As St. Patrick's Day approaches, let us pay the noble spud its due respect as part of a well-balanced and health-giving menu.
|Tip: Whenever you can, cook and eat potatoes with their skins on. Not only does the skin contain many vital nutrients, it also contains a generous helping of dietary fiber.
I always remember my Irish grandfather looking down at his plate and plaintively asking in his delightful Irish brogue, "Where are the potatoes?" In his worldview, if potatoes weren't on the plate, it wasn't dinner. Turns out that he was more astute than any of us knew at the time.
Pity the poor potato. It's gotten a terrible rap in recent times, and most undeservedly; it's the oh-so wicked things we heap upon it and beat into it and fry it in that makes it less than its brilliantly nutritious self. Consider these facts: one average potato has a quarter of the daily minimum requirement of vitamin C and 20 percent of the daily value of vitamin B6. It has more potassium than a banana (almost 1 g) and possesses cancer-fighting phenols that rival those found in broccoli and spinach. It's also the No. 1 vegetable crop in the world and the second-most-consumed food in the world, after milk. Hardly an inauspicious profile!
Way Back When
It all began roughly 7,000 years ago on the shores of Lake Titicaca, high in the Andes Mountains in South America. The hunter-gatherer community living there began to cultivate the numerous varieties of wild potatoes that thrived in the rigorous climate, and soon it was their staple crop. In fact, potatoes were central to their worldview—they even measured time by how long it took to cook a pot of potatoes!
By the time of the Incas, the potato was fundamental to the food security of the nation. Alas, the potato could provide no defense against the invading Spaniards in 1532, and the Incan Empire ceased to exist. The only bright note was to be found in the Spaniards' adoption of the potato; they fed it to their sailors at sea, as its vitamin C helped to ward off scurvy. And the Spaniards subsequently introduced the potato to Europe, where it was largely shunned for a few centuries, due to superstition and ignorance.
But by the start of the 1800s, the potato was becoming a staple crop across much of Northern Europe, and especially in Ireland, whose climate was uniquely suited to this delectable tuber. It was, in fact, after the Great Irish Potato Famine of 1845 (caused by a mold disease in the potato crops) that more disease-resistant and productive strains were sought, and the basis for modern commercial production was established. Nowadays, Americans consume an average of 136.5 pounds of potatoes a year—more than a spud a day!
Why We Need Them
The benefits of that 25 percent daily value of vitamin C are well-known, ranging from boosting the immune system to combating cancer to contributing to heart health. Even more impressive are the effects of vitamin B6: its integral role in the nervous system contributes to mood elevation, better sleep, and normal brain function; it's critically important role in methylation (the way we control our genes) leads to increased cardiovascular health, and it is essential for the formation of virtually all new cells in the body.
As if that weren't enough, recent studies have identified numerous phenols and flavonoids in the skin and flesh of potatoes that protect against respiratory problems, cardiovascular disease, and certain cancers. Researchers even found two compounds, quercetin and the rare kukoamines, the latter of which is found elsewhere only in goji berries. Both compounds appear to have blood pressure–lowering potential. Clearly, the potato is a treasure trove of health benefits. Don't miss out—restore the spud to your cupboard!
Bringing It Home
Choose potatoes that are firm, relatively smooth, and free of moisture or dry rot. They should have no "sprouting" on the surface, and if there's a green tinge to the skin, toss 'em back—that's an indicator of the presence of the toxic alkaloid solanine, and it can make you sick. Store in a paper sack (not plastic) in cool dark place (try the back of a closet). Don't store them in the fridge, as the starch will turn to sugar, resulting in an unpleasant taste. Properly stored, they will last for several weeks. Use them regularly!

- Ramping Up Rapid Re-Housing Series
Youth - Overview
|About 50,000 youth in the U.S. sleep on the street for six months or more. Homeless youth face unique developmental challenges and vulnerability.
It's not always easy to identify youth on the streets through typical counts of unsheltered people experiencing homelessness. Homeless youth are less likely to spend time in the same places as homeless people who are in an older age range. They are often less willing to disclose that they're experiencing homelessness or may not even identify as homeless. They also may work harder to try to blend in with peers who aren't homeless.
For the first time in 2013, the Department of Housing and Urban Development called for communities to conduct a youth-inclusive count that would include unaccompanied homeless youth, up to 24-years-old. According to Part 1 of HUD's 2015 Annual Homeless Assessment Report, 36,907 unaccompanied youth were homeless on a single night in 2015, 87 percent of whom were between the ages of 18 to 24. Given the difficulty of counting homeless youth, this estimate is likely an undercount.
The Alliance estimates that during a year approximately 550,000 unaccompanied, single youth and young adults up to age 24 experience a homelessness episode of longer than one week. Approximately 380,000 of those youth are under the age of 18. While these are rough estimate made using imperfect information, it is a good starting point from which communities and the federal government can begin to scale resources and interventions.
To learn more about the Alliance's analysis of the available data on homeless youth, read An Emerging Framework for Ending Unaccompanied Youth Homelessness.
While there are evaluations of programs to assist homeless youth, there is very little research comparing interventions and none examining how different interventions address the issues of the different subpopulations. Nevertheless, communities have reasonable evidence to increase support to family intervention efforts and to target existing housing programs to youth with the highest needs.
Ultimately, better, more accurate data must be collected on the number of youth that experience homelessness as well as the effective interventions to end homelessness for youth. Currently, only approximately 50,000 youth per year are served by targeted homeless youth programs. Clearly this falls far short of demand and more resources are needed to respond adequately to youth homelessness and communities should include youth in their long-term strategic planning efforts to end homelessness for all populations. Communities should work to:

Does anyone know of an online resource that might have rosters for the CPBL and the old Taiwan Major League during the 1990s? I am trying to assemble checklists for some of the baseball card sets from Taiwain, but the player names are almost always in Chinese. If I had rosters to work with, I could probably get what I need with Google Translate to be able to work out the names.
And just out of curiosity, why is it that every other countrys' baseball culture seems to put more importance on players uniform numbers than the MLB? It seems EVERY piece of merchandise I see from other countries ties the player to his uniform number. Jersey's aside, you'd be hard pressed to find any American baseball merchandise that makes reference to uniform numbers, least of all baseball cards.

Comfortable and lightweight
Great tank top. The fabric is stretchy, but not too tight. Wore it hiking, camping and on the boat. It dries quickly. Great open back which adds some flair and breathability. I did return a medium for a small because the medium fit too large. Small fits great! Love the bright color.Kaitlyn Watts | July 5, 2016
My new favorite tank
Very lightweight and breathable. It has stretch, but does not stick to my skin when I am hot and sweaty. The ribbed fabric creates such a nice, lightweight and breathable effect. I like the razorback with the unique keyhole, which is directly where my back gets the sweatiest. The medium fits perfectly with just enough length and width for a comfortable fit. I thought the hibiscus color was going to be more red, but it's much more bright than I expected, and I actually love it! This is my new go-to tee for anything outdoors!Anni Graham | April 9, 2016

Installing twin double hung in 2nd story
Hi All,
Installing a new twin double hung in my 2nd story and had alot of trouble today. The window is very heavy and I'm looking for an alternative install idea. It's vinyl Simonton. Someone suggested removing the glass and getting the frame into the opening, nailing one corner, then put the glass back in before level and plumb. Wondering if there is anything wrong with this technique? Otherwise, I will have to rent equipment to lift the window and budget is tiiiiight. Let me know what you think.
what does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
how high?
199 Attachment(s)
Absolutely remove the sashes.
Take the window inside the house and hand it out from the inside instead of up the ladder.
Most importantly have a worthy helper, don't even try if you're not confident.
Going to the hospital with a broken back will not save you money.
With the sashes out, the frame is a breeze to handle. Second the helper suggestion also.
As Ron, and the other Ron said.
"nailing one corner, then put the glass back in before level and plumb." ------- Nail the frame plumb and level --- then put the sashes back in. Mine tip-in and remove inside for cleaning anyway....
Hint- non-expanding foam.
Be safe, Gary
Thanks for all help!
However, I overlooked the one about "worthy helper". I ended up with a "know it all" with an "I'll get that dam window in" attitude. BIG MISTAKE! I couldn't stop him fast enough. He tried slamming the window into place and knocked the frame out of square. What the :censored: is a matter with people?? Made a call to the distributor and fortunately they will send a new frame out. Thank GOD! Many many lessons learned on my 1st home improvement project.
Turns out I was mistaken about him knocking the window out of square. Your comment about the lack of rigidness is absolutley spot on! The problem we encountered turned out to be the metal clips on the side of the sashes. They are used to tilt the window in and out for cleaning. But little did we know, they actually have a lip on them that holds the window frame in square (before the nail fin is secured). So we just had to flex the vinyl frame in on the sides and then slide in the sash locking the frame in square.
I will NEVER EVER forget that detail as long as I live! It cost us hours trying to figure out. :wallbash:

Thyroid Problems, Vitamin D, and Blood Pressure
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Listen to Byron Explain
Update Required To play the media you will need to either update your browser to a recent version or update your Flash plugin.
Hypothyroid and subclinical hypothyroid have been associated with elevation in blood pressure. New research indicates that a lack of vitamin D may be a key factor in blood pressure elevation. The data suggests that people with elevating blood pressure should optimize their vitamin D levels as a key factor in blood pressure management.
Poor thyroid function induces multiple stressful changes to your circulatory system that make it harder to function and more likely that blood pressure will elevate. Some of those changes directly impact your kidneys, and there is now evidence linking salt sensitivity to poor thyroid function.
Your kidneys, operating in a state of metabolic stress, respond to stimulation. Some of this stimulation is from adrenaline, which is often released in higher amounts by those who are overweight (adrenaline tries to break down fat, but irritates the kidneys). In the sluggish thyroid state adrenaline is often over-released in an effort to compensate for one's body being stuck in hibernation mode. The kidneys respond to adrenaline by making excessive renin, which drives up blood pressure.
It has now been discovered that the renin gene is controlled by vitamin D. If vitamin D is lacking it is like losing parental control, renin can now run wild and cause sustained elevation in blood pressure.
I have previously reported that a lack of vitamin D leads to excessive thyroid inflammation and thyroid autoimmunity.
Thus, there are several good reasons why people with any type of thyroid issue should have their vitamin D levels checked and should strive for optimal vitamin D levels, not just somewhere towards the bottom of the normal range. While vitamin D may not be a direct regulator of thyroid hormone, it appears that it puts the lid on how out-of-whack a stressed thyroid can become, as well as helps prevent an undesirable elevation in blood pressure.
Attention to this issue is especially important in winter months when cold temperatures pose a stress of their own to thyroid function and the lack of sun typically leads to low vitamin D levels. There are good reasons more cardiovascular events occur in the winter months. Optimizing vitamin D levels along with optimizing thyroid function will directly benefit your cardiovascular well-being.

Hey, I want to build a powerful Gaming PC for less than £1100 and I would like someone to look at the parts that I have chose. I used PCPartPicker to choose my parts, and my build list can be found here.
I havent added an OS because I want to download a Windows 7 64 Bit ISO of the internet, then put in a license key that I will buy. However, I do want an OEM version of the OS. Is It possible to buy an OEM License on its own, or does the OEM version only come on a disc?
Thanks :)

ANN ARBOR --- For centuries people have been fascinated by enormous columnar rock formations like the Devil's Postpile in California. The Celts, for example, were convinced that Giant's Causeway, in Northern Ireland, was the work of the famous giant, Finn McCool. Later, in 1693, the Philosophical Society of London heard a report from an expedition to the site, concluding that the mysterious rock formation was in fact the result of natural causes, though the authors declined to speculate on precisely which ones were involved. Modern scientists know that, in fact, the great columns of basalt were formed by cooling lava, but the actual process that produced their very regular polygonal shapes has never been completely understood.
A pair of physicists, working on the cusp between physics and geology, have developed an explanation for these splendid formations. Alberto G. Rojo of the University of Michigan and Eduardo A. Jagla of the Centro Atómico Bariloche in Argentina postulate that as the lava cooled, fractures formed at the surface and moved downward. At the top the fracture pattern looked like the familiar arrangement that we see in drying mud or in paint---a random pattern of curved lines meeting at 90-degree angles. But as the fractures moved downward they began to take the path of least resistance. The configuration that minimizes the energy required to penetrate the interior turns out to be quasi-hexagonal---a regular pattern of hexagons, pentagons, and heptagons, as in the Giant's Causeway. The results of their research will appear in the Jan. 1, 2002, issue of the American Physical Society journal, Physical Review E.
The researchers support their theory with a computer model of the process, along with a simple cornstarch experiment that anyone can do at home. Mix equal amounts of cornstarch and water and spread the mixture 1-2 cm thick on a flat, glass-bottomed surface, like a Pyrex pie-plate. After a few hours, as the mixture dries, it will start fracturing. First a series of large cracks will form from top to bottom. Then a small, irregular array of fractures will be seen at the top surface. But after a few days, when you turn the plate over, you will see that by the time they have reached the bottom, the small cracks have formed a patchwork, quasi-hexagonal pattern. Keeping the dish warm (under a 40W light bulb, for instance) helps the process along.
"Many scientists believe that the cutting edge of physics exists only at the very small scale (string theory, for example) or the very large (cosmology and astrophysics)," Rojo says. "I disagree. Many fundamental open questions and mysteries still remain at the scale of our everyday experience. Patterns, both in inanimate and in living natural objects represent just one of those questions."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo baseball team managed to keep the game close throughout, but the visiting bats proved too much as the Lions fell to No. 6 Tampa 11-3 in non-conference action from Thomas B. Southard Stadium on a comfortable Wednesday evening.
After a scoreless first inning, the Spartans jumped on Saint Leo starting pitcher Henry Johnson in the second as two-straight hits to open the frame put men at second and third with no outs. Catcher Mike Blanke advanced the game's first run home when he hit a sacrifice fly to right. The Spartans' second run of the inning would second with a two-out single by leadoff hitter Correy Figueroa.
The deciding inning for the Lions turned out to be the third as the visitors, holding a 2-0 lead, blasted two multi-run homers to jump out to a 7-0 lead and gain full control of the game. During the inning Tampa rightfielder Larry Walicki roped a 1-1 pitch over the right-centerfield wall for a three-run round tripper. Later in the inning, centerfielder Dylan Brown would connect on the first pitch of the at-bat for a two-run shot to left.
The Lions would finally plate a run in the fourth inning when Eugene Garnett Jr. led off with a double to right center. He would make it around to score when Ware Hart pushed an RBI single into left field.
After a two-run sixth, the Lions had cut the Tampa lead to just 8-3 as the game headed into the final three frames, but the visiting Spartans would post a three run ninth inning to keep the Lions from trying to put together a last at-bat rally.
The Spartans would get nine of their 11 runs on the long ball as UT hit four homers on the evening, including two three-run blasts.
Hart would go 1-for-4 as he posted two RBI in the Lions' seven-hit evening.
H. Johnson (3-1) would be the pitcher of record as he saw his first loss of the season in a rotation that would see five Lions toe the rubber.
Saint Leo will remain home as they welcome back the Barry Buccaneers for a weekend Sunshine State Conference series beginning on Friday night. The Lions and Bucs will get underway with first pitch scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Friday night at Thomas B. Southard Stadium on the Saint Leo campus.

myTo-Dos with Email Support
By doapp, inc
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
myTo-Dos by DoApp is the perfect tool for today's busy information worker. Never again forget a to-do for the day, whether it be be personal, family, or work-related. Enter as many items as you like, by date and time range -- even enter things you want to remember weeks and months ahead, if you wish!
You can organize items by category (work, personal, family, volunteer, etc), and set a priority level for each item. The "myTo-Dos" app works just like your built-in iPhone Calendar, so you can add to and check your to-do items in the same way you're used to using your calendar throughout the day. Nothing new to learn!
But the best part of all? You have the option of emailing any of your to-do list items to whomever you want -- to your spouse, a friend, a coworker, your boss, anyone. It's a great way to share an item or load-balance your schedule -- say, when you can't pick up the kids this afternoon, and can just email that to-do item, with the pickup address, to your spouse. Or ask a colleague to make an important customer call for you when a meeting conflict suddenly comes up. The app lets you scroll up and down your list of to-dos at any time to assess your backlog of things to remember. Then choose which items to delete as done, or decide if you want to pass along any of them to someone else by email, with simply a click. "myTo-Dos" makes life easier!
COMING SOON (waiting for approval)
Enhanced email including additional fields in email text. Also includes fixes, code updates, and performance improvements for large files.
What's New in Version 1.2
Updates for national language support and international date support.

Nice and simple, but needs work
Of the free todo apps available, this is my choice. When I open a todo app, I don't want to have to navigate through a bunch of submenus. Just show me the list. I also want to able to select a due date for my tasks. Lastly, I want an inidicator on the dashboard icon telling me how many tasks I have pending. Without that reminder, I wouldn't remember that I have pending tasks (if I could remember, I probably wouldn't need a task organizer). There are other task organizers available that have one of two of these features, but none of the free apps have all three features. I would improve this app by jazzing up its rather simple interface. It looks very generic. Also, some people like to check off tasks, but still be able to see them. With this app, you check off a task by deleting it. This app also allows you categorize your tasks, but the categories are hard set and can't be edited. Also, the Delete button appears over the priority. Not really a big deal, but makes the interface look sloppy.
all my to dos disappeared with the latest iOS update!
I have been using this ap for some time. Well, I just went to use the ap for the 1st time since I installed iOS 5. I could see the little number 12 that meant I have 12 to dos (some were long lists including a shopping list.) The ap opened to a totally blank page and poof, all my reminders: gone! Now when I close the ap the number of reminders is gone and it's like I have never used the ap. I guess that makes this a good time to delete it from my phone! Beware and make sure if you use this: to email backups of everything to yourself! I'm so bummed!
Getting there...
I like the latest update since it adds the number of 'to-dos' to the standby screen, however it's still missing just a few things... 1) 'done' task, not necessarily delete. 2) being able to add the time to your task. you may have 4 things to do at different points in the day. would be nice to have an alarm like function associated with them. 3) have the number on the stand-by screen be to-dos for that day, not tomorrow, yesterday, or any other day. Still great for what it is!

Thyroid Problems Double Women's Alzheimer Risk
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
This study used healthy men and women who did not have clinical thyroid problems at the start of the study. Thyroid scores1 were analyzed based on their trend, meaning it flagged individuals with functional thyroid problems. The study tracked 1864 men and women an average of 12.7 years. It found that women, but not men, who were in the sluggish thyroid category had more than double the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
This finding is rather significant as it suggests that even a slightly impaired function of thyroid hormone can really take its toll on mental function as the years go buy – speeding the rate of cognitive decline. More evidence that keeping your thyroid in tip top working order is a really good idea – especially for women.

Lawyer: Restaurant had other chemical burn
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The attorney for a woman who nearly died after unknowingly drinking tea laced with a chemical cleaning compound at a Utah restaurant said Thursday an employee at the eatery burned herself a month earlier on the same substance.
Family lawyer Paxton Guymon's comments came at a news conference that also was attended by the burned woman's husband, who said she is recovering but suffering from nightmares as she relives the incident.
Guymon said he learned about the previous burn during his investigation into what led to the tea incident at Dickey's Barbecue in South Jordan, a Salt Lake City suburb.
He said the Dickey's employee burned her tongue July 5 after she stuck her finger in a sugar container to test if it had any of the chemical cleaner. She then licked her finger.
The worker's tongue started bleeding and blisters formed, Guymon said. She still is not back to normal.

The admiral in charge of the Navy's drone development says there will be "no new weapons development program" for the drone the Navy wants to operate on an aircraft carrier.
Rear Adm. Matthias Winter told a drone-industry conference on Wednesday that the Navy isn't going to design any new weapons for its future Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike System, or UCLASS. The futuristic drone, which the Navy wants to take off and land from an aircraft carrier at the click of a mouse, will use weapons already in the magazines of aircraft carriers.
In other words, even though the UCLASS will likely be the most advanced drone in the U.S. fleet, its weapons — most likely missiles — are going to be familiar.
Very little has been public about the weapons that the UCLASS will carry. Winter, a senior official with the Navy's aviation branch, indicated that's because little has been decided about them. The demonstration model built for UCLASS, the batwing-shaped X-47B, will "never carry a weapon," Winter said in response to a Danger Room question about UCLASS' weapons systems.
The Navy intends to issue a solicitation to defense companies as early as this year for industry to compete for what UCLASS should actually look like. Winter said the Navy plans on a "dialog" with defense companies about the weapons systems aboard the carrier drone, and how it integrates into the other systems on the drone, rather than a set Navy dictate. "There will be strike capability as part of this solicitation," Winter said, without elaboration. "The specifics will be in the trade space."
Ruling out weapons aboard the X-47B demonstrator raises an issue for UCLASS. Since the demonstrator's tests, currently occurring at Patuxent River, Maryland, are supposed to inform the specifications for UCLASS, how can the Navy learn anything about operating UCLASS' weapons systems and integrating them with the other systems on the drone?
Winter said that the Navy staff is talking with fleet commanders to understand the "best strike capability that the UCLASS should carry."
"I will tell you that it will be something that, from a munitions perspective, it will be something that's already been certified … that is carried in our magazines on our aircraft carriers," Winter continued. "There is no new weapons development program associated with UCLASS, and that strike capability will be organic to the UCLASS system."
The point of the program is hardly just lethality. UCLASS is supposed to provide persistent surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance for an aircraft carrier battle group as well. Testing is underway with the X-47B to understand how the futuristic drone will operate alongside a deck crew used to shepherding human pilots, and alongside manned Navy jets in the air. The Navy also wants a common operating architecture that will allow it to control its multiple drones and robots — including UCLASS and, Winter said, also its Tomahawk missiles that are already kind of drone-like — and seamlessly share data.
By the spring, the Navy intends to launch the X-47B from an aircraft carrier out at sea for the first time. That's meant to keep the Navy on track to getting its follow-on, the UCLASS, onto a carrier and into the fleet by 2019.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Qatar Looks Favorably on Glencore-Xstrata Deal, Premier Says
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, whose country's sovereign fund owns 12 percent of Xstrata Plc (XTA), said the Gulf state looks favorably on Glencore International Plc's (GLEN) sweetened bid for the Swiss miner.
"We're looking in favor of doing something between the two companies," Sheikh Hamad told reporters today in Doha, in response to a question on whether Qatar supports Baar, Switzerland-based Glencore's $32 billion offer.
A recommendation by Qatar may bring Glencore's billionaire Chief Executive Officer Ivan Glasenberg closer to combining the two commodity companies in this year's largest takeover. The transaction, five years in the making, would couple Glencore's trading operations with Xstrata's coal, copper and zinc mines, creating a group with 130,000 employees in more than 40 nations.
Xstrata, the world's largest exporter of coal burned by power stations, on Oct. 1 recommended Glencore's increased offer. Glencore on Sept. 7 raised its bid to 3.05 of its shares for each one in Zug-based Xstrata after Qatar Holding said the original proposal of 2.8 shares made in February was too low.
Shareholders with as little as a combined 16.5 percent of Xstrata would be able to block the deal. U.K. takeover rules prevent Glencore from voting its 34 percent Xstrata stake to decide if the deal proceeds, which requires 75 percent approval.
Xstrata is still to set a new date for the vote, postponed on Sept. 7 when Glencore, the world's biggest publicly traded commodities supplier, increased its offer.
Shares Decline
Xstrata declined 0.2 percent to 952 pence by the close in London trading after gaining as much as 1.2 percent following Hamad's comments. Glencore advanced less than 0.1 percent.
Qatar is considering buying a stake in Morgan Stanley (MS)'s commodities unit, Sheikh Hamad also said. "We need a few weeks to look at the details, but we are looking at it seriously," he said, asked whether Qatar was studying the unit.
Morgan Stanley, the sixth-biggest U.S. bank by assets, held talks this year with private-equity firms including Blackstone Group LP (BX) as it studied options for the unit because banks are barred from some trading under the so-called Volcker rule, people familiar with the company's deliberations said in June.

About Me
Hi, my name is Franco Magnotta and welcome to my page.
I was born in Queens, New York and moved to South Florida when I was still a child. Growing up in both places, I was influenced by the art of graffiti but once I realized this wouldn't lead me very far, I put down the can of spray paint and picked up a pair of shears instead.
Through out high school and even after I entered the military I would cut and style hair for my friends. I liked it so much that I decided to pursue this as my career. I started working at the globally known Yellow Strawberry Hair Salon under hair icons Jesse and Flo Briggs, both who have trained me. Today, I work at one of the best salons in south florida Sullo's salon.
I have a great passion for what I do. I consider hair styling a form of art with the hair as my canvas and the products as my paint. Whether I'm working in the salon, at a photo shoot, a fashion show or doing platform work, I am happy because I'm working in my dream job and doing it well. I look forward to working with more creative minds and expand my work and portfolio.

text: It is easy to say it is wrong for someone to build a house on land which does not belong to them. It is also easy to see why they should be moved and why no amenities should be provided for them. But what is not so easy to see are the circumstances which lead a person to occupy land they do not own. This week Street Beat is taking a look at a few of the people making Rock Hall, St Philip, their home, to give a human face to the situation. The area has been in the Press on more than one occasion as it was said it is along the flight path for airplanes heading into the Grantley Adams international Airport and houses there were a potential threat to air traffic due to light reflecting off the roofs, among other issues. In the past, Government has placed eviction notices on dwellings there, but people continue to live in Rock Hall as, according to them, they have nowhere else to go. This is the situation facing Shelliann Yearwood. A mother of three, she said she was faced with the stark reality of not being able to continue to afford to keep a roof over her children's heads.

Saratoga: Wilkes shooting for Whitney-Travers parlay
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Trainer Ian Wilkes will attempt to complete a rare and very prestigious double, winning both the Grade 1 Whitney and Travers during the same meet, when he sends out Neck ' n Neck in the Grade 1 Travers on Aug. 25.
[Complete coverage of racing at Saratoga: News, PPs, and video]
Wilkes is already halfway home after his Fort Larned upset the Whitney here last weekend. The steadily improving Neck ' n Neck figures to be among the favorites in the Travers off his second-place finish behind Alpha in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy earlier in the session.
Neck 'n Neck worked for the first time since the Jim Dandy over the main track on Wednesday morning, breezing an easy half-mile in 48.47 seconds, completing his final quarter in 23 seconds and change before galloping out five-eighths in 1:01.53 and pulling up six furlongs in 1:14.99.
"Just a maintenance work this morning, let him stretch his legs a little today, and I was happy with him," said Wilkes. "He keeps getting better and better, which he'll need to for the next one."
Wilkes said pulling off the Whitney-Travers double would be very special.
"I don't know how many times it's been done, if ever, but it would mean an awful lot to me to be able to accomplish something like that here this summer," said Wilkes.
Neck n Neck poised to win the Travers, even more if Hansen is entered.
So, the obvious question is, has the Whitney-Travers double ever been pulled off by a trainer? And how many Travers winners have come back to win the Whitney in subsequent years? Could we have a little research and answer to this?
Ian Wilkes is a fine horseman indeed. I do feel the need to comment on the biased opinion of posters here though. Anytime a trainer from the east is mentioned (with the exception of Rick Dutrow) they are always praised,but when trainers from the west are mentioned they are called cheats and accused of all kinds of secret activities(i.e. Baffert, Oneill..etc.)It really does shed a dim light on the intelligence of the comments.
Very nice colt who is more than capable of winning The Travers. He ran agood second to Alpha on a sloppy track in The Jim Dandy. His two prior to that were 100+ beyer victories. And his trainer doing right by the colt. Good horseman and a talented colt.

Add 15 years to your life
"Live fast, die young, and have a good looking corpse†goes the old motto for those advocating the high life. It would seem though that this is an "old†view reflecting a view of life as an "either/or†situation: either you had fun and died early or you lived conservatively and lived longer. That would not seem to the be the modern, or even post-modern, attitude.
Today the attitude to living as evinced in the multitude of anti-ageing seminars and products around the place is "live well, die old, and let your corpse worry about itselfâ€. There is a belief now that you can enjoy life and still live a long time. Apparently you can purchase creams over the internet that will add a good three decades to your life. If you are of the sceptical mindset that doubts such internet claims, even if they are made by a Dr Lifenlengthen, then a new study that shows how to add between eight and fifteen years to your life may be more to your liking.
This study was conducted by a professor of epidemiology at Maastricht University and involved more than 120 000 men and women aged between 55 and 69. The study involved assessing each individual against four lifestyle factors: physical activity, smoking, eating pattern, and body weight. They then also assessed their risk of premature death at any given time.
The researchers found four lifestyle choices that significantly influenced lifespan. Those factors were:
• Not smoking
• Exercising for 30 minutes daily
• Having a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 25
• Eating a Mediterranean style diet (lots of fruit, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish, monounsaturated fat and low intakes of red meat and keeping alcohol to 0.5 to two glasses per day)
People who did none of these things scored "zero†and someone who did them all scored "fourâ€. Among women, someone who scored zero had the same risk of death as someone fifteen years older who scored four. So doing all of these things effectively adds fifteen years to a woman's life. For men the increase was less, being only eight years. For some reason, as yet unexplained, the effects of the Mediterranean diet were more pronounced in women than in men.
Over the course of the ten years of the study, a woman who scored zero was four times more likely to die than a woman who scored four. A man who scored zero was 2.5 times more likely to die than a man who scored four.
Despite the gender differences, it seems fairly clear that not smoking, exercising daily, keeping your weight down, and eating a Mediterranean style diet can give you an extra decade or so in which you can follow your passions or simply annoy a few people, depending on your preference. Either way, it's a decade that is yours to have or to have not.

Did you check to make sure none of the fired primers had a perforation in them? That would be my first guess, my 2nd guess would be rebound from a cylinder not lining 100%
I picked up a new rossi 357 revolver about a month ago. I took it to the range and shot some 38 special through it. Shot great.
So I went to my farm over the weekend to try the 357 AMMO. I bought the Monarch 357 hp 158 grain I believe.
Anyway wow!!!
After shooting 6 shots, on one of the shots (the 2nd round) I felt like I got burned on my left cheek. When walking back to the truck my Dad noticed blood on my face. It was just a little pin hole of some sort caused by something from the gun, powder or bullet fragments? I went ahead and shot about 50 more rounds or so with no more injuries. Any ideas what caused this?
Did you check to make sure none of the fired primers had a perforation in them? That would be my first guess, my 2nd guess would be rebound from a cylinder not lining 100%

Do you think it's safe to shoot or should I have Taurus look at it?
You need to figure that out for yourself, some how you need to. Its your life your fooling around with, if the timing is off, then send it back. Did somebody else shoot it while you were standing off to the side of it? Don't shoot it untill you figure out what is going on.
Here's a revolver checkout procedure that I found a while back.
We get some splash back at an indoor range that I frequent as the target holders are shielded with heavy gauge steel at an angle. Also happens when we shoot steel.
It is difficult to gain the truth from the media in this age. It is a huge puzzle with small pieces. In order to solve it, one must have perseverance, all of the pieces, imagination, time, and most of all...the desire to put the picture together. Our real trouble is that there are far too few people today with the desire to do this.

What it Means to Be a Clinic Escort
Netiya Shiner and Maria Gomez are Shimer students participating in the Shimer Internship/Mentorship (SIM) Program. They regularly post updates about their internship experiences.
This post is from Netiya, who is interning with the Illinois Choice Action Team.
Hello again, Shimer community! Now that I've officially been an intern for more than a day, I figure it's time for an update on what I've been doing with the ICAT.
The first task delegated to me by my ICAT mentor was to start posting on the ICAT twitter page. As a young college student who is fairly savvy with various social media sites, I'm going to be in charge of the ICAT twitter, tumblr, and pinterest pages (which, as many Shimerians know, is an important job in order to get an organization's name out there).
In addition to updating various social media websites, something I'll be doing on a weekly basis this summer is Clinic Escorting. What does that entail, one might ask? As a brief explanation, clinic escorts stand ouside clinics on days when abortions are performed in order to protect women from protesters. The protesters positioned outside clinics are, on a good day, quiet. If you catch these protesters on a bad day, however, they will do anything from yelling racial slurs at women to shoving pamplets in the faces of distressed mothers (who are often at the clinic for general health issues, including mammograms and STD tests). I and many other escorts witness this craziness on a weekly basis. Unfortunately, these dangerous "pro-life" protestors mean that clinic escorts are necessary in many cities for safety reasons, and Chicago is no exception. For a better summary of the job of clinic escorts, a fellow ICAT escort wrote this awesome article.
For this reason, I now get to spend two mornings a week outside of Chicago clinics helping escort women past unhappy protesters. The picture above is from last weekend, when a school/church in Arlington Heights Illinois bussed in 30+ protesters, including a number of children. This now happens on a monthly basis. Ironically enough, these groups bring posters with giant photos of white babies even though most of the women headed to the clinic are women of color (because of the location of the site). This is only one of many tactics which illustrates the general lack of understanding of the issue on the side of the protesters.
I also took this picture last weekend, which not only utilizes a big picture of a white baby's face to try and scare women, but also includes another example of a scare tactic commonly used by protesters: fake statistics. The nice thing about made up statistics is that you don't have to source them, since they're totally made up!
Finally, I took this picture today - it shows one of my favourite aspects of ICAT, which is the diversity among the escorts. Both of these women are friends of mine, and have both been escorting for years. Both of them are proud supporters of women's rights, and are outside every week helping women of Chicago get the medical care they need.
Stay tuned for more news from my internship, including info about an ICAT event being held at Shimer in July!

Property values continue to climb in the wider Western Bay of Plenty, with Tauranga now 6 per cent below the 2007 market peak, new figures reveal.
Western Bay of Plenty house values rose 6.2 per cent in the year to June, reaching an average value of $415,877, while Tauranga values rose 5.5 per cent to $452,431, according to state valuer Quotable Value.
Nationally, values increased 8 per cent in the year to June to $476,346, up 15 per cent on the 2007 peak.
Higher end properties had also seen a jump in activity as more people moved to Tauranga from the bigger cities.
Realty Services chief executive Ross Stanway said the rise was a long time coming.
"The last two to three years there has been a steady price increase of 3-4 per cent, so a rise of 6 per cent is just a continuation of what has been in train for the last three years."
However, Mr Stanway said the rise was still well behind the price increases which have been reported in Auckland and Christchurch.
There was a still a shortage of homes in the region, which would be adding to the price increases, he said.
New commercial developments would also be adding to the rise in Tauranga and the Western Bay.
"There is some real investment starting to come on stream in the commercial sector, and that brings with it interest in our residential sector because a lot of people who are involved with those projects come and live here as well," he said.
Tauranga Harcourts franchise owner Max Martin said the lower priced houses in the region were not selling because of the higher deposit required.
"The reason property values are rising is because the lows ones are not selling to first home buyers and that pushes the medium price up, so it appears the prices are increasing."
However, Mr Martin said there was still a lot of confidences in the $600,000 to $900,000 market.
"There are a quite a few sales in that area but overall the prices haven't risen," he said.
LJ Hooker Bay of Plenty franchise owner Neville Falconer said a 5.5 per cent increase was slightly more than he would have expected in Tauranga.
"There's certainly been a small change in the pricing, especially in the value range in the lower to middle end of the market."
Increases were most notable in the $350,000 to $450,000 range, he said. "Because the listings are short at the moment, people are looking across all areas, and looking to find a good property that is structurally sound and doesn't have weather-tight issues."

Happy Yule to all pagans on the forum! It's the second year I celebrate the pagan "Christmas" and I'm very happy with my religion! :)
21-12-08, 17:05
Have a good night, mate. :D
21-12-08, 17:06
Yay thanks :)
21-12-08, 17:13
Paganism is a religion? Not a group of religions?
21-12-08, 17:16
It's used commonly as an Umbrella Term nowadays, yeah. :)
21-12-08, 17:19
I'll be more specific. I am a Celtic, traditional paganist, a wittan if you wish. It does not matter how you specify it, it's in us all, the whole patriatical form of religion came a lot after paganism. It's just a frame to tame the soul, when being a follower of nature is in all of us. So if I'm either in worship of Greeko-Roman gods, Celtic gods, Nordik gods...Natla :p.. It won't matter, they all have different names but apply to the same gods.
21-12-08, 17:25
Well it's Winter for all of us, that's a fact :)
21-12-08, 17:30
You're right. And since Christian holidays are just well covered pagan ones, the dates of the celebrations are also approximate... But that's just formality (*looks at your sig*) One shouldn't explain in what he believes, he needs to believe in it blindly, if his faith must be real. If one tries to explain what he believes in, he obviously doubts it. Anyway, not going to quote first grade philosophy now, am I? ;)
21-12-08, 17:31
Happy Winter Solstice!

Blessed be :hug:
21-12-08, 17:43
Anyone doing anything special today? :wve:
21-12-08, 17:49
I made a Yule Log earlier. :D
I'll stay up past midnight, light a few candles... and thats about it.
I get quite sad between Lughnasadh and Yule with the nights getting longer... but Yule marks the change, and we're back on our way to summer. :jmp:
21-12-08, 17:55
Argh. I wanted to eat the Pumpking Pastry I made for the contest :p!! I'll need to wait till tomorrow though!
Beauty, isn't she?
If photobucket wasn't so slow ... >_>
Anyway, I'm not doing any special ritual, as I don't know any... Maybe someday when I'm with my mentor or fellow pagans..
Next year we're making a Log, but this year I wasn't so lucky. It sounded so delicious when I read the recipe, and when I saw how my friend Ina made it, I was just ... ARGH! :D:D:D:D
21-12-08, 17:58
I made a Yule Log earlier. :D
I bought a scrumptious one from Tesco today.. :D
I'm off out tonight with some mates, celebrating just about everything we have to celebrate. :D .... Soberly. :(

Muggers Undone By Cellular Phone
Muggers Undone By Cellular Phone
By Brian Magoolaghan
A pair of brazen teenage muggers was busted on the beach early last Friday morning just minutes after they robbed a man at gunpoint – thanks in part to a cellular phone, police said.
The two 16-year-olds, whose names were not released because they are minors, allegedly boarded the 5:30 a.m. shuttle at the Beach 116 Station and pounced on their victim while en route to the Beach 105 Street Station – throwing him to the floor and shoving a gun in his face.
The victim, who asked not to be identified, said the two teens frisked his pockets for cash and ripped his cellular phone off of his belt. Finally, the alleged muggers demanded cash and the victim handed them about $50. The teens yanked the victim's gold chain from his neck, but the victim pleaded with them not to take what was a gift from his family, and the teens flung it down.
The teens fled on foot when the train arrived at the Beach 105 Station – but the victim told passengers who were boarding the train, who watched from the platform and saw the teens heading for the boardwalk.
The victim, meanwhile, told the conductor what happened and asked him to call police.
Officers from Transit District 23 and the 100 Precinct responded to the subway station and the boardwalk. Officers stopped two teens at Beach 101 Street, who had a duffle bag and were changing into new clothes under the boards. Police did not immediately recover the gun, which was later found buried in the sand nearby.
Officers brought the victim to Beach 101 Street to identify the teens, but he could not because he never got a good look at them, he told The Wave. Then a fast thinking sergeant gave the victim his cellular phone and had him dial the number to the phone that was stolen just minutes before; the phone in the teen's possession rang.
It was unclear what charges the teens would face, at press time.
The victim, who said he was traumatized by the incident, urged people in similar situations to seek police assistance – whether or not they get their belongings back.
"If you're a victim of a crime it's important to report it," he said.

Biography of Speaker(s)
Professor Campbell is Head of the Social Psychology Department. She has a long-standing interest in questions of agency and identity, particularly through her work on community health in Africa, and has published widely in this area. This seminar drew on her on-going research into AIDS-affected children in rural Zimbabwe.
Seminar abstract
Understandings of children's well-being in the past two decades have been heavily influenced by the 'new social studies of childhood' (NSSC) (James and Prout 1990) which portray children as competent social actors, exercising agency (independent reflection and action) independently of adults, often in extremely challenging settings. Such understandings of agency are well supported by a solid body of empirical research. In this paper, we seek to extend this conceptualisation by calling for closer attention to children's own understandings of what would constitute desirable outcomes of action.
We drew on 128 draw-and-write exercises where rural Zimbabwean school learners (aged 10-12) discussed the challenges facing their HIV-affected peers. We discuss two separate analyses of the same data. The first analysis – informed by the NSSC approach, and using the method of thematic content analysis – did indeed find some evidence for children's agency in mobilising support from peers and teachers, constructing positive identities around caring roles and showing immense courage and resourcefulness in ensuring their daily survival.
However a re-analysis of the same material influenced by Sen's (1999) and Seckinelgin's (2012) understandings of agency, and using a narrative approach to draw-and-write analysis, taking the whole story rather than thematic chunks as its unit of analysis, drew greater attention to the limited opportunities for effective action by HIV-affected children, the negative outcomes of many of the choices they made, and the extent in which contextual and relational factors limited their access to outcomes they themselves would value: the support of caring and loving adults, adequate food, and opportunities to advance the health and safety of themselves and their family members. We argue for conceptualisations of children's agency that take greater account of children's own accounts of the outcomes they themselves would value, rather than simply identifying agency in any form of independent reflection and action per se.

Treen Cornwall
About Treen Cornwall.
Treen is located about three and half miles from Land`s End It is accessed from an unclassified off the B3315..The stunning views have been featured in a great many photograph the rugged and wild Treen cliffs are also very popular with walkers, ramblers and even bird watchers.
Treen is t the nearest point of access to the famous Logan Rock the Horace promontory and Pednvounder Beach, Treen village which remains relatively unspoilt it has a shop/cafe, public telephone, public toilets plus the Logan Rock Inn. There is car parking for roughly 50 cars. At the Horace promontory there are the remains of an Iron Age Fort. The Logan Rock is a 65 tonne rocking boulder which was reportedly displaced by Lieutenant Goldsmith and a group of sailors in 1824. but the Admiralty insisted that he replace the Rock at his own expense. Pednvounder Beach is almost covered at high tide so it is important to choose a day when low water occurs round mid-day. The descent to the beach follows a well worn path down a steep gradient and there is an awkward little climb down at the end.
Lovers of the wild Cornish coastline will not be disappointed after a visit to Treen, the views and the coastal walks are amazing.
