Do chemicals lurking in bottled water and canned food increase your abdominal fat?
A new study from Harvard School of Public Health and published in the journal Environmental Health found that commonly-found toxins in plastics are linked to both general obesity and abdominal obesity. Known as Bisphenol A or BPA for short, these hormone disruptors have been primarily found in plastic, including plastic food and beverage packaging.
Like what you're reading? Then LIKE us on Facebook!
Harvard scientists studied the effects of BPA to see low-dose exposures of the toxin increased abdominal or general fat in humans. They were aware of previous studies showing that low-dose BPA increased obesity in rodents. The scientists assessed the urinary BPA concentrations, body mass index, and waist circumference in 2747 adult men and women ranging in age from 18 to 74.
BPA can be found as a component of some types of plastic bottles, and also in the lining inside of canned foods.
Since BPA is a known "xenoestrogen", it's been linked in animal studies (at surprisingly small doses) to all sorts of various health issues such as cancer, metabolic disorders, heart disease, diabetes, and fertility problems and birth defects or miscarriages… and of course, any xenoestrogens in large enough amounts can trigger your body to hold onto abdominal fat (aka – stubborn belly fat).
The major offenders to look for are polycarbonate bottles (some plastics with the #7 symbol on the bottom are polycarbonate, but not all) and also canned foods, since the lining of most canned foods contains BPA, which can leach into food. The longer that a can of food sits on a shelf and the higher the temperature, the more BPA can leach into your food. The same can be said for polycarbonate bottles that contain food or drinks.
According to the Environmental Working Group (EWG), BPA was detected in the bodies of 95% of Americans in one CDC study (this is a worldwide issue though, not just limited to the US).
The Environmental Working Group reports, "analysis of our tests reveals that for one of every five cans tested, and for one-third of all vegetables and pastas (ravioli and noodles with tomato sauce), a single serving would expose a pregnant woman to BPA at levels that fall within a factor of 5 of doses linked to birth defects — permanent damage of developing male reproductive organs".
Their findings aren't surprising given the toxin is a known hormone and metabolism disruptor. The higher the urinary concentrations of BPA (indicating higher exposures), the more likely a person was obese and experiencing abdominal obesity. The adults with the highest amounts of BPA in their urine were 75 percent more likely to be obese than those with the lowest amounts of BPA.

In the letters-to-the-editor section in the Dec. 5, 1973, Amarillo Daily News, Amarillo resident Don Halsell suggested how residents could save both electricity and the holiday spirit.
Halsell suggested every family in the community pick one night before Christmas and eat dinner by candlelight.
"It isn't the amount of light that's important at Christmas time so much as the way it is used," Halsell wrote. "One little candle in the window is more eloquent than a 200-watt naked light globe hanging in the garage. The holiday spirit is about what's glowing on the inside more than what's glowing on the outside."

Decorative Painting and Remodeling for a Child
From Dean Dowd on August 17, 2007 in General Remodel
First time parents often decide to hire an artist to paint a baby's bedroom with colorful characters, sweet animals, or a starry ceiling with paint that lights up at night to enhance the bedtime experience. These creative ideas add so much to the charm of a nursery atmosphere. Youll want to hire a decorative painting artist before the room is freshly painted in order to allow that person to help decide on the background colors for the room. Perhaps a pallete of sky blue is needed for the addition of some fluffy clouds, or a deeper ocean blue for some sailboats. Since a baby spends much of his first months and years lying in his crib, it makes sense to develop a design that may be applied primarily to the ceiling and the upper walls, which the baby will see and delight in the most. Naturally, it is important to have all of the painting done well in advance of the arrival of the baby to ensure that the fumes have disappeared. Once a space has been freshly painted by a professional, this is when the decorative painting begins. Other ideas for a nursery wall might be the characters from a beloved childrens film, nursery rhymes, or mural of a lovely secret garden with a trompe loeil stone pathway with playful squirrels and rabbits. Trompe loeil is French for fool the eye. When its time to remodel the nursery and add a bigger childs bed, this is when it makes sense to hire a contractor to make the most out of the space. Plan these features carefully to ensure their practicality for a long time to come. Some lasting ideas for a childs room might include a custom closet with a built-in storage and display system for favorite toys and collections. For the school-aged child, of course youll want to add a study area with computer components. If there is enough space, you might add a crafts or hobby area, or a table and chairs for tea parties. When a child graduates from a nursery and is talking, this is the perfect time to involve him or her in choosing the colors and designs for the bedroom. Given the opportunity to express them, children have some of the most creative and fanciful ideas. A child may want dinosaurs or the planets of the solar system to decorate a bedroom. Or he might want to choose a particular color scheme. Perhaps a child might like to design and paint her own brightly-colored bathroom tiles, which could be glazed and fired at a crafts studio and incorporated into her bathroom tile design. To develop a childs independence, storage areas should be designed as much as possible to be within his reach so he can get things out and put them away himself. Out of reach areas might be utilized for sweaters and other warm clothes in the summertime or sporting equipment that is only utilized on occasion. Clothes or toys that your child has grown out of could also be stored up above and saved for other siblings or occasionally cleaned out for charitable donations or yard sales.

T-Mobile LG Doubleplay (Flip II) press shots leaked, two screens in tow
In June this year was when we first got our eyes on an upcoming LG Android-powered smartphone that featured a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard which was split in two to make room for a second touchscreen tucked in the middle of the keyboard. Even back then, the phone had T-Mobile branding, and now it seems pretty clear that that's where it's headed whenever it will see the light of day.
Then in August we saw it again and it even got a name – Flip II. But apparently that was nothing more than a codename. Today press shots of this exact smartphone have been leaked to PocketNow, and according to these images, the phone will be called LG Doubleplay. The T-Mobile branding is still there, by the way.
This is undoubtedly a unique device. That said, the keyboard looks very cramped because of that second screen. As for the second screen's usability or usefulness – well, we'll just say we won't bet on it being anything more than a gimmick. A desperate attempt to differentiate. But we'll see. Maybe this will be a best-selling device, who knows. Though we kind of doubt it.
Anyway, rumored specs include a 320×480 (main) touchscreen, and a 5 MP camera. The LG Doubleplay should be launched by T-Mobile on November 2, and you'll apparently be able to pick one up for $149.99 if you agree to sign a new two-year contract with the carrier.

May is National Skin Cancer/Melanoma Awareness Month. Dr. Janet Zand of Système 41 makes us aware that although most of the time UV rays are associated with spending too much time in the sun or spending time on a tanning bed, UV lights in nail salons also expose the public to unwanted UV rays. There is an easy way to avoid this. Let your nail polish dry on its own.
"Most people see manicures and nail polish as beauty enhancements. But if you use a UV light to dry your nails, you are doing just the opposite. Not only can these lights damage and age your skin, they can even increase your risk of skin cancer. Different lamps give off different amounts of radiation. And, of course, your risk increases the longer you stay under them. But they all still give off some radiation, so they all carry a risk. And since there are safer alternatives to the lamps, it's best to skip them altogether," says Dr. Zand.
"Gel manicures are becoming increasingly popular since they are longer-lasting than regular polish. But these polishes typically require the use of UV light to dry. If you must get a gel manicure, ask your manicurist for UV protective covers to slide your hands or feet into before using the lamp. Or ask for UV sunscreen."
Dr. Zand shares a safer alternative Vinylux nail polish. "Like gel, it has a specific top coat, but you don't need a UV light to dry it. It doesn't last quite as long. But you won't be putting your skin at risk just to stretch out your manicure or pedicure a few extra days."
Keeping your skin protected from the sun is essential to defending yourself from skin cancer and premature aging.
Many stories, facts and news about skin cancer can be found at The Skin Cancer Foundation website (skincancer.org). Learn more about Dr. Zand at systeme41.com .

Another work of art from Private. Gorgeous women taking on all cummers in any (and many) entryway available, handsome and refined men who clearly love women and are willing to selflessly share their favors with their friends. Excellent lighting, sound, and sets. Lovely shots of scenic Europe, tons of anal, d.p.s, and reverse cowgirls. you get the picture. Some edits are a bit abrupt, but the action is so hot that it's easily overlooked.
Given the number of virtually unknown European beauties packed into this tape, it would be nice if Private would make it easier to identify them. They have some of the most beautiful skin and shapes imaginable, and manage to keep looking incredible even while doing the most deliciously depraved things. Must be that Old World charm.

New Socialization Workshop of the Incentive for Horticulture Production Project
La Cumbre, San Marcos, Ocotepeque.- A new socialization workshop recently took place as part of the implementation of the information and communication strategy of the Incentives for Horticulture Production Project, financed by the Millennium Challenge Account-Honduras and implemented by the Honduras Brotherhood Association (Asociación Hermandad de Honduras). The meeting took place at the Escuela Rural Mixta of La Cumbre del Jaralón in San Marcos, in the Ocotepeque Department, and attendees included 28 producers (8 women and 20 men) who expressed their interest in the benefits that the project will implement through an integral production system aimed at increasing profitability in horticulture crops.
With this approach, the Project is proposing an integration process between MCA-Honduras as the cooperation agency, and Honduras Brotherhood Association as the technical assistance partner, in order to confront in a more organized way, the challenges imposed by poverty reduction goals.
This web site was made possible through a grant given by the people of the United States to Honduras through the Millennium Challenge Corporation under the terms of a compact signed between the two countries. The information provided on this Web site is not official

Veteran wide receiver Patrick Crayton began his post-NFL career in 2012 even though he still believed he could play in the league. Crayton said he started a mouthpiece company, opened multiple hamburger eateries with a former teammate and built a school in Dallas.
Then the Saints called him out of the blue and asked him in for a workout. On Monday, Crayton was the newest member of the Saints' training camp roster, running routes in individual drills and replacing Brent Leonard, who was cut, as No. 86 in the program.
Crayton, 34, sat out the 2012 season after playing for the Chargers in 2011. His best season was in 2007, when he caught 50 passes for 697 yards and seven touchdowns. He also doubles as punt returner and was getting reps at the position Monday at practice.
Crayton said not many teams called him for workouts during the past year, nonetheless he stayed prepared for an opportunity, though this one came nearly three weeks into training camp.
"Staying prepared was easy," Crayton said. "The mental part of not knowing is the hard part. I'm back in it now."
The Saints signed veteran wide receiver Steve Breaston last week after Joe Morgan sustained a season-ending knee injury during the team's Black and Gold scrimmage.
Crayton said he never thought his NFL career was finished. He said what helps him coming in this late is his knowledge of the game and mental approach.
"I'm 'Paw Paw,'" Crayton said. "Don't tell them young guys that because I can still run circles around them.
"But I'm 'Paw Paw.'"
Saints coach Sean Payton spent two seasons with Crayton in Dallas during the 2004 and 2005 seasons when Payton was the Cowboys' offensive coordinator.
"He's still the same hard-nosed coach that he was underneath Bill (Parcells)," Crayton said. "He's the head guy and he's bringing a little edge to it himself. It's good.
"I love it because he doesn't sugarcoat."
Wallace has been limited with a groin injury and just started participating fully in practice again this week. He sat out last Friday's first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, giving more snaps to second-team quarterback Luke McCown.
It's likely Wallace will see a lot of playing time against the Raiders so the Saints can evaluate his progress. McCown played three quarters and went 18-of-28 for 216 yards and two touchdowns against the Chiefs.
"Luke played an extensive amount last week," Wallace said. "Now, it is my turn to go out and play. ...
"Missing last week and not being able to play in the game, it is my turn to step in and get some reps out here in practice and to be able to go out there and run the system the way they want it."
Wallace said Friday's game is his first time on turf "in a while," and his first time in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in almost a decade. The Saints signed Wallace in April. He was out of football in 2012 and last played with Cleveland in 2011.
"I still remember the last time I played here," he said. "It was right before (Hurricane) Katrina, and we were one of the last teams to play here in the preseason when I was with Seattle. Hopefully, (it will be) a fast-paced game, and I am just excited about the opportunity."
Staff writer Katherine Terrell contributed to this report.

BLOG: Jessica Simpson's Diet "Derailed" Because Of Dad's "Gay Scandal"
Jessica Simpson has fallen off the "diet wagon" due to stress over her dad's so-called "gay scandal," reports RadarOnline.
The webloid claims Simpson, whose mom Tina filed for divorce from Joe Simpson last month, "has been eating her emotions away" after rumors surfaced that her father "allegedly had gay relations with two men."
A supposed "source" for the blog says, "Jessica's diet has been seriously derailed ever since the gay allegations against her father were released."
The purported "insider" notes, "Jessica isn't sticking to the portion plan and isn't losing as much weight as she should."
"Her emotions are all over the place right now," adds the source.
Actually, it's this story that's all over the place.
For starters, Gossip Cop has been told by a Simpson family friend that Joe is NOT believed to be gay.
And the blog does not provide a single ounce of evidence that Simpson has abandoned her healthy lifestyle in recent weeks, other than conveniently vague statements about her so-called "derailed" diet.
Also: Has RadarOnline even seen a photo of Simpson recently? She looks as fit as ever since giving birth to baby Maxwell.
This story is just another weak attempt to use the star's family matters to create drama in her personal life.
It's NOT true.
A source close to Simpson tells Gossip Cop she's keeping up her healthy eating and exercising, and is feeling great about her body.

Medical Lake wrestlers went to work last weekend in a place known for vacationing, coming home from 1A Bi-District competition in Chelan with three wrestlers headed to this week's Mat Classic XXV in the Tacoma Dome.
"We did well, we took six and placed five," Cardinals' head coach Sam Petersen said. As a team, Medical Lake scored 64 points, good for ninth behind champion Quincy's 196. Chewelah was the Northeast A League's top team, fourth at 103 points.
Anton King emerged from the 138-pound weight class as a champion, Medical Lake's top finisher. The senior won by a pin in 1 m...

I don't know why, but for some reason I've been going through a disaster movie phase this past month. It started out with "Airport '77" and escalated quickly through the 1970s to the 1990s and beyond. I hit as many of the sub-genres along the way as I could by watching "The Towering Inferno," "Meteor," "Daylight," "Sharknado" and more. Needless to say, it wasn't hard for me to get into the zone when I received Anchor Bay Entertainment and SyFy Channel's "End of the World."
A video store owner (Greg Grunberg) and his film geek buddy (Neil Graston) find they're the key to saving the world when an electrically-fueled storm of dust and lightning bursts pound the Earth. The two unlikely heroes use their previously useless knowledge of disaster film scenarios to discover a way to save the planet from certain doom. At the same time, they must lead a group of friends to safety while fighting their way through gangs of survivors trying to steal their van and supplies for themselves.
The back of the DVD cover has a quote stating, "The best film that I've ever seen on SyFy!" I would have to side with Through the Shattered Lens' Lisa Bowman that "End of the World" is one of the better straight-to-cable movies my eyes have gazed upon. The story really isn't anything new, but is made tolerable through characters that are both likable and easy to hate depending on what their specific role in the movie demands of them.
The casting director for "End of the World" kept their end of the bargain by packing the movie full of familiar genre faces for various audiences to grab on to. Greg Grunberg ("Heroes") and Neil Grayston ("Eureka") play the leads. They trade sci-fi banter and film quotes that make hardcore geeks feel like they're in on a joke not every viewer will get. Brad Dourif ("The Lord of the Rings," "The Exorcist III," and every independent horror or sci-fi project he has time to be in) plays the crazy doctor who holds the answer to how to stop Armageddon from happening. Too bad he's only in the movie long enough to act nuts for five or ten minutes and then die.
The special effects are as good as you can expect from low-budget fare like "End of the World." The CGI team does what they can with the money they've been given. The way the unfortunate folks who get hit by the electrical pulsing meteorites explode more than make up for how animated the effects might look.
"End of the World" is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and some disturbing images. There are some scenes where people explode in a splash of digital gore, but nothing out of the ordinary for these types of movies. I recall some bad language spread throughout as well.
No bonus material is included for "End of the World." That doesn't really come as a surprise. I'm sure nothing out of the ordinary happened while making the movie. I'm sure they could've drummed up some fun interviews with the cast and crew, but let's be honest. Would it really have added anything we really needed to see?
"End of the World" is an adequate entry into the sci-fi and disaster film genres. It will suffice for those who have burned through all the other movies of its type and are looking for something new to watch. It's further made tolerable through the wink-wink-nudge dialogue traded between its two nerdy lead characters. If you're looking for something to pass the time on a Saturday night, I would recommend this for folks who enjoy a good grade-C flick.
"End of the World" is available now on DVD and as a Digital Download.

Last August NASCAR champion Tony Stewart saw his Sprint Cup season end abruptly. The part owner of Stewart-Haas Racing was competing in one of his many races away from the NASCAR circuit, a dirt race in Iowa, when he crashed and suffered a horrific fracture to his leg. Stewart missed the rest of the season and underwent several surgeries along with physical therapy. He skipped the preseason testing session at Daytona in January as he prepared for the 2014 season.
Friday at Daytona International Speedway, Stewart climbed back into a racecar for the first time since last August as the series took their first practice laps in preparation for Saturday nights Sprint Unlimited non-points race.
"It felt good," Stewart said after his first practice session. "The great thing is there is zero percentage of pain in the car. That was nice. We will see what it feels like at 9 o'clock tonight, but so far so good. That is better than I was hoping for, honestly. I thought we would have some kind of ache, pain of some kind that would bother us. It was like putting on an old pair of shoes again."
Stewart said getting behind the wheel again brought feelings of both relief and joy.
"I think once we got the relief of knowing we weren't hurting anywhere then it was just joy of being back out there again.," Stewart said. "It didn't feel like I had been gone seven months when we started running. It was today though, every five minutes I was looking at the clock from 3 o'clock on going 'is it 4:30 yet' because I wanted to get dressed at 4:30 and come in. That is a long time to be staring at the clock for an hour and a half. That is small compared to the seven months."
Perhaps the best part for Stewart was actually being able to climb into a racecar with no problems.
"I didn't fall," Stewart said. " I think that was what everybody was waiting for. If there was ever a time to not screw up it is getting in the car this time. About 400 cameras there so I didn't."
Stewart added that getting back into a racecar and turning laps brought a great sense of relief.
"Especially not having any pain afterwards and not having any pain driving that is a big weight off our shoulders," Stewart said. "It's the only thing we couldn't answer to you guys was what is it going to feel like after being in a car. Like I said unless after adrenaline wears off tonight at 9 o'clock I start getting sore it feels really good, much better than I thought it was going to be."
Stewart was 10th out of 18 cars in the first practice, and 9th in the final practice.

Sample Preparation
About Bruker
The article describes a simple screening method for Pyrethoid insecticides in sediment samples. Electron impact ionization along with MS/MS in combination with programmed temperature vaporization injection (PTV) were used in order to obtain high specificity and low limits of detection. Pyrethroids are synthetic chemical insecticides having chemical structures that have been adapted from the chemical structures of the pyrethrins.
A modification has been made to the pyrethoids in order to improve their stability in sunlight. They are poisonous to aquatic organisms at very low concentrations, especially to invertebrates that are at the bottom of the food chain. Most of these compounds are found in wastewater outfalls because of ineffective water treatment.
Consequently, State and federal agencies have begun monitoring programs to characterize the extent of contamination in water supplies and their potential impact on aquatic life. Generally, there are no set requirements for minimum detection or reporting levels. The Scion TQ triple quadrupole mass spectrometer in EI mode with PTV injection is ideal for screening sediment extracts at low to sub-part-per-billion concentrations.
Table 1. Experiment Specifications
Table 2. MS/MS Parameters for Pyretroids Insecticides
Calibration standards in hexane were prepared at 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 ppb. In addition, a blank sediment matrix was spiked at concentrations of 0.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, and 200 ppb.
The sample is prepared by adding 5 g copper powder/magnesium sulfate to 20 g wet sediment. The mixture was extracted with 2 x 75ml 50:50 acetone:hexane using a shaker at 185 rpm (2 x15 minutes). The extracts were concentrated to a final volume of 2 mL and cleaned up on Florisil® Sep Pak.
The Scion TQ has an innovative software feature known as Compound Based Scanning (CBS) that was used to easily set up the MRMs required for the analysis. The pyrethroids were found using the CBS software equipped with the Factory Library and were directly downloaded into the scan acquisition method as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Optimized scan information for each compound is downloaded directly from the factory installed library. Bifenthrin MRM transitions are shown here.
Furthermore, the data handling table is automatically created and linked to the scan acquisition method. Hence time is saved as the person need not create any more tables or manage changes to the analytical method. Using MS/MS offered excellent sensitivity and specificity for the analysis. Compounds that were found in the sediment sample spiked at 0.5 ppb are shown in Figure 2. Calibration curves prepared in pure solvent (hexane) and in blank sediment extracts were linear showing no matrix interference from the sediment extract. Figure 3 shows an example calibration curve.
Figure 2. MS/MS for Bifenthrin (top), two epimers of lamda-cyhalothrin (mid), and cyfluthrin isomers (bottom) in the sediment matrix
Figure 3. Calibration curves for Bifenthrin prepared in hexane from 0.1 to 200 ppb (plot at top) and those prepared in a spiked sediment extract (plot at bottom) calibrated from 0.5 ppb to 200 ppb.
PTV injection along with the specificity and sensitivity of MS/MS result in excellent low-level screening of pyrethroids in river and lake sediments. The Scion TQ with Compound Based Scanning helps convenient set-up and management of the pyrethroid MRM parameters. Compound MRM information is directly loaded into the method by choosing them from a factory or user created library. It links the mass spectrometer acquisition table directly with data handling parameters, streamlining the data process.

Jesus' Model Prayer: Your Kingdom Come - Inviting God's reign in your congregation
It may seem odd to suggest we need to invite God's reign into our congregations, but please, think about it for a few moments.
The Book of Acts shows us what our faith should really look like when we assemble together for prayer, praise, worship, fellowship and learning about God's Word and advancing His Kingdom. Do we have the same life, daring and vitality in our congregations? Do we see the life, love and glory of God freely flowing in our midst? Is there any sign of real life confirming the word that is preached or confirming the unity of those we gather together with? Do we only have some religious or denominational form of godliness and refuse to allow, thus denying, the power of God to freely flow amidst us?
Jesus only did that which He saw our Father do. Jesus is our perfect example of how we should conduct ourselves in the world. If we are not doing the same things Jesus Christ did, then we are not following His example. Jesus Christ showed us the will of our Father in the way He lived and taught.
What did Jesus Christ do? He preached that the kingdom of God is at hand. He healed, delivered and set free every person who came to Him. No one who came to Him was sent home in the same condition in which he/she originally arrived in. Everyone who came to Him was saved, healed, delivered and set free; EVERYONE who came to Him. If we are not doing the same things our Lord Jesus Christ did as our perfect example, and getting the same results, then we must ask ourselves, "Are we as individuals, and local congregations, submitted to the rule and reign of God in our lives just as Jesus Christ was?"
When Moses went up to meet with the Lord God Almighty while the congregation waited, what happened that caused Moses to have to veil his face? He walked into the glory of God and God's glory so saturated Moses' face that he had to cover it with a veil when he came out to talk to the Hebrews. When we assemble as a congregation we have our Lord Jesus Christ's Word that, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middle of them." (Matthew18:20)
Since Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8) and our Lord does not change (Malachi 3:6), why is it when we gather to be with God and enter into His presence we do not have the same experience that Moses did, or that those who came to Jesus Christ did? Could it be that like the Hebrews we prefer someone else to spend the time face to face with God while we relegate ourselves to following whatever the "man of God" tells us God said? Could it be that the open display of the power of God is just as unwelcomed today in our congregations as it was in Jesus day by the religious order, and for the same religious reasons?
When God our Father's kingdom truly comes into our lives, the results of His rule and reign will be the same as it has always been because our Father is the same as He has always been. To accept anything less is to accept a religiously derived substitute; having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof.
Will we be like the Israelites and insist upon a "Moses" to enter God's terrible, awesome and holy presence on our behalf? Will we be like the Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes who held on to their man-made traditions as though their traditions were more true and more important than the Word and the power of God? Will we possibly consider pressing in continuously as a congregation to understand the unity, holiness, grace and love of God to the point that our spiritual blinders are finally removed and we finally behold Him face to face?
Do you remember the Aaronic Blessing that was to be spoken over the people?
Numbers 6:24-27
24 The LORD bless you, and keep you:
25 The LORD make his face shine on you, and be gracious to you:
26 The LORD lift up his countenance on you, and give you peace.
27 And they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
The LORD make (cause) His face (presence, light, glory, favor) shine on you (illuminate you) is part of the blessing, and is stated in a similar way two verses later. The LORD lift up His countenance (presence, light, glory; same word as 'face') on you. 'Lift up...on' expressed the idea of God picking up His presence, light and glory and placing it upon the people of the congregation.
Bottom line, do we want God to cause His glory, light and favor to illuminate us, causing our faces to physically radiate the light, presence and glory of God even after we've come away from the tent of meeting (the assembly of the congregation gathered together to meet face to face with God) so that people will plainly see the result of being in God's presence? Do we truly desire in our hearts to allow Holy Spirit cause us to move in the same way our Lord Jesus Christ did while He walked this earth as the Son of Man? If we do, then we will stop piddling around in our religious ways and playing church, and we will start seeking the absolute rule and reign of our Father who is presently in our midst every time we gather together to honor Him.
Once we allow God's rule and reign to be fully established in our congregation it will be impossible for the kingdom of darkness to stand before us; our faces actually glowing from exposure to the glory of God, and our hearts ministering to all who come to us the same way our Lord Jesus Christ did.
Scripture is given in the American King James Version.

Rated: 9/10
Finally, we see some significant development this volume. Shin asks Chae Kyeong to go on a vacation and even dares to propose to her:
Would you marry me (again)? Aw... that's so sweet but Chae Kyeong, only stunned couldn't give Shin his answer. Poor Shin.
Meanwhile, King Lee (finally) takes the initiative to encourage The Crown Prince to improve his relationship with Chae Kyeong to, in his words,
a higher level. We can take this to mean a journey to smut but we must wait for volume 23 to be released by m&c! to be sure.
As usual there's no essential silliness involving retainers Kasim Gong, Dayang Han and Yul and Mi-Ru.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the development of the plot. A message to this Royal Couple: please make a cute baby.

Fans are anxiously awaiting the return of "The Walking Dead" this fall, and with it comes speculation as to what season five of the hit zombie drama will hold. Thursday, Entertainment Wise shares that even though filming will begin soon for the upcoming season, Chandler Riggs, who plays Carl Grimes, has no idea what is in store for his character because he hasn't seen scripts yet.
While everyone hopes to survive the season, it's not likely, and even Rob Kirkman and Scott Gimple, the showrunner, says that the tone of season five is going to be much different and more practical than even the end of season four which was all about survival. There will be a shift in location, a shift in the overall tone of the show, and the overall feeling of the season will be very intense.
While cast members await their scripts, one feeling is the same throughout, everyone wants to know if they are doing okay and if they have survived long enough to get a script. While Daryl Dixon is a fan favorite, as well as a favorite of creator, Rob Kirkman, Norman Reedus doesn't feel that's enough to keep him safe on the show. This might be true as nobody is safe on this show, even children, which was evident last season when both Lizzy and Mika were killed off.
The exception in this coming season, at least for the first half of the show, at least, is likely Daryl as it has been revealed earlier that he will be getting his romantic tryst this season. Many fans are hoping that it will be with Beth once (or if) she returns. With a more intense season, and new locations, likely as the group makes their way to Washington D.C., it is likely that there will be more walkers, and fans have learned, more cast coming.
"The Walking Dead" will return for season five in October. Even if the show will be more intense, fans are anxiously awaiting it's return.

promethazine - oral, Phenergan (cont.)
USES: See also Warning section.Promethazine is used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting related to certain conditions (such as before/after surgery, motion sickness). It is also used to treat allergy symptoms such as rash, itching, and runny nose. It may be used to help you feel sleepy/relaxed before and after surgery or to help certain narcotic pain relievers (such as meperidine) work better. It may also be used for a short time to treat a runny nose due to the common cold.Promethazine is an antihistamine and works by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine) that your body makes during an allergic reaction. Its other effects (such as anti-nausea, calming, pain relief) may work by affecting other natural substances (such as acetylcholine) and by acting directly on certain parts of the brain.Cough-and-cold products have not been shown to be safe or effective in children younger than 6 years. Therefore, do not use this product to treat cold symptoms in children younger than 6 years unless specifically directed by the doctor. Some products (such as long-acting tablets/capsules) are not recommended for use in children younger than 12 years. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details about using your product safely.These products do not cure or shorten the length of the common cold and may cause serious side effects. To decrease the risk for serious side effects, carefully follow all dosage directions. Do not give other cough-and-cold medication that might contain the same or similar ingredients (see also Drug Interactions section). Ask the doctor or pharmacist about other ways to relieve cough and cold symptoms (such as drinking enough fluids, using a humidifier or saline nose drops/spray).

Maurice Chevalier Movies and Career Information
Sep 12, 1888
Sep 12, 1888
Maurice Auguste Chevalier was a French actor, Cabaret singer and entertainer. He is perhaps best known for his signature songs, including Louise, Mimi, Valentine, and Thank Heaven for Little Girls and for his films, including The Love Parade and The Big Pond. His trademark attire was a boater hat, which he always wore on stage with a tuxedo. Chevalier was born in Paris. He made his name as a star of musical comedy, appearing in public as a singer and dancer at an early age before working in four menial jobs as a teenager. In 1909, he became the partner of the biggest female star in France at the time, Fréhel. Although their relationship was brief, she secured him his first major engagement, as a mimic and a singer in l'Alcazar in Marseille, for which he received critical acclaim by French theatre critics. In 1917, he discovered jazz and ragtime and went to London, where he found new success at the Palace Theatre. After this, he toured the United States, where he met the American composers George Gershwin and Irving Berlin and brought Dédé to Broadway in 1922. He also developed an interest in acting, and had success in the operetta Dédé.

book plea!!
I am 14 and I love to read however, I am a very high level reader and my mother is very protective over what books I read. I am not allowed to read anything with romance in it and prefferably not with juvenile delinquints drinking or drugs. I can read adult books but they cannot have any of the things from above in them. PLEASE SEND RECOMMENDATIONS!!
I took over my mom's account for a minute: allow me to introduce myself a little; I'm on my third year in college and still really enjoy reading fiction and fantasy. I don't honestly know how clean you need it to be, so I'll start with the really clean stuff. I would recommend:
-the Septimus Heap books,
-the tales of the Round Table, by Gerald Morris (has romance, but not sex),
-the Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett,
~any books by
-Patricia C Wrede,
-Cornelia Funke
-Vivian Vande Velde,
-Diane Duane (her "So You Want to be a Wizard series in particular)
-Clare Dunkle (I think, she also has romance, but no seduction scenes. If it gets weird, then stop)
-Garth Nix, especially Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen
-Brian Jacques' Redwall series (I know it's in the children's section, but it's pretty good).
-Patricia McKillip (at least Od's Magic, I don't know about the rest of her books)
Those are the books I can recommend off the top of my head.
A pretty good resource is
They won't tell you how clean the book is, but you can always ask just how inappropriate a book is after you discover it's existence.
How about Jan Karon's Mitford Series. They are clean? I also was thinking about the Redwall books, as another poster listed. Focus on the Family also has good clean books.
I am with you on having problems finding clean and appropriate advanced books... it is hard. I have a 7 year old who is reading fifth and sixth grade reading level books, and my background is in teaching, and I still have to hunt for books and be selective.
Good luck to you.

Martin Sheen is still around in his elderly years and remains a very talented guy. Sheen will be starring in Netflix's Jane Fonda-Lily Tomlin comedy reported The Hollywood Reporter on June 18, 2014. Sheen has joined the 13-episode comedy "Grace and Frankie" starring Fonda and Tomlin.
In this story the lives of Grace, played by Fonda, and Frankie, played by Tomlin, are turned inside out when their husbands make an announcement that they are in love with each other and are planning to get married. Grace and Frankie than find their lives becoming more and more intertwined as they become friends working to help each other out with this mess. The theme is really very amusing.
"Grace and Frankie" was written and created by "Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman and Howard J. Morris. It is set for a 2015 debut. Sheen, who is at his best in "Grace and Frankie," recently appeared in his son Charlie Sheen's FX comedy "Anger Management." Sheen also received great reviews for his role in Aaron Sorkin's White House drama "The West Wing" for his lead role as President Bartlet.
In "Grace and Frankie" Sheen will play Robert, who is the husband of Fonda's onscreen character Grace, reports the BBC. Tomlin and Fonda reunite in this comedy series more than 30 years after the movie "Nine To Five." At 73 years old Sheen is still coming on strong. He is remembered for his brilliant performances earlier in his career in "Apocalypse Now" and "Gettysburg." Sheen makes it appear that it may be a good idea to suggest to your kids that there is often a very promising career in the entertainment industry if you want it enough and if you go for it.

Im entitled to unemployment, right?
My job is moving my hours from morning hours to afternoon hours after I leave. I cant work afternoons. Mornings work because DS is in school and Im not paying for daycare so I can work part time. I work in a Drs office and they are really slow in the mornings so they dont need me, they straight up told me that they cant afford to have me there in the mornings. Essentially they are laying me off.
I was about 90% sure that I wasnt going to be going back anyway, but looks like the choice is being made for me which is fine.
Im sure this varies from state to state but here in the state in CA you are entitled to your exact job/position/hours for up to 4 months while on maternity leave. Since my hours are no longer going to be available does this mean I get unemployment? (secretly doing the happy dance if it does)

Camas baseball coach Joe Hallead suddenly found himself to be incredibly unpopular.
His team had just beaten defending state champion O'Dea of Seattle to advance to the 3A state final four, and yet, he couldn't find one player to celebrate with him.
"I was the only one in the dog pile," said Hallead, whose undefeated Papermakers will take on Shorewood of Shoreline in Friday's state semifinal at Cheney Stadium in Tacoma. "The guys were like 'Coach, we're not going to dog pile. Act like you've been there before.' "
If there is one difference between this year's Papermakers and last year's it's that lack of contentment for just being there.
Hallead thinks the bright lights of the 2010 title game may have caused Camas to squint a little bit, but that only a championship will satisfy this season's squad.
To attain that goal, however, the Papermakers — ranked No. 1 in the state by the Seattle Times — can't take an inning off.
Hoping to ensure that they don't, Hallead will start Kurt Yinger at pitcher today. In 65 innings this year, the UC Santa Barbara-bound senior is 10-0 with an earned run average of 0.70 and 87 strikeouts. He is also hitting .521 with 24 RBI.
Shorewood is led by Trevor Mitsui, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound slugger who is headed to the University of Washington next year.
Mistui has 13 home runs and a .712 batting average. With his 42 walks this season, he has an on-base percentage of .856. In other words, he makes an out a little more than once every 10 trips to the plate.
And given Shorewood's talent on the mound, Yinger might need a little help.
That's where Austin Barr comes in. The catcher is hitting .507 with eight home runs in just 69 at-bats. He also has walked 25 times and owns a slugging average of 1.043 — but his greatest strength, Hallead says, is his ability to catch Yinger and fellow pitcher Zach Carter.
Win or lose, Carter will most likely start on the mound Saturday, when Camas (25-0) faces either Mt Si or Kamiakin in the third-place game or championship. Carter is 9-0 with a 1.69 ERA.
Other key players for the Papermakers include shortstop Logan Grindy, and outfielder Nate Culver, who is hitting .429 with 23 runs this year.
Some are of the philosophy that a loss can nurture a team, or at least knock it down a peg and jump start its focus.
Camas' winning streak has been more than impressive, but does Hallead think his team could have benefited from a defeat or two?
"No. I think you ever go on the field accepting a loss, you shouldn't be going on the field," he said. "We want to win every game."r

The names issues started me thinking again on something I always wondered about. I am really not trying to start Drama because I hate it, but I am so curious as the following questions, I feel people will give me a more truthful answer over the Internet than I get in person.
Why do people not want to give there children Muslim names. Is it because of a pronunciation problem or do they not want there children to be identified as Muslims?
Why do some women not wear hijab? Is it because you also do not want to be identified as a Muslim? If you don't wear hijab how do you make salat throughout the day or do you just not make it regularly.
Do others know you are muslim or is it something like "Don't ask, Don't tell".
Mind you I don't mind being identified as Muslim it can sometimes be trying but at other times enlightening for non Muslims. I understand that being an African American I may be more use to racism than most after all I can't change my skin color. I am Muslim so people can choose to accept me Hijab and all or not at all.
I have been subjected to religious profiling due to my hijab but I figured if it wasn't my hijab it would be my skin color, if it wasn't my skin color it would be something else, hence I don't give a dang what others think.
Please lets not start an all out War on each other.


text: May 24, 2013 20:06 Zone changes proposed for four EBRP schools Zone changes proposed for four EBRP schools Advocate file photo by APRIL BUFFINGTON -- New state law states that students cannot be dropped off or picked up at a location that requires them to cross a road or highway. Charles Lussier| Advocate staff writer Comments An estimated 129 students are likely to change schools in August as a result of proposed attendance zone changes at four public elementary schools in Baton Rouge. The East Baton Rouge Parish School Board is set to vote on the proposed changes at Audubon, LaBelle Aire, Twin Oaks and Wedgewood elementary schools when it meets at 5 p.m. Thursday. Carlos Sam, associate superintendent for school leadership, said the changes are driven by the need to limit overcrowding at Audubon Elementary, help fill empty seats at LaBelle Aire, and to improve the feeder patterns for all four schools. When the same item came up at a May 2 committee meeting, all 11 board members recommended moving forward with the zone changes. Board member Jill Dyason, who often pays close attention to attendance zone changes, said she found the proposed changes to these four schools "quite logical," noting that they followed major natural boundaries and roads. "I support when we bring kids closer to their homes, and this looks like it's doing that," Dyason said. The process for the proposed zone shifts is much different from the last time the school system adjusted zones. On March 21, the School Board reconfigured several schools but did not, as it had in the past, approve the resulting attendance zone maps. A couple of members said they were surprised when reassignment notices were mailed out to students days later. The shifts ranged from more than 100 students at Mayfair Middle to about 300 students at Delmont Elementary. At the May 2 "committee of the whole" meeting, Sam told board members that school officials have already presented the proposed new attendance zones for Audubon, LaBelle Aire, Twin Oaks and Wedgewood elementary schools to many of those affected. "We've had some conversations with some parents and principals, and all agree this makes sense," Sam said. LaBelle Aire, which would get 72 new students from Twin Oaks elementary, was once a center for students for whom English is not their first language. The school now has about 550 students, fewer than when that program was disbanded two years ago. As recently as 2008, the school had almost 800 students. About $5.4 million of construction work is being done at LaBelle Aire. The work includes adding four new classrooms. "This gives us a chance to repopulate this school at a proper level," Sam told the board. To replace students it is losing to LaBelle Aire, Twin Oaks is receiving an estimated 34 students from Audubon and 23 students from Wedgewood. Sam said Audubon, which had 581 students enrolled on Oct. 1, will gain some space as a result of the shift. "This relieves us of some overcrowding, particularly at Audubon Elementary School, especially in certain grades," he said. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

Suppose we have surjective group morphisms $$f: \mathbb{Z}^n\rightarrow A \qquad g:\mathbb{Z}^n\rightarrow A.$$
How do I construct a group isomorphism $\alpha:\mathbb{Z}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^n$ such that $g=f \circ \alpha$ ?
Suppose we have surjective group morphisms $$f: \mathbb{Z}^n\rightarrow A \qquad g:\mathbb{Z}^n\rightarrow A.$$
How do I construct a group isomorphism $\alpha:\mathbb{Z}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}^n$ such that $g=f \circ \alpha$ ?
Apparently I don't have the privilege of adding a comment yet, but I would like to point out that Dylan's answer is correct since a homomorphism on a free abelian group is determined by where it sends the basis. HOWEVER the original problem has no general solution since in general $\alpha$ will not be an isomorphism.
For example, if $n=1$, $A=\mathbb{Z}/5\mathbb{Z}$, $f(1)=[1]$ and $g(1)=[2]$ (surjective since $2$ and $5$ are coprime), then there is no isomorphism $\alpha:\mathbb{Z}\rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ such that $g=f\circ\alpha$
This was way too long for a comment so I'm posting this here. Don't consider this as a complete answer ; I am saying no such thing. I am only saying that the problem is not as general as it seems.
$f : \mathbb Z^n \to A$ is surjective hence $\mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} \, f \cong A$. For the same reasons, $\mathbb Z^n/ \mathrm{Ker} \, g \cong A$, hence $$ \mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} \, f \cong \mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} \, g. $$ Now all this being said, we have the following commutative diagram : $$ \begin{matrix} \mathbb Z^n & \overset{\alpha}{\longleftarrow} & \mathbb Z^n \\\ \downarrow f & & \downarrow g \\\ \mathbb Z^n/ \mathrm{Ker} f & \overset{\varphi_1^{-1} \circ i \circ \varphi_2}{\longleftarrow}& \mathbb Z^n/ \mathrm{Ker} g \\\ \downarrow \varphi_1 & & \downarrow \varphi_2 \\\ A & \overset{i}{\longleftarrow} & A \\\ \end{matrix} $$ where $\varphi_1$, $\varphi_2$ are isomorphisms and $i$ is the inclusion map. The question is whether $\alpha$ fits in there as an isomorphism (i.e. does it exist). Well, we can reduce ourselves to the study of the map $\psi = i \circ \varphi_2 \circ g$ and look at the diagram $$ \begin{matrix} \mathbb Z^n & \overset{\psi}{\longrightarrow} & A \\\ & & \uparrow \varphi_1 \\\ & & \mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} f\\\ \end{matrix} $$ and ask ourselves if this diagram commutes. Since $\varphi_1$ is an isomorphism it is injective and $\psi$ is surjective, therefore we can complete this diagram with a unique morphism $\Phi$ such that $\psi = \varphi_1 \circ \Phi$. Now I don't know how to TeX this but that gives us $\Phi$ going from the topright $\mathbb Z^n$ to the middle left $\mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} f$, and I've shown that this map is unique. All we need to do now is complete the diagram $$ \begin{matrix} \mathbb Z^n & \overset{\Phi}{\longrightarrow} & \mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} f \\\ & & \uparrow f \\\ & & \mathbb Z^n \\\ \end{matrix} $$ so that in other words, I've reduced the problem for arbitrary $A$ to the problem of dealing with some quotient of $\mathbb Z^n$ ; given $f : \mathbb Z^n \to \mathbb Z^n$ and $\Phi : \mathbb Z^n \to \mathbb Z^n / \mathrm{Ker} f$, one completes this diagram if and only if one completes the diagram above for arbitrary $f$,$g$. Since there is no obvious reason why this diagram should be completed I expect counter examples.

Mazeika, Arturas; Böhlen, Michael H (2006). Cleansing databases of misspelled proper nouns. In: CleanDB 2006, Seoul, Korea, 11 September 2006 - 11 September 2006.
|Accepted Version
The paper presents a data cleansing technique for string databases. We propose and evaluate an algorithm that identifies a group of strings that consists of (multiple) occurrences of a correctly spelled string plus nearby misspelled strings. All strings in a group are replaced by the most frequent string of this group. Our method targets proper noun databases, including names and addresses, which are not handled by dictionaries. At the technical level we give an efficient solution for computing the center of a group of strings and determine the border of the group. We use inverse strings together with sampling to efficiently identify and cleanse a database. The experimental evaluation shows that for proper nouns the center calculation and border detection algorithms are robust and even very small sample sizes yield good results.

A ninja photo booth, Dragon pinata, Ninja star decorating station, Find your NInja Name, Ninja throwing star game, obstacle course and Pin the Beard on the Sensei were our activities.
The sweets buffet : Fake sushi (fushi), edamame (pear jelly belly jelly beans), serpent green grapes, gummy worms, etc.
The cupcakes were also homemade and the toppers were from a lego mold bought on etsy. The kids sat on the floor on pillows for cake and ice cream with a covered pallet as the table.

I was happy with site navigation as well as your prices and the information provided about each product. And, you seem to have added a Q & A portion to description which makes it more informative.

Just wanted to let you know we are very happy with our recent purchase of luggage from your company. I got exactly what we were looking for and the price was reasonable. Thank you.
