The Irish Water Spaniel was originally developed in Ireland in the 18th century to be a skilled water retriever however nowadays he is also a loving family companion. The average height of a Irish Water Spaniel is 1 foot, 9 inches to 2 feet weighing about 45 to 65 pounds. They have a lifespan of 10 to 12 years.
Originally bred to be a companion hunting dog and a water retriever the Irish Water Spaniel is very talented and skilled in everything he does. He makes a great family dog and it is always in a good mood ready to please his owner and his family. The Irish Water Spaniel loves all the energy demanding activities like fly-ball, Frisbee, running, swimming and many others. If he is left alone more than a few hours a day he can become bored and might become very loud and destructive. The Irish Water Spaniel is a great watchdog because he is very reserved with strangers and will always let you know when a stranger is approaching your property. He is known to be a great dog for kids but very small children should always be well supervised when they encounter any type of dog breed because they might have the tendency to tease and no dog will accept that. Obedience training and early socialization are very important in this case and can make a big difference. Overall this dog breed is just perfect if you want a talented retriever and an intelligent hunting companion in the same time or you just want a devoted family pet.
Irish Water Spaniel Training:
Irish Water Spaniel is a very intelligent dog breed. They can learn new commands very quickly which makes them quite easy to train. Usually they enjoy any type of activity so training will not be a problem for them. In fact it can be something that they will really enjoy.
Irish Water Spaniel Shedding:
Shedding should not concern you at all if you plan to buy this type of dog breed. In fact you will never find a hair in your house because the Irish Water Spaniel is not a type of dog breed that sheds hair.
Irish Water Spaniel Grooming:
The Irish Water Spaniel, like many other dog breeds, need daily exercise. Don't worry, those needs can be met quite easy with simple walks or playing some fun games. His coat needs to be shaped two or three months and proper brushing should be done every now and then.
Irish Water Spaniel History:
The Irish Water Spaniel was originally developed in Ireland in the year 1830 to be a hunting companion and a skilled water retriever. In the beginning there were two types of water spaniels in Ireland however in the 19th century this breed was well established.

Looking to buy a European car? Our certified mechanics will check it for you and let you know if it's a good purchase or if you should be aware of something under the hood
Before your purchase that used vehicle, it is highly advisable to obtain an inspection. It is often the most overlooked step in the sales process and it is most beneficial for a purchase from a private party. A Pre-purchase inspection may reveal problems with the vehicle's body, engine and frame that are not immediately apparent.
Family Auto Care offers prospective buyers a 100 point inspection on pre-owned European vehicles in the Las Vegas area. We've performed thousands of pre-purchase inspections for our customers and we not only provide the buyer with a report of any existing conditions, but a sense of what expenses they may anticipate in the near future. Our pre-purchase car report also gives the buyer a bargaining tool in negotiating a final price for purchase.
Putting a car on a pre purchase check at family auto care will reveals if there are any fluid leaks from the engine, trani or cooling system. It also gives easy access to suspension system under the car and the tires condition.
A lot of people pass on a mechanic check before they purchase a vehicle, although it is usually less than $75 and you will unveil the mystery under the hood, most of the buyers will buy a $10,000 car without knowing the real condition ahead of time. before we go any further, family auto care team will check your second car for free! that is a promise.
so now, let's see what you need to check before you buy your next european car:
1. Ignition - start the car and make sure it's cold - a lot of older cars hold some secrets when the engine is cold, it will pass later when the car working temperature will rise but you will be pissed by then...
2. Engine - once the engine reached working temperature pop the hood and listen to the engine, obviously we don't expect from you to diagnose a problem but if the engine sounds rough you can probably notice, try to listen to the working sound, does the engine goes on and off? low turns and than high? shaky? those symptoms can give you a heads up and we will recommend to bring the car over for a full inspection.
3. Transmission - the second most expensive system in the car is crural in a used car. how to check a transmission? the base check can go from just accelerating from a complete stop, if the car pulls you back a bit before the gear is changing, that is a small sign, try shifting manually, even if the car has automatic transmission, move from 1,2,3,4,drive,neutral and reverse. if one of them felt like a bad kick, you got yourself another sign, but again, not feeling so sure? call us 702-878-8199
4. Air Condition - The toughest job every mechanic is trying to avoid and every customer tries to ignore, especially in las vegas where the weather goes to extreme in between seasons a lot of a/c system fails after a while, usually it's not the whole system but a blend door or one hose, but before you buy a car one of the important things is to switch all modes in the a/c system, from cold to hot, circulate, defrost etc. family auto care is a certified shop to handle a/c system in cars and suv's.
5. Tires Condition - as we believe, safety comes first, a lot of people don't know the simple fact that a tire life shelf is up to 4 years from the day he manufactured, a tire look is not important at all, and every tire has his manufacture date stamped on him for you to know. tires are not a cheap product and and can easily clime to over $600 for a set, that is why you should know before you buy a used car if you need to replace them and add it to your expense list.
6. Brakes - You don't need to be a great mechanic to do a simple brake check, but you do need a mechanic to tell you how long you still have with this set. it's a common fix to resurface the rotors and replace pads but by doing that you shorten the brakes life and might be less safe than a new brake rotors.
7. Emergency Brake - Yes, we know, you never used it, but you never know when you going to need it... give it a long push or raise the hand brake to see that the system is working and stoping the car, we saw quite a few cars that people took the whole system out for different reasons, but none of the concern your safety. not sure if there is an emergency brake system? give us a call, we will check it for you.
8. Dashboard and Interior - The interior part is mostly for you and you will rather have a nice clean interior, but note that the interior can tell a lot about the previous owner, how he treated the car and how much he put in it. cracks and noises from the interior or burned seats will tell you a lot! one of the most important things are the Dashboard Light, there are tons of tricks in the used car business and one of them is to replace the mileage on the odometer, it is illegal but unfortunately exist, if you see a 2002 Audi A6 with 43,000 Miles on it, turn on you red flag mode, something is fishy, there are some out there, but they are very very rare, there are a few ways to check that using tools like "CARFAX" or "AutoCheck" to check the car history, the few bucks that it's gonna cost you will save you a lot of hassle in the future.
9. The Check Engine Light - Rated No. 1 as the most hated light in the car business :-). if the check engine light is on, don't even think of buying the car without a full diagnostic. if the check engine light is off, it's even worse, you must come in for a full inspection. the cons of the industry will make the light disappear for a few days, after driving your car for a week the light is on and you find out that the catalytic converter is clogged, even a Smog Certificate can be an illusion sometimes, a lot of issues can still make the car pass smog before the light is on, that is why we recommend to bring the car over, everything we mentioned above should give you the idea of how many things can go wrong and we can help you get the right decision and find the perfect car for you.
Pre-Owned Car Checklist
Our inspection of used European includes full analysis of the vehicle. Our team takes a deep look into the exterior, interior, frame, transmission, and steering as well as:
Evaluation includes inspection of:

Urwin discusses consolidation of super industry
Roger Urwin, the global head of investment content for Watson Wyatt, joins Lateline Business on his Australia visit to discuss what sees as the inevitable consolidation of Australia's super industry.
Source: Lateline Business | Duration: 7min 6sec
ALI MOORE, PRESENTER: Consolidation of Australia's super industry is seen by many as inevitable, including the global investment consulting firm Watson Wyatt. The global head of investment content for Watson Wyatt is Roger Urwin. He's currently visiting Australia and joined me earlier.
Roger Urwin, welcome to Lateline Business.
ROGER URWIN, WATSON WYATT: Thank you, Ali.
ALI MOORE: You have a picture of how superannuation systems work around the world. Why is it that we don't see more Australian funds make takeover bids or big plays like the Canadian funds? Is it just a question of scale, because our funds are relatively small, even though our total pool of funds is actually quite big?
ROGER URWIN: Yeah, Australian super funds are growing pretty rapidly, but they're still not globally that substantial relative to these two very big funds in Canada. And so it will take maybe a few years before funds would grow into the situation of being able to absorb this type of investment.
ALI MOORE: How big an issue is size when you look around the world? Because certainly Jeremy Cooper, who's reviewing the industry in Australia, has made a couple of points about size of funds: not just that the bigger the fund, the bigger the acquisition capability, but also that the bigger the fund, the more able it is to hire its own people and not outsource investment management. Are they two critical points?
ROGER URWIN: I think that's exactly right - that both of those points have a bearing on this; that being able to have more in-house resources has become attractive. Basically, the food chain as described by Jeremy Cooper is kind of the wrong way round - so much is outsourced, not much is in house. And so for these larger organisations to develop in-house capability is really, really important. And then in particular, in relation to private markets, it's not so obvious when you deal with public equities, but in private markets it's really helpful to be a sizeable player.
ALI MOORE: So while you say it's going to take a couple of years for Australian individual funds to get to the size of the Canadian funds. Why is that? Why is it that we have one of the biggest pools of funds in the world, but such relatively small individual funds?
ROGER URWIN: Australian funds are like those in other countries. There are too many that are too small, and there's no question that there is a more efficient industry out there where there's more consolidation. It hasn't yet happened. The forces of competition perhaps haven't been strong enough to engineer that sort of change. I think it will happen over a period of time, but at the moment it's happening rather slowly.
ALI MOORE: How do you push that change? Is it up to the Government to mandate consolidation? And how do you push the process forward?
ROGER URWIN: Well it's kind of interesting: the governments around the world don't seem to be mandating, they don't seem to be insisting on certain standards of governance. I'm a little surprised at that. I would have expected governments to be forcing a bit more change in a sector that's so crucial to national economies.
ALI MOORE: Well indeed in this country, what do you make of Jeremy Cooper's assessment that it looks like it's the funds management tail wagging the superannuation dog, even though it's the superannuation industry that holds the chequebook?
ROGER URWIN: I'm pretty sympathetic with that type of message and the way he's describing the situation. It is rather the wrong way round at the moment. And over a period of time I would have expected there to be a rather stronger platform by which superannuation funds are able to influence their affairs, manage their investment managers more tightly, work on lower fees, because the fee structures in the industry are often too high for the net value propositions that managers deliver on.
ALI MOORE: So how do you get real change? If governments have not proven themselves keen to mandate, do you think that out of this Cooper review we will really see significant change?
ROGER URWIN: I think that the idea that governments get more involved is starting to be more likely, and I think this is paralleled in other national pension systems. Again, the importance of pensions, the challenges of pensions, given the demography that's taking place, all of these factors are making governments a little bit more conscious that free market considerations are not necessarily delivering the sort of fit-for-purpose type superannuation system that we would like to have. So, I'm not so sure that there isn't some government response to - in the pipeline here in terms of change.
ALI MOORE: If we can turn to the investment environment, you've spoken recently about the new reality. What does that new reality look like, especially given that in many ways it really seems like it's a return to business as normal, albeit with a degree of caution?
ROGER URWIN: Well I think when you come through a financial crisis, the first reactions start to be, "Well, you know, are things so different really? We've got back to some sort of normality." But the new reality is basically saying there's kind of three things that are very different. First of all, there are still faultlines. We've maybe corrected the symptoms more than really some of the underlying causes of this difficulty. So I think we are systematically exposed to a number more crises. I think that's a rather grim possibility, but I think it's out there. I think the second point is that the developed countries and UK, US in particular have paid a heavy price for getting out of this mess. You know, they have big legacy deficits that they're going to have to deal with over a period of years. That engrains a certain sort of expected growth rate in their economies that are going to be subpar. There's no question that's a factor in world investment opportunities that we'll live with for a while longer. The third is kind of an interesting aspect about how superannuation funds and other asset owners across the world have to think about the conscience of their investment and have to think about their ownership interests. And from that point of view, I think corporate governance, being a better stakeholder rather than a better trader of different corporations across the world - that's becoming a very interesting sort of new and resonant theme, and indeed, the obligation for owners to think more about the environmental aspects and the social aspects of their investment.
ALI MOORE: But is that anything really new? We've been hearing about corporate social responsibility for years. Has anything really changed?
ROGER URWIN: I think it's been very difficult for people to spend time on this. They've been preoccupied. And I think that there's obviously more going on on environment - there's Copenhagen and other issues. And as a result, governments are more interested again about how they can influence an agenda here. And asset owners are probably going to have to be more responsible for shouldering something about this influence over our environment and I think that potentially is a bit of a tipping point in that respect.
ALI MOORE: Roger Urwin, many thanks for your insights.
ROGER URWIN: Thank you, Ali.

General Health & Wellness Philosophy
The lifestyle choices you make are inevitably tied to your health status and performance. Youngevity's Healthy LifeStyle™ Philosophy is a comprehensive, yet easy-to-follow, strategy to help you achieve your nutritional and health goals safely, while delivering key nutrients your body needs for optimal wellness and continued success.
Three Simple Principles
Three Simple Principles
Our approach to building a healthy lifestyle is based on three simple principles:
I. Eat strategically
II. Consume only the best nutrition (Healthy Body Paks)
III. Focus on energy and recovery
With the help of renowned medical, dietary, and fitness experts, Youngevity has developed 7 Healthy Body Paks delivering science-based, targeted nutritional support.
Proper nutrition isn't just about eating the right foods, it's also about making sure you're eating them properly and enough so that you're getting the right calories that will give your body the vitality and strength it needs
Strategic Nutrition
strat•e•gy (strat'i-jee). n. A systematic plan of action to achieve a well-defined goal.
A healthy lifestyle doesn't just happen per chance; you must create a detailed plan that fits. This makes taking specific action easier. The better the plan, the easier it is to follow, and the likelier you are to reach your goals.
Broad brushed suggestions ("cut calories, exercise more") can help, but if you're like most people, you lead a busy lifestyle. You want specifics. You just want to know what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.
This is what we kept in mind when we designed Youngevity Healthy LifeStyles. Our nutrition program features precise, yet easy-to-follow instructions to help you reach your goals. For example, rather than tell you to "just eat healthier," we suggest specific foods and nutrients that will deliver targeted benefits when your body needs them the most.
The Best Sources
Oranges are good for you because they contain vitamin C, right? But did you know they also have over 170 different phytonutrients (plant nutrients), 60 flavonoids (powerful antioxidants), fibers, pectins, sugars (and the list goes on)?
That's the wonderful thing about food. It contains entire arrays of nutrients that sustain the human body and keep it functioning at optimal levels. However, all foods are not created equally. Some foods have more of a certain nutrient than others, while some contain just empty calories.
Getting the most out of nutrition isn't just about consuming healthy foods. It's also about determining which foods are the best sources of key nutrients and combining them with others to deliver complete and balanced nutrition. We all know there is no one perfect food. But there's a (close to) perfect combination of nutrients that can provide powerful benefits.
Figuring out which food/nutrient combinations and quantities work best isn't easy. Fortunately, with the Youngevity Healthy LifeStyle™, the work is done for you!
Energy and Recovery
What does it feel like to be healthy?
Your individual answer, of course, depends on your age, ambitions, health status, and life experiences. But collectively, nearly everyone agrees that "having energy" is essential to good health.
Great health starts with having the energy you need to accomplish your goals and to live life to the fullest. But you can't have that energy unless you properly recover each day.
Did you know that your body is in constant state of building up and breaking down? From the time you wake up until the time you fall asleep, you are breaking down your body as you're subjected to physical, psychological, and environmental stresses. In fact, the purpose of sleep is to place your body in full recovery mode.
Nutrition is vital to this ongoing cycle of energy and recovery. Not only does nutrition provide your body what it needs to minimize the trauma during break down, but provides the elements your body needs to heal and recover. Youngevity Healthy LifeStyle™ focuses on delivering targeted nutrition, so you can maximize your body's own energy production and healing and recovery.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment
Nutritional Advisory Board
Youngevity is committed to providing you with high quality, science-based nutrition. Our Nutritional Advisory Board is compromised of leading experts in medicine, nutrition, and human performance. Our Board Members are actively engaged in the continued research and development of the Youngevity dietary supplements and the Youngevity Healthy LifeStyle™ Nutritional Programs, Tools, and Educational Materials.
Our Philosophy
Youngevity Healthy LifeStyle™ follows a simple set of principles that Dr. Wallach has developed through over 50 years of research and understanding how the body functions. Healthy nutrition is not about being exact with your calories or foods, but it is important to understand the basic nutritional principles that will keep you from eating harmful things.
A Healthy Lifestyle always starts with Dr. Wallach's 10 Good and Bad Foods.
"It's not what you eat that is most important, it's what you're absorbed that is critical." – Dr. Joel Wallach
There are certain foods that are the most nutrient dense and there are foods that actually block the ability for you to absorb the valuable nutrients inside food. Dr. Wallach 10 Good/Bad Food list provides the exact foods, ways of cooking and consuming food, and reversal of some of the most notorious nutrition myths. For a Healthy Lifestyle it's critical to adhere to these principles and you'll get the most out of your nutrition, your dietary supplements, and YOU!
Good Foods
Good Food
- Eggs – Eggs should be the staple of your diet. They are considered by many as a super food. Not only do they contain vital cholesterol that your brain, nerves, and hormones need to function but they also contain a whole slew of proteins, EFA's, vitamins and minerals that help your body function. Dr. Wallach recommends 8-12 eggs a day (for Alzheimer's and other dementia's it is recommended you eat 10+ eggs a day to feed your brain the cholesterol it needs to function). Do not over cook eggs, soft scramble them in butter and salt, soft boil them, poach them, or eat them raw in a smoothie. Note that there is a chance to get salmonella from the outside shell of the egg that was exposed to the cloaca of the chicken. Dr. Glidden recommends that if you are going to eat raw eggs to put a teaspoon of bleach into a quart of water and put the eggs into the solution, then dry them off and they are ready to use. The bleach will kill off any micro organisms on the outside of the shell. If you hard boil an egg and the yolk has a greenish coating, this means that the cholesterol has been degraded, so it is best to soft boil eggs. If you are allergic to chicken eggs then you can try goose, duck, or quail eggs.
- Butter
- Iodized Salt – Your body needs salt to create stomach acid. If you are on a salt restricted diet you will not be able to create stomach acid causing acid reflux/heart burn. So use as much salt as you want and salt your food to taste.
- Dairy – Full fat whole milk only. No skim, 1, or 2 percent milk.
- Fish
- Chicken
- Pork
- Lamb
- Beef – Rare or medium-rare only. Make sure there are no grill or char marks on your meat. Use a pressure cooker or crockpot.
- Vegetables – Do not stir fry your vegetables(see fried foods below). Organically grown produce is not nutritionally better than conventionally grown. If you look at the requirements for produce to be labeled by the USDA as organic, you will be surprised to find that the produce must be grown from soil that has not had prohibited substances applied to it for only 3 years. So a field could have been sprayed with prohibited substances for 50 years but if they stop spraying it for three years with prohibited substances then it can be certified organic. Back in 1936 it was brought to our governments attention that our soils where horribly depleted through US Senate Document #264. So no matter what you eat, organic or conventional, it is impossible to get all the nutrients your body needs every day from the food you eat.
- Fruit
- Nuts – Salted or mixed nuts are okay. Because most peanuts are contaminated with fungus it is recommended you don't eat them. Do not eat nuts that have been processed on the same machines as wheat.
- Nut Butters – Nut butters are fine to eat as long as they have no extra sugar or oils. Your can make your own oil and sugar free with a powerful blender.
- Rice
- Millet
- Pure Buckwheat – It isn't wheat.
- Beans
- Couscous – Made from pearl millet only.
- Quinoa
- Corn – Corn is one of the foods we suggest buying organic because most conventional corn is genetically modified which can hurt your digestive tract.
- Coffee
- Tea & Green Tea
- Red Wine
- Filtered Water – Four to eight 8 oz. glasses of water daily.Avoid soft plastic bottles and BPA. Avoid drinking tap water since most cities floridate their water. Fluoride has been proven to reduce your IQ, motivation, and creativity. Recently even Harvard University has released a study linking fluoride to "significantly lower" IQ scores. Do not drink any alkaline waters just before or while eating since it neutralizes your stomach acid like carbonated drinks which prevents digestion and absorption of nutrients.
- Lard
- Hyperthyroidism – If you suffer from hyperthyroidism (over active thyroid) you need to eat cruciferous vegetables because they will suppress and reduce thyroid function.Some more common examples of cruciferous vegetables are: horseradish, kale, collard greens, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, mustard seed, arugula, watercress, radish, and wasabi.
Bad Foods
Bad Food
- Wheat
- Barley
- Rye
- Oats/Oatmeal – The grains we eat today have been altered to withstand weather, insects, and weed killers resulting in a gluten protein that our stomachs just cannot break down. When the gluten travels through our intestinal track undigested, it destroys the Villi and micro Villi that is meant to absorb the nutrients from our foods. This leads to digestive, chronic health problems, and diseases. This includes some alcoholic beverages. Dr. Wallach says to avoid these grains even if it states on the package that they are gluten free.
- Fried Food – When you fry foods or overheat them it produces acrylamidesand free radicals. These carcinogens can lead to inflammation in your digestive track and arteries, oxidation damage to your nerves and soft tissues, and cause certain cancers. This includes stir fry.
- Oils – Cooking oils, olive oil, even coconut oil oxidizes when oxygen comes in contact with it. When you eat oxidized oil it causes inflammation, oxidation damage, and destroys tissues in your body. This includes mayonnaise, salad dressings, fish packed in oils, and any food in oil. In nature there is no cooking oil tree, and no spigot at the base an olive tree to get oil from. So our bodies where just not designed to eat mass quantities of oils like we do today.
- Well Done Meat (Rare or Medium Rare is ok) – Carcinogenic heterocyclic amines are created by high temperature cooking of meat. Make sure when cooking on a barbecue that you do not let the flames touch the meat, or let the juices from the meat hit the charcoal and coat it with burnt smoke. Dr. Wallach says that "Heterocyclic amines are the most egregious cancer causing substances on earth."
- Deli Meats/Cold Cuts – Most deli meats, hot dogs, and bacon have nitrates and nitrites in them as preservatives. Nitrites and nitrates cause inflammation, tissue destruction, oxidation, and free radical damage. If you can get nitrate/nitrite free deli meats, then you are okay to consume them.
- Carbonated Beverages – Carbonated beverages neutralize your stomach acid and reduce your ability to digest and absorb the nutrients from your food and supplements. Phosphoric acid is especially bad for you, and will rob calcium from your bones.
- Potato/Yam/Sweet Potato Skins – The skin is okay to eat only after you boil it.
- Phytates – Phytic acid is most commonly found in beans, seeds, and some nuts. It will bind to minerals in your foods or supplements causing them not to be absorbed by your body. To avoid this make sure you take your minerals two to three hours before or after you consume a meal with Phytates.Some examples of phytates are: linseeds, sesame seeds, almonds, brazilnuts, coconuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, walnuts, corn, brown rice, polished rice, pinto beans, chickpeas, hummus, lentils, soybeans, tofu, and spinach.
- Hypothyroidism – If you suffer from hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) you need to avoid eating cruciferous vegetables because they will suppress and reduce thyroid function.Some more common examples of cruciferous vegetables are: horseradish, kale, collard greens, cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, mustard seed, arugula, watercress, radish, and wasabi.
Additional Bad Food List For Diabetics
Make sure to keep measuring your blood sugar levels just like you did before starting 90 for life. Then when your sugar levels begin to drop, go back to your doctor and have them reduce your medications appropriately until you are prescription and drug free.
On top of eliminating the 10 Bad Foods above, it is advised to eliminate the following foods from your diet as well until you get your blood sugar levels normalized for a month without the help of prescription drugs.
- Fruit
- Fruit Juice
- Dried Fruit
- Honey
- Agave Syrup
- Maple Syrup
- Molasses
- Alcohol
- Gluten Free Grains
- Corn

nickname. The universal beverage in the Middle Ages was weak ale, perhaps the name was given to a teetotaler; or perhaps to a pauper unable to afford beer. Perhaps the name was given in irony to an innkeeper or a noted tippler. Some have even suggested that the name was given to diabetics who had voracious thirsts.
Drinkwater Early Origins
Cheshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Drinkwater Spelling Variations
Drinkwater Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Drinkwater include Drinkwater, Drinkwatter and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Drinkwater or a variant listed above:
Drinkwater Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Drinkwater Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Drinkwater Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Drinkwater Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Drinkwater Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Labore omnia florent
Motto Translation: All things flourish with industry.

The reclusive Harriet Wolf, revered author and family matriarch, has a final confession - a love story. Years after her death, as her family comes together one last time, the mystery of Harriet's life hangs in the balance. Does the truth lie in the rumored final book of the series that made Harriet a world-famous writer, or will her final confession be lost forever?
Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders tells the moving story of the unforgettable Wolf women in four distinct voices: the mysterious Harriet, who, until now, has never revealed the secrets of her past; her fiery, overprotective daughter, Eleanor; and her two grown granddaughters - Tilton, the fragile yet exuberant younger sister who's become a housebound hermit, and Ruth, the older sister who ran away at 16 and never looked back. When Eleanor is hospitalized, Ruth decides it's time to do right by a pact she made with Tilton long ago: to return home and save her sister. Meanwhile Harriet whispers her true-life story to the listener. It's a story that spans the entire 20th century and is filled with mobsters, outcasts, a lonesome lion, and a home for wayward women. It's also a tribute to her lifelong love of the boy she met at the Maryland School for Feeble-Minded Children.
Harriet Wolf's Seventh Book of Wonders, Julianna Baggott's most sweeping and mesmerizing novel yet, offers a profound meditation on motherhood and sisterhood as well as on the central importance of stories. It is a novel that affords its characters that rare chance we all long for - the chance to reimagine the stories of our lives while there's still time.

"A mesmerizing tale of star-crossed love and of the dark secrets in a fracturing family.... This novel is so full of wonders that it leaves you haunted, amazed, and, like every great read, irrevocably changed." (Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Pictures of You)
"Susan Silo is outstanding as she rasps and whispers her droll asides, skewering characters with choice observations. Part romance, part mystery, this completely engaging and wondrous tale is an audiobook listeners will want to hear again ASAP." (AudioFile)
"Truely wonderful story"
what a great story from start to finish. the type of story that makes it impossible to stop listening.
"Might be good, but couldn't stand the narrators!"
Only made it to the second chapter. I'm interested in the story, but can't get past the horrible narrators. Returning for something else...
"Loved it!"
From the voices, to the storyline, I couldn't wait to finish it. Sad it's over!
"Perfect from beginning to end!"
I loved this book! Harriet, Eleanor, Ruth, and Tilton each tell their own story, all the while intensifying the curiosity the reader has for Harriet and her story. The novel manages to stay realistic fiction, while having the magical quality of a fairy tale. There are good guys and bad guys, complex and thorny mother/daughter relationships, a romance of the epic love story type, as well as a couple of mundane marriages, and even a lion! It all works, and the ending (something which has been such a letdown in so many books I've been reading lately) was perfect.
I was intrigued by the mother-daughter-sister-grandmother theme, and hoped for a good read, but the book was flat and sluggish, the characters mostly unrelatable, the plot tricked out with awful gimmicks like a motorcycle-riding lion. That Harriet could have written 6 highly-acclaimed novels that were the subject of scholarly attention before becoming a recluse lacked all credibility, and despite good parts in the beginning (at the Home and the asylum), I found that the book lacked texture or movement -- perhaps because all the characters except Tilton were mired in past grievances.
As for the narration, whoever voiced Harriet had an annoying wheedly voice, and was completely out of her depth when required to speak in a man's voice. Terrible. I wanted to rip the headphones off. The others were fine.
"Interesting Story"
I liked the use of the different narrators to tell the story. I would have loved to read this book, the narrators detracted from the story.
I found almost all the narrators voices annoying. It seemed to be more a dramatization than a narration at points.
"Nice story"
Nice story that rolls back on itself, spanning generations of lovers, fathers, mothers, and sisters. I loved it.

Explaining Roulette for iPad
So, with that said, why is this one of the great iPad casino games? The roulette iPad game is a European roulette game. This means that the wheel has pockets from 0 to 36. The way that you play is to place a bet that the ball will fall on a certain number or on one of a collection of numbers, and you'll then win. At Allslotcasino, the bet types of bountiful and the opportunities to try to win make it very exciting. Certainly, you don't have to have much roulette strategy to enjoy playing; you may, however, want to become more familiar with the various bet types that you could place.
Bet Types at the All Slots iPad Casino
The bet types at the All Slots iPad Casino include many choices. There are straight up bets where you bet on a single number;
- There are split bets where you'll place a bet on two numbers that are adjacent;
- With a street bet you'll be betting on three numbers in a row;
- A square bet offers you a block of four numbers while a line bet includes six numbers that are in two adjacent rows.
- With a column bet, you'll be betting on one of the three vertical columns and with a dozen bet you're betting on twelve numbers that are either high, middle or low.
Finally, for the even-money bet you'll be placing a bet on 18 numbers. Certainly, the less numbers that you bet on and the higher your risk is, the higher the payout will be if you guess correctly.
Roulette Strategy
Many people when they begin to play roulette or other games want to know if there is strategy involved. While you should know the types of bets and consider how much you want to wager, there isn't too much other roulette strategy.

Unanswered: Query using Date field not working
I'm attempting to run an update on a table, and to do so I need to grab a date from my form control (AdmitDate - formatted as short date) and compare it to an existing AdmitDate in my access database (also set to "Short Date")
So Where clause looks like:
"Where AdmitDate =" & Me.AdmitDate & "" which generates the SQL just fine as Where AdmitDate = 4/5/2010
However, I am updating 0 rows no matter what. I can't figure out for the life of me what is going wrong here. Both the text control is shortdate format and the database field is shortdate format. In fact, the AdmitDate text control is what is entered into the database upon record insertion. So the damn date exists and I can see it plain as day in the raw table data. My query just won't pick it up??
Help please! Any ideas are appreciated!

The Soft Autumn
The Soft Autumns need to wear only the most muted of the Autumn palette colors, since the colors of the Deep Autumn palette are way too overpowering and the warm rich colors of the Warm Autumn palette are too warm. Their coloring is quite neutral and they can wear soft colors from both the warm and cool colors but favor the warmer colors more. Avoid bright colors which will look garish or clown like. Their coloring can often look a bit "mousy" and boring unless they where their correct colors.
Power Colors: Khaki, Buttermilk, Light Grey, Light Peach, Light Moss, Salmon, light lemon yellow

Plan a theme, order a cake, send out the invites, decorate the house or book a venue… there's a lot of work that goes into a kid's birthday party! On top of all this, we Canadians have the tradition of gifting attendees with a loot bag. Coming up with an affordable, fun and unique loot bag year after year is a challenge, and often sees Mom running around at the last minute, spending way too much time and money.
Enter Claire & Sharon, two Fraser Valley Mompreneurs who have been running Love Those Loot Bags since 2001! This great local company provides unique, themed, adorable loot bags for any party theme you can think of! Not just for birthday parties either – loot bags can be provided to children at weddings (keep 'em busy and quiet), to kids of all ages at themed events and corporate functions. They even carry a selection of Halloween-themed loot bags!
Claire & Sharon are a wonderful example of enterprising Moms. Their two daughters are friends, and while the girls were in school Claire & Sharon would go for coffee quite often. They decided they'd like to start a business that would allow the flexibility to be home when their kids were home and that would be a lot of fun. Initially the idea was to create birthday party packages, and the loot bag service was born from that.
This fabulous idea has blossomed into other markets as well. As clients requested different gifting options over the years,Love Those Loot Bags grasped these great opportunities, and also offers wedding favours, gift baskets and custom corporate gifts. They ship throughout the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, Canada, the USA and worldwide! Love Those Loot Bags carries a large selection of loot bag 'ingredients' in stock, though pre-ordering is the best way to ensure you can get exactly what you like. Corporate gifts and wedding favours must be pre-ordered.
Whatever your theme or budget, Love Those Loot Bags will help you provide the most fabulous loot bags for your event. Fire Chief, Preschool Picasso, Little Princess, Super Soccer Fan, Catching Butterflies and I Dig Dinos are a few of the great kid-themed loot bags available from Love Those Loot Bags. They also offer the flexibility for parents/kids to build their own custom loot bags – awesome!
Well done, Claire & Sharon. This is a fantastic idea and we're thrilled to see your local company growing strong!

Liberty GB recently received the following email from ex-serviceman Paul Lawrenson.
To whom it may concern.
I would just like to express my utmost thanks for your stance on the defence of our nation. It feels like there is someone still left in our land who is not afraid to hoist the flag and let it show its colours for all to see.
As a child I grew up in a small town called Leyland in Lancashire. Our town was predominantly English with some minorities running newsagents and other shops. I lived with my grandparents for most of my childhood and was brought up on good values of tolerance, independence and above all, patriotism – something that today is deemed to be 'racist'.
My grandfather was a veteran of World War Two and saw service in the Royal Air Force. He was part of the Berlin Airlift and often spoke of the people that left this country to defend it and the people who made it great.
When I was 16 years old I left Leyland to join Her Majesty's Armed Forces and to do my part in serving my nation. I wore the green uniform of the British Army for almost nine years and saw service in Iraq, Bosnia and Africa. Always proud to have the Union Flag upon my shoulder and to be representing my nation oversees.
Since leaving the service in 2005 I've pursued a career in the protective services industry, again back in Iraq and Afghanistan. But one thing that has always been evident in the Middle East, regardless of country, is the destruction of their own nations due to greed, religion and simple lack of humanity.
I'm currently working in Afghanistan where I saw Paul Weston's video on the decay and infection of the British way of life. As a patriotic Briton I am deeply concerned by the events which have tragically unfolded in London of late: the killing of soldiers on home soil, the chanting and protesting with banners of hatred and destruction by 'guests' of our nation.
Last Christmas a dear friend of mine worked in a homeless shelter in Liverpool, as she does every year. This particular year she emailed me and was pretty upset. She said that she was amazed at how many people she had spoken to were former military service members now living on our streets. She had asked why this was the case and was told it was because they didn't meet the criteria for housing or benefits. Question: How many immigrants do you see living on the streets?
Please don't take this as a rant or as a way of venting my frustration, but I feel that we are literally being overrun. I'd like to offer my support and services in any way possible to help keep the country British. I love my country, I'm proud to have served it and would again if asked. But I don't want my children to grow up in a nation which has been lost to people who are only set on destruction and violence.
I hope this email finds you well and may Britannia stay strong!
God Bless
Paul Lawrenson.

A few things. First off, do not use the word "you," generally speaking. We are not a game guide. Rather, say the player or something of the like. Second, the title is HeartGold and SoulSilver, not Heart Gold and Soul Silver. Good use of the template

Singer Carla Bruni has rubbished reports suggesting she briefly romanced U.S. President Donald Trump.
The former model, who is married to ex-French leader Nicolas Sarkozy, was linked to the American leader back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and gossips suggested she was the cause of Trump's second marriage split from Marla Maples.
The property tycoon did little to dismiss the story, and even talked about the fake relationship while posing as his own public relations guru, but Bruni is keen to put the whole saga to bed.
"The whole situation was very vague and just did not exist, so I was very surprised when he went to the press," Carla, whose exes have included Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton, told the Daily Beast.
"It was a lie," she added, revealing she's stunned that her alleged romance with Trump is one of the first things that comes up when Internet users search her name.
"Maybe it's American Google, because if it's French Google, other things come up — mostly my man, my work, my younger pictures," she smiled.
Carla has been married to the former French President since 2008.
Bruni also had a dig at Trump's current wife Melania when she was asked to compare her 2008 nude photo to the U.S. First Lady's from last summer, adding, "It was very different because I had quite a bit of fame from my modelling and my first album … I'm from France and Italy, so to me, making artistic naked pictures wasn't a problem. I was not ashamed at all. And the picture was from when I was 20 years old, before I had children … They were more artistic nudes made by great photographers."

"Halo: Combat Evolved" was the game that helped to introduce the original Xbox console to the masses. Ten years ago, Bungie introduced a revolutionary first-person shooter to continue with its previous successes in PC gaming. "Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary" is a remake of the original and a tribute to the many fans of the "Halo" franchise.
The first notable change from the original to the remake is the upgraded graphics of "Anniversary," which now comes with high-definition graphics, and includes support for 3D televisions. Since the upgraded graphics only add a new layer on top of the old graphics, switching between the old graphics and new graphics is simple, but reveals how different the game looks now compared to when the game was first released. The graphics of the remake are incredible, they make the game seem more realistic and bring new life into a game that is now over a decade old.
The campaign of "Anniversary" is played exactly like the campaign of the original "Halo." The physics and AI are the same, with the same animations, weapons and powerups. For example, elites will still shoot around their feet and howl when they are killed. The level "The Library" is still a long, arduous walk through the multiple levels of a building while fighting waves of the parasitic enemy known as the "flood," all in order to retrieve a key. The voices are the same, although the remastered editions of the game's music add more depth to the game and allow players with better speaker systems to enjoy the clarity the remastered music brings with the option to switch back to the original game music.
Using the "Halo: Reach" engine for multiplayer and firefight gameplay, "Anniversary" brings new renditions to the favorite maps from "Halo" and "Halo 2." The armor abilities and new weapons introduced in "Halo: Reach" are used in the multiplayer matches, with the same modes and look to the screen as the multiplayer section of "Halo: Reach." In the future, gamers that have not purchased "Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary" will have the option to purchase the remade versions of the original maps to be played within "Halo: Reach."
Of course, the hidden secrets that "Halo" fans love, skulls and terminals, make an appearance in "Anniversary." The skulls add or remove abilities in order to change the player's experiences during the game. The terminals show a fascinating backstory to the game, and give a further understanding into the AI "343 Guilty Spark."
In all, "Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary" is a great update to the franchise's origins, allowing newcomers and true Halo fans to enjoy the benefits of modern graphics and features and is a good purchase.

The approval of belatacept, a 2rd generation CD28 pathway costimulation blocker, represents a new class of immunosuppressive agents. The design, translation and clinical evaluation of belatacept was the culmination of efforts by industry and academia to rationally engineer a new therapeutic. The result is an agent that better preserves renal function, reduces donor-specific antibody formation and mitigates cardiovascular side effects. Despite these significant advances, important challenges remain as belatacept treatment is associated with higher rates and grades of rejection. In addition, current immunosuppressive strategies, including belatacept-based regimens, lack the ability to specifically target donor-reactive responses resulting in a generalized state of immune compromise and infectious susceptibility. Our early studies in mice and non-human primates (NHP) identified costimulation blockade resistant rejection (CoBRR) as an important area for investigation and emphasized the potential benefits of developing a successful tolerance strategy. The recent clinical results with belatacept highlight the pressing need to understand the cellular and molecular pathways that contribute to CoBRR and to develop targeted strategies to overcome them, including clinically applicable tolerance regimens. In the first aim of our project we will evaluate novel 3rd generation costimulation blockade therapeutics in collaboration with our partners in industry including domain antibodies designed to safely and specifically block both the CD28 and CD40 pathways. We anticipate that there will still be a CoBRR response and have new data from preliminary murine and NHP studies suggesting a critical role for the IL-17 pathway. We have also identified a successful strategy utilizing an antibody targeting both IL-12 and IL-23 to control this break-through rejection response.
In aim 2 we will further test this novel IL-12/23 therapy in combination with optimized 3rd generation costimulation blockade. We will synthesize observations from the first two aims to define a successful therapeutic regimen that we will then couple to our novel pulsed donor antigen tolerance strategy. Results from these studies will help develop a clinically translatable tolerance strategy, which avoids the morbidity and mortality of chronic continuous immunosuppression. The new knowledge obtained in these studies will be significant and wilt contribute to improved outcomes, enhanced quality of life, and reduced morbidity by avoiding rejection, simplifying regimens, and avoiding infection as a result of long-term immunosuppression.
Transplantation offers the promise of life saving and health restoring therapy for hundreds of thousands of patients suffering from end-stage organ failure. Outstanding short-term outcomes have been achieved through the development of multi-drug life-long continuous immunosuppressive regimens. Despite these achievements, significant challenges remain that compromise the long-term outcomes and limit the application of transplantation. This grant proposes translational studies to address those challenges.

Lawyers in the City Attorney's Office:
"Who the fuck goes to law school to become a civil servant?"
His unlikely quest for a Nevada gaming license:
"That is Don Quixote, you know, with a windmill and a wooden sword. Even with Joe Alioto, you know, you up your chances, so maybe instead of a wooden sword you have an Uzi. But you're still on a horse, and you're still going against a windmill."
Why he drives a Mercedes:
"I was gonna give, like, $100,000 to this charity, right? And I don't get one phone call or one thank-you letter. And then I find out that [the charity] is misspending funds. So I said, 'Fuck it, I'll misspend the money on myself.'"
His net worth:
"I've gone from being worth nothing to, like, $200 million in 10 years. Do the math: That's like twice what Barry Bonds makes."
Higher education:
"The university system is oppressive, it's useless. They don't teach you how to deal with liars and fuckers, and that's 99 percent of business."
Race relations:
"If I was black, I'd probably be beating the shit out of people, too. You've seen what happens when I get oppressed. Can you imagine if I was black and people were looking at me cross-eyed?"
Running for office:
"I've thought about it, but I think my time is better spent building a dynasty."
