Kim and Kanye list Bel Air home for 20m
Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are selling their Bel Air mansion.
The couple bought the sprawling home in Los Angeles for $9 million in 2013 and spent $2 million on renovations but never moved into the property.
Now, TMZ reports, they have decided to list the mansion for more than $20 million.
Despite splurging on the Bel Air property, Kim and Kanye then bought another palatial mansion in Hidden Hills, which they have decided to make their LA base.
The duo purchased the house, which features two swimming pools, a vineyard, eight bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, in August 2014 after getting tired of waiting for the extensive renovations on their Bel Air home to be completed.
Earlier this year, they also bought a $2.925 million house next door to the property in case they want to expand their home further in the future.
And they are said to be desperate to show off their home in the prestigious Architectural Digest magazine.
A source close to the duo said: "Kanye wants to show off the Hidden Hills mansion now that they've finished renovations. Kanye considers himself to have an eye for interior design and fashion, and wants to show off what he considers some of his greatest work, the mansion. Kanye thinks the house will influence a generation of how young, hip, urban couples with families will want to decorate their residences."
Kim also "wants to show off her over-the-top closet, and garage with their luxury cars".

The Harper government's launch last week of a publicity campaign promoting its policies on competition and pricing in the wireless telephone industry is suspect for its timing. A spokesperson for Industry Minister James Moore says the campaign – which includes newspaper ads, radio ads and a website – is a dutiful effort to inform Canadians, but releasing it now casts doubt on the government's motivation and raises questions about its use of tax dollars to push a partisan agenda.
Ottawa has had all summer to counter claims by the "Big Three" telcos that large foreign cellphone companies could use a loophole in the rules governing the auction of new wireless spectrum to unfairly gain a foothold in the Canadian market. So why did the government wait until late last week to launch a comprehensive rebuttal? The timing is questionable for three reasons in particular:
The worries about a Verizon or Vodaphone having an unfair advantage are moot: The deadline for applying to take part in the auction was Sept. 17, and no large foreign telcos are on the list;
The rules of the auction process, which is now under way, effectively prevent bidders such as Rogers, Bell and Telus from responding to Ottawa's unprecedented targeting of their industry;
And the government has prorogued Parliament and will deliver a Speech from the Throne in less than a month that will focus on priorities that include a consumer-first agenda on such hot-button issues as, you guessed it, cellphone costs.
Further muddying the waters is the fact that the new government ads and website largely mimic the content, tone and message of a Conservative Party of Canada fundraising website, www.consumersfirst.ca, which the party launched in the summer. Among many similarities, the Industry Canada and party websites both tout the claim that cellphone costs have fallen nearly 20 per cent since 2008, while jobs in the industry have increased 25 per cent, and both dismiss the same list of "myths" and "fictions" that contradict the government's positions.
Ottawa is taking advantage of the enforced silence of Parliament and the Big Three cellphone companies to stake out its position as the friend of the Canadian consumer – a position that is an important part of an election-minded agenda that will be unveiled in the Oct. 16 Speech from the Throne. This is not something for which the Canadian taxpayer should be footing the bill.Report Typo/Error

666-F7W Didymium glass filter
The didymium glass filter 666-F7 is made special manufactured materials by the company SCHOTT. Just like holmium glass, didymium glass as well shows a multitude of characteristic peaks in the UV and Vis range. Therefore, it is usually used to check the wavelength accuracy. However, the peaks are not as narrow-band as the one of the holmium glass filter.
Because the exact positions of the didymium peaks vary slightly for each production batch (movement due to the glass matrix), the filters are calibrated individually.
|Assessment of wavelength accuracy in both UV- and visigble range

A BUDDING artist is celebrating after one of her drawings was picked to be exhibited in the House of Commons.
Megan Jenner, who studies A-level fine art and BTEC level three computer game design at Priestley College, said: "It's the first time I have ever had my work exhibited so it is very exciting. I've been to London but never the House of Commons so to be invited there is great."
The 17-year-old will be at the launch of the exhibition, which will be hosted by Alan Johnson MP and attended by the Education Secretary Michael Gove, on March 16.
Her charcoal drawing will sit alongside a variety of other works in the Sixth Form Colleges Art Exhibition.
Priestley tutor Steven Lane said: "To be chosen from so many other pieces of art that will have been submitted for a national exhibition such as this is an incredible achievement."

Disney World Planning Tips
Walt Disney spent the last few years of his life conceiving and planning Disney World in Florida. He didn't live to see its completion, but he would probably be pleased with the results. The four parks and numerous attractions at the Disney World resort constitute one of the biggest tourist draws in the world. Planning your visit carefully will ensure you get the most out of the experience.
What to Pack
In addition to packing basics, a few additional items will serve you well at Disney World. Sun and rain fall in equal measures in central Florida. Carry an umbrella and rain slicker for every member of your party, and pack sunscreen and a floppy hat to keep off the rays. If you have small children, bring your own stroller. Disney World rents them but they're very expensive. Comfortable shoes are a must, as you will walk a lot. Ride lines are often long; if you or your kids are easily bored, pack a book or a hand-held video game to entertain yourselves while waiting in line. Finally, give everyone in your party a walkie-talkie or cell phone in case someone becomes separated from your group.
Planning Your Day
Walt Disney World contains four theme parks, along with two water parks, multiple golf courses, shopping centers and a faux raceway. "The Walt Disney World Theme Park Guide" strongly recommends setting at least one day aside for each park. Hopping from park to park requires a drive or train ride, which can seriously eat into your day. Target the specific rides you most want to go on and make them a priority; long lines mean you might not be able to see everything. If you want to avoid the crowds, plan your trip during the off-season of January through mid-March or September through Thanksgiving, or on a weekday. Once there, pace yourself during the day, especially if you have children. The parks are full of quiet spots to sit and rest; a little down time can do wonders for your energy levels.
Visits to Walt Disney World can become expensive quickly. Stay at off-site hotels that provide complimentary shuttles to the parks. Purchase multi-day passes if you plan to visit more than one day: They're cheaper overall than an equivalent number of one-day passes. Look for periodic specials on tickets, such as free passes for charity volunteers or free admission on your birthday. Disney rotates the details periodically; you can find which ones are in effect by checking Disney's official home page. If you're concerned about meal prices, make sandwiches in your hotel room and purchase beverages at the local grocery store to take in with you. Disney World allows off-site food provided you don't bring in a hard-sided cooler. You can also create a cheap souvenir by bringing an autograph book and a felt pen, then asking Mickey and other mascots to sign it for you when you see them. For other memorabilia, purchase Disney goods at Orlando outlet stores or off-site Disney Stores, saving you luggage space as well as money.

Seaweed Tartare
Recipe by Mad Maryno
I have found this recipe on a french vegetarian forum (http://vegeweb.org) and i fell in love with it. It's amazing on rye bread, crackers, melba toast or on top of breaded tofu.
Top Review by grumblebee
Oh my gosh! This is an amazingly delicious recipe. I have made this 3 times already (first 2 batches went quickly so I increased the amounts for the 3rd one :P) The last batch I made I used more wakame and capers than the previous versions -- this made it even better as I really love the flavour of the seaweeds and the capers add a nice tang/saltiness. For those who don't like too much salt you might want to decrease the tamari to 1 tsp or even omit it altogether as this can be quite salty. But I love salty things and besides, the flavours are very intense so you only need a little dab on whatever you are using it on. :) This is definitely a new favourite of mine. It looks pretty too. Kind of like fancy cavier or something... lol. I'm going to take this a potluck next week along with some rice crackers for serving. I know it'll be a hit! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's PAC]

Marion, Arkansas
Learning Community Assessment, LIBM 6360, Dr. Rickman
Sarah Long
The role of the modern librarian has metamorphoses over the years. It is no long suitable for a librarian to spend his or her days simply greeting patrons and shelving books. Librarians of today take a much more active approach to managing their library programs. According to AASL's Empowering Learners, the "school library program promotes collaboration among members of the learning community and encourages learners to be independent, lifelong users and producers of ideas and information" (AASL, p.20). In order for librarians to successfully manage a library program, they must be knowledgeable about the community in which they serve, be it academic or public. They must know not only the dynamic of the community, but if serving a school, they must also be aware of the dynamics within a particular building or age group. It is not enough for a librarian to comprehend the in's and out's of a particular collection. He or she must also understand the community he or she is serving and what the needs of that community entail.
According to the Marion Chamber of Commerce (2010), Marion, Arkansas is located 11 miles west of Memphis, Tennessee and about 130 miles east of Little Rock, Arkansas. It is the county seat of Crittenden County and lies in the northwest quadrant of the state along Interstate 55. According to the census of 2010, the population of Marion is 12,345. The population may be broken down as follows: Caucasians, 66.8%; African- Americans, 29.2%; Asians, 1.4%; and those of two or more races 1.4%. 81percent of Marion's population lives in an area described as urban, while 18.1 percent live in rural communities.
The average age of a Marion resident is 33.8. While the average household income $70,277, 31.5 percent of residents report that they rent housing.
Marion does not have a means of public transportation, but residents have access to several different modes of transportation. Interstate 55 and Interstate 40 intersect 2 miles south of Marion. The Union Pacific Railroad and Burlington Northern Railroad travel through the town. There are four inbound and three outbound trains daily that travel to and from West Coast seaports. There is a Mississippi River port in West Memphis, a mere 6 miles away. West Memphis plays host to a small airport and the Memphis International Airport is a 20 minute drive.
While Marion is not home to a hospital of it s own, Crittenden Regional Medical Center is located 6 miles away in West Memphis, Arkansas. Residents also have access to several hospitals in Memphis that are equipped to treat major medical injuries and serious illness.
There are many different active Christian churches in Marion. There are seven churches, representing the Methodist, Baptist, Assembly of God and Church of Christ denominations. Presbyterian, Lutheran, Episcopal, and Catholic churches are located in West Memphis, and the nearest synagogue is in Memphis, Tennessee.
Marion is home to Marion School district which ranks as the 29th largest in the state. Approximate 4, 200 students are enrolled in the district K-12 (Marion School District, 2013). Of those attending Marion schools, 0.7 percent participates in the "School Choice" program. The district has a parental involvement plan which includes Watch DOG programs, literacy and math nights, parent / teacher conferences, and Career Action Planning sessions. 36 percent of teachers in the district hold a Master's degree. There are six campuses and the average pupil to teacher ratio is 17:1. According to Marion's District Report Card (2011), in the district, 58.8 percent of students qualify for free and reduced lunch. The district boasts a 94 percent attendance rate and a combined graduation rate of 82.8 percent.
Marion residents live in close proximity to a host of colleges and universities. Mid-South Community College is in West Memphis, Arkansas, approximately 5 minutes away. The University of Memphis, Rhodes College, Christian Brothers University, Crichton College, Memphis Theological Seminary, and Southwest Community College are all located in Memphis, Tennessee within a 20 minutes drive.
Because Marion plays the role of a hub for many neighboring rural areas, the population a Marion librarian would be serving has a variety of needs. A librarian serving this community must be aware of the level of exposure to different places and events that patrons may or may not have had. For instance, a collection about famous European artists may not be as applicable to patrons as would say a collection about the history of farming or different types of crops. Some students may not have ever crossed the Mississippi River into Memphis, Tennessee, or may have never visited a zoo. While books may be used as a mode of exploration in introducing patrons to different places and events, a librarian must be fully aware of the background knowledge held by the community being served in order to serve them most efficiently.
In closing, knowing the community that is being served is imperative to the success of modern librarians. It is not enough to be familiar with what titles a library does and does not hold, a librarian must know the patrons' background in order to anticipate needs and interests of a particular group. As technology advances, the need for adaptable librarians also increases; therefore, modern librarians must exhibit a high level of community knowledge and flexibility in order to successfully fulfill his or her duties.

|Last chapter
|Next chapter
Leah meets an airbender who was friends with Avatar Joel.
Leah stood awkwardly at the door to the library, waiting for the answer to her knock.
"Please come in." a voice said.
She walked into the library, looking for the source to the voice. Leah spotted it, a middle-aged man, sitting the corner near an extinct fireplace.
"Leah, I've been expecting you. I'm glad you could make it. Please, sit down." the man said warmly.
Leah sat down on an old couch opposite the man.
"I'm glad you could make it to see me. My name is Adrian." Adrian stated.
"Alright Adrian. So, what do you need?"
"I hear you wish to escape."
"How'd you know?"
"Oh, I've been here a while, just know how rumours circulate around here. But I still have to ask you why? Surely it isn't because you're being treated cruelly here?"
"No, the treatment's actually pretty good. But I still feel like a prisoner."
"Ah, I see now. You feel robbed of your life simply because you are different."
"Umm, yes, that's basically it. I feel that I was wrongly brought here. They had no right to interupt my running away."
"You ran away?"
"Well, yes," Leah explained. "I accidentally activated the Avatar State, and it really freaked out my mom. I felt like an outcast, I felt shamed and alone. I felt like I had no other choice."
"But it wasn't your fault."
"No, it was their fault! They made that wave come at me! They forced me into the Avatar State! If it wasn't for them I could've lived a normal life! I could be driving, dating, going to High School, all normal teenager stuff!"
"But you were still never a normal teenager. You found out of your abilities before the incident on the lake ever happened."
"No, I guess not. Either way, I would've ended up telling her anyway. But what angers me more is that she knew. How come she never told me?"
"I'm sure that she only wanted a normal life for you, considering your rough upbringing. She was only trying to care for you."
"By keeping all of this away from me?"
"By trying to love you. She knew that it was going to come to the surface one way or another. She was only trying to let things flow."
"But she still lied to me." Leah said spitefully.
"Then why do you wish to escape? If you are harboring this much anger against her, than what purpose do you wish to accomplish by escaping? The Enforcers did make sure she thought you were dead."
"That's true."
"Then why do you wish to escape?"
"I hate it here. I just don't feel normal here. I know the other "residents" have adapted here, but I just can't do it."
"Your feelings are familiar to me. I knew the Avatar before you, a man by the name of Joel Matthews."
"You knew Joel?"
"Yes, we met once and became friends quickly. Joel was upset with the way the BDA was detaining people, just for being different. He went around Europe, raising an army to oppose the BDA and the Enforcers. But the Leader is a clever man. He used Hitler's hunger for power as a tool to eliminate Joel's army without losing his own Enforcers. But Joel still got away with enough to challenge the Leader."
"Then what happened?"
"Joel and his army of at least two thousand marched to the gates of Uluru, intent on liberating and destroying the prison. The Enforcers, with their own thousand, came out to oppose them. The Enforcers are a force to be reckoned with, but numbers were against them. They lost more than half of their ranks, and Joel still had enough to overrun them. But the Leader showed up then."
"The Leader, using fire and earth attacks..."
"Wait. The Leader can bend two elements?!"
"By some divine prank, yes. He quickly decimated the remainder of Joel's army, forcing him to flee. Joel wasn't a fully realized Avatar, so he journeyed to the firebender colony in Mexico to complete his training. But when he came to the city he found it besieged by the Enforcers. The firebenders in the colony had held them off, so Joel tried to sneak into the city. But the Leader found him hiding at a petroleum farm. He shot lightning at the tanks, and the explosion comsumed him and the majority of the colony."
"So Joel was never detained and brought to the prison."
"No, he said he would sooner join them than be beaten by them. I think it was his greatest regret to see so many die for a cause he never saw accomplished."
Leah sat there for a moment, pondering what Adrian had said.
"I still don't get it. Why have you called me here?"
"I'm trying to make you realize to yourself the reasons why you are thinking of escape. You need a better reason than pure spite against the BDA, that'll get you killed. I believe you will have been here four years in two weeks? The BDA will most likely let you out to Alice Springs. Once you come back, if you've decided prison life is okay, come visit me and I will be more than happy to teach you airbending. If not, than I wish all the luck in the world to you, Leah."

I sleep on my front because when I sleep on my back I feel vulnerable and always get that 'falling off a building' feeling and jog myself awake.
Most Helpful Girl
Usually, I fall asleep as little spoon, kinda in the fetal position and then when I wake up, I'm usually asleep on my front and my boyfriend's halfway pushed out the bed :P00|00|0
seems about right lol.
Most Helpful Guy
I rotate between all the possible positions before I fall asleep, I have no idea what position that would be or is it even same every time.
I was once at hospital with broken leg and I got that "falling off" thing. I woke up screaming like I would have fallen off a cliff for real.00|00|0

J-man Zelda Fan's walkthrough of The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Part One "Of Minish and Men" (Introduction, Minish Woods, Deepwood Shrine)
- "There's a storyteller here! We should listen to--Oh! I wonder what's over there..."
- — An ADD Princess Zelda
Let's jump right in, shall we? Princess Zelda comes to Link's home and talks to Master Smith. You then go with Zelda to the Picori Festival in Hyrule Town. Before you leave, though, be sure to pick up the 20 Rupees from the chest in Smith's room. Once you get to the Festival, feel free to chat around with the various villagers, who will tell you about the Picori.
Your main objective, however, is to get the Small Shield. So seek out Zelda and talk to her. Each time you talk to her, she will say something random and then move on to another location. Keep chasing and talking to her until she comes upon the game where she wins the shield (that she chooses, to the proprietor's dismay) and gives it to you as a present. After getting the shield, continue on towards Hyrule Castle. In North Hyrule Field between the town and the castle, you will come across a Business Scrub that shoots a seed at Zelda.
Walk in front of the Scrub and block his next seed with your shield. You will then be able to continue on to the castle to present the sword. Talk to Minister Potho in the courtyard, and the ceremony will begin. Vaati will enter to touch the Picori Blade, and of course, he turns out to be the villain. He destroys the blade, opens the chest, and turns Zelda to stone. What a jerk. Oh, and you get knocked out. Great.
You'll wake up in the castle and have an audience with the King and his subjects. After some talk, he instructs you to go to the Minish Woods to seek out the Minish. Your adventure begins!
Minish Woods
Exit the castle and go to North Hyrule Field. Mutoh's Carpenters block your way back into the village, so the only way to go is right. Go south through Lon Lon Ranch and into the Eastern Hills. Go south to the bridge and turn right into the Minish Woods. Go east through the Minish Woods, then south at the first intersection you come to. Go south all the way down, then turn left, north, and then left. At this point, a cutscene should be triggered showing Ezlo being attacked by two Octoroks. Before going to the rescue, however, walk to the left to pick up your first Piece of Heart! Continue back the way you came until you find him. Kill the octoroks, and after a lot of talk, Ezlo wants to come with you. Start walking, and Ezlo will stop you three times. On the third time, he will decide that he is now your hat for the remainder of the game.
- "Augh! If it isn't one thing, it's another! You are a troublesome boy!"
- — Ezlo. Geez, he just met you
With Ezlo as your new head gear, go south. When you get to the tree stump in the southeasternmost corner, Ezlo will explain its importance as a Minish Portal. Do as he instructs and shrink to Minish size. Continue on to the left. Travel through the tunnel in the stump and continue until you come to the puddle. Step onto the a leaf as it comes around, and get off at the northern stop. Continue on to enter the Minish Village.
In the Minish Village you will find that the Minish speak a language that you cannot understand. Travel north until you come to a large building with hexagonal shapes on the roof. Inside, speak with Festari, who will tell you where to find the Jabber Nut. Continue to the barrel house, which is in the eastern edge of the village. Enter the house through the ladder on top. Go inside and up to encounter your first block puzzle! Actually, it's hardly a puzzle at all. Just push the block in the way to the left or right. Continue on to get the Jabber Nut!
Now that you understand the language, speak with the Minish elder in the northwestern corner of the village. (his house is all mushroomy. You can't miss it). The elder will instruct you about and mark the locations of the four elements needed to restore the Four Sword. Your first destination is the Deepwood Shrine, the location where you spoke with Festari earlier. Go there, and enter your first dungeon!
Deepwood Shrine Part One
- "A Minish shrine filled with monsters? It sounds dangerous in there! We'd better be careful...I mean, you'd better be careful!"
- — Wow, Ezlo is such a coward
Alrighty, time to charge through the Deepwood Shrine! A good dungeon, considering it's the first (and it has great music). Jumping right in, walk forward to find three statues. Simply push the front one to left to get past to the next room. This next room is pretty dark, and you'll notice there are four torches with buttons next to them. Walk around and press all four buttons (kill any Sluggulas in your way) and light all the torches. A Treasure Chest will appear. Open it to get a Small Key! Continue forward and open the locked door into the next room.
In the next room, you'll find that water blocks a straight path. Avoid the Sluggulas that fall from the ceiling and proceed to a lever-like switch device on the far side of the room (Ezlo will point this out to you). Press R to grab it and pull it back all the way. This triggers the creation of a bridge across the hazardous water! But wait! You're still blocked to the other side. Not to worry. Grab the mushroom thing on the left and pull it back in the direction of the bridge. When you reach the bridge, stop pulling (but keep holding down R) and the mushroom will launch Link across the water to the other side. In the next room is a giant barrel! Giant to Minish, that is. In reality it's a regular human-sized barrel. Anyway, walk to the right and past the Puffstool. Don't worry, we'll be able to deal with these dusty guys who would give your mother a heart attack later. Walk up the stairs directly above the Puffstool's dusty area. Up on top is another switch that lights a torch. Step on the switch, and the torch will light and burn the vines holding the large barrel. The right side of the barrel is now free on its axis.
Now for the left side. Go back to the entrance of the room. An opening in the barrel can be found on the right side. Walk in, and inside the barrel, another opening is on the far left (the barrel can't turn freely yet, so just walk over there). On the outside, walk left, past the area of two Puffstools, and go down. Another flight of stairs is over here on the left side. Up here, there are two switches. Walk past the switch closest to you and continue on past the statue on its left side. Circle around so you are facing the statue on its right side. Now, simply push the statue left onto the switch and walk and stand on the other switch. The same chain reaction will sever the left side of the barrel from the vines.
The barrel is now free to turn! Go back to the entrance on the left side of the barrel. Since the barrel now turns when you walk, it will reveal new entrances. Once inside, walk directly down. Keep walking until the new entrance right where you are walking (on the bottom left of the barrel) is revealed. Walk through it. On the outside, continue left into the next room. Go to the left side of the room and up to discover another mushroom. Grab it and pull it all the way back as far as it will go. Launch over to the far side and travel up the steps and open the large blue treasure chest to receive the Dungeon Map! To view the map, go to the start screen and scroll with R or L until you see it labeled "Map."
After getting the map, walk down to the end of the ledge and jump off to the left (the side with the mushroom). This time, we only want to pull the mushroom about a third of the way back so we only jump over the first little water pool. On the other side, walk through the doorway. In this room, first kill the Pesto so it's not a nuisance to you. You'll find that the switch that creates the bridge must be held down by something. On the left is a Pot. Walk over to it, and push it all the way over to cover the switch. Walk across the newly created bridge.
In the next room, you will find two statues next to two switches. Of course pushing them onto the switches makes a treasure chest appear. But you can't get to it! Or can you? Push the left statue onto the switch. Then, however, pull the right statue out to the right one unit. Walk to the left side of it, then pull it with you and onto the switch. Now, you are on the inside and can access the treasure chest to get...another small key! Push the statue out of your way and exit the room.
Head all the way back to the barrel (make sure you push the block down one unit to exit the room with the dungeon map treasure chest). Enter the barrel and immediately walk to the right side. Then, simply walk forward to turn the barrel until you exit out of the top right side. On the outside, walk all the way to the right and open the locked door. Walk to the mushroom and launch to the other side. Then, on the left, hit the switch to create a bridge. Grab the mushroom on the top and walk upscreen across the bridge to launch to the bottom half of the room. In this room, there are two statues. Push the statue on the left up against the right statue. Then, walk to the other side of the room and pull the right statue all the way back to the right side of the door switch. Then, return to the left side of the other statue and push it on to the switch to open the door. In the next room, defeat the Mulldozers to get another small key! Exit the door to your left.
Back in this room, walk up the stairs and up to the next screen. Jump down and travel through the opening. First, let's go down the stairs at the top of the room. In the room, first push any one of the pots onto the switch to make a treasure chest appear. For now, we can't get to it, but we will later. Next, head over to the blue treasure chest. Push the right block up and then the left block left. Walk to the chest and get the Compass! We're done in here, so return to the other room and this time, travel through the door on the left side of the room. In this room, carefully avoid the Puffstools and make your way to the left side of the room. Step on the visible switch on you way there. Go through the locked door, and enter the room of...the mini-boss!
Mini-boss: Madderpillar
To defeat this guy, you have to first slash his nose when he is walking toward you. Once slashed, Madderpillar's tail end will turn into a heart. Go around and slash that repeatedly. After so many hits, Madderpillar turns red and angrily crawls around. If he hits you, you'll take damage. Once he turns back to normal, rinse and repeat about two more times to defeat him. Open the treasure chest to get...the Gust Jar!
Deepwood Shrine Part Two
The Gust Jar is quite a handy tool. Go to your items screen and equip it to A or B (I prefer A). Now, just hold down the button it's assigned to to start sucking wind! Literally! This is the best way to clean your room, kids! Now with the Gust Jar, you'll notice an opening blocked by a spider Web in the bottom right of the room (not the opening on the right wall, but the opening on the south wall). Suck that web up with your Gust Jar, walk through the opening, and continue down to get your second Piece of Heart! Now, go back to the room before the mini-boss room.
We can now suck up all this dust and even better, we can kill those pesky Puffstools. To eliminate a Puffstool, suck them until they turn gray to stun them, then go to town with the sword. Also, if you suck up a pot in your jar, launching it into a Puffstool will also kill them. So, time for some cleanup. In the upper left of the room, suck up all the dust to reveal two switches. Step on them to reveal two treasure chests. Open them to get Mysterious Shells! These will come in handy later. Now, use your Jar to clear away the dust in the center part of the room (below the ledge) and on the left side, you will uncover a switch. If you haven't already hit the one on the right, do so and then step on the left one. On the ledge a blue warp pad will appear! You can now warp to the Piece of Heart up there from the second blue pad in the entrance of the dungeon. (An easy and quick way to get to the beginning is save and quite, then start again. You can easily warp to the Piece of Heart and continue on!)
Get the Heart Piece with the shortcut if you want (or get it later) and then continue on. We don't need to be here anymore, so leave through the opening in the center of the south wall to get back in the barrel room. Go left and push the block out of your way and enter the left side of the barrel. In the barrel, go to the center and start walking. Soon, a web-covered hole should show up in the direct center. Use the Gust Jar to get rid of that baby! Next, drop through that new hole down to the unknown B2 level...
Down here walk to the edge of the shallow water. After Ezlo's useless comment, use the Gust Jar to pull the big lily pad to you so you can walk on. You can now use the Gust Jar to emit small puffs of air that will propel you across the water! If Link is facing right, when you puff out air, the lily pad will travel to the left and vice versa. Puff yourself down the small waterfall and go right. In the next area, turn onto the water way that goes right. Puff yourself up to the big stairs and go up to an area with a switch and a bunch of pots. Pick up a couple pots so one is free for you to push onto the switch. Once you've done that, the statues blocking your way through the water to your right will go down. Get back on your lily-boat and puff all the way back to the room where you got the compass! You can now puff all the way up to the other side of the treasure chest you made appear earlier and open it to get a small key!
Now, travel back to the room you were first in (where you first got on the lily pad) and this time go up. Travel all the way left (travel fast so Sluggulas won't fall onto your lily-boat) and go all the way to the locked door. Open it and go into the next room. In this room, first go up and grab the mushroom to get to the other side. Keep going and you'll see another mushroom, but this time it's on the opposite side of the water! Not to worry. Just stand on the water's edge and use the Gust Jar to suck the mushroom to you. When it reaches, you will automatically be launched over. Do the same with the next mushroom.
Go down, and with the next mushroom, you have to stand all the way back against the right wall before sucking the mushroom to you. This way, you will be launched all the way to the big blue treasure chest. Open it to get...the Big Key! Now we can face the boss. So go down and step on the switch to make a red warp pad appear. Step into it to be taken all the way to the beginning of the dungeon.
Now is a good time to use the blue warp to get that Heart Piece if you haven't already. Back in the main room, first suck away the web from the stairs on the left side. Go up and push the block in front of the chest to the right and open it to get 20 rupees. Then return to the beginning room. This time, go right and suck the web from these stairs to go to the right side of the boss room. First, stand far enough back and launch yourself to the opposite side. Then go down and right to be facing the mushroom on a direct course to the boss door. Launch yourself to the door and get ready.
Boss: Big Green ChuChu
This guy is pretty straight forward. To defeat him, you have to suck his gooey base out from under him. When he gets too close, run around to another side of him and continue to suck away. Once you've sucked everything away, he will start to sway, and he will eventually fall over. To avoid being crushed, run around him in circles (rolling helps), and you should be out of the way when he falls. Once he falls, slash away. After the first slashing session, the ChuChu will start jumping. Dodge his jumps and repeat the sucking and slashing process again. Each time, he jumps around even more so just dodge until he's done. After about three times of slashing, he should be defeated. You have now obtained the Earth Element! Grab the Heart Container and take the green warp out of there.

Reducing pre and post decision anxiety or reducing dissonance is an important function of the salesperson. Recognizing that the buyer's dissonance varies both according to whether the product is an established or a new one, and whether the salesperson client relation is ongoing or new, these are four types of cases involving the salesperson's role.
1. An established product – an ongoing salesperson – client relationship. Unless the market is unstable, the buyer tends toward automatic response behavior, in which no learning is involved and thus experiences little, if any, dissonance; but insofar as it does occur, the salesperson is effective because the salesperson is trusted by the buyer.
2. An established product – a new salesperson – client relationship. The salesperson, being new, is less effective in reducing dissonance.
3. A new product and ongoing salesperson-client relationship. Unless the buyer generalizes from personal experience with an established similar product, the buyer experiences dissonance, especially if it is an important product. Because of the established relationship with the buyer, the salesperson can reduce dissonance.
4. A new product-a new salesperson-client relationship. The buyer needs dissonance reduction, and the salesperson is less capable of providing it.
How can a salesperson facilitate the buyer's dissonance reduction? Two ways are
(1) to emphasize the advantages of the product purchased, while stressing the disadvantages of the forgone alternatives, and
(2) to show that many characteristics of the chosen item are similar to products the buyer has forgone, but which are approved by the reference groups.
In other words, the buyer experiencing cognitive dissonance needs reassuring that the decision is or was a wise one; the salesperson provides information that permits the buyer to rationalize the decision

Care for the elderly, but who cares?Posted on: 23 February 2010 by Gareth Hargreaves
Providing care and dignified living standards for Britain's increasing number of elderly is too important an issue to ignore – the crisis is with us now and it needs sorting once and for all.
Have you noticed the recent debate around that old thorny issue of 'Care for the Elderly'?
I may be a cynic, but it seems to me this topic gets dragged out around every election and suddenly all the parties have a view; a new plan; a 'brave' new initiative; 'The' solution! The election comes and goes along with interest in care issues; there is no solution just a good old patch up and the carers (both paid and unpaid) stumble on to the next opportunity of awareness.
This is a very current issue and it is not going to go away – it is going to get worse. Why is no political party prepared to grasp the nettle of care and how to pay for it. The answer is simple – there is no solution that we can afford as a nation. The numbers are just too big and would swamp any government's coffers.
Scotland pays for all care irrespective of your income or assets. But after only a few years they are already finding that it is not a policy that is sustainable. Within a couple of years they are going to have modified the eligibility criteria to make it affordable to the tax payer.
For many years I have been baffled why someone has not matched the desire to work by our older population with the need for carers that genuinely care and have the natural skills to help a dependent older person. This would fill the skill gap and be a step in the right direction. For a start this would help ease the situation of the hundreds of thousands of unpaid carers in families throughout the land. It might stop the ignominy of thousands of people who are cared for by younger members of the family – many of whom are children. Before we preach to other countries about child labour we should get our own house in order.
Accepting that there is no shortage of hands to do the work the big challenge is how to pay for it. One way is to make it free for everyone who needs care and raise taxes to pay for it – or better still reduce government spending and waste. Don't like that? Then levy a consumer tax on tobacco, alcohol and foods that have high levels of fat in them. A lot of care needs are caused by these products so let those that use them contribute towards their future care costs as they use them.
An added plus of this strategy would be to reduce NHS costs at the same time! You don't like that solution? Then try this for size! Everybody gets free care when they need it, but once they have died their estate reimburses the cost on a sliding scale dependent on the size of the estate of the deceased. This way the really needy pay nothing and the very rich pay a lot – seems fair to me. There are plenty of actuaries and accountants that could work out such a scheme and make it fair. This way the users pay for what they use. The cost of those unable to pay anything would be paid out of taxes – exactly as it is now.
This is too important an issue to let it drag on for another government term of five years – the crisis is with us now and it needs sorting once and for all.
To put this in place will require a strong government with a strong leader and the determination to get it done. A touch of the Barak Obama spirit is needed - Yes we can!

November 2016 Note from Doug…………..
Fellow Hybridizers and Hosta Enthusiasts:
Hello Hybridizers:
A most interesting season and a very challenging fall !!!!! My work with trtraploids ( tets ) continues with a couple of interesting results. There are a few tet selections if you wish to get started. I would direct you to # 60 and # 61. Folt ( Flash of Light tet streaked – but untested as a tet ) has given me some great results with other known tets, namely Whirlwind and Second Wind. I have found Lakeside Sir Logan to be very agreeable with other tets both ways ! But not many of those seeds. I'm up to the where I have F2 plants that have 4 different grandparents all tets and growing strong and setting pods. I still have an offer of exchanging seedlings from tet crosses with anybody that has some. About the Blue Cadet str seed pac, I average about 1-2 str seedlings per year from that plant but they tend to fade.
The fall challenge has been the chipmunks. A real explosion in numbers and those little varmints are hungry in the fall. Many of the plants that I had marked for harvest were stripped by the time I went back to collect the pods. Thus, the total over all offerings are decreased in numbers as well as the available pacs.
On another note I have fallen into the red leaf challenge. Trying to catch up with the crowd that has several years of advanced progress will be a challenge. Actually, I would like to hear from any of you with plants to exchange in the red project. I can't wait for this winter's seedlings to start to germinate. That said there are a few red plant offerings. Fully half of my breeding program went that way this year. It should be an interesting winter seedling growing season.
I have the easy part in this seed thing. Much thanks to son-in-law's Kevin and Andy, their beautiful wives, our daughters, Megan and Amy, but the chief cook and bottle washer is Mardy my bride, thank you all.
Want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.
Good luck in your seedling selections and growing this fall.

The High Energy Ignition (HEI) system, found on 1975-79 vehicles, is a pulse-triggered, transistor-controlled, inductive discharge ignition system which does not use contact breaker points. V8 distributors have all ignition components internally. Six-cylinder distributors have an externally-mounted ignition coil. The centrifugal and vacuum advance units are basically the same as those used to provide spark advance in breaker point distributors.
Engine ignition timing is adjusted the same as previous models, however observe the following items when working with HEI systems:
- Timing light connections should be made in parallel using an adapter at the distributor No. 1 terminal.
- Larger diameter (8 mm) spark plug wiring is used. Carefully twist the boots about a half turn in either direction to break the seal on the spark plugs.
- Connect dwell/tachometers to the "tach" terminal in the distributor cap connector and to ground. Some tachometers must connect from the "tach" terminal to the battery positive terminal. Follow the tachometer manufacturer's instructions.

Blue Water Grill Restaurant Review: Blue Water Grill is located in a former bank building in Union Square. The kitchen crafts an almost exclusive seafood menu. Lobster claws its way into bisque. Or order it live and then bid it 'adieu' for a grilled, broiled or steamed send off. The mollusk is even lobbed between brioche slices at lunch. Offerings at the raw bar beckon, too. Before or after you get to all of this, be it at the bar or the mezzanine, break the ice with an old acquaintance over a Cantaloupe Cosmopolitan or the Hibiscus Fruit Punch. Come for Sunday brunch and the eggs Benedict.

Topless mecca Cheetahs set up a VIP room named after the warlock last year following his infamous tiger blood-fueled TV appearances, the New York Post reported.
For 250-dollars a head, guests could eat sushi off the body of the club's goddesses in the privacy of the "Charlie Sheen Room," which was plastered with grinning pictures of him.
But Sheen's lawyers made sure Cheetahs would not be winning with that strategy. They slapped chiefs of the West 43rd Street "gentlemen's club" with a cease-and-desist letter, demanding the room be immediately dismantled.
Sam Zherka, president of the parent company that owns Cheetahs, told Page Six it created the Charlie Sheen space a year ago because, "We figured it would be comical to name a room after him. It was a room where you could dine on sushi served on cellophane on the body of one of our entertainers, not where you do crack.
"Then we got notification from his lawyer to cease and desist, claiming the usage of his name would be detrimental to his persona. They said they would sue us for millions if we carried on.
"How could sushi damage Charlie Sheen's reputation?" Zherka mused. We thought dedicating a room to dine in his honor would help repair and elevate his image. He should have called us up and thanked us.
"We have now removed his name, he wasn't doing big business for us anyway. We had a little ritual and threw his image in garbage — a celebration of Charlie Sheen being dumped," the president of the company said.

Since our founding, Open Path has matched more than 7,000 clients across the country to affordable psychotherapeutic care. Additionally, Open Path has had over 15,000 students sign on to take one of our affordable online wellness classes.
Mission and vision
In partnership with licensed mental health clinicians in private practice throughout the fifty states, Open Path Psychotherapy Collective provides middle and lower-income level individuals, couples, families, and children with access to affordable psychotherapy and mental health education services. While affordable psychotherapy for all remains the ideal, our organization is dedicated to leveling the current mental health playing field by reaching the growing number of Americans who earn too much to qualify for subsidized psychotherapeutic services and too little to pay for private psychotherapy.

Before beginning his own private psychotherapy practice, he spent five years as counselor and supervisor at Esperanza, NY, a community-based agency designed to implement procedural reform throughout the juvenile justice system in New York City.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
Dwyane Wade's season ended last month...but that doesn't mean the NBA superstar still isn't putting in work.
Earlier this week, the Miami Heat All-Star shooting guard shared a Snapchat story of he and his wife, Gabrielle Union, laying in between the sheets and sweating in what appears to be a post-smash social session.
This is the first time we could say that D. Wade and Gabby give zero Fs and give an F at the same damn time...literally!
Hey, if this isn't major married bliss keys, we don't know what is!
Dead over the words "her face tho" and "she ain't about that lyfe" scrolling across his Snapchat story.
Dwyane and Gabrielle have no chill whatsoever and we love it.
We already know that the power couple channeled Beyoncé, while vacationing in Saint Tropez with Wade's teammate Chris Bosh and his wife, Adrienne, late last month. And we ain't mad at Dwyane for choosing Gabby over watching his friend, LeBron James, in the NBA Finals, either. All this adds up to quite the hot summer thus far for the star-studded pair.
Gabby even kept the candid bedroom clips coming on her IG.
And the summer's just beginning...

Organisation: European Union (EU)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
About EU:
The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political partnership between 28 European countries that together cover much of the continent. The EU was created in the aftermath of the Second World War. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: the idea being that countries who trade with one another become economically interdependent and so more likely to avoid conflict. The result was the European Economic Community (EEC), created in 1958, and initially increasing economic cooperation between six countries: Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Since then, a huge single market has been created and continues to develop towards its full potential.

Depending on the area in which you live, you may be legally able to build a house in a flood plain. Although the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map the country's flood plains and administer the flood insurance program, local municipalities also make laws governing the building in floodplains. These construction and building codes vary from location to location, so each property owner must consult the local planning office and submit to its procedures.
Things You'll Need
- Property title/deed
- BFE data
- Special permit or variance
- Flood insurance
- Architect
- Builder
- FEMA Elevation Certificate
Interview architects and builders to find one with experience building in flood plains and in the locality where you will construct the home.
Contract with the chosen architect and builder.
Visit the planning office of the city or town in which you will build to consult the flood plain map for the flood zone and base flood elevation (BFE) for the property. Take the property title to show ownership and in case it's required for any permit or variance application.
Consult with a city planner in the local office to determine what permits and variances are required.
Obtain and complete the permit and variance applications. (You may need to consult with the architect on the project for some information.)
Build the property with all living areas beginning above the BFE and adhering to any additional locality requirements.
Buy flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program.
Apply for and obtain the FEMA Elevation Certificate. The architect for the project will complete and submit this document. An engineer or surveyor may also be able to complete this document depending on state laws or regulations.
Tips & Warnings
- --Call the city planning office to ask for recommendations of local architects and builders before beginning your interview process. Its personnel will know who has experience in flood plain construction projects.
- --Find out the average processing time for each application or certificate needed, then add two weeks to it for your planning purposes.
- --Begin the FEMA Elevation Certificate process as soon as possible. Some states, such as North Carolina, require it before allowing the electricity to be turned on.
- Living in high-risk flood zones such as AE or VE presents an increased danger to life and property. Before moving into the new home, learn flood safety procedures and make a family emergency plan.

Dream team!
It takes at least six months to begin to see the results of a hair transplant. I just had mine done last week, so it's way too early to comment on results. What I can comment on, however, is the process and the experience. Going into my procedure I was well aware of Dr. Sean's credentials and reputation. That's why I chose him. But, I had no idea that I'd be in for such a pleasant experience (a word that I probably wouldn't have associated with a process that puts a thousand holes in your scalp and lasts for two whole days). Dr. Sean and his technicians Michelle and Ismael are a DREAM TEAM! Aside from being amazingly meticulous in ways that have left me with no pain and little visual evidence of the surgery just a few days after the procedure, these three professionals really took care of me during the 18+ hours I sat in their chair. They were incredibly attentive to my comfort and were my cheerleaders in those last few hours when the fatigue kicked in. We laughed and joked, and I had two really good lunches. These are the elements of the process that people don't typically talk about. I didn't consider it at all when researching hair transplant specialists. I got lucky. If you live in Southern California and are looking for the high-tech FUE procedure AND the undivided attention of a highly-skilled and compassionate team, there's no place else to consider. Oh, and pricing is great, and they made financing really easy!
