Quote: I love the sound of stainless steel on raw flesh. Yes!!!
Choi was originally an assassin sent to kill Kim Kaphwan. Kim caught Choi & beat him up pretty badly, & is apparently forcing Choi to stick around until he cleans up his act. Apparently if they do well in the King of Fighters tournament, Kim will let Choi leave. I'm not quite sure why he's still hanging around, but I reckon he's pretty afraid of Kim. As far as playing Choi goes, in the video game he's the most annoying character I've ever seen. he's INSANELY fast, and can do as much or more damage than the 'big' characters. Plus, he's so short most characters have to duck to hit him at all. Pretty much, he plays alot like Rolento, well, other than the short bit. | 2019-04-19T15:04:59 | http://ptc075.tripod.com/sf/choi.htm |

By pure chance (we never notice coincidences when they don’t happen) his latest post mentions that he weathers his scenery, to produce subtle variation in tone, and take off the plastic look. As you can see, this approach to colour as part of the finescale approach is well worth the effort.

This is a common comment at exhibitions, almost as common as asking if it is EM or P4!
I have a theory why S is perceived as “the right size”, and it also applies to Gauge 1 in its (proper) 1:32 format. The human eye with the help of the brain measures things via angular displacement, binocular stereoscopy and perspective and as with standard geometry is pretty good at halving angles. If you take a half, and halve it, and halve it, and halve it, you have 1/32nd of your starting point: do it once more, and it is 1/64th of the original. It therefore “fits” just right into the mind’s eye. It’s only a hunch, but there is probably a PhD thesis that could come out of it! Incidentally, this also makes the scale ideally suited to the modern computational era: two to the power 6 is 64, or 100000 in binary….
So, the fact that it suits the eye is probably why people ask if it is EM or P4 – in the mind’s eye, this is the size their 4mm scale should be!

Are you a Beatrix Potter fan? Who isn’t right? Well, you’ve come to the right place! The Lake District was Beatrix Potter’s home and biggest inspiration for much of her life. Beatrix Potter did some amazing things in her lifetime, both for the local Lake District communities she lived in, and for generations of children all over the world. She is still remembered and much celebrated today, and a visit to the Lake District is not complete without a pilgrimage to one of the many Beatrix Potter attractions to be found here.
Beatrix Potter was born in London in 1866, and was actually christened Helen Beatrix Potter.
Beatrix Potter bought Hill top as her first Lake District residence in 1905, with the proceeds from her first books. Bequeathed to the National Trust on her death, Beatrix Potter made them promise to keep it exactly how it was, furniture and all- a visit today is like step back in time.
A themed Beatrix Potter attraction in the heart of Bowness. Including gardens; interactive displays; sights and sounds of the countryside, and a gift shop, the Word of Beatrix Potter is a great day out for the kids as well as the adults.
A National Trust property with connections to Beatrix Potter, once being the site of her solicitor husband’s office. The Gallery today host annual exhibitions- the most recent being “The Right Sort of Woman”, celebrating her position as a strong and influential woman in the Cumbrian community. As well as a collection of her works and belongings, the gallery often hosts book readings and other events.
Discover Wray Castle, standing tall on the shores of Lake Windermere. This National Trust Property is home to the Peter Rabbit Adventure, a fantastic day out for families with young children. Beatrix Potter spent family holidays at Wray Castle when she was a teen, and her legacy lives on through the interactive Peter Rabbit Adventure.
In 1934 Beatrix Potter gifted many of her natural illustrations to the Armitt museum, having been a member since 1913. There is a dedicated Beatrix Potter exhibition area in the Armitt, with her desk laid out just as she would have had it, as well as a lovely collection of her illustrated works. | 2019-04-19T10:30:50 | https://www.daleheadhall.co.uk/blog/on-the-trail-of-beatrix-potter |

Tonight the guys are answering more questions.
Brandi posted: My boyfriend and I were pondering this last night, so I thought I would ask in The Reloading Room. Let’s say you've chosen a bullet and powder and gone through all the steps in varying charge and seating depth, only to come away with a lot of unimpressive groups. At that point, do you look at changing powder or changing the bullet? I would assume the latter, but I was curious about others' experiences and if putting a different powder under a given bullet could notably improve its performance at similar velocities.
Has anyone loaded a 308 Win load specifically for wolf hunting? What bullet did you choose?
Aaron posted in The Reloading Room: So I'm going to be building a new ar sooner or later the barrel is going to be 18.6” long with 1/8 twist just wondering your thoughts on bullet weight.
Anthony posted in The Reloading Room: For hog hunting in dense timber which do you feel has the most potential and is either significantly more expensive to load for, 45-70 or 20ga sabot? I'm thinking of getting a TC Encore if that helps. Thanks for any help for input.
Alan posted in Reloading Podcast Group: Listening to episode 227 (shotshell) tonight in the truck. Someone asked about the gas cylinder on the Hornady 366 and MEC 9000g presses. It's purpose is to smooth out shell plate rotation, not to control operating speed. I've got a 12ga 366 (1987) and a 2001 20ga 9000g. At high production rates, shot can fly out of the hulls on the 366. Although I haven't run the 9000g fast enough to worry about losing shot out of the hulls, i can see the difference the gas assist makes.
Devin posted in The Reloading Room: My favorite load for my tikka t3 7mm rem mag was 52 grains of imr 4064 under a 150 grain sierra matchking hollow point. I made about 150 rounds! Great groups that touch holes at 100 yards...but my problem is that I just learned that those bullets are not suitable for hunting! I don't know what to do now! | 2019-04-18T11:20:54 | https://firearmsradio.tv/reloading-podcast/229 |
Over a long period of time, your roof shingles can become missing or broken. This can be caused by age and also \ weather conditions. If you are noticing that your roof shingles aren't in good condition or are missing take the time to have a professional come out and inspect your roof. Missing and broken shingles can lead to a leaky roof which will cause interior house damage if left unrepaired.
If you notice green or white patches on your roof when viewing it from afar, this is a sign that mold and mildew are present. You may not need a roof replacement at this stage, but if you allow it to continue, a roof replacement will be needed. If you're seeing signs of mold and mildew growth, it's important to have a roofing professional provide maintenance services.
If you have noticeable bubbles in your wallpaper where you didn’t have them before, that’s a sign that you may need roof maintenance services. Bubbles in the wallpaper occur when moisture becomes trapped inside the walls of the home. This moisture likely came all the way from your rooftop, where rain was allowed to come in. This is a bad condition, because when water gets trapped in the walls, it can lead to mold growth. If you see bubbles in the wallpaper, have a roofing professional come out and inspect your roof right away.
If you're looking for roof maintenance services and are looking for a professional property restoration company, contact MGM Restoration Inc today. | 2019-04-20T19:17:12 | https://www.mgmrestoration.com/news/Signs-You-Need-Roof-Maintenance-Services-_AE13.html |

A solid & sophisticated Main Character Throughline anchors this smart indie.
Smart and sophisticated, this indie crime comedy/drama charms as it hustles its way through a solid and effective narrative. Written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, Dope deftly tells the personal story of Malcom Adekanbi (Shameik Moore) against the backdrop of drug trafficking in “The Bottoms” section of Inglewood, California. While the narrative sputters and slows somewhere in the middle, the film ends with such a rousing and emotionally fulfilling ending that one can’t help but embrace this wonderful work of art.
Complete stories consist of four Throughlines: Main Character, Overall Story, Influence Character, and Relationship Story. Malcom is the Main Character and experiences personal conflict through his status as the child of a single-parent household and a 90s hip-hop afficionado “geek” stuck deep within modern day hood culture (Main Character Throughline of Situation). Drug trafficking—a matter of concern to everyone involved in this story—is the subject matter of the Overall Story Throughline. Some pursue the means by which to sell illegal drugs, others seek to prevent others from doing the same—both through violent and dangerous means (Overall Story Throughline of Activity).
Both Overall Story and Main Character Throughline suffer from a pessimistic process of determining certainty: everyone knows where they stand and what options they have for surviving (Main Character Problem of Deduction & Overall Story Problem of Deduction). When Malcom’s essay on “Finding Ice Cube’s Good Day” is met with resistance, the young boy cries foul at the hint of racial and societal stereotyping (Main Character Symptom of Certainty). Deducing without a second thought as to what his guidance counselor suggests, Malcom responds with the positive drive to seek out his true potential as a Harvard undergrad (Main Character Response of Potentiality).
Likewise drug-traffickers Dom and Austin Jacoby (A$AP Rocky and Roger Guenveur Smith) allow their deductive thoughts of reasoning lead them to warn of the “slippery slope” awaiting those who allow transgressions to go unanswered (Overall Story Symptom of Reduction). As Protagonist in the Overall Story, Malcom answers the call by setting up his own shop (Overall Story Response of Production) as he strives to learn all he can about the drug trade (Overall Story Goal of Learning).
Lisa Hayes (Kimberly Elise) steps in and provides the alternative prospective to Malcom’s point-of-view, satisfying the role of Influence Character. Driven to assess the boys she meets at face-value (Influence Character Problem of Evaluation) her thoughtful appraisal and apparent attraction to “complicated” men challenges Malcom to change his ways (Influence Character Unique Ability of Appraisal and Influence Character Concern of Contemplation ).
Unfortunately, with the change of the 2nd structural Act into the 3rd (often referred to as the Midpoint) Lisa’s influence disappears…and with it, the emotional heart of the story that rests within the Relationship Story Throughline. Complete stories require a relationship between Main Character and Influence Character—in this case, a budding romance between Malcom and Lisa that centers around the notion that they could even be together (Relationship Story Concern of Conceiving an Idea). As the 2nd Overall Story Signpost wraps up its examination of Learning with the revelation of Austin Jacoby’s true role in running his “Boy’s Club” (Overall Story Signpost 2 of Learning) and flows into high-school drug trafficking (Overall Story Signpost 3 of Doing), the film loses its emotional center—and risks alienating the audience.
The film thankfully finds its way back with the return of Lisa—a reacquaintance that eventually pushes Malcom into adopting a new perspective (Main Character Resolve Changed). Summed up with Malcom’s brilliant monologue of “re-introducing” himself, the boy posits two versions of himself—the geek everyone knows and the entrepreneur driven to do whatever it takes to survive. This “complicated” and matured perspective allows Malcom to confidently infer racisim on the part of the Harvard admissions status—would they ask why he would want to go if they didn’t know he was black? (Main Character Solution of Induction).
This brilliant ending sequence cannot be underestimated, for without it the film would have been lost in the logistical concerns of teenagers selling drugs. The disappearance of the Relationship Story Throughline results in a cold and dispassionate second half that loses the warmth and charm of the first. Malcom’s monologue and eventual loss of angst (Story Judgment of Good) grounds the film.
Many films fail to effectively develop a Relationship Story Throughline. Dope at least introduces this relationship and develops it enough to center and balance the narrative. This is a supremely inventive and admirable narrative; spare no effort to make it a part of your life’s experience. | 2019-04-25T17:49:12 | https://narrativefirst.com/analysis/dope |
I walked under this sign so when I saw what it said, I had someone take my picture! Yup, that’s me: Tia Anita! If you speak Spanish you know it means Aunt Anita.
Paraguay is in the middle of South America. It borders between Brazil, Argentina and Bolivia. It’s a great place to visit but it’s kind of looked down upon by the other SA countries…so unfair.
Pictures 3 & 4 are of the capitol city of Asuncion. This is where part of our family was living and working.
Picture 5 is looking down on the slum district.
Picture 6 is of Ted beside the Land Rover he drove while they lived there. Traffic is terrific! Ted is a good driver and managed to navigate very well. Here’s one example: stop signs and traffic lights are only suggestions!
Picture 7 is the mission house where we stayed for part of our time there.
Our trip to Paraguay was a delightful, unexpected journey for me. I just never expected to go to South America! If I did ever go I probably would have gone to Brazil or Colombia. But here again as with Malaysia, our son, Ted, and daughter-in-law moved to Paraguay! We wanted and needed to see where they were living! I couldn’t picture them is my mind because of my ignorance of Paraguay! They were there for two years and then my parents went down for six months! So we joined a group that was going as a work team. It was a good fit.
Picture 8 The school where they taught.
Picture 9 Inside the school courtyard. Denise taught elementary school. Ted taught high school classes and was over-taking the care of the buildings and grounds. He had a crew under him. Ted learned to speak the Guarani language which is what the Guarani Indians spoke. My dad taught a high school class of journalism and my mother was librarian.
Picture 10 I kept hearing a parrot! I finally went for a walk and found this parrot in a back yard!
Picture 11 These men made a typical scene for me to capture. Afternoons were so scorching hot that everyone took two hours to do nothing. Even stores were closed during this time. These men gathered for a time of relaxing and drinking tea. It was a very very strong tea.
Picture 12. A man drawing water from a well.
Picture 13. Inside a neighborhood store.
Picture 14. Inside another neighborhood store.
Picture 15. Downtown at a meat market!
Picture 16. Downtown on a street among shoppers.
Picture 17. A Guarani Indian woman selling her wares. I bought from her!
Picture 18. Dawn over Paraguay. This sunrise picture I took from our airplane.
Picture19 is the city of Asuncion taken from our plane. We landed at 5:00 AM.
Pictures 20 & 21 are of the beautiful Falls de Iguazu! These falls border Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. They are the most beautiful falls I’ve ever seen!

I went back last August for the first time, and I know I will be back many more times! Glad to see you enjoyed yourselves there, Paraguay needs more good reviews like this one!

November is synonymous with the grand entrance of Beaujolais Nouveau. This light, almost transparent red is generally aged only seven to nine weeks and is joyfully consumed within a month of its release. In all the hype, the classic Beaujolais from a 35-mile corridor north of Lyon, is often overlooked. Made from the gamay grape, these wines are meant to be enjoyed after a ripening of years.
The hand-harvested gamay grapes that went into this sustainably produced wine were grown on granite soils, which explains the mineral note that creeps in to accompany hints of blackberry and raspberry. Pair it with a fresh fruit tart or a mild curry.
A woodsy magenta, this cru has a lively hint of white pepper coupled with the distinct flavor of grapes, and medium acidity. The fruit was harvested from 30- to 40-year-old vines, and aged in old oak. Baked salmon sprinkled with fresh fennel seeds is an excellent foil.
Subtle and sweet, this bottle is reminiscent of pastry on the nose. With a depth and complexity lent by its years, this 2006 vintage brings layers of character (think ancient stone or brick) to the palate. Pair it with a rib eye or classic burger.
Crafted from 40 plus-year-old vines, this cru is aged for nine months, yielding hints of spices, coupled with notes of red fruits and berries.
A Lyonnaise sausage would be a perfect dish to accompany this delightful bottle.
Hinting of stables, with leather and hay overtures, this old vine cuvée has notes of tomato and sunshine. Pair it with lighter meats such as pork or turkey, a spicy Cajun gumbo, or Mediterranean dishes. | 2019-04-21T00:48:11 | https://wncmagazine.com/feature/bounteous_beaujolais |
A very old European apple variety, widely grown in the 17th and 18th centuries and therefore worth trying simply for the historical interest.
Golden Reinette also looks attractive - but we don't think the flavor is anything special, although it is perfectly acceptable.
Like many old varieties Golden Reinette is resistant to the apple disease scab.
In Italy this apple is known as Renetta, derivating is name from the French word "Reine", that is "Queen", and its origin from the Loira Valley. Anyway, it is widely believed that every land has its own particular variety of this apple, still recognisable as a "renetta", but different enough in taste and other properties for the layman to tell, and for the expert to know from it comes from, as if were a wine, or a cheese. It is cultivated particularly in the regions of Val d'Aosta, Piedmont and Alto Adige (or Sud Tirol, as a large part of the inhabitants like to call it). We use it mostly cooked: baked with or without sugar and/or lemon, in the filling of tarts and strudels, or even fried in slices covered with fritter batter. It is believed healthier than most apples if eaten fresh, though isn't very tasty. It is harvested in September, and can be stored for months. In the process it refines its taste from sour to sweet. Being a Tolkien devotee, I like to believe that the apples offered in Minas Tirith to Pippin, "the last of the winter store, wrinkled but sound and sweet", were Reinettes.
It's a very complicated story. If you search for the Golden Reinette in fruitdescriptions, you'll find the name Wijker Pippeling(or Orleans Reinett), a good winter-apple with brownish red flush, nutty flavour. First described as Pomme Madame in "Pomologia"from J.H. Knoop, 1758) Not to be compared with Wyken Pippin, which is a completely other, greenyellow variety from GB. Is this Golden Reinette aka Wijker Pippeling the parent of the Laxton Superb, or is this Wyken Pippin? Kasseler Reinette is also called GoldenReinette in the Netherlands, but this is another sort. Who helps me out here? I think this is a very interesting sort!
Where can I get this variety of apple in the USA?
A little bit of help for non Niederlandse speakers:– G D is not same as Goudreinet AKA Belle de boskoop which is the best apple for apple puré or apple tart filling.
Fine apple for baking and cooking. In the Netherland still the most used for apple pie. Not used fresh. | 2019-04-21T20:44:54 | https://www.orangepippin.com/varieties/apples/golden-reinette |

Nine-times World Rally champion Sebastien Loeb has conquered the 4.3km high Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to set an all-time record that many believe will never be beaten.
Loeb steered his insanely powerful 643kW Peugeot 208 T16 to victory at the legendary mountain race in Colorado, USA, with a time of 8 minutes 13 seconds, shattering Rhys Mille's previous 2012 record by 1 minute 33 seconds - a country mile in motorsport terms.
Loeb hammered up the 156 turn, 20km course at an average speed of 140km/h in perfect sunny conditions, while Rhys Millen came in second place with an average speed of 127km/h.
Despite beating his own record by a whopping 44 seconds, Millen was still 49 seconds off Loeb's pace, putting Peugeot's achievement in perspective.
Third placed Jean-Philippe Dayraut (also a Frenchman) was a further 40 seconds behind Mille's turbocharged V6 Hyundai Genesis Coupe race car. Dayraut drove his MINI Country powered by a Nissan GT-R twin-turbo V6 across the finish line in 9.42.
Only two days earlier, Millen told motoring.com.au "If they [Peugeot] have a good run on Sunday, I don’t think you'll ever see that record fall again."
After his record-breaking win, Loeb said he "felt really good in the car" and "pushed it hard from the start to the finish".
The Frenchman has been in Colorado Springs (where the event is held) for four weeks prior to the race, driving the public road course everyday to give himself the best chance of winning.
"I made no mistakes, and I felt the race was really good," said the French rally ace.
The Peugeot 208 T16 he drove to victory is a custom made race car that utilises several parts from its Le Mans race program, and is believed to have cost several million dollars to build. It follows in the footsteps of the Peugeot 405 T16 that Finn Ari Vatanen raced to victory in the 1989 Pikes Peak hill climb.
"To drive a car like this and race up here is what makes this special," said Loeb of the demonic Peugeot 208, which accelerates from 0-100km/h faster than an F1 car.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb winds its way from 2862 metres (9390ft) to an astonishing 4300 metres (14,110ft) high finish line at the mountai's summit, making it one of the highest races on the planet.
Apart from the winding road that has caught many of the more than 2000 drivers off guard since the race started in 1916, the event is unique for its variety of vehicles. Everything from quads, to motorcycles, trucks, open-wheelers, vintage cars and even electric vehicles are fielded in the 'race to the clouds'.
While Hyundai was beaten in the headline 'unlimited' class by a resolute Peugeot, the Korean car maker won the 'time attack' class, as Paul Dallenbach set a new category record time of 9.46 in his turbocharged Genesis Coupe.
Other winners included Pikes Peak favourite Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, who stole victory from a pair of determined Mitsubishi MiEV Evo II cars in the 'electric' class for his ninth win in the event.
While the electric Mitsubishi race car's qualified in first and second place earlier in the week, Tajima's time of 9.46 in his E-RUNNER race car handed him victory after rain-clouds drenched the track. It also marked a major milestone for the class -- the first electric race car to crack the nine minute mark.
Interestingly, the fastest motorcycle was an electric bike, the Lightning Electric SuperBike, with Carlin Dunne recording a time of 10:00 flat.
Many records were broken at Pikes Peak in 2013 due in large part to the track being fully sealed for the first time. In the past there have been gravel sections.
The question asked by many ecstatic spectators at the event was not whether Peugeot would return to defend its near-unbeatable record in 2014, but whether it needed to.

UNHCR, the United Nations' refugee agency, protects and assists people forced to flee from their homes. For this work tobe sustainable the UNHCR is dependent on private individuals to provide funding, ideally by becoming monthly donors. For a long time the strategy was toenrol new monthly donors by telephoning people and informing them about the agency's work. Willing sponsors were then sent a form, which they had to fill in and return tocomplete the registration process. Unfortunately, many forms were never returned and UNHCR lost two thirds of the prospects who had been contacted by phone.
With the new app 98 % of calls result in the registration of new monthly donors.
HiQ was commissioned to help UNHCR develop a new solution to simplify the process of registering monthly donors. The assignment also included producing a smarter solution to replace the binders, pens and papers traditionally used by UNHCR's face-to-face recruiters on city streets.
HiQ developed a new application that enables UNHCR to record oral agreements. Now donors can register to pay a monthly contribution by direct debit on completion of the phone call. The app also makes it easier to compile statistics based on the phone calls made. UNHCR can use the data to make future fundraising campaigns more effective.
Today 98 percent of UNHCR's calls result in new monthly donors. This is a huge improvement compared with the previous form-filling solution that led to the loss of two thirds of prospective donors. HiQ also used the opportunity to help UNHCR digitise face-to-face recruitment. Instead of pre-printed forms and binders, recruiters now have tablet computers that can swiftly download relevant information about current refugee crises. This new, more effective recruitment process saves time and reduces environmental impact. And, best of all, it means that more people in need can be given the help they require. | 2019-04-24T08:38:58 | https://www.hiq.se/en/cases/unhcr/ |
Woah, this book sounds like a magic fest. I haven't read THE STRANGE AND BEAUTIFUL SORROWS OF AVA LAVENDER, but I've heard great things about it, and I liked the first chapter when I read it. I'm not a big fantasy reader, but I hope I will enjoy this one.

The Blackburn women are cursed. Ever since the extraordinary witch Rona Blackburn landed on Anathema Island centuries ago and was shunned by the eight "original" settlers, Blackburn witches have been doomed to carry out a brief whirlwind affair with a descendant of the Original Eight. The vengeful curse, however, had unintended side effects: it diluted the Blackburns' supernatural powers.
That's perfectly all right with seventeen-year-old Nor Blackburn. All she wants is a quiet, unremarkable life—her powers are blissfully unexceptional, her love life pretty much nonexistent. Nor hopes the curse has played itself out through enough generations that she'll finally be spared the drama. But when a mysterious book comes out promising to cast any spell for the right price, Nor senses a dark storm headed straight for Anathema—and straight for her.
In her second novel, Leslye Walton spins a dark, mesmerizing tale of a girl stumbling along the path toward self-acceptance and first love, even as the Price Guide's malevolent author—Nor's own mother—looms and threatens to strangle any hope for happiness.
I haven't heard of this one yet! It does sound very good. Happy New Year! | 2019-04-26T00:02:05 | http://thereaderlines.blogspot.com/2017/12/whats-new-price-guide-to-occult-by.html |

Defenceman Vojtech Budik has a knack for game-winning goals.
One night after potting the winner off of a rebound, Budik was the set-up man Saturday night against the Medicine Hat Tigers.
Budik found a waiting Parker Kelly on Tigers goalie Michael Bullion’s doorstep; he passed the puck across the Tigers’ slot area to Kelly, who hauled it in, skated around Bullion at the edge of the crease, and then buried the black rubber into the gaping net.
Kelly’s third-period goal, his third of the season, proved the winner as the Prince Albert Raiders beat the Tigers 4-2 at the Art Hauser Centre, improving their record to 2-2-0-0.
Budik was skating with the puck at the top of the Tigers’ circle on Bullion’s right side. The Czech defender waited just long enough to draw Bullion out to the perimeter of his crease, when he snapped the puck to his teammate.
Sporting their Don Cherry-themed, tartan-plaid jerseys with all-black pants and socks, the Raiders kept the pressure on the Tigers for most of the game, firing 36 shots at Bullion and creating several breakaway and odd-man rush opportunities.
Raiders’ goalie Curtis Meger got his first WHL start in net for the club, and he was solid throughout the game.
The 19-year-old rookie turned aside 30 of 32 Tigers’ shots.
“In our end we kept shots to the outside, and I was seeing the puck well, so it resulted in a win,” Meger said.
He noted how quickly the pace of the game went, especially considering the Tigers’ speed.
“(They’re) a really fast team coming down the ice off the rush. They like to make plays, so I had to be ready for that,” he said.
Meger stood tall in the dying two minutes of the game when Medicine Hat, down 3-2, pulled Bullion in favour of gaining the extra attacker in the Raiders’ zone.
Through a flurry of sticks, deflected shots and blocked shots the Raiders goalie stopped all the pucks thrown his way, tallying 12 saves in the period.
“You have to trust your (defence) at all times, but at the same time you have to always know where guys are … you have to fight to see the puck, but I felt I did that well tonight,” he said.
At the end of the first period, the score was tied 1-1, with the Raiders creating most of the momentum by keeping the puck in the Tigers zone for a majority of the period.
The frame included an early four-minute penalty kill for the Raiders, who managed to kill off the Tigers’ powerplay and allow only two Tigers’ shots on net.
After Gary Haden scored for the Tigers at 14:30, Cole Fonstad responded with a floater of a shot that fooled Bullion, who lost sight of the puck, and found the back of the Tigers’ net.
The ice was tilted a little more towards the Raiders’ net in the second period: Medicine Hat upped its tempo through parts of the frame, eventually scoring the go-ahead goal, courtesy Max Gerlach on the power play at 15:50.
Not to be outdone, Raiders’ 20-year-old Devon Skoleski evened the score at 2-2, ten seconds before the period expired.
As the puck was bouncing to the left of Bullion and Tigers defenders were trying to corral it, Skoleski made a swiping dive at the puck, knocking it through Bullion’s legs and effectively swinging momentum back to his side.
“I knew there wasn’t much time left, so I just thought ‘drive the net’ and luckily the puck popped out, and I just dove and got it,” he said.
Once the third period began, the Raiders were firmly in control for the rest of the game, creating several chances and near-goals, leading up to the Budik-to-Kelly score, which Max Martin also assisted on.
With 3.7 seconds to go in the game, captain Curtis Miske buried the insurance goal on the the Tigers’ empty net.
The Raiders wore the Grapes-themed jerseys as part of a WHL-wide charity drive for organ donation. The team raised more than $10,000 through auctioning off the sweaters online and at the game.
The team has no games over the next five days, after which it’ll head to Alberta for games against the Lethbridge Hurricanes (2-2-0-0) on Friday and a rematch with the Tigers (2-2-0-0) on Saturday. | 2019-04-19T22:20:58 | https://paherald.sk.ca/2017/10/01/kellys-goal-pushes-raiders-past-tigers/ |

If you know how much you can expect to receive if you trade in your current vehicle, you can get a good idea on what kind of down payment you can make on another car. Hennessy Mazda always encourages buyers to use their current vehicle as a trade in, as it also can affect vehicle financing.

The three major ADR approaches namely arbitration, mediation, conciliation are each described in terms of their processes, procedures and appropriate uses. The course will address the role of ethics in the use of ADR. It will also consider how to establish an ADR program your work environment and how to build ADR language into legal and business contracts.
This course aims to develop students’ knowledge and understanding of alternative dispute resolution as it is written and enforced. Students will learn how to justify the use of ADR as a means of conflict resolution, evaluate dispute situations to determine if ADR is an appropriate means of resolution and select the appropriate ADR approach for a particular situation. At the end of the programme you will be able to describe the steps required to set up a successful ADR program in the work environment and the ethical issues that pertain to ADR.
To be awarded the Diploma in Alternative Dispute Resolution, a student will be required to complete a written assignment (60%) and a simulated mediation (40%).

Students will examine the key components of each approach, discussing advantages and disadvantages for each area. Based on the knowledge received, they will learn to evaluate if Alternative Dispute Resolution is an appropriate means of resolution for their particular situation and how to select the suitable approach. Following completion of the course, students will have an understanding of how to establish a successful Alternative Dispute Resolution programme within a working environment and the ethical issues that align themselves with its implementation.
The Diploma in Alternative Dispute Resolution will add valuable skills to professionals in a broad range of sectors.

River North is a neighborhood in the Near North Side community area of Chicago, Illinois. It is bound by Michigan Avenue to the east, Chicago Avenue to the north, and the Chicago River to the south and west.
River North previously was named Smokey Hollow around the turn of the 20th century due to the many factories and forges in the area. The smoke was often so thick that sunlight was blocked. At the time Smokey Hollow was a major transportation hub with railroad tracks linking the ports along the Chicago River with the surrounding areas. The Merchandise Mart still has railroad tracks underneath the building. Massive coal bins were throughout the neighborhood both bringing coal into the area from ships and storage for all the ships. The Merchandise Mart was a major storage warehouse for goods. Montgomery Ward had a major transportation and storage facility in River North.
Little Sicily in Chicago was also located in River North. The first Italian Roman Catholic Church in Chicago was Assumption on Illinois Street, with a mandate to be the Parish for all Italians from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River. Later Sicilians began to move north from the immediate vicinity of Assumption and began to form their own Parishes north. Italians whose family roots were from other parts of Italy tended to move west along Grand Street and formed Parishes west of Assumption.
The River North neighborhood got its name from Chicago real estate developer Albert Friedman (chief executive of Friedman Properties Ltd.), who in 1974 started to buy, restore and build commercial property in the southeast sector. Much of the area was skid row at the time, so in an effort to attract tenants Friedman started calling the area "River North". Within a few years, Friedman found photographers, ad agencies and art galleries willing to rent the low cost space and coalesce into what is now the The River North Gallery District, which has the largest concentration of art galleries in the United States outside of Manhattan. Along with hundreds of art galleries, the area holds many bars, dance clubs, popular restaurants, and entertainment venues. Between the year 2000 and 2010, the population in the four census tracts covering River North increased by an average of nearly 82%, boosting population from 9,835 in 2000 to 17,892 in 2010.
Kingsbury Park, an area of newly built residential high-rises surrounding Montgomery Ward Park, at Erie Street and the Chicago River.
River North is serviced by four "L" train stations: the above-ground Chicago-Brown and Merchandise Mart-Brown stations and the below-ground Chicago-Red and Grand-Red stations. | 2019-04-22T00:03:09 | https://www.exitsellschicago.com/community/area/River%20North/ |
Fallout 3: Operation Anchorage DLC.
It all starts with an overheard radio transmission and develops from there, before you know it you are drawn into a very compelling piece of DLC. This expansion is based around the story of the Brotherhood of Steel Outcasts and takes place in a part of the map which was previously inaccessible in the main game. The Outcastshave a problem and it turns out that you are uniquely positioned to help them. Operation Anchorage takes place in a simulation of a past battle, so although the main game has gone to great lengths to create a bleak solitary experience, this DLC allows you to experience the hustle and bustle of a snowy battlefield.
By using Anchorage as a location it’s allowed Bethesda to create a location which looks like nothing else in the rest of the game. This dramatic change in location adds massively to the appeal of this expansion and it’s testament to the strength of character in the main game that Anchorage doesn’t feel out of place. The game never leaves behind its unique sense of humour and you are constantly reminded, through bits of scenery or overheard conversations, how you are still firmly in the Fallout universe.
A man could lose his bearings in weather like this.
As this is a simulation you’ve no longer got access to any of your inventory items, all you are given is a basic gun and some grenades. You are initially tasked with completing a one man infiltration mission and once you’ve completed this it’s on to some basic, yet endearing, squad based missions. By effectively removing your inventory the game starts to feel surprisingly like a by the numbers World War II shooter, and this feeling is further strengthened by the different objectives you are given and the type of enemies you face.
You will come across some unique weapons and items during Operation Anchorage and, through a nice little conceit, you are able to use these items throughout the rest of the main game. On top of these new items you also get a powerful suit of armour and you can find a unique Perk, so for added content this DLC offers a fair bit for the price of 800MSP. If you were to play this through in one sitting you would be able to fully complete it in around 4 hours, less if you run through it, so for duration it’s not amazingly long, but it manages to cram every moment with brilliant little surprises or memorable set pieces. One word of warning though, if you play this DLC with a high level end character you may well be disappointed as it is short, and some of the kit you already own will probably be better then that you find here. But play this with a low to mid level character and the rewards you get from it will be far more appreciated.
The change in dynamic in Operation Anchorage is a big part of the appeal of this DLC, and I applaud Bethesda for taking this opportunity to produce something different. Look upon Operation Anchorage as a deleted scene from the great movie Fallout 3.

As first regulatory body in the world, the FDA has presented a market-driven reimbursement mechanism for antibiotics that may incentivise drug development in a niche market with currently low return on investment.
The new reimbursement model could be a blueprint for other healthcare systems whose stakeholders have not yet made a decision on a financing model for antimicrobials than can break therapy resistance or last resort antibiotics, which are prescribed sparsely.
The US FDA, CMS and other agencies have started talks how to change the reimbursement model for antibiotics to create an incentive for the development of new classes of antimicrobials. For resistance-breaking new drugs, they consider a model such as for software. According to that model, payors would have to pay a licensing fee for a predefined annual amount of doses instead of reimbursing on a per-use basis. This would ensure a predictable return for drug developers, FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said yesterday. However, experts have doubts that the cash-strapped hospitals will accept such upfront payments even if reimbursable.
Traditional reimbursement models which link the ROI to sales volumes didn’t work with antimicrobials because resulting overprescription would increases the probability of mutations that lead to drug resistance. The FDA is also working to make clinical testing of new antimicrobials easier and cheaper. This would improve the ROI for companies thus making the market more interesting to drug developers. European antibiotics experts will meet on 14-15 March 2019 at the Berlin Conference to find new reimbursement models for antimicrobials and to discuss the best push and pull mechanisms to re-vive the market for antimicrobials. | 2019-04-24T09:57:19 | https://european-biotechnology.com/up-to-date/latest-news/news/amr-fda-provides-financing-model-for-novel-antibiotics.html |

Brrr! Baby, it's cold outside! The thermometer has taken a nose dive! It's so nice to be snuggled up in my Craft Cave doing my favourite thing! Because it's Friday, it's time for another As You See It Challenge design. I took one look at Amanda's cute sketch and thought, "Hello, December!"
The cute front panel with the rounded edges made me thing of Project Life, so I thought I'd get out my card kits and have a look for what I could use to make a card. The first set I checked was the new "Hello, December!" kit and bingo! I found what I needed.
Everything but a bit of cardstock came from either the Hello December card collection or the Accessories Pack! Look at how well the colours that are printed on the cards coordinate with the Stampin' Up! Cardstock. For example, the front panel is a printed card, but look how exactly the colour matches the real Crumb Cake flag just underneath!
The sentiment is a little sticker from the Accessories Pack for Hello December. It goes so well with the theme of the card, and notice that you can use this for something other than a Christmas card! Even though it's geared to December, it is not necessarily all Christmas oriented.
The card I used for the top panel did not come with rounded corners, but fortunately, I have the Project Life Corner Rounder Punch by Stampin' Up! and it does the job beautifully!
I love the snowflakes down the center of the background panel, and of course, they coordinate with the snowflake on the front panel only in black instead of white.
Gotta love those sequins. Not only are they metallic, but they are also glittered! They come in Lost Lagoon and Silver, but when the light catches them they reflect and refract so many colours. The one in the center of the big snowflake is actually silver, but seem to reflect tones of red as well.
Sooo, if you could make cards and memory keep with these Project Life kits as well, how much more versatile can you get? Watch a couple of Stampin' Up! videos below and let me know if you want in!
I have a class on Memory Keeping Made Easy with Project Life this Tuesday evening. Message me if you want to attend or respond on Facebook.

Coming into our inner worlds restores our availability to the guiding light inside of our hearts. The light is always there! Sometimes it just feels like an 18 mile hike over rocky terrain to find our centers.
Reverend Kim Forcina is inviting you to lay down and rest right on the rocks of your path and take time to be in your healed state ~ the part of you that knows EXACTLY what you need and when you do not need anything.
Her new project, Sanctuary Spirit ~ Time & Space to Replenish Your Magic http://sanctuaryspirit.com was birthed in June and our dear Jyoti helped plant the seeds for this new herb in Great Mother’s garden.
You’re invited to join us each month for two guided healing journeys and a live open call where she’ll be teaching tools to awaken your intuition, clear your energy field and answer questions that come up as we flow between the inner and outer world.

Leigh Hunt to Edward Moxon, 14 October [1840 ca.?]; Brewer, My Leigh Hunt Library ... Letters (1938) 200-01.
Will you be kind enough to read and return the enclosed, and take the trouble of letting me know exactly how matters stand in your account-book with regard to Mr. Seaton's bills? Also, at what time (if they have gone) the packet of books went off to Calcutta? I need not ask if you have seen anything of Mr. Chandos Leigh; because at all events I ought to have written to him, and have not. But they are two such different things, — the writing to a man with one's hands full of the power of showing one's gratitude, and — the reverse predicament. Oh, how different!
Ever truly yours, Leigh Hunt. | 2019-04-19T05:25:28 | http://spenserians.cath.vt.edu/CommentRecord.php?action=GET&cmmtid=5022 |

Who Are You is, frankly, a very difficult album to like. Besides the poignancy that it will attract for the rest of time due to its release being just two weeks before Keith Moon’s tragic death, this album, while not terrible, simply sounds like a band struggling for relevance and inspiration.
Keith Moon’s deteriorating health courtesy of his numerous addictions impacts heavily upon the songs. That energetic, fun and loveable character that had propelled the band through their first decade was now a shadow of his former self and his inability to capture that energy is all too evident.
Even if Keith Moon hadn’t passed away, the fundamental problem with this album is that it loses touch with the band’s true identity without finding itself another. It’s been said that Who Are You was Pete Townshend’s attempt to marry the prog and punk sounds, whilst trying to prove that The Who were not an outdated rock dinosaur by continuing to embrace new technologies. As a result, the overall sound is at best muddled. It's by no means a disaster - the title track is spectacular, while 'Sister Disco' and the ambitious 'Love Is Coming Down' suggested that perhaps they could still produce decent and interesting rock records, but tracks such as 'Had Enough' and 'New Song' do not hold up against the rest of their catalogue.
Who Are You is the sound of an exhausted band struggling to maintain a collective vision. Townshend provides six of the nine tracks, while John Entwistle chips in with the other three but in truth the band were basically finished. Completists will need this album but casual fans may want to look to one of the numerous Who compilations instead to pick up the title track.
'Had Enough' was the Who's first to use a full orchestral string arrangement.
The project began its life as a possible sequel to the original Lifehouse project. The updated story was to be set 200 years after the original. A film version of Lifehouse was also mooted at the time. It was to be directed by Nicholas Roeg, who also made The Man Who Fell To Earth and Performance but Roeg and Townshend couldn't agree on a script and the film was never made. | 2019-04-21T22:25:38 | https://www.planetrock.com/music/backstage/buyers-guides/the-who/the-who-who-are-you-1978/ |

This is what I call expensive art! While most artists spend money on art supplies, this Ukrainian man actually used money itself. 29-year-old chef Sergei Nikolayev Knurov fashioned a detailed miniature ship out of a variety of Ukrainian coins. The final piece contains a whopping 17,000 coins, with bank notes for sails.
Sergei, a resident of Mykolaiv city in southern Ukraine, first started the project with coins from his piggy bank. But he soon ran out of material – his personal stash only covered the keel. So he began to exchange paper money for coins whenever possible at drug stores and markets, and sometimes with friends. When people found out what the coins were meant for, they were glad to part with their loose change. The coins Sergei used are mainly 2 and 10 kopecks, and the sails are made of 25 five-hryvnia notes.
At first, it wasn’t easy for Sergei to actually create the 3 dimensional model of the ship using just his sketches and notes. But lucky for him, his wife Alena is an amateur numismatist (a person who studies and collects currency). She helped him fuse the coins together using silicate glue, which worked pretty well. Sergei said that using regular super glue could have resulted in oxidization, but this way the metal structure will last longer.
The couple worked for two to three hours a day, before and after work. The foundation was laid with 25 and 50 kopeck coins, the body was constructed with 1, 2, and 5 kopecks and the edges are decorated with 10 kopecks. The master deck is made of wood and the sides have openings for cannon shells. It took Sergei and Alena 6 months to collect enough coins and build the model.
The completed model ship is quite heavy at 30 pounds. The project cost them 800 hryvnia, and they are now planning to auction it off for 4,000 hryvnia. Sergei says that he plans to put his earnings into ‘new creative projects’.
Pretty impressive project, but I’m guessing it would have taken much less time to complete if he had just asked the Kopek Millionaire for a few of his 5 million coins. | 2019-04-22T19:05:19 | https://www.odditycentral.com/art/young-ukrainian-builds-awe-inspiring-miniature-frigate-with-17000-coins.html |

It’s a poorly kept secret around the office and the band’s hometown but one we can finally confirm — Matador has signed the Austin, TX trio HARLEM to a multi-record, worldwide deal.
Pitchfork’s Roque Strew has hailed Harlem as “a marvel of cartoonishly masculine, crudely analog brevity”, while Gorilla Vs. Bear considers ‘Free Drugs’ to be “super infectious, instantly endearing”, and kindly supplying a quote that we’ll gladly take out of context, the Austin Chronicle’s Audra Schroeder has fallen preil to the album’s “anxious, stuttering charm”. I know, that all sounds highly suspicious, but anyone who’s heard ‘Free Drugs’ or witnessed Harlem laying waste to any number of shoebox sized venues (some of which, were in fact, shoeboxes) can attest, the band’s casual virtuosity is only eclipsed by their otherworldly songwriting skills.
Congratulations to all involved but why is the announcement accompanied by a still from O.C. and Stiggs?
Haha, that’s Steve Terebecki in the background, member of the BPC and some band called White Denim.
thank you, but our legal dept. advises that I can neither confirm or deny Mr. Terebecki’s appearance in this photograph.
I think pretty soon Matador will just be the only label I listen too, haha. You guys just keep snapping up all the good artists.
Noice. Coomers talks a lot.
OK, time to sign Black Shirts outa Austin too. Dayam!
Free Drugs is an awesome album, let’s hope there’s many more to come for Matador.
It’s featured in our favourite albums of the year so far as it only made its way to us this year.
Looking forward to hearing them in Chattanooga–just don’t piss on my pre-amps!
This band is so good so good! Plus their videos are hilarious. Come to Philadelphia!
Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to Number One?
Did these guys break up?
as of this writing, Harlem are not playing together. Coomers has a forthcoming record of his own ; Curtis has a new Austin quartet called Grape St. Jose is playing with NY-based Daytona.
None of which is to say it’s impossible that Harlem will perform in the future, but they’re pretty busy doing their own stuff in other cities.
Please make another record! PLEASE!
I have been listening to harlem and they are one of my favorite bands since 2 years. I was wondering what happen to them because they don’t play since the last tour in Europe I’m guessing.
please scroll a few comments above.

On Tuesday, Feb. 5, I spoke in chapel at Ouachita Baptist University for its Christian Focus Week. The theme of the week was “Here am I.” I look at Luke 1:26-38 at what it means to say “Here am I” to God and what it looks like in the kingdom of God. If you really want to do great things for God, then what will that mean?
Christ’s identity as advocate, therefore, means that even when we sin, and we will, Jesus stands at the right hand of the Father interceding for us based on his righteousness and atoning sacrifice for our sins, which was made complete by his crucifixion and resurrection (1 John: 2-12). That means yesterday, today, now, and forever our status before him never changes because we are in Christ and Christ never changes.
"Life is lived forwards but understood backwards." I believe that my Christian preaching professor was quoting someone else when he spoke these words in class more than eight years ago, but I attribute them to him and have never forgotten them.
Back in perhaps late October or early November (I don't remember now), the women's minister at my church called me. The speaker they had lined up for their Fall Women's Coffee event had cancelled; would I step in. I agreed. With less than a month to prepare I prayed for a text for the coffee event. The Lord kept leading me to Matthew 6:25-34, "Do not be anxious...".
By God's grace, I gave the same talk at two different times on this passage on November 13. I said that the answer to incessant anxiety or worry even when our circumstances are grim is believing and knowing that God is a good father who loves us.
Life was going pretty well, by the way.
Then four days after I gave this talk, I had an unusual thing happen that prompted me to seek a colonoscopy.
The colonoscopy showed I had ulcerative colitis (UC), an auto-immune disease that attacks the colon. Ironically, my husband had suffered from the same disease for the past 12 years and we both had UC in the same spots of our colons!
On the heels of grappling with a new diagnosis, just two weeks after my colonoscopy, our 4 year old son went to the bathroom and also had an unusual thing happen. He was too young to have this disease and it would be too coincidental if he and I would "get" it at the same time!
After a tumultuous two months and some odd weeks of doctor's visits, blood work, stool samples and tears, he finally had a colonoscopy two weeks ago that revealed colitis. Three days after his colonoscopy, he began having abdominal pain. This led to him being hospitalized last week with pancreatitis and learning that his colitis is in fact Crohn's colitis. Two days after being home from the hospital, I fell ill very quickly. I went to the doctor just this Saturday and learned I had bronchitis and what she thought was a virus. She didn't test me for the flu. Sunday I thought I was going to die. Yesterday I tested positive for the flu.
Two Mondays ago, hours before we took Philip to the ER, I listened to the talk I gave that November morning for the first time despite the fact that I hate listening to my voice. I listened to myself, an earlier self without any real problems, talk about trusting in God's goodness and his love for us as our Father. I listened to myself say that when we take our eyes off of our circumstances and place them on the goodness and love of God we find relief from our anxiety and worry.
I believe often times it is the teacher who learns the most when he/she prepares to teaches. I don't know if God gave that message for anyone in those rooms on November 13, but I do know I needed the message. Perhaps I didn't need the message on Nov. 13, but I needed it last week, this week, and even today. I don't think it was a coincidence that the Fall Women's Coffee speaker cancelled or that God put the Matthew 6 text on my heart. He knew that I was about to enter into a time when I would possibly question his goodness and his love for me. He knew that I was about to face a diagnosis of my own and of my beloved son's. He knew that I was about to go through the ringer of physical exhaustion and face situations that would cause great worry.
Perhaps I still don't understand looking backwards why these things have taken place (I don't know if I ever should), but I do understand looking backwards that God was reminding me of his goodness and love (and even had me teach on it!) on the cusp of when I would need reminding of it the most.
I don't know what's going on in your world, but perhaps you, too, need reminding of God's love and goodness. If so, you can listen to the talk I gave here.
The night after Thanksgiving I sat down to watch my first Hallmark Christmas movie of the season. My husband, who was close by in the living room and curious as to what I was watching, was struck by the “perfectness” of the main male and female characters. “Everyone is perfect in this movie! Perfect teeth; perfect hair; perfect skin; perfect body.” For the rest of the movie he teased me for watching such an unrealistic, cheesy movie. Finally he couldn’t hold back the question that was bothering him: Why would you watch such an idealized movie when reality is so different? I thought about it for a moment. To be sure the characters were nauseatingly good-looking and the plot was super predictable. But my answer to him was simple: escape. What the Hallmark movie did for me was to provide an escape from a world filled with gun violence and radical, tyrannical Islam on one extreme and bad breath, tantrums and a messy toy room on the lesser extreme. It provided a “perfect” world where none of these things existed and I could pretend, too, even if just for a moment that I existed in this “perfect” world. The Hallmark movies are an idealization.
Hallmark has learned how to capitalize on women’s desire for the ideal, specifically for the ideal love and relationship. In fact if you watch enough of these movies, you realize the actors, setting and character names change from move to movie but the plot basically remains the same. Yet it still makes us feel good and warm and fuzzy.
I believe this desire for the ideal is something that God has placed in each of us in order to point to Himself. Living in a sinful, broken world even professing non-Christians idealize their own imagined heaven. Surely this messed up world cannot be all we get! We see this concretized in Hollywood as it has even capitalized on “heaven” movies like What Dreams May Come, City of Angels, and, my favorite, Dogs Go to Heaven.
But these feeble attempts miss the mark and idealize the lesser instead of the greater. The world idealizes what they believe is the ultimate of all relationships and love – romantic love between a man and a woman. This is Hollywood’s and Hallmark’s ideal. But their ideal fails, for as soon as the escape is over we walk into a kitchen with dirty dishes, or go to sleep next to someone who no longer loves us, or walk out to a beat-up old car that puts out more exhaust than it does breathable air, or go home to an empty house that reminds us we are truly alone. The escape they provide lasts momentarily; it doesn’t change our reality. Their idealization is of something that they cannot ever promise we will receive.
And sometimes we reject others’ attempts at idealization and create our own. Christmas-time seems to be the perfect stimulant for idealizations, and we parents are the most susceptible. We want to give our children the same, if not better, idealized Christmases that we remember. Christmas becomes a 6-week long, “magical” event where we become so consumed with creating the ideal Christmas that by the time Christmas is over we and our children experience the biggest let down of the year. Our idealized world has ended.
Small doses of idealization aren’t bad, I believe, as long as we recognize that they aren’t the end in themselves but point beyond themselves to the True Ideal which actually becomes our Reality and is the Ultimate Reality.
In the Incarnation, the Ideal has broken into the Real. Put another way, heaven came to earth. God became flesh and dwelt among us. And this Ideal is God’s ideal as defined by Scripture not our ideal defined by our standards. If it were our ideal, we would have placed Jesus in a castle not in a manger (not to even speak of the crucifixion!). Yet in Christ, we are not only shown an ideal love, the apogee of all loves, a I-lay-down-my-life-for-you kind of love, but it is a love that doesn’t remain on a TV or movie screen. It's a love that goes with us and transforms us. It is a love that doesn’t make you sick after too much of it, but a love that continues to give you life upon life so that you can never have enough.
Sometimes when we use the word ideal it is a word that describes something that will never become real. This is not true of Jesus, the Incarnation or God’s love for us. The “ideal” is so real, it is even more real than what we call our reality. What we find in Jesus Christ is the ultimate reality.
It strikes me that when Jesus teaches his disciples how to pray, the first thing he tells his disciples to ask of God is for heaven to break into our reality. It is a prayer that asks for this world to mirror and become perfect world of heaven. “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:9-13). Heaven is the sphere where God reigns as King and where his will is completely done. Since God is perfect and sinless, good and love, heaven is the place that reflects this majesty and character of God. Jesus tells us to pray for that perfect world to break into our world so that earth will become like heaven.
Until that day comes in full, Jesus promises those who he redeems and who follow him that we enter into the Kingdom of God (also known as the Kingdom of Heaven) partially while on this earth. In Jesus Christ, we have one foot on earth and one foot in heaven. Or, put another way, we have one foot in reality and one foot in the perfect world that is yet to be.
For some of you the following will make your toes curl, but I am guilty of reading the last page or sometimes the last chapter first when I begin a new book. I did this for Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. I can’t help it. I want to know how the story ends before I begin so that when I get to the difficult, scary, they-aren’t-going-to-make-it parts of the book, I can press forward because I know how it will end.
After watching two Hallmark Christmas movies this season, I have already had my fill. I can’t take another. But watching them reminded me of my need and desire and longing for that ideal, perfect world. A world that actually began away in a manger where God pitched his tent among us, a world that I taste every time I worship with my church family, pray and read Scripture, and a world that I know is coming, which will be God’s answer to our prayer: let your Kingdom come. | 2019-04-26T12:53:07 | https://www.kristenrpadilla.com/blog/category/God |
Symfony 4 and the introduction of Flex put a focus on enabling developers to create microservice-style applications with Symfony. In a microservice architecture, delegating tasks to other services or distributing data between these services is a challenge most monolith applications do not have to deal with. The introduction of the Messenger component in Symfony 4.1 is aimed at this problem by allowing applications to send and receive messages to/from other applications or via message queues. In my talk, I want to give you an introduction to the Messenger component by showing how it can be introduced in an existing application and what concepts and principles it is built on. In a realistic scenario we will introduce a message based architecture, look at some of the challenges that arise and how to handle them and finally take a look at what other problems can be solved using a message bus. | 2019-04-24T02:04:15 | https://phpconference.com/php-development/an-introduction-to-symfony-messenger/ |
As society has developed an increased awareness of domestic violence and its corrosive effect on families, our laws have become increasingly complex. Domestic violence results in physical injury, psychological trauma and sometimes death. Its impact upon children who witness it between parents or caretakers creates a strong risk of transmitting violent behavior from one generation to the next. In this area of the law, the criminal, civil and family law intersect which complicates procedures.
Under Florida law an injunction for protection against domestic violence begins with a victim’s petition for a temporary court order prohibiting contact by the alleged perpetrator. The petition must be sworn under oath and notarized. A judge reviews the petition to determine whether a temporary order should be entered prior to scheduling a hearing. The hearing on a domestic violence injunction, especially where there are minor children, is a serious and complex matter.
The use of false claims of domestic violence to gain litigation advantage, exclusive use of the marital home or sole parental responsibility of the minor children also carries long term consequences. One of the factors a court must consider when determining the best interest of the minor child in custody matters is whether a parent has made false claims of domestic violence.
Before you file an injunction or if you have been served with an injunction for protection, you should contact an attorney. The attorneys at Rice & Rose are experienced in presenting your case with an eye to the future and advising you of your rights and responsibilities under the law.

For those who’re keeping score, the original DC Comics version of Mister Sinister made his debut way back in Superman #16 (May 1942) by Jerry Siegel, Wayne Boring, Leo Nowak, Fred Ray, and John Sikela.
Sounds a lot like the regular Marvel Universe version, doesn’t he?
This appearance of the original DC Comics version of Dr. Doome has been brought to you by Leading Comics #3 (June 1942) by Henry Boltinoff, Cliff, Perry Davis, Jack Lehti, Mort Meskin (a.k.a. Mort Morton), and Hal Sherman. | 2019-04-19T18:42:27 | https://theragingfanboy.wordpress.com/2014/03/ |
Good morning folks, a simple share before my another scheduled post gets published.
Yesterday afternoon I did some coloring, I chose the digi stamp from Aurora Wings, I won this 2 years back. I used zig markers to add color, mainly shades of blues and green for the leaves.
I decided to stamp the sentiment in Chinese. Some of you who follow me on Facebook, already know that my cards are up on sale in a Department store here in Macau, so I thought of making one with Chinese sentiment, I think the locals might get bit interested with it! I am living here for almost 9 years now, and Macau is like home to me, and I am part of the Government art website, so my way of giving back. Let's see, what kind of response I get, after I send the cards with Chinese sentiments to the store!!
OK, back to the card again. After I finished coloring, I fussy cut only the top, and created a panel to add to the base. I scored the panel, and added a blue glittery paper strip, and used foam adhesives to add to the base.
A few gold jewels to finish off. The sentiment is from Mama Elephant - lunar extras, it means - wish you prosperity in English.
Here is a closer look at the colored pansies, I love these stamps!
I have mainly the shades of blue on my card.
Its a beautiful card, Rahmat! I hope you get a great response with this card!

Trying to get a different phone with no results ... My family and I signed up for new service in July. I wanted the Kyocera Duraforce Pro * phone. I was told it was not available. I went back to try and get it, and was told it was still not available. When I went back a third time, I was told that it was too late to switch as I was past the ** day period. I wanted that phone due to the durability. I have broken this Samsung Galaxy S* phone * times since I have gotten it. Now the front and the back are both shattered. I have an appointment to have it fixed tomorrow, but I would rather have the Kyocera phone that I originally wanted, but was unable to get. I have been told that I have to wait for another year to get the phone that I originally wanted when I first signed up. There has got to be something you that someone can do for me. I guarantee you that I will break this phone Samsung phone again, and I will end up having to fix it again. Someone please reach out to me.
Make it so that I can get the phone I wanted originally.
* months as a new customer. Not really happy at the moment.
I have spoken with reps on the phone, and reps in the store to no avail.
We are waiting for GetHuman2032154 to fix the problem and share the solution with the rest of us customers.

Here we have my newly finished Unicycle recumbent - got bored with riding my unicycles but was never gonna throw them away or sell the suckas and as all Instructa folk know, there is no waste just material resource - - so I thought stuff it I will make a recumbent out of my old bike frame and splice the two. Started off using the small uni and it was good - nice high torque but slow to ride ( I wanted a cruiser, but no too slow ) so I used my big uni instead ( put the little one back together to ride just for fun sometimes ).
Since buying my Penny Farthing I have fallen in love with direct drive bikes, they are so easy to ride and give you back as much energy as you put in, meaning almost no fatigue on long road trips.
Purposely did not want a lay down type recumbent as the whole feet in front of ya look is not for me but this build gives perfect leg extension and allows ya to really rest into the seat/backrest.
And I really miss my old Chopper bike - this ticked all the boxes.
Being direct drive means two cool things - like a Fixie cycle ya don't need brakes as such - to slow down, pedal slower.
And her she is - not put down the tools I used cos if your building your own ride I am sure you will use things your comfortable with and have to hand.
Liked the idea of using the uni seat as a saddle, it worked well but didn't quite give me the adjust-ability I wanted to be really comfortable and have my feet in the right position - so I made my own this was - - comfy but mmmmmm even better with an air filled squidgy.
This build was never gonna be a speed machine - I love the idea of a cruiser for just moochin round the park on a hot summers day,just chillin - but hey, if I want to go faster I can just stick on a bigger wheel, who knows.
A super simple build that was a pleasure to do - plus it gave me a bit of welding practice - it has been over 20 yrs.
Have you found an IGH for this ?
Hi - sorry for the late reply - nope, no takers yet but the Ebay bidding ends in just over a day.cheers for the post.
I'm liking it! Great work.
I'm just trying to make a trike out of a unicycle and a wheelchair.
The unicycle steerer tube is not threaded. Did you weld on or clamp on a threaded section to fit the headset to?
Hiya - as to the uni wheel.
I cut off the U part of standard forks leaving a tube inside the frame to rotate, then found a piece of steel that fitted into the tube in the frame (solid if poss) and! into the uni, then welded it all together to make a solid unit.
if you need some parts for the project and your not too far from Bedford UK your more than welcome to any of my limited stock - have almost a whole wheelchair, in bits, stored for parts.
Look forward to seeing the finished project on here an Atomic Zombie.
Good thinking batman! That's probably the best way to get the steerer tube welded on in a straight line. and better than trying to get a crown race to fit the unicycle tube for sure. I'll see if I can find a piece of tube.
...ah, might have an old handlebar stem or a seatpost that'll do.
I am a zombie too, but I live up north so a bit far to come and see your creations and snaffle some bits but thanks for the offer.
I have a wheelchair (£15 ebay) and the unicycle and assorted bikes.Have to choose which to saw up for this project, and must take some pictures for the postings.
Super comfy - just a car inner tube folded - ya usual recumbent always looks so hard on ya bum.
he he - with a bum as big as mine ya need comfort. | 2019-04-19T11:20:15 | https://www.instructables.com/id/Unicycle-Recumbent/ |
Almost 1 million young people are not in school, work or training, according to official figures which underline the extent to which the economic slowdown is hurting school-leavers.

That's ridiculous ratings. There's so much effort and help to get into work (admittedly it's not easy!) and education, but even if you can't find work most young people are entitled to free education, which means once you've gained the qualification you can stretch your job search range.
I know! I read about this on the Not Going To Uni blog. It's mad! Of course, I am soon to be a part of that group but that's because im taking my time to decide where I want to go after all this. Apprenticeships are looking like what I want to do.
I agree with what you're doing, don't rush it because of a report, it's a shame because some of these 1m young people don't have the same ambition as you! | 2019-04-25T23:43:52 | https://www.apprenticeforums.co.uk/threads/nearly-1m-young-people-not-in-education-or-work.92/ |
Since 31 October 1975 - the date of the forced annexation of Western Sahara by Morocco - the Moroccan state has exercised atrocious repression on Saharawi people claiming their right to self-determination. The campaigns of abduction and arrest have targeted all generations within the Saharawi population from old people to young, women "even pregnant ones", babies and toddlers,... etc. Hundreds of abducted Saharawis still remain in forced disappearance in Moroccan prisons. Their absence accentuated the suffering of their families as a consequence. Dozens of Saharawis have been arrested, ferociously tortured, then taken before Moroccan courts and their trials were unfair. Others were buried alive in mass graves. Dozens of other Saharawis were thrown from helicopters of the Moroccan army. To save their own lives, thousands of Saharawis were obliged to flee the territory of Western Sahara under Moroccan control and to live afterwards in refugee camps in Algerian territory or abroad in disaspora. This is how the Saharawi people has found itself torn apart. Despite this barbaric repression practised by Moroccan authorities, the Saharawi people has never had recourse to terrorist actions to demand respect for their legitimate rights. They have always preferred to count on international law and on the support of the international community to claim respect for their legitimate rights. They are a people who have chosen the proper way to fight. They are a people bearing a message of PEACE.
Since the enforcement of the cease-fire on 6 September 1991, supervised by the UN, Saharawi human rights defenders have never failed to condemn and to make known violations of human rights committed by the Moroccan state against the Saharawi people. In the face of these actions defying the tight military, security and media control in force in the territory of Western Sahara under Moroccan control since 1975, the Moroccan authorities are conducting a campaign of intimidation against these Saharawi defenders of human rights. This is how some of them have come to be deported to Moroccan towns, others have been dismissed unfairly from their jobs, while others again have been arrested arbitrarily, then sentenced, during unfair trials, to heavy prison terms.
Despite the presence of MINURSO in Western Sahara, the Moroccan state still continues to commit human rights abuses in the territory of Western Sahara under Moroccan control. These human rights abuses can only be brought to an end by bringing peace to the region. This peace can only come about through the organisation, under the auspices of the UN, of a free and fair referendum of self-determination allowing Saharawis to express themselves freely on the permanent political status of Western Sahara.
Finally, the UN has a great political and moral obligation to work for the implementation of the process of decolonisation of Western Sahara and this in accordance with the relevant clauses of international law and in particular UN resolution 1514 (XV). | 2019-04-23T10:41:34 | http://www.arso.org/DDHS120103e.htm |
The Jones Act is a federal statute that provides a cause of action for injured seamen. It is not Texas workers’ compensation. It does not require payment, regardless of fault. Unfortunately, a seaman must prove negligence or fault on the part of the vessel’s owners, operators, officers, and/or fellow employees or by reason of any defect in the vessel, its gear, tackle, or equipment (i.e. unseaworthiness) of the vessel.
This means that the employer must do something unreasonable or negligent, or fail to perform a reasonable act that would have prevented injury in order for the seaman to prevail. Only a seaman can recover under the Jones Act. A seaman is a member of the crew of a vessel or someone who is assigned to a vessel or a fleet of vessels. For example, those who work on tankers, freighters, tugs, supply and crew boats, barges, and fishing vessels as a member of the crew are considered seamen.
Jones Act law is unique and, as a result, you need a lawyer who understands these laws and how they apply to your situation.
Most land employees are limited to workers’ compensation benefits for on-the-job accidents resulting in personal injury or permanent or temporary disability. By contrast, the Jones Act gives the working seaman the right to his or her full damages for the negligence of the owner, the master, or fellow crew members. In cases where the vessel’s unseaworthiness is found to have caused the injury, an independent ground of liability will support a claim for damages against the owner.
In 1920, Congress passed a statute that was signed into law that extended the Federal Employer’s Liability Act (FELA) to seamen. This statute is now commonly referred to as the Jones Act. Interestingly, FELA was originally enacted to protect the rights of individuals who worked for the railroad.
Even in cases when this was clear, the courts tended to obey the dictates of the “fellow-seaman” doctrine, relieving a ship’s owners of liability by claiming negligence on the part of its crew.
Today’s courts normally consider a seaman a worker whose shipboard labors fulfill a vessel’s mission by contributing to its function. This definition rules out most dock workers. Although they do perform some of their duties on board ship, courts have decided that such laborers play no part in the actual functioning of a vessel. Some workers suffer shipboard injury during transport to or from a job that they perform on land. Some contractors and others perform shipboard labor on a temporary basis.
To meet the definition of a vessel, a conveyance must have the ability to move or be moved in navigation. Although this would seem to cover a wide range, it does exclude such things as fixed oil platforms that are incapable of providing transport.
The Jones Act, in some respects, is a very favorable set of statutes for offshore workers. Some of the benefits include a saving to suitor’s clause, a featherweight burden, a pure comparative fault approach to proportionate responsibility and joint and several liability.
The saving to suitor’s clause allows an injured seaman to file his or her lawsuit in state or federal court and the employer must accept the seaman’s choice of forum.
The featherweight burden is a simple way of saying that if the negligence by a seaman’s employer is shown and that negligence played even the slightest part in producing the injury than the employer is liable for damages regardless of whether the injury was foreseeable by the seaman.
Pure comparative fault means that if a seaman’s employer is in any way responsible for the accident, then the employer must pay damages to the seaman. Under most state laws, if the injured person is found to be at least 51% at fault for the accident, then that individual does not get to recover any damages.
Joint and several liability means that a seaman can hold his employer responsible for all of his damages (except the portion attributable to the seaman) even if the employer was only partially responsible and some other company bears equal or greater responsibility. The need for joint and several liability only comes into play when there are multiple companies or individuals responsible for a seaman’s injuries. However, in the maritime context, it is extremely helpful because often times an at-fault company may be based half-way around the world. With joint and several liability, a seaman does not have to sue such company in order to obtain a full recovery because the employer is held responsible for all of the seaman’s damages (less any portion of fault allocated to the seaman).
When the U.S. Congress adopted the Jones Act in early 1920, seamen hailed the provisions that allowed them to recover damages from their employers. While maritime law recognized the duty of a ship’s owner to provide its crew with a safe and seaworthy vessel on which to serve, it had until then absolved the crew’s employer of responsibility in cases of death or injury at sea.
General maritime law had traditionally given an injured seaman the right to seek medical care and daily living expenses from a vessel owner in the form of a remedy known as maintenance and cure. Its requirements bound vessel owners not only to pay the injured party’s wages for the remainder of the voyage, but also to cover all medical bills and living expenses during his recovery. Under the Jones Act provision to provide maintenance, the employer is obligated to pay a daily maintenance fee while the employee is out of work. This fee in the past has been as low as EIGHT DOLLARS a day. Contrary to what you might have been told, this fee is not fixed by law. Some employers pay an injured worker’s full paycheck. If you are injured and receiving on the low side of your daily maintenance fee, you’re probably concerned how you are going to live on it. When you are injured on the job, your employer will typically refer you to a company-approved doctor. You are not obligated to see or accept the diagnosis of a company doctor. Under the Jones Act, an injured seaman can see any physician for his care. Injured Jones Act employees have experienced that company-approved doctors don’t always provide the full range of medical tests required for a comprehensive diagnosis. Your health may be at stake if you are rushed back to work, even in a temporary or reduced capacity position designed to accommodate your injury. It is not unheard of for an employer to eventually eliminate the reduced capacity position, leaving the injured employee without work and without benefits. Of course, it’s not in your best interest to return to work until you are fully healed and capable. Can you imagine being forced back to work if you are not well?
Punitive Damages are Not an Option. Below is a more in-depth discussion on the topic.
“Maintenance” is a daily living allowance paid to a seaman while he is recovering from his injury or illness. Maintenance payments continue until a seaman has reached maximum medical improvement or until he is fit to return to duty at his previous level. There is no set daily rate for maintenance, and the rate of maintenance may vary from case to case. Typically, maintenance rates are set by employers very low in the range of $30 to $35 a day. A maintenance rate in a seaman’s employment contract is non-binding, with the exception of some collective bargaining agreements. Following the Supreme Court’s holding in Atlantic Soundings Co. v. Townsend in 2009, many employers and vessel owners are now paying more appropriate rates for maintenance in the range of $50-60 per day. Paying too low a rate for maintenance may expose an employer and vessel owner to claims for punitive damages.
“Cure” is a shorthand term used for medical expenses associated with a seaman’s injury or illness. In almost all cases, a seaman’s employer must pay all reasonable and necessary medical expenses associated with a seaman’s injury or illness. These expenses may include doctor and hospital bills, therapy expenses, nursing bills, MRI and CT scans, wheelchairs, diagnostic testing, pain clinics, transportation costs to and from the doctor, and other reasonable medical-related expenses. An injured seaman has the right choose his own doctor. The right to cure continues until the seaman has reached maximum medical improvement. Many employers and marine insurance adjusters attempt to wrongfully terminate a seaman’s benefits before they have reached maximum medical improvement. Where there are conflicting medical opinions about whether or not further medical treatment may improve a seaman’s medical condition, maritime law requires those doubts be resolved in favor of granting further treatment.
The duty to provide cure includes the duty to provide reasonable and necessary medical care to a seaman aboard ship. The seaman’s employer must use reasonable care to get a sick or injured seaman to shore for emergency medical treatment. Failure to timely evacuate an injured or ill seaman from the ship may give raise to a claim for negligence and possible punitive damages.
Every seaman who is injured or becomes ill while in the service of his vessel has the right under Federal Maritime Law to “maintenance and cure.” The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that punitive damages may be awarded against an employer who willfully and wantonly withholds maintenance and cure benefits from a seaman. Maintenance and cure benefits are a no-fault benefit, and the seaman need only prove that he was injured or became ill while working. Seamen do not have to prove negligence to collect maintenance and cure benefits. Similarly, comparative fault does not bar your right to maintenance and cure benefits. There are few defenses to a seaman’s claim for maintenance and cure, and absent willful misbehavior or intentional misconduct. A seaman’s employer must provide maintenance and cure.
Seamen with preexisting medical conditions are not barred from making maintenance and cure claims. If shipboard work aggravated the condition, the seaman may still be eligible for maintenance and cure benefits. Many employers improperly attempt to deny seamen maintenance and cure benefits based upon preexisting conditions. Unless there was a material misrepresentation in a medical questionnaire that would have impacted the employer’s decision to hire the seaman, benefits should be paid.
Seamen who are injured aboard ship also have a no-fault claim for “unearned wages.” This is a maritime common law right for an injured or ill seaman to be paid wages until the end of the voyage. The length of a seaman’s voyage may be determined by the employment contract. In the absence of a written employment contract, many different factors must be considered in determining the length of the voyage for purposes of unearned wages.
The maritime doctrine of maintenance and cure is based upon maritime common law. In addition to these basic benefits, a seaman who is injured through negligence or unseaworthiness may seek additional compensation for his injuries. A seaman that is injured through negligence is entitled to claim damages against his employer for lost past and future wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, vocational retraining costs, loss of wage earning capacity, and loss of enjoyment of life. Few accidents aboard a ship or fishing vessel could not have been prevented if proper equipment and safety procedures had been provided and followed. Maintenance and Cure provides seamen with basic benefits; however, it is the Jones Act and unseaworthiness doctrine that provide seaman with the rights to full and complete compensation for their injuries.
Prior to 2009, both maritime law and the Jones Act permitted an injured seaman to seek pecuniary damages, but the law was not as clear on whether punitive damages were available in the context of a failure to pay maintenance and cure. In that year, however, a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court broke new ground in that regard.
When the owner of the vessel on which he’d suffered injury refused to pay damages, tugboat worker Edgar Townsend fought back. Citing provisions of both the Jones Act and general maritime law, he sought punitive damages against the vessel’s owner for negligence, wrongful termination, unseaworthiness and failure to pay maintenance and cure.
Townsend couldn’t have known that his case, which reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 2009, would make maritime history.
In its notable decision, the court held that despite previous precedent, punitive damages that had historically been available in common law must also extend to maritime cases, at least in the willful failure to pay maintenance and cure.
It further determined that nothing in the wording of the Jones Act would serve as a basis for overturning the doctrine of common law in providing punitive damages for an owner’s failure to pay maintenance and cure.
The positive effects of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in the Townsend case have already become apparent. In 2012, Missouri’s Eastern District Court ruled against a vessel owner who attempted to dismiss a claim of punitive damages for liability. This victory for the claimant not only reinforces the precedent set in 2009, it also represents another milestone in maritime precedent by increasing the number of remedies available to seamen injured at sea.
The Jones Act, enacted in 1920, is perhaps as noteworthy for what it failed to address as it was for what it did.
Seamen’s rights advocates applauded the act for allowing maritime workers to hold their employers accountable for death or injury suffered at sea. Prior to its enactment, although existing maritime laws did consider a vessel’s owner responsible for providing on-board workers with a seaworthy vessel on which to labor, their employers had never been subject to liability.
In more recent times, the courts have extended the definition of seaman to include oil workers who labor on semi-submersible or jack-up offshore oil rigs. To qualify, these apparatuses must be unattached or detachable in any way to the ocean floor and capable of movement under tow in navigable waters.
In spite of its many benefits, the Jones Act suffers from one remarkable flaw: It has never clearly defined the word seaman. This omission has left its interpretation up to the courts on a case-by-case basis. However, despite that ambiguity, one fact has always remained unquestioned; the protections of the Jones Act have never extended to shipbuilders or dockworkers.
Since standard workers’ compensation plans also failed to cover these employees, the federal government stepped in, enacting for their security the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act of 1927.
The benefits of the Longshore Act extend to any worker whose standard occupation involves the building, repairing, loading or unloading of seagoing vessels. Under its terms, the qualifying injury can have taken place either on board a vessel on navigable waters or on a pier, wharf, shipping terminal or dry dock in close proximity to them.
Prior to its enactment, these maritime workers enjoyed little recourse when injured on the job. However, since the Longshore Act exists to close the gaps left by the Jones Act, workers already covered under the latter are ineligible for its benefits. The same is true of any maritime worker otherwise protected by workers’ compensation.
The federal Longshore and Harbor Workers Compensation Act (LHWCA) allows harbor workers (including stevedores, crane operators, longshore checkers, terminal workers, shipbuilders, marine construction workers, vessel repair workers, and others employed in shipyard or waterfront occupations) to recover the costs of medical care and two-thirds of their average weekly wages during periods of disability due to injury on the job. The LHWCA also applies to certain gas or oil rig employees working from fixed offshore platforms.
While these benefits are payable without regard to an employer’s fault, in most cases they will be considerably less than the damages recovered in a negligence action. The LHWCA prohibits the injured dock worker from suing his or her employer, but allows the injured employee to sue a third party – such as a shipowner, or equipment manufacturer – for damages under the general maritime law, or state-law negligence proceedings.
The Longshore Act holds the employer responsible for all reasonable medical and rehabilitative expenses of a qualifying employee injured on the job. Additional benefits include payments amounting to two-thirds of the injured employee’s weekly wage. These remain payable for as long as the disability persists.
In case of fatal injury, the act also extends wrongful death benefits to the survivors. A spouse will receive benefits equal to 50 percent of the deceased worker’s average wage with an additional 16 percent in cases involving children.
The act specifically prohibits the employer from engaging in retaliation or discrimination against an injured employee who seeks to obtain his rightful compensation.
The Longshore Act has provided a great benefit to those maritime workers who previously labored with insufficient coverage and largely at their own risk.

17th July 2009 – Malaga, Spain.
Now and again a chance to see a great concert comes up and this was such an occasion.
Each year Alhaurin de la Torre in Malaga, Spain holds El Porton Del Jazz Festival where jazz greats perform at a moderate cost to the public.
Included in this year’s billboard was bass great Victor Bailey of Weather Report fame.
We arrived at the venue with plenty of time for some light refreshment before the show started. Thankfully the organisers had scheduled the show to start at 22.30, as in Spain July can get very hot during the day.
The venue itself is a small open air amphitheatre tucked away in the quiet of Alhaurin de la Torre. I must say it was a comfortable venue with great acoustics and a well set stage.
Soon enough after a thunderous announcement over the PA, the band came onto the stage to great applause. Victor however came on holding a cane and was helped onto a stool by his band mates. We later learned he’d been in some sort of an accident and hurt his leg and one of his ten fingers. He joked the other nine where ok though.
This didn’t stop him from putting on a show stopping performance. Armed with his signature edition 4-string Fender Jazz bass, Victor went through a whole range of styles, encompassing Jazz, Funk R&B and more.
I especially enjoyed the smooth “Kid Logic”, an arrangement of George Clintons “Knee Deep” and “Slipping and Trippin” a new tune from his next album to be released soon (inspired by his accident perhaps?).
Victor’s influences are quite apparent in his songs, with his slow soulful numbers reminding us of his Weather Report era and his funkier numbers deriving influences from artists such as George Clinton.
The Victor Bailey band was composed of the following musicians.
After the show the band took the time to meet and great anyone who so wished and we were able to speak to the great man himself and obtain an exclusive signed CD.
We look forward to his new CD as long as his PC technician doesn’t wipe his hard drive again as he explained to the audience during the show. | 2019-04-22T06:40:50 | http://gear-review.co.uk/reviews/victorbailey/index.html |

"Descending from cruise altitude to pattern altitude. What is best for safety, performance, controllers, etc?" - Gregory M.
“There are a multitude of factors that will influence your descent procedures for a given airport. Some of them are passenger comfort, icing, turbulence and engine considerations.
Naturally if you have smooth air it is possible to gain some of the time you lost in the climb by pushing the nose over and only slightly reducing the power, just be sure you don’t exceed any POH limitations. If I can do this, I like to descend about 500 feet per minute.
Another major consideration in unpressurized airplanes is passenger comfort. High descent rates may cause ear blocks and sinus problems. So again, 500 FPM or less can help here as well. Sometimes it is good to level off in mid-descent to let the ears catch up.
On the other hand, if there is considerable turbulence at the lower altitudes you may want to stay above the turbulence until you are closer to your destination.
Naturally if you are IFR, you need to comply with the altitudes assigned by ATC but don’t be bashful about asking for what you need. If I have to make a low IFR approach, I want to be down to final fix crossing altitude and stabilized at least 2 miles before the final fix.
If you are VFR, you can pretty much do what you want about altitudes. In that case, I plan to arrive at pattern altitude just prior to entering the pattern.
One caution: never enter the pattern high and descend in the pattern. This could set you up to descend upon another aircraft. If you find yourself high approaching the pattern, move away and complete your descent and enter the pattern at pattern altitude. Also, there is no need to get down to pattern altitude a long way out as you are limiting your options in case of engine problems.
My goal is to plan my descent to keep my passengers as comfortable as possible within the limitations of ATC and the POH. | 2019-04-26T16:33:57 | https://pilotworkshop.com/tips/descending_pattern_altitude/ |
ever wanted to make your own wrapping paper? me too. that's why when i was younger my mother would let us dip sliced potatoes into paint and apply it to brown parcel paper. i'm a bit beyond potatoes now (except when it comes to dinner, because they're my favourite dish!). i have such a fun collection of stamps - but if you don't, i encourage you to buy one special image, or carve a design into lino, an eraser, or even yes, a potato.
it's easy to pull out some paper and print images abstractly - but since i'm such a perfectionist, i've developed a more geometric way of imprinting my wrap. follow below to make your own "perfectly placed" holiday paper.
step one: roll out some white or kraft parcel paper (these rolls are very inexpensive at office depot stores. i've had mine for years and it cost me twelve dollars). cut off a strip that is four inches wider then the width of the roll itself (scroll to look at the last images if this doesn't make sense).
step two: starting at the very edge of the paper, mark one inch measurements down both alternating sides.
step three: draw lines with a thick black marker from every fourth inch mark to the same mark on the other side (to clarify, this means the lines are four inches apart).
steps four and five: do the same one inch marks down the remaining alternating sides. do the same black marker lines at every fourth inch mark.
step eight: lay your paper roll over the grid as straight as possible (i don't cut it off the roll until i'm done printing). now look closely to see your marker lines underneath. stamp your images like bricks. alternate between every other intersection on each row like below.
you can use the same image, or switch it up. the point it that when you are done, your images will be perfectly spaced and lined - like professionally printed paper, but with much more charm.
* you may have noticed that the one inch marks are not entirely necessary. you could totally just make one mark every four inches. but i don't because later i'm going to make lines with a thin sharpie marker and print my own tissue paper :) (go ahead and try! they sell rolls of sketchbook paper at art stores, or you can stamp on thick party tissue paper.
when moving on to a new section, pull your paper down just far enough that the last row of stamps lines up with the last row of intersecting lines.
seems like too much work? - that's okay, you can buy some right here.
Yup. I could never do this so perfectly. It's hard enough to write in a straight line.
Great idea! I seem to be having trouble getting Christmas paper (yes I know, I'm super organized when it comes to Christmas!), so I might have a go at this. Thanks for posting this. | 2019-04-19T10:45:46 | http://blog.isavirtue.net/2013/11/patience-made-diy-holiday-wrapping-paper.html |

#45772070955058652 - Pictionary - "Alternative Game"
This TAS completes the "alternative" mode, in which you're supposed to draw cards from your actual Pictionary deck and tell the game who won. So I just keep telling it I won until it tells me I'm the best.
Aside from the sound glitch, this TAS won't be terribly interesting to watch--there's no gameplay at all. but it's only 63 seconds long, so some people might still enjoy it.
"Why not do Regular mode?", you might be thinking. "There's gameplay in that!" (Or maybe you're not thinking that at all (except as you read it just now) because this game is terrible and no one would care or know about it if not for Tim Follin's amazing soundtrack).
Well, no. There's not. The minigames can be skipped entirely by pressing start, so a regular mode run would look just like this, except you get to watch the shoes type "NO" (the fastest word to type) 6 times rather than listen to a sustained D natural. Oh, and "NO" is one of 511 different words, so there'd likely be multiple SECONDS of RNG manip before each minigame. Which means it may be optimal to wait less time and settle for a slightly longer word, which sounds like a headache and a half to deal with. If you have the patience and the talent for something like that, I'd love to see it.
I mostly made this run to make a point. Without the stipulation I imposed on my other run, this game is trivial to TAS and boring to watch. | 2019-04-21T00:17:54 | http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/45772070955058652 |
Years ago there was a parishioner at the church I served who was in need of a heart transplant. She was a young woman whose condition was so serious she was admitted to the hospital for care as she waited. She did just that for several weeks when the news came that a heart was now available. It wasn't very long before she was having the surgery that would save her life.
Once the donor heart is removed from the body, it should be transplanted in the recipient within four to five hours. Time is of the essence; and there is a flurry of activity in between the time the heart is transferred from one person to another. The word "immediately" applies well in such a situation.
There is an urgency to the call of God on our lives. It is a matter of life and death. In Mark's Gospel, Jesus is always in a hurry. We are told that immediately Jesus went here and immediately he went there. Immediately Jesus said this and immediately he did that. Mark uses the word "immediately" more than the other three Gospels combined. Mark's Gospel was likely written after the Apostle Paul's death, but I think he would have approved of Mark's portrayal of Jesus' ministry as one of impending consequences.
...this message of reconciliation is not just a promise of life after death in heaven, not a hope of bliss in a distant disembodied future. Rather, it is a message announcing that God’s work of reconciliation has begun. The ministry of reconciliation has begun, and we are caught up in it. That is extraordinarily good news, because it means that even in the midst of present sufferings, we can trust that God’s reconciling power will prevail. The New Creation is no vain hope; those who are taught to know reality through the cross and resurrection of Jesus know that it is the true destiny of the world -- a world created, sustained and reconciled by the love of Christ.
It is incorrect to believe that reconciliation to God and to one another is a future event only-- that work has already started. There is no time to waste.
Moreover, we are not only reconciled; in Christ we are also reconcilers. Paul reminds the fractured and contentious Corinthian Church of their responsibility. It's rather unfortunate that this reading begins at 5:20 and excludes verse 19: "...in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us."
How can the Corinthians engage as ambassadors of Christ's reconciling ministry when they have not been reconciled themselves to God each other? The fighting and terrible treatment of one another demonstrates that they still need to be reconciled themselves. Paul's entreaty to the Corinthians that they be reconciled to God (5:20) was not for their sake alone; but it was necessary if they were to be faithful ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
There is indeed no time to waste. The acceptable time of salvation is now. | 2019-04-19T10:26:19 | http://www.allanbevere.com/2017/02/no-time-to-waste-lectionary-reflection.html |
Major League Baseball is recommending in the “strongest terms” that players and staff not travel to Venezuela for the Caribbean Series, which is to start Feb. 2 in Barquisimeto.
Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido declared he was temporarily assuming presidential powers in a bid to unseat Nicolas Maduro. President Trump this week supported Guaido's claim to power. Maduro called home all Venezuelan diplomats from the U.S. and closed its embassy in Washington.
The Caribbean Series is the highest tournament for professional baseball teams in Latin America. | 2019-04-24T14:48:54 | https://www.latimes.com/sports/mlb/la-sp-mlb-venezuela-20190125-story.html |
The inception of generic medicines has helped a lot of people, as they are easily available at relatively cheaper price. Generic medications are as effective as their branded counterparts. They are nothing but the versions of branded medicines. They are produced and developed in the same way as their branded counterpart are. They are manufactured under the rules and regulations laid by the Food and Drug Administration; hence, they are extremely safe and superior in quality.
The Generic section of this online pharmacy features generic medicines such for men and women. They include Proscalpin 1mg and Kwiknic 2mg, which is used for hair loss and quit smoking, respectively. These generic medicines deliver satisfactory results. They are available at some pocket-friendly price through online pharmacies. The use of generic medicines has been majorly seen in people who suffer from sexual dysfunctions, allergy, hair fall, quit smoking and weight loss.
A generic medicine is a carbon copy medicine of its branded version. They both have same active ingredient, usage instructions, route of administration, safety, precautions, side effects and even contraindications. The only difference between a generic and brand medicine is the price, wherein a generic medicine is extremely cheap than a brand medicine. That’s because a generic medicine does not undergo production, development, research, promotion, advertisement and marketing cost. | 2019-04-23T06:53:28 | https://fortunehealthcarepharmacy.com/generic |

Asko is owned by Sub-Zero, and that is who we had to deal with. They were horrible. We purchased a very expensive Asko washer and dryer. Almost from day one we had problems with the washer. Sometimes it would just not spin all the water out of the clothes. This was random, and it didn't matter how big or small the load was or what the cycle was. This has now gone on for over 2 years. We called the store we bought it from and they sent their repairman. The man has now been out more than 10 times. Some parts on the washer were replaced although no one could seen to figure out what the issue was. NOTHING has worked and we continue to have the problem. In addition to this at times when washing suds and water would pour out of the front of the washer onto our wood floors. Of course the repair service couldn't figure out why that was happening randomly either.
During this time Asko/Sub Zero in Wisconsin was contacted several times by the repairman, and in our presence. The poor guy just didn't know what else to do and wanted to let them know about the issues. I personally just had a phone conversation that was insulting and went nowhere. The rep showed absolutely no good faith, and during the call she continually tried to manipulate the conversation and distort the truth in an attempt to try to absolve Asko/Sub-Zero of having to take responsibility for their obviously defective product.
I have never had issues like these with any other washer I have ever owned. It is truly disgusting that this company has ignored the problem and let it go on and on, no matter what we did. We went through channels and did everything they all told us to. Now, we are at the end of our patience, and are going to leave bad reviews about them on every site we can find. We have all our paperwork together and are now considering a lawsuit in small claims court. We cannot afford to let this go. Needless to say we would never do business with this company again or ever recommend them or their products.
Just awful. Spent 12K on a brand new 48 inch side by side Sub Zero Refrigerator. Took five weeks to get a service call for initial problems of excessive noise. Despite promised contact, no one called to schedule appointment. Was on hold for 24 minutes trying to find out why. When service finally appeared, they resolved noise problem but next attempt to use the external water dispenser resulted in a flood of water down the front of the refrigerator and all over the floor, with water spraying everywhere but in the glass directly under the dispenser, and creating a huge mess. Called again Friday morning to hear after 12 minutes on hold that the office is "closed". Not sure why anyone thinks this is a good product or a customer oriented company, except for the hype and advertising, all of which are lies.
My side by side built in Sub-Zero ice maker gets stuck so sometimes I don’t get ice, and sometimes it spits it out wildly. Ice dispenser is horrible as it normally spits out ice on the floor as it is poorly designed. The freezer drawer doesn’t pull out all the way, and I couldn’t find any useful information online to pull the drawer out. I called them, first woman didn’t know, and the second woman pretended she knew what to do and I told her it wasn’t working. And asked to speak to another person and she said that the next person would just tell me the same thing? This was after being on hold for 20 min and talking to them for 5. I’m not impressed for the price I paid.
Purchased this Sub-Zero 1 1/2 yrs ago. The compressor makes a bongo drum sound when it comes on. This lasts for about 1-2 minutes. The freezer does not keep food as frozen as the supermarket even at a temp setting of zero. The fridge box temp tends to measure 40-45 degrees even though temp is set at 38.
Considering the outrageously high price there should be a fridge thermostats like the ones in your home where you can set the temp for day and night. There should also be an actual temp gauge inside the fridge and the freezer!
Although we have had these models for over 18 years, they have needed many repairs to keep them working. First, the good. The compressors have lasted without failures. Bad: the evaporators in both units failed within 5-7 years, the electronic modules use substandard relays for switching the compressors on and off (contacts welding due to excess starting current), defrost heater failed on the freezer when the evaporator failed. It is very inconvenient when a refrigerator or a freezer fails so I would hope that these VERY expensive units would be built for a lifetime like the GEs built 70-80 years ago.
How do I know I can trust these reviews about Sub-Zero?
We bought this fridge in 2016 because the previous fridge lasted about 20 years. The newer model was a joke, lacking any innovation, with most of the material seemingly inferior to their 90s counterpart – all of which made me feel very stupid for not checking out the physical unit prior to forking out $10,000. We've had to contact Sub-Zero three times for issues/repair since. They dropped the ball on our last service request. As other reviewers noted, calling their falsely advertised "Call Us Anytime" line was a waste of time as no one ever picks up. I'm still waiting with the hold music and it's been over 20 minutes — writing them an email instead. By the way, the hidden email for customer service is customerservice@subzero.com. Good luck, people. I would go for a Miele, Thermador, or honestly, anything else.
We inherited the Sub-Zero 650 when purchasing our home. The unit is less than 20 years old. It seems as though it's one issue after the next. The unit is built in, so replacing it would be expensive. We're stuck with fixing it time after time. Think twice before purchasing Sub-Zero. You'll be happy you did.
Not worth the money. For its large size, it doesn't hold much. Freezer is too small and it makes very little ice. Had to get an extra refrigerator for the garage.
Do no waste your money on Sub-Zero water and ice maker. We inherited a Sub-Zero when we bought our house and it was 30 years old. About 3 years ago it started to have issues so we decided to replace with another Sub-Zero since our previous one lasted so long and "upgrade" to the water and ice maker. We just assumed that Sub-Zero would be top of the line for everything. WE WERE VERY WRONG.
The ice maker either jams or the ice shoots out so fast and all over the place. Then every now and then an ice cube will just drop out and if nobody is around, it melts and cause a puddle to form where you put the cup and drips down our wood panels. We have had several service calls and everyone tells us it is just the way it is designed and the defrost heater caused the ice to melt a little and then the cubes stick together. And the cubes are so big they don't fit through the hole very well... especially when they start to stick together. Smaller cubes or a bigger chute would help. So basically, there is nothing we can do... just a very poor design.
Our friends also bought a Sub-Zero with ice dispenser in the last 2 years and they say the same thing. We just bought a second fridge for the house (LG) with another ice dispenser and it works wonderfully. How can a company that makes a fridge at 1/6 of the cost have a better design than a $12000 refrigerator??? So unbelievably disappointed in our purchase and Sub-Zero has done nothing besides connect us to a service provider that says nothing can be done. Seriously people, DO NOT WASTE YOUR $$$.
This refrigerator keeps food perfectly and longer but is very expensive, almost three times the cost of another refrigerator, and has no bells and whistles for all that money. No ice or water in the door.
Have had this built-in SubZero since 1994 and it has been an exceptional refrigerator/freezer. Last year it finally needed a new compressor and of course there was no more R-12 refrigerant to be had so had to pay for not only a new compressor but R-22 refrigerant too. Still an outstanding refrigerator/freezer.
One of my best purchases while piecing together a new house, great craftsmanship, well-made. Good price for it all. Needs better air filtering though.
I have so many problems with my Sub-Zero (700tf) I have lost count. I had to replace the compressor last March and now it's April a year later and I think I have to replace it again! The new compressor has a warranty of one year and I'm just a month past that! I feel I'm at a loss because the freezer is built into a wall and I don't know how to replace it with a different brand that would fit. I called the closest repair shop that works on these and since they are an hour away they charge $125 upfront to come and see what the problem is. Very disappointed for the money to buy one of these. Oh, and we were the first owners of it and have only had it since December 22, 2009!
New Subzero side by side - Very good looking and apparently well made. It was installed Saturday. The instructions say it takes 24 hours for ice to be made. The next day I tried to get the ice container out to see how much ice was made. The door does not open wide enough to pull out the container. I had to maneuver it a few different ways to finally get it out and then to get it back in. I called the service department for the selling company. He said there is no adjustment and it is a common complaint. Extremely stupid.
I am submitting this review because so many others have been negative. We bought our side by side Sub-Zero 690 late in 1999 and it is still going strong. we have had repairs under $500 in that time frame. We are looking to replace it only because we are redoing our kitchen. The service person who was out a couple of years ago said that they often see Sub-Zeros work well at age 30! We bought a double wolf oven a couple of years ago just because we have had such a good experience with Sub-Zero, Having said that many people have also suggested that the newer appliances are not as reliable as older models.
We have had constant problems with our 2 Sub-Zero Refrigerators and 2 freezers. I have lost track how many times the Sub-Zeros have been serviced and parts replaced. We maintain it and clean out vents etc so we take good care of them. It’s just a poorly made product. When I tried to call the corporate headquarters, I could not get anyone on the phone. Avoid at all costs or you will be paying for repairs on a yearly basis.
Joe the refrigerator repairman was excellent in guiding me through and teaching me how to connect the water hose to my refrigerator. He even showed me how to turn on the water valve for the refrigerator to work the water and ice dispenser. I not only recommend him for his excellent job, I will order the Sub-Zero refrigerator again and continue to contact Sub-Zero for upcoming repair.
We purchased all Sub-Zero/Wolf/Asko kitchen appliances several months ago through Ferguson, both supposedly reputable American companies. The Sub-Zero promotion gives the customer the choice of several free smaller appliances (i.e. toaster) and a $1,000 gift certificate in return for buying all Sub-Zero products. In order to redeem from Sub-Zero we had to submit a redemption form, proof of purchase, serial and model numbers. We submitted everything requested online, as requested by Sub-Zero. We waited several weeks and followed up. We were informed a claim was never made. We resubmitted everything again and again we informed the claim was not received by Sub-Zero.
Our claims were never bounced back due to using an incorrect email address. We have submitted our claims three times now, both online and now by mail. Each time we call the claim dept, rep says they have no knowledge of our claim. Our conclusion is Sub-Zero has no intention of ever honoring their offer and the promotion is bogus.
I called the Sub Zero Customer Care 800 line today for they said "Ask us Anything Anytime". Unfortunately that is not the case. After hearing the repeated message "someone will be with you" I got a person that basically knew nothing. In fact she told me to call on Monday to the same phone number and ask for a "product specialist". I think they need to change their website and state that no one is available on Saturdays that is knowledgeable. Fortunately the problem is only one of not making ice, so it can hold but if I had an extremely pressing problem, I would expect far better. This Sub-Zero is 7 years old and was $10K.
Purchased our Sub-Zero and Wolf. Freezer gasket would create vacuum seal making it hard to open which is good, our fridge side never did that upon opening. He replaced the freezer side gasket with a bigger one to line up the two doors because the fridge door stuck out more than the freezer side, the problem is now neither side creates vacuum when you close it and try to open it again, which tells me that neither door is sealing properly, also ice and frost is building up in my freezer. Plus I conducted three other tests and the seals on both doors failed all three tests. So I had a professional come out to fix the problem and he made it worse, now my compressor runs a lot more and I noticed the vent above is hot and it never was before. We had problems with our oven shutting off on us. After three different servicemen the problem is finally fixed, but now one of the stoves igniter keeps on clicking even when the stove is off.
Please whatever you do don't buy these products, if you have a problem the service people are not trained well enough to fix the problems. We bought these products because they are suppose to be the best, but honestly I am so stressed out I feel like crying. My wife is sick to her stomach. We just want to throw this stuff in the garbage, because it's too painful to go in our kitchen. We have to call service again and this is about the 8th or 9th time they have been out and the range and the fridge are not even a year old. We have had more issues with our appliances than all the appliances we have owned in the last 40 years. The whole reason we bought this is so we can have peace of mind and instead I have to go see a shrink to cope. Take heed to my warning. Please. It's a lot of money and it's not even close to worth it. Believe me.
My first Sub-Zero was a model 690. After numerous problems And having to threaten the manufacturer they finally replaced the refrigerator/freezer. The problem with the first one was with the icemaker and they couldn’t repair it. Now we have a model 695. The compressor has given us many problems. Finally A month ago we had a new compressor put in. Even with the warranty we still had to pay $765. Now it’s been a month and a half since the new compressor and on Christmas morning we discover that the refrigerator is back up to 60°. What a nightmare. All our food is wasted. I really don’t know what to say. Other than the Sub-Zero’s are good looking but very unreliable. I called up the company who is an authorized representative repair facility for Sub-Zero to get this taken care of. Time will tell!
The ice makers are the worst in the industry. We paid extra for the door mounted ice delivery system and quickly learned not to use it due to overfilling and with its location you cannot visually observe it or water filling without bending down to a height of 4 feet or less. Ice maker clogs regularly requiring removal of icebox to clear. Buy a less expensive refrigerator and be much more pleased. It is overpriced by a minimum of 2x.
Don't bother to purchase this unit - after 13K and 3 years the ice maker freezes up and the compressor is gone - terrible customer service - when you spend this type of money on a product you would think that it would last more than 3years. Repairs are outrageous and it is still not fixed. Stay away.
My fridge (BI36U) cost nearly $10,000 and is falling apart after just three years. I feel so ripped off. What the heck happened to this brand? My in-laws have had their Sub-Zero for decades and have only had repairmen come out recently. This company is coasting on an old reputation that is just not true anymore. In the time I've had it, again less than three years, repairmen have had to come twice. One is here right now which is what has inspired this lovely rant! And like others on this forum, I've needed to do various things myself, like emptying my entire fridge and sitting there with a hair dryer to get the ice inside to melt.
Folks, this fridge is exactly like the sports car my husband had when we first met, it was constantly in the shop for one expensive repair or another, requiring special parts and expertise. Except this fridge is not fun when it is working, it's just a fridge. Mine was a high end kitchen design. My kitchen is all over Pinterest and sure, the Sub-Zero looks good in the photos. But now when I look at it, I feel like a big sucker. If you actually want to use this fridge in real life, be ready for a headache.
I purchased both Sub-Zero refrigerator and Wolf 48 inch oven in 2008. For past few months the Wolf oven wasn't working right and would take longer than usual to warm up and I didn't have time to call for service until my Side by side refrigerators stop working and everything melted. I panic and didn't know what to do and how expensive would be to fix it.
Then I thought instead of calling the technician I will call Sub-Zero to see what kind of suggestion they have. To my surprised they have 24 hours toll free number. I called them and explained to them the situation regarding the refrigerator and then since I had them online told them about the Range. I cannot even believed how helpful and understanding and wonderful they have been through this process.
First, the lady guide me and helped me to do some test on the refrigerator and got it back to work. She said somebody play with it and put it on showroom mode (that was our maid when she was cleaning it). Just imagine if I would of call outside technician what kind of cost and problem I would have, and then she authorized a technician to come and inspect the refrigerator and the oven without any charge.
The technician arrived on time and he was very polite and very professional and after inspecting both appliances he told me the dual oven needs one of the heating element on each one is out and needs replacement and some other part for refrigerators needed to be changed. I called the 24 hours customer service again and they said they authorized the part and the labor.
I was amazed with their professionalism, care and politeness. They did not have to to do any of these thing but they did it because they take pride of American made product and excellent reputation and amazing customer service. My refrigerator and my Wolf Range got fixed without any question or headache. I know both brand cost more but it is worth every penny in a long run. My suggestion is if you have problem with any of the product first call the company before you call any repairman.
When we decided to renovate our home in 2003, we had limited space for a kitchen in our small urban home. With space being at a premium, we decided a big boxy-style fridge would just not work, so we looked into buying a Sub-Zero. We cook a lot, and buy lots of produce at our local farmer's market, along with many condiments for making lots of styles of food. We needed a fridge that was not big, but not small either. We ended up buying a used 550 off of a refrigerator repairman for $2,000. He had refurbished it and the price included a 1 year warranty. My husband built a cabinet especially for it, custom door panels, side panels, and matching cabinet above. It looked great, just what we needed. We loved the shelves, the two egg trays on the door, the deli drawer and the ice maker.
We found the vegetable/fruit drawers too shallow, and ended up with lots of vegetables on the shelves above and below the drawers, which cut into space for everything else. The specs say the 550, 36" wide, bottom freezer drawer, has 15.7 cu.ft. of refrigerator space and 6.4 cu. ft. of freezer space, for a total of 22.1cu. ft. That is a reasonable amount of space, and not different than the old side-by-side GE we used to have. In 2008, the ice maker stopped working, and the same repairman who sold us the unit came back and installed a new WATER VALVE for $38.00 parts, $70.00 Trip charge, and $180 for labor. With tax it came to $291.00. Great, ice maker working again, all is good. But there were other annoyances with the refrigerator that we just chalked up to buying a used unit - one was mold. It seemed to creep in from the back of the refrigerator, landing on jar lids, inside corners of shelves, inside the dairy cubbies on the door.
No sooner would you do a full clean up and wipe down the whole thing with diluted Clorox and it would be back. Then there was the pan under the unit, annoying to get to, but we needed to check it every so often, as we were afraid it would fill up and wreck our kitchen hardwood floors. Then the cleaning of the upper grill, always catching dust, which looked bad, and the coils inside the upper area had to be cleaned too. This would be fine if you had cleaning help to do this but sometimes a two earner couple with kids cannot stay on top of these things. Then in 2015 the refrigerator is noisier than usual for a couple of weeks, and one day there is water flowing all over the wood floor in front of the unit, causing the wood to cup, just awful. Water spots appear on the drywall of the ceiling of the room below the kitchen.
The ice maker isn't working, and the ice cream is melted in the freezer drawer, obviously something has gone wrong with the freezer, so we call the guy we bought it from, but he never calls back, so I look for another repairman who will work on Sub-zeros in our area (not too hard to find as we live in a very urban setting in a major US city). The new repairman comes out, looks it over and says the Evaporator needs charging, and that there seems to be a leak in the freezer system. The total estimate to fix is $1,200, with a 3 month warranty on the work. As we are very busy and can't really deal with changing out the refrigerator at the time, we agree to have him do the work. He is there almost a whole day with his equipment consisting of a tank and long hoses, but in the end the 550 is up and running, including the ice maker.
We spend weeks tearing up the damaged floor, searching out boards to match the 100-year old original floor, new finish, etc, and do the best we can to make it look okay, although it was impossible to repair it to how it used to be, and to this day we see the "mistakes" in the floor thanks to the 550 Subzero leak. The downstairs ceiling also has to be "down" while the ceiling is repainted. It’s August 2017 now. The icemaker once again is not working. The mold is back in the refrigerator area. The white paint that we had repaired on the shelves is once again coming off, with the black metal showing through. We still stuff the vegetables in, but love the egg trays for our farm fresh eggs. But it is time to throw in the towel. And here is why I would never buy a Subzero again - the refrigerator doesn't really work well when you store actual food in it. Like a family-sized amount of food.
The whole system is designed around air circulation, meaning you have to only store shallow items on the top and bottom shelves of the refrigerator section. So I did a calculation of the actual area of storage in this unit, 36: wide, 24' deep, 84" high fridge/freezer. When you measure the actual space that jars and food items will fit onto the shelves, excluding the lips and the brackets, etc, the actual area for storage is: 12.4 cu ft. Fridge and 4.5 Freezer for a grand total of 16.9 cu ft. of space. It’s just not an adequate amount of storage space for the average family. Who can be constantly concerned that the items on the bottom shelf won't block the "airflow?" It's a refrigerator, for goodness sakes. I'm glad I did not spend an arm and a leg to learn the truth about Sub-zero. I hope to find a real refrigerator, one than can look after itself.
We've only had our wine cooler for 3-1/2 years. It was not inexpensive... $7000 or so. I would have expected many years of good service. So, the bottom unit just failed... called in a local service company to repair. It's past the 2 year warranty, and it's not a covered 5 year warranty item. $275 to fix. Three weeks later, the top unit failed. Waiting to hear what this will cost me. Oh, and the only authorized Sub-Zero service company for South Florida is in Miami, over 80 miles away. Very disappointed. I have other Sub-Zero appliances, which I'm questioning now, expecting them to die soon. I will not consider Sub-Zero again, nor will I ever recommend to friends and colleagues.
This is the second time my Sub-Zero failed. The last time it was the compressor for over $800. I won't make that mistake again. I can buy a new fridge for much less. My ice maker has been frozen for two years. I am tired of using a hair dry to melt the ice blockage.
Sub zero built in refrigerator - Would not recommend these pieces of junk to my worst enemy. Have had two service calls at over 600.00 each and the parts were still under warranty. The drain hose freezes constantly and has to be thawed, a design defect for sure. I'm ready to take it to the dump where it belongs and get a fridge for less than I pay for servicing this one. I know where they get the zero in their name from. I would give them a zero star if it was available.
I am very dissatisfied with this product! We bought a Sub-Zero when we built our home less than two years ago. The ice jams up nearly weekly, the freezer ices up and the dispenser leaks! We paid several thousand dollars for this because we wanted an high-end kitchen. What a mistake! Before this, we had a Kenmore for 20 years and never had a problem. Don't buy this product!

A £6.5m grant has been awarded to pump naturally-heated water from an old coal mine and use it to heat 150 homes.
Bridgend council said the £9.4m scheme would extract water from the former Caerau colliery.
The cash is to develop and implement technology to pump water from a depth of 230m (750ft) which has been heated by the earth to about 20.6C (70F).
“It’s a very prestigious project and I am proud it’s happening in Bridgend,” said cabinet member Richard Young.
A feasibility study is ongoing until the end of February and the British Geological Survey has tested the temperature, chemistry and volume of water available.
The scheme could eventually heat 1,000 homes and help cut energy bills in Wales’ fifth most deprived ward.
It is hoped it will save people up to £100 a year as it does not require gas to heat the water.
Construction work is expected to start in 2020 with the first 150 homes being heated by winter 2021.
The total cost of the project is about £9.4m – the Welsh European Funding Office’s £6.5m grant has been combined with £2.2m of match funding from the UK and Welsh governments, the council and non-profit organisation Energy Systems Catapult.
Bridgend council is trying to raise the remaining £700,000.
The council said there were other mine water heating projects across the UK but none “on such a large scale”.
Mr Young said the scheme would create jobs and apprenticeships but the number is not yet known. | 2019-04-20T12:33:46 | https://www.euroheat.org/news/6-5m-caerau-coal-mine-water-central-heating-plan/ |
Changing the game for the “game changers," The Digs Changing Poncho makes disrobing a magic trick.
Comfortably get naked on the Beach & Change Carefree!
I love going to the ocean straight from running errands or work. I show up in my normal clothes, strip down under my Beach towel poncho, and slid my bikini on super easy. Being on the beach in Hawaii, of course I get funny looks from tourists, but they always seem impressed when I'm done changing. Locals always ask what Brand it is! Comfortable, warm, soft & perfect, this was my favorite and most used Christmas present. Highly recommend. Worth every dollar.
This is a great alternative to towel changing! it really makes for a great garment that is comfortable and sporty.
The material used is better than my house towels from Costco. I would recommend this to my family and friends.
Super comfy and warm for those San Francisco cold days. Easy to change in and out of your wetsuit while staying warm. | 2019-04-22T18:45:27 | https://slowtide.ca/collections/all/products/the-digs-changing-poncho |
Background: Health workers in both well-resourced and limited income settings face health threats from exposures encountered in their unique and complex work environment. Even before the 2014 Ebola outbreak, preventable harm was routinely felt by health workers, most visibly through the fatal collusion between the HIV/AIDS epidemic and tuberculosis (TB) infection in high endemic countries.
Objectives: The aim of this paper is to examine the analyses of the health sector workforce by development and public health agencies regarding its sustainability, threats from workersʼ personal health risks and discussion of protections to address those risks.
Methods: Development and public health agency reports assessing the sustainability of and threats to the health workforce both pre-and post the 2014 Ebola outbreak were examined with a focus on low and middle- income countries (LMICs).
Findings: Reviews of the health sector workforce have largely focused on its role as a necessary component of sustainable development. Hence, staff competency, numbers and productivity have been emphasized with little notice of the conditions of work and the highly hazardous environment contributing to worker out-migration, illness and death.
Conclusions: Going forward, the 2016 World Health Assembly campaign to advance human resources for health and other UN efforts on health employment may offer some opportunities to address needed health worker protections. However, to these largely competency-focused workforce development efforts must first be brought resources for and commitment to protecting the safety of these workersʼ lives and livelihood. Doing less defeats investments in fragile health systems and is plainly unethical.
In both well-resourced settings and in low- and middle-income (LMI) countries, the health workforce is threatened with harm from exposure to agents encountered in a unique and complex work setting.
While the Ebola outbreak is the most recent example of preventable harm faced by the health workforce , serious threats to these workers’ lives and livelihoods predated that historic devastation, most visibly through the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the fatal collusion between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) infection in high endemic HIV regions . Such outcomes cripple health systems in affected areas, further jeopardizing capacity to prevent and treat wider advancing health threats, both infectious and otherwise.
Given these sobering and on-going risks to both the work force and the larger health system, worker protections must take on a greater urgency than previously afforded by health ministries, sector planners and donors alike.
The health sector is best identified with the risk of exposure to life-threatening infections such as TB, SARS, HIV, and hepatitis, which have been the primary focus of health worker (HW) safety programs, where they exist. Also historically recognized were cancer excesses in radiology personnel which have declined with safety interventions . More recently acknowledged have been the chemical hazards, including novel agents, some unique to the sector such as sterilants, laboratory reagents, and pharmaceuticals including the highly toxic anti-cancer drugs . Also recognized are musculo-skeletal injuries resulting from patient lifting and workplace violence against health workers, which have contributed to poor job conditions and staff dissatisfaction .
The altruistic, caregiving mission of the sector also complicates prevention practices because typical workplace self- preservation behaviors are suspended in a culture of selfless commitment to patient care. There is an erroneous ‘either/or’ mentality often present that sometimes forces a worker to make a false choice between providing good care or protecting one’s own health .
Conditions of work and threats to health have been found to contribute to the current global HW shortage and even in well-resourced settings, are critical factors in job satisfaction and nurses’ decisions to stay in the profession .
While the vulnerabilities of the global health workforce have been well known for more than twenty years, consistent, systematic protection efforts by public health and development agencies have been disappointingly lacking.
An early reference to HW safety was made in a World Health Assembly (WHA) resolution, titled “Global Strategy for Occupational Health ” where, the “complex combination of hazards” in the health sector was expressly called out as requiring attention.
This resolution pre-dated the spate of international development agency reports that would follow in the late 1990s through the mid- 2000s describing the toll the HIV/AIDS epidemic was taking on health systems in LMI countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa .
The connection between HIV infection and TB susceptibility was sufficiently well documented by the late 1990s that the WHO issued a policy statement recommending preventive isoniazid therapy to persons living with HIV . It would take more than an additional decade for that and other preventive policies to be specifically recommended for the health worker living with HIV , despite the evidence that TB risk in health workers is “consistently higher” than risk among the general population world- wide [12, 13, 14].
Importantly, most of the analyses of the health sector by development agencies was performed from an economic development vantage point, viewing the workforce as an element of the broader health system hobbled by the burden of the epidemic generally and less so as a targeted victim of it.
Certainly, this emphasis was understandable given these agencies’ mission focus on sustainable development and view of the health system as a necessary component toward that end. Thus, the attention to numbers of workers, capacity, competency, productivity, and worker to population ratios were often the metrics used to describe the health workforce for these reports .
Despite the presence of data to the contrary [13, 16], health worker absenteeism, illness, and death were largely ascribed to workers being members of the wider, general population affected by the HIV epidemic. Typically, not appreciated was the risk from providing care to affected patients, often without safety training, prescribed work practices, protective vaccinations, and proper equipment.
Acknowledging the urgency of the HW crisis, explicit mention of “worker illness and death” as one aspect of HW “out-migration” from the workforce was made in the 2006 World Health Report, “Working Together for Health”, in which the WHO warned that, “losing its workforce can bring a fragile health system close to collapse ” and urged improvements in “conditions of work” in the health sector.
The health workforce was also promoted as one of six essential “pillars” of WHO’s health system strengthening initiative in 2010 . While its focus was again on raising worker numbers and clinical capacity it also targeted for intervention workforce shortages and “losses caused by death, retirement, career change, or out migration”.
Reinforcing this health workforce development campaign, the World Health Assembly (WHA) in 2016, approved a WHO proposal advancing a global strategy for human resources for health (HRH) through 2030 . The proposal however, is disappointingly sparse on any mention of occupational health protections for these workers. Though the concept is mentioned, it contains no specifics even though detailed specifics are included regarding education and training goals and skills acquisition.
Some of the worker- focused sustainable development (SD) goals adopted at the 2015 UN SD Summit might have been woven in here, including providing for the social protection and surveillance of high-risk workers and promoting the International Labor Office (ILO) campaign of “decent work” , a principal tenant of which is to provide a “safe working environment”.
Fortunately, the notion of ‘decent work’ was included in the UN High-Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth convened in 2016 to address the global HW shortage through cross-sectoral collaborations which may promote safety assurances for HWs not currently provided them.
What will keep health workers reporting to duty?
In the late fall of 2014, during the Ebola outbreak, a senior official in the U.S. Department of Health asked a panel of occupational health and infection control experts, “What will make medical workers and responders feel safe enough to keep reporting for duty?” This question was asked because some U.S. workers failed to report for duty because of fear for their own safety and their lack of confidence in safety preparedness of their employers.
The health worker’s ethical “duty to (provide) care” during pandemics and public health emergencies has been raised previously after similar events and in the literature, without resolution. The challenge arises in the need to clarify and balance the extent and limits of the health worker’s ethical duty to provide care, on the one hand, with the employing organization’s ethical responsibility to protect the workforce by providing safety measures, on the other [22, 23]. Given that many organizations’ safety efforts during the Ebola pandemic fell woefully short, both in LMI and developed countries, this balancing of ethical duties and responsibilities remains unresolved.
We know however, from occupational health research that when the worker is confident of the employer’s organizational commitment to safety, they will continue to report for duty. This has been shown by measuring safety culture confidence, one example of which is the availability and quality of personal protective equipment (PPE) . Obviously, a safety program must be more comprehensive than this single aspect, but PPE availability has been viewed as a tangible measure of employer commitment to affected workers.
Expectations that employers, including Ministries of Health, are obliged to provide safe employment for their workers, is not a new idea. Contained in a 1981 ILO Occupational Health Convention, ratified by more than 65 countries, many of which are LMICs, was a provision which required employers to ensure that workplaces were “safe and without risk to health” as reasonably practicable including the control of “chemical, physical and biological substances and agents… ”.
More specific to the health sector, the International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH), in its 2004 document “Recommendations for Protecting Healthcare Workers’ Health”, called for a “systematic occupational risk prevention program” for health workers to include training regarding work risks and the provision of protective measures, as an integral part of an administrative process addressing healthcare quality .
These protective measures are specified in basic occupational hazard control methodology and have achieved success in hazard mitigation across many industrial sectors globally . In most cases, these measures can be effectively applied to the health sector , even in low resource settings .
In the wake of the bitter lessons of Ebola and the more protracted threat to the health workforce posed by HIV/TB complicity, public health leaders must more deliberately prioritize the safety of workers and improved conditions of work in the health sector. Occupational health expertise and services must be routinized not only in disaster responses but in the usual organization of health services provision. To the competency-focused workforce development efforts currently proposed for the health sector must first be brought sufficient resources for and and avid commitment to ensuring the safety of these workers’ lives and livelihoods. To continue to do otherwise propagates “a special cause of wastage” in the health workforce , defeats investments in fragile health systems and is plainly unethical.
