Sunday is a good day for me to relax and mess around with the instruments in the house. Yes, I recorded these instruments last Sunday, and I am only just now finding the time to blog about it. I've been thinking about arrangements lately. (In between thoughts of how to give the kids everything they want and how to get a job and keep it.) So how do you come up with just the right instrumentation and "twiddly bits" to keep a song interesting and fresh while still maintaining the spirit of the song?
It is also interesting to me that while I am competent on both the piano and the organ, I continually have music envy over other instruments. I very much enjoy practicing the organ and can recognize the improvements that I make. But I stew, and "fret" (get it), and work to frustration on instruments that annoy the snot out of my children and friends.
I have made my boys hate the ukulele (I love it so). All but one of my children HATE the baroque recorder (Oh, Jojo and I love our early baroque music. He'd love it even more, i'm sure, if he could keep up). The kids really hate my autoharp. And yet there are times I play it and play it wishing I could go beyond hammering out a tune (ala the Loving Spoonful). I wish I could really make it sing! Like this video
I've been working out how to pick out a melody. I haven't gotten to the point that I can pluck melody and arpeggiate an accompanyment yet, but I did get it sounding a little like a dulcimer, which gave me the idea that maybe I should try blending it with dulcimer. I added another track to the "Come, Come Ye Saints" I posted last week. But then I thought (like a cook tasting her stew) we are a little heavy on melody and a little light on harmony. I added a fourth track, melodica. Judea mixed in a little visual. And viola, I have a new music video!
If you find yourself sitting at home on a Sunday preevening with nothing to do but mess with your autoharp, take a look at this tab. I have noted the buttons needed to pick out the melody of Come, Come Ye Saints (this is in the same key as needed for the dulcimer). I have also added a harmony line for a c instrument such as melodica or melodeon.
Come Come Ye Saints Melodica


Another week has passed and, in case you missed our social media feeds, we’re here to give you the run down on this week’s additions just in time for your weekend binge sessions. Here we will give you our top picks as well as a full list of everything added to the streaming service in the last week. So here are our top picks from this week’s additions on Netflix UK:
If you’re looking for a film or two to watch this weekend why not try Room in Rome which sees two women meet and experience sensual and emotional fulfilment during a steamy encounter in a hotel room where they share secrets as well as sex. Gotti is a film based on the life of one of New Yorks most powerful mafia kingpins John Gotti. If horror films are your thing then Awaken the Shadowman might be for you – this film sees a man returns to his sleepy hometown after hi mother dies and where an ominous, supernatural force targets his family and locals. The Dirt is a comedy biopic based on Mötley Crüe’s best-selling book, four LA misfits navigate the monster highs and savage lows of music superstardom. Finally for films we have Blind where years after losing his wife and his eyesight in a car crash, a novelist finds new passion for life in an affair with an unhappily married socialite. Boyhood and A Cure for Wellness have both returned to Netflix UK this week too.
If superhero films are your thing then we have offerings from both the MCU and the DCU with Ant-Man, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Suicide Squad all being added this week. In Ant-Man Scott Lang, a paroled thief, steals a suit that can shrink him to insect-size with superhuman strength, but a rival uses the same technology as a weapon of war. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 sees the ragtag, wisecracking band of miscreants return to unravel the mystery of Peter “Star Lord” Quill’s origins. Whilst in DC’s Suicide Squad a secret government official releases the world’s worst super villains from prison to have them stop an impending apocalypse in exchange for freedom.
For those looking for TV series to binge this week we have the reality TV show Selling Sunset which follows the elite real estate brokers at The Oppenheim Group who sell the luxe life to affluent buyers in LA. In Delhi Crime the Indian city reels in the aftermath of a gang rape, DCP Vartika Chaturvedi leads a painstaking search for the culprits – the series is based on the 2012 Nirbhaya case. Finally for TV this week we have Part 2 of Netflix original The OA.
The pick of the documentaries that were added this week include Social Animals which follows a trio of teens, a daredevil photographer, an aspiring model and a lonely Ohio girl and shows Instagram’s impact on their lives. In ReMastered: The Miami Showband Massacre one survivor doggedly pursues the truth of the killing of three members of the Miami Showband which sent shock waves across Ireland in 1975.
There have been quite a few non-english additions this week including Japanese drama My Husband Won’t Fit where Kumiko and Kenichi meet in college and build a happy marriage together, but over time, an unusual problem threatens to destroy their relationship. Another Japanese addition this week is Stay Tuned! a comedy based on the anime series about an eccentric news reporter. Green Door is a Taiwanese drama about a troubled psychologist who returns from the U.S. and sets up a clinic in Taiwan, where mysterious patients and uncanny events shed light on his murky past. Kuwaiti drama February 9 tells the story of a psychology professor who faces Alzheimer’s, as his daughter and her three close female friends experience romance, marriage, heartbreak and tragedy.
For the younger Netflix users this week we have new episodes of the Angry Birds cartoon series and also Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures where you can get to know Barbie and her best friends including next-door neighbour Ken in an animated vlog of adventures filmed inside her family’s new dreamhouse.

Today is spa day. It’s our special grooming day and mom tries to schedule one every week. We all get a thorough brushing and our nails trimmed. Thank catness baths aren’t included! That reminds me, mom read recently that baths are not necessarily a bad thing for cats. I hope she’s not thinking that means me. I’m an indoor cat and do a fine job of bathing myself. Sometimes I wish she wouldn’t do so much research.
I really enjoy the brushing half of our grooming routine. I love being brushed but I’d just as soon mom leave the nails alone. I just get them nice and sharp and she chops them off. I sit there, all indignant like, while she cuts. She says it makes us both happy in the long run. I don’t feel so much of a need to scratch on things and I don’t poke or scratch mom accidentally. None of us really mind the trims since mom has been doing them since we were little, but still, a girl likes her long nails.
Now that shedding season is here (yuck for all of us) mom tries to brush us every couple of days. She says when the first hairball gets upchucked, it is her reminder to start brushing more often. Since we get brushed on a pretty regular basis, we hardly ever get hairballs, but when the hair starts coming out by the handfuls, it’s time for more action on her part. Even though hairballs are a natural thing, preventing them is more pleasant for all concerned.
For the longest time, longer than I can remember, mom has used a FURminator on us. It gets through the top coat and pulls out all the loose, dead undercoat. It feels so good getting all that hair out and I don’t have to lick it out with my tongue.
Next Friday is National Hairball Awareness Day. In support of the day, mom is giving away a FURminator on her Savvy Pet Care blog. Just click the link to enter to win. I know you’ll love it as much as I love mine.
Today is also selfie day over at The Cat on My Head and we are joining in. My photo in the National Hairball Awareness Day graphic will have to do as my selfie. Click on the link or badge to see more.


We use molecular dynamics simulations over microsecond time scales to study the micellization behavior of recently proposed continuum-space, coarse grained surfactant models. In particular, we focus on the MARTINI model by Marrink [J. Phys. Chem. B 111, 7812 (2007)] and a model by Shinoda [Soft Matter 4, 2454 (2008)]. We obtain the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and equilibrium aggregate size distributions at low surfactant loadings. We present evidence justifying modest extrapolations for determining the cmc at low temperatures, where significant sampling difficulties remain. The replica exchange method provides only modest improvements of sampling efficiency for these systems. We find that the two coarse grained models significantly underpredict experimental cmc near room temperature for zwitterionic surfactants, but are closer to measured values for nonionic ones. The aggregation numbers for both zwitterionic and nonionic surfactants are near those observed experimentally, but the temperature dependence of the cmc is incorrect in both cases, because of the use of an unstructured solvent. Possible refinements to the models to bring them into quantitative agreement with experiment are discussed.

On January 15 at 11:00 ET RH Reality Check hosted an audio news conference for journalists and bloggers on the first ever comprehensive, peer-reviewed study offering a groundbreaking, in-depth look at criminal and civil cases in which a woman’s pregnancy led to her arrest, imprisonment, or other deprivations of liberty.

The study, “Arrests of and Forced Interventions on Pregnant Women in the United States, 1973– 2005: Implications for Women’s Legal Status and Public Health” was published Tuesday, January 15th in the peer-reviewed Journal of Health Politics, Policy and Law.
The one-of-a-kind study identifies 413 criminal and civil cases involving the arrests, detentions and equivalent deprivations of pregnant women’s physical liberty that occurred between 1973 and 2005. (The authors cited evidence indicating the existence of a significant number of additional cases.) In each of the 413 cases, pregnancy was a necessary element and the consequences included: arrests; incarceration; increases in prison or jail sentences; detentions in hospitals, mental institutions and drug treatment programs; and forced medical interventions, including surgery.
The study examines key characteristics of the cases and the women (including socioeconomic status and race) and reveals the role that health care providers played in facilitating actions against pregnant women. Analysis of the legal claims used to justify these arrests found that they relied on post-Roe measures such as feticide laws and the same arguments made in support of so called “personhood” measures namely, that state actors should be empowered to treat fertilized eggs, embryos, and fetuses as completely legally separate from the pregnant woman.
While the study shows that low-income women and African American women are more likely to be deprived of their physical liberty, it also confirms that these state interventions are happening in every region of the country and affect women of all races.
As “personhood” measures continue to be promoted in state legislatures and in Congress, and as we observe the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, this study broadens the conversation from one just about abortion to one about health policy and the legal status of pregnant women.
Lynn M. Paltrow, JD is the founder and executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Women. She is lead author of the study as well as the author of a recent commentary in the American Journal of Public Health: “Roe v. Wade and the New Jane Crow: Reproductive Rights in the Age of Mass Incarceration.”
Jeanne Flavin, PhD is professor of sociology at Fordham University and the study’s co-author. Her work examines gender, crime, and reproductive justice. She is the author of the award-winning book Our Bodies, Our Crimes: The Policing of Women’s Reproduction in America (2009), as well as more than two dozen other scholarly publications. She is the recipient of a 2009 Fulbright award and the 2013 Sociologists for Women in Society’s Feminist Activism Award. She is also president of NAPW’s board of directors.
Colleen Grogan, PhD is a professor at the University of Chicago and Editor of the Journal of Health Politics, Policy & Law. Her work examines the political evolution of the American health care system and the role of democratic participation in health policy decision-making. Her current book project is titled Health Policy by Stealth: America’s Hidden Health Care State, and she is co-author of Health Voices, Unhealthy Silence: Advocacy and Health Care for the Poor (2007).


Setting goals is important — and I’m not talking about those that don’t mean anything in the great scheme of things.
I’m talking about things we need to get done, not superficial to things we may want to achieve (like finally getting those ‘six-pack’ abs).
I’m talking about long-term sustainable physical objectives that will boost your performance as well as make you feel better in general.
Part one of setting the goal is knowing what you want to achieve. Part two is setting the road map to get there.
For example, if you want to run 10 miles but haven’t ran at all in your life, you know you’re going to have to start out with much shorter runs like a half-mile everyday (taking into account that you may need to rest for a day or so through the week) and then steadily increase your distance to something like one mile every other run until you eventually reach your goal of running 10 miles.
Remember, it takes time and commitment to get there, and you will probably experience a few setbacks and have to adjust your road map accordingly. The secret is to not quit and give it all you’ve got everyday.
About developing that road map:
— Write down your objective (reach 10 miles in a run)
— Preparation: What stretching routine will you use before your runs?
— Equipment: Research running shoes and get a pair that are going to be comfortable and won’t cause you injury
— Lay out a schedule for how many times per week you plan to run
Once you have a path to success — your road map — it is much easier to obtain your objective. If you’re not sure how to get there because you haven’t taken the time to map out your success, then chances are good you won’t reach the objective and may become discouraged.
Keep in the back of your mind, also, that your journey won’t be easy (what’s that old expression, ‘If it was easy, everyone would be doing it?’). Such journeys never are. But just remember when you are at your most tired, your most exhausted, and you think you might be nearing failure, why you began your journey to begin with.
It will take time and commitment to get there, obviously. And you will probably experience a few setbacks and have to adjust your road map accordingly.
But if you just don’t quit and give it all you’ve got everyday, chances are real good that you will succeed.

One of the most impressive performances by a promising young artist will take place on Aug. 12 in Seattle’s Pioneer Square Occidental Park. The event is free and open to the public.
Usually “Artfully Edmonds” does not travel so far from the Edmonds vicinity as downtown Seattle with its mentions. But this performance is by an Edmonds-area musical prodigy with so much international-star power potential that it is well worth the mention – and your attention.
At noon this Tuesday Denná Good-Mojab, of Lynnwood, will take the stage as the 2014 Grand Prize Winner of the KING 98.1 FM and Seattle Chamber Music Society’s Young Artist Award Competition. She is one of three young musicians who won the Classical KING FM Young Artist Awards competition for 16- to 20-year-olds.
Everything about 17-year-old Good-Mojab is exceptional; from her entry into college at the age of 11, to her performance with the Portland Opera at age 15. Good-Mojab sang in Seattle Opera’s “Turandot” in 2012. She began working on her high school curriculum when most children are entering junior high, and then finished in 18 months.
When her parents, Ezzie Mojab and Cynthia Good Mojab, considered the next step after high school for their daughter, the University of Washington’s Music Department seemed the best fit in fostering the music potential of the young star. Ultimately Good-Mojab studied under Thomas Harper, opera tenor and voice teacher while at the University of Washington. She graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Voice. Her scholarships included the Greg Timmers Art Education Scholarship by the Mensa Foundation.
She was also recently awarded the Monika Meyers Clowes Memorial Award by James Ehnes of the Seattle Chamber Music Society, which included a performance at their 2014 Summer Festival.
Good-Mojab was selected to sing the Star Spangled Banner during the June 14 commencement ceremonies at Husky stadium, where more than 45,000 were in attendance.
Currently the young star is working as an intern in the Seattle Opera’s Education Department. Her work for the Seattle Opera includes researching schools for their educational programming and assisting with the summer opera workshop, “Dido and Aeneas Ensemble,” including serving as a diction coach.
You can follow Good-Mojab’s sparkling career on her Facebook page.
The KING FM Young Artist Awards supports emerging young musicians each year in partnership with Seattle Chamber Music Society and provides opportunities for winners to perform in our community.
Free chamber music concerts are presented every other Tuesday afternoon in Occidental Park, Pioneer Square through September 23 by Classical KING FM 98.1 in partnership with the City of Seattle’s Office of Arts and Culture, ARTSparks. Concerts feature a variety of young local musicians in string duos, quartets or trios. You can find more information here.

Welcome to Books and Ashes! A blog for two bookish girls who love to read and share their reviews and thoughts. Find out more about all the current bloggers below! And thanks for visiting! ❤
Codename: The Dragon
I’m Bri! I’m terribly obsessed with all things dragon related, so there will be collages of different things with dragons in them. Unless it’s a picture I’ve personally taken, I don’t own it! The picture above was drawn by my best friend so all thanks go to her for such a lovely gift ❤
I’ve loved reading for as long as I remember (sounds like most of us book bloggers huh?) and finding out about the book community was possibly the best day of my life! I was so happy to be able to connect with so many other book lovers out in the world (many who aren’t even within a hundred miles of me)! I’m also a writer, so I’ll post monthly updates about what I’ve worked on, and maybe the tentative titles of whatever WIP I’m working on that ended up changed. Should be fun!
I’m an English major with a concentration in Writing and Language and get a Professional Writing Certificate, I hope to someday work either with a manuscript agent or for a publisher. Either of those would be something I would no doubt love! Gamer girl too, hopelessly obsessed with the Assassin’s Creed trilogy for the stories and wishing so hard that I had an Xbox One to play Unity! Can’t get enough really of how awesome all of the assassins have been! 😉
I try to do peppy post, outside of reviews! I’ll be participating in a few meme’s that I know of (eventually) like Stacking the Shelves and once a month starting in January we’ll do our version of a Sunday Post to condense everything that happened in that month! I also plan to do a monthly post of books I plan to read and maybe some topics I plan to touch upon. Any tags I do will probably end here with the option of you taking it on! There will always be at least two to three post a week, and likely never more than five from me (if I manage to do a-post-a-day week I get a box of cookies).
You can expect some random topics to appear from me, I like to be spontaneous on occasion! (You know, when I have something to talk about!)
I’m based in the US, so I’m tuned in to the US things going on, but I do my best to keep up with bigger world news.
Codename: The Assassin
I’m Iris, a small time book reviewer and blogger. I’m a bit professional and originally started Books and Ashes. When I realized I needed a co-blogger to help me start keeping up with reading all the books I was trying to read Bri was the one who stood out the most and I’m happy to have brought her aboard to help with everything. She’s really peppy and brings life to the post she makes (even her reviews! There’s an obvious difference in who writes a review even without signing it).
Like Bri, I’ll be participating in a once a month Sunday Post to keep everyone up to date on everything that happened, although it’s likely she will be doing it instead of I.
I’m a beta reader when I have the time, I love helping people find the mistakes, the weaknesses, the strengths, and the best parts of their works. Like Bri, I’m an English major but instead of Writing and Language I’m concentrating on Literature. I’d like to work as an editor perhaps someday. I’m also a big time gamer girl, and my obsession happens to be the Elder Scrolls series. I’m always an assassin in Skyrim no matter what species I play, it’s my strength, while being a mage is my weakness.
I plan on doing two to three post a week as well, but if I get more free time I’ll likely post more. Not sure besides reviews what I’ll post yet, but probably cover reveals and talk about if we start hosting things from different promotional places. I look forward to talking with some of you!
I’m based in the US after moving here with my family.


January no longer a rookie
In her first professional playoff game against the Washington Mystics, Briann January played pretty darn good.
No, good isn't strong enough, she was great. Her stat line read like this off the bench: 19 minutes, 16 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and she hit all eight free throw attempts.
Was anyone surprised?
"I wasn't surprised at all," said Fever coach Lin Dunn. "Not only was she darn good but I think what really set the tone for her was that she was 8-for-8 from the free throw line in crunch time. That shows you that not only was she able to play at a high level, but she was able to hit her free throws under pressure and that's really special for a rookie."
If you've witnessed January's progression throughout the season you'll notice that she's always had a swagger about her. An attitude that says while she was a rookie and willing to learn, she also knew she was worth the Fever's No. 1 draft pick.
Dunn wanted to keep that confidence high and give her rookie early experience so she started her in all three preseason games. It worked. January averaged seven points, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game through the regular season, including a season high 17 points against Detroit last month.
"It's been a huge learning process for me just taking everything in and finding a role for myself on this team," said the former Arizona State Sun Devil. "I've learned my role is to pace the ball, be a defender, get the ball to the great scorers we have on the team, take care of the ball and put pressure on the defense and make them respect our team."
Though January says she's still trying to earn the respect of other WNBA players, she's already received it from her teammates and coaches.
"She's done a great job coming in and being open to learning," said guard Tamecka Dixon. "She also had a great work ethic and she's just continued getting better and better."
Dunn adds that while January is a powerful, explosive player, "It's not only her ability to push the tempo and break down defenses with her penetration, but she can shoot the ball," she said. "She's a very versatile point guard."
January's first pro season hasn't been full of roses. She's dealt with hamstring and ankle injuries, and at one point forgot that her speed was one her greatest assets said fellow point guard Tully Bevilaqua, though she quickly recovered.
"This has been new to me because you're going against the best players in the world every night," January said. "It's tough adjusting, learning the game especially as a point guard and needing to make quick decisions. The fatigue factor has come into play by going 100 percent for a full year. I'm trying to push through that and show some toughness."
This late in the season and as great January has play throughout, it's fair to say that she's no longer considered a rookie. Dunn says that her ability to push the ball has won games for the Fever and Bevilaqua says her energy is unmatched.
"When she comes on the court she raises it up in terms of tempo and energy, and there is no let up," she said.
It's no secret that January is the Fever's point guard of the future. Dixon could retire soon and, at 38, Bevilaqua's playing days are limited. Before they leave, both have fed January with so much knowledge she says it would take 24 hours to tell it all.
Dunn is excited about her point guard and grateful that she's learning from two of the best.
"This has been a transition year and I wouldn't be surprised next year if (Briann) is the starting point guard and Tully is her back up," she said.

Westminster clips Grove City in PAC clash
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. -- The Grove City College women's swimming and diving team concluded the Presidents' Athletic Conference portion of the 2007-08 schedule Tuesday night with a 146-116 setback at Westminster. Grove City is now 5-6 overall and 2-2 in the conference.
Freshmen Sarah Bargery (Springfield, Va./Homeschooled) and Sarah Page (Colorado Springs, Colo./Pine Creek) both earned a pair of victories for Grove City. Bargery won the 100 breaststroke in 1 minute, 11.21 seconds, then touched first in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:32.42.
Page, meanwhile, won both the 50 (25.50) and 100 (55.01) free races. Junior Rebecca Smiddy (Miami, Fla./Homeschooled) picked up a win in the 1000 with a time of 11:22.31.
Grove City also swept both relays Tuesday. Bargery, sophomore Amanda Thompson (Erie, Pa./McDowell), freshman Lauren Baur (North Wales, Pa./North Penn) and senior Ellen Keefer (Montoursville, Pa./Montoursville) won the 200 medley relay in 1:55.82.
Keefer, Baur, Page and freshman Katie Brunk (Wyncote, Pa./Cheltenham) closed the meet by winning the 400 free relay in 3:47.97.
Grove City will visit Denison Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. in non-conference action.

An owner-operator is essentially a sole proprietor, or a single-person business in which the owner also runs the daily operations of her company. An owner-operator has the right to make all decisions regarding the business, without input from anyone such as a partner or board of directors. Because of the business structure of a sole proprietorship, all financial and legal elements of the company are tied directly to the owner-operator.
Look Before You Leap
Although becoming an owner-operator through creation of a sole proprietorship is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to start a business, it brings a unique set of challenges. Before you decide to take this path, use self-assessment tools provided by the U.S. Small Business Administration to help you evaluate whether self-employment is right for you. These tools will help you understand the long hours of work an owner-operator must dedicate to her company, the challenges associated with obtaining business financing, the pressure of finding and keeping customers, and the realities of operating on a shoestring budget. The self-assessment is designed to provide a realistic picture of what this type of business is like for the average entrepreneur.
Develop a Business Plan
Although many owner-operators develop a business plan for the sole purpose of applying for funding, a well-written, comprehensive business and marketing plan can help you organize and run your business. A business plan should include market research to help you understand and evaluate your competition, an assessment of your target customers and a plan for how to reach them, an honest evaluation of your products or services and how they compare with those of similar companies, and a detailed accounting of the funds you need for startup and operations. A business plan will also help you chart your anticipated marketing activities and help you decide if your company can be run completely as an owner-operation, or if you need to hire outside help.
Become Mentally Prepared
A challenge of an owner-operator is the stress that comes from being the sole decision maker and carrying full responsibility for the business. Long hours can take a toll on owner-operators, as can the isolation of frequently working alone, rather than in the company of others. Many owner-operators also fail to fully separate their business and personal lives, which can become overwhelming. Set boundaries between work and home and set strict operating hours. If time permits, join networking and business groups. This will allow you to interact with other professionals and help you promote your business at the same time.
Watch Your Finances
Like many other small-business entrepreneurs, owner-operators frequently work on a tight budget. Problems can arise if you over-extend credit to customers or fail to collect payments on a timely basis. If a customer is late paying you for business services, making you late paying your mortgage, your personal credit will take the hit and you will be stuck with late fees and penalties. It’s important to stay on top of accounting to ensure you are covered in the event of slow-paying clients and unforeseen expenses.
File Owner-Operator Taxes
As an owner-operator, you are responsible for paying your own income taxes, as well as your own Social Security withholding. Although you are entitled to a number of business tax deductions, the issue of linked personal and business finances resurfaces. If you take all of the deductions for which your company is entitled, you may show low personal net earnings. This can make it difficult for you to obtain loans and lines of credit. Bookkeeping and accounting systems are essential tools for owner-operators.
Find Affordable Health Care
As an owner-operator, you don’t make money on days you take off for vacation or sickness. You also have to buy private health insurance if you want medical coverage. Price individual private policies and investigate group policy costs. Some chambers of commerce and business organizations allow small members to buy insurance coverage in a pool with larger members, creating an opportunity for owner-operators to obtain affordable coverage.
Establish a Retirement Account
Although you may build equity in your owner-operator business, you won't have the luxury of a traditional employer contributing to a retirement plan. Consult a financial planner about options related to starting a retirement savings plan that will protect you in the future. Options include a traditional or Roth IRA, a SEP IRA or a Solo 401k. The tax implications and contribution limits vary for each.

I’m continuing to work through the fantastic Apostolic Fathers: An Introduction edited by Wilhelm Pratscher, and one of the truly fantastic parts of this book is that every chapter has a section on intertextuality. Besides being a generally fascinating subject, it is important for how we conceive of Christianity in the earliest of the early church. In the chapter on 1 Clement written by Andreas Lindemann, the relationship between 1 Clement and Hebrews is briefly explored:
The special similarity between 1Clem [sic] and Hebrews was recognized even in the early church. Eusebius writes (HEIII 38.1-3) that the fact that the author of 1Clem cites Hebrews means that Hebrews cannot be a “young” text; he also refers to the similarity of style and thought. Origen concluded from [i.e. according to] Eus VI 25.14 that people saw Clement of Rome (or even Luke) as the author of Hebrews. (pg. 59)
The section of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical History Lindemann refers to is specifically dealing with what Origen has argued about the nature and authorship of the scriptures. It contains some interesting features like the claim of Matthean priority and the denial of the authenticity of 2 Peter. The section referred to above says:
11. In addition he makes the following statements in regard to the Epistle to the Hebrews in his Homilies upon it: “That the verbal style of the epistle entitled ‘To the Hebrews,’ is not rude like the language of the apostle, who acknowledged himself ‘rude in speech’ but that its diction is purer Greek, any one who has the power to discern differences of phraseology will acknowledge.
12. Moreover, that the thoughts of the epistle are admirable, and not inferior to the acknowledged apostolic writings, any one who carefully examines the apostolic text will admit.”
13. Farther on he adds: “If I gave my opinion, I should say that the thoughts are those of the apostle, but the diction and phraseology are those of some one who remembered the apostolic teachings, and wrote down at his leisure what had been said by his teacher. Therefore if any church holds that this epistle is by Paul, let it be commended for this. For not without reason have the ancients handed it down as Paul’s.
14. But who wrote the epistle, in truth, God knows. The statement of some who have gone before us is that Clement, bishop of the Romans, wrote the epistle, and of others that Luke, the author of the Gospel and the Acts, wrote it.” But let this suffice on these matters. (Schaff, Eus VI 25.11-14)
To be sure, neither agreement by citation nor other references to the text allow for the assumption of a direct literary relationship. But the similarity of 1Clem 36.2-5 to Hebrews 1:3-5, 7, 13 is so great that the use of Hebrews by 1Clem must still be considered possible.
Placing the texts side by side the similarity is obvious.
1 Clement 36.2-5
Hebrews 1:3-5, 7, 13
|2By Him we look up to the heights of heaven. By Him we behold, as in a glass, His immaculate and most excellent visage. By Him are the eyes of our hearts opened. By Him our foolish and darkened understanding blossoms up anew towards His marvelous light. By Him the Lord has willed that we should taste of immortal knowledge, who, being the brightness of His majesty, is by so much greater than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.3 For it is thus written, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.
4 But concerning His Son the Lord spoke thus: Thou art my Son, today have I begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.
5 And again He saith to Him, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.
|3He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
7 Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire.”
13 But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
Lindemann notes some differences that detract from the idea of a close relationship between texts. Specifically, both 1 Clement and Hebrews use the language of “high priest” to describe Jesus, but they do so in divergent ways. Lindemann suggests that it is possible that the author of 1 Clement knew Hebrews 1, but not the rest of the letter. All in all, it is a rather complicated issue. There seems to be a clear relationship, but the extent of the relationship is anything but clear.

Three-dimensional photography for the evaluation of facial profiles in obstructive sleep apnoea. SW Lin, K Sutherland, YF Liao, PA Cistulli, LP Chuang, YT Chou, CH Chang, CS Lee, LF Li, NH Chen.
Date: February 2018.
Source: Respirology, 10.1111/resp.13261.
Background and Objective: Craniofacial structure is an important determinant of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) syndrome risk. Three-dimensional stereo-photogrammetry (3dMD) is a novel technique which allows quantification of the craniofacial profile. This study compares the facial images of OSA patients captured by 3dMD to three-dimensional computed tomography (3-D CT) and two-dimensional (2-D) digital photogrammetry. Measurements were correlated with indices of OSA severity.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients diagnosed with OSA were included, and digital photogrammetry, 3dMD and 3-D CT were performed. Distances, areas, angles and volumes from the images captured by three methods were analysed.
Results: Almost all measurements captured by 3dMD showed strong agreement with 3-D CT measurements. Results from 2-D digital photogrammetry showed poor agreement with 3-D CT. Mandibular width, neck perimeter size and maxillary volume measurements correlated well with the severity of OSA using all three imaging methods. Mandibular length, facial width, binocular width, neck width, cranial base triangle area, cranial base area 1 and middle cranial fossa volume correlated well with OSA severity using 3dMD and 3-D CT, but not with 2-D digital photogrammetry.
Conclusions: 3dMD provided accurate craniofacial measurements of OSA patients, which were highly concordant with those obtained by CT, while avoiding the radiation associated with CT.

I am at a loss as to how many sts to pick up for my project.
I have a pattern that calls for me to picking up sts to finish the outer edge of my sweater. The pattern calls for size 8 circular needles -36".
I am supposed to start at botton right seam, pick up sts and space sts to keep edges smooth and flat. I know that in general, the rule is pick up 3 sts for every 4 sts but that seems like a huge number to pick up and I was worried my needle will not be big enough. I will be knitting these stitches for 7 rounds.:knitting:
Is there a good way to decide on how many sts to pick up for this type of edging?
I think 3 out of 4 is about right, but it would make better sense if they gave you some idea of how many stitches you should end up with. I find that it can be trial and error. It is a comfort, though, that if you find you didn't do enough or did too many, the stitches can be pulled out without any real consequence to the sweater (though not to your time).
Maybe you can find a pattern that is similar to yours and see about how many stitches should be picked up.
A 36" needle is pretty long. I really believe that you'll have plenty of room.
thanks...i will look for a similar pattern

NEWBURGH, N.Y. – July 2016 – Faculty and staff from Mount Saint Mary College recently presented at the 14th Biennial Colloquium of Dominican Colleges and Universities.
Hosted at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Mich., the colloquium provided faculty, students, and professionals of Dominican colleges and universities the opportunity to reflect on the rich heritage of the Dominican Order – which is currently celebrating 800 years of faith and fellowship – and discuss important issues presented in Catholic Dominican higher education.
Members from the Mount community who presented papers at the colloquium were:
- Academic coaches Patrick Duffy and Megan Morrissey: “What Are Your Strengths? Holistic Advisement for Student Development and Success”
- Gina Evers, director of the Mount’s Writing Center: “Writing and the Dominican Charisms”
- Charles Zola, director of the Mount’s Catholic and Dominican Institute, philosophy division chair, and associate professor of philosophy: “Is Aquinas Still Relevant Today?”
- Zola and Barbara Petruzzelli, director of the Kaplan Family Library and Learning Center: “Dominicans and Benedictines in Collaboration: Integrating the Saint John’s Bible and the Dominican Charism”
Also in attendance was Ilona M. McGuiness, the Mount’s vice president for Academic Affairs.
“I found it inspiring to see how the Dominican charisms are manifested in the work of other Dominican institutions and to realize how much we all have in common,” noted Petruzzelli. “The experience really opened my eyes to how the Kaplan Family Library can – and in many ways already does – put the charisms into practice.”
Zola noted that there’s much from the colloquium that he plans on sharing with his students. For example, “The great scholars in the Dominican tradition still have relevance to the issues and topics that we face today, especially St. Thomas Aquinas’s appreciation for Jewish and Islamic scholarship, but also his commitment to Catholic intellectualism.”
One of the strengths of the colloquium was its diversity, explained Evers.
“The Colloquium was incredibly inclusive and affirming of all voices and perspectives, and that was reflected in the work of other faculty and staff members presenting from the 18 Dominican schools,” she said. “Attending the colloquium was an external, positive reinforcement that we are providing opportunities for our students to discover their own truths.”
The Mount presenters were also proud to display the college’s recently completed quilt commemorating the 800th Jubilee of the Dominican Order. From faculty and staff to students and alumni, members of the Mount community joined forces to create the piece, which celebrates the rich history and charisms of the Dominican Order and honors the Mount’s connection.
The quilt was inspired by the art of the Saint John’s Bible – the first handwritten and illuminated Bible produced in more than 500 years. Through a sharing program with St. John’s University, the Mount community has enjoyed living and learning with two fine art reproduction volumes of the Saint John’s Bible over the last academic year.
The Dominican Sisters founded Mount Saint Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y. in 1959, using as a guideline the four pillars of Dominican life: study, prayer, service, and community.
St. Dominic established the first community of the Order of Preachers in the 13th century.
The Jubilee Quilt was created under the direction of Laura Nicholls, Mount Desmond Campus art instructor, certified calligrapher, and former art teacher at St. Thomas Aquinas College and in the Nanuet Public Schools. The project was co-sponsored by the Catholic and Dominican Institute and the Saint John’s Bible Planning Team.

Very comfortable full-size QWERTY keyboard. Lots of iPad-specific keys. Carrying case doubles as stand for iPad. Easy to connect.
Heavy. Doesn't double as an iPad cover like many other add-on keyboard options.
If you frequently use your iPad for writing or emailing, a Bluetooth keyboard is a must-have accessory, and the the Logitech Tablet Keyboard is a good option, but it doesn't offer any unique or special functionality.
The Apple iPad is good at a lot of things, but most people agree that typing long missives isn't one of them. Many on-screen keyboards are tough to use for long periods, and the iPad's is no exception. For many, a Bluetooth keyboard is a must-have accessory that makes typing easier and faster, and more closely approximates the utility of a laptop in a more-portable and longer-lasting package. The $69 (direct) Logitech Tablet Keyboard (for iPad) is one of the most comfortable Bluetooth keyboards I've tested, pairing a full-size QWERTY keyboard with plenty of iPad-specific keys and a clever stand/case. If you can't take the on-screen keyboard anymore, the Tablet Keyboard is a great alternativethough it's not markedly better than the Zagg Zaggmate with Keyboard ($99.99, 3.5 stars) or Apple's own Wireless Keyboard ($79, 4 stars) or iPad Keyboard Dock ($69, 3.5 stars).
//Compare Similar ProductsCompare
The Logitech Tablet Keyboard is very comfortable and you'll get used to it quick. At 5.13 by 11.38 by .68 inches (HWD) at its largest point, it's not small, but the pay-off is a full-size QWERTY keyboard. (It's actually slightly larger than the desktop Apple keyboard I use every day.) That's a big advantage over the smaller Zaggmate, which took me several hours to get comfortable with. At almost 14 ounces, though, you'll definitely notice the Tablet Keyboard's additional weight in your bag.
The keyboard itself is black, with keys labeled in white and function keys labeled in blue. There's a Logitech logo above the keyboard, along with the Power switch and two indicator lights, one for the battery and one for Bluetooth status. The Tablet Keyboard runs on four AA batteries (four are included). Those four batteries, Logitech says, will last for several weeks of regular use, and since they're AAs they'll be easy to replace. I'd recommend buying some rechargeable batteries, though, if you plan on using this keyboard heavily.
Included in the package is a hard, plastic carrying case for the Tablet Keyboard (not for the iPad itself). There's not much value to it as a carrying case that I could tell, though, since the keyboard itself feels pretty rugged and is easy to clean. It does, however, fold out to become a stand for the iPad that holds it in either orientation, at a perfect angle for typing. Typing with the iPad flat on a table is awkward, and having a stand included is a nice touch, but if you've already got a case for your iPad you'll probably leave the case at home.
Using the Keyboard
Connecting the Tablet Keyboard to the iPad is dead simple: Just turn on Bluetooth on the iPad, and then turn on the Tablet Keyboard. In the iPad's Bluetooth devices list, up pops the keyboard. Tap it, and you'll be prompted to type a four-digit code on the keyboard, and press Enter. Once that's done, you're connected, and next time you turn on the Tablet Keyboard it will automatically connect as long as the iPad's Bluetooth connection is turned on. The connection will hold up to about 30 feet, as is the case with Bluetooth.
The keys are chiclet-style, which means they're individual squares with a space in between each key (like on Apple computers). Whether or not you prefer that kind of keyboard is pure preference, but I found the keys easy to type on, and I rarely hit the wrong key since they're spaced out nicely. The keys offer a satisfying clack, but they felt a bit plasticky and flimsy under my fingers.
The reason this keyboard is billed as "for iPad," is its blue function keys. (There's a "for Android" version, too, with Android-specific function keys too.) With a press of the "fn" key in the bottom left corner, a host of iPad-specific functions become available: Media controls, Search, Home, Lock, and more are all just a keyboard shortcut away. That's a big deal, because the keyboard/touch-screen combination can be cumbersome, involving a lot of back-and-forth between the keyboard and the screen. With the most common functions available on the keyboard, your fingers stay put and you work faster. Similarly, common writing tasks like bolding text, or copying and pasting, become infinitely easier through keyboard shortcuts than they are with the cumbersome on-screen process. Apple's iPad Keyboard Dock offers most of these same functions, but it's not a Bluetooth keyboardit docks to the tablet directly.
If you're frustrated with the iPad's on-screen keyboard, the Logitech Tablet Keyboard might be the thing for you, especially if you want an add-on that's not actually attached to your iPad, so you can use it only when you need it. Though it's a great-feeling, easy-to-use keyboard, nothing about it is particularly unique. The Apple Wireless Keyboard offers a near-identical experience, albeit for $10 more. If you're looking for a little more functionality, the Zagg Zaggmate and the $99 Kensington KeyFolio are both solid keyboards that also double as cases to protect your iPad. And if you want a stand, Apple's iPad Keyboard Dock charges your iPad and stands it up to make the setup feel more like a laptop.

Airbus Safran Launchers: 1st Ariane 6 batch contract bid by end-year
KOUROU, French Guiana – The company designing Europe’s next-generation Ariane 6 rocket – to be integrated horizontally, not vertically as previous Ariane vehicles — expects to submit a firm, fixed-price bid for a first batch of rockets by the end of this year, the company’s chief executive said Jan. 28.
Alain Charmeau, chief executive of Airbus Safran Launchers (ASL), said 2016 is the key transition year for his company, which remains a work in progress. Formed in 2015, ASL has been given broad leeway to reorganize Europe’s launcher sector to assure that Ariane 6 is ready for an inaugural flight in 2020 and able to compete on price and performance with SpaceX of the United States.
Briefing reporters, Charmeau said ASL remains on track to meet both objectives but has no time to lose. In particular, he said a review of the tax consequences to Airbus of an expected payment by Safran of 800 million euros ($873 million) to offset in-kind Airbus contributions to ASL must be resolved within a couple of months to avoid any impact on the Ariane 6 schedule.
But that is only one of several milestones that Charmeau said must be reached so that the company “is able to put a firm offer on the table, by the end of 2016, for the first batch of Ariane 6 vehicles.”
Airbus and the Arianespace commercial launch consortium, in which Airbus will have a 74 percent stake once the European Commission clears the sale of French government Arianespace shares to Airbus, would negotiate an Ariane 6 production order.
Charmeau said the transaction for Airbus Safran Launchers to purchase the French government’s 35 percent Arianespace share was submitted to the European Commission in early January, with approval expected by late February. ASL and the French space agency, CNES, negotiated a price of 150 million euros
The French government’s Official Journal on Jan. 22 said the French research, economics and defense ministries have approved the transaction.
Airbus’s tax concerns has already delayed the full formation of ASL, which was supposed to have integrated a total of 8,000 former Airbus and Safran employees by Jan. 1. Charmeau said the one-month schedule slip is not enough to undermine the 2020 first-launch date, but that the issue must be resolved before April to avoid production delays.
“This is a non-negligible event,” Charmeau said. “You’ll have 8,000 people whose employment contracts are going to change. We have 400 now, leaving 7,600 who are knocking on our door to get in. It’s only normal that they want to be a part of an ambitious new program like Ariane 6.”
What happens to Arianespace once ASL becomes the dominant shareholder remains a subject of speculation.
In a Jan. 27 interview here, Arianespace Chief Executive Stephane Israel said he expects ASL to abide by previous statements that it will maintain Arianespace as a separate commercial entity outside ASL, retain Arianespace’s Evry, France, headquarters and its offices in Washington, Tokyo and Singapore.
Israel said ASL has guaranteed in its submission to the European Commission that “a Chinese Wall will be created between ASL and Arianespace on the one hand, and Airbus’s satellite division on the other. That is indispensable; everybody understands it,” Israel said.
Israel was echoing fears of rival satellite builders that ASL and Arianespace would leak to Airbus’s satellite division confidential information delivered by other satellite builders in the course of Ariane launch contract negotiations.
Charmeau said a closer integration of Arianespace and ASL should create “synergies and efficiencies,” which in some industrial contexts is a polite language for work-force reductions. Charmeau did not discuss the future employment picture at Arianespace or at ASL once the reorganization was complete.
“Rearranging the [Arianespace] shareholder structure is not the goal,” Charmeau said. “The goal is a rapprochement of the two companies so that we can work better together and give ASL a better sense of where the market is going.”
ASL has promised European governments and commercial satellite operators that Ariane 6 will be priced 40-50 percent less than today’s Ariane 5 in return for a guarantee of five European government satellite missions, on average, per year.
Once Safran’s payment to Airbus and ASL’s Arianespace share purchase is completed, ASL’s focus is a mid-year Ariane 6 review by the European Space Agency (ESA).
ASL and ESA in August signed a 2.4-billion-euro Ariane 6 development contract following ESA governments’ general approval of the program in December 2014.
But these governments asked to review a formal progress report – a Program Implementation Review — in mid-2016 before freeing up the balance of the financing to complete Ariane 6 development through to the inaugural flight.
Charmeau said ASL would submit to ESA, in June, “a guarantee of the design and production cost of all services associated with Ariane 6. We then expect a decision by ESA in September.”
Officials from ESA and from the French space agency, CNES, have been kept in the loop on Ariane 6 progress, and it’s CNES that is prime contractor for building the Ariane 6 launch facility here at Europe’s Guiana Space Center.
One key decision was whether to turn away from nearly 40 years of Ariane rocket history and integrate Ariane 6 horizontally. Charmeau said that decision is now firm and affords multiple advantages.
“It allows us to move more quickly, both in the design and production phases, and to adapt to potentially higher production levels while reducing operating costs,” Charmeau said. He said that European engineers for the past five years have had first-hand experience with horizontal integration with the Europeanized Russian Soyuz rocket, which is launched here.
The current production rate is expected to be 12 Ariane 6 rocket cores per year. The vehicle uses cryogenic engines for its main stage and upper stages and either two or four solid-propellant strap-on boosters, depending on mission requirements.
The four-booster variant, called Ariane 64, will be the main commercial workhorse for launching telecommunications satellites, two at a time, into geostationary transfer orbit.
The current Ariane 5 rocket will be operated alongside Ariane 6 between 2020 and 2023, after which Ariane 5 will be retired after 27 years of operations.
Charmeau said ASL expects to build 20 Ariane 6 rockets before the end of 2023.

I work with wood primaraily. I turn it on a lathe and carve it with a tools called gouges. But to this I add resin, electronics and paint/dye to varying degrees as my design calls for them. Or sometimes none of them.
Wood is a phenomenal material to work with. Its light, durable, colourful, cheap and plentiful. It literally grows on trees after all! Woodworking dates back to as long as we have records but the modern era has brought leaps of technology in the way of electric lathes, improved materials for tools, modern synthetic materials like resin and a global community sharing tips and techniques such that the old craft of turning wood is changing into something nearly unrecognisable at an astonishing rate.
I’m a journeyman turner, still very much learning the ropes. My interest is in the cross over points between this ancient craft and the new opportunities for design that modern inventions make possible, perhaps for the first time.
Things sometimes go wrong. Sometimes they go wrong at very high speeds. But what fires me is trying something new in search of a visual effect that is perhaps as much luck as design
I use computer controlled lasers to carve stencils and burn patterns into wood turning, modern resin and high tech powders to give depth and colour but at the centre of it all is a piece of simple wood, a motor to turn it and sharp tool to cut it. With those you can make almost anything … which leads to the most difficult question of all.
What is it you want to make?

Many young adults find it difficult to understand their feelings and emotions. They often feel frustrated and confused with adults, teachers, parents and siblings, and feel no one understands.
Parents often say, “I have no idea what is going on in my young adults’ life. Anytime I ask a question, they take my head off and accuse me of not listening, not understanding and being nosey. If I ask where they are going, or what time they will be home, I get a look that says you are driving me mad.” Don’t worry, by the law of averages they will return to you as they mature and figure out we are all flawed. Our children are far from perfect but we love every bone in their body unconditionally. As a parent, you might not always get it right, but you will be trying your best.
As our children grow into young adults, we really start to see them coming into their own. They form their own opinions, they often oppose you and they generally change as they leave their childhood behind and enter the adult world of responsibility and accountability. This can be an exciting time for them while having fun and experimenting with many aspects of adult life.
On the other hand, sometimes, this time of change can be very scary for the young adult. They may feel very alone and isolated as they sometimes feel they have no one around to listen to them and understand their challenges. Parents can often feel so worried and confused. “I only make things worse, nothing I say is right.” This is perhaps nature’s way of allowing our children to become independent from parents to allow them to separate.

Mahabharat is an Indian Hindi-language mythological television drama series on Star Plus based on the Sanskrit Epic Mahabharata.
Star Plus decided to promote the show in Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat markets. Our team came up with the idea of creating a “Museum on Wheels” which travelled in the targeted areas. Weapons, clothes, jewelry and more used in the shoot of the show was displayed in a branded van. This van also had an LED screen where promos of the show was played.
The “Museum on Wheels” helped increase awareness, promote the show, increase recall and create a bond with the viewers.


October is National Breast Cancer Month, and local organizations are working with the American Cancer Society to bring cancer prevention efforts home to Aiken.
At local breast cancer prevention awareness events such as a health fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday at Newman Technologies, Aiken Technical College’s Pink Tea from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday and TLC Medical Centre’s Locks of Love haircut sessions each Saturday in October, the ACS is giving out fliers about the Cancer Prevention Study 3, a major long-term research effort for the ACS.
“It’s coincidental that our enrollment period happens to fall during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a great time to promote awareness about breast cancer and the importance of prevention,” said ACS community manager Lisa Glass. “We have partnerships with Aiken Regional Medical Centers and TLC Medical Centre, as well as Aiken Tech and the H. Odell Weeks Activities Center. It’s important to get the community involved, and we’ve had such phenomenal support from Aiken.”
The CPS3 study is open to men and women between age 30 and 65 who have no personal history of cancer.
The American Cancer Society Epidemiology Research Program is studying the subject pool of 300,000 people’s lifestyles, behavior, environments and genetics over a 30-year period in hopes of learning more about the causes and possible prevention of cancer.
ACS will hold two events to sign up people wishing to participate in the study – from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 23, at the H. Odell Weeks Activities Center and from 3 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Aiken Technical College.
They will draw a blood sample and take a waist measurement, along with administering a detailed survey of personal and health history.
“It’s important to become involved because we need to study healthy individuals to learn more about ways that we can prevent cancer. We know that 65 percent of cancers are preventable, and we want that number to rise,” Glass said.
Study participants will receive annual newsletters on the study’s progress and follow-up surveys every few years to update study information.
All information given to the ACS as part of the study will be kept in strictest confidence, Glass said.
“We want subjects between 30 and 65 who are cancer-free to make a small blood donation, have their waist measured and complete surveys every two to three years to help us find more ways to prevent cancer and find cures. The first studies had more men involved, and cancer affects everyone, so it’s important to have as broad a pool of participants as possible,” Glass said.
“To date we have 104 participants registered locally, and we have space for 200, so we want to be sure to include everyone. It’s important to register so everyone gets a spot,” she continued.
For more information about the study, visit www.cps3aiken.org. For more information about local breast cancer awareness and study sign-up events, call Glass at 295-3758.

Oil lamps are a light source for use in dark places. Like all low-quality light sources, it is recommended that several lamps are used if this is the only option, and a tinderbox is available in case the lamp goes out.
Empty oil lamps can be made using the Crafting skill at level 12 by glassblowing molten glass, or bought from Dorgesh-Kaan or from other players. An empty oil lamp must then be filled with lamp oil to obtain an oil lamp (oil). To light it, players require level 12 in Firemaking.
An oil lamp can be combined with an oil lantern frame (forged from iron) to make an oil lantern for 50 Crafting experience. Combining the lantern frame with the lamp does not require a furnace or anvil.
Explosion of gasEdit
Oil lamps can provoke an explosion in the Lumbridge Swamp Caves. Players would have to move to a safer place (a few squares away) when the message reads:
- Your oil lamp flares brightly.
If they succeed, the message reads:
- Your oil lamp stops flaring.
If the lamp extinguishes, and players experience an explosion, they will lose around 150 life points. The message reads:
- The swamp gas explodes!
Extinguishment of lightEdit
The lamp may be extinguished for various reasons (falling into water, explosion, etc.) If players do not relight it fast enough, the message reads:
- You hear tiny insects skittering over the ground...
A while later, the next message reads:
- Tiny biting insects swarm all over you!
Players will start to lose 10 life points every few seconds until they die, or until the lamp is re-lit.


Get Scandalous with a bit of Red Musk
Who remembers White Musk? The iconic fragrance that was part of any 80’s child beauty routine. In 1981 The Body Shop launched White Musk, the first fragrance of its time to defy the fragrance industry and produce an animal cruelty free musk.
The Hot new fragrance has to be Red Musk, a unique blend of Tobacco, Pepper and Cinnamon. Oddly the fragrance contains no flowers, however this strong yet contemplative mixture of ingredients provides a sexy, scandalous and feminine scent, that at £20 (for the eau de parfum) is a must have for the dressing table.
The experts at The Body Shop Christmas event were nice enough to explain the key ingredient of Red Musk to me. After each ingredient sniff I was given a pot of coffee beans to smell, as apparently the aroma of coffee beans clears your nasal palate. Which believe it or not did work! The base of Red Musk is Tobacco which is most commonly used in men’s fragrances. In Red Musk the right amount gives a slight smokey masculine smell. Next comes Cinnamon, an ingredient that I associate with food like apple pie and danish whirls. Cinnamon balances the Tobacco with a sweet/savory scent. The final ingredient in Red Musk is Pepper, another strong ingredient like Tobacco that adds the relevant kick to offset the cinnamon.

I like to use a mixture of raw almonds, walnuts, and pecans but you can use whatever nuts you're Mashuga for.
2 cups raw mixed nuts
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
In a medium saucepan, combine all the ingredients except the nuts. Heat on medium until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the nuts, stirring to coat.
Arrange evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the nuts are fragrant and toasted, stirring occasionally. Be careful not to leave them too long or the nuts and sugar will burn. Let cool before serving. Seriously, let them cool, these babies will be hot.

- Fandango revealed in an interview with CT.com that initially, Vince McMahon had an idea for a male stripper gimmick under the name Johnny Curtis. They realized just a few dark matches in the gimmick was risky and not quite PG. This is when Fandango was created, which is basically a toned down version of the original character.
- WWE is looking to hire a new head creative writer for Raw and Smackdown. Here’s what the job listing looks like – The Lead Writer will be responsible for building the weekly WWE flagship television scripts (RAW and SmackDown); helping develop long term story arcs, as well as character backstory for current and developing WWE Superstars and Divas. More details are available now at this link.
- The company is also seeing a Vice President for WWE Kids Entertainment. The job looks like this – “The VP, WWE Kids Entertainment is responsible for overseeing the strategic development,execution, and promotion of our WWE Kids Entertainment initiative. This person will drive internal partnerships leading kid focused projects involving programming and production, digital, social and web, consumer products, international, marketing and fan engagement initiatives as well as identifying opportunities for external partnerships, acquisitions and CSR events.”
- Evan Bourne says he’s good to go. The following is from Twitter – “I’m healthy enough! It’ll be soon!” Bourne’s been out for over a year after suffering a mid-foot fracture following consecutive WWE Wellness Policy violations (a total of 90 days suspended). He worked a WWE NXT live event on 3/28 to test his foot.
- World Heavyweight Champion Dolph Ziggler is expected to appear at Saturday’s WWE live event from the Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA. An email was sent to ticketholders, stating he would appear with Big E Langston in his match against Alberto Del Rio with Ricardo Rodriguez. Ziggler has been off the road since suffering a concussion at the May 7th Smackdown taping in Raleigh, North Carolina. He’s also advertised for Sunday’s WWE live event in Poughkeepsie, NY and next week’s television tapings.
- WWE Champion John Cena was at the Philadelphia Comic-Con on Thursday. He signed autographs and let fans hold the WWE Championship belt. According to people that attended the meet and greet, Cena was very personable and kind.
- Bret Hart apologized for his joke to Pat Patterson during Bret Hart Appreciation Night that took place after this week’s Monday Night Raw in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Hart wrote the following on Facebook: “I sincerely apologize to anyone that was in any way offended by my in-ring joke to Pat Patterson on Monday, especially to Pat, whom I hold in the highest regard. I was only trying to take some of the edge off an emotionally challenging moment and I failed. The comment does not in any way reflect my feelings toward the gay and lesbian community. B” For those that missed it, Patterson said something about taking a knee and Hart said that he gets scared when Pat gets on his knees. Jerry Lawler tried to sidestep the joke to no avail. Patterson is openly homosexual.
- This week’s episode of Impact Wrestling drew an average viewing audience of 1,016,000 viewers on Spike TV. TNA has to be disappointed, not only headed into Sunday’s Slammiversary XI pay-per-view but their first week in the 9/8c timeslot. The company is hopeful the timeslot change will benefit them in the long run.

- Adam Cole has re-signed with ROH Wrestling. The company issued a press release to report the deal. This news comes as a surprise to me as I received word from a source close to Cole that he had begun the pre-screening process to secure a WWE developmental deal. Cole recently took part in a WWE tryout camp. As of this writing, it’s unknown if something happened during the pre-screening process or if he simply changed his mind.
- Bobby Eaton is still hospitalized but his condition is improving. He’s now sitting up and scheduled to have a pacemaker put in in a couple of weeks.


Truck Bed Dangers
In the past ten years more than 1500 people have been injured while riding in the bed of a truck and more than 70 passengers have been killed.
Each state has their own law on riding in the bed of a truck.
Now one North Central Florida family is fighting to get the state law changed.
"It plays over and over in my mind why he was back there. I'll never know," said Tanya Lay.
On January 4, 2013, 17 -year- old Kyle Lay jumped in the bed of a pickup truck..
Not knowing what would happen next.
The driver was traveling down this road when a 75- year -old man struck the pick up truck.
"It sent the truck spinning around and that's when i seen the kid fly from the back of the truck and he hit the tree," said Darrell Roberts.
Kyle was the only one riding in the truck bed and was the only one who lost his life that day.
"This is the last place my son took his last breath," said Tanya.
The 17- year- old from Dunnellon, planned on joining the military and helping abused children.
Kyles' mother Tanya Lay, his father David Stone and his brother Demetri set up this memorial at the location where Kyle lost his life. After the tragedy, the family has become dedicated to getting the current law changed.
"A kid will get to get in the back of a truck if you allow him because it's freedom. We weren't there when our child got killed. If we were he would've been in the bed of a truck. I guarantee you," said Stone.
Florida statute 316. 2015 explains that it is illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to to ride in the flatbed of a truck, but only when driving on an interstate or a large highway.
"Our son got killed doing 25 miles per hour. It wasn't 70 or 75 on an interstate. So it should be illegal on all roads. period," said Stone.
According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, these 20 states do not have any state law in place.
The other 30 currently have at least some restrictions.
Florida being one of them, but Kyle's family believes the Florida law does not protect children from being safe on the roads.
"It's not logical to me if they are in the cab of a vehicle, the operator of the vehicle is responsible for that minor to be in a seatbelt, but I am allowed to put them in the bed of my truck without a seatbelt," said Stone.
Instead they want the law to ban anyone under the age of 18 from riding in the bed of a truck on any type of road.
"You can't be with your children at all times. So by getting these laws changed, by getting this awareness out there it blankets people to where maybe it brings it to mind that this is dangerous. Not just on the Interstate doing 70. Twenty-five miles per hour will kill you," said Stone.
Kyles' mother and father have contacted law enforcement agencies, the governor and other state officials in hopes of proposing a bill in the 2014 legislative session.
The family recently met with Representative Charlie Stone.
"I think at this point in time it's appropriate for the Florida statue to be looked at, analyzed and perhaps restructured so that we can have more jurisdiction and more control over the riders in the back of a pick up truck to prevent those tragic accidents," said Stone.
Stone said he is planning on researching how it would impact communities as well as the state and if there are any exemptions that need to be addressed.
"Such as the agricultural, the farmers perhaps would need some exemption in order to allow them to transport farm workers from one field to the other," said Stone.
"I know we are going to get the politics of it and the opposition,but let's do it. We are not stopping," said Stone.
The family has created a facebook page, t-shirts and bumper stickers that read" Truck Beds are for KARGOS not Kids."
"He is our driving force behind what we are doing. It's not going to bring him back and we understand that, but his memory will live on forever in these words," said Stone.
As they strive to change the law, the main goal is to make people think twice about what could happen if your child sents foot in the flatbed of a truck.
"If it takes 30 years and we save one then it's all been worth it," said Stone.
This past legislative session, the House Transportation Appropriations Subcommitee voted down a bill that would ban kids under six to ride in the bed of a truck.

Could a microwave oven toaster be much better than getting different home appliances? When comparing them to a traditional oven, a toaster oven will use about half the energy.
A very good choice and my referral for this sort of oven is:
Sharp Cozy & Toasty Microwave-Toaster Oven R-55
This device makes an excellent option for a studio apartment, dorm room, boat, camper or a condominium as well as is suitable for small heating jobs such as melting cheese on bread or re-heating a crunchy piece of pizza. Typical bake setups of 300, 325, 350 as well as 375 can be used to prepare easy foods such as frozen biscuits or cookies and muffins from a mix. Remarkably, the outcomes with these tiny bake products are rather good. When it comes to microwaving oven, as is rather common on compact devices, the Cozy & Cozy R-55 has a reasonably reduced electrical power (650 watts) as well as cooking can take longer than with a full-size oven with higher electrical power.
A number of tips are made in the guideline handbook that will certainly enhance cooking results. To microwave popcorn, it should be prepared on top of an overturned microwave-safe plate. This strategy urges microwave power to go into the bundle from below as well as from above and aids to prepare the snacks much more evenly and also protect against burning.
Pros: Space-saving. Numerous feature. Offers automatic presets.
Cons: Slow toasting of variable top quality, minimal microwave electrical power.
A few other versions to consider consist of:
SENSIO Bella Cucina 6-slice Toaster
Sanyo SK-CV8S Convection Toaster
Hamilton Coastline 6 Cut Toaster XL
Could a microwave oven toaster be far better than getting separate home appliances? When comparing them to a conventional oven, a toaster oven will certainly make use of concerning half the power. It's simple to see that you'll be making use of much less power in general if you go with a microwave.
When it comes to microwaving, as is quite usual on portable devices, the Cozy & Warm R-55 has a relatively low electrical power (650 watts) and also cooking can take longer than with a full-size oven with higher wattage.
To microwave popcorn, it microwave toaster oven combo needs to be prepared on top of a rescinded microwave-safe plate.
