Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce with Beecher's Flagship
There is nothing quite like homemade…and that goes for pasta sauce, too! This recipe is quick and easy, not to mention super versatile. Feel free to tweak the herbs, amount of cream, or the type and quantity of cheese to your heart's content! This sauce is even more delicious with a couple Italian sausages (spicy or sweet) sauteed with the onions and garlic. Tonight, I kept it fairly simple and not overly indulgent with the cream and cheese. Today is Tuesday, after all. Leftover grilled chicken and steak were a no-brainer and put this dinner on the table in less than 40 minutes, though the sauce can certainly be made earlier in the day and then gently reheated come dinner time. Where this sauce is slightly chunky, a shaped pasta is a great choice; though the creaminess also makes it a happy pairing with a long pasta, such as linguine. My personal favorite? Gnocchi!

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Guitars in General' started by Mikey01, Jan 3, 2008.
Ain't she purtty.
Very pretty indeed, congratulations!
Definitely. Do you like the pickups in it, or do you think you'll swap them?
Nice guitar! Congrats! I haven't tried one yet, but would like to.
How about a tone report?
That IS a nice looking guitar. I'm not usually into PRSs, but that one certainly looks like a nice combination of features . . . with a classy top. Enjoy it!
Very classic looking!
How's it play? How about some close ups of the top? What model is that?
That's nice! Is it an SE?
When I went to the PRS Experience in September I was talking to a few employees and J Hayes. J is the guy that demo's PRS guitars on the site and on Youtube. Out of all of the PRSi the guy could choose, his main gigging guitar is the semi-hollow custom. I was shocked when he said that.
It's the PRS SE Custom semi hollow. The top is bookmatched maple better than Iv'e seen in a long time. AAA quality at the very least. It is truly the same piece of wood butterflied open. I mean it's got to be. It plays smooth with close action and smooth fret ends much the same as any fat/wide standard PRS would. Working on sound quality definition for you, but it does sounds great. The pick-ups are a tad bit hotter than regular American PRS pick-ups IMHO. I would like to keep them and coil tap them. I am wondering if they have individual magnets in each pick-up, wound separetly or one big winding around one big magnet? It has 95% of the size of what you would call a standard "fat/wide PRS neck". The quality of chrome, hardware, wood, paint, finish, and overall craftsmanship is 100% among the best American made products, bar none. I had $4000 cash and went to buy the American PRS but left with this one. The American PRS semi hollowbody is ultra light weight whereas this one is just a good light weight guitar. This SE Custom will withstand all tests.
I want to try one. I don't know why PRS doesn't have a semi hollow in their American lineup.
They do. I played two of them here in Cincinnati. They are based on the model 22 and I seem to find them in honey colored stain around $3500. They have the carved top whereas my SE has the flat top.
For 600$ they are a good buy. The top is just a flame laminate top on a plain maple top, not a AAA flame maple piece of maple. They are probably the best korean made guitars in that price range. The pickups are hotter than the US version, and are decent but not the best. The finish and hardware are really top for a guitar this price, but I would change the pots.
The SE line has just gotten better and better.
I recently bought a SE hollow (same as the the one in this thread)
I have played strats for decades so this is a nice change. Mine is
6 pounds exactly and I am loving it. I thought I would want to replace the pick-ups,but I find them to be excellent. I do find the taper of the pots to be odd. Any suggestions on suitable upgrade replacement pots?
Get an RS kit. Seems that's what everyone here uses.
Thanks for the responce. Can you tell me what is an RS kit and where can
it be purchased?
Google is your friend. rs electronics
Yes' it does have just a maple cap. I am sorry I did not make that clear. But I am tellin ya, the flame in the veneer is the best I have ever seen. The grain does not fade and all grain lines and grain shading, on mine, match perfectly, and are fancy and detailed to look at.
I think that PRS has seen the potential of a vast market for high end, "far east" built guitars, that rival all others as well as many mass produced American built pieces, and be able to sell them for under $1000. And PRS feels secure enough about there American built guitar market that they can do this without fear of loosing sales in that arena.
I (IMHO), think the quality control, on PRS imported guitars, has got to be tightly controlled and personally monitored by PRS thenselves more-so than with other guitar manufacturers.
Congrats on the SE! I've been looking at the singlecut SE for awhile now. I tried a Singlecut at GC then tried a Singlecut SE and liked the SE better. the feel was just right and not as "chunky" as the expensive PRS Singlecut. The Youtube demo of the Custom SE is excellent.
You may have seen it already but Harmony Central under VideoTheater has a interview with Paul Reed Smith about the SE line. Man this guy just has a passion for what he does and is extremely proud of the SE line, manily because he was called a fool for offering an overseas line and putting the Korean name on the back of the headstock.
I'll be going to GC to try the the Custom SE tomorrow!

PhD in Creative Writing: Online and Campus-Based Programs
You aren't likely to find a creative writing Ph.D. program online, though campus-based programs are available. Learn about the purpose of this program, common courses, application requirements and career opportunities once you graduate.
What is the Purpose of a Ph.D. in Creative Writing?
The ultimate goal of the Ph.D. program is to master the craft of writing in a chosen genre, demonstrated through the completion of a dissertation. Unlike a dissertation in an English literature Ph.D. program (which is often a research project that takes 2-3 years), your creative writing thesis is a collection of creative work. This may be a novel, a collection of essays or a collection of poetry.
|Program Goal
|Produce a novel, collection of poetry or essay collection
|Common Courses
|Writing workshops, literary criticism, literary theory
|Application Materials and Prerequisites
|Writing sample or portfolio; bachelor's or master's degree in English or a related field
|Career Options
|English or creative writing professor, fiction writer, poet, grant writer, reporter
|Median Salary (2018)
|$62,170* (for writers and authors)
|Job Outlook (2016-26)
|8% growth* (for all writers and authors)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
What Kind of Coursework Does a Ph.D. in Creative Writing Entail?
Coursework varies by program, but you can expect to participate in a series of writing workshops in which your peers will evaluate your work. Because of the emphasis on peer workshops (and, in some cases, student teaching), Ph.D. programs in creative writing are rarely offered online. In addition to workshops, your coursework may also include the study of literary criticism and literary theory.
What Do I Need to Apply?
You must submit a writing sample as a key component of your application. For many creative writing Ph.D. programs, your portfolio is the largest factor determining whether or not you are admitted. This sample is typically a collection of your work in the creative writing genre you're interested in studying, such as poetry or fiction. In most cases, you are required to possess a master's degree in English, creative writing or a related field. Some schools may allow you to apply with only a bachelor's degree.
What Can I Do With This Degree?
A creative writing Ph.D. prepares you for several interconnected fields. Graduates often pursue teaching positions in English or creative writing departments at the undergraduate level. To secure a teaching position, however, you are usually expected to have a record of published work; therefore, you may pursue a career as a professional writer in order to create a substantial body of work.
While you do not need formal education to become a professional writer, you may want to enroll in a Ph.D. program for the purpose of refining your craft. In addition, pursuing a Ph.D. degree allows you to develop connections within the publishing industry, which can improve your chances of having your work published. You may pursue a writing career in fiction, poetry or non-fiction. Other professional writing careers include news reporting, professional grant writing and Internet-based research writing.

In Stalin, Anushka danced with Megastar Chiranjeevi and the song became popular prior to release as well. But she did not get a chance to share screen with him as full-time heroine.
Now, again for a special part, Anushka got a chance to act with Chiranjeevi. She was offered the role before but she did not accept.
She was trying weight training back then and hence, she did not accept any films. As she is back to acting, the team again approached her and she said, Yes.
The special portion involving her will be shot soon and it will have a song and few scenes, it seems.
The movie Sye Raa seems to have many surprises for fans with stellar casting like Nayantara, Tamanna, Niharika Konidela, Jagapathi Babu, Kicha Sudeepa, Vijay Sethupathi with Amitabh Bachchan.

text: STYLE Andy Cohen Welcomes His First Child Via Surrogate 6:44 AM PST 2/5/2019 by Evan Real FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Getty Images Andy Cohen "I'm in love," the Bravo host said of his new baby son, Benjamin Allen. Andy Cohen took to Instagram to reveal that he welcomed his first child — a baby boy named Benjamin Allen — via surrogate Monday, Feb. 4, at 6:35 p.m. According to the Bravo host, Benjamin weighs 9 pounds, 2 ounces, and measures 20 inches long. The post was accompanied by a black-and-white photo of Cohen snuggling with his new bundle of joy. In his caption, the Real Housewives creator shared that he named his son Benjamin Allen after his maternal grandfather, Ben Allen. "I'm in love," Cohen wrote. "And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I'm a dad. Wow." Benjamin's arrival comes weeks after Cohen first shared the news that he was going to be a dad on an episode of his late-night Bravo series, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. "Tonight, I want you to be the first to know that after many years of careful deliberation, a fair amount of prayers and the benefit of science — if all goes according to plan, in about six weeks time I'm going to become a father," he shared at the time. "Thanks to a wonderful surrogate who is carrying my future," he continued. "Family means everything to me and having one of my own is something that I have wanted in my heart for my entire life. And though it's taken me longer than most to get there, I cannot wait for what I envision will be the most rewarding chapter yet." When Cohen co-hosted CNN's 2019 New Year's Eve celebration with Anderson Cooper, he expressed his excitement — and astonishment — over becoming a single parent. "When I was growing up and when we were growing up…I just never thought it would be possible, as a gay man, to grow up and have a family," he explained during the broadcast. "And here we are in 2018, almost [2019], and anything's possible." See Cohen's Instagram post below. View this post on Instagram WOW! This is my son, Benjamin Allen Cohen. He is 9 lbs 2 ounces !! 20 inches !! Born at 6:35 pm, PT He is named after my grandfather Ben Allen. I'm in love. And speechless. And eternally grateful to an incredible surrogate. And I'm a dad.

It is your business when your neighbors get physically violent with each other! Many times people just mind their business when couples living next to them engage in frequent fights. Nobody says anything until something terrible happens. I cannot understand why we keep mute and lie to ourselves that reporting domestic violence or calling the attention of appropriate authorities is meddling in other people's personal family matters. No wonder then that we soon hear the announcement of the death of one of the fighting couple.
In the news again this weekend we hear about a man beating his wife to death; then he locks the door leaving his two children with the body of their mother! (I do not even know how to qualify his action…so…so wicked!!!) So called neighbors when asked why they did not intervene said that they were used to hearing the couple fight each other and did not know that it will become fatal.
Seriously do we have to wait until somebody winds up dead before doing something to stop any form of physical assault?
Something my brother did a few years ago comes to my mind. He had a neighbor who was in the habit of physically abusing his wife. Every time he beat her the woman's cry could be heard in the homes of their neighbors including my brother's house. One day he just about had enough…this neighbor started to beat his wife as usual and my brother decided to call the Police. Thank God our Nigerian Police did not say it was a family matter as is their practice. The man was arrested and the woman's family later thanked my brother for helping to save their daughter. I was so proud of him for taking this step and not minding his business as we all do most times.
My point…if domestic violence is going on in your neighbor's house do not keep silent…do not mind your own business because we should all be about the business of saving lives!!!
What you can do
• Knock or bang on the door when a fight is going on.
• Tell your neighbor that his or her behavior is unacceptable.
• Report the matter to their close relatives; pastor if you have the privilege of knowing them
• Report to the Police, if it continues
• Whatever you do, don't mind your business
Enough of battering that leads to death!

If nature is a chocochip cake, Chakrata is like your favourite piece of that cake. Dehradun and Mussoorie are so basic and always flooded with tourists. If you are looking for an unexploited, less travelled destination, take a trip to Chakrata. Chakrata is one of the army cantonment hill stations in India. And, guess what? Foreigners are not allowed here since it is a base for covert army operations.
A utopia in Uttarakhand, here's what all you can do in Chakrata.Book Cab Now
#rappelling on Tiger falls
The clandestine falls are 6 km trek from Chakrata. Falling from the height of 312 metres, the gushing water enchants loudly between the hills making the sound of a tiger's roar. Hence, the name.There is a pool beneath the fall which you can consider as your natural jacuzzi.
#birdwatching in Deoban
The 'God's own forest' is where you can find exotic bird species like white collared blackbird and Himalayan woodpeckers. A walk in the woods gives you a true, peaceful environment and some time for contemplation. 15 minutes walk through the dense forests will take you to the spot where Rishi Vyas wrote the Hindu epic 'Mahabharat'. You might need permission from the Defence Corps to walk into the forest.
#caving in Budher caves
Our ancestors were cave people. And when I talk about ancestors, I pinpoint to the Pandavas who found these Budher caves. A mystery for a long time, these caves remain unexploited till date. Exploring the cave would be your nearest experience to living like a caveman. Also known by the name of Mioli caves as the place is, the only way to reach these caves is by trek.
#trek to Chilmiri Neck
Trek to the highest point in Chakrata, that is Chilmiri Neck, and lo and behold magnificent views of the Himalayan ranges. Puff your lungs with some fresh air as you trek up to the point of Chilmiri Neck. Your reward: the astounding view of beautiful Bandarpoonch, Rohini, and Swarg Peaks.
#picnicking in Kalsi
Situated by the bank of Yamuna river, Kalsi is a historic town where the stone edicts of King Ashoka are present. The landscape is beautiful to have a picnic. You can also fish in the river if you have a prior permission from the army.
Best time to go
The weather remains pleasant in summers. In winters, the hill station is flanked with snow.
How to reach
Chakrata is 345 kms from New Delhi which takes about 8 hours to reach. There are private buses running from New Delhi to Chakrata. The nearest railway station is Dehradun Railway Station. Nearest airport is Jolly Grant Airport. If you decide to take a trip to Chakrata by road, here is the route to follow:
New Delhi – Panipat – Karnal – Paonta Sahib – Dakpatthar – Chakrata
Paradise for
Trekkers, adventure seekers.
Place to stay
There are scanty places to stay in Chakrata. The only hotel in Chakrata is Snow View Resort which provides you a comfortable stay in the hill station. You can also stay at Ramtal Resort.
For the people who really want to satiate their hunger for natural beauty, they should definitely take a trip to Chakrata. Untouched by commercialization, Chakrata is inundated with raw natural splendour and infinite adventures to explore. Green valleys and dense coniferous forests of Chakrata call out for those smitten with a wanderlust.

State Rep. Diego Hernandez (D-East Portland) has been cleared of anonymous rumors that he maintained a list of female lobbyists during the 2017 session, ranking them by "attractiveness and certain physical attributes."
The legislative counsel's office notified Hernandez in a Sept. 15 letter that after interviewing 21 people, including lawmakers, legislative staff and lobbyists, that it could find no substantiation for a rumor that apparently began circulating in May.
"Everyone acknowledged hearing of the accusation alleged in the rumor," wrote Deputy Legislative Counsel Jessica Santiago. "However, there was insufficient corroborating evidence to identify the source of the underlying rumor. Thus, based on the interviews that we conducted, we were unable to positively identify the source of the rumor and could not verify the accusation alleged in that rumor."
Put simply, Santiago writes, the "accusation was false."
In her letter, Santiago notes that two people she sought to interview were less than fully cooperative, "one of whom outright refused to participate and one of whom only provided a statement through her attorney." Santiago's letter does not name those people or any of those who agreed to be interviewed.
Hernandez, who is serving his first term in Salem, requested the inquiry in late June in an effort to dispel a whisper-campaign against him.
"I have been the target of harassment, bullying and racism, and a victim of an ugly campaign of rumors," Hernandez said in a statement on Tuesday.
He says he believes his skin color as well as his vocal stance on equity issues prompted what Santiago's letter termed "rumormongering."
"I strongly believe that I was targeted not only because of the color of my skin, but also because of the issues I fought for," Hernandez said. "This session, I was a proud advocate for immigrant rights and their privacy, cultural competency in higher education, Ethnic Studies in K-12, and other issues I care deeply about. Because of this, I was warned that I was 'coming on too strong,' and that I should "watch my back.'"
Hernandez added that he thinks the rumors about him are part of Salem's culture.
"This incident is a symptom of larger institutional problems at our State Capitol," he said.
"It reveals that the Capitol is a place where discrimination, harassment, misogyny, and bullying behavior exists and all too often goes unchecked. I made the decision to respond to these awful rumors in a public way because I want to change this institution for the better."

It's hard to imagine how dramatically your life will change when you get a new pup. Here are 7 major changes to keep in mind.
by Good Dog
The day you bring your new puppy home will almost certainly be magical. You've prepped, planned and dreamed of this moment for months, and it's finally here! But have you thought about what comes next?
Pups can generally hold their pee for a couple of hours at a time (4 hours maximum, but it depends on the dog). If you're training your dog to go potty outside, this means actually taking them outside frequently, aka about every 1-2 hours.
Puppies, huh? Can't live with 'em, can't immediately teach them not to make a mess inside. Be ready for all kinds of messes, from couch and shoe destruction, to not-so-mysterious puddles, to everything in between.
If you haven't done so before bringing your new pup home, you'll have to make sure your home is a safe place for a puppy to live and explore. Hide any exposed electronic cords, keep cleaning chemicals locked away, make sure food (both human and dog-related) is out of reach, and much much more. It may be a while before they're at all responsible; and even then, they're still delightful animals who don't always operate how you wish they would.
Sorry, folks. Owning a puppy means being home at certain times so you're able to provide and care for them. Even if you use a dog-sitter or doggy day care service, your new friend will require lots of socialization, training, playtime, cuddle time, and walks. You will likely have to turn down a few after-work drinks or other activities in order to be home in time to take care of your puppy.
Listen, we've all been there. If you're flooding your personal account with pictures of dogs, not all of your friends and family will be stoked about this. (They are wrong, but that's fine.) You may find yourself wanting to share your quirky and adorable new puppy with the world through social media more than you previously anticipated, and that's totally normal! A lot of dog owners consider their dogs to be members of their family and will treat them as such. Go forth and post!
Without getting all "helicopter parent" on them, you'll most likely enroll your puppy in training classes soon after bringing them home. This is a weekly commitment, with each class typically taking about one hour. These classes are important for both socialization and teaching your puppy how to behave; some behavioral traits in dogs come from genetics and can't simply be trained away, but overall these classes help your puppy learn simple commands and help you learn how to correctly discipline and praise your dog.
Owning a dog is so much more than the routine activities, like walking or training, that can feel tedious at times. You're investing in a little buddy who wants to show you unconditional love with their funny personality. This level of responsibility, and thoughtfulness, might be a new level for you, but feel free to embrace it. The bond between a dog and their owner is extremely special, so congratulations!

In every branding session, we focus on your organisational values. Closely tied to this is; legacy. Legacy is what you stand for. In any example, legacy is what defines you when you're long gone. It's how you lived, how you acted, what you did to change something, someplace or someone for the better.
The Importance Of What You Do
Now, we're not a political place here at haarper. We like to keep our culture and political culture at opposite ends, but given the election that was just run, I wanted to touch on an important, and I feel forgotten word; legacy.
Back to politics. I'm unsure of the legacy any politician in Australia has left since John Howard. And that's concerning. It's that concern that makes me think "has nothing been memorable? Has nothing had a positive impact on my life over the last 12 years?"
When we look at brands, how will yours be remembered? Will it be remembered at all? Where do you fit in the world? And to quote Steve Jobs (recommended watching below) "We need to be really clear about what we want them (the market) to know about us."
Are you clear on what problems you solve?
It's crucial that you take the time to really think about how you want to be thought of, what do you want people to know? Why do they care? And how do you help them? These questions sound obvious, but commonly, there are the first questions forgotten. These questions are not shiny, they're not new, but they are priceless.

The secret Life of Bees-Book Review
The Secret Life of Bees
By Sue Monk Kidd
Review by Jodessa Bethelmie
Sue Monk Kidd did an outstanding job in her creation of The Secret Life of Bees, a breathtaking novel of hope, forgiveness and female power.
In the novel, the main character, Lily Owens, tells the story of the summer her life gets turned around. Haunted by the death of her mother, Lily lived in misery with her angry father, T-Ray. However, all of that changed when her black nanny, Rosaleen, insulted the three of the most racist men in town and got beaten and sent to jail. It was then that Lilly decided to 'bust' them ( Rosaleen and herself) both out of 'jail'. They run away to Tiburon, South Carolina where they find a home with three black women, May, June and August, who teach Lily not only how to keep bees, and the truth about her mother, but also how to love and forgive.
The characters in the novel include Lily, T-Ray, Rosaleen, Zach (a male friend), the daughters of Mary and the sisters, August, June and May, who held her heart, on the outside of the chest. Each character plays a part in teaching Lily that home is not just a place someone lives, but a place they belong.
All in all, The Secret life of Bees in an exemplary novel that touches on the themes of Love, Forgiveness, Religion, and Racism. I recommend it to anyone who loves a good heartwarming story.

As more and more companies embark on their digital transformation journey, organisations need to upgrade and evolve their infrastructure technology to maintain a competitive edge. The promise of serverless is to allow organisations to focus on their application and not worry about infrastructure, which includes buying, scaling, and securing infrastructure to run their applications.
As I've previously discussed, it's critical that serverless is chosen for the right kind of task. It's perfect for handling short tasked based jobs that take a relatively small period of time to execute, but it's less useful for long running tasks or for complex tasks. However, even with a well-considered strategy and a solid budget, the migration to serverless can go awry.

Two passenger trains derailed off a bridge and into a river in central India late Tuesday night, leaving scores injured and possibly at least 24 dead, according to Indian authorities.
Shortly before midnight local time, a number of coaches of the Kamayani Express, en route from Mumbai to Varanasi, separated from the tracks and fell into the Machak River, near the town of Harda in the state of Madhya Pradesh. Minutes later, the Janata Express, heading in the opposite direction, derailed at the same location.
NDTV, an Indian broadcasting network, reports that railway officials are blaming the recent heavy rains of the monsoon season, which may have caused the track to cave in. Some officials have speculated that high river levels — possibly caused by a nearby dam burst — washed onto the tracks, though this has not yet been confirmed.
Hundreds of passengers have thus far been rescued, but Kiren Rijiju, India's Union Minister of State for Home Affairs, tells the Times of India that the number of casualties is "likely to be high." By mid-afternoon, dozens of passengers remained unaccounted for. Adverse weather conditions had prevented the full rescue operation from arriving at the scene of the accident until dawn.
Meanwhile, the accident has diverted or canceled a number of trains, many out of Mumbai.
This is not the first fatal train incident in the country this year. A number of public figures have spoken out against what they deem the unsatisfactory safety conditions of India's railway system, one of the most heavily trafficked in the world.
"I don't consider it as an accident," Dinesh Trivedi, who served as the country's Minister of Railways between July 2011 and March 2012, said, according to Asian News International. "Accident [sic] is something which can't be avoided. This could've been avoided."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has pushed for the rejuvenation of the country's railways, tweeted his sympathies on Wednesday morning.

34 things I know for sure
Anyone else an Oprah fanatic? As a kid both of my parents worked full time so after school Oprah basically raised me 🙂 I guess it's better than what most kids home alone could be doing so I'm sure my parents couldn't complain.
Oprah has a way of telling you what you need to hear without feeling like she was a nagging mom. One of the ways she did that was through her "things I know for sure" talks and magazine articles. I'm turning 34 this week. Not a milestone birthday, but still another trip around the sun.
So in honor of my 34th year, I thought I'd share my 34 things I know for sure.
- Daily quiet time brings you life. Find the time. For me it's early mornings, for my husband it's late nights. Find your time.
- Hand written notes don't go out of style. If someone pops into your head you should take the time to write to them.
- Connecting with people is what we're designed to do. Even if you're introverted. Even if you don't like people. Find a way to connect with people. We're not supposed to do this thing called life alone and isolated.
- The best friends are the kind who are going the same direction in life as you but also hold you to a higher standard. They want you to live your best life and give you permission to hold them to the same standard.
- Hurting people hurt people. Don't take it personally.
- Prayer is just talking to God. Don't overthink it.
- Even the best marriages require constant effort.
- Pineapple on pizza is what's right in this world.
- Despite it's shortcomings, everyone should live in California for at least a year. The diversity is one of the things I'm most proud of about my home state. Whether you agree with people or not, you can learn so much about people living here.
- You need people you can call on for help. If you don't have a tribe you should be the one to create it.
- Just because it's on sale doesn't mean you should buy it.
- Don't take advice from someone you wouldn't trade places with. You wouldn't take advice from a couch potato on running a marathon so why would you take advice on what you should do with your life from someone who's life you don't want?
- Black jelly beans are what's wrong in this world.
- You are far more capable than you could imagine. (Still working on this one myself)
- You can tell what people value based on what they spend their time on and what they spend their money on. If they say they value something but don't invest time or money into it, don't believe them.
- Fall is the best season. Nothing tops pumpkins, over sized sweaters and boots.
- You would be a lot kinder to yourself if you talked to yourself like you would talk to a child.
- There's not always a relationship between effort and outcome. Don't let that stop you from giving your effort in the future.
- Student loans- avoid at all costs! And if you can't avoid, then plan, prepare, and be ready to start making good money right away to pay them off before you retire. But I'm not bitter about it or anything.
- Credit Cards- See #19
- If your ship gets off course, it's your job to redirect it. Nobody can get it back on course except you.
- You can work out daily but if you don't eat the right foods you won't get the results you're looking for.
- Make a decision. If it's a bad one, at least you'll figure that out and adjust, and if it's a good one, then great! But sitting in indecision doesn't benefit anyone, especially you.
- Most challenges with your kids are for a season. Some seasons are longer than others. When you're in the thick of it, it feels never ending but it will eventually come to an end.
- In the same regard, most of your favorite moments as a parent are short lived. Hold on to them while you can. The baby snuggles, the toddler discoveries, the figuring out what they're good at, the becoming independent people, all of it comes and goes in the blink of an eye. Soak it in.
- We're all much more alike than we think. For the most part we want the same things, we just have different ideas about how we get there.
- Grief never goes away, but you will get to a point where you can smile when you think of that person instead of crying. Remember that day. It's a really big deal when you make it there.
- Watching true crime shows by yourself right before bed is never a good idea.
- There isn't a better sound in the world than your children laughing deep belly laughs.
- Your children won't remember the toys you bought them but they will remember the time you spend with them.
- The words you speak have the power to bring energy into the world. Make sure you're bringing good energy.
- Most people won't understand your hustle. Keep going.
- Recipe tip: Add extra cheese. The end.
- God is real. If I could share every story on how He moved in our lives I would have a novel to share. He has a purpose for your life. You matter. You are supposed to be here.

When I turned 18, I went to work on the iron.
Without a road map on my journey of life, my mother gave me an ultimatum; get a job or get out.
I went with the job.
Though my ironworking days didn't last too long; 5, maybe 6 years, I met some wonderful men. Men who taught me valuable lessons which would help me later on in life.
This past week I received word that Irv Buitrago passed away. Irv was a Local 40 Ironworker and an outstanding guy. We worked a few jobs together.
RIP Irv

20+Remarkable Wavy Haircuts For 2019
Wavy haircuts – It cannot be claimed that women are fully free in determining the style of haircuts. It is not necessary to mention that the hair type is very important in determining the haircut. If you have straight hair, choosing a wavy hair will not be a very useful choice. The tongs which are used for wavy hairstyles, will not be very long – lasting. You will be very limited in time to take full advantage of the wavy hairstyles.

"I recently purchased the sanitary and accessories from Bassetts in Lisburn for an ensuite and main bathroom makeover. First the attention and service was really excellent to include a visit to my home to measure and discuss and plan the design. Bassetts provided a full range beyond my expectations to supply what I required, sourcing and providing bath wear which was not in their showroom. They have a full range of catalogues and will provide virtually anything to meet the customers dreams. Delivery was 100% with no items missing or no items requiring replaced. The have a great relationship with plumbers. They also followed up on every detail to ensure we were satisfied. Great supplier. "
"Martin Strutt is a first class manager and cant do enough to provide the customer with the products needed at the right price."
"Great company to deal with. Always available to give advice or backup. I have tried others in the past, now I would not go anywhere else."
"Fantastic service from Geraldine at the Dungannon branch. I had a cloakroom and an en-suite bathroom that I wanted to redecorate. Geraldine was able to give me lots of options in the showrooms and communicated up with me to the point where all the units arrived. Delivery men were from Bassetts, really charming and wished me well. I went for a black and white monochrome styled bathroom and had had so many compliments about it. I didn't have to think of a thing as Bassetts did all of the measurings and ordering me the essentials!"
"Recently built a new home and Bassetts Boucher Road supplied all the sanitary ware. Good quality and competitive price with great advice and support from the team. They were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We would highly recommend them."
"The staff at Bassetts are incredibly friendly and the bathrooms are spectacular! I know where I will be going when I get a house of my own!"

Senior Liberal MP Scott Morrison has reportedly confirmed that he will not contest a leadership position at Tuesday's partyroom meeting.
Sky News reporter Kieran Gilbert tweeted that the social services minister had made the confirmation to him.
"Scott Morrison has confirmed to me he won't be a contender for leader or deputy leader," Gilbert tweeted.
The Liberal party leadership is set to be decided on Tuesday after Western Australian MP Luke Simpkins confirmed he would move a spill motion against Tony Abbott.
Fellow Western Australian MP Don Randall will second the motion, bringing the recent crisis within the party to a head.
Mr Abbott has accepted the challenge, telling Chief Government Whip Philip Ruddock the motion would be discussed at Tuesday's party meeting.
Mr Simpkins sent an email to colleagues announcing he had submitted the motion to Mr Ruddock.
He said the decision to grant Prince Philip a knighthood "the final proof of a disconnection with the people".
He told Sky News colleagues around the country felt the same way.
"I think that people will want to have their say on this the opportunity to endorse the Prime Minister or endorse a new direction," he said.
"I believe I'm doing the right thing for the people of this country.
"What people are saying to me is there is a disconnect, people don't know what his plan for the future is."

Thirty-Day Results Published From SCAFFOLD Trial of Mesh-Covered Gore Carotid Stent
December 12, 2018—The 30-day results from the SCAFFOLD trial demonstrated a low rate of a composite of major adverse events (MAEs) including death, stroke, or myocardial infarction after carotid artery stenting (CAS) with the Gore carotid stent (GCS; Gore & Associates) in patients at high risk for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Peter A. Schneider, MD, et al published the findings from this first-in-human evaluation of the GCS in Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC): Cardiovascular Interventions (2018;11:2396–2404).
According to the investigators, the primary purpose of this study was the composite of MAEs through 30 days after the index procedure or ipsilateral stroke from 30 days to 1 year. The investigators hypothesized that the GCS with mesh covering may improve plaque stabilization during CAS, reduce plaque protrusion, and lead to reduced stroke rates.
As summarized in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, the prospective, multicenter, single-arm SCAFFOLD clinical trial was composed of 312 patients at increased risk for adverse events from CEA with severe carotid artery stenosis (defined as symptomatic ≥ 50% stenosis or asymptomatic ≥ 80% stenosis). The SCAFFOLD trial screening committee was implemented to determine adherence to the study protocol. Patients were evaluated for the primary endpoint of MAEs through 30 days.
Of the 312 patients enrolled, treated, and reviewed by the SCAFFOLD trial screening committee, 265 were included in the primary analysis population. The 30-day MAE rate was 3% (95% confidence interval, 1.3%–5.9%). The stroke or death rate was 1.5%. The 30-day stroke rate was 1.1%. The two deaths in the study were not stroke related.
"The 30-day stroke rate of 1.1% suggests that the carotid stent mesh covering may reduce the neurologic events associated with CAS when used in appropriately selected patients," concluded the investigators in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions.

This 50-year-old breast cancer patient knew she was going to need a mastectomy, and decided to find out about options for immediate breast reconstruction. She scheduled a consultation with Dr. Smith to get his opinion on her options for breast reconstruction in California.Dr. Smith recommended a breast augmentation using an implant and expander, so he and the patient spent some time deciding on the right implant size and shape to create the full, balanced, and natural appearance she wanted.
The patient's surgical procedure required several steps, beginning with an areola-sparing mastectomy and immediate placement of a tissue expander, a temporary implant that Dr. Smith would eventually replace with a true breast implant. Following her initial surgery, the patient returned to Dr. Smith's office periodically to have him fill the expander slowly with a saline solution so that it could gradually expand her breast tissues over time.
In a second surgical procedure, this patient had her expander replaced with a silicone gel breast implant. To balance her new look, the patient also received a silicone implant in her right breast through an inframammary incision, and had her left breast's nipple reconstructed in a nipple graft procedure.
After her breast reconstruction using Newport Beach breast implants, the patient's breasts appear natural and full. The volume and shape of her breasts fit her body type very well, complementing her slim frame without appearing too large. The patient is very happy with her results as well as her surgeon's precision and care.
Patient Age: 50

My kids had so much fun with this play recipe!
They had a blast mixing the gooey ingredients, and when they were done we had a super fun play clay to create and explore with! You won't believe what we used to make this play clay, either!
Bread Clay Recipe
- 10-12 pieces of bread
- 8 oz of school glue (we used two 4 oz bottles)
- A bowl for mixing
- Begin by cutting the crusts from the bread. I did this part for Rosie and Jewel and then set them up with a large bowl so that they could break the bread into pieces.
- Have kids rip and tear the bread over and over; the finer the crumbs the better.
- Once the bread is all broken up give kids the bottles of glue and let them squeeze them into the bowl. Rosie and Jewel had a lot of fun with that part.
- Continue to mix the ingredients in the bowl until the dough begins to form.
- If the clay feels sticky and isn't becoming pliable add more bread. Ours was a little sticky so we added two more slices of bread, and that did the trick for us.
- Once the dough is formed remove it from the bowl and knead it with your hands, sprinkling flour as needed.
Add play dough tools, cookie cutters, and other gadgets, and the fun can begin!
Adding Color to Your Clay
Want more than one color of clay?
No problem!
Divide the bread clay into bowls and add food coloring, using one bowl for each color of clay that you wish to make.
Knead the color into the dough, adding more food coloring until the desired colors are achieved.

The real IRS scandal: Reinterpreting the law
Internal Revenue Service agents have been struggling to do their jobs–which have been made essentially impossible by an incorrect interpretation of the law that the IRS made in 1959. It was then that the IRS changed the language of the law without any authority to do so. Here is how the tax law was written in its latest update in 1954 on 501(c)(4) social welfare organizations. The 501(c)(4) designation was to apply only to: "Civic leagues or organizations not organized for profit but operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare."
But a 1959 interpretation guideline written by the IRS says that: "To be operated exclusively to promote social welfare, an organization must operate primarily to further the common good and general welfare…"
With absolutely no legal oversight, the IRS changed the world "exclusively" to mean "primarily" and then the IRS never defined what it meant by primarily. msnbc's Lawrence O'Donnell explains that the tax code must be enforced with the word "exclusively" so that no political organizations would ever be able to get 501(c)(4) status. "No Tea Party organizations, no Democratic party organizations, no Republican party organizations, no Libertarian party organizations, no party organizations of any kind should ever get 501(c)(4) status and that is exactly what the law already says," O'Donnell said Wednesday night.
At his news conference, President Obama stressed the importance of enforcing clear laws. "We're gonna have to make sure that the laws are clear so that we can have confidence that they are enforced in a fair and impartial way and there's not too much ambiguity surrounding these laws."
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) officially filed a lawsuit against the IRS for departing from statute on "exclusively" for social welfare in the code. The organization's 17-page filing asks the IRS to simply enforce the law as written and to drop the IRS' false interpretation of the law.

You are hereAudiology › Audiology services › Severe / profound deafness
Specialist services: single sided deafness (SSD)
What is Single Sided Deafness (SSD), what causes it and what treatment is available?
The Single Sided Deafness (SSD) clinic is a specialist clinic for patients who have no functional hearing in one ear. The hearing in the other ear may range from normal to significantly impaired. There are a number of causes of SSD including: as a result of vestibular schwannoma surgery (sometimes known as acoustic neuroma), infection or unknown cause. There are approximately 9000 new cases of SSD in the UK per year.
- Inability to pick up sound coming from the affected side (known as the head shadow effect)
- Reduced ability to recognise where sounds are coming from (poor localisation). To tell where a sound is coming from the brain compares information for both ears. With SSD the input to each ear can no longer be meaningfully compared.
- Inability to separate background noise from target sounds. Loss of binaural processing makes it more difficult for the brain to pick out signals of interest and ignore general hubbub and background noise.
The first of these problems can be improved by use of a CROS (Contralateral Routing Of Sound) hearing aid which uses a transmitter worn on the bad ear to pick up sound coming from this direction and sends it to a receiver worn on the better hearing ear. If amplification is also required on the better hearing ear then the aid is know as BiCROS. As all the sound is still being received and processed by the better hearing ear only, difficulties with localisation and hearing in background noise remain. Both wireless and wired digital CROS/BiCROS are commonly available on the NHS.
A surgical alternative to a CROS aid is a BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid). A BAHA consists of a titanium screw which is surgically implanted in the bone just above the affected ear, with a small abutment exposed through the skin to which a vibrating sound processor is attached. The vibrations pass through the bones of the skull to the cochlea of the better hearing ear. Outcomes for BAHA and CROS aids are very similar and they have the same benefits and limitations. Funding for these devices varies by PCT and may require a special application.
Assistive Listening Devices can be of benefit if the hearing loss makes it difficult to hear alerting devices eg phone, doorbell, smoke alarm especially at night when people may be lying on their good ear. Depending on your nee.ds and where you live these can be provided by Social Services for free or purchased through a catalogue.
Lip-reading can be a useful skill to learn to help in background noise so that sounds which are not audible can be recognised visually instead. Lip-reading classes are available around the country either linked to hospitals or further/higher education colleges.
Good communication tactics are also very important to try to achieve the best possible listening conditions. These include facing the person who is speaking, trying to minimise or move away from background noise, careful positioning to favour the better ear for example tables in restaurants and modifying the environment to minimise reverberation. Being proactive in letting other people know about hearing difficulties and what they can do to help can also reduce the frustration of unsuccessful communication.
What to expect at your appointment?
The first appointment is an assessment to discuss the history of the hearing loss, the current difficulties experienced with hearing and any other related symptoms. If a hearing test has not been performed recently this will be completed along with a number of questionnaires which try to quantify the difficulties experienced. Advice will be given on any suitable devices and on communication tactics specific to the situations which are particularly hard for each person. If it is decided that a CROS/BiCROS aid would be useful arrangements can be made to have this fitted, either here or more locally. After the CROS/BiCROS fitting a follow up appointment will be arranged to check on progress and to complete the questionnaires again to obtain a before and after picture of people's experiences. Further follow up and servicing of any devices will also be arranged as necessary.
If a BAHA is found to be the most suitable option, a referral to the appropriate service will be made and the patient discharged from our clinic.
How to get an appointment/ referral criteria
You will need a referral if you would like to be seen on the Single Sided Deafness Clinic, this can be arranged via your audiologist or ENT consultant.

Here is a Spiritual revelation from the Word of God of what the Body of Christ, the ekklesia (church) should be.
Think for a moment of the chief stone that is laid in any foundation when a house or building is built. What is the answer? It is the cornerstone. The cornerstone will determine whether the structure is built aright and if the cornerstone is laid askew the whole building will also be askew. It is imperative that the cornerstone is 100% set aright; square and perfect in all respects or else the building would be unstable and fail structural requirements.
Now let us look at the ekklesia of God to see how He reveals His Body – the spiritual house to be built. In 1 Peter 2:4-9 our Father reveals the foundation of His ekklesia:
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: ~ 1 Peter 2:4-9
Christ is the perfect cornerstone – the chief cornerstone – set in His Body, the ekklesia. We, disciples of Christ, are revealed as the "lively (living) stones" that are built up a spiritual house. If we are living stones then how are we to be built? Now ask the Holy Spirit to let you see the structure taking form before you. Christ is the chief cornerstone set perfectly in all respects and all the living stones are connected to the foundational cornerstone forming a spiritual house. It is disciples of the LORD cleaving unto Christ – abiding in Christ Jesus that increases the living Body as more and more disciples are added to the chief cornerstone Jesus and the existing and increasing Bride of Christ. This is the living Body, which is the living ekklesia (the church) that is in oneness with the LORD who has all in accord with God's will and purpose.
As Christ submitted to the Father in all and total obedience whilst here on earth, so we the spiritual house built together by us living stones must also in obedience with Christ as the Head of His living Body be in all and total obedience to God the Father. Hence, we are many members, but one body and if one part mourns we will all mourn and if one part rejoices we will all rejoice.
Denominations and traditions of man have corrupted the Christian walk and there is a stern warning against the church of man (the institution) and also confirmation where God indwells His Body of Christ – the living ekklesia. We see this in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, as we learn:
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. ~ 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
The disciples (true believers) are the temple of the living God and God will dwell in them and walk in them and only those who He indwells and walks in will have Him as their God and they shall be His people. Please re-read the portion of Scripture again. Disciples of Jesus Christ, those who truly follow the Lord Jesus Christ and are obedient to all His teachings – not those who only profess Him – don't go to church, but are the church (the ekklesia). You cannot go to something that you are! God does not live in brick 'n mortar and glass buildings which have denomination rules:
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; ~ Acts 17:24,25
Here is a quote, which will challenge if you are led of the Spirit:
Jesus is the Head of the Body
Jesus is the head of the church, for it is His body and He has purchased it with His own blood (Acts 20:28). Ephesians 1:20-23, "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. The church represents Christ on the earth. The power that drives the church is the Holy Ghost and is manifested as love (Rom 5:5). Jesus must be the sole focus of all activities within the church (His body). Colossians 1:18, "And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence" (also Eph 5:23). The religious institutes of man have actually set themselves in the place of Christ. Men are looking to these organizations to save them, rather than Jesus Christ. There is a distinction here that most are blinded to and do not see. Christ scolded the church at Ephesus because: Revelation 2:4, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." Jesus must be the love of our life and our sole motivation must be to please and bring Him glory in all things. The Jews had trusted in the law to save them rather than God. They had a heartless observance and this was not God's desire. Some have a heartless "religious observance" because their heart is on the world. Woe to you because God is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb 4:12). We are not to serve buildings, personalities, or institutions. We are to serve Jesus Christ with a whole heart of devotion.
Many will say, I am of the Baptist; or I am of the Methodist; or perhaps I am of the Pentecostals (institutions – of man). Perhaps they will say, I am of Billy Graham, Charles Stanley or Benny Hinn (personalities – men); or I am of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (entities – of man). These will associate themselves with man or the institutions of man. 1 Corinthians 1:12-13, "Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" The Baptist, Methodist or whatever did not die for you, neither are they the head of the body (these are institutions of man, the Spirit brings unity, man divides). Salvation will not be found in a man (other than Christ) or a television network. We are to look to Jesus alone for our salvation. Not to doctrines, traditions, personalities, institutions, etc. Jesus Christ must be our first love and our heart must be for Him alone (Rev 2:4). Secondly we need to start putting denominational loyalties aside and look for individuals that have spiritual life and fellowship with them as members of Christ's body. Spiritual life is found in one who has yielded totally to God and seeks His will through the Holy Spirit. This one will be living a life of demonstrated faith. If we are being led of the Spirit, then we will come to understand Christ's gospel (not man's doctrines). Those who are following men such as John Calvin, Jacobus Arminius, John Wesley, Martin Luther, or whoever need to repent. You are being led by doctrines and not by the Holy Spirit. Many of the religious institutions of today are based upon what men (such as the above) believed, taught and wrote about rather than Christ – and they will argue endlessly about it (strife between denominations). God's truth is revealed through His Spirit and His Word. You may have truth, but if you do not have the Spirit, your in error. Open God's Word and seek the Spirit's guidance. All these competing doctrines and confusion could be cleared up if you will put your eyes upon Jesus and submit to His Holy Spirit.
All these groups who have named themselves and set up distinctions (of man) only prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are being led of man and not the Holy Spirit. Where is the unity in Christ's body that these religious denominations/factions presume to be (Eph 4:3)? Where is the one-mindedness (Rom 15:6, 2 Cor 13:11, Php 1:27, 2:2)? Where is the love? Man separates; the Spirit brings us to unity of purpose and understanding when we will humble ourselves and be led (obedience). This cannot and will not be accomplished through the flesh. This will only happen through obedience to the Spirit. Thus man cannot convert, direct nor control. Man can humble himself and obey and this is what God requires. In other words, God will do the leading and man will do the following (in love through faith). It is through Christ that we have access by one Spirit to the Father (Eph 2:18, 3:12) and not through man's religiosity. Man presumes much!

What is Sperm Cryopreservation?
Sperm cryopreservation, commonly referred to as sperm freezing is a procedure to preserve sperm cells. Cryopreservation can be used for sperm donation, or as a means of preserving fertility for men undergoing vasectomy or treatments that may compromise their fertility, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Cryopreservation can also be performed on eggs, more commonly known as egg freezing.
Sperm Cryopreservation Process
Step 1: Physical Examination
Patients will be screened for infection such as HIV, hepatitis or syphilis.
Step 2: Sperm Sample
The male patient will provide a semen sample through masturbation. If the patient does not produce sperm in the ejaculation, a sperm sample may be taken from his testes involving MESA, a surgical retrieval.
Step 3: Freezing and Storage
The collected sperm samples are separated into multiple containers. Skilled lab technicians will use cryoprotectant, a substance used to protect the sperm from freezing damage. The frozen vials of sperm are stored in the lab until the patient is ready to use them again.
Who should consider Sperm Cryopreservation?
- Men with advancing age
- Men with poor sperm quality
- Men with low sperm quantity
- Males who plan on seeking cancer treatment
- Pre-vasectomy patients

An eight-year-old Australian girl attempted to take her own life because bullies were making fun of her mother who was battling cancer.
The girl's mother, Richelle of Brisbane, Australia, told Yahoo7 that her eldest daughter was taken to hospital after a failed suicide attempt on Jan. 26.
"She came to us stating that she wanted to end her own life due to the bullies always winning," she said.
Richelle, a breast cancer surviver, said that her daughter was pushed over the edge after classmates started making fun of her double mastectomy and hair loss due to chemotherapy.
"After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, one girl started [bullying] because I was suffering from breast cancer," the mother said.
"She told my daughter that her mom wasn't a woman because she didn't have hair or breasts and that she would turn out the same as me."
Richelle told Yahoo7 that her daughter was born with a cleft lip and eye deformity, and has been targeted by peers over her appearance her whole life.
"She has excelled in every aspect of school life, it's just not fair, she doesn't deserve any of this," she said.
Richelle said the school and parents have not done enough to address the bullying. Despite reporting the problem to the school, she said nothing had been done and the issue had been "swept under the carpet."
"The parents haven't done anything. They're letting their kids do these things and letting them think its OK," she said.
This incident comes weeks after the death of 14-year-old former face of hat maker Akubra, Amy "Dolly" Everett, who took her life after persistent cyberbullying.
Dolly's death prompted an outpouring of grief and support against bullying from the Australian public.
In the wake of her death, Dolly's family has set up a charity foundation to help support other young victims of bullying and raise awareness about cyberbullying and youth suicide.

In radiation protection, the sievert is a derived unit of equivalent dose and effective dose. The sievert represents the equivalent biological effect of the deposit of a joule of gamma rays energy in a kilogram of human tissue. Unit of sievert is of importance in radiation protection and was named after the Swedish scientist Rolf Sievert, who did a lot of the early work on dosimetry in radiation therapy.
In Publication 60, the ICRP defined effective dose as the doubly weighted sum of absorbed dose in all the organs and tissues of the body. Dose limits are set in terms of effective dose and apply to the individual for radiological protection purposes, including the assessment of risk in general terms. Mathematically, the effective dose can be expressed as:

Halloween Sights: Old Fashioned Weapons
[Continuing the ORIGINAL Hoboken411 "Halloween Sights 2010" series…]
Weapons and blood top Hoboken Halloween choices
Walking around town, I took a quick photo of a Halloween decoration uptown including bloody hatchet hanging through a wrought iron planter. Then a little while later I saw another weapon farther downtown: can anyone guess what business has this Halloween decoration in its window?
On my walk home, I briefly wondered where the phrase "bury the hatchet" comes from. Apparently, this was a tradition among warring Native American tribal Chiefs when they finally came to an agreement with another tribe.
Doesn't seem like we'll be burying too many hatchets in Hoboken in that case!

1. I like the pulse of Sundays. After church we have a big meal, which leads to a quiet spell of reading or napping. Then the house comes alive again with walks, games and more eating.
2. I am a spectator as the big kids run in the fields, climb the tree fort, and chase the dogs. They're teenagers and 20-somethings now and how I wish time would stand still.
3. Some neighbor friends stop in so we pull out more food and Steve fires up the espresso machine. Very nice visit.
