Littelfuse, Inc. introduced two new series of its popular NANO2® Subminiature Fuse, each of which provides surge tolerance and circuit protection against overload conditions for downstream components. Both feature highly compact surface mountable packages for high design flexibility in space-constrained applications; the SMT design supports higher placement speed and higher yields during product manufacturing. With a 1206 (3.15 x1.5 mm) footprint, the 470 Series Fuse is the smallest 125 VAC-rated surface-mountable fuse available in the Littelfuse portfolio; it is designed mainly to serve as primary side circuit protection in compact applications with high AC voltage requirements. It has outstanding performance characteristics, including high breaking capacity and unparalleled I2t values. The 476 Series is a family of 250VAC-rated surface mountable fuses in a compact 2410 (6.10 mm x 2.69 mm) footprint.
It is the smallest SMT fuse with this high voltage rating and, like the 470 Series, is designed for primary side circuit protection in compact devices with high voltage requirements. The 476 Series operates at extreme temperatures without excessive sacrifices on current re-rating. It is available in the highest number of amperage ratings at the rated voltages, up to 5 A rated to 250 V, compared to only up to the 2 A rating currently available in the market. Typical applications for the 470 and 476 Series include LED lighting, LCD/LED TVs, white goods (major household appliances), notebooks/PCs and power supply units.
· Operate effectively at extreme temperatures, without excessive sacrificing on current re-rating.
· Available in the highest number of amperage ratings at the rated voltages.
· Pass the IEC61000-4-5 2 ed. Surge Immunity test (476 Series, 3 A and above ampere rating only) and ENERGY STAR® (470 Series, 1.5A and above ampere rating only) requirements, which makes them optimal choices for LED lighting applications.
· Tested extensively to open safely at the specified interrupt ratings, especially at 86VDC/10KA.
The 470 Series NANO2® Subminiature Fuse is available in quantities of 1,500 and the 476 Series NANO2® Subminiature Fuse is available in quantities of 1,000, both in tape and reel packaging.

In Cecil Pennsylvania 15321, all Medicare supplement standardized plans are offered to qualified individuals under the age of 65 and/or to Medicare-qualified individuals due to disability or end-stage renal disease. In some states, a limited selection of Medicare supplement standardized plans is available to such individuals.
Medicare.gov provides tools that will allow you to compare plans in Cecil PA 15321 Washington county, but the decision is complicated. Insurance agent Graves recommends that you “work with a licensed insurance agent who can show you both Medicare Supplement Plans and Advantage Plans from multiple companies. Each type has its positives.” The questions to cover, he says: “You need to understand the costs, doctor networks, coverage levels and maximum out-of-pocket for each. Enroll in what suits your situation best.” Organizations such as Consumer Reports and the Medicare Rights Center can also help you research your decision.

It is truly amazing that we have an opportunity to communicate with the Creator of the Universe. God allows sinful humans to talk with Him. What an awesome privilege. Sadly many of us don’t bother to pray or hardly at all.
Prayer is communication between us and our Heavenly Father. We can pray verbally or non-verbally. It’s important to remember that communication is a two way street. Far too often after we are done speaking, we just leave and never give God a chance to respond. It is sad that many Christians don't take advantage of this wonderful privilege we have of being able to communicate with the Creator of all heaven and earth. Thankfully we can change and begin to communicate the our Father in heaven.
There are different types of prayer. Intercession, worship and petition are three types of prayer. With intercession we pray on behalf on another person. Perhaps for their salvation, physical or financial needs. Petition is where we bring our requests before the Lord. Petitions are not only material needs but spiritual needs. We all need to pray for God direction and wisdom in our lives. With worship we have an opportunity to express worship,praises and adoration to our Lord Jesus.
Prayer, that is communication, is necessary to establish and enrich our relationship with our Heavenly Father. To have a deepening relationship with someone there needs to be communication. We can pray verbally or non-verbally. It’s important to remember communication is a two way street. Too often after we are done speaking we just leave and never give God a chance to respond. God wants to develop a deep relationship with us, and pray is a primary way of accomplishing that.
Morning - In Mark 1:35 we read of Jesus getting up early in the morning to pray.
Night - In Luke 6:12 we read of Jesus praying at night.
Prayers do get answered!! However, prayers may not be answered in the way would like them to be answered. The Lord may grant our request, and we should be thankful to Him. We should also be grateful if the answer is no. The Lord always knows what is best for us, we should also be thankful when he determines the request should be no.
Remember, Our Father always knows best!!!!

Maple Holistics: Tea Tree Shampoo!
Most people who have autoimmune disease struggle with fatigue. I happen to really suffer from it. I drink 2 cups of coffee a day, try to keep a regular sleep schedule, and still am tired. It’s been really hard to work out even for just 10 minutes because I get tired and weak so fast….

I figure it’s about time I start posting some recipes. You spoke, and I listened… I can’t count the number of times people have requested more recipes – well, here goes!
I decided to call these “Tilapia Tacos” instead of fish tacos. Saying “fish taco” always makes me giggle. Yes, I know, immature.
When I was in Edmonton for the CBBF Nationals this year, the boy went on the hunt for some food and found a little Mexican restaurant not far from the Westin Edmonton hotel called Tres Carnales. He brought some fish tacos (he he he, I just can’t help myself) back to the hotel for me, which I devoured after pre-judging. In short: DELICIOUS! Probably the best tacos I’ve ever had.
Last night, we attempted to recreate that day – the tacos, not the competition.
1 package taco shells (hard or soft) – if you can find authentic corn hard or soft taco shells, use those instead.
Season tilapia filets with taco seasoning.
Heat oil in a 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Place fish in the frying pan and cook until it flakes easily – about 4 minutes per side. I like to cook it really well so that the seasoning crisps up slightly. Remove from heat and cut into bite size pieces. You may find that the fish falls apart in the frying pan. That’s no problem, your work is already done for you!
Heat taco shells in preheated oven until crisp, approx. 5 minutes.
In a bowl, mix yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, and salt together. Stir in coleslaw mix, cilantro, and jalepeno.
Spoon about 1/4 cup fish and 1/4 cup coleslaw mixture into each taco shell. Top with diced tomato.
Just made this. Too. Damn. Good. I won’t go back to plain coleslaw after trying your mix. I used cod instead and added homemade guac. I am trying really hard not to eat the rest. Well done!
Well done to you! I love that you’ve made two of my recipes in less than a week!! – and definitely gotta have guacamole!!! That sh!?’s good on everything!

Mr. Bolt is now one of the great, and most thrilling, Olympians - so it seems odd that the Olympics boss has chastised him for being too showy on the track. A bit like, yes, trying to keep lightning in a bottle, or accusing Mozart of using too many notes. While the world cheered, apparently, this dour pencil-pusher fumed. Anyway, given the overblown spectacle of the Olympics opening ceremonies, it seems like a Kubrick "war room" paradox to ask the great Jamaican sprinter to slow his antics down to a mediocre pace. So long as he respects the other competitors, he should be allowed to strut his stuff after crossing the finishing line - I suppose what galls the official is that Bolt is the first man in history to actually celebrate while competing, and still win.
Good for Bolt, and so much for the po-faced Belgian knight. But what's interesting about Bolt's dance is the intimate association of sport and music in Jamaican popular culture in a way that just doesn't happen in the UK. Nuh Linger is currently #1 in the JA charts. Have any UK athletes been celebrating their swimming and cycling victories by dancing to, er, Katy Perry?

can anyone tell where I might look to find parts for a 1950-51 Atlas 8" table saw 3020? I have browsed the internet and searched on ebay but the closest I get is an instruction manual. Any help would really be appreciated.
This 10" saw was made by Atlas Press around 1940. I am interested in any info or parts that may be available, especially a fence.

Packets of pitcher seeds! If you're patient and meticulous, growing from seed is a good way to dramatically expand your pitcher garden.
Sarracenia Flava var. ornata "#2" x flava "blush and vein" is an attractive cross of two very nice trumpet pitchers. Both parents have excellent growth habit and chartreuse coloration with veins. These seeds were produced by hand-pollination by Ricky Waite. Very limited supply!

Sometimes you need to transport something extremely important – your embryos or gametes, but finding a responsible embryo transport may become a complicated challenge.
The reasons may vary. Some people want to change the clinic because of the disappointment by the treatment results or losing the connection with the physician, another change the country because of the job and would like to continue treatment in local facilities. It may be caused by legal restrictions in the first country (surrogacy, for example), with no limitations in another one. The patients do not want to depend on one clinic for the whole life, and it is correct: everyone must have a right to choose.
In all these cases patients need to find embryo transports for their gametes or embryos from one clinic to another with the highest demand for safety. Whether material is moved to another street or another country is no matter. The gametes and embryos are priceless and very often irreplaceable. It is a frequent situation when the embryos are not numerous, if a person gets chemotherapy, the cells will become sole.
That is why it is better to entrust to the professionals in embryo carry. We will bring you material from door to door, from clinic to clinic with maximum safety. We use special mobile dry shippers which keep the temperature of liquid nitrogen (-196 C) for one month. Of course, a standard trip is much shorter but precaution is never redundant.
We do not approve sending the biological material via post in a parcel. It can be damaged, lost or delivered not in time. Only embryo carrying by a special courier can guarantee the material will be brought safely and timely.
Our medical couriers are with the dry shipper for 24-hours. If the air flight is necessary, the dry shipper will be placed in the cabin (not in the luggage) preventing it from any harm. The X-raying will also be avoided because biological samples are very sensitive to irradiation.
We know all the details of customs clearance and will manage with the necessary papers.

The total number of data centers around the world will peak at 8.6 million in 2017, and then begin a slow decline, predicts IDC.
The change will be fuelled by mass migration from small, on-premise facilities run by internal IT teams to ‘mega data centers’ operated by large service providers. Worldwide datacenter space will continue to increase, growing from 1.58 billion square feet in 2013 to 1.94 billion square feet in 2018.
Earlier this week, Cisco’s Cloud Index drew similar conclusions, predicting that by 2018, more than three quarters of data center workloads will be running in cloud data centers.
When you look closely, the change in the industry is not a decline at all – IDC says all types of data centers except for on-premise server rooms and closets will continue growing throughout the forecast period.
The shift is blamed on the changing role of the corporate data center. Where before, it supported business operations, today it is increasingly used to test new business models, improve products and support a meaningful relationship with the customer.
The infrastructure that enables these complex operations needs to be flexible, dependable and able to scale quickly – something that’s hard to achieve in-house, where additional equipment has to be bought and installed before it can be used.
“Over the next five years, a majority of organizations will stop managing their own infrastructure,” explained Richard Villars, VP of data center and cloud research at IDC. “They will make greater use of on-premise and hosted managed services for their existing IT assets, and turn to dedicated and shared cloud offerings in service provider datacenters for new services.
IDC says the importance of ‘mega data centers’ built by the likes of Amazon and Microsoft will continue to increase. In terms of space, by 2018 such facilities will account for 72.6 percent of all service provider data center construction projects.
The number of high performance data center environments operated internally is also set to grow, especially in China.

They keep winning off the field in Washington.
He is the son of head coach Jay Gruden.
Team spokesman Tony Wyllie issued the usual perfunctory statement regarding the arrest.
According to the team website, Jack Gruden joined in a full-time basis in 2018.
Daddy gonna take away that video assistant job with the Skins he gave you.
I should say he better. Who knows with the Grudens.
He was going shot-for-shot with ex-GM Scot McCloughan, can’t keep up with the professionals!
That’s like getting a ticket for going 75 in a 60 zone. Everyone does it. The sun will come up tomorrow.
Nepotism is flat out RAMPANT in the NFL. Guys who have NO BUSINESS working on a NFL Coaching staff get these jobs SOLELY because of who their Daddy is not because they’re qualified, the NFL is NOT a meritocracy that’s for sure. Any NFL Head-Coach w/ a loser son has him working on the staff from Andy Reid’s drug addicted sons, Bill Belichecks kids, Grudens kids all the way up to the Pacific Northwest where Pete Carroll employs his skill-less sons. The quickest way to an NFL job is to share DNA with someone whos already on staff.
@hawkkiller, that’s life, deal with it. It’s not the end of the world. How do you qualify “guys who have NO BUSINESS”? I mean, it’s the NFL, it’s a kids game played by adults, how qualified do you need to be? We’re not talking about higher math or something that requires deep thinking, it’s football.
Nepotism is pretty rampant everywhere. Not just the NFL. It ain’t going away.
Drunk in pub lick. Just like tater salad!
It sounds like Jack’s trying out for the team.
Nepotism is flat out RAMPANT in the NFL….
You must be new to the working world, or maybe not working, if you are concerned about nepotism being rampant in the NFL. Better get used to it, nepotism is rampant everywhere in every business.
At least the Skins have some post season news!
It seems like Jack befriends all of the young stars on the team. Kinda weird to see, but I cant say that I wouldn’t do the same if I was in his position. I remember when he was besties with Sua Cravens, and last year he followed Guice around like a puppy dog.
Grudens gonna Gruden…Chuckles’ son works for the Raiders, let’s see if he tries to top his cousin.

Cameron Kelsall is a freelance writer based in Haddon Township, New Jersey. We talked about knowing when to speak up, the competitive job market for cultural critics, and reminding publications to always pay their staff writers. Check out his portfolio and follow him on Twitter to learn more about his work.
When and why did you start freelancing?
I started freelancing eight years ago, when I was still in college. I’d written for both my high school and college newspapers and felt like I had something to say, so I decided to put out some feelers. A couple of my pitches got accepted, and that lit the fire that’s still going today. My freelancing has ebbed and flowed over the years — at different points when I was in grad school or working a full-time job, I just didn’t have the time or the desire. But for the last two years or so, it’s been full speed ahead.
What do you enjoy about freelancing?
I like that I’m able to develop my own stories. I can focus on the issues that are important to me as a writer. I’ve never had a full-time job writing about what I “love” to write about. I enjoy writing about arts, theater, and music. It’s difficult to find a full-time job. It was difficult ten years ago; it’s even more difficult now. I’ve found that as those jobs dwindle, freelance work picks up. It’s been a windfall for freelancers. It’s been great to gain experience and put together a portfolio of writing I’m proud of.
Chasing down money is hard — having someone accept your pitch and never follow up, or pitching something and then seeing something eerily similar show up. That happened to me not that long ago and I was disappointed and angry about it. It can feel demoralizing because all we have is our ideas and words. When someone takes that, it feels like a personal kind of theft.
What advice do you have for someone frustrated with not getting paid?
Try to be persistent. If you have to make yourself a nuisance to get your money, do it. These are people, in most of the experiences I’ve had, who would never think to not pay their full-time staff. Remind them of that, especially if you’re a full-time freelancer and this is your primary form of income.
You’ve been published in the Broad Street Review, Phindie, and Talkin’ Broadway. Which story are you most proud of?
Recently, I wrote an essay for Broad Street Review that I was really proud of. It was a cultural criticism on theater critic Hedy Weiss from Chicago, who has a long history of saying problematic stuff about race, gender, sexuality, and marginalized people. Her review really wasn’t about the play [Pass Over]; it was about white fragility.
I found that a lot of theater critics, especially those who are established, are reluctant to say anything about her writing and ideas. Either they have a misguided idea that maybe they’re saying something to make the pitchforks come out or they try to put it as a First Amendment issue, which it’s not. I thought, “nobody is writing this essay, so I’m going to have to write it.” And my essay became [Broad Street Review’s] most-shared article in the last six or seven years.
What values are important to you as a writer?
Honesty is number one. The great thing about being freelancer is being able to pick and choose. I try not to spend time on stories I’m not passionate about, even when it comes to reviewing theater. Sometimes I feel like I don’t have anything to say about something. Making sure that my reader knows I’m connected to every story that I write is important to me. I think it shows in the writing.
What message do you have for millennial freelancers?
Don’t be afraid to take up space. Don’t be afraid that people will think you’re not serious because you’re 23 or 24. Pitch. Follow up. Write.
Show people with your writing how good you are and make it impossible for them not to hire you. Make it so that they want your byline in their publication. I feel like the best way to do that is to focus on the stories that really move and speak to you. Get rid of this idea that a journalist a 40-year-old man in a suit and tie.
Danielle Corcione is Founder of The Millennial Freelancer, a compilation of interviews with freelance writers and editors to uncover and overcome the issues affecting the modern freelance world.

"I left off to watch, and be sober; I laid the reins upon the neck of my lusts; I sinned against the light of the Word, and the goodness of God."
"This conceit would loosen the reines of our lust, and tollerate us to live as we list."
""And tho' all Joys have left me far behind, / I'll chew the Cudd of Pleasure in my Mind, / And so at least in Thought I will be Young again."
"O'er the broad lands, and cross the tide, / On fancy's airy horse I ride, / (Sweet rapture of the mind!) / Till on the banks of Ganges' flood, / In a tall ancient grove I stood / For sacred use design's."
"It would take up a larger Volume than this whole Work is intended to be, to set down all the Contrivances I hatch'd, or rather brooded upon in my Thought."
"My soul is like a wilderness, / Where beasts of midnight howl; / There the sad raven finds her place, / And there the screaming owl."
"His Words I must confess fir'd my Blood; all my Spirits flew about my Heart, and put me into Disorder enough."

RootTech 2014, an event that you can not miss !
It is in Salt Lake City (Utah), from the 6 to 8 of February that will host the exhibition of genealogy and technology.
My name is Jean-François Dagenais, genealogy fascinates me and I try to trace the exploits of my ancestor Pierre Dagenais, who trod the soil of Ville-Marie (New France) to 1653.
Please read and pass this on to all you can.
Papers books and data is headed to demise if we do not join together and act. I have contacted: NGS, NEHGS, Newspapers.com, Genealogy Bank. NGS is going to follow up. Of course it is a weekend.
I asked for Permission it was granted please read data below.
Hi Hazel, I did find the newspaper article regarding Mrs. Susan Bostick and Mrs William Bostick. It is not possible for this William to be the twin brother of Joel but a possible link to consider in our future research.
I have been reading about the concept of “Happiness Jars.” In Elizabeth Gilbert’s blockbuster memoir “Eat, Pray, Love” she started a project where she would write down things that have made her happy each day on little slips of paper and put them in this large glass jar. By doing so every day, eventually her jar would overflow with happiness.
New Year is Here, Are You Ready?
The New Year is here, are you ready? Have you set at least one goal to accomplish regarding your genealogy?

MAYOR MICHAEL BLOOMBERG (R), NEW YORK CITY: I think we did take appropriate action.
WITT: Why are local and federal governments still not on the same page?
Harriet Miers should, quote, "step aside." The harshest language yet from a Miers detractor, conservative commentator William Kristol.
Could there an new nominee for queen of England soon? We'll introduce to you Prince William's special lady friend.
And baby burping, the Scientology way. The mother may not scream during labor, because it may traumatize the baby. Good luck with that, tomcat.
And how Fido got his groove back. Sure, the International Atomic Energy agency won the Nobel Peace Prize. But they didn't invent prosthetic dog testicles. Tonight, your Interesting Noble prize recipients.
Good evening. I'm Alex Witt, in for Keith Olbermann tonight.
On a day when a suspicious soda bottle can cause part of Pennsylvania Station in New York City to be sealed off, the question of credibility is still center stage.
Our fifth story on the Countdown tonight, the so-called specific threats against New York City subways. Homeland Security officials have said the threat is of, quote, "doubtful credibility," but other law enforcement officials have described an ominous plot between al Qaeda operatives in Iraq and New York.
Meanwhile, it was not a vast terrorist conspiracy, but rather a soda bottle that caused a false alarm in Penn Station today. A green liquid was oozing from that bottle. Authorities now say it was probably a dumb prank.
Our correspondent Mike Taibbi has more on the city's readiness and its residents' reaction. Mike?
MIKE TAIBBI, MSNBC CORRESPONDENT: Alex, for New York City subway riders, it was a mix of defiance and a touch of the jitters as heightened security accompanied what the mayor said was the first terror threat aimed directly at the city's subway system.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Stand clear of the closing doors, please.
TAIBBI (voice-over): As he said he would, New York's subway-riding mayor got to work his usual way.
BLOOMBERG: (INAUDIBLE) touch pass run at rush hour, but the train was reasonably full.
TAIBBI: And, as the mayor had announced the day before, there were more random bag searches and more plainclothes and uniformed police. Some, the Hercules team, was carrying automatic weapons visible in every corner of the system, a response the mayor said he'd order again.
BLOOMBERG: If I've got to make a mistake, it's going to be on the side of protecting the people of this city.
TAIBBI: There's been no corroboration of the threat's ominous details, a dozen or more collaborators prepared to carry bombs into the subway system in briefcases, backpacks, even baby strollers. But police commissioner Ray Kelly said those details, following attacks in London in July and Madrid last year, could not be ignored.
MICHAEL KELLY, NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER: Precisely what should have been done in this situation with the information that we had.
TAIBBI: There were a number of reports today about suspicious packages, all false alarms. And while riders didn't dismiss the threat.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, I think it should be taken seriously.
TAIBBI: There was no shortage of New Yorkers who said they were dealing with it, like, well, like New Yorkers.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: After a point, it's to scare us. And I'm not scared.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If it's going to happen, it's going to happen.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm taking the (INAUDIBLE). I don't scare for nobody.
TAIBBI: While there were no hard statistics available, without question, some of the more than 3 million daily subway riders found other ways to get around town.
This bus driver said his business was booming.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I carried twice as many people as I normally do.
TAIBBI: And Harry and Monica Pincus (ph), whose daughter usually takes the subway home, took their car out of the garage instead.
HARRY PINCUS, NEW YORK CITY RESIDENT: I'm not as courageous, perhaps, as our mayor. I'm going to pick up my daughter from school. I really don't want her on the subway right now.
TAIBBI (on camera): President Bush weighed in with support for city officials, including the mayor, saying that in going public and in ratcheting up security to the max, they made the decisions they thought were necessary, Alex.
WITT: Mike Taibbi, many thanks.
New York City not the only place on edge today. The Washington Monument was evacuated. And in Philadelphia, the morning rush hour was temporarily disrupted. The Market East train station in downtown Philadelphia was evacuated after police canines reacted to a backpack being carried by an individual there. The regional train lines that run through the station were temporarily halted while police investigated. The city's bomb squad was also called in, but the backpack contained only a small propane connector for camping. And it was to be safe. Rail service returned to normal.
It was a bomb threat that cleared out the Washington Monument today, the threat called in to D.C. Metropolitan Police. The monument was closed for nearly two hours, but officials found nothing suspicious, and it was reopened this afternoon. While officials described the credibility of that threat as low, they didn't want to take any chances.
The credibility of the terror threat against New York was dubbed as doubtful by Homeland Security officials. But other law enforcement officials have described a plot targeting New York, based on evidence in Iraq. And while the reliability of that information is hard to establish, it left Mayor Michael Bloomberg with a choice that was, for him, a simple one.
And as our correspondent Pete Williams reports, even when there's no evidence that an attack is imminent, its details are often too ominous to ignore.
PETE WILLIAMS, MSNBC JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Though some U.S. intelligence analysts consider the threat to be of doubtful credibility, Mayor Bloomberg emphasized today, he had a decision to make for a city of 8 million.
BLOOMBERG: It is very different being an analyst in Washington looking at data, as opposed to being here in New York, where you have to take responsibility to protect people's lives.
WILLIAMS: Law enforcement officials say the subway warning came last weekend from a longtime informant helping the U.S. in Iraq. He said chemists and pharmacists there would travel to New York through Syria, join up with terrorists already in the U.S., and attack the subway in mid-October.
The informant gave specific names, and that led the U.S. to a house south of Baghdad in Musayyib, a town repeatedly terrorized by Sunni insurgents. Wednesday night, two of the men named by the informant were arrested there, one with documents that investigators say made references to New York City. The third was picked up today.
With those specifics, a security expert says, New York's response made sense.
DAVID HEYMAN, SECURITY EXPERT: Given that, they decided this was as significant a threat as they had seen in all of the information that's - that they've seen, and that's why they went and raised the alert.
WILLIAMS: And yet there were also reasons to be skeptical. Officials say the informant had warned of a dozen attack plots in the U.S. in the past, and all turned out to be unfounded. And round-the-clock investigations since last weekend have found no evidence that any of the supposed plotters made it to New York.
(on camera): Tonight, investigators are chasing new leads developed from the arrests in Iraq, but with no confirmation yet that any plan of attack was in the final phases.
WITT: And then there is President Bush's speech yesterday on terrorism. He used that opportunity to return to some of his favorite themes and most faithful enemies. Osama bin Laden was mentioned repeatedly.
But there was also an assertion by the president on just how many terror plots had been thwarted since 9/11. According to the president, that number is 10.
GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Overall, the United States and her partners have disrupted at least 10 serious al Qaeda terrorist plots since September 11, including three al Qaeda plots to attack inside the United States.
We've stopped at least five more al Qaeda efforts to case targets in the United States or infiltrate operatives into our country.
WITT: The White House later released a list of those plots, including two 9/11-style attacks that it says were disrupted over the past four years. First of all, in 2002, an effort to hijack airplanes to attack West Coast targets. Also in 2002, the Jose Padilla plot, possibly involving a dirty bomb. And in 2003, another airliner plot, this one back on the East Coast. The other terror plots on that list were on foreign soil, but they included London's Heathrow Airport.
I'm joined right now by MSNBC terrorism expert Roger Cressey. Roger, good evening. Nice to see you.
ROGER CRESSEY, MSNBC TERRORISM EXPERT: Good to see you too, Alex.
WITT: Want to back up a minute with you. This, first of all, to the threat in New York. We've gotten some mixed messages here over the past 24 hours just on the credibility of that threat. What is your assessment, based on your sources?
CRESSEY: Well, I think anytime NYPD thinks they have credible intelligence, and they're going to act on it, you should take them at their word.
Alex, there are four questions you ask when you look at terrorism reporting. Is it specific? Is it credible? Can we corroborate it? And is it imminent? And in the case of this threat, it was both specific and it was imminent.
So when you get yesses to two out of the four, there's an obligation by law enforcement and local authorities to act upon it.
WITT: OK, but there were also, Rog, as you know, reports that local officials, they knew of this threat as early as Monday, but they did not take it to the public until yesterday. That's Thursday. We've got three days of a lapse there. What's the thinking behind that?
CRESSEY: Well, they believed that the threat was imminent in terms of it happening today. That's why they had the announcement yesterday. But it was important for them to take several days to do work inside the area, to make sure their intelligence assets were deployed appropriately, to make sure they were gathering any other information they needed.
So often, you're not going to make a public announcement until you believe you're within that window of a potential attack, regardless of what questions you may have about the credibility of the information.
WITT: Roger, if the intelligence about a plot against New York subways is indeed coming out of Iraq, what does that say about Iraq as a possible staging area for terrorism?
CRESSEY: Well, set the specific plot aside, Alex. But the key unintended consequence of the war in Iraq is terrorism. There is a greater terrorist presence in Iraq now than there was when Saddam was in power. There's a new cadre of jihadis. They're training today on the battlefields in Iraq in urban warfare. And if they survive that experience, they could then go back home and either create new terror cells or join existing ones.
This is the global Sunni extremist movement that is being energized by the Iraq war. That is the long-term strategic challenge for us, and it is the greatest unintended consequence.
WITT: OK, so does this all work in the president's favor?
CRESSEY: Well, that's a good question. I'm not sure how it works in the president's favor in the long term. In the short term, as long as there's not an attack in the United States, then he can say quite correctly that during his time in office, since 9/11, he has prevented, or his administration has prevented, additional attacks.
And what we'll never know the answer to, while he's in power, is, how much of effect the Iraq war will have over the long term, Alex. you know, the case, when you have Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and some of the al Qaeda people who were involved in 9/11 bombings, it took them years to prepare, years to get to the point where they could conduct these attacks.
So even after we leave Iraq, but from a military perspective, we will still have a terrorist threat that will face us.
WITT: OK, Roger, I want to get to these preventative attacks you've been talking about. There's 10 major terror plots that the president says have indeed been foiled since 9/11. What are the most significant elements of that disclosure?
CRESSEY: Well, there's a key theme throughout, which is, Al Qaeda and its affiliates still look at airliners as a preferred attack vehicle.
When I was still in government, we were very worried about the foreign flag carrier threat. That is, a aircraft hijacked overseas and then brought into the United States. Or worse yet, the pilots being the actual hijackers, coming from overseas locations. And I think there was some serious worry about that in the 2002, 2003 time frame.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, we believe, was behind at least one, if not both of those plots before he was apprehended.
So the lesson here, of course, is, they're still coming after us inside the United States.
WITT: But Roger, when you think about all the security and all the money we've spent on beefing up the security in the airlines and at the airports, when you beard a plane, do you feel nervous?
CRESSEY: I don't feel nervous. But I tell you what, I size up everybody in the cabin in a way I didn't do before 9/11. And I think most people do that.
I think what you have to look at from a threat perspective is, making sure we do not spend too much time dealing with the last threat. What are the new threats? How is al Qaeda and the al Qaeda movement evolving? How are they adapting to our defenses and identifying new vulnerabilities and seams that they can exploit?
That's the responsibility of the Homeland Security Department, to think proactively and think forward. And that's what I hope they're doing.
WITT: OK. Roger, when so much of the information remains classified, is it ever easy to verify whether or not the U.S., as well as its allies, have actually disrupted a plot, or if it was just sort of early-stage chatter? And really, how important is that distinction anyway?
CRESSEY: It's very tough to prove a negative, unless you wrap up the cell, unless you arrest individuals who are about to conduct these attacks. I mean, one part of deterrence, of course, is, making sure people decide not to conduct an attack. So unless you wrap them up, you may never know.
But the part of a good defense which is very important is projecting to potential adversaries that we are on alert, we have a capability in place, and it's not going to be very easy for them to attack us.
WITT: OK, Roger Cressey, MSNBC terror analyst. Always a pleasure to speak with you. Thanks for your time.
CRESSEY: OK, Alex, thank you.
WITT: The conservative pinata that is the Harriet Miers nomination suffered a direct hit today, a call from the right for her to take herself out of the running for the high court.
And later, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are expecting. Aww. But is Katie prepared for childbirth? Whoops, there's having a baby, and then there's having a baby the Scientology way. Eeeuw.
WITT: White House counsel and Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers has spent this past week charging the Hill in an effort to rally the confidence of conservatives, still very reluctant to back her.
That somewhat surprising and certainly overwhelming backlash against the president's latest high court pick by his base is our fourth story on the Countdown tonight.
Today, Ms. Miers' nomination was sent to the Senate, thus making her nomination official. Ironically, it's the very same day that George W. Bush could no longer avoid reacting to the W word. Asked if he might consider withdrawing Ms. Miers' name from consideration, the president responded, quote, "She is going to be on the bench. She'll be confirmed."
That's not a view shared, however, by many members of what is now being characterized as the conservative rebellion.
WILLIAM KRISTOL, EDITOR, "THE WEEKLY STANDARD": I just think it is a mistake. And it's a mistake that could be rectified by Ms. Miers deciding that it might be for the good of her president if she stepped aside.
This is not a White House staff appointment. This is not a cabinet appointment, where he is owed a huge amount of deference, he can pick his own people. This is the Supreme Court of the United States. He gets two appointments during his presidency, maybe a third. He's got to put on people of real distinction, and with a real track record, I think, to change the direction of the court. That's something conservatives have worked for for so many years. And to put on an unknown, I just think is wrong.
WITT: Well, that reluctance may not be without historical justification. In fact, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions calling it, quote, "the Souter factor," named for the appointment of Supreme Court Justice David Souter by the first President Bush. He assured his choice would toe the conservative line. Oops. It seems what is true of any new hire applies particularly well to those getting lifetime gigs. There are always surprises.
BRIAN WILLIAMS, MSNBC NEWS (voice-over): He was a little-known judge, but president George Herbert Walker Bush had been assured the quiet man from New Hampshire was a conservative thinker.
GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: And I am satisfied I've found the very best.
WILLIAMS: It turns out that Justice David Souter has turned into one of the most dependable votes on the liberal side of the current Supreme Court. That was a surprise to the Bush family.
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, NBC NEWS PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: George Bush, the elder, was promised that Souter's nomination would be a home run for conservatives. Didn't happen that way. But something we also sometimes don't think about, Brian, is that people evolve. You know, these are very ambitious people before they get on the court, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten to that level.
WILLIAMS: President Eisenhower was once asked, What's the biggest mistake you ever made as president? His answer, appointing Earl Warren as chief justice, something he called a damn-fool mistake. Warren turned out to be a liberal lion of the bench. Ike said his second-biggest mistake was appointing Justice William Brennan, who was, in many ways, more liberal than Warren.
It's tough to predict how justices will rule, in part because we don't know what they'll be asked to rule on.
PROF. CASS SUNSTEIN, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO LAW SCHOOL: We might have new issues involving information technologies, for example, or new questions arising out of the war on terror, or new issues arising out of natural disasters that can't be anticipated.
WILLIAMS (on camera): How powerful is having a seat on the Supreme Court in American society?
WILLIAMS (voice-over): President Kennedy's pick for the court, Justice Byron White, turned into a surprise. President Ford, a Republican, appointed John Paul Stevens, who, right now, heads up the liberal wing of the court.
Justices will always change, right to left and left to right. Some theorize that knowing they have their jobs for life has a way of freeing up their thinking.
LINDA GREENHOUSE, SUPREME COURT HISTORIAN: The framers of the Constitution had a very novel idea. Most constitutional courts in the world don't have life tenure. It's not the norm. But we do. And as Ruth Ginsburg said when President Clinton nominated her, you don't necessarily have to please the home crowd. And that's true. It can be rather liberating.
WITT: And that was Brian Williams reporting.
The legal wrangling and partisan sniping continues in the wake of the indictments against Representative Tom DeLay, the return volley today from the former House majority leader's attorney, an official court filing accusing Travis County, Texas, district attorney Ronnie Earle of prosecutorial misconduct.
The motion asks that both the conspiracy and money-laundering indictments against DeLay be set aside, saying Earle, quote, "attempted to browbeat and coerce a grand jury, which refused to indict the congressman on the money-laundering charges, before eventually going to another, which did," Mr. Earle's office releasing a statement saying the claims have no merit, and the investigation into Representative DeLay's actions continues.
From national leaders to world leaders, ahead on Countdown, like the world's best Frisbee thrower. Oddball's ahead.
And the world's sexiest woman, Angelina Jolie, was so last year's pick. We'll tell you who got the nod this year.
WITT: I'm Alex Witt, holding down the fort for Keith Olbermann tonight.
And we've reached that point where we pause the Countdown of the day's important stories to check in on the breaking weird news front.
We begin in Israel, where dozens of professional Frisbee throwers have gathered on this beach to celebrate actually being paid to throw Frisbees. They also had a competition to see who could throw a flying disk through this 17-inch tire from the furthest distance. Well, the winner, American Jeff Landesman (ph), who set a new Guinness World Record of 20 meters. Dude!
The 44-year-old pro wins $35 and gets to keep the tire. Eh, congratulations, buddy.
To Jaipur, India, home of Hanuman Mahuwar (ph). They call him the Music Man, because he's amassed an amazing collection of over 100 different rare musical instruments. (INAUDIBLE) count all those salad bowls as one instrument. The Music Man spends all day, every day, tending to his music makers. He's got bowls, a weird accordion kind of thing, a sweet sitar, and a vintage 1970 Fender Stratocaster signed by all those guys in Blue Oyster Cult.
And finally, it is pizza Friday around here, so we head to Dallas, Texas, home of the Pizza Hut Corporation. The pizza giant is celebrating 25 years of pan pizzas by cooking up a 1,600-pounder for all the little kiddies. How did they get this thing in the oven, Mommy? Shut up and eat your kid - eat your pizza, kid. (INAUDIBLE) shut up. Maybe I should.
But anyway, I'm sure you've heard the big news. Tomcat is expecting. But do you know anything about what it is like to give birth to a Scientology baby? We're going to shock you with the details.
And has Prince William found the girl of his dream? And more importantly, is she the girl of the queen's dreams too? The commoner who could be queen. That's all ahead.
Number three, al Qaeda. According to an Arabic newspaper, the terrorist organization has put a couple of help-wanted ads on the Internet for video and Web page editors. The ad claims al Qaeda has a number of, quote, "vacant positions" available. Yes, more and more every day.
Number two, actor and Republican activist Ron Silver. Most famous for paying the bad guy in the movie "Time Cop" and for his ardent support of the war in Iraq, he was today, according to a White House press release, nominated by the president to be a director of the United States Institute of Peace, a federal institution created by Congress to promote the prevention and peaceful resolution of international conflicts.
And number one, Nickolai Sinchock of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Police say he was due for an 11:00 a.m. hearing on previous drug charges. At 10:45 a.m., he went into the courthouse men's room, entered a stall, and sparked up a pipe full of marijuana. There was a sheriff's deputy, you know, sitting in the next stall down. Mr. Sinchock was arrested and had two drug hearings that day.
And that, my friends, is why they call it dope.
WITT: Welcome back to the Countdown. I'm Alex Witt, in for Keith Olbermann.
This week, Katie Holmes fired her publicist of eight years, and, in her place, acquired the services of one Lee Anne DeVette, AKA, Tom Cruise's sister, she responsible for this.
TOM CRUISE, ACTOR: Matt, you don't even - you're glib. You don't even know what Ritalin is.
WITT: And, lest we forget, this.
OPRAH WINFREY, HOST: Have you ever felt this way before?
WITT: Whether or not this, too, is Ms. DeVette's handy work.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE) and give her to you.
WITT: Really, anyone's guess at this point.
Our third story on the Countdown tonight, what to expect when you're expecting, the Scientology edition. Someone best make sure the fetus gets a copy of the press release, because this is to be a silent birth. As practicing Scientologists, both Cruise and Holmes believe that silence during childbirth is necessary to preserve the sanity of both mother and child. The father is clearly of no import whatsoever.
"a beautiful, still experience." Preston, however, saying, after 13 hours of labor, it got hard-core and she screamed for an epidural. No, no, no, no epidurals, no drugs of any kind, that, too, somewhat incongruously, part of the whole silent birth thing.
But how realistic is this? And does it really have any impact on the health and well-being of the baby?
Let's call in the expertise of child psychologist Dr. Robert Butterworth.
Doctor, good evening. Pleasure to have you tonight.
DR. ROBERT BUTTERWORTH, CHILD PSYCHOLOGIST: Good evening, Alex.
WITT: All right, Scientology and Tom Cruise. And all his nuttiness aside, could there be something to this? Could a woman screaming in pain and cursing her husband's mere existence really impact the baby in some way?
BUTTERWORTH: Well, you know, this is all based on the fact that they think that, when the baby come out, they need to have no stimulus at all. It has to be very quiet.
What they forget - what they forget about is, while the baby is in the womb, the baby is hearing things from outside. They're hearing the heartbeat. And the poor little baby is cut from the umbilical cord, thrown out in the real world, and what happens? Nobody says anything. Nobody interacts with the little baby.
And the little baby is probably thinking to themselves, my God, why did I come out?
BUTTERWORTH: This is really kind of weird. But it is also kind of scary, because they also say, if the child needs a blood test, you don't do it.
And, you know, in the first few days, it is really important to check the child's blood, so, no touching, nothing. You know, we tried this with monkeys years ago and we came out with some really weird monkeys. And I don't think we need to experiment on humans.
WITT: You know, Scientology takes this whole silence thing even a step further. I mean, it is not just a silent birth. In fact, the whole following week, total quiet.
Wouldn't you want your baby to get used to some sounds, so that, eventually, it would be quiet for maybe the parents?
BUTTERWORTH: You know, but human are social animals. We need nurturing. We need holding. And, as I said before, that bond between the mother and the baby is really established in the first week or two.
And to take a child and just place them somewhere - what, do they just put them in a drawer and if they - they just feed them and not interact with the child? As a psychologist, I'm really scared that these kids are going to be sensory deprived. They are not going to have interactions and they're going to start having developmental problem.
WITT: Well, in fact, L. Ron Hubbard is the one who founded Scientology and this whole silent birth thing is his idea.
Tom Cruise and John Travolta, both fans. None of these three were equipped with the tools necessary to give birth. I mean, should they be the ones to just shut the hell up on this?
BUTTERWORTH: Oh, yes. Don't you know it? Those are all guys saying what a woman is supposed to scream with her mouth closed? I mean, you have got another guy saying, you know, just shut up and bear it. This is voodoo science. It is not based on science at all.
And, really, not only it puts the mother in an incredibly painful situation, but it doesn't do anything for the baby. It just creates a situation where both baby and mothers are really - they do a disservice and it is really frightening. If it wasn't so funny, it is frightening.
WITT: Well, in fact, it is serious, because a woman has got to let out the frustration, the pain and all that. I mean, keeping it inside, you hear about people getting ulcers and the like from keeping things inside.
So, seriously, don't you think there would be a medical reasoning for letting it all hang out?
I mean, not only is there a medical reason, because the woman is expressing how she feels, is they're saying, the woman screaming is affecting the child. Hey, when the child is coming out, the child is screaming. I don't think the child is hearing the mother. The child is involved in their own screaming.
And, when the child comes out, and there's no noise, and the child is limp, that's when you worry. If the child is making noise and rustling around and screaming, that's a good sign. So, and the bottom line is, hey, we have been giving birth for centuries. And nothing has happened. Don't change things now.
WITT: What do you think? Do you think there's a danger in a couple that's so high-profile that advocates this sort of thing?
I mean, it's similar to Tom Cruise saying, psychiatry is just a junk scientist - science, rather. Do you think people are going to write it off as just weird celebrity behavior? Or is there a problem here with this mentality?
BUTTERWORTH: Wasn't it weird that he was talking about, don't use drugs for hyperactivity because it really doesn't work, and he was bouncing up and down on a couch while he was saying it?
BUTTERWORTH: I think he needed to take his meds.
I mean, you know, I understand a lot of people follow him. He is a good actor. But he isn't a doctor. And he doesn't even play one on TV. So, he really needs to zip it when it comes to this.
WITT: Well, you're a doctor. And we're glad you're here with us on TV. Psychologist Robert Butterworth, thanks for your time tonight. Appreciate it.
WITT: A swanky section of California is trying to pull the welcome mat out for a big group of problem sea lions.
And the sexiest woman in the world, it is time now for Angelina Jolie to turn over the title. We are going to tell you who gets the honors now. That's all ahead.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I got Superman on my mouth.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Turner is one of hundreds of Americans wearing the work of Ron Grant. The Watkinsville, Georgia, artist is the self-title Monet of molars, from animals to logos to just about anything.
DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: We're learning more and more about Harriet Miers. For example, she was - did you realize this? She was briefly married to Kenny Chesney?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, but you'll do fine.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Here we go. Hold it. Take another film for left side. Hold still. Thank you. Continue on down.
COURIC: You could have at least brought me dinner, Eva (ph).
DAVID GREGORY, NBC WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: You want to noodge on this, because you want to know as much as you can.
COURIC: Absolutely. And, next week, I will have a Pap smear. Just kidding.
WITT: Sea Lions use to be endangered, but now they are endangering the way of life in one pricey area of Southern California. Boy George under arrest in New York City. And has Prince William found his queen.
See? A lot still ahead for you tonight on Countdown.
WITT: We turn now to a story making some noise in wealthy Newport Beach, California. Once home to John Wayne and Bette Davis, it is now being overtaken by dozens of loud, stinky, messy visitors, no, not the college-age kind.
Our number two story on the Countdown, sea lions are wreaking havoc on this exclusive seaside town. With breeding season over, they are vacationing on the neighborhood yachts, they are bullying the residents and stealing fish right off the hooks.
NBC's Mark Mullen spent some time with the smelly new squatters.
MARK MULLEN, NBC CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In tony Newport Beach, California, residents don't like the new neighbors.
LOSWELL OSWALD, BOATER: They're awful.
MULLEN (on camera): Why is that?
OSWALD: They're noisy and they're messy.
MULLEN (voice-over): California sea lions have moved into this harbor, squatting on people's boats, making a mess, and a lot of noise. Most are male.
MONICA DEANGELIS, NOAA: These are going to be animals that weren't out there breeding or weren't pregnant females. So, the testosterone might have kicked in of some sort.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I have been trying to come up with my own solution to the problem.
MULLEN: Some boaters have tied plastic bags to their boats in hopes of scaring them off. Others have erected barriers, but they don't always work.
Recently, more than a dozen sea lions, which can each weigh as much as 800 pounds, took over this (INAUDIBLE) sailboat and sank it.
SGT. JOHN WHITMAN, HARBOR PATROL: They also can be dangerous as well.
There have been attacks up and down the coastline with surfers.
MULLEN: So, why not run them off? The California sea lion is legally untouchable because it was once hunted almost to extinction. But that was then.
(on camera): There are now as many as 400,000 California sea lions protected by the 1972 Marine Mammal Act, which makes it illegal to kill, injure or harass the creatures.
(voice-over): It is why sea lions have happily live at San Francisco's Pier 39 and taken over this area off the central coast of Monterey. Now with sea lions settling here in Southern California, residents are urging officials to use water hoses, dart guns, anything to evict the noisy bulls.
DEANGELIS: We're actively looking at nonlethal deterrent measures to exclude these animals from habitats like marinas and things like that.
MULLEN: Meantime, residents are learning all too well that sea lions from a distance may be cute and charming, but living with them is a much different story.
Mark Mullen, NBC News, Newport Beach, California.
WITT: And with that, we turn to the slightly more attractive stars of stage, screen and castle and the entertainment stories of "Keeping Tabs."
And we begin with breaking tabloid news tonight. Boy George has been arrested for cocaine possession in New York. Say it ain't so, Boy. Say it ain't so. Police say the former lead singer of Culture Club actually called the cops to report a burglary. But when they showed up at his apartment, they found the door open and the star staggering around his apartment in a - quote - "drugged stupor."
A small amount of cocaine was found next to his computer. It is unclear yet how serious the charges will be. But don't you worry. A guy like Boy George can certainly take care of himself in prison.
It appears we have a new favorite in the Prince William sweepstakes. That is, if you pay attention to "People" magazine. And, frankly, who doesn't? The cover this week featuring Prince William and Ms. Kate Middleton, asking, is she the one? Late betting puts the girl next door as the odds-on favorite to be Mrs. William Arthur Philip Louis Windsor.
NBC's Pat Dawson has the lowdown on the young woman who could one day be queen of England.
PAT DAWSON, NBC CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Imagine a simple, carefree girl from the country with everything going her way, pretty, charming, freshly minted degree.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Katherine (ph) Middleton.
DAWSON: Even, it seems, a romance with an almost too handsome boyfriend.
DAWSON: That would be Wales as in son of the prince of Wales, which is what they use here for a last name when your family doesn't really use theirs.
Meet the boyfriend's family. So much for the simple, carefree 20-something life.
DICKIE ARBITER, ROYAL EXPERT: They have just graduated from university. They haven't had a chance to sample life yet. And yet they are being pursued relentlessly by British media.
DAWSON: That would be the dignified, patient, not-at-all-jumping-the-gun British media, a frenzy of newspaper headlines over how Katherine - actually, Kate - had already met, even had private dinners, with the most important members of the boyfriend's family, the queen. Talk about meeting the in-laws.
(on camera): Actually, beyond the aggressive headlines, there's nothing to suggest that a walk down the aisle is imminent for Prince William. But, even though so, this time, it seems, a more media-savvy royal family is taking no chances that a princess, even potential princess, will be run over by the high-octane British media.
(voice-over): William has reportedly asked his father's media advisers for help, so Kate won't suffer the same fate as his mother Diana or Fergie or Camilla.
ARBITER: They learned lessons from the early days of Diana. And if she has had media training, then that's good thinking probably on the people behind William and probably good thinking on her part.
DAWSON: Raising the possibility that a modern fairy-tale romance might actually turn out that way.
Pat Dawson, NBC News, London.
WITT: But here, we have our own royal story about Hollywood celebrities. And "Esquire" magazine has chosen from among them to announce the 2005 sexiest woman alive. Do you recognize her? It is 23-year-old actress Jessica Biel.
Now, you may remember her from the TV show "Seventh Heaven," or not. The magazine calls her - quote - "an underground icon to the generation of men who are coming of age now and about to burst on to the scene," her, not the boys.
For the older generation, "Esquire" named Chinese actress Gong Li the sexiest woman in her 30s, Sharon Stone, sexiest in her 40s, Rene Russo for 50-somethings, and, in her 60s, Supreme Court Justice nominee Harriet Miers. OK, we made that one up. Sorry.
Well, one thing that is an undeniable fact, "LIVE & DIRECT" will be up next at the top of the hour.
And Rita Cosby is here for a quick preview of the show.
Hi, Rita. What you got?
RITA COSBY, HOST, "RITA COSBY: LIVE & DIRECT": Hi, Alex.
Well, Alex, I thought you were going to get picked, first of all, for that list. I'm a little stunned.
COSBY: But - but we have a lot on tap today. In fact, I just came back a few hours ago. I was riding the subways with former New York Police Commissioner Howard Safir. We decided to take the subways, you know, head on just to see what kind of security. We asked New Yorkers how they feel, are they nervous. And we also got to see what kind of security measures are in place.
Additionally, we also have a really interesting story. This is a very sad story. A University of Oklahoma student blows himself up, literally goes to a football game, sits on a park bench, blows himself up. Was there a terror connection? Was there a Muslim connection?
We are going to talk about all that and a whole lot more at the top of the hour on "LIVE & DIRECT." We will be here.
WITT: OK. Well, we will look forward to that. The hottest news anchor at 9:00, that's what I say.
WITT: Rita Cosby with "LIVE & DIRECT."
Well, Countdown's number one story is still ahead of us. You've no doubt heard of the Nobel Peace Prize. but have you heard of the Ig Nobel Prize, the top award in science that cracks you up and leaves you scratching your head? You will not believe this year's winner. And I don't believe what I will be forced to say.
WITT: A nuclear watchdog for the United Nations and a scientist who watches locusts watched the movie "Star Wars." These are the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize and the Ig Nobel Peace Prize, respectively.
Our number one story on the Countdown tonight, the head of the agency that keeps the world safe from atomic weapons and the organization that honors inventions like prosthetic dog testicles. Here on the Countdown, we honor both equally, although, admittedly, we will be spending ever so slightly more time on those mutts, just because it brings up a lot of questions.
But, first, the real deal. The International Atomic Energy Agency and its chief, Mohamed ElBaradei, are the recipients of this year's Nobel Peace Prize. The committee cited the group's incalculable importance and called ElBaradei an unafraid advocate in the fight for disarmament.
In the months leading up to the Iraq war, ElBaradei certainly clashed with the Bush administration over its claim that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling nuclear weapons. The agency had said he was watching Norwegian television with his wife last night when he heard his name before getting the official call.
MOHAMED ELBARADEI, IAEA DIRECTOR GENERAL: I'm out of words. I'm very humbled and extremely honored by this recognition of the work of the IAEA. I think that the prize recognizes the number one danger we are facing today.
WITT: ElBaradei went on to call the $1.3 million accolade a much-needed shot in the arm, as his agency faces nuclear crises in North Korea and Iran.
Now to the crisis facing our neutered pets. The man leading the charge in that effort was awarded this year with an Ig Nobel Prize. While the Nobel Prize is awarded to those who have bettered mankind, the criteria for the Ig Nobels is slightly less, well, noble, because anything that makes you laugh, then makes you think. The winners of this year's Ig Nobel Peace Prize, scientists from England who electronically monitored the activity of brain cells in locusts while showing them scenes from the "Star Wars" trilogy.
Maybe this will be the impetus for those scientists to move out of their mothers' basements, huh?
And in the field of medicine, our personal favorite, Greg Miller of Missouri, who invented Neuticles. Yes, indeed. These are artificial replacement testicles for neutered dogs. What's more shocking than that?
Well, anyway, he sold over 150,000 of them.
Joining me right now, the founder of the Ig Nobels and editor of "The Annals of Improbable Research," Marc Abrahams.
Mr. Abrahams, thanks so much for your time tonight.
MARC ABRAHAMS, FOUNDER, IG NOBEL PRIZES: Thanks for inviting me on.
WITT: Did this year's recipients live up to the Ig Nobel precedent?
Are Neuticles a prime example of what you're looking for?
ABRAHAMS: Yes. I'm not sure whether up is the right direction you're asking about or not. But, certainly, they fulfill the criteria.
There are 10 winners this year. Seven of them traveled here, some from literally halfway around the world. Neuticles, really, you just need to describe them and that's sufficient to give anybody as much information they need.
WITT: They make you laugh. They make you think.
ABRAHAMS: Perhaps you would describe them, or would you like me to?
WITT: oh, no, no. I do - I want to harp on this just a wee bit.
ABRAHAMS: I had a feeling you would.
WITT: You know the inventor.
Can you give us any light here on why 150,000 people would buy fake nuts for their dogs?
ABRAHAMS: All I can think of is the old phrase, out with the old, in with the new.
WITT: Ah, OK. All I have to say is, I'm still getting paid no matter what I say. And I told a friend I was going say that. And I just did it.
Let's move on to the locust experiment. So, here's the question.
Why? And what were the results of that?
ABRAHAMS: Yes, that is the question.
WITT: Why? I mean, why do this, the locust research?
ABRAHAMS: So, they figured that, if you saw "Star Wars," it was just like - part of it was just like being in a swarm of locusts. So, they measured, what's going on electrically inside one brain cell.
What they discovered was, there's a lot of electrical activity inside of one brain cell of a locust while the locust watches "Star Wars."
WITT: Huh. That's all I can say to that.
OK, I see there is actually a category called fluid dynamics. What took the cake for that one? What's that about?
ABRAHAMS: That was - we had a hard time coming up with a category for this one. This is two scientists in Europe who calculated the pressure that builds up inside a penguin when the penguin defecates.
And most penguins, or at least some types of penguin, when they let loose, project a stream, a long stream. And these scientists looked at it, realized it takes a lot of pressure to do that. They applied some basic physics. And there you are.
WITT: OK. I'm sensing a theme here.
ABRAHAMS: You seem to be harping on certain types of questions here.
WITT: Well, there's a theme here of torturing animals. I mean, come on.
ABRAHAMS:... would lead one to believe that this is all we deal with.
WITT: No. It's this biology category. The researchers, what did they do? They felt frogs were feeling stressed? What is up with that?
Yes. Well, they were much more careful than that. This was 131 different species of frogs. And they sniffed them while the frogs were feeling stressed. And it turns out frogs give off - different kinds of frogs give off very different smells.
Some smelled like perfume. Some smelled like popcorn. Some smelled like cigars. Some smelled like lemons.
WITT: Oh, OK. I'm going to take your word for that, yes.
ABRAHAMS: And one of them, one of those scientists just took a new job, moved from Australia, where he lived, to Switzerland. He now works for a perfume company.
WITT: Oh, well that's encouraging. I'm going to go shopping.
Let's move on to more practical prizes, or not, as the case may be, the economics prize and that inventor.
ABRAHAMS: I want to see how you define practical. Yes. Pardon me?
The guy that designed the lazy man's alarm clock, tell us about that one.
ABRAHAMS: It's not a guy. That's Gauri Nanda.
She's a graduate student at MIT. And she designed an alarm clock that runs away and hides repeatedly until you find it and shut it off. She won the economics prize this year, because, theoretically, this would add many hours to the productive work day.
WITT: I tell you, I just love this interview.
Mark Abrahams, the Ig Nobel Prize's author, thank you so much. It's been very illuminating. Pleasure talking with you.
ABRAHAMS: It's been a pleasure.
WITT: Have a good one.
WITT: And that's Countdown. I'm Alex Witt, in for Keith Olbermann. I'm going to see you back here on MSNBC tomorrow morning, 8:00 Eastern time. So, join me for that.
Meantime, all of you have a great weekend.
Are you ready for this? Let's see. No, that's not going to do it.
Anyway, time to turn it over to "RITA COSBY LIVE & DIRECT."
COSBY: You're having too much fun there, Alex. Thanks so much, throwing these things at me. And good night, everybody.

The laptop or computer today is utilised for a lot of points, occasionally it's utilised for entertainment by using it to play games, watch videos amongst others. The computer is also utilised to generate different digital arts, internet pages, programs or applications and database. Most of the time however, the computer is utilised to develop and store documents. For companies employing the use of computers, it really is an important machine exactly where records of the company’s transactions are becoming designed and stored. Monetary statements, corporate letters among other documents are developed effortlessly and efficiently with all the aide of the computer. For private investigators the computer is actually a treasure trove of details that would give pertinent information to be able to ascertain the user of the personal computer or the firm as a entire. Printed documents may be regarded as as evidence but in its absence computers may possibly hold a digital version of such document. Private investigators and private detectives would have a challenging time in conducting a computer surveillance specially if the computer is password protected.
The problem stated above was the motivation within the development of the ultimate key logger. The ultimate key logger is really a software application that will record the users’ pc activity. Important presses are recorded together with screenshots of the personal computer screen’s display. The ultimate important logger was developed to be simply install itself on a pc and would steer clear of detection since it would run in the background and won't show a sign that such program is operating, moreover the ultimate key logger was tested with distinct anti virus software program and it truly is secure to say that it has the ability to by-pass any scanning carried out by the antivirus software program. The ultimate important logger may be effortlessly installed by private investigators and private detectives in a pc and they can merely download the information recorded by merely plugging in once more the flash disk device on the USB port.

When the 2019 Nissan Altima goes on sale next month, the new mid-size sedan will have a handful of new features to tempt shoppers. It'll also feature one of its old trademarks too.
On Friday, Nissan announced that the base Altima will cost $24,645 to start, including mandatory destination charges. The Altima is priced between rivals from Toyota and Honda, within a few hundred dollars of each. Nissan offers the Altima in S, SR, SV, SL, and Platinum trim levels with increasing creature comforts.
New for Nissan this year is available all-wheel drive at every trim level for $1,350 more or a powerful 2.0-liter turbo-4 available on sporty SR trims, or top-of-the-line Platinum versions for thousands more. But its value among rivals remains fairly consistent.
The Altima's starting price falls between rivals from Toyota and Honda—within a few hundred dollars of each—but Nissan offers an impressive list of standard features for the entry cost. The 2019 Altima S is equipped with cloth upholstery, a 7.0-inch digital driver information cluster, an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, four USB charge ports, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless ignition, remote start, and automatic emergency braking. The only letdown? Base models get 16-inch wheels with caps, that can be upgraded to 17-inch alloys for more money.
The SR trim is the sportier pick for the 2019 Altima line, and it starts at $25,995, which is several hundred less than comparable models from Toyota and Honda. With the Altima SR, Nissan tuned the mid-size sedan with stiffer springs, bigger 19-inch wheels, and heavier steering. Upgraded cloth interior, exterior trim accents, blind-spot monitors, and upgraded headlights are included in the Altima SR. Heated seats and a moonroof are optional on the SR grade. Opting for the more powerful 248-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo-4 adds more than $4,000 to the bottom line, however.
The Altima SV, which starts at $28,825, is likely to be the most popular pick with buyers. It doesn't offer the higher power 2.0-liter turbo-4 but adds 17-inch wheels, automatic headlights, dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a moonroof, and an upgraded suite of active safety features including active lane control, adaptive cruise control, rear automatic emergency braking, and Nissan's Level 2 driver-assistance feature called "ProPilot Assist" that can help keep the sedan centered in its lane.
Many of the Altima's rivals don't offer driver-assistance tech, at all.
The SL trim level costs $30,735 to start and adds leather upholstery, premium audio by Bose, navigation, and traffic sign recognition.
For $32,675, the Altima Platinum adds 19-inch wheels, a surround-view camera system, and upgraded interior accents. The uprated 2.0-liter turbo-4 costs $3,000 more in the Platinum.

I’ve always had an appreciation for technology. I’ve loved the idea of programming computers ever since I first laid my hands on a keyboard, and I’ve loved games and the idea of making them ever since I laid my hands on my first controller.
I’m interested in software development (especially tooling), game development, and systems architecture.

When it comes to international money transfers for business purposes, the exchange rate you receive and the charges you pay will make a big difference to the cost. This is the case whether you need to make regular payments or are looking for the best way to organise a one-off business money transfer.
Many businesses need to send money, or receive payments from, overseas. International business money transfers offer a fast, easy and cost-effective way to do this.
This guide to business money transfers tells you everything you need to know about this method of sending cash abroad.
How much do business money transfers cost?
Using your bank to send money overseas can result in high commission and administration charges. Most high street banks charge at least £20 per transaction.
Together with the poor exchange rates many banks offer, these fees can push the cost of a large international transfer into hundreds of pounds.
Fortunately, you can slash the cost of international business transfers by using a foreign exchange specialist rather than a high street bank. There are lots of companies offering international business money transfers.
Some of the top names include Halo financial, HiFX, World First and TransferWise. They generally offer attractive exchange rates, while many have no transfer charges.
What are the advantages of business money transfers?
Choosing to send money abroad via a market-leading international transfer service should mean you get a lot more for your money.
If you are worried about the exchange rate moving against you, it is also possible to fix a future payment at the current rate – thereby removing the risk of the cost of the payment going up due to sterling falling, for example. And for those keen to make the most of rising exchange rates, many companies offer rate alert services and the opportunity to set the exchange rate (for example within a few decimal points of the current rate) for a transfer to be made.
In addition, many transfers can be arranged online or over the phone, and the money should generally arrive at its destination within a few days at most.
What are the disadvantages of business money transfers?
Most of the currency specialists will only arrange transfers of at least £250, while transfers of less than £5,000 may attract higher fees. Many companies will also only accept bank transfers, rather than debit card payments, for example, while some are not FCA-authorised, meaning you could end up out of pocket if something goes wrong.
Finally, it is worth noting that you will generally have to pay commission – or a fee of some kind – to transfer money overseas, whichever company you use. The good news, however, is that you can minimise this cost by shopping around for the best deal.
Shopping around for the best deal can save you hundreds of pounds on larger money transfers, with the difference between the deals offered by even the more competitive players on say £15,000 hitting well over £100.
MoneySuperMarket’s international money transfer tables take the legwork out of finding the cheapest way to make an overseas business payment.
All the currency companies listed are also FCA-authorised and regulated, giving you the security you need when transferring cash in this way.
We want you to have as much choice as possible when you’re looking to transfer money abroad for business purposes. But some companies don’t want to be included on comparison websites, so we can’t promise to show you every single one. We’ve ranked these companies according to how much money you would receive, based on a hypothetical quote. You can find out more about how we work here.

.mobi auctions: Music, Games, Sports, WTF?
Very exciting. This proves that there’s significant economic heat building up in the mobile web. A medium starting grow up.
It’s a shame that some people will undoubtedly whinge about the fact that this is pretty amazing income for something as simple as a domain name.
But most importantly to me, and, I hope, to the entire mobile community, is the fact that this is helping fund all the other stuff we do. It certainly doesn’t feel like money for nothing.
Ever wondered who pays for the essential dev.mobi, ready.mobi and …Device Atlas? Answer: the bidders in these auctions. And we’ll continue to do our best to make the community benefit from it.

Surah Al-Fatihah is the first surah of Holy Quran which was reveald on Holy Prophet(S.A.W) in the city of Mecca(Makkah).This Surah is recited by muslims in every salah(Namaz) without this surah salah is incomplete.This surah means “the opening”.Its literal meaning is “that which is often recited”.It consist of seven(7) verses which have full guidance and blessing for us.The importance of this can be visualize by that this surah is compulsory in every salah.Its mean this surah is the summary of whole Quran.As it is the very first surah of holy quran so it is given many names such as Al-Kitab, Al-Huda , Al-Dhikr, Al-Bayan, Al-Furqan,Al-Tanzil, Al-Hikmat.
“Whoever does not recite Surah Al Fatihah in his prayer, his prayer is invalid”.
Once we were having a journey while we were passing a men came to us and said that our king is suffering from scorpion bite if you will cure him we can give you something in return,So I went with him and i recited Surah Al-Fatiha and his diease was cured.As in returned they were given some sheeps.
When this topic was discussed by holy prophet so he asked why you only recite Surah Al-Fatiha so he told that he only knew it and as a result whole quran in cure for us.
Surah Al-Fatihah start with In the Name of Allah (SWT) known as Bismillah.
It is recited before doing any work or action.
Alhamdulillah, also known as Tahmid .Which meaning “praise be to the Lord”, and translated as “thank Lord!”.
These are the names and atributes given to Allah that he is very Rehman and Raheem on his peoples.These words are orinated from man and emm which mean he is very mercyfull. This is why Allah says: “Call upon Allah or call upon al-Rahman; by whichever name you call upon Him, to Him belong the most excellent names.” Allah other names can be used as words to describe others: words like rahim (merciful), sami (hearing), and basir (seeing). About the Prophet (peace be upon him) Allah says: “With the believers he is gentle and merciful”.Allah says: “Verily We created the human being from a drop of mingled sperm and made him hearing (sami) and seeing (basir)”.
Another opinion is that the difference between them is that al-Rahman denotes the presence of the attribute of mercy, while al-Rahim refers to the expression of Allah’s Mercy and its affects on Creation. Based on this opinion, Allah is al-Rahman and al-Rahim with respect to both this world and the next And Allah knows best.
In second ayat praised of allah almighty is being discussed that he is lord of all the world.
Allah is the master and Mercy of the people and for the day of Judgment.He is the master and he will be all upon on us what we did in our lifes. We should therefore not allow ourselves to misled. We should always remember that he knows very well that what we are doing. We all know that Allah (SWT) has appointed “Karaman Katebeen” to write every good and bad deed of us. We should never be unaware of our existence. If someone did something wrong to you, he will surely be punished on the day of judgment as Allah is the best judge. Also, if someone is doing good deeds, he will be awarded for his struggles.
When we workship in front of Allah Alimighty it is basically that we are demanding help from him for our life that please grant us his mercy and help on us for our lifes.Basically if we see this Surah Al-Faitha it is basically a dua for us that we says in front of Allah Almighty.d O’ Allah our worship, obedience, submission and devotion is for You alone, and we only serve You. O’ Allah we know that You are the Lord of the Universe and You have the power over everything, therefore, we only turn to You for help, for our needs and requirements.
In this verse the guidance is being asked from Allaha that please guide us the right way and path to success in life today and for the day of judgment.We want to meet our lifes as for as Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W).Keep us the guidance for our betterment and keep us away from the sins and sinnerse of this world.We says that “OH My Lord we workship you and we seeks help and guidance from you”. We can only get lost in labyrinths of doubt and uncertainty due to lack of true knowledge. Let us hold firm to the straight path that Allah Almighty has opened up for us.
In this verse the right path and right way has been asked from Allah that guide us the right path and right way from which we can seek the betterment of this world and the day of Judgment. The path of those upon whom you bestowed and not of those who have evoked and not of those who are astray.
This verse has to be related with above verse 6.As before we has prayed god for guidance and betterment of our selfs.We have asked god for way to good deeds not to astray.Astray are those who are not in search of the truth. Those who have known what is right but their weaknesses have led them far away.In this last ayat we have to to a moral that who nows the right and truth but hides from world only gained Allah Anger because Allah bestowed him that thing but he did not so he should have anger just and after never hope of usefull things.And other who did not search for truth may should go to Astray.We pray from Allah to keep away from this type of person or people in life.
Surah Al Fatihah is the important chapter of Holy Quran. The Surah Al fatahiah a chapter so important that Muslims cannot implore God without its recitation in each of the five daily prayers, is not only the beginning of the Qur’an but in a sense a summary of it.
Surah fatahia is the most important surah which help man to seeks guidance in his present life and the life day after tomorrow.This surah help man to change his life and ask guidance right way and success from god in his life basically. Surah al-Fatiha, “The Opening”, is the first chapter of the Holy Quran. Its seven verses are a prayer for God’s guidance, and stress Its lordship and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in daily prayers; being recited at least seventeen times a day, at the start of each unit of prayer .
This surah has great effect on muslim life that goods attributes are discussed that our god is very praised and vey benifical on his peoples. His mercy and his belessing upon peoples is very helpful and useful in life of a muslim.He is master of all the world and as for as day of judgment he will forgive his sinner which enable muslim to work more hard to achive googd attributes from him.Muslim workship to him is seek of help and blessing to him which is highest way of success.guidance is for right and correct path and woy of life.and he forgive those to whome he give but they don’t give in return to the society. A wise Shaykh has said that since our Ruh (Spirit) has come from the heavens therefore the sustenance and food for our Ruh is also in the heavens. And so when we recite the seven verses of Surah Fatiha, we’re actually assisting our Ruh to spiritually transport itself through these seven heavens and bond itself with Allah (swt), Who is high, above and beyond these heavens. Since Fatiha means Opening, this Surah opens the door for our Ruh to begin its spiritual journey, the goal of which is to connect itself with Allah (swt). Each verse of this Surah forms a step to cross each heaven thus by the time we have recited all seven verses with full concentration of heart and mind, we should be able to experience a communion and joy unlike any other.

After years of lagging behind other states, New York radically overhauled its system of voting and elections on Monday, passing several bills that would allow early voting, preregistration of minors, voting by mail and sharp limits on the influence of money. The bills, which were passed by the State Legislature on Monday evening, bring New York in line with policies in other liberal bastions like California and Washington, and they would quiet, at least for a day, complaints about the state’s antiquated approach to suffrage. Their swift passage marked a new era in the State Capitol. Democrats, who assumed full control this month after decades in which the Legislature was split, say they will soon push through more of their priorities, from strengthening abortion rights to approving the Child Victims Act, which would make it easier for victims of childhood sexual abuse to sue their assailants.

Much attention has focused on H.R. 1, the comprehensive package of democracy reforms introduced on Thursday by Representative John Sarbanes (D-Md.) on behalf of the new Democratic House majority. The unprecedented legislation is perhaps the most important domestic initiative of the new Congress. But it also has the capacity to begin fixing what has been broken in our foreign relations, reassuring our allies that America is on the way back to restoring our democracy, and with it our global leadership. Since 2016, the United States’ friends around the world have been faced with a dual shock: Russia’s multipronged attack on our elections that year and the ascension of President Donald Trump, who has criticized our longtime partners while embracing authoritarians like Russian President Vladimir Putin—despite his assault on our democracy.

A coalition of 175 grassroots and community groups is pushing Albany to pass a “fair elections” package that includes such elements as small-donor public financing, closing campaign funding loopholes and early voting. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and other Democratic leaders have supported various forms of such legislation in the past, but fair elections proposals had been consistently blocked by Republicans who long controlled the state Senate, organizers say. Now that Democrats control both the legislative and executive branches in New York, the Fair Elections for New York coalition wants elected officials to pass fair elections legislation right away. About 25 representatives from the coalition held a news conference Monday on the steps of Buffalo City Hall to press for the reforms.

Last week, in their case against Michael Cohen, federal prosecutors in New York filed a sentencing brief concluding that, in committing the felony campaign-finance violations to which he pleaded guilty, Cohen had “acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1,” President Trump. And this week, prosecutors revealed that they had obtained an agreement from AMI, the parent company of the National Enquirer, in which AMI admitted that it, too, had made an illegal payment to influence the election. The AMI payment was the product of a meeting in which Trump was in the room with Cohen and AMI President David Pecker. This all suggests Trump could become a target of a very serious criminal campaign finance investigation. In response, Trump has offered up three defenses. His first was to repeatedly lie. For quite some time, he flatly denied knowledge about the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels. But now he seems to be acknowledging that he knew (since his personal company reimbursed Cohen for the payment, he ought to). Now Trump and his acolytes have turned to two other excuses: They point to an earlier case involving former senator John Edwards to argue that what Trump did wasn’t a crime; and they say, even if it was a crime, it wasn’t a biggie — there are lots of crimes, so what, who cares.

A judge has ruled that Arizona lawmakers violated the state Constitution on multiple fronts when they passed a sweeping overhaul of campaign-finance laws in 2016. Those changes illegally limit the power of the voter-approved Citizens Clean Elections Commission to police campaign-finance laws and illegally create loopholes for spending limits, the ruling states. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge David Palmer ruled that the changes are unconstitutional and cannot be enforced. The ruling is the latest twist in a fight over Senate Bill 1516, a major rewrite of campaign- finance laws that the Republican-controlled Legislature and Gov. Doug Ducey pushed in 2016.

John McCain devoted much of his career in the Senate to controlling the influence of money in public life — in part to try to recover from his own role in a big congressional influence scandal. McCain, who died Saturday of brain cancer, made money and influence big themes of his first presidential race. “Y’know, there’s a little game they got in Washington,” he told a crowd in New Hampshire in 1999. “And that is: Look at the tax bill when it comes out, to figure out who’s getting the benefit — because of the very complex and convoluted way that they write the tax laws. And it’s a disgrace.” Although McCain, an Arizona Republican, lost the Republican nomination to George W. Bush, his warnings that money was corrupting politics reverberated in many state primaries, amplifying his message and propelling him toward an unexpected legislative triumph in the Senate that helped define his career. … McCain, who served more than 30 years in the Senate, began as an unlikely crusader.

A widely used loophole for funneling secret “dark money” into political ads closed quietly last weekend, as a federal judge concluded it thwarted Congress’ intent to have broad disclosure of political money. Chief Judge Beryl Howell, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, threw out a regulation adopted by the Federal Election Commission in 1980. The rule said that “non-political” groups, such as 501(c) nonprofit organizations, could ignore a disclosure law if donors’ contributions were earmarked for specific advertisements — an exception that wasn’t in the law passed by Congress. Howell’s decision was issued Friday evening.

The elevation of D.C. Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court could have a profound impact on the rules governing the American democratic system. In recent years, the Supreme Court has swiftly remade the landscape of American politics, gutting 1960s-era civil rights laws restricting voter suppression, sharply weakening labor unions, and deregulating the campaign finance system to allow for wealthy individuals and corporations to exercise greater influence over elected representatives. With President Donald Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court, that influence is poised to grow. Kavanaugh’s appellate court decisions and public comments suggest that he will accelerate the trend toward a political system dominated by wealthy elites — often operating in the shadows, without any form of disclosure.

On Tuesday evening, the nation held its collective breath as the English football team beat Colombia on penalties to make it to the quarter-final of the world cup. Meanwhile, Vote Leave leaked news that the Electoral Commission is set to find it breached electoral law during the Brexit referendum. This is not the most obvious example of news being buried in Westminster. But it could be one of the most significant. With Britain just months from falling off a Brexit cliff edge, and with no guarantee yet in place for a people’s poll on the final deal, the disastrous consequences of failing to meet fundamental standards of democracy will be felt for generations to come.

Plastic surgery is a surgical sub-specialty that deals with the healing and restoration of patients with injury, disfigurement or scarring resulting from trauma, disease or congenital defects. It includes aesthetic, or cosmetic surgery to correct or rejuvenate facial and bodily features not pleasing to the patient. Derived from Greek, the word plastic means molding or giving form and does not refer to the use of plastic materials.
Training to become a plastic surgeon is a difficult task. To become board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery a physician must complete a specialized post-graduate training course of five to seven years. Background training usually includes a thorough grounding in general surgery however, a background in ENT or orthopedics may be acceptable. The final two to three years of training must be in an approved plastic surgery training center. Prior to official certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery the physician must pass a rigorous set of both written and oral examinations. While numerous physicians use the term “plastic” surgeons only those certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery are true plastic surgeons.
Does certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery ensure that a patient will get a perfect result from an operation?
No. Healing of operated tissue is affected by several factors, and some of these are beyond the control of the surgeon. As in any other type of medicine, no guarantee of perfection or even a good result can be given. By making sure to do your homework before choosing a plastic surgeon, you can check out a surgeon’s training, skill, and experience to better ensure your safety and desired results. Board certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery means that the surgeon has completed the rigorous requirements for full time practice as a specialist in plastic surgery.
What questions should I ask before choosing a plastic surgeon to make sure he/she is qualified to operate on me?
When the doctor claims to be board-certified, ask by which board. Only the ABPS is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties to certify doctors in the area of plastic surgery.
Some surgical procedures can be performed in the doctor’s office or other outpatient facility but it is important to find out if the doctor has operating privileges in an accredited hospital for the same procedure you are having. Before granting operating privileges, hospital review committees evaluate a surgeons training and competency for specific procedures.
If it’s in an office-based facility, ask if it’s accredited. Most states don’t require ambulatory or office-based facilities to be accredited, but voluntary application can be made to an accrediting body such as the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities. Such accreditation means the facility has met strict requirements and denotes a high standard of care.
Also ask what training has been completed, especially in new techniques. Ask to see certificates of training.
There are risks with any surgical procedure. Find out what they are, how often they occur, and how they will be handled if they do occur.
Be sure to discuss postoperative restrictions on activity and typical time periods for resuming work.
What is your policy on surgical revisions?
Some cases may require revisions to achieve the desired results. Find out about any costs for which you may be responsible.
Cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance, and payment usually is required in advance. Costs include the surgeon’s fee and fees for the surgical facility and anesthesia. Other possible costs are the preoperative physical and blood work, medications, surgical garments and private-duty nursing.
Aesthetic (also called cosmetic) problems with the face, neck and trunk, including forehead, eyes, nose, ears, lips, chin, neck, breasts, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves, arms, and skin.
Congenital deformities of the hands and face, including clefts of the lip and palate.
Benign (non-cancer) and malignant (cancerous) tumors of the head and neck, skin and soft tissues.
Traumatic injuries of the bony facial skeleton and hand as well as soft tissue injuries of any part of the body.
Surgery of the jaw and facial skeleton.
Any type of skin cover and replacement problems.
All types of reconstruction following removal of cancer resulting in disfigurement of any part of the body including the face, breasts, trunk.
Aesthetic surgery, also known as cosmetic surgery, seeks to improve an individuals appearance. These type of operations most often involve the nose, ears, face, forehead, eyelids, breasts, abdomen, hips and thighs.
Is a plastic surgeon a skin specialist?
Dermatologists specialize in skin, but the plastic surgeon has an equally important role of the treatment of benign and malignant tumors of the skin. The skills of a plastic surgeon are especially needed when large areas of the skin must be removed and replaced especially where disfigurement may result or when these areas are in conspicuous areas such as the face. Plastic surgeons also perform skin resurfacing techniques, for cosmetic purposes, in order to achieve healthier looking skin by reducing facial wrinkling and pigmentary changes of the skin.
Does plastic surgery always involve skin grafting?
Skin grafting is only used when it is the best way of closing a wound or defect. A qualified plastic surgeon uses judgment to decide the best way of reconstructing a defect. A skin graft may appear to have poor color match and texture compared to the native skin, but with careful selection of a skin graft donor site these problems may be minimized.
What is a pedicle graft or flap?
A pedicle graft also called a flap, consists of a segment of skin, underlying subcutaneous tissue and/or muscle which is shifted from one area to an open wound or defect for coverage of that wound. The word pedicle means that the blood supply to the flap is never divided. When the blood supply is completely divided and reattached this is called a free flap, and requires specialized skill in microvascular surgery.
What is rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction?
Rhinoplasty, or nose reshaping, reshapes the nose to improve appearance, and it may also be used to alleviate breathing problems.
Pain from nose reshaping procedures are surprisingly mild. A splint is usually worn over the nose and sometimes inside the nose for five to seven days. There may be some bruising around the eyes, but this usually clears up in one to two weeks.
Sometimes a touch-up is necessary after a nose reshaping, but it is generally better to wait a year before any additional surgery is performed. This also allows the maximum time to see the final results of the surgery.
During a face lift incisions are made in the hair line, temple region extending down in front of the ear and then around the back of the ear into the hairline. These incisions vary depending on the technique used by your plastic surgeon. Many plastic surgeons are well trained in more than one face lift technique. The skin of the face and neck is dissected into the cheeks and neck allowing it to be mobilized upward producing a tightening and smoothing result. Many plastic surgeons can now also tighten the muscular layers underneath the skin as well during a face lift procedure. Years of specialized training are necessary to safely perform this procedure. The results can be subtle or drastic depending on the condition of the facial area prior to the surgery and the desired results.
Does a face lift leave scars?
Yes, but as with other scars plastic surgeons have been trained to place them in areas that are very inconspicuous. Your plastic surgeon will be able to show you exactly where your scars will be following your surgery. Normally your hair will cover up most of the scars and makeup can touch up any leftover marks.
Eyelid surgery can correct this condition. Excessive skin and fat may be removed from both upper and lower eyelid. Tightening of the lower lid may also be done in concurrence with this procedure. One to two weeks of bruising and swelling is expected from this procedure. Eyelid surgery may be done in combination with or separate from face lifts or other types of aesthetic surgeries of the face such as brow lifts to better proportion your facial features.
What surgery can improve the appearance of breasts?
Three common procedures are performed: breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction.
As long as the patient maintains a healthy life-style, including exercise and a sensible diet, liposuction results are long lasting. Once the fat cells have been removed from an area there is no longer a preferential fat storage area and any fat gain will be distributed more evenly over the rest of the body.

That’s why I decided to do something I’ve never done in January. I took my March stroll, the walk around the yard when I look for bits of green, tiny buds, and any hints of the coming spring. As I pushed fallen oak leaves aside, I felt like a kid searching the house for hidden Christmas presents — which, Mom and Dad, I never, ever did.
It’s abundantly clear how much we have in common. Amazing wit, devilishly good looks, a dab hand with a broom, a miracle worker in the garden & the same choice in plants. These could easily be shots from my own back yard…weeeds n’ all!
At least I know I’m in good company. Weeds do tend to thrive, no matter the season.
Love that Henbit. It’s an edible weed, right?
I must admit, I have no idea. In fact, readers, like yourself, identified it for me. I lumped it into the weed category, but it seems I need to brush up on what’s a weed and what’s not a weed. That is the question. Thanks for the help.
weed is the jerkish name for native species/plant.
You might be onto something. Thanks for your comment.
great photos, there always seems to be some kind of movement or growth in the garden even in a mild midwinter!
I think that’s the miracle of gardening — that life is happening all around us, even when we’re not looking.
Many, many thanks. It’s been a trip!
You could well be living next door, conditions here seem to be much the same. I like the shot of the Hardy Geranium best of all.
Hello Alistair. Today, February 1, the temperature topped 60 degrees. As much as I enjoyed the warmth, I’m a little concerned what this is doing to the internal clocks of the trees, shrubs, perennials, and wildlife. A very odd winter.
I have seen my winter aconites and snowdrops blooming, a full 2 -3 weeks early. And my honeybees are active!
I’m certainly in the gardening mood, but I wonder if there will be any long-term implications for the plants and wildlife. I wonder if the mild weather is throwing off their cycles.
It’s the same thing around here: I actually saw my neighbors yellow daffodils blooming almost 2 weeks ago! Funny, I do the same as you and take that spring stroll every year. We love our plants, don’t we?
Yes, we are crazy for our plants — and also to see some green after the browns and grays of winter, even one as mild as this one. Thank you for commenting, and enjoy your day!
I go around looking for little signs, too. They’re there if we just look! Your weeds are tiny compared to mine!
Ah! The anticicipation of it all. Wonderful!
oh my goodness, this post makes me wish desperately for spring. I love that walk around the garden just when things are about to jump into action.
It’s a very specific shade of green that does it or me. It’s fresh and new and bright — a sign of life in all of the brown. Soon. Very soon.
Thanks for the link to this book! And, again, for the Versatile Blogger nod. My daughter is visiting now, so I am coasting with vintage photo posts, but I will follow up on that soon.
You are very welcome, and very deserving. Enjoy the time with your daughter!
Just did the end-o–January pretending it’s March stroll yesterday. I was happy and dismayed to see my crocuses in full bloom. I scolded them soundly saying, “Don’t you guys have any idea how you are messing up my entire spring bulb plan???!!!” They refused to go back into the earth. I suppose I’ll just have to enjoy them and hope they don’t start a mass bulb uprising (pun intended) in the garden. Love the hardy geranium pic!
My advice: Arm yourself! The bulbs are coming!
I have more weeds growing with this mild winter than flowers I think. LOL! It is amazing and a little scary to see the plants starting to grow so early.
It is a little alarming to see things starting to bloom. I wonder if there will be any long-term implications to this sultry winter.
For as mild a winter as it has been, not much popping up here. But at the botanical garden today, I saw the daffodils sprouting, but not in my garden yet. Lots of nice images today, Kevin.
Glad you enjoyed the photos — but be vigilant. Spring is in the air — a little out of step, but on its way.
Frozen images of Europe are all over the news here. After our mild winter, it’s easy to forget how cold cold can be, and how dangerous. Stay warm and stay safe.
Kevin, In Gettysburg, the Feb. 1 temperature felt like April 1. Like you, I’ve found myself outside looking for new growth in the garden — and finding a surprising amount of it. I did see one long-range weather forecast that was predicting colder than average temperatures for the second half of February and for March. So maybe Punxatawney Phil (the most famous groundhog in Pennsylvania) was right about 6 more weeks of winter — but I’m finding it hard not to feel complacent about our mild winter thus far.
What I find interesting is how quickly I forget how cold cold can feel. I’ve heard the same forecasts and I’ve watched the footage of the frozen temps in Europe. Time will tell, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed for mild.
I like the version by Jars of Clay, Bleak Midwinter. Very nice. Mellow.
Yikes! Did you pull that henbit while you were out there?
I cannot imagine this is the last of the winter. I mean, really? That’s all?
The bugs will be horrendous, if this is all we get, dontcha think??
I’m not familiar with that band, but I will check them out. I left the weeds where they are — at least it’s green. And, I agree, spring should be interesting.
So glad I’m not the only one who knows this band.
Hello and thank you for visiting my blog. So far, so good — the mild weather continues and spring is in the air. That’s enough to give anyone an appetite! Happy harvesting!
Hello and thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed the photos and post.
Hello and thanks for visiting. Glad you enjoyed the photos and post. Cheers!
This is all a bit overwhelming — I will definitely stop by for a visit. Thanks for commenting.
Hello and welcome. So far, the weather seems to be holding up — no sign of snow and cold. I’ve seen on the news about the frigid weather encasing Europe. Stay warm — and here’s hoping to a speedy return to spring. Cheers!
These are stunning and beautiful colors!
I am a WordPress photoblogger as well, and nature is one of my favorite things to photograph. Great job.
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and I look forward to visiting your site.
50 degrees here in CT – and I think like many others have said, this whole winter just seems “off”. Oh I’ve got those weeds coming fast and furious too!
I thought this was really interesting. It is that time of year after all: the bulbs and the buds are coming out!
I’m glad you enjoyed the post — and many thanks for the reblogging honor. I appreciate the support.
I love this post! My backyard is full of buds! I have lilly of the valley and iris actually blooming! I have buds on my hydrangeas and my flowering trees. It’s just crazy!
Glad you found my blog, and I look forward to visiting your site. I haven’t seen buds yet — other than some crocus. But my eyes are wide open and eager for the thrill of spring. Enjoy your day.
Connie, thanks for stopping by. Spring is certainly a season of wonder — then again, all of the seasons have something to celebrate.
Kevin! You are freshly pressed..congratulations!
Sweet photos….what gorgeous colours in geranium….
I was so surprised! I thought something was wrong with the stats page when I saw the numbers going up and up. An amazing resonse, and I am so thankful for your support and encouragement. Best always!
Fresh photos. I really enjoy those first hints of life after winter. When I take my dog for our daily stroll in SoCal I always feel like we pass all four seasons. There are fall leaves, fresh blooms, bright summery flowers, and of course the occasional dead plant.
Glad you liked the photos. I’m trying to restrain myself from cleaning up all of the autumn and winter debris in an effort to hurry up and bring on spring and summer. Everything in its own time. Enjoy your long walks.
Love your photos and “anticipation” theme. I am in the same place as you right now, in Southern Ontario and watching for signs of life. Unlike Kevin, I have totally given over to the urge to clean up the autumn and winter debris, though.
Glad you found my site. I keep waiting for winter to get here — so I use the yard debris to keep the plants somewhat protected. I mean, winter will arrive. Won’t it?
I did not catch which part of the world you are gardening in, Kevin, but I truly believe it is giving us a miss in Southern Ontario this year. The snowdrops know best, and they are coming up.
I am located on Long Island, NY. The winter here has been extraordinarily mild — I just keep waiting for any sort of winter blast to get here. We shall see. . .
wow. I kept seeing them for a little more than you usually see a pic.
Hello and welcome to my blog. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the photos. Cheers!
The colors I love so…. Enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed the photos. Cheers!
Oh, how very lovely! Your hardy geranium is beautiful and would love to see your hydrangea’s once in bloom. Hopefully spring will arrive soon!
Many thanks for your kind words. Stay tuned for more bloomin’ pics. Spring will be here before we know it.
The balmy midwinter indeed! Just posted a similar entry about Boston’s breaking flora. I love your hydrangea buds peeking out of the crown. As we would say up here, they’re just chaahhhhming. Congrats on getting pressed!
I will definitely pop over to your site. This whole pressed thing has been amazing. Thanks for commenting and here’s to hoping we continue to enjoy a mild winter.
I do wonder if the mild weather will have an impact on trees and plants. I haven’t seen buds on the dogwood — yet. It’s only a matter of time. Thanks for commenting!
I love the sedum! But why oh why must weeds be so prolific? Mine aren’t growing yet here in Idaho…but they’ll be out with a vengeance soon. But they are pretty when you take a picture of them like that (and they’re in your yard…not mine).
I’m glad you can vicariously enjoy my weeds. It’s pretty amazing how green they are. A few more months, though, and they’re out of here. Thanks for commenting!
Your pictures are beautiful! They remind me of my father, who loves his yard and takes wonderful care of it. It was warm last week where I live, also. I took some pictures at the park. Flowers were in bloom. It has not been a bad winter. Thank you for sharing.
Hi. I’m so glad that the photos brought back some memories for you. They’re priceless. Enjoy the mild weather while it lasts. Cheers!
No signs of life yet in the garden, but I’m stalking….now the greenhouse is another story!
I am so ready to get in the potting shed and get seeds started. A few more weeks and I will be awash in green. Keep looking for spring.
The colors are vividly lovely.
Thank you for commenting and for your kind words. Enjoy your day.
Kris, thank you so much for commenting. I’m glad you enjoy my blog, and I look forward to popping over to your site. Cheers!
Ah, hints of spring in winter! . . . Lovely photos!
I love this, I’m such a plant lady. My room may be a small jungle.
Hello and thanks for commenting. You may be a plant lady, but after visiting your site, it’s safe to say that you’re also a book lady. Happy gardening — outdoors and indoors.
Your blogsite is very interesting, and I find your responses very amusing and profound at times. This site gives the gardener something to think about on the indoors!
Linda, thank you for visiting and for your kind words. Enjoy your day.
I don’t remember it although you might think I do, but the blizzard of 1888 was in March.
All we can do is hope for an early spring.
I know. And I also remember snowstorms in April. Waaaaahhhhhh.
I know. And I remember snowstorms in April. Waaahhhh.
Hello and welcome and thank you for commenting. Enjoy your day.
Hello and thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day.
Nice weed, dude. I am thinking about going ahead and putting out my weed and feed. Too early? South Carolina, zone 8 I think.
Thanks. I’m not too sure about the weed and feed — I never use the stuff. I like to weed the old fashioned way — but that’s another post. Glad you stopped by. Cheers!
From one plant geek to another. Awesome.
Hey there. Glad you liked the post and thanks for commenting. Cheers!
Thanks, and I’m glad you stopped by. Enjoy your day.
Sue from Grainry Antiques – great post! My azaelas are budding already and it’s going to freeze next week here in southern Indiana. Guess i won’t have these beautiful flowers (my favorite) again this year! My grass also needs to be cut! Waaay too early!
It is very early! I hope the freeze isn’t too damaging, but perhaps Mother Nature will be able heal herself do it’s not a total loss. Thanks for commenting.
Great inspiration to feed my spring fever! I walk out into the garden (when not covered by snow like now!) and always look for starts of life. Great photos, thanks for sharing!
Debbie, welcome! I’m glad I was able to help satisfy the Spring Fever itch. Just a few more weeks to go! Hang in there.
These beautiful pictures are sure to inspire our gardening group members in a very cold Scotland! Thank you.
Happy I could help — but Scotland, in my opinion, is inspiring in and of itself. Enjoy your day!
Eryka, welcome! I’m glad the you liked what you found here. Enjoy your day, and I’ll be sure to visit your site.
my dad has a green thumb.guess he’ll be gardening by the age of 60..those pictures are shouting of joy..healthy i guess.
I think it’s safe to say there’s joy and health in anything about which you’re passionate. Enjoy your day!
A fun post. Thanks for sharing. I’m waiting for the crocuses and daffodils to appear.
The blooms will be here before you know it. Hang in there. Cheers!
Wow! Thank you for sharing, and congrats on all the comments 🙂 I love the Bleak Midwinter carol too. I am originally from the midwestern US and it gets pretty darn bleak out there some times in the winter.
I always get that song stuck in my head, but when I sing it, I have never known anyone who knew it though, so it’s nice to read your post and know I’m not the only one!
Thanks for finding me. I find this particular carol very haunting — and I know for a fact that you and I are not the only people drawn to it. Hope you’ll be back again. Cheers!
I love this! I always get excited when I see the first shoots coming from the grown and buds starting to appear. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for visiting and commenting. There is nothing quite like those first shoots of green. Be well.
This is a nice post. Any bloom is a reminder of new beginnings—hope. Your article inspired me to be more keen on the “blooms” around me. Thumbs up!
Thank you for your kind words. I hope there is new life emerging for spring — wherever you are. Cheers!
Great post! I moved to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee earlier this year, so I am seeing ‘what comes back and when’ here for the first time. I tossed out a bunch of poppy seeds this fall, as they seem to grow well here. As Stevie Smith said of the blossoms in the gaudy print of her maiden aunt’s floral dress, ‘every one came up’. Looks like I will have a vivid red swath in my garden this summer.
That sounds amazing. I am a fan of red in the garden, and this year I plan on having lots of it. Stay tuned for a future post. Hope your garden dreams come true!
Martine, welcome and many thanks for commenting. Enjoy your day.
Nice blog, man! Something I want to work on this summer is my gardening. When I was little I used to help my parents with a our HUGE garden every (extended) summer, and I really miss digging my hands in the dirt. Thanks for continuing my new (old) urge to garden!
Glad I could trigger a memory and get you back in the dirt. It’s a great feeling to plant something and watch it grow. Happy planting!
I find this dramatically beautiful and interesting!
Hello and thanks for commenting. Enjoy your day!
I love the photos and the reminder that spring (and gardening season) is not too far around the corner. However, this year, it may come earlier than normal with the unusual warm weather we are having:) I enjoy gardening as well as photography myself. I will have to admit though….I’ve always taken loads of photos of my gardens in bloom but have yet to take photographs of them before they pop out of the grown…perhaps this is a chance for some new shots!
Hello and welcome. By all means, get that camera and capture spring emerging. Thank you for your kind words, and feel free to wander about. Cheers!
Hello and welcome. Glad you found my blog and enjoyed the content. Hope you have time to wander around. Cheers!
Great photos! I did my first gardening today. Pruned and mulched the collards that have overwintered. Pulled a few weeds. The garlic is looking great as are the onion sets I set out earlier.
Northcentral AR hasn’t seen any brutal cold at all.
Congratulations! I haven’t done any gardening — just picking up branches and hunting for hints of spring. Seeds will be started in a few weeks, and I cannot wait to get dirty! Cheers!
What a lovely site – I can’t wait for Spring to come to my garden so thank you for giving me an early peek of things to come!
You and me both. All of these little hints, I feel, are just a tease. Thanks for your comment. Cheers!
Yeah. I’m glad “global warming” is only a myth, aren’t you?
I know. The same thought is running through my head. Thanks for commenting.
Beautiful pictures! I can’t wait until Spring… Winter seems to me to be longer than usual this year. I’m looking forward to my garden bursting into bloom, but perhaps I should go out and look for the little first signs like you have!
I understand that your part of the world has been blasted with winter cold. Here, on the east coast of the States, it feels like spring wants to start, but winter keeps doing this dance. Actually, we have very little to complain about in terms of winter cold here. Stay warm, and thanks for your comment.
Your post and blog are lovely! This year I had to move from my long loved and tended garden in the northeast USA where I also took spring review of the garden. I am now transplanted (lol) to Shanghai China and live in a high rise where my gardening can’t extend beyond the herbs on my windowsill. It was so nice to read your blog and remember the days where I still needed gloves but I could feel the first hints of warmth on the back of my neck from the winter sunshine. I was totally transported. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Glad I could stir some memories for you. By the way, it does not matter how large or small your garden is — as long as you can make something grow and enjoy the rewards. Enjoy your day!
Hello and many thanks for the reblog!
I’ve seen the news coverage of the weather in Europe. The nice things about bulbs is that they’ll slow down in the cold, and then restart when it warms up. Hmmmmm. Sounds a little like me. Thanks for commenting.
Kevin, congrats on being ‘Freshly Pressed’!! I have enjoyed your blog for only a short time, but, definitely enjoy your posts.
Many thanks! I’m happy that you found me, and that you enjoy the content. Cheers!

In the summer of 2018, Michel Bouwens introduced us to the “coopyright” licensing model. It was founded jointly within the framework of the association “La Coop des Communs”.
Since it was only available in French, we translated it into English. The drafts have just gone online on the association’s website: Here you can find the English translation, and here the German one (still in a somewhat raw stage).
For us the model seems very interesting, although we are aware that this approach limits the actual open source idea. The unique thing about it is that different actors are assigned different license conditions simultaneously.
We have noticed that there is a great interest in further discussion. Nicole Alix of La Coop des Communs therefore suggested setting up a forum. We will report as soon as we know more.

For the past 2 years, I have watched the critical finger of my weighing scale point from 62 kg to 65 kg then finally 71 kg. Right now, my cabinet is filled with clothes from a stranger who wears small slim fit shirts and size 29 jeans. I jiggle a lot and get hurt far to quickly. Sick days have become more frequent as well. Every cell in this chubby yet still quite handsome frame I call a body is yelling for me to lose weight. I hear you body.
27:55.43 has become a formidable psychological version of the great wall of China. I know I can beat it. I just need to get into more 5k races. The wall goes down this year.
I am on fire right now. I feel like I could do 900 or maybe even 1000 this year. 1000 is a tad optimistic. 900 seems like a sure thing though. Good health and consistency seem to be the keys to executing this lofty goal.
I registered this race with a few new friends and a triathlon relay teammate. They were new recruits so I thought I’d ease them in to the racing scene with a fun race. We had dinner at Persian Palate, which was known for its healthy dining experience. I ordered chicken shawarma rice and devoured it along with some leftover kebab. Regret came swiftly as I walked. My stomach was so full that it ache with every step. Since it was about two hours to gunstart, my teammate and I decided to sleep in his girlfriend’s pickup truck. It was hot and cramp but we made do. We woke up with thirty minutes to spare and walked towards the venue. I led the newbies to a series of warm-up exercises while my teammate did his own routine. Afterwards, my teammate and I lined up at the very front of the pack. It did not escape my notice that my stomach was still busy digesting but there was nothing I could do about it now.
It was a mad scramble for position. My teammate, whose name is Mark Jason by the way, took the lead and I followed him patiently. He was going a bit faster than I’d like but it the strategy suited him. Competitiveness drove him and he kept pushing the pace. I caught sight of a friend named Jennifer and called out to her. She waved me over, took a selfie with me, and bolted away. I lost sight of my teammate and my friend within a space of seconds. It was at this point that I noticed that legs were not doing well.
I caught up to Jennifer but I was having trouble keeping up with her. Mark Jason was 50 meters away and still pushing the pace.
My legs were now sufficiently warmed up. I politely nodded at Jennifer and quickened my pace. Mark Jason was still way ahead of me.
When I finally caught up to Mark Jason, I position myself at his back like I always did during his training. I had trained him before and it made me proud to see him improve so quickly. He asked me if he should push the pace. I told him that it was up to him to decide.
I was having trouble keeping up with Mark Jason. He sped when I slowed and slowed when I sped. Our rhythms were out of sync and I was paying the price for it. My bulging belly did damage to my form as well. My stride was heavy and I was heel-striking.
We crossed the midpoint faster than I had predicted. Mark Jason’s 5k pace was a minute slower than my 5k PR pace but it was fast considering the condition I was in. I honored him and told him that he has nothing else to learn from me. He had broken thirty in the 5k.
After a bit of walking, I resumed running. To stop choking on my mucus, I breathed through my mouth. I hated it.
I caught up to Mark Jason and told him, “I’ll go on ahead. I’m having trouble adjusting to your pace.” As I went ahead, I allowed the beast to take over. It turned out that the beast hated losing to anyone even a former student and teammate.
At this stage, many runners became walkers. I passed them all. The beast purred with delight. In the distance, I spied a musclebound gym rat.
When I caught up to the gym rat, he engaged me in small talk. I obliged him then he suddenly bolted away.
I recognized my surroundings. The finish line was very near. I saw Mark Jason at the turn. He was looking weary but he was soldiering on. I took several deep breaths.
When I saw the finish line, something in me clicked. The beast snarled. I was performing my fastest kick in years. Everything blurred. I passed a lot of runners, walkers, and 5kers. I even passed the musclebound gym rat. When I crossed the finish line, I held my hands up jubilantly. I finally broke an hour in the 10k. The gym rat followed behind and sprinted towards the line for the finisher’s medals. No doubt still trying to beat me. What a nasty thought. I forgave myself and allowed the beast and his competitiveness to disappear. The race was done. It was time to celebrate. I found Mark Jason and the newbies later. My teammate had broken one hour as well. I wasted no effort in containing my pride and honored him some more. I honored the newbies as well. They finished with smiles on their faces. That was a victory in itself.
This race was different from last month’s race. It took place at night, which made this my first night race. The race t-shirt was black. The organizers exchanged the colorful powder with glow sticks and light thingies. I had only one friend with me this time. He registered for 5k while I moved up to 10k. Perhaps the greatest difference of all was my condition. I felt good. I felt really good. This was still a fun run but I felt really competitive that night.
At the gun start, I was positioned at the back. It was a very slow start. Runners were parading with their glow sticks in hand and almost everyone took selfies with their cellphones and GoPro cameras. I positioned my own glow stick inside my shirt at my back. When I finally got out of the middle pack, I increased my pace gradually. The glow stick kept bumping softly against my head creating some sort of rhythm that kept me going for eight kilometers. I only ever walked during my side trips to the water stations. I felt strong. I felt powerful. I felt invincible.
A dark thought suddenly crept into my heart. I could not possibly keep this going. I walked on the penultimate turn. Runners passed me one by one. I felt the sting of defeat as they did. Defeat was commonplace in me. I accepted them readily. A little too readily. Something snapped inside of me. It was the part of me that was born in the track. Its snarls keep me going during my speedwork. With it, I would issue challenges to elites fearlessly. I may lose a lot during long distance racing but I was at least competitive with the local elites when it came to the track. It was the beast and it ignited fire in my heart down to my legs. I passed each runner that had passed me during my momentary walk of defeat. The last stretch, which was the kick zone, was riddled with selfie and groufie addicts. I did not lose speed but instead sped up even more. It was like threading a needle at high-speed. The beast enjoyed the extra challenge. I was sprinting with my all in the end and passed the finish line victoriously.

Mike Trevisan, dean of the WSU College of Education, has received a Fulbright Specialist Award from the U.S. Department of State. The program sends U.S. faculty and professionals to various academic institutions abroad for 2-6 weeks to serve as expert consultants on curricula, faculty development, institutional planning and related subjects.
A professor in the college’s educational psychology program, Trevisan is an expert in program and policy evaluation, and will be going to Seoul, South Korea, for two three-week visits to work with faculty and students at Korea University, one of the top research universities in the country.
Award recipients are selected not only because of their academic and professional achievement and leadership skills, but also because of their potential to foster long-term cooperation between institutions in both countries. In this case, Trevisan will work with faculty and students at Korea University to develop evaluation models that will be piloted in K-12 schools in Korea to support recently implemented programs designed to enhance student well-being.
One of the metrics used in this initiative is that of faculty awards, specifically “prestigious/highly prestigious faculty awards.” This is one of the 11 metrics used in recognizing the university as a top 25 public research university. Fulbright awards are among a short list of awards that can be counted in this metric.
For further information about the Fulbright Specialist Award program, visit http://eca.state.gov/fulbright.

Samantha Youssef will be teaching a figure drawing workshop for concept artists at Syn Studio's Gathering of the Masters 2017! It's going to be a great event! You can read more about it here.
Art Models are releasing their tenth book compilation, Art Models 10.
It has a great variety of poses; from classical poses, character & performance oriented poses, dynamic poses, a selection of hand & feet references and portrait shots. After seeing the book, the selection of poses in this collection is inspiring.
There are also some of the poses from the photo shoot I had the opportunity to direct for The Youssef Drawing Syllabus: Movement & Form!
As figurative or character artists, it's essential to study the human figure from life. Nothing replaces that experience. However as access to a studio space with a model can be difficult or not always accessible at every hour of the day, Art Models has provided the absolute best resource I have come across that comes as close to being in a live studio as you can achieve.
Every pose they photograph is available digitally with a full 360 rotation from their custom studio, which is built to photograph the model at every angle so that you can turn the pose around and get a real sense of how it works, recreating the opportunities that only being in a studio space can afford you.
Adding to that, their models are incredible, the photography and lighting is beautiful.
Their latest book offers a great variety and samples of their work, and for the full library, you can visit them on Posespace.com!
Had a great time at the CTN expo this year! As always it's wonderful to see friends and fellow artists. Thank you everyone who came by! It was great to meet new people, and especially wonderful to have so many people come by and share what they loved about Movement & Form! Thank you so much!
See you at CTN 2016!
Looking forward to seeing everyone at CTN next week! Come by and visit the Studio Technique table! Copies of Movement & Form will be available as well as book signing!
Come say hi at Table T-138!
Still globetrotting via Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, London and Stockholm! There have been lot's of masterclasses focusing on The Youssef Drawing Syllabus: Movement & Form and artistic training taking place. It's been a while since we have shared what has been happening at Studio Technique, but here is a little post of a recent trip!
I have recently returned to Stockholm at King studios. Had a great time teaching a masterclass there! I also was able to experience their famous forrest!
A great treat was joining Johan and Veronica, artists and animators from Cinematic Studios in Stockholm, at the ballet! The theatre was amazing! Stockholm is always a wonderful place to visit!
Its been a while since I've posted an update! There has been a lot of travel to go to different studios that have been requesting the Artistic Training Program and masterclasses focusing around the content in The Youssef Drawing Syllabus: Movement & Form. Here are some pictures from Vancouver, Canada.
I had such a great time going to British Columbia to work with the artists at Bardel. Such a great team of talented people!
Afterwards on to Kelowna, with another incredible team from Bardel!
Thank you Sebastien Dassault for a great time talking and inviting me to be part of the amazing Interviews with Creatives series!
Comic Con with Dr. Sketchy Montreal!
Had a great time teaching the Dynamic Posing Workshop at Comic Con, co-hosted with Dr.Sketchy Montreal! We drew Catwoman modelled by the amazing Danielle Hubbard! Thank you to everyone who attended and made it a fun event!

A State of Emergency has been declared for three states: Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. This comes as Subtropical Storm Alberto prepares to make landfall on the western Florida Panhandle Monday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and flooding, tropical-storm-force winds, tornadoes, storm surge, and rough surf.
Alberto has likely peaked in strength since Sunday evening with an aircraft reconnaissance flight recorded sustained winds at one part of the storm to be at 65 mph. There is now loads of dry air containing to wrap around the storm while working toward its center, which will prevent much further strengthening. This dry air has also prevented Alberto from transitioning from subtropical to tropical, but either way the impacts will be the same.
Subtropical Storm Alberto will make landfall Monday afternoon or evening on the western Florida Panhandle between Pensacola and Panama City Beach likely as a 65 mph storm. It will then track inland through midweek, bringing heavy rains to portions of the Tennessee and Ohio River Valleys.
There are a multitude of threats Alberto will bring, including the flooding rains, strong winds, tornadoes, storm surge, and rough surf. We’ll break down each threat below.
Rain will be the biggest story with Alberto. Almost all of the Southeast will deal with at least a brief period of rain. Alberto will deliver a widespread one to three inches of rainfall to the Southeast now through Wednesday night. Three to eight-plus inches of rain is expected in those two areas, which includes the western Florida Panhandle and eastern Alabama and parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains.
This heavy rain will likely lead to flash flooding, especially where over five inches of rain falls. Much of this rain will fall in a short period of time, especially at the northern Gulf Coast. The Weather Prediction Center has this region in a high risk for flash flooding. This basically guarantees that some locations will indeed deal with flooding. Flooding is also a concern in South Florida. It’s been a very wet May and the month will end on a very wet note. In Miami, rainfall is over half a foot above average month-to-date. With additional rounds of rain and thunderstorms ahead through mid-next week from Alberto, that will allow for flooding due to the very saturated soil.
In terms of timing on Monday, the core of Alberto will move onshore, which will contain very heavy rain. Atmospheric moisture values will likely break records due to the loads of moisture this cyclone will carry. This core will primarily affect the western Florida Panhandle and southeastern Alabama during the day. In the remainder of the Southeast, there won’t be any organized rain. Instead, storms will be in the hit or miss, scattered variety. Then overnight Monday, the heavy rain surrounding the center of Alberto will become more scattered and disorganized due to the storm’s primary fuel source: the warm ocean waters. Therefore, rounds of heavy rain can be expected in the Florida Panhandle, Alabama, Georgia, and the southern Appalachian Mountains.
Now on Tuesday, the center of this storm will remain over Alabama. By this time period, the storm will have weakened into a tropical depression. This just means that winds will be weaker but the heavy rain will remain. Scattered showers and storms will work into portions of the Southeast coast and especially Florida associated with Alberto’s feeder bands. Meanwhile, the center of Alberto will move into the Tennessee River Valley, bringing in heavy rain to these areas.
During the latter half of the week, that rain will move into the Ohio River Valley, eastern Great Lakes, and parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. Localized areas may deal with flooding due to the pockets of heavy rain working into saturated soil.
The threat for flooding due to storm surge will exist with Alberto. The National Hurricane Center has placed the areas from the Suwannee River to Navarre, Florida under a Storm Surge Watch. This means there is a possibility of life-threatening inundation from rising water moving inland from the coastline in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. This watch may be upgraded to a warning, but the confidence is low to moderate on whether this surge will actually occur.
As with most tropical cyclones, the threat for wind always exists. At this time, sustained winds are forecast to clock up to 65 mph at landfall. Significant damage from wind is not expected, and the strongest of winds will only affected an isolated area just east of the center of the low pressure. Wind gusts in some locations may reach 65 mph.
A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued from the Suwannee River to the Mississippi/Alabama border. This means that tropical storm conditions (winds greater than or equal to 39 mph) are expected in some parts of the warning area.
Brief tornadoes will be a risk with Alberto. As the storm moves to the north, the threat for tornadoes will follow. Our forecasters suggest that the risk for low-end tornadoes will exist across most of the Southeast, especially as this storm makes landfall on Monday. This Sunday, the risk will only exist in Florida as bands of thunderstorms move onshore.

was the most powerful Khal in the Dothraki sea, with a khalasar of forty thousand warriors and he had never been defeated in battle.
Magister Illyrio Mopastis arranged his marriage to Daenerys Targaryen. Viserys Targaryen sold his sister to Khal Drogo so he could gain an army of Dothraki warriors that he could use to regain the Iron Throne. But Viserys is a cruel fool, and after threatening Daenerys and her unborn child's life, Khal Drogo kills him by giving him a crown of molten gold.
He takes a wound to his chest in a battle, and it becomes severely infected. Daenerys desperately seeks the help of a maegi she saved when the khalasar attacks a village. The maegi Mirri Maz Duur betrays Daenerys and only revives Drogo into a catatonic state, while killing their unborn child, Rhaego, in the process. Daenerys burns him together with the maegi on the bonfire that gives birth to her three dragons.

1. A pressure difference may exist between the two streams of fluid. The rigid boundaries of the heat exchanger are designed to withstand the pressure differences.
2. One stream could contaminate the other if allowed to mix. The impermeable, separating boundaries of the heat exchanger prevents mixing.
3. To permit the use of an intermediate fluid better suited than either of the principal exchange media for transporting waste heat through long distances. While the intermediate fluid is often steam, glycol and water mixtures and other substances can be used to take advantage of their special properties.
Closed heat exchangers fall into the general classification of industrial heat exchangers, however they have many pseudonyms related to their specific form or to their specific application. They can be called recuperators, regenerators, waste-heat boilers, condensers, tube-and-shell heat exchangers, plate-type heat exchangers, feedwater heaters, economizers, and so on. Whatever name is given all perform one basic function: the transfer of heat across rigid and impermeable boundaries. Sections 8.3 and 8.4 provide much more technical detail concerning the theory, application, and commercial availability of heat exchangers.

Hi What is the meaning of "Not the worst idea"?
What does it mean if something is a candidate? What does "scheme" mean in "The ambitious scheme led by Germany to build a super grid..."? What does it mean if a person has an unnatural concern over you? Use mutation and mutagen in the same sentence? Why is B O N E R so much fun to say?

My sister, mom and I get so many phone calls, texts and emails asking how things are going, what’s going on and are there any updates…so I thought I’d put them all into one little post here.
I’m 32 weeks along now and still feeling good, although I’ve had to slow ‘er down quite a bit. I’m feeling big and awkward and I’m simply just not as agile as I used to be. Ya know how there’s that window in pregnancy where you feel vibrant and cute?
Well, that window has closed, friends.
Here I am last week at 31 weeks.
I had an appointment with my doctor here in the US and all is fine. Baby’s heartbeat was 140 exactly. Hannah’s was always higher, but my doc assured me that the heart rate is absolutely no indicator of if it’s a boy or girl. Ha!
We’re so thankful and excited for this sweet baby that will be here in about 9 weeks!
The shipment of baby gear that was shipped to Luxembourg has arrived at our house and Shawn has been busily cleaning out the baby’s room and assembling the furniture. It’s been so long since we’ve had a baby in the house…it will seem funny to have a crib and all that baby stuff around again.
He’s still hanging in, although we received devastating news that there’s nothing more that can be done. My sister had returned to Los Angeles early last week, but hopped on a red eye two nights ago and is here with us again in Ohio. We’re spending what remaining time we have at the hospital with him. We’re all exhausted down to our bones but making the most of it. We’ve been so, so blessed by friends and family who’ve been helping us out during this time. We don’t know how the timing will all fall into place, but Shawn is planning on being back in the US with us later this week.
Last Saturday, my mom and I took a little afternoon break from the hospital, doctors, nurses, IV’s and talk of all things respiratory and took this little princess to see the Disney Princesses on ice.
I had mentioned to I don’t even remember who that we were going to the ice show and what a shame it was that all of Hannah’s princess dress up costumes were in Luxembourg. Wouldn’t you know that a few days later a package showed up on my parents’ porch that contained this dress, tiara, necklace and clip-on earrings?
You made a little girl’s day, I tell ya.
And finally, a few weeks ago, someone older and much wiser than I gave these words to me. They’re quite fitting.
Lovely poem Tina, and a lovely princess you have as well.
So sorry to hear your father will not get better... take good care of your family.

Are you ready for some football? The team owners in the League To Be Named Later Fantasy Football League certainly are. We gathered for our annual Auction draft last Friday night. I was berated at the beginning of the night for causing too much "BS" in the background in past auction drafts, so I figured I'd better be extra good this year. That lasted for about 10 minutes or so.
Steve "Cuds" Cuddihy is the best Fantasy Commissioner in the business! He runs a Top Notch draft complete with a fully interactive digital draft board, a live Auctioneer named Curtis, wireless internet access, and a catered meal for all participants. Nothing but class with this guy.
In our auction draft, team owners each get a Fantasy $200.00 to bid on their favorite players. We also each get to keep two players for up to thee seasons. I was feeling pretty confident heading into the evening with Arian Foster under contract for only $10.00 and Jordy Nelson for only a buck. Then somebody threw Adrian Peterson out there early and my Vikings love got the best of me and I overpaid for him which cost me $49.00. I should have held out for Darren McFadden the way I keep hearing the Vikings say they are going to hold Adrian Peterson back until they're sure his knee is healed. I'm hoping the rest of my team can carry me through the start of the season until he's completely back in action!
We have a pretty competitive group of fellows participating in the league every year. But I'm confident I'm gonna beat all of them! I just can't wait for the season to begin!

Virginia Theological Seminary has a deep heritage of planing new churches and launching missions -- here in northern Virginia and the metropolitan area of Washington DC, and across the country and world. Faculty members and seminarians alike "rode out" to start new congregations.
Design and implement evangelism and public faith initiatives for their churches and networks.
Students coming to VTS can focus specfiically on evangelism, church planting, and public faith. CCE oversees the New Mission Practices track of the M.Div. program and, in partnership with surrounding Episcopal dioceses and congregations, creates field education opportunities in church planting and relaunching. CCE also works closely with the doctoral program in its focus on evangelism and public faith.
CCE also offers instructional opportunities in evangelism, public faith, and new ministry development on campus and with partnering churches and organizations. CCE supports the Episcopal Church Center's work in evangelism and church planting.
Gortner's four-phase approach to planting and relaunching churches has become a foundation for CCE's church plant initiatives: (1) evangelistic conversations, (2) intentional invitation, (3) partnership bridge-building, and (4) launch planning.

PINEVILLE, La. – The Louisiana National Guard’s 921st Engineer Company, 528th Engineer Battalion cleared and grubbed 15 acres of land around Grambling State University’s catfish research ponds near Ruston, March 30 – June 15.
The 15 engineer Soldiers cleared trees, undergrowth and debris from the area, and widened the entrance road. Grambling is planning on using the area for academics with a focus on environmental research, a safe place for recreational activities and a tailgating and RV parking area that can be used during campus events.
According to a release from Grambling State University, Marc Newman, GSU vice president of institutional advancement, said the project has been in the works for a few years, and the effort got underway recently when everything came together.
Innovative Readiness Training projects like this one are used to build and strengthen partnerships between local communities and the Guard and provide training for Soldiers working on the projects.
The Soldiers used the project to gain hands-on experience normally gained during their two-week annual training each year. The project allowed them to become more proficient on equipment they use during state and federal missions.
During the clearing process, the engineers used equipment such as bulldozers, graders, hydraulic excavators, 10-ton dump trucks, skid steers with root buckets and a compactor. They also used scrapers and chainsaws.
the levee at Louisiana State Penitentiary (Angola), adding additional sleeping quarters to the Caddo Parish Fire Station and a rugby field at Louisiana State University – Alexandria. Annual training projects include installing culverts in Farmerville, creating a practice field for the band at Louisiana College and adding a bathroom at the park in Cheneyville.

USED nappies and toilet paper, bottles and plastic bags were some of the items removed from the Vaal River as part of the Clear Rivers Campaign initiated by the Department of Water and Sanitation, yesterday.
Spokesperson for the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS), Amogelang Moholoeng, said that the campaign, which was run in partnership with Sedibeng Water and the community of Pniel, was aimed at encouraging communities to abstain from littering precious water resources and to promote awareness about water pollution.
He added that as the country was recovering from one of the worst droughts in decades, the threat of water pollution by communities, mining, agriculture and industry could not be tolerated.

Engineers are people who design, build, or maintain engines, machines, or structures. Inside their heads there are an astounding array of images, impressions, plans, and equations.
That means outside their brains they gravitate toward simple, clean lines, yet sturdy, and interesting symmetry in their individual and collective workspaces.
We offered our client the combination of DuPont Corian Modern White countertops, real wood Quartered Anigre wood veneers and Wilsonart Wallaby plastic laminates. The result is crisp, clean, open. Optimally conducive for the individual contemplation and refinement of an idea — and the external collision of diverging mindsets.

Is there something you would like to change? Perhaps lose weight, stop smoking, find the confidence to believe in yourself or start something new? Are you seeking the motivation and energy to achieve your goals or enhance your performance? Do you have a fear or phobia which is interfering with your daily life? Do you need help to generally cope better or have a good nights sleep?
Whether it be worries surrounding your work or personal life, difficulty coping, a feeling that something is off balance or just a desire to feel happier, hypnotherapy can help you get yourself back on track, make the very best of life and perhaps feel even better than you did before!
Is it time for a brighter life?
We all have a wide range of resources within, which help us to cope, feel healthy, make sensible decisions, reach our goals and most importantly be happy and enjoy our lives. When stress levels increase, which can happen quickly or over time, these resources become harder to reach and negativity can take over. Hypnotherapy helps you to tap into these positive resources to bring out the very best in you.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern, forward thinking, positive and enjoyable form of therapy. Working together, we will help you to identify solutions unique to you and give you the confidence to make vital changes for your benefit, through the use of psychotherapy (talking therapy) and hypnotherapy (trance).
I only use Hypnotherapy for therapeutic purposes. Contrary to what we see on television trance is not magic and I can’t make you do anything that you do not want to!
Have you ever completely lost track of time reading or watching TV? Or driven to your destination yet can’t remember the journey? Trance is very ordinary and happens many times a day. It is a pleasant and relaxing state in which we have access to the subconscious mind. This is of huge benefit and helps us in many ways.
Hypnotherapy can help to you to feel better, more fulfilled, calm and happy. If you have an issue which is not listed then please do contact me as there is a good chance I will be able to help you, or point you in the right direction.
If you are truly ready for a change and have both the determination and commitment to succeed, then Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is both enjoyable and effective and I very much look forward to hearing from you.
