As mentioned in yesterdays post, sometimes there are errors on your credit report. How do you correct them and have them removed?
One way would be to work with a credit repair company. However, you can save money by doing it yourself.
You'll need to have a copy of your credit report (Click here to learn how to get a free credit report). With this, you'll be able to reference the exact information and how it is being reported should you need to provide it for documentation. Get any other proof of the error that you have (paid receipts, etc.) and make copies of them. DO NOT SEND ORIGINALS because if they become lost....
You need to tell the consumer reporting agency (CRA), in writing, what you believe the error is and how it should be corrected. Your letter needs to include your complete name and address and clearly identify the items on your credit record that you are disputing. You need to state the reasons why you believe the information is incorrect and ask that the information be removed from your credit file. Mail COPIES (no originals) of any documentation that you might have. If you are mailing a copy of your credit file, mail only the page that has the trade-line that you're disputing, and highlight or circle the item that you're disputing. Here is a sample dispute letter from the FTC that you can use:
Your Address, City, State, Zip Code
Name of Company
City, State, Zip Code
Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to dispute the following information in my file. I have circled the items I dispute on the attached copy of the report I received.
This item (identify item(s) disputed by name of source, such as creditors or tax court, and identify type of item, such as credit account, judgment, etc.) is (inaccurate or incomplete) because (describe what is inaccurate or incomplete and why). I am requesting that the item be removed (or request another specific change) to correct the information.
Enclosed are copies of (use this sentence if applicable and describe any enclosed documentation, such as payment records, court documents) supporting my position. Please reinvestigate this (these) matter(s) and (delete or correct) the disputed item(s) as soon as possible.
Enclosures: (List what you are enclosing.)
Make copies of the letter and all of the documents that you're including. Mail the letter Certified and request a Return Receipt to the CRA. This will give you formal record of both mailing the letter and the CRA's receipt of the letter. Once the CRA has the letter, by law they must act on it unless they feel that it is lacking basis or otherwise does not have merit, completing an investigation usually withing 30 days.
Here is the address and contact information for the credit bureaus:
P.O. Box 740256
Atlanta, GA 30374
Web site: www.equifax.com
PO Box 2002
Allen, TX 75013
Web site: www.experian.com
P.O. Box 2000
Chester, PA 19022
Web site: www.transunion.com
Mail copies of the information that you sent to the CRA to the creditor or other information provider that you dispute the item. Read this post for more information about disputing a billing error.
The CRA will contact the organization that provided the information that you are disputing, forwarding any relevant documents that you might have provided. If the information provider determines that there is an error, they must notify all three of the repositories (Equifax, Trans Union, Experian) of the error and have it corrected. They must report their actions back to the CRA who in turn will notify you in writing of the outcome. You will be provided another free copy of your credit report if any changes are made to it as a result of the investigation.
Ask the CRA to send notices of the corrected information to anyone who has received a copy of your credit report in the last six months, just to set things straight with those that might have made a decision about you based upon the incorrect information contained in your credit report. For example, the loan that you received might be priced higher because of the error (read here for more information about how errors can effect your credit score). If the correction has a material effect on your credit score, then you should ask the creditor to reconsider your situation.
If the investigation does not result in the item being removed or corrected, then you can ask that a statement about the account be included on your credit file and on future reports. This gives you an opportunity to have your statement appear on the credit report along with the trade-line information that you are disagreeing with.
If the information provider fails to respond to your dispute letter, the CRA will remove the information from your file. This may mean that if you bombard the CRA and information provide with dispute letters, the information provider may give up and not respond or change the information just to make you go away.
Otherwise, if the information is correct, and the information provider is unwilling to change it, the only other way for it to be removed is through the passing of time. Most negative information will be reported for 7 years, bankruptcy information is reported for 10 years. Other information like judgments can be reported for 7 years or until the statute of limitations runs out.

REVIEW COPY: personal ebook
A passionate, sweeping novel of a love that transcends time.
When twenty-something Wall Street analyst Kate Wilson attracts the notice of the legendary Julian Laurence at a business meeting, no one’s more surprised than she is. Julian’s relentless energy and his extraordinary intellect electrify her, but she’s baffled by his sudden interest. Why would this handsome British billionaire—Manhattan’s most eligible bachelor—pursue a pretty but bookish young banker who hasn’t had a boyfriend since college?
The answer is beyond imagining . . . at least at first. Kate and Julian’s story may have begun not in the moneyed world of twenty-first-century Manhattan but in France during World War I, when a mysterious American woman emerged from the shadows of the Western Front to save the life of Captain Julian Laurence Ashford, a celebrated war poet and infantry officer.
Now, in modern-day New York, Kate and Julian must protect themselves from the secrets of the past, and trust in a true love that transcends time and space.
I downloaded Overseas on a hunch. It caught my eye and I decided it looked like something I’d like. While I was unsure at the start of the book, by the end I’d fallen in love. I really don’t want to give away the plot, because unravelling what was happening was the fun part of this book. As the pieces began to fit and things made sense I got more and more into the characters and the stories.
Overseas is a love story. It has two linked timelines. The first and main timeline is 2008, where Kate Wilson is working on Wall Street, where she meets billionaire Julian Laurence. Julian seems instantly smitten with Kate and Kate finds herself equally drawn to Julian’s old world charm.
Interspersed with this story are flashbacks to Amiens, France in 1916. Here a future Kate has somehow gone back to warn a young Julian (Captain Julian Ashford) of his impending death. Julian is due back on the Western Front where he will die. Kate seems desperate to stop Julian.
As we follow Julian and Kate while they fall in love, the two timelines move along and draw closer together until we eventually start to understand the whole story. There is a strange tension when reading this book because we know both timelines. As readers we know more than either character at any given time. Julian’s past is Kate’s future so both are only aware of half the story as we are reading.
I really enjoyed the plot of Overseas. I think the internal logic made sense and the timelines were consistent and characters only knew what they should know. The weakest part of the story was probably the hows of the time travelling. But, really, most time-travel books require a leap of faith on that point, so Overseas is really no different in that respect.
As I said, while I was reading Overseas I wasn’t always sure how it was going to rate by the end. There are parts of the beginning between Julian and Kate that could be taken straight from any romance novel. There’s the hero telling the girl to stay away from him for her own good, even as he can’t resist her. There’s his incredible good looks ridiculous wealth. There’s her feeling of inadequacy next to him. So yeah, there are eye-rolly parts. But, as the book went on, I got really into the characters and their love story. The way things were in both the past and the present and how they connected ended up being crazy romantic.
I ended up really loving this book. Overseas will make you happy in a gushy romantic way. The ending was really exciting, trying to figure out how it would all end. Julian and Kate were so sweet together I have to give Overseas five out of five because it’s a book I’ll reread when I want to good romance to make me happy.

I can not begin to express my overwhelming gratitude when I got on my computer this afternoon and found so many beautiful, kind, and sincere comments from all of you for my sweet little nephew, David. I am moved to tears and am just so grateful for all of your heartfelt thoughts, comments, and prayers. Thank you so very much!!
David's open heart surgery on Friday went very well. It was more complicated than anticipated and yet, everything went smooth and he is recovering. In fact, he is recovering so well, he had surgery again this morning to close everything up. We are so very grateful to the wonderful surgeon and his team that has taken such amazing care of little David. He will continue to be in their care for another week or so while he finishes up his recovery and then he will get to go home. What a miraculous journey this little guys first few weeks of life have been.
Again, thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. Each are felt and so very much appreciated.

We camped at Tall Chief RV Park in Fall City, Washington. The campground is about 30 minutes from Seattle.
Kevin and I arrived in Seattle about 7:00 am. We immediately walked to the famous Starbucks on 1912 Pike St. This is the first Starbucks ever opened. I was shocked by how empty it was. We were told to expect big lines. Kevin had his usual Pikes Peak coffee and I had my skinny vanilla latte within 10 minutes of walking into the coffee shop. This Starbucks has no sitting areas but the coffee was fantastic.
Then, we walked to Pike Place Fish Market to see the employees toss fish to each other. 🙂 They’re loud and happy workers. Pike Place Market was a nice experience early in the morning. It cost us $14.00 for early bird parking.

Then, we went on the Bill Speidel’s Seattle Underground Tour. This cost us about $19.00 each. While the Portland underground tour was focused on ghost stories, shanghaiing men and human trafficking. The Seattle tour guide was filled with stories about the gold rush and how the underground was built in Seattle. Both the Portland Underground tour and the Seattle Underground tour were interesting. I’m glad we went to both tours.
Klondike Gold Rush
The Underground tour guide
Me waiting for the tour to start
Next, the Klondike National Historical Park. We saw a short movie about the 1897 gold rush and walked around the museum a bit. I learned that in Dawson City and Seattle more fortunes were made off miners than by mining for the average guy.
The next day we drove to the Fremont Troll. This statue was build on Halloween in 1990. There are several books written with the Fremont Troll mentioned. Also, some very strange myths regarding the troll. I’ve read about portals near this troll in fantasy and paranormal books. The Troll is thought to be the Center of the Universe. We didn’t see any of those things but we did find a nice statue of a troll and a well maintained geocache here. There were people taking pictures of this popular troll when we got there. It was a fun visit but the streets getting here were very narrow.
Fremont Troll Geocache in WA
Lightship Swiftsure #83
This lightship was built with sails in 1904 (8 years before the Titanic). Lightships were built very seaworthy. They generally are anchored offshore as floating lighthouses to guide ships in and out of safe harbor channels.
Light on the Lightship Swiftsure
The Light at the end of the Tunnel Volksmarching Event
The light at the end of the Tunnel volksmarch 5k event was in the same area as the Mega Ape Geocaching Event 2016. Kevin and I did the 5k volksmarch first. We saw a view of the Keechelus Lake. It was a nice morning walk. I felt bad for the people who waited to walk until the late morning. It was starting to get very hot.
Mega Ape Geocache Event 2016
We walked over to the Mega Ape Event from the volksmarching event. Both events had full parking lots. There were several people demonstrating different geocaches.
The ape log was available for pictures. I bought an ape coin and visited the trackable area. I deposited my Prissy Prideful Deadly Duck trackable on the trackable table and picked up a Generation Gen outdoor trackable.
Mega Ape Event 2016
Prissy Prideful Deadly Duck
I had a good time. Kevin and I got a picture with the ape. The event lines weren’t too bad. We didn’t walk through the tunnel but we did have a good time at both events.
Next, Kevin and I traveled to Glacier National Park.

[Show abstract][Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: A 69-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of acute prostatitis. After admission he produced bloody sputum and chest radiograph showed bilateral infiltration of the upper lung fields. The fraction of neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was 15.6%, lymphocytes were 33.6%, eosinophils were 26.6% and macrophages were 23.6%. No special findings were observed in the lung tissue obtained by transbronchial lung biopsy. After admission, he displayed acute respiratory distress syndrome with severe hypoxemia as dyspnea gradually progressed. We commenced treatment with high-dose pulse methylprednisolone and neutrophil elastase inhibitor under mechanical ventilation. Because severe hypoxemia was unresolved, HFOV was initiated on the 8th hospital day. His respiratory condition rapidly improved during HFOV. On the 17th hospital day, he was weaned from mechanical ventilation. HFOV seem to be safe and effective for patients with severe ARDS who failed conventional ventilation support.

Hanoi is generally regarded as the home of Pho, the rice noodle soup with herbs, often served with chicken (Pho Ga) or beef (Pho Bo). It is the iconic Vietnamese dish that is now served in many parts of the world as Vietnamese cuisine spreads. It can be a stir-fried meal as well, noodles cooked to be crisp with eggs and chili added. Pho is a favourite breakfast for locals so if you start your Hanoi tour early as people are on their way to work, you will see many eating their breakfast that they have bought on their way.
Later in the day, Bun Cha is the most popular lunch, pork patties or belly grilled and served with fish sauce (always) and often lime, sugar, vinegar and herbs. Spring rolls are a good accompaniment. They vary by region with crab meat especially popular on the coast. Xoi is the sticky rice that many people throughout Vietnam have as a central part of their diet. It can be sweet as well as savoury incidentally so try both when you tour in Hanoi.
Street vendors make these dishes every day and here are a few of the meals you will find being cooked in the street, the best street food in Hanoi:
• Cha Ca is a white fish cooked with turmeric, dill and ginger in a hot pan. It will be served with rice noodles, onions, fish sauce and red chili. Mix them all together and eat.
• Mien Xao Luon, noodles with deep-fried eel, is a broth with cucumber, bean sprouts, shallots and eggs with the usual side dish of herbs, further beansprouts and dipping sauce.
• Bung Thang is a rice vermicelli dish served with chicken, pork and egg and is eaten at any time. The clear broth has numerous ingredients including shrimp paste, coriander, sugar and ginger, sweet and sour at the same time because vinegar is usually one of the ingredients.
• Banh Cuon, or rolled cake, is a snack using chicken, pork or shrimp minced and mixed with mushrooms, beansprouts and then wrapped in a sheet made of rice flour. It is dipped into a range of sauces and can easily be eaten on the move if you are in a hurry.
• Banh Goi are fried dumplings made of noodles, minced pork, mushrooms and seasoning. They are crispy and best eaten with a sweet dip with a little chili added. If you like you can wrap them in fresh lettuce leaves.
• Nem Cua Be, or crab rolls, are crispy, a great snack that is cut into comfortably-sized pieces. In addition to crab, the rolls will include a variety of spices, mushrooms and pork and a dipping sauce is an essential accompaniment.
• Chim Quay is BBQ Pigeon, perhaps similar to the Chinese roast duck, though less fatty. Several spices are used and the whole pigeon is placed on the BBQ.
• Bun Rieu are rice noodles in a tomato broth. Crab and shrimp paste are added to this breakfast favourite which is eaten with the usual greens and herbs. Enjoy!

Back Pain Treatment From Smoking Marijuana
Back pain is a common ailment plaguing millions of individuals worldwide. How widespread? According to the American Chiropractic Association, 80% of individuals will experience back pain at some point in their lives.
Worse yet, back pain is the single leading cause of disability worldwide, and accounts for 264 million lost work days each and every year, and costs the American population $50 billion in healthcare costs each year.
If those facts aren’t alarming enough, the pain in your back might be.
Limited Treatment Options
While treatments such as chiropractic, physical therapy, massage, and homeopathic remedies may help to temporarily resolve the issue or reduce pain for some individuals, others are not so lucky.
Back pain isn’t always easy to treat, leaving many Americans suffering from chronic back pain that can only be resolved with addictive opioids or risky surgery.
Recent studies have shown that medical marijuana is growing in popularity based on its effectiveness as an alternative treatment for chronic back pain. A WebMD analysis found that over 540 million people worldwide suffer from low back pain. But back pain is not restricted to just the lower back area. A vast majority of the population also suffers from upper back pain and/or side pain.
Disability cases due to back pain have been on the rise since the 1990s. And, even though most back pain will be fleeting for some people, others will suffer from chronic and persistent back pain for much of their lives.
Medical marijuana is increasingly being recognized and recommended by health care/medical professionals as being a highly effective treatment in the war against chronic back pain. In fact, since 2016, the state of New York allows patients with chronic back pain to have access to its medical marijuana program. Data from the World Health Organization states that 147 million people throughout the world use cannabis. That number is expected to increase exponentially now that marijuana has been found to relieve chronic back pain.
Causes of Back Pain
Back pain lasting for less than six months is considered acute, while back pain lasting for three months or more is considered to be chronic. The most common type of back pain is defined as mechanical back pain, or pain that is not related to any grave underlying conditions and does not involve trapped or compressed nerves.
Stress, aging, bad posture, and normal everyday wear and tear cause mechanical back pain, while chronic back pain is caused by more serious issues including trapped nerves and slipped discs. Chronic back pain is commonly caused by slips and falls, trips, and sports-related injuries. Sciatica, which causes shooting pain that runs down into one or both legs, is a common chronic back issue. But other conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis can also be linked to chronic back pain. While surgery is considered to be a last resort, it is sometimes medically warranted regardless of whether you treat the pain with medical marijuana.
The Benefits of Medical Marijuana for Back Pain
Marijuana has been used throughout history as a remedy for a wide array of conditions. Millions of regular cannabis users will attest to the plant’s pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. And now, with the rise in cannabis legalization, more studies have been done to support marijuana’s effectiveness as a medical treatment for many chronic and acute conditions, including back pain. In light of this evidence, an increasing number of doctors are prescribing marijuana to their patients over the manufactured medicine of Big Pharma.
The key to the effectiveness of marijuana lies in its cannabinoids. Both TCH and CBD play a critical role in how marijuana is taken in by the body’s systems. THC, the psychoactive element of marijuana, boosts moods and energizes, which brings on feelings of bliss and happiness. Therefore, those struggling with back pain-related depression will benefit from THC’s positive properties.
Likewise, CBD oil, which is not psychoactive, relieves physical pain and discomfort. And when THC and CBD work together, they achieve a synergy known as the entourage effect, which successfully alleviates pain and inflammation while increasing relaxation and feelings of happiness and well-being. Overall, medical marijuana is not a one-size-fits-all type of treatment. The trick is to find the right balance and combination in individual strains of medical marijuana that will best suit each patient’s unique endocannabinoid system
How patients consume their medical marijuana also makes a huge difference in the effectiveness of their treatment. While inhaled or vaporized marijuana may provide more immediate results, edibles may prove more effective and appropriate for those suffering from chronic pain that lasts all day. Edibles often provide a slow onset of relief that tends to be longer lasting but not as acute.
Medical Marijuana Vs Opioids
Sadly, opioids have a high addiction rate. A recent CDC study shows that taking prescription opioid-based painkillers for just a single day will give you a six percent chance of becoming addicted to the drugs. Rest assured that marijuana is not an addictive substance. In fact, patients with widely different backgrounds and circumstances are opting to manage their back pain with marijuana over prescription opioids. Some of the best advocates for the use of marijuana to treat chronic back pain have been MMA athletes and football players due to the physically damaging nature of their respective fields of sports.
Closing Thoughts on Medical Marijuana and Back Pain
Thanks to recent studies and patients’ first-hand experiences with medical marijuana, more and more people — including celebrities and sports figures — are becoming advocates for this alternative treatment. As a result, marijuana is becoming more accepted as a treatment for chronic pain and back pain throughout the United States.
Because medical marijuana’s great success within the United States, more European countries are slowly beginning to realize the benefits of marijuana as a treatment for different types of medical conditions. Currently, medical marijuana is only accepted within the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Germany. But it will be just a matter of time before the rest of Europe catches up. Until then, Europeans outside of the countries listed above are finding relief through their own experimentations with CBD products. Be sure to find something to smoke your herb with from Hemper.

Today I’m really excited to be sharing one of my favourite looks with you, the Scandi Autumn home, with some help from JYSK. This is a look very close to my heart. It’s something I adopt in my own home, putting my own spin on it and adding some colourful accessories. I’m not very good at a plain white or grey interior, and as much as I love the photos, room sets and products, I always want to add some colour when I’m use them to create at home. So I thought I’d show you some of my favourite picks from JYSK, and just give some ideas on how I’d style them, with tips for incorporating them into your own home, my way.
Firstly though let me tell you a little bit more about JYSK. JYSK is an international retail chain that sells ‘everything for the home’, and which is owned by the original founder, Lars Larsen. In Danish, Jysk means anything or anyone from the Jutland Peninsula and is often associated with modesty, thoroughness and honesty, 3 values on which the company is based.
I’ve picked out this chair from the JYSK website as one of my fave picks. I know I said I’m not into the greys and whites BUT I would have this chair in my home in a heartbeat. It’s a great background canvas for colourful throws and cushions, and grey is going nowhere; it’s very much the big neutral that allows you develop your own touches to a colour scheme. It’s only £190 and you can see it HERE.
These dining chairs with a black seat and solid oak legs give a stylish, sophisticated edge to a dining space, and I love the contrast of hard black against the soft whites and greys. Personally I’d add some pops of pink, yellow or orange to this kind of scheme to add my twist on it, but it’s up to you. If you love the styling of the scandi look but want more colour, just go for some great quality basics and add in colourful accessories as you need them.
You can’t beat some beautiful storage, particularly something interesting and a little different. These storage shelves in a set of 3, allows you to add some colour to your walls in an alternative way to wall art. I just love these; they’re perfect for a scandi living room, or a nordic kid’s bedroom.
WIN a Pair of Scandi Tray Tables worth £50 from JYSK
I’m thrilled to have collaborated with JYSK so we can giveaway a lovely pair of these wonderful tray tables. Made from solid pine and white painted MDF you can use these tables in so many different ways.

Take the email below from Paperless Post, for example. I love the header of this email: It provides a clear CTA that includes a sense of urgency.

Though it attracted no love from Oscar voters, “Wind River,” a rural indie noir, was one of last year’s success stories, proving that audiences have a taste for such well-plotted if low-key mysteries, if they’re able to find them. “Juggernaut,” which gets a very limited U.S. theatrical launch from LevelFilm (simultaneous with its on-demand release) likely won’t achieve that popularity. But Canadian writer-director Daniel DiMarco’s debut feature sports enough of the same elements — and an equivalent surety of craft — to potentially access the same audience.
Ne’er-do-well Saxon Gamble (Jack Kesy) leaves a prison stint to head, like a guided missile, exactly where he’ll create the most misery. That would be his hometown in agricultural central British Columbia, where he’s estranged from his “golden boy” older brother Dean (David Cubitt) and father Leonard (Peter McRobbie), the latter an admitted erstwhile “drunk man of violence” who abandoned them both but has since found the Lord (and the cloth). It’s Sax’s conviction that the two men were somehow responsible for the death of the mother who loved him. But everyone else is certain she committed suicide, including local police; she had a lot to be unhappy about.
Affirming his own reputation for violence, Sax soon makes himself again a source of criminal menace, particularly in his renewed alliance with a shady father and son (Stephen McHattie and Ty Olsson) whose heavy-handed help he deploys to “investigate” his mother’s demise.
The “prodigal son” narrative strand rarely fails to intrigue. “Juggernaut” benefits further from being set in a cinematically underrepresented region whose imposing landscapes are well-utilized in the stark, dark look of Patrick Scola’s widescreen cinematography. But the community the film portrays might better have been sketched by DiMarco’s underpopulated screenplay.
The potency of multiple bitter father-son legacies eventually exposed here is somewhat compromised by the weakness of a sole onscreen female relationship: Amanda Crew as Dean’s younger live-in girlfriend Amelia, who takes up his brother’s cause for reasons that seem more contrived than psychologically credible. There’s also something of a letdown of suspense in a movie whose eventual revelations don’t arrive explosively, but rather as the result of a sad face-off, followed by a depressing coda.
Even if the ending falls something short of memorable, “Juggernaut” still holds attention as a strong, well-acted effort that effectively walks the line between dysfunctional family drama and revenge thriller. The confidence with with DiMarco and his collaborators imbue their small-scaled tale with a Big Sky Country gravity bodes well for their future.

My friend Sean recently sent me such a link. Now Sean is a good source for cool; when he's not taking clever perspective pictures with his action figure collection for storyboard comics, writing toy reviews for scifi.com, or creating art for The Lord of the Rings Online (his "day job"), he's writing Infocom-style text adventures. So naturally, I checked out the link with confidence, and so should you:
The long and short of it is, there's a documentary in development about text adventures called Get Lamp (which I'm constantly almost mis-reading as "Got Lamp?") and MC Frontalot was inspired to do a song on the subject. I hadn't heard of him before (OMG, have I been missing OUT!), and it's been a decade or more since I've played a text adventure, but the song is really catchy, and any gamer can pretty much get the gist.
Now, the last few years have been amazing for geeky documentaries: Wordplay, Word Wars, Darkon, The King of Kong, and the upcoming Chasing Ghosts to name a few. In this gluttonous era of plenty, a documentary about text adventures is maybe taken a bit for granted, but is just as welcome as another birthday present would be. One of the biggest and most fertile subject matters yet to be documented, as far as I know, is Magic: the Gathering. That should be good - trust me, there's easily as much drama and intrigue there as was portrayed in The King of Kong.
But I digress. For those of you who aren't familiar with Infocom, they were the primary producer of text adventure games for the PC back when PCs were new. Games like Zork and Planetfall may ring a bell. I didn't play them extensively, but I do remember them, and the heartbreaking moment in Planetfall where Floyd...well, it was one of the first times I remember a game making me feel emotion. The Get Lamp site summarizes this genre very well:
...adventure games would describe a place, and then ask what to do next. They presented puzzles, tricks and traps to be overcome. They were filled with suspense, humor and sadness. And they offered a unique type of joy as players discovered how to negotiate the obstacles and think their way to victory.The reason these games were so engaging was the fact that you were not picking your next move from a handful of 5 or so stated choices; you were coming up with commands (such as get lamp, open hatch, go north, climb ladder) on your own. It took the concept of Choose Your Own Adventure books to the next level, and the focus was on the story, because there were no graphics. You had to plot dungeons and environments on a piece of paper as you explored them, and really read the text, which honestly, you don't have to do in most RPGs these days. Overall, this labor intensity meant one had a lot more time and work invested in a text adventure, which is what made them special.
The nice thing is, people are still creating text adventures, and there's even software available to do it with. If you are inspired to check out the old Infocom titles, you will have some luck on the amazon.com resellers scene, or Ebay, and can also find JAVA versions online to play free.
UPDATE: On creating text adventures, Sean had the following to note:
The de-facto standard language for writing text adventures at the moment is INFORM. There are two currently-used versions. Inform 6, which is very code-like, and a new and very hot Inform 7 which uses almost English commands, allowing people who don't know coding to write their own games fairly easily. The IF community hangs out in a newsgroup, and I7 has more-or-less supplanted I6, though I'm currently using I6 because I like code more than I like pseudo-english for coding.He also mentioned another popular text adventure coding language known as TADS. Hope that helps any of you interested in taking a stab at it!
Get Lamp was originally due to be released this past June, but seems to have been delayed. I'm really looking forward to it, and will keep you posted!
UPDATE - Nov. 25, 2008. A new weblog has been created for Get Lamp. Check out Taking Inventory for the latest news on the film's progress!

As seen on BBC’s Dragon Den, the rapstrap reusable cable tie is the latest innovative product which will revolutionise how you organise. Known for its extremely versatile and adaptable design, the rapstrap is also releasable, meaning it can be used thousands of times in various situations. Suitable for a number of everyday jobs, the rapstrap is a custom polymer cable tie which will help you tidy up just about anything.
The key feature of the rapstrap is that it can stretch up to 60%, making it an ideal option for tying plants or other delicate items. By opting for a single 12 inch rapstrap, you will be able to replace up to four standard cable ties, therefore eliminating unnecessary waste and eventually saving on costs. From gardening and outdoor usage to a tidy office or sports equipment, rapstrap will help you organise and secure whenever they’re required.
So, how does it work? Compared to a traditional nylon cable tie, the rapstrap is made from elasticated polyurethane, meaning sharp edges and snagging sides are a thing of the past. It comes in tear-off sheets of six and the binding can be pulled to whatever grip is required, as well as being completely resistant to any oils or fuels.
Available from Hilltop Products in black, natural, green or red, rapstrap is a high quality cable tie option which will help with everyday tasks. If you require more information on rapstraps or cable ties, contact our sales team on 01942 723 101 or email@example.com who will be able to help.

Its that time of year again!! School dances…we’ve all been to them and now I’m taking photo’s at one! Its become an annual tradition for Shaun & I to pay Goodman Middle School a visit for their 8th Grade Celebration ~ since Shaun was a teacher there up until February of this year it was a little bittersweet for him to go back and visit all the kids who are moving onto High School next year. As always we had a GREAT time with the kids and staff at the dance ~ I thought it would be fun to post the photos! They should be going ont in the mail in the next week or so ~ we are so excited for all you 8th graders out there!! Don’t forget us when it comes time for your Senior Photos!!
Several times throughout the dance the kids decided they wanted to collectively take one huge, group photo. It was kind of like trying to fit as many clowns into a slugbug…we had a good time though 🙂
One of my FAVORITE images of the night…kind of a “Wonder Years” moment 🙂 Thanks you middle school.
Until next year Goodman! Have a great summer & best of luck in high school graduating 8th graders!!

Take it easy driving– the life you save may be mine. — NAHEED B.
Received DMV notice and was alerted that needed a smog check as my car is now 6 years old. I've been here before with another vehicle - right across street from DMV. sarah at the front desk was really nice, knowledgable, and explained that the process will not take very long. Was off to another errand in about 15 minutes- no waiting and the waiting room was pleasant. Great experience!
The cars we drive say a lot about us. — JOHN A.
Cannot get any easier than this. Have been taking my cars to get smog for years. Dave (the guy in the picture I think and the owner) very friendly, easy going. I got there about 7:45am before they opened. Dave was there promptly and opened shop right at 8:00am. 15 minutes later I was done and back on the road after my smog. Some businesses you get a good vibe. This is one. The owner is easy to talk too, feels like your neighbor. They also do normal auto repairs which I did not realize. Thank you for your work!
I love fast cars... and to go too fast in them. — CHRIS C.
I can't believe I'm the first to review this place. I've been coming here for years. Every time I come here Dave is working behind the counter. I've never had a bad experience here. I called a different smog shop today (5 stars)and they quoted me $60 for a smog cert. But said they would give me a $10 discount. Dave quoted me $50 without a discount. So for the sake of time I came here (its right across the street from the DMV) . He passed me in no time flat and sent me on my way. Every experience I've had here has been perfect. Friendly, informative, and quick. I recommend rancho smog!

|Intl. Notebook||Jun 8 2015|
We’re back to Hitler today, as The National Police Gazette finally stops beating up poor Argentina in this June 1968 issue and decides the Führer is instead alive and well Colombia. Nowhere is Argentina mentioned, although the magazine had claimed at least twenty times previously that Hitler was there. Antarctica isn’t mentioned either, though Gazette had also told readers Hitler was plotting a new Reich from those icy reaches. Instead, Hitler’s u-boat is said to have landed in Bahia Honda on Colombia’s lush Caribbean coast, whereupon, garbed as a peasant, he was conducted by “rustic Indians” to a jungle ranch. Bogotá, by the way, also doesn’t enter into the story, despite its mention in the cover text.
In previous Gazette tales Eva Braun also made it to South America, but this time she died aboard the u-boat of a brain hemorrhage and was buried at sea. The story, which by the way is once more the work of Hitler-obsessive journo George McGrath, ends with this: “Only his closest German servants knew his real identity. The ranch hands thought him a mine operator. He wore a beard and eyeglasses. It was a complete disguise.” We see the disguise just above, in a photo supposedly taken at a u-boat base in Norway prior to his long submarine journey. We assume Gazette will have more on Hitler’s South American adventures in other issues. After all, this is the twenty-seventh Hitler Gazette we’ve found, and we have no expectation that it’s the last. Stay tuned.

Back to university for Newport Camera Club
Written on October 11, 2021
With a fantastic new meeting venue, a new programme for the 2021/2022 season and several new and returning members, it was back to normal for Newport Photographic Club when it launched its new season on Tuesday, October 5.
Over fifty members attended the first meeting of the season held for the first time in the Weston Hall at Harper Adams University.
Club chairman, Howard Broadbent, said: “It really is great to be back together and see so many old faces as well as new members at this wonderful new venue. The space allows us to maintain a good social distance and the projection and information technology systems here will help us to further raise our standards.”
The first meeting of the season incorporated a short AGM delayed from the end of last season and an introduction to the programme from club secretary Alan Fowler.

With February come to a close, I can truthfully say that the legislative session so far has been eventful. We have seen a number of important actions from the executive branch, successes and failures in bipartisanship, and I am happy to report a number of my legislative proposals are on their way to the Governor’s Desk.
Before going into the details of this session. I want to make sure that you know that today, March 1 is Primary Election Day here in the Commonwealth. To find your voting location, please click here.
McAuliffe Gun Deal
The only way to get anything done in Richmond is to work across the aisle since both houses in the General Assembly have Republican majorities. You have probably heard by now of the deal on guns that Governor McAuliffe has negotiated with the Republican Leadership. It will make sure that guns are out of the hands of people who have permanent domestic protective orders taken out against them and change the state of gun carry reciprocity laws.
The deal, which was signed by the Governor recently is in the form of three bills that would (1) prohibit anyone subject to a permanent protective order from owning a gun, (2) allow State police to perform voluntary background checks on customers at gun shows in Virginia, and (3) reverse the decision made by Attorney General Mark Herring to not recognize reciprocity of concealed carry licenses from 25 states, while adding additional states to which we will have reciprocity.
While I am supportive of removing firearms from individuals with a permanent protective order taken out against them, I could not vote for an increase in reciprocity, when we already had a good law on the books.
Expansion and Tolling on I-66
Governor McAuliffe and members of the Virginia General Assembly announced an agreement to move forward on a plan to reduce congestion on I-66 inside the beltway by widening a four mile stretch from the Dulles Connector Road to Ballston, improving transit, and adding new options for single drivers.
The plan would be implemented jointly by the Commonwealth Transportation Board, the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, and the Department of Transportation. The Transform66: Inside the Beltway project includes the following components—
- Widening of I-66 eastbound from the Dulles Connector Road to Ballston with lanes opening in late 2019
- Converting of I-66 during rush hours in the peak directions to dynamic tolling where HOV vehicles and buses travel free while others must pay a toll
- Enhancing carpool and other TDM strategies throughout the corridor.
While I am typically very excited for new programs that can increase transit options, I am awaiting to see how this develops.
Legislative Successes and Failures
HB 834 - Establishes the Virginia Growth and Opportunity Board to administer GO Virginia regional economic and workforce development projects so that we can continue to develop the New Virginia Economy.
HB 1348 - Provides that any person who smokes in a motor vehicle, when a child under the age of eight is in the motor vehicle is subject to a fine.
SB 117 - Protects Cyclists by requiring drivers to wait for a reasonable opportunity to open vehicle doors on the side adjacent to moving traffic.
HB 2 - Clean Power Plan - Requires the Department of Environmental Quality to receive approval from the General Assembly for a state implementation plan to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from existing power plants.
HB 4 - Right to Work Constitutional Amendment- enshrines an outmoded, conservative political point into our state’s constitution. This will be on the ballot in November.
HB 560 - Makes it more difficult to convict someone of brandishing a firearm by requiring proof that a person had the intent to induce fear in the mind of another.
HB 773/SB 41 - Prevents the state government from taking any action against a person or organization that discriminates based on a sincerely held religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one. This effectively legalizes discrimination against the LGBT community.
My Legislative Agenda
In addition to my work as caucus chair, I also wanted to give you an update on some of the legislation that I have been working on. You can see my full legislative agenda and bills that I have co-patroned here.
Continuing my work to combat heroin and prescription drug abuse
I have been proud to serve on the Governor’s Taskforce on Heroin and Prescription Drugs. Over the last two years I have worked with colleagues from all over the Commonwealth, and together we have made strides toward dealing with a problem that has been claiming the lives of Virginians in increasing proportion for many years. This year I have a few pieces of legislation that are being considered. HJ 79 is a study resolution that I filed once again in order to see a proper study done on sentencing alternatives for drug offences in order to see what we can do to alleviate our overcrowded jails and actually help people recover rather than lock them into a cycle of repeat offenses. Working across the aisle, I joined my HB 290 into being the Chief Co-Patron for HB 657, which gives the authority for the Department of Health Professions to develop criterion for indicators of abuse in prescribing and dispensing, and forward cases to the enforcement division. Last, HB 293 makes the PMP program more effective by outline exemptions for its use such as natural disaster and certain special cases.
Keeping our seniors safe
When the Commissions on Aging brought this to my attention, I was shocked that we didn’t already have programs that prioritize the investigation of seniors who are suspected of being financially exploited, especially those who are potentially being financially ruined by the suspected activity. This bill will ensure that when this type of activity is suspected it is reported to the police and investigated. Working across the aisle to ensure success on this important legislation, my HB291 has been laid on the table and I have joined as the chief co-patron of HB 248.
Working to make transportation decisions more equitable
Working with other legislators from Northern Virginia and am a Chief Co-Patron for HB 190 which updates the way the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority makes population based decisions to a more accurate method of using estimates in place of projections.
Thank you for taking the time to read my update. If you would like to see my entire legislative agenda, you can see it online here. If you have questions or need assistance you can always reach my office at 703-606-9705 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.org.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann is calling it quits: She will not run for re-election in 2014. Bachmann made the announcement in a video released early this morning.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann is calling it quits: She will not run for re-election in 2014. Bachmann made the announcement in a video released early this morning. Recent polls showed her in a dogfight with her 2012 opponent, Democrat Jim Graves. And she’s been pestered by a fundraising investigation into staffers from her failed presidential campaign. Bachmann, of course, is one of the most extreme members of the House. And her rise to national prominence coincided with an appearance on Hardball where she suggested her colleagues in Congress should be investigated for anti-American views.
A new campaign ad for Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell tries to link President Obama to the IRS kerfuffle, and the illegal actions of Richard Nixon using Nixon’s own voice. Trouble is, there is no evidence that the White House ore the President had anything to do with the actions of the IRS in Cincinnati, but that’s not stopping McConnell.
Politico looks at the successes of the first three months of Chuck Hagel’s tenure as Defense Secretary.
A new poll finds that Americans don’t want spending offsets when it comes to disaster aid. The message? It’s OK to spend tax dollars when it comes to disaster relief.
Congress may be dysfunctional, but there’s one thing they’re good at: Naming post offices.

Achieving the MDG target – halving the proportion of underweight children between 1990 and 2015 – will involve efforts at micro, meso, macro and global levels, as well as partnerships among all sectors of society.
The time to act is now
Millions of children’s lives will be transformed if the MDG target to reduce hunger is fulfilled in 2015. This is by no means a far-fetched scenario. Much is known about what can make a difference in child nutrition. Food as well as access to health services and good care, especially in early childhood, is important.
The drive for nutrition will also involve working across sectors, recognizing that water, sanitation and HIV/AIDS, for example, are inextricably connected with child health and nutrition. It will involve efforts that span the micro level up to the macro level (see chart) and will require every level of society to work in partnership.
The priority of nutrition interventions must be children under two years old, when they are most vulnerable to disease and mortality. Early childhood offers a window of opportunity; nutrition-related interventions during this period have the greatest impact.
In addition, interventions need to focus on women – before they become pregnant, while pregnant and when lactating – through antenatal care and other opportunities, because mothers deprived of good nutrition are likely to give birth to underweight babies.
The health and nutrition needs of children in complex emergencies must remain a priority. But there is, further, an urgent need to focus on the major causes of death and undernutrition in ‘silent’ emergencies – outside camps, in stable environments and in communities affected by HIV/AIDS, particularly in southern Africa.
New evidence39 indicates that if high-impact health and nutrition interventions such as breastfeeding, complementary feeding and vitamin A and zinc supplementation are scaled up, they will have a synergistic impact on growth and development, as well as survival.
Even countries with low per capita incomes can make significant progress if appropriate policies are matched by political will. As the World Bank advocates in its recent publication, nutrition needs to be repositioned in national development if the MDGs are to be achieved.40
The time to act is now. To begin with, the MDGs have been adopted by United Nations Member States – already a big step forward for children and humankind. And in the push towards the MDGs, the battle against poverty has moved to centre stage.
The world is certainly capable of getting on track to meet the MDGs on child nutrition and health. There can be no excuses if another generation of children is allowed to fall by the wayside.
39 See, for example, The Lancet series on child survival (2003) and neonatal survival (2005); The World Bank, World Development Report 2004: Making services work for poor people, The World Bank, Washington, D.C., 2003; World Health Organization, The World Health Report: Make every mother and child count, WHO, Geneva, 2005; Copenhagen Consensus 2004 reports accessed at <http://www.copenhagenconsensus.com>; UN Millennium Project, Investing in Development: A practical plan to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, UNDP, New York, 2005, and other Millennium Project reports accessed at <http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/reports/index.htm>.

As ISIS expands, the experts say, it will face new challenges, but could also gain new ground.
"It may well attempt to increase its activity, and it is, in place like north west Syria, southern Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and southern Turkey," said John Esposito, professor and the founding director of the Alwaleed Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding at Georgetown University.
One expert says their brutal but less arbitrary governance is the reason local territories have accepted them — because it's less chaos than the alternative.
"In the territory they control, we're talking around four million Iraqis and Syrians live under ISIS rule," said Shadi Hamid, fellow at the Brookings Institution's Center for Middle East Policy.
Hamid also says to expect to see ISIS around for the foreseeable future.

Full Moon: understanding karma
and its role in my writing
Welcome to the Full Moon Post, today’s letter is an examination of karma. If you are new here or a free subscriber, you will meet a paywall partway down. Doing this work is time consuming and I am working through what I offer paid subscribers and what remains free here. If you find this work valuable, please consider supporting it work with a paid subscription, or help expand my readership by sharing with others. So grateful that you are here reading.
In the Full Moon Posts, you get shorter pieces where I bring together some concepts that influence the longer essays that I am working on, like this one about karma. It’s new writing, and therefore rough. I am still working it out. Your comments and feedback are helpful. In my Songs of Forgiveness letter of October 25 of 2022 I mention karma and the Buddhist story of Angulimala and the particular karma we are working through here in Minnesota, where the US - Dakota war took place.
With this full moon, we have rolled around to the forgiveness side of the Lunation once again. I speak to that in the meditation that is linked below. There is a great need to revisit stories of the past with a lens of compassion in order to find forgiveness, for ourselves, for the others, for our ancestors and through that create an ethical future for us all. That’s the kind of karma I aim to influence.
Until recent years, Karma, as I understood it, was a state brought on by sinning. It was something that people had, like a disease. It seemed connected to single acts or behaviors. Like a vibe you wore, or actually didn’t want to wear. The curse of “bad karma” could haunt you.
The consequences in this lifetime are clumsiness, showing up as falls and accidents, or more obscure consequences that come as punishment in the afterlife.
And sometimes karma was just your fate, predetermined and beyond your control.
And then there was a song by Culture Club, “Karma Chameleon,” which seemed like nonsense words. What is a Karma Chameleon? Yet today, with my broader context for the forces that come together to create karma, or behaviors that can transform karma, Boy George may have understood the concept of Karma better than our western culture’s misrepresentation of it.
If you're really a mean person you're going to come back as a fly and eat poop. -Kurt Cobain
Buddhism teaches that all things happen as they should. Meaning, when you say something “shouldn’t” have happened that is a false understanding of how things work. Things that shouldn’t have happened, don’t, and everything that has happened, should have, because causes and conditions led up to that moment in time.

“Ambition” is the 25th release in the Field Notes Colors series of limited edition notebooks.
The three pack contains a datebook, ledger and memo book.
Let me say right off the bat that I do not have any use for a datebook or a ledger and I would have liked more memo books in any of the standard formats (dot grid, blank, lined, etc…). That aside, I think this is one of the very best Colors editions.
I love the subdued covers with gold embossed logos, gold colored staples, and gold leaf gilded edges. These books are nice.
The paper holds up to fountain pen ink quite well though thicker and juicer pens will bleed through.
I hope the Field Notes decides to make the Ambition memo book part of their permanent line. I would happily pay a premium for it over the standard memo book.

CLEVELAND (TheBlaze/AP) — Paging, Dr. Shumpert.
Cavaliers guard Iman Shumpert showed he has more than basketball skills by calmly delivering a baby girl when his fiancee unexpectedly went into labor.

Now that's quite an assist.
According to Shumpert's fiancee, Teyana Taylor, the couple welcomed their daughter Wednesday morning in their bathroom at home. Taylor posted on her Instagram account that she didn't initially realize she was in labor and Shumpert, "playing Dr," helped deliver their baby who "entered this world into his bare hands!"
"Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator," Shumpert tied a pair of headphones around the umbilical cord while they waited for the ambulance to arrive, Taylor said.
"She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete," Taylor added. "Her blueprint will be unmatched."
Mom's message to her daughter — Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. — is: "Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl."
Shumpert, who is in his second season with Cleveland, did not play Thursday night against Oklahoma City because of a strained right groin. He sustained the injury against the Celtics, just hours before he performed his special delivery.
He arrived at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday shortly before the Cavs tipped off against the Thunder and received congratulatory handshakes in the hallway outside Cleveland's locker room.
Shumpert recently returned to the lineup after missing 21 games following wrist surgery.

Although much has been written about the benefits of franchising versus small business, there are still many questions and issues. There are a lot of differences between running an independent business and purchasing a franchise. While often compared and contrasted to one another, these are two separate business ventures. They each come with advantages and disadvantages that should be considered before any initial investment. For example, owning your own, original businesses gives you full control of products, services and staff. Franchising, when matched up against a small business however, offers benefits like increased brand recognition, more available resources, and perhaps most importantly, a higher success rate, but there are other benefits of franchising. Click here to visit: DrPhoneFix Franchise Information
Benefits of Franchising Business is real
The ownership model of a small business is completely up to you. You can sell whatever product you would like, performed services anywhere you want and hire employees at your own discretion. Marketing, human resources and administrative process are all created by you, the way you want. Owning a business gives you total, 100% control. You have no one to answer to except yourself, and of course the government. Since franchises have a headquarters and high-level management team, owners can’t simply change the products and services they offer or the colors of the logo and successful the model of the business. The franchising company predetermines all these aspects. See also Cell Phone Repair Franchise
Benefits of Franchising: Brand Recognition
On the other hand, franchising offers brand recognition right from the beginning. As an owner, you don’t have to start from scratch promoting your company and trying to get your name out to potential customers. Your company will already be recognizable and may even have brand loyal customers that you don’t have to attain on your own, but that just come to you. Major franchises like Subway or Chipotle offer extreme brand recognition that couldn’t easily be replicated by a smaller start up company. A franchise has already made a name of itself so you don’t have to, all you have to do is invest and manage this extended branch of the organization, the name and brand have already been solidified. You are never alone in franchising either. Investing in this type of business opportunity provides you with many resources as an owner and manager.
Benefits of Franchising: A Prosperous Future.
A variety of franchises offer training and the initial products you will need to set up your location. They might have annual conferences or a network of franchise owners that you can go to for advice. Individual business owners don’t have an already built network ready to help them overcome business obstacles. Franchises don’t want to see their franchisees fail so they typically do all that they can to provide investors with the information, collateral and resources they might need to be profitable. In fact, when it comes to being profitable, franchises have a much higher success rate than individual small or start up business ventures. Also read Franchise Opportunities Under 50000
It is a combination of the franchising benefits as well as the structure of agreements that makes investing in a franchise a safer and less risky business investment. If you open your own business and it fails, only you lose money. Many people are wondering Am I A Good Franchise Candidate? When you purchase a franchise and it fails, you, the management team and the owners all lose money – and no one wants that.

|Mourners grieve at the funeral and memorial service for the six victims of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin mass shooting in Oak Creek, Wis. (AP) from http://hereandnow.wbur.org/2012/08/10/sikh-temple-memorial|
We are better than this. We shouldn't be having funerals like this on a regular basis. We can stop mass shooters from getting guns if we but try. We can make our gun laws more in sync with what the public supports if we but try. We can make reasonable gun laws that don't infringe on rights if we but try. We can talk about guns and gun policy at election time if we but try. We can have that necessary national conversation about the gun culture in America and gun policy in America if we but try. And many, even on the right, are suggesting that we should. This article written by Republican pollster Frank Luntz for the conservative Washington Post should be heeded by those who think the NRA and its' minions don't want sensible gun laws. Actually, NRA members want sensible gun laws. It's their leadership and a few gun rights extremists that don't appear to want anything to interfere with the agenda of fear and paranoia. From Luntz's comments in the article:On the other hand, the NRA’s fundraising has seen significant benefits from the 1996 law that did away with interstate sale of ammunition to consumers. That means that gun nuts, as well as mass-killers, can now buy as much ammunition online as they want to. And that’s just what Aurora, Colorado shooter Holmes did; he purchased 6,000 rounds. Then he used it to kill and maim 70 people. Naturally, the NRA praised the law as the “greatest legislative milestone.”But in addition to a law aiding mass-killers like Loughner, Holmes and Page, the NRA has taken in $9.3 million since 1992 in connection with the MidwayUSA website that sells ammunition—like James Holmes purchased—and which kicks back a portion of the proceeds to the NRA. Owner Larry Potterfield simply asks customers to “round up” their orders to the nearest dollar for the NRA. It is this kind of despicable collaboration between gun nuts that keeps the killings going.
Again, there are so many articles and blogs about our gun culture and the call for changing our laws that I can't even begin to do justice to them. The last two weeks has provided many opportunities to write about gun violence in America. I will provide links to just some of them here:Once again, we found that gun owners passionately believe in their Second Amendment rights but also think those rights can and must be balanced with public safety and national security. For example:85 percent of gun owners agree with the statement, “Support for Second Amendment rights goes hand in hand with keeping illegal guns out of the hands of criminals.” Among members of the NRA, even more agreed — a full 87 percent.82 percent of gun owners support requiring a criminal background check of anyone purchasing a gun.80 percent of gun owners support requiring gun retailers to perform background checks on all employees to ensure they are not felons.76 percent support prohibiting people on terror watch lists from purchasing guns.80 percent also agree that concealed-carry permits should be granted only to applicants who have completed gun safety training.78 percent think concealed-carry permits should be granted only to applicants who have not committed any violent misdemeanors, such as assault.In most cases, NRA member support for these reforms was slightly lower than that of the gun-owner population, but in all cases, it was well above a majority. NRA members aren’t extremist outliers; they are good Americans who happen to think like the rest of America.The truth is that gun owners, including significant majorities of NRA members, prize public safety and national security. They think gun rights should be balanced with measures to protect America’s citizens and communities. They think those who abuse gun laws should be punished to the maximum extent of the law.Some conservatives will read this and think it’s a sellout to advocates of gun control. Some liberals will read this and think it’s a sellout to the NRA. The fact is, virtually all Americans think that with rights come responsibilities, and gun ownership is no different. Few believe in absolutes, including members of the NRA.The debate about Second Amendment rights is complex, and it will continue long after the TV trucks leave Aurora. Yes, we are a divided nation. But when it comes to keeping illegal guns out of the hands of those who would use them for harm, Americans are much closer than they may realize.
Why the NRA is responsible for mass shootings- from Penigma
It's time to challenge the Second Amendment by Sanjay Sanghoee for Huffington Post
Countless Lives Sacrificed to NRA Conceits by Michele Swenson for Huffington Post
The Random Musings blog writes: Dear NRA. What's the magic number?
New CNN polling is showing support for specific measures in gun policy that would have the affect of reducing and preventing gun deaths and injuries. From the article about the polling:
Do I sense a drum beat? Do I sense consensus? Do I sense that the tide is changing? Do I sense an organization shirking it's responsibilities to American citizens and hiding behind the Second Amendment to get its' way while protecting the gun industry? Do I sense that when a country experiences too many mass shootings in too short a time, patience is waning for the NRA's extreme agenda?The poll indicates that two meet with almost unanimous approval: Ninety-six percent are in favor of background checks and 91% support laws to prevent convicted felons or people with mental health problems from owning guns.Three-quarters of people questioned favor gun registration with local governments, and roughly six in ten favor bans on the sale or possession of semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity ammunition clips. But 54% oppose a limit on the number of guns an individual can own, and only one in ten think that all Americans should be prevented from owning guns."It's important to note that the numbers on those proposals have also remained essentially unchanged in the wake of the recent shootings," adds Holland.
In memory of the victims, let's get started. It's time for common sense and even NRA members know it. Who will convince their leadership that the time is now? Certainly not me. Who will convince our elected leaders that the time for common sense about guns and gun laws is now? I will try but it has to be the public, including gun owners, who will demand a plan from our elected leaders. Speak up. Don't be afraid of the conversation. Don't let our elected leaders run away from their responsibilities fo keep our communities safe from senseless gun deaths. If not now, when? After the next funeral of mass shooting victims? Or the one after that? Here are the names of the victims of the Sikh temple shooting. Please remember them today:
Bhai Seeta Singh
Bhai Parkash Singh
Bhai Ranjit Singh
Satwant Singh Kaleka
Parmjit Kaur Toor
UPDATE ( 8/10/12):
There's been another mass shooting in America. This time in Alabama. Just another day in America.
I simply must add this article that just came to my attention: Guns, Butter and Then Some:
We’ve experimented with little or no gun control. It doesn’t work. Let’s try something else: real gun control. That will work; after all, it was law enforcement officials and unarmed citizens — not vigilantes — who apprehended Mr. Loughner, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Page. Then perhaps we’ll be encouraged to move in better directions on other issues we need to tackle: Health care. Diet. Climate change. Our lives ride on all of these.Also this post from New Trajectory:- How Many Shootings Does It Take? From the post:
So, what will it take?? At what point will our leaders take action to keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them, such as by demanding background checks for all gun sales, including private sales? How many mass murders will it take to finally ban assault weapons? At what point will the background check system actually be strengthened? At what point will we mandate safe storage of guns in homes with children?Will it take running gun battles in every town, every week?Will every school and theater have to have an armed guard in every room?Will every family in America have to lose someone to gun violence first?Will every city and organization have to make evacuation plans for shootings, as the city of Houston did with a recently produced video?How much of a war zone are we willing to tolerate? How much blood will it take?Or will the gun lobby continue pressing for gun deregulation and more guns in more hands until we’re all dead or living in fortresses?I want to know, Mr. LaPierre. How many deaths does it take?

"Paradise Lost: Reclaiming Destiny" (Review) -- Stage Raw
You don’t need to brush up on your Milton to enjoy this splendid adaptation of his great epic Paradise Lost, which tells the story of Satan’s consignment to Hell and Adam and Eve’s fall from Eden. Jones (Welsh) Talmadge, creator of this gorgeous and dynamic shindig, has crafted the work into a ballet, with Cirque Du Soleil-like acrobatic undercurrents. But while Paradise Lost has been set to dance before, Talmadge’s production melds technology into the mix, balancing the movement with adroit video images, which are controlled by handheld joysticks held by the dancers while they dance. The result of all this is a production that feels entirely original and creative — but still packs the emotional impact of its source material, rendered with sincerity and total commitment.
The play starts in Heaven, where a Father God (J-Walt Adamczyk, who also designed the stunning videography) and a Mother God (Marguerite French) wave their computer mice and create a universe which explodes on the white screen behind them in bursts of stylized color. They also create a giant band of gymnastically agile angels, as well as a handsome and beloved Son (Zachary Reeve Davidson) who is allowed to manipulate the holy mouse of creation, just like his parents.
One single angel (Talmadge) becomes jealous of the Son and tries to seize his creative power. This angel’s pride, which leads to his eviction from Heaven, not only turns him into the Satan we know and hate, but also creates the vile forces of Sin (Laura Covelli) and Death (James Bane). Simmering in the Hellish world they’ve made for themselves, the Demonic Crew (joined by some wicked angels also tossed from Heaven) scheme to regain their former power by corrupting the newly created Adam (Leslie Charles Roy Jr.) and Eve (Alina Bolshakova). Chaos, quite literally, ensues.
Collaborating with several ensemble members on the choreography, Talmadge crafts a production that crackles with energy and liveliness, imaginatively employing both acrobatics and ballet to tell this time-honored story in strikingly innovative ways. When his Satan plummets from Heaven to Hell, the moment becomes a staggeringly powerful gymnastic act that utilizes chains and spins — during which Talmadge elegantly conveys the agony of the drop as well as the distance his character is traveling. Later, as Adam and Eve are gradually corrupted by Satan’s wiles, Death and Sin come dancing on, dressed as a perfect couple from 1950s Americana, except they start to beat and rape each other — behavior which imprints on Adam and Eve as they eat the Sinful Apple.
The movement is enhanced by Adamczyk’s artful computer generated video images, which virtually become characters themselves. There’s something magical about the way the performers stretch out their arms and whole worlds bloom on the screen behind them, as if from the dancers’ fingertips. Credited co-composers Alysia Michelle James and Bernie Sirelson’s electronic score, which accompanies the various tableaux and computer imagery, is suitably hymn-like, and creates a church ambiance.
It would be quite easy for this material to come across as evangelical or overly mawkish, but the ensemble hit just the right note as they explore Milton’s notions of the genesis of evil from pride and envy. First rate performances are offered by all, but Talmadge’s evolution from an angelic to a leering Satan is particularly compelling — and so are Adamczyk and French as Ma and Pa God (though it may be best not to ask why God is a couple).
Greenway Court Theatre, 544 N. Fairfax Ave, Los Angeles; Fri.- Sat., 8 p.m; Sun., 7 p.m.; through April 2. (323) 673-0544 or www.greenwaycourttheatre.org/paradiselost. Running time: 70 minutes.

1912 Funeral Bill
Our Firm began Down on the river selling caskets, and we have records dating back to 1905. The first recorded owners were a partnership by the name of Skipworth & Glidewell, then in 1908 was sold to J.R. Keen & Sam Smith. In 1911 Mr. Smith Died and his son Finis F. Smith purchased his fathers interest in the business. Sometime in the early 1900’s Mr. Keen sold his interest to Finis’s brother Mr. John Peyton Smith. In 1919 Mr. Peyton Smith went to Undertaker’s school in Roswell, New Mexico, becoming the First person in Cumberland County to have an Undertakers license, (he was already a licensed Pharmacist).
The Undertaking Co. was located up over Smith Pharmacy and continued operations there until 1941 When The Firm was Sold to Mr. & Mrs. J.B. (Bronson & Kate) Moore, it then moved to a little house somewhere near Long’s Auto Sales is now.
The next move was to the building beside the Burkesville First United Methodist Church. In 1949 Mr. Moore Purchased the Edens Home on hwy 61 (our present location) and sold the old building to Dr. Joseph Shickels. We are grateful The Moores had the foresight to move to this location, (people told him it was to far out of town).
Mr and Mrs. Bronson Moore
Silas and Oleta Norris
In the meantime Mr. Moore had hired a newly wed Silas A. Norris (In 1945) to help him and in 1955 sold ½ interest to he and Oleta.
In 1959 they purchased the Moore’s remaining interest and became sole owners. They operated the firm until the last day of 1985 when it was sold to Mark C. New who presently solely owns it, and operates it with his fine staff.

The new venue Hotel National des Invalides had "Dior" written simply, dramatically across the front as a fashion crowd that included everyone from Kanye to Leelee Sobieski made their way inside for Raf Simons's latest lineup. That in itself is a big way to start a show — the evidence of some pretty high expectations for Simons's Spring debut, which happily lived up to the hype. Raf knows how to excite, but it's not for show either; it's modern and wearable, giving Dior a contemporary edge that hasn't been there for a long time. Hemlines were shorter and dresses were sexier, though the most obvious nods to the future were in Raf's pearlescent, iridescent fabrications that covered tops and microminis. It was an awesome play with proportions and silhouettes that Simons masterfully crafted with reimagined suiting — blazers as dresses, slashed pleats, new iterations of Dior's ladylike jackets. Then, the collection gave way to the real head-turners, minimalist shifts and strapless A-line dresses electrified with a flash of neoprene and a whimsical, pearl-like shimmer. The sheer and lace overlays were both entirely feminine but not girlie or precious; they were cool. Even the eveningwear was cool: uniquely crafted and displays of tulle and embellishment used sparingly, just enough to spark interest on — but not overwhelm — a black cocktail dress. For the finale, we got a little more volume and glamour, but it was all elegant and tempered, giving us the most modern rendition of the ballgown with slim, semisheer tops and full skirts covered in iridescent florals. These may be the pieces the Hollywood set turns to for dressing up, but the collection in its entirety proved Raf is adept at building a collection and a design house capable of far more. The pieces in this lineup could take you well beyond red-carpet appearances and the elite cocktail-party circuit (if, of course, you can afford a piece).
- Trends: Iridescent fabrications, suiting, stripes, sheer and lace overlay, asymmetrical cuts, and peplum.
- Colors: Iridescent pastels, charcoal gray, black, white, a flash of bright citron, orange, and fuchsia.
- Key Piece: The pearlescent dresses and tops were brilliant; we also loved the smart, sexy plays on suiting.
- Accessories: Scarves, pointed-toe pumps, metallic heels, metal cuffs, classic handbags.
- Who Should Wear It: The iridescent violet asymmetrical mini was made for Diane Kruger; attendee Leelee Sobieski should wear the white blazer-style dress.

Why? Well, warm periods have occured in the past, and if not the medieval period, then probably the last interglacial (120,000 years ago), certainly the Pliocene (3 million years ago), without question the (Eocene 50 million years), and in particular the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (55 million years ago), and so on. Current theories of climate change do not rely on whether today’s temperatures are ‘unprecedented’. Instead they examine the physical causes of climate change and match up what we know about their physical effects and time history and see which of the multiple drivers or combination can best explain the observations. For the last few decades, that is quite clearly the rise in greenhouse gases, punctuated by the occasional volcano and mitigated slightly by the concomittant rise in particulate pollution.

Hello, and welcome to this week’s #WiPWednesday post! #WiPWednesday is a weekly meme started by Brigid Gorry-Hines from Wordfare. Every Wednesday, I’m supposed to post an update about my WiP (Work in Progress), including word count and where I’m at in writing/revising it. Hopefully, doing this meme will keep me motivated to continue working on my WiP.
So let’s get started! I’ll try to fill out these categories as best as I can.
WIP: The L.S. M.S.
Writing or Revising?
I’m still rewriting scenes, but, because I’ve been reading, I’ve pretty much made no progress.
Current Word Count: 98, 072
A two-word difference from last week’s check in.
How It’s Going:
I barely touched my manuscript this week, and, while I’m kind of ashamed about it, it’s also been nice to just focus on reading for a little bit. As school starts, I’ll probably have to squeeze reading and writing in whenever I can manage, but I plan to try and write/revise more regularly once I finish all the library books I’ve checked out. Then there won’t be as much pressure, hopefully.
Goal for Next Week:
Maybe actually write something this time around? Hahaha.

There is not any one magic food recipe that will guarantee conception, but what you eat can increase your chance for conceiving. One thing you have to do is start eating healthy. Start by eating less meat and more vegetables. You should be eating a lot of green vegetables. If you are not big on vegetables, you can chop them up real small and add them to your meatloaf and you probably won't even taste them.
Things to Eat Or Drink to Help Bring Fertility Back
It is good for you to drink plenty of green tea and Vitamin C too. Studies have shown that women who make these a part of their diet are more likely to become pregnant. Trans fat is something that you want to avoid whether you are trying to get pregnant or not. Trans fat is found in all kinds of foods. Here is a list of the top seven Trans fat foods.
1. Margarine - is loaded with trans fats and saturated fats, both of which can lead to heart disease. Look for soft-tub margarine because it is less likely to have trans fat.
2. Packaged foods - Cake mixes and other mixes have several grams of trans fat per serving. Look for reduced fat mixes.
3. Soups - Ramen noodles contain high levels of trans fat. See if you can find fat free or reduced fat soups.
4. Fast Food - Fries, chicken, and other foods are deep-fried in partially hydrogenated oil.
5. Frozen Food - Those delicious frozen pies, pot pies, pizzas, and waffles hs trans fat. In frozen foods, baked is always heart-healthier than breaded.
6. Baked Goods - More trans fat are used in baked products than any other foods.
7. Cookies and cakes from your local grocery have plenty of trans fat in them.
If you and your partner are really trying to get pregnant you should consider the importance of a healthy diet. Making small changes in what you eat and drink can make the difference between conceiving or not being able to conceive.
You don't have to drastically change your diet to improve your chances of fertility, but one easy thing you can do is to drink more water. Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily will help to increase your fertility levels. Also, you should be eating high-fiber low-fat foods. This will improve your hormonal balance which will help your chances to conceive.
Add Color to Your Diet
You should eat more brightly colored fruits and vegetables. These foods are nutrient rich and have plenty of vitamin B and folic acid. These foods are essential for healthy sperm and ovaries. Fruits and vegetables also have plenty of vitamin C and iron. Both enhance the quality of sperm and improve the immune system. It is a good idea to include plenty of fruits in your diet.
Wholesome Grain Foods
Another food that you need to include for a healthy fertility diet are nutrient rich whole grains. These include brown rice, corn, whole wheat bread, millet, pasta, and oats. Whole grain foods are rich in vitamins E and B which are essential for the production of healthy eggs, hormone balance, and sperm.
Eat lots of Nuts!
Nuts contain natural plant proteins. Nuts and whole grains also contain vitamin B6 and folic acid which raise your fertility levels. Here are six of the healthiest nuts to eat.
1. Walnuts are a great source of healthy omega-3 essential fatty acids which have been found to protect the heart, promote better cognitive function, and provide anti-inflammatory benefits for asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema and psoriasis.
2. Almonds contain almost 25 percent of your needed daily value for the important nutrient magnesium plus is rich in potassium, manganese, copper, the antioxidants vitamin E and selenium, and calcium.
3. Cashews are a lot lower in fat than most nuts, and 65 percent of this fat is unsaturated fatty acids. 90 percent is folic acids, which is a heart healthy fat found in olive oil.
4. Pecans are a great source of over 19 vitamins and minerals including vitamins E and A, copper, manganese, potassium, zinc, folic acid and calcium.
5. Brazil Nuts are very nutrient-rich and contain protein, copper, niacin, magnesium, fiber, vitamin E and Selenium. Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that works to neutralize dangerous free radicals. Studeis have shown that high amounts of selenium in Brazil nuts could help to prevent breast cancer.
6. Macadamia Nuts are high in protein, fiber, healthy monounsaturated fats, potassium and magnesium.
Fish in your diet
Omega 3 which is mostly found in fish oil helps fertility as it linked to healthy hormone function. Good sources of iron and selenium are seafood, meat and poultry.
A good well balanced fertility diet should include five servings of fruit and vegetables, two or three servings of protein and dairy products, and five to six servings of grains. This diet will ensure you have all the vitamins and minerals your body needs. Try to eat smaller meals because three full meals can cause constipation, bloating and pre-menstrual syndrome troubles. These are the Things to Eat Or Drink to Help Bring Fertility Back.

The headquarters of the ATO stated in a release on 13 February that in violation of the ceasefire agreement, Russia-backed militant forces during the day have been shelling the positions of Ukrainian military with heavy weapons. The release warns that ATO forces will open fire in response in case the shelling continues.
In the Donetsk and Mariupol sectors the enemy shelled the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 122-mm artillery, tanks, 120- and 82- mm mortars, the report said.
"The headquarters of the anti-terrorist operation warn that in case of continuation of the provocative attacks at Ukrainian positions after 16.30 and in order to avoid casualties among the personnel, the ATO forces will be forced to open an adequate return fire. The Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the ceasefire and stabilization of the contact line has been informed about this decision," the release said.
The new ceasefire was to become effective as of midnight on February 9 in accordance with the agreement previously reached in Minsk.
ATO forces have reported no casualties in recent days.

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese Economy Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura said on Friday, at the opening of meeting of a panel of health experts, that he wanted to remove coronavirus-related restrictions on events such as Kabuki theatre performances and classical music concerts.
Nishmura added that cases of infection tied to such events have been falling. He also said the government wanted to remove some restrictions on other events, such as rock concerts. The panel was set to debate these measures following Nishimura’s remarks.

So spring has taken too long to arrive. I’m not sure if it’s because winter began in October, or if spring really is lagging. The warm weather certainly hasn’t arrived.
Last year we were fishing in the river by the end of April and hammering the salmon. This year, we were on the river in our winter underwear, praying for a bite and a little sun to warm us up. I never thought I’d be saying this, but the mosquitoes and black flies finally have arrived so it shouldn’t be much longer. Just take a look at the difference a year can make. Mother Nature is miraculous, and she’s working hard to catch up.
These are photos of the end of April thru the middle of May 2017. I’m still waiting for my birds to return to my wreath.
In 2018 we were fishing, finding and foraging all through May. Turtle were laying their eggs, fish was abundant as were the mushrooms. We didn’t get many morels, but it was a dry spring.
This year, we’re still waking up to a heavy frost and the camper heater has run all night long. Mayflowers stayed in the bloom the longest ever. We just found fiddleheads up north when they’d gone by at home. We haven’t found any oyster mushrooms, but the morel mushrooms didn’t disappoint in this wet weather and arrived right on schedule. The salmon are just beginning to bite, the brook trout are just starting to rise for mayflies, but we still haven’t seen a deer fawn, moose calf, or turtle. We’ve still seen some amazing animals: grouse, beaver, frog eggs, rabbits, geese and goslings, wood ducks, mergansers, and we even spotted some chaga. Oh, yeah, that is bear scat and a snake. We photograph everything we find. Enjoy!
The week’s weather finally is starting to look like it might actually be sunny. I hope you’ll get out and enjoy the outdoors.
As Mother’s Day and Father’s Day fast approaches, I am facing my firsts without my parents. Many of you know that I unexpectedly lost my mother last June, then my father passed suddenly and unexpectedly in September 2018. Life was feeling pretty grim, and then I was dealt a sucker punch to the gut when my older sister, Kathi, passed away unexpectedly in February 2019. It’s been rough, and it honestly still hurts, but I’ve had some time to think about each of them, and how much they contributed to my being who I am today. This is a tribute to them.
When you’re born, you get “your mother’s eyes, or your father’s nose” and temperament falls in there somewhere. Yes, biology has a lot to do with who we are as people, but what really makes me who I am, is all the stuff Mom, Dad, and all of us went through together as I grew up.
I didn’t come from a hunting family. My mother’s family hunted and fished, and my mother loved to fish from the time she was old enough to hold a pole. I remember my mother telling me how hungry she was as a child so I can only imagine how much a caught fish meant to a hungry belly. I don’t have many photos of my mother, only a few in her youth, but the ones I found show her holding a nice fish.
My father’s family was known to be outright poachers in order to feed themselves. In fact, the one time my grandfather bought a license, he was teased by the town clerk. As a teenager, I remember asking my father why we didn’t hunt. His response was that he hated mosquitoes. At first this seemed odd since mosquitoes are gone by November then he told me that my grandfather made him go hunt with him in the spring and summer, and as my father batted off mosquitoes, my grandfather kept scolding my father for moving. And my inheriting my father’s mosquito magnet traits explains why I hate them so much.
Later in life, my dad fished on Serpentine stream in his party boat, but he really didn’t care if he ever caught anything; he preferred playing cribbage with his in-laws.
So how is it possible that I love hunting and fishing so much? Yes, I am very thankful to have such a loving and supportive husband who has been willing to show me and share with me his love of hunting and fishing. John took me out on my first turkey hunt, my first deer hunt, and we learned how to fly fish together, but while some say it’s only one person that they credit as making it all possible, I say, it really isn’t all him. Without the love and support from my family, I never would have had the qualities necessary to try this new way of life or the belief that I could do it.
You see, my mother was way ahead of her time. She fished when none of her friends fished; however, she wasn’t a mother who just stood by while the kids fished. She fished and fished well, usually out-fishing all of us.
She was a survivor, never having it easy, but she persevered. My mother never emphasized beauty over brains. I watched my mother go to work every day in the shoe shop. We didn’t have the luxury of having a stay-at-home mom, but working gave my mother confidence and independence, and eventually, she worked her way up to having a salaried job that was typically held by men. She was never afraid to try anything, and she even coached the only girls baseball team in the league when only boys played ball and society hadn’t figured out how to indoctrinate girls into softball. As a young girl, I preferred to hit the baseball over softball. I loved the “crack” of the bat and the speed of the ball, and the fact that I truly believed I was a better baseball player than a lot of the boys I played against.
I also remember my mother donning a big orange jacket, loading her gun and in her little go-go boots, head out for an afternoon of deer hunting. That was my mom. She wasn’t afraid to try anything even though she wasn’t particularly athletic. I never heard my mother say she couldn’t do anything because she was a girl…never, ever. And for that, I am truly thankful.
My father worked every day, never missing work even when he didn’t feel good or got hurt on the job. I remember my father pushing through the pain of two broken heels after falling from a ladder and going to work on crutches. My father showed hard work paid off, and taking care of the family came first.
He also worked on his education as a non-traditional student and earned his electrician’s license while also being enlisted in the Army National Guard, and working all the time.
My father could fix anything, and my father was smart. I always thought I got my smarts from him, but I realize that my mother was smart too.
Dad showed me that if you wanted something bad enough you had to work for it. He taught me the ability to stick to something and never give up. While my father teased me for being “butch” and liking to do “boy” things, he never made me stop doing what I loved to do. He let me, be me, and didn’t try to make me be someone I wasn’t. And for that, I am truly thankful.
My sister Kathi was my role model growing up. I watched her overcome adversity as a teen mother, and finish her nursing education. I was always so proud of her accomplishments. She worked full-time and went on to earn her college degree while maintaining a family, a house and home. I got to see the stability and independence she gained by being able to have a professional job. She too learned from my parents that perseverance and hard work pays off, and despite obstacles we may have encountered, we could do anything.
Kathi even began hunting long before me. I was so impressed to hear her stories, and listen how both she and my younger sister went hunting. Kathi was always my biggest cheerleader no matter what I did in life, including when it came to my blog and the hunting stories I wrote. And for that, I am truly thankful.
Time will heal my broken heart, and my loved ones will continue to influence who I am. Although I may not be everything, or any one thing, that my three family members were, there are bits and pieces of their genes and characteristics coursing through my veins, and in my heart and mind, they have given me the strength to be persistent, to persevere, and to know that I can do anything I set my mind to doing, including being the best outdoors woman I can be. And for that, I am truly thankful.
Me and John sharing a turkey hunt together. And for that, I am truly thankful.
Winter is always a tough time for me. Once trapping season ends leaving only beaver trapping, the only things I have to choose from is snowshoeing, shed hunting, rabbit hunting, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.
Okay, so there’s lots to do but I never seem to have the time to get out and do as much. So many of these are weather dependent and the amount of snow we have directly affects how much rabbit hunting we get to do. I get to snowshoe, but it’s a lot harder when you still sink a foot in the snow on snowshoes, and sheds end up buried so you can’t find them. I had plans for a girls’ day out to ice fish last week, but the rain storm put the kibosh to that, and we ended up snowshoeing.
However, the one thing I’ve continued is keeping the game camera out on our deer carcasses in hopes I’ll get to hunt a coyote or bobcat before the season ends. Frozen and buried under snow, I am shocked at how many critters find the deer carcasses. From chickadees, squirrels and owls to coyotes and bobcat, I’ve been having more fun checking the game camera and planning my next hunt!

I plan to try to hunt those stinking coyote and bobcat one way or another, and if I can get our FoxPro predator caller to work for more than a few seconds at a time, that would help. I made the mistake of leaving batteries in it and they’ve corroded. I cleaned it, but it’s still not working right. I may be buying a new one, but we’ll keep that here info on the blog…no one else needs to know.

Sometimes I’m lucky to get early evening or early morning pictures….which gives me hope to get a chance to hunt these critters. They’re even more eerie seeing them in color! Despite their reputation, they are really quite beautiful to see. I bet their fur is soft!

As I listened to the radio, I heard Olympic champion, Scott Hamilton describe how incredibly hard it was for him to realize that in all the times he failed, he was learning and taking in information eventually to be successful. “Everything that I’ve ever been able to accomplish in skating and in life has come out of adversity and perseverance.”
And this pretty much is how I feel about bear hunting. Bear hunting isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be by the anti-hunting establishment. My husband John, and I love to bear hunt, and we do it all ourselves. Bear hunting on your own requires a lot of preparation and perseverance, and just as with any kind of hunting, it takes a little luck. We’ve been at this bear hunting for some time now, but I only started bear hunting four years ago. It’s quickly become my favorite season. The anticipation that builds with a month of baiting prior to the actual hunt, followed by hours upon hours sitting and waiting for a bear to show up makes for exciting adventures. Every year that we hunt, we encounter new obstacles, and each year we learn more and more on how to be successful, but no year is a guarantee.
Every year, the different weather patterns and natural food conditions directly affect how bears behave. Beechnuts were abundant in 2017, and literally the day the wind blew and the nuts fell, the bears stopped coming to the bait…well, except for the sow and cubs, which I wouldn’t shoot. They continued to visit the bait and I’d watch them for a bit in hopes someone else would show up.
This year, there were few natural berries or beechnuts, and the land that we hunt on has almost no oaks or apple trees, so come July, the bears were hungry to put on some extra fat before they den up for the winter. This makes for a prime baiting season, but these type of conditions can also be a problem for bear hunters since bears will den early if there isn’t enough food, i.e., the right kind of food.
We started off our season by securing three barrels of bait, which would give us enough bait for three sites. Given a few choices, we opted for the donuts over the trail mix and granola. We also has some really yummy frosting, but we didn’t get as many flavor choices as the previous year and had only one peanut butter bucket.

Once the baiting season began, we baited the two established sites we had, plus we baited two new sites further and deeper up the mountain where they would be less chance of any human interference that might keep bears away during daylight hours. These two new sites proved to be key in our consistently having daylight bears on our sites for the first time in several years. More importantly, we had several new bear that we had never seen.
Scrapper was an old bear that had been on my lower bait site for three straight years, but this year he never showed up. Along with one sow and a cub, we had several bruins, young and mature as well as a well-known sow that had no cubs this year. Last year, she had three cubs, but none were with her this season.
After testing out our sites, John opted for the “tunnel bait”, and I took the “top bait”. We continued to bait the established bait that was mine, but discontinued the other one since it had no bear on it.
The first day of bear hunting was a well anticipated day. The sun was shining, but it wasn’t hot and humid as it had been the last two years. Bears move more in cooler weather, so I was optimistic that I’d have a bear this year. I even had a different gun than I had planned to use originally. My son, Tyler scored a moose permit so he bought a new .45-70 rifle. I was so impressed with how easy it was to shoot that I asked him if I could use it. This gun felt like a cannon with a short barrel, so it was easy for me to handle. The only obstacle was that it didn’t have a scope so I had to get used to shooting with an open sited rifle. I’m used to shooting rifles with scopes, so this was new to me.
I strategically drove my four-wheeler most of the way to my stand, but left it about 100 yards away at the bottom of the mountain. I hiked up to my tower stand and took my seat. The sun was hot on my back. I had my new Ozonics running above my head, and I also had a jelly donut scent stick burning. Behind me I could see far off mountains, and the light breeze kept the mosquitoes and bugs at bay. I watched several gray and red squirrels duke it out over who could steal the most bait. As the afternoon closed to an end, and with only about thirty minutes left, I reached in my bag for my prescription glasses. As soon as I looked up, I watched the biggest bear from nowhere, come out of the woods from behind the barrel and step out in front of it. At this second, I had a “Holy Crap” moment. Seeing a bear that size, with his black face and back as tall as my barrel, that close, was not something I had ever seen. I pulled my gun up. The bear looked right up at me as I sat in my tower stand. I took aim making sure the front sight was seated at the top of the back peep site. I let out an exhale and shot. The bear acted as though I had hit it and it bolted into the woods.
I sat there in shock. This bear was huge. I think I heard him go down, but I don’t know. I texted John a few expletives that I had shot a bear. I began to shake, which I never do. I had so much adrenaline running through my body, I didn’t think I’d ever stop shaking.
John came and met me at my stand. By then it was dark. Using flashlights, we went to see where I had shot the bear and to go over the whole scenario again so that we could find it. There was a tiny bit of red blood right where he stood. I knew which direction he ran, and we went that way. There was only a tiny drop now and then. I was afraid he was so fat that he wouldn’t bleed, but that’s why I had used the gun I chose…to make sure it made a big hole. We followed into the thickest woods I had ever gone. I heard the bear huff at one point. He was mad, and obviously not dead. It was just too hard and too unsafe to be tracking a wounded bear at night in those kinds of woods, so we backed out and decided to go back in the morning at daylight.
Morning finally came after a toss and turn night. We spent the night in our camper and I awoke to rain drops coming in the roof vent. How are we going to track a bear in the rain?! I was devastated at the thought we might not find my bear. We searched for four hours following just tiny spots of blood, and we never found him. Later I went back to where I had shot at him in front of the barrel. There in the root of the tree was my bullet and some bear hair. I had only grazed him, just enough to make him mad and guarantee that he wouldn’t return this season. I was sick to my stomach that I had lost best chance yet at getting a bear, and a big bear at that.
When I told my son that I couldn’t believe I shot low, and explained how I lined up everything, it was only then that I learned I wasn’t supposed to put the front site at the top of the peep, but center it in the middle. A hard lesson learned for not using a gun I wasn’t totally familiar with, and this failure will haunt me for a very long time. John also lost a bear the same night; a bear that came in but was just out of bow range. He figured it would be back, but it never came back during daylight.
I didn’t feel totally defeated since I am a licensed Maine trapper and I still had a chance to get a bear. This is the second year I have tried to trap bear with a snare. Last year, with sow and cubs nearby, I ended up not being able to trap because I didn’t want to catch a cub in my bucket snare. This year, there was an emergency law passed that banned bucket traps. This left me with either not trapping or having to learn how to trap on a trail, which is what we did.
The very first time we trapped, we tried setting the snare in front of the barrel, but with so many squirrels running all around the barrel, the chances of them tripping the snare before a bear did was inevitable. Opting for a bear trail setup wasn’t hard because the bear had been using so many of them to come to the bait that deciding which trail to use was the hardest.
We moved cameras so that we could monitor bear activity in case the trail we chose wasn’t working. I had a small bear trip my trap, but with the cable stop, it prevented it from being caught. I moved my snare as to not educate the bear. The second tripping was simply the bear didn’t step perfect. I moved my snare again. This time, I put branches in the way so that the bear wouldn’t have any option but to go where I wanted it to go. I set the trap on a downhill walk right where it had put its paw time and time again. Two days went by and I had not hits. Then it rained, which washed away any of our remaining scent from being there. I think this was key to the bear being caught. Yes, I caught a bear. I caught a bear for over 8 hours! And he was mad! He fought and clawed, and chewed at trees to get free. He eventually got himself tangled around a small maple sapling that I had thought wouldn’t be a problem. And he got free. Bears two. Staci zero. So close but no bear for this girl.
We continued to trap with different bait because we ran out of donuts and although we had several other close calls, we never caught another bear for any length of time. Eventually we had to call it quits because the bear never really liked our bait and instead, went to den.
It took me a long time to be able to talk about missing the first bear, especially when seeing posts on social media with picture after picture of “successful” bear hunts. I was embarrassed that I missed. Then I saw a guide post the number of his clients who missed a bear, and I didn’t feel so bad.
Time will heal the failure, and I’ve learned to look at the positive side. We had a successful bear season. We had the most bear ever come during daylight. I know where I’ll hunt next year, and what to use for bait, and I’ll trap a bear next year making sure my catch circle is clear of anything that could help my bear escape.
Next year, I’ll do it all over again because I absolutely love the challenge, the anticipation, the thrill and the rush of bear hunting. But the one thing I have to keep telling myself is that it’s not bear shopping, it’s bear hunting, where nothing is a guarantee. Wish us luck!

Getting drawn for the Maine Moose Hunt is considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. This year marked the fifth do-it-yourself moose hunt that my family went on, and the first time our youngest son, Tyler, got a permit.
Unlike his father, mother and older brother, Tyler doesn’t eat, sleep and hunt the entire hunting season. Although Tyler loves guns and shooting them, he’s never been much about hunting if it requires sitting for long periods of time or really putting in a lot of time. In fact, Tyler has much more interest in shooting than in hunting. He can tell you almost anything about any gun we own, and he has far more fun seeing how many rounds we can go through in a single afternoon than getting up each morning and sitting in a tree stand.
We have a running joke in the family and how Tyler is known for his one-day hunts. The rest of us will hunt day and night, every day, never missing a single chance to hunt and sometimes end up with nothing at the end of the season. Tyler will go out one time and shoot a deer. So when Tyler was drawn for the moose permit, we should have known that his hunt would be nothing like any moose hunt we had experienced.
The first thing Tyler said when he found out he had been drawn? “I can buy a new gun!” And he did just that. I had used Tyler’s .270 rifle for my moose hunt, but for him, it was a great reason to buy another gun. He went to a local firearms dealer and purchased what he described as the “ultimate moose gun”, a 45-70 rifle with open sites. He bought 300 grain bullets to “break it in”, and then some 400+ grain bullets for the hunt. This gun is known for its ability to shoot through brush when a 30.06 rifle’s bullet might ricochet. I was so impressed by it, I used it for my bear hunt, but that’s another story.
For months, we prepped to make sure we had everything we needed. Learning from previous hunts, I stocked the camper with more food and water than the three of us would ever eat in one week, but the last thing I wanted to do was run out of food.
We packed the truck with all the equipment we would need to get the moose out of the woods. We brought the 125 feet of rope, pulleys, block and tackle, a winch, a chainsaw, the big generator as well as the smaller one, and extra gasoline and propane. This may seem excessive, but after two other hunts in the same zone, we knew what we’d need if we were there the entire week.
Tyler drove his SUV and hauled the trailer for the moose while we hauled our camper. Once packed, we headed out to Ashland, Maine for a zone 5 hunt in the North Maine Woods.
Our trip began on Saturday; the day was a bright, sunny, but was downright cold. The weather was perfect for a good glimpse of Mount Katahdin on our four-hour drive. We arrived at the North Maine Woods gate in good time so that we could find one of the campsites we had picked out on the map. Once settled into our campsite, we had supper then sat around a camp fire and stargazed into the North Maine Woods’ skies.
Sunday was our scouting day. We started out by checking a couple roads next to the campsite as we made our way to where we “knew” we could find moose. We spotted a spike moose hanging out in a stand of trees only two roads down from our campsite. As we would say, it that was a moose we’d shoot on the last day, not the first. However, Tyler’s saying is, “don’t pass up on the first day, what you’d shoot on the last.”
In 2012, our oldest son, Zack, harvested a moose in zone 5, and then in 2016, I got my moose in the same zone. We were thinking that we knew exactly where to look for moose. We had forgotten how much the forests and areas change from year to year, and moose don’t stay in the same places either.
My enormous frying pan
Mom and Tyler
Tyler and Dad
We scouted all day, only taking time out to have breakfast on the trail, and for Tyler to shoot his gun to make sure it was still sighted in after the trip.
By the end of the day, we had drove for hours, and had seen only one moose…right next to camp. By then Tyler was irritable and sick of driving. “Why, he asked, are we driving all over when we know there are moose right next to where we are camping?” He was resolved that the moose we had seen was “good enough” and that was a little hard to swallow for Mom and Dad as we figured Tyler would want something more…not necessarily a trophy, but certainly more than a yearling. His reasoning was that if he got a huge moose, he’d have to pay to have it mounted, and he had nowhere to put it in the house…okay son.
This was that moment when we had to say, this is Tyler’s hunt, not ours and the last thing we wanted was for Tyler to go home with nothing, and be upset that we made him hold out for a trophy. We wanted this to be a hunt that he could look back on and smile and say he had a great time with Mom and Dad. It was a tough moment, but instead of arguing or trying to change his mind, we all piled back in the truck, and decided to scout the roads right near our campsite.
Back on the morning road, we were able to find the young bull that we had seen in the morning. It turned out he was much bigger than we had thought. He had bedded down right where we left him. He was a heavy bodied moose with a small rack, but certainly a shooter. I felt a little better that he wasn’t as small as I had initially thought. We watched him for a while. We drove down a couple more roads with no moose sign. On the way back to the camper, I spotted a huge cow moose just standing off the road. We watched this moose for a good twenty minutes. She kept looking back and made no attempts to run away. Further down the road, we made some moose calls, and spotted yet another cow moose. Again, this moose kept looking back. We decided there had to be a bull moose nearby.
We returned to the camper for a late supper and opted to stay in and watch a Tyler-approved movie since it was so cold out. The furnace ran all night in the camper, but a good night’s rest after a good end to the day meant cool heads in the morning.
Morning greeted us with a heavy frost and Orion in the sky brought a smile to our faces. We had our coffee and checked the legal shooting hours one more time. Good thing…because Mom read October instead of September and we barely made it out of the camper in time.
We drove up the road maybe 100 yards and parked. We got out of the truck and began walking. The light breeze was freezing on my ears, but we couldn’t ask for a better morning. It was cold and clear. We hadn’t walked 50 yards when we spotted a small cow moose on our right in a poplar chopping. A good sign! We made our way down to where we had seen the large cow the previous afternoon.
John made cow calls and raked the cedars with his moose shoulder bone. A few grunts…and I heard what I thought was a moose or deer on the opposite side of the road breaking twigs. It was definitely large in my mind. The guys dismissed what I heard as three partridge, which I couldn’t seem to see. I sprayed my cow urine into the wind, which blew back to where we spotted the young cow. We heard no responses, so we turned and walked quietly back toward the truck. I gave a couple more sprays into the air, and got the look of death from my son as he whispered, ”That’s noisy!” Okay then, I’ll just follow along, I thought, as I felt slightly annoyed.
John and Tyler took the lead. We didn’t walk 50 yards before we were back to where we had seen the cow. And there instead of the cow, stood a bull. A bull looking for love. A bigger bull than the one Tyler was set on settling for…just standing there! A quick look at Dad, and Tyler took aim. The bull began to leave, and Tyler gave a grunt. The bull stopped in its tracks. One shot, then an immediate follow up shot, and the bull laid in the twitch trail. He literally dropped in the trail about 30 yards from the road! In less than ten minutes, Tyler’s hunt was over. I made a point to look at Tyler and tell him it was my cow urine that brought him in. A smile and hug from my son and we were good.
Then the real work began. After field dressing and using a pulley and rope to pull him to the edge of the berm on the side of the road, the guys went back and got Tyler’s SUV with the trailer. We backed the trailer up and repositioned the rope and pulley. Using the pickup, we pulled the moose onto the trailer. It was the fastest hunt and moose load we’d ever done.
The moose weighed in at 630 pounds dressed, which is a good size. We submitted the tooth so in a few months, we’ll get to find out the age of the moose. We’re guessing three years old.
And it got even better. We don’t send our game to the butcher. We usually process together, but Tyler processed the entire moose for the remainder of the week. Our freezers are full and we’re enjoying the rewards of a successful hunt. Tyler’s making a European mount so he’ll be able to hang it in his room.
The best part was that we let Tyler have his hunt, his way, and it turned out okay. My one-hunt son got it done on the first day, and there was nothing more satisfying than seeing the smile on his face. It was once again, a learning moment for us. It may not have been the way we would have done it, but it wasn’t about us, and that’s something we need to remind ourselves more often.
So one of the great things about having friends that hunt and fish is that you also get to hear about things they’re doing. My friend Erin, has started writing for the the Drury Outdoors…yes, THE Drury Outdoors…and they have a new DeerCast App that you can download for free to your phone. It’s really cool because it helps you see when it’s a great time to hunt as well as some great articles written by Erin. Read more about it.

Hooray! Many of you have waited a long time for what you may consider a once-in-a-lifetime chance to bag a Maine moose. Your options are simple. You either hire a Registered Maine Guide or you Do-It-Yourself hunt with family and friends. You need to ask yourself what kind of hunt do you want. That will help determine your decision as to whether or not you hire a Registered Maine Guide (RMG).
If you opt for a RMG, there’s a few things you should know when choosing which outfitter you’ll hunt with. I have always assumed that a guided hunt was a rigorous hunt where you schlepped yourself through woods to find the big boy, which isn’t always true. My cousin was a last minute replacement in the lottery. She paid big bucks for a guide so she could literally drive the roads looking for a moose because the guide couldn’t walk far. She was so disappointed and in the end, settled for the one and only moose she saw. Yes, she got a moose, but it wasn’t her dream moose. This kind of hunt works for those who can’t get out into the woods, but if you’re expecting a physical hunt, then not only should you be prepared, but your guide should also be able to meet your expectations. Hiring a guide removes all the “what to do when you get one” and “how to get it out of the woods” dilemma, since they take care of that. You also don’t need to scout, because they’ve done all that…hopefully. Make a list of questions to ask and expect to get the hunt you want.
We just returned from going on my fifth DIY moose hunt for my youngest son, Tyler, who scored a September bull in zone 5. I’ve been lucky enough to score two moose permits of my own, but my hunts were very different.
My first permit in 2011 happened to be in zone 23 that was a November hunt, and was anything but my desired zone. If you have one of these permits, be sure to get out early and scout, and get permission to hunt the land. I found that more land is posted in these zones, and people are far less willing to let a moose hunter onto their deer hunting areas during the deer season. We called the local state biologist and got information from him. We spoke to locals at the store for leads on where to hunt. It was a physically exhausting hunt with many miles on foot. My husband and I would hunt all day Saturday, and I could barely move on Sunday. We never brought enough water, over-dressed for the temps, but luckily never got lost. It would have been easy to give up, but I wasn’t about to do that. In the end, I shot a cow, but we had to pack it out of the woods about a mile. At the end of the season, my moose was one of only two moose shot in a 50 permit zone. Lesson learned: Never ever put down a zone you really don’t want to hunt, and be more prepared.
In 2012, I joined my husband, John, and oldest son, Zack, on their first moose hunts. Zack scored the first September bull in zone 5, while John’s hunt was in our home zone 16 for the November hunt. Again, these were two very different hunts from my first.
For Zack’s hunt, it required a lot more preparation because we were headed into the North Maine Woods. We used our Maine Gazeteer to spot swampy areas, and make a plan. We planned our hunt around camping in the NMW, and driving and scouting early. In order to bring the camper and the trailer for our moose, we needed two vehicles. We arrived two days before Zack could join us. On the first day of the hunt, John tried calling in a moose. It didn’t answer. As we were about to leave, we spotted a bear bait site, and went to check it out. As I came out of the trail, I spotted a pair of antlers above the brush. A moose! I ran back and told the guys. As we stood on the edge of the woods, Zack shot it. It was over that quick. We had scored a rope winch from a friend which worked like a charm to get the moose out to the clearing. Getting it onto the trailer was much harder. We were back home the next day. Lesson learned: be patient. Not all moose will answer early in the season.
John’s hunt was fairly easy for him since as a logger and a deer hunter, he knew right where to find moose in our zone. I was more than bummed that he shot his moose while I was at work since it was the first day I hadn’t gone with him. He even got to use his skidder to haul it out since he was working on an adjoining wood lot.
My 2016 was the hardest hunt I’ve done for the very reason that it was all week and there were no rest days. I scored a September bull permit in zone 5. I was pumped. In my mind I was thinking this would be easy since we hunted Zack’s bull only 4 years earlier. I chose to bring my son’s 270 rifle since I decided my .260 was too small to really do the job. Well, a lot had changed in that time. We went more prepared, this time we brought more water, more snacks, and various types of hunting clothes to adapt to the weather. We really thought we had it covered, but halfway through the week, we had to do a grocery run. I expected to put in the miles, but 12 hours or more of hiking, calling and dealing with everything from other hunter interference to being shot near made the hunt grueling. We could have just drove the roads, but I wanted more than that, and there were enough hunters already driving the roads that I knew I wouldn’t see one by “just driving”.
The moose never started answering until Thursday. After seeing moose every day, usually before and after shooting hours, and losing two good chances to shoot one due to interference and the inability to convince my husband to stop the truck, I was ready to get it done. On day five, having cleared the air and getting refocused, we set out down a new road.
We heard a cow calling and a bull responding. We climbed a tall hill only to find the moose had taken off, but we did hear another bull calling. We got back in the truck and drove down a road parallel to the one we had been on. We parked out at the entrance and snuck in. We stepped off the side of the road and made one cow call. We had instant response. That bull was on a dead run out of the wood and was coming straight down the road grunting the entire way. With John on my left calling, we hid behind alders as the moose made his way towards us. He stopped and turned his head to the right looking for his fair maiden. I made the decision to shoot him in his left shoulder instead of his neck just because I wanted to make sure I hit him. One shot and he dropped there. Relief overcame me as I said, “I got him.” And then in a split second that moose jumped up and ran in the woods. I was sick thinking I might lose him, until we found him only about 50 yards in the woods. Our easy load became a four hour process to get him out of the woods and onto the trailer. Lesson learned: be ready to fire a second shot, and prepare to be there the entire week and bring enough food, water, fuel, etc. with you. It’s a long ways back to town and after a long day of hunting, all I wanted to do was sleep.
No matter which hunt you decide to do, be prepared. Be prepared to work for your moose, and know that when you pull the trigger, you’ve earned it. Be physically and mentally prepared to put in the time. Be smart, follow the laws and most importantly, take it all in and enjoy yourself. Preparation, Patience and perseverance are the key.

- Over 600% of Vitamin B12 ENERGY in EVERY Bar
- 200% of Vitamin C and 100% of Vitamins A, B and E in EVERY Bar
- Organic, Live, Vegan, 100% Herbal NUTRITION
- NO added sugars, NO chemicals and NO crap
I've been suffering obesity for 40 years, but my weight dropped when I started eating 2 SuperFood bars a day, doubling up my SuperFood Powder, and taking Protect and Intestinal Formula #1 every day. It's a miracle!
I always carry one for emergencies. It’s a quality bar like nowhere else and has been a lifesaver more than once. It has totally saved me!
When I eat two of these bars before I work out at the gym, I have a very noticeable amount of more energy. It makes me feel satisfied, such that I can miss a meal and still feel full.
SOME GREAT WAYS TO USE MY SUPERFOOD BARS
MAKES THE PERFECT MEAL REPLACEMENT!
Remember, when your body cries out for food, it’s really just saying: “I need nutrition.” That’s why my NEW SuperFood Bar also makes the perfect meal replacement, so have one with your next SuperSlim Drink.
HAVE IT ON THE GO!
Running late? No problem! Just grab a SuperFood Bar on your way out the door for an awesome “lunch on-the-go” and know you’re getting powerful nutrition to keep you going all day long.
GIVE A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE SNACK TO THE KIDS!
They also make a great alternative for the kids. Instead of those garbage cookies and chocolate-covered, sugar-laden granola bars, just give them a SuperFood Bar, and now they’ve got an amazingly healthy snack with vitamins for the whole day.
GIVE IT TO AN UNHEALTHY LOVED ONE!
For your loved ones who just refuse to do ANYTHING healthy for themselves, well, just give them a SuperFood Bar and watch them eat it up! Now, they’re getting a powerful dose of daily nutrition, and they’re having fun doing it!
WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER NUTRITION BAR?
Because nutrition bars don’t have any NUTRITION! No, this isn’t a riddle, and yes, I was shocked to find that out myself. I went to the health food store and bought every single nutritional health bar and tried them all. Most were just sugar-laden junk food with a natural-looking wrapper, and a few key natural bullshit words like the typical “all natural” Heck, horseshit is “all natural” but I don’t want to eat it! A few were actually pretty clean and pretty good. But to my surprise, when reading the fine print, NONE of these Nutritional bars had any real NUTRITION! Sure, they had a little—10 or 15% of a few vitamins—but they had no substantial amount of vitamins or nutrition. Heck, I would rather eat a banana and a few nuts!
So, that was it. I’d had enough, and I set out to make a real nutritional bar that was Organic, Raw, Vegan, Live, made with 100% Foods and Herbs AND with 100% or more of all your needed vitamins from only the foods and herbs in the bar. So, I added my SuperFood Plus to a bar that I designed with amazing food ingredients, and after over 100 test batches... YES! A FULL DOSE of SuperFood in ONE BAR! “Original” Bar has only 165 CALORIES, and 6 grams of PROTEIN with 12 grams of FIBER! “CRUNCH” Bar has only 133 CALORIES and 7 grams of PROTEIN with 8 grams of FIBER!

Poem for Aliases
I had a kid affinity for dog tags.
GI Joe offered honorary real
American hero status for ten dollars.
Engraved Max Thunder when they came
by mail. I lived childhood embarrassed
of my name and daily wore an alias.
One morning I stood across Allerton
Street from Patrick, my first best friend,
lobbing the tags over telephone wires
to his open hands. The ball chain caught
someone’s conversation, spun tight and stopped,
knotted. What to do but walk home
without the wrong name on my neck?
Poem for Child Soldiers
Winters thaw longing for the limitless
afternoons of August I deployed
to play Army on a front lawn battlefield;
razor wire picket fence, the neighbors
terrorists, shrill rattle of tongue against
teeth: reports from the universal boyhood
uzi echoing tonight in the splutter
of a cocktail lounge men’s bathroom
hand dryer. I remember and point
a loaded mock Mac 10 at the mirror,
cashmere sweater camouflage, but now
my manmade gunshots don’t kid anyone.
Red Sky at Morning
Barges dredge Plymouth harbor.
Gape of my father’s mouth
ICU I lean into his crusted
lips to catch a few knotted
words in the bucket of my ear.
Crane jaws gorge on dripping blobs
of silt and seawater, mud and stone
torn from the bottom they must deepen.
We are swimming over a pit’s edge
empty grave holes underwater
cemetery of the sea, dark
splotches on his brain scan blood
bursts the hulls of its vessels.
floats inside his diving bell
body, depressurized eyes,
distant radar pulses fading down
a sunken canyon.
Loitering on the Point
Waiting on the past
-dark beach. Buoyed light,
channel markers’ glare,
final cries of gulls
drown, dunes sunk
out here to speak of, why
do we insist we stay?
I pocket a hand
full of night-washed sand;
summer’s symbol I declare.
No one wants this season
over. August always
ceases. We go on.
Poem for Fidelities
Asking all the old questions, we stood
an hour under a streetlamp’s bell jar;
every bar too swollen with laughter
to talk. In earnest, as if we could
touch truth, we kicked toes and shook hands
for this is what we do. Stubborn as footstools.
That was a simile. Michael my friend
and I were stoned, discussing the schools
of thought on fidelity, captured
comet of a lit joint slipping like belief
between us. I mumbled how I’d
known one love. Into the darkness scared
I pushed her. Michael said we swim in space.
Float helpless. I described her face.

(By Paul Irikefe)
“Being the biggest importer of Nigeria’s crude oil (a little less than half of our oil export), this is bad news for the country. Already American oil import from us last year slumped from 810,000 barrels to 361,000. Says, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the co-ordinating Minister for the Economy and the Finance Minister, “the discovery of Shale oil and gas in the U.S. are long-term fundamental factors that we must pay attention to. Nigeria cannot afford to bury her head in the sand oblivious to changing energy trends in the world. It is in our best interest to respond proactively to these trends. The consequences of not doing so could be very unpleasant not only for us but future generations too.”
SINCE 1958 when Nigeria began oil production, the story of the country has followed a skewed trajectory dictated by powerful interests. It has spawned a nation with the highest turnover of political leadership in Africa, of coups and counter-coups, with a bloody civil war, a corrupt, inefficient, greedy and ostentatious class of elites, and above all, an economy that is purely rentier and a politics that is overly prebendal. Oil, as one analyst puts it has made Nigeria a parvenu, puffed up by petro dollars.
But this trajectory may be about to change. The world is poised for a new global energy order, one that will send shock waves and confusion to ‘petrolist states.’ Indeed a big powershift is underway, whose ramification and magnitude we are yet to fully comprehend.
The revolution actually began in 1948, but only recently did other technologies emerge to make it a reality. Today with remarkable precision, hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have been combined to unlock the extensive gas and oil trapped in “source rock” – rock from which oil and gas slowly migrated into natural reservoirs over millions of years. These unconventional energy resources have already been found in significant quantity in the U.S., Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Oman, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and the United Kingdom. And according to the International Energy Agency, recoverable reserves of shale gas are present almost in all country.
The global energy glut as well as the economic and geopolitical consequences is already beginning to dawn on the world, beginning in the United States. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has predicted that the United States, thanks to this revolution in shale gas and oil, would surpass Saudi Arabia and Russia to becoming the world’s largest oil producer by 2020. And it is clearly en route to being a net exporter within the decade.
Being the biggest importer of Nigeria’s crude oil (a little less than half of our oil export), this is bad news for the country. Already American oil import from us last year slumped from 810,000 barrels to 361,000. Says, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the co-ordinating Minister for the Economy and the Finance Minister, “the discovery of Shale oil and gas in the U.S. are long-term fundamental factors that we must pay attention to. Nigeria cannot afford to bury her head in the sand oblivious to changing energy trends in the world. It is in our best interest to respond proactively to these trends. The consequences of not doing so could be very unpleasant not only for us but future generations too.”
Nevertheless, some are already arguing that there is no cause for alarm that the left over oil slice will go to Europe and Asia, and there is no reason to our being overly worried. Indeed, that appears comforting and reassuring, except that it is dangerously false and misleading. The truth is that China’s growth will soon taper off with its hunger for energy, and its reserve in shale and tight-oil resources surpasses that of even North America by 50 per cent. China is poised to leverage on this energy advantage as America, relying on its energy boon, grows more competitive and prosperous.
Clearly, a world of increasing energy independence and falling oil prices will be tremendously painful and undermining for a country that operates an exogenous economy that derives about 95 per cent of her foreign exchange earnings and about 65 per cent of her budgetary revenues from oil and gas exports. Indeed, the sharp swing in oil prices do not just affect the international system, it has always led to regime insecurity in this nation.
It did this in the oil embargo of 1973-1974 following the Yom Kippur War. The sudden sharp rise in the price of oil led to so much money and the recalculation of power for Gowon, resulting in a military coup that brought in Murtala Mohammed/Obasanjo-led government. It did this too in the oil price shock of 1985/ 1986 that brought in a counter coup against Buhari, and so on.
But the most troubling implication will be that Nigeria may officially be transitioning out of her golden age –roughly from 1958 to the middle of this decade – with nothing to show for it. Unable to further subsidise corruption and use petrodollars to buy consensus and vote, to settle disgruntled parties and cronies, and to deny us freedom and good governance, dignity and a decent future, it remains unclear whether the system, a system that the elites have always insisted to be priceless and non-negotiable despite all evidence to the contrary, can still hold.
Nigerian government at all levels may have to respond choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. First, they may choose to absorb the financial and social pressure that this brings and so bear the cost by cutting down on frivolous spending, maybe by cutting down on their wages and emoluments, for example, cutting down on what members of National Assembly earn or by making sure that N2.3 million is not spent daily for refreshment in Aso Rock. But that is most unlikely. A culture of sacrifice does not appear to be in abundance in Aso Rock.
Therefore, a more likely scenario would be to push the cost to the Nigerian people by raising taxes and other forms of revenues. In other words, without the incentive to drill into the ground anymore, government may be forced to drill into the minds, creativity and entrepreneurship of the people and that could be the game changer. It will call for a new form of leadership, where contracts will be respected; foreign direct investment will be sought and government will be for the people and by the people.
Hopefully, we may also be able to demand a better deal by trading taxation and political order with voice and political freedom. It will be an era that may demand a new-breed politics and politicians with vision, clarity and character to lead this nation to its long denied destiny. The prospect of a Nigerian spring has never been more real, alive and terrifying.

The idea that women should work and have abortions are not considered Conservative Values... On the contrary, Free the Economic System from Left Wing control and see the trend reverse.
Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family
One of the most ominous events of modern history is quietly unfolding. Social scientists and economists agree - we are headed toward a demographic winter which threatens to have catastrophic social and economic consequences. The effects will be severe and long lasting and are already becoming manifest in much of Europe.
A groundbreaking film, Demographic Winter: Decline of the Human Family, reveals in chilling soberness how societies with diminished family influence are now grimly seen as being in social and economic jeopardy.
Demographic Winter draws upon experts from all around the world - demographers, economists, sociologists, psychologists, civic and religious leaders, parliamentarians and diplomats. Together, they reveal the dangers facing society and the worlds economies, dangers far more imminent than global warming and at least as severe. These experts will discuss how:
The population bomb not only did not have the predicted consequences, but almost all of the developed countries of the world are now experiencing fertility rates far below replacement levels. Birthrates have fallen so low that even immigration cannot replace declining populations, and this migration is sapping strength from developing countries, the fertility rates for many of which are now falling at a faster pace than did those of the developed countries.
The economies of the world will continue to contract as the human capital spoken of by Nobel Prize winning economist Gary Becker, diminishes. The engines of commerce will be strained as the workers of today fail to replace themselves and are burdened by the responsibility to support an aging population.

Melissa Brigitte Brown has begun serving the last three months days of her 180-day sentence for killing Newhall mother Matilda Garnica with her car on July 4, 2010.
A San Fernando Superior Court judge ordered the 23-year-old Canyon Country woman remanded into custody Wednesday to begin serving a jail term for driving into a crowd – killing Garnica and injuring several others – during the City of Santa Clarita’s annual Fourth of July fireworks show last year.
Deputy District Attorney Richard Quinones said Brown was sentenced to 180 days in county jail and was placed on three years of formal probation. Brown was given credit for time served both in custody and under house arrest.
San Fernando Superior Court Judge Beverly Reid O’Connell additionally ordered the defendant to complete 80 hours of community service at local high schools where she will share the circumstances surrounding her conviction.
Brown, who in October pleaded no contest to one count of vehicular manslaughter, must also complete a two-day hospital and morgue program.
On July 4, 2010, Brown collided with another vehicle after she ran a red light on Valencia Boulevard at Mall Entrance Drive. She lost control of her vehicle and careened into a crowd of spectators gathered to watch a fireworks display in front of Islands restaurant.
Garnica, 43, was standing on the sidewalk with her family and several neighborhood children, and was killed instantly in the crash. Several others sustained minor injuries.
Court records show Brown had a prior record of driving offenses. She was ticketed for speeding once in 2007 and twice in 2009. On Dec. 12, 2009, she also received a citation for running a red light. The DMV had sent her warning letters “indicating she needed to slow down,” SCV Traffic Sgt. Richard Cohen has said.
Due to jail overcrowding, non-violent offenders in Los Angeles County currently serve 20 percent of their sentence.

New York: Two firefighters were shot dead and two others were wounded in New York state on Monday when at least one gunman opened fire as the emergency personnel responded to a blaze, local media reported.
The incident - which comes as debate rages in the United States about gun control following the Newtown school massacre - happened in Webster, a suburb of Rochester, the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper reported, citing officials.
Webster police chief Gerald Pickering said shots were fired at the firefighters after they arrived at the scene of the early morning blaze. The two wounded firefighters were listed in guarded condition at a local hospital.
Police said there were no "active shooters" at the scene, but a security cordon was put up and residents were being evacuated, the paper reported.
Police and fire officials refused to comment about the incident when contacted by AFP.

I may be alone in this, but I thought William Malone’s House on Haunted Hill remake was actually good. I may be a huge Vincent Price fan, but Geoffrey Rush made the whole thing work out really well. The film delivered the creepy goods and some awesome visuals. Sure, the ending sucked something rotten, but the other 99% was fun.
Eight long years have passed since that time, and it looks as though someone is willing to try revitalizing the franchise with a direct-to-video sequel (Clips on Haunted Hill – August 02, 2007). Director Víctor García is relatively new to the chair, but his short film El Ciclo is a good indication that he’s the right man for the job. We are going to be able to put that theory to the test even further today as Return to House on Haunted Hill‘s official site has just gone live!
In this new site you’ll be able to find a trailer, newsletter, pre-order links, and the synopsis. There’s not a whole lot to do on the site, sadly, but it does let us know there will be a multi-format release on October 14th. That’s good news for us Blu-ray and HD-DVD supporters.
Once you’re done checking out all the features the new site has to offer, head on over to MySpace and make some new ghostly friends.
The doctor is in our forums!

COSBY UNITED 1-7 KINGSWAY RANGERS
Saturday 28th November 2009
Leicester & District League Premier Division
Cosby is a village in the south of Leicestershire in the Blaby district with a population in 2001 of 3,489. Academic wise the village is home to a nursery and primary school while the parish church goes by the name of Saint Michael and All Angels. Sporting wise Cosby has a rugby, cricket and three football teams; Cosby United, Cosby United reserves and Cosby Victory, the latter being United's third team and play in the Leicester City League with the reserves like the 1st team play in the Leicester & District League. All the sports clubs play their home games on Victory Park which unsurprisingly is on Park Road.
I don't have a lot of information regarding the history of United but they joined the second division of the Leicestershire Senior League in 1951 finishing in 5th place in the 15 team division. Eleven seasons were spent in the division before a runners-up spot in 1962 secured promotion to division 1. A highest finish of 11th was achieved before relegation back to division 2 just four years later, though another runners-up spot in 1971 secured promotion again to division 1. Their stay in the top division lasted just two seasons before relegation back to division 2. United spent just five more years in the Senior League before they resigned in 1978. I don't have any further records for the club between then and 1996. From which they have been ever present in the Premier Division of the Leicester & District League finishing runners-up in 1997 and being crowned champions in 2006. This season they currently sit in 8th place in the 13 team division securing ten points from their opening nine games. Kingsway who were promoted in the summer as champions of division 1 have made an impressive (though expected) start to the season losing only once in the opening seven games, currently in 2nd place three points behind leaders Magna '73 having played two games less.
This is to be my second viewing of Kingsway this season having previously seen them @ Mountsorrel where they recorded a 5-1 victory. It also turns out that a new colleague from work plays for Cosby at centre half and goes by the name of Glenn Walker.
Victory Park was easy enough to find. If heading from Leicester take the B4114 towards Narborough, cross the railway line and then take the first right into Littlethorpe. Stay on the road until you reach a mini-island in Cosby itself. The park is on your right but the car park is round the corner next to the village library. The park contains two football, one rugby and a cricket pitch. The cricket one though overlaps the nearest football pitch which is the one used by United today. For the first time in a District League game I've seen the pitch was not fully or partally roped off. Also at home on the 2nd pitch was Cosby Victory's game in the Leicester City League against Aylestone United 2009.
This turned out to be a comfortable victory for the visitors from Braunstone Town with a first half hat-trick from striker Robbie Ryan giving them an advantage they never relinquished. Prior to the first goal on 14 minutes it was an even affair with both sides having an even amount of possession, but a long ball was knocked down into the path of Ryan who side footed home from six yards. Two minutes later and the previously mentioned Glenn Walker was done for pace on the right hand side, the ball finding Ryan who side footed home again from eight yards out. His and Kingsway's third came on 25 minutes when he rounded the home keeper to put the ball into an empty net. Despite going three down Cosby never let their heads drop and played some football of their own to try and get a way back into the game but thus failed to do so. It did feel though that the visitors took the foot off the gas for the latter period of the half. The second half was barely a minute gone when Robbie Ryan got his fourth when he hit a shot from just inside the penalty area across the keeper into the far corner. Further goals came on 55, 62 and 75 minutes for the visitors before the home side got a deserved consolation with five minutes left when their number ten hit a shot across the keeper into the top corner.

Raw materials The factory needs to be close
to these if they are heavy and bulky to transport.
Labour A large cheap labour force is
required for labour-intensive manufacturing industries. High-tech industries
have to locate where suitable skilled workers are available.
Energy supply This is needed to work the
machines in a factory. Early industries were near to coalfields. Today,
electricity allows more freedom.
Market An accessible place to sell the
products is essential for many industries:
those that produce bulky, heavy goods that are expensive to transport
those that produce perishable or fragile goods
those that provide services to people
The market is not so important for other industries such as high-tech whose
products are light in weight and cheap to transport. Such industries are said to
Natural routes River valleys and flat areas

Transport A good transport network helps
reduce costs and make the movement of materials easier.
Site and land Most industries require large
accessible areas of cheap, flat land on which to build their factories.
Cost of land Greenfield sites in rural areas
are usually cheaper than brownfield sites in the city.
Capital This is the money that is invested
to start the business. The amount of capital will determine the size and
location of the factory.
Government policies Industrial development

Former Sheriff Jim Manfre’s candidacy for county judge was dead on arrival at interviews for the job Wednesday, but he still managed to influence the process by advocating for a Flagler choice.
seventh judicial circuit
After 24 interviews by a nominating commission, several Flagler County based candidates for Flagler County judge stood out for the short-list that will go to Gov. Ron DeSantis, who’ll make the appointment later this year.
With two days to go before the application window closes, eight candidates have applied to be appointed Flagler County judge, the second county judge seat the Legislature approved in its last session to share the docket of County Judge Melissa Distler.
The Judicial Nominating Commission for the Seventh Judicial Circuit is taking applications for the newly created Flagler County Judge seat, leaving Gov. Ron DeSantis to make the appointment likely this fall.
The decision amounts to a brutal condemnation of Scott DuPont’s behavior by the state’s highest court and a signal to other prospective judges that zero tolerance applies with regards to violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct.
Flagler and Putnam Circuit Judge Scott DuPont, facing removal, filed his last pleading before the Florida Supreme Court decides his fate in the next few weeks.
A devastating 21-page opinion by a disciplinary judicial commission repeats in harsher language a call for Judge Scott DuPont’s removal, a recommendation going before the Supreme Court.
Circuit Judge Terence Perkins will replace Dennis Craig, who’s headed back to Volusia, becoming the sixth judge in eight years to preside over Flagler County’s felony court.
Flagler County will lose Family Judge R. Lee Smith to Putnam after less than two years and gain newly-minted Judge Chris France, among other changes caused by the DuPont affair.
Chief Judge Raul Zambrano’s order, delivered to DuPont by letter today, is as close to the firing of a judge short of a Supreme Court impeachment, and follows an investigation’s withering recommendation for removal.

Tuning Glass Transition in Polymer Nanocomposites with Functionalized Cellulose Nanocrystals through Nanoconfinement
X Qin and WJ Xia and R Sinko and S Keten, NANO LETTERS, 15, 6738-6744 (2015).
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) exhibit impressive interfacial and mechanical properties that make them promising candidates to be used as fillers within nanocomposites. While glass-transition temperature (T-g) is a common metric for describing thermomechanical properties, its prediction is extremely difficult as it depends on filler surface chemistry, volume fraction, and size. Here, taking CNC-reinforced poly (methyl-methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites as a relevant model system, we present a multiscale analysis that combines atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) surface energy calculations with coarse-grained (CG) simulations of relaxation dynamics near filler polymer interfaces to predict composite properties. We discover that increasing the volume fraction of CNCs results in nanoconfinement effects that lead to an appreciation of the composite T-g provided that strong interfacial interactions are achieved, as in the case of TEMPO-mediated surface modifications that promote hydrogen bonding. The upper and lower bounds of shifts in T-g are predicted by fully accounting for nanoconfinement and interfacial properties, providing new insight into tuning these aspects in nanocomposite design. Our multiscale, materials-by-design framework is validated by recent experiments and breaks new ground in predicting, without any empirical parameters, key structure property relationships for nanocomposites.

This morning, during a meeting with journalists he explained his three commitments. He recommended that education should emphasize the inner values of warm heartedness, tolerance and forgiveness. He observed that although religion has been a source of happiness for thousands of years, sadly, today, it is becoming a source of hatred.
He made clear that when he retired from his political responsibilities in 2011, he did so completely, voluntarily and proudly, but conceded that 99 percent of the Tibetan people continued to place their hope and trust in him. Therefore, in addition to being concerned for them, he continues to work for the protection of Tibetan culture and Tibet’s natural environment. He explained that since Tibetan culture is a culture of peace, non-violence and compassion, it is in everyone's interest that it be preserved.
In the afternoon, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, fellow Nobel Laureate Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman and Leila Alikarami, an Iranian lawyer and human rights activist representing Nobel Laureate Shirin Ebadi, engaged in discussions on the theme ‘Nobel Laureates on Human Rights - A view from civil society’ at the Graduate Institute of Geneva. This event, hosted by the Permanent Missions of the United States and Canada to the United Nations, took place on the periphery of the UN Human Rights Council's 31st session. Mrs. Kate Gilmore, UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights moderated the event.
His Holiness expressed his gratitude to the US and Canadian Permanent Missions to the UN for hosting the event. He also acknowledged the moving addresses of the two speakers who preceded him.
“We are talking about the future of humanity,” he said. “No matter how small our voice here may be, it is essential we speak up. Sometimes people say all is well with the world, but they are mistaken. We are facing many problems. During my lifetime I have witnessed continual conflict and bloodshed in the course of which millions of people have been killed. We need to ask where we went wrong, what qualities we lack and why violations of human rights take place. Answering these questions and creating peace will require wisdom and compassion.
“Although I am a Buddhist monk, I am sceptical that prayers alone will achieve world peace. We need instead to be enthusiastic and self-confident in taking action.”
He said those now causing trouble and disturbing peace in the world are also confident, but are insufficiently moved by basic human values. Therefore, if we are to create a more peaceful world in the future, we need to introduce warm-heartedness and secular ethics into our general education system.
He observed that climate change and the ups and downs of the global economy are problems that affect us all. They are not confined to national boundaries. Focussing on secondary differences between us like race, religion, nationality and gender, stokes our inclination to divide people into ‘us’ and ‘them’, which easily becomes a basis for conflict. He stressed that if we remember the oneness of humanity and think of each other as brothers and sisters we can overcome that potential for violence.
Following the panel discussion, His Holiness drove to the Palais des Nations where he addressed about 3000 Tibetans. He assured them that he was in good health and thanked them for their prayers for his well-being.

The situation regarding Coronavirus (COVID-19) is changing rapidly. Learn how COVID-19 is affecting legal and government organizations and the benefits available.
This page was last updated at 9:18 p.m. on 4.1.20.
On March 9, 2020, Governor DeWine declared a state of emergency in Ohio. The state of emergency allows state agencies and departments to coordinate a response to protect Ohioans. This has led to some service changes and opportunities for relief that you should be aware of. As the situation is changing rapidly, it is generally good to call ahead before arriving to any in-person appointments, hearings or services.
Rely on official information
The COVID-19 situation and response is changing every day. To be sure that you're getting the most accurate and up-to-date information on safety measures in Ohio, visit coronavirus.ohio.gov. For up-to-date medical information, visit the CDC's website.
Ohio's legal system
Ohio's legal aids are still providing services to help low-income individuals with their legal needs. However, to reduce spread of COVID-19, all of Ohio's legal aids are suspending or discouraging in-person intake at this time. If you need legal aid services, please apply online or over the phone. If you have a pre-existing appointment with a legal aid office, call that office to find out next steps.
On March 27, 2020, the Supreme Court of Ohio issued an order that "tolls" the time requirements for filings and other court deadlines. As the Court explains in its FAQ, "tolling serves to effectively freeze time from...March 9, 2020 until the expiration of the order. " For example, if you had a filing deadline on March 19th (10 days after March 9th), your new deadline is now 10 days after the Court's order expires. The order will expire either on 1) the date the Governor lifts the state of emergency; or 2) July 30, 2020, whichever comes first.
However, a local court can still require you to file within the original deadlines. That means that you need to check the court docket for your case to see if the court has placed an order on your case requiring filing within the initial deadline. To find the online docket for your case go to the court or clerk's website.
Currently, there is not a single policy for court operations in Ohio. A number of courts are delaying hearings, except for certain matters, like protection orders. If you have a hearing scheduled or have other business with a court, check their website or call to see if their hours or schedules have changed. You can find contact and website information for your local courts on this page, under "Local Government and Community Resources."
Your job and money
To help families impacted by COVID-19, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) provides direct cash payments to Ohioans. The amount of the payment depends on your income. Most individuals earning $75,000 or less will receive a payment of $1,200. Married couples who file taxes jointly and earn $150,000 or less will receive a payment of $2,400. Families are eligible to receive an additional $500 per child. For example a family of four could receive $3,400.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will be issuing the stimulus payments (via direct deposit or check) based upon either your 2019 or 2018 tax return. Social security recipients who do not typically file a tax return will not need to file a tax return to receive their payment. The IRS will use the information from your SSA-1099 or RRB-1099 to determine your payment amount and your stimulus payment will be automatically deposited into your bank account. However, some individuals who do not typically file a tax return will need to file a tax return to receive the stimulus payment. The IRS will soon make available on its website a simple tax return, so that you can receive a stimulus payment.
Individuals and married couples that make more than the amounts above may still be eligible for a payment. Use our Stimulus Calculator to see how much you might receive.
The CARES Act also expanded unemployment benefits for workers impacted by COVID-19.
Major changes include:
- Through July 31, 2020, everyone who receives unemployment benefits will receive an additional $600 per week on top of the amount they'd normally receive through unemployment.
- Expanded eligibility for self-employed workers, freelancers, and workers without enough work history to qualify for normal state unemployment benefits. This emergency expansion does not apply to workers that can work from home with pay or are receiving paid sick leave.
- 13 weeks of additional benefits for people who qualify for the state's regular, non-emergency unemployment program.
Federal and State Income Tax
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the State of Ohio have extended the tax filing and payment deadlines from April 15, 2020 to July 15, 2020. The extension is available and automatic to all tax filers. However, if you are due a refund, for instance if you qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit, you are encouraged to file as soon as you can. The IRS is still issuing refunds within about 21 days.
The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) requires most employers with fewer than 500 employees to give paid sick leave and expanded family and medical leave to employees impacted by COVID-19. The paid leave under the FFCRA will become available on April 1, 2020. Read more to understand if paid sick leave might be available in your situation.
The CARES Act provides the following automatic relief for student loan borrowers with certain Federal Direct Loans and Federal Family Education Loans (FFEL):
- Suspends loan payments through September 30, 2020;
- Stops interest from accruing through September 30, 2020;
- Counts the months in suspension toward loan forgiveness. For example, for borrowers in the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) will treat each month as if you had made the payment;
- Stops all involuntary collection of defaulted loans, including wage garnishment; and,
- Counts the months in suspension as on-time payments for credit reporting.
This relief only applies to Direct Loans and FFEL loans currently held by the Department of Education. The relief is automatic so you do not need to apply for the relief. The relief does not apply to commercially-held FFEL loans, Perkins loans, and private student loans. To learn more about COVID-19 relief, see the National Consumer Law Center's Student Loan Project and StudentAid.gov.
If you have a loan that is not covered by the CARES Act, like a private student loan and can't make your payment, you should contact your student loan servicer to see what options may be available to you. Many servicers are working with borrowers during the COVID-19 emergency.
Other public benefits
Find information here on additional food and cash benefits that are available in Ohio. Resources include SNAP, food banks and other food programs, Ohio Works First and WIC.
The CARES Act provides for a 120-day eviction moratorium for tenants living in some types of federally assisted rental housing. The moratorium applies to tenants living in housing that: 1) participates in a housing program under the Violence Against Women Act; 2) participates in the rural housing voucher program; 3) has a federally backed mortgage loan; or 4) has a federally backed multifamily mortgage loan. The moratorium applies to new eviction actions after March 27, 2020 for non-payment of rent.
Currently, Ohio does not have a statewide moratorium for evictions. If you are facing eviction, legal aid may be able to help you. To apply for legal aid, please apply online or over the phone.
A landlord is not allowed to change your locks or shut off your utilities to force you out. It doesn’t matter how far behind you are in your rent. It doesn't matter what kind of fight you’re having with your landlord. In Ohio, it is illegal for a landlord to change your locks or shut off your utilities as a way of forcing you to leave. It’s against the law for them to even threaten to do these things. Instead, if your landlord wants you out, they must follow the eviction timeline and process of the court.
To help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes, the CARES Act provides for two helpful protections:
- A foreclosure moratorium through at least May 17, 2020. A moratorium stops or suspends the foreclosure; and,
- A right to up to a 12-month forbearance for homeowners impacted by COVID-19.
The foreclosure moratorium and right to forbearance applies to homeowners with a mortgage backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Almost half of the mortgages in the U.S. are backed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, so many homeowners will qualify for the additional protections. You can see if your mortgage is backed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae by going to their websites.
If you can't pay your mortgage, you should contact your loan servicer immediately to request help. Be prepared to potentially wait on the line for assistance as a lot of homeowners are seeking help right now.
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) has requested that all utility companies in Ohio suspend disconnections during the state of emergency. In response, Ohio utilities have agreed to temporarily suspend disconnections. However, you may still get a disconnect notice during the suspension. If you have questions, you should contact your utility company. You can also contact the PUCO Consumer Call Center.
In addition, the State of Ohio has prohibited public water disconnections during the state of emergency.

Scammers take advantage of emergencies to prey on people's fears. With COVID-19, scammers will try to take advantage of people to trick them out of money and personal information. Stay vigilant and report any suspected scams to the Ohio Attorney General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission. COVID-19 scams include:
- "Miracle cures." There are no vaccines, cures or treatments for COVID-19 at this time. If you see an advertisement or offer for products claiming to cure COVID-19 it is a scam.
- Links from sources you don't know. Scammers will use links in emails about COVID-19 to "phish" for information or download viruses onto your computer.
- Fake charities. If you receive donation or crowdfunding requests, do your research. Check with the Attorney General's Office to see if organizations are real charities. If someone wants donations in cash, gift cards or by wiring money, don't do it.
- Check with the FTC for updates on scams related to COVID-19.

WTF. I am glad they had a director of photography, without that the visuals would have been meaningless.
This is what is now called a history lesson. Well what else from PBS?
That was incredible. It's a shame old Frankie Roosevelt sucked up a couple of microbes of polio in the lab.
PBS drivel. Thanks to such media bs hobos began calling themselves "tramps." The same way hippies became freaks. The media never comprehend anything out of their narrow experience.
You get that this is a parody, Gary. A parody of Ken Burns. Right?
We wore an onion in our belt, as was the fashion of the day....
Are you sure this is a parody? 'Cause I think Roosevelt was a real guy and we talked about Pearl Harbor in school.

However, if you’re not careful about when and how you use this product, the risks of coconut oil can become apparent. Virgin coconut oi, which is the purest form of the oil doesn’t have side effects, but when it’s processed into the commercial oil we use, it develops side effects.
Although coconut oil is a natural source of vitamins and fats which have numerous health benefits, too much of anything can be dangerous. The best way to use coconut oil is by using the right quantity.
Today’s post will show you the side effects of coconut oil you probably didn’t know about.
NOTE: All these side effects occur when the coconut oil extracted has been adulterated for commercial use.
This is the most common side effects of coconut oil. When coconut oil is taken orally to fight the internal bacterial infection, the process of destroying the bacteria can lead to certain short-term side effects like diarrhea.
2. Increase cholesterol levels
Coconut has high levels of LDL (the bad cholesterol) and good HDL cholesterol, this can still be troubling to people who already have a high amount of cholesterol in their bloodstream. The saturated fat content in coconut oil is higher than other fats or oils (butter or olive oil).
It has been found that high levels of saturated fat lead to an increase in bad cholesterol, which can eventually result in health complications.
3. May cause allergies
Ensure you find out what you’re allergic to before consuming coconut oil. You can check by applying a little amount to your skin, to see changes. Coconut oil does cause allergies if one is sensitive to it. Some of the allergic reactions include nausea, rashes, eczema, hives, vomiting, and anaphylaxis (a lethal emergency that involves troubled breathing).
Individuals undertaking detoxification using coconut oil (for yeast infections) often experience headaches. This happens when the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil break down the yeast cells (that causes the infection), thereby releasing a wave of fungal toxins into the bloodstream. This, therefore, causes a headache.
5. Acne breakout
This is more likely to happen to individuals with excessively oily skin. The lauric acid in coconut usually helps in killing the acne-causing bacteria for a skin that’s not oily. Otherwise, there could be a problem.
The only way an oily skin can use coconut oil is by mixing with a friendly essential oil to get rid of that acne.

Teacher of the Year
The Pamplin Society of Fellows created the teacher of the year award in the same year that it was founded in 1994. The original members of the society used this award as a way to honor one faculty member of the College of Arts and Sciences that goes particularly above and beyond the requirements of their position to enrich student learning both inside and outside of the classroom. All members of the faculty are considered eligible for the award, regardless of rank, tenure, title, department, or years of service to the college.
This award is entirely driven in all aspects by undergraduate students. A call is issued in early March for students at the college to write nomination letters for faculty members that have played a dynamic role in students’ academic lives on Palatine Hill. These letters are then reviewed by a selection committee comprised entirely of students. Nominations are often received for over fifty faculty members at the college representing every department on campus.
Out of all of the nomination letters the selection committee chooses five to seven finalists for the Teacher of the Year Award. After a second call for letters of support and additional committee deliberation, a finalist is chosen and announced at an awards reception in April.
When the award committee asks for nominations, they state that the ideal teacher of the year demonstrates passion for his or her field of study, preparedness and grace in the classroom, adaptability to new ideas and learning styles, and wisdom and compassion as a mentor. In addition to these qualities the selection committee takes not of the immense care and understanding that professors take in interacting with their students.

Rubio Monocoat Reviews
Its been 8 years since we originally wrote this Rubio Monocoat review blog post. Quite a few things have changed with Rubio Monocoat in that time.
Reviews Rubio Monocoat isFollowing.
Rubio monocoat reviews. Is this your company. Want to share your experience. The result is reminiscent of beeswax but much less trouble to apply and maintain.
Real Rubio Monocoat reviews from prior users who have used Rubio Monocoat on flooring furniture cabinetry and many different wood projects. Nic Varthalis – Enth Degree. Weve been specifying Rubio on our projects for over 6 years and when it comes to finishing timber Rubio is our first port of call.
It is made of all natural ingredients. I did a lot of research before choosing this product. Bottom line is do your research please folks.
Carnauba wax for example is also a zero-VOC finish but it is next to worthless as a floor protectant and so we wont sell or recommend it. I purchased a liter and a half of Rubio Monocoat from you this spring to finish our new oak dance room floor. Rubio Monocoat Review 8 Years On Wow.
Free Standard Shipping to the Contiguous US. Rubio Monocoat Izegem Belgium. Rubio Monocoat is a viable alternative to polyurethane only if it actually protects the floor.
The results are simply outstanding. So the rubio do you like itor shall i say will you use it againbeen thinking of trying itor some of. Purchase Rubio monocoat for our new hickory countertop.
Rubio Monocoat has had Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector in its assortment with great success for years. I went back and updated the post above to reflect these. Prior to choosing Rubio I read their product specifications and called their office in Texas.
View Jobs at Rubio Monocoat. Rubio Monocoat even with two coats still wont perform much better. Within 1 week my kitchen floors were spotting near the sinks.
Rubio Monocoat makes a plant-based hardwax oil wood finish that is 0 VOC durable matte and keeps the natural look and feel of the wood. Rubio Monocoat Review And then I found Rubio Monocoat. We found a local pro who had great reviews and good history in business.
Apart from the great range of colours and the ability to formulate your own the matte finish coupled with excellent durability is hard surpass. It is a zero VOC oil that chemically bonds to the surface layer of raw wood making it water and stain repellent. The coverage was better than expected for softwood partly because of thorough dust removal with tack cloths and proper mixing with the activator following guidelines provided over the phone by a Rubio rep.
We used Rubio Monocoat Plus 2C Pure ie not colored on TG pine just installed in three rooms. He seemed a bit more experienced using another finish type but confident to apply Rubio as well. Rubio Monocoat Hybrid Wood Protector is available in 20 colours.
I used Pure clear. 3208 likes 91 talking about this. View All num of num Close Esc Logo.
Water spots left on the floor discolored it. We did not want a poly based protectant due to the hassle of re-sanding the entire countertop for minor touch ups. We did the 1200 square foot project with only 3 ½ pints cost of around 12500 a pint.
I posted a project that turned into a kind of a review about Rubio Monocoat so I am just going to post that part of it here as a review. I read and was told that product can be used in kitchen. They really need to pull off the market until they come out with a viable finish.
In the tests weve done in the store the Monocoat had no problem resisting the most common household spills. I was skeptical that I would have enough product. Rubio Monocoat is probably the most all-natural environmentally friendly finish around these days and is very popular in Europe.
Its advertised features include the following. The wood can be protected in various ways depending on the desired result. FAQ Reviews How To.
Much like the old wax finishes and the coverage is huge. Its linseed oil-based contains no VOCs cures in a single week with the optional accelerator it can be spot repaired very easily and it goes on in a single coat. Spent 33000 refinishing my entire house with Rubio Monocoat Fume.
He did mention that he gets complaints about Rubio but since we had a great prior experience w Rubio we werent dissuaded we never actually asked what the complaints were although he didnt specify either. Its value lies in the ease of a one coat finish – especially on large areas requiring a stain finish. So far so good.
However the product is terrible and does not work. Now thats quite an appealing list of features eh. Wood protection unique 1 single layer application consists of plant-based 100 VOC-free oil finishes of exceptional style and.
I have to. On orders over 69. 250-275 a litre that covers 300-500 sq ft is quite rediculous.
We followed instructions exactly and to my amazement it took a friend and I only about 7 hours to completely finish 800 square feet of floor. Some product names have been changed other products like Precolor Easy and Universal Maintenance Oil have been added. It is a high-quality oil that protects and colours the exterior wood in one coat.
Reviews 0 RUBIO MONOCOAT Oil Plus 2C is a unique timber finish unlike any other. Friendly support 8-4 CT Fast shipping. Easy to specify easy to apply and easy to refinish – Rubio ticks all the boxes.
It comes in colors. Spot repairs as they claim arent that easy at all.

The story's about a man who must choose between the love of a woman and the hedonism of his friends, between love and nothing, between faith and its opposite.
The Last Good Woman
The Last Good Woman
I drove home alone in the hours after midnight along nearly deserted streets a number of times that summer, fulfilled in the long run but in the short run feeling somewhat deprived. And each time I’d come through the door of the apartment half expecting to see Liz sitting on the sofa wrapped in her white cotton bathrobe, grading a batch of papers from which she’d suddenly look up, reading glasses perched on the end of her nose, and smile in sublime gladness as the answer to her own deprivation walked through the door. There was no reason why I should expect to see this. I knew perfectly well she would be asleep and that I’d end up in a chair in the front room, beer in hand, browsing through a Playboy or staring at the wall and pondering the story Murch thought I’d been working on for the past three months but which I had not even started. I had not started it because it did not exist. It did not exist because I pondered not a story but the idea of one, and less the idea of one than of writing it. Like all stories I saw myself writing it was undoubtedly a great story, and doomed to remain so.
But I did not spend much time that summer browsing through magazines or pondering stories not merely unborn but unconceived. I acquired instead a new habit which on the surface seemed just slightly less compelling than pictures of naked women passing beneath my eyes like various succulent dishes laid out buffet-style and more or less suited to taste, but which was in the beginning aimed at the same end and was therefore itself a compulsion: I fell into the habit of watching Liz sleep.
On the very night the cheerleader stuck to her scruples and my vision of the road was obscured by healthy curiosity, I came through the front door to be greeted by the pale glow of the desk lamp Liz had left burning. I passed into the darkened back room and knelt down to give the good-night kiss she expected even in sleep. As I did so, she trapped my face between her cheek and shoulder with a brief shrug, her breathing undisturbed. Then I got a beer from the refrigerator, pulled a magazine off the stack, and by the light of the desk lamp sat down to see what the day’s selection was like. After a few minutes it occurred to me that the pictures seemed to complete what my imagination, in the matter of Linda’s legs, only guessed at, but that the pictures made me guess at what could be completed by neither. The more I thought about it the more imaginary the pictures became. The became more imaginary than the imagination, which may not have been able to get Linda’s legs right but at least could finish what it started, even if it finished falsely.
There is nothing in the real world like the real thing. The picture must be finished truly, and if it was true in the long run then it was true in the short – rising from the chair as I thought this, flinging the magazine back on the stack with one hand, clenching the beer in the other – and if that day on which Gerald shrugged and the priest pronounced had finished something, had heralded the beginning of a true end, then the real thing was at that moment asleep in the room behind me.
It was a typically humid summer night and she slept with the sheet thrown back. I sat down to observe her from the dressing table chair, the only light coming from the doorway behind me and the window over the bed through which streetlight cast the same soft white glow as the desk lamp. She lay on her stomach with one leg drawn up and wearing a brief green and white-striped nightshift that had ridden above her hips. Staring now at the rims of her bottom peeking from beneath the panties, I attempted to invest my gaze with an excess of healthy curios-
ity, to inspire a little glandular flow. I leaned forward, as though trying to cross some kind of barrier, and there suddenly swam into view Stacy’s blond form shimmering in the moonlight. I could feel her hand on my chest, her breast against my shoulder; all I had to do was roll over and take hold of the real thing. Liz gave a deep sigh and wiped it away. She raised up on her hands slightly and turned toward the wall, now with the other leg drawn up. I continued staring, thinking something might happen now that I couldn’t see her face so well, but this trick of trying to see her anew by not seeing her at all didn’t work anymore and Stacy returned, standing there before me and billowing forth an invisible womb of warmth mere clothing, had she worn any, could not possibly contain, or so it seemed in memory. I reached for the warmth but did not touch. And there she was, asleep in my bed the next morning with one breast exposed and looking like an angel. If things had worked out differently, I might have been asleep beside her. If things had worked out differently, I might never have seen her as she really wasn’t.
I sat back in the chair, still gazing at that spot where thighs and rump join forces, but no longer with such ferocity of purpose, for all attempts to invoke lust invoked anything but Liz. That spot, or any other, had become too much a part of her to be also a part of my imagination. And if I had been close enough to touch I would have discovered only what I already knew – that she was soft there, so soft you indeed had to touch, or even kiss, to know it, and more often of late found myself doing just that, though not in a riot of passion but peace. One recent evening while waiting my turn at the shower, she had emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel. She stood before the mirror unpinning her hair, drops of water still sparkling on her shoulders. I sat on the bed behind her, watching. After a moment, the action far ahead of any conscious impulse, I reached out to grab her hips. I turned her around and pulled the towel away. There was no rush to modesty. She just gave me a vaguely puzzled smile as I gradually buried my face in her stomach. She placed her hands on my head and rested them there until the compulsion released its hold, then turned around and continued undoing her hair, as though my need to fix upon her as an object of reverence were perfectly natural and even anticipated.
Thinking back on it later I’d wonder at a thing so capable of possessing and nearly rending the heart that it seemed anything so exquisitely painful must also be unnatural, that if given half a chance love would overwhelm and devour everything in its path, and that anything so voracious must also be guarded against. But reason could not tame its rising within like some hidden second creature with a will and ambition of its own because, for the moment at least, its will was my will; because, with my face nestled in her belly in defiance of all reason, I knew that I had never done anything so reasonable, to the point that even in moments of idle fantasy attempts to use Liz in the same way I’d use pictures in a magazine or the memory of Stacy left me with the ugly sensation that something was being profaned, and hence with the paradox that what was good enough for most other women was not good enough for this certain one.

NO MORE SKUNKY SHEETS! Oily build up is a big problem. Over time even lotions and creams can end up stuck in your linens and smelling rancid. My Pure Pro Orange uses concentrated orange peel extracts to scour out that oil and give you back clean, fresh linens with no lingering perfumey odor. No need to add laundry soap- my Orange is a complete detergent. Just 2 to 4 ounces per load will degrease and deodorize every time. Also available in a 1 Quart (32 oz), Bottle.
"Love massage? Hate oily sheets? Finally, an oil remover just for Massage Therapists!"
Dianna Dapkins, Creator of Pure Pro
No one wants to have a dryer fire. But inadequately washed, oily linens put you at risk. And who likes the smell of rancid sheets, yuck! Specifically formulated to remove vegetable based oils, Pure Pro Orange Degreaser is the ultimate way to get rid of and prevent oil build-up.
This citrus-based detergent is economical, requiring only 4 ounces in a regular top loading washer and only 2 ounces or less in a front loading or commercial washer. And you add nothing else - it's a complete detergent with serious degreasing muscle! However, it is compatible with bleach and fabric softener. You'll get at least 32 washes from one gallon of Pure Pro Orange Degreaser, costing you less than $1 per load of laundry.
Cost per wash = 90 cents (in gallon size when using a top load washer).
Biodegradable and Septic Safe. Made in the USA.
"I have used your Orange Degreaser for a couple of years for my massage linens with great success. Today I had an unusual situation with my car overheating in extremely hot weather. I needed a rag or something to cover the radiator cap to take it off as it was hot. The only thing I had in the car was a sheet and flannel cradle cover; the cradle cover was the victim. I used it to take off a couple of caps under the hood and as a result it was covered in grease and radiator stuff, plus coolant. I washed it in the Orange Degreaser and hoped for the best. It came out sparkling clean with no trace of car residue!! An unusual testimonial to the effectiveness of your product. Thank you!"
1) Wash in lukewarm water. Hot water will cook oil into linens instead of washing it out.
2) Use only 100% cotton linens. These release oil completely unlike polyester-cotton blends.
3) Wash linens within one day of use. If you must wait to wash, store linens in black plastic bags. Tie the bags shut to keep out air and light - the two things that turn oil rancid.
4) Use small hand towels to remove the oil from clients instead of your regular linens. Wash these wipe-off towels in their own load and pre-soak if necessary. This way the oil will stay contained and won't spread throughout all your linens.
5) Do not over-dry linens in the dryer. This cooks the oil in further. Use a medium dryness level setting and remove them as soon as they are dry.
6) If linens are in bad shape, allow them to soak, then launder twice to completely remove residue.
7) For stubborn stain problems, add bleach to the second wash so the bleach can penetrate after some of the oily build-up is gone.
Product Usage Instructions:
* Regular load in a top loading washer - use 4 ounces.
* Extra large load in a top loading washer - use 6 ounces.
* High Efficiency and front loading washers - use 2 ounces.
* Do not exceed 8 ounces per load.
* Add Pure Pro Orange Linen Degreaser to water before adding linens.
* Do not apply to fabric undiluted.
* Not recommended for use on silk, suede, leather, non-colorfast fabrics, or dry clean only garments.
Keep away from children and pets. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
INGESTION: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give 1-2 glasses of milk to dilute the product and get immediate medical help.
EYES: Do not use or store near open flame or sparking equipment. Do not re-use container.
This product is intended only for laundry use.
Grease cutting agents, coconut based surfactants, alkaline salts, d-limonene (citrus peel extracts) water softeners.

I use microfiber sheets, which apparently holds the smell of the creams I use. When I would wash the sheets they would come out smelling great and I would not feel any residue on them. Yet, after folding and stacking them, they would smell again. I felt really disappointed,especially after reading the reviews. I call Dianna and she was so helpful with her suggestions on soaking them in the degreaser overnight and then repeat washing them using more degreaser. I had to do this a few times before I started to smell a difference after I folded and stacked them. I am on my second bottle. I figure with the other products that I was using to wash the sheets and not taking the smell out, it was well worth the price of the degreaser, which really comes out to $1.00 or so a wash load.

I have been a Bodyworker for 20 years. I have been using this product for... many many years. My sheets never feel like there is any residue on them from the cream I use. I do not use oil. I have also used this product to get grease out of my clothes from cooking in the kitchen. Amazing! I have also used this when I forgot to take a piece of gum out of my short pocket before I washed and dried them. Believe me when I tell you that I soaked that part of the short where the gum was in the concentrated degreaser full strength and by morning, the gum was completely removable! thank you Pure Pro!

I've been using Pure Pro Degreaser for years. Before I did, I would periodically have to discard "good" sheets simply because the odor of rancid oil was too unpleasant. This product removes the oil and its odor, and I never throw out good sheets anymore.
Ceegee (Submitted on 29th Aug 2016)
I use it every time I wash and even for clothing that has oil stains. It has worked every time so far, and without damaging the color...
I've just ordered my 5th or 6th gallon, I think!?!
Leslie (Submitted on 12th Feb 2016)
This is a FABULOUS product! Not only does it remove newly acquired oil from linens, but it also removes the rancid odor of previously accumulated oil. No massage therapist should be without Pure Pro Orange Degreaser!

I have been using this product for years. It has extended the life span of my sheets.
Elizabeth (Submitted on 21st Sep 2015)
I have been using this wonderful degreaser for years and years. Here in Florida, especially, linens can get pretty musty and rancid after a while because the oils don't often clean out with normal detergent. The Pure Pro, however, cleans out the oils and, even after sitting on the shelf a long time, linens feel and smell clean, don't get rancid, and with spot treatment, stains usually come right out. Love it.
Laura Morris (Submitted on 7th Jul 2015)
I use this product not only on my sheets 1T per load with detergent plus my home Laundry my husband is a Fire Chief and Plumber the laundry needs this product!

Bulgarian Carpet Cleaner Electrocuted in London
A 22-year-old Bulgarian man has passed away in London after suffering a shock from faulty wiring.
Bulgarian Diyan Hristov was found slumped over furniture at the GBP 1 M Victorian terrace home in Putney, The Evening Standard reported Friday.
His cleaning machine and an electric pedal fan were both still running when his body was discovered in an upstairs bedroom on a chaise longue.
An inquest at Westminster coroner's court heard that poor wiring in the house — which had undergone extensive renovation — led to exposed metal on an appliance becoming live.
According to the report, Hristov moved to the UK back in 2007 together with his girlfriend, Tonka Bimbelova.
"We came over because there wasn't much work in Bulgaria. He hardly ever took a day off. If he had the choice to work or have a day off he always chose work," she told The Standard, referring to Hristov as her "first and only love".
The couple met as teenagers working at a hotel reception in the Black Sea resort of Bourgas, and had been planning to get married and start a family.
Hristov, who worked as a contractor for Perfect Clean, had been hired to clean carpets at the house owned by commercial lawyer Jean-Pierre Douglas-Henry in July 2010.
His body was discovered by Douglas-Henry's wife. She called the emergency services but paramedics could not save him.
Coroner Dr Shirley Radcliffe, who recorded a verdict of accidental death, said experts from the Health and Safety Executive had concluded there were no faults with the cleaning machine.
"Therefore, his conclusion is it must have been as a result of a fault with the electrical installation," she said.
Bimbelova is quoted as saying she would not make any decisions about pursuing a private prosecution until she had spoken to her lawyer.

There's a helpful article written by Georgi Gladyshev in Entropy that addresses appropriate ways of thinking about entropy in evolution. You can find it at http://www.mdpi.org/entropy/papers/e1040055.pdf and I attach it for convenience
I'm afraid the article was over my head. I sent an email to Professors Granville Sewell and Andy McIntosh with the Gladyshev article asking for help. Sewell and McIntosh wrote the articles I attached on June 5.
If that's over your head, you should not be asking a journal to retract a paper on the basis of thermodynamics. As you admitted in a pervious post, your understanding of thermodynamics is limited to a gas in a box. The theromdynamic concepts, however, do apply to liquids, gels, solids and ensembles of those objects and you may be interested in learning how it does.
I appreciate your references to the papers by Sewell and McIntosh but I find neither paper persuasive. Those papers, take us in a very different direction from your assertions. They are focused on a discussion of the mechanisms of entropy change, if I may state it in those terms. You took the approach that thermodynamic parameters are not valid for biological systems, an assertion not supported by anyone, as far as I know.
On the whole, one may assert that both internal factors (characteristics of the biosystem) and external factors (characteristics of the environment) determine the trend of biological evolution, whose progress is, of course, possible thanks to the inflow of solar energy and energy from other sources.
Keep studying the article until you understand all of it. It's good. Note especially the distinction he emphasizes between kinetics and thermodynamics. This is something that Sewell misses as well. Styer is not talking about kinetics and saying anything like what you are attributing to him. He is talking thermodynamics and showing that total entropy is increasing. That is, while the entropy may be decreasing ever so slightly with evolution, properly taking the entire system into account with the energy flow, the overal entropy still increases and the second law is not violated. That is a result independent of the kinetics of what drives the evolution.
Yes, yes, yes, Boltzmann's constant is involved in relating the density of states to the entropy which is in the Gibb's function which is in Gladyshev's article. If you still cannot understand how temperature and entropy apply not only to gases but also to solids and liquids, then we'll just have to stap this conversation. I've repeated it often enough and explained it thoroughly. Maybe one more hint since you seem to think only in terms of gases contained in a box. Perhaps you might think of each atom in a solid body, or a liquid systems, or the like, as being in a box by itself where the box is formed by the neighboring atoms in a nearly fixed fashion. Yes, it all has a temperature and its entropy is calculated through Boltzmann's constant.
They [Pinker and Bloom] particularly emphasized that language is incredibly complex, as Chomsky had been saying for decades. Indeed, it was the enormous complexity of language that made is hard to imagine not merely how it had evolved but that it had evolved at all.But, continued Pinker and Bloom, complexity is not a problem for evolution. Consider the eye. The little organ is composed of many specialized parts, each delicately calibrated to perform its role in conjunction with the others. It includes the cornea,…Even Darwin said that it was hard to image how the eye could have evolved.And yet, he explained, it did evolve, and the only possible way is through natural selection—the inestimable back-and-forth of random genetic mutation with small effects…Over the eons, those small changes accreted and eventually resulted in the eye as we know it. (Christine Kenneally, The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language, pp. 59–60)
Perhaps an analogy will help illustrate why your critique of Styer misses the mark. Suppose Alice and Bob are discussing an ice maker.
Bob: When ice freezes, the entropy decreases. Therefore it violates the second law of theromdynamics.
Alice: No, it doesn't! The ice maker works by plugging it into the electrical outlet and the power from the electric power source provides more entropy than the water/ice system loses, so the second law of thermodynamics is preserved.
Bob: FOUL! You just said that energy from the electric power source causes a decrease in entropy of the ice which is absurd.
Alice: Of course not! The electrical power runs the motor which runs the compressor which transfers the heat from the water to the environment.
In that analogy, Bob made exactly the same mistake you've made. Styer's argument is just like Alice's--looking at the thermodynamics of the entire system, not needing to comment on the kinetics of the compressor and pump that transfer the entropy from the water to the environment. Similarly, Styer didn't need to deal with the kinetics of how the entropy is transferred, only that the total entropy flow is consistent with the second law. Gladysheve rightly articulates the distinction between theromdynamics and kinetics.
The entropy of a star does increase. It heats up, doesn't it? The second law does state the entropy will increase in a closed system and indeed that has never been violated to our knowledge.
Your characterization of anyone (and it's not just atheists but also Christians who understand science) responding in panic is rather far off the mark. The response is usually one of exasperation towards people who ought to know better but keep insisting wrongly that evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics. It doesn't at any level of the hierarchy, as Gladyshev rightly points out. In every case, those who argue that evolution violates the second law have in some way misunderstood or misstated thermodynamic principles.
You in particular failed to see that the basic concepts of temperature and entropy apply to more than gases but also to solids and liquids and biological systems. And you wrongly accused Styer of claiming the sun's heat was a mechanistic cause of the reduction of entropy in evolution.

Pittsburgh: A Cultural Phenomenon
Pittsburgh - called one of the best arts and culture destinations in the country - has built a stellar reputation for the quality and richness of its art and its cultural offerings. Set in the heart of the city, downtown's vibrant Cultural District is home to nine theatres that showcase a world renowned symphony orchestra, opera, dance and award-winning plays that enliven Downtown Pittsburgh.
And, throughout the city and the region, galleries and museums offer everything from the cutting-edge to the classic. The entertainment is endless and the quality and variety superb. So, put aside your previous impressions of Pittsburgh - and prepare to be astounded.
Pittsburgh is on the map when it comes to arts and culture. A rich legacy of community investment and involvement from well-known industrial and corporate leaders (e.g., Carnegie, Mellon, Heinz, Frick, Scaife, Benedum, Phipps, Hillman and a host of others) have built the foundation of the city's rich cultural environment.
From the world-renowned Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, which performs in its elegant Heinz Hall home, to the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Pittsburgh Opera, Pittsburgh Dance Council and PNC Broadway Series all performing at the beautifully-restored Benedum Center for the Performing Arts - and from contemporary and classical plays performed by the Pittsburgh Public Theater at the O'Reilly Theatre, to the August Wilson Center for African American Culture, the Cultural District is unique. Few cities can compare to this vibrant 14-block area rich with live theatre, art and numerous restaurants.
For art lovers, there are a plethora of museums and galleries. Among these is the highly acclaimed Andy Warhol Museum, the "art that dares" museums celebrates the life and work of one of Pop Arts founding fathers and Pittsburgh native. The largest single artist museum in the United States, the Warhol is a must see! The Mattress Factory, hailed as one of the world's best facility for installation art, is always a surprise. The Carnegie Museum of Art houses an outstanding collection of contemporary art that includes film and video works plus works of American art from the late nineteenth century, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings and European and American decorative arts from the late seventeenth century to the present. And, the Carnegie Museum of Natural History's renovation houses the third largest collection of authentic dinosaur bones in the world.
Other outstanding collections include the Frick Art + Historical Center, once the residence of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, the Senator John Heinz History Center, the Westmoreland Museum of American Art, the Nationality Rooms at the University of Pittsburgh, where 29 rooms depict Pittsburgh's ethnic heritage, and a host of other museums located throughout the region. And, just outside of Pittsburgh are stunning examples of Frank Lloyd Wright's amazing architecture, including Fallingwater, called one of the 50 places of a lifetime, the House on Kentuck Knob and the Duncan House, one of six Wright-designed homes where you can actually spend the night.
So if you think you've got to go to New York City or Paris for some serious arts and culture, think again. Pittsburgh is on the map when it comes to its long-standing passion for the arts.

With an EBITDA growth of 7%, Columbus delivers a satisfactory first half of 2019, and maintains full year expectations
Ballerup, 22 August 2019: Today, Columbus released the financial results for the first half of 2019. The company delivered a revenue of DKK 977m which is an organic growth of 2%. EBITDA increased to DKK 102m, an organic growth of 7%.
Good progress in the business despite a slow Q2
In general, Columbus saw good progress, especially in the M3 and Commerce practices.
Sales of Columbus Care also continued to be strong with 16% growth in the first half of the year, as well as sales of cloud services growing by 47%.
Columbus started the year with an organic revenue growth of 7% in Q1, however Q2 was slower, causing reduced growth overall within the first half of the year. Columbus Software sales, the turnaround in the US, a challenging customer project in Norway and the Brexit impact, caused the lower growth in Q2 than we expected. However, despite these challenges, Columbus still delivers.
“I am satisfied with the result for the first half of the year, where we delivered 7% EBITDA growth despite a slow Q2. In general, we see good progress in our business with many new initiatives and a successful integration process”, says CEO & President in Columbus, Thomas Honoré.
Integration of iStone on track
The integration of iStone and the Stronger Together program, is being executed according to plan and the company experiences a range of synergies across the business such as a Nordic Finance Team and a merged organisation in Norway. The Swedish Commerce business is expanding its business to UK and Denmark and Columbus’ Global Delivery Centre in India has been expanded with M3, Dynamics and AMS resources. Today, the former iStone operates under the Columbus name with one common website and an overall stronger brand.
Growth in new business areas
First half of 2019 was characterised by increased investments in building new offerings within the framework of 9 Doors to Digital Leadership®. In the first half of the year, Columbus launched a range of new offerings which are seeing good traction in the market with Enterprise customers for larger deals. The sales within the new business areas, Analytics & Business Insight, Customer Experience and Application Management (Columbus Care) continued to deliver growth.
The 9 Doors to Digital Leadership® means that Columbus can deliver “end-to-end” digital solutions that helps our customers to maximise, transform and futureproof their businesses digitally”.
Maintains expectations to 2019
Columbus maintains the announced expectations for 2019, with a revenue of DKK 2bn and EBITDA of DKK 240m.

Even though these schools are very structured and discipline-oriented, they are not usually the best solution for students who are having a hard time. Students are held to high academic standards and the end goal is to get them prepared for high level universities.

Discussion in 'Chit Chat' started by Dr. Zhivodka, Dec 7, 2009.
12000 post later Beelo is nowhere to be found.
He's been scaling in short since March...I'd bet he's at the end of a rope that's tied to the rafters.
i doubt he ever shorted a stock in his life.
The guy posted 5000 articles of impending doom while the market rallied 65% in 9 months.
Some of the articles were good reads, but he acted like a childish loser whenever someone disagreed with his "next great depression" rhetoric.
i was wondering the same thing, i have to admit i miss his posts

While every business has been affected by COVID-19, the tourism industry has been completely turned on its head.
Travel bans brought international travel to a grinding halt. Domestic demand plummeted. And, with most offices and tourist attractions closed, there was, and is, nowhere to go.
And for good reason—if you don’t absolutely need to, why sit in a cramped, crowded, de facto contagion tube for hours on end?
Airlines have already enacted drastic changes: Delta blocked middle seats and boards guests ten-at-a-time. JetBlue suspended food and drinks services. Many have slashed cabin occupancy by half and all are becoming overfamiliar with an aggressive sanitisation process.
With much of the world reopening, it’s possible these measures relax in the next few months. But just because a threat lessens doesn’t mean the scars do. After September 11, air travel changed forever. Shoes were checked at security, cockpit doors became bulletproof and TSA was created.
It’s likely that COVID-19 will also leave a lasting impact, even after social distancing measures are necessary.
We did some research on how our next holiday may look in time to come, taking cues from the countries who have relaxed quarantine measures before us.
An emphasis on sustainability
Due to the slowdown during quarantine, NASA satellite images have shown a vast reduction in nitrogen dioxide emissions in China, Waterways in Venice appear cleaner due to lack of tourist boat traffic and in India, a nationwide curfew resulted in the lowest levels of pollution ever recorded in springtime, according to the Centre for Research on Clean Air.
Because of this, slow travel, carbon offsetting and opting for altogether greener options will likely flavour travelling in a post-COVID-19 world. Perhaps you too can make like Greta and sail.
Less everyday travel
Rush hour could potentially be a thing of the past if businesses decide that virtual meetings, working from home and remote collaboration proves more effective than commuting. This could benefit us in a number of ways; prices of rent falling, savings on petrol, better work/life balance, a drop in fossil fuels and potentially a more effective way of working.
The long-term impacts on businesses cannot be predicted but if isolation has led to a more flexible work base, then it is possible that people will continue working at home and travel less.

Changes in air travel
Similar to what happened post 9/11, changes will have to be made regarding the way we travel. Packing people into small spaces and not checking for rudimentary symptoms will likely become a thing of the past.
In China, for example, we are seeing planes land at intermediary airports for health checks before flying onto some of its bigger cities. Crowding the gate hoping to get on first may likely cease, the desire to use the aeroplane bathroom will hit almighty lows and inflight magazines may never return to the seat pocket.
Investment in technology
Long lines will have little to no place in a post-coronavirus world, meaning that a change in technology for check-in, security and immigration is imminent. Luckily, this is wholly possible by way of biometrics.
Etihad Airways is currently testing out self-service kiosks that can monitor the temperature, heart rate and respiratory rate of passengers checking in or passing through immigration. Just as certain vaccinations are currently needed to travel to different parts of the world, immunisation cards may henceforth be used when travelling to prove liability.
More flexible cancellation policies
It’s likely that airlines, cruise ships and hotels will be keen to fill seats once more by providing more flexible policies when travel begins again, something we’ve already witnessed amid COVID-19 panic.
But, experts believe that this might be short-lived. While the US Department of Transportation issued a notice to airlines on April 3 saying that they must offer refunds on cancelled flights, many passengers still report having trouble getting their money back. A number of travel service providers have waived fees of late amid the pandemic, but now, it’s just a case of how long will it last.
Hygiene and sanitation will be prioritised
Clean freaks, rejoice! Coming out of COVID-19, it’s safe to say that everyone is going to be a little more health-conscious. Cleaning planes, cruise ships and hotel rooms is likely going to be taken up a level to protect travellers.
Some even predict the rise of a new kind of plane class, which has somewhat jokingly been referred to as ‘isolation grade’. Most foresee airlines having to step up their precautions, whether that's testing the health of every single person at boarding, providing face masks and sanitiser, or offering various degrees of distance between people, be that with curtains or little rooms as we have seen in some airlines' first-class cabins.
Travel agents could make a comeback
As people around the world struggled to get out of certain countries ahead of the travel ban, or spent hours on the phone fighting to get their money back on flights they had to cancel, the pros of a human travel agent versus an online travel agency might have come into sharp focus.
Those keen to travel from now on will be acutely aware of how plans can crumble at the drop of a hat, which will likely result in people seeking professional advocacy on their behalf. We have seen this play out over the past three months when people have scrambled to figure out how to get home, travel advisers are 10 steps ahead already rebooking their clients return trips.
We’ll take our dream trip
While, theoretically, we’re aware that “someday” may never come, the message is now crystal clear – that we must grab chances while we have the ability to do so. Leisure travel went from being as popular as ever at the beginning of 2020 to grinding to an indefinite halt by mid-March.
We’ve also seen lives cut short by a virulent disease we knew nothing about this time last year. Those factors will combine to create a space in which travellers will no longer put off trips they’ve forever dreamed of – once it’s safe to explore, of course.
Travel insurance will spike
For frequent flyers, relying on credit cards with trip protection has generally been enough to defend against any worse-case scenarios. But, after the travel industry was upended by COVID-19, most of us learned that pandemics are not covered under most types of travel insurance policies. Even most independent policies weren’t much help for travellers who had to back out of certain plans.
According to InsureMyTrip, the number of travel insurance policies has increased some 200 per cent since January, suggesting that people are already thinking how they’ll protect their travel investments in the future.
Frequent flyer accounts will be drained
While the process of living through COVID-19 is far from over, we’ve already seen some contraction in how you can use miles from certain programs and even banks. Thus far, this has largely meant the removal of gift card redemption options. But, time will tell if these cuts go deeper. There will definitely be a collective desire to travel again once restrictions are lifted but there will also be a desire to spend wisely, meaning that miles and points will take on greater importance in making trips happen.
The thought process? Why wait –– you just never know what’s around the corner and when your chance to travel may be halted again.

listen there’s a debate going on in ireland at the moment on whether or not it’s okay for gay people to call homophobic people homophobic because it’s offending the homophobic people………………… i know, take a second
An important update! Looks like protesting is paying off in some respects. Happy to see this generous contribution from the Canadian government.
We will not stop protesting and raising awareness for our cause because although humanitarian aid helps, it does not end suffering and erase wounds. We cannot forget their hardships. Long term solutions are needed: the displaced refugees need a safe haven.
In Mosul, Iraq, Assyrian Christians have fled their homes to avoid being killed. Most people don’t know what’s going on, but ISIS members are killing my people. They have given them no choice but to flea, or they would have to convert to Islam, pay a huge tax, or die. There are no longer any…
text posts are like children
you delete the ones that dont succeed
I’m thankful for all the different ways I can eat potatoes

Adam and Eve (Dürer)
|Adam and Eve|
|Medium||Oil on panel|
|Dimensions||Two panels, each 209 cm × 81 cm (82 in × 32 in)|
|Location||Museo del Prado, Madrid|
Completed in 1507, the work followed a 1504 copper engraving by Dürer on the same subject, one which offered Dürer the opportunity to depict the ideal human figure. Painted in Nuremberg soon after his return from Venice, the panels were influenced by Italian art. Dürer's observations on his second trip to Italy provided him with new approaches to portraying the human form. Here, he depicts Adam and Eve at human scale—the first full-scale nude subjects in German painting.
Adam and Eve's first home was the Prague Castle, the property of collector Rudolf II. During the Thirty Years' War, armies plundered the castle and the panels came to be owned by Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden. His daughter, Christina, gave the work to Philip IV of Spain in 1654. Later King Charles III ordered in 1777 that the painting be hidden in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. It arrived at its current home, Madrid's Museo del Prado, in 1827, but was not publicly displayed until 1833.

Queen Elizabeth II Marks 60 Years
Queen celebrates 60 years on throne
A small crowd greets Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II as the monarch marks 60 years on the throne. The anniversary is normally recognised privately as the anniversary of her accession also marks the day her father George VI died. The Queen travelled on the day from her Sandringham estate to King’s Lynn in the eastern county of Norfolk, to meet local dignitaries and visit a school. Elizabeth II has been on the throne for longer than any other British monarch except Queen Victoria who reigned for almost 64 years. During her reign – which began aged 25 – there have been 12 British prime ministers, 12 U.S. presidents and six popes. In London meanwhile, gun salutes in Hyde Park and at the Tower of London marked the diamond jubilee of her accession to the throne. Major celebrations will take place over four days in June, including a concert at Buckingham Palace and a pageant involving a flotilla of 1,000 ships on the River Thames. Simon Hanna, Reuters.
By GREGORY KATZ
The Associated Press
“I love that the monarchy is above politics and feel that the queen represents that best of all,” said Laura Skrzynski, a longtime admirer of Elizabeth who joined the crowd of about 150 people applauding the queen’s arrival. “She stands for integrity and respect, and I am inspired by her faith. She has been a constant through all our lives.”
Accession Day is usually marked quietly because it also marks the anniversary of the death of Elizabeth’s father, King George VI. But it drew extra attention Monday because this year marks the queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. Only Queen Victoria had a longer reign.
Elizabeth said in a message to mark the occasion that she and her husband, Prince Philip, have been “deeply moved” to receive so many kind messages about her Diamond Jubilee.
“I am writing to thank you for the wonderful support and encouragement that you have given to me and Prince Philip over these years,” she wrote in a message to the nation.
“In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope that we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighborliness, examples of which I have been fortunate to see throughout my reign.”
Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain praised the queen’s “magnificent service,” thanking her for guiding the nation with “dignity and quiet authority.”
“Always dedicated, always resolute and always respected, she is a source of wisdom and continuity,” Cameron said. “All my life, and for the lives of most people in this country, she has always been there for us. Today, and this year, in the 60th anniversary of her reign, we have the chance to say thank you.”
Many praised the queen for her steadfastness and quiet sense of duty. She and Philip have persevered, refusing to cut back on their official duties until very recently, despite their advancing years, and they have avoided the marital dramas that have buffeted their children. Three of the couple’s four children had their first marriages end in divorce.
The queen’s popularity seemed to drop briefly in the tumultuous days following the 1997 death of Princess Diana in a car crash in Paris, but her strong bond with the British rebounded, as shown by the crowd of roughly 1 million who gathered outside Buckingham Palace to applaud her on her Golden Jubilee in 2002.
The queen’s Diamond Jubilee will be marked with a series of regional, national and international events throughout 2012.
Over the course of the year, members of the royal family — including Prince William and his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge — will fan out across the globe and travel to Commonwealth countries, including Canada, Jamaica and Belize.
The queen and Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, will stay closer to home, touring the U.K. from March to July. Philip, 90, was recently diagnosed with heart problems that may affect his future travel plans.
The 2012 Diamond Jubilee weekend will be held June 2-5, with the main highlight likely to be a huge pageant on the River Thames featuring a 1,000-strong flotilla. A gala concert is also planned.
Elizabeth expressed hope that the coming year will be a time to give thanks “for the great advances” since she took the throne and “look forward to the future with a clear head and warm heart.”
