Hi Michael
Thanks for the info.
In the account that prompted the offer of an upgrade - neil(at)yahoodie(.)co(.)uk - I bought the SuperSuite (entire) plus PowerStore and PowerGallery solutions. (In my other - i.e. this - account, I have about 1/2 of the products). I wanted the other rest of the products, and it was cheaper for me at the time to purchase the whole suite rather than the individual items, which I did under the yahoodie address!)
I was confused by the offer of an upgrade , but you have cleared it up.

Today, let's talk about ending sentences with prepositions. Your English teacher told you not do it. Your textbooks told you not do it. But, is this really a rule that you should follow?
It turns out that a sentence ending preposition is a rather divisive issue. Increasingly, people are questioning this basic rule of grammar. The argument usually centers around the fact that avoiding a preposition at the end of a sentence really has nothing to do with the English language. This practice comes from Latin. Encouraging people to write this way produces a style that is closer to the style of Latin. This is undoubtedly true.
As many of you know, English has several roots, but the lexicon is primarily derived from Anglo-Saxon and French words. French is a direct descendant of Latin. Throughout the history of Modern English (and still persisting today) is a stigma against the blue collar Anglo-Saxon words. Latin derived words are perceived as more intellectual and indicative of the upper class. J.R.R. Tolkien was frustrated by the use of the word "autumn" (French) when there was a perfectly good word for the same concept, "fall" (Anglo-Saxon). This is fodder for a separate discussion. For now we just need to remember that this stigma exists and that several of our grammar "rules" exist to perpetuate this stigma.
Still, I'm not sure that this is reason enough to throw out this particular rule. Is structuring a sentence like Latin such a bad thing? In my opinion, a better argument against this rule is the fact that it applies only to written English. I rarely end a sentence with a preposition when I'm writing, but, mindful as I am of the rule, I often break the rule when speaking. There's something mildly unsettling about that kind of division.
In the end, what should you do? That is, of course, up to you. My advice is to try following the rule. Like any rule of grammar, if you break it, break it consciously. Being more mindful of how you are structuring your sentence can't be a bad thing.

To help the World Food Programme fulfill its missions, Renault Trucks is deploying a mobile training team in five East African countries for three months to train WFP mechanics in the most advanced maintenance and servicing techniques. An assignment which highlights Renault Trucks' commitment to the WFP, and an adventure which enables trucks to make a direct contribution to helping some of the world's poorest people.
The World Food Programme is a United Nations agency whose main purpose is to combat hunger in the world and provide food to people in some of the poorest parts of the globe. It goes without saying that trucks play a pivotal role in the associated logistics system, bringing them into direct contact with those having the most urgent need. There are over one hundred Renault Trucks vehicles in the WFP's fleet, invariably carrying food supplies to their destination under the harshest conditions imaginable.
To make their work easier, Renault Trucks is doing even more. The manufacturer knows that well maintained vehicles benefit from greater mobility and can perform their function better. A Kerax 6x6 configured as a mobile training unit and a team of technicians have therefore been sent out to instruct the WFP's mechanics in East Africa, passing on their expertise in HGV maintenance and repair. From Kenya to Uganda, Southern Sudan, Ruanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and finally Burundi, this adventure will last for three months, during which the WFP's staff will be trained practically on site.
With this initiative, Renault Trucks demonstrates its determination to contribute to the development of the African continent with which it has very close ties. By making its expertise as an HGV manufacturer available to the World Food Programme, Renault Trucks is asserting the key role played by trucks in the poorest regions of the world, where they often provide a vital link in the effort to save lives.
A Kerax 6x6 on an unusual mission puts to sea on a cargo ship heading for Mombasa, Kenya.
Several months' intensive preparation went into organizing this unusual operation. It involved choosing the right vehicle, converting its bodywork into a mobile training unit and mobilizing technicians, drivers and instructors to define a customised training programme. The commitment of Renault Trucks and its staff fully reflects the importance of the mission they have been entrusted with: to pass on their knowledge of trucks and their maintenance to the World Food Programme's teams of African mechanics so that deliveries of food supplies to the poor and needy can be maintained under the best possible conditions.
This mobile training unit will be covering 5,000 kilometres from Mombasa (Kenya) to Bujumbura (Burundi) to train the WFP's local mechanics in the field. The Renault Trucks instructors will be carrying out this mission with a Kerax 6x4 fitted with all the instructional equipment and tools needed to provide participants with the skills they need to keep trucks in service, whatever the circumstances.
The Kerax was an obvious choice for this mission. It is a vehicle acknowledged for its robustness and mobility under all circumstances, well-known for its prowess on construction sites all over the world and for its performance on expeditions such as the Silk Road in 2005 and the Cape to Cape as well as on rally-raids such as the Dakar.
Its body is perfectly suited to carrying all types of equipment in perfect safety – a key requisite, since its mission involves transporting specially prepared mechanical units used for instructional purposes during the training given to the WFP mechanics.
From November to December, five training sessions in English or French will be organized at the World Food Programme's main bases in sub-Saharan Africa: Kampala in Uganda, Juba in South Sudan, Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Kigali in Rwanda and Bujumbura in Burundi.
The World Food Programme - Key figures:
90 million people supplied with food
Active in 74 countries
A workforce of 11,000 worldwide
3,000 warehouses
40 ships
60 aircraft
5,000 trucks (out of which the WFP owns 700)

Whether you're running a business or using a computer at home, you'll no doubt understand the importance of IT support. We all rely on our PCs and our handheld devices for everything from online banking to the day-to-day business tasks that bring in our income, which is why our IT services should all be carefully considered and why it's vital to have contact details for IT support professionals.
Of course, things are changing. It used to be the case that you'd contact someone for IT support and they'd drive to your home or office. They'd sit down in front of your computer, and could diagnose the problem and fix it on the spot. Now, IT support services work a little differently.
IT Support Services and the Cloud
Very few people now use their computer as a stand-alone system. Most people are connected to the internet, and are making use of the cloud. You might use online software (Software as a Service), or store your files on a Dropbox server.
If you need IT support then you might find that you no longer need to see someone in person. You might be able to discuss the problem over the phone, send an email or connect using Skype or a similar instant messaging service. Your problem can potentially be solved remotely or at least diagnosed off-site.
That's great news for you, as it's usually quicker and a little more cost-effective. IT support companies are able to lower their prices because they're not travelling to visit everyone that calls for help.
IT Support Services and Multiple Devices
Long gone are the days when an IT support service covered only PCs and Macs. Now, we're using a wider range of devices to get online, do our work and chat with our friends. You might find that you need IT services not for your computer but for your iPad, your wireless router or your mobile phone. Everything's connected, which means that internet downtime can be even more disastrous than a broken PC.
IT support providers don't just fix computer problems any more. In fact, you might call just for advice. A good IT support provider won't just be there when things go wrong – they'll also be there to help you decide which equipment you need, which pieces of software you should install and which devices best suit your needs.
IT Support Services and Disaster Planning
It's best to be in contact with an IT support professional long before you think you need their service. That way, if something goes wrong, it's easy to get in touch and ask for their help. Early contact with an IT support company can also provide you with the opportunity to check that your computer systems are safe and secure, with software and hardware protected from viruses and physical damage. IT support companies can check that you're using the right cables, that there are no fire risks and that your company computers aren't vulnerable.
Everyone can benefit from professional IT support, even if they think that they're pretty good with a computer, but those most in need are business owners that don't understand the technical details. That's particularly true now that scam callers are targeting computer owners by promising remote support for a virus that doesn't exist. It's always helpful to have peace of mind, and to know that if you receive a worrying call then you can put down the phone and get in touch with an IT support professional that you know you can trust.
Have you used IT support services? We'd love it if you'd share your experience.

Atiyeh Bros. provides residential and commercial wall-to-wall carpet cleaning with state-of-the-art equipment and eco-friendly cleaning methods. Our commitment to quality means that, from the initial bid to the finished work, you'll encounter the same high level of professionalism and expertise you expect from working with Atiyeh Bros. Industry standards (IICRC) recommend carpets be cleaned every 18 months.
Unlike other carpet cleaning companies, we don't charge by the room. We provide no obligation, in-home estimates that are not based on pricing gimmicks. We tour your carpeted areas with you, discussing the level of cleaning required, and we clean only those areas in need—saving you time and money.
For the healthiest home and the most beautiful carpet, professional carpet cleaning is a must. A do-it-yourself carpet shampoo or steam cleaning is no substitute for professional carpet cleaning. Home rug shampooers can only reach the top surface of the carpet's pile, effectively pushing contaminants and soil deeper into the carpet. Our truck-mounted hot water extraction carpet cleaning is the method recommended by carpet manufacturers.
Hot water extraction is extremely effective at removing not only stains and dirt, but also odor-causing bacteria, dust mites and pet dander—all the things that can contribute to poor indoor air quality and affect allergies and breathing.
Read more about our carpet cleaning process.
Atiyeh Bros. is an IICRC certified carpet cleaning business. IICRC, or Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification, independently verifies that a business:
Our IICRC certified technicians are rigorously trained and tested. With years of experience, they're extremely knowledgeable about the best ways to treat stains—including pet damage. Our courteous, professional technicians are people you'll be comfortable having in your home.
Call to schedule an appointment with one of our carpet cleaning technicians. We'll meet you at your home, measure the areas that need cleaning, and provide a no-obligation estimate.

"Nobody likes being labeled, especially not artists. So use the term "street art" or "graffiti artist" with care (a new term being thrown around is "independent public art"), most artists will have some sort of qualm with the terms or not identify with them at all. Call it what you like, but it is undeniable that there are some true artists working on the street and they are becoming the art world's rock stars."

Pet sock wars.
The schnoodles have a fetish for socks, and from time to time, they'll sneak into my sock drawer and start dragging them outside. This is what greeted me when I went out the back door this morning to check on the carrots. There are actually three socks in the photo--one in the foreground, and two behind Gracie. A fourth was on the back porch. A fifth was under a bush.
I think they had heard about the sock wars over on Kate's blogsite, and wanted to get in on the action...
I love how they are looking around, as if to say, "Who dragged out all these socks?"

Ahhhh...What rascals!ReplyDelete
Hilarious! What are schnoodles? Schnauzer/poodles? Do you have any socks left for your feet? I mean, I know it's warm down your way but still...ReplyDelete
Schnoodles are indeed a schnauzer/poodle mix. These little scamps were pound puppies that had been rescued by the Humane Society. They lived the first two years of their lives in a cage, and they are still skittish little things. They couldn't be sweeter, though, and they are full of mischief.ReplyDelete
Just imagine--if you hadn't gone to look at the carrots, you might be sockless! My grand-dog likes socks too.ReplyDelete
I made you a victim on my blog--go see!
My cat Jess has exactly the same fetish!ReplyDelete
That's funny, VP! What do you suppose it is about socks?ReplyDelete
Actually pulling them out of the drawer? Sounds like a well-planned manoever. I wonder whether James A-S is training dogs in his spare time....ReplyDelete
Well, it's an open drawer, Kate, so it's scampy, but not all that hard for them to do. :-)ReplyDelete

When did you start CrossFit?
What is your athletic background?
I love to box (title), distance jog/run, I've completed two tough mudders and will be signing up for my third. I recently started playing slow pitch softball and just got back to Crossfit.
How I eat:
I eat as clean as I can. I do indulge from time to time with family and loved ones; what can I say, I'm human 🙂
Why I Crossfit:
Why I decided to CrossFit... mostly because it feels great! Looking great is a must for me too; I'm 40, fitness and health help keep me young and strong 🙂 I started crossfit to prepare for the Komen 5K a few years ago so that I could honor a dear friend battling breast cancer. Vicky continues to be my inspiration, as I trained I witnessed her valiant fight until the end, without ever complaining. If she could do it, there's no excuse for anyone to limit their physical and mental abilities when it comes to "giving it all you got". Vicky is in heaven now, but she made sure to leave her legacy of brut strength and will power to those that were blessed to know her.
Back to the directory.

German parliamentary elections – Merkel's choice
Seldom have parliamentary elections in an EU member state attracted such levels of attention and interest from its European partners and neighbours as those that took place yesterday in Germany.
For many in Europe, it was clear from the outset that Angela Merkel would continue to head up the German government. But what conclusions would be drawn from the results for her Christian Democrats and potential partners? Will a new alliance pursue different policies?
This snapshot tries to find the answers.
That Angela Merkel remains Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany will not come as a surprise to anyone in Germany or Europe. That she just missed out on an absolute majority for her Christian Democrats, however, may well have surprised the Chancellor herself. The victory for the CDU is without doubt her personal achievement. Ridiculed for years as a political mishap, a historical gaffe following reunification, the East German Protestant has engaged with the heart of German society. She has modernised the CDU without entering into detailed discussions. She was the first to recognise that practicality and competency count for more today than ideology and polarisation, and she has used her own analytical power and nerve to guide Germany through the crisis. And what's more, Angela Merkel keeps her feet on the ground when others had long since become airborne. Even now, she can be found doing her weekly shop in the supermarket round the corner. Aware of the influence she exerts, she nevertheless remains incapable of succumbing to the trappings of power. She scored a victory yesterday, but she did not crow about it. This is why the Germans like her, and they have given her their trust.
But Ms Merkel also knows that she has now reached the zenith of her power. There is nothing left to conquer; from now on, the aim is to safeguard and consolidate. The first task is to seek out a new majority, after her previous partners, the liberal FDP, were ejected from the Bundestag for the first time in more than 60 years. The Liberals' parliamentary demise indicates that, for now, no one civic camp can lay claim to their own majority – the union parties must look to the left to find a partner. From a purely mathematical perspective, the Chancellor could establish a stable majority with any of the parties remaining in government: the Social Democrats, the Greens, or the Left Party, the heirs to the former East German unity party. In actuality the focus will be on the Greens or the Social Democrats, and the Greens hold the better cards from a strategic standpoint: No longer able to make great demands, they will force the CDU to make fewer concessions; they would be more acceptable to the strengthened Christian Social Union from Bavaria, and they would open the door to the leftwing camp for the CDU and CSU. Were it to come to this, Ms Merkel would be the first Chancellor in history to have a different partner by her side in each legislative period.

We have introduced plenty of Advanced Applications that can be found for you 100% free with the Indo Hosting Control Panel! They are designed for web developers and for online marketers who would like to manage their web hosting setting by themselves. You can quickly make an .htaccess file, replace the PHP release for your personal hosting account, alter the php.ini file, configure a number of automatic chores and scripts, plus much more!
All Advanced Applications adhere to the design pattern of our Control Panel, making them genuinely easy–to–navigate.
Hotlink Protection
Safeguard yourself against bandwidth theft
From our Indo Hosting Control Panel, you're able to instantaneously shield all of the pictures on your websites from being used anywhere else without having your approval. And you can now make it happen with only a couple of clicks working with Indo Hosting's Hotlink Protection tool.
Everything you need to do is opt for the domain you intend to defend and then switch on the Hotlink Protection. Adjustments are going to take effect at once and your visuals will be protected against not authorized use and bandwidth thievery.

Auto generation of .htaccess files
At Indo Hosting, you will get accessibility to the .htaccess file of your respective web site, which means you can make as much modifications as you want.

With the impressive .htaccess Generator inside the Control Panel, you will not need to possess any knowledge about .htaccess files. Just convey to the tool what you need to perform and for which site, and then also click the Save button. The clever platform will generate the .htaccess file to best suit your specific needs within seconds.
IP blocking
Prevent malevolent IP addresses from your site
Once you have a hot site, at some point you become a target to spammers and malicious site visitors. It is easy to defend all your sites from such behavior using the IP blocking tool integrated into the Control Panel. The tool can assist you to efficiently block out an IP address or even a whole array of IP addresses with merely a mouse–click.

We offer a efficient user interface, which enables you to swiftly modify the most vital PHP adjustments. At any moment, you can also get back to the default configuration so as to bring back a back up copy.
Cron Jobs
Set automated planned tasks
If there is some survey you need to conduct each day, or if there's a number of automated chores you need your site to do, then cron jobs are exactly the thing you need. Through the Indo Hosting Control Panel, you can quickly set up and be in charge of various cron jobs. We've got launched an uncomplicated method to create a cron job.

Password Protection

Thoughts On Mind-Wandering And Reflection./
"Mind-wandering is the by-product of two important mental capacities: the ability to disengage from perception (ignoring something that's present), and the ability to engage in "meta-awareness" (focusing on our own thoughts)."
The recent article at Fast Company titled "The Scientific Benefits Of Mind-Wandering" focuses on the benefits of "mind-wandering" - "the tendency to have thoughts unrelated to your current task" - on creativity. But as I read the above statement, I found myself thinking about the Science of the Positive (Spirit-Action-Science-Return), specifically the Return stage - where the Return also means reflection - and how important the components of mind-wandering are to our ability to reflect. I'm curious what you think about this association, as well as, what you do when you want to reflect. I'm also hoping you will share your thoughts in the Comments section below. Thanks.

When We Party it's a Party of Five on Primrose Dihedrals
"One tower is worth five big walls" said Layton Kor. Then is Moses, the highest and most shapely tower in Canyonlands National Park, worth five climbers? Since Shay emphasized how much of a cluster it was to climb Moses' Primrose Dihedrals route as a party of three we decided to go as a party of five! Hopefully two more people could solve those logistical issues... Right?
Further logic went like this: Andre, Michelle, Angelina and Konstantin are all stronger climbers, but Ben is fast, so why not have Ben lead all of the pitches? Makes about as much sense as driving 14 hours to Moab from San Diego for a long weekend of climbing, no? And as much sense as driving a Honda Fit down a notoriously washed out 4wd road a dozen miles to approach Moses, too. As genius as not getting gas and taking back roads that leave the tank empty as the sun sets on us in the town of Glamis, California, population 6. Or after getting rescued by AAA, filling up at a gas station whose name was "NO BRAND." Our posse was full of wacky ideas on this trip! (See here for pics of other shenanigans and climbs on the trip, mostly Indian Creek.)
Well sometimes the adventure is the important thing, and things that don't make sense at all can be the most fun! When this cockamamie plan seemed to actually be adopted, I didn't complain, because instead of only the 10+ wide hands pitch lead to look forward to, I now would also get the highly regarded ringlocks 10+, the ear pitch, and the nut corner as well! In all, eight pitches of one of the very most highly regarded desert tower routes awaited! And then we'd be down in time to celebrate Konstantin's birthday. His present was the climb, and we'd celebrate it with watermelon and Stone beer!
The plan was set: I would gun and Andre would follow with the camera on the first rope. The second (photogenic) rope was the party of three, the two ladies and pretty boy Konstantin who alternated leads and basked in the limelight of Andre's photoshoot (see the gallery at the end of the post). This actually turned out well, as I was able to rest a lot as the party of three climbed and showed their beautiful crack-grunting faces to the camera. The party of five juggernaut allowed me and everyone else sufficient rest to onsight blitz all of the pitches. Onsight all, that is, except the ear, a giant 11b wide/ lieback flake that is also the most amazing pitch of the route, as well as the most sustained and burly.
Despite our relaxed attitude, the grade IV rating, and our unwieldy party size, the climb went pretty quickly; we even linked pitches a few times. Two granola bars and one liter of water was just enough, and Andre and I, the two vegetarians, vegged out on the summit for an hour or so waiting for the others to finish the Ear and come on up. Five on top! Time to party!
Ben on pitch 6, the Ear
The grades were not sandbagged IMO, despite what some trip reports (here's a great one by Black Diamond Athlete Brittany Griffith) seem to claim. The route is definitely sustained, and there are no gimmie pitches, but aside from pitch 6, the ear, I only felt I really worked it to my limit for pitch 2, the ringlocks. And the quality and variety of the climbing was great--no two pitches were similar.
Above all else, the Moses summit was incredible even ignoring the excellent climbing to get there. There was one other party doing some aid line on the nearby tower Zeus, but as a non-clustered party of two on a shorter tower, they were done by the time we summited. No one else on Moses or in the entire area-- our voices echoes four and five times across the vastness of the Canyonlands National Park backcountry! Times five people, that's 20 + echoes! We read the notoriously-in-bad-taste summit log and contributed our own drawing. Then we all took summit shots and did the picturesque rappel down, with plenty of light for a birthday party and for the drive out.
Primrose Dihedrals had been on my radar for a long time, but until I got a copy this past week I didn't know it appeared in the 50 Favorites book, a ticklist which is essentially a beefed up version--20+ years later-- of the 50 Classics list. 50 mostly 5.11's instead of mostly 5.8's. Turns out I have climbed more in the Favorites (4) book than in the Classics (3). Well, those are just someone else's opinion; my favorite climb, Zoroaster Temple is not even in either and the Sierra Nevada's best climb, Michael Strassman Memorial Route, isn't even in any guidebook! Not to worry, Pullharder makes our own Favorite Climbs lists!
No need to blitz every route. Even Pullharder sometimes has to stop and smell the flowers!

Mobile, Alabama - Location might reign supreme when scouting the perfect location for a startup business, but timing could be the deciding factor for downtown Mobile's newest Dauphin Street eatery.
Indeed, when the throngs of music fans descending on downtown Mobile this weekend for BayFest find themselves tired and hungry, Pita Pit franchise owners Carlos Serrano and Matthew Lemond are ready and waiting to offer patrons healthy fare and a healthy dose of pride in the city's entertainment district.
"Our initial plan was to be open by Beer Fest, and we missed that, but we knew we absolutely couldn't miss BayFest. It brings a lot of people downtown from outside the area down here, and we really want to be part of letting them know what's available and how lively things are getting," said Lemond, 27, who also owns O'Daly's Irish Pub just three blocks down Dauphin Street.
Lemond, a New Orleans native, was actually introduced to the Coeur d'Alene, Idaho-based Pita Pit in his hometown, and when his path crossed Serrano's, he knew he'd found the right partner.
"You just can't ignore the tourism aspect driving people downtown this weekend who might not otherwise make it out, and we're hoping to capitalize on that," said Serrano, 23, who graduated recently from Spring Hill College where he studied finance and economics.
Given that training, Serrano is well-aware the U.S. Small Business Association estimates one-third of small business startups fail in the first two years and less than half make it to year four, so what exactly prompted him to take the plunge?
"I enjoy the challenge. Whether it's the actual service, going over the financials or working on the back-of-the-house responsibilities, I find the logistics challenging but rewarding," said Serrano, noting the corporate training and guidance he and Lemond received from Pita Pit more than offset any lack of professional experience.
Meanwhile, Lemond became acquainted with the downtown Mobile scene as a bartender and deejay during college and has parlayed that arsenal of contacts into an air-tight entrepreneurial network.
"I'm really comfortable down here, and it's nice to know we can bring something to the market it's been missing," Lemond said, noting the first time he ate at a late-night Pita Pit in New Orleans he was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients and the total lack of guilt the next morning.
"We just felt like our product really speaks to the business and the lunch crowds because we know we can provide quick food that tastes great, but then we also have the late-night angle. With the entertainment district we felt like we could capture both ends of that spectrum," Serrano said, noting the eatery will be open until 3:30 a.m., offers catering and will offer limited delivery downtown and to portions of midtown.
"We're hoping that with BayFest we'll be able to produce a quality product with speedy service that gets people right back out there or maybe just gives some of them a place to catch a little break from the crowd, have a nice meal and enjoy the air conditioning," he said.

Typically I am not a brand-centric person. I consider myself to be more of an "equal opportunity shopper". If a product catches my eye and seems to be of relatively good quality, then I might just get it. However, like most things in life, there are a few exceptions to the rule. There are some brand-name products that I just have to get based on their quality. I find that splurging a little every now and then really pays off when the product has a long life and I can get a ton of use out of it.
True Religion Jeans
I truly "worship" this brand of jeans. I haven't met a pair of their jeans that I haven't liked. Whether it's True Religion's classic horseshoe stitching on the back, the excellent stretch-memory of the high quality denim, or plethora of cuts and washes, True Religion jeans are always worth it.

Essie Nail Polish
I was recently introduced to Essie nail polish through a friend of mine and the results are in…I love it! Never again will I buy a different brand of nail polish. What make Essie so wonderful is their array of cute colors that are sassily named. Essie nail polishes are salon quality, but can easily be found in drug stores and super centers. An added bonus: I'm on day five of "Mint Candy Apple" and there are no chips in sight.

Smith's Rosebud Salve
Light. Non-greasy. Moisturizing. Fragrant. When you are living in a climate that's seasons are pre-winter, winter, post-winter, and more winter (such as I am), a good balm is the key to having lips that don't look like they've been attacked by sandpaper. Sephora's product description of Smith's Rosebud Salve purveys the benefits, citing "This cult-favorite, multi-purpose lip balm soothes dry lips, calms and heals irritation, and soothes the sting of minor burns. Try dabbing on dry elbows or knees to condition, and relieve dryness. Also an excellent remedy for the treatment of diaper rash." So whether you have severely chapped lips, a curling iron burn, or an itchy baby's bottom, Smith's will cure it all.

Nike Running Shorts
Whether I am at the gym, running errands, or having a lazy Saturday–Nike running shorts do it all. The material is breathable and moisture wicking (say goodbye to sticky sweat!). I also love that their are a million different colors to choose from.

Remember, quality over quantity!
Style. Study. Savvy.

Last night, Beyonce opened "Rock In Rio", one of the world's largest music festivals, with a press conference at the Estádio Plácido Aderaldo Castelão in Fortaleza, and she shared her dear love for Brazil, balancing work, motherhood, and having Blue Ivy on tour with her!
On Brazil she said:
"It's one of my favorite places in the world. I've never met so many people with so much passion and I am so excited to be here. It doesn't feel like I'm working, it feels like a vacation."
And she revealed she is so ecstatic to have her baby girl right be her side.
"It's really interesting because I'm touring with my daughter for the first time and my dream has always been to be able to balance my life and my career."
She adds:
'I think it's the one thing that women struggle with because it's so difficult."
But it's all for the love of music. Bey says:
'It makes me proud of my job. It makes me proud that music can impact so many people and bring us together.'
And rocking a dark lip, the diva killed the stage as expected! Check out videos of the show below and more of her personal photos!

Online trust is a very interesting concept – yet no company has really nailed it yet. For example, there are many numerical indices that are used to gauge trustworthiness, insurance risk and financial risk of individuals – but there is no score that reflects how trustworthy you are on the web.
Think FICO scores for example. FICO scores represent a fairly accurate representation of one's financial habits over a long term and helps financial institutions and employers from pre-qualifying you for credit or employment.
There are plenty of reputation management start-ups in operation these days, but I am not really impressed with any of them. This is due to a very simple reason: lack of a compelling competitive advantage. Anyone can simply aggregate data from a bunch of public sources (like: social networks, personal websites, LinkedIn etc.) and assign a numerical value to it, but who cares?
TrustCloud (Founder & CEO: Xin Chung) is a fairly new start-up that's aiming to solve this problem.
Will they succeed? Maybe. I am certainly intrigued.
The obvious challenge for TrustCloud and other companies in this "reputation management/trust" categories is not simply being able to verify "trusted" sources, it's being able to distinguish between falsified data and real data. It's so damn easy to fool these services currently with doctored social media profiles, temporary phone numbers, email addresses and bogus mail drops – and if these are the elements that consists of "online trust" according to companies like TrustCloud — then good luck.
As always, you can use these networks for your own advantage by molding the perception of the public according to your own whim.
Don't underestimate the power of misdirection.

It is amazing how stupid the Democrats think the nation is. When Nixon resigned and was investigated for Watergate, others were investigated, and others had instigated and planned it. Ultimately, it was he that approved it. Ultimately, Hillary had to be involved and had to direct this despicable manipulation of the Democratic primary. And even the scapegoat will not spill the beans, and not a single Democrat will admit it, because they know, when it comes out, Hillary is toast. She can never be President if she participated in the manipulation of an election in a democratic society that represents itself to the world as the cornerstone of free elections and democracy.
If Hillary is elected, and she is implicated, the world will openly recognize our government as proven to be corrupt. What Hillary did was despicable. And the entire Democratic party is now trying to cover her ass, but it is much too big to cover.
If Hillary was already President, and this came out, Hillary would be asked to resign. The Democrats know this. And if they manage to get past this into November and get her elected, she will be forced to resign in disgrace, but the Democrat VP will still be the President, not a Republican. That is ally they care about at this point. What is incredible is that Sanders never had a chance. They did this because Sanders would have been trounced by Trump. But it was so incredibly stupid to have wasted the effort on a person that could not have beaten Hillary in the election anyway. Beating him honestly would have garnered his support and the respect of everyone in the nation.
The Democrats, not the DNC, rigged a free election. It is the biggest possible failure in any "democratic" nation. And now they will do anything to get her into office before everybody in the nation admits the obvious. Hillary acted stupidly, criminally and despicably. She was already forced to resign her office once. She will resign the Presidency if she wins. You are no longer voting for Hillary if you vote for her, you are voting for a party that was caught red handed violating your trust. To call themselves the "Democratic" party is a disgrace.

First Reading
The Lord says this:
Rejoice heart and soul, daughter of Zion!
Shout with gladness, daughter of Jerusalem!
See now, your king comes to you;
he is victorious, he is triumphant,
humble and riding on a donkey,
on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
He will banish chariots from Ephraim
and horses from Jerusalem;
the bow of war will be banished.
He will proclaim peace for the nations.
His empire shall stretch from sea to sea,
from the River to the ends of the earth.
Second Reading
Your interests are not in the unspiritual, but in the spiritual, since the Spirit of God has made his home in you. In fact, unless you possessed the Spirit of Christ you would not belong to him, and if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, then he who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your own mortal bodies through his Spirit living in you.
So then, my brothers, there is no necessity for us to obey our unspiritual selves or to live unspiritual lives. If you do live in that way, you are doomed to die; but if by the Spirit you put an end to the misdeeds of the body you will live.
Gospel Reading
Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to mere children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
'Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.'

"Shoulder my yoke and learn from me"
by Michał Jeszke
"Shoulder my yoke". For centuries these words of Jesus are encoded in the sign of the priestly stoal. By putting it on neck, the priest inserts the yoke of Christ. The yoke of responsibility for the faithful, but also the yoke of his own faith. Yes, faith is also our cross. Anyone who has experienced doubts or any other difficulties in prayer knows what I am talking about. The main issue is how we approach the Christ yoke. What should we do, so it does not overburden us?
First of all, we must not allow our faith to be reduced to an empty law (such as only orders, prohibitions or tradition). When we lose the relationship with God as a person, we will awake on our knees before a piece of a tree in the shape of a cross, or a picture that tells us nothing. In this way we get rid of motivation and strength, and finally we can give up our faith by treating it as unnecessary weight.
The second reason we do this is the pride which Jesus talks about in today's Gospel. The lack of "humble of heart" extinguishes our faith. A good example is the story from Genesis. There was a yoke in the form of a ban on the consumption of fruit from only one tree. Our pride cannot accept the existence of any prohibition that we are not the author of. We want to "be like God." Today Jesus says "being like God" means "to be humble heart".
So the relationship with God and the daily concern for humility is a lesson from today's passage of the Gospel. May our guide be Mother Teresa, a woman who has earned the absolute recognition of all: great politicians, culture makers, the media – every time she came to the United States, this was the news headline. At the same time she was a woman of extraordinary humility. She used to say: I am only a small pencil which God writes.
Let us fight for humility and do not get rid of the difficulties in our live, let us not seek faith which does not challenge us, but let us seek in these experiences the opportunity to learn from Jesus and find comfort in Him.
by Fr Juan José Bartolomé SDB
Introduction to Lectio Divine
Faced with the incredulity of the majority, Jesus is pleased with the faith that he finds among the few who dare to accept his message without being shocked by him. They are the reason for Jesus' prayer in which he reveals his most intimate secret: his Father is God of the simple people, a God who makes the little ones wise and makes the ignorant learned. Because he had simple people around him who would not be shocked, Jesus was able to declare that he was the Son of God and that he was grateful towards his Father. After this act of thanksgiving, Jesus offers rest to those simple people. The healing and relief that the disciples will find in their master is not due to the absence of impositions or a lack of instruction. His teaching is light because Jesus is gentle. His burden is bearable because he has a humble heart. His burden and his rest are for his disciples. Jesus does not free them from obedience nor from the cross. He promises, however, that obedience will not be too difficult for them, and that he will give rest to those who carry their cross.
Read: understand what the text is saying, focussing on how it says it
Although the gospels tell us that Jesus prayed often, they do not often tell us the content of his prayer. That makes this brief passage all the more precious. In it we find not only the sentiments of Jesus and the words he addressed to God, his Father, but also an invitation to share his rest and his teaching. Jesus extends this invitation to all who are tired and overburdened.
This prayer is consoling but it has a very specific motive. Jesus said this prayer during his public ministry when he observed that among those who were following him, only a few simple people were accepting God and opening their lives to his will. This little 'triumph' of his evangelizing work brought joy to Jesus' heart and a prayer to his lips. The so-called good people thought Jesus was not good enough, and the learned and clever thought he was not sufficiently capable. Only the humble gave him credit and appreciated him, and felt drawn to follow him. For those who did follow him, he became their teacher of prayer and giver of rest.
The prayer has three distinct parts. It begins with thanksgiving. Jesus declared himself grateful to his Father for revealing himself to the little ones. He is thanking the father for the success of his mission, and there is already a lesson for us in this. He makes it clear that the Father himself rejoices that he has been understood by the little ones. This preference of God for the little ones is a reason for Jesus to give thanks, and he thanks the Father also that his own personal mission has not failed.
The second statement of Jesus is not so much a prayer as a personal confession. He calls himself Son, with great simplicity and clarity. He acknowledges that his mission to make the Father known is a gift that has been given to him. The words he uses are striking: "no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." To know God the Father we must learn from the Son.
The third statement is an invitation, or rather a promise. He leaves his prayer and his personal confession and moves on to exhortation. He is no longer speaking to the Father who is known only through the Son, nor to the Son who makes the Father known, but to those of his listeners who feel the need of comfort and rest.
Jesus never ceases to surprise. Before he promises rest, he imposes two tasks on his followers, giving them two commands – 'take my yoke upon you', and 'learn from me'. The disciple may feel tired, but if he wants comfort he will have to learn from his master and carry his master's yoke. The yoke is easy but the disciple must accept it, and the burden is light but he must carry it nonetheless.
Meditate: apply what the text says to life
The people who prompted Jesus' prayer were simple people who believed without too much understanding, people who were deemed unimportant. Because he knew that they accepted him and his teaching, Jesus let them share his prayer. In it he revealed his personal mystery, thanked the Father and praised the Father's will. Could we ever hope to have such an influence on Jesus? Anyone who acknowledges Jesus, causes Jesus to give thanks to his Father. Anyone who is not shocked by him, obliges him to reveal himself as the Son of God. It should be enough for us that Jesus is happy to be accepted by people, even if they are as simple and lacking in merit as we are. We should make an effort to ensure that he is known and appreciated, without seeking recognition or esteem for ourselves. This should be enough for us because then we will be the cause of his joy and his prayer.
We know very little about those first disciples. We don't even know their names. But we, like they, can restore Jesus' confidence in himself and in God, if we resolve to follow him and not be shocked by him, to stay with him and not seek other teachers, and to obey him alone and serve no other master. It does not require great deeds, nor exceptional intelligence, nor riches. We are good enough as we are. Surely it is not too great a price to pay – we only have to put our hope in him, poor and simple as we are.
After he has prayed, Jesus invites those who accept him and who are happy with him to renew their strength and find relief from their pain, as they follow him closely. He wants to make disciples of those who accept him without reserve. He wants them to learn from him how to rest from their labours. They know who he is and so they are worthy to be his friends. However, he does not hide the fact that even when they are close to him the difficulties do not disappear. Jesus does not deceive his followers, no matter how simple they may be. He speaks to them of a yoke and a burden. He does not hide his demands nor make them any lighter. The rest and comfort the disciples receive from their master is not due to the absence of impositions or an easy way of life. The teaching of Jesus is easy because Jesus is gentle, and his burden is light because he has a humble heart. It is, then, both burden and comfort for his disciples. Jesus does not free his disciples from obedience or from the cross. He simply promises them that they will not fall under the weight of his demands and that being obedient and carrying their cross will not be too much of a burden for them.
And he gives the reason. He is a humble master, at the level of simple people. He is a merciful teacher who does not lose patience with his disciples when they forget his teaching. Jesus' disciples will know this if they learn from him how much God loves everyone, and if they see the will of God as their guide in life. They are not free therefore from their duty as disciples. But because Jesus is a master with a compassionate heart, the disciple can rest in perfect tranquillity, even when he is not able to repeat all he has learnt or to put into practice all he has been taught. The Master's deep compassion keeps the disciple from feeling that he has failed. Jesus does not love us because we are good, but he wants us to be better than we are. He does not give up on us, and continues to give us more than we give him, and more than we are able to receive. Jesus always gives more…
He loves us so much, with a heart that is afflicted by our sinfulness, that he never loses hope for us, even if we do not succeed in being good. He never rejects us because we have not become better. In Jesus we have a Master who will always ask more of us, because he always loves us more, but he will not stop loving us when we fail to live according to his will.
His poverty is our best guarantee. Being a disciple of Jesus is difficult but not painful. It may sometimes be heavy but never oppressive. If even disobedient disciples find acceptance and healing, what will he have in store for those who try hard to follow him more closely? Tiredness and fatigue are never a reason for abandoning him. Indeed, the tired and overburdened are precisely those who are invited by Jesus. Let's not forget that! If we do not follow him, because we fear the yoke or the burden, we will continue to feel the fatigue and the injustices of life. Jesus is joy and repose only for those who accept him as their gentle and humble master. What keeps us back, then, from choosing him as our only Master and Lord?
when our world lay in ruins,
you raised it up again on the foundation of your Son's Passion and Death.
Give us grace to rejoice in the freedom from sin
which he gained for us,
and bring us to everlasting joy.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

I know what you are thinking
Are you thinking about opening the borders of your mind and heart? Listen here. Are you thinking about making a little fuss over a supper that might possibly cause you to dance around with happiness? Take a look at this.
Are you thinking about injecting a little tropical tang into January's icy siege? Have a peek here, though if you can see your breath outdoors where you are, you should consider first if a good produce market and the willingness to spend about ten bucks on fruit are within today's frame of reference; otherwise, consider it food porn.
Are you thinking it would be nice to have something like a rubber ducky (who, as you may recall, made bath-time so much fun), but one who earned his keep? The Italians have it covered.
I'm off for a far-away week looking after a loved one. Be well!

JACKSONVILLE - In support of this year's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (Feb. 26-March 3,), runners will hit the beach for the Fighting Back 5K. Jenni Schaefer, best-selling author and Ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), will emcee the inaugural run/walk.
The Cariad Foundation presents March 3 event at 8 a.m. at the Seawalk Pavilion. Preregistration is $20; the cost on race day is $30. The fee for the Fun Run is $10.
Featured will be a 5K run, a 5K walk, and a one-mile fun run for kids. The goal: supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders, and educate the community about eating disorders.
Jenni Schaefer is an internationally-known author and speaker whose books "Life Without Ed" and Goodbye Ed, Hello Me" helped make her a role model in recovery from eating disorders. She has appeared in front of hundreds of audiences including Harvard conferences and Dr. Phil.
Four out of 10 Americans have either suffered from or have known someone who has suffered from an eating disorder. (Source: NEDA). The Cariad Foundation is a local nonprofit organization whose mission is not only raising awareness of eating disorders and the physical, emotional, and spiritual toll they take, but also providing opportunities for those who cannot afford treatment to receive support toward it.

Teachers + Parents
Well-informed decisions pertaining to selection of subjects leads students towards career paths of their choice but most of the times the students are not so sure. Incorrect decisions results in either subject/career switching or loss of interest and passion in the career. Dextered helps students make these decisions by re-creating parent teacher relationships and introducing them as career counselors and psychologists.
The tool aims to minimize parent teacher communication gaps by keeping every parent and teacher well informed about the academic performance and attendance of the student subject wise. The parent gets into closer touch with the teacher and can observe the day to day reports of his child. The teacher gets not only a holistic view of all their students but also student wise details.
Parents can request appointments, view notices sent by the teachers and stay up to date regarding the performance and attendance of their child. The teacher can act as a guidance counselor and educate the parents on the various subject options available for their child on the basis of the child's own interest. This helps the child and his parents make well-informed decisions and helps to stop career/subject switching to a great deal.

Low fire glaze vs. High fire glaze
So what's the difference?
I usually use high fire glaze, but in the past years when I've networked with local art teachers, they've been turning me onto trying low fire glaze. So I've been trying to phase out my stock of high fire and try the low fire.. but there are some things I just wanted to make sure are correct from my understanding:
1. Low fire glaze has a more painterly quality to it?
2. Can low fire glazed pieces touch each other in the kiln?
3. Low fire glaze can be mixed like paint?
4. Low fire glaze can be used on high fire clay?
If someone could help clarify / verify these statements, I'd really appreciate it! I already told my students they'd be my little guinea pigs for this glaze I bought, but I just wanted to have somewhat of an idea of what might happen when firing. Thanks for any input in advance!

Today with a vote of 334 against and 315 in support, Members of the European Parliament rejected the plans to delay or backload the sale of 900 million carbon allowances. With the outcome, businesses and green groups were left disappointed and critics have questioned the existence of the ETS and believe that the EU has damaged its reputation as a global leader in the fight against climate change.
The backloading proposal was defeated mainly by a coalition of centre-right Members of Parliament who opposed the plans on the grounds that a higher carbon price would interference with the market-based mechanism and could lead to higher energy bills in Europe. Also, parliament members who are skeptic of climate change rejected any steps to try and fix the system.
Analysts and economists predict that the decision will cause the price of carbon to hit record low prices in the upcoming days since the market will be fixed from its excessive oversupply of allowances. In the aftermath of the vote, the price of carbon had all ready fallen down to a new record low of €2.63 a tone. Energy and climate ministers of Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Sweden and Denmark stated that the rejection of the backloading plan would divide member states making each state pursue their own carbon taxes or reforms, for example, the UK's controversial carbon floor price.
Given todays decision, attention will be focused on the European Commission for a wider package of reforms to be designed possibly for the fourth phase of the ETS. Sadly, a package of reforms is unlikely to be written anytime soon and the ETS is unlikely to see any fundamental changes until 2015 at the earliest. All eyes will be on the European Commission to design reforms such as through a permanent retirement of excess carbon allowances, tighter limits on the number of carbon offsets that can be used in the market, or lower emissions caps on those firms covered by the scheme: all possible solutions to fix an oversupply of allowances.
On future changes to the ETS, EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard stated, "the proposal will now go back to the parliament's Environment Committee for further consideration. Europe needs a robust carbon market to meet our climate targets and spur innovation. The commission remains convinced that backloading would help restore confidence in the EU ETS in the short term until we decide on more structural measures."

Said to be the birthplace of evil; rather than "right" and "wrong", the ruthless nations of Earth 3 cared only for strength above all, the weak deserving only annihilation. This hopelessly corrupted world was thus ruled by the sadistic, unstoppable Crime Syndicate, twisted counterparts to the Justice League.
In Earth 3 performing crimes is as mundane as Prime Earth is fighting crime. And although there are laws and police, these usually only serve their own interests. Like other Earths of the Multiverse, Earth 3 features a gallery of superhumans, but these are selfish and ambitious beings, as anyone in the universe.
The Crime Syndicate fled their universe from a mysterious entity of amazing power, whose abilities they could not predict. Washington, D.C. was laid waste. The Syndicate kept this secret from their allies on Prime Earth, where they claimed publicly that they had killed the population of Earth 3 in response to an uprising. In actuality, the populace was killed by the Anti-Monitor. However, recent events and adventures by the Justice League and Young Justice have revealed the populace to still be alive and the Earth inhabited again through unknown means.[1]

Mild Cognitive Impairment often leads to Alzheimer's disease. As a result of the growing global Alzheimer's epidemic, MCI is receiving increasing attention as the first clinical presentation of Alzheimer's and a potentially pivotal opportunity for intervention.
Alzheimer's Reading Room
|Henry Brodaty
The research also identifies the conditions that most accurately predict progression from MCI to Alzheimer's disease.
This global perspective on MCI includes data from six countries: the USA, Australia, Germany, the UK, Sweden and France.
New Studies Underscore Global Importance of Mild Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's Disease Continuum
MCI often - but not inevitably - leads to Alzheimer's disease. As a result of the growing global Alzheimer's epidemic, MCI is receiving increasing attention as the first clinical presentation of Alzheimer's and a potentially pivotal opportunity for intervention.
Recently published National Institute on Aging/Alzheimer's Association diagnostic guidelines and criteria – which address pre-clinical Alzheimer's, MCI due to Alzheimer's and Alzheimer's disease dementia – recognize MCI as a critical stage in the Alzheimer's continuum.
"The earlier in the disease process that people at risk for developing Alzheimer's are identified, the sooner we can intervene," said William Thies, Ph.D., Chief Medical and Scientific Officer at the Alzheimer's Association. "Earlier detection will be our best opportunity to prevent continuing damage to the brain, once more effective therapies are developed."
"Understanding MCI is a key to this endeavor. It is has become increasingly important for us to understand how prevalent MCI is throughout the world and how it varies from country to country. These six new studies explore and examine the similarities and differences around the globe," Thies added.
Risk Factors for Progression from MCI to Alzheimer's
While some individuals with MCI do not progress to dementia, identification of factors that enable prediction of progression has emerged as an important Alzheimer's research priority.
"Understanding the multiple causes of MCI, and both the cognitive and biological changes that occur in MCI patients who progress to Alzheimer's, provides a greater opportunity to determine treatment pathways and potentially identify a population for earlier interventions," said Henry Brodaty, M.D., DSc, FRACP, FRANZCP, Professor of Ageing and Mental Health and Director of the Dementia Collaborative Research Centre at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, and Director, Aged Care Psychiatry and Head of the Memory Disorders Clinic at Prince of Wales Hospital.
Data from the six countries suggest that MCI is a surprisingly common condition, especially in industrialized nations, affecting between 15.4 and 42 percent of the studied populations. They also suggest that advanced brain imaging tests and other biomarkers, plus assessment of certain lifestyle-based risk factors, may improve the scientific community's ability to identify who will go on to develop Alzheimer's.
A number of common factors emerge from the studies as indicators of the likely progression from MCI to Alzheimer's, including: depression, apathy, anxiety, age, education, loss of ability in activities of daily living, cardiovascular factors (including stroke and diabetes), and low level of education.
In the U.S. study, the risk of progression to dementia was elevated for people with stroke, depression and a high burden of other medical conditions.
Similarly, in the U.K. and Swedish studies, depression, the presence of other diseases, and MCI affecting several cognitive functions (not just memory) hastened progression to dementia. In particular, in Sweden, diabetes accelerated the progression from MCI to dementia by three years.
In the study from France, diabetes, stroke and depression were risk factors for progression. In both France and Germany, impairment in activities of daily living was significantly associated with a higher conversion rate and shorter time to onset of dementia.
"There are a variety of types of MCI, and only some forms have a high likelihood of progression to Alzheimer's," said Ronald Petersen, Ph.D., M.D., Professor of Neurology, Cora Kanow Professor of Alzheimer's Disease Research, and Director of the Mayo Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN. "The research done to date has shown us that different study populations have different MCI prevalence and incidence rates, so more research needs to be conducted to explore additional similarities and differences between countries and among subpopulations."
"That said, these large data sets are from the major epidemiological studies from around the world. They range from 1,000 to as high as 12,000 subjects who have been followed for long periods of time. The increasing use of imaging techniques along with the new diagnostic guidelines for this group will help further strengthen scientific knowledge about the role of MCI and its impact on Alzheimer's risk," Petersen said.

The ribosomes in the cytoplasm are the sites of protein translation in the cell. Translation refers to taking a copy of messenger RNA, or mRNA, and making a protein from the code.
At the start of translation, the ribosomal subunits assemble to form the ribosome. The mRNA strand has a 5' and a 3' end. The 5' end of the mRNA strand attaches itself to the ribosome. The mRNA is read, or translated, three codons at a time. Each set of three codons stands for a certain amino acid. Transfer RNA, or tRNA, molecules, which carry amino acids, bring their amino acid loads to add to the growing protein chain. Amino acids are the subunits, or building blocks, of proteins.
