There is no better business to work with to get results than
Gwenn Baldwin found the problems in Portland's permitting system and gave me a clear guide for how to fix them. A lot of people talk about making things happen, Gwenn actually does it.
Gwenn understood our bottom lines, was a diligent advocate
our behalf and great to work with.
The results were better than we hoped.

Travel Jewelry: Affordable and Safe to Carry
Take Travel Jewelry Wherever You Go
If you own beautiful diamond jewelry, like a wedding ring or pendant, you probably want to show it off. After all, what's the use of having it if no one else can see? However, if you're traveling, it can be risky to take jewelry with you. It's easy to lose small items when going on a trip. Theft presents another risk. Fortunately, travel jewelry provides a solution.
What is Travel Jewelry?
Travel jewelry is an attractive, low-cost replacement for existing jewelry. For example, suppose that you own a priceless diamond engagement ring. Now, you're heading out on a business trip and you don't want to take the risk of it getting stolen. Yet you still want people to see the ring—after all, it symbolizes your upcoming wedding and it looks spectacular.
In this case, we can create a piece of travel jewelry that looks identical to your ring. The replica will feature a cubic zirconia stone, a man-made simulant that's nearly indistinguishable from a genuine diamond. This way, you'll be able to show off the jewelry without risk!
Custom Designs for Travel Jewelry
Jewelry is all about the details. We take this fact into account when creating replicas. Quite a lot of effort goes into even the simplest custom design. First, there's the initial design consultation, in which we determine how much the finished travel jewelry will cost and how it will look.
After that, our team will start running the plan through CAD (computer-assisted design) iterations. This allows us to go over the diamond in painstaking detail and create a quality replica. We won't rest until the travel jewelry matches the original. The process takes 2-3 weeks to plan, and 3-6 weeks to create, so plan ahead of time.
Obtaining CZ Travel Jewelry
We have years of experience in custom CZ jewelry design. We can make replicas of the finest diamond jewelry. For instance, we once had a client who wanted us to make a travel jewelry replacement for an $85K diamond ring. Our duplicate was so good that his wife continued to wear it even after they got back home!
You can get travel jewelry in many different kinds of styles: rings, earrings, and more. Here at Wink CZ, we'll do it exactly the way you want it done!

Iceberg Salat Centar in it's greenhouses, which has on over 2 hectares of land, produces a salad that is order today and early tomorrow is cut, washed, packed and brought to market the same morning.
Salad which company produces in greenhouses is done on black film for disposable, to avoid the proliferation of grass, while in the open field lettuce is hand hoe. That is the hardest and most expensive way of farming.
Fresh salad postharvest has a very short lifespan, does not tolerate long transport and must be placed on the market day to day. There is a big advantage of the company because Iceberg Salat Centar is located only 12km from the city center.

Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990), better known by his stage name The Weeknd, is an R&B Canadian recording artist and record producer from Toronto. He began recording songs under The Weeknd and uploading them to YouTube in late 2010, though the identity of the individual behind the project was initially unknown. In March 2011, The Weeknd released a nine-song free album, House of Balloons which was critically acclaimed. The title track is based on a sample of Siouxsie and the Banshees' hit single "Happy House. The first album is a part of a trilogy which includes Thursday released in August of the same year and Echoes of Silence issued in December. In June, House of Balloons was named as one of ten shortlisted nominees of 2011 Polaris Music Prize but eventually lost to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. On December 21, 2011 at 11:07 p.m. EST Tesfaye released his highly anticipated third mixtape Echoes of Silence. The Weeknd's site crashed shortly after due to the large number of downloads. The Weeknd quickly provided a Hulkshare link to keep the album available while the official site was down.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
We studied hepatitis Cvirus (HCV) RNA among 143 subjects who had consumed at least 5 yr with liver diseases. The patients were classified into six groups by histological diagnosis as follows ; 7 patients with steatosis, 18 patients with fibrosis, 24 patients with alcoholic hepatitis, 39 patients with chronic hepatits, 42 patients with cirrhosis, and 13 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.The presence of HCV RNA was 0% in steatosis, 6% in fibrosis, 8% in alcoholic hepatitis, 69% in chronic hepatitis, 57% in cirrhosis, and 54% in hepatocellular carcinoma. The ALT concentration among the patients who stopped drinking without HCV RNA decreased more rapidly than those with HCV RNA.As regard for HCV genotype, the rate of HCV genotype 2 was high in the patients with chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. In particular, all the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma had HCV genotype 2.The results suggest that alcohol has some carcinogenetic actions among the patients with HCV genotype2.

With Key 2015 Additions, GM Totals 131 Landfill-Free Global Facilities
General Motors is assessing its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint in 2015, a year in which it added six new landfill-free facilities in Mexico and England to bring its total number of landfill-free facilities around the world to 131.
New Vehicles from GM: 2017 LaCrosse expected to borrow from Avenir Concept
All told, GM operates 65 zero-to-landfill facilities in North America, 35 in Asia Pacific, 23 in Europe, and 9 in South America. That total is far and away the greatest of any auto manufacturer in the world.
This year's additions include Luton Assembly and Ellesmere Port Assembly, effectively making all Opel/Vauxhall manufacturing in Europe landfill-free. The same can be said for all GM manufacturing in Mexico, where two new engine plants, a warehouse, and technical center added to the Toluca, Mexico complex make 16 zero-to-landfill facilities in the country.
"Our global progress in waste reduction is possible because of employee participation, creative ideas, and a strong supplier network," said Jim DeLuca, GM executive vice president of Global Manufacturing. "Our teams understand the positive impact of this initiative and they drive it in their facilities every day."
General Motors is working toward a goal of having 150 landfill-free sites around the world by 2020.

Heat Engines
Electric Motors
Electric motors consist of two mechanical parts—a stator, or stationary part, and a rotor, or revolving part—and two sets of electrical windings—the field and the armature. Electromagnetic fields set up across the air gap between the stator and rotor interact with each other and produce the torque, or turning force, that rotates the motor. The power output is the product of the torque and rotational speed. A motor is classified as DC (direct current) or…

Teacher Brandy Young sent the above note home to students in her 2nd grade class. What a great idea.
For anyone worried about students' academic achievement, it's worth noting that physical activity is associated with higher grades in kids. So less swapping homework for physical activity is unlikely to have a negative impact on their learning.

Website Performance
Webscale is the only multi-cloud solution that enables e-commerce businesses to rapidly migrate to the cloud, enhancing visibility and control over their applications. Delivered as a cloud-native software as-a-service (SaaS), the Webscale platform provides customers with a portfolio of tools and features that ensure efficient usage of application infrastructure, blazing fast performance and unprecedented uptime across both desktop and mobile platforms.
The importance of speed
Your storefront is the public face of your business, which means it is critical that your website delivers the best possible experience for your users. A lot of this experience centers around website performance and how quickly your users can interact with your web page. Studies have shown that slower performance by even 100ms can lead to up to 7% decline in annual revenue. Similarly, slow websites that load in over 3 seconds substantially increase bounce rates and deter future visits, further exacerbating revenue loss and brand dilution. Search engines also take page speeds into consideration in their rankings, which could be dramatically affecting your findability. The importance of speed and user experience has never been greater.
What makes a web page fast?
How does Webscale deliver website performance?
When a user visits your website, Webscale's distributed data plane is the first point of access to the website for the browser request. Webscale accelerates page views through end-end website performance optimizations, from the Internet edge to the Webscale layer and beyond, to the application infrastructure. A web page asset can be static (does not change frequently) or dynamic (changes on a per-user basis). Webscale is constantly monitoring and improving all facets of your web application, from better caching to CDNs to refactoring web pages, to accelerate the time for the user to interact with the website.
Intelligent Caching
Static assets can be cached and delivered from many servers, eliminating round trips to the origin or to the Webscale data plane itself. This in turn makes web page views faster. Webscale deploys caching at the data plane from which any requests for static content are being served, without sending the requests to your application infrastructure. This leads to better offloading and faster response times. Webscale also allows lets you create and manage caching policies using cache control headers that are enforced by the backend or the Webscale data plane.
CDN – Performance at the Edge
A content delivery network (CDN) is a globally distributed collection of servers placed in close proximity to Internet users all over the world. CDNs focus on delivering website performance by storing cacheable and delivering static content closer to end users. While Webscale is not a CDN in itself, we are deeply integrated with leading CDNs, rewriting static assets to be delivered directly by a CDN, leveraging their proximity to users and significantly accelerating website performance and page views.
Content Optimization
Performance at the Webscale data plane
Webscale reduces both the number of assets needed and the size of the responses to make a web page available for the user. Webscale uses advanced content optimizations in real-time to optimize the web page asset delivery, in addition to taking into account the type of device requesting the web page. Some of these optimizations include:
Combining multiple
assets into one
Minimizing assets by removing whitespace & comments
Inlining assets into
the web page
Reducing DNS
resolution time
Website performance degradation of a web page may also be caused by slow retrieval of 3rd party assets – assets that are owned or managed outside of your application infrastructure. Webscale's powerful Web Controls enable website performance improvements by configuring 3rd party assets to be deferred or downloaded in parallel, speeding up overall page load time.
How Webscale's converged platform delivers fast, secure application delivery across clouds

Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a leading automotive aftermarket retailer of parts, batteries, accessories and maintenance items, announced Tuesday it will open its second store in Opelika at 401 2nd Avenue next to Burger King on April 4.

We often hear from our customers that converting to propane seems like a huge, complicated process which deters them from looking into it further. The fact is, it is very simple and can be done with minimal disruption to your life. The experts at Devaney have broken down the facts about the process and benefits for you and your family.
More efficient – Propane is a multi-purpose fuel. In addition to heating your home and hot water, you can also run your fireplace, dryer, pool heater and stand-by generator from propane as well. It's one stop shopping for all of your needs.
Cleaner and Safer – Propane is Green and is an approved, clean fuel in line with the 1990 Clean Air Act as well as the National Energy Policy Act of 1992. Propane produces almost 15% less Carbon Dioxide compared to home heating oil and because it is non-toxic, it's not harmful to soil and water supplies.
Cost Effective – In addition to costing less per gallon (on average – prices do fluctuate with the market), the cost for maintenance for propane is much less than oil. Oil burners require annual tune ups to maximize efficiency. Because propane burns cleaner, we recommend only every 3 years for maintenance on propane equipment.
Increases the Value of Your Home – Ask any real estate agent and they will tell you that buyers are looking for propane over oil when they are evaluating homes. This is a secondary benefit to those immediate savings listed above, but your home is a major investment that you hope to profit from long term. In addition, the equipment is much smaller and will give you more space in your basement for storage or alternate living space. When it is time to sell, being outfitted with a propane tank, furnace and appliances will make your home the more attractive option.
Now that you know the wide range of benefits that await you when you convert, we have simplified the process for you to get it done in just 3 easy steps:
Schedule Free Energy Audit
Conversion to propane is a big investment and we want to make sure that you are enjoying savings wherever you can. We don't just install the equipment, our team stays up to date on the changing tax incentives as well as equipment rebates. As part of our service, we not only seek out these savings opportunities for you, but we will ensure that all of the necessary paperwork is filed and that you find that money going back into your pocket where it belongs.

Take the time to plan your project, form the scope of the work you want done to the specifics of the types of materials you want to use. Some homeowners associations restrict what materials can be used on the exterior of the house, or whether you can change the facade or footprint of the structure, not to mention your roof and what materials you can use. So before you embark on your next home improvement project, know your bylaws from your neighborhood association and any zoning restrictions.
Whether your project is upgrading your kitchen lighting or refinishing the basement, or installing new flooring, choosing the contractor is your next step. Whether you are speaking with a painter, electrician, plumber or a handyman, ask for references. Ask about licensing, which is required for new construction and home improvement, and some of the trades, such as electrician, plumbing, HVAC, and architects. And don't forget to ask about insurance.
If you are renovating an older building, be sure to ask what experience they have with restoration. The scope of work is quite different between working on houses built in the last 20 years and the older homes in many of the older neighborhoods.
With the rising cost of energy and global warming, it is all our interests to make our homes more energy efficient. It can be something as simple adding insulation or upgrading your HVAC. When purchasing new appliances make sure they are Energy Star rated.
There are the odd jobs that always need to be done around the house, cleaning out your garage, steam cleaning your carpets, window & gutter cleaning, power washing your deck, or who do you call if your basement is flooded and you need to have it cleaned out.
Your home is need of a fresh coat of paint and you need a good reliable painter to paint the interior as well as the exterior of your home, you will need a painting contractor to be able to take care of painting needs, the problem is you want change and you just don't know where to go for help in selecting your color palette.
Finding the person or company that you feel comfortable having in your home around your family is priceless. Nothing more valuable than having the resources to get the job done right the first time whether it is small or large.

On a 2007 RAV4/2AD engine type with some staring issues I made some captures.
I used a 4425 Pico,MI007 cables and back-pinning probes for crank , cam and rail pressure signals,clamp on 20a scale for cyl 1 injector current.
Only for the rail pressure sensor I used the engine ground,for crank and cam I used the signal ground provided by ECU.
Both signals(cam and crank ) have some interferences,also with Techstream+Mongoose interface I can see a abnormal engine speed(150-300 rpm with engine off,ign on!).
Removing back-pinning probes the engine speed goes to 0.
My setup was wrong?
Thank you.

Easy Fashion Strategies Nobody Should Leave The House Not Understanding Are Here
The guidelines of fashion can be very flexible. That's what makes it so great. Fashion might be what you make of it. Take advice out of this along with other articles, only implement the suggestions that work for you. Look over this post like a place to start for fashion advice.
A good fashion tip is to discover ways to develop your very own fashion sense. You don't desire to just mimic somebody else and copy their style. Imagine what's crucial that you you like comfort or flair, after which slowly develop that which means your style is exclusive for your needs.
Go shopping with friends and help each other select clothes. Your friends can be your best resource in terms of deciding on the best outfits to wear. You need individuals nearest to you to help you since they are those which will enable you to look your best.
When you find yourself by the pool or pool, store your sunscreen inside a cool place. Otherwise, the heat can alter the chemical composition of the product, so that it is less effective. You are able to put it in a plastic baggie before placing it within your beverage cooler, or put it inside a bag with ice.
One particular fashion tip is to just be more confident. No matter how good your clothes look, you will not truly look fashionable until you wear your clothes with assurance. You need to carry yourself with the utmost confidence. This is certainly one particular way you could take your fashion to a higher level.
A technique to make sure that you gaze great is to discover a specific cut or brand that fits you well and get multiples of this. This will be significant because you simply will not always find that perfect outfit, particularly if you are shopping on the eleventh hour. Buy more than one of the same color even, in case it gets damaged somehow.
Plus-sized women can give the illusion being smaller by avoiding large floral patterns. These shapes emphasize your large figure, which you will need to steer clear of. Focus instead on small patterns and prints to accept attention from your overall size.
Do not forget being unique. Although secondary school beats into our heads which everybody needs to be the same, the truth is that being unique is essential for success in any area. Lady Gaga is really a prime example. Uniqueness is a good thing. You ought to never attempt to hide it.
Don't forget to go over your fashion budget along with your friends, even when it's limited. For example, if each of your friends comes with an accessory or article of clothing you cherish, she may be prepared to change it onto you if it will no longer suits her. You can usually benefit from these free clothes, whilst keeping yourself stylish.
Don't let negative commentary about your manner of dress allow you to get down. One thing about opinions is that they're utterly meaningless unless they're your opinions! All you will need to do is rest assured and comfy in how you appear. Sooner or later, you'll attract individuals that like your personal style.
Wearing bangs is an easy strategy to hide a relatively large forehead, but it does not look good when you have one that is significantly too big for the face. The easiest method to minimize a huge forehead would be to wear an asymmetrical bang that may be not very full.
Now that you have come on the end of this article, you're more familiar with fashion. Take the advice that interests you, and disregard the rest. You don't need to always stick to the latest trends. Actually it is almost always best when you produce a style that is certainly unique to yourself.

Well, the fourth time is the charm! The first time we scheduled, there was a wind and rain storm, the second time the weather still wasn't right, the third time little Lexi got stung in the face by a bee,...so to say we were nervous about the fourth time, you'd be right! Although it was super hot and the bugs were TERRIBLE, we pulled off some great shots!

Box counting is widely used for characterizing fracture networks as fractals and estimating their fractal dimensions (D). If this analysis yields a power law distribution given by N $\propto$ r−D, where N is the number of boxes containing one or more fractures and r is the box size, then the network is considered to be fractal. However, researchers are divided in their opinion about which is the best box‐counting algorithm to use, or whether fracture networks are indeed fractals. A synthetic fractal fracture network with a known D value was used to develop a new algorithm for the box‐counting method that returns improved estimates of D. The method is based on identifying the lower limit of fractal behavior (rcutoff) using the condition ds/dr → 0, where s is the standard deviation from a linear regression equation fitted to log(N) versus log(r) with data for r < rcutoff sequentially excluded. A set of 7 nested fracture maps from the Hornelen Basin, Norway was used to test the improved method and demonstrate its accuracy for natural patterns. We also reanalyzed a suite of 17 fracture trace maps that had previously been evaluated for their fractal nature. The improved estimates of D for these maps ranged from 1.56 ± 0.02 to 1.79 ± 0.02, and were much greater than the original estimates. These higher D values imply a greater degree of fracture connectivity and thus increased propensity for fracture flow and the transport of miscible or immiscible chemicals.

So today it happened, I took it in, and then when I saw her handed it to her and informed her never to assume I was in again as she did not dictate my life and all she needed to know was for the sake of royal mail I was not the sorting office. She mumbld something under her breath but i ignored her. She has ranted on fb all night about people like me but i deleted her
Ship is coming into port for the night ,sea is still rough, storms are still gathered, rain is pounding down x whether the ship will hold through the storm is anyes guess, but it cannot rain forever xx

Every postie worth his or her or its weight in Foucault volumes will tell you that mental illness did not always exist: it's just a convenient label that our rational and modern age, accustomed to scientists measuring and classifying things, employs to describe deviant behaviors. Every psychiatrist will likewise tell you that mental illness has always existed, and it's only in the modern era that we've developed the means to identify and treat it as something other than a malevolent spirit or divine curse. It's difficult to deny that a lot of people who would otherwise put themselves in harm's way, directly or indirectly, have been helped by modern psychiatry. It's also hard to deny that the body of knowledge that mental health experts use to describe and treat mental illness often seems flawed, sometimes disastrously so. One has a normal state, they reason, and perhaps it grows and is transformed by experiences, but it's that fixed state that psychiatry seeks to preserve, to restore, and to guard. This notion of personal identity is one of society's few remaining unassailable citadels, standing squat and sturdy while religion, faith in institutions, and good storytelling are eroded by the churning forces of progress and market capitalism. It's at the core of the way both psychiatrists and many of their critics view the world. It may also be very wrong.
Jon Ronson's book The Psychopath Test, and the TED Talk that it inspired, crystallize a lot of the classic concerns about psychiatry. The central anecdote of the TED Talk concerns a man in an institution for the criminally insane who claims he only faked his illness in order to avoid prison. A dozen years later, and seven years after his sentence in a normal prison would have ended, the man is vainly trying to get out of the institution, but every attempt he makes only convinces the doctors in charge that he is a manipulative psychopath devoid of empathy. Regular behavior, like not wanting to talk to the serial killers that are his neighbors on the hospital wing, gets transmogrified into paranoia, standoffishness, and other tidbits of evidence of his supposed mental illness.
This anecdote recalls an experiment by the psychologist David Rosenhan which sought to test the ability of mental health professionals to accurately diagnose mental illness. The experiment, profiled in part in Adam Curtis's wonderful documentary The Trap, produced spectacular controversy. Rosenhan and his compatriots arrived at mental hospitals around the United States complaining of hearing the word "thud" one time, and reporting no other symptoms. All of them were committed, and despite the fact that they showed no further signs of mental illness, were diagnosed with various disorders. Their attempts to leave the hospitals and assert their own sanity were met with skepticism and, one imagines, renewed belief by the doctors in the paranoia of their new patients. Eventually, Rosenhan's compatriots managed to leave the institutions they had been committed to, though it took some several months. Rosenhan published his sensational results and was immediately challenged by one hospital to try again. The hospital soon after claimed to have found numerous fakes; Rosenhan stunned the psychiatry world again when he revealed he had sent no fakes.
It's easy to grow suspicious of the practice of psychiatry when one hears about incidents like these, to say nothing of the thousands of nameless homosexuals that psychiatrists doubtless caused undue trauma to until 1973, when the American Psychiatric Association finally declassified it as a mental illness. It's unfortunate that such criticism puts Ronson and other critics in bed with a lot of New Age rifraff and the totalitarian corporation that is the Church of Scientology, but bad company does not and should not keep one from remaining skeptical about the practice. What Ronson's, and indeed Rosenhan's criticism turn on is the notion that mental illnesses are in no way like other physical illnesses. Expertise or not, mental health care professionals are not dealing with something as easily spottable as an ingrown toenail, whose causes and symptoms are both apparent and exhibit few variations.
Joshua Buckholtz, a psychologist at Harvard University, provides a probable way out of this problem, at least in part. Buckholtz wants to reconceptualize mental illness. For too long, mental health professionals have regarded the labels we use to talk about disorders and mental phenomena that deviates from normal as categories that have an objective existence outside of our language. They're not, Buckholtz argues. Rather, they're a shorthand we use to describe different sets of symptoms that we've observed together but which also have brain chemistry or a biological fact of the matter that can overlap with other, supposedly different illnesses. We're trapped in a nomenclature that scientists created in an earlier era when mental illness was not as well understood. Breaking down that creaking and sclerotic body of classifications and replacing them with categories more firmly rooted in biology would go a long way toward preventing misdiagnosis and more accurately identifying true, chronic deviations from normal.
Still, the question remains whether that even should be treated. The danger of the baby being thrown out with the bathwater balefully lurks behind every corner of this issue. A lot of people, including people personally known to the author, have benefitted from modern psychiatry. Not minor quality of life issues, but a restoration of the ability to function normally in society: this is the gift they've been given. And it's a gift that should not be taken away. At the same time, many of today's medications so profoundly alter a person's outlook that they're tantamount to destroying one person and creating another in their same body.
Crystals, herbs, incantations and Dianetics aside, there are not many strategies for dealing with mental illness that fall outside the realm of modern psychiatry. There is, however, a rival tradition of treatment that existed (and perhaps still exists) within psychiatry itself which viewed mental illness as just another form of consciousness. While the French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault gets a lot of attention for his works analyzing the tendency of medicine to pathologize different forms of behavior, Dr. R. D. Laing, a Scottish psychiatrist, put the same ideas into concrete practice. Laing ran a clinic in which schizophrenics were allowed a space to pursue their goals, however demented. One could visit Laing's clinic and find people smearing themselves with shit and scribbling furiously on the walls without interference from the staff. This was because Laing believed that the lived experience of the mentally ill was worthwhile. The varieties of their experience should be accepted at face value, and though problems would arise that might require some form of treatment, but not necessarily one that altered the character of their lived experience in a fundamental way. This being the 60s, and Laing being a man fighting against some kind of establishment, his caused was embraced by New Leftists of various stripes. The Socialist Patients' Collective, a radical group that that identified the mentally ill as the core of a new revolutionary movement that would overthrow the capitalist class that had alienated them, represents a sort of comic epilogue to Laing and his work. A small Belgian town called Geel, which lets its mentally ill roam around freely and stay with host families, represents an interesting and likely completely-unscalable prologue.
This tradition's probable heir today is Temple Grandin and other proponents of "neural diversity." Grandin, a high-functioning autistic woman, works as a professor of animal science at Colorado State University and moonlights as an author and activist on behalf of autistic people, as well as animal-rights related causes. Her arguments are similar to what Laing and others argued decades earlier: autism is a different form of consciousness, rather than a pathology. It should not be "treated" in the sense that autistic people should be taught to approximate non-autistic people in behavior and psychology, but parents and friends of autistic people should collaborate with them in order to make their existence in society easier and more rewarding. Coming from Laing, a medical doctor, this type of thinking could easily be dismissed as a crackpot theory; coming from Grandin, a person who actually experiences the different form of consciousness that Laing would have talked about, it is more difficult to shunt aside.
Since Descartes, we've all been living with the notion that personal identity is a fixed and static thing. The implications for Western religion are obvious and critical: if personal identity was not fixed, then we'd run the risk of meeting an infant or a senile version of our beloved spouse when we get to heaven, rather than them at their most lucid and handsome. But fixed personal identity is a more powerful and hegemonic notion than that. Things as disparate as our legal system, many of our books and movies, and the newspaper horoscope rely on it as much as the great monotheistic religions. Rather than manufacturing scores of new, law-abiding citizens, prisons are supposed to teach existing people the error of their ways. Rather than transform the main character in our favorite movie into a totally different person, we watch that character grow, their identity subtly evolve. And we, ourselves: we are Aquariuses and Libras and Cancers and other animals, and we are them for our entire lives.
Maybe, like many present-day psychiatrists who lean too heavily on ontological categories that don't always exist, we too lean too heavily on a bogus concept of personal identity. A century or so ago, pragmatist philosophers like William James and John Dewey tried to reconceptualize the self as a thing constantly in flux, changing from moment to moment, that thing that mediated experience and the experiencer. This radical notion did not really take. People like to believe that their identity is fixed and stable, even when the hard knocks of biology demonstrate that it's not. The truth may not be so extreme as the Pragmatists believed, but it's certainly not as concrete as the Pope or the psychologist down the street believe it is. Maybe there's a party of selves, who all have similar identities that overlap in certain ways. Maybe the self dies every time we go to sleep and spawns a new self when we wake up. Maybe the self should not be thought of as something distinct from the body. I don't really know.

Homeowners Insurance Texas 118
Most people are looking for ways they can save money. Part of saving money is being sure that you are not paying more than you need to for something. One thing that many Texas residents do not understand is that sticking with the same homeowners insurance policy for many years may be causing them to overpay on homeowners insurance premiums. The Texas Department of Insurance has confirmed this fact. This underscores the importance of regularly looking at your homeowners insurance policy and making sure that it is not only covering all your current needs, but the price you are paying is comparable with the going rate. In fact, this is something that you should do on a regular basis.
One of the things that homeowners need to do is see if their circumstances have changed in any way. There may be certain things that may make their homeowners insurance rates go up or down. For example, keeping certain breeds of dogs can make an insurance policy go up. On the other hand, installing certain types of home security systems can make homeowners insurance policy rates go down. If you regularly look at your circumstances and see if they have changed, you may find that your insurance rates drop.
Texas residents need to be especially concerned about finding ways to save money on their homeowners insurance rate since premiums are continuing to rise in the state. One of the main things that cause homeowners insurance rates to rise in Texas is the fact that Texas experiences a lot of severe weather. Texas can experience hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, hail, and severe storms. All of these things can completely destroy or seriously damage homes. Not only do all of these things occur in Texas, but severe weather can happen at almost any time of the year. Since insurance companies base their rates on events that have occurred over the past few years and events that are likely to occur in the next couple of years, it is likely that rates are going to increase. More than $1.8 billion was sent out in direct losses in Texas in just the first six months of this year. This means that Texas residents need to be on their toes when it comes to finding ways to save money on homeowners insurance rates.
Something else that Texas residents need to be aware of is environmental factors that can affect their home. For example, many individuals are concerned about the dangers that exist in areas where fracking occurs. Some of the problems that may arise in areas where fracking takes place include explosions, fires, and earthquakes. Small earthquakes that occur in areas where fracking has been done can cause damage to homes, like cracks in the walls. This can seriously undermine the structure of the home, leading to future failure. The vast majority of homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage that has occurred because of fracking. However, there are things that Texas residents can do to protect their home in case of damage because of fracking. For example, they can add endorsements onto their homeowners insurance policy that can protect their home in case of earthquakes from fracking as well as from environmental factors like explosions and fires that come as a result of fracking.
Texas residents can contact their insurer when they have questions about their current homeowners insurance policy. They may be able to negotiate rates or add endorsements onto their current policy. Or it may be necessary for them to look around at different insurance companies and find one that better suits their needs.

You could cry or die
or just make pies all day
I'm making pies
I'm making pies
Lyrics by Patty Griffin
Woke up this morning, December 31st, and thought "Oh, shit, I'm alive". Some days are just like this. I know it will pass, but here's the thing: I believe I have the means to make it pass.
Living with the MS Monster is like walking around with four bricks duct-taped to each leg, and some days it feels like oatmeal is slogging through my veins. Do I have pain, people ask. Well, only when I'm standing and sometimes sitting. Laying down, I'm fine. I can't take the heat and humidity, so I'm homebound all summer. It never really goes away, even when I sleep. I could go on, but I'm boring myself.
I've never seen the glass half full or half empty, just wondered, how and when can we fill it up. Or, if its not possible to fill it up, how can I preserve and utilize what's left. So I woke up today, cried, pulled myself out of bed, without calling for a crane, and into a chair with a blessed cup of fresh ground coffee. I allowed sadness to be with me for the first hour. I try to see myself as others see me. My children, ages 26 and 22, don't feel sorry for me. And for this, more than anything, I am most proud. My children know me. And they see me as a person with capabilities.
After an hour or so, I began to prepare for a New Year's Eve party, by making a pecan pie. Years ago, my mother-in-law taught me how to make pies. She was country born and bred, so lard was a necessary ingredient in making the crusts. We cleared the kitchen table, spread out two large pastry cloths and we (meaning I) made countless throw away batches before I got the feel of it. I got to "know" the dough that would almost roll itself out waiting for the rolling pin to catch up. I learned lattice patterns, perfectly crimped edges, brushing the tops with egg whites for a shine. For this I believe: Making pies is an art form. Art is therapy.
I believe Forrest Gump was a figment of someone's twisted imagination. His talents far outweighed his minor disability, yet people pitied him. I believe pity is like deadly quicksand to the differently-abled. So I made my pecan pie today. I added a couple teaspoons of Bourbon to the filling. This pie brought back memories as it filled the kitchen with aroma, and it was offered to my dear old friends with love and received by them with love for a person who rode horses, planted gardens, remodeled homes, raised children and chickens, worked with hundreds of dying people, and now can do none of these things, but she is capable, and can make a hellova pie. Cause you can cry or, or die, or just make pies all day. And I'm making pies!

Gales and storms roar
Tremendous torrents pour
The intrepid pair
Go where others do not dare
The adults though
They simply stare
Can they not see?
Whats going on behind the air
Such calamities
Rage in the world
Of the imaginary
But these brothers are ok
They have eachother's back
Even when closing doors
And misplaced fingers
Threaten to end in a crack
Free minds
There is no limit
To the joy they can find
When do adults go blind?

Why do you think we are shallow? What would propel someone to choose to be shallow? O.K. some of us were just born shallow and they are the lucky few. Some of us have learned to become shallow to avoid emotional contact, emotional pain, emotional commitment, emotions of any kind other than 'I love that dress, I just have to have it!'
Yes, Shallow Sisters can and sadly do, fall in love. Sometimes their guard drops. If you were wondering if it was easy keeping a guard up, then you need to talk to a Shallow Sister who was not born thus. Guards are like walls, in that you need to build one, but unlike walls they don't remain steadfast and impenetrable without a great deal of upkeep. Guards not only need re-pointing on a daily basis they also need propping up. Thus it is way too easy (for a moment) to rest the guard-a-tor (which requires every cell of a Shallow Sister's body). It is then for a moment when the guard it down that someone gets in.
What kind of Man can win the wizened heart of a Shallow Sister?
Is there such a man? Hence the fact that most Shallow Sisters are somewhat negligent at guard guarding. After all it takes someone of immense ability and experience to sneak past Cerberus.
And yes, there is such a man. Sadly this Shallow Sister not only found one but also she went to the toilet having forgotten to check the guard-a-tor was in place.
Is he this Shallow Sister's usual meal? No.
He is not young, he is not Adonis like. But to this Shallow Sister he is young and he is her Adonis. He is the one that makes all those other Adonis' fade into oblivion. Even the Paragon. Yes, even the Paragon.
We know the Paragon has touched this Shallow Sister's heart, her body, her soul even, but not with the depth, not with the hunger, not with this need, not thus far thought possible.
He is not even someone she knows in the biblical sense, except that she knows when it happens planets will collide.
He is not even available. (Is that the attraction? No that is the frustration).
So who is he?
Who is this man that has erased every line this Shallow Sister has ever placed down?
He is the flip side of her. He has poured emotion of such vintage and high standing for her. He has tempted her to taste its fine bouquet and feel the heat of it travel deep inside her. He has allowed her to savour and crave its taste, it's fullness, it's headiness and she is left desperate for more. Wondering her days like a heroin addict looking for her next fix, beside herself with longing and impatience. He has dressed his potion with words from the Romantics, teasing her into letting go of the guard, a sip at a time.
Is this a game for him? It was for both of them. In the beginning.
Does this Adonis want her? She has no doubt that he does.
Does this Adonis hunger for her in the same way? She has no doubt that he does.
And what now?
The bottle is not in this Shallow Sister's grasp.
Her empty glass is.
And should this Adonis not top up her glass? What then?
It will be time to buy another tube of Anusol, this one's nearly finished.

A/N – I don't know how I feel about people who do this, but... I wrote a little two-shot story that takes place waaaaay before Twilight about how Rosalie learned how to fix cars. It always seemed strange to me that a girl like Rosalie would ever even THINK about getting dirt and grease on her hands, and was thinking about what POSSIBLY could have prompted a desire to learn about cars. And thus How Rosalie Learned About Cars was born.
It's not very long, and I'm really proud of it. I put a lot of time into researching for the story, and I want more people to read it. Call me selfish, if you want to. I will put a little preview on here, so you can decide if you want to read it or not.
Disclaimer – I don't own any of Stephenie Meyer's characters, nor do I own any of their pretty old-time cars. :( I especially don't own Rosalie… nor would I want to. Although I wouldn't mind having her mechanical brilliance!
Rosalie's POV
What was I THINKING, marrying EMMETT MCCARTY?! He is so… ARRRGGGGHHH!!! I was shaking with fury. Unfaithful bastard!
I have to get out of here. I don't want to be on the same continent as him right now, let alone in the same godforsaken house!
And so, as I usually did when I was upset, I grabbed my keys and my purse and headed out the door. I jumped into my beautiful red convertible, slammed the gearshift into the reverse position, and sped away from the house. If he wanted me, he was going to have to come after me.
... (A/N - I took a bunch of stuff out right here, like why she's pissed at Emmett...)
I probably would have driven forever, fumed forever. Or at least to the city limits and back a couple of times, but suddenly, the car started handling strangely and making a fast, irregular sound.
Thu-thump, thu-thump, thu-thump…
Oh, no. THAT can't be good.
A/N - Why is Rosalie mad at Emmett? What will Rosalie do when she realizes a flat tire ruined her getaway? To read more, visit my profile and click on the link for "How Rosalie Learned About Cars"...

Photo: Beth Dreiling Hontzas; Styling: Jan Gautro
Transform a simple log of goat cheese into an impressive party appetizer by rolling the log of cheese in sunflower seeds and drizzling with honey. Serve with fresh berries and crackers.
How to Make It
Step 1
Press or roll goat cheese log in sunflower seeds, thoroughly covering cheese, including ends. Arrange cheese on a serving platter with any remaining sunflower seeds. Drizzle with honey. Sprinkle with berries. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately with assorted crackers.
Step 2
Note: Nutritional analysis includes raspberries.

boney223's Review
DianeLM's Review
Excellent flavors of cheese, honey and salt â I rolled the goat cheese log (Choose a mild goat cheese as some can be a bit piquant) in the sunflower kernels, and served it with assorted crackers, sliced sweet-tart apples, blackberries, and clusters of red grapes which displayed a beautiful presentation and looked as though I spent some time on it. However, no one would guess how extremely easy this was to put together!
AinOakPark's Review
The second time I made this, I softened the cheese w/a little milk, put it in a small square server with sides, then sprinkled it with the sunflower seeds, drizzled the honey over and topped with the raspberries. Easier to eat. Next time I am going to melt a little raspberry preserves into the honey and see how that goes. Or maybe a little berry liqueur into the honey? oooooooh!
McCraney's Review
I put it together two minutes before company arrived using blackberries. Everyone loved it. I added the goat cheese and blackberries to an arugula salad the next day. Delicious!!
culwelrl's Review
Great! Super easy, I used pumpkin seeds instead of sunflower seeds
KissKiss's Review
I threw this together five minutes before company arrived. The berry garnish makes it look beautiful and I loved the sweet-salty combo. I will make this many more times for dinner parties.

Ever find yourself going through a tribulation, that no matter what you do or how hard you pray, it feels like God just don't hear you? Ever find yourself in a place where all you see, are problems and burdens, that are waiting to devour you and you just can't help but wonder where is God? Or do you ever find yourself struggling on a daily basis, and your so tired to stand on your own and you ask God, why won't you help? It's almost like being in a dark, damp, den filled with hungry lions that are drooling at the smell of our misery and fear.
Most of the time we forget that God is with us and that He has a plan for us. Even when we can't see what it is yet. And when the world casts us into a den of hungry lions, where we see the King of the Jungle waiting to consume us, we forget who the King of Kings is. But still, how do we survive The Lions Den, when all we see is darkness, and our problems.
It's obvious where our story comes from. Daniel was a righteous man in Gods eyes. And in chapter 6 we see that he was a man of prayer. But yet somehow, he was still managed to be thrown in the Lions Den. Why would God allow such a thing? That question will be answered later. But as we look at Daniel's story the first thing we automatically assume, is that it was Daniels prayers and faith that saved him. But sometimes that still isn't enough. Anyone can have faith that God will save them, but faith alone will not cut it. Anyone can pray for God to save them, but like faith, prayers alone will not work.
How DID Daniel survive the lions den? His story is found in Daniel 6:1-28
- Obviously Faith and Prayer did have a part in it. You see Daniel loved God and prayed with Him daily. It gave that personal connection with God. Something that Christians lack today. A direct communication with the Almighty. Even while Daniel suffered a good bit, He didn't give up on God, he still prayed.
- In Daniel 6:20 it says "And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?" This tells us that Daniel didn't just pray, but he served God continually. So many Christians think that we can do anything we want to on this earth and still think God will protect us from harm. But we must serve God in all that we do to survive this lions den. This includes: Prayer, Bible reading, ministry work, worship Him in spirit and truth, share the gospel, obey His commandments, etc. And not just on Sunday or twice a week but continually!
- Daniel 6:22 says "My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt." Take a look at the bold in that verse. God found Daniel innocent. Not of the law that the king made, but of God's law. God looked at Daniel and found innocence. Daniel was without sin, and was a righteous man of God. This tells us that Daniel was sanctified. To make our petitions known before the Omnipotent God, we have to wash our sins off of our lives, get rid of the filth that we keep locked up inside of us and be sanctified. God wants us to be pure and holy.
- The latter part of that verse says "And also before thee, O King, have i done no hurt." Sometimes the people in our lives are the source of our problems. But instead of retaliation, show them love and longsuffering. Because the bible tells us in Matthew 25:40 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." So let us make sure that we don't have quarrel with our neighbors before wondering where God is.
- The last thing, is found in verse 23. "Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of harm was found upon him, because he believed in his God." Ok, let us get the record straight. This is not the same as having faith that God will deliver you. Daniel Believed in God. He knew who God was, and he knew God loved him. He knew God would not allow him harm because he was innocent. He didn't doubt for a second God didn't hear his prayers. He didn't doubt for a minute that God hadn't left his side. He knew God was all powerful, He knew, God was with him, even in the darkest place of his life. But not only that, the bible says he believed in his God. It was a personal and intimate relationship between a man and his God. And that is the very thing that Christians forget. We remember the story of Daniel, how he prayed his way through the lions den and when we apply it to our lives today, we forget to believe in our God. Our Savior, our Friend, our Father, our Fortress, our Refuge. You could almost say that believing in God is knowing who He is intimately.
It is when we Pray, have faith, serve God and others, be found innocent and believe in God while having a relationship with him, that we are saved from the Dark days of our lives. That we are saved from The Lions Den.
Psalms 23:4 "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me…"
Daniel 6:27 "He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions."

ever? Maybe.
This is pretty much my favorite song right now. "Forget You" by Cee-Lo Brown. I just think it's so catchy. I heard it my doctor's office, from his iPod, in the summer. The next week, he was playing it again. I kept thinking, "is it really saying what I think it is?" At the time, I think he was, but has since had to edit/recreate the song ; )
I know many of you probably watched the Grammy's, but in case you did not, I felt as though I should share this video.
I about jumped off the couch when they said Gwyneth's name with Cee-lo's. I love Gwyneth Paltrow.
And if you were curious about Gwyneth's shoes……
Christian Louboutin "Futura" – crazy huh?
All pretty strange, but I loved it!

Over the past two decades, the American West has experienced protracted drought. An estimated 100 million trees are dying. Our extraction of ground water is unsustainable.
The world's population — already close to 8 billion — is expected to surpass 11 billion by the end of the century. How can we scale food, water and energy systems to sustain the generations to come during a time of rapid climate change?
