An early morning view of the coastal artillery ruins known as Mote's Bulwark (alt. Moat's Bulwark) situated at the bottom of the cliffs directly below the moat of Dover Castle's Western Outer Curtain Wall.
Mote's Bulwark is one of the many "little castles" built by King Henry VIII, and one of three located in Dover (the other two being Archcliffe Fort and the Black Bulwark; I have yet to find out who built the Tudor Bulwark near the Canons Gate (alt. Canons Gateway) entrance to Dover Castle).
The outer wall of the semi-circular lower level terreplein of Mote's Bulwark can be seen to the right of the arrow in the roadsign (a terreplein is platform or surface on which heavy guns are mounted).
Above and behind the outer wall in the centre of the photo is a red-bricked zig-zag, or switch-back staircase connecting the lower level to the upper level.
On the left-hand side of the upper level is the ivy-covered West Gateway wall and the West Gatehouse tower: see the Ruins of Mote's Bulwark Gatehouse photo. On the right-hand side of the upper level is the East Buttress. The gatehouse is sometimes called the guardroom.
The lower level wall originally had crenellations (the "up and down" bits shown, for example, in this photo of the hidden Court's Folly, Dover's "Lost Castle"). A road once ran down the side of the cliff from the upper level West Gateway to sea-level.
The Tudor Mote's Bulwark has been extensively modified over the years. The Guildford Shaft spiral staircase inside the cliffs, for example, was constructed in the 19th Century (C19) to connect the Mote's Bulwark and nearby Guildford Battery to the castle above.
The photo was taken at 7.54 am on Thursday, 24th of March, 2011, from the junction of Marine Parade with the foreground A20 Townwall Street dual carraigeway near East Cliff.
An entry in the "Calendar of State Papers" (1) for June 1660 (during the reign of King Charles II) states:
Fifty-eight: Increased Collins, His Majesty's servant. For restoration to the Keepership of Mote's Bulwark, near Dover, to which he was appointed in January 1629, and held it till 1642, when he was dismissed as not trustworthy, imprisoned, sequestered, and, in 1645, tried for his life.
It would be so interesting to find out the outcome of the trial (there being a 15 year gap between the trial and reinstatement) but I've had no luck so far!
However, a book published in 1880 does give some information about his family tree (2):
Increased Collins, "Captain of Motes and Bulwark, in Dover", was the second son of Thomas Collins of Brightling (East Sussex). He married Frances, the "only daughter of Matthew Parker, son of Sir John Parker, son of Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury". Increased and Frances had three children: Thomas, Mary, and Francis.
"Increase" or "Increased" was a Puritan forename (3) alluding to Psalm 115: 14 (4):
The Lord shall increase you more and more: you and your children.
English Heritage Pastscape entry for Moat's Bulwark (5)
(TR 32534152) Ruin (NAT)
TR 326415 Mote's Bulwark
Mote's or Moat's Bulwark was one of the forts built during the reign of Henry VIII. It is situated at the foot of the cliff below Dover Castle. A semi-circular battery built of squared rubble with a revetted parapet. On a terrace above are the ruins of a guardroom, probably 17th century.
Additional reference.
In 1539-40 King Henry VIII built three artillery fortifications at Dover to protect the newly constructed harbour. One of these, Moats's Bulwark, was situated at the foot of the cliff beneath Dover Castle, and provided additional protection to its southern flank. A 16th century plan depicts it as a timber revetted platform approached by tunnels in the cliff, although it was remodelled as a large semi-circular battery in around 1750, and in 1856 linked with the castle by a spiral stairway tunnelled into the cliff (the Guildford Shaft). Scheduled.

WORM (write once, read many)
In computer storage media, WORM (write once, read many) is a data storage technology that allows information to be written to a disc a single time and prevents the drive from erasing the data. The discs are intentionally not rewritable, because they are especially intended to store data that the user does not want to erase accidentally. Because of this feature, WORM devices have long been used for the archival purposes of organizations such as government agencies or large enterprises. A type of optical media, WORM devices were developed in the late 1970s and have been adapted to a number of different media. The discs have varied in size from 5.25 to 14 inches wide, in varying formats ranging from 140MB to more than 3 GB per side of the (usually) double-sided medium. Data is written to a WORM disc with a low-powered laser that makes permanent marks on the surface.
5 Data Storage Technologies to Watch in 2016
For the past 13 years, the experts at SearchStorage.com have honored the best and brightest technologies for the upcoming year. As always, we're proud to present a batch of technologies we believe will make a big impact on the data storage market.

You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
Because of a lack of standardization, WORM discs have typically been only readable by the drive on which they were written, and hardware and software incompatibility has hampered their marketplace acceptance. Other optical media, such as CDs and DVDs that can be recorded once and read an unlimited number of times are sometimes considered WORM devices, although there is some argument over whether formats that can be written in more than one session (such as the multisession CD) qualify as such. CD-R has gradually been replacing traditional WORM devices, and it is expected that some newer technology, such as DVD-R or HD-ROM will eventually replace both WORM and CD-R devices.

Three days after trial, man faces new felony chargeJune 27,2013By Patrick McArdle
BENNINGTON — A Pleasant Street man who was found guilty earlier this month of recklessly shooting a deer from the road in November was recently arraigned on a new charge after police said he kissed a 14-year-old girl.
Joshua P. Hayes, 21, of Bennington, pleaded innocent last week in Bennington criminal court to a felony count of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Michael Plusch of the Bennington Police Department said he met with a woman on June 18 who had come to the police station to report that her 14-year-old daughter was in an inappropriate relationship with an older man.
Plusch said he and Wendy Nolan, an investigator with the Vermont Department of Children and Families, met with the girl at the Bennington County Child Advocacy Center on June 19.
During the interview, the girl said she and Hayes had "developed this relationship" over the previous four weeks, primarily through text messages. She said she had told him she was 14 and he had told her that he knew he could "get in trouble" because of their relationship.
Plusch said the girl told investigators that Hayes had sent her a text message on June 16 asking her to come to his apartment. At the apartment, Hayes kissed her and bit her neck, she told police. She said the contact was consensual, according to the affidavit.
While she told police that Hayes had been drinking beer, she said she had not had any alcohol.

Mornington Things to Do
Sorrento - Queenscliff ferry
The gap between the Mornington Peninsula and the Bellarine Peninsula is bridged by a regular passenger and vehicular ferry service between Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula and Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsula. Two catamarans, MV Sorrento and MV Queenscliff, ply the route on the hour throughout the year. Each vessel is capable of carrying 80 vehicles and 700 passengers. This was my first experience driving onto a vehicular ferry.Related to:

An ocean beach on Mornington Peninsula
On my drive along Mornington Peninsula, I came across many lovely beaches along Port Philip Bay. With time to spare before taking the Sorrento - Queenscliff vehicular ferry back to Melbourne via the Bellarine Peninsula, I decided to take a detour to explore the ocean side of the Mornington Peninsula. I was met with this beautiful beach on the ocean side of the peninsula. As expected, the waves were larger and rougher compared to those on the bayside.Related to:
- Beaches
Arthur's Seat on the Mornington...
The Mornington Peninsula is a peninsula located south-east of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia, surrounded by Port Phillip, Western Port Bay and Bass Strait.
A tourist region with a variety of beaches (both sheltered and open-sea) and seaside resorts, much of the area is now regarded as a part of greater Melbourne.
Like much of Australia, there have been significant plantings of wine grapes recently, and the region's cool-climate varieties (including pinot noir) are quite highly regarded.
Arthur's Seat, located 75 km to the south-east of Melbourne city, is a prominent massif which rises to 305 metres above Port Phillip Bay. There is a viewing area near the summit which has extensive views of Port Phillip Bay with the Melbourne City skyline.Related to:

I have two python programs and I want to communicate them.
Both of them are system services and none of them is forked by parent process.
Is there any way to do this without using sockets?
(eg by crating some Queue -> serialize it -> deserialize by other process and perform communication; or write on file process id to which perform communication, and then create magic structure which gets process id and send some messages to this process... )
The solution should work on Linux and Windows.

Apple Street Farm Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Shallots & Bacon
Total Time: 25
Yield: 10 servings
Few fall ingredient combinations are more delicious than Brussels sprouts, bacon, and something from the onion family. This dish proves that this humble vegetable is one of nature's great pleasures, and it's always a favorite at Apple Street Farm.
Login to add to your Recipe Box
Upload Your Photo
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 2-1/2 pounds small Brussels sprouts (fresh, not frozen), ends trimmed, halved lengthwise
- 8 medium-size shallots, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 2 teaspoons kosher or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1-2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil (optional)
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions:Preheat oven to 400°. On the stovetop, preheat a large (14-inch) oven-safe skillet on medium setting.
Cook bacon in preheated skillet, stirring often, until it begins to brown and fat has rendered, 6-8 minutes. Add Brussels sprouts, shallots, salt, and pepper, and stir. Vegetables should look rather glossy, not dry. If bacon hasn't provided enough fat, add an extra tablespoon of olive oil or other vegetable oil. Cook, stirring continuously, until Brussels sprouts begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
Stir in pecans and transfer pan to preheated oven. Cook until vegetables are tender, 15-20 minutes. Remove pan from oven; add wine and rosemary, stirring to pick up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Serve warm.

Suggested minimum rates
Although the negotiation of fees is obviously a matter for the individual freelance and client to resolve, the SfEP does suggest minimum hourly rates as a starting point for negotiations.
Suggested minimum rates from 1 March 2016
|Type of work
|Suggested minimum hourly rate
|Substantial editing, rewriting, development editing
|Project management
Society of Indexers' suggested minimum.
For details of suggested minimum rates in other areas of freelance work, the online NUJ freelance fees guide is recommended.
If you are a member, it is also worthwhile checking the SfEP rate for the job in the Members' area. Here you'll find the rates actually paid for copy-editing and proofreading by various companies, submitted anonymously by SfEP members. This has been modelled on the NUJ rate for the job, which can be checked for other types of editorial work.
How the suggested rates are set
The rates are reviewed annually, when they're either increased (broadly in line with inflation) or kept static during periods of economic downturn, but always with the aim of keeping them realistic yet still aspirational for our members.
Each review is carried out by the full council, taking into account inflation, the general economic situation, the health of the publishing industry, and any anecdotal evidence available concerning editorial freelance pay rates. Finally, the council discusses whether its proposed revisions are 'reasonable' given all of the above.
Each suggested minimum rate includes a factor to allow for holidays and other working time not actually spent editing/proofreading. It should also be remembered that editorial freelances are responsible for paying for their own National Insurance, pension provision, continuing professional development (CPD), office space, hardware, software and utilities. These all represent considerable savings in overhead costs for those employing the services of a freelance, over and above other savings made by not having to provide holiday pay, sick pay and family leave.
Although these rates are only suggestions and not enforceable, we would always encourage members and others working in the profession to accept lower rates only if they feel they are fair and reasonable for the job in hand, and never to accept unworkably low rates even to gain experience.
You may be able to find experienced individuals who will do editorial work for less than the suggested rates, as there is some variation depending on subject area, and an individual may always choose to accept a lower rate to take on a job of particular interest to them. Less experienced individuals may also be willing to work for a somewhat reduced rate to gain valuable experience. However, a member of the SfEP will always expect to be paid a fair and reasonable rate to reflect their professionalism, and we would always support them in this regard and suggest to clients that a good job is worth paying for. Non-SfEP editorial professionals may accept lower rates, but may also turn in a less professional piece of work.

I have set up some share file for multiple users and allowing them access only to folders that they have access to, this worked very well. But disk space was a problem, so I set up a bigger share on a different drive and set up the new share with exactly the same permissions.
The problem I face now is that all the users can see all the sub folders instead of seeing the folder that they have access to. (They cannot access the folders, but why are they showing up when the permissions should stop it from happening).

SAN ANTONIO (June 25, 2014) Romeo Alexander Duncan, 21, of San Antonio, was jailed Wednesday in lieu of $150,000 bond, charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury by omission in connection with the death of his 11-month-old daughter.
Duncan's daughter, Rubi Lynn, drowned in her bathwater on June 2, police said.
Duncan first told police he was giving her a bath, left for a few seconds to get her clothes and returned to find her under the water, an affidavit says, but then later changed his story about how long he was away.
Sgt. Javier Salazar says it appears Duncan was engaged in a drug deal over the phone when the girl drowned.

Far From Heaven Playwrights Horizon 416 W. 42nd Street New York, N.Y.Fans of the 2002 movie Far from Heaven will flock to the play version of the story, which just opened at Playwrights Horizon in New York. This time the work is a stage musical, not a drama, but the play has much of the same punch as the movie. It is emotional, troubling story of the underbelly of life in quiet Connecticut, in 1957 America, just before the Civil Rights movement gained steam and long before the gay rights movement caught fire.

I have purchased my own domain in GoDaddy. I have a server at home, Windows Server 2008 R2 to be specific. I do not have a static IP address, however I have created an account in No-IP, have the DUC software running which assures that the hostname I was provided with will always point to the dynamic IP address at my place.
However, in GoDaddy they ask for an IP to specify where is the site hosted. How can I do this?

Build your own custom fish tanks or we can build them for you. We can also offer help or teach you on how to build your own fish tank.
These aquariums can be made into different sizes and shapes. Check out the different sized tanks on the navigation at the right side of your screen. The cool thing about having your custom fish tank is that when friends and relatives visit, they would be intrigued with your fish tank and having a fish tank that is distinctly different from others is a great way of people remembering you. Custom built aquariums will liven up any room in your home or office.
We can handle custom aquarium Living Art installations all over the world. The only increase in costs are the travel expenses paid to the installation team and then potentially travel expenses for a pre-install site visit depending on the complexity of the design/installation. We can handle any type of aquarium size and design with the team and resources we have. Our installations include design, fabrication, Living Art equipment installation, decoration and system startup so that when we complete the installation, the system is ready to add freshwater fish & plants and saltwater fish, invertebrates, live rock and/or corals immediately. We also can handle the initial stocking of the aquarium even outside our immediate service area and will interview local maintenance companies for routine aquarium services to give you our recommendation on who local to use. In saltwater, we prefer to use live rock as a base for either a fish only or coral reef system, as we find live rock is more beneficial to a healthier successful Saltwater Living Art system.
Go ahead and decide on what fish tank you would like to build. Contact us and let us help you.

Darius sighed rather loudly as he waited on Moxie. Grant it he did tell her to come see him when she was ready but he was getting anxious, and very bored. He was also waiting to see if he was going to be accepted into this group but no one was coming for that either. Shrugging his shoulders he stood up and decided to explore this place. He'd only be gone for a bit...besides what was the worst that could happen?
A figure was walking down the hall opposite of Darius. He took note of the merc and took a look at what he was wearing. After shaking his head he continued walking down the hall until he saw a girl. He smiled as he recognized the girl from behind. He leaned back on the wall and called out to the girl.
"Wow I can't believe they let someone in here like you Sonya." came the voice of John Carmine.

REVELSTOKE, British Columbia (AP) - Another avalanche in a region of eastern British Columbia killed seven skiers Saturday - all of them high-school students, authorities said.
The dead were six boys and one girl, all in grade 10 at the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School, a private institution about 12 miles south of Calgary, Alberta.
"We are absolutely stricken with grief. Our hearts go out to all those who are impacted," said Tony Macoun, head of the school.
There were 17 people in the school group, three adults and 14 students in an outdoor education class, on their annual cross-country ski trip. The leaders of the group were two male teachers and a male volunteer. All three leaders had certification and backcountry experience, Macoun said.
The 10 survivors were airlifted to Glacier Park Lodge by helicopter, said Bob Pearce of the British Columbia Ambulance Service. One was hospitalized and some others suffered minor injuries, a Glacier Park spokesperson said.

U.S. ARMY KWAJALEIN ATOLL, Marshall Islands - What began as just an experiment 50 years ago has proven to be a successful and vital asset to the defense and security of the United States.
The Kiernan Reentry Measurements Site conducts critical ballistic missile testing and space surveillance on Kwajalein Atoll. It began with the construction of the Target Resolution and Discrimination Experiment (TRADEX) in 1961.
During its 50 years of operation, KREMS has participated in more than 900 ballistic missile tests. Today, KREMS continues to provide high-quality radar and optical measurements under the direction of Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Lincoln Laboratory.
Current and alumni MIT/LL staff, along with several distinguished guests, gathered at the U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll this week to celebrate 50 years of service with a series of events sponsored by MIT/LL.
Fifty-year friendships were easily recognized among the MIT/LL group who were the first to work at KREMS in the 1960s. They were joined by MIT/LL Director Eric Evans; Division Head of Air and Missile Defense Dr. Hsiao-hua Burke; U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of the Marshall Islands Martha Campbell; Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Zachary Lemnios; Director of Test and Warfighter Solutions Center for U.S. Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command Debra Wymer; and military aide to Lemnios Col. Brian Bedell.
The group arrived Feb. 11 and spent the next few days in technical meetings regarding modernization and operation of KREMS today. The alumni used their time to become reacquainted with the home they knew long ago.
The visit culminated Monday on Roi-Namur with technical tours of KREMS, followed by a ceremony to commemorate 50 years of Lincoln Laboratory's presence at Kwajalein Atoll.
Evans began the ceremony with a short recollection of Col. Joseph M. Kiernan Jr., for whom the range was named.
"[He] created much of the vision for the range during his leadership in the early 1960s," Evans said. "It's been a privilege for Lincoln Laboratory to have been a part of his vision for technological development and operations here for so many years."
Evans praised the alumni in attendance along with those who keep the range operational today. "The range has been run by some of the world's best technology leaders. … We're very proud of the team that we have here."
Campbell continued to praise the hard-working personnel responsible for keeping KREMS operational for 50 years. She commended the unique partnership between the RMI and the U.S. and then spoke of the changing times.
"Fifty years ago the world was a very different place. The U.S. was locked in a Cold War conflict that threatened our country and the world with frightening technologies. Today the Cold War is over and though many of those threats are mitigated, others have emerged and the work you do here is more important than ever."
She said RTS is an integral part of the Pacific range, America's homeland defense and global security. Looking forward, she expects RTS will continue to play a vital role in defense of America and its international partners.
Like the visiting MIT/LL alumni, Lemnios also has a personal tie to Kwajalein. His father, William, worked as the head of MIT's Division 3, Air and Missile Defense Technology, which was responsible for the Kwajalein program. It was fitting that Lemnios be present to celebrate the success of KREMS -- success that his father was certainly a part of. He discussed the history of the first families who worked for MIT/LL on Kwajalein and then the history of each radar as it became operational.
"As I look at the legacy of accomplishments on this range and at the staff that worked here -- it's absolutely remarkable," he stated. He then read aloud a letter addressed to Evans from Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta. "Since its creation in 1951, MIT/LL has made significant contributions to the department's operations and capabilities through scientific discoveries and technical improvements in critical defense areas. … The laboratory's accomplishments have played a significant part in the deployment of current ballistic missile systems and tactical concepts for our nation's space surveillance systems. Thank you for your partnership in ensuring our nation's security."
Wymer voiced regrets from Gen. Richard Formica who could not attend.
"SMDC is proud of the relationship we have with Lincoln. Together we've kept the KREMS sensors modernized so that they remain world-class assets for DoD and the nation."
Wymer highlighted some of the impressive modernization projects to KREMS. Fifty years of service is a testament not only to the radars themselves, but also to those who run it and the relationship between SMDC and MIT/LL, said Wymer. She thanked the alumni in attendance and conveyed her enjoyment in conversing with them about what life was like on Kwajalein in the 1960s.
Evans closed the ceremony by looking to the future. "Lincoln Laboratory is very proud to be a part of the range's great legacy. As we look ahead, we look forward to working on the next set of technology challenges. We look forward to playing the talents of our best staff. We look forward to continuing our partnership with the Marshallese people. And we look forward to meeting the very significant national security challenges that lie ahead."
Evans presented a plaque from MIT/LL to USAKA for 50 years of service, which was accepted by Col. Joseph Gaines, USAKA commander.

Gladiator Helmet Seeks to Free NFL Players From Concussion Pain
As an offensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers in their glory years, Steve Wallace knew plenty about the pain of concussions.
So when he got clobbered by a linebacker in 1994, Wallace recalls that he expected the familiar aftershock. Instead, Wallace walked away uninjured because he was wearing a foam helmet protector called a ProCap, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its Dec. 13 edition.
"I was just waiting for that buzz, that pain you get, but it didn't happen," he said.
During a National Football League season marked by head injuries and a quest to protect players from hits to the head and neck, the technology that spared Wallace may be poised for a comeback. Its inventor, designer Bert Straus, has incorporated the ProCap concept into a helmet he calls the Gladiator, with three layers of protection instead of the current two.
The Gladiator has padding on the outside, then hard plastic, then more padding inside to distribute the energy of impact. The face mask is mounted on flexible plastic to absorb blows.
"The answer is not to keep making these things harder," Straus said, smiling as he bashed his knee with one of his helmets.
The original ProCap was worn in the early 1990s by a handful of players who had suffered concussions. It was a polyurethane foam shell stuck to a standard hard helmet with Velcro. Players thought it looked ridiculous, so it never caught on.
'Look Cool'
"You wanted to look cool out there," said Mark Kelso, who as a safety for the Buffalo Bills wore the ProCap because of concussions. Kelso swallowed his pride and said he discovered that it worked well, adding years to his career.
He is an investor in Protective Sports Equipment, Inc., an Edinboro, Pennsylvania, company part-owned by Straus that made both the ProCap and today's Gladiator, now streamlined so it no longer seems like a prop from "The Jetsons" television cartoon.
As an independent designer, Straus has worked on everything from dental equipment to streetcars. He designed the ProCap in the 1980s after seeing players carted from the field on stretchers. He calls the Gladiator a passion, driven by the conviction that concussions can be stopped by abandoning rock-hard helmets.
Youth, College Market
The NFL says players can wear the Gladiator if it is approved by a national standards group. Straus said he's seeking approval. The real prize, though, is the much larger market for college and youth teams, which often take their cues from the pros.
One potential roadblock is a claim by some specialists that the foam shell, because blows are absorbed rather than glancing off it, may transfer the energy of a hit from a player's head to his neck. Straus says the theory isn't backed by evidence, and Wallace and Kelso say that's contrary to what they experienced in years of using the ProCap.
"I never had another concussion when I wore it," Wallace said. "I want the guys out there to know about this."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Choosing a Doctor You Can Trust
May 8, 2000 -- How can you minimize complications in the delivery room, the operating room, or the doctor's office? Find a doctor who will be open with you. The best strategy is to ask frank questions about any previous lawsuits and the outcome, says Laurie Green, MD, an obstetrician-gynecologist (ob-gyn) practicing in San Francisco. It may be uncomfortable posing these questions, and you must keep in mind that prior performance is no guarantee there won't be future complications. But just imagine what it would be like asking questions after something goes wrong. Here's a game plan to help you get started in your search:
- . Compare notes with reputable organizations. Whittle your list down to a few doctors, and contact your state board of medical examiners to verify their credentials. "You'll need to find out that your doctor is both board-certified and in good standing," says Michelle Bourque, a New Orleans-based defense lawyer with the American Bar Association who works with health professionals.
"Contact the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), a member society that can also help you check up on your physician," says Bourque. Membership in a specialty society is an honor and requires that doctors fulfill certain requirements in order to belong. To become a member of ACOG, a physician needs to have graduated from a medical school approved by ACOG. He or she must have completed a residency program. And he must provide recommendation letters, proof of licensure, and verification of good standing. ACOG will provide a list of their members in your area or can verify whether your current physician is a member. You can visit ACOG's web site for additional information.
- Word-of-mouth referrals can also steer you in the right direction. "Ask your family, friends, and co-workers about the ob-gyns whom they've used," says Bourque. Some doctors may be willing to provide their own references from satisfied patients.
- Know your own preferences, then seek out someone who shares your views. Determine what you think is important about the birth experience. Weigh the pros and cons of optional or controversial procedures, such as episiotomies or the use of forceps. Then find out whether your doctor's views match yours.
- Do your own interview with a prospective doctor. Where did she go to school or finish her residency? How long has she been in practice? What emergency situations has she been in and how were those handled? You should also ask your doctor about her practice philosophy: How does she feel about her patients? How much time does she give her patients? But keep in mind that doctors -- especially those in HMOs -- see many patients. Just because she can't spend a lot of time with you at every visit doesn't necessarily mean that she isn't a good choice.
- Trust your instincts. Are you comfortable asking questions, and is the doctor comfortable answering them? Is she helpful? Does she explain things in a language that you understand? Remember: If you don't like your doctor at the office, how are you going to feel on the big day?

The College of Nursing 2017 rankings by U.S. News & World Report.
The following are the 2017 rankings
The University of Colorado College of Nursing has had more than a century to establish its reputation as one of the best in the country. We are known for our pioneering initiatives, including being the birthplace of the first nurse practitioner program in the world and offering online education many years before other schools. Our master's program is ranked 15th in the nation in the 2015 rankings of graduate schools by U.S. News & World Report.
Also ranked by the U.S. News & World Report is our pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) specialty at 5th, our nurse-midwifery specialty at 13th, and our family nurse practitioner specialty at 16th in the nation.
The adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner specialty program prepares nurses to treat adults in the specialty areas of urgent, emergent and critical care, and to sit for the adult-gerontology acute care certification exam.
The number of advanced practice nurses prepared to care for the diverse aging population is woefully inadequate—fewer than three percent nationally. That's why it's smart to consider adding to your education and career potential by earning an advanced practice adult-gerontology degree. Explore two paths toward caring for an aging population here.
Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGPCNP)
Adult-Gerontology Clinical Nurse Specialist
Family nurse practitioners provide primary care to infants, children, adults and geriatric patients. Entry into practice as a primary care nurse practitioner demands educational preparation at a minimum of a master's degree in nursing.
The PMHNP program provides course work that focuses on complex psychiatric nursing assessment and interventions in children, adolescents, adults and older adults.
The field of informatics provides opportunities for health care professionals to become leaders in the forefront of health care transformation through the use of provider and patient care technologies. Our online programs prepare you to plan, select, design and implement emerging technologies that advance consumer engagement, support clinical decision making, promote safety and drive quality care.
The nurse-midwifery option prepares the graduate to provide safe, competent and satisfying care to women and their families during the childbearing years, as well as primary care health issues across the lifespan.
The pediatric nurse practitioner (PNP) specialty focuses on the delivery of primary health care to infants, children and adolescents.
The College of Nursing is offering a MS program in the Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PACNP) Specialty.
The purpose of the special studies option is to create a pathway to obtain the MS degree for students who may already have certification in an advanced practice area.
The women's health nurse practitioner option focuses on the primary health care needs of women from adolescence through the older adulthood.
The i-LEAD (innovation in leadership and administration in nursing and health care systems) program will prepare advanced practice nurses with the expertise to provide leadership for high quality health care in rural and medically under-served urban areas.
Veteran and Military Health Care is a health care specialty based on the unique attributes of the veteran and military service member population.

Both Summers and Stevens play the topman in their scenes. Summers is a cop, hot for Wolff, a guy at his health club. But Wolff ignores him, until Summers manages to pick him up in the line of duty, and have his way with him. In the closing scene, Stevens picks up surfer Chad Conners when Conners' car breaks down. Stevens offers him a place to crash and a shower, and Conners pays him back by taking Stevens' cock up his pretty butt.
The pictures on the box will catch many an eye. The fantasies are sure to please. Tall Tales is a worth addition to your rental stock.

Blogs Cliopatria Why is There So Much Anti-Muslim Sentiment in the Netherlands?Oct 5, 2010 8:24 pm
Why is There So Much Anti-Muslim Sentiment in the Netherlands?
...Because it's a tiny, densely populated country with a high immigration rate. The Netherlands is hardly the only European nation to spawn a strong anti-immigrant political wing. France just passed a law banning burqas. Swiss voters passed a ban on the construction of new minarets in 2009. Austria's Freedom Party campaigned this year on a platform that included anti-immigrant slogans. But the Netherlands has a higher population density—about 400 people per square kilometer—than any other major European country. It also has a stronger flow of immigrants—2.55 migrants for every thousand people—than most of its neighbors, and Muslims constitute about 6 percent of the country's population of 16 million. (In Austria, Switzerland and Germany, they make up about 4 percent.) And whereas Muslims are ghettoized in countries like the United Kingdom, they're more visible in the Netherlands, with largely Muslim neighborhoods abutting Christian ones and more integration between them....

Mine were pretty chapped and I didnt get that stingy burning feeling you can often get from the scented flavored chapsticks. Im sold on EOS for lips. O, and I had ir shipped to my home for .97 and it arrived in 4 days!
This lip balm works wonders! Just using it once, made a huge difference in the texture of my lips. Not only does this balm soften, but it also helps your lips stay healthy. I love this balm ^ ^
Love this lip balm. I have lemon, strawberry cream and the honeydew/honeysuckle. I find that I don't have to apply the lip balm nearly as often as I do with other like-products. My lips stay soft, hydrated and non-chapped. I like that it is made with organic ingredients and not a lot of chemicals. Definitely recommend this product.
I loved this lipbalm it is amazing and smells just like a lemon flavored candy. I like it because it has SPF 15 and it moisturizes very well.
I love the eos lip products, Not only is the packaging cute, the lip balm is very moisturizing. Smells great to.
I got this online to add to my Eos collection. This lip balm smells sooo good and tastes even better! It reminds me of a sugary lemon tart or a lemon starburst. The only thing I don't like about this product is that it doesn't moisturize my lips as good as the other Eos lip balms, but I can live with that. I'll definitely be using this a lot during the summer because I'll be outside a lot and need the SPF.
My husband and I LOVE eos! I love the smooth sphere lip balm, I am collecting each one! :) ...they work great and smell great, and I love the shape! ;] ...the whole line works great. I definitely recommend the products to everyone! Have fun! ♥
Love the round shape and colorful exterior. The balm does what I need it to do as it helps prevent my lips from being dry and sore feeling in cold weather. As far as scents/flavor, I've only tried the mint and the lemon; both are great. Enjoy!
I love EOS and was pleased to find one with SPF. The lemon is great! Highly recommend .
I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE THE LEMON DROP!! IT IS SO EASY TO HOLD ON TOO AND THE TASTE IS WONDERFUL!!! IT SEEMS TO LAST LONGER THAN MY OTHER LIPBALMS FROM AVON,AND EVEN THE OLD FAITHFUL..CARMEX!! SO MUCH BETTER & TOTALLY FASHIONABLE!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED WITH EOS's LEMON DROP LIPBALM!!!
It's organic and cute and awesome colors . Not heavy on the lips and a nice smell. Love it!
I really love the lemon drop EOS lip balm. It smells really good, like lemon heads ( the candy ) which I also love. It is smooth on your lips & moisturizing. It does not have that waxy feeling on your lips like summer fruit.
The product it's self is super unique and cool looking.And it smells really good and is super moisturizing.
I have tried almost all of the EOS lip balm flavors, and the Lemon Drop is my favorite. I live in a very dry climate and it isn't necessary for me to reapply this formula as often as other flavors and brands. The SPF is nice & WalMart's price is the lowest I've found. It's also great that there is minimal packaging....no product card to recycle. The only drawback is that the shape does not fit well in a pants pocket. The shape is fun, though, and the container has a nice feel in the hand without being slippery.
Not as moisturizing as I thought it would be. Honestly I had higher hopes for this since Ii paid so much. The design of the container is intuitive but I havent decided if I'll be buying again. More 'sticky' than smooth though not as sticky as most. With the brand name being eos (which stands for evolution of smooth), I am not overly impressed. On the pro side, I love lemon scents and this did live up to things in that sense. It has a citrusy sweet lemon smell. Very clean.
Love these and so do my young boys. Have purchased the variety pack from Costco, but needed just the SPF ones. So I bought 10 from Walmart. Hoping this gets them through the summer. Cool design, goes on smooth, no tackiness or stickiness.
I like the egg shaped container and the scent is quite nice. However, it doesn't moisturize as well compared to my Burt's Bees mango lip balm. It's also a bit sweet and slightly sticky. I would recommend as a fun gift for friends because of the nice packaging. But for myself, I think this brand doesn't work well for my chapped lips.
This lip balm is very cute, so of course I wanted to try it. It is very easy to use, with a big dome shaped balm when opened. It's not as greasy or oily as I would like. It's not the kind for any kind of real chapped lip healing. But, it's light, smells great and goes on very smoothly. You really can't see that you've put it on. It's great under lipstick. If you are looking for shine or color this is NOT the balm to get.
I love the EOS products. And this lemon drop scent is heavenly! But, there is a very bad aftertaste from the sunscreen that is in the lip balm. It leaves a terrible taste in my mouth from just wearing it and talking or drinking. I'm so disappointed!
I never leave home without it. Always works, and the lemon is kinda nice throughout the day.

In my opinion, one of the best features that was added to OSX in Panther is Expose. With the push of a key on your keyboard you can see all of the open windows on your computer, and click the one you want to switch to. If you are like me, I don't want to stop working and reach for the F9 key. I want a quicker way to run this feature of Expose. Well, if you have a click-wheel mouse or a Mighty Mouse this Macspiration is for you.
A click-wheel mouse is a mouse that has a scroll-wheel, which also double as another mouse button. I use a Kensington mouse, but any mouse with this feature and programmable buttons will work.

"I was told I was coming here to pass a Roane Alliance budget," he said.

The commotion had to do with an officer-involved shooting on Barnard Narrows Road.

M. Spencer Green, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For years, many Americans followed a simple career path: Land an entry-level job. Accept a modest wage. Gain skills. Leave eventually for a better-paying job.
The workers benefited, and so did lower-wage retailers such as Wal-Mart: When its staffers left for better-paying jobs, they could spend more at its stores. And the U.S. economy gained, too, because more consumer spending fueled growth.
Not so much anymore. Since the Great Recession began in late 2007, that path has narrowed because many of the next-tier jobs no longer exist. That means more lower-wage workers have to stay put. The resulting bottleneck is helping widen a gap between the richest Americans and everyone else.
"Some people took those jobs because they were the only ones available and haven't been able to figure out how to move out of that," Bill Simon, CEO of Wal-Mart U.S., acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press.
If Wal-Mart employees "can go to another company and another job and make more money and develop, they'll be better," Simon explained. "It'll be better for the economy. It'll be better for us as a business, to be quite honest, because they'll continue to advance in their economic life."
Yet for now, the lower-wage jobs once seen as stepping stones are increasingly being held for longer periods by older, better-educated, more experienced workers.
The trend extends well beyond Wal-Mart, the nation's largest employer, and is reverberating across the U.S. economy. It's partly why average inflation-adjusted income has declined 9 percent for the bottom 40 percent of households since 2007, even as incomes for the top 5 percent now slightly exceed where they were when the recession began late that year, according to the Census Bureau.
Research shows that occupations that once helped elevate people from the minimum wage into the middle class have disappeared during the past three recessions dating to 1991.
One such category includes bookkeepers and executive secretaries, with average wages of $16.54 an hour, according to the Labor Department. Since the mid-1980s, the economy has shed these middle-income jobs — a trend that's become more pronounced with the recoveries that have followed each subsequent recession, according to research by Henry Siu, an economist at the University of British Columbia, and Duke University economist Nir Jaimovich.
That leaves many workers remaining in jobs as cashiers earning an average of $9.79 an hour, or in retail sales at roughly $10.50 — jobs that used to be entry points to higher-paying work. Hourly pay at Wal-Mart averages $8.90, according to the site Glassdoor.com. (Wal-Mart disputes that figure; it says its pay for hourly workers averages $11.83.)
Since the Great Recession began, the share of U.S workers employed by the retail and restaurant sector has risen from 16.5 percent to 17.1 percent.
"It really has contributed to this widening of inequality," Siu said.
The shift has injected new pressures into the economy. Older and better-educated retail and fast food workers have become more vocal in pressing for raises. Labor unions helped launch protests last year against such employers as Wal-Mart, McDonald's and Burger King.
Fewer teenagers are staffing cash registers, prepping meals or stocking shelves, according to government data. Replacing them are adults, many of whom are struggling with the burdens of college debt or child rearing. Some are on the verge of what was once envisioned as retirement years.
They are people like Richard Wilson, 27, in Chicago. More than 2½ years ago, a Wal-Mart store manager spotted Wilson cleaning the cafeteria at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.

My friends and I listen to your podcasts when we go out on the town. It is awesome. Especially when we get lost because I'm laughing and then we can't find a bowling alley so we forget about going bowling and go to this shady restaurant in the middle of the city and one of our friends starts freaking out because he thinks we're going to get assaulted by the Floral Bandits and then we had to leave so he wouldn't complain anymore.

In the following review, Pritchard examines a selection of recent novels, including Disobedience, arguing that Hamilton's realistic portrayal of a mother-son relationship is "a solid and credible achievement."
William Trevor's most recent collection of short fiction has met with universal praise, an unusual consensus even for such a distinguished writer.1 As one of the reviewers who praised it, I can't help wondering whether anything in addition to the clear merit of his work is responsible for the unanimity. It may have something to do with a related fact—that even more than with most writers, detailing the plot and describing the characters of a Trevor story is of no use in suggesting that story's feel, its texture. Mr. Trevor's sensibility is extraordinarily resistant to "ideas,...

Got a bug up my butt to get a snub nose. Decided I wanted the SW 638. The air weight with the little stubby hammer barely sticking up. Find one on CalGuns forum. Included is leather pocket holster, spare ammo pouch, Ankle holster, Crimson trace grips, speed loader and 2 boxes of Gold Dot defense ammo.
Have not shot yet, but glad I could find one. Anybody have one of these? Do you li,e it?

I traded my LC9 for a 637-2 Airweight last Saturday. It's a lot lighter than the 9 was but looks a lot more like a gun in my pocket. I haven't fired mine yet either but still trust a revolver more than an auto. I bought the Buffalo Bore hp low velocity rounds for it, suppose to do better in short barrel guns.

SkyCity Entertainment will be the
preferred operator for Queenstown's proposed convention
centre in plans released today.
Queenstown Lakes Mayor Vanessa van Uden said in a statement
the project, yet to get approval, would be taken forward by a
consortium led by Ngai Tahu Property Limited and Morrison
& Co.
Ms van Uden, who has headed a group looking at the convention
centre plan, said several issues had to be resolved before
the council could formally commit to the project.
The next step would involve community consultation through
the QLDC Annual Plan process from April to June.
"The community will want to understand what this means for
them, and in particular issues such as site location, funding
and governance structures.
"Our preferred site at this stage is to use the Lakeview
site, which has long been earmarked for development. The site
offers world-class lake and mountain views, but is minutes
from Queenstown's heart."
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
