I purchased the complete set of Distress Oxide Inks and really wanted to play with them. I have made a couple of backgrounds and loved the results. So for today’s post I’ll show you how they look when used for watercolour.\nSUPPLIES :\nStitched Nested Creative Rectangles Dies\nHello Alice Clear Stamp Set\nI started by stamping the beautiful Mandala Flower in Versamark Ink onto some watercolour cardstock and heat embossed it with Detail White Embossing powder from Ranger (my new fave!).\nI stamped the image towards to left side of my card panel, as I already had a plan in mind.\nThe colours I used were: Worn Lipstick, Wilted Violet, Spiced Marmalade, Fossilized Amber, Cracked Pistachio, Iced Spruce and Peeled Paint. I swiped a little of each colour onto a non-porous surface. Then the colouring began! I did the same technique as I use when colouring with regular Distress Inks. I load some ink onto my water brush and start where I want the darkest colour to be and work my way out."}

{"text": "Filed underCarolina Panthers, NFL, Sports\nBy Ted Fleming\nRussell Wilson (Credit, Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)\nSEATTLE SEAHAWKS BY THE NUMBERS\n2012 Record: 11-5\nRecord vs. Panthers: 4-2 (Includes 2006 NFC Championship Game)\nStreak vs. Seahawks: L2\nLast Meeting: Seahawks 16, Panthers 12 (10/7/12 in Charlotte)\nNext Game: Sunday at Bank of America Stadium (74,455), Charlotte NC at 1:00 p.m.\nA Young Russell Wilson At The Helm\nThe Seattle Seahawks were one of 13 teams to win at least 10 games a year ago so getting off to a strong start is imperative if they plan on overtaking the San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1) for the NFC West crown. Their strong performance was due to the emergence of rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, a third round pick out of Wisconsin.\nThe 24-year-old signal caller passed for 3,118 yards with a superb touchdown to interception ratio (26-10) while giving defenses something else to worry about by tacking on an additional 489 yards rushing. Many scouts believed the 5-foot-11, 206-pounder was too short to be an effective first stringer, but he erased all doubts when he beat out Matt Flynn for the starting job and the rest, as they say, is history.\nWilson was just part of the story on offense because the Seahawks had the league’s 11th best rushing attack with Marshawn Lynch leading the way with 1,590 yards (5.0 average per carry) and 11 of the team’s 16 touchdowns. That duo will surely test the much-improved Panthers defense.\nSeattle’s Receiving Corps Takes Hit\nIf there is one downer it is the loss of wideout Percy Harvin to hip surgery for a torn labrum. His big on field capabilities were thought to be the final piece of an above-average receiving corps that ranked seventh a year ago. The team did not place him on injured reserve and chose to put him on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list making him available, if healthy, to return after six games.\nOverall, the offense jumped from 310 and 321 points in 2010 and 2011, respectively, to 412 last season. While that will win you a few more games, the Seahawks defense also took a giant leap allowing just 245 points. They went from a minus 97 points-differential in 2010 to a plus 167 with the “The Legion of Boom” highlighting the resurgence. Seattle has arguably the best defensive backfield in the league.\n‘The Legion of Boom’\nThree members of the secondary, safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, and cornerback Brandon Browner, all went to the Pro Bowl. Safety Richard Sherman rounds out the fearless foursome and he says the nickname came from ‘Here Comes the Boom’ by Nelly that was played on the stadium loudspeakers. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton will have to be extremely accurate if he hopes to be successful downfield.\nSeattle was solid across the board on defense ranking in the top seven in four key categories, points (9.0 – 1st), yards (239.2 – 3rd), passing defense (151.5 – 4th) and rushing defense (87.8 – 7th). Head coach Pete Carroll wanted to build a world-class defense when he returned to the NFL and last year it emerged as one to be reckoned with.\nThe line, once considered the team’s weakest point, has developed into a force. In the offseason they added free agent defensive ends Michael Bennett (15 career sacks) and Cliff Avril (39.5) with both stepping into starting roles. Other starters include Red Bryant (2.0), Tony McDaniel (8.5), Brandon Mebane (13.0) with Bennett stepping in for Chris Clemons (53.5 including three straight seasons of 11 or more) until he returns.\nThe Panthers have a big test in the season opener and they need to get off to a good start, but for a very different reason than the Seahawks. Seattle is now a proven commodity, Carolina is not and they hope that their 5-1 finish a year ago was not a fluke after starting 2-8. All they have to do is topple one of the best teams in the NFL.\nFor more news and updates, visit Carolina Panthers Central\nTed Fleming is a freelance writer covering all things Carolina Panthers.

{"text": "How can I pay off my home mortgage faster? This is a hugely popular topic and typically the answer is to pay down extra principal each month. In recent years, there has been another concept being pushed which is the P.I.L.L method, Principal Isolation Leverage Liquidity. Does this method really work? Let’s dive into it!\nThere are numerous YouTube videos that talk about the P.I.L.L method. Usually showing someone at a whiteboard scratching out numbers and hand drawn graphs. It’s pretty easy to gloss over the actual numbers this way, trying to sell a theory or concept. I decided to pull out my trusty friend Excel and get to the bottom of it.\nThe P.I.L.L Method Overview\nThe general idea behind the P.I.L.L Method is to take out a loan that operates on simple interest like a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or use a credit card. This money is then used to pay down the mortgage principal in a significant lump sum payment. The end result? You pay less mortgage interest each month, so more money from your payment goes towards paying down additional principal.\nNow you have two loans, the mortgage and the HELOC or credit card debt. The next step is to pay down the credit you used to get the funds for the large mortgage pre-payment. When it is paid off, you do the same thing again. Rinse and repeat until you pay off your entire mortgage.\nThis doesn’t really sound like a great idea on the surface. Take out higher interest debt to pay down lower interest debt. The next step is the purported magic sauce to make this work. The HELOC or credit cards work off simple interest that is based on the average monthly balance. Let’s take the HELOC for example. It is a revolving line of credit that means that you can pay down and take back out of it as much as you want, as long as you stay under the credit limit.\nIf you take out a HELOC for $25,0000 which you use to pay down your mortgage, the principal balance will go down by $25,000. That means you will be saving the mortgage interest every month on that $25,000 that was paid off. The next step is to take all of your income and pay down the HELOC, which reduces the balance on that loan as much as possible. You then pay each of your bills at the last possible moment from the HELOC. The goal is to spend as many days each month with the HELOC balance as low as possible, to minimize the amount of interest you pay on it.\nThis is essentially a form of financial arbitrage, where you are trying to maximize interest savings by playing a shell game with your debt.\nDoes it work? Let’s find out!\nFinancial Scenario Overview\nLet’s setup the scenario then play this out and see how the P.I.L.L method stacks up.\nYou bought a $250,000 home with 20% down at 4.5% on a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. The monthly mortgage payment is $1013.37 on the $200,000 loan. The goal is to pay off the mortgage in full at 5 years. If you pay the mortgage over the full 30 years, you will pay $164,813.42 in interest. Check out these previous posts if you need a refresher on the amortization table or general mortgage concepts.\nAs a baseline, to pay off a $200,000 mortgage, even at zero percent interest, would require a monthly payment of $3,333.33. That would be purely paying principal. Since there is no way to avoid original loan amount actually borrowed, this is the minimal amount possible.\nMonthly Pre-Payment Method – Paying this mortgage off in 5 years will require additional principal pre-payment every month of $2,715.23, or $3,728.60 total. The total interest paid will be $23,716.25, saving $141,097.17.\nAnnual Lump Sum Pre-Payment Method – Paying off this mortgage in 5 years will require an annual pre-payment of $32,000 on the first month of each year of the mortgage. The total interest paid will be $20,354.22, saving $144,459.20.\nThis chart shows how the principal balance on the mortgage declines over time with both the monthly pre-payment method and with the annual lump sum pre-payment method.\nSo far, it is looking like the annual pre-payment method is coming out ahead with $3,362.03 in additional savings.\nCost of the Annual Pre-Payment\nThe challenge is to get the annual pre-payment, which is the heart of the P.I.L.L method. This comes in the form of the HELOC or credit card.\nAssume you take out a $32,000 HELOC, you will need to pay down the principal every month by $2666.67 in order to pay-off the loan by the end of the year and take out your next annual pre-payment. This means that any interest that accrues each month needs to be paid in addition to the principal reduction.\nWe are going to be as generous as possible with the P.I.L.L method assumptions and assume you get paid $7,000 on the first of every month. We will also assume all of your bills are due on the 30th, using 30 days for each month. That means on the first day of the HELOC you will owe $32,000, but on day 2, your balance will drop to $25,000, on the 30thyour balance when you pay your actual mortgage and all of the other bills will go back up to $29,333.33.\nEach month, the starting balance will be your end balance from the previous month. It will continue to go up and down as you pay down the HELOC with your income. When pay your bills out of the HELOC it to go back up at the end of the month.\nOver the course of a year, assuming the HELOC is at 7%, your total interest for the year will be $782.44. If you do this using a credit card at 20% interest, the total interest for the year will be $2,235.55.\nPutting It All Together\nAlright, so we have calculated all of the numbers, what does it look like when we compare apples to apples between just paying extra against principal each month versus using a P.I.L.L with either a HELOC or credit card?\nWe can take a look at the total cumulative interest over the course of the 5 year pay off period. While this graph is done with a $200,000 loan, the trends and curves remain the same regardless of the actual size of the mortgage.\nAs we can see, the monthly pre-payment ends up winning, with the HELOC P.I.L.L in close second and the credit card P.I.L.L as the big loser.\nYeah, But….\nI can pay down my annual HELOC or credit card balance faster than the entire year.\nOkay, great. That also means you can afford to pay more every month against your mortgage. Again, leaving monthly pre-payments the winner.\nMy home mortgage payment has a lot more interest being paid every month than against the HELOC.\nTrue, but that is because it is interest against the entire remaining principal on the mortgage. When you take out a secondary form of credit the interest is against a much smaller principal. The annual pre-payment only reduces the interest on your monthly mortgage payment by the interest that would have accrued against the principal you paid off with the annual pre-payment.\nThe banks hate the guys who are pushing the P.I.L.L method, because it is costing them so much money.\nUmm…right…because they told you the banks hate them? In the end, it costs you more in interest, just not on the home loan. They get their money back faster which they can turn around and re-lend. They really don’t care, unless they are benefiting from the extra interest you are paying on the HELOC or credit card.\nThe HELOC can provide me with emergency funds or if there is a month that I can’t afford to make the extra monthly pre-payment.\nThen get a HELOC and leave it at a zero balance if you need a safety net. If you can’t afford to make the extra pre-payment on a particular month, then don’t. You can always make it up later or just pay off your mortgage one month later. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things.\nNetting It All Out\nIn the end, the P.I.L.L method is a complex scheme of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, but at a higher interest rate.\nThere is no magic here. I really mean that, there is NO magic here.\nThe math is the math on this, don’t fall for some crazy complicated scheme that purports to optimize everything to save you a ton of money. It doesn’t work and actually goes in the other direction. It is all just hidden behind smoke and mirrors to make you think you are doing something other than just pre-paying your mortgage at a different frequency.\nMany of these companies pushing the P.I.L.L method are doing it to make money off you. They sell you software for thousands of dollars or are getting millions of hits on a YouTube video for monetization purposes.\nFinally, paying off your mortgage early is not hard in concept. It just takes discipline to live below your income and prioritize the extra monthly cash flow to paying off your mortgage. In this case, the simplest method really is the most effective, don’t make it harder than it has to be.\nI’d love to hear your thoughts, please leave a comment below! Also, help get the message out about this shady method and share to your social media channels!\nNever heard of P.I.L.L. for mortgage payoff. Great job doing the math & educating others on what does work for paying down your mortgage. I’m in the camp that thinks paying off a low interest mortgage isn’t the right way to go. Given you end up w/ a lower net worth over time (after doing the math), you can reach #FI faster by using very low risk investments, high interest savings accounts, and credit card bonus deals. I looked at the math on it and posted it on my blog for those interested:\nAgain, thanks for the insight on P.I.L.L. – great read. I added a link to your post on my mortgage post.\nHey Greg, thanks for your comment. I saw a number of YouTube videos that talk about it, most don’t mention the PILL method by name, but it’s the same game. From the perspective of completely optimizing your finances, paying off a low interest home mortgage may not be the most efficient. However, it does have a certain psychological impact on a lot of people to have that zeroed out. Similarly to the debt snowball vs paying highest interest debt first.\nThanks for the link!\nThis is interesting to me. There was one company that offers a P.I.L.L. service that claims that I could probably pay off my mortgage in like 3.5 years or something like that. My math comes to paying it off within 4.7 years. I haven’t take a close look at what they propose, and I think I only provided general numbers.\nBut I hate the complexity of the P.I.L.L method. Also, we don’t have enough equity to quality for a HELOC yet. I’m leaning to keep it as simple as possible and paying it off with a massive extra payment every month.\nI’m curious on how this company is coming up with their numbers, but I think your numbers prove that there really aren’t any shortcuts to this process. Thanks for sharing!\nHey Chris, thanks for the comment. You can pick any timeframe you want for the PILL method or mortgage pre-payments in terms of how soon you want to pay off the mortgage. The more money you pay, the faster it goes. I really think the idea behind the PILL method is to create a lot of smoke and mirrors to enable scammers to sell software or people to generate YouTube $$$ off making people think there is some hidden secret to the game the system.\nUltimately, paying principal down as fast as possible saves the most interest on your mortgage. Replacing low interest debt with higher interest debt is a losing proposition mathematically, in almost all cases."}

My plans for vacation are naturally reading and reading and reading!!! But I thought it would be nice if I began this vacation blog series a little differently and share with you all some photographs and a quick historical snapshot of Old Delhi, where I went on a walking tour yesterday! Old Delhi, initially called Shajahanbad was built by the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan in 1639. Situated on the bank of river Yamuna, this red sandstone fortress encompassed an entire city with its wall enclosing upto nearly 1500 kilometers. The main street is known as Chandni Chowk, literally meaning the moonlit square. This was established by Princess Jahanara, the eldest daughter of the Emperor and served as the center of old Delhi trade and society in 17th century. Its street food is still famous and the restaurants have been run by the same families for the last 300+ years. The Jama Masjid is the main mosque of this region and serves as the spiritual center of all Muslims in India. This Walled City is also home to one of the premier poets of India, Mirza Ghalib, whose songs are still sung and poems still revered. I will now actually stop being garrulous and just share the photos instead!!\nPhoto Courtesy : mentallynailbiting (AKA my flatmate and most awesome best friend)\n6 thoughts on “The Old World…”\nAre you there on vacation? Love the pictures! My friend is in India at the moment, back-packing for two months.\nHave a wonderful Christmas!\nThanks a ton Cleo! I live here! Hope you had an awesome Christmas.\nWow! I never knew! For some reason I thought you were in England, but it could have been the title of your blog that swayed me — or perhaps some of your vernacular. 🙂 I’ve always wanted to visit India but it’s one of those dreams that is on the edge of realizable.\nI love your flatmate’s name, BTW. 🙂\nWow! Cleo, I take as a compliment and more importantly the Irish-English Catholic Nuns at the Convent School I went to for 12 years would consider their mission a success, if they could read this now! For 12 years I read, spoke and ate England and that too during my formidable years. No surprise I sound more English than Indian!! 😉 I do hope you can visit India sometime….I know there are a lot perceptions about this country, and like everything else, its got good with the bad. However we do have a unique culture that goes back to 3500 B.C. and beyond and history is found in every nook and corner. So if you get chance, do hop on and I will for sure offer my services as tour guide! 🙂 Yeah! That’s my flatmate….she leaps first and then bites her nails while free falling!!! 🙂\nHope you are enjoying your vacation! Thanks for sharing all the wonderful photos!\nThanks Stefanie!

{"text": "Like a Never-Ending Review Session\nI’ve been dreaming of thematically outlining U.S. history for some time. I have it down just about perfectly.\nThe theory is that by having each unit build on the previous units, students will have reinforced the basic timeline and major events, while better students can concentrate on the rest of the minutiae.\nPolitics will be taught as a mirror to economics — generally, the cause of wars and wars’ greatest lasting effect. Media history — including yellow journalism and that 1960 presidential debate — could fit before the unit on wars or afterward, depending on how much a teacher wants to stress the Spanish-American War.\nApproaching history like this has a number of advantages, including from the “reinforce basic stuff” angle.\nMoreover, it really impresses on students the longevity of some national issues.\nStudents only really consider slavery just before or during the Civil War, even though Monroe and even Fillmore patched up the Union in times of North v. South crisis on the slavery issue.\nThe way I remember my high school history classes, we first really learned about Jim Crow laws once a class hit the Civil Rights era, even though those laws had been on the books almost as long as the 13th Amendment.\nBy teaching this as a whole unit, students will understand rather than just hear that however likable Eisenhower was, he did very little on the civil rights question. Students should understand that racial issues didn’t just skip from Lincoln to Kennedy or, in Supreme Court decisions, from Plessy to Brown.\nHigh-minded as that might seem, in the end my goal is to simply ensure that my students will not embarrass themselves during some Jay Walking — Conan Walking? — or one of those abominable surveys.\nMy students will forget Henry Clay and John Calhoun, but they will bloody sure remember when the Vietnam War was without feeble guessing.\nFor the moment, I teach government. However, as my goal is to teach AP U.S. History, this preparation will certainly come in handy.\nI told my master teacher what I planned to do during Spring Break, and she was enthusiastically supportive.\nDon’t forget to outline the next unit in government.\nShe’s more of a realist. I may be a dreamer, but I’m not the only one.\nMoral of the story? First things first, unless inspiration strikes.\nMarch 19, 2008 at 7:30 am\nHi,\nI am a career changer who is getting my secondary ed/social studies certification now. I was actually thinking about using this very same approach when I actually get in a classroom…until I started my field work and realized that standardized testing might put an end to this idea. How would you handle having to cover specific material for the standardized tests if you do the topical theme approach vs chronology? I guess if the state exams are at the end of the year, it would work. If not, then it might be a problem. Ditto for years where the first part of history is taught one year and the next year the kids pick up where they left off. For example, in NY, the kids take US history in 7th grade and cover up to reconstruction. Then in 8th grade, they pick up and cover until the current. They have a NYS test in May.\nI am curious if you have seen this done? I have yet to observe a teacher doing this but it makes so much more sense! Would you post your ideas for the different topical units?\nMarch 19, 2008 at 2:34 pm\nYou are my new hero.\nI got unexpectedly assigned 11th grade US history last year, and I’ve been teaching it the way I’m supposed to: chronologically. (We do have a curriculum map and regular district tests to see if we’re following the curriculum map. The only time changing it has been allowed was when all the algebra teachers agreed that doing it that way didn’t work.) I tried to do a little reinsert of themes this year but it’s just not going well.\nThe last two years have pretty much convinced me that most juniors aren’t going to get much out of US History taught like usual.\nAnyway, I guess I’m saying, if the inspiration strikes and you get to do it your way, I want to be along for the ride. If it goes well, maybe I can convince my principle to let me buck the curriculum map and try it myself.\nMarch 19, 2008 at 10:30 pm\nI have the rest of this week’s blogs typed out already, actually.

{"text": "29!\n18.9.08\nSitzing around the House\nDid I write about making tea the other week? Well, the other week I was making some tea as a gift for Mr As coworker. Ive never really gotten into herbs before, but I like tea and figured I might as well give it a shot. We have this amazing herb store down the road from us (right next to Trader Joes on 39th, all you PDXers) and they have this Wall-O-Herbs that is literally a huge wall with jars of bulk herbs. Any herb you can imagine, its there. So, because herbs are so darn convenient to obtain, I have taken a shining to making herby things.\nBack to Sitzing. I was reading online about herbal sitz bath products and how they can help you feel better after the baby tears all your junk up (eloquent, as always). You basically make a tea out of it and then you can put it into your little Sitz Bath thing, put it in a bucket and sit in it, put it in your bath tub, or put it in your peri-bottle (nonbabymakers: this is a little squeeze bottle you use in lieu of TP after birthing since dry paper is hard and scratchy). Apparently the herbs soothe and assist with a speedy recovery. Sounds good to me!\nIf you buy sitz bath herbs online its usually around $8 for a 4oz jar. Lame! The hip preggo boutiques around Portland are worse. So how exciting is it for me to have access to the Wall-O-Herbs?! Sure, you can order herbs online in bulk, but I dont find that nearly as exciting and I would think that without any herbal experience, it would seem overwhelming and almost risky.\nI went out today and got myself some ingredients based on this recipe I found online last night. I set about putting it all together and there was so much I had to use this old salsa container to store the rest! So for about $15 I have a whole crapload of bath herbs and Im ready to heal!\nFor those who are curious but dont want to follow the link, this is what I put in there:\nrosemary, sea salt, uva ursi, chickweed, marshmallow root, plantain, calendula (marigolds), chamomile, lavender, and yarrow.\nNext up, homemade disposable diaper wipes!\n17.9.08\nFrozen Dinners\nAny good links to helpful websites on this topic?\nLong Night\nBut I know that my body is different. Yesterday at the gym I was walking on the treadmill, as that is pretty much all Ive been able to do for the past month or so. Before I used to go between the treadmill and the elliptical, going at a pace I would consider \"brisk\". Last week I was walking at a pace of 3.0, the week before that it was 3.5. Yesterday I was togging along at 2.5 and if I went above that pace for more than a minute I started contracting to the point where I had to just stop entirely! I didnt even finish both episodes of Bringing Home Baby!\nThen I went to yoga class at 530. Thus far, Ive prided myself on being able to keep up with the rest of the class with only minimal modifications for my expanding midsection. Yesterday I couldnt hold even the simplest downward dog for more than 30 seconds! Yikes!\nAnd the worst part is that I think I OVEREXERTED myself! Walking and breathing was just too much for me apparently! Last night when I went to bed I was so uncomfortable. I was hot and then I was cold and I was up and then I was down. The baby was rolling, kicking, moving and I could not find a position where this didnt feel like torture. Then I started contracting in a very uncomfortable way and it was accompanied by small but noticeable pains in the lowest regions of babyland.\nObviously the baby is further down in my pelvis so I didnt find this to be too shocking. The shock came from the fact that such a small amount of activity could have put so much strain on my body.\nI watched the season premier of The Biggest Loser last night and I must say that I have a new reverence for how difficult that must be for some of those folks. Even if your mind says you can do it, sometimes your body is just like \"no thank you!\"\n15.9.08\nNow the real fun begins...\nThe baby update is that everything is awesome. Normal blood pressure, normal measurement, normal heart rate, etc. Hes in ROC or ROA or whatever the position is called thats good. Hes head down and low in my pelvis, which is kind of a wacky feeling - theres something there that wasnt there before! The midwives told me that all my contractions are a good sign that my body is getting ready for expelling this little creature.\nIve been having a feeling like he is going to come early. Not premature early, just earlier than expected. My mom and grandma both delivered their kids earlier than their EDD (estimated date of delivery) so maybe thats where Im getting it from. I really hope that he can hold on until October because Im fairly set on October as being the month of the baby coming. Im \"prepared\" for a September baby, Ive got all the diapers carseats and stuff ready to go, but Im expecting an October baby.\nWell, next Tuesday I will be 37 weeks, which is considered full-term. So after that its just a matter of waiting for him to decide hes coming out.\nIn other news, I got a 6 pack of large tagless cotton bikini underoos from Costco and I CANT BELIEVE IT TOOK ME THIS LONG TO DO THAT! Its awesome and I should have bought a pack about 5 months ago before I streched out all my favorite undergarments. And when I either destroy or grow out of them (hopefully shrink out of them) then I can just toss them in the garbage because they were only 10 bucks. So smart. Why didnt I do this sooner?\nAs an afterthought:\nOne would think that October would be the 8th month of the year, huh? I think July (Julius) and August (Augutus) messed that up but I cant remember exactly how that story goes. Anyone know why that is?\n13.9.08\nWeird Science\nHeres my \"experiments\"\n- Ive been drinking 2-3 large cups of red raspberry leaf tea, occasionally mixed with equal amount of partridge berry, everyday for the last two or three months. According to my sources (the book Labor Pain by Nicky Wesson) the Cherokee Indians drank partridge berry tea to hasten labor and ease delivery. The raspberry leaf is a fairly well-known woman friendly herb. It tones the uterus and is said to make labor easier. WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT!\n- I have made a tincture of skullcap and blue cohosh which I will use during labor because its an antispasmodic and helps to calm the nerves. It also is said to make people drowsy and taste like ass. Risky business.\n- Hot compresses made of water mixed with drops of clary sage oil placed over the pubic bone are said to be helpful for pain relief. I have the oil, a crock pot and some rags all ready to go. I was also thinking with this one that I would get some base oil (like grape seed or sweet almond) and make a clary sage massage oil to use during labor. Your skin can absorb it right into your blood stream so perhaps a massage oil would be more effective than a compress. Clary sage oil is a sedative that is particular for labor but you cant use it during pregnancy - interesting.\n- Water. Good ole water. I was thinking about laboring in a tub depending on if I could find one that is comfortable enough and able to keep it at a temperature that I find appealing (Im picky about water temp). I heard showers are good too but something about being IN water sounds better to me.\n- On that note, Ive been considering taking a water aerobics class now that Im getting pregnant enough that walking and working out has lost its appeal. I was sitting at a football game last night and my feet just blew up because the weight of my uterus is no longer letting blood flow to my legs. I would bet that floating in water would not only feel like instantly relief, but would also promote better circulation. Besides, several people (both friends and strangers) have told me or related stories that implied water aerobics helped with having an easier delivery.\n- Ive been taking a yoga class once a week to practice breathing and relaxing and stretching and such. I feel like Im going to be a noisy laborer. Not necessarily a panicked \"oh my god Im going to die\" kind of noisy, but that since Im an expressive person my labor would be...well...expressive. Hopefully my dedication to staying physically active will pay off when it comes time to squeeze this boy out!\n- Im almost embarrassed to admit this one, I have tried talking to the baby and coming to some sort of agreement with him. I try to visualize labor and delivery and I either directly or indirectly ask the baby to not hurt me too much, get stuck, be huge or anything like that. It almost sounds too wacky for words but its been offering me a surprising amount of comfort and hope. I guess my thought are that if I spend the next few weeks dreading labor and being totally focused on what a nightmare its going to be, it probably will end up feeling that way irregardless.\n- I read a book by Grantly Dick-Read that was my grandmothers (read: its an antique) and even though the language is practically archaic I thought it was one of the more helpful books I have read. He doesnt necessarily suggest brokering a deal with your fetus, but he does point out that the more you are freaked out about labor the harder its going to end up being.\n- I dont know how much a persons diet affects their labor and delivery but I would imagine there is a correlation there somewhere. I have been what I would consider \"OK\" about eating well throughout this whole process. Now that we are in the stages of preparing for the main event Ive been trying to take more B-complex, calcium, and protein. But especially Ive been bulking up on iron and omega fatty acids.\nThe things I havent done are things like taking a birth class, learning any kind of specific breathing exercises (\"hee hee hee hoooo\" type stuff), practicing mediation/relaxation techniques, or rehearsing pain relieving positions. For some reason these are all things that I think I will either figure out instinctively or my midwife can just show me in the moment.\nAgain, I have no idea if any of this stuff will work and even if it does work I will have no way of letting you know what worked and what didnt. This is how Im preparing for labor and delivery. This is my wacky science experiment!\n10.9.08\nShower Me With Babies!\nSaturday was such a wonderful surprise!\nMaybe its because I live away from my family. Or maybe its because I went to school out of state so all my friends are scattered throughout the country. Or maybe its because I never bothered to really try and make friends in Portland. Whatever it is, I was sort of dreading the baby shower issue. Its not that I really really want to play shower games and dote over all things baby. Its just that knowing I should be having one and knowing I probably wouldnt be having one unless I threw it for myself (lame!) was making me feel rather unpopular.\nSomewhere along the line Mr A picked up on the vibes and organized a surprise shower/baby BBQ for this past Saturday! Now, my husband is not what I would consider a skilled social event organizer, so it was really awesome that he went so far out of his box for me! It was indescribable how great I felt. But Ill try to highlight some of the things that meant the most.\n1) Both his family and my family (some of them) were gathered in the same backyard. The last time this happened was at our wedding rehearsal dinner and I thought it was simply tops. Theres something about everyone being together that I just adore. I love having both our families in the same area, talking, getting to know each other and just hanging out. Maybe its because I love my family so darn much. As a bonus, I really super like all my in-laws, too. So bringing both together and watching them interact and enjoy each other is really special for me. I wish I didnt have to get married or have a baby to bring the two families into the same place for dinner (because eventually Im going to run out of major life events!) but for now Ill take what I can get!\n2) If the whole party had been just family that would have been more than enough for me. But it wasnt! I had friends who drove from all over the place just to be there for the afternoon. That was so cool because its a long drive and I know they didnt come for the sole purpose of playing \"who can suck the water out of the bottle the fastest\"! I guess I consider myself the kind of person who would drive several hours for an event if it were someone I considered very close to me, so the gesture didnt go unappreciated.\n3) Everyone contributed something to the party. People helped out with games and food and chairs or whatever. The BBQ was a real collaboration and thats the kind of shindig that I like the best!\nIm still smiling about it! It was exactly what I wanted out of a \"baby shower\" and I'm glad that everyone (especially everyone in the family) got to catch up with Mr A & I before the baby is born. I love these kinds of events! I hope someone else has a baby soon so I can go to someone else's shower and relive this moment vicariously!\nThanks again!\n6.9.08\nThe Business of Being Born\n5.9.08\n5am on a Friday\n3.9.08\nLabor Day Weekend\n"}

{"text": "Some people like to believe that indie music is simply about dressing up in a particular way that stands out from the rest of the crowd. (Like a fancy but funny hat bought using a rare Bonprix gutscheincode.) At other times, people also think that to go indie simply means deviating from every possible norm. But of course, as you probably know, indie is so much more than that.\nIndie is a culture, a system of values, that refuses to believe or to adhere to anything just because everyone else believes it or abides by it. Having said that, it makes sense that such a culture applies to music, as well. And so, you find yourself in this day and age, where more and more artists are producing indie music. How do you write reviews for them, though?\nStep #1: Go buy an indie album.\nAs Sherlock would say, this is ‘elementary, my dear Watson.’ Of course, if you need to write a review of indie album, you will first need to secure an indie album. Don’t worry about having to identify where to find them. You can simply look up the word ‘indie’ on Spotify and iTunes, and you will most likely be confronted with a whole list of indie albums. (And this saves you a lot of money, too, especially if you go there using an Uber free voucher code.)\nStep #2: Have a seat and have your preliminary listening.\nYour preliminary listening should not be focused on taking the album apart, though, not just yet. Your first listening session should just be all about basking yourself in the whole field of the album. Get a feel for each song, and just enjoy it. (While you’re at it, don’t allow yourself to get distracted by stuff such as your Tajawal coupon code. There’s plenty of time for that later.)\nStep #3: Really listen.\nThis is the part where you can now take apart the album. Perform an analysis of each song by choosing one aspect to listen to and focusing on that. For example, focus on the guitars section, and try to make sense of what the artist is doing.\nAfter that, you’ll be more than ready to write your review."}

{"text": "Lifting AFSPA From Valley Not An Option, Venkaiah Naidu Says\n19 February 2015\nTimes of India\nNew Delhi\n:\nAs negotiations between BJP and PDP continue on the contentious issues of Article 370 and Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) before the two agree to form the government in Jammu and Kashmir, Union minister Venkaiah Naidu has hinted that while the former could be discussed, the latter was non-negotiable. The two parties are currently discussing a common minimum programme to formalize the alliance and form a government. Sources said the discussions were stuck on the issues of abrogation of Article 370 and removal of AFSPA from the Valley. While BJP has been pushing for the former, PDP has been batting for the latter. Parliamentary affairs minister Naidu on Thursday hinted that while the party could consider PDP's demands on Article 370 given the electoral reality, it would not compromise on AFSPA as it was not just the Army which was a stakeholder in the issue but 'the entire country'. Talking to a TV channel, Naidu said, 'We have to understand the reality. People have given a fractured mandate. We are not in a majority. Discussions on Article 370 will keep sensitivities of Kashmir in mind.' On PDP's demand for removal of AFSPA from the Valley and opposition from Army being a factor, Naidu said, 'It's not just the Army which is a stakeholder in the issue. The entire country is. It's an issue dear to all Indians. There are 40 terror camps operating. We cannot withdraw AFSPA.' Naidu said he was sure that those negotiating with PDP would make the party understand the issue. The assertion comes a day after Mufti Mohammed Sayeed hinted that there could be no deal with BJP if the latter did not agree to his party's demands on Article 370 and AFSPA. Removal of AFSPA was PDP's poll promise while abrogation of Article 370 is an issue not agreeable to any party in the Valley.\n[\n] [\nArchives 2015\n]\nWeb site maintained by Md. Sadiq & Friends"}

{"text": "The oversupply of polysilicon on world markets may last until at least 2014, pushing more high- cost producers of the raw material used for solar panels into bankruptcy, Hanwha Chemical Corp. (009830) said.\nThe unit of Hanwha Group, which has built a supply chain of solar businesses through acquisitions since 2010, is “skeptical for the moment” about acquisitions as many of the polysilicon assets put up for sale are inefficient, Senior Vice President J.C. Song said in an interview in Seoul.\n“The polysilicon prices are now covering cash costs at a handful of top-tier producers, which means they are below production costs for the remaining ones,” Song said yesterday. “While it limits expansion and new entrances, the glut may continue until 2014 or 2015.”\nPrices of polysilicon (SSPFPSNO:US) have slumped by two-thirds in the past year, dropping to $22.63 in the week ended June 11, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s survey of spot prices.\nSong estimated costs at top producers would range from $25 per kilogram to $30. Separately, he said production costs at companies with an annual capacity of 10,000 tons such as Hanwha’s would be at least 30 percent less than at lines with a 3,000-ton capacity, which most producers have.\nHanwha Chemical, which owns half of the seventh-largest solar panel producer, is spending 1 trillion won ($869 million) building the first polysilicon plant in Yeosu, South Korea.\nOnce the plant, capable of producing 10,000 tons a year, begins commercial production in 2014, about half of the output will be sold to Hanwha SolarOne Co., the Qidong-based photovoltaic module maker that Hanwha bought half of for 430 billion won in 2010, Song said.\n‘Glut Concern’\n“When we first studied whether to build a plant or buy, the material was in shortage and no one offered a long-term supply,” Song said. The construction plan, meanwhile, “is on track as planned regardless of the glut concern because it’s important to have flexibility in the next negotiations on whether to build or buy.”\nHanwha’s investment plan is taking place at a time when rivals have scaled back expansion or scrapped investments. OCI, South Korea’s biggest polysilicon maker, put on hold construction of a new production line while LG Chem Ltd. (051910), South Korea’s biggest chemical maker, postponed a plan to build its first polysilicon plant in Korea.\nSong said he’s confident about cost-efficiencies at the proposed plant, which would produce products at costs that top- tier producers such as Wacker Chemie AG (WCH) and OCI do.\nHe attributed Hanwha’s confidence to know-how obtained as South Korea’s biggest maker of chlorine-alkali chemicals and to benefits from cutting utility costs by $2-3 per kilograms through gas and other pipelines shared with its petrochemical plant. Hanwha Chemical shares fell 0.5 percent to 21,100 won at 10:35 a.m. in Seoul trading.\nTo contact the reporter on this story: Sangim Han in Seoul at sihan@bloomberg.net\nTo contact the editor responsible for this story: Amit Prakash at aprakash1@bloomberg.net"}
{"text": "The Green Bay Packers' starting defensive tackles will have a youthful look during Sunday's regular season opener.\n\"We'll bring a lot enthusiasm and a lot of spirit,\" defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins said.\nEither Jenkins or Corey Williams, both second-year players, will occupy seven-year veteran Cletidus Hunt's former spot on the interior alongside Grady Jackson. Head coach Mike Sherman has not announced the starters, but both Jenkins and Williams will receive repetitions at that position.\nJenkins, who attended Central Michigan University, started six games last year and brings more speed while Corey Williams weighs 313 pounds, 23 more than Jenkins, and holds up better against the run.\n\"Cullen Jenkins is quick, very explosive,\" defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila said. \"He's quick enough he could even play on the outside.\"\nIndeed the coaching staff tried the explosive 290-pounder at defensive end early in training camp. Then injuries to Hunt and Jackson forced Jenkins, who played on the interior during his rookie year, to move back inside.\n\"I bounce around wherever I'm needed,\" Jenkins said.\nWilliams also has versatility. He backed up Gbaja-Biamila and Aaron Kampman at defensive end on occasion last year but received most of his work at defensive tackle. Williams will play that position this year with 12 games of experience under his belt.\n\"I know a lot more techniques,\" he said. \"The speed of the game is coming to me quicker than last year.\"\nWilliams has become a lot more comfortable with double teams, something that overwhelmed him in 2004, and has improved his leverage by maintaining a low pad level. To prevent offensive linemen from grabbing and holding him, he continues to hone his hand technique.\nFor advice on those fundamentals, Williams and Jenkins turn to Jackson, a nine-year veteran. The graybeard of a young interior line, he relies on lessons he learned from Russell Maryland as a fledgling defender with the Oakland Raiders in the late 1990s.\n\"I'm a leader and I have to show them by example and help on the field.\" Jackson said. \"They're willing listeners.\"\nJackson taught rookie defensive end Michael Montgomery how to stay low, read the offensive linemen and use his hips to disengage off blocks.\nAlong with his tutelage, Jackson's physical presence will make the jobs easier for everyone on the defensive line. The 345-pounder often commands extra attention, leaving Jenkins or Williams in one-on-one situations.\n\"It's real good to look to the right and see a big ol' boy line up right beside me,\" Williams said.\nWilliams, unlike Jenkins, did not start any games in 2004. However, he enjoyed a coming out party against the Chicago Bears in the final regular season game. He recorded five tackles, including a sack that dropped Bears quarterback Chad Hutchinson for a six-yard loss.\nThat game may have served as the jumping-off point for Williams' career, but young defensive tackles can go through their share of growing pains. Williams' life experiences have prepared him for any adversity that could come his way.\nAt age 15, he lost his father. Five years later, his mother passed away and right before auditioning for NFL personnel at the scouting combine, the Arkansas State University prospect lost his infant daughter.\n\"It can't get worse than what I've already been through,\" he said. \"It was a tough time in my life. I didn't let it get me down.\"\nWilliams now uses those setbacks as motivation, and that incentive helped him earn extensive playing time this season.\nJackson averaged about 60 plays-a-game last year, but the coaching staff will rotate their linemen more this year. Jackson expects to receive 30 to 35 this year.\n\"It will keep you more fresh in the fourth quarter,\" Jackson said.\nWith Jackson missing all but the last week of training camp with a knee injury, Jenkins and Williams received a lot of action, but defensive coordinator Jim Bates knows the regular season will serve as the barometer of their skills.\n\"I'm anxious to see them both play,\" he said. \"They've done a nice job in preseason, but to evaluate anyone that's a younger player, you have to get into the season and see the real games, the 60-minute games, before you can make an assessment.\"\n**\nQuick Hits: Head coach Mike Sherman praised the players' performance during Friday's practice. \"It was clean, crisp,\" he said. \"Guys knew what they were supposed to do and they did it.\" ... Sherman on rookie linebacker Roy Manning: \"He's really adapted quite well to everything we've thrown at him,\" he said. \"He's done a fabulous job of grasping everything. I have confidence in Roy Manning.\" Either Manning or Robert Thomas will start at weakside linebacker against the Lions."}

{"text": "Steve Madden Travel Sandal Review April 20, 2020\nHappy Monday everyone. I’m going to start off this week by reviewing this Spring and Summer’s most popular sandal: the Travel Sandal by Steve Madden. I happened to already have the clear pair, so I figured I would give my honest review on it. This is not a collaboration or paid post. If you are looking to purchase the Steve Madden Travel sandal or are on the fence about it, I hope this post helps you out. Here is my Steve Madden Travel Sandal Review.\nFirst Impressions\nSteve Madden always has the best shoes, in my opinion. I ordered the Travel Sandal before all the hype was around it and when it first came out. They came in a neat Steve Madden box and were packaged up appropriately. When I opened the box, I saw how stunning these shoes actually were in person. They really are some show-stopping shoes. Like I said above, I ordered the clear pair. So the bands around your feet are clear with the silver studs. I couldn’t wait to try them on. I ordered my normal size 8. These sandals also come in tan, snake skin, yellow, and white.\nTrying Them On\nWhen I took them out of the box to put on, I won’t lie, I was very confused at how I was supposed to wear them. It took me a good couple of minutes to get the hand of how to wrap the straps around my ankle. <insert face palm emoji>. When I tried them on, I noticed the middle strap across the top of my foot was very loose. I do have very narrow feet, so I was kind of expecting that to happen, so no worries there. I was surprised at how snug the very first strap was around my toes though. I have long slender toes and the strap fit snug on top of them. I also feel like if my toes were much shorter, this would be an issue as well. However, I didn’t have an issue there.\nWearing Them\nI have only worn these sandals once. Since we have been in quarantine for so long, I don’t really have a place to wear them. While wearing them, I noticed the sole of the shoes was very comfortable as it has a good bit of padding on it. The straps on the clear sandals are made of plastic I believe, so they could cut in to your feet if they are too tight. I did notice some rubbing on my ankle, but nothing that caused a blister or anything. I don’t see this being an issue with the other colors, because the straps are a bit softer. They really do spice up your outfit. I like that fact the clear sandals go with practically any outfit because there is no color to it.\nAre They Worth It?\nAre the Steve Madden Travel Sandals worth the hype?? I think they are. Although I do see some issues if you have thicker feet or super short toes. These sandals are comfy and they look amazing with outfits. I will definitely be wearing them more often when quarantine is over. I hope you enjoyed my Steve Madden Travel Sandal Review\nYou can read my previous post by clicking, here.\nrevidew review steve Steve madden steve madden travel sandal travel sandal"}

I’m constantly looking for ways to improve the presentation and usability; I’ve already heavily modified how blogs are presented in what is the new default skin (style) of the Hub, Sosumi_3, and I’m always thinking what I could do better, and looking for more new features to build in for our Hub members.\n…\nI stress that this blog is also meant to reach out to everyone else too; which is one reason why it is on the Hub and not on the Hangout. Hopefully, it will help spark mutually productive conversations between atheists and theists and everyone else inbetween. And of course, even better would be this blog if it encourages others, whether atheist or religious, to blog on the Hub too!\n…\nThen I also do have a tendency to every now and then at rare intervals actually post about myself or better still and more likely my garden at length and with pictures, and that kind of subject matter is better suited to a blog than to a normal thread on the board, which is what I did before when talking on such matters.\nNow, then, the topics the blog covers more topics than this snips let on, there’s loads of interesting material which is, I think, his way of encouraging blogging; there’s bound to be something that interests someone else enough to blog about it. So, have a look-see and blog on the Hub or on your own blog, or just hang around and read.\nOne more thing, The Heathen Hub, the forum in which the blog is located, is also an interesting place to peruse, so I’ll link it\nBy the way, yes this is somewhat shameless promotion, since I and others are trying to get more traffic to the forums. I won’t lie to you, but do check it out, there’s great reading material (we are trying to revive it for a reason, you know).\n—–\nEdited to add: There are links to his blog and the Hub to the right and down.\n——————–\nPosted in Funny?

{"text": "This has become basically the most boring horse blog of all time. I’m sorry! Last night, it was warm enough to go ride my horse…but the sideways snow and the hacking cough got the better of me so I went home instead.\nToday, I have only left the couch to accompany the boyfriend to go see Frozen. Which you should go see, if only for the Fjords, they were totally adorable. (It was a good movie too. But Fjords!)\nBesides, our high was 7 for the day, and the hacking cough is way worse.\nTomorrow: work on my day off, followed by a massage for Tristan, which was supposed to be preceded by a lesson. But the high is 12 and I should probably not be engaging in athletic endeavors. Potentially by Thursday the temperatures will start to crawl back up into the teens and stay there, and God willing and the crick don’t rise (it can’t, it’s frozen) I will kick this cold.\nSigh.\nHere, have a picture of our bucket ice pile. I know people say you should have potable water in front of your horse at all times, but those people clearly haven’t lived in a place without an electrical grid that will support heated buckets…in an environment in which ice forms on open water in ten or twenty minutes. They refresh the buckets constantly during the day, and swap buckets around all the time to keep the ice buildup down, but winter, it is not to be messed with.\n2 thoughts on “Still Not Spring”\nWe have a bucket ice pile as well. My trainer lost several horses in a barn fire several years ago and she won't use heated buckets even with this horrible cold. So buckets get refilled often but like you said sometimes they freeze in about 10 minutes.\nHope you kick the cold soon! and I hope winter eases up for all of us!\nJust add beer to the water. Its what I do and they don't freeze nearly as quickly! Just purchase some cheap beer. Horses love it, too!"}

These celebrations predate the Plymouth colonists and their feast of gratitude in 1621 --\nIn.\"\nAnother \"first Thanksgiving\" occurred on June 30, 1564, when French Huguenot colonists celebrated in a settlement near Jacksonville, Florida. This \"first Thanksgiving,\" was later commemorated at the Fort Carolina Memorial on the St. Johns River in eastern Jacksonville.\nThe harsh winter of 1609-1610 generated a famine that caused the deaths of 430 of the 490 settlers. In the spring of 1610, colonists in Jamestown, Virginia, enjoyed a Thanksgiving service after English supply ships arrived with food. This colonial celebration has also been considered the \"first Thanksgiving.\" (Source: Library of Congress -- Wise Guide)\nFirst Thanksgiving in Massachusetts\n\"In 1620, the area from Narragansett Bay in eastern Rhode Island to the Atlantic Ocean in southeastern Massachusetts, including Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, was the home of a village people who called themselves the Pokanoket ...\"\nThe \"First Thanksgiving\" celebrated by the Plymouth Colonists was based on customs that the immigrants brought with them. The Indian contribution to the event was the menu. Roast wild duck, goose and turkey, venison made into pies with corn meal crusts, were Indian food. The robust ale, made from their one successful English crop of barley was the main non-native food. The three day feast symbolizes a rarely achieved relationship of peaceful coexistence between Indians and Europeans in the 17th century.

(Flash is required.)\nRemember the first Thanksgiving? American school kids are taught the story of how, in 1621, the Indian called Squanto helped the Pilgrim settlers in Plymouth survive by teaching them Native skills, such as the best method for growing corn. Thus was born the great autumn feast of thanks. But recent scholarly research is overturning the conventional understanding of Indians' relations with the settlers. In an excerpt from his new book, 1491, Charles C. Mann surveys this emerging view, which suggests that the Native Americans were far more sophisticated than previously believed-and yet at the mercy of forces that abetted the settlers' ambitions.\nFor the full article, see Charles C.

{"text": "Elegant Dining in San Francisco\nElegant dining in San Francisco is certainly one of the \"must-do\" activities for visitors and locals alike. Be sure that you do your homework before you, and your credit card, make a reservation at one of these jewels of the City.\nEnjoy Elegant Dining in San Francisco\nThe diversity and cosmopolitan nature of San Francisco makes it home to many excellent restaurants. Some of these are particularly elegant, combining the best of menu selections, service and décor. The following restaurants are particularly interesting because of the unusual dining experience they add to their elegant dining.\nWaterbar\nBorder of South of Market and the Financial District - 399 The Embarcadero South (Between Folsom and Harrison), (415) 284-9922, serving lunch daily from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Nearby parking and valet parking available. Four blocks from the Embarcadero Street BART station and available by the N T and J MUNI lines.\nWaterbar was designed by award-winning restaurant designer and entrepreneur Pat Kuleto with floor-to-ceiling aquariums, an open kitchen and offers breathtaking views of the Bay. The menu includes fresh seafood and local ingredients including sea bass and sea urchin cerviche, local oysters and turbot with baby artichokes. Don't miss the chocolate peanut butter silk for dessert!\nEPIC Steak\nBorder of South of Market and the Financial District - 369 The Embarcadero South (Between Folsom and Harrison), (415) 369-9955, serving brunch on the weekends from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., weekday lunches from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and nightly dinners from 5:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. A bar menu is served from 2:00 p.m. daily. Valet parking available. Four blocks from the Embarcadero Street BART station and available by the N T and J MUNI lines. Reservations are available.\nPat Kuleto has designed a comfortable, sophisticated steak house environment for EPIC Steak with wood-burning grills and ovens, a massive fireplace and rich fabrics. The menu includes aged beef, fowl, pork and lamb as well as table-side prime rib service. Diners can select from a half-pound burger to Kobe beef with sides that range from onion rings with anchovy catsup to mac and cheese. Save room for the dessert menu that includes bread pudding, chocolate soufflés, crème brulee and a variety of other sumptuous meal enders.\nA Final Thought\nElegant dining in San Francisco does not have to mean \"expensive dining.\" You can potentially save on your bill by bringing your own wine (and just pay a corkage fee), enjoying the lunch menu or selecting several appetizer portions in lieu of an entrée-sized portion. Still too expensive for your budget? You don't have to eat an entrée to enjoy the ambiance. Instead, consider enjoying a cocktail and appetizer or a post-dinner drink and dessert at one of these restaurants, in conjunction with a more value-conscious entrée at another restaurant."}

{"text": "Every year, I try to come up with New Year's Resolutions because I love the feeling of setting goals and accomplishing them. However, I always come up with my resolutions too late, so I don't have enough time to really think about them. I always end up forgetting them as the year goes on, too. Now that I have my blog, I decided that I'm going to post my New Year's Resolutions here so I can look back on them whenever I need to.\nAshley's New Year's Resolutions:\n1. Become more organized. I am definitely organized enough as it is. However, I love finding out about new ways to organize the various items I have. My goal with this resolution is to find more ways to organize and maybe even come up with my own ways to share with you all.\n2. Find better study habits. I'm one of those I-need-to-get-an-A-or-else-I'll-freak people. I'm constantly worrying about my grades and making sure that I have an A in every class. And yes, I devote a lot of my time to studying and doing homework. The study habits I have right now have been working out pretty good, but I know there are more ways that I can help them to become even better. My goal with this resolution is to find more study habits to help me do better on the quizzes and tests that I take.\n3. Read more. Whenever I have extra time, I grab the next book on my list and read! That's why I read so many books in the summer - I have so much time. Reading is probably one of my top five favorite things to do. When the school year comes around, I find that I have less and less time to read because my life gets so much busier. I want to be able to read as much as I can! It's a proven fact that reading helps one to become a better writer, so why not absorb a lot of books to help me write a better blog?! My goal with this resolution is to find more time to read during the school year.\n4. Develop a better blog. As stated in the resolution above, I was hoping that reading more books would help me write a better blog. Who knows! I've wanted to have a blog ever since I was younger. I just got this blog in September, but I've barely made any posts in it. Therefore, I can be classified as a \"newbie.\" My goal with this resolution is to find a way to make my blog more appealing and to get it to become well-known.\n5. Gain creative insights. I've always to be more creative. I've tried to do little art projects, but every time I make something, it tends to come out looking like, well... crap! Every time I go on Pinterest, I see cute little crafts that I want to try, but then I think to myself, Is it really worth spending this money to make this craft when it's just going to turn out horrible? My goal with this resolution is to become better at making crafts and make more crafts.\n6. Make more money. I don't have a job yet, but I'm luckily getting one in the next couple of months. Not having a good amount of money is a real downer because then I can't buy clothes, go out to eat with friends, etc. I made a lot of money babysitting last summer, but I really only get called to babysit during the summer and not during the school year. My goal with this resolution is to find ways to make more money.\n7. Become more confident. My confidence is basically nonexistent. It's especially bad when I'm studying or taking a test or a quiz because I get really anxious and feel like I don't know any of the answers. However, when I get the test or quiz back, I end up getting a grade that is somewhere in the 90s. I basically just psych myself out and get so worried. My goal with this resolution is to get some faith in myself.\n8. Exercise more. I love playing sports, especially soccer. I only play two sports - soccer in the fall and track in the spring. Therefore, that leaves the whole winter open with me just doing nothing. Since I don't play a sport in the winter, I just end up sitting around and don't even exercise. I have bad asthma, so I don't like going for runs in the winter because the cold air makes my breathing even worse. My goal with this resolution is to find more motivation to go outside and exercise.\n9. Find out how to become a good cook. I don't cook much, but when I do, the food comes out terrible. I can't make buffalo chicken dip or salsa dip for my life. The cookies and brownies I make come out hard and gross. However, I would really like to learn how to cook better because I love food. My goal with this resolution is to make better food.\n10. Go on adventures this summer. This summer, I'll hopefully have my license. That means I won't be hanging around every day doing nothing because my parents and sisters are working. I'll be able to have my own rides to my friends' houses and various places. Since I'll hopefully have my license, I want to be able to drive anywhere. My goal with this resolution is to visit places I don't get to go to a lot in the summer.\n11. Journal more. I never realized the importance of journaling until about a year ago. I had an epiphany while watching The Notebook. When Allie got Alzheimer's disease, Noah read to her about their love through a notebook that he had. I got scared and thought to myself, What if I get Alzheimer's disease? Wouldn't I want to have a way to help me remember my life? That's when I got into journaling. I have always kept a journal, but I hadn't really written in it. I admit that I don't write in it as much as I would like to, but I have written a lot more. My goal with this resolution is to journal more so I can record the important things in life.\n12. Stop worrying and stressing so much. Worry and stress are my middle names. I'm constantly worrying and stressing over everything - grades, friends, me, etc. It's getting to the point where it's bad because I'm tending to lose sleep over it. Also, who wants worry lines in their forehead?! Definitely not me! My goal with this resolution is to find ways to become more relaxed.\nSo there are my resolutions. I hope that I'm able to fall through with them. Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!"}

{"text": "Tourmaline is one of October's birthstones and comes in many colors - but primarily in pink and green. It is beautiful in rings, necklaces, and pendants.\nTourmaline Jewelry\nTourmaline Pendants, Tourmaline Earrings, Tourmaline Rings and Tourmaline Bracelets through Amazon\nTourmaline.\nTourmaline and Tourmaline Mines\nby Margaret Burgon Klemp\nMy interest in the gemstone tourmaline is personal. I happen to live about 35 miles away from one of the most celebrated tourmaline mines in the world. It is located in the San Luis Rey River Valley in northern San Diego County in California. There are actually two mines there: The Tourmaline Queen mine with lodes given the names Tourmaline Queen and Tourmaline Queen No. 3. There are other smaller lodes in the Pala region, but the Queen mines are the largest and the most well known. The gem, tourmaline, is found in my own back yard.\nThe mine was discovered in 1903, and it became one of the worlds. major excavation areas for tourmaline. Then the local gem market ran into significant difficulties, and the mine became inactive until 1960 when it was purchased by Pala Properties International. Then mining operations were revived. Since the discovery of tourmaline in this region more of the high grade tourmaline has been produced there than at any other site in the whole Northern Hemisphere. Only operations in Brazil have yielded more fine tourmaline.\nThe tourmaline saga began when a gem collector took a beautiful piece of the gem to Tiffany and Company in 1876. His name was George F. Kunz, and he became one of the worlds' best known collectors of gems. He was hired by Tiffany as a consultant when he was only 20 years old. Because of his efforts the tourmaline family of gems was born. Tourmalines were his favorite gems although he collected myriads of other stones.\nIn his own narrative from Reminiscences of a Gem Collector Kunz describes his first connections with Tiffany. He explains this way:\nIn those early days,?\nSo one day, buckled in youth, I wrapped a tourmaline in a bit of gem paper, swung on a horse car, and all the way to my destination rehearsed my arguments. Arrived there, I was finally received by [Charles Tiffany].\"\nTourmalines consist of ten mineral species and only three of them are considered to be gems. They are part of a crystal system that produces long prisms of a columnar shape. They range from slender to thick densities, and appear in triangular cross-sections. Tourmaline has a three-sided prism which is unique in the world of gems. There is a large range of colors among the tourmaline family of stones. According to ancient Egyptian lore the tourmaline made a long journey from the center of the earth and on its way it passed over a rainbow and absorbed and the colors. Collectors still refer to it as the \"gemstone of the rainbow\". The colors range from red to green and blue to yellow, and very often sport multiple hues. Some colors change when exposed to artificial light. Tourmaline also has unusual electrical qualitities. It collects fine dust when it is subjected to artificial light sources. Each tourmaline has a different appearance, and consequently there is one that suits each individual buyer. For this reason the ancients claimed that it had magical powers. They said it promoted long-lasting love and friendship.\nReferences:\nKunz, G. F. 1905. Gems, jeweler's materials, and ornamental stones of California.

{"text": "I have been doodling since I was little - filling drawing books with badly drawn horses and beasts from dark worlds, and pretty good bunnies too. Drawing and painting for me now is a mental retreat. I've got it all here: ethanpatrickharris.com I'm addicted to the feeling of peace I get when everything else in my mind turns off and I am focusing on what my brain, hand and pencil are collaborating on, the image on the paper. So, I'm a bit obsessed with it all, and feel I must do something every day if possible, however small. When everything is meshing well and a work is going just the way I want it, I feel like I'm glowing. My process varies, sometimes I keep drawing until something begins to appear on the paper, and other times I have something specifically in mind that I want to create. Many of my works contain elements that have been a part of me and my artistic vision from the beginning - nature, bugs, birds, potent women, life and death. I try to let the elements tell a story, whether or not the story itself is altogether obvious, even to me. I feel like when I'm setting out on a new piece I'm letting my subconscious show my waking mind what it is that I want to do and say. I let it work through me, pencil to pulp, pen to tablet, and brush to board. I spent high school in art classes, I skipped a lot of required classes, physics, chemistry, etc., but graduated anyways because the principal thought everyone in the art dept. was wasting their time anyways and just wanted us out of his building, a real broad thinker.... Went on to some college, about 6 years of different art classes in three different schools, spent most of my student loans on tools to supply my wood shop and started building guitars, I built about 60 and sold them all, wish I had some of the real gems back though. Had to pack up the shop after I had kids and now I'm back in the 2D world, painting and drawing. I feel like I get better everyday, and that's a little scary, because it tells me that I'll never be able to stop obsessing over my art because I'm always going to want to see what I can do next... So onwards with it. Thanks for looking."}

{"text": ".”\nRe-Understanding Veganism: A Brief History\nI must acknowledge Ida Hammer for giving me the initial challenge and inspiration to reunderstand veganism as something other than the (abstention of) consumption of food [7/'08]. Of course, all this has followed from creating HEALTH at my undergraduate school [4/'05], writing my honors thesis on it [5/'07], creating this blog [9/'08], and distinguishing it from health in my Skinny Bitch post [4/'09].\nAt first, I formulated veganism as part of social justice work rather than a politics of purity (i.e. cruelty-free, body-as-a-temple), pragmatism (i.e. health, environment, animal welfare), or political protest (i.e. boycott) [12/'08]. Later, I came to stress that veganism was unique form of intersectional and interspecies social justice [9/'09] . Then, I came to appreciate a weaker moral language, and conjured up alternative ways of articulating ethical relations with animal and earth others . [6/'10]. Next, I challenged the rhetoric of reciprocity in human-animal relation literature and suggested that veganism is a modality (i.e. an affirmative, enriching, and transformative conversation) rather than a stable identity and self-certain relation to animal others [8/'10]. Finally, in my last post, \"Veganism, Love, and Forgiveness,\" I did somewhat of a phenomenology of veganism as arising out of an affirmation of love and listening (the origins, means, and ends of veganism) [10/'10].\nHope you enjoy. And please leave any comments and feedback if you are feeling generous. They are always appreciated. :)\n4 comments:\nBoth abstracts sound cool, can't wait to see the presentations in March... regarding #2, not sure if you've read him but British sociologist Matthew Cole has done some stuff on the unfortunate tendency, even (perhaps especially) within social scientific literature, to define veganism as a form of asceticism. worth a look if you're critiquing understandings of veganism that centre around self-denial or restriction.\nYour use of the word \"pragmatism\" caught my eye, since I am currently reading a book called \"Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals\" by Saul Alinsky. It's a very interesting and compelling read, but I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on it. Alinsky is \"generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing.\"\n\"Veganism is something to be understood affirmatively, as an affirmation of our own feelings and the voices of others.\"\nReplace \"veganism\" with \"love\" above. That is why I advocate affirmations of love to yourself and others. There are two kinds of love: compassion (for suffering) and loving kindness (for joy). Together they are more powerful. Compassion alone can turn into a negating asceticism that forgets the power and beauty of joy.\nThis affirmation is something active, an act of creation, not a passive act of consumption. It is not passively consuming love that nature gave us, but actively creating and being that love. Loving oneself is a choice, a refusal to deny what our soul is crying out for, a choice to listen to our own soul telling us we want to be loved, and who can we truly choose to give ourselves that love but ourselves? Did I mention it's a form of self-giving? When you listen closely to your heart's desires, make a habit of it, you give up some of the time and energy spent listening too closely to your fears.\nIf veganism be an active form of giving, rather than merely a taking (of, as you say, ends, identity, our own nourishment to the exclusion of others'), we must continually ask, \"What exactly are we giving? Where exactly are we going?\" rather than just what are we going away from (abstaining our own selves from further action through escapism... escaping from having to think further and really engage the issues at hand). What exactly are we affirming?\nOh, and I like your idea about waging conversation as opposed to ideals. What are we affirming within the realm of conversation, if love is a conversation, a listening?\nOn the matter of self-love, love is also a conversation with oneself, a give and take. \"I will give up these unrealistic expectations of myself and others in exchange for... oh, I dunno... happiness!\" I will listen to my soul and then I will speak - self's words magically align with soul's. :P\nI think \"affirmation\" itself is communication/conversation - it's saying \"I affirm you, I love you\" in exchange for our response to ourself and the universe: joy! :) That's our soul's language. :D You gotta speak within your people's language, says Alinsky.\nFeralkindling,\nThank you so much for tipping me to Matthew Cole's paper \"Asceticism and hedonism in research discourses of veg*anism\"!!! I'm definitely going to include a discussion of this and maybe Rozin's \"Moralization and Becoming a Vegetarian\". Do I know you?\nLuella,\nWow, I'm enamored by your comment! I'm intrigued by the suffering-oriented and joy-oriented love. I also like the idea of love as self-giving (giving oneself over to others but also oneself). Are you suggesting that the opposite of love is not hate, but fear? That's pretty profound.\nI also like this idea of continually questioning/thinking. It seems clear that veganism is always active as a liberation project because it is almost always a response to the everyday/mainstream, to be other-wise (really like this word). However, most political vegans frame this as a negation and battle against oppression rather than an affirmation of feeling and love(or so it seems). It is a different type of withdraw: one away from \"oppression\" and towards ideology and identity, an (dead) end.\nI don't however, agree with you that love is a choice. I don't believe humans have that much agency. Instead, I've been thinking about awareness/mindfulness of love. That people have forgotten how to love or forget that they are not loving. One does not choose to love or choose not to love, so much as one is either being-toward love or fleeing in the face of love, which goes back to how we respond to our innermost angst. We must undergo training in philosophy, in wonder and curiosity, to learn to be children again without leaving behind the transcendence from narcissism.\nVeganism as an affirmative love and not a negating and forgetting is indeed a creative activity. It is a transcendence within the flesh to feel oneself-with-others."}

{"text": "Duchess Kate, the royal family and 2,000 guests join Queen Elizabeth at a coronation service in Westminster Abbey, with St. Edward's Crown resting on the altar.\nThis year's celebration of the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's coronation began today when her family, including Duchess Kate, and 2,000 other guests joined her for a service at Westminster Abbey.\nThe young royals, the queen's grandchildren, were among those front and center, dressed for church with the elegant hats required for any important royal ritual. And it looked as if the weather were sunny for once, unlike June 2, 1953, when it rained on the day the queen was crowned in the abbey in a glittering, moving, ancient ceremony.\nPHOTOS: Watching Duchess Kate's baby bump\nBesides the queen, 87, dressed in a creamy white coatdress and hat, all cameras today were on the nearly eight months pregnant Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, 31, making her second-to-last public appearance before her baby is due in July.\nArriving flanked by her husband, Prince William, and his brother, Prince Harry, Kate wore a pale pink custom dress-and-coat by British designer Jenny Packham, topped with a delicate nude-colored hat of silk and organza disks that she wore at last year's Diamond Jubilee celebration, according to the HRHDuchessKate blog.\nPrince Philip, turning 92 next week, also was there looking hale; he had pulled out of an engagement with the queen the night before because he was ill, the palace said.\nBesides the royal family, including children, grandchildren and cousins, the guests included Prime Minister David Cameron and a host of other British great and good. There were hymns, prayers, an address by the Archbishop of Canterbury and a poem by Britain's poet laureate, Carol Ann Duffy, written especially for the service.\nOn the altar before them sat the gold, jewel-encrusted St. Edward's Crown — the first time it has left the Tower of London since the 1953 coronation.\nThe coronation anniversary will be celebrated by a four-day festival in July, around the time the duchess is due to give birth to a future monarch, third in line to the throne. It is expected to be more low key than last year's Diamond Jubilee celebration.\nThe queen came to the throne in February 1952 when her father, George VI, died, but she wasn't crowned until more than a year later, as is typical for modern monarchs. In the U.K., a coronation is as much a religious ceremony as it is civic, so a service in the abbey where most of her 39 predecessor monarchs also were crowned is the usual place where celebrations start.\nDuchess Kate's last public appearance is expected to be June 13 when she goes to Southhampton to christen a new cruise ship.\nAfter the service, Prince Harry officially unveiled a new plaque on an abbey walkway, commemorating the April 2011 wedding of his brother and the former Kate Middleton.\nJoin the Nation's Conversation\nTo find out more about Facebook commenting please read the Conversation Guidelines and FAQs"}

{"text": "1. What was your first designer piece? My very first designer piece was this Dooney and Bourke mini bag. It was purchased probably 15 years ago. I still remember the feeling of holding my very first designer bag. You can see the color is faded quite a bit.\n2. What do you consider your best investment? My love for handbags is definitely not for investment purpose. However, as a rule of thumb, a good investment is something that will pay you more than you paid for it. I have sold 3 Chanel bags from my personal collection and that was always the case. Because Chanel bags hold their value extremely well and the prices rise quite steadily, it's safe to say their classic bags are great investment in general.\n3. What is your criteria when looking to buy a piece? #1: It has to fit my lifestyle: There were times when I purchased a bag because of its popularity. I ended up selling it shortly after because it just simply did not work for me. #2: Versatility: You'd never find myself buying 2 of the same bag. They're just too dang expensive to have 2 of the same thing. My goal is to gradually build up a collection that has a variety of versatile handbags.\n4. What has been your stupidest/most regrettable purchase? I wouldn't call it a stupid/regrettable purchase but I wish I took more time to think about purchasing my Prada double bag. I had it for only a short period of time and did take a cut selling it.\n5. If you have sold any of your luxury goods, have you ever had sellers regret? I don't have any selling regrets but occasionally, I do miss my Chanel coco handle.6. What is a piece that you think everyone needs/should have? Let's be honest, no one would need or should have a designer piece. However, if you were going to get one piece from Chanel, I would wholeheartedly recommend the wallet on chain. It's a multi-functional bag and will remain a classic for years to come.\n7. What is a piece that you think is over-hyped? The Chloe Drew (as seen on every fashion blogger).8. What is next on your wish list? A Saint Laurent bag! I haven't decided on which one yet but I am narrowing the list down. I hope to be able purchase my very first Saint Laurent bag early next year.\nThis was an interesting tag to read, as a fellow bag lover! :) While I only have one Chanel bag and it's vintage I'd love to be able to splurge on a new one from the boutique one day! :)\nAway From The Blue Blog\nSuper-Duper site! I am Loving it!! Will come back again, Im taking your feed also, Thanks.\nKenzo Jumper"}

{"text": "Ahead of a volatile market in the wake of the Fed rate hike, the stock market stood significantly flat in the recent session due to fluctuations on major indices between positive and negative territory.\nHowever, some companies have managed to stay on the green such as Advanced Micro Devices, Snap Inc. and NVIDIA, which posted sharp gains amid session.\nShares of NVIDIA rose over 3% after Goldman Sachs analyst Toshiya Hari reaffirmed the chip maker’s rating on the company’s “Conviction Buy” list with a price target of $130.\nIt seemed that Hari’s reiteration does not imply for a solid positive view on NVIDIA, rather he has expressed his admiration on the importance of the chip maker’s learning models and customer support after his recent participation in NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Center event in London.\nSubsequently, he’s certain of the company’s proposed strategic investment plans in automotive, data center, and enterprise markets that will boost progressive results as to its successful core gaming segment.\nGiven that shares have tripled over the past year, Hari still believes that NVIDIA stocks have plenty of opportunities to compete well.\nNVIDIA Partners with Mercedes-Benz\nThe undisputed leader has been recently focused on improving its self-driving cars and aims at turning the segment into a multi-billion dollar business.\nMeanwhile, the analysts have anticipated a 134% NVIDIA growth (2015-2020) for self-driving cars with the company’s latest earnings call that involves significant segments after revenue grew up by 38% on a year-over-year basis with a record of $128 million.\nFurther, NVIDIA also announced their partnership with Mercedes-Benz and work together on a car that will be available by the year ending, followed by Tesla’s new autopilot system that is powered by the NVIDIA DRIVE PX 2 platform on the electric car maker’s Model S and Model X.\nHearing this, the headlines have garnered a lot of clicks and ad revenue, but still the company declined to comment on what is the real score. However, the stock is pretty much giving a lift as it made real waves this week.\nThe chart below illustrates the NVIDIA Corp. stock movement after several analysts have considered to closely watch the chip maker’s sharp gains. The stock is currently trading at 109.40 in a light trading volume of 129, near support 104.85.\nHence, given a bullish tone on the company’s stock, the RSI suggests that the overbought level hasn’t been reached. It could signal that the stock could further rally unless it would test its nearest support level.\nConclusion\nAs NVIDIA continues to empower the market with its self-driving cars and its announced partnership with the leading automakers, Tier 1 suppliers, we remain positive on the chip maker as the transportation industry is vastly moving into autonomous vehicles.\nFSM News provides accurate information about stocks, commodities, indices and the world market.

{"text": "by Isaac Cass on Sat, Mar. 31, 2012 at 4:17 PM / Updated Sat, Mar. 31, 2012 at 7:42 PM\nIsaac Cass\n* Follow Section 1 boys lacrosse on Twitter @MSGV_Icass *\nCHECK BACK soon for a photo gallery.\nYORKTOWN N.Y. — Yorktown's Frankie Fusco marched onto Charlie Murphy Field carrying a large white flag prior to the start of Saturday's showdown against rival John Jay-Cross River.\nA green shamrock took up most of the flag's surface area, with the initials of Yorktown lacrosse founder Charlie Murphy emblazoned inside. Beneath that the word “family” was printed in big, bold letters.\n“My brother (sophomore long-stick defenseman Austin Fusco) likes to read about all the past guys,” Fusco said. “He read about Brian Carcaterra (Class of 1995) carrying out a Grateful Dead flag before every game. He brought up the idea to make a flag and carry out.”\nIt was the revival of an old tradition and a tip of the hat to all those teams that came before them. The Huskers then took to the field and practiced the program's other time-honored tradition: winning.\nYorktown (1-0) outscored John Jay-CR 5-2 in the second half to secure a hard-fought 8-6 season-opening victory. The Huskers have now won three straight in the rivalry and five of the past six. John Jay-CR's last victory came back in 2010.\nSenior attackmen Conor Gately and Fusco paced Yorktown's offense with three goals apiece. Brian Prestreau and middie Joey Raniolo each added a goal to round out the scoring. Brian Quigley also notched an assist. Goalie Zach Reilly preserved the win with five saves.\n“We have been pumped since day one and have been ready,” Fusco said. “We circled this game.”\nFusco made sure Yorktown pulled it out, scoring his third goal to break a 6-6 tie with 10:12 left in the fourth quarter. He finished it after scooping up a rebound off his initial shot. Per usual, Gately put the wheels in motion with a pretty backside look.\n“The (John Jay-CR defender) had a great stick on it and knocked it down,” Fusco said. “I had to keep my head down, pick up the ball and try to finish around the goal.”\nRaniolo added an insurance goal with 3:22 left in regulation. Gately scored two of his goals during the second-half surge and Prestreau notched one.\nWhile Yorktown's offense came alive in the second half, it was the polar opposite during the first two quarters. John Jay-CR (1-1) — running head coach Tim Schurr's patented zone defense — stymied and frustrated the Huskers' potent attack at every turn. Stranded out on the perimeter, Yorktown was reduced to a handful of low-percentage shots.\n“We knew (John Jay-CR) had a very good defense,” said Gately, who will play at Marquette next season. “We were flat-footed and everyone was trying to do their own thing. After a couple of timeouts we were frustrated and we realized we had to move our feet, cut and things would click.”\nBoth of Yorktown's first-quarter goals — scored by Fusco and Gately a mere 14 seconds apart — came on unsettled situations off costly John Jay-CR turnovers.\n“It's tough to win when you give a high-powered team opportunities like that,” Indians coach Tim Schurr said.\nTom Beck and Shawn Smith tallied two goals apiece to pace John Jay-CR's offense. Teammates Doug Brown (1G), Dan Lobosco (1G), Matt Ferentini (2A) and Brandon Lew (1A) rounded out the offensive production.\nBeck and Lobosco scored back-to-back goals inside the first three minutes of the third quarter to stretch John Jay-CR's lead to 6-4. Smith notched both his goals in the first quarter as the teams played to a 2-2 draw. Beck and Brown cashed in on second-quarter goals to help John Jay-CR take a narrow 4-3 lead into the half.\nIndians goalie Thomas Branca was tremendous with 12 saves, including at least five from right in on the doorstep.\n“We ask our goalies to make all the saves they are supposed to make and one or two extra,” Schurr said. “Today, I think (Branca) made all the saves he was supposed to make plus five or six extra. He definitely kept us in the game and this is the best I've ever seen him play.”\nDespite the eventual outcome, Schurr was pleased with his team's performance. Most figured the game would be much more lopsided.\n“I was proud of them,” the coach said. “I think they played very hard from start to finish and that's what we strive to do. I have no complaints. We have to clean up things with the turnovers once we get the ball down to offense. Some of the things we are doing are pretty poor and make it easy on a good team.You can't succeed when you give them too many opportunities.”\nYorktown's second-half opportunities were also the result of Danny Manning's hard work at the dot. The junior faceoff specialist was instrumental in helping the Huskers win six of the nine second-half draws.\n“He's a fantastic faceoff guy,” Gately said of Manning. “I mean, 90 percent of the time we trust him to get the ball. In games like this, faceoffs are huge and it showed.”\nThe Huskers will look to make it two in a row as they travel to Putnam Valley for their next game on April 3. John Jay-CR squares off against host Suffern (2-0) in its next game on April 5.\nGAME NOTES: Yorktown sported new jerseys for the first time since 1984. According to Frankie Fusco, the Nike uniforms were supplied by an anonymous donor and arrived on Friday. The Huskers will still wear their old green jerseys on the road.\nBOX SCORE\nJohn Jay-CR 2 2 2 0 6\nYorktown 2 1 3 2 8\nSCORING SUMMARY\nFirst quarter\n(9:08) Shawn Smith unassisted \| 1-0 JJ\n(4:59) Conor Gately unassisted \| 1-1\n(4:45) Frankie Fusco unassisted \| 2-1 YT\n(2:46) Smith from Matt Ferentini \| 2-2\nSecond quarter\n(10:32) Fusco unassisted \| 3-2 YT\n(7:21) Doug Brown unassisted \| 3-3\n(3:24) Tommy Beck from Ferentini \| 4-3 JJ\nThird quarter\n(11:13) Gately unassisted \| 4-4\n(10:51) Beck unassisted \| 5-4 JJ\n(9:20) Dan Lobosco from Brandon Lew \| 5-4 JJ\n(7:18) Brian Prestreau unassisted \| 6-5 JJ\n(5:00) Gately unassisted \| 6-6\nFourth quarter\n(10:12) Fusco unassisted \| 7-6 YT\n(3:22) Joey Raniolo from Brian Quigley \| 8-6 YT\nFACEOFFS\n1Q: 3-2 YT / 2Q: 3-1 JJ / 3Q: 4-2 YT / 4Q: 2-1 YT\nTotals: Yorktown (10/18) \| John Jay-CR (8/18)\nGROUND BALLS\nJohn Jay-CR (18): Jack Lambert (4), Mike Skluth (4), Danny Caiola (2), Doug Brown (2), Matt Lanza (1), Brani Begonja (1), Matt Ferentini (1), Tom Beck (1), Steven Cola (1), Shawn Smith (1)\nYorktown (20): Danny Manning (5), Austin Fusco (4), Frank Fusco (3), Brian Quigley (2), Brian Prestreau (2), Joey Raniolo (1), Jack Phelan (1), Conor Gately (1), Nick Mariano (1).1094 seconds on server 132"}
{"text": "In 1757, three joint owners of a tract purchased from the West Jersey Land Society began laying out streets and building lots at Calvin’s Ferry. The developing town was to be called “Alexandria” in honor of William Alexander, one of the three owners. In 1776, the three sold the settlement to Thomas Lowrey, a Flemington speculator.\nIn 1794, Lowrey sold the tract to Paul Henri Mallet-Prevost, a Swiss fugitive from the French Revolution. He and other early settlers were French speaking, leading some to begin calling the place “Frenchtown.”\nEarlier, the town bore the names of the many ferry operators residing on both sides of the river. The official name has been Alexandria Ville and Sunbeam as well as Frenchtown.\nThe Borough was formed by an Act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 4, 1867, from portions of Alexandria Township. Additional territory was gained from Kingwood Township in 1865.\nThe first bridge across the Delaware at Frenchtown was a six-span, covered wooden bridge built in 1841 on the five piers that still stand today, and the community became a gateway to Pennsylvania.\nThe arrival of the Belvidere Delaware Railroad in 1853 sparked continued growth in Frenchtown,.\nThank you to David Miller for providing these wonderful photos.

The exact process however varies on a case by case basis and is dependent on the current status of their application. They should contact the UCFB Admissions Team, by email at admissions@ucfb.com, who can give initial advice on this. They should also speak to UCAS on 0871 468 0 468 who can advise on the process of changing their details through them.\nAny applicant who does not meet their offer conditions when results are released will be considered very carefully on a case by case basis. If an applicant has missed the offer conditions by a small number of points and has otherwise shown good potential then we may still accept them.\nUCFB will only accept students who have demonstrated that they have the academic ability to succeed on their course and if we do not believe that an applicant will get the full benefit of our degree programmes then unfortunately we have to decline them. In these cases we advise that they reapply to us after further study and preparation.\nIn the majority of cases applicants will be assessed without the need for an interview based on their qualifications and application.

We would generally ask for this in cases where an applicant does not clearly meet our entry requirements but has otherwise shown potential to succeed on the programme.\nThe contract between you and UCFB will commence from the date on which you accept your offer. You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason, although in order to assist the institution with future planning we may ask why you chose to end the contract.\nThe cancellation period and your right to cancel the contract without liability will expire after 14 days from the day that you accept your offer.\nTo exercise your right to cancel, you must inform Admissions, of your decision to cancel the contract by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by post or email), including your name, address and the programme for which you accepted an offer.

Although most students will accumulate debt during the course of their degree, we advise that all students follow a budget to help keep track of spending.\nPlease visit our scholarship or bursary page to see more information on our scholarship or bursary schemes. Each application is individually assessed against the selection criteria for a scholarship or bursary and will be decided on a case by case basis.\nPlease email scholarships@ucfb.com for an application form.\nApplicants who apply late for Student Finance are not guaranteed to receive funding in time for their course. Applicants will still receive the same level of funding but this may be received after registration.\nIt can take 8-10 weeks for an application form to be assessed, and applicants should apply for funding as early as possible to avoid any delays in receiving funding. Application forms are available from February/March but applicants have nine months from September 1st at the start of the new academic year to submit an application for funding.\nStudent Finance need as much detail as possible in order to assist with the means testing for each household, which ensures that each student receives a fair level of finance.\nIf the partner is part of the household then their income will be included in the financial assessment, for the previous year.\nStudent Finance will always assess a student’s circumstances based on the total gross household income from the previous tax year.\nYes, if there is a drop of 15% in the household income you can ask for a current year income assessment. For more information please click here to visit the relevant section on the .gov.uk website.\nThe loan is paid directly to you. You can use it for your programme fees and living costs. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) may take account of the loan when working out any benefits you receive. The amount you’ll get depends on when you started your course. It isn’t based on you or your family’s income.\nIf your programme starts on or after 1st August 2020, you can get up to £11,222.00 maintenance loan only for a year. Part-time and online programmes spread the cost over the length of the course.\nYou get the first payment after your programme start date, once your university or college confirms that you have registered. It will be paid in instalments throughout the year.\nRepayments on Master's loans depend wholly on the amount you earn and if you earn under £21,000 you’ll never repay a penny. All repayments are taken directly from your salary by HMRC meaning you’ll never need to worry about making or missing a payment. If you earn over £21,000 per year and your income changes to below £21,000, repayments will automatically stop. You will repay 6% of any amount over £21,000. For example:\nIf I earn £22,000 a year, how much will I repay? £22,000 is £1,000 above the threshold meaning you will repay 6% of £1,000. This equates to £60 a year or £5 a month.\nIf I earn £31,000 a year, how much will I repay? £31,000 is £10,000 above the threshold meaning you will repay 6% of £10,000. This equates to £600 a year or £50 per month.\nIf I earn £40,000 per year, how much will I repay? £40,000 is £19,000 above the threshold meaning you will pay 6% of £19,000. This equates to £1,140 per year or £95.00 per month.\nNo. After 30 years any amount you currently owe is wiped out, so if for 30 years you earn £21,000 a year, you won’t have repaid a penny and your debt will be clear. The reality is only those on high incomes will ever repay their loans in full. It’s important to note that not repaying much because you’re just over the threshold isn’t a bad thing. These loans are designed as more of a graduate tax rather than a loan.\nThe interest rate is set at the rate of inflation (RPI) plus 3%. The interest rates are as follows:\n- While studying – Your loan accrues inflation plus 3% of the outstanding balance. This continues until the first April after graduation;\n- After studying and earning under £21,000 – Your loan accrues inflation only;\n- After studying and earning between £21,000 & £41,000 – The interest rate will gradually rise from RPI to RPI plus 3%. The interest rate rises at 0.00015% per every pound earnt. Or to put it another way, if you earn £1,000 more, you accrue 0.15% interest;\n- After studying & earning over £41,000 – Your loan accrues the full RPI inflation plus 3%.\nPlease note that all the above scenarios assume that inflation is positive (prices rising). It’s not yet known what would happen in a period of deflation.\nTo make sure the loan is in place for your first semester in September, students need to apply as soon as the forms are available in May/June.\nYes. In the early days of student loans, the government consulted on penalties to stop people repaying early and avoiding interest – thankfully the mass of feedback they received was against the idea and it was scrapped.\nThis is a service offered at UCFB to ensure that students who require additional support for a disability, long-term medical condition, specific learning difficulty or mental health need receive help to apply for and access their entitlement for support, and any reasonable adjustments available throughout their studies.\nStudents with a Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) entitlement will have a recommended package of support with a chosen provider. Our experienced Learning Support Advisors offer guidance for students at every stage, from application to implementation, including helping the student to organise and access any assistive technology training or support that they have been awarded. For formal Learning Support, evidence of a disability or long-term medical condition must be provided, however we can advise students on informal support available through our internal services, and recommend external services where required.\nEach campus has dedicated Learning Support Advisors within the Student Services Pastoral Team and they are based within the Student Services areas. They can be contacted directly at learningsupport@ucfb.com for any advice, guidance or support.\nApplicants need to declare any needs on their UCAS application.\nWe encourage applicants to complete the DSA applications immediately after their Student Finance forms have been submitted. You can find the forms here.\nThe Learning Support Team at UCFB advise students around the type of evidence that may be required when submitting an application for support, and can discuss the process of being formally assessed for support if that is also necessary. If support is going to be required for September, an early application for DSA is recommended.\nOnce the DSA application has been accepted, the assessment process takes approximately 10-12 weeks. Early applications are advised.\nThe wellbeing of our students is very important to us, and the Student Services Pastoral Team work with students on a one-to-one basis to ensure that the support package that they receive meets their individual needs.

{"text": "09 December 2019 by Anthony Hilton\nA new study says that the superior financial performance of companies comes from employee engagement\nEmployees connect with other employees on a regular basis, they take direction from management, and they support colleagues to achieve work goals. But in addition the best of them make a contribution to the broader purpose of the organisation and are rewarded with salary and the opportunity to progress. It is the quality of this overall experience that Willis Towers Watson (WTW) sought to measure.\nWTW has surveyed 500 companies with nearly 10 million employees. From this group of 500, WTW defines a smaller set of high performance companies - where for one and three years they measure return on assets, revenue growth, net profit margin and several other things. In addition, companies have to have a relatively strong culture but here many find it hard to do both. Indeed only about 30 of the 500 companies make it to the elite group.\nIn measuring financial performance WTW created a 34 point survey which tracked the scores of 120 out of the 500 companies, analysing the performance of each.\nReturn on equity showed laggards were six percentage points below the average whereas the elite were 3 percentage points above the benchmark. Over the one year, gross profit margins among the poorer companies were 10 points below the benchmark, whereas the elite were three above it. The three year revenue growth of the poorer companies were one percentage point below, while the strong were four above the index.\nSo what is the result in stock market terms? Well the Dow Jones and the S&P turned $1000 into roughly $3000 over 15 years from 2002 to 2017 with all income re-invested. The high performance companies, again with all income re-invested, turned $1000 into $9000, a hugely better performance.\n“This confirmation that employee engagement sits at the heart of delivering long term exceptional experience and superior financial performance has profound implications for human capital strategy,” says WTW’s Stephen Young.\nMost companies think they motivate their employees to some extent, but the fact is that there is little differentiation in what is done. As far as their employees are concerned all companies provide the basics of setting clear goals, organising work efficiently, compensation and local manager support and supervision. The fact is however that these are workplace essentials. They do not give the employee the hallmarks of excellence which include:\nfeeling inspired by the company’s mission and purpose being able to achieve one’s potential and career aspirations having a deep sense of trust in senior leadershiphaving a sense of drive through strong customer focus and innovation, and agility in meeting marketplace demands.\nYoung explains: “The most significant change comes through a transformation of leadership mindset- inspiring your organisation around your purpose; driving agility and innovation to be ahead of the market; helping your people achieve their potential; and building a culture of leadership trust”.\nBut he then warns: “The fact that so few organisations do this well suggests it is hard. But it is the ultimate magic key to unlocking high performance”.\nSo, says WTW, what are the practical implications?\nEX (as it calls employee engagement) is a business issue and needs to be managed and that makes it a leadership responsibility\nEX should be the guiding construct for human capital and no significant change should be made without considering the impact on the employee experience\nEX can be assessed and this allows companies to look at themselves and establish priorities for change workplace essentials are not enough - doing the basics are just the table stakes freeing the spirit of employees is key because this allows them to have a voice, to bring their full selves to work, to build their capabilities and to work across boundaries.\nEven though they accept the WTW analysis in theory, most leaders do not do it in practice. Some are taught in business schools where it is all about financial results which can be measured. Others believe in command and control. A third are so bogged down with detail that they do not think where the company is going in the longer term and a fourth only want their bonus; only a handful of chief executives are truly collaborative.\nAs they say, companies find it hard. But at least WTW’s analysis is something to aspire to."}
