Mounting violence in Iraq threatens to drive up the price of oil.
The conflict, involving forces of the militant Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, pushed oil futures to a nine-month high on Thursday, while the price of Brent crude shot up $3 a barrel. U.S. crude today was at $106.71, near a nine-month high.
Some companies are already feeling the effects of that increase, as airline stocks fell sharply yesterday over concerns about fuel supplies. [CBS News will be covering the latest developments extensively tonight on the Evening News, with Holly Williams in Erbil, Clarissa Ward in Baghdad and Elizabeth Palmer in Damascus, Syria.]
The fighting comes as Iraq's oil production appeared to be hitting its stride, while crude prices have been relatively stable since 2010. In February, Iraqi oil exports rose to a record 2.8 billion barrels a day. But as the insurgents surrounded Iraq's largest refinery on Thursday in the northern town of Baiji, concerns over oil disruptions grow.
"ISIL is almost certain to attempt to exploit the current momentum of its offensive in northern Iraq and seize as much territory as possible in an attempt to maintain serious political pressure on the government," said Matthew Henman, head of IHS Jane's Terrorist and Insurgency Centre.
ISIS/ISIL has taken over at least one major city in northern Iraq. And according to the Platts industrial research group, the militants have also attacked a number of oil facilities in the region, while threatening the northern oil hub of Kirkuk.
For now, however, IHS senior oil analyst Simon Wardell says the situation has not yet had a major impact on global oil supplies. Increasing demand in the U.S., buoyed by the summer driving season and expected increases from Asia, have so far been able to keep prices from surging.
"Although the situation in Iraq is worrying, the impact on oil exports has thus far been minimal," Wardell said. "The Kurdish regions (in northern Iraq) continue to produce oil, with limited exports via pipeline to Ceyhan," a Mediterranean port in Turkey, he said in a research note.
Platts Oilgram News reports that crude exports in southern Iraq continue to flow and are for now unaffected by the violence sweeping the northern part of the country.
But even with the U.S. now producing historic amounts of oil and natural gas, analysts say any major disruptions of production from an oil giant like Iraq, a member of OPEC, could have a wide-ranging and negative economic impact.
"An oil shock, meaning a rapid rise in the price of the commodity, is a common cause of recessions in the U.S.," said Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a New York-based global brokerage company.
"You can look to 1973, 1979, 1991, 2001-2003 and even 2007 for examples," he continued. "It is the kind of disruption that central banks cannot easily contain, either, since they don't have oil wells. This makes the spike in crude prices especially worrisome, since the world's developed economies are still on fairly fragile footing."
Another variables, according to Colas, is uncertainty regarding ISIS/ISIL and its plans for the region should they succeed in taking control.
"ISIS is not issuing press releases or holding press conferences," he noted. "It is very hard to know what their goals are, aside from destabilizing the current regime in Baghdad. The old saying that 'markets hate uncertainty' holds true here, and in this case predicting the outcome of the crisis is harder than any historical precedent."

American Museum of Natural History
This contribution concludes a general revision of genera of pectiniform bivalves (pectinoids) of the world's marine rocks near the Permo-Triassic boundary. The study includes the morphology, taxonomy, and distribution of some 20 families and 30 genera, several of them new (for new taxa see Contents). It is based on the best material available anywhere, mainly from the western United States. The known diversity of these early pectinoids declined gradually from about 23 genera in the Guadalupian (M. Permian) to a minimum of 5 in the Griesbachian (L. Triassic). After the biological decline, they did not recover substantial diversity until late Triassic (Norian) time.
So they shared the great mass extinction with most other groups of marine invertebrates. The crisis extended over some tens of millions of years and was slow, rather than catastrophic. This diversity pattern agrees well with carbon isotope ratios that seem to reflect a depressed oceanic productivity in early Triassic time.

Simeon Hobbes
|Main Discussion
|Theories may be removed if ...
See the Lostpedia theory policy for more details.
It is theorized that Tom Friendly's real name is Thomas Hobbes.
- Bennu is the Hurley Bird
- The star chart appears to resemble Cygnus, the Swan constellation, also called the Northern Cross.
- Bennu is also the Lord of the Jubilee, which in Biblical times and in the Christian tradition was a year when sins were forgiven and God's mercy particularly common. The last Jubilee was 2008.
Twitter bio
"It is tedious to tell again tales already plainly told."
- This is a clue that season 6 will not be, as so many people seem to think, a revisitation of season 1.
- Or it could be completely the opposite. It doesn't say "we don't tell again tales already plainly told." It just says it is tedious to do it.
Morse Code
- The morse coded message sounded similar to some of the noises The Monster seems to make. Perhaps Simeon Hobbes has something to do with The Monster.
- Seems this character is a follower of Jacob while the other tweeter Epithet Alpha seems to be aligned with Jacob's enemy.

Adelaide: Zimbabwes leading run scorer Andy Flower, who arrived in Australia on Thursday to play state cricket, has hit out against an alleged quota system for black players in the current Zimbabwe team.
He said this issue has been a bone of contention within the team, adding that it was unlikely that he would be returning to his homeland any time soon.
Flower joined teammate Olonga in wearing black armbands to mourn the death of democracy in Zimbabwe during the World Cup in southern Africa earlier this year.
The former captain, who scored 4,794 runs at 51.54 in 63 Tests, said: I dont think it would be the smartest thing for either of us (he and Henry Olonga) to go back at the moment.
There was no chance really to go back to Zimbabwe and there wont be for a while, Flower, 35, told reporters in Adelaide where he will play for South Australia this season.
Zimbabwean players and officials have denied this quota within the team in the current first Test in Perth. The issue was raised by Flowers former teammate, batsman Murray Goodwin, who said black cricketers got a free ride into the Zimbabwe team.
I havent been involved in the Zimbabwe set-up for a while, but the quota has certainly been an issue, said Flower.
He said wicketkeeper and vice-captain Tatenda Taibu, and fast bowler Douglas Hondo, who missed the bus through injury, deserved their positions. The guys that are there at the moment are (good enough), he said.
Zimbabwe are a very young side, the sooner those guys get in there and face up to stiff competition, the better.
Flower signed a new two-year contract with English county Essex last month as an overseas-qualified player.
5-yr visa for Olonga
Meanwhile, a report from London said Olonga was granted a five-year visa to remain in Britain, where he has spent the last six months on a work permit, playing club cricket and doing TV commentary (as reported in our Late City edition on Thursday).
Im not sure if and when Ill return to Zimbabwe, Olonga told the BBCs web site. If the current regime stays in power, then Ive got no chance. If things were to change, it may well be that I wont stay here all that time but I will plan my life as if Im going to be here for those five years.
Olonga is due to undergo knee surgery later this month and wasnt sure if he would play first-class cricket. (Agencies)

Welcome to our Humble Church
We warmly welcome you to our humble St. Francis Church. You are in a wonderful place to worship - to pray, to meditate and to admire this unique architectural form, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Originally, St. Francis was established in 1931 as a chapel of ease from St. Mary's Cathedral. At that time, it cared for a small residential community and the influx of new immigrants. In 1934, Bishop Monahan, then Bishop of Calgary, created it as a parish.
In 1957, the original structure was replaced and the new church was built by Msgr. Joseph Le Fort, acting Pastor, who engaged the well known firm J. Stevenson & Associate. The firm gained honors for this building as an Architectural Exhibition held for Western Canada.
St. Francis serves its parishioners in the Calgary downtown area, the various people working here, not to say, the increasing number each year of tourists visiting our famous City of Calgary.
In 1988, Bishop Paul O'Byrne entrusted St. Francis to the Dominican Fathers. These Fathers are working tirelessly to beautify and maintain it up to date, to serve everyday more and more people from all over the world.
Please help us to do the job to keep St. Francis always serving your spiritual needs.....for many more years to come.

El Loco's revenge – Ecuador 2002
The toothbrush moustache, the swept over hairstyle and a tendency to make expansive gestures: Abdalá "El Loco" Bucaram, former president of Ecuador, certainly had all the trappings of the vaguely loopy, big-ego politician. Nobody has ever been able to prove that the shooting of Ecuador national team coach Hernán Darío Gómez (who led the side to the 2002 World Cup) - who took a bullet in his leg while minding his own business in a Bogota bar - had anything to do with Gomez's refusal to pick Bucaram's son in any of his squads. But most Ecuadorians suspect a Bucaram sympathiser with a pathological sense of familial loyalty. No one was ever charged over the attack, and the ex-president himself was in exile when the attack took place. At the time, head coach Gómez had already threatened to resign after hearing an untrue report that Bucaram's son had been included in the under-20 squad against his wishes. That's commitment for you. BR
Svenviable golden goodbyes – Sven-Göran Eriksson, 2006 -
Let's be clear: Sven-Goran Eriksson reached the pinnacle of football management through hard work and good results. But he makes this list for being sacked so often that he need never work again. His latest pay-off, after nine months in charge of Mexico, came to an estimated £4.7m. That's on top of the £1m Manchester City paid to get rid of him last year, and the £3.75m he got from the FA in 2006. Of all the people across the world who have lost their jobs in the current economic downturn, he is perhaps the most smug. SB
Fairclough grabs the glory – Liverpool, 1974-1983
The problem with using your capacity to play football to become a hero to millions is that you have to do strenous training exercises every day, watch your youth flash by without really being able to let your hair down and enjoy it, and perform every week over 90 arduous and sweat-soaked minutes to the same incredibly high standard for season after season. Unless you're David Fairclough, Liverpool's legendary supersub, who spent a great deal of time sitting on the bench, a little bit of time coming off it to score memorable goals, and the rest of his life wowing the after-dinner circuit with tales of his unlikely feats SB.
Franco-style Motivation – Real Madrid 1943
Barcelona supporters love nothing more than to accuse Real Madrid of being Franco's team. In 1943 it was easy to agree. The first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final between the two teams ended in a feisty 3-0 win for the Catalans, against what one paper described as "Spain's representatives". Before the second leg, the Franco regime's director of state security went into the Barcelona dressing room - gun in hand, according to some witnesses. The result? Real Madrid 11, Barcelona 1. SL
Goalkeeper cuts himself with brick – Espéance, 2000
There does seem to be something about goalkeepers and self-harm. With minutes of the second leg of the 2000 African Champions League final remaining, Espéance of Tunisia were heading for an away-goals defeat to the Ghanaian side Hearts of Oak. Espéance goalkeeper Chokri El Ouaer rushed from his goal with blood pouring from a head-wound, claiming to have been struck by a missile thrown from the crowd. A linesman, though, had seen him cut himself with a shard of brick. With El Ouaer unable to continue and all subs having been used, Esperance carried on with 10 men, had a player sent off, and conceded three late goals to lose 5-2 on aggregate. JW
Goalkeeper wears a flare – Chile, 1989
It's certainly one way of drawing attention to yourself. Midway through the second half of a World Cup qualifier against Brazil in 1989, the Chile goalkeeper Roberto Rojas threw himself to the ground, bleeding from a head wound seemingly inflicted by a flare thrown from the crowd. Chile were 1-0 down and heading for elimination, but this appeared a lifeline, until video evidence showed the flare had not hit Rojas and he had inflicted the cut himself with a razor-blade hidden in his glove. In punishment Chile were denied entry to the 1994 World Cup and Rojas was banned for life. The woman who threw the flare, meanwhile, posed for Brazilian Playboy. JW
Grobbelaar wobbles his legs – Liverpool in Rome, 1984
Perhaps the most famous example of high-stakes slapstick wobbly-legged gamesmanship in football's long history. Liverpool had managed to take the 1984 European Cup final against Roma - in Rome - to penalties, but the game looked to be over when Steve Nicol missed their first spot kick. Agostino Di Bartolomei scored, as did Phil Neal, but as Bruno Conti, a World Cup winner two years earlier, stepped up, Bruce Grobbelaar, Liverpool's goalkeeper, performed his notorious "spaghetti-legs" routine. "Was it gamesmanship, or just Bruce acting the clown, as he did in our dressing room - and on the pitch - so often?" asked Ian Rush. "To this very day I don't know the answer. But it did leave poor Conti so shattered that he ballooned the ball high over the crossbar." Ciccio Graziani was similarly unnerved, and Liverpool had a fourth European Cup.
In the penalty shoot-out for the fifth, against Milan in Istanbul four years ago, Jerzy Dudek paid homage to Grobbelaar with a similar - and similarly successful - wobble of the legs. JW
Hartlepool get bombed – World Wars 1914-18, 1939-45
It is said the denizens of Hartlepool once hanged a monkey, mistaking it for a French spy, but there was no mistaking the German Zeppelins that flew over the town in November 1916. Off to bomb the shipyards, they were intercepted en route by British planes; turning tail, they dispatched their bombs over the town instead. Several landed on the perpetually unfortunate local football club, flattening United's main wooden stand. The club demanded £2,500 from the German government once hostilities were over; all that was sent was another consignment of bombs during the second world war. The club, however, escaped damage the second time round. SM
Helmer's phantom goal – Bayern Munich, 1994
From a German point of view, Geoff Hurst's Wembley shot against the bar wasn't the only famous goal that never was. It's 1994, and Bayern Munich are playing Bavarian rivals Nürnberg in the Olympiastadion. The home side need three points in the title race, the visitors are fighting relegation. In the 21st minute, a Bayern corner gets through to Thomas Helmer, but the defender fails to connect in the six-yard-box. The ball bobbles away from the left post and into touch. Helmer clutches his face in disappointment but then realises that linesman Jörg Jablonski has, incredibly, awarded the goal. The referee points to the centre-circle, Bayern celebrate and the Nürnberg players are dumbfounded. The game finishes 2-1, with Nürnberg's Manni Schwabl missing a late penalty. Afterwards, the sense of injustice is so strong - and the TV footage so clear - that the German FA, in defiance of Fifa regulations, are forced to order a rematch. Bayern win 5-0 and the title. Nürnberg are relegated on goal difference. Jablonski, who claimed he was tricked by an "optical illusion", gets demoted to Division 3 and quits after two more years of constant abuse. Helmer goes on winning titles, unperturbed. RH
Hopkin stitches it – Aston Villa, 1979-1983
We all know footballers get a bad press now and then. Football fans, too, have their moments, not least when it comes to instances of often irrational tribal behaviour. Blend the two of them together and you get something that looks a bit like Robert Hopkins, one-time Aston Villa midfielder. From the south part of England's second-largest city, Hopkins was enough of a Birmingham City fanatic to in a Blues badge underneath the livery of detested rivals Aston Villa when he began his career there as a winger in the late 1970s. His Agent Hopkins act finally worked four years – and only a few first-team appearances – later, when "Hoppy" at last got his wish and was transferred to his adored club. His two spells for City gathered him 33 goals in 205 appearances. Whether he repeated the badge trick during his two years with West Bromwich Albion, which came before the return to Birmingham in 1989, is undocumented. RS
Hull lift curse – Hull City, 2009
Football has a long and detailed secret history of blessings, exorcisms and hoodoo liftings. Name any British football league ground and there's an even chance it's played host to some incense-shaking bishop or local Wicca warlock in its time. Excitingly, this practice has survived into the recent Premier League era. Even more excitingly, it still only ever seems like a good idea when you're losing. It may be no real surprise, then, that the most famous blessing of the current season occurred at Hull City, who have plummeted like a stone in the Premier League after briefly threatening something miraculous. In March 2009 Patrick Hutchinson, a 45-year-old psychic, was doing a show in Hull and was duly asked by the local paper if he could do anything to reverse the decline in Hull's home form. With the club's permission Hutchinson duly performed a spiritual blessing at the KC Stadium. "Sometimes buildings and places can have negative energies that can aff ect those within," explained Hutchinson. "It could be from a person who has died near the ground or whose spirit has not been guided towards the light. Or it could be from a previous manager or disgruntled away fans who have left a lot of negative vibes." LT

Part Description: 000A3470 - Multiflow 2002 Anesthesia Ventilator 300-1600 ml version includes bellows and housing
Set up diagram
The Hallowell EMC Models 2002 and 2000 are electronically controlled, time-cycled, pressure limited
Electronic control
-- Eliminates the substantial driving gas required to operate pneumatically controlled ventilators.
Time cycled
-- Insures consistently spaced breaths. The possibility of stacking breaths or auto-PEEP is eliminated by keeping the I:E ratio constant at 1:2. This means that regardless of the respiratory rate setting two-thirds of each breath will remain for expiration. The respiratory rate is adjustable from 6 - 40 breaths per minute (BPM).
Volume constant
-- Insures that each delivered breath will have essentially the same volume, independent of changes in patient compliance and airway resistance. The deliverable tidal volume (TV) range is from approximately 20ml to 3,000ml using 3 interchangeable bellows and bellows housings as seen here. Most small animal facilities require only the
small bellows attachment
, seen at the left, with the standard size ventilator, center.
Pressure Limited
-- Provides for patient safety by limiting the maximum working pressure (MWPL) to a user adjustable pressure range of 10 - 60 cm H2O.
The Model 2002, now our most popular ventilator, was introduced in circa 2002 after numerous customer requests for a finer volume adjustment at the low end of the range. We added a finer volume control in parallel with the existing control on the Model 2000. Everything else about the Model 2002 is identical to the Model 2000.
Both ventilators are equipped with dual airway pressure alarms that monitor and sound when the peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of any breath either exceeds the preset maximum working pressure limit (MWPL)

Should it not rather be > shut-down so an human intervention > can fix it before it is being made operational again? This is a bit long, but maybe it will clear some things up a little. As far as a node taking over a resource it thinks it still has after a reboot (without notifying the other nodes of its intentions), that would be a bug the cluster software, and a really *bad* one too! A couple of things to remember when thinking about failures and fencing: (a) Failures are rare. A decent PC has something like a 99.95% uptime (I wish I knew where I heard/read this long ago) uptime - with no redundancy at all. A server with ECC RAM, RAID for internal disks, etc. probably has a higher uptime. (b) The hardware component most likely to fail is a hard disk (moving parts). If that's the root hard disk, the machine probably won't boot again. If it's the shared RAID set, then the whole cluster will likely have problems. (c) I hate to say this, but the kernel is probably more likely to fail (panic, hang) than any single piece of hardware. (d) Consider this (I think this is an example of what you said?): 1. Node A fails 2. Node B reboots node A 3. Node A correctly boots and rejoins cluster 4. Node A mounts a GFS file system correctly 5. Node A corrupts the GFS file system What is the chance that 5 will happen without data corruption occurring during before 1? Very slim, but nonzero - which brings me to my next point... (e) Always make backups of critical data, no matter what sort of block device or cluster technology you are using. A bad RAM chip (e.g. an parity RAM chip missing a double-bit errors) can cause periodic, quiet data corruption. Chances of this happening are also very slim, but again, nonzero. Probably at least as likely to happen as (d). (f) If you're worried about (d) and are willing to take the expected uptime hit for a given node when that node fails, even given (c), you can always change the cluster configuration to turn "off" a node instead of reboot it. :) (g) You can chkconfig --del the cluster components so that they don't automatically start on reboot; same effect as (f): the node won't reacquire the resources if it never rejoins the cluster... > I/O fencing instead of power fencing kind of works like this, you undo > the i/o block once you know > the node is fine again. Typically, we refer to that as "fabric level fencing" vs. "power level fencing", both fit in with the I/O fencing paradigm in preventing a node from flushing buffers after it has misbehaved. Note that typically the only way to be 100% positive a node has no buffers waiting after it has been fenced at the fabric level is a hard reboot. Many administrators will reboot a failed node as a first attempt to fix it anyway - so we're just saving them a step :) (Again, if you want, you can always do (f) or (g) above...) -- Lon

I was just wondering whether a guys stops flirting with a girl after he starts dating her. I have had this issue before. The way he is sweet and flirty is what attracted me to him but once we start dating it's like he gives up on being that cute and sweet flirty guy. So I guess my question is are all guys like that? Once you start dating do you quit being flirty?
Most Helpful Guy
if his natrural personality is flirty then he will always be that way, if he is just acting that way to attract you then he might stop when he goes out with you.00|00|0

Work has started to unlock new gas reserves and boost production from a field in the North Sea following nearly £80million of investment from Centrica Energy.
Twenty miles off the Lincolnshire coast, a new well is being drilled at the York field that will tap into an additional 20 billion cubic feet of gas – enough to heat half a million UK homes for a year.
The York gas field already produces enough gas every day to heat all the homes in Hull and both North and North East Lincolnshire combined, but the new well – the fourth producing well to be drilled – will extend the life of the field and ensure it continues to provide gas for the UK until 2020. Drilling is expected to be completed early next year.
Gas from the field is piped ashore at Easington terminal, where it is processed and sent on to the National Grid by Centrica Storage.

What is Reggae Gospel Music?
Reggae gospel is one of Jamaica's
newest musical genres, originating in the early 1990's and it is continuing to
grow in popularity with an increasing number of artists and fans alike.
It features the familiar dancehall rhythms Jamaicans love dearly but the lyrics set to this music are meant for praise and worship and have a Christian theme to give God glory.
While not every church on the island accepts this brand of music as suitable for services, it has caught on with some of the more contemporary ones and is a lively part of worship.
Who Performs these Songs?
The number of musicians who identify
themselves as Christians and perform in a reggae gospel style keeps on getting
Some of these artists were once followers of Rastafarianism but have since become born again and have chosen to spread the word of God through their music.
Papa San, whose birth name is Tyrone
Thompson hails from Spanish Town. Starting his career as a dancehall performer
in his teens, he became a Christian in 1997 and has since been producing albums
in the reggae gospel style.
His albums include Victory, God and I, Real and Personal, Higher Heights, Three the Hard Way, Fire Inna Dancehall, My Story, and One Blood.
See him perform one of his latest videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTTY1hvHBKs
Goddy Goddy also known as Howard Reynolds
is a Kingston native who also began his career as a secular reggae artist. He
is now using his musical style and lyrics to spread the word of God throughout
Jamaica and abroad. Born again in 1999 he has since released the albums Goddy
Goddy, Warfare, and Ghetto
He is also an ordained minister, who has brought thousands to Christ through his outreach ministry.
You can see him performing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj5XAft_z9o
Born in Kingston as Nicholas Eccleston, DJ
Nicholas was once a young performer who sang violent themed songs and
identified with the Rastafarian faith, although this was not the path he was to
stay on. Feeling the urge from the Holy Spirit, he decided to dedicate his life
to God and cleaned up his way of living, including his music.
His first reggae gospel music album DJ Nicholas on the Shout was released in 2005 and in the following year he was the recipient of several awards. In 2008 his second album Louder than Ever came out and he continued to win even more awards and gain recognition as a minister of the gospel.
You can watch him perform at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgmmsesKQKE
Originally from St.Catherine, Calvin Curtis
Whilby, also known as "Prodigal Son" began his early adult life on the mean
streets of Kingston, but soon realized that this was not for him and that the
Lord had a plan for his life.
He began producing reggae gospel music to give praise to God and in 2001 he released his debut album Radikal Prodigal followed by several more albums over the following years such as C.E.O. Christ's Executive Officer, My Block, and Halfway There. He has also been the recipient of several notable awards as a gospel performer.
See him in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21-USdjg1gY
Active as a mainstream reggae artist since
the 1970's, Carlene Davis who hails from the parish of Clarendon, became a
full-time gospel singer in the mid 1990's after her diagnosis with breast
cancer when she recommitted her life to God.
Her work includes the albums Alive for Jesus 2002 and Author and Finisher 2003. She continues to record and produce gospel music with her husband Tommy Cowan.
You can see her perform one of her hit singles at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUzRFT-NtSM
Once known as "Lieutenant Stitchie" this
Spanish Town native whose real name is Cleveland Laing enjoyed as a reggae
dancehall DJ and performer beginning in the late 1970's until a 1997 car crash
which inspired him to give his life to God.
In 1999 his first gospel reggae album To God be the Glory was released and six more have followed since, including Ghetto Soldier and Real Life Story.

|This article is about a/an episode in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
Marlin Fishing (舵木一本釣 Kajiki Ippontsuri) is the seventh episode of Samurai Sentai Shinkenger.
Ryunosuke is sent to catch the Marlin Origami living in the wild, where he must work with a jaded fisherman to save his team from a poisonous Ayakashi.
While having breakfast, the Shinkengers learn that the Kajiki Origami has been sighted at the Funabuta Coast as the Ayakashi Yamiororo appears. While the others go after Yamiororo, Ryunosuke is sent to acquire the Origami itself by fishing for it. But after failed attempts to catch it, Ryunosuke receives the aid of a mysterious fisherman named Sakutaro Komatsu before being contacted by Jii that the others got poisoned by Yamiororo and the Kajiki Origami is needed to cure them. Though Sakutaro questions the point of his endeavor, Ryunosuke resumes fishing as Takeru leaves to slow Yamiororo down in spite of the pain from the poison. Motivated by his lord's determination, Ryunosuke finally manages to fish the Kajiki Origami out with aid from Sakutaro. With the Kajiki Disk in hand, Ryunosuke makes his way to Takeru as the other vassals came to his aid, using the disk's power to cure everyone before they change to use the Rekka Daizantou's Kajiki Five Rings Bullet to kill Yamiororo, destroying him again with the newly formed Kajiki-Shinkenoh. As Sakutaro secretly resumes his duty as a kuroko, a mysterious figure who witnessed the Shinkengers' fight with Yamiororo walks off.

The Huge red menue below lists this rooms numbered pages!
To be saved,ready to go to heaven as well as walk in Him, requires that you repent of ur sins and then be baptised in water in the name of Jesus Christ applying His blood to ur soul washing all of ur sins away. When you come out of the water you will have literally gotten married to Jesus. I can perform this for you or you can go to a United Pentecostal Church. After u marry Jesus do not return to that place, no more than you would return to the courthouse where you entered into a human marriage. Instead grow in ur literal marriage to JESUS, now ur Husband. Trust Jesus to bathe U,to clean up ur life, AND ONLY HIM!
You have just entered into a website where I teach the hidden revelations and mysteries of God that God has hidden from humanity for the last 2000 years. I am the first man,person(recorded person) to teach these revelations and mysteries since the apostle Paul died 2000 years ago.If you are addicted to your religion instead of loving God these hidden revelations and mysteries will remain a hidden mystery to you. Salvation is the direct result of a person getting married(literal marriage) to Jesus by obeying Acts 2:38.
What we all have been taught about Jesus concerning His relationship with mankind is incorrect. Jesus did what He did so that every person has the ability to get married to Him. And I do mean literal marriage.In this website are teachings brought to you as God has taught them to me. Going to church is a religious lie built completely on greed and is not at all what God ever wanted atl all. To get married to Jesus and establish marital communications is the will of God. Anything else is an abomination to God and an insult to Him. The teaching of trinity is a false teaching. There is only one God and His name is Jesus. It is God Himself that created for Himself a body and lived in that body, that body being named Jesus and being called the only begotten son of God since Jesus is the only instance when God allowed His body to be born from the body of a woman.
My reason for creating this website is because, in the year 2005 the 15th of August at about 7:30 am the Lord visited me as I was waking up in my bed. He begain to speak to me in the same mannor that He speaks to you. He told me that I had to go and speak to His wife. That His wife couldnt hear His voice any longer. That she couldnt feel His presence, that communications were not established. This was a simple message that He was giving me and I set about to do as the Lord asked. As I obeyed the Lord He begain to open up to me His hidden revelations and mysteries that He had hidden from all mankind for the past 2000 years. Please understand that when the Lord visited me telling me to go speak to His wife, I had NOT EVEN ONE SINGLE BIBLE SCRIPTURE( on getting literilly married to Jesus) and I was just another apostolic one God preacher and had been for most my life. These revelations God begain to teach me scared me to death because they went against most everything I had ever been taught or I had taught. I begain teaching my sons and anyone that the Lord allowed me to teach these revelations.(now my oldest son preaches and teaches these revelations). I can truthfully say as the apostle Paul said that no man taught these to me, I recieved these from the revelations of Jesus Christ.The same way that Jesus taught Paul Jesus taught me as well. The same as Paul said that this is "my Gospil" I indeed say the same thing for this dispensation had been appointed unto me the same as Pauls was appointed to him. This website is dedicated to teaching these wonderful revelations as the Lord taught them to me, and continues to teach me every single day and night.
Does God want a harem? These revelations God has been teaching me since 2005 can not be filtered thru your zipper,the carnal mind.
As I teach this literal marriage to Jesus that He has been opening up to me since 2005, I am amazed at the things people come up with. Though I suppose I shouldnt be because the bible says that the natural man cant recieve the things of God because they are foolishness to them and they are spiritilly diserned. One of the questions I get is "does God want a harem". Really? God is constantly teaching me this wonderful marriage to teach you and you really want to go there? Ok I will break it completely down for all of you.Lets say for instance that there is only one person in all mankind that loves God and understands the literal marriage to God. It is the truth to say that that one person is married to Jesus and is the wife of the Lord right? Now this one person brings another person into the literal marriage to the Lord and this person marries Jesus according to Acts 2:38. The truth that the one person was the wife of Jesus hasnt changed because there are now two people. Now both people are the wife of Jesus as well as the collective wife of the Lord. No matter how many people get married the truth remains the same and isnt changed because of the numbers, It is as simple as that. But there are people that will take any of Gods beautiful revelations and try to drape them in carnality. Each and everyone of you that has entered into the literal marriage to Jesus is His wife.All the people that are His wife make up the total wife of God. It is like the dots that make up a print. Each dot is a dot unto itself. Add them all together and all the single dots make up the entire picture.
The 2 gardens of eden, is my suggestion of the first teaching you listen to here on this wedsite. You will find it listed in my web pages here. #57
Man with man and woman with woman in an unnatural way has always been against God and is today and always will be against God. I just heard an ex UPC preacher using some of the same bible verses that I use as I teach this literal marriage to Jesus to back his homosexual beliefs. I must take this time to explain that one verse of scripture will never cancell out another bible verse. This person I just heard on youtube was doing just that. He was grossly trying to say that brothers being married to Jesus the man,backed his homo beliefs. This is satans lie from the deepest parts of hell itself. In the book of Romans the first chapter the apostle Paul said that man with man and woman with woman was unnatural and it will led to a reprobate mind,God searing their conscience with a hot iron turning them over to their own unnatural lusts. This literal marriage to Jesus Christ cannot be understood by the carnal mind and it is a disguisting abomination against God for anyone to try and use this wonderful holy marriage that God has taught me to teach into an abomination. Please wife of Jesus Christ know that satan wants to add confusion to this literal marriage to Jesus. Satan wants to cause you to fear this literal marriage to Jesus, but this has always been satans job. The pope and nuns do indeed say that they wear a wedding ring on their hand because they are married to Jesus. But they lie. They are married to that other jesus that Paul warned the church of Corinth of. That carnal unGodly jesus, that one that allows idol worship. Roman catholic religoun at one time refused to be called christian and I am old enough to remember this, they wanted to be called catholic. And actually the roman cathilic religoun is one of the proofs that I use of this marriage to Jesus being common back in the days of the first church. You can read of Paul give fair warning to Rome in the book of Romans as they begain to take their marriage to Jesus into a carnal direction and they begain to follow after a diffrent jesus.I was afraid that history would repeat itself and it is. But wife of Jesus, I admonish you now to never allow the unclean spirits of satan to interfere with your marriage to Jesus no more than you would allow satans unclean spirits to intefere with your human marriages.Stand up for your Husband Jesus aand hold fast to that which He has proved to you to be true. Please,lets not make the same mistakes against our Husband Jesus that so many did in the first century.It is absolutely disguisting to see this carnal barn yard attack coming against this literal marriage to Jesus that God has trusted unto us. Please do not fail Jesus, wife of the Lord. Remember that the opening up of this literal marriage to Jesus is one of the signs of the last days, this marriage being hidden from mankind for 2000 years.
The literal wife of Jesus are the one God people baptised in Jesus name. You are already married to Jesus and some will lie to you because they seek men's admoration,they love to be called a preacher or whatever.Dont let Satan fool you. The church today is as the Ephesians were.Married to Jesus but not knowing it till Paul explained it to them.
The hidden revelations taught to me by God's Spirit were taught to me the same way they were taught to the apostle Paul,by Jesus Christ Himself. The revelations first were given to me and I had no bible at all to back them up. THEN God's Spirit led me thru the bible showing me verses proving them.This is true revelation. Please do not try to play with or twist this literal marriage for your own greed of money or so you can baptise someone.These are God's hidden secrets opened up to His apostle and not some religion to be triffled with. Do not try and steal the only thing God's wife has left which is her holy matrimony to Jesus.Man has already stolen everything else from her. God will punish this in His time if you do not listen to this warning. He is so tired of man's raping of His wife. Those baptised in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost and believe in the one God of the Jews are His wife already ,like the church of Ephe. that Paul had to teach that they were already married to Jesus.
What kind of person am I ? As a child, myself and my twin sister was looked after many times by our dear grandmother Westbrook. She used to walk us thru graveyards and read to us the names of the people burried there. As she did, she constantly reminded us that someday we too would be burried and would have to face God. She taught us to love Jesus because He died for us. I learned a healthy respect for God as well as fear for Him and for hell as well. I became very protective for God and anything that He loved. When He came to me teaching me the revelations of getting married to Jesus I was very very skeptical. And I was afraid. What God was teaching me was against everything I ever taught and was taught. I prayed,boy did I pray and yes I wept many tears. I was the first person that had to be convinced because of my very strong fear of hell and of God. I have seen people that were not ready to die, go to their grave not caring if they were ready or not. This I will never ever understand. After I die I know I will face God who is discribed in the bible as holy,jealous,loving and angry. Who in their right mind would ever go to face an entity like this and not make sure they have done everything they can do to be ready. To this day I question the revelations God teaches me in depth. But I always come to the same conclusion. God has a wonderful plan that He hid from all of mankind for the last 2000 years due to His wife, the church commiting adultery against Him. They wanted instead of getting married to Him the old way, a building made by man, built by man and a priesthood of man over them. So God allowed His adulteress wife to have what she wanted in the way of the roman catholic religion. For 2000 years the people were tortured,murdered and raped by what they wanted. Even when men grew tired of this they still created for themselves the same thing with different names like ,baptist,methoditist,UPC,amf,and all the rest while God wanted a wife that would get married to Him in the person of Jesus Christ.

Check-in time was limited to one hour between 4:00 and 5:00pm. We had to pay in cash, and I was not offered a receipt and had to go back and ask for one.
Our plans had changed and we were not able to cancel our second night, which was fair since it was last minute. The owner told us he would try to fill the room, and we understood that we would be refunded our money if he was able to fill it. He was able to fill the room for our second night, but instead of giving us back a full refund of $125. CDN he told us that he had "told the other people that they could have the room for $40."
I really can't stand being lied to, and I would rather Calvin just not give me back any money rather than lie. He knew that we knew he was lying and after some conversation increased the refund to $60.
I would not stay at the Banff Squirrel's Nest B&B again just on principle. Any of the amenities or helpful tips that we were given were over-powered by the cheap lies for a money grab. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

My projects are born of curiosity, an attribute I attempt to cultivate regularly. I live in the Northeast, but hold a world view. I believe only in the capacity to pursue, not to satisfy. It is an approach to existence that requires constant attention--and it is an approach fueled by writing and photography. (As well as dog-walking, cooking, adventure, travel, reading, dish washing, and brushing my teeth. In other words, everything.) Thank you for your interest in my work and may your own pursuits find you curious like a child.

Obamacare remains the law of the land despite an all-fronts assault from conservatives. PHOTO: Reuters
Republicans have gone through all sorts of theatrics to fight the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare. They voted 46 times to repeal Obamacare, brought a Supreme Court case, and promised repeal if they won in 2012. When none of that worked, they shut down the government in an attempt to hold Obamacare hostage. And still, Obamacare stands.
Though conservatives have failed in all of their high profile attacks on Obamacare, there are many smaller, guerilla style attacks on Obamacare, some of which have had success. Because these attacks on Obamacare are on a smaller scale and not directly affiliated with the Republican Party, they have been stranger, more base, and less honest than the official Republican Party attacks on Obamacare, and that's saying something. Here are 5 of the most notable Obamacare attacks:
1. Shutting Down the Mississippi health exchange website
Mississippi had a really good state-run website for people to sign up for insurance under Obamacare. The website, One, Mississippi is still up, but once you click "Shop and Compare" to check out some health plans, you are taken to an error page. Why? Because Mississippi's Republican Governor Phil Bryant doesn't like Obamacare, and his ace legal team determined that the Mississippi Insurance Department "lacks the authority under Mississippi law to establish and operate an exchange under the ACA."
This means that the federal Obamacare website, healthcare.gov, has had to take on Mississippi's insurance sign-ups, and so far this has meant fewer people in Mississippi signing up for health insurance.
Related: 7 Reasons Why Obamacare Is Awesome
2. The Creepy Uncle Sam Ads
You may have seen or heard of these. A group called Generation Opportunity is leading the charge to get people to simply not sign up for health insurance under Obamacare, and they are targeting college students. Why? College students tend to be low information voters, are less likely to have health insurance outside of their school's coverage, and are necessary to the success of Obamacare. The basic deal under Obamacare is that insurance companies can make money on young healthy people and lose money on older, infirm people.
Generation Opportunity's pitch to college students is basically that you shouldn't sign up for health insurance under Obamacare or Creepy Uncle Sam will violate you. No, seriously.
3. Petitioning Against The Baltimore Ravens
Yes, the fight against Obamacare has been an all-fronts war, and one of those fronts has been the Super Bowl champs of 2013. Following in the footsteps of the Boston Red Sox, who encouraged people to sign up for health insurance under a state program very similar to Obamacare (signed into law by some guy named Mitt Romney), the Baltimore Ravens opened this NFL season with a pitch to their fans to sign up for health insurance under Obamacare.
Naturally, Republicans were outraged. Americans for Tax Reform (Grover Norquist's group) launched a petition to tell the Ravens to "focus on winning games, not promoting the Obamacare trainwreck."
While Republicans couldn't stop the Ravens from supporting Obamacare, they did prevent a similar effort from the NFL as a whole. Republican Congressman wrote letters and groups floated the idea of organizing boycotts against the NFL. The NFL decided to avoid the negative attention and cancelled those plans.

4. Throwing Sexy, Boozy, Pledge-To-Opt-Out College Parties (with Creepy Uncle Sam)
Yeah, we're not done with "Generation Opportunity" and Creepy Uncle Sam. The group held big, beer-soaked party with paid models and paid Creepy Uncle Sam at the University of Miami. Also, lots of material on why you shouldn't sign up for health insurance under Obamacare, and pledges to opt out of Obamacare. Hey, if the facts don't support you, get a bunch of people drunk.

5. Launching Websites That Suggest You Don't Need To And Shouldn't Sign Up For Obamacare
A Florida-based marketing group launched two websites to help Alaska residents make some decisions about Obamacare. One of them, Know The Facts Alaska, does not appear partisan, but it has a quiz to help you determine if you should sign up under Obamacare (which says that you shouldn't, regardless of your answers), and then there is this extremely misleading line:
"Obamacare won't be fully implemented until at least 2018, so time is on your side." No mention of the fact that if you are not signed up by March 2014, you will get fined (that date may get moved, but by a year at most).
The other website, Don't Enroll Alaska, is openly partisan, and contains doozies like this one:
"According to the Doctor Patient Medical Association, 83% of doctors say that they may quit their practice."
That number isn't within shouting distance of the truth (Simon Malloy of Media Matters did a good teardown job on that one).
Read More: What Is Obamacare?
Obamacare is here to stay. The launch has been rocky, but the road is smoothing out, and in time, the world before Obamacare will seem as distant as the world before social security. These attacks on Obamacare are absurd and immoral (though you can't fault their commitment). Fortunately they will fail in time, which means they can slide from infuriating to funny.

If you believed the news reports, private colleges and universities were going to have nobody show up for their freshman orientation in the fall. But guess what? All those sky-is-falling predictions were dead wrong.
A new survey of private colleges and universities suggests that the teenagers heading to these private institution is actually going to increase this fall. The increase is projected to be less than 1% over the previous school year, but it's still a heck of a lot better than the specter of ivy-covered ghost towns.
So how did private schools divert disaster? For starters, according to the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, the institutions were more generous. The average private college increased its financial aid by 9%.
At the same time, many private schools resisted the urge to raise their tuition at the kind of levels that they can usually get away with. And frankly some schools were less picky about who got acceptance letters. (Sounds like good news for "C" students.) A majority of institutions not only welcomed more applicants, but one-third of schools accepted late applications or extended their admission cycle.
At least for the coming school year, private colleges dodged the bullet.

"Unable to get a drink after my back operation - came up with solution"
Posted by markmoran (as ),
I was having great difficulty in easily getting a drink whilst in hospital following a serious back operation. This was due to the fact that the fluids were out of reach on the bedside table and the nursing staff often had too little time to help when help was needed. I decided to invent a soltion as this is a huge problem
The result was the invention of a drinking system that clips on to beds, wheelchairs and chairs, called The Hydrant. This simple idea gives quick and easy access to fluids without the need to call for assistance. The result is much less chance of dehydration and vastly increased independence for the user.
It is making a massive difference where it is being used - both in hospitals and out in the wider community

A question to the CC ranks! Are you interested in candy making supplies, chocolate, molds, candy boxes, etc? Do many of you make chocolates at home? Alan
Hi, Alan.
I do chocolate at home on a smallish scale.
I'd like to have access to specialty items like transfer sheets (sold singley rather than in bulk), colored cocoa butters (like what Albert Uster and Chef Rubber carry) but perhaps in smaller quantities, and Guittard A'Peels candy coating (an upgrade from Merckens).
Yes Please Alan. Trying to find molds and supplies at a reasonable cost is killing me!
I agree, I love using molds. Would love to try chocolate transfer sheets also.
I would love to try chocolate transfer sheets as well.
I would like some choco supplies. They are hard to find where I am, east Texas.
I used to have a chocolates business for years. Unfortunatley I've leaned towards cakes more. Have tons and tons of molds if anyone is interested. Wouldn't mind the transfer sheets though...
I would be interested in molds and transfer sheets.
Hi Alan - Yes, I would be interested in chocolates and supplies. Good chocolates would be a plus! Someday hope to have a business. Thanks for asking!
Yes Please! I do a lot of chocolate work and my candy supply store is terrible. Besides the fact they are extremely expensive, all they do is complain business is so bad, but do not keep the store well stocked. They never have what I need.
I totally agree with Blakescakes. Good quality supplies in smaller quantities would be great. I would also like to see a section with tutorials showing how to use some of the various products that you carry. There are several supply sights that do that and it is a big plus for all parties concerned.
It is wonderful to have a supplier that is so willing to work with the customer as you do. How about a cookie cutter line?????
I would love to be able to get good quality real chocolate and molds. I need a digital thermometer thats designed for candy not meat. some tools that are designed/sized and priced for a home based business.
Thanks for all the feedback. When I started this business my plan was to offer candy making supplies right away. Due to the heavy volume we have experienced this year, I have run out of room in my store to add any candy supplies. We will hopefully be moving to a much larger store/warehouse within the next 6 months. At that time, I plan on introducing a complete line of candy and chocolate making supplies as well.
I will keep you all posted and thank you again for taking the time to respond and email me.

Kanpur: A 32-year-old man, who was arrested in a theft case, died in custody following which 14 police officers were suspended and a magisterial probe ordered into the incident.
While the police claimed that the deceased Zeeshan fell ill due to a suicide attempt and subsequently died, his relatives alleged that he was beaten to death and pelted stones at the police station.
"The accused, Zeeshan, a resident of Keshigao, was arrested after he was suspected to be involved in a theft case on Wednesday. He was rushed to hospital after he fell ill due to a suicide attempt, but later succumbed," SP Pushpanjali Singh said.
He said a case has also been registered on the basis of statements by the victim's relatives against the SOG (Special Operation Group) team, which had arrested Zeeshan, an inspector and three other police officials. 14 police officers including an inspector who were present during the incident were also suspended.
The incident took place in Buraur village of the district yesterday, following which Zeeshan's relatives and local residents pelted stones at the police station, alleging he had been murdered in custody.
"A magisterial probe has been ordered into the matter and we are trying to compensate the victim's family members," the SP said, adding that the body has been sent for post-mortem.

We would like to add 2 rooms above our garage. (The original house plan had an option of a bonus room above the garage). We are looking to use one as a bedroom and one as a bonus room/den, and would like to have the project ideally completed by spring/summer of 2008.
We look forward to hearing from you.
We would like a double garage built onto the side of our home, converting a single garage to a double. We also would like the porch extended when the garage is added. Lastly, we'd like the living room to be extended about 8 feet, along its length (it's 12' x 18'). We own a 2 storey engineered home, with a single car attached garage, built in the late 1960's.

Reviews of Steve Kolakowsky
Quality work, super sweet, and easy to get in touch with! Will definitely ask for help again in the future.
He brought my artist's song to a new level, was very professional and helpful. Great listener and extremely collaborative. Definitely would recommend.
Excellent job once again. Flawless finish. Definitely my go to man for mixing and mastering.
Steve is a BEAST! He did a BRILLIANT job. Far surpassed my expectations. Excellent communication and did it fast. Highly recommend.
Was great working with Steve. Very professional and patient. I explained exactly what I wanted and what experience I have and Steve was great through the whole process. His quality of work is good and most definitely good value for money. I will definitely use him again.
Steve's work is great! He's prompt, professional and very responsive. I will definitely use his services again.
Steve did an incredible job mastering my tracks. He took the time to really determine what sound I was after and made it a reality. I will be using Steve again for my next project. Thanks Steve!
I've worked in the studio with Steve a number of times, and he really knows how to get your song to exactly where you want it to be. Funny, punctual, Professional.
I started working with Steve back in 2011 and continue to use him as my engineer on ALL of my music. Steve is extremely talented, knowledgeable, patient, dedicated, and hard working. Its not everyday you find an engineer who is this easy to work with. Out of all the big named engineers I've worked with in my career, Steve is hands down the best!
Steve Kolakowsky is the real deal. He cares greatly about his craft and puts a lot of effort into getting the "right sound." He's very easy to work with, personable, funny, and opinionated (which is to your benefit). I really enjoy working with him.

A blepharoplasty is a cosmetic procedure that removes fat, muscle or excess skin from the eyelids. The surgery can be performed separately on the upper and lower eyelids, or on both sets simultaneously. If the procedure is intended to remove both fat and excess skin, then small incisions are made within the existing lines surrounding the eye (to minimise scarring). In cases where only fat needs to be removed, it is usually possible to complete the procedure with no visible scarring whatsoever.
As is the case with all forms of surgery, a blepharoplasty is not completely risk free. Surgeons have a responsibility to ensure that all patients are fully informed of these risks before they opt to undergo a blepharoplasty. Any surgeon who does not fulfil this responsibility is failing his patient and it may result in a medical negligence claim.
Potentially the most damaging complication of eyelid surgery is injury to the eyeball itself, which can lead to loss of vision. The muscles around the eye can also be damaged, as can the optic nerve in cases of excessive haemorrhaging. Additionally, the eyelids may tighten after the surgery, leaving the patient unable to fully close their eyes.
If you feel that you have been a victim of medical negligence before, during or following a blepharoplasty, you may have a claim. With a wealth of specialist knowledge in medical negligence cases, we can provide advice, support and guidance throughout the process. There are no upfront fees or payments, so talk to Your Legal Friend today for more information.

Here are the 10 easy steps to help you on your way to a medical negligence claim today.
We ask you to sign forms of authority so that we can obtain your medical records from your GP and any hospitals that have treated you.
As the medical experts we instruct need to know what happened during your treatment, we work with you to draft a detailed, accurate statement in your own words.
You are responsible for minimising the losses you have incurred as a result of the alleged medical negligence, so you need to attend any available treatments that could aid your recovery. You may also need to return to work as soon as it's safe to do so.
You must prove that the treatment you received fell below the standard expected of a reasonably competent and skilful medical specialist of the type who treated you and that, as a result, you suffered a loss or injury. To do this, we obtain independent medical evidence from an expert in the appropriate area of medicine.
We have to establish whether the sub-standard treatment you received is likely to have led to your injury or loss. As this can be difficult to establish, you may need to see one or more medical experts who will assess your current condition and what the future holds for you.
The value of your claim comprises:
You need to keep all original financial documents safe as these will be needed when we prepare your case to go to Court. These documents include accounts, payslips, and receipts for expenses and medical treatments.
Although only a small number of cases proceed to a trial, we prepare every case for this eventuality.
The trial takes place before a Circuit or High Court judge who will make a decision based on the evidence we have prepared.
If you win your case, the amount of compensation will be decided by negotiation with the defendant or, if your case goes to trial, by the judge. The defendant will usually be ordered to pay us the costs we have incurred in preparing your case. We will also agree a date by which your compensation will be paid to us so that we can pay your compensation as quickly as possible.
Because the circumstances surrounding every claim and their effects are different, it's very difficult to give a definitive answer on how long it takes to settle a claim. Often it depends on how quickly our clients provide us with essential information, how quickly we can get medical records and assessments, and whether the insurance companies are willing to provide realistic offers to settle the claims.
Whilst we aim to settle your claim as quickly as possible, we also want to ensure we secure the maximum compensation for you. This often means we have to do some hard negotiation with the defendants – which takes extra time. Our aim is to balance progressing the claim as fast as possible with getting you the maximum settlement.
We realise that you'll be keen to know about the progress of your claim so we will send you regular emails and texts to keep you up to date, and also to remind you if there is any information we're waiting for from you.

My quick impressions from the Microsoft E3 Press Conference.
Call of Duty BO2: Sniper and wrist-computer controlled drones were basically what I expected, new tech with old ideas. The plane section looked cool. Not much innovation, but still a fun looking game.
Dance Central 3: Thanks for the mini Usher concert. No thanks for the Usher pun.
South Park The Stick of Truth: Trey and Matt was the funniest part of the show. Obsidian South Park RPG sounds awesome. Jews can't be saviors, remember.
Wreckateer: Angry Birds on Kinect. Even the Goblin things looked like the Green Pigs.
Resident Evil 6: I was hoping for something to give me some confidence that the game would be a return to the moody horror roots of the franchise. What we got was a big action sequence with a ton of quick time events. Sad face.
matter: Gore is making a game about shapes!
LocoCycle: Not sure what this is, could be interesting?
Ascend New Gods: The animation looked kind of clunky. Not sure how this one will turn out.
Tomb Raider: Great demo. This game looks simply amazing, and I can't wait for it to come out.
SmartGlass: This looks very similar to what Wii U is trying to do. The Game of Thrones map looks very cool, but I have to wonder how many people will actually take advantage of this technology. Using my phone as a remote could be useful for watching Netflix.
Nike+ Kinect Training: Possibly the best partnership for a fitness game thus far.
Music: XBOX Music, how do they come up with these names? My guess is that Microsoft's answer to iTunes is too little too late.
Sports: Funny to compare the applause for NBA to that of NHL.
Bing: XBOX Show me something I care about.
Forza Horizon: A more open Forza, can't wait to get some hands on with this one.
Gears of War Judgment: After the reveal earlier this week, this trailer didn't really show anything to get me more excited.
Fable The Journey: Just looks very meh.
Madden 13: More Kinect. Looks more interesting than FIFA, but once again, I don't want to be yelling at my TV like an idiot. Also, not sure how voice commands would work with multiplayer.
FIFA 13: FIFA with Kinect... boring...
Splinter Cell: Blacklist looks awesome, but is it just me or does Sam not sound like Michael Ironside?
Halo 4: Interesting live action trailer, game looks like some good old Halo with cool updates. Can't wait to see more.
What were your impressions of the press conference?

I have used a variation of Guided Math in the upper grades for 4 years now. Every year I see HUGE growth in my test scores and I know it is because of this.
I always find that I have such a huge divide in my classroom: kids who get it and could teach it, kids who could get it from some quality instruction, and kids that need some major intervention and cannot focus during whole group because of attention or just because they have such gaps. Doing small group instruction 2-3x a week has really helped me provide the kind of instruction that ALL of my students need.
Guided Mini-Lesson:
I start each Guided Math lesson with a 15-20 minute mini-lesson. This mini-lesson is typically reviewing or extending the skill(s) the students will be working on that day during all or some of their centers. After the mini-lesson, I quickly go over the center requirements for the day. I am able to quickly go over the requirements because I keep my math centers very consistent. I want the focus of our guided math time to be the math they are doing and not learning a new game or center each week.
Guided Math Centers:
For Teacher Time, the students come to my back table where I teach a very focused lesson on a new skill, reteach an old skill, or extend a skill. Here are some of the materials I use.
These Differentiated Skills Sheets allow me to focus on specific skills at different levels. I can work on the same skill with each of my groups but at their level. The best part about these sheet is that each level is 100% different from the previous and next level (three levels in all) so my lower group can progress through each level.
The Math Intervention Printables that I love using focus solely on word problems. The graphic organizer allows me to scaffold my groups. The printables are divided up by skill and I can work on that specific skill with my groups in a focused manner. Often, these printables find their way into my next guided math center, Paper and Pencil.
Just as the name of the center indicates, this center is all about putting that pencil to the paper and practicing math skills. I do try to make it more engaging than just regular worksheets by having my students complete "Mini Math Review Booklets" or one of my "Of the Day Printables".
The mini-review booklets are a huge hit with my students. They love the novelty of them and I love how many skills they can review. Each page of the booklet focuses on a different skill and only has about 4-6 practice problems. This is the perfect amount to review without overdoing it. I can also use these math booklets to see who needs re-teaching on specific skills. The students bring their math booklets to the Teacher Time center as well. Sometimes I use the math booklets to complete individual math conferences with students during Teacher Time.
My "Of the Day" Printables are perfect for guided math centers (or math warm-ups) because of the consistent format of the printables. Since guided math centers are so short (20 minutes each), the focus of the students' work time really needs to be on the math. The consistent format of these allow for that- and believe it or not, the students really enjoy completing these. The consistency provides a scaffold and confidence boost for struggling students.
This center is always one of my Roll and Answer Math Centers. The skill changes out weekly or even daily depending on the week. However, the directions are always the same. This allows the students to focus on the math involved and not learning a new game or trying to play a complicated game. To read moare about my roll and answer games click here. Because I have 3rd-5th grade games made, I can easily differentiate the games as needed. They are self checking, so the students are able to monitor their learning.
Click here to go to a previous post where you can grab a copy of two free games to try out!
This center is where the students work on the skill I taught at teacher time or a previously learned skill via Math Task Cards. The task cards are also self checking, so the students can check their answers and correct them as needed. I have bundled sets available for 4th grade (click here) and 5th grade (click here) so you can have a task card set for each standard that you teach. This will allow you to keep your task card center consistent throughout the year.
Since I teach 5th grade, I don't use any kind of board or workstation chart. Instead, I organize the centers in clockwise fashion around the room to make it super easy to transition. The students learned the rotation after just two days.
I *always* meet with my two lower groups first, with my lowest group being the very first one I meet with. That way I can provide them immediate instruction before they begin working independently. Also, I sometimes will start the paper and pencil center with them to get them started. And I will 90% of the time give them a differentiated 4th grade roll and answer game.
