Conversion of ALBM Photo albums to JPG image. ALBM to JPG converters.
It might be possible that individual pictures from photo albums (*.albm) can be extracted and exported to a JPEG file. However, because so many programs used or are still using *.albm files it is not clear whenever this is really possible.
Unfortunately, there is no detailed software record in the database for this conversion.

Well I really cant understand the price difference between the apple iPhone if you buy one from USA and UK. Well a friend of mine bought one when he went in America for $420, LOCKED on A T&T Network, NO CONTRACT. But the price of the iPhone is UK is £269 for the Handsent PLUS £35/Month for 18 month contract minimum, with the WORST TARIFF you could possibly get. You CANNOT buy the Handset SIM FREE! there is only 1 network provider here who provides it and its LOCKED aswell. And the friend of mine who bought his iPhone is USA just happened to have the preloaded 1.1.2 firmwire, which means he's holding a BRICK really because we cant find any place who can unlock the new firmwire, and also some shops tells us they can unlock it and it takes 1 week up to 3 weeks, but we came back and they said they cant UNLOCK it! SO basically it costs $1,798 US DOLLARS!

The US Supreme Court has ruled against Anna Nicole Smith’s heirs, bringing an end to their US$88 million claim to the estate of the late J. Howard Marshall II.
Marshall met Anna Nicole, a former playboy playmate, in a Houston strip club, and the two were wed in 1994 when he was 89 and she was 26. Marshall died the following year on August 4 after only 14 months of marriage to Smith; he failed to include her in his trust or will.
Smith challenged the will, claiming that her deceased husband promised to leave her more than $300 million in addition to the cash and gifts he gave her during their brief marriage. A bankruptcy judge in California originally decided in her favor, awarding her $475 million from Marshall’s estate, with a federal judge reducing that amount to $89 million in 2002.
Since then the case has been scattered over multiple jurisdictions in Louisiana, Texas, California and eventually in 2006 up to the Supreme Court, which allowed Smith the right to try and collect on the inheritance by sending the case back to the courts.
In 2010 however, a Houston jury said Marshall was mentally fit and under no undue pressure when he wrote a will leaving nearly all of his $1.6 billion estate to his son, Pierce Marshall, and nothing to Smith, a decision that has been upheld by the federal appeals court in a 5-4 vote.
The legal case began more than 15 years ago and many of the story’s principal protagonists have died (Pierce passed away unexpectedly in 2006 and Anna herself died from a drug overdose in 2007), which further complicated the case that reached the highest US court.
The ruling, which was a huge victory for Marshall’s heirs, was important because it decided that the bankruptcy courts did not have constitutional authority to rule outside of a bankruptcy court on a state law counterclaim.
“J. Howard’s wishes were always perfectly clear: He gave Anna Nicole Smith approximately $8 million in gifts during his lifetime, and those gifts were all that he intended to give her,” said Eric Brunstad, the Marshalls’ lawyer. | <urn:uuid:3d0d87b8-9fac-4039-b4ee-92cc810a530e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.inquisitr.com/116851/anna-nicole-smith-howard-marshall-supreme-court-ruling/ | 2016-10-24T22:06:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719784.62/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00026-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987264 | 438 | [

Hey! I'm a 26 year old physio. Originally from Melbourne but I've been in the top end for 4 and a half years. Looking for a new home with other laid back, friendly people. I'm rarely around during the week other than to sleep, shower and occasionally eat, and on weekends I'm usually out and about too. Not opposed to a social drink. Love a glass of red! I love my sport and exercise, and am all about camping and fishing whenever I can.

'I'll show you what will happen to the wood...Stay with Me, all the way to the end'.
Fifth Station: Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus to carry his cross.
DETROIT, MI (Catholic Online) - Abortion places a heavy load on our society. The damage that´s done to it by an economy that deals in death makes everyone thirst for justice. We watch as our nation's lifeblood is drained by these millions of "procedures." For Americans who love Life and walk by Faith, the burden is as heavy as the wet wood of Jesus' cross. We lift it, knowing it´s His to use for our redemption. Sharing the sadness and pain, we give the Redeemer a chance to speak to our suffering, aborting world.
Witnessing the destruction of innocent human life is the way of the cross. That unpleasant walk up Calvary. It's where we meet Jesus... but Simon too, the man from Cyrene. In the synoptic Gospels, he appears... mysteriously... almost accidentally... showing up from a place in northern Africa, where Libya is now. We remember him at the Fifth Station of the Cross where his assistance keeps the Passion moving along.
Why him—this strong man who took the load that was crushing Jesus?
He was an agrarian, scholars say. The Gospel accounts (Mk 15:21; Lk 23:26) tell of him "coming in from the country." He was most likely Jewish, having come up from Cyrene for the feast of Passover.
There were Jews in Cyrene. How many, we're not sure. It was mostly a pagan culture, originally settled by Greeks, but a province of Rome by Simon's time—and still ruled (in minds and hearts) by the Greco-Roman pantheon. At the top stood Apollo.
Strange that a man from a land of lofty mythological gods should arrive at the same time a broken, humbled man was being executed for upsetting the predictions of the Hebrew prophets. God was supposed to send a regal savior. A messiah—not a mere mortal. Compared to the perfectly-sculpted statues Simon must have known back in Cyrene, Jesus was a stark contrast. Yahweh´s response to Apollo was to be a king... not a criminal. This couldn´t be....
From a distance, Simon must´ve pieced the story together. The crowd explained. This mortal did what!? He befriended the sinful? Laid hands on the imperfect? Claimed equality with God? Told the people... even women... to call God "Abba"!? Enough said. Gods do not father these kind. He has earned his riddance from society. He must die.
That power to take a life. It´s what impotent gods like Apollo bequeath to societies when either...or both... feel their realms are threatened.
The pagans were in awe of their all-satisfying Apollo. His name was explained by Plato (in the Socratic dialogue-book called Cratylus). It meant "redeemer." Or "purifier." He was given other titles besides, like "giver of oracles" and "dispenser of medicines." An ancient stone Temple still stands in Cyrene today. His legacy, if you think about it.
It was a comfortable existence, this region along the coast. The Grecian gods had blessed the land. Lush, green hills and fields. A port on the Mediterranean. Even a spring—the Fountain of Apollo—that flowed with waters which the Cyreneans said could heal.
The early inhabitants lived an ultra-hedonistic lifestyle. Cyreniacs, they called themselves. Pleasure is the "summun bonun." Pain is evil—always to be avoided. By Simon's time, the norm was toned down a bit. Refined. More sophisticated. The Epicurean style, it seems.
The fertile land brought wealth to Cyreneans. Apollo's blessings. Among them, a plant, is now extinct. This large stalk—called silphium—was so revered that people carried it in their pockets... in a sense. An image of the plant was depicted on Cyrene´s coins, which was fitting since it was the centerpiece of the economy. Even in Simon's time.
It brought a rich flavor to food, and cured many ailments of the body. But this gift from the deities was cherished for a more important reason. It was primarily valued as an herbal contraceptive... and in large "doses" as an abortifacient.
Strange that Simon was grabbed, though. What made him stand out? Was it a jingle in his pocket? Or his healthy, Cyrenean physique? The soldiers were cruel. Something about him was meant to add humiliation to the King of Jews. Whatever it was, Simon was about to become an unwitting accomplice in the termination of an innocent life.
Like the Simons of the world who journey by Faith away from the gifts of false gods, we too have this hope that we're on a road headed toward some far off place called the New Jerusalem. And there, some day, we will meet a Man who says He is our brother... a brother who claims equality with God. Do we forget that the path must first skirt around the walls of the old Jerusalem where society discards its outcasts?
It´s on that road that we find ourselves. Right now. Today. That´s because Golgotha is the present. Like Simon, we may soon be asked by the God-less to pick up the cost of abortion. Abortion. Isn´t that the ridding—the casting out—of what society fears? Sure it is. And it isn´t free.
See, for a society that aborts and contracepts... well, things can get expensive. There´s all that silphium that must be produced and distributed. And then there´s those costly side-effects. Fortunately we have our chosen deities who make sure it remains engraved in our economy. And legal. Oh, and safe, too. The deities ask only two things in return. First, that we refer to it as "medicine." And second, that we don´t ask what it will do to future generations.
But we who walk by Faith know it for what it is: the destroyer of life, the poison of families, and the harm of all women. Now, we watch as it brings our nation to a halt. We were warned about this. In fact, Simon helped us hear the warning that day he shared in the Passion.
It´s an oracle for us all. A harsh saying. Especially for ears seduced by Apollo´s voice, which is sweet and convincing. Jesus´ words are hard—but Truth. They´re Immortal as well.
"Daughters of Jerusalem," Jesus says right after Simon arrives (Luke 23:28), "do not weep for me; weep instead for yourselves and for your children, for indeed, the days are coming when people will say, 'Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed.'"
Barren women? Wombs that don´t bear children? Hearing this, Simon´s brain must´ve rattled. He knew the earth. He knew that fertility was a blessing. But he also knew that men make trade of the things of the earth. It´s how economies are created. How commodities take on value. And how an herb used for food costs less than an herb used to cause sterility in women. Cyrene and the silphium on the coin in Simon´s pocket were a prototype of, well, us.
As the wood of the cross jarred Simon´s thinking, it shakes our world too. Sooner (or later) we figure it out: Jesus´ words speak to all nations, and for all time. We figure something else out, too: false gods deceive. We were supposed to be happy with wombs that didn't bear children. Breasts weren't supposed to nourish. It was all supposed to be about a comfortable, pleasant life. And the silphium of our era was supposed to make the world right. Using it, even the cosmos would be pleased. The globe would remain undisturbed, sustaining, cool and without anger. All´s we had to do was cast away the burden... separate out that which pleases from that which discomforts. It´s the language of ancient, dead, pagan cultures, and we´ve learned it well: Happy are those who accept the gifts of gods, and in return, surrender the fruit of the womb.
But what have we done since Calvary?!
In our selfishness and fear, we turned away from the True Prophet... from Truth Himself... who speaks of the power that´s within each and every mere mortal. It´s a power Apollo hates. The power to reproduce. The power to nourish. The power of fatherhood and motherhood. Especially motherhood! Now, our sisters weep. And Jesus, bleeding and beaten, calls out to us one last time, warning us that our voluntary barrenness is our shame.
"At that time," Jesus goes on, still gasping for each cherished breath, "people will say to the mountains, 'Fall upon us!' and to the hills, 'Cover us!"
Why would a man on the way to His death waste His words?
Perhaps because he loves us. Especially the wounded. The weeping women reminded Him of the future—a time when secret shame and private guilt... and the cries of broken-hearted mothers... would echo back to Him and His purpose.
The Daughters of Jerusalem cried for us that day when Simon let Jesus speak. At least that must be our hope. Like Simon, they heard the way out. With a question, this oracle from the Prophet of prophets is presented in full. It's the solution to our problem. The answer to the riddle. Jesus simply wants us to wonder—for His next words provide a clue:
"For if these things are done when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?"
The soldiers must have laughed: this bleeding, dehydrated outcast must be going insane!
But the question gave Simon something to ponder as he struggled up the hill of death. He would have known what happens when wood dries out. He was the agrarian. But it was all becoming so painful. The prophecy... the question... the cross.... Simon was sharing in the torment by now. If only we could hear the private words spoken that day between a man who was seeking his God, and the God he was finding.
I'll show you what will happen to the wood, Jesus said quietly while Simon dragged it along. Stay with Me, all the way to the end.
Jesus loved Simon, and the weeping women. And us. He would not put forth the question—especially after such a haunting oracle—then abandon His sad, hurting followers without answering.
This hill doesn't have to crush you, He would tell them. I will conquer this hill, and all the mounds of death. Stay until the end, and then you will see me on my cross... lifted up... like a tree.
His skin... the bark... was already torn. His cramping limbs would soon be nailed down.
Stay... just a little longer. They know very little about this wood I'm talking about. Every fiber of my body will be drained out, and you´ll hear Me say "I thirst" to prove it. Don´t hide. Just watch.
Simon would watch. He was about to witness everything in the natural world line up and point directly at an event that would forever shake the cosmos. It was God´s true Gift to the world... planted on a hill of discarded lives... to redeem us all. The Tree of Life.
Then, as if to prove that this couldn´t be real, all the forces of Hades and evil and death—they all lined up as well. As decreed by the powers of those who govern like cowards and liars, a soldier was told to raise his spear. It was pushed up... from that dark, dark place where all the hatred of Life has ever been stored... and into the heart of a son.
As mothers gasped, He was opened up. Water and blood flowed. He was... empty.
We know this mixture. It hasn´t stopped flowing since the day Simon met Jesus. It´s a sparkling river now, according to Revelation (ch. 22)... the Fountain of Life, at the very center of Heaven where followers of false gods and lovers of deceit are forever banned from polluting it. The Daughters of Jerusalem, and all of Jesus' sisters, thirst for it more than men can ever imagine.
Unwittingly, we've let our sisters be drained by contraceptives and abortions, making them barren, sterile objects. Like Rachel in the Old Testament (Jeremiah 31:15), they've cried themselves dry. If we ever get to the river, the Simons of the world must step aside to let them have the first drink.

Seattle won the toss and elected to kickoff. The Giants started off moving the ball with a great mixture of run and pass keeping the hometown Seahawks defense guessing. As New York got withing scoring range an untimely David Wilson turnover stopped the drive cold. This them would repeat itself later on in the game. Seattle put a great drive together and made some big 3rd down conversions to keep the drive alive and with Marshawn Lynch done for the playoffs with an injury Ryan Turbin finished off the drive with a 2 yd TD run to take a 7-0 lead. New York was unfazed because they had the confidence from the previous drive that they could move the ball. On the first play after the kickoff return Victor Cruz to a shallow crossing route 75 yds for a TD beating the Seattle blitz that was called on the play and even the game right back up at 7-7 to end the 1st qtr. Early in the 2nd qtr neither team could find their rhythm but eventually Giants did and finished off a great drive with a Justin Forsett 1 yd TD run to go up 14-7 with 1:25 left in the half. Coach HoodIII knew it would be a tall order to get any points before the half but was determined to do just that and close the gap settling for a 49yd FG as time expired to end the half. After the 1st half of scoring you would expect more to come in the second half which it did not. After the Giants had another key fumble to kill a drive Seattle was only able to muster up a FG to close the gap to 14-10 at the end of the 3rd qtr. In the 4th qtr it was a dfensive chess match with niether team able to land the killing blow but Seahwaks were able to muster 2 more Fg's to take a 19-14 to lead with 1:34 left in the game. This was more then plenty of time for the Giants to break Seattles heart but they had no timeouts left to help them out. New York starting moving the ball but the recurring theme of turnovers came back to haunt them with Jeremy Lane picking off a pass to Victor Cruz to seal the game and allow Seattle to secure the win. The player of the game for Seattle was their place kicker who had 4 FG's on the night to help propel Seattle to the conference championship. Great Game Avery another great battle. Who would have thought this game would propel Seattle to a Superbowl win. Momentum seems to be everything. | <urn:uuid:644974e2-fbcf-4b11-a485-17349c73b375> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://traditionsportsonline.com/threads/seattle-wins-defensive-battle-19-14.98655/ | 2016-10-25T23:07:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720468.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00088-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.982605 | 515 | [

Wish we had this site when I was young. It would have been a life saver for us .
Many years ago, when I was young, I worked for this single dad farmer for the summer. He had a 13 yr old hyper kid who was smart,athletic and a great kid but so inquisitive he would drive you nuts.
Anyhow he got the idea he wanted to see my cock and watch me jack off. I, of course, said no, but he persisted and persisted until one time when I was taking a leak, he saw me and said this was the time for me to beat off. As tired as I was, I complied and I jacked off for him.(I have an 8 inch by 71/2 inch donkey uncut cock)
I spurt off a gigantic load of cum which surprised me. In fact my orgasm was so sexual my cock stayed hard, and I jacked off another giant load of cum. Zak was in awe and didn't know what to say, which was something new for him. Zak was satisfied and thanked me, which surprised me again.
A little later Zak told his dad and his dad asked me if this was true about my cock size and all and I said yeah, thinking he was going to belt me. Instead he just laughed and said Zak nailed him also and he jacked off for him.
The kid didn't have any guy friends his age so what to do. The amazing part of all this is that Zak's dad and me had a jack off contest and, by golly, we had the same size cock and spurt the same amount of cum.
Our jacking off each other was so sexual for us both that Zak's dad at 31, and me, became mutual jack off buds for the rest of the summer. Zak was no longer intereted in cock and he left us alone. | <urn:uuid:d114e90a-3e5e-42fb-996f-7387e1efd4b0> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.solotouch.com/story/farm-jackin-19382 | 2016-10-27T01:05:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721027.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00150-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.99531 | 388 | [

Just what kind of church did the Orange, California diocese buy?
In three years, the Crystal Cathedral will be a Catholic cathedral. What is the Catholic Church getting for $57.5 million?
By guest blogger Megan Sweas
We’ve all seen the shining pictures of the shining cathedral, but since moving out to L.A., I’ve been really curious to see it for myself. I finally made it down to Orange County a few weeks ago. Visitors still flock to the architectural landmark, but a bankrupt mega-church is showing its age.
Aside from the 236-foot bell tower, looming cross, and countless statues, the grounds resemble a confused corporate campus, with plenty of parking for commuters. At a distance from the main buildings, an uninspired boxy white school looks as if it might hold cubicles, not classrooms.
Take off the gigantic cross, and architect Richard Neutra’s Tower of Hope is no more than what it is—an office building built in the 1960s. The curved stainless steel façade makes Richard Meier’s visitor center, completed in 2003, look like it could be the centerpiece of a technology company’s headquarters, rather than an ancillary building on church grounds.
These buildings are reflected in the windows of Philip Johnson’s all-glass cathedral, the gem of the campus. At first glance, though, even the cathedral could be a uniquely shaped 1980s office building, its dark window not revealing what’s inside.
The mish-mash of styles in the three main buildings is supposed to represent the evolution of Southern California modern architecture, but it also appropriately represents the venture of its founder, Robert Schuller, who has combined business, entertainment, and inspiration in his ministry for more than 50 years.
The Crystal Cathedral bankruptcy proceedings revealed how much business and politics go into running a church. The Crystal Cathedral at first opposed the diocese’s bid because after three years, the church couldn’t broadcast the “Hour of Power,” which bring in much of its revenue, from the cathedral. Schuller was a pioneer in combining entertainment with ministry, reaching out to the masses rather than waiting for them to come to church. He first held services in California at a drive-in theater. “Come as you are in the family car” became his tagline.
The vision he asked Johnson to create in his cathedral was one of openness—where he could see the blue sky, just as he could at the drive-in.
Today the windows of the Crystal Cathedral are slightly grimy, not shining like crystal in the afternoon sun. Inside the carpet is worn and spotted by the steps of countless visitors and worshipers. The Sony Jumbotron has nothing on the audio-visual displays of more modern mega-churches.
But as I sank into a faded blue seat—Row I, Seat 4—and I could see Schuller’s original idea. The parking lot behind the Cathedral disappeared, and all I could see beyond the white lattice-structure was blue. The space simultaneously seemed small and large—a boat that can hold nearly 3,000 people, floating through the expanse of creation.
A bird flew down from above, landing next to the long fountain that extends down the center aisle of the church. Trees grow inside, and a volunteer set up plants along the altar.
Or perhaps it’s better called a stage. The marble front piece, after all, is the backdrop for the “Hour of Power” broadcast. A second look skywards and I noticed stage lighting hanging from the steal frame. The balcony holds not only the world’s third-largest organ but also professional studio cameras. Seating is theater-style, not pews. I knew I was in a church—there’s a cross in the corner, after all—but it doesn’t really feel like it.
It’s unclear still what the diocese means when it says that “critical design upgrades” are required. The space could benefit from a sprucing up, but I hope the diocese goes further than that. Losing the “studio” elements in the cathedral would eliminate some distractions from worship, but the rest of the campus, which is so wrapped up in Schuller's story, needs to be considered too.
The board of the church ended up supporting the diocese bid because they wanted to see their cathedral remain a church. But is an evangelical mega-church fundamentally different from a Catholic cathedral? How can the Catholic Church make the space its own while respecting what came before?
I look forward to visiting it again in three years.
Megan Sweas, a former editor at U.S. Catholic, moved to L.A. to study religion and politics (and a little bit of church architecture) as an Annenberg Fellow at University of Southern California.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Landowners hoping to sign leases with natural gas drillers say New York’s proposed regulations put some land off-limits to drilling for no logical reason, under the guise of protecting water supplies.
The Joint Landowners Coalition of New York said in comments submitted to state regulators a day before Wednesday’s deadline that the proposed 4,000-foot buffer around New York City’s watershed extends to land on the other side of ridgelines where the water flows away from the city’s watershed.
The group also said the regulations are weaker than their leases in some respects. While the Department of Environmental Conservation would allow open pits for storage of some fluids used in the drilling process, the coalition’s leases would ban open pits and require steel tanks instead.
“We formed organizations to do the research, hire the experts, and find the most environmentally safe way it can be done,” coalition president Dan Fitzsimmons said Wednesday. “We want to protect our land. Gas companies don’t always have the best record.” | <urn:uuid:45a2f7b7-e00a-47a9-bf01-dd1306f4d9c7> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.evesun.com/news/stories/2012-01-12/13979/Landowners-weigh-in-on-gas-drilling-regs/ | 2016-10-24T23:39:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719815.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00459-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.935807 | 232 | [

If you think just dropping your phone on a desk and having it start automatically charging is cool, imagine the day when electric cars can wirelessly charge by just driving down the road. The technology exists, it’s just better suited to RC cars right now, as Qualcomm demonstrates.
The company has long worked to make wireless (or induction) charging more mainstream, and the RC car it created for this fun video—a perfect miniature replica of Lucas di Grassi’s Formula E racer—is able to automatically start charging when parked on its special conductive pad. Shouldn’t all RC toys be like this by now?
Turning every road in the country into a wireless charging pad is a monumental undertaking, to the point where it might never fully happen. But there’s no reason that car parks in new buildings couldn’t one day be built as gigantic wireless charging stations. So by the time you were done getting shopping, your electric car would be completely topped off. [YouTube viaAutoblog]

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out a move for Sami Khedira - declaring that the Gunners' were "never close" to signing the Real Madrid midfielder.
The 27-year-old, who won the World Cup with Germany this summer, has been tipped to leave the European champions this summer, following their signings of both Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez.
And the Gunners have been heavily-linked with the former Stuttgart captain, with reports in Spain having previously claimed that a £25million deal was all but finalised.
However, Arsenal's French boss says that with Jack Wilshere back fit and the plethora of other midfield options already at his disposal, he doesn't need the German - while questioning who has been touting the player around.
The Frenchman commented: "I don't know who has put Khedira on the market - is it his agent or the press?
"We were never close to signing him. Jack Wilshere is back fit and in midfield we have offensive midfielders and quite a few box-to-box players."
Already Arsenal have spent over £60million on Alexis Sanchez, Calum Chambers, Mathieu Debuchy and David Ospina this summer.
Yet although Wenger acknowledges that their arrivals, plus the return of Joel Campbell, have left him with a large squad, he remains "open" to more transfers.
"We still have three and a half weeks before the transfer market closes," he said.
"I am open to it but Joel Campbell has come back plus the addition of the four players we have already bought.
"We have not lost players until now so we have a big squad at the moment." | <urn:uuid:d12ed7e7-f425-4285-8f54-d16080311029> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/transfer-news/arsenal-boss-arsene-wenger-rules-4020835 | 2016-10-24T23:33:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719815.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00459-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984265 | 349 | [

Okay, here's my dilemma. When I turn on my precision m90 laptop, nothing comes up on the screen. The screen is black, but you can tell it is on. The 2 lights, wi-fi and blue tooth light up like they are supposed to. But nothing else. The only thing I can think of is that I had it on my table and moved it off the table the previous night since I needed the whole table. I put it on top of my printer, a Lexmark 3 in 1. When I put it on the printer, I accidentally hit the copy button and the printer's internal started to move, I did lift the laptop back up.
When I later took the laptop off the printer, and opened it up and got to the desktop. It was then the screen had some weird looking fuzzy colors show up and then it went blank.
I just have no idea what the issue is. The reason I bring up the printer though is I'm wondering if there is anything magnetic with that printer that may have wiped out my harddrive. It seems odd, but not sure what else to think. I did put my Vista disc in the drive, but still got nothing. Also, the reason I believe it may be the harddrive is that I took it out and placed it in a friend's dell laptop, and it went through a test, and it said everything was fine except the harddrive. Not sure if that's because it wasn't the actual drive that goes with that laptop.
Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Not sure what else I can put on here for info.
Try an external monitor - is there an image on it?
I tried that earlier also, but got nothing. I actually tried 2 types of monitors, and still got no image.
One thing I did notice is that the laptop seems to be much hotter than usual. Could that also a potential issue? | <urn:uuid:4dfbdd5b-4868-4a01-8260-f7566fa0ed4a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/laptop/f/3518/t/19259795 | 2016-10-26T00:32:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720471.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00521-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979889 | 394 | [

I missed this last week, partly because I don’t really care (does the age of your blog mean anything?) and partly because I’m under an avalanche at work and partly because I’ve got a lot of stuff going on outside of work that is clogging up my brain. That’s not a complaint, just a description of where I am at right now. Definitely feel like I need to do more blogging, so acknowledging my bloggaversary is a good way to jump back in, I suppose.
Anyway, last week marked 4 years of blogging for me. And today, while I was coloring my hair (you have to sit still, you know), I did some ego surfing to get a view of what has gone on our there on the interwebs for the last 4 years and it still looks like people are talking about someone else, not me. They are talking about this blog person. And although it’s totally me, sometimes I just don’t feel like that person. I think it’s like this when the parts of my life I don’t really blog about; family, relationships, my perception of my own mental health (really thought about inserting an emoticon here…I’m kind of kidding, kind of); when all that stuff is what’s swirling around my head. Whee!
So I have some blog posts percolating that will be coming soon. You know, work related stuff. I’m better at pretending that I have all this work stuff pulled together than I do other stuff.
Oh anyway, happy 4th birthday, Blog Heather. Have a cupcake. Or ten. | <urn:uuid:f912a6a0-2785-43aa-b19b-56b81fbb0f36> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/heatherleigh/2008/03/22/my-blog-is-a-pre-schooler/ | 2016-10-26T00:50:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720471.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00521-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.962822 | 349 | [

When Armistead Maupin’s The Night Listener came out in 2000, many noted the similarities between its story and that of JT LeRoy’s. The Night Listener was a fictionalized account of the case of Anthony Godby Johnson. Johnson was supposedly a teenager with AIDS who had endured an incredibly abusive childhood until he was adopted, at 11, by a “social worker” named Vicki. In the early nineties, he contacted the writer Paul Monette, who was himself dying of AIDS and who connected Tony to editors. After reading Tony’s memoir, Maupin asked to be put in touch with Tony and began a long telephone friendship. But nobody had ever met Tony in person, and it was noted how similar his voice was to that of his adoptive mother, Vicki, the only person who would claim to have seen him. Like LeRoy, Tony built a network of writers and celebrities, created a Website, and touched the hearts of an adoring public.
Although his editors and agents defended him, eventually people began to suspect he was a fraud. After Maupin’s novel renewed interest in the case, the holes in Tony’s story were made devastatingly clear in Tad Friend’s 2001 New Yorker article “Virtual Love.” Friend comes short of proving Tony never existed and eventually declares him to be the equivalent of Schrödinger’s cat—“by eluding definitive observation, Tony remained perpetually real and perpetually imaginary,” writes Friend.
The implication of the article, however, is that Tony was actually a Union City, New Jersey, woman named Vicki Fraginals. “Tony was self-conscious about his voice,” writes Friend, “which was airy and lilting; it had never broken, Tony told friends, because AIDS had forestalled his puberty.” LeRoy’s “feminine” voice has also remained changeless, according to phone contacts, and he has said that his own puberty was delayed. I wondered if LeRoy might be the same woman who, once she could no longer maintain the fiction of Anthony Godby Johnson, created a new persona; I was interested in the ways that stories of suffering might be used to mask other, less marketable stories of suffering. Some minor investigation, however, revealed that the dates didn’t work out, and that LeRoy was clearly rooted in San Francisco—although the Johnson story might have served as inspiration, especially since a 1993 Newsweek article provided a detailed account of the hoax.
“JT was nervous about doing readings,” the man said. “So he asked me if I would impersonate him.”
It has occurred to me that there are months or years of my own life that were so unwitnessed that I could make up as many outrageous stories as I wanted, and nobody could refute them. In 1986, hitchhiking across the Florida panhandle, I was picked up by a man who had breasts. He told me a series of fabulous lies before pulling over, letting me out, and revealing that his breasts weren’t real, and so nothing he’d described—including a rape he’d survived—was true. He left me there feeling both disturbed and enlightened. This actually happened, but there’s no way I could prove it.
With JT LeRoy, in contrast, there are several facts that can be checked out. Dr. Owens is a real psychologist, the head of the Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatient Program at St. Mary’s McAuley Institute, which JT has raised money for. Dr. Owens, however, says that he cannot verify that he did or did not see such a patient. JT could empower Dr. Owens to go public with the information, but he hasn’t done that. JT’s mother and grandfather are said to have died. He won’t reveal the names or locations of his other West Virginia relatives, or of his biological father, said by JT to be a famous theological writer. An uncle, somewhere in the Midwest, spoke on the phone with one of JT’s publishing contacts, but he worked for the government in a secret capacity, he said, and was afraid any association with his nephew’s writings could endanger his career.
There is also a “cousin,” Jo Ann, who received JT’s checks for him, at least for his first book. But despite references in his books to hustlers and street kids he’d befriended, his acknowledgments are largely to celebrities; it’s as if he’d been born, out of thin air, somewhere around 1994.
The details in his fiction struck me as equally vague. I came away from reading Sarah knowing nothing about truck-stop prostitution in West Virginia or about West Virginia. This is less true of his book of stories, in which I could at least imagine that the author had been to Fairy Stone Park in Virginia and knew something about meth labs. The stories are full of clichéd white-trash characters and vague, nondenominational, child-whipping fundamentalists. And though I don’t know much about truck-stop prostitution, I’ve never come across a single detail in LeRoy’s work that evoked a world I do know: the world of Polk Street in the nineties—the setting of his most recent work, Harold’s End. JT’s work has always been marketed as thinly concealed memoir; that said, whether he is successful at making these experiences ring true doesn’t refute or prove anything about his life. | <urn:uuid:b014e869-c363-46bd-b638-a0c1b1402d23> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/features/14718/index2.html | 2016-10-27T06:40:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721141.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00016-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.986919 | 1,187 | [

China Orders Galleries to Remove Art
By DAVID BARBOZA
Published: May 13, 2006
Several galleries in this city's thriving arts district were recently ordered by government officials to remove more than 20 paintings, apparently because they dealt with political themes, artists and gallery directors here said.
The works, some of which featured radical portrayals of Mao and references to the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989, were taken down just before one of the city's biggest art festivals, which opened on April 30.
''A group of men came and ordered the workers to take it down,'' said Huang Rui, an artist and arts organizer here who had one of his works removed. ''We had to do it. The workers in the gallery were scared.''
In addition to Mr. Huang's own Cultural Revolution-era representation of a slogan with Chinese characters made up of 10,000-yuan bills (each bearing Mao's portrait), the removed works included a Gao Qiang portrait of a sickly-looking Mao swimming in a blood-red Yangtze River and a painting by Wu Wenjian showing tanks in Tiananmen Square.
No one is sure who ordered the paintings taken away. But the move came on the eve of the third annual Dashanzi International Art Festival, which runs through May 21 and, as expected, has drawn many foreign visitors. The contemporary-art scene in China is sizzling, and some of the leading avant-garde artists have recently become millionaires.
Western collectors and Chinese real estate tycoons are helping drive up the prices of works by artists like Wang Guangyi, Zhang Xiaogang, Fang Lijun and Yue Minjun. Many got their start in the late 1980's with sometimes not-so-subtle political themes. In March one of Mr. Zhang's paintings sold at a Sotheby's auction in New York for nearly $1 million.
Through much of the 1990's, many avant-garde artists were restricted from showing their works in China, partly because they were associated with the 1989 Tiananmen protests, which ended in a bloody military crackdown. But today they are like pop stars at home, with major exhibitions here and huge international followings.
Some collectors and gallery owners here said they were surprised by the order to remove the works but did not expect a broader crackdown on artistic freedom.
Over the last few years, they said, artists in China have been increasingly free to deal with social and political topics, as long as they do not portray anything too overtly anti-government.
''I personally don't think there's anything in the wind,'' said Brian Wallace, who has been in China for about 20 years and is the founder of the Red Gate Gallery in Beijing. ''No one is really worried there's a big crackdown coming.''
But others fear that a few galleries in a popular section of Beijing, the Dashanzi district, also known as the Factory 798 area, may have gone too far in testing what the Chinese government deems permissible.
The government, after all, has cracked down sharply on dissent in the news media and on the Internet over the last few years. And the Tiananmen Square demonstrations and their suppression are still virtually banned from public discussion.
Mr. Wu, for instance, said he may have been a target of the authorities because he served nearly seven years in prison for participating in the 1989 protests. Five of his works, which were featured in a show called ''Ash Red,'' were removed.
Representatives of the government came and said, ''This is too much,'' he said he was told by gallery officials who took down his works. A dealer, Chen Xindong, said he had been told by police officers to remove two works from his gallery: one that portrayed Chinese officials, including President Hu Jintao, and another featuring Mao.
''It's a pity we couldn't show them,'' Mr. Chen said. But he added: ''Such things happen. I don't think it's news. The condition of contemporary art in China is much better than before.''
Mr. Huang is one of the directors of the Dashanzi Arts Festival and a pioneer of the avant-garde movement in the 1980's. Since those days, he said, the government has become more accepting of experimental work.
Asked if he thought his own work had gone too far, he said: ''Yes. So we took it down.'' But he added: ''I have to do this kind of work. That's the dream of all contemporary artists.''

This recipe has been in my family for many many generations. it is one of those meals that brings your family running to your house for dinner with take home containers ready to be filled!!! I personally enjoy them as a soup but most of the elders in the family strain the dumplings throw em in a skillet with a few tablespoons of cottage cheese and of course salt n pepper to taste!!!!!!
We hope everyone enjoys this yummy cheap meal as much as we do!
Fill a very large soup pot with water and bring to a boil. dice up bacon, fry for a few minutes then dice up onion n add to bacon. fry until bacon is close to crispy.
Puree potatoes then put your potato puree in a large mixing bowl. Add salt, pepper, eggs and 3 cups flour. Once mixed keep adding flour until your mix is like a loose biscuit dough.
Take a teaspoon and scoop a spoonful of your mix. Dip your spoon in your boiling water until your dumpling slides off your spoon. If your puree slides off your spoon and your spoon does not come out of the water clean than you need too keep adding more flour until your spoon comes out of the water with absolutely no puree mix left behind than your mix is ready and you can repeat approx. 15 times. Add bacon and onion to the soup pot. Stir making sure your dumplings don't clump and stick to the bottom. Repeat until mix is all gone. | <urn:uuid:05910be6-ef8d-4b06-b84d-e22052b87557> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/other-main-course/mom-s-polish-potato-dumplings.html | 2016-10-21T18:35:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718296.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00139-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.964643 | 299 | [

Raw is Good for Your Health,
Are Your Vitamins Raw?
By David Steinman – Healthy Living Article
Raw foods are good for us. Rich in enzymes and peptides, raw foods add
vitality to our health. Why have we ignored this concept when it comes
to our multivitamins?
Why, when it comes to nutritional supplements, do we suddenly go to
the laboratory and a world of extreme processing? Why do so many of us
unconsciously choose synthetic, isolated nutrients created from
Why do so many take beta-carotene or vitamin E made from petrochemical
starter stocks at a chemical factory in Germany or elsewhere in the
world when they can have a raw, whole food complex with synergistic
interactions? After all, if highly processed foods aren’t good for us
(and almost all public health experts and doctors worth their salt
tell us this), could processed vitamins be any different?
Do we always require irradiation applied to our herbs? Must they be
heat processed so many once-vital molecules are left lifeless?
Asking these questions means we’re looking at things differently
nowadays when it comes to our nutritional supplements. We are seeing
more consumers passing over the products with single, isolated,
chemically synthesized nutrients in favor of a more “wholistic”
The way to do this is with fermentation using the actions of
beneficial bacteria, whose digestion of plants and nutrients melds
them back together into their natural form. Vitamin C is no longer
ascorbic acid but rather delivered with potency-enhancing
bioflavonoids. Folic acid, part of the B vitamin complex, appears in
all its manifold variations. Antioxidants, which are compounds and
substances that inhibit oxidation and may deactivate free radicals,
work best within the fabric of the whole food.
Many studies show whole food vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals
from vitamin C to selenium and coenzyme Q10 work best when presented
with all cofactors.
But most run-of-the-mill nutrition formulas don’t bother to use
nature’s alchemy to recreate the natural whole food fabric. Very few
companies know how to do this or even know they could do this!
Not so with
Vitamin Code multivitamins and raw food singles. Garden of
Life continues to open up new categories and opportunities for health
and wealth within the nutrition field. What they’re doing now—and this
is very exciting—is creating an entirely new nutrition category called
whole food raw multivitamins, along with targeted singles formulas.
They’ve looked at the ecology of nutrition and found a way to bring
you this concept.
Vitamin Code Raw singles represent a huge breakthrough in how we think
about dietary supplements. As I mentioned, the notion that our
vitamins should be artisanally crafted with benefits from beneficial
bacteria (also known as probiotics) is basically a whole new category
for consumers and the industry, one to which only a few of the very
best companies can aspire at this time; but, it’s all part of a
healthy evolution of our understanding of how nutrients work best—and
they seem to work best within a collage of all their related compounds
or code factors.
Everywhere, people are seeking raw or fermented foods to improve their
Why are raw foods so popular?
People who care about their health realize that raw foods are rich in
enzymes and many other phytochemicals that processing and heating
destroy. People are learning about the link between enzymes and
longevity—that when enzymes in the body are depleted, health suffers.
The body can produce only so many enzymes endogenously (internally),
and people realize food enzymes are as necessary to health as any
vitamin. But all too often processed foods (and vitamins) lack such
enzymes due to heat and other processing.
These enzyme molecules are only produced when food is in its natural
state or fermented with beneficial bacteria. Fermented foods such as
yogurt, miso, and, yes, even coffee, deliver an incredibly diverse
supply of antioxidants, especially powerful enzyme antioxidants such
as superoxide dismutase and glutathione, due to the interaction of
beneficial bacteria with phytochemicals. In fact, this interaction
starts in the soil when a seed is planted. This is the wisdom inherent
in consuming raw foods.
Many people with chronic illnesses or allergies say their health
problems disappear after a month or two of eating raw foods. Others
say they experience improved vision and notable drops in cholesterol
and blood sugar. Raw is good.
Paul Nison, one of the world’s leading experts in raw foods as well as
an author of a half-dozen books, including a classic, The Raw Life:
Becoming Natural in an Unnatural World, fell in love with
raw vitamins when he first learned about them.
Paul’s journey toward eating raw started when he was 20 years old and
he found his health was compromised with severe digestive troubles.
Paul was living in New York City, rushing through a frenzied life as a
Wall Street trader, but his poor health caused him to rethink where he
was headed. He discovered that eating seemed to make him feel worse.
Wait a minute, he thought. If what I eat is causing my troubles…
So Paul started experimenting by eliminating foods that made him feel
ill. Gone were the cheeseburgers and fries, the “gut-bomb” burritos,
and the spicy nachos. As he simplified his diet, he discovered that
the only foods that left him feeling good— even vibrant and
healthy—were fresh organic fruits and vegetables, as well as nuts and
seeds. But they had to be served raw.
“I finally realized that health doesn’t start with what we add to our
diet but with what we leave out,” he said.
When Jordan Rubin, the founder of Garden of Life, told him about the
exciting work being done to develop
Vitamin Code multivitamins and
singles produced with Raw Food-Created Nutrients, “I got excited about
the whole technology behind the Vitamin Code,” Paul says. “I’m
definitely looking forward to telling the world about these powerful
products because not only are they the only raw vitamins and minerals
I know of, but I also believe them to be of the highest quality. It’s
just taking what’s out there now to the next level,” he said.
“There are a whole bunch of people like myself who want to take
vitamins that aren’t missing enzymes because they’ve been processed by
heat,” he said. “The fact that Vitamin Code formulas are vegan is a
real plus for me, and I know a lot of people are looking for
food vitamins—even if they are not 100 percent vegan themselves.”
Vitamin Code Single Raw Vitamins
Each vitamin and mineral contained in the Vitamin Code singles
formulas is individually cultivated with beneficial bacteria within a
whole food complex of key fruits and vegetables, none heat treated
themselves, all certified organically grown for highest potency and
purity, resulting in a process that mimics plant activity. With a
certified organic raw whole food base consisting of the healthiest
foods such as bananas, parsley, strawberries, cucumbers, cabbage,
kale, cauliflower, bell peppers, and more, combined with beneficial
bacteria, perhaps the most potent vitamins and minerals in the world
are created, replete with plenty of code factors produced by the
action of beneficial bacteria on the vitamins and minerals and whole
raw plant base. This intelligent process expertly mimics nature.
And now in addition to the
Vitamin Code Raw Multivitamins, there are
raw whole food vitamin singles, which means shoppers can address their
individual health needs, such as antioxidants and immune, heart and
circulatory health with enhanced B complex support, non-heme iron,
full-spectrum vitamin E, vitamin A, and more.
Indeed, the big news is Garden of Life Vitamin Code’s newly introduced
line of singles, individual formulas that people take to supplement
their multivitamin. Somebody who would want to support anti-aging
would use their antioxidant complex, and people seeking heart health
extra support would use the
Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin E formula. Other
Vitamin Code Raw B Complex and non-heme iron
Vitamin Code Raw Antioxidants is a comprehensive whole
food multinutrient antioxidant formula with Raw Food- Created
Nutrients for targeted delivery of vitamin A complex, vitamin C,
vitamin E complex and selenium, as well as the powerful master
antioxidants glutathione and superoxide dismutase. These nutrients are
individually cultivated with their code factors intact, are naturally
recognized by the body and nourish as intended by nature for heart,
skin, eye, brain and immune support. For example, vitamin E recycling
in the body is intricately connected to other nutrients like vitamin
C, glutathione and selenium. Vitamin C is required to keep vitamin E
in its metabolically active form; glutathione is required to keep
vitamin C in its active form; and selenium helps to keep glutathione
in its active form. Vitamin A in conjunction with vitamin E and
selenium provides immune system support.
According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency is one of
the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. The most severe
form of iron deficiency is iron-deficiency anemia. Vegetarians and
vegans are more likely to consume less absorbable iron and as a result
have reduced iron stores; planning meals carefully can be of help, and
iron supplements could assist for optimal iron intake.
Women of childbearing age require additional iron to compensate for
menstrual blood loss and for tissue growth during pregnancy and blood
loss at delivery and postpartum.
Recently, gastric bypass surgery has become more common as a weight
reduction solution and these individuals are susceptible to iron
Blood donors are also at special risk of low iron levels and are often
advised to supplement their iron intake.
Many athletes who undergo strenuous exercise report incidences of
Some cases of low hemoglobin levels can be explained by temporary
increases in plasma volume. However, others suffer from reduced iron
status and true iron deficiency.
Individuals with health conditions that cause blood loss or
malabsorption may become iron deficient.
Good sources of dietary iron include red meat, fish, poultry, lentils,
beans, leaf vegetables, chickpeas, and black-eyed peas.
Raw Iron is a comprehensive whole food multinutrient formula with Raw
Food-Created Nutrients for targeted delivery of vitamins and minerals,
particularly iron, vitamin B12, vitamin C and folic acid. Raw Iron
provides 22 mg of Raw Food-Created iron, 122 percent of the
recommended daily value.
Vitamin Code Raw singles also come in
Vitamin Code Raw Vitamin B12
(extra absorbability for vegetarians and vegans), and
Vitamin Code Raw
Vitamin C. Vitamin Code represents a breakthrough in purity, too. At
no point during the cultivation process are the vitamins and minerals
treated, adulterated or cooked. Also important is what you won’t find
on the label: no binders or fillers. With pure encapsulation, Vitamin
Code nutrients are 100 percent active, meaning that every ingredient
contained within them has nutritional value and purpose.

Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel gave his mechanics plenty of extra work after crashing heavily in a wet first free practice for the Turkish Grand Prix in Istanbul, on Friday.
The 23-year-old German, who has been on pole position at all three races so far this season, spun on a slippery track at the exit of the challenging triple apex turn eight and smashed front first into the barriers.
The session was red flagged with 27 minutes remaining, with marshals clearing mud off the track while the battered Red Bull was hoisted onto a flatbed truck and brought back to the pitlane.
"There was some water on the exit. There was nothing I could do," the championship leader, whose Australian team mate Mark Webber ended the morning 11th quickest, said over the team radio after his car skidded down the barriers to a halt.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was fastest in a session full of spins and spray with a best lap of one minute 38.670 seconds, although the times were almost meaningless at a cold and gusty Istanbul Park circuit.
Spain's double world champion was followed on the timesheets by the Mercedes pairing of Nico Rosberg, 1.402 slower, and Michael Schumacher ahead of Renault's Nick Heidfeld and Russian Vitaly Petrov.
Ferrari's Brazilian Felipe Massa, a three times winner in Turkey, was seventh.
McLaren propped up the rear, with last year's Turkish GP winner Lewis Hamilton 24th and failing to set a timed lap while team mate Jenson Button did just four as the team opted to concentrate on practising their starts.
When 2008 world champion Hamilton did go out late in the session, the Briton then suffered a sticking clutch and ground to a halt with mechanics sprinting to help.
A little piece of history was made at the slower end of the Istanbul pitlane, with India having two Formula One drivers setting a timed lap together for the first time at a grand prix weekend.
Karun Chandhok, the Team Lotus reserve, was given time in the car instead of Finland's Heikki Kovalainen while HRT's regular racer Narain Karthikeyan was also out on track.
Chandhok, who made his race debut with HRT last year before Karthikeyan made his comeback this season, had taken part only briefly in the first practice in Australia in March when he was first out of the pitlane and promptly crashed.
Karthikeyan did not take part in that practice session due to problems with his car. | <urn:uuid:57a0e384-7684-44df-b271-fab741d5b4fb> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.rediff.com/sports/report/formula-one-2011-vettel-crashes-turkish-grand-prix/20110506.htm | 2016-10-22T22:32:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719045.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00201-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966741 | 532 | [

Two teenagers chased by a retired police officer after he suspected they broke into his Warren home have waived their right to a preliminary exam on criminal charges.
In foregoing their first opportunity to challenge prosecutors’ evidence and witnesses, 14-year-old Jacob Anthony Leo and Vinnie D. Williams, 16, were bound over Thursday to Macomb County Circuit Court by 37th District Judge John Chmura.
“In reviewing all of the discovery material -- the police reports -- there would certainly be enough evidence to establish probable cause” that a crime was committed, said Leo’s attorney, Arnold Weiner.
Both suspects are charged as adults with first-degree home invasion and conspiracy to commit home invasion. Each offense is punishable by up to 20 years in prison. If they are convicted, a judge could sentence them as juveniles, meaning they could be incarcerated up to age 21.
Williams also faces one count of assault with intent to commit murder because Warren police and the Macomb County Prosecutors Office allege he stabbed the former Wayne County Sheriff’s deputy who chased down and caught Leo.
The incident occurred Nov. 25, 2013, when the 60-year-old victim and his wife arrived home in the 2000 block of Hughes and noticed the door leading from his garage into their house was open, Warren police said.
The man, who also served as a military reservist during Operation Enduring Freedom, grabbed a gun before seeing two people fleeing the house through the front door. He chased the pair around the corner of his block in the area of Ryan and Common roads, and grabbed one of the suspect’s arms and tried to pull him back to his home, police said.
The other burglar turned around, pulled out a knife and ordered the Warren man to release his friend, police said.
A scuffle ensued, and the retired law enforcer was stabbed once in the chest. The blade from a knife wielded by one of the suspects hit the victim in the sternum. The ex-deputy, who did not suffer life-threatening injuries, fired one shot. Neither suspect was hit by the bullet.
As both suspects fled after the scuffle, the injured homeowner continued to chase them through yards and over fences for approximately one-half mile, using his cellphone to providing his location to a police dispatcher.
Warren patrol officers converged on the neighborhood near Tropea and Ohmer streets and quickly apprehended the teenagers.
Officers recovered a backpack carried by one of the suspected burglars and inside found items including military medals and a folding knife, taken from the couple’s home.
Both teens are free after posting bond and await a pretrial hearing in Macomb County Circuit Court on March 3.
Weiner said he anticipates discussing a potential plea bargain with prosecutors to resolve Leo’s case.
Williams’ attorney, Kimberly Stout, was not immediately available for comment Thursday. | <urn:uuid:698e175f-425c-473e-9c8f-5a5ff6d4e1a3> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.macombdaily.com/general-news/20140220/teens-waive-hearing-for-burglary-at-ex-cops-warren-home | 2016-10-24T01:57:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719463.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00263-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.977832 | 594 | [

This dynamic advanced two day course will give clinicians an opportunity to expand their “bag of tricks” for treating gait impairments by taking what they know about PNF and advancing it to the next level.
Franklin, TN (PRWEB) June 24, 2014
This dynamic advanced two day physical therapy continuing education course will give clinicians an opportunity to expand their “bag of tricks” for treating gait impairments by taking what they know about PNF and advancing it to the next level. The course blends the theory and application of PNF based treatments with principles of therapeutic exercise, the use of exercise equipment and manual therapy to create comprehensive gait rehab programs. The concepts and information presented in this PT continuing education seminar will provide the clinician with a systematic method to move from assessment to treatment and will enhance their hands on skills for patients with both orthopedic and neurological impairments.
Patient scenarios and video analysis of gait will be used to identify impairments for both neurological and orthopedic patient diagnoses. Analysis of dysfunctional movement patterns and the implications on gait will be addressed, as well as, prioritizing which impairment is having the greatest effect on function. Clinicians will be able to develop a working therapy diagnosis and translate their assessment findings into specific gait corrections and corroborate these with appropriate exercise interventions. Through the use of case studies and course discussion, the clinician will be able to develop a comprehensive progressive manual therapy and exercise based program to obtain the desired functional outcome.
Participants will use an assessment/treatment framework which includes motion analysis, identification of strengths and impairments, causes for impairments, treatment planning. The framework also incorporates exercise progression, utilization of commonly used exercise equipment and development of home exercise programs. Over the two days clinicians will review specific PNF patterns and facilitation techniques and integrate these into patient exercise programs to progress the patient through pre-gait activities and the gait sequence. Participants will work with case scenarios and go from assessment to developing comprehensive treatment programs for a patient with a neurological and orthopedic diagnosis.
This PT and OT continuing education course is 80 percent lab which enables the participant the opportunity for adequate hands on practice time. The concepts and techniques presented in this course will provide Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Physical Therapist Assistants with the information and skills needed to treat the ambulatory needs of their patients in all therapy settings. The theories and facilitation techniques learned in this course can be immediately applied and participants will have the tools necessary to integrate concepts presented in this course into clinical practice. Clinicians will be provided with course handouts and resources which can serve as reference material upon completion of the course.
This OT PT continuing education course is approved in CA, NV, IL and CT. It will be presented at:

The Conservatives were embarrassed by the request for the senior Tory to refund the money, which relates to his decision to remortage his second home to pay for redecorations and claim the higher interest repayments on his expenses.
Sir Thomas Legg, who carried out an official audit of MPs’ allowances following the expenses scandal, ruled that he should refund a total of £24,878.27, by far the highest amount in the shadow cabinet.
MPs have until Monday to repay the funds, but Mr Fox, who has already returned the money but disputes that his claims were out of order, was granted a special dispensation to appeal after failing to receive Sir Thomas’ correspondence in time.
He says his claims represented value for money because he could have charged the taxpayer for the decorating bills directly.
Sir Paul Kennedy, a former high court judge who has already ruled on more than 70 appeals, had hoped to come to a verdict on 10 more MPs who, like Mr Fox, were given special permission to have their cases heard after the original deadline by Monday as well.
But a spokesman for the House of Commons said he had been delayed by other work commitments. No date has been set for the appeals to be resolved.
MPs who continue to defy demands to return cash will have the money docked from their salaries or “golden goodbye” retirement grants.
However, the spokesman confirmed that little could be done to force former MPs deemed to have made overclaims to repay anything.
Ivor Caplin, a former defence minister who did not respond to letters from Sir Thomas asking him to justify nearly £18,000 in mortgage interest claims, issued a statement saying that he had not received the correspondence, but had now written to the auditor.
It is likely that he will also be given permission to lodge an appeal with Sir Paul.
Meanwhile, on Monday, Stuart Wheeler, the former Conservative donor who now backs the UK Independence Party, will publish a book in which he accuses David Cameron, the Tory leader, of failing to properly punish MPs caught up in the expenses scandal.
He said: "Potential prime minister Cameron appears to accept the very thing that will make any attempt at genuine reform more or less impossible to achieve - he proposes to leave firmly in place the vast, salaried political class New Labour has brought into being." | <urn:uuid:3c0fa4ee-5b88-4e27-8252-3c91c7b37a9e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/mps-expenses/7272825/MPs-expenses-Liam-Fox-must-wait-to-learn-fate-over-25000-overclaim-appeal.html | 2016-10-24T02:02:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719463.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00263-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987021 | 485 | [

A unique plant every gardener should incorporate into their garden is the bleeding heart because it provides a splash of colour to those shady areas of the garden. The bleeding heart is a perennial plant which means it will bloom again every year in the spring. This plant is often recognized for its drooping heart-shaped flowers. There are many different species of bleeding hearts available to gardeners.
Examples of Species
The most familiar species to gardeners is called Common Bleeding Heart (Dicentra spectabilis). It will grow into large mounds which can be 47 inches in height and can spread about 18 inches across. Flowers will bloom in the late spring and early summer. The flowers have white inner petals and pink outer petals.
Another species of bleeding heart often seen in gardens is called Fringed Bleeding Heart (Dicentra exima). It is called a ‘fringed’ bleeding heart because it has grey-green fern-like leaves. It will form clumps that are 24 inches in height and can spread about 18 inches. The flowers bloom in the spring and are either white or pink.
The last species that is of particular interest to gardeners is called the Western Bleeding Heart (Dicentra formosa). This plant’s most distinguishing features include blue-green fern-like leaves, and pink flowers. It is a low-growing plant that can reach a height of 18 inches and can spread across as much as 36 inches. More often than not this plant species is found in gardens on the west coast of Canada because it is found growing wild in the forests.
Growing Conditions and Uses
All species of bleeding hearts require similar growing conditions which include; planting in shade or part shade, and average to moist soil. You can plant bleeding hearts in full sun, but the plant will stop producing flowers midway through the summer when the sun is its most intense. They should be well-watered throughout the summer, but not to the point that you have waterlogged soil (can result in root rot). Placing compost around the plant will ensure it gets the nutrients it requires and will result in the requirement of less fertilizer. Planting in shade or part shade will also ensure that your bleeding heart remains in bloom until the fall. Since most species of bleeding hearts grow naturally in shady woodlands and moist canyons, they are well-suited to shade gardens and woodland gardens. They can also be planted in close proximity to a pond or stream.
Final Thoughts on Bleeding Heart
There are many different varieties of bleeding heart to choose from with different flower and leaf colours. A few examples to choose from include Dicentra spectablis “alba” which has flowers that are entirely white, and Dicentra spectablis “Steward Boothman” which has dark pink flowers and blue-grey leaves. Coral Bells and Hostas are good companion plants with bleeding hearts and help fill in the gaps after the leaves start to turn. Leaf spot and downy mildew can be an occasional issue, but usually this plant species will not encounter problems as long as you provide proper care for it.

Everything in life needs protection whether we are protecting our skin from the sun or protecting our cars from rust. What about soil? Soil needs protection from the wind, sun and the rain. Gardeners and horticulturalists solve that problem by creating a protective blanket on the soil surface called mulch. Mulch not only protects the soil surface, it also has the added benefits of retaining moisture and providing a barrier to weeds.
What is mulch made of?
Mulch can be composed of organic (i.e. formerly living) materials such as shredded leaves, hay, straw, grass clippings, and wood chips. Some organic materials such as cocoa bean hulls are aromatic but if you have pets it can be toxic to them (Harris, 2009). Shredded newspaper can be good to use as mulch because only vegetable-based inks are used. Inorganic (i.e. non-living) materials such as plastic sheets, landscape fabric, stones, and rubber mulches can also be used in the garden. The main issue with inorganic mulches is that they do not breakdown like the organic ones and don’t provide nutrients to the soil.
When do you mulch?
Usually mulching can be done during the spring (after the snow has melted and the soil surface has warmed up), summer, and fall. If you choose to apply mulch late in the fall wait until the ground is frozen to prevent the mulch from being used as a shelter to warmth-seeking rodents. Certain vegetables can only be mulched once the soil is warm and moist such as tomatoes and snap beans.
How do you mulch?
Different situations in the garden require you to use different mulching techniques. If you plan on mulching trees and shrubs that are surrounded by lawn, create a donut-shaped ring around each plant extending 3 to 6 feet out. The mulch depth for trees and shrubs should be 2 to 3 inches and should not be piled against the trunk as it will increase the chance of rot. If you decide to mulch a flower bed then the entire bed should be covered with a layer of mulch that is 3 inches in depth (Reaf, 2011). Make sure to spread the mulch evenly across the bed using a small rake to make sure no spots are bare (hands can be used for those tight spaces).
Final thoughts on mulch
There are times when mulching the garden bed should be avoided. Do not apply mulch when the soil is too soggy (waterlogged) because air will not be able to reach the soil and it creates ideal conditions for mould to grow on your plants. Never mulch on extremely dry soil as the mulch will take away the small amount of moisture in the soil resulting in killing off the plants (Harris, 2009). Please check out the references below for further information on mulching.

Gardens are wonderful places where flowers and vegetables can grow and flourish. Unfortunately gardens also provide a home for unwanted plants also known as weeds. How do you as a gardener determine if a plant is a weed? A few things to take note of are; whether the plant has spread to most places in the flower bed, and if it starts to crowd out the other plants.
Native vs Non-Native?
There are ways of distinguishing whether or not a plant is a weed. Most plants that are native ( i.e they have been growing in a region before European settlement) are not considered to be weeds. Weeds are usually non-native that is they have come to a particular region as a result of an accidental introduction by European pioneers by their ships or by the seeds that may have stuck to the bottom of their shoes when they arrived (Harris, 2009).
Why should you be concerned?
Weeds produce many seeds which is a quality that helps them take over a garden or lawn. Remember that one dandelion in a lawn can become a thousand dandelions within a few days. Some weeds don’t show up in the garden for many years, but once they germinate they can pose a problem for your garden. Weeds not only spread to all areas of the garden, but they also steal nutrients and moisture from more favourable plants. Weeds unlike other plants can adapt to all types of environmental conditions. Some weeds such as the tree of heaven can grow in the cracks of pavement and still be able to thrive. Other weeds such as the giant hogweed can cause harm when handled or even if it brushes against your skin because the sap causes painful blisters when it is on your skin and exposed to the sun (Harris, 2009).
How do you manage weeds?
You have a choice on whether to remove a weed or let it remain in the garden. It is important to identify the plant first before you make a decision. You can refer to gardening books, reputable websites, or ask gardening experts if you are not able to identify it yourself.
Once a weed has been identified you can determine whether control is needed. Should you decide to control the weed or weeds there are a variety of methods available to the gardener.
Physically removing weeds by hand or shovel are acceptable ways of solving the problem as long as you get all or most of the root. Sometimes you can encounter areas of the garden that are too weed-infested and require different methods of control. Soil solarization is an excellent solution for such a situation. The first step of soil solarization requires you to dig up the area, and rake off all of the weeds. Next cover the area with a sheet of dark plastic and secure the sheet to the ground with heavy objects such as bricks or cinder blocks (this will prevent the sheet from being blown away by the wind). Leave the sheet on the affected area for approximately six weeks. The idea is that the plastic in combination with the sun’s heat act together like an oven and cook up any weed seeds and disease-causing organisms in the soil. Please stay tuned for future articles on weeds and check out the references below for further information.

As our minds lean more towards a simpler less invasive world, and the environment and our health are becoming matters of importance, we as a people are searching for ways to minimize toxins and pesticide into our lives.
With the new laws coming up all the time banning pesticides, it is getting harder and harder to maintain the monoculture we call a lawn.
I for one am not a big fan of large green lawns. Unless you need the space for child’s play and games, why not convert your space to a naturalized garden.
Naturalized gardens offer so many benefits on the level of health, environment, economy, efficiency, and time management.
Health: by minimizing lawn and adding shrubs, trees, and plants you are contributing to the air, allowing for more oxygen to be cleaned, allowing you to breathe fresher air.
Environment: With the mass of development arising every day, we have lost much of our biodiversity that makes the ecological world go around. A naturalized garden can promote life in the form of insects, butterflies, birds and small animals. (Keep in mind, they won’t bug you, they’ll just enjoy your garden)
Economy: Most plants recommended for a Naturalized garden will need little attention once they are established. You will save money by not having to water plants every day. A well planned naturalized garden will do well with the water nature provides. Most plants are also inexpensive, and can often be shared among other Natural garden lovers.
Efficiency: Naturalized gardens, once established, become their own working engine. The insects are turning the soil and adding nutrients every day, the bees birds and butterflies are taking care of the pollination of plants. In time, this leaves little else for you to do except watch and enjoy!
Time management: No more weekly lawn cutting or water schedules. No worrying over water restrictions, or bad patches in the lawn. A naturalized garden flows and grows without much of your help. Mostly, you get to enjoy it! | <urn:uuid:653cd6c7-ed78-4479-921d-6d688160d585> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://ecoscapers.wordpress.com/ | 2016-10-25T03:04:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719877.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00325-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.940294 | 2,526 | [

Murder-Suicide in Jackson County
JACKSON COUNTY, AR - A local man and his wife have been found shot to death in what authorities are calling a murder-suicide.
It happened in Swifton Sunday afternoon around 12:30.
The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office says it received a 911 call from a man who said his father-in-law had called and told him he had just shot his mother-in-law and was going to shoot himself.
When deputies arrived at their home on County Rd., they found the couple's bodies on the kitchen floor, along with a single shot 12-gauge shotgun.
They are identified as Gayland McCall, 78, and Mary C. McCall, 79.
Their bodies have been sent to the State Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsies. | <urn:uuid:289dc2bf-f04b-48af-905d-f2396c996a74> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.fox16.com/news/murder-suicide-in-jackson-county | 2016-10-26T04:18:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720615.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00387-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984408 | 203 | [

Why do bathrooms have to be pale and boring? Step into the world of new-age colour with the distinctive bright shades of blue, red and orange from Cerim’s Glossy Wallight wall tile series. This collection is perfect for keeping up with the modern design trend of shifting away from the minimalist look towards colour, shape and personality.
Even better, is the fact that the Glossy Wallight wall tiles are slim tiles, being only 4.5mm thick. This makes them much easier to cut, carry and install compared to regular wall tiles and also reduces the load on building structure. Plus, since they require less materials and energy to make and transport, they're more eco-friendly than regular porcelain wall tiles.
The Glossy series is all about colour and shine. The sense of depth of this glossy, mirror-surface tile is created by the thickness and lustre of its glaze, processed with a new environmentally friendly technology from Cerim. The high gloss and homogenous bright colours of these tiles will definitely bring light and personality to any bathroom.
If a fully brightly coloured bathroom is not to your taste, Heritage Tiles also carries the Bianco Glossy Wallight wall tile which compliments all floor tiles and wall tiles in this series. Combine this bright white tile with the other colours to create the right touch of fun and playfulness to suit. | <urn:uuid:5270df51-c57c-4b01-96ab-5fe462c6fd36> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.hotfrog.co.nz/business/auckland/auckland/tile-space-botany/glossy-wall-tiles-perfect-for-bathrooms-22679 | 2016-10-26T04:12:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720615.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00387-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.934161 | 280 | [

But it is important for practicing school counselors

Using the national model, school counselors
look to build positive school attitudes and behaviors, effective writing and reading skills and homework completion skills by effecting change on students' academic, career and social/emotional development.
The truth is, this isn't all about guidance counselors

Tom Greenhow thought he knew his daughter as well. She used to like swimming and ballet. She was 23 and had a first-class degree in physics and astrophysics. Ten days ago she killed herself in northern California, leaving behind a suicide note addressed to her gun - "the only one I'm reluctant to leave behind" - and a hundred pages of rambling notes revealing her obsession with neo-Nazis.
How, you wonder, could these parents not have known? Didn't the O'Briens think it was odd they had no address for their son? Didn't the Greenhows notice their daughter's propensity for wearing paramilitary uniforms and her fascination with vampires and life after death?
They must have been wilfully blind or just plain stupid. Except, of course, that young unemployed men do leave rural Ireland to seek work in London, and often move around from place to place. Why give your parents an address if you're never long in one flat and you're calling them regularly anyway? Edward O'Brien rang home every month.
And young women do wear strange clothes, dye their hair orange and paint their fingernails different dark colours, as Jane Greenhow did. Her father, a 50-year-old executive with the Ministry of Defence, prided himself on being close to his only child. He and his wife, Blanche, visited her regularly when she went to Leicester University: "Jane wore black a lot, but nothing paramilitary, and nothing she said ever alarmed us."
There ought to have been clues. In retrospect there were. Jane Greenhow shot herself following the suicides of her friends Ruth Fleming and Stephen Bateman at a shooting range in Mesa, Arizona. Fleming and Bateman left behind right-wing photographs, pages from firearms magazines, chillingly cryptic notes and a medical cardon which Fleming had filled in her name as "Obergruppenfuhrer Stattspolitzei" and her address as "hell agony eternal". They, like their friend, were dressed in paramilitary uniforms.
But maybe the clues weren't so obvious at the time. Bateman had been Jane Greenhow's boyfriend in her final year at university. "He seemed shy and well-spoken," her father recalls. "We had no reason to disapprove of him. Jane seemed quite happy with him. He wore combat gear but we thought that was a kind of hobby, and there was nothing bullying or aggressive about him."
The two girls, best friends at university, both took first-class degrees in physics and astrophysics. Then they they got jobs in computing, an industry with a future. They shared a house in Andover, Hampshire, with Stephen Bateman. All three were apparently embarked on an interesting and adventurous trip across the United States. They must have seemed to their parents to be doing everything right.
Edward O'Brien had sold the odd republican newspaper, but a young man in a southern Irish country town with sympathy for the republican cause is a million miles away from being a terrorist. In the words of his parish priest, he was "a clean-cut young man ... devoted to his family". He had no criminal record. His deeply religious mother would have remembered her altar boy; she would have had no reason to assume he had become something else entirely. His last reported words were on the phone to her, a few hours before he died: "See you, Ma, I love you."
It is easy for adolescent and young adult children to appear to be doing what their parents hope and expect. Like the parents of Leah Betts, who died after taking an Ecstasy tablet at her 18th birthday party, the parents of Greenhow, Fleming, Bateman and O'Brien missed the signs. Leah Betts's parents thought they'd talked to her enough about drugs. They thought she didn't have anything to do with Ecstasy. They were wrong. It's easy to be wrong.
ADOLESCENCE is a time of secrecy. Sex, drugs, violence, shoplifting, friends: most spirited teenagers do things of which their parents would disapprove, and don't find it necessary to reveal the fact at home. Occasionally, however, they adopt a whole set of secret beliefs. It isn't easy to discern at what point the locked diary, the whispering with friends on the telephone, the mysteriousness about where they are going ceases to be the normal business of adolescence and becomes sinister.
Young people break the rules. It's one of the rules. Parents, unless they are foolish, must expect not to know everything about sex and drugs. But the thought that your child might have a violently distorted outlook on the world is more disturbing. So how can you tell? Can you ever be sure?
Psychologists often give a pat answer to this question. They may put it in a more prolix way, but basically what they say is "it's good to talk". Dr Mark McDermott, a lecturer in psychology at the University of East London, says: "You have to ask in what circumstances adolescents become secretive. There are still a great many Victorian and Edwardian parenting practices: ideas that parents must be respected and are there to administer punishment. If young people think the atmosphere is punitive, or that their parents are indifferent to them, they will retreat. So if you think your children aren't communicating with you, you have to ask: 'Am I unapproachable? Do I get irritated when they want my time?' Parents have to be sponges. They mustn't be judgemental."
This sponge theory of parenting is not particularly helpful, except to those who don't have children or have come out of the other end relatively unscathed. They can conveniently heap blame on those whose children collect neo-Nazi memorabilia or turn to bomb-making; they were too judgemental, or alternatively, they were indifferent. To those who are actually going through it, and know parenting is also a matter of setting boundaries, if only so children can test them, this ladling out of blame will only induce panic. And it doesn't lead anywhere, except to the banal conclusion that there should be more communication. We knew that already. That's the point: you can't be sure, even when you think you're communicating, that you really know what's going on.
It is unrealistic to suppose there is some ideal state of family life in which teenagers would tell their delightfully understanding parents everything. Often the secrets are kept for a good reason. Masud Hoghughi, a consultant clinical psychologist in County Durham, carried out research at the Royal Grammar School in Newcastle, in which he discovered almost all the pupils commit some ritual act of shoplifting when they leave school. They don't tell their parents for the perfectly sensible reason that it's better for them not to know. The teenagers know it's wrong and they're not going to make a habit of it: why present their parents with the moral dilemma of what to do about it?
The attraction of youth culture - the music, the drugs, the different beliefs - is partly that parents don't understand, don't have the vocabulary. Half the excitement of it is that it belongs to young people themselves. To let parents in would be to ruin it.
As for being non-judgemental, it's an unrealistic ambition. You can, for example, accept that teen magazines such as Sugar and Just 17 impart useful information, but still dislike their parent-troubling language of snogging, mates and lads. You may accept that, on balance, they're benign while still wincing at the idea of your 12-year-old daughter, who was so recently only interested in ballet, reading a magazine with the cover line: "What makes a girl like you sell sex". And it may be quite important to make this judgement, and articulate it, otherwise how will children ever be able to make fine distinctions of their own?
The other problem is that after a certain age it becomes impossible, practically speaking, to have the full and free communication recommended by experts. Once children move out of the family home, as the three young neo-Nazis and Edward O'Brien had, you can't know for sure who their friends are or what they talk about.
Reassuring as it would be to believe that parenting is a science, an experiment that fails because the ingredients were wrongly mixed, the truth is that it is more of an art. There are no pat answers.
YOUNG people are natural idealists, looking for ideals. And never more so than now, when, for example, a teenager growing up in the London Borough of Newham is surrounded by 53 languages and all the cultural diversity that implies. There is no homogeneity, and there are no automatic ideals.
Parenting has always been carried out by more than a child's mother and father, but in settled societies all the adults surrounding children will have an instinctive understanding of where the process is going. In modern, fractured urban society, adults can't agree among themselves, and have in any case their own worries about employment and relationships. The peer group competes for influence, and the peer group is subject to all sorts of cross-currents of ideas, many of them ruthlessly commercial.
Peter Wilson, director of Young Minds, the national association for child and family mental health, believes technology is developing so rapidly "it is difficult for young people to get a clear idea of what the future holds. The idea of a long-term career progression is not applicable. They have to worry about Aids, global warming, drugs, violence. They have a very different mental set from their parents. Contrary to popular belief, I think they are very moral. They're struggling to deal with dizzying amounts of change: it's not surprising they feel they need beliefs, a cause."
A cause may take the form of environmentalism on the one hand or neo- Nazi fantasies on the other. Mental health professionals sometimes express this rather more elementally. According to Dr Arthur Hyatt Williams, retired chairman of the adolescent department at the Tavistock Institute: "Both the life instinct and the death instinct are very strong in the young. Armies have always exploited this to fight wars, and the IRA does it now. So does extreme nationalism. The wild mood swings of adolescence explain why dangerous driving and dangerous sports, drugs, guns and fighting can seem thrilling to young people."
The Seven Million project, a research project run by the think-tank Demos into the values of the 7 million men and 7 million women aged between 18 and 34, suggested that on the whole young people are more inspired by the life instinct. They reject authoritarianism, rigid moral codes and traditional politics in favour of equality between men and women, hedonism and strong opinions about specific issues: the age of consent, poverty, New Age travellers, roads, or crime prevention. But the project also found more diversity than in previous generations, and a minority that had moved hard in the other direction, towards racism, nationalism and violence. It is expected that these findings will be supported by another large research project, from Barnardo's, which will be published on Friday.
It is this second group of young people, who are looking for certainty in nihilism, who are the subject of the film Kids, which has caused controversy in the United States and opens here in April. The film depicts a couple of days in the life of middle-class, urban American youth: sex, drugs, HIV, violence. The overwhelming impression is of an autonomous youth culture with no contact with parents, or even reality. Young men who have participated in a scene of stoned, pointless violence discuss it almost as if they'd experienced it through the electronic media. They are the children of the "me" generation, of liberal parental attitudes and the parenting deficit. When one girl rings her mother to tell her she's HIV positive, she can only reach her seven-year-old brother.
Adolescence is a time of insecurity, now more than ever, and insecure people feel safest with a closed system of belief. This may take the form of a conviction that Take That are the best band in the history of the world, or it may lead to dressing up in black uniforms, playing with guns and flirting with the far right. You have to communicate: you have to devote more time and effort to your children than to anything else and listen to them even when you really want to be thinking about something else. But you also have to hope. Because it's difficult to find out what's going on without seeming interfering, and once you seem interfering, it's even more difficult to find out what's going on.
Questions you may not be able to answer
1) What is the most important thing, person or activity in your child's life?
2) Where were they and with whom last night?
3) Have they ever stolen anything?
4) Would they find it easy to approach you if they
were in trouble with the police or at school?
5) Do you know what your children
6) Do they want you to know?
7) Do you mind them having secrets?Reuse content | <urn:uuid:e9fcb8f6-06a7-416b-b79c-5f23cd01b3c8> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/how-well-do-we-know-our-children-1340048.html | 2016-10-28T10:59:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721606.94/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00511-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.97991 | 2,698 | [

The US Secretary of State John Kerry has warned Indonesians that man-made climate change could threaten their way of life, deriding those who doubted the existence of “perhaps the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction”.
Mr Kerry described those who do not accept that human activity causes global warming as “shoddy scientists” and “extreme ideologues”, and said big companies and special interests should not be allowed to “hijack” the climate debate.
Aides said Mr Kerry had chosen Indonesia for the first of what is to be a series of speeches on the topic this year partly because, as an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, it is particularly at risk from rising sea levels.
“Because of climate change, it’s no secret that today Indonesia is... one of the most vulnerable countries on Earth,” Mr Kerry told an audience of students in Jakarta on Sunday. “It’s not an exaggeration to say that the entire way of life that you live and love is at risk.”
In the middle of a trip to Asia and the Middle East, Mr Kerry argued that it made no sense for some nations to act to stem climate change while others did nothing.
“Think about the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. It doesn’t keep us safe if the United States secures its nuclear arsenal while other countries fail to prevent theirs from falling into the hands of terrorists,” he said.
“It is the same thing with climate change. Climate change can now be considered another weapon of mass destruction, perhaps even the world’s most fearsome weapon of mass destruction.”
Mr Kerry’s public push takes place against a backdrop of a negotiation among nearly 200 nations about a possible new global treaty on climate change that is scheduled to be agreed next year and to address greenhouse gas emissions from 2020.
In Beijing on Friday, Mr Kerry announced that China and the US, the world’s largest emitters of such gases, had agreed to intensify information-sharing and policy discussions on their plans to limit greenhouse gas emissions after 2020.

Governments come and go, Simon Cowell's parade of talent-show winners are crowned and dropped by their record labels and the seasons pass. Meanwhile, the seemingly endless debate over the way English football is governed rumbles on interminably without an end in sight, blinking into the light only fleetingly when England crash out of a World Cup or a £21m World Cup bid blows up spectacularly in our faces.
Until, if you believe the sports minister, Hugh Robertson, now. He has set a deadline of the end of February for English football to come up with concrete proposals for change, to be implemented by the start of next season. He hopes to tackle the long-standing logjam in the Football Association boardroom, reform the much-derided blazers in the FA council and introduce a potentially controversial licensing system that he hopes will allow the FA to reclaim its place as the game's overarching regulator. All in the space of four months.
Previous attempts at reform have either foundered on the rocks of self‑interest at the FA, or at the Premier League, or both. Robertson holds out hope that this time around it will be different. He detects a momentum for change.
"The FA have started to move in our direction. We have achieved more in the last 18 months than in the 10 years or arguably 20 before that. There is an understanding that this has now gone on for too long and now is the time to bring the debate to a conclusion," he says. "They know what we've asked them to do and in the report we've laid out the three key areas that need attention: the FA board, the relationship between board and council and a licensing system. They understand exactly what they've got to do."
To be fair to those involved – the FA chairman, David Bernstein, the Premier League chief executive, Richard Scudamore, and the Football League chairman, Greg Clarke – they have shown they can work together for the common good, for example over the new youth development plan. For now, all is warm words and a promise to work together. But, down the years the three organisations have also shown they are capable of viciously tearing into one another at a moment's notice.
Robertson believes that the fact that the reform process is framed by a parliamentary select committee report means that it has more chance of a meaningful result than previous attempts. Which either shows a touching faith in the power of select committee reports, or underpins the fact he believes he has got support at the highest levels of the party to make the changes stick.
The Premier League, which welcomed the modest FA reforms contained in the Burns review in 2005 that were only ever partially implemented, can probably live with most of what has been rubber-stamped by the minister from the select committee report. The introduction of an all-embracing licensing system is something they would probably wear if it was simply a case of underlining the FA's backstop – but ultimately ceremonial – powers. But if the FA took on an active role in policing those licences it might be a different matter.
The one red line for the Premier League will be the make-up of the FA board. As proposed by the select committee – FA chairman, general secretary, two more FA executives, two nonexecutives and just two representatives each from the professional and national game – it is impossible to see them supporting it. But given Roberton's admission that he is open to suggestion, it may well be that a middle way is found – three from the professional game, three from the national game, four FA executives and two nonexecutives could be one possible model that would represent progress.
For fans' groups, who helped shape the discourse that gave rise to a series of promises by all three political parties prior to the election and indirectly led to the select committee process, there was good and bad news. Any thought of mandating clubs to sell or give a portion of their equity to fans appears to have hit the buffers. But the government has vowed to do it all it can to help supporters' trusts, underlined its backing for Supporters Direct in the wake of the existential threat it faced in the summer and put forward some really quite sensible suggestions for greater fan engagement.
They would see fans' groups guaranteed access to club accounts and attendance at their AGMs and, under the proposed licensing system, measures examined to find a way of ensuring supporter representation around every boardroom table. If the whole package could be introduced, it would be a significant step forward.
In some ways, the timing makes it more difficult to argue for urgent change. There is no Portsmouth-style financial meltdown on the back pages, nor any green and gold revolution rocking Old Trafford.
But in other ways it makes it easier. The tripartite talks between the FA, the Football League and the Premier League are able to continue on relatively friendly terms and there is a cautious acceptance that something must be done. Confidence, always in short supply in the gloomy corridors of Wembley, is slowly starting to seep back as a result of the calm assurance of Bernstein. His style is steady rather than spectacular, but that is perhaps what the organisation needs.
Its historical accounts, detailing the ongoing millstone of Wembley and the money thrown away on courting corrupt Fifa executives, still do not make happy reading. But Bernstein is at least getting a fair hearing.
Having observed at close quarters the fate of his predecessors, he is quietly working towards consensus. He would never admit it, but he will surely be privately pleased that the government is chivvying along the process of finally taking the FA's governance arrangements into the 21st century. Robertson's aim is twofold – to reform the FA so it is up to the job and then restore it to a pre-eminent role as the game's ultimate governing body. He is convinced he is making progress.
"Part of the reason for being as tough as we have is to encourage them to see this as an opportunity to do something rather than wait for us to do it to them. Since we started on this process, we have moved the debate on considerably in the past 18 months. We have got another independent chairman, they have removed the conflict that sat at the heart of the board by putting the chairman of the FA rather than the chairman of the Premier League in charge of Club England and we have got two independents," he insists.
"The FA have started to move in our direction. We have achieved more in the last 18 months than in the 10 years or arguably 20 before that. There is an understanding that this has now gone on for too long and now is the time to bring the debate to a conclusion. They know what we've asked them to do and in the report we've laid out the three key areas that need attention: the FA board; relationship between board and council; and licensing system. They understand exactly what they've got to do."
The fear must be that some within the game will also know exactly what they have to do to see off the passing interests of another unwanted government intervention and that, bar some cosmetic change, things will carry on much as before. Until the next crisis. | <urn:uuid:bd06f979-9cc8-45e1-9681-6652e54bf617> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2011/oct/13/english-football-hugh-robertson | 2016-10-23T02:06:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719136.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00067-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.971081 | 1,466 | [

I am looking to get a just a few inches of lift out of my 78 blazer. It is all stock with wrangler ATS 31x10.5x15. I am looking to get a little more clearance for the front tires since the runner boards I have contact the tires in tight corners over bumps and I just want a different look for the rig. All I am looking to do is get 2-3 inches. Any suggestions on web site tech pages, aftermarket suppliers or a specific kit? I have never looked into lift kits so I'm trusting you guys to get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance. | <urn:uuid:0d3e0e7e-616e-4e44-bba1-aa5924a269f9> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://ck5.com/forums/threads/new-to-suspension-lifts-and-need-some-advice.80542/ | 2016-10-24T05:36:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719468.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00129-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.951334 | 129 | [

There are very few serious driving games of note on Wii - the machine is undoubtedly missing its Forza Motorsport, Gran Turismo or Race Driver: Grid - and EA's latest in the Need for Speed franchise does little to address this problem. Whilst 360 and PS3 owners can play the generally well-received NFS: Shift, Nintendo gamers are being given a very different racer in the form of Nitro, a less serious take on the genre that combines familiar elements from the series into a new, more accessible title for the Nintendo market.
We played with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk combo, although Wii Wheel support is also in. You steer with the control stick and activate your boost by shaking the Remote - although it seems a little old-fashioned to play a racing game with the control stick, it does generally give you much tighter control over your racer, although the gimmick of shaking to boost is even more old-fashioned. Classic Controller and Gamecube pad support is also confirmed, giving you the widest possible choice of control methods barring a car with a built-in Wii.
Generally the races are standard fare against a pack of up to seven other racers, although to spice things up you can collect Police badges that act as weapons, allowing you to unleash some justice on your rivals with a quick push of the Z button. Of course, other racers will be looking to do this to you, so it becomes a matter of arrest or be arrested as the Police cars zoom around the track, getting in your way and generally trying to stop your crime-causing behaviour. Your car can only take a limited amount of damage before you have to retire from the race, but you can pick up repair power-ups handily dotted about the track, although CPU drivers can pick these up too so you'll often find yourself jostling for the pick-ups when in the middle of the pack
The track design is nothing out of the ordinary, although you can boost over the occasional ramps to speed past your opponents, gaining points that convert into extra nitro for your boost. You can also gain points for drifting and drafting, so skillful driving allows you to build up nitro ready for a race-winning burst of speed. The game however does look very polished, with some nice lighting effects and a very smooth frame rate, and certainly keeps up with other racers on the system.
We only had a short time to get a hands-on with Need for Speed Nitro and although it's not an unmitigated disaster it does come across as a little uninspired. Hopefully some further playtime will show the game in a more favourable light, but on this evidence it looks like the wait for Wii's champion racer continues. | <urn:uuid:41f9d430-c271-4d6b-ad0f-970be73c724c> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2009/10/first_impressions_need_for_speed_nitro | 2016-10-24T05:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719468.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00129-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966199 | 553 | [

January 19, 1954
Armand Della Porta, Asst. Dist. Atty., Samuel Dash, Asst. Dist. Atty., Michael von Moschzisker, First Asst. Dist. Atty., Richardson Dilworth, Dist. Atty., Philadelphia, for appellant.
Samuel Kagle, Philadelphia, for appellee.
Before Rhodes, P. J., and Hirt, Reno, Ross, Gunther, Wright and Woodside, Jj.
[ 174 Pa. Super. Page 435]
Relator, then seventeen years of age, surrendered to the police on January 8, 1947. He was promptly given a preliminary hearing, on the charges against him, by a judge of the Municipal Court and was returned to custody pending action of the Grand Jury. On January 27, 1947 true bills were returned on 22 indictments. Eight of them charged armed robbery, two charged attempted robbery and one bill charged relator with rape. The remaining eleven indictments were companion bills charging relator with carrying a concealed weapon. On January 29, 1947 relator, without previous notice, was taken from prison and was arraigned on the charges. Without the benefit of counsel he pleaded guilty to all bills of indictment, excepting one robbery charge and the charge of rape. Later in the same day the two cases were called for trial. As to what then occurred the record discloses the following:
'The Court: Have you a lawyer?
'The defendant: I don't know. My mother was supposed to have one.
'The court: Call for her.
'Court Crier: No answer, your Honor.
'The Court: I think Mr. Pollock ought to represent him. These witnesses have been sitting here all day long.'
Thereupon Herman pollock, Esq., Public Defender, represented relator on his trial for rape and one robbery charge. He was found guilty of both charges by a judge of the court, jury trials having been waived. Relator then was immediately called for sentence and as to what then occurred the record shows this colloquy
'By the Court: Q. You
[ 174 Pa. Super. Page 436]
were incorrigible all your life. How many times have you been in Juvenile Court? A. Twice.
'Q. How many other times? A. That is all. * * *
'Q. How old are you? A. 17.
'Q. How many holdups did you plead guilty to? A. Eight. That is just what I did. That is what I told them.
'The Court: You know what that carries, don't you -- 20 years apiece. I will be lenient with you -- 25 to 50 years in the Penitentiary.'
The record shows that relator was sentenced on each of three bills, on which he pleaded guilty to robbery, to two terms of imprisonment in the Eastern State Penitentiary of from 10 to 20 years and a third term of from 5 to 10 years all to be served consecutively.
In this habeas corpus proceeding the lower court, after hearing, vacated the sentences imposed, and set aside all of relator's pleas of guilty to other indictments. In addition the order also set aside the verdicts on the charges tried by the lower court. We are all agreed that the order, in the form adopted in Commonwealth ex rel. Townsend v. Burke, 361 Pa. 35, 63 A.2d 77, Must be affirmed.
Relator was 16 years old when he committed the offenses to which he pleaded guilty. He never before had committed an indictable offense. The crimes were all committed within a period of less than two months. The fruits of the robberies ranged from a few cents to $90. When relator's mother heard that the police were looking for her son she went with him when he gave himself up. She visited him in prison twice during the 21 days prior to his appearance in court and she intended to appear as a witness and to secure a lawyer for him. She had no notice or prior knowledge of relator's arraignment in Court on January 29, 1947 and she was not there. The direction to the court crier therefore to call out her name on that occasion was a futile thing.
[ 174 Pa. Super. Page 437]
A person accused of a non-capital offense may waive his right to the assistance of counsel before pleading guilty if the waiver is understandingly and voluntarily made. Commonwealth ex rel. Bruce v. Burke, 170 Pa. Super. 642, 90 A.2d 258. 'To invalidate a plea of guilty in non-capital cases by reason of denial of due process arising from failure to provide a prisoner with counsel by the courts of this Commonwealth, the prisoner must establish that for want of benefit of counsel an ingredient of unfairness actively operated in the process that resulted in his confinement.' Commonwealth ex rel. Popovich v. Claudy, 170 Pa. Super. 482, 486, 87 A.2d 489, 491. When relator was arraigned without prior notice, a continuance well might have been ordered, to give him the opportunity to secure counsel. The Public Defender did not represent him when he pleaded guilty to the charges nor when he was sentenced on his pleas of guilt. The statement of the Judge to relator at the time of sentence: 'You were incorrigible all your life' was unwarranted by the facts and justifies the conclusion that he was sentenced on the basis of assumed past misconduct that was materially untrue. Cf. Commonwealth ex rel. Townsend v. Burke, supra. Relator had been in the juvenile court as a truant from school, and again at the instigation of his mother, as a disciplinary measure, when he had destroyed his brother's school books but he had not been an 'incorrigible all his life.'
There was no waiver of counsel in this case but rather the lack of opportunity to secure counsel as intended. In the light of all of the circumstances the conclusion is inevitable that there was a denial of fundamental fairness in these cases.

It’s Friday (thank you, Rebecca Black), so naturally, this seemed like a perfect time for Team Crushable to break out the alcoholic whipped cream we currently have sitting around the office, courtesy of the good folk who make Whipped Lightning. Yes, you heard me: booze-laced whipped cream. Which actually does taste rather boozey, we were surprised to find. So, in honor of this strange new way to consume alcohol, we bring you Whipped Lightning: The Drinking Game! More

Happy 34th birthday to television and the Internet’s James Van Der Beek! We won’t lie to you, we’re probably the biggest Dawson’s Creek fans on the planet. In college, we actually made plans with a friend to write and direct an alternate version of the series finale — no joke! So it’s with great pleasure that we present this gallery of 34 amazing photos of our favorite actor-turned-meme. More
Okay, so we might not be the biggest fans of sports movies in the world. They’re full of dumb cliches, or people trying to break through those dumb cliches, even those cliches are ultimately true because that’s what good sports coaches do– serve up cliches in meaningful ways? Who knows, we’ve never played a sport in our lives.
However, there is a reason we watch movies like The Mighty Ducks and The Natural: the really, really hot guys. Can’t spell sports without “short-shorts,” you know! (Yes you can.) Here’s our tribute to the beautiful, muscly men of sports movies.

I have just watched an episode of Dexter which I know dates back to round about 2008. I was not really interested in watching it, as it is as you all know about someone who takes people’s lives, and kills for the sake of killing. It uses as the storyline, for many people, a very acceptable excuse for killing, by only killing the bad people who deserve to die, which has always made a good vigilante movie. It seems that this plot always does well at the box office.
Well as much as I hate to admit it I thought the episode was pretty good and even at times thought that I should watch more of Dexter. However the one thing that I just could not handle, was the way Dexter’s sister Debs [Jennifer Carpenter] went out of her way, to insult Christians by making fun of God, Jesus and the Mother Mary, and that all in only one episode of Dexter. I cannot understand why the film makers would want to be so insulting to Christianity, do they hate Christians that much? They are blatantly being disrespectful and downright malicious in their efforts to make fun at Christians.
What is even more disappointing, while I did an extensive search for more than an hour on Google, to find out more about Debra’s antichristian outbursts, they talked about everything else but nowhere could I find anyone complaining about the way she shows disrespect for the Christian belief. In fact it looks like most people have no problem, and I would hate to say or even admit this, it seems that even Christians are ignoring this, and that is why these insults will continue, till there is not one Christian left on this planet to attack.
Now some people will say she is just the actress, she is told what to do, and you are right. However if someone asked me to insult my God for the sake of a silver dollar, and I did so, it would mean that I have sold my soul, nothing more and nothing less. So this popular actress, who the viewers probably think is funny and likable, is in fact helping to destroy Christianity.
My question is when Jennifer Carpenter insult’s God as often and without remorse in the Dexter series, how does she justify it to her God. Unless she does in fact as Dexter,admits in the series, not to believe in God. Now I am not one of those people who want’s to shove my beliefs down someone elses throat, as people can believe in who or what they wish to, as it is their own preference. What is a problem for me is they don’t leave Christians alone they insult them all the time and to top it all, they go out of their merry ways to do this. The only reason I can come up with for this continuous attack on Christians is that they Hate God, and see Him as a threat, and cannot handle the fact that “Real Christians” are good people and they want to destroy all that is good in this world, well what is left of it.
We are all blind at times, even though our eyes are wide open we don’t see how the world as we know it is being handed over to the ……………..on a Silver Plate
Some Quotes from Debra “Jennifer Carpenter” on Dexter,
“SWEET MARY MOTHER OF FU*K”
“HOLY JESUS ON A STICK”
There are many other’s as I could not remember them all,
but Hollywood made sure that the usual Insults were included like for example,
“GOD DAMMIT”, ‘OH MY GOD” and “JESUS CHRIST”
If you think she is cute, please consider the things she says, they are not so cute at all.
But then it’s your life, to do what you want to with.
This article has not been published to tell you what to do.
It is published because my God is under attack here, and I feel very insulted by all of this,
and want those who do, to know this, and I include Jennifer Carpenter.
Her breakthrough film role was Emily Rose in The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
Dexter is a good series and it does not even need all these insults and references to God to make it better,
the only reason that it is included in my opinion is because they want to destroy Christianity | <urn:uuid:b649171d-669e-41f5-845a-a14df0e8f12e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://whisnews21.com/2012/11/04/jennifer-carpenter-insults-god-and-thinks-its-funny/ | 2016-10-25T06:35:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719960.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00191-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.984303 | 925 | [

Bhutan’s royal couple on Saturday announced the birth of their first child, a baby prince, delighting the remote Himalayan kingdom where the monarchy is revered.
The newest royal, the son of King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema, was safely delivered at Lingkana Palace in the Bhutanese capital Thimphu on February 5, the royal media office said.
“Their majesties and members of the royal family are filled with profound joy on the birth of His Royal Highness,” it said in a statement.
“With the blessings of the guardian deities of Bhutan and protectors of the dharma (divine truth), and the prayers of the Bhutanese people, Her Majesty and His Royal Highness The Gyalsey (prince) are both in perfect health.”
The prince’s birth was marked by sacred Bhutanese traditions with the Je Khenpo, the chief abbot and spiritual leader of the majority Buddhist nation, presiding over religious ceremonies, the office said.
The baby’s name has yet to be announced.
Known as the “last Shangri-La” the South Asian kingdom, home to just 750,000 people, famously shuns conventional measures of economic wellbeing, instead compiling a Gross National Happiness index.
Britain’s own royals, Prince William and his wife Kate, are to visit Bhutan in the spring as part of an official trip that also includes India, British officials announced last month.
The hugely popular fifth Druk Gyalpo, or Dragon King, studied in Britain and the United States and was officially crowned king in 2008 after his father abdicated two years earlier.
He married Queen Pema in 2011 in an elaborate fairytale wedding ceremony that was the biggest media event in Bhutanese history.
Bhutan had no roads or currency until the 1960s, and only began admitting foreign tourists in 1974 -- but has since developed rapidly. | <urn:uuid:f4beafb4-55da-4e7c-8ccc-5074ca85f0be> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.hindustantimes.com/world/it-s-a-boy-bhutan-s-royal-couple-announce-birth-of-baby-prince/story-ZYI0CtI5vf3VR6c2bkBviL.html | 2016-10-26T08:59:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720760.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00253-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954015 | 421 | [

If you tuned into Spanish-language radio in Miami Thursday, you were bound to hear from federal lawmakers -- and wannabe lawmakers -- making their cases on the debt-ceiling battle in Washington D.C.
U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Miami Republican, speaking on WQBA-AM (1140), put the blame of the impasse squarely on a Senate controlled by Democrats and on President Barack Obama.
The House's proposal is imperfect, Diaz-Balart acknowledged. "But up to now, the only thing we have from the Senate or the President are speeches," he said.
"The one responsible if this doesn't get approved is one person, the president," Diaz-Balart said. "He's in another world. It's as if he were in his living room drinking martinis" and not paying attention, he added.
"We have said yes to everything," Menendez said. "This is the first time in my public life in which I have said yes to everything in a negotiation and they still have not been able to accept...I have never seen a situation like the one I've seen in the last month, to tell you the truth."
Earlier in the day, Florida Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson gave a similar line speaking on the same station's Pedaleando con Bernie (Pedaling with Bernie) show.
"They say it's my way or no way," said Nelson, who has a complicated history voting for raising the debt ceiling. He bashed the GOP for what he characterized as hurting Medicare and Social Security recipients. Republicans should consider selling drugs at discounted prices to Medicare, he suggested.
He was followed shortly thereafter by former Sen. George LeMieux, a Republican who is running to challenge Nelson.
"It's embarrassing, it's a mess," LeMieux said of the debt ceiling debacle. But he said the debate was necessary to have a discussion about how much the federal government is spending.
"It is necessary," he argued, "because the underlying problem is not the debt ceiling but the debt." | <urn:uuid:28cef6dc-2e8b-47f3-bd0d-e80ff89f448e> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2011/07/on-debt-ceiling-lawmakers-turn-to-spanish-language-radio.html | 2016-10-27T11:24:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721268.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00315-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.979723 | 431 | [

MOSCOW (AFP) – Moscow announced on Tuesday (Oct 18) that Russian and Syrian air forces have stopped bombing Aleppo ahead of a brief truce, a move the Kremlin said showed “goodwill” as it faces mounting criticism for backing a brutal regime offensive.
Russia had said Monday there would be an eight-hour “humanitarian pause” in the battered city on Thursday, a move welcomed by the United Nations and the European Union which nevertheless said the ceasefire needed to be longer to allow the delivery of aid.
The UN said Tuesday it was waiting for safety assurances from all sides before going in with “critical humanitarian assistance” for Aleppo’s desperate population.
The West has voiced increasing alarm at the situation in Aleppo, saying the ferocious Russian-backed onslaught on the rebel-held east could amount to a war crime.
“Strikes in the Aleppo region by the Russian and Syrian air forces are stopping today starting at 10am,” Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said in a televised briefing, adding that the measure was “necessary” to pave the way for the truce.
“This guarantees the security of civilians’ exit through six corridors and prepares the evacuation of the sick and injured from eastern Aleppo,” he said, adding that it would also guarantee safe passage for armed rebels to leave eastern Aleppo.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov hailed the move as a “manifestation of goodwill” and denied it was meant to assuage Western critics who have accused Moscow of perpetrating potential war crimes in Syria’s second city.
“This is an obvious continuation of Russian efforts, on the one hand, to fight terrorists in Syria, and on the other, to unblock the situation in Aleppo,” Peskov told reporters.
“It is exclusively a manifestation of goodwill by the Russian military.”
Raids in the eastern neighbourhoods of Aleppo have stopped since the Russian announcement, but air strikes are still being conducted in the broader Aleppo region, the Britain-based monitoring group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday.
Over 250,000 people are under government siege in the city that was once Syria’s thriving commercial hub.
Tuesday’s halt in bombing came just hours after Russian warplanes pounded Aleppo’s rebel-held districts, killing a couple and their three children, the Observatory said.
On Monday, dozens of civilians including 12 members of the same family were killed in strikes against Aleppo, the monitor said.
The brutal government offensive against eastern Aleppo – which has destroyed hospitals and other civilian infrastructure – has plunged Syria into some of the worst violence since the conflict erupted in March 2011.
The European Union said on Monday that the Russian and Syrian air strikes could amount to war crimes.
“The deliberate targeting of hospitals, medical personnel, schools and essential infrastructure, as well as the use of barrel bombs, cluster bombs, and chemical weapons, constitute a catastrophic escalation of the conflict... and may amount to war crimes,” EU foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg said.
They also warned that the 28-nation bloc could impose additional sanctions against Damascus, but decided against targeting Russia despite US and British calls to punish Moscow as well.
Talks in Switzerland at the weekend involving foreign ministers from Washington, Moscow and Syria’s neighbours ended with no breakthrough on halting the violence.
The talks were the first international meeting on Syria since Washington froze bilateral ceasefire negotiations with Moscow over its unwavering support of the Syrian regime.
A short-lived truce brokered by Moscow and Washington last month could have led the two countries to coordinate strikes against militants, but the deal quickly unravelled.
Shoigu said Tuesday that the halt in bombing could “contribute to the success” of international military talks in Geneva on Wednesday on efforts to distance Syrian opposition fighters from militant group Fateh al-Sham Front, which changed its name from Al-Nusra Front after renouncing its ties to Al-Qaeda.
Russia has repeatedly demanded that the Syrian rebels break off from Fateh al-Sham Front, which the United Nations considers a terrorist group, as a condition to revive a ceasefire in Aleppo. | <urn:uuid:c0465ccb-4ae6-4060-ad79-9e536450b9bd> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/russia-syria-halt-air-strikes-on-aleppo-moscow | 2016-10-27T11:57:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721268.95/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00315-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.96233 | 862 | [

The White House said on Wednesday it will redirect $589 million in funds to prepare for and respond to the Zika virus before the mosquito that carries it begins to emerge in the continental United States.
But White House budget director Shaun Donovan said the move was only a temporary fix for Zika finding, adding that some measures would have to be delayed, curtailed or stopped unless the U.S. Congress approves an emergency funding request for more than $1.8 billion, made earlier this year.
The virus, linked to numerous cases of the birth defect microcephaly in Brazil, is spreading rapidly in Latin America and the Caribbean and heading north as the weather gets warmer.
Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell said that without the requested emergency funding, opposed by some key congressional Republicans, the United States risks its ability to respond to the Zika virus.
Burwell said mosquito control and surveillance may have to be delayed or stopped, vaccine development could be jeopardized and development of faster diagnostic tests could be impaired.
"We should not play with fire here," Donovan told reporters on a conference call.
The Republican-controlled Congress has said the White House should draw the money it needs to fight Zika from $2.7 billion in funds set aside for public health projects aimed at the Ebola virus.
Burwell said the White House still needs the full emergency funding and cannot risk short-changing efforts to help West African countries fight Ebola.
"We face two global health challenges, Ebola and Zika, and we don't have an option to set one aside in the name of the other," Burwell told reporters.

CHESHIRE, England, Oct. 21 (UPI) -- Five people in a car, all believed family members, burned to death in a fiery crash on Britain's M6 motorway, officials said Tuesday.
Three unidentified young children and two adults were in a car that was incinerated Monday night in Cheshire, England, after it collided with another vehicle in an accident believed to have been triggered by a truck driver, The Times of London reported.
In all, six people died on the M6 Monday, authorities said. An earlier accident in which a man was killed in rainy conditions created traffic tie-ups that were a contributing factor in the second crash.
The Times quoted Cheshire police as saying a 46-year-old Portuguese truck driver who works for a Spanish company was arrested on suspicion of causing the second accident, which investigators said looked like a "war zone."
"There was the utter devastation of this vehicle and five people killed," Inspector Brian Rogers told the newspaper. "I feel so sorry for the officers from the emergency services who had to deal with it. Clearly there is a welfare need for them because they will be traumatized and shocked, and also for the family." | <urn:uuid:2719ad6a-9da8-426a-8e29-eab06203f217> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/10/21/Five-family-members-die-in-car-crash/UPI-99151224599207/ | 2016-10-28T14:20:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988722653.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183842-00377-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.987546 | 245 | [

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
- If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
- If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Materials Handling Safety
Course Length: 30 - 45 minutes
covering the essentials of materials handling safety.
Many employees feel that moving and handling materials that
they work with every day is an ordinary task, not something that they really
need to be concerned about. Yet there are thousands of materials handling
accidents every year … from small splinters, cuts or scrapes, to crushed
fingers, hands and feet … even deaths.
Safety provides the information employees need to work safely when handling
various types of materials.
This training covers the following topics:
of potential hazards
lifting and moving techniques
trucks, carts and pallet trucks
Using a powerful combination of audio, full-motion video,
text, and colorful graphics, Materials
Handling Safety provides cost-effective, easy-to-use training. It's divided
into topic-based lessons so information is easily understood ... and retained. | <urn:uuid:36943008-6bd1-41d7-9e76-5c1587c2a72a> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.jjkellertraining.com/views/InteractiveTraining/CourseDescription.aspx?CID=41 | 2016-10-23T03:04:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719139.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00500-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.847108 | 191 | [

Here I am at 5 am waiting 2 hours after checking in to take a 1 hour flight, god but I hate airports. You wait for obscene length's of time bored out of your mind for what seems to be no good reason.
Speaking of being bored out of my mind, I found that shaving your head again (I had shaved it a couple of days ago so it kind of needed it kind of didn't) in an airport bathroom just because you are bored is not a good idea. Shaving your head should be done with a well moistened scalp, shaving cream and a good quality razor. It should definatly not be done with bathroom despencer soap and a cheep ass disposable razor.
Anyway I just popped on to post this as a way to kill time and and to try and keep myself sane.
Oh, and by the way, why is it that security people seem to want to undress me every time I go through security in an airport?
Anyway I might pop on again with another update if I get bored again.
So until next time this is Stuntyone the Incompetent Warrior signing off. | <urn:uuid:c5efb3d0-3252-4bfc-94ea-0c63703ee137> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://incompetentwarrior.blogspot.com/2009/07/travel-update.html | 2016-10-24T06:52:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719542.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00562-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967243 | 234 | [

Clock Is Ticking
How many people have reminded me that my clock is ticking…… My biological clock that is…… More precise, “you’re not young anymore Ashley, when are you going to have a baby?”
However, I think people got bored of asking me that question already. :) I get lesser of that nowadays. Friends have stopped asking actually. Perhaps they know what I have gone through and they know by asking the question again would have brought up some unhappy memories. My family has too stopped asking me that. They know very well whatever my decision is, I have my reason and they understand. Only a few will still ask me the question when they see me, but they don’t bother me because they’re not important to me.
When I see a baby, I will go “awww…… Look at her/him, so cute!” When I remember the time taking care of my niece, I will go “OMG!!! Can’t she just sit still?! Can’t I have 5 minutes of me time?! Milk again?! Didn’t she just eat?! Potty!!!” I faint. Of course, there are times that she will be real sweet and cute and behave herself.
I must say that I got very selfish now. I’ve been enjoying the freedom far too long and I now don’t seem to know how to share my time with others. I freak out the moment I realise there won’t be any TV time at night when I get home from work. My head spins a little when I think of the time I’ll be spending in doing all the washing and changing diapers. Also, I don’t get to watch movies whenever I feel like, I won’t have time for Andrew and he won’t have more time for me, we won’t be holding hands when we go out anymore because we will be pushing the stroller and carrying the bag, we can’t travel together anymore without having to worry and care for another person…… I am selfish, I want Andrew all to myself. I can’t even imagine sharing him with my own child. @__@ Having a child is a lifetime commitment, there won’t be an end to it……
The question of to have a child or not, has again come to the surface. I love babies but I just don’t think I can take care of one. Yes, you may tell me the mother instinct will kick in when you have a child. Yes, you will tell me the baby’s smile will worth all the hardships that you’ll have to go through. I know, I know all of that very well. However, I have doubt in myself. And yes, you will tell me everyone has doubt in themselves until they have their own child.
What is the purpose of having a child?
Is it wrong to not have a child?
I am not sure of what to do now. To have, or not to have?
Andrew said, let the nature take its course.
I can’t. I’m not one who doesn’t plan and leave everything to nature’s hands.
Your clock is ticking, Ashley.

Guys, Would knowing that a lot of guys are interested in the girl you like stop you from going after her?
Would knowing that a number of other guys were pursuing/interested in the girl you like, make you give up on going after her?
Most Helpful Guy
It has before. If a girl gets a lot of attention, I tend to assume she's not going to appreciate my attention as much... since she can literally get it anywhere.
Like if you had a lifetime supply of chocolate, eventually you'll get tired of it, or it will just become something you do... eat chocolate. It's not as special anymore.
What Guys Said 3
What you mean after her? Lol like getting her number and stuff? Nope because I'd be probably be better than other guys
Yea it would. I'm kind of shy only when it comes to that type of stuff. If she was getting fequent attention she would need to help me figure out that she's interested.

Last week I wrote about the British documentary “Us Now” and what I thought about its content. Today I want to talk about the lessons that can be learned from the films website: www.usnowfilm.com.
In case you are wondering what this has to do with non-profits: I know many NGOs who produce feature-length advocacy films to state their case against e.g. climate change, human trafficking, dragnet-fishing etc. And I am certain that many of them could be greatly enhanced by an approach like “Us Now”.
1. Make a film project, not a movie
The biggest difference is in what you see as the outcome. Many people consider their work to be done once the final cut has been made and the film has been screened, burned on DVD, uploaded … whatever. Most of the time, the audience is simply seen as a mass of people towards whom you then project a certain message – a classic one-to-many approach.
But if you see your product as a film-project, then this implies that the work is not done after your final cut; it implies that this is something that can be built on.
2. Think “resource” not “movie”
If you are looking at the film as a project and not as a 60 minute audio-visual presentation, then the next logical step is that everything that you have collected to produce the film is a resource. In the case of “Us Now” they made the original, uncut interviews available on the site and through YouTube. The BBC is currently working on a similar project called “Digital Revolution” where the rushes are already being made available while the film is still in production.
Both the BBC and “Us Now” offer interview transcripts which helps them with search engines (remember, search engines cannot read videos but love text).
Ideally you would assign meta data to both the text files and the videos so that users can find related interviews from different projects. If you have the resources to go one extra mile, you could even create an interactive transcript for each interview, like they do for the “TED talks“.
The point is, that you are suddenly offering people a resource that they can use in their own work. Think about how many videos were produced about climate change. Now imagine, you could use what other NGOs have already produced on the same topic. If enough non-profits would act like that, then everybody would win. But it obviously requires a change in attitude. Not only do we have to become comfortable with having others use material that we have paid for, we also have to become comfortable with using other peoples materials. I don’t know how comfortable the WWF would be to reuse bits of an interview performed by Greenpeace.
Interestingly, some of the big players are already working together on non-branded joint advocacy videos for big events like the climate change conference COP15.
3. Open a dialogue
This should be a no-brainer to everyone working with social media. You should give people a chance to discuss your topic with you. Obviously, by uploading the video to YouTube as a whole, as well as in parts, you can invite people to post video responses. However, you should find a way to display these on your site as well and not only have them sit on YouTube. Keep in mind though that such a dialogue requires resources. “Us Now” for example obviously doesn’t have those resources which is why this part of their site falls short of expectation. It’ll be interesting to see what the BBC has in store once they have completed their project.
4. Go Creative Commons
In order to achieve maximum distribution, give your film a creative commons license! “Us Now” can be downloaded in any format you can think of – including as a torrent! I don’t know whether that was the intention from the beginning, or whether it just happened, but it shows that once you set you content free, there is no limit to how and where your message might be distributed to.
From advocacy to authority
If you create your next advocacy film according to what is outlined above, you will see that you are suddenly no longer in the business of producing advocacy films, but you are in the business of establishing your organization as an online authority for the topics that your non-profit or NGO is fighting for. And isn’t that one of the reasons you were asked to produce that original advocacy video to begin with?

Elected officials and candidates accept the heightened level of public scrutiny that comes along with public service. While they recognize that the loss of privacy comes with the territory, I believe children should be left completely out of the political spotlight.
That’s why earlier this year our office helped draft (HB2429) a bill that permits the use of the term “minor child” rather than listing their actual name on their financial disclosure statement. In the past, the policy has been to simply redact their names, but this session we were able to codify the procedure into law.
Regardless of the actual day the law goes into effect, we have decided it was too important to wait and have redacted the names of children on the statements before placing them online for public inspection.
While candidates may disagree about everything from ideas to ideologies, we all agree their children have a right to privacy. | <urn:uuid:d89eabe6-da86-4a97-9b84-e0801b3c94d7> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.azsos.gov/about-office/media-center/azsosblog/917 | 2016-10-27T14:45:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00181-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.965808 | 182 | [

Mac trojan masquerades as a PDF
Malware that hides in PDF files and exploits holes in PDF viewers is not uncommon. Now, virus researchers at F-Secure have netted a file that looks like a PDF but uses an entirely different infection mechanism. The file is actually a Mac OS X program whose resources include a PDF file. When run, the program opens that PDF file in the Mac's PDF viewer while downloading the actual backdoor software in the background. Computer users who double-click on the purported PDF file are, therefore, presented with the expected result and are unlikely to become suspicious.
The researchers at F-Secure think that the current sample is a prototype; while the trojan does install backdoor software on the Mac, the backdoor's command and control server is not apparently operational at present. Furthermore, the malware doesn't do everything it could to disguise itself yet: it currently includes neither a PDF file icon nor a suitable name and extension, although, according to F-Secure, neither of these would be a problem to create and could have been lost when the sample was found via VirusTotal. | <urn:uuid:4c9dff88-b3a9-4e5f-8142-6f9d939da884> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Mac-trojan-masquerades-as-a-PDF-1349526.html | 2016-10-27T15:04:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00181-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.944598 | 223 | [

With the season not really going according to plan and on the ropes, the Chicago Bulls pulled a magic trick and made a major move early this morning. News broke that the Bulls traded nine-year veteran and two time All-Star Luol Deng to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Andrew Bynum and draft picks. So, the questions people are asking, why did the Bulls do this deal and where are they going from here?
The Bulls really did not want to get rid of Deng, who was such a valuable asset on and off the court, especially for a player like Bynum, who was waived hours later, but this was a very smart move. The Bulls did this for cap space, for the long-term future, and because they are focusing on the next couple of drafts and next season. Waiving Bynum and getting rid of Deng will save the team more than $20 million and they will be more prepared to go after major free agents like a Carmelo Anthony or LeBron James.
Furthermore, on top of the money being saved, the Bulls got a future first round pick from the Cavs via the Sacramento Kings. They also get second round picks in 2015 and 2016 from the Cavs via the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Bulls have tried to keep Deng and insisted all season that he was part of the future. They were adamant on re-signing him in the offseason, but when reports came out that he rejected an extension last week of $30 million for three years, the writing was on the wall. Many fans and around the league felt that Deng would have left in free agency. The Bulls had to make this move to get something for Deng instead of letting him walk for nothing.
In the end, the Bulls will really miss Deng and what he brought to them. He was a leader, a guy that brought it every night, and coach Tom Thibodeau‘s ultimate weapon. This trade will hurt the Bulls short-term, but the future is just getting started. | <urn:uuid:933e0b88-a5f2-47df-8ca6-c76344a9dad5> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.rantsports.com/nba/2014/01/07/chicago-bulls-looking-into-long-term-future-plans-with-trade-of-luol-deng-for-andrew-bynum/ | 2016-10-27T16:02:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721347.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00181-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.981699 | 406 | [

I have been having a good time playing around in the kitchen with Korean flavors and recipes.
First, the kimchi–which is fermenting along very nicely, thank you, and tastes better and better every day. (I have to remember to take some to the farmer’s market tomorrow for the two farmers who grew the cabbage and the mustard greens that went into it.)
For years I had been making a bulgogi-like grilled sliced steak, marinated in lots of garlic, sesame oil, soy sauce and sugar and served wrapped in lettuce leaves, and last summer, after reading one of Sarah Gim’s posts on Slashfood, I made bulgogi burgers to much acclaim from friends and family, but I had never really ventured into the realm of the real thing.
It turns out that my faux bulgogi wasn’t too far off from the real thing. The recipe from Eating Korean was quite minimal; including a marinade containing only soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, Korean malt syrup, garlic, salt, and black pepper, with scallions as an optional garnish.
On the other hand, the recipe in Growing Up in a Korean Kitchen was much more complex, with inclusions of rice wine, grated Asian pear, scallions, walnuts, corn syrup and sesame seeds in the marinade. The author notes that her family’s method of making bulgogi is similar to the more complex recipe from the royal kitchens, so that accounts for the added ingredients and the resulting kaleidescope of flavors.
I combined the two recipes to make my own version.
First of all, I decided to substitute nuoc mau (Vietnamese caramel sauce) for the malt or corn syrup, since I had absolutely neither of those, and only about a tablespoon of nuoc mau left to use up before making another batch. The Asian pear was an intriguing ingredient; apparently, it is used not only for its flavor and slight texture, but also for its tenderizing properties. Just by happenstance, the owner of the local Asian market had given Zak an Asian pear to try the last time he had been shopping, so there it was, sitting in my fridge, waiting to be used. Of course, I had to snack on its crisp, juicy flesh while I was shredding it to go in the marinade; needless to say, I have some more Asian pears sitting in the crisper drawer right now, for snacks or cooking. They are amazing: they have a light, honey-floral scent and a texture similar to fresh water-chestnut. And they have an icy, crystalline flavor to them that is so refreshing–it seemed almost a shame to put it on meat, but I did anyway, and am happy that I made that choice.
I had no walnuts in the house, so I went ahead and used the sesame seeds and didn’t worry about the nuts.
I also made double the amount of marinade so I could reduce some of it down with beef stock to make a glaze for the finished beef. I am sure that is not traditional, but I don’t really care–it tasted very, very good–especially with the Asian pear.
Growing Up in a Korean Kitchen also suggest three traditional salads as side dishes: radish salad, cucumber salad and leaf lettuce salad. Well, I was fresh out of radishes; they had all been used up in the kimchi making extravaganza, and I had no cucumbers. Leaf lettuce, however, had been in abundant supply at the farmer’s market, so I had bought a great pile of it. I looked at the recipe, and it seemed stunningly simple, yet all of the ingredients were tasty, so I thought–“Why not?”
How did it all turn out?
Well, we ate all of it. I am sorry the photographs turned out so lousy; the camera was acting up and then the battery died after only a few shots. I had no backup batteries in the charger, so I went with what I had, which unfortunately are not appetizing pictures. Yet, let me say, the flavors of the beef were fantastic after a brief grilling, but were even better after the reduced glaze was applied. The salad was surprisingly great; it is hard to believe that a salad that consists of so few ingredients can taste so fresh and delightful. It was a great foil for the beef.
The kimchi, as noted above, was coming along nicely, with a strong garlic top note (probably from the combination of garlic and ramps) and a tangy fizz from the fermentation, with a whiff of incendiary power from the ginger, mustard greens and chili. The rice, which was not short grained as it should have been, but long-grain jasmine, because that is what we had, was great with the glaze drizzled over it, and the bean sprouts I simply tossed with some sesame oil were crunchy and nutty.
Since the author of Eating Korean tells me that bulgogi is an integral part of bibimbap–a mixed dish of various ingredients served over rice, I think that I shall have to try that as my next Korean culinary experiment. Although I don’t think it is absolutely true that bibimbap requires bulgogi-at least the writer at Zen Kimchi doesn’t seem to think so-I still think that a beefy version of it would be quite tasty. I mean, as it was, I mixed everything on my plate into a fine and tasty mess before and during eating it as it was, so bibimbap seems to be the next logical step.
Until then, though, here is my way of making bulgogi. If you want to make a glaze to pour over the beef and rice after it is cooked, double the marinade recipe, add about 1/4 cup of beef or chicken broth or stock, and simmer over medium heat until it reduces into a thick, shiny glaze.
2 pounds top round or sirloin, sliced across the grain into slices about 1/8″ thick
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup Korean rice wine, sake or dry vermouth
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 teaspoons raw or brown sugar
1 tablespoon Korean malt syrup, corn syrup or nuoc mau
1 Asian pear, peeled and finely grated
2 scallions, white and light green parts, finely minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper (I left this out, alas, because of my allergy)
Korean red chile flakes to taste (for serving and as garnish)
dark green tops to 2 scallions, finely sliced (for garnish)
Mix together all ingredients from soy sauce to black pepper, and rub briskly into the beef slices. Allow beef to marinate for two hours or overnight.
Heat charcoal grill until it is quite hot, and grill meat for two minutes per side, or until done as desired, basting with any marinade left in the bowl twice while cooking. (If you put a weight to press down the beef, it will not curl. Or, thread a soaked bamboo skewer through each piece of beef before grilling to keep them laying flat.)
Remove beef from grill, and cut into bite sized pieces. Sprinkle with garnishes and serve with leaf lettuce salad, steamed rice and kimchi.
If you want to make a glaze, double the ingredients for the marinade. Use half as a marinade, and to the other half, add 1/4 cup chicken or beef stock or broth, and simmer on medium heat until it reduces to a glaze. Drizzle over the bulgogi and steamed rice is done.
Leaf Lettuce Salad
1 pound leaf lettuce, washed, dried thoroughly (wrap it in kitchen towels to get it completely dry) and cut into thin ribbons
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 green onion, white and pale green parts, finely minced
1 clove fresh garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon sake or dry vermouth
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon Korean hot chile flakes (or to taste)
After the lettuce is sliced up, chill it thoroughly in the fridge for at least one hour.
In a small jar, mix the other ingredients, put the lid on it tightly and shake well to combine.
Just before dinner, toss thoroughly with the lettuce, and serve immediately.

Tomorrow is officially the first day of General Convention, but there was plenty going on today. I testified in two committees – this morning on the inequalities of the immigration system, and this afternoon supporting a study of marriage. The Communications team shot footage for the IntegriTV series – watch for the first episode due tomorrow night – and interviewed a variety of people, attended hearings and took photos (check the photo gallery on Facebook). The Nerve Center team made signs and answered questions while the legislative team followed three legislative committees and the booth team talked to lots of people and invited them to our July 4 movie night.
What a wonderful evening it was! About 125 people crowded into our meeting room to watch Out of the Box and Love Free or Die. As I’m sure you all know by now, Out of the Box is a moving and fascinating look at what it means to be transgender, and particularly, transgender people of faith. Most of the participants were there tonight, as were Bishop Gene Robinson and Bishop Tom Shaw. Love Free or Die follows Bishop Gene for an eventful year from his exclusion from the Lambeth Conference of Anglican bishops in 2008 to the General Convention of 2009 and the passing of D025 which opened the door to ordaining more LGBT bishops. In the movie, Bishop Tom Shaw comes out as a celibate gay man.
If this was the day before Convention, who can imagine how much more packed tomorrow will be! I’m off to bed. | <urn:uuid:67e6eabc-a0ac-4eb1-90eb-50c5427ecccc> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://walkingwithintegrity.blogspot.com/2012/07/still-at-starting-block-im-told.html | 2016-10-28T17:46:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725451.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00243-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.967099 | 312 | [

Student or Learner
Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expressions in bold in the following sentences?
The old man was walking along the street, pushing a small cart ahead of him.
push ahead = push in front of a, push forward
Whatever happens, we must push ahead with our plans.
"Germany will work hard during its term to push ahead on reforms of the UN Security Council," she said. "
push ahead = aggressively promote, pursue
Thank you for your efforts.
I think your interpretation is fine. Really it's the same verb used both in a physical and a metaphorical sense. The meaning is quite simply to make progress by pushing. | <urn:uuid:baeb144f-1167-460c-a1a8-37da4b51d6ba> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://www.usingenglish.com/forum/threads/132407-push-ahead | 2016-10-28T19:03:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988725451.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183845-00243-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.966612 | 143 | [

Lentil Minestrone Soup
Center Stage Salads
Beautiful Baked Pears
Here's a great dinner menu idea centered around a humble, yet nutritionally powerful legume, the lentil. A little background check on lentils reveals that man has been eating lentils for at least 8000 years. The word lentil comes from the Latin for lens, based on its shape. Lentils have been recorded as a common staple in Egypt for a good 3000 years, as well as enjoying great popularity in ancient Greece and all over the middle east.
Lentil recipes were printed in Apicius' Roman cookbook, 2000 years ago. They are mentioned in the Old Testament, and in today's culinary world, India takes first prize for growing more than 50 varieties of lentils. Species of brown, green and red lentils are commonly found in supermarkets and health food stores.
Lentils are quick cooking and do not require presoaking. They can be cooked and stored, covered, in the fridge for 5 days, wrapped airtight and frozen for months. Lentils pack a strong nutritional wallop, with one half cup (cooked) supplying 80 calories, 15 grams carbs, 3 grams protein, a trace of fat and 2 grams fiber. Use lentils in soups, salads, stews, grain dishes, and sauces.
For additional reading and recipes, take a look at Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone by Deborah Madison, The Versatile Grain And Elegant Bean by Sheryl and Mel London and Joslin Diabetes Quick And Easy Cookbook by Frances Giedt and Bonnie Polin.

|Center Stage Salads
What does salad mean to you? Is it something that comes along as a crunchy little side dish to pick on as you wait for the main event? Is your salad consciousness limited to things like Caesar, garden or iceberg lettuce and tomatoes? If so, please consider how wonderful, nutritionally powerful with low carbs and high vitamin, fiber and mineral content, a thoughtful salad can be.
We are so lucky to have an incredible variety of greens available. Bibb and butter lettuce, watercress, endive, frisee, chicory, dandelion, arugula, mache, baby spinach, romaine and leaf lettuces are ours for the picking (or picking out, at the market).
Try combining several different colors and textures. Add a few toasted nuts and crumble a little fresh soft cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, finish with some slivers of fresh apple of pear.
To insure purity of taste, keep the dressing simple. A small drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, mixed with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and grated zest, salt and freshly ground pepper, compliments salad greens and enhances their lively taste. As you experiment with different components, your salads will begin to take center stage rather than be a side dish waiting in the wings.
|Beautiful Baked Pears (4 servings)
Yes it is very important to exercise caution with the carbohydrates we eat. And yes, we all tend to love desserts. But with a little attention and skill, we can have both. A good basic rule of thumb to keep in mind is the "25 gram rule". This simple, yet elegant and exotic pear dessert is a good example:
4 small firm, ripe pears
1 tbs lemon juice, 1 ts. grated zest
One half cup Sherry or Madeira wine
One and one half tbs brown sugar
Generous pinch of cinnamon and ground ginger
- Peel pears, but leave stems on. Cut at bottom to stand pears upright. Brush with lemon juice and place in baking dish that holds pears snugly in place.
- Pour wine over pears. Mix zest, sugar and spices and sprinkle on top. Bake 40 -50 minutes until tender, in preheated 350 oven. Baste every 10 minutes with juices. Serve warm on a pretty dessert plate with pan juices drizzled over each pear A sprig of fresh mint makes a nice garnish.

A recent Samsung related leak detailed the Life Times life log app. And more recently, it looks like a series of screenshots have surfaced for another Samsung app. This latest is the S Health app and the screenshots are offering a look at an updated user interface. Specifically, what appears to be a flatter interface.
The screenshots have been released by SamMobile, who mention how this S Health release will not look “radically different” but that it has been made flatter, which keeps it more inline with Google’s guidelines for Android 4.4 Kit Kat. For those unfamiliar, the S Health app is one that encourages you to stay active and fit. S Health monitors items to include your workouts, weight and daily intake.
As you’ll notice in the images, this release of S Health brings a green coloring. Also noted, this release will add the ability to control a few items — all from the same screen. This includes being able to view walking/running details, viewing your location/path on a map and also controlling the music.
The screenshots have reportedly come from the firmware of a device with the model number of SM-G900H. Speculation suggests this could be the Galaxy S5, or at least one variant. But with that said, until we hear something official from Samsung, that bit should remain nothing more than speculation. The same can also be said about these screenshots, while they appear to be the real deal, this could be one build in a series of test builds. | <urn:uuid:41caa4dd-23e0-4576-b70a-a862efc61dde> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | https://androidcommunity.com/samsung-s-health-screenshot-leak-details-flatter-interface-20140203/ | 2016-10-22T03:34:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718423.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00304-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.954585 | 310 | [
