Local author's bucket runneth over
MICHAEL A. HEERY/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS Lehighton Area Middle School teacher Sherry L. Hoffman has written and published a book about "bucket filling." Entitled "A to Z Character Education for the Classroom," the book presents bucket filling activities for children, teachers, and parents. Pictured at a recent book-signing event are, from left, Hoffman; her daughter, Jocelyn; and her husband, Jared.
Her passion for reading and writing partnered with a sincere goal to make a difference in the world by teaching about empathy and kindness inspired Lehighton Area Middle School teacher Sherry L. Hoffman to write a book about something called "bucket filling."
The title of Hoffman's labor of love is "A to Z Character Education for the Classroom."
Hoffman first learned about bucket filling in 2011 when her daughter was a kindergarten student at Franklin Elementary School.
As they were walking down their driveway one day after school, Hoffman asked her daughter, "How was your day?"
"Good," she responded.
"What did you learn today?"
Her daughter said, "I learned about buckets."
Intrigued, Hoffman questioned further, "OK … What did you learn about buckets?"
"Well, our principal came into our classroom and read a story about buckets," replied her daughter. "She said that everyone has a bucket. If you do something nice for someone, you fill that person's bucket and your own. If you aren't nice, you dip into that person's bucket and your own."
That one conversation changed Hoffman's life forever.
"I thought it was an amazing concept for any age group," said Hoffman.
So, she began investigating bucket filling and found several books about it online, including Carol McCloud's "Have You Filled a Bucket Today?: A Guide to Daily Happiness for Kids."
Inspired by the idea of bucket filling, Hoffman began writing poems for her own three children, as well as for her students at LAMS. She sent her poems to McCloud, who responded that Hoffman might have a book of bucket filling poems that she may want to publish.
"I loved that she believed in me," said Hoffman. "I took it as a challenge to create my own book of poems, but I also decided to be like Chef Emeril Lagasse and 'kick it up a few notches.'"
Hoffman continued writing poems; organized them from A to Z; added three worksheet-type activities for each poem that tied into reading standards; and included extended activities for teachers, students, and parents.
"As I began to write, I included life lessons I wanted to pass on to my children and students," said Hoffman. "It is my hope that my book helps to make a difference in the world by teaching literacy skills along with life lessons."
She added, "It's amazing how far a compliment can go if you believe in yourself as well."
Hoffman began working on her book in March 2011, writing in the morning, at night, and whenever else she had a spare moment or two. With her manuscript finished, Hoffman contacted her publisher in May 2012. The publishing process began in July 2012. She signed off on her book in April of this year and her book was printed and delivered to her home in May.
According to Hoffman, "It was a very exciting moment for me to see that big FedEx Freight truck driving up my street. It represented the point when my dream became a reality. To hold the finished book in my hand for the first time and see my own family reading the book and enjoying the activities made all the hard work worth it."
"I have always loved to read and write and I consider myself lucky for having a literacy-enriched environment growing up," said Hoffman.
To illustrate that point, Hoffman shared a story about when she was 10 years old. She and her friends created, wrote, and published their own neighborhood newspaper "The Whippoorwill Lake Newspaper." It was named after Hoffman's grandparents' campground that was located across the street from her house in Franklin Township.
Using a typewriter, they set up shop in the tent camper in the family's backyard.
"We sold our newspaper for 10 cents and delivered it via our bikes and sometimes by my friends' little red Radio Flyer wagon," Hoffman reminisced.
After their story was featured in TIMES NEWS, Hoffman and her friends were invited to visit and tour the TN building to learn all about the process of creating a newspaper.
"I remember that it was fascinating and thought maybe one day, I would like to be a writer or reporter, as well as being a teacher," recalled Hoffman.
A 1996 graduate of Lehighton Area High School, Hoffman earned a bachelor of science degree in elementary education from Kutztown University and a master of education degree from East Stroudsburg University.
Prior to her being hired as a full-time classroom teacher at LAMS in 2002, Hoffman worked at the family business in which she grew up R.F. Ohl Fuel Oil in Lehighton.
She has been a teacher at Lehighton Area Middle School for the past 11 years 10 years teaching science and reading.
Last year, Hoffman was hired as a reading specialist. She currently teaches reading to sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. In addition, she has served as co-advisor for the Sixth Sense Competition for the past 10 years.
Hoffman and her husband of 10 years, Jared, own All-Points Towing, Recovery, and Service Center in Jim Thorpe. The are the parents of three children: Megan, 8; Jocelyn, 5; and Sawyer, 4.
"I want my children to know that you can accomplish your goals if you put your mind to it," said Hoffman. "I love sharing my story with others."
In addition to her book, Hoffman recently wrote an article that was published in the Keystone State Reading Association (KSRA) newsletter "The Keystone Reader" entitled "Springing into Character Education." It featured the poem "Character" from her book.
She has also been invited to give an hourlong presentation at the KSRA Conference in State College on Sunday, Oct. 20.
Since the publication of her book, which was illustrated by Jacqueline L. Challiss-Hill, Hoffman has been involved in book-signing events throughout the area. Her book is also available through such distributors as Amazon and Barnes and Noble, to name a few.

"It is my hope that this book helps to make a positive impact in the world, teaching literacy skills along with life lessons," said Hoffman.

Reader Kelly Merritt sent us the following note recently:
"Most people write 'I am writing with regards to,' or 'in regards to,' and I have even been corrected when using 'in regard to' ... when everything I have read says that 'regard' and not 'regards' is the proper term. Which is the proper word?"Please also share with readers that 'irregardless' is not a word."
Problem: You say "regard," they say "regards."
Who's correct regarding this commonly botched phrase?
The word "regard" offers several variations: "regarding," "in regard to," "with regard to" and "as regards." All of those expressions are correct. The plural phrase "in regards to," however, is considered substandard English.
Of course, you have other options: "in respect to," "with respect to," "concerning" and "about."
"Irregardless" is a word that many people mistakenly believe to be proper English, when in fact it's used chiefly in casual writing. The word was coined in the United States in the early 20th century, probably from a blend of "irrespective" and "regardless."
Since people use "irregardless," it is a word. But, like "in regards to," it's considered substandard English.

When does being naturally sexy become your best attribute? Twenty-five-year-old honors student, River Roberts, knew her life had to change. With only forty dollars to her name, she was hungry, tired, and out of options. While seeking advice from her best friend Jade, she found something that could provide all she was looking for. Sexy, witty, charming and motivated, she met the requirements for The Dean's List, a university society that offered alumni anything they desired. It was the perfect job for her. But it came with a cost: secrets and loneliness.
After the death of his wife, enigmatic Jonathan Ferris lived in a world of acquisition and mergers, a world where he knew financial security, a world filled with desolating loneliness. That was until River Roberts. She was intelligent, beautiful, sensual, and when their lives collided, his world changed. But then there was reality: she wasn't truly his. In a world of commodities and trading, River and Jonathan must fight to preserve what their hearts desire. But will that be possible? Will their collision be temporary, or will they overcome the many obstacles in their way?

Audible Re-Read
Yes! I have recommended the Kindle version to many friends and now I am happy to be able to recommend the audio book too!
This story is completely original, I loved the basis of it and the character development. There were so many great surprises that happened through out the book that I kept guessing how it would all work out.
I recommend going on to book 2 in the series, Honor Roll, for a insight on Luca Gregorio.
I didn't want it to end!

I didn't think this subjective survey would be a big deal, but I've gotten a lot of mocking ridicule for listing Vince Young as my favorite NFL and college football player of All Time. I've been clowned via Facebook and text, mocked on the SportsRadio 610 employee e-mail thread and my friend, Paul Gallant, even made fun of me on the air during his show.
So I guess I have to explain myself…
The reason Vince is my favorite college and NFL player of all time is simple: I believe that when you embrace an athlete for something larger than what happens on the field you shouldn't bail on them when times get tough.
My parents met at the University of Texas, I was born in Austin and when my parents got divorced in sixth grade Texas Longhorn football was a bond between my father and me. We would take road trips to games, talked about it consistently and had amazing times during the resurgence of the University of Texas football program during the Mack Brown era.
Texas could never get over the hump early in the Mack Brown era and there were a lot of heartbreaking moments, many of them against Oklahoma, which I experienced with my father during our annual trips to The Red River Shootout in Dallas. When Vince arrived in Austin in 2002 he symbolized the guy that would get Texas football over the hump and that's just what he did on January 4, 2006 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, an experience I shared with my father.
I didn't have the grades to get into UT and ironically ended up graduating from Texas Tech, another school in UT's conference, but I always remained a UT football fan because of what it meant to me personally.
In January of 2006 my dad and I took a trip to California and shared the experience of watching Young's historic performance in UT's national championship win over USC, one of the best days of my sports life, and a defining, satisfying moment in the bond between me and my pops. That moment wouldn't have happened without Vince.
What happened during his NFL career is irrelevant to me because he symbolizes more to me than his on-field performance, that's why he's my favorite college and NFL player of All Time.
My love for Vince is the same reason why Josh Hamilton is one of my favorite baseball players of All Time. Like many people, I embraced Hamilton's story of addiction when he was one of the best players in baseball, but unlike many I didn't turn on him when he began to show the bad characteristics of an addict.
Why? Because when you embrace an athlete for more than their on-field performance you shouldn't bail on them when they struggle, especially when you're embracing them for something like addiction where highs and lows are expected. That's just awful.
Here is a piece of someone's Facebook status survey when listing their favorite MLB player of All Time: MLB – Josh Hamilton (pre relapse).
To each is own, but that's just bad character in my opinion. The fans who bought Hamilton's book, praised the adversity he overcame when he was at his highest and then turned on him when he showed the negative characteristics of an addict are the worst.

The Obama organization on Thursday declared its countering for Russian endeavors to meddle with the US presidential election, ordering sweeping new sanctions that incorporated the ejection of 35 Russians.
US intelligence services believe Russia ordered cyber-attacks on the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Hillary Clinton's campaign and other political organizations, in an attempt to influence the election for the Republican candidate, Donald Trump.
In a statement issued two weeks after the president said he would react to digital assaults by Moscow "at a time and place of our choosing," Obama said Americans ought to "be alarmed by Russia's actions" and promised additionally activity.
"I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners," Obama said in the announcement, discharged while he was traveling with his family in Hawaii.
"Using this new authority, I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU's cyber operations.
"also, the Secretary of the Treasury is designating two Russian individuals for using cyber-enabled means to cause misappropriation of funds and personally identifying information." He likewise declared the conclusion of two Russian mixes in the US.
Obama included that more moves would be made, "some of which will not be publicized".
On Thursday, Trump, who has already rejected reports of Russian obstruction in the race, said in an announcement: "It's time for our country to move on to bigger and better things."
He included, however, that "in the interest of our country and its great people, I will meet with leaders of the intelligence community next week to be updated on the facts of this situation."
In a conference call with reporters, senior White House authorities said the president-elect's move group was educated of the authorizations before they were reported on Thursday. Trump and Obama talked on Wednesday, they said.
The authorities included that the activities were an essential reaction to "very disturbing Russian threats to US national security".
"There has to be a cost and a consequence for what Russia has done," a senior administration official said. "It is an extraordinary step for them to interfere in the democratic process here in the United States of America. There needs to be a price for that."
In Moscow, a Putin representative said Russia lamented the new authorizes and would consider retaliatory measures.
Strategic removals are regularly met with precisely corresponding activity. In this case, however, Moscow may pause for thought. With Trump, who has spoken positively about Russia and Vladimir Putin, just three weeks away from the White House, Russia may feel it is inadvisable to kick out 35 US diplomats.
However, Russian powers on Thursday requested the Anglo-American School of Moscow shut, by, referring to a US official informed on the matter. The school serves offspring of US, British and Canadian international haven faculty, and would viably make a Russian posting troublesome for US ambassadors with families.
Konstantin Kosachyov, administrator of the universal undertakings council in the upper place of the Russian parliament, was cited by the RIA news organization as saying the US move spoke to "the death throes of political corpses".
The Twitter channel of the Russian government office in London, in the interim, called the Obama organization "hapless" and appended a photo of a duck with "LAME" decorated crosswise over it.
On the White House call, authorities were gotten some information about the possibility of Trump toppling the approvals. They recognized that a future president could turn around course, however, cautioned against such an "unwise" stride.
"We have no reason to believe that Russia's activities will cease," a senior authority said. "One reason why I think it is necessary to sustain these actions is that there's every reason to believe Russia will interfere with future US elections."
On Capitol Hill, Democrats extolled the president's activity, called for further measures and underscored bipartisan support for a careful examination concerning Russian hacking.
"I trust the approaching Trump organization, which has been dreadfully near Russia all through the battle and moved, won't ponder debilitating these new authorizes or our current administration," approaching Senate minority pioneer Chuck Schumer said in an announcement.
"Both parties ought to be united in standing up to Russian interference in our elections, to their cyber attacks, their illegal annexation of Crimea and other extra-legal interventions."
Ben Cardin, the top Democrat on the Senate outside relations board of trustees, called for further authorizes the new Congress when it gathers in January.
GOP leaders rushed to outline the new endorses as short of what was needed.
"While today's action by the administration is overdue," House speaker Paul Ryan said in a statement, "it is an appropriate way to end eight years of failed policy with Russia. And it serves as a prime example of this administration's ineffective foreign policy that has left America weaker in the eyes of the world."
Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two of Russia's fiercest commentators, reverberated Ryan additionally called for extreme Congressional assents.
"Ultimately, [the sanctions] are a small price for Russia to pay for its brazen attack on American democracy," the two men said in a joint statement. "We intend to lead the effort in the new Congress to impose stronger sanctions on Russia."
The 35 Russian representatives being ousted are "knowledge agents," Obama said. The state division has proclaimed them "persona non grata, " and they will be given 72 hours to leave the nation.
Beginning on Friday at twelve, the White House said, Russia will be denied access to mixes in Maryland and New York that have been utilized for intelligence-related purposes.
An announcement from the state office said the political removals were a reaction to hacking as well as to "a pattern of harassment of our diplomats overseas, that has increased over the last four years, including a significant increase in the last 12 months".
The announcement said the badgering has included "arbitrary police stops, physical assault, and the broadcast on state TV of personal details about our personnel that put them at risk."
For quite a while, US negotiators in Russia have reported being taken after and bugged by police.
In June, a US representative was wrestled to the ground by a policeman as he mixed to get inside the government office. Russian powers said the man was a CIA specialist working under operating under diplomatic cover.

How to Prepare for Revenue Cycle Changes in 2014
Kaleida Health is readying for revenue cycle uncertainty through predictive modeling, reallocated staff, and an emphasis on clinical documentation. But the impact of HIX remains unclear.
As hospitals and health systems strive to protect and improve their revenue cycle, one of the greatest challenges they face in 2014 is uncertainty.
With all the unknowns surrounding the eventual impact of healthcare reform, health insurance exchanges, and value-based purchasing payment models, deciding on the right moves to make in order to boost collections and reduce denials isn't going to be easy.
"It's just an era of unprecedented change in the revenue cycle," says Jennifer Nichols, senior director of revenue cycle operations at Buffalo, NY-based Kaleida Health, which has $1.18 billion in annual net patient revenue and an operating margin of 1.6%.
"I haven't seen this amount of concurrent change before or the level of unpredictability of all these simultaneous changes coming together at once," she says.
Preparing with predictive modeling and more FTEs
To prepare for whatever lies ahead, Nichols and her team have done predictive modeling based on different assumptions "to create a playbook for the various scenarios and what-if situations that we can think of so we can be ready," she says.

Iirc, there is no prohibition on scout more than 2 years apart sharing tents. I think it says "assigning... should be avoided". If scouts choose to share a tent, that isnt being assigned, nor is it absolutely prohibited anyway.
I've never found any place in BSA literature where adults are to assign buddies, tent-mates or patrol membership. I've seen it done many times in various troops, but I've seen a lot of problems with it over time as well.

It's that time of year again: the time for hand-wringing about the way Major League Baseball selects its All-Star position players. Is there a way beyond all the gnashing of teeth about the alleged silliness of fan voting, stuffing the (virtual) ballot box, and so on? Maybe not. But there are more objective methods of measuring overall player value available to the public than in the past. Bloggers have come up with some ingenious suggestions for using multiple seasons or even full-blown projections to generate "true talent" All-Star teams, but let's take a more simple approach using FanGraphs' implementation of Wins Above Replacement to see what players have been the most valuable at each position in the league so far this season (as of June 22).
The American League WAR All-Stars
Using the metric "wins above replacement," we figured out who the All-Stars should be.
Joe Mauer is having a good season (if slightly disappointing for him) and just barely squeaks ahead of Victor Martinez. Mauer's teammate Justin Morneau, on the other hand, is having a season even Albert Pujols would be proud of. Robinson Cano is stepping out from the shadows of more celebrated Yankees by having a dominant season at the plate and being above average in the field. Marco Scutaro is having a well-rounded season at shortstop, even if his presence is also a testimony to the relative weakness at that position in the American League this season.
This is about what we've come to expect from Evan Longoria, and given that he is only partially through his third season, that we have such high expectations for him says as much about him as any other superlatives. Fellow Ray Carl Crawford is having a good year even by his lofty standards, and Alex Rios, coming off a disastrous 2009, looks like one of the best outfielders in baseball. Two Rangers round out the All-WAR AL All-Stars: Josh Hamilton is the third outfielder mostly on the strength of his recent offensive outburst, and Vladimir Guerrero still has enough left in the tank to outhit the rest of the primary DHs in the AL.
The National League WAR All-Stars
Using the metric "wins above replacement," we figured out who the All-Stars should be.
There isn't as much competition among the NL catchers, and Brian McCann is clearly the class of that group this season. Adrian Gonzalez, not surprisingly, is a major part of the Padres' current revival. Chase Utley is having a down season relative to his usual standard, but it's more than enough to be the best second baseman in the National League. Troy Tulowitzki is currently leading all NL shortstops but is also out for a couple of months, and Hanley Ramirez is right behind him at 2.2 WAR. Ryan Zimmerman is having another excellent year behind the veil of Strasburg mania. Marlon Byrd is playing less like the stopgap everyone thought he would and more like, well, an All-Star. Matt Holliday is the second best outfielder so far in the National League; despite not really having heated up with the bat yet, UZR is impressed with his glovework (in a small sample size).
The big surprise on the WAR leaderboards is the Giants' Andres Torres, a capable player, but not someone one would have seen as an All-Star before this season, in which he has played well on both sides of the ball. There aren't any "primary DHs" in the National League, of course, but Albert Pujols has been the most valuable hitter in the National League other than Gonzalez so far, and really, it would be laughable to have an All-Star Game without the best player in baseball, wouldn't it?
Matt Klaassen is a writer for FanGraphs.

Andrea Formica, Fiat S.p.A.'s chief of sales in its European region, has left the company. It has been less than a year since he had moved from Toyota Motor Europe in order to assist the struggling automotive division of the company.
According to a spokesperson for Fiat in an interview with Automotive News Europe, the departure of Formica was by mutual agreement with the company. However, the spokesperson did not provide details.
In addition, Formica's departure came one month after he was removed from being the chief executive officer of the Fiat brand. Last July, Olivier Francois was named as the new CEO after previously serving with the same position for Lancia-Chrysler as well as marketing communication boss for Chrysler and Fiat.
According to sources, Fiat will name Lorenzo Sistino as the European sales chief again. Sistino held the position prior to Formica, in addition to being the CEO of Fiat Professional, which is the light commercial vehicle division of the company. Moreover, Sistino was sales boss at the Fiat Professional, Fiat car, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands from January 2009 to October 2010.
With the new role, he will be leading the European sales for Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep. According to insider reports, Fiat's European aftersales boss Diego Pistone will take over Formica's role as head of dealer development.
The company refused to make a comment on the changes in the management as it intends to reveal its new organization in Europe after members of its newly appointed Group Executive Council meet for the first time on September 1 and 2 in Turin. Sergio Marchionne, who is Fiat-Chrysler CEO, confirmed the creation of the 22-member council last July 28. The members will manage the Fiat-Chrysler alliance in moving toward a full merger of the two automakers.

It's subscription box time!!!
If you read last month's post, you will know that I was very unimpressed with the box. First of all, it was super late and there just wasn't anything inside of it that excited me.
This month, I arrived home from work and my Glossybox was waiting for me at the door. I picked it up and noticed how heavy it was – which was my first indication that it was going to be awesome!
I opened it up and I was amazed at what I found inside:
Here's what I received this month:
- Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer – Full size!
- Elizabeth Grant Skin Care Shower Gell – Full size!
- Wella Brilliance Conditioner
- Wella Brilliance Treatment
- Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara
- PLUS a sample of the Marcelle BB Cream!
The first two products alone made the worth of my box over $40! I haven't used any of the products yet, but Wella is my current hair care brand so I'm excited to try out this line. It's made for fine, coloured hair – so hopefully it will give me a little boost.
I'm also very excited to try the sample of the Marcelle BB Cream. I keep passing this over every time I go into Shopper's Drug Mart and since I already have the Garnier BB Cream I haven't picked it up.
I was just about ready to cancel my Glossybox, but I think I'll keep it going, at least for another month!

They hit the white horse, and it stands up. The picador pulls himself into the saddle. Though the horse's guts are hanging out, he canters forward as the rider kicks him. The rider is ready with his lance out, anxious to charge the bull. Blood flows from between the horse's front legs. The bull does not know whether to charge or not.
This story is a gruesome glimpse into bullfighting. This sport, with its blood and gore, has somewhat replaced the fighting in the war. Indeed, this blurb can be seen as a metaphor for the war. The men in charge of the war, like generals and leaders of nations, rode safely like the picadors. The soldiers, then, had to act as the horse, beaten, dying, and still charging forward.
Sparknotes' commentary for On the Quai at Smyrna seems to have quite a few historical errors. The commentary states that the narrator is likely talking about the Greek evacuation of Thrace, but the title is On the Quai at Smyrna. Smyrna is a city in modern-day Turkey (now called Izmir). The Christian (mainly Greek and Armenian) part of Smyrna was burned in 1922 after the Turks recaptured the city from the Greeks. Hemingway was actually in Turkey just after the Great Fire to cover the Greco-Turkish War as a correspondent for the Toronto Star.... Read more→

I think it is difficult to talk about this short story without acknowledging the use of literary minimalism. Several pieces of information are left out of the text but most readers come to the conclusion that Mrs. Elliot is a lesbian. Her marriage to Hubert is one of convenience, and her desire to have a baby is, arguably, to prove that she is not Lesbian (or just so that she can live in the current society without being judged).

Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day! Make it a special one! Our first graders painted jars to use as a vase for Mother's Day flowers. We adapted Kim Saylor's poem on Saylor's Log (typed on a Stampin' Up scallop die cut) and tied them to the top of jar. We made cards designed as purses, too. The kids were so excited!

One of the videos contained his gamertag and Microsoft have quickly dealt a blow and have banned his entire console from Xbox Live, meaning he'll have to buy a new one. The Rockstar policy on posting copyrighted material from its games is very clear: [background=rgb(240,240,240)]Pre-Release Footage: No pre-release leaked footage of any kind: Any posting of in-game footage from leaked copies of the game prior to its official release date will be taken down, regardless of how the game was obtained.

Effect of Postconditioning on Myocardial Reperfusion During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention - POST
Ischemic postconditioning is repetitive reversible ischemia during early reperfusion after the prolonged ischemic insult. Animal studies have demonstrated that postconditioning has cardioprotective effects that are comparable to preconditioning. The current trial sought to test the safety and efficacy of ischemic postconditioning in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Brunei gallery a medicine show perks up
THE great pharmaceutical magnate Sir Henry Wellcome (1853-1936) was as interested in Eastern medicine as in the pills that made his fortune. He and his scouts ransacked Asia for pictures, scrolls, implements and anything else connected with the subject.
From today, a selection from his vast collection in the Wellcome Library can be seen in a show called Asia: Body Mind Spirit. It has been curated by the Wellcome Trust as a response to the enormous interest today in holistic medicine, acupuncture, feng shui and t'ai chi.
As an introduction to the show, the Indian-born London artist Chila Kumari Burman has produced an amazing collage in vivid colours of the thousands of Eastern medicine packets to be found now on Western high streets.

Waterproofing Bathrooms DIY Guide:
The problem seems to be a leak in the wall of my shower. Can I repair water damage, rising damp or moisture caused by pipes in the walls, or is it something that the experts should look at?
The solution is that of course you can solve some problems yourself. Let's see what you can do yourself and what you should rather let the experts look at.
A shower leak means that water found a way through the grout. It can be caused by a discharged outlet that is not dense or has a crack or leak in the pipes. If you suspect any of these problems, you need a professional plumber. After the plumbing is repaired and the tiles or grout is replaced, you can begin the drying process using a fan in the bathroom and by leaving the windows wide open. Be patient because it can take weeks before everything is completely dry.
You will notice that the cement has gone a light gray color. Test that the wall is completely dry by pasting a piece of plastic over the affected area and leaving it overnight. If there are drops of water on the plastic in the morning, you will still have to wait a while until there is no more moisture. It is important that you apply a waterproof barrier on the walls before you tile. You can also use a waterproof bonding agent.
Waterproofing Bathrooms DIY Guide: Step-by-Step
STEP 1: Use a scraper and remove any flaky paint.
STEP 2: Brush the entire area with a wire brush to remove any powdery paint and plaster.
STEP 3: Cut the cracks open wider. Use a scraper to finish it with a filler such as Plascon Polyfilla.
STEP 4: Rub the padded parts until smooth. Dust well and apply at least two coats of moisture sealer, such as Plascon Dampseal.
STEP 5: Enjoy a moisture-free bathroom!

Product Description
May, 1555 – Smart, talented, and handsome, young Nicolo Di Cottano is a respected church composer and assistant music director at the humble Saint Matthias Cathedral and Academy in Genoa, Italy. On the other hand, he's also temperamental, agnostic, half Jewish, and a bit free with his love – traits not normally associated with success in this exalted realm.
Now he has fallen in love with Michela, the beautiful and caring older sister of one of his choirboys. At the same time, he has come to believe that one of the priests is taking unspeakable liberties with an Academy student. Suspects abound. Could it be Father Paulo, the cranky and enigmatic Academy Director who has shown unusual interest in two of the boys, or perhaps Father Pietro, the overbearing senior priest with whom Nicolo has shared years of hostility and distrust? What about Nicolo's friend, Father Raimondo, an Academy instructor whose behavior has been most peculiar as of late? Nicolo can't even be sure if his lifelong protector and ally, Bishop Caravaggio, will be friend or foe in the matter. Complicating matters even more, Nicolo has been warned by a thuggish, red-haired stranger to keep to his own affairs, or else!
An unlikely hero, Nicolo's toughest challenge will be to muster up enough wit and courage to pierce the ongoing conspiracy of secrecy that has haunted Saint Matthias for so long and, if he survives, to fend off inevitable retribution from the vindictive new Pope, persecution from the despicable Bishop sent as Nicolo's inquisitor, and senseless revenge at the cruel hand of Il Rossone, the new self-appointed Don of Saint Matthias Square. And what of Michela – can a young couple's love survive such tribulation?

BBQ Tips
Celebrate the longest tradition in human cooking history. Grilling was first mastered more than 100,000 years ago when early hunters and gatherers roasted meat (and possibly veggies) over hot embers of wood and charcoal.
Even in today, barbecuing is still considered America's favorite way to cook during the summer months — which some say is year-round in Southern California.
Grilling a variety of meats and vegetables is easy and versatile, and there's no question that the subtle smoky smells add both flavor and character to any dish.
Our Meat Department has put together some interesting tidbits about grilling, as well as several different cooking ideas for backyard and patio barbecue enjoyment.
Open vents in the bottom of the grill. Place charcoal briquettes on an area equal to the space the food will occupy, with an additional 2 inches on all sides.
Liquid starter, solid fuel blocks, and electric charcoal starters are some of the methods you can use to start your barbecue.
When the coals are ash covered and no longer flaming (about 30-45 minutes), spread them in a single layer, keeping them close together to keep them hot.
For subtle flavor, consider adding water soaked hardwood chips directly to the charcoal fire, or place some moistened sprigs of herbs directly on the coals or on the grill near the food.
HOT - Coals are barely covered with gray ash
MEDIUM - Coals glow through layers of gray ash
LOW - Coals are covered with a thick layer of gray ash
Marinades add unique flavors and textures to grilled meat. A marinade is a highly seasoned liquid used to give flavor, and in some cases tenderize tough cuts of beef. Marinades usually consist of liquid such as water, fruit or vegetable juice, or oil, which is combined with seasonings and herbs.
For tenderization, meats need to be marinated for at least 6-8 hours. For flavor, marinate meat for at least 15 minutes or longer.
Allow ¼ to ½ cup marinade for each 1 to 2 lbs. of meat.
Always marinate in the refrigerator.
When basting the meat with a sauce, brush on during the last few minutes of grilling to prevent it from burning.
Grilled vegetables make easy, delicious accompaniments for grilled meats. Most vegetables need no preparation for grilling other than cleaning and a light brushing with vegetable or olive oil. All vegetables should be cooked over medium coals and turned occasionally until they reach a desired tenderness. For variety, skewer similar sized pieces and cook until tender.
Slice onions ½" thick. Grill until tender, approximately 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
Pull back husks, leaving them attached to the base, remove silk. Fold husks back around corn and tie at each end. Soak corn in water for 1-2 hours. Remove and grill for 20-30 minutes.
Yellow Squash
Cut into small sections and grill for 5-10 minutes.
Bell Peppers
Cut peppers in half lengthwise and remove seeds. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
Cut into long strips and grill for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally.
Select whole mushrooms which are at least 2" in diameter. Grill for 5-10 minutes.
Microwave small red potatoes until barely tender when tested with a fork. Rinse in cold water to stop cooking. Thread on skewer and grill for 10-15 minutes.
Slice tomatoes ½ to ¾" thick. Grill until heated through, approximately 5 minutes.

Fifty years ago, partners Bill Messerli and Tom Roe founded their own law firm after serving in the military together. The law firm went by various iterations of partner names over the years, but the owners finally settled on Messerli & Kramer. What hasn't changed is a fiercely independent culture with local ownership that encourages growth and expansion of practice areas and grooming of new leaders. We provide sound and comprehensive legal services in 11 major practice areas: Appeals, Banking & Financing, Business Litigation, Collections & Creditor's Remedies, Commercial Real Estate, Corporate & Business Law, Divorce & Family Law, Employment, Estate Planning, Government Relations and Intellectual Property & Technology.
This year, the firm also celebrates 10 years of giving from the Messerli & Kramer Foundation – making a difference in the lives of low-income and underprivileged Minnesotans with a focus on healthcare and education. The Messerli & Kramer Foundation reviews grant applications and awards thousands of dollars annually to Minnesota not-for-profit and charitable organizations. We are proud to celebrate 10 years of giving back to our community.


text: I have had my Moment since last November and have been expecting to be able to see whats available this November to decide what I want to upgrade to in the future. Sprint had the wrong number out of 4 as the primary number on my account. I have suspected that for some time but finally called them to have that corrected yesterday. No only did they fix that litttle problem for me, they also reset my account so I can upgrade immediately if I choose to. So the dilema I face is where and and who to upgrade with to get the best (lowest price) Lack of MIR if possible deal. Does anyone have a recommendation for me and if I should wait for a while for prices to go down even further to get my EPIC? Looks like my wife is going to get the Moment earlier than I expected. We have a BB, and Radio Shack(s) closer than the Sprint store.

"We don't label our war aims quite so frankly these days, but, in effect, that was America's goal a decade ago: to inflict retribution on Al Qaeda and its enablers, the Taliban, in the wake of 9/11. The goals have shifted many times since, but we now seem to have settled on our war aims: Not to create a '21st century Afghanistan,' said Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, nor a country 'free of corruption,' but simply to reduce the Taliban so that Afghan forces can deal with them, hopefully by 2014."

Redirect Bilingual Money
- Target:
- Federal Government of Canada
- Region:
- Canada
It has come to my attention that up to 13 billion dollars is spent each year trying to prop up the french language in Canada.
Every product brought into the country has to have french printed on it. Every little baby born in the Province of Quebec costs the taxpayers of the other 9 provinces nearly $10,000 per french baby. All to maintain their culture.
We, the undersigned, call on the Government of Canada to let the French Language run on its own merits. Free of subsidy, free of Gov influence and lastly free of hiring culture before qualification.

Carrageenan is basically a polysaccharide which is obtained from red seaweed. The molecular composition of this seaweed is pretty similar to that of plastic. This is the reason it has managed to become popular. It can be bent but also resorts back into place. This makes it useful as an additive for gels, foams, and food.
This is being used for a long time for improving the texture of food. It is known to have been used in China in 600 BC for the first time for improving the characteristics of food. It was used for the commercial purpose in 1930 in the west. Around 80% of the seaweed is harvested in the Philippines.
What are Its Uses?
This red seaweed extract is easy to take out, cheap, and also pretty docile. This is the reason it is used in a lot of things. You will find it in milk products particularly plant milk as it does not contain cream. The other uses are mentioned as follows.
- Gummy products
- Toothpaste
- Beer
- Shoe polish
- Shaving cream
The list simply goes on. You will find this to be used along with guar gum, agar, and xantham gum.
Symptoms You Require Carrageenan
Having high cholesterol is one of the most significant signs that you are in need of this red seaweed extract. If you are suffering from kidney problems then this might be able to help you out. Some of the common symptoms of kidney failure are insomnia, physical weakness, and poor appetite. Inflammation caused by intestinal disorder can also be soothed by this extract. Some of the other reasons to consider this supplement are the need to maintain weight and skin grafts. However, before taking this supplement, you should not forget to take the suggestion of your healthcare provider whether it is safe or not.

"Cats" is roaring back.
The musical — truly for now and forever — that millennials around the world grew up with made its way back to Broadway Sunday, opening in a theater culture the original show helped create.
"It was certainly one of the most influential shows in Broadway history for no other reason than it created a family audience," said Laurence Maslon, an associate chair and arts professor at the graduate acting program at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. "It was so successful in that regard that obviously Disney got into the act. It's returning to a landscape that it created in 1982."
For many, the musical, famously complicated and about nothing all at once, colored their childhood. And over the years Andrew Lloyd Webber's show, which ran for 18 years on Broadway, has been graced with stars, including notably Elaine Paige as Grizabella in the original West End production and then Betty Buckley taking on the role on Broadway.
Singer Leona Lewis, at 31 years old a millennial in her own right, will take over the historied role. But it's not Lewis' first bout with the musical.
"I went to the show with my mum in London when I was younger but I was really quite young," Lewis said in an email interview. "I remember it feeling magical and like I'd stepped into a whole different world.
"I think Andrew Lloyd Webber had a big impact on me growing up in music," Lewis added. "I was just in awe of the beauty he created with music. I grew up listening to 'Memory' ... I think I sang it for the first time when I was 9. That love for the big mega ballad has never left me!"
And Lewis is far from alone. Jeffry Denman, who played the role of Munkustrap from 1999 to 2000, when the show closed, said he grew up in Buffalo and first saw the show at about 10 years old in Toronto.
"For me it was pretty amazing, I just became a huge fan of the show. And knowing I was going into theater the thing that impressed me the most about it was how immersive it was at a time when there were not a lot of theatrical productions that were immersive," said Denman, who now works as a director, choreographer and artistic director of the Denman Theatre & Dance Co. "It was one of the first recordings that I bought as a kid."
Indeed, that element of nostalgia will help the new production because it is missing one element the older production had: surprise. Theater historian Jennifer Tepper said the original show existed in an era before social media, which allowed it to keep the set, especially, under wraps.
"The original cast in the early '80s was this huge hit in London that everyone really eagerly anticipated in New York. It was a big deal that no one knew what it really looked like," Tepper said. "It had an element of mystery ... this production is more nostalgia."
As the stars lined up for opening night on Sunday, people posed with their hands shaped like claws and younger guests got their faces painted.
"I hope it's theater magic," Lloyd Webber said before the show.
Broadway star Laura Osnes said she had a lot of friends in the cast and crew of the performance. Osnes said she grew up with the show, and watched parts of the filmed version recently to brush up for Sunday.
"I was still mouthing along to all the words. They stuck all these years later," she said. "I think it's going to be a really special Jellicle night."
Washington Heights resident Connor Russell, 26, recalled watching the video of the show "over and over again" while getting ready for school.
"It's something close to my heart. I think it's such a fun show," said Russell, who grew up to be a Broadway actor — though not in "Cats." "I enjoy the whimsy that the show presents. The show is not based in any reality we live in."
Tepper said that while the show isn't the only musical geared toward tourists and families anymore, it revolutionized the theater scene by appealing to those groups.
"You could understand or at least enjoy 'Cats' even if you didn't understand English. Tons of foreign tourists flocked to it," she said. "It's a wonderful show with amazing dancing, but it really doesn't take a lot of comprehension. It started gaining momentum as this phenomenon, and then it became a foreign phenomenon."
Pam Nurrenbern, 58, headed to see a recent preview show while she was visiting the city from Louisville, Kentucky.
"When I noticed it was going to be here, I said I had to go," Nurrenbern said. "I saw it with my mom and my son 20 years ago. I'll probably tear up a little bit."
The fact that the famed musical is making its comeback isn't surprising to Denman, who recalled the show's closing night back in 2000, and a speech by the show's composer.
"I'm actually shocked that it didn't come back sooner because he had every intention of bringing the show back and he should," Denman said of Lloyd Webber. "I believe it's a beautiful show."

The 50th annual Hilly Hundred will be held October 7-8, 2017, in scenic Monroe, Morgan, Owen, and Brown Counties. The event is sponsored by Central Indiana Bicycling Association (CIBA).
The riders will take on the hills riding about 50 miles each day, returning to Ellettsville where the Start - Finish Line is.
Hams are used at all Rest Stops and as APRS SAG's. To be a SAG (Support And Gear) vehicle, you need to be able to carry at least 3 bicycles and riders. Of the 5,000 + riders each day, not all will finish and the SAG's will carry them to either Rest Stops or to the Finish Line. They are dispatched by an APRS Net Control to make better use of time and urgency.

While I appreciate e-friend Memmay Moore's balanced reporting of this story, in the end I disagree with her conclusions...
Why should a doctor "routinely" ask questions that aren't directly related to a patient's medical complaint? More to the point, why should the doctor store any information about the patient on a computer that links to the Internet...I think this should be a crime. (Yes, it can be helpful for doctors to share data about disease conditions, but if they're doing this they should be absolutely forbidden to link that data to anybody's real identity.)
The best way for doctors to share information is to make the information available, in a range of formats ranging from cartoon sheets to reports from the professional journals, in their waiting-room literature. Doctors know this information will be viewed, read, and taken home.
I'm not sure that it's really appropriate for health care professionals to ask any questions that don't directly follow up on something a patient has said. I know that many competent professionals do make ordinary social conversation with patients. Home health aides, who may actually live in patients' homes, tend to become part of a patient's family...but home health aides also refuse to share any personal information about patients or their families. In an office where information is being stored on a computer, patients should certainly withhold any information other than the facts about a disease condition, including their real names.
I don't think there is an inoffensive way for a pediatrician to ask any leading questions about an adult's use of firearms. Much as some of us may want to keep others "safe," those who are interested in wildlife and the environment know that one of every creature's primary "safety needs" is to be safe from unnatural interference. It's more important that children grow up in a society that respects privacy than that they be "protected" from any possibility that they might one day want to commit suicide...for starters, interference creates the kind of stress that makes susceptible people more interested in escape by any means necessary including suicide.
A pediatrician can of course mention firearms on a list of things that can be dangerous to toddlers, along with soap and other cleaning products, adult-size furniture, stoves, heaters, stairs, windows, shelves, and practically everything else in a normal home. Toddlers really do need to be kept "safe" by spending their days within sight of a responsible adult, preferably the one with whom they bonded as breast-fed babies.
If burdened by additional "safety" concerns for other people, we can always publish safety-related articles in magazines...many magazines actually pay for them. And that's the absolute limit to which we need to go, except when we are personally responsible for the care of a small child or sick patient.
In most cases the urge to meddle, ask questions, and give advice to the other adults we know will only make us less popular...but in crowded urban environments where people may already be feeling stressed by too much contact with too many acquaintances, that one little push to "protect" someone just might push someone over the edge, toward suicide or mass murder.

102-Year Old Ship is a Floating Forest in Sidney
This abandoned ships is the SS Ayrfield which is more than 102 years old and even though it looks like is floating in fact is stuck in the mud, but at times during various tides it has the appearance of floating. The ship commissioned by the Commonwealth Government for the transportation of supplies to American, but by the 1972, the hull had been broken up and ended up in Homebush Bay.
Since then is housing a lush flora growing in its rusted hull and the fully-grown mangrove trees that have earned this 1140 tonne ship the name of "Floating Forest".

I might be the author of the plugin and my opinion could be considered biased by those who read this, but I am going to post an honest review of the plugin.
WordPress EZ Backup is easy to use & for the in-depth functions it requires to perform its job it works on a fairly universal basis.
Different web hosts will have different setups for their Apache, PHP & MySQL services. WordPress EZ Backup attempts to be compatible with as many hosts as possible. I have been using EZ Backup on all our sites since the day I wrote it. It has come a long way with many improvements in its routine & I try to continue with updates.
The plugin works great for me and my clients.

How to get free of your debt
Sometimes you have to identify the needs and wants. Going back to economics 1 the supply and demand. But we don't go to the supply and demand but rather let's get to the point the debt itself. Let's check yourself what kind of lifestyle to the point you have been into debt. First you have to make to sure that the only you purchase its really needed not what you want. Because if you only want this thing very badly on the other hand you don't really need it. Then, you don't use it. Just like your wishing an iPhone although you have an android phone. That's a waste of money. Another thing you can buy a cheap dress but that instead you bought an expensive one. If this is you at this moment you just probably just into debt. So good news is whether you have a debt in your friends and your credit card or any lending. You can still be free. Im telling you this because I experienced this. Which I learned the hard way. About a year ago I use up my credit limits in my two card. One I added for my capital which some not yet paid. Thankfully I recovered it I pay one credit card over spending especially if you have no idea if you can pay for it. Then I would say don't try to credit instead learn how to budget your money. Do not purchase the unnecessary items that it's not needed. And last but not least learn to save. And set aside an emergency fund. Never use your credit card unless you have a fund. And always pay your bills on time or advance. If you all these things I am sure you will thank me later.

Regime forces reportedly seize the last main road connecting al-Bab with Raqqa, Daesh's de facto capital in Syria.
Daesh is "completely besieged" in al-Bab after forces loyal to Syria's regime cut off a road into the group's last major stronghold in the country's Aleppo province, a war monitor said on Monday.
The regime advances came after its announcement on Thursday that it was expanding operations against Daesh in the country's north. Its gains draw the regime closer to potential conflict with Turkish-backed Syrian opposition forces, who are also making inroads against Daesh in the region.
"Al-Bab is now completely besieged by the regime from the south, and the Turkish forces and rebels from the east, north and west," said the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
"The regime's forces and allied militia seized the only and last main road used by Daesh between al-Bab and Raqqa," Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman told Agence France-Presse, referring to Daesh's de facto capital in Syria.
TRT World's lolo ap Dafydd reporting from the Turkish border city of Gaziantep said that if al-Bab falls, it will open up "the routes further south towards Raqqa."
Astana meeting
Meanwhile, experts from Turkey, Russia Iran and the UN on Monday started a technical meeting in Kazakhstan's capital, Astana, to discuss in detail the implementation of the Syrian ceasefire agreement brokered in December by Turkey and Russia, Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry said.
Jordan was also expected to take part for the first time in the Astana meeting, the foreign ministry spokesman said.
He said the meeting would review the implementation of the cessation of hostilities, discuss a proposal from the Syrian opposition about the ceasefire, and determine options about how to implement it.
A 14-member Russian delegation, including lawmakers, is scheduled to visit Syria's capital Damascus on Monday, and is expected to meet regime leader Bashar al Assad, according to Russian news agency Sputnik.

***Hanging Chad is BOOK 4 in the series...these books are best enjoyed in the order written***
For Chad Ollom, landing on the Willow Springs Ranch after his teaching career crashed and burned last year was a lesson in irony, considering he'd sworn off all things related to horses and cowboys after a near fatal fall as a child. Now with a new mission in life, Chad plans to bring critically ill children to the ranch for a special celebration.
Aging rodeo cowboy Jesse Duran lives life eight seconds at a time, and whether it's broncos or men, it's always been get on and get off before anyone gets hurt. When he's required to take a break from the circuit and ends up on the WSR, the enticing ass of a stand-offish teacher turned contractor might just be enough challenge to keep him entertained for a week or two.
As attraction flares, personal boundaries start to crumble, and the lines between seducer and seduced begin to blur. When the series of on-going attacks against the WSR moves from sabotage to arson, Jesse steps up to help, but when Chad is forced to return to his past to face charges of abuse, the men of the WSR want to know if Jesse will stick or leave Chad hanging.

Obama's Bad Day
Judge Royce Lamberth caused a stir by making Monday a particularly bad day for the Obama Administration. For ruling against the president's attempt to spend federal tax dollars on embryonic stem cell research, the U.S. District Court judge is officially on the liberals' hit list. They're calling him a "crazy judge" with "sloppy reasoning," but you can decide for yourself.
Here's the background: Shortly after taking office, President Obama issued an executive order funneling millions of tax dollars to embryonic stem cell research. He did so in blatant defiance of the Dickey-Wicker Amendment, which specifically states that no federal funds may be used in research that harms or kills human embryos. Since 1996, Congress has re-approved the amendment yearly, so it's hard to ignore.
Judge Lamberth rightly noted the conflict and, because federal law trumps executive orders, the court temporarily halted the controversial funding. Meanwhile, the lawsuit that prompted this discussion will proceed through the court system.
The judicial decision sheds light on two important matters. First, it reinforces that President Obama's famous executive order to exempt abortion from health care reform is also meaningless. As we've known all along, executive orders cannot override federal law. This case proves it.
Second, we're seeing the true colors of embryonic stem cell researchers. Even though their work proves time and again to be a colossal failure, they're indignant that we taxpayers would dare to keep our own money out of their labs. They are driven by greed, not science. While embryonic research offers no clinical successes, other scientists focusing on adult stem cells (cells used from your own skin and body instead of killing a tiny human life) are finding dozens of new treatments. So why does the Obama Administration insist on spending limited funds on fruitless research that ultimately devalues and kills lives?
The Obama Administration is already planning to appeal Judge Lamberth's decision, but please spread the word: this deadly dead-end research must be stopped. As David Stevens, executive director of the Christian Medical Association and one of the plaintiffs in the case, says, "People forget that each one of us was an embryo, and if someone [killed] us for biological parts, we wouldn't be around today." Scientists, of all people, should be quick to acknowledge that premise. Until they do, generations remain in danger of losing their lives.
