14 Things No One Will Tell You About Your Pregnancy Fashion Routine, But I Will
The moment you find out you're pregnant, you're bombarded with questions. What time of the year will I give birth? Will the baby look like me? Will the pregnancy be difficult? What kind of baby shower should I have? And finally (and more so if you're fashion forward), you'll wonder about your new pregnancy wardrobe. However, rarely does the fantasy of maternity wear mimic the reality, as there are things no one will tell you about pregnancy fashion that can be nothing if not jarring. Thankfully, well, I'm here.
Pregnancy changes the rules regarding your wardrobe (along with pretty much everything and anything else) because your body is constantly changing shape. It grows fast — sometimes at the boobs, or the legs, or the butt, and most definitely the stomach — so just when you've grown somewhat used to one change, another change occurs. Some people actually lose weight their first trimester, especially if they develop hypermesis gravidarum (that thing where you puke incessantly and is basically hell). Some women develop rashes and need clothes that won't aggravate their now overly-sensitive skin.
In other words, we all basically react in different ways to pregnancy, and that'll affect what you decide to wear throughout your pregnancy journey. If you've just found out you're pregnant and want to know a bit more about what I mean, read on.
You'll Want To Buy All The Cute Maternity Clothes (Until You See The Price Tag)
Whether you're looking forward to wearing them or dreading it, maternity clothes will become a necessity at some point (since most shirts don't come with extra room for a giant belly). This is even more important when you need professional maternity clothes for work. That said, you'll go from wanting to buy it all (because some maternity wear can be downright adorable) to only wanting a few essential mix-n-match items when you see how much companies up-charge for these outfits.
You'll Spend The First Couple Months Just Wearing What You Usually Wear
While you might want to jump the gun and start buying up maternity dresses right away, you won't. There's really no point in the first trimester, usually. Even if you start to show early, you can always turn some regular clothes into maternity clothes with a few snips and tucks.
You'll Try To Wear Third-Trimester Outfits Too Early And Feel Discouraged
You might splurge on a cute maternity outfit in your first trimester, but you just won't be filling it out the way you would toward those last few months. As such, you might feel a bit disappointed at how long it's taking your baby-to-be to grow and show. Don't rush it. Focus on making some of your regular outfits pregnancy-friendly, for now, and save your cash.
You'll Try To Stick To Leggings, Yoga Pants, And Other Stretchy Bottoms
At least at first, you don't need to really wear maternity pants. Yoga pants, leggings, or anything else with an elastic band is just as efficient. Check out our suggestions for other alternatives to maternity pants, too.
You'll Probably Want To Show Off Your Maternity Cleavage (And That's OK)
There are no hard and fast rules about maternity fashion. We all just kind of make it up as we go along. Some of us will be pleased at our newfound boobage and it's cool if you want to show it off. There might be some haters, but you know what? Screw 'em.
Most Of Your Bras Will Become Completely Obsolete...
Unless you've got insufficient glandular tissue (meaning your breasts might not grow during pregnancy and your milk supply will likely be low), your chest is going to grow. And grow. And grow. And probably grow some more. This means all those bras you've accumulated over the years will be of no use.
...As Will All Of Your Cute Underwear
Thongs are not your friend during pregnancy. Some folks might dig it, and they can work for a limited amount of time if you're looking to show off some sexy lingerie for a night, but in general, they aren't practical. Between your ever-expanding waist (and hips), and the amount of discharge that comes with being pregnant — plus the potential for pregnancy hemorrhoids — you'll want to wear large, comfortable, cotton panties most of the time.
Friends Will Want To Give You Their Maternity Clothes (But You'll Want To Say "No" So You Can Buy The Cute Stuff You Have Your Eye On)
It's easy to take on hand-me-downs, especially when you're busy saving for your future baby, but you won't always want to. Accepting these palpable acts of kindness means not having a real reason to buy new clothes, and chances are there will be at least be a couple of items you're itching to purchase yourself. Then again, you can always compromise and accept your friends' goods while also using a subscription maternity wear service.
You'll Eventually Graduate To Maternity Jeans With The Huge Belly Band And Have Mixed Feelings
Once your belly is big enough, you'll want to get some jeans with a band that goes all the way up to the bottom of your boobs. It will take some getting used to. Trust me.
You might miss your old hip huggers, too, but you'll get through it.
You'll Buy A Few Belly Bands Because One Will Itch, One Will Pinch, And The Last Will Feel Just Right
Belly bands are a must, especially when you're late into your pregnancy. Your back will thank you later. But there's a science to it.
Your belly might already itch because that's what happens when your skin stretches out to seemingly unnatural lengths. Some belly bands might be wholly uncomfortable, or they might poke in weird places. Just keep trying and you'll find one that works for you.
If You Live In A Warm Climate, You'll Eventually Just Wear Flip Flops Everywhere (Because Shoes And Pregnancy Don't Mix)
In case no one has told you yet, your feet often expand during pregnancy (and chances are they won't shrink back to their pre-pregnant size). This sucks, of course, because your shoe collection may become obsolete. You'll also have trouble finding shoes that are comfortable while pregnant. Flip flops are your friend if you live in warm weather areas, though Toms are a close second.
You'll Find One Super Comfortable (Warm) Outfit And Wear It Everywhere, Everyday (Because Laundry And Pregnancy Don't Mix)
Your pregnant body doesn't always have the energy to do laundry all the time. You might start employing some mom beauty hacks — like constantly spraying perfume on your favorite maternity outfit — and hey, that's OK. We know better than to judge.
You'll Keep Wearing Some Of Your Maternity Clothes After The Baby Is Born...
You just gave birth. You don't have time to go shopping. It's cool, you'll keep wearing those cute free-flowing tops.
...Until You Finally Get Tired Of People Asking You When You're Due
Folks have no business asking you about your body, in general, but just because we know that doesn't mean everyone else does. Some people will ask you (without batting an eye) if you're due soon, because as you may or may not know, the pregnancy belly doesn't disappear right away. In fact, for some of us, it kind of remains with us for years after. You'll get sick of people asking you if you're having a boy or a girl or how many weeks you are and then you'll throw all your maternity duds in a bag and donate them to your next pregnant friend.

MH - Change Coming For Papal Masses?
by Our Word
As you know, I'm a junkie when it comes to all things liturgical, and also on papal news. So naturally, I couldn't resist this story, by the always interesting Sandro Magister, that combines the two – talk of a possible change at the Vatican regarding Pietro Marini, Papal Master of Ceremonies, which segues into a story on how TV covered the death of John Paul, papal interregnum, and election of Benedict. (Via Matthew at Holy Whapping. And yes, Matthew, I think you'd make an excellent replacement!)

Did you like last week's chart toppers? Well, you're in luck because the same ones are back on the summits again.
Kenny Chesney's "Get Along" spends its second consecutive week as the most played country song, while Luke Combs' This One's for You is the No. 1 Billboard country album for its third week in a row.
Alas, there's not a lot of new titles to rejoice over — just one album and three songs.
Chris Lane's Laps Around the Sun makes its chart debut at a healthy No. 8, accompanied by four returning albums — Johnny Cash's The Greatest: The Number Ones (back in at No. 40), Eric Church's Chief (No. 45), Midland's On the Rocks (No. 48) and Kelsea Ballerini's Unapologetically (No. 48).
Making their first appearance on the song's chart are Michael Ray's "One That Got Away" (No. 56), Randy Houser's "What Whiskey Does" (No. 58) and Dylan Schneider's "How Does It Sound" (No. 60). Tyler Farr's "Love by the Moon" rebounds at No. 57.
Completing the Top 5 albums array, in descending order, are Jason Aldean's Rearview Town, the eponymous Dan + Shay, the equally eponymous Kane Brown and Chris Stapleton's Traveller.
The No. 2 through No. 5 songs are Jake Owen's "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)," Dan + Shay's "Tequila," Brett Young's "Mercy" and Combs' "One Number Away."

Cantor's Corner: Solar Energy Metering Changes
Presented by Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel
by Gregg Cantor Resident Pro, The Approved Home Pro Show
President, Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel
With the change in energy metering coming up on March 31, 2018, time is running out on getting the best value out of a new solar system for your home.
Right now, you can bank solar production at 2 to 1 kilowatts produced. When the change in metering is made, you will only get 1 for every 2 kilowatts produced. That means if you add solar after this change, you'll face larger systems with additional solar panels, higher equipment cost to zero out your power bill, and the return on investment will take longer.
With the rainy season coming, that's even more incentive to go solar if you need to replace your roof or do repairs.
My advice is to consider hiring one company to do the job and simplify the process. There are contractor's who do electrical, roofing and solar all under one contract, including pulling permits, which streamlines the process.
The other benefit of hiring one company, is they handle the sequencing of all the trades and warranty the work. If you want to make the March 31, 2018 deadline and free yourself of runaway energy bills, don't wait. Get started now!

If you've never played laser tag before, it can be intimidating, especially if games aren't really your thing. But if you're going with a group of coworkers for team-building or it's your BFF's 40th birthday party, you might have to make the best of it. As a newbie, you can't expect to go in and get the highest score, but there are some strategies you can use to avoid embarrassment and actually have some fun.
1. Wear Dark Clothing & Comfortable Shoes
Dark clothing will make you harder to spot, so you won't be an easy target. Wearing comfortable shoes, like sneakers or boots, is also important because you'll be moving quickly from place to place–not running.
2. Learn the Layout Fast
The faster you can get a grasp of the layout, the better. Look for spots that will give you a good vantage point but will also provide you some cover. Upper levels are great for this, and they can give you a chance to catch your breath.
3. Don't Stay in the Same Spot
It's boring to stay in the same spot the entire time, though. If it's been a while since you've seen anyone cross your field of vision, it's time to move. You can't score any points if you never see anyone to tag. Plus, standing in one place makes you an easier target.
4. Move Sideways
When you're on the move, walk sideways for the greatest protection. If someone takes aim at you, turning sideways is a good strategy in this situation, too. It makes it harder for them to hit your sensors.
5. Take Advantage of Easy Targets
If you're new to laser tag, you may have better luck taking advantage of any kids or other inexperienced players running around. They'll be easier targets than going after your coworker who plays laser tag every weekend.
6. Don't Try to Aim
You have a better chance at tagging someone if you fire rapidly in the direction of someone's sensors than trying to take aim first. In the time it takes you to aim, the other person can tag you.
7. Have Fun
The most important strategy is to have fun. Tag some novices to get your score up, then go after some more experienced players and see how you do. The more you get into it, the more fun you'll have than just sitting in a corner hoping no one sees you.

This is a brutally moving and unflinching novel that takes the idea of Moral Hazard from insurance and finance and parlays it into her own crisis which centres on the moral hazard of not euthanasing her deteriorating husband.
Almost a novella in length Jennings writes epigramtically in this timely work. Well worth reading in the current climate as a way into grasping through literary fiction the structures of feeling that the bewildering temporal world of CDOs and other derivatives present: a sort of Alzheimic perpetual present that defers and displaces any tallying up of obligation, consequences and meeting of debts.
It also provides definitions such as -
Hellishly complicated, computer-generated financial contracts, derivatives are the brainchildren of those maths pointy-heads known in Wall Street lingo, as "quants" – from the words "quantitative analysis," I'd guess. Derivates and the regulation of them were particularly contentious in the early nineties, although, as one old-timer commodities trader told me, sniffily, they'd been around, in one form or another, since the Sumerians. "Once upon a time, it was commodities, then futures, now derivatives," he'd opined, delicately shooting his cuffs. "It's all structured finance. It's all aimed at neutralizing risk by parceling it up, selling it to someone else. Quanting around, nothing new in that.(5)
Cathy finds company-expert Mike to give her quick lessons in understanding the novel financial products:
"The mathematics can be awesome. You have to admire the mathematics. And they can be an excellent risk-management tool . . ." He trailed off, obviously wondering whether he should continue. "Well, it helps to look at derivates like atoms. Split them one way and you have heat and energy – useful stuff. Split them another way, and you have a bomb. You have to understand the subtleties."
Understand the subtleties. God is in the details. Cracks me up (7-8).

In this study we have performed a comprehensive genotoxicological survey along the 900 rkm of the Sava River. In total, 12 sites were chosen in compliance with the goals of GLOBAQUA project dealing with the effects of multiple stressors on biodiversity and functioning of aquatic ecosystems. The genotoxic potential was assessed using a complex battery of bioassays performed in prokaryotes and aquatic eukaryotes (freshwater fish). Battery comprised evaluation of mutagenicity by SOS/umuC test in Salmonella typhimuriumTA1535/ pSK1002. The level of DNA damage as a biomarker of exposure (comet assay) and biomarker of effect (micronucleus assay) and the level of oxidative stress as well (Fpg-modified comet assay) was studied in blood cells of bleak and spirlin (Alburnus alburnus/ Alburnoides bipunctatus respectively). Result indicated differential sensitivity of applied bioassays in detection of genotoxic pressure. The standard and Fpg-modified comet assay showed higher potential in differentiation of the sites based on genotoxic potential in comparison with micronucleus assay and SOS/umuC test. Our data represent snapshot of the current status of the river which indicates the presence of genotoxic potential along the river which can be traced to the deterioration of quality of the Sava River by communal and industrialwastewaters. The major highlight of the study is that we have provided complex set of data obtained from a single source (homogeneity of analyses for all samples).
- Managing the effects of multiple stressors on aquatic ecosystems under water scarcity (EU-603629)
- This study represents a part of activities within the Projects funded by theMinistry of Education, Science and TechnologicalDevelopment of the Republic of Serbia and bilateral project Serbia and Austria: Implementation ofMicrobial Source Tracking (MST) method for assessment of faecal pollution in the Sava River and relation (potential relationship) to the presence of genotoxic agents.

Roast chicken with potatoes are a Greek staple. You can use either orange juice or lemon juice, lemon is more traditional.
Great recipe! I used whole chicken legs instead of the whole chicken, baked the potatoes alone for 30 minutes, then placed the chicken legs on top and baked the whole dish for 60 more minutes. The Greek oregano makes the difference. I will definitely make it again and again. - 21 Apr 2014 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
Made it twice and am getting adicted to it .. Excellent recipe - 27 Oct 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
So delicious. I didn't have a whole chicken so I used boneless skinless chicken breasts that I always have on hand so I shortened the cooking time accordingly but otherwise I followed the recipe and it came out great. I will definitely make this again and next time I plan to add some carrots to the baking dish with the potatoes. Simple for a night when I don't feel like standing over the stove yet still delivers on great flavor! - 15 Feb 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)

Lacrosse: Notre Dame-West Haven rolls past Law
MILFORD — Notre Dame lacrosse coach A.J. Alessi felt his team might need some time to click offensively this season. Having lost some key offensive players, Alessi could not have seen the sort of production Notre Dame has shown early in the season.
Just two games into the 2018 campaign, the Green Knights have scored 29 goals, including a bunch more in a 17-4 Southern Connecticut Conference interdivisional victory over Jonathan Law in Milford Wednesday afternoon.
"We did not have many guys coming back offensively," Alessi said. "We knew we had some good players, but we thought it might take some time to get that experience. We have come along quickly."
The Green Knights (2-0) had 11 players in the points column and were led by senior Benjamin Hassen, who scored three goals and added an assist. Vincent Cleary and Devin Napoli each had two goals and an assist, while Cam Ellis and Nicholas D'Angelo each scored twice.
"This year is different," Alessi said. "We don't have that one guy yet. We are very spread out. A lot of guys are contributing. A lot of guys have scored."
The Green Knights took control of the game early, scoring seven times in the opening quarter, including four in the first 3 minutes, 46 seconds of the game. Notre Dame led 7-1 after one quarter and 10-1 at the half.
Justin Shanley got the Green Knights going just 1:10 into the contest, before Ellis increased the lead to two goals 1:05 later. Napoli kept up the pressure and scored from in front 32 seconds after. When Sean Nusdeo cruised in and fired a rocket to the right side, Notre Dame led 4-0 less than four minutes into the contest.
"We need to get better every day," Law coach Mike Forget said. "It is a long season. We do not have a lot of depth. Guys are running out there full games. We do not change a lot. You look over there (Notre Dame bench) and they are moving kids in and out. It takes a lot of conditioning for these kids to be able to stay out there. We will be back at it."
Goals by John Panda and Jared Gallbronner increased the margin to six goals, before Law finally got on the board with 2:55 left in the opening quarter when Hayden Hulme scored off an assist from Cole Egersheim.
Egersheim had a solid game for Law, finishing with two goals and two assists, while Hulme had two goals and an assist.
The Green Knights kept the pressure on and took a 7-1 lead with 14 seconds to go in the opening quarter when Gallbronner set up Hassen in front.
Notre Dame did an excellent job throughout the game controlling the ball with a precise passing game. That possession resulted in three more goals in the second quarter for a 10-1 advantage.
D'Angelo scored twice in less than two minutes for a 9-1 lead, before a goal by Hassen off an assist from Napoli with 1:48 left in the half had the Green Knights in position for their second win of the season.
After numerous penalties in a season-opening win over McMahon, the Green Knights were a lot more disciplined against Law, not taking a penalty.
"We came into the game focused," Alessi said. "It's been a crazy week. We cleaned things up from our first game. In the last game, we spent the whole game with penalties. Today, we were more disciplined and did not take any."
Notre Dame got the lead up to 13-1 on goals by Ellis, Alexander Hird and Hassen, before Egersheim got Law on the board in the second half with 6:20 to go in the third quarter.

Individual configuration Gamification "Bet Game App"
The World Championship Bet App was great and met with great enthusiasm. For the new soccer season it would be great, if you provide us a individual configuration possibility. So we can add games, logos, headlines,... in this gamification app by our own.
Hey Noah, fortunately we build the app in a generic way so that we can extend it to be configurable for other events in the future. We would need to put some more effort into it, but it's something that we are definitely planing to do.

Voivod - Nothingface (1989) - Very technical and diversified - 89% (06/10/10)Par kluseba dans Progressive Metal le 27 Août 2011 à 00:52
This album is Voivod's progressive metal masterpiece and maybe their most diversified and technical album. Every fan of this band that I know considers this album as a brilliant masterpiece and one of the top three album of the Quebeckers and so do I. It is a shame that this album is not available on CD nowadays and I hope that Away's promises will come true and that he will rerelease the old albums with some bonus material.
The album is somehow divided in two parts: A very catchy and easily appreciable first part and a more technical and complicated second part.
The first half starts with a very floating and dreamy atmosphere that makes you travel on the waves of space and time during the short introduction and the first song "The unknown knows". This song is progressive but still heavy and straight and has an amazing chorus and is like nothing you have ever listened before. There are more details in this song than other progressive or science-fiction influenced bands put into a whole album.This high level continues throughout the next songs. I have to mention the Pink Floyd cover song "Astronomy domine" which is even darker and eerier than the original version. I doesn't appear as a cover version at all and is perfectly integrated in the whole album concept. This song is what I would call "space metal" if such a genre exists and it is an eternal classic in the band's career. This song addicts you the first time you listen to it and drowns you in a really special mood. This song is simply out of this world!
The album is very technical and not always easy to approach in its second half though. A good example for this is the song "X-ray mirror" which is as strange and bizarre as its title. You really have to take your time to discover those songs of the second half and understand all the changes and details within them. But I think that Voivod sadly concentrated too much on the technical and conceptual aspect in some of the songs and forgot about the eerie and floating catchyness of the first four songs. Some songs like "Pre ignition" are really uneasy to listen to and destroy the interesting flow which the first songs elaborated. From a technical or creative point of view, there is not much to argue about though.
All in all, there are the four first perfect songs that make you lose your sense of space and time and travel through a diversified and strange galaxy you have never heard about. The second part is less intense but may impress you with its technically perfect and somehow very intellectual approach.
This album is also a turning point in the band's discography and the beginning of their progressive years. This album leads logically to "Angel rat" which is my favourite album of the band and redefines the definition of progressive rock.« Voivod - Angel Rat (1991) - Close to perfection! - 96% (06/10/10)My first five reviews from the Metal Archives are now on this blog! »

When you're visiting a place it can be hard to decide where to go eat. Do you go and visit old faithfuls and hope they are as good as the last time, try out somewhere recommended by friends, or go somewhere completely new? We opted for the latter, and when the Royal China Club got in touch to see if we're like to enjoy supper with them, we absolutely jumped at the chance!
One of six locations dotted throughout the capital, we headed to the Baker Street restaurant for supper on a rainy Monday, and we were absolutely blown away. The restaurant is an absolute Tardis, with the rear opening out to reveal a huge dining room, decorated with chic lacquered walls. It's known for some of London's best dim sum (we found this out after visiting) and although it was probably half-full when we arrived at 7pm, it was soon absolutely packed with a mix of tourists and locals, business men, families and couples, all enjoying some seriously impressive food.
To start, we opted to share a 1/2 Crispy Duck (£28.80) which came served with hoisin sauce, pancakes, shredded spring onion and cucumber. Truly, it set the tone for the evening – coming to the table steaming, it was shredded in front of us, and we tucked in with gusto.
Full of flavour, with tender meat and crisp skin, we both agreed. it was the best duck we'd tried in a very long time. The portion was generous, and could have easily been a main for the both of us. Since we'd been up since 3am that morning, happily, we were ravenous, so polished off the whole thing.
When it came to choosing our main courses, we were truly spoiled for choice. From traditional dishes to the Uber-luxurious (think abalone and king prawns) it's a menu which will please everyone – we were even impressed by how many vegetarian options there were. The first of the main courses we settled on with the Sautéed Beef with Oyster Sauce (£15.80) which came sizzling to the table.
Slices of tender beef were marinated in oyster sauce, and the accompanying mushrooms were absolutely divine. Super savoury in flavour, and absolutely delicious served alongside a generous bowl of fluffy rice. We definitely over-ordered on the rice front – although absolute perfection, two or three people could easily have enjoyed a portion.
I couldn't resist opting for the Lemon Chicken (£12.80) and I'm so glad I did. It was absolutely incredible – the chick was perfection: moist in the middle with a crisp coating, it was covered in an absolutely divine lemon sauce with was equal parts sweet and sour. This was serious comfort food, and I pretty much polished the plate off single-handedly.
From the restaurant itself, to the staff and the food, our evening was absolutely flawless, and we're already plotting a return trip!
Thank you so much the Royal China Club for having us, you can see the whole menu here.

In the winter, we love to study cold weather animals. This activity allows us to start by studying penguins and end by studying our own native birds that stay through the winter.
Near the end of each fall, we collect pine cones to use for different projects throughout the winter. The key to collecting pine cones is to do so on a dry afternoon. Moisture and precipitation can cause the pine cones to close. If you've waited until a wet day, though, you can still open the pine cones with a simple trick. Collect the closed cones and spread them out on a baking sheet. Preheat the oven to about 350 degrees and put the pine cones inside. Closely watch the pine cones. Once they start to dry out they will begin to open. Make sure to keep an eye on them and remove them from the oven once they open.
This project takes a few basic materials that will be easy to purchase at a big box or grocery store.
- 1 pine cone per student
- 2 large Popsicle sticks per student, cut in half
- 2 large googly eyes per student
- 1 baby carrot per student
- 1-2 tablespoons peanut butter per student
- Bowl of light colored bird seed
- Bowl of black chia seeds
- Hot glue
Create the frame of the pine cone bird feeder for each student prior to class. Cut one large Popsicle stick in half and glue to the bottom of the pine cone to create the feet. It helps to have a small cup to place the pine cone in upside down to let the hot glue cool.
Cut the second Popsicle stick in half and glue in the middle of the pine cone to create the wings.
The seeds will be added one type at a time to keep the two colors from mixing too much. First, smooth peanut butter in the front to create the "white belly" of the penguin. Lay the pine cone in the bowl of light colored bird seed and let the student to sprinkle bird seed on the belly of the penguin.
Next apply peanut butter to the back and over the top of the "head" of the penguin. Leave the face area free of peanut butter so you can glue eyes to the pine cone in the next step. Lay the penguin in the black chia seeds and have the student sprinkle chia seeds over the new peanut butter. Try to avoid adding too much peanut butter to the pine cone as it begins to get pretty heavy.
When all of the peanut butter and seeds have been applied, glue on the large googly eyes. The larger eyes will help to avoid having them eaten by the birds. Stick the carrot nose into the pine cone, no glue is needed for the nose.
Set the bird feeders outside near a window so the students can observe the native birds enjoying this winter treat!

The Farmers Union of Wales has called for badger culling licences to be issued to cattle produces to help stem the spread of bovine TB. The call has followed the court of appeal decision to block the progress of the Wales TB Eradication Order 2009 which included legislation for a limited badger cull.
The FUW president, Gareth Vaughan, acknowedged that the assembly government had pledged to press on with its eradication plan but he said that farmers need action on TB now. Speaking at the Royal Welsh Show, he said "we need the assembly government to act immediately and the best way forward is ith the legal cull of badgers carried out under licence". He said that he feared a cull may be some time away and that it is too long for an industry which is suffering terrible hardship.

Chevy Code P1875by Louise Jones
Modern cars have on-board diagnostic computers. The computers store and transmit codes relating to faults sensed by the on-board diagnostic system. Chevy Code P1875 relates to the four-wheel drive low-switch.
Code P1875
In Chevrolet vehicles, code P1875 is given the description "4WD Low Switch Circuit Electrical." A fault has been sensed in the electrical switch circuit for the low setting of the four-wheel drive when this code appears.
Four-Fheel Drive Low
Four-wheel drive low is used when towing a heavy trailer or driving off-road. It is helpful when low-speeds with high torque are useful.
Four-Wheel Drive Low Switch-Circuit Electrical
The problem sensed is within an electrical circuit that connects the Vehicle Control Module to the Transfer Case Control Module, specifically the four-wheel drive low-input of the TCCM. It is possible to test and fix the circuit with the appropriate Chevrolet wiring diagram.

"I think she's the best chair I've served under," Ratliff, a Republican from Pleasant Valley, said of Bahorich, calling his previous statements a "temper tantrum." He tweeted as much in July, he added.
He said he thinks Bahorich, R-Houston, is continuing to shift the board away from its troubled past of infighting and political squabbles. This week, he pointed out, the board spent an entire day discussing how to improve instructional materials as more and more school districts shift from textbooks to digital products.
ON THE AGENDA: On Wednesday, outgoing Commissioner of Education Michael Williams will speak, and Ratliff could introduce an agenda item to require the board to consider more vetting of textbooks before they go into use. Never far from controversy, the instructional materials the board chose again came under fire this year after the mother of a high school freshmen from Katy saw a passage in her son's McGraw-Hill textbook which referred to African slaves as "workers." The online version of the McGraw-Hill book was later changed.
Some board members believe those who oversee the textbook adoption process are forced to spend too much time ensuring they adhere to the state's education standards, called the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, and not enough time ensuring the content is accurate.
State Board of Education member Thomas Ratliff has had a change of heart. After saying he was reconsidering leaving the boardbecause he doubted the new chair Donna Bahorich, a homeschooling champion Gov. Greg Abbott named to the board in June, Ratliff says he was wrong.

Chris King refers to himself as a progressive, not a liberal.
What's the difference?
King told state editors and political reporters on Thursday's annual AP Day that he's for all the liberal things, fairness, opportunity for the neediest among us, but that he wants to accomplish those goals using entrepreneurial values that have made him a successful Orlando businessman
Whatever he calls himself, King said he knows he's got a tough race.In a Democratic field that now hasthree other candidates, King's has minimum name recognition. Getting money is hard.
"Being heard in Florida is always a challenge," he said.
But the only Democratic from Central Florida, King said, he is in the best position to capitalize on the fastest growing region in the state that promises to tip voter registrations in favor of Democrats.
And if he wins the nomination, King said his candidacy will provide a clear choice for Florida voters.
He cited his main goals to be improving access to health care, increasing the amount of affordable housing, free community college and trade school training and supporting small local businesses.
Affordable housing. Merely stopping the annual sweep of existing funds for affordable housing would reinvest money in Florida that would produce jobs and spending. Free education on some levels make the workforce more competitive, giving a boost to the economy.
After more than 20 years of Republican leadership, fresh ideas are needed to make Florida a better place for most residents.
"If you're not wealthy or connected, this can be a very tough state to live," King said.

Hundred of stray dogs were reportedly buried alive in Alxa league, Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Wednesday. A non-government organization uncovered the pit while searching for a lost dog, reports the offical news agency Xinhua.
The organization Home for Stray Animals in Yinchuan found the living dogs in a 5 to 6 meter-deep pit near Wuba Expressway. A woman surnamed Tan, who photographed the scene, and five other friends from the organization saved as many as 20 by pulling them out with ropes. When they returned at 2am Thursday, the pit had been filled and only a few dogs could be seen scrambling about. A number of bodies had been retrieved from the filled pit by 6pm Friday.
The incident triggered public outrage and a post regarding the incident was forwarded more than 18,000 times on the web. The Beijing-based organization wrote to local government demanding an intervention.
The local urban management office denied that the dogs had been buried alive. The animals, they claimed, had only been placed in a pit near a garbage dump temporarily because residents complained that they were biting people and their livestock, causing traffic accidents and transmitting diseases. They will be relocated to a proper place when the administration finds somewhere to rent, the office said.
Officials only found 17 dogs, of which six had died, when they revisited the pit after hearing of the rescuers. The surviving dogs have been moved to a factory yard.
Incidents of animal abuse are starting to make headlines and cause public outcry in China. Dozens of cats were killed and skinned in Beijing in May last year, while in October there was an outcry when dozens of cats were poisoned in the southern city of Nanning.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Jan. 19, 2016) — 3D printing could provide substantial savings to auto manufacturers as well as suppliers and consumers of automotive parts, according to a study by market researchers Frost & Sullivan Inc.
3-D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, involves the process of producing a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, usually by laying down many thin layers of a material in succession.
The application scope of 3-D printing technology is currently restricted to the production of extremely low volume parts and production tooling, Frost noted, due to the high costs of the machinery and raw materials, slow printing speeds and reduced levels of software optimization.
However "with a drop in material and machine prices, advanced software integration and faster printing, 3-D printing could potentially revolutionize automotive production, supply chain and the aftermarket," according to Mountain view-based Frost.
The research firm predicts the technology will generate $4.3 billion from the automotive industry by 2025 as it penetrates automotive production and the aftermarket.
"Even though cheaper raw materials and technological enhancements will boost the uptake of 3-D printers, issues such as patent liability, product defects and patent infringement will persist," said Viroop Narla, research analyst for Frost. "Furthermore, comprehensive training, as well as expensive data and communications systems, will be required to maximize 3-D printers' operational efficiency, decrease data loss, minimize corruption and theft."
Currently, upstart companies are developing 3-D printing technologies and partnering with established companies, such as Ford Motor Co., to develop ways for OEMs and suppliers to print at multiple locations, thereby diminishing waiting periods and overall costs, Frost said. "Ultimately, this technology will also enable users to design and print customized parts, in line with each customer's requirements."
Frost determined that last year, 90 percent of 3-D printing applications in the automotive industry involved prototyping and 10 percent were for production. However, Frost predicts a turnaround in that ratio with a 40-percent drop in price difference of raw materials (including plastics and polymers) used by conventional manufacturing and 3-D printing.
"Innovative materials such as carbon fiber, metal powders and titanium are expected to radically improve the mechanical, chemical and thermal characteristics of printed products," Mr. Narla said. "Additionally, machines with a focus on quality and better manufacturing processes will lower post-processing requirements by generating products with superior tolerances and surface finish details."

Awhile back Nutiva sent me a care package, and one item was coconut flour, which once you use it is easy to bake with. But it is always fun thinking "no way will 1/3 cup flour be enough!". These Pumpkin Coconut Flour Brownies were the answer to my sweet tooth, and more so….the 4 year old went crazy for them! No, they were not husband approved, but I am OK with that. More for the little man and me 😉
Pumpkin Coconut Flour Brownies
- 1/3 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup pure coconut oil, melted
- 2 Tbsp Ener-G Foods Egg Replacer + ¼ cup warm water (*see note)
- ½ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly oil an 8×8″ glass baking pan with coconut oil.
Add coconut flour, cocoa powder, and salt to a mixing bowl, whisk smooth.
In a small bowl, whisk Ener-G and warm water till smooth, let sit for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the pumpkin, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
Add to dry, whisk until smooth.
Scrape into prepared pan, smooth out.
Bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool fully, then slice. Cover tightly.
For best taste, let cool before eating.
Our youngest cannot have eggs, so creating coconut flour recipes is tricky – as so many rely on multiple eggs. The only egg substitute I find that works – and is allergen safe – is powdered Ener-G. If you can have eggs, use 4 whole eggs instead of the Ener-G and water mixture.

African swine fever (ASF) has struck Slovakia for the first time on a backyard farm in a village near the Hungarian border.
"This is the very first case of ASF diagnosed in Slovakia," Jozef Bires, director-general of the State Veterinary and Food Administration, told AFP, adding that it occurred just 470 metres (yards) from the Hungarian border.
The disease was discovered on a farm with four pigs in Košice province, close to the border of Hungary and Ukraine, countries that have both confirmed ASF in earlier years. Hundreds of wild boar in Hungary have also been diagnosed with ASF this year, AFP reported.
All pigs within three kilometers of the outbreak will be culled, Slovakian authorities said, adding that they will establish a three-kilometer protection zone and a 10-kilometer surveillance zone.
According to Pig Progress, since ASF entered Eastern Europe in 2007, the virus has been able to find a way into Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Hungary and Belgium.
Only the Czech Republic kept ASF outbreaks under control and was declared free of ASF again earlier this year. Recent outbreaks in Bulgaria and Poland indicate less hope in keeping this disease from spreading.
For more information on the spread of ASF around the globe, read porkbusiness.com/ASF.

Why does Senator Stockman hate America so much? Tearing food from the mouths of the children of America's defense contractors by buying cheap commie guns? For shame…
Perhaps the US based defense contractors have…UNIONS. So adherence to the gospel of free markets requires them to buy from manufacturers who can pay the peons what they're REALLY worth…(nearly nothing) /vicious sarcasm.
If you separate the joke from all the damage that AKs do to the human condition, it's kinda funny. Kind of like a well-told Holocaust joke, or a pun about slavery.
If you think this is offensive, you should see the methods they use to extract tears from liberals at the factory.
It's not torture until the UN derides you for doing it! And who listens to those hippies, anyways?
He apparently lubricates his weapons with tears, so those taking food from the mouths of babies makes sense.
guns and lube, yep thats Texas.
why is america always shoving things down his throat, amirite?
The crazy thing is, this plays great for his base.
"I lubricate my freedom with the sorrow of parents who's children were gunned down at school!"
audience explodes in cheers
'Compassionate Conservatism' is for RHINOs and squishes.
What's the significance of the spring thing being sold on Amazon?
More evidence of right wing stupidity from the USA, WOW!
Why is BoingBoing posting this? its not the dumbest thing ive seen right wingers do, not that funny, shrug, this is a pretty boring post actually.
I took it as Rob's sardonic followup to his pointing out in the post that salty tears will rust metal springs, rather than lubricating them, thus calling for replacement (all of which points out the inaptness of the "Liberal tears lubricate my guns" metaphor).
Because it's there.
Liberal tears? Pffff. Any wise gun owner knows that the best tears are sourced from the family members of school shooting victims. Even today, Newtown, CT and Aurora, CO are still producing some of the freshest tears on the market.
Silly hippies, always caring about youthful murder victims and their families.
Just to point this out, BB is a personally run blog - it's not here for your amusement. If you find it wonderful great, if not there are other blogs.
Obviously this is a left wing conspiracy and a trap. Clearly these are tears of joy from knowing that anyone using them as lube is going to rust the bejesus out of their gun.
From a purely comedic standpoint, it is kinda funny.
who cleans or lubricates AK's? They were built to be reliable in any conditions. Heck, I heard they dug up recently deceased Mikhail and put him back to work too. THAT reliable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Kalashnikov

The Production
The Production Process
The entire production process is developed with countless processing steps, starting with the selection of purchased hides (strictly tanned to the vegetable), which come from controlled farms only. Selection is one of the key activities for quality products. The ability to evaluate breeding methods and their facilities, the ten-year knowledge of the areas of origin and the operators of the sector, the profound knowledge of the matter, have allowed us to select only those suppliers deemed appropriate to pursue a policy that Privileged absolute quality.
Model cutting
All the skill and the skill of our "cutter" is evident in our finished products! Being able to assess whether a skin is fit or not to produce a given item, cut the model, minimizing the size of the leather used and knowing how to evaluate the areas most suitable for the use of individual pieces that will include an item . All this represents our "Artisan Professionality".
Assembling models
To get a high quality product … surely this stage of machining takes on a fundamental role: our operators put each day "heart and commitment" in their precious manual work of the individual pieces that make up an article. The great "mastery" with which they work and the absolute precision in assembly they adopt … allows us to obtain an article of absolute beauty and high quality.
Quality Control, Packaging and Shipping
The last stage, but not least, is the quality control of the finished product; This is strictly controlled in every particular detail to guarantee our customers the highest quality standards.
After the quality control, the product is ready to be individually packed, labeled with all the certifications that guarantee its origin and the highest quality of leather and accessories used; Only now can the shipment be ready for our final custome

Speech to Parliament. 2 November 2016 – Centacare and HAND
With Pam and Lincoln at the Centacare HAND Awards
2 November 2016 –
I rise to speak on the great work Centacare and HAND are doing in the Stafford community through their work in support of locals living with a disability. HAND is a non-for-profit organisation based in Wilston which is focused on supporting people with disability by enhancing their leisure and lifestyle opportunities. HAND aims to support people with a disability to lead a personally fulfilling and valued lifestyle with the same choices and options that are available to others. Their programs range from leisure activities and life skills to drama classes. These programs support adults 18 years and over who have a mild to moderate disability.
I recently attended the Centacare HAND Awards with my wife, Pam where I met a young man with Down syndrome named Lincoln Inger – remember that name. During the awards, Lincoln spoke quite eloquently to the audience about what HAND meant to him and the opportunities the drama program he is taking part in provided to him. Later when I was chatting with Lincoln, he shared his ambition to be an actor. Lincoln's uncle starred in the much-loved BBC TV sitcom Dad's Army. Before his uncle died, he said it was his wish that Lincoln should follow in his footsteps. Lincoln's story is a great example of someone who is not letting their disability hold them back in life. I have no doubt that Lincoln is going to have great success in realising his ambition.
With the support of organisations such as HAND and Centacare, Lincoln's focus is like any other young man: to achieve his dreams. I want to put a call out to the media, to the film industry, and the movie production studios that we are so proud of here in Queensland, to give Lincoln a go. Look on my Facebook page, call me or my office and we will happily put anyone in touch with Lincoln. He is a very talented young man.
The Palaszczuk government is committed to ensuring that every Queenslander has the opportunity to achieve their best. This is why reforms such as the introduction of the NDIS are something this side of politics is very proud of. I know that my colleague the Minister for Disability Services has continued to work tirelessly to roll out this program across the state.
We should always focus on people's abilities and never seek to limit someone's dreams and opportunities based on their disabilities. With the good people of Queensland's help, I look forward to seeing Lincoln in Hollywood.

The Salt House
comes a deeply affecting novel about a teenage girl finding her voice and the military wife who moves in downstairs, united in their search for the true meaning of home.
Sixteen-year-old Libby Winters lives in Paradise, a seaside town north of Boston that rarely lives up to its name. After the death of her mother, she lives with her father, Bent, in the middle apartment of their triple decker home--Bent's two sisters, Lucy and Desiree, live on the top floor. A former soldier turned policeman, Bent often works nights, leaving Libby under her aunts' care. Shuffling back and forth between apartments--and the wildly different natures of her family--has Libby wishing for nothing more than a home of her very own. Quinn Ellis is at a crossroads. When her husband John, who has served two tours in Iraq, goes missing back at home, suffering from PTSD he refuses to address, Quinn finds herself living in the first-floor apartment of the Winters house. Bent had served as her husband's former platoon leader, a man John refers to as his brother, and despite Bent's efforts to make her feel welcome, Quinn has yet to unpack a single box. For Libby, the new tenant downstairs is an unwelcome guest, another body filling up her already crowded house. But soon enough, an unlikely friendship begins to blossom, when Libby and Quinn stretch and redefine their definition of family and home. With gorgeous prose and a cast of characters that feel wholly real and lovably flawed,
This Is Home
is a nuanced and moving novel of finding where we belong.

Z-5500 speaker set is just now touching down. Logi's Surround Sound Speakers Z906 offer 5.1 channels of oomph, a 500-watt (RMS) amplifier, digital / analog inputs, yet another remote to add to your (prayerfully dwindling) collection and a dedicated control console. This particular set is both ready and willing to sync up with a cornucopia of sources -- everything from your TV to your game console should feel right at home. Head on past the break for the full specifications list, and if you're game, you can exchange $349.99 (or £329) for a set later this month.
Update: Turns out the MSRP on these is $399, not $349 as we were originally told.

Waxing on
In the Times today there was an interview with Chrissie Hynde by Will Hodgkinson. Near the beginning he said he was trying to get her to "wax on" about various subjects, and I thought, What are you talking about, Will Hodgkinson?
"Wax on"? What is that supposed to mean?
Well, we know, in fact, what he meant; and I think I know what happened. Hodgkinson must have had at the back of his mind the idiom to wax lyrical – and either didn't know or temporarily forgot that to wax means to grow (as in the waxing and waning of the moon). Also at the back of his mind was the fact that there are lots of phrasal verbs which mean talking without restraint that use the preposition on: I'm thinking of go on, prattle on, witter on, ramble on etc. And Hodgkinson simply grafted the two together.
But I've waxed on about it for long enough now. Cheerio!
Mike W permalink
In my opinion, there are a lot of people who wax on a little too much and should consider waning off a bit a more…
Simon Carter permalink
There's the exchange from the Marx Brothers' Horse Feathers:
Receptionist – The Dean is furious. He's waxing wroth.
Groucho – Is Roth out there too? Tell him to wax the Dean for a while.

I just finished reading this piece by Nicholas Kristof and his wife Sheryl WuDunn, for this week's issue of the New York Times Magazine. Called "The Women's Crusade," it discusses why helping women across the globe become financially independent and sufficient will help to solve the world's problems. Kristof spends a great deal of time discussing the merits of microfinance organizations, which lend small amounts of money to (mainly) women living in poverty in order to help them start their own business and become financially independent. Kristof also discusses how the Obama administration is starting to realize that the well-being of women and girls should be a central issue, not something tangential to other mainstream policies.
The rest of the issue is dedicated to women as well (although admittedly I have not gotten through all of it yet). I have to commend the NY Times for publishing these articles, but it is certainly not the first time that journalists are writing about microfinance institutions and why we need to help women and girls. I hope this article will help call more attention to the thousands of bloggers, journalists, and researchers who are writing about these issues every day. But for now, this article is a great start.

IPCPR 2017 – Espinosa Cigars – Blind Man's Puff
There is never a doubt that you know you have stepped into the Espinosa Cigar booth at IPCPR. You are met with their lush BRIGHT orange carpet (Erik Espinosa's favorite color and also the color they used on their Laranja)
This year Espinosa focused on that launch of 2 new cigars and the rebranding/tweaking of 2 older classics in their line. At the show they released the new Espinosa Reggae and Reggae Dread. The Espinosa Reggae will be released regularly, but on a limited schedule, while the Reggae Dread is only out for this year until its gone. Both were described to us by Hector Aflonso as a Nicaraguan Cigar with Jamaican tobacco. The Dread uses the 601 La Bomba fuse, but instead of one, it has 4-5 to make it look like the cigar has dreads.
Espinosa also relaunched the Murcielago. Erick Espinosa stated that himself and Hector worked with AJ Fernandez to tweak the blend back to what it originally was when it was first released. The Murcielago has always been Erik's favorite cigar and he is excited that is back to it's full glory and the way he wants it to taste. Along with the slight tweak to the blend Espinosa also unveiled the new "3D" bat silver and black bat logo on the cigar band and box which, I have to say, looks pretty sweet.
The Espinosa 601 Blue was also slightly tweaked as well and again the purpose was to get the cigar back to its original blend and state… the one everyone loved when it was first released.
The Espinosa booth still showed off all of the lines that they have and we were fortunate enough to have Master Blender Hector Alfonso and company owner Erik Espinosa sit down with us for an interview. Go check it out!

IMPORTANT NOTEWe strongly condemn and are disgusted by Jahar's actions, and we pray for his victims regularly. Nonetheless, as Christians, we believe that Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for them and that despite Jahar's heinous crimes, the blood of Jesus is more than sufficient to wash him white as snow. Also, this is not a blog either for or against the death penalty for Jahar, as whether he lives or dies, his eternity is what matters most.
"Adopt" Jahar For Prayer

text: (Job 39:13-30) The Lord is talking to Job and is basically telling Job that he doesn't know why or how things happen the way they do. In this discourse God tells Job about the ostrich that leaves her eggs in the earth and warms them in the dust and informs him how the ostrich forgets that the foot can crush them. An ostrich may step on her own young and kill them before they are even hatched. God tells Job that she does this because God has deprived her of wisdom and understanding. An ostrich does this very unknowingly. She is a danger to her own young. As parents we should do all we can to protect our children. This goes from the time they are conceived in the womb until the time they leave the nest. We must be careful about the places we allow our young children to be. We cannot bury our head in the sand and pretend to be ignorant about what is really going on. We must be pro-active in seeking to raise our children in a godly environment and seeking to instill within them the Word of God. We must do this because some day they will leave the nest and they need to be prepared. After the Lord talks about the ostrich to Job, He later talks about the eagle. The Lord informs Job that the eagle makes her nest on high, she dwells upon the rock and she mounts up high and seeks out her prey. The eagle is very active in protecting her young and in training them to leave the nest. What kind of a parent are we? Are we being careless about where our children are at? Are we seeking to build their environment upon the Rock, the Lord Jesus Christ? Are we preparing them to leave the nest and to fly?
