Hoping for the best
NFL preps its biggest game for the biggest stage

Fans in the stands at Super Bowls past only think they've seen it all.
They've been sun-burned in Los Angeles, soaked in Miami and buffeted by winds at stops in between. Deafened during flyovers. Titillated at halftime, blacked out mid-game and even moved to tears by tributes to servicemen, veterans and the victims of 9/11.
Even so, this next Super Bowl promises those in attendance something different: The chance to freeze their rear ends off.
On Feb. 2, 2014 — the date could still be changed if a Nor'easter rolls in off the Jersey Shore — every one of the 82,000 or so ticketholders entering MetLife Stadium will receive a gift bag. Inside are a seat cushion, muffler, ski gaiters, three pairs of hand- and foot-warmers, lip balm and a package of tissues, plastered with enough logos to make a NASCAR driver jealous.
The Super Bowl has been played in northern cities four times before — inside climate-controlled domes — but never outdoors. The average daily low for East Rutherford, N.J., in early February is 22 degrees, with temperatures typically falling throughout the night, when the game will be played. Snow, wind and rain, or all three at once, is not out of the question. Exactly how much protection all that swag provides against Mother Nature's wrath remains to be seen.
"We can't provide them with coats," said Frank Supovitz, the NFL's vice president in charge of preparations for the game. "But we will be strongly encouraging them to stay in their seats."
Which begs the question: If the game is for the fans, why stage it outdoors in the New Jersey-New York metro area precisely when the trusty Farmer's Almanac, hardly alone among forecasters, is predicting a blizzard?
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and his owners are taking advantage of a lull in the tourism calendar to turn a swath of Manhattan into a playground and make cash registers sing. A 180 foot-tall toboggan slide will be plopped down in Times Square, and a stretch of Broadway from 34th Street to 48th will be closed to traffic, renamed "Super Bowl Boulevard," and converted into a rollicking theme park, merchandise shop and concert venue called the "NFL Experience."
For a week, kids will punt, pass and kick while their parents shop for replica jerseys in locales where bankers and account executives usually gobble down lunch. It won't be the only place on an already crowded spit of land where jaded New Yorkers trade elbows with their guests. As many as 200,000 out-of-towners will be cast in the role of Jack Lemmon in the movie of the same name, dazzled by the goings-on and trying not to get fleeced by savvy hoteliers and street vendors.
Already, reports are circulating about prices being tripled, with modest hotel rooms in Midtown jacked to $1,000 a night, and even more modest accommodations across the Hudson River in New Jersey, close to MetLife Stadium, offered at the princely sum of $600. That's on top of what's already the highest ticket prices ever — ranging from $500 to $2,600 — a hike the NFL candidly acknowledged was intended to make life tough on scalpers.
But hustlers won't be the only folks forced to improvise.
Plans for the event have been three years in the making, but depending on weather, they might not be finalized until the last minute. Moving fans across the region, even aided by the nation's most extensive public transportation network, presents a logistical nightmare — even before security considerations are factored in.
"You've got two states, separated by a river, and people from the five boroughs and eight or nine counties in New Jersey all heading for the same place in a matter of hours," said Al Kelly, who heads up the host Super Bowl committee. "What we have is a series of contingency plans where priorities shift according to the day and in some cases hour by hour. ... If a storm hits one day, we'll shift resources to clearing certain roads and bridges; if it lands somewhere else at a different time, we could be forced to change the entire blueprint.
"The one thing we better be," Kelly said finally, "is nimble."
But it's not just the region's reputation on the line.
By waiving the normal Super Bowl specifications to grease New York's winning bid in 2010 — previously, bid cities were required to average 50-degree temperatures during game week — Goodell and his owners are out to prove the proposition Frank Sinatra laid out in "New York, New York." Namely, that if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
Since taking over as commissioner in 2006, Goodell has made securing new stadiums or renovating existing ones for his already wealthy owners — almost always with some level of taxpayer-financing — every bit as much a signature issue as player safety. It's no coincidence that all five of the stadiums that have, or will, come online during his tenure have already been awarded the big game.
Nor is Goodell above dangling the carrot of a future Super Bowl as a reward to cities and states willing to throw tax dollars into stadium pots. With 19 of the league's 32 teams situated within winter's reach — six already have domed stadiums — a successful Super Bowl outdoors could put the entire U.S. map in play for his pitch.
New York might seem like a tough place to set a precedent. It's already a nexus for many of the world's financial, entertainment and media empires, and chaotic on its quietest day. Just rising above that clutter is no small feat. And even if the NFL does a bang-up job, it won't turn around and ask the region's taxpayers for help anytime soon. MetLife Stadium opened for business in April 2010, with the $1.6 billion construction cost covered jointly by the co-tenants, New York's Giants and Jets, using private funds.
"The other thing that's important," said Giants co-owner John Mara, the third generation of his family to run the club, "is that all of us, across the NFL for many years, said over and over that so many of the most memorable games ever played were played in extreme weather.
"So why not here?"
The coldest Super Bowl on record was played in Tulane University's stadium in 1972 — temperature at kickoff: 39 degrees — back when the big game was still a small event. More relevant in this case were the 2000 and 2011 Super Bowls, when late-arriving storms turned Atlanta and Dallas, respectively, into ghost towns. Though both games were played in domes, much of Atlanta was frozen over and inaccessible; Dallas did a face-plant in the four inches of snow that fell early in the week, mostly shutting down instead of shoveling out.
At the moment, the NFL is one of the slickest, best-run conglomerates on the planet. It has the kind of monopolistic hold on American sports that Microsoft once exercised over technology. The league takes the lion's share of sports-related TV dollars, ad revenues and airtime, and routinely crushes rivals in head-to-head, time-slot matchups. That's why the date of the Super Bowl has creeped from its traditional Sunday spot late in January to the first week of February, which just happens to be the start of sweeps month.
Next year's big game will be viewed by 100 million-plus people in the United States, and depending on whose numbers are crunched, it's already the most-watched annual sporting event around the world. Only the Olympics and soccer — with its World Cup and UEFA Champions League final showcases — can offer an argument. So no matter how many fannies are frozen off inside MetLife, the fans are essentially extras in a show practically guaranteed to be a hit.
Last year's Super Bowl, matching Baltimore against San Francisco inside New Orleans' Superdome, joined nearly two dozen of its predecessors on the short list of most-viewed television broadcasts in U.S. history. That despite a 34-minute stretch early in the third quarter when an electrical failure cut the lights over much of the stadium, delaying the game and sending fans at home scurrying to their refrigerators.
No one was surprised those fans returned in droves soon after to watch a game that wasn't decided for the Ravens until the final play. But it mystified some, and outraged others, that the power went out in a building to which taxpayers have contributed, in installments over the years, about $1 billion to build and then renovate after Hurricane Katrina swept through in 2005.
Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who retired after that game, and his old sidekick, Terrell Suggs, came up with a conspiracy theory of their own. Both pointed a finger at Goodell, suggesting without so much as a shred of evidence that he threw the switch so the 49ers could climb back into the game.
"You're a zillion-dollar company, and your lights go out? No," Lewis said. "No way."
Apparently, he won't have to worry about that this time around, no matter how cold it gets.
"The one thing I feel really confident about," Mara said, "is that the lights won't go out."

For its Eggs
Our judges said, "Great yolk cooked dark, incredible flavour, thicker texture, one of the creamiest, old fashioned 'eggy' flavour."
The eggs at Nantclyd Farm are laid by free range organic hens who live in small groups in mobile sheds with year round access to pasture and hedgerows from dawn till dusk. They are fed a home mixed ration based on Welsh grown oats milled on the farm, and are part of the farm rotation which also includes fruit, vegetables, cereals and sheep. The chicks are reared from a day old on the farm, and the poultry is part of a 6-8 year rotation, working with other small organic local farms to maintain year round supply.

3 Top Dermatologists Answer Your Toughest Beauty Questions
What really causes undereye circles? What's the best fix for dark spots? Here, three top skin doctors answer your most pressing beauty questions.
By Melanie Rud Chadwick
"Do I need to wear sunscreen if my makeup has an SPF?"
Yes. You can't rely on makeup alone. "To get adequate sun protection, you have to apply an even coat all over your face," says Dr. Cassis. "If you just put on foundation wherever you need coverage, you won't get an even layer." Plus, makeup sits on skin's top layer and wears off quickly, whereas a moisturizer's chemical sunscreen is absorbed by skin, making it more effective. Use a moisturizer with SPF 30, such as First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Face Cream ($38, Sephora), 365 days a year.

As a follow-up to my previous blog about Denver basically decriminalizing marijuana possession, our neighbor south of the border looks like it is following Denver's example:
Mexico decriminalizes small-scale drug possession
Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin on Friday — a move that prosecutors say makes sense even in the midst of the government's grueling battle against drug traffickers.
Prosecutors said the new law sets clear limits that keep Mexico's corruption-prone police from extorting casual users and offers addicts free treatment to keep growing domestic drug use in check. The new law sets out maximum "personal use" amounts for drugs, also including LSD and methamphetamine. People detained with those quantities no longer face criminal prosecution.
To our neighbor south of the border I give a hearty ¡Salud!

It's been on my mind to email you since Thanksgiving. We so enjoyed the turkey that you raised! It was the best we ever had (better than Ayrshire!). Thank you so much for your hard work and expertise. Put us on the list for next year... - Kerry
Our turkey was so perfect and our food-nut Mrs. Furlow was calling all her girlfriends in Louisiana raving that at the age of 70 she finally had her first fresh turkey and it was the best she'd ever had! And would you believe she flew back home with the bag of gizzards and neck in her carry-on bag?? As she said, "Baby, I can make turkey dumplings with that to last me a month!"
Anna (and Dan), our turkey was fabulous. Hands down, one of the best I can remember ever having. When I first saw it, I thought, where's the plump? But this sweet creature was loaded with tender white and dark meat and we have lots of leftovers. There just wasn't any fat. Amazing. You did a wonderful job raising them, and I was so happy to have a humanely-raised bird. Thank you again for letting us have one of your turkeys, and for making sure their lives were spent decently before landing on our tables. It means a lot to me. Happy Thanksgiving to all of your family! - Judi
Anna, I wanted to first thank you for your hospitality when I stopped by Tuesday to pick up my turkey. Despite the rain, it was nice standing around the fire enjoying a beer (or cider) and just chatting. Additionally, thank you for the delicious turkey! I was able to join my family for dinner – somehow I was able to leave work before they even sat down to eat! The turkey was delicious – you, Daniel and the girls did something right out there on your farm. While the turkey, served hot, was delicious; it was also just as tasty on a cold turkey sandwich this afternoon. Where you live is so magical – I have been raving about it since I visited you! Thank you again and I hope you had a wonderful thanksgiving! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Cheers – Emily, Sous Chef, Harth
Those turkeys were amazing! We loved them. Lots of compliments. I managed to botch the Butterball breast for my mother so she ate the white midget and was really happy with that. So now I will just get a red bourbon and a white midget every year. I hope you had a nice holiday! - Ali

Nanowires grown on graphene have surprising structure
By Liz Ahlberg, U of I News Bureau
April 24, 2013
- The self-assembled wires have a core of one composition and an outer layer of another, a desired trait for many advanced electronics applications.
- ECE professor Xiuling Li, in collaboration with professors Eric Pop and Joseph Lyding, published their team's findings in the journal Nano Letters.
- The group uses a method called van der Waals epitaxy to grow nanowires from the bottom up on a flat substrate of semiconductor materials, such as silicon. The nanowires are made of a class of materials called III-V (three-five), compound semiconductors that hold particular promise for applications involving light, such as solar cells or lasers.
The group previously reported growing III-V nanowires on silicon. While silicon is the most widely used material in devices, it has a number of shortcomings. Now, the group has grown nanowires of the material indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs) on a sheet of graphene, a one-atom-thick sheet of carbon with exceptional physical and conductive properties.

Want to know what you're going to be really, really worried about in, say, early 2007? Ask Robert Stone.
For his entire career, Stone has been the canary in our cultural coal mine, discovering hot spots and danger zones early, and warning that cockiness can breed catastrophe. His first novel, 1967's A Hall of Mirrors, anticipated the proliferation of right-wing talk radio. His second, 1974's National Book Award-winning Dog Soldiers, presciently traced a line from the fields of Vietnam to America's growing drug culture. 1981's A Flag for Sunrise focused on Central America's roiling politics, and five years ago Stone turned his attention to terrorism and the Middle East with the novel Damascus Gate. His new book, the terse, touching Bay of Souls, features an emblematic Stone book, the terse, touching Bay of Souls, features an emblematic Stone blunderer -- an American professor seduced into the religion, crime, and culture of a Haiti-like island in the Caribbean.
On the day EW catches up with Stone in the inviting, modest New York City apartment he shares with Janice, his wife of 43 years (the two also spend much of the year in Key West, Fla.), the war in Iraq has just begun. ''This, I think, is as worrisome and awful a situation as I've ever seen in my life,'' he says. ''I don't think I've ever seen the country in so much trouble.'' That kind of conviction has led some to accuse him of everything from pessimism to paranoia, a charge that Stone denies. ''I know critics think I'm some kind of crazy, bitterly anti-American leftist,'' he says, in tones more befitting his status as a recently retired Yale English professor than an alum of Ken Kesey's high-living, acid-dropping Merry Pranksters. ''I'm really not. I only have one country. And I can't keep from identifying with even the levels of America that I find extremely uncongenial.'' Here, the rueful chronicler of Western misadventure weighs in on the state of his art.
EW You have a phenomenal knack for telling us where we might be about to get into trouble. So what's on your mind these days?
ROBERT STONE [Laughs] Well, I haven't been traveling quite as much. It's not as much fun. No place has really grabbed me except for northern British Columbia. But I'm thinking of doing an Ivy League campus thing. There were a couple of events on the Yale campus -- including a murder -- that were really quite intriguing. That's what I'm thinking of -- a story of conflict on campus.
EW When you started Bay of Souls, you abandoned a novel set in British Columbia that you'd worked on for some time...
STONE I don't see it as wasted or abandoned. Well, it is abandoned, but it's like an abandoned car. You can strip it down for parts. Or find a story there and pursue it. Or maybe take it up again and finish it. You have to be, in some ways, tough-minded.... I believe that stamina is necessary -- and the strength to cut and the strength to change. To try not to be indulging yourself. Writers get their favorite little things, things that turn them on. You have to try and tell the difference between what personally delights you and what's worth setting down. They're not the same.

The New Face of SEO: How SEO Has Changed #infographic
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users.

|I have to have the roofing done on a house if I am to purchase it...which I am more than likely going to. I know one part of the roof needs new wood on the roof(what the shingles sit on) but most of it is just replacing the shingles.
I am wondering if it would be cheaper now and in the long run to do metal panels instead of shingles.
So my questions would be
1. Lifetime- comparison of the 2, which lasts longer
Also, the home has vinyl siding, do we have to add any type of flashing if we are using metal panels?

|For me steel roofing was a no brainer. They make steel roofing to match any finish you like, shingles, shakes, spanish tile etc.
The steel roofing I got has a 75yr warranty and on top of that, I got a 16% fire insurance credit for having a fireproof roof.

|I would like to do the metal roofing, just because I like the look in all honesty lol, but im working on a budget and most stuff my husband and I are DIY style on the things that dont need a scientists help to complete. Im wondering if the shingle style metal roofing would cost more than the panels? We are looking at home depot and lowes for our roofing supplies.

|The only metal panels that I'm aware of from lowes and h.d. are corrugated panels. Unless you have experience installing those, I dont see putting them on your house. They are okay for outbuildings such as horse stalls, sheds, carports,etc, but are prone to leaking if not installed correctly and the gasketed fasteners need attention every now and then as the gasket deteriorates or the fasteners loosen. A standing seam metal roof for your home is going to be more pricy than a decent grade shingle roof but you will get more life out of the metal roof than shingles. To get an idea of cost differences, get estimates both ways from roofing contractors in your area. The fact that you have to ask about flashings and whether they are needed speaks out loud that you should either research on install applications whatever material type you decide on or simply leave it to a reputable roofing pro who warranties their work. Personally I would not buy any roofing material from a big box store.

|Sierraeast- I definitely wont be on top of my house anytime soon lol. I have no idea how to do roofing...which is why my husband will be the one doing it. He may know all the answers, but getting opinions from others, and asking questions will only further MY knowledge on things that are needed to be done. That way, my husband doesn't have to worry about a nail from a nail gun going through his finger asking me to get something for him, while I stare at him puzzled.
I called a very reputable roofer to get an estimate on the job, and he was the one who said that his company purchases the 25yr warrantied shingles from lowes. If thats the case, why not save on labor costs since my husband has experience?
|Metal roof should be better than shingles in every way you mention except price. Hail will kill shingles. It can dent metal, but it won't cause it to fail except for appearance. You can do lower pitch with metal than with shingles. The heat thing is complicated. A simple metal roof will reflect more heat than shingles, but will retain it more as well. You can install a cool metal roof (best is with a white finish). It will keep the house very much cooler than shingles. There is lots of info available on the web about cool roofs. Try the US DOE and here:
There are different types of metal roofs available. The main divisions are often called R-panel and standing-seam. The R-panels are fastened from the top with screws with gaskets. Eventually the seals degrade, leak and the screws pull out. The screws can be replaced after a decade or two. Standing-seam does not have that problem.
Get some estimates, lots of them. I think that you will find that metal costs about twice as much. Cool roofs cost a bit more.

|I had an exposed fastener metal roof installed on my home just this past summer- it cost no more than 25% above what a good quality asphalt shingle roof would have cost me. Standing seam would have been double but no way did my home justify that much as I would have liked it.
Having just spent several days watching the guys install it I would certainly say that no way should a layperson attempt this. The flashings are so complicated, the tools so specialized, the surface so slick, and the panels so huge that you are just asking for trouble.
I love my roof.

|1. Steel is much, much, longer
2. Steel will be more expensive, how much depends on the contractor. Our steel prices are about 2X what our asphalt prices are but when you figure they last more than 2X as long, it is a wise investment.
3. Much better for steel. Many steel roof are certified for Miami Dade restrictions. Asphalt shingles will never do that. Plenty of steel roof are certified and warrantied for sustained winds in excess of 120mph. Asphalt is only rated for gusts.
4. Asphalt is much easier in that it does not require much skill or specialized tools.
5. Yes and know. Some systems require a minimum slope and others can be run on flat roof applications. Depends on the panel/system.
6. No. Even less because most metal systems don't rely on sealants to make their water tight seal whereas asphalt is relying on its adhesion to the course of shingles below.

|Go with metal, but do not get it at lowes or hd. Go with 26 gauge not 29. Some say the cost is a little more. I found it to be the same price if you do the labor yourself.
- Posted by live_wire_oak (My Page) on Thu, Aug 25, 11 at 17:35
|Asphalt shingles are a "get you through X years" type of roof. In a mild climate with no hail or storm damage, X years can be 20-30 years. Architectural shingles can add 10 years to X. Shingles are relatively low cost DIY project and can be done fairly quickly with some friends and a roofing nailer.
Metal is "I'm staying in this house for long term and don't want to do this again" type of roof. It can easily last you 50 years if you choose standing seam. Standing seam isn't a DIY job though. You need an experienced pro with the right tools. Exposed fastener metal can be a DIY if the roof is simple like a ranch, but you're not talking the barn roofing you find at a box store. That's thin, and won't last that long before leaking. You can find a local supplier of exposed fastener to custom create panels that won't need any lap seams. It's about double the price of shingles, but it goes up quicker because you're dealing with covering large expanses at once. The biggest drawback to exposed fastener is the fasteners. They will degrade over time and need to be replaced. That's not something folks in their 60's want to be doing with a "lifetime" roof, so pricing it will need to be factored into the overall pricing.
|That is a very good point to figure replacing fasteners into the price.

|Metal or shingle depends upon your locality. otherwise metal is best option , They are more durable,most important maintenance is much easier in case of metal.

The values a man must cherish as his life-breath are, Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Love and Non violence.Sri Sathya Sai Baba
The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose.James Earl Jones
Men are rewarded for learning the practice of violence in virtually any sphere of activity by money, admiration, recognition, respect, and the genuflection of others honoring their sacred and proven masculinity. In male culture, police are heroic and so are outlaws; males who enforce standards are heroic and so are those who violate them.Andrea Dworkin
Islam teaches tolerance, not hatred; universal brotherhood, not enmity; peace, and not violence.Pervez Musharraf
Indeed, it may be laid down as a general principle, that the more extended the ancestry, the greater the amount of violence and vagabondism; for in ancient days those two amusements, combining a wholesome excitement with a promising means of repairing shattered fortunes, were at once the ennobling pursuit and the healthful recreation of the Quality of this land.Charles Dickens
American culture is torn between our long romance with violence and our terror of the devastation wrought by war and crime and environmental havocKatherine Dunn
I recognize there is discontent - for political reform, for the need for fighting corruption, for improving services. But that can not justify this violence of a few.Barham Saleh
In a world which is armed to its teeth with nuclear weapons, every quarrel or difference of opinion may lead to violence of a kind quite different from what is possible today.Herman Kahn
The truth is that a vast restructuring of our society is needed if remedies are to become available to the average person. Without that restructuring the good will that holds society together will be slowly dissipated. . . . It is that sense of futility which permeates the present series of protests and dissents. Where there is a persistent sense of futility, there is violence; and that is where we are today.William Orville Douglas
Of all the observations I have made on the strike, none has brought forth so much heat and emotion as the stress and emphasis we put on non- violence. Our most loyal supporters, whose courage and devotion has never been doubted, unanimously and stren.Nelson Mandela
In violence, we forget who we are.Mary McCarthy
Government is an association of men who do violence to the rest of usLeo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
As long as Nazi violence was unleashed only, or mainly, against the Jews, the rest of the world looked on passively and even treaties and agreements were made with the patently criminal government of the Third Reich.... The doors of Palestine were closed to Jewish immigrants, and no country could be found that would admit those forsaken people. They were left to perish like their brothers and sisters in the occupied countries. We shall never forget the heroic efforts of the small countries, of the Scandinavian, the Dutch, the Swiss nations, and of individuals in the occupied part of Europe who did all in their power to protect Jewish livesAlbert Einstein
How a society channels male aggression is one of the greatest questions as to whether that society will survive. That`s why I am not against violence in the media, I am against the glorification of immoral violence.Dennis Prager
The common dogma is fear of modern knowledge, inability to cope with the fast change in a scientific-technological society, and the real breakdown in apparent moral order in recent years.... That is why hate is the major fuel, fear is the cement of the movement, and superstitious ignorance is the best defence against the dangerous new knowledge. ... When you bring up arguments that cast serious doubts on their cherished beliefs you are not simply making a rhetorical point, you are threatening their whole Universe and their immortality. That provokes anger and quite frequently violence. ... Unfortunately you cannot reason with them and you even risk violence in confronting them. Their numbers will decline only when society stabilizes, and adapts to modernityG Gaia
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or they be black.Robert F. Kennedy
We often think of peace as the absence of war; that if the powerful countries would reduce their arsenals, we could have peace. But if we look deeply into the weapons, we see our own minds - our prejudices, fears, and ignorance. Even if we transported all the bombs to the moon, the roots of war and the reasons for bombs would still be here, in our hearts and minds, and sooner or later we would make new bombs. Seek to become more aware of what causes anger and separation, and what overcomes them. Root out the violence in your life, and learn to live compassionately and mindfullyThich Nhat Hanh
The question is no longer between violence and non-violence; it is between non-violence and non-existence.Martin Luther King Jr
The most terrible thing about materialism, even more terrible than its proneness to violence, is its boredom, from which sex, alcohol, drugs, all devices for putting out the accusing light of reason and suppressing the unrealizable aspirations of love, offer a prospect of deliverance.Malcolm Muggeridge
Typhoons are a sort of violent whirlwinds. Before these whirlwinds come on... there appears a heavy cloud to the northeast which is very black near the horizon, but toward the upper part is a dull reddish color. The tempest came with great violence, but after a while, the winds ceased all at once and a calm succeeded. This lasted... an hour, more or less, then the gales were turned around, blowing with great fury from the southwestCaptain William Dampier
The Care therefore of every man's Soul belongs unto himself, and is to be left unto himself. But what if he neglect the Care of his Soul? I answer, What if he neglects the Care of his Health, or of his Estate, which things are nearlier related to the Government of the Magistrate than the other? Will the magistrate provide by an express Law, That such an one shall not become poor or sick? Laws provide, as much as is possible, that the Goods and Health of Subjects be not injured by the Fraud and Violence of others; they do not guard them from the Negligence or Ill-husbandry of the Possessors themselvesJohn Locke
Weapons are the tools of violence;all decent men detest them.Weapons are the tools of fear;a decent man will avoid themexcept in the direst necessityand, if compelled, will use themonly with the utmost restraint.Peace is his highest value.If the peace has been shattered,how can he be content?His enemies are not demons,but human beings like himself.He doesn't wish them personal harm.Nor does he rejoice in victory.How could he rejoice in victoryand delight in the slaughter of men?He enters a battle gravely,with sorrow and with great compassion,as if he were attending a funeralLao Tzu�
Reason is always a kind of brute force; those who appeal to the head rather than the heart, however pallid and polite, are necessarily men of violence. We speak of 'touching' a man's heart, but we can do nothing to his head but hit it.Gilbert Keith Chesterton

Beautiful save-the-date
Striped Glory Save the Date Magnets I was very pleased with my purchase. Will definitely order from Magnet Street in the future.
Awesome Service
Flip Flops in the Sun Save the Date Magnets Our save the date magnets came out beautifully, and the company rushed them out to me despite the quoted production time - I assume this is because they read my note about me being in a rush to let people know about my last minute destination wedding! Much appreciated!! Reasonable prices, website personalization was super easy, great selection of complementary items to accompany invitations... We ordered our invites from MS as well and are eagerly awaiting them. I also really appreciated the invitation samples folder that came with our save the dates. It was so helpful for choosing wording and paper type. Only negative feedback is that I wish that the quantities could be chosen in smaller increments. We are sending 30 invites, but had to order 50. Overall, couldn't be more pleased!!

The party pack seemed like a better deal than buying things a la carte, so I went for it. I'm sorry I did. There was a lot of stuff that needed put together/constructed, which was a pain. The balloons they include are the cheapest available on the market (as explained to me by the specialty store where we had them blown up). They started to shrivel/sink only a few hours after having them blown up with helium. The centerpieces were The quality of pretty much everything included was on par with a dollar store's products. The one saving grace was the personalized banner. That was a big hit and looked great.

It includes all the necessary items for a cheap price. If you bought all the items separately, it would be a lot more. It has everything you need except maybe the centerpiece or a foil balloon if you are looking for extras like that. It has plates, cups, table cloth, napkins, forks/spoons, and even some decorations like balloons. However, the balloons are just generic solid color or with stars on them and the table cloth is just a solid color disposable one. The plates, cups, and napkins are basically the only theme items. I think it is well worth the money if you want theme items but need to be cheap.

Which MDM are you looking at? Will that stop them opening certain apps or allow only certain apps to open during school times, while attached to a certain wifi? in a certain geo-fence?FWIW,
I am not going into the tablets are good/bad as that akin to getting into a vegetarianism is good/bad - everyone thinks they are right and no one really gets any benefit from the discussion.
SLT like the idea, I have put forward my concerns to SLT regarding such a scheme and they have been taken into consideration, it helps that I work in a place where I am seen as an important part of the machine and not just that bloke in IT.
We (head, me, hod ICT) have had three meetings about this with 3 different companies - Academia, Millgate, Jigsaw.
We have the infrastructre to cope with another 600 devices, we will be using MDM while they are connected to our network so they wont be able to do anything they couldn't on a 'school' machine. Apparently most parents are fine with the idea and the costs involved (as long as its one where they get to keep the device), the ones that genuinly cannot will be provided with a loan unit for the duration that their child is with us.
Each company has their own merits but the one we are going to further discussion and parental consultation on will be with Millgate. They are the only one we found to be offering a pool of a few devices for some of those that cannot afford to pay, a range of tablets - not just ipads, the parents get to keep the devices at the end of it, Millgate willl take care of all of the payment processing and chasing / insurance / faulty product issues.
I *just* have to get the devices here before they go out to add security/apps/mdm - this will be part of the contract with parents if we do go ahead.
Still early days but as long as its done right and the teachers actually use them as they should do, I cant see it being too much of a problem. Maybe.

Attractions in the Gateway Arch Experience inclue the Gateway Arch, Old Courthouse, and Gateway Arch Riverboats. Also featured are the activities, events and special exhibits created by the National Park Service, as well as other partners.
The Gateway Arch
|The nation's tallest monument, standing 630 feet tall, has beckoned visitors for more than 40 years with its iconic, awe-inspiring shape. The vision of renowned architect, Eero Saarinen, the Gateway Arch commemorates Thomas Jefferson and the westward expansion of the United States. A visit to St. Louis isn't complete without standing at its base and playing professional photographer, and the view from the outside is only half of the experience.
|Gateway Arch Riverboat Cruises
50 South Leonor K Sullivan Blvd.
St. Louis, MO
Take a ride on replica 19th-century paddle-wheel boats, Tom Sawyer and Becky Thatcher, located on the riverfront below the south leg of the Gateway Arch. Enjoy cruise narration, provided by the National Park Service and the vessel's captain, that offers a historical overview of the area and the role this working river still plays today. There's a cruise for every occasion.
|Museum of Westward Expansion
11 North 4th Street
St. Louis, MO
|Experience the Old West with a visit to the Museum of Westward Expansion. See how mountain men lived in the 1800s or take a peek inside a covered wagon. Listen as history unfolds through the voices of animatronic figures that bring the past to life. View rare Indian Peace Medals, weapons of survival and an actual tipi. Audio enhancement is available during tours given by National Park Service rangers. Tours include a variety of educational topics and a question-and-answer period.
| Old Courthouse
11 North 4th Street
St. Louis, MO
|Experience a significant part of U.S. history during a visit to the Historic Old Courthouse, completed in 1862. The Courthouse is the site where Dred and Harriet Scott, both slaves, pleaded with the court for their freedom, and Virginia Minor petitioned for women's right to vote in the 1870s. Embrace history in a restored courtroom from the 1860s and view exhibits and murals depicting historic St. Louis events.

(1) The
legislature finds and declares that the practice of pharmacy is a
dynamic, patient-oriented health service that applies a
scientific body of knowledge to improve and promote patient
health by means of appropriate drug use and drug-related therapy.
(2) The legislature recognizes that with the proliferation of alternate methods of health delivery, there has arisen among third-party payors and insurance companies the desire to control the cost and utilization of pharmacy services through a variety of mechanisms, including the use of mail-order pharmacies located outside the state of Washington.
(3) As a result, the legislature finds and declares that to continue to protect the Washington consumer-patient, all out-of-state pharmacies, including those located in Canada, that provide services to Washington residents shall be licensed by the department of health, disclose specific information about their services, and provide pharmacy services at a high level of protection and competence.
[2005 c 275 § 2; 1991 c 87 § 1.]
Finding -- Intent--2005 c 275: "The legislature finds that as consumers' prescription drug costs continue to rise, people across the state of Washington are exercising the option to purchase prescription drugs from Canada for their personal use. The state has a strong interest in the safety of drugs purchased through this mechanism. To address this interest, the legislature intends to authorize the state board of pharmacy to regulate nonresident Canadian pharmacies." [2005 c 275 § 1.]
Effective date -- 1991 c 87: "This act shall take effect October 1, 1991." [1991 c 87 § 15.]

Dawn Drummey is the program manager for Military Pathways, a DoD funded mental health education and screening program.
The holiday season has officially begun. Everywhere you look decorations adorn store fronts and everyone is talking about giving thanks and counting blessings. It's supposed to be "the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." But for many military families, the holiday season can be stressful - especially when a loved one is away.
Dealing with deployment during the holiday can be difficult. While military families are proud of the service and sacrifice their loved one is making, they also deal with emotional challenges that can cause them to feel lonely, angry and sad. Often, the pressure to have the "perfect" holiday can aggravate anxiety and cause stress.
This holiday season, take advantage of Military Pathway's free, anonymous, online or telephone mental health self-assessments available year-round for military personnel and their families. The self-assessment contains a series of questions that, when linked together, help create a picture of how an individual is feeling and whether they could benefit from talking to a health professional. Once the self-assessment is completed, the individual receives information on how to get help including services provided through the Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs.
To access the online self-assessments, visit www.MilitaryMentalHealth.org at http://www.militarymentalhealth.org/.
In addition to the online assessments, Military Pathways offers webinars throughout the year that address different mental health topics. This holiday, to help those who may be feeling depressed or overwhelmed, we are hosting a FREE Depression, Deployment and the Holidays Webinar on Dec. 8 at 3:00 p.m. EST.
As part of the webinar, participants will:
This webinar is for service members, veterans, family members and clinicians who work with the military.
To reserve your spot, register online or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Military Pathways at http://www.militarypathways.org/ is funded by the Department of Defense, Force Health Protection and Readiness at http://fhp.osd.mil/ and is available to families in all branches, including the National Guard and Reserve.

This wrinkle filler is housed in a compact instead of the standard squeeze tube. It has a silky, lightweight texture whose filling effect is OK but not quite as impressive as wrinkle fillers that have a spackle-like texture, allowing you to pat and blend until you're satisfied with the results. Speaking of results, with any type of cosmetic wrinkle filler (not the kind that a dermatologist injects, which are known as dermal fillers) the effect isn't going to be dramatic and it is short-lived, lasting hours at best. Although Prep + Prime Skin Smoother works to a certain extent, the inclusion of fragrant sandalwood puts skin at risk for irritation (fragrance isn't skin care). The formula contains a small amount of peptides and some good antioxidants, but in compact packaging like this, those delicate ingredients will be routinely exposed to light and air, which causes them to breakdown and become ineffective. There are better wrinkle fillers to consider, such as those from Good Skin and BeautiControl.
A velvety skin perfecting primer that instantly fills in fine lines and wrinkles. Contains powerful anti-oxidants, evens skintone and mattifies - while softening the skin. Convenient compact makes it perfect for on-the-go moments.
Dimethicone, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate, Silica, Hordeum Distichon (Barley) Extract, Polysilicone-11, Nylon-12, Adipic Acid/Neopentyl Glycol Crosspolymer, Polyethylene, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Hdi/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Santalum Album (Sandalwood) Extract, Phellodendron Amurense Bark Extract, Tribehenin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Lecithin, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, Hydrolyzed Yeast Protein, Glycerin, Phytosterols, Trioctyldodecyl Citrate, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Water, Propylene Carbonate, Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides
When it comes to skin care you may be tempted to dismiss the small assortment M.A.C. offers and skip right to their makeup with its well-earned positive reputation. But doing so would mean missing a handful of beautifully formulated products that are worth trying. By no means is M.A.C.'s skin-care line one-stop shopping (at least not if you have blemishes, skin discolorations, or require more than a couple options per category), but you'll find more than just the color products impressive here, and the prices aren't unreasonable either!
For more information about M.A.C., owned by Estee Lauder, call (800) 588-0070 or visit www.maccosmetics.com.
M.A.C. Makeup
What more can one say for this long-standing makeup line whose products have spoken eloquently for themselves for years? In many ways, M.A.C. is a pivotal line not only for makeup artists but also for any in-the-know cosmetics consumer. Although M.A.C. has several singularly outstanding products, they generally excel by virtue of the range of choices offered. The color selection for everything from lipsticks to foundations is exceptional. Also, most of the makeup brushes are beautiful, full, and soft, as well as properly sized to fit the contours of the face and eyes. It is typically a pleasure to shop this line, though we wish the tester units (especially for blush, eyeshadow, and lipstick) were arranged by formula and finish rather than by color.
M.A.C.'s salespeople are sometimes trained as makeup artists, too, though being part of the Estee Lauder corporation means they have pressure to meet sales quotas (and no gifts-with-purchase to serve as an enticement). For this reason, you may prefer shopping at one of M.A.C.'s freestanding or Pro stores. The sales pressure is all but absent, the staff tends to be true makeup artists rather than only salespeople, and the stores routinely offer makeup how-to classes, which are both fun and informative.
M.A.C. has launched several state-of-the-art products since the previous edition of this book. The prime additions are several improved foundations and concealers, superior loose and pressed powders, a couple of mascaras that compete nicely with those from lash-enhancing leader Lancome, buttery-smooth powder blushes, and the very popular (and deservedly so) Pro Longwear Lipcolour. Couple this with their long-standing products that have always performed well and offered neutral shades (Studio Fix, anyone?) and M.A.C. is a force to be reckoned with in the world of department-store makeup. The only disappointment of note is that several of their liquid foundations with sunscreen still lack sufficient UVA protection. Why is it that Lauder-owned Clinique and Prescriptives continually get this critical step right, while Lauder's namesake line, Bobbi Brown, and M.A.C. tend to falter? It's especially upsetting in M.A.C.'s case because the affected foundations otherwise have exemplary textures and a vast palette of neutral shades for fair to dark skin tones. Other than this important point, you really can't go wrong shopping this line, whether you're new to the world of makeup or a seasoned pro.
Note: M.A.C. sets itself apart from other beauty brands by staying ahead of the curve by launching a seemingly-constant rotation of impressive limited edition products, usually with fashion-forward themes. Though it's impossible to review every limited edition product, many of M.A.C.'s are as impressive as those in their permanent collection.

8 Healthy-Food Myths
Forget what youve heard about eating well and try this advice instead
By Arricca Elin SanSone
Myth: Fresh produce is more nutritious than frozen or canned.
Not true at all, says Dobbins. Veggies and fruits are frozen and canned as soon as theyre picked so theyre at peak nutrition. Plus, canned produce is great to have on hand because it wont go bad in a few days.
What to do:
Eat fresh fruits and veggies in season; theyre less expensive then, and some nutrients, such as vitamin C, begin to break down as soon as foods are harvested. Go for canned or frozen at other times of year. But rinse canned veggies well to cut sodium by about 40%. And look for canned fruit in its own juice rather than swimming in syrup and added sugars. Dried fruits are another alternativetheyve lost their water, not their nutrientsbut watch serving size and check the ingredients list to see if sugar has been added.

Worship Service @ 10:00AM
42901 Waxpool Road, Ashburn, VA 20147
Whether you are teenager, college student, newly married, seasoned father or sage, we leave a legacy behind. It is what we are known for. People know us by our deeds and by our actions. A small exchange of words at the right time or a small assistance to someone in need, leaves a mark on the lives of others. Each indelible mark left with the people around us are seeds that are sown for others in our community, our workplace and our families.
The legacy logo displays a large tree with deep roots symbolizing our legacy. I believe the tree is a great symbol of a life well lived. I know a great artist/cartographer who designs hand-drawn maps. He drew a map of his own property that he gifted to me. I love the map. His property is about 50 acres in Loudoun County. About 10 of the 50 acres are covered in forest with a stream running through the middle of the forest. What I love about the map is that he calls out one tree because it stands out as a land mark. This tree is large and staggering. As a kid I would have loved to have climbed it! It has seen many seasons and storms. The legacy of this tree has been inked on a map and is known by anyone who sees this map as the "Great Oak." The great oak has a huge root system and a tap root that is as deep as the tree is tall. This tap root is what sustains it's strength and without it, strong winds will avail and blow the tree over. The tap root is our faith, deeply rooted in God's Love through his word and his Spirit that dwells in us. With it, we leave our legacy. We can stand tall and become landmarks in our community.
The forest, like our community is full of trees that create a protective sanctuary for other smaller trees, plants and wildlife. The ground below is made of fertile soil. The roots below are interwoven, passing different chemicals, vitamins and minerals back and forth between each other. The roots are a network that share and strengthen each other making the forest stronger. The trees draw up water from the ground and help create running streams. It's said that when deforestation happens, all water in the area dries up from both lack of protection from direct sun contact but also from the lack of water being drawn by the natural root systems.
We as brothers are called to serve those around us, hold each other up and be available for each other. Without the church and the leaders among us, families and communities will suffer. We are called to be landmarks, directing those around us people to our Lord, the one who sustains us and gives us life.
I look forward to building this legacy together. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me any time.
God's Peace brothers!

Being a German citizen, I was always very much welcomed by Canadian Border Guards at Toronto's international airport. "Hey, what brings you here?" - "spending our holidays" - "Great. Welcome to Canada". I was only questioned once by Dutch customs at Amsterdam coming back from Aruba, but she was very nice and explained that they have problems with people being misused as drug couriers.

Respectfuly, let's use a bit of common sense here. Officers at the border have about, what, 30 seconds, to initially assess each traveler on whether or not they may be a candidate to have violated any of the laws in this country upon return. That covers a huge field of legislation. They're not there to be your friend, nor the equivalent to a storefront greeter. They know what they are doing, as do most professionals, and what they are looking for, whether it may be apparent to you or not. They don't have the time to explain the whys and what fors, unless of course, everyone is more than happy to wait longer in line than they currently do. Look at it the way the officer looks at it. The countries you visited are all major drug transit routes for cocaine, meth, marijuana and heroin. You've already quoted that these countries appear to have some form of corruption at their borders. You seem to spend some time there. You don't appear to have friends or family there. You have an occupation that can be unreliable in it's ability to provide steady income to fund your travels or to sustain a standard lifestyle. Could you be a legitimate candidate for some form of smuggling? This is how they are trained to think, and it makes sense.

We, my wife and I, had a similar very suspicious Canada Border guard [Vancouver airport] on re entry last year. And we had only been to Australia for 6 weeks. I'm sure all CBG are not like that, but it sure makes travel more pleasant when people of your own country smile and have a welcome home attitude. Australian border officials can give their Canadian brothers some lessons on civility.

I'm really looking forward to running another of my 1 day photography workshops tomorrow. This is the first 1 day workshop of the year. We usually start by having a coffee and a bit of a chat about the basics. Then go off taking shots and work on composition and light. After visiting a few different locations and getting to grips with camera settings we will have a well deserved lunch before working our way round to St. Ouen's for the sunset (hopefully!) Photography is really popular right now and this workshop sold out really quickly. I will be adding additional dates throughout the year, please get in touch if you want to put your name down for the next one.

I ordered the hippie chick collection for my daughter's 6th birthday. Her party is not until August - I'm a planner! But I absolutely love this set! It's too cute! She is really into the peace sign theme, so this stuff will go over great.
