During the transport and logistical solution meeting with members of the European Commission, the successful flight of the Aeroscraft's demonstration vehicle was discussed, along with the technical innovations of the Aeroscraft, how it provides a more energy efficient method of cargo transport, and the opportunities and benefits arising from future operation of the Aeroscraft within European logistics chains.
The Aeroscraft prototype, Dragon Dream, was successful in establishing its internal variable buoyancy technology - control of static heaviness (COSH) - in January, 2013. The advanced prototype demonstrated integration of this key technology with other innovative sub-systems during flight operations in autumn of this year.
This evidence of technological maturity leads Aeros into fleet development with two configurations of the innovative aircraft this decade - a smaller 66-tonne capacity vehicle, ML866, and a larger 250-tonne capacity vehicle, ML868.
Parties in Brussels were particularly interested in the Aeroscraft's environmentally friendly benefits, burning only a third of the fuel of conventional cargo aircraft.
Also discussed was the Aeroscraft's oversized cargo bay, which has greater dimensions than the largest cargo carrying aircraft on the market today. Furthermore, because the cargo is loaded and off-loaded from the bottom of the aircraft, it is not limited to traditional nose-loading size restrictions.
At the end of the meeting, members agreed to host follow-up assemblies to further explore how the Aeroscraft could be integrated into European logistics supply chains.
Aeros expects the first Aeroscraft to be ready for operation in the next two to three years. |

When preschoolers are sitting on the floor building castles and towers, it’s clear that they’re honing their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. However, their brains are just as busy as their hands; through freewheeling and imaginative play, kids enter a very active learning zone that encourages their curiosity and builds their independence. Here are some amazing learnings that children may gain from LEGO® DUPLO® play – and how to help them get the most out of this precious and fun time.
Cause and effect. Even when they’re building towers and immediately knocking them down with squeals of delight, children are learning about cause and effect. Through trial and error, kids begin to understand how much pressure is required to snap bricks together or pull them apart, and how high they can build before gravity takes over. Posing questions such as “Do you think this stack will stay balanced?” or “What will happen if you put the house on the bumpy spot in the carpet?” can get your little scientist experimenting.
How to be a buddy. What’s more fun than building with DUPLO bricks? Building with friends, of course. And even though preschoolers’ play is more side-by-side than cooperative, such get-togethers can be a steppingstone toward true friendship. To help, spread out enough bricks for everyone (making sure each child gets a more or less equal amount of various shapes and colors). Encourage them to take turns and build with a common goal: “You add a blue brick and then Nathan can add his green brick!” Even if big concepts such as sharing and cooperation don’t happen overnight, this kind of group play lays the groundwork for the give and take of friendship.
How to handle challenges. It happens during most playtimes: Something doesn’t work out the way your child planned. What happens when you don’t have enough yellow bricks to build the giraffe? Or the bridge you just finished cracks in half? Well you may have to start all over again – and that’s okay! Because LEGO DUPLO bricks are so easy to take apart and put back together, they’re ideally suited for encouraging children to challenge themselves and indulge their natural curiosity. Preschoolers learn that perseverance pays off, and you can learn from every outcome, whether you expected it or not. That’s a lesson that will serve them well in school and beyond.
The joy of creativity. During play, children naturally turn to their fertile imaginations. They love to act out stories with toys – whether that’s mimicking grown-up behavior (think playing house or school) or moving into fantastical worlds of fairies and pirates. Because there’s no ‘right’ way to play with DUPLO, preschoolers are free to use their wild and wacky imaginations. They can conjure up the wildest, scariest adventures and still feel safe.
There are dozens of other incredible ways kids learn while playing, so keep your eyes and ears open when there’s a building project going on in your living room. Your child might even teach you something. |
Brett Conlin plays Saturday at Nightshop in downtown Bloomington.
It’s not that Brett Conlin secretly eavesdrops on conversations in his downtown barbershop to mine material for new songs.
"Glad To See You Go" album cover.
“I wouldn’t say it’s entirely my life, but it has been my progression,” said Conlin, now the father of a 6-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl.
“I wrote that song when my son was pretty young, but I had transitioned from being a young carefree person to now working in a warehouse job and trying to make ends meet and go to school at the same time. And write music,” said Conlin.
Dealing with young children is a transition for anyone, especially those as busy as Conlin. As expected, a first child introduced new emotions and perspective to the previously carefree troubadour. “Home On Time” is reflective of that.
When Conlin plays nightshop in downtown Bloomington on Saturday, Oct. 20, he’ll play solo as part of the songwriter series with Naperville native and Illinois State University student Grant Milliren. But Conlin also fronts the two-piece punk outfit Dead End Lights.
It’s obvious from hearing "Daggers" from the band's initial three-song “Demo” EP that Boston’s Dropkick Murphys was on his radar.
Classic rock was also omnipresent while growing up. He remembers hearing a lot of his stepfather’s Steely Dan records and other classic rock and country at his father’s house. That’s where one particular song made an indelible impression.
“I was sitting in my dad’s car one day. And not that this song is heavy, but I heard 'Dream On' by Aerosmith and I was like, 'Yeah, that rocks, that’s cool. Whatever that is, I want to know more about that,’” said Conlin.
Covering any Springsteen song is audacious, especially one of his most well-known songs. But Conlin pulled it off.

Matt Garrison says bandmates in Bloomington-Normal cajoled him out of a seven-year music hiatus that began with the birth of his son nine years ago. |
Dieting with an extreme calorie deficit for a prolonged period of time is like playing with fire. Your body is incredibly adaptive and efficient; the longer you maintain the deficit, the better your body gets at using fewer calories to function.
Suppose your maintenance caloric expenditure is about 2000 calories per day, and you cut that in half to lose weight, plus throw in trips to the gym. Initially you will lose weight, but your body will figure out how to function with fewer calories. After a few months your weight loss will stall, so you cut more calories. Your body adjusts again. Get the picture? Eventually you will be in a position where you still have weight to lose, you are eating 600 calories a day and working out like a crazy person – and you’re not losing weight.
Inevitably you get frustrated, quit your diet and go back to your 2000 calories a day. The problem is, your body now functions off of 1000 calories a day and in the interim of getting used to the normal intake of 2000 calories it will store the excess, a whopping 1000 calories a day. Welcome to metabolic damage and the danger of extreme dieting.
How do you avoid this? Maintain a REASONABLE calorie deficit, a few hundred calories a day. Take regular dieting breaks and eat at maintenance calorie level occasionally. Build lean body mass, the more muscle you have, the more calories your body needs to function, increasing your maintenance calorie levels and making it easier to get lean without huge restrictions.
Don’t beat yourself up over a short term gain, you could end up doing a world of damage and eventually weigh more than you did when you started. |
Yesterday was windy but mild.
I walked the Greenway park along the Meramec River from Old Town Fenton. The park has a number of huge Sycamore trees, very old, very majestic. Many are between 4 and 6 feet thick in the trunks, 15 feet or so in circumference.
This area was very deep under water during the New Year's Flood. Here and there, I could see dramatic evidence of the recent flood.
The camera I was carrying is older style, an Olympus digital Camedia C-750.
The 40x zoom range is awesome.
Lens is sharp as a pin.
Color balance at times is a little strange, not easy to balance out. With some images there was an excess in part of the blue spectrum.
Other than that, the camera is an easy carry and intuitive in its usage.
#129 is beautiful with the start of spring blooming, the other trees will catch up.
water marks (and debris) on the bridge. You and the camera did very well.
super nice shots, How be ya? Happy Easter. |

Self importance = the ego= ignorance. Self importance can be seen within the ego’s most fundamental attitude towards life and death. Is the ego offended by death? Is it angry about death? You bet it is! Lol. DJ’s teachings are deep and we can follow them to get free of the grip of the ego, I mean . . . self importance.
Castaneda has a way of turning our everyday weaknesses into sage wisdom.
Yes, he does. It’s a bit of a polite comeuppance.
Yes! I need to keep this in mind.
Seems like there’s a lot of that going around these days. Skin is so thin as to be transparent!!
Thanks for checking in, Jane. CC has some interesting things to say. |

The following article will give you tips on how to maintain a great email campaign through information that is interesting.

You can use affiliate marketing to generate extra revenue for your online business. You need to have a good base of knowledge in order to be successful at affiliate marketing. This article discusses tips that other affiliates have found useful for their businesses.
Be sure that you and your affiliate partners are not taking advantage of the process. This accomplishes very little, and many online users view it as an annoyance. In the worst examples, this can spread viruses to customers.
Figure out how a company tracks the orders that weren’t done on their website when choosing a program in affiliate marketing. If you are responsible for one of their sales and you do not link them to you, it can cost you money.

This day and age everyone wants a successful online business, and why not? You can make your living online if you know how to get started. Here are three essential elements of a successful online business to help you get started.
If you are contemplating starting an online business, you are joining one of the fastest growing communities in the history of commerce. Before you jump in you may want to give a little thought to what you need for your business to become successful. Some folks think that all they need is a product and a web site or store front and the world will stampede through their doors. In real life and even in e-life that is not the most likely scenario—in fact I can guarantee it won’t happen that way. To succeed with an online business you need to have a few basics down pat—no exceptions.
The first thing that you must have to be successful is a plan. This must be a well thought out business plan not just a vague idea in the back of your head. You may have to pay someone to help you with this, but even so, it’s worth it. A business plan will look at what you have and what you propose to do with it. It will outline your money, inventory, sales goals, profits, losses, distribution, advertising, marketing, competition and even your possible expansion. Consider it the blueprint of your business. A well thought out business plan will combine your purpose, mission, goals and ideas into a comprehensive step by step guide that you can follow. If there are potential pitfalls or downsides to your plan they will be evident before you plunge into the deep end and lose your shirt.
Promotion is a key element and without good promotion your business is never going to fly. You may have one of the best ideas and products to be found online but if people are not going to find out about it it may well be a lost cause. You will have to be a marketing and advertising genius or invest a little to get some professional help. Remember that if you cut too many corners to save a little money you are going to pay dearly in the long run. When you hire someone try for the best assistance you can afford.
Customer service adds a lot to an online business. You need to treat your customers well because without them your business life is finished. You need to attract and build a supportive and loyal base of great customers with whom you interact. You can keep them on mailing lists and send them updates on a frequent schedule, offer them specials and bonuses.

You should begin your blog with a free blog hosting service such as wordpress. A free blog host is very rewarding for a new blog. Starting with a free blog hosting service allows you to begin blogging instantly without having any advance knowledge of scripts, hosting, or programming. It allows you to build an audience and buzz for your blog. It allows you to focus on your content and not the internal maintenance of the blog. The best benefit of starting with a free service, is in the case your blog doesn’t become successful you do not lose any money or are you left holding the bill. The great thing about a blog is that they are organized in chronological order, your latest entry is displayed first. When your blog traffic grows greatly and you are ready to upgrade to your own domain then you can simply make your last blog entry the announcement of your “move”. Simply add a last entry stating that your blog has “moved” and type the new blog URL address. Which directs visitors to your new blog site, keeping your following, without a major inconvenience to anyone. Upgrade as you need to…but only when you need to!
It’s no secret. You must have traffic to profit from blogs. There are numerous ways to build traffic. Paid advertising, free advertising, viral marketing, search engine marketing, RSS/XML feeds, and word-of-mouth. You should always use your blog URL address in the signature of your email, forum discussions, message boards, or any other communication media. You should submit your blog URL address to search engines and blog directories. You should submit your RSS/XML URL feed to blog ping services like Technorati, Ping-O-Matic, and Blogdigger. You should confidently share your blog with family, friends, co-workers, associates, and business professionals when it relates. Many blogs can be considered as a collection of articles, for this purpose you should submit your blog entries (those that are valuable and lengthy articles) to content syndicators like GoArticles.com. Once submitted your articles can be picked up and published by others. The trick is to make sure you include your Blog URL address in the “About the Author” passage. What this does is create link popularity and backlinks for your blog, when someone picks up your article from the syndication then publish the article on their website the “About the Author” passage is included with each publication and the link you included is followed, crawled, and indexed by search engines. Imagine if your article is popular enough or controversial enough to produce 10,000 publications across the web. The search engines is bound to find your blog in no time with that many publications and credit you a authority on the topic, in return increasing your rank on search engines. The small effort of writing a well written article is rewarding. You should try to write at least 1 full length article every week for syndication and submit your article to at least 10 article syndicators.
Use multiple blogging accounts (free) to attract more people. This means you should have a blog with WORDPRESS, WEEBLY and others. The more blog accounts the better (be sure to read and adhere to the Terms of Service for each site). You can copy/paste from 1 blog to all others. Having different blog accounts is like having a publication in different newspapers. This enables you to attract more visitors and this also increases the chance that 1 of your blogs will be in the search engine results for your focused keywords.
Once your blog has gained some real momentum and your blog traffic is increasing then it is time to start thinking about turning your traffic into profit. You should use contextual advertising, like Google Adsense or Chitika. Contextual advertising is usually text links which use the content of your blog to publish targeted ads on your blog. The payout is usually based on a pay-per-click model, meaning for ever click an ad receives you are paid a small percentage of the profits. In addition to contextual advertising it is good to also use graphical advertising such as: BlogAds.com, Amazon.com, or General Sponsored Advertising.

The world doesn’t really need another ‘vanity blog’ about what you had for breakfast. Unless you are a super-model good looking teenage girl who wants to put a lot of photos on your blog, then you are probably going to have a hard time getting noticed. If you already have a vanity blog and are wondering why you are not getting traffic, then you need to know that the vanity blog market is totally saturated. Consider starting or changing your blog to some other topic – an interest or a hobby for example.
Next, you need to start posting to forums.
Put the URL of the blog in your forum signature (don’t spam forums saying “look at my blog”). If you just join in the conversation naturally, then people will get curious and you will get a few more readers. If the forum you post in is also to do with a similar topic to your blog then you will probably get repeat readers from it! Try to find the most popular forums in the niche you are writing about. To find them, just go over to Google and search for your niche keyword plus ‘forum’ and you should get a list. Try to find forums with at least a few thousand active members.
That you have linked to so that they know about you. When people find out that you have talked about them, they will come to see what you said. So will some of their readers. Talking about popular stories from popular blogs may get you more than just a few visitors too.
As much as you can (without spamming). In most cases you can put a link back to your own blog and people do follow these links. It is also good to target blogs that talk about the same subject as you, because then you will get targeted readers who are more likely to continue reading your blog. (Avoid using “comment spam” programs as Google can track this and will penalize you).
Nobody will return to a blog that is updated weekly or only occasionally. You need to add more content at least once per day, especially in the early stages of getting your blog noticed. This is hugely important.
Get fit end up in above image why not check it out!
Now if you follow these few rules, then you should be well on the way to getting a constant readership for your blog.

27 March 2017: The CFD & FX Forum, whose member Firms represent the majority of trading volumes, has strongly welcomed today’s parliamentary passage of a Government bill that introduces significant protection and reform for client monies in the contracts for difference (CFD) and foreign exchange (FX) sectors.
Schedule 5 of the Treasury Laws Amendment (2016 Measures No. 1) Bill 2016 amends the Corporations Act to provide greater protection for retail client money and property held by financial services licensees in relation to over-the-counter derivative products such as CFD and FX contracts. These amendments align the Australian client money regime with community expectations regarding the level of protection that should be afforded to retail consumers of complex financial products and services.
Schedule 5 also allows for ASIC to have greater oversight of the sector. ASIC may, by legislative instrument, make rules for purposes relating to derivative retail client money. These rules may impose requirements to report information and reconciliation requirements.
“This is a win for investors, for regulators and for the industry,” said CFD & FX Forum Director and Chairman Paul Casey of CMC Markets. “Previous client money rules were misaligned with standards in other parts of the world, and ultimately unsustainable by exposing investor funds to misuse, fraud or insolvency. That’s why the CFD & FX Forum has worked hard to promote segregation of client money as our key benchmark for members and influence change where we can.
“The current Government should be commended in achieving this necessary reform, which with the right checks and balances in place, are sure to enhance the integrity of our financial system. The CFD & FX Forum looks forward to working closely with industry and ASIC in this regard,” Paul Casey said.
Fellow Forum Director, IG Australia’s Tamas Szabo, predicted the new regulatory regime would significantly boost confidence and trading volumes in the sector.
“Forum member firms long ago voluntarily adopted the measures and protection now enshrined in legislation for all providers. This legislation brings the Australian regime into line with global standards and removes the current regulatory arbitrage, which led to firms with questionable practices setting up in Australia,” Tamas Szabo added. |

Agra has religious significance and matured when Mughals invaded it. It is not only famous for food, Mughal art, but also for local food delicacies.
Fatehpur Sikri is located 35 km away from Agra and was constructed by Mughal emperor Akbar to build a capital for his big empire. It remained capital of Mughal Empire from 1571 to 1585. It is made up of red Sikri sandstone and has buildings displaying Hindu and Islamic architectural style.
The land of salvation - Varanasi is also known by many other names such as Banaras and Kashi. Being one of the holiest cities of India, it attracts devotees from different parts of the world every year. It is believed that Lord Shiva founded this place 5000 years ago and located on the banks of Ganges River. |
Baltimore, Maryland | Coffee fuels my photography!
Baltimore, Maryland was one of our ports of call on our 2012 East North America Cruise. Sailing into the port under grey skies made for quite the dramatic entrance as we meandered slowly up the narrow river, passing many a vessel coming in the opposite direction having already completed their business.
For reasons unknown to even me, I get such a thrill going under a bridge whilst on a cruise ship. I know, very weird but I just think it is so exciting!
By the time we docked in Baltimore the sun was shining upon the city, making for a beautiful day to tour the neighboring areas.
Hey, it was the day before the 2012 American Elections and Obama was standing for a second term. There was NO WAY we could NOT be so close to Washington DC and not visit. We’ll explore Baltimore next time! |
Our Comprehensive Practice Protection Assessment was designed for advisors and business owners who understand the various risks across their practice and are seeking input and support to mitigate these risks. We complete an assessment focusing on the legal, regulatory and franchise risks associated with operating a practice – including a review of staff roles, existing contracts and practice agreements and succession plans. We will identify strengths, areas for improvement and provide a written summary and consultation including next steps to take to protect the value/equity of your practice.
Whether you are a solo practitioner with staff or part of a complex team, the equity in your practice is one of the most significant assets in your financial plan. In addition to the regulatory risk inherent in your client practice, there are also regulatory, legal and Franchise risk you face as a business owner that can negatively impact your equity. This process assesses your level of risk in these areas and company policies in place at your firm.
Our practice protection process starts with an overview of your existing practice structure, business and growth plans. Our expert will then conduct a detailed review of all practice documentation including team and operating agreements, staff documentation and agreements, succession planning and buy-sell agreements. If applicable, a review of legal entity documentation and operations will also be reviewed.
•Are roles clearly defined including permissible sales activity by role (PP/AFA/Advisor)?
•If advisor transitioned in as an AFA, was full disclosure provided on equity, control of client?
•Were clients set up in accordance with agreement (Primary, Servicing, etc.)?
•Are dissolution terms clear and are they balanced?
•Are there non-compete agreements with asset attrition clauses?
•Have regulatory roles and expectations been effectively communicated?
•Are there non-compete provisions in all staff member agreements – whether registered or unregistered?
•Are the non-competes time-bound and enforceable?
•Are performance expectations clear, and have reviews been conducted and documented?
•In complex team arrangements, are terms for client control, practice equity and capital equity clear and enforceable?
•Is there a written compensation agreement?
•Does it comply with regulatory requirements and company policies?
•Is it aligned with job description and job expectations?
•Does it comply with minimum wage requirements?
•Do job responsibilities and compensation align with classification requirements?
•Are there documented bonus provisions that can be tracked and verified?
The written assessment will include strengths and opportunities as well as suggestions for improvement. Our consultant will answer any questions you have during a phone consultation to review your findings.
Advisors will be given specific recommendations to address vulnerabilities in their practice.
Each Comprehensive Practice Protection Assessment includes a 60-minute consultation to discuss the outcome of the assessment and specific, actionable recommendations to bring your practice into compliance. Following the assessment, an advisor should be able to make clear decisions and take action to solidify his/her practice. If the advisor requires help with specific aspects of their business, recommendations will be made for next-steps along with quotes for any relevant work.

Most homeowners forget about the sump pump in the corner of their basement; working hard day and night. When groundwater around the home is high, this pump will move the water away from the home. This is only successful when the pump is working! When the sump pump is not working, water that has accumulated after a rainfall will be stagnant under the floor of the basement or crawlspace. With excess water accumulation, and a sump that won’t pump, you’re asking for a flood.
First and foremost, call a water restoration professional, like Maxwell Building Services if you ever have standing water in your home. The secondary damage from humidity can destroy your home within days.
A flooded basement from a sump pump failure can be prevented. Here are my top tips for keeping your basement free of water.
Backup battery pack for the sump pump. If your power goes out, your sump pump plugged into the wall will stop working. That’s where the battery comes in. These batteries will typically pump for roughly 50 hours.
Back up or stand by sump pump. There is nothing wrong with having a backup sump pump, ready to go if your current one fails.
Make sure that your pump is the right size and can handle your home’s water table. The most common is ⅓ HP, and bigger is not always better.
Maintenance and seasonal inspections (not a typo) I can not stress the maintenance and inspections enough. A sump pump cost roughly $100 and it is your homes defense against water. It is a simple motor and will eventually fail. |
The series also aims to provide support for additional drivers. “We realize that competition in Spec MX-5 Challenge is very tough: our top 3 championship finishers last year were separated by 0.1 seconds at the finish of the deciding race,” observed Tom Martin, series co-director. “Drivers have repeatedly told us how much they have learned during the Spec MX-5 Challenge season. So, we have added prize money for P2 and P3 to assist those drivers in coming back to Spec MX-5 Challenge in 2020 to continue up the curve and take another shot at the overall championship,” said Martin.
The Spec MX-5 Challenge Series is open to more drivers than ever in 2019. In addition to the previous full arrive & drive offering — which includes use of a series-owned car — the series now offers the option for drivers to own their own cars and to provide their own services. A complete rundown on Spec MX-5 Challenge packages is available at SpecMX-5.com.
Individual race entry is being encouraged in 2019 as well. “We want as many drivers as possible to get a taste of Spec MX-5 competition, so we are providing slots for drivers who own T4-class NC MX-5s to run with us, likely when we come to a convenient track,” said Lamb. “We have special pricing for the single-event entrants, and Mazda is providing race-by-race contingency funds to provide additional encouragement,” he noted.
The Spec MX-5 Challenge Series is an entry-level professional sports car racing option with over $100,000 in prizes. The series runs specially-prepared Mazda MX-5 race cars at pro tracks like Circuit of The Americas, Sonoma Raceway, VIRginia International Raceway, Road America, Watkins Glen, and Road Atlanta. The series offers challenging competition, expert driver coaching and multiple sponsorship opportunities for aspiring professional drivers. |
In November 2014 I began a two month residency in northern Iceland where I became interested in the countries unique topographic features. Its low mountains and fascinating geological specimens inspired this sci-fi photo book that is meant to playfully illustrate a fictional story about a lunar phenomenon taking place in a sleepy little town. As a medium that boasts power and authority, photography remains a complex tool that inherently elicits the truth while simultaneously hinting at the possibility of fiction. These images, constructed using rocks found from the surrounding landscape, are playfully rearranged and photographed within the context of a scientifically ambiguous narrative.
Like images mined from forgotten archives, the photographs borrow reoccurring elements from space and forensic photography. Collectively, the work creates a mosaic that re-presents situations from a research project performed in a remote town. Weaving together photographs of possible lunar samples, scientific machinery and cosmic landscapes, the book forms an eclectic visual journal of a man and his relationship with the cosmos.
Containing 70 unique images across 99 pages, it also includes a fictional short story written specifically in dialogue with the images by Australian playwright Emma Gibson . |
For Tomac fans, this was tough to watch. And ever since his shoulder injury at the Thunder Valley MX in 2015, we’ve been waiting patiently for a comeback. This race led into a conversation I had this morning with UC Berkeley alumnus and lactate metabolism expert, Dr. Jack Azevedo of California State University Chico. We speak regularly about many things, motocross training being one of them. To give credit where credit is due, I became really interested in motocross because of him. Racing is part of his lineage, plus, he uses motocross training as a teaching point within his lectures on fuel metabolism and muscle physiology.
Did they get it right? Well, partially.
Bottom-line: I am somewhat disappointed. I would have thought John Tomac to have a better understanding of exercise physiology and training, considering his professional accolades in mountain biking.
“Professional athlete” does not translate to “physiology expert.” And this is OK.
This statement is in no way attempting to discredit the Tomacs’ (or any professional athlete’s) knowledge of bicycle and motorcycle racing. Clearly they are doing something right – very right. However, the science presented in these video MUST be corrected.
FACT: Muscles will not “lock up” when lactate is produced, as John states in the video.
“Lactate efflux from muscles is related to exercise intensity, NOT anaerobiosis,” states Azevedo. Studies show a clear dissociation between blood lactate accumulation and intracelluar partial pressure of oxygen (PO2). In the figure below, you can see as PO2 drops, lactate efflux from muscle tissue does not change. Only when VO2 reaches ~65% of maximum does lactate release into the blood begin to increase, however, PO2 remains constant.
Richardson et al. JAP 85: 627-634; 1998.
When glycogen (the stored form of glucose) is broken down, it is done so without the need for oxygen. Furthermore, when glycogen is the initial source of carbohydrate during high-intensity exercise, lactate is the final product. It can enter the bloodstream and be “shuttled” to and be taken up where it is needed – working skeletal muscle, the heart and the brain. It serves as a fuel source.
In fact, when blood lactate levels increase, it is preferred over glucose and fatty acids. A study completed in 2002 by Dr. Benjamin Miller of the University of California, Berkeley, concluded the following: when lactate is infused into the blood in high concentrations, it was found that working muscles take up lactate preferentially to glucose. To further support these results, check out this study on carbohydrate sports drinks and performance, conducted by Azevedo and his team at CSU Chico. They found significant increases in performance when a drink containing a lactate-polymer is used vs. a drink without lactate.
More than 90% of lactate is oxidized as fuel. In addition, as metabolic rate increases, so does the rate of lactate oxidation, according to research conducted by Dr. Robert Mazzeo, University of Colorado, Boulder, in 1986! Furthermore, the liver is able to convert lactate into glucose. During recovery, lactate is used to replenish depleted glycogen stores (this is called the Cori Cycle).
Lactate escorts hydrogen ions out of working muscle tissue. Accumulation of hydrogen ions will impair performance and is also responsible for that notable, misidentified, acute burn in working muscle tissue.
FACT: Training will increase the amount of glycogen that can be stored in skeletal muscle and the liver. In return, more lactate is released during exercise, and and more can be oxidized used in the ways mentioned above. Furthermore, the rate at which is lactate is oxidized also increases, so blood levels of lactate will decrease more quickly.
FACT: Mountain biking worked for John… because he was a mountain biker. This is NOT stating that development of endurance and power through cycling isn’t vital to obtaining the necessary fitness to perform on a motorcycle. This is stating that incorporating 3,000 ft climbs into a regular training plan will make Eli a great climber – a fit cyclist. Specificity of training is key. If you want to run well, you need to run. If you want to ride well, you need to ride. A good motocross training plan has many variables within it, but clarification of these principles are still important.
FACT: Arm pump is not caused by “lactic acid” build up – this is erroneously shown by the episode discussing the syndrome. As explained earlier, lactate metabolism is still haunted by its misunderstood past. Discard the term “lactic acid” if it is something you are still hanging on to. Now, what type of explanation are you left with?
If the forearm musculature is not conditioned to sustain the physiological demands placed on it during performance, it will ultimately suffer. Sustained isometric contraction of the forearm muscles not only leads to fatigue, but it also prevents blood flow in and out of the forearm compartment.
Anatomy of the forearm musculature.
Ultimately, science is for the experts. Coaches need to be educated by the scientists. Athletes need to perform, educated by coaches with an updated and accurate foundation of physiological functionality. It’s a win for everyone.

Agriculture plays the most significant role in Afghanistan’s food security and economy development. Almost 60% of Afghan workforce relies on agriculture in order to ensure their sustainability. This sector guarantees 40% of Afghanistan’s gross domestic product. However, in reality, formers only own 13% of lands and cultivating 22% of crop land.
No policy baggage, no access to functioning markets, and large institutional and capacity deficit impedes agricultural and agro- industrial development.
Our experts and professionals are fully familiar with Afghanistan’s Agricultural and agro-industrial sectors. |
My name is Beryl Cox and I was born in the City of London Maternity Hospital which is within the sound of Bow Bells. I lived in Canning Town and Plaistow for my first thirty years. In those days it was not very easy to find accommodation as such a lot of houses were in ruins due to the war; but my husbands parents had been bombed out and the Council had taken over - requisitioned - a house in Barking Road, which, it is not hard to guess, was and is the road from Plaistow to Barking.
The house number was 415 and Bill and I lived in the top three rooms, plus a lovely large attic with a window through which it was very interesting to peer into the West Ham Central Mission's Queen's Gardens, where Queen Elizabeth (the Queen Mother) visited and watched the young people who attended the church parade around the perimeter of the lawn. During this time, his Mum and Dad, and Bill and I clubbed together to buy a little weekend bungalow in Langdon Hills.
We used to take the 697 trolley bus to Plaistow Station and a steam train to Laindon, and walk the narrow winding pathway for about 30 minutes to Kenrose in Western Avenue. We had a case with nappies for the baby, and things for the other two little boys, and food enough until Sunday afternoon. It was very pleasant walking among the little houses in their own ground, where the gardens were tended carefully, having beautiful flowers. Not that gardens were not looked after where we lived, but they were small gardens, mostly at the backs of houses, and which we could not see, with front doors and bay windows bordering on the street.
In our small 'shack' there was no running water; there was a tank outside to catch rainwater. The toilet (earth closet) was in a wooden shed about 3' x 3'. I cannot recall in those days being over fastidious about handwashing, but this evidently did not disturb our peace of mind, or cause any trouble. There was no washing machine, of course or television. In fact I don't think we had a radio. We have some very nostalgic photos of the children playing in the grass, and my mum and Bill's mum sitting in deckchairs in the garden. I doubt if there were many deckchairs in the gardens where we lived.
It was very peaceful, the only noise coming occasionally from the gramophone of the family in the next plot playing appropriate old tunes and songs. They came down for the weekend and had a wind-up gramophone. I think officially we weren't allowed to sleep in these shacks, but most people did, and also had a tent where necessary. And, of course, we could take a week's holiday there. It was a long way to walk back to the Laindon High Road for shopping if we were there for more than a weekend but somehow I managed with the baby in a little pushchair which we called the 'taxi'. This had two wheels and no brake. I also recall buying some bread from a little shop I discovered at the top of nearby First Avenue. My husband was marvelous. Having no sight and as yet no guide dog, he kept on the narrow path to and from the station, but there were no mishaps.
Then my husband had to take a job out of the area. In those days he was a switchboard operator, and we had to move to the new Heartsease Estate in Norwich. Several moves later we found ourselves back in Avondale Road, Vange, and then Vowler Road, Langdon Hills. It is appropriate to mention here the name of our house when we lived in Vowler Road. It was 'Ataahua'. Yes, just like a Sneeze! No matter how carefully I wrote our house-name on correspondence, many people just could not believe in such an unlikely name. Its spelling caused quite a few problems. I did count the variations one day, there must have been about thirty, the most amusing being Alleluja. Shortly before we moved out the house was given a number, No. 39, along with everyone else in the road but I do not know if the occupant still uses its unusual appellation, or if it is less trouble just to use the number. The suggestion was made to me that Ataahua was an old Maori word; perhaps someone could enlighten us.
Our sons were very adaptable; and one year found themselves having to go to three different schools, one boy when he was only five. It was adventure to them, perhaps and they all did well at all their schools. I remember well the concert at Pitsea Junior, during which 'Johnny Todd' was played on the recorders and sung. This was so popular that an encore was demanded with much clapping.
The headmaster of one school to which the boys had to go, misjudged the ability of one of them and put him in a lower standard. Fortunately, in the exams. he attained 20 more marks above the next pupil and subsequently attained a place at Fryerns Grammar School.
We eventually moved in 1969 to a nice corporation house in Yardeley, Lee Chapel North, where it was near enough for me to walk to the market, with my daughter in a large pram on which I could carry several shopping bags. On two occasions in this busy market I was able to rescue a small child in distress, having lost her mum. |
What Does Peter Mean By Jesus Preaching to the Spirits in Prison?
This is among the most difficult verses in the New Testament to understand and preach. The following is shared primarily for the sake of other pastors researching this fascinating verse and wrestling with the challenge of understanding how v.19 fits into the verses before and after.
There is a different between teaching and preaching. A sermon must involve teaching the text without getting bogged down by exegetical details. Expository sermons must lead to the heart, not only to the mind. Therefore, passages like 1 Peter 3:19 should not be avoided (lest we unintentionally teach the congregation to be scared of hard Bible passages), but we must not allow them to completely derail the sermon.
1. When Jesus died his spirit went to the souls of men and women who died in the generation of Noah (referred to in v.20) and preached to them. Other variants of this view allow that he more generally preached to the souls of the dead and not only to Noah’s generation.
2. Jesus preached to those who were “spiritually imprisoned” through Noah. The difference between this view and the first has to do with time. In the first view, Jesus preached to the souls of those who died. In this view, Jesus preached to them prior to the flood. The two schools of thought here can either mean that the Holy Spirit preached through Noah, or the pre-incarnate Christ preached to that generation in some way.
3. The spirits in prison are not spirits but angels. These may be demonic spirits since they are in prison or angels of the “guardian angel” variety who oversee humanity. It is not immediately obvious exactly who these spirits are, or what Jesus preached to them.
Exegesis is the process of digging into the biblical text and drawing the meaning out of the text, rather than coming to the text and reading your preferred interpretation into the passage.
There are three crucial exegetical details in this one short verse that provide great insight into the meaning of the verse. We’ll look at them in order of how they appear in v.19.
1. “Preached” not “Evangelized.” There are different Greek words for “preach” and “preach the gospel.” The first word is what is used in 1 Peter 3:19. If Jesus was preaching the gospel and providing these spirits an opportunity to believe and repent and be saved, Peter would have used evangelize (as he did in many other places throughout 1 Peter and 2 Peter). Therefore, it seems most reasonable to conclude that the content of this preaching was not an invitation to be saved, but some form of instruction or announcement.
2. “Spirit” does not mean “soul.” There is no place in the New Testament where the word “spirit” refers to a human soul. I did not personally double check ever single instance throughout the NT, but I’m relying on the many commentaries which point this detail out. If spirit does not mean human soul, then it must refer to either angelic or demonic spirits.
I prefer not to mix too much interpretation into the translation, so allow me to flesh this out below.
There remain outstanding questions, primarily regarding the disobedience mentioned in v.20. I wish I had time to study the accuracy placing a period at the end of v.19, thus rendering the “Because they formerly did not obey” as the grounds for Noah’s generation being judged through the flood rather than serving as the grounds for the spirits being imprisoned. This exegetical issue aside, I continue to believe the interpretation below is the most reasonable I have been able to discern.
The angels in watch are those who have been commissioned by God to watch over humanity. This is widely accepted throughout church history, that there are certain classes of angels who guard and protect humanity.
Jesus preached and declared to them that a new hour of their watch had arrived, where the waters would no longer be a means of judgment (as in the days of Noah, v.20) but of salvation through baptism (v.21). It is a new chapter in Salvation History. The Old Covenant has been fulfilled through the New Covenant, bringing salvation through faith alone in Christ alone. The nations are no longer under condemnation, but salvation is offered to all who believe.
In 1 Peter 3:21, Peter clarifies that baptism is “an appeal” (ESV) or “a pledge” (NIV) for a good conscience. Baptism is not salvific, nor does it bring salvation the same way water washes away dirt. Instead, it is symbolic of the saving grace of Jesus Christ and reminds the believer of his living hope because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Through this interpretation of v.19, there is greater continuity throughout the chapter than with any of the other interpretations. I must confess that while many scholars affirm the “spirits are angels” view, I could not find any who clearly articulated it in this same way. The closest is John Calvin who writes in his commentaries, “It seems to me that φυλακὴ rather means a watchtower in which watchmen stand for the purpose of watching, or the very act of watching.” He simply states this without clarifying why he prefers this translation and does not fully explain the significance of translating the passage in this way.
With that said, I humbly submit the above interpretation and trust that it may help others who are looking to understand 1 Peter 3:19.
I have often said, “If you ever preach an original sermon, you’re probably a heretic.” I think the same stands for biblical interpretation. So it is with self-doubt that I offer this interpretation, though it does appear that I’m standing with John Calvin and simply clarifying something he wrote which has gone largely unacknowledged. |

Back in December, I wrote about finding out the name of my birth father and where he currently resides in South Korea. Since then, that is where the information trail stops. I have attempted to contact my case worker through the organization I am using and the last I heard was that there was going to be an attempt to contact him. Since that last email, the staff has changed a little bit and it appears that I have slipped in between the cracks.
After four different emails sent to the general email inbox, my next attempt will be to call them in hopes to make contact with someone who speaks English and I can see the status of my case. My plan is still to return to visit this year, however, if I do not make it this spring, and it’s looking like that, I will probably wait until fall. I don’t have a desire to go during Korean summer with heat and humidity.
The longer time passes as I wait to hear from the organization, the more anxious I get about losing the little piece of information that I have. It’s crazy the emotional roller coaster that I have been put on even with just the case of having his name. I used to think that such information was enough, that I would only need to know a name that would satisfy my curiosity but it seems like that isn’t the case.
Now that there is known information, everything feels like it is within reach. I can sick to my stomach just thinking about the numerous possibilities. Before I knew any of this information, I had come to accept that to find him would be a near miracle…and now that it has completely proven me wrong I am curious now more than ever.
My plan is to call the organization in Korea in the next couple of weeks to see if there is someone who is still in contact with the people handling my case. I am hoping that there is at the very least something to report back so I can start planning my trip back to Seoul. |

Android is currently the most popular mobile operating system in the world by a massive margin. At Gartner’s last count, Google’s Android OS held 78.8% of the global market compared to 17.9% for Apple’s iOS platform. Meanwhile Net Marketshare measures usage to determine market share and it puts those figures a touch closer at 66.01% for Android and 27.84% for iOS as of July. In either case, Android’s lead is huge right now — but that doesn’t mean Google plans to sit still and hope that Android stays on top forever.
It has been revealed that Google is already working on a brand new operating system, though it’s currently unclear what the company intends to use it for.
The new Google platform is currently in the very early stages of development. A GitHub page for the new “Fuchsia” operating system was discovered on Friday evening by Android blog Android Police, and details are scarce at best. The only description offered on the project page is “Pink + Purple == Fuchsia (a new Operating System),” which obviously tells us nothing.
People have begun to dig into the code on the page though, and a few worthwhile details have indeed been uncovered. The most interesting note so far is news that Fuchsia is not based on the Linux Kernel. Why is that significant? Both Android and Chrome OS are based on Linux, which means Fuchsia is an entirely new beast.
The next important notes are the developers listed on Google’s Fuchsia page: Christopher Anderson and Brian Swetland. Both have historically dealt with embedded systems, as The Verge noted, which suggests that Fuchsia could end up being Google’s “Internet of Things” platform built to power next-generation smart devices.
But Google is apparently leaving the door open for plenty of other applications Fuchsia might have, including smartphones. Google’s documentation states that Fuchsia “targets modern phones and modern personal computers” in addition to less complex devices like smart home gadgets.
Is Fuchsia the future of Google’s mobile strategy? Will it replace Android? It’s far too early to say, but this is certainly a space we should all keep an eye on. |
My best friend said, “Let’s go to the flea market,” and I agreed because there is not much else to do in Brownsville, Texas if you are not doing something that you are doing that is not on the TOP 100 THINGS TO DO IN THE SOUTH PADRE ISLAND/BROWNSVILLE AREA list. Someone recently implied that it must be a sorry place that announces fresh produce as one of its major things to brag about. I beg to differ. This place is paradise. My best friend has lost 150 pounds and if it weren’t for the fresh fruits and vegetables that are so plentiful here, her diet would have been outrageously expensive or so bland it would have been impossible to stick to. My best friend looks beautiful and is now doing some modeling.
I absolutely love my BFF. She is awesome!
She has invited me on her trip into Checkmeoutnowland and I have lost 3 inches at my waist and 15 pounds so far. I want to look good on the beach this summer. I have begun on my New Year’s Resoluting already because I can’t afford to waist time waiting for the 1st of the year. (I figure I need a headstart with all I gotta go.) My new resolution is to get in shape and stay there awhile instead of just look good at the event I aimed for and then go back to my regular lifestyle of eating popcorn while I watch exercise tapes, riding my bike to the nearest ice cream shop, asking the nurse to weigh me again AFTER she takes a blood sample to see if it makes the number lower, ordering a bacon cheeseburger, fries and shake with a DIET Coke and so on. If there were not such a proliferation of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from, I would not be succeeding as well as I am now on this self-imposed deprivation or as you call it, dieting. These are some of the vegetables we have available here now a week before Christmas.
A friend whose moniker is Sunclay informed me about what it is like up north and told me the ground is frozen up there. I can’t comprehend that. Frozen dirt? WTH?
I haven’t traveled anywhere really and never up far up north so I can’t comprehend cold or the seasons of fall or winter. The seasons we have in Texas are: almost summer, summer, late summer, and winter where it may go down into the 30’s for a day or so.
We are thankfully NEVER at a loss for incredibly sweet, luscious fruits.
Juicy citrus is the norm here.
There was an episode of Gilligan’s Island where a crate of radioactive vegetables washed up on shore and the vegetables had extraordinary effects on the person who ate them. Mary Ann ate the carrots and could see for miles. Seeing the size of these carrots, bought today – Dec. 20th, at the local flea market reminded me of that episode.
I placed the salt and pepper shakers next to these fruits so that your mind could be blown too when you find out that these are Valley lemons not oranges.
These fruits reminded me of that catalog I loved to look at so much, Gardener’s Choice, where you can buy freak trees and plants such as this. I always suspected that the genetic engineers there came up with their freaky ideas after work at the lab while sharing a bottle of Jack.
Again the Rio Grande Valley has the lowest gas in the nation. People in other parts of this great country are still paying over 3 dollars a gallon in some places.
We were in Harlingen trying to get a Halloween costume for our daughter where I was again hit by the “Worst Mom in the World” syndrome. This syndrome is common among parents who are first-timers and discover that if you wait too long to get something you may deem yourself a loser in the parent game. It has happened to me twice at Easter time when I could not for the life of me find an Easter basket in the whole town of Brownsville, apparently I had waited too long and the good parents went and bought them all from all the stores in all the town. I said to myself, “Well, I learned my lesson.” Then it happened to me again the very next year.
This time it has happened again but on Halloween. All Walmarts, the specialty Halloween shops, Kmart and Targets are dangerously low on Halloween costumes and I am afraid that if you have not bought yours yet for your little one you are going to be doing the crafty make-your-own this year. I was searching for butterfly wings and was disappointed store after store in town after town in this beautiful valley then only after purchasing a replacement headband that had little ears on it, (I figured she could be a kitty if we painted whiskers on her) did I have the blessed luck to look in a shopping cart of mismatched and miscellaneous items where I found the elusive wings. I almost cried from relief and I said, “Thank you, God,” at least ten times thanking Him for the wings and for the bottles that a girl gave me that will allow me to do my art project for the upcoming Mercado on South Padre Island. I did my first bottle already and it looks AWESOME!
This guy was smart and got his costume early. |
There are many causes of failure in study such as quality and difficulty of learning content, and learning proficiency. We think that we can detect such causes by measuring a browsing history, edit history, and biological information such as brain wave or eye tracking information. We think this allows we can do automatic presentation suited the intelligibility and evaluate the validity grade of the teaching materials. To analyze above mentioned learning process, we held a summer science school with tens of high school students and collect browsing history, edit history, and biological information. In this paper, we describe outline of a summer science school and show the part of the result of analysis of collected data. |
(left to right) Newport Beach Police Department Chief Jon Lewis with honorees Connie Frink, Brandon Rodriguez, Lauren Wyse, Jason Blakely, and Marc Spiegel at the Chamber of Commerce Police Appreciation Breakfast on Thursday.
A large police presence was seen at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach on Thursday morning, but there was no cause for concern, it was an event of celebration and gratitude.
The 47th Annual Newport Beach Chamber of Commerce Police Appreciation Breakfast awarded 19 men and women from the local police department for their service. Friends and family of the honorees also attended the breakfast to cheer them on.
“Our police department not only serves as law enforcement, but also as city ambassadors to the many visitors our city sees,” stated Craig Batley, Chamber of Commerce Chairman of the Board and Chairman of the 2018 Police Appreciation Breakfast, during his introduction.
The sold out event was attended by local dignitaries, like State Assemblyman Matt Harper and Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas, as well as past and present City Council members.
Mayor Duffy Duffield, who presented the awards with Police Chief Jon Lewis, lauded the honorees.
“To the winners, congratulations. You are the best of one of the best departments in the state,” he said during the Mayor’s Greeting.
Duffield went out of his way to say that he has been known to get teary-eyes during police breakfasts in the past, and that he genuinely enjoys them.
“This is such a fun thing to come watch,” he noted.
Lewis in turn, thanked the city.
He also took time to acknowledge those who surround and support police officers.
“It’s important that we recognize our families, our police families, who stand faithfully behind the badge. Every act of heroism and service you hear about would not be possible without our police families,” Lewis said.
Narrating the award presentations was veteran newsman Keith Morrison of “Dateline NBC.” Morrison, who famously covered the 1989 protests in Tiananmen Square and hundreds of world events since, brought equal parts gravitas and humor with his familiar voice.
“The work done by the men and women, when they put in the extra effort, are among the finest people anywhere,” he said, noting that police departments face a lot of challenges in today’s society.
NBPD Officer Troy Zeeman receives his Medal of Valor from Police Chief Jon Lewis as Mayor Marshall “Duffy” Duffield watches. Zeeman, who along with another off-duty police officer, saved lives at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last October.
“Their work is oft criticized, but not here. And not today,” Morrison said.
He went to share the dramatic stories of lives saved and crimes solved, perhaps none more known that that of Officer Troy Zeeman, who along with another off-duty police officer, saved lives at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas last October.
When shots from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel rained down on the 22,000 people watching Jason Aldean perform, Zeeman led his wife and 23 others into a dark place to hide.
While guiding them to cover, Zeeman was shot in the right thigh, but he stayed with the group to ensure their safety. He did not seek medical attention for his own gunshot wound until five hours after the event.
For his heroic actions and saving multiple lives, Zeeman was awarded the Medal of Valor, a very rare honor in any department.
Eighteen others were honored with awards. Mental Health Clinician Peg Peterson and Reserve Officer Steven N. Schogel were awarded Chief’s Citations. Lifesaving Awards were presented to Officer Mark Fasano, Officer Rachel Cox, Officer Bill Hume, and Officer Ricardo Adame.
Medal of Merit Awards were given to: Sergeant Josh Comte, Sergeant Brad Miller, Officer Jonathan Jarema, Officer Chris Kimble, Officer Jeremy Duenas, Officer Dennis Maisano, and Officer Steven Oberon.
Marc Spiegel won Volunteer of the Year, while Dispatcher Lauren Wyse won Civilian of the Year. Connie Frink was awarded Civilian Supervisor of the Year, Sergeant Brandon Rodriguez won Sworn Supervisor of the Year, and Officer Jason Blakely was Officer of the Year. |

Saving money is at the forefront of everyone's minds these days, as the economy is still in the process of straightening itself out. As a result, many people have had to make cutbacks, whether it's scaling back on all those cable channels, reducing the number of minutes available on their cell phone plans or opting for a wedding gown made out of toilet paper. Wait, what?
Believe it or not, women all over the country have been using the paper bathroom accessories to make dresses that really could look perfect on a bride walking down the aisle. The 8th Annual Cheap Chic Weddings Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest, sponsored by Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com and Charmin, held their final judging event at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Times Square Odditorium in New York recently, reports The Huffington Post.
The winner of the event, who took home a prize of $2,012, was Susan Brennan of Lake Orchard, Michigan, who actually won the event last year as well. The 26-year-old designer used a total of 10 rolls of toilet paper to make the dress, which also relied on glue and thread. She was apparently able to put it all together in just a week.
"I wanted something really original, something young brides would want to wear," she said. "Like the high-low hem, so your shoes can show, a really fun back, with the cut-outs, very modern... It's my little bohemian cupcake."
The contest had a total of 700 entries this year, which makes Brennan's feat all the more impressive. It also means that a heck of a lot of toilet paper had to be used, but luckily the entrants got a little help with that. Charmin reportedly provided coupons to help them cover the costs of buying all that paper.
Cheap-Chic-Weddings.com is a website dedicated to helping brides-to-be save money on their ceremonies, so it's only fitting that they would sponsor such a thrifty event. They came up with the idea based on a popular bridal shower game and over the eight years that the event has been running, the popularity and skills of the entrants has increased.
"The quality of talent that presents itself each year always amazes us," Susan Bain, one of the founders of Cheap Chic Weddings, said. "This year's entries included several dresses that had intricate details like faux embroidery, ruffles, pleats and even lace effects."
Perhaps making a wedding gown out of toilet paper isn't such a bad idea for saving money on a wedding after all, considering they're so gorgeous! |
By: Claire Bernish / (The Free Thought Project) On Saturday, the United States ceded oversight of one of the Internet’s most basic and fundamental functions — the so-called “root zone,” which governs new domain names and addresses — handing it over to a small non-profit group by allowing a 47-year contract to expire.

It’s all about gut health, seriously!
Do you wonder if you will ever feel better? Are you frustrated because you’re not finding the answers you need from conventional doctors? Do you wonder sometimes if it really is all in your head? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Millions suffer from a variety of symptoms every day…just like you! There is hope, you can feel better and get your life back!
What in the heck is the microbiome?
A properly functioning digestive system is critical when it comes to good health. First, lets talk about the microbiome. This is a complex ecosystem of bacteria located within our bodies. It can be defined or referred to as a “community of microbes”. What makes this interesting is that a vast majority of the microbiome lives in our digestive system. Because of this some researchers suggest that 90% of all diseases can consequently be traced back some way to the gut and the health of the microbiome. There is plenty of evidence suggesting that nutrition plays a large part in establishing gut health as well as support for your microbiome’s good bacteria.
The ecosystem of the bacteria located in our gut is crucial for boosting immunity. That brings me to another topic, your immune system. Did you know that similarly approximately 70-80% of our immune system resides in our gut? Your immune system acts as the frontline army, fighting off exposure to unwanted invaders. So, that tells us something right? If we have a weakened immune system we are therefore more prone to chronic health issues.
Poor gut health doesn’t mean you just get a stomach ache, it is so much more in-depth than that. Because poor gut health can cause systemic issues, it can be the root cause for not only a variety of digestive issues such as ulcerative colitis/crohn’s disease, gas/bloating, diarrhea/constipation and acid reflux/GERD, but also chronic health issues such as autoimmune disorders, chronic fatigue, eczema, fibromyalgia, hashimoto’s thyroid, anxiety, depression and much more.
Are you asking “where do I go from here?” Please do not lose hope, you can feel better and you can get your life back. Have you heard of the 5-R protocol? If not, keep reading.
Are you are ready to stop letting your health issues and symptoms control your life? Are you ready to take back your life and start living again? If you are looking for a different approach, a more functional approach where you address the root cause of your health issues rather than just treating the symptoms with medication then the 5-R protocol is for you.
Remember, you may start feeling good as soon as you start to remove toxins from your diet but remember moving through each “R” is important for improving the health of your microbiome and immune system. To complete each stage of the 5-R protocol can take up to a few months. For that reason, don’t give up, don’t throw in the towel. Keep moving forward on your gut health journey, you will feel better and you will finally get your life back!

During consultations, various sketches and ideas are presented and solid plan for the sculpture is agreed upon. The next step has Janie create a maquette, or small replica, of the sculpture, and this is reviewed before the full sized edition is created.
A steel armature, or frame, is built, which acts as a skeleton to support the sculpture while it is in the clay stage. External supports will not be present in the final bronze casting. Janie then creates the sculpture using an oil based clay, which does not dry out or harden as do water based clays.
Next, the sculpture is fitting with shims, or thin metal plates, that will divide the work’s mold into separate sections. A master mold maker then coats the sculpture in countless thin layers of rubber, which capture even the most minute of details, until the rubber mold is two to three inches thick. A plaster mold encases this rubber mold to add strength and stability.
The molds are removed from the sculpture, and reassembled, creating a hollow void, which is filled with melted wax. When the way cools and the molds are removed, there is now a wax version of the original sculpture. This wax sculpture is coated with a slurry, or a mix of ceramic and sand, then flash fired, which simultaneously melts the wax out of the mold and hardens the ceramic shell.
Bronze is heated to the liquid phase and then carefully poured into the ceramic shell. Once cooled, the ceramic shell is broken and removed in pieces from the bronze casting. The final stages include any finishing touches on the bronze to remedy surface imperfections, welding, assembling, and smoothing the pieces of the sculpture if it had been cast in separate sections, and applying a patina, or finish, to the bronze sculpture.
The finished piece is ready for delivery, installation, and unveiling. |

The idea of space comes from dimensions of solids or matter. But matter is not the most basic physical substance. Underlying matter we have the field. How does this change the concept of space?
It is interesting to study the interface between matter and field. That is the area Quantum Mechanics is looking at. Quantum Mechanics have had lots of successes, so Quantum Mechanics is mostly right. But its math is very complicated. Can that math be simplified without rendering QM wrong, because QM is not wrong! If we can simplify the math of QM then I am sure we can get further mileage out of it.
What is field compared to matter? When particles collide in atomic and nuclear reactions, we see emission of radiation. It seems that matter cannot be divided indefinitely as matter. Somewhere along the way matter seems to divide into field.
What is wave function? A wave function is trying to define the field. What does probability in a wave function mean? I don’t think it provides the chance of locating a particle in space because the concept of particle and space is in question here. A particle seems to be a “peak in probability”, and the background is not space but the adjacent valley. These “peaks and valleys” are relative, which are mimicking “particles and space”.
The atom exists as a “particle” in the relative “space” of outside low-frequency field. The nucleus of an atom exists as a “particle” in the relative “space” of the electronic region. This idea is not very different from the idea of a “quantum” in QM.
There seems to be a spike in frequency at the surface of the atom, and another huge spike at the surface of the nucleus. “Particles”, such as, electrons, atoms, and nuclei are stable configurations. The “particles” of Standard Model are also relatively stable configurations. This explains how there are particles within particles.
What does the zero mass of a photon means? Mass seems to come about when there is sharp spike in frequency. That means there is no sharp spike in frequency within a photon. The photon is the “space” part of a field. The photon then stands out as a “particle” in a “space” of lowest frequency possible. That would be a field approaching zero frequency. That would be “pure space”. |
Dell PowerEdge R220 wasn’t showing me any stats about my server components inside vSphere, even with the Dell Customized ESXi 6.5 ISO.
First, I’m noting that there isn’t a release of the VIB for 6.5 that I can find, so I used Dell OpenManage 8.4 VIB for ESXi 6.0 with success.
UPDATE 4/28/2017: Dell has released OMSA 8.5 and a VIB for ESXi 6.0-6.5.
Most of the components aren’t reading correctly. I rebooted a few times to see if this would kick in, but it didn’t.
After installing the VIB, this screen shows me the proper readings.
Anyways, to install this VIB and clean up these areas, first download the 6.0 VIB from Dell.
You’ll need to SSH into your host and execute a command to install this VIB.
esxcli software vib install -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/OM..
After typing OM (don’t enter ..) immediately hit <TAB> on your keyboard and it will enter the rest of the file name. I’d rather not type that all out anyways.
This should take a couple minutes, then reboot the host and you’re okay.
Now my hypervisor is in-tune with its hardware and furthermore I can utilize Dell OpenManage Server Administrator to manage the system.
Since this is ESXi 6.0 VIB on ESXi 6.5, I can’t provide support or guarantee functionality of this in production.
If there are any issues or feedback I would love to hear.
So how do you utilize Dell Server Administrator now? Where is it installed?
You will need to install the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator software on your local machine (for example https://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER04242232M/1/OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WINX64-8.5.0-2372_A00.exe ) and log in to your ESXi host through the management software, using the same IP and credentials as vSphere.
The transaction is not supported: VIB Dell_bootbank_OpenManage_8.5.0.ESXi650-2372 cannot be live installed.
Is there a way to enable live install? I am booting from a USB (8gb) with lots of free space.
Apologies. Where did you obtain that vib?
Other information about that message is to ensure host is in maintenance mode, try rebooting before the install, etc.
Since it’s on DELL’s VIBs depot, I’d imagine the above download link should work for a while.
Thanks for sharing this. I’ve updated the article with your contribution.
I forgot to mention that if you use the VIB for 6.5 from the link I provided, since it’s just the VIB file and not a ZIP, the command changes slightly as you’ll need to use -v and not -d as your command shows above. |
I'm new here. Recently purchased an r380 stealth and I absolutely LOVE it. Smoothest trigger pull I've ever felt, no kick to speak of, lightweight, easy to conceal and fantastic accuracy within personal defense range.
Anyways, I figured starting a thread discussing which ammunition everyone uses and why they use it would be a good thing to do... especially given the impossibility of finding .380 for sale anywhere (at least in South Florida).
To start: I use Fiocchi 95 grain FMJ ball. It has terrific penetration and feeds well. It also happens to be relatively easy to find down here, and I wont carry ammo unless I can train with it.
Re: What ammo do you use?
Southpaw. Welcome to the Forum. I have a .380 but haven't shot it yet, mainly due to the ammo shortage. Again, welcome.
Gene. I've been looking for .380 Winchester Silvertips and haven't ever been able to find these. This is definitely more scarce than hen's teeth.
and $35.00, old stock, an individual is selling these.
You could be right on the .380 Silvertips. I can't find those at all.
Excellent price, indeed. Just might have to get some of the Gold Dots.
Well, let's hope so! Best news I've heard on Silvertips. Good luck on the birthday present!
THEY WILL BEGIN PRODUCTION ON THE SILVERTIPS ON APRIL 15!!!
She said they would start sooner if possible, but not likely...WOOHOO...FINALLY ON THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULE!
WyoShooter. Welcome to the Forum. Thanks for that excellent information. I've been trying to find out that very same thing. Thanks again for the info. |
As summer winds down, you may decide to host an outdoor party at your home, including business clients and friends.
Strategy: Invite mostly clients. Depending on the situation, you may be able to write off a larger share of the home entertainment cost.
It’s especially important to include clients you’ve just met with.
When you entertain both business clients and social guests, only the amount attributable to the clients is eligible for the deduction.
Example: Following a discussion with seven clients on a Friday afternoon, you decide that you will invite the entire group, including their spouses, to your home for a dinner party. With you and your spouse and two couples who are friends, the total crowd is 20, and 16 count as business attendees (including you and your spouse). If the party costs $2,500, you can deduct 50% of $2,000 (16/20 Î $2,500), or $1,000.
However, if you are an employee of your business, the party expenses are unreimbursed employee business expenses that must be treated as a miscellaneous itemized deduction item, subject to a deduction threshold of 2% of adjusted gross income (AGI).
Tip: A better approach may be to have your business reimburse you. The business can deduct 50% of the cost without regards to the 2%-of-AGI limit. |

The Atlantic road. A few kilometers of road along the Atlantic coast that have become a "must" for many visiting this part of our country. Maybe it is close to be a "tourist trap" as only a few kilometer is of real interest - as here with a spectacular bridge as shown. But of course it starts in the north with a tunnel of app. 6 km and reaching a depth of 250m crossing under a fjord between Kristiansund and Averøya.
A unique stretch of road which takes you right out to the ocean’s edge. In 2005, the road was voted Norway’s «Engineering Feat of the Century», and is also known to be the world's most beautiful drive. It connects Averøy with the mainland via a series of small islands and islets spanned by a total of eight bridges over 8274 meters. The road was opened in 1989 and is toll free. The Atlantic Road has National Tourist Route status and the entire stretch between Bud and Kristiansund is one continuous experience packed with coastal scenery, culture and history. |

The Dallas Stars are the proud team of the Lone Star State, as members of the Pacific Division in the Western Conference. Although the Stars have only played in Dallas for roughly 20 years, it didn’t take them very long to establish themselves as the new sheriffs in the NHL. With a Stanley Cup Championship in only their sixth season of existence and numerous playoff berths along the way, the Stars have certainly lived up to their name. If you want to watch the most exciting hockey in Texas, then the Stars are your best bet, so purchase your Dallas Stars tickets today!
Before the Stars became Dallas residents, the franchise was originated in Minnesota as the North Stars in 1967 as one of six new expansion teams in the NHL. After spending 26 years in Minnesota, the franchise was relocated to Dallas, adopting “Stars” as their team name. With a fresh start in a new city, the Stars wasted no time in making their presence known throughout the NHL, as they advanced to the postseason, sweeping the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but eventually ousted by the Vancouver Canucks in the Western Conference Semifinals.
The Stars built upon their inaugural season success, and in 1998-1999, Dallas set franchise records by winning 51 regular season games and earning the team’s first President’s Trophy for having the best record in the NHL. Advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals, the Stars went on to defeat the Buffalo Sabres in six games, led by the scoring prowess of Mike Modano and Brett Hull, as well as the stellar goaltending of Ed Belfour, to claim Dallas’ first Stanley Cup Championship.
Although the Stars have yet to replicate their 1998-1999 championship season, the Stars have had numerous playoff runs in their ensuing years, and are even more driven to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season. The Stars have assembled a talented roster of young stars in the making like Jamie Benn, as well as big name players like Jaromir Jagr, Ray Whitney, and Derek Roy to help Dallas return as a Western Conference powerhouse. With seats at the American Airlines Center constantly filled with fans, tickets to see the Stars are a hot seller, so purchase your Dallas Stars tickets now!

Prepping for basic emergencies doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It doesn’t have to be a huge expense. I work with many people who immediately get that dear in the headlights look when the topic is preparing families for emergencies.
Prepping for basic emergencies can be as easy as taking a trip to your local grocery or big box store.
Nobody likes to be stuck in the dark. These items are inexpensive and will make getting through an emergency a much safer experience.
Water is your friend, boys and girls. Make sure you have 1 gallon of water per person per day. More if you are hoping to flush toilets, or brush your teeth.
I’d suggest a LifeStraw water filter that can easily fit into a backpack.
Ready to eat, shelf stable foods.
Quick and easy is the name of the game. Peanut butter. Crackers. Those ready to eat packets of tuna. Again, things you can pick up a little at a time each time you make a grocery run.
As a BIG fan of Freeze Dried Meals in emergency situations, the Mountain House Just in Case Essential Bucket is one of my favorites. Unlike many other buckets of this kind, Mountain House has put together a trio that even my kids will eat. You’ll need a way to heat water to add to these meals. Don’t forget the matches!
Don’t be stuck spraying your sweet patoot clean with a honey bear filled with cold water unless the apocalypse really is in full swing. Until then stock up on the TP.
After Hurricane Harvey, toilet paper was listed as one of the 6 most sought after items. Hurricane survivors underestimated how much toilet paper they needed to make it through the aftermath. Toilet paper is used every day and when it runs out, things can get disgusting……quickly.

Can you take preparedness to a higher level? Of course! Most people start with the basics, get the bug, so to say, and then continue to grow their preparedness goals. The point is that you don’t have to jump onto the Expert Level to make sure your family can make it through a rough time. And every thing listed above can be purchased either at your grocery store or a big box store, on sale, and often with coupons.
Start simply. Pick up a few items each time you get paid. Sell some of your stuff that you are no longer using, and put that money towards a prepping goal. Put your foundation in place and then work to meet your personal preparedness goals.
Self sufficiency is a mind set, an every day way of thinking. It’s a journey to a simpler, less worry filled life.
Where are YOU in your emergency preparedness goals? How can I help you achieve those goals?
As a mom, I really liked all the tips you got here! Thanks for this!
These are SUPER great tips! Even when you are low on space (such as being in a smaller apartment) you can still find little spots to store these much needed (and frequently forgotten) preparedness items!
These are great tips. We aim for having a month’s worth of food for each person in our house (4 of us) at all times.
Great, practical tips here. You should always be prepared!
I agree. I think it’s less stressful to buy “just a little extra” every time you go shopping. That way you don’t have to carry home a bunch of stuff all at once and there’s always a spare of whatever you need around. Ideally, you’d buy most of what you’d need for the rest of your life sooner rather than later just for economic reasons–prices are going to keep going up, I suspect. Then there’s inflation.
Thanks a lot for the advice! These posts are always full of great information. Going to keep an eye out for those contractor bags. |
I’m sometimes asked whether Hypnotherapy can help with skin complaints. Indeed it can- the use of hypnotherapy for skin complaints is backed by solid scientific evidence.
The “Oxford Handbook of Hypnosis: Theory, Research and Practice” is published by Oxford University, one of the most highly respected Universities in the world. Chapter 15 of this large textbook discusses the research into hypnotherapy for skin disorders. This chapter is written by Dr Grant Benham PhD of the University of Texas, and Dr Jarred Younger PhD of Stanford University in California. Stanford has produced 59 Nobel prize-winners, 30 living billionaires, and 17 astronauts!
Benham and Younger quote from 53 scientific studies supporting the effectiveness of hypnosis in treating various skin disorders, including eczema, psoriasis, and warts.
An important element of the therapy in many skin disorders is to get the patient to stop scratching. This is achieved partly through modifying the patient’s perception of the itching sensation, making it more bearable. A similar approach is effective with chronic pain. Hypnosis also helps by enabling the patient to notice when they are scratching and to stop immediately- because often the scratching is so habitual that the patient hardly knows they’re doing it.

The proposed project is expected to provide jobs for 150 people during the construction phase and 1,366 personnel during operation phase.
In the proposal, the US Embassy said the existing office that spans on two plots in an area of 1,13,200 square metre (sqm) in Chanakyapuri faces a number of challenges.
The utilities are outdated and inefficient, and there has been no major architectural and infrastructural improvement in the embassy since 1965. The environment ministry recently examined the proposal and gave the final environment clearance to the US Embassy for its Rs 200 crore project with some riders, the document said.
The project will involve partly demolition of existing structure and vegetation. The existing built-up area of 13,189.03 sqm of the building will be demolished and about 205 number of trees will be felled.
Among the conditions specified, the embassy has been asked to plant one tree for every 80 sqm of land.
The proposal entails addition, alternation and erection of the existing embassy for development of new office building and residential units.
The master plan also aims to build new consular facility to increase capacity and enhance quality of experience for visitors as well as update campus to meet current security requirements.
It also aims to update campus utilities to maximize efficient and sustainable systems, the proposal added.
The US was the first country to exchange ambassadors with independent India in 1947. The embassy in New Delhi is one of the largest US diplomatic missions in the world. |

The Henry’s Fork of the Snake River, named after Andrew Henry known for discovering and exploring the area in the early 1800s, is arguably one of the finest trout streams in the lower forty-eight states.
In fact Trout Unlimited voted the Henry’s Fork the number one stream in the country. The upper section of the Henry’s Fork is formed where Henry’s Lake Outlet, a lightly fished meadow stream bound by willow trees, meets Big Springs, the primary source of water to the Henry’s Fork.
Downstream from where the Outlet is joined by Big Springs, the Henry’s Fork flows past Mack’s Inn and Upper Coffee Pot Campground. This portion of the river is primarily a put-and-take fishery containing mostly smaller trout. This area is also a popular recreation spot for rafting and canoeing. Further downstream larger rainbows can be found in the productive pocket water of Coffee Pot Rapids. Fall fishing can be quite exciting here when large rainbows follow spawning Kokanee out of the reservoir.
Below Island Park Reservoir the Henry’s Fork flows into the famed Box Canyon. This short 3 1/2 mile stretch of river produces some of the best fishing you will find anywhere on the river. This fast flowing section is primarily nymphing water due to an abundant food supply consisting primarily of stonefly nymphs.
From the bottom of Box Canyon the river slows as it flows thru the community of Last Chance and Harriman State Park. This section of the Henry’s Fork, most famous among dry fly fisherman the world over, is known for large rainbow trout, beautiful sunsets, prolific hatches, and perfect presentations . Fish this area in mid-June and you might find twenty-inch rainbows gorging themselves during a green drake hatch.
Below Harriman State Park the river picks up speed again near Riverside Campground as it drops into Cardiac Canyon. From the campground to the Hatchery Ford takeout, you’ll find approximately 4 miles of deep runs and pocket water with some class 2 white water rapids. Like the Box Canyon this section can produce good numbers of rainbows with some of the largest fish being taken out of some of the deep runs. The Hatchery Ford takeout is the last easy access before Lower Sheep Falls and Mesa Falls.
The section of river below Lower Mesa Falls may be the most scenic and least-fished portion of the river. Rainbows and browns can be taken here in good numbers and size. Access is limited due to steep canyon walls and floating this stretch is advisable only for the experienced oarsman.
From the confluence with Warm River to the Ashton Reservoir the Henry’s Fork becomes more easily fishable with lots of deep pools, riffles and good of access. Excellent dry fly fishing can be found in the many back eddies and current seams. Large populations of rainbows and brown trout reside here making this one of the most diverse sections of the river.
From the Ashton Dam to St. Anthony the Henry’s Fork consists mostly of long riffles and runs. This section fishes best early and late in the season, good hatches in June and July can produce some of the best dry fly fishing on the river. Open all year, the hearty angler willing to brave the cold during March and April can get in some great early season fishing.
Island Park can provide you with all of your Fly Fishing needs on the South Fork of the Snake or Teton River. Rowing Clinics and Fly Fishing Guide Schools are also offered throughout the season. Please give us a call for more info.

The Cycle That Never Arrived..... Untill Today!
Discussion in 'Aquarium Nitrogen Cycle' started by LineRat, Mar 26, 2010.
New to the forums and wanted to share my cycling ordeal with you all.
Now, I have never owned any fish but my wife has and we both thought (well mostly I thought) It would be fun to start an aquarium especially since the price was right.
Got it home and set it up.. decorated it and filled it with de-chlorinated water (The kit came with a packet of Tetra Aqua Safe).
I then sat down and scoured google for all the info I could find on this new hobby I had just committed myself to and saw that I needed to let the tank cycle before we add any fish. Okay I say.. lets start on that and wait so off to our LFS just down the street to see what they had to help that along and fish gaze a bit lol.
I mentioned that we weren't buying any fish for a few weeks to let the tank cycle first and that's when the clerk suggested TSS. GREAT! Now we can "Add Fish Immediately" as the package says.
So we take them home and add the TSS and then we add the fish.
Water tests seemed great for 2 days 0,0,0 no anything in there.. as far as I knew at the time things had worked out. Till day 3 when I had 0.5,0,0.... did a 50% water change and the next day we had 1,0,0.. did back to back water changes and this has been the story of my cycle ever since.. I have even added a second bottle of TSS just incase I used it wrong the first time... numbers are still consistantly 1,0,0 and this is now week 6 going into week 7.
So 2 weeks ago ( knowing alot more now.. knowledge is power right?) We purchased a 55g kit from walmart.. again the price was right. Set it up and decided to cycle it fishless and just move all the fish into it once it's good to go and till then coninue the daily water changes to keep them atleast alive.. poor fish.
Got a cup of gravel from the LFS (all they would give me but I wasnt counting on any) placed it in a new nylon and dosed the tank with ACE brand ammonia ( yep the pure stuff.. did my research this time around lol. I can learn sometimes) to 5ppm and waited for the magic to happen..... it didn't.
For the last 2 weeks my 55 has been sitting at 5,0,0 ph is 7.6, KH is 87ppm temp 86.
So I did more and more reading... I have asked around at work and no one I know owns an aquarium which since most of them live on base in Navy barracks isn't surprising I figured I was SOL as far as cycling anything went. Till I read a short post where someone mentioned Fritz Turbo Start #700. I had never heard of it but figure I'd google it and see if it was worth even considering ( So far I have tried TSS twice, BioZyme once.. that stuff is utter and used gravel) Everything I had read seemed like it was the real deal... so now in desperation I ordered some.
My 4oz bottle arrived yesterday in an inflatable Ice chest box liner thingy with an ice pack in it I was now curious.. I know it has to be refrigerated but hey this was cool.. the bottle also had a use by day for 3 months from now... even better.
So I dose my tank with 2 oz of it ( package says 1 oz treats a 40g and one can dose 5x more than needed so I went for just over my needed amount) And waited.
I'm can't sit still I'm so happy to see a color other than light blue on my nitrite kit and Yellow on my nitrate kit lol!! I've had them for 6 weeks now and they never were any color but the one for 0!
It usally takes a few weeks for notice in cycle change doesn't happen over nite Lol!!! Bio chemicals don't work like the bottle reads takes time for tank to go thru cycle!What did these tanks come with? Are they under gravel filters or hang on the back? At most tanks in fresh take around 4 to 6 weeks to gain strenght and even then can take longer depending on what your setup is can you give me more info on all that you have so far?
Yeah, I know a fish in cycle takes a while but 6 weeks with nothing but ammonia spiking and nothing else even hinting at registering is getting tiresome. I'm also concerned for the long term health effects it will have on my fish ( which I can't return.. my LFS is really a crappy little store).
In my 28g I have a Penguin 150B HOB filter and a Aquatech 10-20 HOB with a combined flowrate of 270g. I'm going to upgrade to a second Penguin 150B as soon as I can afford to.
Substrate is Gravel and the plants are plastic.
The ph and kh is the same as the 55g I'm doing the fishless in and the temp is kept at 80.
I'm not expecting an instant cycle with the turbostart.. I'm just thrilled to finally see a cycle going period.
Yeah I totallty understand. It takes a good while to cycle a tank but with no fish or a bacteria start will take twice as long. If there is no fish in your tank then there is a faster way to acheive this buy a shrimp not frozen but a fresh one and hang it in your tank for a week and let bio load get started this way it's alot cheaper this way and you will see a change don't let shrimp totally decay but just enough to see a spike in ammonia levels then as well as nitrites. You do know about cycle I suppose ? this will happen much faster this way.After tank cycles slowly introduce fish into your tank like 1 or 2 every other week but make sure all ammonia and nitrites are at 0 levels.
Welcome to Fish Lore LineRat!
Yep, I now know all about the Nitrogen cycle lol.. have done nothing but research it for the last 6 weeks since my 28 was set up.
You are talking about doing a fishless cycle.. thats what I am doing in the 55 gallon that I added the ammonia and Turbostart to.
You need to feed bacteria to start up and I would just put in a few gold fish to help out and feed them every day the thing that's happening is there is nothing in your tank that bacteria can feed on so I suggest doing this to help bio lload to produce or other wise you spent money on bottled stuff that has nothing to eat and end up dying so try this and you will see.
Stang Man, I have been feeding the bacteria 5ppm of ammonia once a day since adding the bottled stuff. So far my ammonia is going from 5ppm down to 1 ppm in a 24 hour period.
Nitrites have been holding steady at 1 ppm but the nitrates are climbing by 5-10ppm a day.
I'm not sure if my first post was confusing or not but I am pretty sure I explained that I was dosing the 55g with ammonia maintaining 5ppm in there.... I wrote that after a long day at work so it's possible it was un clear.
Okay so ammonia has done it's job and nitrites are next sounds alot better than nothing happening. Have you tested water for ammonia and nitrites?
If I'm reading your thread correctly, you did a water change when TSS was in the tank? If so, that might have led to the TSS failing you. You're not supposed to do a water change until the tenth day of having TSS.
I was going to buy Fritz in case my TSS failed me, but I saw the high shipping costs ($22) and I think I'm just going to do daily W/C's or get some SuperBac if TSS fails.
B what kind of pleco? Most types of pleco will out grow your tank within a year. I'd suggest looking it up and if he isn't one of the ones that stay small let him go to a better home and buy a different type.
I agree that it was most likely the water changes that caused the TSS to fail. I've used it twice on two separate tanks and IME, as long as you follow the directions carefully and completely it works well. Since the TSS didn't work, I would recommend getting a bottle of Prime or Amquel+ and starting a daily water change routine until the cycle is complete.
I'm sorry this part is a bit confusing, are we talking about the 28 or the 55 here? You start and end with what seems like the 55, but there are parts where it sounds like you are talking about the 28. ??? You mention that you used TSS and BioZyme, but were those supplements added to the 28 with fish, or the 55 without? Which tank did you add the Fritz to? and which tank do these readings belong to?
It came with the setup. I also have an AquaTech 10-20 running as a supplement to the penguin.
Thats been the game plan so far. I have been doing daily W/C on my 28g since day 3.. going on 7 weeks now.
Yep, it is kinda confusing... thats what I get for posting at the end of a 14 day stretch of 12 hour work days lol.
Let me try to clear that up... That bit is referring to the 55g I am cycling without fish. I haven't used any TSS in it only the 28g was ever treated with that and only that.
The 55g has had Used Gravel, BioZyme and Fritz added to it.
So far everything looks to be on track. My Ammonia is dropping daily and the nitrates are climbing while the Nitrites have held steady at 1ppm the whole time.
That was day 4. I dosed it up to 2ppm ammonia right after taking the readings. Ill keep updating with where the numbers are at this afternoon.
Hi. Just weanted to say welcome to the forums! Looks like the other members got you covered. Good luck with the rest of your cycle.
Congrats that your cycle is appearing! It seems you are doing all you can for now, best of luck, it gets easier once this is all done!
You're right that the bottle of TSS doesn't really give sufficient information regarding proper use for success. Our mods were kind enough to ask Tetra directly about the proper use of TSS and received a very detailed response. Q & A With Tetra on TSS If you would like to try TSS one more time, we can help you ensure that this time would be more successful. If so, please post your readings for your 28g, and we can give you a step by step on how to proceed with TSS. It would also be a good idea to test and post results of your tap water so we can get an idea of what your base parameters are.
Your 55 seems to be coming along great! Just keep up with that one and you should be good to go in no time.

I read the info contained in the Q & A With Tetra about Tetra SafeStart post and purchased another (and hopefully the last) bottle of TSS.
My base tap water readings are.
I have not done any water changes in 3 days so the water would be free of any conditioners or ammonia purifiers etc.
So today will be day one and I will update as it goes along over the next couple of weeks. Now if I can only restrain myself from testing the water over the next 48 hours I'll be good lol!
Good luck! Remember even if you test NO water changes until you test on day 10. If your cycle isn't done then you'll have to go back to daily water changes. If it is done than generally all you need is one water change to get nitrate levels down for your regular maintenance.
I am starting day 5 of the 28g TSS cycle and just thought I'd post my readings over the last 4 days..
Day 2 Did not test as per instructions. |
I’m back in Boston! I had a wonderful vacation in Italy with my parents. It was everything I thought it would be, and more. The sights were amazing and of course the food was great. I loved spending time with my mom and dad, and I’m looking forward to future family vacations – with my two sisters next time!
1. I know that it is the fashion capital of the world, so I was expecting everyone to be very well dressed and for the whole city to be chic.
2. I was also expecting to do a lot of shopping.
3. I was very excited to see the Last Supper painting by Michelangelo.
1. It wasn’t chic, at least not all of it. Milan is actually an industrial city, so some parts were a little gritty. And instead of the runway fashion on the street, everyone was dressed kinda normally. Not badly, don’t get me wrong, but not… exquisite. But the men – oh, the men – that’s another story. They all wore fitted Italian suits (well, since they are Italian maybe I should just say “fitted suits”) and rode motorcycles all over the city. Well tailored Italian suits + motorcycles = hubba hubba.
2. I did some shopping, but it was very expensive. In fact, everything was expensive – not just the bags, shoes, and clothes, but the food and drinks too! I actually bought very few pieces (investment pieces, as I’d like to call them) and my mom bought more (hehe) but overall it wasn’t the shopping mecca I thought it would be.
3. The Last Supper was AMAZING. And it was actually not a framed portrait but painted on the wall of one church! I had no idea. It was breath-taking and definitely worth the one-month-in-advance tickets that my dad thoughtfully got.
Torino’s Bull. Notice its balls are missing. They say if you put your right heel in the hole and turn 3 times, it will bring you good luck! So of course we did.
And, let’s not forget – The Food. It was delicious, of course.
During our entire stay in Italy, I ate gelatto every day (sometimes twice a day)! My favorite flavor was nocciola (hazelnut). Soooo good.
Pork Milanese and roasted veggies. Whoever said food portions in Italy were small was lying.
The pasta dishes were really, really good. This was prepared with a simple tomato sauce. It was just the primi (first course) portion.
I couldn’t eat in Italy without ordering carbonara!
Baked salmon with roasted eggplant and tomatoes. This was the secondi (second course) and contorni (side dish).
No carb left behind. Pizza and all kinds of bread were everywhere.
I’ll post Parts 2 and 3 soon!
How to Make Tsokolate (Filipino Hot Chocolate)… and a Giveaway!
I had the same expectations and thoughts after visiting. We made the best of it by going to Lake Como and eating good food. The pasta! So simple yet so delicious. My husband jokingly referred to it as Mila-no as in don’t go there…lol! We still had a great time.

I often think I'm a thankful person, but it I'm honest, it's always clouded by anxiety and fear of the future. Wondering if my world will be rocked tomorrow, keeps me from embracing God's grace today! Such anxiety cripples true thankfulness!

You Are Here: Home » RELATIONSHIOP TIPS » How to maintain long lasting relationship?
This is very complicated question many people fail to understand this and as a result their relationship came to an end. Many people talk about long term marriage relationship and write articles but some core facts are ignored. The purpose of writing this article is to share my knowledge and experience to maintain a long lasting relationship between wife and husband. Before starting reading this article make your mind, do you really want to maintain the relationship or not?
You cannot only expect taking in a relationship, your habits your likes and dislikes are not only matters. If in a relationship one gives and other take and they think this is love. So here I tell you it is not the beginning of long lasting relationship because this will not help at long term as each individual has its unique identity and needs as a person so apart from love both members should respect the other’s habits and personal qualities. Compromise must be needed from both sides, one side Compromise will frustrate that person. Love is important but bearing one another as they are is the true key of successful relationship.
No matter will be solved by keeping quite. You must talk to each other. Sometimes one of the couple needs a child while other does not this is very important issue you both must talk on it and try to convince other but the communication must be healthy and fruitful. Open and direct communication helps as a oxygen which help the relationship to be alive. There are many issues at home and all must be solved by communication as there is no other way to solve the issues.
I will not ask you to don’t fight at all as it is unnatural. When two people live together they fight on some issues but you must decide correct topic to be fought. You must not create a huge mess on opened cap of toothpaste or wet towel on bed. These are small issues and can be resolved with a smile. Many couples turn such small issues into world war. Don’t do these foolish mistakes if you really want to live with your partner till your old age.
Sometime in the beginning one partner feel so much love for other partner that he or she gives up all his / her need for other partner. One leaves career , child demand or any other thing to support other partner but as an individual person your mind will ask you to do something for you it will create restlessness in you and frustration will increase which start minimizing the love. To prevent this try to be loyal by yourself and don’t sacrifice uselessly. Tell your Partner about your needs.
No one in this likes to be suspected all the time. So trust your partner as he is in your life and he is your part and parcel now. Suspecting the partner will realize him/her that you both are unknown to each other. |

I am constantly being asked about best sellers, top flavours, most popular Toques and I just thought I'd compile a top 10. I hope this is of assistance.
You'll have to buy tons of it to get it into the top 10. It's around the 40 mark.
This is probably addressed elsewhere, but what's the difference between ToqueUSA Whiskey and Honey and Toque Whisky and honey?
Very interesting. Is this from the Toque website sales only or combined with other shops ?
I wonder why Toast&Marmalade isn't in the Top10, ridiculously good craftsmanship.
We want more Infos, I want to see all of the statistics !
This is only from Toque Online. Toast and Marmalade is in the top 20. I'll count the sales and let you know its exact position.
ToqueUSA Whiskey and Honey is on a blend of toast and rustica, flavoured with bourbon whiskey and a couple of other ingredients. Toque Whisky and Honey is on a toasted base and flavoured with malt whisky and other flavourings.
Thanks - sounds like I need to try both!
I'm surprised to see that the Ambrosia made the given that it hasnt been out long.
Aamon, It has sold like crazy. The big ad on the front page really helped to catch peoples attention.
I should also say the top 3 dominate. The old Whisky and Honey used to have the number one spot but has been usurped by the young pretender.
LOL! Don't say that it will go to Aamons head. He takes the credit.
ahahaha no credit due at all, anyway who's the pretty lady on the Ambrosia add?
@Roderick So are you the crazy looking guy on the Silver Dollar Banner ?
This is a great thread. I hope they become regular features.
Are these top 10 by number of tins sold, by grams sold, or by revenue ?
I wish! I'm the daft old guy seen here.
I'm just adding up the kilos of the top sellers. Some of the worst sellers hardly even register a few gram's a week. Violet only sold 20g's this week, Rose only sold 130g's, Champagne 260g's and Lavender 430g's. I'm not giving away the figures for the top sellers. I'm afraid that is too confidential.
I love the Violet and Pomegranate! Oh, and the Whisky and Honey USA!
Only two of the ones in the top sellers list are in my personal top 10 Toque's, but all that does is show how our tastes vary.
These top seven are always close to the top ten or there about. It amazes me what pops in every so often. Raspberry Menthol is a big seller but St Clements is hardly in the top 20. All it takes is a number of 400g bags and a snuff shoots up the list. However the top three are very unlikely to change position and Cheese and Bacon, Whisky and Honey, Natural Toast and Original are always hoping around.
I can't believe cheese and bacon sells at all!
I see a lot of snus and pipe users on FB starting to buy snuff. I always point them to http://www.toquesnuff.com And rave about the service, selections and quality. |
Okay, I admit it, I drank the Italian Kool-Aid wine the month of April last year. I’m also guilty of building daily itineraries-based from months of research, even down to the distance between point A and point B. I kept a diary and tracked all “Euro money” spent by converting the current daily exchange rate, every night before bed, so that I knew exactly how much I had spent.
This was not my first journey to Europe. I’m lucky to say that I can count on all my fingers and some toes, how many times I’ve been there. The exception to this was that I witnessed spring blooming in Tuscany, the Amalfi Coast and Rome, just shy of a month-long trip. Another goal was to live among the Italians, walk their streets in tandem, wash laundry that dried on clotheslines and immerse myself in their lifestyle by taking apartments in all three locations.
I would like to share just a few highlights and the impact on how and why this trip affected me so profoundly — an indelible imprint, which brought me such joy.
Torrents of wind and rain thrashing and splashing sideways greeted us at the Rome airport before our drive of three-plus hours to the walled city of Lucca, which was our home base for nine nights and eight day-trips. Charming Lucca was founded by the Etruscans and became a Roman colony in 180 BC in northern Tuscany.Once the rains stopped, we were amazed to see the vistas surrounding Lucca, the snow-capped Apuan Alps off in the distance, the vineyards beginning to green their woody vines of flowering plants growing on 50-degree slopes going up or down a hill, and the olive trees with their silvery leaves that were beginning to blossom. Immense patches of wildflowers cascaded the countryside in vivid yellow gorse, and fields of red poppies and banks of wild roses ignited my senses.
Our second destination took us six-and-a-half hours from Tuscany, skirting Naples proper, to the Amalfi Coast. Our apartment in Vico Equense was pushed into a crevice, two floors overlooking the Bay of Naples and the Tyrrhenian Sea, with glorious patio views and church bells that chimed in late afternoon.
The Lattari Mountains colonize homes dripping down or nestled in between valleys sliced into the hills, gushes of lemon tree orchards with bright green netting protecting them as they grow to the size of grapefruits were everywhere, narrow streets literally the width of an American minivan and the occasional tour buses listing and belching past, motorcycles veering in and out of traffic, and last but not least, hairpin turns everywhere. Seven miles can literally take 45 minutes at five miles per hour.
The estate of Ravello (a known favorite of Grace Kelly and Jacqueline Kennedy), 19 miles from our apartment, took us an hour to drive. No guard rails, traversing one mountain belt to another, European toy-sized cars, more tour buses, white knuckles stuck to the steering wheel or me holding on for dear life grabbing the dashboard, and massive grey mesh support sheeting drilled into the sides of the mountains for safety from falling rock and debris. We finally reached yet another high ground, cutting through the mountain to our final destination. The higher we went, the cloudier it became and after touring the estate and the abundant gardens, we lunched under a tremendous purple and white wisteria trellis, had our daily half-carafe of wine, and were transfixed literally in the clouds. It was otherworldly.
On to Rome, in our 5th-floor (top floor) apartment and on our patio that overlooked an inside courtyard akin to “Rear Window,” we clearly heard Italian conversations, smelled the aroma of Italian cooking, and saw laundry hanging on lines to dry, ours included, since there are no dryers. Simply, roaming Rome and either revisiting favorite sites or finding new ones, each day was filled with sunshine and azure blue skies, a blue that is indescribable and unforgettable. Lunch was at two o’clock, and dinner was at eight o’clock, with an afternoon break when everything shuts down and reopens at dusk.
I assume by now that you understand the gist of how we travel. There were no scheduled tours, no time requirements or restraints, no guides with microphones nor air-conditioned buses. We had the freedom to drive our Fiat 500 equipped with a soft-top and came and went as we pleased on our own time, driving at 120 km per hour totaling 1,400 miles before dropping the car in Rome. Thanks to modern technology, we were able to use our phones that guided us where to drive to a destination while in Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. Once we were in Rome that technology became invaluable information for directions and distance it would take on foot or where to find the closest streetcar or hop on a bus to traverse Rome to reach our apartment two blocks from the American Embassy.
It was mid-April while we were on the Isle of Capri that I found myself again — almost a reintroduction of the innocent child that I had cast away and forgotten about decades ago. I was at peace, content, living in the moment, introspective and grounded, and my only desire was to retain the light that ignited my soul and transformed me.
No, it wasn’t the Italian wine, the food, the cooking class, nor the mountains or sea or the breathtaking sights, or the ruins, the history, the art, the serene churches, Florence, Pistoia, Sienna, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Rome, or the Caravaggio’s, Michelangelo, da Vinci, Bernini, and Borromini masters; this went much deeper within me, a profound epiphany. My perspective changed about how I view myself, how to prioritize, how to maintain my own tranquility and how to think and process and balance my internal self — in a much larger world than the one I thought I was living in. People will ask me now, “Aren’t you sad to be back?” I don’t think my answer will ever change: I tell them, “I haven’t left Italy, I’m still there.” Guilty as charged, I drank the Italian Kool-Aid wine and loved every drop!

Agriculture, energy, holidays, mobility or living – the clips should inspire and show that new and sustainable ways in all walks of life and sectors are possible. To make with, is actually nothing more than a cell phone – or hobby camera needed. The submitted films must even filmed, and must be no longer than three minutes.

Each participant may submit up to three rolling clips by E-Mail or post at the BIO-hotels.

A hotel cheque for 5,000 euros, as well as an additional 5,000 euros await the first winners in cash. |
We’re building a new house, and what better way to get in when you have all the walls open to begin with. I was wondering if you had any recommendations? Maybe you could do a blog post on things you’ve learned or would do differently.
With Insteon, the concept of switch-to-circuit location isn’t as important. For example, many homes have a panel of 4-5 switches by their front door to control things like the porch lights, the chandelier, the stair lights, the hallway, etc. But in one client house we actually installed all the switches for those circuits in a closet nearby. So if there was traditional wiring, you’d actually have to open the closet door to turn on any of those lights because those switches controlled those circuits. But since this was Insteon, we were able to install a single circuit by the front door that controlled the porch light. But instead of having a simple switch there, we installed a KeypadLinc that would remotely control all those other switches/circuits hidden in the closet. You don’t HAVE to do this, and could wire your house completely “normally” (useful if maybe you want to yank out the Insteon system at some future date), but having a single Keypad with 8 buttons gives a cleaner look than a bank of a half-dozen switches. In my house I did Insteon as a retrofit, so I had a 3-gang box by the front door for the stairs, porch, and chandelier. I replaced one of the receptacles with a KeypadLinc, so my setup doesn’t look as clean but has the same effect – plus I can turn off a bunch of OTHER lights in the house on my way out the door.
The wiring for 3-way circuits is different. Specifically, say you have stairs that need a switch at the top and bottom to control the lights. Normally you’d do this “mechanically” so that both switches control the lights with a toggle. But with Insteon, you power both switches independently. Only one of them actually controls the lights – and the other one sends digital signals to the first to tell it to turn on. See this post for a refresher on how this works.
Centralize control/media room. I’d try to find a “server room” if you have space somewhere, even if it’s just an out-of-the-way closet. Definitely ask your builder to give it great A/C ventilation – make sure at least they put one or two A/C vents in there to keep things cool, which is something they won’t do by default (because normally people don’t worry about their coats getting warm).
Wire Cat6a ethernet cable everywhere. Wire high-quality in-wall CAT6a or CAT7 ethernet cable EVERYWHERE going back to that server room – even non-obvious places where think you might someday need it. For example, I’d definitely do two cable runs to each TV location (one for HDMI signal, and the other for actual network connection to smart TV). But also think about, for example, where you might like security cameras or other network devices. Using PoE (power over Ethernet) you get a two-fer for security cameras – one, you don’t need a power outlet, and two, you’re not congesting your wifi network with wireless IP camera traffic. This installation would have been much easier if I just had an Ethernet cable going to that location, either from under the eave or on the inner wall. One thing to note here is that you should always make sure the cable is rated for “in-wall” installations, and you use the best cable you can to future-proof as much as possible. At the moment, that’s probably going to be Cat6a (which, if you’re familiar with network cables, means each individual twisted pair is shielded to prevent interference) rather than Cat7 (which isn’t even an official standard yet, and I haven’t had much luck finding in-wall version of this cable).
Consider ethernet cable for low-voltage wire runs. I’d also consider running LOW voltage wire (or even Ethernet cable as well, which can handle low amounts of power) to all places where you’d may want to install devices, such as motion sensors, open/close sensors, or even a wall-mounted display. That way, you could centralize power distribution with a DC Adapter, and not have to worry about replacing batteries.
Consider “unconventional” uses of running in-wall cable before the drywall goes up. I’ve been working on and off for years on automating my blinds but never committed a huge amount to it yet. I have one window wired with a battery-operated motor (see picture at bottom of this post). As I consider a full-house implementation, I find myself wishing I had an Ethernet cable running above all the windows in the house to be able to tap in with control wires and power, so that I wouldn’t need to battery-power these things and could control the blinds from a button on the wall. That’s probably a little “out-there” when considering the kind of wiring you actually want to put in-wall, but you can get 1000 feet of in-wall Ethernet cable for pretty cheap so it’s a drop in the bucket cost-wise when building a house (another thing to consider, though is the cost for the electrican to run all that wire). |

It’s not even six months since Donald J. Trump took office as the 45th president of the United States, but New Yorkers are already seeing a mainstream play, Building the Wall, about his policies. Its writer is Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan (All the Way), who specializes in political drama, and its two actors are the highly regarded James Badge Dale and Tamara Tunie. Such a rapid response to national politics is a theatrical rarity and speaks to the urgency so many feel regarding our current administration.
From the moment two years ago that Trump announced he’d be running for president, not a day has passed when his name hasn’t dominated the news cycle. Mainstream theater, though, usually takes its sweet time to weigh in on current events. For one reason, today’s breaking news quickly becomes ancient history. For another—and this applies to Building the Wall (written in a week)—serious political playwriting shouldn’t be rushed.
In recent months every other play—even classical revivals—seems to have had at least one comic zinger viewable as a satirical shot at the Commander-in-Chief. It reminds me of how audiences in repressive regimes laugh at superficially innocuous lines they interpret as coded messages. But there are no codes in Building the Wall, which, as its title implies, makes no bones about being tied directly to the president’s xenophobic immigration policies.
Set two years from now, the 80-minute play takes place in the steel-gray meeting room (realistically designed by Antje Ellerman and coolly lit by Tyler Micoleau) of a prison in El Paso, Texas. Badge, wearing a prisoner’s orange jumpsuit, is Rick, a Texas-accented, former military man and prison supervisor awaiting execution. The other character is Gloria, an African-American professor who’s come to interview Rick about his crime for a book she plans to write.
Rick was advised not to speak in his own defense during the trial, so Gloria has come to find out the real truth behind what he did. Once he overcomes his initial suspicion of her motives, Rick explains why he believes as strongly as he does in Trump, whose policies led to what caused his eventual imprisonment.
What he says, though, is just a repetition of all the usual Fox News talking points, just as his Hillary Clinton snipes repeat the standard conservative line. There are no surprises here but, for all its irritating familiarity, hearing the issues bantered back and forth between two solid actors has a certain fascination.
Then we get to Rick’s crime. Schenkkan imagines that, following a horrific terrorist act in Times Square, the Trump administration instituted martial law and began incarcerating huge numbers of immigrants. When Rick’s for-profit prison proved increasingly unable to handle the massive overcrowding, and his bottom-line sensitive corporate bosses refused to take responsibility for the nightmarish aftermath, he fell into the trap of believing that desperate times call for desperate measures. Thus his present situation.
Riveting as much of this is, it fails the credibility test. It’s impossible to believe that the “truth” of an incident that makes Abu Ghraib sound like kindergarten hazing is being revealed only in a prison interview with an academic. Did Trump jail the entire media along with the immigrants? It’s also impossible, among other things, to believe that the level of atrocity involved went unreported until it was eventually leaked in yet another implausible development.
Ari Edelson’s direction, helped by Bart Fasbender’s subtly threatening soundscape, manages to maintain the tension but has a few blocking problems. Gloria sometimes takes detailed notes at a table and sometimes doesn’t, although everything Rick says has weight. When, presumably for visual variety, she abandons her notes to talk with him downstage, the prospective accuracy of her reporting flies the coop.
Although neither character is fully believable, Dale does a good job at humanizing Rick’s jittery combination of defiance and guilt. Gloria, however, does little but ask questions, and Tunie can do little to make her anything but a stock character from a TV procedural.
Every day of the current administration provides enough drama for a play based on fact, not farfetched speculation, as to what might and might not occur. While it’s easy enough to sympathize with a critical response to any number of Trump’s policies and their potential implications it would be easier still if such a response hewed closer to reality. That, sad to say, is frightening enough. |

So basically with the money I've spent on Clairol Hydrience I could have gone just to a salon in the first place and had somebody with a brain smack me upside the head, tell me what a dumb idea it would be to darken my hair, and spruce up the fabulous color I already had.
If this doen't work tomorrow I'm going to cry like a baby. Yes, I am such a GIRL. And no, I will not post any pictures!
Oh Tracey! If I was closer, I'd volunteer to watch your girls so you could go to the salon because I KNOW how much a woman's hair means!!
It will all be okay--it may just take some time to get it back to normal. But no more fussing with those pretty blond locks once it's fixed!
Tracey, I think it best that you get thee to a salon. It's not possible to "dye" your hair a lighter color once you've applied a darker color. If you originally had darker hair, you'd have to bleach it first in order to go blonde. You have to take out the darker color - aka bleach it. Hydrience is a permanent color - meaning it can't be washed out. Since you're not in the habit of coloring your hair, I'm sure that getting this fixed will not do too much damage. Have the processing done first and then get the ends cut off if they look too dry. |
This is a motto sampler I’m working on for my friend Katherine. She’s a graphic designer so I wanted to have fun with the typography. I stole the lettering from a motivational poster I saw on pinterest. I liked the colours and how they changed when the letters overlapped. The entire sampler is done in split stitch with one strand of DMC embroidery thread. It’s slow going but I am very pleased with it so far! With the ‘Live and Let Die‘ motto sampler I found that I had to choose between following the lines of pattern I drew or following the grain of the fabric. This time I marked the grain/weave of the fabric with black thread and then drew the pattern on in line with it. It helped!
You can see how I marked the weave of the fabric with black thread. This helped keep my stitches straight.
The ‘O’ is shaped like an old school bomb.

A Message to students and staff from Mr Horstrup: As Friday morning was my first experience of Remembrance Day at DGSB, I just wanted to thank you all for what was a tremendously moving event. My particular thanks must go to Mr Rosier and Mrs Simes for their hard work in preparing the event, and to the students who read, sang and took part as members of our CCF. You all did a tremendous job. I would also like to add that I was incredibly impressed by - and very proud of - the way in which every student observed the formality of the occasion with the respect and solemnity that it deserves; it speaks volumes for our school and for everybody who works within it, that such a large number of people can come together and remember the service of others in such a respectful manner. As your Headteacher, I feel privileged to lead a school where events such as this are observed in such a wonderful way - thank you.

Unlike other Medical text, Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are written by doctors in a clinical setting. As EMRs are relatively new themselves, they lack well defined standards for input and doctors usually write them in free-form dictation These form of text lack proper sentence structure and contain numerous acronyms that only appear in such context, making it difficult to apply current parsing techniques to discover semantic meanings of the text. In this project, methods to identify unknown acronym terms in EMRs and disambiguate their meaning are explored and developed. To better apply automated processes, the EMRs are first pre-processed to restructure their text into a more defined format. Finally these unknown acronym terms are marked up for future use. Results obtained from the formatting of the EMRs showed a precision of 100% and a recall of 67.93%. Initial extraction of acronym-value pairs from the EMRs resulted in 2329 extracted terms with 68.14% true positives, the implementation of an exclusion list, consisting of recurring false positives increased the true positives to 90.99%. While the automated disambiguation process of these true positives could not be implemented, distinct patterns for 31 acronyms were identified which can be used to disambiguate their occurrence in EMRs. |
