Gov. Greg Abbott refused to pick sides Wednesday in a growing squabble over how best to cut state taxes, and moved away from an earlier promise to “insist” that Texas lawmakers cut property taxes before the session ends on June 1.
*Editor's note: This story has been updated with comment from Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.
Gov. Greg Abbott refused to pick sides Wednesday in a growing legislative squabble over how best to cut state taxes, and moved away from an earlier promise to “insist” that Texas lawmakers cut property taxes before the session ends on June 1.
At a press conference coinciding with the dreaded April 15 income tax filing deadline, Abbott hailed the Legislature’s heated debate over taxes as a sign of fiscal health when other states are struggling financially.
Abbott said he still feels property taxes are too high and noted that cutting them is “definitely on the table.” He was referring to the $2.15 billion property tax proposal being pushed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, the Tea Party Republican who presides over the Senate.
In a statement Wednesday afternoon, Patrick repeated his support for the property tax cut.
"I agree with Governor Abbott that I too will not support any budget that does not have franchise tax relief," Patrick said. "I also will not support any budget that does not have property tax relief, as well."
But in his remarks to reporters, Abbott also suggested that sales tax cuts — being pursued by House leaders who have battled with Tea Party-backed lawmakers and activists — represent another legitimate alternative.
“There is the possibility of property tax reduction. There is the possibility of sales tax reduction on top of the margins tax reduction,” Abbott said.
House Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, issued a statement saying he was "certain the House and Senate will work well together in the final weeks of the session."
Shortly before Abbott spoke, more than 100 conservative activists rallied outside the Capitol to mark Tax Day, the impetus for some of the original Tea Party protests several years ago. Michael Quinn Sullivan, leader of the conservative advocacy group Empower Texans, hailed the ongoing discord over tax relief as a sign of how much the Tea Party has come to influence the legislative process.
"Today this chamber and this chamber are in a fight over what taxes to cut and who can do the biggest tax cut," Sullivan told the activists. "You are winning."

Book Review: Memories of Russia and life in the U.S.
Russian American fiction continues to be a vital sub-genre of Jewish American fiction. Some of the works produced are based on the sense of dislocation their authors felt when moving to a new nation. Others offer a sense of nostalgia for the old country. Two recent works – “Stealing Cherries” by Marina Rubin (Manic D Press) and “The Scent of Pine” by Lara Vapnyar (Simon and Schuster) – focus on both aspects.
Rubin is a new voice on the scene and her collection of flash fiction (each story is less than a page) was a revelation. Her writing has such a sharp focus that she successfully captures an event and mood in very few words. Perhaps this comes from her training as a poet, although since I haven’t read her poetry, it’s impossible to compare them. However, the writing in “Stealing Cherries” is definitely prose. Her playfulness with form – there are almost no capital letters and each story is told in a single paragraph – does reflect a background in poetry.
While these funny, strange, off-beat works are called fiction, the ones written in the first person read like autobiography. For example, in “Welcome to America: Day 2,” she tells of her family’s arrival in the U.S., noting how the Salvation Army gave them food and clothing as if they’d been in a natural disaster: “we tried to tell the nice philanthropic people we came here not because we were poor but because we were jewish, that we were persecuted.” However, even though her family felt guilty about accepting the gifts, they didn’t turn them down, noting that “here you just never know how things will turn out.” There are funny stories about how the narrator learned that she is Jewish, received her first marriage proposal at age 12 (when her family was about to leave Russia) and her hidden hopes when a male friend, who recently became religious, returns to New York.
“Stealing Cherries” is less than a 100 pages, but still manages to offer a wide variety of satisfying tales. If one story doesn’t appeal, that’s not a problem: there’s a new one on the next page.
While Rubin has previously been known for her poetry, Vapnyar’s most praised work has been her short stories. Her first novel was a bit of a disappointment, but this second one shows great improvement, partly because its focus is on storytelling and memory, particularly that of its main character. Thirty-eight-year-old Lena not only feels dissatisfied with her marriage and career, but with life in the U.S. After meeting Ben, a fellow academic at a conference, the two spend a weekend together with Lena sharing a-not-quite nostalgic look at the most formative time of her life: her summer as a camp counselor in the Soviet Union. Lena talks about the strange things that occurred during that momentous time, which have affected the course of her life until the present day.
The storytelling Lena does is echoed in the books she and her fellow counselor read at camp: “Canterbury Tales” and “One Thousand and One Nights.” In the former work, stories are told to make time pass more quickly, while, in the latter, the tales are used as an attempt to slow time. Lena’s narrative of her camp days does a bit of both. Even more interesting is the difficulty she experiences when putting her memories into words: “Over the years she had spent so much time telling it in her head that now every word she used felt awkward and wrong. The main problem was not even the content: what to tell, what scenes to choose, which characters and events to bring forward, which to omit altogether, but how to transform images into words. Because in her head, the story ran like a movie.” When Lena discovers what really happened that summer, she learns just how unclear is her view of the world.
While Lena originally comes across as unlikeable, readers will soon be seduced by her storytelling. Vapnyar also succeeds in making Lena’s reactions and actions understandable and sympathetic. By the end of the novel, that historic summer in Russia will feel almost as vital to readers as it does to Lena and Ben.

I write this letter in recommendation for Regency Contracting (Cheltenham) Ltd as a general building contractor. I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Steve Dodson on the re-design a fit out of our retail premises at out Gloucester site earlier this year. I can recommend him highly and without reservation. Throughout the course of the build, Mr. Dodson was a professional; he was accurate in his initial assessment time scale and cost of our project. He closely managed the sub-contractors, who completed the job with care and precision. In addition, they were extremely clean and tidy in the workplace, the workplace was never left in disarray being vacuumed and swept daily. Mr. Dodson managed the project to ensure there was minimal disruption to the rest of the building. We couldn’t be more pleased with the standard of their work, and overall work ethics.
We have used Regency Contracting on several occasions in recent months. We have been totally satisfied with their performance from making initial contact, to ‘sizing up’ the task, to completing the task and final invoicing. They have always been courteous and professional in their approach and the quality of workmanship has been very good; all necessary health & safety measures have been in place and complied with.
Dear Steve Your Company was recommended to me by a colleague a couple of months ago to assist with building and construction activities. I have been extremely satisfied with the service and found firstly the management to be well organised, quick to respond and economically priced. Secondly the work carried out is professional and in a timely manner. I would have no hesitation recommending Regency Contracting and plan to continue our working relationship.
I have recently been involved with the construction of a dwelling using Regency Contracting as the principal contractor. The project was undertaken using JCT2005 Minor Works Contract with a value of approx £65,000. The build was undertaken on time and within tender. I would have no concern about using Regency Contracting for other similar works or for recommending them to other agents and clients.
Take a look at some of our latest work in our project portfolio.

Congressional staffers walked out of their offices on Thursday and bowed their heads in prayer while protesting the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.
The men and women crowded onto the steps of U.S. Capitol as they listened to the solemn words of Senate Chaplain Barry Black.
"Forgive us when we have failed to lift our voices for those who couldn’t speak or breathe for themselves," Black said, alluding to the last words of Staten Island dad Eric Garner, who was killed in a police chokehold.
The chaplain's prayers are usually apolitical, but he's proven that he isn't afraid to speak his mind when the spirit moves him. His prayers grabbed the nation's attention during last year's government shutdown. Every day of the stalemate, Black opened sessions in the Senate chamber with a blistering rebuke of the senators' "stubborn pride" and "blunders."
We're gathered here today so that we can be the voice for the voiceless. We believe that there is a power that has fueled our nation toward excellence through the centuries. And we are here today to take advantage of the free exercise rights guaranteed to us by the framers and founders of this nation. And we begin this gathering with prayer. So let us pray.
Eternal God, our hope for years to come.
We thank you that your presence has sustained this nation throughout the seasons of its existence. You have brought America through many challenging times. Today as people throughout the nation protest for justice in our land, forgive us when we have failed to lift our voices for those who couldn’t speak or breathe for themselves. May we not forget that in our national history injustice has often been maintained because good people failed to promptly act.
Forgive, O God, our culpability in contributing to our national pathology as you keep us aware of our own capacity to be instruments of injustice. Immunize us from that self-righteousness that blames everyone but ourselves. Lord, comfort those who mourn, who know the pain of loss, the anguish of grief and the futility of despair. Remind us that earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Protect and guide your people who gather here today.
May the words of our mouths, the meditations of our hearts, and the activity of our limbs be acceptable to you, O God, our rock and redeemer. We pray this in your sovereign name. Amen and Amen.

Master coach Tony Roche is backing Bernard Tomic to deliver on his promise to make the world's top 10 - so long as he finally knuckles down.
Roche, who delivered Tomic an infamous spray during this year’s Davis Cup loss to Germany, was among many impressed by the 20-year-old’s fight and spirit in his Hopman Cup comeback win on Saturday night.
Watching from Brisbane where he’s preparing Lleyton Hewitt for the Australian summer, Roche said Tomic’s 7-6(6) 3-6 7-5 victory over Tommy Haas in Perth showed the depth of the Gold Coaster’s talent.
“I thought he played well and I liked his attitude,” he said.
Tomic, who has slipped to 52 in the world rankings after peaking at No.27 in June, has been dismissed from Davis Cup duties to get his house in order.
Unperturbed, he’s already revealed his 2013 goal as an assault on the top 10.
While many have questioned the influence of Tomic’s father John as coach, Roche believes the 2011 Wimbledon quarterfinalist should be experienced enough to take the right advice.
“I would hope he takes it all on board and say ‘I’m at the age where I need to mature and let my racquet do the talking’,” he said.
“There’s no question he’s got the talent and he can do it.
Despite Roche’s attack on Tomic during his listless 6-4 6-2 6-3 loss to German Florian Mayer in September, the Davis Cup mentor insists the pair get on well.
“I’ve got a lot of time for him,” he said. “He’s got a funny side to him. If he can put it all together, he’ll be a big star. There’s no doubt about that.
“It (the spray) may have appeared worse than what it was. Bernard, he was struggling playing the guy. He was just frustrated.
“I said `look mate, just get stuck into it’. He said `what’s the point?’. But we were fine. There was nothing in it really.
“I think we all forget he’s still very young. It’s all very new to him. He’s playing these hardened professionals. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time.

For this edition of Sunday Scribblings, I’m sharing 5 bookish facts about myself. Don’t forget to check back every other week for a new Sunday Scribblings post. Let’s get on with it, shall we!
Chances are if the cover isn’t pretty or eyecatching in some way, I wouldn’t even bother to read the synopsis unless its by one of my favourite authors or if someone recommends it on Booktube or elsewhere in the blogsophere.
I prefer physical copies to Ebooks but own a lot more Ebooks.
Why? Simply because for the past 4 yrs or so, we have lived in 3 different countries and we all know how heavy and expensive books are so to take them with me everytime we move or rebuy each time, is not only costly but impractical. I do own a few here in Belgium and once we settle somewhere, my dream is to rebuild my library.
95% of the books I read come under the umbrella of the fantasy genre, be it YA, Adult, Dark, Epic..
I have gone through different reading stages in my life. There was once a time when I couldn’t get enough Romance but now I steer clear of that genre and hate when I’m reading a fantasy novel that is more romance than fantasy. I also had a horror phase and a thriller phase for eg but fantasy has always been my real love.
I love my Kobo Aura H2o.
Reading is one of the constants in my life.
Regardless of what else is going on, what stage I am in my life, my physical location, my marital status, reading has always been there. From the age of 3 until now, I’ve never gone a day without reading, even if its just a chapter, I read daily. I remember back in St Vincent & The Grenadines, where books at that time were not so easy to come by, at least not new releases, that I would re-read books that I owned constantly, because I just have to read. It’s so relaxing and it’s my ultimate escape from all that life throws at me. Now I have a daughter and I’m trying to instill that love of books in her, as my mom once did to all of her children. Books rock!
Thanks for stopping by! Do you have any bookish facts you want to share? Comment below.

Integrative Urgent Care is the Glendora community's premier choice for flu shots.
Integrative Urgent Care is the place to go for Influenza prevention, treatment, and education. With our extended available office hours and online check-in consider us your local headquarters for everything thing flu-related.
As indicated by the CDC, Infuenza cause an expected 9.2 million to 35.6 million illnesses every year. Of these, between 140,000 to 710,000 cases require hospitalization. From 12,000 to 56,000 cases are deadly.
Our job is to ensure you don’t end up as one of those unfortunate statistics let’s begin by covering some critical influenza facts. By learning a few facts, our goal is to help you limit downtime, abstain from infecting others, and in a perfect world, prevent this type of cold virus completely.
Seasonal influenza incorporates four unique types of Infuenza infection, three types of the viruses infect and harm humans.
Infuenza A and B viruses are commonly responsible for the regular flare-ups in the U.S. The A virus is linked to the worldwide diseases of Bird Influenza and Swine Influenza. The C virus is typically milder and not likely to cause real harm. Infuenza D infects livestock, not people.
Spreading this season’s flu virus is simple and often done easily, since there’s a delay in the onset of symptoms. You infect others before you know you have the Flu or show symptoms. Since you can be contagious as early as day one and up to a week after “feeling fine”, the on off chances are high of contamination. The very young, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are most at risk of remaining contagious for longer periods.
The CDC recommends those that are contaminated with the Flu remain home for no less than 24 hours after the fever has broken without the need for fever-decreasing medication.
Influenza treatment can be hard to get correct, since symptoms may resemble many other illnesses. A sore throat, fever, runny nose or stuffiness can be related to a wide range of sicknesses—most often, an old fashioned cold.
Flu Symptoms also differ from person to person. One can encounter weakness, body pain, and chills, while another encounters fever, diarrhea and vomiting. As anyone might expect, this season’s cold virus can be about difficult to analyze without a Flu test, which must be administered not long after becoming infected.
Patients generally want to know how to prevent the flu and flu symptoms. There are couple of compelling over the counter drugs. A few sources suggest zinc, echinacea, vitamins, or even certain foods to weaken influenza, incorporating nourishments rich in cancer prevention agents, lean protein, and vitamins A, C, and E.
When already infected, getting rid of the flu is slow – it only takes time and the body’s own fighting immune system to effect flu. Your Integrative Urgent Care provider may prescribe in certain circumstances, an antiviral medication which can weaken Infuenza symptoms as well as the decrease the duration of the illness.
Although antiviral drugs are generally helpful in treating flu symptoms, the most effective time to administer is within the first 48 hours of flu symptom onset. For patients at high-risk, or for those exposed to the virus who haven’t yet exhibited symptoms generally anti-viral drugs are reserved as a preventive measure.
How Clever Is The Flu?
The flu virus cleverly fools the body’s immune system which makes flu remedies often ineffective. So the virus changes slightly so it becomes unrecognizable to the immune system, as soon as you develop proper protection.
Because of this cycle you may get the flu virus year after year after year. The flu vaccine must be regularly updated to remain useful due to the constant mutation.
The most effective ways to prevent the flu, start with flu season tips to avoid the flu.
Infuenza are highly contagious viruses that can affect people of all ages fast. Your Integrative Urgent Care provider has expertise on how you can prevent a flu epidemic. The most convenient, affordable, and effective way to prevent a flu virus from infecting you, your family, and others is the Flu vaccine.
Twice a year, medical specialists identify which flu viruses will most likely occur through research. Vaccines are then made containing inert or “dead” samples of those viruses. The inert virus samples are then injected in order to train the body. The body’s immune system responds by developing antibodies that protect against those identified viruses.
Get a flu shot annually to help prevent the flu. Best tip is to get a flu shot annually. While only 60% effective in complete prevention, the flu shot prevents more severe symptoms. Those vaccinated suffer less from the virus and tend to get a milder form of the flu than those who are not vaccinated.
The proper flu shot depends on age, medical history, and many other individual factors. Your Integrative Urgent Care provider helps you determine the right vaccine for you or your family member. Keep in mind, there is more than one kind of Influenza shot.
Flu vaccines contain only inactivated or weakened flu viruses, incapable of infection. So you cannot get the Flu from a flu shot however, some people experience soreness, tenderness, and redness in the area around the shot. Also common soon after the vaccination can be low-grade fever, headaches, and muscle aches.
Staying one step ahead of the flu is the best prevention. We recommend everyone six months and older have a flu shot. Ideal get vaccinated in late summer or early fall, before flu season begins. Because the flu vaccine may take up to two weeks to provide full protection, get vaccinated by October. However, any time of the year is still better to get a a flu vaccine than not at all.
The flu shot is the most inexpensive flu prevention method. In fact, the trivalent vaccine, commonly used and approved for those between 18 and 64 years, is available at Integrative Urgent Care for just $20 per shot, without insurance.
Check with Integrative Urgent Care to see whether the trivalent vaccine is the right choice for you this season. And remember, the sooner you get it, the sooner the antibodies can take effect, the less vulnerable you are to the flu.
Protect yourself by visiting Integrative Urgent Care before and during flu season. For convenience, you can walk-in, or check in online first for faster treatment.
There are some who should get the shot only on recommendation from their doctor or even not at all. If you have any one of the following: a fever above 100 degrees, an allergy to ingredients in vaccines, or an allergy to eggs, you should let your healthcare provider know. At Integrative Urgent Care, we can help you determine a better alternative.
The influenza virus mutates quickly, even though the antibodies created by the flu shot stay in your body for years. That’s why the flu shot is recommended annually. Your body learns to fight off the virus with the flu shot.
Since there is not a flu cure, yet, the flu shot provides the best protection for you and your family against the illness. You’ll feel relieved that you have received the added protection of the flu shot. You greatly reduce your chances of requiring flu treatment and being confined at home missing time at work or at school.
We all agree, protection against the flu is really important. To help our community, Integrative Urgent Care offers walk-in flu shots seven days a week. We make it affordable and convenient to get the flu vaccines needed, with a range of flu shots for those over 5 years of age.

A memorial service is planned for Fort Bragg City Councilman Jere Melo at 2 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Timberwolf Stadium on Chestnut Street in Fort Bragg.
The high school football stadium has been called his greatest legacy to the community since its construction was one of many efforts he undertook during his 15 years as a councilman, which also included building firehouses and public parks. Melo also served as Fort Bragg”s mayor between 2000 and 2004.
Melo, 69, was shot to death Saturday morning when he and a companion stumbled on an opium poppy garden while looking for an illicit marijuana grow site on private timber land near the Noyo River and the Skunk Train rail lines, about four miles east of Fort Bragg.
Cal Fire announced Tuesday that it closed Camp One and the public firewood gathering areas of the Jackson Demonstration State Forest until further notice, and authorities are urging the public to stay out of the entire forest while the manhunt for the alleged gunman continues.
Details about the shooting and suspect Aaron Bassler, a Fort Bragg transient in his 30s, are emerging as the Mendocino County Sheriff”s Office continues to lead the multi-agency search. The search focuses on a six-mile area from the Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg east to Northspur, in and around the forest.
“We have no reason to believe he left the forest area,” MCSO spokesman Capt. Kurt Smallcomb said Tuesday.
Melo and a friend, whose identity hasn”t been released, went into the remote, rugged terrain looking for an illicit pot garden Saturday morning, intending to report the garden”s GPS coordinates to law enforcement — something Melo did frequently in his property management capacity with a local timber company, according to Smallcomb.
The men instead found a garden of more than 100 opium poppies Bassler was allegedly growing, according to Smallcomb. He said Bassler was on higher ground and began shooting down at the men from about 10 yards away, using a high-caliber, “high-powered” long rifle of an SKS type that some said was an automatic weapon.
Smallcomb could not confirm that the weapon Bassler allegedly used was automatic, or its caliber.
Melo was unarmed, but his companion exchanged gunfire with Bassler and was then able to escape, running “a long way” before hitting a lucky break, according to Smallcomb. He met a Skunk Train rail maintenance car and rode with it, calling law enforcement on a cell phone when he reached an area with better cell reception, Smallcomb said.
Melo died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the results of a Monday autopsy.
Authorities do not believe Bassler was hired to guard the garden, but was growing it himself, according to Smallcomb. He said authorities believe Bassler was also associated with illicit marijuana growing in and around the area where Melo and his companion were searching.
“Marijuana has historically been all through the area,” Smallcomb said.
Melo would frequently search the timber land for illicit pot gardens and report their GPS coordinates to law enforcement in his property management capacity to keep the properties clean, according to Smallcomb.
“We were in weekly contact with him,” Smallcomb said.
Dan Gjerde, a fellow Fort Bragg City Councilman, posted on Facebook Tuesday that he remembered last seeing Melo at an Aug. 16 meeting the Board of Supervisors held in Fort Bragg.
“It was just days after the murder of Matt Coleman,” Gjerde writes, referring to an Aug. 11 incident where Coleman was shot and killed while conducting property management on rural property near Cape Vizcaino, between Westport and Rockport, for the Save the Redwoods League.
Bassler has a history of misdemeanor convictions dating back to 2001 and prior, according to Smallcomb. They include charges of being under the influence of drugs or alcohol and firearm-related charges, he said, including an incident earlier this year where Bassler was arrested for driving under the influence after allegedly running a truck into a middle school tennis court in Fort Bragg.
Bassler was also brought up on federal charges after he allegedly threw packages containing drawings and writings over a fence at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco in four separate 2009 incidents that each brought the city police department”s bomb squad, according to the SF Gate.
The county of Mendocino lowered its flags to half-staff in memory and honor of Jesse Pittman, a Willits U.S. Navy SEAL who was killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The flags will remain at half-staff in Melo”s memory and honor, the Mendocino County Executive Office announced Tuesday. County flags will remain at half-staff until Councilmember Melo”s interment.

Energy technology is a highly multidisciplinary subject, which extends from engineering (e.g. mechanical, chemical, civil, environmental and electrical) to economy and ecology. This course is designed for students with limited engineering knowledge. It gives a broad overview of energy technology, mainly focusing on electric power generation. Before introducing technical aspects of power generation, impacts of excessive fossil fuel consumption to the environment, such as global warming, ozone depletion, acid rain and emissive pollutants, are addressed. In addition, strategies and challenges of energy security and social justice for resource-poor countries, such as an island region of Taiwan, will be emphasized.
The students will gain comprehensive knowledge of the above listed energy technologies, in which the working principles, their practical applications and the latest progresses are emphasized. Based on the knowledge learn in the classes, the students will be aware about the pros and cons of these technologies, and be able to make their choices for selecting the most desired energy.

HOUSTON (AP) — Corey Kluber is starting to put together quite a streak.
The AL Cy Young Award winner struck out 10, dominating in the early innings and pitching the Cleveland Indians past the Houston Astros 5-4 Saturday.
The Indians ace made his 22nd straight start of allowing no more than three earned runs, breaking the team record set by Sonny Siebert in 1965.
Kluber (7-2) gave up two runs — on Carlos Correa’s eighth homer in the sixth — and six hits in seven innings. He walked none.
Kluber dominated the World Series champions in the first four innings, striking out eight in that stretch.
Alex Bregman cut the lead to 5-3 with a solo home run in the Houston eighth. After Jose Altuve doubled, Cody Allen retired Correa and Brian McCann on popups to end the eighth.
Marwin Gonzalez hit a solo home run in the ninth off Allen, pulling the Astros within one.
Allen was able to get the final two outs for his first save since April 25 and sixth of the season.
Michael Brantley got the scoring started for Cleveland in the first with his seventh home run, connecting off Dallas Keuchel (3-6). Cleveland tacked on two more runs in the inning with run-scoring doubles from Edwin Encarnacion and Jason Kipnis, making it 3-0.
Jose Ramirez had an RBI single in the fifth and Yank Gomes hit a solo home run off Joe Smith in the sixth, pushing the lead to 5-0.
Keuchel allowed four runs and six hits, striking out three in five innings. This is the first time Keuchel has given up four or more runs in a start since April 27 against Oakland.
“I felt good from the get-go,” Keuchel said. “That’s why it’s so frustrating. I come out of the game with 90-something pitches in five innings with four runs on the board. With a team like that, a couple lefties in the lineup, I should be able to navigate through and make pitches to certain guys.
“There were a few guys who I didn’t want to do damage on me, and they didn’t, but overall, a few pitches got away from me and McCann and that was the difference,” he said.
Indians: OF Lonnie Chisenhall (right calf strain) will begin his rehab assignment on Monday with Triple-A Columbus. Indians manager Terry Francona said he will play three or four innings or a couple of at-bats on Monday and then workout on Tuesday.
Astros: OF Josh Reddick (left leg irritation) was held out of the starting lineup for a second-straight day. Reddick pinch-hit in the ninth and flied out to center.
Indians: RHP Carlos Carrasco (5-2, 3.66 ERA) starts the three-game series finale on Sunday night. Carrasco is 3-1 with a 2.67 ERA in his career against Houston.
Astros: RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (5-2, 3.63 ERA) gets the start on Sunday night as he tries to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time this season. In his last start, McCullers pitched six strong innings against the Angels on May 14, giving up two runs on four hits in a 2-1 loss.

Upon the announcement of Samsung’s newest flagship, the Galaxy S III, geeks were quick to assess the beast and compare its result with other contenders (HTC One X) for the throne of the best. The Galaxy S III packs a quad-core 1.4 GHz Exynos chip, 1GB of RAM and Mali-400 MP graphics chip.
It is to be noted that the benchmark is done on a pre-production unit. Hopefully, the numbers would increase once the actual device is launched. But overall, the Galaxy S III has a potential for a bright future.

With the release of the “Into the Breeding Pits” dungeon expansion for Frostgrave, there is now a second random encounter chart to make monsters for! Featuring such clear and present dangers as bands of Gnolls, those classic skeletons, zombies and ghouls, dungeon staples such as giant rats and sewer slime, larger monsters such as minotaurs, trolls and various demons, we also might encounter the Violent Fungus!
Eat one of these to grow to giant stature!
As an aside, the popular myth of the classic red toadstool as the battle frenzy-inducing drug that Viking Berserkers ate before entering the fray has been thoroughly debunked, as the high that you get makes you uncoordinated and really bad at fighting.

William Scagel was the father of 20th century cutlery. Every modern custom knife maker owes a debt of gratitude to the the man who pioneered high quality custom knives in the United States. His attention to detail, style and functionality are legendary.
When we took on the responsibility of making Scagel® knives, we were determined to carry Bill's commitment to both form and function.
This is the first Scagel® pocket knife we had made and we are sure you will find it to be a great knife.
Bill Scagel was a master at adapting traditional designs to his own end.
This knife takes a 3 3/4" trapper style frame and adds a hefty clip and large pen blade to one end to make a very useful knife. The blades are made from superbly heat treated 1095 High Carbon Steel. The liners are steel. The Scagel® arrowhead shield is pinned in place like Scagel used to do.
The Indian Stag handle material is real quality.

Thanksgiving is one full week from today and I couldn't be more excited! While I'm not personally cooking the meal, I am going to cook parts of the meal and I've been thrilled to find some unique and delicious recipes popping up. Most of these have been pinned to my Beautiful Foods board on Pinterest so if you'd like to see more delicious recipes, check it out!!
First up is this delicious bacon stuffing. While I'm not a huge fan of onions (no thanks!) this stuffing looks amazing. Usually, I cook the stuffing on the stovetop and let it crisp up in the oven next to the bird. The flavors blend together and taste delicious!
Cranberry sauce is one of the highlights for my Thanksgiving dinner. Seriously. The canned stuff doesn't hold a candle, but it works in a bind. I prefer the crisp tartness of fresh cranberry sauce. This basic recipe is one of my favorites and always is a success as long as you don't burn it on the bottom of the pan!
Mashed potatoes and gravy from my favorite food blogger. Enough said.
Do you put a blanket of bacon on your turkey? If not, I suggest you reevaluate your life. Second favorite part of Thanksgiving, right behind the cranberry sauce!
Lastly, if I wasn't allergic to almonds, I would be devouring this beautiful dish. Pan roasted green beans with almonds. Looks delicious!

On 7 August 2018 Reuters reported: The southern Nordic fjords are heating up as Europe boils, and bacteria there are flourishing, infecting swimmers and seafood, including oysters that can take months until they are safe to eat again, Norway's food safety authority said. The warm waters in southern Norway and Sweden have accelerated the reproduction of the vibrio bacteria, a species that can cause vibriosis ...

Who can possibly forget an emotional Oz bidding ‘Auf Wiedersehen’ to his son Rod in their home City of Newcastle beneath the iconic structure of the Tyne Bridge in episode 8, ‘Marjorie Doesn't Live Here Anymore’? It’s a heartfelt scene packed with passion, sentiment and emotion.
Well we've captured its essence beautifully with our brand new Oz ‘Signature Series’ T-shirt. Each is digitally screen printed on quality heavy cotton in ‘Oz Grey’ and features one of the most poignant lines of series 2 “…never forget your roots son… you’ll always be a Geordie no matter where you go…”. For that extra touch of class, we've included the official traditional logo on the sleeve in red and black.
Please note: The Oz Signature t-shirt does not come with authentic sweat patches!

The outlet cover plate that charges everything USB - no silly hardwiring, just magic.
18,604 backers pledged $839,301 to help bring this project to life.
Installation is drop-dead simple. For real. Seriously.
Even when charging your devices, both outlets remain open and available for other uses at all times.
With custom-built components engineered to fit entirely inside the cover plate, it's the sleekest, most low profile charger around.
Its slim design allows furniture to be positioned snug against the wall. The side access to the charging port enables you to plug your USB cables in with no hassle.
If you’re picking up what we’re putting down, help us by sharing SnapPower with your friends and family!
If you're looking for hi-res pictures, you've come to the right spot! Just click HERE. If you need to get in contact, feel free to email us at kickstarter@snappower.com.
Can you install the SnapPower Charger upside down (with the USB port above the outlet)?
The SnapPower Charger is designed to work in only one orientation. The USB port is designed to be installed on the same side as the ground prongs on the outlet. For example: If the ground prongs on the outlet are facing down, the Charger will need to be installed with the USB port beneath the outlet. If the ground prongs on the outlet are facing up, then the Charger will need to be installed with the USB port above the outlet (pictured below).
We've spent a lot of time engineering a product that meets the highest standards of performance, durability and convenience. Our manufacture has been selected and we are gearing up for production. We learned a lot from our first Kickstarter campaign and look forward to delivering once again on time. With that being said, surprises can happen and we will be sure to always be transparent and inform our backers of potential hurdles that may come up.
We've finalized our production schedule and plans with experienced manufacturers to ensure that the SnapPower Charger is on schedule to deliver according to our forecast. Our team is experienced in the full spectrum of the Supply Chain process. However, unexpected shortages and delays can occur when dealing with numerous components from different suppliers. If anything does come up, we will be sure to notify our backers promptly and work quickly to resolve any issues.
STARTER PACK: 1 SnapPower Charger in your choice of three colors and two styles.

Ordered a tub too, want to see for myself what this miracle stuff is all about.
Got the Easter Special BigEgg/EggWig build underway... Shell's rough cut, cleaning it up next. At this rate, I'll run out of build before I run out of weekend.
This looks perfectly square. You could fit a cab to either end... Or one to each.
A Bigwig, matching paint, servo, Rx, bearings... Dunno about your part of the world, but around here there's a very long weekend coming up, and since I always thought the Bigwig was a bit of an easter egg, it seemed perfect for the occasion. Plus, it is the only re-re buggy I haven't built yet, or the last one I'm going to build, depends on how you look at it, until Tamiya re-releases some more, so a major christian holiday four-day weekend suits the occasion just fine, too. Now that I think about it, why did I only buy ONE kit?!
Uh, there goes that excuse. I guess I have to get one now.
I have a SCB, but this spot just calls for something much faster... but... Traxxas? Somehow, I just can't get used to the idea of RTR.
Finally, the need for an amphibious high-speed monster truck has arisen.
Performed 2WD re-re shelfer preventive maintenance and cleanup. All dusted off and spotlessly clean, fully serviced and tested and all ready to go... back on the shelf.
My thoughts exactly. How can they sell something like this, when it plain and simple just doesn't work. In my case, shortened shocks, bolted-thru metal P-Plates, Frog shafts, O-rings and new trailing arms every couple of runs weren't enough to solve the issue. I'm running vintage Thorp telescopic shafts now.
I don't know much about bicycles, but my bike is still faster than yours, 'cause it has flashing blue lights! Seriously. Retired Police patrol bicycle, bought at auction from a small beach town in Florida. Probably not very high end, but hey, those are battery powered strobes!
Forget the video, these pics cannot be outdone! I want a hig-res poster sized print of the last one!
The two of you, myself, Volkswagen, Ronal, HPI and the Nineties as a whole really ought to be ashamed of ourselves for letting this happen in the first place and especially for bringing it up again 25 years later.
Went to my LHS determined to try something new, hung out with the owner for over an hour who brought out and showed me just about every single Traxxas ever made, plus several brands I hadn't even heard of before, and the only thing that remotely caught my eye was Tamiya's XV-01 Lancia... Dunno. RTR simply doesn't work for me. Left without buying anything.
Oh no, don't go all 70s conversion van on this! Keep it cargo and business I say, vans deserve better than to be permanently associated with the worst decade in automobile history. No windows, no murals, just paint it all white, put on a roof rack with a ladder, some utility company logos on the sides and maybe an amber lightbar.

Breaking Bad – arguably one of the most popular and loved shows around the globe!
I’m Darragh Cooney, a 16 year old Graphic Design student from London, UK and I have designed some unique tees and jumpers for Breaking Bad! Check them out?!
Andy: I don’t want to be too harsh here, because I’m 30 and Darragh is 16 and I know I didn’t have these kind of skill at his age. At the same time though, I don’t think that this work is original enough to be trying to sell it, if someone at AMC saw it they’ve fire off a DMCA takedown to DBH and the design would be gone. This kind of thing is good for learning and gaining new skills but it might not be a good idea to make it available for purchase.
Next post: Artist has unique flavor of deisgn graphics!

Juan José Rebollo published an article in March 2019.
Energy dissipation structures play an important role in flood risk management. Many variables need to be considered for the design of these structures. Aeration has been one of the more studied phenomena over the last years, due to its influence in the performance of hydraulic structures. The purpose of the work presented in this article is to experimentally characterize the effects of aeration on boundary friction in supercritical and fully turbulent flows. The physical model used to analyze the aeration effects consists of a spillway chute 6.5 m high and a stilling basin of 10 m length and 2 m high. A pump and compressor supply the water-air mixture and are controlled at the entrance by valves and flowmeters. The ensuing channel is monitored to determine the velocity profile and air concentration of the flow into the stilling basin. The average values of both variables and Manning’s coefficient along the channel are used to determine the relation between air concentration and energy dissipation by friction. A velocity increase with greater air entrainment has been found in all scenarios since friction is the main energy dissipation mechanism in open channels flow. Finally, an equation is proposed to characterize this evolution based on the results obtained.

Oh, and I apologize for the imperfect pictures… it seems as though I’m not very skilled at stirring without making a mess.
Put pre-soaked oats into a microwaveable-safe bowl, and combine them with the protein powder, water, and chia seeds. Stir well.
Microwave on high for two minutes, pausing halfway through to stir. Make sure to watch closely, so they don’t boil over and make a mess!
Remove bowl from microwave and top with Peanut Butter and banana slices.
This breakfast takes very little time to make and is delicious enough to motivate me to get out of bed early in the morning! Plus, it keeps me full for a long time, thanks to the protein from the protein powder, fibre from the steel cut oats, and healthy fat from the Peanut Butter!
Also, if you’re not a banana fan, you will find that this dish is just as good without the banana, although I highly recommend it.
Question: Do you like the Peanut Butter /Chocolate/ Banana combo?
Will totally try this! Looks amazing!

Video surveillance technology continues to evolve at a strong pace with improvements in resolution, integration, intelligence and bandwidth utilisation – all of which contribute to better overall security and cost-efficiency. As the video surveillance category continues to grow, we spoke with Jeff Whitney, Arecont Vision’s Vice President of Marketing, about some of the factors driving the market.
There continues to be a great deal of discussion about the reality of implementing integrated system solutions that provide some form of predictive analysis. On this front, new software integrations designed specifically for enterprise-level security are capable of analysing big data gathered from multiple sources to identify abnormal behaviours and automatically notify security personnel of potential issues.
IP technologies and systems represent one of the most significant trends to impact the professional security industry to date. Having gained considerable traction in recent years, IP system deployments are being driven today primarily by the increased demand for megapixel camera imaging performance. In addition to their performance advantages, megapixel cameras provide security professionals with a tangible return on investment (ROI) versus conventional cameras, says Whitney. “They deliver cost savings by reducing the number of cameras needed to cover an area, and by reducing the need for operators to handle large numbers of video streams – both of which provide a compelling value proposition,” he says.
As IP security technologies continue to make gains in both popularity and market share, IT networks have become increasingly vital to security functions. Improvements in IT network technology and platforms, such as servers, storage, networks and software, have contributed to lowering the cost of bandwidth and storage, and by extension lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) for megapixel IP camera systems. This has led IT professionals and leaders to take greater ownership of the security infrastructure.
Continued education and support from manufacturers like Arecont Vision can provide security professionals with a bridge to future business development. “I encourage them to take advantage of these valuable resources so they can remain relevant in this rapidly-changing marketplace,” says Whitney.
Several key growth markets are primed for dealers and integrators to pursue across all global regions, according to Whitney. They include banking, city/municipal surveillance, education (K-12 and higher education), retail and healthcare. There are also numerous other opportunities that require more specialised skillsets such as process management surveillance systems, or are that focus on specific applications like data centres, critical infrastructure and sports stadiums/venues, he adds.
“We continue to see a pent-up demand for advanced surveillance systems driven by the desire to apply video for purposes outside of traditional security such as improving customer service, identifying inefficient processes, and ensuring compliance with corporate/industry or government regulations,” says Whitney.
A number of technologies have contributed to improving the performance of video surveillance systems with higher value propositions in the past year. For example, a number of manufacturers introduced cameras that offer ultra-HD 4K resolution in 2014-15. More efficient compression technologies are currently emerging, particularly the H.265 high efficiency video codec (HVEC). These technologies allow for more bandwidth and storage-friendly deployment of 4K, and higher-resolution megapixel and HD video solutions. This also includes accelerated deployment of high performance single- and multi-sensor megapixel panoramic cameras, which continue to gain popularity for wide area surveillance applications across virtually every market category.
A third technology that has positively impacted video security this year is greatly improved low-light performance. “Advancements in this critical area will continue to drive the deployment of smarter and more efficient integrated security solutions,” says Whitney.
These key trends made 2015 another incredible year for the professional surveillance and security market, Whitney contents. He says end users were the biggest winners, as new products and integrated systems continue to push performance boundaries, and provide better overall security that strives to help prevent incidents, as opposed to simply witnessing and recording them.

I've got a hypothesis about how a regular person could develop telepathy. I know it's probably wrong, and I encourage compitent individuals to poke holes in, and totally shatter this theory. Seriously, I want to have a better idea of this.
I consider some forms of ESP valid. Telepathy being one of them. Considering that we use a tiny portion of our brain, it is possible that we all have the potential to work on a much higher mental level. Knowing that we can increase the power and flexibility of our bodies, this should (theoretically) carry through to our brains. If we were to gain enough information to reach our brain's limit, and we were to continue to push the limit like people do in their physical training, it is possible (over time) to open up a new section of our brains to pick up for what it currently cannot do. This could possibly open up areas involving telepathy.
There it is. Like I said, feel free to shoot it down.
BTW, that "using a tiny portion of our brain" thing is a myth. We use all of our brain. If we didn't, it would be unnecessary wasted space.
Emmm.... no, not quite. What James was attempting to point out is that the idea that only a relatively tiny portion of the human brain is used is actually a myth - we do actively use all of our brain, just not necessarily all of it all at the same time.
Simply because our minds can imagine it possesses greater powers doesn't necessarily follow that actually they do. We just like to think it.
That's a good point. I suppose no one really knows for a fact that there are special abilities that can be attained. But on the same note, there's no proof that we don't have latent abilities, waiting to be used. Unless there's some article that I haven't seen, and there's a pretty good chance of it. I don't claim to know everything.
http://www.psipog.net/ or http://skepdic.com/? One says you can, one says you can't. I can't say much either way at this point.
Jeez! You act like you just said you were gay or something.
Of course there is ESP and telepathy. Of course it can be developed. There is lots of literature about how to do it. Go practice kung fu or yoga or do some of that new age stuff. You have to be patient. Might take 3 or 5 years. That is nothing compared to the length of your life.
Be reasonable about your expectations too. It is not Hollywood razzle dazzle like in the X men movies.
We have an organ in our brain which can send and receive thoughts. People don't know they own such an organ, but it will be awakened later. It has fallen into a latent state because of a crossbreeding between a primitive and a highly developed human race long ago.
To send a thought to someone you have to think about the person, then feel the person, then be the person. Easier said than done.
To receive a telepathic thought you have to empty yourself of all thoughts, otherwise you'll not hear it.
Telepathy works best on the night when the body is asleep and the 'spirit' is awake.
an organ in my head other than my brain?
Deep meditation is the usually suggested method to develop telepathy and other psi related skills.
That's a good point. I suppose no one really knows for a fact that there are special abilities that can be attained. g.
What makes you say that? I am someone. I tell you for fact that people can have telepathy.
It is your choice to believe or disbelieve just like it is your choice to believe or disbelieve that the sky is blue.
I swear people are lemmings. I have been on the internet for about 10 years. In those 10 years, you know what? When I post that people have telepathy, 98% of the lemmings out there in internet world post that link.
Why are people so purposefully stupid?
If I could read minds, 1 million dollars is a joke. I can go to wall street and make billions.
If I was naive, I would beleive that randi was real and would give me the money. Instead of believeing randi is a front organization that searches the populace for people who beleive they are telepathic. If they pass the test, the government contacts them and who knows what happens. Didn't you see how the government treated telepaths in Babylon 5? That is exactly how it would go down.
Stop being so gullible. Wake up and realize that the people you trust want you to be a cattle so they can own you. They want you to work and pay taxes while they eat caviar and drink champagne. They would tell you any lie that you wanted to hear if it meant that you never bothered them and you continued to give them 50% of your yearly wages in taxes.
Developing telepathy? It'll never happen. But rest assured, there are many, many people lined up waiting to take your money to "teach you how." You can buy books, attend seminars, etc, etc. But in the end, you'll still be the same guessing person you were before.
People who are misguided enough to actually believe they have telepathy are the kinds of people who remember the hits and forget the misses in life. They notice that which is of the slightest significance in life and think it was all because of them. But the fact is that humans are pattern seeking animals and we will find the correlations in everything from the scorch marks on a tortilla that look like a messiah to the last meal eaten when pitching a no-hitter. Thinking about a loved one who suddenly calls by phone is an immediate proof of telepathy, in spite of the fact that the many, many times that loved one didn't call when thought of is completely ignored.
What would be significant is if there weren't coincidences.
Telepathy. Yeah, right. Wanna buy a book on the subject?
Of course there is ESP and telepathy. Of course it can be developed. There is lots of literature about how to do it... I tell you for fact that people can have telepathy.
1 million dollars is a joke. I can go to wall street and make billions.
So, why aren't all those people making billions on Wall Street from telepathy? Why hasn't anyone successfully taken the 1 million dollar challenge and walked away with that?
Why, instead, are they trying to sell you literature on telepathy?
Because telepaths are altruistic and don't want fame, of course. They just seek status among internet peers by boasting of their claims. The money made on books barely covers their expenses: publishing, a new home, a Lexis, the new plasma screen, ..... you know, the basic expenses of living.
Or the alternative hypothesis: there is no telepathy and those that claim there is simply want to steal hard-earned money from gullible muggles willing to give it to them.
If 98% of the lemmings out there are delivering the same exact message then thats a significant agreement amongst the lemming population. Rarely (if ever) do agreements reach such high statistical results. Maybe the message of such a statistical anomoly should be examined more closely?
Because they accept assertions as true based on attractiveness / authority rather than evidence.
Show me the results of this prediction with people whom can read minds.
Yes, a fantasy television show is a great way to judge reality.
I pay 30% of my annual wages in taxes (which is reasonable for all the services provided), I drink champagne, eat caviar, and aside from the occasional jury duty request, my government isn't asking me for any special favors.
As we have entered the Era of Global Terrorism it is necessary for people to use all their senses for survival and this includes the much derided 6th sense also known as intuition. There are times when logical reasoning thought is countered by a little unexplained doubt urging caution. Listen to that "inner voice" in the Era of Global Terrorism your life may depend on it. The "inner voice" is not permission to harm other people; it is your cue to walk away from what maybe a very dangerous situation. Listen to the doubt.
If your "inner voice" is telling you to hurt yourself or to harm other people seek professional help.
Intuition maybe the survival skill of the 21st century. Learn to listen for it. All you need to do is be quiet and listen for the "inner voice". Taking a moment to do this is not an arduous task, pausing before doing something just maybe very good for your health as well.
Intuition is a far different thing than telepathy. Moreover, there are more than just 6 senses.

NEW South Dakota Video Tours are constantly being added to this page.
The Black Hills (Ȟe Sápa in Lakota, Moʼȯhta-voʼhonáaeva in Cheyenne, awaxaawi shiibisha in Hidatsa) are a small, isolated mountain range rising from the Great Plains of North America in western South Dakota and extending into Wyoming, United States. Harney Peak, which rises to 7,244 feet (2,208 m), is the range's highest summit. The Black Hills encompass the Black Hills National Forest. The name "Black Hills" is a translation of the Lakota Pahá Sápa. The hills were so-called because of their dark appearance from a distance, as they were covered in trees. Native Americans have a long history in the Black Hills. After conquering the Cheyenne in 1776, the Lakota took over the territory of the Black Hills, which became central to their culture. In 1868, the U.S. government signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, exempting the Black Hills from all white settlement forever. However, when European Americans discovered gold there in 1874, as a result of George Armstrong Custer's Black Hills Expedition, miners swept into the area in a gold rush. The US government reassigned the Lakota, against their wishes, to other reservations in western South Dakota. Unlike most of South Dakota, the Black Hills were settled by European Americans primarily from population centers to the west and south of the region, as miners flocked there from earlier gold boom locations in Colorado and Montana.

Plain white t-shirt is a must-have in every closet. No doubt. But sometimes do you find it too plain or casual?
Well, one way to dress up a plain white t-shirt is to throw in a blazer or pair it with tailored pants. There are a lot of ways to dress up this classic piece. But what if you just don’t want to think of your pairings but still want a trusty white shirt?
Pieces like this are dressy as it is so there’s no need to put an effort on what to pair it with. I’ve been stuffing my closet with this kind of tops, in case you haven’t noticed. Hehe!
I even paired it with kicks and I think it still does not look too casual, right?
So, what do you think? Would you wear this?

The answer is surprisingly simple The ship's steel hull forms a shape that displaces - pushes aside - much water.The same amount of steel reshaped into a Have you ever wondered why a large steel ocean liner floats, but a small steel nail sinks? The answer is surprisingly simple The ship's steel hull forms a shape that displaces - pushes aside - much water.The same amount of steel reshaped into a giant nail would sink, of course, like the regular sized nail. This demonstrates that whether an object floats depends on both its weight and how much water it displaces- its volume.You can state the principle of buoyancy this way An object placed in tuater is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the quantity of water it displaces.

Common macular degeneration symptoms include distortion of straight lines, dark spots and other vision issues.
Macular degeneration symptoms often appear gradually, and in the early stages of the disease, there may be no significant changes in vision.
Dry macular degeneration symptoms: These are not always noticeable in the early stages, because this form of the disease can affect one eye only. In this case, the good eye may compensate for the weak eye, and your vision will not appear compromised until the disease advances.
Wet macular degeneration symptoms: In this form of the disease, macular degeneration symptoms may appear abruptly and progress rapidly.
You can assess your vision for distortion and other common macular degeneration symptoms by taking the Amsler Grid test at home. This tool helps to assess early vision loss as well as the progression of macular degeneration for those who have already been diagnosed. It is very important that you check one eye at a time by covering each eye to assess vision loss in the other.

Noise Festival, the UK’s first cross media festival, launched in style last week with an event at Urbis. Young creative types from across the country have been submitting their work to Noise since February, and now this month will see the thousands of entries showcased and up for public voting.
Noise is an arts festival with a difference. Having no physical location, the central hub of activity is the Noise website at www.noisefestival.com. The website serves as a platform to showcase the works, which cover fashion, film, music, design, architecture, written word, and are all created by up and coming creative geniuses.
To mark the festival going live online, Noise held a launch party last week at Urbis, with an exhibition showcasing some of the festival’s highlights.
Introducing the event was festival organiser Denise Proctor, with speeches from design curator Wayne Hemingway and a live video link speech from MTV’s Senior Vice President of Creative and Marketing International, Cristian Jofre. The event was also attended by Peter Saville, who took the opportunity to meet the artists whose work he most admired.
The event closed with live performances from a fantastic up and coming Manchester band International One (www.internationalone.co.uk) who have recently been in the studio recording with Phil Vinall – producer of Radiohead, Pulp and Snow Patrol, and Raxstar, the winner of BBC Radio 1’s best unsigned act award in 2005.
Noise festival is now live online at www.noisefestival.com, for the public to vote for their favourite submissions.
“Any notion of competitiveness needs to be put to one side, we need to create this platform that draws attention to new creative talent. Ultimately if only four of 4,000 submissions get the opportunity to move on and find the next stage in life through Noise then the whole project is a success” said Peter Saville, graphic design curator for Noise.
The opening at the Urbis was the first in a series of Noise events taking place across the country throughout October.

Recently I was gifted a brand new LG Spectrum 4G Android Phone and I love it!!! In the spirit of full disclosure my last phone would overheat and just shut down randomly. So some of my fascination could just be in my judgement the LG Spectrum 4G Android Phone really is a solid piece of technology!
At first look this is a sturdy phone! I am a little paranoid but I always really protect my tech… except this time. It feels solid in my hand and is big enough that you don’t feel like you will drop it easily. The screen is Corning’s Gorilla Glass. So that is pretty hard to scratch! The glare is pretty minimal in the sunlight and the resolution is very crisp. With a screen of 4.5 inches, the screen actually functional. I don’t want to have to squint or scroll a ton to see anything! It actually becomes more functional due to the size and readability alone.
Then there are the insides to take into consideration. This thing is fast and runs clean! It has an updated Gingerbread OS and has no problems keeping up with me at all! There isn’t a lot of memory built into the phone (4 gb) but it comes with a 16gb sd card! I have loaded it up with apps and music and there is still plenty of room.
Then there is one of my favorite things. The built in rear facing camera is 8 mega pixels! To compare, my Canon point and shoot only has 10. It also will take 1080p video too. It has a forward facing camera too but it isn’t quite as good.
I have become so much more productive since I have started using the Spectrum! I am able to write on it (I am writing this on it:), take pictures on it and even vlog from it. I am also traveling lighter. No longer do I have to carry a purse large enough to also hold of camera and a Flip camera.
My final analysis? A definite thumbs up! It gives me a solid performance. It is like carrying a little, but sturdy computer that fits in my girlie pockets.

The Under Armour Curry One “Splash Party” made its debut after Stephen Curry turned 27 years old. Originally, the story of the “Splash Party” Curry One began as an exclusive made especially for Steph’s 27th birthday in March of 2015. Release or not, there is no denying that the white colorway that featured a confetti inspired multi-colored inner lining and midsole speckles, along with chromed out TPU heel counter and blue accents, was one of the most popular Curry One colorways amongst sneakerheads. After Curry was seen playing in the Splash Party Curry One a few times, it was rumored that a release would make the thought-to-be player exclusive available to fans. Then Steph laced up the Splash Party Curry One in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, solidifying the need for Warriors fans and sneaker collectors to have a pair. The Curry One Splash Party released as a part of the “Championship” Curry One pack in October of 2015 in extremely limited quantities and then UA followed up in November with a release of the Splash Party Curry on its own in November. Despite the months of anticipation and questioning, and multiple releases, the Under Armour Curry One “Splash Party” remained one of the most popular Curry One colorways amongst sneaker enthusiasts.

Beech class had a very practical Science lesson building their own working model of the circulatory system. They had to think about how they could get their 'heart' to pump the blood around their double loop system using tubing to represent their veins, arteries and capillaries.
We learned about the different components found in our blood by making our own fake blood. We used yellow food colouring and water to represent the plasma, cheerios dyed red to represent the red blood cells, mini marshmallows to represent the white blood cells and finally strawberry laces to represent the sticky platelets. We weren't so keen on the smell it created when mixed together, but it helped us to remember lots of important facts about our blood.
Working scientifically to investigate the sugar content of different drinks. Some drinks shocked us by looking like a healthy choice, but actually containing more than double the recommended daily guideline amount of sugar for a child of our age!
We worked in groups to investigate the average heart rates for different groups of people or animals. We were amazed to find out that a mouse's heart beats on average 500 times a minute, whilst an elephant's only beats 28 beats a minute.

A science fiction that addresses the Fermi paradox in an innovative way is always a welcome contribution to my reading list. This book had two things that I liked. First, how it describes a situation where we knew that there is life in the universe, but we are too late. To get to know a future where we are traveling around ruins of earlier civilizations is an interesting angle. Second, how a society grapples with a catastrophic challenge that will happen in a thousand years, but were actions probably is needed now in order to avoid the catastrophe (and to make things more interesting the probability for humanity managing the challenge is low based on existing data). The parallel to climate change is obvious, but the setting is so different that it feels fresh. The fact that we do not understand the threat and the book never reveals it is also interesting. We are so used to stories when we get the answer in the end (or more correct before the end when it comes to this kind of threat). The actual mechanism in this case is not the most important, especially as no explanation is provided (at least not in this book). What I find clever and interesting is how mankind would react (and get used to) a universe filled with civilizations that are dead and not understanding a threat to human existence. Adding to this a countdown clock (that gives us 1000 years or more) and we have a very interesting situation.
It’s not great literature, but enough interesting ideas to make it a good read.

Modern electronics relies on ultrafast charge motion on ever shorter length scales. Physicists from Regensburg and Gothenburg have now succeeded in resolving a key quantum motion of electrons in atomically thin crystals on the time scale of a single oscillation cycle of light. They directly observe, how the electron in a bound electron-hole pair jumps from one atomic layer to the next, creating a pair of charge carriers in a long-distance relationship, a so-called "interlayer exciton".
For important applications, such as solar cells, however, electrons and holes need to be spatially separated. This is achieved by stacking two different dichalcogenides on top of each other. Physicists from Regensburg led by Professors Rupert Huber, Tobias Korn, John Lupton and Christian Schüller have now observed this charge separation of excitons across only two atomically thin layers in collaboration with Professor Ermin Malic's group at Chalmers University in Sweden. They excited electrons by ultrashort light pulses creating excitons selectively only in one of the two layers. If these excitons remain within this layer, they are very short-lived, because electrons and holes recombine very rapidly with the electron returning to its initial position. In a layered sample structure, on the other hand, the electron can also jump into the adjacent layer – a spatially separated, so-called interlayer exciton forms.
The scientists were able to observe the behavior of these interlayer excitons during and after their formation. They used a home-built super slow-motion camera to study processes taking place within a few femtoseconds - the millionth part of a billionth of a second. "For the first time worldwide, we observed the formation process of an interlayer exciton and measured how strongly electrons and holes remain bound," says Philipp Merkl, first author of the publication. In addition, the researchers were able to systematically influence the dynamics of the formation process. To this end, they used another special feature of the layered heterostructures: they twisted the two layers with respect to each other. This changes the electronic and optical properties of the resulting structure, which in turn governs the charge transfer.
P. Merkl, F. Mooshammer, P. Steinleitner, A. Girnghuber, K.-Q. Lin, P. Nagler, J. Holler, C. Schüller, J. M. Lupton, T. Korn, S. Ovesen, S. Brem, E. Malic and R. Huber; "Ultrafast transition between exciton phases in van der Waals heterostructures"; Nature Materials; 2019.

It’s done. The closing is over, the keys are in your hands and the movers are just pulling up with your stuff. For a first-time homeowner move in day is a truly exciting, busy time.
As that excitement begins to calm a little many first time homeowners begin to realise that they have a lot more responsibility now than they did when renting their home or living with Mom and Dad. Too bad a house doesn’t come with an owner’s manual. And a week-long seminar where you learn what every button, switch, and wire is for. Alas, the keys to your new home come with no troubleshooting guide and it’s often not too long before you discover that there is a lot for you to learn, maybe more than you expected.
The drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet can be one of the most annoying sounds in the world. This particular type of water torture is usually due to a failed washer inside a handle. The faucet is just the messenger, the problem lies elsewhere.
To try the DIY route to stopping the annoying drip is actually easier than you might think. To replace a washer, turn off the water supply valve under the sink. Stuff a rag in the drain so you don’t lose parts, then take the handle apart. Pop the screw cover on top, remove the screw, and pull off the handle. Disassemble the stem, using a wrench, and line the parts up on the counter in the order you take them off, so you’ll know how it goes back together. Examine rubber parts or plastic cartridges for cracks, and take the offending piece to the hardware store for an exact replacement. Reassemble the parts you’ve laid out, working in reverse.
There it goes again, the pop of another lightbulb burning out far faster than the package says it should have done. The cause of premature lightbulb death is usually pretty basic though. Often the little brass tab inside the lamp socket that makes contact with the bulb base is dirty or bent, interrupting the connection and causing the filament to imperceptibly flash on and off, shortening its life.
To fix this issue, with the fixture unplugged or the circuit breaker switched off, clean the tab with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol; then nudge it up with a screwdriver so that it stays in contact with the bulb base.
You have a great new shelf to hang in your new bathroom. Or a fantastic rack for the kitchen wall you were lucky enough to stumble across at a yard sale. You want to hang it as soon as possible, but you are afraid of cracking that lovely wall tile. Do things the right way though and that won’t happen.
To get started, arm yourself with a drywall screw and a hammer. Place the tip of the screw exactly where you want to drill, then tap it ever so gently with the hammer to pierce the glaze and create a little divot. Now load a masonry bit into your drill driver and use the divot to hold it in place as you start drilling. No fissures, no scratches, no fuss.
When you were handed the keys to your new home, you were handed a lot of them. Some for the exterior doors that went right on your keyring and then a bunch for interior doors that you put in a drawer, somewhere. The problem is now that your three-year-old niece was exploring your new place and has accidentally locked herself in the bathroom and is screaming blue murder.
To solve the problem right away look on the door’s knob or on the plate around it and you should see a small hole that’s made just for this situation. Take a slim piece of metal, such as a small flathead screwdriver, and slip it in the hole. Compress the spring inside or slip the screwdriver head into the slot on the spring and turn. The door will open, the drama will be over and you’ll then be able to write yourself a memo to go through that pile of keys and finally sort out what opens what.
When you finally get around to putting in that new dimmer switch for the living room, you won’t want to be bamboozled by a poorly labeled breaker box. Forget making paper charts though, write directly on the metal next to each switch with a fine indelible marker. Have a partner, friend or other helpful soul plug lamps into all the sockets in a room and tell you via cell phone which ones go dark when you flip a switch. Then, be specific (“sofa and window walls only” or “kitchen minus fridge”) when you jot it down.

Chef Peter Morris, executive chef of Woody’s which is scheduled to open in Tinton Falls, will be featured tonight (July 30) at 10 p.m. on the Beat Bobby Flay show on the Food Network.
In the episode, Morris faced off against Tex-mex chef Gregory Webb as they competed to make a winning dish featuring pomegranate.
“I thought wow, how am I going to make pomegranate the focus?” said Morris of Freehold who’s dish was judged by New York City chef celebrities Scott Conant and Geoffrey Zakarian.
In the competition, Morris, former chef de cuisine at Langosta Lounge in Asbury Park, created a pomegranate focused dish with poached shrimp in a pomegranate stock, a curry with pomegranates and a pomegranate molasses finish. Despite not moving ahead to “beat Bobby Flay” in the next round, Morris learned a lot about the hard work and attention to detail that comes with TV production.
Morris originally caught the show’s attention in October where he was then vetted through a lengthy process including phone and Skype interviews, pictures of his dishes along with countless applications.
Food Network picked up him and his wife, Lauren, and drove them into to the New York City based Food Network studio.
“There was a lot of waiting, but it was really interesting to see the behind the scenes of a popular show,” Morris said.
As for future endeavors, Morris is focusing on getting everything “squared away” for his position as executive chef at Woody’s second location in Tinton Falls.

With the start of fall and winter, it is time to put away your flip flops and pull out your jackets and umbrella. The cooler weather also brings in the wet season, making it the perfect time to make sure that your house is safe from any flooding. Keep these home maintenance tips in mind to make sure that your basement is not ruined by a flood.
Clear out any debris that is in your rain gutters and make sure that your downspouts are facing away from your house. Backed up rain gutters can easily cause water to back up into the walls of your house, causing serious damage.
Make sure that all downspouts extend at least six feet away from the foundation of your house and that they are not connected to any underground dry wells or foundation footer drain tiles.
Check your basement floor and walls for any cracks or damage, as well as the exterior foundation. If you find any small cracks, you can fill them with epoxy or masonry sealer. For any big issues, you should call in the professionals.
During the first heavy rainstorm, take a look at your yard. If you find any water is pooling around your house, hire an excavation contractor or landscaper to direct the water in the opposite direction.
Properly install a sump pump in your basement. During the rainy season, check the pump once a month to make sure that it is completely free of any debris.
It is important to keep in mind that your home insurance policy will not provide any coverage for damage that is done during a flood. Only a specific flood insurance policy can provide coverage. Contact Kurt Rolf Insurance Agency in Hopkins, Minnesota for all of your flood and homeowners insurance coverage needs.

a crowdfunding story telling that the war was won with the support of the people.
by celebrating an important day for turkey we aimed to promote our brand and its service. we wanted to remind people of turkey’s national values, history and social solidarity.
we emphasized that crowdfunding concept is not foreign to turkish culture. on the contrary, it’s in turkey’s cultural codes as in the example of turkish war of independence.
during the war, thousands of people donated whatever they had in their hands and played an important role in winning the war. based on that, the video depicts how this unity help a nation come through triumphantly like crowdfunding does.

This is of course risky business, so unless you are feeling lucky or have a ton of dough to throw about, really feel totally free to opportunity it. Bets can be produced in multiples of a hundred, so you can usually play it safe. You can invest into acquiring valuable metals like gold, silver, copper, aluminium, getting oil which is these days extremely cheap, scrap metal, timber and coal are also great to make money on. These sort of investments yield wonderful quantity of funds but they also call for critical investment on your part. Often when you kill somebody you will get the income they drop (remember to truly pick it up).

First they bought Skyera, erstwhile all flash array startup. Now WD's HGST unit is buying Amplidata, a scale-out object storage software vendor. Is the world's largest disk drive vendor moving into the storage systems business or not?
For those coming in late, HGST is the mashup of Hitachi's former disk business with IBM's former disk business. Western Digital bought HGST a couple of years ago, and is keeping the respected HGST brand alive.
Skyera was a late-entry into the all-flash array market that HGST bought last year. While it wasn't clear if Skyera had shipped a v1.0 product, the buy was surprising because, traditionally, drive vendors have not competed with their storage system customers.
But the reasons for that traditional non-compete stance are fading. All major drive buyers want a 2nd source, but with only 2.5 drive vendors - WD, Seagate and Toshiba - drive buyers can't threaten to walk away.
How does Amplidata, a Belgian object storage software company that I've done work for, fit with HGST's plans? Object storage is optimized for large data stores - 500TB and up - where disk drives will be the storage medium of choice.
HGST has publicly stated their intent to enter the active archive market where Amplidata is a great fit. But how far will they go?
The could package up an HGST-branded archive product. They could offer an unbranded version for resellers. Or they could simply offer the software.
Both WD and Seagate have enjoyed great success with their branded consumer storage products. It's looking like WD would like to extend their reach into the enterprise with the Skyera and Amplidata acquisitions.
The critical issue is how the products get sold to enterprises. HGST has no enterprise sales force and they are expensive to hire.
I'm betting that they will use resellers and service providers to reach the market. When they make a product announcement we'll see if WD has finally broken the long time taboo against competing with customers.
Comments welcome as always. The storage market keeps getting more interesting.

An accident involving a large truck, such as a tractor-trailer or semi truck, can be devastating for all drivers or any passengers involved. While some truck accidents are caused by driver error or defective equipment, improper cargo loading can be at fault.
When a truck accident is caused by improper cargo loading, someone needs to be held liable. A legal professional is a valuable asset in recovering compensation following a truck accident.
When cargo isn’t loaded according to regulations, the risk of an accident increases. Improperly loaded or overloaded cargo can increase the number of risks. Loading too much cargo can add excessive weight to a truck, which may put it at risk for a tire blowout or tipping over in a turn.
But the greatest risk of improperly loaded cargo is that it may shift during transport. A cargo shift can be extremely dangerous for an already large and heavy truck, and may lead to multiple types of truck accidents.
If any of the above occurs, other drivers are a high risk of being involved in the accident.
If an accident caused by improperly loaded cargo occurs, injuries can be severe. If an improperly loaded trucks hits another vehicle, experiences a rollover, or drops cargo from the truck, other drivers risk sustaining injuries such as these.
Sadly, accidents involving large trucks often cause injuries that result in permanent disability or long-term impairment and complication. Spinal cord injuries, for one, can result in permanent paralysis.
If you’ve been in a truck accident, seeking compensation for your injuries can be complicated. If the accident was caused by improperly loaded or overloaded cargo, a variety of people or entities could be held responsible for your injuries.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has very explicit cargo securement and loading rules. if these rules were violated, then one of the above responsible parties will most likely be held liable.
If any of the above parties are found liable, then you can recover damages for the harm that you’ve suffered. Damages may be payable for your medical expenses and lost wages, as well as personal emotional distress or pain and suffering.
If you want to pursue a personal injury suit for damages, you have two years from the date of injury to do so, according to Chapter 55 – Title 42 of Pennsylvania Code. An attorney can help you get started.
Because of the statute of limitations, which limits the time you have to recover compensation, it’s important that you contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible. If you have been injured in a truck accident, or if you have lost a loved one in a truck accident caused by improperly loaded cargo, the attorneys at Cordisco & Saile LLC, can help.
Our attorneys understand how troubling being in an accident can be, and how traumatic it is to be injured or lose a loved one. To help you recover the sum of money that you’re entitled, our team is ready to help. We can guide you through the process of filing a claim. For help today, call us now at 215-642-2335.

Unfortunately, he's apologizing to the wrong viewers.
JW: Possibly a little too warmly. But what I was trying to do – and I would say this in mitigation – is puncture an atmosphere which developed,I thought, during this broadcast and which I think does occasionally develop on the BBC, and on other broadcasting outlets, where there is a kind of cosy feeling that somehow if only America would behave differently, then everything in the world would be fine. I think that is a view which does annoy and upset Americans, as I said it did. And it's not just the White House - it is a broader thing than that - and also a view which is, to put it mildly, open to challenge, and that's what I hoped to do, so to the extent that I upset people, I do apologize for that and I would ask them to listen to the range of work that I do, because America is such an important place I am on the radio pretty much every day, and I don’t think they could generally accuse me of being someone who is pro-American. In fact, most of the work that I do, frankly, is sceptical, certainly about the Bush administration and, to a wider extent, about American policies and motives. But I do think occasionally, and I would reserve this, in the context of a discussion that is an open, free discussion, not a news program, I do think it is important that we keep an eye on this tendency that I think we do sometimes have just to throw up our hands and take the easy road, which is to suggest that everything would be fine if only the Americans behaved better.
RB: You think there’s a double standard operating, effectively?
JW: I don't think there's a double-standard at a conscious level. I don't think the BBC has a double standard. I've never been told what to say one way or the other.
RB: But you're saying there's a greater readiness to criticize America than there is to criticize China, or perhaps Saudi Arabia or countries in the Middle East?
JW: And the reason is, I think, that it's easier, that we have a problem reporting open societies, particularly in a time of great international turmoil and war. It's just easier to criticize, it's easier to get access to information, it's easier to find people within the society who are intensely critical of it. Yet when you think of China, when you think of the Taliban in Afghanistan, who are still operating on the fringes of society in Afghanistan,when you think of the situation in Iran it's just more difficult to get a handle on what's going on in those places. And I think there is a tendency, which we always have to guard against, of being tougher on democratic societies simply because it's easier.
Frankly, the only thing surprising about JW's lack of impartiality in the offending piece was that it resulted in him defending America rather than joining in the attacks on it. And TAE for one would be more than happy to testify to the fact that JW's regular work on the BBC belies any accusation that he might be pro-American. It is notable that, after spending most of his on-air time annoying and upsetting Americans with his self-admitted portrayal of them as unsophisticated ignoramuses, he now finds it necessary to grovel for forgiveness over having annoyed and upset others by making the surprisingly controversial suggestion that the US is a better place than Saddam's Iraq.
We can, I suppose, take some small comfort in the fact that, despite his sincere apologies, JW does make some effort to stick to his guns. He does, afterall, continue to make the point that the BBC's coverage of America is not, perhaps, what it ought to be. But, while it may be true that the double standard Webb all but admits is practiced at the BBC with regard to America is indeed an unconscious one, a person would have to be literally unconscious not to notice it after the fact.
However, let us not be too ungracious to Mr Webb. Afterall, even if he feels the need to soften with an apology his pinpricks against the bubble within which the BBC fosters anti-American sentiment, he is, at least, saying a few sensible things that need to be said.
I wouldn't worry about it TAE, the 23 people who listen to Radio 4 are all sandal-wearing university Professors with entrenched anti-American views. They will never change.
Scott, you're way too kind. Webb is a weasel, and if as bc10 says his only listeners are "sandal-wearing university professors with entrenched anti-American views," what does it say about Webb that he's afraid of offending such idiots?
Webb is phoney as a $3 bill.
"BBC, Anti-americanism and the need to not step too far outside the circle"
"I wouldn't worry about it TAE"
Fat chance, the man is obsessed.
The BBC will always, and should always, come across as anti-government in the UK, anti-American in the USA, anti-Chinese in the PRC and so on. This is actually because of bias, a sign of this is that all parties in the UK system complain of the Beeb bing biased against them, it is the result of a healthy scepticism.
Webb is such a fraud. Just read his blog on the elections: I think he is trying to posture as a moderate conservative (he had predicted a McCain presidency during the primaries when evertyone had written him off) - a safe stance when writing about politics in the US. However most of the time it is just pointless drivel. He is not helping the cause.
interesting, and nice to see he apologized after stepping over the line.
Amazingly helpful. It was very interesting and informative. :) Thanks for this.
Your blog is awesome. Thank you so much for giving plenty of useful content. I will bookmark your blog site and will be without doubt coming back.
This post actually revealed quite a bit more information than I was hoping to find. I'm really glad I discovered this site for that reason.
ONS agrees with TAE: It's a tax!
Iran responsible for demise of the Taliban?!?

The devastating Kerala floods that led to the deaths of over 350 people and the displacement of over 3 lakh others.
As the operations to rescue those stranded in rain-ravaged areas near completion, the focus has shifted on cleaning and rehabilitation. The Army, Navy and Air Force are continuing concerted efforts to help the state govt in this regard. Several NGOs and Volunteers are also helping people in this effort. Water levels of dams and most rivers are receding. Train and bus services are slowly returning to normalcy. Many have started returning to their homes. Efforts to clean up homes are underway in most districts.
It is time to look back and reflect how SOME Keralites damaged Kerala’s reputation and nation-wide response around natural calamities with their cheap behavior.
I live in ‘GELF’ with many Keralites around; some very decent, some classy, some not very, some indifferent and also some also very cheap. I salute the ordinary Keralites, who braved the calamity and fought saving themselves and their loved ones. I respect those who were focused helping others and had no time for the petty issues raked by their brethren for partisan political ends.
How the state overall stood strongly to this calamity, also reflects the real strength of Kerala. But I have been left sad and disgusted by the thankless, cheap commie bigots.
In response to this devastating calamity, while help came in from all corners, with corporates, individual states, central govt. and people from across India – from all sections – the cricketers, the celebrities, the common people, essentially the whole country donated and are still donating wholeheartedly, small or big in their own capacity. Even states like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh came forward, while they were themselves fighting with natural calamities. What an overwhelming gesture!
The Army, Para-Military, NDRF, Many Social Organizations are working tirelessly in Kerala day and night, rescuing, helping people.
But, some people had to try to incite hatred and division using the fabricated news to justify their hatred. The hateful pathetic “Kambi Thoonu Folks” who can only blame others, were busy and still busy all over the social media spreading fake propaganda that the center is not helping and that RSS is stopping relief work. I mean how hateful one can get to use a natural calamity to spread lies?
The Central Govt has in fact, released Rs.600 crore in ADVANCE pending assessment by IMCT and decision of the High Level Committee. This was in addition to Rs.562.45 crore already made available in SDRF of the State, with a note that whatever is needed shall be done, India stands with Kerala. Read in detail here.
In addition to the financial support, the Centre has made available large quantities of emergency food, water, medicines and other essential supplies, including additional allocation of food grains, as requested by the State setting aside normal rules and procedure for these supplies in view of emergency nature of the requirement.
40 helicopters, 31 aircraft, 182 teams for rescue, 18 Medical Teams of Defense forces, 58 teams of NDRF, 7 companies of CAPFs involving about 1500 personnel were pressed into search and rescue operations along with over 500 boats and necessary rescue equipment. All this on war footing. They successfully saved over 60,000 human lives by rescuing them from marooned areas and shifting them to relief camps.
The Prime Minister also directed Insurance companies to hold special camps for assessment and release compensation in a timely fashion to the affected beneficiaries under social security schemes. Houses that have been destroyed in villages are to be provided PMAY(G) houses on priority irrespective of their place on the wait-list. An ex-Gratia of Rs 2 lakh per person for the next of kin of the deceased has been announced from the PM’s National Relief Fund, as well as Rs 50,000 for those who are seriously injured.
I understand there are severe ideological/political differences among people. But at this point in time of a national calamity, it’s not about politics, it is about our very own people, who need our support.
But no. There are some sickos around and mind you, they are not very FEW in number . These agenda-driven commies, sitting comfortably at safe places, are using this disaster as an opportunity to attack North Indians, Modi and the Central govt.
Look at these narrative. The entire propaganda is based on lies and falsehood.
The same Army soldiers who they mock round the year and called rapists are helping the fellow-countrymen by putting their lives at stake.
They did not stop complaining against the Central Govt or abusing the Army but also blamed the neighboring state Tamil Nadu for release of water from Mullaperiyar Dam, which they claim is the reason for flood in Kerala.
Dear commies, when you are in need of help, nobody owes it to you. Whatever people/other states do to help is their kindness and more importantly the sense of belonging for each other. Accept all small and big contributions with gratitude and save your venomous north-south divide for another time. Is it a big ask?
There were several humane gestures too. In the wake of the rescue operation conducted by the Indian Forces, pilot Vijay Vama and his men received a unique thank you note. A huge ‘Thanks’ was painted on the roof of the house from where the rescue operation was conducted.
Tragedies are never to be compared but never heard those states which are ravaged every year being given anything by rich satellite states. No one played the victim and indulged in separatism like these vile Kerala commies.
Bengal and Bihar are two states that faces floods regularly but it has never played a victim. Do you remember any Bihari taunting South Indian states/people for not helping Bihar during floods? Floods in Bihar and Bengal rarely make it to the news in South India. How much Kerala ever donated to Bihar or Bengal’s flood? Or anyone to Uttarakhand during catastrophic floods? Was there ever a similar mobilization to help much poorer people? No. But these thankless Commies’ arrogance and sense of entitlement are of another level.
On one hand, 6000 Swayamsevaks have reached flood-affected Aranmula village and SILENTLY started cleaning process. Thousands of RSS Swamsevaks are working in the rescue operations from day one.
On the other side, the Kerala Commie pigs repacked the relief materials donated from other states in new bags with CPM labels. They are also indulged in rescue operations from day one.
Then an entirely spurious and viciously divisive debate was spun out of a fake news that UAE has made an offer of Rs 700 Cr to Kerala Govt which Narendra Modi Govt has declined. When a Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala says, “Modi Ji Na to kisi ki madad karenge, na hi kisi ko karne denge” is absolutely understandable. But at this time of need, how can Kerala CM and his commie vultures can indulge in this partisan politics? How?
Ex-CM, Congress leader Oommen Chandy, had taken the matter forward by writing a letter to PM expressing his disappointment at the allocation made by the central government, and also the decision to deny financial aid of Rs 700 crore the UAE. Chandy also sought for modifications to be made to a decade old UPA-rule calling it a ‘calamity of severe nature’.
The fact is that there was NO SUCH OFFER. Yet all this drama, without even an iota of truth about any such offer. Crucially, the idea was to propagate a narrative so that the IMAGINARY Rs 700 to eclipse the Rs 600 crore allocated by the Central Govt, as a result of which it soon became a political debate.
Even the mainstream media without any due diligence, hand in glove with the commie Kerala media went to town with this fake story, fueling partisan politics. Some idiots on Social media helped spread this rumor. What a Shame!!
They were not happy about receiving aid for Kerala. They were just happy that UAE aid (700cr) is more than what Indian Govt.India gave, (hiding the truth that the State actually received ₹950cr so far), and therefore they now have a weapon to foul-mouth PM Modi! That’s Left-Liberal scoundrels for you!
There is not a single thing that these Left-Liberal scoundrels not try to create a fault line, to divide the country, and every time they fail. Hindu-Muslim, Majority-Minority, Upper Caste- Lower Caste, Brahman-Dalit …. and this time they played South Vs North.
Natural calamities happen almost every year in a different part of the country. The only silver lining to them is how the nation always comes together to help in whatever way it can. Never before had “who did what” became a central narrative. Sadly, Kerala has changed it for ever.
Leaves me both Horrified and Saddened!!

Raising Islands--Hawai'i science and environment: What coqui eats: Does frog lunch bug you?
What coqui eats: Does frog lunch bug you?
The coqui frog must be having a big impact on something it feeds on, because there seem to be a lot of them.
Beloved in Puerto Rico but driving people nuts in Hawai'i with its piercing nighttime calls, the coqui tree frog has invaded a number of habitats, and not a few back yards, in the Islands.
It has been vilified as a potential predator of native insects, although some folks suggest it might actually be a benefit, because it could reduce populations of invasive pest insects.
To determine what impact the coqui might be having on insects, Beard went out to 11 sites on Maui and Hawai'i and collected hundreds of frogs, as well as collecting bugs and other creepy-crawlies from the same areas.
In comparing frog stomach contents with what she'd found in the environment, she concluded that the frogs are mostly feeding among the leaf litter.
They are also opportunistic, meaning their food sources change based on what's available.
But generally, they seem to do a pretty good job on ants, which aren't native to Hawai'i and which make up 30 percent of their food. Next most common are types of amphipods, relatives of shrimps and crabs, sometimes called landhoppers, which may or may not be native. The endangered Kaua'i cave amphipod, which lives in cracks and lava tube caves in the Koloa region of Kaua'i is in this group, so there are native animals in this group.
Beard's review found a higher proportion of the ants and amphipods in the frogs than in the environment, suggesting that the frogs key in on these species.
If anyone was hoping the frogs would be going after really annoying pests, like mosquitoes and termites, no such luck. Beard found no mosquitoes at all, and while termites were present, they represented less than one percent of the frogs' prey.
Beard concluded that endemic species—ones found in Hawai'i and nowhere else on the planet—may be at risk from the coqui, and that more research should be done in areas where endemic populations are high.
“It is these locations where E. coqui may have the greatest impact,” she wrote.
To learn more about the frogs, see www.hear.org/AlienSpeciesInHawaii/species/frogs/.
I haven't heard one or seen one. I guess I've been lucky. But, listening to your description and the evidence uncovered by Ms. Beard, they sound like welcome guests! Like I said, I haven't heard them -- hearing their tune might change mine. :) Thank you for sharing!
We live near Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, and hear the coqui frogs every evening. Yes, they can be pretty loud, but for us, they are not nearly as repugnant as the sounds of cicada's on the mainland, nor are they much louder than crickets there.
One would think that if you are bothered by their song, simply don't plant trees too close to your house. It's a shame that they seem to feed on some native critters, but one wonders how much time they spend near lava tubes.

On the 22nd of July I headed up with the intention of getting a sunset picture of Mt St Helens with Spirit Lake, wild flowers and blast damage in the foreground from Norway Pass. I made it there but the clouds rolled in the late evening and foiled my plan. I never saw the mountain. These pictures are what I saw on the way up and at Norway Pass.
The pickup was removed, this grim reminder was left behind.

Reputed mobster Robert Gentile was denied bail in federal court yesterday, partly in the hopes that he may have information about one of the 20th century’s most infamous art heists. Gentile was being held in a Rhode Island prison for selling prescription drugs. At a hearing in U.S. District Court in Hartford, Connecticut on Tuesday, Assistant U.S. Attorney John Durham told the court that federal authorities had reason to suspect that Gentile was involved in or had knowledge about a notoriously unsolved art theft in 1990, in which thirteen works of art were taken from Boston’s Isabella Gardner Stewart Museum.
The details of the heist resemble a movie plot. The theft involved thieves disguised as police officers, museum guards bound with duct tape, and the seamless removal of hundreds of millions of dollars of masterpieces, including Vermeer, Rembrandt, Manet, and Degas. The crime has remained a mystery for years.
But now, the FBI believes that Gentile may have been involved or have knowledge of the heist. Authorities believe that Gentile was involved in a group of thieves in the early and mid-1990s, who could have been responsible for or known about the theft. Also, Philadelphia mafia family’s Capo Robert Luisi–who was arrested a decade ago–told investigators that Gentile and the members of his crew were responsible for several elaborate robberies, including a scheme in which they raided armored trucks transporting cash from Connecticut’s Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Nevertheless, District Judge Robert Chatigny denied the mobster bail, saying he was too dangerous to be released.

National Capital Area Skeptics: Jun 13 SkepTour of Historic Congressional Cemetery, Washington, D.C.
Jun 13 SkepTour of Historic Congressional Cemetery, Washington, D.C.
For our third annual SkepTour, we decided to move away from the hustle and bustle of downtown D.C. and take you on a walking tour of the beautiful and historic Congressional Cemetery. Here you can find the final resting place of spiritualists, scientists, and political figures with legacies tied to conspiracy theories and popular myths. You’ll also find stunning stone work and a tranquil park-like setting (don’t be surprised to see picnickers and dog walkers).
The cemetery entrance is about a four block walk from the Potomac Avenue Metro. There is limited street parking. The tour is free and open to the public, but we require that you send an RSVP to skeptour@ncas.org so we know who to expect. The tour will be rescheduled in the event of inclement weather.
Afterwards, those who wish may have lunch together nearby (location TBD).

…is something most of us have heard for as long as we can remember. The expression seems at once trite, magnificent and so dull that time seems to stand still. It’s no wonder that so many boycott greens as soon as they’re old enough to decide for themselves what goes on their plate.
But the fact of the matter is that fruit and vegetables keep you fuller, happier and more energetic – and they also taste really good!
Another reason we don’t eat enough greens is that we tend to forget how simple it is to eat more fruit and vegetables every day. That’s why we want to share with you 10 good tips for making your life a little greener!
Shine the spotlight on the veg! Forget all about the plate model for a moment. Marinade and barbecue a 100% veggie kebab or make a confit from freshly harvested beetroot in red wine.
Most of us want to make an effort to eat enough greens, but we often hear friends complain that they buy them and then end up throwing them out when they go bad. A simple trick is to make room for your greens on a shelf higher up in the fridge.
Another trick is to sneak vegetables into the dishes you love most. Here are a few suggestions: Try mixing a handful of spinach into your pancake batter or adding some cauliflower or parsnips to your mashed potatoes. When you make tomato sauce for pasta or pizza, just add some pumpkin or chopped celeriac.
Many will find the notion of mixing vegetables or fruit into breads or cakes unusual. However, fruit and veg like carrots, courgette, apples and yellow or red beetroots can make breads and cakes both moister and tastier, as well as keep you feeling fuller and happier longer.
We think making juice or smoothies is the very best way to eat more fruit and vegetables. If you have a raw juice centrifuge or a good blender, then the only limit to what you can mix and match is your imagination. (However, here’s one good tip: don’t mix red and green fruit or veggies, because you’ll end up with a very unappetising colour.) Some examples are kale, spinach, carrots, apples, cucumber, mint, ginger, strawberries, kiwi, pears – you name it!
Another of our top tricks is to serve vegetables before the meal, when people are most hungry. For instance, you can serve a good dip with some vegetable sticks. Another tip is to sneak in some competitors to the good old carrot and cucumber. Why not try snap peas, cauliflower or fennel next time?
Make veggies extra special with a drizzle of good olive oil or melted butter or a sprinkle of Apetina before serving.
Do you tend to forget to buy vegetables or just have a hard time picking them out? Today, there a range of services that deliver boxes filled with a variety of fresh greens right to your door, putting an end to all your excuses!
If you think a salad is iceberg with a few slices of cucumber and tomato, then of course the thought of salad turns you off. Try adding something new to your salad, like spinach, Italian black cabbage, pomegranate seeds, pea shoots or edamame beans, and top with a good vinaigrette or creamy dressing.
You don’t need a particularly large garden or particularly green thumbs to grow them yourself. Plant some herbs in your window box or sow some peas in a container. It doesn’t get more local than that!

After a coworker breaks the devastating news, he can’t help but appreciate the woman in his life as well. Tammy’s love interest (not Waka) returns home after diligently working at the diner to find that they are being evicted from their home. When life won’t let up, love and security from intimacy such as kisses are the light at the end of the tunnel. Appreciate who you have now because you never know when it will be their time.
Take a listen and smother your significant other in so many kisses!
In this Love & Hip Hop Atlanta highlight, Tammy tells Waka she is serious about being an R&B artist.

SEATTLE — Veteran cornerback Antoine Winfield has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks, ESPN’s Josina Anderson reported Friday.
“It was a very tough decision for me because of the relationships that I have in Minnesota,” Winfield told Anderson, according to espn.com. “I’ve been there nine years. I’ve had some really great coaches, teammates and fans there. I’m very grateful to the Vikings organization for my experience.
ESPN said Winfield could be the slot corner for the Seahawks with starters Sherman and Browner playing outside. Sherman and Browner combined for 11 interceptions last season.

Every so often I’d look across the living room and say to myself, “I really should start those”. Twenty years have passed since I last read a Predator book (Concrete Jungle), so I was keen to get into another. But then life or video games or films got in the way. That’s why the Rage War trilogy has been sitting on my book shelf for over a year now.
No more! I have cast aside these things to give myself time to sit down and read a good book. Does Predator – Incursion: The Rage War 1 fulfil the ‘good’ aspect of how I’m currently spending my evenings once the little one is asleep?
Incursion zips along at a good pace, with each chapter’s focus on a character allowing me to get my bearings as the story progressed across vast distances. It’s been hundreds of years since the original films (one of which even gets a nice little mention), and faster than light travel is now commonplace as Humans expand their sphere of influence. A lot has changed, but there are still Colonial Marines, and there is still Weyland-Yutani. ‘The Company’ still have their fingers in lots of pies, but for once they aren’t the ultimate shady evil. No, there’s something much worse coming.
The story kept pulling me back in; so much so that I’ve had too many late nights over the week it’s taken me to finish it. I found myself waiting for quiet time so I could dive back, and it never seemed to drag. Sure, things need putting in place, but by the second half of the book various protagonists are set on their paths and everything ramps up.
A small thing, but the women are written well, in that they aren’t written any differently to the men. They’re just as brave, fierce, uncertain, frail, and scared as anyone else in the book. Perhaps that shouldn’t need mentioning, but it jumped out to me.
Looking ahead I can see that the other books in the trilogy (I was bought all three together), follow a nice – if perhaps limiting – title pattern of Predator, Alien, Alien vs Predator. That I’ve already started Alien – Invasion might give you an idea on my thoughts of the first book.
Two gripes come to mind, neither of which are really deal breakers if I’m honest with you. Different sized books!! I hate it when a set doesn’t match. In this case Book 1 is stumpier than the other two. Ugh. Secondly, whilst I appreciate the way the titles work I wonder if it boxes each book into a corner. If you wanted wall to wall Predator action you might be disappointed. Perhaps once I look back on the trilogy (yes I’ll be reading and reviewing all three), I’ll be able to look back and form a definitive opinion on the titles.
Predator – Incursion: The Rage War 1 starts a bit slowly but soon evolves into an exciting yarn. More please.

What is "Tennis Elbow" (lateral epicondylitis)?
Tennis elbow is an degenerative condition along the outside of your elbow and forearm called “lateral epicondylitis”.
The degeneration occurs from the accumulation of microtears in the tendons that extend your wrist (make it bend backward). These microtears are probably too small to feel individually, but over time they add up and become painful.
The most commonly affected tendon and the biggest contributor to the pain is the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) muscle.
This condition was first described in the 19th century while people were playing lawn tennis in England, which is how it got its name. However, the condition is now recognized in many athletic and recreational activities. Tennis remains a big risk, and some studies suggest that up to 50% of regular tennis players will experience tennis elbow at some point in their life, usually brought on by the backhand stroke (however, only 13% of professional tennis players are afflicted with the condition, suggesting it is associated with faulty mechanics). The condition can be caused by many inciting events such as local inflammation, muscle or ligament strains, or inflammation within the joint.
Injury to this region can be caused by overuse or by a direct blow, or maybe by another reason to subtle to recognize.
Tennis elbow causes a lot of pain in the forearm (especially with movements where your wrist is cocked back: like holding a car steering wheel, or revving the engine of your Harley Davidson motorcycle). The diagnosis is based on a doctor's examination findings alone, and x-rays are not helpful. The provocative tests (recreating the pain) include pushing on the area that hurts (duh!), or rotating the palm upward under resistance, or picking up a chair with their palm down (extending the wrist).
MRI and ultrasound, although sensitive to signs of inflammation around the tendon, are not necessary.
Tennis elbow should be treated in a stepwise fashion from least invasive to more involved if the pain persists.
The condition is usually self-limited (it goes away with time), and by just avoiding aggravating activities, the pain resolves in about 33% of people within 6 weeks, 50% of people by 3 months, 75% of people at 6 months and about 85% in a year.
Activity modification plus physical therapy (deep friction massage, home stretching exercises and strengthen) showed better improvement than activity modification alone, although not by much.
People that got a steroid injection showed immediate improvement (better than people treated with activity modification + physical therapy) and the symptoms resolved in over 90% of people by 3 weeks. However, as the effects of the steroid wore off, patients were feeling only as good the therapy group by 3 months, and then were actually doing worse by 6 months and 1 year (at that time only 70% of people reported improvement). Steroid injections often give short term relief only (although for many it does offer quick and long-lasting treatment).
Another treatment is a forearm counter-tension band to be worn with activities. This brace can relieve some of the stress from the inflamed tendon.
If pain remains significant at 6 months or a year, surgical intervention is available with a high success rate. The procedure removes the inflamed ECRB tendon, which is ok, because there is another tendon that links up with the remaining ECRB tendon further down the arm.
There are a number of effective treatment options for this condition. If approached in a stepwise manner, its expected that "Tennis elbow" will completely resolve, although it may take a few weeks or even months (but persistence usually pays off). The recent trend of using Platelet-Rich Plasma ("PRP") to treat degenerative and inflammatory conditions has generally failed to live up to the hype. A recent study comparing PRP to placebo showed no difference after 1 month, while another study comparing steroid injects to PRP and placebo showed that steroids were more effective at 1 month.

The 2006 Pilgrimage of the American Association of the Order of Malta, under the leadership of our President, Dan Kelly, departed from Newark International Airport on April 26th and returned from Lourdes on May 3rd.
Three hundred-sixty Pilgrims experienced the journey of a lifetime in Lourdes. We all walked hand in hand to the Grotto with our beloved Malades and their caregivers. We had seven wonderful teams, and we thank all of our Team Members and their respective Captains for making the Pilgrimage a great and happy occasion.
Our Pilgrimage family, and we did, in fact, come home as a family, included 52 beloved Malades and their caregivers, members of the clergy, physicians and nurses, auxiliary members who helped us care for our Malades, especially when we processed through the narrow streets of Lourdes to the Domain, volunteers, and our Members and members in preparation. In addition to our Teams in Lourdes, each day we prayed for our Malades-in-Spirit, numbering over 100 sick and disabled persons back home whom we brought to Lourdes with us in our hearts and spirit as virtual Lourdes Pilgrims.
We thank all of our Members, each and every one of you, who did not come on the Pilgrimage but who prayed the Novena for us during our week in Lourdes. We thank our hundreds of benefactors who contributed with such generosity to bring our Malades to Lourdes as guests of the Order. You were all there with us in spirit!
In closing our 2006 Pilgrimage, we say, with each of you, “Our Lady of Lourdes, Pray for Us.” One hundred forty-eight years ago, our Lady appeared to the child Bernadette, and the world is better for this powerful gift to mankind.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and we thank the photographers, Michelle Babyak, Mel Orendorf and John Bycraft, for providing us with a “Photo Gallery” of our Pilgrimage which can be found by clicking the tab at the top of this page.

Current transformers (CT) are broadly employed in order to measure high magnitude currents. Such transformers basically step down (lower) the current which is to be measured, so that it can be measured with an average range ammeter. A CT generally possesses one or few primary turns. The primary side winding could be simply a conductor positioned in an empty (hollow) core.
Whereas the secondary side possesses a large number of turns which are precisely wound for a particular turns ratio. Hence the CTs step the voltage up whilst stepping the current down.
Normally, CTs are expressed in terms of primary to secondary current ratio like Ip/Is. A 200:5 CT rating means that the secondary side current is 5 amperes when primary side current is 200 amperes. Generally, the secondary side current rating is 1 ampere or 5 amperes. Current transformers are represented by the following symbol.
Voltage transformers (VTs) are essentially step-down transformers with highly accurate turns ratio. VTs generally step down the higher voltage to a lower voltage so that it can be measured easily with the standard voltmeter. Such transformers possess a higher number of turns on a primary side and smaller number turns on the secondary side.
A Voltage transformer is generally represented in terms of primary to secondary voltage ratio like Vp/Vs. For instance, 1000:120 VT means that secondary side voltage is 120 V when the primary side has 1000 V. Voltage transformers are represented by the following symbol.
This article keys out the main differences between Current and Potential Transformer on the basis of several factors such as function, connection, use, primary and secondary windings, excitation current, core, types, and applications.
Primary current Primary current does not depend upon secondary side circuit conditions Primary current relies on secondary side circuit conditions.
Use Using current transformer, a 5 Ampere ammeter can be utilized to measure high currents such as 200 amperes Using potential transformer, a 120 V voltmeter can be used to measure high voltages such as 11 KV.

I may have arrived late to the Breaking Bad party, but I’m making up for lost time, and loving it! Excellent writing and amazing performances from the likes of Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Dean Norris.
AND…I was lucky enough to attend a Galway Film Centre screenwriting event earlier this year, with the man himself, creator and screenwriter, Vince Gilligan, in attendance for the event, Deconstructing Breaking Bad. A very entertaining and informative session, and Vince himself, a down-to-earth, practical speaking gentleman, was inspirational in the telling of his own journey as a writer.
Vince won a screenplay competition in 1989 when just out of college. Mark Johnson (Rainman) was doing the organisers a favour by sitting on the judging panel. He liked Vince’s script and asked him to show him what else he had. That was his first break into the business…and though Vince is quick to point out that it was pure luck, I would throw in my tuppence worth here and say that yes, luck plays a part, but you have to put the work in and take the actions, (for example, submitting to competitions!) that lead to that “pure luck” moment ever happening! It is so important to build up a body of work, that, in the event of that lucky break coming your way, you have more to show than just one script!
Vince went on to sell his script, Home Fries: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119304/, and with the money he made from that, was able to support himself while writing scripts between 1990-1995, Wilder Napalm, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108569/ being his most successful.
Vince hadn’t written for TV when the first season of X Files came out, but as a viewer, the series hooked him in. Needing to find new work, he happened to be talking to his agent, and mentioned how much he liked the show. By chance, his agent told him that she was related to the creator, Chris Carter, by marriage, and that next time Vince was in LA, she would organise a meeting. (More Luck!) He met with Chris, essentially to gush about how much he loved the X Files. He says that he had no burning ambition to write for it, he was just a fan, and that when he was asked to pitch an idea, on the spot, Vince was taken by surprise. The night before, he had been looking at his own shadow on the hotel room wall, imagining what would happen if the shadow started moving independently. He pitched this as an idea, they liked it, and he was asked to write an episode – which he did, Soft Light, and they bought it.
Vince worked on the X Files for seven years, but when it came to an end, he was out of a job, and turning 40…a mid-life crisis of sorts. He was joking on the phone with a writer friend of his that to make some money, maybe they should rent a Winnebago and set up a meth lab. From that the idea sprung – Breaking Bad – which is essentially about a man at an end-of-life-crisis.
The show is a character piece, about one man, and the story builds on the writer’s understanding of this character. Vince likes what feels like invention, the act of creating – a jigsaw analogy, and says he stole the methodology of his writing room from his X Files days. He sits with six other writers, five days a week. He tries to keep it to a 10-6pm day with a one hour lunch break, but sometimes writers have to come in on Saturdays and Sundays, and when the pressure is on, they could work until 10 at night. Basically, they sit around a table, debating, joking, firing stuff at each other, and it is mostly good-natured. He has a number of women writers on the team, and one assistant who records everything they say.
Everyone in the room is very honest. It is a SAFE room, were all ideas are heard, crazy and all. In the roll of helmsman, Vince is aware that there are smarter people than him in the room. They don’t have all the episodes written before the first one of the season is shot. The process is brick by brick, telling it organically. It generally takes two weeks to write an episode. The teaser is always 3-5 minutes before the episode and should be a little movie onto itself – hooking in the audience. Vince directs as many episodes as he can. He is often not fond of the writing process, but LOVES to have written!
Think of the audience as being smarter than you are. Keep ahead of them!

Haven’t watched itself but after reading this, me thinks I should!
You definitely should, Fiona…very dark, but written with humour and intelligence…and superb acting from a great cast.
I knew that Vince Gilligan had been a fan of The X-Files before he started working for the show, but I had no idea how he and Chris Carter met. That’s fantabulous.
I came late to the Breaking Bad party too but now that I’m here, I’m having a great time. The writing and the acting on this show are the most impressive I’ve seen since… well… The X-Files.

It might seem like it’s not the season for florals, but I think on a dark background that can work with opaque tights it’s a nice reminder all winter that summer will return one day!
This dress from Oasis has a Cherry Blossom print and a bright yellow belt, which I would say added a pop of colour, but I try not to say things like that.
I think it would look great with black or yellow tights and brogues, or with seamed stockings, gloves and a hat for a 1940s vibe.

Persian meels (mils) made from one solid chunk of sustainable hardwood. Close to 4kg each club – lovingly hand-turned and finished to both protect the wood and enhance appearance.
Due to the nature of wood, there maybe a natural variation of weight and colour. We make most of our clubs in batches and match pairs according to proximity of weight. Variations above/below the target weight will happen though we aim to match pairs as close as possible. Most weights are a little over the stated weight. Please let us know if you prefer a slightly heavier or lighter pair from the batch.

Designed to guarantee jumpers' safety in the event of a jump that lands outside of the jumping zone, this safety enclosure is compatible with round trampolines that have the exact overall diameter of 3.05m, like our Jump'Up 300 and Access 300 models.
- The entrance to the trampoline is secured with a vertical zip door. This system allows an easy access to the trampoline and a complete lock for when the trampoline is in use.
- This net is delivered with its 6 fixing posts that ensuring a maximal stability to the net as they are directly on the ground, alongside the feet of the trampoline.
- The 31.8mm wide steel posts are designed to resist severe weather conditions. The steel is hot-dip galvanised which allows it to be resistant to corrosion. You can leave the posts outdoors during the winter without the risk of deterioration.
- The polyester net is made from small mesh prevent any fingers from getting caught in the net.
- It is secured to the frame pad with a fixing system underneath the pad: there is no empty space between the frame pad and the safety enclosure. It is attached by using easy use elastics on the jumping mat's hooks.
- The fiberglass rods on the upper part guarantee a good tension of the safety enclosure, protecting jumpers on impact of the net. The jumper is automatically sent back to the jumping mat.
This safety enclosure fits all trampolines with a 3.05m diameter with 3 feet. It is mainly used for Access 300 and Jump'Up 300 bought after April 2016.
