Formula dosage will vary depending on the age, body weight, medical condition and protein tolerance of the infant.
- Wash hands thoroughly and clean preparation area. Sterilize bottle feeding system.
- Boil water for 5 minutes and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes so that it feels warm to the wrist. Periflex Infant may be mixed with warm or cool sterile water.
- Add the prescribed amount of Periflex Infant powder and a protein source to the sterilized feeding bottle. For accuracy, Periflex Infant should be weighed on a gram scale. If using the provided scoop, fill it and level off with a clean, dry knife. Do not press the powder into the scoop.
- Pour the required amount of cooled, boiled water into feeding bottle. To make the recommended dilution (21 kcal/oz), Periflex Infant requires 1 fl oz (30 mL) of water for every 5 g (1 unpacked, level scoop) of powder. Place cap on bottle and shake until powder has dissolved.

Formula prepared in advance must be cooled rapidly, stored in the refrigerator (35°F to 40°F) and used within 24 hours of preparation. Shake immediately before use. Formula remaining in the bottle after one hour of feeding should be discarded. Tube feeding "hang time" should not exceed 4 hours.

Washington, Apr 15(ANI): Malaysia could soon be on the international golf circuit with plans to develop a PGA TOUR Tournament Players Clubs (TPC) facility in the country.
PGA TOUR Commissioner Tim Finchem discussed the possibility during a meeting with visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak here on Wednesday.
The discussions centred on ways to work together to explore prospects in Malaysia, and to advance certain golf-related programmes and initiatives.
The development of the TPC facility would feature on-site PGA TOUR Academy, elite player training and grassroots development of golf.
"The academy would help attract high-income tourists to Malaysia, further development of an elite level training for the country's top and emerging golfers as well as to assist in the development of the game," The Star quoted a PGA statement, as saying.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Razak emphasized that his country was rapidly emerging as Asia's leading golf destination, with over 200 golf courses around the country.
"Our intention is to elevate the standard of professional golf and golf itself in Malaysia to new heights working with the leading TOUR in the world," he added.
Razak also highlighted the opportunities that a close working relationship could provide in the development of a long-term and sustainable programme aimed at creating a pool of world-class players in Malaysia. (ANI)

Took my kids to explore the caves in Mammoth Cave area in Kentucky. Had a blast and even went Geode hunting. Could not find any so we bought some unopened ones at a local roadside shop. I would like to know what they are exactly and where do you think they came from. We really love them. Not sure if they are smoky quartz or something else. I'm sure they are not worth anything but we love them just the same. Would love some info just for the sake of knowing what we do have.Thank you,Bill K.

Xie Bingying (Hsieh Ping-ying), (born 1906, Hunan province, China—died Jan. 5, 2000, San Francisco, Calif.), Chinese writer who was highly regarded for her autobiographical works that challenged traditional Chinese feminine identity. In 1926, in order to avoid an arranged marriage, she became a "girl soldier" in the Nationalist Army; her first book, War Diary (1928), recounted her experiences helping Chinese combat troops battle warlords in eastern China. In 1937, after working as a teacher and a freelance journalist for several years, she again served as a soldier, fighting with Chinese troops against invading Japanese forces. Her second book, Girl Rebel: The Autobiography of Hsieh Ping-ying, was published in the U.S. in 1940. After World War II she moved to Taiwan, where she continued to teach and write. She eventually settled in San Francisco.

Mind-blowing visit to House on the Rock
Wha???!!! What did I just see?
That is the typical response you hear from people as they walk out of the House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
The House on the Rock is either the ultimate collection of a man with eclectic interests or that of a serial hoarder.
I have heard it both ways.
The house was built by Alex Jordan, Jr. Jordan struggled academically, according to his bio at the visitors center of the house. He attended college, but apparently had so many interests; he did not stay focused on one thing for a major. So, college went by the wayside.
He bought the land with help from his parents. Jordan then allegedly built the place primarily by himself. He had an idea of a room should look. When, it did not turn out as he had envisioned it was not uncommon for him to tear it down and rebuild it.
Once he finished the main living area, his mind apparently kept going with ideas to add different rooms. The living quarters reflect that of a 1960s-70s era bachelor. Close your eyes and you can imagine the music blaring through stereo speakers, and people mingling drinks or other forms of "enlightenment" in hands.
The main floor appears to be in need of some serious dusting. That apparently has bugged some visitors, when reading reviews on Tripadvisor.com. However, Lisa and I agreed that it added to the atmosphere. Plus, in my view, it was not THAT dusty.
A room with a view juts out from the main floor. The Infinity room gives people a view of the woods and hillside…from above the woods and hillside. The room is a couple hundred feet long and narrows at the end. In the middle of the room is a glass window, where you can look down at the trees hundreds of feet below you. If you are tepid of heights or motion, it will be a challenge for you, but it's a must-do.
After leaving the main living area, the real fun begins! Rooms containing mind-blowing attractions – from a two-floor carousel made of everything BUT horses to a giant octopus fighting a whale – await you.
[bctt tweet="Mind blowing visit to House on the Rock in Wisconsin " username="walkingtourists"]
The carousel room has a giant two-floor carousel that takes up enough space for another house, I swear. The carousel has all kinds of weird-looking things on it, except the horses. Horses adorn the walls of the room.
The large carousel is not the only carousel in the room. Smaller ones are nearby.
Looking up to the ceiling, you see mannequins dressed as fairies. Then, off to the corner are the four horsemen…according to Alex Jordan's imagination.
Moving along, you walk through smaller exhibits of a circus-themed room, with small scale circus tents in glass-enclosed displays. Then, BAM! You are in a large circus room, with an elephant pyramid. Circus-dressed mannequins stand atop the elephants. Looking across from the pyramid, you see a huge circus wagon with a full-sized band playing.
Atop the walls of the circus room are wheels from circus wagons. Other displays sit behind glass along the walls.
Leave that room, walk a few more feet and you are in dollhouse land. Several dollhouses site behind glass, to be admired by many visitors.
A major attraction is the Main Street USA room. You walk in and immediately see an old-fashioned main street, with a barber shop, fire department and horseless carriage workshop. At the end of the street is a large band, consisting of both mannequins and self-playing instruments. A set of whiskey jugs play themselves. Like, I said, mind-blowing!
Next to the street band is a large locomotive. Eclectic items set up anywhere.
Moving along, you run into music rooms throughout the house. One of particular interest was an Asian orchestra. Put in a couple of tokens (each person paying for the full visit gets four free tokens. Plus, they can be purchased along the tour) and you hear a song from "Madame Butterfly." The drummer raises his eyebrows and moves his eyes. He is very freaky to watch.
There is one music room in which an orchestra of musical instruments plays. A large chandelier hangs from the ceiling above the instruments.
The grand attraction most people love to see is the whale and octopus fighting. A giant whale – longer than the Empire State Building is high – takes up a large room and stands more than two floors high. The scene makes one think of Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea." There are remains of a boat in the whale's mouth.
Again, the room has a nautical theme with items on display along the wall and other areas.
One last freaky room to mention is the doll room. Some of these dolls are just too freaky to look at. When you gaze at them, you think that you wouldn't be too surprised if they started talking to you. Freaky!
The house is full of a variety of rooms. They each show a wide range of interests on Jordan's part. From medieval items, royal crowns to cars and an assortment of guns, there is something for everyone.
The back story of the house's origins included a story that Jordan built the house after being rebuffed by the great architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright allegedly told a young Alex Jordan that he lacked the talent to learn under a great architect as himself. Historically, the timeline does not match up and thus this likely did not happen,
according to researchers.
Instead, Jordan built the house because he could. Once he felt he had completed as much as he could at that point,
Jordan started entertaining friends at the house.
At some point, people driving by the property asked to see it.
In 1961, it was opened to the public. His dad supported the idea of charging people admission to the house. They agreed to charge visitors 50 cents for the tour. Today, to tour the entire property, it costs $28.50.
The house is worth a weekend trip. It takes 4-7 hours to tour, depending on how much time you want to put in to it. We took 4.5 hours.
Some of the items on display are legitimate collectibles. Some are created specifically for the attraction.
Just know that once you enter the house, you need to suspend your sense of reality and just enjoy the ride.

City Pillar Shrineis located in front of the City Hall to the southwest. There are three city pillars made of teakwood. It was surmised that they were built more than 100 years ago; the first pillar in around 1857, the second in 1873, and the third in 1886. In 1897, the construction of the City Hall was completed and the city pillars were moved to the present location.
Then, a mondop (spired square building) was built in 1968 to house the three city pillars. The shrine is open daily from 6.30 a.m.-5.00 p.m.

PC locks up when converting large meshes to poly.
I know it could be one of a thousand things and system related but when I try to convert large meshes or the Mesher compound (2,000,000+) polys, my PC locks up solid, only a hard reset of the PC gets me out of it.
To be expected ? I only have 16 gig of mem in at the moment, I can understand Max locking up...the pile of shit that it is, but my whole PC? :/
edit: ok make that PC locks up when *working* with 2,000,000+ polys, I just tried to attach 4 objects of 500,000 each and boom instant lock up again :/
Max 2016 btw.

Check your fridge and TV. Max has been known to lock up other things connected to your house-hold power.
Max... I loved it, but boy is it a frustrating pile of crap sometimes.

Yeah, that's what 20 year old code gets you.
On the plus side your cooling solution seems pretty good.

So is it when your ram fills up? Don't you have paging?
I'm curious if it's at all related to HT support.
Yea amazing temps for two fans blowing at each other.

How long do you wait after lockup? Sometimes if you wait a couple of minutes it'll come back, it's just having to process such a massive amount of data that nothing else will get through sometimes.
You might try dividing up the 500k meshes into smaller more digestible chunks of say 50k-100k triangles and work your way through, making sure to set a super low weld threshold and WELD as you go along.

Nik: your a glass is always half full type of guy...I can tell ;)
@nemac: nope ram doesn't fill up , the scene only uses around 2 gigs, 2 fans blowing against each other is better than one fan blowing warm air across the other :p..might have something to with I have a fan directly above them blowing the air straight back down.
@HANZ: The lock up is instantaneous, my speakers pop and you hear the same faint power drain through them as you do when you reboot the PC...there's no way it's coming back.
I've tested the memory and run the Intel check on the CPU's, everything checks out ok, I don't have any issue with any other software.
It could have something to do with HT support, I'm now going to double check the board and drivers I installed, but like I said everything checks out with all tests I've run
I saved the scene I was working on last night, this morning when I try to open the same scene...boom, insta lock up...this is getting fucking tiresome :/
edit: Please tell me you *can* merge particle systems in Max without using the preset function.

Around 20 system freezes and hard resets in an hour, this can't be good for my PC...I'm going to rebuild the scene from scratch, saving incrementally.
...there is a lot going on, maybe all the data operators have something to do with it...Max just barfs when it see's what's coming in.
...as a side effect of the lock ups, my recent menu is empty, my toolbar shortcuts are destroyed and last night when I loaded my most recent save, it came in at the state it was before I saved it...almost like Max is auto loading the .bak file instead of the scene file.

Each and every time I've compiled my solution over the last month, I've had to wait approximately 30 seconds for the IDE to resume after compiling. It simply said Build failed / Build succeeded and would not let me click anywhere in the UI for a painful half-minute (which I put to good use).
At first, I assumed this was another "feature" of VS.NET that was causing me pain and suffering, just like when my VS.NET 2005 decided to make me pay for cheating on it with another IDE (Eclipse) when I was working on a few open source Java projects using Eclipse (StatSVN and jUCMNav).
I decided to launch VS.NET 2008 in Safe Mode to verify if this would fix my problem and, to my surprise, it did. I probably have an evil add-in that was migrated from VS.NET 2005... to be investigated.
Update: Even in safe mode, it started doing it again after a couple hours of work. I'll file this into the "unexplained" category, alongside my mysterious "clipboard doesn't work for large images when memory usage is too high". From what I can see, Windows 32bit with the /PAE or /3GB options simply doesn't work. I need to upgrade to a 64bit OS to use my 4GB ram because the startup options aren't working well for me.

- Inverted mode switches
- Of course you are right. We defined the Vec(sat) as composed as the sum of something we called the "intrinsic Offset" and Ic*Re. The intrinsic offset, I seem to remember, was on the order of 5 to 15 mv. Can't find any of the old datasheets that were produced which specified the part for D-A ladder switch aplication. These parts were very expensive because we had to spec these things very tightly, but in those days we had all the money in the world. (Cost plus fixed fee .. CPFF .. contracts. )

- How will you celebrate National Engineers Week?
- I agree. We are born that way. Just have to figure thingsout and build things. I did the same thing at about 10. CK722.....I still have a couple in my collection of things. Played with vacuum tubes and remember something called a condenser. Boy, how times have changed.
- 02.12.2017
- Inverted mode switches
- The reduced offset voltage can can be explained using old fashioned "T" parameters. The ON offset voltage is caused by base current flowing through Re. However, Rc is much lower than Re, hence less offset voltage if the emitter and collector are exchanged.
- 02.12.2017
- Inverted mode switches
- This is a blast from the past. My first job after college in 1964 was to design an airborne R2R 12 bit A-D ladder. We used inverted transistors for the ladder switches. We drove the basses very hard, effective beta of one or two! It turns out that though the offset voltage is very low, the on resistance is quite a bit higher than in the normal mode. The higher beta drive reduced the on resistance a little. We were able to buy, at a substantial premium, transistors with matched on resistances. At the time there was a transistor called a SPAT (silicon precision alloy transistor) that had matched collector base and emitter base break down voltages. In fact, inverted was the primary market for them, and they were not cheap. ..... Ah yes, the good old days.

|Uhu~ I love you, Mär. We'll be together forever and ever from now on, right? Ahahaha~
|~ Elise (Yoiyami no Uta)
She was voiced by Miku Hatsune and her narrations were provided by Saki Fujita.
Elise resembles Elisabeth with her long, tied-up blond hair, pale skin and green eyes. Her height is approximately 50-70 centimeters in the live performance. She is described wearing a off-shoulder black dress with partings in the skirt with a red petticoat and laces. Her hair is held back by a black and red diadem.
In actuality Elise is the doll that was given to Mär by Elisabeth when they were children and was thrown down the well along with him during the later events described in Hikari to Yami no Douwa. It is debatable how Elise was able to gain life, although it is possible that she is the incarnation of either Ido's will or Therese's thirst for revenge (the latter being implied through the imagery shown in the concert version of Yoiyami no Uta. While she isn't as active as Mär in helping the seven maidens get revenge, at the end of every track she gives a short commentary on the story that has been shown to be usually cruel or underhanded in nature.
In the final "act" of Haritsuke no Seijo she tries to convince Mär to forget about Elisabeth so they can continue getting revenge, a suggestion that falls on deaf ears. In desperation Elise tries to remind him of all the fun they've had helping others taking revenge. Declaring that they had made a promise to stay together forever, and that she loves Mär more than anyone else. At Mär's silent declining of this offer, force that was keeping Elise "alive" was banished, leaving only a regular doll in its place.

Depending on the snow/ice level, see if you can get some field footage; the farm seems a wonderful place to be a horse & if he's been living in a herd situation he'll have great horse/horse skills.

In 2006 we purchased our herd of Black Angus cattle. Despite the challenges afforded us during 5 years of drought, we now enjoy our 'beer-fed' beef. The free ranging pasture diet of these cattle is supplemented with spent grain, trub, hop waste from each brew as well as 'beer' waste from our still, hence the 'beer-fed' tag.
In 2010 we added some very handsome Wagyu Bulls to the mix and we are thrilled with the taste and texture of the meat they produce with the Black Angus cows. Extended hang time, usually up to 30 days, also provides wonderful eating quality to the beef.
Sustainability in farming is central to our philosophy. We practise organic principles using no synthetic fertilisers or herbicides. The management of our brewery waste is also integral to our farming and cattle raising.
Two Metre Tall 'Beer-Fed' Beef can be purchased at the Farm Bar. Either cook your own on our wood fired BBQ or take some home to try. All processing is conducted at Cradoc in the Huon Valley.
Sign up to our Two Metre Tall email newsletter by sending us an email so you will hear when & where our beef is available

A jury awarded $2.58 million to an Arnold, MO, couple in a medical malpractice case where a retiree got a staph infection and lost his right leg, part of his left foot, a kidney, and some hearing. The jury found Michael Shapiro, MD, and Metro Heart Group of St. Louis to be 67% responsible and St. Anthony's Medical Center to be 33% responsible. Defense attorneys denied any liability by either the hospital or Shapiro, saying the patient could have gotten the infection anywhere.

Hi everyone,
I have a bit of a dilemma. I am currently running my site direct-financing.com and have been doing so for around 2-3 months. It gets around 50-100 uniques a month. I know the design isn't great but i could work on that.
I am also considering setting up a webmaster resource site. I would like to geth some kind of community going somewhere and i'm not sure whether a financing site would be able to have a community.
If i decide to built the webmaster site to build a community i would still like to find ideas on how to incresae my traffic to my financing site even further. (NB - i did this without any paymeny advertising and would preferably like to keep it as such unless needed).
Has anyone got any ideas or comments............ please????????????
:confused: :confused: :confused:

I think link exchange with sites similar to your own is the best way to build traffic without paying for it.

"I am also considering setting up a webmaster resource site. I would like to geth some kind of community going somewhere and i'm not sure whether a financing site would be able to have a community..."
It shouldn't be any harder to build a financing community than a webmaster community (not that either would be all that easy).
People could be encouraged to share methods of getting financing, especially at lower rates than normal. Instead of complaining about merchants, they could vent their frustrations on the ripoff bank of their choice. Of course banks have lawyers and deep pockets, so you will want to make sure you've set it up in a suit-proof fashion!
Since getting financing isn't so competitive, at least not for the small money, you may even get people to say which banks are the best to deal with! If a particular offer comes up again and again, a banner for that one could miraculously appear. To head off the idea that you've just planted comments in favor of your latest merchant, try labeling this banner as "member recommended bank" (substitute whatever fits for "bank"--credit card, mortgage lender, etc.). Not that forums drive that many clicks, but you might as well give it a shot if an opportunity jumps in your face!

I started out being raised Catholic and was in the Catholic Church until I went away to college. When I reached college, I wasn't in any church. Sadly enough I belonged to "being free". After college, I went to a Methodist Church for about 2 years. Then I began to go to a Church of Christ for almost 12 years. I went to different Church of Christ buildings in different towns, but they were all Church of Christ. Now, I have been attending a Christian Church for almost 8 years. So...what do I believe?
Well, looking at that track record, you would probably say that I was a church hopper; or that I didn't know what I wanted. You would be partially right.
I was raised in the Catholic Church so I attended the church because I had to. I was not in it for me, nor was I in it for God. I did it cause mom and dad said so.
When I was attending the Methodist Church, I did so because that is where my husband went. It was similar to the Catholic faith and it was close to home. So it made sense to go there. Again, it wasn't for me, nor was it for God.
The Church of Christ started out as me going because it was the only place I knew anyone. We had moved to Wisconsin and I didn't know a soul, but had family that went to church there. So, seemed like the logical thing to do. It started out as just me attending church to get to know other people in that area and get my kids some good friends to hang with. It soon became a real eye opener for me! I realized that my whole life, as far as church was concerned, I went out of convenience or loyalty to others. I did not go for me, nor did I go for God. So, I decided to change that!
I started to actually pay attention and try to learn something. Once I opened up to the Word of God, I realized soooooo much more!! It was scary really!! I will not share the whole story now, cause I am writing a book. However, it changed this life that I am living for the better and I have never looked back. The foundation I received from opening myself up to God's Word is one that is still with me today.
After years of being at the Church of Christ, I started to feel as though I needed to expand my spiritual knowledge and share it with others.
I found a Christian Church that I did not fall in love with right away. It was in the process and being established and I was not impressed. So, I decided to keep my daughters at home and study with them. I attended a few Bible studies, but other than that, we did not attend a church anywhere. This did not last long because I felt lost immediately.
I started back up at that same Christian Church and decided to give it another shot. Guess what happened? I opened myself up to God and this time, HE ROCKED MY WORLD! I became more aware of what God wanted out of me and what He expected of me. Once I allowed Him to use me, as He intended to all along, I became more stable in my faith.
I have grown so much as a Christian, but better yet.... I AINT DONE GROWING!! I have much to learn still and I can feel God's love all around me now. I absolutely love studying God's Word with others! I love being at church and feeling the energy! I love the support I receive there! It is important that where you go to worship supports you in your growth with Jesus Christ!
So.....What do I believe?
I believe in Jesus Christ, the ONLY Son of God! I believe in the Word of God and that it is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH! I believe that we need to follow His Word and be obedient! I believe that we need to be baptized! I believe that it takes sacrifice and passion to be a disciple of Christ! Whether I learned that in a Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, Christian, Church of Christ, or any other building is irrelevant. Those titles mean nothing to God! Yes, some congregations do not teach the Word of God; some mislead you.
The first thing I had to realize was that we are not suppose to attend church for ourselves!! That's right folks! We should not go to church and try to get something out of it for ourselves. God will give to us, but only after we give to Him. We have to be willing to be used and for His good, not ours! BUT - no matter where you are going; if you do not OPEN YOURSELF UP TO GOD, it will all be pointless!!
"Consider it pure joy my brothers, whenever, you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverence. Perseverence must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
Lori - Author/Speaker
I can honestly say that no one has ever called me "normal"! That is just fine with me! God created me to stand out, be different, be weird, and not blend in with the world.
There are definately many personalities floating around in my mind. This makes for quite an interesting day with me! It is "Grand Central Station" up there! I have even 'named them'! (Don't send in the troops just yet)
The great thing about having such diversity is that there is never a dull moment with me! I always make sure that heading up this little party in my mind is the Lord God Himself!
God has shown me how to embrace the 'fun' inside me and use it to better His Kingdom! I have found that I don't have to be a 'stick in the mud' to be a Christian. I am a child of God! I am a Chrsitian! I am a follower of Christ! I AM HIS! Every day I am working toward becoming a better Disciple! I will NEVER be perfect - but I am SAVED; so that is all that matters!!

Amen girlfriend! The moment we start treating church like it is supposed to cater to us, the moment we move to worshiping self over worshiping God. And, in that, He is NEVER pleased. Preach it, girlfriend.

Peter MacLeod: Sagesse Reportée Trailer (2014)
11 November 2014 100 mins
In his show Sagesse reportée, Quebec comic Peter MacLeod explores the implications of turning forty. He knows he should be setting an example by becoming socially more mature. He should have a wife, not a girlfriend, a joint account, a minivan, a Costco membership, a season golf pass and a seat on Josélito Michaud's Orford Express. In other words, he should be spending his weekends picking up reno supplies at Home Hardware, going to his son's soccer tournaments and trying out the latest Ricardo recipes. But in his quest for forty-something freedom he opts out of the exemplary suburban-dad lifestyle to show us that older doesn't necessarily mean wiser.

The IIDA NY Chapter is proud to be a coalition member of IDLNY, and work together with the other coalition members on legislation efforts to further advance the rights of certified Interior Designers.
Founded in 1984, IDLNY is the governmental arm for New York State interior designers; whose mission is to inform and educate the New York legislative and regulatory bodies, interior designers and consumers about the issues confronting the interior design profession. In addition IDLNY continually monitors legislation that could affect the practice of interior design and serves as a representative coalition for this process. Primary members of the organizations that made up the coalition are: ASID New York Metro, ASID Upstate C/E, IIDA NY Chapter, The Decorators Club, and the schools and colleges that are part of NY11. IDLNY's mission is to advance, promote and protect the right to practice Interior Design in the State of New York.
New YorkState– Current Legislation:
Current title act legislation in New York State under article 161 regulates the use of the title "certified interior designer" only to those individuals who have passed the NYS requirements for certification. For information on Article 161 please visit: http://www.op.nysed.gov/prof/id/article161.htm
An Overview of IDLNY's Activities 2000 – 2010:
Since the late 1990's IDLNY was focused on legislation know euphemistically as, "Owning the Title, Interior Designer" that would mandate that any and all interior designers in the state who wanted to offer their services to the public under the title interior designer would need to become licensed by the State Education Department, the same state agency that regulates the design professions: architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and surveying.
IDLNY also focused its activities on the issue of the unfair and discriminatory sales tax on interior design services that was imposed in 1990 during a State of New York Budget crisis. IDLNY was behind the introduction of two major initiatives – legislation that would repeal the sales tax on interior design services and legislation that would make the voluntary title act – Certified Interior Design – into a mandatory title act.
In 2003, IDLNY retained a lobbying firm in Albany to represent the interests of interior designers and they were instrumental in having legislation introduced in the Assembly and the Senate that would repeal the sales tax and create a mandatory title act. Bills were alive for two years in the legislative cycle and in 2004, the title act legislation passed unanimously in both houses of the legislature, only to be vetoed by then Governor George Pataki. The title act legislation was reintroduced for the 2005-2006 legislative cycle with the same result – unanimous passage in the Senate and Assembly and again a veto by Governor Pataki.
With a switch in Governors in 2007, IDLNY again tried to pass the title act legislation and again the same result happened – passage in both house of the legislature and a veto by then Governor Elliot Spitzer. The language of his veto was the same as that of his predecessor; that the voluntary certified interior design designation was sufficient to differentiate CID's as a "class of interior designers that meet a high standard of professionalism and they have, through licensure, demonstrated experience, skill and training". Three strikes and we were out.
While the energy of IDLNY was focused on the title act, the move to repeal the sales tax on interior design services was also being advanced during the period 2003 -2007, through meetings with senior staff at the Department of Tax and Finance. IDLNY staff developed a report that analyzed the impact of the sales tax repeal on state and local governments and while our numbers were considerably less then the state's projections and while there was encouragement from state policy makers, the state's fiscal crisis overwhelmed the argument for repeal as every tax dollar was needed to keep New York afloat.
The IDLNY Board decided in 2008, that since two governors had vetoed the title act legislation and both had indicated that we needed to promote certification as a way to differentiate "qualified" interior designers as a class of providers within the field of interior design, our focus would be to promote legislation that would recognize CID's by giving them certain privileges that non-certified interior designers could not have. This decision led to the development of the current pieces of legislation.
Current IDLNY Activities (as of September 2011):
The experiences of the past decade have allowed the IDLNY mission to mature and expand. The current board has been expanded to comprise a wider range of stakeholders than in the past, representing the core supporters of each coalition member, educators, students, and new practitioners. IDLNY is currently finalizing a new strategic plan for the next three to five years and will be ready to release this information in the coming months. In addition IDLNY is in the process of reworking and expanding internal processes with newly formed committees tasked with ensuring IDLNY's newly minted goals.
Based on the hard work set in place in the last two years, in 2011 IDLNY was able to introduce a bill that would allow certified interior designers to become principles and/or partners in a professional design corporation similar to the language that allows architects, engineers, landscape architects and land surveyors to join together as partners or principles in a Professional Corporation (PC) or a Limited Liability Corporation (LLC ). AB6933 was introduced in the Senate and Assembly on 1/5/2011. This bill is currently awaiting an amendment that clarifies that it only relates to certified interior designers and will be reintroduced next session.
There is also a lot of current discussion revolving around enhancing the value of certified interior designers work in a codes based environment. There is a lot of exciting activity happening at IDLNY right now. Please stay tuned and we update you quarterly on everything that IIDA NY has accomplished in conjunction with IDLNY.
Contribute: Financial support for IDLNY comes almost entirely from organizational dues from the coalition partners – ASID NY Metro, ASID Upstate C/E, IIDA NY Chapter, The Decorators' Club, grants from ASID National and IIDA International and fund raising events.

In case you're one of the five people in the world of nerd things who never got the memo, Fox and Marvel have a complicated relationship. Every character in both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the X-Men movies was created by Marvel Comics, but before Iron Man came along, when Marvel were broke as hell, they sold the rights to the X-Men to 20th Century Fox for a quick buck.
This week, the news broke that Marvel and 20th Century Fox would be co-producing a new, untitled X-Men TV show focused on a mutant family on the run from the government. It sounds like it could be pretty good but, more than that, the two studios coming together is in itself quite significant, raising once again the question of whether Marvel — which is owned by Disney, and couldn't go broke now even if it invested the entire box office of Captain America: Civil War in cocaine, strippers and Dom Pérignon Blanc — should buy back the rights to the X-Men.
With that in mind, I'll be using this article to break down the pros and cons of such a deal, however likely it may or not be, and to try and work out whether retreating to Mother Marvel is really in the best interests of mutantkind.
Why Marvel Should Extradite The X-Men
How about we start with the fact that both the Avengers and the X-Men have a varied and sprawling history in the comics which neither film universe has yet managed to replicate? Marvel's first Civil War event involved an absolute ton of superheroes. Although only a loose adaptation, Captain America: Civil War had literally ten.
That actually made sense in the context of a very personal story with high emotional stakes, but my point stands: an entire universe of heroes and mutants exists out there, and there's joy in seeing characters from different comic book backgrounds interact. As it stands, we'll never see Nick Fury and Charles Xavier in the same room, as in Ultimate War, and that just straight-up sucks.
Then again, Marvel don't even seem that bothered about using the superheroes they already have (don't hold your breath for Daredevil doing combat alongside the Avengers on-screen), so there's no guarantee we'd get a big crossover even if they did own the X-Men.
The bigger, more culturally important argument for a reunion is the fact that Marvel appear to be killing the X-Men comics. That makes sense from a business perspective — publishing a new X-Men comic is akin to promoting future movies from a rival studio — but it's also shady as all hell and massively disrespectful to fans of the X-adventures on the page. And there are a lot of them: In 1991, X-Men #1 sold over 8 million copies to become the all-time best-selling comic book.
Leaving politics aside, it's easy to argue that Marvel simply makes better movies than Fox. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way since Iron Man. It's now a machine, constantly churning out well-written, entertaining solo and team-up movies which generally respect their characters (unlike, say, DC's Batman v Superman, which gleefully transformed the Caped Crusader into an armed murderer).
By contrast, the X-Men movies are a constant source of controversy. Personally I loved X-Men: Apocalypse, but many of my friends and colleagues took issue with everything from Bryan Singer's direction to the fact that, 16 years later, Magneto still can't decide whether to be Xavier's straight boyfriend or his greatest nemesis. If new blood is needed to reinvigorate Xavier's mutants, wouldn't it make sense for Marvel to give the transfusion?
Well, not necessarily...
Why Xavier's Team Is Just Fine At Fox
One of the reasons Civil War felt like the jewel in the crown of the MCU was that, in many ways, it played out more like a political thriller and human drama which happened to feature superheroes than a traditional comic book movie. That sense of grounded emotion seems to be the direction Marvel is headed in, a move that the decidedly mixed reaction to Avengers: Age of Ultron (a big, dumb comic book adventure) will only have fuelled.
That in turn leaves a big space for a proper comic book movie. The new X-Men trilogy, in particular Days of Future Past and Apocalypse, feels like a truer representation of a comic book on the screen, and all the insanity that comes with it, than the more grounded MCU. The world of the X-Men comics is one big, colorful, crazy realm in which anything can happen (and probably already has). Common sense is often left at the door, and that's no bad thing.
I want the X-Men to head into space. I want mind control, evil clones and journeys into alternate dimensions. I want to see Jean Grey command Cyclops to make out with Emma Frost. From the future... on her grave. Kevin Feige will be in his grave long before Marvel ever embraces the batshit nature of comic books. Ironically, both of DC's big tentpoles this year — Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad — pay homage to their comic book origins in a similar manner to the X-Men movies.
The crucial difference is that the X-Men don't take themselves so seriously. Moira woke Apocalypse by entering a pyramid and leaving its chambers exposed to sunlight for like, two minutes. Are we meant to believe nobody else ever did that before now? Of course not. We're meant to roll with the punches, because they're dumb and they're fun. And that's what the X-Men are all about.
Marvel's Best Hope
So, should Marvel make a move on the X-Men? Personally, I'd rather they didn't. In a way the X-Men have always been completely unique within the realm of Marvel Comics. They're big, bold characters who deserve equally bold movies.
That's not to say a rethink at Fox isn't in order — in particular it's going to become borderline impossible to make another trilogy if every movie continues to skip forward a decade in time. It's probably time to put Mystique to rest, too, and focus not just on the younger generation, but also on the other mutants so-far unexplored in the current timeline. The likes of Daken, Bling and Karma are still waiting for their moment, and there are quite a few more waiting in the wings.
In fact, Marvel would do better to focus their attentions on the Fantastic Four. Fox are still threatening to make a sequel to last year's morbidly embarrassing mega-bomb and, much like a Trump presidency, that simply can't be allowed to happen. Fox has failed the Fantastic Four, and only the Midas touch of Kevin Feige can possibly unscrew the nails from the coffin.
But the X-Men have not been failed, and under Fox, that comic book-style cross pollination of characters from various teams finally seems set to happen. We have both X-Force and New Mutants on the way, not to mention the introduction of Cable in Deadpool 2 — the same Cable who was birthed by the clone of Jean Grey... who is about to go all Dark Phoenix on our asses.
Fire up the Blackbird folks, because the X-Universe is all coming together at last — and, like us, Marvel is merely a spectator.

If you have not had the opportunity to look into solar power for a while, you may be surprised at the diversity you will find. There are different solar panel sizes, styles, looks, and of course prices. You will not want to automatically choose the least expensive solar panels though. Your choice should depend on what you intend to use your solar power for.
If you are trying to convert your entire household to solar power from other forms of power, such as electricity, then you will want to look for a high efficiency solar panel.
High efficiency solar panels mean that one solar panel will provide more power to your home. Look for an efficiency as close to 20per cent as possible. That way, you will not have to invest in the same number of solar panels as you might have to for a lower-efficiency panel.
How do you figure out the number of panels you need?
Many solar panels give output numbers in the form of kilowatts per hour. It is a good idea to search online for a converter and then grab an electrical bill to see how many watts your average monthly use entails.
Many websites for solar panel retailers have formulas you can use to calculate based on the efficiency of their particular panels. Unfortunately, there is no standard answer, but the costs of setting up a major solar panel system for your house will typically run between £5,500 and £9,500.
When you consider that you may save or generate up to £600 within a year, this is an investment that pays for itself very quickly.
Check out the Feed-In Tariff scheme to get more information. To apply for the programme, you will have to have an Energy Performance Certificate first.

When he decided to embrace his childhood roots, he and his diners were rewarded.
By Dorie Turner, Associated Press
Published January 2, 2008
DECATUR, Ga. - Scott Peacock spent most of his early career as a chef hiding from his roots.
Growing up in rural southeast Alabama, Peacock and his family cooked their vegetables straight out of the garden. Okra and corn that lingered longer than a day without touching a pot ended up in the cattle feed.
After stumbling into a couple of catering gigs while a college intern at the Florida governor's office, Peacock set his sights on being a pastry chef. He wanted to go to Italy and France and make exotic, beautiful dishes far from the fried chicken and banana pudding of his youth.
"I wanted to be anything but what I was," said Peacock, whose work in Southern cuisine earned him the James Beard Foundation award for the best cook in the Southeast last year.
Then came the earth-shattering piece of lemon chess pie, a Southern staple with creamy lemon filling. Peacock, in his mid 20s at the time and working as a pastry chef at a Florida restaurant, was back home for his grandmother's funeral.
Feeling smug about his fancy mousses and crepes, he tried a piece of pie brought by a woman from his family's church.
"I had a moment where I realized that this pie is as good as anything I was making in that restaurant," he said while sitting in Watershed, the metro Atlanta restaurant where he has been the chef for nine years.
He didn't act on his revelation immediately, instead cooking foreign dishes at hunting lodges and fundraisers, eventually landing in the Georgia governor's mansion stirring up French cuisine. A national magazine called, wanting to feature one of his dinners.
Needing advice on what to cook, Peacock turned to Edna Lewis - a famed Southern cook who championed the food of her Virginia upbringing in the kitchens of New York City - whom he had met at a Southern food festival in the 1980s.
She gently nudged, and then outright dragged, him toward preparing a Southern meal. And he has been serving up the flavors of his childhood ever since.
Not that it was easy. In the early 1990s, Southern food wasn't exactly chic, so deciding to start an upscale restaurant in Atlanta's posh Buckhead neighborhood that served delicacies from below the Mason-Dixon Line was a bit risky.
"People had this notion of it being greasy, overcooked and bad for you," Peacock said. "Any food can be that. That's just bad cooking."
He was head chef at Horseradish Grill for two years before he burned out and decided to take a break to write. That's when he and Lewis, who had become his mentor, penned The Gift of Southern Cooking and founded the Society for the Revival and Preservation of Southern Cooking.
A few years later, Peacock's friend Emily Saliers, half of the folk group Indigo Girls, called with a plea for help. She and some friends wanted to open a retail space with at small takeout food counter in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur and desperately needed his help.
He promised them four weeks.
That turned into four months, and then four years. Customers liked the food so much that Peacock expanded the menu, closed in the kitchen and replaced the retail space with tables.
Nine years later, Peacock is the self-proclaimed "ambassador of pimento cheese," taking a container of his homemade cheddar spread on every trip. Food directors for the Today show now make special requests for the Southern dish whenever Peacock is on the schedule.
As for Watershed, the restaurant has been a wild success, selling out nearly every week on fried chicken Tuesdays. Dinner at the restaurant usually means a wait, and forget about squeezing in during Sunday brunch without a reservation.
The menu features Southern favorites like fried catfish, pimento cheese and fried okra.The shrimp grits appetizer is a bowl of piping hot stone-ground grits blended with shrimp paste for a rich, buttery taste that sits heavy on the tongue.
Regulars make sure to get a hug from the chef when he emerges from the kitchen. "This is just like my grandmother's dish," they tell him.
"I used to be offended by that remark," Peacock says with a laugh. "But it's absolutely the highest praise you can get now."

Creamy Grits with Shrimp Paste
For the shrimp paste:
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1 pound fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup sherry
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the grits:
2 cups water
2 cups milk, or more
1 cup stone-ground grits
Kosher salt
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- To make the shrimp paste: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter until foaming.
-Add the shrimp, salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and cook, stirring often, 4 to 7 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and use a slotted spoon to transfer the shrimp to the bowl of a food processor. Leave the cooking liquid in the skillet.
-Return the skillet to the stove and add the sherry, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. Cook over high heat until the liquid is reduced to about 3 tablespoons and is quite syrupy.
- Immediately add this liquid to the shrimp in the food processor, then puree until smooth.
- With the motor running, add the remaining butter in pieces and process until thoroughly blended. Taste the paste for seasoning, adjusting with salt, pepper or lemon juice as needed.
- Transfer the shrimp paste to a ceramic crock and allow to cool.
- To make the grits: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups of water and the milk. Heat over medium until just simmering.
- Meanwhile, place the grits in a large bowl and add enough cool water to just cover. Stir the grits assertively so that any chaff (husks) floats to the top. Skim the surface of the water to remove the chaff.
-With a mesh strainer, drain the grits, then stir them into the simmering water and milk. Cook at low heat, stirring often, until the grits are tender and have the consistency of thick oatmeal.
- Regular grits are done in about 20 minutes, but stone-ground grits can take more than an hour to cook completely.
- As grits thicken, it's important to stir them more often to prevent sticking and scorching on the bottom of the pan. If the grits become too thick, stir in a little extra water and milk to thin.
- Season the grits generously with salt, then stir in the cream and butter. Remove from heat and let rest, covered, until ready to serve. When ready, mix 1 cup (or more, to taste) of the shrimp paste into the grits. Ladle into bowls.
Serves 6 to 8.

I am a family physician, wife, mother of two, and former medical missionary to Nepal. I grew up in the city of Chicago with me, my two sisters, my parents, and the occasional aunt or uncle all stuffed into a two bedroom apartment. Though I occasionally went to church when I was young, I did not entrust my life to Christ until meeting him as an undergrad, through the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship chapter at Loyola University Chicago. After graduating from Loyola with a BS in Chemistry, I received my MD from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine in 2003. I then graduated from the Waukesha Family Medicine Residency Program in Wisconsin in 2006.
After practicing in a community health center in eastern Tennessee for two years, my husband Doug and I (with our newborn daughter in tow) moved to Nepal, where we spent four years as medical missionaries with TEAM. We served at TEAM Hospital Dadeldhura, a 50-bed hospital in a remote area of the country (you can see it on Google Maps here). Doug was the medical director of the hospital, and I held down the fort at home with our two children as well as helped out in the hospital and the local church when I could. We returned on home assignment in 2013, fully expecting to return to Nepal after a year. The rest is history. Now we are back in the US until God gives us another assignment. We are glad to be close to Elmbrook Church, our sending church when we were in Nepal, where we have been members for over a decade.
Cooking and baking used to be my hobby until I birthed a son who eyes new foods with suspicion. ("Is there fruit in this???"). I love good coffee, reading, and growing heirloom tomatoes.

text: Hi, I have had a hunt around on the net and these forums for answer to this issue, but can't seem to find it anywhere! Can anyone else confirm having this or even part of my issue? I quite often turn the 3G off on the phone to conserve battery when not using it. Sometimes (roughly once every three days) the 3G refuses to turn back on. I use a the mobile data widget to disable/enable the mobile data, and the widget changes colour to green to show it has been pressed, but the data doesn't resume. I have also tried changing it in the phone settings as well and get the connection failed error message after 1-2 seconds. The only thing I have found to correct the problem is restarting the phone. When the phone comes back on, the data works as normal, and I will get another couple of days from it without having the same issue. To add another element of confusion I get a text message after rebooting the phone from having this problem from "Anonymous" with nothing in the message and SIM card symbol on the right hand side of the screen???? Anyone else getting this loss of mobile data and/or text message? Thanks.
