TONEY RIVER, N.S. ŌĆō As the Northumberland Strait lobster season wrapped up at the end of June, it was a tough season for most fishermen.
ŌĆ£Well, it was a challenge,ŌĆØ said Ronny Heighton of the Northumberland FishermenŌĆÖs Association. ŌĆ£We had terrible weather. It was cold, windy and rainy.ŌĆØ
Heighton said the catches were slow in most areas, especially in the waters around Pugwash and Malagash, which are down from last year. He said by the end of the season on June 30, catches would be on par with last year.
Eugene Fortune, who fishes out of Toney River, said his catches are where they should be for this time in the season, but, like most, didnŌĆÖt think the prices were.
With a week to go in the season, the price per pound for canners and markets was $5.25, up from the beginning of the season and up $1 per pound from last year as well.
ŌĆ£The price is all right, but it would have been better at the start of he season,ŌĆØ said Fred Faulkner, adding the cost of bait and fuel went up this year.
Elmer Cameron of Toney River said prices should have been in the $6 to $7 dollar range. Heighton said because the season has been difficult, some fishermen looked for work elsewhere or landed their gear early.
Heighton said after the lobster season ended, some would begin fishing for rock crab, and in late August into early September the herring season will start.
ŌĆ£It is too early a guess on the what the price will be,ŌĆØ said Heighton about the herring season. ŌĆ£Last year it started at $12 per pound and ended at $16 per pound. We did get $22 a pound in 1995.ŌĆØ

Brewers oust Astros in 10 after Zack Greinke starts second straight day
HOUSTON -- Just before his second straight start on Sunday, Zack Greinke was excited to learn that when he takes the mound after the All-Star break he'll become the first pitcher to start three games in a row in one season since 1917.
After giving up three early runs, he grew worried he could end up losing them all."I was like: 'It's cool to get three straight starts, but if you lose all three of them, that would be the worst thing ever,' " said Greinke, who took Saturday's loss.His team ensured he'll avoid that fate by rallying late for a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros in 10 innings.Corey Hart drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning, and Rickie Weeks' third hit added an insurance run in the victory that wrapped up the first half of the season for both teams.Nyjer Morgan walked to start the 10th and Fernando Rodriguez (1-8) intentionally walked Ryan Braun before a wild pitch moved the pair over.Rodriguez walked Aramis Ramirez to load the bases before Hart's full-count grounder put Milwaukee on top. Weeks, who homered in the second, singled in the 10th.Braun's RBI single tied it at 3 in the eighth and got Greinke off the hook after he allowed three runs in the first.Manny Parra (1-3) pitched a perfect ninth for the win and John Axford allowed two hits in a scoreless 10th for his 15th save.Greinke threw just four pitches Saturday before he was ejected after spiking the ball following a close play at first base during a 6-3 loss at Houston. So the Brewers gave him another shot on Sunday."Overall it wasn't great, but we played until the end and everyone else did their part and we pulled a win out of it," he said.Greinke is the first pitcher in the majors to start consecutive games since C.J. Wilson of the Angels on May 11-12.The last Brewers pitcher to start consecutive games was CC Sabathia, who started the game before and after the All-Star break in 2008.Greinke also is scheduled to start Milwaukee's first game after the break on Friday. That would make him the first pitcher to start three straight games in one season since Red Faber for the Chicago White Sox in 1917, according to stats provided by the Brewers from the Elias Sports Bureau."I'm considering it a record. Even though it's been done before, I feel like it's the first time ever being done," Greinke said. "I'm excited about it. Hopefully the results will be better. I think it's really neat, but I don't know if anyone else does."Much like the day before, things went wrong quickly on Sunday for the 2009 AL Cy Young winner.But after the Astros jumped on Greinke in the first inning, they were unable to muster much offense the rest of the way.Greinke settled down after that to pitch two scoreless innings before being replaced by Marco Estrada, who was originally scheduled to start Sunday. Greinke allowed five hits and three runs with five strikeouts."Zack struggled a little bit in the first inning and that kept him from going deeper into the game," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The next two innings (he was) OK. He was fatigued after that."The solo homer by Weeks in the second inning gave him two in the last three games. He finished the series 4 for 12 with two homers and five RBIs, an encouraging performance after scuffling at the plate this season.Houston starter Jordan Lyles retired 10 straight before Braun doubled to start the sixth. Ramirez sent him home with a single to center field to cut Houston's lead to 3-2.Scott Moore extended his hitting streak to a career-high nine games with a two-out single in the second inning. But the Astros offense went cold after that, and Houston didn't get another baserunner until Jed Lowrie walked to start the bottom of the sixth.The Brewers still faced the minimum in that inning thanks to a double play, and relievers Jose Veras, Francisco Rodriguez and Parra shut down Houston for the next three innings."We just could not get anything started," Houston manager Brad Mills said. "That was the biggest thing."Jordan Schafer led off with a single and scored on a double by Jose Altuve. A wild pitch followed before Greinke got the first out. J.D. Martinez pushed the lead to 2-0 with a run-scoring single before a two-out single by Chris Johnson.Brian Bogusevic walked before a bases-loaded walk by Chris Snyder sent another runner home.He finally got out of the inning by striking out Lyles on his 39th pitch.Game notes
Milwaukee optioned INF Taylor Green to Triple-A Nashville ... Houston optioned INF Matt Dominguez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. ... Houston OF Justin Maxwell, on the DL with an injured left ankle, went 1 for 4 in his second rehabilitation start for Oklahoma City on Saturday night and Mills expects him to come off the DL on Friday. ... Houston reliever Wilton Lopez, on the DL with a sprained right elbow, pitched one inning in his second rehabilitation start for Oklahoma City on Saturday night.

Probiotics: The Good Bacteria
by Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, January 26, 2009"Probiotic" — seems like that word pops up more and more in the dairy aisle these days. Many foods are sporting probiotic labels and promising digestive bliss, but does this bacteria deserve all the hype? Here are the basics.
What Are Probiotics?
These are live microorganisms that help keep your digestive system in working order. Your digestive tract is teeming with bacteria — the good guys help breakdown food, while the bad guys can cause illness. Since only a certain amount of bacteria occupies your digestive tract at one time, eating probiotics helps outnumber unhealthy bacteria. Keeping a balance of good regulates digestion and may also benefit the immune system.
Sources of Probiotics
Probiotics are in yogurt, some cheeses and fermented dairy products such as kefir, a cultured milk beverage that tastes similar to yogurt, only thinner.
When probiotic browsing, check labels for the two most common ones: Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. On an ingredient list, these are usually abbreviated as "L." or "B." followed by the specific species name (examples: L. acidophilus, L. casei, B. bifidum and B. Longum). Don't worry about looking for special packaging or paying a premium; most yogurt products contain these types of good bacteria. Probiotics are also in non-dairy foods — soy products such as miso and tempeh. Some snack foods — granola bars, for example — have them added.
Supplements are also available in capsule and powder forms. Folks often take probiotic pills to help alleviate an upset stomach while traveling. And if you're on antibiotics, you may want to take in some extra probiotics (from food or supplements); antibiotic medications zap all the bacteria in your body — healthy and unhealthy. But remember, before taking any supplements while on medication (or anytime really), check with your doctor.
Ways to Enjoy Them
If you're worried about it affecting your diet, no need. Foods with probiotics tend to be whole foods that are loaded with nutrients. Nonfat or low-fat yogurt is an easy snack; you can also add it to salad dressings or beverages. Try a mango lassi to cool off a spicy meal or add yogurt to a flavorful meat marinade. Kefir gives smoothies creaminess and tang.
For more on the science and specifics of probiotics, check out the National Institutes of Health.
- Recipes to try:
- Mango Lassi
- Pineapple Mama Smoothie
- Green Herb Dip

Thanks for the healthy info! Where do you find miso soup, or Miso, whatever that is? also, where do you purchase the Kefir starter culture?
Miso paste is the main ingredient in miso soup. You can also add it to sauces and marinades – I like to put some in homemade salad dressings. Look for miso paste at large grocery stores or Asian markets, it will be in the refrigerated section.
If anyone out there has Crohn's disease, try probiotics{everyday}I feel they have saved my life. I have a life now and before, I felt like I didn't. Give it a try. God Bless.
Joyce Barnes Please contact me asap regarding Crohns disease
Very good post. Organic living has been one of the several topics about health. Many people have been concerned with healthy eating and have found probiotics to keep the body healthy. Probiotics are being used as as dietary supplements.
My understanding is that many yogurts are made using a probiotic but then it is killed during the final processing. The ones that have processed it in a way that preserves the probiotic should have a symbol on the package… it has the letters LAC inside of a little rectangle and mine also has the words Live and Active Cultures written next to it. I do have a question….If you cook miso or yogurt into dishes that are hot, does that kill the culture?
Hi Susan
Great question – yes, heat will destroy most (if not all of ) the bacteria in yogurt and miso – so it's best to get your probiotics from chilled yogurt and other cultured milk products like kefir. -
I think everything said was very logical. But, think about this, what if you added a little information? I am not suggesting your content isn't solid, but suppose you added a title that grabbed folk's attention? I mean Probiotics: The Good Bacteria | Healthy Eats – Food Network Healthy Living Blog is kinda vanilla. You might look at Yahoo's front page and note how they write article titles to grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. Just my opinion, it would make your website a little bit more interesting.
I hardly comment, but i did a few searching and wound up here Probiotics: The Good Bacteria | Healthy Eats – Food Network Healthy Living Blog. And I do have a couple of questions for you if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it seem like some of the comments appear as if they are written by brain dead people? And, if you are writing at additional online sites, I'd like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you make a list of all of your social pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
I think that everything posted was very reasonable. However, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I ain't suggesting your information is not good, but what if you added a headline to possibly grab a person's attention? I mean Probiotics: The Good Bacteria | Healthy Eats – Food Network Healthy Living Blog is a little boring. You ought to look at Yahoo's front page and watch how they create article headlines to grab people to open the links. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab readers interested about what you've written. In my opinion, it could bring your website a little bit more interesting.

For the chocolate sauce bring 100g double cream and 1 teaspoon of caster sugar to just boiling, remove from heat and melt in 100g plain chocolate. A simple recipe from Delicious magazines advertiser Bonne Maman who make te 'butter crunch biscuits'.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Nova Scotia Cotton Manufacturing Company was a cotton mill located in Halifax, Nova Scotia which was founded in 1882 and destroyed with great loss of life by the Halifax Explosion in 1917.
The company was formed as part of an effort to industrialize the Maritime provinces of Canada and switch from merchant shipping to manufacturing under Canada's National Policy. Typical of the regional enthusiasm for industry in the 1880s, the company was quickly capitalized by 32 local investors within two weeks, drawn from a who's who of Halifax manufacturers, merchants and business leaders including railway engineer Sandford Fleming.[1] Carefully studying other cotton mills, the company built a state-of-the-art mill on Robie Street in North End, Halifax, bringing in textile workers from Lancashire, England. Halifax City Council paid for water mains and subsidized the construction of a five-mile railway spurline from the Intercolonial Railway's yards on the waterfront. The "cotton factory spur", as it came to be known, created Halifax's first industrial park along Robie Street, attracting other factories such as the Silliker Car Works, the Henderson & Potts Paint factory and later the railway shops of the Canadian Government Railways.
The mill began production in 1883. It produced plain cotton with a workforce of 600, half of them women including a dozen girls under 16. By the end of the 1880s, it was the second largest employer in Halifax, after the Acadia Sugar Refinery, and the seventh largest producer of cotton in Canada. The company paid small dividends in the first few years but soon feel into debt and had to cut production, dropping to 317 workers by 1891.[2] The mill found it difficult to compete with much larger textile mills in Montreal and Toronto and provided historians with a classic example of the difficulty of Maritime firms to compete with larger Canadian competitors.[3] It was purchased in January 1891 by the Dominion Cotton Mills Company of Montreal, the first purchase in a string of acquisitions by the Montreal firm which became Dominion Textile.[4]
The mill was destroyed on December 6, 1917 by an accidental explosion of a munitions ship in Halifax Harbour known as the Halifax Explosion. Although almost a mile from the explosion and out-of-sight of the harbour, the mill was devastated by the explosion. The shock wave caused a partial collapse of the concrete floors of the building and started a fire which consumed the building and killed many of the workers.[5]
After the explosion, Dominion Textile shifted production to other mills. The walls and first floor of the mill remained and were roofed over to store supplies for the city's reconstruction. The Halifax lumber and building supply firm Piercey's opened in the former factory in the 1920s and continues to operate from the building today.[6]

Periodontology or Periodontics (from Greek περί peri "around"; and ὀδούς odous "tooth", genitive ὀδόντος odontos) is the specialty of dentistry that studies supporting structures of teeth, as well as diseases and conditions that affect them. The supporting tissues are known as the periodontium, which includes the gingiva (gums), alveolar bone, cementum, and the periodontal ligament. A professional who practices this specialty field of dentistry is known as a periodontist.
Periodontal diseases take on many different forms but are usually a result of a coalescence of bacterial plaque biofilm accumulation of the red complex bacteria (egs. include P. gingivalis, T. forsythus, and T. denticola) of the gingiva and teeth, combined with host immuno-inflammatory mechanisms and other risk factors which lead to destruction of the supporting bone around natural teeth. Untreated, these diseases lead to alveolar bone loss and tooth loss and, to date, continue to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults.
Periodontology also involves the placement and maintenance of dental implants, including the treatment of peri-implantitis which is inflammatory bone loss around dental implants. The etiology of peri-implantitis is thought to be very similar to periodontal disease
Before applying to any postgraduate training program in periodontology one must first complete a dental degree.
Although each European State has its own independent system, an umbrella organization - the European Federation of Periodontology - has the ability to accredit post-graduate programs according to specific guidelines. The EFP awards a certificate of specialized training in periodontology, periodontics and implant dentistry to every successful European candidates after 3 years of full-time training in an accreditted post-graduate program. The graduate programs that have been approved are the following: Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (nl), University of Bern, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Institute for Postgraduate Dental Education Jönköping, UCL Eastman Dental Institute, Université catholique de Louvain, University Complutense in Madrid, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel, the Technion in Haifa in Israel, University of Dublin, Trinity College, University of Strasbourg in France, Paris Diderot University at Rothschild hospital.
Australian programs are accredited by the Australian Dental Council (ADC) and are 3 years in length and culminate with either a Master degree (MDS) or a Doctor of Clinical Dentistry degree (DClinDent). Fellowship can then be obtained with the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, FRACDS (Perio).
Canadian programs are accredited by the (CDAC) and are a minimum of three years in length and usually culminate with a master (MSc or MDent) degree. Graduates are then eligible to sit for the Fellowship exams with the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (FRCD (C)).
Periodontics is offered as a specialization field of dentistry in India. Periodontists attend a Master of Dental Surgery (M.D.S) program affiliated with dental schools in India. The minimum qualification required for the M.D.S degree is a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (B.D.S) degree.
The British Society of periodontology exists to promote the art and science of periodontology. Their membership includes specialist practitioners, periodontists, general dentists, consultants and trainees in restorative dentistry, clinical academics, dental hygienists and therapists, specialist trainees in periodontology and many others.
Specialist training in periodontics in the UK is either a three year full-time or four years at three days per week. At the end of the training, candidates are awarded a Master of Clinical Dentistry (MClinDent) before being entered on the specialist list held by the General Dental Council.
The American Dental Association (ADA) accredited programs are a minimum of three years in length. According to the American Academy of Periodontology, U.S.-trained periodontists are specialists in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases and oral inflammation, and in the placement and maintenance of dental implants.[1] Many periodontists also diagnose and treat oral pathology and periodontics was the historical basis for the specialty of oral medicine. Following successful completion of post-graduate training a periodontist becomes Board eligible for the American Board of Periodontology examination. Successful completion of board certification results in Diplomate status in the American Board of Periodontology.

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
One of Greece's most romantic destinations, Monemvassia village is the site of a medieval castle marooned on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by a tangle of stone houses. Camouflaged in the citrus-scented hills, the 27-room Kinsterna is only about four miles away, and equally romantic. Immaculately restored, the 500-year-old mansion is named for a Byzantine cistern system that still snakes through the property, sidestepping a lone orange tree and spilling springwater into an angular pool. Lounge chairs set up in stone alcoves welcome guests to bask in the stillness and gaze at the sea (only a 15-minute walk away). Interiors subtly bridge the Byzantine, Ottoman, and Venetian phases of the building's checkered history. Soothing pale grays are jazzed up by a mix of old and modern: richly textured kilims and antique chests, gold Kartell lamps and transparent Ghost chairs. Treats abound: Champagne is standard at breakfast, the first raid of the minibar is free, and there's a hot tub outside the sultry little spa. If you can muster the energy, explore the hiking trails on the grounds; the likable staff will pack you a picnic. 2011 Hot ListWhich room to book: Top-floor suites have the best views and catch the sea breeze.

text: Well guess what, you inadvertantly explained my usual day, just with out the constant changing of shifts. In any case, yeah, thats usualy the case for me, not having much time and constantly worring about work and all that and I have to work 9 hour days. Yay me. I don't think I need to go into to much detail sense you and I are in the same priverbial boat. I get Saterday and Sunday off but have no one really to spend it with. I don't have very many friends and they are always buisy with something else. My friend Mark is always at college and when he is home he is studdeing and or working on a project. His brother Vlad joined the USAF so I never see him any more. Nick#1 turned into a huge arse and has lost all my respect so I don't talk to him any more. Nick#2 moved to Ohio. Gary is constantly looking for a job/getting fired and being evicted from places, and Kat is always hangs around her boyfriend. All I have are my two younger brothers to hang out with but neither of them really wants to do anything or when they do they go to there friends houses and then I have no one. Speaking of no one, I have no love life either... Which after TWO YEARS I am still single... Which has gotten really old really fast. So in a nut shell, I have no one to spend time with when I do have time.

I am interested in information pertaining to the ancestors or decendents of John McLoughlin and Mary Moore who immigrated to Red Bank, NJ in the early 1850's and eventually found themselves in Zanesville, OH. You can find the information I currently have under the "Decendents of Lawrence McLoughlin". I am also interested in ancestors and decendents of Wilhelm Kistner and Ludwika Boehm who immigrated from Germany and Austria in the late 1880's to early 1890's. Their decendents are centered in Indianapolis, IN. You can find the information I currently have under the "Decendents of Boenisch". I am also interested in the ancestors of Edward Dams who immigrated from Germany near the turn of the century and settled in the Cincinnati, OH area and in the ancestors of Frank Gorsler also in the Cincinnati, OH area. I am also interested in finding information on the following individuals: Charles Dietz (b. abt 1884, d. 1918) and spouse Margaret Myer (b. abt 1884, d. 1918, daughter of Emma Biderhake) both died in flu epidemic in Cincinnati, OH area. They had a daughter Ruth Dietz Dames (b.15 May 1907, d. Feb 1985, spouse Harry George Dames (b.22 Nov 1905, d. 24 Aug 1989)). Emma Lubbering (b. 1870-1880) of Cincinnati, OH, and her spouse, Edward Dams (b. bef 1878, Germany, d. 15 Sep 1954, Cincinnati, OH). Elizabeth V. Harrison (b. 1832, North Bend, OH, granddaughter of William Henry Harrrison, 9th President of US.) and her spouse Lyman Henry Burr. |

It's New Years Eve 2013 and the energy shift for 2014 has already started to gently arrive. 2014 is shaping up to be a very introspective year. The calm and rest before the full power opportunities of 2015 join us. So lets take a minute to get our heads around the current energy journey that our planet and the human souls on it are taking.
It is pretty commonly accepted now that we are in a changing time. The only part that is up for question is 'how much change?". My money is on the bigger end of the change opportunity spectrum. Largely I believe this because of the information I have received while channeling and meditating. However if I put that aside for just a minute, it makes sense. If there was ever going to be a time when humans were capable of accepting great and fast change, it would be now. With the information age in full swing, we are more adaptable than ever before.
When I look at it from an intuitive knowledge standpoint, it makes even more sense. For the past 2 to 3 decades, we have been experiencing vibrational lifts and downloads that have not only supported us to know how to grow and move forward, but have also been pushing us to clear karma and past life issues. People have been coming in for healings with intense experiences that are cause by past life curses and hexes etc. Issues that are creating overwhelming health and life problems. The universe is telling us to clear these, and clear them quickly! To do this, they make the experiences more and more intense till we finally seek help. Why?
Well this is my belief/ Understanding.
This planet has had several incarnations. For example, life before 'Noah's big Flood' would have been another incarnation. From the past life images I have seen of this time, I believe, the soul experience on earth in the other earth incarnations was more different than most would think.
You see if we look at the current experience there are fundamental building blocks that are part of everyone's journey. Gravity, time, cause and effect etc. I also believe that we all have the duel experience of looking at life in the for aspects of physical, mental, emotional or spiritual.
From my experience the past life experiences based in Pre flood times, Lemuria or Atlantis, do not have the same building block experiences.
While I could write allot more about those memories, the question that should be asked is why is that insight of past earth experiences relevant to life in 2014?
The answer is, because all the signs are pointing to another big shift to another group of life experiences on earth. It is my understanding that this time most of us have asked to stay and experience the shift.
Over the last few years we have been completing the experiences of this era. For example- Karma, tieing up the loose ends of past life experiences and coming to peace with past struggles. Connections with others were often made through a shared experience, often a negative one. People often found themselves over sharing personal information in an attempt to connect on an emotional level. The end of the past ear has been especially focused on learning about emotions and how they work.
To emerge through this aspect of the shift, we are being asked to shift from a "misery" emotional connection focus, into a "celebration" emotional connection focus. IE When you are looking for that common emotional experience with someone to create a bond, Look for a celebration moment to share. This is the higher vibrational emotional experience.
The majority of society this part of the shift is 80% done. (at least this is what we observe in the clients in the NZ and others countries eg english speaking countries and scandinavia)

Twigs & Trees with Rhonda: Putting Your Research to the Test
For the purposes of this article, I am including not only well-known lineage societies such as the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Society of Mayflower Descendants, but also those pioneer programs supported by many genealogy societies. |
National Societies
In the case of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a potential member must prove descent from someone who offered service to the American Revolution. This service did not necessarily have to be as a soldier since there were other ways to participate as well. For more information, interested parties should visit the DAR Web site.
The General Society of Mayflower Descendants requires that you prove descent from a passenger on the Mayflower. Additional information on this society can be found by visiting their Web site.
Proving Pioneers
In addition to these societies, many genealogical societies offer pioneer projects. These projects are designed to award individuals who can prove descent from an individual who was living in the state or county by a specified time. Two such programs are those offered through the Ohio Genealogical Society and the Florida State Genealogical Society.
Both of these programs require that you prove descent from an individual living in the state by a certain time. For those interested in Ohio, the individual had to be a resident by 31 Dec 1820. For Florida, the person had to be a resident prior to 3 Mar 1845, the date Florida achieved statehood.
Personal Experience
Having recently gone through the process, I must say that I found it to be a learning experience. As I put together my packet for submission to the Ohio Genealogical Society, I found myself having to pay close attention to my documentation. When submitting the work, you are required to document, and supply that document, for each of the dates and relationships listed in the application form. This is similar to the requirements of the other lineage societies.
Such an application forces you to evaluate your research. As you evaluate your research, it is helpful to pretend as though you were looking through another set of eyes. You will undoubtedly be harder on yourself and more critical of your research because you know that it is going to be honestly evaluated by someone else. Knowing this forces you, okay it forced me, to demand the best of myself in my research.
In Conclusion
Many states offer similar pioneer programs. There are also many other national organizations that require you to prove your descent from a qualifying individual. Some of them are related to the various wars, others may have to do with an occupation. Regardless of what the criteria, the important thing is in submitting your work for evaluation. It can be a learning experience.

Mutual Surrender
I think adding a mutual surrender to the game would add another level of sportsmanship that this game could use.
I dont know how many times I have gone into a game and the other team or mine instantly loses somebody due to lag or w/e the issue may be and its a free win for the opposing team. I have been on both sides and I dislike it on both ends. I play this game to have fun and be competitive and when somebody is Dc'ing like crazy it just makes that particular game boring and unchallenging for both teams. If you added a surrender button that both teams could vote on where nobody got a loss or a win I think that would help alot, especially in ranked games because I would hate to either lose or win without either myself or the opposing team earning it. Thanks |
I completely agree to this.
so a Draw option
how will that show up on stats? |
Absolutely agree with this, this should be highly considered. I hate when people on my team lag DC, I equally hate when they lose players. I am all about taking a loss if I deserve it, I also feel that if it's a 5v5 that I am losing at, if they get a DCed player and are owning us 5v5 then 4v5 changes the tide I'd like to call a draw. They honestly were better and or made the better choices in the game. I don't think they deserve a loss for having a person with terrible connection on their team decide if they will win or not.
Please include this in your upcoming meeting, RIOT, thanks. |
This sounds like a great idea. Make it only available upon a DC and available immediately so that people don't need to waste 15-25 minutes of their time.
I agree, two games yesterday, opponents on the other team left 5-10 minutes in and we pretty much rolled the other team. All I could say at the end was "Sorry"
It sucks when you get a leaver/DC at the start of the game like that. Though well intentioned, I don't think the masses could give up the free Elo being served up to them with this feature. But it would be nice to hope. |
Whole-heartedly agreed
A mutual surrender doesn't make sense, but agreeing to a draw does.

My back has been injured because my boss took away my doctor prescribed therapeutic chair with wheels for a cheap chair without wheels. After sitting in this cheap chair for two hours, my back was in a lot of pain. I told her and she said that's the chair you get.
After almost two weeks of sitting in this chair, I could barely walk. I would like to charge her for all the pain and suffering I've been through since December 2012. There are more details. I need to know if some lawyer can help me.

Experts said the volcano eruption in Changbai Mountain in 2014 there is no scientific basis
Posted by admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Volcanic magma deep underground areas of activities like the human breath , every breath , it could be an upwelling of magma would form a variety of abnormalities in the surface , replica designer handbagscalled the active period. Tianchi volcano since 2006 has been in a calm state , which may mean a new active phase is about to come.
Changbai Korean media reported outbreak in 2014
Volcanic eruptions, the airport closed , acid rain, … … could you come in April of this year , twice the outbreak of the volcano in southern Iceland, the global impact in mind. Recently, South Korean media be exposed alarming message :SciencePredict , the Chinese Changbai outbreak in 2014 .
According to Yonhap news agency reported , the Meteorological Agency in South Korea on June 16 held a seminar, Pusan National University Department of Earth Sciences Professor Yincheng Xiao said that Chinese scholars volcano , Changbai Mountain (South Korea said Baekdu ) in 2014-2015 The possibility of the outbreak of great years . Changbai Mountain is currently considered dormant , Yincheng Xiao said that the inability to obtain detailed information , can not predict the correct period of eruption , but it is certain that in the near future, the possibility of a great eruption in Changbai Mountain .replica designer handbags
Yincheng Xiao pointed out that in June 2002 , China's northeast Jilin Province Wangqing Richter magnitude 7.3 earthquake , the increasing frequency of Changbai Mountain earthquake occurred 10 times , the terrain gradually becomes higher Tianchi , Heavenly Lake and the surrounding forest often eruption of gas . In addition, the seismic wave analysis , Changbai Mountain underground magma has four overlapping distribution, and location on the bottom of Tianchi .
Yincheng Xiao Changbai and even dropped compared to the volcanic eruption in Iceland , when Iceland's volcanic eruption of only 0.11 cubic kilometers of the total emissions , due to produce large amounts of water vapor , emitting ash , causing more damage. However, considering the top of the Heavenly Lake in Changbai Mountain has 2 billion tons of water , its power would far exceed the outbreak of Iceland volcano .
Tianchi been traveling all know , the local scenic , steep and towering peaks , tall and straight Majestic , very spectacular , with crystal clear blue water Tianchi pavilions , beautiful , with well-preserved virgin forests , is an excellent Tourist destination . Are these views will be lost forever ?
Major eruption of Changbai Mountain in 2014 no real scientific basis
With questions , the reporter interviewed several experts on volcanic studies .
" said the 2014 eruption of Changbai no substantial scientific basis . " Honorary Director of Professional Committee of China's volcano , Chinese Academy of Sciences Academician Liu Jiaqi told the "Beijing Science and Technology News . "
" According to the current level of world science and technology , scientists have not made a few years ago by a volcanic eruption forecasting . " volcanoes in China Society , China Disaster Prevention Association Professional Committee of volcanoes , the Chinese Institute of Geology Qi-Cheng Fan researcher told the " Beijing Science and Technology Newspaper. "
Reporter Geological Research Center, China Seismological Bureau, Jian-Dong Xu Research Fellow volcanic activities office , two experts found to support the scientific basis .
"We are monitoring the Changbai volcano has been 10 years old , according to our monitoring station received the latest monitoring data , at present, the data are in the Changbai volcano stable period, without any signs of eruption . " Jian-Dong Xu told the "Beijing Science and Technology News . "
Jian-Dong Xu volcanic activity where the laboratory is a summary of all the country between volcano monitoring station . Jilin is now on the volcano, Changbai Longgang volcano, Tengchong volcanoes, volcanic Wudalianchi Heilongjiang , Heilongjiang Jingpohu Volcano and other volcanoes and volcanic six volcano monitoring network was established . Network monitoring data upload these to the research center located in Volcano National Volcanic Network Centre, which is responsible for monitoring data throughout the collection, data analysis, data storage management, and also take exception to judge volcano , volcanic disaster analysis , organizations will And reporting and other business tasks . Can be said that as long as six key volcano " sign of trouble , " National Volcano Network Center should first master .
In Jian-Dong Xu 's computer, the reporter saw from 1999 to 2009 , the Changbai Mountain Changbai volcano monitoring station on the observation data charts show that the observed data are in a stable in 2008,2009 -year period, even data from previous years still Low .
Changbai Mountain is the most spectacular eruption in Chinese history , the most active and most dangerous volcano
Although the 2014 outbreak of the Changbai Mountain is without any scientific basis , but Jian-Dong Xu admitted that South Korean media reports is not "smoke . "
" eruption of Changbai Mountain in Chinese history, the most spectacular , the most active and most dangerous active volcano , it has been the Tengchong volcano monitoring the emphasis of our focus . " Jian-Dong Xu said that 10 years on the Changbaishang Mountain integrated the monitoring data, we found Changbai Mountain was in 2002 and 2005 unusually active , the observation data has significantly increased . This includes the obvious increase in seismic activity , surface uplift and expansion as well as a variety of fluid chemical anomalies . Research and seismic deformation simulations show that in recent years Tianchi volcanic activity may be caused by magmatic activity below the . But that does not lead to abnormal activities of volcanic eruptions , and calm restored in 2005 . Volcanic magma deep underground areas of activities like the human breath , every breath , it could be an upwelling of magma would form a variety of abnormalities in the surface , called the active period. Tianchi volcano since 2006 has been in a calm state , which may mean a new active phase is about to come. vertu-call-phone
" South Korean experts and the media may be wrongly interpreted as a large outbreak of the active period that has caused this false alarm . periodic upwelling of magma , and not a direct result of volcanic eruptions . " Jian-Dong Xu stressed .
Jian-Dong Xu explained that the volcanic eruption that is deep in the ground , rocks melt under high temperature and pressure of magma into the fluid state , under certain conditions these magma Magma rise towards the surface along the migration , if the surface will form a volcanic eruption ejected . Underground magma to the surface after spraying , some spray to the height and then fall to some outflow from the ground , the jet flow near the exit or in its channels , condensation to form various forms of deposits .
To live in peace with the volcano , it is necessary to understand the habits of volcanoes , touch its temper , know when to quiet, when angry . Current human activity on the volcano monitoring and prediction of the level of it ?
Volcanic activity monitoring and forecasting accuracy rate than the earthquake prediction
Compared with the earthquake prediction , Liu Jiaqi academicians believe that our monitoring and forecasting of the volcanic activity to be realistic , accurate, high rate than the earthquake . Earthquake prediction has three main elements: time, place and intensity of these three elements are not well established . The eruption is usually recorded in the volcanic eruption had occurred , relatively easy to lock the place . Volcano eruption prediction is more difficult time , size and type .
Jian-Dong Xu told reporters that at present, the use of seismic monitoring of volcanic activity is the most common and one of the most important ways , topography , geochemical anomalies and other elements are also monitoring the volcanic eruption of precursory signals .
Human beings have some examples of successful prediction of volcanic eruptions . Such as the 2000 eruption Usu in Hokkaido, Japan forecast is quite accurate, as accurate prediction , a week ahead of the local government evacuated the residents , not killing one person .
However, Liu Jiaqi academicians believe that the volcanic eruption forecasting is still a scientific problem to be overcome , so that accurate forecasting long way to go .
Iceland , Italy, Japan and other advanced countries compared to China's volcano monitoring and forecasting work has only just started, at the stage of accumulation of data .
Academician Liu Jiaqi , these gaps in particular in: time monitoring, data accumulated less of low level , such as the flow of volcanic seismic network monitoring , GPS observations , deformation, geochemistry and so little information to rely on such information Difficult to quantify the risk of their activities , observation data recording , transmission and analysis of skill levels are low . The evaluation of volcanic hazards based on the field investigation , detection and testing work has been achieved is not enough to risk of future eruption of the volcano and volcanic hazards to make a quantitative assessment of the degree .
Although we in Jilin volcano, Changbai Longgang volcano, Tengchong volcano , Heilongjiang Wudalianchi volcano, volcanoes , and Jingbo Lake in Heilongjiang Volcano volcano monitoring network was established , but Liu Jiaqi academician that the distribution of the monitoring network , monitoring Data accuracy and degree of concern with the government are a lot worse .
" Italy, Mount Etna , a monitoring station there is more than 150 full-time research staff , and our current count part-time researchers , volcano monitoring, involving less than 100 . " Academician Liu Jiaqi said .
China's Changbai Mountains , Wudalianchi are active volcanoes , the whole eastern part of the Pacific volcanic chain surrounded by neighboring countries such as Japan , the Philippines, Indonesia and Russia ( Far East ) are more intense volcanic and volcanic activity in countries once volcanic eruption Will impact on China .

The Virtual Book Club for Kids is featuring books by Amy Krouse Rosenthal for the month of October. We enjoyed reading Little Pea, Little Oink, Spoon, and Yes Day!, but our favorite book was Little Hoot. We did a little owl craft and recreated scenes from the book.
Little Hoot
Little Hoot is a young owl who does not like bedtime. You see, owls have to stay up really late, but Little Hoot just wants to go to bed early like his friends. He spends the moments awaiting his bed time playing and asking his parents if he can go to bed yet. It is a really cute story that we've read again and again.
Owl Craft
I found this little owl craft kit at Michael's. With a 50% off coupon, it cost around 70 cents. I couldn't resist. Even if you don't have the owl craft kit, you can make your own owl with the same materials. {Although the craft kit probably costs less than all of the individual pieces.} To make an owl, you'll need a pom pom, some felt, and googly eyes.
The pom pom is for the owl's body. Cut the owl's head, background of eyes, beak, wings, and feet from felt. I hot glued all of the pieces together. {Aiden sat and watched.} After the owls were dry {the owl kit has enough materials for 4 owls}, we started playing.
Play Scenes from Little Hoot
Aiden chose some scenes from the book to recreate. While waiting for his bedtime Little Hoot has a ton of fun playing.
Little Hoot made a paper hat and used a stick for a sword.
Little Hoot plays on a jungle gym. {The jungle gym is made from pipe cleaners/fuzzy sticks.}
Little Hoot jumps in a pile of leaves.
In the story, Little Hoot also builds a fort, jumps on his bed, and rides on his skate board. Aiden didn't want to recreate those scenes. He wanted Little Hoot and the three other owls {mom, dad, and a friend} to play in the apples. They've also been seen climbing all over Lego towers and flying around the house.
Recreating scenes from books like Little Hoot is always tons of fun. The play scenes allow for a wonderful set to bring life to the story {and even add new chapters to the adventures}. Try making your own scenes and see imaginations go to work!

Got Letty Sunday, everybody in the family wants her. She has been fantastic with kids, other dogs and everybody else. Just wanted to say thank you so much and if there is anything we can do to help PFP in any way please let us know! Ronnie Davis
Bo was adopted awhile back by Nathan Ihrig. Here is Bo's update!
"Bo is doing great. He is part of our family and we love him. He likes to eat and go on walks. He has endless amounts of energy, loves to get in our pool. We are going to obedience school on Friday to work on a few things. We could not ask for a better pet. We feel lucky to have him!"
They have been such a joy to have and are full of personality. We just celebrated their 5th birthday. Harry (the spotted one) started getting sick a little over a month ago, and we found out he is diabetic. He is now getting 2 shots of insulin a day and is doing great after several weeks of adjusting the dosage. He is back to the same ole boy he has always been!!
Thank you so much for being so friendly and for all you do for these furbabies! We are truly blessed to have them in our family!
Barbara Hall
We are so happy with our new baby! We adopted Otis (who we re-named Ollie) a little over a month ago. We are so thrilled with him and with the experience we had at the shelter. Ollie has found a home where he is loved and gives love. He could not be more perfect for our family. He loves his golden retriever brother, his lab sister and especially his cat! He is so smart and friendly! He was trained to use the dog door to go potty in less than a day. We could not be more thrilled with Ollie or with the people at HSOET! Hopefully, we will be able to find a way to give back to this awesome organization that has meant so much to our family! Thank you and God bless you for your work!

I adopted Missy on December 23, 2011. That day I renamed her Chrissy, in honor of Christmas and she was a Christmas gift to myself. About 3 weeks prior to adopting her, I tragically lost my beloved Jude, so I had been grieving for a while. I put in a lot of thought and prayer as to whether I should get another dog. I picked out "Missy" from your website pictures and drove out to meet her before submitting an application. Having Missy/Chrissy has been a blessing and I am so glad to have her as a member of the family. She gets along well with my other dogs and, most importantly, with my 2 year old grandson. Chrissy is my bed buddy, and fills a void in my heart. I love her as if I have always had her. Thank you HSOET.
Your website is easy to navigate, the employees I met during the adoption process were courteous and friendly. You provide a great service.
Lisa Burden–"Grateful companion of Chrissy:)"
We adopted Beaux the Boxer the weekend before Christmas. What a wonderful animal he is. He is everything you would want in a dog and is a typical boxer, loving but yet a real clown when he plays!
Thank you Terry and HSOET for allowing us to adopt this very special dog.
Pat and Rod Stalker
We adopted Buddy last Sunday, December 10th. We can not THANK YOU enough for the most AWESOME friend! Buddy is the perfect addition to our family! He is protective of the grandbabies, does good with the cat, follows all commands, and on a few occassions he's been left alone and has been fine. No whining, barking or destruction.
When we get to Mexico will send more. She is wonderful! Sleeps with us in bed every night, she sleeps on her back with her legs straight up in the air. So cute! No messes at all in the house, she is very gentle. We are working on the basic's. Walk walk walk every day, She runs with Ceresa, before she takes off to work everyday. She loves Ceresa, the min. she walks in the house she runs and gets her toys and takes them to her. When you take out the lease for the run, she is so happy and excited, but sits very calmly to have her lease snapped on her collar. She has learned to go up and down the stairs and follows me every where. She was shy at first with Danny, but now loves him when he comes through the door. Still a little shy at first with men. She was made for us! We love her. The last pix is our other pound puppy, he is 8 years old we got him when he was a baby. (Raggedy) Thank you all!
Cindy, Danny and Teeka Ballard. 8-)
Hey HSOET! About 2 months ago we adopted our angel and love, Lucky. He has been such a great dog and we love him to death! I just wanted to let yall know how he is doing. He loves our two older dogs and he plays with them all the time. He likes to crawl into your lap and sleep with you. In fact, as I type this he is asleep in my lap. Lucky is such a gift and I can't thank HSOET enough!
Thank you so much for "adopting us" to Grendall, I say that as he really seems to have taken to us. We know you had a lot of folks to go through to decide who to adopt him out to and that can't be an easy job. He slept like a rock last night and woke up wagging his tail this morning. He seems quite comfortable walking on a leash and has all but stopped pulling. We couldn't be more pleased. I wanted to say that after visiting your place I was extremely impressed. You can feel the level of compassion for the animals there. Thanks again.

Well, MGB is great, my life is not right now. Today is the first day that I am really having to hold myself back from wanting to drown my sorrows in food. Today, I wish I had not had the surgery! Right now food is the only thing that I can think of that will make me feel better temporarily. I guess the key word here is temporarily. I would like to visit fast food heaven, but instead I have had one egg, a ½ piece of Canadian bacon, protein bar and a piece of leftover grilled fish. I'm not quite sure how a quarter pounder w/cheese, fries and a coke would make me feel better now or how it did in the past? I guess you just go with the emotions, and know that tomorrow is a new day. Thank goodness I have this blog to write down some of the feelings that are taking place. I am grateful for the control that MGB has over me because today, control doesn't exist in my mind or vocabulary, it exist in an operation performed 2+ months ago.

Understanding Vital Nutrients
Vitamin C and the 8 B vitamins, including folic acid, niacin, pantothenic acid, and biotin, generally are stored in the body in only small amounts, so you need to eat foods rich in them regularly. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are stored in body fat until used, but you still need a steady supply. To avoid toxicity, do not take large doses.

Useful information: Large doses of vitamin A are toxic and cause liver damage as well as birth defects if consumed during first months of pregnancy. Over time, an excess of vitamin A may also build up and weaken bones. Large doses of beta-carotene can cause skin to yellow and may increase cancer risk in smokers.
