Listen to David Guetta on iHeartRadio
There's a reason why David Guetta takes over the main stage each year at Ultra - he is titanium!

Posted on behalf of David Dee, submitted to Charlie Goddard. This post is repeated in the 403.7032(2), F.S. 75% Recycling Goal section.
__________________________________________________ _______________
I wanted to give you a few preliminary comments about the new statewide recycling goal.
What are you trying to measure?
At the outset, DEP needs to decide what it wants to measure and why. Stated differently, what is the goal that we are trying to accomplish?
The current law/regulatory scheme tends to primarily focus on residential recycling. I suggest that we should focus on reducing the amount of material that is delivered to landfills, regardless of where the material originates and regardless of whether this goal is accomplished through recycling or waste diversion techniques. The goal should be expressed as a waste diversion goal, rather than a recycling goal.
More mandates and more encouragement/education are needed to promote recycling. In Collier County, we developed a mandatory recycling ordinance for commercial entities because more than half of the waste stream was generated by medium to large businesses, yet only about 6% of the waste was recycled. [We exempted small "mom and pop" operations.] Collier found that most or all of these businesses would save money under the new ordinance because the increased cost of recycling would be offset by reduced costs for waste disposal.
I believe a similar approach should be adopted statewide. The recycling requirements can be minimal, and increased later if that is deemed appropriate, but anything will be better than nothing (i.e., the current level of participation).
More funding for public education, especially in the schools, is needed in many communities. Teach the kids and they will shame their parents into participating.
Make all governmental entities responsible for achieving the new goal (not just counties). The current law imposes the recycling requirements on counties, but it does not give counties the authority to do anything to ensure success.
Any new program should apply to counties, but it also should impose the recycling goal and related mandates on cities, special districts, school boards, and the other governmental entities that have the ability to control recycling within their jurisdictions.
Expand the types of materials that will count toward the recycling goal. You cannot achieve the new goal unless you expand the list of materials that can be counted toward the recycling goal. If we count everything that is diverted from a landfill, we will count all of the yard trash and C&D debris that is used in a beneficial manner, rather than discarded.
Waste reduction techniques (such as WTE) presumably could be counted toward a waste diversion goal. Whether the DEP chooses to do so is a matter of policy for DEP.
Achieving a new goal is not likely to be accomplished unless the State aggressively pursues new and expanded recycling opportunities for C&D debris, ash residue from WTE (and perhaps electrical power plants), and garbage (i.e., food scraps and other organics). Identifying the best methods of creating/encouraging/mandating such opportunities will be the challenge.

A year after a public records request by The Tennessean, attorneys for the Tennessee Department of Children's Services on Friday handed over the final set of records detailing the deaths and near-deaths of children who have had brushes with the state child welfare system since 2009.
The 42 partially redacted cases handed over in Davidson County Chancery Court on Friday signal the newspaper's ongoing public records lawsuit against the embattled agency could be coming to a close. Yet both sides indicated there are unresolved issues — mainly involving costs — still being negotiated.
The two sides appeared before Chancellor Carol McCoy, who has overseen the release of 296 case files detailing suspected abuse, neglect and deaths of the state's most vulnerable children. DCS previously had fought the release of such records, arguing simultaneously that they were not public and that it would cost $55,000 for copies of those reports. The Tennessean led a coalition of media companies around the state in suing DCS in December to secure the case files' release.
But the agency on Thursday announced it would voluntarily provide at no cost records of cases after July 1, 2012, and going forward.
"It's going to be a part of their normal course of business," Janet Kleinfelter, attorney for DCS, said at the hearing.
McCoy called the development a "fortuitous event."
But still unresolved is what the state will do about its attempts to charge tens of thousands of dollars for the records originally requested by The Tennessean. DCS had reduced its estimates of those costs from $55,484 to $34,225, but McCoy ruled the agency could charge no more than 50 cents per page.
At Friday's hearing, Kleinfelter said she planned to file paperwork detailing costs incurred by the agency, possibly as a first step toward an appeal of McCoy's ruling.
The media coalition also could be seeking to recoup its costs in fighting the state agency in court. Robb Harvey, an attorney with the Nashville firm Waller, who represents media groups, said, "We are giving serious consideration" to demanding DCS pay attorney costs associated with the lawsuit.
McCoy held off on scheduling another hearing to give DCS and the media coalition time to resolve the cost issues outside court. The case will return to court if it isn't resolved in the next few weeks.

All Souls

Remember Your Loved Ones
There is nothing quite as comforting as prayer and knowing that, even after their death, we can still help those whom we loved during their earthly life.
On All Souls Day, we are reminded how each of us has been touched by death. We all have loved ones – family, friends, or neighbors – who have died. We are also reminded that in our sadness and grief, we can be strengthened through the knowledge that there is resurrection, through Christ.
We take comfort in remembering our loved ones through prayer and acts of mercy on All Souls Day. Through prayer, we reach out to those who died because we are assured by Jesus that through our Faith in Him we have the promise of eternal life. Through prayer and Mass offerings, we help usher our dear departed ones into Heaven.
I am inviting you to take a moment from the distractions of daily life to pray for your loved ones. Through prayer, you will be reaching out from earth to Heaven, and cherishing the loving memories of your departed ones.
Jesus said: "This is the will of my Father that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life and I will raise him up the last day."
On All Souls Day, I invite you to celebrate the promise of Jesus for eternal life, because only through Him may we overcome the grief and despair that may settle upon us. We are pilgrims on earth, but our journey is from death to life. We are called by Jesus to eternal life.
The night before His passion and death, Jesus also gave us our greatest prayer and holiest sacrifice. He gave us the Holy Mass. Won't you join the millions of Catholics around the world in offering Masses for the souls of the faithfully departed? Offering a Mass is a profound and wonderful gift for a loved one who has passed on, or even for an unknown soul who does not have family or friends to pray for him.
Though this day can bring us sadness and sorrow, and memories of our loved one's passing, it can also bring us strength, for we become closer to our faith and God as we pray for hope and salvation for our dearly departed.
On All Souls Day, many people choose to give to charities in memory of a loved one. Every gift that you make in response to this letter will go towards our special Mass Fund. Through this fund, we distribute Mass Stipends to poor priests around the world – from priests who serve the refugee camps in Northern Syria or the remote villages in Peru; to priests who choose to remain with their faithful even under constant threats to their lives. Bishop Johnson Akio Mutek of Torit, Sudan, was one of these dedicated religious. He was known as the "bishop with nine lives," because he survived so many attempts on his life. Yet he was never dissuaded from what was important – serving his people, saying Mass and being a symbol of faith to all he served.
Yes, your gift today, in memory of a loved one, will touch the lives of our priests who live in poverty and in dire need with the poorest and the most vulnerable; your generosity will help them continue to do God's work.
Thank you. Please remember when you return the enclosed card to list the names of loved ones who have passed; we will remember them in our prayers for the entire month of November.
May God bless you and the memory of those you love now and always.
Wishing you His comfort and peace,
P.S. How wonderful to know that through prayer, we can still help those whom we loved during their earthly life. And that, at the same time, poor priests will receive assistance, thanks to your generosity.

Click on the animation or illustrated series above to see how a normal vaginal birth proceeds. If the baby is not head first, (e.g., breech) it may need to be delivered by c-section.

Concerned about something I ate at work
I am 22 weeks pregnant with my first child. I usually don't eat in the cafeteria at my job but today I was really hungry and didn't have anything I wanted at home to bring with me. Anywho, I ate mixed veggies and had two bites of the lasagna. I stopped eating it once I realized that it was mad with ricotta cheese. I was going to ask the chief if it was baked with pasteurized cheese or not but he was no where to be found today. I have a very active baby girl and I am worried about contracting listeria. I can't contact my doctor until Monday. If I were to contract listeria is there anyway the doctor can test for it and treat it......if anything happens to her I would never forgive myself.

Hi Bri
You must be worried sick. It would take a stroke of exceptionally bad luck to contract listeria from a few bites of lasagna as the bacteria is rare.
Listeria is sensitive to heat. As such any listeria in the cheese in the lasagna would have been killed when it was baked. The greater risk with cafeterias is actually food being cooked and then kept warm for long periods under warming lights.
Reheated food should always be piping hot when served (to ensure all listeria bacteria is killed). For this reason, cafeteria food is generally best avoided. If you are left with no alternative, ask the staff to heat the hot portion of your meal in the microwave until it is piping hot before you eat it (let it cool enough not to burn your mouth obviously!)
This article will provide you with more info about avoiding listeria: Listeria and Pregnancy
I hope this post helps. Still check with your doctor tomorrow but rest assured the risk is low.
22nd June 2013 05:54 AM #3
Dear Bri,
I see you have had some excellent advice from Yvette above. I would like to second her advice: it is very rare to contract listeria in pregnancy. As you say, if the ricotta cheese was made from pasturised milk then it is safe to eat anyway.
It's great to hear that your baby is so active - this is something your doctor or midwife will ask you at your standard antenatal appointments.
Did you manage to see your doctor? I hope your doctor was able to put your mind at rest. Please try not to worry; remember how small the risk is of contracting listeria and it sounds like you try to be very careful anyway.
Best wishes for a happy pregnancy and special birth,

Just refrain yourself from suspicious foods during pregnancy. Make this a rule: If you are doubt, don't put it in your mouth.

Post subject: The President's Cacheside Chat Janurary 2008
My news year resolution was to start the fireside chats every month. Here it is the end of January and I have news for everyone.
Ill start with the plans to
overhaul the voting procedure
s. We are trying to implement an online voting procedure to eliminate the ongoing problem of getting enough people to have a legal election. We need to have a percentage of the total membership present at the fall event, either in person or by absentee ballot, to have a valid election. As you know, its been close several times and last year we didnt have enough votes to have a valid election. This will require a change to the MnGCA bylaws and an actual way of voting online.
The idea is for every eligible voting MnGCA member to be able to vote online. That would eliminate the problems of getting absentee ballots back and would allow people that cant make the fall event an easier way of voting.
News about the
Geocaching History Challenge
which is part of the State Park Sesquicentennial is next up. The second round of picks will be starting in the first week of February. I must say the State Parks are enthusiastic and getting behind the program as more details are being worked out. We will be contacting those that have volunteered for contact information so that the respective Park Managers can contact the geocachers to start the process.
If you know of people from your area that arent MnGCA members that would like to participate in the Geocaching History Challenge please encourage them to join the MnGCA or at the very least to contact me directly. The more people involved with this state wide project, the better.
We are going to start a
Monthly eNewsletter
. We are soliciting pictures from events. They dont have to be MnGCA events. Any photograph from an event anywhere in the world that a member attends is encouraged for inclusion in the eNewsletter. A quick note about the picture IS necessary.
Spring Event at Gooseberry Falls State Park
is moving forward with some great ideas from the Committee. The members of the Committee are doing a lot of fun things. This is going to be a great time thanks to the efforts of Cookie and crew. The Spring Event 2008 promises to be a lot of fun for everyone.
GeoNickel project
has officially started. Merkman has put a lot of time and effort in this and it shows. Look for the GeoNickels in caches.
There is going to be another
GeoTech Event
this year. Merkman is still in the planning stages. The last event was fantastic and with the feedback that merkman received the next one promises to be even better.
I want to apologize to everyone about
Breakfast Buddies
. It is my job to make sure that BBs get set up and posted so that people can make plans. Weve got the locations and dates picked for the Breakfast Buddies. Those will be posted on the MnGCA Main Page and as the events get set up the links will be added. That means you can count on a BB at the city and date and as the location gets approved and posted on geocaching.com the link will be updated here.
The last item is about the
2007 GeoCoin samples
that were generated during the process of getting that beautiful coin made. There were many ideas kicked around, some of which were giving them to members of the 2007 GeoCoin committee or giving them away at events. The board has decided to sell them on eBay. The board felt this would be the fairest way of giving coin collectors access to these non-trackable coins.
That is the end of this little note. Stay tuned for more news next month.

text: July 31, 2013 — At sunset, the Botanical Garden takes on a whole new persona; the hot haze of the day at its end gives way to a sweet summer's eve and envelops it in a magical amber glow. It's an exquisite time to explore, admire and enjoy. Mosaicultures Internationales provides a wonderful excuse to steal away for a stroll – and sunset is an ideal time. Some fifty majestic works of botanical art created by horticulturalists from 25 different countries are showcased along a winding 2.2-km circuit. Plan for a good two hours to really take it all in, plus a bit more to enjoy refreshments and live music afterwards. Music, tapas and cocktails in a beautiful garden at dusk…what better way to finish your tour? "4-8, Cocktail Time at the Garden" graces the Botanical Garden's restaurant terrace on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays all summer long. The musical agenda is varied, ranging from traditional French chansons to Gypsy Jazz to Celtic music to sounds from around the world, including Brazil, East Africa and the Middle East. From there, why not hop on the shuttle to the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium for some high-tech star gazing? Two spectacular presentations will take you to the stars and beyond: Continuum carries you through the splendours of space, while De la Terre aux étoiles catapults you light years away from Earth into the deepest reaches of outer space! In the evening as during the day, you'll undoubtedly agree that Montréal's Space For Life is absolutely breathtaking!

text: Josie Cunningham is 23 and is 18 weeks pregnant. She is also an escort and has a soccer player boyfriend. She has no idea who the father of her baby is, but wants to abort the baby so she can appear on Big brother UK. To me, she has already achieved her 15 minutes of fame with the announcement. Do you think the producers of the show should get flak for not wanting her on the show pregnant?

'Dineen met with Regier early last week in Syracuse, N.Y. — halfway between Buffalo and Dineen's summer home in the Adirondack mountains –for more than five hours. Regier said Dineen was the only candidate for the Portland job after Cunneyworth departed. After the meeting, Regier decided to hire Dineen.'
Archives for August 2008
Familiar face in a familiar place
Sabres retain Dineen as AHL Portland coach
'Sabres general manager Darcy Regier cites Dineen's coaching record in his three previous seasons with the Pirates, his ability to develop talent and familiarity with the Maine-based team in the announcement Tuesday. The AHL's 2006 coach of the year, Dineen has a 135-76-13 record with Portland.'
Pirates introduce Dineen as coach
'"It's been an exciting couple of weeks," Dineen said. "It took a lot of patience to hold out and let things play out in the proper way."'
Dineen named Pirates Head Coach
'Pirates Managing Owner/CEO Brian Petrovek said, "This selection of Kevin Dineen as head coach expresses the Sabres' commitment to putting together an exciting, winning team. Our fans have seen Kevin's intensity and competitiveness, and also, his achievements over the past three seasons, and can expect more of the same moving forward. We're just thrilled to welcome him back."'
Dineen to coach in Portland
'There also were indications Monday that former defenseman Eric Weinrich, who spent 17 seasons in the NHL, would be hired as an assistant under Dineen.'
Dineen will stay to coach Pirates
'"I'll be there (at the press conference)," Dineen said Monday night. "I'm excited about this opportunity."'
Sabres sign pair of free agents
'Buffalo Sabres GM Darcy Regier announced today the Sabres have signed a pair of unrestricted free agent forwards: RW Colton Fretter and LW Colin Murphy.'
Dineen To Remain Coach of Pirates
'…the Pirates' new parent team, the Buffalo Sabres, has offered the position to Dineen, and he's accepted. He will be formally introduced at a news conference in Portland tomorrow.'
Sabres hope patient approach yields more dividends
'Year after year, the Sabres bring up young players for a few games, then return them for more seasoning. Right wing Mark Mancari, left wing Marc-Andre Gragnani and defensemen Mike Weber and Mike Funk are among the prospects who have gotten a taste of the NHL. Clarke MacArthur (56 games) and Patrick Kaleta (47 games) no longer have NHL rookie status, but are other examples of players the Sabres have brought along slowly and who more than likely will wear the Buffalo uniform this season.'

Veterans Day 2003
Message From the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Veterans Day is a solemn day to honor and recognize all who have served our Nation in war and in peace. This year, hundreds of thousands of our men and women in uniform and Department of Defense civilians have the distinction of serving in wartime. Counted among them is the largest number of reservists and guardsmen activated since the Korean War.
The War on Terrorism is like no other war we have ever fought and it is far from over. We will prevail, but it will require our patience, our full commitment, and the will to win against an enemy who tries to create fear and destroy freedom.
We have seen tremendous displays of courage, dedication and sacrifice to defeat the terrorists who are targeting the United States and our allies with hatred and intolerance. This tradition of outstanding service links this newest generation of Veterans to the lives and legacies of those who have served and defended our Nation with honor and dedication during previous times of threat.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff and I join our fellow Americans in paying tribute to all of our Veterans, the sacrifices they have made and the courage they have displayed in defending freedom and security around the world.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

I made another great find at the SuperZoo Pet Expo back in September and I've been looking forward to sharing this one with you. The Smart Cat Box is in my opinion one of the very best natural litter systems on the market. I met the inventor, Sarah Maguire, President of Providence House Manufacturing and immediately understood that she is completely dedicated to creating an alternative cat litter box that is healthier for you and your cat and better for the environment.
The Smart Cat Box is the original patented two-part litter box. You may have seen another two-part box from a large manufacturer recently. This other two part-box uses plastic pellets and replaceable pads, both items that require repeat purchases (see my Litter Locker review to read about how happy refill purchases make me.) This other box has been getting good reviews, but I want you to know about the Smart Cat Box and why I think it is a much better choice.
The Smart Cat Box uses all-natural, non-absorbent litter pellets and a patented two-part box design to separate solid and liquid waste. The top portion of the box holds natural safflower seed litter that allows urine to pass through the slotted floor into a covered urine collection reservoir below. Solids can be easily scooped from the litter pellets and liquids are disposed of by emptying the reservoir. By separating solid and liquid waste and containing urine in a covered reservoir, the Smart Cat Box dramatically reduces unwanted odors.
Healthy for Cats & People
Recent concern about the dangers of using clay and clumping cat litters that contain silica and sodium bentonite has caused consumers to seek out natural litter alternatives. The safflower seed litter used in the Smart Cat Box is completely natural and safe for both cats and humans.
Collecting liquid waste separately also allows cat owners to easily test blood sugar levels in urine for diabetic and special needs cats. This feature of the Smart Cat Box makes it an excellent tool for both cat owners and veterinarians who need to regularly monitor a cat's health.
Healthy for the Environment
Traditional clay litters have a negative impact on the environment on both ends of the lifecycle since clay litter is a non-renewable resource that is gathered by strip mining and it never biodegrades when placed in a landfill. The safflower seed litter used in the Smart Cat Box is made from a renewable resource that is fully biodegradable and is grown in the U.S.
I am currently testing the Smart Cat Box and so far, so good. The reservoir is very easy to empty and the cats seem to like the safflower seed pellets. I added on the extender walls (shown below) to give the sides of the box a little more height to prevent litter from being kicked out. The pellets are completely dust free and I imagine if there is an issue with odor that sprinkling a little Odorzout over the seeds would take care of it.
One lucky winner is going to receive a free Smart Cat Box starter kit which includes the box, a 5 lb bag of safflower seed litter and a scoop. To enter, please leave a comment on this post and be sure to include your email address in the email field. All entries must be received by midnight on Friday, November 14. The winner will be selected in a random drawing on Saturday.

Counties represented by Battle of the Belts-participating schools.
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for American teenagers. In fact, teens have the highest fatality rate in motor vehicle crashes than any other age group. They have the lowest safety belt use rates of all drivers. This rate is even lower when there are multiple teens in the vehicle.
The Battle of the Belts program was initiated in an effort to change these statistics and increase safety belt use amongst teenagers. The goal of the campaign is for high school students to convince their peers to always wear their safety belts. Student organization like S.A.D.D. or student government associations were asked to create a unique campaign for their high school to encourage fellow students to wear their seat belts during every ride in a motor vehicle.
Award categories in each county include 1) highest seat belt use, 2) most improved seat belt use, 3) best school campaign, 4) best public service announcement, 5) best poster, and 6) best essay.

Andy Franks
A graduate of Appalachian State University, I spent the first part of my career teaching. This gave me a the skills to guide architects and owners through the process of developing solid GKD systems solutions. I've worked on a vast array of projects from Park Square at Doral to New World Symphony in Miami and the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. For me there are no two projects alike and that's perfect.
Jeff Abbott
Training in the U.S. Air Force, real estate and sales gave me a great foundation for my work at GKD. Over the past seven years, I have enjoyed the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and with a number of architects. Some of the stand outs include Yankee Stadium, Piper High School in Kansas City, the Mall of America. My first priority is to guide and support customers through the specification, ordering and installation process.
Shawn Crismond
A degree in visual and performing arts as well as a background in mechanics and construction has been just the blend of skills needed for my role in GKD sales and tech service. This allows me to appreciate the architect's vision while understanding the "nuts and bolts" of how a project can be executed to help preserve and protect that vision. During my six years at GKD, I have worked on a range of projects including the Chicago Art Institute, Eastern Michigan University, the University of California Davis Medical Center and the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9 TV dated December 7th, 2011
My brother, then that means that you are being dragged into your trouble. I mean does that have any other meaning? Even if you did all those to a person, what would that person do? For instance you are inviting that person to a feast, the man comes and eats your food, crushes your plates and the table and leaves. Not a "thanks", not a nice wish. Would you then invite him over again? That is why Allah threatens us.
[Surat al- Isra' ; 19] "But as for anyone who desires the Hereafter, and strives for it with the striving it deserves, being a believer, the striving of such people will be gratefully acknowledged," says Allah.
[Surat al- Isra'; 20] ''We sustain each one, the former and the latter, through the generous giving of your Lord" So that means Allah says; 'we will give to those who ask for this world; and We also give increasingly to those who ask for the Hereafter and for this world at the same time' ".. and the giving of your Lord is not restricted," says Almighty Allah.
[Surat al- Isra'; 21] "Look how We favour some of them over others," says Allah. For instance Allah deems some rich and some poor, insha'Allah. "But the Hereafter has higher ranks and greater favours" That is amazing, there are also ranks in the Hereafter, yet the people there are not aware of that. For instance they are at the same environment of the Heaven but this one takes a greater joy. "Hereafter has higher ranks and greater favours," says Allah for the ranks of Hereafter. That is very much important, the ranks in the Hereafter. For instance I do love you all now, and the pleasure that I feel is really very great because I am aware of your value, I do appreciate your existence, I sense your intelligence, I sense your personality. But for instance let us think of a unwise person, he might only be affected by another person very superficially, his point of view would be very plain, very ordinary. But the impact of that on a person who knows to love passionately and deeply would be very very high, insha'Allah.
Ms. EBRU: The love you feel for us pours from your eyes into our souls, masha'Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Alhamdulillah, Masha'Allah. Alhamdulillah.
[Surat al- Isra' ;22] "Do not set up any other god together with Allah and so sit there reviled and forsaken." What does setting up other gods together with Allah? The man takes this world as a god, then this world suffocates him. He is left alone in this giant world and starts to suffer immensely. That is because he has left Allah, then he would be left alone despite of all the people in the world, insha'Allah.
[Surat al- Isra' ;23] "Your Lord has decreed that you should worship none but Him, and that you should show kindness to your parents." This for instance is an important act of worship. To show kindness to the parents. If they do not interfere with your religion with your faith, if they do not meddle with your faith and your religion, if they do not interfere with your relation with your Muslims sisters/brothers, if they do not interfere with your beliefs, showing love to the parents, showing interest and kindness to them is an important act of worship, it is an act of worship just like performing prayers, just like fasting. I mean the time spared for that is well-spent, the money spent on that is well-spent. Whatever needed would be done.

Income Gains Fuel Consumer Spending
Deloitte research shows consumers thinking about increasing holiday budgets.By Stacy Straczynski
NEW YORK -- Retailers will be giving thanks this Thanksgiving for consumers gaining some extra green. According U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis' latest monthly report, income increases of $45.7 billion (0.2 percent) in October reflected a 0.7 percent increase in consumer spending.
The income uptick, albeit modest, marks the second consecutive month of gain (up 0.2 percent in September 2009). It reverses the 0.6 percent dip previously experienced in September due to the cessation of the "Cash for Clunkers" stimulus.
Retailers may very well be able to expect the spending increases to continue going into the holiday season, per recent research from Deloitte on consumer sentiment surrounding holiday spending. The study, which focused on Black Friday and Cyber Monday buying plans, found that many consumers (30 percent) are rethinking their original holiday spending plans and looking to spend more.
Eighty-six percent plan to spend more on gifts than first budgeted for. Almost half (44 percent) of consumers reported plans to shop over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, with 68 percent planning to visit stores, 46 percent expecting to shop online and 31 percent reporting that they will do both.
According to Nielsen data, traffic to sites offering Black Friday sales jumped 87 percent to 7.0 million unique visitors during the week ending Nov. 15. Total minutes spent on deal sites increased by 763 percent over the four-week period ending Nov. 15. Top online retailers included Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy.

St. Alban Climbing
David Austin Recommended Variety
A beautiful rose at all stages of its development. As the blooms open, we
have a lovely rounded globular bud, within which we can catch glimpses of
numerous folded petals. Gradually they unfurl until we have an attractive
shallow cup filled with numerous petals. The colour commences as a rich
yellow, gradually tending towards a soft yellow. This is not a very formal
flower-just a pretty arrangement of petals.
The growth is the kind we so much favour - an arching shrub, holding the
numerous branches with nicely poised flowers. Plenty of luxurious foliage
with excellent disease- resistance.
It has a pleasing fresh scent that is hard to define, but has been
described as similar to the fragrance we experience when we walk into a
florists' shop.
We have named this rose in honour of the Royal National Rose Society,
which was founded in 1876 and was the first Society of its kind. Over the
years it has been at the centre of all matters to do with roses and has done
so much good work. Five percent of the proceeds from this rose will go to
the Society. 4 ft. x 3.5 ft. (1.2 x 1.0m) or 8 ft. (2.5m) as a climber.

Reviewed By Dean L (Sun City West, AZ) Reviewed for a 1992 Porsche 911 —4/25/2016 9:15 PM
My 24 year old Porsche 964 steering wheel is/was in a sorry, faded state from sun exposure (it's a Cabriolet). I searched for a replacement wheel from several dismantlers to no avail, so I decided to give a Wheelskin cover a try. I watched the Wheelskin installation video several times before tackling the job, which was a big payoff for me since I was a real rookie at this task. I think the install went great, looks great and took many years off the appearance of my car's interior.

EDINBURGH -- The Scottish government's ban on vending cigarettes and their open display in retail shops has been delayed in a challenge by Imperial Tobacco Group that will be heard by the Supreme Court in November.
Scottish ministers argue that banning the open display of cigarettes will help protect future generations from the health risks of smoking. They had planned to introduce the display ban in April.
Imperial Tobacco (Bristol, England), which sells Lambert & Butler and Richmond cigarettes in Britain, says there is no credible evidence that display bans have reduced tobacco consumption or smoking by young people in the few countries where they've been introduced.
Imperial lost its appeal of the United Kingdom's prohibition of cigarette vending in July 2011 | SEE STORY. However, its implementation has been delayed by further appeal proceedings by the tobacco giant.
The civil case, which opposes both the display and cigarette vending bans, will now come before five Supreme Court judges on Nov. 12.
The UK's smoking ban in public places, including restaurants and taverns, went into effect in July 2007.

Justice is No Lady: Chapter 9 – Terrorists, Far and Near
Warning: This story series contains descriptions of physical abuse.by Tess WilloughbySeptember 11, 2001. This dark day united all Americans in horror, in terror, and in pain.With at least one exception: Nate Willoughby.I found out that our country had been attacked using our own commercial aircraft when my mother called me from town and said, "Turn on the news." Her tone of voice suggested the worst of the worst of the worst: so awful that you didn't ask "what channel?" because it didn't matter what channel. The president had been assassinated. There was some horrific, unthinkable natural disaster, probably in Virginia. Something so bad she couldn't say it.I hung up, t … [Read more...]

That's not the way I remember it. I remember two things: being very ill and being very angry. After the lingeré bonfire, Nate kept his sickly, irate wife very busy listening to his sermons on forgiveness, doing unpaid paralegal work (he set up his new firm at home with the clients stolen from his former boss), getting through Christmas on a shoestring, overhauling our finances, and going to marriage counseling wi … [Read more...]

Our pastor, Mike, and our assistant pastor, Randy, both expressed concern about me.I was pregnant for the seventh time, and I dreaded another pregnancy, birth, and recovery.

Justice is No Lady: Chapter 4 ~ Second Prison Break and the Norfolk Years
Warning: This story series contains descriptions of physical abuse.by Tess WilloughbyIt was 1995. Nate's grandmother's basement was orange. It was wallpapered in a fifties motif with little vinyl record albums. My husband, the newly minted Christian attorney, had been in this basement on his laptop computer, hooked up to the internet, for six months.I sat and looked out the basement window, the bottom of which was level with the dirt, and begged Nate for the thousandth time to disconnect and spend some time with his wife and three babies. Nate would come out of the basement only for food, sex (I had the wrong lingeré still), evening TV, and excursions to the grocery store. And to sleep … [Read more...]

Feeding the Big AppleJune 30, 2012
The Mets run a program called "Feeding the Big Apple" where they team up with a number of companies to fight hunger throughout New York. According to Mets.com:
Before every Friday home game at Citi Field throughout the 2012 season, fans can participate in "Feeding the Big Apple" by dropping off food donations at the City Harvest or Island Harvest truck next to the Home Run Apple on Mets Plaza outside the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.
Here are some pics I snapped before the game on Friday June 15, 2012. To learn more about this program go here.

Does diapers causes UTI ( Urinary Tract Infection)
Being over my golden age my exposure to this latest use of diapers is minimal. As far as I can recall, it was during my first baby was born 1992 that this commercial diapers were introduced and I was born and exposed to cloth diapers.
I love using the cloth diapers since it it economical and more practical for me. My questions is:
Does the use of this commercial diapers or nappies makes the baby prone to urinary tract infections? Is this a myth or a fact?
This has been said by a lot of people maybe not medically equipped ones but seems a lot of kids and babies now suffer from this infection. Some views on this please!

I don't know for a fact but I would imangine that this could be true and it could even happen with cloth diapers I suppose. I am someone who has had MANY UTI infections beginningwhen I was a young girl. I was told not to take baths, especially bubble baths, to wear only cotton underwear, not to use toilet paper or anything that might contain perfumes or dyes, and always wipe front to back. Since germs and bacteria are what cause UTIs it makes sense that it could happen from wearing commerical nappies and the chemicals that are contained in them. However, I think it could happen with cloth diapers as well. If stool some how enters the urethra (such as a child sitting in a soiled nappy) this can cause a UTI because of the germs contained in the stool. Not a pretty image I know but I think pretty accurate.
Not getting enough fluids can be another reason someone gets a UTI or "holding" the urine in for too long can cause bacteria to grow.
Hope that helps.

On my opinion, I think the use of nappies can sometimes cause Urinary Tract Infection since the urethra of the baby is exposed to urine or stool. Mostly, female babies are much affected than the male because the length of a girl's urethra is shorter than of a boy. It is important to change the nappies once you notice that it is starting to get soaked with urine. Also, don't allow too much exposure to stool. It is said that UTI is caused mainly by bacteria, thus we should maintain the cleanliness of our baby's genitals. It is still important to be aware since it is a baby that we are dealing with.

If a disposable nappy is causing a UTI more often than a cloth nappy, my guess would be that babies who are in cloth nappies are changed more often than babies in disposable nappies thus making the chance of bacteria entering the urethra much lower in babies who are in cloth nappies.
Something that can be helpful in avoiding a UTI in an infant is to give them a probiotic, like powdered acidophilus. If it's a child who is on solid foods, you can mix the probiotic powder into unsweetened applesauce.
For older children, there are chewable cranberry supplements and for those who can swallow pills, there is cranberry concentrate which can be very helpful in resolving a UTI quickly, without antibiotics.
Of course just keeping the immune system high (avoiding sugar, simple carbohydrates, eating whole grains and lots of fresh vegetables and fruit) can reduce the chance of getting a UTI simply because if the bacteria enters the urethra, the body will be able to fight it off before it takes hold and multiplies, causing an infection.

In my own opinion, yes diapers cause UTI. 5Homebirths4Kate is right that disposable diapers cause more UTIs since they don't get changed often because they abosrb much liquids without us noticing. And once the wet diaper remains unchanged for a long period of time, it gives the bacteria the chnace to grow and multiply. They favor moist, wet places. And they can go into the urethra of the child. Baby girl are more prone to this.

I have never had any problems related to UTIs with disposable nappies/diapers.
There is a UTI factsheet here from The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne. It has some interested information on UTIs. It states that they are particularly common in children who wear nappies but are not related to washing or changing routines.
