text: Chicago P.D.: TV Review 12:05 PM PST 1/8/2014 by Tim Goodman FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME NBC Chicago P.D. NBC TV Still - H 2014 Mega-proceduralist Dick Wolf expands his Chicago Fire franchise with a hard-boiled cop show. TWITTER The "Chicago Fire" spinoff from Dick Wolf centers around the Chicago Police Department and its somewhat-shady lead detective, played by Jason Beghe. Nobody loves a formula more than Dick Wolf, and no network loves a Dick Wolf formula (that actually draws viewers) more than NBC. So it should come as no surprise that Wolf and NBC, who made good with Chicago Fire, are back with Chicago P.D. The only slightly unexpected twist is that the detective at the center of Chicago P.D. is Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), who will be familiar to Chicago Fire viewers as an angry, corrupt cop who was sent to prison. Well, guess what? He got sprung somehow (perhaps this all will be explained later) and now runs the intelligence unit of the police department. He's still dirty -- or, if you prefer, both a good cop and bad cop because we also get to see him be effective and sympathetic -- and under his command, it sure looks like the intelligence unit will be cutting corners. TV REVIEW: Chicago Fire Fans of Shawn Ryan's legendary cop show The Shield will see hints of Vic Mackey in Hank Voight, although this series obviously won't go that dark (even though NBC has no problem showing not one but two severed heads next to their bodies, plus photos of the crime scenes later). While the odds are that Chicago P.D. will be as straight-up predictable as most network cop shows (numerous elements in the pilot could be seen coming like a neon truck rambling down a highway), this series should be applauded for putting a shady detective at the center of the show, since broadcast has a bad track record at creating shows that seem cable-ready rough-and-real. The problem with a show like Chicago P.D. is, if it truly does want to be cable-like, it has to have more going for it in the writing department and present less cookie-cutter, seen-them-before characters. That said, even though Michael Chiklis can't be duplicated -- nor can the Vic Mackey character be -- don't rule out Beghe, as he's a very magnetic presence here. Along with another familiar face in Jon Seda, who plays Det. Antonio Dawson, and Elias Koteas, as Det. Alvin Olinksy, there's enough hardened acting chops to make Chicago P.D. a watchable distraction in the Dick Wolf mode. Will it end up being something consistently good? It probably depends on your definition of good. There are a lot of mechanical elements to the rest of the show, where good-looking detectives mingle with good-looking street cops and the banter veers between tough, witty and tender as the strings are manipulated with familiar precision. TNT's Southland was the last great cop show, but that doesn't mean something that passes as comfort food -- much like Chicago Fire does -- can't be embraced for what it is. And, given the Wolf brand, you know exactly what Chicago P.D. is. Email: email@example.com Twitter: @BastardMachine FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Tim Goodman email@example.com BastardMachine

Of the roughly 4,500 cockroach species in the world, about 55 are found in the United States. None of the native ones are considered major pests. Instead, they generally avoid humans, preferring such habitats as sand, rotting wood and leaf litter. "For ecosystem functioning, they're really important because they get rid of all this garbage in the world," like decomposing plant and animal matter, said Jessica L. Ware, an assistant professor at Rutgers University-Newark who co-authored the recent paper. "They're not specialized to dwell in the kitchen and to scavenge for scraps."
Although these native cockroaches stay largely out of sight and out of mind, their exotic cousins are a different matter. American cockroaches, which, their name notwithstanding, originated in tropical Africa, are believed to have come to the United States during the early days of the slave trade. Later arrivals include the oriental cockroach, the German cockroach, the Turkestan cockroach, the Australian cockroach, the brown-banded cockroach and a few others, all of which take up residence in people's homes. Many of these names are equally as misleading as the American cockroach, illustrating more about the societal prejudices of the time than anything else. "German roaches are not called German roaches in Germany," Lou Sorkin, an entomologist at the American Museum of Natural History, pointed out. "They're called Polish roaches."
The Japanese cockroach, or Periplaneta japonica, is the latest to appear in America. Native to central and northern Japan, humans first accidentally spread them to similar latitudes in continental Asia. Then, in spring 2012, an exterminator working on the High Line, a popular park that winds along an abandoned elevated railway in Manhattan, noticed some unusual-looking cockroaches in rodent bait stations. "Exterminators, they know their roaches," Ware said. "He knew it wasn't one of the standard players." As a result, he sent some specimens to a scientist at the University of Florida, who in turn contacted the Smithsonian. Ware, who has published several cockroach papers, was subsequently brought in. Using DNA extracted from the middle legs of a male and a female, she and Ph.D. candidate Dominic Evangelista confirmed that they were indeed Japanese cockroaches—the first record of this species in the United States.
Ware and Evangelista speculate that these Japanese cockroaches hitched a ride to the High Line in the soil of ornamental plants that now line the park. Unlike most of their relatives, they produce a type of antifreeze that allows them to survive in cold temperatures, and they have even been found on ice. They therefore may be able to overwinter outdoors in New York, giving them a potential competitive advantage over other cockroaches. Ware said that although Japanese cockroaches thrive in urban environments and could perhaps spread rapidly, there is likely little cause for alarm. In fact, the increased competition could even cause the total number of cockroaches to drop. "The one that is the most abundant pest has changed over time," she explained, adding that each species gets its "15 minutes of fame."
This upcoming summer, Ware hopes to get a population estimate for Japanese cockroaches along the High Line. A self-proclaimed cockroach lover, she said she enjoys picking them up and handling them in the field. But even she draws the line at home. "I don't want to get giardia," she said in reference to one of the diseases, a stomach bug, that cockroaches are capable of transmitting. "And I don't want them crawling on my food."

The largest bowling ball allowed by USBC or FIQ has a circumference of 27 inches, equivalent to a diameter of 21.9 centimetres and a volume of 5447 cubic centimetres. Whilst the size of a bowling ball is fixed, its weight can vary, typically between six and sixteen pounds (2.7 to 7.3 kilograms).
With a fixed volume and a changing mass the density (mass per unit volume) of a bowling ball will change, and as a result some bowling balls float, and some sink.
The low weight balls (including the 12 lb ball at a density of 999.6 kg/m3) all float. Only the 14 lb and 16 lb balls will sink.

Gluten Free Diet - Tips To Help You Know Hidden Sources And What It Takes To Be Gluten Free
By Debbie Benson
There is no question that when someone receives their diagnosis of celiac disease or gluten intolerance and must now follow a gluten-free diet, there's usually a very strong and emotional reaction. There is usually anger, fear, confusion, and there is also worry and anxiety about how much their lives are going to change. They are going to need to learn about gluten, what it is, where it is, and how to avoid it. This is very doable.
People experience a wide range of gluten intolerance and how much is needed to trigger symptoms. For many, cutting out the foods that are not allowed on the gluten-free diet is enough. For others, the tiniest trace amounts can trigger symptoms, sometimes quite severe that can last for days or even weeks. For instance, just licking a postage stamp or an envelope where there is gluten in the glue could cause a reaction. For those people, vigilance, detective work and assertiveness are going to be needed to live symptom-free. Remember, no matter how severe the gluten sensitivity, it is absolutely possible to live a normal active life.
Wheat is the first and the most common food with gluten that must be eliminated. However, there is a myriad of listed food ingredients that contain gluten, including:
And if that weren't enough, many non-listed ingredients may contain gluten:
Also, manufacturing techniques, like using wheat flour to keep foods from sticking to conveyor belts, or baking gluten-free in an environment that contains airborne wheat flour can also contaminate otherwise gluten-free foods.
What to do?
Given all this, how can the extremely sensitive person avoid gluten entirely? Here are some helpful tips:
Unless a restaurant is billed as gluten-free, assume that they will be unable to serve completely gluten-free foods. However, if you're dining with a group, call ahead, explain the situation, and ask if you can bring your own food. Just about any restaurant would rather lose a single meal than a table full of paying customers. Likewise, if invited to eat with friends or family, don't be shy about bringing your own food. Once you make the seriousness of your condition known, few people will be anything less than fully accommodating.
Many people before you have managed to live complete and rewarding lives while living gluten-free. You can too. Once you've learned what's required, gained some experience, and educated yourself of available resources, you'll be able to live a symptom-free life and your gluten-free diet won't feel so terribly restrictive after all.

General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.)
For over 50 years, General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) has devoted his life to public service. Having held senior military and diplomatic positions across four presidential administrations, Powell's deep commitment to democratic values and freedom has been felt throughout the world. From 1987-1989 Powell served as President Ronald Reagan's National Security Advisor. He served from 1989-1993 as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for both President George H.W. Bush and for President Bill Clinton, and was not only the youngest officer and first ROTC graduate to ever serve in the position but was also the first African American to do so. During his time as Chairman, he oversaw 28 crises to include the Panama intervention of 1989 and Operation Desert Storm in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. Under President George W. Bush, Powell was appointed the 65th Secretary of State, leading the State Department in major efforts to address and solve regional and civic conflicts in the Middle East, Sudan, Congo and Liberia, in the Balkans, Haiti, Northern Ireland, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Powell is the Chair of the Board of Visitors of the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at his alma mater, the City College of New York (CCNY). The Powell School was inaugurated May 2013 and stands alongside CCNY's other premier named schools. He is the founder and chairman emeritus of the America's Promise Alliance, dedicated to forging a strong and effective partnership alliance committed to seeing that children experience the fundamental resources they need to succeed. Currently, Powell is a Strategic Advisor at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the renowned Silicon Valley venture capital firm, and serves on the Board of Directors of Bloom Energy, an alternative energy company. In March of 2014, he joined the Board of Directors of Salesforce.com, the world's largest provider of Cloud-based customer relationship management software. He is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of Leeds Equity Partners, a private equity firm focused on investments in the education, training, information and business services industries. He is also Chairman of the Eisenhower Fellowships, a cross-cultural program for emerging international leaders. His autobiography, My American Journey, was a best seller and has been published in more than a dozen different languages. Powell's second book, It Worked for Me, reveals the lessons that shaped his life and career and was an instant best seller when it was published in May 2012.

The discipline, which involves long-distance treks of 100 miles, is the Fédération Equestre Internationale's fastest-growing sport. However, the increase in popularity has been accompanied by a disproportionate incidence of doping in the Middle East. Endurance has also provided embarrassment for the sheikh's junior wife, HRH Princess Haya of Jordan. She was elected president of the FEI in 2006 on a 'clean sport' mandate, and hired former Metropoliran Police Commissioner Lord Stevens to beef up integrity.
The FEI administers eight disciplines, including the Olympic sports of show jumping, eventing, and dressage, yet endurance accounts for eight of 11 doping cases currently under investigation, seven of which involve Arabic riders, three from the United Arab Emirates. Further, seven UAE riders were disciplined in medication control cases in 2012, six in 2011.
One repeat offender was Mubarak Khalifa Al Shafya, stripped of his FEI Open endurance title in 2008 while manager and trainer at Sheikh Mohammed's Al Asaafa stable. Mubarak then trained thoroughbred racehorses for the sheikh in Newmarket and Dubai. In 2011, the FEI were concerned that five endurance horses managed by Mubarak had tested positive in the previous two years.
In most equestrian sports, and in endurance in Britain, horses are trained by their regular competition riders. But in the Middle East they are professionally trained, acquainted with their riders only at the competition. Some riders have argued they therefore could not have known their horses were doped, prompting the FEI to extend sanctions to "support personnel" from 2010.
Middle Eastern doping concerns were debated at a FEI open forum in April 2012, where the UAE delegate, Dr Hallvard Sommerseth, said that the apparently above-average stats resulted from the UAE's extensive national sampling programme, results of which were routinely volunteered to the FEI.

A child's first pair of shoes is usually an event of mixed feelings - emotional joy from the parent or guardian and a combination of excitement and confusion for the child! At Hop, Skip and Jump, we are with you every step of the way, from helping you choose the very best quality, style and fit of shoe for your child's delicate developing feet to offering clear, competent advice on every aspect of footcare for children, ensuring a solid foundation for a life of healthy feet.
When buying footwear for young children, especially babies, it is absolutely essential that sizing is precisely correct. The nerve endings in the feet of young children are not yet fully-developed and so any discomfort or pain may not be noticed by the child even though the shoe is damaging the feet. For customers visiting our store, we employ several trained fitters who will expertly measure your child's unique foot size and shape while online customers can download our comprehensive sizing chart absolutely free.
Three of our personal favourites (because they are just so cute and on trend right now!) are detailed below but please enjoy browsing the entire wonderful collection
Startrite Pre-Walkers - Fetch
This design is all about fun, the talented artistic designer has truly allowed their inner child to run free in the creation of Fetch Startrite pre-walking baby shoes. An enticingly and vibrantly red-and-yellow ball on the front of the shoe is the first thing noticed by the eye, which is then cleverly and artfully drawn back along an expertly-stitched trail depicting where the ball has come from. It is here we notice the fantastic dog motif, which has a real sense of motion thanks to the talents of the designing artist. As well as its impressive aesthetic features, Fetch Pre-Walkers have the usual impeccable comfort and safety designs such as a Velcro fastening, comforting lining and rubber toe that helps to protect a baby's developing feet during the transition from crawling to walking.
Startrite Pre-Walker - Mayflower
The first thing to strike you about these gorgeous pre-walkers from market-leading Startrite has got to be the colour - a dark, regal and luxurious purple. Formed from tough-yet-tactile nubuck, these are the perfect first pair of shoes for a baby to take their first tentative steps in. Softly and comfortably lined and given added protection with a durable rubber toe, Mayflower Startrite pre-walker baby shoes feature a reliable buckle fastening and are completed with childlike butterfly and flower details on the front of the shoe.
Bobux T-Bar Baby Shoes - Magenta Lucky Clover
Created in New Zealand in 1991 through sheer pester power, Bobux are now a global success! The company was founded by married couple Chris and Colleen Bennett, whose 9-month-old daughter Chloe refused to wear shoes whatsoever. Eventually discovering that their daughter's violent dislike for footwear was due to the saturation of the market of footwear for babies that has hard, inflexible soles,
The Bennetts began a project to design and manufacture a pair of children's shoes that would ensure comfort, along with the natural development of feet. After much work and optimisation, the patented Bobux Soft Sole was invented and launched upon a happily-receptive audience of parents and guardians.
The company has developed a reputation for exclusive luxury thanks to its top-end designs, ethically-sourced materials and impeccable production quality. Their latest offering, the Bobux Magenta Lucky Clover T-Bar shoe, has the soft flexibility that is so signature to the Bobux range and, Velcro-fastened, is beautifully lined with quality leather.
Check out our range of pre-walkers and baby shoes online and get your child off to a good start to ensure healthy, trouble-free feet when they are older, possibly avoiding considerable pain and discomfort to the child along with astronomical chiropodists' fees.

Do you know which rawhide is poisoning your dog? But first, lets learn more about rawhide.
What is Rawhide?
The rawhide that we give to our dogs to chew is made from dried animal skin. The Rawhide chew is a hard dried animal skin that slowly softens with your dog drool as he chews. Most dogs love a rawhide because your dogs are instinctively attracted to animal products.Rawhide is high in protein, low in fat, and has fewer calories per ounce than a typical dog biscuit. That means you can satisfy your pet with a healthy treat that won't add to its weight.
Ok, let's work this back…. Leather is a by-product of the beef industry and rawhide is a by-product of the leather industry. So perhaps it's a by-by-product.
Why give your dog rawhide?
All dogs need to chew. It's a natural instinct. Chewing can provide your dog stimulation and help relieve anxiety. Especially with puppies, treats like rawhide bones can be a great substitute for your leather shoes and your furniture.
Chewing on rawhide is good for your dogs teeth as plaque gets scraped away, controlling tartar buildup, and maintaining gum health. Chewing reduces bad breath, keeps teeth whiter, and prevents gum disease which, if left untreated, can seriously affect the health of your dog.
It relaxes your pet. For older, less active dogs, rawhide bones and chews are among the best treats you can provide. It gives them a non-destructive outlet to release pent-up energy by letting them do what they love to do, chew!
Where does rawhide come from?
Tanning is the process where leather is treated to preserve it so that the leather will not decompose and can be made into luxury products. A natural hide is too thick to be used for most leather product so a tannery will split the hide into various thicknesses. The inside split, the split closest to the flesh of the animal is where the rawhide comes from. Besides dog chews, rawhide may be used for lower quality leathers, suede or drumskins.
How is rawhide made?
Normally, cattle hides are dehydrated and preserved, usually in salt and shipped from the slaughterhouses to the tannery for processing.
An animal hide is cleaned on the inside to remove any remaining membranes and flesh with scrapers, knives or nowadays often mechanically. The upper side will then have the hair removed usually by using an Ash-Lye solution or a Lime solution. The hide will usually soak for approximately 3 days in the solution then scraped clean. This process may be repeated until completely clean.
This process is highly caustic therefor the hide needs to be washed, often in bleach to remove all the caustic and sanitise the hide.
To remove all traces of the lime solution and to sanitize the rawhide, commercial makers then rinse the hides in a bleach solution. The commercially useful hides then continue through the tanning process while the rawhide for doggy chews does not.
Good quality, US rawhide manufacturers, usually transport these hides in refrigerated trucks to the wharehouse. The rawhide chew shape is created while the hide is still wet. The chews are then dried. Some are sent for "smoking" to further enhance the flavour.
What rawhides chews not to buy?
In the USA, there are more and more quality doggy rawhide manufacturers that care about the health or our pets and make the rawhides with as few harsh chemicals as possible.
In the US, however, the rawhide is classified as a "pet toy" and not a consumable food item, therefore some manufacturers, many from overseas are able to produce and import rawhide that is processed with harsh leather producing chemicals and import these into the US market.
Many of these commercial mass produced rawhide products come from Mexico, South America and China. It is difficult for us to know the quality, cleanliness and processing standards of these rawhide manufacturers. The rawhide chews poisoning your dog is most likely from imported chews that are not made with fresh hides and is often made as cheaply and quickly as possible.
What is a quality rawhide?
With this knowledge and the desire for us caring dog owners to only give our dogs healthy, quality, products only buy rawhide that is made in the USA by quality caring rawhide manufacturers.
A quality rawhide should be cleaned, washed, and refrigerated during transportation to the doggy rawhide manufacturer. It should not need harsh chemical processing and preservatives.
How often should I give rawhide to my dog?
This may depend on the dog. Some dogs don't chew much or aren't aggressive chewers. My terrier pup was a heavy chewer so I gave him a rawhide chew every day. This saved my furniture, gave him something to cut his teeth on kept him occupied for ages.
A good rule of thumb is to let your pet chew a rawhide toy an hour a day. Give your dog or puppy other chewing toys as well. Hard rubber toys are great for an aggressive chewer.
Chewing is a completely normal activity and is needed to help them cut their new teeth and develop strong jaws. Rather than punish puppies for chewing the wrong things, give your dog a rawhide treat to keep him occupied.
Make sure you supervise your puppy while he chews his rawhide. Don't give him too much so that it upsets his puppy stomach.
Is rawhide safe for my dog?
Rawhide is one of the most natural things a dog can chew on. Dogs have been chewing it for thousands of years.
But not all rawhide today is the same. Rawhide chews made in the U.S.A. with high quality U.S.A. beef hide are cleaner, thicker and more durable. That means your dog can spend more time "wetting it down" and tearing off smaller pieces than with other rawhide treats.
According to Webmd These are the most common rawhide risks:
Contamination - Rawhide chews, particularly those made overseas, can contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals. It is possible for Salmonella or E. coli contamination.
Digestive irritation - Some dogs or puppies can be sensitive to rawhide or other substances used in their manufacture. This can cause problems, including diarrhea. Keep an eye on your dog when you first introduce him to rawhide.
Choking or blockages - Puppies and dogs can choke on rawhide bones or they can cause a blockage. This may occur if your dog swallows large pieces of rawhide.
If you see any of the following signs, contact your veterinarian:
Repeated swallowing
Diarrhea, with or without blood
Lack of energy
Signs of pain
Refusal to eat or weight loss
Now that you know how rawhide chews are poisoning your dog, here are some recommendation to give your dog the healthiest rawhide that you can.

Recent reports have claimed Rangers are set to make a final bid for Hearts' winger Jamie Walker, with the Gorgie side confirming today that Director of Football Craig Levein will continue as manager.
Whether Levein's 'new' position will make any difference to their desire to retain the 24 year old winger is yet to be seen, but it had been posited some weeks ago that Rangers would be likely to secure their long-term target but not until the tail end of the month.
With Josh Windass and Niko Kranjcar failing to settle at left wing or being beset with injury, fitness issues and inconsistency, there is a significant vacancy for a convincing left winger to nail that spot down and provide the counter balance for Daniel Candeias on the opposite side, and boyhood Bear Walker could well be the man.
Reports are that Rangers will make one final bid over the coming days, in the region of over £700K, and Hearts will make their final decision on the sale.
Whether Levein's trip from the stands to the dugout will make a difference remains to be seen.

Six years ago, a young man fell into a rock crusher while working at a quarry in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Last month, his mother settled a lawsuit in his death for $6.5 million.
Lawyers for the mother claimed the employer's negligence and a fault in the design of the crusher led to the wrongful death of the 22-year-old. It was a complex case and justice didn't come easily.
First, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) had to investigate the worksite. The rock crusher had jammed, and the young man had climbed out of a protective area to clear it just before the accident. A fellow employee reportedly testified that workers had to climb over the mouth of the crusher and that was how the young man fell in.
The DOL determined that the quarry lacked procedures to ensure that workers could safely access the area. After examining quarry records, the DOL also found that the company hadn't given the young man, who was new to the job, the training that regulations require.
To settle the suit, the quarry agreed to pay $4 million and the manufacturer of the crusher agreed to pay $2.5 million.
This tragic case shows that even if it seems clear that a company or a product played a role in a loved one's death, attaining a favorable settlement can take years. Determining liability and building a case are complicated tasks, and families should contact an experienced personal injury attorney.
The lawyers at McMonagle Perri are skilled negotiators and represent clients throughout the Philadelphia region in these types of cases. The firm does not charge for a consultation.

Is it simpler to give up after repeat failure? Facing failure again and again In the gym, I fail a lift I could do three weeks earlier. There is no obvious reason for my weakness. I talk to my coach, wondering what is happening. Why my abs engage and then let go. My core is stronger than it has been since my first pregnancy, but that strength is inconsistent. I want to make progress. I want to be able to tally my improvements in pounds lifted. Instead I am red-faced,

Oprah has hers and I have mine… Favorite Things. 😉
I'm an affiliate for the resources listed below. I currently use or have used all of them and love(d) them!
Sell and Deliver Your eBooks and Downloads: DPD Digital Product Delivery
In 2018 I made the switch from Ontraport to DPD. I have ZERO regrets. I simplified my offerings and systems a LOT and DPD is exactly what I need to sell the few digital products that I have. Services too when I'm not using PayPal to send invoices. Setting up products is super simple… you know I love that! And the checkout process is easy and intuitive. I use it with PayPal and Stripe to take payments. Easy peasy! You can try it now with a 30 day trial. That's what I did when I first signed up… before the trial was up, I knew I loved it and that it was a keeper! 🙂
Password Manager/Vault: LastPass
All I have to say is LastPass SAVES my life… EVERYday. (I'm being kinda dramatic but it's true.) 😉 LastPass is worth every penny I pay for it and then some.
Landing Pages, Sales Pages, Email Signup Pages: Thrive Architect
Use Thrive Architect to create your marketing funnels. It's one of my favorite, favorite, favorite plugins. Create flawless, high-converting and extremely polished looking pages that take your visitors all the way from initial signup to purchase, product download and more.
WordPress Backup Service: BlogVault
If I could shout it from the mountaintops 24 hours a day 7 days a week I would… "Backup your website! Backup your website! Backup your website! Regularly. Don't just rely on hosting company backups." Wishing you had it when you need it is already too late. Since I first started using BlogVault some years ago, they've added many new features that have made it even better. And you can get a free trial to test it out. I'm sure you'll love it. This is one of my most favorite of all the tools.
Siteground Website Hosting
I have several sites, including this one, that I don't need (or prefer) managed WordPress hosting on so I decided to move them to Siteground. On top of the standard features like free domain names, 24/7 technical support, 99.9% uptime, etc., they add their own custom-made solutions to make your website faster, safer, and better supported than anywhere else.
Membership Website: MemberMouse
I've used a few different membership site plugins before, including Digital Access Pass, WP Member and OptimizePress. MemberMouse is by far the simplest I've had the pleasure of using. Set up is fast, features are rich and the price is not expensive for starters. If you've been stuck launching your membership program because you don't know which tech tools to use, this is a great plugin. As an "own your assets" advocate, I prefer using a WordPress plugin for a membership vs. third-party services. One thing to note is that a standard membership site is different than a course builder or learning management system (LMS) that usually includes a more "modules and lessons" type layout, quizzes, certifications and the like.
Shopify Funnels & Landing Pages: Zipify Pages
I've used different tools to make landing and sales pages including Ontraport and Thrive Architect (as mentioned above). I even use just a custom page template in my WordPress theme for some things too (sometimes drag-n-drop builders just don't give me the level of customization that I want). I started out using Ontraport to try to build out an eCommerce funnel with my Shopify store. It was not ideal and kinda tedious. Then I found Zipify Pages and absolutely loved it (I'm not really a fan of ClickFunnels)! The app integrates directly with your Shopify store. They have pre-made templates that are great out-the-box, as well as the ability to make custom pages using their "blocks". Definitely worth the investment.
eCommerce Store: Shopify
I'm kind of a WordPress snob :)… BUT.. I actually LOVE Shopify for eComm sites (because WooCommerce just makes me tired :/).

text: An American citizen fighting with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) was reportedly captured by Kurdish Peshmerga forces in northern Iraq on Monday, according to multiple reports. The Kurdish news agency Rudaw, citing an unnamed Peshmerga commander, said the man mistook Kurdish territory for the Turkish border. He was apparently trying to return to Turkey. Oh look Kurdish rebels have found Obama's containment!! The man was identified as Muhammad Jamal Amin. Identification cards shown on Kurdish TV show he was from Virginia. He also stated that he was trying to escape back to Turkey though Mosul Iraq. Well no wonder the PKK attacked Turkey the other day. Turkey is turning into the gateway arch of ISIS. Erdogan is stating that he will fight the PKK terrorist over and over again, meanwhile letting ISIS run rampant though the EU middle eastern nation state. Turkey is beginning to look like infinity for ISIS, as they come though and use Turkey to also escape the fighting in Syria and Iraq. Turkey is the main entrance and main resting place for ISIS barbarians. Obama is currently busy looking to expel the 4th amendment, so the occurrence of him talking about this American ISIS fighter will be contained and never mentioned.

The Holy Wonderworkers and Unmercenary Physicians Cosmas and Damian of Asia Minor
The Holy Wonderworkers and Unmercenary Physicians Cosmas and Damian were born somewhere in Asia Minor by their pagan father and Christian mother. When their father died, while they were still quite small children, their mother St. Theodata raised them in Christian piety. Trained and skilled as physicians, they received from the Holy Spirit the gift of healing people's illnesses of body and soul by the power of prayer. With fervent love for both God and neighbor, they never took payment for their services, so that is why they were called the Unmercenary Physicians. They strictly observed the command of our Lord Jesus Christ, "Freely have you received, freely give." (Mt. 10:8).
Once, the saints were summoned to a grievously ill woman named Palladia, whom all the doctors had refused to treat because of her seemingly hopeless condition. Through faith and through the fervent prayer of the holy brothers, the Lord healed the deadly disease and Palladia got up from her bed perfectly healthy and giving praise to God. In gratitude for being healed and wishing to give them a small gift, Palladia went quietly to Damian. She presented him with three eggs and said, "Take this small gift in the Name of the Holy Life-Creating Trinity, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Hearing the Name of the Holy Trinity, the unmercenary one did not dare to refuse.
When St Cosmas learned what had happened, became very sad, for he thought that his brother had broken their strict vow.The venerable relics of the holy brothers were buried together at Thereman (Mesopotamia). Many miracles were worked after the death of the Holy Unmercenaries.
Тroparion, tone 8. Holy unmercenaries and wonderworkers, Cosmas and Damian, heal our infirmities.
Freely you have received; freely you give to us.
Kontakion, tone 2. Having received the grace of healing,
you grant healing to those in need.
Glorious wonder workers and healers, Cosmas and Damian,
visit us and put down the insolence of our enemies,
and bring healing to the world through your miracles.

MANILA, Philippines - Love songs will soar to new heights as great singing voices band together to bring Seasons of Love, a most romantic concert, to the Newport Performing Arts Theater of Resorts World Manila on Feb. 13.
The Valentine's Day eve offering from Viva Concerts stars Basil Valdez, Rachelle Ann Go and The CompanY. They are performing together for the first time in what promises to be a truly exciting show.
Basil first made his mark as vocalist with the famous Circus Band in the '70s. His solo career resulted in a long list of hits: Ngayon At Kailanman, Let The Pain Remain, Gaano Kadalas Ang Minsan, Say That You Love Me, Kastilyong Buhangin, Hindi Kita Malilimutan, Lift Up Your Hands, Ngayon, Nais Ko, You and many others.

THIS OPINION HAS NO PRECEDENTIAL VALUE. IT SHOULD NOT BE CITED OR RELIED ON AS PRECEDENT IN ANY PROCEEDING EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BY RULE 239(d)(2), SCACR.
In The Court of Appeals
Khalid A. Muhammad, Respondent,
Emerald M. Muhammad, Appellant.
Appeal From Orangeburg County
William J. Wylie, Jr., Family Court Judge
Unpublished Opinion No. 2007-UP-001
Submitted November 1, 2006 – Filed January 9, 2007
Clarissa Warren Joyner, of Orangeburg, for Appellant.
Janne Berry Osborne, of Orangeburg, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM: Emerald Muhammad (Mother) appeals the family court's order awarding custody of her daughter, Fahrah (Child), to Khalid Muhammad (Father). We remand.
Father and Mother married on December 28, 2000. Prior to their marriage, on July 29, 2000, Father and Mother had a child. The Muhammads resided together in Orangeburg, South Carolina until sometime between September and December 31, 2002, when Mother moved with Child to New York. The parties dispute when the move occurred, and Father claims he did not know his wife and child were leaving prior to December 31, 2002.
Mother and Child lived in New York with Mother's parents. Child suffers from developmental issues resulting in underdeveloped communication skills. Mother enrolled Child in a school with programs designed to assist children with special needs. Child flourished in New York.
Both Father and Mother filed custody actions. Father filed in South Carolina on April 17, 2003 and served Mother on December 17, 2003. Mother filed in New York on October 14, 2003. Father was never personally served, but was apparently served by mail in January of 2004. On March 4, 2004, the New York family court issued an order awarding custody to Mother. The New York order indicates there was proper service on Father.
On November 19, 2004, the South Carolina family court issued a final order awarding custody to Father and directing law enforcement to assist in obtaining physical custody of Child. Mother timely filed a motion for reconsideration in the South Carolina family court. In that motion and its attachments, Mother argued the family court lacked jurisdiction to decide the case because New York was Child's home state, the New York family court issued the initial decree of custody in this matter, and substantial evidence of Child's present and future care exists in New York. Mother averred the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA) mandates the South Carolina court make an inquiry to the New York family court concerning the simultaneous proceedings in order to avoid relitigation.
Evidence in the record indicates that the parties knew cases had been filed in both New York and South Carolina. Neither the New York family court nor the South Carolina family court was afforded full candor during its proceedings. In fact, it appears the New York family court did not have notice of the South Carolina case prior to issuing its order. The South Carolina family court heard of the New York order during the motion to reconsider filed by Mother.
In an order dated August 18, 2005, the South Carolina family court denied Mother's motion for reconsideration concluding "that South Carolina was the child's home state when this action was commenced . . . ." Child now resides with Father in South Carolina. This appeal follows.
In appeals from the family court, the appellate court has authority to find facts in accordance with its own view of the preponderance of the evidence. This does not require the appellate court, however, to disregard the findings of the family court, which saw and heard the witnesses. Badeaux v. Davis, 337 S.C 195, 202, 522 S.E.2d 835, 838 (Ct. App. 1999).
In all child custody controversies, the controlling considerations are the children's welfare and best interests. Cook v. Cobb, 271 S.C. 136, 140, 245 S.E.2d 612, 614 (1978). In reaching a determination as to custody, the family court should consider how the custody decision will impact all areas of the child's life, including physical, psychological, spiritual, educational, familial, emotional, and recreational aspects. Pountain v. Pountain, 332 S.C. 130, 136, 503 S.E.2d 757, 760 (Ct. App. 1998). Additionally, the court must assess each party's character, fitness, and attitude as they affect the child. Id. at 136, 503 S.E.2d at 760. Indeed, "the totality of circumstances peculiar to each case constitutes the only scale upon which the ultimate decision can be weighed." Davenport v. Davenport, 265 S.C. 524, 527, 220 S.E.2d 228, 230 (1975).
Custody decisions are matters left largely to the discretion of the trial court. Stroman v. Williams, 291 S.C. 376, 378, 353 S.E.2d 704, 705 (Ct. App. 1987). An abuse of discretion occurs either when the court is controlled by some error of law or where the order, based upon findings of fact, lacks evidentiary support. McKnight v. McKnight, 283 S.C. 540, 543, 324 S.E.2d 91, 93 (Ct. App. 1984).
Mother claims the South Carolina family court did not comply with the UCCJA because it failed to contact the New York family court concerning a simultaneous custody action. We agree.
The UCCJA provides, in pertinent part that:
(a) A court of this State which is competent to decide child custody matters has jurisdiction to make a child custody determination by initial or modification decree if:
(1) this State (i) is the home state of the child at the time of commencement of the proceeding, or (ii) had been the child's home state within six months before commencement of the proceeding and the child is absent from this State because of his removal or retention by a person claiming his custody or for other reasons, and a parent or person acting as parent continues to live in this State; or
(2) it is in the best interest of the child that a court of this State assume jurisdiction because (i) the child and his parents, or the child and at least one contestant, have a significant connection with this State and (ii) there is available in this State substantial evidence concerning the child's present or future care, protection, training and personal relationships; or
. . . .
(4) (i) it appears that no other state would have jurisdiction under prerequisites substantially in accordance with paragraphs (1), (2) or (3) of subsection (a), or another state has declined to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that this State is the more appropriate forum to determine the custody of the child and (ii) it is in the best interest of the child that this court assume jurisdiction.
(b) Except under paragraphs (3) and (4) of subsection (a), physical presence in this State of the child, or of the child and one of the contestants, is not alone sufficient to confer jurisdiction on a court of this State to make a child custody determination.
(c) Physical presence of the child, while desirable, is not a prerequisite for jurisdiction to determine his custody.
S.C. Code Ann. § 20-7-788 (1976).
Further, the South Carolina Code instructs family court judges on the proper actions when there is a simultaneous proceeding in another state, namely:
(a) A court of this State shall not exercise its jurisdiction under this subarticle if at the time of filing the petition a proceeding concerning the custody of the child was pending in a court of another state exercising jurisdiction substantially in conformity with this subarticle, unless the proceeding is stayed by the court of the other state because this State is a more appropriate forum or for other reasons.
(b) Before hearing the petition in a custody proceeding the court shall examine the pleadings and other information supplied by the parties under § 20-7-800 and shall consult the child custody registry established under § 20-7-814 concerning the pendency of proceedings with respect to the child in other states. If the court has reason to believe that proceedings may be pending in another state it shall direct an inquiry to the state court administrator or other appropriate official of the other state.
(c) If the court is informed during the course of the proceeding that a proceeding concerning the custody of the child was pending in another state before the court assumed jurisdiction it shall stay the proceeding and communicate with the court in which the other proceeding is pending to the end that the issue may be litigated in the more appropriate forum and that information be exchanged in accordance with §§ 20-7-820 through 20-7-826. If a court of this State has made a custody decree before being informed of a pending proceeding in a court of another state it shall immediately inform that court of the fact. If the court is informed that a proceeding was commenced in another state after it assumed jurisdiction it shall likewise inform the other court to the end that the issues may be litigated in the more appropriate forum.
S.C. Code Ann. § 20-7-794 (1976).
We find the South Carolina family court erred in that it did not contact the New York family court when confronted with evidence that there may be a simultaneous proceeding in that state.
Keeping in mind the mandates of the UCCJA, we hereby remand to the family court. Upon remand, the family court shall, within forty-five days, make an inquiry to the New York family court to determine the most appropriate forum in accordance with Section 20-7-794 of the South Carolina Code of Laws (1976), and issue an order setting forth with specificity all findings of fact and factors considered in determining the appropriate forum. This Court does not address Mother's remaining issues without prejudice so that they may be raised in any subsequent appeal, if necessary. Accordingly, the family court's order is
HEARN, C.J., KITTREDGE, and WILLIAMS, JJ., concur.
[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.

Map of the Gulf Coast from Florida to Mexico
Joan Vinckeboons (1617–70) was a Dutch cartographer and engraver born into a family of artists of Flemish origin. He was employed by the Dutch West India Company and for more than 30 years produced maps for use by Dutch mercantile and military shipping. He was a business partner of Joan Blaeu, one of the most important map and atlas publishers of the day. Vinckeboons drew a series of 200 manuscript maps that were used in the production of atlases, including Blaeu's Atlas Maior. This pen-and-ink and watercolor map from around 1639 depicts the coast of the Gulf of Mexico from western Florida to the area around present-day Tampico, Mexico. Included are the coastline, coastal features, rivers, streams, other bodies of water, and numerous rhumb lines. A body of water, "Mar Pequeno," might possibly designate Mobile Bay or Lake Pontchartrain. Geographic names appear in Spanish. The map was once part of a manuscript atlas belonging to the Dutch firm of Gerard Hulst van Keulen, which published sea atlases and navigational handbooks for over two centuries. With the demise of the firm, the atlas was acquired and broken up by the Amsterdam book dealer Frederik Muller, who in 1887 sold 13 maps from the atlas attributed to Vinckeboons to the collector and bibliographer Henry Harrisse. This map is part of the Henry Harrisse Collection in the Library of Congress.
