Forty percent (PDF) of asthma episodes are caused by preventable hazards found in homes, including mold and dust mites. Social Innovation Fund (SIF) grantee Green & Healthy Homes Initiative (GHHI) is helping low-income individuals and families reduce such asthma triggers in their households.
It is doing so using a cost-effective and integrated approach that utilizes a comprehensive environmental assessment based on eight elements of "green and healthy homes:" dry, clean, pest-free, safe, contaminant-free, well-ventilated, well-maintained, and energy-efficient. A review of published studies (PDF) by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggests that such home-based, multicomponent asthma interventions provide substantial return on investment.
GHHI's asthma program is part of its integrated intervention services that also includes remediation and education for home health, safety, and energy efficiency. Its first pay for success project is located in Baltimore, Md., and will include Calvert Foundation and other investors providing up-front capital to scale the program. Program partners Johns Hopkins Health Care and the Johns Hopkins Health System will then pay back to the Calvert Foundation a portion of avoided medical costs if the program achieves agreed-upon outcomes, such as decreased asthma-related emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
To show funders the program was...

Home to the Osage Nation, with the entire county residing within the boundaries of the Osage Reservation, Osage County, OK, consists of more than 2, 251 square miles of land mass and 53 square miles of water -- an area larger than either Rhode Island or Delaware. Unfortunately, even with all this land mass, we live in an area that is designated as a "super food desert."

For too many years we have addressed the equation of "fit body and fit minds" as requiring two separate interventions. For the mind, we've looked toward mentoring. For the body, we've turned to physical activity and health education. But our AmeriCorps investment proves that a national service member can be the catalyst to fit bodies and fit minds. Our formula has been to train our AmeriCorps members on how to use the power of coaching to build relationships with at-risk youth that inspire their healthy futures.

Our nation is more health-conscious and health-aware than ever, but for many there are still obstacles – an untreated disease, obesity, or lack of healthy food -- that prevent them from living their lives to the fullest. That needs to change, and our AmeriCorps members are working to make that happen every day.

Nearly five years after President Obama announced the creation of the Social Innovation Fund (SIF) in a ceremony at the White House, the program has achieved amazing progress. Its portfolio includes more than a half billion dollars of cross-sector investments in effective community solutions. Many already show promising early results. Nonprofits are establishing new connections and building capacity that will benefit the entire social sector and the country. And the SIF is accomplishing this in a way that demonstrates the importance of combining innovation, evaluation, and scale to accelerate the pace of change.

Last year I served as a City Year AmeriCorps member at DC Scholars Stanton Elementary School in Southeast Washington, DC. In my role, I tutored and mentored the students at Stanton, and worked with teachers and administrators to help turn around one of the District's lowest performing schools. I'm proud to be part of Stanton's turnaround success story. This year I lead a team of 18 City Year AmeriCorps members, all serving through the School Turnaround AmeriCorps grant.

Lacking significant support from family, then-high school student Amanda Parris didn't believe college was an option. But her enrollment in a dropout prevention program led to night classes at a local community college and awakened a desire to give back to others.

At many low-performing, high-poverty schools across the country, graduating from high school is a 50-50 proposition. Because of the scale of the challenges faced by students and teachers, extra help is needed to ensure students receive additional personalized support

When I get invited to speak at conferences and events, people typically want to hear about the rebirth of Tulane, the story of how Tulane came back stronger and better after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. How did we manage to increase retention and graduation rates, raise student selectivity and invigorate Tulane's national reputation only a few years after the storm? While a number of decisions and people contributed to these successes, I never fail to highlight the single most important factor: our profound commitment to public service and civic engagement.

During your life's journey, I am sure that you can remember times when your path was made clearer or your baggage lighter because of someone who helped along the way. These thoughts came to mind today as President Obama outlined his plan to expand opportunity for boys and young men of color through the My Brother's Keeper initiative and a new federal task force on which I am honored to serve.

Before becoming an AmeriCorps member, John Laderer yearned for a clear direction. "I was somebody who was just floating by in high school," he said. "I really wasn't learning…and my reading, writing, and math scores reflected that."

Life is a garden, dig it. ;)
I am an artist and art teacher. I work in a few different studios and I am currently an artist in residence at the College of Marin where I recently was teaching ceramics. I enjoy an active and creative life style and am interested in someone with a spirit for adventure. I participate in many outdoor activities, including biking, hiking, sailing and I am always willing to try new things. I've been doing yoga for a couple of years, and enjoy the workout and the quiet, meditative state that it puts me in. Other favorite past times of mine include cooking. I love to try new recipes and like to watch chefs on TV for more inspiration. .Playing instruments, especially piano and drums, is also a great passion of mine and I was recently in a blues, folk band and always had a ton of fun preforming in front of people. I like to go hear music and love to dance. Although I am concerned with many social, political and environmental issues, I have a good sense of humor and try to maintain a sensible perspective. I enjoy making people laugh and my friends and family tell me I am a fun guy to be around. Any sort of creative activity and game on! I believe it is important to have a measure of creativity in everything we do. I really like teaching as it is a way for me to help others find their creativity and confidence... It's in there some where, one just has to tap into it. My top three favorite creative outlets would have to be art, music and cooking.

Banner weeks ahead for Wisconsin books, including the Scott Walker vs. unions faceoff
In the next few weeks, a bounty of nonfiction books by Wisconsin writers will be published, including an account by two Journal Sentinel reporters of the kerfuffle that began in Madison in March 2011, when Gov. Scott Walker and public employe unions battled over changes in state law that ultimately scuttled public employee bargaining rights.
"More than They Bargained For: Scott Walker, Unions, and the Fight for Wisconsin," by Jason Stein and Patrick Marley, will go on sale circa March 22 at local bookstores and online book vendors. Published by the University of Wisconsin Press, "More Than They Bargained For" offers a detailed play-by-play account of the Madison drama, including the Capitol occupation by protestors and the runaway Democratic legislators. Stein and Marley, who work out of the Journal Sentinel's Madison bureau, have added fresh reporting and interviewing to the work they did on the spot. The reporters will have a book launch event 7 p.m. March 26 at Boswell Book Co., 2559 N. Downer Ave. »Read Full Blog Post(14)
Wisconsin State Fair attendance tops a million, most since 1969
Beautiful weather drew record-breaking crowds of more than a million fairgoers to the Wisconsin State Fair this year, numbers that may be a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, fair officials said.
The 11-day event attracted 1,012,552 attendees, and even weekdays saw as many as 122,000 guests. Total attendance was 10% higher than last year and the largest reported since 1969 — though the fair only started scanning tickets in 2002, which gives the most accurate numbers. »Read Full Article(14)
Even in pink, Miranda Lambert as fiery as she wants to be
For years, Miranda Lambert was country music's female underdog.
While Carrie Underwood was an "American Idol" champion and quickly became the genre's glamorous queen, Lambert was a third-place finisher on cable TV's "Nashville Star" who preferred faded jeans to flowing gowns. Taylor Swift was the sweetheart-next door-turned worldwide pop star, while Lambert was the rough-edged spitfire — famous in her small town for all the wrong reasons. »Read Full Article
'Duck Dynasty' stars coming to Riverside Theater

APT's 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern' turns 'Hamlet' inside out
SpringGreen — Imagine having never heard of "Hamlet" and then unexpectedly becoming a small-time player in its tangled plot. Or, if you'd prefer, imagine a typical week in your own harried existence, in which you're constantly being made aware of how utterly random life can be — and how little control you really have.
It's all the same to Tom Stoppard, whose "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" fuses the Bard and Beckett in a comic and also moving commentary on modern life. Under James Bohnen's direction, we're being treated to the comedy and the pathos in a stellar production at American Players Theatre, with actors in the same roles they've assumed in APT's "Hamlet." »Read Full Article(3)

Haven't found anything to beat this as yet. Still keep coming back to it.
Always use this
I've tried the rest, but go back to this time and time again. Nothing else holds like this, and it doesn't leave too much of a residue after either so I can still style my hair the next day. It lasts for months so don't be put off by the price (although still reasonable on Feelunique).
Holds my hair in place and works well.
Great product
Been using it for a while
There's been a change in the preparation of this styling product which makes it less sticky and less easy to manage for the hair - still works to some extent but disappointing otherwise.
Super service
Great product
My normal supplier seems to have discontinued selling this product, so great you have it in stock!
Very strong hold and still keeps your hair nice and smooth. Love it
really good my boys wont use anything else
love this product its the best
Very fast service
This product has quite clearly been stored for a while and has started to dry out! Wasnt happy with the product on this occasion.
Good product, I've used feel unique a number of times and things always arrive as advertised and the prices are competitive.

Apparently Amanda Seyfried has been moving a lot lately and has opted to forgo the usual moving truck for repeated sojourns in SUVs stuffed with trash bags and boxes. I'm not sure why she's going the poor college girl route with this, considering that she's an A-list movie star with do doubt considerable bank at her disposal. However I wont look a gift horse in the mouth, because her moving strategy has given us a wonderful opportunity to behold her inspired choice in moving attire, the highlight of which are some terrific form-fitting leggings
Terrific choice there.

Ebert has just three receptions for 18 yards this season.
Ebert has just three catches for 18 yards this season, but could receive increased reps in the battered Jacksonville receiving corps in the last two games if healthy enough to play.
Wide receiver Kerry Taylor had the best game of the bunch, catching four passes for 42 yards. He was targeted five times. Mike Brown caught three passes for 20 yards. Jeremy Ebert caught one pass for 8 yards. They'll take on the Titans Week 16.
Those three were joined on the sidelines by quarterback Ricky Stanzi, guard Jacques McClendon, wide receiver Jeremy Ebert and defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick.
The healthy inactives are wide receiver Jeremy Ebert, cornerback Jamell Fleming, defensive tackle Jeremy Mincey, quarterback Ricky Stanzi and guard Jacques McClendon.
The team added receiver Jeremy Ebert to the active roster to take Williams' place. Ebert had been on the practice squad since early October, when he was waived from the active roster. He had two receptions for 10 yards in four games prior to being waived.
They placed three players on injured reserve -- safety Dwight Lowery (concussion), offensive tackle Luke Joeckel (ankle) and tight end Allen Reisner (knee). Reisner has been designated to return, while Lowery and Joeckel are out for the season.
The Jaguars also claimed Sam Young off waivers, promoted offensive tackle DeMarcus Love from the practice squad and signed guard Jacques McClendon. Lastly, the Jaguars signed Jeremy Ebert to the practice squad and waived receiver Tobias Palmer from the practice squad.
Ta'ufo'ou hauled in one pass for 5 yards. Ebert saw two targets but failed to make a catch. The others all saw just one target from quarterbacks Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert. The Jaguars play at Denver Week 6.
Ebert was with the team in Week 2, hauling in one reception for 5 yards against the Raiders.
Burton finished the game with 2 catches for 23 yards. He also ran the ball once, but ended up taking an 9 yard loss. Ebert had 1 catch for 5 yards. They'll take on Seattle Week 3.
Head coach Gus Bradley said the second-year receiver got his "bell rung," according to the Florida Times-Union, but the player said he didn't have any symptoms after practice.

Tilapia is a freshwater fish and is considered as one of the top five most consumed seafood in the US because of it's mild tasting meat which makes it very versatile and open to different ways of preparing it.

Tilapia can be prepared by baking, broiling, grilling, frying, poaching, or steaming.

RE: 111682129 Claus Doscher
Much to my own surprise, I still have the photos I took back in 2013! The closer up photo shows the inscription to be very eroded but it does look like "25 Sept" in the death date, so the Claus in the obituary may be the correct one. For the birth date, it may say June- not sure. I will post the additional photos.

RE: Alice,
I just want to say thanks so much, i cant believe that you went there and did that. I couldnt read the date before. I have been trying to find info on her forever. I need to verify her parents name, because nobody knows etc.., so, ill let you know. If your up for solving a mystery in the spring, associated with this, let me know. I would even pay you for your time if you can help me solve finding her first husband's burial place etc.. He was a Joseph Lewandowski (but may have a variance in spelling) who drowned in a river in broome county ny, with another man (possibly relative). then he was supposedly buried in schuylerville. he died between october 22 1891 (when he did his naturalization paperwok (renselear county county clerk) and 1892. Anna took the 3 boys to nyc and married a albert pohl, had 4th son John, then in 1908 married martin gronczniak. but cant find joseph lewandowski he was my great great grandfather

Hi Alice,
Lorenzo was my Gt. GT.Grandfather- I searched that cemetery at least a half dozen times looking for that stone! Thank you! It is funny, I just moved to CA (8 mo.), and now I get to see the stone! I also contacted you re: Teresa Banks Lewandusky @ St Mary's. Lorenzo was my Mom's Gt grandfather (Joseph Banks) on her Father's mothers (Elizabeth Warren) side.

I am Roy Johnson, member # 47897195. I am inquiring reference a photo you have for a martin goronczniak # 74443862 at st. peters cemetery.
He and his 1st wife Josephine are listed on the front, but on the back of the stone is his second wife Anna Goronczniak (my great great grandmother). I was there in 2005 and took a photo an didnt know it was her at the time, but now cannot make out the death date. Is there any way you might go by there and get a rubbing on the death date for me and let me know what it is? Also is there anyone there at the cemetery that would know to get more information on Anna Goronczniak? info on file at the cemetery? Thanks

baby Bennett @ Prospect Hill Cemetery
Dear Alice,
Thank you so much for posting the tombstone photo of baby Bennett for my family and me. It is greatly appreciated!
I was hoping that the tombstone would have biographical info like "infant of A & G Bennett" or "infant of A & D Bennett" or birth or death years so I would know which of Augustus V. Bennett's two wives was the mother of the baby (first wife Grace or second wife Daisy). I did go ahead and link the baby to Augustus as father. The others in plot 163 with baby Bennett and Augustus are his widowed mother Sarah, spinster sister Lelia, and second wife Daisy. I'm still looking for Grace's burial place (she died in Saratoga Co., NY too). Grace, was my maternal cousin.
With heartfelt gratitude,

Dear Alice,
Thank you so much for posting the tombstone photos of my cousin-in-law Augustus V. Bennett and his second wife Daisy for my family and me!
Helping those who live so far away from their deceased ancestors and relatives is not only a selfless act of kindness on your part, it is also a cherished and priceless gift that you give to us.
May God bless you and yours in all your endeavors!

Photoshop Masking and Compositing: Fundamentals is the introductory installment of Deke McClelland's four-part series on making photorealistic compositions in Photoshop. The course shows how to make selections, refine the selections with masks, and then combine them in new ways, using layer effects, blend modes, and other techniques to create a single seamless piece of artwork. Deke introduces the Channels panel and the alpha channel, the key to masking and transparency in Photoshop; reviews the selection tools, including the Color Range tool , Quick Mask mode, and the Refine Edge command; and shows how to blend masked images so they interact naturally.
In this exercise I'll show you four different ways to load an Alpha Channel as a selection. I'm working inside that file we saved in the previous exercise; it's called Masked man.tif found inside the 02_masks folder. The first method is to go up to the Select menu and choose the Load Selection command and then inside the Load Selection dialog box you can choose from any open document that measures the exact same pixel dimensions that is the same number of pixels wide and the same number of pixels tall. In my case I only have one image open, so that's all I see.
Then in your Channels pop up menu you'll see the names of every single alpha channel that's available to you. You won't see the names of your color bearing channels even though there are ways to load those up as selections as we'll see in future chapters. But let's say I want to load the selection that's called Front. I'll go ahead and click on it to select it. You can reverse the selection if you want by clicking on the Invert check box. However, in our case that's not what we're looking for. So I'll leave that check box off and click OK and Photoshop goes ahead and loads that selection outline.
Now I want you to note something about this experience. When you save a selection to an Alpha Channel and then load it from an Alpha Channel back to a selection outline it does not change one wit. That is an absolutely lossless conversion, because Photoshop sees the selection as an Alpha Channel at all points in time. It's actually a pixel-based grayscale image in Photoshop's mind every time you create a selection. So that's the labor-intensive method, because you have to actually choose a command and go through a dialog box and all that stuff.
The easier option is to switch to the Channels panel and then scroll down your list to the Alpha Channel that you want to load. For example, let's say I want to load the rear channel, go ahead and click on it to make it active and then drop down to this icon, the one that says Load channel as selection and click on it. That goes ahead and restores that selection outline. Now that might seem like the easiest technique, but it's actually not, because it requires you to switch to the Alpha Channel you want to load and then click an icon.
There's a better way to work. I'll go ahead and switch back to my RGB image, which as your recall you can get to by pressing Ctrl+2 or Command+2 on the Mac, and then let's say I want to load the eyes channel. All I need to do is press the Ctrl key or the Command key on the Mac. Notice that my cursor changes from a pointing finger to a pointing finger with an inset marquee. Go ahead and Ctrl+Click or Command+ Click and you load that Alpha Channel as a selection without having to actually switch to the Alpha Channel.
So that is probably my favorite technique, the one I just showed you. That's the one I use most often, but there is yet another technique that doesn't involve any clicking whatsoever. You can if you like load the Alpha Channel from the keyboard. Now I'm going to backup a little bit as you may recall from the previous chapter, you can switch channels from the keyboard by pressing Ctrl along with the number. So Ctrl+3 switches to the Red channel, Ctrl+4 switches to the Green channel, and Ctrl+5 switches to the Blue channel. You can also switch to your Alpha Channels and you can see those shortcuts listed right there in the Channels panel.
So Ctrl+6 or Command+6 switches to the eyes channel, Ctrl+7 or Command+7 for front, and Ctrl+8 or Command+8 for rear. I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+2 or Command+2 to switch back to the RGB image. If you add the Alt key or the Option key on a Mac then you'll load the channel as a selection. So I'll press Ctrl+D or Command+D on the Mac just so that we don't have anything selected onscreen. Then I'll press Ctrl+Alt+6 or Command+Option+6 on the Mac. That loads that eyes channels as a selection, Ctrl+Alt+7 or Command+Option+7 on the Mac loads front, and Ctrl+Alt+8 or Command+Option+8 on a Mac loads rear.
So there you have it, four different ways to load Alpha Channels as selections inside Photoshop. You can pick or choose any method you like. In the next exercise we'll load up the eyes channel and we'll use it to create some glowing faces for the goggles.

Bethesda's Howard: People Discount Graphics
In case you haven't figured it out by now, the DICE Summit is a place where a bunch of game developers congregate to say things. Lots of things. Promising things, important things, silly things. But these sorts of events tend to have a unifying thread running through them ' something that stitches all the itsy-bitsy baby things into a mighty Thingzilla. This year, though, it was a bit strange. The conference's main refrain was 'So yeah, what's next?' But the reply was a chorus of 'Errr, I dunnos.' The future's right around the corner, but is it bite-sized and lo-fi, biometric, entirely user-driven, mobile, console, open, closed, or something else entirely? On edge, is how I'd describe the general sentiment. Unsure. Well, except for when I spoke with Bethesda's Todd Howard. He didn't seem particularly worried, in large part thanks to these here personal computing devices we're so fond of.

REI is, in fact, a cooperative owned by its members—much like, say, the Park Slope Food Co-Op, or a credit union, or a kibbutz.
kibbutz Beit Oren ("Home of Pine") was hastily evacuated and went up in flames.
The thing is, what he says about the kibbutz gives us yet more insight into what he thinks about, and how he would run, America.
"Israeli collective settlement," 1931, from Modern Hebrew qibbus "gathering," earlier "a gathering together," verbal noun from root of qibbetz "he gathered together." Plural is kibbutzim. Related to Arabic quabada "he grasped, seized."
plur. kibbutzim (ki-boot-seem)
A communal farm or settlement in Israel. Kibbutzim have helped build national spirit in Israel, and the residents have transformed barren land into fertile, crop-producing land.

UE Board President pledges help to UE president who was arrested for driving while intoxicated
Update: Niel Ellerbrook, chairman of the University of Evansville board of trustees says he is deeply saddened for Dr. and Mrs. Jennings following the arrest of the University of Evansville President for driving while intoxicated.
"The Board feels he has done a wonderful job for this university and this community, and it is our intention to do whatever is needed to help Steve," Ellerbrook said.
University of Evansville President Stephen G. Jennings said Thursday he will participate in a first time offender program for drunk drivers in the wake of his arrest for driving while intoxicated.
Jennings, 61, was jailed overnight after allegedly driving while intoxicated after he was stopped by an Evansville police office on the Lloyd Expressway.
Jennings released the following statement through the university just before noon today:
"I have obviously made a very serious mistake, and I apologize to the campus community and the community at large. I will take every necessary action to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Because this is my first offense, I have been offered enrollment in the DADS (drug and alcohol deferral service) program and have taken that step this morning. I assure you that I will successfully complete this program, and I will work with the University and any other appropriate organizations as may be requested or necessary. "
The officer noticed Jenning's vehicle driving recklessly on the eastbound Lloyd Expressway, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the case. He was released this morning on $250 bond at 9:32 a.m.
Jennings registered a 0.14 blood alcohol level on a portable breathalyzer test, the affidavit said. Police say he later refused to submit to a chemical test.
Jennings, driving a Toyota Avalon with the license plate UE 1, was pulled over at about 10:15 p.m. near the Boeke Road exit.
Evansville Police Officer Todd Seibert wrote in the affidavit that he saw Jennings weave between lanes, drive off the roadway into a median near U.S. 41 and nearly hit construction barrels. Seibert activated his emergency lights near the Weinbach Avenue exit, the affidavit said, after Jennings sped up to about 60 miles per hour and then slowed to 40.
According to the affidavit, Seibert "immediately smelled a very strong odor of alcoholic beverages coming from the driver," who had "bloodshot and glassy eyes."
Jennings initially denied drinking but later told officers he had had two beers, the affidavit said.
He reportedly failed several field sobriety tests, at which point officers arrested Jennings and booked him into the Vanderburgh County Jail.
There, police say he refused to submit to a certified chemical test.
Jennings is facing preliminary charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, refusing a chemical test, unsafe lane movement and driving left of center. Both are misdemeanors, and no court date has been set.
He made an initial court appearance via video from the jail this morning.

Great service and spotless rooms

This hotel was awesome from the moment we walked in. The staff wanted to make sure that we were comfortable and that we had everything we needed. The room was incredible. I would most definitely stay here again
Excellent Stay/Staff/Room

Booked a block of rooms for a 14U travel softball team and Lanette Wood was great to work with. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are amazingly comfortable. We even held a team dinner in the meeting room and the staff was very accommodating when the caterer forgot to provide place settings.
Nice stay. Will come back if I need a bed.
May 18, 2015
I just needed a room for a few hours until the morning when I have business in town. I arrived around 12 midnight, the check-in was painless and I got my key and wifi password within 5 minutes and I was on my way. The rooom is nice and clean and in much better condition than I thought. Everything is as expected.

We are an IRC network dedicated to the community behind the television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. We have been in service for 4 years and plan to be around for many more to come.
Hello all,
Lots of things have been changing over here at PonyChat HQ and here is the promised post explaining everything we have changed.
This month marks the third anniversary of PonyChat. Three years ago two small groups of fans decided that it was time for a dedicated network for My Little Pony to be built that catered to fans of all kinds. In the beginning, both groups independently and without knowledge of the other started working on building the best network they could, and when they finally learned of each other it was decided that it would be in everyone's best interest to merge, so that fans of MLP would not be split between networks.
With a degree of sadness we must announce the discontinuation of three of our servers. Rainbowdash, Rarity, and Twilightsparkle. They were our original servers and the ones PonyIRC were founded on and which evolved into the PonyChat that you know today. Changes within staff have resulted in a strong reduction in budget for services. The three aforementioned servers are our most expensive and therefore must go. As a result tonight around midnight there will be a net-split as these servers are removed from service.

Hello there!
I am intending to depart on my bike from what was a life of security and stability here in the Midlands, it was not that great as you can imagine!!!
I plan on touring the Isles rather aimlessly until bored of it or broke. If merely bored then I amy well head overseas and carry on.
I will be couchsurfing, warmshowering, staying with friends, stealh camping and generally seeking out company and generosity.
I intend to leave end of march time from Nottingham. My question to you all is anyone interested perhaps joining me? Or is anyone you know currently touring who you think might like some company for as little or as long as is fit?
No pressure, no schedule, just cycling for cyclings sake )

I include this headline to make you think I'm adorable, spunky & carefree.
You see, finding the "one" is way harder than people think. Yeah, there are people out there. But should I settle for - eh when I know amazing is out there too? Mediocre just doesn't seem like the life I want to lead. So about me: I'm a small town girl in the "big city" ... At least that's what my family considers it. I have a sense of humor, laugh like crazy, care about things fiercely, am loyal to the bone, like beautiful things, have strong morals, occasionally get all sorts of reflective and want to see the world but like to have my happy life to come back to. I'm quirky, but really who isn't? I read .. A lot, I have impeccable long term memory .. Rain man style, I'm in love with being Irish, I was born on 8/8/88 - 2.5 weeks late, I blame that for my constant 10 minutes behind life, I'm writing a book - that I plan to epublish by the summer, in 3rd grade I convinced the class my middle name (Mariah) was because my aunt is Mariah Carey - I was famous for a whole week until my stupid teacher debunked it, I moved onto selling Captain Morgan key chains from my dads bar because Imma boss (and entrepreneur?), my addiction to new music is all consuming - life is just better when you have a kick ass soundtrack. What I'm looking for: I have a type, come on everyone's got one. He's tough and sarcastic, likes to bicker with me and point out when I mispronounce things when I start to talk too passionately, backs me up because that's what you do. He cares about his family and friends but is a independent. He doesn't budge because he's stubborn. He cares about me, laughs with me and doesn't need a flashy life, only a good life. He works equally as hard as I do, wants a family, isn't TOO serious ... Laughter makes life wayyy more interesting. That's it! Be you, be with me for me and let the chips fall where they may. I'm not looking to move in with you next month. I'm not looking for you to pay my bills, I have far too much pride to be a clinger and I just want someone to share life with. Good luck!

Cellular localisation of Scar3. C2C12 cells were stained with anti-Scar/WAVE3, anti-Arp3, anti-Abi1 and fluorescently labelled phalloidin to investigate the cellular localisation of endogenous proteins. (A) C2C12 cells stained with (i) anti-Scar/WAVE3 (green), (ii) phalloidin (red) (iii) reveal co-localisation of Scar/WAVE3 with cortical polymerised actin in membrane ruffles. Scar/WAVE3 also colocalises with other areas enriched in polymerised actin, but not stress fibres.

The Twonky is a 1953 comedy-science fiction film, written and directed by Arch Oboler and starring Hans Conried.[1] The script was based on the short story "The Twonky", written by Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore (writing as Lewis Padgett).
Plot synopsis[edit]
After seeing his wife off on her trip, Kerry West, a philosophy teacher at a small-town college, goes inside his home to contemplate his new purchase – a television set. Sitting down in his office, he places a cigarette in his mouth and is about to light it when a beam shoots from the television screen lighting it for him. Absentmindedly unaware of what has taken place, it is only when the television subsequently lights his pipe that West realizes that his television is behaving abnormally.
West soon discovers that the television can walk and perform a variety of functions, including dishwashing, vacuuming, and card-playing. When the television deliveryman returns to settle the bill, the television materializes copies of a five-dollar bill in order to provide payment. Yet the television soon exhibits other, more controlling traits, permitting West only a single cup of coffee and breaking West's classical music records in favor of military marches to which it dances. After West demonstrates the television to his friend Coach Trout, the coach declares the television set to be a "twonky", the word he used as a child to label the inexplicable.
Trout soon concludes that the Twonky is a robot committed to serving West. When he tests his hypothesis by attempting to kick West, the Twonky paralyzes his leg. After tending to the coach, West attempts to write a lecture on the role of individualism in art, but the Twonky hits him with beams that alter his thoughts and censors his reading. When West attempts to give his lecture the next day, he finds himself unable to do more than ramble on about trivialities. Frustrated, West goes to the store from which his wife had ordered the television and demands that they take it back or exchange it.
Meanwhile, at West's house, the coach has summoned members of the college's football team and ordered them to destroy the Twonky. West arrives with the television deliveryman and his replacement set, only to find the players passed out in front of the machine. When West wakes them up, they appear to be in a hypnotic state mumbling that they have "no complaints," a condition the Twonky soon inflicts on the deliveryman as well. Upstairs, Trout theorizes that the Twonky is from a future "super state" that uses such machines to control the population, which the Twonky soon demonstrates by walking into the room and altering his mind so that he no longer believes there to be a problem. As the now-fixed Trout attempts to leave, police storm into the house in response to a call made by the device seeking female companionship for West, followed by Treasury men tracking down the $5 bills manufactured by the device. When the law enforcement officers attempt to arrest West, though, the Twonky places all of them in a trance, and they leave without complaint.
Frustrated, West escapes the house and returns drunk, only to have the Twonky return him to sobriety with a ray. When his wife returns to see a visiting bill collector driven from their home by the machine, West decides to take action. Luring the device into his car, he attempts to crash it by a variety of means but is frustrated by the Twonky's ability to control the vehicle. Spotting a vehicle parked alongside the road, West pulls over and abandons his car, hitching a ride from the other driver, an elderly Englishwoman. His relief at having escaped is soon negated by the woman's erratic driving, and by the discovery that the Twonky was able to hide in the trunk. When the Twonky attempts to stop the woman's reckless driving, it precipitates a crash that destroys the device for good.

|4 Ounce, softened (100 Gram)
|Icing sugar
|5 Ounce (150 Gram)
|Golden syrup
|2 Tablespoon
|1 , beaten
|Plain flour
|10 Ounce (275 Gram)
|2 Cup (32 tbs)
|Lemon juice
|2 Tablespoon
|Coffee crystals
|2 Ounce (50 Gram)
Lightly grease two baking trays.
Cream the butter or margarine with the icing sugar and syrup until very soft, light and fluffy.
Gradually add the egg, beating continuously, then work in the flour and mix well to make a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 30, then form each piece into a pencil thin roll 25 cm/10 in long.
Form each roll into a pretzel shape on the baking tray.
Loop the strip of dough into a loosely knotted circle, leaving fairly long ends.
Press the ends neatly on the dough at the base of the circle.
Chill for 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
Bake the pretzels in a moderately hot oven (190C, 375 F, gas 5) for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Leave to cool on the trays for a minute before transferring the biscuits to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the biscuits are cooling, make the glace icing according to the recipe instructions.
To decorate the pretzels, thin the glace icing with the lemon juice until it just coats the back of a spoon.
Quickly spoon the glaze over the pretzels and sprinkle the coffee crystals evenly over the top before the glaze sets.

Did you know that you can claim money back on the overall cost of your uniform including maintenance? If you did good on you, but have you claimed the money back yet? If you haven't heard about this before then it might come to a shock to you because I bet you thought that money was long gone and it would never be returned am I right? With uniform tax rebate you can!
What I will be covering in this post is a guide on how you can claim tax relief on your uniform expenditure for work.
How does this process work?
For this process to work you will need to have a job that involves you to purchase and maintain your own work uniform. The uniform has to be related for the job role and not your normal clothes! How uniform tax rebate works is by calculating your annual pay and allowing you to claim back 20% of through tax relief and this allowance is sent by cheque through the post.
How can you claim?
It is very simple, you need to be working for a company for at least a year and you are required to have a uniform for this allowance to work. You have to remember that you can't claim any money on your own clothes that you chose to wear to work. All you have to do is go online type in uniform tax rebate in a search engine and click the website most relevant. Then simply fill out a little bit of information and then you will receive a cheque through the post with the amount of money you were allowed to claim! Simple.

Rugby League World Cup: Tonga end Italy's hopes; Scotland into quarter-finals
Last Updated: 10/11/13 7:14pm
Tonga eliminated Italy from the World Cup with a 16-0 win in Halifax, a result that sends Scotland through to a quarter-final date with holders New Zealand.
Although the Scots ended their group campaign with five points out of a possible six, their fate hung in the balance until after Sunday's clash at The Shay.
Scotland coach Steve McCormack and his squad watched the action on television from their Manchester hotel knowing an Italian victory would put his undefeated team out of the competition and that was still a possibility after a try-less first half which closed with Tonga just 2-0 in front.
Tonga, roared on by the 10,266 crowd which lapped up the charging runs of Fuifui Moimoi, came on strong in the second half.
Instead of going through to the last eight, Italy, who warmed up for the World Cup with a shock win over England, finish bottom of Group C after suffering their first defeat.
Disallowed tries
Scotland, who will have been relieved to see Italy have two tries disallowed, will now go back into training to prepare for Friday's clash with the Kiwis at Headingley.
Tonga suffered an early blow with the loss of hooker Patrick Politoni with an arm injury after just three minutes but they created the first scoring opportunity when St Helens second rower Willie Manu lost the ball going for the line.
The Pacific Islanders had the better of the first half but Italy's defence, superbly marshalled by skipper Anthony Minichiello, held firm and Tonga's hard-running threequarters Mahe Fonua and Jorge Taufua were both bundled into touch just short of the corner.
Prop Paul Vaughan created Italy's best scoring chance of the first half but second rower Cameron Ciraldo could not take his pass while left winger Josh Mantellato was held up over the line without being able to ground the ball.
The only points of the first half came a minute before the break when Italy were caught offside in front of their posts and stand-off Samsoni Langi opted to go for goal.
Italy thought they had scored again within a minute of the re-start when they shifted the ball to the right to get centre James Tedesco into space and he sped away to the line.
However, for the second time video referee Phil Bentham ruled the Italian player had been unable to ground the ball and Tonga made the most of the let-off.
Moimoi on the charge
Another barnstorming run from Moimoi got his side into a great attacking position and Manu took Langi's short pass to crash through the Italian defence for a try.
Langi's conversion made it 8-0 but the Azzurri came back strongly.
Replacement hooker Ray Nasso charged down a kick from his opposite number Daniel Foster and re-gathered the ball to scamper downfield but Foster got back to make the tackle.
The Tongan defence was subjected to relentless pressure but impressive full-back Nesiasi Mataitonga launched a counter-attack to set up the position for Foster to force his way over for a solo try, although he appeared to put the ball down on a defender's leg.
If there was any controversy over the score, it was quickly forgotten as Foster carved out a third try for substitute Peni Terepo to wrap up the win.

Interactif Favored in Tough Juvenile Turf
As expected, Wertheimer and Frere's homebred Interactif was made the favorite for the $1 million Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf (gr. IIT). The son of Broken Vow , 4-1 on the morning-line, will face 11 rivals in the one-mile race Nov. 7 at Santa Anita.
Interactif, the lone two-time graded stakes winner in the field, drew post 11 and will be guided by regular rider Kent Desormeaux. The bay colt enters off consecutive grade III victories on the grass, the With Anticipation Stakes at Saratoga and Bourbon Stakes at Keeneland. In the latter, Interactif won despite coming from well off the pace and overcoming a wide trip on the soft turf course.
A trio of European-based 2-year-olds are next on the morning-line —Pounced (9-2), Buzzword (6-1), and Viscount Nelson (6-1). Godolphin's Buzzword, from the barn of Saeed bin Suroor, is the lone group stakes winner of the three, having won the Sept. 6 Prix La Rochette (Fr-III) at Longchamp, but Pounced and Viscount Nelson are both coming off close runner-up efforts in top-rated stakes in Europe.
The only other horse with a morning line of less than double-digits is Bridgetown (8-1), winner of Woodbine's Summer Stakes (Can-III) on Sept. 19. Ken McPeek trains the son of Speightstown .
Also of note are a pair of entrants owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, both of them by first-year sire Kitten's Joy . Kera's Kitten, undefeated in two starts, and Becky's Kitten, runner-up in the Summer Stakes, will break right next to each other, from posts 9 and 10, respectively. Dean's Kitten, also a Ramsey-owned horse by Kitten's Joy, is the first also-eligible in the race.
The BC Juvenile Turf is the first of eight Breeders' Cup races Nov. 7 and is slated for a 10:45 a.m. PDT post.

Male Ensemble Northwest was formed in Longview, Washington, in 1982, the brainchild of Howard Meharg of Longview, who wanted to form a singing group as well as encourage young males in public schools to sing in choirs of all kinds. Thus it was that Male Ensemble Northwest was formed to demonstrate a high level of music making by choral conductors from the Pacific Northwest region and also to promote male choral singing.
In the years since its inception, MEN has appeared in concerts from local churches and auditoriums to regional and national audiences, always remembering to spread the message of male singing. They have performed at national conventions of the American Choral Directors Association in Washington, D. C., and San Antonio; and several Northwest regional conventions. They have appeared at the leadership conference of ACDA in Lawton, OK, and several state conventions, most recently in Oshkosh, WI.
While a high level of artistry is always an important goal, the members of MEN value the professional and personal associations they have with each other. It is important that the personal soul is fed as well as the artistic.

When I disable W3TC, it works again. Only Post-Tiles breaks (out of my 20-odd plugins) with W3TC.
