Camden has some "very dynamic market things" going on, according to Tripp Muldrow of Arnett Muldrow, the Greenville-based firm hired by the city of Camden to conduct a marketing study, tourism plan and branding effort.
This week is National Newspaper Week but I felt that the federal government shutdown was more important and was struck by several things during the week I wanted to share.
It's hard to argue with the numbers: the S.C. Department of Corrections (SCDC) has reduced its inmate population almost to 1998 levels and begun generating a surplus after several years of severe deficits.
Camden City Council will take up five proclamations and three resolutions during its regular meeting Tuesday. Council will not hold an afternoon work session.
Bill Byars spent his last day as the director of the S.C. Department of Corrections (SCDC) Monday. It marked the third time Byars, who lives in Kershaw County just north of Camden, has retired from some type of public or government service.
Hundreds of people -- perhaps several thousand -- attended Camden's 18th annual Fire Fest at Rhame Arena Saturday. Many of those people lined a long stretch of Broad Street to watch as hundreds of fire trucks and related vehicles -- some vintage and some from as far away as Pennsylvania -- paraded through the city to the arena. Those same people cheered as a pair of skydivers, one trailing South Carolina's Palmetto flag, the other the American flag, landed in a field behind the arena.
Did you know that if you follow the first line of directions on a bottle of extra strength acetaminophen (the primary ingredient in Tylenol and its generic copies) you can actually exceed the safe amount you can take in 24 hours?
A majority of Camden City Council voted Tuesday night to award a more than $47,000 bid to a Colorado firm to rewrite design guidelines used by the Camden Historic Landmarks Commission (CHLC). An attempt to table the vote failed, 2-3, followed by a lengthy discussion and a 3-2 vote to award the bid to Winter & Company of Boulder, Colo.
On a night when the KershawHealth Board of Trustees was saying good-bye to three of its own and welcoming their replacements, trustees voted unanimously Monday to give a 2.25 percent across-the-board salary increase to employees beginning Oct. 1.
Tree limbs are believed responsible for a more than two-hour power outage in the northeast section of downtown Camden Monday night. Public Works Director Tom Couch said the outage affected the Chesnut Street circuit starting between 8 and 8:30 p.m.
Last week, I used a TV series to talk about bullies. This week, it's conspiracy theories through the lens of a single episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (commonly referred to as TNG).
Camden City Council will consider signing an intergovernmental agreement with Kershaw County that would pool portions of each side's accommodation tax revenues to fund a tourism development director position employed by the city. Council will consider the agreement during its regular meeting Tuesday at 6:30 p.m.
How to define Camden? That is the central question surrounding a new effort to market the city to tourists that kicked off Wednesday night at the historic Robert Mills Courthouse. Using a series of three "fun" questions, Tripp Muldrow, of Greenville-based marketing firm Arnett Muldrow, got most of about 75 residents to help describe Camden:
I've always been a physically small person. As I'm sure many of you can imagine, that led to being bullied quite a bit as a younger person. In fact, I'd dare say that it wasn't until my sophomore year of college that most of the folks around me matured enough not to engage in such behavior.
I'm going to head some folks off at the pass right from the start with this column because I know they'll be fuming just from reading my headline.

COMMENTARY: There is no legitimate agenda for state government that does not move forward on the day that politicians and public servants find themselves honestly and transparently accountable to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within their public service.
In November of this year, the entire N.M. State Legislature will stand for election — 70 representatives and 42 senators.
It is at least theoretically possible that majorities — 36 House members and 22 senators — could be elected that would then vote to adopt the highest standards of conduct and competence for politicians, public servants and public service in the State of New Mexico.
It is at least theoretically possible that those same courageous individuals would vote in favor of their own ruthless accountability to those standards.
That is all they are — theoretically possible.
History tells a far different story.
This isn't the first time voters have had the opportunity to elect representatives who would, as their first order of business, protect the people's power and resources from waste, fraud and abuse. This will be the 53rd time.
If ethics, standards and accountability were the only issue in the next election, all 112 representatives and senators would be elected based on their manifest support of their own, honest-to-God accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within their public service.
Standards and accountability will not be the only issue; they are likely to not be an issue at all.
In the end, very few people, and therefore very few political candidates, are able to summon the character and courage to be held honestly and transparently accountable to the highest standards of conduct and competence. That, and the that political process in New Mexico is inherently perverting.
Standards and accountability could be made an issue; they could be made the issue in the primary and general elections if there were an object on which attention could be focused.
Imagine an amendment and legislative proposal of fewer than a dozen pages. It represents the best efforts of a large number of good and decent people to tweak the Constitution and state statutes, and in so doing, provide honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence within public service to the state and to the people of New Mexico.
Imagine a proposal that creates and enables the epitome of what we seek in transparently accountable government.
What stands in the way really? Do we lack the expertise, the intelligence, the experience, and the imagination to create such a proposal?
It's a matter of our will, not of our capability.
New Mexico could be the model for open and honest government. We could pop up first rather than last in Google searches for governmental best practices.
Every candidate for a seat in the Legislature could be handed a proposal that they will co-sponsor or face being held accountable by voters.
All it would take would be a handful of people who cast bigger shadows than I, to say, "We could do this; this would work."
Ched MacQuigg is a retired shop teacher and blogger. He has been a longtime advocate of honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct for politicians and public servants — in particular for the leadership of the Albuquerque Public Schools.

Thank you all very much for your good wishes..
I'm a bit staggered how accurate the image on Cole's post is.. I really don't remember any hill, perhaps with 4 of the 6 kids still at home, I'm still on the incline.
I've had a pretty quiet day and ready to get back into it tomorrow.

Think you know a lot about the news?
Maybe you know nothing about the news.
Either way, this column will work out well for you.
It's the news of the week, delivered trivia-style.
This past week, Orlando made headlines for being ranked as:
A) One of the most creative cities in America.
B) One of the most romantic cities in America.
C) Having the most polite drivers in America.
Answer: Both A and B are true — which is pretty cool. The real-estate site Movoto.com says we're the second-most-creative city in America, based on the number of people employed as artists, our high number of craft stores and more. And...

Saudi SOE Partners with Bunge to Buy Stake in Canadian Grain Handler
Saudi Arabia and its neighbors in the Gulf heavily rely on imported food. 80% to 90% of their food is imported. The kingdom's neighbor, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), created a unit to invest in farmland and other food opportunities called Hassad Food. Saudi Arabia has done the same. In 2011, late Saudi King Abdullah formed Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co (SALIC) to secure food supplies for the kingdom.

This takes place right before the episode "Evolution".
Jean Luc nervously entered the turbolift. Taking a deep breath, he clinched his hands by his sides and gruffly said, "Deck 8." Trying hard to concentrate on the panel, he ignored the queasiness in his stomach and the pin-prick hole in his heart. She had returned to the ship about ten hours ago.
Ten hours…
For ten long hours he has been thinking of her – only her. Of course had had been thinking about her for the year she had been away, but she wasn't near him. Now she is on the ship…
We should be afraid.
Jean Luc let out the breath he was hold through his teeth. It was a lot easier to believe those words during the past year. Now, with her so close, he began to doubt himself. Did he make the right choice? Should he have gone back and beg for her forgiveness? Should he beg for forgiveness now?
As the turbolift opened, Jean Luc stood rooted to his spot as his options rolled through his head. Should he? Shouldn't he? Was it right? Was it wrong? Can things be changed?
Jean Luc focused his eyes on an ensign that was new to the ship. He cleared his throat and smiled, which turned out to be more of a grimace. Stepping out of the turbolift, he nodded to the unknown ensign and made his way down the corridor. Before he knew it, he was at her door with no solution as what to do. Unexpectedly, the door to her quarters slid open. Surprised, Jean Luc stepped back as he saw Wesley coming towards him.
Wesley was just as shocked to see the Captain, but he smiled and said, "Oh, hello there Captain." He tilted he head back and yelled over his shoulder, "Mom, Captain Picard is here." He looked back at the Captain and started to make his way out the door. "I'm sorry sir, but I'm already late for my physics class." Seeing Jean Luc nod, he leaned in and whispered, "She is very excited to be back, sir." Straitening himself out, Wesley smiled at the Captain and then left for his class.
When he saw that Wesley was out of sight, Jean Luc smiled to himself. He felt his heart soar. She was excited to be back… he was just as excited for her to be back into his life. He didn't care if she was back as a friend or as a doctor or as a lover; she was back.
"Jean Luc?"
The sound of her voice startled him out of his thoughts. He looked up and saw her standing in front of him holding a PADD. He noticed that she had shorter hair. He loved her long hair. He loved to thread his fingers through her hair. He loved to move her hair from his favorite spot on her neck. He loved seeing her sleep with her hair curled around her like a halo. He missed her long hair. No matter though, all he saw in front of him was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
And then a single thought hit him like a ton of rock – I should have never pushed her away.
Closing his eyes, he tried to regain his emotions that clouded his heart. Right then and there, he knew that he had made the biggest and stupidest mistake of his life. How was he going to fix it? Was it even fixable? Then like the dark rainy clouds opening to allow warm sunshine through, he felt a comforting hand on his cheek. He didn't have to open his eyes to see who it was. He had memorized that touch a long time ago. When he regained his emotions, he slowly opened his eyes and saw concern clouding hers. Shaking his head, he stepped out of her embrace and walked into her quarters. There were some boxes around, but for the most part they were empty. Clearing his throat of the last vestiges of his emotional breakdown a few seconds prior, he said, "Welcome back, Doctor. I can see that you are making yourself at home. How was your journey?"
Beverly closed the door but stayed rooted to her spot. She felt at a loss right now. She had imagined that she would have had at least 24 hours to compose herself before seeing him. Now all she could do was to rely on those Vulcan breathing techniques she had learned from her stay at Starfleet Medical. At first when she saw him, he looked deep in thought but happy. However, after saying his name, he became distant as his thoughts and emotions overtook his physical body. It wasn't until she had touched that he became his old captain self again. Looking in towards her own heart, she realized that that one touch broke down that wall she had carefully constructed from the time she left Earth. She had missed touching him and his touch on her. She had missed him – all of him, not just his touch.
The air in her quarters became stale in the awkward silence.
Sensing the new discomfort encompassing the room, Jean Luc tugged down on his uniform and looked up towards the ceiling. "I read Admiral Chechney's glowing report on how well Starfleet Medical is doing and how you will be a loss to their team. He noted that if at any time you are in need of a change, that you should reconsider coming back to Starfleet Medical." Of course Rick Chechney wanted her back; he had heard the rumors that he was trying really hard to sweep her off her feet, including an invitation to be his date for the Admiral's Ball. He was nothing but an immature bachelor who wanted the prettiest woman at the time on his arm… or in his bed. Swallowing his jealousy, he looked back at Beverly and smiled a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "You made quite an impression, Doctor."
Beverly blushed. Rick tried everything in his power to get her in his bed; a couple of dinners, an invitation to the Admiral's Ball and even asking her to go to New Orleans for the weekend. As much as she tried to like him, after one kiss, she knew he was not for her. After her numerous rejections, he stopped calling. Trying to swallow down the guilt of kissing another man, Beverly murmured, "I didn't do anything different than any other Starfleet Medical officer would do. In fact, it felt like I complained more that I missed the Enterprise and exploring new worlds and, well of course, I missed Wesley." She was rambling and she knew it, but anything was better than the cold silence.
Jean Luc grasped his hands behind his back as an air of sadness crossed his eyes. Then, ever-so-quietly, he whispered, "Is that all you missed?"
With her emotional wall crumbling around her and no time to build it back up, she instinctively said, "No." Catching her slip, she slammed her eyes shut and started using her breathing techniques again. Rolling her shoulders back, she opened her eyes and with a false confident voice, she explained, "Half way through my tenure at Starfleet Medical, I became aware…" for a moment her words became caught in her throat. She swallowed her fear and continued, "… that my place as a doctor was not behind some desk shifting bureaucratic papers around. So I finished out my term with a research project to help and improve medical triage on all starships. It was approved the day I left to come back to the Enterprise." She walked over and handed him the PADD she was holding. "On it are the changes Sickbay will be making to make triage more efficient."
As he grabbed the PADD from her, his fingers accidently brushed her fingers. For a moment, he didn't move away, but rather rejoiced in her touch once more. In one second, he felt all his hope restored. He realized that the spark between them never truly went away; it just diminished while she was away. And now that she is back, he was going to stop at nothing to get her back and to right his stupid mistake. As he stepped closer, he raised his hand and cupped her cheek. As he felt those magnificent emotions take over his body, he knew it was time to tell her of his love.
The atmosphere in her quarters became heated as they each looked at each other letting the love and loss passed between them quietly.
Feeling his hand on her cheek, Beverly leaned into his embrace. Somewhere in the back on her mind, she knew that she couldn't allow herself to get this close to him. But at the moment, her heart could care less what her mind was telling her. He was so close to her… touching her… feeling her breath. Feeling those old, glorious emotions taking over her body, she knew it was the perfect time to tell him about her.
Now was the time. As that thought crossed both of their minds, they moved closer to each other. The PADD that they were both holding fell to the floor as their hands melted into one. Both knew, it was the perfect time to tell each other their deep secrets. At once, they both began to talk.
"I lo-"
"We ha-"
Both realizing their mistake, they laughed quietly. Giving each other enough time to regain themselves, Jean Luc spoke first. "What did you want to say?"
Wanting to give herself more encouragement, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After a moment, she looked back at him and quietly murmured, "Jean Luc, when I was at Starfleet command… I was… I was p-"
"Riker to Captain Picard."
Jean Luc didn't respond at first. He looked over to Beverly wanting her – no, needing her to tell him what she had to say. When he saw her bow her head to her chest, he reluctantly let go of her hand and tapped his communicator. "What is it, Number One?"
Feeling the profound loss of losing their connection and missing her perfect opportunity to tell him, Beverly bent down to pick up the PADD. She heard Riker say, "Sir, Dr. Stubbs just arrived on board and is very… eager to meet with you."
Taking a step away from her, he responded, "Very well. Please escort Dr. Stubbs to the observation lounge. I will meet with him shortly. Picard out." Looking back at Beverly, he saw that she held out the PADD and smiled a sad smile. Right then and there, he knew he lost his perfect opportunity to tell her. Taking the PADD from her, he smiled as best as he could and said, "Welcome back, Doctor."
Noticing the use of her title, Beverly stiffly nodded and replied, "Thank you, Captain. I shall see you at the senior staff meeting."
Being dismissed from her quarters, Jean Luc nodded and made his way out. "See you then, Doctor."

How Long Before Delivery Can A Cake Be Made?
Decorating By Nanabug Updated 21 Aug 2010 , 4:57pm by indydebi
Cake bakers & decorators:
How long in advance can a decorated cake be made and safely kept until serving? I have a groom's cake that would need to completed by Tuesday night for a wedding on Saturday. The mother of the groom will have to travel 6 hours with the cake to the wedding destination. She is a very dear friend and I would love to make the cake for her, but I want it to be good!
Please share your opinions!
Thank you,
Nanabug (Debra)
that depends... what filling are you using? what about icing?
Will there be an oppotunity to freeze it for a couple of days?
Tuesday to Saturday is too long in my book without freezing.

does anyone know of a great work at home job?
There are lots of work at home jobs out there. Katie made a great post about how to start looking for one (I will try to find it for you!). I'd focus first on what kind of job you want, and how many hours you are able to devote to it, then start looking around on different websites and check out their careers sections. The ability to work from home is becoming more and more common!
Here's the post from Katie: https://moms.com/post/194332/work-from-home-jobs/
I started my own business and I love it, but it can definitely be stressful. There's no guaranteed paycheck and I'm responsible for everything. Still, it's given me a lot of freedom to stay home with my daughter :)
This is a popular subject here at Moms.com. I suggest you check out the link Beth shared as well as other threads from past discussions.

Emily Dickinson
Emily was born on December 10, 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. She rarely left her home and never really had many visitors. Those who were in her life had a big influence on her writings. Her father and brother both held highly esteemed political jobs while her sister lived mostly in isolation as Emily did. Emily had several relationships that very strongly influenced her writings. These relationships are known as to be romantic or not. Emily was not recognized for her work during her lifetime. Instead, once she died forty handbound versions of about 1,800 poems were found. Emily was raised on Puritan foundations but had not professed an absolute religion. Part of Emily's isolation came from her mother's lifestyle. Her mother and her did not have a thriving relationship. In fact Emily once wrote "Could you tell me what home is. I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled." To me, it could be inferred that Emily isolated herself as her mother was isolated from her children in their times of need. Emily never married and the explanation may just be in her poem "Part Three: Love XVII." Interesting enough this is not just the roman number for 16 it also means "I have lived" in Latin which could be implied that her life "is over."
Escape is such a thankful word
Escape is such a thankful Word (8)
I often in the Night (6)
Consider it unto myself (8)
No spectacle in sight (6)
Iambic tetrameter W/ Iambic trimeter
Escape — it is the Basket
In which the Heart is caught
When down some awful Battlement
The rest of Life is dropt —
'Tis not to sight the savior —
It is to be the saved —
And that is why I lay my Head
Upon this trusty word —
- The theme of this poem is escape through words. Emily uses how it felt to have the word escape on her mind and how it was a positive thing for her.
- She says "It is to be the saved." Using the word saves suggests a positive view of what escaping means to her.
- It's ironic how "escaping" is so dear to her but she rarely left her house.
- This is similar to "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" because the meter switched out between lines.
- Aspects of romanticism can be seen in this poem by its two way dept. There is the literal meaning behind her words of getting away and escaping (physically) but the poem is to escape "mentally."
Are Friends Delight or Pain?
Are Friends Delight or Pain? (6)
Could Bounty but remain (6)
Riches were good — (4)
Iambic Trimeter W/ Iambic diameter
But if they only stay (6)
Ampler to fly away (6)
Riches are sad. (4)
- The theme of this poem is how friends make somebody feel. Emily shows how they are a "delight" when you have them but once they leave you they is nothing but "pain."
- She says it very clearly: "But if they only stay." If they leave it's "sad."
- Very relatable.
- This is similar to "I heard a fly buzz - when i died" with its ending. This poem starts off with a question as to show how she feels. Many times when questions are asked in literature it is not because an answer is sought but really because the author wants the reader to ask the question and hopefully through the rest of the text understand and feel the same way. In "I heard a fly buzz - when i died" Emily again used a style to get the reader to understand her feeling or what she was trying to portray.
- Aspects of realism can be seen here where Emily is using verisimilitude. She is giving the reality of how friends can be a treasure, but only if they stay.

Another place worth visiting in Frankenmuth. Good service, not just their beers but some macro and BMC-ish stuff for non-craft drinkers. Decent liquor bar for non-beer drinkers along with the wine. I never had bad service in here. Always clean, if I lived closer, probably could go back.
rosenbergh (741) Tampere, Finland | October 3, 2016
We visited the brewery in a rainy day. There was a patio with the river view we couldn't enjoy. The food was quite alright and the service friendly. They had 18 beers on tap and they serve flights. Next time I feel Christmassy and visit Bronner's I will definitely pay them a visit again.
UDBeernut (348) Saint Johns, Florida | July 29, 2015
Walked down here from my hotel for dinner and a few cold ones during the hottest day in summer for this part if the world. Sat at the bar. Service was quick, beer was mediocre, food was ok, price was alittle high. Resturuant was way to hot.
HopTsing (40) Sandston, Virginia | December 20, 2014
Loved this place. It was large, spacious and clean. Liked that you could watch them making the beer while you were sitting at the bar. I liked all the beers, some more than others. The appetizer I had was tasty. I'm just sorry that they can't ship.
hubermi12 (23) , | February 17, 2014| Updated February 24, 2014
I'm really suprised by some of the ratings for this brewery. I reallly liked it. I think the brewery itself is really nice and in a good location. I also really like their beers. I hope to make a trip back soon.
UNLVFan (13) Las Vegas, Nevada | July 27, 2013
This review is overdue, we were at the brewpub about a week ago. I still remember the server that poured my last beer and she is the reason for the low rating of this brewpub. I saw two unmarked tap handles and asked if they were empty and was told one was for their black IPA. Later I asked another server for a black IPA and was promptly told they were out of the black IPA, when I told the server one of the untagged taps had the IPA she took my used glass and started filling it with the black IPA. I stopped her and got a clean glass. I wonder what else is done behind the patron's back.
hopdog (359) Lansdale, Pennsylvania | July 10, 2013
OK beer. Food was decent. Service was bad. I hate waiting 25 min for a table to be seated and see there are more empty tables than full - someone did not staff up correctly. Waitress immediately tells us how busy she is. Food order took forever to come, got our appetizers 2 min before the main dishes. Ordered a beer and saw it sit at the bar for 10 min. At least the bar tender poured it out and gave my waitress a fresh one before bringing it to me. Enough to make me not want to come back ....
andrewmb83 (5) Frankenmuth, Michigan | January 27, 2013
A nice place to go and eat, great food and okay beer. It is a beautiful building, very limited parking.
polomagnifico (15) Saginaw, Michigan | April 6, 2012
Great ambiance with large ceilings and dark wood interior. Food was spectacular as was the service. Great prices and the portions were huge. The beer selection is very limited and none of them are very good. I would go again for the food though.
paintedmaple (63) People's Republic of Bloomington, Indiana | July 4, 2011
Beautifully done brewpub with outstanding tiered outdoor seating overlooking the river. Food very good. Not to the bad part - the beer. Little to choose from, so I got an IPA which was served very cloudy and not at all hoppy. I asked the bartender why it so cloudy and he said that they got the lines crossed with the Hefeweizen. He didn't really seem to think that was a problem. Shame...shame...shame.

The genocide of Rohinga Muslims in Myanmar has been going on for some time now, much to the delight of Bonni and her fellow Hitler fans (OK, I suppose they'd like it even better if the genocide was of Jews, but Muslims are a good second best and when they've been burned to a crisp it's hard to tell the difference). Well, now one region of Myanmar has taken its genocidal policy one step further (and all from the Adolf Hitler Playbook too) by imposing breeding limits on Rohinga families.
Meanwhile, where is Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi? Surely she has been speaking up for the thousands of her countrymen being slaughtered in the name of religion? She's no longer in prison, she's the leader of the official parliamentary opposition, so even if she felt it risky to campaign vigorously, surely she will have made some statement condemning the violence. Something like "Now now, chaps, play nicely and if you have to burn down buildings full of Muslims at least allow bystanders to throw water on them when they fall to the ground smouldering: keeps down the smell, don't you know." Yes?
Not a word.
I am beginning to think that Aung San Suu Kyi is no more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than Barack Obama. On the one hand, a President who executes Americans and non-Americans alike without trial (or even much attempt at identification, et alone avoidance of civilian casualties). On the other, a political big-shot who has parlayed her Peace Prize into power and status, and whose silence in the face of genocide is to all intents complicity in it.
Perhaps we need a regulatory body which could strip such people of their undeserved prizes in the same way that Lance Armstrong and Ben Johnson were stripped of their Tour de France and Olympic titles when their cheating came to light. I'm not suggesting that ASSK and BO have done nothing worthwhile (for that matter Lance Armstrong's tactical skill wasn't drug-enhanced, and he was racing against equally doped-up riders so he must have had considerable raw talent). But they don't deserve the prizes: and only Johnson and Armstrong have paid the price. Tha really should change, and soon.

Relating tumor score to hematology in green turtles with fibropapillomatosis in Hawaii
Journal of Wildlife Diseases
- By:
- T.M. Work and G.H. Balazs
- More information: Publisher Index Page (html)
- Download citation as: RIS
The relationship between hematologic status and severity of tumor affliction in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) with fibropapillomatosis (FP) was examined. During 1 wk periods in July 1997 and July 1998, we bled 108 free-ranging green turtles from Pala'au (Molokai, Hawaii, USA) where FP is endemic. Blood was analyzed for hematocrit, estimated total solids, total white blood cell (WBC) count and differential WBC count. Each turtle was assigned a subjective tumor score ranging from 0 (no visible external tumors) to 3 (heavily tumored) that indicated the severity of FP. There was a progressive increase in monocytes and a decrease in all other hematologic parameters except heterophils and total numbers of white blood cells as tumor score increased. These data indicate that tumor score can relate to physiologic status of green turtles afflicted with FP, and that tumor score is a useful field monitor of severity of FP in this species.

Honestly, i never found braces to be something un-attractive as it's something out of your control. You're investing in your smile later and you were born with straight teeth. To me? it's not even close to a deal breaker.

Care in relation to maintaining the colour?11|00|0
When I had pink highlights in my red hair, my hairdresser gave me a bottle of indola hair colour shampoo and conditioern. It's good for any types of hair texture (thin or thick) and it helps make the colour last longer the the longer duration.
If you blow dry your hair, I suggest using a heat protectant. And after blow drying, a nice hair oil (if it's argan oil or macadamian oil/coconut oil) will leave it shiny and less frizzy.

The attorney for a Mankato football coach facing two felony counts of child pornography has asked the judge overseeing the case to dismiss the charges.
Jim Fleming, who represents Minnesota State University, Mankato football coach Todd Hoffner, filed a motion for dismissal in Blue Earth County District Court in advance of a hearing Wednesday before Judge Krista Jass.
Fleming asked that the charges against Hoffner be dismissed because the videos offered as evidence by prosecutors are "not child pornography," he wrote.
He also wrote that "there is absolutely no evidence Todd Hoffner intended the videos to be or knew or had reason to know the videos would be alleged a sexual performance or pornographic work."
Hoffner, 46, was charged in late August after three relatively brief videos of his three children dancing naked and touching themselves were found on a campus-issued cell phone.
According to court records, the coach brought the phone to the university's IT department Aug. 10 after it had malfunctioned. He has been on paid administrative leave from the school pending the outcome of a school investigation.
Fleming declined to elaborate Friday on his motion.
Blue Earth County prosecutor Michael Hanson, who has repeatedly declined to discuss the case publicly, was out of the office Friday could not be reached for comment.
County Attorney Ross Arneson also has consistently declined to discuss it. "I will not comment about this specific case, as any comments from me could increase pretrial publicity," he said in an email.

This brought back fond memories of years ago service on a Destroyer.
It came to me in the newsletter of the alumni association of the USS Robert H. McCard DD822
Great post! God bless you and thanks for your service to your country.
Aye, mate. Once a sailor, always a sailor.
Thank you & God Bless.
I'm going to read this to my Father,
who served in the REEVES DE156/APD52
Atlantic & Pacific, WW2.
I know he will appreciate it, and send his thanks too.
Nice post. Thanks.
Great post! Brings back a lot of memories!
Works for me. I was a Sonarman aboard a Destroyer....old Fletcher Class. Worse duty I ever had was shore duty.....especially after being at sea. Thanks for the post and as others have said "Brings back a lot of fond memories"......even in rough seas it was a time to remember.
USS Oregon City -- CA122 (Heavy Cruiser - Atlantic '46-'47)
I was doing OK until I read, "I like sailors..."
But as a USAF officer with a few years in a Navy squadron, I THINK I know what is meant.
I once knew a lieutenant who talked like this. This LT went through the enlisted ranks to become a Master Chief, then became a Chief Warrant Officer and finally a LT. He *hated* being in port. I had to do my submarine qualification walkthrough with him and it was thorough! I had the fewest mistakes on a walkthrough that he had ever seen but that still meant that I had over 30 lookups!
He also had a saying "A man is never really free unless he is underway." Let's just say that most of the crew DID NOT agree with this sentiment.
Being a Tin Can sailor puts a little extra kick in one's step.
Thanks for the memories. It brought a smile to this Navy vet's face.
And how!
I actually served on the McCard in the spring of 1969 as part of the spook detachment. We were tailing the "Moskva", the first Russian aircraft carrier. Tailed her all over the eastern Med for about 2 months.
And when the propellers of a carrier cavitate the water, it'll shake the computers off your desk!
...the piercing trill of the boatswainspipe... ""Sweepers, sweepers! Man your brooms!"
...the syncopated clangor of the ship's bell on the quarterdeck... "FIRE! FIRE FIRE!" FIRE IN THE AFT MESSDECKS!"
...the harsh squawk of the 1MC... "This is a drill! This is a drill!"
I like the surge of adventure in my heart when the word is passed "Now station the special sea and anchor detail..." "The smoking lamp is out throughout the ship!"
...I like the tempo of a Navy band blaring through the topside speakers As we pull away from the oiler after refueling at sea...
Our ship played Metallica.
Thank you for posting this poem. My husband was on the Coral Sea in the early sixties. I'm printing it up write now to give to him when he wakes up. God bless you.
I loved it then and I miss it now,but at my age all I can do about it is tell my 11 grandchildren lots of Sea Stoies,I have to tell the grandkids because everybody else has heard them all....more than once!
outstanding post...it brings back good memories, bad memories and some things we'd rather forget ;)
Nice post. Thanks.

Video Wills, Kate & Harry Want A National Conversation On Mental Health
Men are less likely to talk than women with 54% of women having had a conversation compared to 37% of men.
Sir Richard Branson and Princess Beatrice have spoken to 12,000 children at a Wembley Arena charity event to encourage volunteering and fundraising.
A star-studded agenda at We Day UK included musical entertainment from big names and up-and-coming young talents, with inspiring speeches and videos encouraging the young audience to take action on causes important to them.
Sir Richard said: "Nothing beats the feeling of being back at We Day UK. The energy here is like nothing else I've ever experienced.
"The kids who have come here today have done all sorts of different things, whether it's looking after people on the streets, old people, cleaning people's homes - anything and everything to help people in their local community."
His daughter Holly Branson, co-chair of the event added: "It's so lovely to have it back and celebrate all the wonderful work that these kids have done."
The day-long event, hosted by Laura Whitmore, Yasmin Evans, Rebecca Dudley and Bluey Robinson, was attended by more 12,000 children from over 550 schools across the country.
The young attendees were not able to buy tickets for the exciting show, but instead had to earn their place by committing to undertake at least one local and one global charitable act of their choice.
US actor Martin Sheen was one of the popular figures backing the idea. He said: "I'm delighted to be here. It's about saying 'from me to we'. It's about us, it's about community and that's the only place we make a difference. We can do very little on our own but we can do a lot with each other."
Brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger came up with the initial idea for We Day, which now takes place in fourteen locations across Canada, the United States and the UK.
Craig said: "We Day is a celebration of service but the real work starts when these young people go back to their classrooms and communities, empowered to make a difference."
Today's event is linked to the year-long We Act programme, which offers free educational resources and support materials to help children harness the event's inspiration and turn it in to sustained action.
Since 2007, young people involved in the programme have raised £32 million for more than 1,000 local and global causes.

Cerella Sechrist is the author of nonfiction devotionals, several full-length dramas, and a historical short story. This is her first novel. Cerella makes her home in York, Pennsylvania.
Welcome to Novel Journey, how long did it take you to get published?
Thirteen years. (Unlikely as it sounds, I suppose thirteen is a lucky number for me!) I first realized I wanted to be a writer at the age of ten, when I watched a movie in which the main character was a novelist. At that young age, books were my life. When it finally dawned on me that one day I could tell stories like the ones I'd been reading, it was as if a whole new world of opportunity and possibility was before me.
Of course, having a dream and seeing it come true are two vastly different things. I spent my teens and twenties studying as much of the publishing industry as I could, honing technique and craft and reading a variety of genres to round myself out as a writer. I wrote my first novel at 16 and started submitting to publishers at 17. It took another thirteen years from that time to this to see my debut novel in print.
When I was finally able to tell my family I had received a publishing contract, the first words out of my brother's mouth were, "Congratulations. I know it's been a long time coming."
I cried.
Do you think an author is born or made?
A little bit born but mostly made. I think we're all born with an appreciation of stories – the value and lessons in them, but it takes more than that to make an author. It requires the pursuit of those stories and what makes them special: the craft, the moral elements, the diversity, the human element.
You have to learn to love words – the coupling of them, the power of what one single word can define. A picture is worth a thousand words, but the right word is worth a million bucks. Lacing words together to create a story – that takes a lot of practice. You have to get it wrong before you can get it right.
What is the first book you remember reading?
I attribute a lot of my love of reading to my mom, who read to me nightly when I was a child. She's a theater lover, so she acted out every story: villains literally snarled, wind whistled ominously, the hero's voice would quake or stammer as the story called for. You can't help falling in love with the magic of storytelling when someone reads it to you like that.
The earliest books I remember her reading were Dr. Seuss's Horton Hears a Who, Yertle the Turtle and the Berenstain Bear books. Some of the first chapter books I remember reading on my own were Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder and Island of the Blue Dolphins by Scott O'Dell.
What common qualities do you find in the personalities of published authors?
An overwhelming love of good stories. It's a pleasure to connect with other authors who are so eager to share their favorite reads. It continues to introduce me to stories I might not otherwise have encountered.
How do you know if you have a seemingly "stupid" book premise that is doomed to fail versus one that will fly high?
For me, the most telling thing about a book I want to write is whether I would read it myself. But it can be very, very hard to step away from a premise you love long enough to be objective – it helps to have an honest sounding board of friends who will be completely ruthless in telling you the truth. I'm fortunate that I have a couple of those people in my life who love me enough to tell me, "No, this just won't work" or "Yes, absolutely, go for it!"
At the end of the day, however, the final decision needs to rest with you, as the writer, and your instinct. If you know this is a story you would want someone to tell, then give it a shot. That way, even if it 'fails' in everyone else's eyes – maybe it just needed to be told for you.
What is the theme of your latest book?
Chocolate. LOL! That's the obvious theme – it takes place in Hershey, and it revolves around desserts, so there's certainly a foodie element there.
However, the more important theme is the struggle with wanting to be something more than you are – finding that line where you know yourself and what you're good at so you can stop beating yourself up by trying to be more than who you are.
My main character, Sadie, is a very talented chef when it comes to food, but she lacks one, crucial ability: she cannot create truly tantalizing desserts. She spends quite a lot of time wreaking havoc on herself and her relationships as she tries to attain this one thing she wasn't meant to have. It's how she defines herself – if she can do this, then she'll feel her self-worth is solidified.
Writing her story forced me to work through this issue in my own life – accepting my limitations and recognizing that what I can do doesn't define who I am.
Of course, Sadie experiences quite a few hilarious and heartbreaking adventures in order to realize this lesson.
At what point did you stop juggling suggestions and critiques and trust yourself (as a writer)?
I'm not sure there was ever a conscious decision for me to stop listening to everyone else and just trust my instincts. It sort of evolved into that very early on for me. I value what other people have to say – stories mean different things to different people, and what one person eschews, another might embrace. I always appreciate someone's input – I often tell my proofreaders, "I can't fix what I don't know is broken."
On the other hand, I also make it clear that just because you dislike something in the story, it doesn't mean I will make a change. More than anyone else, the writer is the one who has the 'big picture' in mind. It's a very fine balance of being open to valid suggestion and criticism while trusting yourself, objectively, to make the right decision regardless.
I try very hard to analyze every suggestion and criticism in order to judge whether it has merit, and ultimately, I always do what I feel is best for the story. I value feedback, but I also trust my instincts.
Are takeaway messages (in your book) important to you?
Absolutely, but I never want them to be heavy-handed. We tell stories because stories matter. At the end of the day, our stories are all we leave behind us – our tragedies and triumphs, our lessons and loves. If we cannot learn from them, what's their purpose?
However, stories are meant to entertain as well as teach. A good story interests you FIRST and then teaches you something LATER. Not many people want a sermon, but everyone loves a story.
When do you know you've got the finished product and it's your best effort?
I always know if I've done it right when I walk away from the project for awhile, and then, upon returning, find myself reading it as if it was someone else's writing. With my current novel, Love Finds you in Hershey, I knew I had done the best I could do when I found myself laughing out loud at my own jokes and crying at all the right spots. I'd step away and find myself wanting to go back and read more of my own book.
That resonated with me. I realized that was the very most I could ask of myself – to be entertained by my own story.
Any anecdotes about the research or writing of your books?
Word of advice: One can never have too much chocolate when researching a book set in the sweetest place on earth: Hershey, Pennsylvania. =)
How would you pitch this book to your intended audience?
If you've ever found yourself in a situation where you're babbling incoherently and mentally telling yourself to 'just walk away', you can probably relate to the main character of Sadie. If you've ever beat yourself up because you wanted to be better than you are and would do just about anything to prove something to yourself and everyone else, welcome to the club. And if you like chocolate, even just a little bit, Love Finds You in Hershey will probably hit you right in the sweet spot. =D

I have fond memories of an evening spent in Hershey World. I remember the overwhelming smell of chocolate as we drive up. Great idea for a novel setting.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Rebecca! I LOVE visiting Hershey - it's less than an hour from where I live in southern PA. It truly is a 'sweet' place. :)ReplyDelete

The pacy and direct forward used fantastic league form in 2009 and 2010 to catapult himself into the fold for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, where Findley snatched a regular starting role. Setting career highs for games and minutes played, he served as Jozy Altidore's primary strike partner in South Africa. He had a career-year in 2009 that culminated in an MLS Cup title with Real Salt Lake, and after the 2010 season he has taken his talent overseas where he now continues his professional career with Nottingham Forest.
- Started three of four games at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, missing only the Algeria match due to yellow card accumulation
- Played in a career-high eight games in 2010, starting seven
- His strong production for Real Salt Lake made him a late candidate for the U.S. roster in South Africa
- Debuted for the U.S. Men's National Team in October of 2007 when he came on as a late sub in the USA's 1-0 victory against Switzerland at St. Jakob Park in Basel
- Appeared in all five games in U-23 Olympic qualifying during 2008, starting twice and adding an assist for Peter Nowak's team
- Scored the equalizer in the 2009 MLS Cup and buried his penalty during the shootout to help Real Salt Lake win the title for the first time in franchise history
- Recorded RSL's first-ever hat trick in MLS play in the team's home opener on April 2, 2009, against Columbus

|RE: Scaling Monster Servlet App
|Tue, 03 Oct 2000 13:16:59 GMT
I believe so. Using the jk stuff to link to the web server, you would need to define your multiple servers in the wrokers.properties. Then you can specify in uriworkermap.properties that for a given uri pattern any of those servers will support it. (There is a small amount of documentation to this effect in the setup instructions for jk). I am not familiar with what load balancing algorithm is followed, though. -----Original Message----- From: Jake Paine [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2000 1:05 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Scaling Monster Servlet App I have a servlet based TomCat application with loads so high a single VM cannot handle it. Is it possible to start say, 5 VM's on 10 different physical hosts, all running exactly the same servlet application code and have the web server load balance across all these VM's? Any ideas?

With a 4.2-liter V-8 producing 416 horsepower, the 2009 Lexus IS-F's ability to accelerate has propelled it ahead of other performance models such as BMW's M3 and the Mercedes-Benz C63.
According to Car and Driver, the Lexus IS-F accelerates like "a V-8-powered sledgehammer" and hits 60 mph in 4.2 seconds on its way to 172 hp, though it "inhaled" premium unleaded fuel at a 16-mpg rate. It's "raw and thrilling," Car and Driver says—and Edmunds agrees, calling the "roar of the rev-happy V-8…one of the most lust-worthy we've heard."
An eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters is the only gearbox offered on the 2009 Lexus IS-F, but it's special and lightning-quick. Road & Track likes the "full control over shifting" in Manual mode, but dislikes the "quite abrupt" shifts at lower engine speeds. "Nobody's going to complain" about the lack of a manual transmission, Motor Trend says, thanks to its "ultra-fast shifting."
Lexus uses the Porsche 911 as the high-water mark for handling. The 2009 IS-F is tuned so that it's entirely without "the soft and gentle nature of an IS 350." Road & Track deems its ride "harsher" and calls its body roll "minimal." Edmunds agrees, noting the IS-F "rides taut and firm…all the time." Car and Driver differs somewhat, saying that the ride is tuned to "make allowances for road fissures," while it allows "some restrained roll through the esses." Differences in drivers and road surfaces usually account for these varying opinions, and since Car and Driver and Road & Track are both enthusiast publications, you can guess that a harsh ride is part of everyday life with the 2009 Lexus IS-F. "Consider yourself warned," Edmunds concludes.

I found these molds on the Michaels website. Could they work with fondant or gumpaste? They have ones with faces! That would simplify my life.
I don't see why not.
I have them but never used. I hope some body can help us
I have used them! Dust generously with cornstarch being careful not to plug up a crevice or your finished piece might be missing a nose...
They work best if you pop them in the freezer for a few minutes to harden the fondant or gumpaste so it retains it's shape when you pull it out.
My issue for faces, though, is that you still have to form the back of the head. It's easiest if you can use a toothpick to prop the face up in styrofoam as you add hair and what-not so you don't inadvertently smoosh the face.
Thank You so much I will try them
Thanks for the idea. I'll try those, too!
Yes I do use them also and do use the cornstarch as suggested.
Thanks for the replies. I think my next 40% off coupon will have to go towards these! They look like they could be fun to play around with.

Will he take me back
Ok I was with my boyfriend (now ex) for 4 years we were pretty serious and were to get married. However since we are from diff religious back grounds my family pressurized me to leave him.. I tries to convince them but they didn't agree. He had promised me he will convert to my religion if needed but then he back out. After that I broke off with him officially however we continued to be in touch and I never stopped doing stuff for him like taking care of him etc. I was in depression for last one year and my feelings had all dried up...i told him I didn't have any feelings for him. Early this year I started counseling and realized no matter what I love him and will go against my family and religion to be with him. I went back to him on 15th April and he said he is with a new girl since Jan and they had slept with each other. I was shocked as we were in constant touch and he had hidden this from me. He said he hid it Because I was already depressed, on further probing he said he doesn't love her but they are just having fun. I tried to convince him to leave her and take me back and we can get married.
He says no matter how things are he loves me and needs me but he is with someone else so I shouldn't have any expectations or hopes from him. I am fed up of chasing him for 1.5 months and told him today that he has to choose one and leave the other. If he wants her than I will cut complete contacts with him as I still love him .He said he needs time to think.
I have been with him in thick and thin when he was jobless, in troubles etc. not that I did a favor on him but just FYI. and he shares his problems with me and not with this new girl.
So guys my question is -what are the chances of him choosing me ?

So long, 2016. Although we lost some incredible musicians, celebrities, and public figures last year, it wasn't all doom and gloom. Stranger Things hit Netflix, JK Rowling's movie "Fantastic Beasts" landed in theaters, and donations from the Ice Bucket Challenge which swept the internet led to the discovery of a new ALS gene.
Some pretty great things happened for HWHT as well!
Traffic is up, up, up!
• Visitors to Housewife How-Tos increased by over 1 million, resulting in 3,859,693 page views last year!
• Facebook followers surpassed 14,000 while Pinterest reach is soooo close to 11,000.
• In addition to an all-new, gorgeous layout for my weekly newsletter — the most helpful newsletter on the internet! — subscriptions grew from 2,100 to over 12,000!
My new book is out!
Just in time for the New Year, my book Cleaning on YOUR Schedule came out in paperback and for the Kindle.
I wrote this book specifically for people who have trouble sticking to a cleaning routine. See, the truth is: the only cleaning routine that will work is one created by you, for you, and that's what my book will help you achieve.
With a guided self-assessment, you'll discover the best days for you to clean and the right order of cleaning for your home, then my ALL NEW cleaning checklists will help you get it done better and faster than ever.
You LOVED These Posts!
Meanwhile, all of that traffic, social media follower and newsletter subscription growth led to the following posts becoming the Top 10 from Housewife How-Tos in 2016.
If you're visiting my blog for the first time, this list is a great place to start discovering the best content on my blog. (You'll find more suggestions on my About Me page, too.)
Knowing how to clean fake plants helps reduce the amount of dust and allergens in your home's air while preserving the beauty of these decorative touches.
9. How To Get Ink Stains Out Of Clothes
Unless you're a person who never forgets to put the cap back on the pen, or you actually like the look of a pocket protector, you need to know how to get ink stains out of clothes. For some reason, I never discover ink stains until after clothes have been through the wash. That's okay, though: this helps get old and new stains out.
8. Professional Home Cleaning Hacks
Don't stress when it comes to cleaning your home. Save time and money by working smart, not hard. If you can't quite get your stainless steel to shine or your windows to be streak free, you've come to the right place! These 10 professional home cleaning hacks are easy to do and will save you from the emotional stress that associated with cleaning a home.
7. Crockpot Cornish Hens Recipe
Cornish hens are a bit of an obsession in my home. My teenage son — a/k/a the nonstop eating machine — loves that he gets to have an entire one to himself. I love that this Crockpot Cornish Hens recipe needs only a few ingredients and just minutes of my attention. Get them started in the morning and come home to a delicious dinner — what's not to like about that?
6. Homemade Breakfast Bowls Recipe
Another recipe created to fuel my teenage son, this Homemade Breakfast Bowls recipe makes enough for 12 bowls — and they freeze beautifully. In the morning it's just minutes to pour, heat and eat a hearty, homemade hot breakfast.
5. Daily Cleaning Routine Printable
In 2016, I revised and re-released a number of printable cleaning checklists. This Daily Cleaning Routine was clearly one of your favorites. It's one of my favorites, too! Maybe that's because, after a few days of following it, your home looks continually clean in mere minutes per day — even if you haven't done a thorough cleaning in weeks.
4. Low-Carb Chicken and Spinach Roulade
There's so much to love about this Low-Carb Chicken and Spinach Roulade recipe: it's easy, it takes only a few ingredients, it freezes beautifully, and it's healthy. I double the recipe and freeze the extras for quick and simple microwave meals when I don't feel like cooking. (It happens.)
Carb-lovers just need to add a side of potatoes or rice then everyone's happy.
3. How To Clean Your Own Air Ducts
It costs a small fortune to have your air ducts professionally cleaned, especially if your ducts leak so the hot water propulsion the pros send through them winds up leaking all over your ceilings and walls. This easy method of cleaning your own air ducts will dramatically reduce dust, pet hair, and allergens in your air ducts and home — without posing a risk to your ceilings.
2. Cleaning Checklist For Kids' Bedrooms
Ever notice that you can repeatedly explain to your kids how to do something but they don't hear a word you say, then someone else says the same thing and — boom! — they get it? That's the principle behind the cleaning checklist for kids' rooms. They CAN clean their bedroom on their own using this!
(I do recommend helping them the first time or two. After that, you can hand them the checklist and they'll know what to do and how to do it.)
1. Golden Turmeric Milk Recipe
Long an Ayurvedic tradition, this combination of warm milk and spices — including turmeric — is anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant. Drinking a cup of Golden Turmeric Milk before bedtime helps you fall asleep faster, too!
Happy New Year!
There are many exciting plans already in the works for Housewife How-Tos. I've planned an amazing editorial calendar full of great ways to help you do home better in 2017.
Don't miss out, though. Be sure to sign up for my free weekly newsletter to get all of the latest how-tos!


text: Business & EconomyHotels in Cuba poised for American visitors Cubans and Americans alike keen to get the most out of tourism business with the easing of US government restrictions. Lucia Newman | 21 May 2015 16:11 GMT | Business & Economy, Latin America, Cuba Since the easing of restrictions on businesses operating in Cuba last month, the home-sharing website Airbnb has become the country's site's fastest-growing market. As a California-based company, the popular service had earlier been forced to block access for American and European users alike. Now, Americans can book rooms by attesting that they qualify under one of the 12 categories allowed by the US administration. In the Pinar del Rio town of Vinales, on the country's western tip, almost every other house has been turned into a bed and breakfast. The region is a hotspot for tourists because of its natural beauty and tobacco plantations. "We hear that a lot of Americans want to come to our country, so we are expanding," Daniel Sanchez, a loca resident, told Al Jazeera. Daniel, like many throughout Cuba, now relies on Airbnb to connect them with potential American and European customers. "We want to receive them the best way possible," he said. Cubans like Sanchez, encouraged by the possibility of earning extra income, are hoping that the relaxation of travel restrictions will be more than a short-lived honeymoon. However, since the easing of restrictions on travel to Cuba is the prerogative of the US president, the next US leader may turn out to be not as keen on opening up to Cuba as Barack Obama. This uncertainty about the future has spawned a "do-or-die" attitude towards American tourists. "I can go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower and, in 20 years, everything will be the same, but coming here in 20 years won't be the same," Aaron Levy, an American tourist, told Al Jazeera.Source: Al Jazeera

Jobs in mining decreased by 6,000 in June, bringing the total number of mining job losses to 211,000 since a peak in September 2014. The U.S. Department of Labor's jobs report released Friday shows that despite the country adding 287,000 jobs in June, the oil and gas industry continues to suffer.
Seasonally adjusted figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show 2,200 jobs were lost in oil and gas extraction, categorized under mining. Jobs in support activities for mining declined by 3,500.
Though globally, more than 350,000 jobs in oil and gas have been lost since the onset of the downturn, many believe the worst of it is over. Cuts in capital expenditures (CAPEX) have begun to level out and oil and gas companies are starting to have a more optimistic outlook on the industry. Still, industry experts anticipate there will be more months of layoffs before the market balances out.
