The game supports 2 players and 4 player mini-games. Amazon will be shipping these games out on August 25th, 2008 and for a limited time, you can save $10 when you use their Bill Me Later checkout.

Great work, well done ntw. A labour of love, no doubt.
If you get round to updating the all-time player list that would be amazing.
Having done this myself with the Doncaster ones, its a labour of love. But, the players I've spoken to about it love the fact that they have their number in a bit of the clubs history.
What a fabulous resource, for now and future generations. Superb work.
Fantastic work. I'd love to see the programmes from 1993/94 just for a bit of nostalgia, as it was my first season.

Discussion in 'Bad Dog Cafe' started by Shuster, Apr 17, 2019 at 1:57 PM.
Here's the story, I bought a pedal, a Mooer Black Truck to be exact. The pedal had problems as soon as I plugged it in, it had a real bad bleed over problem. I wrote the seller in Canada, and he told me, if it turns on and can be adjusted there is nothing wrong with it! Then went on about buyer remorse?? We went back and forth for a week, asked Reverb to step in, what a joke that is!!
Did you buy with a credit card? If you did, that's your recourse.

Or if you paid with paypal, you have several rights.

Yes Sir, going to wait till Reverb gets back to me, then the credit union.
Reverb is legit in my experience, just make your case and be polite but firm.
Torren61, brbadg, ftbtx and 1 other person like this.
No need for alarm here; this order is made via Reverb Payments, so we have flexibility/control over the payment here.
I will follow up with the seller about getting this refunded; thanks for following up!
Glad I didn't get the "deal with it yourself" I got the first couple of emails to them!
I think they can 'force' the money back to you if needed. Reverb runs much better than ebay, so hopefully it'll all work out.
Torren61 and Shuster like this.
Like others above. I think they'll square you away themselves no matter what. Trouble with payment processors will raise their processing fees in the long run, probably by more than it would cost to just take care of things themselves.
Their shipping protection probably has enough built into it to cover all of their service fees, anyway. It's exorbitant.
Anytime a transaction is completed online there is a risk of trouble. It is important to be cool about it and realize that you don't have all the information to know exactly what is going on. Maybe the pedal was damaged in shipping so the seller believes you are one of those jerks (lots of them out there) that planned to try out the pedal and return it from the start to get a home demo for free. Again, there are a lot of them out there and so he may have had little interest in dealing with you. He may have also been the kind of seller that takes his listings down because he doesn't like dealing with online transactions after something like this happens....it can leave you jaded. I sold a $1200 amplifier last year and the buyer insisted on returning it 2 weeks later saying that the speaker blew. I had to deal with that guy calling and texting me several times per day as if it was my fault that he blew up a speaker after a couple of weeks. Believe me, I stopped selling online for months after that.
Reverb does a good job at resolving such simple matters. You will get your money back, just chalk it up to what can happen sometimes when buying online. For the most part, transactions go smoothly.
Shuster and MilwMark like this.
Another thing is make sure all your communication is via reverb messenger, as they can read these and act as a mediator if necessary. If you’re out of line or a jerk don’t expect much in the way of help.
Torren61, Shuster and Milspec like this.
If you want easy purchase and returns buy face to face in stores.
Unrealistic to expect seller and the platform not to ask questions IMO. And it takes time for things to ship back and forth, check them out, etc.
E5RSY, Shuster and Milspec like this.
I bet Reverb comes through for you.
I have had a few successful purchases through Reverb and one problem one. A high end guitar arrived damaged via shipping and I notified Reverb and to Reverb’s and the store’s credit, they both acted very quickly and resolved the issue completely to my total satisfaction. I will buy from that store again and have bought through Reverb since.
The one time I needed Reverb's help, they told me I had to go through PayPal not them. That was on an item that never shipped.
Is it correct to assume that you paid through paypal? I could understand why they'd want you to do that if that's the case, as paypal takes the fee on the payment processing and thus would be on the hook for service related to it.
The only issues I’ve had as both a buyer and a seller is shipping...most places/people nowadays have access to Reverb’s shipping generator. Problem is as soon as money changes hands, some will generate a tracking number thru USPS, UPS, whatever, but not actually get the purchased goods TO the shipper for up to 5 days.
Reverb/CME are great. I bought a '59 Melody Maker and found out a year later that it had a neck repair they didn't mention (couldn't see it without UV light). They sent me a shipping label and gave me a complete refund.
Nah , it was my credit card this time, paypal wasn't an option with this seller, which kind of tells it's own story.
Sorry, that comment was for raito.
I'd do what you did, always use the credit card. Even if it's through paypal, I still use the credit card instead of the balance, etc. You've always got a last line of defense then. Only ever had to go to the credit card company one time, and that was almost 15 years ago (someone didn't deliver a speaker, said they had shipped it several times and never did) - the credit card company took care of it in about two minutes.
dogmeat and Shuster like this.
I bought a Catalinbread SFT pedal for 250$. I tried it in the store and it sounded glorious, I got it home, plugged it in and it sounded fine - after 30 mins, it suddenly lost all but the most minute amount of gain. It was almost a clean boost.
I went back to the store the next day, who told me that they had to send it to Catalinbread, and would not replace it as it was now a 'warranty repair' despite it being 24 hours only since I bought it.
Catalinbread 'lost' the pedal for 3 months. They finally returned it and said that there was no issue, and that each pedal 'sounded unique', mine just had less gain than the others, but they would do nothing.
The store, on hearing that Catalinbread wouldn't help, quoted the 'it's working fine' line from CB. We set out 10 of the same pedal, and while there was some difference, they all sounded amazing, apart from my now 'clean boost'. The store refused to budge.

Is the state of the environment a concern for working class people?
When we link to another group from this blog, it is not a one hundred percent endorsement of their politics, strategy and tactics. What it represents is an acknowledgement that they’re broadly moving in the same direction of travel as us. If we were to be totally purist and insist on near total alignment with our politics, there would certainly be fewer links in the sidebar!
Fortunately we’re not purists, we’re pragmatists. Operating out here in Essex, we have to be pragmatic when it comes to working with ad-hoc alliances to achieve a result. The Save Southend NHS campaign is one such example of a broad ranging ad-hoc alliance that got a result and one that we’ve been happy to stand alongside on a few occasions. Save Our Libraries Essex looks to be another alliance we’ll be happy to support.
This is pretty much how we operate also. If we criticise an action or policy we try to be specific and leave personal feelings out. Above all you need to be involved in a campaign to have an opinion on how it’s run!
And when it’s occasionally necessary to take issue with someone over careless language or historical revisionism, the best way still is and always will be, one to one and face to face.

One of my lights doesn't working even after replacing the bulb. Where do I go next?
On the Murena most lights are powered via the circuit and fuse board at the front left under the bonnet. The four edge connectors that join the circuits to the board (grey, green, yellow and white) have terminals inside that are liable to crack and lose positive contact to the board. If this happens, whatever that circuit supplies will probably only work intermittently or not work at all. You will have to replace the wire terminal in the plug and then all will be well. These terminals were available from Rover dealers under the part numbers: ADU 7972 and ADU 7973 although it's been a while since I needed any, so I can't say for definite if they are still available. Also you can try Ford as they used them too. If the lamp not working is one of the front driving lamps, check the security of it's bracket to the chassis. It earths through this contact, and if it is loose or corroded, then it will not work. The other places to check for bad connections are the multi-plug connectors near the headlamps. If it is one of the rear lamps that is not working, and you have a German spec. car, there is an inline fuse mounted behind the lamp. The German regulations say both rear lights must not be on the same circuit so that if it fails they both fail. So the rear lamps are fed from the unfused side of the board at the front and separately fused at the rear, behind the lamp.
Where do I get Murena door mirror spares or replacements?
The door mirrors on a Murena are almost identical to some Lancia Delta (1981) and some Monte Carlo models. The one difference was the colour of the glass. The Murena used clear glass whilst the Lancia models used a blue tint. The mirrors are handed and the glass is convex which gives a good rear view. If you replace a broken original with flat glass you will quickly realise the view is useless by comparison. Although right and left look very similar, there is enough difference that if you try to fit the wrong glass it might break. Since these are virtually impossible to get now, you don't want to break one needlessly! To remove the glass only, you need to push a knife in behind the plastic rim and prise it off, it is simply clipped in all the way around. The glass sits on four small rubbers pushed on to four pegs - be careful not to lose them! The mirror is no longer made for either Matra or Lancia so we both have problems and a diminishing stock of good ones. Never throw broken ones away, as many of the parts can be saved and it is often possible to build up a good one from several broken ones!
If you have a mirror that won't adjust up or down, and in fact usually rotates down on its own, then the gearing inside the tube section is damaged or broken. This can usually be repaired with good gears and parts from another broken mirror. If you only have a cracked glass, you could use one of the stick on mirror glasses available from most car accessory shops, and stick it on top of the broken one. However, please note these replacements are usually flat glass and are not suitable for the Murena. It needs convex glass. Most damaged mirrors though in my experience are because the casting has broken, usually because the mirror was hit or snapped forwards. I have tried several ways to repair this casting but none have been successful. I believe the only way would be to alloy weld it, but the casting is often porous, very small where it breaks, and it would be difficult if not impossible to do this. So take great care with these mirrors!
Latest news: Greig Dalgliesh made some new parts for these mirrors - the casting that is poor and commonly breaks has been made from solid aluminium - not cheap but makes an original mirror far better. He also has the long brass centre rods which get broken when the casting breaks. So if this is your problem you can now repair a broken mirror to better than original.
Matra Passion had some spare gear sets for these mirrors made. They have probably all gone now. There have been some others produced and sold commercially too, but they have one crucial fault. The original hub pins that supported the 9 tiny gears had metal inserts for strength. It appears these new ones do not, and that means the only one I have fitted so far, lasted just six months before all three pins on one hub sheared off leaving the mirror loose and it started dropping under its own weight and became useless.
You need to be very careful with these mirrors. If you think someone might knock it whilst parked, or you might catch it whilst working on the car, carefully fold it inwards first. Lancia had three or four versions over a period of years, but only the first series is like ours. The last version had a head that remained fixed and the mirror glass adjusted inside it, unlike ours where the whole head adjusts, but unfortunately they won't fit the Murena unless you want to start modifying the door! On the continent, I have seen an alternative fitted, but it is smaller, uses flat glass and is closer to the body since it no longer has a head extended from the door, but fits closely on the 'triangle'; and therefore does not give a good rear view like the original. However, it is one alternative. Another I have heard about but not seen myself, is the possibility of fitting a BMW door mirror. My guess is this is the sport style that is extended away from the door on 'legs' but whichever type it is, it will involve some modifications. Also as it is a BMW part, it would be expensive! If you are prepared to go non-standard, then I am sure there will be more than one possibility or alternative, but you will need to search around and try it out yourself.
One or both of my Murena rear lamps are broken. Where can I get replacements?
The rear lamps on a Murena are a combination of Talbot Horizon base units with unique lenses attached in place of the Horizon ones. These unique lenses are virtually no longer available. There have been some replacements remade on the continent but they are about 180 Euro each. If you wish to keep the car original, unless you can find some secondhand ones, or repair the damaged ones, you may have no other choice. However, if you need a good lamp to pass an M.o.T. it might be possible to simply fit two complete Horizon lamps. The lens will obviously not conform to the cars' shape, and will have to be shaped but as a quick short term fix it will make it legal. If you are open to changing the car away from standard, there have been some other alternatives in Europe. One involved using those round rear lamps like the Ferrari often uses, surrounded by a black plastic in the shape of our original lens, so blending in with the shape of the car.
I cannot get RHD Rancho / Murena headlamps. What can I do?
The original RHD Rancho and Murena headlamps are extremely difficult to get or are no longer available. Replace the mountings with Wipac open body mounting sets (5669) for the Murena or Wipac closed body mounting sets (5400) for the Rancho and fit the common English standard 7 inch headlamps. For standard halogen bulbs (472) use the Quadoptic lamp units (4694) or you could buy sealed beam units for low cost. You will need to do some slight modifications in the case of the Murena, but these are fairly easy and one of our club members has written a full article on this after doing his own car. This appears in our club magazine July 2009. The reference numbers are from the Wiring Products catalogue (Tel: 01159 305454).
Where can I get a Matra windscreen?
For a Rancho windscreen, since this is a standard Simca/Talbot part, you should try these sources first. The Djet/Jet windscreen was virtually the same as that fitted to a similar age Alfa Romeo Giulia SS, but that will be rare now too, so you may need to try the specialists for one. For the M530, Bagheera, and Murena models, have you tried UROglas? This company deals in unusual glass and can often provide windscreens or other glass for unusual cars. They say they can even supply a heated screen for a Murena. However, one tip - give their details to the windscreen specialists that will be replacing your windscreen and let them obtain the glass. If it is damaged in transit, it will then be nothing to do with you!
My Murena glass hatch doesn't lift on it's own, or it lifts only slightly.
The rear glass is supported by two pressurised struts, and these can leak so slowly over a period of time, that without a noticeable leak, they can no longer lift the weight of the glass. If this is the case, then when you lift it manually to it's top position, the glass probably won't stay there, but will start to drop again. In this case, you must replace the struts. However, you may be able to get them re-gassed providing the seals are still good. This will cost a lot less and be as good as new ones.
However, if you find the glass will stay up once you have lifted it manually, assisting the struts, then you may have a problem of one or both of the hinges seizing up. This does happen if the car is not used regularly and stands around. So spray the hinges with some penetrating oil and then work the glass up and down to free them off. Then lightly oil the hinges to keep them free. You should now find the glass will lift on it's own, when you release it. The reason you couldn't tell the hinges had become tight is that you have quite a lot of leverage distance from the hinges, at the rear of the glass where you lift it, and the glass is very heavy and the struts are taking most of the weight. If you had removed the glass, you would have immediately noticed the seized hinges when you tried to move them!

Every sweetness of life in this world partaketh of sorrow: glory endureth not, wealth passeth, beauty and health fade away, and friends and neighbors are taken away by death. Wherefore, sweeten our sorrows, Thou cause of every good thing, bestowing Thine incorruptible joy upon us that cry out to God: Alleluia!
Rejoice, Thou that hast made glad all Christians that have confidence in Thee; rejoice, joy and tranquility of the world! Rejoice, bestower of divine goodness; rejoice, hope of eternal blessings! Rejoice, ship of them that wish to be saved; rejoice, harbor for the voyages of life! Rejoice, faithful preserver of them that, after God, do trust in Thee; rejoice, vesture of them that are stripped of boldness! Rejoice, preserver and confirmation for all; rejoice, fortification and sacred refuge of all the faithful! Rejoice, help of them that faithfully pray to Thee; rejoice, radiant knowledge of Grace!
Desiring to save the human race from eternal torment and unending sorrow, the Lord Who loveth mankind dwelt in Thine ever-virgin womb, and gave Thee, His own mother, to the perishing as a help, protection, and defense, that Thou mightest be the consolation of the grieving, the rejoicing of the sorrowful, the hope of the despairing, releasing them from eternal torment by Thine intercession, and leading to heavenly gladness all that faithfully cry to Thy Son and our God: Alleluia!
Rejoice, pillar of virginity; rejoice, chosen vessel of purity and chastity! Rejoice, special crowning of them that by chastity make war upon the flesh; rejoice, bestower of eternal rejoicing upon them that mourn profitably in monasticism! Rejoice, Thou that dost quench the flame of the passions; rejoice, Thou that dost dispel the darkness of temptations! Rejoice, guide to chastity; rejoice, rampart of purity! Rejoice, reformation of mankind; rejoice, Thou by whom we are raised up from the fall! Rejoice, steadfast affirmation of the Faith; rejoice, pleasing incense of prayer!
We, Thy servants, offer Thee a hymn of compunction, O Theotokos, for Thou art the all-powerful helper of our race. Assuage the pains of those who flee to Thee; appease the wrath of God which hath been justly aroused against us because of our sins; deliver us from every bitter pain and sorrow, who cry through Thee to God: Alleluia!
Rejoice, Thou that by Thy mighty assistance dost deliver us from all calamities; rejoice, Thou that dost defend us from earthquake and flood! Rejoice, Thou that dost provide for us against hunger of body and soul; rejoice, Thou that dost extinguish the fire by the dew of Thy prayers! Rejoice, Thou that dost save us from deadly pestilence; rejoice, mighty helper in battles! Rejoice, Thou that defendest us from the invasions of foreigners; rejoice, Thou that dost preserve us from civil strife! Rejoice, easy passage of them that sail upon the water; rejoice, good guide of them that travel! Rejoice, liberation of captives; rejoice, speedy deliverance from the righteous wrath of God that threateneth us!
Wishing to give a pledge of Grace to mankind, Thou didst reveal Thy healing icon to us, O Mother of God, from which streams of wonders are poured forth for them that approach with faith - infirmities are healed and sorrows assuaged. Wherefore do we cry in Thee to God: Alleluia!
Rejoice, our unashamed hope in life and after our repose; rejoice, Thou that dost grant a peaceful end of this life to them that trust in Thee! Rejoice, our hope and defense on the day of judgment; rejoice, supplication of the just Judge! Rejoice, deliverance from everlasting Gehenna; rejoice, hope of eternal salvation! Rejoice, key to the Kingdom of Christ; rejoice, portal of Paradise! Rejoice, bridge leading to the heavens; rejoice, refuge and good intercessor for all repentant sinners! Rejoice, joy of the angels; rejoice, glory and consolation of all the righteous!
O all-hymned, divinely favored Mother, Thou that didst bear Christ the King, our God, to the joy of Heaven and earth: hearken unto the voice of Thy sorrowing servants and having received this our small supplication, deliver us from every affliction, sorrow, and temptation; heal our infirmities, destroy vicious slanders, drive far from us every evil and enemy, and deliver from future torment them that cry in Thee: Alleluia!
O Lady most holy and Theotokos, Thou that art more exalted than the Cherubim and more honorable than the Seraphim, O divinely-chosen Maiden, Joy of all who sorrow; grant consolation even unto us that are sunk in sorrow, for apart from Thee we have no refuge or assistance. Thou alone are the Mediatress of our joy and, in that Thou art the Mother of God and Mother of mercy, standing at the throne of the All-holy Trinity, Thou art able to help us, for none that doth flee to Thee departeth ashamed. Therefore, hearken now in the day of our sorrow unto us who fall down before Thine icon and supplicate Thee with tears: drive away from us the sorrows and griefs that assail us in this temporal life, and by Thine omnipotent intercession may we not be deprived of eternal and never-ending joy in the Kingdom of Thy Son and our God. Amen.
O my most blessed Queen, O Theotokos my hope, guardian of orphans and intercessor for strangers, Joy of the sorrowful, Protectress of the oppressed; Thou beholdest my misfortune, Thou seest my sorrow. Help me, for I am infirm; feed me, for I am a stranger. Thou knowest mine offense: do Thou loose it, as Thou dost will, for I have none other help but Thee, nor any other intercessor save Thee, O Mother of God. Do Thou preserve and protect me unto the ages of ages. Amen.
O most holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the hosts on high, Queen of Heaven and earth, almighty intercessor of our city and country: receive this hymn of praise and thanksgiving from us, Thine unworthy servants, and bear our prayers to the throne of God, Thy Son, that He may be merciful towards our unrighteousness and extend His Grace to them that honor Thine All-honorable name and bow down before Thy wonder-working icon with faith and love. For we are not worthy to be pitied by Him. Wherefore we flee to Thee as our undoubted and speedy intercessor: hearken Thou unto us that supplicate Thee. Overshadow us with Thine almighty protection, and request of God Thy Son: zeal and vigilance concerning souls for our pastors, wisdom and strength for civil authorities, justice and equity for judges; knowledge and humility for them that teach; love and concord between husbands and wives, obedience for children; patience for the oppressed; fear of God for the oppressors; strength of spirit for the sorrowful; moderation for the joyful; and for all of us: the spirit of understanding and piety, the spirit of mercy and meekness, the spirit of purity and righteousness. Yea, O most holy Lady, take pity on Thine afflicted people: gather the dispersed, guide to the right path them that are astray, support the aged, teach the young sober-mindedness, nourish the infants, and look down with the gaze of Thy merciful assistance upon us all. Raise us up from the abyss of sin and open the eyes of our hearts to the vision of salvation. Take pity on us here and now - both in the land of our earthly sojourn and at the dread judgment of Thy Son. Cause our fathers and brethren who have passed from this life in faith and repentance to abide in eternal life with the angels and all the saints, for Thou, O Lady, art the glory of them in Heaven and the hope of them upon the earth. After God Thou art our hope and the helper of all that flee to Thee with faith. Therefore, to Thee do we pray, and as to an all-powerful helper, to Thee do we commend ourselves and each other and all our life, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Austrian triathlon professional, Michael Weiss, finished 4th overall in the 18th edition of Ironman Austria. The native Lower Austrian completed the 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile marathon run in 8:14:45 hours.
Weiss was the first Austrian across the line and his 4th place KPR points brought him a huge step closer to qualifying for the World Championships in Kona this October. "The biggest challenge of the day was not to give up."
The canon blasted at 6:40am signaling the professional men's field to begin the 2.4 mile swim in the crystal clear Wörthersee. 56:16 minutes later Michael exited the water, only a little more than three minutes behind the fastest swimmers. "That was certainly my best swim, I felt sensational."
Once on the bike, Michael powered his way to fourth position. "I was able to successfully execute my race tactics today and delivered a strong, well-paced bike performance." He completed the 112 mile course in 4:21:04, the second fastest bike split of the day, aboard his Diamondback Serios.
On the run Michael quickly overtook Anthony Costes of France followed by Paul Reitmayr and had his sights set on race leader, Marino Vanhoenacker. However, after 7.5 miles, Michael began to physically struggle and was now able to hold off Viktor Zyemtsev of Ukraine and the Italian Alessandro Degasperi. "The last 30 kilometers were a constant struggle. The biggest challenge was not to give up and quit."
Michael fought hard to hold fourth place and crossed the line in 8:14:45 hours. Although he desperately wanted to see the podium this year he was certainly proud of earning the Austrian National title and solidifying his spot in Hawaii at the World Championships.
"This is a much appreciated acknowledgment of the hard work in recent years. Sadly, I was very disappointed to miss the flower ceremony. When the Austrian anthem was played, I was in the Medical Tent. That hurt."
Weiss was cleared from the Medical Tent and looks forward to celebrating the performance with friends and family at the Awards Ceremony. His next race, XTERRA Beaver Creek, takes place in 3 weeks and will likely be his qualifier for the XTERRA World Championships in late October.

You know what the funniest thing about the last blog post I had was? I know you're thinking to yourself, "But J, that blog was awesome in it's entirety. Hilarious bro. How could I possibly pick a funniest thing, yo? It was simply killer diller (have you ever noticed that when I talk for you, you sound an awful lot like me? Stop copying me.
I know it's been a while (it seems like I always kinda start out that way, doesn't it?). I realize, that for many of you, the shakes may have subsided, and who knows, maybe you've already kicked me. Wait a minute... kicked me? Hmph, dubious. I know you've been out there just counting the seconds until I post again.
Geetings junkies. Here's your junk for today: I was recently asked the question "If you had three wishes, what would they be?". My incredibly smartass (shocking no?) response was that if I had three wishes, I'd only need one. That was it. No further explanation given. It was not well received, but you know me, I just laughed it off.
Greetings and salutations (in your head, you need to hear that like Christian Slater from "Heathers". I do a wicked Christian Slater. Here, listen to this "Why's everybody say that I'm trying to sound like Jack Nicholson? That's ridiculous. I mean, this is the way I talk." Well, what do ya think? Pretty good huh?).
First, let me start off by welcoming members of my wife's AP class. Welcome kids. They've stopped by to check out the pictures Shelley had me post for them (assuming they didn't stop by before I posted this blog, which they probably did, because Shelley asked me to do this on Friday and well...). To get to them ( the pictures, young people - "young people", how deliciously condescending.
There it is. The longest title I've had for one of these things yet. We'll see how this goes. I'm writing this at work (I mean, no I'm not). I'm doing something completely tedious and uninteresting, and I find myself constantly taking little breaks (ah, who am I kidding? I constantly take little breaks even when what I'm doing is interesting.

Bet in-play on the next goalscorer market (First, Second, Third Goalscorer etc) and if it wins and he scores another we’ll pay out at double the odds, if he scores a third after that we’ll pay at treble the odds.
FB4A Strategy: Place a pre match Double Delight & Hat-Trick Heaven First Goalscorer bet at BETFRED or TOTESPORT (or both). Lay selection in normal mode. If your selection goes on to score the first goal and then score an additional goal you will then get double winnings at the bookmaker and treble winnings if he scores a hat trick.

A bright pink, intensely flavored red cabbage sauerkraut recipe from Autumn Giles' Beyond Canning, New Techniques, Ingredients, and flavors to Preserve, Pickle, and Ferment Like Never Before.
In a large glass bowl, combine cabbage, daikon, beets, ginger, and sea salt.
Use your hands to stir ingredients together, then work salt into produce using your hands for about 2 minutes. If you've ever "massaged" kale for a salad, that's the motion you want to employ here. In slightly less technical terms, it's basically smooshing. The vegetables will begin releasing their liquid.
Use your hands to pack the produce tightly into a quart mason jar, one handful at a time.
One produce is packed in the jar, push it down with your fist, the back of a wooden spoon, or both, a few times.
Now produce should be just about covered in its own brine.

Although Clinessa masqueraded as a prolific author, her oeuvre consisted of two articles in the local pennysaver and a paragraph in a watch ad.
The sum of the lifework of an artist, writer, or composer.

Bosse Productions produced this look at the Winters High School 2011 production Treasure Island, directed by teacher Gina Johnson.
A Vincent Price classic in which a scientist finds himself the last man on earth, in a world filled with "vampire zombies."
The second part of the Season Finale! Tensions between the Hunters has hit a critical point, even though the Authorities claim to have the situation under control. Meanwhile, a radical group of terrorists have taken control of an enormous chemical storage facility on Long Island, NY. How will these events unfold? And what will it mean to the survival of everyone??
An uneasy alliance with a scientist who claims she's found a "cure" for the Zombie plague once again brings the Hunters back together, this time with several others. John has made contact with a group similar to theirs from the Bronx, run by a woman named Tequila Mockingbird. Tequila sends Gabby, her second-in-command, to check out the group from Queens and find out what she can about the rumors of this "cure".
The weeks of nightly killings, ending with events of Episode 5, affect each of the Hunters in a different way. Carrie decides to confront her fears by learning how to defend herself. Bates takes it almost in stride, seeing himself becoming a bit of a hero. John wants answers from the people he's trusted. And Billy tries to turn to the solace he once found in his church. Will any of them find the answers they seek?
After bringing the wounded Joey to the makeshift infirmary run by Dr. Kaufman and Carrie, Billy and Bates arm themselves and head to the militia group's compound. Just intending to steal whatever they could, when they find the place filled with more members of the group they decide to enact some revenge. Things quickly escalate faster and further than either of them ever thought possible, and when the smoke clears they discover some disturbing truths about the militia.
What will out heroes do? To what extremes will they go? And what fate lies in store for Joey?
Billy and Bates' long-time acquaintance, Joey "Douchebag" Kincaid, is released from prison early and asks to be a part of the Death Squad. Billy reluctantly agrees, and the three of them make a plan to meet with the gun dealers John has met. Unfortunately, the night before, Billy learns that the Mako Staple factory, the only place he's worked since failing out of college, has burned to the ground. He unloads the guns, and pours himself into a bottle of scotch.
A few weeks go by and the Hunters are mostly unable to access new weapons and ammunition in NYC. While John goes out a tries to make contact with underworld gun dealers, Bates turns to a former co-worker of his, a disgraced postal carrier named "Smoothie". This man agrees to sell the hunters the extra weapons he's amassed over the years, and the Team is finally geared up with something other than a handful of bullets.

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.
One of the biggest struggles I see college students facing is trust in God. Most of them don’t know what they’ll be doing after they graduate (or even at the end of the semester!). They also question who they will marry (or if they will marry), how they will get by financially, etc. While my career is planned out for the next three years (though subject to the will of God), I have many other questions about my future. It’s hard to shake off doubts about who God is and whether or not He is faithful to take care of me.
What v. 16 points out is that much of these struggles and doubts are due not just to our own lack of faith but to the devil as well. He takes full advantage of our weakness, and he would love nothing more than to see us crippled by worry and fear. From the beginning, he has asked us to question, “Did God actually say…?” (Genesis 3:1).
It’s my birthday today. I’m 23 years old now, and I’m just beginning to realize how much I need to learn to follow God. Today, I’m praying that God will teach me to trust Him as I look forward to the rest of my life. Whether I die tomorrow or when I’m 80, God will always be guiding me, and I can count on Him to pour out His grace on me.

Rajasthani implies from the state of Rajasthan – an Indian province well known far and wide for its Rajputana heroism, controversial Jauhar, ferocious desert and mouth-watering food. What I am going to concentrate in this photo blog is its FOOD, devoured, during a recent visit to twin cities of Jodhpur and Jaisalmer.
In sync with the norms, the food of Rajasthan is largely influenced by the climate, culture and availability. The dishes use local produce in abundance, can be consumed without re-heating, are mostly milk based products and loaded with a big dose of Ghee to make up for the paucity of water.
Our first stop was Mishrilal at Sadr bazaar Jodhpur.
A small outlet at the entrance to Clock Tower, it boasts of a small seating place, good service and lip smacking Makhaniya Lassi – a sweetened yogurt based drink.
Supposed to be sipped, it’s so thick that you need a spoon to consume it.
There is an ice box kept on every table to be used with lassi as and when required. Please note, that ice is a luxury in this city and I could see that locals never stopped using dollops of it to keep them cool.
When it comes to snacks of Jodhpur, the first item which strikes is – Mirchi Vada – a deep-fried spicy Indian snack with chilly and potato stuffing and coated with besan (gramflour).
You might not have the time or energy to visit all food joints – so try to club, to ensure things get ticked off your bucket list soon. In our case 2 were done.
Make no mistakes. This is Ghee, not oil. The food was super tasty and we finished all, in no time. Here we also got to taste “garlic chutney” – another first for SB and a bonus for me.
Well if Jodhpur streets gave us a taste of local authenticity, Haveli Inn made us experience the royalty in style.
Done with Jodhpur and still a big To-Eat list. we started our bus journey to Jaisalmer. On the way, had Moong Dal Vada – another Indian snack which is a haven for hungry souls.
Once in Jaisamler, our savior was Chandan Shree Bhojanalay – a place where you get authentic Rajasthani meals with a pocket friendly tag.
Here I had Dal Baati Churma – the most famous Rajasthani dish – or to say the gourmet identity of Rajasthan.
The place is neat and clean and the food is served with simplicity and love. It runs on unlimited meal concept and you can eat to your heart’s content in a nominal amount.
Apart from the fancy , there is a plain Rajasthani Thali which makes you instantly feel at home.
Jaisalmer’s love for food is visible in the Patwaon Ki haveli museum as well.
The museum also showcases the traditional Rajasthani style of eating – low seats and huge copper vessels. They make you feel closer to earth and infuse a humility while you satisfy your hunger – the most pressing human need.
Rajasthan has its share of non veg food owing to Rajputana’s inclination towards meat. So if you are a hard-core non-vegetarian don’t miss the laal maas at Trio, Gaandhi Chowk. As for me, the tummy was happy with the awesome vegetarian meal they offered.
On the way back to Jodhpur, we finally ate Pyaaz Kachori – a fried pastry filled with a spicy onion filling.
Just to summarize – Your culinary journey in Rajasthan is incomplete withou Mirchi Vada , Pyaaz Kachori, Daal baati Churma, Makhaniya Lassi, Gulab Jamun ki Sabji, Lehsun or Garlic Chutney, Laal Maas and the “Indian Masala Chai” .
I never miss an opportunity to drink a cup as it always rejuvenate me and charges up my soul for the next lag.
What’s your idea of refreshment ? Tea or did I just hear Beer ?

Once upon a time, a homeless man would eat lunch with us and later, when he left the Kitchen, promptly begin talking to a wall. We asked him why? He simply said, "If they think I'm crazy, they leave me alone." A strategy for surviving the streets: what are the strategies that we employ for surviving our homes and relationships, for surviving our work and disappointments, and for surviving the final surety of our last breath?
Power will continue its rapacious pursuit of profit and privilege: corporations and billionaires solidify their grip upon the rotting corpse of Greed: to what great end? There is nothing in nothingness: they will finally get their fill! But what about us? What about our hurts and disappointments? There is only the way of abandonment: you've got to travel light to become the Light! Forgetfulness is useful in order to remember! Our choice to remember "we have been created by Love, for Love, to become Love" is our pass-card: "Welcome home!"
Longing is their Glory Song.
Longing is really the One Song.
4) Can you smell the chocolate cooking?
But longing is still the Only Song.
And the longing of both is to sing This Song.
In the surrender and collapse of Love?
Finally, "being wanted" requires the mutuality of "surrender": certainly not the "quit" that readily comes to mind. But rather, the re-creation spirituality of "I am You, and You are Me"... The refusal to stand any longer in the duality of every apparent separation is key: this "not two, not two" is the beginning which eventually extends all the way into "I am You and You are Me, and We are All Together: One"... To this Great Unity, this Oneness, we surrender our separation: we are wonderfully wanted! It is only now that we can truly affirm with Simone Weil, "We were created by Love, for Love, to become Love."

LD50 (acute oral) in rats: >2000 mg/kg for the a.i.
LD50 (acute dermal) in rats: >2000 mg/kg for the a.i.
Suspected poisoning? Read the article on flumethrin safety in this site.
Flumethrin and all synthetic pyrethroids (e.g. cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, etc.) are extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not contaminate dams, streams or waterways with product or used containers. Store original container, tightly closed in a safe place under lock and key.
So far there are no reports on resistance of Haemaphysalis ticks to synthetic pyrethroids or other tickicides.
GENERIC BRANDS available? Yes, in some countries. This product itself contains generic flumethrin.
FLUMENIL Pour-on for Cattle & Deer from VIRBAC is a classic livestock tickicide containing generic flumethrin.
Flumethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid introduced by BAYER in the 1970s. It is probably the best synthetic pyrethroid against ticks, but less effective against biting flies than other synthetic pyrethroids (e.g. cypermethrin, deltamethrin, etc.). It is still used in many countries (e.g. in Latin America), but the pour-on formulation was withdrawn from the Australian market in the early 2002's because of potential issues with flumethrin residues in beef for export to the USA. Until cattle ticks (Boophilus microplus) resistance to flumethrin became widespread, it was probably the world leading tickicide for cattle. Nowadays it remains a very appreciated product where resistance of cattle ticks is not an issue. It is used mainly in cattle and also in dogs.
All pour-ons containing contact insecticides such as synthetic pyrethroids have the same weakness: they are applied on the back of the animal and spread more or less quickly along the hair coat to other parts of the body, but coverage is usually not homogeneous and some parts of the body are not or only poorly reached. How fast and complete the spreading is depends on a lot of factors (e.g. distance to the delivery point, rain, animal behavior such as grooming, licking, rubbing, etc.) but also on the inert ingredients in the formulation, which may or may not favor spreading. In any case, compared with the backline the concentration of the active ingredient will be significantly lower in body parts that are difficult to reach (e.g. udders, perineum, below the tail, inside the ears, etc), where some parasites may survive because the concentration is not high enough to kill them.
It is useful to know that the active ingredients of many synthetic pyrethroids consist in a mixture of various optical isomers, typically those called "cis", and those called "trans". Flumethrin also consists of a mixture of various optic isomers, but all commercial products contain the same mixture, i.e. this makes no difference in the product quality or efficacy.

Today was a travel day, but it was a short travel day: the flight from Tucson to San Diego takes just an hour. It took longer to make the drive up from Sierra Vista to Tucson airport.
And what a lovely little airport it is. When we showed up, we were literally the only people checking in and the only people going through security. After security is a calm oasis, free of the distracting TV screens that plague most other airports. Also, it has free WiFi, which was most welcome. I’m relying on WiFi, not 3G, to go online on this trip.
If you do that, and you normally use iMessage, make sure to switch iMessage off. Otherwise if someone with an iPhone in the States sends you an SMS, you won’t get it until the next time you connect to a WiFi network. I learned this the hard way: it happened to me twice on this trip before I realised what was going on.
I use Google Maps rather than Apple Maps. It turns out you can get offline maps on iOS (something that’s been available on Android for quite some time). Open the Google Maps app while you’re still connected to a WiFi network; navigate so that the area you want to save is on the screen; type “ok maps” into the search bar; now that map is saved and zoomable for offline browsing.

What does it mean to have a BARD1 gene mutation?
Women with mutations in the BARD1 gene have an increased risk for breast cancer. Researchers have only recently learned about BARD1-associated risk, so the exact increased risk is unknown.
At this time, we do not know of any cancer risks for men with BARD1 mutations.
What can be done to protect women with BARD1 mutations from cancer?
At this time, there are no standard recommendations for lowering the risk of breast cancer in women with mutations in BARD1. However, women with mutations in BARD1 can talk with their doctors and other healthcare providers about possible individualized recommendations, which may include starting breast screenings at younger ages, having breast screenings more frequently than typically recommended, or having breast MRIs as well as mammograms.
Additional details about BARD1 gene mutations, specific recommendations for medical care, and useful information for relatives are available within our Support Organizations pages.

I am sure many of us have been in the woods and noticed the choir like cacophony of crickets, birds, rattling leaves and other noises. Has it ever stopped, and you wonder what is going on? The silence can be deafening. Well, in that instance it could be that a predator is nearby and all of the lower members of the food chain go into silent mode so as not to become lunch.
Maybe you noticed the quiet that comes after a nice thick blanket of snow covers the environment. That too can create a calming hush upon the land. Of course, whether the silence comes from the noise makers quieting themselves or it is a product of sound dampening from the snow, these do not explain the physics at play during a UFO sighting.
What could possible account for this phenomena? I did a little research and discovered several possibilities.
Now, first we must acknowledge we do not “know” for a fact what physical forces UFOs use for propulsion or some other use. Likely, it is a technology we are not yet advanced enough to understand completely. But, if they are operating in our atmosphere they have to at least be playing by some of the known rules of physics.
It is known that magnetic fields, electric fields, or plasma fields can have an effect on sound waves or vice versa. If these are the forces displayed by UFOs, dampening could be an effect of their technology on sound itself. There may be changes in the pressure or density of the medium (air) that sound travels through, which could cause a change in the frequency resulting in a loss of our ability to hear the sound.
There may also be physiological effects from these fields on the human brain. Perhaps effecting our brains ability to process what we are hearing in a way that seems as though there is no sound at all. For example, when a traumatic event occurs people often feel time slow down, their whole life passes before them in an instant, and silence overtakes them. Maybe this is the explanation for the silence phenomena.
Whatever the cause, silence in a UFO event is a common occurrence. It is a form of physical evidence. The value of making a report, performing an investigation, documenting the results and sharing the data with others will hopefully lead to a better understanding of this phenomena.
They could alter the frequency sound of an engine and take it outside of the frequency’s that humans hear but animals can still hear it ?
Great article. I wonder if there is any correlation between experiencers who observe silence during CE, and those who experience human post-effects as described by Vallee-Davis? Either way, the observed silence is physical evidence of first order.
Have had lots of close encounters and visitors.

Markets are rallying after Tuesday's election, in which Democrats reclaimed control of the House, but the GOP retained the Senate. Ray Dalio, founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, gives us his outlook from the Web Summit in Lisbon. And Microsoft President Brad Smith joins us to discuss the relationship between A.I. and the government. Plus, Your Cheddar With @Ally, with personal finance tips from the pros.
Ray Dalio, founder and co-chairman of hedge fund giant Bridgewater Associates, talked to Cheddar's Alex Heath at the Web Summit 2018 in Lisbon. He said that while the Midterm elections may have spooked the markets in October, the real drama is still to come in 2020, during the presidential race.
Microsoft says more must be done to slow the magnitude and speed of the world's environmental changes. In an effort to combat the issue, the company is increasing its efforts to meet its sustainability goals. Lucas Joppa, Microsoft's chief environmental officer, talked to Cheddar about why the tech giant is taking such a notable stance on what can be a controversial issue.

Usuthu are exuding confidence after registering their second league win of the season when they defeated the defending champions Bidvest Wits 3-0 at home on Wednesday.
Rhulani Manzini (Brace) and Michael Morton netted for AmaZulu, who are placed seventh on the league log with seven points from five games. They are only a point behind fourth-placed Kaizer Chiefs.
Meanwhile, Stars recorded their fourth league defeat of the season when they lost 1-0 to Lamontville Golden Arrows at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Wednesday.
As a result, Dikwena, who are still winless this season, are placed 16th on the league standings with one point from five games. They are three points behind 14th-placed Polokwane City.
AmaZulu: S.Mbatha, M.Gumede, Mtsweni, Nyongo, Ouro-Akoriko, Ncube, Mnguni, S.DlaminI, Ncobeni, Cele, Manzini.
Platinum Stars: Mzimela, Ntuli, Jongh, Mere, Zulu, Mlilo, Mwedihanga, Ng'ambi, Mkhabela, Mbatha, Shilongo.
"Well, it's going to be a tough match because Stars are still winless this season and they will want record their first win against us," he said.
"So, we should not underestimate them. We need to continue with the same mentality that we had against Wits and work hard for a victory on Saturday.
"We are looking forward to this match and we believe that if we take our chances we will definitely beat them."
"We are expecting a difficult match because AmaZulu are coming off a victory over Wits. I think they were fantastic against Wits on Wednesday," he said.
"They are a good team and they have made some good signings. They also have a good coach in Cavin Johnson, who has done well with team.
"This will be our fourth game within a short period of time and the team has been struggling. But we will be ready for the challenge."
Tapelo Nyongo: The central defender is an inspirational leader in the AmaZulu defence and he was instrumental for his side against Bidvest Wits. The AmaZulu captain will be looking to ensure that his side keep another clean sheet when they host Stars.
Rhulani Manzini: The hard-working striker opened his scoring account for AmaZulu when he grabbed a brace in midweek. The former Platinum Stars marksman will be eager to haunt his former side and help Usuthu record their second consecutive league win.
Enocent Mkhabela: The central midfielder is the shield in front of the Stars defence and a key member of the team. The former Kaizer Chiefs player will be keen to play an important role and help Dikwena register in their first league win of the season in Durban.
Sibongakonke Mbatha: The teenage midfielder is slowly establishing himself as a key player for Stars - having scooped the Man of the Match accolade against Chippa United. The attacking midfielder will be hoping to inspire his side to victory over Usuthu.

I think photography is one of the sweetest and most personal gifts you can purchase for someone you love. An artful portrait session isn't a gift you see coming. It's not always something a friend or a sister will splurge and buy for herself, and it's a gift that gives and gives for generations.
Lucky for us, this is exactly how we met Stacy & Blake!
Four years ago, Kent & Carolyn Photography held a facebook contest for a free family session. Stacy's sister, Rachel, was a contestant. She tried her heart out to get that session for her family, which at the time, consisted of herself, her husband, and her two sons. When she didn't win, her best friend from Texas contacted us privately and asked if she could purchase the session for Rachel as a gift. Of course, we said, "Yes!". Since then, Rachel's family has found itself a special place in our hearts, and we have watched them welcome two more children into the world. So, you can imagine how absolutely delighted we were when Rachel asked us if she could gift an engagement session to her lovely sister, who would be traveling in from Georgia to greet the arrival of baby number four. We are honored to be able to document another exciting change in their family!
We clicked with Stacy & Blake right away! They are outgoing, sweet, and genuine. The first thing we noticed about them is the way they look at each other. I'm pretty sure all of my favorite shots from their session have them facing each other because that's when they seemed to give the best smiles and most comfortable facial expressions. That's love!!
After a little while of walking to some of our favorite shooting spots in downtown Springfield, MO, we needed a break and a some place to warm up. First, we stopped by the Mud House and picked up a few delicious, warm drinks. Then, we walked over to check out the renovations to the newly re-opened Hotel Vandivort.
Thank you, Hotel Vandivort, for your hospitality!
And thank you, Stacy & Blake for a lovely January afternoon! We hope you enjoyed your trip to the Ozarks! We just know your wedding day is going to be as amazing as you are, and we wish you many, many years of love and laughter!

TELL US HOW YOU PLAY IT FORWARD!
Post your story here (at the bottom of this page) and share how you played it forward and made someone else’s day!
All comments will be entered in a draw at the end of the Canadian tour for the chance to win an iPad!
Thanks for participating and keep on playing it forward!
Loved seeing you at our school, Drumlin Heights in Nova Scotia! I used the $75.00 Play It Forward award money to purchase board games for our class to play on days when the weather is bad or we have fee time. I loved being able to make everyone in my class happier. I love your message and your music. Keep on keeping on.
I am writing on behalf of Erin Shirley, a student in my Gr.3 class at Rothwell-Osnabruck School in Ingleside, Ont. Erin was nominated as one of our school champions at your concert and received the $75 Play it Forward cheque. Before I tell you what Erin used her $75 for, I would like to give you a little background on the cause that inspired her! Nick and Stephanie Grady, both teachers…(Nick currently at R.O. and Stephanie, a past R.O. teacher now staffed at St.Lawrence Int. School). Here is Stephanie’s story…..
A year ago Stephanie ran a half marathon.
After some lung trouble during her third pregnancy, Doctors assumed she had bronchitis, pregnancy induced asthma, pneumonia and then a cyst.
After 18 X-Rays, 4 MRI’s, 4 CAT Scans, 1 PET Scan, 2 Bone Scans, 2 Blood Transfusions, 3 Surgeries (including a full lung removal and partial pericardial replacement at the initial diagnosis of lung cancer) and 3 doses of chemo, it has recently been discovered that Stephanie has a very rare and extremely aggressive form of cancer called NUT Midline Carcinoma. This cancer is a genetic mutation, which plants originating tumours along the midline centres of the body. Since diagnosis, this cancer has metastasized through her hips, pelvis, femur, sternum, arm and clavicle.
Most often terminal, Stephanie was told that this cancer is “incurable” and given a certain number of months to live. Since chemotherapy does not work on this type of cancer, Doctors stopped it. Instead, she was offered palliative radiation for the pain in her hips and back.
The good news is there is a new drug called BET Inhibitor that has been shown to shrink, and even stop, tumour growth on human tissue. The first clinical trial began January 2014 in various centres in the United States. Stephanie is now eligible to receive a series of drug trial treatments at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, in collaboration with the NUT Midline Carcinoma Institute at Harvard University. Although the date is still to be determined, Stephanie will be travelling to the USA in the near future to receive multiple doses of hope.
That said, the travel, tests, and treatments will be catastrophic– and we can’t do it without your help.
Please join Team Grady, and DIG DEEP to help Stephanie and her family in their battle against NUT Midline Carcinoma.
This is how Erin helped…. she $75 to purchase enough pancake mix, syrup, utensils and plates to have a pancake breakfast for her K-12 school. Students paid $4.00 for 2 pancakes and a juice. Staff at R.O. helped by making enough pancakes to fulfill all of the orders. The results were outstanding….Erin’s $75 generated $1041.35 to be donated to Team Grady!
Of course I enjoyed your concert – always do. You’re a wonderful young lady.
I gave one card to the Secretary at Alexander Forbes School here in GP and the other to the owner of a large corporation here in town.
I had four gift cards to give to people around me.
card 2- I gave to my mother just because I love her and she is always giving to others.
card 3- I gave to my chiropractor for helping me feel better.
card 4- I gave the other to the mail man since he freezes everyday to bring me my Christmas cards from my family.
Thanks so much for your show at Dalewood Public School in St. Catharines, Ontario. My grade 4 students were so excited to show me their autographs etc. I gave your Tim Hortons card to my daughter to give to her choir teacher. Mrs. Hay spent many breaks and lunchtimes practising with the students. My daughter got to sing in a trio and was thrilled, and it’s people like Mrs. Hay who make school extra enjoyable for kids!
Hi, I went to Tim Horton drive true in Casselman, the woman before me paid for my order and gave me the card Play it forward I was amaze by this. I did the same thing the day after. Very good idea.
I passed on my Pay it Forward gift card onto a colleague at work. She is a dedicated hard-working person who focuses her day on helping children. She needed a pick me up to cope with family issues. I hope this helps.
Thank you so much for the concert at our school in Aqsarniit Middle School in Iqaluit,Nunavut. You taught our school a wonderful lesson and I thank you and the “Play it forward” members too! You inspired many of us to always do what we love to do and to stay strong.
My friend Kelly, gave me the Tim Hortons Card but instead for keeping it to myself I decided to give it to someone else.
I gave the card to man on the street that was just playing his guitar to earn money, he used his hat to fill it in for money but all I saw was 3 quarters,5 pennies and 1 dime.
His music was so wonderful that I decided to give the card to him so he would be able to afford some food.
He thanked me many times and I found out I just made someone’s day just by giving a card.
Thank you so much Tenille you are my Inspiration!
Good Luck on the rest of your tour and a very-very-very early “Merry Christmas” to you Tenille!
Thank you so much for the concert at our school in Aqsarniit Middle School. You taught our school a wonderful lesson and I thank you and the play it forward members too!
My parents are teaching me how to give… and share. I am learning that the smiles on someone’s face is a great reward. My mom and I went through all my clothing and toys to make up a bag to donate to families in need. My mom always helps everyone that she can and is always giving what ever she is able to. I am learning this as well.
Hi Tenille. Thank you for the gift cards on Sunday as you left for Iqaluit. I used one to buy coffee for the guy that was behind getting everything organized for your flight and the other I gave to an old high school friend who I happened to run into at the airport. You guys are doing an amazing job on your tour. I wish you were doing a stop at my kids school here in Stittsville. Keep up the great work and enjoy the north.
Hi Tenille! Thanks so much for an amazing concert and message you gave at Rothwell Osnabruck School in Ingleside, Ontario. It was very Inspirational!
I have given my “play it forward” gift card to my daughter, my inspiration. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in August 2012. Since that life changing day we got the news, she has been a very strong, amazing 11 year old girl who gets through everyday with a smile even though she struggles with daily needles, blood sugar level highs and lows!
She is always thinking and ready and willing to help out other people. Right now she is wrapping lifesaver packs and selling them to raise money for the Canaadian Diabetes Association. I am very proud of her!
Thanks for reading my “pay it forward” story!
I play it forward by helping fiends in need or when they get hurt. I am always looking out of others. I am only 6 years old. I help my mom around the house by doing the vacuuming and making my bed. Loved the show at my school R.O. in Ingleside. Thanks abunch.
It was great to meet you. Thanks for the gift cards to give away. I gave them to my daughter’s preschool teachers, and a very special nursery worker at our church.
Hope it made their day. Thanks again.
Hey Tenille . I play it forward because of Tanner he is guy that give me a friend when i need one. He give me a voice. I know he will always be there when I need a friend.Wish their were more people like him.
I received the “Play it Forward” card doing an air guitar solo. I then played the card forward to my former teacher who was the first teacher to make me feel like i was smart, and he loves cookies so i thought the card would be great for him. If i win the iPad i’m not actually going to keep it. This is because i already have an iPad but i know my sister was jealous that i got one but was not rude about. If i won the iPad i would definitely give it to my amazing sister.
As staff in an elementary & junior high school, I see all kinds of activity all day long in our hallways and classrooms. Our wonderful caretaker is always there with a helping hand and a smile whenever needed. I felt the least I could do to show my appreciation for his hard work and dedication to our students was play it forward with my Tim’s card.
i Inspired people in my class to practice kindness and pass it on to others. What goes around comes around – and with kindness it really does. it shows that being kind to others increases our own levels of happiness as well as theirs. Doing kind things for strangers helps build co-operation, trust and a sense of safety in our communities. So if you want to feel good, do good!
Leadership is based on a spiritual quality; the power to inspire, the power to inspire others to follow. i love to be a leader i like that you can teach other to be kind and respect others.
thanks Tenille for the great performence and your speachs realy inspired me to do good things and be a leader and to do what i love best.
Hi Tenille, your presentation really inspired me to reach out in my community. I chose to play it forward by taking my class to a retirement home to entertain them for an hour. I am a competitive dancer and am trying to bring some of my dance friends with me, and there are some vocal talent in my class as well. Together we will provide the residence with a fun filled afternoon of entertainment. And thats how I plan on playing it forward. Thank you so much for the opportunity.
I helped my friend she was going through a tough time.
I truly care about people and enjoy making someone smile. I think that doing a nice thing without expecting anything in return is so awesome! It really gives you a great feeling Doing kind things for strangers helps build co-operation, trust and a sense of safety in our communities. there are .big things you can do for other people.
I played it forward to my bus driver she deserved it because she put up with me on my bad days when I was really annoying. Thanks tenille before I heard your songs I hated country/pop now I love it it’s all I listen to thanks for coming to. Y school you are the most inspirational person I know once again thank you.
Hi Tenille 🙂 When you came to my school I loved how you were positive thinking and how you carry your leadership so responsibly and that inspired me a lot! I gave the Tim Hortons card you gave me to my leader in camp because i think she is just like you with so many good qualitys especially in leadership!
Hi Tenille you really inspired me to do the things I want to do instead of people telling what to do. I played it forward by going to watch my sisters basketball game because most of the time I’m at my basketball games and I never get to see her play a lot.
Hi Tenille, This morning I snuck into Drumlin Height school to watch my daughter (Scotia) receive her “Play it Forward” award. I then heard from Scotias grandmother that she met you in the grocery store and totally freaked out, lol. Scotia is very musical and is just aching for the day when she can actually get her wee hands around the neck of an electric guitar so I can teach her how to play Joan Jet songs and I suppose now your songs as well haha. Your show was fantastic and you have inspired my daughter in a massive way and for that I thank you. I will definitely play it forward soon and often on your behalf.
I played the card you gave me as a teacher at St. John’s school at the end of your concert. She sat with one of our special needs students throughout the concert. I’m sure she would have loved to have sung along with her friends at the concert, but she laughed and inspired a 7 year old little boy so he could enjoy the concert too. He was sitting and leaning all over her and she was so patient with him. For this reason, I played it forward to her!
Hi Tenille my name is Melanie Holloway and i would like to say how much i enjoyed your presentation at my school. I was so honoured to win the $ 75.00’s i havent gotten it in the mail but i am very excited to play it forward in my school.
Your concert was really good today first of all.
On October 3, thirty high scoohl students from Mount Si’s Key Club visited the homes of two elderly folks in North Bend. Armed with gloves, garden tools, and determination ..they set out to offer assistance to these homeowners where the labor had simply become too big an obstacle. The students split and stacked firewood, trimmed overgrown bushes and hedges, brought garden beds back to objects of beauty, raked leaves, and filled an enormous trailer with discarded and rotting lumber that was taken to the dump. The best part of this endeavor was the smiles and hugs given by the homeowners to these high scoohl Key Clubbers. That so many showed up at their homes to Pay it Forward was overwhelming and one of the most heart-warming experiences I have seen. Way to go Mount Si Key Club!
My name is Emma from Killaloe and I try to play it forward by making mom and dad proud everyday by doing the little things. I try and be the best person I can be. By being my true self and not being what people want me to be. I don’t let all the negative get to me and try and spread the positive to anyone having a bad day. I help in the kindergarten class everyday and I like to visit with the seniors where my Grandma works. They love having kids around.
First I want to say I was blown away by the enthusiasm and motivational messages my students and I were given today by Tenille’s performance. I am inspired! I used the Tim Horton’s Play It Forward Gift Certificate to one of my Grade One Students by the name of Meliah. Another student in the class felt sad and expressed that he felt “left out'” because he forgot to dress up in Country & Western Gear to support the concert. Meliah took it upon herself to colour a star, cut it out and taped it to the boys shirt. “There now you’re a Sheriff”.
I chose Mrs. Holland because I thought it was cool how she could help people who are disabled and could help kids at the same time and how she was always happy she put a smile on every one have a smile on her face she had time for everyone she treated everyone the same that why I chose Mrs.Holland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all, you are amazing singer. I really love your music.
I have a ticket that is good until 3pm.
My mom and I came out of the hospital at 1pm, so we decided to give the ticket to someone else. The person I gave it to was so happy. It was really nice to get helped and then again help someone else.
Shoot for the Stars, Tenille.
Hi Tenille, thank you so much for the opportunity for being a part of the “Play it Forward Tour” by receiving the award. With the $75.00 I purchased 3 sets of Yamaha headphones for the Heart Of The City Piano Program. I chose the piano program at my school, because it was where I first started off in music. If it weren’t for the program I probably wouldn’t be playing piano. I have continued to play outside of the program by continuing with other lessons. I wanted to give others in my school the opportunity to be in the program. By purchasing headphones for the program, it gives other students the opportunity to play piano even if they are shy or scared to play in front of others. Best of luck with your career as a musician!
My name is Colby and I’m in Jody Bialowas’ Grade 6 class at Muriel Martin Elementary. You came to our school in April and I was honoured to receive your leadership award. I recently received the $75 to play it forward within our school. Throughout the school year, my Grade 6 class has been partnered with a Grade 2 class for cross-age activities. I decided to play it forward by inviting the Grade 2 class to come and have a fun afternoon doing activities outside with our Grade 6 class. Afterwards we had ice cream bars from Dairy Queen. I feel this gave the Grade 6 class a chance to say goodbye to our Grade 2 friends before we leave for Junior High at the end of June. Also I hope it will encourage the Grade 2’s to play it forward one day with younger students. Thank you again for coming to our school and performing for our mini We Day celebration. You were awesome and it was great to meet you.
Tenille i would like to thank u again and ever sence your incredibale consert you made me feel better about doing soccer,karate,piano,sing,taking to my enamy,listen to music,i have 100 more but i dont want to take up your time. evry day before school i think of what you said at the consert and think of how i can help my friends and make our classroom a safer place for me, my friends and my teacher. I am so sorry for the long paragraph i just love to talk!!!
thank you for coming to our school!!!!
once school was over and i got home i realized that you inspired me to do what i do best and that is write songs. I am still working on the song, but i just want to thank you to inspire me to do what i love thx!!!!
My teacher gave me a Tim hortons gift card after you came to my school because I raised money to adopt a lemur. I’m raising money for dolphins now. I loved your show!
Hi again,i just wrote but,i have 1 more thing to say, every day every recess i come in and take care of the little kids in the kindergarden room.Thats all, I’LL KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tenille, i just saw you today at st.michael.The way i play it forward is i entered a talent show and the prize is $1000,$100,$500,and more.I want to win the money to help our school with the gym.Also i have a baking club and we raise money to give to sick kids.Also i’m giving most of my b-day money to my mom to get a pedicure.U ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey tenille you inspired me to be my self i youste to try to be all cool but you inspired me to be myself i gave my gift card to one of my best friend micheal he curs my bordness witch means whenever im board he allways hangs out with me and curs my boardness thank you so much tenille you really inspired me.
Today when you came to my school you said ” play it forward” I took that advice and helped my teacher that I help and I said ” go eat I got it under control”. So she did and me and Sarah helped like we never did before that’s my story what’s yours?
it Forward School tour. I think this is a great thing and I played it forward by giving my card to a special lady, who single handed arranged a concert of local talent. The proceeds of this concert were split between the Food Bank and 3 children whose mother had passed away earlier. I think this woman is amazing and she continues to do this type of charitable work.
Thank you for coming to our school. I recieved one of the Tenille Tim Horton’s card to play it forward. At our school we get bread donations every week from our local Cob’s breads. When I went to pick up the delivery the worker there wanted to give our kids some thing special so he gave us enough scones and croissants to feed our kids a special treat for two school days! So the next week when I returned I gave him the play it forward tim’s card to give a small return for what he did for us already! Thanks for coming to our school! We cannot wait to see how our kids play it forward too!
Today I gave a kid a pencil to use for school.
Today at my school I picked up all the left shoes and clothing and put them into a basket so the janitor wont have to pick it up and I also did it so there clothing wont be laying on the floor that’s dirty.
I organized We Day Muriel Martin school and was blessed to have Tenille join us to share her inspiration. I played the Tim Horton card forward to my daughter’s 12 year old friend and her mom On the 1 year anniversary of her dad’s/ husband’s passing.
Mr. Morrison received St. Albert’s first Good Neighbor award after he passed away. He was recognized for reaching out to others and paying it forward even when he was battling illness.
Enjoy your tour and keep up hte great work….I hope this catches on and people keep playing it forward!!
I got home from work yesterday aofernton and mowed the lawn and blew leaves before the rain came today. After I mowed my lawn, I went next door to my neighbors house and mowed his lawn and blew the leaves off his property. I slipped a pay it forward card under his door mat when I was finished. He came over and thanked me for what I’d done, and also asked me about pay it forward. I often do things for other people, but yesterday it felt a little different because it gave me the opportunity to tell him about paying it forward; also in hopes that it would have a chain reaction and many lives would be effected by such a positive and simple notion of paying it forward .
Tenille inspired me! I was always trying to be someone people wanted to me to be, I wasn’t being me. Tenille taught me to do that, with the money I got from Tenille I gave it to the art program. I love art and I’m good at it! Thank-you so much Tenille your my hero!

Microsoft, which has said for months that it fields the best enterprise search, is spending another billion to bolster that claim.
The company is buying Fast Search & Transfer ASA, an Oslo-based provider of enterprise search technology, for about $1.2 billion. The deal is expected to close in the second calendar quarter of 2008.
The addition of Fast's technologies will give developers a richer toolset with which to deliver specific and customizable searches, executives from both companies told reporters and analysts on Tuesday.
There is a "desire to have a more sophisticated development platform, to pivot searches off of different data elements," said Jeff Raikes, president of Microsoft's Business Division, on the call.
"If you're on Best Buy looking at plasma TVs you may want to refine your search by screen size or resolution or other elements. One of the things Fast has done well is develop platform capabilities that allow our customers to have a wide range of domain-specific searches. And Fast deals in very, very high volumes. What Fast has done in scalability and sophistication of their development platform is a great compliment to what we do in the core with Share Point."
John Lervik, CEO of Fast, concurred. "We see search becoming a platform. It's not just about documents and e-mails but also handling structured and numerical data in a unified manner. That's something we've worked on for seven or eight years. Also behavioral data. Not just connecting people to information but also to other people with expertise."
In that respect what Microsoft and Fast appear to be doing will contend not only with Internet search kingpin Google's push into the enterprise but with IBM's inside-the-firewall Omni Find expertise.
"We cannot go into detailed planning until we get through the regulatory period [but] absolutely we were excited about the great team, the expertise that Lervik and Fast R&D have. There were discussions about where there's relevance and the work we're doing in Web search but we have nothing to announce at this time," Raikes said.
Still, today's news sparked skepticism among pundits who say Microsoft tends to buy its way into key market when its own R&D efforts fail.
"Ever notice that Microsoft -- with cash to burn apparently -- waits for the obvious to become inevitable and then ends up paying huge premiums for companies in order to catch up to reality? We saw it with aQuantive, Softricity and Groove Networks," wrote Dana Gardner, principal of Inter-Arbor Solutions in his Briefings Direct blog.
Microsoft insiders say that the Fast offering, which already runs well on Sharepoint, will become the company's highest-end, most complete enterprise search option. The company already offers a free "Express" search, Search Server and SharePoint Search Server. Fast would run atop the last, a spokeswoman said.

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. It's going to be a busy one for us here, but we'll be making time to go do something fun, too — a movie at the local rep theatre. How about you?
Cosy Swedish style for you today that's perfect for a chilly late November. Love the warm wood and textiles against the white walls — just lovely.
Architecture for Dogs is the latest project of Kenya Hara, graphic designer for Muji. It gathers together top architects and industrial designers, who have created blueprints for a series of playful homes tailored to the specific breed of dog it's for. More photos here.
I'm very excited to introduce you to Good Cheer, a special guest blogger series running throughout the month of December. Keep an eye out over the next few weeks for some lovely special guests who'll be sharing their favourite things to make and do while entertaining over the holidays. And to get you in a festive mood — Cider Rum Punch from the gorgeous verses from my kitchen blog. Enjoy!
A beautifully simple still life, to add a little colour to your day.
Great interview with Grace Coddington, US Vogue's creative director, about her recently published memoirs. A must for anyone with an interest in fashion.
Peter over at the beautiful absinthemindedswede blog has put together another great playlist — this time a selection of albums for winter listening. Check out Gil Scott Heron and Brian Jackson, Kate Bush, Sigur Rós, Mazzy Star and John Coltrane among others.
I love the Urban Sketchers site — and recently the sketching group in Stockholm decided to go sketching at the IKEA just south of Stockholm, which also happens to be the biggest IKEA in the world. The link takes you to their drawings and what they thought about it, too.
Recently The Guardian asked some excellent authors to choose their books of the year. Their picks are intriguing, interesting, fascinating — and a great way to get ideas for holiday giving, too.
Inspiring video produced by Herman Miller, featuring the design duo behind hundreds of Muji’s no-brand products, discussing why and how they work — and how imperfection breeds good design.
Jenn over at the lovely Bits of Beauty blog recently participated in a fun project with a friend of hers — a video of people saying thank you in 30 different languages (that's Jenn at the end, saying it in Arabic). Conceived of and produced in just one day, it's a great tribute to the power of the internet, with people sending in their contributions from all over the world. They're now collecting clips for an expanded version of at least 100 languages, too — now's your chance to become a contributor!
An oldie but goodie — Daniel Craig and Catherine Tate fall in love for Comic Relief 2007. Hilarious.
A perfect winter lunch or light supper — warming, healthy and a stunning ruby colour, too.
Smitten again by the hauntingly lovely song Svefn-G-Englar by Sigur Rós — and the award winning video for it, too. Have a look here.
Mysterious and wintry loveliness for you today — model Shalom Harlow disappears into Comme des Garçons. Fashion as performance art.
Love this — the former home of photographer Kristin Perers, a converted furniture factory in London's Columbia Road market. So much to love here — she has an amazing eye. See more on her website, too.
Just finished this and loved it. Voltaire's Calligrapher by Pablo De Santis is an extraordinary mix of thriller, mystery, historical novel and the fantastic — all written in elegant (and slightly sinister) prose. Definitely recommended.
The first snowfall. It transforms the world outside into a place of softness, quiet and austere beauty.
I'm dealing with a rather nasty migraine at the moment so today's posts will be delayed — but rest assured I'll have something up for you as soon as I can. Thanks for your patience.
Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. We'll probably curled up indoors for much of it, catching up on movies and books while avoiding the chilly mix of rain and snow outside. How about you?
P.S. Love that huge photo of Brigitte Bardot on the wall!
Smitten by the striking wall of butterflies in the Philippe Starck-designed Papillon restaurant bar in Shanghai, the businessman owner of this Norwegian apartment asked interior designer Camilla Tangen to recreate the effect in his own home. Now it's the focal point of the entire space, adding colour and impact to the predominantly white interior. More here on Klikk.
An illustration by the brilliant Quentin Blake for Roald Dahl's lovely children's story Matilda. Love.
A cosy sofa that reminds me of the fairy tale The Princess and the Pea. Perfect for weekend lounging.
From Design Observer: "For years photographer Thomas Jorion has been documenting la petite ceinture — the 19th-century railway that circles Paris and was decommissioned decades ago." Follow the link for Jorion's reflections on his work as well as a slide show of his photos.
This is exciting. Discovered languishing in the New Zealand Film Archive under the title (Twin Sisters) with Betty Compson, the 1924 film The White Shadow is Alfred Hitchcock's earliest known surviving film. Available for streaming (keeping in mind that only 3 of the original 6 reels have been found so far) on the National Film Preservation Foundation website until January 15th, 2013.
Via Arts and Letters Daily: "Ghost stories make metaphysicians of us all. 'Let us honor the marvelous as well as the matter of fact!' writes Michael Dirda." Interesting essay on how the fantastic has always been a part of the world’s literature.
The great Japanese clothing designer talks about his love for the beauty of well worn fabrics and the need to live in a much more sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Listen in online to BBC4's Foreign Bodies, a history of modern Europe through literary detectives presented by Mark Lawson. Perfect Sunday afternoon entertainment.

Author Sara Maitland chooses her favourite ten books with forest settings, ranging from the Brothers Grimm, Maurice Sendak, Henry Thoreau to the work of environmental artist Andy Goldsworthy among others.
A lovely and simple recipe from Roost — perfect for rounding off supper on a chilly late autumn evening.
I'm smitten with the elegant Claudia cashmere cowl neck sweater from Souchi — warmth without bulk.
Shimmering gold tones to counteract grey November skies.
Photographer Likainen Parketti has an utterly stunning home, but today I'm focused on her workspace, which is just as gorgeous. Love her warm industrial look — and the sweet dog, too. More here on Plaza.
Just love these wonderful cushions designed by Chloe Croft, available from Black Rooster Decor. Measuring 18"x18" and screen printed on silk from original animal portraits, each image is painstakingly created from hundreds of hand cut strips of paper. Amazing. I'm utterly smitten with this sweet Bulldog! Black Rooster Decor is also giving thanks this weekend with 20% off everything, including furniture, until November 24 2012 — a great time to get decorating your home.
One of the latest prints from Bates Mercantile Co. is this wonderful Dream Within a Dream collage by Pamela Bates — and right now automatism readers can enjoy 20% off from Black Friday (11/23) through to Cyber Monday (11/26) on wall art prints, photographs, desk calendars and stationery.

A contact a day keeps the pounds away!
Accountability is an important ingredient in a successful weight loss plan. Below are 7 ways that will help you with this important aspect of losing weight and maintaining weight loss.
#1: Someone you know (or do not know), in person or via telephone, email, weight loss forum, weight loss community, social media, weight loss diary or journal, public venue, etc.
#2: Your bathroom scale. Daily fluctuations can be frustrating, but daily weighing helps to prevent your weight from creeping back.
#3: Your tape measure. Daily measurements help with maintenance and also while you are in the 'losing weight' stage. Sometimes when we think that our weight has hit a plateau, we are simply regaining heavier muscle mass but still losing inches.
#4: Your food diary or journal. You can use your diary to keep track of what you are doing and your progress. You can also use it to write down what you will eat that day, before you eat it.
#5: Your weight loss goals and objectives, both short and long term. You will be reminding yourself where you are going to help yourself maintain focus.
#6: Your fitness log. This can be as simple as checking off the days that you exercise. You can also keep track of fitness goals and milestones.
#7: Your weight loss app. Most weight loss apps are like having a personal trainer. Click for my pick of the top weight loss apps.
Now make your phone call or send an email or make a post or meet a friend, etc. and make your daily results public. You can also use that someone for help and support. Even if your contact is a stranger, a strong bond will develop and one of the benefits will be to help you to be accountable and to stay on track.

Adding more channels can help Apple's set-top box to gain the top one?
The report says, Apple added CNBC、Fox Now and two regional channels to Apple’s set-top box on Tuesday. Why Apple did this.Of course, to gain customers against Roku and other tv box manufacturers.
In the streaming-media device market, nearly half of purchases of tv boxes were for Roku devices in US last year. Apple just was the second. Although Apple said it has sold about 20 million units worldwide as of April. The competitors including Amazon, Google and Roku have made Apple a lot of pressure. As the customers, glad to ensure we will never miss the business news and information we need or any of the primetime programs we enjoy on CNBC.
Many Apple watchers are looking forward to the fall and wondering if Apple will revamp the interface to be friendlier to the slew of available content, or issue some other upgrade to the set-top box.. There have not any reports. Let’s keep our eyes peeled.

Some people switch careers with the changing of the wind. Not Jim Buckle. He’s a farmer for life.
Buckle, who lives in Jamaica Plain, owns and operates a farm in Dighton. The farm produces a variety of crops, including zucchini, cucumbers, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, potatoes and beets. It also has about 50 egg-producing chickens. Buck said if the finances allow, there are plans to expand to poultry and pork next year.
So where does all this food go? Some of the food finds its way into three restaurants: JP’s Ten Tables and VeeVee and the South End’s Gallows. Buckle said those three establishments are the farm’s best wholesale customers.
About half of the food goes to the 90 members of the farm’s community-supported agriculture (CSA) program, according to Buckle. CSA members pay into the program in January or February, and then receive a box of food every week once the crops come to life.
The farm also sells food at the farmer’s market at the Loring-Greenough House in Monument Square and donates food to the food rescue organization Lovin’ Spoonfuls.
Buckle began farming in 1995 when he went to work at an organic farm while attending Unity College in Unity, Maine. He then owned a farm in Maine in 2001 before moving to JP four years later. It was at that time he became manager of Allandale Farm, a JP farm that has been in operation for 250 years on Allandale Road near the JP/Brookline border.
While at Allandale, Buckle met a farmer from Dighton who sold geraniums. After the farmer ended up getting sick and dying, his wife wanted Buckle to buy the farm. They eventually worked out an “offer I couldn’t pass up” last fall, said Buckle. He owns the farm with his girlfriend Wendy Mainardi, who is also a JP resident.
The Dighton property is 15 acres, 6 acres of which Buckle is farming. Dighton is located in the southeastern part of the state near the Rhode Island border. Buckle said he can farm up to 9 acres, but beyond that is swampy woodlands.
Buckle said the property is a beautiful piece of land that came with a barn, greenhouses and some equipment. But the farm had not been used in four years when Buckle purchased it, so there was significant work to be done, including pulling out a “ridiculous amount of weeds” and fixing up some of the equipment, he said.
Buckle said the first year has been a “wild ride,” which became even more interesting last month when a thunderstorm with hail hit and “did a number on our crops.” He said the farm has since rebounded from that loss.

Casting is a widely-used metalworking method that is valued for its benefits in product manufacturability, repeatability, versatility, and low cost. Although casting capabilities are always improving, there are still many limitations in component design due to the constraints of conventional pattern fabrication methods. Topology optimization is an innovative design approach that optimizes the material layout of the designated geometry. Optimized designs are often too complex to manufacture with standard casting, machining, or other fabrication processes, forcing the utility of topology optimization to remain solely in preliminary design. These designs often require alteration to improve manufacturability, therefore diminishing the full potential benefits of the topology optimization. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, such as 3D printing, are capable of fabricating topologically optimized components without design alteration. However, the limited material selection offered by 3D printers inhibits the performance of printed components. Combining AM technologies and casting allows the possibility to manufacture topologically optimized components using typical casting alloys.
This work looks at current casting and AM technologies, the background of topology optimization, practical work on numerous original optimized designs, the adaption of selected designs to casting methodology, analysis of selected designs using casting simulations, and fabrication of selected designs via investment casting and sand mold casting. Results showed that the collaboration of casting and AM technologies allowed the fabrication of topologically optimized components without the need for significant design alteration. However, defects such as porosity and cracking occurred in both the simulations and physical castings of the components. These complications were likely caused by large variance in the size of adjacent features and by the presence of many flow fronts during pouring. Findings in this work highlight at least the following; optimized components can be produced by casting, although the methods and software need to develop further before the full potential of this approach can be reached. These issues could be mitigated through further study and optimization of the casting processes.

Pre-Xpac (Cataclysm) possibility that this mob in BWD (Drakeadon Mongrel) may be hunter tamable as is Chromaggus. Same model/skin. Let's hope that the same is true for the Soul Devourer!
Patch 4.0.6a notes say that these are now tameable.
I anticipate seeing more really loud corehounds running around my realm soon.
ETA: However, getting to the trash packs they're part of requires taking out Magmaw and Toxitron at the least, while taming Chromaggus is something you can lol through with three of your buddies on a lazy afternoon. Perhaps I should be less concerned.

One of the first questions you ask when shooting on a snowy day is "what color is my snow?" When things are supposed to be all white, that's precisely the time you should worry about color.
My snow is gray -- This is a common problem. Your camera is designed to average all the bright and dark and expose for 18 percent gray. That works for most shots where you have a wide range of light to dark colors. When your scene is all white, it confuses your camera, and your photos show your whites as gray. To make sure you get true whites, overexpose your image by one to two stops. In many cameras, you can select +1 on your exposure compensation dial.
My snow is blue -- Sometimes your camera will record snow with a slight blue tint. If you shoot in raw format, this is usually not an issue, but if you are shooting in jpg format, you might find that you need to adjust your white balance settings. Try daylight or shade settings, but for best results, use a custom white balance.
My snow is white -- Excellent. You've captured the perfect blanket of white. Now it's time to find some bright colors to contrast against the snow. Color will add more life to your photos, as well as provide ingredients for powerful composition.
Go for Golden -- Here's another color tip: Early in the morning and late afternoon are the best times to shoot because the angle of the sun casts longer shadows and adds more contrast than in the middle of the day.
Chances are on most snow days, you will look out your window to admire the pure blanket of white. Who knew that once you grabbed your camera, there would be so many other colors to consider?

T’boli is an agricultural municipality in South Cotabato that has an estimated population of 76,000. Owing to an ideal climate and fertile soil, T’boli has been the target of some multinational companies for large-scale production, making it prone to extensive pesticide use.
Project Proponent/Partner: OND HESED Foundation, Inc.
T’boli is an agricultural municipality in South Cotabato that has an estimated population of 76,000. Owing to an ideal climate and fertile soil, T’boli has been the target of some multinational companies for large-scale agricultural production.
However, the use of pesticides to maximize harvests in the interest of meeting high economic demands is speculated to have become a major environmental and health problem in the municipality.
Spurred by the lack of efforts to monitor pesticide use and the levels of its resultant residues in the area, the OND HESED Foundation, Inc. initiated this research project in order to determine the actual levels of pesticide residue in surface and ground water supplies in T'boli; to identify water supplies in the area with the highest level of pesticide contamination; to compare the levels of pesticide contamination in surface and ground water supplies to the standard or tolerable limit set by DENR for water resources; and to determine the incidence of pesticide-related diseases for the past 12 months in T'boli from the medical records of patients available in the municipal and barangay health centers. The knowledge gathered from the effort is viewed to serve as a framework for management and protection policies and ordinances in favor of the overall health conditions of the human and ecological constituents within the municipality.
Through gas-liquid partition chromatography of surface water and groundwater samples collected from a total of 12 sampling stations, thee project producedlaboratory results of the analysis for agrochemical pesticides used in target sites. From these, it was concluded that (a) T’boli’s surface and groundwater supplies have non-detectable pesticide residues, particularly organochlorines and organophosphates; (b) there is no difference in the amount of residues both on the surface and in groundwater; and (c) surface and groundwater supplies remain free from pesticide contamination at the time of the conduct of study.
While further and longer-term research methods were suggested following the completion of the project, the proponents also stressed increased vigilance and responsible monitoring of pesticide use as recommended actions among the citizens of the concerned vicinities.

Who Should Be on Title to Your Home?
Whether buying property, beginning a new relationship, rearranging affairs after a marital breakdown, or in the context of estate planning, how title to your home, cottage or rental property is held should be a matter of careful consideration.
Title in One Name. It is common for multiple parties to contribute funds to a property but to have only one party hold title to it. Co-owners deciding to register real property in only one name should consider having in place an adequate agreement to govern their relationship, set out responsibilities and protect the interest of unregistered owners.
A sole owner should keep in mind, simply registering title in your name alone does not in itself protect the property from others acquiring an interest. For example, when one spouse brings a home into a marriage, it can automatically become a “matrimonial home” with equal possessory rights for both spouses, regardless of who is on title. A cohabiting partner may also gain a “constructive trust” interest in the other partner’s home by contributing money or labour to its upkeep. Prior to cohabiting or marrying, a sole owner should consider a domestic agreement under the Family Law Act to clarify their new partner’s rights.
Title in Multiple Names. There are two main ways to share title: as “joint tenants” or “tenants in common”. Joint tenants share an equal undivided ownership of the property. Generally the most important consideration for this form of ownership is the right of survivorship – the automatic transfer of a deceased’s interest to surviving joint tenant(s). So long as there remains a surviving joint tenant, the deceased’s share of ownership does not form part of his or her estate. Alternatively, the interest of a tenant in common owner devolves through his or her estate on death as opposed to automatically being transferred to the surviving owners. Tenants in common can own different proportions and can generally deal with their share as they please (subject always to contractual obligations, including mortgage terms). When holding title as tenants in common it is advisable to have a co-ownership agreement setting out, among other things, rules regarding the transfers of interest.
When considering title in more than one name, remember that each titleholder is an owner (unless holding title in trust) and therefore has rights attached to their interest, including a right under the Partition Act to seek an order that the property be sold.
a child’s share in the parent’s property can form part of the child’s estate in the event of a marital separation.
Additionally, there are capital gains, income tax and land transfer tax considerations.
Making a child joint tenant on your property as an estate planning tool can also fail if a court deems that a valid joint tenancy was not created or if the child fails to share the property or proceeds in accordance with your wishes after your death.
Adding a Parent to Title. Mortgage lenders often demand that young or first time borrowers add a parent to the mortgage and to title, to qualify for the loan. It is important that all parties understand the legal and tax consequences of such an arrangement.
If the parent is going on title as a trustee only, adequate evidence of the trust must be established, such as through a formal trust agreement. In a trust situation, the mortgage lender may require a separate guarantee of the mortgage by the parent, and independent legal advice will likely be required. If the parent goes on title as a co-owner, the parent has a real interest in the property; which has associated tax and estate considerations.
In either case, the parent will be required to consent to all actions related to the property and some form of agreement between the parties is advisable. Finally, a parent’s liability for the mortgage is generally joint and several – meaning the bank can hold the parent responsible for 100% of the loan if the child defaults.
Holding Title in Trust or Through a Corporation. Another consideration is holding title to property through a corporation or via a trustee. There are various tax and estate planning purposes behind these methods of holding title, which are beyond the scope of this article and should be discussed with your accountant and lawyer.
For most of us, our real estate is our most important asset. Decisions about how to hold title to it should never be taken lightly. Work with your lawyer, accountant and realtor to ensure the method chosen works best for you and your family.

Designing application and middleware software to run in concurrent and networked environments is a significant challenge to software developers. The patterns catalogued in this second volume of Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture (POSA) form the basis of a pattern language that addresses issues associated with concurrency and networking. The book presents 17 interrelated patterns ranging from idioms through architectural designs. They cover core elements of building concurrent and network systems: service access and configuration, event handling, synchronization, and concurrency. All patterns present extensive examples and known uses in multiple programming languages, including C++, C, and Java. The book can be used to tackle specific software development problems or read from cover to cover to provide a fundamental understanding of the best practices for constructing concurrent and networked applications and middleware.

This paper explores why anti-left sentiments have recently emerged in some Asian cities and, in particular, why urban middle classes have frequently, if not persistently, protested against the socioeconomic reforms of new left governments. The global middle-class thesis ascribes the emergence of anti-left sentiments to the liberal-democratic ideology and conservative values of the affluent middle classes. However, this paper does not characterize these anti-left sentiments as ideological or value-driven conflicts. Alternatively, this paper argues that this phenomenon has stemmed from the immediate reactions, or hysteresis, of the middle classes to the critical instability that the new left governments have caused in their taken-for-granted lifestyles in unique urban spaces. To corroborate the argument, this paper compares the cases of the most contentious middle classes in three East and Southeast Asian countries, including Japan’s wage earners or salarymen, South Korea’s self-employed, and Thailand’s urban professionals.

The influence of sodium ions on rare-earth clustering formation was analyzed in xSiO2-(1-x)P2O5-zNa2O glass matrices observing variations in the erbium lifetime laser tradition at 1535 nm. The ER3+ equals 1.0M glasses have shown an optimal performance for sodium close to 0.5M. Using the fluorescence characteristics an enhancement of approximately 25 percent in the lifetime was observed. It was noticed that the Na+ ions have not contributed only to the clustering formation but also to the rare-earth concentrating, due to the augment in the non- bridging oxygen in the glass. The Judd-Ofelt analysis was applied to the glass system and softening due to the inclusion of sodium into the matrix was observed. All these results are in agreement with the molecular dynamics analysis reported for similar glass.

Please welcome author Sally O'Reilly to the blog today! Sally is currently on tour with HF Virtual Book Tours and today I have a fabulous guest post to share with you, plus five chances to win your own copy of Dark Aemilia: A Novel of Shakespeare's Dark Lady!
How much do you know about the lives of women in the past? Possibly less than you think. Until I began work on a novel about Shakespeare’s play ‘Macbeth’, I had never heard of the poet Aemilia Lanyer. She is just one of the many extraordinary women whose names have been almost forgotten by history – and one of the five examples listed below.
1. Trota of Salerno was a 12th century Italian medical practitioner. Her essay ‘On Treatments for Women’ was included in the Trotula, a famous early medical treatise, and for some time ‘Trotula’ was thought to be her name. There are few surviving examples of her work but we do know that she wrote about a wide variety of medical subjects, including infertility, menstrual disorders, make-up and snake bites. Her medical writing was lost until the 1980s, when it was rediscovered by the medieval history scholar John F. Benton.
2. Aemilia Bassano Lanyer was the first woman to be published professionally as a poet in England. She was born to a family of Venetian musicians who played at the court of Henry VIII. At 17, she became the mistress of the Lord Chamberlain, and was married off to a cousin when she became pregnant. In 1611, she published her proto feminist poetry collection: ‘Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum’, which includes a poem suggesting that Eve should not have taken the blame for the Fall of Man. She could also be the ‘Dark Lady’ to whom Shakespeare dedicated his later sonnets.
3. Maria Anna Mozart was the elder sister of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. When she was seven, her father Leopold started teaching her the harpsichord, and she excelled as a child musician. Leopold took both her and Wolfgang around 18th century Europe, displaying their talents to the great and good. But when Maria grew older, it was Wolfgang who took centre stage. There is evidence that she also wrote musical compositions: letters from her brother mention these. Sadly, none have survived.
4. Mary Elizabeth Bowser was a freed slave who worked as a Union spy during the American Civil War in the 19th century. Bowser was highly intelligent and had a photographic memory. Working with the abolitionist Elizabeth Van Lew, she posed as Ellen Bond, a dim-witted servant, and was employed in the household of the Confederate President, Jefferson Davis. Black slaves and servants were treated as if they were invisible, and she was able to report back on conversations as well as paperwork she had memorised. When she was finally caught, she attempted to burn down the Confederate White House.
5. Irena Sendler was the head of the Polish resistance organisation Zegota in World War II. She helped smuggle around 2,500 children out of the Warsaw Ghetto, providing them with fake documentation. She was eventually caught by the Nazis, tortured and sentenced to death, but she managed to evade execution and survived the war. She has been recognised as one of the Righteous among the Nations by the State of Israel, and honoured by the Polish government.
A TALE OF SORCERY AND PASSION IN SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY LONDON—WHERE WITCHES HAUNT WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE AND HIS DARK LADY, THE PLAYWRIGHT'S MUSE AND ONE TRUE LOVE.
Selected by O, The Oprah Magazine as one of 17 Books You Won't Be Able To Put Down!
For information and news please visit Sally O'Reilly's website and the Dark Aemilia Facebook Page.
To win a copy of Dark Aemilia please complete the form below. Giveaway is open to US and Canadian residents only and ends on September 12.
The dark nature of the book appeals to my senses greatly.
Never heard of this woman but I'd love to fill in the blanks of this story, thanks.
Enjoyed this interesting and informative post. I've read about Mary Elizabeth Bowser, would love to find HF about the other women mentioned. Thanks for the giveaway.
Loved the post. Now I want to read more about the 5 women that were forgotten by history. Hopefully there will be some historical fiction about them available.
The only one I heard of on this list was Mary Bowser but they all sound fascinating. Can't wait to read this!

I started training as a barber 10 years ago when I lived in Miami. I went to a barbering school for 6 months, I then worked in a few different shops before I opened up my own shop with my brother. I then moved back to Brazil in 2013 which is where I am from and opened up my own salon. A year ago I decided to continue my barbering adventure in the UK which is when I found Jacks.
I’m a big flirt. But I also love the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and have watched one of them over 40 times and know it word for word!
What type of music style describes you?
Skin fades – nice short, sharp finish.
Because at Jacks I can spend time with my customers and really look after them. This is my style and how I like to work. I don’t want to rush and I want all my customers to leave feeling the best that they can. I love the whole concept and the teamwork.

It’s that time of year when December’s graduating students are thinking about entering the ‘real world’ or spring graduates are looking to land a cool internship before they leave college.
Our mailbox stays pretty active with internship inquiries and resumes from job seekers. From the super, creative and outgoing to those who may have skipped one too many classes.
Anyone who is applying for a public relations job should already realize the value of a great pitch. Writing and being able to communicate are absolute musts in any “communications” field, but for a PR applicant, the first “pitch assignment” involves getting a prospective employer to call you back. See if you can get us to call you back with your “hire me” pitch, then chances are you might do a great job getting the media to call you back, too!
The saying goes, “you don’t know what you don’t know.” Well, we’re going to let you know a few ‘somethings’ and then you won’t be able to use the “I didn’t know!” excuse any longer. Deal?
Once you’re in the industry, the ability to establish, develop and maintain relationships will be critical. Some of the best relationships all begin with the pitch. Kind of romantic, right?
This whole ‘pitch’ thing, there’s a book for that – thanks to Crosby! (We told you she was talented!) Crosby’s new e-book, Pitch Perfect: The PR Couture Guide to Fashion Media Coverage is a must-have and must-read for any fashion PR pro (or soon-to-be pro). (Hint #5.) It’s filled with the basics of PR planning, details on how to locate difficult media contact info, working with fashion bloggers, maximizing PR coverage and more. Plus, there are even “how to pitch” interviews from a variety of fashion journalists, writers, editors and bloggers (including one of our faves, Dree Harper of Refinery29 and CreateThatStyle).

Many high achievers share a dirty little secret: Deep down inside they feel like a complete fraud. I’m not implying that I consider myself a high achiever but I too resonated with Mike Guasch and Art Markman while interviewing them for our documentary film The Gentleman Driver. They touched on the imposture syndrome.
Shooting a series of explanatory videos for Ideal Power was extremely exciting because it was like peering into the future. They are changing the way batteries harness solar power and its about time in our opinion! Walking through their lab and talking to their technicians was one of the coolest things we've done in a while, and we do a lot of cool things!
Branded content is so incredibly important in this day and age. One of the biggest and best marketing brands knows this all too well. Over the last year Tequila Patron has hired us to produce short social media videos that recap each race of the IMSA season.Sweet gig huh?
HOLIDAY EVENTS? GET A SOCIAL MEDIA PHOTO BOOTH!
Networking events, happy hours, holiday parties, and brand activation events are just a few of the fun events that you'll find yourself at this season. One thing you'll find at every good event is a photo booth. Whether you see a old school photographer clicking away, a walk-in booth, or a kiosk, everyone's always got to have that selfie or group photo to post.

What Can a Custodial Account Be Used For?
On occasion, our loved ones pass away too soon and we find ourselves in the care of a minor with a custodial account left to them by their caretaker. Typically these custodial accounts include life insurance policies, pensions, and other inheritance. Until they come of age, custodians are able to access the account in order to use that money for their care. However, how exactly can they use that money?
One common question that custodians ask is if they can use the money from that custodial account to cover funeral expenses. The unfortunate answer is no. The best rule of thumb for what you can and can’t do with a custodial account is does it benefit the minor? Paying for a funeral, even for the parent of a minor, doesn’t benefit them. Paying for their school tuition, on the other hand, does benefit them. So if you are considering what you can and can’t do with the funds in the account of a minor in your care, typically you need to ask yourself if it truly does benefit them. If you are discovered using the funds frivolously, there can be serious consequences for it.
No matter whether you were left with the care of a minor and their money or just want to consider planning the estate for your family after you are gone, contact us today. Ford + Bergner LLP is dedicated to making sure that your wills and trusts are carried out in the best regard to the wishes of the deceased.
Many believe estate planning is only for those who are older, and it is certainly one of the last things they are thinking about after starting your family. However, estate planning is for people of any age, and there is actually no more important time to consider your estate planning than after you have had a child.
However, while young families may think their estate plan is as simple as your spouse then your child gets everything, it is just ever so much more involved. For instance, what if your spouse passes away too and your child is still a minor? Who will take care of your child as well as their custodial account until they come of age? Will you pick a family member to care for them and the money or just the child and leave money management up to an outside party?
Typically the best thing for young families to do, just in case, is to create a trust under their Wills that will allow a trustee to manage the child’s assets until a designated age. Many parents leave the same person in charge of both the personal and financial decisions for their minor children, while others prefer to split the responsibilities.
If you have recently started your new family and your thoughts are turning to the future, contact us today. Ford + Bergner LLP is dedicated to making sure families are taken care of.

The U3A offers excellent talks and discussions and a chance to participate in small groups that will widen your knowledge or perhaps cater for special interests you have already. All local U3As are self help groups in which members share with each other their own knowledge and experience.
In the Northumbria Regional U3A alone there are 51 groups with possibly more to follow and beyond that a Third Age Trust National and International movement flourishes. The organisation holds many national and regional events as well as local ones.
Click on the U3A Tab at the top of the page, which will take you to the National site that details history of the organisation and much more information.
There is no age limit, membership is open to anyone no longer in full time employment.
Our local U3A organisation has over 200 members from the areas around Whickham, including Blaydon, Lobley Hill, Marley Hill, Sunniside and Winlaton.
Members meet all together on the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 2pm in St. Mary's Centre, Church Chare, Whickham NE16 4SH. Sometimes there can be as many as 70-80 members that come along to this meeting. Talks are presented on a wide range of topics, given by speakers from the North East. Occasionally there is a social event, for example the Christmas Party. At each meeting, besides the opportunity to meet existing friends and make new ones, you will be kept a breast of what's going on and enjoy coffee/tea and biscuits. Occasionally there is a free raffle.
Why not come along as a visitor at the monthly main meeting if you are interested in joining U3A...you will be very welcome.
On the 4th Wednesday of each month we hold coffee mornings for members to socialise and obtain details of current and future events. The coffee morning is also held at St. Mary's Centre. See the Events page for further details.
Our main activities centre on the Subject Groups. Some information about those which are currently running can be found on the Groups page. The Groups are run by leaders well informed in their chosen subject and in many groups, members are welcome to share their own knowledge and experiences. Groups cover indoor and outdoor interests, cultural and otherwise, while social events also feature on the calendar.
More than 20 groups flourish presently and if a topic you would like to see is not covered, then our group coordinators can help you start a new group.
The annual subscription is £15 which covers all the groups you may wish to join. This is due on the 1st April each year.
A charge of £1 is made at the monthly meetings, which covers the cost of hall hire, refreshments and speakers fees.
The Subject Groups are self financing. Members of some groups may meet in member's houses, in which case a small fee is charged to pay for coffee/tea/biscuits. Members of groups requiring the use of a hall for their activities pay the appropriate amount to cover the cost of the hire of that hall and possibly other expenses.
You can contribute to the U3A at any level. Everyone is a volunteer. All help is welcome, whether helping with refreshments, putting out tables and chairs for the meetings, organising a group or standing for election as a Committee Member at the Annual General meeting.
For further information please look at the Events Page.

As the mortally wounded JJ was lifted onto the ground, Isabel Acosta, the school’s activities director and a trained emergency medical technician, wrapped her arms around the senior cornerback and went through her mental checklist. Protect the airways, stem the blood flow, try to keep him conscious.
Nothing was OK, of course. As Clavo was dying in the ambulance en route to the hospital, the shocked students, teachers, parents lingered near the stadium, screaming, embracing, sobbing. One year ago Sunday. He was just a 17-year-old kid with fast feet, big dreams and a loving extended family.
The teen accused in Clavo’s death, Keymontae Lindsey, pleaded not guilty in July to murder charges.
To mark the anniversary, a 2 p.m. memorial will be held Sunday in the main gym. The service is open to the public, an overflow crowd expected. This is the Grant way. This is a diverse community that wins together, loses together, grieves together, that is stitched together by a storied football program, a campus that serves as an oasis in the desert, and whose mantra – “A Pacer 4 Life” – persists through generations.
While Friday’s playoff opener was emotionally trying for another reason – this was the team that eliminated the Pacers from the postseason only eight days after Clavo’s death – it also allowed for a collective sigh of relief. The Grant side of the stands was packed with familiar faces: grandparents, parents, sons, daughters, cousins, nieces, nephews, many of whom attended the school and have relatives enrolled. Some of them teach or coach here and simply refuse to leave.
Vice principal Kim Davie, at Grant since 1996, repeatedly rebuffs offers to become a principal elsewhere. Principal Darris Hinson is the uncle of Johnson, who recovered from his gunshot wound and attends community college, and he has a son who is a junior at the school. The elder Hinson played football and graduated from Grant in 1988, back when – he adds with a smile – legendary coach Mike Alberghini softened around the edges. Alberghini, who retired from teaching in 2008, has worked on the Del Paso Heights campus for 48 years, teaching classes, coaching baseball, and running the football program for 26 years.
His football accomplishments include one state championship, three teams in the nation’s Top 10 list, 10 undefeated seasons and 15 players who reached the pros, among them Donte Stallworth, Onterrio Smith, Shaq Thompson, Devontae Booker and Aaron Garcia. Then there are all the other things that endear him to the administration and students, not all of whom are players.
Coach Al, as he is known, is omnipresent. He still arrives in the early morning and patrols the premises like an aging Italian teddy bear, helping with fundraisers, teasing youngsters in the cafeteria, discussing issues in the principal’s office – occasionally reminiscing about Hinson’s playing days – and ducking his head into classrooms to inquire about his players’ progress and attendance.
Yet according to a few of the Pacers, as Friday’s playoff opener and the memorial service approached, Alberghini has seemed unusually somber, choking up when speaking about Clavo and encouraging the youngsters to share their feelings.
Diminutive running back Tyree Marcelle, who darted through and around the Grizzlies’ defense for four rushing touchdowns, said he experienced a rare case of “butterflies” before Friday’s game and was preoccupied throughout the week.
As she so often does, Nicole Clavo, JJ’s mother, sat in the middle of the Pacers’ rooting section Friday night, dressed in her late son’s blue and yellow football jersey. She walked through the stands during halftime, greeting people who once were friends but have become family.
Her emotions are still raw, she acknowledges, and at times indescribable.
Clavo finds her continued presence at the school both comforting and painful. The shooting is a constant companion, a topic that never seems to leave the room. But her ongoing involvement has spurred ongoing discussions within the community, administration and district about devising ways to keep youngsters safe and in school.
To prevent players from leaving campus and frequenting the nearby fast-food restaurants before games, for instance, a variety of local businesses and several parents donate meals every Friday. A group of leaders within the area – pastors, educators, entrepreneurs – formed the North Area Community Collaboration and is attempting to change the perception and improve conditions throughout the hardscrabble Del Paso Heights neighborhood. For the first time in decades, Grant was able to fund a marching band to complement its highly regarded Drumline.

Is A Medication-Free IVF Treatment Possible?
1- What is a medication-free IVF treatment?
In classical IVF, eggs are collected after they have reached the necessary growth, and is taken under process. During the non-drug in vitro (IVM) the ovum is collected before it has a chance to grow and later it will be grown in a laboratory until it reaches the right conditions. In this method of treatment, the aim is to protect females who may suffer or experience complications from these medications. The candates will be protected from any possible complication which can be caused by the medication during IVM. During medication-free IVF treatment, the patient may be given a little bit of hormone supplements. In most cases this isn’t necessary. Once the eggs which are being held under the observation of growth have reached the desired maturity, they will be collected with a needle. Sperm taken from the male injected into the egg with the microinjection method. As the final stage of the treatment, the embryos will be transferred to the female.
2- Who should prefer IVM?
It has been observed that some candidates are sensitive to drugs that are being used in IVF treatment. The patients who have OHCC or PKOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) can be suitable candidates for IVM. At the same time, it can also be used in patients with endometriosis, male infertility and patients who give low response to medication. Drug-free IVF treatment, is an ideal treatment for cancer patients who are strictly forbidden to receive hormone therapy.
3- What are the success rates?
IVM success rates are around %30 which is accepted highly successful.
4- What are the advantages?
5- What are the disadvantages of IVM?
It may be difficult to collect the ovary needed to continue the treatment in some cases. Pregnancy rates can be lower when compared to classical methods.
6- How are the eggs collected without any medication support?
During IVM the female’s natural eggs are collected without any support of medication. After this step, the egg cell is fertilized with the sperm of the male. The process of fertilization is applied with the help of microinjection (ICSI) method.
7- IVM cannot be applied to whom?
IVM treatment cannot be applied to couples who are over the appropriate age.
8- How long does it take?
The treatment will take around 8 to 10 days. The candidates will only visit the centre once or twice during this period for 30 minutes.

Nate Silver has a replacement stat for the save: the goose egg. The stat, which he announced today, is part tribute, part troll of former Yankees closer Goose Gossage. Silver lays out his idea in detail on FiveThirtyEight, but essentially a goose egg would be rewarded to a pitcher for pitching one scoreless inning in the 7th inning or later when his team is tied or up by no more than two runs. Which 2016 pitchers had the most goose eggs? Jeurys Familia (42), Andrew Miller (42), and Zach Britton (40).
Speaking of statistcal analysis, our very own took a look at the similarities between current Red Sox ace Chris Sale and former Red Sox ace Pedro Martinez. As Peter writes, Sale is 28 years old and averaged 204 IP, 226 SO, 2.97 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 5.5. WAR with the White Sox. Pedro was traded to the Red Sox at age 26, and averaged 199 IP, 211 SO, 3.06 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, and 5 WAR with the Expos prior.
Two weeks into the season, five guys have reached the 1 WAR mark (using FranGraphs data): pitchers James Paxton and Noah Syndergaard and hitters Chase Headley, Francisco Lindor, and Eric Thames. The most impressive of the bunch may be Thames, who has mashed six homers in just 44 PA (a far cry from his 12 HR in 394 PA during his last MLB stint in 2011).

...is finally underway, and the next 2 weeks are going to be a lot of fun. This project has been on the books for a while, but we had to wait for the lumber to get shipped in from California. It's cool-lookin' wood...but the 5 weeks for shipping...not so cool.
Anyways...the job includes a number of projects, including the installation of a massive headboard and the construction of a furniture piece in the master bedroom, all of which is going to get skinned with the reclaimed wood. Today was day #1, always a bit of a slow day on bigger jobs; there are a lot of tools to unload and set up, materials have to be sorted through, and especially on a job like this - there's no real designs set in stone, it's going to be the construction equivalent of free-handing something - a game plan has to be devised.
So...progress was slow, but there was progress nonetheless. The reclaimed lumber should show up tomorrow, and by the middle of the week we'll be getting into it.

I'm having a strange problem with my ibook. When I try to turn it on without the charger plugged in it doesn't turn on. But if i take out the battery and plug into the charger it works. I can put the battery back in when it's on, disconnect the charger and the battery works fine. I tried resetting the pram and it nothing changed. Any suggestions?
Have you tried resetting the PMU? Also, what is the health of the battery? And is the battery fully charged when you attempt to start up your computer? Do you have to remove your battery in order to start up with the charger? Or will it start with the charger plugged in and the battery in place?
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME. I'm a computer ignorant woman and need help. I have an IBOOK G4 and I was trying to fix a problem in IPhoto (which never got fixed) and took some guy's bad advice to reset iphoto or something and now my plug-ins are gone too.

My desire for involvement in social justice was borne out of the socially challenging context that I found myself in during my philosophy studies at Arrupe College in Harare, where I was from 2006 to 2010. In those years, Zimbabwe sunk to its lowest politically and economically. Politically, intolerance by the ruling party towards supporters of opposition parties was deepening, and political violence was recurrent. Economically, the country was experiencing run-away hyper-inflation that set a new world record. There was shortage of basic goods in shops, and when they were available their prices simply prevented the majority poor from accessing them, especially given that many had been rendered jobless by the closure of several companies. Poverty thrived. At Arrupe College, however, the situation was slightly different. Although we were certainly affected by the national economic situation, we were relatively insulated from its sting. Whilst we had access to most of what we needed, many ordinary people remained stuck in poverty.
I found myself caught up in these two different worlds. It was a situation that created some spiritual dissonance within me, where the life that I lived in common with others did not seem to attest to the social context we were in. I developed a strong desire to offer my own response to the social situation in the country. However, I found myself incapacitated in many ways to fulfil this desire. It is then that I thought perhaps the best I could do in that moment was to equip myself with the intellectual tools needed for me to understand the social situation more critically and systematically. I thus took an interest in courses and electives that were of relevance to that end. Concurrently, I began to envision myself as providing that response I so desired to offer in the form of social justice advocacy and developmental work for my regency. I therefore attempted to shape my academic experience in a way that would prepare me for what I thought could be my calling within the Society, and more immediately, what I hoped would be my apostolate for regency.
I began my regency in July 2010 and was working at the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) an organisation of the Zambia-Malawi Province. The organisation is involved in research, education, advocacy and consultancy on issues of economic, social and political justice. General Congregation 32 defined our mission today as that of a service of faith and the promotion of justice, a conception that has been affirmed by subsequent general congregations. My regency at JCTR afforded me the opportunity to partake in a more direct way in this mission of promoting social justice.
Today, I continue contributing to that mission in my capacity as Director of Silveira House Jesuit Social Justice and Development Centre in Harare. Silveira House was founded in 1964 to promote social justice through programmes and activities that promote community development, peace-building, just laws and bi-laws that promote local and national development, and through imparting technical, vocational and entrepreneurship skills to young men and women as means of providing them with employment and sustainable sources of livelihood.
Why is it that there is enough food for everyone in the world yet so many people go hungry? How is it that we have so many resources yet so many live in such poverty? How is that there is so much work to be done, yet there are few employment opportunities? Why are political leaders not moved by the poverty they see around them? How can they be challenged to have more encompassing interests rather than the narrow interests they serve. These are some of the many questions that I ponder. These questions, simple as they are, are key to the work I do. My work at Silveira House for the past one and a half years has been devoted to trying to remedy what little I can about the inequalities pervading this country.
Disillusionment does set in because of the slow progress of change we experience. It is discouraging dealing with intransigent political leaders who have the power to change certain policies and help improve people's lives, yet lack the will to do so. I occasionally doubt the real impact of our work and the work of similar organisations, especially considering the effort we all put and the millions of dollars spent every year on development work. Such close encounters with political power, the power in which resides the ability to bring about needed change, yet a power resistant to doing so in the face of human suffering, impacts on one's interior life and reconfigures certain faith beliefs, as it does in me at times. But hope does triumph over present disenchantments. The small victories wrought by our projects provides that spark of hope, such as when families are able to send their children to school, to buy medicine and to repair their simple houses because of the income-generating projects we would have helped them start. This helps me see the value of our work and gives me the strength to continue.

Many dyslexics have difficulty with certain aspects of mathematics. In this article, we take a look at the basic principles for effectively teaching students who have difficulty with math.
Dyscalculic learners may have difficulty understanding simple number concepts, lack an intuitive grasp of numbers, and may have problems learning number facts and procedures.
Even if they produce a correct answer or use a correct method, they may do so hesitantly and without confidence" (DfES, 2001). There is a high co-morbidity rate for children with developmental dyscalculia and dyslexia. Between 60% and 100% of dyslexics have difficulty with certain aspects of mathematics (Miles, 1993 & Joffe, 1990).
While there is not a single indicator of a disability in math, poorly-developed number concepts in kindergarten are strongly correlated with poor math performance in later grades (Jordan, Kaplan, Locuniak, & Ramineni, 2007; Mazzocco & Thompson, 2005). All children benefit from number-rich learning environments, and students with poor number concept can benefit greatly from early and intensive intervention. Instruction for number sense should concentrate on number skills, symbolic skills, and the ability to compare and estimate quantity (Mazzocco, 2011).
Just as fluency is an essential skill for proficiency in literacy, fluency is also foundational for proficiency in math (Powell et al., 2011). Number combinations can refer to basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operations that undergird algebra, geometry, trigonometry, etc. Students who struggle to quickly and accurately do number combinations are severely handicapped when it comes to grasping later mathematical concepts. Four recent studies conducted with third graders with math difficulties yielded positive results with drills for math facts (through a variety of formats), conceptual instruction, and counting strategies, (Fuchs et al., 2010). It was important to not only increase the fluency for math facts, but to also provide students with strategies for solving number combinations when they could not retrieve the math fact (e.g., if a student incorrectly answered a question, he solved the problem with a strategy). The correct answer was always achieved to solidify the math fact in the student’s memory. The frequency of practice was viewed as an important component of mastery.
While there is no "cookbook" approach for teaching math, some basic principles have been suggested by the contributors of "Dyslexia and Mathematics-Second Edition" edited by Miles and Miles (2004).
How does the test look? For example, how closely spaced are the items?
How complex is the language? Are you allowed to read the paper to the pupil?
Are there diagrams to illustrate the problems?
How many items to increase the grade-equivalence by one year (Most tests have about 4-5 items)?
What are the details of the sample used for the standardization of the test? Did it include any dyslexic pupils?
Does the test match your teaching program? Note: you may also request a curriculum-based math assessment.
What diagnostic information can you extract from the test?
For pupils who have attention-span problems, how long does the test take? Is it timed?
Is there a parallel form for re-testing?
What is the age range of the test (for monitoring a student longitudinally)?
Obtain standardized information as well as a classroom assessment of math performance (comparing the student to his own peers). An error analysis should be conducted by asking the student, "How did you do that problem?" This can provide valuable information about where the breakdown is occurring.
Establish a positive rapport between the teacher and student with dyscalculia and dyslexia. Since anxiety and fear are often present, the teacher must help to identify the specific breakdowns, learning styles, and strategies to provide successful experiences with math. A teacher must have confidence in her ability to help the student, which will yield confidence in the student.
Point out the importance of the position of numbers in powers, fractions, equations, etc.
Teach students about flexibility with regard to directionality. For example, in some operations, such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication, the student must begin with the right-hand column, whereas the student moves from left-to-right in long division. In an equation, on the other hand, the student needs to solve it in either direction, depending on what he needs to do.
Introduce small, incremental steps for each new type of problem.
Determine the student’s preferred thinking style to assess how he or she approaches a problem, solves a problem, and evaluates the outcome. The Test of Thinking Style in Mathematics (Chinn, 2003) can assess whether a student uses a more inchworm (bottom-up) approach or a grasshopper (top-down) approach to math. Good math students are able to move flexibly between these two approaches according to Kruteetskii (1976). Students with dyslexia may "get stuck" using one cognitive approach, which does not serve them well in learning the curriculum. Note: many curriculums teach more to one style than the other. The Inchworm/Grasshopper Thinking Styles can make learning more explicit for all students in the classroom.
Model linking language to the actions (using the objects) to facilitate language growth, problem solving, memory, and self-monitoring. For example, use Cuisenaire rods to do a subtraction task: "I take one ten from the tens-position and exchange it for ten units. I put the ten units in the units-position and exchange it for ten units. I put the ten units in the units-position, and then I take away the six."
Explicitly teach math terms. Associations and mnemonic strategies will foster greater memory.
Instruct students in the meanings of symbols such as: / < > = + % ( ) and *. Make a reference chart with the definitions of each symbol.
Alert the student to the myriad mathematical synonyms, such as the following terms for addition: "altogether," "sum," "total," "plus," "add," and "and."
Use multi-sensory methods of instruction such as: Cuisenaire rods, Dienes blocks, and multimedia calculators.
Repeat verbal-kinesthetic procedures until the manipulatives can be faded out entirely.
Make a script of the procedure and kit of materials that travels home with the student to increase consistency.
Teach for mastery before moving on to new information. Students with dyscalculia need to over-learn each skill and this necessitates working at their own pace.
Improve memorization of times tables using "Gypsy Math" where the student can use his or her fingers to quickly remember how to multiply by 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 (this requires no immediate knowledge of a times table higher than four). A complete description and mathematical proof of this strategy can be found in Dyslexia and Mathematics 2nd Edition edited by Miles and Miles.
Besides difficulty with awareness of numbers, many students with dyslexia have difficulty with working memory. Working memory is the ability to attend and hold multiple things in the forefront of your mind while analyzing or manipulating them during the course of a few seconds. Since math is replete with problem solving and analysis, this is a major stumbling block for students. While some students may develop their own strategies for compensating for weak working memory, other students may be confounded and unable to move past these difficulties. You have the potential to lighten their cognitive load by using the following principles in your instruction.
Identify a student struggling with working memory. Your student may seem to "stall" in the middle of completing their work. They will struggle with multi-step directions and operations. They may give up, demonstrate place-keeping errors, and have trouble with recall.
Analyze the task for working memory and cognitive demands. Consider the number of steps in a calculation and directions. Also, factor in how well the student knows the concepts.
Scaffold the task so that the student is doing it along with you (e.g., in a hands-on apprenticeship).
Talk to your student and assess his meta-cognition and ability to self-monitor. Improve these executive skills and focus on getting your student to ask for help when he gets "stuck."
Provide a sequence or a pattern for problem solving. If a task appears "familiar," your student will more likely "stick with it" and will tend to be more accurate. Your student may need an approach to problem solving.
Give your student examples to look at in order to decrease the cognitive load.
Teach for mastery. Don’t move on until your student has achieved competency or you will be setting him up for failure.
Model an approach for breaking apart multi-step directions and teach your student a strategy that works for him. He may benefit from drawing hash lines between each step, or highlighting, crossing out, or numbering each step.
Make visual aids for number facts available, including multiplication grids, number lines, and manipulatives.
Consider the role of anxiety, since it can hinder memory, focus, and attention to a task. See the section on motivation below.
Read more on the role of working memory in math in "Working Memory Limitations in Mathematics Learning: Their Development, Assessment, and Remediation" (Berch, 2011).
A classroom study by Chinn (1995) suggests that the errors made by dyslexics on an untimed test were not significantly different to those made by non-dyslexics, with one notable exception, the error of no-attempt. The hypothesis is that the dyslexic pupil looks at the item and, if he feels he may not get the right answer, he simply does not begin. Avoidance is one symptom of lack of motivation. Becoming the class clown or making comments like, "I hate math," or, "My teacher doesn’t like me," are indicative of motivational difficulties for math.
Numerous factors may contribute to a lack of motivation for math, such as repeated failure; a mismatch in the student’s learning style and manner of instruction; teachers’ and parents’ comments; feeling overwhelmed or confused; or fear of embarrassment/failure in front of peers, to name but a few. It may be helpful to interview your student to get a sense of what the underlying cause is.
Explore the value of math with your student. Find ways to make it relevant for his daily life (e.g., calculating a sale price, following a recipe, or planning a party). Point out the social consequences and costs of not being proficient in math.
Relate your student’s goals for the future to being "mathematically literate." For example, if your student wants to pursue a career that requires a college degree, point out that he will be required to take college level math courses.
Develop your student’s internal locus of control. Illustrate the importance of locus of control in a game requiring some level of strategy. Connect that with your student’s beliefs about math. Take an experimental approach to illustrate the direct relationship between hard work, strategy development, and improved outcomes (as opposed to blaming the teacher or stating that the material is too hard).
Sample a variety of strategies for your student’s learning style and develop a "toolbox of strategies" that your student can utilize. For more on teaching strategies for your student’s learning style, see (link to article on meta-cognition).
Teach your student self-advocacy skills such as seeking help and accommodations from teachers, seeking alternative ways to learn math (e.g., computer based models) ,or tutoring. For more on teaching self-advocacy for your student’s learning style, see Teaching Self-Advocacy.
Structure goals for mastery. This allows your student to see the result of his practice and effort and promotes a feeling of success. It will require your student to learn at his own pace.
Minimize social comparison for grades and reward effort and attitude as well.
Find a match between your student’s learning style and the teaching style.
Allow for more individualized math instruction so that your student can learn at his own pace and develop the needed strategies, working memory skills, and motivation.
Select a teacher that is effusive in his or her enthusiasm for math. These attitudes are contagious.
Use reinforcement for both effort and mastery. Allow the student to select his reinforcement.
Seat your student where he can see the chalkboard/screen and teacher. Ensure that there are not many other distractions (social or otherwise) nearby.

If you are interested in more examples and evidence-based suggestions for improving math in your students, an excellent resource is the book Dyslexia and Mathematics edited by T.R. Miles and Elaine Miles (2004). You may also be interested in the spring 2011 edition of IDA’s Perspectives on Language and Literacy: Mathematical Difficulties in School Age Children.
Even if you do not hold an advanced degree in mathematics, you have much to offer your student who struggles with math. You can elucidate the underlying causes of the struggle, recommend a thorough assessment, and highlight the type of learning environment your student needs. You can help your student develop the requisite language, motivational, and meta-cognitive skills to achieve fluency in math. Success starts here!

Recently, while doing some research on whether or not it’s OK to use laser pointers when playing with dogs (not really, it turns out), I learned that many animal behavior experts are now recommending that they be used with caution when playing with cats as well.
Basically, the red dot stimulates our pets’ hunting drive, but the inability to ever be able to “catch” the prey can result in frustration, leading to obsessive-compulsive behaviors.
Please don’t let the laser pointer become your cat’s only toy. You need a range of toys, such as wand toys, that your cat can paw at and capture.
During playtime, have on hand some stuffed cat toys that your cat can easily grab or paw. You might even put a little food in some of the toys for kitty to retrieve as a reward.
Once in a while, let the red dot of the laser land on one of these other toys and watch your kitty “capture” it. Be sure she has a firm hold on the toy before you take the light away.
Never shine the light directly into your cat’s eyes. You can cause serious damage to your pet’s eyes by doing this!

The coming holidays will be my first as a pet sitter. Like many professional pet sitters, I will spend the next few weeks on the go from early in the morning until well into the evening. No festive dinner with family; no enjoying my neice and nehphew’s excitement as they open their presents by the tree; no leisurely Christmas morning brunch filled with mimosas and laughter. I admit that I have experienced a few moments of sadness in anticipation of this fact.
But early this morning, as I drove to visit one of my kitty clients before the sun was fully up, I noticed the light displays in so many yards along the way. My car radio was tuned to a classical station that I’m pretty sure will be playing nothing but carols from now until the new year. There was a decorated tree waiting for me when I arrived at the client’s home. And it struck me that in my travels around town as a pet sitter, I will actually get to experience more varied festive holiday stimuli than I would otherwise.
Most importantly, I’ll get to spend time helping people’s pets feel a little less alone while their families are away, and hopefully help their families enjoy themselves a bit more, knowing their pets are in good hands.
When I look at it this way, I can’t think of a better way to spend the holidays.
…these are a few of your pet’s favorite things.
They are also a few of the things that can send your pet to the vet, and you remembering your favorite things isn’t going to make your furry friend feel better (or pay the bill for emergency surgery to remove a foreign object from his or her digestive tract).
I often feel like such a buzz-kill with some of what I write here, but what can I say? I’m an ounce of prevention kind of gal.
Who wants to have their holiday vibe interrupted to clean up prodigious amounts of vomit and diarrhea? While it may be tempting to share your holiday meal or treats with your pets, best just to stifle that generous urge, harden your heart against those beseeching eyes staring up at you, and have some of their pet treats on hand to offer as an alternative. Of course, this is easier said than done, and I confess to having been weak in the past. If you must share some of your people food, please do so in very small quantities and make sure it’s something that won’t upset their GI system (think meat or vegetables without a lot of seasoning). Also, bones are out, and definitley keep them away from any chocolate (and probably from any crisp apple strudel).
I think most pet owners have heard that poinsettias are toxic to pets. While this is true, I recently learned that they are only mildly toxic, and that medical treatment is rarely required. However, since we’ve already established that we’d rather not deal with vomiting and diarrhea when it can be avoided, it’s probably best to keep these plants out of reach if possible. Other holiday plants such as mistletoe and holly can be far worse for our pets if ingested; the ASPCA has compiled a comprehensive list of toxic and non-toxic plants for cats and dogs. Apparently roses with raindrops on them aren’t much of a hazard.
Tinsel: If my memory serves me correctly, I recall that my mother hated tinsel on the Christmas tree. We kids loved it, and I think my dad did, too. I’m pretty sure Mom eventually won the debate, and at some point our holidays became tinsel-free. Which is probably a good thing for the family cats, because tinsel is very hard for them to resist, and is very dangerous to them if ingested because of the liklihood of an intestinal blockage (and believe me, your cat will eventually ingest it if it’s around). In the unfortunate event that your pet does swallow some tinsel and you find out about it on its way out, here are some guidelines for how to proceed (please take note that any attempts to pull it out should be gentle, breif, and halted immediately if you encounter any resistance when you start to pull on the string).
Gift Wrapping Material: See Tinsel. Our pets explore the world with their noses and mouths, and bless their hearts, they’re often not much better than a two or three year old human at knowing what they should swallow and what they shouldn’t. So best to promptly pick up any bows, ribbons, etc.
Lights: Holiday lights are one of the best things about the season if you ask me, so I woudn’t dream of recommending not having them around. However, if a pet bites into a strand, all sorts of mayhem is likely to ensue, including a shock or burn to the pet, and an electrical fire that could burn down your home and totally ruin your holiday. Our friskier feline friends also run the risk of getting them wrapped around their neck if the strand is not securely wrapped around something. So please just keep an eye on your pets while the lights are plugged in, be sure to unplug them whenever you leave your home, and try not to have loose light strands lying/hanging around.
I’m sure there are other potential hazards I’ve failed to mention, but it’s time for me to go dream about silver white winters melting into spring. Please feel free to add any important points I may have missed in the comment section!
And sincere best wishes to all for a very happy and safe holiday season filled with your favorite people, pets, and things.
Many of us load our emergency contact’s info into our phones under “ICE” (in case of emergency) so that first responders know who to contact in the event that we are incapacitated.
I would like to suggest that you consider including your pet sitter’s information either in the note field of your ICE contact, or as a separate ICE contact, if you have not already done so. This wikipedia article points out that you can designate multiple ICE contacts, and also provides some good tips on how to make sure the ICE contacts on your phone are accessible to first responders even if the phone is locked.
I typically ask my pet sitting clients to notify me once they have returned safe and sound from their vacation, but I know that it’s easy to forget to do this. Having your pet sitter listed as one of your emergency contacts just adds an extra layer of insurance that your pet sitter will be able to continue caring for your pets in the event that you are incapacitated and unable to request it.
If the suggestion above doesn’t work for you, please make sure that your primary emergency contact has your pet sitter’s contact info.
Thanks for your consideration, and may your ICE contact never need to be utilized!
Whisker Fatigue: Fact or Feline Fake News?
The first time I heard about “whisker fatigue” was earlier this year when I visited a new client who showed me to her cat’s feeding area in the basement, where a mound of kibble sat atop a paper plate. She explained to me that she had recently learned that many cats experience discomfort when forced to eat out of deep bowls because their sensitive whiskers are being subjected to over-stimulation.
This made sense to me, and I never questioned it. In fact, when I was caring for another kitty soon after whose appetite seemed a bit off, I switched out the bowl that his owner used for a flat dinner plate, thinking that perhaps this insidious whisker fatigue was the cause (more on this later).
Having not heard of this syndrome prior to this interaction with my client, I assumed that many other cat owners may be unaware of it as well, and I figured I’d write a blog post about it.
However, in researching the topic online, I came upon an article in Boston Magazine calling the issue into question, and calling out the New York Times for perpetuating as fact something that has almost zero research to back it up. I recommend that you read both pieces and decide for yourself, but in a nutshell, the author of the Boston Magazine piece reached out to several veterinary shcools and associations, and searched a number of veterinary journals, and could find no evidence that “whisker fatigue is a real thing” other than the assertion by a general partner at a pet product company that sells feeding dishes.
I can see no harm in feeding your cat from a flat surface, beyond maybe a little more cleanup required on your part. Just do yourself a favor and don’t get suckered into paying a lot of money for a shallow pet bowl!
Hair versus Fur: What’s the Difference?
The short answer is: there is none.
It’s all nomenclature; the stuff that covers the bodies of many of our pets and their wild cousins is made up of the same stuff that covers parts of our bodies: an outgrowth of the protein keratin. We just typically call it hair when referring to it on a human body, and fur when referring to non-human mammals.
For some reason I tend to think of my cat’s hair as fur while it’s still on his body, but hair once it has become embedded in every square inch of my bedding, couch, and carpets. And I’m more inclined to think of dogs, cats, ungulates (hooved animals), and apes as having hair, whereas I always think of bunnies, bears, foxes, wolves, and beavers as having “fur” (yes, I know – foxes and wolves are dogs…it makes no sense).
Porcupine quills are greatly enlarged hairs.
Whiskers are hairs that work as sensory receptors.
Fingernails and claws, rhino horns, and the scales covering the pangolin are all made of the same stuff that hair/fur is made of: keratin.
Not all languages differentiate between hair and fur like we do in English.
Check out this Mental Floss article for more interesting facts about hair/fur.
I confess that figuring out how to use a new dog harness is one of the most challenging aspects of my job as a pet sitter. My brain just doesn’t map the process out well, and with so many different kinds of harnesses out there, it’s a sure bet that I’ll be confronted with and confounded by this on a somewhat regular basis.
I had a meet and greet recently with a Rover client* whose Boston terrier wears what I think is a “Trixie” harness. She showed me how to put it on, but I have no confidence that when it comes time for our walk this afternoon I’ll be able to do so with any grace. The client sensed my apprehension and told me that she learned recently that her regular dog walkers have been just leashing her dog at the collar because they couldn’t figure it out, so that makes me feel a little bit better.
I was hoping to find a funny video of someone as inept as I trying to put a complicated harness on a dog and failing, but alas…I could only find sober instructional videos.
But you know what there are a ton of online? Yep…videos of people trying to get their cats to wear harnesses. While I don’t condone teasing or making any animal uncomfortable for entertainment, the following video is a stellar example of how many cats react to having something placed…well, pretty much anywhere on their bodies.
* I created a Rover profile back when I first started Northwest Pets DC, hoping that I could get some side jobs/income while I built my NWPDC clientele. The client mentioned above is the first I have worked with on the Rover platform. If you are a Rover client and you are looking for the occasional walk for your dog, please feel free to look me up on Rover and book me via their site. If you are looking for regular walks or vacation stays, please contact me through NWPDC’s contact form; call 202-999-8206; or email northwestpetsdc@gmail.com.

Professional Pet Sitter vs. On-Demand Pet Service: What type of pet sitter is best for you?
If you have ever lived with a pet, chances are you’ve needed a pet sitter at some point.
When I was growing up, I don’t think that professional pet sitters were even a “thing”. It seems to me that we and everyone else we knew just asked a neighbor or relative take our pet while we were away, or to stop in and give them food and water every so often.
That paradigm has clearly changed, and the pet sitting industry is booming. This is largely due to a big increase in the number of companion animals living with us, as well as a shift in our attitudes toward our companion animals, whom we now tend to think of as family members. We also travel more frequently than we used to, and many of us dislike the idea of burdening our friends and family with repeated requests to help out. Then there’s the nagging concern, especially among those of us who are a bit more neurotic about our pet’s well-being, that our neighbors or friends may not prioritize our pet’s care to the degree we would like (I’ve experienced first-hand the disappointment of having a neighbor agree to stop in to feed my cats for just one morning, and then fail to do so).
So, the benefits of hiring a pet sitter are clear – but does it matter what kind of pet sitter you hire?
There are two main categories of pet sitters available today: traditional professional pet sitters, and on-demand pet sitters that contract with tech companies like Rover or Wag. I’ve attempted to dig into some of the pros and cons for each, and apologize in advance for the length of the post, but there are quite a few considerations. I thought about breaking this up into several posts but decided to leave it as is for the sake of continuity.
When you go the traditional professional route, your pet sitter will most likely always be the same person, so you and your pets will build a relationship with this individual, and you won’t have to wonder who is going to be coming into your home each time around. Some animals are gregarious and love meeting new people, but for many, it takes a while for them to learn to trust someone new. The consistency of having the same person visit each time is simply less stressful for many pets. This does not mean that you will necessarily get a different sitter each time if you go with an on-demand pet sitting service; you can request any sitter you’d like, and people often stick with one particular sitter. However, many of the people who contract to work for the on-demand services do so to make side money, and they may have other obligations that prevent them from always being available when you need them. I spoke with a potential client recently who was using an on-demand dog walking service, and she said that while she was satisfied with their services overall, she wasn’t crazy about having different people in her home all the time. She also had an issue when someone new neglected to read the notes in her dog’s profile stating that the dog had a torn ACL, and that she shouldn’t engage in any rigorous exercise; the dog could barely walk for several days because the walker over-exercised her. I think instances like this are probably the exception, and I’m sure most on-demand sitters are diligent and careful. However, the more different people you have coming through, the more likely it is that you’re going to get one who isn’t paying attention – it’s just basic probability.
Most professional pet sitters are insured; are licensed in states where this is a requirement; are certified in pet first aid/CPR; and many will have pursued other industry training from organizations like Pet Sitters International, National Association of Professional Pet Sitters, and Dog*Tec. There is debate within the pet sitting community as to whether industry certifications really make for a better pet sitter; some think that it is simply a good marketing tool. Either way, if your pet sitter has taken the time and money to engage in many or all of the above-mentioned best-practices, it’s a good indicator that he or she takes their job seriously and are in it for the long-haul. This is true whether you’re looking at a traditional professional sitter or an on-demand sitter. There are on-demand contractors who do pet sitting full-time and who may engage in ongoing training, but I don’t get the impression that they are in the majority. I think you’re going to be more likely to find this level of commitment in the traditional professional pet sitting community.
Both the traditional pet sitter and the on-demand pet sitter have their advantages and disadvantages in this area. For the traditional professional pet sitter, caring for pets is usually their primary source of income; they do this full-time, and don’t have other employment or school obligations that might prevent them from being available whenever you need them. On the flip side, if it’s a one-person shop, this individual only has so many hours in the day, and if they’ve built up a decent-sized clientele, their schedule may fill up, particularly on and around holidays. Here’s where the on-demand service can come in handy: If your preferred sitter isn’t available, you don’t need to do a bunch of research to find a temporary replacement, or complete a bunch of new paperwork. Your profile is already in the on-demand service’s records, and it’s just a matter of checking their site for someone whose profile appeals to you and seeing if they’re available. Of course, you have no way of knowing how good this new person will be, but in a pinch, it’s nice to know that you can probably find a replacement sitter quickly.
Most on-demand pet sitting services on the market today were founded by people in the tech industry. Their online platforms were developed with the goal of making it super easy to book a pet sitter. There is something very appealing about only having to visit one website and being able to quickly and easily search through multiple profiles. In the traditional professional pet sitting world, you’re stuck going to Yelp or Google reviews, and then slogging through each business’ website looking for pricing, credentials, and other signs that this is someone who might be a good fit for your pet sitting needs.
I do think it’s important to keep in mind that traditional professional pet sitters vary greatly in their tech, marketing, and organizational skills, so you might come across someone who is an absolutely amazing pet sitter, but who hasn’t done a great job of building their website. Conversely, Rover, Care, and Wag are pretty darn sleek, and they go to great lengths to make sure their sitters create the most appealing profiles possible. A prettier website and a flattering profile don’t necessarily mean that the person is going to be the best pet sitter, but alas, looks do seem to matter in our decision-making process.
This is the one thing that kept me up at night when I first started Northwest Pets DC. What would happen to the pets in my care if I got hit by the bus? How would I make sure their people were notified so they could arrange to have an emergency contact take over?
I’m happy to say that I was able to develop what I think is a pretty solid solution to this concern when my own pet sitter and I came to an agreement to back each other up in the event of a worst-case scenario. It’s pretty simple – my pet sitter/backup is listed as one of my ICE’s (In Case of Emergency) on my phone, and has access to my pet sitting calendar, in which each entry has contact info for my clients. So if I’m walking along and a piano falls out of a window onto my head, the paramedics will see instructions on my phone to contact my pet sitter, who can then spring into action, notify my clients, and potentially step in to take care of their pets if the clients’ emergency contact is unable to.
These are just a few of the considerations that come to my mind when thinking about the pros and cons of each type of pet sitting service. I happen to fall into both categories – I run my own professional pet sitting service, but I also have a profile on Rover.com. I confess that I have not received any inquiries via my Rover profile, but I would certainly be open to serving clients on that platform. My goal here was to try to be as unbiased as possible, and I hope I succeeded.

If you do not have umami paste and pomegranate molasses in your pantry, GO get them. Umami paste is a savory condiment every kitchen should have stocked. Umami, by definition, is one of the five categories of taste (along with sweet, sour, salt +bitter). Pomegranate molasses is a sweet, but tart syrup often used in Middle Eastern cuisine. It adds a rich, exotic, intense flavor to any dish and pairs beautifully with the savory umami and mild eggplant in this recipe.

my website www.triskelebookfairs.com is absolutely not loading, or so slow that it times out.
I am not so tech savvy, and can't determine if it is Pagelines or the wordpress causing it, but I#ve looked through the FAQ and I can't seem to find something that helps me, and now I'm combing through google. What on earth have I done????
You're using an out of date version of PageLines Framework, please update to the latest version. As we do not provide support to users running out of date products.
Also, if your site is running slow or not even loading, then you it is likely plugin related or your server environment. I recommend first updating to the latest version, then disabling all active plugins and see if this resolves your issue.
You're also running a cache plugin, if cache plugins are not configured correctly, then can cause all sorts of problems.

There are APS agencies all over the nation, and more than likely there is one near your community. If you have any issues, concerns or questions, it is always confidential and safe to contact an APS office near you. To get help or make a report, please click on the Learn More link below to find reporting contact information for your state.
Becoming a NAPSA member is an exciting opportunity for APS workers and administrators, professionals in the aging and disabilities networks, students in social service programs, or anyone committed to protecting our most vulnerable citizens. NAPSA will connect you with peers throughout the country, provide the most current training content, and keep you abreast of the latest in practice methods and policy developments.
NAPSA is pleased to provide you with a series of three briefs regarding APS. These were designed to promote community and professional understanding of APS services, processes, and limitations with the goal of increasing collaboration between APS and others needed to help identify and remedy vulnerable adult mistreatment. Please feel free to use and reference the briefs for community, professional, and academic teaching and training and other initiatives aimed at reducing victimization of vulnerable adults. Click here to access the briefs.
The concept of Adult Protective Service (APS) Abuse Registries has long been discussed and debated among APS staff, advocates, and other colleagues throughout the nation. Recognizing the varied approaches by individual states on the concept of an APS abuse registry, Robert Anderson, President of the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA) decided there was national benefit to a comprehensive and methodical review of an APS abuse registry as a potential tool to protect elders and persons with disabilities. Robert Anderson spearheaded an APS Abuse Registry Ad Hoc Committee comprised of volunteer NAPSA members throughout the country to examine the who, what, where, when, how and why of APS abuse registries. Thanks to the many volunteers under the staunch support of NAPSA’s former Assistant Director, Andy Capehart, we are proud to share with you this Adult Protective Services Abuse Registry National Report. Although there are still unanswered questions, by combining the knowledge and experience of many, we hope that this Report provides a greater understanding of the efficacy and essential fundamentals of an APS abuse registry. Visit the NAPSA Adult Protective Services Abuse Registry Project webpage for more information.
It is with great pleasure that NAPSA announces the awarding of the first NAPSA Training Certificate to Christi Hutson, an APS nurse from Visalia, California. NAPSA has been working diligently over the last few years, with the support of an Archstone Foundation grant, to develop a national APS worker certificate process. Certificates are awarded to workers who have completed all 23 core competency training modules and who have at least two years of APS experience. With the awarding of the first certificate, the work of the NAPSA Education and Certification Committees comes to fruition. Congratulations Christi! Thanks go to everyone who worked so hard on this project. Visit the national NAPSA Certificate Program web page to learn more.

Photos by Kelly McDaniel Photography Recipe for a toddler meltdown……hot day, mommy forgets your snack, and you SEE the ocean….so all you want is to go play in the water. Don't worry, we hit up the beach right after these pictures…..I'm not THAT mean!
Remember when I shared the Mommy and Me Boho pictures I took with my friend Sandy? Well, here are the other pictures we shot on the Santa Monica pier. I have to admit, these matching ball skirts were so FUN! Honestly, I'll be wearing mine to every single holiday party this year. Shabby Apple knocked it out of the park…..it's light and comfy and was the perfect compliment to our adorable graphic tees!
When these adorable tees from Baby Truth arrived in the mail, Sandy and I chatted about what to pair them with. We talked about jeans, leggings…..but they seemed like they deserved something special. They're super soft, and the letters have just the right hint of glitter. They're comfy, totally on trend and made by a mother-daughter duo (perfect for us, right?) The best part? They're so versatile, they looked just as perfect with these ball skirts as they did with the jeans I wore with them for the rest of the day!
Don't forget to head over to Sandy's blog to see more pictures of her and Lydia's new bestie Vivian! Shop the Post……….
I love, love, love those graphic tees! And how fun are those skirts? I would just want to twirl around in one all day!
I ADORE the matching tees!
Oh my gosh, how cute are you four?!
Oh my gosh, those t’s! And wow, those skirts are beautiful!
How adorable are those little babes?! Loving your skirts ladies!
Super cute! I love those skirts – looks like I’ll be making a visit to the Shabby Apple website.
So cute!! I love to see you and Sandy both in one place! I didn’t know you guys were friends in real life. Adorable shoot! Loving the graphic tees.
SOO FUN! I love meeting blogger peeps. All of you look beautiful!
OMG I”M OBSESSED! I love everything about this look!
O M G I am obsessed! How adorable!
I love the idea of the printed tees with the ball skirts – what a fun idea!
Beyond precious. Love the grand skirt with a fun graphic tee.
Aww ,,, so cute and fun! Thanks so much for linking up with Fun Fashion Friday!

On Tuesday, June 28, Photographer Deborah O’Grady and I will be presenting our work on Messiaen’s piece, From the Canyons to the Stars at the 2016 Jung Society for Scholarly Studies Conference, Earth/Psyche: Foregrounding Earth’s Relations to Psyche (Sunday evening, June 26-Wednesday evening, June 29, 2016).
My talk will amplify the consciousness Messiaen affords through his masterpiece, a consciousness which appears similar to that of the native Southern Paiute, a consciousness that is imperative that we develop if we are to live in balance with the earth.
We will send more information as we have it, but consider attending the conference which will be held at the La Fonda Hotel on the Plaza in Sante Fe, New Mexico. For more information and registration, contact JSSS.

The Office of Civic Engagement connects Rutgers University–Camden to communities beyond the campus. Working with community partners, we support efforts to meet the challenges facing our host city, county, and region through engaged civic learning, volunteerism and service, community-based research, and integrated efforts and partnerships.We are the starting point for Rutgers–Camden students, faculty, and staff who want to connect with our community partners and help to meet their needs. We are also the first point of contact for organizations, government agencies, schools, and others who believe working in partnership with Rutgers–Camden would help them reach their goals.Short description of project: There is a breadth of literature that indicates that participation in engaged civic learning courses enhances many of the professional competencies that are highly desired by employers. What is missing is a compact compilation of these materials that can be used by the Office of Civic Engagement, Career Center, and Student Experience Center to share information about these competencies and promote participation in curricular and co-curricular civic engagement activities. Therefore, students in this class should compile and design an infographic and other marketing materials that fill this void. Materials should also be informed by and reflect the perspective of students on our campus. In order to meet this requirement, teams should conduct informal research to identify student priorities and potential challenges related to participation in ECL courses and other community-focused activities.Desired outcome: The development of high-quality promotional materials that explain the professional benefits of participation in civic engagement activities.Evaluation criteria: Visual appeal of materials developed, effective use of both existing literature and Rutgers-Camden student feedback to develop materials.
