My first encounter with computer unimpressive. It was a compulsory subject. The ivory colored boxes were very precious that the computer lab heavily locked. They were very expensive. So I keep my safe distance from it. They looked tough but fragile. Pretty much like myself.
I was 16-year-old and anxious to try something new. No one told me, directly or indirectly, that women can’t do techie things. You basically need to master two things, logical math and English language skill. So I was ready to go.
The first thing I like from computer was the keyboard. It still the number one thing I am looking for from a laptop. I like writing and I used to write with pens or typewriter. The command I used often with the old computer was copy, paste and delete. In the advance writing processor, I am still rely on those magic three pillars. They are everything I could ever imagine. They are the essence of any kind of software today.
Copy. I have spent my life copying behaviour, languages, ideas so it’s no wonder that I love Ctrl+C shortcut very much. It makes my day since the day I knew it. Alas! The ivory colored boxes become an ivory tower and act as “big machines” as the IT industry gain more power over them. Somehow the natural instict to copy becoming a crime. Where do we go from here?
Paste. Everyone knows, or I assume everyone knows, that the IT revolution has created the magic duo of copy and paste or copas in short. People who spend a lot of time pasting know that you can’t randomly paste something. It should be contextual so that the result will have different meaning from the previous one. One can’t copy paste something without reading the source.
I feel bothered to hear some people said that copy paste have made young people to be less creative, tendency for instant result and encourage them into plagiarism. That is not how I see and experience it. The resources are abundant. If a person priority is good passing grade than the intellectual challenge and reinterpretation, then he or she will explore many ways to do just that. With or without copy paste command.
Delete. There are some points in my lives that I want to delete. I create stories and mistakes. Somehow both are hand in hand. So I can’t delete my mistakes without also delete my stories. It’s a small command that many people take for granted. But since I experienced the typewriter era, I see it as an important tool that shape the communication technology and the way I see the IT industry. However, as ICT getting “mature”, I am faced with situation where I can’t erase (delete) my data in virtual world. I can’t fathom the idea that my data will lived forever out of my will and the delete button has lost its magic power.
I never thought that those simple commands become threathening for some industries that they went very far in creating barriers that also threaten my rights. In this era, I learn more about my activism related to information technology. I am struggling to embrace back those three commands that has shaped my activism.

Dublin, Ireland November 2012 –Irish Rail Wi-Fi service chugs through the million session mark
Irish Rail has passed 1m unique sessions on its free Wi-Fi service, which will be available across the entire rolling stock by the end of this month.
FleetConnect, the Dublin-based company which won the tender to fit out the Irish Rail fleet, has revealed data from the service to date, and the statistics show some interesting trends.
Smartphones typically outnumber laptops by a factor of two to one. For example, in the last week of October, 15,800 phones were detected compared to 7,619 laptops and 1,908 tablets.
In the same week, iPhone and Android-powered devices were out in the lead with 9,802 and 8,210 respectively. The next most popular OS was Windows 7 (5,699 uses). There were slightly more iPods than iPads (2,826 vs 2,236). RIM’s BlackBerry, which was not so long ago the coveted mobile device, recorded just 628 uses over that week.
Usage of the service is growing steadily upwards – although this was always bound to happen because just a small number of trains were initially fitted with Wi-Fi access points. Between June and July this year, the number of monthlyusers more than doubled from around 40,715 to 103,683.
There was a dip in numbers during August to 72,413 – possibly explained by people being away on holidays – and then an increase to 140,541 in September and again to 160,961 in October. Average session times hovered around 49 minutes between September and early November.
Sessions are distinct from the number of actual users: one commuter who makes two journeys in a day and logs on every time would be counted as two sessions.
Another trend is that in tandem with the increase in smartphone ownership, standard web browsing is giving way to online access through apps. This is also helping to reduce congestion on any particular train.
“It took 2MB to download a page on Safari – it was more bandwidth-intensive. Apps are a quicker way to surf,” said Patrick Cotter, MD of FleetConnect.
The service is free but there are some limits. According to Cotter, Irish Rail will shortly roll out a fair usage policy aimed at providing more consistent download and upload speeds to all users.
“On a Friday evening, you could have 60 or 70 people on the same train …We’ve got to be able to make sure everybody that logs on has the same experience,” Cotter told Siliconrepublic.com.
Access to Facebook, Twitter and email will be allowed but music or video sites will be blocked to avoid any one person hogging the available bandwidth.
FleetConnect’s service uses Icomera equipment, which takes a feed from three of the four mobile networks, O2, Three and Vodafone, at any one time to ensure speeds are as consistent as possible.
As faster network speeds become available, commuters will see the benefits, Cotter claimed. “The system is 4G and LTE enabled, so once that’s launched, it’ll be ready to go,” he said.
FleetConnect is the leading Irish provider of award-winning wireless communications products and services, with a specific focus on passenger transport, public safety, and indoor and outdoor network applications. The company has already established itself as the leading provider of industrial-grade in-vehicle systems for fast broadband access, delivering passengers Wi-Fi (free Internet access) and GPS vehicle tracking – as well as connectivity to enable live CCTV and e-ticketing. Customers include Bus Eireann, Aircoach and Matthews Coaches. | <urn:uuid:a33bd609-43bf-46aa-a92c-1f2679eb7d0e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://fleetconnect.ie/2012/11/12/irish-rail-wi-fi-service-chugs-through-the-million-session-mark/ | 2017-11-23T05:43:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806736.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123050243-20171123070243-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.964206 | 778 | [

Chicago's horrific gun violence claimed another young victim when 18-year-old Janay McFarlane was shot and killed in North Chicago Friday evening.
This time, the death was marked by a tragic irony: McFarlane's sister Destini Warren had spent the afternoon at her high school, Hyde Park Academy, standing just a few feet behind President Obama as he delivered a plea to halt Chicago's bloody cycle of violence.
McFarlane had been a student at Hyde Park before she became pregnant with her now 3-month-old son and dropped out.
She was pronounced dead at 11:30 p.m. Friday from a single gunshot wound to the head, the Chicago Tribune reported. She had been visiting her father and cousin in North Chicago, a small city about 25 miles up the coast from the edge of Chicago proper.
Angela Blakely, mother to both girls, said McFarlane had been asking questions about death and her own mortality since since the high-profile death of anther Chicago teen, Hadiya Pendleton, last month.
“It's terrible, it's terrible the only thing I can remember is my daughter telling me, 'Mommy, it's so sad about Hadiya. That makes no sense,'“ Blakely said. “She always asked me a lot of questions about death.”
"All this gun violence going on, you never think it would be your child," said Herbert McFarlane, Janay's father. "This is the hardest thing for me in my life."
McFarlane's family said she had been splitting her time between her father's house in North Chicago and her mother's in the Gresham neighborhood on Chicago's south side.
"I'm in Lake County to get away from violence and now it happened in Lake County where I moved to," Herbert McFarlane said.
According to WLS, an ABC affiliate, Lake County police were questioning two people in connection to McFarlane's death.
As of last week, 49 people had been murdered in Chicago so far in 2013, 41 of them died as a result of gunshot wounds, according to data compiled by RedEye Chicago.
At least two other teens, 18-year-old Frances Colon and 17-year-old Oscar Marquez were also gunned down in separate incidents in the city this weekend. | <urn:uuid:2c566b1d-9960-4ae1-923b-227f0cf7d5d8> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.upi.com/blog/2013/02/18/Janay-McFarlane-killed-same-day-sister-sat-behind-Obama-during-gun-violence-speech/1121361199227/ | 2017-11-23T06:35:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806736.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123050243-20171123070243-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.983762 | 480 | [

We will continue to drive awareness and collaborate with key stakeholders to highlight the benefits of ‘local waste for local fuel for local transport’ across India starting with the introduction of ethanol based Green Buses across India this year”, added Mikael Benje.
Scania has been the pioneer in manufacturing sustainable vehicles which offer the best Total Operating Economy (TOE).

Its a good start, but it can definetly use alot of work. Use photos from the internet and look at other people's for reference. I know Pybrick Replicas has a great one as well as Milan CMadge. Seeing as you used LDD, you should look at my LDD Thompson M1A1. It's pretty good too.

“For You formed my inward parts; you covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139:13-14a)
SB501 SD1 “Requires all limited service pregnancy centers to disclose the availability of and enrollment information for reproductive health services; establishes privacy and disclosure requirements for individual records and information; authorizes civil penalties and civil actions for enforcement and remedy.”
Bottom line, pregnancy care centers will be required to provide information on local abortion clinics to their clients or break the law and face civil penalties and civil actions.
This bill is a battle for survival of the innocent unborn and the pregnancy care centers that advocate for them. Each pregnancy successfully carried to term is one less abortion to be performed.
Unfortunately, SB501 was passed by the Senate and moved to the House where the House Committee on Health has deferred it until 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, March 21. Turnout and testimony at the hearing last Thursday was overwhelmingly in opposition, so the deferment indicates there is still a chance that committee members can be persuaded to vote NO on this bill. We must keep the pressure on!
Please Take Action Immediately. Contact each committee member and ask him/her to vote NO on SB501 SD1. Email each committee member and then give them a call. Feel free to call and leave a message after hours. Please act now; the hearing is 10:15 a.m. this Tuesday.
Consider the wise words of Proverbs 24:11, 12, “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. If you say, “Surely we did not know this,” Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?”
- Contact as many legislators as your time allows. Every contact you make counts! Join the chorus in opposition to this bill.
House Committee on Health:
Rep. Della Au Belatti, Chair: [email protected]/ 586-9425
Rep. Bert Kobayashi, Vice Chair: [email protected] / 586-6310
Rep. Sharon E. Har: [email protected] / 586-8500
Rep. Dee Morikawa: [email protected] / 586-6280
Rep. Marcus Oshiro: [email protected] / 586-6700
Rep. Chris Todd: [email protected] / 586-8480
Rep. Andria P.L. Tupola: [email protected] / 586-8465
- Please forward this e-alert to friends and family and ask them to pray and take action.
- Please click here for a printable copy of this e-alert and distribute. Consider handing it out at church this Sunday.
More about SB501 SD1:
- Requires pregnancy care centers to do what is in direct opposition to the centers’ very mission.
- Is an attack on religious freedom.
- Is an attack on free speech.
- Is a “one-way street” that imposes no such requirement on abortion providers to advertise the services of pregnancy care centers.
- Seeks to further the agenda of abortion providers.
Know that this is not a two-way street. There is no such law in the legislature being considered that requires abortion clinics to give information out about pregnancy care centers.

HNHH's "Underrated Audio" puts you on not-too-mainstream music you might have missed from the past week.
Underrated Audio is here to provide you with choice cuts from the past week that seemed to be over-looked by the average viewer-- meaning they didn't get as many views as they deserved. This week we've got six tracks spanning the genres of r'n'b and hip-hop, including one that's not necessarily either. We're covering all bases here, with singers like Tinashe and TeeFlii to rappers like Lil Bibby and Sir Michael Rocks, UK producer Jamie xx, and underground emcee AWKWORD, there's a little something for everyone.
Check out this week's cuts in the gallery above. Let us know who you're feeling. | <urn:uuid:f8339425-3d3f-4746-8d15-4a36cf2ae084> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/underrated-audio-november-16-november-22-news.8269.html | 2017-11-17T21:34:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803944.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117204606-20171117224606-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.977159 | 169 | [

How did you get started as an image consultant?
Well I think it’s in my makeup, being raised by an interior designer. I was raised with that background. My mom was also a cosmetologist and so I had that. I just always loved playing with hair, so that’s where I started. Then a few years after that is when I got my aesthetics license, because I really liked make up as well. So that’s really been all of my life. I just always loved the whole experience, of start to finish on people. You can really do a lot for somebody’s image in a few hours.
What is your background in the beauty industry?
I went to beauty school right out of high school. I got a scholarship though a beauty pageant that I was in, so I came back and used that to enter the field. Literally right out of high school. I have always done hair and makeup. In addition, I was raised by a father that was in the construction business, and always had a husband who’s been in the construction industry, so I’ve always worked in that arena as well. So it just seems like I kind of had my hands in business operations, but I was always doing something with hair. Not to age myself, but it’s been over 30 years now that I have worked in this industry.
What challenges that you’ve had to overcome in your business?
My biggest challenge was image, but now that’s what I specialize in. I was bullied as a child and having 2 best friends created a situation where I went home daily crying, because no 3 girls can hang out together and always get along- 3 isn’t a good combination. I always used to feel like the little odd one out or the ugly duckling. Looking back, the challenge circles around ‘am I good enough, am I smart enough, am I pretty enough, am I playful enough, fun enough’?. But ‘enough’ is only a basis of comparison to others, I don’t need to be in competition with anyone but myself. It’s huge just knowing that you are good enough, you’re living your truth when you are correct in the colors that you wear, and you feel good about yourself. So I think those have been the biggest challenges, I was fighting with my own image and my own beauty, and now I know that what matters is what I think matters.
Who is an ideal client, and what you do for them?
I want an ideal client to know that they matter. A few changes and I can have them be that person that walks into the room and gets noticed. So if they are wearing their true colors they radiate. Whether they are an executive, a celebrity, a speaker, or an author I can help them get that extra polish. I have interviewed clients that are entrepreneurs starting up new businesses as well as quite a few successful entrepreneurs. Whether new or seasoned, they said without a doubt that they would not be so successful if they had not hired somebody to work with them with their colors and design image. It’s what to wear and how to wear it. My ideal clients would be the types of people who are open to getting out of their comfort zone and who want to move ahead. They want more in life. I can help anyone wake up to a whole new world of possibilities, give them a new makeover. My program includes me going to the client personally, and spending 2 full days with them making these changes. My ideal clients are those people who want to design a successful image that allows them to radiate as they enter a room.
What specifically do you offer?
I offer clients a number of packages. My favorite package is the VIP 2 day on-site consultation. It’s my favorite because my entire 2 days are focused on this one client. It is such a rewarding experience. Before I show up, I interview the customer so that I have an understanding of their goals. Then they send me some pictures and complete the personality profile overview. We schedule my 2 day visit and then I fly to work with them. These 2 days are devoted to a package of services. We have the personality profile, the makeover, the color analysis, and we work on what to wear and how to wear it. The personality profile results help us build that confident radiant person within. The makeover, the hairstyling according to movement, the clothes lines that incorporate the colors and design for this person will all reflect that radiant confident person we want. We take photos and create a book so that the client can continue to use these tools long after I have gone. By the time I walk out the door there’s 5-10 outfits they have ready to go. They know they’re going to turn heads. Now that they understand the colors that are best suited to them, the client can shop with success. It’s easier, because they know which colors are really going to shine on you with your eyes. It is such a rewarding experience.
‘Dreams by Design’ is a Business Breakthrough Experience. I offer this 12 week workshop both live and online. Clients discover how to live life on their terms, make every day their A Game, and how to live with consistent action. As a certified coach and instructor/educator, I am excited to offer this new business breakthrough opportunity. The program comes with tickets to semi-annual/monthly? events that are found on my website: www.theimagedesigners.com.
‘Million Dollar Image Consultation’ is a shorter program than the VIP program. However, it includes the building blocks that are offered in the VIP program. This includes a personality profile, a personalized color pallet, a discussion of what to wear and how to wear it, and offers an energy flow analysis. The consultation is customized to the client, but does not include any onsite visit.
‘Attracting Abundance Imagery Session’ is now available as a live seminar or through the purchase of a CD. This is the gift that keeps on giving because it helps those who have the image design piece down, work on their dream life for wealth and relaxation. The benefits are totally amazing. I think anyone who is going through transformation will be over-the-moon with the incredible results from this program.
Those clients who want a piece of this program and a portion of that program are welcome to contact me. We can work out a customized package that will meet their needs. (see contact information at the end of article). | <urn:uuid:166212c3-4ef5-4864-bb4e-cbbfd0df2ae4> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://hollyporter.com/contactholly/ | 2017-11-18T15:40:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804976.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118151819-20171118171819-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.977916 | 1,435 | [

So we got married! It was the most beautiful, magical and windy day ever!
We got married in the seaside village of Thorepeness. Friends and family from around the country came to stay for the long Easter weekend. The country club, where we spent the day overlooked the beach, due to the weather weren’t able to be outside but the violent sea and strong winds just added to the drama!
We went for a beachy nautical feel for obvious reasons but were not going to spend thousands on decoration, we felt a backdrop of the sea and beach did all the hard work for us!
We spent the Friday fluffing peach and blue pom poms (and ebay find £25 for 80) to spread around to give a bit of colour to the place. The venue came with twinkling fairy lights strung across the ceiling, which looked gorgeous during dinner.
Our stunning place setting board was made by a close friend and I cried when I saw it. It was even better than I could have wished for! I told her the theme and she ran with it, I take no credit for it at all!
She also kindly did the brilliant sweet table!
This is just a taste of the day, I will blog about table decorations, favours, dresses, suits, jewelry, transport, flowers and accessories soon!

Mountain biking is often done in wet, rainy, snowy, foggy weather in the UK, and even when it is not, there are tricks like dirt jumping, descending fast down rough mountain passes, and traveling on rocky terrain that can create lots of spills, chills, and thrills that can leave scratches, bruises, and marks. That is why you need mountain bike clothing to protect you. Even the high wind speeds when you are racing through the air can make an otherwise hot day into a nightmarishly cold one. That is why long-sleeved, protective, rough clothing is essential for mountain biking. Assuming you’ve assessed the need for mountain bike shoes and taken care of those, let’s move on to the clothing and see what you need to get.
There are tops, heavyweight full-zip hoodies, softshell jackets, casual jackets, pullover hoodies, technical bike jackets, lightweight hoodies, rain jackets, windshirts, and jackets. Most original pieces are under £100.
One example of a particularly good jacket is the Endura Stealth Jacket which is designed for bikers looking for a 100% waterproof jacket with softshell comfort. The Endura Stealth Jacket is the first fully waterproof, breathable soft-shell cycling jacket. Externally seam-sealed waterproof breathable soft-shell fabric with stretch Entrant fabric front collar, underarms and side panels create a superbly well fitted garment. Other features include side and underarm zip vents, and waterproof zipped rear pocket and welded chest pocket.
Some brands of mountain bike clothing are Northwave, Endura, Altura, Fox, Gore Bike Wear, Pearl Izumi, Sombrio, The North Face, Troy Lee Designs, and Zoic.
There are also mountain bike gloves, cold-weather bike gloves, and fingertip less gloves for keeping your hands warm, safe, and intact throughout the courses of your journeys on the mountain bike. Long underwear can help you stay warm on your mountain bike, socks, watches, and hats are the accessories you’ll need. Shorts and bibs are also good for keeping cool on mountain bike trips on extremely hot days. Cold weather bike tights can also keep you warm if you’re going biking in extremely cold weather. Whatever weather pattern you’re encountering, you can be clothed in full with the best mountain bike gear on the planet in a stunning assortment from head to toe. No one should go out on the trail in a t-shirt and shorts. It’s inconceivable, futile, and self-destructive.
People shouldn’t have to go mountain biking without the proper accessories because it is akin to taking a street bike into mountain passes and hoping for the best. You have to outfit yourself from head to toe with the right gear and be prepared for the experience. You can’t just lazily assume that mountain biking can be done in normal clothing, shoes, and with no accessories to help speed you along the path to mountain biking proficiency. The majority of people need to purchase two or three mountain biking outfits to make it easier to be clean all the time. | <urn:uuid:3dca7075-5a5c-4109-9353-d1c94c43df29> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.bikes.org.uk/mountain-bike-clothing/ | 2017-11-19T10:36:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805541.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119095916-20171119115916-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.935767 | 648 | [

Next Glass won the honor from among 10 businesses and nonprofits in the annual awards
If you've stood in the grocery aisle puzzling over what new wine to drink with dinner, this year's Entrepreneur of the Year recipient may have a solution.
Next Glass, which describes itself as the Pandora for wine and beer, won the honor from among 10 businesses and nonprofits selected from nine separate categories in the annual awards presented by the Greater Wilmington Business Journal.
The start-up's aim roughly is to figure out scientifically the characteristics of wines so wine lovers can rely on science – rather than just opinions – to choose their bottle. The recommendations then will be available via your smartphone and its website.
"We are preparing for our launch this summer. We're doing some more testing," said CEO and founder Kurt Taylor following Thursday's awards breakfast at the Burney Center at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. The company's wine selection software "is about ready to be released and we're very excited about it."
Winners in specific categories were SIVAD Business Solutions in the technology category. The company, run by brothers Ron and Charles Davis, produces software to help elections run more smoothly.
Biotech: Quality Chemical Laboratories, headed by by Yousry Sayed, does testing for biopharmaceutical companies and now employs 130 and occupies five buildings.
Retail: National Speed, headed by Jordan Watson, is an auto speed and performance shop that is expanding to Greenville and Charlotte.
Emerging: Headed by Julie Thomas, DocsInk is a health care communications firm founded in 2011.
Services: Without Limits is a sports coaching firm headed by Tom Clifford that is expanding into an apparel line.
Health care: TOZAL was founded in 2007 by macular degeneration expert Edward Paul Jr. According to its website, TOZAL is "a patented blend of micronutrients and antioxidants developed to help maintain ocular health and treat age-related macular degeneration."
Manufacturing: Odyssey Fire Protection, led by Kevin Hommes and Eric Williams, designs, builds and installs fire suppression systems for homes and businesses.
Two organizations won in the nonprofit category.
Led by executive director J.C. Skane, WARM (the Wilmington Area Rebuilding Ministry) does home repairs and upgrades for low-income owners. It made improvements to 80 area homes last year.
Cape Fear Clinic, headed by John Devaney, brings quality health care to those who cannot afford it. It has served 2,000 people this year.

Franco-Ontarians (Franco-Ontariens or Franco-Ontariennes if female) are French Canadian or francophone residents of the Canadian province of Ontario. They are sometimes known as "Ontarois". According to the 2006 Canadian census, there were 488,815 self-declared francophones in Ontario (declaring one mother tongue), comprising 4.1 per cent of the province's total population. A further 1,000,000 Ontarians self-declared French to be one of multiple mother tongues. According to the subsequent 2011 Canadian census, there were 493,300 self-declared francophones in Ontario (declaring one mother tongue) comprising 3.9% of the province's total population. There were 284,115 Ontarians who declared French as their home language, which represents only 2.2% of the population. Franco-Ontarians constitute the largest French-speaking community in Canada outside of Quebec, as well as the largest minority language group within Ontario. The francophone population is concentrated in Eastern Ontario, in Ottawa, Cornwall and many rural farming communities, and in Northeastern Ontario, in the cities of Sudbury, North Bay and Timmins and a number of smaller towns. Other communities with notable francophone populations are Lakeshore, Windsor, Penetanguishene and Welland. Most communities in Ontario have at least a few Franco-Ontarian residents. Ottawa, with 128,620 francophones, has the province's largest Franco-Ontarian community by size. Among the province's major cities, Greater Sudbury, 29 per cent francophone, has the largest proportion of Franco-Ontarians to the general population, and Timmins, 41 per cent francophone, has the largest proportion among the smaller sized cities. Prescott and Russell United Counties has the highest proportion of Franco-Ontarians to the general population among the province's census divisions, with about two-thirds of the population being francophone. Some smaller communities in Ontario have a francophone majority. These include Hearst, Kapuskasing, Smooth Rock Falls, Embrun, St. Charles, West Nipissing, Rockland, Casselman, Dubreuilville, Vankleek Hill and Hawkesbury.

We talked with Dhruva Rajendra and David Dimock, CTIS-Health 2.0 Developer Challenge, about the biggest challenges, trends and developments in health care technology at the Health 2.0 San Francisco 2011 Fall Conference.
These developer challenge winners were asked by the Lucille Packard Foundation to create a program that could get parents of children with special health needs more educated, empowered, and engaged. Team School Records created a pilot for children with asthma living in California, including an EHR where the school nurse and parents can remain connected at any given time during the day, connecting the EHR updates with parent’s cell phones via text message, as well as air quality text updates in real-time.
With over 20 online challenges and 6 code-a-thon events across the country, 2011 has been the year where the challenge model has brought innovation to health care. Under the rubric of the America COMPETES Act, ONC has contracted with Health 2.0 to run its Investing in Innovation i2 Challenge series. The Health 2.0 Developer Challenge continues with both HHS and private sector challenges. In the video above, see the winners from both the online Challenges and the live code-a-thons. And hear about several brand new challenges being launched with significant prizes.
Todd Park, CTO of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services discusses the Health 2.0 Developer Challenge program.
See winners from both the online Health 2.0 Developer Challenge and the most recent Health 2.0 code-a-thons.
In this episode of the Health 2.0 Show, Kyle Robertson kicks us off with a demonstration of the brand new Health 2.0 TV. Then, as usual, our Jean-Luc Neptune waxes poetically about the latest goings on with the Health 2.0 Developer Challenges, before kicking the ball over to Matthew Holt for a big announcement: Health 2.0 Spring Fling and Matchpoint Boston! Matthew Holt and Indu Subaiya walk us through all the exciting events planned for our Spring Fling, while Marco Smit describes what Matchpoint is and why you should be excited about it. To round out the show, we have an update on our India 2012 conference and a recap of the Berlin 2011 conference.
The Health 2.0 Developer Challenge was announced in June 2010 as a result of the Community Health Data Initiative. Since it’s announcement, it’s created 10+ challenges and dozens of teams working on them. This session will highlight a handful of the winners, with information about the future of innovation in Health 2.0. | <urn:uuid:323fc9d5-ed2b-4970-9bf3-0f71a4b1b68e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://legacy.health2con.com/tv/tag/developer-challenge-2/ | 2017-11-20T05:29:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805914.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120052322-20171120072322-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.941067 | 539 | [

Manufacturers want you to jump on their hype train before it even arrives at the station, which is why they tease a device before launching it. And that’s what BLU is doing: teasing a brand new flagship device ahead of its launch later this month.
BLU is teasing the Pure XR on its official Facebook page, showing off the front of the device but keeping the details at a minimum. We do know the handset will boast 4GB of RAM, though. There appears to be a physical button below the display, too, and a front-facing camera in place above the display.
BLU says the Pure XR is a “premium device” and it will be unveiled on August 29, so the wait won’t be too long. | <urn:uuid:9e544709-2b9c-41df-adf6-bdaea960a860> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://androidandme.com/2016/08/news/the-blu-pure-xr-teased-ahead-of-august-29-launch/ | 2017-11-20T06:02:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805914.1/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120052322-20171120072322-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.959977 | 160 | [

James C. Hogan introduces every one play by means of highlighting particular and interpretive difficulties appropriate to that play prior to turning to a line-by-line research. the road research is complete, starting from the meanings of phrases and words that pertain to various Greek rules and associations to metaphor and imagery particular to every play in addition to plots and borrowings from previous poetry, types, and characterizations.Along together with his exam of the seven extant performs of Sophocles in English translations, Hogan offers a basic advent to the theatre in Sophocles’ time, discussing staging, the conventions of the Greek theatre, the textual content of the performs, and mythology and faith.

Extra resources for A commentary on the plays of Sophocles
On the controversial issues, I have referred the reader to more comprehensive treatments in English. Compared with Aeschylus, Sophoclean drama is more subtle, problematic, and ambiguous in ethical and psychological matters. A commentator may feel obliged to eludicate certain issues more fully than Aeschylus requires. I have yielded to the temptation to explain purpose and character, but on the more controversial points I have given the reader an account of, or reference to, other interpretations.
Thus, while some divinities are associated with moral and social functions, and in some contexts Ares is simply War, Aphrodite Love, Greek religion does not present deity as concerned with the moral or spiritual improvement of man. Man must respect and fear divine power; he is not expected to love the gods. To illustrate with small matters, both Creon (OK 64449) and Lichas (Tr 399401) take oaths, and Zeus is the god who oversees the sanctity of oaths. Creon swears truly and is taken seriously; Lichas forswears himself, though the truth is soon forced from him.

An insider tells HollywoodLife.com which two guys played matchmakers on Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas’s first date — and it’s definitely not who you’d expect!
Pia Toscano and Mark Ballas‘s first date April 9 wasn’t a complete act of faith. The recently booted American Idol contestant and Dancing with the Stars pro had some coaxing from mutual friends, James Durbin and Chris Jericho!
“The trailers are on the same lot and James had started a friendship with Chris,” a source tells us. “At first Pia was just joking around that she wanted to meet Mark, but she was secretly serious about the whole thing. James told Chris about Pia liking Mark and then it worked out from there.”
Talk about team work! However, from the sound of it, James and Chris’s hard work paid off for the 22-year-old singer and 24-year-old dancer.
“They didn’t have any PDA the entire date, but Mark obviously paid for the meal,” our source says. “They talked about their love for music. There will definitely be another date…if there hasn’t been one already.”
Adds the insider, “Also, the story about Mark rescheduling his music video shoot for Pia is totally not true.”
We think Pia and Mark make an adorable couple. Do YOU think they’ll become the hottest new reality TV couple? Sound off below!

Peace & Grands
I love unearthing these photos that I haven't seen for some time. This one is of my Aunt Winnie and Uncle Charlie with my children, ages 9 and 7, and their grandson at age 4. I love the way my son's arm is around his Uncle Charlie, who used to babysit for my children sometimes when they were small. He died five years ago. My kids used to love when he watched over them. A gentle sort who never tried too hard to win them over, they nevertheless knew he adored them. Around when this photo was taken, my uncle used to walk my son to the bus stop each morning to make sure he got on the right bus to school. My boy had only recently begun traveling alone on public transportation. My aunt and uncle look so robust in this picture. They were, I believe, 83 and 85. Aunt Winnie is thin as a wraith now. But that expression on her face, looking down at her peace-sign flashing grandbaby, was the same one that flickered there when her grandson, now 16, visited her when he was in town from Virginia two weeks ago. These people are my heart. | <urn:uuid:4d69e35d-d10d-4c8b-9b76-7817dbc0d5ec> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://37paddington.blogspot.com/2013/07/peace-love-grands.html | 2017-11-22T14:23:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806609.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122141600-20171122161600-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.98507 | 250 | [

First he played Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Finland, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Scotland, France, Ireland, the U.K., Spain, Belgium and -- oh yes -- Baltimore.
Then, 13 months after resurrecting the Smashing Pumpkins -- the brand not the band -- Billy Corgan finally got around to returning home to play Chicago.
Except it was in Hammond. In Indiana. At a casino.
That one of Chicago's most commercially successful rock stars chose his return at a venue called The Venue at Horseshoe Casino struck some ticket-holders as slightly weird.
"It's a freaking casino," said an exasperated Kate Rowan, 28, of Pilsen, as she waited for the band to start after beelining through a gaming floor of people working the slots and saddling up to Keno tables. "You have to be here with non-fans."
Across the floor stood Scott Straley, 37, of Chicago, who figured he would be standing for this occasion at Metro, where Corgan orchestrated the finale of the Pumpkins' first incarnation in 2000. "Are they boycotting Chicago?" he asked.
Fair question. The Venue is not Metro, nor does it try to be. While the new $70 million space has the charm of an airplane hangar and suffers from a floor with no incline (woe to the vertically challenged), it does provide dynamic sound, and the generous space makes navigating a 3,300-capacity standing-room-only crowd feel very manageable.
But yes, it's a casino. There's no doubt The Venue was built to drive new faces to the slots, which will be inevitable considering you need to pass by several hundred of them to get to the music.
Corgan did not mention any of this during the two-hour, 15-minute show. Despite a back-to-back delivery of his band's signature hits ("Today," "Bullet With Butterfly Wings") that were rushed through like obligations, the new-period Pumpkins were not grounded in the dark, personal obsessions of its leader but instead found urgency in a meat-and-potatoes meal of distortion, drones, lengthy guitar explorations and songs that started in one place and then sprayed into several different directions. Featuring founding drummer Jimmy Chamberlin, the new lineup -- now a quintet including three new members -- played with more brawn and musical vitality than the original incarnation ever did.
The set list briefly looked backward but didn't stay long. Instead, Corgan mined "Zeitgeist" (Reprise), the comeback album, a recent EP, and unexpected fare such as "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun," a Pink Floyd rarity that allowed the band to submerge into gauzy atmosphere.
Despite a three-set interlude of softer songs, which featured "Once Upon a Time," a heartfelt letter to Corgan's mother, the new-era Pumpkins were more intent to cut loose with material that played with structure and labored under little pretense.
"United States," a nearly 20-minute new song, put focus on Chamberlin as he shifted tempos to abandon the chaos the band created only to have it follow him again and again. "G.L.O.W.," an unreleased new single, opened with a slinky bass until two guitars crashed in.
Corgan, wearing a silver metallic skirt, exuded a bandleader ruled more by expediency than torment. "Hope and change -- that's us," he joked. Later the band pulled out kazoos for "We Only Come Out at Night," a dark "Mellon Collie" rarity. | <urn:uuid:b84c13ad-0e0b-4c89-adce-1b5a1ff0ad40> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2008-08-11/features/0808100154_1_jimmy-chamberlin-smashing-pumpkins-horseshoe-casino | 2017-11-23T09:59:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806768.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123085338-20171123105338-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.965529 | 762 | [

Years have gone by but we still watch reruns of Friends over and over (and over) again. Even if there are no signs of a show revival, we get by through this little silver lining—Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, who played siblings on Friends, will be doing their own reunion for a new TV show.
The Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair reported that the actresses already signed on to be the executive producers and stars of a new series. The title or even the network? Still no word. What we know so far is that it’ll be set in the morning talk show and New York media industry.
Even the direction of the series is still kept secret, so we’re still not sure if it’s a comedy like the movie The Ugly Truth or a little more serious like TV series The Newsroom. The Hollywood Reporter said that Michael Ellenberg, the former drama head of HBO, brainstormed on the idea and it will be written by Jay Carson, one of the writers of House of Cards. Based on these clues alone, it sounds like it’s going to be a really intense drama series.
Jennifer Aniston has only done guest roles the past few years and hasn’t really joined a series permanently while Reese Witherspoon starred in HBO’s Big Little Lies.
Are you excited for this mini reunion? I am. And that means losing a lot of sleep so I can marathon the upcoming show.

11 September 1279 A.D. Robert Kilwardby Dies—48th of 105 Archbishops of Canterbury
· 1 Life
· 2 Works
Kilwardby studied at the University of Paris, then was a teacher of grammar and logic there. He then joined the Dominican Order and studied theology, and became regent at Oxford University before 1261, probably by 1245. He was named provincial prior of the Dominicans for England in 1261, and in October 1272 Pope Gregory X appointed him as Archbishop of Canterbury to end a dispute over the election. Kilwardby was provided to the archbishopric on 11 October 1272, given the temporalities on 12 December 1272, and consecrated on 26 February 1273.
Kilwardby crowned Edward I and his wife Eleanor as king and queen of England in August 1274, but otherwise took little part in politics. He instead concentrated on his ecclesiastical duties, including charity to the poor and donating to the Dominicans.
In 1278 Pope Nicholas III named Kilwardby Cardinal Bishop of Porto and Santa Rufina. He then resigned Canterbury and left England, taking with him papers, registers and documents belonging to the see. He also left the see deep in debt again, after his predecessor had cleared the debt. He died in Italy in 1279 and was buried in the Dominican convent in Viterbo, Italy. While in theory this was a promotion, probably it was not, as the pope was unhappy with Kilwardby's support of efforts to resist the payment of papal revenues and with the lack of effort towards the reforms demanded at the Second Council of Lyon in 1274.
Included amongst his writings are De ortu scientiarum, De tempore, De Universali, and some commentaries on Aristotle. He was also the author of a summary of the writings of the Church Fathers, arranged alphabetically. De tempore has been translated and edited by Alexander Broadie recently, and published as On Time and Imagination, Part 2: Introduction and Translation. A critical edition of De orto scientiarum was published by Albert G. Judy, for The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies in 1976.
Kilwardby's theological and philosophical views were summed up by David Knowles who said that he was a "conservative eclectic, holding the doctrine of seminal tendencies and opposing...the Aristotelian doctrine of the unity of form in beings, including man." Some sources state that he was the author of Summa Philosophiae, a history and description of the schools of philosophical thought then current, but the writing style is not similar to his other works, and Knowles, for one, does not believe it was authored by Kilwardby.
It has been alleged that Kilwardby was an opponent of Thomas Aquinas. In 1277 he prohibited the teaching of thirty theses, some of which have been thought to touch upon Thomas Aquinas' teaching. Recent scholars, however, such as Roland Hissette, have challenged this interpretation.

Canvasback Wellness Feature
Ann came to Wellness suffering from a dangerously high blood sugar level: over 300. Before the program, she would wake up hungry during the night. Her left foot hurt, and her eyesight was blurry. She was eating white rice, white bread, and meat. And she loved sugary drinks: Kool-Aid, punch, hot cocoa, and Mountain Dew.
After going through the high fiber, low sugar Wellness center diet for 10 days, Ann has seen the improvement a different diet can make. She safely lost 14 pounds and dropped her blood sugar level to 102!
The change is drastic and leaves Ann feeling good. “I feel happy now,” she said. “My stomach is soft; before, it was hard. Now I have more energy, clearer vision, and no more pain.”
Ann has decided to stick to this regimen of healthy eating and daily exercise. “No more sugary drinks, no more meat, white flour, or white rice,” she said. “Now it’s water, beans, oats, barley, brown rice, and vegetables with fruit.”
Since she’s felt the change in health for herself, Ann is now an advocate for Wellness: “I want to tell my people, ‘Don’t make the mistakes I did. Eat beans and greens every day.’”
In just a couple weeks, Canvasback Wellness can lead people to healthier, longer lives. As Ann said, “The people don’t know why they are dying. We need to tell them how to stop it.” With your help, we are doing just that. | <urn:uuid:d3a3ee62-6d04-498c-b7a6-71cb16313d77> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.canvasback.org/news/?offset=1418693892440 | 2017-11-23T09:18:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806768.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123085338-20171123105338-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.97349 | 358 | [

This classic straight deck bulk carrier was built in 1963 as hull #1048 by Saint John Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co., Saint John, NB. Named to honor the province in which she was built, the vessel was launched April 20, 1963 as the Newbrunswicker for owners Calvert Distillers Ltd., Montreal, PQ. The Newbrunswicker entered into service under a bareboat charter to Eastern Lake Carriers Ltd. with Papachristidis Co. Ltd., Montreal, QC as managers. The vessel is powered by a Canadian General Electric 9,900 s.h.p. cross compound steam turbine engine with 2 heavy fuel oil fired Babcock & Wilcox water tube boilers; the power being fed to a single fixed pitch propeller giving her a maximum speed of 19 m.p.h. She is equipped with a 500 h.p bow thruster. Nineteen hatches feed into 6 holds where she can carry 25,884 tons at Seaway draft of 26’03” and is capable of carrying 27,951 tons at mid summer draft of 27’08 ˝”.
The Newbrunswicker passed upbound through the Welland Canal on her maiden voyage on May 2, 1963. During her first year of service, the vessel set a wheat record on September 17 by loading 918,215 bushels at Fort William, ON (now Thunder Bay) for Montreal, QC; a record that stood only until 1964. August 13, 1964 saw the vessel grounded on a shoal in the St. Lawrence River just below Cornwall, ON and not released until 3 days later. She then broke a soybean record June 18, 1965 when 885,700 bushels were loaded at Duluth, MN bound for a St. Lawrence River port; a record which stood until 1967. The Newbrunswicker came under the direct ownership of Eastern Lake Carriers Ltd. with Papachristidis remaining as managers in 1965.
The Newbrunswicker was renamed Grande Hermine in 1967. The Grande Hermine was named after La Grande Hermine, the flagship of North American explorer Jacques Cartier’s flotilla of 1534. (Jacques Cartier’s actual mission was to find a direct route from France to China.) Being of 78’08” in length, 25’ beam, 12’ in depth, and displacing 120 tons; La Grande Hermine had 3 masts, carried a complement of 112, and was armed with 12 guns. Following a fleet tradition, this was the third vessel in Papachristidis’ fleet to be given this name; the others being salt water vessels given the name in 1946 and 1955. The Grande Hermine continued to set records when, on April 16, 1969; 880,061 bushels of soybeans were loaded at Toledo, OH for Port Cartier, QC. The grain and iron ore trade shuttle carrying grain from various Great Lakes ports to elevators along the St. Lawrence River with return loads of iron ore from Gulf of St. Lawrence ports continued to provide the majority of the cargoes for this vessel under the Papachristidis banner until the end of 1971.
Just prior to the beginning of the 1972 navigation season, Jackes Shipping Ltd., Toronto, ON (division of Upper Lakes Group) acquired the Grande Hermine renaming the vessel Canadian Mariner. Taking the Upper Lakes fleet prefix “Canadian”, “Mariner” honors all of the sailors on and off the Great Lakes. Upper Lakes Shipping Corp., Toronto (ULS Corp.) assumed direct ownership of the vessel in 1979.
The Canadian Mariner’s boilers were automated in January, 1974 and the vessel was noted to have struck bottom in the St. Marys River in heavy fog in May of the same year. Of particular note, on April 16, 1979; the Canadian Mariner distinguished herself by answering the distress calls of the small N.M. Paterson & Sons bulker Labradoc during a spring storm on Lake Erie. The Labradoc had developed a 26 degree list to port in heavy seas about 18 miles northwest of Ashtabula, OH. The Canadian Mariner stood by upwind to act as a breakwall for the disabled vessel and to assist if needed to pick up survivors. Helicopters rescued the crew and the Labradoc survived the storm. The Canadian Mariner again touched bottom in the St. Marys River on December 25, 1981 while downbound with wheat. The vessel had taken on some water but was allowed to proceed.
From 1993 through to the January, 2000; the vessel operated under the management of Seaway Bulk Carriers, Winnipeg, MB (partnership of Upper Lakes Group and Algoma Central). The Canadian Mariner currently operates under the management of Seaway Marine Transport, St. Catharines, ON which is the new management group formed as a result of the combining of the Seaway Bulk Carriers and Seaway Self Unloaders fleets.
On June 18, 1997; steering gear failure caused the Canadian Mariner to ground hard upon a shoal adjacent to Crossover Island, NY while downbound in the St. Lawrence River. After being lightered by the D.C. Everest and the spud barge Henry T, and aided by tugs Wyatt McKeil, Carolyn Jo, Evans McKeil, Glenbrook, John Spence, and Robinson Bay; the Canadian Mariner was freed on June 27, 1997. The damaged vessel received a 200’ gash under #’s 1, 2, and 3 holds as well as bow thruster damage. After inspection, she was allowed to proceed to Quebec City, QC to unload, then proceed back to Port Weller Dry Docks, St. Catharines for repair; arriving June 26, 1997.
As has been the case throughout her career, cargoes carried by the Canadian Mariner have continued to be focused on the grain and iron ore trades; with other occasional cargoes including coal, sugar, and cement. With fewer grain cargoes, the economics of operating a straight deck steam powered vessel, and her age all point to a very uncertain future for the Canadian Mariner. Steam powered Seaway Marine fleet mates Algogulf (2), Algoriver, and Canadian Voyager were sent for scrap in 2002. The Canadian Mariner sailed in the spring of 2002 while her diesel powered fleet mate Canadian Miner was at Port Weller Dry Docks for her 5-year survey. The Canadian Mariner sailed again in the fall of 2002 after receiving a temporary extension to her 5-year survey which had just expired, to cover loads booked for her damaged fleet mate Canadian Prospector (victim of a collision in mid October, 2002). On her final load of the 2002 season, the Canadian Mariner cleared the Thunder Bay, ON piers late on December 13, 2002 with 24,596 tons (24,207.443 metric tonnes) of wheat bound for Montreal; returning to Toronto for lay up with a storage load of raw sugar. With a tow ring already welded to her bow, this laden voyage was probably her last. | <urn:uuid:8dde0e58-cd83-4163-a595-ade746bb42b4> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.boatnerd.com/pictures/fleet/canadianmariner.htm | 2017-11-24T03:34:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807084.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124031941-20171124051941-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.955545 | 1,486 | [

The second week of the 2012 college football season features an intriguing intra-state rivalry game with the Purdue Boilermakers (1-0) of the Big Ten traveling to Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, IN to take on the 24th ranked Fighting Irish this Saturday afternoon (3:30pm ET) in their 84th meeting. Purdue rolled to a 48-6 win over Eastern Kentucky at home last week in their opener, easily covering the 22 point line. Notre Dame also rolled to a 50-10 win over rival Navy in Dublin Ireland, covering a 15 point line with ease. The two teams last met on October 1, 2011 in West Lafayette; a game won by the Irish 38-10 as they covered an 11 point line.
The Boilermakers started Robert Marve at quarterback last week against Eastern Kentucky, and he threw for 295 yards in the win. Returning QB Caleb TerBush was suspended last week and could see action this week. TerBush threw for 1,905 yards with 13 TDs and 6 INTs last season. The Irish have last season’s starting QB Tommy Rees returning from suspension this week, although he is not expected to start, and will again be without suspended leading rusher Cierre Wood this week against the Boilermakers. The Irish did not seem to miss Wood or Rees last week, as they ran for 257 yards against Navy; the ninth straight game in which they have rushed for over 200 yards. The defense showed big play ability, with a 77 yard fumble return for a TD by defensive end Stephon Tuitt and an interception and fumble recovery by All-American linebacker Manti Te’o. The Irish defense held Navy’s strong triple-option running game to 149 yards on 40 carries, its worst performance since the 2010 season.
Purdue vs. Notre Dame Spread and Betting Odds:
Purdue Boilermakers +14
@ Notre Dame Fighting Irish -14
Over 52 (-110)
Under 52 (-110)
Betting odds taken from Bovada.lv <- $250 FRRE BET
Purdue vs. Notre Dame Pick:
Purdue is 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games. Notre Dame is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games and 3-9 ATS in their last 12 September games. The over is 7-1-2 in the Boilermakers last 10 games on grass and 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. The under is 4-0 in ND’s last games against a team with a winning record, and 14-5 in their last 19 home games. In head-to-head play, the underdog is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings, and the road team is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 meetings. Notre Dame holds a 55-26-2 lead in the 83 meetings in the series.
Both teams can put up points, as they showed last week albeit against over-matched opponents. Everett Golson is again expected to start at quarterback for the Irish, and his ability to run and throw should give the Purdue defense matchup problems all game long. The Irish ran for a whopping 7.2 YPC (287 yards total) in last season’s victory over Purdue, with the immobile Rees under center, so they should be able to establish the run and open up the play-action passing game and roll outs for Golson in this game. Purdue has a pair of experienced quarterbacks, so regardless of who starts the Boilermakers should be able to produce a respectable showing on offense and put up points against an Irish defense that is among the toughest in the country. Notre Dame does not have a great record of covering in the recent past, and they could suffer from the after effects of their ling trip back from Ireland this week, which makes taking them to cover a two touchdown line a bit dicey. There should be some scoring in this one however, as the Irish have averaged over 30 PPG in their last games against Purdue, and they appear to have an explosive offense again this season. Take the over here as the safer play rather than playing the point spread.

About a week ago I had a little time to spare between when I got out of work and when I had to pick up the kids so I decided I would take a little trip to +Walgreens, I wasn't sure what I planned to purchase, but I just was in the mood to browse. Now, I don't often head to Walgreens considering I work at Walmart, but when I do I almost always find something I just have to have, and this was one of those days.
New Nail Addiction
Where to Buy:
Walmart (not in all)
Now, I have been curious about blending sponges since the release of the Beauty Blender, but I never seen the point of paying $20 for a sponge I wasn't sure I would like. So, when I came across this blending sponge by Studio 35 Beauty for only $6 I knew I had to try it. Now when opening the package the first thing I noticed was that it didn't include any instructions, so before I could even use the sponge I had to do a little research. I noticed some people use the sponge wet, and some use it dry, so I decided I had to test it both ways. The first time I applied foundation with the sponge dry and although I did get an even application I felt that the sponge was absorbing up too much of my foundation. The second time I tested it wet and it worked so much better, the sponge didn't absorb my foundation and the application looked smoother, and I didn't have to work at blending as hard as I do when using a brush. Now to get the sponge wet I ran warm water and just placed the sponge underneath until it filled with water, afterwards I squeezed as much of the water out as possible leaving the sponge only damp, you do not want the water to be able to drip out while applying your makeup. These sponges can be used for all sorts of makeup applications and they have the big rounded end for larger areas, and the small pointed ends for smaller areas. I have been using this sponge for a couple days now and I do like it much better than any previous applicator I have used.
I have heard many other drugstore hauls mention Revlon's Just Bitten Lipstain and Balm, but I have no clue what they seen in it, I purchased it in a pink shade called Desire and I wasn't that impressed. For starters the lip stain took quite a few applications before you could even see a hint of color, and it made my lips feel extremely dry (maybe that is why they include some lip balm). The lip balm is just a generic simple balm that didn't last long, but did give my lips a little shine.
I have been searching for some peel-off facial masks in a couple local stores so when I seen this I just had to grab it. I have tested a couple products from Freeman's before and liked them, so I wasn't hesitant at trying the brand, and I like the scent of cucumber. This mask is suppose to clarify and renew skin, and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed, soft, and clean.
For the past about eight months I have been a rocking a lovely shade of natural red called Hot Tamale, and it takes A LOT of upkeep, so I bought this John Frieda Radiant Red Shampoo and Conditioner in hopes that it will help prolong my color. I have been using this for about a two weeks now and I have noticed that I have A LOT less washout of color, and my hair has more shine to it. This shampoo and conditioner also has a wonderful scent and leaves my hair softer, and less frizzy. They offer this shampoo for all hair colors and I would especially recommend it to women who have problems with washout. | <urn:uuid:a7945d5f-be7c-49cd-a1ca-ae3c097ad539> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://brigrim.blogspot.com/2013/03/walgreens-haul.html | 2017-11-24T21:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808972.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124214510-20171124234510-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.984608 | 778 | [

|Holographic French Nail Design|
I know that it doesn't seem very holo-y but believe me it was so holographic its insane. I actually didn't expect it to be so much so. A delightful surprise! I used Flormar Nail Enamel in 397 as my base. Its a very natural pink French nail color. Definitely a new fave. Then I did the v-shaped design with Color Club Fashion Addict. And finally I added the silver stripes with La Girl Art Deco Nail Art Lacquer in Silver Glitter and added some topcoat. Great design and totally loving it. Have a great weekend!

Dallas, Texas (December 4, 2015) – The Nasher Sculpture Center, along with Co-Chairs Sheryl and Eric Maas and Lisa and John Runyon, announce the Nasher’s fourth annual family fundraising event, The Great Create, which will take place on Sunday, April 24, 2016 from 1-4 pm. This annual event aims to engage families’ artistic sides while raising essential funds for the Nasher’s educational initiatives year after year.
The Great Create: By Artists. For Kids is a celebration of youth art education and appreciation featuring a fun-filled afternoon of hands-on art activities and workshops in Nasher Garden led by artists from around the world, as well as live entertainment and kid-friendly food. The program is geared toward children 12 and under, and teens ages 13 and up are invited to serve as “Art Ambassadors” to assist the artists and younger attendees.
On November 3, The Great Create Co-Chairs, Sheryl and Eric Maas and Lisa and John Runyon, hosted The Great Create Kick-off to celebrate this year’s fundraiser—an invite-only event for parents at the Maas Residence, complete with spontaneous performances by the dance troupe DGDG, vibrantly costumed by The Color Condition. Parents sipped Casa Dragones cocktails and visited with the Dallas-based artists who will participate in the 2016 The Great Create. Co-Chairs, Eric and Sheryl Maas and Lisa and John Runyon, along with Nasher Director Jeremy Strick, spoke about what’s in store for this exciting event, which will include participation by a number of internationally renowned artists, such as Bettina Pousttchi and E.V. Day.
All proceeds from the event will enable the Nasher Sculpture Center to continue providing exceptional youth education programs throughout the year, such as the 3:01 Club After-school Program, Summer Institute for Teens and free student tours. Education programs account for more than 33% of the Center’s attendance each year, allowing many students and families to experience the Nasher at no cost.
The 2016 The Great Create artists will include:
The Color Condition (Marianne Newsom and Sunny Sliger)
Oil and Cotton (Shannon Driscoll and Kayli House Cusick)
Previous The Great Create artists have included the likes of Diana Al-Hadid, Morehshin Allahyari, Matt Clark, Annette Lawrence, Jason Meadows, Ruben Ochoa, Robyn O’Neil, Ry Rocklen, Allison V. Smith, John Holt Smith and Tony Tasset.

What a year! Who know what the current economic and political situation will have on real estate?
However, there are some clear trends to keep an eye on for next year. Among the most important: interest rates. Will housing prices rise or fall if and when interest rates go up? What will happen to affordability? All crucial questions.
See what the National Association of REALTORS® has to say about the future here:
Housing Trends to Watch in 2017
Recent spikes in mortgage rates may potentially price some first-time home buyers out of the market. The higher rates mixed with rising home prices will likely cause the housing market to slow in 2017 and see only moderate growth, according to a new report released by realtor.com® that outlines forecasts for the housing market in the new year.
“The 2017 national real estate market is predicted to slow compared to the last two years, across the majority of economic indicators,” according to the report.
Snapshot of 2017 Forecasts
- Home prices are expected to rise 3.9 percent nationwide.
- Existing-home sales are predicted to increase 1.9 percent to 5.46 million homes in 2017.
- Mortgage rates are forecasted to reach 4.5 percent, rising above the 3.5 percent averages seen for most of 2016.
- The homeownership rate is expected to stabilize at 63.5 percent, after bottoming out at 62.9 percent in 2016.
- New-home sales are expected to increase 10 percent while new home starts are predicted to rise 3 percent.
Home prices are expected to rise 3.9 percent, and existing-home sales are predicted to increase 1.9 percent to 5.46 million homes in 2017.
Mortgage rates are forecasted to reach 4.5 percent, rising above the 3.5 percent averages seen for most of 2016. These higher rates may reverse the recent increases in first-time home buyers coming to the market.
“The 40 basis points increase in rates in the days following the election has caused us to increase our interest rate prediction for next year,” says Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®’s chief economist. “With more than 95 percent of first-time home buyers dependent on financing their home purchase, and a majority of first-time buyers reporting one or more financial challenges, the uptick we’ve already seen may price some first-timers out of the market.”
Realtor.com® also predicts the following housing trends could reshape the housing market in 2017:
1. Millennials and boomers to dominate: These two giant demographics are expected to fuel demand for at least the next decade in the housing market. Realtor.com® has lowered its prediction of the millennial market share to 33 percent of buyers due to recent increases in mortgage rates. Baby boomers are expected to make up 30 percent of buyers in 2017.
2. Midwestern cities get more attention from millennials: Watch the country’s midsection for a spike in the millennial purchase market share in 2017. Strong affordability in 15 of the 19 largest Midwestern markets will make them a millennial magnet in the coming months and years ahead. Realtor.com® says that the following metros have an average millennial market share of 42 percent or higher: Madison, Wis.; Columbus, Ohio; Omaha, Neb.; Des Moines, Iowa; and Minneapolis.
3. Price appreciation to slow: Home prices are forecasted to slow to a 3.9 percent year-over-year growth in 2017. That is down from an estimated 4.9 percent growth this year. Realtor.com®’s analysis shows that of the 100 largest metros nationwide, 26 markets are expected to see prices rise 1 percent point or more. Greensboro-High Point, N.C.; Akron, Ohio; and Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, Md. are expected to see the largest gains.
4. Fewer homes on the market: Inventory is expected to drop even lower in 2017, offering home buyers even fewer choices. Already, inventory is down an average of 11 percent in the top 100 metros.
5. Western cities to lead in prices and sales: Western metros are expected to see price increases of 5.8 percent in 2017. Sales are expected to rise 4.7 percent, which is higher than the anticipated averages for the rest of the country. Western markets continue to dominate realtor.com®’s 2017 top housing markets list, notably Los Angeles; Sacramento and Riverside, Calif.; Tucson, Ariz.; and Portland, Ore.

Sir Daemon Dracone
Don't worry. In blackest nights, the dawn will always come back.
Social Rank: 6
Concept: Landless Knight
Hair Color: Platinum Blonde
Eye Color: Green
Description: Tall and fair haired, Daemon is the picture perfect representation of knightly elegance straight from the Oathlands. With shining locks of hair and a young face devoid of blemishes, his fading youth can barely be noticed against his pale skin. Catching emerald eyes are often curious or set forward in a dutiful gaze. His build is what one would expect from someone who's spent years training with both blade and social etiquette, carrying himself with regal posture while at the same time being toned to a warrior's physique. Broad shoulders compliment his more slender arms, honed to a certain finesse without losing their strength.
(The man bears a healing crescent shaped gash down the right side of his face. It begins at the hairline and moves just below the eye to end at his chin. Its sutures are recently removed.)
Personality: For all of his life he has been subservient to the codes of honor that form the backbone of Valardin. He is soft spoken and kind whilst he keeps a strong-as-steel pride into his every action. Some would say his authoritative voice was off-putting, but oft it would carry smooth words and reassuring promises to its intended listener. Patience and quiet reverence are two words that may describe him best.
Background: Daemon Dracone was born into a Knightly retainer family of the Oathlands. From a young age he was made to follow in his own ancestor's footsteps to walk the path of a Knight, swearing to codes of honors and learning the way of sword and horse-riding. Several years were spent with his nose buried in textbooks of etiquette and training with sword and shield all the while. Never a moment of his childhood was spent with play, always in practice and martial training. One might think that such ardous childhood would lead to a rather hard and cynical child, but by some anomaly the opposite became true. Daemon was a bright and happy child even through the demands of his family's desire to hone him into another proud and rigorous member of their ilk. He performed with flying colors without a single complaint. Some still believe he might just be holding it all in for one disastrous meltdown.
For some years the rumor of the Dracone's extinction began to build in the circles they frequented. After his father's disappearance, Daemon set off on a voyage away from Arvum and before long the letters stopped coming in. It didn't exactly make a large splash in the history books though, they'd always been minor and unlanded with their most significant feature being their loyalty to Valardin. But then one day, Daemon resurfaced on board a merchant ship that had settled into Arx's harbor. His disappearance having been a quest to find where his family had disappeared to, a quest that he had failed at. It's a burden he freely admits is his deepest regret, the one stain he'd never be able to repeal from his duties.
|Aella||A rather handsome knight from the Oathlands, prim and proper, and yet he knows how to laugh and have a good time. I look forward to his backside being on the line again, perhaps he might give me chance to put it there sometime.|
|Aiden||A knight sworn to Valardin, with all his fingers and toes intact, who was given a welcoming party by his fealty, known now by name across the city. He is a man who down plays his valor even though that is the essence of knighthood, and is self proclaimed to wear rose-tinted glasses, and noticeably drinks some wyrmguard chocolate spiced hot cocoa while wielding a rubicund sword that reads: Oath by blood, never forgotten - that likes to flex his muscles and make pretty faces. Fun guy!|
|Alarissa||Typical Valardin Knight, right down to the bow. Lovely name and lovelier manners. In need of a dog.|
|Arianna||He is a great fighter and knows how to handle himself in combat. As if that weren't enough, he is eloquent, reserved and possesses marvelous decorum. It's good to see you again after all these years and still, every now and then my heart skips a beat at such beauty.|
|Clara||I really... hardly... remember. He seemed nice but I was drunk. Everythin' was lovely. Ask me again after I talk ta him sober.|
|Clover||Humorous, charismatic, eager to use his blade even if he says otherwise. Clover's first meeting was interrupted so she had little to go on just yet.|
|Cristoph||I had the pleasure of meeting Sir Dracone at my wedding reception of all places! He was a gentleman and a pleasure to exchange introductions with. When I attend his party thrown by Countess Reigna it will make things all the smoother.|
|Fiachra||I... can't decide if he is actually that innocent and pure, or if he's trolling us all in the same way that Edain does. Either way, a scholarly knight is certainly an interesting combination, and he's good in a fight when he isn't charging an enemy that outnumbers him twenty-five to one.|
|Mira||*Very* lovely armor. He was the center of a chaotic storm of people, and he took time to speak to *me*. Even if he mistook me for a noble, that still means a lot.|
|Petal||He is a knight without a house or a house that is lost. He seems like a kind man and like he could use some help to get started.|
|Reese||It seems like it is good timing that he is here now. He seems like an honorable Oathlands Knight.|
|Sabella||Gracious, polite and humble all creates a curious fascination of him. There is more to the eye than appears despite his appearance.|
|Saedrus||A chance encounter at the Queensrest brought this gentle young Knight to my attention -- and his lovely hound. Sir Daemon is, I think, a refreshing example of Oathland knight; he is lovely company, armour and all. A fine mix of charm, unique modesty and intrigue.|
|Silas||Fellow knight of common origin and chocolate lover. This is promising.|
|Thena||The very model of a Valardin knight, gracious, cheerful and clanky.| | <urn:uuid:62bbbf79-5d27-4179-8004-70f89efcc1f6> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://play.arxmush.org/character/sheet/27440/ | 2017-11-18T17:47:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805008.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118171235-20171118191235-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.977492 | 1,394 | [

CAPED CRUSADER: Meryl Streep's Sister Aloysius makes it her business to bedevil Philip Seymour Hoffman's Father Brendan in 'Doubt.'
By Richard von Busack
Juicy" is the word for Doubt, though it's about as deep as a holy-water font. The film evokes the world of old parochial-school Catholicism of 1964, in the form of a turbulent Bronx that seems as remote as Buffalo. Director and writer John Patrick Shanley goes full gothic: storms cascading through, crows cawing on a fire escape and light bulbs that blow out because of the tension in the room. The high school with its attached convent leaks. The rain blows in. It's a classic old dark house.
The nuns do the teaching and the disciplining. Shanley makes the contrast between them and the real power at the school like something out of Potemkin. The sisters (most of them half-senile or going blind) eat dismal suppers of succotash and grisly meat, while the priest and his superiors guzzle Seagram's and feast on barely roasted beef, as gory as road kill.
Shanley has the confidence to play Doubt for the Sturm und Drang, as the setting for a grand diva part. The diva gets to say things like "It's my job to outshine the fox in cleverness." Meryl Streep's foxy Sister Aloysius is a flawed, sometimes fanatically eccentric detective. She can't quite nail down her case on anything more than circumstantial evidence. She believes that she is holding the line for the old virtues: opposing cough drops ("candy by another name"), ballpoint pens (a terrible invention that destroys penmanship) and the tune "Frosty the Snowman" (it's occult).
Aloysius suspects the priest of taking a too-close interest in Donald (Joseph Foster), the school's only black student. The elder nun is helped in her detective work by Sister James (Amy Adams), an innocent sidekick.
Father Brendan is a popular, modern and friar-plump priest. He is played by Philip Seymour Hoffman with a Peter Lorre–worthy blend of the childlike and the sinister.
The acting is theatrically grand. Streep tears into the material, and Hoffman shivers the timbers with his voice during a parable about gossip. He uses an Irish accent that, at first, seems to be comic. Then it takes an about-face into roaring seriousness. It's the kind of acting you feel in your spine instead of your brain. Later, though, it seemed that Brendan is a part that would have been better in the hands of someone sneakier. James Cromwell comes to mind. Longtime Hoffman watchers wouldn't have trouble suspecting one of his characters of pedophilia. The subject of the story is doubt, and Hoffman doesn't inspire that; he's played the bottled-up pervert so many times that we can't take his friendliness at face value.
This showcase for old-fashioned, wall-rattling thespianship works on our horror of the priestly molestation scandals, and the cover-ups that followed. Naturally Doubt deplores these betrayals. But it also deplores witch-hunting. It's not what you could call controversial.
Viola Davis co-stars as the boy's mother, who is doing her best trying to play off the stacked deck handed to her. In the kind of mystery Doubt is modeled upon, Davis' Mrs. Miller would have played her big scene in the courtroom. The conversational rhythms between Davis and Streep play just like the climax of a courtroom drama, with ever shorter and more staccato sentences bouncing off each other, leading to the climax, the high note and the outburst of weeping. Fine silver tears roll down Davis' face as she tries to remind this arch-Catholic dragon Sister Aloysius of the humanist creed: everyone has his reasons. For this moment, this movie gets a little bigger than what it is: a ripping entertainment for the art-house crowd.

Need an idea for a last minute homemade gift? Are you all out of ideas, money and time? Well look no further, this pumpkin butter is really easy to make and it is a creative homemade gift that costs nearly nothing per person. Plus, it’ a gift that’s out of the norm, like a typical plate of cookies.
Pumpkin butter is like jelly so use it on toast or english muffins for breakfast. I also recommend using it to cook chicken. You can take about a half cup of it and spread it over your chicken before baking, or chop up some onions, carrots and leeks, add it to the pumpkin butter and use that as a topping for your chicken.
It’s funny, I actually came up with gift idea because I was forced to. I bought all the ingredients I needed to make these really good lime and ginger sugar cookies and I go to preheat the oven and OOPS!… the oven broke. My landlord said the oven was 22 years old and it can’t be fixed! I won’t be getting a replacement for another 2 weeks! UGH I was devastated! So I frantically searched the web for an alternative homemade gift idea for my coworkers and friends. I came across this recipe for pumpkin butter on a blog called Closet Cooking and gave it a go. I tripled the original recipe and made enough for 7 gifts!
So a pack of 8 Pyrex jars cost $20, the 2 cans of pumpkin puree cost about $6, the apple cider and sugar cost about $4. Total cost per gift: $4.28! Now that is great!
This recipe makes 7 cups, perfect for 7, 1-cup jars
- 6 Cups pumpkin puree
- 3 Cups brown sugar
- 1 and 1/2 Cups apple cider
- 3/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
- 3/4 Teaspoon cloves
- 7, 1-Cup glass jars for gift-giving
- Combine everything in a pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickens up – about 1 hour.
Tip: (I learned this the hard way) Make sure you place a lid on the pot when you start to heat it. I was casually washing dishes and all of a sudden exploding spurts of lava-hot pumpkin butter came flying at me and my entire kitchen! It boiled with big, exploding bubbles for about 10-15 minutes, then when it reached the right temperature it continued to simmer nicely.
This pumpkin butter is so yummy, I think I will just cut this recipe in half and make it for myself sometime soon. | <urn:uuid:edaeaccf-6a55-4204-bb72-5ba30b23ec43> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://healthyfortwo.com/2012/12/pumpkin-butter-great-gift-idea/ | 2017-11-19T12:24:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805578.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119115102-20171119135102-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.923555 | 553 | [

Mosquito Shield Program
According to the CDC mosquitoes can carry and spread diseases such as West Nile Virus, Chikungunya, Encephalitis, dengue, ZIKA and more. For ticks its Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The reality is the list of diseases keeps getting longer and longer. Our Mosquito Shield Program is designed to eliminate mosquitoes and ticks currently living in your yard and and acts as a repellent for future pest infestations from occurring. Find out more about our pest control services!
The Legacy Way
At Legacy we pride ourselves on using only the highest quality products and providing both homeowners and business owners with outstanding customer service. When you choose Legacy Lawn Care’s Mosquito Shield Program, our expert technicians will implement a comprehensive 5 step program to provide you with just that!
Step 1. Inspection
Our team will inspect your property for any areas or objects that are likely to
hold water for more than four days. Some species will place their eggs in areas
that are likely to get flooded periodically like natural depressions, seasonal wetlands, drainage ditches and other low lying areas.
Step 2. Reduce Breeding Sites
Wherever possible, breeding sites should be eliminated. Active areas will help identify, and in some cases, help eliminate breeding sites.
Step 3. Larval Control
Our team will selectively place products that interfere with the development of the aquatic life stages of the mosquito. These products are placed in areas that are either holding water or will likely hold water after a rain. They are not harmful to fish, waterfowl, pets or humans when used according to label directions.
Step 4. Adult Mosquito Control
Mosquitoes prefer to rest in protected sites during the day. Yards with lots of trees, shrubs and dense vegetation or properties adjoining such areas, can have mosquito problems. We use a fogger to apply targeted amounts of insecticide to areas that are known to harbor adult mosquitos during the day. The product we use has an industry leading residual that keeps adult mosquitoes suppressed for up to 30 days.
Step 5. Communication
Our Team will communicate with you personally to let you know what we did to eliminate present problem areas and prevent future breeding grounds from developing.
Our Program runs March-October averaging 7 applications per year. Call Today for 1st time treatment of $39.99
We also offer
One-time sprays designed to protect your home, or business from these nuisance pests before a special event like a wedding, birthday party, family reunion, cook out etc. Don’t let mosquito bites or tick bites ruin your big event!
Most people never realize they’ve had or been bitten by a tick. That’s why it’s important to protect your family and pets. We will reduce the appearance of ticks on your property. Our program includes:
- Tick Prevention & Control: Having the proper treatments in place can reduce the possibility of having ticks in your yard.
- Tick Maintenance: Regular reapplication of treatments can prevent the reappearance of ticks on your property.
Our technicians will share strategies you can use to make your landscaping less appealing to pests. Everything from the height you mow your lawn to making sure that standing water is removed and gutters are cleaned. Our Mosquito Shield and Tick Control Services are always backed by our Legacy Guarantee. If you are ever less than 100% satisfied, we’ll come back and reapply the treatment or refund the cost of your last service.
Mosquito Life Cycle
EGGS– Some types lay eggs in standing water and some in damp soil flooded by water. Most hatch within 48 hours.
LARVAE– Mosquito larvae shed their skin 4 times and develop in 3 to 7 days. The warmer the weather, the quicker they hatch.
PUPAE– They develop in 1 to 2 days before hatching into adults.
ADULTS– New adults briefly rest on the water’s surface since their wings have to spread out and dry before they can fly. Females can lay up to 150 eggs at one time and can live from 2 weeks to 2 months.
What can I do to protect myself and my family?
Eliminate stagnant water in & around your home:
- Once a week, empty and scrub, turn over, cover or throw out items that hold water, such as old tires, buckets, planters, toys, pools, birdbaths, flowerpots, trash containers, etc. Make sure to check inside and outside your home to ensure your not creating any breeding grounds for these unwanted pests.
- Tightly cover water storage containers (buckets, cisterns, rain barrels) so that mosquitoes cannot get inside to lay eggs.
- For containers without lids, use wire mesh without holes smaller than an adult mosquito.
- If you have a septic tank, follow these steps:
- Repair cracks or gaps.
- Cover open vents or plumbing pipes. Use wire mesh smaller than a adult mosquito.
Keep mosquitoes out of your home:
- Use screened windows and doors.
- Repair holes in screens.
- Use air conditioning when available.
- There are more than 60 different varieties of mosquitoes in the state of Georgia. Let us help you make that ZERO around your property! | <urn:uuid:f8de162f-a6c9-477f-a3db-8f296a04e5d5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://legacylawncarega.com/lawn-care-programs/mosquitoes/ | 2017-11-22T16:24:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806615.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122160645-20171122180645-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.929708 | 1,100 | [

I love weekends with my family. This weekend has been an excellent weekend in terms of recharging the batteries. We've been clearing out space for Whiteybare which required moving much of Little Guy's stuff into his room. We moved his car table which holds his collection of Hot wheels and his train set into his bedroom. We also moved the TV and PS2 into his bedroom. I'm feeling kind of torn about that one.
On the one hand, we are now one of "those" parents. The ones whose four-year-old has a TV and PS2 in his bedroom. On the other hand, this effectively limits what he can watch. When the TV was in the front room, it was hooked up to cable and Little Guy discovered Cartoon Network. I wasn't too thrilled with him watching it since I prefer that he watch good programming. I became even less pleased when this new programming he had discovered led to him actually punching people and laughing about it. That was a swift trip to no TV for a while. However, now that he has the TV in his room, it's not connected to the cable and I know exactly what he can watch.
But moving the rooms around wasn't the only thing we did this weekend. We also picked up our Mosin Nagant rifle from the gun store. Big Guy and I spent the evening yesterday cleaning it off, wiping it down, and learning how it works. It's a beautiful bolt-action rifle that we've polished and cleaned up nicely. We're looking forward to target practice out at my mom's place and maybe even hunting. We were talking about how great it would be to have a Thanksgiving turkey that we just caught ourselves. Yum! Needless to say, it was pretty cool getting a gun made in the 1930's all cleaned up. Big Guy and I Were talking about how cool it would be to find out the history of our gun in particular, but I wouldn't even know where to begin.
This morning we woke up too late for "church", so I made coffee and waffles instead. I added powdered sugar and vanilla and made a large batch of waffles. Little Guy ate about 5 waffles and Big Guy and I decided we could not find better waffles even in a pancake place. I put the pack of uneaten waffles in a ziplock bag in the freezer. It will make a great breakfast throughout the week. This evening, I even dug out an old jar of strawberry jam that hadn't set to use in bread.
We got a breadmaker off of Cheapcycle for $25 and have definitely gotten our money's worth. We've made loaf upon loaf of bread, spending only the money needed for the flour and the sugar. It's been working out extremely well. Currently, I have the batch of bread with strawberry jam in the breadmaker in an effort to produce a good breakfast bread. This will leave our day-to-day bread free for sandwiches and give us a good, hearty fruit bread for breakfast. I have plans for cherry bread and perhaps even berry bread. | <urn:uuid:9c9e7557-cb32-477c-bfc2-7e00428f0b29> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://kraftykittencaboodle.blogspot.com/2010/04/weekends-end-with-guns-and-bread.html | 2017-11-24T23:53:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809160.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124234011-20171125014011-00280.warc.gz | en | 0.987845 | 630 | [

Retirement Blueprints – What’s Your Game Plan?
If you think retirement planning is about income – you’re right.
If you think that is not a complex question – you’re wrong. The ceiling of complexity can be confounding.
Are you thinking about retirement? Do you have a sense of what opportunities and landmines await? Who is determining and explaining your risks? Counting on an inheritance? Estate tax problems could eliminate the money. Does your FA know what Q to ask? Complexity of retirement rules – IRAs subject to income and estate tax.
An informed decision is the key to your retirement distribution questions:
Question #1: What amount of income will I have using sound growth and withdrawal percentages. If that income produced is inadequate to live on or if I have to take out too much so it will not last me my life time – what are my planning options?:
Questions #2: What will really happen to my investments in early, mid and late retirement? Consideration of various types of markets in early retirement and their effect on asset retention
Question #3: What do I need to know about retirement distributions:
Post retirement investment portfolios
Many people – and even many planners – do not realize that the distributions you choose to take and the types of investments you take them from can make a big difference in the security of your retirement income.
Most people underestimate how long they will need their assets
How much is your retirement going to cost?
How much of your retirement did you buy this year?
How much of your retirement did you spend this year?
One thing about retirement that is for sure is – economic conditions will have an impact that you just have to see as you go.
If you did retirement planning before the market drops of 2000-2002, it’s time for an update. Retirees who kept their withdrawals below 4% are probably OK. If you were counting on a distribution stream of 5 or 6 or 7% - you could be in trouble.
Let’s take a closer look at Question #1 from yesterday. What amount of income will I have using sound growth and withdrawal percentages? If that income produced is inadequate to live on or if I would have to take out too much so it will not last me my life-time – what are my other planning options?:
Some other questions that pop up when retirement income is not adequate are:
Everyone who retired in the late 90’s or early this century has had their retirement impacted on by the market drops.
Let’s take a closer look at Questions #2 from Monday. What will really happen to my investments in early, mid and late retirement?
If your retirement income analysis predicted an 8% increase in your portfolio – and it actually dropped by 40% - now what?
The consideration of various types of markets in early retirement and their effect on your future asset retention is a critical analysis for you right now.
Even if your portfolio didn’t drop – it just maintained itself – there’s an impact. What about the market recover in the last half of 2003? From portfolios I’ve reviewed recently, people had returns anywhere from 4% in bonds to 20% in large caps to 40% in a properly diversified portfolios with good money managers. Recently the market headed down again – for no discernable reason except profit taking and investor psychology far as I can see. I you breathed a sign of relief when the market turned last year – and decided to continue procrastination by not having a competent advisor review your portfolio and get you into the right asset mix and money managers – what are you waiting for? Another down market?
Here’s one of my favorite strategies to stretch your retirement assets. I’m not talking about reducing spending – although that’s a great thing to do if you can without impacting on your quality of life. I’m talking about split funding your retirement. Taking a 5 or 7 or 10 year payout so other assets can be left to grow, guaranteed growth on some of the money (6%), working budget to match the three stages of retirement and assessing what your family history indicates your retirement will be like.
How about different planning for phases of retirement – there are two ways of looking at it – lifestyle and IRS rules relating to IRA distributions.
Active to 75 - Transition 75-85 - Passive 85 and beyond
Pre-required IRA distributions up to 70 – Partial Distributions to about 80 – High distributions requiring reinvestment for future years 80 and beyond.
Planning is very different for each stage.
How many different investment classes are there – and which ones are right for a retiree?
Post retirement investment portfolios – what should they include? If you don’t know the answer to that question, you’re in trouble already. This is a test and failure could result in a very skimpy retirement lifestyle.
Do you understand withdrawal rates and conservation strategies? If you portfolio drops, does your advisor have to call you to suggest a temporary hiatus on spending or are you already aware of that?
Most people underestimate how long they will need their assets. The stakes are high. The ceiling of complexity gets worse in retirement. Maybe the stakes too high to do it alone? What does your family history suggest will happen to you in retirement? Good health until death? Longevity? How old were you grandparents? You parents – they’re still here? Great! The older they get the better for you. How do you eat compared to your elders? Do you cook fresh or eat preservatives every day? You can’t age like the Hunzas if you don’t find out what the right eating plan is for you. I’m not suggesting yogurt. Modern yogurt really isn’t good for anyone.
Get some real health advice, get some real financial advice.
As someone said to me recently, you’d think people would want good advice but they stick their head in the sand - it’s their money, it’s their future.
Do yourself a favor – get a financial advisor who knows what they’re doing. If you’re not sure about yours – pay someone for a second opinion. Hire someone with credentials. Hire someone with experience. Learn what they ask you to learn. Read what they ask you to read. Eat the elephant one bite at a time. Your future could depend on it.
Are you counting on an inheritance for your retirement?
I had an interesting case a few months ago. A man with some assets – inherited – but who saves absolutely nothing on his own. He’s 50 and wondering how retirement will look. Because he is self-employed, there is no pension plan and only moderate social security.
He’s really counting on an inheritance from his dad. Dad has sonny’s name on an account that is currently worth about two million dollars. Sound like that should work, right? Dad is 80 and comes from a line of people that live to their 90s and beyond. He owns a business and pulls down close to a million dollars a year. As I dug into the facts behind the obvious, I found the business buyout agreement would not set a solid value for IRS estate tax purposes. The buy-out amount was set too low and did not have an annual review escalation clause in it. If, instead of the 1 million dollar value that dad placed on the business, the IRS comes in and values it at 10,000,000 – what will happen? Unless dad dies in 2010 – and they have not changed the estate tax laws – the higher business valuation will suck all the cash out of the estate – including sonny’s 2 million.
Could the situation be changed? Sure, but dad doesn’t want to talk about it. He thinks everything will be OK. Or maybe he doesn’t really care, since he won’t be here. So should sonny count on that inheritance for his retirement planning?
This is the same situation that exists when parents don’t do any long-term care planning. Don’t count your retirement chickens before they’re hatched.
Make an informed decision:
If your assets won’t fully support your retirement to age 100 – then what?
Are you willing to come to grips with reality?

Founder and CEO of Bitcoin vendor breached
CUNA’s CULedger is a pilot research-to-action initiative that is investigating the viability and risks of a private, permissioned distributed ledger (DLT). As Bitcoin technology becomes more accessible to consumers, hackers are becoming more interested and creative.
Last week, KeepKey, a vendor of Bitcoin hardware wallets, notified users of a security breach that inadvertently exposed some of its customers’ details. According to Darin Stanchfield, KeepKey founder and CEO, the attack took place on Christmas Day, when an unknown attacker activated a new phone number with Stanchfield’s Verizon account.
This allowed the attacker to request a password reset for his Verizon email account, but receive the password reset details on the newly activated phone number. A few minutes later, the attacker had accessed Stanchfield’s email account and proceeded to request password resets for several services where the KeepKey founder had used that email address to register profiles.
In no time, the attacker had taken over several of Stanchfield’s accounts on other sites, such as KeepKey’s official Twitter account, and several of KeepKey’s side services, such as accounts for sales distribution channels and email marketing software. In less than an hour after the attack started, Stanchfield discovered the breach and started working with his staff to regain access to the hijacked accounts, while also blocking the intruder from hacking into others.

50th Birthday Trip Ideas (with Pictures)Trip Bible college is a good place to show kids concerning the Bible and draw them closer to God. There are several completely different ideas for vacation Bible faculty, and one will be as artistic as one needs. The kind of vacation you are taking to your 50th birthday will seemingly depend upon the actions you take pleasure in, want to attempt, and who's going with you. Plan a surprise trip to New York City for your mom who's always wanted to go see a Broadway play, but never quite made it. Hawaii tops lots of trip lists with its active volcanoes, lush tropical forests, legendary surfing beaches and postcard views.
Furthermore, the vacation Bible school crafts planned should be linked to various vacation Bible school classes. There are various ideas for vacation Bible faculty that one can undertake and implement. The story of the burning bush, Moses' encounter with God, and the ten commandments are fashionable cool vacation spots vacation Bible school tales. Besides the above craft exercise, there are various other vacation Bible story crafts that one can implement. Older kids which might be already grown may shock or contribute to the holiday expenses.
An all-girl trip might include a elaborate resort offering luxurious spa treatments, while an all-guy getaway may consist of sporting occasions, a world-class golf course, or excessive actions including mountain climbing, filth bikes, or no matter your passion is. In fact, none of those ideas are gender particular, that means ladies can golf and males can get pleasure from a day at the spa if they need.
Whether or not you choose the archipelago or the peninsula, you will see vigorous stretches of beachfront, quiet sandy coves, crystal water and loads of solar in Hawaii or Florida. Your vacation affords the chance for some mountain climbing, climbing, boating, and sightseeing. Choose both coast or someplace in the middle for extra points of interest than you could have time for. The Colorado River will be skilled by paddle rafts, motorized rafts, and dories. Iis 186 miles lengthy and has 1,960 miles of shoreline, which is longer than the entire west coast of the continental United States. | <urn:uuid:2be1433d-983b-45f0-a341-6a2e8ef0a6a2> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://wallinside.com/post-55002146-50th-birthday-trip-ideas-with-pictures.html | 2017-11-18T20:41:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805023.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118190229-20171118210229-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.942009 | 447 | [

When the virus of measles attacks the central nervous system the resulting clinical picture has one outstanding characteristic, namely, variability. Results of physical examinations and laboratory tests are so bizarre and inconstant that in respect to them one case has little in common with another, save that all results indicate involvement of the central nervous system. No more specific common denominator is available.
Encephalitis complicating measles has long been known and reported, but in no instance has any considerable series of cases been analyzed by a single observer; consequently, the clinical data have been limited to the observations in small groups of cases. Even terminology has been confused, because the widely varying clinical picture tends to encourage nomenclature descriptive of individual observations. Thus one finds "encephalitis," "encephalomeningitis," "serous meningitis," "paraplegia," "meningoencephalitis" and other terms used in case reports. Because the term encephalitis seems best fitted to the condition in the

One year ago this morning, I was in the passenger seat of our car, headed to the hospital for my laparoscopy.
I was hopeful - hopeful that the surgery would go well, hopeful that it would bring with it a quick and easy recovery, and hopeful that it would eventually lead way to a successful pregnancy.
For the most part, those hopes came true.
But for the one that didn't, I have to wonder if things were meant to be the way they are now. If things had happened according to my hopes, I wouldn't be as involved with RESOLVE as I am now. I wouldn't be in graduate school. I wouldn't have been able to quit a job that made me so unhappy.
We wouldn't be adopting.
I joked this week in my exhausted and delirious state that, "Infertility builds character." Only it wasn't a joke. It's true. The past year - the surgery, the failing, the break, and the decision - all of those things built character. They put us on the right path. Even though it still hurts, and the wound is still so fresh, I know that saying good-bye to my fertility will help me forward. I have a daily reminder of it: the pain. While one year brought us this far in our journey to have a baby, it hasn't taken me far on the journey to regain my health.
That's not what I'm going to think about today.
Instead, I'm going to think about the hope I felt on that cool, February morning, and that same hope I'll feel walking out the door this morning. It's the hope that we are making the right decision. It's the hope that we will someday get what we've worked so hard for. It's the hope that our baby is out there somewhere, and that we are doing everything in our power to bring him or her home to us. | <urn:uuid:55e022ba-a48d-48ba-a363-dc4824bb8b07> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.fromiftowhen.com/2011/02/reflections-on-one-year.html | 2017-11-19T14:04:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805649.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119134146-20171119154146-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.990154 | 396 | [

Amidst all the discussion about the Nintendo Switch and its form factor, price and launch date, Nintendo dropped some details concerning The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
A shot of the cartridge itself went by during the Treehouse stream this morning, which is what you see above, but even more info comes from Nintendo of Japan’s spec page. Look at the game’s file size listed in the screenshot below.
On the Wii U, Breath of the Wild will be a 13GB file. On the Nintendo Switch, Breath of the Wild will be a 13.4 GB download. Perhaps the nearly half-gig differences comes from better textures? Better pre-rendered cutscenes? It’s hard to say.
We’ll have more on Zelda as it comes. The game was confirmed to launch alongside the Nintendo Switch on March 3, 2017. | <urn:uuid:72f5af8c-4a72-47c8-9d31-9878e25cb7b1> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.technobuffalo.com/2017/01/13/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-file-size-switch-wii-u/ | 2017-11-20T09:39:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805977.0/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120090419-20171120110419-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.925441 | 180 | [

History of Harris Tweed
*The following article is published here by kind permission of Angus MacLeod Archive
It is generally accepted that Clò-Mòr was first referred to as Harris Tweed when the Countess of Dunmore, whose family were the proprietors of the North Harris Estate, took an interest in the cloth about 1840. Harris Tweed would probably never have come to the notice of the general public, was it not for the philanthropic work of a number of persons and agencies, mainly before, but also after the end of the 19th century.
Prominent among these were Lord and Lady Dunmore, Mrs Thomas, Mrs Mary Stewart Mackenzie of Seaforth, Lady Gorash Cathcart, Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland, Mrs Platt of Eishken, Scottish Home Industries Association, Highland Home Industries, the Crofters Agency and others.
The activities of these and other people on behalf of the cottage industry were motivated by considerations other than personal profit. It is obvious that the main consideration was social and economic, the welfare of the ordinary people of the Outer Hebrides. It was an industry of the people, for the people, and in this respect was unique.
Thus we see that the Harris Tweed Industry was originally a cottage industry, producing an article made entirely by hand.
The product was marketed as a result of the activities of the individuals and agencies mentioned above and this was done from the middle of the 19th century, and by the turn of the century Harris Tweed had gained for itself a very good reputation. The cloth was attracting attention for its characteristics and good quality, and therefore it was able to create its own market on its own merits.
It was during this early period the fabric earned for itself the good reputation and name that established Harris Tweed as a cloth of quality and distinction. Commercial interests were not slow to appreciate the potential value of the good will and the name ‘Harris Tweed’.
Power woven imitation Harris Tweed began to appear in the British market by the end of the 19th century and the practise eventually spread to the European continent and even as far afield as Japan.
Orb trade mark
The necessity for a protective Trade Mark was appreciated early in the 20th century. Eventually the Harris Tweed Association Ltd was formed in 1909 and subsequently the Orb definition Trade Mark was registered in 1910. The Orb Trade Mark was of course originally confined, by its definition, to the article made entirely by hand.
By this time, that is during the first decade of the 20th century, crofters sometimes sent their wool to the mainland woollen mills to be carded for them and soon the crofters wool was both carded and spun on the mainland and the resulting yarn was woven by the Islanders on their hand looms and marketed as Harris Tweed.
Island carding mills
Very early in the 20th century carding mills were set up both in Lewis and in Harris. Hand carding was a tedious and time consuming work and it was felt that the setting up of carding mills would help the producers and enable them to increase their production.
In the case of Lewis mill carding was followed by mill spinning by the end of the first decade of the 20th century. To begin with however, these mill processes were established in order to supply the demand from crofters and small producers for carded wool, and later for mill spun yarn for the production of Harris Tweed as well as yarn for the weaving of blankets for domestic use.
The Lewis mills soon realised they could manufacture Harris Tweed as well as spin yarn for the islanders and so the Lewis spinners began to make Harris Tweed on their own account during the second decade of the 20th century. It was however, after the First World War before the Lewis spinners produced a significant volume of cloth. The bulk of the cloth produced before 1920 was still produced by the crofters and small producers.
Mill buying of Harris Tweed
During the early years of the Lewis spinners they engaged to a limited extent in the purchase of Harris Tweed from the Islanders.
Mainland mill spun yarn
Mill spun yarn was first introduced into the Harris Tweed Industry from the mainland and by 1920 a large volume of mainland spun yarn was imported into the Islands. Tweed made from this yarn was marketed under various names such as ‘Lewis Tweed’, ‘Home Spun Tweed’, ‘Harris Tweed’ etc. Generally speaking experience showed that it was easier to sell under the name of Harris Tweed and so most of the imported mainland yarn was marketed under the name ‘Harris Tweed’.
Historic use of the term Harris Tweed
Historically therefore, the term ‘Harris Tweed’ was applied to tweed made entirely by hand in the Outer Hebrides and this article was protected by the Orb Trade Mark from 1911 onwards. The term Harris Tweed was also freely and generally applied to tweed made from mill spun yarn produced either in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland or mainland Scotland. There was one common feature to all cloth sold as Harris Tweed and that was that it was hand woven and, with the exception of Shield Harris Tweed all of it was hand woven at the islanders’ own homes.
Period 1914 / 1934
During the period of approximately 20 years prior to the amending of the definition of the Orb Trade Mark in 1934, almost all the Harris Tweed manufactured was made from mill spun yarn and a very large proportion was made from mainland spun yarn. It is felt that a reasonable estimate of the mill spun yarn used at this time may be 50%. Almost, if not all, the producers of Harris Tweed that came into prominence after the amending of the Orb definition in 1934 had used mainland yarn; indeed I think it is only one spinner/manufacturer that did not to a large extent build his original Harris Tweed manufacturing business on mainland spun yarn.
The 1934 ‘Orb’ amendment
By the early 1930s the Hebridean spinners had grown into a powerful force and they were no longer content with the use of the term Harris Tweed, they now felt they should have the use of the Orb Trade Mark as well and so they commenced an agitation to have the Orb definition changed to allow the use of the Hebridean mill spun yarn. A fierce controversy followed because a large number of small producers and crofters resisted the moves to change the Orb definition in favour of the Hebridean spinners. There were bitter complaints about the restrictive practices of the Hebridean spinners when it came to supplying yarn to their competitors. It was strongly felt that an amendment of the Orb definition in favour of Hebridean mill spun yarn would prejudice the use of mainland mill spun yarn because cloth made from such yarn would not be eligible for the Orb Trade Mark. The small producers and crofters would be at the mercy of the Hebridean spinners and few of them doubted the ultimate result of such dependence on commission spinners who were also their competitors in the marketing of cloth.
The Hebridean spinners were able to put forward a powerful lobby and a united front, whereas the non-spinner producers were divided in their approach and lacked unity and leadership.
In 1934 the Board of Trade granted an amendment to the definition attached to the Orb Trade Mark, allowing the application of the Trade Mark to cloth made from Hebridean mill spun yarn.
In reality, mainland mill spun yarn had an equal, if not better claim to qualify for the Orb Trade Mark. Furthermore the 1934 Orb amendment created a situation of privilege and a perfect opportunity for the practice of unfair restrictions by the Hebridean spinners against those producers of Harris Tweed who depended on them for their supply of yarn at a price that would enable them to compete with the spinner/manufacturers in world markets.
The 1934 Orb amendment was not realistic because it did not take account of the plain facts of the situation and I maintain the consequences of the amendment were detrimental to the industry and to the best interests of the community in the long run.
The Hebridean spinners did practice unfair restrictions against their yarn customers as can be ascertained from the testimony of many small producers. Also the best interests of the buying public were not served by the commercially restrictive conditions created by the amendment which gave a few spinners a monopoly in the essential raw material necessary for the production of Harris Tweed that would qualify for the protective Trade Mark originally granted to the crofters and small producers.
Claim of mainland to the ‘Orb’
The natural growth of the Harris Tweed Industry after 1934 was stifled because the historical claim of mainland yarn to recognition and inclusion within the amended definition of the Orb in 1934 was not recognised.
The admission of mainland yarn to qualify for the Orb would not have created any threat to the continuity of the industry in the Scottish Hebrides exclusively, and it would not have created any difficulty in the administration of the Orb Trade Mark.
It would be just as easy for the H.T.A. to control the wool content of Orb Harris yarn spun on the mainland as it was for yarn spun in the Hebrides.
No one would go to the trouble to bring yarn from the mainland if yarn of similar quality and price could be bought on the Islands. Therefore the local spinners would have the incentive to supply the demand for yarn. I maintain they had the capacity to produce, at all times, far in excess of their production at any given point in time.
No manufacturer from the mainland could embark on the production of Harris Tweed without first taking his yarn to the Islands where the hand weaving process had to be carried out at the Islanders homes. In that way the essential processes in the manufacture of Harris Tweed had to be carried out in the Islands and more employment created for the weavers.
The small producer element in the industry would have been free from the unfair restrictions of the Hebridean spinners.
It is therefore reasonable to conclude that the growth of the industry would have been faster and greater, and that the industry would have provided a much higher degree of employment over the years.
It is an undisputed fact that the demand for Harris Tweed was far in excess of the supply in both home and export markets during a large part of the time following the 1934 Orb amendment.
As proof of this fact, one can point to the large volume of Harris Tweed supplied to the market by the shield growth of manufacturers on the mainland of Scotland.
No damage was done to the Harris Tweed industry by the activities of the mainland Shield growth. On the contrary the Shield growth made a valuable contribution to the economy of the Hebrides by providing work for weavers at a time when the weaving force was grossly under employed.
Had mainland yarn been available under the 1934 Orb amended definition, it is reasonable to assume that many of the small producers who were already in business on a fairly large scale would have prospered. Also it is reasonable to assume that small producers from other parts of the Hebrides might well have engaged in the manufacture of Harris Tweed on a larger scale, thus creating work for the grossly under-employed weaving force, many of whom were forced to leave the Islands in search of work. In the early 1930s it was estimated that the existing Hebridean mills, spinning to full capacity would have a yarn output, probably sufficient to produce about 600,000 yards of tweed a year.
At the same time it was estimated that the probable weight of yarn imported into the Islands in the early 1930s was between 500,000 and 600,000 yards per year, or sufficient to produce an equal quantity of tweed to that produced from Island spun yarn.
Over the years the cost of Hebridean spun yarn was invariably higher than similar yarn imported from mainland mills and very often the quality of mainland yarn was superior.
In the 1950s and 1960s the mainland Shield competition sold their Harris Tweed 2s/- below the Orb cloth yet at that very time the small producers were being squeezed out of the Orb industry because of the high price of Orb yarn.
Mainland yarn used after 1934
Mainland yarn continued to come into the Islands after 1934 in a substantial volume despite the disadvantage it was now under compared with the similar Hebridean mill spun yarn. Even as late as 1961, almost 30 years after the 1934 amendment, Mr H. A. Moisley of Glasgow University writing in his book ‘Harris Tweed – A Growing Highland Industry’ shows that 16% of all the Harris Tweed sold at that time (including Shield Harris Tweed) was made from mainland mill spun yarn. It is not difficult to imagine that the volume of cloth made from mainland yarn and sold as Harris Tweed would have been a great deal higher over the years had this side of the industry enjoyed the undoubted advantage of the Orb Trade mark and the encouragement of the Harris Tweed Association Ltd.
The market potential for Harris Tweed during the 30 to 40 years following the amending of the definition of the Orb Trade Mark in 1934 was never realised and that was proved by the substantial foothold gained by the mainland Shield producers in the 1950s and 60s.
It is a well known fact that Hebridean weavers were seriously under-employed during the whole of the history of the Harris Tweed industry, and it therefore follows that the degree of control conferred on the Hebridean spinners, over the industry, by the 1934 Orb amendment was not in the best interests of the Hebridean weavers.
New features of the 1934 Orb definition
The original definition attached to the Orb Trade Mark was as follows, ‘Harris Tweed’ means a tweed, hand spun, hand woven, dyed and finished by hand in the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist, Barra and their several pertinences and all known as the Outer Hebrides.
The 1934 amended definition is as follows:
‘Harris Tweed’ means a tweed made from pure virgin wool produced in Scotland, spun, dyed, and finished in the Outer Hebrides and Hand-woven by the Islanders at their own homes in the Islands of Lewis, Harris, Uist, Barra and their several pertinences, and all known as the Outer Hebrides.’
The new features introduced into the definition were:
Allow Hebridean mill spun yarn.
Limit the industry to use pure virgin wool produced in Scotland.
Allow mill finishing.
Confine the weaving to hand weaving by the Islanders at their own homes.
Restrictive features of the 1934 definition
The two restrictive features of the new definition were the rejection of mainland spun yarn and confining the product to the use of Scottish produced wool. Although there was no dispute about the Scottish wool clause at the time, it stands to reason that there is a limit as to the weight of wool produced in Scotland and if ever that product fell far short of the demand the natural outcome would be that competition would force up the price of Scottish wool and possibly cause Harris Tweed to be less competitive than it would otherwise be if the industry had access to any suitable pure virgin wool.
Protective feature of the 1934 definition
By 1934 the practice of concentrating the Hattersley hand loom at mill premises had gone a long way. There were even power looms on mill premises but as far as is known there was no effort made to weave Harris Tweed on power looms.
However, the trend was noted and the danger that all manufacturing processes of Harris Tweed would eventually be concentrated on mill premises was recognised, and the clause ‘hand woven by the Islanders in their own homes’ was embodied in the new definition. The looms were dispersed from mill premises and consequently this ensured the diversion of the weaving work throughout the rural parts with consequent economic benefits of very great value to the rural communities. Without the Harris Tweed cottage weaving there would have been undoubtedly a much larger shift of population from the rural areas both to the town of Stornoway and away from the Islands altogether. The social structure and way of life in the Islands would have suffered a great loss without the cottage weaving industry.
Forty years later in the late 1960s and 1970s we find power looms coming back to the Stornoway mills and history repeating itself with an agitation for a further amending of the definition of the Orb Trade Mark and the question is, will the cottage weaving industry at the homes of the Islanders get the same protection in the event of a change in the Orb definition. It is difficult to see how the establishment of weaving factories is consistent with the protection of, or the continuity of the traditional cottage weaving which is the corner stone on which the Harris Tweed Industry was built. It is also difficult to see what is to prevent the weaving of Harris Tweed eventually drifting into the manufacturer’s premises, or premises under his control, as near to him as possible if the protective clause ‘at the Islanders homes’ is removed or qualified in any way.[ends]

Ujjwal Acharya, has an interesting post on whether a blog falls under Nepal’s Press Council’s jurisdiction. This following new developments in the MySansar.com and Chaudhary Group saga.
MySansar.com published a series of blog entries – including one by Om Thapa that was reproduced with permission from a weekly, Janaastha, on Binod Chaudhary. Chaudhary is a noted industrialist leading the Chaudhary Group (CG). The blogs were about alleged tax invading by CG in the light of the action initiated by the Ministry of Finance on tax invasion and fraud by 27 companies. The ministry has not yet named the companies, but the blog claimed CG is one of them.
The blog entries also claimed that CG also ‘forced’ Finance Minister Bharat Mohan Adhikari of actions leading to resignation of finance secretary Rameshwor Khanal. One of the post also criticized mainstream media for publication Chaudhary’s article claiming that the big percentage of the tax that the industrialist claimed to have paid is in fact the taxes collected by people during sales of their products.”
MySansar’s posts on Chaudhary Group, almost all of them were either shared from weekly vernaculars or parts of published records. For instance, this post is based on a published report from human rights activists. This post detailing circumstances surrounding then Finance Secretary’s resignation and alleged involvement of Chaudhary Group is from another online news source.
The Press Council is an autonomous body. Press Council Act of 1992 says it was formed to,
“(a) To make suggestions to His Majesty’s Government by reviewing from time to time the policies relating to journalism and by obtaining suggestions from the concerned quarters.
(b) To enforce a code of conduct for journalism by drawing it up with a view to development healthy journalism.
(c) To make suggestions to Nepal Government for the development of journalism.
(d) To keep an up-to date record concerning the circulation of paper.
(e) To take necessary actions, upon receipt of any complaint by the Council, as to any news item published in any paper.
(f) To submit an annual report to His Majesty’s Government on the studies and evaluation carried out on the activities and prevailing situation of papers, and
(g) To carry out inquiries into the anti-social and objectionable items published in any paper”
The Act has not been modified to fit changed realities in Nepal, it still refers to the country as a Kingdom, nevertheless, this is the basis of the Press Council’s existence. The Council has to enforce code of conduct and inquire about “antisocial” materials published in any paper.
Chaudhary Group went to the Press Council with a complaint against Mysansar. They allege that the blog published false, defamatory materials against the company-hence against media code of conduct; and they are asking for action from the Council against MySansar.
Since the Act has not been updated to include new technology and changing communication sphere, question now arises: is a blog digital equivalent of a news paper(or can the blogs be treated as newspaper equivalent, in the Nepali media context) and also whether Mysansar.com violated media code of conduct by posting those stories on Chaudhary Group.It is also important to note here that almost all of posts published by MySansar on Chaudhary Group is either republished or sources from another publication( as we have discussed earlier). Surprisingly, there is no evidence to suggest that Chaudhary Group has filed similar grievances against these sources. Mysansar seems to have been singled out.
Chaudhary’s ire against MySansar aside, the decision from Press Council to take up their complaint is questionable because the Press Council Act does not extend up to the blogs. The Act has not been modified to include blogs as news sources and part of the media. Their jurisdiction is limited to traditional media avenues. Instead of working on closing the legal loophole, the Council is now moving into a black hole territory.
MySansar did send them a clarification. I don’t think that was necessary. Why answer to an organization which has no authority over you.
Also, the question of whether Mysansar violated media code of conduct. Since the Press Council did not take any action against the newspapers and other websites which originally published parts of posts shared by Mysansar, it seems that the code of conduct was not violated.
So then why did the Council agree to go after Mysansar on Chaudhary Group’s urging? Is the council a tool to be used and abuse by powerful interests so that the voices of dissent can be silenced?
Nepali blogs and bloggers need a body to insure that their free speech rights are not violated. Also, media laws need to be updated so that this kind of blatant misuse and abuse of opportunity is not repeated. | <urn:uuid:ffdbde90-6e38-4ecf-ad3c-6c557006a2e6> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://bhumikasa.wordpress.com/2011/05/09/is-nepals-press-council-a-toy-now/ | 2017-11-21T23:01:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806438.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121223707-20171122003707-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.967235 | 1,059 | [

So Happy to have discovered CandyDirect.com
A couple of restaurants I regularly dine at have Chocolate Starlight Mints in a basket at their cash registers for customers to take after they've dined. I really love them & decided to purchase some for my husband & me. However, I discovered Chocolate Starlight Mints are not available in any store I know of in my area of SoCAL. I went to many of our grocery stores, Walmart, Target, big box stores, drug stores & finally ran out of stores for my search. Therefore, I went online & saw they were offered at only a couple of sites. CandyDirect had exactly what I wanted so I decided to purchase the 5# bag. The combination of chocolate & mint is so refreshing after a meal, or anytime for that matter, & they are very satisfying when you want a tasty treat of chocolate & mint. Both flavors are distinct & luscious! They keep well, will not spoil, & it's nice to know that I can put a handful in my purse & share with other friends or grab one in case I need a bit of instant energy. The price was good, shipping cost not all that bad, & ordering was easy. They came within the week! I was extremely happy with my purchase & would suggest this site for folks who love the taste of chocolate & mint. For my hubby & me, they surely are the best!

A restaurant my husband & I frequent gives starlite chocolate mints to it's customers. We looked everywhere in stores but couldn't find them. Then some friends told us they bought some online. So I looked them up & came up with your website. I was delighted to find them & immediately placed an order. They arrived within a week. Now we have a baggy of them in each vehicle as well as a candy dish at home. We're happy! | <urn:uuid:e46c5101-972c-465d-a7f5-5dd3573eadac> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.candydirect.com/starlite-mints-chocolate-5-lbs | 2017-11-22T18:05:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806620.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122175744-20171122195744-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.973107 | 908 | [

Merlot grapes were whole bunch pressed to ensure a low pick-up of colour and a clean juice. After settling the juice was fermented using a neutral yeast and fermentation stopped with a small amount of residual sugar. Colour was adjusted using a small amount of Tempranillo wine along with a small amount of Muscat wine for aromatics. The wine was bottled in July 2015.
Salmon pink. Aromatics of strawberry, cream and the delicate perfume of white flowers. The palate is medium bodied with a soft but rich texture. Finishing slightly off dry.

For the past 10 years followers of many religions have gathered on Thanksgiving Morning for an interfaith sermon to give thanks and share moments of congeniality. This year, Shaykh Ahmed abdur Rashid presided at the Thanksgiving Interfaith Service at the Centenary Methodist Church, Lynchburg, VA.
“No one can remember something they never truly experienced. We can remember what we were told or a picture we were shown, but we affirm that remembering the Divine is only possible because we have experienced the Divine. And remembering the Divine as Present each and every moment is enabled by gratitude. Gratitude is the path to humility, which is the doorway to Peace and security, the abode of a clean and pure heart.” – Shaykh Ahmed Abdur Rashid | <urn:uuid:a14bbdf4-f977-4a46-b6b1-b3505f74291e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://circlegroup.org/gratitude-a-practical-road-to-humility/ | 2017-11-25T01:41:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809229.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125013040-20171125033040-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.955034 | 157 | [

Marukyu Koyamaen teas never let me down. Therefore, I’m not afraid to buy anything from them without previously trying it – I had numerous of their Matchas and Sencha teas, each of them really delicious and unique in some way.
Luckily, there is a shop in my town directly importing most of their products along with other wonderful teas and pottery from all over the world. I’ve also got a sample of some 2010 steamed green tea from Meng Ding, completely processed in Japanese method – which I will review next time, hopefully.
According to Marukyu Koyamaen website, “Kawayanagi teas are made from the thick and big leaves removed during the sorting of Kabusecha and Sencha. Kawayanagi teas have only small caffeine content. They are gentle and mild with a fresh smell.”
So this is, in some way, another waste material.
And Japanese tea waste materials always seem to be wonderful.
After opening the air-tight package, heavy herbaceous smell, reminiscent of fresh mint leaves fills the room. It really stands for its description – the smell of dry leaves is very fresh, actually much fresher and somehow lighter than in usual Japanese teas.
Dry leaves are mostly long, flat and shiny-dark green, containing some stems as well.
This tea is really quite refreshing, with dominant sour and seaweed-like tones. The infusion is bright Sencha-green, although it lacks the typical opaqueness present in most Japanese teas. This goes along with the lack of milky, creamy tones which can be found in most high-grade teas, but are completely overbore by vegetal, refreshing character here.
First infusion is very mild, decent with slight scent of mint. This tea is obviously quite different from classic Japanese teas, being much more herbaceous and less “full” in character.
Taste doesn’t change that much in further infusions; I would only mention that it gets a little bit sourer with each new pot.
Another difference is that Kawayanagi is able to produce more infusions than regular Sencha or Kabuse teas; I prepared five satisfying infusions on this session.
When I taste the leaves after last infusion, they are surprisingly sweet, leaving absolutely no bitterness in my mouth. Leaves are also bigger than in most Japanese teas, but after all, it’s written in the description, so it would be strange if they won’t. I also noticed the beautiful shape of these leaves – maybe it’s caused by their size, but they aren’t so broken as in Sencha and their color is really nice, too.
As I’ve already said, Marukyu Koyamaen teas never seem to let me down. They always stand to their description very closely, so that you always know what you are buying.
And this tea is definitely worth a try, at least because it’s so different from “regular” Japanese green teas. | <urn:uuid:cb1b78d8-5c62-4f28-92f0-ea92e7592624> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://poemtea.blogspot.com/2010/05/2009-kawayanagi-ujimidori-by-marukyu.html | 2017-11-25T02:05:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809229.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125013040-20171125033040-00480.warc.gz | en | 0.971243 | 650 | [

Obama Visits Muslims in U.S.
Baltimore Islamic Society
To Host President
ISLAM NEWSROOM: "President Obama Visits Muslims at the Mosque"
January 30, 2016 - The president of the United States of America, Barack Obama, is set to meet Muslim community at the American mosque in Baltimore, Maryland.
In his very first visit to an American mosque, President Obama is hold talks with leaders from the Islamic Society of Baltimore, according to White House sources on Saturday, January 30th.
Sources also tell us his visit symbolizes a "public embrace of Muslims" by the president, at a time when America's public is showing more resentment toward Islam and Muslims in an ever growing fear of terrorist attacks fueled by media hype and certain celebrity endorsements comparing all Muslims to the very few of extremist groups.
President Obama has distanced himself from American Muslims, possibly to avoid suspicions that is a "closet Muslim", because of his father being born to Muslims living in Kenya.
Obama and his supporters have produced his birth certificate as proof he is American, being born in Hawaii and raised as a Christian. However, there are still those who insist he is a Muslim or at least, pro-Islam.
The visit comes now at the end of his tenure,a time when the Constitution prohibits the president from being reelected after serving two terms in office.
White House source says President Obama is scheduled to visit the American Muslims in celebration of "contributions made to our nation by Muslim Americans", in hopes of reaffirming the importance of religious diversity and freedom as our way of life in America.
Statements to be made by the President in his visit to the mosque are planned to repeat the "importance of staying true to our core values; welcome our fellow Americans, speak out against bigotry, reject indifference and protect our nation's tradition of religious freedom", say sources close to the president.
President Obama speaks sharply against the radical speeches, implications of American Muslims all being linked to terrorist groups and calls made by Trump, his followers and others to halt Muslims from entering the United States, being made by Trump and his supporters, and makes clear his position and our Constitution's guarantee of religious freedom.
While some have raised concerns over refugees coming from Syria, Iraq and other besieged countries to the United States, due to supposed potential import of terrorism from these regions of the planet, Obama has remained firm in his position arguing such efforts are wrong, unconstitutional and will only weaken America's position as a world leader, while putting our security at very serious risk by inciting extremist groups.
President Obama was quoted saying, "We are not going to build progress with a bunch of phony "tough talk" and bluster, over-the-top claims that just play into ISIL's hands".
Speaking to House Democrats just two days before, while working on logistics for the Baltimore event, the president told them, "We are not going to strengthen our leadership around the world by allowing politicians to insult Muslims or pit groups of Americans against each other. That is not who we are. That is not keeping America safe."
Reasons for choosing the Baltimore Islamic Society and their mosque for the event, could be due to the close proximity to Washington, D.C. and yet not right against the background of America's capitol. No one has said for sure, but there are some other views as well.
In any case, Muslims everywhere should be praying and asking God Almighty to make this event an opportunity for America to come back together and avoid going back to days of bigotry, racism and segregation.

Never one to set the league afire with his hitting, “Spinach” was nevertheless a tremendous defender when baseball was absorbed with heavy hitting. A second baseman during the Lively Ball Era, Oscar didn’t have the stick of a Hornsby or Frisch but his leather was top-notch. He led second basemen in assists four times and topped the circuit in both fielding percentage and putouts on three separate occasions. Despite the fact that he played for the Browns his value didn’t go unnoticed. He finished in the Top Ten in MVP voting two seasons.
The Browns brought Melillo up to the Majors in 1926 and he showed terrific baseball savvy in his first season. A selfless ballplayer and team man all the way, Oscar posted 24 sacrifices in his first trial at the Majors. But baseball of the late 1920s was characterized by heavy hitting and Spinach didn’t have the stick that other infield stars of the day owned. When his batting average slipped to .225 as a sophomore, he lost his job and became a reserve in 1928. But Spinach bounced back in a big way in 1929. He raised his batting average over 100 points and his slugging average close to 200 points while also establishing himself as one of the slickest second basemen in the business.
During Oscar’s breakout 1929 season he led second basemen in assists. He would be atop the leader board in assists at his position the next three years. Melillo set his career high in homeruns in 1929 and matched the output in 1930. But bashing was never Spinach’s game. He was a leather man first and foremost. Beginning in 1930, Melillo started a six-year string in which he would participate in 100 or more double plays turned. Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby, by comparison, only had two years in his illustrious career in which he turned in the excess of 100 double plays.
Melillo posted his only .300 season in 1931 when he hit .306 with a personal best 189 hits for the Browns. For his sharp work, Oscar finished eighth in MVP voting. After an off-year in 1932, Oscar was back on top in 1933. He set a personal high with 79 RBI that season and was all the rage with the leather. At this time in baseball history the Gold Glove Award had yet to be adopted but Spinach probably would have won the hardware had it been handed out. He turned 110 double plays and made just seven errors in 820 total chances, which gave him a fielding percentage of .991–twenty-one points above league average. His fielding average easily topped AL second basemen and he paced the circuit in fielding again in 1934.
But Spinach’s offensive skills began to wane in 1934 and after a slow start to the ’35 season the Browns dealt him to the Red Sox for outfielder Moose Solters. He ended the season well for Boston and in 1936 he paced American League second basemen in fielding percentage for the final time. However, Spinach only managed a .226 batting average and in those offense oriented times, this was too much the detriment. He played briefly with the Red Sox the following year–his last in the Majors.

Gurdwara Bhandara Sahib Village Nanakmata
Gurdwara Bhandara Sahib is associated with the first Guru, Guru Nanak Dev ji who came here during his Third Udasi or travel in 1514 A.D. The yogis who inhabited this place demanded a variety of foods from Guru ji. On the instructions of Guru Sahib, Bhai Mardana climbed up a banyan tree and vigorously shook its branches. To the amazement of the yogis, a variety of foods fell down from the branches of the tree and satisfied the hunger of the yogis and Bhai Mardana. Since the gurdwara is located very close to the main Gurdwara Nanakmata Sahib, it has limited resources of its own.
Gurdwara Bhandara Sahib is located in the town of Nanak Mata, district Udham Singh Nagar near Gurdwara Nanak Mata Sahib | <urn:uuid:09a8cb6d-5701-4e1c-a053-6b3c6be50a0c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.allaboutsikhs.com/index.php/gurudwaras-in-punjab/gurdwara-bhandara-sahib-village-nanakmata | 2017-11-18T21:34:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805049.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118210145-20171118230145-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.965842 | 201 | [

Police say they have found the commercial fishing trawler Dianne in which six men are believed to have drowned when it sank in heavy seas on Monday night.
The sea cucumber fishing boat was detected by sonar about two to three nautical miles off Round Hill Headland, near Seventeen Seventy.
Police confirmed the discovery in a statement released just after 6:00pm on Friday.
Water Police remained at the scene overnight and a full recovery operation was due to commence this morning.
Seven crew were aboard the boat when it capsized.
Ruben McDornan was the only person rescued, after he clung to the overturned hull for several hours.
After days of searching for the other crewmen, police conceded yesterday the search for skipper Ben Leahy, Adam Bidner, Adam Hoffman, Zach Feeney, Chris Sammut and Eli Tonks had become a recovery mission.
Bad weather and rough seas hampered the search effort.
Family members of the missing men had joined the search with two chartered boats, one relative in a plane and others combing the beaches for any signs of their loved ones.
Earlier, Gladstone Inspector Darren Somerville said it had been very tough for the families.
"They're all upset. Most of them it's hit home it's not going to be an ideal outcome," he said.
Twelve boats were involved in Friday's operation, along with a helicopter and several vehicles that patrolled the shoreline.
At least one of the boats was fitted with side scan sonar, using soundwaves to detect any possible man-made items under the water.
Mr McDornan, the sole survivor of the accident, was "very, very lucky" to be found, according to his rescuer.
Mal Priday was sailing with his wife and brother-in-law when they come across Mr McDornan on Tuesday morning while on their way to Pancake Creek.
Mr Priday said Mr McDornan, who did not have a life jacket, was found wearing only a pair of shorts about 20 nautical miles from where the boat was thought to have sunk.
"The right time, the right course, the right speed… the odds are just incalculable," he said.
Earlier Mr McDornan's wife issued a heartfelt thank you for the "messages, thoughts and prayers" following her husband's rescue.
Sammy McDornan was reunited with her husband Ruben in Gladstone yesterday after he was saved from the hull of the trawler
In a Facebook post, Mrs McDornan said her husband was "doing OK" despite his ordeal.ABC | <urn:uuid:c91e0569-5df4-4850-8886-d8212db59234> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.willyweather.com.au/news/7158/sunken+fishing+trawler+dianne+found+by+searchers+off+queensland+coast.html | 2017-11-19T15:51:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805687.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119153219-20171119173219-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.983875 | 545 | [

A magnificent series of ballet and opera films will be shown in theaters across Georgia this spring.
You’d think that such an announcement would be straightforward — ballets are performed, filmed and beamed around the world, and that’s that. But a tragic, highly charged event has forced the postponement of one of the works: the Bolshoi Ballet’s new production of “The Rite of Spring” by British choreographer Wayne McGregor. The directorship of the Bolshoi, along with McGregor, has postponed the premiere because the company’s artistic director, Sergei Filin, was assaulted on January 17 by a masked attacker who threw acid in his face. He received third-degree burns and substantial damage to his eyes. His recovery is expected to take several months.
The Bolshoi announced this week that the McGregor ballet will premiere when Filin returns to the theater. It was commissioned to mark the 100th anniversary of the Vaslav Nijinsky-Igor Stravinsky “Rite of Spring” that caused a near-riot in the audience when it premiered in Paris in 1913.
The rest of the ballet films on the “Emerging Pictures” schedule are less highly charged. I saw two of them last year at the Carmike 12 in Snellville, the participating theater closest to my home in Candler Park. The first featured the Nederlands Dans Theater in its homage to “The Rite of Spring,” and the second was a December showing of England’s Royal Ballet in “The Nutcracker.”
Both were beautifully filmed and shown on a large screen in a state-of-the-art theater with big, cushy seats. At the NDT screening, there were only two of us in the audience. For “The Nutcracker” there were 12.
So wake up, Atlanta dance lovers, and head to your nearest Carmike Cinema. The chain’s theaters in Athens, Canton, Columbus, Conyers, Lagrange, Newnan and Snellville are participating in the series. Yes, it would be great if these films were showing in the city of Atlanta, but in my experience they are worth the gas money because they feature companies we’ll probably never see live in Georgia. The series will run through May.
And for you opera lovers, La Scala’s “Don Carlo” is showing on February 10 and 12, and “Les Troyens” will beam in from the Royal Opera House on February 24 and 26. Check www.emergingpictures.com for more opera showings.
Coming up next in the dance series:
February 5: “An Evening With Sol León and Paul Lightfoot.” These Nederlands Dans Theater choreographers are the darlings of European contemporary ballet. Their works “Shoot the Moon” and “Same Difference” are both set to music by Philip Glass. “Sh-Boom” is a playful piece set to songs by Vera Lynn and Stan Freberg.
February 17 and 19: The Bolshoi Ballet in “La Bayadère.” Don’t miss the famous “Kingdom of the Shades” scene.
March 3 and 5: “An Evening With Crystal Pite — A Dance With the Unknown (Nederlands Dans Theater).” Pite has been described as one of the hottest choreographers on the planet. She is part of William Forsythe’s artistic lineage and is known for her organic and poetic style.
March 10 and 12: La Scala Ballet in a revival of Roland Petit’s “Notre-Dame de Paris.” The ballet was inspired by Victor Hugo’s novel, with music by Maurice Jarre and costumes by Yves Saint-Laurent. | <urn:uuid:6d5e9d59-4cd5-4b87-b4f0-ac0caa23e42f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://artsatl.com/preview-beautifully-filmed-ballet-opera-concerts-coming-theater-somewhat/ | 2017-11-20T11:49:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806030.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120111550-20171120131550-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.958468 | 818 | [

Little Britain star Matt Lucas quits Twitter after teen’s jibes about dead lover
COMEDIAN Matt Lucas has quit Twitter in disgust after a Northern Ireland teenager apparently made fun of his ex-partner’s suicide.
The Little Britain star (37) announced his decision in a final message to his 566,200 followers after the 16-year-old tweeted a joke about Kevin McGee.
The message compared the death of McGee — who hanged himself in October 2009 — to that of TV presenter Mark Speight who also killed himself.
McGee was found dead 10 months after divorcing Lucas. The pair had been married for 18 months in a civil partnership.
The TV producer killed himself after posting a suicide note on Facebook, which read: ‘Kevin McGee thinks that death is much better than life’.
The teenager at the centre of the row was listed on Twitter as being from a village in Co Antrim although his account has now been deleted from the networking site.
The jibe was posted on Friday night, prompting a furious Lucas to write back: “Shame on you.”
The schoolboy tweeted a ‘wink’, to which Lucas wrote: “I'm not joking. I think you should delete that tweet. It really upset me.”
In a general posting to his followers, he added his disappointment that the teen “thinks jokes about the suicide of my former partner are funny”.
The Co Antrim boy apologised and denied sending the tweet.
“I only put it up as a joke for my friends to see,” he said.
But shortly afterwards the comedian announced he would be closing his Twitter account.
He said: “I appreciate all the support on here over the past couple of years but it's time to shut down my Twitter account. Xx.”
Lucas was a regular tweeter and the exchanges sparked a flurry of messages from fans who urged him not to quit the site.
Fans launched a series of attacks on the teenager with one calling the comments “heartless and cruel”.
A short time later, a separate website carried a lengthy apology which it said had been emailed by the Co Antrim tweeter.
“Matt, if you’re reading this, I truly am sorry,” the statement said.
Broadcaster Richard Madeley was among those who tweeted advice to Lucas after the hurtful comments.
“If you get abusive tweets, you know the sender is inadequate, sexually incompetent and has a jealously complex. Tweet them that and then block ’em,” he wrote.
It is far from the first time a celebrity has threatened to leave Twitter after suffering abuse.
QI host Stephen Fry — one of showbiz’s most prolific tweeters with almost four million followers — has also threatened to quit the site in the past after taking offence at abusive tweets.
Matt Lucas is a comedian, screenwriter and actor best known for his acclaimed work with David Walliams in the television show Little Britain. He first rose to prominence in the 1990s in his role as George Dawes alongside comedians Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer in their comedy panel game Shooting Stars. He entered into a civil partnership with Kevin McGee in December 2006 but the relationship broke down 18 months later. | <urn:uuid:412ea6cf-26e8-4bef-8ee0-51d9ed25931c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/tv-radio/little-britain-star-matt-lucas-quits-twitter-after-teens-jibes-about-dead-lover-26826021.html | 2017-11-20T12:27:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806030.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120111550-20171120131550-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.978479 | 697 | [

I attended 2 New Jersey tax sales just recently, after having not been to a tax sale in a few months. I was not able to purchase anything at either of these tax sales. From speaking with other financiers that I understand, who have been at this video game longer than I have, I have actually come to discover that things have changed this past year in New Jersey. It’s getting harder in the previous couple of years to obtain rewarding tax liens in this state.

For an individual with security clearance a tax lien or tax levy will lead to their work termination. | <urn:uuid:5fd08169-2c9c-4ca2-945e-3b1ea2983495> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.harryforcongress.com/tax-relief-booneville-ky-41314/ | 2017-11-21T06:18:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806317.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121055145-20171121075145-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.96155 | 661 | [

Leslie has always loved the performing arts. In her youth, she was a competitive dancer and taught dance at a local dance school in New Jersey. She received an undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts from Marquette University where she participated on and offstage in numerous maintstage and studio productions. Leslie pursued a career as a pediatric physical therapist and currently works for the Clermont County Early Intervention Program. She was excited to return to the arts when her daughter began performing with Acting Up in the Spring of 2016. Since then, she has been able to put her theatre training to use in several Acting Up productions. | <urn:uuid:77a077f7-3ff1-418f-9a1e-e176f12a768f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.actingup.com/leslie-long.html | 2017-11-22T01:49:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806447.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122012409-20171122032409-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.987212 | 122 | [

I woke up midday without a hangover which was surprising, just very tired. Sundays like that are write offs in my book and that was exactly what it was. Started it off playing COD with my friend, which went on for a few hours until the game froze and i lost all my saved games, slightly annoyed so we had a break. Spent most of the day writing the previous two days worth of Advent posts and just milled about really. My brother got himself a 42" TV to go with his new PS3 purchase and woke me up while he was carrying it upstairs.
Watched Golden Compass with my dad which he liked but that might have been the couple glasses of wine he had. I mean its a good film but its not great, and has some shit parts. Oh well.
Most of the evening was spent playing COD or watching films, i forget which ones but thankfully South Park is repeated at night on Comedy Central. I might download South Park and watch it from the beginning again, some of the episodes are fantastic. | <urn:uuid:1c7a6b6b-eb20-4400-95a6-5ff8862ba925> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://disco-vigilantes.blogspot.com/2011/12/advent-dec-4th.html | 2017-11-22T20:03:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806660.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122194844-20171122214844-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.990442 | 214 | [

For most of us being caught in the middle of a rush hour can be very challenging. But, whether we like it or not, rush hour has become a part and parcel of life. And no matter where you go, which ever country you are in you are sure to witness the rush hour.
Here we bring you the rush hours in different countries which would amaze and surprise you.
From a bird’s view, you would think , they are just some toy cars arranged on a track for the kids to play with.
The traffic congestion here seems mainly due to these cycle rickshaws. One of their means of transport.
For a city where the transportation is mainly through the water channels, this is not a very surprising sight.
In a village from India, these cows are seen going about to start their day.
The plight of the train attendants at work here is rather pitiful. So much for the rush hour.
Siem Reap, Cambodia
The two wheelers are their best bet to reach their destination on time during their rush hour.
London, Great Britain
So the Londoners are in a great rush at the tube to catch their trains on time.
The capital of Russia sees only the cars out on the roads during their rush hours.
São Paulo, Brazil
The struggle to get into the train is the worst during rush hours.
By the looks of this taxi park, the taxi cabs are going to be the bulk of the traffic during rush hour.
And if you thought you have seen enough, check out this train ride in Bangladesh during the Bishwa Ijtema. | <urn:uuid:7970309b-9599-409b-840e-c8ad7f01a900> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.theunknownbutnothidden.com/heres-rush-hour-different-countries-like-youve-never-seen/ | 2017-11-22T20:18:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806660.82/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122194844-20171122214844-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.972404 | 338 | [

I love making frittatas but I’ve been trying to make them with more vegetables than fat filled ingredients. I’m using less eggs which creates more of a pizza like dish instead of something more like a quiche. I even serve it on a pizza paddle. This is a great dish to make for your holiday breakfast or brunch and one I’ll be sharing for A Gluten-Free Holiday . Today Carrie at Ginger Lemon Girl is hosting the event spotlighting Holiday Breakfast and Brunch. You can head there to share your recipes and leave comments for your chance to win
- 4 copies of The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook by Elana Amsterdam
- 4 Elana’s Pantry totes
- 2 copies of Cooking for Isaiah: Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Recipes for Easy Delicious Meals by Silvana Nardone
- 3 copies of The Gluten-Free Diner e-book by Diane Eblin -yep that would be me
- 3 copies of Gluten Free Breakfast and Brunch by Lori Karavolis
I just need to say how honored I am to have my cookbook as part of a giveaway with two amazing women and their cookbooks. I’m so lucky to know both Elana and Silvana and you couldn’t meet two more wonderful gals. They are so smart, talented, have written amazing cookbooks and to boot they’re really nice and what I call good people. Please make sure you head over and enter to win their cookbook.
Each week there are opportunities to win wonderful cookbooks. Last week you had that same chance here. The winners were chosen last night via random numbers. Carrie has the complete list of winners!
Skinny Frittata with Mushrooms, Spinach, Garlic, Potato and a Touch of Prosciutto
- 1 cup hashbrown potatoes
- 1/4 diced red onion
- 1 dozen cremini mushrooms sliced
- 2/3 cup frozen spinach or 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 garlic clove
- 4 organic large brown eggs beaten
- 1 slice proscuitto crisped in the oven
- 1-2 TBS Organic Coconut Oil
- Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
In your 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet melt some of the coconut oil and saute your hash browns. If you’re pressed for time you can skip this step if using frozen hash browns. Just make sure they are not frozen but warmed up in the microwave. I like them browned and crispy before adding them to the eggs.
Saute the onion until soft and then set aside. Not saute the mushrooms until they start to brown and then set aside with onions.
Saute the spinach and garlic until soften and set aside.
Now make sure there is oil in the pan so the eggs will float. I’ve greatly reduced the amount I used to see if it would work and it did. Make sure you have beat the eggs until fluffy which should take at least 2 minutes. This will really make a difference. If you like to add milks to your eggs you can do that now but I found it works just as well without.
Pour the eggs into the pan. Let them settle for a minute but do not touch them or play with them. You want them floating in the oil and if you start messing with them you’ll incorporate that oil into the eggs. Now slowly add in the onions, mushrooms, spinach, garlic and potatoes. Top with the pancetta. When you see the edges start to pull away which should start pretty soon. If you are using more eggs it takes longer but the beauty of less eggs is this is faster.
Pop it into your pre-heated oven for 10-12 minutes. If you jiggle the pan and it’s not rippling then the eggs are cooked. Carefully remove the pan and let it sit for 10 minutes. Now you can remove it from the pan, slice it up and serve it warm.
Yield: 4 servings
You can add whatever cheese you like to this dish too. If you don’t have cremini mushrooms you can use white or portobello cut into chunks.
If you don’t have a cast iron skillet ask for one this holiday season. If not any non-stick oven safe skillet will work.

I think it’s really hard to not compare yourself to others when social media makes it so easy make it feel like you are competing with your peers, friends, etc.
““Don’t compete with one another. Sharpen one another.”
I’m not your competition. I’m not your rival understand this. -Caitlin
I will believe being at the number 1 Historically Black College for the last 7 years in a row it makes you feel like you aren’t doing enough, you are not involved in the extracurricular activities like you should be. It just feels like you need to be doing more all the time.
Much love to Eva,
Jael also said that, “Confidence will get you through anything in life.
You being confident in yourself allows you to move forward in your life.”
And that’s real I can see that in my own life as I watched one of very good friends,Erin get accepted into Senior Seminar Research program (which is really selective) and got inducted into Psi Chi (Psychology Honor Society) within the span of what felt like JUST 1 week. I have came to the conclusion that it was all possible because of her sacrifice, determination, will, a great support system,and HER MINDSET.
She was confident in her abilities. And I admire my good friend for this quality.She understands that for success to occur one must make sacrifices. But please understand it was not easy, but she did it, because she knew she could. I love her so much for that.
I believe the following things are important for me to say:
- I know it’s hard but we all must work hard for the things we want in our lives. Something that is of value doesn’t get obtained without effort and sacrifice.
- You can never take a break from yourself. You cannot get away from yourself. So you might as well love yourself.
You must work in your gift work through your purpose.
JaeltheGreat also said, :
“You are perfect for your purpose.” Find your purpose. Ask your self what makes you happy? What waters your soul?
- don’t ever dim your light for anyone. To those who cannot handle your light then oh well..
- If people start hating on you just understand that is just apart of the process to you leveling up.
“Whole people heal people.” Broken people break others down.”
“Don’t focus on the negative. Only accept the words that have came to water you!”
Understand that in order for elevation to occur separation must occur first!
You are doing something right hunny when they start hating on you. Tell dem haters you said thank you ;).
I speak alto on having to let go of friends and people of love so that I may be able to elevate myself.
I recommend to read the following posts to read:
- not diming your light just so someone else can shine
- letting the toxins within your life go.
- Bruised, not broken.
- no more allowing people to take their plate and leaving.
- seasons change and so do your friends.
Think about it like think this:
Imagine you having to run up 4 flights of stairs and you have all these bags you are carrying with you. The baggage you are carrying begins to impede on your success of running when you have reached the 2nd flight of stairs out of the 4.
You must let that baggage go.What ever weighs you down. What ever does not water your growth. Whatever that does not feed you. drop it.
Word to Ms.Eyrkah Badu… side note I’m putting it in the universe that you will receive this and receive this love ❤
Much love to:
Like a house that is built with a bad and unstable foundation we must:
What ever makes you feel drained. What ever that makes you unstable. drop it. destroy it.
Like if you address an issue you have found to be problematic in ANY of your relationships and that person is unwilling to make a decision to change. Then you must make the decision to change. Cause you cannot change others, you can only change yourself.
God gave you your light.Walk in your light with purpose. Walk with your purpose. Live for yourself. Be yourself.
Make it a habitual then as you get use to it make it a intentional action to love yourself.
When you do this, things becomes easier with time. | <urn:uuid:a363fba5-e0b6-448a-a9ff-3a80d549bd27> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://onlynaturallove.com/2017/11/14/stay-in-your-lane/ | 2017-11-23T14:32:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806842.71/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123142513-20171123162513-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.964855 | 965 | [

I learnt to sew on this old Treadle, & my mother used to sew all my clothes for me when I was little with this machine. My Mother used it right up until just before she died, & it still works very well. I love it, & could never part with it. My Mother was surprised when I told her I would keep it, & treasure it.
I would love to restore the surface of the machine, but feel I might spoil it, with all the accumulated patina, of the years. There is damage on one of the drawers that has happened somewhere along the way. It has been there as long as I can remember.
This is Whitney, who sits on top of the machine, which is down in our entryway.
I made her about 12 years ago, & made her clothes, & decorated her hat. The pic is not a great one, you cant see her elaborate dress. It is calico, but has a lot of pintucking on the bodice.
I dislike the brick wall of the entryway, so like to think Whitney takes some of the baldness off the ugly bricks.
This is a set of drawers belonging to my Nice Neighbours. They found them dumped on the side of the road, when they stopped for a comfort break for their little dog. What treasure! Mr Nice Neighbour has done them up, & put a handle on the top. Isnt it just a lovely little set of drawers? Obviously it has come from a Singer Treadle, & it is sad to think it ended dumped on the side of the road, in a ditch. But it now has a new life, & is beautiful again.
And this pic is of Mrs Nice Neighbour's wonderful Beach Theme garden. I think it is fantastic. She is so talented at these little gardens. And the plants all live!
A Magic day. Perhaps a miracle will happen, ...it always seems possible on a day like today.
Or perhaps the miracle is here - GOM is vaccuuming for me! He is such a treasure. | <urn:uuid:2fb0d226-f7d7-4527-b42f-a534bcd3ed9e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://lifesfreetreats.blogspot.com/2007/03/singer-sewing-machine.html | 2017-11-24T08:56:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807344.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124085059-20171124105059-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.983695 | 431 | [

Howard Marcus Derham, a 49 year old tax adviser from the Isle of Wight, has been jailed for 6 months for claiming £52,000 in tax repayments using his clients’ names.
Newport Crown Court heard that Derham had claimed tax repayments on behalf of Self Assessment customers from HMRC but failed to pass the money on. In some cases, his clients were unaware that their tax returns had even been submitted and had no idea they were due a refund until they received notifications from HMRC.
HMRC began an investigation following complaints from Derham’s clients and found that he did not have a lavish lifestyle; he had run into financial difficulties and was using his clients’ money to cover his debts.
Derham pleaded guilty to five of the ten counts of Income Tax fraud he was charged with and asked for another 28 offences to be taken into account.
62 year old Angela Whitehead-Creasey, a business woman from Skegness who ran three food outlets and rented out bed-sits, failed to pay any of the £160,000 tax that was due.
Whitehead-Creasey pleaded guilty to tax evasion and income tax fraud and was sentenced to 12 months prison suspended for two years and 60 hours of unpaid work following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court.
During the eleven years Whitehead-Creasey ran the business, she failed to register for VAT and never paid Income Tax or PAYE for her employees.
17 men have been arrested following an HMRC investigation into an estimated £2m VAT repayment fraud.
Criminal investigators from HMRC, alongside Leicestershire Police, arrested 14 men in Liecester, two in Milton Keynes and one in Newcastle in dawn raids.
All those arrested were interviewed and bailed whilst HMRC enquiries continue. | <urn:uuid:70dc4964-ba99-48e9-8776-c889fdca71f1> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.kinsellatax.co.uk/jailed-by-hmrc-this-week-22-nov/ | 2017-11-24T09:15:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807344.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124085059-20171124105059-00680.warc.gz | en | 0.988506 | 372 | [

Allen Lorenzo of Tomei Powered and Hoon TV collaborated in a little video production at the recent Nismo Festival that was held earlier this month. This short film is a great addition to the coverage I posted, adding the sounds and visuals that stills just can’t capture. Plus seeing we will have to wait until 2013 for the next one, revisiting all this Nismo goodness seems like a pretty good idea. Hit play and enjoy!

We are seeing on our screens the destruction of Lebanon, and somehow our Government lacks the will or ability to criticise the government of Israel.
I know the influence of the religious right in the USA, and the way President Bush is inordinately influenced by them, but Britain is still, as far as I know, a sovereign independent power. And we see our Government completely incapable of seeing faults on both sides, and being able to intervene with the United Nations as an honest broker.
Has someone, somewhere got a hold on Tony Blair and does nobody in the Labour Party have the guts to call him to account?
If this onslaught is not ended it will escalate and we will be dragged into a world war.

We know that cost is a concern for many people, and we want you to feel comfortable getting the treatment you need. We gladly file insurance forms for you and accept payment from them.
Before treatment begins, we will estimate your out-of-pocket costs based on the information provided by your insurance company, and we expect payment of your portion at the time of your appointment.
Please remember that you are responsible for any amounts not covered by your insurance company.
We accept the following forms of payment:
• Credit and debit cards (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover)
• Personal checks and money orders
• CareCredit (no-interest payment plans) apply at www.carecredit.com
Your invisible orthodontic treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place.
If you’re ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, invisible braces is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, Dr Johnson will help you determine which braces are right for you.
Amalgam filling material (also called ‘silver’, ‘metal’, or ‘mercury’) is actually made up of several metals. The one we use is an alloy of silver, tin, copper, palladium, and mercury. When these metals are combined, they form a stable substance that is still unbeatable in terms of strength and durability.
There are many people who are concerned that the mercury in amalgam fillings may leach into the body and cause toxicity. While I do recognize that mercury is a toxic substance that should be handled responsibly, the consensus is that the mercury in amalgam is harmless. While bound with the other metals in the amalgam material, the mercury poses no threat to your body or the environment.
However, in removing old fillings, some mercury is released, and while we use filtration devices (and an EPA-approved disposal system) to catch it before it washes down the drain, some will inevitably escape into the environment and likely into your body as well. This is why I do not recommend replacing amalgam fillings unless dentally necessary due to recurrent decay, fracture, or abscess.
For new, small cavities, I prefer to use composite (also called ‘resin’) material for two reasons: it looks better and, should it need to be replaced in the future, there is no risk of mercury release. Unfortunately, composite materials do not compare to amalgam in compression strength. So for large fillings, the only amalgam-free option is to place a crown (or ‘cap’) over the tooth.
Online Articles about mercury in amalgam fillings:
Most people would like to change something about their smile: gaps, misshapen teeth, or rotated teeth, just to name a few. While orthodontics is often a good solution, it is not always necessary, nor does it fix all problems.
In many cases, veneers are a perfect solution for people who not only would like straighter teeth, but also those who would like to permanently lighten their smile. Thanks to newer materials, veneers are stronger and thinner than ever and usually our patients don’t even need anesthetic.
The first step to a straighter, brighter smile is scheduling your free aesthetic consultation with Dr. Johnson. She will listen to your concerns, review your options, and together you will decide the best treatment. We will also give you a cost estimate for your new smile. The next appointment will be the preparation. Dr. Johnson will reshape the enamel slightly to make room for the veneers and we’ll get an impression. Two weeks later, your veneers will be ready, and with your approval, we will cement them permanently.
Nutritional support for cracked or chapped lips
I am going to address two lip issues which are common. The first is the very common ‘chapped lips’, defined by peeling and cracking on the lower lip in particular. This is an indication of a deficiency of the B vitamins and possibly dehydration and an imbalance of oral flora. What I recommend and what usually works well is a liquid B-complex, probiotics and increasing water intake. The liquid B complex formula I like is made by Pure Encapsulations.
The second lip problem is painful cracks at the corners of the mouth. What my patients have found helpful in these cases is the B-complex according to label directions and 1 tablespoon of Safflower oil daily. I have found that this works almost overnight in probably 90% of the cases. In the remaining cases it seems that common yeast such as C. albicans is present and will need to be treated with an anti-fungal ointment.
Another recommendation which would be helpful in the long run for both lip issues is to assure a balanced gut flora by consuming foods containing beneficial organisms such as acidophilus capsules, yogurt, kefir, kombucha tea, buttermilk and raw sauerkraut. I would also add that it is helpful to avoid sugar because sugar encourages overgrowth of C. albicans.
Decay is a common disease, so common that most people don’t think it is a big deal. But the damage is life-long, so we should all do everything we can to prevent it. Decay is primarily caused by sugar in that most of us have bacteria in our mouths which turn the sugar into acids which dissolve teeth. Another problem which contributes to decay is having a dry mouth and this is most often due to medications.
There are five ways to tackle the root of the decay problem:
1)avoid sugary treats and drinks
2) buffer the acids by brushing with baking soda
3)clean teeth thoroughly every day to remove as many bacteria as possible
4) make the teeth more resistant to the acids by using fluoride toothpastes and/or a product containing Calcium and Magnesium such as MI paste which your dental office may carry
5) use oral probiotics to encourage competing friendly bacteria.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that the decay-causing bacteria can be transferred from parents to children and between couples through saliva so think twice before you share that ice cream cone! : )
Clenching and Grinding of Teeth
Nighttime clenching and grinding of the teeth is very damaging to the teeth and jaw joints (TMJ dysfunction). I have some simple recommendations based on research and confirmed by observations in my practice.
1) Don’t sleep with your head in a forward position, and if you sleep on your back – no pillow. If you sleep on your side, support your neck and don’t bend your head forward. This will make it harder to clench. If you want to test this, just lean your head back and try to clench! : )
2) Taking a magnesium powder supplement will help your muscles relax. I recommend taking from ½ to 1 tsp (100-200mg) in some warm water in the evening.
3) If you have any neck issues such as a whiplash injury, get them taken care of. Over the years, I’ve seen a correlation of neck problems with clenching and resolution of clenching once the neck problem has been taken care of. I recommend Chiropractic care for my patients in this situation.
4) If all the above are not enough to stop nighttime clenching and grinding then I recommend a night guard which snaps over the teeth and prevents the damage to the teeth.
What is gum disease / periodontal disease?
Signs and symptoms may range from bleeding gums to shifting teeth to tooth loss.
Unfortunately, it rarely causes pain. I say unfortunately because without pain some people will not become aware of the disease until they have lost so much bone that they are losing their teeth. It is discovered too late. This bone and tooth loss then makes a denture very difficult to fit or wear.
The periodontal tissues are the gums and bone which surround and support the teeth in the jaws. When disease is present it can be minor, as in gingivitis, affecting only the gums- or more severe, when it is damaging the bone. Gingivitis can progress to periodontal disease when it is not treated. Periodontal disease can cause gums to bleed and teeth to shift or become loose, and can even cause them to fall out or need to be extracted.
There are many things which contribute to periodontal disease: tobacco use, poor diet, medications that dry the mouth or reduce immunity, some hormones, genetics and diseases such as diabetes which lowers the immune response. Conversely, periodontal disease can contribute to health problems such as diabetes, bacterial pneumonia, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
We feel strongly that keeping your mouth healthy will help keep you healthy!
When I do the initial examination, I do a thorough evaluation of the overall health of your periodontal supporting tissues. If there are trouble areas, we discuss the treatments which can be used to help get your mouth healthy again. The treatments, guided by diagnostic aids such as Oral DNA testing to identify the bacteria or an individual’s susceptibility, may be as simple as a preventive-type cleaning, or may include scaling and root-planing and adjunctive therapy modalities such as antibiotics, probiotics, oral rinses and Perio Protect.
Another important thing to keep in mind is that the bacteria which cause periodontal disease may be passed from parents to children and between couples through saliva.
One question which comes up when periodontal disease is found and treated is ‘My insurance pays for a cleaning twice a year; why can’t I just get a regular cleaning?’ Briefly, the treatment must follow the diagnosis. While insurance companies do typically pay for the twice yearly cleaning, what they mean by that is that they will pay for ‘preventive’ cleanings, ie. there is no disease. Insurance coverage for gum care in a disease state varies according to your policy but most will pay half of the cost.
It is estimated that over 80 million people in North America snore. Snoring is a symptom of your body struggling for breath due to a relaxed (and therefore smaller) airway; it not only reduces your quality of sleep and interferes with your sleep cycle, snoring can also cause increased blood pressure which could damage your heart. And we all know it can also disturb the sleep of those around you! Fortunately, we can help.
Silent Nite is an affordable, custom-made, snoring prevention device. When compared to the moderate success rates of surgical procedures (20%-40%), Silent Nite snore prevention devices can be the first course of treatment for simple snoring. Dr. Johnson will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to uncover your snoring pattern and determine the specific design of the Silent Nite. Then we will take impressions of your upper and lower arches and within a few weeks, you and your loved ones will be enjoying better, more restful sleep.
Teeth whitening (or “bleaching”) is any process that removes stains from enamel. All methods are semi-permanent. Our preferred method is a custom-made tray that you use at home with a peroxide gel for one hour at a time to overnight. Most people see results after three uses, with ultimate lightening after one to two weeks. We recommend this type of whitening to remove tobacco, coffee, tea, wine, and some tetracycline stains. With this method, you can touch up your smile as often as you like, at your convenience.
As with any whitening system, some people experience cold sensitivity during treatment; this can be remedied by using a lower percentage gel, using it less frequently, using fluoride gel and avoiding highly acidic foods while whitening. Also, for your comfort and safety, all decay should be restored before bleaching begins to avoid extreme sensitivity.
Perio Protect™ is a new, home care treatment program for periodontal disease using a dentist-created and FDA-cleared medical device that can deliver doctor-prescribed medications to the source of periodontal infections. These medications address the pathogens that cause gum disease.
The medical device is a set of custom fabricated Perio Protect Trays™ that are easy to use and comfortable to wear. The Perio Protect Trays offer varying thickness and differing extensions to support a special seal that gently guides antimicrobial agents of the dentist’s choosing into the infected area (gingival sulcus) and that maintains the medications for a sufficient time to control the bacteria causing the infection. As healing occurs, patients alter the frequency and duration that they wear their trays.
In order to obtain Perio Protect Trays, a patient must visit a dentist who is a licensed Perio Protect partner. Precise impressions of the mouth are sent to a dental laboratory where custom trays are made to meet an individual patient’s needs and conditions.
Patients’ response to treatment has proven to be extremely rapid, and patient acceptance has been outstanding. The method is easy to follow and painless, and the medications help to control the bacteria that cause the disease.
There are several contributing factors and many pathogenic bacteria that can cause gum disease. Oral DNA Labs now offer a salivary screening tool we can use to accurately diagnose and treat the specific cause or causes of your disease. There are two tests we can do. Both are done in our office and are quick, non-invasive, and painless. The first, MyPerioPath, identifies which of eight commonly associated bacteria are causing your infection and how numerous they are; many times, more than one bacterial presence is to blame. The second test, MyPerioID, uses genetic markers to determine if you are more susceptible than most people to gum tissue infections.
Ask about Oral DNA tests if you have been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease or you have any of the following indicators:
- Inflamed, red, or bleeding gum tissue
- Bone loss evidenced by periodontal pockets or x-rays
- Family history of periodontal disease
- Smoking or history of smoking
- Other conditions, such as diabetes, that increase your susceptibility
- Certain medications, such as asthma inhalers or steroids
- Chronic bad breath
- Loose teeth
Every year we learn more about the connection between oral health and whole-body health and oral disease causing systemic disease. By knowing what bacteria are in your mouth and being aware of your proclivity towards disease, we can help you to be as healthy as you can be. To learn more, visit:
The dental resources provided in this section of the website are intended for clients to have quick access to quality information about dental health. My hope is to continue to expand this list of highly recommend websites.
Perio Protect is a revolutionary new method to treat most periodontal disease (also known as gum disease, gingivitis or periodontitis) using an FDA-cleared medical device to deliver dentist-prescribed medications directly to the source of the infection.

Is there such a thing as Trumpism?
Donald Trump won the Republican presidential nomination by discarding nearly every ideological tenet of the modern conservative movement in America. He slammed free trade, promised to invest in infrastructure, disparaged the so-called liberal world order, questioned the purpose of NATO and shunned the idea that American foreign policy should pursue regime change and promote democracy around the world. All this raised questions over what sort of worldview was actually driving him. Some called him a fascist, others a populist, still others an unprincipled opportunist.
Some identified an obscure group of academics and writers around the conservative Claremont Review of Books as being the ideological force behind Trump. Of particular interest was an article published during the campaign, ‘The Flight 93 Election’. The article made an analogy with the plane hijacked on 9/11, whose passengers had chosen to storm the cockpit rather than face certain disaster. Voting for Trump might seem reckless, the author suggested, but a Hillary Clinton presidency would be immeasurably worse.
That article’s author, Publius Decius Mus (now revealed to be Trump staffer Michael Anton), said there are three key pillars to Trump’s ideology: closed borders, economic nationalism and an interests-based foreign policy. Yet within his first 100 days in office, many viewed Trump as having betrayed these very principles, chiefly with his decision to attack Syria. Key allies assumed to be behind his Trumpist ideology fell to the wayside, while more orthodox members of the Republican Party gained ground in the administration.
So does this prove that those who called Trump an opportunist were closest to the mark? Many now contend that there never was a coherent Trumpist ideology. In this view, Trumpism was a fantasy invented by those who desperately wanted to believe in a coherent alternative to the establishment assumptions shared by mainstream Democrats and Republicans alike.
Nevertheless, Trump is now president and is attempting to further his agenda, coherent or otherwise. Is Trumpism still a useful concept, either for those supporters who want to hold him to it, or opponents who want to resist or defeat it? With many now speculating that the president won’t see out even his first term, would a future President Pence keep the Trumpist flame alive? Or does the term Trumpism afford too much credibility to Trump? | <urn:uuid:1ab20b3f-5cde-4cd3-9af6-4a68131991b2> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.battleofideas.org.uk/session/is-there-such-a-thing-as-trumpism/ | 2017-11-19T19:27:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805761.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119191646-20171119211646-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.974945 | 477 | [

Some of you may remember the job posting for an Editor-in-Chief at CK Media that I wrote about in late June. It turns out that the position was for Paper Crafts magazine. Long-time Paper Crafts editor-in-chief Stacy Croninger has moved on to another position at CK Media as Senior Events Manager of the Creating Keepsakes Conventions.
Stacy was the face of Paper Crafts magazine for over four years in the front of the magazine, at CK events in the U.S and around the world, and on QVC. She will be greatly missed by Paper Crafts‘ fans as a presence for the magazine.
Paper Crafts announced Friday that Jennifer Schaerer will be their new Editor-in-Chief. Jennifer comes to Paper Crafts with over a decade of varied experience in publishing and leadership development. Her previous affiliations have included Franklin Covey, Zenger│Folkman, Weider Publishing (Shape, Men’s Fitness, and Muscle & Fitness magazines), and Starlite magazine.
Besides her background in publishing, Jennifer is described by Paper Crafts as “a self-confessed paper fanatic who admits that there were a few years in her life in which she dictated that Christmas gifts be wrapped in a certain color scheme” and who has a passion for stationary and paper crafted home décor. She tells Paper Crafts her most memorable project was created at age 16, a 4′ x 6′ corkboard with “funky wrapping paper sectioned off with paper frames and other layers of paper to highlight different aspects of her life.”
Best of luck to Stacy in her new position with CK Media, and congratulations to Jennifer on joining Paper Crafts. It will be exciting to see what she can bring to the publication in the future. | <urn:uuid:976b9101-a5fe-4370-be16-a974d739315a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.scrapbookupdate.com/2008/08/11/ | 2017-11-20T15:24:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.968069 | 372 | [

Bought this ring as a pre- engagement ring for my partner and she loved it. The only problem was the size it was about a half size too big and she loved it so much she refused to let me send it back to get the correct size. The ring cannot be re sized which is a little bit of a bummer but over all it is a great product and I loved it and so does she. I will also like I stated before be needing to buy a sterling silver polisher because it has gotten scratched up quite a bit on the underside of the ring just from general wear.Read More
This ring is much more beautiful than the picture! It is not as black, more of a dark graphite grey, but the stones have so much sparkle which does not show in the picture. It is a quality piece of jewellery and looks very expensive. I love it!!Read More
We have been very pleased with this ring. It's very sparkly! And heavy. She is getting a lot of compliments on it.Read More
Couldn't be happier with the appearance. I did not have the experience of one reviewer who said the black faded after a few washings. Beautiful and, at first it was comfortable, but after wearing for a few weeks I developed a bad rash on my finger under where the stones are. I would have thought SS would be benign but because it's slightly concave under where the stones are the only thing I can think of is that water got trapped in there and eventually bacteria. Either that or I'm allergic to SS.Read More
After 2 years of wearing this ring almost daily, it is still elegant but can be casual enough for daily wear. Great quality. True to size and description.Read More
I bought the ring so I could have another wedding band. I have feel in love with it.Read More

This is a ladies ring available in sizes 4-10. As is seen in the second image, the stones go all around the band with the exception of the very bottom portion.

In the March 2007 “FDA Patient Safety News Show”, concerns about drug eluting stents were discussed. The FDA show is designed for health professions to provide safety information and news alerts. The portion of the show discussing concerns about drug coated stents was posted on the FDA website today.
In December 2006, an FDA advisory panel was convened to discuss medicated stent concerns which have existed among cardiologists since recent studies indicated the small wire devices are associated with an increased risk of blood clots when compared with older bare metal stents.
>>INFORMATION: Drug eluting stent concerns
The FDA show indicates that the Cypher stent and Taxus stent were approved because they may reduce the rate of re-clogging of the arteries, known as vessel restenosis. However, problems caused by the medicated coating actually increases the risk of potentially fatal blood clots, which many believe is a much greater concern than restenosis.
The increased risk of blood clots in drug eluding stints could continue for several years after the device is placed in the artery. Therefore, the FDA panel emphasized the importance of patients remaining on antiplatelet medications for at least twelve months after the surgery, despite the fact that prior recommendations by the stent makers was for patients to remain on three to six months of anti-clotting therapy.
For many patients who have received the devices, their biggest concern about drug coated stents is why the manufacturers failed to warn of the dangers associated with their product. Had the problems been disclosed, physicians may have recommended alternate treatment such as bypass surgery, medication or bare metal stents.
Now that safety concerns are known, experts are stressing that physicians should only implant the stints for clinically stable patients and in patients who are able to stay on antiplatelet therapy for a long time. Before the safety concerns surrounding drug coated stents were disclosed, the vast majority of all stents implanted were “off-label”, for more complex conditions, which increases the risk of blood clots further. In addition, many patients who received the stents were not properly educated about the importance of continuing long-term antiplatelet therapy, which could reduce the risk of potentially fatal injuries.
DRUG ELUTING STENT LEGAL RIGHTS
Individuals who received a medicated stent and suffered a blood clot, reclogging of the artery or heart attack, may be entitled to financial compensation as a result of the manufacturer’s failure to warn of the stent problems. The drug eluting stent lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. represent individuals nationwide who have been injured. To protect your family’s rights, request a free stent lawsuit claim evaluation. | <urn:uuid:1004bb6e-28b1-4158-876e-4a8c0491930c> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.youhavealawyer.com/blog/2007/03/02/drug-eluting-stent-concerns/ | 2017-11-20T15:37:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806070.53/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120145722-20171120165722-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.971301 | 563 | [

I am so OCD. We are using Sonlight Curriculum and my girls somehow got whopperjawed (is that really a word?) in regards to what week they were on. Angel just ended week 8 and the Curly completely missed a read-a-loud book and was only half way through with week 8. Now I do know that you do not have to do all the read-a-louds, but this is one I really wanted to do. I had a lapbook for it and everything (insert whining here). SO after completing the other work for week 8, I decided to just do the book and let Angel listen along while she watercolored (her new most favorite thing to do). Tonight we read the first 3 chapters and worked on the elements that corresponded with those chapters. We learned that the Emperor Penguin was the tallest and heaviest bird, the Marconi Penguin has the biggest population, and the Galapagos Penguin in the most endangered. Oh and there are 17 types of penguins. I look forward to posting the pictures of the completed lapbook.

This top is the perfect example of spring style: loose fit, stripes, buttons, and bell sleeves. It pairs perfectly with my white distressed denim and gold wedges. I added some gold accents to dress up the look a little bit. I can’t wait to continue to style this top into the summer.

The Health Service Executive (HSE) has awarded Eircom a €2m contract to house all key systems for HSE hospitals, offices and clinics nationwide.
The National Health Data Centre will house all key systems for HSE hospitals and health service offices nationwide, including hospital clinical applications, administrative and email systems.
The centre will also be home to the central data repository for the HSE’s upcoming national medical imaging project.
The new National Health Data Centre will be housed in Eircom’s new next-generation data centre at Clonshaugh, which it leases from Digital Realty Trust. Eircom has invested over €100m in the new data centre.
While the HSE has previously co-located individual applications in data centres, the national data centre initiative marks the start of a rollout of key national ICT programmes for the HSE.
The National Health Data Centre will assist the HSE in its drive to gain better efficiency, value and business support from the ICT systems that facilitate delivery of health and social services to more than 4.3 million people in Ireland.
"The success of the HSE ICT Strategy depends on the provision of a robust platform and architecture, upon which critical services can be better managed,” says Gerard Hurl, National ICT Director, HSE.
“The establishment of the National Health Data Centre in partnership with Eircom is significant as it not only provides a best-in-class platform to help us to deliver on this objective, but also meets our cost and efficiency targets”,.
The National Health Data Centre also aligns to the National Health Network provided by Eircom, which delivers LAN-speed bandwidth to HSE locations and connects them back to the Data Centre.
The National Health Network and Data Centre will together facilitate the consolidation of applications and in the longer-term the delivery of shared ICT services nationally.
“Eircom’s 120,000 sq foot Clonshaugh facility doubles the company’s data centre capacity and links with Eircom’s existing data centres in Dublin (Citywest and Crown Alley) over Eircom’s high-speed next-generation IP network,” explains Colm Hoban, director, Corporate Markets, Eircom.
“The HSE joins a growing customer list, including the Department of Transport (Motor Tax Online), Phonovation, AXA Insurance, Hostopia and other key customers operating in key sectors such as health, education and technology. Eircom anticipates further growth in data centre services.”
Eircom’s team worked closely with the HSE National ICT Directorate and key hardware suppliers to the HSE to migrate the key systems in scope, to the National Health Data Centre.
The data centre is equipped with the latest power, cooling, fire suppression and biometric security measures to protect customers’ systems, including those using new, power-hungry hardware such as blade servers. The centre has been designed to be energy efficient, minimising power consumption by using the ambient external temperature to assist in cooling.
In addition to co-location services, Eircom’s “carrier neutral” data centre at Clonshaugh provides delivers managed services, including managed ICT security and managed SAP.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy appears to be going through one of those turbulent dips in the ongoing maturation process of a talented young player.
The 22-year old played 2:37 over four shifts in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final, which the Blackhawks won 6-5 in overtime against the Boston Bruins to even the best-of-7 series 2-2 heading into Saturday’s Game 5 at United Center (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, RDS).
Leddy took one shift in the first period, two in the first nine minutes of the second, and one early in the OT that lasted 12 seconds.
After the game, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said Leddy was fine from a health perspective. Quenneville was again asked Thursday about the decision to sit Leddy so long.
"In the course of a game, I think every game is different," Quenneville said. "We went into the game, I think we were waiting to see how things played out, certain matchups you're looking for in the course of a game. And we're on the road, sometimes you can't get it, and sometimes the score reflects it, and sometimes you get deeper in the game and you're going to wait and see -- but I think that was probably the case last night with the lead. Later in the game we didn't go to him too much, but we'll definitely visit with him as we go along here before the next game."
Sticking with the matchups notion for such a dramatic drop in ice time, Quenneville said Leddy might get over the boards more often in Game 5, when the coach can dictate who plays against whom more easily as the home team.
"Nick gives us a nice presence on the back end, gives us nice balance," Quenneville said. "We didn't play him a ton [Wednesday] night, obviously not much, but … we'll be home [Saturday]. We look to get him back going."
This isn’t a one-game anomaly. Leddy’s playing time has steadily decreased throughout the 2013 Stanley Cup Playoffs, starting with Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals against the Minnesota Wild.
Minnesota, Leddy’s hometown team and the franchise that traded his signing rights to Chicago in 2010, won that game in overtime for its lone victory in the five-game series. Leddy finished with a minus-1 rating and played 16:42 over 25 shifts, after playing more than 20 minutes and close to 30 shifts in the first two games, each a Blackhawks home win.
The only time Leddy has played more than 20 minutes since that game was in Game 1 of this series against the Bruins, logging 26 minutes over 36 shifts and finishing with a plus-2 rating in Chicago’s 4-3 triple-overtime victory.
Prior to Wednesday, Leddy hadn’t played less than 10 minutes in a game since logging 8:38 in a 2-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on May 23 at Joe Louis Arena, a defeat that dropped the Blackhawks into a 3-1 hole in the conference semifinals.
Leddy also didn’t play on any of Chicago’s four power plays in Game 4 of the Final, another tough playoff first for him to stomach. Already in his third NHL postseason, Leddy is still finding out the learning curve for young defensemen -- even the most talented -- is steep and challenging.
He isn’t the only lineup stalwart to land in Quenneville’s doghouse, if, indeed, that’s the reason for his in-game benching Wednesday. Forward Viktor Stalberg has found himself out of the playing rotation to start two of Chicago’s postseason series, including the first two games of the Cup Final, after playing 47 of 48 regular-season games and all five games of each series against Minnesota and the Los Angeles Kings.
"It's not easy to keep your confidence and then go out there and be prepared for the next shift or to go and do your job when maybe you haven't been on the ice for quite a while," Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. "There's some guys that maybe get their minutes or their opportunities reduced here and there, guys like [Stalberg] and [Leddy]. You try to talk to those guys just to stay with it because you know when they're out there they can really make a difference for us. That's a huge sacrifice that guys like that have to make for our team, and we know mentally they're going to be ready, and those sacrifices aren't going unnoticed by their teammates." | <urn:uuid:f8726bd8-298c-4b05-9e37-50437a90d990> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.nhl.com/blackhawks/news/blackhawks-likely-to-use-leddy-more-in-game-5/c-674760 | 2017-11-22T05:48:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806465.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122050455-20171122070455-00080.warc.gz | en | 0.977674 | 970 | [
