The apartment is spacious (three rooms, two bedrooms, one with bunk beds), centrally located for excursions in the Centre. The landlord is nice and helpful. The amenities at the apartment are sufficient, though it is new from here and there. In any case suitable for a nice holiday
Het appartement is ruim (drie kamers, twee slaapkamers waarvan 1 met stapelbed), centraal gelegen voor uitstapjes in het centrum. De huisbaas is aardig en behulpzaam. De faciliteiten in het appartement zijn voldoende, al is het nieuwe er hier en daar vanaf. In ieder geval geschikt voor een leuke vakantie
The apartment was no longer the Internet publish images, mirrors were partly not available broken cabinets, socket covers (kitchen) or broken down, brökelte the color of the wall in the bathroom. The kitchen was very lean. In the rooms on the street you can't sleep... with an open window, because ...it is especially in the morning too loud. The owner was very nice and has provided us with even a fruit basket in the apartment and gave us a nice introduction to the city.
Die Wohnung entsprach nicht mehr den im Internet veröffentlichen Bildern, Spiegel an Schränken waren gebrochen, Steckdosenabdeckungen (Küche) teilweise nicht vorhanden bzw. kaputt, im Bad brökelte die Farbe von der Wand. Die Küchenausstattung war sehr mager. Im Schlafzimmer zur Straße kann man... nicht mit offenem Fenster schlafen, da es besonders morgens zu laut ist. Der Vermieter war sehr nett und hat uns sogar einen Obstkorb in die Wohnung gestellt und uns eine nette Einführung in die Stadt gegeben.
Excellent stay. S very well welcomed us and conseillle. The apartment is very well located with all services nearby (shops, transport, restaurants, centre of Rome very close...). For families, it lacks a cot and a baby Chair. Finally, the standing of... the apartment is good but it would need some ...repairs.We recommend this rental which is offered at a very attractive price.Nicolas Grospelier
Excellent séjour. S nous a très bien accueilli et conseilllé. L'appartement est très bien situé avec tous les services à proximité (commerces, transport, restaurants, centre de Rome très proche....). Pour les familles, il manque un lit et une chaise bébé. Enfin, le standing de ...l'appartement est bon mais ce dernier aurait besoin de quelques réparations.Nous vous recommandons cette location qui est proposée à un prix très attractif.Nicolas Grospelier
The accommodation was really good and S was even better. He welcomed us with a basket of fruit and gave us all useful info needed for a wonderful stay (map, major attractions, means of transport e.t.c). You can reach the city center on foot (20-25 min), however, the apartment is very well connected ...either by metro or bus. I would definitely recommend S's apartment! it's real value for money.
S (the owner) is a great guy who provided excellent knowledge about trains and buses and also booked pickups etc. which all went smooth. Supermarket and bakery etc. are all close and you will not go hungry. Apartment was clean and tidy. We also appreciated the fruit platter s left for us.
Only ...challenges are the 100 steps to the apartment on the 4th floor and the noise level of the main road and neighbourhood which made it hard to sleep sometimes.
One day the lady downstairs gave us a real earful about noise (my Italian was not good enough to get the full version but we got the gist of things) although we tried to be very quiet as this is a multilevel house.
All in all we enjoyed our stay - thanks S!

Happy Halloween! Every year I make little gifts for my kids Teachers, this year, little paper covered bottles that used to hold my prima flowers!
Loved this cute Halloween paper. It had lots of colors to it so I did not have to worry so much about my photos "matching" the paper. I just cut it up a little added a little ribbon and was done. Super fast, super cute.

Traction’s CEO to speak at Advertising Week
Next week, Traction CEO Adam Kleinberg will be speaking on a panel at Advertising Week in New York. Alongside colleagues Shonan Reed (digital president of MEC), Sal Candela (VP of Global Partnerships at Undertone), Scott Marsden (Head of Global Partnerships at Spotify), and Erin Rech (SVP of Digital Innovation & Investment at UM), Adam will dive into “Why Creativity Matters in the Age of Data.” In recent years, the industry has been laser-focused on data – and with good reason. The influx of third-party data has made targeting digital advertising more accurate and effective than ever before. However, creative execution still matters. Creativity encompasses every aspect of brand communications and is an essential asset for business growth. This session will explore the ever-increasing impact of creativity in today’s digital advertising climate, and why the balance of data and creative is critical in persuading audiences to take action.

I have been asked to make this exploding box with a wedding card inside for a friend.
I have used the colour scheme of the wedding. I made the box using the measurements that you will find in the tutorials on my blog. I used navy card on the inside of my box and navy and white patterned paper on the outside of my box.
I printed personalised details including names, date and venue.
I printed the details and die cut them with dies from a set from The Works. I used the next size in the nesting set and navy card to cut elements so I could mount the white card with details.
I added these to each side of the box.
I made the 3D cake using circles and strips of white card.
I added satin ribbon and lace trim around the cake and added small paper flowers on the cake and on to each side of the box. I die cut a scalloped circle with a Xcut die and attached that to the centre of my box and then added the cake. I completed my box with flat backed pearls
I would like to enter this creation into the following challenges:

The 2012 postseason has been a memorable one thus far. With all four division series going to five games, the competition seems more evenly matched than that of previous years.
With the games so close and all the series so competitive, there’s little doubt that the final regular season standings gave us all the playoff-worthy teams.
The Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A’s had outstanding seasons that exceeded expectations, but both made early exits in the ALDS.
Detroit sneaked into the playoffs and has been a force ever since, knocking off a resilient and chemistry-infused A’s squad.
The St. Louis Cardinals have been a huge surprise knocking off very good Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals teams. Their four run ninth inning in game five of the NLDS was one of the highlights of this postseason.
After getting routed in games one and two, the San Francisco Giants dug up enough momentum to win games three though five and take this series.
For the teams on the outside looking in, the playoff excitement is simply disappointment.
"It hurts," said Chicago White Sox’s Adam Dunn. "It stinks, but we have to look in the mirror and realize we did it to ourselves."
Here are three teams that should have made the playoffs in 2012.

Submit Your Research:
Consumer Psychology for the Greater Good
Every day, consumers make a myriad of decisions that have the ability to affect the greater good, which we define as the collective well-being of the broader social group. Such decisions range from deciding whether or not to speak up in the face of unfair practices to accurately reporting one’s financial information on their taxes to understanding and empowering vulnerable consumers.
Given their broad communal consequences, such decisions are of great interest to a variety of constituencies, including policy makers, non-profits, communities, and marketers, as well as individuals. Accordingly, theory driven inquiry into the antecedents and consequences of consumer behaviors that serve the greater good offers great theoretical and practical value.
Consumer psychology over the past decades has made substantive contributions to the understanding of consumer behavior; however, research truly motivated by impacting greater good has remained limited. To address this, this special issue of the Journal of Consumer Psychology is dedicated to publishing such findings. The research could propose novel theories of how to promote greater good, question whether outcomes stereotypically thought of as generating greater good indeed serve the greater good, or even propose downstream problems that a quest for greater good might create. Applications of existing consumer decision making theories to promote the greater good are welcome, but only as long as a greater good problem is central to the paper and the application is consequential.
We encourage all interested researchers examining relevant topics to submit their work. The full Call for Papers is linked below.
Researchers are welcome to contact one of the editors if they are considering submitting research that addresses the greater good in a way that is non-standard (e.g., a unique approach to servicing the greater good, outside of the realm of those mentioned in the Call for Papers), or if their research is outside of the realm of consumer behavior and they would like to gauge the appropriateness of their work for this special issue. For those whose research clearly services the greater good (as outlined in the Call for Papers) and whose work fits within the realm of consumer behavior, contacting the editors is not necessary. We suggest that such authors carefully read the call for papers and gauge the appropriateness of their work for the special issue prior to submission. Inquiries to the editors asking for their informal opinion on brief abstracts will not inform the outcome of the review process.
The deadline for initial manuscripts is August 1, 2019.

[REBOL] Imbedding rebol code in a dialect
From: tim::johnsons-web::com at: 24-Sep-2002 16:44
<wink>I'm feeling guilty about buggin Andrew at home</wink>,
so am baring my ignorance of dialecting to the whole world here..
I am working with Andrew's 'ML dialect, and have the following
code segment which extracts data from a cgi post, and saves it
in hidden fields. Code below:
print ml compose/deep[
form/action/method (cgl[get path thru "process"]) "POST"[
foreach field required-fields[
value: cgl[get value field]
ml[input/type/name/value "hidden" (field) (value)]
] ;end 'ML
; Where 'required-fields is a block of values, matches are found on
; all values, but only the last match is being shown in the
; resulting hidden field
required-fields: ["First Name" "Last Name" "Street Address" "State/Province" "Country"
"Login" "Subscription Type" "City" "Zip/Postal Code"]
My guess is that I am not using 'compose correctly or my parenthesis are
incorrectly placed. Any other ideas?

Richmond Park is an active Conservative Association which holds regular political and social events. We support our locally elected Conservative Councillors on both Richmond and Kingston Council, as well as our Greater London Assembly Member Tony Arbour, and our London MEPs.
The constituency stretches from Barnes, Kew and Richmond upon Thames to the four wards of Kingston upon Thames north of the railway. It was created in 1997 and was held by the Liberal Democrats until 2010, when it was won by Zac Goldsmith. Seeking re-election in 2015, Zac Goldsmith significantly increased his majority, achieving the biggest gain anywhere on the night.
Prior to first being elected, Zac Goldsmith made a pledge that he would force a by-election in the constituency if a Conservative Government ever gave a Green Light to expansion at Heathrow. When the Government announced plans for a Third Runway in October 2016, he felt duty-bound to honour that pledge, and he stood as an Independent during the ensuing by-election (the Conservatives did not a field a candidate).
In the absence of a Green candidate, and with the Labour Party in disarray, the Liberal Democrats took the seat with a smaller majority, capitalising on the strong Remain sentiment within the Constituency.
The Association is in the process of selecting a new parliamentary candidate, who will be chosen by the membership. You can find about more about this, and our other activities, by visiting www.rpnk.co.uk.

Huawei took the stage yesterday to announce its flagship Honor 6 handset, previously codenamed "Mulan," but there hasn't been an official presser yet, or even design renders. Leave it to the vast swaths of the Chinese blogosphere to get their mitts on the handset, and preview it for the world to see. Huawei hasn't pulled all the stops with the handset, as it doesn't sport the fashionable Quad HD display resolution, but, frankly, we are perfectly fine with the phone's 5" 1080p display pixel density. Huawei has managed to shrink the side bezels to 2.36mm, crafting a compact chassis with 139.8 x 68.8 mm dimensions, and 7.5mm thickness. The screen-to-body ratio is very good at 75.7%, which bodes well for the phone's one-hand usage ergonomics.
The svelte thing about the Huawei Honor 6 is that it sports sturdy aluminum frame, which facilitates heat dissipation - an important feat, considering that Huawei equips the handset with its brand new octa-core Kirin 920 processor that comes with four powerful Cortex-A15 cores, paired with four Cortex-A7 ones, and and embeds a fast Mali-T628 GPU. The chipset also has integrated LTE modem, and theoretically supports up to 300 Mbps download speeds, if your carrier provides those, of course. These specs put Kirin 920 on equal footing with the upcoming Snapdragon 805, and Huawei's boss actually bragged that the company's homegrown processor is even more powerful than Qualcomm's creation, but we'll see about that. Furthermore, the Honor 6 sports 3 GB of RAM, 16/32 GB of storage, expandable via a microSD card, and a 13 MP camera on the back, plus a 5 MP front-facing shooter. The camera module is actually the newest Sony BSI IMX214 sensor, like the one in Oppo Find 7, or the OnePlus One handsets.
Huawei's new flagship will arrive with Android 4.4.2 KitKat, coated with Huawei’s own Emotion UI 2.3 overlay. As you can see from the design pics below, it is a dual SIM device, and the battery capacity is pegged at 3100 mAh, which, with these specs, should bode well for the phone's endurance. The Honor 6 is officially priced at $359.99 without a contract at Huawei's online store, while the 32 GB version goes for $409.99. Huawei pegs the release date for July, so not much left to wait, until you can place your hands on one of the best value-for-money propositions in the industry at the moment.

Experience the healing power of hammering, torching, and redesigning your once-precious gold and diamond wedding rings. Our re-design class guides you step by step through the process of cutting, altering, deconstructing, melting, deforming or otherwise manipulating your old jewelry into a beautiful new design of your choice. Feel confident in knowing that we'll effectively reduce your old pieces into the most basic of their elements -- gold, diamonds, and gems.
Throughout the course of a day (or two, depending on the demands of your existing jewelry and your vision), you'll work hand in hand with one of our talented master metalsmith-designers. We'll help you from the design stage through to the final polish, and ensure that you leave with a refreshing, beautiful design that makes you feel invigorated, beautiful, and excited to wear your jewelry again.
The physical experience of re-creating such emotion-laden pieces with your own two hands is powerful -- some have called it healing or therapeutic -- and we love seeing the joy and revitalization that our clients get from these one of a kind experiences.
(Read: fire, melting, and beating the crap out of your old gold. Want to pretend it's your ex's face, or lawyer? Go for it -- We're not here to judge.)
We offer two workshop variations in order to accommodate all of our clients, regardless of the style of their existing rings. Each of these courses comes with an initial free consultation, during which we'll take a look at your existing pieces and discuss options as well as what class is a best fit for you. Once we've decided on a course and have a general idea of design, we'll choose a date!
Fabrication Course (one day):
This course is perfect for the client with with mostly metal parts to work with. This is typically a completely metal wedding band (or bands) and largely metal engagement ring (solitaires, three stone rings, but not micro-pave designs, or pieces covered in lots of tiny diamonds).
Clients will primarily utilize foundation fabrication methods (cutting, bending, hammering, texturing, soldering, etc) to turn their existing jewelry into a new pendant, pair of earrings, or ring(s). Most students will create a single piece of jewelry during this course, although some may be able to create two depending on the complexity of their chosen designs and starting material. In either case, it is not uncommon that a client have a small amount of left over gold they can utilize for future custom design projects.
Designs in our one-day course are perfect for the minimalist, as they tend to champion simplicity, clean lines, and have an easy-to-wear-everyday aesthetic. Designs will be discussed and finalized on a case-by-case basis, and we'll work with you one on one to develop a design that you love, and will love to wear.
The one day course is available for designs in yellow gold, white gold, and sometimes for palladium or platinum (see note below).
This class is approximately 8 hours long.
Casting Course (two days):
This course is for those who have rings with lots of diamonds, gemstones, intricate design work or patterning, or designs with two or more different metals. With these designs, we'll typically need to melt down your old metal in order to create a new design.
Instead of working in metal, you'll work in wax! On day one, you'll carve, file, and manipulate your master design, which will then be used to create a one-time-use mold that we heat in a kiln overnight. On day two, we'll melt your old metal into a pretty little puddle, and sling it into the mold we've created from your carving. Once your piece is metal, we'll spend the rest of the day cleaning it up and making it pretty.
This class is approximately 8 hours long each day.
*your rings will need to be sent in ahead of time so that our jewelers can remove your stones ahead of class time. It's a tedious process, and must be done by professionals, so we'd rather not waste precious class time having you watch us do this part. Not to worry -- you'll get all your stones back the first day of class!
BOOKING YOUR DIVORCE JEWELRY REDESIGN CLASS:
We recommend calling us for a free consultation to discuss the details of your existing jewelry and your project before purchasing.

Inbox: What will Tampa Bay's roster look like in 2013?
Rays beat reporter Bill Chastain answers fans' questions
Most of this year's bullpen depended on blowing away the other team's hitters, except for when Joel Peralta was in there. He's cagey and competes, and once again he proved to be a solid performer. I really liked having Peralta to come in and [pitch] the eighth inning this season. I know he is a free agent, but what do you think the chances of him coming back for next season are? Does he even want to come back?
-- Joe P., Tampa
I talked to Peralta on the final day of the season, and the Dominican Republic native definitely would like to return, which he made emphatically clear in his comments. He even said he would deal with the Rays first and exclusively, because he wants to remain in Tampa. Whether he returns could come down to whether Peralta gets a two-year offer from another team.
Peralta clearly understands what his value is from a financial point of view. If the Rays do manage to bring him back, I would expect him to once again be a pitcher who can be counted on during late-inning situations when the game heats up.
Do you think Ben Zobrist will be the team's shortstop in 2013? I thought he played really well once he moved over there this season. And by moving him over there, it allowed Joe Maddon to get another hitter in the lineup. I'm all for him being the Opening Day shortstop.
-- Nick L., Bradenton, Fla.
Have a question about the Rays?
E-mail your query to MLB.com Rays beat reporter Bill Chastain for possible inclusion in a future Inbox column. Letters may be edited for brevity, length and/or content.
I agree with you, having Zobrist at shortstop proved to be a good move on several fronts. First, having him there helped the offense by allowing the addition of another hitter to the lineup and creating an opening in right field, an offensive position Zobrist normally played before making the move to shortstop. In addition, Zobrist likes playing the position and he made all of the routine plays. Maddon even noted that Zobrist had "no chrome," meaning he wasn't flashy. The Rays manager meant that as a compliment.
The way I see it, the one thing that could make the shortstop position interesting is if Hak-Ju Lee is deemed ready to take over the position at the Major League level. Lee is an above-average fielder who can stun you with the way he plays defense, but I don't know if he's ready to make the jump yet. If I had to make a bet right now, I'd say Zobrist will be the Opening Day shortstop next season.
I think the Rays should trade James Shields. After the way he ended the season, I don't think his value could ever be higher than it is right now. I say trade "Big Game" and get an impact player for the offense. I mean, it's not like the Rays don't have a surplus of starting pitching. What do you think?
-- Tim C., Brooksville, Fla.
I don't think it's that much of a cut-and-dried decision. While Shields will make $10.25 million next season if the Rays exercise their club option for his services, that's a bargain, relatively speaking. Having Shields and David Price at the top of the rotation gives the team 400-plus innings. That goes a long way toward allowing the bullpen to be successful, because having pitchers who go into the sixth or seventh inning every night lets Maddon use the members of the bullpen to match up against certain hitters or pitch in situations where they are strongest, rather than just coming in and having to cover innings. Not only is Shields talented, he is the obvious leader of the staff. If the Rays do decide to trade him, I think they will have to get a lot in return.
Why didn't the Rays move Wade Davis back into the rotation this season when they had injuries like the one to Jeff Niemann? After all, Davis was the guy Niemann beat out for the final spot in the rotation. Do you think Davis will be back in the starting rotation next season.
-- Terry G., St. Petersburg, Fla.
First, Davis was not moved back into the starting rotation because Maddon and company did not want to jerk him around this season. Rather than moving Davis back and forth, they wanted to give him a fair chance to succeed in the bullpen, which he did. While there are pitchers who do pitch in the bullpen and make an occasional spot start, the routines of starters and relievers are dramatically different. Thus, the Rays took the route they chose.
As for next season, let's wait and see what the roster looks like before making an early call. But based on the grace that Davis handled his assignment this year, along with his talent and his desire to be a starter, I think he'll get an opportunity to win a spot as a starter next spring.

A culture that diminishes sexual violence is indelibly linked to my experience. I still have days when I find myself thinking, at least it was only once. While I am thankful I was only raped one time, the truth is it’s never only once. I’ve been haunted by the memories of that moment my entire life. The effects of abuse ripple out to impact relationships, decisions, habits, and my sense of self every single day.
Mental illness is no respecter of persons. Anxiety and depression are equal opportunity employers and they do not care what kind of day or week or year you’re having. And along with mental illness comes shame. Shame whispers things like “You can’t get your own shit together, so stop writing.” It tells lies like, “You are crazy and this will never get better.”
It’s 1:34 am and I’m awake with allergies. This is nothing new – I’ve had the itchy eyes, scratchy throat, and stuffy nose for two weeks. I grab a glass of cold water and open the cabinet. Benadryl is good because it will help me get back to sleep, as well as deal with my symptoms. I slide my thumb under the arrow on the cap and pop open the little white bottle. As I tip the bottle over into my left palm, pink and white capsules spill into my hand.
Then it happens.

Bay County sheriff's deputies are still investigating what appears to be a drowning on the west end of the beaches.
It happened about 3:00 Monday afternoon at the Catalina Court Motel on Front Beach Road.
Witnesses say they saw 51 year old Katherine Bottoms floating on a raft in the motel's swimming pool before they left the area.
When they returned, they say she was floating in the bottom of the pool. Paramedics tried to revive her, but it was too late.
Neighbors say the woman lived at the motel, and had a history of seizures. Investigators are trying to find out if that played a role in her death.
Her body has been turned over to the Medical Examiner for autopsy.

With finals fast approaching, it's easy to forget about self-care. Take care of your mental health during this crazy time and don't throw your own well-being away for that A. Here are some ways you can indulge in self care during finals. Do at least one (or all) of these things to help!
1. Take a bath!
Grab a bath bomb and get in the tub to relax!
2. Go meditate.
Try to clear your mind for at least 10 minutes away. Take that time to focus on your breath and not your stress.
3. Try some yoga
Do a quick 20 minute yoga session to relax between long study sessions.
4. Curl up for a nap.
Power naps are extremely energizing and can help you stay awake longer.
5. Eat junk food.
Sugar and junk help you focus and it tastes good too! You can eat healthy when you don't have a calculus exam tomorrow.
6. Take a walk.
It's April and the weather is nice! Flowers are in bloom! Dogs are outside! What more reason could you need?
7. Buy yourself something nice!
Order something online that will get here after you're done with finals. It's a nice little victory award to look forward to.
8. Drink lots of tea.
Tea is delicious and good for you. It also makes you feel smart and fancy.
9. Watch a show during breaks!
If studying is hard for you, do it in intervals were you can reward yourself with a quick 20 minute show in between sessions. Make sure it's something you've already seen before so you're not blowing off all of your work to find out what happens next. Watch The Office!
10. Don't pull an all-nighter.
While it may be tempting to push work back and stay up all night to catch up, don't do it! You'll end up tired for your exam and therefore less focused. Get a full 8 hours of rest and arrive on time for that A!

During a five-hour meeting at the Capitol Tuesday, the board of directors for Idaho’s government-run health insurance exchange approved several new plans to expand its operations and OKed plans to undertake the construction of new charter and operational documents, but voted against two staffing additions proposed by executive director Amy Dowd.
“We are keeping local control in Idaho, and making Idaho-based decisions, despite problems with the federal website,” Dowd told board members of the exchange’s current web operations. “We will need to transfer off of the federally based web platform, hopefully by fall of 2014, and we will need to be sustainable by 2016.”
Noting that the creation of a state-based insurance exchange for next year will entail “many, many vendors,” Dowd sought permission from the board to add to hire an accountant, a policy analyst and an information technology (IT) professional. The IT position Dowd requested is the same one she sought to fill when in a controversial move she offered former board member Frank Chan a $375,000 no-bid contract last month.
“I don’t think we need a new IT person on staff,” board member Zelda Geyer-Sylvia, an executive with Blue Cross Insurance of Idaho, said in response to Dowd’s proposal. “Quite frankly, I think it’s more important that our staff understand our business model, that’s our priority.”
Geyer-Sylvia also questioned Dowd’s plan to hire an insurance policy analyst and how that staff position might replicate functions that are already carried out by the Idaho Department of Insurance (DOI).
“What exactly is the role of the DOI in your plan?” Geyer-Sylvia asked.
“There will be intense details and processes that the DOI will be involved with,” Dowd said, adding that the insurance exchange must have a dedicated staffer to interface with DOI.
“Ms. Dowd, It would be helpful to know in the future, because I clearly don’t know now, what precisely you think the exchange’s role is with the DOI,” commented board member Dave Self, an executive with Pacific Source insurance plans. “It seems that some of these functions fall under the purview of DOI, and it appears that you’re saying that there are regulatory functions to be set by the exchange that carriers will be held to.”
Bill Deal, director of the DOI, and a non-voting member of the exchange board, responded to Self: “We will review plans and set rates as we always have,” Deal said. “What Amy is talking about has to do with connectivity between the Department of Insurance and the exchange.”
Dowd also told board members that with the addition of numerous new vendors working on the exchange project, the exchange will likely end up in a situation of “vendors managing vendors,” adding that such a scenario brings vulnerabilities to the exchange.
“I am confused by your assertion of vendors managing vendors,” Geyer-Sylvia stated. “I would presume the staff, even you personally, would work directly with vendors, is that not correct?”
“I call it out as an awareness right now,” Dowd replied. “It’s a risk that could happen.”
Dowd also told board members that despite the intent that Idaho’s health insurance exchange website will be fully “state based” in 2014, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will still require the involvement of an independent auditor who will monitor the development of the new stated-based website. “It’s a quality control measure that the feds require,” Dowd explained.
The board members voted to reject the plans for both the hiring of an IT professional and a policy analyst, preferring instead to include the IT work with a separate and larger project services contract.
Board member Tom Shores asked Dowd, “Do you have any projection on what this (the IT services project) is going to cost?”
“We have estimated as far as our grant,” Dowd said. “So let me give you a range, it will be ranging between $1 million and $3 million, based on what we see in other states and what we feel we need in Idaho.”
The board did approve plans for the hiring of a full-time accountant, who will be an employee of the exchange and who will replace an individual who is currently providing bookkeeping services to the exchange under a limited, 20-30 hour a week contract.
Jeff Agenbroad, a board member who serves as the exchange’s treasurer, presented a proposed budget for fiscal year 2014, which ends in June of 2014. Agenbroad told the board members that he formulated his budgetary figures based on the assumption that the federal Medicaid health coverage plan will not be expanded in Idaho during the 2014 legislative session. The possible expansion of the program has been the subject of debate for most of 2013 with many health care providers benefitting from the program’s retroactive coverage.
“Are there no operational costs that would be impacted with Medicaid expansion?” asked board member Margaret Henbest.
“More people will come to the exchange and qualify for Medicaid,” explained Richard Armstrong, director of the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare (the state agency that administrates Medicaid in Idaho) and a non-voting member of the exchange board. “That will impact traffic to the website and so forth, but it’s not like you’d have to add new staff, do more training, and so forth.”
Documents from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) show that, thus far, more of Idaho’s exchange website visitors have qualified for Medicaid than have sought to purchase insurance. According to HHS, as of Nov. 10, some 1,597 Idaho website visitors were deemed “Medicaid eligible,” whereas only 338 had “selected” an insurance plan from the exchange website.
The board will meet again in early December.

Who Needs Luck and Talent - When You Have Unlimited Potential
A new perspective on life, early on, made all the difference to me. "I was part of the puzzle of this universe and I could influence it through my actions."...
(STORY THEME: Personal Development)
...At 14 I was dissatisfied with life. I didn't want to accept my parent's excuse that "some people have talents and others don't". I couldn't accept having no answer to the meaning of life.
After a long night of thinking through the development of our universe until now and figuring out the common factors of life from the beginning, I reached a conclusion that Development, Expansion and Balance were three keys. With this in my baggage I drew the final conclusion that it was ok not to know the meaning for now, since nobody before me these millions of years had come to a final answer anyway... but instead I would align myself with those three factors.
From there on I never had problem motivating myself to develop and learn things. It just made sense to me in my own logic weird kind of way.
Before this realization I was never really interested in learning. In school I was always the average of all averages. But after this all of a sudden I became like a sponge. I had no reason to waste time anymore. I had all reasons in the world to develop myself. I was part of the puzzle of this universe and I could influence it through my actions.
Obviously I didn't have time to consume all the knowledge and skills I desired at the same time. The hours were not enough. Even minutes became important. I had to choose.
At that time I had several subjects in school and quite a few that I was not very good at. One of them was Spanish. I never did put much energy into Spanish, even after my realization. I simply chose to focus on learning other things. One day however after a Spanish examination that I failed miserably due to lack of preparation, the teacher told me something like: "You really don't have the talent to learn Spanish; you should consider choosing another subject"
When I heard this I got electrified, totally furious inside. What kind of stupid teacher to say such a thing, what did she know? To claim that I didn't have the talent to learn a language!
I never went to the Spanish lessons again, totally changed focus. I applied for going to Japan for a year as an exchange student.
I went to Japan and learned Japanese.
Half a year after returning from Japan I arranged to go to China.
Now I can pick up the phone and call any Chinese or Japanese and if they didn't know me they wouldn't have a clue that I'm not local. So much for no language talent.
Of course my realization didn't confine me to learning languages. During these years I have approached all fields of life. Today when writing this I'm not 30 years old yet, but I've accumulated wealth worth over 2 million, have a happy family & kid and continue learning and growing with speeds and accuracy far beyond normal.
The only point I want to communicate here is that... Luck and Talent - Screw 'em! Unlimited potential is inside you and me. Opportunities are all over. Motivation can be created from within. Nothing is so difficult that it can't be done step by step.

Queen is Enlisting the Public to Help Put Together a Tribute Show
Since the death of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury in 1991, the band has toured extensively with Paul Rogers and has performed at many other occasions with multiple different lead singers. Now Queen drummer Roger Taylor thinks it’s time for Queen’s music to get back on the road, and he needs your help.
Taylor is currently accepting audition tapes to create a Queen tribute band that will tour with an iconic show, including unseen footage and a huge production. The show will be called Queen Extravaganza and will hit the road in 2012.

There is some really cute stuff- I saw pjs for $4.99, shirts for $3.99 and more.
My big girl just outgrew her winter coat so we stopped by Carters and got this yellow jacket. It is really cute and it was $21 with the 20% off for spending $40.
I got these slippers to- they are way cuter in person and there are 3 styles available online. (monkey, frog or tiger) In store the prices were the same but my store only had them in size 11-12.
Head over to Carter’s to have a look. Use coupon code: CA723BTR to save the extra 20% off when you spend $40 or print your Carter’s coupon here for in store shopping. There is also a 15% off coupon available for in store only with no minimum purchase.
*NOTE: The 20% off has some exclusions like clearance and doorbusters and such so it might not work on everything you want. I did personally use this coupon in store on the jacket and slippers plus some pj’s on clearance for $3.99 and the 20% off worked for every item. I went back again for two more pairs of pj’s and the 15% off in store printable did not work for the clearance items.

Rh incompatibility - series
Rh incompatibility occurs when the mother's blood type is Rh negative and her fetus' blood type is Rh positive.
If some of the fetus' blood passes into the mother's blood stream, her body will produce antibodies in response.
These antibodies could pass back through the placenta and harm the fetus' red blood cells, causing mild to serious anemia in the fetus.

By Sangeeta Saxena
New Delhi. IPO preparation on in full swing with The State Bank of India (SBI) is carrying out a risk assessment survey for the company and with helicopter services for VIP movement, Pawan Hans plans to embark on to regional connectivity for the common man. “Pawan Hans is in the process of transforming to meet the challenges in the market. Our aim is to develop remote connectivity by getting air connectivity to 670 district head quarters. At the moment only 50 have air connectivity.” said Dr. B.P. Sharma, CMD, Pawan Hans Ltd. (PHL), in an exclusive interview to Aviation & Defence Universe(ADU).
There is lot of scope for fleet expansion. In the Business Plan 2020, under which PHL will lease or acquire 63 choppers, small fixed wing aircraft and sea planes in the next 5 years. “There is a lot of potential for expanding operations and we intend to be fully equipped to tap it. We see a business to the tune of Rs.50,000 crore in the years to come in the helicopter sector,” he said.
The copter service firm has finalised a business plan, which it expects will increase its revenue to Rs 1,600 crore by 2027, from Rs 500 crore in 2015-16.
“In the world scenario we are less than 1% in the helicopter industry. There is a huge potential. 400 plus airstrips have been taken over by Airports Authority of India, Indian Air force and state governments. Heliports here with state initiative and PHL consultancy will help develop remote and regional connectivity, which is government’s aim,” he felt.
Pawan Hans has constructed the country’s first heliport at Rohini in North Delhi. “We are working to develop four ‘heli-hubs’ along the lines of ‘airport-hubs’. These heli-hubs will be a one-point solution for the helicopter business and will act as a helipad heliport for public passenger services, MRO facility for helicopter maintenance and also as a skill development centre for training of pilots, AMEs and technicians,” said Sharma.
The helicopter major plans to venture into MRO business. To start with the MRO facility is being planned to be established at Rohini at Delhi and Juhu at Mumbai through PPP model/ develop, manage and operate revenue based model. Pawan Hans signed an MoU with Hindusthan Aeronautics Limited for an MRO for its ALH-Dhruv helicopters. New safety department structure has been put in place for close monitoring and implementation of Safety Management System, Flight Data Monitoring System, Pilot training etc., to ensure accident/incident free flying.
Pawan Hans is a Mini Ratna-I category PSU and is India’s largest helicopter operator as also one of the Asia’s biggest operators. It has achieved flying of more than 7 lakhs hours and 25 lakhs landings on its fleet since its formation. Pawan Hans has its own fleet of 43 helicopters, comprising of 17 Dauphin N, 15 Dauphin N3, 3 MI-172, 3 Bell 206 L4, 3 Bell 407 and 2 AS 350 B3 helicopters. It also operates and maintains 6 Dhruv helicopters belonging to BSF and HAL.
The National Civil Aviation Policy has a lot of provisions to develop the chopper industry in India. Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS). Airport charges for helicopter operations are to be suitably rationalized. Further under the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), operations through helicopters would be permitted among the states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, North-Eastern Region of India, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep islands.

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is rapidly becoming a tool of choice for biologists wishing to investigate gene expression at greater resolution, particularly in areas such as development and differentiation. Single-cell data presents an array of bioinformatics challenges, data is sparse (for both biological and technical reasons), quality control is difficult and it is unclear how to replicate measurements. As scRNA-seq datasets have become available so have a plethora of analysis methods. We have catalogued software tools that implement these methods in the scRNA-tools database (www.scRNA-tools.org). Evaluation of analysis methods relies on having a truth to test against or deep biological knowledge to interpret the results. Unfortunately current scRNA-seq simulations are frequently poorly documented, not reproducible and do not demonstrate similarity to real data or experimental designs. In this talk I will present Splatter, a Bioconductor package for simulating scRNA-seq data that is designed to address these issues. Splatter provides a consistent, easy to use interface to several previously published simulations allowing researchers to estimate parameters, produce synthetic datasets and compare how well they replicate real data. Splatter also includes Splat, our own simulation model. Based on a gamma-Poisson hierarchical model, Splat includes additional features often seen in scRNA-Seq data, such as dropout, and can be used to simulate complex experiments including multiple cell types, differentiation lineages and multiple batches. I will also briefly discuss an analysis of a complex kidney organoid dataset, showing how more cells and different levels of clustering help to reveal greater biological insight.

NURTURING BIRTH & BEYOND
Every birth is special. Whether it takes place at the hospital or at home, vaginally or by cesarean, each is beautiful and deserving of celebration. No matter how you birth your baby, everyone can benefit from having a Doula present throughout pregnancy, at the moment of birthing and beyond. Please contact me to learn more about my services, and how I can help you bring your own child into this beautiful world.
Click here to read the testimonial from Nichole's water-birth.
& words of love from my birth and postpartum clients!
"During my pregnancy I knew I wanted a Doula, however had no connection to a doula or referral from anyone I trusted. At 34 weeks we started taking a Hypnobirthing class that was a 5 week session. It was there that we got to know the instructor well and really connected with her. Stephanie came highly recommended and well trusted by our instructor, also had taken the same Hypnobirthing classes we had!
It was easy to connect with Stephanie and arrange time to discuss my birth plan and goals. Stephanie was amazingly flexible considering we connected at the end of my third trimester days before my due date. Stephanie took time and was very detailed reviewing my birth plan and making sure she understood our desires. The morning I went into labor Stephanie was easy to get in touch with and so calm. Not having a lot of time to get to know each other there was a lot of trust that we both gave each other right off the bat. Stephanie was such a strong support for me, as a first time mom and my husband during labor, delivery and recovery. I honestly do not know how we would of navigated my goal to labor at home and have a successful water birth without her.
Stephanie is very knowledgeable and experienced, she was amazingly proactive with everything from making sure I had water to learning what helped my most through contractions. She helped coach my husband on what to do real time and really was actively involved the entire time.
Evie Rose came quietly and fairly fast on July 22nd after only 10 hrs of labor. Stephanie never leaving my side, was able to deliver her out of the water, when the nurse and team had briefly stepped out of the room.
From a nurse, first time mom, supporter of natural birth and water birth, I would without a doubt recommend Stephanie’s Doula support." - Nichole J.
“I was nervous about having a natural birth when I found out I was pregnant, but knew it was 100% what I wanted and that a doula could help. I was very happy when I met with Stephanie. She made me feel comfortable and kept in contact with me through each stage of pregnancy. She helped me recognize my bodies signals and how to deal with certain pregnancy related pains.
When it came down to delivery she got to the hospital quickly and was able to support me through each contraction while my partner got a little rest. She helped me to have my ideal birth that otherwise would not have been possible. I feel like she went above and beyond.” - Lacy M.
"If you, your partner, or someone you care about is having a baby in Metro Atlanta any time in the future, YOU NEED THIS WOMAN! I knew we would love her from the first time we spoke on the phone and then our first face to face meeting lasted longer than intended as she got to know it's beyond just our birth preferences. She was supposed to be our doula. But I believe she was more to us than any regular doula. It would be an understatement to say she is passionate about helping people achieve a beautiful childbirth. It is her calling and she is a goddess!!
The labor was 45 hours. Yes, that is correct. Labor. Was. 45. Hours. For real.
Stephanie kept my husband and I sane, happy, focused, and relaxed. She was a great coach through the tough moments. She took care of me so my husband could just get a break for five minutes. She sang with us in the easier hours. She took pictures of really special moments. She helped us make decisions and remembered our preferences. She kept us both as comfortable as possible. She made sure we ate and drank and even slept.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Stephanie and what she was for us. And she shared in the most amazing moment of our lives. She got to meet our daughter on her birth day and I'm sure that's why she does it.
Even our postpartum visit was more than expected. She brought me tea, helped with nursing positions, told me about ways to get my strength and energy back, and left us with a sense that we were amazing new parents. That positivity goes a long way. We can't recommend her enough!!" - Barbara U.

The Nextbit Robin is a truly unique concept of a phone that tried to do away with to familiar “out of storage” situation by offloading apps, photos, and other data to the cloud when it wasn’t being used. While the idea is certainly interesting, the idea certainly never garnered mainstream success (despite the gorgeous colors) and the Nextbit Robin has been an enthusiast piece of tech.
Amazon has perpetually marked down the price of the phone to $159.99 for a few months and now it looks like we finally see why. The company posted on its blog earlier today to let the community know that it has been acquired by PC peripheral manufacturer, Razer. Razer has dipped its toe into the Android space before, but this will mark the first time it has shown interest in phone hardware.
Nextbit Robin Specs
- Processor: Snapdragon 808
- Memory: 3GB RAM / 32 GB onboard / 100 GB online
- Screen: 5.2” IPS LCD 1080p
- Rear Camera: 13MP with phase detection autofocus, dual tone flash
- Front camera: 5MP
- Battery: 2,680mAh
- Other Features: Fingerprint sensor, NFC
So what’s happening to current devices in the wild? Nextbit says it will continue to fulfill all warranties on devices for another six months. Software updates for the Nextbit Robin will continue through February 2018, as promised. The company has stopped selling Robin and all accessories through official channels, so once the phone is gone it’s gone. You can still pick it up for less than $160, if you’re curious about the hardware before it’s gone for good.
For what it’s worth, Razer is known for its crazy concepts in the PC space. Just this year at CES 2017, the company introduced a laptop with three screens that fold out. In fact, that new prototype concept proved so popular that it was stolen and has yet to be recovered. The company has also experimented with modular computing and Android TV set top boxes in the past, so it will be interesting to see where Razer goes with the Nextbit team.

Here is an older 2004 paper from J.T. Toman (pdf):
In modern times, the College of Cardinals have been locked in the Sistine Chapel with the purported aim to divine the Will of God in the election of the Pope. Between 20 and 60 percent of cardinals vote for the same candidate throughout the conclave, depending on the length of the conclave. For those cardinals that change their voting behavior, they are influenced by both the vote counts and the nightly conversations. However, in unifying the cardinals to one winner the dominant force is the observed vote counts.

"High society here turns me off and I feel bit of rage against all these rich guys here, since I have seen thousands of people in the most terrible misery," Kahlo wrote in 1932 about her time in Detroit.
Painting Nr. 26, Frida Kahlo:
Display Window in a Street of Detroit 1931
Oil on metal, 30,3 x 38,2 cm
Collection Mr and Mrs Abel Holtz
Gary Nader Fine Art, Miami, Florida, USA
This colorful painting was painted by Frida as a memory of her stay in Detroit.
The painting is dated "1931" but in 1931 Frida was in New York not in Detroit. She moved to Detroit with Diego Rivera in 1932. She may have started the painting in New York and then finished it in Detroit.
Frida's friend, the photographer Lucienne Bloch, recalls being with Frida in New York when they saw the display window that inspired the painting.
On the other hand, Lucienne Bloch remember walking with Frida around the poorer sections of Detroit, and walking past a closed store that displayed the 4th of July theme.
This painting seems to be a simple "still life" composition of objects in a shop window, but it looks like a collection of toys for the child she desired to have and never had.
However, some critics believe the theme is perhaps an allegory of the United States. In the background she seems to indicate that the country is still "under construction" and the objects in the store window are just a façade for distraction. Frida never explained this painting and many interpretations are possible.
The lion and horse in the painting very closely resemble ceramic and terracotta figures of Frida's personal collection.
The inscription in the lower right corner reads: "Display window in a street of Detroit".

LUST FOR LIFE, the fourth and final novel in the WVMP RADIO series! Which means I have some thoughts and a giveaway to share with you. But let's get some Very Important Business out of the way.
First, an event announcement! Ciara and Shane will hold a Twitter chat this Saturday, December 1, 8-9pm Eastern. I will give away WVMP swag packs to 5 randomly drawn folks who ask them questions during this time (international entries welcome).
Just follow the #WVMPchat hashtag on your favorite Twitter app, or on Tweetchat.com, which will magically add the hashtag to your post, thus ensuring everyone in the chat sees your tweet.
Second, if you haven't read LUST FOR LIFE's Chapter One or the many teasers on my Facebook page, just follow those links.
Third, please buy this book! Thank you! Here are links for your purchasing pleasure:
- Constellation Books (signed, and if you order this week, you can still get it personalized, because we sold out of LFL's at last Sunday's signing, so I still need to sign books for the bookstore workers, which means Lauretta will be bringing me another stack anyway. Does that make sense?)
- Barnes & Noble
Purchase links for all four novels can be found on the WVMP Buy Us! page.
By the way, ten percent of all author royalties will be donated to VH1's Save the Music Foundation. So yay.
Let it Bleed," Book 3.5 in the series. It bridges the gap between BRING ON THE NIGHT and LUST FOR LIFE. Its events are recapped in LUST FOR LIFE, so you won't be totally lost if you skip it. But they are very dramatic events which you're better off experiencing directly. Consider yourself duly notified.
Now that that's out of the way, it's time for a release day post!
I was planning to write about what it's like to end a long-running series, or do a nostalgic post about the series as a whole. But that would be giving short shrift to LUST FOR LIFE--it deserves its very own post, don't you think?
Not surprisingly, it was a song that gave me the idea for the events of this book and how the series would come to a close. Revealing the song title would spoil everything, but after you've read the book, check out the unnamed tune on the radio at the end of Chapter 30 (if you can't figure out the title, check the playlist at the front of the book).
DON'T LOOK UNTIL YOU'VE READ UP TO THAT POINT! Seriously, you will regret it.
Anyway, the moment I knew how it would all end, I decided I would do anything to make it happen. When my publisher turned down the proposal for LUST FOR LIFE due to less-than-stellar sales of the first three books, I was in the middle of revising LET IT BLEED, which was originally going to be Book 4 (with LUST FOR LIFE as Book 5). The thought of ending the series on the bittersweet notes of LIB made me go, "Uh-uh. No way." Except with more cussing and crying.
I asked my publisher if I could take the proposed plot for LUST FOR LIFE and make that Book 4, then self-publish what was originally Book 4 as Book 3.5, a novella. To this unique, innovative, but almost definitely crazy idea, they said, "Sure!"
It meant basically writing a whole extra novel for free, but I think it was worth it, to give the readers and especially the characters their ultimate happy ending. I hope you agree it was worth the wait!
So, today I started thinking about the things that vampires long for, what they miss from their previous human existence. Here's an exchange from LUST FOR LIFE (ellipses indicate intentional gaps left to avoid BRING ON THE NIGHT spoilers):
"What food do you miss most?" [I ask Shane]....
"When I was a kid, Mom made pancakes every Sunday after Mass. Originally she made them before Mass, but then we kept falling asleep in church. She learned to use pancakes as a bribe to get us to behave."
"Then I got diabetes, so I couldn't always have them. She would make me eggs instead. And I could never have syrup."
He nods. "So definitely pancakes."
The doorbell rings. Shane goes still for an instant, then looks at me, his eyes tinged with sadness and anxiety. Then he smiles and says, "Speaking of breakfast..."
Vampires lust over many aspects of life: food, sunlight, the freedom to travel without fear. Though they can technically survive on bank blood, most prefer to drink directly from a living, pulsing vein. The need for blood gives them a convenient excuse to get close to humans, to live vicariously through them. If they were truly isolated from humanity, they would rapidly fade.
What about you? If you were a vampire in the WVMP universe, what would you miss most? Answer in the comments below to enter to win a signed, personalized copy of your choice of Bring on the Night or Lust for Life. I'll draw two winners a week from today, Tuesday, December 4, 7:30pm Eastern time.
My answer? Well, I'm not a huge fan of sunlight, and as much as I love to travel, I'm secretly quite the homebody, so for me it would probably be food. Mac and cheese, donuts, even something as simple as a ripe pear.
(HAHAHA, who am I kidding? Fresh fruit would not make the list.)
Tomorrow's post will be hosted by Awesomesauce Book Blog, who interviewed Shane and Regina for their Creature Feature.
Then on Thursday, Shane will talk 90s music over at Two Chicks on Books. Friday I'll be back here revealing and discussing the LUST FOR LIFE playlist. Then Saturday at 8pm ET comes Ciara and Shane's Twitter chat.
Thanks for joining me for release week, everyone! Now go read the book and report back. Go on, I'll wait...

Income Summary Account
Income summary account is a temporary account used in the closing stage of the accounting cycle to compile all income and expense balances and determine net income or net loss for the period. The net balance of the income summary account is closed to the retained earnings account.
In the closing stage, balances in all income accounts are transferred to the income summary account by debiting the individual income accounts by their closing balance and crediting the corresponding balance to the income summary account. Similarly, balances in all expense accounts are transferred to the income summary account by crediting the individual accounts by their closing balance and debiting the corresponding balance to the income summary account.
If the income summary account has a net credit balance i.e. when the sum of the credit side is greater than the sum of the debit side, the company has a net income for the period. Conversely, if the income summary account has a net debit balance i.e. when the sum of the debit side is greater than the sum of the credit side, it represents a net loss.
An income summary account is effectively a T-account of the income statement. Since it is a temporary ledger account, it does not appear on any financial statement.
A net income is closed/transferred to retained earnings by debiting income summary account and crediting retained earnings account while a net loss is transferred by crediting income summary account and debiting retained earnings account. Once this process is complete, a post-closing trial balance is prepared which helps in preparation of the balance sheet.
In the financial year 2012, PC Ltd. had total revenues of $20 million. It used three expense accounts with the following balances:
|Cost of goods sold||$8 million|
|Selling expense||$4 million|
|Administrative expense||$2 million|
|Finance cost||$1 million|
Post the transactions to the income summary account and close the income summary account.
|Income Summary Account|
|Cost of goods sold||8,000,000||Revenues||20,000,000|
In this case, the income summary account has a net credit balance which means that the company has a net income of $5 million.
The income summary account is closed by taking the net balance to retained earnings as follows:
|Income summary account||$5 million|
|Retained earnings||$5 million|

Please welcome our guest blogger Elysha Jones. Elysha and her family love biking and live in a car-light household. Elysha tells a great story about having out-of-town guests and showing them how awesome biking in Madison can be. Especially for those of us who already regularly ride, it is easy to forget how others perceive biking—dangerous, weird, requiring special gear, not for families, and so on. Elysha's post puts this in perspective and reminds us that getting around by bike in Madison is pretty convenient and fun. Thanks for sharing, Elysha!
A little background on us: Scott, my husband, and I were both born and raised in the suburbs of St. Louis, MO. During a visit to Amsterdam we fell in love with the biking life. But back home in the suburbs we found that we couldn’t bike everywhere like the Dutch did. So we decided to move some place more bike/pedestrian friendly, and Madison fit the bill for us. For five years now we have called Madison home, and we haven’t looked back.
This past weekend our friends from St. Louis came to visit. Weeks before the visit I talked with Becky about all the stuff we could do here, and I kept mentioning that biking would really be the best way to go to all the different places. She was very skeptical and told me she wasn’t sure she could handle biking with her two kids (ages ten and eight). I told her I have a bakfiets and could borrow a long tail bike from a friend. Another excuse for Becky not wanting to bike was curbs: Becky was sure there would be curbs that we would have to maneuver. So on one of my many errands by bike I stopped every now and then to take pictures of the bike trails and streets they intersect with and sent them to her. Again she worried: What should she wear while biking?! She didn’t own “bike clothes” and neither did her husband. And again I tried to reassure her by taking pictures of me in my “biking” outfits, that is, just regular clothes. Still, Becky remained unconvinced and tried one more excuse: Her husband, he didn’t want to bike at all. He thought it was really weird and had no desire to do it all. So I hatched a plan to convince him it was normal to bike around in Madison.
When they got into town, on Friday, we took them out to dinner. We live just a bit off of Atwood, and so we walked down to Glass Nickel Pizza and then walked from there to the Chocolate Shoppe. I made sure we walked down the bike path. I wanted to normalize biking as much as I could. I also made sure to point out all the “regular” people biking by and the Bicycle Benefit stickers at all the places we went to and explaining to them what they get for that little sticker on their helmet. Finally, we got back to our house and they were a bit unsure of biking still. But I could tell: At this point they were at least thinking of it as a possibility. I thought it would be best if I showed the kids the bikes they could ride on and let the grownups see our bikes too. I opened our garage door and told them to go ahead and pick out bikes that would work for them. They had a blast in our mini bike shop. They all picked out bikes and we went for a quick ride around our neighborhood. There was a lot of laughter and cheering. It seemed like my plan was working!
Saturday morning I suggested we bike to the farmers market on the Square. They all agreed, and the 12 of us made our way downtown. Our friends were impressed by the bike paths and the bike elevator and cars stopping for us! After walking around the Square I suggested we bike down State Street to the Union Terrace. Again, this was a huge surprise to them: a street just for bikes and special vehicles! They loved the Union too, and when we got home and they realized they had biked 12 miles round trip, they were all pleasantly surprised. “It didn’t seem that long!”
On Sunday I suggested we go to the zoo and I said whoever wanted to drive could and whoever wanted to bike could. All the kids wanted to bike, and my friend’s husband wanted to bike too!! Even though he said he was a bit sore from all the biking the day before, he still chose biking over driving! So we all biked to the zoo and then on to Ella’s Deli for ice cream. Their kids chatted about how they wanted to live in Madison when they got older, and our friends were able to see how and why biking was such a big part of our lives. It was a huge success and made us really appreciate the biking infrastructure that Madison has.

Get baking, Salty Tart-style
- Blog Post by: Rick Nelson
- March 7, 2012 - 2:30 PM
Midwest Living magazine's March/April edition has an ode to several bakeries, including the Salty Tart in Minneapolis. As a part of the story, chef/owner Michelle Gayer shared a pair of recipes that read as very bake-able to this weekend baker.
I test-drove "Janice's Chocolate Oatmeal Cake" (pictured, above) this morning, and my hunch was correct: It's extremely bake-able. It comes together without the benefit of an electric mixer, that's how easy it is to prepare -- and it's delicious, a dense, ultra-moist snack. (Speaking of delicious, check out this Gayer recipe for chocolate meringues, from our archives).
Gayer has been doing a play on this cake for years, borrowing elements from a childhood favorite from her mother Janice Gayer's repertoire; I recall with great affection the mini-Bundt variation that was such a favorite of mine that I hold it personally responsible for the wider notch on my belt. I especially appreciate Gayer's trick of inserting a small amount of cooked wild rice into the cake, which inserts a mild nutty chewiness, without adding actual nuts.
The story isn't online -- only the recipes -- but I loved this quote from the magazine's print edition: "I want people to feel good about what they're eating and to want to take another bite," said Gayer. "I use seasonal, local and organic ingredients, so they don't feel guilty about where their food comes from."
JANICE'S CHOCOLATE OATMEAL CAKE
Serves 12 to 18.
Note: From Michelle Gayer of the Salty Tart in Minneapolis, published in Midwest Living magazine.
1 c. flour, plus extra for pan
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 c. cooked wild rice
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, at room temperature and cut into pieces, plus extra for pan
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 c. granulated sugar
1 c. packed brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 c. semisweet or milk chocolate pieces, divided
2 tbsp. powdered sugar, optional
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, optional
To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt and reserve.
In a large bowl, combine oats, wild rice, and butter. Pour boiling water over oat mixture; let stand for 10 minutes. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar to oat mixture and stir until butter is melted. Stir in eggs until combined. Add flour mixture and stir until combined. Stir in 1/2 cup of chocolate pieces. Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup chocolate pieces.
Bake until a wooden toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer pan to a wire rack and cool competely.
To prepare topping: Dust cooled cake with powdered sugar and cocoa powder, optional.
BROWN BUTTER TARTS WITH SOUR CHERRIES
Makes six 4-inch tarts.
Note: This recipe must be prepared in advance. Subsitute dried figs or pitted whole dates for dried cherries. From Michelle Gayer of the Salty Tart in Minneapolis, published in Midwest Living magazine.
1 3-oz. package cold cream cheese, cut into small pieces
1/2 c. cold butter, cut into small pieces
3/4 c. cake or pastry flour, plus extra for rolling dough
For tart filling:
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cake or pastry flour
1/2 c. snipped dried tart red cherries
1 4- to 6-inch vanilla bean, or 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 c. heavy cream
1 tbsp. powdered sugar (optional)
1/2 tsp. finely shredded orange peel
1/4 tsp. ground cardamom
To prepare tart dough: In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat cream cheese and cold butter for 30 seconds. Add cake or pastry flour and beat until just combined (dough should be slightly lumpy). Gather and pat dough into a 6-inch disk. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
When ready to prepare tarts, lightly flour a work surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll chilled tart dough, working from center to edges of circle, until dough is about 13 to 14 inches in diameter and about 1/8-inch thick. Cut six 4-1/2-inch rounds from dough. Press rounds firmly into bottom and up sides of six 4-inch individual tart pans with removable bottoms. (if necessary, gather and reroll scraps for final crust.) Trim crusts even with top of pans. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
To prepare filling: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, cook butter until it turns the color of light brown sugar, about 15 minutes. (Butter should smell nutty, but not burnt. Brown/black specs in butter are normal and desired.) Set aside to cool slightly, but keep butter in liquid form. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer with a whip attachment on medium speed, beat eggs and sugar until triple in volume and light lemon in color, about 4 to 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, fold browned butter into egg mixture. Sift flour over batter and fold into butter-egg mixture. Pour filling into the pastry-lined tart pans. Top each with dried cherries. Place tart pans in a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Bake until tarts are golden brown and filling springs back slightly to the touch, about 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from oven, transfer tarts in their pans to a wire rack and cool 1 hour.
To prepare cardamom whip: Using the tip of a paring knife, slit vanilla bean lengthwise down the center. Using the side of the knife, scrape the seeds from half of the vanilla bean and reserve. Wrap remaining half of bean with plastic wrap and reserve for another use. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar (optional), vanilla seeds (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract), orange peel, and cardamom. Beat with chilled beaters of an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
To serve: Remove sides from tart pans and garnish each tart with cardamom whip.

"We made eye contact, and she reached over, took my hand, and asked me if I was Crow," Garcia said. "I said, 'no, I'm Pueblo.' The woman immediately calmed down. I think she felt like she would be safe with me. We are the same people.
"I think it comforts Native American patients to see that Natives will be caring for them," Garcia said, adding that she knows there are also many dedicated non-Native professionals on reservations.
It's one of the reasons Garcia, 45, is planning to work as a nurse in Montana for the Indian Health Service (IHS) following her graduation from MSU. And as she looks toward commencement and reflects on the path she has taken to get to this point, she says she wouldn't have made it without her children, her faith, and the many different people at MSU who have helped her and exhibited kindness along the way.
Garcia said she has always known that she wanted to be a nurse, but she has taken a circuitous route to get there.
"Even as a little girl, I was always trying to help people," she said. "Becoming a nurse is something that has always been in my heart."
Garcia grew up in Las Cruces, N.M., where her mother worked as a nurse's aide and later made hosiery at a company that is now known as Hanes. Garcia's sister has worked in the medical field, too. In addition to a number of other jobs after high school, Garcia herself spent about 10 years working as a medical assistant in rheumatology, internal medicine, family practice and pediatric offices, and at that point she was considering attending school to become a nurse. But the program she was looking into in Albuquerque was so popular that it would be two years before her application would even be considered.
Because of the long wait, Garcia thought about studying environmental science instead, and so she enrolled in a program that took her to Costa Rica. While there, she became friends with Dan Buresh, a professor at Sitting Bull College in North Dakota, who had heard about MSU's Caring For Our Own (CO-OP) program, which works to recruit and graduate Native American nursing students.
"I believe that meeting Dan and learning about the CO-OP program was why I went to Costa Rica. It's incredible how Creator works," Garcia said.
She didn't hesitate to take a leap. Garcia, who had just turned 40 and had recently gone through a divorce, moved to Bozeman with her three kids - who were then 13, 9 and 7 -- in the summer of 2005 and started courses at MSU that fall.
"I needed a change, and this just seemed right," she said.
It might seem that the odds would be against a non-traditional aged, single mother who came more than 1,000 miles from home to earn a bachelor's degree in a competitive field. Yet Garcia, who is quiet, bright and articulate, has distinguished herself as a motivated and hard-working person.
"Martha is representative of a lot of students out there -- single parents particularly -- that I would call unsung heroes," Burns said. "She exemplifies a lot of qualities that go unnoticed: people silently doing their work everyday, completing their tasks, doing things behind the scenes."
Burns said Garcia has played a "crucial" role in helping to organize the American Indian Council pow wow and has been "someone you can count on to call upon for any sort of assistance."
Moving across the country with her children to a place where she knew no one required facing a number of challenges and overcoming numerous obstacles, Burns added.
"I just admire her tenacity and her character. She made a conscious decision to improve her life by pursuing a degree in nursing and is trying to be a role model for her family by pursuing a college education... a lot of students don't make it, and Martha did. She never lost sight of who she was as an individual and what she wanted to give back to her community. She's very concerned about health care issues in Indian country. I'm sure she'll be a phenomenal health care professional."
Garcia points to several factors that have motivated her to become a nurse: the need for Native nurses, her faith, her children and an incredible support network at MSU.
"I see the need for Native nurses," Garcia said. "It's hard when you walk onto a reservation and all of the health care professionals are white. It's difficult for patients, particularly the elders."
Megkian Doyle, an academic adviser in the CO-OP program, agrees the need is great, particularly because of a high turnover rate with doctors who work on reservations. Many stay for about three years, she said, often as a condition of loans they received while in school.
"Martha helped interview some elders about this," Doyle said. "What she found is that elders were appreciative of the IHS services, but they wanted (health care workers) who would understand them, stay longer and be consistent.
"There's a cultural understanding piece there, and Martha is very tuned into that," Doyle added.
Garcia is also convinced that she is meant to be at MSU.
"I believe Creator works for us in such amazing ways," Garcia said. "I remember praying to Creator that everything would work out as it was supposed to. I'm still in awe of how it has."
And, during the times when working toward her goal has been particularly challenging, Garcia credits the support networks at MSU and her children as having been crucial to her decision to stick with it.
In particular, the CO-OP program was a continual source of help.
CO-OP staff members helped Garcia secure housing. They connected her with a mentor, with whom Garcia would talk and go hiking. They helped Garcia arrange her class schedule and found tutors when she needed them.
"If it wasn't for the CO-OP program, I wouldn't have lasted here," Garcia said. "They served as family. They made me feel like I wasn't alone. I moved here and I didn't know anyone, but they showed us so much support. It was amazing to me that they took us in just like family."
The American Indian Council was also a valuable resource for Garcia.
"The AIC has been like a safe haven here," she said. "You can go there (to the American Indian Student Center) and be comfortable. You feel like you belong.
"I know that if I didn't have those two programs, I would have packed up and gone home," she added.
Garcia said she almost did anyway. One challenge that seemed particularly insurmountable was a required anatomy and physiology course.
"I didn't pass it the first time, and I just fell apart," Garcia recalled. "I thought I couldn't do it."
But CO-OP staff members encouraged Garcia to take it again. They said there were tutors who could help Garcia. And her daughter encouraged her to try again, too, which was a pivotal moment.
"My daughter said, 'so things get hard and you want to pack up and go home?' And I thought, 'Ouch! Who's the parent here?' She was right, and I didn't want her to look at me as a person who would give up."
So Garcia took anatomy and physiology for a second time that summer and was successful.
"I couldn't believe it, but I did it," she said.
Indeed, Doyle says Garcia's persistence and strong work ethic have served her well.
Doyle describes Garcia as a good student who is patient and self-deprecating. She said Garcia has also been tutoring CO-OP students in the lower division nursing courses as a volunteer - even though Doyle is certain Garcia could be paid for her efforts.
Garcia is also "incredibly dedicated," Doyle said. "She's had challenges here, but she has stayed here anyway. That really means something."
Garcia is set to graduate from MSU with a bachelor's degree on May 8, several weeks ahead of her oldest daughter's graduation from high school.
It's an accomplishment that has helped her to realize that if a person is willing to work hard, the resources are there to help that person succeed.
"As long as you have the desire, the support is there," Garcia said.

Herbal Supplement is a medication based on natural ingredients. Its consists of herb or plant extracts. Such medication is suitable for people who prefer natural, organic products.
Why generics are cheaper than brand?
A huge part of a brand drug price consists of research and development costs, and advertising. Drug companies that produce generic versions simply buy chemical ingredients and spend money on production. Thus they can sets lower prices on their products.

It's an inconvenient truth that cheating doesn't always stop once one becomes poly, and is something we would rather not discuss. After all, a main differentiation point for poly is that WE are honest in our dealings within our relationships, so cheating behavior is pretty thoroughly scorned, disavowed, and abhored within our community. Still, it's certainly not unheard of for people who would prefer to think of themselves as ethically non-monogamous to backslide in those ethical ideals, and stray towards cheating behaviors.
It's confused me. We're poly! Our current relationships are all set up that way. We have all this freedom! Why fuck it up? Why would one ever choose to skip the consent and information sharing section in favor of deceit and deliberate damaging of trust built in their life? Here are a few ideas I've observed being bandied about:
I'm not willing to do the work to integrate a new person into my existing life. Either there's a lack of communication skills with one or more involved, or a difference in poly styles that makes the new person incompatible with what currently exists.
I get off on having a Dirty Little Secret. It feels naughty, taboo, and there is still a charge there, the thrill of having a secret, getting away with something.
It's just faster to get what I want, right now, without the "burden" of consent. I want what I want, and I want it now!!! Why should I take the time to send that text message to my partners, or delay the gratification I seek in the now? I'm a free person, and I can do what I want, when I want, with whom I want, and I'm not sure this opportunity will be there again, if I wait.
I still feel like it's "wrong/selfish" to desire another person. There are often mono societal tapes playing in the background, usually with everyone involved, that lead towards guilt. What they don't know, won't hurt them!
I'm doing this for the protection of my existing partner(s). They're sick/pregnant/unable to consent in some fashion. It's finals week. The timing is just awful. Seriously. It'd be selfish for me to bring this up right now. I'll double back later.
I've made an agreement that I didn't really desire personally, and don't know how to/if it can be successfully renegotiated. This one is tricky. You said yes, and often those sorts of agreements are made to protect your existing partner from something that is hard for them to do, and something you understand the reasons behind. To change those agreements will take buy in from your existing partner(s), and you may not feel confident in their willingness to do that, or your own worthiness of their effort in this regard.
I fear that a current partner might look at my new dating choice and feel like I'm missing something major that would preclude that being a good idea to pursue; the Jiminy Cricket Effect. Most of us are aware that our own judgment can be skewed in the early stages of a relationship, and we may very well be ignoring major, flashing, neon signs that read, "Path to destruction!". It's harder to ignore those signs when an outside, loved, and trusted source, is pointing them out to you, and also mentioning that they are likely to harmed in this as well. Better to just sidestep that inconvenience...
There's a semi-comprehensive list of reasons for cheating in poly! Wasn't that fun? That whole section is just a recitation of justifications for poor behavior. It's bullshit rationalizing to get your own way, without considering larger ramifications. If your brain, or body part of your choice, is headed down any of these pathways, back up the boat!
I've never regretted putting off sex, or not moving faster in a new relationship to attend to the needs of my current partners and relationships, even when I'm crawling out of my skin with NRE. It's a big old lie based in scarcity thinking that everything worth having must be had NOW, or it will evaporate into the ether. Take the time! Do the work! Get some new skills, if you're in over your head! Find a mentor! If you're unable to renegotiate, move out of the current relationship before you embark on the next! Delayed gratification will not kill you. Hold the line. Don't cheat.

Creating the Anthropocene may have cost us the Earth
The Holocene has been good to us. A stable climate, warm and rainy; just the right conditions for the human species to flourish and progress through all the technological and societal developments in our short existence – right up to the point where we could actually invent geological epochs and give the Holocene the credit it deserves. It’s the only epoch we’ve ever really known, so it seems a little ungrateful that we are now replacing it with one we’ve named after ourselves.
That’s because, as it turns out, some of us never knew the Holocene at all. On 29 August, an expert group told the International Geological Congress in Cape Town that since the middle of the last century, we have been living in a new epoch: the Anthropocene.
This is a profound moment in human history. The Anthropocene – an epoch defined by human impact on the environment – is more than geological housekeeping. It is a clear statement that humans have changed the planet.
Defining an epoch normally relies on evidence laid down over thousands or millions of years. So it’s a mark of scientists’ belief in the Anthropocene’s urgent societal significance that rather than leaving it to generations millennia hence, they have moved to declare a new epoch now, based on data just decades old. Geology has never moved so fast.
The experts argue that scientists of the future won’t have to look very hard to see that humanity began to indelibly alter the planet in the 20th century. From the dusting of radioisotopes that settled on the Earth after the advent of nuclear warfare, to persistent plastics deposited in our waterways, to rising nitrogen and phosphate levels in soil, and CO2 levels in the atmosphere – the evidence is all around.
Humanity’s spheres of influence have grown to include every aspect of the Earth: the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere… you name it. And in the last 100 years, we have learned a lot about the way our actions affect the environment, much of it from vast, often unintentional, chemistry experiments. We know a great deal about the action of CFCs in the stratosphere, for example, and the toxicology of lead. We know how pesticides can hobble whole ecosystems, that burning fossil fuels changes the climate and acidifies the oceans, and that using antibiotics leads to resistant organisms. No one knows the high price of this knowledge better than chemists. Even the word ‘Anthropocene’ has its roots in chemistry: Paul Crutzen, who won the Nobel prize in chemistry for his work on the mechanisms of ozone depletion, was among those who first proposed the term in 2000.
All of which raises the question: is the knowledge worth the cost? Well, that depends entirely on what we do with it. The lessons may have come too late to repair all the damage, but we can mitigate and adapt.
We are the first humans in history whose activity has reached such a scale that it affects the whole planet, and we are the first with the means to know it. The Anthropocene warns us that time is short, but we can still work to make sure that it is defined by positive human impact. Otherwise, the first man-made epoch may also be our last.

More changes to chargeback procedures are coming in April 2019 with Mastercard’s dispute resolution initiative. While the details are still forthcoming, Mastercard hopes the changes will prevent invalid disputes and streamline the process from end-to-end. The first phase, already effective in October, made minor edits to reason codes and cardholder documentation. Phase two comes this spring and eliminates a few reason codes and adjusts some timeframes. Compliance is crucial because failure to adhere to Mastercard dispute rules can result in loss of chargeback rights for your institution.
Fraud and authorization-related claims consistently contribute at least 80% of the disputes reported by cardholders. This webinar will focus primarily on the claim reason codes related to fraud disputes and explain the specifics of an issuer’s ability to submit a payment recovery claim.
Continuing Education: Attendance verification for CE credits upon request
- What information is needed from the cardholder?
- How is authorization data used to determine when chargeback rights are available?
- What happens when funds cannot be recovered from the merchant through a chargeback?
- How the Mastercard zero liability rule factors into compliance obligations
- Overview of the merchant authorization process
- A simple way to differentiate fraud chargeback claims from non-fraud claims
- Requirements for an EMV liability shift claim
- Maximum timeframes for submitting claims requests
- Complete Mastercard dispute resolution cycle
- TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT
- Sample cardholder dispute form
- Quick-reference comparison of Regulation E and Mastercard rules
- Link to publicly available Mastercard rules

Smudging is an ancient art, used in healing and to clear spiritual or emotional negativity. It consists of burning herbs or plant resins, and can be tremendously beneficial for you if you give it a chance.
Check out these great reasons to consider smudging:
1) It can clear the air, literally. Some more recent studies have suggested that medicinal smoke, or smudging, can clear up to 94% of harmful bacteria for up to 24 hours.
2) Some practitioners say this is because sage and other herbs release negatively charged ions that help neutralize positive ions that leave us feeling sluggish, fatigue, or burnt out. As a result, smudging can help us feel lighter, and more energetic.
3) Some practitioners also note that a build up of positive ions, often as a result of stress, anger, or tension, can result in the kind of palpable energy you can feel, and may say things like “you can cut the tension with a knife” in reference to. That stagnant energy, however, can be remedied with smudging if the parties involved are willing.
4) Smudging as a long history, as well. Many Native American tribes and other indigenous groups, for instance, still practice smudging regularly as part of various rituals.
6) Many practitioners of smudging believe the resulting smoke may heighten the sensitivity of healers, for instance, so they are better able to treat their patients.
7) And burning herbs is common in many religions. Catholics, for instance, may be familiar with the burning of frankincense; many Buddhist temples burn incense. Historically, Incas burned palo santo wood.
8) Additionally, smudging may have medicinal benefits for those who are affected by poor air quality, which means it can help those who suffer from asthma, headaches, lung problems and respiratory issues, as well as general coughs and colds.
But how do you smudge? Let’s consider how you might smudge with sage, for instance.
Some say burning sage increases clarity and awareness, heightens wisdom, improves moods and enhances the memory and quickens the senses.
Bundled white sage is the easiest to smudge with, and can be readily found online or in most local herb or health stores.
It’s important that when we smudge, we keep our intentions in mind. If there’s an energy we want to erase, for instance, we need to focus our attention on that energy.
When we light the sage, a flame is possible. If that happens, simply blow gently on the flame so you just have smoking embers, rather than open flame. You want the sage to leave a smoky trail, as the smoke is what changes the energy. You may need to relight the sage several times; this is natural.
Once the sage is smoking, we smudge by waving the smoky sage around our body. We start at the floor, then bring it up over our head and around our body in circles. When we have done this, we may choose to place the sage (burning side down) in a fireproof bowl. Our intentions should guide the smoke, so it’s important we focus on that.
As we move the sage around our body or around the room, it’s important we listen to our intuition. We may naturally feel the impulse to pause or linger in certain places; we shouldn’t fight that urge, but rather pay attention to it.
Many practitioners recommend smudging at the start of new times, such as the beginning of a week or month, on a solstice or equinox, or at the start of a new situation.

The Irish are rolling and the Cardinal are spiraling, two teams going in directly different directions. Notre Dame is fighting for a potential playoff spot, Stanford just wants to their their season on a high note. This could be a potential trap game for Brian Kelly and his squad, so they need to be focused and not allow Stanford to think they can hang with the Irish. So, here are five keys for the Irish to avoid a final regular season game letdown.
Punch Stanford in the mouth immediately
A team with a six-game losing streak won’t have much confidence facing a team that is on the verge of making the College Football Playoff for a second consecutive season. If the Irish can make quick work of the Cardinal and take an early double digit lead, this one could be over before we know it. Letting the home team get any sort of momentum early could keep this a game for longer than Kelly would like.
Give the quarterback time
It has become a trend for the Irish recently has seen Jack Coan get the lion share of snaps and the offense has been very solid. Last week saw the senior put up his best numbers since the season opener against Florida State. He’s getting more comfortable in the offense and has looked solid. Tyler Buchner’s opportunities have dwindled, but if the Irish can run the score up quickly, once again there’s an chance for him to get much needed reps throwing the ball. For him to get more comfortable, the line needs to keep up it’s high level of play that we have seen recently.
The defense just needs to do what it has been
Can you really complain about what Marcus Freeman has done the last three weeks? No touchdowns allow, just 9 total points with a shutout last week against Georgia Tech. Will they need to score two times like last week, no. Nothing needs to change on this side of the ball, the defense just needs to continue what it has been doing the past few weeks. They should overwhelm Stanford fairly easily but still can’t let their guard down.
The last two points aren’t really keys, this game should be won pretty handily for the Irish, they will be about the future of this season. Coming out of this game healthy will be a big key. If the Irish wan to break their CFP losing streak, they will need to be at full strength because if they do sneak it, it will most likely be as the final team in. Losing another key player like Kyle Hamilton would hurt massively.
Hope for chaos
With Cincinnati already winning Friday night, one potential hurdle has moved another week closer to the finish line. Ohio State and Michigan play The Game and we are impartial to the winner due to both of them already having one loss. It’s highly doubtful that Georgia Tech defeats Georgia and Auburn defeats Alabama, but they would then face off against each other in the SEC championship game. One of them will lose, we’d rather see it be the Crimson Tide so they can get a second loss. The Irish could very well sneak into the CFP again, a feat many of us didn’t think as possible after the loss to the Bearcats earlier this year. We are rooting for as much chaos as possible.

Stress is one of the things that contributes the most to the aging process. plays a role in a wide range of health related issues, from your blood pressure level to your skin. It’s hard to feel young when you are having high stress levels. That is why minimizing stress should be high on your list of priorities if you would like to delay aging. Among the best ways to lower stress include meditation, aromatherapy and regular workout.
It’s also crucial not to let day-to-day stress build up. If you are feeling stressed about work, finances or even traffic, take a deep breath and remind yourself that this stuff is not worth getting old over. You can find exercise program information such as Power 90 reviews online.
You cannot overlook your skin when looking for potent anti aging tips . Taking good care of your skin isn’t really hard, but it does take regular attention. You must clean and moisturize your face daily, and use products that are appropriate for your type of skin. One of your best allies for creating the right kind of skin care regimen is your dermatologist. Vitamin D is a vitamin that your entire body needs, and your skin notably. You could get Vitamin D from food or capsules but the sun is the best natural way to obtain it. The latest research indicates that, while too much sun exposure is unsafe, a few minutes every day is good.
Your body requires some types of fats, and these are also essential for anti aging purposes. There are a number of ways to get much more healthy fats in your diet. Given that one of the richest sources of Omega-3 fats are fish, you can either take in more seafood or take fish oil . Another way to get a lot more of these essential fats in your diet is to eat nuts. Besides consuming nuts as a snack, you can actually try various nut butters. You don’t need to limit this to peanut butter, since you can also consume almond, cashew and sunflower butter.
Medical advancements may soon make it possible for us to live a lot longer not age as fast. For the time being, however, all we could do is practice healthy living so that we age as gradually as possible. The more you practice these anti aging tips, the more benefit you will get from them.
I love sharing information about health and fitness with all of you. Hopefully you will read my Power 90 review and other ideas on my website, yourfitnessexpert.org. I am a huge fan of Power 90 and would really enjoy hearing your comments about the program and any others that you have tried.

Chris25, that Lupin treatment sounds a bit drastic. I would not bother with the pre-soaking, just plant the seeds into modules or small pots. I sow mine in the autumn, and then they are ready to be planted out the following Spring.
Neither Lupins or foxgloves come true from seed.

The Snobby Butcher – Breakfast – Nottingham (Sherwood)
Sherwood’s rise has somewhat plateaued, its still a high-street boasting gems like The Bakehouse, Rakki Rakkas and Rikshaw but no recent openings of note. Indeed I have been a bit underwhelmed by last year’s new drinks venues of Jenkins and Hugo’s, preferring to patronise Bridgette Bordeaux when I do get a chance. The Snobby Butcher has technically been around much longer but is a mix of old and new, the owner Johnny Pusztai’s family having set up the shop decades ago. For most of those years it was know as JT Beedham’s. Today’s name and look is much newer alongside a recent addition of being able to eat in. Evening dining options I believe are currently limited due to some chef issues but I finally got the opportunity to give breakfast there a go. It’s a simple eating space still in sight of the butchers counter with a small menu, meat dominated, from which to choose. Despite the traditional “full English” or various bacon roll options I was tempted by a breakfast stack (£8) that promises bacon, egg, sausage and black pudding served on bread or a crumpet.
Alongside my impending meat-fest I’d gone for a flat white that was serviceable, just not a patch on what you could get further up the hill. The food certainly stood out more. Each layer of this stack was substantial, the bacon came in burger form though how it was constituted I wasn’t too sure. Couldn’t fault it though apart from perhaps missing the firmer texture of a rasher. Sausage was nicely spiced in its amber hue, whilst not overpowering anything else. Black pudding too was excellent quality, a serious hockey puck of it was much more delicate in flavour than you might imagine and a softer texture a nice contrast to the other meats. If anything the crumpet wasn’t quite enough for my perfect meat/carb ratio but I’m sure others will beg to differ. What no-one could argue with is that this was a flavourful and filling breakfast.
Throughout my meal Johnny was charming fellow diners and shop customers alike. The produce here is clearly excellent but the character of the man himself must be a factor in their popularity. The young staff are not the most confident or polished but its endearing and doesn’t detract from the experience. There isn’t really anywhere else like the Snobby Butcher. It is honest, and straightforward and I was more than happy to spend my money here over the more polished experiences in Sherwood.

This Helsinki’s new South Harbor proposal, designed by Macyauski Research & Design, is envisioned as the iconic gateway into the heart of the city that serves its tourists and travelers aesthetically and effectively. Its strong urban connection between the waterfront and the city has been simplified to efficiently activate Helsinki’s South Harbor. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Programmatically the required terminals have been concentrated into one fluid and pristine envelope. The museum, tourist center, and market place have been redesigned to respond to its contextual adjacencies while remaining within the language set forth by the terminal.
The proposed landscape transforms its pre-existing industrial zone into a modern public plaza, market place and urban park that provides the residents of Helsinki with an activated urban environment. The sheer size of the site’s perimeter allows for users to experience the project while exercising along a 4K elevated jogging and bike path. Views to and from the site are carefully considered to not impede any previous vantage points from Helsinki’s historic buildings and harbor.

When automated license plate recognition (ALPR) technology was introduced in the 1990’s it was initially adopted by public safety departments to enhance their enforcement and investigative capabilities. Today, you’ll find the technology in toll plazas, airport parking structures and, increasingly, on school grounds and college campuses as leaders look for ways to enhance security, add value, create efficiencies and improve the customer experience.
Enhance security.ALPR helps to extend the reach of security teams. If there’s a known individual that’s banned from campus, for example, and a license plate can be associated with that person, the system can send an immediate alert if that car is driven by a camera or parking truck equipped with an ALPR scanner. If an incident does happen, ALPR technology can help lead to the capture or conviction of a criminal. If a witness got a partial license plate number following an incident, the system can be queried to show all plates showing those letters or numbers, and indicate the time and location of all matching vehicles.
Add value.ALPR can positively impact your bottom line two ways: By cutting costs and by generating revenue. ALPR can help you save labor and materials costs associated with parking administration. Instead of issuing paper permits to employees, students, staff or contractors, your parking patrons can buy permits online based on their license plate number. One university saved $30,000 in administrative labor and materials in its first year of ALPR implementation. On that same campus, ALPR is also helping administrators generate new revenue. Because it tracks exact parking capacity, the college is able to issue and sell more parking permits than it previously thought possible: 200 more permits in its first year, increasing revenue by 10 percent.
Increase parking enforcement efficiency.Parking operations that use license plates as credentials can help make staffing more efficient. And because all permitting takes place digitally, complex permit rights can be programmed in the software and safely tucked away so that seemingly complex rules are all located in the cloud. Customers only need to know where they’re allowed to park and how many vehicles they can have present at one time. Frontline staff and officers only need to know how the software works to determine if someone is authorized to park or has a permit for a specific location. Proper programming means the system tells the team whether the vehicle is in compliance.
Improve the customer experience.When a customer or visitor drives onto your campus, one question is top of mind: “Where can I park?” ALPR helps you deliver an answer, automatically. As ALPR software tracks parking lot occupancy, it can be programmed to display availability on message boards in real-time. If the driver’s first choice is at capacity, the message will direct them to the next available location.

Saltwater spinning reels were once primarily the domain of small- and medium-game fishing, but recent innovations in metallurgy and design have made them a player in big-game fishing as well. Advances in drag systems, gearing and line capacities mean your spinner can win encounters with wahoo, amberjack, grouper, sailfish and other big game while still shining during the surf fishing and jigging theyre best known for. TackleDirects saltwater spinning reels from Shimano, Penn, Van Staal and others are tough, lightweight and durable for handling nearly any fishing application.
Our spinning reels are made from quality metals such as aluminum, stainless steel and brass, with precision-machined single-piece frames. Choose from low speed reels for bass and redfish, high speed reels for game fish, and even two speed reels to rapidly recover slack line if a big fish makes a quick turn. Spinning reels can be found for using monofilament line, braided line or both, with varying length and test strength capacities. As a longtime family-operated business, we have the personal fishing tackle knowledge to help you select the saltwater spinning reel right for your unique needs and budget.

The term "talc" has four complementary meanings:
- Talc is a mineral: it is hydrated magnesium silicate.
- Talc is a rock known as steatite or soapstone, which is composed of varying proportions of the mineral talc, often combined with other minerals such as chlorite and carbonate.
- Talc is an industrial raw material in powder form, which is used in a wide range of applications.
- Talc is a cosmetic powder. This is its most widely known application—but one of the smallest in terms of consumption.
Geology and Occurrence
Talc deposits always result from the transformation of existing rocks under hydrothermal activity. Through this process, the components (MgO, SiO2, H2O) required for forming the parent rock into talc are brought by hydrothermal water. The size and the geometry of the final deposit depend upon the size and nature of the parent rock, and the intensity and scale of the phenomenon. The geological context required for such a transformation to occur is known as a low to medium temperature and pressure metamorphism. Tectonic movements always play a major role: earth movements allow the hydrothermal fluid to penetrate the mother-rock, generating permeability that makes reactions inside the rock mass possible. The surrounding pressure, either at the time of the transformation or at a later stage, determines the mineral's degree of platyness, otherwise known as lamellarity (low pressure/low lamellarity, high pressure/high lamellarity).
The type of mineralisation depends essentially on the nature of the parent rock. Talc deposits are classified according to the parent rock from which they derive. There are four types of talc deposits:
- Deriving from magnesium carbonates. More than half of world production comes from this kind of deposit, found in ancient metamorphosed carbonate sequences. This talc is generally pure and white.
- Deriving from serpentines. This type of deposit provides about 20% of the world’s talc. Here, the crude ore is always grey but can be up-graded—generally using flotation techniques—to improve mineralogy and whiteness.
- Deriving from alumino-silicate rocks. About 10% of world production comes from these deposits. They are sometimes found in combination with magnesium carbonate deposits. The crude ore is generally grey due to the presence of chlorite (another phyllosilicate), but no up-grading is generally necessary as chlorite, like talc, is a functional mineral conferring benefits to a number of industrial applications.
- Deriving from magnesium sedimentary deposits. Talc is formed by direct transformation of magnesium clays. No deposits belonging to this category are currently being mined.
This wide diversity of origin and types naturally gives rise to a wide variety of ores and product grades, which differ according to their mineralogical composition, colour and crystalline structure (micro-crystalline or lamellar).
Talc is a natural mineral (Mg3Si4 O10(OH)2 - molecular weight 379.26). As shown in the opposite figure, its elementary sheet is composed of a layer of magnesium-oxygen/hydroxyl octahedra, sandwiched between two layers of tetrahedral silica. The main surfaces, known as basal surfaces, of the elementary sheet contain neither hydroxyl groups nor active ions, making talc both hydrophobic and inert.
The size of an individual talc platelet i.e. a few thousand elementary sheets, can vary from approximately 1 micron to over 100 microns depending on the conditions of formation of the deposit. It is this individual platelet size that determines a talc's lamellarity. A highly lamellar talc will have large individual platelets whereas a microcrystalline talc will have small platelets.
The elementary sheets are stacked on top of one another, like flaky pastry, and because the binding forces (known as Van de Waal's forces) linking one elementary sheet to its neighbours are very weak, the platelets slide apart at the slightest touch, giving talc its characteristic softness.
Talc is odourless. It is insoluble in water and in weak acids and alkalis. Although talc has a marked affinity for certain organic chemicals, it generally has very little chemical reactivity. It is neither explosive nor flammable. Above 900°C, talc progressively loses its hydroxyl groups and above 1050°C, it re-crystallises into different forms of enstatite (anhydrous magnesium silicate). Talc's melting point is at 1500°C.
Talcs differ according to their mineralogical composition, i.e. the type and proportion of associated minerals present. The most common mineral found with talc is chlorite, which is structurally and chemically very similar. Dolomite and magnesite are also often present. As we have seen above, talcs also differ in their degree of lamellarity.
People always think of talc as white but it can also be grey, green, blue, pink and even black.
Basically, talc is many talcs.
Talc shows an affinity for certain organic chemicals. It is therefore organophilic. In the case of talc's affinity for polypropylene, a likely explanation is that the position of the oxygen atoms on the surface of the talc platelet corresponds to the carbon bonds on the surface of the polypropylene crystal.
Talc's organophilic properties are used to great benefit in a number of applications, for instance, it helps polypropylene to crystallise. In papermaking, the talc particles attract the undesirable resin droplets, i.e. organic chemicals, in the pulp onto their surface. This is known as pitch control. In body powder applications, perfume, also organic, is adsorbed onto the talc surface and retained.
Functions and Applications
The five main properties of talc that make it a unique substance for industrial and domestic applications are:
- Lamellarity (composed of platelets that slide off each other)
- Softness (unctuous and non abrasive)
- Chemical inertness
- Affinity for organic chemicals
Talc is used as an anti-sticking agent, an anti-caking agent, a lubricant, a carrier, a thickener, a strengthening filler, a smooth filler, and an adsorbent.
In many industrial processes, talc is used to prevent two materials from sticking together. Talc powdering of moulds is widely used for example in tyre manufacturing or foundry applications. Certain foodstuffs or conveyor belts are also powdered with talc, to excellent effect. Similarly, chip boards are powdered to stop them from sticking together in storage.
Talc is extensively used in animal feed. It wraps each feed particle, setting up a natural barrier that stops moisture escaping from or entering the treated feed. Talc also improves the fluidity of the material, which helps to keep equipment clean (minimising bacteria proliferation), lowers energy consumption, reduces production stoppages, and makes the operator’s job safer.
Talc is used as a lubricant in pharmaceuticals for example. As well as not reacting with active ingredients, it facilitates the ingestion of solid drugs (pills, powders, etc). Talc also helps mould and demould pills. It is widely used as a lubricant in the transport of dry materials.
The chemical inertness of talc is of obvious interest for carrier applications. Excipients in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics (dry or moist) are a classic example. Apart from its inertness, talc also has the advantage of not generating bacterial growth and of releasing fragrances progressively. Carriers are also critical in applications such as fertilisers and plant protection. Adding talc to active ingredients results in a well-managed release, allowing the practical and safe handling of very small and very large quantities of active substances.
Talc is able to influence the viscosity of water- and solvent- based formulations. In paints for example, it increases covering power, improves flow and prevents settling. It also improves the adhesion and final mechanical properties of the coating. Talc enables paints, with the necessary low viscosities, to be formulated with significantly less organic solvents. The use of talc in the formulation of a range of liquid products (paint, cosmetics, glues, etc.) also contributes to controlling sedimentation rates during storage.
Talc is used to reinforce various types of resins, principally polypropylene (PP). Although the talc used in such applications is finely ground, it nevertheless maintains its lamellar structure. This gives the PP the best trade-off between rigidity and impact strength. Applications include domestic appliances, food packaging films and, above all, automotive components such as bumpers and dashboards. Talc is also used as a semi-reinforcing filler in rubber. Talc's properties bring benefits to ceramics (household, construction, refractory and technical). It reduces firing time and temperature, improves vitrification and consequently the resistance of the ceramic. It also improves thermal shock resistance, particularly important in catalytic exhausts.
Talc's smoothness is appreciated in products that require suppleness and smoothness. A typical example is colouring pencils which, for a smooth and regular effect, must be robust, but at the same time softer than the paper. In terms of volume, talc is also the principal ingredient in putties, particularly polyester putties where it improves adhesion and sandability.
Talc's adsorption properties, i.e. adsorbing onto the surface only, are key in a number of applications, particularly pitch control in paper making where talc is used to absorb organic impurities (pitch, unwanted anions) which are sticky. Talc also greatly improves printing runnability. As a filler in paper, it increases smoothness and machinability, reduces friction, abrasion and porosity. In paper coating, it helps to improve ink transfer, finish feel and legibility of printing. Talc's adsorption properties are also valuable in the treatment of waste water by the activated sludge method. Providing an adequate support surface, talc platelets actually "ballast" the bacteria used in such treatments, thereby improving sedimentation and avoiding the release of bacteria in the final clean effluent.
The following table gives a non-exhaustive list of the main registries in which talc and chlorite are listed. Depending on the registries, substances may be given an inventory number or simply be listed.

Nan Coffin’s clay career began in central Indiana in the mid-1970’s. She is a self-taught potter, although many influences have come from other potters, books, trade journals, and the many clay workshops and conferences she has attended. Nan moved to southern Indiana in the mid ‘80s and started Log Creek Pottery and studio gallery. At Log Creek Pottery she made a variety of functional wares, from majolica to stoneware and porcelain woodfired pottery.
In 2001, Nan relocated to San Diego where she continues as a studio potter, sharing clay and kilns with her potter husband, Richard Burkett. Nan also worked with the Studio Potter Network, helping to coordinate efforts of studio potters, guilds and organizations. More recently she has been the Vice President of the San Diego Potters' Guild.
When she can, she enjoys working on projects in the Amazon basin of Ecuador with Richard Burkett and Joe Molinaro (a professor at Eastern Kentucky University), working to photographically document the indigenous pottery cultures that region of Ecuador.

A carpenter bee with a mostly black abdomen. (Ysmad.com CC BY-SA 3.0)
Carpenter bees, also called black bees due to their appearance, are beneficial insects in the wild. They pollinate flowers and benefit humans by pollinating food crops. However, these bees are also destructive since they burrow into wood when building nests. They leave holes in wooden fascia, decks and other wood structures and bring down your home's visual appearance.
Carpenter bees are called many different things: wood bees, wood boring bees and, of course, nuisance pests. They look very similar to bumblebees but vary in appearance. A bumblebee has a fuzzy body due to thousands of small hairs covering it from head to abdomen. It also has black and yellow bands across the length of its body.
A carpenter bee doesn't have as many hairs as the bumblebee. The abdomen is shiny black in appearance, and the fuzzy yellow and black color is usually only seen on its head and back. Whereas bumblebees are social insects that live in colonies, carpenter bees are solitary insects that burrow holes in wood.
Everyone who owns a home or lives in an apartment building has seen carpenter bees flying around the patio and the exterior walls. They're looking for places to burrow and to build nests for their young. You don't have to do anything to get carpenter bees around your home. All you need is wood, and the carpenter bees will show up.
Carpenter bee control is vital to keep your home from looking like an eyesore. One way to prevent these pests from chewing holes in the wood is to use a pretreated wood when building new decks or replacing wood surfaces on your home. You can also spray a carpenter bee insecticide on the surfaces to kill them and to keep them away.
Getting rid of carpenter bees is easy when you have a plan and the right products from Pedchem. Whether you're dealing with a few bees or a massive infestation, we have insecticides to deal with nuisance bees and to keep them from ruining your property.

"The NoninConnect offers significant advantages over other consumer pulse oximeters for personal health management," said Mark VanderWerf, Vice President eHealth, for Nonin Medical.
"The NoninConnect is made with the same Nonin medical-grade pulse oximetry technology that we build into our professional pulse oximeters for patients, clinicians and the military. So consumers benefit from the same clinically proven accuracy - but without needing a doctor's prescription," VanderWerf said.
"In addition, the NoninConnect is made in America and built to rugged durability standards. And because the NoninConnect uses the new Bluetooth Smart low-energy wireless technology, users don't have to sideline their phone with a cumbersome cable just to transfer their data. They also don't need to drain their phone battery just to power their pulse oximeter," he said.
PRODUCT ADVANTAGES INCLUDE:
-- Easy-to-read, large, clear user-facing display
-- Long battery life - allows for up to 2,200 spot checks on two AAA batteries
-- Simplified wireless pairing to Bluetooth-Smart-ready mobile devices:
- No need to pre-pair or enter numbers
- Pairing to Apple iOS is simplified; no authentication chip required
- Pairing to Google Android and Microsoft Windows operating systems is available upon request
-- Nonin CorrectCheck(TM) Finger Placement Technology - provides feedback via a digital display if user's finger is not placed correctly in the device
-- Nonin SmartPoint(TM) Capture and Send Technology - automatically determines when a high-quality measurement is ready to be wirelessly transmitted
-- The NoninConnect pulse oximetry software demo application can be downloaded from the App Store in the Apple iTunes Store

- About Us
It takes war to end wars
I am against war, in all of its fashions and forms. Like most people, I harbor this hope: that war will eventually wear itself out and find no place on earth in which to function. In the meantime, war is here, now, and we are wrapped up in several of them.
To that point, if we are so involved in ever evolving conflicts, I want our folks to win. Not just the wars themselves, but all of the battles, engagements, etc., that make up the bloody matrix that is the sum of war.
I have come to understand that getting to the end of war is a process. To get there, all of the wars to come must be fought first, and I wish for the U.S. to fight them well, to be the best trained, most able to survive, and the most courageous under fire.
I say let the jets fly where they must, and learn to be the best there is in all circumstances and conditions. War is noisy stuff and we should be able to make the most noise, rather than become whispers in a jet storm.

"The biggest obstacle is how distrustful people and local institutions are of collaboration," laments ABC's Mondros. Behind her, taped to the sliding-glass door to her office, is a post-9/11 souvenir, a full-page ad from the New York Daily News declaring, "I Love New York More Than Ever."
"[In Miami-Dade County]," she sighs, "there are little fiefdoms. People are afraid of throwing in with you." Mondros cites a recent example. "We tried to start a health-access program in this neighborhood, but we couldn't get the public schools [we had targeted] and the neighborhood clinic on the same page, so we ended up changing [community] partners, moving to different schools."
If ABC's good intentions have been met in some quarters with undue skepticism, it is also true that Barry's continuing expansion is a legitimate source of worry for area residents, particularly local merchants who find themselves on the frontlines of the university's northern offensive.
In early 2001 Barry informed the commercial tenants of a two-story strip mall the school owns two blocks from campus, at the intersection of NE Second Avenue and 117th Street, that it planned to convert the building into office space for, among other things, the growing ABC. The school gave the six Haitian-owned businesses, including a restaurant, a small grocery store, and a sewing-machine repair shop, a two-month deadline for vacating the property.
"Barry came and said they wanted to improve things, make changes," remembers Bevens Durandis, owner of Best Deal Sewing-Machine Repair, a ten-year tenant. "We tried to find alternate spaces for them," explains Rolando Barrios, ABC's director of neighborhood revitalization, "but none of the proprietors really wanted to look."
Instead, they went to Leroy Jones for help. Jones, director of the Neighbors and Neighbors Association, an activist support group for black merchants, was struck by the irony of the situation. "Barry was going to put six businesses out of business to help businesses [through ABC's programs]," smirks Jones. "It didn't make sense."
Jones, who relishes his status as a known firebrand, approached the university on behalf of the business owners. "I asked Barry if they were going to give these people some financial assistance," he remembers. "They said, “No, we're giving them two months.'" (Barry University maintains it waived rent for the tenants after notifying them in February 2001 they would have to move.) Jones, however, says there was more at stake than simply the well-being of the merchants. "The [chain] convenience store across the street," he notes, "doesn't sell Haitian products like Green Variety [one of the businesses that faced eviction]. Where were people from the neighborhood going to buy those things?"
Jones initiated a grassroots campaign, handing out flyers and urging area residents to complain directly to the school. "One day," he says, flashing a gold-tooth-capped grin, "I knew Barry couldn't take incoming calls, the phones were so tied up."
He also contacted O'Laughlin directly. "When I wrote Sister Jeanne," recounts Jones, "I told her that was a good thing she had done for Elian, who's not even a citizen of this country. But what about these six businesses, their nineteen employees, and their kids?"
Jones hit a nerve. O'Laughlin made a personal visit to the property. "She came and said she wanted to know if the business owners were “real,'" recalls Jones, still miffed by the protracted negotiation. "What the fuck does that mean?"
Eventually Barry agreed to grant the existing tenants three-year leases, with two additional one-year options. Jones credits his campaign. "I whupped Barry's ass," he crows, before adding the episode is probably the beginning of a long fight. "They're not buying up the neighborhood as quickly as other schools [around the nation]," says Jones of Barry, "but they're buying."
It would be hard to argue with Jones. The two-block stretch of NE Second Avenue north of the campus already includes, besides the strip mall, the ABC offices, Barry's School of Podiatry, and the Barry University Villa, a motel that years ago was converted into university housing. In addition the school owns eleven houses around the immediate perimeter of its campus, on NE 111th and 115th streets.
And administrators do not appear averse to buying more. "The owner of that [other] strip mall [on NE Second Avenue] has let it go to the dogs," observes Tim Czerniec, referring to the scene of O'Laughlin's 1992 mugging. "We don't own it," he sighs, "but I wish we did."
If Barry appears to some to be talking out of both sides of its mouth -- or perhaps, with two separate voices, one emanating from the school's business offices, the other from its do-good agency, ABC -- officials at ABC maintain that ultimately what's good for the school, including campus expansion, will be good for the community. "The Upper Eastside," says Mondros, referring to the newly rediscovered and already prohibitively expensive neighborhoods of Belle Meade and Morningside to the south, "is a gentrification movement. We're doing something different here." Rolando Barrios agrees. "We're encouraging businesses that can support the needs of both residents and students."
Which doesn't mean businesses like Bevens Durandis's sewing-machine repair shop. Sewing machines may be fairly common in immigrant, working-class homes, where women often do alteration work to earn a little extra money or to save their families the expense of a tailor, but college students and administrators have no use for them. On the other hand, it wouldn't be hard to imagine a computer store in the space where Durandis's business currently resides.

Delana and Samuel Curtis — a marriage not made in heaven
Delana Harrington of Manchester led a privileged existence. She had charm and good looks, and her family’s financial resources were available to enable her to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. However, she was not satisfied. Delana was a restless adventurer who was in love with the finer things in life, and she always wanted more. She could not be content with the security of quiet respectability, especially once she caught the eye of the famous ale maker, entrepreneur, and politician Frank Jones of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Delana and Frank began a close relationship when she was only 17 years old and living at boarding school. At some point this liaison became intimate. Delana may have seen her association with Frank Jones in a romantic light, but she was essentially playing the role of mistress to a powerful married man who was 20 years her senior. This was a precarious situation for a young lady, especially one of her high social status.
Delana and Frank spent time together in Portsmouth and New Castle, New Hampshire, as well as in Boston, New York, and Washington, D.C. Frank’s wife Martha eventually became suspicious, and as time went on Delana must have begun to worry — or at least her mother was growing more and more concerned. What would become of Delana if she didn’t settle down? Around 1879 Delana met a handsome and well-dressed young man, Samuel Fray Curtis. He was originally from Hatfield, a small town in western Massachusetts. Samuel had come to Manchester to seek his fortune. He had risen to become manager and part owner of a clothing store on Elm Street. He and Delana were married in Manchester on April 12, 1880. Delana was 28 and Samuel was 29. The marriage appears to have been doomed from the start. A friend of the Harrington family was interviewed by a reporter for the Boston Sunday Post for an article that was published on January 8, 1904. The woman had been a witness at the Harrington/Curtis wedding and she recalled Delana’s private words to her, “My God, I wish I was to be buried instead of married, for I don’t love the man I am going to marry today. It is all to please my mother. There is only one man in the world I love, and him I can’t have.”
In the early years of their marriage, Samuel and Delana Curtis lived in the Harrington family home on Hanover Street. Delana gave birth to daughter Margaret Mae Curtis in January 1881. In 1885 the couple built a large house at 1705 Elm Street, on the southeast corner of Salmon and Elm streets (now a vacant lot). At the same time Delana’s mother Margaret built the beautiful Queen-Anne style house nearby at 45 Bay Street. Delana’s brother Edward W. Harrington, Jr., the manager and treasurer of the Manchester Opera House, also lived there.
In future years much would be written about Frank Jones’ association with Delana Harrington Curtis. The published articles are consistent in mentioning that this relationship was a continuous one over many years, so it can only be concluded that Delana must have been carrying on with Frank during the time she was married to Samuel Curtis. It was widely rumored that Margaret Mae was Frank’s daughter, something that Delana neither confirmed nor denied.
Samuel became deeply troubled, and took up drinking. He lost his management position and the part ownership of the clothing store, and ended up as a mere salesman at the establishment. His financial woes led him to borrow over $1,900 from his brother-in-law Edward, which he never paid back. Finally, in 1895 Samuel abandoned what little was left of his marriage and took off for New York City. Delana soon divorced him on the grounds of desertion.
Secure in her personal and family wealth, Delana now felt free to flaunt her special friendship with Frank Jones. She would entertain him at her house on Elm Street when he was in Manchester on business. He demonstrated his appreciation and affection by extensively remodeling and improving Delana’s property. Frank installed electric lighting and added a tall tower to the house. He also added a pleasant wide veranda to Delana’s yard.

When I am given a book with the words "But beware the perception of women in there", I'm imbued with a healthy scepticism up front. Hence, I was a little biased when I took up The War... Paint The Warnted Man, there we go! Problem solved. But I'll try not to focus too much on this aspect.
The Warnted Man is described in the blurp (OMG, how cute is that word!!) of the German edition as an "Epic of proportions of the Lord of the Rings" and I'm positively sure I'm not mean when I claim that it isn't. It might change over the course of the series, but I'm confident I can get a glimpse into the tone of a story on 800 pages. And there is little Lord of the Rings. It would be Lord of the Rings if Elves would have been assholes and the Companions had greeted Galadriel by waving their penises in front of her.
That doesn't mean it is bad. It's just no Lord of the Rings but Lord of the Rings -- sorry to break it to you -- isn't the only and not even the best Fantasy Epic there is. But my dislike of marketing comparisons aside: The mythology is interesting, the story more or less predictable and the image the author paints of humanity is bloodcurdling.
So let's first have a look into the mythology, because any good critique starts off with the good points. The world of The Warnted Man is haunted by the Corelings, demons rising from the ground at night. Humans can guard themselves of their savage attacks by drawing circles of wards - protective signs - on their houses and the ground. The art of fighting with the help of wards has been lost in a period of peace and scientific progress. The last hope is the promise of a redeemer figure said to lift the curse.
I can work with that.
The book is written quite pleasantly and the chapters and paragraphs have a good length and are varied enough for me to not start skipping pages. At least in the first half or so. The last third drags a little, but the finale is exciting enough to make up for it.
We accompany three young people on their journey: Arlen, a farmer's boy (hehe), who pledges himself to battling the demons after the horrific death of his mother; Leesha, who sadly bled to death after her first menstruation - uh, I mean who opts for a life as a healer and finally Rojer, a very unlucky gleeman who has los his parents to the demons.
To me, the plot was more or less obvious when the redeemer was said to wear "signs on his skin". Well. Considering the title, I don't think it was supposed to be a surprise. I don't have to point out, which one of our three heroes comes up with the brilliant idea of getting a ward tattoo, do I? The characters were alright and sufficiently motivated, only Rojer kept slipping my grasp. I never quite bonded with him. Maybe that's because we are told the most cruel events in his life from another point of view or because his nature as a jokester dims the clarity of his character, but I didn't really get him. Leesha, finding honour and respect as a healer, was sometimes a little out of character and -- as the single female protagonist - somewhat problematic. Arlen is your archetypical messiah figure who, from the very beginning, denies all profit in order to help all humanity. He's probably the only genuinely relatable person in all of Brett's world.
The typical nursing occupation of Leesha, which allows women to rise to heroines within the boundaries of social expectations, is described as hard work, which is of great importance for Leesha to not end as utterly irrelevant. I first liked the approach to her character as someone who denies the child-bearing obligations everyone in Brett's world pushes on women with her self-chosen chastity. Until she meets Arlen, of course, because she then has to become a romantic interest for him. Her sudden change of mind comes to her after she is sexually assaulted which I find unlikely -- although I'm no psychologist. It's just that I don't buy into the "I'm defiled, my body is filthy, my honour is gone, God, I SO want to be impregnated by the guy with the wacky tattoos" train of thought. Maybe she's just confused. I don't know.
Arlen is, as stated earlier, the very archetype of a hero, it's almost boring. But his adventures are exciting enough for him to not having to rely on profound character revelations.
What would have intrigued me, though, is a role-reversal: A man as nurse and a woman as redeemer. It would have been quite interesting to see a basically misogynist world react to a female messiah. It would even have played out rather nicely in conjunction with the immage of motherhood that the author raised on a pedestrial. Just think about it: A pregnant woman, all alone in the woods, tries to guard her unborn child by painting her body with wards. She succeeds and tattooes them onto her body in order to defend her child with claws and teeth and grows to become a true heroine to all people. I think that would have worked just fine.
Instead, otherwise strong Leesha mutates to a meek romantic interest in the grim presence of Arlen, excuse me, I mean The Warnted Man. She and Rojer end up completely submissive towards hin and I would have loved some kind of self-reliance on their part at the very end. They could just have said: "Either you take us with you and we fight together or we go without you. We will help people. Whether you like it or not." They didn't. They begged. Pity, really.
So let's get to the juicy bit: Gender roles and general perception of humanity. We've talked about the depiction of women before. There are nuances, but in general, women are week but hard-working creatures (in the villages), despicable lifestock with reproductive options (in Kraisa), or not really worth anything until they have given birth, but then they are at the top of the society (in Miln). As soon as they turn twelve or thirteen, they can't imagine anything more fulfilling than marrying and having lots and lots of children. Otherwise, they are lecherous nymphomaniacs. The author is wont to say "Leesha, there is no shame in wanting a man between your legs", but the rest of the book speaks another language: Sex is only approved of if it happens within a monogamous relationship and preferably with intent to repoduce.
But more shocking than the depiction of women is the depiction of men: Safe for Arlen, almost all other men are pushy, horny bastards who turn into violent jerks as soon as they see a somewhat pretty woman. Well, there are some greedy merchants, religious fanatics and traitors. There are one or two male characters with some merit to them, but over all, they look like instinct-driven sex-fiends.
Which is a rather sad picture for all humanity, don't you think? The strangely comforting thing about Lord of the Rings was the feeling of reluctant yet unwavering solidarity. Dark Fantasy always focuses on the lone wolfs, yet painting the rest of the world as horny and/or simpering good-for-nothings is a little ... harsh. I really wanted to give a chance to the the analogies between the culture of Kraisa and islam and hoped for a positive direction, but that silver lining was taken from me with something I like to call a dick move. Although it worked for the story, the wasted potential leaves me with a stale taste in my mouth.
So I leave The Warnted Man with mixed feelings. Well crafted and written, it puts too much attention on its sad depiction of human nature by focusing on social conflict rather than on the battles against the demons. (Right, there were demons! Totally forgot about those!) With that, it just misses my taste. But due to the interesting mythology and as I still have hope for improvement, I'll have a look at the second book of the series.

An ancient city complete with fast food restaurants, taverns, brothels, mansions, running water, a market, an amphitheater and a port… doesn’t really sound ancient at all. However, the city of Pompeii is nearly 2,000 years old. It is hard to adequately describe how incredible it is to walk the streets of this wonderfully preserved city. Don’t worry, though, I have plenty of pictures.
Just in case you need a history refresher, Pompeii is near the Italian city of Naples. It was destroyed and buried under nearly 20 feet of ash when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. When the city was found nearly 1,500 years after the eruption, it was largely unchanged. This is because the ash covering the city kept air and moisture from reaching the objects below. It has been a widely popular tourist destination for nearly 250 years.
My husband and I visited Pompeii when we were staying in Rome. We booked a full day tour through Viator. We left Rome bright and early in the morning on a coach bus of about 25 other tourists. We had two very animated tour guides to keep us entertained on the bus ride and guide us as we hiked to the top of Mount Vesuvius. For Pompeii, we had a tour guide from Naples come in to show us through the ancient city. He was also wonderful to listen to, and gave us plenty of great information.
My only regret about this tour of Pompeii was we didn’t get very much time to wander the city on our own…I think we only had about 10 minutes, actually. It was rather rushed, to make sure we were not holding up other tours and to make sure we still had time to hike Mount Vesuvius and get back to Rome at a decent time. I understand why the tour guide had to keep us moving, but it made it a bit harder to really take in just how incredible it is that we are standing inside of a 2,000-year-old city. That being said, we never would have noticed half of the things our tour guide pointed out to us if we had tried to wander the city on our own (such as, the picture below).
One of the stops on our tour was an ancient brothel. It was complete with a “menu” of what patrons could order. Pompeii was a port city and had many visitors who did not speak the same language. Therefore, paintings inside the brothel showed what the visitors could ask for, and there was some male anatomy pointing you in the correct direction of the brothel. I also thought it was interesting that this brothel had stone beds. This is because the ladies did not want their customers to get too comfortable and fall asleep after they stumbled in from the local tavern. Below are pictures of this brothel, and obviously, there are some sexual ones. So, you’ve been warned, haha.
Pompeii’s Brothel Photo Gallery
Our tour of Pompeii also took us to a wealthy resident’s home, which had many rooms and beautiful paintings. The most interesting part of this home, though, in my opinion, is the home that was found underneath it. Archaeologists discovered an even older home that the residents of Pompeii had built over. Below is a picture gallery of this site.
Wealthy Home Photo Gallery
When many people think of Pompeii, the first things to come to mind are usually the plaster casts of the bodies of Pompeii’s residents. Below are some of the photos I took of these casts.
The Plaster Casts of Pompeii
This last photo gallery is a little bit of everything from Pompeii…such as overlooking the city, to the gladiators’ barracks, to the plumbing that Pompeii had. Interestingly enough, the pipes they had were lead and the people of Pompeii were aware of the adverse health effects lead had on them…but they continued to use them anyways. I had no idea they had running water 2,000 years ago until I took this tour!
The final leg of our tour took us to the very top of Mount Vesuvius. We drove up a good portion of it. However, there is a point where vehicles are no longer allowed, after that it’s all on foot. It was about a 20 minute walk to the top. I like to think I am in good shape, but I was quite winded by the time we made it to the top. Walking up a steep, active volcano is hard work (and going down that steep incline was rather difficult too)! There were some spectacular views of Naples and the inside of the crater once we made it to the top, though. It was pretty awesome to see the gases coming out of the volcano, and a little unnerving to know that it’s due to erupt one of these days.
Mount Vesuvius Photo Gallery
Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius were an incredible day trip to take from Rome. If you have the time while you’re in Italy, Pompeii is a must stop. Also, Naples is known for its amazing pizza and it would be a shame to miss out on that too (Naples pizza was my favorite pizza. Yum!). Click here for more info on the tour we took. If anyone has any questions about Pompeii, let me know in the comments. Happy traveling!

Tiny shows off her new earrings
Tameka "Tiny" Harris celebrated her 37th birthday surrounded by friends and family in Atlanta. Take a look!
It was a very happy birthday for Tiny, who held a bash at Davios Restaurant in Atlanta recently. Not only did she get to spend her day with hubby T.I., their kids and lots of other loved ones, she got to chow down on an amazing cake! Oh and she received more than $1 million worth of jewelry, so we’re sure that helped.
Check out pics from the party when you flip through the slideshow below!

I’ve only had one ferret in my lifetime, but I would totally have more if I was able to. I adored that little gal and had a blast raising her. I took care of her mother and siblings for a friend who went on vacation and was offered the pick of the litter when my friend came back. Of course, I picked the runt of the bunch, like always. I learned quite a few things about ferrets before taking on the ferret-sitting job. Here are just 7 tips on caring for ferrets that I thought I’d share with you.
7. Visit the Vet Regularly

Like all pets, ferrets need their yearly visit to the vet. Some people find a ferret’s smell to be offensive enough to look into de-scenting. Supposedly spaying or neutering a ferret will cause this odor to be less potent, as will de-scenting. My ferret was both spayed and de-scented, but she was still just as smelly as before. A regular bath was the only way to lessen this odor. Even if you aren’t getting your ferret altered in any way, taking him to the vet for a check-up is highly recommended.
6. Give Your Ferret Hard Food Instead of Soft

Most ferret food consists of hard pellets, which is necessary for keeping tartar from building up on their teeth. High quality kitten food can also be used, if your ferret turns his nose up at the ferret food. My ferret preferred kitten food over the smelly ferret pellets sold in pet stores. As long as there is at least 32 percent protein, 18 percent fat, and taurine included in the kitten food, then it has the necessary ingredients for keeping your ferret healthy.
5. Ferret-proof the Water and Food Containers

Light-weighted food and water containers aren’t very useful, since ferrets tend to knock them over constantly. I’ve also read that using a water bowl for ferrets is better, since water bottles can damage their teeth and don’t enable them to get an adequate supply of water daily. My ferret was raised using a water bottle and she lived to be 8 years old, which is the top age most ferrets reach. A heavy water bowl will allow your ferret to get plenty to drink without working hard for it, but be prepared for lots of mess. They like to wash their face from time to time and end up getting more water on the floor of the cage than on their face. I used to let my ferret play in a shallow dish of water in the bathtub. This gave her some play time in the water, but kept her cage much drier.
4. Provide Lots of Fun Places to Explore

Did you ever make cardboard houses when you were little? Ferrets love these! One of their favorite pastimes is tunneling. Use wide cardboard tubes for mailing posters, empty oatmeal containers, blankets, towels, or anything that might be able to be made into a tunnel. Make sure the ferret is safe from areas with high traffic and isn’t able to get stuck behind anything. Also, look around the room for any shelves he might be able to reach and fall off of. You’d be surprised where a ferret will end up!
3. Make the Cage Comfy

A ferret cage needs to be large enough that the ferret can run about when he must be confined. It’s difficult to make a ferret stay in his cage all the time and can actually cause him to become unhappy. Ferrets are curious, playful, and love to run around wide open spaces. The cage should be for sleeping, eating, and using the litter box. If you start to notice your ferret biting the bars of his cage or rattling them, then this is a good sign he wants out. My ferret learned how to open her cage on her own and I would come home to a fuzzy lump of balled-up ferret under my bed covers.
2. Litter Box Train before Giving Your Ferret the Run of the House

Training a ferret to use a litter box is almost easier than a puppy, in my opinion. It’s best to make sure the ferret has a well-established location before letting him out of his cage all the time. Ferrets need to relieve themselves right after waking up. Once this is out of the way, letting the ferret run around for short periods of time might be a good idea. When you know for sure that he’s going back to the litter area for his bathroom needs, then he can be a bit freer with his coming and going.
1. Clean the Litter Box Often

I never had a problem with my ferret not wanting to use her litter box. She didn’t make messes and would climb back in her cage to relieve herself. Thankfully ferrets like to use the same spot for their latrine area and will go to this spot no matter how dirty it is. However, the stench can be nearly unbearable if not cleaned regularly.
Some people can’t get past the musky odor ferrets have or their weasel-like appearance. I personally find it extremely easy to look beyond their smell and enjoy their fun-loving and inquisitive character. Plus, I think weasels are cute too! If you are thinking of getting a ferret or have recently acquired one, then be sure to do some additional reading up on them. The more informed you are, the better prepared you will be to provide a loving and exciting life for your ferret. What has been your experience with ferrets? Do you have any other tips a new ferret owner might find useful?

How does Project Blossom work? Right, so Project Blossom has got your attention and you’re keen to find out more … (I’m so excited for you!) I’ve had sooooooo many messages froRead More Read More
It’s been a while since my last blog and I’m so excited (and nervous) to be writing this post today. For some reason, I have butterflies in my tummy and my fingers are tapping away at the keyboard anxiously. This is a very personal post for me and it’s one that I have been tossing around in my mind with for months – should I write it, or shouldn’t i? Well, I’ve decided to dig deep and let the words flow. So, here goes.
I want to talk to you about something that all of us women have and that is, boobies. Yep. Breasts. Why am I so nervous talking about this subject? Well, I want to share with you my personal experience with breastfeeding, particularly how I went with the twins and the current state of my breasts and what I’m considering doing.
Before I had my first baby, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed. I had a beautiful (I didn’t think it was beautiful at the time!) natural birth with a 14 hour labour and my little lady took to the breast straight away. It was a textbook birth, my milk came in easily and while I found it challenging at times, I breastfed her for 9 months straight. When I finished breastfeeding, I noticed the toll it took on my breasts (I went from a C cup to an A cup), but to be honest – didn’t care too much about it. I knew they had done the job that nature intended them to do and I felt pretty proud of myself – as I know that a lot of mums out there struggle with feeding issues. I considered myself pretty lucky.
Two months after I finished breastfeeding, I was pregnant with the twins. I went from my A cup back up to C-D cup within a few weeks and with chronic morning sickness for five months and a one-year old toddler to look after – thinking about my chest was the last thing on my mind. Fast forward 9 months and here I was again, breastfeeding two new beautiful babies. My twins were breeched and born via c-section at 36 weeks weighing in at just over 4 pound (2kg) each. I don’t know how they escaped the special care nursery, but they did. They took to the boob straight away and I learned the art of tandem breastfeeding. My amazing midwives helped me every step of the way and I was determined once again to get into a solid feeding pattern so that my little people could grow and prosper. In those first few months, I fed two babies at a time every 3 hours. Each feed would take me 1.5hrs and I’d be lucky to get a shower in or play a quick game of hide and seek with my 19 month old toddler.
In the first month of feeding, I had enough milk to feed about four babies. My body kicked into overdrive and knew it had to produce a plentiful amount of liquid gold for my offspring. The problem was, I couldn’t keep up. I had milk leaking between feeds, I’d have to express before feeds so the twins could latch on properly, I’d have to put cabbage leaves on after my feeds and I ended up with Mastitis five times. The last two times were severe, I had raging temps, chills, shivers and abscess’s starting to form on my breasts. I was trying to even out the milk supply by switching the twins on each breast, during the feeds – but nothing was calming it down. I refused to give up. I ended up finding my flow (pardon the pun) by just delegating one baby one breast each. And it worked. My little lady had my left side and my little man had the right side. I continued to feed them for just under ten months.
I’m not going to lie, when I weaned the twins at that age, I was looking forward to getting my breasts back. To me, there’s something womanly and private about my chest area. I was looking forward to feeling like they were mine again. They had been on a very big journey and I felt like it was my turn to heal after two very close pregnancies and 19 months of breastfeeding three kids. The twins put on exceptional levels of weight, they grew into healthy little babies and again, I still to this day feel pretty proud for breastfeeding as long as I did.
A few months after I finished feeding – I started to feel very self-conscious about my chest. As my son had taken a lot more milk (and is now about 4kg heavier than his twin!!) – my right side had produced a lot more milk and it was starting to sag a lot lower than my left breast. Over time, it has now become about 3-4cm droopier than my left side. And unless I have a heavily padded bra on, it is very noticeable, even through an everyday t-shirt.
My journey to strength over the past 15 months has included a lot of self-love, physical fitness, emotional fitness and I’ve come to terms with things like excess skin and postpartum marks. But, one area I’ve never touched on in my pages – is my breasts. Why? Well, because that’s a new level of privacy and it’s not something I’ve been confident enough to talk about, until now. Why am I talking about it now? Well, it’s because I’m looking at getting surgery to reposition my right breast, lift it and get them back to their original size and shape. And, I just feel compelled to share this with you and I’d love to hear your own personal thoughts and opinions too.
I have been to several surgeons over the past year and done several consultations with them, but i didn’t want to rush this process and I’m fairly confident that I’ve found the right ‘fit’ for me in terms of a qualified plastic surgeon. I will discuss who that is once I’ve made my final decisions.
Those who know me will understand that if I do go ahead with the surgery that I’m not about to start posing in a low-cut sports bra for the world to see or suddenly pop up in a bikini taking a selfie with some DD size perky breasts in it. It’s just not me. To be honest, I won’t be posting photos of them and you probably wouldn’t even know that I’ve had them done – but as I said, I felt the pull within to share this with you and take you on my journey.
What was your experience with breastfeeding? How are you feeling now? Have you undergone breast surgery? What are your thoughts? Feel free to email me [email protected] I’d love to hear from you.

[Sumatriptan Side Effects]
THIS WEBSITE TALKS ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS AND THE POTENTIAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF HERBS, SUPPLEMENTS,
PHYTONUTRIENTS AND DRUG PRODUCTS. THIS WEBSITE ALSO TALKS ABOUT SOME POPULAR HEALTH ISSUES AND DISEASES.
ARTICLES IN THIS WEB SITE IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE ONLY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH YOUR
DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 2008. DO NOT COPY NOR TRANSFER ARTICLES TO OTHER WEBSITES NOR OTHER
Zogenix, Inc. was granted approval of the Sumavel™ DosePro™ (sumatriptan
injection) needle-free delivery system which enables subcutaneous delivery of
sumatriptan without a needle for the treatment of acute migraine. The FDA
approval of Sumavel DosePro is based on extensive efficacy and safety data
from original filings for needle-based sumatriptan injection (IMITREX®), in
addition to clinical studies conducted by Zogenix on bioequivalence, usability
and safety specific to the Sumavel DosePro combination drug/needle-free
delivery system.
The most common adverse side effects observed in controlled clinical trials
with sumatriptan injection were injection site reactions, atypical sensations
(such as feelings of tingling, warm/hot sensations), dizziness and flushing.
Most side effects lasted for only a short time. In clinical trials comparing the
safety and tolerability of Sumavel DosePro to sumatriptan injection, most
injection site reactions resolved spontaneously, with no apparent difference
between Sumavel DosePro and sumatriptan needle injection.
Sumavel DosePro should only be used where a clear diagnosis of migraine or
cluster headache has been established.
Sumavel DosePro is contraindicated in patients with ischemic heart disease or
those with symptoms consistent with ischemic heart disease. Sumavel
DosePro should not be administered to patients with cerebrovascular
syndromes, peripheral vascular disease or in patients with uncontrolled
hypertension. Very rarely, serious cardiac adverse side effects have been
reported when taking sumatriptan, including patients with no findings of
cardiovascular disease. Considering the extent of use of sumatriptan in
patients with migraine, the incidence of these side effects is extremely low.
Sumavel DosePro should not be used within 24 hours of other
ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications or other 5-HT1( )agonists
and is not generally recommended for use with selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors SNRIs or MAO
inhibitors. Sumavel DosePro should be used during pregnancy only if the
potential benefit justifies the potential risk or side effects to the fetus.

|Citrus ||04-03-2010 01:54 PM |
He is not enjoying his tail brushing....
I was brushing Citrus' tail yesterday with his new tail tamer brush (seems like it just skims over the hair as it is just like a soft body brush). He kept turning around to see what I was doing. This did not make sense to me until last night when I was reading about horses blind spot- apparently it includes the tail area.... makes sense, because he always has to look at me when I walk in back of him to the other side- wonder if he thinks I am magically disappearing and reappearing....
|riccil0ve ||04-03-2010 04:38 PM |
Then quit standing behind him and stand off to the side. o_O
|Honeysuga ||04-03-2010 08:04 PM |
No, he isn't wondering, he is looking for you because he doesn't know if you are just brushing his tail or if you have a huge hulking chainsaw ready to chop his butt off.
|MN Tigerstripes ||04-03-2010 08:57 PM |
This is why you walk right next to the horse's butt when you walk behind them. Personally I keep a hand on them the entire way around. Then they know where I am and if they do get startled aren't as likely to kick knowing I'm right there. If by chance they do kick, I'm close enough to get pushed (hard, yes) but not nailed by a flying hoof.
And yes, if you are brushing his tail stand to one side.
Then again he might be wondering if you have a giant chainsaw hidden somewhere...
|mom2pride ||04-03-2010 10:13 PM |
You may need to desensitize him to you being back there, by holding the lead rope, with his head tilted toward you, and keep touching his tail and butt area till he stops turning and trying to get away from you.

I went to a library book sale today, my third in the last two weeks. This one was a relatively small one, it was definitely not as large as the one at the library in my hometown, but it was still big enough for me to buy eight books – some of which have been on my Goodreads ‘to read’ shelf for a while now, and others that I only just discovered recently, or today at the sale. There were a few others that I thought about getting, but they weren’t of a good enough quality for me to buy. I don’t have many turnoffs when it comes to buying used books, mainly just the smell, how ripped the pages are, and if there are any mystery substances on the book. And the cost of these eight books, half of which look like they’ve never been read at all? A dollar. One. Dollar. I’ve heard people say there’s not much you can buy for a dollar these days, I’ve probably even said it myself, and today I bought eight books for exactly that much.
When I go to used book sales, I don’t go with my ‘to read’ list in mind. I don’t have authors or titles that I’m going to actively search for. I just go to look and see what catches my eye. Maybe it’s a book I’ve wanted to read for years but never picked up a copy for whatever reason, or maybe it’s a book I’ve never heard of before. And sometimes, on the rarest of occasion, it’s a book I’ve heard of before, but one I told myself I’d never buy , except who can pass it up at that the price?
The reason my book bag gets filled so quickly at these things? The price. I don’t tend to go to sales where they sell the books for more than 50 cents. I also don’t tend to “seek out” book sales, so it usually comes down to when I hear about one, I drive past one unexpectedly, I’ve gone to that one in the past, or my mom has heard about one. That’s probably one of my favorite parts about living with my parents (which is a necessity at this point and time) – my mom likes going to these sales too, but only for cookbooks and CDs and she’s done. Me? I look at every single section of interest. Except when I go with my mom – then I look at whatever I have time to get through before my mom is ready to leave. Thankfully she takes her time flipping through the cookbooks so it usually takes anywhere from half an hour to an hour, sometimes longer.
My favorite section to look at, however, will always be the area with children’s/young adult books. It’s not even just about the books anymore. It’s also about the smile that will cross my face as I’m looking through the books when I hear some of the children asking their parents for books or telling their friends why they liked one they just spotted. A few times I’ve even stopped and recommended a book to an adult, some of them are parents searching for books for their children without them there, and others are teachers trying to fill their classroom library. I don’t get that much fun from the other sections, where I hear people bemoaning the books they had to read in school, or tearing apart a book with their words because of what they heard about it or the author. I’ll take screaming, laughing kids, running all around me over that any day.
But what is the absolute best thing I love about book sales? The history. The books that were once loved, the books that were abandoned half way, and the books that were never read at all. They’re all together in one place, and I get to look through all of them, looking for, and maybe finding, the next one I’ll love.
And not having to worry that I don’t have enough money in my bank account.

The Teaching/Research Assistantships and Fellowships at Arizona State University is applicable for master’s and doctoral students in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering. However, the various forms of financial support are available to new and continuing graduate students including teaching and research assistantships and fellowships. These opportunities may be accessed through each academic unit as well as individual faculty members.
What is Teaching Assistantships
Students receiving teaching assistantships may be assigned appointments which are half-time (20 hours per week) or quarter-time (10 hours per week). Assignments may include sole responsibility for the teaching of undergraduate laboratories, assistance in the teaching of undergraduate laboratory recitations, and assistance in grading of undergraduate homework. Students may additionally be asked to prepare lectures in undergraduate courses and administer examinations. Teaching responsibilities are in addition to the time spent on research for the graduate degree. Teaching assistantships generally include an out-of-state tuition waiver and a stipend. However, only full tuition waivers are given to those students who hold half-time teaching assistantships. Quarter-time assistantship holders receive only a half tuition waiver. In addition to the stipend and full tuition waiver, half-time teaching assistants also receive health insurance benefits.
All teaching assistants whose native language is not English must achieve a Test of Spoken English (TSE) score of 50 or better before they are allowed primary teaching responsibilities. Students unable to take the TSE exam in their home countries can instead take the SPEAK Test—the SPEAK Test, offered on campus at ASU, is the local version of the TSE. Students taking the SPEAK Test at ASU must achieve a minimum score of 50 (for limited teaching capacity) or 55 (for full teaching capacity). Results are sent to the academic department within five working days after the test date. You must register in advance for the ASU SPEAK Test online via ASU Global Launch.
What is Research Assistantships
Research assistantship appointments pay the student a stipend for involvement in a particular faculty research project—this project usually also serves as the student’s dissertation research topic. A first-year doctoral student receiving a half-time teaching or research assistantship generally receives a generous starting stipend for 12 months, in addition to the full tuition waiver and health insurance benefits. In addition to a stipend, students receiving a research assistantship are generally given an out-of-state tuition waiver. The amount of the tuition waiver, however, depends upon whether the student is appointed as a half-time (20 hours per week) RA or a quarter-time (10 hours per week) RA. Students given half-time RA appointments additionally receive health insurance benefits. Students receiving stipends for research activity, which also constitutes the dissertation research, spend considerably more time each week working on the project than is otherwise expected by the assistantship.
The ASU Electrical Engineering program offers the Dean’s Fellowship to outstanding new doctoral students. Total awards exceeding $30,000 per year for four years are available. In addition to the cash award, the fellowship covers tuition, insurance, and a position as an RA in a research program of interest.
Eligibility requirements include the following:
- Apply and be admitted to ASU’s doctoral program in electrical engineering.
- United States citizenship required.
- Have a bachelor of science degree with a 3.6 GPA or better from an accredited electrical engineering program.
- Attend the recruiting event.
- Applicants from women and minorities are encouraged.
Visit the fellowship application portal to apply.
Policies Related to Financial Support of Graduate Students
A limited number of students receive written offers of financial aid prior to entering the program. Students who elect to enter the program without a written commitment of financial aid are responsible for providing their own financial support. Although it is the desire of the faculty to assist students by the aggressive pursuit of research grants, the faculty are not responsible for providing funding when a student enrolls in the program. All supported students are expected to complete their work assignments in a satisfactory manner as judged by the faculty. Additionally, supported students are required to register for at least 12 semester hours of coursework during each semester of residence, which includes research hours. Any suspension from the Graduate Program results in the loss of financial support.
Policy dictates that supported students in the doctoral program are paid a stipend consistent with that of a research or teaching assistant until they pass the qualifying examination, and then receive a stipend consistent with that of a research or teaching associate.

- Picking your own personal route through some of Scotland's finest scenery
- Taking on the technical trails through Glen Sligachan on Skye
- The Fiord like beauty of Kinlochhouorn
- Rewarding views of Loch Ness from the formidable Corrieyairack Pass
- Real Highland hospitality at every stage of your adventure.
Day 1: Arrive in Scotland. Whether arriving by bus, train or plane we can pick you up and take you to Portree on the Isle of Skye, and your comfortable accommodation for the night. We’ll get the bikes ready for the journey ahead and have a pre-trip briefing.
Day 2: We’ll transport you and your bikes to Talisker Bay on the remote west coast of Skye, famed for its rich, smoky whisky. Deserted country roads lead us through beautiful countryside to the head of Glen Sligachan where our first stretch of tricky singletrack winds its way south, surrounded by the stunning peaks of the Cuillin Ridge. We’re heading for Broadford where a welcome comfy bed awaits.
Day 3: A short, restful ferry ride will give the legs a brief break as we cross from the Isle of Skye to the beautiful, remote Northwest Highlands. The wilderness biking continues as rocky trails take us along the stunning West Coast of Scotland with fiord-like inlets and sea lochs.
Day 4: What better way to start the day than by biking along amazing trails through sublime scenery? We’re bound for the infamous Corrieyairack Pass, where we’ll reach a height of over 750 metres on rocky trails. All that effort is rewarded with magnificent views over Loch Ness. We stop for the night in bustling Kingussie.
Day 5: Following Glen Feshie, we’ll be treated to stunning views of the Cairngorm Mountains to the north and the Grampians to the south. The River Dee leads on to superb singletrack through some of Scotland's finest forests to the Alpin-esque town of Aviemore.
Day 6: Cycle trails lead us through the most beautiful native woodland in Scotland through the Rothiemurchus estate. Leaving the woodland behind, we’ll climb on ancient trails towards Scotlands second highest village at Tomintoul.
Day 7: From Tomintoul we head down the fantastic Glen Builg for an easy warm up. Then there is a big climb and screaming descent to the Scottish home of the Royal family. A chance to taste the royal whisky perhaps then a short road spin to Ballater.
Day 8: From Ballater there are a wealth of trails that lead out into the remote mountains. We've chosen a fantastic route with plenty of singletrack and fast descents that will take us to Glen Esk and the pretty village of Edzell.
Day 9: Brilliant pine forest trails in Drumtochty and Fetteresso Forests lead us east, with the smell of the sea getting stronger, until we finally reach the North Sea coast at Stonehaven. You now have the chance to celebrate your awesome achievement or just collapse in a heap - well done, you made it!

Patrice Serres is a Parisian comic artist, specialized in comics about aviation and animals. He is also an editor and producer, who works in different types of media. He was an art teacher when he made his debut with comic adaptations of Claude Rank's 'La Route de Corinthe' and Albert Simonin's 'Max le Menteur' in France-Soir. He then spent a couple of years in the USA, where he assisted Frank Robbins on 'Johnny Hazard'. Back in France since 1967, he made short stories and editorial pages for magazines Pilote and Formule 1, sometimes using the pseudonym Esdé. He created the aviation series 'Yves Sainclair' with Claude Moliterni in Phénix, that was collected in two books by Dargaud in 1975 and 1976. The series was made into an animation series, called 'Yves Saint Clair', as a co-production by Story, In Fine and Herault, twenty years later.
In the same genre, Serres took over the artwork of 'Tanduy & Laverdure' comic by Jean-Michel Charlier, following the death of Jijé. His stories were serialized in Le Pélélin, and published in books by Novedi between 1981 and 1984. In 1978 he made the series 'Secourir', containing two books in commission of the Red Cross in France. He wrote and drew another aviation comic, called 'Kim Wolf', for Dargaud in 1991. He made an adaptation of Bernard Werber's 'Les Fourmis', about the life of ants, for L'Écho des Savanes in 1994, and created 'Le Bal des Abeilles', a book about bees, with Rémy Chauvin for Éditions du Goral in 2001. In 2007, he made 'Les Forçats de la Route', a comics chronicle of the Tour de France of 1924 through the eyes of journalist Albert Londres.
Serres additionally worked as an deputy editor of Tintin magazine in the 1970s, and contributed to the revival of the title with serializations of popular comics like 'Blueberry' and 'Lucky Luke'. He was editor-in-chief of the satirical weekly Hara-Kiri between 1984 and 1991 and served as manager of Yu Pruductions. Besides print, Serres developed radio shows like 'La Radio à Roulettes' for France Musique in 1977, and Trésors Vivants for France Culture in 1978. He has worked as a producer for France Inter, Antenne 2, FR3 and Canal+ in the 1980s, and has designed stamps for La Poste from 2003.
He is furthermore known to be a sinologist, following a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s. He has used his knowledge on the subject for his comic about the life of Qin Shi Huangdi, the first Chinese emperor, that was published by Philippe Picquier in 2006.
