It's Mardi Gras season, Ya'll, and this means time to get your beads, and your masks, and doubloons, and of course, your Mardi Gras King Cake, because no Mardi Gras party is complete without an authentic, 'New Orleans style' King Cake.
What is 'King Cake'? King Cake, or Twelfth Night Cake, the celebrated symbol of carnival season in New Orleans, is a Danish dough, or coffee cake that is braided and baked with a cinnamon sugar topping, and then finished with fondant icing (contains almond extract) adorned with decorative sugars, representing the official Mardi Gras colours of purple (for justice), green (for faith), and gold (for power).
In traditional New Orleans fashion, a plastic baby is inserted inside each cake, for some lucky person to find. What does it mean when you find the baby? Well, if you are 'Down South', it means you get to host the next Mardi Gras party. Many people, here in Canada, also choose their 'king' or 'queen' of the party this way. Doesn't this sound like a lot of fun, already?
Wondering where you might find such a cake for your party? Well, it is much easier than booking a flight into New Orleans, and of course, much more affordable. Let the Mississippi Queen bring a lil' bit of Nawlins to ya', and make you, into the Host, or Hostess, with the Mostess!
I know many of you anxiously await the arrival of Mardi Gras season, so you can get your hands on one of my authentic King Cakes. The only way you can find a more authentic Mardi Gras King Cake, is by booking a flight into Nawlins', on Fat Tuesday, and eating a king cake, while standing on Canal Street, as you watch the Krewe of Rex, or Zulu, roll on by!
Order one of my King Cakes, and your guests will be impressed that you have not forgotten a thing! They may even wonder when you found the time to fly into New Orleans for a King Cake…wink…wink.
$45 for Mardi Gras King Cake packaged in a windowed cake box Each of my authentic, Mardi Gras King Cakes, includes a plastic baby, and comes packed in a windowed cake box, on a foil covered cake board. Included in the box are doubloons and three strands of throw beads. Each cake serves approximately 15-20 people.
Wishin' you lots of good eatin', and a Happy Carnival Season…..
Whenever Mississippi Queen Connie Rouble brings a delectable desert over to JAZZ.FM91 you can be sure she'll return home with an empty plate! Her Pecan pie is rich, sumptuous and savory, clearly the result of superior ingredients. There's fun in her food! Connie taught us how to pronounce Pah-Cahn, in the sweet southern style. Another favorite is the Mardis Gras King cake, which was king size and even featured a tiny "Baby Jesus" baked inside! The Mississippi Queen's cooking is first class and authentic in the tradition only a true daughter of the south could dish up! Seconds and thirds are always in order!

The cakes were a great hit today!

Dear Connie,
I just wanted to say thank-you for the wonderful King Cake you created for my proposal defense. Together with your help, I was able to successfully defend my proposal and I am off to New Orleans on December 1st. My PhD supervisor, who had been to Mardi Gras a number of years ago, was very excited to see the King Cake and was amazed that I was able to get one here in Ontario. I also told the student who found the baby, that she is responsible for hosting a Mardi Gras / King Cake party in February.
A very special thank you. I know you went out of your way to make this for me and I am very appreciative.
I am sure we will run into each other again.
Thanks so much,
Angela in Toronto, who was working on her PhD, in Ontario, presenting her dissertation on Muses, the all woman Mardi Gras Krewe.
Just wanted to say thank you again for such wonderful products. Finding the Mississippi Queen was the find of the year!
After picking up my supplies for Mardi Gras it was all I could do not to start eating the cake right away. All I could smell on the ride home was the delicious smell of the cake. It was the centrepiece of my Mardi Gras table, and that position was well deserved as it was the highlight of the evening. Everyone went back for seconds, and sometimes thirds ... and there was no shortage of requests for doggy bags to take some home. I've had homemade, and store bought King Cake from NOLA and all over - I can say yours really was the best.
All the other products you sold also helped make it an unforgettable meal for my guests. With your help I made real authentic Cajun creations from scratch ... you had everything I needed to blacken my catfish, make a cajun batter for the alligator, spicy seafood gumbo and sausage jambalaya. It was funny to watch my guests ask ... "What are you going to do with all those left overs?" ... all the hinting and nudging lead to care packages to be shared with all (even those who couldn't make it to the party). I've been swamped with thank you's from guests and second hand recipients all weekend.
So thank you Connie - I'm glad I found you and your store. Your cooking skills and inventory of Cajun culinary delights are fantastic. A loss for the South, a gain for Canada!
Ya'll a great cook, a great proprietor and a great lady!
Henry, Mississauga
Dear Connie,
Thank you so much for the delicious King Cake. It was a real treat and a fantastic surprise for my husband!
I am very happy to have discovered you online and hope to order from you again in the future!
I got the baby in my second piece of cake, so it looks like I'm the one who has to order it from you next year! :)
All the best,
Emily, in Toronto
Ok we aren't a minute in the truck and we dig in and wow woman you have something goin on here love it! Thanks for spreadin the love!

Connie is like a warm Southern breeze in this chilly Toronto weather! New Orleans holds a very special place in my heart, and I have ordered her DELICIOUS king cakes for the past four Fat Tuesdays in a row. You can tell that the secret ingredient in her cooking is LOVE, and she's just as passionate about givin' you some Southern hospitality as she is about her amazing food! I DARE you to try her gumbo and not fall in love with Connie, her kitchen and her bright red hair :-)! Tastebuds Please, Belly Filler, Great Results, Personable, and High Integrity.

For my fellow Torontonians (and surrounding area locals who LOVE New Orleans as much as we do!) A poster led us to a place here in Toronto that makes King Cakes. It's called Mississippi Queen Foods. It's run by a lovely lady named Connie who is from Mississippi, and not only does she hand bake the cakes (with the baby inside!) she also provides access to Nawlins stuff that is so hard to access up here. We ordered a King Cake for Super Bowl Sunday. I wish I could post the pictures I took, coz it tastes as great as it is beautiful (and it's HUGE!) For anyone who is interested in a "Northern Mardi Gras" coz we can't get to New Orleans (sob!) her website is….
You are the best and EVERYONE should know that!!!......
Just wanted to let you know that the cake was AMAZING!!!!! Didn't think there was any way it could be better than the first one, but you really outdid yourself this time around! Thank you also for the beads--we have them put aside with our "special beads" that we take in for the winter and hang on the garage in the summer). They will proudly hang there as soon as summer comes (which can't be soon enough!)…..
The King Cake was still warm when Connie brought it to us! Delicious too. Our piece of New Orleans in the frozen North :)
You're wonderful and so is your business!

I can't thank you enough!! My daughter's Mardi Gras celebration was such fun - the kids loved every part of it and I have you to thank for that!
Julie, in Toronto (originally from the South)
We soooooo enjoyed your King Cake at our Virtual Baby Shower/Snardi Gras! Thanks for your speedy delivery and awesome service! It was amazing cake and wonderful to meet you! Always nice to see a fellow southern belle making the most of this winter wonderland we live in!
Stephanie Chiquette, A Couple of Chicks e-Marketing
Dear Miss Connie,
Thank you kindly, from the Louisiana couple that met in Hawaii, got married in Canada and were so lucky to have found an amazing service that took an order 2 days before their party for awesome King Cakes!
They were a hit, and even the N'awlins locals were very pleased!
It truly complimented the theme of our party- a mixture of cultures melded into one happy family!
Thank you for your prompt responses and timely delivery!
John & Ginger
Hi Connie: I just wanted to let you know that our party was a huge success and in no small party to your food! Everyone loved the Jambalaya and of course the King Cake and ice cream! We finished the Jambalaya and most of our guests asked for a piece of cake to take home. It was simply gorgeous as well as delicious. We got the baby by the way, so I guess we will host again next year! I'm enjoying my Community Coffee right now as I write this. I can't wait to try the Gumbo and red beans tomorrow for our dinner. I gave out your business cards and I'm sure you will be getting calls from my friends.
Thanks again for everything - I couldn't have done it without your help! I have to go and have a piece of that cake now - I hear it calling my name!
Happy Mardi Gras!
JoAnne, Toronto
Hi Connie,
Thank you so much.......My Mom, who is from New Orleans, really was surprised and enjoyed the king cake.
Tiffany S., Toronto
My Canadian co-workers got a kick out of the cake and beads...the "baby" went with us to the casino that night and was quite lucky for us :) Lots of fun!
Thanks again.
Mary (visiting Toronto from Dallas)
The cakes were a huge hit! My coworkers thought I was nuts to get the three cakes, but it's all gone with a couple of pieces saved for people who were not in today.
And they loved trying to find the baked baby.
Thanks so much!
Jeannie, Toronto
Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that the King Cake was a hit….thank you for making a fun day!
Donna, Toronto
The king cake was fantastic! Really delicious. Thank you so much. We really enjoyed it and we had a great evening.

Salt Shaker Angel Ornament Tutorial
I've had a lot of visitors searching for my salt shaker angel ornament tutorial since I posted about working on it a few weeks ago. Yippee, it has now officially been posted. You can find the tutorial link here.
It is quick, easy and a real best seller for craft shows. I have one left only because I saved one at home. Seriously, after gluing the heads, I finished 20 of them in an evening.

Over the weekend, major media outlets ran seemingly wall-to-wall coverage of a 2005 recording of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump making inappropriate remarks about women.
These recordings were indeed disturbing, and Trump has since apologized for them, stating that he was a changed man. Despite this apology, liberals (and some Republicans) have continued to slam Trump over the tape, claiming he should drop out of the race.
Unsurprisingly, liberals seem to have forgotten when MSNBC host Chris Matthews was caught on a hot microphone making similar comments about Melania Trump.
"Did you see her walk? Runway walk. My God, that is good. I could watch that runway show," Matthews said when Trump held a news conference just after he won the Indiana primary and became the presumptive nominee
Matthews is still employed, and liberals have completely forgotten that he even made those remarks. See, in the liberal world it's perfectly acceptable for a liberal to degrade women, but the moment a Republican does it, it's a crime against humanity.
The left's hypocrisy was further revealed in what many liberals want our society to become. Liberals constantly promote some of the most vile things imaginable and defend immorality, but then get their feathers all ruffled when someone says the "P-word."
Yes, what Trump said was wrong. But what Matthews said was also wrong. If liberals are going to get all frazzled over Trump, they should treat Matthews' comments the same.
Alternatively, liberals should simply state that both were wrong, let the parties involved apologize and then move on, which is probably what most of America wants by now.
There are far greater threats facing our nation today than what Trump said 11 years ago. Liberals need to actually start looking at what is happening today and move on from what they had hoped would be the death blow to Trump's campaign.

Immigration Laws Trigger Stress in Latino Families
The study involved 213 Latino parents of adolescent children. Most were from Central America, and two-thirds were living in the United States legally either as citizens or permanent residents, or under temporary protected status. Researchers from the Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University in Washington, D.C., examined the effects of 2017 immigration policy changes on these Latino families.
The researchers discovered a significant number of the parents and children are at very high risk for anxiety, depression, and other forms of distress. Many parents are taking steps to avoid authorities by changing their routines and are encouraging their children to do the same. Nearly 40 percent of parents avoid getting medical care, help from the police, or support from social services because of their fears.

Nominees of the Industry Excellence Award ITMA 2015 must be nominated by exhibitors. Institutions participating in the ITMA 2015 Research and Education pavilion are eligible to nominate their post-graduate students for the Research & Education Excellence Award
Entries can be submitted online at www.itma.com from 1 September 2014 to 1 March 2015.
ITMA 2015 - a knowledge hub
Complementing the exhibition are several initiatives that will promote knowledge exchange and networking. "All the initiatives are designed to help industry members heighten their engagement with the very important subject of sustainable innovation at ITMA 2015," explained Mr Beauduin.
Research and Education Pavilion
The pavilion showcases leading-edge research that will power textile innovation and well-known institutions that develop world-class human resources. Papers on topics related to 'Sustainable Innovation', 'Achievement in Innovation' and 'Technical Textiles' are invited for submission. CEMATEX will continue to support institutions participating in the pavilion through a grant of at least 50 per cent to help cover their participation cost.
World Textile Summit
The World Textile Summit made a successful debut at ITMA 2011. It is owned by CEMATEX, MP Expositions and World Textile Information Network. To be held on 13 November 2015, the second summit will explore sustainability strategies that create business value in the textile manufacturing value chain. It has the support of Textile Institute and the Sustainable Apparel Coalition.
Nonwovens Forum at ITMA
ITMA 2015 has the support of International Association for the Nonwovens and Related Industries (EDANA). EDANA and ITMA 2015 organiser MP Expositions will jointly organise a nonwovens forum on 16 November 2015. The programme will feature topics related to global industry trends, opportunities and challenges, as well as production technologies and management.
Textile Colourant and Chemical Leaders Forum
The Textile Dyestuff and Chemical Leaders Forum, launched at ITMA 2011, was an industry initiative that drew lively participation from dyestuff, colour and chemical professionals from around the world. The forum has been rebranded as Textile Colourant and Chemical Leaders Forum, to be in line with the ITMA index of products change from dyestuffs to colourants. This forum will be held on 14 November 2015.
Innovation launch pad
ITMA is returning to Milan after 20 years, and response for exhibit space for the 2015 exhibition has been positive. Over 65 per cent of the space booked to date has been reserved by CEMATEX members. Currently, Italy takes the top spot, followed by Germany, Turkey, India, Switzerland and Belgium. Washing, bleaching, dyeing and finishing; spinning; knitting; weaving; and printing are the top sectors.
Ms Sylvia Phua, MP's strategic partner of ITMA 2015, said: "ITMA has a strong reputation as the world's most established textile and garment technology showcase. Every four years, the entire global industry converges at ITMA to witness the launch of cutting-edge innovations. Hence, we are anticipating even more applications to stream in once ITMA ASIA + CITME has concluded as most of the exhibitors have been busy with the combined show."
Around the world, interest in the nonwovens and technical textiles sector is on the rise, thanks to strong demand from end-user industries. As a result, ITMA 2015 will have greater emphasis on technological innovations in this sector.
"ITMA is always reinventing itself in order to be a relevant showcase of solutions that meet the present and future needs of the industry. As more innovative materials and applications are created, leading textile and garment industry players can leverage on ITMA to explore new and better solutions that can move their business forward in this exciting sector," added Ms Phua.
At the same time, buyers can source a wide range of raw materials. The fibre and yarn chapter at ITMA features natural, man-made and technical fibres, and natural, synthetic and technical yarns. The 2015 edition will also include a new sub-chapter on recycled fibres and yarns as the textile and garment industry moves towards sustainable production.
Ms Phua opined, "ITMA has a large exhibitor base of machinery manufacturers and hence it presents a rare opportunity for fibre and yarn producers to work alongside textile machinery partners at ITMA during live demonstrations. We believe that this synergistic collaboration will benefit buyers from around the world."
Owned by CEMATEX, ITMA is the world's largest textile and garment technology showcase held since 1951. The last ITMA exhibition was held in Barcelona, Spain, in 2011. It featured 1,355 exhibitors from 45 countries, visitorship of 100,067 from 140 countries and some 50 delegations from 27 countries.

I was not raised with God. In fact, there was no mention of God in my life for the first 30 or so years and religion and church were only used in negative terms.
It wasn't until after I had my son, that I started to contemplate signs that maybe there was something beyond my knowledge, something that I should be looking for.
It was like someone was knocking on my door saying "I know you're not ready to let me in right now. That's ok, I'll be patient. But every once and awhile, I will knock just so you know I'm still here."
It wasn't until I was in the midst of a stressful divorce that I began to open that door. At first I would just talk through the door, looking through the peephole. Soon, I would leave the chain lock on, but crack open the door.
It didn't happen overnight and it was something I had to actively work on, but today I am happy to say that I have a personal relationship with my Higher Power.
I happen to use the word God because I am comfortable with it, but it doesn't matter what anyone calls it. It's not a word – it can't really be contained in a word. I would describe it more as a knowing, a connection.
So How is My Life Different Today?
The most amazing aspect of letting God into my life has been knowing that God has by back. I am never alone – someone is always looking out for me, sending me signals about which way to go.
It's kind of like having faith in a GPS system. I can't look at all of the directions while I am driving, but I have faith that it knows what it is doing and all I have to focus on is the next "command" – turn left in 600 ft or keep right at fork.
Having this faith gives me tremendous power. When I am nervous about the next step, I just picture God right there beside me and I know that he has my back and that I am in his grace.
Because of this I can turn those feelings of fear and nervousness into excitement. The physical sensations of fear and excitement are the same – it is all in how you look at it. With God by my side there is no real reason to be afraid.
What Else Has Having God in My Life Done for Me?
It has lifted the weight of the world from my shoulders. The world is no longer going to fall apart if I am not on top of each and every detail going on in my life. It is all going to work out the way that God intended anyway – so why stress on it?
God is much better at handling my problems than I am anyway. That doesn't mean I just give up and veg out. It means I pay attention and listen for what my next step should be – what is under my control and do that next best thing but not worry about the next 10 or 20 steps – only one at a time.
God has taught me love and compassion for all human beings. By praying only for peace and grace for the people in my life (even the most difficult ones) I truly learn how to want the best for them – how to have compassion and how to hope for their release from whatever pain they are in.
Twenty, ten, or even three years ago, I could never have imagined the impact of God in my life. I have never felt so supported and loved as I do now that I know God has my back.
I'm glad I took the chain off the door and stepped into a whole new world.

Last week's Supreme Court decision in Kelo v. City of New London, which effectively eviscerated the "public use" requirement of the Takings Clause, illustrates a broader tendency among the six overtly non-originalist Justices who dominate the Court: Consistent with their own policy preferences, these Justices will ignore or dilute express rights (e.g., right to keep and bear arms) that the Constitution actually confers and will invent rights (e.g., abortion) that it does not confer.
Michael Kinsley's column on Kelo provides an amusing illustration how the Left would literally rewrite the Constitution. In asserting that Kelo "was about the requirement that any government taking must have a 'public purpose,'" Kinsley evidently thinks (or wants his readers to think) that the text of the Takings Clause has a "public purpose" requirement, rather than a "public use" requirement.
Other examples of language that the Left pretends that the Constitution itself embodies include, of course, the "separation of church and state" and a generalized "right of privacy," the contours of which judges must divine. Ruth Bader Ginsburg even pretends that the Constitution's preamble contemplates that it is judges, rather than "We the People of the United States, whose task it is to "form a more perfect Union."

Some commented so long never see my bento updates
i'm drowning in guiltiness !!!
At the same time, i would also prepared a light bento (mostly snack) :
- just as "add-on" should the school meal is too light or;
- serve as an "option" should the food on that particular day is rejected by their taste bud or;
- serve as "tummy-filler" during the 30-45mins after school
(with the traffic congestion during dismissal time, plus extra time spent searching for the boys who would run around & the journey travelling back home, my mom said it could easily takes this long to reach home before the lunch is serve) By then, it could already be 2pm or later.
I'm fine if the bento came back intact but they finished the canteen food. But it was not so in my little Scot's case!! My heart really broke into pieces when again & again i came home to receive the same news. Sometimes i would rather he be not so frank....sigh!!! Kakak has been assigned the critical task of checking their lunch box first thing upon reaching home. Anyway, his big brother Sean would there to protest should he hears any lies from his little brother!!
" Neh Scot lar, he said he is full so he push his plate of food to me " and Sean whalloped them at times, slaphead!!
I felt extremely bad with what Scot has been enduring, i wonder if the food by the canteen COOK was really that SUCKS !! I wonder if Scot was not feeling easy with the adjustments he has to endure!! See the poor fella is getting more & more skinny as compare to that MEATY Sean !!!
I need not have to tell who has rounder face, do I??
Anyway, with the restrictions faced in the current situation, i don't have many choices in the selection of food for the boys' bento!! Anything too cheesy, too milky would not be tolerable. Anything is to be consumed fresh is totally out. Time endurance is an important factor. That maybe why my bento also sucks in taste lately.....
To combat his recent problem, during bedtime, i would even threaten them & began telling 'liar stories' on how his stomach would be visited by all the worms & insects if there are no nutrients, and how his stomach would started to break if there are no food for it to work which leads to gastric and such....LOL LOL, terrible liar mom !!!
Anyhow, as a mother, i can only try, try & try again....giving him a simple bento to encourage Scot to eat. I'm going to show a whole list of the simple bento for the boys & you tell me if they r really such dampening to the appetite !!??
Btw, i bought these 2 TOMICA lunch boxes recently from NST's booth at Desa park city Waterfront....that was a lovely place to stay man ....!!
Sweet French toast, gummy sweets, almond chocolate & baby mandarin orange!!
The above green box was obviously for SCOT as i've purposely slipped in 2 bbq driedmeat sandwiches for him with loads of other tummy fillers!!
Unlike the below blue box which was meant for SEAN, i didn't gave him the sandwich as i knew he eats canteen food, just some 'extras' !!!
more snacks here
sausage, kiwis, fried fillet & car shaped rice
yoghurt drink, grapes, fried fillet & macademia nuts
At one point, i felt so unmotivated until i had to resort to making SUPER MINI SANDWICHES like the below.....it was only a triangle sushi mould (now....am sure u know how small it is)
Even, yummillicious cakes like the below also were not appreciated. A customer bought them to our office last Thursday & each of us had 3 pieces. I only dare to take a bite of each, can die if i eat them all. So i cute them into smaller pieces for the boys but also untouched. They were only whacked after their piano & drama _ speech class which ended at 9:15 on Friday night. The class started at 7:30 pm, a time their stomachs said too early for dinner so they went to the class empty stomach too (as they ate their lunch quite late)
That's THE END of the snack bentos for the boys !!!
I'm sorry if i had already blurred your vision with the bento marathon above!!
But i'm not about to finish yet. As i really dunno when i would have time & energy to post these if i don't skali do it now.....continue posting more bentos photos for you to drool.....
I'm way far out from calling myself a bentoist as i don't follow the rules at all.
No recipes, no instructions .....no tutorials!!
All i mind was to make FUN with bento then post them up here (lest there are ppl who appreciate them)
Again, these are ADULTS BENTO (not for my kids, ok!!!)
Easy peasy LYCHEE Fried rice with "Ah Pek" & "Ah Moi" (fishballs & taufu skin) sitting on a pool of ladies fingers
Yam rice with sweet & sour meat ball, some filamen sticks & flower egg sheets!!
Some macademia nuts (thks unc.Bob for this) & raisins as appetizer!!
Sweet potatoe rice, weiners with brocollis!!
a buffalo wings & some curry potatoes on a pool of stir fried cabbage!!
Bitterguard chickens to go with the moulded rice
I was clearly seen clearing off my DENBU (the pinkish thingy on the pooh cheeks)
Hope i've contributed some ideas there.....
Happy Bentoing !!!

What To Research In Transportation Design Colleges To Grow to be A Automotive Designer
Technical Literacy includes having command of a fancy and specific vocabulary. Lots of the symptoms, methods, elements, and causes; instruments and strategies; diagnostic routines and inspection procedures, are described by words which are ambiguous or unique to their function or application. Having a working knowledge of related acronyms, synonyms, and commerce identify vocabulary is an essential employability talent. When Hachigo took the helm final June, he inheriting a company from Ito that was reeling from a sequence of blows. That would appear more relevant than whether you might be being screwed lower than employees in other nations. Helpful expertise for automotive technicians would be working in an automotive workshop. Perbury Engineering was for a few years the hub of the fountain of ideas. Yet nobody liked to admit that a stand-alone engineer knew extra in regards to the transmission than anybody else. It was as if he did not exist. Boffins at Leyland believed they knew everything and seemed down their noses at 'clowns' working in workshops in deepest Oxfordshire.
It's like one is indoctrinated, abused, tortured and compelled to be less than human, and the habits ensuing from such mistreatment, these find yourself being heaped upon and blamed on the apartheidized is why the national dialogue amongst races has grow to be the Tower of Babel and beamed and highlighted by the Media. Everybody, of those racist crews, has a voice to their recalcitrancy and desires to not change; and the very individuals who count on such life of enslaving others, count on their victims to shut up and bear their slave standing, at the moment.

text: How to Tell if Your Ducts Need to be Cleaned Posted February 9, 2017 Typically, air ducts need to be cleaned every three to five years according to the National Air Duct Cleaners Association. Dependent on a lot of factors—like your home's location, how many pets you have, and how regularly your air filter has been swapped out, to name a handful—you may adjust your air duct cleaning more or less frequently. So, how can you know for sure when it's time to have your ducts cleaned? There are certainly some revealing signs when it's time. Look for these clues: Are your cold air returns covered with dust or pet hair? Is there an obstruction within your cold air return vent? Are your registers blowing out dust? When you gaze inside with a flashlight, can you see a collection of debris or pet fur? Have insects or rodents made a home in your ductwork? Can you hear noise other than your blower motor when you listen to the airflow? When your vents are fully opened, do any have not as much airflow than others? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it's most likely time to ask Garoken Energy Co. Inc. in Beaverton about air duct cleaning. Prolonging Time Between Air Duct Cleaning There are a few things you can do to help keep your ducts cleaner and prolong the amount of time between expert cleanings. Above all, setup annual HVAC maintenance with the experts at Garoken Energy Co. Inc.. A service of your furnace each fall and your AC each spring, which should comprise of inspection, and possible replacement, of your air filter, will help keep your HVAC system functioning efficiently, and should help keep your ducts clean. You can also talk to the team at Garoken Energy Co. Inc. about installing an air purification system.

DEVO Concert Photo Essay
This is a photo essay regarding the Devo concert I attended at the Buffalo Town Ballroom in Mid-July of 2010. I have been long time fans of the band as long as I can remember. The opportunity to see this band was really exciting. I went to the show with my good friend Bennett and also my former girlfriend Kira. We started the trip listening to Devo albums to get us in the mood and also to familiarize ourselves with thier new 2010 release "Something For Everybody". This album is Devo's first release since the early 90s, so it is pretty exciting for Devo followers.
Before I show the pictures from the show I will give a little background on the band. Devo is a New Wave/Synth Pop band that came out of Akron Ohio. They released thier first album in 1978 and in my opinion was a very groundbreaking album. They then released albums each year from the late 70s to the mid 80s that all had great songs and the classic Devo sound that I came to love. The bands creative spark burned out after their 1980 masterpiece "Freedom of Choice". Since that album the band would release some good singles here and there but they would never reach the height of their early albums. 2010 marks a huge year for Devo because of its new album which was far better than anything they released since the early 80s. The album had classic Devo sound with new production values that makes a very interesting album. The concert I went to was to promote this album but the band made sure to play all thier classics. I have been to many concerts but this one is by far the most enjoyable.
This is a picture of the audience at the concert. The Ballroom was a really great venue because we were so close to the band. I am in the front row with my friends. Despite some drunk people in the audience everyone was having a great time and it was much more interactive than sitting in a seat far away from the band. We were literally two feet away from the band.
Here is another picture that shows the entire venue. There was the mosh section that I was in and then there was the seating section in the back. I was very happy with how close we got to the band and the audio was not too loud either so it worked out great.
Here is a good picture I took showing the band in their classic yellow jump suites. At this point they were playing there older material which I enjoyed the most. Since Devo is so well known for thier outfits it was only fitting that the band showcased every era through the costumes. After Devo played this set they ripped off thier yellow suites and threw them into the audience only to show the next outfit they were wearing.
Here is Mark Mothersbaugh who is the lead singer. He was a great show man and really brought excitement to the event. It's amazing that he is in his sixties and still has the energy to perform like this.
This is a projector that they had playing on throughout the show. This particular video is the Devo Corporate anthem. They played this as they were getting prepared for the next set.
This is Mark again in the "Booji Boy" costume from early era Devo. It was amazing to watch him play this character as if it was the early 80s again.
I consider myself very fortunate that I was able to recover the pic that Bob 1, the main guitarist, used during the show. It is framed on my wall with my ticket and a copy of a Devo album. Yes I am a nerd. The bouncy ball was just one of many that Marc threw out to the audience from his fanny pack.
This is a professional picture taken by a photographer that shows in more detail the stage setup. I was fortunate enough to be able to see the band in this quality live.
This is my last picture I managed to recover. This is showing Mark, Gerald Casale, and Bob 1 who have been with the band since the beginning. It was amazing to see all these guys play their songs so convincingly. It didn't even matter that these guys are old dudes, they still rocked. All things considered this was the most entertaining concert I have ever been to and was worth the admission price.

Review on Dornoch Castle Hotel
Dornoch Castle Hotel hit the headlines in 2000 when Madonna got married here, and it's also renowned as a wedding venue for those with a lower public profile. It occupies the shell of an historic Tudor castle (complete with an original stone tower), and stands directly opposite Dornoch's twelfth-century cathedral.
The purpose-built Garden Restaurant overlooks the beautifully nurtured walled garden, and it is done out in a mix of Scottish baronial and contemporary style. Menus bring together Scottish and European themes, witness starters of carpaccio of salmon and scallops or confit duck and chestnut ravioli drizzled with warm plum sauce. Mains take up the baton, with anything from braised oxtail with parsnip and vanilla purée to seared fillet of hake with cherry tomato and coriander relish. To finish, try sticky toffee pudding or honey and whisky crème brûlée.

Why exactly is Paul Revere revered? Was the lightbulb really Thomas Edison's bright idea?
* Best-selling author Leland Gregory employs his masterful wit to expose historical myths, faux "facts," strange events, and tales of human stupidity throughout history.
If it would shock you to learn that Benjamin Franklin didn't discover electricity, you'll appreciate this take on hundreds of historical legends and debacles. Historians and humorists alike may be surprised to learn that:
* Samuel Prescott made the famous horseback ride into Concord, not Paul Revere.
* As a member of Parliament, Isaac Newton spoke only once. He asked for an open window.
* On April 24, 1898, Spain declared war on the U.S., thus starting the Spanish-American War. The U.S. declared war the very next day, but not wanting to be outdone, had the date on the declaration changed from April 25 to April 21.
With these and many other stories, leading humorist Leland Gregory once again highlights both the strange and the funny side of humankind.


text: If you think that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the only leader in the world to promote Yoga, then you are possibly wrong. Well, PM Modi now has a partner to take Yoga to new heights. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has now planned to start the fitness regime himself. Lukashenko said this to Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan who is leading an Indian parliamentary goodwill delegation to Belarus. Lukashenko said that half of Belarus' population is into Yoga. Sharing his thoughts on the relations between the two countries, President Lukashenko said Yoga has become a rage in Belarus. As per the statement of Lok Sabha Secretariat, Lukashenko mentioned that he had informed PM Narendra Modi, on the sidelines of SCO meeting in Qindao, that half of Belarus' population has taken up Yoga and that he himself was planning to start Yoga exercises. Meanwhile, Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan has said that she derives mental strength from Yoga and it helps her handle works of the Lower House. At the international Yoga festival in New Delhi, Mahajan said that there is a need to spread Yoga across the country for a healthy and better future. Mahajan added that the world has come to realise the importance of Yoga and it has emerged as a symbol of healthy lifestyle. There is a need to take Yoga to all the corners of the country, Sumitra Mahajan said while addressing Yoga trainers, students and practitioners from different parts of country and abroad. PM Narendra Modi, an avid follower of Yoga, did Yoga exercises despite rains for at least 15 minutes in Lucknow in 2017. Modi had said yoga was a path to attain wellness and was akin to a free life insurance. The Prime Minister underlined that yoga in life was as important as salt in food. "Salt not just makes food tasty but also adds nourishment value to it. It is cheap and is used in very small quantity but none can deny its significance", PM Modi had said at the International Yoga Day event last year.

Author- Bella Forest
Pages- 156
Rating- 3 out of 5
Companion/Sequel- First in a series
Goodreads Synopsis- On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday, she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake.
She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally forbidden to shine.
An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in chains.
Sofia's life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.
Will she succeed? ...or is she destined to the same fate that all other girls have met at the hands of the Novaks?
What I Loved
1) I loved the fact that this was such a quick read. I was able to finish it in half a day.
2) I really enjoyed the duo perspective throughout this story. Reading from both Sophias and Dereks point of view definitely gives you a better understanding for the characters.
3) The idea of this taking place on an island is definitely intriguing.
4) Derek. I'm very interested in him.
What I Didn't Love
1) Character wise, they definitely felt to underdeveloped. However, with this story being so short, it's definitely to be expected.
2) The relationship between Sophia and Derek felt way to rushed. It was definitely insta-love. The feelings that Derek felt for Sophia did seem a bit obsessive.
3) Throughout this whole story, you know that this girl is kidnapped, but yet it seems as if she doesn't seem to care. I mean, yes she does try to escape, but afterwards she falls for Derek. It just seems like she doesn't care anymore. I know it has to do with her feelings for Derek, but I just feel as though she needs to keep in mind that she has been KIDNAPPED!!
Overall I enjoyed this story but I'm really not sure if I want to continue on with story anytime soon. I am interested to see what happens but I have a lot more stories that I'm interested in getting to than the rest of this series.

Bruce Hare is a passionate man. "No-one can say I've not done my best," he said, his voice quivering as he unveiled the final vision of his dream to turn the old Royal High School into a world-class luxury hotel.
Appropriately, the location for revealing the new designs was the modern extension to the Victorian National Museum of Scotland, a much-loved building further adapted by award-winning architect Gareth Hoskins who has given shape to Hare's dream.
The boss of Duddingston House Properties, the company which won the city council's competition to transform the school, Hare looks intently at Hoskins' images of the £75m project he hopes will become reality.
His voice reduces almost to a whisper: "We were told to come up with a plan to save a building which has lain empty for 47 years without using public money and no-one can say we've not done that."
He feigns a lack of knowledge about the last-minute rival bid from St Mary's Music school to take it over, but then with more than a hint of exasperation says: "Where have they been for the last five or six years? Nobody came up to me and said 'Bruce, what about a music school?'"
It's not surprising he's angry. His company won the council competition fair and square, have unquestionably done everything to make an extremely difficult site work, but right at the death after the first designs for the hotel were revealed, up popped a well-funded alternative from nowhere.
Whether that concentrated minds or not, there is no question that Hare and Hoskins have listened to the concerns about the first impressions, taken on board some serious advice and produced a significantly different and improved scheme. The accommodation wings have been totally redesigned so as to frame, not overpower, Thomas Hamilton's original Georgian school buildings. The historic frontage has now been left virtually untouched.
The stepped and terraced wings are undoubtedly modern, but in seeking to echo the natural contours and colours of both Calton Hill and Salisbury Crags, Hoskins has produced a skilfully sensitive blend with the setting. The drum design facing Old St Andrews House will attract the most criticism, but as a statement which at the same time doesn't destroy its surroundings, it's a stunning achievement.
Hoskins took particular care in producing impressions of the new buildings at dusk, claiming the computer generated image of the lighting is an accurate representation of how it will look. If it works as he says it will be a triumph, but of course we'll never know unless it's built.
Few here would deny that Calton Hill and the old school is a world-class location, and in the world of architecture there is no debate that Gareth Hoskins is a world-class talent.
And the company chosen to run the hotel, Rosewood, is an emerging global luxury brand in a business where luxury is a much over-used and devalued term, often applied to anything above four-star as operators try to woo customers with a bob or two to spend.
But there is nothing four-star about Hollywood-based Rosewood and its customers have more than the odd spare shilling. Its London property in the heart of the City at Holborn is a lavish conversion of the Edwardian Pearl Assurance headquarters and in Manhattan its refined art deco Carlyle Hotel has played host to presidents and royalty. And Woody Allen's jazz band.
Its Hotel de Crillon in Paris, once an 18th-century mansion and currently closed for renovation, looks out on the Place de la Concorde at the foot of the Champs Elysee.
But all this will mean nothing if the city council rejects Hoskins's revised plans for what is possibly Edinburgh's most difficult available site. The drawings have been lodged and the decision is expected in December once planning officials have drawn up their recommendations.
If permission is granted, Hare expects the hotel to open for business in March 2018, if not he certainly expects the competition to be re-opened. If, as some might have come to presume, the hotel is rejected and the council simply asks the St Mary's Music School team to bring forward its proposal, a legal battle is almost inevitable.
The councillors on the planning committee cannot pass judgement in favour of a rival project and must base their ruling only on the plan in front of them. Having met the requirements of the contest, it is now a question of whether Hare's proposal is acceptable or not.
Some councillors will be implacably opposed, but having listened to the debates on the new St James Centre Hare has a fair chance of success because there is a mood amongst prominent councillors for creating momentum and sending a strong message that Edinburgh is a place to do business.
Edinburgh does not have an operator like Rosewood and apart from a handful who come at Festival time or for the odd round of golf it doesn't pull in enough high net-worth individuals who can make a real difference to big investment decisions.
Bruce Hare and Rosewood president Radha Arora, who flew over from California, made a compelling case for drawing in those kind of people.
"Edinburgh is an authentic destination for our clients and they spend a lot of money. Edinburgh will be coming to life as part of a group of global destinations and I'm super excited," said Arora.
While the decision cannot be based on the operator's clientele – and Rosewood would not be considering Edinburgh just because of the Royal High – nevertheless timing is crucial to the scheme and its options are actually quite limited.
The St James Ribbon/Walnut Whip/Mole doesn't look like it would fit with Rosewood's portfolio. Donaldson's School might appear ideal, but there is another plan for that and the size of the conversion means it probably wouldn't stack up financially. And it's not city centre.
So lose the site and the chances are Rosewood will look elsewhere. After all, they have 14 other sites under development on top of the 18 they currently run.
On the face of it, the safe thing will be to reject the scheme and let the council's lawyers deal with the consequences. But will that be the right thing to do?
The new Hoskins plan is not the cultural vandalism its detractors will inevitably claim and the question will be whether councillors have enough stomach left to say yes.
THOSE demanding the switch of the Festival Fireworks to a Friday or a Saturday have either got short memories or should be careful what they wish for.
When the event was last staged on a Saturday it was blighted by drunken aggression. Rutting young males squaring up to each other and people throwing up in the gutter amidst the broken glass was wrecking what had always been a happy occasion. Nor was it an image Edinburgh wished visitors to take with them back across the world.
It's fair enough for people to want to take their children to see the fireworks, but those same people would not take their little ones down Lothian Road at 2am, which is what the Saturday display began to resemble.
Then there is the practical consideration that it brings down the curtain on the International Festival so it needs to be at, well, the end of the Festival.
So for it to be on a Friday or Saturday would mean either ending the Festival in the middle of the Bank Holiday weekend or extending it to the end of the following week after the Fringe had finished. That's after the two have only just been brought together after years out of sync.
Where I have sympathy is staging of the display on a Monday night. It just didn't feel right.
Sundays worked well before and I don't think there would be much of a problem in a return with a tweak to the schedule. The official opening could switch back a day to a Thursday, the full programme would start on the first Friday and the final shows could wrap up at 9pm on the last Sunday.
New MP Tommy Sheppard, the comedy impresario, has suggested moving the Festival season forward another week to match up with the Scottish school holidays and in principle he has a point.
But the logistics of moving everything would mean pushing events like the Jazz Festival back into July when Scottish people traditionally try to get away before the English school break pushes up holiday prices.
As is often the case with complex arrangements, trying to solve one problem just creates others.
The team behind the plans to convert Donaldson's School into 200 homes are confident they will not face the same intensity of opposition as faced the Craighouse and Edinburgh Accies plans.
And maybe unveiling the plans for a crescent of 84 flats around the Playfair landmark in the same week as the revised Royal High School scheme was revealed means conservation attention will be elsewhere.
The front of Cala Homes' curved terrace behind the old building looks not too dissimilar to the much-derided Banana Flats in Leith (which I actually quite like) so I'm not so sure they will get off as lightly as its advisers hope even though local concern is so far said to be minimal.
Like Edinburgh Accies, opposition will rest on the attitude of people living nearby, on Magdala Crescent and Wester Coates Gardens, but the developers do have some advantages, however.
Firstly, it has never been regarded as a public park in the same way as the Craighouse grounds and secondly the back might overlook the Water of Leith but not any houses.
There will be those who will mount the same arguments as at Craighouse – that there should be an alternative development which doesn't need any new buildings, and look at all the hotel operators falling over themselves to come here – but the result is likely to be similar.
The sale of the site to fund the new deaf school in Linlithgow just as the property market crashed nearly broke Cala Homes and while the listed building regulations must be met, it is a purely commercial project whether the anti-development lobby likes it or not. All the community use, not-for-profit, all-affordable arguments used in the trenches of previous planning wrangles will founder.
But like the original Craighouse plan and the first Royal High hotel images, the designs revealed this week are a first pass and a considerable amount of revision might be needed before it gets through the planning process.

This week's interesthing sharing is quite different from what we normally do.
We've shared about mock case study for our clients. Yes! not the real one. This week's sharing is more of an exercise for us to practice and learn on casing our works.
In fact, this allowed us to expand our imagination and realize that creating case studies is exciting, especially when we see what we've done and achieved for our clients.
So here you go…
***Disclaimer: remember, the following case studies are only made-up works; they're done for training purposes only.***
Wen Li and Edison shared about Gene Martino, a sedondon Malay family clothing brand.
Then followed by Max & Ivan who shared their campaign ideas for Community at Heart, a non profit charity organization helping the poor communities, orphans and abused women.

DKA: there is a proposal called
W3C outpost thought up by DKA
... and Robin Berjon
<DKA> Harry: Jeff would like to get approval for some proposals of opening up W3c at next TPAc (in November).
<DKA> Harry: To be discussed at www2010.
<DKA> http://www.w3.org/2010/03/outposts-proposal-snapshot.html
<DKA> That is the outposts proposal.
<DKA> Most of the work done by Robin, to be clear.
DKA: How can W3C help these
... efforts like OMB, Salmon Protocol, how can we help these efforts
... pose the question that way, as opposed to why these efforts aren't happening at W3C
... which is different than saying what's the problem, W3C is the answer
... the point of this proposal
... is for the W3C to provide tools and basic templates
... high quality tools like issue tracking, actions, IRC channels, stuff like trackbot
... and provide this as a kind of package with minimal staff impact
... provide some kind of IPR for efforts
... often the intention is to release it royalty-free, but there's issues with understanding tricky legal issues re copyright, open source
... so W3C could provide these tools and processes
... so that fledgling efforts could use them
... with minimal effort, like making the XG process even easier
... so we don't even have W3C members at all.
... just one W3C member as a suggestor, not even a sponsor
... the Outpost proposal is to see how W3C proposal could help these efforts around
... so we had this discussion at the AC meeting.
... so we had another discussion about how W3C standards can be fed to ISO groups
... and so make them "real" standards in the very formal sense of the word
... as W3C standards are actually recommendations
... so the point is at least 2 individuals from 2 different companies
... can then make a roadmap between that kind of work and ISO standardization
... in helping to bridge that gap.
<DKA> Harry: any questions?
<melvster> good idea
<MacTed> definitely good idea
<yoshiaki> good idea
<pchampin> good idea indeed
Community Group?
<DKA> Harry: 2 points - good idea, I worry about the name "outposts" - sounds like w3c colonising... rather than helping people.
ah, an embassy in another realm
DKA: to be the opposite of
... it should have a different identity
... different website
... to prevent developers etc. from being alienated
... including academic sheen
... the point of the name is to sound cool
MacTed: We need a better
... W3C standards aren't really standards, they're Recommendations
... origins were in trying to unify and stop failure of interoperability
... the browser wars
<DKA> MacTed: I think that's more likely to happen with a better communications effort. As you say, W3C standards aren't really standards. Their origins were in efforts to aid interoperability.
<DKA> MacTed: as things have been evolving, they are shifting towards forward thinking... that's a different thing?
<DKA> Harry: how could the suggestion be advertised differently?
<DKA> MacTed: Opening processes is definitely useful. Don't know about "outposts" as a brand. Most of the summary sounds likes a win.
W3C Frontier?
<DKA> MacTed: ...but in the same space, creating a new space doesn't necessarily changes the perception about w3c. If there are perceptions against w3c then let's change that. Maybe "W3C Frontier" would make more sense?
<DKA> Harry: idea makes sense to me. I don't like the word "frontier" either.
<DKA> (I like "frontier" as well... :) )
<DKA> Harry: I had a conversation with Facebook. Asked them - why are you using things like google groups - maybe google isn't a neutral 3rd party? The response I got: we would be happy to use a w3c list but [too difficult].
<DKA> Harry: another point made by fb - the login. If you use a google group, most people have a google account so easy to log in...
<DKA> [low friction]
<pchampin> I agree
ah I see!
<pchampin> variant: I have one google account, and people keep inviting me to google docs on another address, which I do not want to register in my google account
<DKA> MacTed: I have 2 google accounts - it's very difficult to manage that in that situation...
<DKA> openID....
<pchampin> but I agree: this makes it easier for many people
<pchampin> foaf+ssl ?
<melvster> yes to both :)
<DKA> MacTed: different issues in different places... If the pain they're trying to solve is - having an account in w3c space - you've got to have some kind of account if there's going to be moderation...
add easy comments via a webform.
<DKA> Harry: Google groups also uses a blog-like interface where you can add comments very easily...
<DKA> MacTed: That's an interface issue - we could do the same ...
<rreck> im not sure its that appealing
<DKA> Harry: any other comments on outposts or on opening up w3c?
<DKA> Harry: Other comments...
<rreck> if i have to ask someone if they know what w3c is, and they answer 'no' there is little point in explaining
perceived formality of many things?
<DKA> MacTed: One offputting thing about w3c is the perceived formality - the perceived formal process which can be very offputting if you don't know what it is.
<DKA> Harry: one of the other issues that has been made. Are people familiar with the w3c member submission process?
Public Submissions process?
Which takes submissions from the general public
<DKA> Harry: If you make a spec - you can submit it to w3c as a member submission but only if you are a member. Another idea is a "public submission process" which takes submissions from the general public.
a separate index and formatting from actual member submissions and Rec-track work
get a Team comment
<DKA> Harry: would allow people who already developed something to submit...
<DKA> Harry: as the web has grown so exponentially it's difficult for Tim [or anyone else} to know what's going on everywhere. So this is one way to allow suggestions from all over...
<DKA> MacTed: That seems like a reinvention of rfc...
is basically patent policy
<DKA> Harry: it is, but with a difference - difference between ietf and w3c is patent policy.
<rreck> honestly, IMHO, this sounds more like a hammer looking for a nail than a nail that needs a hammer
<DKA> "W3C: Bringing hammers and nails together since 1992"
<rreck> heh
levels of membership?
<DKA> MacTed: perhaps there's a question of levels of membership.
no, besides invited experts
precisely, and jeff himself is interested in this space now
DKA: Let's revisit the reasons
we're interested in.
... we need to be really careful about saying that the answer must be W3C
... so whether or not these assets that W3C brings to the table
... can make these benefits available to fledgling efforts who think
... they may not need the level of W3C process in collaboration
... but notice if they don't IP
<rreck> i agree
DKA: that's why I think a new
website, a brand, will make a real difference.
... the benefit will only be realized if there is a new staff role is an evangelist type role
... that gets into these community
<rreck> amen!
DKA: that is aware and
participates of these community efforts
... and that brings the benefits and tools to these efforts
... rather than say we're w3c, look at our great stuff w3c.
<DKA> Harry: some of these efforts like activity streams or portable contacts would say "we're not in the wild- we already have uptake" but at the same point, they might need to start thinking about IP issues...
<DKA> Harry: some of these social web efforts are fairly mature though the big problem of distributed mature social networks is far from solved...
DKA by suggestion do you basically kinda mean liason?
<DKA> Harry: W3C doesn't have liaisons with web 2.0 social stuff...
<rreck> sounds like it
<DKA> MacTed: I'm becoming less clear on what the goal is... W3C has these great tools and we want to make them available... But we actually want to use them to lure you in... and there is only dues-paying membership...
<DKA> Harry: Big benefit of w3c is the royalty-free patent policy. Meta-level goal is to make sure that these standards are open and royalty-free.
<melvster> +1
<DKA> +1 on patent policy being a key benefit
<DKA> Harry: that's why w3c has to be a member organization.
<DKA> Harry: you have to have members who have companies who have patents but a lot of the creativity comes from the community groups...
<rreck> this doesnt sounds like a great idea to me
DKA: free membership hasn't been
taken off the table
... there is an argument that it would bring funding into the organization
... although others worry it may take away the funding
... if there was a free category you'd have more agreement
<DKA> Harry: you could imagine some slightly re-jigged invited expert status... Invited experts should not work for companies who have parents in that area...
<rreck> without funding there is more work with less money
<DKA> MacTed: I'm not saying that's not true but by that fact it kind of derails this other effort. You have to be able to declare patent-free whatever your contributions are. In order to do that you have to be working for an entity that will declare it for you or declare you free. There are legal costs...
<DKA> Harry: the conflict only exists when you work for a company that may have patents in that area...
there's provisional patents as well :)
<DKA> MacTed: There's all kind of aspects - employment contract law, patent law, etc... Does lend weight to "there has to be a degree of corporate involvement and therefore dues to support that" but that leads us back to where we are today...
<rreck> harry is breaking up
DKA: pushback from people in the
... people who are not really exposed to community driven spec development
... questioning from folks who had just never heard of the idea
... I don't want to be mean, but I think we can discount that.
... since it wasn't grounded in the reality we're trying to address here
... so overall feedback is good
... so there's a level of education we'll have to do to the Advisory Committee
... otherwise we'll get a lot of pushback from the ac-list
<DKA> Harry: we could at least endorse modulo name changes the w3c outposts proposal...
DKA: not clear.
<DKA> MacTed: I couldn't endorse it in it's current state. The goals it's trying to achieve are not clear and how it means to achieve them are not clear.
<rreck> what i heard today made me all sad. that is my best summation
rreck: from a business-side it's
unclear if we can get more resources to supplement more
... so we don't want to degrade participation in what W3C has.
<DKA> Harry: the outposts proposal would involve extra resources. The [risk we are trying to mitigate
<DKA> ...] is that "open standards" aren't really open. If they don't have a [proven
<DKA> ...] patent policy then there could be a problem for businesses who are trying to deploy these standards in the future.
I do agree we are techies talking to techies, but then we often have a good grasp of what's going on in the field :)
<DKA> MacTed: We are talking about techies talking to techies - bunch of random guys out there working for somebody who may not have a claim on what they're doing. What we want to have happen is.
<DKA> ... for somebody say "I agree I am not going to charge royalties"...

by Gail Rodgers
Kelly used to be burdened by fear and negative thinking. God had helped her overcome that stronghold in her life and she had been walking in newfound hope and joy. She was learning to trust God with each fear that surfaced in her heart and mind.
Yet recently she recognized some of the old patterns creeping in. She found herself with an anxiousness she could not shake. That old feeling of fear was trying to put it's stranglehold on her heart.
God is so gracious to us as we learn to trust Him. He understands that we are feeble and He sends help. His Word is a strong weapon for us as we seek to maintain the freedom we have found in our lives through trusting Jesus.
If you are struggling today with old patterns that threaten to drag you down take God's Word to heart. He tells us what to do and He also tells us how to do it.
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1)
What to do
Recognize and acknowledge what is happening in your heart and mind. Determine to stand firm in God's ways. You have been freed from the old patterns of fear or whatever drags you down. Declare that you will not be burdened again by this slavery.
"...be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2b)
How to do it
Allow your thinking to be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Ask for the very concrete help He has promised in His Word.

There are many patients who are turning to cosmetic procedures to treat those unsightly acne scars. If you want smoother, clearer skin that looks healthy and vibrant, then laser acne scar removal may be for you.
You can use cortisone creams if your scarring is swollen or red to calm the skin and reduce inflammation. You can then lighten the appearance of the hyperpigmentation of scars by using skin lighteners.
Using glycolic or salicylic acid treatments can also reduce the appearance of scarring. Salicylic and glycolic acids are found in numerous skincare products such as scrubs and creams. They can help exfoliate the skin to bring the hyperpigmentation to the surface.
While these remedies can often reduce the look of scarring, unfortunately, none of these over-the-counter solutions can repair the indentations caused by acne, nor will they actually get rid of acne scars. However, there are several options available that can help alleviate the appearance of these scars including laser and filler treatments.
Skin resurfacing is a laser acne-scar removal method that helps to smooth the surface of the skin. In addition, these treatments will increase collagen production that will help smooth out acne scars. Non-ablative lasers will stimulate collagen production without further damage to the skin's surface. On the other hand, ablative lasers will actually vaporize the scar, which will allow new, smoother skin to replace the scars.
Filler injections can also help fill the indentations of acne scars.These fillers will need to be reapplied about every four to six months, because they reabsorb into the skin.
Microdermabrasion or chemical peels can be used if you find that the over-the-counter solutions are not working. Chemical peels will eliminate the top layer of skin using a concentrated acidic solution to reveal new layers of skin. Microdermabrasion will have similar results through the exfoliation of the skin through the buffing away of the dead skin layer.
Another revolutionary procedure being used for acne scars is fat grafting. This is a relatively simple procedure that produces often long lasting results. During this procedure, your own body's fat will be taken from areas such as abdomen or thighs using advanced liposuction techniques that use micro-cannulas. The fat is then processed and injected into the treatment area. The result is a plumper, firmer appearance, which is the desired result for the eradication of acne scars.
At Skin & Vein Center, we have several procedures and techniques that can help reduce the appearance of acne scars. For more information about how to get rid of acne scars the right way, give us a call today! We'll show precisely how our laser scar removal services can help you!

Reasons to scrap your car

If you have a car that is unusable you need to either declare it off road or scrap it, otherwise your will continue to need to pay road tax on the vehicle.
The car scrappage scheme
The car and van scrappage scheme may seem like a great idea at first. However, you will be limited to what you can buy. You can't go out and purchase any car you wish. People a lot of the time are finding that the car they wanted they can't have, due to the fact that they are not in the car scrappage scheme.

NYSL Promotions on Philanthropy and Millennials
We at NYSL Promotions know that a key aspect to a company's overall success is giving back. Engaging millennials in the workplace can be a great way to start. An overall dedication to philanthropy will boost employee satisfaction, enhance your company's vision, and promote a favorable image.
•Employee Satisfaction: Loyal employees form the backbone of sturdy business. Job-related satisfaction is linked with an individual's ability to give back and feel like he or she is making an impact. Asking millennials what issues are important to them is a good launching point. This group will often stand for certain causes that are important to them over a specific charity.
•Vision: When forming a solid brand, you need a vision. This is often paired with a strong pledge to stand for a cause. Many times the cause that a team chooses to stand with strongly aligns with the services they offer.
•Favorable Image: In forming any marketing initiative, NYSL Promotions' leadership focuses on upbeat facets of a company that will instantly catch the eye of a consumer. Charitable work and efforts will lend a helping hand to your image as a whole.
Our associates at NYSL Promotions want your company to thrive. We want you to feel like you are doing a lot of good for those in your reach, and coming from a place of good intentions is important. Combining it with a wisely planned marketing initiative will equal success.
