Mephisto Laser Black Leather Women's Shoe - The Mephisto Women's Laser is a lace-up sneaker with some serious style. This casual walking shoe features an upper made of leather and mesh. The leather provides a sophisticated feel to the sneaker, while mesh allows for greater air circulation. The front lace-up system allows for easy adjustment. Inside the shoe, a soft leather lining adds comfort while wicking away any moisture. The Air-Relax footbed is anatomically designed, meaning that it contours to the foot and provides extra cushioning where necessary. The footbed can be removed to make space for orthotics if necessary. Otherwise, many wearers find that the original footbed is more than sufficient protection for vulnerable feet. The outsole contributes to the comfortable walking experience with its Soft-Walk heel. This heel is made to absorb shock while protecting joints from injury. And the sole's traction pattern is perfect for adding a little stability on difficult surfaces.
The Mephisto Laser is the perfect everyday casual walking shoe for women.
Features include:
I am a teacher. I walk on concrete floors all day. Before these shoes, I had foot pain every night. Since beginning to wear these shoes I've had no pain. My orthotics fit perfectly. They were pretty comfortable 'as is' but I have prescription orthotics so I use those. I plan to buy more Mephistopheles shoes. They're great! Well worth the costM
Excellent product and excellent service.

"I am very pleased with MBT shoes, and with your service. I especially appreciated the overnight delivery at no charge. I would like to add that this is the first time in many years that my feet "love" to walk. I am a senior citizen and my phsyiatrist is very pleased, not only with my posture, but these shoes have forced me to walk properly. I have an artificial hip and have been "favoring" that side. Now, I no longer limp. I am thrilled. Also, these shoes cause you to immediately work your stomach muscles. I love to walk - now especially. "

S3E15-16: There's something special about Parks and Recreation. It's a show that makes me laugh, yes, but it's also a show with quite a bit of heart. I find myself, for whatever reason, genuinely caring and worrying about the characters and what they go through on a day-to-day basis. Will Ben and Leslie kiss? How will Andy and April handle their first fight? Can Tom actually make money on Snake Juice? It's strange, because on a basic level, it's just a workplace comedy and the idea that we should do more than just laugh at these characters may feel strange at first. But what separates Parks from the rest of the lot is the depth of its characters. In the same way that great dramas like The Wire or Friday Night Lights work, no character is one-dimensional. Sure, each has certain traits and tendencies, but it's pretty much impossible to predict any one's reactions to every situation. Even a character like Tom, who could easily become one-dimensional, has different layers (remember Wendy?). And that's what makes Parks such an entertaining and refreshing show to watch. We don't know what to expect -- and with whatever does happen, we care quite a bit.
Last night's season finale -- two episodes mushed together for an hour long special -- was simply tremendous. With each week this season, the show somehow raised its standard and then last night, well, wow. Just, wow. It capped off, in my opinion, what will become to be recognized as one of the best seasons of any sitcom ever.
"When I look at my life right now, it feels almost perfect." -Leslie
After last week's kiss, Leslie and Ben are now together -- secretly -- and loving every single moment of it. I echo Ann's statement: "I love to see [Leslie] so happy." But of course, as television shows go, the moment that a character says that they're "happy" or "perfect," they quickly become unhappy and un-perfect. "The Bubble" played that exact card, but with a slight twist. Leslie recognized that things could come undone at any moment and she didn't want that to happen at all. In fact, she was so opposed to it happening that she actively avoided it -- which included denying that her mother is indeed her mother to Ben. After some encouragement from Ann, Leslie eventually buckles and tells Ben the truth, which makes him very nervous for his meeting and naturally, because Ben sucks at being nervous, the meeting goes terribly. He and Leslie reconvene afterwards, with Leslie coaching him how he should handle a second meeting, and that results in him impressing Leslie's mom so much that she makes a pass at him. It's alright though, Ben uses his new-found confidence to tell Leslie's mom that he's dating her daughter, and, obviously, she approves.
Meanwhile, new city manager Chris is making some changes around the Parks Department, which include putting Ron in a big circular desk in the middle of the office. Despite enjoying the fact that this new approach is ruining the efficiency of the government (a true libertarian, that Ron), he eventually gets so annoyed with dealing with people on a day-to-day basis that he does one of the things he hates most in his life: makes a compromise. Everything can go back to normal, he just has to stay in the desk for a week -- avoiding eye contact as much as he possibly can.
"The Bubble" offered a great little episode that worked well as a setup for "Lil' Sebastian." I was happy that -- after the writers played with Ben and Leslie for so long -- they just went for it. Leslie and Ben are so happy together. They can't even control it and the fact that Leslie tries to control it anyway makes it even more adorable. I wasn't completely sold on their relationship right away (or at least, not nearly as much as I was on Leslie's and Louis CK's Dave in Season Two), but "The Bubble" and "Road Trip" won me over. I think what makes it so real to me is that, because the show has spent so long establishing just how much Leslie loves her job, when we see her willing to lose it for her relationship with Ben, it really emphasizes how much she really does like him.
"What's 5,000 times better than 'Candle in the Wind'?" -Andy
And then, it happens. One of Pawnee's greatest icons, who we just met earlier this season but feel like we've known for years, has passed away: Lil' Sebastian. The whole town is shaken up so it's up to the Parks Department to put on a memorial -- and boy oh boy, does the Parks Department deliver (like Leslie always seems to deliver; the pit, Harvest Festival, the telethon, etc.). Leslie lets Tom and Jean-Ralphio produce the event with their new multimedia conglomerate 720 Entertainment (because they go around the world twice for their customers). And, man, wasn't it fun? Aside from the driving storyline of Ron knowing about Ben and Leslie -- and then the groundkeeper spotting Ben and Leslie making out -- there were so many other great moments that went into this episode's story arc. Andy writing a song 5,000 times better than "Candle in the Wind" called "5000 Candles in the Wind." Tom and Jean-Ralphio douching it up, laughing at people who can't tell the difference between seven types of black. Chris broken up by getting tendonitis and fearing death. Ron crying for only the second time in his life. And of course, Andy asking April to be his manager.
"If you know anything about me, it would be that I prefer laying wreaths to lighting torches." -Ron
After the ceremony, we're left with a couple of cliffhangers. Leslie is approached by people who think she could run for public office (maybe the mayorship?) and they ask her if she has anything to hide -- and she lies. Out of fear, she doesn't mention Ben. And I thought that was just a wonderful little development because, as I stated earlier, Leslie loves her job and seeing her risk it for Ben shows just how much she cares for him. The other cliffhanger, of course, will be keeping us up for most of the summer: who the hell is Tammy 1 and how freaking scary must she be for her to cause Tammy 2 to run away, terrified?
To close, "Lil Sebastian" capped the season off so wonderfully because it illustrated each part of Pawnee that we have come to know and love so much over the past three seasons. Every character got a little moment to show off a bit of their personality, but beyond that, we had the pleasure of seeing Pawnee living and breathing, together, as a community. Everyone united to celebrate the life of Lil' Sebastian, yes, but at the same time, everyone united to celebrate what Pawnee is and on an even greater level, what Parks is and why we, as fans, watch. These characters have become our friends -- or hell, dare I say it, our family. We laugh with them. We love with them. We're part of them. And through that, Parks and Recreation is more than just a comedy to laugh at for a half an hour each week, but it's a show that we experience. These people invited us into their world, showed us around, and now -- although we've got a few months off before we continue -- we're in it for the long haul. My only request for our journey together? Mouse Rat provides the soundtrack.

Posted October 1, 2010
Question: How does an artist meet expectations of twenty years¿ standing? Answer: Don¿t try. Instead, create a deeply personal work of art that reflects the artist¿s current worldview. And this is pretty much what Jackie DeShannon has done for her first album since 1978¿s Quick Touches. Instead of trying to recapture her previous musical styles, You Know Me presents a thoroughly contemporary Jackie at peace with herself and examining the world around her. In comparison to her previous work, You Know Me is closest in style to 1975¿s New Arrangement and, especially, to the 1984 single Wings of Victory/Possible Dream. Lyrically deep, this is Jackie¿s most mature collection to date. Musically complex, it is also the most radio-friendly album she¿s recorded, despite the lack of pressure for a ¿hit¿ from any record company executives. The songs can be broken down into three main themes: love songs (Just How Right You Are, There Goes the One, Any Heart), socio-political commentaries (Somewhere in America, Here On) and somewhat abstract poetic odes (Song For Sandra Jeanne, Keeper of the Dream). The album opens with the anthemic Steal the Thunder, with chiming electric guitars, pillowy synthesizers, and Jackie singing ''want to give you all this love.'' Wing Ryder is a tender country ballad revved up by soaring electric guitar, that cries out for a backing vocal by Emmylou Harris. In Somewhere in America, Jackie urges us to action to help preserve the environment (Rain forests are burning/The South Pole is melting/We are responsible). Any Heart is a rather generic ballad saved by a searing pedal-point guitar line. The most ambitious song on the album is Song For Sandra Jeanne (Rites of Passage). Presumably written for Jackie¿s late mother, it seems to be a nostalgic look back at difficult but fondly remembered years. Set in a progressive folk-rock mood, it is like nothing Jackie has ever recorded before. To these ears, the album really takes off with the title track. Originally heard in Darlene Love¿s one-woman show, Jackie sings this inspirational track with soul and grace. It is simply one of the best vocal performances of her career. Indeed, throughout the album, Jackie¿s voice is as strong as ever. Time, and time off, hasn¿t diminished these pipes in the least. You Know Me also makes one realize just how timeless and contemporary Jackie¿s songwriting is. If other artists recorded these songs, they would surely have huge hits with them. You Know Me could be huge for the Backstreet Boys. Celine Dion could take Any Heart to the top of the charts. Besides being one of the best vocalists of the modern era, Jackie is also one of the best songwriters. She should be giving Diane Warren a run for her money. Perhaps this album will make that possible. Just How Right You Are is pure power pop, and is the closest Jackie comes to recreating her mid-60s classics, albeit in an updated manner. I dare you to turn this up to eleven and try not to dance! If I have any criticism to make, it would be with the musical arrangements. For example, in Just How Right You Are, arguably the catchiest track on the album, Jackie refers to her classic song When You Walk in the Room (See the best one coming through/When you walk into the room). The swirling organ is just the right touch, but how perfect it would have been to hear a jangly 12-string Rickenbacher instead of the Big 80s guitar. It would have been retro and modern at the same time. And while the band plays tightly and competently, they sometimes sound too slick and professional, lacking the energy and urgency of Jackie¿s finest supporting bands (such as those heard on Laurel Canyon and Jackie.) There Goes the One is a nostalgic ballad reminiscent of her early songs co-written with Sharon Sheeley. Vanished in TimeWas this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

One trend we have seen on the runway this Spring is the continuation of boho chic, but this time with an update. This style is flattering for plus size women as it provides a draped look and continues with a romantic touch.
No one does it better than our friends at Sienna Rose!
You will see flowy, dreamy silhouettes with a hint of retro from the 60′s and 70′s without all of the volume of the past, but a more fitted and feminine look. Important rich, vibrant prints and sweeping pastel hues and kaleidoscopic prints are at the front and center of this on trend look from Sienna Rose. The kaftan style is perfect for plus.
Boho chic also contains the tie dye look and prints that can be mismatched. The kaftan style is perfect for plus size as it minimizes and keeps you on trend and in style.
This comfortable, laid back style is great for casual and can be dressed up for daytime!

Congratulations on such a prestigious honor! Stay tuned to late May/early June when the medalists are announced.
CUDC Fall Studio Teams Compete in MidTown Design Competition
Aerial rendering of a development proposal for Cleveland's MidTown District created by CUDC graduate students Matthew Nykamp and Heather Flick. The concept, named "Deeply Rooted," proposed a public green space network overlaid on broadband data infrastructure.
First year graduate students at the CUDC kicked-off their urban design studio experience this fall with a local design competition. Focused on a segment of Cleveland's Health-Tech Corridor, the competition involved several local partners and offered a $1,000 cash prize provided by Geis Companies.
Stretching along three miles of Cleveland's Euclid Avenue, the Health-Tech Corridor (HTC) served as the geographic scope for the studio. The HTC is a 1,600 acre swath of near east side neighborhoods, including healthcare institutions, business incubators, academic centers, and over 123 high-tech companies, all anchored by a bus rapid transit (BRT) line.
The competition's primary focus sites lie within the broader Health-Tech Corridor, clustered between E. 55th Street and E. 70th Street in the MidTown neighborhood. Students were given a tour of the area by knowledgeable community partners, including: Jeff Epstein, Director of the Health-Tech Corridor; Maura Maresh, Development Director at Geis Companies; and Will Warren, Finance Analyst at the City of Cleveland's Department Economic Development.
Five student teams competed in the studio's design competition. Each project employed a unique perspective on the opportunities presented by the site. Although all teams produced strong proposals for the jury to consider, ultimately Team RED was selected as the prize winner.
Students will present their work again at an event organized by Heath-Tech Corridor at JumpStart on February 26, 2014. If you're interested in learning more about the upcoming event or the student projects, please contact studio instructor David Jurca.
Final slide presentations from all teams are shown below:
From Grey to Green | Clarisse Gates, James Lennon
Graduate students Clarisse Gates and James Lennon envision a holistic development strategy focused on improving the health of MidTown employees and surrounding residents. From Grey to Green identifies measurable goals for green infrastructure, providing attractive and functional amenities to spur new development.
MidtownLink | Said Abiakl
Exploring the site's potential to connect adjacent neighborhoods, MidtownLink weaves a multi-use trail through variously scaled public spaces. Said Abiakl conducted a rigorous analysis of climatic conditions, storm water strategies, and programmatic arrangements to arrive at an iconic circular form to anchor the mixed-use development.
Mi[xe]d Town | Tyler Middendorf
Through research on the district's historic development patterns, Tyler Middendorf derived the insight that past developments were too focused on a single industry. Comprised of businesses primarily based on the automotive industry, the district fell victim to volatile global market forces, resulting in the vacancy we see today. In an effort to prevent similar collapses in the future, Mi[xe]d Town diversifies entertainment, mobility, and employment opportunities, creating a resilient community.
MidTown Beat | Brittany Ballish, Andrew Foster
Building on existing assets within MidTown, Brittany and Andrew aim to grow the various rhythms of activity in the neighborhood. A proposed music therapy facility leverages the area's music identity, punctuated by the nearby Cleveland Agora. Public spaces create areas of respite while integrating multiple levels of entertainment. Transit-oriented design elements reconnect Midtown with Downtown Cleveland, universities, and healthcare campuses. Streetscape enhancements and public arcades respond to the need for north-south connections to enable future growth and neighbor relations.
Deeply Rooted | Heather Flick, Matthew Nykamp
"The Deeper the Network, The Greater the Community" is the tagline for Matthew Nykamp and Heather Flick's proposal, which aims to grow rich digital and physical social spaces. Leveraging the area's broadband fiber infrastructure, Deeply Rooted attracts both new technology businesses and current neighborhood residents to interact in a dynamic public realm.
RED | Turki Alosimi, Mykie Hrusovski, Katelyn Milius
* Competition Winning Project
RED's goal is to create a technology-focused environment that promotes healthy living, celebrates diversity, fosters collaboration, and provides opportunities for growth on site. The project team addressed this goal by creating a flexible design strategy, rather than rigid master plan, which empowers nearby residents to climb up the ladder of success.
Team RED also created a stop-motion animation, which portrays an engaging story of two people working in the neighborhood.

Steve Rugare | Lunch Lecture | March 7, 2014
Assistant Professor, Steve Rugare, will be this Friday's Lunch Lecturer. His topic will be the "Great Lakes Exposition: Architectural and Planning Questions".
The Great Lakes Exposition of 1936-37 was one of the outstanding planning and design success stories in Cleveland's history. It's also one of the least-studied the expositions held in American cities during the New Deal era. In this progress report on his research, Steve Rugare will examine the fairs significance in the history of Cleveland's lakefront and frame key questions about its relationship to other expositions and the development of modern architecture in the US. To conclude, he will look briefly at what would be required to stage a successful exposition in Cleveland today.
This event is free and open to the public.

Terry Schwarz to Speak at Shaker Historical Society
The CUDC's Director, Terry Schwarz, will be the featured guest speaker at the Shaker Historical Society's 67th Annual Meeting of the Members. The free event will be held from 4-5:30 PM, January 19, 2014 at the Shaker Historical Society, located at 16740 S. Park Blvd. The meeting will include light refreshments, a review of the year 2013 and election of officers and trustees.
Terry will discuss "Historic Preservation and Urban Regeneration." Her remarks will focus on the changing role of historic preservation in Cleveland, and other cities in similar circumstances. A city is a working artifact, constantly subjected to the forces of change, loss, and reinvention. The artifacts of the past require diligent stewardship in order to understand and inform the paths of human progress. But when hundreds (or thousands) of buildings are erased in an effort to cope with effects of population decline and disinvestment, how do we decide what to protect? And how can we derive meaning from that which remains? Perhaps we can find new ways to commemorate past glories and anticipate future uncertainties that are embodied in the present moment.
In 2014, the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative will explore historic preservation issues as a co-sponsor of a conference in June at Cleveland State, entitled "Historic Preservation in America's Legacy Cities." Historic Preservation will also be the topic of the CUDC's annual publication, Urban Infill, scheduled for release in October.
Friday's Lunch Lecture | David Beach, Director of GreenCityBlueLake
Join us, Friday, October 25th from 12 pm-1 pm, as David Beach presents Building the Livable Edge: Best Practices for Urban Waterfronts.
David will be discussing what makes a great urban waterfront and what are the possibilities for Cleveland.
David has been a visionary voice for sustainability and the environment in Northeast Ohio for more than 25 years. He has been responsible for initiating numerous organizations and projects, including EcoCity Cleveland, the Citizen's Bioregional Plan, Greater Ohio Policy Center, the City of Cleveland's Office of Sustainability, and the Cleveland EcoVillage.

Summer Graduate Studio Examines the E. 22nd Street Corridor
The program for the 2013 summer graduate urban design studio, which took place at Kent State University's CUDC, was commenced with the investigation of the E. 22nd street corridor. Cleveland State University and the Campus District, Inc. sponsored the project led by studio instructor Charles Graves. The initial investigation ran for three weeks and culminated in a proposal for the E. 22nd street corridor by the students of the graduate class.
The concept diagram below drove the project.
The goals of this study were as follows:
- Link the city to the waterfronts
- Thread amenities through new infrastructure
- Revitalize natural resources to improve health & well being
- Attract residents through new development & activity
Waterfront Drawing Workshop Aboard the Holiday River Boat: August 28th, 2013
Join the CUDC for a drawing workshop of waterfront sites facilitated by landscape designer Susie Maurer. The first in this two day workshop will take place Wednesday, August 28, from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. The second session will be October, 5th, from 8:30 am – 12:30 pm. Please RVSP to firstname.lastname@example.com to reserve a spot, as space is limited on the boat.
Urban Landscape Drawing Workshop
This two-session drawing workshop is designed to acquaint attendees with the urban landscapes of Cleveland. The workshop is open to students, design professionals, and anyone interested in exploring the urban landscape through drawing. We will spend time at desolate, yet beautifully rich sites around rail corridors, the water's edge and vacant terrain.
The goal is not only for the participants to refresh observational drawing skills, but also to highlight qualities within the selected sites as a way to express the identity of place. What makes the site important/interesting? Are there elements that can be retained for future use? What opportunities are waiting to be expressed?
The end result will be a small portfolio of drawings, illustrating personal experience as navigated through the sites.
WORKSHOP PART 1: August 28th
8:15 am- 8:30 am : Meet at E. 9th/North Coast Rapid Station.
8:30 am – 10:30 am : Introductions and "On-Land" drawing at several locations around the lakefront. Locations Map
10: 30 am – 12:30 pm : Cruise down the river aboard the Holiday, stopping at various locations for sketching.
WORKSHOP PART 2: October 5th
8:30 am – 12:30 pm : Additional details TBD.

Day of: $15
Make payment online HERE, or bring cash, check or card the day of the workshop.

About Susie Maurer
Susie Maurer is a landscape designer and sculptor working in Cleveland. Prior to returning to her roots in Northeast Ohio in 2012, she spent six years in New York City at Pratt Institute and working in landscape architecture and urban design at dlandstudio. There, her interest in the innovative use of materials, namely steel, in architectural and artistic contexts, afforded her the opportunity to manage and lead the design on many urban, residential and public projects. Her specific interest in the vacant, industrial landscapes of America, and the potential for their re-use, was the influence behind her MFA thesis and continues to influence how she works as both as an artist and designer. Susie holds an MFA in sculpture from Pratt Institute as well as a BA in architecture from Miami University.

2013 Capstone Final Review Schedule
We're excited to announce the final review schedule for the 2013 Master of Urban Design capstone projects (see below). Graduate students at the CUDC enrolled in the Master of Urban Design or dual degree (Master of Architecture + Master of Urban Design) programs at the CUDC conclude their coursework with an individualized capstone project. Each capstone project is developed over two semesters, with the first semester focused on framing a research question and the second devoted to creating a design response. As can be seen from the project names below, the investigations span a wide range of topics and geographies.
The capstone presentations for this year's class will be held at the CUDC (1309 Euclid Avenue, 2nd Floor) and are open to the public. If you are interested in pursuing a Master of Urban Design degree or just curious about one of the capstone topics, please feel free to attend any of the presentations. You don't need to RSVP, but we ask that attendees arrive shortly before the designated start time. The presentation and discussion immediately following each project should run about an hour and a half. More information on the academic programs offered at the CUDC can be found on our website here. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Online Academy recommended for full accreditation!November 04, 2009 | University Advancement staff
Last week, Liberty University Online Academy received an "extremely positive exit interview" regarding regional accreditation, according to the school's dean, Jay Spencer.
The online school offers turn-key online curriculum for grades 3-12 that is taught from a Christian perspective. The program grew out of Liberty University's award-winning distance learning program — Liberty University Online — and was started in 2007.
The recent review came from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Council on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI), which now approves accreditation for schools in 30 states. The quality assurance review team within SACS CASI "gave us a great review, thanked us for a tremendous visit, and told us they were recommending us for full accreditation to the commission," which meets in January, Spencer said. After the commission's final blessing, the school can begin using the SACS CASI logo in its promotion material and bill itself as a SACS CASI accredited school.
"SACS accreditation will definitely help us build enrollment," said Spencer. LUOA currently has about 650 students enrolled — double the amount the school had at the same time last year.
"We continue to enroll students on a rolling basis," said Spencer, referring to the school's system that allows students to start curriculum at any time during the year. "We expect to reach or exceed our goal of 1,000 students by the end of the fiscal year."

Cedar Creek Mine Ride (commonly known as "Mine Ride") is a steel Mine train roller coaster built by Arrow Development at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It is located in the Frontier Town section of the park and is the second oldest operating roller coaster in the park after the Blue Streak.
Cedar Creek Mine Ride is one of two roller coasters at Cedar Point to utilize two separate lift hills, the other being Iron Dragon. The ride was originally built to handle up to four trains at once but currently operates with two or three.[citation needed]
Opened in 1969, Cedar Creek Mine Ride has given over 62 million rides in its four decades of service.[1] Considered tame by today's standards, the ride is still very popular with children and families and has also been used to help people with phobias overcome their fears.[2]
Ride experience[edit]
Cedar Creek Mine Ride is a multi-lift hill roller coaster that features short dips and turns throughout a lightly wooded area and over a lagoon. The ride starts by entering a mine building, which functions as the track transfer and housing for additional trains (Mine Ride runs 2 trains in normal operation, 1 train on low attendance days, and runs 3 trains on Saturdays during peak season)[citation needed], and then up the first lift hill. At the top of the hill riders experience a very short drop followed by several turns taking place high off the ground until a larger drop over a lagoon. After passing over the lagoon, riders enter into a helix and then onto the second lift-hill. After the second lift, riders again experience a short dip along with some turns raised off the ground. The end of the ride features a double helix before entering the station.[3]

New report says GCC countries may soon have to start importing gas after years of exporting it.
June 14, 2010 4:01 by Samuel Potter
Hydrocarbon rich countries in the GCC may soon find themselves importing natural gas, reports Emirates Business.
The paper quotes a new report from consulting firm Booz & Company that says the countries will be in the "almost contradictory position of having to import gas, when they have exported gas for decades."
"Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are facing a reversal of a decades-old status quo: an increasing gas shortage in the region amid a significant supply overhang in the rest of the world," says the report. "Although the global economic slump has reduced the need for gas in most regions, demand in the Gulf Co-operation Council [GCC] for power generation from some industrial sectors has far outpaced the region's gas exploration and production. As a result, GCC countries find themselves in an uncharted territory."
According to the report, though importing gas to countries that boast up to 23 percent of global gas reserves seems counter-intuitive, the rapidly rising demand means that most of the GCC countries will have to consider it. Only Qatar has the capacity to meet demand, apparently.

Move over, bleach and ammonia - a new cleaning superhero is in town! May I introduce essential oils, nature's affordable, eco-friendly, and just as effective (if not more) alternative to store bought cleaners. For the last year, we've been featuring a free dishcloth pattern every week, so I thought it would be fun to explore natural cleaners to use with your dishcloths. Not only are conventional cleaners expensive, they can also be hazardous to your health and the environment. Using essential oils to create your own cleaning spray is safe for your family's health and phenomenal at eradicating salmonella, e.coli, MRSA, pneumonia and a slew of other insidious little nasties (source). This spray is perfect for cleaning hard surfaces in the kitchen, bathroom, etc. Let's get started!

The dishcloth patterns will always be free on our site, but you can also buy a compilation of them in our new book, 52 Weeks of Dishcloths: A Knit Picks Kitchen Spectacular. It's also available as an e-book! Sometimes it's nice to have everything in one place, you know? Last week we used my Emerald City Dishcloth pattern to make a Yellow Brick Road Rug, and the week previous, we made a trivet and coaster set with Stacey's Orbital Dishcloth pattern. This week, we've taken Hannah's A Chance of Rain Crochet dishcloth and made it into a fun and functional pencil case. The pattern is no harder than the one for the dishcloth, and you can download it HERE, for free! In case you're nervous about installing a zipper into the pencil case, we've taken some how-to photos to help you professionally finish off your project.

I'm starting my control box build & plan to have both 120v & 220v control systems in it. Can I run both at the same time in a keggle for 7500w or is there a reason this should not be done?
FWIW - I run a 240v/4500W ripp element and I get from sparge temp to boil in more than enough time to keep up with removing hot break. IMO- it' not needed.
He might be making larger batches than you.
As for the original question: yes, you can do this. You just need a separate SSR for the 120v element and a separate power cord out to the kettle.
I boil 13 gallons with a target of just above 10 into the fermentor and I'm pulling about 20-24 amps. I also turn on my BK element on as soon as it's covered. I would say 15-20 minutes from the time I'm done sparging. The temp ramp is from 170-207 degrees to boil.
Every rig is unique. My only recommendation is if you are boiling indoors or in the basement like I do, consider good ventilation.
Just to be clear, 120v is not split off the 240v, I'm planing to run 2 cords to the wall, one for 120v/20a & the other for 240v/30a. Two complete & individual control systems sharing a common box & able to brew as 4 systems:
3g/120v/2000w (240v not available)
3g & 5g same time
keggle with both elements
Maybe a stoopid question but I can't remember seeing 120v & 240v in the same BK.
It's totally doable but in my opinion it's extra hardware including SSR's and temp controllers to run two separate elements. If 8 gallon is the most you're boiling you don't need two elements.
Most likely only the 3g indoors.
I'm slow, 10g finish in the keggle.
Evaporation for me is huge so I put some thought into ventilation.
I also see no reason for 2 elements. A 5500watt element can easily boil 10 or 3 gallons. You just need some sort of controller for it.
The 120v system is for brewing in my apartment where 240v is not available. I already have the PIDs, kettles, elements, SSRs for both systems. If 7500w is available why not use it.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
06 Mar 2007 07:34 GMT | Africa, Ghana
Kwame Nkrumah on March 6, 1957 led Ghana to independence from British colonial ruleGhanaians have hoisted their Black Star flag across the nation, celebrating fifty years as the first African country to gain independence.
Kwame Nkrumah on March 6, 1957 led Ghana to independence from British colonial rule
On March 6, 1957, Ghana became the first state in sub-Saharan Africa to shake off colonial rule and its independence inspired other nations to follow suit.
The relatively stable West African nation lies on the Gulf of Guinea - with Ivory Coast to the west and Togo to the east, and has a population of 22 million.
And while the country has fared better than some of its neighbours over the years, not everyone in Ghana is celebrating.
Al Jazeera spoke to a former president and other Ghanaians about the past 50 years and what the future holds:
Jerry Rawlings, former Ghana president
Jerry RawlingsOne person not taking part is the country's former president Jerry Rawlings.
He held power for over 20 years - making him Ghana's longest serving leader.
At this historic point in Ghana's history, Al Jazeera's Andrew Simmons asked Rawlings why he wanted to spoil the party by boycotting celebrations.
He said: "The party has been spoiled by the current government for a long time.
"It's just that the world, the western media refuses to hear what the opposition and what we're having to say.
"And I can quite understand, because they want a success story in Africa. They have enough problems in the Middle East, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.
"But the point is that this government has been befouling, desecrating and violating every aspect of the constitution.
"There is something worse than an enemy ... and that's a traitor. When we drove away the white men who was persecuting us and the black man took over, they let us down."
Gamal Nkrumah, son of Ghana's first president
Gamal NkrumahKwame Nkrumah led Ghana to independence and went on to become the country's first president, before he was ousted in 1966.
The son of the country's founding father talked to Al Jazeera about his hopes and fears - and an assassination attempt on his dad's life.
Nkrumah said: "One of my earliest recollections were the assassination attempts. I remember once, when I was about five, there was a, my father used to wear the white ... suits, and I remember in one of the assassination attempts which took place in the palace, he walked up the stairs and blood was splattered all over the suit.
"He was wounded, and the shock of the crimson red against the white, never left my memory. I still picture that scene.
"We have a viable, multi-party democracy in Ghana today. But the problem in Africa is that democracy does not feed the people.
"Thousands of young people are trying to flee the desperate economic situation in the country. Many of them lose their lives crossing the Mediterranean, trying to get to European Union countries, in search of better economic opportunities.
"The vast majority of the professionals that were trained during his [Kwame Nkrumah's] presidency have now gone to seek greener pastures in the United States, Canada and Europe.
"The country has lost them because of political instability in the past and economic malaise in the present."
Comfort Obeng, three generations living in slums
Comfort ObengAl Jazeera's Gabi Menezes talked to the Obeng family in the slum area of Jamestown, which has seen little change over fifty years of independence and remains very poor.
Comfort Obeng was a teenaged housewife under British colonial rule. She remembers Ghana had a prosperous farming community.
She's 85 now and is still very nostalgic about her early years. She even looks back fondly on the colonial period.
Obeng said: "When the British were here everything was smoothly running and we enjoyed everything we wanted. The little that you had, even a penny, you could spend it."
Never the less, Comfort followed Kwame Nkrumah who became Ghana's first president and still thinks of him as a hero.
Comfort's daughter, Monica Bannerman, says independence has brought her children freedom.
Bannerman said: "Especially the schools. Schools have changed. Free education, and the government is also giving the children food. Free food."
Comfort's great great grandson, Kingsley Ntiamoah, benefits from free education, but as a fifteen year old in Africa he's worried about youth unemployment.
Ntiamoah said that if he was in power, he'd make sure people would have jobs after school.
Despite their hardships, all three generations say they're proud of Ghana and are celebrating the golden jubilee.

I had one. The punch broke off quickly on a routine job, no hammering. The wrenches held up but were getting loose at the handle. It was I good idea just not well executed. I would not buy another one. Everything it has to offer but a lot more durable fits in a little candy box in my range bag.
Not too many AR tools on it.

I keep one of these http://www.midwayusa.com/product/297593/wheeler-engineering-28-piece-space-saver-gunsmithing-screwdriver-set?cm_vc=ProductFinding and a punch set in the range bag. Its good enough for anything you really can do at the range. I also carry a small soft hammer for pin driving or sight drifting.
I've tried multi tools before they just aren't very handy because they are clumsy to use. I gave the last one to some guy at the range. He seemed to like it.

"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
i tend to rely upon real tools meant to do a specific job and function rather than gimmicky, do-it-all multi-purpose tools that fail to do the job.
The "multi-tasker" which is made by, I believe, Emerson, is supposed to be the bees knees when it comes to AR specific multi tools.
Sent from my HTC One X using Firearms Talk mobile app
Never mind. Emerson partnered with Mutlitasker to provide a knife for that tool. Multitasker is a registered trademark for their AR specific mutli tool. I might be slightly off. Either way, a lot of guys in the industry seem to be pushing that multi tool. Nothing is better than a specific tool for the job, but this one seems to have a lot of what you'd need for an AR.

Justin Bieber Reassures Death-Threat-Sending Fans: 'I'm Not Dating Kim Kardashian'
It's official: Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian aren't dating. In fact, they never were. But his fans thought otherwise and freaked out. It all started at the White House Correspondents Dinner last Saturday, when Justin Bieber, 16, tweeted a photo of himself posing with Kim Kardashian, 29, with the message, "Look, it's my girlfriend!" Moments later, Kardashian tweeted back, "I officially have Bieber fever!!!"
Well, Bieber's fans weren't too happy to see the 16-year-old pop sensation flirting with the 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' reality starlet. In fact, Kardashian started receiving threats not long after the tweets went public. On Tuesday night, she tweeted to Bieber, "Seriously Biebs! I'm getting death threats from your fans! This is unBeliebable!!!"
That's right, folks. Justin Beiber's fans sent Kim Kardashian death threats -- just for taking a photo and tweeting with him!
In an effort to calm everyone down, Beiber hit his Twitter account again on Wednesday. The teen heartbreaker wrote, "Ladies calm down. [Kardashian] is a friend. A very sexy friend but a friend. No need 4 threats. Let's all be friends and hang out often."

"There's plenty to think about and discuss in this diary-format novel based on the notorious case of Mary Mallon, also known as "Typhoid Mary." It's 1906 and 16-year-old Prudence is in her final year at a school for girls... but, unlike most of her classmates, Prudence isn't interested in being an ornamental "Gibson Girl." Instead, she craves a job where she can actually make a difference. She's always been scientifically curious, particularly regarding the nature of infection and disease.... When she lands a position as assistant to an epidemiologist working for the Department of Health and Sanitation, she quits school completely to help investigate the microbial mystery of Mary Mallon, an immigrant cook and suspected "healthy carrier" of typhus, who adamantly denies she's been unwittingly infecting a series of employers' families and instead insists she's the victim of anti-Irish discrimination. A deeply personal coming-of-age story set in an era of tumultuous social change, this is top-notch historical fiction that highlights the struggle between rational science and popular opinion as shaped by a sensational, reactionary press."

Ahead Of The Curve: LG Takes Orders For OLED TVs
Originally published on Tue July 23, 2013 6:37 am
And for our last word in business today, the world is not flat and neither are some new TVs.
That's right. LG is taking preorders in the United States for its new 55-inch TVs. They're not flat, they're curved. Samsung already sells something like this in South Korea.
MONTAGNE: The screens bend away from the viewer. Apparently, what's known as OLED technology allows for super-thin, flexible screens and vibrant colors.
GREENE: But you better really, really like the curve and those colors because the retail price for one of these things - $15,000.
That's the business news on MORNING EDITION from NPR News. I'm David Greene.
MONTAGNE: And I'm Renee Montagne. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article

After watching the summoners rift VU exhibition match:
The game looks all together dull, melancholy and slow. I think the map color brightness and or color need to go up.
But more than anything, considering the the color difference you were trying to create, The champions and spells seem to be exactly the same dull saturation and brightness as the new map. I would like to see a match with the champion and spell affects aggressively saturated.
The dullness is one of the main reasons why I can't stand DOTA 2.
some very good feedback

Could you guys make summoners rift map skins for special events? I would love to see a frozen SR. Baron gets a santa hat. I think the community would love it.
Hey, I tried to increase the contrast, saturation and vibrance and reduce the contrat a little bit.
Here are:
1. the original
2. a little modified version
3. a more modified version.
I really think it could use a bit more color and vibrance, and it won't take out of the gameplay, right now the map is a lot more vibrant and colorful and we can play on it!

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread to post this in, but..
When you kill jungle big mobs that have the "Regeneration Sigil", you get an animation of the health and mana being transferred onto you. This is helpful for telling you who killed the mob, etc. I'm not asking for the regeneration buff to be applied to you for killing blue or red buff, but just having an animation/effect for when you obtain blue or red buff from the camp. This seems to be something that has been overlooked for some reason.
Can we get the same type of animation/effect for when you kill red/blue buff? I noticed when watching LCS that it's hard to tell who got the blue/red buff if teams fight over it.
Attached pictures of the sigil and animation I was talking about.
I love to see that every single thing i pointed out in this thread got "fixed" in the VU....good job Riot
ray brown1213
well so far I like what I am seeing however just from a glance some of the walls look little thicker than they once where. Could it just be me seeing things or could it be?
I watched a 720p video of the map game play ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--pQkmm80so ).
The biggest philosophical difference between me and the Riot staff that spoke about the map is treating walls and towers as something to go unnoticed compared to minions.
The walls define the lanes, movement, and vision, and they should pop more. In a lot of areas on this map there is very low contrast between the walls and the lanes and paths. The lanes and paths should stand out apart from walls. Crisp. High contrast.
1)"This is play area." 2)"This is boundary." Those two things should just jump at you when you look at any part of the map imo. Particular portions of the bottom lane do not pop at all. I don't think it presents that well as an e-sport. It would be like taking the side lanes of a football field and making them a grey green color so they don't distract from the players. It makes sense, until you realize the lines are important: they define the play area.
In addition to missing an opportunity define the play space, the fact that boundary and play area have very little palette contrast makes the map seem very flat.
