Our annual AGM was held on March 25, 2017 at Valley Centre Hall. We had addresses from MP Earl Dreeshen, MLA Ron Orr, Carsten Erbe from the Alberta Solicitor General's Department, Red Deer County Mayor Jim Wood, and Reeve Paula Law from Lacombe County, as well as Cpl. Jason McFarlane from Blackfalds RCMP.
The event began at 10:00 am, with a dynamic presentation from our keynote speaker, Kathy Macdonald who spoke on internet safety. She spoke about internet scams and how easy it is for people to hack into your computer without using simple things like a longer, more difficult password.
After the presentation we had a light lunch followed by the AGM. Reports were given by the RCW Executive and Committees and two additional Board members were nominated to the Board which was the culmination to a very successful AGM.

MAPLE HEIGHTS -- Maple Heights Police along with the SWAT team were called to a house on Greenhurst Drive late Tuesday.
Sources say a man barricaded himself inside the home. A female was also inside, but it's unclear if she was being held against her will. Police say the male suspect was wanted for outstanding warrants and didn't want to go to jail.
The standoff ended just after midnight Wednesday after the SWAT team made forcible entry.
The identities of those inside are not clear at this time.

I am a SAHM, so my time "off" will be in the hospital, with no pay except for baby snuggles.
I've never had a maternity leave. With my oldest, I got done teaching in early June and had him about 2 weeks later. I was honest and told them I would not be coming back. I could have said I was, got paid for my sick time once the new year started, which was about 45 days, and then poof decide I wasn't coming back, but I didn't feel like that would be fair to the school, my partner teacher, or the students.

"Anyone interested in the challenges and opportunities faced by the low-income people must read this well-researched book. At a time when intellectual discourse on this important topic is urgently needed, London's and Hart's book combines a wealth of experience in the corporate setting with a deep understanding of economics. Needless to say, we are in the midst of multiple global crises threatening the well-being of all. This book is an attempt to give capitalism new strategies for responding to those crises."
Muhammad Yunus, Head of Grameen
"This book demonstrates that the most socially useful business models to serve the Base of the Pyramid are those which are created for the market they seek to serve, incorporating appropriate green technologies and innovation-oriented strategies in venture development. Such ventures can go on to achieve the higher purpose of BoP businesses: poverty alleviation."
Ratan Tata, CEO, Tata Industries
"More than a decade ago, C.K. Prahalad and others first opened our eyes to the huge opportunities inherent in Base of the Pyramid markets. This book captures the thinking of the last 10 years and confirms that those opportunities are greater than ever. As such, it is a fitting tribute to Prahalad and his fellow pioneersand an essential read for anyone wishing to understand and capitalize upon the real potential of BoP marketplaces."
Paul Polman, Chief Executive, Unilever
"A crucial and most creative re-framing of the BoP debate: The authors look at the world's poor not just as four billion more consumers, but also as a source of talented entrepreneurspotential business partners ready to enter the formal economy to put their assets to work and lift themselves, and their countries, out of poverty."
Hernando de Soto, Institute for Liberty and Democracy
"The Base of the Pyramid is a big breakthrough idea that risked being captured as the new conventional wisdom. This clever book by scholars and practitioners averts that by taking the deeply original insight to the next stage. A fitting tribute to C.K. Prahalad."
Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, Former Administrator, United Nations Development Programme
"Ted London's and Stuart Hart's insightful book explores with a fresh lens the challenges facing the economies and communities of the BoP, and offers long-term solutions based on joint value-creation rather than 'fortune-seeking.' Today's businesses must engage with these communities on a deeper level, to ensure equal understanding of the culture's needs, how to educate BoP business owners, and to uncover ways to move forwardwith sustainability as a top priority. This book makes an invaluable contribution to that end."
Fisk Johnson, CEO, S.C. Johnson
During the last decade, first-generation "Base of the Pyramid" (BoP) ventures focused primarily on "finding a fortune at the BoP" by selling existing goods to and sourcing familiar products from the world's four billion poorest people. Many of these initiatives did not scale, and some failed outright. But through that experience, crucial lessons have been learned. Innovators are now succeedingthanks to a more sophisticated and nuanced approach based on "creating a fortune with the BoP."
In this book, co-editors Ted London, Stuart L. Hart, and other leading BoP thought and practice leaders show how to apply these second-generation BoP innovations, techniques, and business models. You'll learn how to build successful business ventures, create sustainable business ecosystems, design new technologies with the BoP in mind, and even transform entire sectors through collaborative entrepreneurship. Key lessons to be learned include
Roadmaps for Success
• A roadmap for venture development
• Patient capital and innovation for the BoP
Strategic Opportunities
• The "Green Leap" and the BoP
• Turning BoP needs into markets
Effective Implementation
• Understanding the BoP at the micro level
• Reframing design for the BoP
• Scaling up BoP ventures

Instead of finding the culprit, the city is fining the victims of the crime.
It may seem backwards to fine the victims of a hate crime, and that's because it absolutely is. The city of Stamford in Connecticut has decided to fine the couple six weeks after the crime took place because they have yet to paint over it.
It all started one morning, the Saturday just before Martin Luther King Jr. Day to be exact, when?Lexene Charles went outside to get in his car. He was shocked to see that an anti-black racial slur had been spray painted onto his garage and immediately called for?Heather Lindsay, his longtime partner, to come outside.
Charles, who is black, and Lindsay, who is white, have refused to paint over or clean the graffiti until the culprit is caught, which is what sparked the city to slap fines on them. Three weeks after the incident, the city issued a?citation for blight that carries a fine of $100 for every day that the graffiti stays up.
The couple said that they have been advised by their lawyer to keep the pressure on the police department in charge of the investigation so that they don't "just cover it up and sweep it under the table as they have done in the past."
The pair has?been living in the house for nearly 20 years and this isn't the first run-in they've had with racially-charged words directed at them nor is it their first time battling a citation. Lindsay said that their home has been vandalized several times and that when they first moved into the neighborhood?in 1999, several people yelled racial slurs at Charles. They were also told on many occasions that Charles' presence was reducing property values.
"I cannot believe it. At this time, someone could write this. Those times were supposed to be way back in the ?60s and I was born in ?61," 56-year-old Lexene Charles told the Stamford Advocate.?Since the incident, he said, "I don?t sleep good," adding that he now slept near the front door with a hammer. ?I?m always looking out the window. I?ve never done that before.?
Investigators have said that they are doing everything they can to pinpoint the culprit but in the meantime they, along with the mayor, have offered their help in cleaning up the graffiti. However, with the help of the media, the couple are hoping that the added pressure will force the police department to take action on one of the few suspects that were originally questioned.
The whole issue might come to a head in another legal matter that the couple is facing when they ignored citations in 2012 regarding debris on their property after their house flooded. The fines against them continue to be racked up and have so far reached over $130,000, despite the issue being taken care of years ago. The city is using this as grounds to bring the couple to a foreclosure trial in early March and intend to seize the house.
The city has the upper hand in the upcoming trial but Lindsay and Charles plan to seek out the former mayor, who promised them in 2013 that the city would not attempt to take their home away from them.?Though the trial should be their primary focus, they refuse to back down with the graffiti issue as a matter of principle because the racist remarks towards them have not yielded in all the years prior when they tried to ignore the vandalism and comments.

The answer is simply: Darren Wilson.
A single statistic utterly gives the lie to the idea that change is impossible in our country: Darren Wilson fired more shots into Michael Brown than the entire police in England and Wales fired at people in 2013.
For the world's last remaining superpower America is still far too violent. It retains the death penalty and its culture of arms has gone too far. Combine these elements with institutional racism and we get Darren Wilson, George Zimmerman and countless others throughout modern history.

Rest 15 seconds
30 seconds of ring dips (see scaling options in notes)
Rest 30 seconds
Notes: Compare to 01.09.14. At the top of each minute, for 32 minutes, you will rotate stations and try to accumulate as many reps or calories as possible of each movement. Note that the AD and box jump overs are 45 seconds of work while the pull-ups and dips are 30 seconds. You are responsible for seeing the clock and stopping at the appropriate time as the clock will simply be set to beep at the start of each minute. If you can't do 2-3 consecutive strict pull-ups, use a band. If you can do more than 10 however in 30 seconds, add weight. If you can't do ring dips, do ring pushups. If you can't do ring pushups, do pushups.

Questions? Call 1-800-798-7902 M-F 9am-6pm EST
One of the most emotionally devastating concerns we hear about from our customers
and readers is thinning hair and hair loss. At Women's Health Network, we understand
that a woman's head of hair is her crowning glory — and losing too much hair can
be a serious and frightening blow to her self-esteem.
Reacting so strongly to the physical state of your hair may seem like vanity, but
it's not. Your hair is one of the first areas, along with skin and nails, to manifest
signs of hormonal imbalance, poor nutrition, or illness. Understanding how hair
naturally regenerates and paying attention to any changes in your hair growth and
appearance are important parts of taking care of yourself.
The truth is, a certain amount of continuous hair loss is normal. Although more
than one-third of women experience excessive hair loss or hair thinning at some
point during their lives, it's an indication that something is not right. Unfortunately,
many conventional doctors downplay hair loss as an inevitable part of aging for
both sexes, treating it with topical products like Rogaine that enhance existing
hair but offer no real solution to underlying causes of hair loss, and therefore
no prevention of continued hair thinning. This leads many women — especially those
in menopause — to think that there is nothing they can do to stop their hair loss.
The good news is that we've seen many cases resolve over time with a holistic approach.
While we wouldn't claim to know the ultimate cure for all hair loss (don't believe
anyone who says they do!), we don't think a balding woman should resign herself
to shopping for hair thickeners or wigs when there are so many other natural choices
she can make to support natural hair growth where it counts — at the root.
A strand of hair is made up of extruded, compacted dead cells. It grows from living
follicles in the skin of the scalp. At the hair follicle, or root of the hair, all
of your major systems are at work, including your circulatory, endocrine, and nervous
systems. That's why it hurts when someone pulls your hair!
Every hair follicle has four distinct phases it cycles through on a regular basis:
growth (anagen), transition (catagen), resting (telogen),
and returning growth (mesanagen) (see figure below). A full cycle can last
anywhere from two to five years per follicle. Unusual hair loss and thinning can
occur for several different reasons, which is why it's important to get a clinical
evaluation. In some cases, the follicle is healthy but the hair cycle is thrown
off (e.g., shortened growth phase or too many hairs at the same time entering the
resting phase. In many cases, androgens (male sex hormones) are involved. In other
cases of hair loss, the follicle itself is inflamed, resulting in abnormal hair
growth. When a group of follicles are inflamed, bald spots can occur. Most of the
time this happens gradually, but in some cases (especially a few months following
a major stressor), it can happen all at once, causing clumps of hair to fall out.
© 2006 Women's Health Network
Human beings lose hair every day, as many as 100 strands a day. This may sound like
a lot, but in a normal cycle just as many hairs are coming in. You can test hair
loss with the "pull test." Take about 50 hairs between your fingers and pull gently
but firmly. Normally about 2-5 hairs will come out — reflecting the average 10%
of hair follicles that are transitioning towards the resting phase at any one time.
More than 6 hairs may indicate a systemic imbalance (e.g., low thyroid function)
or a hair loss disorder, such as telogen effluvium or alopecia areata.
Telogen effluvium, which occurs when too many hairs enter the resting
phase, may happen suddenly, commonly about three months after a major stress to
the body, or due to hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, or certain medications.
Hair loss on the scalp may be diffuse, and armpit or pubic hair may thin as well.
The thing to realize about the resting, or telogen, phase is that it is designed
to be temporary. Hair follicles can be shocked into the resting phase by many stressors,
and just as suddenly switch back "on" once the stress is eliminated. In other words,
this type of hair loss often reverses with time, and that "miracle cure" for hair
loss that you read about the internet may well be a waste of your money! A majority
of women with moderate hair loss will notice big improvements just by paying more
attention to their stress levels and nutrition.
Alopecia areata is a hereditary autoimmune disorder, in which the
hair follicles are inflamed, so don't function normally; the new hair that comes
in is weak and more fine. Patches of hair loss may occur, and brows, eyelashes,
and body hair may be involved. If you have one of these disorders , you may notice
more hair than usual in your hairbrush or on your pillow or bathroom floor. Keep
in mind that the darker and thicker your hair is, the more noticeable it will be
against the shower floor or sink. I.e., you may think you're losing more hair than
you actually are.
Androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss) — the most common
hair loss disorder in women — typically involves higher levels of androgens (male
sex hormones). When androgens are excessive, or when receptors in the skin become
extra-sensitive to them, they can shorten the growth phase of the hair cycle and
shrink the hair follicles. The quality and thickness of head hair diminishes, and
a bald spot may show up. It almost always occurs at the crown and sides of the head,
and may also involve unusual hair growth on the face and other areas on the body;
acne and menstrual irregularities may also be present. The "pull test" in this case
is usually negative.
Why do certain hair follicles break their normal cycle and switch into a resting
or "off" position, whether temporarily or permanently? And why do some women experience
thinning hair on their heads but darker, thicker hair on other parts of their bodies?
Causes for hair loss are numerous and highly individual, but can include any combination
of the following:
If you're currently or have recently been under severe stress, providing your body
with a little extra support through nutritional supplements and TLC can help normalize
your hair cycle and boost hair growth. For this reason, we always tell women who
report surprising hair loss to follow our Nutritional and Lifestyle Guidelines for
three to six months, including hair–specific vitamins and supplements. But you can
also ask your healthcare practitioner to review your symptoms and health concerns
carefully before proceeding to more intrusive diagnostic or treatment methods.
Most mild-to-moderate hair loss will often improve with some basic stress reduction
and positive lifestyle changes, including nutritional. Hair loss that is more dramatic
or persistent warrants a closer look. Here are the tests I'd recommend discussing
with your practitioner. Depending on your history, hair loss pattern, and other
possible symptoms, he or she can recommend the most appropriate tests from the following
It's important to understand that conventional doctors have a wide range of test
results that they consider "normal"; specifics vary by the type of test, but for
argument's sake, let's say it's 1–100. If your number falls near the edge of this
range but still within it (e.g., 2 or 99), you are still considered "normal," despite
the fact that health and disease are on the same continuum. So, look for test results
that fall near the midline. Anything well below or above this may is worth a second
Let's talk a little more about androgenetic alopecia, the most common cause
of hair loss in both men and women. Like your body's own version of Miracle-Gro,
androgens (testosterone and DHEA) in both men and women are naturally converted
into another androgen called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Problems arise when DHT
production speeds up or when the follicle's receptors become oversensitive to androgens
and shut down — like locking a door. This can happen when one or more of the following
three conditions prevail: a genetic proclivity, abnormally high levels of free testosterone,
or a change in sensitivity to normal levels of circulating androgens.
Hormonal imbalance due to PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) or perimenopause is
the primary cause of male pattern baldness in women. Because so many women with
PCOS have high levels of circulating androgens and are also insulin-resistant, a
growing number of practitioners are looking at the connection between insulin resistance,
testosterone, and hair loss. It's possible that receptor resistance to insulin and
sensitivity to androgens go hand in hand. One Finnish study of women in their 60s
showed a strong correlation between insulin resistance and increased risk of hair
thinning, particularly when a subject had a paternal history of hair loss. Some
women carry a genetic predisposition to female pattern hair loss, but the process
occurs to some degree in every woman as she ages and estrogen levels fall. Decreasing
estrogen levels may allow the body to convert more available testosterone to DHT.
The good news is that many cases of female pattern hair loss resolve or limit themselves
once hormonal (estrogens, androgens) and metabolic (glucose, insulin) balance have
been restored.
New testosterone–blocking drugs like flutamide and finasteride have been only minimally
effective in reversing hair loss in women and should not be taken by women of childbearing
age — they are generally only appropriate for men and could even exacerbate hormonal
disorders in women.[Shapiro '07]
Keep in mind, these drugs only take aim at the surface of the problem; they can't
rebalance the body from the inside-out like a more natural approach can.
If hair loss worsens over time, or if hair falls out in big clumps, creating patchy,
bald spots all over the head, it may indicate a more serious autoimmune condition
called alopecia areata, mentioned above, or an infection-induced alopecia
called cicatricial alopecia, in which scarring destroys the hair follicle.
In the case of alopecia areata, it's not uncommon to also have at least one other
autoimmune disorder.
These hair concerns go beyond the scope of this article and are definitively diagnosed
by a punch biopsy, in which a minute section of the scalp is removed and tested.
As of this point, there is no cure for alopecia areata, only topical solutions and
injectable steroids. But we believe our holistic approach can help balance immune
function and stem further progression of hair loss.
Occasionally an overgrowth of fungus or yeast can trigger severe follicular inflammation
that results in hair loss. This can be diagnosed by a dermatologist after a thorough
scalp examination. Treatments vary depending on the practitioner, but usually involve
some kind of topical anti-fungal shampoo or solution.
New inroads into hair transplants, laser stimulation, and topical products are a
great reason not to despair if you've been diagnosed with alopecia areata or another
troublesome scalp condition. A new type of minimally-invasive hair transplant procedure
called follicular unit extraction (FUE), or "NeoGraft" is offering promising
results, though it is costly and not yet widely available. You may not have the
head of hair you were born with, but some of these developments may provide the
next best thing.
Conventional topical solutions for hair loss, like Rogaine (minoxidil) enhance and
thicken existing hair — they do not generate new growth. They also must be used
continuously, or hair loss will resume.[Shapiro '07] These products may be useful
for some women who can deal with a small bald spot or expanding part line by changing
their hairstyle, but they do nothing to restore natural hormonal balance or metabolic
function — the factors that are causing the excessive hair loss in the first place.
If your hair loss is mild to moderate, the most important thing to do is weigh the
immediate or recent stressors in your life against how much support you're giving
your body. Start with an honest inventory of your healthy and not-so-healthy habits.
Then take some steps toward shifting the balance to the support side. Here's what
we recommend:
If you've tried these measures first on your own, but seen no improvement after
six months (it will take time to notice changes), talk to your healthcare practitioner.
He or she may recommend undergoing some or all of the tests outlined above. If you're
told that the results are normal, ask to see the results and where they fall within
the reference range. If close to the abnormal range, discuss supplements or treatment
targeted toward hair growth with your practitioner.
Remember that the condition of your hair mirrors what's going on inside your body.
It only makes sense to consider natural options that nurture your whole health
before spending a lot of money on expensive shampoos, conditioners, and hair-thickening
products. While some of these products may enhance the appearance of your existing
hair, they don't generate new hair. Nurturing your health from the inside out, including
your emotional health, should improve the quality and quantity of your hair, as
well as your overall quality of life!

The war on unlawful mix was steamed up and Nacada board was additionally summoned by Nkaissery to examine defilement assertions that were disabling it as said by Jaguar.
Enough of that, last Saturday Jaguar held the DP's hand as he took him for a voyage through Nairobi's casual settlements.

Penny stock trading is considered safer than the high price share trading. Penny stocks offer easier options for people trying to learn the art of trading.

Legendary screen star Lauren Bacall has passed away at age 89 in her Manhattan home on August 12, 2014. A former model, Bacall made her film debut opposite Humphrey Bogart in Howard Hawk's To Have and Have Not (1944) and became an overnight star. The 19-year-old actress, born Betty Joan Perske, wed the 44-year-old Bogart the following year. The pair had two children and remained married until Bogart's death in 1957.
Known for her sultry look and husky voice, Lauren Bacall made three more films with Bogart (The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, & Key Largo) later going on to prove herself adept at both dramatic and comedy roles. In 1970 she made her Broadway singing debut and won a Tony Award for Applause, a musical adaptation of All About Eve. More than a decade later she won another Tony Award for starring in the Broadway musical, Woman of the Year, another musical based on a movie (the 1942 Tracy-Hepburn film of the same name).
Over the years, Bacall continued to work in both stage and screen, occasionally lending her distinctive voice to commercials and animated films.
In 1996 she received an Academy Award nomination for the Barbra Streisand vehicle, The Mirror Has to Faces, but finally won the award when the Academy granted her an Honorary Oscar in 2009.
Bacall was married to actor, Jason Robards, Jr. from 1961 to 1969, with whom she had one son.
Over the course of her career she worked with such luminaries as Marilyn Monroe, Rock Hudson, Kirk Douglas, Gregory Peck, James, Caan, and John Wayne. Her last film was The Forger (2002). She'll be remembered as one of the last of the Great Icons of the Silver Screen.

Telephone-based CBT
Project: Talking therapies for patients with chronic widespread pain
What are we trying to do?
We're implementing and evaluating the use of individually tailored programmes of talking therapies for patients with chronic widespread pain (CWP).
This 12 month project, supported by NHS Salford Clinical Commissioning Group's (CCG) research and innovation fund aims to improve patient care for people in Salford who experience CWP.
We aim to harness the opportunity for service innovation by evaluating the implementation of a flexible pain pathway offering stepped care (using both high and low intensity interventions), including evidence-based, telephone-delivered talking therapy. This will be delivered by specially trained Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs) from the Salford Six Degrees Improved Access to Psychological Therapy (IAPT) service, taking account of patient preferences and ensuring that patients receive the most appropriate option(s) for treatment.
Why is it important?
CWP is a major public health problem as it affects between 11 and 13% of the population. It is largely referred to as pain that persists for more than three months. We also know that CWP is associated with lost work productivity, mental ill health, reduced quality of life and high healthcare costs.
Previous research conducted under controlled conditions by the Universities of Aberdeen and Manchester has shown that a short course of telephone-administered cognitive behavioural therapy (8 sessions with a total therapist time of 4.5 hours) resulted in improvements which were sustained over 24 months in patients experiencing CWP. It is highly cost-effective and has the potential to facilitate faster access to talking therapies for patients with CWP. However, this approach has not yet been implemented into routine practice.
Telephone-delivered talking therapy is convenient and offers the potential of making the therapy available to a much wider range of patients.
Who are we working with?
NHS Salford CCG
Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust
Six Degrees.
How can you refer to the service?
Referrals of Salford residents are being accepted from:
- GPs
- Pain and fibromyalgia clinics at Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust
- Musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy services
- IAPT services.
Referral forms should be marked: CWP/fibromyalgia and sent via nhs.net email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the Chicago Blackhawks, or any NHL team, the Presidents' Trophy is a meaningless piece of hardware. In hockey, the Stanley Cup tournament of elimination is what truly matters.
For whatever reason, the Stanley Cup playoffs lends itself to #8 seeds commonly upsetting #1. We've never had a #16 seed beat a #1 seed in March Madness, the national college basketball single elimination extravaganza.
Yet in hockey, in a best-of-seven, it happens all the time. The chances are much lower in a best of seven than a one-and-done. Yet, the odds are defied repeatedly on the ice.
In early April, I asked Susannah Collins why this is:
"As far as lower seeded teams beating higher seeds, I think it's the nature of the game. If you work that hard all season to secure a number 1 or 2 seed, sometimes there's an emotional let down afterward. And the lower seeds are hungry to prove they belong in the playoffs," she responded.
Now that the #1 seed Blackhawks must win twice to avoid elimination (yes, I know it's not at the hands of an #8 seed, but it's still an upset), I feel a lot of ambivalence about that. I'm trying to compartmentalize the hockey from the corporate suits maniacally micro-managing it. I may sound a bit histrionic, but hey, this is the playoffs.
On one hand, it's my team. I am a Chicagoan. So getting bounced early from the playoffs makes me rather sad. And failing to meet expectations pours salt into the wound. Throw in the fact that it's the Detroit Red Wings who will likely be doing the dismissing, and you see where I'm going with this.
On the other hand, the Blackhawks have grossly mistreated so many members of the local media over in recent years. The persecuted includes both myself and Susannah Collins. And lots of other friends who work within the local sports media. Perhaps they feel the same conflict about the Blackhawks? A similar ambivalence?
Yes, it's OUR TEAM.
However, it's also a soul-less, heartless corporation that cares only about profits, not people. If Sears intentionally sold you defective tires would you root for them to beat earnings-per-share expectations? If Cisco Systems messed up your internet service would you hope they consistently "beat the street?"
I'm neither happy nor depressed about the Blackhawks potential elimination tonight. Or possibly in game 7. I am simply conflicted. Usually, whenever one of my teams gets eliminated from the postseason and/or a sports figure I care about gets fired/traded away I play a sad, depressing break-up song. A power ballad of loss with lyrics expressing my melancholia.
But loss isn't what I feel about the NHL postseason dismissing the Blackhawks. It's not the kind of break-up where you're entirely sad to see her leave. It's the kind of break-up where you're a little bit sad; but you're also relieved at the same time. Because you knew this relationship will just never work. She's too incompatible with you. It's kind of like the relationship George W. Bush had with Osama Bin Laden. Very adversarial; yet very co-dependent.
Chicago Blackhawks, I can't live with you. Or without you.

We stayed for one night for a stop over on our way to San Francisco. The room was comfortable and clean and the location is great, right off the highway and right by a Safeway for some quick groceries. It was a bit noisy due to the nearby traffic earlier in the evening but once we fell asleep we didn't notice. It was nothing fancy, but definitely all that we needed and would recommend this hotel.

Argentina: Opportunity Lost?
On the surface, it would appear Argentina offers plenty of potential for investors. The second-largest South American economy behind Brazil is also home to, by some estimates, the third-largest shale gas reserves in the world. Gross domestic product there grew at an average rate of 7.1% per year from 2003 to 2011.
Those statistics might be enough to send unknowing investors into Argentine stocks or the Global X FTSE Argentina 20 ETF (NYSE: ARGT), the lone ETF tracking Argentina. Argentina, is designated index provider MSCI (NYSE: MSCI) as a frontier market, a label which implies a higher degree of risk relative to emerging markets.
As is the case with so many emerging markets, Argentina has a dark side. That dark side, which has punished the Global X FTSE Argentina 20 ETF, cannot be ignored. The country's problems literally come from the top, meaning President Cristina Fernandez's policies present major risks to investors and significant hurdles to her country's economy.
That much was highlighted earlier this year when the Argentine government moved to nationalize energy firm YPF S.A. (NYSE: YPF), a move that pummeled ARGT and led to elevated yields on Argentine debt as well as a surge in the prices of credit default swaps to insure that debt against default.
Now, Argentina's economy is faltering due in large part to government policies thar are viewed as unpredictable and inhospitable to foreign investment. Analysts predict Argentina's economy will grow 2.5 percent to 3 percent this year, according to the Associated Press. That comes after first-quarter GDP growth of 5.2 percent.
More alarming is the fact that the central bank is forecasting growth of 6 percent and the government's budget said 5.1 percent growth is to be expected. The potential discrepancy between government estimates and reality would only lend fuel to the argument that the Hernandez administration is less than trustworthy.
"Argentina is a basket case and is in need of substantial economic, political and social reform," said Colombia-based independent analyst Caiman Valores.
That perception is now reality and it could spell bad news for Argentina's economy in the future. Some of the largest oil companies in the world, including Chevron (NYSE: CVX), have done business in Argentina. However, the nationalization of YPF can be interpreted by U.S. and European energy firms as a hostile act and one that says the government does not want Western investment.
Argentina is also rich in mineral resources and while the country's mining industry is less regulated than its oil business, there is still an export tax of 10% levied on Argentine mineral exports, again creating an additional cost for mining companies operating there, according to Valores.
"The political risk is extremely high and the overall country risk is extremely high," he said. Valores notes that on a one to 10 risk rating for investors, with 10 being most risky, he would give Argentina a nine.
The impact of Argentina's politics on ARGT has been palpable. When news of the YPF nationalization first broke, the ETF had $3.5 million in assets under management. That total had fallen to $2.8 million as of June 20.
The materials and energy sectors combine for almost 42 percent of ARGT's weight, making the fund vulnerable to any future efforts by Fernandez to further nationalize those sectors. Said another way, it is not surprising ARGT has plunged almost 27 percent in the past three months.
That performance belies the fact that ARGT is actually home to some decent and familiar stocks. Take Pan American Silver (NASDAQ: PAAS), Silver Standard Resources (NASDAQ: SSRI) and Yamana Gold (NYSE: AUY). That trio combines for 12 percent of ARGT's weight. In the past month, Yamana is the worst performer with a gain of 17 percent. Over the same time, ARGT is up just 2.3 percent, further proof this ETF is being hamstrung by Argentina's unfavorable regulatory climate.
The bad news does not end there. In its annual market reclassification unveiled on Wednesday, MSCI noted Argentina could be removed from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index.
"MSCI continues to monitor closely the situation in Argentina following the nationalization of YPF through the "expropriation" of a 51% stake from the Spanish company Repsol by the Argentinean government," the index provider said in a statement. "Any further such government intervention in the "free‐market" economic system may force MSCI to launch a public consultation with the investment community on a potential exclusion of the MSCI Argentina Index from the MSCI Frontier Markets Index."
ARGT does not track the MSCI Argentina Index, but the loss of that index' frontier markets status could bring about more black clouds for the ETF.
There are glimmers of hope, though. At less than $8, investors with a high tolerance for risk can treat ARGT as a no-expiration call option on a dramatic improvement in Argentina's political climate sometime in the future.
"There are high-potential investment opportunities for speculative and canny investors," Valores said. "Especially those that are willing to ride the boom/bust cycle the Argentine economy operates in."

Bon Aurum took advantage of an outstanding Kerrin McEvoy ride to record a maiden Group 1 victory in the 2016 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield this afternoon.
Bon Aurum is a horse that produces his best form when he receives galloper room and McEvoy managed to get him into a lovely rhythm three wide, while Xtravagant took up the running.
McEvoy followed Counterattack into the race and he hit the front at the 200 metre mark before he held-off Voodoo Lad and Fast 'N' Rocking in the final stages.
The leading hoop rode Bon Aurum to his previous biggest win in the Group 3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m) a year ago and he was thrilled to be able to reunite with the son of Bon Hoffa in the Group 1 event.
"It is a good thrill to be back in Melbourne on the big days and winning," McEvoy said.
"He is a horse that I have had a little bit to do with and it is good to be back on him.
"Ciaron has done a good job with him, he has grown up a bit and he has furnished a bit more.
"He was always going to be a nice four-year-old and he has shown that all prep.
"We had a nice run with some cover behind Counterattack and he was full of running when I asked him.
"It is a good buzz to win another one."
Maher was quick to pay credit to the ride of McEvoy and also to the rest of his team that had put so much work into Bon Aurum ahead of the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes.
The rising trainer confirmed that Bon Aurum will have his next race start in the Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m) at Caulfield on October 8 and he believes that he could not have the four-year-old in better form.
"It was a good ride from Macca," Maher said.
"He got him in that three wide line where he likes to be and really brought him on.
"We thought we would kick him off back in a ratings race and if he made the necessary steps we could always lift the bar.
"I'm in two minds whether he runs a strong mile, but I think this is probably the best vain of form that he has been in and he is still on the way up.
"It is a good time to test it out."
Xtravangant knocked up late after leading early in what was another disappointing performance, while Counterattack failed to finish off after being set a tough task by Craig Williams.

For those rare Hebrew Israelites who actually found a way to reject hate from their hearts and seek to be a part of the Jewish people....
There are many people who will seek to derail your efforts. The latest that I've seen are Black folks who claim to be "rabbinical Jews" and somehow they have access to Torah books, and they lure awakened Hebrew Israelites and other black folks to their version of "rabbinical Judaism." Something that has no relationship with the actual Jewish people what so ever. No conversion necessary. I guess these are some new offshoot branch, just like messianic, commandment keepers or well, Hebrew Israelite.
Just a warning.

The European Central Bank will this week unveil details of its plans to inject cash into the moribund eurozone economy, even as analysts express doubt about the effectiveness of the measures.
Following its surprise rate cut last month, the ECB is not expected to announce any new policy moves at its regular monthly meeting on Thursday, held this time in the Italian city of Naples instead of its usual home venue in Frankfurt.
But financial markets are hoping that ECB president Mario Draghi will provide more details about the bank's contested liquidity programmes, notably its plans to buy asset-backed securities as a way of kick-starting lending in the 18 countries that share the euro.
And some ECB watchers will be listening out for any hints that the bank may embark on a much wider programme of so-called quantitative easing (QE) or the purchase of unlimited amounts of bonds, a policy already practised by other central banks such as the US Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.
At its meeting last month, the ECB surprised the markets by cutting its key interest rates to new all-time lows and unveiling an ABS programme and a covered bond programme to ward off deflation in the single currency area.
And Draghi also appeared to hint at quantitative easing by saying the ECB would use "additional unconventional instruments within its mandate".
Asset-backed securities (ABS) are bundles of individual loans such as mortgages, auto credit and credit-card debt that are sold on to investors, allowing banks to share the risk of default and freeing up funds to offer more credit.
- Reservations about ABS -
The ECB believes that the market for such securities -- an important source of financing for banks to keep lending to small and medium-sized enterprises -- has effectively dried up since the financial crisis.
And the ECB hopes that by buying them on a large scale, it can help revive the market and free up some of the credit channels which have seized up during the long years of crisis.
The problem is that it was precisely complex financial derivatives such as ABS which are seen as the the root of the sub-prime crisis in the US in 2008, leading many observers, particularly in Germany, to harbour deep reservations about them.
Analysts are also unconvinced that the ABS programme would be big enough to solve the problem of stymied credit.
"ABS backed by loans to small and medium-sized enterprises are desirable, but unfortunately not available on any meaningful scale," said Willem Buiter of Citigroup.
- Disappointing uptake of loans -
Another of its liquidity measures, the so-called Targeted Long-Term Refinancing Operation (TLTRO) under which the ECB made ultra-cheap loans available to banks in the hope that they would lend it on to businesses, disappointed market expectations.
The ECB said it lent 82.6 billion euros ($105 billion) to 255 banks as it began the programme, below analysts' forecasts for an uptake of at least 100 billion euros.
Draghi insisted that the uptake was within the ECB's forecast range.
But Commerzbank economist Michael Schubert believed that "the volume of the TLTROs and the ABS/Covered Bond programme will not meet the ECB's expectations."
And that meant the ECB "will have to take action again: in the longer term –- presumably from the first half of 2015 –- the ECB is likely to buy government bonds on a broad front," Schubert said.
Jennifer McKeown at Capital Economics agreed.
"All of this suggests that the ECB will soon take the plunge into full-blown quantitative easing," she said.
"But while QE now seems close to a done deal, we doubt that it will be announced in October. We still think that the bank's December meeting is the most likely timing," the expert said.
Deutsche Bank economist Mark Will said it was "more likely than not that the ECB will announce 'broad-based asset purchases', including public QE -- or purchases of government bonds -- within the next six months."

* Tsann Kuen says Zhangzhou govt studying how to support local subsidiaries
* B-shares no longer only way foreigners to buy shares in Chinese firms
* Local governments have stepped in to support several companies
By Pete Sweeney
SHANGHAI, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Tsann Kuen (China) Enterprise Co Ltd, the first company at risk of ejection from China's troubled B-share board after regulators tightened delisting rules, said on Tuesday that a local government is considering steps to support one of its main subsidiaries.
Tsann Kuen, a small household electronics manufacturer based in Xiamen in the southeast province of Fujian, caused a panic in China's B-share market late last month when it announced it was at risk of being forcibly delisted for failing to meet a new 1 yuan "par value" standard for B-share prices.
In a statement published on the Shenzhen stock exchange's website on Tuesday, Tsann Kuen said the local government in Fujian's Zhangzhou city has established a working group to study how to support the company's operations in the city, given the impact a delisting by the parent would potentially have on the local economy.
"The local government hopes it can provide appropriate help and support to Zhangzhou Tsann Kuen at the right time."
The company suspended trading in its shares on August 2 after spending 18 days trading below par, two days before the delisting rule would have automatically kicked in.
B shares are shares in Chinese companies denominated in U.S. or Hong Kong dollars which can be bought and sold by both Chinese citizens and foreigners. Once the only way foreigners could buy shares in Chinese companies, the market for B shares has since been rendered largely irrelevant by reforms allowing Chinese companies to list abroad.
The Zhangzhou government's public relations office did not answer calls from Reuters to confirm that it was considering ways to help. But if that help is forthcoming it would be postive for the parent company's prospects, according to Cao Xuefeng, analyst at Huaxi Securities in Chengdu.
"If a local government supports a subsidiary's development, that indicates positive prospects for the company as a whole."
In addition to its headquarters in Xiamen, Tsann Kuen has eight subsidiaries in China, but the three entities in the city of Zhangzhou make up the bulk of the company's assets.
Tsann Kuenn's shareholdings in Zhangzhou have a total value of 124 million yuan, representing 75 percent of the value of the parent's total subsidiary shares.
Local governments in China have a track record of moving in to keep favored local employers out of trouble.
For example, a technically insolvent textile company Shandong Helon was saved from default on 400 million yuan in commercial paper by a last minute bailout from the local government of Weifang city.
Similarly, the government of Xinyu city, in Jiangxi province, announced it would use taxpayer funds to repay the loans of LDK Solar, a U.S.-listed solar equipment manufacturer.
However, the Tsann Kuen case is slightly different in that analysts say the company could avoid delisting without any bailout by executing a reverse stock split that would push its share value back above the regulatory minimum.
In addition, while the company admitted to posting a loss in the first half of the 2012 in the statement, the delisting threat is unrelated to its financial condition and the company is not facing imminent bankruptcy.
Cao of Huaxi Securities said Tsann Kuen managers were likely to be considering whether it is worth maintaining their B share ticker at all.
"I don't think staying on the B-share board does much for their interests. It's not as good as delisting from the B shares and relisting on the A-share market." (Editing by Simon Cameron-Moore)

Itch in urethra, became a sharp pain when touched
Patient : I have a sharp pain in my urethra that appeared over the course of two weeks. What are possible causes? STD is unlikely as I last had sex, unprotected, about a month before any symptoms appeared. The symptoms started as an itch when I peed, became a burn, and now the sharp pain when it is touched, pulled, or whatever. It is no longer uncomftorable to pee, except for a slight itchy feeling afterwards that, when touched, brings about the sharp pain. So its an itch in my urethra that provides a very sharp pain when itched, touched, pulled, squeezed, etc. Naturally this makes any sexual activity painful.
Symptoms: Burning, itching, sharp pain in urethra for about 2 weeks.

Imagine: the roads to your neighborhood are blocked by armed guards. You cannot leave without risking being shot. You have neighborhood stores, neighborhood meetings, and for a while, things go along in a scary way, and you get to the point where it seems almost normal. But people do disappear, a few at a time.
Every morning you follow your Dad into the rope factory where he and all the other men have been told to work. When your mother doesn't come back home from visiting another walled off neighborhood, you don't ask too many questions. She may come home, but she probably won't. It's better not to ask.

Desktop Wallpaper from Frankie
Reading Black Eiffel today I saw Frankie Magazine, which is a whole lot like Nylon but exists in the Australia. They have a whole section for pretty computer wallpapers which I always think are fun. I find myself switching in and out of wallpaper for my screen quite a bit with my mood.
Ps: thanks for all the good luck on the test!! I needed it badly. I will know by next week how I did.

So how has Sony handled this issue? The manufacturer has suggested that if your Xperia Z5 won't open the Google Play Store following the update to Android 6.0, a factory reset might do the trick. And while it has solved the problem for some, there are still many Xperia Z5 users that still can't access the Play Store even following a factory reset.
Based on responses to the Sony support forum, the best way to fix the problem is to sync your Xperia Z5 to the PC on your desktop, and head to PC Companion (http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion). There, you will be able to re-install Android 6.0. This time however, you won't lose the ability to open up the Google Play Store.
Let us know if this did the trick by dropping your comment into the box below.
The Android 6.0 update is preventing the Google Play Store from opening on some Sony Xperia Z5 units

Objective: Coronary artery bypass grafting using arterial conduits may improve survival and minimise harvest site complications. However, in diabetes, the outcomes of coronary artery bypass grafting performed exclusively using arterial conduits are uncertain. We reviewed our experience with this approach. Methods: From 1996 to 2008, 400 patients with diabetes (managed with oral hypoglycaemics, insulin or both) underwent primary isolated coronary artery bypass grafting for triple vessel coronary disease. In 246 (61.5%), total arterial revascularisation was achieved using single or bilateral internal thoracic arteries supplemented by one or more radial arteries (arterial group), while in the remaining 154 (38.5%), at least one venous conduit was used (mixed conduits group: mean 1.5 veins per patient). Propensity-score matching was used to adjust for bias. Results: Total arterial revascularisation patients were more likely to be younger (arterial: 63 ± 10 years vs mixed: 67 ± 10 years, P < 0.0001), of elective priority (85% vs 75%, P = 0.018) and less likely to have moderate-severe left ventricular dysfunction (23% vs 36%, P = 0.024). Use of bilateral internal thoracic arteries was similar between groups (16% vs 11%, P = 0.19). There was a comparable in-hospital mortality (1.9% vs 2.0%, P > 0.99) and major morbidities, except the arterial group who experienced less stroke (0.4% vs 3.2% vs P = 0.04) and harvest site infections (0.4% vs 4%, P = 0.016). Mean follow was 7.8 ± 3.7 years. Estimated survival at 12-year survival in the arterial group was 80% ± 3.2% vs 54% ± 5.5% (P < 0.0001). Subsequently, 103 propensity-score-matched patient pairs were created between the two groups. After matching, in-hospital mortality (1% vs 2%, P > 0.99) and major morbidities were similar, as was an estimated 12-year survival (69% ± 6.1% vs 59% ± 6.5%, P > 0.99). Conclusions: The use of veins to supplement arterial conduits did not deleteriously affect survival. However, the significant number of patients receiving arterial grafts in both groups may have masked any potential difference. Greater numbers and longer follow-up will reveal the potential of this approach. © 2012 Royal Australasian College of Physicians.

Rubbermaid is known best as a food storage company but you already knew that. Something you might not know is that they have a line of products that make it extremely easy to keep track of your lids. Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Food Storage Containers' lids are not only designed to fit the bottom of the containers but also still fit when you stack the containers. Also the lids snap onto one another, and you can life the whole stack together!
I was recently
asked begged to make my famous cookies for my class at college and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to give the containers a test. To be honest I was rather shocked 2 dozen cookies easily fit the container
Now because most times that you take a container anywhere, the lid inevitably gets lost, I fully prepared for having to search for the lid and give up but then I remembered the lid sort of "snaps" to the bottom. That meant the lid wouldn't have to be set aside and when class was over and the bowl was empty (they are amazing cookies, what can I say?) all I had to do was pull the lid from the bottom, snap it back on and tuck it in my bag.
But the real star in this is that you can stack the lids on each other and under the containers in the cabinet, which for most people is a nightmare because they will lose them. Not so with this product. In my life I don't like wasting time looking for lids so I give up and go without them, but no more. This product is time and space saving and that means it is a good product for me to recommend to my fellow readers who like to save time too!
You can get the 24 piece set for a very very affordable price of only $10.99! Get yours here!
Disclosure: As a Rubbermaid Ambassador I am being compensated for my time and articles but opinions are all my own.

Eighteen years since my last dream, I had another.
The night before a trip home to Baton Rouge for a quick parental visit en route to a much needed camping trip, sleep came hard. Hours passed before I fell into a restless unconsciousness that was for the whole night too hot, too cold, too noisy or too quiet. I tossed, I turned, opened my windows, and moved the dog about six times, but nothing helped. After four hours, twelve minutes and forty-two seconds of that, I got up and poured myself a cup of coffee, an old family remedy for "the wakes", what my gramma called insomnia.
About halfway through the cup, my mind started to race. A dull ache grew up the front of my face and spread across my forehead.
"Oh, seriously? When's the last time I had one of these? Ugh." Pushing my thumb into one temple and my index finger into the other, I squeezed, trying to calm the pounding, throbbing, jaw-clenching agony. And then, just as I started to steel myself for the hell that was certainly coming, it cleared.

UPDATE: TYLER (KYTX) - Tyler Police have issued an arrest warrant for 34-year-old Adam Heath Bowers for the aggravated robbery of a Family Dollar Store on January 13, 2014.
Bowers is also one of three suspects in the armed robbery of a Lindale Walmart on Monday.
Lindale Police said Tuesday that all three suspects in Monday's armed robbery at Walmart had been identified based on feedback from publicly released security camera photos.
Lindale Police Sergeant Chad McElyea said the two men and one woman were inside Walmart around 5:00am and proceeded to wander the store for a while before heading to the electronics section and attempting to steal computers and other electronic items.
McElyea said the group attempted to flee through a rear door near that part of the store and inadvertently tripped an alarm, startling them and alerting an employee.
When that employee tried to stop the alleged thieves, McElyea said one of the men pulled a gun on the employee before the group continued its escape. They left in a late 1980s pickup.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Tyler Police Department at (903) 531-1000.
If you have information that leads to the arrest of this or any felony suspect and you call Crimestoppers you could receive a reward of up to $1000.00. Call Tyler-Smith County at 903-597-CUFF (2833).

Need for Speed should have sucked…
First, it's based on a popular video game, and most such films are little more than cynically-marketed products aimed at undemanding teenage boys.
Second, this film obviously wouldn't exist if not for the inexplicable popularity of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Every promotional trailer and poster, from the car-porn action down to the 'speedy' font of the title, were blatant attempts to appeal to the F&F crowd. And if you're gonna rip-off another franchise, why not boost your chances for success by using a brand name everyone under the age of twenty is already familiar with?
Third, the story, involving a young hot-shot mechanic speeding cross-country in a rare Shelby Mustang - with cops on his tail - to participate in an illegal road race while avenging the death of a buddy at the hands of a racing rival, is ridiculous to the extreme. An epic suspension of disbelief - from the anti-gravity auto-stunts to the near-absence of police during the cross-country run - is required from even the most forgiving viewer. In addition, there isn't a single plot turn you won't see coming from a mile away.
Fourth, the characters are as shallow as a puddle, mostly conceived to look cool or sexy and speak in eye-rolling clichés.
But ironically, despite everything working against it, Need for Speed doesn't suck. It ain't The Godfather, but it is a lot of disreputable fun, the kind of movie you'll feel silly admitting you enjoyed.
Aaron Paul - he of Breaking Bad fame (who ominously resembles the drummer for Metallica) - may not be traditional leading man material, but despite his one-dimensional character (and some chuckleworthy attempts at intensity) we kinda like him. Dominic Cooper brings more chutzpah to his villainous role as Dino than he probably needed to. Sure, he's essentially a cartoon, but a lot of fun to root against.
This is also a true cargasm movie. The vehicles are all sexy as hell (you might even find yourself saddened by one car's demise). The chases and stunts may border on fantasy at times, but none of it is CGI (which you can't say about the Fast & Furious franchise). What you see was accomplished with real cars driven by real stunt people (and sometimes the actors themselves). Most importantly, despite a surprising 130 minute running time, Need for Speed is tightly-paced enough to justify its length. Sure, there are a few scenes of obligatory exposition or lame attempts at characterization, but for the most part, Need for Speed lives up to its title to deliver a fast ride.
And in one shamelessly amusing scene, even though it has almost nothing to do with the plot, the movie features the ultimate way to quit a job.
Is Need for Speed a great film? Not by a longshot. But maybe because my expectations were low to begin with, I found this a lot more fun than any movie in the Fast and Furious franchise. As someone who has never played a single game in the long-running video game series, I can't tell you if it's faithful or not to its source material. What I can say is, despite having to apologize to my brain afterwards, Need for Speed gave me a good time.

Mark Twain Quotes About TalentQuotes about: Talent
A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. There is nothing more satisfying than that sense of being completely "at home" in your own skin. When you achieve that as a natural state of "being", then you can finally look beyond yourself and fully contribute all your talents to the world.
We are always more anxious to be distinguished for a talent which we do not possess, than to be praised for the fifteen which we do possess. Sometimes we are too close to the scene, to see clearly. We "know" ourselves so well that we cannot see how we are perceived by others. Our opinion of ourselves is only "one" opinion and it may not be the truth.
I never could do anything with figures, never had any talent for mathematics, never accomplished anything in my efforts at that rugged study, and to-day the only mathematics I know is multiplication, and the minute I get away up in that, as soon as I reach nine times seven- [He lapsed into deep thought, trying to figure nine times seven. Mr. McKelway whispered the answer to him.] I've got it now. It's eighty-four. Well, I can get that far all right with a little hesitation. After that I am uncertain, and I can't manage a statistic.
