Eating precautions during pregnancy.Posted by Swati S. There are many do's and don'ts when it comes to eating during pregnancy. Here are a few basic tips that I found quite usable. This is a very basic tip, but still works great. Avoid all processed foods and any other products that have little nutritional value. Don't eat raw meat and eggs as it may cause salmonella infection. Maintain a general cleanliness in your cooking and dining area. Once you have defrosted something, don't refreeze it again. Avoid food that has been reheated more than once. Finally, this is something our mothers have always told us, and it works like a charm - always wash your hands before cooking and eating. |

Love , Love ,Love these and have worn them for two summers. I would buy them again and again.
Okay, this makes the 4th time I've tried to leave a review and after I get it finished, it disappears. However, these sandals are so adorable, I'm trying again! These sandals are flirty and sexy and fun. They are dressy enough to wear with nicer outfits, but casual enough to play off jeans, as well. I bought the pewter pair, but have since ordered the bronze and will also buy the black in the near future. The sandals slim down the foot, giving it a very sexy look (made even sexier with some toe nail polish!). Word of warning: it's hard to keep your hands off those beads. They are fun to run your fingers through. I also like the way the beads shimmy and shimmer as you move. It's the wrong time of year to wear them now, but I fully anticipate getting lots of compliments and comments on these come spring.
I didn't think that I would have good luck ordering these sandals because in the past it doesn't work for me not to try them on. I was ordering these sandals to go on a vacation with family and I wanted something cute and fun. These absolutely filled the bill. They fit perfect and looked so cute on. I am so happy that I took a chance on these. They are true to size and you won't be disappointed. I chose the black ones to go with my new outfits and they are super comfortable. Overstock is the best site. I have always had such good luck with them. Wendover 3
Really fun and cute bought the silver/pewter color!
I bought these in all 3 colors and I love them all. They look far more expensive,fit beautifully and are really comfortable. I love the compliments I get everytime I wear them.

Score from 84 reviews
Free wifi (but only an hour a day). Friendly and helpful staff. A pleasant spacious place to stay
Menu in international buffet restaurant very repetitive. Room was not overly well maintained - cupboard door continually stuck for example.
The entrance and welcome is great
The rooms need a make over. Carpets are dirty, and furniture well overdue for new ones. The door to the bathroom is coming undone at the bottom. When showering the whole floor was wet afterwards. The basics you expect from a four star facility was not in the room or bathroom. I could smell smoke from a previous occupant. The evening buffet was definately not worth the money neither was breakfast buffet the next morning. I Was really not impressed.
Comfortable Bed Very good breakfast Good Service on the breakfast
Front desk unfriendly and incapable of communicating with customers. Always on defines and ready to argue over every complaint taken to them. Swimming pool with very few beds, swimming pool bar crew do not pay attention to customers. Constantly talking among them. Took about 1h to get towels, and 1 hour to get a drink that actually never came. The place has potential, but the workers are not up to the job. The cleaning of the room was very poor, dirty glasses were left in the room. The internet system chosen is very poor and does not stand for a 4 stars hotel.
The staff were friendly and helpfull
The river surrounding the pool was not clean
Comfortable bed Very rich breakfast Nice GYM
Staff prefer to argue with the customers A contrast compared to the friendly hotel staff we are used to The swimming pool has a very limited amount of chairs (beds) and shadows considering the number of rooms Waited more than an hour for towels in the swimming pool Waited more than 1h30min for a drink that ended up never coming on the pool bar The young men serving at the pool bar have no training at all, don't know how to prepare cocktails, and are often too busy talking to each other. They pay no attention to customers, forget about the orders. The cleaning of the room is poor There was some sort of equipment assembled near the room door, that made a annoying noise every hour...that made sleeping very difficult. The chosen Internet system is the worse I have ever seen. The hotel gives 300MB a day in the intuition to sell more everyday.
Attractive entrance, dining areas, bar, casino etc. Some of the staff were very friendly. The pool area, trees, pool bar all lead to a 'holiday' feeling, far from the city. Free wifi was a definite bonus.
Very few pool umbrellas and loungers, the area needs to be extended. Pool bar service poor, very slow. The bedrooms need refurbishing, rooms are quite dated
Nice location if you need to stay overnight before taking the flight from Eros airport. Very friendly and helpful people at reception
The venue is excellent!
1. The attitude of staff in the dining room. 2. Poor to no service at the pool bar 3. The poorly operated "spa".
All the staff from reception to security to waiting staff were so sweet with our 18 month old daughter and she pretty much had the run of the place! Very convenient and safe for babies / toddlers. Great food and service with a massive smile at all times, we had such a good stay we went back for lunch on our way back to the airport!
I guess it's not cheap but it was such a comfortable stay with baby in tow, worth every cent.
The buffet was good and the staff very professional
For the type of hotel, the facilities should have been better, and on a Saturday morning they want to check mini bar when guest are still sleeping.
I was traveling alone as a female and the staff made me feel so welcome. I had beautiful purple bedding, lovely tea and snacks and bath salt. The staff even knew my last name.
Excellent personised service by staff especially Jackie at Reception and the barmen at Tappers bar
Wi fi reception was a bit erratic
Little details: broken toilet brush, broken bin, slight shabbiness.
The food, friendly staff, chef coming across for a chat, travel desk assistance, Friday night entertainment & peace & quiet out of town
Room, space, friendly staff, bath, wi-fi
A bit far out of town
The fact that my bed was prepared for the night with a welcome note and chocolate after my late night out.
Lovely comfortable room.Enjoyed the walk on the golf course-lots of birds.Very friendly and obliging staff.Hard to believe you are so close to the city.
Went to breakfast at 9 and dishes like the fruit finished already and not topped up.
F&B Manager shouted at me because my young children were playing outside the dining hall. There were two people sitting outside, the F&B manager herself (having breakfast with) and another co-worker. The food service was un-hygienic (literally have to wave the bugs away from the food). Outside service was extremely slow. It seems like the F&B team is hugely under staffed and the management clearly not customer orientated. Would never recommend the facility.

Considerable debate persists over the prospects for regional economic convergence and the nature of economic growth in a sub-national context. Although endogenous growth theories have been invoked to explain persistent regional income gaps and related empirical phenomena, traditional models have yet to be fully discredited. This paper utilizes a more complete specification of a traditional growth model in an effort to better explain variations in regional per capita income and growth levels. The authors' effort involves a panel analysis of U.S. Gross State Product data that enables controlling for variations in underlying production technologies. They focus on the important role of both human and knowledge capital in specifying regional dimensions of productivity and growth. The use of alternative and unique definitions for knowledge capital inputs leads to an improved empirical understanding of the regional growth process.

Looks like the deal was nixed after the Red Sox got a look at Harden's medical records. Unless he actually has no rotator cuff in his shoulder, I'm not sure what they say that would have been surprising.I'm thinking this deal still gets done but without Lars Anderson and with some even lower rated, "prospect."

Tencent's News Portal Is Differentiating Itself By Using IBM Social Analytics During The World Cup
Posted by Gene Cao on July 2, 2014
Contributed by James McCormick and Allison Smith
Tencent's news portal is one of the largest online news portals in China, with more than 25 channels covering all types of news. Tencent faces fierce competition, which it intends to combat by building its analytics competency. With the eyes of millions of Chinese soccer fans on the World Cup, Tencent has a chance to better target its news and reports by using social analytics — which the news portal did by launching a mini-site of World Cup 2014 coverage. More than 50 advertisers showed interest in the World Cup site, thinking that it would differentiate Tencent's news offerings and draw more traffic. And they were right: The site got more than 3 million hits in the first week of the Cup.
Tencent now has the first social analytics website for sports in China. Supported by IBM's Social Analytics engine and hosted in its SoftLayer data center in Hong Kong, the site aggregates data from most leading Chinese social platforms including Qzone, Renren, Sina Weibo, and Tencent Weibo. Full coverage of these social platforms can help Chinese businesses get a fuller picture of customers to better personalize and target offers. Tencent's news editors also have a separate social analytics tool to find buzzwords or popular terms on social platforms and highlight these attention-getting phrases in their titles and articles.
This investment is delivering two major benefits to Tencent:
- Real-time updates on and off the field attract more soccer fans. Users can now gauge the latest sentiment about each team by analyzing positive and negative tweets on microblogs. It converts variations of related Chinese words used on microblogs into different forms and provides real-time reports about competitions, commentary from soccer experts and former players, and updates about what is happening on and off the field.
- Articles use catchy phrases to attract viewers. Editors can find popular terms, like famous players' nicknames, in real time to help modify the tone of their articles to match the sentiment on social media. This helps make their articles more attractive and thus generate more web visits and social platform sharing than their rivals.
What it means to your business
Tencent parlayed a modest investment in IBM's Social Analytics tool into significant increases in readership and revenue. This shows how the news business can use digital analytics to better understand customer needs and build competencies — at a cost that most Chinese businesses can afford.

It's that rare place where everyone's views are valued, where careful and caring discussion and respect for difference are the guiding rules, not the exception. OCAC is an intentionally small, exceptionally student-centered art college gathering people from all over the country.

Oh, I obviously don't double up on the lane I want, I always fill when I need to, but I'm simply saying that I do not agree Pick>Call.
pick order = the higher on the pick order, the higher your Elo. Which in turn generally means the slightly more experienced or better person. Could be mistaken, but the game is fair. If you're considered the lowest Elo on the team, you go 5th. Like other people said, you can counter pick from there. But I agree it's frustrating calling a role only to have another person who didn't bother to type it, take it. But let them be, you won't help anybody by doubling up on the role. You know this. I know this. So, what are you to do. I believe in the summoners code it says somewhere that pick order trumps calling but you should be flexible to meet the teams needs
Being a good team player begins at champion select. Be open minded when considering the needs of your team. If you're the last one to pick, try to fill a niche in your team that hasn't already been filled. If everyone's picked and something stands out as a deficiency in your team composition, try asking for another player to fill the gap, or change roles to embrace that responsibility yourself. Remember, that by taking on a role you don't normally play, you'll learn more about unfamiliar champions and increase your own skill level. There we go, that's in the summoners code.
Let's say I'm first pick and you are third pick. If you call mid, and I lock in Ryze and say "mid" in chat, it makes me somewhat selfish. It sucks, and I should have been polite enough to at least apologize, but it is what it is, and we play the game. If, however, you then decide to lock in Anivia anyways and go mid, you are in fact a troll who is ruining the game for nine other people. You will be reported and (if you make a habit of it) banned. This is why, at the end of the day, Pick Order > Calling.
I prefer solo top/mid. I always offer to fill, I just prefer lanes that I can control, and the extra gold/XP doesn't hurt.

Ever have those moments that when they happen time stands still for a few seconds, you scrunch your eyebrows together, and go, "Whaaa?" It's like a little mini-shock to the system for whatever reason. I've seemed to have more than my share of those lately.

Right behind cleaning the bathroom, and doing laundry, my least favorite thing to do is go grocery shopping. I'm not really sure why this is, maybe it's the process of trying to keep a rolling total of what I'm buying (including 3 gallons of milk that won't last a week) in order to keep my family on a budget. Worse than grocery shopping, is trying to shop with the kids. Something that would take me an hour by myself,…

III Points Festival: Five Must-See Acts
DJ Shadow gets his revenge
The countdown to the inaugural III Points Music, Technology, and Art Festival has begun, and no doubt you're running around trying to figure out exactly which acts you should see and which ones you can miss. It's tough choosing, but don't worry, we've got your back.
Now, the whole idea behind III Points is to discover the great things Wynwood's got to offer, and to send the rest of the country a message that Miami's counterculture is ready for the big time. So make sure to come out and support as many artists as possible, but that being said, these are the five you really can't sleep on.
See also: III Points Festival Announces Music Schedule
This 18-year-old stunner from Orlando will be warming up the decks for DJ Shadow. But be warned, this will be no ordinary opening set. His recent headlining show at Bardot was easily one of the hypest, dirtiest, most intelligently ratchet sets we've ever experienced. He's a humble guy with earthshaking talents, enough to pique the interest of his own idols. He perfectly blends soulful grooves with interstellar hood swag, creating his own unique style that's both familiar and fresh. No doubt this rising star will have the crowd at Friday's Point Bass turned out by the time he's through.

'Survivor: Caramoan': Corinne on Dawn's Betrayal, Clashing With Phillip and Her Biggest Regret
The show's latest eliminated player gets candid about her time on the island in an interview with THR.
Survivor: Caramoan -- Fans vs. Favorites saw its first major blindside in Wednesday night's episode.
Corinne Kaplan, a 33-year-old clinical consultant from Los Angeles, thought she had enough people on her side to vote out fan Sherri Biethman, which would then give her enough numbers to blindside Phillip Sheppard at the next tribal council. But she didn't and was voted out in a move that clearly surprised the "favorite."
PHOTOS: Jeff Probst's 'Survivor' Picture Diary
Her elimination ends the streak of fans on the losing end of the vote, leaving seven favorites and four fans. But after the tribes merged in Wednesday night's episode, the fans vs. favorites alliances broke down, leading to the end of Corinne's second shot at the $1 million prize.
On Thursday, she spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about being betrayed by Dawn, her biggest regret and what she really thinks about Phillip.
The Hollywood Reporter: How surprised were you at being voted out? Did you have any clue?
Corinne: I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what, but it felt like something was wrong. It wasn't supposed to be anything worse that a tie. I was surprised Erik had flipped for sure. Malcolm said he had him. But I was blindsided.
THR: But you actually thought you had Erik and Dawn on your side, which would have made it a 7-5 vote for Sherri?
Corinne: Yes, I really thought I had Dawn. I didn't know Dawn went back and told them all that stuff. When push came to shove, Cochran showed in [Dawn's] season he wasn't loyal to her. I put a lot of eggs in Dawn's basket. That was an error on my part.
THR: When did you find out she had told everyone what you told her?
Corinne: When I got home from the game.
THR: How surprised were you?
Corinne: I was more hurt than surprised. Honestly, they showed very little of this, but she was my best friend out there. I cared very much for her. The reason I told her is because she was slowly melting down. She went to the well and cried. She was hysterical when Brandon was voted out. She was my best friend and I wanted her to feel safe. I presented her with options to soothe her and give her comfort. She started to freak out, so we went to the well and I said, "Listen, there are a lot of options for us. We're in a good situation. We're not power players. We're not going to get voted out. We can flip if we want." I kept saying, "we, we, we, her and I." Everyone is saying, "Why the hell did you tell Dawn?" But we were in an alliance, and I thought we were going to the end. I presented her options and tried to make her feel better. I didn't say, "Let's do it." I said, "Here are our options." I don't know why she would burn somebody who was so good to her for so long. For 22 days, I held her hand while she cried.
STORY: 'Survivor: Caramoan': Julia on What Went Down With Phillip and Her Tribemate's Insults
THR: Have you spoken to her since you were voted out?
Corinne: I refuse to, actually. I didn't give her my phone number. She's sent me a lot of letters on Facebook, apologizing. I think she genuinely feels badly about it, but she stole the game from me. She stole memories from me that I can't get back. It's hard to forgive that. If it hadn't happened, I would have been friends with her forever. I would have met her kids. I genuinely adored her. She took away something I'll never get back. That's hard to forgive.
THR: Why did you and Phillip clash so badly?
Corinne: I don't know where to begin with that. I obviously have a big personality, and I don't get along well with everybody. But certain people drive you insane. Someone had to get mentally evacuated from the game because of him; he drove Brandon insane. I started with more marbles than Brandon; I didn't go insane. But I was at my breaking point. He was truly, really awful.
THR: Other than confiding in Dawn, do you have any other regrets?
Corinne: My biggest regret was the first vote out, I didn't know Franny [Francesca] and I got to know her post-game. If I had know her personally, I would have taken out Phillip and aligned with her. I only knew her three days at that point. That would have changed the course of the game for everybody; Brandon wouldn't have gone crazy. It would have been a totally different game.
THR: Would you go back and play a third time if asked?
Corinne: I always put my job first. If my job says I can go, why not? It's a great adventure, a free trip. I would always go back if my job would let me. I'm not like other schmucks; I won't campaign to go back. It would not break my heart if I never talked to Jeff Probst again. I have a real job and a career outside the game.
THR: You made the jury your first time around, but not this season. Was that hard to take?
Corinne: That was the hardest part of the whole thing.
THR: Who are you rooting for to win?
Corinne: For sure, Malcolm. When I left, and for months, I've felt so bad, all I could think was I [may have] ruined Malcolm's game. I didn't want to affect him negatively. I felt so bad, like I disappointed Malcolm. I kept wishing the whole time, please let Malcolm go far and win this. I don't want to be the reason [if] Malcolm doesn't win.
STORY: 'Survivor: Caramoan's' Brandon Hantz on His Explosive Exit: 'It Was Awesome'
THR: At the point you were voted out, you were the only person who knew Malcolm had a hidden immunity idol. Did either of you have plans to reveal that to anyone else?
Corinne: We agreed not to tell anyone else, and not to tell anyone else unless we asked each other first. I knew Malcolm was not going to say anything. That idol was also mine. If he had told anyone, I would have been pissed. It was a joint secret. We would have had a conference call before anything was said.
THR: What was the biggest difference between your first and second times on Survivor?
Corinne: The people. The first time around, everything was new and fresh. Once I went to Cancun on spring break with some friends, and it was the best trip ever. The next year we tried to re-create it -- the same hotel, the same location -- and it wasn't as good. That how this feels. It's just never as good the second time.

Buying a home can be an exciting, if not confusing and stressful task. Being an educated buyer can often ease the confusion associated with buying a home, but how does one become educated? There are large amounts of information available for home buyers, but often times, people just don't know where to begin. Below you will find some useful information about buying a home, and perhaps, answers to some of your questions.

RALEIGH (AP) -- A couple that wants to build three electricity-generating wind turbines in rural North Carolina is facing opposition from neighbors.
The neighbors say the windmills would create noise and disrupt the scenery of their coastal community.
Nelson and Dianna Paul of Raleigh have asked the North Carolina Utilities Commission for permission to build the Golden Wind Farm on 33-acres in Bettie, a town about seven miles northeast of Beaufort. It would be the largest wind farm in the state.
Nelson Paul told commissioners the turbines would generate 4.5 megawatts of electricity, enough to power about 900 homes. The couple wants to sell the power to Progress Energy as a source of green energy.
Some residents say the towers would spoil their property. The towers could be 460 feet tall.

The novel about Eastern Front in world war two intrigues me, including military scenario. It may be a formidable piece of creation and I feel TE held conservative attitude toward this novel. In general, there is always a conflict between English and German language, even their expression on personality.
Germany is a nation that caused widespread damage twice during 20th century. "All Quiet on the Western Front" was the similar kind of fiction that depicted a pair of lovers, from a realistic view of massive bloody fights. Under a bigger turmoil, the smaller figures' dialogues and reaction to the hopeless in fear while they did their respective either baulking or military proceedings. Among the major 2 roles plus both relative figures, no one predicted the future in the wartime and their real emotion is always exposed them as the twisted characteristic. The key of whether this novel is praised is how to deal with the dilemma of the wide divergence like larger background and smaller details.
The horror of Eastern Front I have read from historic books or recorded news is hardly integrated into a love story, involving a soldier and a woman via marriage bureau. Via the following link, I get more interests by the exploration into morality, true love and the history's groan on human beings.

Interpol said Tuesday it was waiting for information from Dutch authorities after a rights group said it had identified 1,000 paedophiles by offering online sex with a computer-generated 10-year-old girl.
This handout picture released by Terre des Hommes Netherlands, shows a computer-generated 10-year-old Filippino girl called Sweetie that helped identify over 1,000 paedophiles around the world
The Lyon-based international police agency said it was aware of the sting operation by Dutch rights group Terre des Hommes Netherlands but had not yet received any evidence.
"No information about the research or the report was provided to Interpol prior to its publication. The Dutch authorities will provide the material to Interpol after conducting their own assessment," the agency said in a statement.
Terre des Hommes said Monday it had deployed the computer-generated Filipina girl -- dubbed Sweetie -- to Internet chat rooms to ensnare web predators.
Within a 10-week period, over 20,000 predators from 71 countries approached Sweetie, asking for webcam sex performances.
While they were chatting with the "girl", researchers gathered information about them through social media, identified them and eventually passed the details on to police.
The group said it wanted to raise the alarm about a largely unknown but quickly spreading new form of child exploitation that has tens of thousands of victims in the Philippines alone, known as webcam child sex tourism.
Interpol said it would not comment further on the operation itself, but did warn non-governmental organisations against trying to usurp the role of police.
"Whilst Interpol recognises the important role of NGOs in child protection, it is important that any criminal investigations should only be undertaken by law enforcement professionals," the statement said.
"This ensures that enquiries are conducted by individuals specifically trained in investigating these types of crime and that any evidence gathered is in accordance with national legislation and can therefore be submitted to the courts."

MUSCAT:Oman's central bank has approved the planned merger of HSBC Holdings' operations in the tiny Gulf Arab state with local lender Oman International Bank, the central bank said on Sunday.
Both HSBC and OIB said in October last year they were in talks about merging their operations inOman, without providing details on the structure of the transaction.
"The board has approved, in principle, the merger between Oman International Bank and HSBC Bank Middle East's Oman branches provided the merger does not conflict with local laws," the statement from the central bank said.
Omanopened its doors to Islamic banking and let conventional lenders run sharia-compliant operations in May.
HSBC has had a presence inOmansince 1948. OIB has a market cap of around $700 million, according to Reuters data.

Since my last blog post I've been continuing to watch The Prisoner & thinking about allegory. I've also been watching Minder. I'm not minded to blog about it. I think this may be because it is *so* seventies - the trousers are stay-prest, the shirts are nylon, the interiors are revolting, the chest hair is luxuriant, & I glimpsed a medallion or two - all of this is painful because I remember the seventies & think those years can only be looked back on favourably by those who don't remember them. Now the seventies looking back at the sixties are a different matter. Another different matter is Doctor Who, & even though this one was broadcast in the seventies, it always had the good sense to be not-too-seventies, even when contemporary.
Of course the whole point of Doctor Who is the unusual approach to time. In this case I find I keep thinking of the Series 6 Avengers episode, Fog, which is set in a very sixties reconstruction of the London of Jack the Ripper. Here the inspiration is obviously Sherlock Holmes, but while this is a more accurate Victorian reconstruction, it also messes with time in a much more radical way. That happens at the moment Tom Baker starts talking about the molecular structure of the Chinese box, to my mind.
So the approach to time in this Who adventure is an interesting one: the other really strange thing from a completely personal point of view is that is also extremely seventies, but not in a Minder sort of way. I don't mean that Who is walking round in flares, but I found previously that it made me think of Sapphire & Steel, for me one of the archetypally seventies shows. The music hall scenes make me think of a seventies show that my mother used to sit my grandmother in front of, which was a reconstruction of Victorian music hall acts - I'm afraid I've forgotten its name. So while this show is a not-bad Victorian scene, it is also firmly seventies (to me), with the Doctor wandering in to send the time all anyhow. This is not a complaint, it is a statement of the inspirations I personally detect here.
A further inspiration is clearly the classic music hall tradition - the vanishing cabinet scene gives a real sense of how terrifying it could be. Perhaps it is because it is the villain in a Doctor Who with the swords. Visually you can't really go wrong with that act. It is rightly against a black background so that the colours of the Doctor's & Chang's clothes appear stark against the background. In fact the whole episode is visually superb, it is exactly right to give the feeling of brooding doom. In fact I had been thinking that I may not continue blogging about this series, but it was this episode that made me wake up & pay attention. 'Theatre' in all its aspects is the real subject of it - about pretence, appearances, escape from reality, & deceit.
Of course it was a mistake to show the rat, how could it be anything else? It looks like a teddy bear eating Chang. And of course I would just repeat my previous objections about the images of Chinese people & that creepy dolls can only really be done by Agatha Christie. But on the whole an excellent Who that really made me pay attention when I was losing interest.

Julian Russell/Staff photographer Geoff Goss of Dover signs an American flag to be given to the parents of Brandon Towle; a Dover High graduate and U.S. Airman who died in a motorcycle accident in North Carolina last week. Local friends of the Towle organized a memorial at Dover High School on Friday night.
DOVER — Glowing paper lanterns lit the night sky over the Dover High School football field Friday evening when close to 200 friends, family and classmates released the luminaria in memory of Brandon Cullen-Towle, a 2005 alumni.What began as an effort by close friends who used Facebook to get the word out quickly turned into a community gathering of support for the 25-year-old who was killed in a motorcycle accident in Spring Lake, N.C., last week.Cullen-Towle's father, Brad, reminisced about his latest trip to visit his late son just two weeks ago. To see all those who showed up in remembrance of his son, he said, meant a lot."It helps right now," he said, wearing his son's dog tag around his neck.The smile and friendly demeanor of the young man who enlisted in the U.S. Air Force after some time at the University of New Hampshire, is what those who knew him said they'll remember most."I think it's just his smile," Jon Doda, former classmate, said. Doda was standing with Steve George, who was Cullen-Towle's Little League coach, and Nick Couturier, former classmate."He was a dedicated hard working Little Leaguer," George said."Almost every picture I have he was in a cast," Couturier said."That's how hard he worked," George answered.His dedication to sports, family, friends and his country has left a lasting impression in the lives he touched.Cullen-Towle graduated from Dover High School in 2005. After some time at the University of New Hampshire, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. He was assigned as a Tactical Air Control Party Member in the 14 ASOS, Pope Field, N.C. in December of 2007. In 2012, he joined an elite group of TACPs when he was specifically selected to serve as a Special Operations Forces TACP in the 21st Special Tactics Squadron, Pope Field, N.C. Cullen-Towle served three tours in Afghanistan supporting the 1-4 INF, 1-61 CAV, and 1-72 INF with life saving Close Air Support. For his actions both stateside and in combat, he was awarded three Army Commendation Medals, an Air Force Commendation Medal, The Order of the Purple Heart, and has been personally recognized by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and the President of the United States."It was a great, great job he did in the service," Stephanie Desilets, former classmate, said.While attending his full military service in North Carolina, his father, Brad, was told by a lieutenant colonel that if he were to pick the perfect soldier to go into combat, he'd make a prototype of Cullen-Towle.His friends who organized the event thought the lanterns would be a unique and different idea for a way to celebrate his life.Christine Trefethen had known Cullen-Towle since middle school."He was the link between the cliques I would say. He was the strong link between everybody," she said.Many people wore a photo of Cullen-Towle and added photos and memories to a photo board and a keepsake box for his family. Three yearbooks were signed by friends for his mother, father, and wife.Mike Towle, Cullen-Towle's stepfather, said the presence and effort of those who put this event together during the first week of school and the last week of summer spoke volumes about how much they supported their classmate, most of whom hadn't seen him since graduation in 2005."This says it all right here," he said.Additional members of Cullen-Towle's family arrived to the service via police escort along with Airmen who had known him, after bringing Brandon Joseph Cullen-Towle's body home to Dover.Kameron Towle, Cullen-Towle's brother, said he'll miss Brandon's smile the most."He always had a big grin on his face. He was just a friendly guy. He made a lot of friends," he said.

Johanns, Alexander, Cornyn File Bill Stopping Unconstitutional NLRB, CFPB Actions
Thursday, January 31, 2013
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sens. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) today introduced legislation prohibiting the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from enforcing or implementing decisions and regulations without a constitutionally confirmed board or director.
Johanns said, "These agencies have been operating under a ruse for more than a year. Any decisions or regulations made by the people who have no right to be there are invalid. This legislation forces them to stop functioning as if they legitimately hold office and recognize the reality that the President overstepped his constitutional authority."
Alexander said, "If they won't take down their 'Open for Business' sign and put up one that says 'Help Wanted,' then the Senate will. The President created this problem but the Constitution provides him with a way to fix it—send the Senate acceptable nominees to fill these important positions."
Cornyn said, "American democracy was born out of a rejection of the monarchies of Western Europe, anchored by limited government and separation of powers. We refuse to stand by as this President arrogantly casts aside our Constitution and defies the will of the American people under the guise of defending them."
The Restoring the Constitutional Balance of Power Act of 2013 prohibits NLRB from undertaking or enforcing any decisions that required the approval of a quorum of board members since the President's overreach. The legislation also blocks CFPB's next transfer of funds from the Federal Reserve to carry out any actions that require the approval of a director.
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that President Obama violated the Constitution when he made these invalid appointments to NLRB without confirmation by the Senate. He took the same unconstitutional actions with Richard Cordray, who has been illegitimately serving as CFPB Director under the same circumstances.
