A book titled Gravity could be about anything, because, it could be argued, gravity is in, of and about everything. Thankfully, Clegg mainly limits his focus to the history of the metaphysical understanding we have of gravity (in the sense of gravity as it exists throughout the universe), otherwise, the subject would require an encyclopedia to cover it all.
For the average layman not actively pondering how it is that an apple heads toward the ground and not the sky when its stem loosens and breaks, the concept of gravity seems to occupy roughly the same place in the shadows of their understandings as does the concept of love. Both are attractive forces. Both are powerfully determinative of the course their lives will take. Both have something of a mystical quality. And not much of anyone understands either one, which is as true about the layman as it is about those who actually have pondered how it is that apples fall towards the earth and not toward the sky.
We know almost nothing of gravity, except that it exists. We have quantified a few of its effects, most usefully through Newton. We know nothing of its causes. To his credit, Clegg doesn't try to pretend otherwise.
Gravity is not a physics book of the celebrity physicist genre (Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku, et al), written to an audience already awed by the vast capabilities of our very big brains to resolve, in due time and with massive particle-smashing toys generously provided by taxpayers, all the mysteries of the universe. It seems rather more directed to the average guy who has reached a stage of life where he seeks to resolve some of life's mysteries, which is to say, it seems like it's written for a guy like me. As a primer on the history of how we arrived at our present understanding of gravity, the book is excellent. Clegg writes in clear, concise, jargon-free prose. He does not shy away from explanations which involve some mathematics, but understands how to translate mathematical equations to linguistically resolvable relationships. And he demonstrates a clear mastery of the subject, so far as such a thing is possible, capably relating what we know and what we don't know about gravity. He is not afraid to step on some celebrity physicist toes in explaining the latter, as the following passage, concerning whether general relativity can predict the big bang, illustrates:
Take the big bang. Go far enough back in time, close enough to the big bang itself, and you are dealing with a purely quantum phenomenon. Yet it's one where gravity is an essential component. Without being able to combine the two [quantum and relativity theory, as Clegg previously explained were incompatible] it is impossible to say anything meaningful about the big bang itself.
Just think about that statement. Next time you see a TV special on which a celebrity scientist is pontificating about the big bang as if it were solid fact, you will know better. The big bang is an idea that emerges from a theory that doesn't work at that scale. Without quantum gravity, we can't say what happened at the big bang or even if it existed at all. The only certainty is that our current scientific models fail. Entirely. The same goes for the singularities at the heart of black holes, not to mention some of the more exotic concepts of cosmology like negative energy and wormholes.
What a breath of fresh air. The celebrity physicists, all devotees of Einstein, the original celebrity physicist of the modern, mass-communications age, would shriek in horror, rail in derision at the simple idea that without an understanding of the quantum effects of gravity, we don't have a clue as to what happened at the big bang, or even if it happened. This is good and powerful stuff. Too good and powerful, no doubt for the glad-hearted physicists who try to sell the world on how effectively their big brains have resolved the mysteries of the universe, but quite the right perspective for one who is unwashed in the Einstein catechism who simply wants to understand what we know and what we don't.
From these two paragraphs expressing Clegg's flawless logic and command of the subject matter, it should be clear that what we know about gravity is vastly less than what we don't know, no matter how much speculation disguised as knowledge we've been fed by physicists whose celebrity is made possible through the medium of mass communications. If gravity can't be explained at its most fundamental level, do we really know much of anything about it? (Aside perhaps from Newton's conclusion drawn from observing large, slow planetary objects, that gravity, at least for them, varies in direct proportion to mass and in inverse proportion to distance–the more mass, the more gravitational pull; the further apart are two objects, the less gravitational pull). Newton's conclusions, never mind Einstein's, don't work at the quantum level, the most basic level of reality.
Perhaps the gravity of massive objects is an emergent quality, not predictable by simply adding up its effects at the quantum level. Perhaps there is a synergy to massiveness. Or perhaps, as is the case in our understanding of living processes, there are so many forces of so many varying magnitudes acting on such various amounts of matter and energy that predicting what might happen at the aggregate level from what is observed of the quantum is beyond the pale of human comprehension. Gravity is mystical, but not because it is magical, instead because it is so complex.
Physicists do not like the idea of action at a distance, part of what gives gravity its apparently mystical quality. Baruch Spinoza, a metaphysical philosopher of the 17th century, and therefore a rough contemporary of Newton (though it is not clear that the two were much aware of each other), though more concerned with the ethical nature of humanity than the intricacies of the physical world, believed that nothing moved except that it was propelled to motion by another body, a view echoing his immediate Rationalist predecessor, Descartes', sentiments. Gravity seemed to reach across distances and move without touching—action at a distance—a revolting idea for those attempting to show, as were Spinoza and Descartes, that mysticism, particularly of the religious variety, could not be used to explain the operation of the universe.
Newton was less concerned with the nature of gravity than with its effects, and by careful observation was able to quantify its effects so capably that NASA still employs Newtonian physics to calculate the trajectory of its space craft. For Newton, whether or not the effects constituted action at a distance was less important than what the effects were. He simply assumed there was something physical transmitting the force across the heavens. Eventually the assumption that gravity must be transmitted through some physical medium gave rise to the notion of an ether, a medium filling space through which gravity, light and everything else propagated, like sound waves.
Einstein did not like the notion of an ether grown up around Newtonian physics, so set about to destroy it, and did so, first with his Special Theory of Relativity, which proposed, among other things, that the imagined ether did not affect the speed of light, which was proved correct. Next by his General Theory of Relativity, which incorporated gravity (accelerated motion) into the framework of a universe where light speed is the absolute upper limit of velocity. But the General Theory fashioned the universe into a fabric Einstein called space-time, which gravity bent to cause the effects seen of it. And when empirical evidence later showed the universe to be expanding at an expanding rate, the effect could only be explained by assuming the existence of an ethereal-like entity, dark energy, driving its expansion.
By my reckoning, Newton explained the effects of gravity as precisely and usefully as was humanly possible, which is amazing when it is considered that he did so by crude observations with only rudimentary tools. Einstein tried to extend the understanding of gravity by eliminating the need for an ether, or for the eerie action-at-a-distance mysticism that gravity seemed to imply without it, by making light the yardstick of the universe, combining time with the three dimensions of space to comprise an entity that gravity bends. (But how can space-time get bent? To bend something requires that along some plane it is otherwise straight, and both concepts (bent or straight) imply there is a shape, but having a shape requires a formlessness (a background akin to an ether) from which it might arise, and if the formlessness is comprised of the very space-time that gets bent, what is left then to compare and tell that space-time is bent or straight?)
Einstein's attempt to explain everything (which he anyway didn't, as General Relativity does not work at the quantum level) by using light speed as a universal speed limit instead created more questions than answers, even if, theoretical physicists haven't minded drawing conclusions on the history of the universe, and the very nature of reality, based on his General Theory of Relativity, even where the theory fails, rendering nonsensical answers. Though Einstein was hardly such a devotee of the physics academy when he devised General Relativity, the physics academy is now devoted to him. Einstein became the face of the new age of physical awareness and understanding, of the notion that mankind could figure out anything about the world around him by just thinking hard enough about it, which was precisely the method he used in devising the theory. He had no empirical science upon which to peg his imaginings. Yet his theory so simply and elegantly (if quite complicatedly mathematically) seemed to explain everything above the quantum layer, and seemed to be proved by dint of some photographic plates of star images taken on a cloudy day during a solar eclipse, that his mad scientist visage soon enough came to represent all that could be accomplished by the simple application of human genius.
Clegg points out that the most fruitful explanation for gravity may one day arise through investigations at the quantum level, which seems about right. Quantum-level discoveries have done far more practical good for humanity than anything derived from General Relativity. Nothing of modern chemistry, biology, electronics, metallurgy, hydrography, geology etc., would be possible without the understanding quantum theory has provided of the very small. General Relativity helps keep our navigation satellites from losing accuracy too quickly, and that's about it. Relativity theory could be abandoned tomorrow and the human experience would not appreciably change, except perhaps in a philosophical sense, as for some of a more materialistic theological bent, it provides an explanation of mankind's place and purpose in the universe of space and time.
The standard example used to explain how gravity acts under General Relativity is to liken space to a trampoline, with a large bowling ball at its center, representing a massive object like a star, and then to observe the action of a small object, like a BB, placed on the trampoline's surface. Obviously, the BB will roll towards the bowling ball. The curvature in the trampoline's surface caused by the bowling ball is something how space-time is supposed to bend in the presence of a massive object. But there is no analogous surface to a trampoline, flat and bounded all around, in space-time. Massive objects in the universe are nearly always spherical, and according to Newton's observations, emanate a gravitational pull in direct proportion to their size, which rapidly fades with distance. How does all the space-time around them get curved? If one particular massive object is curving space-time around itself, how does that affect the curvature of space-time around other objects? How does the fabric of the universe not end up a jumbled mess, like a pile of dirty towels in a heap on the floor?
Imagining that time is intricately related to space is not, however, all that hard, though Clegg claims some difficulty with the notion on his first exposure to the concept. Simply put, variations in space define time; without them, there would be no time, there would be just eternity, which is not infinite time, but the absence of time altogether. Every single moment is different from the next because every single moment the entire universe of spatial configuration changes, if only just a little bit. As I type this sentence, the earth is spinning on its axis, the moon is circling the earth, the earth is traversing its orbit, the sun is spinning and also orbiting the Milky Way, and etc. Nothing about the spatial arrangements of matter and energy that obtained in the moments I just spent typing can ever be completely and identically recreated. Some aspect will be different—everything is in constant flux—spatial relationships are inherently transitory, giving rise to time.
Consider one of those working models of the solar system you see in high school science classes, where turning a crank makes the planets, through mechanical linkages, orbit the sun, a more or less proper representation of how things actually happen. Except that "time" in the model continually cycles back to the same place. Start rotating the crank, and don't stop until the planets are back in the place where you started, and that particular spatial configuration will appear to be identical to the original configuration from where you started. To someone who observed the arrangement before and after the crank was turned, but unwittingly dozed off during the turning, time for the miniature solar system stood still. They could imagine there had been no passage of time, or an eternity of it, because nothing of the spatial relationships changed. But the real solar system doesn't operate quite like that. There is no time when the real solar system isn't itself traveling through space. There is no time when the planets of the real solar system travel in exactly the same orbits at exactly the same speed with exactly the same rotational velocity around their axes as a time before. The real solar system never recreates the exact spatial arrangements. Every spatial arrangement of every single moment, is different. Time is a product of spatial relationships. We could time travel if we could identically recreate spatial relationships, but we can't, and the impossibility has nothing to do with the speed of light. Every point in time is unique because every point in space is only ever visited once.
(It seems therefore that time is an analog concept. But that may not be the case at is tiniest scales. Planck's constant, the smallest divisible space of which we are aware, is perhaps the foundational unit of a fully digitized time that only appears analog from our perspective, a matter for another day. )
It is clear that gravity affects time, as time is a by-product of ever-fluctuating spatial relationships, and gravity, understood as a force, shapes those spatial relationships. But that's about all I am willing to admit is conclusively known of the relationship.
It seems to me, though Clegg does not specifically articulate as much, that the main impediment to furthering our understanding of gravity, and by implication, the entire universe, is General Relativity. It has been proved true in some limited domains, but we know that it is not capable of explaining things at their most fundamental level. And it is possible that some other "hidden variable" captured by General Relativity explains its ability to correctly predict some outcomes. Even so, the premises upon which it is founded are considered sacrosanct.
For instance, there can be no questioning of whether light truly is the fastest thing in the universe, traveling at the same speed for all observers all the time, though nothing about the premise is conclusively provable, not even if nothing can be shown to have exceeded it. In a universe of infinite possibilities, proving that something does not exist is impossible. Gravity might not "travel" at all, being in all places at all times, knowing all things about the massiveness of every bit of matter and energy at once. But as we know its effects to decline according to the inverse square rule, there is no way to test the speed of gravity—its effects would decline so quickly with distance as to be too negligible to detect. You can't simply place a massive object somewhere to study how long it took for its gravitational pull to arrive at another location.
Ironically, it will take someone who has the same brilliance of insight and disregard for the academy as Einstein to usurp Einstein and bring forth a keener human understanding of gravity. Newton was an empiricist in his science and a mystic in his theology. Einstein was a mystic in his science and an empiricist in his theology. Whoever finally extends the understanding of gravity in a way that can account for its apparent action at a distance, and its apparent immediacy and constancy in the manner with which it shapes space and therefore time, will need to be both an empiricist and mystic in their science, which will by extension make of them the greatest of natural philosophers and theologians the world has ever seen.

Tina Cannon Christianson
My name is Tina Christianson. I was born in Gardena, Calif and moved to Gardnerville, Nevada in 1996. I relocated to Reno in 2002 where I currently live. My mom is full blooded Portuguese and was born and raised in Maui.
I grew up in a home that had so much aloha that it flooded the hearts of everyone who knew us. I also was fortunate enough to grow up next door to a Samoan family from which I learned all the customs and and developed a love for the Samoan culture. Our two families blended together to make one big ohana and we are all still close to this day.
Since moving from Gardena, I have missed the feeling of aloha, ohana, and just the love of life that is felt in all multicultural islanders. I feel so blessed to have found my new ohana here in Reno and to be a part of sharing and teaching the spirit of aloha with everyone.

One touch will start and stop the unit. What's more, you can cut into the can without any sharp edges after, avoiding any cuts yourself. Keep dirty lids out of your food with the magnet on top and watch how with one button, your can opening problems are solved.
Total Cost Breakdown
0 Visitors rate it 0 Stars
- Fast
The automatic Handy Can Opener will automatically open any can in your home in seconds.
- Hands Free
It is a hands-free device that is easy and gives you a clean cut.
- Magnet
The built in magnet will prevent any dirty lids from falling into any can and contaminating your food.
- Good for Arthritis
This gift is great for someone who suffers from arthritis or joint pain.
How to Use (Step by Step)
- Stick
Stick the unit on top of the can and pressed to start.
- Watch
Watch as the hands-free cutting action swivels around in a circle and opened you can.
- Lift
Lift the unit off the can after you press it to stop and dispose of the lid.
How It Works
This unit has rotating gears which help it cut below the top of the can, directly below the lid. In slicing away at the lead from directly below, it alleviates any sharp edges. It can open any size, from small cans of corn to oversize cans of spaghetti sauce. The lid that is sliced can simply be put back on top of the existing container and this allows you to store your food back in the fridge. You do not have to use extra containers or Tupperware. Instead you can simply put the top back on the can and put the can back into the fridge.
Save Money
Due to the way that the can opener works you can put the cap back on the can after you have cut it. This saves you money twofold. The first way it saves you money is preventing the food you have from going bad. This saves you money on food costs. The second way is by saving money on Tupperware. Instead of needing Tupperware to store all of your food you can simply put the cap back on and put it in the fridge.
- Easy Storage
The unit is lightweight and compact so you can store easily. This lets you store it in a regular drawer instead of trying to storage on the counter top inside the cupboard where alternative can openers would take up too much space.
- Replaceable Lid
Due to its design, you simply stick the bottom edge that hangs down against the outside edge of the can and then turn it on. This is what allows it to swivel around the perimeter of any can no matter the size.
- Hand Can Openers
Alternatives to this are hand cranking can openers. With this, you stick the rotating blades on the side of the can and then turn the handle manually until it is worked its way all the way around the can. You cannot replace the top after you do this, and if there is no magnet then the dirty top might fall into the can. Additional problems with this particular method is that the can top that you cut is generally very sharp to the touch.
- Electronic Openers
In addition to hand cranking can openers you have electronic can openers which plug-in and use a magnet to hold the camera in place while it rotates and cuts it open. The downside here is that it uses electricity instead of batteries and it is very bulky and generally difficult to store.

When one assigns to window.location, the web browser automatically invokes attachment-handling according to the contentType if the response's Content-Disposition is set to "attachment". The same thing happens if the request is elicited by a traditional form submittal or triggering an href linked to the Content-Disposition==attachment target.
My use case seem pretty simple to me. I need to post a bunch of data via postBody, and the response will be an attachment. Both parts are prosaic and simple, but web searches find nothing on the Internet of anybody trying to do both of these things. Seems that as soon as Ajax is introduced, you lose the ability for the browser to automatically handle attachments, and I find no ability to handle them manually via w3c DOM API or PrototypeJS API (viz. to have the browser open the Open/Save-As pop-up). To maybe prevent a couple exchanges... I do need to use "post" method due to the nature of the data (that the attachment will be generated from). I do not want to hold/cache data on the server for a subsequent traditional fetch: This is clean and atomic as a single post transaction and I don't want to introduce memory contention issues and the opportunity for memory leaks. I tried PrototypeJS's form.request() in hopes that if no callback was specified maybe the browser's default handler would be used... but it ain't. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.

Most straight men are attracted to grown women......just like MOST Gay men are attracted to GROWN Gay men!!!-No, because MOST straight men are attract to grown women. Men who have their heads on their shoulders don't even think about committing such abominations. Straight pedophiles are extremely rare, but the homosexual pedophiles are very common.
You do know that you comment, "Straight pedophiles are extremely rare" is total BULL SHIET, right? Just as your claim that, "Homosexual pedophiles are very common" is total BULL SHIET as well, right? Are you aware that in 1982, 80% of Child Molestation cases involved heterosexual men who happened to be a family member or friend of the family to the child, were white, middle to upper middle class and from a religious background? I would suggest that you take a look at the link I am providing......it might educate you on this issue and how severe it really is:
An estimated one in 20 teenage boys and adult men sexually abuse children, and an estimated one teenage girl or adult woman in every 3,300 females molests children. Although that's well over five million people, most families mistakenly believe that as far as molesters go, there has never been one in their family, and what's more, there never will be. Add together the child victims, the adult survivors, and the abusers, and that's 15 out of every 100 Americans who have been either a molested child or a molester.

'We're going to Augusta!'" Andre Iguodala 2015. Click below for more.
The NFL has a long standing tradition where a player from the victorious team yells out "I'm going to Disney World!" or "I'm going to Disneyland!" immediately after winning the Super Bowl. In a great new twist. the newly crowned 2015 NBA Champion Andre Iguodala may have just created a new tradition for the NBA.
Before Andre Iguodala received his NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award, he made some unusual post-Finals plans. He caught Stephen Curry's attention and reminded him it was time to cash in on Steve Kerr's pledge to use a connection to get them on the most revered golf course in the land.
"When we won, I'm yelling at Steph, 'We're going to Augusta!'" Iguodala said. "You know how everybody goes to Disneyland? We're going to Augusta."
That's your 2014-15 NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Unconventional to the end — and even beyond the end. And that's Iguodala, who made golf a central part of this season — even if beating Curry at Augusta National would be even more unlikely than his beating Curry and LeBron James for the Finals MVP.

General Consideration
Which of the following statements regarding compartment syndromes following orthopedic injuries is true?
|The first sign is usually loss of pulse in the extremity
|Passive flexion of the extremity proximal to the involved compartment will aggravate the pain
|Surgical decompression (fasciectomy) is necessary only as a last resort
|These syndromes are most commonly associated with supracondylar fractures of the humerus and tibial shaft
|The syndrome is often painless
These syndromes are most commonly associated with supracondylar fractures of the humerus and tibial shaft
a. Compartment syndromes result from increasing pressures in the fascial compartments of the arm or leg.
b. When the pressure in the muscles is greater than that of the capillaries, ischemia and necrosis of the muscles occur even though the arterial pressure is still high enough to produce pulses; pulselessness is an unreliable sign.
c. Extreme pain (out of proportion to the injury), pain on passive extension of the fingers or toes, pallor of the extremity, motor paralysis, and paresthesias are all components of the syndrome.
d. The patient will usually hold the injured part in a position of flexion to maximally relax the fascia and reduce the pain; passive extension will usually produce severe pain.
e. The diagnosis can be confirmed by measuring intracompartmental pressures, but whenever physical findings or symptoms are suspicious, immediate surgical decompression by fasciectomy is indicated since delay is likely to lead to irreversible damage.

Powered by a North Sails NPL TOUR paneled mainsail, the young Frenchman Louis Burton completes his first solo non-stop circumnavigation
Finishing in the early hours of Thursday morning in Les Sables D'Olonne, Louis Burton finished a comfortable seventh place in his first ever Vendée Globe, with a buffer of more than 2,000 miles on his closest competitor. Racing in many parts of the world in splendid isolation, Louis benefited from regular periods of excellent conditions that saw him pile on consistent miles with no breakdowns that ultimately set him out alone, ahead of a chasing pack of older generation boats.
Burton, whose father is Welsh, was the 'benjamin' – as the French call rookies – as the youngest skipper to start the last race in 2012 (aged 27). But a collision with a trawler shattered his first Vendee Globe dreams within a few days of the start. But 2017 has seen the amiable sailor finally achieve his dream, and he is the first skipper in the race to finish with a paneled mainsail (North Sails NPL TOUR, built in 2015).
Speaking from just before the finish line as he experienced challenging conditions in the Bay of Biscay, Burton concluded: "I have been very impressed by the shape holding and resistance of my paneled mainsail and 3DI J1 and J2. I had to push really hard to pull away from the others especially in strong breeze. The sail that impressed me most is my fractional Gennaker in Cuben Fiber. I didn't have a chance to use it in past Transats, but it just so happens that it is the ultimate weapon in the Southern Ocean. I put it up west of Cape Town and didn't drop it until after the Falklands! With it, the bow comes up and the boat feels like it is flying! In addition, its versatility and tolerance far exceeded my expectations."
Louis will next take on the Transat Jacques Vabre in November with his partner Servane Escoffier, onboard their new steed: winner of the 2016 Vendée Globe, Banque Populaire.
Congratulations Louis from everyone and North Sails! We look forward to continuing our support in the journey ahead.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Amazon (AMZN) is offering free same-day shipping for its Prime subscribers in some of its key markets. The e-commerce giant said the service will be available without a fee for a limited time, and added that it is expanding same-day delivery to two additional cities.
The online retailer's quick shipping service previously cost $5.99 for same-day delivery for those who've already bought a $99 annual Prime membership. But now the service is free for its Prime customers with an order of more than $35. Amazon Prime members will need to place their order by noon to receive the package delivery by 9 p.m. on that same day.
The Seattle based e-commerce powerhouse is expanding the same-day delivery service to a total of 14 cities, with the addition of San Diego, Calif. and Tampa Bay, Fla.
Amazon first launched its Prime program a decade ago, with free two-day shipping with an annual membership fee. In 2009, Amazon Prime started its same-day delivery service, and last year it started a one-hour delivery service called Prime Now.
Amazon has said that Prime membership within the U.S. rose 50% in 2014.
The launch of the free same-day delivery service comes within days of rival Wal-Mart Stores' (WMT) announcement of its plans to test a new unlimited online shipping service this summer for $50 a year. Additionally, Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) started offering its express shopping option recently. The Google service allows retailers without same-day delivery options to use its network in certain markets. The Google Express service costs $10 per month, or $95 a year.

Nothing funnier than a rock star lead singer getting embarrassed in front of a large crowd. Especially those smug bastards that think the world revolves around their song lyrics and off-key voices. The band is where the real talent is you're just the moron dancing and signing in front of the real musicians. Lead singers are one step up from groupies.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif appeared before a panel investigating his family's wealth on Thursday, the first time a Pakistani prime minister has been grilled by an investigative agency. Sharif arrived at the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in Islamabad clad in traditional shalwar kameez tunic and baggy trousers, but did not speak to media.
The prime minister and his children deny any wrongdoing. The Supreme Court ruled in April there was insufficient evidence to remove Sharif from office over corruption allegations levelled by the opposition, but it ordered further investigations.
The Supreme Court agreed last year to investigate the Sharif family's offshore wealth after the opposition threatened protests after the leaking of the "Panama Papers".
Documents leaked from the Panama-based Mossack Fonseca law firm appeared to show that Sharif's daughter and two sons owned offshore holding companies registered in the British Virgin Islands and used them to buy properties in London.Sharif, whose father was a prominent industrialist, has said his family wealth was acquired legally.
Pakistan has been plagued by corruption for decades, with politicians often accusing rivals of graft.
The Supreme Court has given the panel two months to investigate the family and then deliver its findings.
The six-man panel, made up of members of civilian investigative agencies and military intelligence officers, are examining three generations of Sharif family wealth.
The team has accused government departments of tampering with old records, but Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Wednesday rejected such allegations, adding that the team's claims meant the process was becoming "suspicious", media reported.
Sharif's camp has sought to remove two members of the investigation team and his ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party voiced outrage over a leaked photograph taken from security camera footage showing Sharif's son, Hussain, appearing before the panel.
A three-time prime minister, Sharif was ousted twice in the 1990s, including in a 1999 military coup. He later lived in exile, mostly in Saudi Arabia.He swept back to power in an election in 2013.Opinion polls suggest Sharif's party is likely to win the next election, due next year.
A senior PML-N official told Reuters the party was unlikely to call an early election if Sharif was ousted by a Supreme Court ruling, and would select a new prime minister to take over until the general election.

Save Money On Your Commute
Vanpooling cuts commuting costs by 50-75 percent
Say goodbye to added fuel, maintenance and insurance costs associated with your daily commute. Based on the average commute of 50 round-trip miles per day, driving alone will cost nearly $800* per month and almost $10,000* per year.
Fuel costs alone in your own car are usually more expensive than the total monthly cost of a riding in a vanpool. With gas prices nearing $4.00 per gallon, this can cost you $200/month*.
Taking your car to and from work every day increases the frequency of scheduled maintenance (e.g. brakes, oil change, etc.) as well as the increased likelihood of unscheduled repairs.
Almost all major auto insurance companies offer significant discounts (10% to 30%) to drivers who designate their vehicle as "recreational only," which means you use it for everything but driving to work. Plus, some major insurance companies now offer Pay as You Drive insurance, further incentivizing low-mileage drivers.
Vehicle depreciation
Depreciation is typically the most dramatic commuting cost and the most difficult to recognize. Commuting adds the most significant miles during your car's life and lowers your car's resale value by thousands of dollars when you decide to sell.
Start vanpooling today, and get on your way to saving more on your commute.
* Based on AAA average commuting figures. Costs may vary by location.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
not quite wordless wednesday...
after talking things over we decided that we would wait until Spring~~giving us time make a TO DO list and to finish some home improvement projects to help the resell value.
At first Spring seemed a long way off~~leaving plenty of time to complete the list, but then one day REALITY reared its ugly head! As I walked across Home Depot's parking lot it suddenly hit me that we plan to have a for sale sign in the yard in only 4 months!!!
And pressure mode ensues!!!
One of the major projects to get underway is the girls' bathroom. When we built the house, I took 3 year old Michaela and many of her friends to paint tiles at a pottery store. The tiles were then used to tile her bathroom. {Emma does not have any tiles represented because in 1999 she was still in the planning stages:)}
Many of the tiles were painted by people that we no longer have contact with so they hold no value to me. But there are many, such as Steve's tile he painted after he returned from Kuwait{with the phrase he would tell Mac whenever he called}, the 'Best Friends' tile painted by Ms. Renea, and Michaela's ABCs and potato people that I wish to have in one piece when they are removed. I recently went into a tile store to inquire about the removal options we have. Ha! the list is short. We {and by 'we' I mean Steve} can 1). cut around the tiles, removing the entire tiled portion of the wall, or 2). use a thin tile 'spatula' thingy {yes, that is what the professionals call it} and GENTLY slide it behind each tile~~~hoping that the top layer of the green board comes off thus increasing the chances that the tile will remain intact.
I voted for number 1. Steve, not so much!
So now the fun begins!
Wish us luck!
I will post the final results~~~as soon as the final results occur:)

I hope it goes well!!ReplyDelete
What a great tile wall. Good luck getting the tiles off in one piece and Happy WW!ReplyDelete
Now that will be a big DIY project. I hope they come off easily.ReplyDelete
Oh no! Good luck!ReplyDelete
Your safest bet is to remove the green board in sections and then lay it flat and soak it to try and loosen the tiles. Green board is no longer up ti code in our area. So you may need to replace it with hardi-backer cement board backing anyway, if you plan to re-tile. The housing market has fallen so flat. Hopefully over the next four months your equity will increase. Good luck with the move.ReplyDelete
Very nice, I love the idea!ReplyDelete
That's quite a project! I hope it goes well!ReplyDelete
Sounds like a HUGE project! Good luck with that one:-)ReplyDelete
Oh my GOSH I have never seen anything so amazing or so adorable! I LOVE the tile idea! Good luck getting them off in one piece, I really hope it works out because they are gorgeous!ReplyDelete
Yikes! Would love to know how it went. What a neat idea to use those tiles in their bathroom.ReplyDelete
I hope you can successfully get the tiles that you want. :)ReplyDelete
Good luck. Sounds like quite the project! :)ReplyDelete
That sounds like a huge project! Good luck.ReplyDelete
That was an awesome idea, by the way. Talk about keeping the memories alive. I love it.

City's Now Taking Bids For Transit-Oriented "Area Plans" and "Catalyst Project Concepts"
From A New Paradigm: Strategies for Revitalizing Dallas' Distressed Neighborhoods
In November of '09 we were introduced to St. Louis-based housing developer McCormack Baron Salazar, which was hired by The Real Estate Council to take a long, hard look at potential for development along the DART Green Line in Fair Park-South Dallas and the piece of the Blue Line that runs along Ledbetter. In January of this year, the city council got its first look at the report, which cost TREC $275,000. Long story short: The company's veep told the council we're going to need to spend more than $275,000 to develop South Dallas.
Here's the whole report. It's titled A New Paradigm: Strategies for Revitalizing Dallas' Distressed Neighborhoods and has been posted on the city's Office of Economic Development website. I probably should read the whole thing. Till then, this is from the intro:
There are a number of conditions that currently exist which create real challenges for the revitalization of Southern Dallas. The lack of infrastructure, including inadequate or non-existent power-, water-, and sewer-lines, and storm drainage have hindered real estate development. Businesses which prefer southern Dallas County have opted to settle in southern suburbs, such as Cedar Hill, Duncanville, Desoto and Lancaster, rather than in the city. The larger percentage of adults with lower incomes and education levels in Southern Dallas, as compared with the city as a whole, contributes to the lack of incentive for retail development and less need for office development.
Reason I mention it is because the city is, at this very moment, asking for proposals from consultants interested in creating "area plans" and "catalyst project concepts" for the five areas highlighted in the MBS study, identified as The Lancaster Corridor Area, the DART Green Line Hatcher Station-Spring Avenue area, the DART Green Line MLK Station Area, the DART Green Line Buckner Station Area and the Vickery Meadows/Five Points Area.
The work will be funded in part by a Housing and Urban Development Community Challenge Grant, which will "assist in the transformation of these areas, leveraging existing planning efforts and significant rail investment to create safe, attractive community centers." That's from a detailed 39-page doc posted yesterday to the city's bids website, outlining what the city wants from prospective bidders. It's on the other side.

Mexico's executive and judicial branches are denouncing each other over a judge's decision to release a former official of Mexico's electricity utility. The corruption case was prosecuted in the United States more quickly and with greater rigor than it was in Mexico.
The case of Nestor Moreno has proved an embarrassment to Mexico and a source of frustration for President Felipe Calderon.
A judge recently allowed Moreno out of prison and Calderon says he's tired of judges letting suspects walk.
The federal judiciary council took the unusual step Tuesday of publicly responding to the complaints, saying the release was legal.
The council says unfounded criticism of the courts "threatens the nation's stability."

So, yes, I'm still alive. I know it's been months, but hey, I'm back! And with exciting news.
Prior to announcing the release of the second installment of my urban fantasy series, I did a thing…and that's to give Bloodline Maharlika a new look!
Whew! It's been quite a while since I last updated the blog, but now it's time to remedy that! Things have been crazy busy, but not too busy enough to write. I'm very excited to announce that book 2 of the Bloodline series is on its way to being published soon-ish! Here are some things to expect in Bloodline Magiting:
Ever since I joined the #StrangeLit workshop and wrote Bloodline Maharlika, I've been on a quest to get my hands on every reference book pertaining to Philippine mythology, history, and folklore. Acquiring these books took effort not just on the financial side, but on the logistics aspect as well. I consider myself lucky if I find one in mint condition or wrapped in plastic. I had to actively look for them book stores, but most of the time I'd find them in a dusty, forgotten corner, abandoned and ignored with creased pages and torn covers. Sometimes I'd go out of my way to brick-and-mortar book shops and I'd find rare gems. And there are moments when I'd score the last copy in mainstream book stores.
Happy Lunar New Year, folks!
A lot has happened since the turn of the new year and yes, I have been lazy af to get you all up to speed. But first, thank you to those who've joined my New Year giveaway. I'll be having more this year, so I hope you continue to watch this space for updates and other things.
So…to the business at hand.
I haven't mentioned it in this blog (or during the time I was still using Blogger), but I also dabbled into book blogging in Will Read for Feels last year. I wanted to keep my work as a blogger and an author separate, hence I didn't talk about that side activity in this space. The people who know me (aka my writer friends) are aware that I also read and review books, and it has been an awesome year. I learned a lot about my preferences as a reader, my limits (I barely made the half-mark goal I set for 100 books last year), and of course I also met and discovered great authors who are pretty much on my auto-buy list.
2016 is already proving to be a busy year! Here are some updates that I hope you'd be interested to support, especially for those of you who are into reading local romances.
1. The #romanceclass podcast is now on its 4th episode with a special author interview session. Here's the list so far:
Ep 1: Fall Like Rain by Ana Tejano
Ep 2: Never Just Friends by Mina V. Esguerra
Ep 3: Blast from Two Pasts by Kristel Villar
Ep 4: Songs of Our Breakup by Jay E. Tria
Author Interview: Ana Tejano
There will be 10 episodes and a few other extras, so why don't you go ahead and buy the podcast album? It's going to be worth your while, promise!

Ever have a season where life just exploded on you? That was this past few months for me. It was one of those times when there was too much to do, not enough time, and when I did have a magical moment of free time I didn't have the energy to jump into a major project. Every now and then you need to just put something on hold so you can take time for yourself so I haven't been here for awhile. I got to the point where the race to get the latest review post out just got exhausting. I don't know how all the other bloggers with full time day jobs keep up with it all!
That being said I'm hoping to come back with a more manageable and probably less frequent posting schedule. I'd like to still share my latest makeup loves and looks and even expand more into the geeky side of my interests but I still need to keep time for things like, I don't know…. dating, friends, working out, and sleep! Coffee is a great thing but it only gets me so far, ya know?
So what have I been doing lately that's taken my time away from blogging? Well…
💵 I picked up a freelance job on the side. You know those bills the voice of reason is always talking about? I gotta pay those and still have money left over for makeup…
😍 Dating eats time like crazy. I'm not even dating a lot and it eats time! Since I don't seem to be able to just skip past this meat market dating phase to a real meaningful relationship I gotta spend some time on the market.
😅 The downside to being independent and not wanting to put up with a roommate's bs? There's nobody to help with the household stuff. I keep trying to teach my cat to do my laundry or brush her own fur off the couch and I keep utterly failing so if I don't do it it doesn't get done.
☺ And friends… ahh my dear friends… I'd gotten a little passive in my friendships there for awhile but friendships don't stay alive without a little time and effort.
So the blog will come back, but in smaller and more manageable bits that won't prevent me from living the rest of my life. I won't be buying things just for the sake of reviewing but I will be reviewing the things I buy if that makes any sense. I'd also like to start doing some wear tests seeing how products I own wear over the day and how they stack up to their longevity claims. Let's test "budge-proof" lipsticks on burritos… what do you say?
If you want more and more frequent updates you can always catch my latest looks and loves on Instagram.

Parkinson's Personality: Disease More Likely to Strike Cautious People
Monday April 30, 2012
Rachel Rettner
my health news daily - Some personality traits appear to be linked with the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, a new study suggests.
The results show patients with Parkinson's disease are more likely to be cautious and avoid taking risks compared with people who don't have Parkinson's.
Moreover, the tendency to avoid taking risks appears to be a stable personality trait across a patient's lifetime — as far back as 30 years before symptoms began, those with Parkinson's disease said they did not often engage in risky or exhilarating activities, such as riding roller coasters or speeding, the study found.
The findings add to a growing body of research suggesting Parkinson's is more likely to afflict people with rigid, cautious personalities.
It's possible that what we consider to be aspects of someone's personality may in fact be very early manifestations of Parkinson's, said study researcher Kelly Sullivan, of the University of South Florida's department of neurology. However, much more research is needed to confirm this hypothesis, Sullivan said.
It's also way too soon to say that having a "look before you leap" personality puts you at risk for Parkinson's.
"I'm not a big risk-taker, but at the same time, I haven't resigned myself that I'm going to have Parkinson's," Sullivan said.
Parkinson's personality
Since the early 1900s, there have been reports that Parkinson's patients tend to be industrious, punctual, cautious and risk-averse. Most studies that have found a link between Parkinson's and a risk- avoidant personality have been based on assessments of patients' personalities prior to the disease, using questions such as "did you take risks when you were younger?" However, remembering what you were like many years ago may be difficult, and what someone considers a "risk" is subjective, Sullivan said.
In the new study, Sullivan and colleagues asked 89 patients with Parkinson's and 99 healthy people whether they engaged in specific activities— such as riding roller coasters, speeding and wearing a seatbelt— before the age of 35.
They also asked questions to gauge participants' current personalities.
The results showed that participants with Parkinson's had higher levels of neuroticism — a personality trait associated with experiencing more negative emotions such as anxiety — and higher levels of harm-avoidance compared with healthy participants. In general, participants' willingness to take risks tended to be stable over time, and Parkinson's patients tended to report they took fewer risks.
Another study by Sullivan and colleagues found women with Parkinson's disease were 60 percent more likely to say they had a routine lifestyle as a young adult (such as getting up and going to bed at the same time every day) compared with people without Parkinson's.
Too little dopamine
A brain chemical called dopamine is needed to control muscle movement, and in Parkinson's disease patients, the brain cells that produce dopamine start to die. This cellular death leads to the tremors and difficulty with walking, movement and coordination, which are hallmarks of Parkinson's.
Levels of dopamine may also affect personality. Dopamine is responsible for signaling feelings of reward and pleasure. "When you take a risk or jump out of an airplane, that's what gives you that reward feeling," Sullivan said.
"If you have lower levels of dopamine, it's less likely that you would really get that neurochemical reward and say 'That was awesome! Let's keep doing that,'" Sullivan said.
While the symptoms of Parkinson's don't show up until about 70 percent of dopamine-producing cells have deteriorated, Sullivan said, it's possible the loss of dopamine-producing cells goes on for a long period before someone is diagnosed, Sullivan said.
More research is needed to know exactly how long this process of brain cell loss goes on, and whether the risk-avoidant behaviors exhibited early in life by Parkinson's patients are actually manifestations of the disease, Sullivan said.
Sullivan's studies were presented last week at the American Academy of Neurology meeting in New Orleans.
Pass it on: Parkinson's diseases patients tend to have more cautious personalities.

H. Hilbrecht; Redeposition of Late Cretaceous pelagic sediments controlled by sea-level fluctuations. Geology ; 17 (12): 1072–1075. doi: https://doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613(1989)017<1072:ROLCPS>2.3.CO;2
Download citation file:
Northwest and middle European Upper Cretaceous pelagic carbonates contain abundant gravity-transported sediments in short-lived stratigraphic intervals of 100-500 ka. Redeposition terminates synchronously in different basins at horizons that are always overlain by deeper water sediments. These horizons can be correlated with defined sequence boundaries that are believed to be caused by eustatic sea-level falls. The change of hydrostatic pressure in the water column during sea-level fluctuations was not in equilibrium with pore-water pressures in the fine-grained sediments. About 10% of the hydrostatic pressure at times of sea-level highstands was preserved in the sediment as pore-water overpressure during sea-level falls. This may have caused sediment failure. Theoretical considerations agree with the observed degree of redeposition.
