Natural gas utilities received 11.7 billion cubic metres of total marketable gas in September, up 7.3% from the same month in 2014 and the sixth successive year-over-year increase.
Gas utilities sold 5.4 billion cubic metres of natural gas in September, up 8.5%. At the same time, revenues were down 30.3% from 12 months earlier to $789.9 million. Sustained low prices have continued to depress natural gas revenues.
In September, total receipts of marketable gas in Alberta were up 12.0% to 8.5 billion cubic metres. Meanwhile, British Columbia posted a 2.0% decrease to 2.8 billion cubic metres.
By province, Alberta (up 10.4% to 2.9 billion cubic metres) and Ontario (up 9.8% to 1.2 billion cubic metres) reported the two biggest changes in sales of natural gas compared with September 2014.
The volume of sales to the residential (+4.3%) and industrial (+10.0%) sectors was up, while the commercial sector was down 0.7% compared with the same month a year earlier.
Lower natural gas prices contributed to decreased year-over-year revenues in every province in September, led by Alberta (down 57.1% to $176.3 million) and Quebec (down 19.5% to $89.5 million).
Canada's imports of natural gas rose 10.5% to 1.6 billion cubic metres in September. This was the first year-over-year gain since March 2014.
Exports of natural gas by pipelines to the United States increased 5.2% to 6.1 billion cubic metres.
Data for July and August 2015 have been revised.
Import and export data are a combination of National Energy Board and survey data.
Marketable gas data reported for British Columbia also include data for Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
Total marketable gas includes gas received from fields and processing or reprocessing plants after re-injection, field uses, plant shrinkage, plant use and losses have been deducted. | 2019-04-26T16:46:10 | https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/151123/dq151123c-eng.htm |

Optimizing eDiscovery is a critical issue in today’s enterprise, which is facing increasing regulatory and litigation pressures involving unstructured data. Being aware of and having rapid access to this type of information is becoming increasingly important to business decisions and protecting intellectual property.
eDiscovery is a major driver for Information Classification and Management (ICM) technologies. StoredIQ fits firmly into the ICM space and is riding the eDiscovery wave into companies that have had enough of discovery costs and costly failures, and are ready to make a change for the better.
The shift away from proprietary scale-up architectures towards horizontally scalable or scale-out solutions based on standard commodity components is gaining significant momentum in the real customer environments. In industries like Financial Services, Life Sciences, and Oil & Gas, high node count Linux clusters provide the level of scalability and performance required for massively parallel applications performing arbitrage analysis, geo-seismic data analysis, and genetic sequencing operations. | 2019-04-25T01:58:32 | http://tanejagroup.com/profiles-reports/category/big-data/P36 |

Skechers GOwalk: My Must Have!
Initially, when I received these shoes, what a surprise! So far away from my style! I know this design is the big trend of this winter, but I’m not trends! It took me almost a month before wearing them around mid-August. Then I suddenly loved them (yes after wearing them): absolute comfort with the Memory Foam insole. A blessing for my feet!
Since then they go with me everywhere. They are lightweight and amazing for long walks in town. I even use them when I have to get to a formal appointment. And I swapped my Skechers GOwalk for high heels once arrived at destination. For few months, from the Lisbon Vogue Fashion’s Night Out to a fashion exhibition in Rotterdam … I’ve kept them with me (photo montage below)!
The day before taking these photos, I washed my slip-on sneakers in the washing machine. I feared they deteriorate but not, they stay fine. The only negative point about them is the smell. Maybe they need their ventilation system to be improved, or using antiperspirant materials.
I’ve had my Sketchers Flex Appeal since summer and I haven’t really been diligent in sport. Actually it’s not true, I focused on aquatics. But I also test my sneakers indoors running on a treadmill several times.
En In addition to have a smart design, they also feature the Memory Foam, a flexible sole that takes the shape of the foot and work as a pillow for the foot during the effort. These sneakers are very light and flexible for a better comfort.
As a beginner runner, they perfectly suit me. By cons I have not used them outdoors, so I do not know if they have a good grip (on wet soils for example), or if they are easy to clean (mud etc …).

A Republican-controlled Indiana House committee has approved a GOP budget proposal that would keep overall education funding at current levels while making major shifts in the way money is divvied up among individual school districts.
The House Ways and Means Committee voted 15-8 along party lines Friday to advance the new $28 billion, two-year state budget that Republicans said held most spending flat while avoiding tax increases. The budget would keep overall education spending steady, but includes changes to the distribution formula that will hurt some urban and rural schools and help some suburban schools.
"It is tough on some school corporations, there is no doubt about it," said Committee Chairman Rep. Jeff Espich, R-Uniondale.
Democrats said many districts would be devastated by the cuts.
"We've got to figure out a way to mitigate the losses to some of these school corporations," said Rep. Terry Goodin, D-Crothersville.
Democrats plan to propose several changes to the bill next week when the measure is before the entire GOP-led House for consideration.
But Friday, Democrats suggested one change they said was fundamental — eliminating a provision in the budget that allows the governor to withhold funds allocated in the budget during tough economic times.
Democrats said Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, has abused that power by cutting too much from the state budget when there is still some money in reserves. Rep. Scott Pelath, D-Michigan City, said elected officials — not bureaucrats — need to decide how the state spends its money. If the governor can withhold spending the General Assembly has ordered, he said, the budget merely becomes "something that's dropped in a suggestion box."
But Republicans said the provision is key to keeping the state in good financial standing even when the part-time Legislature isn't in session. Daniels has cut millions from the current budget as revenues fell below expectations. Rep. Eric Turner, R-Marion, said if Daniels hadn't made the cuts, lawmakers would be figuring out ways right now to raise taxes.
"I am very thankful and I think the people of Indiana are very thankful that the governor was willing to make those cuts and not have further taxation on Hoosiers," Turner said.
Republicans rejected the Democratic proposal on a party line vote.
— Restores a 3 percent cut to higher education proposed in Daniels' version of the budget. But it does not fund any repair projects or authorize any new capital projects for universities.
— Implements limits on tuition increases at Indiana colleges and universities. The limits would be set by the state Commission for Higher Education.
— Restores cuts Daniels wanted to make in optional Medicaid services for adults including dental and podiatry services.
— Temporarily suspends pay raises for state legislators, judges and prosecutors.
— Spends about $60 million more over two years than Daniels' proposal. The House Republican budget leaves about $588 million in reserves at the end of fiscal year 2013. The governor's proposal would leave about $725 million in reserves. | 2019-04-25T13:50:05 | https://www.ibj.com/articles/25422-gop-led-indiana-house-panel-oks-new-budget-proposal |

I think it's a wonderful idea!!! We used mirrored trim (gasp) in our dining room. Our builder and designer looked at us like we were crazy but it turned out unbelievably amazing!!! Good luck and I can't wait to see the final results! I'm pinning all the images above for our next home. Thanks for the inspiration!
Go gold or go home lady. I'm with your mom on this one. PS I choked on my Redbull re: whore house! Pretty sure there are some tastefully designed whore houses around. someplace. lol. have a fab day.
You and me both...if I had that in my apartment I for sure would just stare at it, so opulent, almost as if I was living in Versailles!
I find this style so elegant and European. Love it!
I'll take any place with golden accents - so luxe!
I think its worth a try because if its done right (and you can do it right) it will look beyond amazing.
oh my gosh i can't wait to see how it turns out!
Good luck!!! I can't wait to see how it turns out. I'm sure it will look fabulous.
Other than some paint and time, what are you really out if you do it? And then you'll know. And we'll all know. Personally, though, I think it's going to look fabulous!! I can't wait to see it!

Family: Slain Rayvon Little enjoyed basketball, reading | Homicide Watch Chicago | Mark every death. Remember every victim. Follow every case.
Authorities said Little was outside when somebody in a passing group opened fire. Little was shot multiple times and died about an hour later at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County. Another man, 19, was shot in the leg but survived.
Rayvon Little, who attended a local alternative high school, enjoyed riding his bicycle through the neighborhood and playing basketball and football at local parks, his grandmother said.
At home, Rayvon Little would “read for hours” and wanted to become a teacher, his grandmother said.
“He wanted to better himself, but I guess it was too little too late,” said Richardson, who added “it can happen to anybody [in this neighborhood]”.
Christine Little said her grandson was out when the gunfire erupted, but she never thought it was him who was shot.
Immediately after the shooting, Christine Little said she went to the front windows, but she was unable to get a good look because the windows were being replaced and were covered with plastic.
Christine Little said nobody knocked on her door to tell her it was her grandson who was killed until after police left.
Nobody has been charged for the murder. Area South detectives are investigating. | 2019-04-19T23:11:33 | http://chicago.homicidewatch.org/2015/02/05/family-slain-rayvon-little-enjoyed-basketball-reading/index.html |
Restructuring and group reorganisation are paying off: provisional figures for 2018 indicate that the SYZYGY Group achieved a rise in sales of 8 per cent to EUR 65,3 million. The core German market saw growth of 16 per cent. Operating income was the highest in the company’s history.
Operating income increased by around 48 per cent to EUR 6,1 million. The operating margin improved by 1.5 per cent points, thus approaching the target of 10 per cent. Financial income amounted to EUR 0,5 million, meaning that total net income after taxes will be around EUR 5,0 million (+18%). Earnings per share will be approximately EUR 0.36. The company has liquid funds of EUR 22 million.
Due to the strong cash position, the Management Board and Supervisory Board have decided to propose a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share for the 2018 financial year at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 7, 2019. This represents sustained dividend growth over a period of more than ten years.
The positive performance is partly the result of systematically expanding business with existing clients throughout the Group. The level of new business, especially in the 4th quarter of 2018, is another key factor. There were project wins from major companies such as Daimler Financial Services, Deutsche Bahn, Huawei, PayPal, the Polish Football League (PZPN), Porsche and Viega.
“Even though we are slightly below our sales forecast due to Brexit-related exchange rate losses, SYZYGY is on a solid growth path. This is also reflected in the operating margin. Positive integration of our acquisitions is strengthening cross-selling and will boost organic growth in 2019 through significant new business. This year, we will continue to concentrate on our core German business and intensify interdisciplinary cooperation. Our success in 2018 was a strong, cross-discipline team effort and this positive trend is set to continue in 2019,” commented Lars Lehne, Chairman of the Management Board of SYZYGY AG.
The SYZYGY Group will remain focused on expansion in its core German market in 2019, with integration of the service portfolio to create end-to-end solutions playing an important role. In Munich, the company will shortly open the first SYZYGY Campus, where for the first time all disciplines will work together on client projects at one location.
Due to the strong level of new business and high number of enquiries, SYZYGY expects 2019 to see another increase in sales in the high single-digit range. Operating income (EBIT) is expected to rise slightly ahead of sales. | 2019-04-23T20:27:27 | https://www.syzygy.net/global/en/news/syzygy-continues-to-deliver-success-with-8-per-cent-growth |

“There was a team of five women that work in the hospital and prisons as evangelists. The five women shared one Bible. When we gave each of them a Bible, they said, ‘When do we have to return them to you?’ We said they are yours to keep forever.
Love Packages ships donated bibles and other Christian literature, in 20-ton cargo containers, to partner distributors around the world. One container costs between $3500 and $9000.

I've been waiting for some time for the primetime pundits to figure something out. Which is that much of China's "exports" to the USofA isn't visible as such. So today, (I hate) Neil Irwin and Paul Krugman both point to the real issue. Which is that red-blooded, God fearing American corporations use Chinese labor and capital to a significant extent. That iPhone is a Chinese "import", even as Apple is an "American" company.
When Apple assembles an iPhone in Zhengzhou and sells it in Shanghai, that doesn't count as international trade, though the profits accrue to the benefit of a California-based company. The Chinese government has any number of tools to try to weaken that business if it wishes. It could decide that phones made by a foreign company are a national security threat, or shut down plants because of minor regulatory problems.
China is the Great Assembler: it's where components from other countries, like Japan and South Korea, are put together into consumer products for the U.S. market. So a lot of what we import from China is really produced elsewhere.
Just as American capital fled New England for the Rebel South, and then Mexico; they now decamp to China. The impact on American labor is not subtle, which fact played into Orange Julius Caesar's paranoid mind (note to self: some praise paranoia), and he lied on it to the Throne. As previously noted, the USofA no longer has the raw materials to make primary steel or aluminum in quantity. The salvation of redundant coal miners and steel workers is socialism. Taxing, which is what tariffs do (just read up Smoot-Hawley), just makes things worse for everyone. The right wingnuts, naturally, cry "but Pareto says you can't redistribute!!". There are only two choices; 1) let them perish or 2) support them. Socialism makes the support explicit and efficient. Tariffs and other market meddling only rewards the 1%, mostly.
[T]he total wholesale value of the iPhone — for the 3G model it was about $180 — goes on the Chinese import side of the trade ledger. As a result, says economist Rob Feenstra of the University of California, Davis, "The U.S. trade deficit with China tends to be exaggerated."
In a much-talked-about paper, Chinese economist Yuqing Xing took a stab at the figure. "If you look at the manufacturing costs, China's contribution is $6.50."
He says that figure represents the actual cost of assembling each iPhone. And he concludes that if that number were used instead of the entire wholesale cost, the U.S. trade deficit with China would shrink by roughly $2 billion.
So, we know that the net Chinese imports, and by net we mean product fully created within China with Chinese materials and capital and labor, is far less than the $375 billion (yes, Orange Julius Caesar brays $500 billion) that even the mainstream pundits state.
The moral of the story: figures don't lie by liars figure. | 2019-04-23T19:55:31 | http://oursalon.ning.com/profiles/blogs/parts-is-parts |
Huawei is planning to unveil the Huawei P30 series at an event in Paris next month, the company revealed in the press release, which doesn’t reveal any other details about the devices.
The case maker Spigen released press renders of its upcoming P30 series protective cases. The P30 series is expected to deliver four-lens and triple-lens cameras, according to these renders.
In the protective case, the front is pictured with the date March 28. In the earlier report, the company revealed the P30 series will be unveiled in Paris at the end of March, so we might be looking at the actual launch date.
According to rumors, the Huawei P20 will feature a 6.1-inch OLED panel while the P30 Pro will go up to the 6.5-inch display. They will be powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 SoC coupled with 8GB of RAM on the P30 and 12GB of RAM on the P30 Pro. | 2019-04-20T10:47:51 | https://www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-p30-and-huawei-p30-pro-with-protective-cases/ |
By the time we got to Alvor, a few hours later than expected, the tide was well on its way out, so we anchored just off the channel by the entrance. This turned out to be a serendipitous decision. Once we were settled Arthur’s first words were something along the lines of “its good to be at anchor. It is beautiful here.” He was right – the kids, and us, are so much happier out of the marina/city and with space to explore and play without restraint.
The next day was spent largely on two beaches, either side of the sand dunes. We saw a real-life example of “Sharing a Shell” (one of the kids’ favourite books), with a hermit crab struggling to carry an anemone; only missing the bristleworm trying to get in, wriggling and making a fuss. Anyway, it was cool to see and watch for a while. Exploration of the sand dunes and sand-building sites (including an extensive crab harbour) ensured the time passed quickly and with many smiles.
We moved up the river to the main anchorage, or rather outside the main anchorage – we couldn’t see a space with comfortable swinging room in the anchorage itself, so put ourselves near to another catamaran over the river, with our swinging circle taking us about 10m from a sandbar. Later in the day Dave took Arthur over to the sandbar and dropped him off, which he loved as it meant he got to explore the sandbar on his own for a short while before Charlotte and Theo joined him by kayak.
The sand dunes outside Alvor have a wonderful walking route through them which we visited after a grocery shop. The town itself, while VERY touristy, seemed nice enough. We could have happily spent a few more days there, but had to get to Faro the following day to meet up with Nana G. As the bottom of the boat was heavily fouled having spent too long in a marina, a couple of hours after high-tide we went back to the sand-bars near the entrance from the sea to the river and sat the boat on the sand. One of the pleasures of owning a catamaran is that in sheltered waters we can simply drive onto a beach and “park”!
By 6pm it was shallow enough for Dave to get into knee/waist deep water to clean the hulls and check the boat over; and by low water we realised we would struggle to get off in the morning at the time we were hoping to. So, Dave dragged the anchor out about 40m to where the water was waist-deep and left it there for the night, hoping that as the tide returned and then ebbed it would drag us somewhere slightly lower. We ended up floating by about 9:30am (2 hours after low water), slightly later than hoped but much earlier than we would have been able had we left the anchor alone. Well worth the effort. | 2019-04-22T09:43:58 | http://gone.world/listing/alvor/ |

Adobe Experience Manager Mobile Version 2016.9, released July 20, includes new and improved features, and several bug fixes.
Add custom Cordova plugins to an AEM Mobile app to access custom device-level functionality. Create custom plugins or use plugins available from the Cordova/PhoneGap community. Examples of custom plugin usage include enabling mobile barcode scanning, accessing geofences, and leveraging mobile databases in an app. The core Cordova plugins made available in a previous release are still available for use, including Geolocation, Camera, and Contacts.
Apps that use custom Cordova plugins are built differently than the standard method for building apps and require using the updated AEM Mobile Developer Tool to specify which Cordova plugins will be used. For iOS apps, the Developer Tool is used to modify the downloaded .ipa. For Android apps, the Developer Tool is used to create an .apk file, which is then uploaded using the new Custom App Shell tab that appears when creating or editing an Android app.
For now, AEM Mobile apps can only use these custom plugins at the article level, in open articles.
The AEM Mobile Developer Tool has been updated for both iOS and Android. This updated developer tool allows users to build and test apps that include custom Cordova plugins.
Providing a custom UI, such as an HTML form, instead of using the standard username and password prompt.
Enhancements to custom authentication allow for the use of multiple authentication methods within the same app, for example.
The Search feature is no longer in beta. In-app searching allows for quick access to an app’s content. In-app searching includes language support and is available for all platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, and Desktop Web Viewer. | 2019-04-23T12:17:59 | http://www.tech4pub.com/2016/07/21/adobe-experience-manager-mobile-v2016-9-release-new-features-enhancements-and-bug-fixes/ |

Over the years, my mom has gone out of her way to help me smile especially when I am unwell by making me soup, and getting me what I need, so I can get back on my feet. As a mom, I do the same with my children. I find it heart breaking to watch our children being sick and not being able to do enough to help them.
My experiences, makes me understand the labour of love my mom went through with my siblings and I. I think we need to all take time and thank our moms for taking care of us when we needed them the most. Watch the above video and share it among your friends.

I’ve recently started building chef scripts to manage server configurations in Azure. This is a nice way of creating VMs that can then make use of the Azure autoscale features. I did not however have a convenient way of quickly testing these scripts when I made some modifications. Therefore I decided to use Vagrant to test these scripts before deploying them. In this post I’ll be detailing that process.
Vagrant is a really neat virtual machine manager. It works with VirtualBox to allow you to quickly run virtual machines whose configuration you specify in various Vagrantfiles. Vagrant manages downloading and installing the OS, and configuring it the way you want it. Then in the config file you just specify what you want Vagrant to do with the VM (in our case, run some chef scripts) and it’ll do it for you.
The best thing about all of those is that it’s really easy to do. Once you have a config file all you need to do is run a quick vagrant up to start the VM. If you’ve already created it simply running vagrant provision will restart the VM and execute your updated scripts. Pretty handy.
I’ll be using VirtualBox to provision VMs with Vagrant, so first we’ll need to install it. I’m running Ubuntu so the easiest way to do that is to open the Ubuntu Software Center, search for “VirtualBox”, and click install. Alternatively you could run apt-get install virtualbox. While that happens, lets get Vagrant.
Head to the Download Vagrant page and copy the link to the installer for your OS/architecture. I’ll be using the Ubuntu 64bit package. If you’re using another one, replace the link in the wget command. You will also need to wait for the VirtualBox installation to finish before running the dpkg command to install Vagrant.
Note there is a vagrant package available in the Ubuntu source repos, but I had problems with it. For best results I recommend installing the package directly from Vagrant.
This command will create a base Vagrantfile setup to install the precise32 (Ubuntu) image. You can choose another image here if you like. Take a look at the Vagrant Boxes if you want something else.
Where chef.cookbooks_path is the path to your chef cookbooks, and my_cookbook is the name of the chef cookbook you want to run.
If all goes well Vagrant will install the box you’ve asked for, install the Chef extension, and run your cookbook. You’ll be able to see the output of all of this in your command window.
Where config.berkshelf.berksfile_path is the path to the Berksfile in your cookbook. | 2019-04-22T08:10:00 | https://michaelblouin.ca/blog/2015/06/14/chef-scripts-vagrant/ |

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. It ensures that all communications between the browser and your website is secure. HTTPS is often used to protect highly confidential online transactions like online banking and online shopping order forms. Converting Site from HTTP to HTTPS is quite easy if you follow the guidelines easily. Websites across the world are moving to HTTPS to be secure and protect from unwanted data loss.
To make the site HTTPS, one can follow the 5 steps listed below to make the website HTTPS. This is a complete guide HTTP to HTTPS for ensuring easy understanding of the process.
SSL certificate require that the website must have an own dedicated IP address. With a dedicated IP, it ensures that traffic going to that IP address is only going to your website and no one else’s.
SSL certificates are small data files which bind a key to a specific organization’s details. When people visit your site via HTTPS that password is checked, and if it matches, it automatically verifies that your website is who you say it is – and it encrypts everything flowing to and from it.
Activating the SSL is key to the authentication and process of making the website HTTPS. If you’re activating the certificate yourself, the next step is to generate a CSR. It’s easiest to do this within your web hosting control panel – such as WHM or cPanel. Go to the SSL/TLS admin area and choose to “Generate an SSL certificate and Signing Request”.
If you’re installing up the certificate yourself, this is the easiest step you’ll ever do. You have the certificate in hand, all you need to do is paste it into your web host control panel. If you’re using WHM. CPanel, click the “Install an SSL Certificate” from under the SSL/TLS menu.
Sitemaps aren’t required for Google to crawl your site, but they can be useful if you are trying to debug indexing issues. As the above information clearly illustrate the importance of the HTTPS, it is much needed. | 2019-04-22T08:22:04 | https://www.samskritisolutions.com/blog/migrate-from-http-to-https/ |

Why put poison bottles in a toddler app?!!!
My two year old loves this app but I just don’t understand why there is a poison bottle to collect at the bottom of the ocean in the boat scene. It has become a teachable moment but I don’t believe it should be something that is forced in a child’s game. Removing it would be a wonderful fix!

Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by screensaver400, Oct 20, 2005.
I'm considering upgrading a family member's eMac 800 from 128mb of ram with Jaguar to 256 mb of ram with Tiger.
Would she feel a speed increase, or a slow-down?
Increase... although even 256MB is not enough.
It will be better, and if that is the maximum you want to do it will work fine. But you will find it to work MUCH better with at least 512 total.
I know it's not enough. I tried to sell her on a 512 stick, but even the $80 OWC charges is too much. She was receptive about the benefits, but as soon as I mentioned the price she cut me off before I could say another syllable.
I might be able to sell her on a 256 stick, though (total of 384).
What I'm trying to figure out is, would Tiger eat up the ram more quickly, thanks to Spotlight and Dashboard? Or would there still be a speed increase?
Spotlight and Dashboard can both be turned off. Do a google search or search the forums here, or ask in the forums to find out how - it's pretty easy. 256 will definitely be an improvement over 128, with or without Spotlight & Dashboard, even though Tiger is more bloated.
Dashboard only loads when you first launch it yourself after boot. So, eliminate the Dock icon and keyboard references and it will never load, even if you hit F12. Spotlight doesn't seem to do much after initial indexing unless you use it. I'm not sure if there is a way to disable Spotlight altogether, but you could just put "Macintosh HD" in the Privacy section of the Spotlight preference pane. Then there would be nothing allowed to index.
I'm impressed Jaguar'll even run on 128, but I can pretty much guarantee it's running dog-slow no matter what she's doing. 256 will be an improvement no matter what, even with the more RAM-hungry Tiger on it (and actually, Tiger has enough speed benefits over Jaguar that it you'd probably come out ahead even if it was equally RAM starved at 256, which it won't be).
That said, do anything you possibly can to talk her into at least another 256MB--384MB will make a HUGE difference over 256, and Tiger might actually run somewhere close to how it should if she doesn't push it (I've run Panther comfortably at that level on a number of machines at work). Compared to 128, it'll be like a new computer.
Considering that DMS charges $20 for 128 and $33 for 256, not spending the extra $13 borders on stupid. I can see, though, how $80 could feel a bit steep even if it would make a difference (which wouldn't be as much as from 256 to 384).
No slowdown on yours? I got a G3 500 Mhz ibook with the same ram, and Panther is even slow...Tiger would probably be a slug! | 2019-04-23T00:13:56 | https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/tiger-with-256.156162/ |

The Trade Mark Law Modernization Act ("Markenrechtsmodernisierungsgesetz"), which entered into force on January 14, 2019, brought several amendments to the German Trade Mark Act.
Trademarks no longer need to be capable of being represented graphically. This makes it easier to provide a suitable representation for non-traditional marks, e.g. sound marks which are not music, multimedia marks, holograms and others by submitting an electronic file.
Certification marks have been introduced as a new trade mark category.
Protected geographical indications and protected designations of origin, wines and spirits protected under national or European legislation or agreements, traditional specialties and plant varieties constitute new absolute grounds for refusal. PGIs and PDOs can also be the basis of oppositions.
Licenses as well as the willingness to grant licenses or sell/transfer a trade mark can be recorded in the trade marks register.
For trade marks registered on or after January 14, 2019, the term of validity ends on the 10th anniversary of the application date, not on the last day of the month which concludes the 10-year period.
The list of goods and services will no longer be re-classified upon renewal.
An opposition may be based on several marks, upon payment of an additional fee. It is no longer necessary to file a separate opposition for each mark on which an opposition is to be based.
The parties in opposition proceedings may request a "cooling-off" period, which may be further extended upon joint request.
The period for which use of the earlier mark must be proven in opposition proceedings is five years before the application or priority date of the contested mark. It is no longer necessary to also prove use of the earlier mark during the five-year term before the final decision is rendered.
The five-year non-use grace period for a newly registered mark starts from the end of the opposition period or from the date the decision in the opposition proceedings becomes final. The non-use grace period start date and end date will be entered into the Register. | 2019-04-26T06:44:13 | https://euromarkpat.com/en-news-article/germany-amendments-to-the-german-trade-mark-act-as-of-january-14-2019.html |
What’s the biggest problem in America today? To American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks, it’s how we treat each other. But there’s a solution—and we can all work to make it happen.
That’s a pretty unflattering picture of how we speak to and act toward one another—but it’s not hard to see in our modern society. Take social media, which Brooks called “a contempt machine”: It’s easy to sit anonymously behind a screen and vilify another person. From television to college campuses, there’s a widespread culture of demonizing the other side.
This is where the embrace of free and open societies is so important, Brooks explained in a sit-down interview with the Goldwater Institute. Freedom is the best way to achieve happiness because “one of the pillars of the happiest possible life, of a life of purpose and meaning is earning your success and serving others”—and the free enterprise system is the best way to get there. | 2019-04-21T22:28:17 | https://indefenseofliberty.blog/2019/02/02/how-do-we-bring-america-together-arthur-brooks-says-love-your-enemies/ |
If a large part of your retirement savings is in an IRA or a 401(k), you could be facing a significant tax bill in the future. Here are some ways to minimize your taxes while maximizing your retirement income.
It makes sense that everyone’s retirement plans should be different and adjusted to personal circumstances. If you have lots of children and have already paid for several college bills, for instance, you might have less home equity than your neighbors. If you have built up large stock holdings, you will be thinking about how to manage market risk.
A constant for every portfolio, though, is taxes.
If you set aside a portion of your earnings in a 401(k) or IRA, that doesn’t mean taxes were forgiven — they were only deferred. You will still owe money to the IRS at some point in the future on any investment earnings on these savings accounts or on any deferred annuities that you might hold that were not taxed currently. Lastly, if you’ve got appreciated securities in your personal savings, you’ll owe taxes when you sell them.
But the reality also includes this: By anticipating the different requirements of each stage of our working and retirement years — and by following IRS rules — we can maximize the after-tax income from these savings.
The tax bomb can be defused.
A friend of a friend contacted me recently with a unique situation. He had put money into his 401(k) diligently and for dozens of years. As he nears retirement, he has very little home equity, almost nothing in personal savings and more than $2 million accumulated in his 401(k) plans from two different employers.
Rather than being happy, he is justifiably worried about losing 30% of that money to taxes. Regulations will force him to begin taking required minimum distributions from his account when he reaches the age of 70½. As his circumstances stand now, he will be taxed at the highest rate. His $2 million, in other words, is worth $1.4 million to him.
His situation in an extreme example of the tax bomb.
Just as everyone’s retirement circumstances differ, the question of how to optimize your after-tax income in retirement does not have a one-size-fits-all answer. (By the way, most retirement calculators don’t even address taxes.) And, of course, taxpayers have the right to minimize the effect of taxes on their income while still obeying the tax laws.
Your personal solution will involve devising the most efficient way to convert each of your major sources of savings to income. Here are some tips that apply to everyone who has accumulated significant wealth in retirement savings accounts.
401(k) and rollover IRA. Consider using 25% of the account — up to $125,000 — to purchase a qualified longevity annuity contract, or QLAC. This is a form of deferred income annuity that starts paying you at an age you set, usually 80 or 85, in anticipation of late-in-retirement expenses. It also defers taxes until you start receiving QLAC payments. Once a QLAC is in place, consider a strategy that generates the highest income until the QLAC kicks in.
Personal savings. Stock dividends are assessed at lower tax rates than regular income. In addition, your heirs – surviving spouse and children — will get the best tax benefit from this account because, upon your death, they receive a “step-up in basis” and pay no taxes on prior gains. So, if you can afford it, spend the dividends, but let the capital gains accumulate.
Equity in your home. For some people, this represents your largest source of savings and probably receives the most favorable tax treatment. You can tap that equity and receive tax-free cash with a reverse mortgage or home equity line of credit (with tax-deductible interest). Of course, you should have a long-term plan for paying interest and principal when required. That interest may or may not be deductible. Check with your tax adviser.
Addressing your tax liability requires thoughtful planning and careful decision-making, but when you take the time to understand your options, you can defuse a “tax bomb” with a reasonable tax-management approach that allows you to generate the highest amount of spendable, after-tax income. Of course, stay current on tax matters, because they’re subject to change in our present environment. | 2019-04-18T15:43:25 | http://wwa.kiplinger.com/article/taxes/T047-C032-S014-defuse-the-tax-bomb-that-threatens-retirement.html |
Luigi with a flower ailment in Ultimate.
Flower is a special condition and an attack effect that forms a flower on a character's head. Known as RipStickFlower in Brawl, and SSB4's files, the condition can be set in Special Smash for all fighters to permanently have flowers on their heads. The flowering effect is simply a variation of the magic effect. The only items that can put a flower on the foe's head is Lip's Stick, and a summoned Togepi from a Pokeball can also give the player a flower effect if it chooses to do leech seed. The flower will continuously deal damage (1% every 21 frames in Smash 4). The flower becomes bigger if an opponent already flowered is hit with a flowering attack again. The flower can be removed quickly by button mashing. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Alloys are immune to flowering.
In SSB4, the maximum number of frames that the flower will stay on an opponent's head for is dependant on how much damage the incoming attack dealt. This is equal to damage dealt x 40.5, which damage-wise is equivalent to a little under double the damage dealt by the attack.
In Ultimate, the flower’s appearance was changed and now resembles the pink flowers seen on the title screen of Panel de Pon.

Please find attached an abstract submission for the special issue of JCOM on user-led P2P science. We propose a paper that discusses a specific type of service — the aggregator — that has significant promise for scientific communication and, perhaps more importantly, community building. The authors are users of the FriendFeed service, and we have taken as our central focus the critical analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of this aggregator service and the use patterns it supports. This will be explored with a view to how it enables and supports a wider network of communication and collaboration with its existing science-focussed user community, as well as reflecting on how this communication can be widened to involve a greater contribution from and communication with the interested general public.
The paper itself will be an exemplar of the application of Web2 technologies. The authors are drawn from geographically disparate locations and most have never met in person. The abstract was collaboratively authored, in the open, on a free-hosted wiki service (http://ff4s-paper.wikidot.com) and we will adopt the same approach with the paper. In this respect we would also ask that the journal consider a different license to that usually applied to JCOM articles and would ask that the paper be released under a CC-BY license if selected.

Seriously, I’m beside myself with how excited this makes me.
The trot officially clocked in at 32.91 seconds — nearly 1.5 seconds slower than the previous slowest trot ever.
And that’s being generous! Because of the particular set-up of Fenway Park, there were no cameras to give a clear view of which foot touched home plate first. The 32.91 seconds assumes that Papi’s right foot is the one to reach the base first.
With that evidence (which shows up at the 1:56 minute mark of this video), we can officially re-clock Papi’s record-breaking tater trot. The official time on the slowest home run trot of the Tater Trot Tracker era is now 33.39 seconds.
That’s just about half-a-second longer than what was originally reported, and close to two seconds longer than the previous slowest ever trot.
I’ve always loved Big Papi. Now I love him a half-second more! | 2019-04-22T00:20:13 | http://wezen-ball.com/tater-trot-tracker/david-ortiz-was-even-slower-than-we-thought.html |

Santa Rosa Birth Center offers Midwife Assistant training onsite.
You may be interested in additional training opportunities in our community.
Across many seasons and cultures, mothers have felt best supported by a circle of wise women throughout the childbearing year. As a midwife assistant, you can step into this circle, and bring a unique set of skills and knowledge to prepare the way for new life to come into the world.
This workshop is perfect for anyone who would like to attend births as a midwife assistant in an out-of-hospital environment. For some, this may be a stepping stone towards nursing or midwifery school, for others becoming a midwife assistant will be a rewarding and fruitful career that will continue to present new and engaging learning opportunities, and they will become experts in this incredible role.
The Midwife Assistant Training Workshop will prepare students to assist midwives throughout the prenatal period, during labor, birth, postpartum and newborn care. After completion of the workshop, students will be encouraged to complete the certification process by attending 10 births and receiving feedback from midwives on specific skills.
Upon enrolling in the course, you will receive a required reading list, materials list and syllabus.
We highly recommend completion of a Labor Doula Training Workshop before attending this workshop. While it is not a requirement, doula training encourages birth workers to develop an empathetic and supportive touch to laboring women that is invaluable to anyone in the birth room.
With that said, no experience is required in order to take this course. You will be guided by a team of nurse-midwives, midwife assistants, and experienced doulas who are passionate about helping you succeed.

They claim that they submit to 340k different search engines!
Anyway, on there FAQ they say that you should use multiply domains if you have different language.
that for sure aint good?
isnt it better to keep it all on phone.com and have different flags for each language and link phone.se to phone.com´s swedish section.
is that also true? does this apply to yahoo, lycos, altavista or any other big search engine?
There aren't 340k search engines. There are 4 or 5, and they're owned by 3 companies.
Thats it for major search engines -- the rest just use the others.
Once you get to the next tier, minor search engines, there are maybe 10, but if you get in the major ones the minor ones will pick you up.
Multiple domains doesn't hurt -- plenty of big sites do it, Amazon.com for instance. Of course the method you describe works too.
By definition a search engine indexes more than your homepage -- directories on the other hand will only list what you submit.
Where does MSN fall in that list, Chris?
MSN is powered by LookSmart (a directory) and Inktomi.
If Looksmart indexes your site, will it appear on MSN?
Is quite difficult to get listed on MSN.
Looksmart doesn't index. They are a directory and accept submissions. You can submit through Looksmart.com (and pay) or if your site is non-commercial (ad supported) you can submit through Zeal.com for free. | 2019-04-21T00:08:46 | http://www.websitepublisher.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-293.html?s=ce2a396d1d533e513c5a588a08d56d69 |
Between its numerous casino, hotel and resort properties operating in several different markets across the United States, Camberry Casinos* employs over seven thousand people and serves several thousand more on a daily basis. With all these people comes a wide range of potential security issues—theft, assault and underage gambling among them. Camberry’s surveillance team works around the clock, monitoring activity through a vast network of video cameras, while the company’s security officers respond to incidents as they happen.
Given the sheer volume of incidents documented by Camberry’s surveillance and security teams (hundreds of reports are filed daily), Camberry requires an automated Incident Reporting system that is straightforward and simple to use, facilitating accurate and consistent incident documentation enterprise-wide.
Originally, staff at each property employed their own Incident Reporting process; tracking methods varied from Microsoft® Word documents to Excel® spreadsheets. By 1998, the security team at the Camberry Casino Hotel in greater metropolitan Reno* had launched IRIMS, the leading Incident Reporting software system among corporate security departments at the time. Six years later, after recognizing its value in consolidating information for litigation, Camberry deployed IRIMS across all of its security teams enterprise-wide. One year later, in 2005, the corporation’s surveillance teams were brought on board as well.
Although IRIMS revolutionized Incident Reporting at Camberry, they soon realized that the system—originally developed in 1988—had significant design limitations for an implementation of this scope and magnitude. Its user interface and technological platform were dated. Furthermore, adding properties and teams over a seven-year time span, while amalgamating data tracked through various means, had resulted in a complex system that was difficult to maintain and contained many inconsistencies.
Clearly, in order to efficiently track, analyze and report on incident activity for effective response and outright prevention, Camberry required an automated Incident Reporting system that they could set up right from the start with a current technological backbone offering a high degree of enterprise scalability.
After researching their options for moving forward, Camberry narrowed their list of candidates down to three leading automated Incident Reporting systems, and by the corporation’s Security Summit in 2006, a clear front runner had emerged— the next generation of IRIMS—Resolver. Susan Kedzo, a Resolver Senior Account Manager, had presented the solution at the Summit, and both Ron Smith and Camberry’s security directors were very impressed with the system’s capabilities.
By October 2007, within a few short months of Camberry’s purchase of the system, Resolver was up and running across Camberry’s security and surveillance teams corporate-wide, with all of the company’s existing IRIMS data available for continued querying and reporting.
Due to Resolver’s intuitive and straightforward setup, data is entered accurately and consistently. This has been a tremendous benefit for Camberry when dealing with employee accidents and injuries. Any time an accident or injury occurs onsite, an incident report noting all the relevant details is entered into Resolver. Among the information included in the report are copies of all requisite paperwork, such as signed statements from the employees involved, and photographs of the incident scene and involved persons, particularly shots of any visible injuries. Later on, if an employee files a workers’ compensation claim for an injury incurred from the incident, Camberry can reference the incident record to verify the employee’s claim. If there is a discrepancy between the employee’s signed statement at the time of the incident and their later claim, or between the original photographic evidence and the claim, Camberry has compelling evidence that the injury claim may be fraudulent.
Camberry’s solid incident documentation is not only useful for future reference and verification, but it also offers nearly limitless querying and reporting potential. In particular, Smith has found tremendous value in Analysis Expert, Resolver’s built-in querying engine. In addition to one-off queries that Smith is asked to run on request, he has created and saved a variety of queries for monitoring particular incident categories, incidents at specific properties and a number of other metrics. He runs these on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, depending on the query, and reports the results to a number of stakeholders across the company, including managers of outside departments and senior executives.
Further, Camberry has used pattern and trend data gathered from Resolver to help perform labor analysis. By identifying the days and times that incident activity is highest, Camberry can determine when additional staff are required most, and by examining the types of incident activity that are most prevalent, Camberry can instruct staff to focus their efforts where they will make the greatest impact.
While this information is certainly useful in allocating resources more effectively, it is also useful in justifying current security expenditures. In addition to incident records and investigation logs in Resolver, Camberry can draw on data from Resolver DispatchLog—an optional Dispatching and Activity Tracking module —to analyze security officers’ day to-day activities. For instance, if a security officer escorts an intoxicated patron from a casino, this activity will not be tracked in Resolver as no actual incident occurred; however, the activity’s details, including the officer’s name, the time the officer was called by casino staff to perform the walk-out and the time the walk-out took place, will all be noted in DispatchLog. In conjunction with the incident data tracked in Resolver, DispatchLog’s records are invaluable in proving the utility of security officers and justifying the costs associated with staffing them.
Resolver would like to thank Ron Smith* and Camberry Casinos* for sharing their experiences.

The dictionary defines an atheist as "a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings." For the purpose of this article, let's narrow down our definition; "narrow down" in a way that makes it broader -- broader in that it encompases almost everyone on earth.
The atheist traditionally denies anything beyond the physical/material world. For them, science is divine revelation, "divine" referring to that which comes from the mind of man, "mind" referring to the result of chemical activity within the human brain.
We're all afraid of the dark, for when we close all the doors, shut all the blinds, pull the drapes, and turn off all the lights, our mind looks elsewhere for vision. And we are, often unknowingly, afraid to see anything with which we are not familiar.
The meditator attempts to face this fear, seeing their own journey into the unknown as a great adventure. Some might even seek out a completely dark, completely silent place which will allow them to plunge into the unknown with as little as possible to hold them back.
Those who have pursued such a practice, or any of many other related practices, for many years and with great dilligence, sometimes find themselves melting away, becoming one with what they believe to be God -- everything. There is no longer a "me" and "you," but there is "all." But what happens next? They think they have arrived. They then become enlightened atheists, in our "modified" definition of the word.
So this will make sense, let us define "atheist" as one who does not believe in God as he is, but accepts something else as God, or the "highest reality."
For the traditional atheist, reason is the roadmap, and the material world is the highest reality. Physical science then becomes their God.
For the one who has experienced oneness with the universe, that is their highest reality. They believe they have entered the place of all knowledge, all life, the source of all things -- God, by whatever name the ego may call it. This level of reality then becomes their God.
Others may worship something higher -- some ONE higher. They may call him by his name, and might reject anything below him as comparitively insignificant. But when confronted with something that is not in line with something they believe is true, they instantly reject it as absolutely false. In this way, when it comes to another aspect of God which isn't in line with their image of God, they become atheists as well -- the atheist as we have defined the word for this article -- someone who is afraid of what they cannot see.
And that brings us to a more specific definition of the word in this discussion: Atheist: Someone who, being afraid of what is dark to them, clings to their own perceived reality at the expense of anything potentially higher, or any potentially illuminating truth which does not conform with what they have accepted as the light of truth. In doing so, they reject God with or without knowing they are doing so. In this way, someone can be this kind of atheist while thinking they believe in God, or "a" god.
"There is nothing beyond the physical." People from all walks of life who believe in the supernatural or the soul see this as narrow-minded and false. But they fall into the same narrow ditch by believing "There is nothing beyond ______ (whatever they have experienced or believe)."
The Muslim rejects the blood sacrifice of Jesus (as do most other religions of the world). The New Ager rejects the God of the Bible altogether, asserting that we are God, since God is the universal mind that can be experienced during deep meditation. Christians reject certain aspects of God, whether it is his Holy Spirit's activities, his justice and judgement, his holiness, or his mercy and love.
That being said, the one whose sins are washed by the blood of the Lamb of God is infinitely better off than the one who has minimized his or her limits of truth but is still on heaven's death row.
The point I'd like for us to take away from this is that traditional atheism is only one form of the fear and denial that comes naturally to us all.
If you believe there is nothing beyond the physical world, you are, obvious to everyone else, an atheist.
If you believe there is nothing greater than the universal mind and the supernatural things people consider the spirit realm, you are a different kind of atheist -- one who thinks you believe in God, but who denies there is anything greater than a counterfeit or something bearing his image.
If you believe in the God who is higher than the oneness of all creation, then you are far better off, but you might be a partial atheist, denying the working of his Spirit, his power and willingness to heal, deliver, to work miracles in our lives, his holiness and his command that we draw close to him and be transformed, through trial and obedience, into his image, or his mercy and love for us all, even if we are still in our sins ("God demonstrates his own love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us"), loving us too much to leave us there.
It's natural to be afraid of the dark. But let's recognize that fear and, instead of thinking we have it all figured out and worshiping the first scene-blocking idol of truth we encounter, let's always remember that there is always much, much more we don't know, and there is always an infinite horizon beyond what we can see, hear, and experience.
In the book of Revelation, we see the angels around the throne day and night saying, "Holy, holy, holy!" Are they like ghosts in haunted houses? Types of recordings that just keep playing over and over again? Did God not give them any other vocabulary, or enable them to do anything or go anywhere else? Or, instead, are they and will they forever be seeing another facet of God's holiness and beauty? Just maybe, even being face to face with God for all eternity, they have not and never will know it all.
We crave knowledge. This craving mixes with our fear of the dark, usually with our thinking we have only that craving rather than fear, and it causes us to latch on to what we think is ultimate truth, be it our religion, our experiences, or our science. But once we do so, a part of us starts to die. We even tend to turn a blind eye to evidence that we might be wrong, simply because it disagrees with what we've insisted is ultimate truth or highest reality.
Don't be an atheist unknown (or known, for that matter). Face your fear of the dark -- the unknown. Never be fooled into thinking you've seen the ultimate reality (the angels haven't even after thousands of years). And be willing to leave your assumptions and conclusions behind rather than letting them keep you in the dark. And always be moving toward the light that is God!
Lucid Dreaming Part 2 - The Dream Journal, or, "Dipping In."
If you've been looking into lucid dreaming very long, probably heard a lot about having a dream journal. Is it really that important? If so, why?
The answer is YES. In fact, some people start having lucid dreams just by using a dream journal. | 2019-04-21T09:16:40 | http://blog.meditatingchristians.com/2010/07/ |

I love pizza and I love cheese and I love potatoes and onions, I mean, I just absolutely love all these ingredients, so when I was browsing Marie's blog and saw this recipe I knew I had to try it.
Pre-heat the oven to 400*F. Lightly grease a 12 inch pizza pan and press the dough out onto it to cover and fill it, making it a bit thicker at the edges and forming a rim.
Place it into the pre-heated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until set and dry to the touch. Remove from the oven and spread with about 1/4 cup of Caesar salad dressing.
Place the crumbled hash browns in a bowl along with the different cheeses and the onions.
Give it all a good mix and then sprinkle it over the partially baked crust, spreading it out evenly.
Drizzle with another 1/4 cup of salad dressing.
Return to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the potatoes are lightly browned and the cheese is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes before cutting into slices to serve.
I'm a seafood lover, if there is a choice between meat and seafood, I will go for the fish. Plain and Simple!
One of my favorite Subway sandwiches is the Seafood Sub, of course, but when I crave it at home I make myself one, it's so quick and simple and just delicious.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 bag of small salad shrimp (make sure to run it under cold water for 5 minutes to defrost), 1/4 finely chopped onion, 1/4 chopped celery, 1 package of crab lump meat.
Add in enough mayonnaise to mix everything together. I am a mayo lover so I tend to overdo it at times but just use your own judgement here.
Mix everything together and then add a pinch of salt and pepper and drizzle some mustard over the top. Again, just eyeball it, as much or as little as you want.
Top with two slices of Swiss Cheese and that's it...you're done.
You can also add green peppers and lettuce etc. I've used this as a base and added more ingredients if I felt like it.
This exactly how I make my roast chicken, so when I saw the recipe at Marie's blog I couldn't help but smile. I changed a few things from her recipe but it's pretty much the same.
Pre-heat the oven to 325*F. Grease a large roasting tin with softened butter and then rub the chicken all over with some more softened butter.
Place the chicken in the pan. Place the halved garlic heads in as well. Sprinkle it all with some sea salt and cracked black pepper. Squeeze the lemon wedges over all and then throw them into the pan as well. Mix together the chicken stock and white wine and drizzle it over. Cover everything with a large sheet of aluminum foil, sealing it tightly, and then place it into the pre-heated oven.
Roast for one hour. Remove it from the oven and take off the foil and discard. Add the rosemary and the bay leaf. Return to the oven and roast, uncovered for another 50 minutes.
Turn the oven temperature up to 425*F. Roast for 30 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and cover loosely, let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving.
I served mine with white rice, ladled some of the gravy from the pan on top and also served a simple salad with it.
I've been on an Applesauce kick, it's applesauce this and applesauce that. Maybe it's because I'm starting to wish for fall and there's nothing like the scent of nutmeg and allspice, mingled with apples to make me feel like I am right in the middle of the season.
I got this recipe from the wonderful Marie at A Year From Oak Cottage. I just LOVE her recipes.
This is a lovely cake that the whole family will enjoy. Deliciously moist and full of the wonderful flavour of spice, studded with soft raisins and crunchy walnuts, this truly is a joy to bake and to eat. The smell of this when it is baking is truly heavenly!
Pre-heat the oven to 180*C/350*F. Lightly grease and flour a 9 by 15 inch baking pan and set aside.
Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, spices and sugar into a large bowl.
Drop in the shortening, applesauce, water and eggs.
Beat it all together with an electric mixer until it is all smooth, beating well. Fold in the sultanas and walnuts.
Bake for approximately 34 to 40 minutes or until lightly browned and the top springs back when lightly touched. Alternately you may use a toothpick to see if it is done, which when inserted will come out clean.
Remove from the oven and place in the pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool make the frosting.
and then beat in the remaining ingredients, beating until smooth and fluffy.
Spread evenly across the top of the cake.
(leave the cake in the pan and serve from there) If you want you can sprinkle more toasted walnuts over the top of the finished cake.
Hello everyone, here's what's on the menu for this week.
If you want to join in with your own menu or take a look at all the other ladies participating, head over to Laura's blog "I'm an Organizing Junkie".
These are the basic ingredients for one serving, but as you will see, it is very easily multiplied to serve as many as you wish. Never has something so simple tasted sooo good! You won't believe it, but . . . this tastes just like a warm cinnamon roll! Whenever we have a child to stay here overnight this is what I make them for breakfast and they love it and of course, I sometimes use it to feed the child in me!
Very easy and so good, especially warm out of the oven.
Heat oven to 400° .Grease 12 muffin tins. Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and reserve. Combine Biscuit Mix and 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Add applesauce, milk, egg and oil. Beat well. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove muffins and dip in melted butter, then in sugar and cinnamon mixture. Yields 12 muffins.
My absolutely favorite cookie, boy do I have to control myself with these, they're up there with my love for donuts and THAT says a lot.
Cream butter, shortening, sugar and eggs, then add vanilla. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt and then incorporate your wet and dry ingredients. Form into balls and roll in a cinnamon & sugar mixture (approximately 1/2 c. sugar and 2 tsp. cinnamon). Bake at 400 for approximately 10 minutes.
incorporate your wet and dry ingredients.
Here's a Portuguese dish that is very well known.
It's filling and it will make it seem like you've been cooking all day when you haven't. Plus, you know when you're Portuguese, it's all about the "molho" (gravy) right?
Slice the onion, pepper and tomatoes. If you're using round eye steak you don't need to cut it or trim it.
If you're using any other type of steak, you may want to trim off some of the fat and cut the steaks in half.
Pour a little olive oil in a big skillet, layer the steak, onions, green pepper and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, 1 tsp. crushed garlic and paprika.
Drizzle with more olive oil and repeat layers. Pour the can of tomato sauce over the steaks.
Cook on medium heat until steaks are done. You will need to keep an eye on it and add a little bit of water every few minutes so it doesn't burn and dry out. You want a good gravy when it's done.
Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or fries. | 2019-04-25T16:42:37 | http://fullbellies.blogspot.com/2008/08/ |
1) A very defensive driver: With more than a million people in the city and many of those people behind the wheel, the roads are swarming with vehicles. Some days I think it’s only a matter of time before I’m involved in an accident.
My Civic… still unharmed… but for how long?
2) A fashion snob: I’ve never been much of a shopper but maybe that’s because I was living in Winnipeg where the shopping was nothing like Calgary. With all the high-end stores like Tiffany and Coach, it can be very tempting for a girl to at least browse and dream.
My red Coach bag purchased at the Coach outlet store for a discount because I can’t afford to pay the regular prices!

About? How does one go about capturing a meandering life in an About? Here is a short Profile version if your curiosity is short: Ed Medley has been on a random walk for over 40 years. Many scribbles and snapshots at this site are from his vagabond transits; others are from his 40 years of international experience in geological and geotechnical engineering, academia, and mineral exploration prospecting.
Curriculum Vitae, means the “course of one’s life”. Mine has not been a linear course. Rather, it has been a random walk – composed of big meandering life lurches with several memorable detours, as sketched here. Note: this history is not my professional CV. (If you want my CV, download it here). My professional biography is outlined on the Professional page at this site; and detailed at my professional website geopractitioner.com. I also have a LinkedIn Profile.
UK: I was born in the United Kingdom. I spent my very early years in Wales but for the most part I was a Londoner. At age 11 I started part-time work on Saturday and during holidays, delivering groceries on a bicycle. For several years I also had part-time jobs as a wine/beer delivery boy, a sales clerk in a book store, a cheese counter assistant, a bookkeeper, and a laundry worker. My parents separated when I was barely a teenager and I became the “man of the house”. In 1966, at age 17, I left Southall Grammar School with GCE “A” Levels in Economics and Geography, and GCE “O” levels in English, History, Geography, Geology and Economics. With these puny qualifications I was still offered a place at Leicester University to study Economics. but I decided not to go to university since I detested the graphs and the dry textbooks of Economics.
I left home in the summer of 1966 and found a job producing sales statistics for Chesebrough-Ponds, an odd job considering I did not understand statistics. (But I have been a dedicated daily user of Ponds Dry Skin Cream for over 40 years). I then took a job as a trainee Systems Analyst at Cerebos Foods in Willesden, London. That was mysterious work too, since I had to learn some basic computer skills. This was in the days when computers were room-sized majesties fed spools of punched paper tape by druids in white lab coats. The job also introduced me to time-and-motion studies. I was good at measuring quality stop watch data for segments of work tasks, known innocently as “elements”. Since I honestly won the trust of unfriendly, suspicious truck drivers and elderly bookkeeping ladies, I was later much distressed when those same elemental date were used to justify staff reductions, some of the reduced folk being staff I had observed.
I had other part-time work while working my day jobs. One was as an occasional Special Effects Assistant at the BBC on the game show “Crossword On Two”. I much enjoyed working at the BBC White City Studios. There was the occasional glamor: I met stars like Marty Feldman, Tony Bennett and Lulu, a pop singer famous at the time. I watched theatrical productions and proudly took friends to “Top of the Pops”, a very popular weekly dance/pop music show.
My mother died suddenly in March 1967. I had just been granted a Canadian visa and had arranged a job with Cerebos in Vancouver. But I put emigration plans aside and stayed in the UK for almost two years while I kept an eye on my 4 siblings, who had been stowed in foster homes. I left Cerebos in late 1968 to work as a warehouseman operating pallet forklift trucks at British American Tobacco near Harrow, Middlesex.
Canada: In February 1969 I emigrated to Halifax, Canada, working my passage for about two weeks as a pantry boy/dishwasher/cabin steward to the Officers Mess on the Norwegian cargo ship M/S. Lundefjell. From Halifax, I made my way to Toronto. Virtually broke, I applied for a job as a miner at the International Nickel mines in Sudbury, Ontario but was turned down at the medical exam because I had a severe hearing loss, which was the first inkling I had of my disability. Interested in the idea of mining (even though I knew nothing about it) I stumbled upon the Annual Prospectors and Developers Convention in Toronto, where I accosted whoever I could for a job in mining. The only people who tried to quell my enthusiasm seemed to be embarrassed fellow Brits.
At the Convention, I received many invitations to talk to people afterward. I was very lucky to be hired by Siegel Associates (Scintrex) to help on one of their mineral exploration geophysical crews. I did not know about geophysics or mineral exploration but the Siegel geophysicists included many hard-working immigrants, and their culture was to take a chance on promising hires regardless of their accents, qualifications or class. That Canadian trait endured me to my new country. Scintrex paid me $400 per month and I was given a Woods 5 Star sleeping bag, designed to keep me comfortable at – 30 degrees.
During spring to fall 1969 I was a data man and navigator with a helicopter geophysics crew performing EM, magnetometer, and radiometric surveys in northern Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. That summer was the start of several years’ relationship with jet helicopters, the high frequency whine of which did not help my hearing at all! I got my first hearing aid at Eatons department store in Toronto in late 1969. The world became much louder, if not clearer.
I went to school during the winter of 1969-1979 studying Public Relations at Humber College in Etobicoke, Ontario. I had been told many times that I was “good with people” and so imagined that Public Relations would be the best career for me. I did well at the courses- except for the typing; and, crafting words into persuasive copy seemed straightforward, if unadventurous. I found a room near the school by picking a nice neighborhood and knocking on doors until a retired couple, Mr and Mrs. Irvine Brown, happily took me in as a full board lodger.
In the summer of 1970, I worked cutting survey lines and claim-staking near Timmins, Ontario. After a few weeks, Scintrex tracked me down and hired me to work in the High Arctic and Labrador working with one of their airborne geophysics systems installed in a noisy de Havilland Otter.
For several weeks we were based at Repulse Bay, an Inuit village; then we moved to a remote site where we had to wait for the ice break up and the caribou to stop migrating through camp. In Labrador we stayed at a strict Mennonite community in the hamlet of Postville. In the late fall, I returned to Toronto via a long coastal steamer trip from Postville, and many flights.
I resumed Public Relations at Humber College. For fun I hosted a lunchtime FM radio show Medley’s Magnificently Melodious Musical Medley, and was also the Assistant Station Manager at CHBR, Canada’s first college FM radio station.
I quit school in about January 1971, disenchanted with the commercial aspects of Public Relations. I wanted more adventure. During the next 2-3 years, I prospected in the remotest areas of Canada with Scintrex, Ingemar Explorations, McIntyre Porcupine, TexasGulf Minerals, Kaiser Resources, Union Miniere, Geosearch Consultants and other mineral exploration firms. I was variously a geophysical operator (EM, Turam, IP, VLF, magnetometer), blaster, line-cutter, geochemical soil and stream sampler.
I became an all-round prospector, proficient with a geological hammer: even if I did not know what type of rock I was whacking, I could recognize sparkling mineralization of copper, lead and zinc. I thrived on the adventure, silence and remoteness of wilderness Canada and developed an abiding fondness for bears and helicopters. Those years were the most physically arduous, hazardous, and romantic of my career. Every geologist should prospect for a while!
Between January and June 1973 I traveled in North Africa, Italy and the UK with my girlfriend Barbara. I spent the summer and fall of 1973 in the Stikine Range of British Columbia as a blaster and geological assistant. Turning 25, I realized that I had to earn a geology degree if I was going to advance my career in mineral exploration. I applied to Albert “Moose” Manifold, head of the Mining Technology program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology at Burnaby, BC. He accepted me as a mature student on the understanding that I learn the necessary math and science. I had no math beyond 4th Form UK (age 14) and virtually no physics or chemistry at all. I married Barbara the weekend I started school; and spent a challenging year of the two-year program, finished top of my class that year and then transferred to the Geological Engineering Program at the University of British Columbia.
I graduated in 1978 with a B. Applied Sc. in Geological Engineering (Geotechnical Engineering Option) and was awarded the first Aro A. Aho Medal given to a Geological Engineering student for academic excellence. I specialized in oceanography, hydraulics, fluvial geomorphology and coastal engineering: my thesis was focused on the effects of river training structures on the development of dendritic drainage patterns on the enormous Fraser River Delta. That research was supported by two summers spent working mapping the sediment distributions of the Fraser River and Kitimat River deltas with Dr. John Luternauer and Dr. John Clague of the Geological Survey of Canada.
In the fall of 1978 I started work with Dames & Moore (now URS Group), a then well-known geotechnical engineering consultancy in Vancouver. But instead of enjoying geotechnical engineering work in the Vancouver area, I had to work away from home at the Syncrude oil sands project in northern Alberta, and at various mine tailings dams projects in Canada and Idaho.
Hawaii: To take a break from my constant working away from home, Barbara and I moved to Hawaii in October 1979 for a short transfer with Dames & Moore in Honolulu. Within a couple of days of arriving in Honolulu, I took a half-day assignment to Maui – and we stayed there over 3 years, starting an office and growing a small Maui geotechnical practise.
In 1982 I became field project manager for a geological engineering project at the Ok Tedi gold mine in the remote Star Mountains of Papua New Guinea. In 1983 I was hired by PSC Associates, a California geotechnical engineering firm, for their new Honolulu office.
Hither and Thither: In early 1985, I had a magnificent midlife drama, with attendant divorce, job/life dissatisfaction and wanderlust, and began what became an almost 2-year trip around the world. I traveled by plane, bus, train, (with bicycle and foot excursions) through Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Scandinavia, Poland, most countries in Europe, Canada and the US. Whenever I needed money I took short engineering contracts, one of which took me to Iran and Kuwait during the Iran/Iraq war.
Hawaii again: In spring 1987, I resumed geotechnical engineering as an independent contractor in Honolulu. I succeeded in earning my Hawaii Professional Engineer license in civil Engineering in 1988, which joined my 1980 Professional Registration as a Geological Engineer in British Columbia. I supplemented my income by tutoring and teaching math, English, and science to middle, high and adult students, and volunteered at a hospice to help several men dying of AIDS and cancer. My last patient was a prisoner dying at the Federal Penitentiary at Halawa Valley. He was a born-again Christian and working with him and his bitter, homophobic, angry cell mates, was emotionally exhausting and I burned out.
San Francisco: In 1989 I took a short assignment in South San Francisco for the Terrabay project, which was the largest residential development in the San Francisco area at that time. The project was fraught with environmental, geotechnical and geological challenges.
I was particularly challenged by a chaotic, heterogeneous geological material I had never before encountered: Franciscan Complex melange (“mélange” is French for “mixture”). Melange, Terrabay and a new girlfriend, Julie, combined to decide me to move to California.
In 1990 I started on a MS degree in Geotechnical Engineering at the University of California at Berkeley. I married Julie in 1991 and continued my studies toward a 1994 Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering, supervised by Professor Richard Goodman. Working with Eric Lindquist, I researched the fundamental geotechnical and geological engineering aspects of melanges and other bimrocks. In 1992 the Association of Engineering Geologists honored me with the Marliave Scholar award for outstanding scholarship.
San Francisco again: Julie and I returned to California in 1995. Between 1995 and 2005 I worked in Menlo Park at Failure Analysis Associates (now Exponent, Inc), a world-famous engineering and science consultancy that specializes in failure investigations. My most memorable failure investigation at Exponent was the 1995 Sea Cliff Incident in San Francisco, in which a mysterious “sinkhole” swallowed one prestigious home, and damaged several others. The story has been televised a number of times, most recently as a half-hour show (paper here). I traveled often: to the Lihir Gold Mine in Papua New Guinea, the Golden Cross Mine landslide in New Zealand and to Ankara, Turkey to teach a Short Course on bimrocks. I recruited about 30 people for Exponent and helped to grow the geotechnical/geology practice. In 2005 I left Exponent as a Principal Engineer.
Between June 2005 and June 2009 I was a Senior Consultant in the Oakland, California office of Geosyntec Consultants, a multi-disciplinary geoengineering firm.
In 2006, I worked on one of the most interesting projects in my career as a Court Appointed Expert for the US District Court in Honolulu. The world-famous Forbes Collection of Hawaiian cultural artifacts, had been borrowed from the Bishop Museum in Honolulu and then buried and sealed in lave tube burial caves. I advised the Court on lava tube cave stability and, with the help of another Geological Engineer, retrieved the Forbes Collection. During my time at Geosyntec, I also performed investigations of rock slope stability in bimrocks.
Currently: I now work as an independent Consulting Geological Engineer. I write the occasional article now and again, and present infrequent lectures, generally on ground failures and my research hobby horse – bimrocks and the characterization of geological chaos. My published research, some presentations, and Short Courses are freely available to interested researchers and practitioners at my bimrocks website. I am proud to be a Geological Engineer – because of my vagabond career, I am licensed as both geologist and engineer in the USA, UK and Canada. Because I have experience in many “geo” fields I am a Geopractitioner. You can read about my work at my professional website of the same name.
Between October 2008 and October 2009 I was the Richard H. Jahns Distinguished Lecturer in Engineering Geology. I presented 85 Lectures at Universities, professional groups and consultancies across North America. The Jahns Jaunts during this rewarding Jahns “Jahr” were sometimes exhausting, but always memorable experiences.
Julie, Maggie (our dog) and I enjoy peace, quiet and walking. I still thrive on adventure and travel. I much enjoy reading. And I love words: I am probably the only person I know who can say, in the same breath: “llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch”, (the second-longest railway station name in the world, in Anglesey, North Wales); and “humuhumunukunukuapua’a,” (the name of the Hawaii state fish). | 2019-04-24T00:28:00 | http://edmedley.com/blog/about-vitae/ |

Working with local families in the Habitat Partnership program, often involves becoming a coach and a cheerleader throughout the process. Homeownership is a life-changing milestone, and for most Habitat families it means learning or being exposed to new things – scary ideas like budgeting, banking, and being open about their family’s financials.
Truth is, the Habitat Partnership towards Homeownership program requires a big commitment from our partner families. It all starts with a personal and emotional commitment. They need a strong desire to own a home, the motivation to access possibilities to have a better future or the dream to provide stability for their children. It is in the roots of these personal yet collective motivations that the Family Services Department thrives in offering a hand up and works closely with the families in building perspectives about their own goals and crafting their own tools to be successful.
In this process, we also become the liaison between the family and a team of supporters all rooting for their success. From their interactions with donors and volunteers at the ReStore, construction sites and different committees, to dealing with the complicated world of mortgage lending and working accountably with their mentor-guided monthly assignments, we are with them. It is in understanding the importance and tremendous value of coaching families, through the short period of time they are with us before they purchase their home, that we find joy in what we do: walking beside them. It also means we get to learn throughout the process as well. Every partner family shares a new perspective which provides us the opportu nity to be more creative and successful in our role as housing counselors and as people walking through seasons of life together.
In addition, as recent as last year, we both attended training based on HUD fair housing guidelines, to be able to provide Homeownership counseling to prepare “would-be borrowers” in all aspects of the home-buying process as well as the responsibilities of owning a home. This approach, in addition to referrals to other community partners, leads to a more informed community and over time, greater success in a tight market such as Bend.
It’s really powerful when the family you have been working with on a specific areaof growth or behavioral change, masters it and achieves success. And to know that what we do every day contributes directly to our community, impacting one family at a time, is a very rewarding feeling. If you have wondered about sharing the love for transforming lives, follow us on Facebook and find out when our next Home Dedication is happening. These events really sum it all! | 2019-04-21T19:08:37 | https://bendhabitat.org/2018/01/why-we-love-working-in-homeowner-services/ |

Today was a tougher one. It took me a long time to set my sights on doing something. I was hedging, and I knew it. I'm in the thick of the waiting game, where you've handed over control to your steering committee and you have to sit back and wait for opportunity. That's a tough place to put yourself, but it's important. I guess it's about what you do with that time. I was slow out of the gate this morning, but when I finally got out of the house I was able to focus on Picasso's Black Canvas. I'm approaching a second edit, and I want to shift it drastically from where it sits right now, which is Verbatim based on research from the 3MV program, to a blended piece flowing between verbatim and spoken word (both found and originally written). I've had ideas for a while as to how it might work, but I hadn't sat down to see what's possible. It felt good to go through the first section and see that the things I've been thinking about might work. I'm so lucky to be in a bubble right now with time to create, time that I've already set aside to focus on craft. I'm in a good frame of mind to tackle this edit, and I'm so lucky to have the space to do it. And it will in turn make the waiting game into something else completely, which has it's own value.
At least I have a job!! Grateful for that. | 2019-04-25T18:20:21 | http://www.antoniocayonne.com/blog/2015/2/24/focus-tues-feb2315 |

Visually detects any loose wheel nuts and detect overheated brakes or bearings.
Indicators can be used on any nut and bolt which requires observation.
Reduce fleet downtime and costs – increase safety – now.
Fit the wheel nut indicator on the nuts in a uniform pattern. Any pattern may be used as long as any movement is clearly visible.
Ensure the wheel nut indicator pointer has room to move and is not aligned against the rim.
Each unit is togh, UV stablized, numbered and Australian Made.
Each unit is also heat sensitive and will turn brown on edges of wheel nut. This allows for easy detection of any brake and bearing problems.
Best to choose your size wheelnut with an exact fitting socket.
If nut is recessed on rim, easiest to place a screwdriver down the side of bolt to get approx mm of recess depth. | 2019-04-22T00:10:41 | https://www.tyrecheckers.com.au/53-wheel-nut-indicators-4wd-38mm-extended-version.html |
Selfie aboard the Kona Honzo. Most days spent building this trail were cold, dark, and wet. Stoked to have a shot that fits that theme.
Selected by Mike Kazimer - Foggy woods, mossy wet rocks, and tall trees - this photo has all the ingredients of a classic Pacific Northwest ride. Bonus points go to Brad Walton for airing into this slippery line aboard a hardtail, and capturing it all in a self portrait.
The Honzo is a sweet ride!
Always amazed and a little jealous of Brad's selfies. So amazed that one guy has such sick skills in building, riding AND shooting it all. Lots of respect for your stuff Brad, keep them coming!
Awesome picture Brad! Are you rolling with plus tires on your Honzo? Can't quite tell, I'm currently building a Honzo and am hoping to roll with Rekon+. Keep up the sick shots man!
the selfie squad strikes again, that is a good one.
"feel the rhythm, feel the ride, get on up, it's freeride time, COOL ROLLINGS!"
@bigburd: Exactly what I was thinking... catch me riding down that slope of death? not likely! "allways remember, your bones wont' break in a bobsled, oh no... they shatter!"
Very cool shot. This is your backyard?
Great shot! Interesting to hear that you're using infrared beam too, I'd imagine that's way more time consuming to setup than a handlebar trigger?
It sure is. However, this isn't the type of feature you can occupy your fingers with other things to do other than hold on.
I'm surprised more people who are looking for an easy/free (if using nikon) setup don't just fire an intervalometer set on the fastest interval possible. Obviously infrared beam is the most accurate but you'd be surprised how accurate the free to use setup can be.
@Matturalistic: wouldn't that result in hundreds of photos? Assuming it has a built in delay as well you could probably knock it down to 20-30 shots. He would have to start the timer, hike back up while keeping time. Drop in and hope you didn't go to early and if you went to late the buffer could be full and you might miss the shot.
@Matturalistic: Intervalometer works for some situations, but not very accurate.
@bradwalton: Hey dude what product are you using to trigger your Nikon? SICK aggro shot, captured it all, even the musty smell of the wet rock I swear.
@guancho-libre: It does, yes. But you only have to use 1! Again not at all ideal, but for people wondering how to do this sort of stuff on a budget, it's a solution. I travel alone a lot for work, and used to use this method to get photos of myself in various places rather than a self timer trail and error!
good job Brad keep up the great work!
1-160! Damn! Fired with a handlebar mount trigger?
I wish the trigger was that simple, but I'm not gifted with multitasking. It's an infrared beam trigger.
@bradwalton: haha that's even better, you used lasers! Really awesome photo.
Never owned a full suspension bicycle, yeah HT!
What a sweet looking line! Nice build, capture and shred Brad!
Great photo, amazing trail. Really well done on both counts.
Hell Yeah Brad!!! Incredible as always!!!
Unbelievable shot! This is your own private home trail?! Can I come visit?
I don't own it and several people have thrown dirt on it. I found the line a few years ago. An hour of steep pedaling to the top from home. | 2019-04-23T00:19:22 | https://www.pinkbike.com/photo/14151684/ |
Bournemouth visit the Reds in the midweek fixture in another key fixture for both the teams on either side of the table. A win for Liverpool would consolidate their position in the top four while a win for Bournemouth would possibly catapult them into the top half of the table if results elswhere go their way.
After dipping badly which had them in a potential relegation fight, Bournemouth have hit form which sees them sit 11th on the table while Liverpool are also on the up having won three games of their last four games after a poor start to 2017.
Both teams are unbeaten in their last four matches with Liverpool winning 3 and drawing one while Bournemouth have won two and drawn two.
Liverpool could be without two of their key men in this fixture; having lost Adam Lallana during the international break and Sadio Mane picked up a knee injury in the game against Everton. Jordan Henderson remains injured.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp raised concerns over Mane’s injury by admitting he “missed his speed” during his January absence and also conceded that he doesn’t have a like for like replacement for the Senegalese speedster.
Daniel Sturridge is doubtful but Klopp remains hopeful that the striker will be available for this game.
No fresh injury concerns for Bournemouth as the usual suspects in Calum Wilson and Andrew Surman remain long term absentees.
He might not be Sadio Mane but Roberto Firmino is equally as important to Liverpool, often coming up with the goods when it matters. His link up play with fellow Brazillian Coutinho has been key for Liverpool and Klopp would be hoping for more of the same in the game against Bournemouth. Firmino has 9 goals and 5 assists this season and he’ll look to add to his tally this Wednesday. With Mane missing, Liverpool will look to Firmino to produce the goods.
King has been crucial to Bournemouth’s recent turn in fortunes, scoring 5 goals in his last 4 games including a hattrick against West Ham. It’s been a productive season for the Norwegian, scoring 11 goals and assiting 2 goals. He will need to play well, looking to get behind the Liverpool defence if Bournemouth have any chance of getting a result in this game.
Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 Premier League matches.
Arthur Boruc has more clean sheets (7) than Liverpool’s Simon Mignolet (4).
Bournemouth have lost 2 of their last 3 fixtures against Liverpool with their only win coming in the reverse fixture, a thrilling 4-3 win.
Going by form, you’d have to back Liverpool especially when they are so irresistible at home but Bournemouth could have surprise in them especially with Liverpool missing two of their key men. I think the Cherries could steal a result in this game and I’m going for a 1-1 draw.
Manchester United fan, Happy-go-lucky guy!

The BBC predicts that drones will play an important role in the cities of the future.
In response to Mark Bowden’s cover story in The Atlantic, Michael Lewis, also writing for The Atlantic, argues that drones “have the potential to dramatically reduce civilian casualties in armed conflicts,” making them the “most humane form of warfare ever.” Meanwhile, Hassan Abbas (also at The Atlantic) argues that while drone operations create more terrorists than they kill, they do so for a different set of reasons than “boots on the ground” operations.
The Verge profiles Northrop Grumman’s Global Hawk, the drone that once tracked Osama bin Laden and is now hunting hurricanes for NASA. Since the Air Force used the Global Hawk to track wildfires in 2007, Northrop Grumman has been eager to highlight the non-military applications of the machine. “If we publicize a bit more the nontraditional uses it might change some perceptions,” said Jessica Burtness, a communications representative for the company.
The U.S. Air Force is working on a technology to tag people or vehicles with a nanochrystal spray that permits the targets to be tracked by an infrared camera from a distance of 2km. According to the New Scientist, the technology joins a host of other non-lethal options currently being considered by the Department of Homeland Security.

Clay has had great professional success at every step in his journey, most recently as a classroom teacher he was recognized by his peers and North Carolina Department of Instruction as a finalist in the search for the North Carolina’s Teacher of the Year. He had the opportunity to build his own curriculum for the 8th grade team in Durham he was a part of. Using a Project Based Learning model, Clay was tasked with bringing the content of all classes and create semester long application projects that focused on real local issues and brought the problems facing the community into the classroom. Clay is very excited to bring this approach to the lives of Academy students.
Clay can often be found with a our students playing any number of stringed instruments, digging in the dirt or riding his bike. Clay’s favorite thing, however, is spending time with his wife and little girl Annie. Whether it is in the wilds of downtown Asheville or on an adventure in the wilderness of Western North Carolina Clay loves seeing our beautiful area reflected in the joy of seeing his daughter experience our world for the first time. | 2019-04-20T22:18:24 | https://www.trailsacademy.com/team/clay/ |

“In the current climate of big cat reports, where it seems that every little town beginning with B has its “Beast of B…” and every town starting with C has “The C…. Cat,” Durham was in the action early with reports of the so-called Durham Puma. However even back in the 1980s, when it first came to prominence, it was soon clear that at least three types of big cats were being reported and in addition to pumas there were reports of lynx and of large, black cats, which were presumed to be melanistic leopards, or to give them their popular name, panthers. Not only that, but sightings also came in from the neighbouring counties of Northumberland and Cleveland.
I read the reports in the local papers with fascination but without much analysis and got the impression that there were a great many such reports. It wasn’t until recently when Bob Wilkin and Chris Hall (BCIB) loaned me their extensive collections of local news cuttings on big cats that it occurred to me that many of these were the same few reports being recycled. In a sense thought that doesn’t matter; that was then, and this is now, and cats, no matter how large, or how many lives, only live 10-15 years. A friend of mine, who knows some of the gamekeepers in Teesdale, asked them if they thought there were big cats roaming around their patches. They replied to the effect that it might have been the case in the eighties but certainly not recently. This book is about the picture over the past ten years, i.e. roughly from the year 2000.
The miscellany of reports of big cats that made up the Durham Puma story was actively researched and spell-bindingly told by Eddie Bell. However while I was enthralled listening to his talk some years back we have never actually met to compare notes. It is likely that he will receive a number of reports that I don’t get and vice versa. No doubt there will also be a good number of people who see what they are sure is a big cat but don’t report it to anybody. This book is not the whole story then, rather it’s just the parts that I am aware of.
This book is in two parts. The bulk of it is taken up with the ‘Northumbria Big Cat Diaries.’ The Diaries feature in the quarterly newsletter of Northumbria Mammal Group and I have left them more or less as originally written. For a variety of reasons there are no entries for some quarters and in one case for an entire year but there were few quarters where I didn’t receive even one report. I also write a sister column, ‘Droppings’, for the newsletter, which is a collection of small bits of information about mammals. There is often a bit of cross-referencing between the two and occasionally a creature mentioned in the Diaries may be made even more cryptic in this collection by the lack of ‘Droppings’ (a problem both literary and literally in the physical hunt for big cats in Britain).
The Northumbria Big Cat Diaries came about as a result of a typically facetious comment of mine about wanting to collate reports of big cat sightings. A well-respected North East naturalist took me seriously and told me of his compelling report. At his request I have never published his report though it remains one of the best both in terms of the sighting and the resulting story but it unquestionably set the ball off and rolling. The ‘Diaries’ kicked off in the Winter 2000 edition of the newsletter but I have also included an earlier big cat report from the newsletter, which seems to indicate that I was initially a little sceptical.

The book is now out of print but Ian has kindly provided an electronic version of the book which is free to view/download. | 2019-04-18T12:30:49 | http://www.nhsn.ncl.ac.uk/interests/mammals/northumbrian-big-cat-diaries/ |
The process of writing software is often misunderstood. When you write business software you are not doing science, but rather art. Your job is not to build, but rather to design. Designing good software is about more than writing code. Knowing what code to write requires empathy and good communication skills. But actually writing code in an academic sense requires more than technical skills as well. When you sit down to actually write code, you engage in a fundamentally creative process. In this session, you will learn about the parallels between making art and writing code. You will learn how creating software is like creating art, in terms of the processes and mindset required. You will learn about art techniques and their similarities to programming techniques. You will leave this session a better programmer, having gained a better understanding of the deep, creative work that you do.

Volunteers need to be interested in meeting new people and should enjoy spending some of their free time to hang out at the YOUZ bar with young people from Nagold.Intermediate knowledge of German language is required to be able to communicate with the younger children Volunteers need to be motivated to work with children and young people. Some experience in that field will be useful, but is not mandatory.If you think that you fit perfectly to our project, please apply with CV, picture, motivation letter (in German or English) and a Certificate of good conduct. If you are selected, there will be the possibility to come and visit us in Nagold to get to know us and to see how we work, before you decide if you want to join our team (travel costs will be covered).

HOF dan - Go-Bengals.com - The Best Bengals Fan Community in the World!
HOF dan had the most liked content!
well done! I sure didn't think this was any way going to happen either. It's been said a lot already but in this division, you better have a good secondary. Dennard is a big piece of that. Add Webb and we could be pretty good on the back end.
Iffffff.......he stays healthy - might be the best FA signing this off season. Good move!
This is the same argument for me that it was for Marvin. If you have a better option - great. If not - why?
I like that idea. If (and we all know it's a rather big if at this point) he stays healthy - he's as good as any in the league. Plus he's a great security blanket for Andy. | 2019-04-19T11:07:44 | https://forum.go-bengals.com/index.php?/profile/8506-hof-dan/ |
Just wanted to touch bases with any Fat Chance owners in Australia.
I may have one of your frames. I bought a small black Buckshaver from Sean which had apparently belonged to the importers girlfriend. Anyway I'm selling it as I just purchased a medium. I also have my original Buckshaver and Slimchance.
It is a small 1994 Buckshaver. The wife of your business partner sounds familiar. Memory is certainly not improving with age.
It's black and came with mainly LX and a basic RockShox.
It was definitely a lucky pick up but I am selling it as I have another one I will be picking up when I get to the States later this year. If you know anyone interested in a 1994 Buckshaver (small) Black (repainted by Paconi), no decals, with a silver Chris King threadless headset, Controltec stem (120mm), 2003 Marzocchi fork and a Ringle Moby post. $450.
Hey Rohloffdude, Steve, are you mates with Danny Hale?
was talking to him about Fats a few weeks ago.
Yeah Dan and I go way back.
Must be time for a Melbourne Fat ride. Or even a meet up for coffee. | 2019-04-26T00:55:21 | http://www.fatcogs.com/forum/showthread.php?s=85947e90dd110aa6b4a44321585427cb&t=3983 |
Why does my AC keep running?
Home / Blog / Why does my AC keep running?
During the hot Phoenix Arizona summers, most people are use to their AC running quite a bit, just to keep up with the 110+ temperatures that we experience here. While it is normal for your AC to be on more than usual when the temperature goes up outside, it shouldn’t be constantly running. Here are a few troubleshooting tips to try before giving Sharp Air Conditioning & Heating a call that can save you some time and money.
Check your thermostat – One of the most avoidable issues is to check your thermostat settings. With the more basic thermostats, it can be as simple as forgetting to switch your system from “ON” to “AUTOMATIC”. Having it in the “ON” position will tell your AC system to continue running, even when it satisfies the temperature you have set on your thermostat. With the more complex thermostat options that are on the market now, yours may need a little bit more programming to be set correctly. Check with your owners’ manual, or give us a call and we can try to walk you through some troubleshooting on your thermostat.
Change your filters! – Air flow restrictions caused by dirty filters can greatly affect your AC systems performance. If you AC system does not get enough air flow, it can not blow out cold air and will continue to run since it is not able to satisfy the thermostat setting. Change those filters!
Dirty coils – Check to make sure there is no debris built up on your condenser outside. This is the same as a restriction for your indoor components. Restrictions can cause the system to not cooling correctly, therefore not being able to satisfy the thermostat settings leading to a constantly running AC system.
If you go through the above steps and nothing seems to work, give Sharp Air Conditioning & Heating a call and we can send a certified technician out to assess what may be wrong. Another cause of a constantly running system can be age. Your AC system may just be worn out from years of use. If this is the case, we can work with you to best determine the next steps to take in replacement. | 2019-04-25T10:08:42 | https://www.myazac.com/why-does-my-ac-keep-running/ |

Adaptemy launches its new Curriculum Mapping Tool on 12th October at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Transforming the traditionally slow, frustrating and error-prone process of planning a course, it stands to dramatically alter the content design process for authors, editors and publishers alike.
You may know it as a scheme, scope or sequence of work, curriculum map or graph, but the function of the course planning document remains the same: to chart the educational content needed to deliver an effective learning experience and how that content connects.
Considering it is the foundation of every learning tool, it has remained notoriously complicated to create and manage for far too long.
The truth is, its traditional domain (the spreadsheet) does not have the sophistication needed to complete this essential task with ease.
Adaptemy’s new tool transitions the process from the outdated world of cells, rows and columns to the fast, effective and accurate realm of an intuitive web-based application.
It comes with everything an educational publisher needs to create, validate, collaborate and integrate. Let’s get to know the product.
Adaptemy’s curriculum mapping tool takes the time, frustration and uncertainty out of building curriculum maps.
It replaces complicated, messy and confusing spreadsheets with a visual tool that’s intuitive and interactive.
You get a clear overview of how all of your content elements fit into the learning experience and save valuable product development time.
You can get started quickly too. Set up takes minutes. It comes with a free 30-day trial, webinar, documentation and helpdesk.
And of course individual and company pricing is available.
The product launches on 12th October 2018 at the Frankfurt Book Fair but you can sign up now to be among the first to try it out. | 2019-04-22T14:00:27 | https://www.adaptemy.com/get-to-know-adaptemys-curriculum-mapping-tool/ |
So far Santiago has been one of our favorite destinations from all the South American metropoles we have visited. With almost 6.5 million inhabitants the primate city is home of almost 40% of all chilenos and with that the 5th. largest city on the whole continent. If you have now a run down, dirty and criminal concrete jungle in your mind, you have never been so wrong. It is actually compared to its population quiet small. In the center for instance you can reach all important places more or less by foot. It has a great and really easy going metro system (a single ticket is a little less than a euro) as well as a good infrastructure of busses. Santiago is on around 500m over the sea level and surrounded by the Andes Mountains, which already gives it its own charm. It doesn't matter where you are, but you have a great view on the mountains in almost all directions.
During the summer you have an amazing climate with an average of around 25°C, the winters are quiet mild as well, it’s really rare to have temperatures below 0 °C. It is a very international place with plenty of hostels and activities like free walking tours, bike rental services and interesting sights which are attracting backpackers from all over the world. Besides that the city is very safe, clean and offers several parks to relax. The mayor problem which Santiago is suffering from is the pollution. The high density of inhabitants brings a huge amount of smog each day which can´t escape because of the surrounding mountains. On some days it’s so extreme that you can’t see across the street, which can happen at around 6-7 am in the morning.
But don't let that scare you off, Santiago is a great place and has lots of things to offer, for example a really cool food culture, with a huge variety of international cuisines and some awesome traditional Chilean dishes. Besides the usual North American and Italian restaurants you can find several Arabic or Asian restaurants or takeaways. Very typical dishes are fish and seafood, empanadas, asado (BBQ) and the italiano, a hotdog with onions, tomatoes, avocado cream and a thick layer of mayonnaise. This combination of mayo and avocado is a big thing in Santiago, the people there go really crazy for it, you will get it on several dishes, like hot dogs, hamburgers and other fast foods. Hotdogs in general are kind of popular, you will find them on the streets in all variation and sizes. Another really typical snack / drink is mote con huesillos, you can get it everywhere all over Santiago. It consists of peach juice with grain and a dried peach inside. It’s very tasty and gives you good energy for some hours.
The food at all is quiet cheap, in the center you will find quiet a lot of takeaways or people who are just cooking on the streets. A full meal including a drink is available from 3-4 euros while the prices in the supermarkets are quiet high, 2-3 days of groceries for 2 persons with wine or beer can be easily up to 30€. The best and cheapest places for your weekly shopping are the mercado central, which is specialized on seafood, fish, meat and la veca, 2 huge markets with all kinds of agricultural products and especially fruits and vegetables.
Santiago in general is great for shopping, you can find there some amazing offers and interesting things. One of the first things which comes to my mind when I think of Santiago are the plenty street venders for clothing. Especially the Barrio Patronage is outstanding for that. It’s quiet a huge district which is dominated by clothes stores, boutiques and people who are selling clothes on the street. You will find there everything from casual clothing to trekking gear and sportswear for really really good prices. Other nice places are the artesenal (handmade) street fairs in the barrio lasteria, where you can find besides countless tourist souvenirs some really nice, traditional and handmade accessories as well as clothes.
The people of Santiago love to go out at night to party and for that they prefer some certain drinks, which you definitely should try. Really common is the pisco, a Peruvian spirit which gets consumed with sugar, lime and ice as pisco sour or mixed with cola as piscola. Another interesting cocktail is the terremoto (earthquake) which consists of young white wine, fernet and pineapple ice-cream. The city is also surrounded by several bodegas and has a great culture of good and affordable vines. One really expensive thing by the way are cigarettes, if you have the chance, bring your smoking ware from Argentina or Bolivia, where the prices can be up to the half and even less.
If you are on the search for a good and affordable place to stay we can really recommend you La Casa Roja, where we stayed and volunteered for almost 3 weeks. It’s a nice and huge hostel, in an old colonial building with lots of places to chill, a pool and two bars.
- Take a free walking tour - this is a great way to get to know more about culture, architecture and history of the city for as much money as it’s worth it for you.
- Go snowboarding - Santiago is so close to the Andes, during the wintertime it takes you less than an hour into the winter wonderlands of the Andes. With a lot of snow comes lots of skiing and snowboarding. For less than 70 euros you can already book a day trip to ski resorts like Valle Nevado, El Colorado or La Parva including transport, gear, food and a ski pass.
- Spend a night out in Bellavista - The barrio is located on the other side of the river Mapocho from the center and is famous for its nightlife. The entrance for a club will be between 5 and 10 euros and besides very common Chilean music - raggaeton you can find some nice gigs. From live music over techno to rock and reggae there are places for every taste. Besides that there is a great variety of bars, restaurants and parks so it definitely won’t become boring.
- Enjoy the view from Cerro San Cristobal - The hill with a height of 300m offers a 360° panorama all over the city. For 4 euros you can use the historic funicular to bring you there and back. I would actually recommend you to take the ride up for half the price and walk back down, cause of the several stages with their own great view. The best time to go is in the late afternoon during the week. At first it’s cheaper than on the weekends and you have the chance to enjoy the city from above at day and night. Make sure you choose a sunny and clear day for your visit otherwise you won’t be able to see the Andes behind the city. On half the way up to the cerro there is the national zoo of Chile, it’s also possible to pay less and only use the funicular to the stage of the zoo.
- Learn about the military dictatorship of Pinochet - Visit the Museo de la Memoria and find out more about Chiles brutal history, the government takeover of Augustino Pinochet and his fascist regime between 1973 and 1990. It’s pretty depressive but at the same time very informative, the museum shows several interviews of survivors, presents handcrafted products made by prisoners and gives lots of information from the takeover till the fall of the dictatorship. If history is not your thing, you can find plenty other museums around the Museo de la Memoria and the city center about art, design and way more. All the public museums in Chile are free to visit.
- Visit the Gran Torre of Santiago - With 300m of height the Tower is the highest building of whole South America. Inside there is not much to explore, except of shopping mall after shopping mall and some offices. Anyway it’s a nice piece of architecture and you can take a lift up to the top and enjoy a view over the whole city including the Andes.
- Have a walk through the Cemetery - yes you heard right, the Cementerio General de Chile was founded in 1821, and has more than 2 million graves on an area of 86 hectares. You will see different statues, parks, beautiful tombs as well as a memorial for the desaparecidos (the lost ones) of the military dictatorship.
- Get lost in the several streets of Santiago’s center - Walk along the river, see the center and the barrios of Bellavista and Listeria. Enjoy the bohemian atmosphere, nice architecture and have a tasty ice-cream at Plaza de Armas (the central park). Once there, take a small detour and have a look at the Palacio de La Moneda (the governments’ palace).
- Visit Valparaiso and Viña del Mar - Take one or two days off from the big city and enjoy a little trip to the pacific coast. Busses to Valparaiso are leaving every half an hour, each day and are taking less than two hours. The city of almost 300.000 inhabitants is a UNESCO world cultural heritage and has a lot of culture and architecture to offer, it’s also very famous for its street art. Once in Valparaiso you can basically walk to Viña del Mar because there is no border between the two cities. There you will find endless beaches, sun and palm trees so just grab a cool cocktail and enjoy your time! | 2019-04-21T16:45:43 | http://nowhere-in-particular.org/index.php/people-places/chile-country/santiago |
Want to learn how to start a fashion blog? If you love all things fashion, it only makes sense to share your passion with the world. Plus, the fact that fashion blogs are wildly popular right now doesn’t hurt, right?
Plus, it’s more attainable than you might think. While I’m not trying to say you’ll be an overnight success, the actual fixed costs for a fashion blog are pretty low. Depending on how much you want to invest, you can get started for as little as $50-60 for your entire first year.
By that, I mean that while you will certainly have to pour in sweat equity if you want to become popular, you don’t actually need to spend that much money outside the sweat equity.
Web hosting – this is the engine that actually powers your website. It costs money, but is an absolute necessity if you want to have full control over your fashion blog.
A domain name – this is how people will find your fashion blog. And it also gives you a chance to brand your blog. To help you pick, you can use one of the many blog name generators.
WordPress.org software – the world’s most popular tool for creating a website. Best of all, it’s 100% free! Note – this is different than WordPress.com. They are NOT the same.
A WordPress theme – this dictates how your fashion blog looks. You’ll want to pick one that matches your style.
Some helpful WordPress plugins – these help add cool functionality to your fashion blog.
Of course, you’ll also need the drive and passion to post consistently even when the traffic numbers don’t look great. It will take you time to build a following, so if you can’t deal with some dry times at the beginning, blogging might not be for you.
If you think you’ve got what it takes to be a fashion blogger, keep reading and I’ll show you how to get set up!
As I mentioned, to get your fashion blog up and running, you’ll need a domain name and something called web hosting.
For hosting, we recommend a company called SiteGround. SiteGround is where we host this site, so you can trust that we truly believe it’s the best host for most WordPress users.
Once you’ve done that, finish out the payment process and you’re almost finished!
The first time you log in to your SiteGround dashboard after paying for your hosting, you’ll see the handy Website Setup Wizard.
The wizard is simple to use – just follow along with the steps.
Once you finish the wizard, you should have a working WordPress website, as well as details to log in to your brand new WordPress site.
Next up – you need to choose a WordPress fashion theme to give your site a unique look.
A WordPress theme is basically your site’s “clothes”. That is, it doesn’t affect how your site functions – it just changes how it looks.
There are tens of thousands of both free and premium WordPress themes, so it can be hard to wade through all of your options to find the perfect fashion theme.
Applique is a flexible fashion blog theme that can work for a variety of aesthetics. While I chose my favorite style above, you can choose from a number of different looks for your fashion blog.
Olivie is a nice minimalist theme from Bluchic, the creators of a number of different themes that can work well for fashion blogs.
Isabelle is another theme from Bluchic with a slightly different design aesthetic. Really, if you’re interested in quality fashion themes, I just recommend you check out the whole Bluchic collection.
Once you find a WordPress theme that you absolutely love, you’ll need to install it on your WordPress site.
While WordPress themes mainly deal with how your site looks, WordPress plugins add functionality to your site. Sometimes this functionality is just a tiny thing, and sometimes it can be something huge like adding an entire web store.
There are thousands of plugins out there, so it’s hard to narrow things down to just plugins for fashion bloggers.
Again, the sky’s the limit here! You can also search on WordPress.org or Google to find other cool plugins for your site. While there’s not technically a limit on how many plugins you can use, a good rule of thumb is to try to keep the number as small as possible.
Of course, you’ll still need to post amazing content and grow your audience. But the technical work is over – now you get to focus on fashion! | 2019-04-22T04:03:49 | http://step4all.com/ |
At Mirage Screen Systems, we often get asked what is required for the care and maintenance of a Mirage retractable screen door or retractable window screen.
Screen care and maintenance is a question that’s especially pertinent when the season changes to cooler months and homeowners are beginning to pack up and store away their patio and outdoor furnishings.
Fortunately, your Mirage retractable screen door or window screen does not need to be removed for winter storage. The screen simply retracts into its housing when it is not in use.
This unique feature will not only keep the retractable screen from being damaged from the elements but it will also keep it clean.
1. Keep the bottom track of your retractable screen door free of debris, rocks and pet hair.
A clean track allows the retractable screen to glide smoothly back into its housing.
2. Place a visibility decal on the screen at eye height.
Mirage retractable screens are designed to allow maximum view while allowing maximum airflow into your living space. You can reduce the chances of accidentally walking into your screen by using visibility decals. The decals can then be removed once your family is used to having and using the retractable screens.
3. Train your pets to respect the screen as with any other household fixture.
A second visibility decal can be placed at the eye level of your pet until your pet becomes used to the screen, then the decal can be removed.
4. Keep your screen retracted into the housing when it is not being used.
This is one of the key benefits of a retractable window screen or screen door! With the screen out of the way when not in use it will be protected from the elements and will remain clean.
5. Clean the screen’s housing, mesh, and tracks with warm soapy water, once a year.
Once cleaned, dry with a soft clean cloth. This simple screen maintenance will keep your retractable screen looking and performing its best.
6. Annually lubricate the screen tracks with a quality silicone spray lubricant.
It’s a good idea to do this right after the annual cleaning. If your Mirage retractable screen is installed in a high traffic area or a very dusty area, you may wish to clean and lubricate your screen tracks more often.
7. In windy conditions, keep your screen retracted into its housing to avoid possible damage.
Mirage retractable screens work well in a moderate breeze but heavy gusts of wind could potentially blow the mesh out of the tracks causing undue wear and tear on the mesh fabric. Keeping your screen retracted in such conditions is highly recommended.
Mirage retractable screens are high-quality window and door screen systems designed and tested for many years of use.
Following these simple screen care and maintenance tips will help to ensure that your retractable screens operate optimally so that you can enjoy the benefits of increased fresh air in your home without troublesome flying insects.
Contact your local Mirage retractable screens dealer for more information on retractable window and door screen care and maintenance! | 2019-04-25T13:43:02 | https://miragescreensystems.com/blog/7-rules-retractable-screen-maintenance/ |
