Senate Stops Long Debt-Cap Raise as Republicans Mull Move
The Senate blocked a Democratic plan to push the next fight over raising the debt limit until 2015 as lawmakers struggled to find a path to prevent a U.S. default and end the 12-day government shutdown.
The 53-45 vote fell short of the 60 votes needed to advance the measure as Republicans rejected Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's approach.
The vote came just hours after House Speaker John Boehner told fellow Republicans that President Barack Obama rejected his latest fiscal offer. Reid and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are talking to each other and Reid rejected the Republicans' first offer because it ties conditions to the debt limit, said a Democratic aide speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting.
"It's been clear to me for a while we can't wait for the House to save us," said Richard Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Senate Democrat. "We have to find our own bipartisan path forward, and we haven't done that yet."
The emerging Senate talks have been focusing on a plan from Republican Susan Collins of Maine and Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia, which faces obstacles in both parties and both chambers of Congress.
That plan would delay a tax on medical devices for two years, while making up lost revenue through pension-rule changes and extend government funding for six months. It would push the next debt-limit fight to the end of January and give agencies more flexibility to allocate funds, said two Senate aides with knowledge of the proposal who sought anonymity to discuss the private talks.
Budget Talks
The plan would require the Obama administration to verify income levels for enrollment in health-care benefits, and set a mid-January deadline for longer-term budget talks, they said.
The detailed text of Collins' proposal could be released as soon as today, said a Democratic aide familiar with the plan who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the proposal.
"I think elements of my plan will be in the final compromise that brings an end to this impasse," Collins told reporters as she entered a meeting of fellow Senate Republicans today.
For the past two days, the prospects for a potential deal had focused on talks between Boehner and Obama that would push the lapse of borrowing authority to Nov. 22 from Oct. 17. Republicans also wanted to attach policy conditions to a separate spending bill that would end the government shutdown.
Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said talks between the White House and House Republicans were "done."
The White House today declined to comment on the budget situation.
Talks Continuing
Boehner also told members that talks are continuing with the White House, according to another person in the room who sought anonymity to discuss the private meeting.
Still, Representative Bill Flores of Texas said the president "is not talking to us." He said Obama "is trying to talk to the Senate Republicans and trying to split them up so" that Reid "can jam a deal together."
House Republicans oppose several aspects of Collins' plan. They want a larger dent in the 2010 health care law such as a delay of the mandate for individuals to purchase health insurance. Representative Hal Rogers, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, also rejected the idea of a six-month spending bill.
Obama has insisted that he wouldn't accept policy conditions attached to a debt-limit increase or a spending bill, though Jay Carney, the White House press secretary, hedged on the spending bill yesterday.
President's 'Concerns'
"The president has a number of concerns" about Boehner's proposal, Carney told reporters yesterday after Boehner and Obama spoke by telephone about the speaker's offer.
Extending the debt ceiling for a short period while budget talks occur may lead to a replay of the same brinkmanship the U.S. is experiencing now, Carney said.
The emerging Senate plan has no chance in the House, said Representative John Fleming of Louisiana after a party meeting today. He said there was "no reason" for the House to pass a short-term debt-limit increase. The House completed voting today and isn't scheduled to return until late on Oct. 14.
"Every offer we've made they just flat turned us down without any counter-offer," Fleming said. "Our level of expectations for the president has gradually dropped over the years to a point where we don't expect anything from President Obama."
Shifting Position
White House officials opened the door to talks on ending the government shutdown, even as they held firm on raising the debt ceiling without conditions. When asked whether the White House was shifting its position, Carney said the administration was "encouraged" by "constructive signs coming from the Republicans."
The indications of progress bolstered financial markets yesterday. U.S. shares rallied for a second day following the biggest jump since January and gold plunged to a three-month low while the yen weakened and oil slid. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) rose 0.6 percent to 1,703.20 yesterday in New York after jumping 2.2 percent the previous day.
The rate on $93 billion in Treasury bills due Oct. 24 was at 0.26 percent, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data, after climbing as high as 0.50 percent on Oct. 10. It was zero as recently as Sept. 19. The rate on bills due Nov. 29 was at 0.16 percent, the highest since the security was issued.
The shutdown has led to hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed or receiving partial paychecks. It has also closed federal services such as national parks.
Medical-Device Tax
The medical device tax is potentially attractive to lawmakers in both parties. It has drawn opposition from Democrats who represent states with device makers, including Massachusetts and Minnesota.
Republicans could say they made a change to Obamacare, because the medical-device tax was passed as part of the 2010 law. Obama could say he didn't negotiate on the principles of the health-care law, because eliminating the tax wouldn't end the individual mandate or other main components of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Durbin said he was open to changes in the device tax, though he had concerns about other industries taxed in the law seeking similar treatment.
"I don't want to pay dearly for short-term relief," he said. "Open the government first, pay our bills. Then we negotiate."
Oct. 17
If the U.S. fails to raise the debt limit by Oct. 17, the government will have $30 billion plus incoming revenue to pay its bills. It would start missing scheduled payments, including benefits, salaries and interest, between Oct. 22 and Oct. 31, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Republicans, who have called for defunding or delaying Obamacare, have reduced their demands over the past few weeks. The House "has demonstrated an incredible amount of flexibility," Representative Peter Roskam of Illinois said on Bloomberg Television's "Capitol Gains" airing this weekend. He is the House Republicans' chief deputy whip.
A deal built around repealing the medical-device tax would be a "hollow victory" and further divide Republicans, said Representative Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, one of the House Republicans still pushing to dismantle the health-care law.
"It would still fund 98 percent of Obamacare," Huelskamp said of the latest Republican proposal. "That won't be sufficient for conservatives and will be seen as capitulating to the left."
Any prospective deal faces questions, including whether Boehner can come to an agreement with Obama and not lose the support of his hardline members. They've sought to use the debt ceiling and government shutdown to force curbs on Obamacare and federal spending.

//Many Hillary Clinton allies, reporters and those holding both titles had a rather enormous and collective sad on Wednesday night over Clinton being asked several questions at NBC's Commander-in-Chief Forum about her private email server and what the FBI characterized as "extremely careless" handling of classified material.
Among the charges from the Twitterverse were that Matt Lauer was harsher on Clinton than Donald Trump, the email scandal has already been litigated and that handling sensitive information has nothing to do with being president.
Clinton's email server use as secretary of state first came to light in March of 2015. Exactly a year-and-a-half later, she is still answering questions about it.
We have 30 minutes to talk about all of foreign policy so by all
means let'slitigate the emails again .//

Anichiebe equalizer holds EPL-leading Chelsea to West Brom draw
WEST BROMWICH, England (AP) - Victor Anichebe grabbed a late equalizer for relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion to stun Chelsea on Tuesday, with the Premier League leaders barely looking like potential champions in a 1-1 draw.
Chelsea was poised to move four points clear at the top of the standings after defender Branislav Ivanovic's stoppage-time strike in the first half at The Hawthorns.
But Anichebe headed home his third goal of the season in the 87th minute to thwart Chelsea and lift West Brom out of the drop zone on goal difference.
Chelsea is just two points ahead of Arsenal at the top, ahead of the second-place Gunners hosting Manchester United on Wednesday.
Manchester City also has a chance to move to the top by beating Sunderland if Arsenal slips up.
This was a night when the hype following Chelsea's wins over Manchester City and Newcastle was punctured.
LYTTLETON: Chelsea's Hazard following own path to world-class success
Only Willian can claim to have had an impressive game, primarily pulling the strings and setting up Chelsea's goal.
From Willian's corner into the near post, center back David Luiz was left unmarked to flick the ball on with his right foot to the far post where Ivanovic slotted home from three yards (meters).
After the break Willian enjoyed a further three driven efforts, all of which were saved by home goalkeeper Ben Foster.
At least the home side showed greater attacking intent in the second period as James Morrison fired wide, Thievy Bifouma flashed a shot through the six-yard (meter) box, while captain Chris Brunt sent a half -volley beyond the post.
With Anichebe on for Bifouma in the 73rd minute, the Nigerian glanced home Saido Berahino's cross three minutes from time.

My first glimpse into the world of kink occurred when I was in college and stumbled upon Anne Rice's 'Sleeping Beauty' series. Since I loved her vampire novels I picked up the first one without understanding what it was really about and it opened my eyes to things I hadn't ever given a moment's thought to. I imagine that many of you have read the series and might know what I mean.
Over the years I researched and fantasized more & more (the arrival of the internet helped) while also reading novels like 'The Story of O' and 'Exit to Eden', books so prominent they could almost be considered mainstream.
At the time I incorporated aspects of the lifestyle into my relationships but was also wary about pushing too far, scaring her off. Spanking is barely considered kinky these days so that sometimes worked out but I also found myself increasingly unsatisfied.
My first "real" and prolonged experience with a power exchange happened when I became involved with a woman 21 years my senior. She was both nurturing and kind but also firm, both loving and mildly sadistic at the same time. Her dominance was one that I responded to very well, probably in part because I liked and respected her in addition to the Dominant/Submissive dynamic.
She eventually moved out of the area due to work but we're still friends and keep in touch, I'll always be grateful to her for teaching me so much in such a affectionate way.
Since then I've been exclusively dominant in my relationships but I'm open to whichever dynamic feels natural.
I'm a fairly positive person and that's reflected in both my disposition and the areas of the lifestyle that appeal to me. I love spanking but I'm not a sadomasochist or a masochist, the appeal for me is in the submission, the exposure; I have no interest in inflicting heavy pain and I'm a poor match for a sub who needs intense impact play. I also like affection and enjoy holding and caressing in addition to spanking.
If your primary focus is on intense pain or heavy humiliation we'll be a poor romantic match. There are natural elements of power exchanges that inevitably lead to humiliation but name calling and cruelty are not ones I enjoy.
I'm not a chauvinist and in fact consider myself a feminist. I don't feel that power exchanges should be based on gender and instead are based on the preferences and comfort levels of the people involved.
On the non-kink front:
I'm pleasant, funny, easy to get along with and well read (along with very modest!) and I'd like to find a primary but non-traditional relationship. I want to build trust and share the jokes and experiences that only develop over time. At the same time I consider myself monogamish and believe that any healthy relationship has a certain amount of openness attached. Honesty is something I prize considering that lying & sneakiness leaves everybody involved feeling bad and I want you to feel that you can tell me anything without being judged.
I enjoy drinks with friends at least weekly & I'm fortunate to have so many longtime friends and family still in the area. Politically I'm very liberal and would be a poor match for a conservative. I play on a softball team once a week and while I wouldn't consider myself a star athlete I am somewhat athletic. Love long walks around town and at the same time have zero interest in hiking.
I worked in the non-profit field 11 years for an organization that often rewarded me spiritually and sometimes frustrated me to no end (many of you who have worked for non-profits can surely empathize).
I've been involved in the real estate field for the past 4 years and it's quite the contrast.
NOT a fan of Fifty Shades of Grey. Getting past the narrative I just couldn't reconcile a virgin experiencing her first sexual interactions in a D/s setting. It felt exploitative and sleazy.
Richard Russo has taken over the title of my favorite author. Really enjoyed 'Straight Man', 'Empire Falls', 'Bridge of Sighs', 'Nobody's Fool' and 'The Risk Pool'.
Some of my other favorite authors would include Wally Lamb, Michael Chabon, Larry McMurtrey, Anne Rice, Haruki Murakami, Alexandre Dumas, Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Hornby, Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly, John Irving, Frank Herbert, Robert Heinlein, Leon Uris and Walter Mosley. 'I Know This Much Is True' by Wally Lamb is probably my favorite book ever, or at least the one that touched me the most. Loved 'The Master and Margarita'.
Making an effort to use the library for books as opposed to Amazon.
Movies would include The Sting, Say Anything, Fletch, Bull Durham, L.A. Confidential, A Fish Called Wanda, Casablanca, Heathers, Field of Dreams, Secretary, Stand By Me, About a Boy, Stand By Me, Pretty In Pink, Dazed and Confused, Boyhood, Annie Hall, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Tree of Life, Office Space and High Fidelity.
Saw "Grandma" this weekend and it was easily the best movie I've seen thus far in 2015.
My favorite TV shows: Mad Men, Justified, Parks and Recreation, The Walking Dead, Louie, The West Wing, Arrested Development, Lost, Breaking Bad, Dexter and Orphan Black.
So many in the kink world are obsessed with titles and strict protocol, if we connect it'll be on a personal and intimate level and first.
Also how intolerant the current Republican party has become and reminding myself to show tolerance myself towards these people that I increasingly regard as alien life forms.
Outside of my sex life, though, I don't own a car, which is very rare in the Bay Area.
I've been called a 'cuddle slut' and it's an accurate label. I'm extremely affectionate and if we connect we'll be touching each other very quickly and very often. I know that we all have different comfort levels regarding touch but if you're squeamish and uncomfortable about touching outside of a sexual context we'll be a poor match.
I've also had discussions with friends about sweeping, very stirring soundtracks on movies and TV (Lost comes to mind). I'm all in favor of media that provokes a strong reaction and have zero objection to being shamelessly manipulated by a skilled director.
I have a mostly platonic crush on Rachel Maddow.
I strongly dislike reality TV, just about hate it, but I really enjoy 'Comic Book Men' on AMC.
INFJ for those of you who may be curious.
Also, that you're prepared within a short amount of time to actually talk on the phone so that we can get to know each other and determine whether moving onto the next step is a good idea. I know, nobody likes talking on the phone these days but I don't consider text messages to be an effective way to get to know somebody.
If you live in the Bay Area. I receive a number of messages from women out of state, sometimes out of the country, and I have no interest in a long distance relationship of any kind. If I like you I'm going to enjoy you on a regular basis as opposed to irregular visits to the Bay Area.
I have another, more vanilla profile on OkCupid that has additional pictures, including a number with my entire face as opposed to the side profile here. If we begin a dialogue I'll direct you to it right off the bat.

They are "crazy in love." People have been "riveted" by their "love story." Who are these star-crossed lovers who burn for each other? They are a ram and a doe.
The story of Changmao the ram and Chunzi the deer, who have shown an unusual attraction to one another, has drawn the sort of attention usually reserved for gay penguins.
Last month, the Chinese zoo where the animals live posted pictures of them on a microblogging site and asked, "What does one do when a ram falls in love with a deer?"
The post went on to say the animals "have not only fallen in love at the Yunnan Zoo, they've also begun cohabitating! Separating them would go against their wishes, but allowing them to continue would be 'immoral.' We are wondering what to do with this ram-deer relationship."
Thousands of people weighed in. One person told China Daily, "When I first learned the news, I thought this might be a joke. But when I saw these photos, the love in their eyes touched my heart."
The zoo separated the animals when the ram fathered a baby sheep, thinking that the baby needed to be cared for by both parents. The act triggered all sorts of Disney-level adorableness, with the deer was trying to lick the sheep through the fence.
The animals have since been reunited, and the zoo has promised they will remain together. Which apparently makes us all go, "Awwwwwwwwww."
But why?
Why is it that we go all mushy over bonds like this in the animal kingdom and impose on them notions of love?Report Typo/Error

Offenses and Defenses – 6895
Spring 2014
Description:The criminal law recognizes a number of defenses, which enable a person who has committed an offense to avoid conviction and punishment. A defendant who intentionally killed might still secure an acquittal on a murder charge by pleading that he acted in self-defense, or that he was insane at the time; or he might secure conviction on a lesser charge of manslaughter by pleading that he acted under extreme provocation. A defendant who has intentionally destroyed another's property might secure an acquittal by pleading that she acted under duress, or out of necessity. Some have argued that the law should recognize a wider range of defenses: for instance, that a defendant who has suffered serious social disadvantage should have a defense for at least some kinds of crime. In this seminar course we will embark on an analytical and critical examination of such existing and proposed defenses. Questions to be asked about each defense will include— — Just what are the contours and structure of the defense as it now exists (or, in the case of a proposed new defense, as it is intended to exist)? Should the law recognize such a defense? If so, why? Are there ways in which the defense should be revised?If we are to understand defenses, however, we will also need to tackle some broader questions about the structure of the criminal law. In particular—— How can we distinguish offense elements from defenses? Is the distinction simply a useful expository device, or does it mark a significant difference between different dimensions of criminal liability? Whereas the burden lies on the prosecution to prove all the elements of the offense, the law might shifts the burden of proving a defense (an "affirmative defense") onto the defendant. Can such a shift of burden be justified? Is it consistent with the presumption of innocence? Theorists often distinguish, among defenses, justifications from excuses. How can we best draw that distinction? Does it help us to understand the character of defenses?We will need to address these questions as we study the individual defenses.The class will meet for twelve hours, concentrated in the latter part of the semester, beginning March 24; in the earlier part of the semester, students are expected to do work for the course by reading from a list of sources I will provide and developing the projects that will become their term papers. I will provide supervision and guidance from a distance (I will be in Edinburgh during the first half of the semester). Here's how it will work—For the first half of the semester, I will provide a set of topics and reading lists, partly on the individual defenses and partly on the broader questions noted above. Students will need to make a start on those broader questions, and choose a particular defense as the focus for their project. I will offer advice, supervision and guidance by email, and through TWEN-based discussions forums in which students will be expected to participate.Each student will pick a particular defense (either an existing defense or a proposed new one) to research: depending on the number of students in the class, it might be possible for students to work collaboratively on projects if they wish to.Face-to-face classes will start in the week beginning March 24: we will meet on Fridays from 1.25 to 3.25, and for another one-hour class each week at a time to be decided after consultation with those taking the course. Some of these classes will focus on topics related to the theme of the course, but some will be devoted to student presentations of their projects and class discussion of the presentations.Students will then write up their projects as their term papers; I will arrange individual consultations to discuss draft papers. Term papers should be about 25 pages long.Course grades will be based primarily (80%) on the term paper, but partly (20%) on the student's presentation to the class. A detailed syllabus, with suggested readings on offenses and defenses and on particular defenses, will be provided before the start of semester. If you have any questions about the course, feel free to email me (email@example.com) or to come to see me—but if you want to see me in person, you will need to do so before November 15.

A Midsummer Dream: This is probably the best way to describe how A Casa da Eira saw the light. It just happened that once again we were combing the villages of the Riberira Sacra area when suddenly we found the house which, in the future, would be our holiday rental project. Or should we better say the house found us. Immediately we were captivated by its long chestnut-wood balcony, its sand-coloured granite stone walls and the situation of the village at the upper part of the River Sil Canyon. It only took us one night to decide that this would be the place where we wanted to start our new life project. And it has been since 2001 that we have been sharing it with all our visitors.

Christmas gift tags signed by the Queen and other members of the royal family have gone under the hammer in an auction in London. A total of 19 tags were sold by Tooting-based auction house Brian Reeve Auctions and fetched a grand total of £4,478.
The items were sold as separate lots and snapped up by roughly five different buyers.
The festive tags give an insight into the royal family's private life and how they exchanged gifts during the Christmas period.

In a typical conventional RO onshore plants a large amount of sea water is pumped onshore and only 1/3 of the total sea water pumped to shore is converted into fresh water, with the remaining 2/3 returned offshore as concentrated brine. A major advantage of our wave energy converters is that 100% of the water pumped ashore is fresh water, with the brine released around the device and helped to mix with sea water through local waves, currents, wind and special outlets on the device. As a result of this, significant energy savings can be made when compared to conventional RO systems.
Another advantage of the Oceanlinx wave energy converters is that rather than having one extensive desalination facility onshore, multiple devices can be spread along the coast to provide and support fresh water supply tailored to the needs of coastal communities.
By using a single Oceanlinx device for desalination, coupled with the provision of power from the grid to balance the energy supply during wave down-times there is the potential to provide 3million litres of potable water per day, which would cover the needs of approximately 3,500 households.

Leila is back in Chesterton, divorced, penniless, and desperate enough to do anything to save her mother's home from foreclosure - including turning to Evan, her former best friend. But Evan isn't interested in friendship. Instead he makes Leila a shocking indecent proposal.... Meanwhile, Evan's newlywed sister, Paulette, wants to be the perfect wife. But a blackmailing bad boy ex has reappeared in her life - and he's threatening to reveal her most painful secret....
The scandals just won't quit - and for everyone involved, desire, betrayal, and lies are all in a day's work....

"I can't wait until the next one..."
I wasn't prepared for the ending. .and when the narrator said "the end" I literally stared at my phone and immediately Googled when the next book will be out. This story keeps you on your toes. Sometimes I found myself yelling at the book...lol. When you can place yourself in the story talking to or yelling at the characters, that's how you know you have yourself a good story...a great book.
Audio books are growing. I have listened to books for months now, But I prefer my books in paperback/hardback format.
"very interesting book"
CATION: There maybe spoilers in this review.
this the second book I've read/listen to by Shelly Ellis. her books always catch my attention. I may check out more of her books.
I just wanted to throw my phone a cross the floor when I was listening to this book . the family in this book irked me so much. like they rather keep the secrets and or mess up their marriage or stay in a bad marriage. the only people in the book that didn't make me right were Leila, Antonio and Terrance.
but end the end they finally reveal there secrets and finally told. I was so glad of that. I got excited and said YES when Evan caught his wife Clarisse and his half brother Dante in the slower I'm like FINALLY.
And last but not least I had to laugh at the end when Paulette watching the news. I was glad Antonio didn't leave her. I did wanted to know what else happen between those to I didn't like how it ended I felt like it should've been more on Paulette and Antonio part.
"Great Story!"
I loved it, it was, pure entertainment from start to finish??? Loving this author! Awesome!
"good story line"
I enjoyed this book and the narrator was pretty good also. I did not like Paulette though, she was the dumbest thing ever.
"Love it!"
I loved it! Couldn't put the book down. Can't wait to read number 2 and 3!
"great start unfinished ending"
narrator was good..... story line was easy to follow.... plot flowed well... until the end... it's like the author became tired of thinking and writing... and just gave up........ the ending left me wondering... and not in a good way... made
me want to unread and get my credit returned.....
"enjoyed the book"
good book gave it 4 stars because it kept my interest. can't wait to hear the 2nd book
"Great book!"
Is there and ending to this story line? if so will you be so kind to direct me to it?
"Never Ending Drama - Spoiler Alert"
This was a fantastic story about Murdoch family. The narrator kept me very much engaged in the drama with Evan and Leila's affair as well as Paulette's blackmail drama. Can't wait to listen to Bed of Lies to figure out who killed Paulette's ex who was doing all the blackmailing. I hate that snake of a 1/2 brother Dante. He is out for revenge on the Murdoch's for the sins of their father.

Insurance law covers the policies insurance companies offer and the rates they charge. Personal insurance standards include auto insurance, health insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, and disability insurance. Business insurance standards usually include commercial liability insurance, errors and omissions insurance, malpractice insurance, and business interruption insurance. Each of these policies covers losses from different types of risk, and both the losses and the risks are carefully defined. It can take an insurance lawyer just to determine if your loss resulted from a risk you were insured for. Sometimes insurance companies deny claims, acting in what is legally called "bad faith." Insurance lawyers can determine if your insurer is treating you fairly and sue for you if the company is acting in bad faith.

Asia's Secret to Health and Youthfulness
Tyent Water™ is more than just filtered water; it's HEALTHY WATER that is ionized and alkaline with more beneficial properties for you than conventional water. This amazing alkaline water is created through our time-tested water ionizers, which offer the best warranties and trial periods on the market. These state-of-the-art water ionizers install easily onto your faucet to give you the purest and healthiest water available, with just the touch of a button.
Tyent Water was developed in Asia and has been a secret to maintaining health, youthfulness and wellness for over 25 years. The concept of ionized alkaline water is fairly new in the USA, where mostly just a select few celebrities, Olympic gold medalists, doctors and nutritionists are currently reaping the water's rewards.
Tyent Water hydrates better because the water has a smaller molecule cluster size. During the Tyent ionization process, the water is broken down into a much smaller form that helps penetrate your cells faster and easier, therefore fully quenching your thirst and hydrating your body.
Drinking Tyent Water is more beneficial than drinking anything else. Tyent Water offers numerous health benefits. Other beverages such as bottled water, tap water, reverse osmosis water and plain filtered water just cannot compete! Many doctors consider ionized alkaline water to be "alive" because it has many of the same qualities as the pure, oxygen-rich and mineral-rich spring water that can only be found atop of pristine mountain terrain.

It's nice to have on the road or at the office if you're an ionized water drinker like myself. Definitely gives me the peace of mind I need when I go to new places and I'm not sure of what kind of water I'll be able to drink there. Also a great way to get purified water without having to make a big deal about it - it just looks like a fancy travel bottle.

Top 9 Reasons to Wear Short Dresses
Last updated on : May 17 2015
Wearing short sexy dresses is not for the faint hearted. You need to be confident in your legs, embrace your complexion, and know your style. It is about being flirty, simple, and to the point. They don't leave much to the imagination (in most cases) and are meant to keep you cool while ensuring you are visually hot and spicy. With all that said I'm going to give you a few solid reasons you should consider wearing a short dress as the weather heats up plus some other pointers to help you pull off this look.
Why wear a short dress?
When you think of wearing a short dress be inspired by Rihanna's sultry song Skin. She simply states, "The mood is set, so you already know what's next..." Set a mood that is sassy, clever, and appealing. Short dresses set a mood that is fresh, flirty, and fun. Wear a strapless short dress when you need to run errands or a spaghetti strapped dress as you head for brunch with friends.
Never fall behind the fashion curve (it's so 1999 when you do). Personal style today is not just about being trending it's about being unique and quirky in your own right. It's about finding your own style and bending the rules. Short dresses evoke a style all their own and add drama (read sexy black dress), flair, and polish to any wardrobe and your going out clothes.
Being comfortable is the basic foundation of all style today. Gone are the days where your feet had to hurt all day because you decided to wear your favorite pair of sexy heels (these heel pads have been our savior). In a short dress you are mobile, agile, and comfortable. Your legs get a nice breeze that keeps you cool in under the sun.
Every time you put on a short dress you experience a cooling sensation that gives you a constant flow of refreshing air. Breathe easy all day and consider a short A-line dress with a scalloped skirt or in a sassy short lacy blend little number for a variety of venues ranging from soirees to luaus. Being fresh is not simply about the physical; it's about knowing that your style is unique and the what you wear is a direct reflection of who you are.
Packing for vacation can be tiresome but when you opt to bring along light and breezy summer dresses you'll enjoy lighter bags without compromising your style. Whether you find yourself on the road for numerous days or gone for a weekend short dresses or even skirt sets take up less room in your bags so that you can expand your wardrobe or bring home souvenirs for family or friends while away.
In so many ways a short dress can be sensual and a wonderful little dress to put on for dates and anniversaries. Opt for a nude colored dress or a pink bandage dress to give the illusion of being completely naked (so risky yet flattering on many body types) or a two piece number that hits just below your knees.
If the sun isn't shining you can still put on a short dress without hesitation. Tights have made a dramatic comeback that should inspire you to be try something new without much effort. Pair your short dress with textured, print, or colored tights or simply opt for footless leggings to keep warm in cooler months.
Being attractive is the goal for us all. What better way than to put on a simple and sweet short dress that shows off your gorgeous legs and figure. Whether you opt for a form fitting style or a prefer something with more of a flow or ruffle you are bound to feel beautiful and dainty. Short dress styles evoke a simple sweetness that tends to tempt every man into be chivalrous and heroic. Don't believe me? Put on a short dress and watch how many men run to open your door.
Every ounce of a lovely short dress screams "I'm a girl and I love it". Short dresses remind me of polka dots. Polka dots are notoriously famous for being lovely, dainty, and girly because of their simple design. Polka dot dresses come in an array of styles, colors, and designs that can do good for your feminine and girly girl soul.
How to Wear a Short Dress
The key to pulling off any look today is to put on a dress that is flattering to your body type. Choose a style that makes your toosh pop, shoulders look kissable, and your legs toned so that you are confident when you step outside (confidence is the greatest accessory).
Always pick a properly fitting dress. For example if you opt for loose fitting clothes you've added ten pounds, if you opt for smaller clothes you look "stuffed" into your attire (giving the illusion of adding a few pounds as well). Going a size up or down can do the trick. Too tight and you look stuffed. Too loose and you look huge. If you're stuck consider a fit and flare dress which are often in-between.
It's a basic law, anything with horizontal stripes is guaranteed to make you look two sizes bigger. If you must (and I mean must) don horizontal stripes try vertical bottoms if you have longer legs or vertical tops if you have a longer torso. Here is a great capture on how to wear stripes and use them if they are your favorite prints.
Why more women don't don belts is beyond me. Belts flatter most body types and look adorable in almost all short dress styles. If you find you are more of a triangular shape place your belt slightly below your bust to give you a clearly defined waistline. If you find you are more rectangular shaped consider placing your belt on your lower hips for the appearance of a longer torso and higher on your waist for the appearance of longer legs. Here is a breakdown on the location of your hips and waist to help determine the placement of your belts on your dress.
If you are a fan of trendy clothing stores you have likely noticed that large prints have been making a comeback - unfortunately. And as cute as they are, if you don't want to look 10 pounds heavier, you might want to skip out on larger prints and stick with solid or "flowing prints" like this. The best styles for any body type rarely involves large chunky prints of any sort. If you must wear a short dress that involves large prints pair it with heels or pumps so that the prints have more space to show off.
A simple and cost effective way to enhance your body type is to opt for coming off the ground a bit. Ever notice that celebrities are rarely seen on stage or performing in flats? There is reason. Heels lift you off the ground, improve posture, give you toned, sexy legs, and shape up your toosh - naturally. With all the pads and cushions on the market today to make heels easier to wear it's a good ideal to try to pair your short dress with some.
Heels with straps are easier to walk in (if you are a newbie to the thought) and wedges give you more surface to balance on for times you may be walking in your heels for more than three hours. Due keep in mind that are a general rule if you have longer legs choosing heels with straps provide a subtle sex appeal. If you have shorter legs consider strapless as you give the illusion of your legs going on forever. If your calves are thick and muscular consider wedges as they offer a slimming effect on certain body types that is worth exploring. Remember that darker heeled wedges or colorful pumps will have the most slimming effect on your legs.
The best short dress styles for your body type depends one what you consider to be your assets. Remember that curves are in, less is more, and identifying your color and styles is only half the battle. Choose a short dress that is flattering and styles that display the assets that you are most willing to share.
If you are still not convinced you should try to wear a short dress sometime soon - message me and we can talk about it, or try a midi dress as a half way point instead.

More than one hundred thousand people are attending the Squamish Valley Music Festival this weekend, and festival organizers have tight security on hand to prevent any possible drug overdoses.
Festival attendee Alyssa Harrison says there is lots of security at the festival, and bags are checked before people enter the festival grounds.
"It's definitely more of a relaxed atmosphere…and I haven't seen anybody…any medical issues, I haven't seen any of that this year."
Harrison says so far the festival does seem more well behaved than most.
"I've been to Pemberton before and there's definitely a lot more drugs and heavy drinking going on at Pemberton. I think because there's a lot of security, there's a lot of…you know, they're checking bags."
The use of illegal drugs and fentanyl overdoses is concerning, with two fentanyl related deaths in the Vancouver area in the past week.
The festival has close to 200 medical professionals on hand.

The Scholarship is given in recognition that the MBA may represent a significant financial burden, particularly for those who have chosen to work in social ventures rather than the purely commercial or public sectors.
To be considered, you need to meet the following criteria:
1). Candidates must have started and grown a social venture that has been running for at least 3 years by the time they apply for the MBA, OR they have been responsible for leading a major expansion of an existing social venture or programme within a venture for 3 years by the time they apply for the MBA.
2). Candidates must demonstrate evidence of personal qualities strongly resonating with entrepreneurial leadership, and illustrate how these have influenced their career path thus far. These qualities include:
- Single-mindedness and persistence in pursuit of a social/environmental benefit goal, including a willingness to face failure and start again
- A bias towards action rather than reflection
- A tendency to explore the environment for opportunities and resources
- A willingness to take personal, and sometimes financial, risks
- A propensity to develop networks and draw upon their members to pursue mutual goals.
4). Candidates must demonstrate some evidence of their need for the Scholarship. This may be exhibited, for example, in previous work experiences or personal backgrounds which make self-funding the MBA a significant financial burden.

Then, if you are accepted onto the MBA programme, you will be eligible to apply for the Skoll Scholarship. The Skoll Centre will then send you a link to the Scholarship online application.
Complete the Skoll Scholarship online application. This consists of a series of short essay questions asking about your experience as an entrepreneur, your social impact, and why you believe you are a strong candidate for the scholarship.
It is important to visit the official website (link to it is below) for complete information on how to apply, and also to access the MBA Application form.
For the 2016-17 academic year, you'll need to apply during stages 1-4 of the MBA admissions process. For the 2017-18 academic year, you must apply during stages 1-3. Scholarships are awarded on a rolling basis and candidates are urged to apply as early as possible as they are highly competitive.
The MBA Application Deadline for Stage 1 is 09 September 2016, for Stage 2 is 28 October 2016, for Stage 3 is 06 January 2017 AND for Stage 4 is 17 March 2017.
Please note, should your application be successful, a deposit is required in order to secure your place on the MBA programme. Students will be responsible for meeting this financial guarantee via their own means. In exceptional cases, the Scholarship Committee may consider requests for full Scholarship coverage including the deposit.
If you are unsalaried or have an income which may preclude you from applying to study on the MBA programme because you cannot afford the admissions fee, the Center reserves the right to waive your fee. This is done on a discretionary basis and is non-negotiable.
If you would like to apply for a waiver, you should be confident you meet the requirements for the MBA and the Skoll Scholarship, then send in your CV and a covering letter explaining your financial circumstances.
Application Deadline: Rolling (DEADLINES above)
Open to International students: Yes

A player, coach or issue that should be on your radar as training camp approaches.
Organized team activities can foster a skewed NFL reality based on non-contact practices, disproportionate attention on young players and contract squabbles that almost always are resolved by training camp. So we should mix some hesitation with an otherwise clear set of clues that the Green Bay Packers are giving rookie Morgan Burnett a solid foundation to one day unseat veteran safety Atari Bigby.
Bigby is a restricted free agent who hasn't signed his tender and thus isn't participating in OTAs. He's been a productive player when healthy but has missed 12 games with a variety of ailments over the past two seasons. The Packers recently rewarded Pro Bowl safety Nick Collins with a contract extension, but it's not clear if they have enough faith in Bigby to do the same.
That the Packers traded up to draft Burnett suggests his presence has some intent. He has been working with the first team for most OTAs and coach Mike McCarthy said Wednesday he has been "very impressed." McCarthy said Burnett has appeared particularly comfortable from a communication standpoint and added: "I think he's off to a good start. I think he's a very natural football player."
You would expect to hear those keywords from a coach who has a veteran starter sitting out practices; nothing like a little motivation to report. You would also expect a quote similar to the one McCarthy provided on Bigby:
"I think all of our players understand the importance of the OTAs, particularly the players that have been here in the past, the opportunities that they're given and the time that the coaching staff puts into these OTAs and the individual time that's available afterwards. Anytime a player misses these, it's an opportunity that is wasted as far as being with his teammates. But we can't deny there are business situations that surround our business, and that's no different for Atari or any others that have not been here."
Much of this dynamic depends on Burnett. If he proves ready to start as a rookie, the Packers could have an interesting training camp competition. But if he's like most third-round draft picks and needs extra time, Bigby will slide back to his role for at least one more season.

How the blessing takes place and limiting the liabilities are both strong motivations for the policies to exist. Heck, the foundation has been created just to protect developers against those liabilities. Placing a tarball under your own account is a somewhat clear indicator that it's just a snapshot and as such is pretty much "use at your own risk", from both a code quality and an IP standpoint (i.e. does it contain GPL'd code?). Placing it under a project URL usually indicates that it's been properly voted and is therefore "clean". > This really seems like an area that projects should be able to set > their own policy guided by common sense. > Fuck no :) None of us are lawyers, yet releasing is unfortunately a step in that land. Releasing open source is even more touchy. Believe it or not, there are companies that employ lawyers to check releases licensing before adopting one. Even Eclipse does that. So releases are really an area where you want to have very tight common policies, the last thing the ASF wants is an official, ASF-endorsed release continaing some GPL code or code copy / pasted from proprietary software by a careless contributor. > > (Is the ASF a place where I can raise questions like this without > being shut down with "this is how we do things here, go away if you > don't like it?"

I recently learned that the Wall Street Journal's Expat Blog has ceased offering new content or publishing their existing content for free. I wrote a piece for them last year about raising mixed kids in global families, with the intention that it would remain accessible and free, so here it is in its entirety (with the title they gave it):
'Blind Spots' and Other Problems in Globally Blended Families
When the parents are in the majority and the kids are in the minority
By Tracy Slater
Perhaps your child, like mine and many others in globally blended families, belongs to the world's growing mixed-ethnicity population. The World Factbook finds a countable percentage of mixed-ethnicity people in almost a quarter of its 236 countries and territories. Among western nations, England's and the U.S.'s mixed-race populations are increasing faster than any other minority group.
Mixed-ethnic children often face very different experiences than their parents, a point stressed by many studies tracking this population's growth. But within multinational families, there is a unique generation gap. My daughter may be mixed, but she has two biological parents without much clue about what it feels like to be a minority as a kid. I'm a Jewish American, raised with all the cultural privileges afforded to whites in the U.S., her father is native Japanese, and we live in Japan. She is only two, but as she grows she will likely experience the joys and struggles shared among many children in global families—yet absent from recent conversations about mixed-race kids.
There is a growing body of English-language research about minority kids with parents who grew up in the majority, although much of it focuses on transracial adoption of monoracial children. Sharon H. Chang, author of the book "Raising Mixed Race," cautions against applying this research to families like mine. The experiences of monoracial minorities and mixed-race people, she explained by email, are like "apples and oranges. Monoracial people have not lived the experience of mixedness, no matter their minority or majority status.
Moreover, globe-trotting, multicultural couples who grew up in the majority and give birth to mixed-race children may show a particularly complex set of tendencies, combining an openness to cultural differences and an understanding of how it feels as an adult to stand apart from the norm, with a blindness to the way race can play out within families and the broader community, particularly for children. They are frequently aware of racism as a concept, but many still lack a deeper understanding of its felt truth during a child's formative years.
American Eliaichi Sadikiel Kimaro, director of the award-winning documentary on mixed identity A lot Like You, said "race just wasn't a factor" for her mother growing up in Seoul or her father in Tanzania before they moved to the U.S. as adults. "My parents infused me with the belief that I had to work harder, over-achieve and out-perform my white counterparts in order to be seen as equal," she explained by email. But they also had "blind-spots when it came to race" that limited her own "understanding of the reality, the truth" of how racism would impact and shape her life.
Samuel Ahovi, raised in France by his white mother and Togolese father, said by email that the hardest part of growing up mixed was not fitting easily within the ethnic identity of either parent. But he admitted that the majority-minority generation gap also mattered. Both Ahovi and Hilary Duff, whose mother grew up in China and white father in Canada, said that parents in global families should be careful not to ignore ethnic differences. "My parents didn't focus at all on my cultural identity. I suspect this was because they wanted my brother and I to think we would be treated like any other kid," Ms. Duff said by email. But "we didn't look like any other kids, and this affected us whether they wanted it or not."
For Mr. Ahovi, the biggest regret involves his inability to speak Ewe, the Togolese language. "I think parents should work hard on transmitting their own culture to their children," he said. "Maybe if I was able to speak Ewe, if I were at ease with Togolese culture, I could be assimilated as an African, and finally feel 100% part of something." Ms. Duff urged globally blended parents to "embrace the duality of their child," and teach them about their background. "Even if kids don't entirely understand, they'll appreciate it later."
Not everyone agrees that the majority-minority generation gap matters in multinational families, although race plays an important factor here, too. According to mixed-race American Nilina Mason-Campbell, in her father's native Jamaica, black people are both in the majority and "secondary in their own country" to white and light-skinned people. "I haven't personally seen a connection between whether a parent was raised as a minority or not making a difference," she said in an email.
Despite these differences, most stress the benefits growing up multinational, mixed-race, and first-generation minority. For British blogger Philip Shigeo Brown, even as a child, "it was always somehow especially nice to meet other half-English, half-Japanese kids that you could relate to on so many levels, often without anything being said," he wrote in an email. For instance, someone might ask, "'Shoes on or off? 'Definitely off!' everyone always agreed!"
According to Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu, a Stanford University psychologist and author of the book When Half is Whole, his mixed heritage—from his Japanese mother and Irish-American father—has provided lasting positive impact despite the "sense of isolation" he said in an email he experienced occasionally when young. As he wrote in an article for Psychology Today, "I tolerate inconsistency and dissonance rather than trying to resolve differences and needing to decide which way is right and which is wrong. I embrace complexity and ambiguity, balancing these diverse and even seemingly conflicting culturally learned perspectives."
Overall, mixed-race children of multinational couples said they expected an even brighter future for kids from families like theirs. Many pointed to the internet as vital part of that. As Mr. Brown put it, "The world is getting smaller and more connected, facilitated hugely by social networking." This helps kids combat isolation and forge "communities to talk to, share and learn from."
Tracy Slater is an American writer living in Japan. She was recently interviewed about her book, The Good Shufu: Finding Love, Self & Home on the Far Side of the World.

DTX Media –> Photography –> Dallas Texas Aerial Photographer
Dallas Aerial Photography
DTX Media, formerly known as TX aerial, has been offering superior aerial photography in Texas for years. Owned and operated by the award winning National Geographic professional photographer Jonny Carroll. We shoot from full scale helicopters, RC remote control helicopters, planes or whatever you need from your Texas aerial photographer. Based in Dallas, Texas we server the whole state including Austin, San Antonio, TX, Houston, Lubbock and even Oklahoma and Louisiana.
**See our Aerial Video Page and or our entire Photography Portfolio**
Types of Texas Aerial Photography
We offer aerial photography from full scale helicopters, planes and even RC remote control helicopters. The method we choose depends on location, altitude, regulations and quality. Our platform choice also depends on budgets. We will work together to find the best option for you.
Drone Aerial Photography
Drone aerials are ideal for super-low angles, below buildings. RC aerial photography is also perfect for remote locations that don't have servicing airports. In addition to our live video feed, we can see the altitude to get accurate views for prospective builders. We use top of the line equipment and cameras, we've far from your average hobbyist. Drone or RC aerials are a great option for some jobs, but is not always the best or cheapest option and is subject to limitations from weather, wind, elevation, location and flight duration. Contact us to find out the best platform for your needs.
Oblique Aerial Photography
Low-altitude photos photographed at an angle. Best for portfolio or real-estate type work. Typically photographed from a helicopter vs an airplane. Typically flown on sunny days at the best time of day for the location. Serving all of Texas. Shown above is the Dallas Country Club.
High Altitude Aerials
Still an oblique, but much higher. Typically photographed from an airplane vs a helicopter. Our Texas Aerial Photography can go much higher than high-altitude sample shown here. This Dallas aerial photogrpahy sample is of the 35-E Lake Lewisville bridge.
Vertical Aerial Photography
Straight down photos. Similar to satellite imagery. On small locations in Texas we can shoot these ourselves, for very large areas within Dallas, and some other metro areas we can pull from the most recent satellite imagery.
Construction Progression
Monthly photos of construction taking place in Dallas Texas. Huge discounts over custom aerial photography, but also not quite the same quality. These are for documentation purposes. They're not always sunny days. We fly typically around the 1st and the 15th of the month.
Speciality Aerial Photography
We offer specialty aerial photography. This could be live events on specific dates, some of which require coordination and special clearance with the FAA. It also include night and twilight aerial photography. Night aerial photography can be very tricky but also very pretty. This only works with some locations. We have a lot of experience with specialty photography. This is something not just anyone can do. We offer the best Aerial Photography in Texas.
Drone No Fly Zones / Airspace Restrictions
With the full scale helicopters, we can get clearance into any of the restricted orange DFW airspaces with a 36 hour notice. The one exception being the red circle (George Bush's house). Drones however can not operate in the orange areas without several months notice and large fees from aviation attorneys, and even then access may be denied. For this reason, we recommend any aerial video needs inside the orange areas be filmed with a full scale helicopter (our nose mount or side mount options). Any person or company flying a drone in these areas is breaking federal law and is a criminal with potential penalty of imprisonment. (i.e. Not someone you want to do business with). You can see a detailed and interactive no-fly map at Airmap.com
