About Us
Click below to learn more about us!
I wanted to thank you for the courtesy that was shown towards my family and I. It's great to deal with a nice, fun, and professional staff. This was my daughters first time getting braces and I was very satisfied from the time I walked in until I left. The office was classy and again the staff was great. I recommend that if you are need of orthodontic services that you use NCOSO. I look forward to future visits and much success! Thanks a million.Read More
My daughter and I absolutely love North Carolina Oral Surgery and Orthodontics. I had a tooth extracted (ahhhh!) several months ago. Dr. Milewski was funny, caring, professional and willing to do whatever it took to make my experience pleasant. The staff feels like a family to Hetty and I. I look forward to going there and seeing the friendly staff and doctors. I even look forward to my reminder phone calls. Who says that about the orthodontist and oral surgeon?? We do!Read More
The wait time is non-existent. I don't have to dread waiting around the office for my turn or feeling like my precious time is being wasted. My appointment time is honored and even if I have 1,000 ridiculous questions, I am put at ease. The office is beautiful and clean and I feel like I'm at a celebrity office.Read More
My little girl is very young to have braces and they have taken exceptional care of her. My daughter loves going to the orthodontist and seeing Ms. Lori. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we'd look forward to managing her braces. I never had braces so the whole thing was seemingly overwhelming and new to me! If a wire comes out, or something unexpected happens, I know that they will be there to help me via phone, a quick visit, or moral support over the telephone (even on holidays or weekends!). I don't have to stress about what to do—the team at North Carolina Orthodontics and Oral Surgery will take care of us.Read More

After Donald Trump became the new President of the United States last week, the pot community started wondering what arguments against marijuana President Trump had and what they should expect from the new administration. Here are five possible scenarios of how Trump's presidency will affect the marijuana industry.
In the current marijuana legalization debate, Trump's position seems to be favorable for the cannabis community—during his presidential campaign, he has claimed that he supports the use of medical marijuana. However, the new President does not seem to be consistent about his campaign statements.
For instance, candidate Trump talked about his intention to build the wall between America and Mexico at the expense of the neighboring country. Now, President Trump claims that the construction costs will be put on Americans, and Mexico will reimburse the United States later.
So, nobody can be sure that he will follow his campaign promises related to marijuana.
Moreover, Jeff Sessions is most likely to be approved for the position of the attorney general, and he is a well-known opponent in the marijuana legalization debate.
Taking this into account, marijuana experts have predicted the following five scenarios of Trump's actions in relation to the marijuana industry.
President Trump has already spoken about his plans to liquidate anything associated with his predecessor. If the Trump administration can take on the termination of the insurance policy that affects nearly 22 million Americans, then marijuana users for them are a drop in the bucket. Sen. Sessions could arrange audits to check how well the current legal marijuana programs comply with the requirements of the Cole Memo. Any argument against marijuana programs can be used to hinder the advancements they have made so far.
There are concerns that the new government will be against marijuana for recreational use. Though President Trump allegedly supports the medical use of weed, he may start with the inspection of recreational retailers. These companies may face a seizure of property, and the lack of funds will not let them win the battle with the government. Although states can fight for the rights of their voters who have approved the adult use of marijuana, the recreational marijuana companies will still be under a lot of pressure.
Many experts believe that the marijuana legalization debate is not the top issue of the new administration, as there are many other problems, including heath care. However, some are concerned that patients in the states that are only going to legalize marijuana are not protected by the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment. The law protects the medical marijuana industry, but its action expires after April 28. The new government could also stay uncertain about the herb: not really saying that marijuana should not be legalized but at the same time not supporting the notion either.
There are high chances that the Trump administration will leave the marijuana industry as it is. If President Trump takes no actions against marijuana, then the Cole Memo will remain in effect, and states with legal weed will carry out their marijuana policies without interference. According to the latest polls, most Americans support the marijuana legalization, and the states are happy with the revenue that the weed industry brings.
It should be taken into account that Trump is a businessman, and even if he thinks that marijuana should not be legalized, he also understands how much money it brings to the nation. Moreover, he is interested in new jobs, and the marijuana industry provides 100,000-150,000 jobs across the country. Some experts predict that Trump could reschedule marijuana in order to gain millions of new supporters. He had claimed that marijuana profits should be taken out of the black market, so he could make banks start servicing marijuana companies and customers. Trump likes shocking actions, so it is possible that he could open the marijuana market for export and bring additional money to the U.S.

Proposal to Limit the Pardon Power
Democrat Steve Cohen (TN) has introduced a constitutional amendment this week that would " kep presidents from "pardoning themselves, their families, members of their administration or people who worked on their campaign." Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) has also introduced an amendment to "prevent the president from pardoning himself." See story here.

Blamey Saunders hears can provide a pair of hearing aids for $2000–$6000 with performance that our competitors sell for $10,000 (or more). When you spend $10,000 on a pair of hearing aids through conventional sales channels, less than 1/3 of the money goes to the cost of the hearing aid itself. The other 2/3 goes to a mark-up or commission, to pay for the services required to measure your hearing, adjust the hearing aid, to pay for the high proportion of returned hearing aids, and to pay the high overheads of retail outlets.
At Blamey Saunders hears, you are buying hearing aids from the Australian inventors and audiologists who believe in a fair go for everyone. Prof Peter Blamey and Dr Elaine Saunders have spent most of our lives working to provide better hearing to millions of people worldwide. We have developed free and effective measures for measuring hearing online and within the hearing aid itself. We have developed the IHearYou technology to help you adjust your own hearing aids at home, avoiding high overheads and bundled services that you may not need. Our online service is second to none, and we have the lowest return rates for hearing aids anywhere in the world.
You could, of course, spend the same amount of money on an inferior product or three times the money on a comparable product. These choices have always been available, but now there is a new, better choice based on Australian science. You'll be joining thousands of happy customers.
Professor Peter Blamey's inventions are used in our hearing aids as well as in the bionic ear. The peer-reviewed proven technology is called ADRO®, designed to make sound audible and comfortable for the listener. You can request a link to the relevant scientific papers.
Contact us for more information
The adaptive amplifier technology in our hearing aids has been tested in clinical trials and was preferred by the majority of users, when compared to the compression technology used in most conventional hearing aids. It adapts to keep sound comfortable without distortion.
We could write pages and pages about the decades of leading Australian research used in our hearing aids, including 64 or 96 frequency channels, automatic adaptive directional microphones, fast adaptive feedback cancellers, and ultra-low delay processing. But really, it's the great outcomes and convenience to thousands of customers that we are really proud of.
We have an online guide
Yes, our warranty details are available online.
Yes, but we strongly recommend two hearing aids from day one. Two ears are best for balanced sound, and also directionality and background noise.
Blamey Saunders Opus hearing aids are on the Government Top Up hearing aid list.
We aren't able to offer a reduction on the hearing aid price for pensioners, as we already set our prices very low for a premium quality hearing aid. Pensioners may be eligible for government hearing aid subsidies through other Government hearing aid suppliers. We encourage eligible pensioners to investigate this option first. We have kept prices as low as possible for everyone, and our prices are lower than most 'top up' options available to Government Hearing Aid Voucher holders.
We recognise what our veterans have done for Australia, and the extra needs you may have, so we are proud to offer veterans with a gold or white card a significant discount on our hearing aids via a cash-back.
Read more about our veterans offer
Most of our clients claim their hearing aids on their health insurance, but rules regarding online product purchases do vary from fund to fund. Blamey Saunders hears does not guarantee you will receive a health fund rebate and does not make private health insurance claims on behalf of customers for hearing aid purchases. We provide a tax invoice with all purchases and consultations. Our audiologists' provider numbers are supplied for consultations. With HBF, Blamey Saunders hears provider number is B17907 (item number 400).
Dispatch usually occurs within a few business days, sometimes next business day. In metropolitan Australia, delivery is usually one or two days after dispatch.
There is no GST on hearing aids in Australia, however international orders may attract local duties and taxes (for example New Zealand GST) upon delivery.

"One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure that it's worth watching."

Hanging 10 on couch-surfing
Maybe a year or so ago, Joseba and I got started on couchsurfing.com and I wrote a little blog about it. Anyone remember? Couchsurfing is that website that is a social network where people travelling can connect, meet up and sleep over at people's homes where they are visiting. But it's more than just crashing on someone's couch, the website community seeks to bring people all over the world together while sharing different ideas and finding similarities.
Having finally settled into our home in San Sebastian, we decided to get back into the couchsurfing action and updated our profile. Here we were able to convey what kind of hosts we would be and what kind of people we are as well as who we are looking to host. With photos of our seperate travels and trips together along with this blog's quote ''One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure that it is worth watching'' along with some other info, we basically showed the world that we are a happy-go-lucky couple hoping to meet new people and share experiences with people from all around the world who are equally openminded. With that done, we just waited and sha-bammmm then came the requests.
Possibly because we live in a goregeous little beach town or maybe because our improved profile was so awesome, we got a lot of requests. Couchsurfing doesn't require you to accept all the people who request to stay with you, of course. They recommend reading each request well and checking out the person's profile and seeing thier feedback other people have left about them. A few requests were just 'hey, I'm coming to San Sebastian and need a place to stay for 3 nights, can I stay with you?' To these we normally responded no, because we didn't sign up for this site to be somebody's free hotel. We signed up because we like Couchsurfing's vision: A world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with people and places they encounter. Then came a request from a French girl from Bordeaux.
Geraldine introduced herself and explained that her and her best friend had always heard great things about Donostia and wanted to explore it themselves, seeing as it is quite close. They had read our profile well and even my blog and requested a weekend that we had free, so after reading her profile and seeing her gusto for life, we decided to say yes. The clencher for me was the quote on her profile by Mark Twain that I just love: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed with the things you didn't do than the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. And that was that - we started planning for their arrival excitedley.
They arrived via train and had already told us some great news - that 1) they would be arriving with a surprise and 2) they were going to cook us lunch. We couldn't have been happier. We headed off to the grocery store where they did thier shopping and told us they would be making...crepes! So French! At home they gave us the surprise - handmade cinnamoon pastries (Les Cannelés Bordelais) that are very typical from the Brittany region of France, where the friend, Fanny, was from. Delicious! With dessert before lunch we soon enjoyed our crepes with ham, cheese, tomato and egg. Mmm mmm.
Excited to show them our little city we headed out to see the town and weren't a bit impeded by the heavy snowfall! Both of them were so happy to see the city - the old part, the pintxos, the beach, the buildings - everything. We wandered around for a bit until we decided that it was just too cold to be touristy and headed to a chill bar where we talked about everything from our travel's to love. Hours passed in the cafe and we all just clicked, talking away and enjoying each other's company. Geraldine had lived in India for a year teaching French and had many amazing experiences to share. Joseba has also travelled to quite exotic places and happily told us about his trips. We learned about them and them about us - it's exactly what couchsurfing was set up to create!
The rest of the trip was equally as nice. With lots of laughing as well as tasty treats, we were delighted that they had requested our couch for a weekend. We spoke mostly in English, but from time to time, Joseba would bust out some French - he actually speaks some. Whereas, from time to time I would bust out some of my French which consists of ballet words and phrases like fli fly flew. This garnered quite a bit of laughter and lead them to ask me where I learned such an accent? Beauty and the Beast, but of course mademoiselle! We even watched a couple clips of the film, and they were shocked with Lumiere's accent. Apparently in the French version, he obviously cant have a silly French voice, but instead has a Spanish one.
They gave us a mix tape of French music they like and in return we made one for them - not just exchanging stories but music too! We even made plans to head up to Bordeaux one weekend and visit them - which will be our first time 'surfing' and not hosting - woo hoo!
So thank you couchsurfing, for creating a place to meet people from all over the world and enjoy new experiences. We definitley enjoyed our weekend getting to know two new friends and showing them our version of Donostia. And in 20 years, I agree with Mark Twain and I can surely say we won't be disappointed by having hosted these two nice girls!

It's been well over a month since I wrote the post about pruning my list to get rid of all the deadwood. By deadwood I'm referring to those subscribers who have never bothered, or hardly ever, to read my emails. Normally I'd just let them go to build up my list numbers except that I'm rewarding my list members by placing a link to their site from my List page and I figured it just wasn't fair to reward them if they weren't holding up their end.
That post included a youtube video showing my readers how MailChimps star system highlighted the quality of your subscribers. This post has a video which shows how to use that star system to separate the good subscribers from the bad ones.
Pruning Your List With MailChimp
I have to admit I was surprised how simple the procedure was and I am really glad that I did it. I have to admit there were a few bloggers who were regulars and I struggled with the decision as to whether or not I should delete them with the general culling and in the end I decided it was the only fair thing to do.
The Positives Of Pruning Your List
I know that there were a few comments in that first post where people thought I was crazy for pruning my list as they felt that the deadwood may actually come to life one day. Well, as far as I'm concerned deadwood is deadwood and you're better off clearing them out of the way so you can concentrate on growing your live limbs.
There are also certain positives for pruning your list.
- If you have a large list and are paying for the amount of emails you're sending out pruning your list will reduce those costs.
- Having a more dedicated list will also improve your open and click through rate which will give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling when you check your campaign reports
- In my situation I know I am only rewarding those subscribers who are actually interested in what I have to say which is as it should be.
I've also made sure that any new subscribers know what to expect when subscribing to my list, that I only want dedicated members, ones who actually read my emails occasionally and that I will be pruning my list on a regular basis.
What's that, how many did I cull in the pruning process? Reckon you'll have to watch the video to see that.

Are you ready for the workout of your lifetime for your gut and glutes? You just need 18 minutes and you will absolutely love this workout for the rest of your life.
This fast-and-furious RIPTENSITY routine, has three bodyweight exercise pairings. Each pair consist of one core move and one lower-body move that you'll do for 30 seconds each.
By alternating between the front side and the back side of your body, you'll pack on rock-hard muscle faster. You may wonder why is that. That's because one muscle group can recover while the other is working. For example, you can give 110 percent during your gut exercise for 30 seconds, knowing that your abs will get a break when it's time to work your butt, and vice versa.
The workout does also something else, it will practically unleash an assault on fat. It targets trouble zones like your gut and butt, and includes strategically placed sport-inspired cardio bursts that elevate your heart rate and rev your fat burners.
Here's the the recipe for getting lean and ripped.
The Gut and Glutes Gauntlet
Gut: Jumping Spider Plank, 30 seconds
Glutes: Reverse Lunge Skip, 30 seconds
Rest 30 seconds. Repeat, and then move on to the next pair.
Gut: Spider Kick Through Plank, 30 seconds
Glutes: Sprinter Knee Drive, 30 seconds
Rest 30 seconds. Repeat, and then move on to the next pair.
Gut: Jumping Knee Tuck Plank
Glutes: Squat Jump
Rest 30 seconds. Repeat.
That's 1 full round. Do 1 more.

Writing Powerful Nuclear Weapons Essays
Writing Powerful Nuclear Weapons Essays
Since the very creation of an atomic bomb, it has become an eternal controversial issue. The main controversial point about nuclear weapons is whether it is going to save or destroy the world. Probably, throughout its short history, nuclear weapons have proved to be a deterrent factor. However, we are all aware of the tragic cases when atomic bombs were not used for good intentions.
So, let us talk about your nuclear weapons essay. What do you need to write a powerful nuclear weapons essay? Definitely, a good topic is one of the main secrets of successful atomic bomb essays. Then, let us not waste time and discuss some of the possible topics.
- First, atomic bomb essays can be completed in the general scope. You can just give your vision of whether we really need nuclear weapons. Use your analytical skills and try to say what the future might be like without this weapon. Is it going to be a chaos or peaceful and fearless existence?
- Your nuclear weapons essay can be devoted to the nuclear programs of particular countries. For instance, you can tell about Russia, since it possesses one of the largest nuclear arsenals. Or, in your atomic bomb essay, you can discuss the programs of so-called rogue-states like North Korea or Iran.
- If some of you are interested in technical aspects, your nuclear weapons essays can be devoted to the following issues: atomic submarines; technical characteristics and abilities of particular missiles (Trident, Topol-M, Minuteman); different types of missiles delivery and so on.
- Finally, one of the most significant topics that can be discussed in atomic bomb essays is the measures that are taken to stop the proliferation of nuclear weapons. Make an analysis of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Strategic Arms Limitation Treaties.
You see, the topic of nuclear weapons is not new. That is why you will have to work hard to present a catchy atomic bomb essay.

The HTC Desire C offers up by 3G connectivity and Wi-Fi b/g/n, letting you get online easily.
HTC has gone to town with its Sense overlay on the browser, which aesthetic tweaks here and there, allowing it to blend in with the rest of the user experience.
It's a clear and concise layout, which is easy to navigate, but tap in a web address and hit go and the 600MHz processor comes to haunt you.
There is a significant wait time for pages to load, with content heavy sites taking 15 seconds or so to load, even when connected to Wi-Fi.
The small screen means a lot of zooming is required on non-mobile sites and the HVGA resolution means it isn't the clearest, with text and images appearing slightly pixelated.
The larger 4-inch display on the Ascend G300, coupled with its faster processor, gives a much better browsing experience than the Desire C.
A useful addition on the browser is the Read function. This button appears next to the URL bar on certain websites, such as those with news articles, and tapping it will strip all the ads, headers and images, serving up just the text in a zoomed in view, making it easy to digest.
Zooming is easy, with the standard pinch controls, but it's not as smooth as phones with beefier chips, with text and images taking a couple of seconds to render each time you zoom in or out.
The Desire C does re-flow the text automatically when you zoom in, which is a handy feature and makes reading longer articles easier.

Rolling Off
Today finds me writing another blog post with yet another child at home. Maybe I'm finding time to write since I am housebound due to illness. My run for this morning and my Costco trip have been waylaid along with my workout at my ninja gym.
Things have been kind of weird over here. I have been very much enjoying most of my evenings at home these days. I can't believe I am saying this but cooking for my family in the evening has been rewarding (or maybe it's that little glass of "cooking wine" I discovered) and being here all the hours with them has been fun. Every day isn't a party but we have found ourselves having impromptu wrestling matches and family games develop like "Ball Face". I said Family Fun! Get your mind out of the gutter. Anyway. this game is literally trying to hit the other person in the face with a ball. My kids found it so ridiculously fun my daughter deemed Monday nights "Ball Face Night". Even though I would only be gone an hour or two several evenings out of the week guiding my running groups it was enough to miss out on these little things. So when I was asked recently to run a Jeff Galloway training group this summer I was caught a bit off guard. My first thought, of course, was definitely NO!
I know about Jeff. I know about his system but I don't know his system. I have since decided it would be a good learning experience and could actually fit in with my HR training so I said Yes. The commitment is only one day on the weekend. Of which my kids don't miss me too much those mornings, if they even notice I am gone at all. So a fun new adventure is in the works for Pip Running.
My running. What has been happening with my running? I have been working on the sub 127 HR for a few weeks now. I did my first MAF Test on March 6th. I got a 9 or 10 on my HRV that morning so I said let's do it. I started out with a 1 mile walk to my starting point then did a 5 mile jog (which actually turned into a 6 mile jog) as a warm up. I came back to the soccer fields did a 2 mile MAF test there running laps then a 1 mile walk/jog warm down home. I felt pretty good through the whole thing although I seemed to run through every type of weather system. There was sun, wind, snow and ice rain. My times weren't great but hopefully with dropping my HR 5 beats I'll start to see more improvement.
I was pretty happy to see that my HR stayed below 150 even when it spiked up a bit. Those spikes were very short and the intervals are getting closer together (run/walk) in which I hope they just become run. With the take off and landing in running causing the HR to spike up I try to keep my take-offs to a roll-off. If you've ever taken a Chi Running class you may be familiar. I try to keep my cadence high so my feet are off the ground as quick as possible with trying to keep the impact as minimal as possible. The test went as it should with the 2nd lap taking a slight bit longer than the 1st. If I went on to do more laps each successive lap should take a little bit longer than the previous.
Above is my HRV graph for the week I did the MAF Test. March 5th I received a reading of 3 so I took that day as a recovery day. On March 6 I received a 10 on my HRV so decided this was the day to test. I should note that I got my period later that day which may account for the low HRV the day before. I think the same thing happened last month which is something I will keep a watch on. March 10th was another day that I received a 10 on my HRV. I have been chomping at the bit to do some intervals. It has been a long time, months, since I've done any type of speed work. Since I was training at too high of a HR I was going to wait another 8 weeks at the lower HR but I just felt the need. So I went out on Friday 3/10 and did 5 sprints across the soccer field. I walked a mile first, than ran 1 mile at a tempo pace which maybe I shouldn't have done, did some drills and dynamic stretching before going into my sprints. They felt good. I took some video so I could analyze form but I wasn't happy with the quality. Maybe something not to be done by yourself. Hopefully I can coax one of my friends out there next time to grab video for me. Here are the results:
First of all I realize now these sprints weren't long enough. I needed to go about 30 more yards. Man it felt long though! I also was only planning on doing 4 but I was trying to get a side view video which of course I didn't think of until after I did 4. Work in progress.
I've been cooking up a storm over here lately and trying to toggle meals around to keep my carbs below 30g (20g ideally) and my protein to around 70-80g. Carbs not so much of an issue but there is protein in everything! I have had the most problem keeping that in check. I've done more intermittent fasting over the last week and did both my MAF test and sprints fasted. I did not feel any energy drain before, during or after. Here's a couple pics of the fabulous meals we've been eating (well Mike and I- The kids barely try any of it):
Brussels Sprouts and Hamburger Gratin via DietDoctor.com
I'll have to tell you about my awesome Chocolate Avocado smoothie next time. Well I got most of the recipe elsewhere but I have tweaked it to be my own. I'm a bad Keto-er with my lack of avocado eating. I try to add it in here and there but there is such a small window on when these things are really ripe I tend to miss it. Anyway I think these avocado smoothies have helped and man do they keep you full!

"Put 2 cups soymilk in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring
constantly, until volume is reduced to 1 cup. Cool. Store in jar in fridge."
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Oh Gawd! The boy is cooking again!
I was sitting around trying to think of something different for dessert on Thursday, And since I have all this pureed pumpkin in the freezer I thought Pumpkin Pie (sticks finger in nose and announces "BORING") and it came to me- Pumpkin Cre'me Brứlee'. I saw Michael Chiarello make his version of this on Food Network, and I adapted it into my own little recipe. His version calls for using left over pumpkin pie stuffed into a ramekin, mine is a tad bit more involved, using my pumpkin pie recipe with no crust- but very easy! And yes, I washed the finger I stuck in my nose!
Pumpkin Cre'me Brứlee'
2 cups of pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin
1/2 cup of firm brown sugar
2 eggs or (vegans- 1/2 cup of egg substitute)
1 tablespoon of Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 can (12 ounces) Nonfat evaporated Milk or for vegan recipe, as Chile writes in her blog try making some evaporated soy milk (cook down to double-strength) for pie or as Chile says:
Preheat oven to 350. In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin, brown sugar, egg, pumpkin pie spice and non-fat evaporated milk. Carefully pour into Ramekins leaving about a quarter inch of room. Place Ramekins on a cookie sheet and Bake in 350 oven for 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of one of the Ramekins comes clean. Let cool on the counter. Place into the frididaire. Chill
Before serving, sprinkle about 1 1/2 Tablespoons of sugar over each "custard". To get it crusty, Take your Blowtorch (I love cooking when there is the chance of danger) and aim the flame just above the sugar, just out of reach , until sugar starts to turn brown. Or use The whimps method: Simply place the sugared custards under a hot broiler and watch for browning, when evenly browned, Serve with a small dallop of whipped creme on it, and perhaps a berry for garnish. And yes this is also my favorate pumpkin pie recipe- you just pour the pumpkin mixture in a pie crust and bake for 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle comes clean. Hmmm- a Cre'me Brứlee' pie???
Quick tip- Don't have ramekins? try using 1/2 pint wide mouth mason jars- then you have a screw on lid if you need to take them somewhere

I've done this before with leftover pie filling. It's soooo tasty!
By the way, Rob, I saw sumac in the new spice rack at Whole Foods. I bought some. Now what do I do with it?

Around here - The middle eastern expert is Martin-he has one recipe he uses it for- nut it is great used in place of paprika, also I like on rice, or sprinklr on Naan or pita bread. I started using it because Martin cooks a homemade dish about as often as I part my hair to the left and it is a big jar and I hate waste. Same thing goes for Fish Sauce.

It's a great idea! I don't know if my family would allow me to replace the maple pumpkin cheesecake but I am definitely going to try it with some of the pumpkin I have leftover.

Nutrition Column: Breastfeeding helping Kate lose the baby weight
Kate Middleton looks fabulous in the press, one of the reason why she might look so great is that she is reportedly breastfeeding her baby.
Breastfeeding mother tend to lose their baby weight more quickly than mothers who choose to bottle-feed.
Producing breast milk is an active metabolic process, this means that it uses on average 200-500calories per day. A bottle feeding mother would have to swim at least 30 laps in a pool or cycle uphill for an hour daily, not easy for anyone to do especially if you have a little one to take care of as well.
Other research has shown breastfeeding give a child a great start in their health life with lower risk of many health problems such as obesity, diabetes, asthma. There are also some interesting studies linking a higher IQ in breastfed children. Health benefits are also accrued to mum with a lower risk of breast and other cancers. Whilst it goes without saying that breastfeeding increases the bonding between mum and child.
Current recommendation are that babies are breastfed for at least the first 6 months and as the World Health Organization has stated it is a lucky child who is breastfed after the first year of life. It is vital those new mums who choose to breastfeed are supported to help commence and keep up breastfeeding.

March Madness again! Winthrop win, NCAA tourney bid puts Rock Hill back on national stage
Winthrop Coliseum wasn't a church Sunday, but it sure seemed like one. The seats were for show. Everybody stood. They held hands. They sang. They prayed. They cheered. They were one. The church of basketball, and community, brought to Rock Hill and York County by the one thing that can unite all of us.
A winner.
A dancing winner, because Winthrop and Rock Hill and York County are back on the map again for all America to see, for something that does not involve division and arguing and politics. Joy spread through the place, as tangible as any church, a wave of happiness and togetherness and fellowship as Winthrop University's mens basketball team demolished Campbell 76-59 in front of a berserk crowd of more than 5,100 people.
The crowd danced. They jumped. They leaped and yelled and they would not be denied.
"We're Number One!" The crowd screamed.
On a Sunday afternoon in Rock Hill — they were right.
One of those people was a fan named Marvin Johnson. Rock Hill all his life. A Winthrop fan forever. Johnson has been a fan when there were so few people at the arena that a belch got you thrown out for being boisterous.
"This crowd, this team, this togetherness, is what Rock Hill, South Carolina is all about," Johnson said. "You look around and see what a winner brings. It brings people together."
A year ago in January, the only larger crowd at the coliseum was for Donald Trump - before he was president. It was national news. And a couple months before that, Winthrop hosted the Democratic candidates on campus as America watched that, too.. The whole country saw Winthrop.
But they saw the divisions of partisan politics. Of us and them.
Not the unity of sports.
This was not the news of students protesting over the name of Tillman Hall on campus. This was students and old ladies and fathers holding babies and mothers screaming until they were hoarse standing together, all of them from every background, for a team that would not be denied.
Their shirts said: 'Rock The Hill." "Do what we do." And so many shirts that were emblazoned with the simple word that united them all: "Winthrop!"
The Sunday crowd with its men and women, its black and white faces, its young and old, was something different than politics. It showed what a team, and a school, and a community, can do when it is all together cheering for the same thing.
And more.
Because for the next 10 days, every sports show on television on ESPN, every Internet posting of the tournament, will have the name Winthrop on it. The nation and world will look up Winthrop online and see Rock Hill, South Carolina. York County.
They will see the best of us.
Not Charlotte. Not Clemson — although Clemson's football national title remains a crowning achievement for South Carolina. But Winthrop — the team that a decade ago, stunned Notre Dame during a great run of NCAA appearances when Winthrop was the perennial upset special in the brackets people pick.
Get ready to fill out your bracket again, America — write in Winthrop.
Live the dream, baby. Rock the Hill.
After the game was over the students and other fans rushed the court to be a part of that frenzied and joyous scrum on the court where all people jump together and hug and point their fingers in the air and proclaim : We are Number One!"
On a Sunday afternoon, there was no denying it. It was true. It was real. It was what the students and city and county had waited so long to come back again.
The tournament.
For students at Winthrop Kina Crawley, Abby Frick, Macey Bosley, Emily Crick, Megan David and JoJo Taylor, they had heard all about Winthrop's past greatness and NCAA appearances. But Sunday, they were a part of sending the team there.
And really, sending every student and alum and member of the community there helped make it happen.
Before those lady students left, they all gathered together and were asked to tell America where they were, and where Winthrop is. Together, they all shouted: "Rock Hill, South Carolina!"

More Bill Stories
A billboard named you-know-what meets a ceiiing fan named Ornalyce (boy did we fight over that name) out along Rt 66 in the Arizona desert. This incredible tale stretches out 13 minutes because we couldn't stop!
This time Bill is a water pipe. He's not exactly the life of the party until he meets a coffee pot named Lila. When destiny appears to separate these two friends, Lila takes matters into her own hands.
This story was the brainstorm of the bright young minds to the right.
The last session of the summer was our biggest. So when it came time to brainstorm our Bill story, kids had to learn when to jump in – and when to follow someone else's lead. After all, at the end of the day it is about creating a stellar story.
This story is a great one. The pivotal turns are wondrous. When we needed a 3rd character to liven things up, the walking stick was selected. And this early skeptic turned into a believer.
Some days are challenging in this business. But as I was laying music tracks I had written and produced over 30 years ago for another story – and they magically fell into
place – I realized, yes, magic is definitely the word.

The Chanel Bowl
Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it's not luxury_ Coco Chanel
The Chanel bowl, in the Live a Life You Love range, was inspired by the great Coco Chanel. In the same way that she revolutionised woman's fashion, we have taken away, to bring a sleek, comfortable bowl. Fashion prior to her, comprised of expensive fabrics, lace, bows and constricting corsets. She preferred in-expensive cotton and introduced an androgynous comfort to enable women to play tennis and relax in looser timeless fits. The Chanel bowl works from display, to oven to table and makes for a chic TV or patio meal. Coupled with linen napkins and simple utensils, the Chanel bowl is timeless and chic. Equally popular for the "Lang Tafel" style of dining, the innovation of South Africa's Isabella Niehaus at her exclusive duinhuis luncheons. This sumptuous bowl works so well as a lover's pair – a symbol of togetherness and unity – the perfect wedding or anniversary gift. Use your Chanel bowl from breakfast through to dinner, and while not in use enjoy her sleek silhouette from your dresser/countertop.

"Changes they are a Comin"
-Bob Dylan
You may have noticed a change to the AAE Glass Education Center. AAE Glass has been in the process of overhauling the Education Center for several months.
It is almost time to bring it live!
We can see the finish line and I promise you, it will be worth the wait. In order to cross that finish line we need your help and most of all your patience. This new education center is one of the biggest projects we have ever taken on and we believe it will change the way you learn fused glass techniques.
What is going to make it so great you ask? Well, if you get internet anywhere in the world, you will be able to learn some of the same techniques Tanya teaches in her workshops, as well as some she doesn't. Tanya will be offering several beginner and advanced paid video lessons to go along with the dozens of free video tutorials she currently offers. If you have always wanted to take a workshop from Tanya, but couldn't get to Cape Coral, Florida, you will now be able to learn online at your own pace, in your own home or studio. Based on the number of requests we have received to do this, that is a large number of you!
There will also be pdf tutorials, product videos, marketing articles and tips and tricks about glass fusing. This has all been designed to help you grow as an artist as well as a business. We can't wait to see what you do with all of this information once Tanya is unleased around the globe.
To reward the loyal customers who have supported AAE Glass and Tanya Veit from the beginning, as well as those who are just hopping aboard the train, we will be offering education coins with your purchase. You can collect education coins and use them for discounts on paid videos.
We can't say thank you enough to everyone who has supported AAE Glass since it was a pipe dream in a basement a few years ago. Tanya has released some pictures on Facebook recently of some new processes she has been working on. These will all be available in the new education center. As well as the dozens of other ideas Tanya has been keeping on the backburner for the past several months. The future of warm glass is now!

Unit leader, camp promise-West
When was your first year at Camp Promise?
Why do you keep coming back to camp?
There is no place like Camp Promise; it truly is the land where pigs fly. I love soaking up all the positive, vibrant energy from everyone at camp and holding onto it as inspiration to be my best self for the rest of the year!
What's your favorite camp theme day and why?
Cabin Color Day because it fosters team spirit and cabin rivalries. Plus, my green cabin inevitably ends up looking like aliens, ninja turtles or Tinkerbell. Also, this summer Cabin Color Day coincided with the total solar eclipse, which was epic. The eclipse was a hit, we should do it every year!
What's your favorite camp memory?
I'll never forget the full reenactment of Dirty Dancing's "Time of Your Life" at the Camp Promise-West 2015 prom. However, cruising on the pontoon boat also tops the charts.
If we did a talent show right now, what would your talent be?
I'd whip out my accordion and play "Sanctuary."
What's your day job?
While not at Camp Promise, I am currently "funemployed," but working hard towards my goal of becoming a pediatrician. This leaves me enough time to play with my dogs, Gilly and Luna, and tend to my garden! And, I'll be starting medical school in the fall of 2018.
Anything else you want the world to know?
"She's just a desert girl, living in a Cali world. She takes the midnight train to Pacific Northwest" -Journey. You won't catch me in rainy Seattle any time BUT the summer.

The Quest Spectrum Platform is designed and developed for open and minimally invasive image-guided surgery. Our technology enables surgeons to create contrast between biological tissues that are indistinguishable with the naked eye.
This contrast is created by using fluorescent imaging; a revolutionary method in which biological structures are visualised with fluorescent tracers. The Quest Spectrum Platform is a medical device that is able to visualise the fluorescent tracers. Due to the imaging in the near-infrared, just outside the spectrum visible for humans, the system can provide the additional information to the surgeon to improve their decision-making-process during surgery.
The Quest Spectrum Platform is the most advanced total solution for intraoperative fluorescence imaging. The key benefits of the Quest Spectrum Platform are:
- Simultaneously capturing (no switching) of natural coloured images and up to two fluorescent images.
- Usage for open and laparoscopic procedures in one medical device.
- Capturing High Definition (HD) images with great sensitivity due to dedicated sensors.
- Recording real-time videos and stills/photos.
- Stabilising arm provides stabilisation and positioning of the camera, without requiring assistance from other OR personnel
Benefits of the Quest Spectrum™ Camera:
The Quest Spectrum Camera is the core compartment of the Quest Spectrum Platform. This camera possesses a unique prism technology that is able to simultaneously capture information from visible and near-infrared light sources in high definition (HD). By combining 3 sensors this technology allows for real-time visualisation of the "visible" natural image and up to two "invisible" fluorescent images.
The information captured with the Quest Spectrum Camera can be visualised in two different modes as shown on the right. In the first mode, the standard colour image is separately evaluated from the fluorescent image to clearly identify the fluorescent active tissues. In the second mode, the natural image is overlaid with one of the fluorescent images. This allows direct assessment of the location of the targeted tissue without any delay.
Quest Spectrum™ Optics
The Quest Spectrum Platform is specially designed to combine the procedures of open and laparoscopic surgery by simply switching the attachment of the Quest Spectrum Camera. When the surgeon has the urge to make the switch, this switch can be performed during surgery. The Quest Spectrum Ring Light is used for open procedures and the Quest Spectrum Laparoscope is used for laparoscopic procedures.
The Quest Spectrum Ring Light is attached to the Quest Spectrum Camera during open surgeries. The Quest Spectrum Ring Light is a sophisticated lens surrounded by an eight-piece Ring Light. The eight-piece Ring Light has an integrated light cable which connected to the Quest Spectrum Light b Engine. This design is used to optimally illuminate the targeted area of the patient. Light reflected and emitted by the patient is projected to the Quest Spectrum Camera with minimal chromatic aberrations.
Quest Spectrum™ Light Engine
The Quest Spectrum Light Engine has been developed to generate white and near-infrared light that can be used in both operating modes of the Quest Spectrum Platform. The light generated by the Quest Spectrum Light Engine illuminates the surgical field. Illumination of the surgical field using the near-infrared part of the light excites the fluorescent tracer which in turn emits light towards the Quest Spectrum Camera. The lasers and LEDs in the Quest Spectrum Light Engine are designed in a modular fashion. This allows us to adjust the properties of the Quest Spectrum Light Engine to your applications.
The Quest Spectrum™ Platform is available through IEL in the UK and Ireland and sold by Quest.

Some people have asked for a breakdown of my current workouts and I'm happy to share! I have basically been doing a few of the workouts from the Live Fit program, just lifting heavier than I did last year. I break out my workouts into legs, shoulders, back, biceps and triceps.
I always warm up with a 5 minute walk on the treadmill at about 4.0, no incline. Then, I do my 3 planks and onto my weight workout. On Monday, I lifted shoulders and did the workout below with the weights indicated. Those weights are heavy for me, I'm struggling to lift the last two, but I can do it without a spotter with good form. I'm trying to grow my muscle, which is why I'm lifting heavier with lower repetitions or "reps". The picture below was snapped mid-workout, when my shoulders were getting pumped up. The 40 pound EZ-curl bar is what I was using for Upright Rows.
I wanted to include a photo of the exercise in case you aren't familiar with it by name. I'm not always familiar with the names either, so sometimes when I'm at the gym, I'll just google the exercise on my phone to find out what it is. I especially like to search for a "video" that way I can see exactly how the exercise is done.
Arnold Dumbbell Press
I hold 17.5 pound dumbbells in each hand (as opposed to two weights that total 17.5)
Image via Bodybuilding.com
SUPERSET- means to go from one exercise to the next without resting. Then, you rest after you complete the superset.
Superset Front Dumbbell Raise & Side Lateral Raise
I hold 10 pound dumbbells in each hand for these.
Image Via Lean It Up
Upright Rows
I use a 40 pound barbell instead of a band, as pictured below, but the movement is the same.
Image via Forever Asleep
Alternating Single Arm Dumbbell Press
I hold a 15 pound dumbbell in each hand for this exercise.
Image via Muscle and Performance
Reverse Fly
I do these on a machine like pictured below.
After my shoulder workout, I did 20 minutes of treadmill sprint intervals at 7.5.
Does this help? I hope so!

Cant power on with a non-original screen replacement!
Hi everyone!
I cant think of any other place to ask this, and if anyone has ever had this issue before please help.
So here it is. My client broke the screen of his 4s. I bought a non original screen replacement from ebay. When I installed it the device didnt want to boot up, i pluged it into the wall charger, my PC, no result - like its dead... So i decided to give it a try with some of my other screens, original (cracked but functional) and nonoriginal, not surprisingly it powered on... My guess was that the replacement was damaged, so i went to a local(!) store and bought a new screen, the guy at the shop showed me that it worked by connecting it to a 4s motherboard. When i came back and installed it, i was astonished by the fact that the new scree had exactly the same problem! Well alright..., its just a coincidence..., so i went back and explained the situation, barely convincing the guy at the store that it wasn't my fault. Finally, when i got the screen, i immediately installed it and what do think happened? Same story! Cant power on, no signs of live, nothing, just the processor heating...
Is the third screen! It cant be a coincidence! It just drives me insane! Idk what to do! I cant be that dumb to ruin 3 screens while successfully testing it with 4 other screens!
Please help me! It just doesnt make any sense...:((
Is this a good question?
funny im having this same problem... the logic board heats up so current is running through, however, not being picked up by the computer nor charging... the dock connector is brand new, as is all the parts... so idk...

VoLTE: An IHS Markit RootMetrics primer
This blog post originally appeared on rootmetrics.com.
If you haven't heard the term VoLTE bandied about, you probably will in short order. VoLTE is the next big advancement in mobile calling. Operators have been working for years to assure a smooth transition to VoLTE and the technology is already the default calling option for millions of consumers. Read on to learn more about how the technology works, what it promises, and what challenges must still be solved.
What is VoLTE?
Let's start with LTE, which stands for Long Term Evolution and is the new standard for data delivery. The carriers love touting their LTE coverage, and for good reason: LTE delivers faster and more reliable data service, making it easier to use your mobile device for surfing the web, sending emails, streaming music or video, and countless other data tasks.
Ok, but what does data service have to do with making a call? Good question. VoLTE adds voice calling to LTE networks and stands for Voice over LTE. To put it simply, with VoLTE, your call will be traveling on the carrier's LTE network rather than a traditional, circuit-switched call path. VoLTE represents the next phase of evolution for mobile calling and cell networks.
What's the big deal and why should I care?
VoLTE is much more than a catchy acronym. The technology promises to bring a host of benefits:
The days of settling for less-than-stellar audio during mobile calls could soon be gone. Just as HDTV reset expectations for a good viewing experience, VoLTE calls that utilize HD Voice could reset everyday expectations for a good call experience. Here's how:
- VoLTE can support the AMR-WB (Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband) codec. A codec is a means for compressing and decompressing large files (get it: codec =compressing/decompressing). The AMR-WB codec increases the audio samples used per second to deliver less background noise and crisper, more nuanced audio quality.
- One caveat: VoLTE can also be used independently of the AMR-WB codec. A VoLTE call is not always an HD Voice call, and vice-versa. That said, VoLTE will bring the possibility of HD Voice to millions of consumers.
Because calls will take place on the same network used for data, you can generally expect a quicker set-up time and faster call connection. The positive: no more empty space while you wait for your call to start. The negative: less time to rehearse what you want to say while waiting for your call to start.
Even better, after your call is established, VoLTE promises lower latency (the time delay between when a speaker utters a word and when the listener actually hears it). VoLTE should lessen that awkward lag between speaking and hearing that sometimes occurs on calls.
As with any new technology, there will undoubtedly be some hiccups during the transition period. Long-term, however, you can expect fewer call failures with VoLTE because there will no longer be a need to switch between data and call networks.
The benefits of VoLTE "sound" great! But how exactly does a VoLTE call work?
We've already established that a VoLTE call takes place on the carrier's data network. To understand how this works, it's helpful to first compare "circuit-switched" delivery and packet delivery.
If you're not on VoLTE, your call is made using circuit-switched delivery. A circuit-switched call needs a dedicated pathway (or circuit) between the caller and receiver. This point-to-point connection stays open for the entire duration of the call and no one else can use it.
- Legacy call (pre-VoLTE)
Mobile calls have traditionally depended on circuit-switched connections. For carriers, using circuit-switched delivery means that they have had to devote valuable spectrum to maintain a separate call network. Under this system, data delivery takes place on one pathway, while calls are placed on another, isolated pathway.
Unlike circuit-switched delivery, packet delivery breaks data into small blocks (or packets) that are delivered separately and then reassembled in the correct order after being received.
- VoLTE and packet delivery
Similar to VOIP applications like Skype and other Over-the-Top (OTT) services, VoLTE does away with circuit-switched dependencies and transmits calls via IP technology.
VoLTE is similar but superior to other OTT/VOIP applications
VoLTE calls, while similar to other OTT applications like Skype, offer distinct advantages that those services can't match. It all comes down to what's known as Quality of Service (QoS). Here's how it works:
QoS prioritizes certain streams of data (like VoLTE) for delivery using more stringent quality controls. Unlike other OTT data, VoLTE calls are assured special delivery parameters that maintain high call quality no matter what else is going or what other traffic the data network might be experiencing. As an analogy, think of QoS like an HOV lane on a busy highway: VoLTE call are routed onto a special delivery path (also known as a "dedicated bearer") and travel unimpeded compared to other data.
OTT applications don't receive this same QoS control. Instead, OTT calls are carried in the LTE network with all other data and are given "best effort" for delivery. As a result, when congestion in the data network occurs, VoLTE calls will likely continue to move smoothly but OTT calls might struggle.
Challenges remain
Without question, VoLTE is the future of mobile calling. There are, however, challenges to overcome during this transition period.
- Interoperability is complicated
From a consumer standpoint, we now expect to be able to make a call to anyone no matter what carrier they have. From a technical standpoint, this type of interoperability is much more more complicated. VoLTE calls currently work only within the same carrier network. AT&T and Verizon have pledged VoLTE interoperability but the ability to call another network over VoLTE is not yet ubiquitous.
As IHS Markit analyst Stephane Teral points out, there are two primary VoLTE roaming options: LBO (Ravel) or S8HR (S8 Home Routed). The GSMA, Teral notes, has approved S8HR and this decision could clear the way for early adopters to move forward. For more details, see the full IHS Markit report on VoLTE growth.
- Call drops could be an issue early on
VoLTE calls travel on a carrier's LTE network. Without any type of backup plan, a VoLTE call will fail if the carrier's LTE network becomes unavailable. Carriers are working hard to make sure that this doesn't happen. One potential solution is called SRVCC (Single Radio Voice Call Continuity). SRVCC transfers your call back to a circuit-switched network when LTE coverage drops, but this system is tricky and doesn't always work. Another solution? Guarantee 100% LTE coverage. As each carrier's LTE network footprint nears 100%, VoLTE call drops due to coverage issues should largely become a thing of the past. For now, though, simply because a carrier touts that it has VoLTE, don't expect perfect service. Offering VoLTE and consistently delivering on the promises it offers remain two different propositions.
Initial results from the broader IHS Markit report suggest that despite the potential difficulties, AT&T and T-Mobile are making the transition from circuit-switched to VoLTE with minimal interruption.
Looking forward
As VoLTE becomes the norm, carriers will be able to re-farm the spectrum they must currently keep locked open for circuit-switched calling. Fully transitioning to VoLTE will simplify network structure and let carriers find new uses for the spectrum they already have.
Building on VoLTE, carriers will be able to expand their QoS offerings to include Rich Communication Suite features such as enhanced file sharing, video calling, and instant messaging-all prioritized for guaranteed delivery to make real-time applications smooth and reliable.
Early results are promising
Initial IHS RootMetrics testing shows that VoLTE is delivering on its promise of better audio quality. Mean Opinion Score (MOS) remains the industry standard for measuring audio quality. MOS takes into consideration factors such as packet loss, jitter, and latency, all of which can impact voice quality. MOS is traditionally calculated on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 = worst and 5 = best).
Results from testing in the Seattle area during February 2015 showed the VoLTE networks for AT&T and T-Mobile delivering MOS results approaching 3.5. Consumers would likely find audio quality in that range superior to what they typcially experience on non-HD Voice, non-VoLTE networks. As a further point of reference, the IHS Markit report notes that MOS scores for non-HD Voice topped at 2.5 during a similar study in Chicago in 2014.

Mari, I know all about mon ami Mme. M. and absolutely nothing about Cretons. But that's all about to change, thanks to you.ReplyDelete
Btw, my eyes were instantly transfixed on the bas relief container! So pretty.
Mary..My cretons never looked so good.ReplyDelete
What a sweet sweet post.
I am over the top flattered.
Your little rabbit is simply resting..his stomach is full.
A nap..In Italy between 1-3..everyone did that.
He's Italian.
And your paté pot is "génial".
I hope this post gets archived for life.
I always want to come back and read it:)
i love this recipe, i am still picking away at ours from nye~ i like moniques version of an italian napping bunny, i could never see it any other way... you made pork pie look beautiful mary!ReplyDelete
I like how you garnished with a bay leaf. The container looks so pretty..how unusual with the rabbit on top!ReplyDelete
What a dear post and I love the napping bunny theory. He just got tired trying to beat the tortoise to the Creton :) It's a lovely container! I must try this recipe too.ReplyDelete
What a lovely recipe and sweet presentation. I'm enjoying every one of your posts, Mari.ReplyDelete
Visiting Monique at La Table De Nana is always a special treat.
Maybe that little rabbit is playing "possum" so the hunting dog passes him by :-) Beautiful presentation and tribute to Monique!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments!ReplyDelete
Oh, I like that thought MUCH better; the little rabbit is just napping. :) That is the way I'll think of it from now on.

Let me start off this thread by saying that I WILL NOT be giving away any details about Halo 4 in this article. If you want to see what actually happens in the game, I direct your attention to the link at the bottom of the post. Please try and keep all comments about the game restricted to spoiler tags if you wish to literally spoil something. Any content you read from members cannot be guaranteed to contain no Legendary ending/prologue spoilers.
Anyway, as you must have guessed by that, the Legendary ending for Halo 4 has been leaked by unknown sources today (roughly ten hours before this post), something that Microsoft was obviously trying to avoid. Despite their claims that many games in the future would not suffer this fate, the game is out there and ready for players to experience it.
In fact, several pirates have received emails from Xbox Live relaying the message that their Live account has been suspended due to suspicious activity and "purchase of a pre-released game." It's not known how many (let's call them, shortsighted) people tried to play the game online rather than just playing it offline, but Xbox Live is now aware of the problem and seems to be looking even more closely.
Along with the Legendary ending being revealed, there was a cinematic leaked showing the prologue of Halo 4. This is big news since all that has been circling the gaming realm has been rumors (and most of them have now been proven completely wrong). This doesn't have as many ramefications since it doesn't really ruin anything for players, but it's still worth mentioning.
What do you think about Halo 4 being leaked? Will you be watching the video to see what it looks like, or will you be abstaining in order to keep your mind "pure" until release?

Judging the Royals
How fans can read outfield positioning
If you are interested in the positioning of outfielders, take a look at where the players are standing.
There are two lines (the space between a corner outfielder and a foul line) and two gaps (the space between a corner outfielder and the centerfielder). An outfield defense can cover three out of four.
That means — a lot of the time — you'll see a big wedge of undefended territory down a line or in one of the gaps. Which area is left unprotected is decided by the pitcher on the mound and the hitter at the plate.
If you see a ball hit into that unprotected area, you probably just saw a pitcher miss location — the ball was not supposed to be hit there. And if you see an outfielder race over to that unprotected area and make a diving catch, you'll probably also see the pitcher wait and give that outfielder a high five: The pitcher missed his spot, but the outfielder just saved the pitcher's rear end and the pitcher knows it.
But what if you see the outfielders playing straight up?
If there's no discernible gap in the outfield — if the outfielders are evenly spaced — there's a good chance the pitcher on the mound doesn't really know where the ball is going. The defense can't shift much because nobody knows if the pitch will wind up on the inner half of the plate or a foot outside. It might also mean a hitter like Miguel Cabrera's at the plate; guys like him can hit the ball from line to line and the outfield has play straight up to cover as much territory as possible.

Durham County
Hawk trapped in net rescued by Durham Sheriff's Office
A hawk trapped in a water retention pond was rescued by the Durham County Sheriff's Office earlier this week.
The hawk was spotted by Durham County resident Laura Andrews who called the sheriff's Animal Services Division on April 9. Deputy J. Fitzherbert, a raptor aficionado, responded to the call, and while technically Animal Services isn't required to respond to wildlife calls, Animal Services deputies try to help whenever they can, said Tamara Gibbs, sheriff's office senior public information officer.
"He came out to evaluate the situation and explained how he planned to get in the water to free it," wrote Andrews in an email to the sheriff's office. "I really appreciated his help and that of his two other coworkers."
After the bird was freed, the deputy checked the hawk for injuries. In a video posted to the sheriff's office's various social media platforms, you can see the bird in Fitzherbert's hands before it flies away. From a distance you hear it "squawk" to which Fitzherbert relies "You're welcome."
