Marks & Spencer Belgian White Chocolate Coated Blueberries
A new find!
Bought a packet when I was at Marks & Spencers over the weekend. Was looking for my favourite potato rings (which, by the way, has been out of stock for the past few weeks - argh!) when I saw this... White chocolate and blueberries sounded like an interesting combination so I thought I'll give this a try.
Here's what it really is - freeze-dried blueberries coated with white Belgian chocolate, dusted with blueberry powder. Ok, so freeze-dried blueberries doesn't sound very appetizing, but really it tastes very much like raisins. It's an interesting twist on your usual chocolate coated raisins.
It's a bit of a weird fake-looking purple colour (because of the blueberry powder dusting). But pop one tiny little piece in your mouth and I guarantee you will not be able to stop at just one :)
It costs $3.90 - not that cheap for such a small packet... but that just forces me to ration. So it works out perfectly for me - I don't eat too much so I don't put on too much weight, and I don't eat it up too fast so I don't spend ridiculous amounts of money buying more of it! | <urn:uuid:01e6c21c-5b89-4f45-a115-f3c228d479fb> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://charheimee.blogspot.com/2006/07/marks-spencer-belgian-white-chocolate.html | 2018-05-27T23:02:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.968217 | 279 | [

Tested|Atlas Brace – Air Neck Brace and Defender Chest Protector
By Jeff McConkey
Every year it seems the bikes get faster and faster, and the average rider just goes about their business like always. Quite a few years back, motocross legend, David Bailey, set the MX world on fire when he gave a speech from his bed about safety and neck braces. It sparked a huge debate between wearing and not wearing neck braces. That was it, almost everyone jumped in with both feet and started wearing one, from the top Pro’s right down to the youngest beginners. The problem was, 90% of the time, the braces weren’t sized properly, and that’s not a good thing. In 2009, in stepped the people at Atlas Brace.
The Atlas Brace is racer designed, racer tested, and has been developed around the necks of championship-winning professionals. With the development team lead by former Supercross and Motocross racer, Brady Sheren, Team Atlas was able to create a revolutionary new device that aims to solve many of the problematic criteria that exist with neck protection today.
Using advanced materials and breakthroughs in safety, the Atlas Brace challenges the traditional methods of neck protection. By creating an innovative design that is stronger, safer, flexible, more adjustable, more comfortable, and extremely simplistic, the Atlas Brace provides advanced protection with none of the bulky, trapped feeling, all at a great price.
I, myself, was a bandwagon jumper back in the day and wore one of the other braces on the market. I never really enjoyed the feel of it, but I didn’t know any better. Fast forward a few years, and I was able to make my own decisions and went out and purchased an Atlas Brace. I instantly enjoyed the comfort and rested easy knowing I was as protected as I could be wearing the best brace on the market.
Here we are, present day, and the great people at Atlas, Ryan Lockhart and Brad McLean sent me the new Atlas Air neck brace and the Defender chest protector to test out. I instantly fell in love with the weight and fit. This is a product where you can tell instantly that someone with vast knowledge of motocross designed it. It’s the best protection out there, but it also allows you unrestricted movement. This is the only brace that moves and flows with your body instead of restricting your natural movements. The fit and finish are second to none.
Lets face it, racers are very particular and fussy when it comes to gear, and I am one of them, but I had zero issues with the brace and chest protector working together. I don’t want to be cheesy, but it’s just like peanut butter and jam – they were designed to achieved the best results together. In my opinion, if you aren’t wearing an Atlas Brace, you should give one a try and feel the difference. | <urn:uuid:38e796ad-ecc7-47e6-ac83-7b450c358eb7> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.directmotocross.com/testedatlas-brace-air-neck-brace-and-defender-chest-protector/ | 2018-05-27T23:19:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870497.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527225404-20180528005404-00591.warc.gz | en | 0.968882 | 611 | [

I've noticed my Pre-Algebra class really has trouble dividing because about half of them do not have their multiplication facts down solid while the other half have the facts down, they just can't go in reverse. So as a way to help them, I put the students on Prime Smash, a wonderful free game by Panasonic.
Prime Smash is great for having students identify prime and composite numbers. With three levels, I am able to differentiate instruction so that I am meeting all of student needs. Those who struggle a bit more, did the easiest level while my more advanced students chose the hard level.
It was awesome. The students were totally involved and did not want to put the iPads away to go to lunch. They had such a blast. There were so involved with the game, no one misbehaved, no one was off task. I plan to run this again to help them with factoring.
On another front, my geometry class was on top of everything. Today we started learning AAS and ASA. Due to my having taken time to make them color triangle before writing proofs for SSS and SAS, my students immediately were able to spot which triangles were AAS and ASA after my short talk. Yeah!!!!!!!
They immediately grabbed the colored pencils and started coloring the same angles and sides so when we write simple proofs tomorrow, they are ready and should be able to do it with very little trouble. They transferred knowledge. I am so proud of them. Yeah. It was a good day. | <urn:uuid:5a18ff1b-a596-46a8-9e91-c5b547418530> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://thoughtsonteachingmath.blogspot.com/2015/09/factors.html | 2018-05-21T01:30:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863901.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521004325-20180521024325-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.984549 | 307 | [

The Christmas ballet, 'The Nutcracker," was recently performed by students of Tennessee Youth Ballet under the direction of Artistic Director, Heidi Longwith.
Capacity crowds filled Lee University's Dixon Center for three performances as flurries of snowflakes and visions of sugarplums graced the stage. The musical tells the story of Clara who is given a magical nutcracker doll on Christmas Eve. She encounters mischievous mice before embarking on a journey through the Land of Snow and Kingdom of Sweets.
Young and old alike experienced the production's many special effects and dazzling costumes as they were transported to the captivating world of the "Nutcracker." During one performance, the gasps of over 500 wide-eyed elementary students from Cleveland City Schools and Tennessee Preparatory School could be heard as they were transported to a captivating world of adventure. | <urn:uuid:15e2e95a-5c18-4f60-90f8-c2f61f17735d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.wsmv.com/story/24244359/photos-tenn-youth-ballet-performs-the-nutcracker-at-lee-university | 2018-05-21T01:26:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863901.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521004325-20180521024325-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.957679 | 177 | [

We all know the classic yoga aesthetic on Instagram: Perfect lighting, a delicate yoga pose, probably a tree or two, and a “thoughtful” caption that consists of an inspirational quote and a couple hashtags for good measure.
But now, there’s a new yoga trend on the ‘gram – Nude yoga. And yes, it’s exactly what you think it is.
The anonymous nude yogi behind the Instagram account @Nude_yogagirl recently invited her fans to share their naked yoga photos with the world using the hashtag #NYGyoga which is all about encouraging body positivity.
The movement’s founder is a 27-year-old model, photographer, and yogi who began documenting her nude yoga practice on Instagram back in 2015. “The message of my account is, ‘You are beautiful exactly the way you are,'” Nude Yoga Girl says. “Showing nudity in a non-sexual way felt like a new way to support the message.”
The very ~bendy~ woman has more than 695,000 followers, so it’s clear people are into her photos. But Nude Yoga Girl was still surprised to find fans willing to share their own nude photos after she posted the prompt.
Here are some of the pictures from Instagram:
🍃 My #NYGyoga challenge 🌿 Trust my first ever yoga challenege to involve nudity and nature 🙈😂 Yoga teaches that our bodies are sacred. Gifts from nature given to carry us through this life 🍃 .We are not our body we are our soul. Yoga means union, when we strive to live in union with our mind and our body we learn to accept ourselves and love the skin we are in 🙏 a never ending journey. Thank you @nude_yogagirl for inspiring people to see the body as art – I have never practiced nude in this spot and it was one of the most incredibly freeing experiences ☄ #yoga #nudeyoga #yogachallenege #bluemountains #nature #yogi #yogaeveryday #australia #sunset #beautiful #landscape #flexible #strong #art #body #skinlove #NYG #inspire #wildwoman #freedom | <urn:uuid:21fd0cf4-2fd6-4f41-b4b1-93ee079aba98> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://contentodays.com/women-are-posting-naked-yoga-photos-on-instagram-for-an-important-reason/ | 2018-05-23T01:12:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865023.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523004548-20180523024548-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.916833 | 489 | [

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) ruffled some health practitioner feathers and likely caused consumer confusion with the new vitamin D and calcium recommendations its Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) released to the American public on Nov. 29. The new guidelines triggered a landslide of mainstream press coverage, some of it questioning the need for and even safety of vitamin D supplementation.
In its recommendations, the IOM’s FNB advocated a doubling of vitamin D intake for infants (to 400 IU), a tripling of vitamin D intake for those between ages 1 and 50 (to 600 IU), a 50 percent hike in those ages 51 to 70 (to 600 IU), and a 33 percent increase for those older than 71 years old (to 800 IU). On calcium, the report said post-menopausal women should be cautious about calcium intake over concerns about kidney stones, though they advocated adolescent girls are most in need and should increase their calcium intake to 1,300 mg/day.
The IOM also said that most people receive the recommended total intake of vitamin D from food and that the number of people in the United States and Canada who are vitamin D deficient may have been overestimated because of inconsistent testing methods.
These points were reiterated during a Nov. 30 IOM briefing about the recommendations. When asked whether The New York Times’ headline, “Extra Vitamin D and Calcium Are Not Needed, Report Says,” accurately conveyed the message from the IOM report, FNB Committee Chair Catharine A. Ross said: “That’s not quite the message that we would hope for in the headline. … These are recommendations for intake from all sources of diet and supplement. We are saying that for a goodly portion of the population, it is possible to obtain the calcium and vitamin D at these recommended levels from diet.”
Added FNB Committee Member Steven Clinton: “The New York Timesarticle as a whole is very well written and is a reasonable message for the readers. The headline is just a little bit too strong for what the report really is saying. But I think it will hopefully stimulate some folks to read the article, where the information, I think, is a little more balanced.”
IOM report does not reflect views of some practitioners
Numerous doctors and other healthcare practitioners disagree with the IOM’s recommendations, including Robert Rountree, MD, a medical author and practicing physician in Boulder, Colorado.
“This report does not represent the views of researchers who are true experts in the field,” Rountree told NewHope360.com. “For reasons that I don't understand, the panel members deliberately chose to ignore a large body of published information regarding the effects of vitamin D in cancer, cardiometabolic disease, obesity, autoimmune disease and mood regulation and instead focused almost exclusively on studies related to bone health. They also failed to make the case that vitamin D supplements are toxic in the dose ranges currently being recommended (2000 IU to 10,000 IU daily).”
As a practicing clinician, Rountree said he is “much more interested” in of vitamin D status on the overall health of my patients than I am in its singular effects on bone density and fracture risk. “There is nothing in the IOM report,” Rountree added, “that makes me want to change my current recommendation to aggressively monitor vitamin D levels with frequent blood testing in my patients and to supplement as necessary to maintain adequate levels.”
A failure for pregnant women and their unborn babies
John Jacob Cannell, MD, executive director of the Vitamin D Council, is another medical professional who takes issue with the new vitamin D guidelines. The Vitamin D Council’s stated mission is to educate the public and healthcare professionals about vitamin D deficiency and its associated diseases.
“After 13 years of silence, the quasi governmental agency, [the IOM’s FNB] recommended that a three-pound premature infant take virtually the same amount of vitamin D as a 300 pound pregnant woman,” Cannell writes in a statement on the Vitamin D Council website. “While that 400 IU/day dose is close to adequate for infants, 600 IU/day in pregnant women will do nothing to help the three childhood epidemics most closely associated with gestational and early childhood vitamin D deficiencies: asthma, auto-immune disorders, and, as recently reported in the largest pediatric journal in the world, autism.”
Gregory Plotnikoff, MD, of Allina's Penny George Institute for Health and Healing in Minneapolis, accused the IOM’s report of being “too easily misinterpreted” in an interview with the Minnesota NBC affiliate Kare 11 news. He said that offering the same vitamin D recommendations for all of the U.S. population—regardless of where people live or their skin tone or body size—is nonsensical from a scientific standpoint. As a result, Plotnikoff said he will continue to recommend that his patients have their vitamin D levels checked. | <urn:uuid:15bbdd65-2f7a-44d0-96ce-7f4ad925696d> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.newhope.com/research-and-insights/iom-vitamin-d-guidelines-deemed-failure-some-doctors | 2018-05-23T01:45:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865023.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523004548-20180523024548-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.942352 | 1,038 | [

Life has been changing for me lately. I have moved in with my friend Cristina, and it's going great. I love my new apartment, I have cable, my room is really big….like big! It feels right, I know this is where I belong right now in my life.
I’ve lost 25 lbs. I still have a long way to go to get where I want to be. But I am working hard and counting calories so it seems to be paying off.
I have other good things going on in my life …..but I am not going to talk about them right now. We are going to see how they play out. :)
I feel like it’s been a hard long year for me…and its finally taking a turn for the good. I know that anything good in life comes for God. So, I guess what I am trying to say is that feel like ….God is giving me a second to breathe here. | <urn:uuid:77790e96-61b6-4fe1-82b9-aba9b9e71c8c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://houseoflis-eruch.blogspot.com/2011/ | 2018-05-24T01:46:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865884.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524014502-20180524034502-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.985394 | 200 | [

My ramblings on the stuff that holds it all together
vinf.net On-Tour 2010, Planes, Trains and Bicycles
It’s going to be a busy couple of weeks, I am visiting what has been termed as mini-VMworld in Charlotte, NC later on this week, it looks to be much bigger than anything we have seen in the UK and has an “all-star” line-up so I look forward to that and jet-lag permitting I will be writing up some blog posts.
Then to add to the complexity I fly back to the UK on Friday, and then have Saturday to recover before doing the London to Brighton bike ride on Sunday, still open to sponsorship via my justgiving page here – donate to encourage the fat, jet-lagged man to cross the finish line (with or without pulse! :)).
And the following week I will be presenting at The Fantastic Tavern London “Blue Sky Thinking for the Cloud”, if you’re not familiar with the TFT format – see my previous reviews here and here
And in between all of that I need to keep up with work, holiday and family commitments… it’s going to be busy people! | <urn:uuid:5924c698-1cce-4764-a118-71bffa4d2559> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://vinf.net/2010/06/08/vinf-net-on-tour-2010-planes-trains-and-bicycles/ | 2018-05-24T01:52:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865884.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524014502-20180524034502-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.948041 | 255 | [

Ennerdale and South Egremont
Taking action now to keep the taps flowing and protect the environment
Ennerdale Water has been used for water supplies for more than 150 years. Our long term-plan to supply West Cumbria with a sustainable water supply focuses on using Thirlmere Reservoir as the new source. This will help to protect the sensitive environment at Ennerdale and the wider valley.
We’ve already been taking action and carried out several projects to start reducing the amount of water we take from Ennerdale.
This has included
- The creation of new boreholes in south Egremont which link through to Ennerdale Water Treatment Works via a new 13km pipeline.
- New pumps and treatment units at Ennerdale Water Treatment Works
- Reinstating the original course of Ben Gill, an old beck which now flows straight into the River Ehen – increasing the amount of water available to the river.
- A new water pipeline from Summergrove Service Reservoir to Nannycatch Service Reservoir.
Our next elements of work
We had already installed some temporary pumps and pipes to help keep the River Ehen topped up when the water levels in Ennerdale are low.
We’re aware these have been unsightly, but they are essential to help maintain the river levels. We’ve now started work to install a permanent underground pump and pipeline. Once this is complete the above ground pumps will be removed.
We’ll also be giving nature a helping hand by carrying out work to improve the fish pass at Ennerdale. This will mean that salmon can migrate from the river, to the lake and back again more easily. | <urn:uuid:fb8cfc1f-4a6a-4dbd-9d07-b865abcc0623> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://corporate.unitedutilities.com/cumbria/our-plans/ennerdale-and-south-egremont/ | 2018-05-25T01:07:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866917.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525004413-20180525024413-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.931666 | 350 | [

Well I've applied to three companies for summer so far. NOLS Pacific Northwest as a Issue Room girl--they've written back and said they would consider me, but that they wouldn't know until March. Which is a long time to be left hanging. If they say no in March, I would have to scramble for any other sort of job. Passages Northwest--was supposed to interview me on Monday, but that's been bumped to Friday. I'm not sure how many days I would be working with them, they say 30-40, which leaves a lot of summer to fill and doesn't give me a place to live. Anacortes Kayak Tours--I'm not even sure they are hiring for this summer, the website is behind, but they offer good training to their guides and maybe I could work in logistics and also lead a few trips? That would be very nice.
Considering a couple more companies, adventure expeditions for teens that run some trips in Washington, amoung more exotic locales. But maybe I will wait a bit to see what comes of my interview.
Life in Patagonia is going along. I'm feeling underutilized as an Intern, and it is not always the easiest thing in the world to assign myself work. But I do work hard, and people are nice, and I made some kick-butt bread pudding yesterday at lunch with a lemon glaze. That's my life. | <urn:uuid:a1e6491a-16fc-4847-993e-901ec5e33bd0> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://alliemaloney.blogspot.com/2010/01/creating-opportunities.html | 2018-05-27T01:04:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867977.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527004958-20180527024958-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.986367 | 295 | [

Some have to suffer for their art.
That is what so many felt Carrie Bradshaw would be doing in the second helping of "Sex and the City" on the big screen when itfor a brand new HP model.
To experience her purported suffering I decided Thursday to suffer for my art too. Manacled and, perhaps, drugged, I was dragged to a showing of this new installment of four women's eternal quest to find joy that lasts more than half an hour.
Mercifully, the movie theater was half-empty. The movie itself was less than half as bad as many of the reviews had suggested. ("But the ugly smell of unexamined privilege hangs over this film like the smoke from cheap incense" was The New York Times' slightly charitable take.)
However, the issue you will have been craving to digest is just how Carrie looks penning her problematic self-help paean to marriage on something made by HP.
I regret to tell you that the movie offers you no nourishment whatsoever. Despite the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker made a TV spot for HP, despite the fact that HP features the movie at the end of the spot, at no point in "Sex and the City 2" does she embrace the forbidden fruit.
Instead, you will see her old Powerbook in her old apartment to which she retreats to bathe in old experiences. You will also see Charlotte have great trouble getting reception on her iPhone, to the point at which the ingenious writers offer her this joyous line: "Can you hear me now?" This, as far as I am aware, is an attempt by the producers to broaden your Verizons.
A rather lovely PC does, however, make an appearance in the office of the so very politically challenged Samantha. I believe this is called a TouchSmart PC, and I also believe I saw one being proudly poked on "Project Runway."
HP is also proud to announce that "Sex and the City 2" features the HP Mini 210 Vivienne Tam edition. Perhaps it was the effects of my difficult hot dog, but I believe I only saw it in the background of one of the scenes in Abu Dhabi, and I am fairly sure I didn't see it being used. I am certain I did not see it beneath the filigree artistic digits of Carrie Bradshaw. (The lovely nerdettes at Geek Sugar inform me that this Mini is Samantha's.)
I know that all of this information may well affect a significant portion of many readers' weekends. So I can only hope that being forewarned will help you not to have your forearms twisted, should you happen to doze through any portion of this quite stellar contemporary sociological chronicle and critique of Arab culture. | <urn:uuid:bdacb4b8-44b8-4108-b4f5-ae357a60b91a> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.cnet.com/au/news/alert-carrie-bradshaw-is-not-yet-a-pc/ | 2018-05-27T02:28:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867977.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527004958-20180527024958-00631.warc.gz | en | 0.975573 | 558 | [

It’s been far too long since I put out a V&W blog. My job has me traveling some serious miles weekly and when I get home at night, the brain cells have all gone mute.
When thinking about a band and a wine that have traveled millions of miles and are also a great pairing, I landed on the Grateful Dead and Chardonnay. The proliferation of each is astounding and a natural pairing. I first really listened to the Grateful Dead as a kid while riding in a Ford truck. My parents owned a restaurant supply business and cooking school all through my middle and early high school years. I began helping out around the shop from the time almost as soon as they purchased the business. I was about ten years old. I would sweep and mop, break down cardboard boxes, and do pretty much anything I could do as a youngster without breaking anything or hurting myself. As I grew older, bigger and stronger, my father would take me out on equipment deliveries with him. Sometimes one of his employees, TC would join us, if necessary. Some jobs were big like, large pieces of equipment for new restaurants, or sometimes the deliveries would be lots of small orders that needed to get to places around town. My favorite was going out just with TC. As the oldest child with no brothers, TC was kind of like my older brother and 20 years later we still have lunch and hang out.
When TC and I would go out on deliveries, we drove around in my father’s giant Ford F250 with an iron tie rack. I called it “Big Red”. TC was a huge Grateful Dead aficionado. Every time we went out, he would have another bootleg cassette of the Dead “live” from wherever. For years, that is pretty much all that was played in the truck on deliveries. Mile after mile, “Ripple after Dark”, “Star after Tennessee Jed”, the miles and shows tallied up. I can’t say I was ever as big of a fan as TC, but the songs slowly became rooted in my musical index, filed under “alright”, (with a big grin). The Grateful Dead may have the most number of miles under their belt and are still touring as The Dead sans Garcia. They are a well-traveled band. A few years ago I added a double vinyl set to my diverse collection of vinyls, The Best Of The Grateful Dead, What A Long Strange Trip Its Been. I can’t begin to tell you how pleasing it is to lay down one of these vinyls and sit back and relax with a glass of Chardonnay, and just listen from start to finish.
Thankfully, this is one of the pairing that I share with my wife because she is a big Grateful Dead fan as well. As far as I am concerned, the Chardonnay grape has traveled just as far as the Grateful. It originated in the hills of Burgundy, France as a cross between Pinot Noir and Gouais Blanc. Everyone is familiar with Pinot Noir, but Gouais Blanc is believed to have traversed Europe from Croatia by the expanding Roman Empire. Today, wherever wine is grown you will find Chardonnay, from France to California, South Africa to England and every place in-between. It is truly an all-inclusive varietal and regionally can be made into a decent style. One of my favorites is from California and made by Wente Vineyards. Wente makes some of the best Chardonnays in California and rightfully so, they are known as the First Family of Chardonnay. The Wente family started the emersion in Chardonnay over 100 years ago in the Livermore Valley and today, their Chardonnay vineyards have grown to more than 100 acres of plants and it is their number one most sold wine. Commercially, they sell four different labels of Chardonnay and I am sure you can find a few special bottlings at the winery if you visit them. Today, Karl Wente runs the show and keeps the tradition going strong. I think it helps that he is also a Grateful Dead fan. I’m sure he could tell some great stories of seeing the Dead live, back in the day. (Please Karl, if you are reading this, feel free to share any stories you want to in the comments.)
Wente Vineyards most accessible Chardonnay is their Morning Fog Chardonnay. It ranges in price from $12-16 and is pumped full of the classic California Chardonnay characteristics we have come to love, but not over done in any sorts. It has notes of green apple, pears, vanilla bean, toasted brioche and citrus. It tends to rate well in the press, but for $15 and under, who cares. It is just a great wine and when paired with a great band like the Grateful Dead, life is good. When we are talking distance traveled and getting mileage out of good thing, The Dead and Chard are a perfect pairing.
The picture below is a drawing of Jerry Garcia done by my wife Erin Baldwin. I had no idea it was her drawing when I first saw it. | <urn:uuid:639b8100-c518-4b5d-9c8b-5958d524dded> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.nicholasbaldwin.com/vinyl-wine/2014/7/8/vinylwine-25-grateful-dead-wente-chardonnay | 2018-05-28T02:57:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870771.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528024807-20180528044807-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.977449 | 1,082 | [

Drabek is a 'big play guy' for TWHS
Published 7:00 pm, Wednesday, September 22, 2004
Kyle has done a great job for us," said TWHS head coach Mark Schmid. "Considering the fact that he played sophomore football last year, he's done a fantastic job adjusting to varsity football, especially making the big plays he's made for us."
Among those big plays are three touchdown catches in the season opening victory over Eisenhower and three more scores in last week's win against Humble.
"From an analytical standpoint, we need to be throwing to him a whole lot more," Schmid said of Drabek who has nine total catches on the year and has scored on six of those.
Against the Wildcats, Drabek, who said varsity football has been "a lot tougher," also had punts of 53- and 47-yards that were downed at the one-yard line. That overall performance earned the 6-foot-1, 195-pound junior this week's Athlete of the Week honors by The Courier.
Being counted on to contribute to the team in several different aspects is something Drabek is glad he can do.
"It feels really good just to know that the coaches believe in me and know that I can do it," he said.
Schmid said that Drabek is starting to take over the playmaker role on the Highlander football team that was left open with the graduation of all-state performer and current Texas Tech player Danny Amendola last year.
"It's nice to see that Kyle has stepped into that playmaker role," Schmid said. "When someone like Danny graduates, you wonder how long it will be to have a player who will make plays like that. What a pleasant surprise that Kyle is moving in that direction."
That playmaker quality was never more evident than in the third quarter last Friday night against Humble. Trailing 35-31 and facing a 4th-and-7, Drabek hauled in a 27-yard TD pass from Greg Meinzer that put the Highlanders in front to stay.
"We ran the same play earlier and it worked really good," said Drabek. "When he called it, I knew it was going to work because Greg is good at throwing everything to me so far."
Schmid said that play demonstrated that Drabek is getting more confident at playing at the varsity level.
"Every week he has gained more confidence," the Highlander coach said. "That showed more than ever the confidence he has when making a big play. Greg threw a nice ball in the endzone and Kyle had to go get it. It did not drop into his arms. The type of competitive person he is, he made a great play. What he's done thus far for us, he's become our big play guy."
Part of the reason why Drabek has become a "big play guy" is due to the lessons he learned from former Highlander standouts Amendola and Jordan Dodson last year while playing with them on the TWHS baseball team.
"(They taught me) to not give up," Drabek said. "In baseball, Jordan and Danny, every time I'd get down, they would tell me to get up and finish everything. That helped a lot."
Drabek has also received help at home where the two sport star can seek the advice of his father Doug, the 1990 Cy Young Award winner.
"It's been good," Drabek said of growing up as the son of Major League All-Star. "If I'm having trouble in baseball or football, I can go to him and he'll do something to make it better."
Drabek, who thanked his parents Doug and Kristy, his coaches and teammates for helping him get where he is at today, believes that the football season will only get better for himself and the Highlanders.
"I think it's gone pretty good," he said of TWHS's 2-1 start this year. "It's been really good in practice. We'll be ready this Friday (against Klein Collins) and all of the games going on from there."
The Highlanders will open up District 14-5A play on Friday night against Klein Collins at Buddy Moorhead Memorial Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on KAXF 88.3 FM. | <urn:uuid:015a2b9b-a9a0-4c0a-975d-7b3dad274ce4> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/article/Drabek-is-a-big-play-guy-for-TWHS-9842397.php | 2018-05-28T04:13:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794870771.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528024807-20180528044807-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.987863 | 916 | [

Why Goji berries are good for your health
With immense health benefits, goji berries can be your new favouritebrunch Updated: Mar 10, 2018 23:27 IST
The goji berry, a reddish coloured fruit commonly found in China, has been designated a superfood because of its special health benefits that range from cancer protection to diabetes management.
Native to China, the sweet and sour berry is commonly eaten as a dried fruit along with mixed nuts, or it is sprinkled on muesli or wheat porridge. You can also make a goji berry decoction by first soaking the berries in water and then slowly heating/simmering that water and drinking it.
Goji berries are special because they are rich in antioxidants that destroy free radicals in the body. Free radicals are small elements created in the body due to toxic air, toxic food, and toxic water. They are also created as a side effect of regular biological processes.
Free radicals tend to damage body cells and cause illnesses like arthritis and cardiovascular issues. Goji berries, which are rich in sodium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, zinc, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and thiamine, are especially good at destroying free radicals. They also have other benefits, some of which are listed below.
* Goji berries are good for those suffering from diabetes because they do not increase blood sugar when they are consumed. They also help lower the levels of blood sugar.
* Rich in Vitamins C and B, and manganese, these berries are good for the skin.
* The antioxidants in goji berries can help reduce the possibilities of tumours among people with a family history of cancer.
* Eaten fresh, goji berries can benefit people who suffer from mood swings and depression.
* These red berries also work on the liver and detoxify it, thanks to their antioxidants.
* Since these berries are filled with beta-carotene and Vitamin C, they help reduce signs of ageing, especially on facial skin.
* The zeaxanthin in goji berries is good for the eyes.
* Because goji berries are good for the liver, they are also useful in the reduction of cholesterol, which is linked to a fatty liver.

Fossils from a Time of Intense Biodiversification
Paleontologists have discovered a rich array of exceptionally preserved fossils of marine animals
that lived between 480 million and 472 million years ago, during the early part of a period known
as the Ordovician. The specimens are the oldest yet discovered soft-bodied fossils from the
Ordovician, a period marked by intense biodiversification. The findings, which appear in the May 13, 2010
issue of the journal Nature, greatly expand our understanding of the sea creatures and ecosystems that
existed at a crucial point in evolutionary history, when most of the animal life on the planet was found in the oceans.
Discovered in Southeastern Morocco
The team-led by Peter Van Roy, a Yale postdoctoral associate, and Derek Briggs, the Frederick William
Beinecke Professor of Geology & Geophysics and director of the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural
History-uncovered more than 1,500 fossils of soft-bodied marine animals in newly discovered sites in
southeastern Morocco during a field expedition last year. Many are complete fossils, and include sponges,
annelid worms, mollusks and horseshoe crabs-in particular, a species similar to today's horseshoe crab,
which appeared some 30 million years earlier than previously known.
The Great Biodiversification Event
The Cambrian period, known for the "Cambrian Explosion" that saw the sudden appearance of all the
major animal groups and the establishment of complex ecosystems, was followed by the "Great
Ordovician Biodiversification Event," when the number of marine animal genera increased exponentially
over a period of 25 million years.
Because hard shells fossilize and are preserved more readily than soft tissue, scientists had an
incomplete and biased view of the marine life that existed during the Ordovician period until now.
Why This Discovery is So Important
"The early Ordovician was a critical moment when massive diversification takes off, but we were
only seeing a small piece of the picture that was based almost exclusively on the shelly fossil
record," Briggs said. "Normal faunas are dominated by the soft-bodied organisms we knew were
missing, so these exceptionally well-preserved fossils have filled in much of the missing picture."
Rapid Burial and Calm Waters Preserved Fossils
The site in Morocco where the fossils were discovered was conducive to preserving even the
soft tissues of the creatures that lived in its waters so long ago, thanks to generally calm
waters, occasional rapid burial that protected the animals from scavengers, and favorable
chemical conditions within the sediment that allowed for the rapid mineralization of soft tissue as it decayed.
A Burgess Shale Connection
In addition to providing a more complete understanding of marine life at that time, the team's
discovery upends a long-held belief that so-called Burgess Shale-type faunas, which are typical
for the Early to Middle Cambrian, disappeared at the end of the Middle Cambrian epoch, some
499 million years ago.
"There was an anomaly in the fossil record. Most of these animals just seemed to disappear at
the end of the Middle Cambrian," said Van Roy, first author of the paper.
The team found that these Burgess Shale-type species survived well into the Ordovician period,
which would have had a major impact on those ecosystems and their evolution, Van Roy said.
Future Work at the Moroccan Field Site
The team expects to find even more fossils representing other species during future planned
expeditions in Morocco. "We're only scratching the surface," Van Roy said. "I'm certain there
will be more spectacular fossils coming out of this site in the near future."
Authorship and Support
Other authors of the paper include Patrick J. Orr (University College Dublin), Joseph P.
Botting (Leeds Museum Discovery Centre), Lucy A. Muir, Jakob Vinther (Yale
University), Bertrand Lefebvre (Université Lyon), and Khadija el Hariri (Université Cadi Ayyad).
The fossil sites were originally discovered by a local Moroccan collector, Mohammed Ou Said Ben Moulla.
This research was funded by an Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT)
doctoral fellowship, an Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering and Technology (IRCSET)
postdoctoral fellowship, and a National Geographic Society Research and Exploration grant.

Winter may not be everyone’s favourite time of year but there are a couple of things that make it bearable. For one thing, the popular Franschhoek Bastille Festival comes round again and asks you to dust off your berets and dress up in your finest red, white and blue.
The annual Bastille Festival is a highlight in the Franschhoek social calendar and attracts visitors from all over the Western Cape – and beyond! This year it is taking place from 11 – 12 July 2015 at the historic Huguenot Monument in Franschhoek.
Visitors will once again be able to sip, sample and savour Franschhoek’s best wines, eat the tastiest foods from some of Franschhoek’s famed restaurants and enjoy the most gorgeous mountain views.
As usual, the hub of the weekend’s food and wine activities will take place at the central Food and Wine Marquee.
Other activities over the weekend include the popular Franschhoek Boules Tournament, the Delta Valley Entertainers as well as the Porcupine Ridge Barrel Rolling Competition. Other not to be missed attractions are the Farmers Markets in the Town Hall and the Church grounds, with musicians and carnival performers adding to the festival experience.
Entrance costs R200 per person and includes a complimentary tasting glass, a booklet of tasting coupons and a R20 wine voucher.
Don’t miss out on the festival that has everyone saying ‘mangez bien’! | <urn:uuid:80b06e64-70e7-46b0-8c52-b73420ae7a62> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://news.dining-out.co.za/gearing-up-for-the-franschhoek-bastille-festival-2015/ | 2018-05-22T05:48:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794864626.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180522053839-20180522073839-00031.warc.gz | en | 0.913923 | 319 | [

Ofgem and the government set out plans to upgrade the energy system this week. By developing new technologies and services, they aim to reduce energy bills for consumers in the long term.
Domestic and business customers will have more given more control over how the use and store energy as part of the Industrial Strategy launched by Business and Energy Secretary, Greg Clark. The report, 'Upgrading our energy system' outlines a plan for a smarter energy system that will help homes and businesses make more informed choices about when they use electricity and charge products.
By removing the obstacles currently in place, the government aims to deliver a more flexible energy system and smart technology to make it cheaper for customers.
The UK's energy system has been changing for a while now, with over a quarter of the UK's electricity being generated through renewables such as solar and wind. The report addresses how this change can be embraced to ensure economic benefits for both businesses and households.
New technologies that help store and manage energy are emerging and the cost to produce and run them is dropping. This has provided the UK with an opportunity to create new businesses and jobs. It is thought that improvements to the energy system and the range of smart technologies being developed will help the country save up to £40bn on energy costs between now and 2050.
Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said:
"Upgrading our energy system to make sure it is fit for the future is a key part of our Industrial Strategy to deliver a smarter, more flexible energy system. A smarter energy system will create new businesses and high-skilled jobs, while making sure our infrastructure is able to cope with demand.
"It's an important part of our Industrial Strategy, given its potential to reduce energy costs, increase productivity, and put UK businesses in a leading position to export smart energy technology and services to the rest of the world."
By rolling out smart meters and enabling energy suppliers to offer lower tariffs and by making it easier for firms to develop smart appliances and gadgets, the plan will help consumers use energy when it is cheapest or get rewarded for returning it to the grid when it is needed.

Helping Good People Through Bad Times:
Financial Advice from the experts at www.NJBILLS.com

BofA joins Citi in support of Judicial Mortgage Modification
Bank of America, the nation's largest lender and its biggest bank by assets, now supports changing the law to give federal judges the power to modify mortgages in bankruptcy.
The bank joins Citigroup, the nation's third-largest bank by assets, in supporting a change to existing law to give homeowners more leverage. Unlike other forms of debt, bankruptcy judges presently lack the power to change mortgage terms. The banking and home mortgage industry want to keep it that way -- by not allowing judges the authority to change the terms, troubled homeowners are at the mercy of their lenders. They take what they get.
But Tuesday, before a nearly-empty Congressional hearing room, Barbara J. Desoer, president of Bank of America Home Loans, said her bank now supports leveling that playing field.
"As we've gone through the lessons that we've learned with modifications and other programs, there probably is some segment of borrowers for whom that would be an appropriate alternative," Desoer said before the House Financial Services Committee.
"So you would support that in some circumstances?" asked Rep. Brad Miller (D-N.C.) in a follow-up to his original question.
"In some circumstances, yeah," Desoer responded.
In December, the House failed to pass an amendment to its financial reform bill that would have given judges this authority, despite the fact that it passed the chamber the previous March. The Senate defeated it the next month after banks and mortgage lenders of all sizes mobilized to kill the measure.
Bank of America, though, is the nation's largest lender and servicer of home mortgages. Desoer oversees a home mortgage unit that accounts for "about 20 percent of the U.S. mortgage origination market, with a $2 trillion servicing portfolio serving nearly 14 million customer loans," according to the bank's website.
Its support now gives homeowner advocates in Congress added ammunition to pressure lenders to either do more to give distressed homeowners sustainable mortgage modifications, or to threaten the rest of the mortgage industry with the possibility of reintroducing a bill that would allow federal judges the authority to unilaterally do it on their own.
Citigroup supported the change last year as Congress debated the proposal. Its position has not changed, bank spokeswoman Molly Meiners told the Huffington Post. Together, Bank of America and Citigroup hold a combined $4 trillion in assets, according to regulatory filings with the Federal Reserve.
After Desoer appeared to qualify her support, committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.), who supports giving judges the authority to treat home mortgages like other forms of consumer debt, interjected in hopes of getting additional clarification.
"Obviously the law would have to be modified to allow that circumstance," he said. "We should make clear that we can't change the bankruptcy law obviously case by case, so it would have to be an [inaudible] change."
Miller then asked a follow-up question.
"You would support a legislative change in the bankruptcy law to allow the modification of home mortgages in bankruptcy?" he asked Desoer.
"Yes," she replied. "And I believe that there is a segment of borrowers for whom that is the appropriate alternative, subject to them having gone through qualification for HAMP, or something like that, and failed." HAMP refers to the administration's main foreclosure-prevention initiative, the Home Affordable Modification Program.
"There is a segment of borrowers for whom that might be an appropriate alternative, yes," Desoer added.
In an interview after the hearing, Frank told HuffPost that Bank of America's new position was "encouraging."
"We may be able to reopen that," Frank said. "And of course, Citi stayed with it. We now have two of the four [biggest banks in the country]" supporting judicial mortgage modifications.
Frank added that he would tell the House Judiciary Committee about Bank of America's now-public position. Judiciary has jurisdiction over bankruptcy law, he said.
"Maybe we can revisit this," Frank said.
Odds are slim. Banks still wield tremendous influence in the Capitol.
"I'm not confident. I'm hopeful," said Frank. "Look, you've got the credit unions, the community banks -- people tend to overestimate the importance of the big banks. Frankly, it's the smaller entities that have more political clout, and I don't see that this has moved us elsewhere. It's helpful, but it's not conclusive."
The panel was quickly reminded that Bank of America and Citi were alone in their support for homeowners.
Mike Heid, co-president of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, butted in after Desoer finished responding to Miller, and added his two cents:
"I think you'd have to ask yourself whether a change in bankruptcy law is really the best way -- and the fastest way -- to achieve assistance for homeowners. I think there's other alternatives," Heid said in a response to a question that wasn't asked of him.
Miller quickly retorted, "We're trying to do other alternatives now, and have been for three years, and without much to show for it."
Last year lenders foreclosed on more than 2.8 million homes, according to real estate research firm RealtyTrac. The firm estimates three million homes will get foreclosure notices this year; more than one million of them will be repossessed by lenders | <urn:uuid:458f8f68-0202-4c56-9873-9f9a2a80ccba> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://cerbonelaw.blogspot.com/2010/04/bofa-joins-citi-in-support-of-judicial.html | 2018-05-26T05:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867311.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526053929-20180526073929-00029.warc.gz | en | 0.968267 | 1,150 | [

One the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s iconic "Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death" speech, Barack Obama signs into law an unconstitutional power grab, disguised as "health care reform" that steals every single American’s freedom and liberty and establishes a central command and control government that will have total control over every aspect of your life, totally usurping the United States Constitution that our founders shed blood to establish.
It is beyond outrageous: It’s obscene.
No time to sit and complain though, it’s time to get energized and organized. We must defeat each and ever democrat in every election, at every level. No quarter must be given.
Let’s face it, the concept of a "blue dog" democrat, a "pro-life" democrat, or even such a thing as a "moderate" democrat, is a myth, a fantasy, a lie!
With the passage of ObamaCare, the worst piece of legislation in American history, one so unpopular that 3 out of ever 4 Americans loudly oppose it, the mask is off. Democrats have proven what many of us have been saying for a long time: Radical Marists, communists, have taken complete control of the party.
In essence, there are no trustworthy democrats, none. With the events we have witnessed over the past year, since radical communist Barack Obama took office, we now know that this group of Marxist thugs have no respect for the Constitution, no respect for the rule of law, and absolutely no respect for the American people.
These people must be defeated at every level, and shunned by polite society. Again, no quarter should be given. We learned all too well with Bart Stupak that ALL democrats are unprincipled traitors who would sell their children for the right price. In fact, that’s exactly what Stupak did, except he sold other people’s children.
Speaking of Stupak, he is a traitor to the nation. He sold us all out for his 30 pieces of silver and he sold out the millions of babies who will be murdered in the name of the Almighty Obama!
Stupak has a challenger, Dr Dan Benishek. Dr Benishek is a businessman and a solid conservative. He is not a career politician. Just a regular guy who wants to serve. We urge everyone to support Dr Benishek. You can check him out on Facebook here and catch an interview he did with Mark Levin here.
Sarah Palin, the leader of the free world, has announced a plan to start taking our nation back, one seat at a time:
Don’t Get Demoralized! Get Organized! Take Back the 20!
With the president signing this unwanted and "transformative" government takeover of our health care system today with promises impossible to keep, let’s not get discouraged. Don’t get demoralized. Get organized!
We’re going to reclaim the power of the people from those who disregarded the will of the people. We’re going to fire them and send them back to the private sector, which has been shrinking thanks to their destructive government-growing policies. Maybe when they join the millions of unemployed, they’ll understand why Americans wanted them to focus on job creation and an invigorated private sector. Come November, we’re going to print pink slips for members of Congress as fast as they’ve been printing money.
We’re paying particular attention to those House members who voted in favor of Obamacare and represent districts that Senator John McCain and I carried during the 2008 election. Three of these House members are retiring – from Arkansas’s 2nd district, Indiana’s 8th district, and Tennessee’s 6th district – but we’ll be working to make sure that those who replace them are Commonsense Conservatives. The others are running for re-election, and we’re going to hold them accountable for this disastrous Obamacare vote. They are: Ann Kirkpatrick (AZ-1), Harry E. Mitchell (AZ-5), Gabrielle Giffords (AZ-8), John Salazar (CO-3), Betsy Markey (CO-4). Allen Boyd (FL-2), Suzanne M. Kosmas (FL-24), Baron P. Hill (IN-9), Earl Pomeroy (ND-AL), Charlie Wilson (OH-6), John Boccieri (OH-16), Kathy Dahlkemper (PA-3), Christopher Carney (PA-10), John M. Spratt, Jr. (SC-5), Tom Perriello (VA-5), Alan B. Mollohan (WV-1), and Nick J. Rahall II (WV-3).
We’ll aim for these races and many others. This is just the first salvo in a fight to elect people across the nation who will bring common sense to Washington. Please go to sarahpac.com and join me in the fight.
Stand tall, America. Real change is coming!
- Sarah Palin
There is a reason why we and millions more refer to Sarah as the leader of the free world. Sarah Palin consistently speaks to the liberty and freedom our founding fathers fought and died for. Like the great Ronald Reagan before her, Sarah brings optimism and a can do spirit that is sorely lacking in others.
Sarah Palin sees America as "that shining city on a hill" that Reagan often spoke of.
Sarah also brings her competitive, never say die, spirit to the fight. No road is too long, no mountain is too high. Sarah inspires us all with her grit and determination. Watching her, a woman who grew up in a simple log cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, and rose to the highest levels of power and achievement, inspires us all to do our best each and every day, to work hard toward our goals, and to enjoy life to the fullest while we do it. She reminds us we all have the power to succeed.
America is the greatest nation ever to exist. Only in America does the opportunity exist to start with nothing and become everything. No other nation, now, or in history has empowered it’s citizenry in the way our nation has empowered them.
That all started changing today though. The moment Obama signed the legislation, liberty and freedom was dealt a massive blow, some say a mortal wound. Some say liberty and freedom are now dead and buried.
I however, refuse to say that. Liberty and freedom have been severely wounded, but there is plenty of time to heal them. The treatment for this, the prescription, if you will, is a thorough cleansing, starting with Congress.
We must rid Congress from all of those who would desecrate our Constitution and all of those who would see to grow government further. This includes progressives in BOTH parties. Anyone who disrespects the American people and seeks to go against their will.
Then we must remove these dangers to our liberty and freedom at the state and local level.
In other words, just as we must defeat each and ever democrat, at every level! We must also defeat the progressive Republicans. They are just as bad, because they enable the democrats in their insanity.
The time for timidity is over folks, we must be bold, we must be courageous. We can no longer sit back and allow these intolerable acts to be forced upon us. Our nation’s survival demands it!
"The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come."

PATTAYA: Tourists have been warned to steer clear of countless tiny jellyfish that have been washed ashore along Jomtien beach in Bang Lamung district on Saturday.
The jellyfish, 1-2 centimetres long, blanketed the two-kilometre beach of Pattaya and the seawater where it lapped the sand.
Local vendors said the jellyfish started to surface on Friday and were an annual phenomenon. They warned visitors not to swim in the area and were cleaning the beach of the sea creatures.
Surasan Khwandee, a local beach safety official, said that the tiny jellyfish made swimmers’ skin itchy. Pattaya City already has put up warning signs and its staff are offering advice to visitors.
He said that local officials would be collecting the jellyfish daily.
Trat province experienced swarms of larger box jellyfish, which can cause more painful and potentially fatal stings, earlier this month. – Bangkok Post

The 2013 NCAA tournament has seen a wide variety of twists, turns, upsets and blowouts. Through the fire, however, has emerged an unlikely Final Four participant in the Syracuse Orange.
In order to make an appearance in the NCAA championship game, Syracuse must receive powerful production from James Southerland.
Syracuse has been marvelous during the NCAA tournament, mixing defensive brilliance with offensive efficiency. If you don't believe that to be true, simply check the numbers.
Thus far, Syracuse is averaging 65.8 points per game and allowing 45.8 points per game—a difference of 20.0 points.
The Orange defeated Montana by a score of 81-34 during the round of 64. In the round of 32, they took down California by a score of 66-60,
During the Sweet 16, the Orange defeated No. 1 seed Indiana by a score of 61-50. That was the lowest scoring output of the season by the Hoosiers—a team that ranked third in the nation at 80.0 points per game.
In the Elite Eight, Syracuse took down Marquette by a score of 55-39. The common theme throughout has been Southerland.
Whether offensively or defensively, Southerland has been the X-Factor.
The Syracuse Orange are a strong offensive team with an elite facilitator in Michael Carter-Williams. With that being said, they also shot just 33.7 percent from beyond the arc during the 2012-13 season.
The exception to their defensive woes is scoring forward James Southerland.
Southerland is averaging 13.5 points on 40.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc for the season. He's also averaging 2.5 three-point field goals per game, which is higher than any other player on the team.
Syracuse will need that type of production from Southerland come the Final Four.
Southerland has stepped up thus far, as he came up with solid offense against California and Marquette. During 'Cuse's six-point win over the Golden Bears, he scored 14 points and made two three-pointers.
On a night in which the Orange shot 38.0 percent from the floor, Southerland also scored 16 points against Marquette—they'll need more of the same against Michigan.
Thus far during the NCAA tournament, James Southerland has made a powerful impact on defense. Even within the 2-3 zone, Southerland has found a way to make his individual mark on defense.
That was never more evident than Syracuse's defensive dominance of Indiana and California.
Against Indiana, Southerland tallied seven rebounds, three blocks and three steals. He helped block off the corner three, protect the rim and pick up slashing ball-handlers.
Due to his contributions, the Orange managed to hold Indiana to its lowest scoring output of the season.
Against California, Southerland finished with nine rebounds and four steals. This is the type of outing that Southerland is capable of, as his length enables him to play the passing lanes.
Should Southerland step up in that regard against Michigan, Syracuse may just make its first national championship game appearance since winning the title in 2003. | <urn:uuid:da15fb33-d841-4b86-adda-255f42950297> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1589179-syracuse-basketball-championship-berth-rides-on-james-southerlands-production | 2018-05-27T05:42:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794868003.97/warc/CC-MAIN-20180527044401-20180527064401-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.96978 | 663 | [

Shaq Jones will commit to Louisville (officially) Wednesday
I wonder how fans knew what players committed to their favorite teams before social media. Did they just show up to spring practice and see the new faces and figure it out then? Because these days, news travels faster than ever. This is a perfect example. Louisville will get a commitment on Wednesday for this year’s football class, but we already know about it tonight.
Shaq Jones is a 6’2 defensive back/wide receiver from Merritt Island, Florida. He recently decommited from South Alabama and will officially commit to the Louisville Cardinals tomorrow (Wednesday). He is only listed as a two-star player, but we know how much that means to Bobby Petrino, not much. He turns two-stars into four and five-star players. CSZ’s Steve Rummage seems to think that rating is low anyways.
Jones’ header on his twitter bio shows a Louisville Cardinal and he has been retweeting everything tonight with fans talking about him committing to the Cards. He even responded to someone who asked if he was committed and said “2morrow”, so it is pretty much a done deal.
Check out these highlights of Jones. Petrino got himself a good one!

For Immediate Release
National Civil Rights Coalition Launches Campaign to End For-Profit Private Prison System
Corporate Investors and Board Members Urged to Drop Exploitative Business
NEW YORK - Today, ColorOfChange, in partnership with Grassroots Leadership, launched a national campaign to put an end to the for-profit private prison system. Through extensive and direct outreach, the campaign is asking investors and board members of for-profit prison companies to divest themselves of that business practice -- or face being held publicly accountable.
“The United States incarcerates more people than any other nation in the world. For-profit prison companies rake in billions in annual revenue by promoting and exploiting mass incarceration and racial-bias in the criminal justice system -- further accelerating our nation's prison crisis,” said Rashad Robinson, Executive Director of ColorOfChange. “The prison industry depends on investors and corporate backers for the capital it needs to keep growing. At the end of the day, the more people in prison, the better private prisons and their investors and corporate backers do. As a result, they hire lobbyists, advocate for harsh drug laws and mandatory minimums, and promote a culture of support for incarceration all at the expense of Black and brown communities and taxpayers of all races.”
Federal agencies and state governments contract with three main companies to lock people up: Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), GEO Group, Inc., and the Management and Training Corporation (MTC). The top two prison companies, CCA and GEO, are publicly traded and financed by investors, major banks and corporations, who hold shares in the industry. CCA and GEO Group make money by charging a daily rate per body that is sent to them — costing taxpayers billions for dangerous, ineffective facilities. The industry also makes money by avoiding tax payments. CCA will dodge $70 million in tax payments this year by becoming a real estate investment trust (REIT) and designating their prisons as "residential".
In order to maximize profits, prison companies cut back on staff training, medical care, and rehabilitative services — causing assault rates to double in some private prisons as well as by lobbying for and benefiting from laws that put more people in jail. In the 1990's CCA chaired the Criminal Justice Task force of shadowy corporate bill-mill, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which passed "3 strikes" and "truth in sentencing" laws that continue to send thousands of people to prison on very harsh sentences.
In many parts of the country, the political tide is shifting against the for-profit prison industry. Earlier this summer, Kentucky, Texas, Idaho, and Mississippi broke ties with CCA after reports of chronic understaffing, inmate death, and rising costs to the states became undeniable. In April, New Hampshire rejected all private prison bids because the prison corporations could not show that they would follow legal requirements for safely housing prisoners. And, there is growing opposition to California Governor Jerry Brown's misguided plan to comply with a Supreme Court order to alleviate the State's prison overcrowding crisis by moving thousands of prisoners into private facilities, at a public cost of $1 billion over 3 years.
FRIENDS: Help Us Fight
Independent journalism has become the last firewall against government and corporate lies. Yet, with frightening regularity, independent media sources are losing funding, closing down or being blacked out by Google and Facebook. Never before has independent media been more endangered. If you believe in Common Dreams, if you believe in people-powered independent media, please support us now and help us fight—with truths—against the lies that would smother our democracy. Please help keep Common Dreams alive and growing.

Don’t Make These Saddle-Buying Mistakes
MOLLY HURFORD X JULY 19, 2015
Choosing the best bicycle seat doesn’t have to be intimidating—or painful. Here’s how to get it right.
Finding a perfect bicycle saddle is like finding your life partner: It can be a long journey and you’ll probably have a few missteps along the way. Some people find the perfect saddle (or soulmate) right away; for others, the journey can take years. But while we can’t offer great dating advice, we can make the quest for the perfect saddle easier by looking at what you might be doing wrong in your hunt, and what you should be doing instead. To get the inside scoop, we talked to Paula Dyba, vice president of marketing at Terry Bicycles, who shared some of her best tips—and worst mistakes that she sees—when it comes to buying saddles.
Not Taking a New Saddle for a Test Ride
Using your hands—instead of your rear—to test the saddle is a common problem, Dyba explains. But you should always take it for a test ride, if possible. “Many bike shops allow you to test a saddle, or give you a return option if you’re not happy.”
Equating Soft with Comfortable
Just because a saddle is well-cushioned, it may still be the wrong size or shape for you. Since our sitbones are always looking for a solid place to sit, cushiness can mean more pressure on your sensitive bits. “You want your weight to be supported by your sit bones, not by your soft tissue area,” says Dyba. “A soft saddle feels good for about 20 minutes, but then all that weight distribution on soft tissues can really start to hurt.”
Assuming You Need XYZ Saddle
All cyclists have different body shapes—and that applies to butts, too. That’s why saddles come in different lengths, widths, and levels of firmness. “There are definite differences in sensitivity issues, rider style, and bike fit among riders,” says Dyba. | <urn:uuid:1a1e2364-3267-496b-bd7a-60798e6fce19> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://community.terrybicycles.com/wordpress/terry-in-the-news/bicycling-dont-make-these-saddle-buying-mistakes | 2018-05-21T09:05:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794863972.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20180521082806-20180521102806-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.928116 | 489 | [

According to research presented at the Food and Nutrition Conference (FNCE) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, people who sleep less have a higher risk of weighing more. This is because the lack of sleep causes disruption to the hormones that regulate appetite. Additionally, when you are tired, you may not have the energy to exercise, and you are more likely to make poor food choices and snack more often. It is important to aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night for optimal health. Exercise is also important to maintain weight, and not just because you are burning calories. Exercise helps regulate metabolism and control your appetite. Weight loss is not just about dieting; remember to sleep and exercise in order to get the body you want!

So, just home from a fantastic three-day trip north to Ullapool and beyond, as far as Durness. This was a first for Aileen and I, no kids involved, quite a novelty. I had the aim of capturing some good photos, helped by mixed weather and some very good light. Meanwhile, Aileen wrote a few poems while I was taking my shots. This first shot was taken just north of Rhiconich, headiong towards Durness. The skies had just dumped a huge torrent of rain on us but there were a few gaps of sunshine like the one shown here. It was pretty gloomy so I had to increase the ISO as I was taking the shot handheld due to trying to be quick to avoid getting soaked (me and the camera). The result is that the original shot was pretty noisy and in reducing the noise (using Nik Define which is pretty good normally) the image has softened a bit, but the dramatic lighting makes it worth keeping I think.
The next shot was taken at Achnahaird looking across the expanse of peat bog northwards towards Suilven and Quinaig. This worked quite well in colour, with the contrasting blue sky and yellow grass abd bog but I really liked the more dramatic impact
of the clouds in the black & white version. The newly cut peat and the neat stacks show what might appear to some to be a wild landscape is actually managed by man and along with grazing this culture has defined these fantastic landscapes in many ways.
The rest of the shots here represent the best of what I managed to colelct, digitally at least. However, I did take a few on 35mm B&W film and 120 B&W film. Finally, at Balnakiel, Durness, I used my new pinhole lens for my Intrepid 5x4 film camera to try and capture the expanse of the beach. Once I get round to processing those, if the work, I will scan them and post them as well.
I am an amateur photographer who is also a Chartered Geographer (GIS) with his own part-time consultancy business and I work as an estate manager for a national conservation charity in Scotland. I am based in Lochalsh, Wester Ross, Scotland, just next to the Isle of Skye.

“Baby, Let’s paint the town red today”, a guy once said to me when I was still at that point when I heard quirky lines on a day to day basis. I can remember thinking that anyone who talked like that must be up to no good. Paint the town red, ke? With my blood?! It was a scary thought to my 16 year old mind.
“Paint the town red” I eventually found out is a phrase coined as far back as the 1830’s meaning to engage in a riotous spree, connoting a riotous behaviour resulting in much blood being spilt.
Red is associated with blood, roses, fire, the sun and the sky at sunset. I recently commented on a picture of the sun setting, that it had the capacity to hold me in awe no matter how many times I saw it, with its kaleidoscope of red hues vying for glory as the sun retires to the West. Red is used as a symbol of guilt, sin and anger, often as connected with blood or sex. It is also a symbol for love, passion and beauty.
Another popular example of its symbol for guilt is in the phrase "caught red-handed", meaning either caught in an act of crime or caught with the blood of murder still on one's hands. The phrase "red-blooded" describes someone who is audacious, robust, or virile. Red catches people's attention, and can be used either in a negative way to indicate danger and emergency, or in a positive way in advertising to gain more viewers (many thriving brands use red as their color) or in nature, as a ripe fruit announces its readiness with its red color.
Several studies have indicated that red carries the strongest reaction of all the colors, with the level of reaction decreasing gradually with orange, yellow, and white, respectively. Because of this, red is often used to catch people's attention in a variety of situations like in football where the heart rate of fans increase as they sight that red card produced from the pocket of the referee.
There is something about the year 2011 which I perceive: it is a year of the red.
2011 and the red of love.
As a nation and as individuals, 2011 is a year that must be heralded with much love bursting in our hearts. The recent bombings in Jos, and even the bombings we had at the Celebration of our 50th anniversary are not events that should occur in 2011. Love for our neighbor irrespective of tribe, religious affiliations, and political partisanship should be practiced throughout the year and beyond.
This is a most timely reminder for us all even as we embark on general elections in the new year; election rigging, zoning disputes, acts of terrorism and kidnappings are not indicators of the love of God. We, young people are usually the targets of political hooligans exploiting our red bloodedness, and therefore all such manipulations should be resisted and instead that passion channeled to loving and lovely causes. So in this case, let’s not paint the town red with our neighbors blood, but with the colour of love; red.
2011 and the red of the BLOOD
Let’s paint our towns in 2011 with the blood of JESUS. Just like in the Old Testament when the blood of rams and bulls was sprinkled on door posts so that the angel of death passed over, the blood of Jesus should be our own covering in the new year.
It should go beyond merely a repetitive chant in churches and homes (Blood of Jesus! Blood of Jesus!) but a real awareness of the power of that blood and what it achieved for us.
Let us paint stop signs all over Nigeria with the red of His blood and say halt to Satan’s activities in the year 2011. The Scripture says” though your sins be as scarlet (red), they shall be white as snow”. In the Bible’s color coding, red+RED=WHITE; the capital red being the red of His blood.
This new year I would be caught red handed, painting the town red!

90 percent of us have big regrets: dealing with it is a crucial skill for healthy living
Maybe an unexamined life is a little more worth living than we thought: recent research has shown that wallowing in regret can lead to feeling stressed, anxious, unhappy about life … and even impact physical health.
A study in the recent issue of the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin shows that about 90 percent of adults have deep regrets about their lives, and that the more they dwell on it the worse their quality of life tends to get. If we all have big regrets – and it looks like we virtually all do – then managing regret is a crucial life skill.
How do we do that?
Current research in psychology and sociology has begun to focus in on self-regulation processes – a person’s ability to come up with ways to manage how they feel at any given moment. For example, someone may self regulate, ease their pain, about losing a job by thinking about the homeless person on the street.
Previous research has shown that this works for regrets, too: in general people feel better about lost chances or regrets when they think about others who are worse off than they are. Say for instance, someone is mulling over losing an opportunity to travel around the world when they were in college. Thinking about others who never had the opportunity to go to college tends to be an effective way to ease the pain of regretting that missed trip.
Bauer and Wrosch tested two hypotheses about self-regulation and regrets:
1) That we feel better about lost opportunities when we see that others have lost similar opportunities and that getting access to these opportunities was not easy
2) That feelings of regret are not related to age. We are as likely to feel the loss of opportunities at any age.
Their research indicates that both of these hypotheses are true. What this suggests is that regret isn’t a phase we go through or a feeling we “deal with,” but a fundamental question of the way we find meaning in our lives.
In existential-humanistic psychology regrets are associated with finding meaning in our existence through our experiences. Without meaning, there is regret. An article published in the January 2004 issue of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, “Existential Regrets: A Crossroads of Existential Anxiety and Existential Guilt” provides a definition of existential regret: a “profound desire to go back and change a past experience in which one has failed to chose consciously or has made a choice that did not follow one’s beliefs, values, or growth needs.”
Existential regret may seem far more profound than the type of regret that Bauer and Wrosch were looking at in their research but it’s not. Regret is regret. It’s about making choices that are ultimately in line with our values and the kind of person we want to be. A trip around the world could have been incredibly transformative. There may be good reasons that someone wouldn’t go … perhaps the young college student felt they needed to stay home and work part time to support their family. But even in cases when both the choice to go and to not go are in line with their values, one can regret … profoundly and existentially … making a choice that cut off an avenue for meaningful personal growth. That’s why regert doesn’t necessarily go away with age.
At the same time looking at the lives of others reminds us that we are not just self-created … we are products of the world around us as well, inevitably “living for others” (in Satre’s phrase) and making the choices we have to make as well as the choices we want to. Seeing this struggle in others can make us remember that we can not expect perfect results in our own struggle. Being proud of the victories we have attained is a source of meaning, and one that we are reminded of when we see those who have not been able to attain it. Someone who feels regret for not taking a trip because he needed to take care of his family can feel pride in what he has accomplished when he hears about another family falling apart.
If that seems to accentuate the negative a bit much, there’s good news: Another, more positive, strategy for dealing with regret is available. According to Bauer’s and Wrosch’s research, people also self-regulated to ease the pain of regret by re-engaging with lost opportunities.
How did they do that? By looking at others in their lives that managed to accomplish their goals.
Recall those little success stories we hear on Oprah or read in the magazines by the checkout stand about the grandmother who decided to go back to college to complete her degree or the returning veteran who is an amputee post war who completes the marathon they always wanted to compete in. These types of stories can be just as helpful in self-regulating our regrets as comparing ourselves to others who are a little bit worse off in life. This type of self regulating the researchers found, seems to be far more healthy and provides a great opportunity for personal growth.

"New" in this case simply means "new to me".
|Jacks Abby Framinghammer "Italiano"|
This new, brewery only, draft only variant of the immensely popular Framinghammer Baltic Porter series is simply, absolutely, amazing.
The recipe was recommended by Italian workers who came over from Italy to help set up some of the brewing equipment at the new Clinton Street facility. Brewed with coffee, Star Anise, and lemon zest and packing an ABV north of 10%, this brew is stunningly delicious, super smooth, soft on the palette and absolutely perfect in every way.
How good do I think this is? Put it this way, I've been to the new brewery twice now, and of the 7 beers I've had while there, this has been 6 of them. And I don't regret passing up all of the other amazing beers on the menu one bit. If you have the chance to enjoy it before its gone, do yourself favor and go for it.
2. Backlash- Muerte
First, check out the bottle art- its absolutely beautiful. Art inspired by Mexico's "Day of the Dead" Holiday, with the Backlash knuckles incorporated so perfectly, I love it.
And the beer is just ridiculous- an imperial stout brewed with cold brewed coffee, vanilla bean, cinnamon sticks, and scotch bonnet peppers. Its an insane ingredient list. It honestly scared the hell out of me.
But it fucking works! In an amazing, amazing way. Major props to Backlash for taking this risk with these ingredients. Their web site describes this as being inspired by Mexican Hot Chocolate, and they nailed it. Its an awesome beer.
Melcher Street IPA
I don't know if this beer is new, or just new to me, but I love it.
Purchased at the new Trillium Brewery in Canton and brought home in a growler, this was my fist Trillium IPA. (I know, seriously, what was I waiting for? Tough to get Trillium where I live. Or, at last it was :))
4. Devils Purse Brewing- Handline Kolsch
Long story short, I'm a sucker for a good, classic Kolsch. It's an underbrewed, under appreciated style.
This is a great brew from a great new brewery on Cape Cod.
Check them out if you get a chance.
And yes, that is a glorious, ice cold, 32 ounces CROWLER in that photo! I love the Crowler, I really, really do.
(The mason jar was because I was on vacation. Really.)
5. Founders- Backwoods Bastard
Another dark ale packing an ABV punch- 11%- rounds out my list of new favorites from 2015.
It was a close call, there were a few other strong contenders for this list, but I kept coming back to this one. This is an old ale aged in oak bourbon barrels. Bourbon barrels do wonderful things to beer. Super smooth, moderate mouthfeel, and slight alcohol burn make this a great beer for a cold New England night.
What were you favorite "new" beers of 2015?
Have a happy, safe, and excellent new year all! | <urn:uuid:8b5195ec-8a83-4f6e-a4ea-d19c62d938e6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://mandrinksbeer.blogspot.com/2015/12/my-favorite-new-beers-of-2015.html | 2018-05-23T09:12:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865468.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523082914-20180523102914-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.956887 | 675 | [

MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME MEN’S SOCCER
Wednesday, September 13, 2017
Clean Harbors Stadium, Buzzards Bay, Mass.
FINAL: NICHOLS 4, MASSACHUSETTS MARITIME 2
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. -- Graduate student Ryan Banker (Ashaway, R.I.) netted a goal and an assist as Nichols scored three times in the final 13-plus minutes of the opening half to post a 4-2 non-league college men’s soccer victory over Massachusetts Maritime Wednesday evening at Clean Harbors Stadium.
Senior Paul Sickinger (Tyngsboro, Mass.) staked the visiting Bison (3-2-1) to a 1-0 advantage just 9:07 into the match on a feed from sophomore Chris Noga (Belchertown, Mass.), but the host Buccaneers (1-3) evened matters just 27 seconds later when junior Zach O’Neil (Scituate, Mass.) took a pass from sophomore Adam Crawford (Kingston, Mass.) in front of the net for his first goal of the season. Banker gave Nichols the lead for good with a breakaway tally in the 32nd minute, and sophomore Corey McEvoy (Bohemia, N.Y.) extended that margin to 3-1 just 34 seconds later when he converted passes from Noga and freshman Ali Ali (West Springfield, Mass.). Senior Cooper Milano (Caldwell, N.J.) capped the visitors’ late first half outburst by converting a Banker feed that gave the Bison a 4-1 edge at the break, and senior Chris Beaulieu’s (Carver, Mass.) first goal of the season on a pass from freshman James Roland (Fairfield, Conn.) in the 70th minute accounted for the second Massachusetts Maritime marker of the night as well as the final score.
Sophomore Juan Carlos De La Cruz (Stamford, Conn.) made a pair of saves to earn the victory in goal for Nichols, while senior Mike Pruchnik (Rochester, Mass.) made nine stops in the setback for Massachusetts Maritime as the Bison outshot the Buccaneers by a 17-10 margin overall (13-4 on goal) and held a 6-4 advantage in corner kicks for the contest.
Massachusetts Maritime travels to Fitchburg, Mass. on Saturday afternoon to take on Fitchburg State in the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference opener for both teams that begins at 1:00 p.m., while Nichols entertains Wentworth in its Commonwealth Coast Conference opener on Saturday afternoon in Dudley, Mass. beginning at 2:00 p.m. | <urn:uuid:7fc59aca-a6e7-4bce-9055-25aeb74ea3a6> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://mmabucs.com/sports/msoc/2017-18/releases/Nichols_Summary | 2018-05-23T08:42:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794865468.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20180523082914-20180523102914-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.911732 | 557 | [

When Rihanna and Chris Brown decided to get back together for a pair of remixes— RiRi's "Birthday Cake" and CB's "Turn Up The Music"— the reaction from fans and critics alike was mixed. "How could she collaborate with someone who she so famously had a public and violent falling out with?" many wondered.
But Rihanna defended herself this morning on Ryan Seacrest's radio show.
"I reached out to [Brown] about doing 'Birthday Cake' because that's the only person that, really, it made sense to do the record," she said. "Just as a musician, despite everything else, that was going to be the person. I thought about rappers, and I've done that so many times, and the hottest R&B artist out right now is Chris Brown. So I wanted him on the track and then in turn he was like, 'Why don't you do the remix to my track?' and it was a trade-off."

The 2017 photographs were taken with a Yashica Electro 35CC compact rangefinder camera on Ilford Delta 100 film. There was rain and drizzle, and the contrast worked out perfectly with this film and development. I bought this little Yashica as a convenient walkabout camera for an upcoming trip to Nepal. The 35mm f/1.8 Color Yashinon lens, a Sonnar type, is very high quality. The film was developed by Praus Productions in Rochester, NY.
The 2008 frame of the old Chevrolets is from Panatomic-X film, taken with a Fujifilm GW690II medium format camera. | <urn:uuid:00bc2f5b-bc5a-4093-befa-adb688b48a80> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://worldofdecay.blogspot.com/2017/10/small-towns-in-mississippi-return-to.html | 2018-05-24T08:12:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794866107.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20180524073324-20180524093324-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.906975 | 222 | [

The three big kids have completed their second day of school! They are exhausted (and so are we)! Caroline is still having a hard time getting dropped off in the morning. It's absolutely heartbreaking for me. I know she stops crying soon after I leave but I still hate leaving her that way. When I come to pick her up at the end of the day she is all smiles and proclaims she has had a great day and loves school. Savannah and Jackson also had a great day. I find it so interesting to hear them talk to each other about their day. And I just love that they have the opportunity to see each other during the day now :) They eat lunch at the same time, have recess at the same time and their classrooms are right across the hall from each other. I'd love to "spy" on them and see what they do when they see each other. Do they get excited and say "HI!" or do they hide their excitement? In any case I encourage them to acknowledge each other and always be supportive of each other - you never know when nice words from a friend or sibling can help turn a bad day into a great day :) McKinley still hasn't taken more than 5 steps but she's doing it! And she just smiles as she's doing it like she knows how exciting this milestone is! | <urn:uuid:2fb4ce54-0763-483c-9578-c138fc9d4a29> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://fletcherlove.blogspot.com/2012/09/school-day-2.html | 2018-05-25T08:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867055.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525082822-20180525102822-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.989822 | 270 | [

I never thought I could create pieces that were so different from what I paint. I am painting some abstract pieces without any kind of form. Just color and composition. I try and give a composition anyway!!! lol. I just went with the flow. I went with my spirit. I painted from my soul. I have never arranged colors and shapes in such a way. I did not even structure a shape.....more like a streak of paint and a space of bare metal here and there with color mixed in. Texture from the rust peaking through. Splats of paint over the entire pieces. It is interesting. At first I did not want to continue ....then one error led to another and WAMMO! It was a piece. A piece of what I dont know. But I did manage to get out of my rut I was in this morning. Everyone in my twitter and facebook family kept on telling me to take a walk, take a break....NO! Paint! I say...paint until it comes to you. That is what I did. My 701 year old mother just lost her husband, my dad...and she wants to walk/jog/run again already. She feels weak and down but she still wants to press on. There is a saying she has told me since I was a child.."querer es poder" It translates very plainly...but in essence it is Ambition is Power! To want is your strength! If you always want to improve in your life it is very powerful the things we can achieve. So I am not afraid. I tried something totally different then what I was comfortable with. I will be displaying this in my next public display next weekend. I will be vulnerable but If I do not open myself i will never grow. For all of you who read this. I love you all.

Loyal reader Grant and photographic hero Uncle Spike apparently are in love with the Ford GT. They prefer the original version. I am looked upon with derision because I much prefer the Bugatti Veyron which is the pinacle of automobile engineering. I was out shooting yesterday and stumbled across the new Ford GT that is a beautiful specimen but has the maintenance record is just short of awful but who am I to argue with such distinguished readers but if there was a Veyron I would have shot that way before I shot some Ford GT.
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. The unwashed masses did not see my genius at work and kept walking into the shots and screaming at them that I was an artist didn’t seem a wise idea. I was surrounded by a large number of people with vast quantities of firearms considering I was at an airport and they take security very serious. It didn’t seem the best place to have a fit of artistic angst where it may have been construed as a potential terrorist act. | <urn:uuid:965a1f79-1928-43ae-9fbf-bb2c669a350c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | https://www.inducedchaos.com/2012/09/23/ford-gt/ | 2018-05-25T08:52:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867055.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180525082822-20180525102822-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.985001 | 208 | [

UK-based pumps supplier SPP Pumps has emphasised the importance of routine mechanical maintenance, among other preventive measures, to improve pump reliability.
SPP Pumps’ products comply with mandatory UK and European regulations and approvals, which guarantee extensive testing of all pumps.
Regulations in the UK and Europe include adhering to the Water Regulation Advisory Scheme, the Drinking Water Inspectorate, the Attestation de Conformité Sanitaire, and the Energy Using Products directives. Strict conformity ensures reliability and long life cycle of the company’s pumps.
SPP Pumps has led the design and manufacture of centrifugal pumps and engineered pumping solutions for over 130 years. The company is also a member of the South African Pump Manufacturers Association (Sapma).
Pump Life Cycle Support
Routine mechanical maintenance is not the only factor that improves pump reliability. Poor or incorrect installation, poor pump and system matching, or changing operating parameters after commissioning can all lead to premature problems and, potentially, costly failures or downtime.
Pump installation is a specialist skill, and is not always available from general mechanical installation companies. SPP Pumps offers a full installation and commissioning service, which includes supervising the installation process.
SPP Pumps explains that each pump is tested in the company’s extensive facility. Pumps undergo rigorous duty tests, witnessed by customers and contractors where required, to ensure that the performance criteria are met. SPP Pumps’ facility boasts a 1.2-million litre well, which is 6 m deep. Engineers can test pressures up to 50 bar, flows up to 2 000 ℓ/s, and at 50 Hz power up to 800 kW at 415 V, and 2 MW at 11 kV, 10 kV, 6.6 kV, 5 kV and 3.3 kV, with generators available for even higher powers or voltages.
SPP Pumps’ range of horizontal and vertical multistage pumps is ideal for high head applications that require a heavy-duty long-life pump. A variety of construction material options and generously rated bearings meet the demands of water and industrial applications. Computational fluid dynamics-tuned hydraulics and modern manufacturing techniques optimise efficiencies and minimise running costs, with rigid, heavy-duty fabricated steel baseplates used to prevent distortion.
Over the last 15 years, life cycle cost analysis and total expenditure considerations have changed the way operations view capital projects to replace pump systems and plants. Rising energy costs, government levies imposed on carbon dioxide production, and the expense of services outages result in capital cost representing a mere 10% of the total lifecycle spend.
SPP Pumps’ lowest life cycle cost range has been engineered to provide the most efficient pumps, with minimal maintenance and the lowest cost solutions over a pump’s typical 25-year lifetime.
Sapma has endorsed SPP Pumps’ success and innovation, which has propelled SPP Pumps in becoming a key industry player. Sapma also says SPP Pumps is a model of the calibre of members within the association. | <urn:uuid:fa40ae74-07dc-4c70-afa6-ae3f691e0bcb> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://engineeringnews.co.za/article/routine-mechanical-maintenance-emphasised-as-preventive-measure-2017-10-06 | 2018-05-26T08:20:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867374.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526073410-20180526093410-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.916613 | 642 | [

Taiwan's President Ma Ying-jeou on Thursday renewed his call for the United States to sell fighter jets to the island, arguing its survival was at stake despite his outreach to China.
Taiwan "is a sovereign state; we must have our national defense," Ma, who often plays down suggestions of the island's separate identity, said in an interview with The Washington Post.
"While we negotiate with the mainland, we hope to carry out such talks with sufficient self-defense capabilities and not negotiate out of fear," Ma said.
Relations between the China and Taiwan have improved markedly since Ma took office in 2008. But Taiwan fears that the military balance is shifting toward a rapidly growing China, which recently rolled out a stealth fighter jet.
"We oppose the use of military force to resolve cross-strait disputes. However, this is not to say that we cannot maintain a military capability necessary for Taiwan's security," Ma said.
The United States last year approved a $6.4 billion weapons package for Taiwan including Patriot missiles, Black Hawk helicopters, and equipment for Taiwan's F-16 fighter jets, but no submarines or new fighter aircraft.
Asked about Ma's request, Admiral Robert Willard, head of the US Pacific Command, indicated that the United States would sell weapons again to Taiwan in the future but that no decision had been made.
"I think there will come a time when the Taiwan forces, be they air forces or any others, will have to be recapitalized," Willard told reporters.
The United States recognizes only Beijing as China's government but is required by law to ensure Taiwan's capability to defend itself.
China considers Taiwan, where the mainland's defeated nationalists fled in 1949, to be a province awaiting reunification, by force if necessary. Ma last year reached a sweeping trade pact with China, seen as a milestone in ties.
Ma, whose Beijing-friendly policies have sometimes been controversial at home, defended his record on human rights which he said were a "core value" for Taiwan.
Ma noted that he has marked China's 1989 crackdown on the Tiananmen Square democracy protests and urged Beijing to release Nobel Prize-winning dissident Liu Xiaobo.
"Naturally, we hope that the mainland as it interacts with us can gradually become free and democratic," Ma said, while acknowledging that "this is not an easy task."
But Ma also pointed to comments by Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao on political reforms, saying: "They have even on many occasions talked of democracy, saying that democracy is a very good system." | <urn:uuid:13aec5ac-d24d-4293-9b4d-0a4715dc1f4c> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://geneva-globaldefence.blogspot.com/2011/02/taiwan-leader-says-us-jets-critical.html | 2018-05-26T08:08:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794867374.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180526073410-20180526093410-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.973514 | 529 | [

When Nicky married James
Lest anyone think for even a second that I’m somehow a fan of Nicky Hilton, let me start this blog post by saying no. no. no.
But when she married Brit’s James Rothschild in London this weekend… well, I had to at least look at the photos, right? From an Anglo-American perspective? You’re curious, too?
Here are some of the photos …

Located about 6 km from Ziarat town, called Nari Sar by locals, Prospect Point offers a panoramic view of the Koshki valley below. It lies at a height of 2,713 meters above sea level and is 6 km from Ziarat. The road is metaled, but a walk is recommended. The drive is uphill all the way but at Prospect Point itself the ground is leveled. Once at the peak with wind whistling through the forest one can see the valley stretch out in undulating slopes in front. From a nearby cliff, one can clearly see the highest peak of these hills known as Khilafat, which rises to a height of 3,487 meters. There is a small rest house situated nearby. Advance booking can be made through the office of Deputy Commissioner of Ziarat. | <urn:uuid:57fcb0f1-5775-4806-a758-75f6557e00b3> | CC-MAIN-2018-22 | http://www.discover-pakistan.com/prospect-point.html | 2018-05-28T09:27:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-22/segments/1526794872766.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180528091637-20180528111637-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.964394 | 167 | [

If the property is large and possesses a garage area you may need a method size to substantial size dumpster. This medium dimension dumpster is equal to five vehicle loads or even three tons. The large dimension dumpster is equal to ten vehicle loads or even four plenty of space for that items you no more want. Marketing and advertising to decide to rent the dumpster that is a small too big when compared with too small. Think of how much your dad's or mom's have that has to be dumped from the cellar as well as the garage area.
Cleaning out a whole home, developing, or storage unit means looking through goods to determine what exactly is salvageable and what exactly is trash. A few items might be kept or even resold; other individuals go directly to the recycle center and the local remove. You'll need someplace to put trash once it really is out of the building-and odds are, you don't have the time or vitality to drive back and also forth to the actual landfill each hour.

Pecan Tassies Recipe
September 19, 2018
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 Tblsp melted butter (I usually add a little bit more)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla (I usually add a little bit more)
- Dash of salt
- ¾ cup pecans – chopped into small pieces Make the filling:
- Mix together the sugar, butter, egg, vanilla, and salt, removing any lumps from the sugar. Add the pecans and mix well.
- 1 ¼ cup all purpose white flour
- 3 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup butter
Make the crust:
- use the dough attachment of my kitchen aid mixer, otherwise mixing by hand may be best):
- Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and blended.
- Add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
- Form the dough into a rectangular brick, wrap in saran wrap or wax paper and refrigerate for at least two hours.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Work quickly because the dough is easier to work with when chilled.
- Immediately cut into 24 evenly sized pieces. I cut it in half and half again and then cut each quarter into six cubes.
- Roll each piece into a ball and place into small muffin tins. (handle as little as possible to keep it chilled)
- (I’m not sure the size, but its smaller than the mini tins I use for mini cupcakes.)
- Using your fingers, press each ball into a crust, making sure there are no holes and that the top edge is above the ridge of the pan.
- (you can buy a tool for this, but I find it is easier to do it by hand)
- Fill each crust about ¾ full. If you fill them too much, they will bubble over when cooking and get stuck to the pan.
- Bake at 325 for about 25 minutes or until the crusts are very slightly browned. (I bake at 325 convection bake and start checking them at 20 minutes).
- Transfer to a cooling rack as soon as they are cool enough to handle. They will be easier to get out of the pan when still very warm, especially if the filling bubbled over. | <urn:uuid:2a232bf0-fc51-4b6f-a2a4-8ba063de7840> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.law.upenn.edu/live/news/8462-pecan-tassies-recipe | 2019-05-19T08:29:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254731.5/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519081519-20190519103519-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.901419 | 473 | [

As you most likely already now, as a DWM client, you have a few ways to access your information:
As you most likely already now, as a DWM client, you have a few ways to access your information:
This month I attended the annual Schwab Solutions event in Chicago. It is an excellent opportunity for DWM to make sure we are up to date on all the recent enhancements to Schwab’s technology offerings, which we offer to our clients. The focus was on cybersecurity and fraud prevention: Cybercrime is now more profitable than the illegal drug trade. That’s scary. In addition, “Financial services firms are hit by security incidents a staggering 300 times more frequently than businesses in other industries, with attack patterns changing frequently to outwit IT pros, according to Websense.” Phil Muncaster, Info Security Magazine. One great way to help prevent fraudulent wires or identity theft is to take advantage of electronic signatures and approvals through the Schwab Alliance website and the Schwab Mobile app on your smartphone. No pen needed! They also have some other really handy features too, like remote deposit (great for those April 14th IRA contributions!). It’s quick, easy, and, most important, secure. Schwab even has a guide that will walk you through setting up both.
On the Schwab Alliance website, you can view real-time information, nickname your accounts, retrieve 1099s, enroll in paperless delivery, approve wires, electronically sign applications, and more. You can even update your contact information (no need to sign a change of address form!)
Schwab also offers a very useful app. As with the website, you can see your Schwab accounts, approve wires, and electronically sign applications. And you can remotely deposit checks. It’s available for iPhone/iPad, Android, & Kindle.
The electronic approval tools are a key feature of the website and app. It enables you to access forms and wire requests securely by logging directly into Schwab with your credentials, thus helping prevent fraud. Besides coming to sign in person, this is the most secure method. Email was not designed with security in mind, and accounts can be easily hacked. You may not realize what kinds of data a thief could mine from your sent and filed emails. It could be enough for them to commit wire fraud or steal your identity. For this reason, it’s best to avoid using email for anything that contains sensitive information.
So what’s the next step? Follow the guide to set up your Schwab Alliance credentials and app on your phone. Make sure your cell phone number and email address are up to date (which can be done through Schwab Alliance). That’s it! The next time we need you to sign a Schwab form or approve a wire, you will receive an email with a link to the Schwab Alliance login page. You will also receive an alert on your phone screen prompting you to log in to the Schwab Mobile app to approve/sign digitally. It will walk you through the signing or wire process; just click a few buttons and you’re done! We can even include DWM forms in the same ‘envelope’.
We are confident the Schwab Alliance website and mobile app will save you time and give you peace of mind.
When you hear ‘two-step’, a certain dance move may come to mind. That two-step may be fun, but a different kind of two-step is becoming critical to your account security. Two-step verification, also called two-factor authentication, is becoming widely available for accounts of all kinds from Amazon to Paypal to your email service. It adds a step in the login process beyond the usual username and password to verify you are really who you say you are, and protect your account from hackers and thieves. It requires ‘something you know’ (i.e. a password), plus ‘something you have’ (like your smart phone or a one-time code generator). That way, even if someone guesses or gets a hold of your login information, they won’t be able to log into your account.
Why is this necessary? One good example is an attempted wire fraud that happened to a DWM client recently. The client had received an email with an attachment from someone he knew. When he opened the attachment he unwittingly installed malware (malicious software) that allowed the would-be thief to have full access to his email. You may not realize what kinds of data a thief could mine from your sent and filed emails if they can get into your account. It could be enough for them to steal your identity or guess their way into other accounts, especially if you use the same username and password across websites as many people do. In this case, the thief continued an old email thread to make a wire request, and used the client’s signature block and writing style (including correct spelling and punctuation) to look very legitimate. Fortunately, Schwab instituted a verbal verification protocol a few years ago because these kinds of fraudulent wire requests by email were sharply on the rise, and many attempts had been successful. Furthermore, DWM is familiar with most of our clients’ money movement habits, which adds another layer of security. Anything out of the ordinary sends up a potential red flag and warrants additional verification and scrutiny. We called the client and found out he had not sent the request and wasn’t aware his email account had been hijacked. He immediately reset all his passwords, activating two-factor authentication so the thief couldn’t get into other accounts, scanned his computer for malware, and is fortunate he didn’t sustain a financial loss or spend countless hours to repair his credit or other accounts.
Another example, of someone who wasn’t so lucky, is Mat Honan. He’s a technology writer who had his whole digital life wiped out in less than an hour by hackers who did it just for fun. With a little social engineering and information that was available on the internet, his laptop and phone were remotely wiped (including irreplaceable family pictures), he lost his online document storage, his social media accounts, his email history, you name it. If the hackers had been financially motivated they could have easily ordered things through his Amazon or Apple account linked to his credit card, or worse. (You can see the full story here, but I don’t recommend reading it before bed- it may give you nightmares.)
Based on the above examples, you can see how two-factor authentication has become a necessity. And it’s really not that difficult, although there are several ways websites achieve the ‘something you have’ step:
If you log in from a phone, tablet, or computer that you haven’t previously verified, they may text you a single use code to log in.
Other sites use an app like Authy or Google Authenticator (free for smart phones), which creates a new code every 30 seconds.
A few sites, such as Schwab, use a physical code generator that looks like a small key fob, which generates a new 6 digit code every time you log in. To request a free security token, simply call 800-435-4000. Besides the protocols in place to prevent fraudulent wires, Schwab has a security guarantee which covers 100% of any losses from a Schwab account due to unauthorized activity.
A list with links that will take you to the right place for each website can be found here: https://twofactorauth.org/. As I started this process myself, I was shocked by how many websites I use were on the list that I hadn’t even thought of.
Putting this extra layer of security in place may be a small inconvenience, but it’s nothing compared to the inconvenience of losing your digital life or identity.
Learning is so very important. Just because one has undergone extensive training through classroom work, hands-on experience, or has obtained a prestigious designation like the Certified Financial Planner practitioner or the Chartered Financial Analyst charterholder, doesn’t mean the education stops there. At DWM, we actively participate in ongoing education to keep us up-to-date with the latest and greatest in an industry that is constantly evolving and changing by the second.
In this blog, I’ll provide a little insight about what I think is the “mack daddy” educational event in our industry: Schwab’s annual IMPACT convention, held this year in beautiful Denver, Colorado. For a Registered Investment Advisor Representative like me, I think it’s the best convention available in terms of blending thought-provoking speakers, networking opportunities, and collaborative learning that can be customized to an advisor’s personal taste.
For example, the educational sessions that I chose included ones such as health care reform, social marketing, and investor behavior. I also attended many investment-oriented sessions including, but not limited to, emerging markets, liquid alternatives, fixed income, and smart beta. It was also great fun to hear different ideas and research some of the newest products from over 300 exhibitors in the 500,000+ square foot Exhibit Hall. One can also see CNBC broadcasting within the Hall, where, as they say, “the heartbeat of the industry beats”, represented by the networking of around 2000 of the country’s finest advisors (including yours truly).
There are always a number of good speakers at this event. Charles Best, who leads DonorsChoose.org, a nonprofit organization that provides a simple way to address education inequity, spoke of how the same technology behind “crowdfunding” can help students in schools with needs. Dr. Dambisa Moyo, economist and author, gave us macroeconomic views on global affairs and where this world may be heading if we don’t take action now. But the most thrilling presenters were this year’s keynotes: Dr. Ben Bernanke, our former Fed Chairman and President George W. Bush. Bernanke talked about the crazy times during the Great Recession and how he and his team led us out of the turmoil and brought this country back on its feet. George W. talked about his new passion and talent for painting and how anyone can reinvent themselves however old or young they are. He also had everyone rolling when he told us the story about how Putin made it a point to show him how Putin’s dog was bigger, stronger, and better than Bush’s dog, Barney.
These events are great in that we get to hear past and future leaders and gather our own ideas which ultimately make us better leaders. We leave an event like this with new ideas, strategies, and knowledge to propel us individually forward, our firms forward, and our clients forward.
My four day agenda was jam-packed. The days were long amongst all the sessions and networking, but there were still a little time for fun which for me included a stop at fabulous Mile High Stadium and culminated with the final night event featuring the band Train (“Hey Soul Sister”).
In an effort to continue to learn and gain knowledge, Les and I attend many educational events and workshops like this throughout the year. They equip us to be stronger advocates for our clients and for our industry. Never stop learning. Knowledge is power!
The cyber attack this summer on JPMorgan Chase compromised the accounts of 83 million households and 7 million small businesses. Last year, the information of 40 million cardholders and 70 million others was breached at Target. In September, hackers got 56 million names, addresses and phone numbers at Home Depot. Fortunately, it has been reported that the various hackers did not get detailed information such as account numbers, passwords, social security numbers and dates of birth. Even so, cyber attacks are on the rise.
The financial industry is working on prevention- JPMorgan, e.g. plans to spend $250 million per year on security. Congress is discussing legislation. Regardless, individuals need to take primary responsibility for the safety of their identity and assets.
Therefore, we thought we would recap some of our earlier comments regarding prevention of identity theft. In addition, we’ll update you on the safety of your accounts at Schwab and your 401(k) plans.
Here’s what you should do re digital security:
Here’s what to do at home:
When out and about:
At the same time, we’re pleased to report that assets held at Charles Schwab & Co. or company 401(k) plans should be secure. Here’s Schwab’s guarantee: “Schwab will cover 100% of any losses in any of your Schwab accounts due to unauthorized activity.”
Schwab monitors every disbursement from each account. Anytime a transfer request comes through to send money to a third party, Schwab will first contact the investment adviser, such as DWM, to make sure we have talked with the client and that this disbursement is authorized. In addition, in many cases, Schwab will also contact the account holder directly. We’ve seen phone calls on transfers of as little as $600. We and Schwab recognize that it’s a bit of a pain to have to answer a call about a transfer for which you have already signed, but in this day and age of hackers, it’s a necessary and valuable procedure.
A few caveats about the guarantee. First, account holders need to safeguard their account access information including login ID, password and security questions. If they share it with anyone, Schwab will not cover the loss. This information is not shared by Schwab with us, Orion, or any other party. Second, if you suspect you have been a victim to activity you didn’t authorize within your Schwab account, Schwab needs to be notified immediately.
Unauthorized activity in a 401(k) or similar account would be very difficult to accomplish. First, there are only certain times that a participant could request funds from the account. They could do it to borrow money from their account, when they terminate employment, or when they have an in-service withdrawal. All of the requests are typically done through the human resources department of the employer and require signed documentation. In addition, we have only seen transfers from 401(k) plans either go directly by wire, trustee to trustee, to the same registration at a new custodian or, in the case of a check, mailed to the participant’s home address and made payable to the participant and the new custodian.
In addition, we have been asked about the cloud services DWM uses based on the breach of the Apple iCloud. We are pleased to report that Orion and MoneyGuidePro never request, nor receive, any client account access information.
Nowadays, wherever you go, it seems half the people around you are looking down at their phones. (That is, if you take the time to look up and notice this phenomenon). In fact, over 90% of the US adult population owns a smart phone. But you can make good use of your screen time because one of the best ways to stay current on your investments is through mobile apps. We would like to spotlight two important (and free) ones today.
DWM: We recently blogged about our Client Portal overhaul. Did you know you can see the same information through our mobile app? You can see all your accounts in one place, check balances and positions, see performance, run reports, view statements, and contact us. It’s available for iPhone/iPad & Android.
(Click on any image to see a full size version)
Schwab: In addition to Schwab Alliance, Schwab offers a very useful app. You can see your Schwab accounts, approve wires, electronically sign applications, deposit checks, pay bills, find a branch, and more. Even more exciting capabilities are coming soon. It’s available for iPhone/iPad, Android, & Kindle. Schwab even has a one page guide that will walk you through set-up. (Again, click on any image to see a full size version)
Credit card and bank or credit union apps are also handy to have on your devices. Simply search for them in the iTunes Store for Apple users, or the Google Play Store for Android devices.
If you have trouble finding what you’re looking for, AppCrawlr is “the app discovery engine”. This is a great, user friendly site where you can find apps by category or many other criterion, for any device.
Of course, make sure all your devices are password protected so sensitive information isn’t accessible to prying eyes. This is one of the easiest things you can do to protect your identity.
Lastly, for our clients, you are welcome to bring your tablets and smart phones to our meetings. We would like to make sure you are able to login and answer any questions you might have. | <urn:uuid:478d7665-4735-47bc-8a19-d31c94ec09b7> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://dwmgmt.com/archives-blog/index.php/tag/schwab/ | 2019-05-20T13:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232255944.3/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520121941-20190520143941-00351.warc.gz | en | 0.955128 | 3,522 | [

In my last blog, I wrote about witnessing a young girl commit suicide in front of me by jumping in front of a train. I knew it affected me, but it did more damage than I thought. There are days when I don't dream about it, and those are the good days. I need to go back a few years to explain why my depression came on so slowly that I didn't realize I was depressed.
I had thyroid cancer almost ten years ago, which led to me having a complete thyroidectomy. I have to take a pill for the rest o
I've always wondered what drives people to the decision to end their life. In certain cases I can understand why, I may not agree but I understand. There are a few who choose to do it in the privacy of their homes while other's choose a more public forum. The reason I bring this up is because last Monday, I was waiting for the train on my way into work. A young lady and her friend were talking but I had my headphones on and couldn't hear what they were saying. The young lady looked down the tunn
Over the years, you either learn who you are as a person or you don't. I've learned that when you have the right people in your life everything will run smoothly. There might be a couple of bumps along the way but you learn to keep going. There seems to be at least one bump which turns into a freaking insurmountable obstacle you don't think you can get over.
My insurmountable obstacle came when I worked to a large retail store who could give a flying f$*K about there employees. When I was hi

This is getting increasingly harder to do now that one job is done for the summer season and the remaining two are constantly cutting back on hours. I've worked almost 50 hours a week sometimes working two jobs a day for three months. But now I find myself barely working twenty hours combined for the last two weeks.

I recently suffered the loss of an aunt. It was unexpected and hard to deal with. Ever since I was little, I've had a problem with the thought of death. My first experience came with the passing of my grandpa (my dad's dad). This was the first and only funeral, I've attended in the almost 38 years I've been alive. At the time of his passing, "Thriller" was in heavy rotation on MTV and the radio. So think of it from my POV, I'm six years old, and I'm watching my grandpa being lowered into the gro
After one the worst years of my life last year, I look to 2014 with a new attitude and a new fondness for life.
2013 brought about the loss of a friend (they didn't die), an unexpected emergency surgery and the length of my hair.
The friend, I'd mentioned in a past blog I'd written, is still a sore spot with me because I never received the closure, I felt I was owed from my ex-friend. I've seen this person but I was in a rush to get to catch the last bus for me to get home. I saw her and
Over the past year, I've experienced episodes of back pain accompanied with bouts of nausea. The first few times I rode them out and didn't seek medial help. The last three times before this week, I sought out medical attention through the ER and with my primary doctor. I had my kidneys checked and knew they were not the cause of my pain.
Then early Saturday morning of last week, I had an attack which left me in tears and went to the ER. I explained all my symptoms and told the doc I didn't
so I'm off to the hospital again! I went to the ER last Saturday morning, I felt good for a day but have been unbelievably uncomfortable ever since then. I'm hoping I can get a better diagnosis at this hospital than what I got at the last one. I have a nagging feeling something was overlooked and I'll regret not going back to have myself looked over again. I'm just nervous about what can be found but I'd rather have a definitive answer than play a game of "What If?" Well I'm off!
I've been up since 4:30am. I was awakened by stabbing pains in my lower back which induced nausea. I was so nervous, I went to the ER and was just released an hour ago. My doc thought it was kidney stones but it turned out to be just a severe muscle spasm. I tried to go back to sleep but I'm still feeling the pain in my back. Now, I'm hanging out in my living room, on the couch, watching the first season of "2 Broke Girls", and debating which season of "The Big Bang Theory" to watch. Decisions.
I find myself asking two questions: I'm another year older (37) but am I another year wiser? Am I still supposed to make mistakes at this age?
I've made choices in one instance which inadvertently ended a friendship. In this case, I know what I did wrong but my former friend takes no blame for her part. She sees herself as the person wronged in this situation and refuses to even talk to me. I give people chances. I gave her multiple chances for us to talk but she chose each time to walk away
I never had to come out as being straight, it was just something known by everybody who knows me. I haven't the slightest idea what it means or how it feels to come out as being gay. So how do I go about writing my main characters coming out having not had to go through it myself? I went on instinct. I had numerous directions I could go writing in the way they came out and the reactions of the parents. Do they accept them? Are they indifferent? Are they quoting from the Bible while throwing holy
As a young child, I was an avid reader and a book hoarder. By the time I was nine, I'd already accumulated over 800 books and counting. My mother allowed me to read whenever and whatever I wanted, which was the best thing she could've done for me growing up. Though my 6th grade teacher had a problem with my reading, "The Color Purple" during class, I continued to read on.
I read so much, I decided I wanted to become a writer, one of the many professions I wanted to do growing up in the 80s a | <urn:uuid:8e2c88f0-8f5d-457b-ab41-84294a2b88aa> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://gayauthors.org/blogs/blog/540-huktaunluvs-blog/ | 2019-05-21T17:21:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256494.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521162634-20190521184634-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.991448 | 1,359 | [

Patience is a virtue. Supposedly. Well, I guess. It always brings me back to the old printed poster we saw in the “head shops” of the early 1970’s.
The publishing industry is much like the old hardware stores, where walls of tiny little drawers house little parts of an endless variety. Someone in those old stores knew how to find even the most obscure part, screw, or nail. It was a gift.
Those old hardware stores are gone. But, in the publishing industry, those categories are still around. And they change. Sometimes they change year to year. Sometimes they change from one bookstore to another. Even online booksellers have different, often incompatible, categories.
Amazon allows an author to set up the categories for his/her book(s). As the author dives into this, though, restrictions rear their ugly head. Certain topic areas can’t be included in certain age categories, for example. You can’t start with science fiction, and roll down to teen or young adult and then Christian. You have go another way.
Then there are limits to how closely you can define your genre via the categories. Some allow only two or three levels.
When Sudden Mission was first published, the publisher set the primary category as “middle grade.” I thought that included teen or early teen. Silly me. I found out that this put my books in the classification of children’s books. I don’t think the Spirit Missions books qualify as children’s books.
So, when I re-launched the books after that first publisher closed their doors, I set the initial categories as teen or young adult. Then I had to struggle to get things to accept Christian and science fiction as a genre. What fun.
Sometimes the whole category things gets a bit maddening. I grew up reading science fiction, but that’s not all. I read biographies, mysteries, historical novels, history, drama, and classic literature. Even Shakespeare’s plays. My favorites were Julius Caesar, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet, and Midsummer Night’s Dream. So, how does one categorize all that?
Or, how important is it to categorize all that?
Could the entire motivation to read something is for a good story. Interesting and compelling. A good story.
Maybe the only category we really need for books is “a good story.”
P.S. The summer and early fall have been very busy with travel and other things. I hope you stick with me.
Wednesday, Carolina Dawn releases and this represents the series end for Spirit Missions. Those who pre-ordered will see them in their e-readers, and the print editions ship from the printer then.
For me, Spirit Missions started in 2012 with some wild ideas and the result was Sudden Mission. The series name didn’t come about until after Nasty Leftovers and I knew there would be a third novel. It has been fun, exciting, and hard work and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
I want to take a moment and thank all my readers and supporters. Without your support and reviews, it wouldn’t be possible. Keep that in mind. Without reviews, authors and their work languish in obscurity. Even just a star rating–if nothing else–is very welcome.
Now, I move on to other projects. I plan to try more short fiction and a more adult Christian-themed novel. I might release a combined edition of Spirit Missions, with all three novels, and the two related short stories under one cover. We’ll see how it works out.
It’s hard to believe that almost six years ago, I sat down to my computer and started this journey. I learned so much about writing, editing, publishing, covers, and marketing. I’m still learning. Honestly, I don’t think the learning will stop. It seems something new crops up all the time.
Early on, I learned about book trailers. I took mine down shortly after Booktrope closed their doors. I recently put the trailers for the first two books back up on YouTube. Links are in the book pages. I’ll have a trailer for Carolina Dawn out soon.
Keep an eye on my Events page, too. Things are starting to come together. I’ll add events as they get scheduled.
Again, thanks. Enjoy!
Carolina Dawn went on pre-sale today! So, it is officially published.
This link takes you to the ebook: Amazon
And these links takes you to the print: Amazon
As they just went up, Amazon hasn’t combined them under my author account yet. In five days, they should both show up on the links. Amazon will deliver your ebook to your e-reader on Feb. 14, and ship the print edition beginning on the 14th.
Just FYI, Barnes & Noble have the print edition on special sale price. And, they show all three print books under my author link.
If you buy a print copy on Amazon, you can get the ebook edition for free.
This is the cover for Carolina Dawn, the third and final book in the Spirit Missions series! This cover, created by Scott Deyett (InHouse Graphics) will grace the ebook editions of Carolina Dawn when it releases on February 14, 2018.
I think Scott did a great job here. I gave him some brief details on the main character, a little about the theme of the book and what Amy should have. Rather than stick with the dark blue theme of the previous books, he brought out the dawn for this one and it rocks.
The Title Breakdown
Carolina. The book takes place almost entirely in North Carolina. I hope y’all who live there can identify with the locations I use. Hope I didn’t destroy your house.
Dawn. Well, yes, there are a couple of scenes involving dawn breaking over North Carolina. But, you have to read the book to pick up why I used this title.
Blurb on Back Cover
Amy Grossman must decide about Paul Shannon’s proposal. Guilt over Joe’s death still eats at her. Then there is Lucy–a competitor for Paul’s affection–to deal with. She also fills her days with gardening, handling power outages, and perimeter guard duty.
A stranger arrives with dire news turning Amy’s life new directions. With its very survival on the line, the community must pull together one more time.
She knows God has a plan for her, but surely ending up zombie food couldn’t be part of that plan. | <urn:uuid:49a460a6-e459-4f57-a8fd-467fe45502c6> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://guypace.com/tag/spirit-missions/ | 2019-05-22T23:34:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256980.46/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522223411-20190523005411-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.948017 | 1,406 | [

Vintage 2014 was a season of extremes for us all in McLaren Vale. We had great winter rains which gave us a full soil moisture profile in time for a dry and windy spring. They don’t call it windy Willunga for nothing. We had a series of very hot days in January, followed by about 45mm of rain over a 48 period in early February which slowed ripening of our red grapes right down. We had picked all of our white grapes prior to the rain ‘event’ and so we had a decent break between whites and reds, like the good old days. There was no splitting of any of the grapes left on the vine after the rain, mercifully, either. Joch’s analysis of 2014 is that it was a gentleman’s vintage – everything came in slowly and in order.
The Italian Amarone style of wine has been our enduring inspiration for the White Boar over the past decade and more. Inspired by, but in no way a copy ; we use Shiraz and Cabernet and not Rondinella, Corvina and Mollinara which are the indigenous varieties used to make Amarone. We cordon cut our vines and then dry and concentrate the grapes on the vine as opposed to harvesting them and drying on racks as they do in Italy. After about 10-12 days drying on the vine, we pick and crush and ferment the grapes, before maturation in big old oak barrels before bottling and further maturation.
Dark red fruits, leather, allspice, liquorice on the nose, with a full, soft palate and soft tannins combined with enormous length and persistence.
|Picking Date||Shiraz 11th March 2014, Cabernet on the 2nd April 2014.|

My wife and two little boys moved from Bucks County. We knew of the area, but were not familiar with all of the neighborhoods and school systems. Our #1 goal was to be in a top ranked public school for our kids. She was very patient in showing us homes from Media, Wayne, Malvern, and Ardmore where we now call Home!
To be honest, I was very hesitant on this home due to it being a "fixer upper", but MB insisted that the location was amazing and surrounding area was extremely desirable. Now that we are here even only a single month, she was much more than right, we could not be happier with the Location Location Location.......she even brought me some food while renovations were underway....:)"

John Wesley in Ireland, 1747-1789 Vol. 1
|Author: ||Rogal, Samuel|
John Wesley's forty-three-year mission to Ireland has been inscribed, permanently and significantly, into the history of religion among the Irish, both in Ireland and North America. He converted some 14,000 Irish to Methodism. Many of those immigrated to North America between 1760 and 1775, extending Wesley's influence throughout colonial America.
"John Wesley's Journal is one of the great classics of Christian literature. Unfortunately, the fact that it is only available in four or eight volume editions tends to discourage the Methodist pilgrim from carrying it along to follow in Wesley's footsteps. . . . Samuel J. Rogal has performed another service for us. Mr. Rogal has abstracted all the Irish references from the Journal, the Diaries, the Sermon Register, and the Letters of Mr. Wesley. He has brought them together according to locality, grouping in a single article all references to any one town, village or rural area. It is a very considerable achievement, and makes it a simple matter to study all that Wesley said about each place. For each major locality there is a brief introduction, culled from a number of guidebooks." -- Methodist History | <urn:uuid:9d25d21a-249c-47ff-a31b-a0d3c3df279a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://mellenpress.com/book/John-Wesley-in-Ireland-1747-1789-Vol-1/1621/ | 2019-05-24T04:14:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257497.4/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524024253-20190524050253-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.922602 | 260 | [

PETALING JAYA, Dec 7 — The decision by the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) to garnish the wages of its borrowers has been met with both resignation and dissatisfaction from its loan takers.
Finance industry employee Jared Koh, 28, who took a ten-year loan and has been working for almost five years now, says it would be unfair for his company to deduct his salary to repay PTPTN.
“This is not what I signed up for. We agreed to the original terms and the points stated therein of how much to pay. How can you suddenly make the change like that?
“Without consulting the public or the borrowers, PTPTN is going beyond what they promised and as such makes things very one-sided,” Koh said.
PTPTN chairman Wan Saiful Wan Jan announced Wednesday that starting from January next year federal student loan takers earning above RM2,000 a month no longer have to directly pay their loans as the funds will be deducted from their salaries.
He said to do so a directive will be issued to employers to garnish wages where needed.
For banker Nurul Fauziyan Samsudin, 34, the move is “inappropriate” as it does not factor in the borrower’s other commitments. Similar to Koh, she took a 10-year loan and has been working for almost as long as that.
“Based on the table they provided, I will have to fork out RM320 monthly instead of the RM200 I have been paying all this while,” she said.
Nurul Fauziyan said this was an about-face to PTPTN’s prior promise of allowing borrowers to repay according to their affordability.
“Doing it in this manner is ridiculous. I can understand if they garnish the wages of borrowers who avoid repaying, but doing so to those who have been dutifully paying every month is highly disagreeable,” she said.
But for fresh graduates less than two years or so in the workforce or still looking for employment, Wan Saiful’s announcement is one bullet they are willing to bite down on.
Medical technician Kei Eugene, 23, who graduated last year, says the scheme poses no problem as her plans on repaying the loan remain unchanged.
“However, as I see it, there are many who (intentionally) do not pay back, and only do so for the outstanding amount when they need to go overseas since you can be blacklisted.
“I think the ones most affected will be high-income earners as it is at 15 per cent. In the end, if they do decide (on) the monthly deductions, I will not be affected so much,” she said.
Sports science graduate Samuel Joel Oh, 23, who graduated earlier this year, said despite taking a loan to fully finance his three-year programme, he was not worried about the garnishment scheme as he is in the lowest category.
“It is not a problem for me. I would like to clear the debt as soon as possible so if they want to deduct a little bit every month I am good with it,” he said.
The scheme begins at two per cent for those earning between RM2,001 and RM2,499, extending to 15 per cent for those with monthly salaries of RM8,000 or more.
Employers who assist their staff to repay their study loan through the scheme will be entitled to tax relief for the amount paid, which will benefit both full repayment or monthly repayments with the condition that employers would not impose any terms against the staff after the repayment is made.

It's not about us.
Wait, did you get that? Too often in too many places we are confronted with so many promises to give us comfort, convenience, and pleasure focused on ourselves. But the ultimate life can only be found when it is centered on the Ultimate Creator, who invented and delights in pleasure - and that greatest pleasure is found in the worship and love of God Himself. God's love, power, glory, and beauty are infinite, and He delights to share His all-consuming pleasure with us. Our greatest wonder and awe are found in God Himself, the author of pleasure.
"In your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore" (Psalm 16:11).
C.S. Lewis stated, "It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us..." (The Weight of Glory).

US Warships Sail Through South China Sea as Trump's Trade War Escalates
President declares additional tariffs on China
US warships have sailed through the South China Sea just a day after president Donald Trump warned China he would impose additional tariffs as the trade war the country escalates.
According to the US military, two of its warships sailed near islands claimed by Beijing in the South China Sea.
Although China claims the waters are its territory, Washington insists the sea is open to international transit under the principle of “freedom of navigation.”
The US guided-missile destroyers ‘Preble’ and ‘Chung Hoon’ moved within in 12 nautical miles of Gaven and Johnson Reef in the Spratly Islands, according to Reuters.
A spokesman for the Seventh Fleet, Commander Clay Doss, said the maneuver was “innocent,” and claimed it t served to “challenge excessive maritime claims and preserve access to the waterways as governed by international law.”
The Ships cames not long after Trump declared he increased American tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods this week, before targeting more soon.
The threat was made as recent negotiations between Beijing and Washington.
The South China Sea is the subject to multiple claims of territory y countries including China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei.
The US has frequently been sending its warships out into the area to carry out patrol missions.
But the South China Sea isn’t the only waterway subject to recent US activity.
The White House announced it would deploy the USS ‘Abraham Lincoln’ Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the Middle East as part of an attempt to “to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime.”
Eye on China
On January, reports emerged that Chinese researchers were developing a potent 'doomsday device' capable of killing millions according to reports.
Researchers in China are now using a rare metal to develop a “salted” nuke that could have the potential to kill millions of people and leave the earth uninhabitable.
Researchers chose to use the metal, tantalum, in its warheads because it has an unusually high melting point of 3000C, meaning it can withstand the pressure to propel ions to high speeds and control their movement towards targets. | <urn:uuid:e29cdd0b-0506-4405-8aef-3eceec325bea> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://neonnettle.com/news/7364-us-warships-sail-through-south-china-sea-as-trump-s-trade-war-escalates | 2019-05-19T12:30:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254882.18/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519121502-20190519143502-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.942403 | 488 | [

Connected storage is more versatile storage, but that's just one of the many benefits of buying a NAS device. We've tested the top models to tell you which one will work best for your home or small business.
Bottom Line: PCMag provides up-to-date coverage and product reviews of Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
Bottom Line: The 4TB Western Digital My Cloud Mirror Gen 2 is one of the easiest network-attached storage (NAS) devices to set up on your home network. It's an excellent choice if you're a first-time NAS buyer.
Bottom Line: The Netgear ReadyNAS 202 is a speedy consumer/SOHO network-attached storage (NAS) device that gives you access to your documents, music, photos, and videos whether you're at home or away. It's a simple way to get a personal cloud setup.
Bottom Line: The QNAP TVS-463 is a speedy network-attached storage (NAS) drive with PC-like features including video playback and virtualization. You'll have to provide your own drives, but after that, you'll have a quick storage array with plenty of extras.
Bottom Line: The 24-terabyte Western Digital My Cloud DL4100 network-attached storage (NAS) drive array is an elegant turnkey solution if you need lots of simple, redundant file storage for your business.
Bottom Line: Western Digital's WD Sentinel RX4100 NAS offers SMBs very good performance, excellent data protection, and the power of Windows Server. But incompatibility with all but a few WD drives drags down its score.
Bottom Line: Seagate's 2-Bay NAS is a middling consumer/SOHO drive with solid read performance, small business-class security features, and an improved interface, but it seems fragile, and write speeds are slow.
Bottom Line: Synology's tiny DiskStation DS414slim is a compelling NAS for home and SOHO users who want to protect their data at a reasonable price. If performance is paramount, however, there are speedier options out there.
Bottom Line: QNAP's TS-251 dual-drive NAS offers excellent read/write performance, solid fault tolerance, and a sweet set of features to serve as a multimedia content storage star—all at an affordable price. | <urn:uuid:3b944658-40cf-467e-a00a-4ec6eafbbd05> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://in.pcmag.com/network-attached-storage-nas-ratings-compa | 2019-05-21T20:41:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256571.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20190521202736-20190521224736-00391.warc.gz | en | 0.921888 | 482 | [

NAPA, Calif. (KGO) -- Some members of a North Bay community are outraged after a man shot a mountain lion that had attacked two sheep. The mountain lion had a tracking device on it after it was captured following a different attack.
Patricia Damery says Dasher was the queen goat of the herd, always looking out for the others. She suspects that's was Dasher was doing the night a mountain lion attacked.

"I'm sure she went after the mountain lion there were scratches on her nose and a bite in her neck," said Damery.
Dasher didn't survive. Damery called Fish and Wildlife and a US Department of Agriculture trapper planned to capture the mountain lion.
"I knew it was going to be a death sentence but I didn't know what else to do," said Damery.
A friend suggested she call Audubon Canyon Ranch instead. Zoologist Dr. Quinton Martins responded.
"They educated me about how to keep my animals safe, how to keep myself safe and my grandchildren," said Damery.
Damery moved the rest of her animals off her land until she could secure their living areas. They also set a different trap for the mountain lion and put a GPS collar on him.
"He was a young dispersing male. He had left his mom recently and was quite lean," said Martins. That meant he'd be looking for prey again.
"We didn't know what he was going to kill," said Martins.
At a nearby Redwood Road property the mountain lion killed two sheep on two consecutive nights. On the third night, the land owners shot and killed it.
"I was very sad for the mountain lion, but I'm also sad by the reaction by our community toward the people because I was almost there myself," said Damery.
"When you feel like your children and your livestock are being so threatened you want to protect them," she continued.
ABC7 News was not able to reach the land owners.
"I think often the land owners don't know better in these cases," said Martins.
Damery says that was true for her.
"The reason that goat was killed was my fault. I had not secured the door," said Damery.
She's hopeful the community will come together to help this family secure their sheep and keep them safe at night rather than shaming them for their actions.

I’m about to choke, mentioning that my baby is almost one.
Whhaaaat!? It honestly has been the fastest year ever. It’s been so different with the third (and final) baby because I have savoured all the delicious moments. Don’t get me wrong, I have enjoyed all my babies, I love babies, but with her there was an appreciation because I knew she’d be my last and I knew it would fly – just not this fast.
My two other children have had the traditional puree and rice cereal start to life. I thought I might do things differently with the new babe and attempt ‘baby led weaning’.
It’s been six months of eating for her and she basically eats whatever we do – including a whole apple, almonds and raw carrot.
She has eight teeth.
I think there are pros and cons to it and for a while I was supplementing with a little puree but not much.
The biggest con by far is the MESS! Holy Moly – don’t attempt it if you are a clean freak. It honestly did my head in – and I’m not a clean freak in the slightest. Other cons are wondering if the baby is getting enough nutrition. For this reason I have continued breast feeding a bit more during the day than I did with my others.
The pros are absolutely the ease of feeding. I make one meal for the five of us. She is independent and can feed herself and I don’t have to sit there spooning food into her mouth. She has gagged a few times and it was scary but I quickly realised that body’s are amazing and she knew what to do.
In the beginning I used these awesome reusable pouches for things like porridge, risotto, soup or if I pureed something. I must admit that if we were having a meal that was a little hard for her to eat I would just whizz it all up in the thermomix to break it up and pop it in a Little Mashie.
So here’s what she ate:
(and please remember I am not a nutritionist or an expert on this stuff in any way. A book that was recommended that I really should have read was this)
- Avocado (first food)
- Pear and apple (steamed at first)
- She began weaning while stone fruits were in season and WOW she devoured them.
- Pumpkin, carrot, broccoli, zucchini, sweet potato, potato, beetroot (steamed or roasted)
- Chicken or Beef meatballs
- Peas and corn and cherry tomatoes
- Porridge with pear puree
- Actual pieces of meat and fish came around 8 months (but she wouldn’t get much in)
- I made these spelt rusks
- Chicken liver pate
- Risotto (we don’t have it very often but when we do she eats it)
- Brown rice cakes with avocado
- Porridge cakes
- Sushi (if we are out and about)
- Spelt pasta with whatever sauce we are eating (we only have pasta about once a month)
- Sourdough bread crusts (leftover from her brother and sister!)
- Sausage’s (gluten and preservative free)
- Sulphur free sultanas and dried apricots.
- Cashews and almonds (from about 11 months)
This is not an exhaustive list. There’s a lot more that she eats. But I wanted to give you a sense of the ordinariness of the food. I must say that avocado has been a godsend. Even if she hasn’t wanted much else, she’ll smash down half an avo in no time. All those healthy fats – the best!
If you think she is less fussy than the others, you’d be wrong. She flings food off her high chair like the best of them…much to my frustration. So I haven’t found that baby-led weaning means a less fussy eater (just my experience).
And being the third child this is not a baby who will be eating cake for the first time at her first birthday party!! Ooops….. She eats my muesli bars, and vanilla cake when they are around. And I’m not super proud of the fact that she’s eaten bliss balls too – raw cacao definitely not recommended for kids under two!
Hope this helps any of you starting off on the journey x | <urn:uuid:50eccae8-bc9a-4765-af13-e87b60d1976a> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://smallstepsliving.com/our-year-of-baby-led-weaning/ | 2019-05-23T01:41:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256997.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20190523003453-20190523025453-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.974152 | 968 | [

With California’s ever expansive reimbursement obligations, employers must now be prepared to reimburse employees for the reasonable expenses stemming from employer mandated work-related calls on an employee’s personal mobile devices.
In Cochran v. Schwan’s Home Service, an employee brought a class action on behalf of 1,500 customer service managers at Schwan’s Home Service, Inc. (“Home Service”) claiming the employees were entitled to reimbursement under Labor Code section 2802 for expenses stemming from work-related calls on their personal cell phones. On August 12, 2014, a California appellate court in Los Angeles held that when an employee must use his or her personal cell phone for work-related calls, he or she is entitled to reimbursement under Labor Code section 2802. Moreover, the fact that the employee is already on an unlimited data plan or a group plan unaffected by the work-related calls is irrelevant. The court reasoned that any other interpretation would allow the employer to receive a windfall by passing on its operating expenses to the employee.
In order to comply with Labor Code section 2802, the court held the employer “must pay some reasonable percentage of the employee’s cell phone bill” when the employer requires the employee to take and make work-related calls on the employee’s personal cell phone. Unfortunately, the court failed to provide any guidance regarding what constitutes a reasonable percentage of the employee’s cell phone bill and under what circumstance an employer requires its employees to use his or her personal cell phone for work.
While the decision is the first on this particular issue, employers should review their employee cell phone use practices in conjunction with their reimbursement policies to determine whether they are in compliance with California law, including Labor Code section 2802. Accordingly, employers should evaluate whether they have created scenarios where employees are required to use their personal cell phones to conduct their job duties, and if so, whether the employer has implemented policies that provide for reimbursement of a reasonable percentage of the employee’s cell phone bill.
Employers may consider different policies to address the issues presented by Cochran, including:
- Revising written policies to prohibit use of personal cell phones for work-related purposes and providing training to supervisors to enforce such policies;
- Establishing a monthly reimbursement policy for employee cell phone calling and/or data plans, as applicable, or consider issuing company-owned cell phones to employees;
- Creating a method to track work-related use of personal cell phones for calls, email, etc.;
Employers may also want to consider whether they have policies that impact the use of other personal devices such as land-line phones, tablets, laptops, etc., as Cochran could have ramifications beyond cell phone usage. In addition, the reasoning of Cochran likely extends to data plans related to email usage and text messaging services on an employee’s personal devices. As such, if employers require employees to read or respond to emails or text messages on their cell phones, the employer should reimburse the employees for a reasonable percentage of the data plans related to email usage and text messaging services.
Employers should contact their labor and employment law counsel with questions related to their compliance with and obligations under Labor Code section 2802. | <urn:uuid:709b5458-3310-4d3b-bfed-993ed5f4bf61> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://delfinomadden.com/employers-how-much-is-that-call-costing-you/ | 2019-05-24T08:25:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.939127 | 664 | [

Email Marketing – Spam Compliance
What is CAN-SPAM?
In this chapter, we will give you the history of what CAN-SPAM is and tell you what you need to do in order to achieve CAN-SPAM compliance.
In 2003, as inboxes were being flooded with unwanted email spam, the United States federal government took action with the passing of the CAN-SPAM law. CAN-SPAM stands for Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003. Essentially, the law set forth a number of requirements that need to be met in order to send commercial email to customers.
Is Your Email Spam Compliance
Once you get past all the government language, CAN-SPAM Compliance isn’t that complicated. If you just follow 7 simple steps, you’ll be completely safe.
Be Who You Say You Are!
You can’t profess to be another site or organization just to get a client to open an email (or to dodge messages going to spam). This is a famous trap which offshore spammers use to overcome spam channels and yes it is illegal.
Don’t Lie in the Subject Line
This one is easy. If your email subject line says that opening the email will give the user a daily quote of the day, then that’s what needs to be in the email. Tell them that your email is an advertisement. You can do this in numerous ways, including mentioning in a little print at the base of the email. Notwithstanding, some place in your email, you have to make it clear that the email is an advertisement.
Tell recipients where you’re Located
This one is also simple. Somewhere in your email you must provide a physical postal address (street or postal box), where you can receive communications via mail.
You Have to Let People Know How to Opt-Out
You cannot (and should not) send a marketing email without letting the users know how to stop you from sending future emails to them. This is called allowing email Opt−Out off your email list. This is typically done at the bottom of the email. The only actual CAN−SPAM Compliance requirement is that it be easy for any ordinary person to recognize and read this information. Also important is the “universal unsubscribe rule”.
Honor Opt-Out Requests Promptly.
When somebody requests an opt-out or unsubscribe from your email list or lists, you have up to 10 business days to remove them. When you send an email, the information or link to unsubscribe from that email must be valid for 30 days.
Monitor what others are doing on your behalf
Also make sure that you know what your affiliates are doing! Make sure that you know what anybody who sends an email on your behalf is doing! You are legally responsible for the actions of anybody you hire or authorize to send a marketing email on your behalf.
There you go… Take after these straightforward seven stages, and you will be CAN-SPAM compliant. Most outsider email stage suppliers will really ensure that any of these criteria that can be robotized, (for example, physical location, unsubscribe interfaces and uprooting unsubscribed individuals) are computerized. Then again, it’s in your best interest to always review your marketing emails before they go out to make sure that they meet every criterion on the checklist! | <urn:uuid:cda55f24-dc80-4767-b33d-186c39215a57> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://infos.center/knowledge-base/email-marketing-spam-compliance/ | 2019-05-24T07:32:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232257553.63/warc/CC-MAIN-20190524064354-20190524090354-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.92909 | 697 | [

Anna Margaret Glenn (née Castor; born February 17, 1920) is an American advocate for people with disabilities and communication disorders as well as the widow of former astronaut and Senator John Glenn.
Glenn in 1965
Anna Margaret Castor
February 17, 1920
Columbus, Ohio, U.S.
|Alma mater||Muskingum University|
(m. 1943; died 2016)
Early life and educationEdit
Anna Margaret Castor was born on February 17, 1920 in Columbus, Ohio to parents Homer and Margaret Castor. Her father was a dentist. In 1923, the Castor family moved to New Concord, Ohio. Castor met John Glenn at a very young age when her parents became involved in the same community organizations as Glenn's parents. The families developed a friendship which allowed Castor and Glenn to remain close as they grew up. The pair became high school sweethearts and continued dating through college. Castor attended Muskingum College where she majored in music with a minor in secretarial skills and physical education. Castor was active member of the swim team, volleyball team, and tennis team. She graduated in 1942. Even though she received an offer for a pipe organ scholarship from the Juilliard school of music, Castor declined the offer, choosing instead to stay in Ohio with Glenn. Castor and Glenn were married on April 6, 1943. During the early years of her marriage to John Glenn, Annie Glenn worked as an organist in various churches and taught trombone lessons.
Influence during the Space RaceEdit
Through the middle of the twentieth century, the Cold War tensions between the United States of America and the Soviet Union heightened. In an effort to boost American citizen's confidence in their government, President Eisenhower decided to become involved in the Space Race and launch Project Mercury. Seven young men were chosen for this space mission. These all-American astronauts were regarded as wholesome heroes and their wives were the picture of domestic patriotism. Annie Glenn was one of the wives of the Mercury 7 astronauts. Glenn and the other six wives formed a tight-knit support group called the Astronaut Wives Club. These women became celebrities overnight and were influential in shaping American identity.
During this time of national anxiety, Americans found security in their values of family, patriotism, and consumerism, all of which were embodied in Glenn. During the 1950s, the desire to have a perfect family life was so ingrained in societal values it seemed to Americans a harmonious family life was necessary for national security. There was a quiet but prevalent understanding that women needed to pursue a peaceful marriage as a way to support the United States during the Cold War. American women turned to Glenn, who had been elevated in the media because of her all-American family, as a role model on how to maintain a happy home. Glenn was also an indirect propagator of the American value of consumption. The appearance of the Astronaut Wives in the media was marketed to average American housewives. For example, when the wives wore a shade of “responsible pink” lipstick to a Life magazine photoshoot, the published photographs showed the wives wearing “patriotic red” lipstick instead. The lip color was changed to represent a new, vibrant period in American history. After the magazine was published, red lipstick became a fad. Similarly, while Mercury 7 astronauts were given sporty corvettes to drive, the wives were strongly encouraged to keep their family-friendly station wagons, which meant that the average American housewives who were following the Astronaut Wives' example also bought station wagons. As a result of Glenn and the other members of the Astronaut Wives Club, women across America were inspired to be brave and of course, to buy the same consumer goods Glenn and the other wives had in their homes.
Like her father, Annie Glenn has experienced a speech stutter throughout her life. As a child, Glenn did not feel hindered by her stutter; she happily participated in activities such as softball, girl scouts, school dances, and choir. It was not until sixth grade that she first realized her speech impairment. It was determined that her stutter was present in eighty-five percent of her verbal utterances. Despite her difficulty speaking, she was able to create and maintain close relationships. After graduating college, Glenn wanted to get a job in a different town but because of her disability, her parents were worried about her living independently. However, Glenn found ways to effectively communicate without speaking out loud. For example, before shopping she would write down exactly what she was looking for and then show the note to the sales clerk when she needed help. At age 53, Glenn discovered and attended a three-week treatment course at Hollins Communications Research Institute in Roanoke, Virginia to help with her dysfluency. After attending the treatment course, her speech was greatly improved, however, she does not consider herself "cured" of stuttering. Glenn was finally able to confidently verbally interact with others. When her husband began campaigning for Senate, she was able to support him by giving speeches at public events and at rallies. Glenn used her newfound voice to bring attention to the disabled that she knew had been overlooked so often.
Awards and honorsEdit
In 1983, Annie Glenn received the first national award of the American Speech and Hearing Association for her meritorious service to those with communicative disorders. In 1987, the National Association for Hearing and Speech Action awarded the first annual Annie Glenn Award for achieving distinction despite a communication disorder. Glenn presented the award to James Earl Jones as its first recipient. She was inducted into the National Stuttering Association Hall of Fame in 2004. In 2015, The Ohio State University renamed 17th Avenue (on its campus) to Annie and John Glenn Avenue.
Glenn is an adjunct professor with Ohio State’s Speech Pathology Department. In 2009, the university awarded her an honorary Doctorate of Public Service to recognize her work on behalf of children and others. The department awards the “Annie Glenn Leadership Award” annually to a person that has displayed innovative and inspirational work in speech/language pathology.
Activities and involvementsEdit
Organizations in which she is involved include:
- Delta Gamma Theta Sorority (Muskingum College)
- The Ohio Board of Child Abuse
- The Board of Columbus (Ohio) Speech and Hearing Center
- The Society of Sponsors
- The Board of Trustees of Muskingum College
- The Advisory Panel of the Central Ohio Speech and Hearing Association
- The Advisory Board for the National Center for Survivors of Childhood Abuse
- The Board for the National First Ladies' Library
- The National Deafness and other Communication Disorders Advisory Council of the National Institutes of Health.
At the time of her husband's death in December 2016, Annie and John Glenn had been married for 73 years and eight months. During the course of their marriage, the couple had two children and two grandchildren. Glenn's children are: John David, born in 1945, and Carolyn Ann, born in 1947.
Portrayals in popular cultureEdit
Glenn was played by Mary Jo Deschanel in the 1983 movie The Right Stuff. The film highlighted her stutter, particularly in a scene involving Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. In the 2015 ABC-TV series The Astronaut Wives Club, Annie is portrayed by Azure Parsons.

Ruins of an Iron age site, in the hills above the plain of Cabul. An 11th-8th C BC Phoenician fortress, regional administrative center, military post and agriculture village. The site may be identified with the Biblical Cabul from the times of King Solomon.
1 Kings 9:11,13: "King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee...And they were called the land of Cabul, unto this day"
Ruins of an Iron age site, in the hills above the plain of Cabul. Excavations reconstructed an Israelite structure from the times of King Solomon, several oil presses, an impressive Phoenician citadel, and an agriculture site that lasted until the 8th C BC.
The findings indicate that the site was a central Phoenician administration center for the region, and may be identified with the Biblical Cabul from the times of King Solomon.
The site is located on the road (#805) that climbs up to Misgav, 1 KM before the junction of Yaad. It is situated on a hill (height 152M) on the north side of the road. You can point on the purple points to navigate to the selected site.
The ancient city was part of tribe of Asher (Joshua 19: 24-27): "And the fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families. And their border was ... And it turned toward the sunrising to Beth-dagon, and reached to Zebulun and to the valley of Iphtahel northward at Beth-emek and Neiel; and it went out to Cabul on the left hand".
King Solomon gives away Cabul
King Solomon imported wood in order to build the first temple in Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 2 1,8,16): "And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD, and an house for his kingdom... And Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying,... Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon... And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem".
Cabul was given by king Solomon to Hiram King of Tyre as exchange for his assistance in building the temple (1 Kings 9:11-13):
"Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar-trees and cypress-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire--that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him: and they pleased him not. And he said: 'What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother?' And they were called the land of Cabul, unto this day".
The implied reason was that King Solomon had to pay for his debts (to pay the cost of the timber, labor and other goods), and he paid with prime real estate (although Hiram was not pleased as per the Biblical text). Actually, this old treaty lasted for 3000 years until Israel was founded, since the area of west Galilee always remained under the Phoenician control.

Drawing by Gustav Dore (French artist, 1832-1883)
Where is Cabul? The Biblical site is not positively identified, and according to some scholars and recent excavations it may be located in Khirbet Rosh-Zayit. The site was partially excavated and several of its structures were beautifully reconstructed, including an impressive Phoenician citadel from the times of the Israeli Kings (11th C BC), with storage rooms and vessels. Additional residential buildings were also dated to the 11th C. These findings indicate that the site was a central administration and military post for the Cabul region. This is an important finding, which backs up the Biblical description of one of the oldest agreements between two nations - Phoenicia and Israel - from more than 3000 years ago.
The fortress was destroyed around the beginning of the 9th C BC, and then it was inhabited by a small agriculture village, which relied on the olive oil production as a source of income. Several oil presses were excavated and indicate that the name of the site (Hebrew for: Head of the Olive tree) was based on the abundance of olive trees and oil production.
This village was destroyed in the 8th C (734-732BC), after the intrusion Tiglath-Pileser III (Kings II 15: 29): "In the days of Pekah king of Israel came Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and took Ijon, and Abel-beth-maacah, and Janoah, and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Gilead, and Galilee, all the land of Naphtali; and he carried them captive to Assyria.".
This intrusion wiped out most of the Galilean sites, as written in the Bible, and it was never inhabited again. It was relocated during the Hellenistic period to another site closer to modern village of Kavul.

A Roman village was established 800 years later on the north-west side of the hill, 500M from Rosh-Zayit. The site is in ruins, and is called Khirbet Beza (in Arabic: Baz'awiya, Baz'ua). After initial excavations, the site was dated to the 1st and 2nd C AD. The first season, managed by Motti Aviam, unearthed an oil press and a private house. The site is well preserved, but requires more digging. One day it could be coupled with Rosh-Zayit to become an archaeological park, as planned by the regional council of Misgav.
The site has been excavated and partially restored by Zvi Gal after several seasons (1983-1992).
It is open to the public and can be accessed by walking up the hill from the main road to Segev.
This photo is an aerial view which was captured by a drone from the west side. The site is located on a hill, and is quite large for an Iron Age site. Only the ruins on its summit were excavated so far, and seen in the center. Road #805, here on the right, loops around its southern foothills.

Another view, from the opposite (eastern) side of Kh. Rosh Zayit, is in the next photo. The modern Arab village of Kabul is seen on the upper left side of the view.
Fly over the site with the following Youtube video, which was captured by a drone:
In the site are traces of ruins of dozens of structures. One of the houses, dated to the 8th C BC, was reconstructed on its western side, as seen below. It included four open spaces - three parallel and the forth perpendicular, which is typical of the Israelite structures at the time of the Kings.
In its central yard was a storage place for olive oil. Around the structure were several oil press installations, each included a crushing basin, weights and collecting place for the extracted oil.
Another view of the reconstructed house is seen below.
Nearby, another reconstructed house was identified as a ritual structure.
A view from the ground level to the entrance:
A closer detail in the entrance to the structure is seen below. Among the findings was a small censer and two fragmentary figurines.
The photo below shows the road that cuts through the site. On the left side is a small forest with traces of ruins of structures. On the right is a steep hill leading to the Phoenician fortress.
The stones on this eastern side are part of its fallen walls, which surrounded and protected it. The fortress was probably a regional administration center, perhaps for the twenty cities that the Bible told that were given to Hiram as part of the land of Cabul. Hiram came to inspect the land that King Solomon gave him, and was disappointed... perhaps he stood up there?
The Phoenician citadel is located on the summit of the steep hill. The aerial photo shows the citadel from its west side:
Some of the walls have been reconstructed during the excavations, as this section on the north-west side.
In the center of the fortress is a two story structure. The rooms on the lower floor contained storage rooms, where jars stored food and water. The excavations unearthed many Phoenician ceramics and iron tools. They dated the destruction of the fortress to the beginning of the 9th C BC.
On the top side of the fortress is a section of the wall which is paved with stones, which looks like part of a defense glacis.
The photo below shows a view from the top of the fortress to the north-east side. The modern settlement of Yaad is seen in the background.
Nearby is a large layer of fragments of ceramics, left over from the excavations. A large number of Phoenician jars, storage vessels and pottery were found in the excavated structures. The team left behind these fragments that could not be assembled together, or were missing the rims which are commonly used for dating the ceramics.
In the north side of the site are traces of more ruins which have not yet been excavated. The excavations covered so far only few of the central structures, and the rest of the 80% of the site is still waiting for future archaeological works.
These structures belonged to the agriculture village that existed after the destruction of the fortress, from the beginning of the 9th C until the end of the 8th C BC.
An aerial view of the eastern side is seen in the following photo.
The next photos is a ground view of the eastern side, with scattered ruins. The settlement of Yaad is on the left background, while Segev/Atzmon on the right background.
An oil press is located in one of the reconstructed houses.
Is this the location Biblical Cabul? This site has an Iron age level and Phoenician structures, so it is very likely that indeed it is the Biblical Cabul The modern village of Kabul, which is located south to the site, preserved the ancient name of Kevul, and therefore there is a high probability that the Biblical site is its vicinity.
There are other possible candidates at the nearby sites which have a Bronze and Iron age level: | <urn:uuid:db00f545-eef3-4b52-b10c-d3140c4fef1f> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://biblewalks.com/Sites/RoshZayit.html | 2019-05-25T11:36:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232258003.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20190525104725-20190525130725-00311.warc.gz | en | 0.975224 | 2,265 | [

DíAngelico NYSS-3b LTD.
Grail of semi-acoustics.
Following the launch of the initial 12
Limited Edition models come a series of just four guitars
finished in Birdseye Maple. Each one has a
different finish to maintain the uniqueness of each
This one is finished
in Natural with Vintage Natural sides and neck.
First seen in
July 2013, the LTD models to date have been finished in
Hawaiian Koa, Bubinga, Silky Oak, Curly Mahogany and
There are usually four variations of each finish,
with the necks and sides finished either in Natural, Vintage
Natural, Trans-black or Trans-blue.
by the legendary luthier Hideshito Shiino, the NYSS-3b is a
small body semi ( just a little bigger than a Les Paul) but
with big sound, superb tone, outstanding character, massive
sustain and excellent quality.
No longer sold in the UK, Europe or the USA, the NYSS-3b is now built in very small numbers for the Japanese market only.
Early in 2013 Vestax commissioned
the Limited Edition model, to be made in a range of exotic hardwoods.
They are stunning!
The tone is brighter than the Spruce top, as would be expected,
but only a little. It
has a crisper top end
than the solid Spruce version
whereas the Bass is perhaps a
little less majestic. The tonal change from Spruce is very subtle but
this guitar feels alive.
This guitar ranks alongside #102 as the nicest NYSS-3b I ever have played.
Like the Bubinga, some guitars just feel right the minute you play them
and this is one of those guitars!
I have owned several Vestax D'Angelicos (acoustic, electric
and semi) and they all have in common the most perfect necks. For me the neck
is really important and I am totally happy with these

Bohemian style vibe in Otto’s nursery
When we design our moKee products, we think tirelessly about how every piece of furniture or blanket will benefit the parents and babies who use them. No matter how many stress tests we do and fabric samples we have though, nothing is more helpful to us than hearing from the mums and dads who make moKee part of their lives.
During a trip to London, moKee founder Sam Serra met with some of the stylish and inspirational parents who have chosen to build their nursery with our designs. From pregnancy worries to nursery style hacks, it became obvious that moKee parents aren’t just great decorators but fantastic parents too.
Sam: How have you designed your nursery?
Emilie: I have put together objects and furniture collected over the years in the UK and abroad. I wanted to create a colourful, playful and exciting room to be in. Everything has been carefully chosen and put together. I also wanted simple yet practical and beautifully made baby items such as the Cot and WoolNest. We didn’t want to spend too much money, so we reused a lot of things we already had.
Sam: What is the best/favourite item in your nursery?
Emilie: I love the felted rug from Bangladesh, bought at a market in Devon. It has beautiful wool felt animals all over.
Sam: What about your baby favourite thing?
Emilie: At the moment, Otto’s favourite things are the stackable wooden blocks. He loves building a tower and wrecking it!
Sam: What is the most useless purchase in the nursery?
Emilie: No such thing!
Sam: The Best thing about being a parent?
Emilie: Learning new things every day about your children, with your children and also learning about yourself and your partner.
Sam: Worst thing?
Emilie: No more lie-ins!
Sam: Any tips or hacks for the perfect nursery?
Emilie: Don’t buy everything before the baby is born, just the essential and add as you go along (as you need things). Look out for things that baby will grow with and will last.
Sam: Do you have any objects in the nursery with a story you would like to share?
Emilie: There is an old wooden music box with a dancing clown. It used to belong to me when I was a child…
Sam: Fast life or slow paced?
Emilie: Slow paced
Sam: Gym class or the great outdoors?
Emilie: Great outdoors
Sam: What you couldn’t live without?
Emilie: My husband! He is a great partner and a brilliant father and books.
Sam: Happiness is…?
Emilie: Otto laughing is instant happiness.
Sam: Motherhood is…?
Sam: Minimalist or Maximum style?
Sam: Antique or brand new?
Emilie: Antique and brand new when necessary.
Sam: Last item you bought for your Nursery?
Emilie: A hand knitted wolf/fox. | <urn:uuid:78dc4ee3-d7aa-4075-9c00-c6254e703953> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://en.mokee.eu/blog/post/boho-nursery.html | 2019-05-26T15:13:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232259316.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20190526145334-20190526171334-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.919992 | 661 | [

It’s the end of November which means it’s Rivalry Week, where a team at the bottom can beat a team on top. Records, strength of schedule, star athletes and veteran coaching staffs can be thrown out the window – you never know what will happen when rivalry teams line up on the field. Personally, I have a hard time even saying ‘Rivalry Week’… but apparently I’m not the only one as you can see below.
Early in the season we all have high hopes for our teams and think, “Maybe THIS will be THE year!” No matter what the team or conference, everyone wants to be in the coveted CFB Playoff Top 4 and rightly so, but let’s be real… it ain’t gonna happen for anyone other than those Top 4 still standing at the end of November. So, at some point, after a couple of losses, your perspective changes. Suddenly, the mindset becomes, “As long as we beat _______ (your rival team), I’m happy.”
Yes, there are a handful of teams that probably never consider that thought because they’re accustomed to being in the upper echelon of ‘playoff land,’ but for the rest of the college football population, that’s where we find ourselves at this point in the season. Beat your rival and go to a decent bowl and it’s all good until next year… or until the next sports season, if you’re like me and follow more than football.
While I follow ALL the games, I’m a State girl so my rivalry-of-choice is Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss – a.k.a. The Egg Bowl. Last year, MSU was poised for an opportunity to be in the Top 4. Going into Rivalry Weekend, we had lost only to Alabama and were ranked #4 in the CFP. Ole Miss had already been knocked out of contention so all they stood to gain was the satisfaction of spoiling the Dawg’s national playoff spot and good ‘ole Mississippi braggin’ rights for a year. After beating State 31-17, the Rebels walked away fully satisfied in achieving all of the above. This weekend, the only thing at stake is a year’s worth of ‘Hail State’ or ‘Hotty Toddy’ pride.
Home field advantage may be the only leverage any of these teams have because it really doesn’t matter what team is the best or what team is the worst…. it’s all up for grabs during Rivalry Week!! | <urn:uuid:15e446e5-2435-411e-9f1c-0e981da0b2d8> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://acoachsdaughter.com/2015/11/27/rivalry_week/ | 2019-05-19T15:14:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254889.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519141556-20190519163556-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.956624 | 553 | [

Destiny Connect Out in Japan, New Details and Screenshots Provided
Nippon Ichi Software’s time-traveling RPG Destiny Connect: Tick-Tock Travelers is out now for PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch in Japan. To go with the game’s release, Nippon Ichi updated the game’s official website with more screenshots and details on the title’s story and gameplay.
Destiny Connect begins in the town of Clocknee at the end of 1999 as it celebrates the new millennium. However, as the new year arrives, time appears to stop, freezing all of the townspeople in place except for Sherry, her friend Pegreo, and scientist Dr. Cheatstein. The scientist theorises that the root cause lies in the past, which causes Sherry to use her father’s time-traveling robot Isaac to head back into the past. However, the task is complicated by other robots that look to prevent Sherry and her allies from achieving their goal.
Destiny Connect’s combat is turn-based with the party facing off against their robotic foes. The human characters in the party can each equip two amps, which boost their attack, defence, recovery, accuracy, or HP. Amps can be purchased from stores, with more powerful amps becoming available as the game progresses, which players can use to either mitigate character weaknesses or boost strengths. Each character also has access to various skills, which can be leveled up using Skill Solvents that are dropped by enemies.
As a robot, Isaac has some different combat options. The biggest of these is the ability to change between forms, of which five have been revealed. His standard Guardian form acts as a tank, protecting allies but being poor at avoiding enemy attacks. His Rescue form makes him look like a firefighter and lets him act as a healer. His Outlaw form, which gives Isaac a Wild West-style appearance, gives him high-accuracy revolvers. His Champion form lets him use powerful attacks and utilise a high evasion, but at the cost of reducing his defensive power. Finally, his Bushido form has low accuracy and low defence, but makes up for it by having easily the strongest attack power of all and including a skill that lets all party members attack twice in a turn. There is also a more balanced sixth form that can be unlocked by acquiring certain items during the game.
In addition to its Japanese release, NIS America recently announced that Destiny Connect is coming to North America and Europe. The game will be released for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in fall 2019, with a Limited Edition available to pre-order from NIS America’s online stores in North America and Europe. | <urn:uuid:deaee2fd-8e9e-4def-b260-9e3ccc2204fa> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://rpgamer.com/2019/03/destiny-connect-out-in-japan-new-details-screenshots-provided/ | 2019-05-19T15:36:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232254889.43/warc/CC-MAIN-20190519141556-20190519163556-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.967014 | 557 | [

Have you ever imagined having a boat that can also drive on land? Well, with Sealegs amphibious rigid inflatable boats (RIB), that is exactly what you get. Sealegs International was born ten years ago and operates out of its factory in Albany, New Zealand. The company started as a dream and now ten years later has grown into the largest amphibious boating manufacturer in the world. As of today, Sealegs has made over one thousand amphibious crafts that can be found in over forty countries around the world.
The founder of the company, Maurice Bryham, created Sealegs to remove the trouble of boat launching and retrieval. He knows the future of the company relies on quality manufacturing and engineering as well as the functionality and reliability of the craft in all extremes. They are purpose built as extremely versatile and reliable to offer the ability to perform tasks in areas once considered inaccessible.
The Sealegs crafts are an aluminum hull with two large inflation tubes on each side. They are equipped with three motorized, retractable, and steerable mini tractor wheels, two at the stern and one at the bow of the craft. Powered by an on-board 24 horsepower Honda driven hydraulic power pack, the craft has remarkable torque for crawling through sand and mud at about 7 miles per hour in either forward or reverse. However, it is only drivable for about 15 minutes without risking the Honda cooled engine to overheat, but, Sealegs offers an upgraded option to increase the speed and continuous drivability.
The crafts can be driven down a boat or the beach and into the water without anyone getting wet. A simple switch will engage the hydraulics to raise the wheels once afloat in the water and will drop them back down when it’s time to crawl back out of the water. Once in the water, the craft is powered by an outboard motor of your choice.
Sealegs come standard with automatic braking system, all-wheel drive, power steering, 25-inch all terrain tires with 12-inch alloy rims, 6 chamber hypalon inflatable tubes, warning horn, anti-slip deck tread, automatic bilge pump, LED lights, and a 12-volt auxiliary socket.
Unfortunately, Sealegs are not road legal as of yet so they are mainly used by coast guards and police departments around the world. However, the company is focused and determined to provide expansion and diversification of their product to hopefully target all buyers in the future. | <urn:uuid:fb31162f-6fad-4846-abdf-0b64b0834eed> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | http://www.waterfrontyachtbrokerage.com/blog/sealegs-amphibious-boats.html | 2019-05-20T21:12:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256147.15/warc/CC-MAIN-20190520202108-20190520224108-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.958968 | 518 | [

Objective Force Mobility - 4-5-30
Army transformation plans call for the ability to deploy a brigade anywhere in the world in 4 days, a division in 5 days, and five divisions within 30 days.
Meeting the 4-day worldwide deployment goal of a brigade-size force would require more airlift than may be possible to allocate to these brigades; at present, it would take from 5 to 14 days, depending on brigade location and destination, and require over one- third of the Air Force's C-17 and C-5 transport aircraft fleet to deploy one Stryker brigade by air. Because airlift alone may not be sufficient, the Army is planning to use a combination of airlift and sealift to deploy the brigades. However, if sealift were used to deploy the Stryker brigades, deployment times to many global regions would be significantly longer than the 4-day goal the Army has set for itself.
Deploying a heavy armored brigade would require airlifting almost 29,000 tons of armored vehicles, equipment, and supplies and about 4,500 personnel. Deploying a Stryker brigade would require airlifting about 15,000 tons of vehicles, equipment, and supplies and about 3,900 personnel. Consequently, the amount of airlift that would be needed to deploy a Stryker brigade would be about one-half of the airlift aircraft needed to deploy a heavy armored brigade. Based on deployment planning assumptions the Army uses, about 243 C-17 strategic airlift sorties would be needed to airlift a Stryker brigade, compared to about 478 C-17 sorties needed to airlift a heavy armored brigade. Deploying an Army light infantry brigade would require airlifting about 7,300 tons of materiel and about 3,800 personnel, requiring about 141 C-17 airlift sorties.
To help achieve the envisioned rapid deployability, the Army is developing logistical support plans and concepts that will permit Stryker brigades to deploy with fewer quantities of supplies and smaller numbers of support personnel and equipment than currently exists in heavier brigade-size units.
The Shallow Draft, High Speed Sealift (SDHSS) capability; the Super Short Take Off/Landing (SSTOL) and Heavy Lift Vertical Take Off/Landing (HLVTOL) replacements for the C-130, capable of delivering mounted forces by air into austere "points" of debarkation anywhere in the battlespace; and the Theater Support Vessel (TSV), are essential to the Army's ability to move rapidly to employ ground forces without being restricted to improved fixed facilities that were a limiting factor to employment of embarked forces in the past.
Vertical maneuver of dismounted forces requires the dedication of organic and joint fires to support and protect, while other ground elements maneuver rapidly to exploit the positional advantage achieved. Vertical maneuver of mounted forces, employing SSTOL or HLVTOL aircraft, puts large areas at risk for the adversary and will often lead to rapid tactical decision, shortening durations of battle, and contributing to the more rapid disintegration of the enemy force.
To conduct maneuver from strategic distances, Future Forces organized in lighter, smaller, but more capable force packages, will exploit all available air and sea lift, both military and commercial, including advanced military lift platforms, such as austere access high speed sealift (AAHSS), super-short-takeoff-and-landing (SSTOL) aircraft, and theater watercraft, such as the joint high speed vessel (JHSV). Fielded in sufficient numbers, these advanced platforms will enable deploying forces to avoid vulnerable ports and airheads and deploy in combat-ready unit configurations to carefully selected positions of advantage in a matter of days, rather than weeks.
Extensive analysis and wargaming has shown that both current as well as many planned strategic and intra-theater air and sealift platforms do not support future warfighting concepts. Many current sealift platforms require deep-water ports to berth and off load. The availability of such ports is limited geographically to industrial nations and they are conspicuously absent in most nations south of the equator. Further, the limited number of these ports lends to many anti-access measures and jeopardizes the deployment of the joint warfighting force.
Advanced sealift capabilities that provide for brownwater and over-the-horizon sealift are critical to support efforts designed to defeat anti-access and area denial methods. High-speed, shallow draft vessels can leverage numerous ports in all areas of the world and supports the concept of multiple, parallel seaports of debarkation (SPOD) which is fundamental in overcoming anti access challenges.
Existing strategic air platforms such as the C-5 Galaxy can carry enormous loads but are dependent on world-class airports for both embarkation and debarkation. The C-17 and C-130 provide the only capability today of bypassing these major choke points from appreciable distances while maximizing load capacities. Even so, they are still constrained to at least a 3,000 foot runway and in many cases (weather, terrain, and environment dependent) may require 5,000 - 6,000 feet with sizeable loads. The C-130 is further hampered by significant payload, altitude, and range limitations and cannot be refueled in air.
These capability limitations not only severely constrain the ability to execute assured access strategies, they demand a nearby intermediate staging base to transload equipment, personnel and sustainment from inter- to intratheater lift platforms. None of the airlift platforms are suitable for air sustainment, nor can they support rapid shift of maneuver forces and sustainment across the breadth and depth of the battlespace.
To overcome the limitations of these legacy systems, larger capacity Super Short Take Off and Landing (SSTOL) and/or Heavy Lift Vertical Take Off and Landing (HLVTOL) platforms are required in substantial quantities for air movement of the Objective Force.
Shallow draft high-speed sealift and advanced, intra-theater sealift designs are required for austere seaport access.
Whether the goals encompass operational maneuver from strategic distances, use of multiple simultaneous austere points of entry, vertical maneuver and envelopment, dominant maneuver, precision engagement and focused logistics, SSTOL and HLVTOL technology solutions are needed sooner rather than later.
These kinds of platforms further provide a quality of versatility and adaptability necessary to enable Army and Joint Force Commanders to adjust movement of forces and sustainment in stride in response to the evolution of the campaign and the enemy's own actions. Funding the S&T and procurement required to bring advanced lift capabilities to the joint force is a joint challenge. The Army alone cannot develop, procure and field such systems due to both budgetary and regulatory constraints. Instead, the Army encourages joint S&T emphasis.

Cherry Hill Denture Solutions - Haddonfield Dental - Tooth Loss Remedy
Long-term tooth and gum disease can contribute to tooth loss that has a significant impact on your appearance, speaking abilities and chewing efficiency. If you have experienced full tooth loss, the denture experts at our Cherry Hill dental office
can help. By creating custom-made dentures to fit your unique dental concerns, you can once again smile confidently.
Our Cherry Hill dentists
can create either complete or partial dentures, depending on the severity of tooth loss you are experiencing. Your dentures can be created as either the conventional or immediate type to suit your oral health needs.
Difference Between Full and Partial Dentures
Your dentist refers to your upper teeth or your lower teeth as an upper or lower arch. Partial dentures
replace more than one missing tooth in an arch while a full denture
replaces the entire set of teeth in an upper and/or lower arch. If you have experienced tooth loss that would be well-suited for a partial denture, seeking fast care is important, as your teeth’s alignment can shift without a partial denture to act as a placeholder for missing teeth.
Difference Between Conventional or Immediate Dentures
Our Cherry Hill denture specialists offer two methods for fabricating dentures:
Immediate dentures are those that are fabricated in advance, prior to any teeth being removed. With this method, you do not have to go without replacement post extraction. Immediate dentures may require resizing once gum tissues have reduced in any swelling during an extraction.
With conventional dentures, extractions (as necessary) are performed and your gum tissue is allowed to heal over the course of eight to twelve weeks. After this time, our dentists can take a mold of your healed gums and jawbone to create a new set of dentures. While your results can vary, conventional dentures tend to be more custom-fit than immediate dentures.
Implants and Denture Treatment
Dental implants can be used in combination with removable dentures to add stability and reduce the overall size of the denture. Implant overdentures can be used as a long term solution to tooth loss, or as a temporary solution, if you plan to have additional implants placed in the future. In some cases, your existing dentures can be retro-fitted to work with newly-placed dental implants. Currently, the use of implants together with an overdenture is the standard of care when you are trying to replace all of the teeth in one arch. Our dental team can help you determine the best solution for you.
"Try-In" Appointments for Dentures
While dentures are made to last for an extended time period, we can easily adjust your dentures to secure a better fit. Our dental team offers several "try-in" appointments where you can try on your new dentures and get any in-house adjustments to improve the fit and feel of your teeth replacements.
As providers of dentures in Cherry Hill
, we can show you how to care for your dentures appropriately and make sure they fit comfortably each day. The customized look and fit of your tooth replacements can re-make your smile and help you speak and eat with ease once again.
If you are wondering if dentures are for you, schedule an appointment

The Nationals tonight will take the field for the 78th time this season, and incredibly this will be the 68th time they do so as a first-place ballclub.
Yes, the Nats have spent only 10 days outside of first place in the NL East, and all 10 of those days were spent in second place, none of them since May 21.
None of this, of course, guarantees anything. There is still more than half of a full season to be played, and anyone who followed this team during its inaugural 2005 campaign knows all too well how different the standings can look on October 1 vs. July 1.
But if the Nationals were to be overtaken in the NL East, which team would be most likely to do it? Who should the Nats most fear in their division?
The answer isn't as clear as most would have expected when this topsy-turvy season began.
The Phillies, the division's five-time reigning champs, have spent all but seven days in either fourth or fifth place and have offered little reason to believe they're going to turn it around. A lineup and rotation of aging stars hasn't been bolstered by the return of Chase Utley, and Ryan Howard's pending return may not make much difference either. At 36-45, they're an astounding 11 games behind the Nationals and talking about selling off free-agent-to-be Cole Hamels before the end of the month.
The Marlins, who made the division's biggest offseason splash with their Winter Meetings spending spree, are an enigma. On rare occasions, they look like as good a team as there is in the NL, with a potent lineup full of stars and a deep starting rotation. But on far more occasions they've looked like a trainwreck, an inconsistent and oft-feuding club probably takes after combustible manager Ozzie Guillen than owner Jeffrey Loria hoped when he made that hire in the first place. At 38-41, they're totally out of the race yet. But they're running out of time.
The Braves, the division's most-consistent organization, always seem to find a way to keep themselves in contention. With Jason Heyward re-emerging as a force, Michael Bourn and Martin Prado enjoying fine seasons and rookie Andrelton Simmons off to an impressive start, this is a lineup that should be able to produce. The pitching staff, though, is less of a sure thing, especially with burgeoning Cy Young candidate Brandon Beachy now out for the remainder of the season with a torn elbow ligament. And a bullpen that overwhelmed opponents in 2011 looks far less imposing these days. At 41-38, they're very much in it for now. But the only way these guys are going to overtake the Nationals is if they can find a way to beat them, having gone 2-6 against Washington so far.
Which leaves ... the Mets, a team that wasn't expecting to do anything of consequence this season yet has become one of baseball's biggest surprises. For that, credit the unorthodox-yet-dynamic 1-2 pitching punch of R.A. Dickey and Johan Santana. One's the sport's lone active knuckleballer. The other came back from major shoulder surgery to throw a no-hitter. Together, they've spelled doom for opposing hitters. Throw in a re-energized David Wright at third base, and fans in Flushing have every reason to buy into this as a legitimate contender. Can the Mets, 3 12 games back at 43-37, keep this ride going straight into September? With each passing day, they look like less and less of a fluke.
And yet, there the Nationals continue to sit, all alone atop the division, owners of the game's best pitching staff and a lineup that is finally coming together with Ryan Zimmerman and Michael Morse healthy and productive.
For three months, they unquestionably have been the class of the NL East. Whether they can hold that distinction through the season's final three months remains to be seen.
But given the state of the rest of the division at the moment, they sure have to like their chances. | <urn:uuid:66653c80-e6b1-476e-b407-f236f765716e> | CC-MAIN-2019-22 | https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/washington-nationals/who-could-upend-nats-east | 2019-05-22T02:01:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2019-22/segments/1558232256600.32/warc/CC-MAIN-20190522002845-20190522024845-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.973152 | 856 | [

The challenge: Open up and update a tiny kitchen, without adding expensive square footage.
The designer: Architect Eric J. Hansen, E.J. Hansen, AIA, www.ejhansen.com, 612-328-0881.
The house: Jane and Steve Aldrich had lived in their cozy, compact 1942-built Cape Cod since 1988. “It’s one of those one-and-a-half story houses in St. Louis Park,” Jane said. The kitchen was galley-style, with limited counter and storage space. The couple had made a few modest improvements. “We added a chair rail and wainscoting — simple DIY stuff,” Jane said. But they still had their 1960s avocado and Harvest Gold appliances, and the kitchen was just too small. “It needed a big change,” Jane said. “We were wishing for a more open floor plan.”
Chance encounter: The couple had committed to a major remodeling. “We were going to be our own architect,” said Jane. But while visiting a home on the Remodelers Showcase, they met Hansen and started chatting about their project. “We instantly liked him,” Jane said. “He was super helpful, and had worked with friends of friends — and done a great job.”
Making the most of a little: Hansen was intrigued by the prospect of helping the couple’s small home live larger. “How do you make a little house not so little?” he said. “People have a tendency to think, ‘We need to add more square footage,’ but you can rework what you’ve got. It’s about respecting what’s there and opening it up to make it feel better.” In the Aldrich home, several factors contributed to the closed-in feeling, he said. The 9-by-10-foot kitchen and 8-by-8-foot dining room were separated by a partial wall, multiple finishes and different ceiling heights, with a 7-foot dropped ceiling in the dining room. “Visually, it was kind of cut up, with all these little spaces,” Hansen said. “It had all different wallpaper. There were too many things going on.”
Same footprint: Hansen reworked the kitchen without expanding it, a process he described as “undoing everything to allow it to feel more open.” The windows and most of the new appliances stayed where the old ones had been. But Hansen removed the partial wall and the dropped ceiling, creating an informal dining space that opens to the kitchen where the separate formal dining room had been. The look is seamless, with knotty alder cabinets, oak flooring and black honed granite countertops. Hansen also designed a knotty alder table for the built-in bench in the dining area. “It’s hard to find trestle tables, and it’s quicker and less expensive to have the cabinet guy make it up,” he said. “It helped tie all the finishes together.”
New entry: The couple also wanted a better front entry. “It was awkward,” Hansen said. “You walked in the front door and fell into the dining room.” Adding a small bump-out and a new front door allowed for a small, 9-by-4-foot entry/transition area for hanging coats — with a blue stone floor to add color and texture, and also stand up to the daily wear and tear generated by the couple’s large dog.
More storage: The new kitchen includes 13 more linear feet of both upper and lower cabinets; Hansen made the most of the slim space by using some 14-inch deep cabinets. “You don’t have to have 2-foot countertops to have a productive workspace,” he said. Adjusting the door opening to better align with the staircase also added space for more cabinets and an L-shaped work area — “which makes a huge difference in a working kitchen for storage of utensils and pots and pans,” he said.
New patio: To complement the new entry, Hansen also reworked the exterior, adding a raised patio. “It’s a place to hang out in the front yard with the neighbors,” he said. “Jane and Steve live at the end of a dead-end cul-de-sac, and we wanted to exploit that.” As a result, outdoor living is more inviting, Jane said. “It’s nice to be out in front, for dinner or happy hour. We used to sit on the tiny front steps or go in the back yard, but now that we have a patio, it’s made entertaining easier.”
The result: The biggest lifestyle change, from Jane’s perspective? “I cook more,” she said. “My husband used to do all the cooking. But I’m more inspired now. The whole front of the house is now one big room. It’s exactly what needed to happen.”
