Of course, that depends on what your definition of criminal is. The open borders crowd couldn't have done it alone. Lucky for them they have allies at every level to assist in the suicidal agenda. As a result, law and order patriots are under attack, and with amnesty on the table in Washington, there won't be any help coming.
A federal judge has ruled in favor of an open borders cabal, ruling that sheriff Joe Arpaio's Maricopa County Sheriff's Office engaged in racial profiling in their effort to curb illegal immigration. The suit was brought by a small group of open borders zealots, and if the linked story is any indicator, Arpaio never had a chance.
U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow sat on the case for eight months after the seven day trial, ruling that not only did Arpaio's crew engage in racial profiling, but also detained people for unreasonable amounts of time. What that time actually amounts to is anybody's guess, but in this case Snow decided on his own that it was too long. A hearing is now set to determine what the fate is for the sheriff's office. Likely it will disband or neuter the efforts of Arpaio to apprehend illegal aliens. Keep in mind Arpaio is already barred from working with federal authorities, based on the Justice Department's attacks. They haven't brought any charges against Joe, but that didn't stop them from imposing penalties anyway.
The case hinged on sweeps conducted by Arpaio's office to catch illegal aliens-and any other law violators. The success rates speak for themselves.
During the sweeps, deputies flood an area of a city — in some cases, heavily Latino areas — over several days to seek out traffic violators and arrest other offenders. Immigrants who were in the country illegally accounted for 57 percent of the 1,500 people arrested in the 20 sweeps conducted by his office since January 2008, according to figures provided by Arpaio's office.
In some cases. This is Phoenix folks, and the likelihood that an area is not Latino is pretty slim. And 57 percent of those arrested were illegal aliens? Nice job. That also means that 43 percent were not illegal aliens but had committed some other crime that warranted an arrest. Nice job. Too nice for the open borders lobby, and once again, a single person, in this case judge Snow was handed the power to dismantle a successful operation. Not only to dismantle, but to hold those engaged as criminals.
Opens borders goons may argue that Snow is a Bush appointee, therefore the ruling was objective. Keep in mind that the whole Bush clan is as open borders as Obama. Remember McCain-Kennedy? Bush said he would sign that nightmare if it made it to his desk. Remember Ramos and Campeon? Bush let them rot in jail. Remember the million illegals marches? All of that was on Bush's watch. Yes, he installed Snow.
Whatever draconian measures Snow imposes on Arpaio is just a continuation of what he has been enduring for years. This is a private suit. The Justice Department isn't finished with him. There are other suits pending as well. They are making an example of Arpaio for those that might have the temerity to try and enforce immigration law. After all, amnesty is on the way, and the last thing they need is a guy like Joe Arpaio manning the welcome wagon.
Not a peep of support for Joe Arpaio coming from Washington, and don't hold your breath waiting for it either. The decline of a nation occurring before our eyes.

For My $300 Million Jet, Whom Do I Make This Check Out To?By
When the sticker price for a new Boeing or Airbus jet can top $300 million, rarely does one expect a buyer to fork over the total in cash. Yet that's what has been happening in recent years at Boeing, the largest seller of widebody airplanes, where a quarter of all deliveries this year are forecast to be paid for in cash.
Most buyers in the market for a 777-300ER—list price: $320.2 million—or a $212 million 787 Dreamliner pay Boeing cash they have borrowed elsewhere, typically from a bank or a commercial bond issue to support the acquisition. In many cases, the airline has already sold its new jet to a leasing company and plans to rent it for the next decade or more, a common arrangement in the industry.
Cash payments peaked at one-third of deliveries (PDF) in 2012, according to Boeing Capital, which helps to finance the company's airplanes and analyzes the market for future financing availability to help the company plan production and ensure adequate liquidity to fund the sales of the new aircraft. Boeing Capital predicts that bank loans and capital markets, often bond issues, will each account for 24 percent of delivery financing. Boeing's commercial airplanes unit reported $53 billion in sales last year due to a record output of 648 aircraft. (Boeing and Airbus receive the bulk of payment for a new plane when a customer takes it.) Airbus says cash and commercial debt accounted for 57.5 percent of its delivery financing last year. The company does not specify cash alone.
The level of cash payment reflects an airline industry that has dramatically slashed its debt load, provoked into a more conservative management by shocks to its business, from the terror attacks to oil prices to pandemic scares, says Kostya Zolutsky, a managing director at Boeing Capital in suburban Seattle. "The biggest impetus was 2001 and they saw how big the shocks can be," Zolutsky says. "Between 2000 and 2010, airlines globally, in essence, halved their leverage. The industry as a whole de-levered. When you look at cash (payments), that's a reflection of that."
Zolutsky says in a given year "you can count on one hand, maybe two" the number of airlines that buy a new plane directly from their cash flow. Those that do typically want to reduce the amount of cash on the books, driven by the airline's balance sheet goals. Spending it on a new airplane can make more sense than parking it in a low-yielding investment or using the money elsewhere. Southwest, for example, has paid cash for some of its 737s, and many of the older, inexpensive McDonnell Douglas aircraft in Delta's fleet were bought with cash in the used market. That airline also leases less of its fleet than do rivals, giving Delta the flexibility to park some planes if there's a sharp economic downturn. Airlines that lease face regular payments, requiring them to fly the planes to generate revenue even if a flight isn't making money. If Delta orders new widebody airplanes this year, there has been speculation in the industry that some of those big jets may be purchased with cash, given Delta's goal of becoming a "high-quality industrial transportation" company with low debt, an investment-grade credit rating, and rising dividends.
"Cash is fungible," says Henri Courpron, chief executive officer of International Lease Finance Corp., one of the world's largest airplane lessors. "There's no airline in the world that doesn't have borrowings." But at times there are also a few that see wisdom in writing fantastically large checks.

Ask a Neurologist. Get Answers to Your Neurology Questions.
Hi. I am a board certified neurologist in California. How can I help you today?
Hi I was just wondering what you call a migraine that doesn't resolve?
Are you there?
This is probably the worst service I've ever gotten from justanswer.com
Hi are you there?
My apologies you were offline when I gave my initial welcome.
A migraine which does not resolve can be given several terms.
One is status migrainosis, a migraine which goes on for many days and often needs more aggressive treatment.
Another term used is chronic daily migraine or chronic migraine, which are migraines that occur daily without any major improvement.
Of course, if someone is having a new daily persistent headache, then excluding causes other than migraine should also be considered, as a person with migraine can possibly have other types of more serious headaches in addition to the migraine.
I got a migraine on Aug. 4, 1998 which never resolved. They tried everything and everything made it worse. What would you call a migraine like that?
A chronic migraine.
Have you tried Botox by any chance?
Have you ever heard of the same headache going on for 15 years without a break at all?
Yes, although most cases of migraine are not daily, some patients unfortunately have daily headaches that do not go away.
Have tried lidocaine, demerol, statex, anti seizures, prednisone, you name it but because of the horrific results and the hypersensitity I've developed since that time to seemingly everything I wouldn't even dare try Botox..
It is obviously not the norm, but it is possible.
Yes but when you say daily headaches and the word headache to me implies a beginning, middle and end to one am I correct in that presumption?
Well, Botox works by a different mechanism, is relatively safe without usually major side effects, and is FDA approved for chronic daily migraine.
No not necessarily.
In a patient with intractable daily headaches, it definitely makes sense to try Botox, and I do have quite a few patients in my clinic who failed multiple other treatments without effect and find Botox to be quite helpful.
Of course, the treatment needs to be repeated every 3 months if it is effective.
The odds of it making your headache permanently worse are very very low.
The types of migraines I used to get were complex, where you would get auras and numbness of one arm, then the same part of the face, then a feeling like you were doing to lose consciousness, you'd sleep wake up and it was gone,...is that a complex migraine?
A migraine with aura is termed a classical migraine.
A migraine with neurological symptoms in the middle of the headache such as numbness can be termed a complex migraine, that is correct.
but you did not read the whole thing or I forgot to mention that I would also get slurred speech like I was having a stroke...
Botox can be used for patients with both types.
that is a complex migraine yes?
The slurred speech would also characterize it as complex migraine.
Assuming it was not a stroke.
I don't think it was a stroke since I used to get migraines from taking Paxil....
hold on.... still typing...
Then one day back in 98 I got the headache but didn't get the aura, or anything that normally went with it like nausea as well.
They tried anti inflammatories, narcotics, stuff you put in your nose.... and everything made it worse.
Then in Sept. of that same year after 3 weeks of so I was prescribed Lorazepam....
On day 6 of taking that I was sitting in a restaurant and felt like sparks in my head but no pain....
when I got home that night I finally got the numbness on the left side of my arm, then my face and lip, then the visual aura, then the need to sleep immediately.
when I woke up 3 hours later, it was gone, the headache i'd had for 3 weeks was gone ....I was ecstatic... but it was 3am and I had plans for the next day and new I would be too exited to sleep.....so I took a quarter of a melatonin and zap, the headpain went back up to a 10 out of 10 and since then it never went away...
I am sorry to hear that.
I can understand your frustration.
Then in 2003 a pain doc prescribed topomax which over months made the pain go down to a 2 out of 10........
If I were in your shoes, I would definitely consider Botox especially if everything else has failed.
I needed to take antibiotics for some infection, which made the pain go back up and it blew the topomax away. I was never able to take it again without it also making the pain worse....
the topomax.
I will never try botox, because when I tried the lidocaine it bumped the pain up so high that I tried to kill myself.....
and lidocaine should not do that but it did....
I can't take the chance that there's only a 3 percent chance that botox will do that because chances are I'm in that 3 percent..... you see.
Botox is completely different than Lidocaine.
So anyway over time and actually taking ambien over a period of years ended up bringing down the pain to a reasonable 8 out of 10....
It is FDA approved, Lidocaine is an experimental therapy.
I have not head of Botox causing suicidal thoughts.
it would be the pain causing suicidal thought and not the medication...
I see.
if you have pain that's a 50 out of 10 you are going to want out of your body pretty fast, that's anybody...
If the pain became unbearable for some reason, you could always goto an ER as the last resort if it became necessary.
what can the ER do if I can't take any pain meds?
However, I do understand your perspective as well.
You cannot receive IV narcotics?
Dilaudid and Morphine can be used as a last resort but can be effective.
I cannot take any pain meds, cannot take antibiotics, you name it, other than ambien to sleep and I've spent my life savings on it I can take nothing.
I am sorry to hear this. Is there any other question I can help you with today?
dilaudid , statex, morphine, oxycontin, etc. all made the pain worse...
well what I wanted to know was what causes a migraine to not resolve and what is that name for that specifically?
Chronic migraine is the name.
why do some migraines resolve and what causes others to not resolve?
The thing that causes that can be theoretically a permanent disruption and perhaps hypersensitization of the trigeminal autonomic system.
Of course, this is theoretical and these situations are not often studied given there are not too many patients in your situation.
One could also question whether there may have been injury to the pain areas of the brain if the headache that did not improve was related to meningitis or something like that.
Best wishes. Please click on accept if I have answered your questions in a satisfactory way. Please let me know if you do have more questions.
thank you.

EYE-PHOTO LLCPhotographer Male Middletown, Connecticut, US
My Website: WebMy MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/eyephotollc
Mayhem # 1671932
About Me
A professional photography company located in CT specializing in model portfolios and portraits. Our studio is located in central Connecticut. We are a member of the Professional Photographers of America.
Our rates are very reasonable and will do an occasional TF shoot for an exceptional new model so don't be afraid to ask. If we do TF, a standard model release is required. We do not shoot models under the age of 18.
Check link for more work
In my eyes, the perfect model... from missaniela.com
…replies in good time to emails and messages, and if they can't make it to a shoot, they let you know as soon as they can (with a reason that sounds honest)
…can write an email properly. That doesn't mean a novel, and neither does it mean they have to write it like a letter... But they can write 'dear' or at least 'hi', use your name, nothing too colloquial in the first instance; they know how to structure even the shortest email, and give you the feeling they put at least a minute of intent into it
…can give you a recent clear picture showing their current hairstyle, figure, etc and turn up looking like it
...is prepared, checks the route beforehand, listens to any instructions on what to bring
… is prepared, clear on the shoot and ready to sign model release (and though being upfront, thorough communicable is very important, I admit that I do prefer models who ask the least questions.
… has no ties/commitment to an agency unless I know about it (I personally prefer independent models for my personal projects and events)
…understands the nature of the shoot they are participating in, and goes with it, even if they don't like what they are wearing
…doesn't moan about anything unless they are really uncomfortable or in pain. Might sound a bit sadomasochistic but I've had a deep respect for models who try to stick something out without prompting for it to be ended too soon, e.g. wearing a scratchy bracelet or a sweaty top
…can put aside their emotions and problems whilst getting on with the job, and at least pretend to look happy or engaged, After all, they're being photographed!
…makes the effort to engage in the shoot, be enthusiastic and conducive to the photographers needs, managing to get the balance right between being proactive and being directed - and a super model brings extra special pizzazz to a shoot, freshly inspiring even the most defeated or confused photographer.
…takes an interest in the process of what you are going to do in post-production, enough to help achieve the foundations in camera.
…understands that post-processing takes time... as well as preparing files too, and doesn't bug you for pictures if you've promised them pictures.

Nintendo Wii: £179 (if you can find one)
Nintendo is sitting pretty at the moment. One year after launch it can still sell every Wii console it makes, and barring some disaster demand will only increase in the run-up to Christmas. With over 13 million units sold worldwide, it is already catching up on sales of the Xbox 360, and may well have overtaken it in the few days between me writing this and you reading it.
To see why the Wii is so big, you only have to see one in action at a gathering of family or friends. Put Wii Sports on a big screen, and everyone from six to sixty-six is soon up and having a go, and they're all having a good time. There's something very immediate and intuitive about the best games on the Wii. You don't need to be able to master two sticks, eight buttons and four triggers - if you have a vague idea of how to swing a tennis racket and you're prepared to look a bit foolish, you can have fun.
The combination of this and a low entry price have made the Wii's major failings almost irrelevant. At launch, Nintendo cheerfully admitted that the Wii wasn't a monumental step forward from the technology in the GameCube, and the games released so far have borne this out. The Wii's Hollywood GPU can cope with more sophisticated operations than the GameCube's Flipper, and the Broadway CPU is believed to run 50 per cent faster than the GameCube's Gekko, but we're still essentially talking about 480p visuals with few of the effects we take for granted on the PS3 or 360.
This really isn't a deal-breaker. As anyone who has played Metroid Prime 3: Corruption or Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess can tell you, the Wii can still produce some fine looking games, and various Wii developers have dropped the usual obsession with photo-realism in search of clean, cartoon styles that look fantastic on an HDTV screen. And while Dolby ProLogic II audio is a step backward in fidelity from the 5.1 Dolby Digital supported by Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 titles, that's not something that seems to be ruining anyone's experience.
The one fly in the Wii ointment is the quantity of quality games on the system. There are dozens of Wii games out there, but a huge number of them are either ropey ports of PS2 or 360 games with Wii controls shoe-horned in, or sporadically entertaining party games in the Wii Play/Mario Party/Rayman Raving Rabbids vein. Worse, of the nine or ten really good games on Wii, only five or six have enough gameplay to keep you glued to the screen for more than a few hours at a time. The Wii is a great console when you're entertaining the kids or you have a few mates around, but will it be gathering dust the rest of the time?
A few games say 'no.' Legend of Zelda: The Twilight Princess is one, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (after a shaky start) is another. In a few weeks we'll know for sure whether Super Mario Galaxy can better both - early reports suggest it can. And now that the Wii has built a massive audience, developer support is phenomenal. Expect more great games as next year goes by.
Overall, the Wii is the easiest console to make a judgement on. If you're looking for something to entertain your family and you're happy playing more serious games on a PC (or you already own another console) then go ahead and buy one. Old-school Nintendo fans, meanwhile, should already have voted with their wallets. If, however, you're left un-fussed by Mario and Zelda and you'd rather have a great selection of sports games, racing games and action games, then you're better off with the 360 or PS3 - the Wii will leave you wanting more games with more meat. I still think you're missing out, though.

Ok, Quadrant5, first off, lets not mix terms for the same parts, i.e. anti-foll bar, sway bar, they are one and the same, pick a name and stick with it (most commonly known as sway bar).
No service records with the car?
If on a limited budget, pick and choose your upgrades wisely, however, if your front and rear suspension is worn and/or damaged (never told us the mileage on the car), to do the job 100% correctly will cost you close to $1500.00 or more in parts itself, labor being extra.
The Outer Lower Control Arm Ball Joint is not replaceable (unless you have a Meyle Aluminum Control Arm which allows for replacing just the ball joint (about $190.00 a piece). The inner ball joint is replaceable at any time (cost is about $90.00 each). The Lower Control Arm Bushings, PowerFlex Urethane Bushings cost the same as stock bushings (about $70.00 per pair without the brackets) and are much better than the stock or solid rubber bushings PLUS they can be re-used and are much easier to install. Sway Bar End Links wear and should be replaced at same time as the other front suspension items. Tie Rod Ends also have ball joints in them and need replacing when they have excessive play or a vague steering feel. Just all those items alone, puts the parts price tag up over $700.00 and we haven't even talked about the Front Struts and their related parts.
And if the Front Suspension needs attention due to wear/damage or updating, the Rear Suspension is also in need of attention, which will add more money to the project.
The very best way to look at fixing/updating suspension: Do it all, the entire suspension wears!
How to tell if things need replacing? First off, buy yourself the correct Bentley Service Manual, you will be doing yourself a big favor. Do you have the tools (full set of metric sockets, combination wrenches, jack, jack stands) and a place to do the work, or will you have to have the work done by a shop?

The picture shows my little statue of Pope Urban IV, kindly given to me over 30 years ago when I was at Corpus Christi College in Oxford. From early in the 13th century, Juliana of Liège received visions of Christ instructing her to petition for the feast. Fortunately, the Archdeacon of Liège, Jacques Pantaléon, became Pope Urban IV. Spurred on additionally by the miracle of Bolsena, he instituted the feast of Corpus Christi in 1264, the year he died. It is said that St Thomas Aquinas and St Bonaventure were both invited to compose an office for the feast. Pope Urban asked St Thomas to read his first; as he did so, St Bonaventure quietly tore his to shreds since he felt his effort was so inferior.
I'm not sure we did as well as St Mary Magdalen's Brighton (High Mass) this evening but I think we ran them close with our Missa Cantata. You can see the splendid vestments that Fr Blake procured: but we also had some rather fine ones recently acquired on long term loan from another Southwark parish although the set is not complete. (We'll use them on Sunday and I'll make sure to get a good photo.) Brighton had the Byrd 4 part Mass. We can't manage that yet but I have some youngsters working on it. Nevertheless, Mass II (Fons bonitatis) was sublime; and I bet we had more servers (11) and candles (36) than Brighton :-)
Friendly rivalry aside, I'm sure Brighton had as enjoyable and uplifting an evening as we did. It was glorious to have a procession and Benediction after Mass as a fitting end to the celebration. Gaudia were certainly iuncta to the sacris solemniis. (relevant google search)
Tomorrow I'll be assisting Fr Charles Briggs at Chislehurst for High Mass which he is celebrating on the occasion of his 50th birthday.

A Fantastic Voyage – At The Vintage Bazaar in Chicago
Krrb is now part of the Apartment Therapy family! Check out the Marketplace for an even wider selection of furnishings and home decor.
Visit the Apartment Therapy Marketplace »
Meet Merl! A Vintage Bazaar regular and super duper vintage seller, jewelry designer, killer photographer and self-described crazy cat lady. We like Merl and we think you'll like Merl too. Lucky for us all, she took a wild ride through June's Vintage Bazaar in Chicago and snapped shots for us all who couldn't be there.
So take a look and don't sleep on next month's event. The Vintage Bazaar will be at the Aragon Ballroom again this Sunday from 12-5 and they've got some great stuff brewing.
Read on for more pearls from Merls…
"Don't steal the little boy's snow cone Merl. Do NOT steal the little boy's snow cone Merl." I may never have stolen anything in my life, but in the middle of the steamy afternoon after hefting a 16 lb camera rig in the 95+ heat, I was not above bribing a mini gent for his heavenly looking snow cone to avoid the understandably long line at Jo Snow's booth. Luckily for said happily preoccupied young man, I was instead soon distracted by the multitude of wares awaiting my perusal outside at the Vintage Bazaar this past Sunday in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago.
I had already finished my first circuit of the day inside at the Aragon Ballroom [1st of 4 I should note] and it's evidence of my extreme eco friendly magpie nature that contrary to being overwhelmed by booth after booth of vintage knick knacks, clothing, accessories and home decor, I was instead ravenous for more. Each booth was chock full of one of a kind gems that were carefully curated by the shop owners and the goods were practically jostling for my attention. I was beginning to think that agreeing to a limit of 10 favorite items by Katherine and Libby was impossible, but there's nothing I love more than a challenge, so with that numbered constraint in mind, I began to rack up my picks of the day (in no particular order, past numero uno.. cause really, who can blame me for my favorite pick?).
It's no secret to anyone who has met me that I have a serious soft spot for our furry friends. When I spotted this happy little chihuahua from One Tail at a Time making the rounds of the Bazaar, my heart melted [joining the rest of my body in the puddle on the pavement] and the need for some doggy love in my life hit an all time high. Unfortunately, with 3 cats and a tiny apartment, that's not an option for me right now, but I highly suggest if you have the availability to strongly consider fostering or even adopting one of their available pups!
I have a special place in my heart for the original animated Jungle Book movie, seeing as how my siblings and I would watch it at my grandparents in New York City when the adults needed a break from us and the weather wasn't nice enough to lock us outside. This beautifully illustrated cover caught my eye first thanks to the tiger taking precedence front and center [cat lady alert] but it brought a smile to my face to remember those earlier times. (This vintage Jungle Book is from Gypsy Mouse.)
One of the best comebacks I've had directed my way from a disgruntled friend who didn't like his 'celebrity' comparison I had provided: "Gee thanks, on that note, has anyone ever said you look like little orphan Annie?" Though intended to be a zinger, it was actually quite hilarious. Touché Daddy Warbucks, touché. (This vintage Annie bag is from the similarly hilarious Sara of Lovestory Vintage.)
When I was younger, I was convinced I would either end up as a lawyer or a surgeon [this was after princess of all the horsies and kitties of the world was removed as an option thanks to my older brothers]. The lawyer was prompted by the fact that I loved to argue, and the surgeon was thanks to my insane curiosity concerning bodily functions. The severe lack of memory effectively killed both of those careers before they had even begun, but thankfully I've retained both my ability to voice my ideas til I'm blue in the face & my fascination for how, why and when our body does what it must do. (This vintage Medical Library book with amazing flip up illustrations is from Victims of Vintage.)
I have a [worst kept non secret, secret] secret. I'm a cat lady. Some might even toss a crazy in there from time to time. I pretend not to hear them, but we both know the truth. This beautiful articulated lion necklace was actually the first item I spotted that day that had to be one of my 10 favorites. My friend Andrea saw me weaving through the crowded booth towards said jewelry and said "I knew you were going for that ya cat lady!" Busted. (This vintage 'articulate beast' necklace is from Rainbow Vintage.)
I have a vintage lamp obsession. Thankfully I've managed to mentally 12 step myself away from the 'edge' but it was pretty dicey for awhile there. An old flame actually tried to impose a limitation that I must donate a current one before bringing another into our abode. I think I showed up with 3 more later that day, only partly out of spite. I mean.. they were still great lamps that had no business living in that thrift store a minute longer. (This vintage lamp is from Miss E Vintage.)
In case anyone was still searching for a belated birthday present for yours truly, this chest is at the top of my list. It's actually surpassed a solid gold pony, mostly because this piece actually exists. (This vintage gold mirrored chest is from Andrew Celis.)
Summers in Chicago are the only thing that make the winters bearable as far as I'm concerned [though even I can admit that last years was kiiiiind of a cake walk] and with that little pond at our doorsteps, it seems criminal not to take advantage of it with multiple beach days every week. Insert: the vintage swimsuit of my dreams. Now.. if only I could lose a rib or two, and maybe a butt cheek to fit into that tiny number. (This vintage 50's maillot is from Dethrose Vintage.)
Directly after I squealed & decided right then and there that these mugs were the 10th favorite item of the day [see: cat lady status above] my friend Sarah surprised me with -a pre-selected- late birthday gift with the 3rd matching mug. It should be noted that though her gift came after my decision, I can always, always be bribed with cat paraphernalia. (These vintage tiger mugs are from Zzouzi Vintage.)
Last, but certainly not least we have these beautiful air plants from Acorn. Though I grew up on a flower farm, until recently I had one of the blackest thumbs known to man. My current green flock and I are going on 3 months and I have hope that I might have finally kicked the death hands. What makes these a logical next addition is their easy watering schedule [check the video] that even a time challenged individual like myself could manage.
The inclusion of the food & beverage trucks not to mention the music provided by Chirp Radio and the rocking new do's turned out by Joe's Barbershop make The Vintage Bazaar a truly unique shopping experience. I will definitely be returning for the July 8th market, this time with my pocketbook instead of camera in hand.
See You At The Market!
The Vintage Bazaar is now monthly, second Sundays in the summertime, 12pm-5pm

Between June 17 and 21, 2013, educators attending the second annual Google Education Summit can focus on enhancing teaching skills through the development of dynamic, media-rich, and interactive Google projects.
A recent 'iPad for Parents' session, offered by the Instructional Design Center at Wisconsin Lutheran College, was designed for anyone interested in learning more about mobile technology and understanding a few of the tools that schools are implementing on a large scale with students.
The rise of online learning isn't slowing down, which is why it's important for educators to be properly equipped to bring their classroom into the 21st century and make a positive difference in student achievement.
Taking the iPad for Business and Collaboration course opened my eyes to the incredible possibilities of the mobile environment within any business setting.
More than 70 educators participated in the first annual Google Education Summit (July 8-13) at Wisconsin Lutheran College. By the end, many attendees had fully functional, digitally transformed unit plans to bring back to their 21st century classrooms.
The Google Education Summit is designed for educators seeking to develop 21st century skills. Attendees receive a Chromebook and explore new educational technologies with renowned presenters in the field of digital education.

She enrolled in Wisconsin Lutheran College?s iPad in Education course, and has continued to research and discover remarkable ways to increase student achievement in her classroom through its use.


text: Ok, now that I'm starting to slowly encroach on my beard's longest growth length ever 6 weeks plus with in the week there's been an increasing number of hairs in my beard that have split ends. I find this quite weird, since I comb and wash my beard often. I comb 2 to 3 times a day, and wash it approximately 2 to 3 times a week with a mild shampoo, the same I use for my head hair. I don't put anything else in my beard, nor do I do anything else with it, besides the occasional plucking of a hair or 2 if I'm not paying attention and set into a soothing mood. Still I do think any of this would support my getting split ends, especially at such a young age for my beard, just a little over a month. Anything I can do about them, or do I just have to live with them and leave them be?

Since the establishment of the area's first licensed hotel in 1681, Portland has had a dramatic, grand and boisterous hotel tradition. The Portland hotel industry has in many ways reflected the growth and development of the city itself. As Portland grew with greater numbers of people moving through the city or calling it home, the hotel business expanded to fit the increasing demand.
Jameson & Wotton Wharf, Friendship
Since 1897, the Jameson & Wotton Wharf in Friendship has been an important addition to the community on Muscongus Bay. The wharf, which is accessible at all tides, was a steamboat stop for many years, as well as important to the lobster business.

Hi, my name is Jackie, I've been reading the tummy tuck experiences here for a few weeks now and just scheduled my first consultation for October 4th.

My consultation is with Dr. Dale Reynolds but I want atleast one other consultation before I settle on one. Thank you in advance for any advice or comments.

That is one of the top reasons I love being mixed too! People always think I'm from a lot of different places, and in reality I am, it's just nice to know that people from all sorts of different parts of the globe can identify with me. It does make it easy to fit in, pretty much everywhere I go.
I speak a few languages though, it makes it even easier to blend in!
Hair Type: 3B with a concoction of random 3a/3c mixed in.
Fine/Normal Texture, Oily/ Normal, Normal Porosity, No hair dyes, no chemicals, all natural.
Deep Conditioning Treatment: Honey&Coconut Conditioner mixed together for lightening and protein.
Organix Coconut Shampoo (Sulfate free)
I switch up my normal conditioners all the time.

We were not allowed to distress with ink so I used some Coredinations Cardstock and embossed it using embossing folders in my Big Shot. I sanded each piece of cardstock to reveal a distressed texture. So cool & VERY easy! Run on over to the Tuesday Trio Blog to check out the sketches and design team creations!

All of those are excellent platforms. I carry a G23 due to the fact my agency approves the 22, 23, and 27 for carry on duty. However, that being said, 9mm ammo is cheaper, and overall a little less snappy. A good SD round in a 9mm will more than do the job. The p239 is a nice platform but, only single stack and limited in capacity. I would recommend the G19 or G23, and a good quality IWB rig and gun belt. I regularly conceal mine in a tshirt and shorts/jeans, with nobody the wiser.

Timeline (how long your order took to process):
I made the order in early September, it never came.
Describe your Experience.
I made the order in September, requesting for the item to be done in what I remember was 3 weeks. Now I understand that it was a rather short time frame, and I'm located overseas, but I was willing to pay for whatever additional shipping there is. So I sent an email over to d q, asking her if it's possible to have it done and get it to me within my deadline, stating very clearly in my first email that I'm located in Singapore. She said yes, it's possible, quoted me a price which I thought was reasonable, asked for more picture references and I did that all. Email correspondence was quick (I practically get a reply every few hours), I made my payment with Paypal and that was it.
Here's when the horror started. She said she could give me a preview photo the Tuesday after that, so I waited. On Wednesday there was no reply, so I sent an email. The reply I've got came a few days later saying that her internet was bummed. I said, alright, but where are the preview pictures? Her internet being bummed shouldn't mean all battery operated electronic devices in her house were too, so there's no reason why there shouldn't be a photo.
And then she took another one week to reply, and that was when I filed a Paypal dispute. She got back to me half a day later (it's amazing how good her timing was, eh?) claiming that I shouldn't have done it since I'm located overseas and I didn't tell her (which I did in my very first email. The shipping address on my Paypal account states so too), and that she'd already mailed out the item.
But considering the date that she mailed it out to, it was one day AFTER the deadline that I've given her, so I went ahead with the Paypal thing anyway, and insisted on getting a refund. Paypal could only manage to give me a partial refund due to a lack of funds in her account. But fine, better than nothing, and while I wasn't very pleased, I could live with that. Left her a negative review on the Marketplace and went about with my life.
EXCEPT even until today, I'm still getting harassment emails from her etc etc. And that brooch she said she sent? It's almost December now and it's STILL NOT HERE. Even surface mail would have reached by now.
Final Grade:
F- (if there's a grade lower than that, I'd give it.)

Shared Experiences support line
Our Shared Experiences support line supports parents who are experiencing specific difficulties, problems, worries or other issues during pregnancy, birth and early parenthood by putting them in touch with someone who personally understands.
If you or someone you know needs the support of the Shared Experiences support line, call 0300 330 0700 on Monday - Friday from 9am – 7pm. You can leave a message outside of these hours and someone will call you back.
When you call the Shared Experiences support line, our enquiries team will put you in touch with a volunteer who has gone through a similar experience and is able to offer understanding and a listening ear. Callers are also given details of other relevant charities or support organisations who may be able to help.
What have callers said about the support line?
'It was very useful. I found it reassuring to know that things would pass. I felt very isolated and I just wanted to know that other people had been through it and sharing it with someone else who had been through it was very very helpful. My life is a 100% better now, its dramatic; I hadn't noticed the change until I actually look back. I used to struggle to talk about it and feel down after I had spoken about it. I now have a full-time job and my daughter is amazing.' (PND sufferer).
'Contacting the line helped me emotionally and took a lot of stress out of the pregnancy. I think it was reassuring for my partner because it helped me and gave me an outlet somewhere else so it helped him. She gave me the reassurance that you can come out of the other side.' (Erythromelalgia sufferer).
Would you like to volunteer for the support line?
If you've had a challenging experience during your pregnancy, birth or early parenthood and would like to volunteer so that you can help us to make a difference to parents who really need us, email email@example.com.

April 2017:
The Los Angeles Times recently explored the high cost of fast tracking drugs at the Food and Drug Administration.
MedStar Ambulance Inc. will pay $12.7 million to settle a non-intervened upcoding case in Massachusetts. This case was initially declined by the government, but because of the tenacity and hard work of attorney Jeffrey Newman, and the courage of relator Dale Meehan, it moved forward and, in the end, they were awarded a 28% relator share for their extraordinary efforts.
BTG will pay $36 million to settle claims the British medical device manufacturer conducted an illegal marketing campaign. BTG will pay $25 million in civil claims, and an additional $11 million in criminal penalties.
Sometimes you see amazing things.
For example, how about a case resolving in less than 6 month, with a 20% relator share?
In the attached opinion, U.S. District Judge Kevin H. Sharp denies a motion to dismiss three FCA cases filed against SavaSeniorCare, the nation's fifth-largest skilled nursing facility, which has more than 24,000 beds in 200 skilled-nursing facilities in 23 states. The case alleges SAVA routinely billed for therapy services that were either medically unnecessary or which were unreasonable in scope.
The TAF Education Fund has filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of State Farm Fire and Casualty Company v. United States el rel. Cori Rigsby, et al.
This year, TAF's Public-Private Partnership Award went to two candidates who exemplify the concept of partnership, Amy Easton and Jeffrey Dickstein.

Our partners at the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP) have released a new instructional video on how to measure chlorine residual in the distribution system.
"This video will cover taking a good chlorine sample and methods for analysis. Effective measurement of chlorine residual is essential for protection of public health. The presence of the residual not only provides disinfection, it also serves and an indicator of water quality. Loss of residual can be an indicator of a water quality problem. Chlorine residual may be measured for compliance or non-compliance purposes. While the analysis will remain the same, how you collect the sample may differ. This video will discuss measurement of chlorine residual using a colorimetry and a handheld spectrophotometer."
The struggle to provide safe drinking water in the face of the Gold King Mine spill is reminding many utilities and operators of the importance of knowing what to do if water service is disrupted. But creating a strong emergency plan is often easier said than done—and the middle of an emergency is the worst time to discover you've forgotten something.
Hosting a water emergency roundtable discussion is a great way to boost plans for service disruptions and help others in your community do the same. These events also provide a unique opportunity to connect water security with broader preparedness and community resiliency efforts underway in your region.
Here's a quick glance at what you can do to host a successful discussion:
For more tips and sample invitation scripts, read the Water Emergency Roundtable—Outline for Discussion developed by the Association of State Drinking Water Administrators and EPA Region 5.
Our partners at the Rural Community Assistance Partnership (RCAP) have released a new instructional video on hydrant inspection and flushing.
"This video covers basic inspection and flushing of a fire hydrant. All fire hydrants in a water system need to be inspected on a regular basis. Inspection is needed to ensure a high degree of confidence that hydrants will perform properly in an emergency. A number of circumstances can affect a hydrant's performance, including vandalism, accidental damage, wear and tear, and mechanical malfunction. Hydrants may also be flushed periodically to improve water quality."
As smart phones and tablets become more and more common, many organizations and individuals have found that they can be useful, portable resources in an emergency. One resource available to utilities as they plan for and react to emergency situations is the EPA's mobile Water Utility Response site.
Water Utility Response On-The-Go is a site specifically formatted to be comfortably viewed on smart phones and other mobile devices. The homepage displays a menu of links for tracking severe weather, contacting response partners, responding to incidents, taking notes and recording damage, informing incident command, and accessing additional planning info. The weather tracking and response partners links use location data to help you access forecasts and contacts specific to your area. The Respond to Incidents section includes action checklists for drought, earthquake, extreme cold and winter storms, extreme heat, flooding, hurricanes, tornado, tsunami, volcano, and wildfire. The option labeled Take Notes and Record Damage leads to a section that includes a generic damage assessment form, while Inform Incident Command includes ICS forms 213 and 214 (the General Message and Activity Log, respectively), as well as additional information on Incident Command. The section on additional planning info includes links to EPA webpages on emergencies/incidents, planning, response, and recovery, as well as to WARN and mutual aid info.
Some of the external links from the site are not formatted for mobile viewing, and the .pdf forms may require an Adobe Reader app if you wish to fill them out on your mobile device. However, the site overall is well organized and easy to navigate, and can be a great tool for utilities dealing with weather emergencies and natural disasters. For a visual overview of how the site works, see the EPA's video, below.

Every now and then around this time of year I post one of my photographs of a woman and her child to remind myself of the holy family's humanity. (Click here for one of the Bangladeshi madonnas).
The emphasis on divinity and religous iconography in the two-thousand or so years since the holy family walked the earth has a tendency to eclipse the reality of who they were. They were poor. For a period of time during Jesus's childhood they were wanderers or fugitives. At other times, they were a solid, salt-of-the-earth, working-class family.
And yet many believe that Jesus's words and deeds made him special. That he was an ordinary man with an extraordinary message. He said he was the son of God. Over the years this was taken to mean that he himself was divine. I wonder sometimes if it is possible that he was trying to say that we were all sons and daughters of God. That is to mean that he was not divine, but that we are all special or divine and capable of great love, great deeds and great sacrifice. Then I wonder if we would recognize such a prophet if we encountered him today.
The photo I chose this year is of a woman and her child who I met along the Tashkorgan highway earlier in the year. She is poor and a wanderer who sells amber and garnet jewelery and artifacts to tourists and travelers. For Tajik women, a fair complexion is most desired, but the trader's dark skin tells us that she spends a lot of time outside under the high-altitude sun. She is young and her beauty has not yet been marred by her harsh lifestyle. Her teeth are stained by high-mineral content ground water, a badge she will wear for the rest of her life. Her lovely, chubby baby is clothed in unmatched remnants, much like her mother, but she is happy and playing with a large chunk of milky yellow amber on a string.
So, I guess the point is that the madonna and her child is not a gold-encased painting in an alcove or on an altar or mantle in a private home, they are on earth all around us. The paintings are just representations, not of one particular mother and child pair but of every single one. Try to remember that the next time you encounter a poor, wandering family. They might have something important to say. (Words and photo of Tajik Madonna and Child by Laura Kelley).

Purdue bounced from Big Ten Tournament
Purdue's season came to an end Thursday night in the Big Ten Tournament.
Shavon Shields scored 19 points to lead Nebraska to a 57-55 win over the Boilermakers (15-17, 8-10 Big Ten) in Chicago. D.J. Byrd had 15 points and eight rebounds to lead Purdue.
Nebraska started the second half on a 9-0 run to turn a two-point lead into a 39-28 advantage and withstood a late push by the Boilermakers to come away with a surprising victory.
"I thought we really made some strides in the past couple weeks. Especially the start of the second half. We had a tough time getting going. We had a tough time with Shields in the first half, but we just didn't have any awareness to start the second half defensively. We had a couple simple breakdowns and we just weren't sharp," said head coach Matt Painter. "So that's disappointing. You play well, you play good versus some very good competition after struggling most of the Big Ten season, then you come out with a performance like this."
It was 54-53 after Purdue's D.J. Byrd made a 3-pointer with 40 seconds left. Nebraska's Ray Gallegos then made the first free throw and missed the second, but the Cornhuskers recovered the ball.
Ubel then hit the second foul shot after missing the first to make it 56-53 with 28.6 seconds left. Byrd put back a missed 3 by Ronnie Johnson to pull Purdue within one with 13 seconds left.
Gallegos then made 1 of 2 free throws to make it a two-point game. Terone Johnson, who finished with nine points, missed two shots from inside the lane that would have tied the game in the closing seconds.
"Nebraska played pretty well, they knocked down some shots. For us, it was just coming out kind of slow. We had four good possessions coming out in the second half, but then we had four where we turned the ball over or took a bad shot and you can't have those kinds of streaks when you're trying to make a run, especially since we got down early. But, you know, you just got to keep going, I guess," Byrd said.
Purdue shot only 50 percent (7 of 14) from the free throw line in the game.
Nebraska will face No. 10 Ohio State in the quarterfinals, while the Boilermakers head for the offseason.
"Just get motivated for next year. Just got to be better mentally. Stop the ball when we need stops and we've got to be able to score when we need to score," said Ronnie Johnson, who scored 10 points Thursday.

Aquascaping tools
Where is the best to get my hands on some curves sissors and some other aquascaping tools? I know GLA sells them but they are really expensive.
Check out Andrew Hill. Not sure if he still sells them but that's where I got my nice pair.
Ebai. Cheap but they work fine. And check out sewing scissors. That's where the nude curved style come from. We just re purposed them.
+1 for Andrew/Rumford Aquatics. He is a sponsor here I believe. Either way his tools are the best for the price by far.
+2 for Andrew Hill (Rumford Aquatics) same quality without the 300% markup.
angled scissors, long handled scissors, long tweezers, forceps, etc--cheapest place to get 'em is as veterinary or medical suppliers.
The exact same stainless steel 24" inch long "planting" tweezers that a dedicated aquarium supply house sells for 11.99, I found thru a medical supply house for $2.00.
Got my set from Andrew as well, I couldn't be happier.
Dont know about scissors (I just use a pair of coupon scissors) but I have these tweezers and love them
Andrew/Rumford Aquatics. Got mine sand leveler and wave scissors from him a few weeks ago. Couldn't be happier and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Quality stuff.

Samsung Series 9 900X3A laptop
The almost Ultrabook
Putting on a display
While it looks clear and bright, the 13.3in display's 1366 x 768 resolution is the same resolution as, for example, that packed into the latest MacBook Airs with an 11in display, and I've used 12.1in Wintel PC with a 1400 x 900 screen. So, having experienced much denser screens on smaller models, I wish manufacturers would up the resolution. But for now, the market evidently thinks differently and goes with colour saturation and brightness, not pixels.
A bright, non-glossy screen but a resolution increase is in order
Performance bombs along, despite the modest 1.6GHz Intel dual Core i5-2467M. As you'd expect, the 128GB SSD gives it a formidable kick. It was slightly perturbing to see such a small heat vent, but the machine didn't get hot. As far as graphics performance goes, it relies on the integrated Intel HD 3000 GPU, so the 3DMark6 score of 2078 was a fairly typical result.
Benchmark Tests
PCMark 7 Results
Longer bars are better
PCMark 7 Battery Life Results
Battery life in minutes
Longer bars are better
The 900X3A also pumps out terrific sound – well, for a laptop – in stereo, right into your thigh. Bizarrely, the excellent speakers are mounted underneath and towards the back of the laptop. It uses SRS to mangle the audio output (officially it's called an "Enhanced Echo Chamber") into a more expansive sound.

Canon Canada Helps Photo Enthusiasts Take Control 'Outside of Auto'
New website helps teach budding photographers to take creative control through the use of manual camera settingsMISSISSAUGA, ON, 24 January 2013 - Canon Canada Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today the launch of Canon.ca/OutsideOfAuto – an interactive website that encourages shutterbugs to take creative control of their photography with a basic understanding of exposure settings. Visitors to the site can manipulate the look of a photo by adjusting manual camera settings including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO.
An image of a bedroom with children's toys, including a model airplane with a moving propeller, is used to demonstrate how users can manipulate the "look" of their photo with simple adjustments that can change depth of field and how motion is captured.
Through exploration, users can learn to use Shutter Priority Mode to either freeze action or show motion, two dramatically different looks that can be applied to real life photo opportunities like amateur sporting events. Users can also experiment with Aperture Priority Mode, which is ideal for making the subject of a portrait stand out against a soft background blur or keeping the foreground, subject, and background sharp for dramatic landscape photos. Additionally, visitors can challenge themselves with full manual and take total creative control.
"We developed the Outside of Auto site as a first stop for people who are new to photography and want to experiment outside of a camera's automatic modes and learn how to take creative control of their photographs with a DSLR," said Ian Macfarlane, Senior Vice-President and General Manager, Imaging Technologies & Communications Group and Market Development Group, Canon Canada. "With this site, both amateur and intermediate photographers can learn how easy it is to take breathtaking photographs using manual camera settings."
The interactive website allows users to "learn" about the various features of a DSLR, "play" with the settings, and take a timed "challenge" to test their new skills:
• Learn: Where photographers can educate themselves about basic manual camera settings, the effects of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, and how these features impact exposure. There are also various tips for achieving different results, such as the ideal meter setting for a well-exposed shot and how it is best to use the lowest ISO possible.
• Play: Where users can play with the actual Canon camera simulator and experiment with the various manual settings. Each photo taken appears with feedback that guides the photographer through a range of camera effects.
• Challenge: Where photographers can test their skills and apply what they have learned. For example, one phase of the challenge directs users to "keep the shot sharp from the foreground to the background". Users would know to close the aperture down with a high f-stop number to get the best shot.
The site is now available at www.Canon.ca/OutsideOfAuto
High-res photos of the site are available to media upon request.

With a far-reaching history dating back to Roman times (then known as the Gauls - which we include as France here, and then, later, as the Franks), heroic French military exploits begin to cover thousands of years of warfare. The listing below showcases the various successes (and failures) of the French throughout their long-established existence - an existence that brought about the knight as the mounted chivalric warrior and produced military tacticians such as Joan of Arc and Napoleon Bonaparte. France's battlefield commanders would go on to earn military victories against many of the major principalities governing Europe and the Middle East during their respective time periods. Consider the words of first-hand accounts by those having visited the French frontlines of World War 1:
'...and a certain unconscious brutality of hurry and gesture in the men is related to their inexhaustible and extraordinary military courage. (...) Let a fool hate France.' - G.K. Chesterton
'The French soldiers are grand. They are grand. There is no other word to express it.' - Arthur Conan Doyle, A visit to three fronts (1916)
'Their business is war, and they do their business.' - R. Kipling, France at war (1915)
Note: While Franks actually represent the beginnings of both the French and German peoples (and, as such, their military victories are often claimed by both parties) we have included them in this listing of French Military Victories. A special thanks to of Pierre M and Nicolas C for their contributions to this section.

Bill May Require NYPD to Monitor Radiation Detectors
New York, NY —
The council's public safety committee postponed a vote on a bill that would require environmental monitors to have their radiation and biochemical detectors registered and approved by the NYPD.
REPORTER: The Bloomberg Administration says the steps are necessary to prevent false alarms and unnecessary public concern. But at today's hearing, Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer criticized the bill, saying it responds to a problem that does not exist.
STRINGER: There is no emergency. There aren't hundreds of people running around the borough testing everything. This is a fake emergency. It doesn't exist, and there is not a problem, let's not try to create one.
REPORTER: The chairman of the public safety committee, Queens council member Peter Vallone, postponed today's vote. He says he wants the council to narrow the scope of the administration's bill.

aureola, a wreath of light represented as encircling the brows of the saints and martyrs.
"It is the aureola which has stolen into my heart," thought Cristobal.
The balloon threw large shadows on this heap of clouds, and was surrounded as by an aureola.
The rays quivered everywhere in the air, and the aureola filled the world.
Sketches were structureless, as any aureola formed by stray sunlight grazing the moon might naturally be.
The child replied by a slight motion of the head; and the aureola trembled like sunlight on the water.
The captain of the aureola was greatly perturbed, and he promptly ordered his gig to be manned to take him to the Claverhouse.
The aureola, when enveloping the whole body, is generally oval or elliptical in form, but is occasionally circular or quatrefoil.
The master of the aureola was worn out with anxiety and want of rest, for his vessel had been ashore for forty-eight hours.
They are generally surrounded by an aureola known as the penumbra, and sensibly less luminous than the other portions of the orb.
early 13c., from Latin aureola (corona), fem. diminutive of aureus "golden" (see aureate). In medieval Christianity, the celestial crown worn by martyrs, virgins, etc., as victors over the flesh.
1650s, from Latin corona "crown, garland" (see crown (n.)).
corona co·ro·na (kə-rō'nə)
n. pl. co·ro·nas or co·ro·nae (-nē)
The crownlike upper portion of a body part or structure, such as the top of the head.
Plural coronas or coronae (kə-rō'nē)
