Your martial training helps you fly and charge through others' spaces.
Prerequisite(s): Dex 17, Owl Style, Owl Swoop, Skill Focus (Stealth), base attack bonus +7 or monk level 5th, Acrobatics 1 rank, Fly 1 rank, Stealth 1 rank.
Benefit(s): While using Owl Style, you can use your base attack bonus in place of your ranks in Fly to determine your Fly skill bonus. You can charge through other creatures' spaces, but you must make a successful Acrobatics check to move through enemy spaces, as normal. If you fail an Acrobatics check to move through an enemy's space during a charge, your charge stops just before you enter that enemy's space; if you threaten that foe, you can make your charge attack against that foe.

Estrogen blocking supplements for men that matter
Guys, if you want to pack on muscle mass or bring up lagging body parts, it's not enough to eat big and lift big. You need to pay attention to hormones too: boosting testosterone and estrogen blocking.
What are the top natural estrogen blockers for bodybuilders?
Tribulus Terrestris (or "trib") is an adaptogenic plant. Its roots and the fruit are used as a testosterone booster and performance enhancing supplement which works well for men wanting to stay anabolic. Trib is a totally natural source of protodioscin, a bioactive steroidal saponin. Be careful, though, buy quality tribulus (Bulgarian tribulus seems to be the most potent) and make sure the protodiscin levels are at around 60%.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) occurs naturally in the body but drops off as we age, even from our 20s and 30s. HGH is responsible for the growth of everything in the body, including muscles, connective tissue and skin. You can supplement with an HGH releaser – good quality ones have ZMA (zinc and magnesium),
GABA (Gamma aminobutyric acid), arginine pyroglutamate and arginine HCL and phenibut as well as other completely natural compounds. Probably the best estrogen blocker for men who want to stay anabolic and build more muscle mass is a quality aromatase inhibitor.
Aromatase inhibitor bodybuilding supplements are highly anti-oestrogenic, and actually block the natural enzyme in our bodies which is responsible for converting testosterone into oestrogens (nobody wants that!) You need to choose your aromatase inhibitor supplement really carefully: if you choose badly, you'll waste your cash, waste your time and potentially damage your physique. You need to look for ingredients which are pharmaceutical grade and present in optimal doses. Any good aromatase inhibitor should contain 5-Methyl-7-Methoxyisoflavone, Chrysin (5, 7-Dihydroxyflavone) and Diindolylmethane. Useful extras which will work well to block oestrogen and prevent low testosterone are bioperin, resveratrol, genistein and diadzein. There's plenty you can do with food, training and sleep to get anabolic (heavy weight training, interval style cardio, controlling stress levels and getting lots of awesome quality sleep). But anyone who's serious about keeping a lid on estrogen levels and protecting against loss of testosterone after the age of 25 should at least think about an estrogen blocking supplement. They're a great addition to your toolkit in the war against low testosterone.BP Crew

Guys! I've been asked to preface menstrual TMIs with a warning for my male readers. So here's your warning: Vaginas bleed. If you don't like it, don't have sex with 'em. (You're welcome, Muscles.)
Also, enter by NOON TOMORROW to WIN AN IPOD NANO! z0mg!
NTKOG #109: The kind of aggressive oversharer who uses her period as an excuse for everything and makes a valiant effort to keep the world at large up-to-date on her personal, uh, punctuation.
I am: one of those lucky few women whose periods just really aren't a big deal. I barely notice it.
I am not: going to talk about it when I do notice it. I mean, unless it's with my girlfriends, obvi, 'cause talking to women inevitably leads to discussions of menstrual blood and wedding plans.
The Scene: My uterus? So here's a thing about periods, if any guys penetrated my severe warning and made it this far: they are fickle and perverse creatures. And there's no quicker way to anger them than claiming that yours are never painful or aggravating. I thought of this NTKOG a few weeks ago, and laughed to myself, "Ohhh what an acting job! How could I complain about my light, pain-free period? It is practically a pleasure to host!" Cue me waking up three days later with hyperventilating, blinding, crying cramps. Thank you universe! Universe inside my reproductive system!
Anyway, set out to overshare in a variety of situations, from which, three vignettes:
Objective: Escape convenience store judgment: The Ex always argued I'm unnaturally concerned with the way people behind cash registers perceive me but, dude, you try buying red licorice and a Fresca at 10:59 PM from some translucent-skinny retail girl who weighs forty-five pounds — half eyeliner — and obviously had to filet herself to fit into her jeans. THERE WAS JUDGMENT! There was judgment.
Filet o' salesclerk furrowed her brow for a sec when she looked at the licorice. I smiled: "Period. Crazy sugar craving, you know? Like mega period." She looked up and gave the tiniest pulse of a smile. Foolish, heartened, I continued. "The worst part is I never see it coming. Then one day I realize I'm crying at 30 Rock and surrounded by empty pudding cups. Menstruation, eh?"
The smile wiped off her face as she gave a dignified moue of disgust. Sooooo. I guess I know whom I'm not asking if I ever need to borrow a tampon.
Objective: Tardiness with impunity: It has come to my attention, over the years, that girls periodically use their periods as an excuse for being late. I'm … just not at all sure why. But damned if I wasn't going to give it a shot. Due to an admittedly avoidable cause, I was running about ten minutes late for the writing class I'm taking, which is taught by an elderly woman and attended by four other students. Awesome, dude. My Cher Horowitz moment.
TKOG: Sorry I'm late. I'm like super menstrual.
Old Hippie Instructor: I'm sorry, what?
TKOG: Oh, you know, I'm like on my period in a major way.
OHI: Wait, what does that have to do with you being late?
TKOG: Uh, cramps?
OHI: [reproving glance]
TKOG: …midol?
Not quite as quotable as surfing the crimson tide, it transpired. And still haven't solved the mystery of why periods excuse lateness!
Objective: Avoid credit card minimum in sourpuss convenience store: A different convenience store next to my house, the employees of which are positively draconian about their $5 credit card minimum (a policy which, btdubs, violates companies' terms of agreement with credit card companies). I was picking up a travel pack of Advil to ward off a random headache, but the total came to $2.18 and I had no cash.
TKOG: Dude, seriously, please help me out here. I'm begging you.
Surly Clerk: $5 minimum. Buy something else.
TKOG: But I don't need anything else! I'm on my period and I have terrible cramps and I need an Advil right flippin' now.
SC: Sure. If you pay in cash.
TKOG: Dude, come on, my cramps are so bad that last night I dreamed I was giving birth to a llama.
True story, btdubs. Dude wouldn't relent. So in desperation I glanced behind the counter at the tiny home-improvement section and, remembering the leaky aerator on my kitchen sink, asked him for a set of pliers. He rang 'em up and looked at me for just a moment, confused or at least a little surprised.
"Yeah," I told him, ripping open the Advil as I walked to the door. "Just, like, in case a tampon gets stuck?"
You're welcome for the visual, sir. You could have just sold me the damn Advil. But whatever, mind the mood swings, 'cause if you hadn't heard, I had a good excuse.
The Verdict: Ugh, still not sure why women sometimes do this. I'll admit I'm a little on the prim Victorian side when it comes to discussing bodily functions (except, apparently, on the blog — yikes), but I just don't see what possible good can come from bringing up your period with people who aren't actively seeking a menstrual-based conversation.
That said, as someone who enjoys behaving badly, I did quite appreciate the pale mottled shade of green the last guy turned. So. Keeping it in my bag of tricks as an emergency-conversation-escape smokebomb.
TMI Thursday! Meta-TMI about giving TMI! Go look at Livit, Luvit for more TMI! Also, while we're housekeeping: new comment policy, kittens. If your comment friggin' creeps me out, I will delete it wantonly and without warning. This policy will not apply to 99.9999999% of comments, but I am hereby reserving the right forever.

text: Loading. Please wait. Introducing ModHVAC, an Easy Way to Predict HVAC Replacement Costs!Here in Austin, Modernize's home, we get our fair share of meteorological ups and downs. People here are even fond of saying "if you don't like the weather in Texas, just wait a few minutes." With that kind of climatic variety, we appreciate a top-notch and reliable HVAC system that can keep things comfortable when temperatures run to the extremes. And that's why we designed Modernize's new ModHVAC HVAC Cost Calculator, to help the homeowners all over the country who told us that selecting the right system for their region's climate was taking them too much time and effort.After all, selecting a new heat pump or air conditioner used to be a time-intensive task. Homeowners had to weigh a variety of factors, like their home's square footage, the local climate, and their energy-efficiency goals. Meanwhile, they often found themselves in a double bind. Purchase a high-efficiency system for more money now, or save up front with a cheaper unit that might ramp up energy bills over time? With so much going into that decision, most homeowners were left at the mercy of a contractor's advice. To save time, most went with the first name that popped up on Google. That meant they had little ability to estimate costs and create a budget without first engaging a professional.We created ModHVAC to take the guesswork out of purchasing and installing HVAC components, giving you more agency over your home repairs. We designed the system to be simple and quick. And we wanted to make connecting with an HVAC repair person as seamless as possible. It's so easy to use that all you need to get started is your home address!You Already Have Everything You NeedAn AC replacement shouldn't require a crash course in refrigeration repair. ModHVAC makes it simpler by presenting you with the best HVAC choices for your home's situation. Just let us know whether you're replacing an existing heat pump or AC unit. And don't worry if you need both. Just pick "install a completely new unit" from the drop down at the top.Next, enter your home's square footage and your zip code. That's it! ModHVAC does the rest of the work, calculating the ideal efficiency rates for your home's location. It also factors in your home's measurements, to find the best sized unit for you. Next, it pings our massive database of local labor rates to get you an accurate picture of what workers charge in your area. allows us to find you a much more precise prediction of your overall costs. In fact, you'll get not one, but three different estimates to help you pick the best product for your economic situation and efficiency needs.Three Estimates Are Better Than OneWe understand that every household has its own unique concerns. That's why we don't try to box every home into the same estimate. Your ModHVAC results allow you to pick from three different options. That means you have choices, whether your top priority is saving money now on your system's installation or earning it back over time with a more efficient model.Our choices show you the installation costs for three different estimates: for a high efficiency unit, for an economy unit, and for the most popular option for your area. Click on each one and select to see how much you can expect to spend for both parts and labor.Cost Comparisons with Energy Efficiency in MindOver half of your home's energy consumption comes from your heating and cooling systems. That means there's a real opportunity here to save on your electricity bills—as long as you purchase the most efficient unit you can afford.ModHVAC helps you understand how your unit's season energy efficiency ratio, or SEER, affects the overall price of your unit. We also show you your eventual return on investment for different efficiency ratings. On the results sidebar, we lay out the percentage of savings you can expect to earn back on your electricity bills for each SEER, whether you're opting for the minimum efficiency or the maximum.Instantly Connect to a ProfessionalPrice and efficiency aren't the only factors going into your final decision, of course. The next step is to locate a professional contractor in your area to help you get a quote. They can recommend specific products that meet your requirements, as well as perform the necessary work to get your new system installed.ModHVAC can help you there, too. Our system includes a link to connect you with a local pro right away, so you can turn your HVAC replacement into a reality fast—instead of sweating out your days with a shot AC unit.Your home's HVAC is one of the most critical home repairs you'll make. With both your comfort and finances riding on your unit, it's important to get it right. But with ModHVAC on your side, you'll be set for the next ten years or more. Now, go forth and calculate!

Learn about bank account reconciliation and how it helps keep your QuickBooks accounts accurate.
Just like balancing your chequebook, you need to review your bank and credit card accounts in QuickBooks to make sure they match your real-life bank accounts. This is called "reconciling."
Learn how it works
When you reconcile, you compare your bank statement to what's in QuickBooks for a specific period of time. Your task is to make sure everything matches. At the end, the difference between QuickBooks and your bank accounts should be $0.00, although processing payments can sometimes cause a small gap.
Learn when to reconcile
It's a good idea to reconcile QuickBooks every month. You'll learn more about your business each time, and rest easy knowing your info in QuickBooks is 100% accurate. Reconciliations also help you:
- Know your business' net worth in real-time.
- Catch matching or accounting errors (which makes tax time much easier).
- Have better conversations with your accountant.

But even if the version number indicates, it's a minor upgrade, you still find tons of new features in it. JRMC is a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse IDE designed to help develop, profile and diagnose applications running on the Oracle's JVMs.
It includes tools to monitor, manage, profile, and eliminate memory leaks in your Java application without introducing the performance overhead normally associated with tools of this type. It's functionality is always available on-demand, and the small performance overhead is only in effect while the tools are running.
New Platform Support
The Mission Control client is now built and tested on some new platforms. The new platforms are Mac OS X, Solaris x86 and Solaris SPARC. Beside that it can now be run on Hotspot JVM, which was not possible with earlier versions. Mission Control can also start the local management on Hotspot JDK 1.6 and later. Note that you will still need to connect to a JRockit to be able to use most of the Mission Control tools. The underlying Eclipse has been upgraded to Eclipse 3.7 (Indigo).
New Plugins
The new Solaris support also comes with a new experimental plugin for DTrace. To install it into the stand alone version of Mission Control, go to Help | Install plug-ins… on the menu. To install it into Eclipse, first install the Eclipse plug-in version of Mission Control, then install it from the Experimental update-site. Mission Control provides a domain specific language that extends the DScript syntax to make the data self describing. The default .de script provides probes for recording both Hotspot behaviour as well as data from the operating system. This makes it easier to bring the the data into the Mission Control event model.
If Mission Control is run in Eclipse, the DSL comes with an editor providing features such as syntax highlighting. Just like with flight recorder, there is an action for starting a DTrace recording. The wizard allows for configuring the parameters declared in the .de file, as well as enabling and disabling probe sets.The GUI provided with the DTrace plug-in uses the Flight Recorder components and GUI editor. There are too many tabs to describe them all in detail here, however, an example recording is provided with the plug-in which allows you to try out the GUI, even on platforms where DTrace is not available.
There also a new Coherence plug-in available. Like all Plugins it can be installed into the stand-alone version of JRMC or into Eclipse via the update-site. It gives you memory details (Heap) about any Coherence Nodes and an overview about the configuration.
The previous experimental "Native Memory" tab is part of the core distribution now.
The Management Console
– Zooming the charts will now freeze the range, and it is now possible to use the mouse wheel to zoom. Clicking the refresh toggle button after freezing the range will keep the zoom settings but realign the x-axis to always show the latest value.
– File resource operations better respect the Eclipse environment. For example, if a trigger which logs to file is created when running Mission Control in Eclipse, the file will be an Eclipse file resource. If the log is opened in an editor, the editor will be refreshed whenever new content is available.
– There are now default trigger rules available for deadlocks.
– There is a new tab which lists textual information that is commonly of interest. Among the listed information is the library path of the Java process, the bootclass path, and the JVM and application arguments.
– Some JRockit attributes have been ported to Hotspot in JDK 7. Mission Control 4.1 supports these new attributes to provide a better experience when connecting to a Hotspot JVM. For instance, the Overview tab will be fully populated and the Threads tab will work to a greater extent than before.
The Flight Recorder (JFR)
– The thread graph now has support for rendering thread transition information. Note: When recording with JRockits prior to R28.2, the transition arrows are currently being rendered from the thread which held the monitor at the beginning of the blocking event, to the end of the blocking event.
– It is now possible to select between zooming and selection in the toolbar in the thread graph.
– Since the important information in thread names is usually in the beginning and/or end of the names, the thread graph will try to crop information from the middle of the thread names and replace the missing characters with an ellipsis.
– There is a new operative set action available which adds all events occurring during the same time and in the same thread as a selection of events to the operative set. This is particularly useful together with higher level events such as WLS related events. In the screen shot, events occurring at the same time as the events of a WLS transaction has been added, revealing low level IO events.
– The performance of the parser as well as memory footprint has been optimized. It is now be possible to open recordings with more than 10000 threads. Also, as long as there is sufficient heap available, opening recordings with more than 20 million events should be no problem.
– Mission Control features a built in GUI editor. It can be used to redesign the GUI from within Mission Control itself. It is currently unsupported, but can be started by adding the -designer parameter to the launcher. See various blog entries or the JRockit book for more information. In 4.1 the built in GUI editor has been much improved. There is now an editing history and proper undo/redo functionality. Also container components, such as tab folders and sashes, are now properly drawn in the GUI editor. There are several new components available, such as distribution charts. Components can now be configured in three level master/slave dependencies.
The Memory Leak Detector
– Sometimes any instance of a certain type will be of interest. There is now a shortcut available for selecting a random instance. There is also a short cut for selecting the class loader instance of the type.
– There is now an extension point available for better visualizing of instances. By default, extensions are provided by character arrays, Strings and some common collections. If the WLS plug-in is installed, visualization of app class loaders will be improved to reveal information such as application name and domain.
– There are now resettable delta counters for instances available in the trend table.
– There is an instance limit available that prevents the client from fetching too much data from the server. This instance limit can now temporarily be increased directly from the instance view. It can, of course, as always be changed in the preferences.
– In 4.0.x the tree representations of the type and instance graphs were shown on separate tabs. Now there is a toggle switch in the toolbar to switch between the graph and tree representations.
What will be next? Java Mission Control 5.0!
According to what I know, this will be the last 4.x release. If you look through the slides by Marcus Hirt according to the future of Mission Control, the next major release will drop it's JRockit past and move on into the direction to be the Mission Control suite for the converged JVM. Will only be available for Hotspot, even if JRockit updates still will appear in the 4.x. It will contain the flight recorder and much of the MBeans. What will be missing is the Memory Leak Detector in JDK 7. Even if all this was presented with the usual safe harbor statement, I guess we can anticipate, that it will be available within the JDK 8 timeline.

First Day
The first day of General Synod was a bit hazy for me, having driven straight from Boston with my husband and two children and arrived in Cleveland at 2 AM. Despite the late night, our children still got us up early, so we were up and watching television when the US Supreme Court announced its decision in the Obergefell decision.
Being at General Synod on the day that marriage equality was announced by the US Supreme Court was particularly significant for me. When I started dating my now husband in 1997, I began to attend First Congregational Church in Poughkeepsie, New York. Going to church together in a congregation that supported and nurtured us as a couple was important to our relationship.
Fifteen years ago this week, my husband and I were married at our church. Since it was 2001, our marriage was not legally recognized, but having our pastor bless our union in our church in front of our family and friends was significant, and being able to marry in our own church was important. We moved to Massachusetts ten years ago and were legally married at our new church, Old South Church, just before adopting our first child in 2009.
Now to see marriages like ours officially recognized throughout the country is moving, and all the more powerful to be in Ohio, a state where our marriage was not legally acknowledged yesterday. When we had dinner tonight between plenary sessions, we were touched that an anonymous stranger picked up the tab for our meal, adding to our celebration that marriage equality is now the law of the land. We look forward tomorrow to celebrating the UCC's impressive history of being open and affirming of LGBT people.

The Concept of Internet as a Business Catalyst
One of the roles of Internet is to work as a business catalyst for the real world. It is a marketplace in itself, which works as a catalyst for the real world marketplace if certain conditions are given.
The purpose of Internet as a catalyst is to build a link between sellers and buyers. To achieve this goal it is necessary that the websites had demonstrated to have a gravitational influence on the market that is being influenced and the necessary critical mass to build a true complementation with the market.
This implies having a strong competitive capacity within the limits of a cooperative attitude with the potential customers.
Complementation building requires developing a functional link that is fully dependent on the value proposition that is made.
But at the same time it implies being able to build a personal link that deals with the personal benefits for the customers to achieve a true complementation, which requires that both the value proposition and the seller's organization have been "bought".

CBS scores huge ratings with Thursday Night Football
Posted: Sep 12, 2014 4:08 PM CDT | Updated: Nov 5, 2014 3:41 PM CDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- CBS scored huge ratings for its Thursday Night Football broadcast of the Baltimore Ravens versus the Pittsburgh Steelers amid the Ray Rice controversy.
The game was the strongest Thursday night primetime performance for CBS since May 18th, 2006. Viewership jumped 108% from the same broadcast a year ago (which to be fair was shown on the cable-based NFL Network).
The publicity surrounding the Ray Rice incident probably helped CBS's ratings by drawing attention to this week's game. With the Ravens taking center stage just days after the team's star running back was cut from the team and suspended indefinitely by the NFL, the broadcast became a must-watch event for both fans and non-fans alike.
The network acknowledged the issue a couple of hours before the game kicked off by scrapping an opening segment featuring Rihanna, who has herself been a victim of domestic abuse.
\"CBS Evening News\" anchor Scott Pelley opened the broadcast with a rundown of the day's developments on the matter while \"CBS This Morning\" co-host Norah O'Donnell appeared on the sidelines, which made the program feel more like news coverage than a pre-game show for the NFL.
CBS beat out other networks for the $275 million contract to air Thursday's game, and the strong ratings show that bet paid off.

So much so, I rolled the bridge p/u off and ran the mids on my amp flat as opposed to boosted like I would with my Lakland Jazz bass. I was still able to cut through the mix with no problem. Is this an inherent trait of the SPB-2's?

How old is wine?
Not the stuff in that bottle you put in the closet one Thanksgiving and forgot about for years. We're talking about the history of wine itself.
That, it turns out, goes back a LONG way. There is evidence that someone poured a cup of wine in 7000 BC, in China. A thousand years later, there's evidence that someone else popped a cork (metaphorically speaking) in Europe (Georgia). And we have archaeological records of the actual making of wine, as far back as 4000 BC, in Armenia.
Over all those years, there have been some wrong turns in winemaking: those early wines-in-a-box. Thunderbird. Retsina. Every wine drinker has their own list. But there have been changes for the better as well, and the latest one is – the drone.
Or down on the farm, you might call it Doctor Drone. Flying over vineyards with a thermal imaging camera, as well as conventional cameras – drones can check on the health of the vines – covering an entire vineyard in far less time than it takes to go through on the ground. From the air, it is simple to spot temperature differences that signal which vines need more water, or which vines are being attacked by bugs.
And for our California readers, in particular (or anyone who likes a nice California Pinot or Chardonnay), drones can spot another potential problem with grapes – something that you wouldn't see even if you were standing right next to a grape vine: damage from smoke.
Wildfires in California can, and have, damaged grapes even when the fire never touched the plants. Smoke can give the wine-to-be a…well, smoky taste. You can't "see" smoke damage by looking – so the old way, involved lab testing of a sample of the grapes. Even that wasn't precise though, since you couldn't be sure which grapes to test. And that, could make for an unhappy surprise later (in the barrel, not the bottle, but still…).
Doctor Drone to the rescue, again. Those thermal imaging cameras can (because the smoke changes the temperature of the plants, even after the fire – and that change in temperature stands out on camera). So it's possible to tell pretty precisely which grapes are damaged, and which will make an excellent Cabernet or Riesling.
All of which means, wine lovers in California, and everywhere else, have good reason to raise a glass of Zinfandel, of Sauvignon Blanc, of sparkling wine, of whatever you like best – and toast Doctor Drone.
In theory, you could build a drone from almost anything that will hold together: wood, steel, cement (ok, don't try cement. You'd never be able to get it off the ground.). But as a practical matter, making a drone sturdy, lightweight and affordable means using materials like carbon fiber, fiberglass, plastic (print your own drone!), even Kevlar. And, if you're a regular reader here, you already know those are all materials produced from petrochemicals.

Tottenham are reportedly interested in making a loan bid in the ongoing transfer window for Barcelona winger Isaac Cuenca till the end of the season, according to the Metro.
The report states that Cuenca has been informed that he is free to join another club and Spurs are interested in making a short-term move for the winger. The Spanish club are willing to shell out half of the player's wages in order enhance Cuenca's opportunities to play first team football this season.
The 22-year-old made his first team debut for Barcelona in the 2011/12 season after being promoted from Barcelona B by the former manager Pep Guardiola making 16 appearances in La Liga. The following season, Cuenca spent most of the campaign on the treatment table due to injuries to his knee.
The winger went out on a loan spell to Ajax last January, but his time in the Eredivise ended prematurely due to another knee injury. Cuenca returned to training last October after undergoing surgery to his knee in June and is yet to make a first-team appearance for the Spanish club this season.
The north London club have already announced the departure of Jermain Defoe to FC Toronto on 28 February in the ongoing transfer window.
Spurs spent an enormous amount of over £100m in signing seven players last summer who have thus far failed to make significant impact in the squad, most notably, the club's record signing Erik Lamela.
The 21-year-old made a move from AS Roma for a club-record transfer of £30m and has thus far failed to impress at White Hart Lane managing only one assist in nine league appearances without scoring a single goal. Tim Sherwood's side have the worst goal scoring record among the first eight teams in the table with only 26 goals in the current campaign.
Meanwhile, Spurs enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 victory at home against Crystal Palace in the weekend Premier League fixture on Saturday. The visitors missed penalty early in the first half as Sherwood's team responded with Defoe and Christian Eriksen smashing the ball past goalkeeper Julian Speroni in the second half.
The north London side sit fifth in the league table with 40 points after 21 games and could remain there, depending on the results of Sunday's league fixtures.

With summer in full swing, I'm dreaming about a waterfront escape: the beaches of mexico, the lakeside splendor of Hot Springs, I could go on. And of course I've got a million ideas for how I would decorate my waterfront abode. Most of them involve classic blue and white, lots of beautiful views and plenty of nautical-inspired accessories.
Here are a few images inspiring my aquarian fantasies as of late. Enjoy!

Jolene || Portland, Or.
A therapist talks about ego, blind faith, and a hill in southeast Minnesota.
Lying on the table, I breathe in the calm of Jolene's hands under my head's occipital bone. The numbness that wraps around my right ear begins to resonate, extending tense fingers down into my jaw. To counter the growing frustration plying at my gut--"What makes this happen?"--I will myself to grow heavy, to sink deeply into the table.
Loose, warm heaviness rises up like a wave from under me, pooling over my body, pulling me down. The last thing I hear is the mollified gurgle of my gut unclenching before I drop into oblivious relief.
I want to tell you that I've found something that can fix everything that's wrong with you: chronic fatigue, colitis, depression, sprained joints, jaundice, infertility…and that's just me and the people I know.
But something's holding me back from getting all evangelical about it: namely, that you're unlikely to believe me. And I can't blame you. I didn't believe it at first, either.
Even for someone who's into alternative healing, this kind of therapy is very difficult to embrace. There are no needles, no potions or fumes, no affirmations or chants, not even a historic intertwine with some kind of religion or tradition.
You can throw those things into the mix, if you want to. I was told by Maureen, a therapist in San Francisco, that saints were standing guard over my treatment; Karin said that fairies showed up while she was preparing the treatment room. Or you can just as easily reference the science behind the therapy--either specifically ("Let's work on your sphenobasilar junction," as Grace in Asheville told me) or obliquely ("I'm going to untwist your liver now," said Aline in San Diego).
But those things are really just window-dressing on an absurdly simple procedure that, in the end, hinges on the patient's own willingness to heal.
It's called craniosacral therapy (cranial osteopathy in the UK). It's western medicine's favorite thing to debunk. It changed my life, even if it shouldn't have.
Ever since my first CST session, I've been trying to figure out what makes it work. There's plenty you can read, if you want to, but a lot of it will make your eyes glaze over with anatomical arcana.
If you find do something written about CST in layman's terms, it's more than likely someone from the medical establishment saying "This is bullshit and it doesn't work."
What they of course mean is that it shouldn't work, based on their understanding of the human body (specifically the skull) and the dearth of incontrovertible proof from the community that practices it.
At the Oregon School of Massage, Jolene excelled at many different healing modalities: shiatsu, myofascial release, Reiki. But despite her dedication as a student, she avoided the CST unit until the end of her program.
"CST felt too esoteric. You're only applying five grams of pressure—the weight of a nickel. I was like, 'What is this woo-woo stuff? There's no way I'm really making a difference…' even though I felt shifts happen in my body and the student-clients reported physical and emotional unwinding."
CST operates on the principle that small, gentle adjustments to the cranium and sacrum allow the body to heal itself from physical and emotional traumas. The word "adjustment" is really too strong a term for what happens on the table: a therapist will hold your neck, press the soles of your feet or cradle your shoulder blade in their palm for several minutes at a time, without moving.
This is what leads many first-timers to think something along the lines of "This is stupid...there's no way this is doing anything in my body." (Even students of the therapy think this, at first.)
It's not that there is a lack of science behind it—craniosacral work has been researched and developed since the 1880s by licensed osteopaths and university research teams, and endorsements from such diverse people as (the late) Dr. Wayne Dyer, former NFL player Ricky Williams, even Mark Bertolini, the CEO of Aetna Healthcare.
But the idea that any results--let alone the staggering results claimed by devotees--could be achieved by so little apparent effort is...forgive the healthcare pun...a hard pill to swallow. And yes, the anecdotal evidence for CST far outweighs the triple-blind tested scientific basis.
So yeah, if you're a healthy person, the whole idea of CST sounds ridiculous.
But if you're a chronically ill person who has tried everything that the medical establishment tells you should work, anecdotes become pretty fucking compelling.
Growing up in a family of four bookish sisters, Jolene was the active, imaginative one—the one who had to fight for good grades, who couldn't sit still long enough to learn piano. She entered college half believing she wasn't smart enough to accomplish much, but ready to work her butt off to prove otherwise.
As a child, she'd loved the stories she heard in church about Jesus healing the sick. She wanted to do that for people, but while she liked the idea of the prestige being a doctor would offer, her heart knew there was something more than "fixing" people that she longed for. In any case, she'd been told often enough that she lacked the discipline to get that advanced of a degree.
"I struggled all through college trying to fight my inner, self-destructive voice telling me I wasn't smart enough. I spent my entire four years in the library trying to prove to myself and the world that I was academic."
Jolene begged her way into a top-notch college in Minnesota, only to leave after a year to fight forest fires in the Idaho panhandle. While there, she took up flying lessons, thinking she'd prove herself by getting her private pilot's license. After logging 20 hours and 3 solo flights, she acknowledged that she was scared to death up there and returned to college, this time in Wisconsin, where she fought her way through a male-dominated department to graduate with a degree in history.
Remembering it now, she shakes her head in wonder:
"I was so, so lost."
Jolene had always had a second sight about illness. In college, it got so that she could meet a person only once and later identify them across campus by their walk or the sound of their cough. If she were in close proximity to someone with a condition, she'd begin to feel their pains and imbalances in her own body.
"I didn't know it was unique. I assumed it happened to everyone."
Focused on proving herself by the world's conventions, she didn't think about her ability enough to even ask whether it would strike anyone else as remarkable. It was just something she had inside her. But completing her degree left her feeling hollow, inauthentic. Adrift once again, she signed up for an AmeriCorps stint in Portland, where her sister lived.
Those first few months found her sharing a house with 5 other people, living on food stamps, and sleeping in a closet with a sheet for a door, all while weathering a dreary PNW winter. But Jolene felt for the first time that she was in the right place, even without knowing what she was there for.
"The cherry blossoms were in full bloom up and down the waterfront. I was wearing my favorite Gap jeans, Chacos and a white t-shirt, throwing the disc around, shooting the shit. I was finding my way in an amazingly progressive city with an amazingly progressive group of friends.
"I could breathe; I felt my wings expanding. My whole life was in front of me. Everything about this city made sense."
Jolene found a job managing the Oregon School of Massage bookstore, which offered her a deep discount on classes. Still battling with skepticism, she immediately found her hands accessing the deep intuition that she'd always had about people's physical illness. The more she explored different forms of bodywork, the more she understood that not only was her gift was real, but that she had to find her own integrity in using it.
"I didn't want to just 'relax' a person--I wanted to be Jesus, to heal people. To make people able to really change and achieve wellness on their own."
Jolene applied herself to mastering the most elite form of bodywork: structural integration. Also known as Rolfing, the technique has a very serious reputation which is respected widely, even outside the alternative healing world. It involves a lot of movement and effort, with many postures and movements that chiropractors and Western physical therapists would recognize.
Immersing herself in this year-long program woke her up to the reality that she could see far more in the body than even seasoned bodyworkers. Her instructor confirmed it: "95% of the world can't see what you see in the body." Her client practice also flourished, and with it, her confidence. Her unique ability was becoming real to her, as was her responsibility, which she could honor by helping people the way she'd always wanted to. It all made sense.
But then, just as she graduated from her program, all the sense was laid bare. Getting through the challenging program had finally restored the confidence she lacked as a child by giving her an ego.
"I realized this isn't it. I'm giving people what they think they need: to work super hard in order to get a change. I realized it doesn't take someone working really hard, experiencing all that pain and resistance.
"I ended up in a somato-emotional release class--the pinnacle of CST--and that kicked off my new chapter."
The treatment begins like any doctor's appointment: with me reciting my symptoms (with lots of armchair speculation thrown in). I can see Jolene listening to me in a way that suggests someone else in the room is talking. She looks into my eyes the way a surgeon looks at a heart laid open before him, glancing occasionally at my shoulders, my jawline, my hips.
At her direction, I stand up; she faces me from about five feet away. She gives her body a gentle shake and, as her gaze moves over my body, she murmurs in a mild tone of discovery:
"Oh… Mm-hm. Hi."
I've been to a lot of CSTs—talky, sphinx-like, tentative, flighty, soporific. Jolene is the first who has ever seemed to interact principally with the infirmity I brought in. Something about it makes perfect sense.
As her gaze takes me in, I feel my shoulders relax, my chest uncave and my hips experiment with a new equilibrium. Jolene acknowledges these motions, sometimes by mirroring them herself, or by using her hands to map out the affected regions of my body over her own.
Once her hands drop, one immediately rises again, brushing over her shoulder and flicking down her side, as if a cobweb were clinging to her.
She tells me later, with pride and shyness commingled in her voice, that this is an involuntary motion—a gesture that showed up one day without her thinking about it. With her gift for reading into people's bodies, it's all too easy to let the shadows of their affliction cling to her. The gesture seems to be a way to clear away any of their energy she might be taking on.
Whatever it is, she has to trust her own body to take care of itself before she can trust it to take care of someone else.
When Jolene was nine, her parents' divorce moved her and her sisters off the family farm to a township twelve miles north. It was devastating, not only for the breakup of the family but for having to leave the beloved family farm. But Jolene found solace by wandering over a neighbor's field, through a field, and up an increasingly steep hill until she reached a rock formation that looked out over the bluffs and rivers of southeast Minnesota.
"I found myself going to this place often, and in all seasons. In rain; in summer; sometimes I'd go up there sledding. Sometimes I'd bring my friend, my sister, my dog. But what was most special to me was when I went there by myself.
"I would start out going to this place, and in the beginning I would be really excited, I'd be going though all these emotions trying to get to this destination, the top of this rock. I'd get excited, I'd get scared because I was trespassing, and I'd get into the forest and of course my imagination would just go wild, I would think of all these crazy scenarios of what could be lurking behind these trees, and then when I'd get to where it opened up into the rock formation, then I'd be worried about snakes! (laughs) And so it was this cascading experience of all these emotions. But then when I'd get to the top, I'd just sit up there for a very long time, and I'd just sit and look out and just feel really happy. … Just really at peace."
Only last week, Jolene tells me, she visited a church for the first time in ten years. The pastor told a story about a boy who would go to the woods every day.
"His father one day asked 'Son, why do you go to the woods every day?' And his son said, to find God. And then his dad said, 'Well, that's a fine reason, son, but I want you to know that God is the same everywhere.' And the boy said to his father, 'I know that, dad, but I'm not the same everywhere.'"
At those words, Jolene felt tears running down her face. She was taken back to that rocky hill, where all the sadness in her childhood, even her worries about getting to the top safely, melted away in the feeling of serenity. That feeling, she realized, was connection to God.
"And that's blind faith—I had no reason why I'd rather climb up this rock by myself, than be with friends, than do something else. All I knew is I kept going."
Jolene says she has a hard time with faith. She always prays for proof of things she's asked to believe, not the least of which is how exactly craniosacral therapy works. The convention remains that if the explanation doesn't sound smart enough, if the practitioner isn't working hard enough, or if the work doesn't hurt, then the therapy must not be good enough. In the face of this skepticism, despite all the study she's done, Jolene says she's still not fully converted…not every day, anyway.
"I'm still attached to the intellectualism around what I do. I feel like people still want to hear some anatomical explanation for what I do. I can give them that, but when I get them on the table I'm not thinking 'I'm going to adjust your sphenoid now.' I'm in a trance, leading their body. It becomes a dance, this art where I'm almost removed."
There are basic rhythms to the dance: a rhythmic pattern in the body that consists of a five-second inflection with a two-second extension. Jolene's hands float back and forth like lazy butterflies, coming together and drifting apart. Finding where that rhythm is off is supposed to direct therapists on where corrections should take place.
"I was trying to follow this rhythm, but I was picking up all these different rhythms. I was feeling a figure eight rhythm that no one had ever told me about."
At first, she thought she was doing something wrong. It turned out that the in-out rhythm shuts off when the patient is experiencing a therapeutic release, and Jolene's clients were having that release right after she touched them.
"It turned out my hands and body had an innate knowledge and understanding of this work. I feel when a release is happening--it will go out my right or left side. I feel bones moving under my hands, all these tissues unwinding. My hands tingle, I feel energy going out my feet.
"To me, it's the most beautiful feeling in the world to be in that sacred space with my clients. It's so serene, it's so peaceful. It feels like I'm close to God. Like finally coming home."
The most intense moment in crania-sacral work is the "drop." This is the moment just before the release begins; it's where your conscious mind takes its leave and your brain goes into theta wave state, where the senses are withdrawn from the external world and focused on inner signals--deep emotions, creativity, memory, intuition.
Before I met Jolene, I'd been there once or twice briefly. With her, I went there almost instantly. And let me tell you, as someone who insists on understanding everything, that it feels fucking wonderful to have your mind take a long break and let your body's intelligence set you to rights.
It's impossible to keep track of time; I've woken up out of it believing that I've only got a few minutes left on the table, only to wake up all over again an hour later. When I do wake up, it feels as though something in me went to the bottom of the sea and came back up with something I'd been missing.
And sometimes really weird things happen in that theta state: for instance, the time I'm awakened out of the drop by the sound of my own voice. A gentle sort of bird call is issuing from my open mouth. It's like the sound a week-old baby might make in her sleep. I'm barely conscious enough to be a little embarrassed of it; definitely not enough to dwell on the feeling.
As odd as it is, the memory of it fades as I walk out into the leaf-blown parking lot, where the lights of passing bicycles and high-rises across the water and the purple dusk make all of southeast Hawthorne look like a garden party. I feel a little bit tired, but that's all. I have that vague feeling of having left something behind me by mistake.
Honestly, despite the memory of having made weird motions and noises, it can be a challenge to believe anything at all really happened in that room.
I've learned better than to talk much about CST to anyone else. And Jolene has the same experience. To her family, and even many of her friends, she's a "body therapist"--which feels weird, like she's not getting the credibility she went through so much training to earn.
But calling herself a "healer" feels too grand and self-important. It ignores the pivotal role that the patient has in the work.
"It is the people healing themselves, not me. I'm a channel; I illuminate this pattern in their bodies and encourage them in ways to fix it. I want my clients to be empowered to take that into their own hands, not need to come to me to fix it."
This is where it gets confusing, for Jolene as well as for me. I've tried many times to "fix" myself with relaxation techniques I've learned, and it only kind of works, sometimes, temporarily. Jolene says the same thing; she can sometimes heal from things by using CST holds on herself, but she does live with pain in her body that she can't fix.
"One of my teachers said healing needs to be witnessed. I don't understand why it works this way, but I wonder if there needs to be someone facilitating the healing for you because it needs to be witnessed."
Physical health is often accompanied by arrogance, and the medical establishment largely caters to that. "You deserve to be back on your feet in no time," they claim, "and these drugs will get you there." But when you do get sick and can't find an immediate cure, this arrogance turns into a self-identification with illness.
We've all met people who seem to take masochistic pleasure in their sickness, and the complicated regimen and halted ability it brings. (Maybe we've even been this person.) Chronic illness gives us an excuse for why we are the way we are. Healing asks us to become someone we're not...rather, someone we aren't yet.
Sitting in the anteroom before my appointment, I clutch my paper cup of tea, waiting for its warmth to spread through my cold gripped knuckles. What, I wonder, would the "better" version of me be? Will I turn into someone I don't know? Do I want this therapy to work, or do I just want to be made more comfortable in my disease?
For Jolene, on the other side of this question, wanting to be Jesus has its drawbacks; she wants so badly to see people healed that it can hinder the actual work.
"In that situation, my ego gets in the way, and I work exceptionally hard to get that person to unwind. I'm learning that if a soul is not ready to heal and transform, I can go nowhere with that person."
There's a lot of humility involved in healing--it's essentially asking for a miracle. What I didn't realize before that it's as much an act of humility on the part of the healer as it is for the patient. When Jolene comes to work, she's asking for the same miracle to come and give her release. She regularly grapples with doubt that what she has to offer will work.
"I have daily knee-jerk responses to throw out the subtleties and bury my elbow in someone's non-moving shoulder. But then I remember I did that and it wasn't enough! Sure, I could muscle my way into a body, but then I inevitably leave and the body is left feeling violated and alone, unsure how it got there."
It sounds weird to say this, but CST is a humble approach—Jolene sometimes calls it "feminine." It works through asking permission from the client's body, teaching it to become a willing participant in its own healing. It admits of much that we don't understand, and it works best in a medium of patience.
Maybe that's really what makes healing take place--the communal act of submission in faith that the miracle will come.
"I'm still learning the balance between the doing and the receiving. The allowing piece and the facilitating piece. I realized that it was something moving through me--I'm still coming to terms with what it is.
"I'm only as useful as the receiver allows me to be. Humbling beyond words, but also liberating once I truly believe it."

Scott Fankhouser (born July 1, 1975 in Bismarck, North Dakota) was an American ice hockey goaltender, he is currently the Assistant Coach for the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL.
Career Edit
Fankhouser began his career playing at NCAA level with the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He was employed mainly as a back-up goaltender in his first three years, managing just 38 appearances in three terms. In his final year at the University however, he stepped up to become first choice, and over 32 games kept his goals against average down to 2.78.
At the end of his university career, Fankhouser was drafted by the St. Louis Blues of the NHL and was initially sent to play for the Greenville Grrrowl in South Carolina at ECHL level, but during the season would also feature in two more leagues, the AHL and the IHL for the Louisville Panthers and the Orlando Solar Bears respectively. During this period, Fankhouser had also moved from being under contract to the Blues to sign for the Atlanta Thrashers, and would go on to make his NHL debut for his new team featuring in 16 top-level games.
The following season, Fankhouser would again play for the Thrashers several times, as well as a second spell at their IHL affiliate, the Solar Bears. Unfortunately for Fankhouser, these appearances would prove to be his last in the NHL to date. In the 2001/02 term, he would make another return journey, this time back to Greenville to play for the Grrrowl again. Fankhouser also enjoyed short spells with the Hershey Bears and the Chicago Wolves.
During the off-season, Fankhouser was again on the move, signing for the Reading Royals of the ECHL, but again did not complete a full season for one team, splitting his time with 19 games for the Arkansas RiverBlades. In 2003/04, Fankhouser would manage his first full season playing for one team since his University days, playing over 30 games in Germany for Bietigheim-Bissingen SC in the Second Bundesliga.
In 2004/05, Fankhouser returned to North America, again splitting his season, this time between the Toledo Storm and a short second spell back in Chicago. Fankhouser switched back to Europe again the season after, this time playing in the Austrian league for the Graz 99ers as their number one goaltender. He would remain in Austria the following season, but this time playing for the Vienna Capitals.
During the summer of 2005, Fankhouser again chose to remain playing in Europe, this time for the Manchester Phoenix in the EIHL, the top level of ice hockey in Britain. During his time at the Phoenix, Fankhouser established himself as the first choice goaltender and started the season well, winning the EIHL 'Player of the Week' award early in the term. Unfortunately this form did not last and Fankhouser was part of a notably leaky Manchester defence, regularly conceding more than five goals. He was released by the Phoenix following their exit from the first round of the post-season.
Fankhouser returned to North America and, along with Phoenix team-mate Jeff MacMillan signed for the Bloomington Prairie Thunder, a team icing in the United Hockey League. Fankhouser will be no doubt looking to re-capture his form after a disappointing 2007/08. He was called up by the Milwaukee Admirals of the American Hockey League in January 2009, however this was short term and he was soon returned to the lower UHL standard.

A wide and diverse range of Limerick buildings both old and new, with more homes this year, will be open to the public."
Open House was first established in London in 1992 to show first-rate architecture to the general public, stirring an interest for urban built heritage. Limerick is a member organisation of the Open House Worldwide Family which also includes London, New York, Helsinki, Melbourne, Slovenia, Barcelona and Dublin.
As well as featuring tours of more than 30 buildings of all types and periods, OpenHouse Limerick 2014 will also include a bus tour, lectures, exhibitions, walking tours and children's workshops. Architecture + Culture are the themes of OpenHouse Limerick 2014, tying in with Limerick City of Culture 2014.
OpenHouse Limerick 2014 will be launched on Friday 3rd October at 5.30pm at the Dance Limerick Space in John's Square with a performance by art collective Gothicise, a collaboration between Limerick School of Art & Design, LIT, Irish World Academy of Music and Dance in UL and independent artists. 'Waking St. Munchin' will bring the curse of St. Munchin to rest through cathartic rites of song music and performance. Open House Limerick is supported by the RIAI.
Highlights include:
The 19th century railway station house at Patrickswell, the new Mortuary Extension at University Hospital Limerick, Ardnacrusha Power Station, Limerick Circuit Courthouse, the Quaker Meeting House at Punches Cross and Sarsfield Barracks are amongst more than 30 buildings scheduled to be opened to the public, some for the first time, during the third annual initiative from 3rd-5th October.
The medieval Castlegarde building in Cappamore, the new academic block at Glenstal Abbey School, St. Mary's Cathedral and the Munster Council GAA Headquarters at Castletroy will also be opening to the public as part of this year's initiative, which is hosted by the OpenHouse Limerick Committee.
51 O'Connell Street will be the venue for 'Mortuary Mosaic', a portrait of the 19th century chapel by Feeney McMahon Architects and Aglet Architects. The exhibition focuses on the interior spaces and internal decoration of the chapel which has been lost from public view for 30 years. Supported by Limerick City of Culture 2014, the exhibition will be open during each day of OpenHouse Limerick with a presentation by the organisers at 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.
On Friday to Sunday, 69 O'Connell Street will host Beta-Block, an architectural exhibition featuring work in progress by various Limerick architects and asking the question of whether 21st century life can flourish in 18th century houses. The exhibition takes the form of a large architectural model of one Georgian city block, within which complementary visions for future city development are explored. This exhibition is supported by Limerick City of Culture and features a discussion at 3pm on the Saturday and Sunday hosted by architects.
OpenHouse Limerick 2014 will also feature an architectural bus tour with Emma Gilleece, allowing members of the public to hop on and off at buildings designed by Modernist architect Andy Devane (1917–2000) from the 1940s to the 1970s. The two-hour tour, which takes place Saturday 4th October from 11am, covers St. Mary's Girls School, St. Munchin's Boys School CBS, St. Munchin's Girls NS, St. Lelia's Church, Scoil Mháthair Dé, Dormitory building and the dining hall in Mary Immaculate College.
Tour Guide David Lee will host a walk focusing on the work and achievements of Limerick-based 19th century architect, James Pain. Known for his country homes and churches, he also designed a wide range of other building types. David Lee is an authority Pain and is the author of 'James Pain Architect', the first book devoted to the architect's work. The 75-minute walk commences from Jack Monday's Coffee House on Thomond Bridge Saturday 4th October at 2pm.
The full programme is available on OpenHouse Limerick 2014: www.openhouselimerick.ie or contact 061-407188 / email@example.com.

What is the advantage of construction hoist modular design and manufacturing?
For example, KANGBO rack and pinion hoist,
•The drive devices and cages of same series hoists are universal, can be matched freely, interchanged and exchanged.
•It is very convenient for installation and re-installation,
•The costs and errors of daily maintenance, transportation, inventory management can be significantly reduced.
How to make the Builders Hoists Installation Base?
1. When the total height of the mast is ≤ 100 m, the ground carrying capacity under the hoist foundation shall not be less than 0.1 MPa. When the total height of the mast is more than 100 m, the ground carrying capacity under the hoist foundation shall not be less than 0.15 MPa. The load borne by the foundation shall not be less than P.
2. The hoist foundation is the reinforced concrete foundation, and should be able to bear all loads under the worst conditions of the hoist operation. Before pouring the concrete foundation, the earth should be processed to ensure that the earth bearing capacity meets the requirements of the design drawing. And the earth should be Leveled and tamped.
While pouring the foundation, it is also necessary to consider the drainage measures of various foundations. The foundation and base-frame of the hoist are not allowed to be soaked in the water for long, to avoid corroding that influencing the performance of the hoists.
3. After determining without error, lay the steel bar as required by the foundation drawing, and meanwhile bundle the foundation embedded parts and foundation bolts with the steel mesh in the foundation firmly. Then pour the concrete. While pouring the concrete, pay attention to protecting the threaded hole of the embedded parts and the foundation bolts, and apply the grease for protection if necessary. The hoist foundation must be constructed and maintained in strict accordance with the requirements of the construction drawing. During the curing period of concrete, it is strictly prohibited to carry out the installation work.
Important notice: Before pouring the concrete foundation, it is necessary to measure the distance between center of the embedded frame to the wall surface that to be fixed tie-ins, and the position and dimension of the foundation bolt relative to the center of the embedded frame. While pouring the concrete, it is necessary to take measures to guarantee the embedded parts from displacement.

Credit card did not work at Encinitas Target, so....
"Nothing more than a mistake"
Eva Knott 1:52 p.m., Nov. 18
Year-end numbers are in at controversial for-profit college operator Bridgepoint Education, which has drawn criticism for its student recruiting practices and unusually high dropout rates. The San Diego-based company operates brick-and-mortar universities in Colorado and Iowa, though most of its students attend primarily online classes.
Business at Bridgepoint is good. Total revenue was $933.3 million in 2011, up $220 million from 2010. Net income rose $50 million to $172.8 million, or $3.02 per share of common stock.
"I am very pleased to report that both our institutions improved the quality of the student learning experience through the increased use of innovative technologies," said chief executive Andrew Clark in a statement released with earnings figures. "In 2011, we believe these investments in the student learning experience were responsible for improved student persistence and graduation rates, and we expect that our focus on these investments will continue to produce similar results in the future."
No examples of the "innovative technologies" were cited, nor were graduation statistics noted. The report did, however, include information on new and overall enrollment.
86,642 students were enrolled at one of Bridgepoint's two schools at the end of the year, an increase of nearly 9,000 as compared to year-end 2010. But the school, which runs year-round and is constantly recruiting, enrolled 13,500 new students in the fourth quarter of 2011 alone. The absence of graduation information on Bridgepoint's site, however, makes interpretation of these numbers challenging.
That is a nearly 20% profit margin, off the backs of the poor, middle class and taxpayers who will never be able to pay these loans back.
"Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too." (Judge Smales)

Chinese ride-hailing company Didi Chuxing said that it has acquired 99 in Brazil, confirming recent reports. Didi invested in 99 last year, and the companies share SoftBank as an investor.
Why it matters: Didi is now back to competing with Uber, this time in Brazil. The two ended their expensive rivalry in 2016 after Uber sold its Chinese operations to Didi, in exchange for an ownership stake.

Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn is a voice of one crying out in the wilderness!
Recently Flynn was verbally attacked by local black activists who claimed that he and his department weren't taking the recent officer-involved shooting death of Dontre Hamilton seriously enough.
Flynn was accused of insensitivity because he was on his cellphone during a Fire and Police Commission meeting related to the death of Hamilton. Unknown to the activists was that Flynn was receiving details of a drive-by-shooting that took the life of a 5-year-old girl as she sat on her father's lap. The girl Flynn was referring to was Laylah Petersen– who was actually shot in the head while sitting on her grandfather's lap.
Of course- just like the case of Ferguson, Missouri, charges of racism were being irresponsibly leveled at Flynn and his officers.

Let's be honest. There's not much else more strikingly beautiful or visually appealing than a home with a freshly painted exterior. And, before the holidays, before the hibernation associated with the harsh winters in New England sets in, we're here to remind you that you can still get your house painted quickly, professionally, and with lasting durability. Many people think that house painting in NH or MA is something that should be left for any time of the year except before the upcoming winter. However, painters in NH and MA know that paint can be applied and dry correctly as long as the temperature is above 35 degrees Fahrenheit. So, it's a little known fact that large home improvement projects in NH and MA like a complete exterior house painting can still be undertaken right now.
Our home improvement expertise:
At Corriveau Contracting, we are greatly aware of home owners' concerns during any home improvement projects, and have the experience to work with you to address such concerns. Our painters in NH and MA know that home owners can rest easy when they know how many of our employees will be working on your home, how quickly an exterior painting job will take, how clean the finished product will be, and, of course, that we're insured. We're also aware that unexpected variables can reveal themselves on a job site. We're prepared to run into any rotted siding that needs to be replaced, rather than merely painted over. We know that there may be things like your favorite plants, trees, or home gardens that need to be effectively covered and protected from any possible paint drips or spills. We're also ready for the occasional unexpected, cleverly hidden bee hive you never noticed!
Also, having the expertise and vast experience in other areas of home improvement in NH and MA, such as carpentry, cedar siding, new decks and home additions, as well as roofing and vinyl siding, our house painters know exactly what and how to protect all the important exterior areas of your home. When you choose Corriveau Contracting, you'll find you're in the hands of a team of true home improvement professionals.
So don't put off that exterior paint job you want just because of the upcoming cold. Let us warm you to the idea that a little cold shouldn't deprive you of the home you want.
To find out what we can do for you, call us today at (603)-880-9988.

GRANVILLE, Ohio-- Garrett Collier scored a career-high 18 points and added 12 rebounds helping Denison to a 76-69 season-opening victory over Otterbein on Wednesday night at Livingston Gymnasium.
The Big Red may have led for 32 of the game's 40 minutes but that lead never reached double figures. DU held a 36-30 lead at the half despite 13 points from Otterbein freshman Justin Carter.
In the second half, the Big Red crashed the boards and got a memorable performance from sophomore guard Jack Coulter. Playing the first extended minutes of his career, Coulter knocked down four of his game-high five 3-pointers in the second half.
Denison trailed 49-46 with 11:25 to play after a deep 3-pointer by Hunter Dennison. Coulter responded with a trey, sparking a mini 7-0 run for the Big Red which put them back on top by four with nine minutes to play.
The Cardinals kept hanging around and with 3:48 remaining Denison's lead was down to one at 67-66. One minute later, Coulter connected on his fifth triple of the game to put his squad up four. Over the final three minutes, DU outscored Otterbein 9-3 to clinch the win.
Collier, who is Denison's only returning starter from last year's 22-5 squad, 6-of-10 from the field for 18 points. He led all players with 12 rebounds and also chipped in four assists and two steals in 35 minutes.
Coulter finished with 15 points after going 5-of-8 from beyond the arc. In all, four players posted career-highs in points as Fred Brou (13) and Sheldon Freeman (nine) joined Collier and Coulter with new personal bests.
Also reaching double-figures was Matt Doyle with 10 points and seven rebounds.
Carter led Otterbein with 21 points on 7-of-11 shooting. Austin Springer followed with 19 points.
Denison shot 51 percent from the field (30-of-59) and dominated the glass 42-28.
The Big Red returns to action this weekend when they travel to the University Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia for a four-team tournament. Denison will play Cabrini College on Saturday, Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. and will return to action on Sunday against either Randolph College or Mary Washington.
