Classic jazz, silky smooth with a gospel touch, that's the music in Patricia Watson. The purity of her voice, combined with her style, grace and the amazing musicians that accompany her, won her the Rising Star Award for 2009 from the African Nova Scotia Music Association.
Her voice and songs inspire her audience so much so that they cannot resist the urge to sing along and participate in this engaging soulful musical experience. Music is magic!
As a little girl, she had a recurring dream, "I would be sitting in the audience watching myself sing on stage and also be on stage watching myself in the audience." This has played out in her life because she has actually been in both places.
Patricia has been a guest speaker, soloist and workshop facilitator at different churches and venues in Canada and the
United States. She performs with The Patricia Watson Quintet in Canada and Jazzy Women in the US.
Patricia had the honour of performing for the two Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia, The Honourable
Mayann Frances and Myra Freeman.
She performed in Share the Dream
at the Eastern Front Theatre.
As a member of the South Shore Women in Jazz trio, Patricia toured Nova Scotia and took part in the 2005 Halifax Jazz Festival.
Patricia's voice is known at the Lunenburg Arms Hotel, Pearl Theatre, Chester Theatre and the Natal Day Festival in Halifax.
She was a cast member in The Gospel of Colonus at
Neptune Theatre, the
Revels Production and the play
She has performed with a 19-member A Capella jazz group called Counterparts; Tribe I, an 11-member dynamic vocal and instrumental group; and various choral groups in the United States.
"Patricia; You have worked hard and it shows. You seemed so to have such ease in how you engaged with your audience.
I would say, a "grand" performance. Well done. And with such passion. I'm looking forward to seeing more of you artistic
creativity. I loved it.
Much love, Dina DeWit
"There's nothing like an evening of great music full of energy and passion."
Jill Jeddrie
"Patricia Watson graciously shared her vocal talents in a pre-show Jazz concert for two of our annual fashion events, Turbine Showcase, to enthusiastic audiences of over 300 guests.
"Her passion and energy were felt by all throughout
her outstanding performance. Patricia is truly a unique combination of inner beauty, authenticity, and marvelous talent
right here in Nova Scotia."

"what a fab cd you have put together with tony and your musician friends!
your voice is clear, it reaches out, is totally pitched and toned and bang on capturing the lyrics and the songs . . .
listening just got better and better and better with each cut . . . you are VERY brave to launch with the standards you chose !!!
"it's an alerting moment for the listener to move beyond the "originals" to take in your challenge version and you nail it, girl ! ! ! as i listened to "fever" for example, somewhere around 10 bars, it was YOU not peggy !!! WOW !!! that takes some clear presence on your part !!!
"the Jobim "wave" takes you and the band to a harmonic rush ! like wave and ocean: not two ! the gospel work is worthy of joined hands in praise !!!!!! (cute phrasing, eh !!!)
"anyway . . . got to take the time to listen again . . . that's it: it's a listening cd ! not background music . . . like being in a club, a live show, with you all being in the spotlight !"

William Lane Craig Debates Michael Tooley on the Existence of God
Some of my family members attended his debate last night against Michael Tooley at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte and I've gotten some good feedback so far.
For those of you interested in audio and video of Craig's debates, here is an extensive list with links to audio, video, and transcripts where available. It is grouped by topic rather than date, and I don't know if it's a comprehensive list, but there is enough here to keep anyone busy for quite a long time!
If you are interested in links to other debates and commentary, Wintery Knight has a great list here. His list includes debates between such notables as N.T. Wright and John Dominic Crossan, Michael Shermer and Jonathan Wells, Stephen Meyer and Michael Shermer, etc.

A Simple Case For Intelligent Design
1) It is a given that complex, integrated, functional machinery exists.
2) There are two logically possible causes for 1: A) intelligence, and B) non-intelligent forces of nature and chance.
3) Non-intelligent causes have not yet been empirically demonstrated to produce complex, integrated, functional machinery. This has only been assumed (see just-so stories).
4) Intelligent causes have been, and can be, empirically demonstrated to cause such machines. (Computers, cars, aircraft, etc.)
5) Therefore, intelligence is currently the best and only explanation for 1. Until another causal class can be empirically demonstrated as a viable cause, Intelligent Design is the default position.

Pi Day
Pi is a special number in that it is irrational (it cannot be written as a ratio of whole numbers) and transcendental (it cannot be expressed as the result of any finite series of mathematical equations). Pi, written π, has been calculated to over a trillion digits, but if it could be written down, it would fill the entire universe.
To see one million digits of Pi, go here.
It's interesting to search for strings of digits in this list. So far, I've found the 6-digit birthdays of most of the people in my immediate family.

Would You Consider Abortion in These Four Situations?
Today is the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade supreme court decision legalizing abortion. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 45 million legal abortions were performed between 1973 and 2005.
Would you consider abortion in the following situations?
1. There is a preacher and wife who are very, very poor. They already have 14 kids. Now she finds out she is pregnant with her 15th. They are living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you consider recommending abortion?
2. The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. They have 4 children. The first is blind, the second is dead. The third is deaf and the fourth has TB. The mother finds she is pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would you recommend abortion?
3. A man abused a 13 year old girl and she is now pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
4. A teenage girl is pregnant. She is not married. Her fiancee is not the father of the baby, and he is very upset. Would you recommend an abortion?
If you have answered "yes" to any of these situations...
In the first case you would have killed John Wesley, one of the great evangelists of the 18th century.
In the second case, you would have killed Beethoven.
In the third case you would have killed Ethel Waters, the great gospel singer.
In the fourth case you would have recommended the murder of Jesus Christ.

Twenty-two years after the first International Conference on Nutrition, the widely anticipated ICN2 is now drawing to a close in Rome. ACTION Staff who participated in the conference analyze what was accomplished -- and what more can be done.
Twenty years ago, representatives from different member states met in Rome to declare their united commitment to address global food insecurity and undernutrition.
A new report from ACTION partners show that progress in involving civil society in national TB programs across the European region is falling short of planned goals
New numbers from the WHO show that 39,000 people diagnosed with drug-resistant TB are on waiting lists to get life-saving drugs – the first time such a waiting list number has been released.
This Fall is an especially important time for setting ambitious goals on nutrition—and holding actors accountable for promises made over the last year and a half.
Yesterday I marched with over 300,000 people in New York, protesting against the weak global response against climate change so far. But why was I marching on an environmental issue when my work is to manage health and nutrition advocacy?
From Monday onwards, Presidents and Prime Ministers will arrive in New York City for the annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Among the issues they will grapple with is how to make progress on fixing a new set of development goals.

Onsite or in-house?
No job is the same and neither is the location. Sometimes a job can be done when in dock. Shipyard employees will then work supervised by our propulsion engineers. If that is not an option and/or the repair cannot take place while afloat, we will take the device to one of our workshops for in-house repair.
AEGIR Propulsion has three workshops
- 1 workshop for (bow) thrusters and CPP units
- 1 for controls
- 1 for propeller & blade repair
All our workshops are clean, fully equipped for the work, offer the necessary space and have cranes and the specialized tools needed.
We work make independent and our engineers are experienced experts with knowledge of all major installations.

River from the Throne - Prophetic Art by Gwen Meharg
River from the Throne
Gwen Meharg
Watercolor - 22 x 30 unframed
|I was reading in Revelation about the sapphire throne and the river from the throne and the people in the river and how they were illuminated by God. One translation said they were on fire! but were not burned. Then on the way to church I was listening to a CD (Mike Bickle or Wes Campbell, somebody like that) and they were talking about the same thing and I just had to paint it. The people in the river are on fire adn dancing! I long to be in that river, on fire, dancing on earth as it is in heaven. YEEE HAAAWWWWWW!!!

Do other patients suffer from this nausea feeling and how long can it last for?
Any suggestions please

NASA has begun developing the living quarters for its planned manned mission to Mars in 2030, with the space agency revealing that it will include a home cinema within an underground bunker to keep astronauts entertained.
Speaking exclusively to CE Pro Europe, NASA spokesperson George Diller revealed that the agency is currently working on a simulator to ascertain whether a home cinema would be feasible in Mars' harsh atmosphere.
While manned missions to Mars have been discussed for decades, it's only recently that NASA has begun exploring the possibility, with the agency planning a manned mission in 2030, following the deployment of a new Mars rover in 2020.
As part of the Mars 2020 project, NASA plans to deploy equipment to prepare for its first manned mission in 2030. The equipment involved will include an 'armada' of robots which will prepare the underground bunker which the astronauts will use.
According to George, "living underground eliminates the need for above ground shielding and offers many other advantages in regards to human survivability."
Due to the amount of time it takes to get to Mars, NASA wants to ensure its astronauts can live on the planet for as long as possible – although it does intend for its manned missions to be return trips.
Scientists at NASA have deduced that in order to maintain the sanity of astronauts they will need various forms of stimulation, which includes a gym, a home cinema and an indoor tennis court. Astronauts will also have to learn how to cultivate their own food using the planned greenhouse, which will be constructed on Mars' surface.
Astronauts will have to learn to live alongside robots however, with much of the base being constructed, maintained and operated by the artificially intelligent beings, allowing the astronauts to further explore the planet.
While a home cinema on Mars sounds infeasible, NASA has reportedly expanded its partnership with Screen Innovations, which originally led to a home cinema screen on the International Space Station.
In that installation, Screen Innovations developed the ISS ViewScreen, a portable, 65in, ambient light-rejecting, zero gravity screen that replaced the 13in, tablet-sized displays that crew members had been using to communicate with Mission Control.
Screen Innovations is supposedly planning to go even bigger for the Mars project, with an 85in screen currently under development. Unlike its ISS ViewScreen however, the Mars screen will benefit from at least some gravity – 3.711 m/s² to be exact. While that's a third of Earth's gravity, the screen should be easier to produce.
Alongside the 85in screen, NASA is partnering with Barco on a prototype projector designed specifically for use on Mars. While laser technology is currently all the rage, Barco is reported to be working on a technology that will be better suited for long-term use.
George states that the decision to work with Barco was clear, as the company was willing to go above and beyond to produce a projector specifically for the Mars mission. Already the R&D costs of the Mars projector are supposedly above that of any other projector Barco has created.
Imagery will be an important aspect of the Mars home cinema, as the astronauts plan to use it for interacting with earth, as well as for watching films and playing video games. Equally important however will be the sound system.
George adds: "For the ultimate sound experience in space we couldn't think of a better technology to use than Dolby Atmos."
Rather conveniently, Dolby Atmos already enjoys a space-themed name, which will make it perfect for the Mars mission.
NASA currently has no plans to show off its underground bunker to the public, but says that development will continue until the very last minute.
Unfortunately NASA has no plans, as far as we know, to install a home cinema on Mars – we hope you enjoyed our April Fool's joke however!

Right now I am learning and re-learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL and C#. This is my final semester, i.e., 8th semester in engineering.
I was interested in computers from a very early age. The first time I came to know about the computer was when I was 7-8 years old and from then on I wished to have a computer. Although at that time I hardly knew what the machine was. At that tender age, as a child what I thought was that the computer was an electrically powered machine that could do anything. I thought it to have magical powers. I had a rubik's cube(3x3).Here I have a blog too!

Ships of Russian Baltic Fleet to make voyage to Antarctica this year
Source: TASS.com
KALININGRAD, February 2. /TASS/. Ships of Russia's Baltic Fleet, one of the major regional divisions of the Navy, will make several long-distance voyages this year, including a voyage to Antarctica, the official spokesman for the Fleet, Roman Martov told TASS.
"The ships of the fleet are to make long-distance voyages to the North Sea, to the Mediterranean, to Antarctica, and to other areas of the world ocean this year," he said without specifying the ships that would take part in them, as the voyages were still in the phase of planning.
Martov recalled that the oceanic survey vessel of the Baltic Fleet, the Admiral Vladimirsky, did an Antarctic voyage from November 2015 through to April 2016, for the first time in thirty years.
He pointed out a constant expansion of the geography of voyages, saying that ships of the Baltic Fleet performed assignments in the Caribbean, North, Black, and Mediterranean Seas, as well as in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in 2016.
They made unofficial visits and business calls into more than twenty foreign ports in Spain, Greece, Malta, Cyprus, Djibouti, Oman, Cuba, Trinidad and Tobago, and other nations.
"All the units of the Baltic Fleet are in the state of permanent combat readiness today and are capable of performing assignments within the shortest possible time," Martov said.
Czar Peter I, whom the Russians duly regard as the founder of the national Navy, signed a decree on February 2, 170,1 on building six 18-gun vessels on Lake Ladoga, thus giving inception to the Baltic Fleet.
Today's Baltic Fleet comprises a highly ramified structure. It has the surface fleet, the submarine service, aviation, an air defense force, coastal defense troops, and logistics assistance units.
Hunt for Antarctica's 'missing meteorites'
Source: BBC News, Jan. 31, 2017
The go-ahead has been given for the first British expedition to collect meteorites in Antarctica.
Most of the space rocks now in collections worldwide have been picked up on the continent.
The region's great expanse of ice makes searching for the blackened remains of objects that have fallen from the sky a particularly productive exercise.
But the UK venture will target a strangely underrepresented class of meteorites – those made of iron.
These are the smashed up innards of bodies that almost became planets at the start of the Solar System.
Finding more of them could give us important clues to events that occurred some 4.6 billion years ago, said Dr Katherine Joy from Manchester University.
"We can't access the iron core of the Earth, but iron meteorites provide us with a really nice guide to what the inside of our own planet is like and gives us an indication of how many planets there may have been in the early Solar System," she told BBC News.
Ten times fewer of these iron lumps are recovered on the White Continent compared with other parts of the globe.
The British scientists think they know the reason for this discrepancy.
They have developed a mathematical model that suggests the chunks of metal are all still out there, waiting to be picked up; they just happen to be buried a few centimetres below the surface.
Technologies normally employed in landmine detection are being adapted to make a wide sensor.
This apparatus will be dragged by skidoos across the ice to find the hidden space material.
A prototype system should be ready for testing at the UK's Halley research station in the Antarctic summer season of 2018/19.
Assuming this goes well, a team will then deploy to a deep-field site a year later to begin the iron hunt in earnest.
The Manchester-led project is funded by the Leverhulme Trust with logistic support from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).
Any meteorites that are located will be brought back to the UK to be curated and studied.
It is hoped the search will prove so successful that expeditions will become an annual event.
Of the more-than-35,000 meteorites catalogued in collections, something like two-thirds have been retrieved from the White Continent.
Not only does the colour contrast make for easier prospecting, but hunters also get a helping hand from the way the ice sheet moves.
Meteorites that crash in Antarctica's high interior are buried and transported towards the coast, ultimately to be dumped in the ocean.
But if this conveyor happens to run into a barrier on the way – such as a range of mountains – the ice will be forced upwards and scoured by winds to reveal its cargo.
Meteorite hunters on the continent concentrate their searches in these special "stranding zones".
What they notice, however, is that a mere 0.5% of discoveries are iron meteorites. Based on global statistics, this number should be more like 5.5%.
Dr Geoff Evatt is a mathematician specialising in glacial systems. His work suggests the properties of iron-rich meteorites mean they struggle to break the surface at stranding zones in the same way as stony meteorites.
"As they get nearer to the surface, the iron meteorites see the sun and absorb heat energy, and that allows them to melt back down," he explained.
"Iron has high thermal conductivity; it transfers heat from its top side to its underside where it can melt the ice below and essentially sink back down.
"That doesn't happen with the stony-type meteorites because although they absorb the energy, they can't transfer it as efficiently to their undersides.
"We think there must be a great mass of missing iron meteorites just under 30cm below the surface."
If the team's apparatus can identify the right places, it should be fairly straightforward to dig out the meteorites.
Prof Tony Peyton works in Manchester's School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
He is looking to incorporate fairly standard landmine detectors into a 10m-wide rig that can be pulled across the ice to sense the sunken treasure.
"The issue is not so much signal to noise that we would have in our more extreme and demanding applications; the issue for us is really the ergonomics and practicality of engineering a system that can cover the area that we want and also cope with the environmental factors – the temperature range and the vibration."
The team has yet to make the decision on where precisely to conduct its search.
Logistics demand it be within range of Halley and the expertise of BAS. This means the chosen site is likely to be somewhere along the Shackleton, Argentina or Pensacola ranges.
These territories have largely been ignored by meteorite hunters to date. But from satellite images, it is clear they have extensive areas of dense, blue ice – the kind of ice that has been forced upwards and brushed clean of snow by Antarctica's relentless winds.
Dr Joy plans a reconnaissance to the region in the same season that the detection rig is put through its paces at Halley.
"Nasa has just announced the Psyche space mission which will visit an iron asteroid. That's going to a body made of exactly the type of material we hope to be collecting in Antarctica," she said.
"Understanding the differences and similarities between what Psyche samples in-situ and what we see in meteorites in Antarctica is going to be critical to unlocking some of the secrets of the earliest days of the Solar System."

Swinging Johnson - NBA Record (16-19,-16.0 units)
*Games assigned 1 to 5 units.
We're slowly climbing out of the early season hole I've dug with another winner last night as the Brooklyn Nets +4 cashed for three units to not only cover the number in our NBA betting odds but winning the game outright, 101-93.
We are approaching the end of the season and the playoffs are looming. Let's see if we can smash these two games tonight and heat up for the postseason.
New York Knicks (51-26 SU, 44-32-1 ATS) vs. Chicago Bulls (42-35 SU, 34-42-1 ATS)
Carmelo Anthony is en fuego, dropping 36 points on the Wizards Tuesday night and positioning himself for a scoring title. The Knicks as a team have been unconscious, rattling off nine consecutive wins and covering the spread in all but one of those games. They have been a veritable ATM for their backers but are looking to avoid a season series sweep at the hands of their nemesis, the Chicago Bulls.
While the Knicks have been sizzling, the Bulls have been somewhat fizzling. They have dropped three of their last five with two clunkers in a row to Detroit and Toronto. More importantly to those who like to back their opinions up with cold hard cash is the fact that Chicago has failed to cover the spread in five of their last six contests.
The Pick:
Both teams are injured to varying degrees but it's the Bulls who seem to have cast a spell over the Knicks this season. It's important to note that New York captured the Atlantic division title Tuesday night with their dominating 120-99 performance over Washington and might be breathing just a bit easier. Isn't it time for a little letdown here, particularly against a club that routinely plays their best when the Knicks come to town? I think so.
Play Chicago +4 ½ for 4 units at Bookmaker for your NBA picks.
Oklahoma City (57-21 SU, 46-30-2 ATS) vs. Golden State (45-33 SU, 39-38-1 ATS)
Okie City has defeated the Warriors in six of their last seven meetings as they wrap up their season series tonight. However, be aware that the one lone victory in those seven contests came in the only game played at Golden State this season when the Warriors defeated the Thunder 104-99 on January 23rd as one point home underdogs.
While Oklahoma City struggles to wrest the number one overall seed in the Western Conference from San Antonio, the Warriors are simply content to have finally clinched a berth in the postseason. Golden State has won four of their last five games and has done it by banging the boards all season. They are ranked 2nd in the NBA in rebounds, averaging 44.8 boards per game.
The Pick:
As good as the Warriors have been on the glass they won't have a distinct advantage over Kevin Durant and company this evening. Oklahoma City is ranked 6th in rebounds and their 105.8 PPG average will bode well against a rather porous Warriors' defense. Golden State may take their foot off the throttle after securing a ticket to the playoffs while the Thunder still has some unfinished business to attend to in locking up the top spot in the Western Conference.
The last time these teams met on February 6th, the Thunder rolled to a 119-98 victory. I say spotting Golden State 3 ½ won't be much of an advantage against a far superior Oklahoma City squad.
Play Oklahoma City -3 (-120 buying a ½) for 3 units at Pinnacle.

These mites cause allergies with symptoms that can include a runny nose, redness of the eyes, coughing, chest pains, and difficulty breathing. It is a fact that we cannot totally win the war against these creatures, but we can contain them through solutions like allergy-free bedding options.Regular bedding like comforters, blankets, and encasing only provide the warmth and comfort you need to a certain extent, as they fail to keep dust mites from turning them into their breeding ground. On the other hand, premium items like hypo-allergenic bedding from trusted providers like the Allergy Relief Store offer comfort as well as protection against dust mites.

Its premise is that Archimedes, the famed Greek scientist of Syracuse, discovers the properties of gunpowder right before his death at the hands of the Romans during the siege of Syracuse. It is rediscovered during the reign of Constantine and it has drastic effects on the history of the world.

There is something very special about blue flowers. A single flower of Delphinium carolinianum has tones of bright, gem-stone blue flanked by a violet spur and white whiskers. The flower spikes light up the rocky glades of Arkansas in spring.
Latin Name/Common Name- Delphinium carolinianum is in the Buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). The word "delphinium" is derived from Greek, meaning dolphin. It refers to the bud, which has a dolphin-like shape. The word carolinianum means from Carolina. Of course, today this refers to the mid part of the United States.
Note the dolphin-shaped bud at the tip of the flower spike
Bloom Color- On Ozarkedge, the wild larkspur are clear gem-stone blue with violet spurs. The hood may be violet or pale blue to white. A lighter blue version is sometimes seen and is known as Delphinium virescens. This is now considered to be the same or a subspecies of Delphinium carolinianum.
Note the deep violet spur and hood with blue sepals
This variation has a softer violet spur, blue sepals and white hood
Description- Delphinium carolinianum is a perennial of 1 to 3 feet in height. The stem is finely pubescent. The finely cut leaves appear alternately on the lower stem.
Pubescent stem with finely cut leaf
The stem terminates in a raceme with many flowers. The flowering begins at the base of the stem and proceeds to the tip with many flowers in bloom at once.
Each stem is a wand of many flowers opening from base to tip
An individual flower is composed of 5 petal-like sepals and 4 petals. The sepals have rounded edges with a greenish indentation near the tip. The base of the top sepal forms the upwardly tilted spur. A hood is formed by the small upper petals. The lateral petals are bearded with fine, white whiskers.
Soft, white whiskers on the side petals
After blooming, each flower is replaced by a green seed pod composed of three columns, grouped together. As the seeds ripen, the stem and pods turn light brown and have a papery texture.
Unripe green seed pods in columns of three
Within a few weeks, seed pods ripen, dry and turn light brown
Bloom Time- These blue beauties light up the month of May on Ozarkedge. The flowering lasts almost the full month.
Habitat- Delphinium carolinianum grows on rocky, limestone glades in full sun to part shade.
Rocky glade at a woodland edge is the typical habitat
What's Growing Nearby? Although Delphinium carolinianum doesn't like a lot of competition, she has some neighbors that add to the show. In particular, Calamintha arkansana (Ozark calamint) provides a beautiful backdrop to the tall spikes of Wild larkspur.
Tiny flowers of Ozark calamint provide a fragrant carpet of soft blue at the base of Wild larkspur
Other common neighbors include Glandularia canadensis, Matalea decipiens and Penstemon pallidus.
Penstemon pallidus Matalea decipiens Glandularia canadensis
Endangered List- The USDA Database lists Delphinium carolinianum as Endangered in Florida and Threatened in Kentucky. You can access the Legal Status here.
NatureServe lists it as S1 (Critically Imperiled) in 4 states (llinois, Kentucky, Florida and South Carolina) and S3 (Vulnerable) in Georgia. Much remains to be learned because this lovely flower has not yet been ranked for the majority of states (including Arkansas) that make up its native range. See below.
*NatureServe. 2015. NatureServe Explorer: An online encyclopedia of life [web application]. Version 7.1. NatureServe, Arlington, Virginia. Available http://explorer.natureserve.org.
Interesting Tidbits- Just as hummingbirds are attracted more to red flowers, bees prefer blue or yellow. The eyes of bees are adapted to see blue, ultraviolet and yellow wavelengths best. Flowers that need bee pollinators feature colors that attract bees. These flowers are often tubular in shape and frequently contain dotted trails or bee guides that lead bees to the nectar. Other flowers that need bees are disk shaped like those in the aster family. These flowers have a wide area for landing allowing bees to crawl from one spot to the next to collect the nectar and pollen.

Two Different Registry Fixes
Not all registry cleaners are built alike. The ones that are worth getting can save your computer from disaster, and give you hours more high-performance, low-hassle use of your PC than you could imagine. The ones that are not so great could cost you more in time and wasted effort than if you had never used them to begin. So, how to identify the good registry cleaners from the bad? Glad you asked.
The Best Registry Fix is the Safest Registry Fix
And the safest registry fix is one with a built-in Backup and Restore feature. The Windows registry is a tricky place, and it's changing all the time. Even with the best registry repair software in place, the actions taken to fix registry problems could inadvertently pose unexpected other problems.
That's why you always want to be able to restore your system back to the way it was before any attempts at conducting a registry fix had been implemented. You can always try again from that safe place, instructing your registry cleaner to take slightly different actions in certain circumstances, thereby producing different (and hopefully improved) results.
But even if your second (or third or fourth) attempt at a registry fix doesn't complete work, there's nothing to be concerned about so long as you can always restore your system to a previously backed up state.
Registry cleaners featuring Automated Backups are the best of the best, as you don't even have to remember to give the Backup command each time before you begin a scan.
How to Registry Fix It Right
Another pair of features the more useful and user-friendly registry cleaners offer are threat level indicators and suggestions of registry fixes.
As with registry cleaners, not all registry errors are built alike. Different errors can cause different degrees of difficulty for your computer. Some problems are just annoying, others are downright fatal. That's why registry cleaners that list, alongside each flagged item, a threat level assessment, assessing the risk each error poses to your PC, thereby helping you prioritize which errors to fix now and which can wait.
Other registry cleaners will describe the error in some degree of depth, suggesting what may have caused as well, in cases, as what can be done about it. Registry cleaners that have both of these features – threat assessments and registry fix suggestions – are, again, the best of the best.
Other Features That Make For a Grade 'A' Registry Fix
In addition to those mentioned above, another feature that stands out as invaluable in any choice of registry cleaner is a Scheduler. T o be able to schedule registry scans to run automatically at specific dates and times or regular intervals, without you ever needing to remember them, initiate them, or even be aware of it happening, is a convenience that can add years to your computer's life as well as yours.

5 Patriotic Lures to Fish with This 4th of July
What better way to celebrate the 4th of July than by going fishing?
Not patriotic enough for you on Independence Day? Then try using patriotic lures.
Yes, there are plenty of lures out there you can fish with on this 4th of July.
Here are 5 of them to try:
Patriotic Fishing Gift for Him
These little jewels are handmade out of bottle caps, silicone skirting and glass beads.
Add on the red, white and blue spinners, and you'll be flying Old Glory with every cast.
We read the reviews, purchasers loved them. However, there wasn't any mention of if they attracted the fish.
National Guard
There's nothing more patriotic than the military on the Fourth of July.
This Rapala was painted special in honor of the National Guard. And from head to tail, it looks like the flag.
It's even got a rattle inside to catch the attention of fish. Or will they think it's gunfire?
On the Fly
Don't want to leave fly anglers out on Independence Day.
This work of art was tied by Yurii Diachenko. Not sure what type of fly this is supposed to mimic.
I wouldn't be surprised if an eagle hatched from it, grabbed the fish and gently dropped it into your hands.
Of course, this patriotic lure sold out on Etsy. Why wouldn't it be?
And the seller says this crankbait is perfect for bass, pike and many other fish. Of course they do!
If they're American fish, they're darn well going to go after this lure.
Tri Color Tails
Finally, a little something for the saltwater anglers out there.
If you'll be celebrating the holiday while along the coast, maybe toss out this bucktail dressed hook on the back of a lure. It's supposed to be durable and attract aggressive strikes.
Heck, even foreign fish won't be able to resist the lure of the U.S.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July while you're out fishing.
And remember: No one said these lures would actually attract fish; they're just patriotic. 'Murica!

Food Fight is a 5 reel 9 payline slot by RTG casino games. Food Fight is really an iconic slot that has been around for a good 15 years and is probably one of the most played games at any Real Time Gaming casino software.
Realtime Gaming (RTG) is renowned for the development of fun-filled slots games. One of their most famous slot game is the Food Fight; a 5 reels video slot with 9 pay-line and one progressive jackpot. This food fighting-inspired slot has simple graphics and feature symbols like meatballs, spaghetti, pizza slice, hamburgers, blueberry cake etc. there is a display of classy treats and if you spin right all you get is tastier wins. Although this slot offers nothing spectacular on its visual aesthetic front it dishes out an entertaining and fun set of spins that keeps you immersed in the game.
The slot is a classic-styled game which is colorful and bright with 5 reels and only 9 pay-line. The paucity of its line of payment represents a major disappointment to many pro gamblers but this is not a reason to ruin the whole party.
The best you can win on this game is 6,250 coins, whereas the minimum jackpot is 4,000 coins. The slot caters for bets in both ends and is best suited for all type of players. With a minimum bet of $0.01 and a maximum bet of $5 the slot is more appealing to all including newcomers, but to earn the first jackpot you must bet 45 coins (maximum). There are only 19 winning combinations a number lower that what RTG typically offer. The game lacks an auto play features, no free spins, bonus game, or game multipliers, but the scatter and the wild symbols are present.
The game guarantees breathtaking and exciting experience thanks to its intriguing features. Actually, it will be very wise of you to eat before playing this game because the delicious treat on display will awaken your tasting buds and accelerate your hunger. Imagine going on a gourmet spree and winning awesome grand prizes as you progress, isn't that incredible?
Though this game doesn't offer the latest graphics it has impressive icons which are appetizing to the eye. The sound is also not incredible but the promise of monies to be won makes up for this shortcoming. Its screen is incredibly colorful and this stands out as one of the major merits. The virtual food fight might fail to impress you but you will have a lot to enjoy in terms of the winnings.
On the downside, the slot is not bold and innovative on its design front since it features simple 2D symbols which are disappointing to pro gamblers.
Food Fight is the case of "do not judge the book by its cover". On the first look, the game is boring and the design and graphics are not appealing, but the moment you play the game you will immediately change your opinion.
Overall, the game is truly enjoyable and its 9 pay lines make it easy to play since it's uncomplicated. It's the perfect slot game for newbies in the online casino world. Hurry up and get the best out of this delicious and unique slot machine which is available online for free. You can actually practice before placing any real bet and get firsthand experience as you gear up for huge prizes.

The importance of laws whether they are those that govern the class, the school or the country are consistently reinforced throughout the school day, when dealing with behaviour and through school assemblies. At the start of the school year, each class is involved in developing their own set of 'rules' thus enabling pupils to engage in how decisions and laws come about under a democratic system.
Pupils are taught the value and reason behind the laws that govern and protect us, the responsibility that this involves and the consequences when laws are broken. Over the year classes look at the importance of laws in their lives and find out more about the legal system in the UK.

Due to an increasing volume of products available on the website, WordPress' database had grown to an unmanageable size directly impacting user experience and website performance. This led to abandoned transactions, negative feedback and drops in sales. Common problems included 5-7s website loading time, very slow search (even up to 2 minutes to see results) and stock issues due to unreliable stock management.
With plans to triple the stock in next few years (up to around 100,000 items), the client asked Nerd Cow to come up with a better solution.

I am glad I am feeling so much better today though my husband felt like he's having a stomach flu. We didn't go anywhere today even not going to Walmart to buy our grocery. We kept ourselves busy watching the Summer Olympics especially the U.S. Swim Team and Women's Volleyball. Aside from that, I painted my toenails and my son Charles, liked it. I have never had my nails done at the salon and I am not planning to. I don't want to spend money where I can do it on my own. Besides, I can save some bucks by doing my nails painted by my self instead of going to the salon.
Anyway, over the last few months now I have been using coupons though not to the extreme on select products like hair care, body washes, and bar soap products. Using coupons gives me the opportunity to try different hair care products. For over the years I have never really liked my curly hair until recently I realized I have beautiful curly hair. I don't need to try expensive products for my hair because I already knew what's best for it. I've been using Garnier Fructis Color Shield Shampoo, and Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner. They are just the perfect pair of my hair care products and are very inexpensive.

It took some money, but they found him. It had not taken long to convince Gennie of the need to find Scott, Gennie's old boyfriend that had been, and still was, a private investigator.
Neither of them had the patience to be content with a simple Google or Facebook search.
Omar was living about a thousand miles away. He had served in a tour in Iraq, one in Afganistan. He had a blog that he had set up, mainly for his family, but Scott couldn't determine if he was doing any other writing worth mentioning.
Reading the blog, let alone finding it, would have been out of the question since it was locked with a password. Getting a hold of that would have cost too much extra to be worth it.
Dust kicked up and clouded behind their car down the long drive to the place they were told was Omar's home. He lived on a peach orchard in the cheerfully hot Sacramento valley.
Michael felt a little tickle of nervousness in his chest the closer they got, tightening his grip on the Jeep's steering wheel. Gennie looked over at him from the passenger seat.
"You going to be okay?"
"I'm not thinking about me."
She looked out the window a long time, watching the trees pass in neatly regimented rows. "I'm going to be okay," she said.
"Omar may be the only person who knows that for sure."
They continued slowly down the drive. Michael would accelerate impatiently only to hear gravel ping the steel plates protecting the undercarriage. Michael slowed down in response, bringing the car down to an agonizing crawl as the farmhouse in the distance grew larger behind the brown fog of dirt and dust.
"Maybe he isn't home," Gennie said.
"He's home. See the car in the driveway?"
"Whatever he knows or doesn't know, honey, it's going to be okay. I'm going to be okay."
No, Michael thought, it wouldn't be. The thought of Gennie's death was like cup of briney olive oil, impossible to swallow and keep down.
"There's a difference between knowledge and power," she muttered, almost to herself. Michael figured he must be giving off a "let's end the conversation" vibe.
A man came out of the house holding a cell phone to his ear. Michael thrilled at the idea that this might be Omar. It was strange, he had learned, to see people he had known after a very long time, even if he had known them well. Somehow there was always something about them foreign, strange, and off-putting at first. After all, he mused, you don't really know the new person they've become. You have to start all over again.
He took a good look at the man. He looked to be about the right age. If it was Omar, his stocky frame had grown a little, mostly in horizontal directions. The man hung up his cell phone and put it in the pocket of his dusty jeans.
Michael parked and made to get out of the car. This close there was no mistaking his old friend. The thrill of seeing him bubbled up in his chest and he felt an overpowering desire to shout and run to him and give him a big hug. He resisted, but still wore a big smile on his face, suddenly forgetting why they were there.
He got out of the car, smiling big, and holding out a hand in eager greeting. But Omar's look slowed him down. Whatever enthusiasm Omar might have shared at seeing an old friend was hidden behind a look of meloncholly that threatened to set panic loose in Michael's chest. His eyes were fixed solidly on Gennie, his mouth slightly agape.
The moustache was a little off-putting too.
It took Michael only a moment to piece together the reason for the look. What he couldn't place was the feeling behind it, staring at her as he was as though he were looking into the face of death itself.
Omar, it's Michael. Do you remember me?"
Omar said nothing, only looked at Gennie, winced, and then rubbed his face. Michael thought he heard the man mutter something to himself, though he couldn't make it out. When his brown face peered out from behind his hands he looked them both over. He smiled politely.
"Michael!" he said. The two men clasped hands and then embraced. They laughed together.
"This is my wife Gennie."
"Of course," said Omar. He shook her hand. At this, Michael's stomach dropped into a bottomless pit in his heart. Everything went quiet.
"You remember," Michael said.
"How could I forget. That was the first time. Come in, both of you. It's hot out. I have some limeade inside. It's too bad Lori isn't here. I'd introduce you."
They followed him into the farm house. It was built small and tight, for a time when smaller mortgages had more value than a few extra square feet.
"What have you been up to these past few years?" Omar asked over his shoulder as he stuck his nose in the fridge.
"Things have been, well, difficult."
"Yes," he said, pulling out a pitcher of lemonade. "Yes. Life kicks you in the ass."
Just then Michael noticed something strange about Omar's arm. It didn't exactly seem to be his, though he used it well enough that he carried the illusion off rather well.
"What happened there?" Michael had to stop himself from mentioning the war or anything they had learned about Omar before coming to visit him.
"Iraq. IED. You know the story." Omar talked about amputation like it was just another item he had seen in the news; something that didn't impact him in any direct way.
Omar sat down accross from Michael at the table, looking him square in the eye for the first time since there arrival. There was something both cool and sad in the man's look that made him seem older. Strange, Michael thought, that I had ever gone to school with this man, old before his time.
"You came here to ask me something," said Omar.
Michael looked at Gennie, nodded, and took a deep breath.
"Gennie has cancer. I hoped . . . We had hoped, you could tell me something about . . ." Was he really going to bring it out, admit the insane theory this entire visit was premised on? Michael reached into his back pocket, pulling out the folded pages of the story Omar had written all those years ago.
He put it out on the table in front of Omar, spreading it out and smoothing the corners. Omar picked it up and furrowed his brow, looking it over it while his guests allowed their limeade to sweat in the summer heat.
"I came, Omar, because I wanted to know how this ends. I have to know why you refused to finish the story. Could you finish it?"
Omar passed the story back accross the table, taking a long drink from his own glass. He nodded. "I could finish it. I don't suppose it would do any good to tell you that you don't really want to know how it ends, that knowing won't help you change the result."
Michael exhaled, realizing that his friend wasn't about to accuse him of being mad, but was nevertheless resistant.
"I won't argue with you Michael. I've spent enough time fighting my enemies. Life's too short to fight my friends. I know how it ends, Michael." He gave Gennie a long, sad, look.
A cold, tight feeling took hold of Michael's chest, taking his breath.
"You will miss him," he said ot her. "You will ache for him. But you should know that he loved you before he had any reason to believe you existed. You will move on after he is gone, and be happy."
Michael tried to stand, but could not. His arm burned with pain. He could hear the sound of sirens moving towards the house, and realized that Omar had been on the phone with 9-1-1 when they arrived.
Omar turned to look him in the eye, and grabbed him affectionately by the neck."This is how it ends, old friend."

چکیده انگلیسی
For an organization to create optimal value from its investment in projects there must be a clear link between the outputs created by the projects and the requirements of the organization's business strategy. This means that organizations that have a structure in place for aligning the project deliverables with their organizational goals will be better placed to realize their investment in projects, and achieve the value defined by their business strategies. This paper examines existing research, ideas and concepts of project governance and enterprise project management, and offers a framework to build on current theory development and practice. Synthesizing existing literature of project/program management, governance and portfolio management, this paper proposes four key elements to improve the performance of projects and hence create value for organizations. These four elements are (1) portfolio management: focused on selecting the right projects and programs to support the organization's strategy, and terminating ones that no longer contribute to the business success of the organization; (2) project sponsorship: providing the direct link between the executive and the project or program manager, focused on the whole project lifecycle; (3) Project Management Office (PMO): providing oversight and strategic reporting capabilities; (4) projects and program support: the effective support and management of projects and programs are the measures of an effective governance system. The purpose of the framework described in this paper is to provide guidance to organizations in the development of effective project governance to optimize the management of projects.

Drug Interactions With Boceprevir
Related MultimediaClick on an icon to view.
Methadone and Buprenorphine
Taking boceprevir with methadone or buprenorphine could increase or decrease the levels of these medicines in your body. Your healthcare provider will likely monitor you more closely if you take methadone or buprenorphine with boceprevir and adjust your dose if needed.
Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
Combining boceprevir with efavirenz may result in lower blood levels of boceprevir, possibly decreasing its effectiveness. It is recommended that these medications not be used together.
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) Inhibitors
P-glycoprotein is a protein found in the body. One of its roles is to help remove substances, such as medications, out of the tissues so they can be excreted through the urine or feces. Pgp helps remove boceprevir from the body. Medications known as Pgp inhibitors decrease the activity of Pgp.
Thus, taking boceprevir with one of these Pgp inhibitors causes boceprevir to be removed more slowly, potentially increasing the amount of boceprevir in your body and increasing your risk for serious side effects. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor you more closely for side effects if you take boceprevir with a Pgp inhibitor.
Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors (PDE5 Inhibitors)
Taking boceprevir with a PDE5 inhibitor may increase the level of the PDE5 inhibitor in your body, increasing your risk for potentially serious side effects. Talk to your healthcare provider before taking these medications together. PDE5 inhibitors should not be taken with boceprevir when they are being used to treat pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the blood vessels of the lungs).
You should not take boceprevir if you take pimozide. Taking these medications together may increase the risk for heart arrhythmias (an abnormal heart rhythm). Talk to your healthcare provider about this potential interaction before taking these drugs together.

Definition of the noun Alprazolam
What does Alprazolam mean as a name of something?
noun - plural: -
- Category:en:DrugsAn antianxiety drug 8-chloro-1-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]benzodiazepine
- hypernyms: anxiolytic
- synonyms: xanax, Xanax
Alprazolam: A triazolobenzodiazepine agent with anxiolytic, sedative-hypnotic and anticonvulsant activities. Alprazolam binds to a specific site distinct from the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid binding site on the benzodiazepine-GABA-A-chloride ionophore receptor complex located in the limbic, thalamic and hypothalamic regions of the central nervous system. This binding causes an allosteric modification of the receptor and enhances the affinity of GABA to the receptor leading to an increase in the frequency of chloride-channel opening events. This leads to an increase in chloride ion conductance, neuronal hyperpolarization, inhibition of the action potential and leads to a decrease in neuronal excitability.
- also known as Xanax

HOUSTON, Texas — A mother from the Spring, Texas area recently created some buzz online when news broke that she and her children had been kicked out of a local pizzeria for changing her baby's diaper at a table in the restaurant's dining room.
Miranda Sowers said she took her infant daughter to the restroom of the Brother's Pizza Express in Spring, but she was disappointed to discover that they didn't have changing tables, according to KHOU.
That's when she decided to change her baby's diaper on the chair next to her dinner table.
"I thought you know what I've got my own changing pad, she's tiny, she fits right here on the chair," Sowers said to KHOU.
But the employees on duty at the time claim she wasn't quick or quiet. Bessa Lala, whose family owns the restaurant, said they were very surprised when it happened. Bessa's brother Donny, the manager on duty at the time, said customers were very upset and they received numerous complaints.
The staff at the restaurant brought Sower's food out in "to go" container and asked them to leave.Sowers told KHOU that she filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Apparently she did not mean to create a big stink [no pun intended], but she feels she has a right to change her baby's diaper where and when the need should occur.
Texas conservative talk radio show host John Walton, host of Houston based Walton & Johnson Show, disagrees with Sowers.
"I support breastfeeding in public, but this is not the same thing. Not even close. There's no E Coli in breast milk."
This begs the question: is this a sanitation issue or a violation against a mother's right to raise her child?

Tigercatatonia loves to cover the business aspect of the CFL, especially merchandise sales.
The Edmonton Sun has a decent article about the new signature jerseys driving merchandise sales Unsurprisingly, it will probably be mostly in Saskatchewan.
Last year the Riders did a record $13 million in business.
"That's just from the four stores we operate — $13 million," said Mark Habicht, the director of retail operations.
For the last decade they've had 50%-70% of the league merchandise sales.
"We've pushed as high as 70% but usually we're in the 50% to 60% range," he said.
Edmonton sells a lot less merch than the Riders:
The Eskimos are a long way back of Saskatchewan's $13 million in merchandise last year.
"We came in just under a million," said Rhodes.
The Eskimos ordered significantly less stock than Saskatchewan — only
800 jerseys in all. The team has averaged about 4,000 jersey sales a
year recently.
Interestingly the Ticats have reported a million dollars in merchandise sales in previous years so Hamilton must be close to Edmonton. Of course the Ticats under Bob Young have been pretty good at offering a good selection of merchandise.
What's a little sad is that the stadium problems have no doubt really hurt merchandise sales for the Ticats. If everything went as planned this year (and the team was better) the Cats would have had an awesome year for merchandise sales.

EVENT DATE: Mar 02, 2011
On march 2nd, I'll have my 21st Birthday. And instead of presents or other stuff, I would like it if you guys, my friends, loved ones, tweeps etc could help me raise money for UNICEF.
Children are our future, they're the Presidents, sales-worker, managers, researchers, artists, heroes etc of tomorrow. They're also among the most vulnerable of us. They need proper guidance and a safe and stable enviornement to grow in.
I believe that every child should have a fair shot at discovering and unfolding their future. And more immediate I believe that no child should have to die because of preventable diseases, unsafe drinking water or hunger. They should be free of those burdens, those chains to become that next President or what ever it is that's in store for them and their talents. Together we can realize this but only if we act.
I have everything I truly need. I have a roof over my head, clean and safe drinking water, health care, plenty of food, a family, friends and acces to education. Millions of kids don't have that luxury, they never got to be a kid, they won't get to explore their talents and opportunities in a safe and stable enviornment. But they deserve that chance and I believe that we owe it to them, to do whatever we can.
I believe that UNICEF is that chance for these Children. Through the promoting and organizing of education, awareness, shelter, medical care and food. They're making good progress to giving every child a chance at a happy and bright future. To make sure no child has to to die of preventable causes.
It would be wonderful if you could help me in anyway that's possible. Whether it be through donation or spreading the word. I thank you in advance!

I have a tendency to get distracted sometimes and find myself wandering around the internet looking at all sorts of lovely riding equipment etc. Sometimes I see photos and wonder if the models and photographers have ever seen a horse. Here are some good ones from the site I was looking at today.
How to warp a tree in 17 minutes or less.
The most logical thing to do when you see a saddle facing the wrong way on the floor. Don't dust it off and put it on the stand, CRUSH IT!
Yes, I can totally picture myself riding in these lovely breeches: eyes forward, shoulders back, heels dow— err? What?
Presenting – the amazing vanishing child!
I will give them this: their stuff is beautiful and should I ever win the lottery, I have a few pieces I would snatch up in a hurry, but a little part of me dies every time I see a beautiful saddle being smooshed. Its one thing for clueless fashion designers to have equipment and styling blunders, but I do expect better from an equestrian company.
Here are some high fashion ones I found just to round out the humor of today:
I snapped this one from a magazine a few months back. Not sure what colour you would call this, but they might want to either wash this poor boy or take him to the vet. Spray-paint isn't a good look outside of Halloween. The model looks a little dazed, perhaps she DOES know a thing about horses and thinks this alien species is about to abduct her.
YES! Anyone else confused why this horse has a bit in its mouth without any reins? Hmm. perhaps this photo is in shades of gray for that reason.
And for all these years I thought the stepstool was just for mounting – nope, it rides smooth like a Tennessee Walker!
I think we all can hear the thoughts of this horse "Flying pink strips of DEATH!"
Thank goodness for photoshop! Do I even need to make a snarky comment here?
The only way this story makes sense: a woman grieves at the funeral of her sister who suffered life ending injuries due to the free-lunging fiasco (see previous photo). So she goes into retail therapy and blows all her money on expensive handbags and dresses for the funeral and cannot afford a personal fan. She relishes the breeze as her beloved Mr. Snuffles whips by to snatch the floral arrangements and graze on lush cemetery grass.
That's all for now, I could spend days with these things. Let me know if you want more!
