| Business Opportuntities
Thank you for contacting us about our exciting Patty-Cakes Consultant Business opportunities. Unfortunately, due to legal restrictions in certain states, Patty-Cakes® is currently unable to establish new Consultants in the following areas: North Carolina, Maine, Minnesota and South Dakota. Other areas may be affected by territorial restrictions from previously established Franchises. Please contact us for specific details in your particular area.
The Patty-Cakes® Story
Patty-Cakes® are the original idea of Mrs. Irene Theis of Denver, Colorado. In the late 1940's, Mrs. Theis association with the Denver University Nursery led her to conceive the idea of creating small hand prints of her nursery children to give as gifts to their mothers. This simple idea of making prints resulted in an enjoyable hobby and ultimately, became a successful nationwide business.
After 41 years of doing Patty-Cakes®, Mrs. Theis sold her organization, the Home Office moved to Montgomery, Alabama and was renamed Patty-Cakes® International, Inc. Although the business of Patty-Cakes® has grown tremendously over the last 60 years, the original idea for giving Patty-Cakes® has remained very simple. Mothers and Fathers everywhere still enjoy the pride and happiness found in their children's Patty-Cakes®. That continues to be our motivation for the entire Patty-Cakes® organization. We are happy that you are considering joining us in the ever-growing Patty-Cakes® family. Whether you want to earn additional income or start a full-time career, Patty-Cakes® International, Inc. is anxious to serve you.
A simple idea over 65 years ago by one creative woman now provides numerous opportunities today for others to create their own success. Your success can be realized through a Patty-Cakes® Keepsake Consultant Business. You can work from home in your spare-time or full-time.
It's fun and exciting.... and best of all.... PROFITABLE FOR YOU!
The Process
The manufacturing process we use to make Patty-Cakes® is a developed skill that is very similar to the original process Mrs. Theis developed in 1946. As a Consultant licensee, you will accomplish the first four steps in the Patty-Cakes® 35 step process. We then take the natural impression castings you send us and put them through an additional 31 steps that result in a finished antique bronzed product of superb quality. Every step of the process is done by hand and we carefully inspect the finished product at every turn. Our unique process usually takes about 6-8 weeks to complete. We are very proud that Patty-Cakes® has an outstanding reputation of high quality and superior workmanship. We remain committed to maintaining our high standards and we know when your customer holds the bronzed hand of their child, you'll appreciate it too!
What to expect as a Patty-Cakes® Keepsake Consultant

Most Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
Q. What qualifications does Patty-Cakes® International, Inc. look for in screening applicants?
A. Patty-Cakes® International, Inc. reviews all applicants to determine the existence of specific factors that we have found to be essential to a business owner's success - outside sales experience, work history, general business experience, financial liquidity, education and the individual's personal experience. We ask that all interested parties complete our simple Keepsake Consultant License Application so we can gain insight into their personal and professional background. This application process does not obligate you to purchase anything.
Q. How profitable can I be as a Patty-Cakes®
Keepsake Consultant?
Q. Will I have a protected territory?
A. In the past, Patty-Cakes® International, Inc. sold only exclusive territories through a network of Franchises and Business Dealers. However, we have found the growing interest in this type of product can easily sustain several Consultants in any given area. So, while we do still offer Franchise opportunities with protected territories, we feel that consultants can do just as well, and with a much smaller investment. If you are interested in a Franchise opportunity, please call us and we'll go over the details of our Franchise Agreements. At the present time, there are many areas of the country where there are currently no Consultants offering our keepsake products. In that case, you'll have a chance to be the "first on the block" offering these timeless keepsakes. Don't hesitate to get started building your business now! PLEASE NOTE: Patty-Cakes® Franchisees operate in some parts of the country and have "exclusive" rights to their area. If you operate near one of these protected areas, you may have some limitations placed on where you may take customer orders. Patty-Cakes® is not legally able to operate in some states. For details about any given area, please ask us specifically.
Q. How much does a Patty-Cakes® Business Opportunity cost?
A. Current Patty-Cakes® Keepsake Consultant business opportunities are $499 - and that includes your Starter Kit of equipment! Additional equipment or supplies can be purchased separately that allow you to design your own starter kit.
Q. Is there an additional Royalty Fee to operate my Patty-Cakes® Business Opportunity?
A. No! As with most business opportunities, by law, Patty-Cakes® does not allow you to use our Patty-Cakes® trademark as your business name. But, for example, you can call your business "Katie's Keepsakes" - An Independent Patty-Cakes® Consultant and that would be just fine. You just can't use our name in your business name. If you did that, it would be considered a franchise. Not only would we have to charge you more for the business up-front, you'd also be required to pay a monthly royalty fee to maintain your business.
Q. What is the next step in become a Patty-Cakes® Keepsake Consultant?
A. Just contact us via e-mail or phone and request an application. Let us know that you've reviewed this information and would like to get more details. You'll be under absolutely no obligation to purchase! In return, we'll send you information on how you can become the newest member of the Patty-Cakes® keepsake family!

Today we had a class on army radio communication. Easy stuff. After that, we had our first real road march. This one was 3 kilometers. We walked by a graduation of BCT. I saw parents, girlfriends, families, people my age in normal clothes, etc. It made me realize more that I miss all of you.
The march was easy. We had some weight on us, but still, no biggie. Later, we practiced on our rifles. It was overwhelming yesterday to learn all the moves. I thought it would take me forever, but I'm becoming very good at it. I can do the 7 count weapons inspection check with no problem.
Tomorrow's gonna suck. It will be the funnest day so far because there is an obstacle course, but guess what? I have kitchen police. That means I work in the kitchen all day either washing dishes, cleaning up, or directing chow traffic. Two people from every platoon have to do it everyday. Just my luck. I'm hoping that I'll get off for the obstacle course since we're getting bag lunches, which were already made tonight.
I'm hoping the D.S. does mail call later. Maybe you all actually remember me.

London - For the communities and youth workers facing the daily horror of gang violence on England's streets, Prime Minister David Cameron's vow to tackle the problem following last week's riots is long overdue.Cameron has declared "all-out war" on gangs, which he blamed for fuelling four nights of frenzied looting and said they were "a major criminal disease that has infected streets and estates across our country".He has hired US "supercop" Bill Bratton to advise on tackling street gangs and has rolled out the use of court injunctions to stop gangs wearing colours of allegiance, congregating in certain places and using dangerous dogs as weapons.Cameron also admitted that "social problems that have been festering for decades have exploded in our faces", and vowed to redouble efforts to tackle broken families, welfare dependence and educational failure.But to those living and working with the problem, many question why it has taken so long for the government to notice - during which time gangs are getting more and more violent, and their members younger and younger.Sheldon Thomas, an ex-gang member who runs a mentoring programme in London, supports Cameron's assertion that British society is "broken".Materialism"People like me have been saying this for decades," he said, adding: "People are angry, people are frustrated. There are no jobs, there is no aspiration."He also accused Cameron of only acting on gangs now because shocking images of youths rampaging through relatively wealthy areas of London last week caused a national outcry, when successive governments failed to respond in the same way to up to 800 gang-related murders in the past decade."Are we now a nation that values materialism - businesses and shops - more than the life of a 14-year-old kid who was chased down a road by several gang members who stabbed him 17 times for his BlackBerry?" he asked angrily.Youth worker Patrick Regan, who has been advising Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg on the recent violence, agrees that the government has failed to address the issue, although he is more hopeful that ministers can help."People have been warning for years that something like this could happen. I'm hoping there will be a long-term view of things, that we won't paper over the cracks," he said.Regan, the chief executive of youth charity XLP, cautioned however against any simplistic definition of gangs, and also warned that it was unlikely that organised criminal groups were entirely responsible for last week's riots.Gang members stayed home"It wasn't all young people, and some were just purely opportunistic. Young people who just got wrapped up in it, crowd dynamics took over," he said.He said he had spoken to his local authority who reported that known gang members had actually stayed home during the riots, "because they knew if they went out they'd get targeted by police".One of the main pieces of research on British gangs, a 2009 report by the respected Centre for Social Justice think tank, found that 170 gangs operated in London, although Thomas puts the number at 260, with 15 000 individual members.Another 170 operate in the Scottish city of Glasgow, where police and local authorities claim to have cut violent offending among gang members by almost 50% in two years through a targeted community initiative.Community workers are calling for more resources for proven mentoring and intervention schemes, and the US supercop, Bratton, warned this weekend that a police crackdown alone would not solve Britain's gang problems."You can't just arrest your way out of the problem. It's going to require a lot of intervention and prevention strategies and techniques," he said.Substitute familiesAlthough in the past gangs used to be defined by ethnicity, most are now about territory - the Pembury Boys take their name from the Pembury housing estate in Hackney, east London, for example - and they often control drugs within that.Although they range from criminal organisations to groups of disaffected teenagers, a recent government report found that people join them for protection, a sense of belonging and status as well as a way of making money.Gavin McKenna, aged 21, was in a gang in Newham in east London before he turned his life around. Although he carried a knife and robbed people, he said he and his friends weren't an organised group, "we were just trying to survive".He grew up with an abusive father who left when he was young, had little money and his gang represented both a way of earning cash and a substitute family - a story that is played out over and over among Britain's gang members.McKenna says he has little faith in the government's new drive against gangs."I think they're going to patch it over, like they always do," he said, adding: "They don't care about us."
Yes right Cameron, The US's fight against gangs of course lead you to the conclusion that you will be able to handle the situation did it?? what make you think that after you and your cronies have spent the last 40 years selling out the indigenous people of Britain that you have any more chance of controlling gangs than anywhere else in the world
Well Guliani cleaned out New York City. In the 80s it was a dangerous hellhole, now it's a great, cosmopolitan place for metrosexuals. It can be done.
Is London in Africa???
You did OBE geography - right?
"People like me have been saying this for decades," he said, adding: "People are angry, people are frustrated. There are no jobs, there is no aspiration."
People are "angry", so it's ok to destroy other peoples' property and ruin other peoples' jobs and lives. Maybe these punks should consider themselves lucky they don't live in Somalia or Afghanistan where they'd either be starving to death or be shot to pieces.
It seems that 2 out of 6 people have marked my comment down. So 33% of NEWS24 readers advocate the use of violence against innocent people as a way of venting legitimate or illegitimate frustrations. Wonderful. SA is really screwed.
""There are people here with nothing," this rioter continued: nothing, that is, except an education that has cost $80,000, a roof over their head, clothes on their back and shoes on their feet, food in their stomachs, a cellphone, a flat-screen TV, a refrigerator, an electric stove, heating and lighting, hot and cold running water, a guaranteed income, free medical care, and all of the same for any of the children that they might care to propagate"
WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424053111903918104576504033881168802.html
Dead right. If these slimeballs actually had to work for a living they wouldn't have the time to loot and steal.
Mr. Cameron, you don't have guts to battle gangs. A bigger feather will not do it.

Marelli, S., Gandolfi, S., and Capobianco, M., "Heat Transfer Effect on Performance Map of a Turbocharger Turbine for Automotive Application," SAE Technical Paper 2017-01-1036, 2017, https://doi.org/10.4271/2017-01-1036.
In the last few years, the effect of diabatic test conditions on compressor performance maps has been widely investigated leading some Authors to propose different correction models. The aim of the paper is to investigate the effect of heat transfer phenomena on the experimental definition of turbocharger maps, focusing on turbine performance.An experimental investigation on a small turbocharger for automotive application has been carried out and presented. The study focused onto the effects of internal heat transfer on turbine thermomechanical efficiency.The experimental campaign was developed considering the effect of different heat transfer state by varying turbine inlet temperature, oil and coolant temperature and compressor inlet pressure.An original model previously developed by the Authors is adopted for the correction of compressor steady flow maps. The major benefit of this method is represented by the easiness of data post-processing, the data base economy, the reduced number of geometrical and physical input parameters required and the accuracy of the solution. Besides, this model does not need an out-of-standard test bench to obtain the compressor maps.The corrected compressor results were then used to evaluate turbine thermomechanical efficiency, generally assessed on the basis of compressor power absorption.

This building was originally errected as one house in the 17th Century. Records show it was a double fronted shop around 1885 but was later returned to a private house again with a porticoed entrance, like Bank House next door, and bay windows either side. In the 1920's it became the two shops as shown in the photograph. On the left, at No. 67, is William Adams' drapers shop and on the right, at No. 65, is the smaller grocers, F. Podd. These two shops remained in the respective families until in 1959 the premises were sold to Kingstons, the chain of butchers, and the shop was converted again into single shop with a modern front. In 2003, as the supermarkets gained the upper hand in meat sales, the shop was converted into the hairdressers that we see today.

Do you do all you can to avoid the camera lens? If so, don't stress! Here we give you an expert's guide to looking picture-perfect…
Celebrities walking the red carpet make posing for pictures look effortless. Hand on hip, one leg forward, sultry pout… perfect! But for us mere mortals, looking good in photographs is not that simple.
Let's be honest, how many of us are actually ever pleased with how we look? Looking fat, blinking, having a goofy grin, squinting, wrinkles… our anxiety list can be endless.
And the boom in popularity of social media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn – hasn't helped either, as friends, family and work colleagues tag us in on their pictures for everyone to see. So what are the tricks to looking good?
Look natural
'Most people who aren't used to having their picture taken will freeze up as soon as the camera is out, so make sure you're doing something,' says Jon Enoch, a professional photographer whose past subjects have included Alicia Keys and Heston Blumenthal. 'People are very aware of what they're doing with their hands in photographs. So if you have something to hold – such as a pen, a mug or a book – it makes a very good starting point.'
Get a flattering angle
To reduce the double-chin effect in your pics, ask the person taking the photograph to take it from slightly above.
'This way the camera will be looking down a little on you, and all faces are better from this angle,' explains Jon. 'If it's convenient, another tip is to hold a piece of white card just out of shot – around the upper chest area. This will reflect light into your eyes and below the chin, cutting out unflattering shadows.'
Take lots of snaps
Blinking is natural and inevitable, and the only way to avoid it is to take lots of pictures – fortunately, in today's age of digital cameras we can simply delete the pictures we don't like.
Avoid bright sunlight
'A common misconception is that we need a bright, sunny day for good photography,' says Jon. 'But this is in fact the worst light to shoot in. Harsh sunlight will cause people to screw up their faces and narrow their eyes. It will also cast shadows under the eyes and chin. An overcast day is best for outdoor shots.'
Get the right lighting
If shooting indoors during the day, turn the flash off and stand next to the biggest window you can find. The light falling through the window will be lovely and soft, and far more flattering in tone than the harsh light of the camera flash.
Turn to the side
A golden rule in photography is that rather than face square on to the camera, it's always more flattering to turn a little to one side. 'This will narrow the body shape,' explains Jon. By simply angling one shoulder slightly towards the camera you'll achieve a more relaxed, slimmer image.
It may sound obvious but remember to breathe. If you're concentrating too hard on the photograph it can make you appear tense and unnatural.
Perfect your posture
Standing up straight will make you look more elegant. Try not to relax your shoulders too much or slouch, as this will give you a double chin and can also make your stomach look bigger. 'If you're sitting, sit forward on the edge of the seat as if you're leaning in to chat to someone,' advises Jon. 'Most seats will swallow you up if you sit back in them.'
Say cheese
A fixed grin can look more like a grimace. A good tip is to look away from the camera then take up a new pose just before the picture's taken – making it look spontaneous. For a close-up, try closing your eyes until just before the shot is taken. Opening them at the last minute means your eyes will appear brighter and fresher.

text: I don't know if this topic has ever been discussed but here goes I tend to be extremly clumsy at times, I have a B&W subwoofer and I'm constantly banging my knee on the corner of it when I walk past it. Once I cut my finger with a knife when cutting a slice of bread and I managed to spill a bowl of cornflakes on the carpet twice in a week. I once fell of the last step of a staircase and landed smack down on my face. And so on... Are any of you particularly clumsy or is it just me?

Hi Chris!ReplyDelete
Even I feel that writing short stories is much easier, and with so many self publishing companies emerging in the market getting our work published has become easier.
I had started writing a story, perhaps a longer, and yet I have not finished it. Hence, I feel its better to go with writing short stories. At least, we reach the end.

Middy Shot-Gun Pellet Float
Middy's revolutionary Shot-Gun feeder has now been incorporated into a float designed for fishing up-in-the-water.
You simply fill the feeder on the base of the float with some soaked pellets and compress them. This buys you sufficient time to cast the float into the swim before the spring-loaded mechanism forces the pellets out of the feeder.
They then fall enticingly around your hookbait, drawing the fish to the exact spot where you need them to be to catch consistently. Medium and large sizes are available.
Price: £3.99 each

Due to the fact that the Smart ForTwo is quite old, Mercedes-Benz is now working with Renault on a replacement for the popular two-seater. According to our sources, the all-new Smart ForTwo and the successor to the Renault Twingo will share the same platform. The new Smart ForTwo will arrive in 2014 and the Renault Twingo replacement will arrive in the same period.
Regarding the current version of the ForTwo Electric, this vehicle will be upgraded in 2012 and according to Autonews it will receive an improved interior but also a new set of lithium ion batteries made by Deutsche Accumotive GmbH, a joint venture between Daimler and Evonik Industries.
Mercedes-Benz has big plans for its sub-brand and it is also planning a new four-seater based on the new ForTwo platform that could go on sale in 2015. The car is expected to have a rear-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive. Currently, sales of Smart brand in the United States have fallen by 76 percent.
According to statistics, only 5,927 units were delivered in 2010… a significant drop if we take a look back in 2008 when Smart delivered 24,622 vehicles.
As a result, Daimler decided to relaunch the brand in the Unites States and announced that it will spend $35 million on a new marketing campaign! Still, the customers need to see a new lineup in order to see things moving…
The latest version of the Smart Fortwo will have an exterior offered with a wider range of colors. While the previous version only had six colors, the new model will have seven colors. The seventh color is the matt light green although the blue metallic will now be replaced with the light blue metallic color. All colors selected however will have a trendy matt finish. In addition to the colors, customers can also request to have the rear apron, front spoiler, and side skirts, to come in the same color as that of the exterior. The company expects that in the near future, it will be offering the option as well to have the fuel filler cap in body color. Aside from being innovative, this two-seater is not only more stunning than ever but it is also more environment-friendly.
Smart brand Managing Director Marc Langenbrinck shares that the brand is guaranteeing its models to be better and to be even more desirable in all aspects. This is why the new Smart Fortwo is apt for today as it not only has style but is attractive as well, he adds. The new Smart Fortwo, he continues, makes use of high quality materials, puts extra attention to details, improved comfort and enhanced its functionality.
Langenbrinck adds that since its customers generally look for alternatives and think out of the box, the new model offers a wide range of engines with the ability to be customized to suit their needs. It was in the autumn of 2011 when customers first saw the new Smart Fortwo with an engine that is more environment-friendly, a new look for the interior, and an exterior that has been upgraded.
As mentioned earlier, there are now seven colors offered for its exterior and all will come with a trendy matt finish. The new Smart Fortwo is powered by new petrol engines and refined with the option to equip it with either the 45-kW unit or the 52-kW version, though both have CO2 emissions not exceeding 100 g/km. For this latest generation, the brand will be offering a limited edition version that includes high-class equipment. Going back to customization, the brand is offering for the tridion safety cells the option of having it in white. Meanwhile the cabrio soft top can be in either blue or red. Offering more customization options are the alloy wheels and the daytime driving lights with LED. While the interior does have a new design, the use of new fabrics and colors give it an atmosphere with a high-quality feel. As expected, the entertainment and communication systems all have advanced technology.

I did a post not long ago about Wedding Dos and Don'ts which while slightly silly is full of genuine advice from an overused wedding guest. Today I'm going to continue in a similar vain but focusing on one, momentous, wonderful and important part of the day. The dress. The one you've imagined in your head for years, the one that will cost more then your first car, the one that's supposed to make your mum cry and husband think "I'm marrying the most beautiful woman in the world". No pressure then hey?
Dresses are all about opinion, it totally depends on the type of wedding you're having and your personal style. Saying that, there are a few cardinal dress sins I'm going to highlight, they may sound obvious but you would be shocked by the amount of times I've seen these!
- Check your knickers (Think CYK)
You really do not want VPL on your wedding day, they may not say it but everyone will notice it. There will also that moment of drawing comprehension when you look at the photos. Just don't do it. If you're dress is tight or loose and silky you're in the high risk category so for goodness sake buy a thong and wear a slip.
- Match your face to your body
You've got your dress sorted, shoes bought and even a necklace is on it's way. So what are you gonna do with your hair and makeup? "Oh well so and so is training to be a make up artist so they're gonna come vied and help out". NO. You're makeup and hairstyle should take as much thought if not more than your dress, and remember, it has to work with your dress. Don't have a vintage lace dress with a modern colour block make up look for example. Go to a makeup counter and get them to try different looks, take photos of each one, go home and think about it and look at it with your dress. Then you can buy the products and get your makeup artist friend to do it, but only then!
- Choose the right colour
So you haven't ever worn white before, suddenly you are planning on spending your wedding day dressed head to toe in it. If you don't already wear white there's a good chance it's because it doesn't suit you. In that case why not try another wedding appropriate colour like cream or pale gold? If you're unsure as to your skin tone then you can visit our website and read all about it. Or if you would like, book a consultancy day with us. Just email email@example.com.
-Don't wear a jacket/stole/cardigan
I understand that saying that to brides most likely getting married in cold England may seem a little unfair but I beg you, plan your day so you're not outside enough to need any sort of cover up. For the simple reason that they literally never look good, they only detract from the dress. Plus, how much warmer do they really make you? A silk dress in England is a bit of a lost cause with or without a faux fur capelet no?
- Do trust your instincts
Try not to be overwhelmed by the vast choice and array of styles in a dress shop. It can be so easy to loose sight of your natural style and the way you love to dress. Go with what you know and love and stay within your own safe hands.
* I make no apology for the gratuitous wedding dress photos. They-are-just-so-BEAUTIFUL.

Down 4.5 Pounds This Week
I am remarkably upbeat and feel pretty good given the progress I've had this week. Obviously the progress I am happy with but typically a lot of progress like this would have me dragging ass and feeling pretty much beaten up and I don't feel that way ... right now. In fact, other than feeling occasionally hungry during my workouts (which I never get hungry during my workouts) I have had no issues with hunger.
I am using a new fat burner that I have never used before and have been against in the past due to it being abused and dangerous. Basically, I do not play. I have been dosing it low and it has been quite easy to manage and a pretty good asset as far as progress so far. I have run it for 1 week and will run it another week for a total of 14 days.
I will not detail much more here as far as diet changes while using it and that sort of thing but I will detail every single thing in the TRTbodybuilding DVD including supplemental support, diet changes, dosing, etc.. As most of you know I am a bit cryptic sometimes with my logs because I feel that if you do not know of, or aren't aware of a compound, I am not going to be the one to introduce it to you. I will not answer questions as to what supplement or compounds I use so if you don't know what I am referring to, that's the way it will have to stay.
I can say that I have dropped all cardio while using this fat burner and increased calories roughly 300. That is approximately a 600 calorie disparity (600 more calories than usual) and I have dropped 4.5 pounds in a week. I am running hot but nothing uncomfortable and nothing that concerns me, at all. I do, however, feel run down while training. I am very flat, quite fatigued and have lost strength which were all expected.
I have also not Skiploaded last weekend and will not load this weekend. I will stop the fat burner next Wednesday and then load the following Sunday quite a bit to fill out as much as possible again before going back to my regular cardio regimen and switching the diet back to what it was prior to starting the fat burner.
I am currently 17 weeks out this weekend and roughly 218 in body weight. The visual change has been far more than the change in scale weight and I am very pleased with my progress to this point. Will it continue at this rate? Probably not but it has been a very good start to this prep and I can't help but think that my body is just happy to be back in prep mode after almost 5 years.
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Coach Roflgator: "Your job [as coach] is to be the voice of reason, and to make those six players play to their max potential."
A team without a leader is not a team. Robert Roflgator Malecki is coach for North America Overwatch team Fnatic. I had the pleasure of talking with him about what it means to be coach, his history in gaming, and his thoughts on the Korean scene.
How goes today, Robert? Hopefully you all dodged that snowstorm that passed through the midwest recently?
Today is going well, the weather here has actually gone up to the 50's, which is pretty amazing considering we've been in the low 20's the last couple of weeks
Jumping straight into things, what is your history with coaching? Do you come from traditional sports, business management, etc.?
In most games I've played like LoL, WoW arena, and classic FPS games, I've always been a shot caller and leader in whatever I was doing. In every game I would pick up incredibly talented players and use my problem solving skills to help them get along and learn strategies to maximize their potential . When this game came out, I decided to try coaching. At first it was really weird because I was used to being in the game instead of a spectator. It took practice to actually be a really effective force.
Your track record is already quite good in Overwatch. Coaching the original IDDQD Team as well as Rogue for a time. How did your time at Fnatic start and how are you enjoying yourself so far?
Well, when I was invited to IDDQD, it was a learning process, imagine trying to coach a team who literally spawn camps every other team. I think the only thing I contributed was teaching Harry how to taxi dead people back to the point as Lucio, and creating minimaps with our location names. Fnatic I met by being bored and wanting to spectate teams after splitting with rogue. They're a great group of guys. When I'm at events with them we never stop laughing and the current roster all get along super well.
Most, if not all of the Fnatic players have silly nicknames for each other. Do you have one?
My nickname is "Slim". It all started in a long taxi drive, we were bored and Matt started giving all of us nicknames. Most of them literally have nothing to do with the person at all and were just for laughs.
Fnatic is participating in OGN's APEX Season 2. How are the boys settling into Korea?
They're doing okay, it can be really stressful being in a very foreign place for a long period of time. They go to some questionable restaurants there that have made them sick more than once instead of taking my advice and going grocery shopping. Nothing funny that can be really appropriate to share unfortunately!
I've heard that Vonethil is quite the in game leader. What sets him apart from his peers? Is he your quintessential "leader" or is he like a "micro manager"?
Vonethil was 95% of the calls at one point of our team. However, in Korea meta, the players do a lot of flanks and unpredictable things that require you to have to make individual calls and adjustments on the fly that Vonethil can't do alone. Lately we have changed a ton and kind of hit the "reset" button on everything. He still has a ton of responsibilities, but they are definitely more divided among the other players. What separates him from others is that he is not afraid to make risky calls, and he keeps everything in account (ultimates, team comps, etc.).
You spoke to the aggression of Korea in a recent Reddit thread. How has this changed the how the players view the game, if at all?
Well, a few of our players want to implement a similar playstyle. They want that Genji-Winston nonstop dive playstyle that's so popular in a lot of top Korean teams. I personally try to make our own comps that fit our playstyle, but we have been experimenting with everything.
In my most recent interview, Manetens echoed the point that Korea is quickly growing and improving. Is there any team or any player in particular that has surprised you?
What has surprised me the most is that we can scrim a team who is not even top 10 in Korea, and they punish every mistake we make and take maps off us if we're not on top of our game.
In the most recent Oversight, MonteCristo mentions that Overwatch's strategies will evolve into a "playbook" model, very similar to American Football. Do you agree, what are your thoughts?
Yes and no. There are already pre-decided plays in many top teams, the difference between this game and football is that you don't always know where the defenders are. In NA this was actually how we played and it worked really well for us. In Korea there are too many on the fly adjustments that need to be made, and team fights do not always end quickly. Teams have always had 'playbook plays' since beta, but it will never be American Football style because half of the decisions have to be made on the fly.
Staying on that subject, Monte gave you the accolade as one of the more organized and disciplined teams in the scene. How much do you attribute this to Fnatic's success?
It has helped tremendously, we did a lot of research before every game, and we are really good strategists. A lot of people give me props for our map draft versus Ninja's in Pyjamas (NiP) in dreamhack in particular. I don't think they noticed that we just picked maps that allowed us to have high ground and abuse their 4 tank comp. It was our strongest point, that we are trying to re-accomplish with our new playstyle.
It's always nice to talk with a coach or an analyst because they have varying opinions on the meta and what is and is not viable. Would you rather the meta be more fixed or do you, and the boys, enjoy the creativity of the current state of the game?
I think the meta right now is probably the most versatile it's ever been. Teams are running triple tank, double dps, dive comps, and even sniper comps. I do think that CP is horrible, and I would fix it by fixing the absolutely horrible contesting mechanic. I think if offense has more players on the point than defense, then the defenders should slow the progress on the cap, but not completely hold it back. The point should take longer to get in order to adjust the gameplay and makes the games not end too soon. This way, a mei can slow down the other team from taking the point, but not completely stop the other team for making progress for so long, it's absolutely ridiculous.
Are there any coaches you look up too for inspiration or advice?
Unfortunately not. I do try to look up some motivational quotes from time to time though.
To all the future coaches of Overwatch, do you have any tips or advice for them?
Make yourself part of the team, not just a support staff. You need to be as important as any player. If your team does not respect you, then you've already failed your job as a coach. Your job is to be the voice of reason, and to make those 6 players play to their max potential. Be vocal. Don't wait till after the match is over to talk, let your team know right away. My team thinks I'm a broken record because of how many times I've said "guys, you forgot to do an ult check before the fight" but repetition is the only way to engrave it into your player's heads
A quick message for the fans and any sponsor plugs?
I'm so sorry to the stream viewers who wish I would start streaming again. My dad [is] terminally ill, and I havn't been able to do much outside of my current jobs. During the day, I am taking care of him, and all night I am doing scrims with the boys who are in Korea. Plugs: I am working on a site where i will be making articles about strategies and tier lists and things to teach people. (http://www.nerfthis.pro ) It will be released very soon (I am not an expert website designer :P) I would also like to thank my sponsors. Monster, http://gg.bet Ballistix, Fnatic Gear, Quersus, MSI, and Twitch.

Performing "The Bloodiest Show on Earth", our Southern Maniacs prove more than ratings killers in what John Landis has called "one of the rare sequels that surpasses the original".

Vitas Gerulaitis, (born July 26, 1954, Brooklyn, N.Y.—died Sept. 18, 1994, Southampton, N.Y.), U.S. tennis player who by means of his court-sweeping speed, precision shots, and dependable forehand, ranked among the top 10 professional tennis players from 1977 to 1982; he won only one Grand Slam event, however, the 1977 Australian Open singles title. The shaggy-haired Gerulaitis was one of the circuit's most visible personalities, and his high-spirited lifestyle ensured that his name remained in the headlines. During his 14-year career he won 27 singles and 9 doubles tournaments. Gerulaitis captured the 1975 Wimbledon doubles championship and the Italian Open twice (1977 and 1979); he reached the finals in the 1979 U.S. Open and 1980 French Open. During the 1980s Gerulaitis admitted that he had been treated for drug abuse, and in 1983 he was implicated but never charged in a cocaine-dealing conspiracy. After his retirement in 1985, Gerulaitis began a career as a sports announcer and later made a comeback as a player on the senior circuit. He was found dead after a faulty propane heater leaked lethal fumes into the heating and air-conditioning system of a friend's home where he was staying.

text: Was God Aware There Was going To Be No Water ? Yes of course God knew in Exodus 17 when the Israelites were going from place to place that there would be no water or no food . But still we see the Israelites still grumbling and complaining to Moses. Does that mean that God leads us to different places in order to see how much we trust Him ? Yes again .The more we go through brings us closer to God and the realization that He is God . I think that God specifically sent the people there to test them , to see if they would turn to God first. God wanted to show the Israleites who He had appointed as their leader and also the fact that He is in control.

Original paper
Reflections of Prehistoric and Medieval human activities in floodplain deposits of the Únanovka Stream, South Moravia, Czech Republic
Petřík, Jan; Petr, Libor; Šabatová, Klára; Doláková, Nela; Lukšíková, Hana; Dohnalová, Alena; Chadimová, Leona; Blaško, David; Milo, Peter
Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, NF Volume 59 Issue 3 (2015), p. 393 - 412
published: Sep 1, 2015
Floodplain sediments of the Únanovka Stream's catchment were investigated utilizing the methods of sedimentology and paleoecology. The development of human settlements in the stream catchment and dating from the Prehistoric through the Medieval, have been compared with floodplain evolution. Paleoecological data were obtained from the pollen record and plant macroremains. Bulk samples of the sediments were analyzed for phosphates, magnetic susceptibility, and grain size; macroremains were dated using the radiocarbon method. Floodplain structure were explored by combination of geophysical methods and drilling. The floodplain base was formed during the beginning of the Neolithic, where a sandy, organic silt layer was formed upon a sandy gravel basement, under a deciduous forest environment. From approximately the late neolithic, when a silty loam sediment started accumulation, direct paleoecological evidence of agriculture has been recorded. Since the beginning of the Middle Ages, the dominant vegetation was of a ruderal character, with Alder. From the High Middle Ages, the processes of accumulation and erosion in the neighboring region accelerated.

Rascal took off his diaper late last night and left it laying on the couch. Thankfully, it wasn't a stinky diaper. I also had to help him clean the butt paste (diaper rash cream) off of his nose. After, I got him cleaned up, he was ready to head off for his nightly visit with Santa Claus. As usual, I didn't hear him sneak back into our house.

Why travel with kids? It can be inconvenient- dragging toys, extra clothes, portable electronics, and a huge supply of Capri-Suns halfway across the country. Not to mention if you have a baby or toddler and you might as well rent a trailer to haul everything you're going to need. Plus, the kids are out of their normal routine, might be missing sleep and are eating on the run. Nerves can get frayed and tantrums blow up, particularly if it's hot and standing in line is involved.

I hope all citizens who value freedom and free enterprise will read this letter.
Our federal government is threatening our freedom to choose the kinds of cars and trucks we can buy. Uncle Sam is proposing automobiles averaging 40 mpg and trucks averaging 30 mpg by 2016.
If this becomes law, we'll lose the option to buy a new full-size pickup or automobile, an SUV, a minivan or a real sports car, regardless of our family size, our business needs or our desires as fun-loving Americans.
Please examine the tiny cars that average Europeans and Asians are driving today. If our government has its way, within six years our choices will be limited to these cramped, less-safe econo-boxes or mundane hybrids.
Big Brother might be happier, but will you?
If this alarms you, please contact your congressmen, telling them that only American consumers and our free-market system -- not the government -- should dictate the kinds of cars and trucks we can buy.

Transfer of 170 surplus teachers to save €10m
UP to 170 second-level teachers will be moved to other schools within a 50km radius under the terms of the Croke Park deal.
The transfer of the teachers will save the Exchequer around €10m a year, as they will fill vacancies in other schools that would otherwise be filled by hiring new teachers or keeping temporary teachers on the payroll.
A Teachers' Union of Ireland (TUI) ballot of members in second-level schools is expected to show a majority of them in favour of the agreement when the results are released tomorrow evening.
Union members have been warned by the Department of Education and Skills that the only alternative to Croke Park is redundancies.
The other second-level union, the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, has already accepted the deal, which involves an extra hour's work per week.
Most of the 170 teachers are employed in traditional voluntary secondary schools where they are above the officially allocated quota of staff.
Teachers become "surplus" to requirements for a number of reasons, such as a drop in pupil enrolments.
The department has refused to release the names of the schools with surplus staff to the Irish Independent under Freedom of Information legislation, but these have been obtained unofficially and show that half a dozen schools have at least six teachers each over the quota.
But while the second-level TUI members are expected to accept the terms of the deal, there is no certainty about the third-level lecturers in the institutes of technology, where a very strong campaign of opposition has been launched.
