I agree that there are places that are more appropriate for those kinds of signs. We had a pro-life group visit our college campus once and i found the pictures disturbing, but it was showing the truth to a demographic likely to have an abortion.
I think that sex education classes would be a great place to introduce the topic, as long as it was the truth and not the whole its only a blob of cells thing.
Where is your source that these photos are of micarried babies instead of aborted ones?
I have always believed that life begins at conception, so abortion to me is murder. I know that others dont' see it that way, but it is how i believe and how I approach it. I however, try to take a more logical approach rather than a brutally graphic one first. I think those pics have their place, but a truck randomly going thru town is not the place for that since there is no control over who may view it. I think that internet sites, special classes and rallies are ok, because then people know to expect it. I'm sorry your child saw it, I hope he/she is ok.

(27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011)
The iconic and legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor passed away today. She was age 79. May she rest in peace.
"I feel very adventurous. There are so many doors to be opened, and I'm not afraid to look behind them." – Elizabeth Taylor
"When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow." – Elizabeth Taylor

One down
I'm so glad I picked up this Uzume sock again. I had been frustrated trying to pick up stitches neatly along the flap of the heel because the yarn is so dark. I decided not to keep trying to do something that wasn't working and instead I opted for a nice short row heel. I got the new heel from my favorite Waterfall sock pattern and added in a bit of eye of partridge for good wear. I've already cast on for the second sock of this pair so I should have a finished object in a few days. Hurray for gifts that are ready to be given.
I've mentioned it before (I think) that I love these really dark Trekking colours. They are darker in real life than in the pictures and they almost look iridescent. A Peacock Feather Shawl would look wonderful in this yarn I imagine.
Right now I'm waiting for my Blue Moon Fiber yarn to arrive so that I can start of my Irtfa'a shawl. Yesterday I got an email from the postal service saying that they are getting ready to ship it. With any luck at all it will arrive before I leave for my very early Christmas trip home. Cross your fingers.

Ireland: retired priest dies in car accident
A retired priest died today when his car was struck by a train at a level crossing near Oranmore in Co Galway. None of the train passengers were injured. The Catholic Communications office of the Irish Bishops Conference said that the priest was Canon Patrick Healy, PE. Canon Healy was a native of Killaspuglanane, Liscannor, Co.Clare. He was born in 1935 and ordained for Galway diocese in 1959. His first appointment was as Curate in Rossaveal, Connemara. In 1960 he was appointed Professor in Our Lady's College, Gort. In October 1979 he was appointed to Lisdoonvarna/Kilshanny. Canon Healey was appointed Parish Priest in Beagh in 1998 and retired in June 2003 because of ill health. He continued to live in the presbytery at Beagh (Shanaglish) after his retirement. Funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.

This Date in Nuggets History: Feb. 14, 1992
Rookie Dikembe Mutombo controls the glass
When it comes to rookie rebounding records, no one in Denver Nuggets history stands taller than Dikembe Mutombo.
The 7-foot-2 Mutombo owns the four highest single-game rebounding marks by a Denver rookie, including a 19-board performance against the Dallas Mavericks on Valentine's Day 1992.
Playing 39 minutes in a 105-85 victory at McNichols Sports Arena, Mutombo also had 18 points and five blocked shots.
Mutombo, the fourth overall pick of the 1991 draft, gave fans an indication of his dominance on the glass when he grabbed at least 13 boards in each of his first five NBA games.
He had 16 rebounds in his debut, and his 22 rebounds on Dec. 26, 1991, still stand as the most in a single game by a Nuggets rookie.

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Posted June 5, 2008 – Forty years ago today, the life of Robert F. "Bobby" Kennedy was cut short by an assassin's bullet.
Kennedy had just finished addressing his supporters in a ballroom at the Los Angeles Ambassador Hotel, after winning the critical California presidential nomination. He then went through a hotel service area to greet some of his supporters, who were working in the kitchen when an assassin shot him in the head. At that moment, he clutched a rosary given to him by a busboy as he bled to death. Kennedy was 42. Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of the murder and remains in the California state prison at Corcoran.
Bobby's brother, President John Kennedy, had been killed less than five years earlier, and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. two months earlier.
Four decades after the two murders, Black Americans are torn between the hope that Barack Obama will reach the White House and the fear that he too could fall to an assassin. In May, Obama was given full Secret Service protection. It was the earliest juncture for any presidential candidate since the practice was first introduced following the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy.
The possibility of Obama having a similar fate is etched deep in the minds of many Black Americans, especially those who remember the events of 1968. However, Obama has a message for those concerned about his safety; "stop worrying," noting that neither King nor Sen. Kennedy had the Secret Service with them.
Do you believe Obama has reason to worry? Click "Discuss Now", on the upper right to post your comment.
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.

text: I've been itching to get my tank up and running and get another octopus, and the only reason anything is on hold, is because I can't figure out how to make my tank level, in a way that won't leave me worrying it's going to collapse. My apartment floor has a downward slope at an angle (the left rear corner is about 15mm higher than the front right corner). I've tried shimming, like this: Although I got nervous when someone told me there was no support in the middle of the stand. The tank wasn't perfectly level anyway, so in order to get it level, I had to do this: There are shims on the right side, they are just pushed in more than the others. This resulted in cracking in the stand! So, I dissembled it, and haven't had it properly running since. I don't seem to be able to use shims, so what are some other options to get the tank safely level? What have folks used in the past?

Dave a huge welcome back to DMCWORLD…where on planet earth are you right now? I'm at home in the rather grey and drizzly rural Easy Midlands of England. Winter is starting to strengthen it's grip How's Ibiza Dan? Jealous, much!
The first piece of music you heard this morning after leaping out of bed? The new Mercury Rev album 'The Light In You'. Beautiful stuff to ease you into the day.
Your most excellent year continues at pace, this time we are all over a release that Armada Music are really excited about too, your 'Beyond Borders : Berlin'…a real underground journey from one of the most important dance music cities in the world. How and when did this project spring into life? King Unique did the first edition of this new compilation series earlier this year and as the outlets to do physical CD compilations have been shrinking, I was straight on the phone to Armada offering my services to do the next one 😉 Mix CDs have been a big part of my career over the last 25 years and it's a tradition I'm keen to continue. Berlin sprang to mind as the obvious choice from which to base the album after I did a couple of gigs there over the summer and I wanted the album to give a flavour of a particular place rather than some generic set that could have come from anywhere. Nearly all of the music was either stuff i played at those gigs or is by producers and artists that are based in the city, so there's a real connection there. (more…)

I was operating at a 'cash only' basis, which I learned here is not a smart way to live. I now have several credit cards plus a low interest car loan, more available credit and less debt. It was because I took the time to read the articles here and make needed changes, so my credit score grew. Learned more here than when in college, and I studied business!

The U.S. government has taken control of two large companies that finance much of the U.S. housing market.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced the takeover of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Sunday. The companies will have more access to government funds, and the chief executives will be replaced.
Paulson did not estimate the final cost of the plan, saying only that the total will depend on the lender's business results in the days ahead. He also did not say how long the takeover would last.
President George Bush issued a statement saying reforming the lenders' business practices is critical to the health of the U.S. financial system.
The government says the takeover is an emergency move to keep the companies from collapsing under billions of dollars in losses from the downturn in the U.S. housing market, and to allow them to keep raising money to finance loans.
Under the takeover plan, the Treasury will buy a starting sum of one billion dollars' worth of stock in each company and more as needed. It will provide short-term funding to the two companies and 12 federal home-loan banks. It will also buy mortgage-backed debt from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on the open market.
The Treasury secretary said Sunday that the two companies are so large and interwoven in the U.S. economy that their failure would cause great turmoil in domestic markets and those around the world.
U.S. Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke strongly endorsed the plan Sunday.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own or guarantee nearly half of the trillions of dollars in housing loans in the United States.
The private companies were chartered by Congress to support the housing market, and therefore were seen as having the backing of the government. That allowed them to borrow funds at favorable rates, even though they are both profit-making entities answerable to shareholders.

Customize maximized windows default
bit of a strange one this.
I have a program called Rocket Dock installed, it replaces the windows task bar with one more like what's on mac and as such I have the task bar on auto hide. Trouble with it, is that when you maximize a open windows it fills the screen edge to edge, where as if the task bar is visible windows stops at the top of the bar. Is there any way to alter the size of windows to say - left 100%, top 100%, right 100%, bottom 95% so it maximizes as normal but the bottom stops short of the screen edge?
|My System Specs
|30 Jul 2010
Welcome to Seven Forums Britman. You want a space at the bottom? Where the taskbar used to be? You mean so RocketDock shows? I believe RD has an always on top setting? Or, you might try setting the taskbar to double height before auto hiding it. If I read your post wrong, please correct my interpretation A Guy

Socio-economic diversity in the Fast Stream: the Bridge report
- From:

- Part of:
- Social mobility and Civil service reform
- Published:

The Bridge Group has written a report on socio-economic diversity in the government's main graduate development programme.

The Cabinet Office commissioned the Bridge Group, in collaboration with the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring at Durham University, to report on socio-economic diversity in the Fast Stream. The Bridge Group is a charitable policy association that promotes social mobility.
The Bridge report is the first of its kind published by any employer in the country, and includes analysis of recruitment data relating to almost 140,000 candidates. It looks at why applicants from lower socio-economic backgrounds are less likely to apply to the Fast Stream, and less likely to succeed if they do apply. It sets out recommendations to address the lack of social mobility across the public and private sectors.

Cincinnati Reds vs. Chicago Cubs MLB Pick-Odds-Prediction - 7/9/14
Chicago Cubs (38-49) at Cincinnati Reds (46-42)
MLB Baseball: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 7:10 pm (Great American Ball Park)
Dallas Beeler (R) (0-1) (0.000) vs. Alfredo Simon (R) (11-3) (2.782)
The Line: Cincinnati Reds -183 / Chicago Cubs +173 --- Over/Under: 8 See the Latest Odds
TV: WGN-America
The Cincinnati Reds and Chicago Cubs finish off their four game set at Great American Ball Park on Wednesday.
It will be interesting to see how Chicago fares following their recent trades which I can understand in some respects as the team was destined to finish last in the National League Central anyway. The Cubs woes continued as they were swept in Tuesday's DH with the night cap being very painful to take. A 6-5 defeat saw a 5-0 lead vanish with starter Tsuyoshi Wada allowing an unearned run in five frames before five straight relievers each gave up a run. Mike Olt and Chris Coghlan each homered and drove in two with Anthony Rizzo going solo. Chicago sends Dallas Beeler to the hill for his second career start at Cincinnati. Beeler was outstanding in his debut with an unearned run given up over six frames in a 3-0 loss to Washington.
USA TODAY Sports
Cincinnati is desperate for a hot streak to get the ship pointed in the right direction and get themselves in the mix in the National League Central. The Reds had everything go their way as they swept the Cubs in Tuesdays doubleheader with game two bring the most exciting. After starter David Holmberg was tagged for all five runs in just 2.2 frames the pen shut the Cubs down and the offense took over. When the smoke had cleared Billy Hamilton and Jay Bruce paced a 12 hit attack with a pair of RBI's. Cincinnati turns to Alfredo Simon for Wednesday's outing versus the Cubs. Simon has been having a career type season with an 11-3 record and 2.78 ERA covering 17 starts where the Reds have gone 14-3.
Cincinnati has fared well in this match up so I feel like riding them once again is the way to go with one of their best on the hill...

Chicken Rolls Recipe
I mentioned my mother in law's chicken rolls in my recent TMI Tag Video on Youtube and thought it'd be a good time to share how to make them. My husband and I decided to pack up the whole family and go visit his family for Christmas last year. I met his father's side of the family and a few people from his mother's which was great. (I just met his parents for the first time AT our wedding last October.)
After a few days of staying with them, I realized why my husband has such ridiculously high standards for food: His mom is a fraking awesome cook. Seriously, every night was amazing food. When we got back home, one of the things we had during the trip because a big request from the kids. She was kind enough to share how to make it. (And now, I can teach you too!)
A Note: This isn't EXACTLY how she made it. I've made it a few times and experimented since our trip to change it up to our own tastes.
- 1 Cup Shredded Chicken Breast Cooked
- 3 Ounces Cream Cheese Plain, Softened
- 1/4 Cup Crushed Walnuts
- 1/3 Cup Crushed Herb Seasoned Croutons
- 1/4 Cup Finely Chopped Mushrooms
- 2 Tbsp butter Softened
- 3 Tbsp butter Melted
- 3/4 tsp Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Chives dried
- 1 Can Crescent Roll Dough
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Cook the Chicken with your preferred method, shred, and set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, mushrooms, lemon pepper seasoning, and chives. Add the shredded chicken and mix well to combine.
- Put the croutons in a sealed plastic baggie and use a rolling pin to crush them into crumbs. Do not use a food processor for this step as the croutons become sticky when done with that method. Add the walnuts to the crouton mixture in a shallow bowl or turn out in a pile on a clean work surface.
- Separate the crescent rolls into 8 triangles. Spoon around two tablespoons of the filling mixture on the wide end of the crescent and roll it up. Fold down the outside pieces to seal it. Dip each roll in melted butter, then immediately roll the top of the crescent in the crumb top.
- Place the rolls on a cookie sheet a few inches apart and bake them until the crescents become golden-brown, usually about 12 minutes.
- These are wonderful plain, but can also be drizzled with chicken gravy. Great sides for them are mashed or baked potatoes, seasoned green beans, or cooked carrots with salt and pepper.

We went on a cruise once 20 years ago - in our early 20s. We would like to try again for our 20th wedding anniversary. We would prefer to leave from the US. The cabin and condition of the ship will be important to us. As is the food. I think we will book a jr or mini suite w/balcony. In the little research I've done Celebrity looks appealing but they don't seem to depart from any US cities. I would love to leave from New Orleans but the ship choices there don't seem to have overwhelming reviews. Any and all suggestions are more than welcome.

House builder Cedar Woods says strong market conditions in Western Australia and Victoria will likely lead to profit growth.
The majority of the company's projects are located in WA and Victoria, where residential property market conditions are strong and backed by solid fundamentals, chairman William Hames told the company's annual general meeting.
"Based on those market conditions continuing, we expect to deliver a net profit after tax for fiscal year 2015 at least in line with last year's record profit result," he said.
Cedar Woods made a profit of $40.3 million in 2013/14, up 11 per cent on the previous financial year.
It has also recently expanded into the Queensland property market with the purchase of a development site at Upper Kedron in Brisbane.

LIMA, June 8 (Reuters) - A dump truck crammed with dozens of school children dropped from a cliff in the Peruvian Andes as it returned from festivities in a highland province, killing 17 people - mostly children - and injuring 54, a local governor said.
The truck belonged to the municipal government of Cahuac, one of several small towns some 160 miles (260 kilometers) northeast of Lima where children had been summoned to take part in a Sunday parade in the provincial capital, said Ruben Alva, governor of the Huanuco region.
Authorities were investigating the crash and the driver, who survived, was being held by police, Alva said.
Deadly road accidents are common in Peru, where enforcement of passenger limits and driver competence is minimal and many rural routes are in poor condition.
The truck was making its way uphill around a curve on a dirt road when it rolled backward and over a cliff, Alva said.
"It dropped into a ravine, falling for about 100 meters," Alva said. "They were close to home, maybe 15 minutes away."
Several schoolchildren, a teacher and parents were among the dead, Alva said.
Poverty rates in the highlands are higher than the national average and many townsfolk pile onto farm and construction vehicles to between towns due to a lack of public transportation.
But Alva said it was not normal for the municipality to use a dump truck to transport locals. (Reporting by Mitra Taj)

Mark Colvin presents PM Monday to Friday from 5:10pm on Radio National and 6:10pm on ABC Local Radio. Join Mark for the latest current affairs, wrapping the major stories of each day.
Thursday 12 March 2009
PM covers a broad spectrum of issues relevant to all sections of Australia's geographically and culturally diverse community. It looks behind political, economic, industrial, business, social, cultural, rural, regional and arts stories. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
The global recession is starting to hit where it hurts - peoples' livelihoods. The unemployment rate has surged to 5.2 per cent, a four year high; full-time jobs growth has collapsed and under-employment is rising.
Thousands of Australian workers have been laid off and today's unemployment figures suggest there is more to come. A sacked worker says he went to work at Western Australian meat processor, Harvey Beef and was made redundant on the spot. A restaurant says he's yet to lay off staff but has cut back on their hours.
The Government and Opposition have crossed swords in Question Time over latest jump in unemployment, while the spectre of Peter Costello continues to hover behind Malcolm Turnbull.
There are fears for tourism and the environment as an oil spill off Qld's Stradbroke Island spreads to the Sunshine Coast.
The oil slick off Stradbroke Island is unquestionably nasty; bad for wildlife and bad for tourism. Ray Lipscombe, formerly a manager at the Australian Maritime Safety Authority, is considered a world expert on oil slicks. He spoke to Mark Colvin.
The French President has made his most symbolic foreign policy gesture yet by announcing France's return to NATO's military command. The move reverses Charles de Gaulle's decision to walk out in protest at what he saw as US domination more than 40 years ago. It doesn't mean France will send more troops to Afghanistan, but full membership of the alliance does have major significance for France and Europe.
A top US intelligence post in the Obama Administration is suddenly vacant because a controversial candidate has decided to pull out. Charles Freeman is a former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia who had been picked to become chairman of the National Intelligence Council. Some criticism of him centred on the hefty funding his think-tank's been getting from Saudi sources -- others said he was too soft on China over Tibet and democracy issues.
Opposition party leaders in Pakistan are hoping that thousands of demonstrators will join a long march to the capital Islamabad. Pakistani police have already arrested hundreds of opposition activists and are warning that they will not tolerate any violence.
People left homeless by the Victorian bushfires have welcomed payments of $50,000 from the bushfire appeal fund, but some think it could be allocated differently, including the insurance industry.
US scientists have developed a new way of manufacturing lithium ion batteries that can be recharged in seconds. They say the new smaller, lighter batteries will make recharging mobile phones and laptops much easier and could dramatically improve the potential of electric cars, where rather than waiting hours for the car battery to recharge, it could take as long as filling the tank with petrol.

In which Austin Hill makes a category error:
So things are looking very good for Mitt Romney, as he seeks the Republican nomination for the presidency. And this means that Americans will likely have to answer an important question in 2012: which would you prefer at the White House -Mormon theology, or Marxist liberation theology?
Well, seeing as how the occupant of the White House is the president, and not the priest, of the united states, the answer to the question doesn't actually matter. While nominal religious beliefs might correlate to political behavior, the more correct, and thus relevant metric is that of past political behavior.*
Of course, Austin Hill won't make this point because doing so will reveal , quite clearly, that there is no appreciable practical difference between Romney and Obama.
* I can't remember where I read it (it might have been Freakonomics or The Myth of the Rational Voter), but there is research that shows that political behaviors and voting patterns remain consistent during a politician's time in office. Consequently, a politician's voting/behavioral record is the best predictor of future behavior.

Yesterday I got home to a package all the way from Cornwall! It was a print from Sue, who has the blog, Studio Window. Sue makes great art and prints, that reflect some of the rich beach and surfing culture in her gorgeous part of the world. Her work is really lovely and I've admired it for a while now.
My package contained a print from a wood engraving that she made (if you scroll back through her blog you can check out the process of her making it, as well as a clearer image of the print).
The next thing I would like is to get one of the bellyboards that she beautifies! Maybe when I'm over that way next...
Thanks you so very much, Sue. I'm stoked!

Hot Tub Chemicals and the Important Role They Play
Hot tub chemicals are an absolute necessity that is required to keep the water in your hot tub clean and well maintained. Sometimes, dealing with the chemicals can be a bit confusing.
You don't need an advanced degree in organic chemistry to be able to properly maintain the quality of your spa. I am going to discuss the various types of hot tub chemicals that are on the market today.
This will hopefully clarify things for you so that you can continue to enjoy your hot tub in a safe, healthy manner.
An Introduction to Sanitizers
Among the various hot tub chemicals that are currently on the market, sanitizers are the most important maintenance you can do for yourself! Why is this true? The answer is simple; sanitizers kill the bacteria that grow in warm water.
The following is a quick rundown on the different types of sanitizers:
You're probably familiar with chlorine as the primary sanitizer used in pools. Chlorine can be used in a different concentration in hot tubs. There are chlorine tablets and chlorine granules created specifically for hot tub use.
Bromine can be added to a hot tub in the form of tablets, nuggets or granules. One form is sodium bromide, which needs to be activated with an oxidizer such as chlorine or Potassium Monopersulfate (non-Chlorine) shock. Another bromine product is BCDMH, which is a self-activating chlorine bromine combination.
Many people choose bromine over chlorine because bromine is an effective sanitizer in hot tubs as it doesn't "gas off" at temperatures higher than 98 degrees and produces fewer odors than chlorine. Bromine works in a wide range of pH levels. Bromine is generally distributed through a floating feeder or cartridge system.
Biguanide sanitizers are non-chlorine, non-bromine product that kills bacteria by attacking the cell wall. The elimination of organics is accomplished with a hydrogen peroxide-based oxidizer used to "burn" off the organic matter and keep the water clear. This system produces fewer odors than chlorine or bromine and does not "gas off" at spa temperatures.
Ozone is an oxidizer and not a sanitizer, but it reduces the work of the sanitizers and lowers the level of sanitizers needed in the spa to keep it clean. The ozone process requires that your hot tub is equipped with a piece of equipment called an "ozonator." Even if you have an ozonator, you will need to supplement your water with a low level of sanitizer like bromine or chlorine (Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, the idea that a hot tub can be thoroughly sanitized with ozone alone is a myth). Ozone is compatible with bromine, chlorine, biguanide and mineral systems.
Mineral Spa Care:
You can use mineral systems to assist, but not entirely replace, your sanitizers in keeping your hot tub clear of contamination. Mineral cartridges are typically placed inside your filter cartridge or are contained in a floating dispenser through which the sanitizing minerals are slowly released into the water over time. Many people prefer to use mineral sanitizers because of the lower levels of chlorine or bromine.
It is very important to test the current levels of your water before you add any hot tub chemicals such as sanitizing agents to your tub. Test strips are easy to use and are formulated to measure the levels of bromine, chlorine, biguanide, as well as mineral content in your hot tub water along with your pH levels and calcium levels. You should add sanitizing agents to your hot tub as indicated by the test strip. The instructions will be provided for you on the container that the sanitizer comes in.
Changing Your Water
In addition to any hot tub chemicals you may need, it is crucial that you change your water approximately every 3 months. This of course depends on how actively you use your hot tub. If the water in your hot tub is old and dirty, there is no amount of chemical additives that can completely protect you. Would you wash your dishes in year-old dishwater? Changing the water in your hot tub is a simple task and your family and guests will be very glad you did!
The following hot tub chemicals are also important to mention, just not as important as the role your sanitizer plays.
Shock oxidizers are a very useful product that oxidizes the water to help get rid of organic matter such as dead skin, skin oils, cosmetics and lotions. This sort of treatment can be done on a weekly basis. This method helps to starve bacteria and prevents cloudy water and a clogged system. Believe me, it's a much better shock than the one you can get from the expense that comes with not using this method. In the long run, it can potentially create bigger maintenance issues for you.
I hope that after reading the above information that you have grasped a better understanding of how important hot tub chemicals are in maintaining your investment as well as ensuring that your tub has a long and gratifying lifespan.

Episode Summary: It turns out that Kyosuke asking Kei out was a ploy on his part as a lead in to ask her if she wanted to star in an amateur film he is making for an upcoming film festival. Hirono and Kyosuke get into an argument over the differences between being a professional and an amateur, ending with Kei interjecting, saying she has not decided if she will choose to be cast in Kyosuke's film or not. Later, Kei informs Miyako in an intense discussion that Miyako will eventually disappear from Hirono's heart (she actually says "I will erase you from his memories"). On Sunday, Kei gets hurt at the basketball match and Hirono stands up Miyako on a date they were supposed to go on to make sure Kei is all right. Meanwhile, Chihiro continues to write her novel and Renji helps her by borrowing a uniform from Shuichi so that they can enter the school's library to research materials for the novel.

Lily Cooper (Allen)
Lily posted snaps of her new (old?!) 'do on her Instagram with the captions 'Back to black' and 'Hairdid'.
It looks like the 28-year-old singer had missed her trademark black bob and blunt fringe and was pleased about getting it back again.
We love Lily with this blunt bob, very Cleopatra! What do you think? Let us know in a comment below.

I often cut my daughter's and my husband's hair in our kitchen. Would you like to write a story about it?
Let's be honest, it doesn't really matter what Katie does, there will always be people out there that don't like what she does or has done
I think she looks great and is a better example to the youngsters now as she is looking beautiful naturally instead of having fake hair,fake tan etc. I disagree that she needs a fringe.
She used to look like she was 25, and now she looks like 50, with that ugly short haircut.
Looks. Fab makes hire look even younger 😃
@Jayprime - what a horrible comment about a lovely deed! She looks lovely and a little girl will be so much more confident because of it!
Shame her high forehead and lack of fringe make it look as though she has a receding hairline!
I really hope that all these ladies are sending their hair to Little Princess Trust, where they make wigs for children with cancer. The wigs cost £360+ to make but they are given to the children free of charge. I sent my hair in January, I cut off 16". Apparently the children don't like the synthetic ones as they scratch the head. The hair has to be at least 7" long, tied at one end/or rubber band.

Wedding planning can be, well… stressful. Between choosing the floral designs, sending out wedding invitations, choosing your first dance song and planning out the seating chart, it can be easy to lose sight of the most important thing – your love for your soon-to-be forever bestie.
Our team has worked with thousands of couples over the years and we've helped ease the craziness of planning by offering various vendor options, such as uplighing, photographers, wedding planning and of course, music… We do this to make it easier for our brides and grooms to plan their big day with less stress.
We're sharing 5 helpful tips you can use to help you enjoy the BIG day!
Be organized: If you're organized from the very beginning, it will allow for a smooth road to your wedding day. For example, if you know you have already paid your photographer, or assigned someone to pay them, you won't be worrying about their invoice at the end of the wedding.
Don't be afraid to delegate: People ask all the time: "How can I help?" Our advice is to take them up on their offers. Ask them to arrange for a deli platter to feed your bridal party while you're getting ready, ask them to give out vendor tips, ask them to make sure the groomsmen have their boutineers. Just know you cannot do it all yourself, nor should you have to. So, take people up on this question and put them to work!
Trust your vendors: You've done your research and paid good money for your event planning, florist and DJ. Now it's time to trust they will show up and give you 110% during your day. If you spend the whole day managing their every move, you will miss your own day!
Have a sense of humor: Just keep in mind, things may go wrong; extra guests may show up, it could rain cats and dogs, the food might be cold. We know this is not what you want, but life happens. A sense of humor through these uncomfortable moments will help you stay positive and set the tone for guests and your wedding party.
Real-life story: Our marketing consultant and NuImage bride, Taylor, was hosting an all weekend camp wedding and on the day of the wedding, the camp chef never showed, due to a hangover (Taylor takes the blame for this due to an epic dance party the night before). Her mother-in-law and her had to make coffee for 120 guests out of two small coffee pots… They laughed their way through it and always think back to how things just don't go as planned, and that is ok!
Surround yourself with positive people: This is a big day, filled with many details and decisions to be made. Your wedding day isn't the time to have negative people around you. Choose people who make you happy, provide positive inspiration and see the glass as half-full!
No matter what happens on your day, remember it's your day! Enjoy it to the fullest!

Here are a few steps that can help you plan your finances in a seamless and effective manner to get the best possible results from your investments and savings.
Make a list of small and big expenses you have incurred. Next, list all the necessary payments, such as rent, EMIs and school fees, and take into account other large payments such as vacations, appliance and furniture shopping for the home. This will give you an idea of where your money has gone in the previous year.
Now, take stock of the situation and further divide the lists that you have generated. Highlight the ones you can avoid or cut down on. For example, if you have eaten out frequently during the week, try bringing that number down. You could pull up your debit and credit card statements to figure out how often you swiped your card for this. Plan your eating out and entertainment dates to reduce expenses. This is also a good time to set a savings target for the current financial year. Whether it is Rs. 100,000 or 500,000 or higher, cutting back on some expenses, can help you achieve this target or come close to it.

This starts with your income. Divide it into 50 - 30 - 20. 50% is what takes care of all your immediate needs such as grocery, school fees, rent, and other living expenses, including any EMIs and other costs for travelling to work or school. 30% is what goes into your investments such as mutual funds and retirement funds, and other such savings. The remaining 20% is what you can spend on eating out and entertainment.
How much have you invested in mutual funds, real estate, gold or ULIPs? The answer to these questions tells you how well your portfolio is balanced. Ideally, you should invest more in Equity (through various instruments) when you are younger, and less as you age. For example, if you are 25 years-old, a good thumb rule would be to invest 100-25=75% in Equity, and the rest in Debt. Sit down with your financial advisor or CA to understand where you should invest to save tax, grow your wealth, and plan for future goals.
Planning your investments in advance can help you save on taxes. Some financial products that you could consider for saving tax and growing wealth include:
You can also opt for health and life insurance to save tax. Like the instruments mentioned above, these can be paid in monthly instalments. However, you need to ensure you choose a monthly, quarterly or half-yearly option when buying a policy. This is especially useful for those who cannot arrange lump sum amounts for investing at the end of the fiscal year.
Related: Simple ways to diversify your financial portfolio
Apart from the fact that you don't have to worry about getting change for high denomination notes, there are several benefits of going cashless. For instance, using cards to make payments allows you to keep a record of all your spending. Additionally, some payment apps and digital wallets offer incentives in the form of cash-backs and discounts, which can work in your favour. Here are some more benefits of going cashless.
Last but not least, Know Your Rights because knowledge is power!
When you file for taxes, be fully aware of the rebates that you can claim on property, pension plans and other schemes.
When you are choosing between investments, make sure you know all the options available.
When you choose an investment, make sure you read the Terms and Conditions carefully.
When you are looking to save tax, make sure you know which section to claim under.
Here's hoping FY 2017-2018 is the year of your financial awakening!

By Megdad M. Zaatreh, MD, Special to Everyday Health
It is estimated that nearly 33 percent of people with autism spectrum disorder also have epilepsy. Until recently, there was only limited clinical research about the connection between these two neurological conditions.
New research has found that adults with epilepsy are more likely to show signs of autism and Asperger's syndrome. Up to this point, in many cases, epileptic adults may not have been properly diagnosed or treated for autism symptoms. The newly discovered connection between the two conditions was the result of a study that showed epileptic seizures short-circuit the neurological function in the brain that affects socialization and involves the same traits seen in autism – impairment of normal social interaction (eye contact, conversation, enjoying the act of sharing with someone else) and tightly regimented or repetitive cycles of behavior.
Shedding Light on Socialization Challenges for Epileptics
Epilepsy is a brain disorder marked by recurring seizures or convulsions. Autism is a neurobehavioral disease that includes impairment in social interaction and language development which often includes rigid, systematic repetitive behaviors. Both conditions can affect patients with varying degrees of severity.
Up to now, the social and behavioral challengers for some people with epilepsy have been under-diagnosed, and research has not uncovered any underlying theory to explain them. Without diagnosis, there is no treatment plan. But this new evidence suggests that the misfiring of the brain during a seizure may explain the socialization issues. Not surprisingly, the more frequent the epileptic seizures, the more severely impacted the patient's socialization may be.
These new findings could mean that adults with epilepsy can now benefit from the wide range of autism treatment services available to address the socialization issues many epileptic patients have experienced throughout their lives. This offers the possibility of significantly improving epileptics' overall quality of life. Up to this point, there have been few services to address these needs.
Recognizing Symptoms of Epilepsy in Infants
The highest incidence of epilepsy occurs during the first year of life, when many new parents can overlook or misinterpret physical symptoms. Each year, 150,000 children and adolescents in the United States will have a newly occurring single seizure, and 30,000 will be diagnosed with epilepsy after subsequent seizures. During early childhood development, infants often exhibit a variety of erratic physical movements and mannerisms which may not cause immediate concern. But babies or children presenting any of these symptoms should be seen by a doctor immediately:
- A prolonged staring spell
- Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
- Lack of response or awareness to verbal stimulation
- Shaking, loss of balance or smacking of the lips
Specialty Care for Children With Epilepsy
If you suspect your child may have experienced a seizure, contact your pediatrician immediately for an evaluation. While seizures are frightening for parents and caregivers, it is important to observe and record the duration of the episode as well as the symptoms the child exhibited before and after the episode. Be sure to share this valuable information with your doctor. Keep in mind, some hospitals offer specialized epilepsy treatment programs exclusively for pediatric patients.
Megdad M. Zaatreh, MD, is a board-certified neurologist with special expertise in epilepsy who serves as medical director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at CentraState Medical Center in Freehold, N.J. Dr. Zaatreh has published several research articles in peer-reviewed medical journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Neurology and Epilepsia.

What is right and what is left?
Are you right; will you be left? Are you left; will you be right?
My thought is there are two definitions of the right and the left. One has to do with nationalism; that is, the presence of it or the lack of it. The far right would be nationalism to the point of aggression. The right would be the patriots who hold their principles in the Constitution as it is written. The left would be those who prescribe to the "one world" global philosophy.
My second thought is: The extreme right is dictatorship and extreme left is Communism. My quandary is, how does it happen that all far leftist become dictators? (Lenin, Stalin, Tito, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Castro, Hitler, Mussolini to name some.) Some will say that Hitler and Mussolini were not far left, but far right from the start. I remind you that fascism is a term used first by Mussolini as the name for his party which had begun as the Italian Socialist party. The term fascist comes from the ancient Roman symbol of justice. Hitler's Nazi party was also a socialist movement (Nazi a shortened abbreviation from NSDAP meaning National Socialist German Workers Party [Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei]). So you see these philosophies are left to far left by one definition and far right by another. Which are we?
My feeling is our forefathers put us at the dead center with the writing of the Constitution of our republic. Is our government now taking too much from the people and the individual states? After all, the federal government was formed by the states for mutual protection and for coordination between the affairs of the individual states. The federal government owns approximately 50 percent of the land in the western states. There is no reason for the feds to own more land than required for the location of government buildings and military installations as well as the District of Columbia!
The feds have passed new law after new law instead of enforcing the simpler laws which are already supposedly in force.
What's next, comrades?

The stellar form of Ben Barba stopped Cronulla from making a play for Jarryd Hayne with coach Shane Flanagan revealing he toyed with the idea of trying to sign the cross-code star.
Hayne this week secured his future when he signed a two-year NRL deal with Gold Coast, who fended off interest from rival clubs and European rugby to snare the former San Francisco 49er.
Flanagan said he made very brief inquiries about Hayne but scrapped the idea because it would likely upset team harmony.
"I even thought about (trying to sign Hayne) myself, if there was an opportunity, if we had an injury early on," Flanagan said ahead of Cronulla's crunch match against Canberra on Saturday.
"My back five are going outstanding for us at the moment.
"It was an option for us but we're really comfortable with what we're doing, I didn't want to upset ours."
The Sharks would have been forced to move on players to get Hayne, who inked a $2.4 million contract with the Titans.
One of the prevailing reasons behind not making a serious play was the form of fullback Ben Barba, who has returned to his best under Flanagan this year to be in Dally M contention.
"I didn't get too far," Flanagan said when asked about negotiations.
"I'm really comfortable with what we've got this year and I didn't think it was the right move."
Barba admits the Sharks are on guard after losing to the resurgent Raiders at home last year and also having their 16-match winning run ended by an 18-all draw against Gold Coast on Monday night.
"We all know the Raiders are going pretty good. They played really well on the weekend against Souths and in the past we've always had a good tussle against them," Barba told AAP.
"So we're definitely going to have to be on our game and play a lot better than we did on the weekend if we're a chance of beating them.
"We definitely want to keep our win streak at home going and Ricky Stuart will definitely have them prepared and ready to go on the weekend."

Many bloggers are also aspiring writers. Eric Smith will be one of the speakers on Sona Charaipotra's "Writing Meets Blogging" panel to discuss his experiences as an author and literary agent and how his use of the internet affects, helps, or hinders his writing.
Want to know a little more about Eric before heading into the panel? We asked him a few questions – what started his blogging, what his favorite books and bloggers are, and what his favorite animal is. Check out his answers below, then sign up and join us at the Jefferson Market Library on July 10th!
Tell us a little bit about yourself! Who are you? What do you write / where do you blog? What's your favorite animal? What one unexpected thing do you want people to know about you?
Oh hi! Well, I'm Eric Smith. I'm an author, blogger, and literary agent living in Philadelphia. I write YA and humor, and love blogging about books. You can catch me blogging on Book Riot, Barnes & Noble's teen blog, Paste Magazine, on my hyperlocal blog Geekadelphia and on my personal blog. As for my books, my YA series Inked is out with Bloomsbury Spark.
My favorite animal… probably a chinchilla. And I have one! That would be the unexpected thing, I suppose. I also have a corgi and bunny.
When did you first start getting involved in the blogger/publishing world?
Well, I've been blogging since high school on a personal level. I had a photography blog, where I rambled about my life, college, and posted band photos. Eventually this led to a blogging job at a now defunct magazine in New York, and then a blogging gig in Philadelphia when I moved here for graduate school with Visit Philadelphia. I spent three years as a full time blog editor there, and during my time, launched Geekadelphia.
Now, it was through all of that, building Geekadelphia and my own lil' online platform, that Quirk Books came knocking, looking for a social media / blog outreach guy. I was already applying for publishing jobs like a mad man in New York City, so it was really thrilling to find a place here at home. I got to stay in Philly, and spent five years at Quirk. They were very good years. <3
These days I work as a literary agent and spend time working on other peoples' books, and sometimes, work on my own. And I blog for all those places I mentioned earlier.
You're a panelist on the writing + blogging panel. What should we expect?
I'll probably ramble a lot about the importance of having a platform, and how it can lead to bigger things. I got my start in the publishing world because I spent the time building myself up online. It's a great way to show potential publishers what you can do.
What are some kidlit or YA books that you've read and loved in the past few months?
Oooh. I just finished The Rest Of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness, and it absolutely blew me away. I laughed, I cried, I felt an intense rage that I didn't think of the idea first. It was just brilliant and wonderful. I can't stop recommending it to people.
I also read and adored The Love That Split The World by Emily Henry. It's a debut novel with time travel, parallel universes, and a love story that's incredibly powerful. And speaking of love stories, I'm about halfway through Summer of Supernovas by Darcy Woods, and it's a really sweet, charming book full of horoscopes and astrology. A really love contemporary read.
Oh, and I've been telling absolutely everyone I know to read Autofocus by Lauren Gibaldi. It's an adoption story that's just oh-so-wonderful, and I wish I had been given that book as a kid.
Who are some kidlit or YA blogs that you love and read regularly?
There are a few run by authors that are just outstanding. I pretty much read and listen to everything Dahlia Adler blogs about on her personal site. Girl is a rockstar, and dishes out wonderful advice. Also, anything on Susan Dennard or Chuck Wendig's personal blogs are just golden.
In terms of group blogs, I love YA Interrobang, B&N's Teen blog (not just cause I write for it), and everything Kelly Jensen has to say about YA on Book Riot. She's brilliant and everyone should follow her.
I also adore the Cuddlebuggery crew, and anything Broke & the Bookish has to say.
What is one piece of advice that you would give to bloggers?
Remember how important you are. Publishing continues to shift and change, and you are so, so needed. Remember that though. YOU are needed. Publishers and publicists need you, not the other way around. It drives me crazy when I hear about bloggers feeling pressured to review this or that. Take your time, make sure you're enjoying what you do.
Where on the internet can people find you?
I can be found at http://ericsmithrocks.com, where I blog about books, news, and run giveaways. I really should updated it more often. And of course on Twitter (@ericsmithrocks) where I frequently tweet about manuscripts that make me cry.

Two weeks ago I transformed. I got educated and I am ruined for this cause. I met the founder of this heroic organization and his bold and amazing team. These people are my heros. They've got guts.
Sometimes it's a moment in time and that's all it takes to take the blinders off. I can't tell you how many times in the last two weeks I've cried over the thought of what these little girls are suffering. At the same time I am sick over the number of people who are absolutely in the blind to what is happening.
Remember the movie The Wizard of Oz? Just a click of the of Dorothy's heels and she was back at home again and she escaped the wicked witch. Well, these little girls have one hope and it's Agape or there's no escape. They're not escaping this evil without our help.
Right now this organization is having a "Raise Her Ransom" campaign and is desperately seeking men to be REAL MEN and be a voice for abolishing this horrific evil.
$100 from 2000 men seems so simple.
I'd like you to imagine that you had a choice of your family either starving to death or selling your 6 your old daughter's virginity for a high price of $60. That's the reality in this horrible place. In the middle of the most sex-trafficked spot in the world is the largest building in this small village, a beacon of light and hope. It's there because someone took a stand and said "NO MORE" and got their wallet out.
When I spoke with Don the first time, I wouldn't give him any money because I said "I want to do so much more." The reality was I thought my $30 wouldn't make a difference. Then a week later I watched his documentary and my eyes were wide open. I couldn't write that check fast enough. It occurs to me there are probably thousands of people who think their $30 dollars won't matter either. Please just ask one person to help. Is that too much to ask? Please watch this video, it won't ruin you for life, but I pray the Spirit of the Most High God will whisper in your ear to help somehow.
