Wetland restoration projects provide opportunities to regain the ecosystem services that have been lost or degraded through land conversions. Differences in the rate of ecosystem service recovery following restoration can affect the balance of trade-offs among land uses, but our understanding of ecosystem service recovery following restoration is limited.
Based in the Centre for Biodiversity and Restoration Ecology, at Victoria University of Wellington, this PhD will engage with the Wetlands for People and Place project (https://www.victoria.ac.nz/sbs/research-centres-institutes/centre-biodiversity-restoration-ecology/research/ecological-restoration/wetlands-for-people-and-place) , a multidisciplinary effort of the Centre to understand the human and biophysical drivers of successful wetland restorations. The PhD student will work at the plot-scale over a chronosequence of wetland restoration sites to evaluate plant and soil traits and ecosystems service provisioning.
Applicants must have excellent academic records to be competitive for a Victoria University of Wellington PhD scholarship (minimum GPA 8 on a 9 point scale), and meet all other entrance requirements to the PhD programme at VUW (https://www.victoria.ac.nz/study/apply-enrol/admissions). Applications for this position are open to individuals of any nationality or gender. It is the successful applicant’s responsibility to secure a student visa to New Zealand. Good health and physical fitness are requirements of the field work component of the project. A strong background in field based ecology is essential while some experience with Geographic Information Systems is considered an asset for this project.
The successful applicant will be funded through a competitive Victoria University of Wellington PhD scholarship. Applicants must have excellent academic records to be competitive, minimum GPA of 8 on a 9 point scale. | 2019-04-19T08:44:32 | https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/how-does-restoration-alter-plant-traits-ecosystem-multifunctionality-and-service-provisioning-in-wetlands/?p100003 |
Known as a kind soul in life, he was a wise and gentle Gnome. For many hundreds of years he was one of the most well respected and loved members of the Gnome community.
Now he’s a vicious cannibal savage, in capable of thoughts, emotions or feelings. He’s now driven by his one and only need.
And feed he does. Consuming brains like a fiend with the munchies and chomping down Gnome flesh like Fried Chicken from the Colonel.
Necroneckbeard is the face of the undead!
He stands 14in tall, weighs 10lbs and is cast in solid gypsm cement.
Hand-casted, hand-painted, hand-eating and handmade.
He will infect your household and garden like a plague.
Each of these mythical walking corpses are sculpted meticulously in water/oil clay, casted in rock solid premium grade gypsum cement. Then hand-painted to bring out all of their ghoulish detail (and to ensure that no two are exactly the same). Lastly, they are each coated in a high gloss outdoor sealer to prevent any further decay and to help these carnivorous cadavers withstand the elements in their continuous hunt for human flesh. | 2019-04-18T22:52:11 | https://revenantfx.com/index.php/product/necro-neckbeard-zombie-gnome-11/ |
I would have no need for a doggie door if I came back to that....dog would be gone.
Lol. DW said dog would need to be “re-homed”, I said that would be doggie heaven.
My first instinct would be to send the little critter to doggie heaven.
But it's not his fault. He was probably freaking out about being left in an unfamiliar environment. High energy dog + little to no training + unfamiliar environment = disaster.
Yup. I bet that before the 'breakout', the dog had warned them by unsuccessfully scratching at doors.
At least the dog is not a runner, he is still home. | 2019-04-19T06:57:47 | https://www.jaycoowners.com/forums/f26/doggie-door-in-trailer-61982.html |

‘No home without energy’ is the aim of ECODES, a Spanish NGO that recognises the importance of connecting everyone across the fuel poverty ecosystem – starting with those at home.
In Spain, 15% of households—some 7 million people—struggle to keep up with energy bills, whether trying to stay warm in winter or cool in summer.
ECODES has visited more than 2 000 homes to learn about their situations and to help lower energy consumption and reduce costs. A questionnaire on its website is available to anyone; after collecting social, household and energy contract data, it delivers personalised advice about how to take action.
Importantly, an interactive map lets site visitors connect to programmes designed to tackle fuel poverty in their own city or region. The system also creates stronger links among social agencies, health care professionals, energy efficiency advisors and others, meaning they can offer more holistic assistance to vulnerable households.
Cecilia Foronda, Sustainable Cities Manager of ECODES, is one of five winners among 15 finalists in the Social Innovation to Tackle Fuel Poverty Initiative, launched by the Schneider Electric Foundation, the Ashoka Foundation, and Enel Group. Check out her video interview to learn more. | 2019-04-21T06:58:36 | http://www.coldathome.today/energy-diary/socinn4nrg/in-spain-ni-un-hogar-sin-energia |

©2007 Laird Barron (P)2017 Audible, Inc.
This collection was superb! I will always be a fan of Laird Barron!. I look forward to his next collection!
Let me guess... ancient evil.
This is the third Barron book I've read. Two novels and this collection of short stories. He writes well but he's a one trick pony. Every story - and I mean literally every one - is the same as the previous one except with new characters in a different location. Ancient evil in the jungle, ancient evil in the desert, ancient evil in China, ancient evil in a cave, and so it goes on. And on top of that the stories are inconclusive and unsatisfying. Someone encounters an ancient evil in *insert location here* and ends up in a bad way, probably.
The narration by Ray Porter is exceptional.
This is an excellent audio book, Laird Barron's tales are gritty, dark, horrifying and really, really well written. Ray Parker is perfectly suited to narrating these wonderfully dark and thought provoking stories. His vocal/character range is amazing. Top Notch! 10/10 all round. | 2019-04-19T11:00:56 | https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Imago-Sequence-Audiobook/B077KLKXP7 |
The suspect continued fleeing through a nearby neighborhood and wound up outside the Placer sheriff’s substation at 6140 Horseshoe Bar Road. The substation was closed for the Martin Luther King holiday, but two additional deputies who had responded to the call encountered the man in the gravel parking lot outside the building.
More shots were exchanged, and this time the suspect was hit. Erwin said it wasn’t clear if one or both deputies shot him.
The man, identified as Rodney J. Hance, 49, of Fresno, was taken to Sutter Roseville Medical Center. Erwin said he was in serious condition.
Erwin said the incident may have stemmed from a domestic dispute. The suspect had come to Loomis to meet his ex-wife, who had arrived with friends.
The woman in the truck with the suspect was identified as a 25-year-old woman from Madera. Erwin said deputies were still investigating the nature of her relationship with the suspect. She was being detained for questioning. | 2019-04-21T02:56:27 | https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/crime/article55281330.html |

The Medicare Gap plans in Montana are no different from any other plan in any other state. With the Medicare Supplement plans they are standardized which means that no matter what insurance company you go with the plan benefits will not change. One good thing about the Medicare Supplement plans are that you can go to any doctor you want as long as they accept Medicare. If they accept Medicare they have to accept your Medicare Supplement plan no matter what. There are 3 plans that I recommend to all of my clients, Plans F, G, or N.
Medigap Plan F is the best plan that you can get. With this plan you are 100% covered after Medicare pays their part. The only thing you would be responsible for is a monthly premium. You would have no deductibles, no copayments, and no coinsurance.
Medigap Plan G is the second best plan that you can sign up for in the Medicare world. With this plan you will have the monthly premium, and you will also be responsible for the Part B deductible of $166 per year. This plan is going to be cheaper per month than the plan F even though you still have the Part B deductible. Sometimes it can even save you money per year even with the deductible.
Plan N is a little different from the other two plans. With this plan you will still have a monthly premium along with the Part B deductible per year. You are 100% covered on your Part A of Medicare. If you have plan N or choose the Plan N then when you go to the doctor you might have up to a $20 copay you will have to pay. If you go to the Emergency Room you may have up to a $50 copay if you don’t get admitted into the hospital.
For more information and quotes for the Medicare Supplement plans please feel free to give us a call here at 1-800-Medigap/1-800-633-4427. We are licensed brokers so we can look at multiple companies to see who if offering the cheapest rate for these plans.
Medicare has several parts for coverage. Part A, Part B, Part C, And Part D. and the Medigap Plans. Once an individual turns 65 they may qualify for certain Medicare benefits and services. Medigap Insurance can start as soon as Part B coverage is in place. Medicare Part A helps cover against catastrophic events, in patient care in hospital, skilled nursing facility, hospice, and home health care. An average knee replacement, hip replacement or heart attack can cost you forty thousand dollars or more, in most cases leaving you with eight thousand dollars or more to pay. Medigap can help cover that risk for you. Medicare Part B helps cover doctors, and other health care provider services, hospital out patient care, durable medical equipment, and home health care. Also many preventive services to help maintain your health, and keep certain illnesses from getting worse. Part D medicare helps lower and cover your drug prescription costs. Lets not forget about Part C.

ISLAMABAD – In a meeting of Standing committee of Cabinet division on Tuesday, it was revealed that the of education institutes in Islamabad have smoking rooms.
During the briefing, it was revealed that the education departments hide all the events of drug abuse and private parties to save the image of the institution.
According to the correspondent of Pakistantribe, SSP Sajid Kayani briefed Senate on Tuesday in a meeting.
He said that Police is in search of the drug resources, in past four months department have arrested 315 alleged persons involved in the supply of drugs, 23 were directly involved in the supply of drugs to students.
It should be noticed that the federal government is trying to emit the drug abuse from the capital city and also around the country.
Sajid Kayani said that whenever we burst the smugglers we investigate whether he is supplying it to the students or not, in a question about Quaid – e – Azam university drug supply case he said we are investigating the matter. | 2019-04-18T10:16:04 | http://www.raah.tv/smoking-rooms-private-parties-islamabads-educational-institutes/ |
Home - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Cheers to the ultimate backyard.
The Epic Adult Day Camp Returns!
Go bold and make tonight a hazy one.
Our “Hop Torpedo” amps up aromas of citrus, pine, and tropical fruit.
Freedom’s in the wild places, and so are the best beers you’ve ever had. After skiing the slopes, reaching the summit, setting up camp—crack one open to celebrate. Scout our lineup to find what you’ll pack next.
Heavy on hops, that was always the brewery plan. So in 1980, we loaded Pale Ale up with Cascade—a new hop at the time named after the mountain range—and the intense aromas of pine and citrus sparked the American craft beer revolution.
Ken Grossman ditched the city whenever he could. Going off-grid, that’s where he found thrills and life’s answers. Climbing in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Ken’s bold idea took shape: build a brewery. Naming it would be easy.
Our breweries are craft beer getaways: artisan food, live music, brewhouse tours, outdoor lounging. And since beer’s better with friends, who’s coming with you?
Beneath our towering copper kettles are the roots of American craft beer. This is where flavor turned a corner and never looked back. If you smell hops, you’re close.
Mixed in with Fourth Street’s busy shops, the Torpedo Room is our neighborhood hangout that brings our brewery spirit to the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our East Coast location is a jaw-dropping retreat off the beaten path. The half-mile driveway carves through forest to reveal our hidden home—part brewery, part park. | 2019-04-19T16:44:15 | https://sierranevada.com/ |

The most advisable route for selling your home in need of repairs is to take the time to fix up all the impending issues. However, not everyone has the time or budget to make widespread repairs. You may find yourself in a position where you need to sell your California home fast. Thankfully, you do have a couple options that may help you side step full scale renovation. Take a look!
If you plan to sell on the traditional market, you may not be able to get away with selling your home as-is. So, take inventory of your home and make a list of all the repairs that are needed. Take the most necessary items that would scare off buyers or the repairs that are needed to meet safety standards. With those standards met, you have a higher chance of selling your home. Just be sure to leave the electrical and plumbing repairs to the professionals.
With great marketing, anything is possible. A California home in need of a lot of repairs can also be seen as a great opportunity for customization. You can attempt to convince prospective buyers that your home is actually a remodeling gem. They can become their own Chip and Joanna Gaines and make the house of their dreams out of the beautiful bones of your old home. It’s all about advertising to the right market. Just keep in mind that this will require a great deal of effort and a solid amount of time to find the right buyer.
It’s possible to side step repairs completely if you offer to pay for some of the repairs. You will likely have to pay for a decent chunk of the expenses, some suggest even up to half. Admittedly, this is an expensive option. It absolves you of the actual labor but you would be paying for repairs on a home where you won’t be living.
While these options may help you sell your home, they don’t ensure that your home will be sold fast. That’s why our favorite option is selling to a reputable California cash buyer. No matter what condition your home is in, a cash buyer will make you a no-obligation offer. Just contact us and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. If you like the offer, we can start the closing process. In as little as 10 days you can walk away with cash in your hand for your home. | 2019-04-21T10:19:19 | https://www.homehelpersgroup.com/blog/selling-your-california-home-in-need-of-repairs/ |
ARGUABLY ONE OF BRITAIN’S GREATEST CLIMBERS.
He has undertaken nineteen Himalayan expeditions, including four to Mount Everest which he climbed in 1985 at the age of fifty, and has made many first ascents in the Alps and greater ranges of the world. Along the way we will be fascinated by his many daring climbs, near-death adventures, and the many luminaries of the mountain fraternity he has climbed with, and in some cases – witness their deaths on the rock. The mercurial Dougal Haston; the legendary-tough Don Whillans, the philosopher of the rock Stephen Venables, and the enigmatic Doug Scott, plus many more – this is an expert’s opinion on the past sixty years of British/ world mountaineering.
In Ascent Chris also discusses his first wife (Wendy) who tragically passed away after a long battle with motor neuron disease – his many years of caring for her, and then in his twilight years deciding to return to an iconic climb from his past – The Old Man of Hoy – to summit at the age of 80 years of age. He has now also found love again amidst the sadness and grief. It is a truly inspirational tale. | 2019-04-24T20:27:45 | http://www.bookabookshop.co.uk/shop/ascent-chris-bonington-signed-copy/ |

Chaco Canyon was the center of a regionally integrated system. Despite a century of research, questions remain about its rise and fall, and the role of human-environment interactions. The answers may lie in current events and new tools and perspectives.
Figure 1: The regional system centered on Chaco Canyon, but associated “outlier” communities populated the western half of the San Juan Basin. Distant areas like the Chuska Mountains were far richer in timber and other resources than Chaco Canyon at the time, as they are now.
Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico, USA, boasts a spectacular array of prehistoric ruins, meriting status as a US National Historical Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. First excavated 120 years ago, Chaco Canyon may be the most-studied archaeological site in the USA, motivating hundreds of publications and even its own queryable archive and database (www.chacoarchive.org/cra/). The desolate canyon, a marginal and unpredictable environment, supported the Ancient Puebloans in developing a complex society and regionally integrated system that, at its nadir in the 11th century, was centered on Chaco and spanned >50,000 km2 (Fig. 1). In popular literature, Chaco’s genesis inspires awe - “a dazzling show of wealth and power in a treeless desert” (Fernández-Armesto 2001) - while its collapse stirs deep reflection about “environmental impact and climate change intersecting” (Diamond 2005).
Despite more than a century of focused research, there are still many unanswered questions (e.g. Plog and Heitman 2010). The Chaco Phenomenon emerged quickly ~AD 850 from dispersed rural communities subsisting on maize, beans and squash, flourished for a few centuries, then collapsed between AD 1130 and 1150. In its heyday, the Chaco Phenomenon was distinguished by planned architecture of multistoried great houses; shared ceramic traditions and rituals; intensive agriculture and sophisticated water-control features; long-distance trade of luxury items (cacao, macaw and parrot feathers, copper bells, turquoise, and seashells); and an extensive network of well-constructed roads.
Today, Chaco is deficient in natural resources (Fig. 1), giving rise to the idea that Chaco Society was a regionally integrated system that relied on resource-rich areas and outlying communities. Chaco could have acted as a center for storage and redistribution of surplus food, particularly maize, by a small and elite population housed in the canyon, or as a religious center into which food and other goods flowed during pilgrimages that reinforced system-wide religious authority. Others counter that Chaco looked very different 1,000 years ago, and was a productive agricultural center able to sustain a large population throughout most of its three-century tenure. These differing perspectives on the Canyon’s environment and its social structure lead to widely ranging population estimates during the Chaco Phenomenon, from <10,000 to >100,000 people (Minnis 2015).
Figure 2: Local climates and timber extraction. Precipitation-sensitive tree-ring-width chronologies from the Chuska and Zuni Mountains show sub-regional differences in the timing, duration and severity of drought. One period (AD 1007-1026; grey shading) coincides with the arrival of Chuska timbers to Chaco Canyon. The 12th century megadrought (AD 1130-1150; red shading) probably initiated collapse at Chaco and was longer and deeper in the Chuskas than the Zunis. Bold lines in the top three panels are seven-year running averages. The third panel shows the difference between the Chuska and Zuni tree-ring chronologies. Data from Guiterman et al. (2016).
The Ancient Puebloans at Chaco quarried sandstone blocks and logged hundreds of thousands of trees, mostly big conifers that do not grow locally today, to build the dozen or more great houses, considered the largest buildings in North America north of Mexico until the 19th century. Plant macrofossils from packrat middens on the canyon slopes showed that ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), the main architectural timber, grew locally only as scattered individuals during the late Holocene - not enough to sustain architectural needs (Betancourt and Van Devender 1981). Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii) and subalpine fir (probably Abies lasiocarpa), which made up a quarter of the architectural wood (Betancourt et al. 1986), last grew in the canyon 12,000 years ago, and must have been logged from mountaintops >75 km away. Tree-growth patterns show that, prior to AD 1020, nearly all of the timber was procured from the Zuni Mountains >80 km to the southwest (Guiterman et al. 2016). Later during the mid-11th century Chacoan fluorescence, both tree-growth patterns and strontium isotopes indicate that most of the timber came from the Chuska Mountains >75 km to the west (English et al. 2001; Reynolds et al. 2005; Guiterman et al. 2016). This shift in tree sources is associated with nearly two decades of drought conditions in the Zunis that were apparently less marked in the Chuskas (Fig. 2). Along with timber, the Chuskas were a major source for stone tools, pottery and maize. The area also emerges as a primary resource for deer, rabbits and prairie dogs consumed at Chaco (Grimstead et al. 2016).
While timber and other resources were clearly procured from long distances, fuelwood was available locally. The packrat midden record shows persistent and ubiquitous pinyon pine throughout the late Holocene until it was locally extirpated between AD 700 and 1500. To this day, pinyon populations show no sign of recovery. So the question is not just what caused pinyon’s extirpation, but also what has prevented its recovery? The explanation could well involve climate or woodcutting. Under a woodcutting scenario (Samuels and Betancourt 1982), Chacoans could have easily wiped out the woodland in a couple centuries, likely pushing firewood gathering to more distant stands, including nearby Chacra Mesa. Ultimately, this could have reduced nearby seed sources from which local pinyon populations could regenerate.
Impacts of the recent 2000s drought in the region underscore a climate explanation. Over the last two decades, severe droughts in western USA have resulted in widespread and synchronized ecological disturbances, including wildfires, pine beetle outbreaks, and tree die-offs (Williams et al. 2013). These events have inspired a flurry of research on the impacts of hotter drought associated with anthropogenic warming, but both archaeologists and paleoecologists, including the authors, are currently revisiting the enigmatic ecological footprints of past droughts. Could pinyon at its lower and dry limits in Chaco Canyon have been wiped out by the mid-12th century megadrought? Occurring during the height of the unusually dry Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA; AD 900-1300), the mid-12th century megadrought far exceeded the severity, duration and extent of subsequent droughts (Woodhouse et al. 2010). Although ecological impacts are less well-documented, we do know that this, and other MCA droughts, synchronized extensive wildfires from California (Swetnam et al. 2009) to Colorado (Calder et al. 2015). It is likely that these droughts also produced widespread tree die-offs. As part of an ongoing study to assess past ecological disturbances in the Chuska Mountains, one of us (CHG; unpublished data) sampled over 1000 trees and found only eight that were established before AD 1150, with just three trees surviving the mid-12th century megadrought, which was apparently more severe in the Chuskas than in the Zuni Mountains to the south (Fig. 2).
Did impacts of the extended mid-12th century drought in the Chuskas have a cascading effect on the Chaco Core and its regional system? Was the shift in sources of architectural timber from the Zuni to the Chuska Mountains around AD 1020 driven by asynchroneity in hydroclimate variability across the region, perhaps related to shifting epicenters of droughts and pluvials? Did sub-regional syn- and asynchroneities in climate and ecosystems, perhaps changing over time, determine Ancestral Puebloan movements initially to Chaco and later to other sites during abandonment? This is precisely the modeling approach taken by Bocinsky and Kohler (2014) in using tree-ring data to model the rain-fed, maize agricultural niche across the US Southwest. The same could be done for other essential resources, which could have shifted dramatically with large and synchronized disturbances driven by drought. Although Chaco Canyon has been well studied, most of the excavations and the published literature happened in the 20th century. The prospects for new research at the intersection of human impacts and climate change are not only exciting but in order. | 2019-04-26T02:09:41 | http://www.pages-igbp.org/products/pages-magazine/7411 |
In the stylistic world that has become the modern age of technology it a blessing and a curse to be so connected all the time. One of the obvious downsides is it leads you to a less conscious way of living, accepting things as they are, and almost seem to fall into this mode of just running on autopilot. Today Peter Minkoff has written a fabulous guest post and is sharing a few tips to help you on your way to achieving the art of consciously living.
Conscious living is not an easy feat. In a lot of situations we simply do things instinctively without putting much thought in what we are doing and when. And if you want to live a conscious life this aspect has to change, and we need to start being aware of what we are thinking, how we are feeling, and about creating a life that we want rather then just going with the flow and accepting our own circumstances. Balancing all of this is truly an art form in its own right. And this article will help you understand it better and maybe even teach you how apply it in the right way.
The first step in conscious living is becoming aware of yourself and the world around you. You need this in order to see which aspects of your life are on autopilot and which ones you are in control of. It is crucial that you take the time to explore yourself, figure out what kind of a person you are right now and who you want to be. And as soon as we start being aware of our thoughts, actions and our surroundings, we will be able to make conscious decisions about all of those aspects, instead of letting our unconscious mind control them. This will help you feel in control of your life and make some of the choices a lot easier and at the same time more effective. So wake up, and smell the coffee!
It is not an overnight change. It takes time and effort but the results can be staggering. Start by changing up the little things, and putting some extra thought into some things you without thinking. Take for example gift giving, it is an excellent way to practices both awareness and thoughtfulness. First take the time and observe the person you are buying a gift for, try to truly see them and not your unctuous version of who they are supposed to be. Then take the time to choose the perfect gift, you could go for some memorable and funny gifts that will make them laugh, and introduce a bit of happiness. Again, be aware of the the emotions you cause in others, this will help you adjust and improve on your relationships both at work and in your private life.
Conscious living allows us to take charge of our lives. Knowing where we want to be and what we want to achieve can help us steer our lives in the direction we want to go. So strat off by reviewing your past actions and decisions, and try to figure out which of those were intentional and thought through and which were just an instinctive response to a situation. This will provide you with a clear picture of what you life has been so far. Now it is time for a change. First start off my reflection on your daily routine, if it is easier for you, you can keep a journal and right down some of the daily essentials, that way you can review your thought process as well as your daily decision making routine. Next, go a bit wider and see the goals you have set for yourself. Have you achieved them, how long did it take, have you given up, and why. These will all help you get to know yourself better, and that in return will be the driving power for making conscious lifestyle choices from this point forward.
So there you have it, a conscious lifestyle is truly an art form. It is necessary for us to view all the aspects of our current life in order to make a change, but having the knowledge and perspective that this manner of living our lives allows us to can improve on the overall quality of our life. By getting to know ourselves and taking the time to see what drives us we can have a fuller life, better relationships, more fun and most importantly, quality self reflection. And that is essential for experiencing growth as an individual. | 2019-04-25T18:20:15 | http://www.atouchofsoutherngrace.com/2018/06/guest-post-art-of-conscious-living.html |

The Grenades shown in the movie are small, light, and extremely powerful; as such, there is no reason that the Marines could not simply throw them at the Aliens. The maximum range is 8 squares, mostly because the ceilings are far too low to actually throw the Grenades very hard. As with launched Grenades, they automatically land in the square they are aimed at. It takes 6 Actions to arm and throw a Grenade. | 2019-04-18T19:10:19 | http://www.aliensrpg.com/rules/throwing-grenades |
“I’m gluten-free” is likely the most polarizing statement in the health community today. Progressive practitioners (and their clients) devoutly stand by the role gluten can play in inflammation and overall immunity, while conventional medicine dismisses its legitimacy and even condemns the “dangers” of a gluten-free diet outside of a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease.
Mainstream media has dutifully played its role by jumping on the topic and constantly feeding us the hype, and then rejoicing in the opportunity to run a follow-up feature with the gluten-free tag as the villain. But as with most stories, there are three sides: His, hers, and the truth. And in this case, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
For the most part, gluten’s overexposure — and the awareness it brings — is positive. All press is good press — especially when it brings to light the fact that gluten is linked to over 50 different disease states.
It is estimated that about 1% of Americans have celiac disease (CD). But, for every one person with CD, there are an estimated six or seven people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). For this population, it has been shown that there is a 35–72% increased risk of death (primarily due to cancer, heart and respiratory disease, but other causes are at play here as well). Unfortunately, due to the lag in recognition by conventional medicine, it takes on average five physicians and 10–11 years to diagnose a gluten sensitivity and it is estimated that 99% of those with a gluten sensitivity still are not aware of it.
So what IS gluten, how do you avoid it, and why would you want to?
All foods are made up of three macronutrients — carbohydrate, protein and fat. Gluten is the protein complex that exists in grains, namely wheat, rye, spelt, and barley.
Gluten is a very large protein and it is very difficult to digest. In fact, the human body doesn’t completely digest gluten at all. Gluten provides structure and elasticity for baked goods, but there are many concerns with the way our conventional, gluten-containing grains are processed and harvested today that make them especially harmful. Linking back to Chapter 3, we’re talking about the use of bromate for quick rising (a possible carcinogen) and glyphosate herbicides to expedite the harvesting process and increase the yield.
If your body is not completely breaking down gluten, protein peptides can form and act on opiate receptors in the brain, mimicking the effects of drugs like heroin or morphine, creating cravings and/ or an addiction to more of the gluten-containing food.
Common sense would indicate (correctly) that this doesn’t sound beneficial to anyone, but for some, it creates a whole world of hurt.
For people with inflammatory, chronic conditions (autoimmune or otherwise) and a disruption in their microbiome, gluten is especially problematic, because their body will have a harder time digesting it. It sits there bored in the intestine for a minute, then before it has had enough time to marinate in the proper digestive juices, it sneaks out through the tennis net gut lining and starts stumbling around. Eventually — and unfortunately — it can get into the bloodstream, and set itself up in various systems within the body depending on the specific genetic predisposition. At this point, the undigested food particle is seen as a foreign invader and the always-at-the-ready immune system attacks, resulting in an inflammatory response.
Even if your microbiome is right as rain, you’re not exempt, as consuming high amounts of gluten can lead to future problems. Remember, when anyone eats gluten, it causes the release of a protein called zonulin, which unzips the tight junctions that hold together a currently intact intestinal lining. That is, it can create a leaky gut.
In autoimmune disease, messages get crossed. When triggered by a foreign invader, the immune system gets confused and starts to attack its bodies’ own tissues. Which specific tissues, or systems, get attacked depends on the genetic predisposition. For example, with rheumatoid arthritis, joints are attacked. With multiple sclerosis, the central nervous system is attacked, with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, the thyroid is attacked.
The conventional treatment for autoimmune disease is to suppress the immune system with drugs. However, a more progressive approach is to identify and eliminate the source that is triggering the immune system. One of the biggest triggers is food sensitivities, with gluten at the top of the list.
Gluten is no joke. And if you find you do have a sensitivity, and you want to feel better, gluten is likely something you will need to say farewell to forever. For those concerned with the conventional-minded headlines about the dangers of the gluten-free diet, I have a newsflash of my own: Wheat and gluten are not essential nutrients. We don’t have to consume either as part of a healthy diet. There are approximately zero nutrients exclusive to gluten-containing grains that can’t be found elsewhere.

Response: Genome sequencing is increasingly used in clinical medicine to help make a clinical diagnosis and make predictions about potential future complications. The diagnostic yield and limitations for different indications are still being worked out. We are interested in studying the applications of genome sequencing for chronic kidney diseases. It is estimated that 10% of adults have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and amongst them, 10% are caused by single-gene (Mendelian) forms of disease.
The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics developed guidelines on how to interpret genetic variants in order to make a genetic diagnosis. Our lab has been engaged in studying the yield and impact of genetic testing for CKD, and in the course of our research, we realized that a very large number of individuals have genetic variants that may be classified as pathogenic based on automated application of the guidelines. However, in majority of these cases, the genetic variant was much too frequent in the population to be plausibly disease-causing or did not match up well with the clinical diagnosis. This led us to wonder about the risk of false-positive genetic diagnosis. To analyze this risk for false-positive genetic diagnosis, we analyzed the genome sequence of 7,974 self-reported healthy adults.
Response: The main finding of the study is that if one utilizes automated application of guidelines, up to 23% of healthy individuals would be classified as having a sequence variant suspicious for genetic kidney disease, which would be higher than the prevalence of CKD itself. This is obviously not plausible.
Most candidate genetic diagnosis originated from old reports of pathogenic variants but with new data available, we know that most of these variants are too frequent in the population to be truly disease-causing. Such variants are still catalogued as disease-causing in databases commonly used by geneticists to annotate sequencing results, potentially leading to misclassification.
Even with much more stringent data analysis, we were still left with 1.3% of healthy persons with a sequence variant suspicious for a genetic kidney disease. This indicated that further diagnostic tests would be required to refute or confirm such candidate genetic diagnoses, potentially initiating many “diagnostic odysseys”, especially in the context of reporting of incidental findings in an otherwise healthy individual.
Response: Like any other test, genetic test results have their limitations. This research illustrates that we can use sequencing to determine whether someone with a clinical diagnosis of CKD has a genetic form of disease, but we still have a lot of work to do before we can make a prediction of genetic kidney disease in an otherwise healthy individual. While our genetic makeup doesn’t change over time, the classification of variants may change. In other words, our understanding of the clinical impact of genetic variants does change as data accumulate. Therefore, clinicians should always use the most updated genetic information and always interpret genetic results in the context of clinical information.
Response: Genetic diagnosis can be extremely helpful for patients, and this paper should NOT prevent anyone from offering genetic testing to their patients. Genetics, like any other field in medicine, has its limitations, and we should simply be aware of them.

During the spring and summer of 2010 evidence was found that otters were using artificial lakes on golf courses in southern Spain as feeding areas. The remains of carp and turtles eaten by the otters were found. The presence of these otters may be influences by distances to and connections with natural habitats of the species. The use of these lakes as a potential feeding area is occurring at a time when there is a great deal of environmental stress in the Mediterranean region.

…except getting ready for college is about way more than buying out the bookstore’s apparel section.
Becoming part of the campus community takes just as much effort as getting into college (though it is a lot more fun). If you want to feel connected to your campus, make memories that last a lifetime, and burst with pride at the mere mention of your school’s name, here’s what you should do.
You may be itching to get on campus, settle into your dorm room, and start meeting people. But move-in day seems so. far. away. Luckily there are a lot of things you can do to start building connections before classes even start.
You should make every effort to attend freshman orientation. It’s a chance for you to get acclimated to campus, learn important start-of-semester info, and meet other accepted students who are all in the same boat as you. Orientation was mandatory for Darin Dabney before she transferred to the University of Central Florida, but she didn’t mind. “It felt really good to be on campus before the start of classes and to know there were people who understood my anxiety about school,” she says.
You can do this before, during, and after orientation. Find your roommate on social media, and search for Facebook groups for incoming freshmen, academic departments, athletic teams, and other groups at your school. That way you’ll be in the know and feel a little more at home when you see familiar faces on campus.
You’ve met your roommate IRL, you’re all moved into your dorm room, and you’re ready to take college by storm. But what should you do first? There are a lot of choices!
Libby, a journalism major, joined the staff of The Gonzaga Bulletin her first day of freshman year as a writer and photographer and has been working her way up ever since. “It’s great to be part of organizations that are related to your major because it knocks on the door of experience, looks good on your résumé, and helps you make like-minded friends,” she says.
Sports might not be a big deal at your school…or they might be everything. “If campus were Earth, basketball is the sun that everything revolves around,” at Gonzaga, according to Libby. Jumping on the school spirit bandwagon creates a bond with other students, staff, and alumni who all have one thing in common: the team.
Another cool tradition is the Spirit Splash at UCF, which has been named a “Best Campus Tradition” by the National Association of Campus Activities. The Splash is part of the Homecoming pep rally where everyone jumps into the Reflecting Pond in front of the library before the big football game.
Time flies when you’re having fun, and your college years will be over before you know it. If you want to look back at your time fondly, you need to put yourself out there, take advantage of what your campus has to offer, and embrace student life and tradition at every opportunity. “You don’t want to look back at college and regret something you missed out on or were too scared to do,” says Libby. | 2019-04-22T22:30:12 | https://www.collegexpress.com/articles-and-advice/student-life/articles/living-campus/accepted-how-to-get-involved-on-your-college-campus/ |
Spring semester is a season of growth for Olivet Institute of Technology, where student enrollment and faculty appointments are among the fastest-rising at Olivet University.
It's likely a result, in part, of the fact that the Institute's majors may have the largest amount of job security, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
According to a Department of Labor press release regarding the thirty fastest-growing U.S. careers, the fastest-growing occupation in the next eight years will be network systems and data communications analysis. A number of computer technology-related jobs also ranked in the top ten.
"Our students pick their majors for three reasons," said William Wong, director for Olivet Institute of Technology. "One, because they think it's useful in advancing Christian mission and ministry; two, it's cool and interesting subject matter; and three, a promising job market….And, right now, career prospects for students are exceptional."
Olivet Institute of Technology provides a wide range of computer and information technology education, and prepares students for careers in a variety of technology-related fields, including data, research, and computing.
This semester, Olivet Institute of Technology also has enhanced its interdisciplinary program with courses that focus on developing specialized skills and knowledge of information technology with particular application to a specific research field of study or practice.
Renamed Olivet Institute of Technology in 2006, the Institute offers students a variety of degree programs featuring coursework and field experiences that involve intensive study of information and technology. | 2019-04-26T13:37:11 | https://oit.olivetuniversity.edu/news/articles/284/oit-program-grows-with-rising-career-opportunities-in-technology.htm |

Former NASA astronaut Frank Culbertson has the distinction of being the only American not on the planet when the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred 13 years ago.
Culbertson was about 250 miles (400 kilometers) above Earth — inside the still-under-construction International Space Station with two Russian cosmonauts — when he saw the huge column of smoke streaming from Lower Manhattan where the Twin Towers fell. Culbertson captured video and photos of the 9/11 site from space for NASA, while satellites also tracked the attack site from orbit.
Now, on the 13th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, the former astronaut is reflecting on that day. In a new video from NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex Culbertson describes his call to the ground that morning, just a month into his stay aboard the station, to give the results of some physical exams to his flight surgeon at Mission Control Houston, Steve Hart.
"Frank, we're not having a very good day down here on Earth," Hart told him.
At the time, the astronauts did not have live TV or Internet at the space station. But Culbertson saw on the astronauts' map that the orbiting outpost was over southern Canada and about to pass over New England. He grabbed a camera and moved to a window in the Russian portion of the space station, where he had a clear view of the dark smoke over New York.
Later, Culbertson could see the gash in the side of the Pentagon. He learned that day that his good friend and U.S. Naval Academy classmate Charles "Chic" Burlingame was the pilot of American Airlines Flight 77, which was hijacked and struck the Pentagon.
"Every orbit we kept trying to see more of what was happening," Culbertson said. "One of the most startling effects was that within about two orbits, all of the contrails that are normally crisscrossing the United States has disappeared because they had grounded all the airplanes and there was nobody else flying in U.S. airspace — except for one airplane that was leaving a contrail from the central U.S. toward Washington, and that was Air Force One headed back to D.C. with President Bush. It was a very sobering time for us."
A former test pilot, Culbertson was selected as a NASA astronaut candidate in 1984. Over three space shuttle missions, he logged 146 days in space before leaving the space agency. He is now executive vice president of Orbital Sciences Corp. | 2019-04-22T18:28:55 | https://www.nbcnews.com/science/space/how-astronaut-frank-culbertson-saw-9-11-space-n201451 |

This artist concept depicts the Space Launch System rocket rolling out of the Vehicle Assembly Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. SLS will be the most powerful rocket ever built and will launch the agency’s Orion spacecraft into a new era of exploration to destinations beyond low-Earth orbit.
NASA has completed a major milestone on its journey to Mars and is ready to begin another phase of work on its spaceport of the future, where the next generation of astronauts will launch to Mars and other deep-space destinations.
The agency recently wrapped up a comprehensive and successful review of plans for the facilities and ground support systems that will process the agency’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Over the course of a few months, engineers and experts across the agency reviewed hundreds of documents as part of a comprehensive assessment. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program (GSDO), responsible for processing SLS and Orion for flight and ensuring all systems and facilities are ready, completed its critical design review (CDR) of the facilities and ground support systems plans in December 2015.
This was followed in January by the completion of an independent assessment by a Standing Review Board, a team of aerospace experts that assessed program readiness and confirmed the program is on track to complete the engineering design and development process on budget and on schedule.
In the final step before actual fabrication, installation and testing of Kennedy's ground systems, the GSDO program and review board briefed the results of their assessments to NASA’s Agency Program Management Council, led by Associate Administrator Robert Lightfoot.
Engineers are transforming Kennedy's launch infrastructure to support the SLS rocket and Orion spacecraft. The heavy-lift rocket will be stacked in the Vehicle Assembly Building on the mobile launcher and roll out to Launch Pad 39B atop a modified crawler transporter. The Orion spacecraft will be fueled with propellants in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility at Kennedy prior to stacking atop the rocket. The launch team will use the new command and control system in the firing room as the clock counts down to liftoff of SLS’s first flight.
“The team is working hard and we are making remarkable progress transforming our facilities," said Mike Bolger, GSDO Program Manager. "As we are preparing for NASA's journey to Mars, the outstanding team at the Kennedy Space Center is ensuring that we will be ready to receive SLS and Orion flight hardware and process the vehicle for the first flight in 2018."
The council also heard the results of the Orion CDR, completed at the program level in October 2015. The evaluation assessed the primary systems of the spacecraft, including the capsule’s structures, pyrotechnics, Launch Abort System jettison, guidance, navigation and control and software systems among many other elements.
For the spacecraft’s first mission on the SLS rocket, ESA (European Space Agency) is providing Orion’s service module, which powers, propels, cools and provides consumables like air and water in space. Results from ESA's service module design review, which began this month, will be assessed and incorporated into Orion development and integration plans later this summer. Systems unique to the first crewed flight will be addressed at a review in the fall of 2017.
Progress continues on Orion at NASA facilities across the country. The underlying structure of the crew module arrived at Kennedy in early February for outfitting, which is currently underway. Over the next 18 months, thousands of Orion components will arrive and be installed.
Meanwhile, a structural representation of the service module is being tested at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, where engineers conducted a successful solar array wing deployment test on Feb. 29 and are preparing for a variety of tests to confirm it can withstand the harsh conditions of launch. | 2019-04-22T04:55:29 | https://p4-r5-01081.page4.com/_blog/2016/03/30/5966-raumfahrt---weiterer-meilenstein-fuer-nasa-raumflughafen-der-zukunft-/ |
Getting shot in a robbery shattered more than Katerina Zemanova's knee. Once an up-and-coming power executive she's realizing that recuperating her confidence, and her trust in people, is a lot harder than she expected. Teaching night school in the sleepy town where she grew up with her "go get 'em" grandmother seems like a good first step. But when Ben Brown bursts into class, that step becomes a a giant leap.
George Benjamin Brown is no star student. He's a recovering cynic with a newfound teenage son, Matt, and trust issues of his own. Matt sneaks off to enroll in Katerina's class, and Ben storms in to teach him a lesson, but is instead captured by Katerina. And it's the start of a learning experience none of them ever saw coming. | 2019-04-25T22:37:50 | http://tracykelleher.com/Teacher.php |

From age 1 to age 7, my family lived in Moorhead, Minnesota. It was a twin city to Fargo, North Dakota… separated by the Red River, which was also the state line. At the time, Fargo was bigger and had some amenities that Moorhead did not. So, it was not uncommon for us to go there to shop or eat.
One particular day stands out in my memory. It was the day Mom and Dad took me with them to Fargo to run some errands. While we were out, they decided we would eat at their favorite Chinese restaurant there in Fargo… Phil Wong’s.
What no one eating in that fine establishment- especially my parents- counted on when they sat down to enjoy their lunch was the level of entertainment they would receive from our table that day. Our food was served, and Mom and Dad became engrossed in some kind of conversation which apparently bored my creative-child mind.
To hear Mom and Dad tell this part of the story is better, but I will do my best. As they talked, they began to hear murmurs and giggles coming from tables around us. At first they dismissed it, but it began to build. Then they began to see people pointing at something… wait, they were pointing at our table. “But why,” thought Mom and Dad… till they realized that everyone was pointing behind them toward where I was seated.
By the time they turned around to see what all the hub-bub was about, I had my entire grilled cheese sandwich suspended in mid-air between my plate and my mouth. I had one chopstick in each of my small fists stabbed into the middle of the grilled cheese. It was beginning to tilt in such a way that it was twisting the chopsticks away from their balanced position. And that is what had all the onlookers so intrigued. Had Vegas known about this attempt, I’m pretty odds would have been announced and bets would have been placed.
Mom and Dad were horrified at the hilarious and harrowing effort. (This was up there with the flying Wallendas, people.) They wanted to tell me to stop, but it was too close… and I had to give the people what they wanted.
So, while it wasn’t pretty, I finally got a bite. People chuckled and cheered, and a showman was born. And then I was very clearly instructed that this was not proper etiquette for future reference.
Let’s face it… no one expected to see a kid try to eat a grilled cheese with chopsticks that day because that just isn’t what you do. Sadly, we let that type of mentality dictate far too much of our lives.
God doesn’t always do things the way people expect. He looks at our lives from a different perspective. Look at Scripture. God did some of the most creative, outlandish things people have ever seen. His Word says His ways aren’t like our ways, and our thoughts aren’t like His thoughts.
His Word also says He is doing something new. New means you and I haven’t seen it before, or at least not like what He’s talking about. When was the last time you invited God to do something new in your life? Who knows what amazing and creative ideas He has cooked up to bless you?!
Let’s not be content with a life of eating grilled cheese sandwiches with our hands, people… Grab those proverbial chopsticks and let God do something new in you… for you… through you! Who knows… you might just enjoy it and bring joy to a lot of folks around you.
So glad to hear it! This makes my day. Believing God has something spectacular in store for you!!! Luv ya bunches! | 2019-04-20T16:57:01 | https://allenchapin.com/2017/05/16/grilled-cheese-and-chopsticks/ |

In September 2010, Cavan County Council launched the first ‘Integration Framework’ for County Cavan. The document is a combined good relations, networking, anti-sectarianism and anti-racism strategy.
One of the key influences on County Cavan has been its location in the border area, a region that has been deeply affected by the history of conflict in Northern Ireland. This Integration Framework is a plan to promote the integration of minority communities in the county, particularly those who have been marginalised as a result of the conflict.
The Framework was developed by the County Cavan Peace III Partnership - a sub-committee of Cavan County Development Board - and other organisations working together. It presents a vision of Cavan as a county that is socially inclusive of all members of the county in celebrating diversity and promoting good relations.
The Framework was developed through extensive consultations with a variety of people and organisations, including victims of the conflict, former members of the security services, minority faith and minority ethnic communities and other target groups of the Peace III Programme.
In 2010 the Social Inclusion Unit delivered 10 one-day training courses called ‘Leadership and Diversity’. This course was designed to give people skills to show leadership in tackling racism and sectarianism at local level. The courses were open to staff working in the public, community and voluntary sectors in County Cavan and to local residents. Over 60 people attended this training over the year.
Develop ways of translating new knowledge into practice in terms of leadership.
The course was funded by Cavan’s Peace III Programme. Training was delivered by Dara Training and Consultants.
Following on from the Leadership & Diversity Training the Diversity Toolkit, ‘Equally Different’ was developed by the Social Inclusion Unit in 2011 through an Inter-Agency Working Group. The purpose of the toolkit is to help people explore issues around diversity, racism and sectarianism and provide people with the tools to tackle and address them. It was designed to be used by participants of the Leadership and Diversity Training Course but can also be used by community groups, service provider organisations, representative groups or anyone who has an interest in exploring issues around racism and sectarianism within the County.
Project supported by the European Union’s PEACE III Programme managed for the Special EU Programmes Body by the County Cavan PEACE III Peace and Reconciliation Partnership.
Work on Traveller Equality Issues The Social Inclusion Unit has worked to promote Traveller equality through developing links with Traveller groups. | 2019-04-26T04:26:24 | http://cavancoco.ie/anti-racism-and-anti-sectarianism.htm |

Instructors and students will want to know that Yale has contracted with Kanopy to offer on-demand streaming of thousands of documentaries, indie films, classics from the Criterion Collection, the BBC, PBS, and many others. Films can be watched from anywhere, anytime by the Yale community, and users can make their own playlists.
The CLS has hundreds of foreign language videos on DVD, representing a wide range of languages. Titles, descriptions, and other information can be found in our library catalog. While we can retrieve most titles from our collection immediately upon request, for less-commonly watched titles we must have advance notice in order to locate and retrieve the title.
Instructors may schedule video screenings at the CLS by filling out a Service Request form. In the Service Request notes, please specify the running time, current location of the work, the number of students expected to attend the screening(s), and preferred screening times. Screenings may benefit from the presence of an instructor or teaching assistant to facilitate discussion, but on request a CLS staff member will start the video at the designated time (though CLS staff will not monitor the screening or take attendance or the like).
In lieu of scheduled screenings, instructors may place videos on reserve for students to watch at their convenience. Videos on reserve may be from the CLS collection or supplied by an instructor (e.g. from a personal library or the Film Study Center).

AmeriCorp – Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA) is a national service program with the aim to eliminate poverty. VISTA members volunteer at a non-profit to help increase the capacity of the organization for the length of the assignment. Learn more about the AmeriCorp VISTA program here.
My role as a Digital Marketing Specialist includes, but is not limited to, managing social media accounts, designing and developing email communication materials, creating content, and supporting the Director of Marketing and Communications. My VISTA term was from July 1st, 2017 to June 1, 2018.
During the first five months (August – December), I increased the number of Facebook posts by 206.5% (in comparison to the five months before that). Those posts culminated to 260,257 impressions, an increase of 81.35%. Our fans increased by 6% and our engagement by 175%! After a “quiet” appeal on Giving Tuesday, we received our first round of FB donations, some of which were from first-time donors.
Check out the channels for yourself!
There are some communications such as newsletters which are regularly scheduled, and others such as campaigns and appeals that are one-time notices, invitations, announcements, etc. I am fully responsible for the monthly newsletters. This includes copywriting, gathering content and taking pictures. I was recently asked to re-design the emails in a more modern and clean style.
Sometimes The Nutshell will include special announcements or messages from other departments as needed.
The Assembly is a bi-monthly curated email news bulletin for donors and friends of The Oaks Academy. It features the latest articles on true education, real diversity, urban renewal, Christ-centeredness and more.
I store articles that I read throughout the two months on a trello board. When it is time to send out The Assembly, I pick articles that challenge and inspire our audience.
On occasion, I’ve had the opportunity to work on graphic design projects, such as creating potential signage mock-ups, updating forms, and designing invitations.
Video content was made for sharing over email and/or social media. I partnered with a friend of mind, Mark Steenberger, to make the Continuous Enrollment Videos. We were able to use Mark’s camera and lavalier mic. For the Middle School Choir, I used my photography camera and the Director of Communication’s cell phone. I pulled the audio from the soundboard at The Artsgarden since they had microphones already set up. For the #FacultyFebruary videos, I used my photography camera again, and an omnidirectional microphone from The Oaks Academy IT department. All videos were edited in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Check out a small sample of pictures I’ve taken for The Oaks Academy. The pictures are used for marketing materials and social media content. | 2019-04-26T00:36:37 | http://www.nikkilivingston.com/project/the-oaks-academy/ |

D-Day 65 Years on. Omaha Beach, how peaceful and tranquil it looks now. How different it must have been for the men who fought up and down this coast. If you sit and look at the cliffs and beach fronts you can visualise in your own mind how it must have looked. The full horror of what faced these troops must have been so overwhelming its almost to hard to understand. These beaches, the cliffs, the fields, the hedgerows all formed part of the most historical battle in human history.
St Mere Eglise, now famous from the film The Longest Day and many computer games that have been written about the 101st and 82nd Airborne drops in this area and the subsequent battles with the Germans.
Pegasus Bridge, is now a hive of activity. The original bridge was replaced with the same style bridge but with 2 lanes as opposed to the original one lane. The cafe still exists, and offers nice baguettes and drinks for weary travellers.
Juno Beach to the Longues Battery, Juno beach was the Canadian landing area, again fierce fighting took place here and the “Cassy” casement is also here, so called by the private who blow it up and now it rest on its side in the sand, that was some explosion! The Mullbery harbour also appears on this part of the coast, its was made in England and pulled across the channel as a tempory harbour for all the ships and supplies after D-Day, it still remains today! The Longues Battery houses the 105mm Skoda guns, 3 of which are still there the other exploded internally. Famous from the film “The Longest Day” as this is where they filmed the famous scene where the German Officer sees the advancing ships through the slit in his bunker.
Omaha Beach and Pointe Du Hoc, it is here at Omaha beach that the worst fighting took place resulting in huge losses for the advancing US forces. To sit on the shore line and look back at the cliffs, hill and sand dunes it is so hard to imagine what it must have looked like for the soldiers leaving the relative comfort of the landing craft. I visited the 3 of the exit points on this beach and in some places the case mates and trench systems are still visible. I also took a visit to the recent Maisey Battery along the coast, if you want to read up on this please do a Google search and you will see why its discover is such a “hot potato”.
Utah Beach to Deadmans Corner, the US landed on Utah Beach south of there objective, as a result they landed at Exit 2 which wasn’t as heavily defended as there main objective, the current had forced the craft south of the main objective. By contrast to Omaha Beach the resistance from the Germans here was minimal. Somewhat assisted by the destruction of the Guns at Brecourt. The move inland followed the main road (Exit 2) to Ste Marie Du Mont scene of street to street fighting. From here the road leads in land to Deadmans Corner on the outskirts of Carentan.
My last day in Normandy, i spent an hour in the pouring rain trying to get from Ste Mere Eglise to the Iron Mike statue, Mere Eglise was closed off for the celebrations and there was a memorial jump by parachutists, which had attracted visitors from all over France. Having walked with all my camera gear without wet weather gear I had to turn back, about 1/4 mile before the site. My dad and I were pretty wet by the time we got back to the car, but in the blink of an eye the sun came out and some glorious sunshine dried my clothes out!
Normandy and the Landing Beaches are a must see for any European, it reminds us of what it means to be free.
It has to be the most definitive operation of human existence. | 2019-04-21T17:06:02 | http://www.planet-images.com/blog2/2009/06/08/d-day-pics/ |
The Explorers lost by just 3 points, but found themselves in a hole in the first half, finding themselves facing a 36-24 deficit at halftime. They played much better in the second half, but were not able to complete the comeback, losing by a final score of 59-56. Jerrell Wright led all scorers with 23 points, while E.C. Matthews led the Rams with 21 points.
Wright had a terrific game on offense, going 8-12 from the field and 7-13 from the free throw line. Steve Zack was the only other Explorer to finish in double figures, scoring 13 points on 6-8 shooting. Jordan Price had an off game, scoring just 4 points on 1-8 shooting.
It was a rough game for the Explorer offense, outside of Wright and Zack's efforts. Eight different players scored, but 6 of them finished with less than 5 points. They also struggled to get things going from the three point line, going just 3-16 on three pointers. The Rams went just 2-11 themselves, but converting a couple more would have been the difference between a win and a loss.
The loss drops La Salle to 15-14 overall, and 7-9 in the Atlantic 10. With just two regular season games left, the Explorers need to win both games in order to get themselves the best seeding possible for the A-10 tournament. Capturing a win Wednesday's game vs Saint Joseph's can definitely help them improve their seeding. | 2019-04-22T12:27:39 | http://www.broadstbeat.com/home/la-salle-falls-to-rhode-island-after-rough-start |

In today’s world, we have grown accustomed to using certain tools and equipment in our daily lives. The stove is one such example, and we use our stoves to prepare a wide variety of meals. When you choose to venture beyond the comfort zone of your own home, you won’t enjoy the use of various appliances and this is where a solo stove comes in handy. In this solo stove review, we will examine the benefits, drawbacks, and everything else you need to know about this product.
Part of being prepared is knowing what your equipment is and what is not capable of. Having realistic expectations will allow you to make the necessary arrangements and adjustments in order to satisfy all your needs.
A solo stove is a compact unit that can easily fit inside your backpack. This solo wood stove is designed to use natural biomass in order to generate heat. The system works in such a way that the flames are shielded from any harsh winds while directing all of that heat upwards to the top where your pot will rest. Solo stoves come with a cooking ring and, if desired, you can also buy a pot for all of your water boiling and food preparation needs.
The best part of all is that the stove fits perfectly inside the pot which means that you don’t need to clutter your bag. The lightweight stove is an excellent choice for backpackers, campers, and even those who want to have some fun cooking outdoors at home with minimal tinder.
Once you’re done cooking and the fire has been properly extinguished, it’s easy to clean up and prepare for your onward journey. The top part of the stove detaches and fits inside the larger tube (that houses the fire), and all of this can then be packed inside your cooking pot.
Those who own a solo stove will agree that this is one of their most valuable assets when in need of a hot drink or meal. These stoves are known for offering great value for the money. They won’t cost you an arm and a leg, but they will pay for themselves time and time again! When you buy a solo camp stove, you can rest assured that it won’t weigh you down, and it won’t take up too much space in your pack.
Despite the compact size and light design, they are also known for their durability. You can cook really quickly with one of these stoves. 15 ounces of water takes about 7 minutes to boil. Lighting the fire is a lot easier than lighting a regular fire. The tinder and flames are well shielded from the wind.
There are ventilation holes that help guide air to feed the fire, but any harsh gusts won’t extinguish the flames as they would an open fire. It’s an all-in-one unit. If you try to cook on a regular fire, you will need all kinds of supports and stands. This stove comes with everything you need to get cooking, and all you need is a pot to place on top!
This wood solo stove does have a few drawbacks but understanding these potential cons will ensure best results. The first possible disadvantage is the fact that dry tinder is required. You also need to make sure that the tinder is really small so that it fits inside the fire area of the stove. If the tinder is too large, you won’t be able to place your pot on top of the stove.
Some people find it difficult to light the fire at first. Like any new skills, you might need a bit of practice. A good tip to remember is to try using a cotton ball lightly coated with Vaseline. After stacking your tinder, add the cotton ball to the middle and light it. The cotton ball will burn for several minutes, and this will help generate a steady flame with the surrounding tinder. Add wood through the feeding slot while cooking in order to keep the fire going. Just don’t suffocate the fire!
Another possible drawback is if you want to use this stove in particularly harsh conditions. It might not work quite as well if the air is particularly cold. Heating and cooking times will be longer, and tinder might be particularly scarce. That said, this is true for any form of outdoor cooking with wood.
When using your solo camping stove, it’s important that you follow the correct safety guidelines. Never leave your stove unattended and never let young children get too close. If you leave the fire unattended, and the stove somehow topples over, you may cause a fire. You should also always keep some water on hand just in case of an accident.
Remember that steam from boiling water or food can cause severe burns so take care when handling the pot and always use a rag or heat resistant gloves to grip the pot. Allow the fire to burn down completely or make sure that it’s extinguished before you go to bed or leave camp.
Never toss out hot ash or coals! Always make sure that they have been thoroughly doused with water before you leave. Keep burn supplies on hand at all times. If you are camping far from civilization, you will need these supplies to treat and dress a burn in order to prevent further injury and infection.
When using any piece of cooking equipment, it’s important to follow the proper guidelines. Here are some important tips for cooking with a solo stove.
The first thing you need to consider is how you plan on fueling your fire. When using this kind of stove, you can’t just pile on the wood and hope for the best. You will need to source dry biofuel since wet tinder won’t light quite as easily and it tends to smolder. Just like any fire, start with the smallest possible pieces of dry tinder and at a few thicker twigs and sticks on top.
Pine needles tend to burn quite easily as do dry leaves. If you want to play it safe, you can also use a cotton ball coated with Vaseline (as mentioned previously). This will help the cotton ball burn hotter for longer so that you can get a steady flame going.
This should be considered common sense to most of us. If you think about it, your stove at home needs to be flat so that you can cook safely. It’s also pretty tough to keep your food from spilling if your pot is resting at a 20 or 30-degree angle! For fire safety and easy cooking, make sure that you look for a flat piece of land.
Fortunately, the stove is really compact so you shouldn’t have to look too hard.
It’s fairly common knowledge that, when a fire burns, the wood can pop, and small explosions cause sparks to fly. Whether you are building a large campfire or starting a fire in your solo stove, it’s essential that you limit the risk of causing a wildfire by clearing the ground on which you plan on placing your stove.
The diameter of the cleared area should measure about 10 feet (5 feet on each side), and the stove should be placed in the center. When clearing the area, it will also offer an additional benefit since you can use much of the dry biofuel to generate and keep your fire going.
When you unpack your stove, you will notice that the cooking ring has been placed inside the main stove. Remove the ring and set it aside so that you can access the fire area with increased ease. Carefully stack your dry tinder in the stove. Remember, just like any fire, you should not make it too compact.
If you cram in too much fire material, it won’t allow for sufficient air flow, and this will inhibit the burning process. Place the smallest materials at the bottom with thicker twigs and sticks on top. The smaller, thinner pieces will burn faster and, by the time they burn out, the thicker sticks will continue burning.
It’s best to use matches when lighting the fire in your stove. Alternatively, you can use a lighter with a long tip (like a BBQ grill lighter). You don’t want to use a regular lighter since there is a significant risk of burning, and the lighter could even explode if the gas chamber comes in contact with the heat source.
Once you are happy with the way that your fire is burning, and you have a strong flame, it’s time to place your cooking ring on top of the stove.
You will notice that there is a gap in this ring, and this is for feeding your fire. Since the fire is quite small, you will need to add sticks and twigs regularly. Again, make sure that you only add a few sticks at a time. You don’t want the fire to go out when you’re in the middle of heating water or cooking a meal.
Now you can place your pot of water or food on top of the stove and cook just as you would on your stove at home. Boil water for your coffee or tea, roast marshmallows, or even cook little sausages over the flames.
Remember that dry wood burns easier and faster. Wet wood will prove more than just challenging since it also results in excessive smoke. Softwoods might burn easily, but they also burn faster than hardwoods. If possible, choose something like oak, maple, birch, or hickory.
Hardwoods also create far less soot than softwoods. This soot gathers on the bottom of the pot, but this can be reduced. All you need to do is make sure that your fire is hot and well-established before you place your pot on top of the cooking ring.
Make the cleanup that much easier by soaping the bottom of the pot before you use it. Wet a bar of soap and make your hands soapy. Apply the soap to the bottom of the pot or pan before placing it on the stove. The bottom of the pot or pan will turn black as you cook but it will be that much easier to remove with plain water once you’re done.
For an alternative and possibly more efficient way of cooking, light your fire on the top and allow it to burn down. Add more sticks until your fire is sustainable and the flames are spread out across the entire burning area inside the stove. Add more fuel as needed through the cooking ring opening. This will help you maintain the flame so that you can enjoy an extended cooking time.
Once you are done making your hot beverage or cooking your meal, it’s time to clean up. Clean your cooking utensils and pot as soon as you can so that you can achieve best results. Since you are out in nature, make sure that you avoid using harsh substances.
Be aware of everything you are adding to the earth and how it can affect the plants, animals, and nearby water supply. Even if you think that your contribution is minimal, there are others who also camp in these areas, and if everyone shows respect for nature, it will make all the difference. Make sure that your fire has completely burned out before you clean out your stove. You may even want to douse the smoking coals with water just to be safe.
Clean out your stove thoroughly and, once it is cool, clean, and dry, you can proceed to pack it away. If your stove fits inside your cooking pot, you should also make sure that your pot is clean and dry before packing up.
Apart from pots and pans, there are also various accessories that can help improve your cooking experience. If you find yourself in particularly harsh, windy conditions, you can use the wind shield to ensure that your fire lights quickly and keeps burning. This screen also helps prevent your fire from burning too quickly. It’s also good to invest in more than one pot. This is because you may want to use more than one pot at once.
For example, if you want to boil water in one pot and cook your meals in a different pot, you will need at least two. It’s also handy if you are traveling in a larger group or as a family. You should also keep a sharp knife on hand for chopping tinder as well as trusty matches (the waterproof variety is best) and/or a lighter with a long tip. You can use skewers for roasting marshmallows and sausages but, remember, you can also turn to nature and use sticks if you don’t want to overload your pack.
Depending on your preferences, you can even keep an alcohol burner handy just in case. These burners use safer forms of alcohol as a fuel source rather than dangerous substances that can present a risk of explosion.
Solo stoves are ideal for boiling water and cooking. Whether you want to make a cup of coffee or tea, or you simply want to make sure that your drinking water is safe, this little helper can do it all! As for meals, you need only place a pot on top and prepare your food just as you would any other meal. Heat canned meals or make a stew from scratch. It’s up to you! You can even enjoy some much-needed warmth while cooking.
How about roasting marshmallows after dinner? Marshmallows are light enough to carry around in your pack, and they make a great after meal treat. You can even use this stove if you don’t have gas or electricity for a while.
Instead of suffering through a power outage or gas repairs, keep your belly full with home cooked food. In fact, it’s great to have in case of any emergency. These days you just don’t know when your appliances might let you down. Keep a small stockpile of dry tinder on hand for such instances.
So, what are you waiting for? Make a list of some of your favorite recipes and give them a try on this compact stove! Remember, it’s good to test your stove and recipes at home before venturing out. This way, you can make any necessary adjustments to ensure best results when out and about.
Keep this handy piece of cooking equipment in your car along with a bag of tinder just in case. For larger families, you might even want to invest in two or more of these stoves. This will make it possible to cook larger meals as well as simultaneous water boiling and meal preparation.

I know Divisiontwo posted in another thread, but I figured it was easier for people to find if it had its own thread.
Let the preseason debating begin.
Armo what school are you an alumni of?
I agree with the poll and love the pressure of #1. Bring it on, we’ll run it all over the yard.
Given my obvious bias, I completely agree that Harding will be at the top of the conference come mid-November. That being said, I kinda like being ranked 2nd or 3rd in the poll as it gives the team an underdog mentality. I agree with the poll overall, though I do feel Ouachita is a little overrated and Tech a little underrated. Only time will tell.
Hey Weevil Watcher, I saw on another thread that you said you would be surprised if SAU and UAM aren't contending for the title in week 11. I definitely think UAM has a good chance at a winning season this year despite the loss of Tolliver. Serious question: what are you seeing that leads you believe that the Weevils will jump from a 5-win season to a 9/10-win season given that it's unlikely a team will win the conference with less than 9 wins?
Weevil Watcher drinks Jack with his coffee.
I mean, after all, last years preseason poll was really close, right?

We have a new Tech fan on the board! Welcome!
Yes, a completely new Tech fan... Looking forward to a good, competitive season.
Come on! Lets face it! Preseason polls truly consist of: "Did they win the conference last year", or "did they go deepest in the post season"! That's why Harding is #1, OBU (the true OBU) is #2! Plus, lets face it! He did have a pretty damn impressive 1st year!! Other than the 0-3 start!
Careful there StumpJumper.........we got it going on.
It’s a crapshoot but my belief is that we will surprise on defense. If that holds, look out!!!
Scrimmage this morning proved we are going to be good again offensively. Sears was sharp delivering the ball all around. And running game will be fine. Defensively we look just fine, as there are some newcomers looking good at DL and LB. secondary play was solid and deep. I’m optimistic about our ability to stop the run this year.
No need to talk about our offense, it would produce with a 6th grader behind center with that arsenal of skill players to lean on. The defense looked very confident and fast during the scrimmage. The kids seem to be really buying what Coach Thompson is selling. If our defense improves from last year, I really love our chances at repeating as GAC champs and being a contender come playoff time.
Pretty easy to do against an offense you see every day... OBU will not be great on defense. There will be a drop off at QB whether you want to admit that or not. Which you won’t.

Never said any of the things you are replying, try reading my post again and this time comprehend it. Yes there will obviously be a drop off at QB, especially when dealing with a redshirt Freshman. But having the weapons he has around him will surely take some of the pressure off of him early on. I never said our defense would be great, but I hope they will be. I stated that any improvement would serve the team well in our quest for championships. | 2019-04-24T10:58:27 | http://www.d2messageboard.com/showthread.php?t=91768&s=9b3a30e7f44ebca6bdc3a1b43888f6d8 |
Gem cutters and jewellers have a lot in common. They take a raw form and shape it into an object of beauty. Often it is more about the joy of creation than money.
Sadly both are a dying breed here in Australia due to expectations brought about by cheap imports of finished mass produced goods. This pendant is an example of what can happen when the jeweller and gem cutter still manage to get together in Australia.
Whilst Topaz is not a very expensive gem one this size and so clean is special. Add to that fact that the cutter of the gem is the owner and recipient of the pendant it will be set into is his partner, it becomes even more special.
This not being the first time I have worked with this gem cutter he provided a sketch of what he had in mind to get me started. Other than some small changes with scale I quickly laid out the design in top view.
With a gem of this size, about 20 carats, it had a depth of approximately 1cm. The gallery of the pendant would need to have some thought given to it to both reduce weight in the gold used and also for aesthetics.
We tried quite a few variations but in the end decided to reuse the half infinity loop of the top view again in the side.
The final step was as usual for me to bring the concept into reality. The pendant was made in 9ct Palladium white gold and the finished weight excluding the gem was 6 grams. Amethyst were used in the bail of the pendant which is worn on a 40cm long 3mm neoprene necklace.

I have two layouts today that I finished earlier this week. I've been on a roll!
I just realized that the title of this first layout is the same as one I created a few weeks ago about our wedding. Well...both things were perfect...baby girl and my wedding day. The first layout was again created with a lot of old stash and a few new(er) embellishments. I wanted to keep it relatively simple so that her baby hands and feet were prominent. I really like how it turned out. I just need to add the journaling on the bottom, right corner.
This second layout is about our engagement. For the background I used a piece of stitched paper that was in an old CD kit from about 2 years ago. I didn't really like the paper on its own...but once the layout came together I was pleased. I was also happy to use a small scrap from a piece of pp that had old fashioned advertisements on it...it was perfect. The little scrap with the ring box that says, "Diamonds."
On this page I challenged myself to use a lot of pieces from my scrap box and an old CD kit. I have really been trying to work through those old kits. The title, "Everything has a beginning" has special significance to us. I gave Cary an engraved keychain early in our relationship that had that saying and the date we met on it. At our wedding, this saying was printed on tags attached to little boxes of wildflower seeds we gave as favors. The photo with the roses are from a plant at my parents...the plant was grown from a piece of my grandmother's rose bush at the house where my dad grew up. It just seemed to fit on this page.
I have truly enjoyed getting back into this hobby I love. It has helped me to heal and to cope with difficulties. It is a fun outlet that lets me reflect and tell stories. It has helped me immensely lately. For a few years I just couldn't "go there" and work on pages. But I'm glad to be back.
me and my girl at disney on ice. she was a blur in every picture...constantly moving!
Over the weekend we took sweetpea to her first ice show in the big city. I used to love going to these shows because I grew up figure skating. She did good for being so little...ants in her pants throughout the show! Spent much of the time moving around so she is a blur in almost every picture. Here are a few!
This is one more page I decided to work on as a break from the baby's album. I have to say the page looks much better in person than in this photo. It seems like the coloring is harsh here...but it is actually much softer. The layout includes a photo I have had for a long time and had tucked away in an older album to scrap. I used a newer paper that I bought that has the words, "Some people strengthen others by just being the kind of people they are." I got that paper with the sole intention of creating a page about my dad. But I found this photo of my dad and his father sitting in our yard. My dad is holding my little brother who was around a year old then. I love this picture. It is the only one I have seen with my dad and grandfather together. This quote actually is fitting for both of them. My dad is a lot like my grandfather in many ways. Quiet, hard-working, intelligent, introspective, wise.
I also purposely included the strip of paper that looks like a ruler with a woodgrain. It reminded me of them. My grandfather was a Master Carpenter and my dad is an Electrician who can also build anything. I associate the smell of sawdust and the sound of a hammer and nails with them.
Here's one more closeup of the title...I used some really old rub-on's for the title "Generations:"
Supplies: Kaiser Craft - Sears & Son - Sidecar; Echo Park - This & That - Yardsticks; Echo Park - Victoria Gardens alpha stickers; SEI Mandera Island chipboard journaling tag; Queen & Co Nightfall pearls; Hambly overlays; 7 Gypsies - Nest - quote sticker.
This layout includes two photos from almost exactly 2 years ago. It marked my Dad's 65th birthday and the coincided with a very trying time in our lives. My father and sister's birthday's are only a few weeks apart so they allowed us to have two celebrations at a time when we really needed it. I decided to do this layout and another to tell a few stories of photos that I haven't scrapped. It was also a break from working on the baby's album. I used a really old Cocoa Daisy kit and remembered to write down the supplies this time. I even used the stamp that came in kit. I cut the stamped image in half and used part of the label under "celebrate" and the other half at the top of the page. I sometimes don't feel like dragging out ink and stamps while working on a page but I really like that I can create my own embellishments since I don't tend to buy many. I love my older kits because the product in them is still current in my eyes.
Fast-forward two years...and we are reliving some of the same difficulties again...and looking for ways to celebrate. Which is why sweetpea's birthday was so wonderful a few weeks ago. She brings us all light, joy, and hope. I enjoyed working on this page with all the bright colors and cheerfulness. It helped me.
Supplies: My Mind's Eye ~So Sophie ~"Best Thing" Red Chevron; Jillibean Soup corrugated white alphas; October Afternoon Night Light ~ Henry ; October Afternoon- Label stickers - Report Card; Cocoa Daisy stamp; Basic Grey stitched brads; K&Co. smash washi tape; mini alphas.
I finished this layout Monday night. I challenged myself to do a layout using a reaaallly old kit from CD. I'm talking like maybe from October 2010? I still love the papers in those old kits. Paper really has always been my biggest inspiration for scrapping and cards. I just love it. I look at it as a collection of sorts and it was how I got into scrapping orginally.
On the layout I used all elements from the kit with very few exceptions. I added in the 3-D buttons with the bird, "wonder," and "dream" that I got recently (K&Co.), the "Family" sticker I've had forever, The little letters for "of," the "Advice" tag and the tag with the baby image...and a little washi. All the papers, the "For the Record" stamp, alphas, and buttons were from the kit.
It was a fun challenge for myself. It simplifies my process. I really would like to reward myself when I get a job and subscribe to a kit club again. I used to love getting those boxes in the mail! And since I have been scrapping more I should be able to keep up with the product better than in the past.
Writing the journaling was sentimental for me. As I mentioned in previous posts...all of the layouts have been since they were almost exactly 1 year ago. I love that little girl. It really is true that you cannot imagine loving something quite that much until you are a mom.
Her latest trick is giving baby kisses to her Little People princess dolls! I got my first baby kiss last night! I almost cried....so, so sweet.
Today's layout I managed to finish here and there over the past few days. A little one night, a little during naptime, ...I managed to fit it in. Sometimes I feel there aren't enough hours in the day and I don't get around to my hobbies.
Taking baths in the big tub.
And I have two more days at one of my jobs and then I'll be home with her 3 days per week. I wish I could relax in that idea. I would love to be home with her full-time, or at least part-time. But we just can't do it at this time. We can't even do it now but we will make do until I find another job. This time last year I was on my 3- month maternity leave and I loved it! I enjoy taking care of her, cleaning, cooking, fixing my home. I love it. I am hoping I can find some peace in this interim while I figure out "what's next?" on the horizon for me.
I have been loving watching all the old Glitter Girl videos on Two Peas. I hadn't seen them when they came out originally because I was on my scrapping hiatus. I love her style - it fits in with my natural style. I just don't do quite as much layering. A little simpler. Mainly because I don't buy a lot of supplies regularly and use what I have somewhat sparingly. I'm a saver. I'm trying to move away from that and just USE stuff! I bought it with that purpose in mind...why not?
I used some new(er) paper (not sure on manufacturer -I'm terrible at that!)...layers of other patterned papers...old label stickers...manilla tags...rhinestones...a chipboard tag....and some old washi I forgot I had from Tim Holtz! What a fun surprise in my tool tote! And lots of word stickers. I find I use them on almost every layout. My favorites tend to be ones I pick up at Michael's from K & Co. I use them constantly on pages and cards. I also pulled out an old chipboard heart and sponged on some inks. I like how it turned out. I was inspired by one of the Glitter Girl videos about depth. So I layered a lot until I felt it was finished. I really like how it turned out.
Thanks for looking. Happy Saturday!
Our sweetpea turned one on tuesday. She was born 2/12/12...so 2 must be a lucky number for us!
homemade cupcakes. my first attempt at fancy frosting!
first time checking out a balloon!
And the After: This kid evidently loves chocolate!
our place after the blizzard "Nemo"
Finally just got outside with the baby. We've been in the house for 48+ hours! My husband got called into work again. Between work and National Guard he hasn't had a day off in over 2 week. Sweetpea wasn't to thrilled with me taking her out in the cold to take pictures. But it is pretty out. Here's the aftermath of a blizzard at our house!
"Are you going to make me go out there Momma?"
drift on the side of our condo. we are the lowest floor.
view out our side windows this a.m. covered by a huge drift!
Just a few shots of the blizzard so far...haven't been able to get outside yet for better pictures! My husband did have to brave the storm at 7:30am today to get to his security detail. He's the manager and one of his guys couldn't make it in. It's only about 3 miles from home...but still wish he didn't have to. We are fortunate so far though - we still have power.
the cars across the street. can't even see the pond beyond them.
cary shoveling early this am.
Will have more photos later when the wind dies down and I get outside!
I used lots of old and new stuff. I just need to add the date above the photo but needed to look back and see when the picture was taken. Time is going so fast. Baby girl turns one on tuesday. Yikes.
The college is closed tomorrow. Evidently here in Eastern Massachusetts we are expecting quite a storm. Blizzard to be exact. I will believe it when I see it. But I guess we are ready. Cary works tomorrow but he's only 5-10 minutes away so he should be able to get home at 4pm ok. Sweetpea is staying home with me. Hoping my parent's will be ok. They only live about 10 minutes away but my dad just finished treatment #1 and is not feeling well and can't do a lot physically. Last time he was going through treatments my brother was home from school...this time it's just them. But I think they should be set until Cary can shovel for them saturday and my uncle is not far from them either to help with the generator. They live in a very wooded area and the big trees around the house are always a concern.
I am looking forward to a day or two of hiding from the world. I really need that right now.
A few years ago I used to keep little black sketchbooks where I pasted in inspiration from home decorating magazines, craft sources, quotes, sketches, journaling, etc. I kind of got a way from the habit but found I kind of missed it. It was sort of a catch-all for inspiration and thoughts. I saw the Smash Books in Michaels just after Christmas and thought I'd use one of those. I loved the different pages and backgrounds. I chose the Nature version as it sort of fit me the best.
On my first page I had pasted in a list of goals for each month based off of the book The Happiness Project. This has been an inspirational read for me. I felt like I really related to the author and her honesty about successes and challenges. So for January I was focused on Boost Energy. I've won some and lost some. It was a very tough month. But I've boosted my energy in ways I didn't expect. | 2019-04-20T02:20:16 | http://justme-emilyp.blogspot.com/2013/02/ |
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is recognized as one of the most effective forms of realistic self-defense ever developed. Created by Grandmaster Helio Gracie and proven by Royce Gracie in the first UFCs, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the art that allows anyone to defend themselves regardless of size or strength. At MAASPi, we are fortunate to have Royce Gracie Black Belt, Roy Marsh, leading our classes.
At Maaspi, we teach Gracie Jiu-Jitsu as a complete style which includes standing self-defense, striking, take-downs, groundwork and ethical instruction. Although, our focus is on preparing our students to defend themselves, we make sure our classes are fun and exciting and a place where everyone feels welcome. | 2019-04-23T02:34:32 | https://www.maaspi.com/royce-gracie-jiu-jitsu.html |

I get it though. Most folks are used to frozen meatballs or the kind you eat out at restaurants that lack the most important ingredient...FLAVOR!
These meatballs definitely are loaded with flavor! I use plenty of fresh garlic and basil to pack a flavorful punch, and paired with my slow cooker Red Sauce you can't go wrong! Cook up some noodles and you have an easy meal that always leaves a wonderful impression.
Another fun fact about this meatball recipe is the easy clean-up! I like to bake them on a rack that I place in a foil-lined baking sheet and just toss the foil when done. The cookie sheet is clean and the rack washes up easily. I love that!
Preheat oven to 500 degrees F. In a large bowl combine 2 lbs ground chuck, 1 cup dry Italian bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 egg, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tablespoons minced onion, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Mix this up really well. Put on some gloves or wash your hands well and dig in. You really want to be sure you combine all the ingredients throughout.
Line a baking sheet with heavy duty foil or double line with regular foil. If using a rack be sure to spray it with some olive oil. I like to use my Misto Sprayer. If not using a rack, then spray the foil lightly with olive oil.
Shape the meat mixture into 1 to 1 1/2" balls and place close together on the rack. I use a cookie scoop. It shapes the meatballs nicely and makes quick work of scooping them out and getting them ready for the oven!
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes. Cook time will depend on the size of your meatballs, but I recommend checking them after 10 minutes. You can cut into one to make sure the juices run clear and they are cooked all the way through. If you want to top each meatball with a piece of fresh mozzarella, be sure to cook them a little less than done and then put them under the broiler until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. Serve and enjoy!
Oh Marion...gotta tell you, I made red sauce in the crockpot today...(a bit different recipe) But you are SO right It does have a much more wonderful and robust flavor....and the house, as I walked in tonight smelled like HEAVEN...or more accurately an Italian Restaurant! Perfect on a cloudy and rainy day....AND it loved being in there for 10 hours on low! Thanks, Girl!!
Thank you for letting me know! I'm glad it wasn't just a fluke. I don't normally like to use the crockpot, but I'm so glad I did for the sauce! and, yep, the aroma is quite a nice bonus! I have no idea why it is so much better, but who cares??!! | 2019-04-23T13:54:39 | https://www.ourlifetastesgood.com/2012/03/meatballs.html |
Please read timeout & cancel first as asi.setTimeout(), asi.setCancel() and asi.waitExternal() are used to signal AsyncSteps to disable implicit asi.success() call and wait for external event completion.
Check that related AsyncSteps instance is still running.
Catch and discard errors thrown by asi.error() to avoid unhandled exception warnings.
In many cases, we want to disable external processing ASAP, if we going to discard its result any way.
// Make sure to cancel read on error or cancel.
// Also disables implicit success.
Since FTN12 v1.11, it’s very easy to add Promise or async function call as one of steps.
Since FTN12 v1.12, it’s also possible to use AsyncSteps as Promise by using #promise() instead of #execute().
It’s allowed and encouraged to use both asi.setTimeout() and asi.setCancel() when external event processing is used to make sure that external event has some time limit and that external processing is correctly aborted.
It’s recommended to wrap external event processing in libraries to make the code cleaner and more safe. | 2019-04-23T05:56:13 | https://futoin.org/docs/asyncsteps/interop/ |
A grunt, sometimes called a slump, is a classic American skillet dessert combining fruit stew and a fluffy dough topping. Whether you're plucking berries at your campsite or at the farm stand, this is a great way to put a variety of the juicy gems to use.
1. Cook berries with 1/4 cup sugar, the water, and lemon juice in a cast-iron skillet set over a campfire or on a medium grill, until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Add buttermilk and butter; stir until a moist dough forms.
3. Spoon 6 dollops of dough over fruit. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar over dough.
4. Cover skillet tightly with parchment-lined foil. Cook until dumplings are set and tops are dry, about 20 minutes.
Made this twice this weekend. I don't have a cast iron skillet so I used a regular skillet. The first batch was almost a complete failure. For the second batch I had to turn the heat down to between low & medium so the berries didn't thicken before putting in the batter. Still left 20min but boiled on low to medium heat. I separated the batter in little mounds on a different plate just to make things easier because the batter is pretty sticky. Served with vanilla ice cream & everyone loved it! | 2019-04-24T19:09:01 | https://www.marthastewart.com/354916/skillet-cooked-mixed-berry-grunt |

Reactions opposed to the accord of the SSPX leaders with Rome implying the acceptance of Vatican II “interpreted in the light of Tradition” seem to be growing among priests of the organization. Two of them that recently came to TIA's knowledge appear to be just the tip of the iceberg. The first was from the Prior of Orizaba in Mexico, Fr. Basilio Meramo, who publicly stated his indignation over Bishop Fellay’s agreement with Rome, which he qualified as an apostasy. TIA posted one sermon and an open letter that he wrote presenting his opposition to any accord.
Now, a new case has come to the surface.
On February 5, Bishop Fellay was present at a meeting of the SSPX superiors in France that took place in St. Nicholas de Chardonnay, Paris. After his speech in which he gave an account of the recent steps regarding his relations with the Vatican, a Capuchin superior of the Convent of St. Anthony Aurenque, Fr. Jean de Morgon, stood up and asked whether it was Bishop Fellay’s intention to accept “the Conciliar Church, the Modernist Rome.” As the Bishop hesitated, the religious insisted a second and a third time, but received no answer to his question.
The Franciscan superior, also present, ordered Fr. Jean to be silent and leave the room. Fr. Jean declared in loud voice that “there is no obligation whatsoever to obey someone who contradicts Faith and Morals,” but he left the room. Afterwards, he was ordered to issue a letter of apology to Bishop Fellay.
Fr. Jean stated that he would apologize for the form of his question, not for its content. To this “letter of apology” he had been ordered to write, he attached a declaration in which he expounded the reasons for his disagreement with the accord. He sent this declaration to various friends and supporters of SSPX, who placed it on a French website on February 22, 2009. Recently, one of our readers sent it to us.
Below, we present the main excerpts of Fr. Jean’s attached statement, translated from French by TIA (our subtitles). Our readers familiar with French can read the full text here or read news about it on websites that reported the episode (here and here).
His statement that the present day accord with Rome headed by Bishop Fellay would be the principal goal of their agenda.
Also surprising is his final affirmation that Bishop Williamson would be a part of this team.
I leave the reader to judge the truth of these statements.
TIA is taking the initiative to report this episode, as it did in the case of Fr. Meramo, because it seems to have been forbidden to circulate these dissensions among the SSPX grassroots. It is hard to justify leaders of a movement who prevent their followers from knowing what is happening in their own ranks. I believe the faithful have the right to know these controversies. Here is my contribution toward this end..
After my vehement intervention on February 5, pressure was put on me both in St. Nicholas and in Causade. In response, I said that I would apologize for the form (the ire) but not for the matter (the complaint).
When I took the microphone [at the meeting in Paris], I said that I - along with many other priests - was very apprehensive with what was happening in the SSPX- Vatican relations that appears to be leading us - slowly but surely – toward joining with conciliar and modernist Rome.
Since I returned from Paris, Divine Providence has confirmed to me - as if it were necessary - that this process of merging is in progress. One of the faithful showed me a text from the Internet of a petition of support for Benedict XVI. In the announcements of Sunday Mass, I believed it was my duty to warn the faithful about this campaign, telling them that we should pray for Pope Benedict XVI, because he has heavy responsibilities, but that it was not the case to give him an unconditional support, considering that he had just declared (L’Osservatore Romano, French weekly edition, Dec. 23-30, 2008, p. 6) that the Church rejoices at the autonomy between the State and the Church, considering it a great progress of mankind. I also deemed it proper to invite the faithful to read an [old] article of Bishop Tissier de Mallerais about the errors taught (again and again, without any corrections) by professor Ratzinger (Sel de la Terre n. 67, pp 22-54).
Further investigation of the source of this petition clearly shows on the website of Forum Catholique that it springs from and is encouraged by GREC [French acronym for Group of Reflection among Catholics] that was founded in 1997 (for 10 years we did not even know of the existence of such a club!). This group brings together clergy and laity from all the various tendencies of “tradition,” primarily those who have merged [with the Vatican]. Among those is found the SSPX. They work “to achieve reconciliation according to the institutional and juridical forms.” This goal obviously targets the SSPX, which among that group is the only one that (still) has not merged.
One can also read there that this petition is encouraged by Archbishop [Fortunato] Baldelli, the Apostolic Nuncio, and Bishop [Philippe] Breton of Aire and Dax, representing the Bishops of France. I was told by a SSPX colleague that Bishop Breton stated that he met Fr. Cacqueray [the French superior of SSPX] at a GREC meeting … I was not surprised, therefore, to learn that the superior of the French district [Cacqueray] had exhorted all the faithful of Mutualité [in Paris] to sign the petition supporting Benedict XVI.
Do we need more proofs that the SSPX authorities are determined to merge with conciliar Rome? Is it necessary to listen again to the program of Radio Courtesy (July 17, 2007) where Fr. Lelong, a GREC activist, assured his listeners that the present day SSPX leaders would be fully willing to merge and that their task would essentially be only to silence the recalcitrant inside the SSPX?
I am perfectly aware of the gravity of these revelations and their consequences. I have weighed and verified them as much as possible through the means Divine Providence recently afforded me. In conscience I could no longer remain silent, only in prayer. I do not want to wait for the house to be completely burned before calling the alert! I am absolutely certain that I fulfill my duty and the will of God in communicating these things to you. It is up to you to make your own judgment following your own conscience. Thinking about the numerous souls that were confided by Our Lord Jesus Christ to your care and for which you will have to give an account regarding their faith at the judgment day [the question rises]: “What do you expect from the Church?” The answer: The FAITH.
Regarding the future, I place myself totally in the hands of Divine Providence. I expect to be cast into the street, being labeled “sede-vacantist” (defamation is a classical tactic of the subversives to marginalize their opponents). If some tragedy will happen to me - it is necessary to foresee everything - I have confided this letter and all my hot documents to some dependable friends, who can disseminate them should the need arise. I know that my parents will provide for me and help me to re-start or, better said, to continue my religious life somewhere else. It is an enormous pain for me to become “vagus”, but if this is the will of the Good God in this astonishing crisis, so be it!
I have no trust in Bishop Fellay, who uses his authority to cover this whole operation. Neither do I have any in Bishop Williamson, who was found to be in secret contact with Rome a week after Easter 2008. Regarding our other two Bishops, I hope that on the day of the merger (which would not be so far off, as many pretend, since Benedict XVI is getting old…) or even before, at least one of them will stand up and continue the work of Msgr. Lefebvre.
Should this happen, I alert my brothers of Morgon and Aurenque who refuse this capitulation on the battlefield of the Faith that I will return and place myself under the obedience of their superior or the eldest one. Until this day comes, let us remain united in praying the Rosary, confiding in the final triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. | 2019-04-24T08:17:02 | https://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/f031ht_LetterFrJean.htm |
Brown started his career as a farmer, growing tomatoes in southern New Jersey with his younger brother during high school and college. Shortly after earning a degree in agricultural science from Rutgers University in 1955, he spent six months living in rural India where he became intimately familiar with the food/population issue. In 1959 Brown joined the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service as an international agricultural analyst.
Brown earned masters degrees in agricultural economics from the University of Maryland and in public administration from Harvard. In early 1969, he helped establish the Overseas Development Council.
In 1974, with support of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Lester Brown founded the Worldwatch Institute, the first research institute devoted to the analysis of global environmental issues.
Brown has authored or coauthored 50 books. One of the world’s most widely published authors, his books have appeared in some 40 languages. His most recent book is World on the Edge: How to Prevent Environmental and Economic Collapse.
He is the recipient of many prizes and awards, including 25 honorary degrees, a MacArthur Fellowship, the 1987 United Nations’ Environment Prize, the 1989 World Wide Fund for Nature Gold Medal, and the 1994 Blue Planet Prize for his “exceptional contributions to solving global environmental problems.” More recently, he was was selected one of Foreign Policy’s Top Global Thinkers of 2010.

← Online vs face-to-face learning: why can’t we have both?
The faculty were torn between the two candidates. Some thought the brilliant man was the obvious choice. Others thought this to be completely absurd. In their view, the female candidate was far and away the better candidate. Unlike the male candidate, she actually had a proven track record of success publishing her own work in top-journals and in the classroom. Alas, after several days of drama and deliberations, the department decided to offer the position to the male candidate. Members of the faculty who preferred the female candidate were irate, feeling that the committee had favored someone with few accomplishments over a person with many.
In my view, this is the kind of case that should lead us to question the value of interviews and such. There is this common belief–a belief which there is a great deal of empirical evidence against–that we are capable of detecting \”talent\” better through personal experience than through purely statistical resources (i.e. resumes alone). Study after study has that purely algorithmic processes (i.e. counting publications) are systematically better predictors of success than so-called \”eyeball tests\” (i.e. personal impressions)–and yet, as we see in the case above, people continue to base hiring decisions on personal impressions. Why?
Despite only having one good collegiate season, JaMarcus Russell blew everyone away at the 2007 scouting combine with his physical talents. He was selected #1 overall in the draft and went onto become one of the worst draft \”busts\” in history.
In 1998, pro scouts were split between two college quarterbacks: Peyton Manning, who has gone onto become one of the greatest pro quarterbacks ever, and Ryan Leaf, who is one of the worst draft \”busts\” of all time. Many scouts preferred Leaf over Manning because of his \”obvious\” physical advantages–this despite the fact that manning had a much more successful collegiate career.
In 1999, Akili Smith was selected in the first round of the NFL draft despite having only one good season, because of his \”obvious physical talents\” at the scouting combine.
In 2000, a man named Tom Brady was selected in the 6th round of the NFL draft, due to perceptions that he lacked sufficient physical tools to succeed.
In 1979, Joe Montana was selected in only the 3rd round of the NFL draft, being judged by scouts to be too slight of build and not having a strong enough throwing arm–this despite being famous for incredible comeback victories while at Notre Dame. Montana is now judged to be perhaps the best NFL quarterback of all time.
There\’s an obvious pattern here: a pattern of people systematically ignoring actual accomplishments in favor of personal judgments about \”talent.\” And there\’s another obvious pattern: this not working very well! Time and time again, individuals who are profoundly impressive in person do not go onto succeed…precisely because their personal impressiveness is not backed by a past record of actual success. Conversely, time and again, individuals with actual records of success continue to succeed even if they are \”not that impressive\” in person.
So why, after all of the studies, and all of the trends, do people continue to \”trust their judgments\” of talent? Why indeed! | 2019-04-24T18:44:34 | http://world.edu/eyeball-test-seductiveness-talent/ |

In 1807, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine.
The stories of American history fascinated him and provided a backdrop for his many poems. Incorporating historical facts into his best-known works, Longfellow also created myths and legends.
His poems cover various time frames, such as Native-American oral history (The Song of Hiawatha), the Acadian diaspora (Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie) and the first skirmish of the American Revolution (Paul Revere's Ride).

The Preschool-Elementary Swimming online tutorial by Oceanus Consulting provides a clear, detailed introduction for beginner swimmers to get comfortable in the water.
While some learn-to-swim programs omit basic details, Oceanus Consulting walks students through each step of how to take that first plunge into the pool. I've had the opportunity to teach beginning swimming classes for the past six years, and found that the concepts used by Oceanus Consulting are in line with those that I find most effective as well.
I would recommend this program for beginner swimmers as well as anyone who is thinking about teaching beginning swimming.
This is the best self-taught instructional program that I have seen on the market. The step-by-step instructions for learning how to swim are simple, effective, and applicable to kids and adults of all ages. Each word and each video aligns perfectly, so there can be no misinterpretation of how to proceed and get better.
My own children use this system and have fun doing so.
"Excellent and Very Professional Swim Instruction Service"
I have been using the swim instruction services of Oceanus Consulting on a regular basis for the past few years.
I have two swimmers, and they are 5 years apart. Over the years, these swim lessons greatly helped my kids develop, improve, and fine-tune their swimming skills and stroke techniques.
The swim lessons provided are at the highest professional level and are very well planned to address the technical aspects of swimming as well as the development of youth swimmers.
The lessons are fun, creative, and tailored to match each swimmer's needs and capabilities, taking the swimmer from one level to the next. The swim lessons are very well designed to address each swimmer's technical, physical, and emotional needs.
The swim instructor is a well-respected professional swimming expert who is also a teacher who takes the time to analyze and explain to the swimmer in simple terms the logic behind the practices provided. He is always available to answer questions and provide help, support, and guidance.
My kids have full trust in the advice of the swim instructor, love the practices, and always look forward to each practice session. I have full confidence in the swim instructor, and the service provided is worth every minute and every dollar spent.
We chose Peter for his technique work and stellar reputation in New England. He was professional and taught our daughter proper techniques in a positive environment.
We have been bringing our children to Peter at Oceanus for over six years.
Peter is technically knowledgeable— he is able to teach proper mechanics, and he has continuously worked with our children to fine-tune those techniques, as their swimming levels matured from beginning Age Groupers to Junior National level swimmers.
Peter has a great poolside manner, too— the kids always enjoy taking lessons from him.
I would highly recommend Oceanus to anyone looking for private swim lessons or one-on-one training that you simply cannot get with group lessons.
I turned to swimming in my 40s when running was no longer a competitive option for me. I swam on my own for a good while, but quickly came to the conclusion that swimming is 90% technique. If I ever wanted to get faster and feel better coming out of the pool, I needed professional help.
Pete has really shown me the way. We started with an in-person lesson about twice a month and then moved to distance training, meaning that Pete would send me workouts via email for my week of swims (3 swims a week on average) and then I would report back.
Having to juggle work, tri-training, and a toddler, this method was a really efficient way to improve my swimming without being locked into a set schedule of Masters [Adult Competitive Swimming].
My schedule is a bit easier now, and building on the work Pete and I did together, I swim confidently with a Masters group now. Masters swimming is great for the camaraderie— however, it is no substitute for one-on-one coaching. Pete and I continue to meet periodically in person to refine technique, and I consider this time invaluable.
I am an African-American male, and I began taking swimming lessons from Peter in August of 2007 at the age of 59.
I had just returned from a vacation in Hawaii. While on vacation, I was the only person who didn't know how to swim, so I decided to take lessons from Pete. I almost drowned taking swimming lessons in 1968 at Howard University where I was a student. I was 20 years old then and after the near drowning incident, I swore I would never get back into a pool. Pete got me out of being terrified of both the deep end and shallow water.
To make a long story short, I am now swimming with much improvement. I am now 66 years old, and thanks to Peter and his patience with a very beginner, terrified swimmer, I love to swim and have found a sport that is great exercise for my diabetes and overall health. I now swim an average of 6 days a week for 2 hours, and I have jumped off of the diving board into twelve feet of water numerous times.
"Highly Competent – Extremely Pedagogical – Excellent Communication"
My two kids have worked with Peter for more than two years now, and it is a real chance for our family to be able to rely on his competence.
My older son is a competitive swimmer with attention deficit and a serious lack of self-esteem, although he loves swimming and is willing to do the work to be a great swimmer. Peter is extremely patient with him, and my son has made huge progress across the board.
Besides working on specific skills, Peter also provides my son with feedback on his achievement, clearly explaining what works and what needs improvement, which to me is very important.
Even though my son is often reluctant to practice with his team, he always runs to the pool when he has a lesson with Peter, and believe me, after a lesson, my son is super-motivated. I wish he could swim with Peter more often!
My younger son is not as engaged in swimming as his brother and has talked about giving up the team… but he always asks for swimming with Peter.
Peter is not only an excellent coach for swimmers, but also an excellent parent advisor. I do not know much about swimming, and I was not familiar with swim meets and other competitions. Peter's advice and time devoted to supporting us as parents of swimmers is more than helpful.
Communication is excellent and very easy. Scheduling a lesson is easy as pie. When I ask technical or practical questions, or when I share concerns or worries, Peter is always quick to respond very thoroughly.
It is extremely reassuring for me, as a mother, to know I can count on his support. Peter’s goals are undoubtedly to have my kids improve in all domains: strokes, start and turn techniques, endurance, motivation, and self-assurance. He is very engaged in keeping track of their progress and provides guidance for the future.
As an educator myself, I am impressed by how Peter can boost kids' motivation and confidence while having them drastically improve their swimming skills. We are really grateful to work with Peter, and we truly hope he will keep working by our side!
Thank you so much, Peter! | 2019-04-25T20:26:51 | http://oceanus-consulting.com/testimonials.html |
