Last summer, August to be exact, my family and I had a truly wonderful vacation in Iceland. Telling you about that trip here on Red Shutters has been on my to do list ever since. Today is finally the day that I share our Iceland travel top ten tips, perfect for vacation dreamers and those heading to Iceland in the near future.
Icelandic horses, waterfalls, the Blue Lagoon, glaciers, Viking houses, cooled lava to climb on, and striking churches – there’s much to do in Iceland.
People were surprised when I said we were going to Iceland on vacation. I got a lot of confused looks, especially from those who don’t know very much about the country. Yes, we needed to wear jackets in August, but the cold weather pales in comparison to the country’s fascinating history (Vikings! Equal pay for women! The Cod Wars!) and striking natural wonders (Volcanoes! Waterfalls! Glaciers! Geysers!). Plus, it’s quicker to fly to Iceland from Boston than it is to fly to the west coast of the US, reminding travelers how close Europe really is. For those seeking to understand a bit more about Iceland, I recommend the Insight Guide to Iceland . We brought this book on our trip, and it provided a helpful introduction to the country’s culture and helped us map out our visit.
Okay, experienced travelers are rolling their eyes right now, and I appreciate that. But hear me out.
When I travel, I alternate between being someone who plans every second of a vacation and someone who is pretty laissez-faire, letting things happen. The laid back approach often can result in unexpected discoveries that make the whole vacation. That’s why I’m a fan. But we were traveling with two kids, ages seven and eight, and knew that having some things—like our housing—booked before we left the US would be critical to avoiding chaos. We used Airbnb to stay in homes instead of hotels, and we specifically selected a variety of places—a modern apartment in Reykjavik, a log cabin near the Golden Circle, and a townhouse in Vik—to give our family an introduction to how Icelandic people live. This worked very well for us, and my kids loved the places we stayed, the most memorable spot being the log cabin that came with its own hot spring and a trampoline.
The other must-visit spot we booked from home was the Blue Lagoon. One of Iceland’s more famous tourist spots, the Blue Lagoon is a spa created by Iceland’s geothermal energy use. The water is warm and an calming white-blue color. You float around the large pools, trying out face creams, sipping cocktails, and relaxing. It’s only 10 miles from the airport, making it an easy stop on your way in or out of the country. Booking in advance allows you to coordinate your visit with your flight, and is important as the Blue Lagoon does sell out.
The Blue Lagoon was my seven-year-old daughter’s favorite vacation moment, and I agree with her. I would have stayed at the Blue Lagoon all day, had my family not been impatient for our next adventure. My husband and I purchased a package that included flip-flops, towel, bathrobe, and one drink, and the kids were free, though you could make do with the towel-only option. If you go, make sure to bring your bathing suit.
We rented a car at the airport. Super easy. We selected a sedan, but if I were to do it again, I’d get a 4×4 so we could explore some of the more remote roads. In Iceland, car rental companies won’t coverage car problems on F roads—the more remote roads—unless you have a 4×4, and the last thing you want to do is blow a tire or damage the axle driving over a bumpy, unpaved road. That being said, we were fine with a sedan and saw everything we set out to cross off our list.
Additionally, it is possible to see Iceland without a car. You could take a bus tour of the Golden Circle, or get a hired car to and from Reykjavik and the Blue Lagoon. You can find out more information about that option here.
What do you think of when someone says Icelandic food? Do you think delicious? You should.
For good pizza, inventive cocktails, and a cool vibe, try The Pizza Place with No Name.
For classic Icelandic fish dishes done so well I wish we had eaten here more than once, Fish & Chips on Tryggvagata 8 is your destination.
For people watching and drinks, Cafe Paris’ patio was the perfect mid-afternoon spot.
For very good Middle Eastern food, go Meza on Laugavegur. We stumbled upon this restaurant for lunch one day, and I have recommended it to friends with upcoming trips to Iceland.
For a cup of Iceland’s why-can’t-I-get-coffee-this-good-at-home, try Te and Kaffi, Iceland’s take out coffee chain.
We also popped into a grocery store in Reykjavik for snacks and breakfast foods, creating an obsession with Icelandic yogurt (thankfully, you can find it in the US). I also stuffed my suitcase with Icelandic chocolate bars, giving them away as gifts and hiding them away for midnight cravings.
In the west, we ate lunch at the Hotel Budir’s restaurant, enjoying the beautiful view from the hotel.
In Selfoss, we grabbed lunch at Kaffi Krus on Austurvegar 7, which had the best cappuccino I’d had in years, and it was very family friendly.
In Vik, the owner of our Airbnb recommended Hallodorskaffi for dinner, and it was a suggestion I am glad we followed. The restaurant was filled with a mix of locals and tourists, and featured traditional food as well as pizza and vegetarian options.
In Borgarnes, we ate the restaurant at the Settlement Museum. It was pricey but delicious.
My family’s favorite Icelandic dish is plokkfiskur, a fish stew, which I had at three different restaurants during our visit. It’s a mix of cod and potatoes that you eat with dark rye bread. Yum. Thankfully, my husband has learned how to re-create it at home for whenever we’re feeling nostalgic for Iceland. While we were in Vik, my husband and son also tried kæstur hákarl, or dried and fermented shark, as it is the “national dish” of Iceland. They decided it wasn’t for them, but I was impressed that they gave it a go.
It is possible to drive completely around Iceland on the Ring Road; if you have the time and inclination, such a drive gives you an opportunity to see all the country has to offer. Since a long car trip with two kids didn’t sound fun, we elected to stick to the southern part of Iceland, traveling from Snaefellsnes in the west to Vatnajokull National Park in the southeast.
Upon arriving, we explored Reykjanes Peninsula, showing the kids their first hot spring, located in Gunnuhver. We made Reykjavik our home for the first part of our visit. While there, we explored the city and took one day to drive up the west coast to Snaefellskojul National Park, where we hiked and went spelunking in Vatnshellir, a 10,000 year-old cave. Then, we moved to a house off the Golden Circle for a few days. We were based about 20 minutes outside Laugarvatn, which was a good spot to explore. Then, we were off to Vik and the southeast part of the country.
My family spent a few days, walking around Reykjavik, exploring. We went into bookstores, looking for Harry Potter translated into Icelandic, and we attended Menningarnótt, Iceland’s annual culture festival that shuts down parts of the city for musical and dance performances, art exhibits, a giant water slide, and more interactive fun.
Two spots in Reykjavik I highly recommend are the 871+2 Settlement Exhibition and the National Museum. Both offer wonderful ways to learn about the country’s history. We also went to Harpa Concert Hall and Hallingrimskirkja, the famous church designed to mimic cooled lava waves that dominates the city skyline. Both are must-sees, and it’s worth the money to go to the top of the church for panoramic views of the city.
My husband’s favorite thing about Iceland was the Skogafoss waterfall. It’s a beautiful spot—so much of Iceland is!—and it’s absolutely worth hiking to the top. My son’s favorite was part of Iceland was the cool landscape, which is a unique, almost otherworldly topography, due the cooled lava that forms much of the country. Make sure to bring your camera, and be open, as you’re traveling about the country, to stopping alongside the road when you see a striking spot.
Pingvellir National Park, Geysir, and Gullfoss on the Golden Circle were also highlights for us.
Alas, we didn’t see the Northern Lights while we were in Iceland, but if you go in the winter, you should be able to spy them dancing across the night sky. In a vain effort to see them, I used this website to track their visibility. Hopefully, you will spy them when you visit.
Be aware that Iceland is an expensive travel destination. You can use credit cards virtually everywhere, and good Wi-Fi is plentiful. We used Google Maps and Waze apps to navigate, purchasing extra data from our cell phone providers to do so. English is spoken quite a bit, and we found Icelandic people to be friendly and welcoming. Also to note is that Icelandair offers stopovers in the country for travelers flying to Europe. For no extra charge, you can spend some time in Iceland before continuing on to your next destination, giving you no reason to delay a visit.
I’d absolutely go back. On my next trip, I’d drive around the country on the Ring Road, visiting the north, and I’d explore the Vestmannaeyjar islands in the south. I’d also visit Reykjavik’s art museums, something we didn’t get a chance to do with the kids, and I’d look for hidden hot springs. I’d also—maybe—try shark!
Do you want to go to Iceland now? Let me know if you do; I’d love to hear what you think about this very special place.
What’s new on Red Shutters?
I absolutely do want to go back. Thanks for the great tips. Next time we’re getting a 4×4. And while I know it’s not PC I recommend trying whale. On the menu as an appetize at The Pearl, that great round restaurant that sits atop a hill overlooking the city.

Today, Pakistan is passing through a sensitive era. Pakistan’s major portion of its population is youth. Every year thousands of graduates pass their graduation but still there is unemployment at its peak. Our government and corporate world, both entities failed to provide opportunities to youth. The key solution to all these problems is entrepreneurship. Through entrepreneurship youth can utilize its intellect in a new dimension.

Jumpstart Pakistan is an event whose basic aim is to produce and to support young entrepreneurs.
The JumpStart entrepreneurship campaign is envisioned as an attempt at social change through technology.
The CEOs are already looking to invest in start-ups and make money off them. In this case, they might have a hands-off business in a couple of years and retain the equity.
How does Jumpstart Pakistan Work?
In this event Jumpstart Pakistan took hundreds of applications from all over the Pakistan. Jumpstart Pakistan believes that entrepreneurial ideas has the power to change the society and boost the economy of Pakistan. Once the idea gets approved, Jumpstart Pakistan provide best mentoring from masters of corporate world and entrepreneurs. These gurus will also provide them with investment and other important skills. Through Jumpstart Pakistan you can play your role in changing Pakistan.

Entrepreneurial mindset is the most important quality that youth needs because entrepreneurship is the only hope of Pakistan. The basic infrastructure of Jumpstart Pakistan is to support the best idea and to mentor the entrepreneur from the CEOs of existing companies. These gurus will support them and make a person eligible enough so that he could lead from the front. After training these enthusiastic entrepreneurs, the mentors will step down when they will realize that co-founder is ready enough to take the responsibility of the CEO of the company.
Many startups presented their ideas at Jumpstart Pakistan, Islamabad. The idea behind this conference was to promote entrepreneurship in Pakistan by guiding young people to create business models under experienced businessmen. The event partners were P@sha , Microsoft and many others. Some impressive ideas were presented in front of the reputable jury. Like a 9th grade Mubashir Hassan presented his idea in the livestock field. Mubashir from Gujranwala believed that there are many new ways to change the present scenario of Livestock Industry in Pakistan. He also talked about the ways that can convert farming into a flourishing business in Pakistan. Mubashir spell bounded audience and he also got a standing ovation. After number of sessions, 5 teams were selected and launched in front of investors in Shephard’s Pie Session.
Representatives of Moftak said they were trying to get together 1,500 start-ups for the next five years under the banner of Jumpstart campaign. So let us all keep our fingers crossed and wait for the time when we see a long stream of passionate entrepreneurs flourishing in our country.

For the first time in Manitoba’s history, a school trustee candidate is running a campaign calling for 100-per-cent funding of education by the provincial government.
Lorne Weiss, chair of the Manitoba Real Estate Association’s political action committee and a past-president of WinnipegREALTORS®, called Winnipeg School Division candidate Colin Fast’s campaign groundbreaking.
“It’s extremely timely as Winnipeg School Division has just announced it’s going to increase school taxes by two per cent,” he added.
Both MREA and WinnipegREALTORS® are members of a coalition of Manitobans calling for the reform of the education funding system.
The coalition of organizations and citizens, representing about 250,000 Manitobans, wants school divisions’ ability to fund education through property taxes eliminated with the province picking up the tab.
The province now funds from between 65 to 70 per cent of education— the percentage varies depending upon whom is asked — and is phasing in 80 per cent funding of education. The remainder will still come from school divisions taxing property owners.
The coalition said education is a societal benefit and should be funded in the same way as health care through provincial general revenues.
“Most Manitobans have no idea who their school trustees are or what decisions they’re making,” Fast wrote to media outlets. “That’s why my proposal to move to 100 per cent provincial funding would actually enhance accountability, with the education minister and premier having to answer to the public on the issue.
Weiss said members of the two Manitoba REALTOR® associations also support Fast’s call for further amalgamation of Winnipeg’s six school divisions. “How many school divisions and trustees are needed in Winnipeg?” asked Weiss. “There are now 54 trustees representing six school divisions and for all of Winnipeg there are only 15 city councillors.
“It’s becoming increasingly clear as the divisions continue to hike taxes, despite receiving increased funding from the province, that they cannot deliver balanced budgets. Maybe the school divisions in Winnipeg should look at some of their duplications in services,” Weiss added.
Weiss said Winnipeg School Division is claiming costs have risen when school enrollment continues to drop — a trend experienced in the majority of Manitoba’s school divisions.
Six of province’s eight largest school divisions are rejecting Education Minister Peter Bjornson’s tax incentive grant (TIG) to freeze school property taxes and are instead increasing taxes. The hikes range from an average $25.11 cost to the owner of a $100,000 home in Winnipeg School Division to a $98 increase in Steinbach.
Premier Gary Doer told CJOB radio during an interview that school divisions should be using the $60 million they have in reserve to maintain a property tax freeze.
“All of us have to be sensitive to affordability in a tough year,” he said on an early morning radio show.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Peter Bjornson told the media he is waiting to see how the school’s budgets unfold before challenging their tax increases.
The province has the right to reject or accept a school board’s budget, but it cannot mandate a tax freeze unless the legislation covering education is changed.
At Evergreen School Division, the school board which is based in Gimli has accepted the province’s TIG and will freeze property taxes in its budget.
But most urban school divisions claim accepting the province’s TIG is not sufficient to freeze property taxes and maintain programs. River East said in order to qualify for a $687,172 TIG and freeze taxes, the division would have to cut $1.8 million from its spending estimates.
“It’s apparent the school divisions are not listening to the education minister,’ said Weiss. “So he should take a serious look at how education is funded in Manitoba.
“Meanwhile, we’re letting our members know if they live in Winnipeg School Division and are eligible to vote that there is a candidate supportive of their position,” he added.
The Winnipeg School Division board of trustees election is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17.

I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Lost In Dublin, from John Richard and it is quite uniquely cool! Opening with country flavored rocker, I Fall Apart, John Richard steps up to the mic and belts out vocals that sound amazingly like Jack Bruce. Backed by Jordan Murphy on drums, Charlie Phillips on bass, and Christien Belliveau on steel and acoustic guitars, this vocalist really hits it square. I also gotta say, Carter Chaplin on lead vocal does a terrific job with stellar lead work with unique phrasing and hints of Jimmy Page. Excellent! On Some Things Never Get Paid, Richard's vocals are somewhat distorted creating a cool aesthetic. A very simple rhythm pattern is laid out by Mike Trask on drums, Mark Doucet on bass and Belliveau on keys and a frantic guitar solo by Trask sets this track apart. Soulful ballad, Volumes of Beautiful Words, has a really nice melody and cool sonic pedal guitar effects by Belliveau. R&B track, Can't Help It is the tallest track for radio play. With it's catchy melody and simple instrumentation, it's sure fire. R&B style track, I Wish You'd Come With Me, is a real nice showcase for Richard's voice. Tight instrumentation and solid melody, this could be a 60's hit. Very nice. Black Church is an interesting track with traces of 60's detective/surf soundtracks with cool tom tom work by Colby Jardine and cool guitar work by Keith Hallett. Wrapping the release is soulful ballad, All The Proof I Need, featuring Richard accompanying himself on highly reverbed guitar with only Belliveau on bass as backup. A nice closer for a strong release.

We are continuing the Aquamarine theme here on Chic Vintage Brides, in celebration of March (and Aquamarine being March’s birthstone), with today’s inspiration board a lavish and super sweet take on the shade. Full of delicate sky blues, elegant neutrals and splashes of gold, it exudes an understated glamour and timeless sophistication – and would be quite simply perfect for a Spring wedding!
Of course for a Spring celebration you want an abundance of seasonal blooms – think fragrant freesias, peonies, anemones and camellias; and I love the chic simplicity of keeping them pure white!
This palette would be just as lovely for a rustic, modern or boho wedding, but add a modern take on vintage with olde world design details such as hand calligraphy stationery, sumptuous tablescapes & place settings with candelabras and candlesticks (wherever your venue), vintage books and trays. The refined wedding cake keeps things contemporary and manages to exude a hint of opulence despite its lack of decoration, thanks to its elegant proportions, a trend we have been seeing for a while now, and that I for one love.
If you love the idea of a Spring affair but aren’t convinced by this colour palette you will find plenty of other wedding colours and inspiration boards in CVB’s archives. Like this romance-fest in rose quartz and serenity blue, or how embrace the color of the year and one of the biggest trend’s for 2017 with this elegant greenery inspiration board, or for an alternative to the traditional pretty pastels this beautiful jewel inspired palette is rich and oh-so-sophisticated! For more inspiration on Spring hues, take a peek at Pantone’s Top 10 for 2017.

Talentica » Blogs » What is UX Writing?
UX writing is a speciality within content strategy which emphasizes on the use of language in a way which helps and guides users to achieve their goal. This might sound like some fancy definition pulled off the internet, but what does it actually mean?
Before UX writing, let us begin with the type of writing we do for digital products.
These are everyday things we come across while designing or developing any software application. What’s the ‘UX Writing’ in these?
Let’s see an example of Information – empty state message.
There does not seem to be any problem with the way this message is written. There were indeed no records found in the database to show on this screen.
When we extract the keyword HELP and GUIDE we can deduce that the message should be simple and easy for the user to quickly understand and it should tell them what to do next.
This brings us to the guideline for UX Writing: Clear, Concise, Useful.
We often describe the problem in actual technical terms which can sometimes be incomprehensible or even intimidating for users. We need to demystify the problems and put them in a way which is relatable for them.
No records found. ——->No job applications have been created yet.
Here the record is a very generic term. It gives no context about what this screen is about. Using job application adds a context and it is a term that users can understand.
By now we know that on the web, users scan the text instead of reading it word by word. So, making text shorter and scannable is better. Each work used should serve a purpose.
No job applications have been created yet. ——-> No job applications created.
The words have, been, and yet can be removed without changing the meaning.
The messages should not only convey precise information but also guide the user to take the next step to achieve their goal.
No job applications created. ——-> No job applications created. Click on Find Job to start.
Now we are guiding the user to take the next step.
To take product messaging to the next level, the product voice of your product needs to be defined. It can range anywhere from serious and professional to casual, even whimsical. The tone and language need to be in sync with the brand image.
Clear – Concise – Language – Tone.

For more than 500 years, waves of new Americans arrived by sea. In that time, the nation’s seacoasts, rivers, lakes, and canals became avenues of exploration, communication, and commerce. Life and work on the water—for seafarers, fishers, passengers, and many others—unfolded through immense challenges and achievements, and occasional disasters.
Today ships and mariners connect Americans to a complex web of international trade. Maritime activity continues to play a significant role in our lives. In the age of flight, it is worth remembering that the nation still thrives on the water.
Introduction: The United States grew up on the water and remains a maritime nation to this day.
Living in the Atlantic World: Over nearly four centuries, Atlantic-based trade shaped modern world history and life in America.
Maritime Nation, 1800–1850: Shipbuilders, mariners, and maritime merchants helped the new nation defend itself and grow.
Fishing for a Living, 1840-1920: The bounty of the waters has sustained people of North America for centuries.
Inland Waterways, 1820–1940: The country’s vast system of rivers and lakes has helped people settle the land and create communities.
Ocean Crossings, 1870–1969: Ocean liners were ships of transport for immigrants and machines of leisure, status, and national prestige.
Answering the Call, 1917–1945: Merchant seamen and ships played a vital role in winning both world wars of the 20th century.
Modern Maritime America: Maritime activity is as important as ever, and it affects the lives of people everywhere.
For more information, see our Plan Your Visit page.
Download a companion guide to the exhibition geared towards kids grade 5-8. Great for family or school visits!
While visiting the Museum, learn more about the history of transportation in America by visiting America on the Move, adjacent to On the Water.

Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is asking residents across the county to make sure that their families are not placed at risk after a charger is believed to have destroyed a home in Rainham overnight.
Fire crews from Rainham and Chatham were alerted to the blaze just before 1am this morning (Friday) and were quickly on the scene. They arrived to a well developed fire on the ground and first floor. Two additional fire engines from Sittingbourne and Rochester were also despatched.
Chatham Watch Manager, Tony Fox, said: "The man told us his wife had gone to bed about 10pm and he had followed around midnight. They were woken close to 1am by their smoke alarm and went to investigate. The woman opened the lounge door and was knocked over by the sheer heat from the blaze. They immediately closed the door on the fire and rushed upstairs to bring their three young children to safety, escaping via their back door due to the severity of the fire.
"The woman told us that she had covered her daughter completely as she carried her out of their home as the heat and smoke was so severe. The father brought the two boys out of their home and the whole family were treated by ambulance crews for the effects of breathing in smoke before being taken to hospital for precautionary checks.
"Fortunately the couple’s quick thinking and their working smoke alarms averted what could have been a tragedy. Sadly their home and belongings are gutted but thankfully they are all safe."
Firefighters worked exceptionally hard for three and a half hours to bring the blaze under control with breathing apparatus teams fighting the blaze from the front and back of the house using hose reels.
Once they had successfully knocked the fire back, a breathing apparatus team went into the mid-terraced house and used fog spike in the loft area. This is highly effective for firefighting in confined difficult to access areas such as roof spaces/tiles and attics. It’s like a sprinkler system, suppressing the heat and preventing it from spreading to neighbouring properties by dramatically reducing the temperature and creating a fire break between the shared roof voids.
The fire is believed to have started from a charging device in the lounge at the front of the house.
The family are believed to be staying with relatives.
Working smoke alarms are the real hero in your home – they can and do save lives, fit them on every floor of your home and test them regularly."
Firefighters will be visiting neighbouring properties giving out fire safety advice but you can play an an active role in keeping your home and family safe from fire. Read our advice or on phone us free from landlines.

For nearly 30 years Mr Jantjie Randell has been farming in the Lothair area – where they did not even know about Sclerotinia in the early years. These days they sing a different tune.
Jantjie, his father Jan and brother Philip run an extended mixed farm in the Lothair area in Mpumalanga. They use crop rotation with maize and soybeans and also farm with wool merinos and Sussex cattle. They also have eucalyptus trees that they cut for the paper pulp market.
Although years ago Sclerotinia was initially barely visible, it became such a problem at a certain stage that in certain years it damaged up to 75% of the plantings.
Mr Fanie Roux, the Pannar Seed representative in the area, says that Jantjie had planted the PAN 1623R this year for the second time. The yields varied from 2,6 t/ha - 3 t/ha and in some cases even yielded higher.
‘The agronomical characteristics of this cultivar perfectly suit Jantjie’s cultivation method and the wide rows that he plants. This strong, robust plant with its indeterminate growth habit, strong root system and good resistance to lodging does not have an equal in Jantjie’s area,’ says Fanie.
Due to the fact that Lothair’s weather is ideal for Sclerotinia, with temperatures regularly between 15°C and 21°C during summer, control of the fungus is very difficult.
Jantjie has been planting soybean trials for Pannar for many years and one year realised that the cultivar with the missed row – five rows instead of six – won the trial without any adjustments being made.
‘This rang a bell. I obtained more information from Pannar on plant establishment in soybeans. I learned that certain cultivars only showed a drop in yield from a plant population as low as 180 000 plants/ha,’ explains Jantjie.
Reducing the plant population was not an easy decision for him, because so many experts recommend that soybeans should be planted in narrower rows and with a higher plant population. ‘That is why I started with trials where I tested the plant population and even experimented with two missed rows with a six-row planter,’ says Jantjie.
After several trials Jantjie concluded that a greater yield can be obtained when there is maximum sun exposure between the rows. Keeping this in mind, he decided in 2014 to adapt his planters. ‘2015 was very dry in February to March and no Sclerotinia was observed, because of the drought I only harvested an average of 1,7 tons. The wetter conditions earlier this year were ideal for Sclerotinia. We harvested an average of 2,5 tons on 1 690 ha with the wider rows,’ says Jantjie.
The 10% - 15% yield loss they experience by planting wider rows is not a problem to Jantjie, because they then prevent the 30% - 50% loss that the Sclerotinia could have cost them. Their plant establishment is approximately 220 000 to 240 000 plants/ha, which corresponds to 33 to 36 seeds/metre.

Marie-Antoinette, France’s last queen and symbol for the excess of the monarchy, had a favourite colour: She loved to wear reddish brown tafetta dresses with purple shimmer, known as “puce”. This Christmas, French mustard brand Maille pays hommage to the gorgeously decadent colour with a special edition of one of their top end mustards. A true food lover’s delight, this mustard contains black truffle and Chablis wine. Dot this over steak, enjoy with cheese, spread on a brioche, or mix in with a creamy risotto…yum!!
My dad is a passionate hobby chef, which makes Maille’s high-end mustard a perfect Christmas gift for him. Men are notoriously difficult to buy for, so this makes a nice change to the perennial scarf, jumper or perfume. The heavy stone ware pot can be refilled in Maille boutiques around the world. I got this personalised in the London boutique with my dad’s initials – a lovely, personal touch.
Due to my colouring, puce and auburn-y colours are difficult for me to pull off. The dress I am wearing is brightened with a crisp white Peter Pan collar, an accessory I’ve loved for years, even before it was popularised by Alexa Chung.

Some old pictures from the Red Spider Lily festival I went to a few weeks ago (in Japanese, the 彼岸花). I didn't take that many pictures by my standards, but enough.
Is it strange that I go to a flower festival and mainly end up taking pictures of spiders?

Boca Raton, FL. – March 9, 2016: The U.S. Women’s National team take on Germany in the 2016 SheBelieves Cup at FAU Stadium. Photo by Brad Smith.
BOCA RATON, Florida (March 9, 2016) – The U.S. Women’s National Team scored two goals in a span of six minutes to defeat Germany 2-1 and win the 2016 SheBelieves Cup in front of a record crowd of 13,501 at FAU Stadium. The USA finished atop the tournament standings with wins against three of the top five teams in the world.
The crowd of 13,501 set a new record for an all-women’s soccer event in South Florida, breaking the previous mark of 12,031 that watched the USA play Norway in Fort Lauderdale on Feb. 6, 2000.
After scoring a stoppage-time game-winner against France on Sunday and the game-tying goal tonight, Alex Morgan earned the tournament’s Golden Ball and Golden Boot awards, while Hope Solo was awarded the Golden Glove after she allowed just one goal over three matches.
With Germany needing just a draw or win to claim the tournament title, Anja Mittag’s long-range tally in the 29th minute left the USA needing two goals to win the competition and the response was almost immediate. Morgan evened the score with a sublime bit of skill six minutes after Germany had taken the lead.
Samantha Mewis scored the title-clenching goal just six minutes after that in her first start of the competition. Mewis dispossessed Germany’s Melanie Behringer in the midfield and unleashed a low left-footed shot that deflected off a defender and slipped under diving German goalkeeper Almuth Schult.
The U.S. WNT returns to action in April when it squares off against Colombia in a pair of East Coast on April 6 in East Hartford, Connecticut (7 p.m. ET, FS1) and April 10 in Chester, Pennsylvania (2 p.m. ET, ESPN).

MMA MANILA: Magellan "bimbi" Perez - Promising MMA Star?
Magellan "bimbi" Perez - Promising MMA Star?
For those of you who watched Magellan" bimbi" Perez methodical destruction of Deo "bolo" Anacio of strikes and submissions during URCC X at the fort, you would've noticed that the man has a swagger and confidence that exceeds his lanky frame.
For the uninititaed "bimbi" is an accomplished boxer at the elorde stable. He also trains Navy Seals in hand to hand combat. Bimbi stands around 5'9 and his fighting weight is at about 139-145 lbs. Seeing bimbi go up against the squat, powerfully built Anacio in URCC X you would've thought that bimbi was 20 lbs. heavier - he threw anacio around like a rag doll, almost like a dog with a rat in his mouth.
Bimbi eventually made short work of Anacio in the first round. He had perfect balance and timing in stand-up mode. He proved deadly flat on the mat too.
Last month we had the pleasure of seeing Bimbi go up against one of URCC's KO artists and way of the champions veteran Charlie Angel, The match held in cebu was the marquee match-up of the night. Bimbi squared of with Angel at around 11:00 p.m. in the jam packed arena.
Bimbi lead with a left jab that set-up his right. This was all he did the whole fight. that is all he had to do. Charlie Angel's face was a mess after the bout. In fact the delivery of the one-two punch by "bimbi" was almost montonous. Angel was being fed a steady diet of this basic combination by perez and he ( perez) was handily on his way to a route when Angel, delivered a roundhouse to Perez's groin.
It was a total let-down as this match was shaping up to be a real classic. Ref Anthony Penalosa had to call it quits and gave Bimbi the nod.
Despite the let-down it was still an eye-opener for those who watched the match, Bimbi had the class and cool plus all the tools to demolish angel. Many observers believe Magellan "bimbi" perez will go a very long way with his polished boxing skills in the URCC.

Taking inspiration from Nathanael West’s novel Miss Lonelyhearts, in which an advice columnist absorbs and worries about the suffering of his own readers, the entire album aches with intensity and desperation that seems to hark back to the medium from which it takes so much inspiration from. Dripping with a phantom struggle of emotions, the ever-changing tempo from track to track and hasty lyrics seem as though the work of a storyteller rather than a songwriter.
in love with them in the first place. Dear Miss Lonelyhearts falls gracefully back towards well-treaded roots.

In our last post, we answered the question, “Is Ketamine Addictive?” Now, we want to share ketamine’s anti-addictive properties. In the past year, 20.2 million American adults (8.4%) had a substance use disorder. Addiction is frequently seen in conjunction with mood disorders and may actually be a form of self-medication in these patients. So can ketamine play a role in treating these patients, especially those with dual diagnoses?
We want to take a moment to share our favorite nonfiction and fiction books! These books range from advice from top performers in the world, to guidance on how to transform your life, all the way to stories which warm and inspire the soul.
Want to know more about how ketamine works? Especially curious about how it transforms the lives of those with depression, anxiety, and pain? Love science? A google or PubMed search will give you numerous articles on this topic. At Reset Ketamine, we are big readers and lovers of learning so we found three articles you should check out regarding depression and ketamine...especially if you are science nerds like us!
Ketamine has proven itself to be an effective medication for procedural sedation. Now we are seeing how ketamine can treat and alleviate mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and chronic pain disorders. Experiments are now showing how ketamine also reduces inflammation.
Ketamine Infusion Protocol: Twice a Week or Three Times a Week?
Ketamine infusions are at the frontier of treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and pain disorders. And just like the pioneers of the Wild West, ketamine physicians are also trailblazers. Ketamine infusionists create their protocols based on studies and the responses of their patients to treatment. Since ketamine is still a relatively new treatment, researchers are still investigating the optimal dose and frequency.
Raise your hand if you like cleanliness or if you're against getting infections! Well if you raised your hand, you are in luck. We are excited to share another health property of ketamine you may not have been aware of. Ketamine is also an anti-microbial (aka kills or stops growth of microorganisms)!
Last week the world lost two iconic Americans Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, bringing to the forefront this startling fact from the Center of Disease Control (CDC): since 1999 there has been a 30% increase in suicides in the United States.
Not sure what ketamine is? Maybe you know it as a party drug, but now are hearing about its use as a medication to treat conditions such as chronic pain, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression. Unclear of what to make of this medication?

It is also important for you to make sure of their quality. Testing the products offered is the quickest way to check on the quality of the products. However, the law prohibits one from returning any cannabis product they have purchased to the store. Therefore, this process can prove to be costly. If you do your research before going to the store, you will be in a better position to select your strain depending on the information the dispensary offers. It is also possible for you to get the most suitable marijuana dispensary for you using some online sites.
It will also be crucial to consider the location of the marijuana dispensary you are getting your product from. You will be in a better state if you find the store that is close to you. However, this does not mean that you should compromise on the quality of product you are getting. The marijuana store you settle for should have workers whom you can trust with questions about the manufacturer and the strains they are handling. You can also get the dispensaries which can make deliveries if you are sure of the product you require.
They will also need to be offering a variety of products. Most of these stores will always ensure they provide different kinds of products. This way you will not be limited to the choices you have. Before you decide on the product you will be using, you need to consult your physician and consider the condition you are in. You should only begin analyzing the different shops that are in your area after you get the certificate for marijuana use. You should keep your personal requirement in mind as you shop.

A really fun and snowy run through the hills of Riverdale with the Inwood Hill Runners. We rock.
When I first read the article in Running Times called "Resonant Routes" in the Oct 2010 issue, I was swept away. It was like a movie scene where someone remembers various scenes from the past in succession: I flew back to my old neighborhood where I ran in high school to stay fit for soccer, to the hilly and cold 10K loop in Durham, NH where I ran for Crew practice in college, the routes along the River Shannon when I studied abroad in Ireland, then to the longer loops I discovered when finally running for the sake of running and training for my first half marathon. It took me to the loops around my Mom's house in NJ, my in-laws house in Victoria, BC, the various routes I've run on vacation around the globe.Then came memories of the friends I'd run many of them with from everyday bagel runs in New York to the time we got lost in Dingle, Ireland and ended up in a herd of self-directed cows with diarrhea. Then I thought just about the runs I'm fortunate enough to have access to every week here in Northern Manhattan. My favorite hills and loops of my immediate neighborhood, those routes where you tend to know the exact distances, no matter how you piece them together.
I remember details of routes, small corners I like to hop over, ramps in the sidewalk made by giant tree roots that I soar over like a child on a bike, things like that. I like to run on one side of the street vs another because there's an apartment with a library I like to peek at or because I know the wind is less strong on that side. Whatever it might be, Rachel's words brought it rushing in. Wow did I like that article.
A few more times over the next couple of months I read more articles by Rachel Toor that made me laugh, remember something about my own running or simply made me smile. I hardly read bylines unless I really enjoy something, so I started to notice a trend. I think I even tweeted something like "Everything I've read recently that I really liked has been written by Rachel Toor." Now, maybe I'm beginning to sound like a stalker, but if you've read her stuff then you know what I'm talking about. Her work resonates with me as a woman and as a runner. After my friend Scott reviewed her latest book a while back (here), I knew I needed to get my hands on it.
I loved the book! Shocking, I know. After reading the articles by Rachel, I knew she was an author who speaks frankly, points out things that everyone has on their minds anyway, and does so with humor and fun. The book consists of 26.2 "chapters" that go from her days as a non-runner right through to her current ultra-running badassery. One of my favorite chapters, "The Closet" made me laugh as she describes the runner's habit of hoarding clothes, shoes, safety pins, etc. I even showed my husband and made him read a few paragraphs. He shook his head in recognition, especially the part about the ridiculous number of socks kept in an overstuffed drawer.
Chapter 3, "The Routes" brought my mind back to "Resonating Routes", the reason this whole girl-crush even started. It reminded me of the routes I run weekly with my Inwood Hill group, the nicknames we have for the different hills, flat stretches and the way we can describe places by mentioning something as simple as an odd feature of the sidewalk there.
I started reading Chapter 14, "Becoming a Marathoner" on the train to work one morning heading to Midtown, but I had to stop and put it away for a more private time. RT talks about running the 2001 NYC marathon right after 9/11. I can't read or watch anything about 9/11 without crying so I put the book down until I got home where I could dab freely at my eyes as I read. She managed to capture the heart of New York in those few pages, well done.
The rest of the chapters are fun, interesting, and just great reads for us runners. It's an easy, quick read and the chapters are short and perfect for squeezing into your day or sitting down and devouring in an evening. Rachel reminds me of my very best friend and running buddy, Nancy who has the same love for the trails and long, scenic races. She'll love this book too.
The text came later than I expected on Wednesday morning, but it finally popped into my inbox, bringing its joyful little message "NYL PRESCHOOLS ARE. CLOSED TODAY." I had a little 5:30am celebration and went back to sleep for a while. When I couldn't stand the excitement any longer, I flew to the front windows to see the snow. It was beautiful, the world was white and the sun was coming up. It was a perfect day: public school was OPEN, my work was closed (many of our kids are medically fragile) and 9 inches of powder lay like a blanket, waiting to be explored.
I pulled on my new Yaktrax, put a load of laundry in the wash only 187th st and took off towards the park. Fort Tryon park was breathtaking, all of the trees heavy with snow and the sun streaming in. I trotted up to the highest part of the park by the flagpole and frolicked around, buzzing around looking at the view from all sides. The snow was shin deep in many places, but the yaktrax did their job well. I looped around the Cloisters, by the river (windy!) and frolicked as much as possible. I was fluttering all over, arms circling to help me move through the deeper snow. I probably looked like a southerner seeing snow for the first time, just dressed like a ninja. I remembered my sunglasses and was glad as the yellow rays bounced off of the snow into my face. Running during daylight is such a treat at this time of year.
Sadly my run came to an end as I checked my watch and saw that the laundry would be done soon, so I ran back down the snowy street since the sidewalks were already cleared by this point.
I spent the rest of my snowday exactly the way I planned it: I took out my snowshoes and tackled the hills and untouched paths of Fort Tryon park on my way to and from the big sledding hill. I spent a few hours sledding which is a really good hill workout in the end. I flew down on my snowdisc sled and charged back up to the top about 100x before my feet started to get cold and my tummy began to rumble. I shared the hill with a few other families and their children, but since public schools were open, it was fairly quiet. What a perfect day.
I'm feeling the effects of all of my efforts today though.... Whew am I sore in all sorts of new places. I remember one missed landing off of the snow ramp we built where I landed on my right asscheek, how could I forget when it hurts each time I sit down?
I'm a creature of habit, I run on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and swim Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Sunday can be a toss up, a gym day or a rest day. Instead of running yesterday morning though, I got in the car and headed down to visit my grandmother in NJ because she's recovering from emergency brain surgery that she had the day after Christmas. I told myself I'd just do my run Sun morning, but when I came back last night after a draining day, I knew it would be slippery and icy and I'm not looking for an injury. I had plans with friends for brunch and a movie today, so I pushed the run to the afternoon. That's always a risky move, I lose motivation after like 2pm. I managed to rally because I was getting cranky without any outside time this weekend, so I hit the roads. I had no route or plan in mind, just run til it got dark and end at the car so I could move it to a garage for the winter months.
I took off and hit the Greenway with the sun beginning to set behind old George. I thought about my Nan who told us that she walked 25 feet or so in therapy this week despite not having any desire to do so, but she said she bucked up and just did it. I looked at the road ahead of me and thought about how hard it must be for her to see a point to all of this. She keeps saying that she'd rather just die than have to go through rehab. Whew, that's hard to hear, but I understand what she's saying, the bumpy road ahead looks insurmountable and she doesn't know if she has the strength for it. Who are we to argue? I let out some tears and sadness along the way and felt better as I tackled the hills in Inwood and turned towards home. I took the hilliest route I could find and felt awesome. I flew up hills that slow me down on occasion as if they weren't even there. The stress melted away and I bounced home feeling lighter and so grateful that I'm healthy and can put one foot in front of the other every day.
This is one of my best, most useful Christmas gifts and I'm so excited to start using it today!!! In the past it has been difficult to keep track of my running AND my swimming/biking all in one place because I couldn't get in the habit of posting to Daily Mile and my paper journal only had room for my runs so I'd have to squeeze in other workouts in the margins. It wasn't pretty. I'm really excited for this journal because it is perfect for 2011: Year of the Triathlon. Check out the fun features!
Each week is two full spreads with a tally at the end for EACH discipline. Yay!
There are training grids for every month to keep track of things like hours training, distances, heart rate, whatever you like to keep track of to help your training.
A race results page that can actually fit ALL of the info from race day!

Home » Blog » Alabama Doctor Sexual Misconduct: Can Medical Staff Be Sued?
If a doctor, nurse or other trusted medical professional engages in sexual misconduct with a patient, this crosses not only ethical boundaries that might land them before the state medical board, but can also lead to civil liability.
And those civil claims aren't limited to the physician. They can be filed against the doctor's employer or contracting agency, hospital, or clinic. Patients who are victimized by doctor sexual misconduct should speak with a Mobile medical malpractice attorney to better understand their legal options.
There are a number of laws regulating the duty of health care professionals to their patients. Physicians are held to a high standard because of the imbalance of power between a doctor and a patient. Additionally, sexual misconduct is a violation of the public trust that is placed in medical professionals.
Part of the reason why these cases happen in the first place is because of systemic loopholes that prevent public transparency of past misdeeds, allowing predatory physicians to continue their practice with limited consequences.
AL.com recently reported on a pediatrician who has a clean record with the Alabama State Board of Medical Examiners. There is one notation indicating that in 2009, he voluntarily surrendered his medical license while under investigation with the board, but no other details are provided. Yet an internet search of his name during that time found that he had allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct with a minor.
Even before this happened, he'd been accused of misconduct on three prior occasions, and he'd been fired multiple times for misconduct. He was able to halt the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners' investigation against him by voluntarily surrendering his license.
The local news reporter found that there are approximately 16,000 individuals with active medical licenses in this state - and there is absolutely no way for the public to know how many of those are under investigation.
When patients place trust in doctors and medical professionals, they should receive the best care possible. Those found responsible for sexual misconduct against patients should be held accountable for their actions. If you or a loved one has fall victim to such behavior, it is crucial that you speak to an experienced medical malpractice attorney immediately.

How exciting to be celebrating your son's 3rd birthday during your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation! The answer to your question is yes. I have always called to make a note of any special occasions that may be happening during our trip. You may call (407) W-DISNEY or (407) 934-7639 to note his birthday on your resort reservation. I also like to call Disney Dining at (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463 and have the Cast Member make a note of any special celebrations on the appropriate Advanced Dining Reservation. That being said, if you will be celebrating his big day at a specific dining location, I would also recommend that you let them know when you check in for your Advanced Dining Reservation.
Be sure to ask for a complimentary birthday celebration button for your son when you check in to your Disney Resort hotel. If you will be staying off-property, you can also receive a complimentary button at Guest Relations inside any theme park or Disney Springs.
I hope this information has been helpful. Please don't hesitate to visit us again with any additional questions that you may have. Sending pixie dusted wishes that your son has a magical birthday trip, Laura!

If you don’t go on business trips very often, you may be struggling with how to pack for your trip. Perhaps you have meetings all day, a formal event, and maybe a round of golf with business associates. Packing for this can seem like a nightmare, especially when chances are you will be using a small carryon bag to avoid baggage claim. Creating a business trip checklist can help you get organized and be prepared your trip with ease. Focus on bringing the things you absolutely need and remember, anything else can always be purchased if there is a big change of plans. Here are some packing tips for your next business trip.
Suits: The number of suits you need will vary on the length of your trip but chances are you can get away with bringing less suits than days of meetings. Bring at least two suits and two different colored dress shirts that can match either color. Just by combining colors of shirts to suits, you already have four different outfits. Having trouble with the idea of packing a suit in a carryon? You can watch a tutorial on how to fold a suit here and will find it isn’t as hard as you may think.
Shoes: Bring a pair of dress shoes and a pair of casual, but clean and presentable shoes. Both shoes should match either business, formal, or casual attire. The bulkier pair of shoes should be worn to the airport and the remaining smaller pair can be packed at the bottom of your suitcase.
Casual Clothes: By bringing one pair of pants and two shirts, you can have three outfits ready. You can also pair a button down from your suit with a nice pair of jeans or khakis for a business casual look that will work for after work drinks, dinners, or just relaxing. Also roll the jeans and shirts when packing to save even more space.
Toiletries: First, check with your hotel to see if they provide a hair dryer, shampoo, or conditioner. If they do, you just saved yourself even more space in your bag. Remember all liquids and gels must be 3oz or less and in plastic baggies.
Office Supplies: Pack your business cards, two pens, one pencil, and a note pad. This will ensure you are prepared during your meetings, but still allows you to pack light.
Electronics: Pack your phone and laptop with their chargers neatly wrapped. Consider bringing a tablet instead of your laptop if possible – as this can also help save space.
Now that you have a better idea of what things to bring on a business trip, consider yourself ready to impress your coworkers and clients. Don’t let the stress of travel bog you down on your next business trip. If you are traveling internationally, make sure you have all of required documentation for your trip. If you need help obtaining any of your vital records, go to vitalchek.com to order online!

For centuries the home herb garden has been many things to us, including the source of our beauty preparations. Today as we weave our way back to using whole plants and foods to nourish skin health, there is a curiosity awakening about planting a garden, along with questions about why one would take time to do that when so many of the herbs are already widely available in fine beauty products.
The simple answer is there is nothing so healing as a live plant plucked and used within minutes of taking it from the soil. Think of it as a farm-to-table experience, but for your face! Shortening the distance and time between the garden and the herb’s usage, allows you to utilize the nutrients from plants when they are at their most vibrant, to deliver maximum benefits.
To really understand this principal and why it is an important concept in green beauty, I encourage you to grow an herb. If you want to know how to use a specific plant to influence skin health, plant it, care for it, watch it grow, then wait, wait, wait… Watching the plant overtime will show you the way to use it.
You might be thinking “Life is busy enough, now I have to plant my own herbs? Just one more thing to do.” But it’s so easy! The rich insights gleaned from watching a plant mature will be worth more than a weekend workshop or hours of bedtime reading. Just start, even if you choose only one single beauty-focused herb that you have heard of and are interested in. Even if it is a potted herb sitting on your kitchen counter. Micro-gardening is still gardening!
For me this year, the herb that I want to know better is Borage. It has always intrigued me and I have grown it in my garden many times, but when I recently used it in a new face product (Farmaesthetics Nutrient Dense Fine Facial Oil), I realized there was a complexity and potential for varied uses in skincare and beauty, and I want to know more.
It has such a lovely little twinkle of a flower, but powerful! Borage can be infused into oil or made into a tea or tincture for external use in compressing. It is known for containing the highest source of GLA and other essential fatty acids to treat dry skin and restore elasticity. It is hailed for diluting sebum, a thick oily substance that is over-secreted in some people with acne, and acting as a preventative by reducing the risk of pores becoming clogged. Astringent substances in borage, called tannins, are now being hailed for their help in tightening skin. Hello Ms. Borage! I can’t wait to know you better.
What herb do you want to get to know this summer?

Ok, so maybe “objective” is a bit of a stretch. However, when you look at all of the evidence it seems pretty clear that The Wall is one of the coolest and most unflinchingly tough characters that DC Comics has ever published. Created by John Ostrander, Len Wein, and John Byrne (with Kim Yale adding a lot to her early appearances) she is the ultimate chess-master in a world full of super-powered heroes and villains.
Her origin story fits very neatly into the superhero mold: while living in the projects of Chicago, her husband and child were murdered. After that, she dedicated her life to creating order from the top down. She quickly rose the ranks in the US Government and eventually became the one of the leads of Checkmate (a multi-national peacekeeping agency) and the sole overseer of Task Force X, the deadly black ops strike-force nicknamed the Suicide Squad. Operating out of Belle Reve Penitentiary in the swamps of Louisiana, they’re a team of supervillains forced to work off prison sentences on exceedingly dangerous missions.
Waller’s abrasive personality and willingness to do anything or sacrifice anyone to get the job done have lead her into plenty of moral grey areas. Over the years, she’s been an interesting outlier in an industry that typically equates chiseled physiques with power. Which made it all the more strange when DC Comics relaunched the Suicide Squad in 2011 as part of their “New 52” reboot and the character was introduced looking nothing like how she is traditionally portrayed. The reaction was mixed, to say the least, and in 2016 the original version of the character was once again brought into the spotlight during the “Rebirth” event.
It took a little bit of time for popular media to catch on to just how cool Waller is. Her first appearance in any medium was on Justice League Unlimited. Within the show, she is a lead for Project Cadmus and is responsible for contingency plans should the League turn against humanity. Perhaps her two most notable appearances were “Task Force X” and “Epilogue”. In the former, she sics the Suicide Squad on the League in order to steal some mystical technology. While the latter plays as a sort of cap-off to the cancelled series Batman Beyond and retroactively makes Waller responsible for the future Batman’s origin. In all of her appearances in JLU she was played by CCH Pounder, a veteran actor who is no stranger to playing strong characters.
Pounder would continue to voice the character in two animated films, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and Batman: Assault on Arkham. She would also voice the character in two video games (Batman: Arkham Origins and it’s mobile device sequel, Blackgate) making her, far and away, the most prolific actor to have inhabited the role. In truth, her tough demeanor and striking voice fit the character so well that the fact she hasn’t played the role in live-action is something of a shame.
Her other animated appearances have been somewhat spotty. She had a small part in the television series Young Justice and was essentially just a warden of Belle Reve with no mention of her other activities. She is also currently seen in the web-series DC Super Hero Girls as the principal of Super Hero High. And made a small appearance as President Waller in last year’s Justice League: Gods and Monsters.
In live-action, Waller has also had multiple appearances. Each time with a different person inhabiting the role. Her first appearance in television was during Smallville‘s 9th season as the head of Checkmate and a foil for Clark and the JSA. While played by Pam Grier, the show didn’t use her to great effect and only tangentally connected her with the later introduction of the Suicide Squad. A few years later, she was brought to life by Cynthia Addai-Robinson on Arrow. This version drew heavily from the oft-criticized “New 52” version of the character but stayed true to her tactician-like manner. After many episodes focusing on the Squad and her ability to manipulate people to do her bidding, the show unceremoniously killed her off. The move was largely criticized by fans as an obvious attempt to clear the field for her big-screen presence in 2016.
Speaking of the big-screen, the character’s first appearance was slated to be in a film that was never made. In the mid-2000’s, Justin Marks wrote a screenplay called Super Max about Green Arrow being framed for assassinating a high-ranking Checkmate agent. He is then thrown into a literal Super Max prison full of all manor of supervillains from the DCU. Waller played the role of the warden in that script and was essentially a secondary antagonist. While she didn’t have much in the way of characterization, later drafts may have fleshed out the character a bit.
Aside from the scrapped movie, Waller’s made a couple of appearances in film. Many moviegoers recognize Viola Davis in the role in 2016’s Suicide Squad, where the character serves much the same purpose she has traditionally does, but that wasn’t her first appearance in cinemas. In 2011’s oft-maligned Green Lantern, the character was portrayed by Angela Bassett as a DEO scientist who discovers alien life. She has minimal impact on the plot, but her costume is reminiscent of her Checkmate uniform. The film also quickly flashes back to her origin, even using classic Suicide Squad issues as reference, which is an odd amount of detail for such a minor appearance.
With the opening weekend success of the Suicide Squad film, it seems likely that there will be sequels that will further delve into the personality of The Wall. If it were up to me, I’d love to see Waller make further appearances in other DC live-action films. When she first appeared in Green Lantern, Angela Bassett had implied that she was being positioned as a “Nick Fury-like” character which is something that would work especially well now that DC is building its own cinematic universe. As of now, it seems unlikely that we’ll see her in any other form outside of the occasional animated appearance, which is a real shame. I mean, how cool would it have been to see Arrow‘s Waller spar with Supergirl‘s J’onn J’onzz? Hopefully her further appearances on the big screen continue to build on what makes her such a great character.

A discussion on Facebook led me to comment I have a few special photos of Leonard at the beginning of the concerts. The following six I think are my best ones from these moments. It isn’t always possible to get good photos at this stage because fans can be clapping wildly over their heads so I feel blessed I was able to get these photos which I think tell a special story of the connection between Leonard and the audience on a given night.
All photos by Gwen Langford.
During December 2013 I received an email from Paula McCann, the Chairperson of the organising committee for the Dublin Event asking would I like to have some photos exhibited at the Event. I was honoured to be asked and to be a small part of what was a wonderful weekend. Photos of the photos at the Event will follow in albums of the actual Event. For now here are the photos that were used. Thank you Paula for having the vision to allow me do this and Albert Noonan for the professional final prints.

Cardigans make great transition pieces. They can be worn all year round, basically, and they’re perfect for when you just want something quick and cozy but not too warm. I personally love throwing a nice cardigan on top of a plain and simple outfit. Aside from the fact that a cardigan makes me more comfy and warm it also adds nice detail and, with the right piece, a good splash of color to liven up the look. Now, spring and summer cardigans are often different in style. Spring and summer cardigans are more sheer and lightweight and the prints on them are rather colorful while fall and winter cardigans are often chunkier and heavier in darker colors with less colorful print. If you’re looking for something that you can wear in summer and transition you to fall, though, check out these cardigans that will take you from summer to fall.
Striped cardigan – stripes are versatile and they’re one of those all-year round prints that you can wear. If you’re looking for a nice (and safe) summer to fall transition cardigan, a cotton striped cardigan is your best bet. For summer, wear it on top of something light like a plain shirt or a tank top and jeans. For fall, you can wear it on top of a long-sleeved shirt or a thin sweater just to get that extra warmth.
Fringed cardigan – fringes are always popular during the summer, especially at music festivals, but they’re really nice for fall as well so a cardigan with fringes is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall. If you just want a nice touch of fringe to your look and maybe a little movement too, go with regular fringes. If you’re looking forward to making a statement with these cardigans, I would suggest going for something with longer and chunkier fringes instead.
Kimono cardigan – for a really nice and girly twist on your look, go with a kimono cardigan. Kimono cardigans are often lightweight but they do feel nice and warm when you wrap them around and let them snug up on you. Long kimono cardigans, I find, are the best summer to fall transition cardigans and they’re great as a finishing piece to a layered outfit as well.
Tribal print cardigan – tribal prints are so intricate and ornate, they always add a nice detail to any look. Tribal print cardigans are great as summer to fall transition cardigans because they’re colorful enough for summer but the colors are often warm and earthy, too, so they blend right in to your fall wardrobe.
Draped cardigan – what I love about draped cardigans is that they never fail to make any outfit look effortlessly chic. These cardigans have a slight dramatic vibe to them because of the movement they create and give your look but they’re not too overly dramatic that they can’t be worn for everyday looks.

Dog Makes His Cat Friend Mind His Manners, And You’ll Think It’s Hilarious!
Maybe nobody puts Baby in a corner, but this Golden Retriever seems to be well within his means when it comes to holding back his feline friend.
The video of a well-mannered canine holding back a cat who may be trying to bite off more than it can chew has gone viral. First posted to Twitter by @m_yosry2012, the video shows the cat snarling at something just out of frame. It turns out to be a much larger, and perhaps cantankerous cat than she.
The cat approaches something he doesn’t like, with his hackles raised.
Before the cat can control its territorial urges, her canine companion walks over and grabs the instigator by the collar, defusing any potential cat scratches.
A canine companion isn’t going to let this cat scrat take place.
The video has since been retweeted more than 118,000 times, and drawn a number of hilarious comments. Some even shared their own favorite “fight break up” videos.
Whether or not this precocious pussycat will be out looking for a fight on any other night is yet to be seen. What we do know, is that the beef has been deferred for now.
And all thanks to a very good boy Golden Retriever.
Let’s go back here, where it’s safe!

The field of fault detection and isolation (FDI) has attracted much attention in control theory during the last three decades which has resulted in development of sophisticated FDI algorithms. However, increasing the complexity of FDI algorithms is not necessarily feasible. Particularly for on-line FDI, the FDI unit must have the minimum possible computation cost to prevent any long delays in fault detection.
In this research, we try to address the FDI problem of a single spool jet engine by using a modified linear multiple model (MM). We first develop a novel symbolic computation-based method for linearization purposes such that the obtained linear models are subjected to the symbolic fault variables. By substituting certain values for these symbolic variables, one can obtain different linear models, which describe mathematically the healthy and faulty models. In order to select the operating point, we use this fact that for a given constant fuel flow (W_f), the system reaches a steady state, that is varying for different values of W_f. Therefore, the operating points for linearization can be determined by the level of the Power Level Angel (PLA) (different values of W_f). These operating points are selected such that an observer, which is designed as a candidate for the healthy mode, can accurately estimates the states of the system in healthy scenario and the number of false alarm then would be kept to minimum. If the system works at different operating points one can then discretize the W_f into different intervals such that in each interval a linear model represents the behavior of the original system. By using the obtained models for different operating points, one designs the corresponding FDI units.
Second, we provide a modified multiple model (MM) approach to investigate the FDI problem of a single spool jet engine. The main advantage of this method lies in the fact that the proposed MM consists of a certain set of linear Kalman filter banks rather than using nonlinear Kalman filters such as the Extended Kalman Filter which requires more computational cost. Moreover, a hierarchical structural multiple model is used to detect and isolate multiple faults. The simulation results show the capability of the proposed method when it is applied to a single spool jet engine model.

This project will introduce Kindergarten through third grade Holy Trinity Academy students to alternative gardening. Students will learn how to plant a garden and cultivate a compost pile for fertilizing the garden. The complete project will take an entire school year with various lesson plans and hands on activities developed to enforce gardening concepts, nutrition, environmental awareness, recycling and community service. The students will learn basic gardening skills and gain horticulture knowledge.
By growing vegetables, children will better understand from where their food comes, gain more positive food attitudes and participate in the school garden to build leadership, team work, and self-confidence through ownership of a project and collaboration with other students.
The grant funding will be used to purchase materials including “how to” books, activity guides, gardening kits, indoor grow labs, green house shelves, maintenance tools, a lifetime composter, soil, seeds and a laptop for research.

Comeback rallies happen all the time but usually not capped by a hat trick. “This Day” has one of those moments. The early 90’s were still fairly a high flying time for the NHL where higher scores were common on a night to night basis. Just think back to a time where goalies had to stand on their heads and there were actual 100 point scorers in the league. Okay here is today’s moment from 19 years ago and a little video to go along with it.
Rookie Alexei Kovalev’s third goal of the game with 36 seconds left ended a four-goal rally in the final seven minutes and gave the Rangers a 6-5 win over Boston in New York. It was Kovalev’s first NHL hat trick.
This moment was a bit of a surprise but here we are going to spare the theatrics and get right down to it. Really this would be the best way to go about it.
Slap Shot director George Roy Hill died eight years ago today, December 27, 2002, at age 81. RIP, George, and thank you.

the spell freezes anything you point your wand at. it can freeze an animal, a person or thing.
Highly dangerous spell. it can be extremely effective, but if you are not extremely careful with what you bind a person from, it can cause enormous harm to the person bound, and the caster. there can also be serious karmic consequences.
not a spell that should be used without the utmost caution and care.

Sometimes suspects in a crime are located by law enforcement through dilgent police work.
Other times, they just get lucky.
The latter was the case Monday morning, when two juveniles suspected of having stolen a car from a residence in Woodbury were apprehended.
Woodbury Police Patrolman Chris Brown, who was off duty at the time, was traveling on John Bragg Hwy, toward Murfreesboro, shortly after 9 a.m., when he observed a vehicle matching the description of the one reported as stolen, a 2006 Hyundia Elantra.
Four people were in the car, which turned off the highway and then proceeded to Old Woodbury Pike, after the driver suspected they had been spotted.
Officer Brown contacted Cannon County Dispatch, who in turn notified the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department. Officer Brown followed the vehicle on Old Woodbury Pike until Rutherford County authorities stopped it in the vicinity of Bud's Tire Pros.
There were a total of four juveniles in the vehicle, two from Cannon County and two from Rutherford. Two of the four have been charged so far in connection with the car theft, Woodbury Police Chief Kevin Mooneyham said this afternoon.
The car, valued at $10,000, was reported as stolen on June 16 from an address on Greenbrier St. in Woodbury. Patrolman Patrick Fann reported the owner left an extra set of keys in the console and had not locked it. She noticed it was missing when she was going to take her husband out to eat at around 2:30 p.m.
Officer Fann observed that after the car was stolen it was driven into a yard across the street from the victim's residence and then went out of that driveway.

Knobs & Handles – Manufactured through an injection molding process, knobs and handles are made from a thermoplastic or thermoset plastic material. Plastic pellet material is fed into a heated barrel, mixed, and forced into a mold cavity where it cools and hardens to the configuration of the mold cavity. After a product is designed, metal molds are made by a moldmaker (or toolmaker) with either steel or aluminum, and precision-machined to form the features of the desired part. Injection molding is widely used for manufacturing a variety of plastic parts, from the smallest knobs to large auto body panels.
Seals – Seals are devices that prevent the passage of fluids along a rotating shaft. Seals are necessary when a shaft extends from a housing (enclosure) containing oil, such as a pump or a gearbox. Synthetic rubber, Viton and silicones are among the materials used for the sealing ring. We specialize in shaft seals, mechanical seals, bearing seals, hydraulic seals, v-ring seals, rubber gaskets, bearing isolations and custom molded rubber products. Our core competency is in custom seal design, application engineering, problem seal analysis and precision rubber manufacturing.

Why Having a Design Firm on Retainer Makes Sense for Any Business?
Hiring a design firm has become a thorny affair for many small and medium-sized business owners. It seems as though all the great design firms don’t have the time and your business is left with all the mediocre ones if you’re in a hurry. Most businesses don’t consider the prospect of hiring a design firm or even an individual with provable design skills on retainer. It’s a shame because a retainer can help businesses retain a great company without paying through the nose.

I did a News search at Google for Monosodium Glutamate and found a vaccine that contains MSG.
I have heard several reports on the Internet regarding the ingredients of the H1N1 flu vaccine and have read that because the manufacturers are trying to create massive quantities of the vaccine, several rather scary fillers are being added. Can you help me understand what the ingredients are? I understand that kerosene is one component and I'd like confirmation of the others. I'm curious what you will find.
We're curious about where you are finding your information, too. A good place to start your search is www.flu.oregon.gov. A link called "H1N1 Vaccine" will lead you to loads of information about the vaccine, but not a single mention of kerosene anywhere.
Copies of the package inserts that provide full information about the vaccine for doctors and patients can be found there or at www.fda.gov. Those list all the ingredients, but you'll have to scan through about two-thirds of each document to get to that information.
Essentially, each company producing the H1N1 vaccine uses the same methods and ingredients it uses to produce its seasonal flu vaccine.
"It's exactly the same as the seasonal flu vaccine, just with a different virus," explained Perrin Damon, an Oregon Department of Human Services spokeswoman. "It's just as safe."
A statement from Dr. Mel Kohn, director of the Oregon Public Health Division, also confirmed that no corners are being cut when it comes to the safety of manufacturing the vaccine, which will meet the same high standards as the seasonal flu vaccine.
Of course, the routine production of flu vaccine sounds kind of scary, what with growing viruses in fertile chicken eggs, then extracting and deactivating the virus with detergents, surfactants, organic solvents, and, in the case of Sanofi Pasteur, formaldehyde. The broken-apart virus is then cleaned and suspended in a sterile saline solution, usually buffered with sodium phosphate. Sanofi's formula promises no antibiotics, which are used in some production processes, and no latex, but does include gelatin as a stabilizer.
The nasal spray FluMist vaccine contains live virus in a sucrose solution that also includes amino acids, gelatin derived from pigs and monosodium glutamate. Depending on where you're from, those could qualify as scary fillers or ingredients found in the kitchen. It has no preservatives.
The three approved injectable vaccines — from CSL Ltd., Novartis and Sanofi — all come in preservative-free single doses or multi-dose vials that contain thimerasol, a mercury-derived preservative that some people avoid.
Damon also pointed out that today's vaccines don't contain any adjuvants, additives that enhance the immune response and are designed to enable doctors to inject less vaccine. Some H1N1 vaccines administered outside the U.S. include those chemicals and a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention video cited in some media reports said the U.S. could introduce them if the outbreak worsens.
One adjuvant — squalene, a natural hydrocarbon that is a precursor of steroids and cholesterol — has generated some controversy.
Re: Vaccine that contains MSG... Be Aware!!
I was doing some more research on the H1N1 flu shot and it having monosodium glutamate as one of the ingredients. Through my search, I came across a comment about an article (located HERE).
I (Physician’s name, degree)_________________________, _____ am a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of ________________.
Above I have highlighted the ingredients that I know are excitotoxins in yellow. The above ingredients highlighted in red are just plain toxic.
The paragraph highlighted in yellow,... well that is an example of how the medical industry has been covering up the fact that an excitotoxin "causes severe neurological and immunological damage".
The whole comment above thing, just totally pisses me off!! You?
BTW,... the FluMist H1N1 vaccine, the nasal spray version of this vaccine, contains the live swine flu virus. Just thought you should know.
Great thread. No way in h#ll is my family ever getting shot up with that sh!T. They can keep it.
Oh, I just thought I should let it be known that the Vaccine Safety form I posted is really done tongue in cheek. No medical physician is going to really sign something like this. I thought what was interesting about the form was the list of ingredients that have been used in vaccines at one time or another. Through my research of MSG, I have no doubt the list is accurate, it just might not be complete.
I came across another article about MSG in vaccines and was going to add it to this thread, but before I do, I would like to say a couple of things about what I have already posted.
First: This David Wallin guy is NOT someone I would give a lot of credence. That I even quoted him on this Forum is almost blasphemous. I DO NOT agree with his right-wing fascist belief and zealotry.
__________________________ That is what I have to say about that.
In addition to a culture of the bacteria or virus used as the active ingredient in a vaccine, other additives are used to stabilize, enhance and preserve the culture. Vaccines have different levels of additives like aluminum, which is added to some vaccines to prompt a more robust response from the immune system to the bacteria or virus. Vaccines for influenza and yellow fever are cultured in chicken eggs and the inoculation contains egg protein, which can produce allergic reactions in some people. Formaldehyde is a common additive used to force a bacterium into inactivity. An inactive bacterium will usually still provoke antibody production in a human, but is less likely to lead to contraction of an infection through the vaccine. Some vaccines use monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a preservative.
These additional ingredients may or may not create an adverse reaction in a patient. It's an excellent idea to understand what added ingredients are found in vaccines before they're administered to your child.
Some vaccines use monosodium glutamate (MSG) as a preservative.
...I disagree with totally. MSG has never been and never will be a preservative. The only reason why MSG would be used in vaccines is to weaken the immune system to the virus can over power the body enough so the body goes to work to try to defeat the virus. That's it!!
The rest of the article just re-bolsters the already said information that harmful ingredients are in vaccines. And not just adult vaccines, but child's too.

C.S.Farmer says that whatever you do on the first day of the year will show how you wish to spend the rest of the year. I guess it's good that I didn't take a LONG nap. There are too many things to do.
It's been many years since I made resolutions at the beginning of a new year. I guess you could say that I whimp out by not making goals. The thought is, you can't fail if you don't set goals. Actually, you can fail. Perhaps there isn't as much guilt as when you declare that you will do something. Wrong. I believe that we all have an internal compass for the things we want to achieve.
Some of those things qualify to be called dreams. Does anyone else out there get excited with the idea of fulfilling dreams? Maybe you want to learn a new hobby, start a new business, or redefine who you are ( or want to be). I think of Elinor in the Jane Austen book, Sense and Sensibility. As Elinor rode horseback with Edward, she told him how limited the choices were for women. We are in a fortunate day and age for realizing our dreams. This year I'm going to be more purposeful with my goals and the actions I take towards them. Everyday I read and hear about folks, just like me, who achieve the things they want. I sometimes don't know whether I'm more afraid of failing or succeeding. Weird- yes, I know! That was VERY personal and I just shared it with you. I would love to know if you have ever dealt with the same issue.
I have to somehow prevent the tail from wagging the dog. Cute saying, but better explained if I tell you that I'm the Queen of Minutia! Hello! Nice to meet you. Minutia is defined briefly as small or trivial detail. With all the ideas and dreams I have, I find myself searching for a very large snow shovel. No, it isn't snowing. I need a shovel for all of the laundry and dishes. "Minutia here...minutia there. Here a minutia, there a minutia, everywhere a minutia" (think the Farmer in the Dell song). I know that farm life brings with it many chores, jobs and responsibilities. A family with food allergies means that everything must be freshly cooked. That's a given, but there should still be plenty of time to work towards my goals. I lost my job of seven years a few weeks ago. I wasn't at fault- just one of those things. One would think there was more time now. It has been gobbled up by the hungry minutia. One would hope that the Queen of Minutia could control her kingdom. I'm still working on it, folks.
This has been a long post, and I have to go out and look for that snow shovel before it gets dark. I welcome supportive comments, suggestions, and ideas. I want to thank everyone who has read this blog in 2011 and has returned to visit again. Thank you for following me. Thanks to my new friends. Blessings for 2012.
Queen of Minutia to get out here with some carrots soon.
patrice, i'm sorry to hear about your job loss. your chef job? i do hope your vegetable business will be bountiful enough to sustain you this year! and i really do want to see you get into that studio of yours and create some things!!!
My days are much the same but no complaints from me. The clutter is passing from convivial to overwhelming so, p'haps, I'll tackle that this week...right after I go to my lawyers and call the *&^% telephone company to complain about STILL not service.
Well, Patrice, I think life is made up of all of the things you said, Ron has been home a week. He looked at me on Saturday morning and said," I didn't anything done that I planned on getting done." He told me he has no clue how I ever get anything accomplished. He would fall in bed each night after living my life. He even took Emilie to the dentist for me and was so happy he doesn't do my jobs.
So I think with running a farm and all that you do, you get lots accomplished.
I just stood there thinking, really? How do you do that?
I walked away feeling happy that I have so much to get done each day.
I do hope you have a lovely New Year in spite of loosing your job. I am sure you will have lots of other opportunities.
General day to day living can be overwhelming with minutia as you call it, I know only to well, but all the time adds up to getting a whole lot done in a day just write a list of what you have done and see. Sorry to hear you have lost your job look at it as a turning point that you can do other things.
We are all different so this is just a little of how my brain works, heck did I say works!!!I'm still looking for my mojo;)after a blogging break!!!
This has turned into a long comment!!and I didn't mean it to.
Happy New Year, hope this turns into a year of open door for you.
I think you are ready for a new year. Have a cup of tea, write in your journal, take a few weeks off from recipe finding and use the old faithfuls. Just put a few things away. That's enough. Feel cherished. You are.
Happy New Year to you AND Wendell!
Blessings for an abundant 2012!
Minutia - I love that word! Just keep wanting to say it over and over.
Anyway, Minutia really can make a roadblock in our path when we are trying to get things done.
I think if we focus on priorities it helps push that minutia out of the way. We all have different priorities in life so the job is to figure out what our own priorities are.
Stress is right up there with minutia so do not get stressed if you stray off the path for awhile - you can always get back on it.
P.S. I also wanted to say I am sorry about the loss of your job. I hope things work out for the best.
Hello Patrice, All things are for a reason, we do not understand the reason at the time but it will become clear in the future. I am sorry about your job, but something else is planned for you in the future. Take this time to enjoy what you have in your life and what truely makes you happy and go for it! Take care and happy new year.
Sorry to hear that you lost your job. It's always a hard thing no matter if expected or not.
Anyone who runs a farm amazes me with the amount of work they have to do - all that minutiae. I think that raising a family and running a farm are both full-time, hugely important jobs to do. You can be proud of what you're accomplishing.

What's happened to NZ's youngest implant receptient?
Josh Foreman was New Zealand's youngest person to have cochlear implant surgery when he was two years old. Now, he's 25 and graduating from the University of Auckland. The New Zealand Herald has a video report (no captions but there is text here.
I did "Dancing With the Stars," and people said, "hey, deaf people can dance." I raised a million dollars for hearing aids for children on "Celebrity Apprentice." I try to show by what I do that deaf people don't have to be put in a little box. But we still have "disability blackface," where 95 percent of television characters with a disability on television are played by able-bodied actors. You still have the thinking that deaf actors only act in deaf storylines; any story line can feature an actor who is deaf. The topic needs to be part of our conversation.
A Georgia father and his son got cochlear implants together-despite the fact the father was at first against his son getting an implant. Atlanta's Fox 5 was there when Randy Adams had his implant activated.
The Mississippi School for the Deaf women's basketball team made it to the second round of the 1A state playoffs for the first time in school history. Coach Victorica Monroe told the Clarion Ledger, "When we became a part of history it really was shocking because I wasn’t thinking about it like that. I just wanted to come and be a good coach, and in the meantime we’ve made history.” Read the full story here.
The spy agency in charge of the most advanced imaging technology in the world has a budget of more than $5 billion. But "right now they have a position for a sign language interpreter that they’re not allowed to fill." Gizmodo explains why.
Cassandra Kinney says the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff's Office failed to provide her an sign language interpreter. Police were called to her home several times but she says they failed to get her side of the story. Now she has filed a lawsuit. Action News Jax has a video report here.
A demonstration opposing the Syrian airstrike turned violent in Jacksonville, Florida. Among those arrested was Connell Crooms, who is deaf. Action News Jax has a video report about a rally in his support at the county courthouse.
Feliciaia Crooms says police severely beat her deaf son in Jacksonville, Florida-and then refused to let her to see him either at the hospital or later in jail. The Florida Times-Union has a report on the several hundred people who gathered at the Duval courthouse in support of protesters arrested Friday night.
The deaf and hard-of-hearing are in need health resources in the Rio Grande Valley. KRGV-TV has a video report from south Texas on the issue.
North Carolina lawmakers have approved a new system to help law enforcement identify people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It passed the State House and is now on its way to the State Senate. WRAL-TV has more on the story here.
Frankie Thomson has flown for decades by himself, despite being deaf-blind. But he was removed from a Easyjet flight going from Edinburgh to Gatwick.Thomson was told the decision was for "safety reasons."Read the full story here.
A mom in Huntsville, Alabama says her school district has taken away her 8-year-old son's sign language interpreter. Ryann Brown told AL.com, "He cannot benefit from any type of hearing aid or cochlear implant so he fully relies on sign language to communicate. Taking away his interpreter would provide him with no access to language in the classroom." Read the full story here.
A class action lawsuit is asking the courts to make Denver's Pepsi Center include captioning on its video board and "provide interpreters for hearing-impaired fans at events when the video board isn’t in use." Read the full story from KMGH-TV.
A bill in the Alabama legislature had pitted "the deaf culture and the 'hearing deaf' culture," against one another, advocate Leigh Leak says. According to AL.com, HB 253, proposed by Rep. Margie Wilcox, aims "to help deaf kids who are falling through the cracks" but "advocates in the 'hearing deaf' culture are afraid the bill will force children who use spoken language to learn American Sign Language." They complain the opt out option for children with cochlear implants is too weak. Read the full story from AL.com here or look at the bill itself here.

It was good, but I’m also glad that it’s over – I always am, it’s all just too much.
It is a mixed bag, yeah?
But… I wouldn’t mind a little more.
I wish we could have a little more.
I wish we could have a little bit more.
not a little bit: a lot!

Download "Popularity Weighted Ranking for Academic Digital Libraries"
2 606 Y. Sun and C.L. Giles We define a new popularity factor that reflects the influence of publication venues and overcomes the limitations of a venue s impact factor. A popularity factor weighted ranking score of a paper in the proposed ranking method is defined by the weighted citations from other papers and the popularity factor of its publication venue and is implemented on the CiteSeer metadata. A user study with four evaluators shows the improved performance of this new algorithm. We also use clickthrough data from CiteSeer usage log to validate the results. 2 Weighted Ranking According to information foraging theory, users of information retrieval systems will evaluate the value of documents by information cues (such as title, author, venue, citation count, publication date of a paper in academic digital libraries) and follow the most valuable document. The more cues they encounter, the better they can evaluate the value. Lexical similarity only shows a limited information cue about a document. Citation count as an information cue is usually considered to be strongly correlated to academic document impact . Although it is widely used in academic evaluation, citation count has limitations which make it less precise. The citation count of an individual paper by itself does not reflect the different citation structure in each discipline. The papers with high impact and the ones with low impact are treated the same in citation count . 2.1 Weighted Ranking Method In our research users are modeled as optimal information foragers who evaluate the cost of pursuing a document by information cues and follow the most valuable document . According to this user model, the reference in a high impact paper will have a high probability to be followed by users. The citations of a paper should be viewed as weighted links. Not only the count of citations but also the impact of citations matters in this sense. Furthermore, the quality of the publication venue where a document is published is also an important information cue for users to evaluate the value of a document. Popularity Factor. All serious research publication venues have a peer review process for publishing papers. It is fair to consider that the impact of a paper is partially reflected by where the paper is published. Impact factors of journals are widely used in evaluating the quality of publication venues. There are limitations about the definition and the usage of impact factors. The impact factor is not normalized across research areas. The calculation of an impact factor only considers a 3 year period. But important papers may receive many citations after 3 years. Conferences are not considered in the calculation. Conferences often play very important roles in computer and information science research because of their timeliness and popularity.
3 Popularity Weighted Ranking for Academic Digital Libraries 607 We introduce the popularity factor to consider venue as an information cue and to reflect the influence of a publication venue. The popularity factor is defined based on citation analysis of publication venues. Note that the popularity factor does not distinguish journals from conference or workshop proceedings. The popularity factor of a publication venue v in a given year is defined by Equation 1: PF(v, t) = n v N i P PF(i, t) w(i). (1) N(i) where PF(v,t) is the popularity factor of publication venue v in a given year t, P is the set of publication venues i which cite v in that year, and n v is the number of papers published in venue v in that year. If N is the total number of papers published in that year in a particular discipline, n v /N represents the probability of a reader having access to a paper published in the publication venue v. Let w(i) be the weightwhich represents the frequency that venue i cites venue v. N(i) is the total number of references generated by venue i, and PF(v,t) is normalized so their squares sum to 1 for reasons of convergence: v (PF(v, t))2 =1and has a range from 0 to 1 with larger values ranked higher. In our definition, a discipline is considered as a collection of related publication venues. The number of total papers in a discipline can be obtained by counting all the papers in all venues of the discipline. Multiple popularity factor values for one venue may occur in different disciplines. According to our definition, this popularity factor differs from the impact factor by considering the impact of all publication venues, recent to long ago papers, and the probability of reader access. These differences overcome several shortcomings of the impact factor and provide a robust and reliable measure for publication venues. The popularity factor is computed with a simple iterative algorithm and achieve convergence point after 18 iterations [9,14]. Top 5 venues ranked by popularity factors in 2004 based on our database (includes primarily Computer Science and Engineering papers) is listed in Table 1. Table 1. Popularity factors for computer science venues in Conferences and journals are both included. Popularity factor Name INFOCOM ACM SIGPLAN ACM SIGCOMM Human factors in computing systems Mobile computing and networking Ranking Score. A paper will nearly always be cited after it is published. A citation relationship in a published document should not change over time (revisions to technical reports may be an exception). Figure 1 illustrates the temporal effect of citation graphs.
5 Popularity Weighted Ranking for Academic Digital Libraries 609 evaluators judging the relevance of the retrieved documents to specific queries. In this research we compare our ranking method to naive PageRank, citation count and HITS using discounted cumulative gain method with four human evaluators. Two of the evaluators were graduate students from computer science department whose research interest is in data mining and Web search. One is a research programmer who has experience on machine learning program development. The other evaluator is a software engineer with Master s degree in computer science. The four ranking algorithms are implemented in a basic information retrieval system which indexes 536,724 papers metadata from the CiteSeer database using Lucene in which tf-idf is used as the basic ranking function. The evaluation is expected to compare the performance of the re-ranking functions beyond lexical similarity. Top 5 ranked papers by our algorithm with comparison to naive PageRank, citation count and authority scores of HITS are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Ranking scores of the top 5 papers in computer science Title Weighted PageRank Citation HITS The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine - Brin (1998) Boosting a Weak Learning Algorithm By Majority - Freund (1995) A Tutorial on Learning With Bayesian Networks Heckerman (1996) Irrelevant Features and the Subset Selection Problem - John (1994) Dynamic Itemset Counting and Implication Rules for Market Basket Data - Motwani (1997) Evaluation Method Discounted cumulative gain (DCG) [8,20] measure considers the ranking of papers in addition to the relevant score from evaluators. The assumption in DCG is the lower the ranked position of a paper the less valuable it is for the user because the less likely it is going to be examined by users. Human evaluators are required to rate the ranked papers with a score from 0 to 2, where 0 represents non relevance, 1 represents marginal relevance, and 2 represents high relevance. The DCG value is computed separately at each relevance level. The agreement among evaluators is examined by kappa statistics to show the confidence level by using the evaluation results. The kappa statistic is a standard measure of agreement with categorical data to access the degree to which two or more raters agree in assigning data to categories . Fifty queries were selected from the CiteSeer query log. Papers are ranked by the four ranking algorithms separately in addition to the tf-idf lexical similarity measure. Top twenty papers are mixed and presented to four human evaluators (using four evaluators is considered enough for DCG evaluation methods [8,20]).
6 610 Y. Sun and C.L. Giles 3.2 Results Kappa Measure. The agreement among the four evaluators was examined for each of the 50 queries. The average kappa agreement among the four evaluators is 53% which is considered to be in the level of moderate agreements . Precision Recall. The precision-recall curves at different relevance levels for the four algorithms using standard methods are presented in Figure 2. Fig. 2. Precision-Recall of the four ranking algorithms at relevance level 1(a) and 2(b) DCG. The DCG vector curves for ranks 1-20 is shown in Figure 3. The DCG scores are shown in Table 3. Both the curve and statistics show that our algorithm significantly outperforms the other three algorithms for documents ranked after rank 10. Fig. 3. DCG at various document rankings 3.3 Validity of Results To validate the results, a pairwise measure of each ranking algorithm is calculated using the clickthrough data extracted from CiteSeer usage log. For any pair of papers, if the clickthrough rate of the high-ranked paper is larger than the lowranked paper, we consider this pair is correctly ranked. The average pairwise accuracy of each algorithm is listed in Table 4.

Average pairwise accuracy based on Clickthrough data Our Algorithm naive PageRank Citation Count HITS Ave. accuracy 74.18% 70.29% 67.1% 67.13% 4 Discussion and Conclusions A new weighted ranking score of a paper was defined by the weighted citations from other papers and the popularity factor of its publication venue. A ranking system based on the Lucene index and Citeseer metadata was built and was used to evaluate our algorithm with comparison to other popular ranking algorithms. The algorithm is evaluated by DCG method using human evaluators and we compare its results to the ranking of naive PageRank, citation counts and HITS. The comparison results show that the weighted ranking algorithm improves the DCG ranking performance by 8.5% compared to naive PageRank, 16.3% compared to citation count and 23.2% compared to HITS. We also use the clickthrough data from CiteSeer usage log to validate the results. This leads us to believe that our weighted ranking algorithm is more accurate than those currently being used. Our evaluation experiment shows that the user agreement on paper rankings is not very high. Effective personalized ranking algorithms would most likely satisfy the diversity of most user information needs. References 1. Citeseer, 2. D. Cutting, The Lucene Search Engine, E.

The L'Occitane Beauty Easter Egg!
Easter is just around the corner and if you're looking for gift ideas or an alternative to a traditional Easter egg, thanks to L'Occitane, I may just have something for you!
Are you wondering what the Easter surprise is?
There's two different options available however in this post, you can see the 'Cherry Blossom' version which out of the two, is my favourite! It's delicate, fruity and really embraces the beauty of the Cherry Blossom tree - taking inspiration from the pastel colours too.
For those of you wondering - the other version is the VERBENA Beauty Easter Egg which is the much-loved zesty scent from L'Occitane.
Click here to view the L'Occitane Verbena Beauty Egg.
As you can see, inside the L'Occitane Beauty Easter Egg, there's three sample-sized products which are great as a little gift for someone or as a treat for yourself.
Personally, I love sets like this as it's a great way to try other products from a brand without spending too much and it's also a great way to introduce yourself to a brand if you haven't used any of their products before.
As I've mentioned above, I'm featuring the Cherry Blossom range as this is the one which has been sent to me as a gift and as you all know, this would be my normal choice anyway.
You all know that I love reading your comments so let me know what you think about these L'Occitane Beauty Easter Eggs! Will you be shopping them as alternative gifts or treating yourself?
Which ranges out of the two do you prefer? The Cherry Blossom set or the Verbena set?

Melbourne based stylist Marsha Golemac and photographer Brooke Holm have come together to create ‘Workbook’ a visual diary and exhibition of nature’s beauty in juxtaposition with intensively restrained styled studio images.
Golemac and Holm have been collaborating across editorial and commercial assignments for many years. ‘Workbook’ is the culmination of their individual professional pursuits in studio styling and outdoor photography, a collection of still life and landscape images that are at once symbiotic and contradictory.
The images created are hauntingly beautiful couplings. Vast and serene landscapes, wonderlands of our earth, harmonise with drifting paper, obscure objects and stylised paper motifs. Refined and arresting, ‘Workbook’ is a lookbook of human interactive interpretation with the organic. Soft hues of natural light in the measureless expanse of nature find companionship with the minuscule.
Limited copies of Workbooks well as large-scale prints are available for purchase.

TODAY VENEZUELA NEWS – Insightcrime.org – the National Bolivarian Police used its informal WhatsApp networks to share the results of an operation that led to the rescue of a 65-year-old businessman, who, according to the police, had been kidnapped the same day.
The operation was carried out in the Tuy Valley’s La Bonanza landfill in southeast Caracas. According to the police, the area is home to the kidnapping gang led by a man known as Buitre, or “Vulture.” Three men, including a 16-year-old adolescent known as “El Fresa,” were killed during the first stages of the police operation.
Shortly thereafter the police returned to the site and found the kidnapped man inside a truck. The criminals supposedly returned to the area and exchanged fire with the police. All of them were killed.
The dismantling of the gang was celebrated on social networks. According to newspaper reports, a bunker had been built in the landfill and was used to detain the people the gang kidnapped. However, there is no photographic evidence yet of this structure.
Classified data from the Interior Ministry (Ministerio de Relaciones Interiores – MRI) shows a significant increase in the number of deaths associated with clashes between criminals and military or police officials, which are registered under the technical classification of, “resistance against authorities.” During the first nine months of 2016, a total of 4,156 deaths were registered under this classification.
In other words, this year Venezuelan security forces have killed an average of 15 people per day, or one person every one and a half hours.
Not all cases of “resistance against authorities” result in death. According to Roberto Briceño León, the Director of the Venezuelan Violence Observatory, death occurs in seven out of every ten of these cases. In 2015, the ratio was four of every ten cases.
The eight killings in La Bonanza took place between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., which according to the MRI is the time of day that the most deaths occur.
However, a significant portion of these killings also takes place between midnight and 3 a.m., when police activities normally decrease.
This would appear to suggest that police officers use the early hours of the morning to carry out violent activity. Well-known among these activities are the “People’s Liberation” operations, which began in July 2005 in Caracas’ Cementerio and Cota 905 sectors. According to one of Provea’s spokespersons, between then and October 31, they caused the deaths of 805 people. Approximately 560 of those deaths took place this year.
At the time of this writing, one of these operations was taking place in Caracas’ Pinto Salinas sector. Following the precedent of previous operations carried out across the capital, the operation began in the early hours of the day.
Statistics based on police reports indicate that most of the deaths caused by clashes with police occur on public routes, highways and in parks (48.7 percent), and another significant portion in neighborhoods located on the outskirts of cities and rural villages (36.4 percent).
However, police reports show little information as to the places where these deaths really occur. According to Rodríguez, field research shows that the agents enter people’s homes and execute the alleged criminals when they have surrendered and are in police custody.
Although the prosecutor’s office tends to avoid talking about these cases, in August 2015 it had to go public after a police officer in Carabobo State killed a young man and then later returned to the house where his uncle lived and killed him as well in order to erase any evidence.
In the same month, five Aragua policemen were detained after a video went public, showing the officers killing a man, after which three others were allegedly killed.
One of the reasons that could explain the increase of police violence is the growing number of criminal gangs in Venezuela, as well as the arsenals they maintain.
“This uptick in the number of gangs was not something we were aware of and, unfortunately, it looks as though the police are a part of these criminal groups as well,” said Donnagee Sandoval, Director of the Fundepro foundation, which offers public officers legal assistance.
The reported number of policemen, military and security guards killed in Venezuela as of October (342) suggests that this year could break a new record. It also shows that there is no clear balance between the number of public officers and criminals killed.
The ratio of agents to criminals killed during clashes in 2016 is 1 for every 13.
Furthermore, according to Sandoval, only 61 officers were on duty when they were attacked — that is, only 17.4 percent. According to one of Provea’s spokespersons, during the 2016 “People’s Liberation” operations only one police officer was killed by criminals, and only three injured.
Even so, police deaths concern the government due to their ever increasing numbers in the last few years. During a meeting with heads of the country’s police forces, the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Major General Néstor Reverol, suggested that criminal gangs could be considered “paramilitaries,” which he claims is sufficient to warrant a greater use of lethal force against them.
Since the appointment of this military officer from the National Guard last August, the average number of people killed by police has reached 525 people per month. According to Rodríguez, the discourse on the fight against an “internal enemy” has become so prevalent that government practices are unlikely to change any time soon.
“There is a consensus that may hinder the implementation of other policies. The biggest concern is that our justice system is partial and corrupt, which allows for 98 percent impunity in crimes,” he warned.

High quality waterjet cutting garnet abrasive is mined from hard rock deposits in Rizhao and wet & dry processed by Rizhao Garnet ltd(RZG).
In waterjet cutting, garnet grains are entrained in a high-velocity stream of water that impacts the material to be cut at high pressure. Water jet cutting is most commonly used for inflammable materials, such as in oil refineries, but also for underwater steel structures and for shaping such materials as marble, granite, automotive glass, textiles, plastics, aluminum, and high-strength steel. Specials crushed RZG water jet Almandine garnet abrasive with sharp, angular cutting edges increase the cutting speed by 10-15% comparing that our Alluvial garnet.
The garnet in the RIZHAO MINE is mostly of the Almandine / Almandite variety (FeO, Fe2O3, Al2O3 ,SiO2) with a hardiess of 7.5-8 and S.G. of 4.1 (about 140 lbs per cubic foot). It crystallizes in the isometric system, forming dodecahedrons, trapezohedrons and cubic crystals of various colors, mostly red pinkish to dark brown. It crushes into sharp angled, chunky fragments ideally suited for aggressive cutting.
You’ve made a significant investment in your Waterjet cutting equipment. With RZG water jet Almandine Garnet, you can be confident you’ll maximize production and safeguard your investment.
RZG water jet Almandine garnet abrasive is a crystalline hard rock garnet which produces very sharp angular grains during processing. These sharp angular grains provide superior cutting speed, straighter cuts(less taper) from top to bottom and cleaner edges.
RZG water jet Almandine garnet abrasive’s high standard of processing ensures high purity garnet and highly accurate sizing of grains. This ensures there is no dust or ineffective fine grains to restrict garnet free flow and no oversize grains to block focusing tubes. A steady flow of garnet to the focusing tube and no blockages allows uninterrupted production without downtime resulting in optimum efficiency and lowest production costs.
RZG water jet Almandine garnet abrasive is produced by the largest China producer of industrial Garnet-Rizhao Garnet LTD. RZG owns three large-scale mines with a reserve of over 250 million tons of garnet. The entire automated production processing includes 4 times crushing, 6 times washing, 3 times magnetic separation and 4 times screening, ensuring an annual output of 100,000tons of garnet and promising the highest standard of quality in respect of mineral purity and meeting stringent requirements of ISO 11126-10:2000E for chloride and free silica content.
RZG water jet Almandine garnet abrasive offers a choice of grade to match any focusing tube and orifice for any given cutting application.
RZG water jet Almandine garnet 80mesh, the most popular waterjet abrasive grade used worldwide, delivers the optimum balance of cutting speed and precision edge.
For high speed cutting, we recommend RZG water jet Almandine garnet 50mesh, which in some cases can deliver up to a 30% increase in cutting speed but at the expense of a reduced precision edge.
Where a high precision and minimum tolerance edge is required we recommend RZG water jet Almandine garnet 120mesh.
RZG water jet Almandine Garnet waterjet cutting abrasives grades are available to meet all of your specification project requirements.

Agree with the previous comments. I hope you'll find the weekly routine more annoying than "disabling". Day of (includes the disinfecting chore), and day after, being the worst. Nothing you can't deal with in the positive pro-active approach. Of course, report anything extremely abnormal to the doc. A urine test first will check for infections, so you can proceed. An infection would halt the treatment til cleared up. I scheduled mine early AM, then went to work. A break after the 6 weeks to let things settle down, then a scope to go in and see what happened. Good luck on your journey, and come back to keep us informed or ask questions.
I have to ditto what Sara Anne says! This is doable. I would describe this as uncomfortable and no fun but, it sure as heck beats chemo. Fatigue, burning, irritation, etc but this too will pass. I am 6 years out and feel very fortunate.
You have a great attitude and it will help you through this!! I had the complete BCG experience...the 6 week initial series and maintenance for almost two years. Everyone's experience is slightly different, of course, but I found that it was very "do-able." In fact, being Dental-Phobic, I would rather do BCG than go to the dentist!!
For most of us the side effects are not severe, although they do increase as you accumulate more treatments. This is your body reacting to the BCG...which is exactly what you want to happen. If there were NO reactions, that would indicate that your body is not responding.
My side effects, at first, were discomfort and cramping and bleeding during the hours right after the treatments. Stayed sort of close to the bathroom!! And a bit of fatigue the day after/the second day after. As the treatments continued, the fatigue did increase. I also had some bladder irritation and burning (BCG-cystitis) and, on several occasions, we had to postpone the treatments for a week or so so that the irritation could heal. By the time I finished treatment, I was at a reduced dose, which is not uncommon.
You will do just fine. Keep in your mind that this is MUCH easier than chemo which many cancer patients must undergo.
Hi everyone, I just had my second Turb to remove two superficial, non invasive, papillary tumors 3 weeks ago and will be getting BCG treatments starting next week after the pathologists report suggested that there MAY BE higher grade cells present. Once again did not want to hear that but I am all for the BCG Treatments, if for no other reason then to be pro-active in fighting this damn disease! My question is for anyone who has had BCG treatments and what their experiences were. I just really want to be prepared for everything in the possible side effect department! Thanks so much for posting all your experiences on this forum, your support and wisdom is in-valuable!!

Under the approaching energy crisis, connected with the rapid rise in prices for oil and gas, as well as with economic recession in the West, the GUAM countries decided to revive their political activity, introducing a resolution on “frozen conflicts” into the UN. It was naturally done on the advice of Azerbaijan, which plays a key role in the organization thanks to its raw material resources. Georgia and Ukraine may serve as energy-transit countries, while Moldova… Things are a bit different with Moldova.
BATUMI, Georgia — Officials from Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova are in the Georgian city of Batumi for the first day of the two-day GUAM summit, with energy issues topping the agenda.
The regional grouping, which includes Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova, was founded in 1997 to foster cooperation between the former Soviet states and promote closer ties with the West.
Armenia. Presidental elections 2008. Part 2.
Pre-Election Armenia: Unrolling the “Orange” Scenario?
The current phase of Armenia’s election campaign has become most active in the past several months and is now close to its apex. For nearly a year the republic has been in a state of pre-election commotion (with a brief break in summer). The example of Ukraine’s early elections, when different branches of authority and insiders withstood one another, the political crises that permanently changed one another, clearly demonstrated what the genuine orchestrators of this “holiday of democracy” drove at. They aimed at splitting the society as best they could, provoking different groups to fight one another, enfeebling and discrediting institutes of state authority, and riding this wave trying to bring about a change in the foreign policy of the “experimented on “ country. Moreover, discourses of Ukraine’s potential NATO entry in 2009 are now hoary tales, and the West has stopped making special attempts to conceal the fact that the early parliamentary elections were a show aimed at dragging Ukraine into this Western military bloc.

In the summer of 2005 I made one of the biggest decision of my relatively young life – I shaved my head. A friend of mine who had shaved his head a few years prior had been encouraging me to do the same for some time as we both suffered from the challenge of thinning hair. I couldn’t find the nerve to do the same until I booked a solo trip to Sicily which gave me an opportunity to live with my new look. So the day before I fly off, my friend brought his clippers over, the hair came off, and my life changed forever.
I was spending much too much time on my thinning hair every morning. Using gel, mouse, hair spray, anything that I could get my hands on that would help me style my hair. The reality is all the product in the world isn’t going to help you out if you don’t have enough hair to use it on.
But us balding or bald men will probably all agree that we go through a state of denial – “No I’m not losing my hair” or “I have always had a hairline that went back behind my ears”. There is a fear of public opinion. A fear that women will look at you in a different, a negative way. All of our thoughts are more or less the opposite of reality.
Before I move on just a quick clarification. When I refer to shaving your head it doesn’t necessarily mean right down to your scalp. Taking your hair down while still leaving some stubble will work just as well.
A Sense of Dominance: In a 2013 study, “Shorn Scalps and Perceptions of Male Dominance,” by Albert Mannes found that: “a shaved scalp is associated with dominance”. Shaving your head does take a bit of confidence and I believe that is noticed by other people.
$$$$: Savings. Since that summer in 2005 I have only paid for one haircut and that was while on vacation in Tropea, Italy – I wrote about it in my review for Cella Shave Soap. I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing that I have saved about $3000 over ten years.
Time: I literally went from spending about 10 to 15 mins on my hair to zero. I wake up, I shower (also quicker), get dressed and head off to work.
I’m sure that I can come up with a bunch of reasons as to why to shave your head, like the feeling of the wind across your head when you first shave your hair, but you get the idea. Of course I wouldn’t necessarily suggest someone with a full head of hair to shave your head – you got it keep it. But if you are thinning I don’t see how you can lose really. In the end if you hate it you could always grow back the hair that had.

I bought an item for my daughter from a website called GOTAMOCHI. We paid for it using her debit card (HSBC Junior Account, she's 13 years old) but within half an hour decided to cancel the order. I emailed the company (as per the instructions on their website) but heard nothing back. Long story short after several weeks and emails the item arrived but is faulty so as per their site again I requested an authorisation to return the item for a refund. It has to be sent back to Canada which is going to cost a tenner but the company say they will only refund shipping if the item is faulty. The fault itself is that the Bluetooth feature doesn't work but the company say that Bluetooth is not a feature of the product despite this being on the box and in the instruction manual and it being a feature that is used to sell the item to fans. Therefore if I send it back I have a feeling that I'll be a tenner down and will probably struggle to get my refund anyway (a Google search shows the company is not the best). Should I send it back or just open a transaction dispute with the bank to get refunded that way?
IVA with Churchwood/Kingsgate Insolvency. Money Gone Missing?
Sent the letter and got a reply saying that the issue had been returned to Cabot. Haven't heard anything since so hopefully this issue has been resolved at last.
Would the sb letter constitute confirmation of the debt?
Oh and they wrote to my wife at our new address where we have lived for the last 18 months Also would this now be statue barred?
So is ben three years since my last post regarding this matter but this morning we received a letter chasing the money from Ruthbridge who have taken over the debt from Cabot. Am i right in thinking this is basically the same as the previous transfer from Northern Rock to Cabot and I dont actually need to do anything about this?
All work was undertaken by the landlord using his own builder so thinks like cracks on the plaster and the home on the bedroom wall where they fitted the sink next door is all on him. Have to agree on the alarm situation as it's great it's theyre but right over the oven is a ridiculous place to have fitted it. In regards to the red walls etc, could I argue that I'm not responsible for repainting due to other issues I've had to live with such as his refusal to sort out the oven electrics etc?
I have been living in a privately rented property since October 2010, signing a six month lease to begin with and a yearly one since April 2011. Long story short I am about to move out as I take my family back to my hometown and finally escaping the city but I am not sure what responsibilities I have when moving out. I have been living in the house with my wife and three kids so obviously there has been general wear and tear to the property (hard to avoid with kids aged 11,8 and 2) but nothing that I would deem extreme (for want of a better word). During the time that we have lived here the landlord has fitted a new bathroom and added an extension to the back to give us a kitchen diner so he has put some money into the property but the new kitchen is at least 2 years old now and there are some signs of wear on the walls (dirty marks etc). As for the living room we painted a couple of the walls red (they were all beige when we moved in) and my youngest has ripped the net curtains in a couple of places. Is it down to me to repaint the house back to the colours that were in place before we moved in or is that up to the landlord to sort out? I have filled in a couple of small holes in the wall that I made when putting up pictures (DIY is not my strong suit) but there are sizeable holes that were made by the sky engineer when he was fitting our multi room so agin is it my job to fill those or not? Upstairs there is an unpainted wall in my baby sons room which the landlord had replastered to try and fix a damp issue that we have throughout the upper floor of the house but he never came back to get it painted and I was so hacked off with his inability to sort the damp issue properly that I refused to paint it myself. On the wall going up the stairs there are small patches of damp which I try my best to keep clean but keep coming back and in my bedroom there is alot of damp coming through around where the landlord had new plaster boards fitted to the celings as his solution to the problem (I dread to think what it might actually be like under the new boards he fitted). Oh and in my daughters bedroom there is a hole in the wall where the builder who fitted the new bathroom drilled right through from the bathroom when fitting the sink to the wall. Finally there are stains on the carpet (which has not been changed since we moved in) though again I would argue that these are not necessarily anything out of the general wear and tear that occurs with kids over time. I guess what I'm asking is, how much work am I expected to put in when it comes to leaving the property and handing it back to the landlord? Do I have to repaint the whole place and are things like carpets my responsibilty? Also do I have to fill holes made by other people and is it up to me to replace the net curtain or can I just take it down? Oh and whilst I think about it the landlord fitted a sheet of lino on the floor in the new kitchen but it has never been completely flat and therefore it has sustained small tears in certain places meaning the whole sheet will likely have to come up, is this down to me or him? My wife says she does not intend to replace or pay for anything as his false fixes for the damp and other things like fitting a heat detecting alarm directly above the oven meaning it constantly goes off have annoyed her to the point that she doesn't see why she should have to. Speaking of the oven it has not worked properly since the new kitchen was fitted as evrytime you turn on the switch to be able to use the ovens ignition button it trips the circuit for the entire room and stops everything from working. Rather than agreeing to fix the problem which would have involved having to sort out the electrics by taking tiles and so on off the walls his solution was that we should light the oven with matches which involves having to squeeze a match into one of the slits in the bottom of the oven and turning on the gas whilst hopefully not burning yourself We have been doing this the entire time the new kitchen has been there. So is she right in thinking there are issues with the house so on the grounds of fairness we should not have to repaint walls etc or do we not have a leg to stand on?
In closing the original matter that drove this thread I can confirm that the bank reopened the account after my 6 years was up and i was able to access the money.

Custom-made mouth guards — These are individually designed and made in your dentist’s office or a professional dental laboratory. Not surprisingly, they are likely to provide the most comfortable fit and best protection. Your dentist makes an impression of your teeth and then constructs the mouth guard over a model of them. Because they fit and feel better, most athletes prefer customized mouth guards. However, they are also the most expensive.
Stock mouth guards — These are inexpensive and come pre-formed, ready to wear. Unfortunately, they often don’t fit very well. They can be bulky and may make breathing and talking difficult.

Cases in Corporate Ethics 4.3: This case discusses the rationale behind doling out dividends to shareholders at the cost of liquidity and financial robustness. It has always been hotly discussed in financial circles what the ideal strategy is for a firm that is facing cash crunch. Dividend payout, on the one hand, is an indirect indicator of performance for most of the stakeholders in a firm.

(Acts 11:1-18a; 10/25/15) Introduction: A key idea in today’s Sunday School material is Peter defends his ministry, before those in Jerusalem. Prayerfully, we will be challenged to obey God and work through our conflicts with one another, in a godly way.
I. Objection to Gentiles. In our Sunday School material the word was out that Gentiles were being saved. When Peter went to Jerusalem to report on his experiences, there were some circumcised believers. They criticized Peter, because he broke the tradition regarding there being no interaction with the uncircumcised.
-Spreading the Gospel, instead of gossip. Notice in vs. 1 how quickly the word spread. It is sad to see how quickly gossip spreads today and how slow good news spreads. Let’s work on being those who spread good news.
We should be telling people about what God is doing in our personal lives, in our church, and in our family.
- Criticizing. Notice in vs. 2 that there were those who criticized Peter’s ministry, primarily because they did not understand it. We should learn from the mistakes of those in the Sunday School material.
We should learn to understand, before we cast our condemnation or endorsement. Quick unfounded judgments often are wrong judgments that lead to discord among believers.
The devil loves for this to be the case, but God wants us to work on being more prudent and loving towards one another. Let’s work on withholding our judgments, until we understand the issues at hand.
II. Consideration of Evidence. Peter recounts what happened. He talks about how he saw a vision, while he was praying. In our Sunday School material the Spirit urged him to go with the men at his door. He and other men went to Cornelius’ house. There the Spirit fell on the listeners, as He did in Jerusalem.
-Telling the story. Notice in vs. 4 that Peter shared the whole story. There are times when the best thing to do is tell people what happened, starting at the beginning. We cannot assume that those who have not experienced what we experienced understand what is going on.
“Yes” there are times when people don’t listen or they listen with a mind to simply argue (see II Tim. 2:16). But there are also times when telling the story can help those who have ears to hear. Let’s work on discerning when to explain what is going on.
- Prayerful flexibility. Notice in vss. 5-10 that Peter prayerfully allowed God to change Him. First, we need to work on our prayer lives. We should have regular times to pray (i.e., adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication [inc. intercession]), and we should pray when special situations come along.
Second, our greatest desire should be to do God’s will. God’s will for us today may be different than it was yesterday, and it may be contrary to what we prefer.
However, God’s way is best. We should pay special attention to what God is calling us to do to help people get right with Him and to grow in Him. Let’s work on being prayerfully open to what God would have for us to do.
- Sendable men. Notice in vs. 11 of our Sunday School material that there were some sendable men. There is such a need for men who have the character, competencies, and chemistry needed to aid the advancement of God’s work.
Some are very competent but don’t have enough humility in their character to be sent. Some have the character but not the competency. And then some lack the chemistry - the ability to get along with the one who is sending and the ones they are being sent to.
Let’s work on supporting our men becoming more sendable. Think about how we need especially our men ministries to help send our men to their families and our communities to be godly influences.
- Telling the tree by the fruit. Notice in vs. 17 that we can tell the tree by the fruit that it bears, not by our stereotypes. The Gentiles bore the fruit of being saved, in spite of the stereotypes associated with being a Gentile.
In like manner, we need to work on discerning the fruit of others and bearing fruit ourselves. Stereotypes can be so inaccurate. Let’s work on responding to the fruit that we see and bearing the fruit that God is calling us to bear.
A good way of thinking about the “speaking in tongues” found in our Sunday School material is to think of it as confirmation that the same Holy Spirit who fell on those in Jerusalem has now fallen on those in Cornelius’ house.
We should remember that someone could understand what was being said (it was not simply jibberish). We should not think that we need to speak in a foreign tongue, in order to be saved.
III. Acceptance of Gentiles. Those who heard Peter’s account are noted for first of all listening. After they listened, they had no objections. And they are noted for praising God.
- Listening, trusting, and praising. Notice in vs. 18a of our Sunday School material that the people listened; with apparent faith in God, they raised no more objections; and they praised the Lord. In like manner, our families and churches would be so much further along, if we spent more time listening.
We cannot listen and talk at the same time. We could be so much further along, if we learn how to trust God. There are some questions that will only be answered by the Lord (i.e., we will understand it better by and by).
And we would be further along, if we give God more praise. Praise Him for what He has done, is doing, and what you are trusting Him to do. Let’s work on listening, trusting, and praising God.
Conclusion: Let’s work on obeying God and working through our conflicts with one another, in a godly way. God has much for those who obey His will.

This series is based loosely off of the Iceberg theory, suggesting deep subconscious thoughts, dreaming, and ego in each piece. These pieces are not just jewelry but wearable sculptures with a concept. Made to remind us of feelings and fantasies rather than literal images. I chose specific metals, finishes, and stones to incorporate their energies to theses ideas.

I had a blast last week joining the hosts of my favorite new podcast: Seven Ages Audio Journal. Like the Tusk, veteran podcaster Micah Hanks and his science bros Jason Pentrail and James Waldo attempt the difficult balance between hard science, responsible speculation and perhaps some entertainment. I think they recognized me as a “fellow traveler” in this regard, and were kind to invite me on as a non-PhD generalist researcher of the Younger Dryas Event.
But I don’t expect my exclusivity with this podcast to last very long. The Seven Ages team is spending very significant amounts of time in the field exploring sites with the primary, academic Younger Dryas impact researchers. On recent trips to South Carolina they joined Chris Moore and Al Goodyear at their archeological sites and received a first hand look at the relevant evidence, as well being in touch with and well briefed on latest developments by Dr. James Kennett. We can expect Moore, Goodyear, and others from our team to appear over time on Seven Ages. I cant wait.
Please take a listen and hopefully you will join the Tusk as a fan of this creative audio endeavor exploring our obscure corner of interest. You will be well rewarded by Seven Ages’ hard work and professional approach to the subject matter.

Development of Bell Helicopter’s 525 Relentless super-medium-class helicopter, with a roomy cabin popular with corporate and VIP travelers, has been delayed since a test flight ended in tragedy in July 2016 in Texas, when the aircraft was destroyed and two test pilots were killed. The National Transportation Safety Board hasn’t yet completed its investigation of the accident, but Bell says it expects to resume flight tests with two other aircraft “within several months.” Meanwhile, Bell says it has been working with the NTSB, and the investigation has focused “on a sequence of events for which corrective actions are being implemented.” Further details await the NTSB’s report at the conclusion of its investigation.
The Relentless will be the most spacious commercial helicopter developed by Bell, with an 88-square-foot cabin that can hold up to 20 passengers (and one or two flight crew members). A rotor-hub vibration eliminator system helps deliver a best-in-class ride, the company says, while minimizing noise. Huge panoramic windows provide stunning views. Modular seating, stowable flat-screen monitors, table options, cabinets, coolers, custom carpet, and window-tint choices provide plenty of versatility for travelers to design their own bespoke environment for traveling. Handcrafted leather upholstery adds comfort. A custom MAGnificient interior by Mecaer Aviation Group is available, providing an ergonomic design with a blend of style and technology that maximizes both functionality and luxury.
