George Soros recently made headlines for his whopping contributions to Hillary Clinton's doomed presidential bid. All told, the genius financier contributed well over $25 million to Clinton's election effort. But losing such a horrifically huge bet didn't faze Soros at all. Always composed, he didn't blink at the opportunity to continue his fight for his ideals by other means. Still largely unreported, George Soros has racked up a string of impressive victories by backing candidates in small, local elections. His favored candidates are often running for key governmental positions, positions that confer far greater real power than many people realize.
Joe Arpaio gets to know the man who broke the Bank of England
Joe Arpaio, Maricopa Country, Arizona's tough guy sheriff was the reigning incumbent for an incredible 24 years prior to his 2016 reelection campaign. The strident lawman, who bears no little resemblance to John Wayne both in appearance and mannerisms, was widely assumed to have a virtual lifetime appointment to Phoenix's top cop slot. Then a cowboy named Soros showed up in town. In the ensuing political gunfight, George Soros spent over $2 million dollars backing Arpaio's opponent, Paul Penzone. For a local sheriff's race, where campaign funding is often limited to what the candidates themselves are willing to spend along with a few well-heeled friends and organizers, the massive infusion of cash to the opposition meant Arpaio quickly found himself outgunned in his own streets.

Arpaio, perhaps the most nationally visible sheriff, had grabbed the attention of Soros through his hard-line anti-immigration stance and his perceived indifference to the plight of minorities over-represented in the criminal justice system. The controversial cop had, rather than avoid national contention, seemingly relished in it. Over his 24 year tenure he slowly rose to liberal America's most wanted man. And since it was quickly becoming clear the 84 year old would likely die in office if something wasn't done soon, they wanted to get him alive.
And get him they did. Soros' $2 million contribution was augmented by other liberal donors including Steve Jobs' widow. All told, Paul Penzone's war chest swelled to well over $3 million dollars. Despite enjoying a high approval rating and being widely regarded as competent, old Joe Arpaio stood little chance. He lost in a landslide, ending his quarter-century tenure and with it, the unapologetically authoritarian law enforcement regime that defined the Phoenix criminal justice system.
It was yet another major victory for the Soros juggernaut. From his earliest days as a fund manager, George Soros has displayed an almost supernatural knack for winning his most important battles. Despite his large and very public involvement with the Clinton campaign, he has continued to score victory after victory in smaller and arguably more strategically important battles. Whatever one thinks of George Soros, his politics or his career, what 's certain is that he's a man who must be taken with the utmost seriousness in any competition in which he involves himself. Given his track record thus far, America should expect to see many more Soros backed players taking first prize in the future.

After having scaled back on his political spending for more than ten years, billionaire investor and business magnate George Soros has resurfaced as a major backer of democratic political activism.
Specifically Soros has pledged more than $25 million to presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and other party nominees and causes.
It was in 2004 that Soros spent roughly $27 million to unseat then US President George W. Bush and later held back on his political contributions. But over the past few months, he has expressed alarm and fear over Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Soros political adviser Michael Vachon told Politico that Soros has been more active in contributing to this year's democratic party as the risks are extremely critical.
According to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) records, George Soros had donated more than five million dollars to a political action committee (PAC), which backs Clinton.
What's more Soros donated millions of dollars to boost the number of Hispanic voters in crucial swing states as well as five million dollars to a nonprofit, the Voting Rights Trust, that battles conservative attempts to restrict voting.

Soros also made contributions to Planned Parenthood Votes and to a Senate Majority PAC that advances Democratic Senate candidates.
In addition to Soros' contributions at http://www.wsj.com/articles/a-bearish-george-soros-is-trading-again-1465429163, many other benefactors have donated to various Democratic activities this election cycle such as an environmentalist, a hedge funder and two media magnates.
Born in Budapest in 1930, George Soros has focused on philanthropic efforts that also take in his international foundations. These organizations have donated more than $13 million over the past thirty years to non-profits that protect the rights everyone should have in society and build worldwide wellness programs as well as schooling.
After deciding he had enough money in 1979, Soros established the Open Society Foundation. Today the fund operates in more than one hundred countries and works to advance issues such as open society and human rights.
He is the author of more than a dozen books and his articles on politics and economics have been published in international newspapers and magazines.
According to Forbes and Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Soros is worth approximately $24.9 billion. He is the chairman of Soros Fund Management LLC, a hedge fund with a reported value of approximately $13.4 billion.

I've seen several memes floating about regarding character death. All of them begin with a picture of J.K. Rowling saying "It's hard killing off so many characters." On the lower half was a photo of another writer and their response.
George R.R. Martin: "You're adorable."
Joss Whedon: "You're new here, aren't you."
Stephen King: "I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my characters' screaming."
This is a joke (as most internet memes are) and the responses are of course fictitious. What I'm driving at here is that stories are driven by conflict. Great achievement must come at great sacrifice — such as a dead protagonist. Sacrifice comes through conflict, and conflict cannot exist without evil.
Evil doesn't always result in death. The worst evil is slow and subtle, and destroys your soul long before your body.
I advise every writer who reads this to dig inside themselves and find a shard of evil. I don't mean maniacal overlord evil, I mean preacher evil. I mean schoolyard bully evil. I mean passive-aggressive-boss evil. Something that not only exists and walks in this world; but something that knows, deep down, the pain it inflicts is just and fair.
Writing and reading is a form of escape. We live vicariously through the people and worlds we create. It's important every now and then to open the trap door, walk down into the basement, and say hello to the creature you've kept locked in the psychic cage. Some of them are abstract — from children, to purring liars, to twitching monstrosities that drool acid and hiss obscene desires directly into your brain. Imagine the same spirit in a housewife. In a friend. In a colleague. They all believe they're right. Let them show you why.
Maybe the hero will believe them, and then make the wrong choice.
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
– H.L. Mencken

In case the nerves of your tooth have been damaged as a result of an infection or degeneration, the option to saving that tooth may hinge on a root canal therapy. By keeping your all-natural tooth, you no longer have the need for an artificial tooth, retain your teeth's alignment, as well as avoid jaw problems. To ensure proper function, your tooth does not always need their nerves, so the removal using a root canal therapy from Be Well Dental will certainly not trigger any considerable damage or maybe loss of function.
The procedure of a root canal therapy can be carried out in one or a number of visits to your dentist. First, you will be provided with a local anesthetic to numb the affected area. Next, a rubber dam might be area around the area to make sure that microorganisms kept at bay. After that, a hole will be made in the tooth so as to gain access to the root canal. As soon as the infected area is reached, the pulp (nerve) is going to be cleaned out by your dental expert and the canal will be cleaned meticulously. The canal will then be filled and secured. The opening that has been created to reach the root canal will then be covered with a dental filling.
After your root canal therapy, you need to make sure to follow your dental professional's recommendations. Correct treatment is compulsory to keep a healthy mouth. After having a root canal treatment, here are six tips that you should follow.
Take Your Prescriptions
You currently understand exactly how uncomfortable it is for your tooth to be infected. As a result, it is required to take any kind of proposed prescription antibiotics as guided in order to protect against any further infection.
Take Note Of Your Pain Levels
The discomfort you feel after a root canal therapy can be treated with over the counter medicines. However, bear in mind that most people just experience discomfort for a short quantity of time. So, if you have an extended period of pain, call your dental expert instantly.
Keep The Area Tidy
See to it that you keep the tooth and gum tissues where your origin canal took place spick-and-span. You could do so by continuously brush as well as floss consistently as well as gently washing your mouth.
Beware To Not To Place Too Much Pressure On Your Infected Tooth
Your tooth will be extremely tender so be sure to not place too much pressure on it via grinding or clinching your jaw. You could want to invest in a night guard to maintain your teeth apart. On top of that, try not to eat on the side of your mouth where you had your root canal therapy.
Avoid Particular Foods
Any type of food that is hard, crunchy, or crispy must be prevented right after you have a root canal therapy. In addition, your tooth might be temporarily sensitive to cold and hot foods as it recovers, so food that have moderate or room temperatures like sandwiches are ideal.
Consider Obtaining A Crown For Your Tooth
The tooth where you had your root canal therapy will certainly stay more intact if a crown is placed after it. A crown can also stop additional complications and encourage better functionality.
If you ought to have any more inquiries or issues after your origin canal, do not hesitate to contact your dentist from Be Well Dental. Rest assured that while you could experience some initial discomfort as well as pain after a root canal therapy, this normally subsides within a couple of days. As long as you follow the above ideas and the instructions from your dental professional, you will be back to normal in no time at all!

This beach was named after Giovanni Borsetti, to popular acclaim, in 1917. Borsetti was a courageous customs official and well loved shoemaker during the time of the Kingdom of Italy.
You can still visit the ancient customs house today thanks to reconstruction which took place in the 1990s.
Casal Borsetti is now a quiet tourist location which has made of the beach, the natural surroundings and the hospitality its business card.
It is an excellent starting point for walking or cycling routes which pass through the pine forest behind the beach and lead to the Delta Park Oasis. The wide selection of accommodation and restaurants complete the appeal of this little town where the proximity to nature makes every moment spent here precious. We especially recommend the picturesque walk along the docks at night, where you can see the fishermen with their characteristic "bilancini" (weighing scales).

[Charles Olson, "Poet Maximus elder", during the Vancouver Poetry Conference, July 1963 c. The Allen Ginsberg Estate]
January 10 - 42 years ago today - Charles Olson died. We've linked already to Henry Ferrini's documentary movie, Polis Is This. His (Olson's) EPC page (out of the University of Buffalo) may be accessed here. His PennSound (University of Pennsylvania) audio recordings page may be accessed here. Storrs (University of Connecticut) is, of course, the singular repository of his archives.
Allen and he first met in Harvard in 1959, but the crucial first conjunction, perhaps, was the 1963 Vancouver Poetry Conference (at which the above shots were taken). Audio of Allen's reading at that Conference can be heard here and here, Olson's here and here. There are also a number of fascinating panel discussions, featuring not only Olson and Ginsberg but also Robert Duncan and Robert Creeley, Philip Whalen, Denise Levertov, and others.
The 1970 Paris Review interview with Gerard Malanga (at least the version published by the magazine) may be read here.

Tinea pellionella (Case-bearing clothes moth)
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Tineidae
Genus: Tinea
Species: T. pellionella
Binomial name: Tinea pellionella
Synonyms: Phalaena pellionella, Phalaena zoolegella, Tinea demiurga, Tinea gerasimovi, Tinea albella
Common names: Case-bearing clothes moth, Casemaking moth
Tinea pellionella, the case-bearing clothes moth in the family Tineidae, the fungus moths. This species has a cosmopolitan distribution, occurring nearly worldwide. It is synanthropic (live near, and benefit from, an association with humans). The adult is typically encountered during summer and early autumn, but populations that live in human dwellings may be seen at other times of the year.
Tinea pellionella is a small moth with a wingspan of about 1.5 cms. It is silvery grey to shiny light brown in colour, with dark greyish hairs on the top of its head. Its forewings are grizzled brown with one large spot and a few smaller, indistinct black spots. The hindwings are plain pale brown-grey. The forewings, but especially the hindwings are surrounded by a hairy fringe.
The larva have the rare ability to be able to eat wool, feathers and furs, and even synthetic fabrics if blended with wool, from which they can metabolize keratin into protein. It can become a pest when it feeds on carpets, furs, upholstery, and woollen fabrics.
The larvae are particularly attracted to soiled fibers, with traces of sweat, oils, or food. They also consume detritus, cobwebs, bird nests, stored vegetable produce and wallpaper. The larvae lives within a portable silk case they constructs from debris such as fibres and hairs. They enlarge the case as they grow, and finally pupate in the same case.
The adult moths do not eat, and live solely for the purpose of mating and laying eggs. Adults seek out tight spaces and can crawl through small cracks and openings to find appropriate food sources upon which to lay their eggs. Unlike many moths, they are not attracted to light.

Rochester's own Unwill released a new track "Back Again" today. "Back Again is one of the earliest songs we wrote for this record and one of our favorites to play live," says the band. "We hope you enjoy this one as much as we do!"
The band's debut album, Past Life, will be released on eOne Music/ Lifeblood Inc. on February 10th, 2017. Both "Back Again," and previously released, "Tomb" is available now as an instant grat track with preorder purchase of the album. Additionally, fans can pre order bundle purchases at the band's merch store here.
The LP Past Life will be the follow up to their 2015 debut single and video for "Calm," directed by Josiah Moore (Ice Nine Kills, Sirens and Sailors, It Lives, It Breathes). That year the band expanded its touring across the Northeast, exposing its unforgiving live performance alongside such acts as Letlive, He Is Legend and Norma Jean. Musically, Unwill has been compared to the likes of Linkin Park, Deftones, Chevelle and Underoath. But the band doesn't shy from putting its own spin on alternative rock.
The band's single "Soul" was previously released and can be heard by clicking through below.
Past Life features eleven songs that are unrelenting in their grim honesty. The album deals with themes of identity, faith, self-doubt, solipsism, regret, and the truest parts of our natures. Beneath the dark exterior of these songs, however, are shreds of light.
Within the eleven-song journey of Past Life, listeners will come across the many sides of Rocco Sylvio's voice, smooth on one end and coarse on the other. They will also hear cleaner guitars mixed in with the dirtier tones, and soaring melodies alongside unapologetic heavy riffs.

7 Things Parents and Teachers should Know about Teens
- Jul 01, 2015
- LearnPick
"Believe me, Ma'am, Organic Chemistry is just not my cup of tea!", exclaimed Farah to her Chemistry teacher, after her fourth failed attempt to memorize the formulae of organic compounds.
Farah's furrowed brows clearly revealed her disappointment during her Chemistry lessons. And, of course, it manifested itself through her poor grades in this Science subject.
An ardent lover of basketball, Farah Munir Haque was just fifteen.
Although this teenaged girl performed pretty decently in most of the other subjects, Chemistry turned out to be her major stumbling block. Despite her best efforts, she failed to balance the equations perfectly or complete her experiments successfully in the Chemistry lab at school.
Simply put, Chemistry was Farah's worst nightmare.
Why then, did this girl opt for the Science stream? Well, it is simply because she had succumbed to parental pressure. Farah's father had always dreamt that his only daughter would grow up to become a doctor.
Mr. Haque's aspirations compelled Farah to suppress her desire to pursue Commerce and take up Science instead, at the high school.
Consequently, it adversely impacted her academics, and Chemistry was the major culprit. And that was not all. This beautiful young lady spent sleepless nights, haunted by panic attacks. She developed a phobia against this subject and started avoiding it. Farah also started skipping the basketball matches organized during the physical training sessions at her school, traumatized by the fear of Chemistry.
Depression was the constant emotion that accompanied Farah everywhere and developed into her shadow!
Influence of Adults on Teens
Now, just think about it, dear parents and teachers.
Would Farah retreat into a shell had her parents been more understanding and dealt with the issue more maturely? However, I would not accuse the parents alone. Because, somewhere deep down I feel that educators, too, share a responsibility to motivate young adults to fall in love with academics.
And most importantly, teachers play a crucial role in enlightening learners about the most effectual tactics to master lessons, navigating the challenges associated with it. In this process, teachers and education administrators should contribute to a healthy 'teen-hood'.
Let me remind you, this is something parents and teaching professionals need to address jointly.
At home, youngsters spend a great deal of time with their family. On the other hand, teens are more exposed to peer groups of similar ages as well as their course instructors or teachers. Therefore, it is the joint responsibility of parents and teachers to analyze the psychology of the teens to guide them in every sphere of their lives.
family mother consoling daughter silhouette
After all, 'teen age' is similar to 'molten clay'.
Just as you can easily mold a piece of molten clay to any shape or texture as you desire, you can influence the thought processes, ideas, and eventually, the entire personality of the teenagers!
A generous comment or a pat on the back of the teens who have accomplished the smallest goal has the potential to bring about a world of difference in the lives of these young adolescents.
However, in order to achieve this objective, you should be familiar with the thought processes that are quite common among a large number of teens.
What do Teens Generally Think About?
Parents and teachers should bear in mind that young adults are extremely vulnerable — to the manifold elements of stress, peer pressure, temptation and depression. It is high time you observe teenaged students carefully and identify their personal thoughts and beliefs if you are keen to assist them in overcoming their hurdles.
I have compiled a list of some of them here.
- Contemplating about their purpose: Most teens reflect about their purpose in life. In short, they ponder deeply about their role on earth and keep questioning their self-worth. Besides, they also think about their goals and objectives.
- Thinking about their 'gifts': You must be already acquainted with the fact that every individual is blessed with a gift ever since he is born. All you need to do is realize your talent or your strength, and work on it to the best of your ability. I have noticed several teens trying to analyze their strengths.
- Seeking a 'soul connection': When people arrive at the threshold of their life known as 'teenage', they start seeking for somebody with whom they can instantly strike a connection – be it a human being or anything they can relate to.
- Striving to rise above all fears: Uncertainties and fears are common emotions that engulf the minds of maximum teenagers. These trigger in them a constant defense mechanism that compels them to struggle to wriggle out of messy circumstances or doubts.
- Pursuing their inspiration: Last but not the least, teenaged students often end up looking for 'that ideal inspiration', which awakes their inner voice.
If you are aware of these thoughts of your teen children, I am pretty certain that you are smart enough to protect them from pessimistic ideas, aggressiveness, anxiety, and all other evils.
Let me introduce to some of the popular truths about modern teens that would enable you to befriend them immediately.
#1. Teens Lie
If you are a parent of a teenaged child, I bet you are no stranger to this one.
Yes, teens do lie.
But, before you go at them hammer and tongs, let me tell you: there is definitely a good reason for their lies. Well, the only culprit that compels them to conceal facts from elders or state facts inappropriately is that they hate disappointing you. They feel threatened that their truth might create a rift between you and them, thereby breaking their relationship with you.
Therefore, they actually do not possess any intention to deceive you by being dishonest.
But they are really trying out everything in their power to protect their relationships. Because, though they might try their level best to appear confident youngsters, in reality, they are a bunch of sweet, confused, yet intelligent young things!
#2. Teens Crave for Your Company
How often has your teenaged daughter nagged you for taking her out for a movie or to a restaurant? Or, how many times do your students request you for taking them out on field trips?
Some parents or teachers might be wondering about why teens have been requesting them for such things.
I will tell you why.
Teens look for opportunities to hang around with you. Because they just crave for your company and wish to spend quality time with you. They might not confide this to you directly, since they try their best to come across as 'cool' youngsters who are born with 'emotional independence'.
Rather, it is just the opposite.
Children within the age group of thirteen and twenty are generally exhausted of the company of their electronic gadgets or their friends. For, they are constantly in the presence of their classmates who share similar tastes, choices, or interests. Or, they are surrounded by inanimate electronic appliances that provide them 'temporary pleasure'.
#3. Teens Secretly Wish You Asked Them Questions
They might be unpredictable. Violent. Social creatures. Or simply humans desiring an ample amount of 'space' and 'solitude'. Yet, they yearn for an affectionate embrace from their parents. Or a warm handshake from teachers when they display signs of progress in academics.
So even if they might appear distant, chances are they might just be faking it.
Here is the secret: they do wish you asked them questions. The questions might be focused on their daily activities at school, or their opinion about a particular movie they have recently watched. They expect parents to question them about their best friend. Or, their experience at a late night party.
Some youngsters even wish their teachers asked them about their exam preparation or their favorite subject.
Now, you might ask me: teenaged people seldom open up when they are asked questions, so how to go about it?
It is easy.
A little prodding from your end would encourage them to open their heart out. And you would thank yourself for having inquired your teenaged kids.
#4. Teens Get Bored Easily
Boredom is one of those terms that you cannot have missed if you have a teenaged child or student in your vicinity!
Two other common emotions include frustration and 'mood swings'.
Have you ever spared a thought about what causes such an intense level of boredom in teenagers?
Don't you think it is inevitable, with all those social networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and others reigning supreme in the life of maximum teens?
Technology, after all, has two sides like a coin.
And while you might be all praise for it, you obviously cannot rule out the fact that it is not free of its pitfalls. For instance, nobody can ignore the fact that your kids turn gloomy and remain so unless they see 'likes' on their 'profile picture' in Facebook. Or, till their tweets are 'retweeted' or 'favorited' or replied to.
Such a fierce obsession about the mediums of technology leads to boredom and impulsiveness among numerous users, as per the latest research findings.
#5. Teens are Addicted to Cellphones
Addiction to cellphones is yet another major trend among teens.
At times, parents and teachers might walk that extra mile to persuade teens that it is okay if they do not carry their cellphones with them every now and then.
You can formulate a set of rules that restrict them from overindulging in the luxuries of utilizing these electronic devices 24X7. For example, you can tell your teenaged kids not to use their phones in the dining room, or when they are watching a television program with the entire family.
Ensure that your home turns into a peaceful, 'no-texting' zone at certain hours and at certain places.
I am sure you would not prefer your child checking their phones every two minutes into an interesting conversation at the dinner table. So, make your rules about cellphone usage in your home, loud and clear. And remember to make the text-free duration quite entertaining, so that your kids are not tempted to check their text messages or the notifications from social networking sites on their phones!
#6. Teens Want You to Listen
Well, dear parents and teachers, my advice to both: make efforts to be really great listeners instead of trying to be 'cool' in front of your teenaged kids or learners.
If your teenaged youngster approaches you, pay heed to her.
Sit down with her for a little chat session after she returns home from school and has taken a nap. Now, with an open mindset, be all ears to everything your little teenaged darling has to share with you. She might be ready to talk to you about her crush in her class, or discuss her apprehension about her Math grades in the finals!
Whatever be the issue, please do listen patiently!
Listen to the entire experience or problem of your child. And then, ask your child about what, according to her, would be the best solution to her issue. Offer your feedback only when your daughter is ready to accept it.
#7. Teens are Rebellious
Rebelliousness is yet another common behavioral pattern of teens.
Well, it is mostly due to a sudden vacuum that might have gradually crept into their lives, albeit unconsciously. Such a vacuum might have been triggered by a communication gap between parents and children. All of a sudden, a teenage student might display symptoms of aggressiveness, like throwing tantrums during a school trip. Or, argue with parents for their permission to spend a night at her friend's place!
I would suggest you start taking it seriously. And, revitalize the souls of your teenage children by discouraging all sorts of rebellious behavior.
If your children get into the habit of swearing or behaving rudely with you at home, soon he would start practicing it with his teachers and friends at school. It would not cease at this. Your child would grow up into a jerk who loses his temper at the drop of a hat and finally gets fired by his boss at his workplace, due to such behavioral issues.
Inculcate in him the values of kindness, compassion, and respect for humanity and watch him bloom into an adorable gentleman!
These are some of the universal character traits of teens that you need to know to help them out. Teenage or 'adolescence' is a transition phase that bridges childhood and adulthood. Therefore, the impression formed on the fresh minds of teenagers is likely to have a profound impact on their conscious as well as subconscious mind. And this would, in turn, act as a foundation for their personality development and character-building.

Be sure to plan to interview FORESTER, here's a few MORE reasons why:
- Full or partial appraisals: We can help you find out what your estate is worth before anything is sold or distributed, assist in settling trusts, organize family only sales and itemized valuations for attorneys and trust officers. The purpose for many appraisals includes insurance, investment, estate or equitable distribution, liquidation, charitable gift donations and IRS of which we have provided appropriate documentation.- Full scale estate set up, tables brought in, all items located, cleaned, researched, tagged and priced, photos taken, sales advertised on-line and in local newspaper. We offer carpet protection, bring in additional lighting, music to shop by and extremely professional, friendly workers.
- We are the largest consignor of precious metals: Sterling, gold and coins. We are able to get our clients much more than if they took it to their highest buyer themselves. This is service is for FORESTER clients only.
- At the request of client, specific items can be selected from estate to sell for higher price outside the area. We have a large clientle of collectors looking to pay top-dollar for specific items. However, we prefer to keep everything in the estate for our customers, as having quality items in your sale is a great draw.
- We can sell specific items on-line, our team expert has hundreds of 100% positive feed backs on our site. This allows us to sell our clients items for much more than the individual.
- After the sale, we bring in our clean-out team to completely empty home, sweep and vacuum. NO Conflict of interest, as we allow our clients to go through what is left, or keep what ever they want before it is donated. We are not dealers nor do we have a store. They can even clean out themselves and save a few bucks. Don't have enough for sale or just want to get the house on the market? We just do clean-outs, donate to local charities and get client a receipt.
- We have a certificate for 1-million in liablity insurance, all our staff are employees with workmans compensation and we are fully bonded to protect our clients. We do nothing "under the table". These three types of insurance are a must have when hiring an estate company. Fortunately, we have never had to make a claim. Don't just ask if they are insured. Be sure whomever you hire can provide you a copy of all three insurances.

Try these out for a perfect game day snack! This is the tastiest BBQ seasoning I've ever had, and the different types of potatoes make it uniquely yours. Make sure to slice them very thin, and use the leftover seasoning on your barbecue chicken dinner!
10-15 small purple, red, and gold potatoes, very thinly sliced*
1/2 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon fine ground sea salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pinch of red pepper
*Makes 2 1/2 to 3 cups of potato chips.
1. Fill a large bowl with ice water about halfway full. Rinse potatoes under warm water, and then slice them very thin. Place slices in a small colander and let soak in ice water as you are slicing.
2. Heat the canola oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. You should use just enough oil to cover the potatoes–anymore is just too much.
3. Take about 20 slices of potatoes out of the ice water and pat dry on paper towels, then add them to the hot oil. Cook for about three minutes on each side or until browned and crispy. Remove chips from oil with a slotted utensil and place on plate of paper towels to absorb excess oil.
4. While chips are still drying, sprinkle seasoning on one side, then flip layer of chips over and sprinkle on the other side. After a few minutes they are ready to go into a serving bowl.
5. Start your second batch and continue frying until finished. Seal in an airtight container or Ziploc bag to keep fresh–if you have any leftovers!

DESCRIPTION: The rubber home is a local landmark and one of many few examples of true modern architecture in the area. We moved out of the rental as a result of it was suppose to sell and we bought our new home. My mom and older sister needed to clean the mess up. The whole house smelled terrible for fairly a while. After he left the home it was later determined that he didn't file federal taxes for 3 years with two of those years being married to my daughter. Damp partitions can affect your belongings and your well being, and it's just not good dwelling in a moist house. I am unsure what happens when you do not transfer out before the foreclosure sale, however since there is no redemption interval, I'd play it secure and ensure to get my stuff moved out before the sale. The earliest surviving images of the development site show the frame of the home with mature, wrapped, and wired trees already in place.
In that case, there is no such thing as a equity as a result of the house didn't sell for sufficient to have anything left over. Replace your salad palate with our own home mix os tremendous leaves, nuts and sprouts tossed with quinoa, crunchy sprouted broccoli and aromatic coriander. Bauhaus is taken from two German words: bauen (to build) and haus (house), and translated means Home of Building," an concept Gropius took from medieval craft guilds. Her aunt hated … Read More

Situated at One North Central Avenue in the heart of Phoenix, our campus combines the aesthetics of a gleaming high-rise office building with the high-tech/high-touch feeling of an academically rigorous educational institution.
What you'll notice first is the palpable energy: the fast-paced and organic movement of students making way between classes; the murmur of conversation as students discuss with instructors the day's lecture; the excitement and drama of mock trials being conducted. But in short order, you'll be swept up in the fast-paced rhythm too, bounding staircases to make classes, or taking elevators to meet with study groups in our quiet lounges or expansive law library. And on every floor, a panoramic view of the city, its skyscrapers and vistas serving as a reminder of Arizona Summit Law School's ties to the community and city at large.
Our diverse population includes students raising families. While Arizona Summit Law School doesn't have on-campus child care services, there are a number of options in the surrounding area.

Asus is set to officially launch the Padfone 2 on October 16, during a simultaneous event in Milan, Italy and Taipei, Taiwan. Besides a set of benchmark figures, little is known about the final spec of Asus' follow-up to the unusual Padfone, however a few leaks this week have added a little color to the picture.
The most recent comes from a Japanese site, which spotted a spec list for the Padfone 2 on the NCC's website — that's Japan's communications regulator — which stated the Padfone 2's model number as A68, and that it would come with dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and NFC.
This joins a leaked image of the Padfone 2's packaging, which backs up the A68 model number (the original Padfone's model number is A66, by the way), and that it will be powered by a 1.5Ghz, Qualcomm 8064 Snapdragon processor.
A quad-core Snapdragon chip was featured in the early benchmark figures, so it's great to see it listed again, as the exciting Qualcomm APQ8064 is the company's first foray into the world of quad-core chips, and is set to make its debut in the LG Optimus G very soon.
Questionable sources
If this is correct, then the Padfone 2 is shaping up to be the second device to use the incredibly powerful processor, which given the phone section is the "heart" of the Padfone's phone/tablet/laptop setup, it needs all the help it can get.
The spec list, which concentrates on the smartphone, continues with a 13-megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, a 1.2-megapixel forward facing camera, LTE connectivity and a 4.7-inch, high definition touchscreen. It's here where the validity of the leaked picture is called into question, as the screen is described as being both a Super AMOLED panel and a Super IPS LCD, both of which are completely different technologies.
Every rumor should be viewed with skepticism, but when blatant errors like this are on display, one has to treat it as being entirely fabricated. Shame, as the possibility of that Snapdragon S4 Pro chip was very tempting indeed. On the subject of questionable sources, Digitimes.com also says the Padfone 2 will use a Qualcomm quad-core processor, and that Google Android 4.1 will be used instead of Android 4.0 as originally expected.
So, we'll keep hoping for both the quad-core Snapdragon and Android 4.1, and wait for all to be revealed on October 16.

there are many other valuable ores, such as Silver ores. Unless you know what to look for, you could pass it up!
The Patent Pending CrazyCrusher is not just a crusher to crush ore samples with! Although that is the original design, it can also be used by the hobbyist to crush rocks to a size suitable for tumbling and polishing. It can also be used to crush CPU chips to recycle the gold. In addition to that, it works great to crush glass to a powder for smelting operations, easily and safely. Also your black sand concentrates for further extraction of fine gold.
Invest in a tool that you can use both at home, in the lab or out in the field! It's that versatile and built to last!
Ideal for areas that you can make mineral discoveries, but not allowed to run motorized equipment due to ecological laws or fire codes.
Our CrazyCrusher is 100 percent steel, and it is 100 percent made in the U.S.A.!
While other crushers with motors, and although they are the same size can and does cost $1,000 and up to over $4,000 for a bench sized lab crusher!

Sixty years ago plastic was an exotic development of modern chemistry. Today it is the most widespread human-made substance in the world. More than 250 billion pounds of raw plastic pellets are produced from petroleum feedstock every year. It is everywhere, in places you never imagined: computers and cell phones; packaging; food and drink containers; home furnishings and building materials; cars, trucks, airplanes and boats; children's toys and beauty products.

I'm still running on fumes, so please forgive the dearth of posts lately. Our new classroom is almost ready.
I'm fortunate that I'm at a school that gives its teachers an amount to spend on their kids and classroom. Still, it's amazing how quickly supplies add up.
Living in Seattle, one has to prepare for "Rainy Day Recess" and one activity many of the children (and grown-ups) enjoy is playing with Lego.
A table like this one
will cost close to $300. It'd be nice to make that money go further, especially since there are always curricular resources and supplies that need to be purchased as the year progresses.
Well, here's what I did. I took two "Lack" tables at IKEA ($9.99 each). Built the first table as is, attached casters to the second table top (no legs), and then attached them with velcro (yes it really works). I already had 3 base plates, so I only had to purchase one more – ($6.99) and affixed it to the top of the table with contact paper and some double sided tape. Oh … I had some extra wire baskets that came with some of the new classroom furniture that was just lying around too.
Here is the result:
So, for less than $30 (10% of the cost of the table above, I was able to make my own. Our school's mission statement's values mention being respectful, responsible, and resourceful – I think this project qualifies for the latter – perhaps more $$ can go to lego purchases. They are not a cheap toy.
And, when separated from each other you have a lovely side table and a nice dolly if you should need it.

There is nothing special about this man-made date but yet it does offer opportunity to pause and think, about the past year and the one to come. So it's in meditative mood that I consider 2012 in Zac's Place.
It was a year in which nothing changed and everything changed. We ended as we began doing a weekly bible study (tribal gathering) during which anything can and sometimes does happen. Like a couple rolling in, midway through the study, dressed only in the paper suits they'd been given after the police had taken their clothes for forensic examination following a stabbing. Just another week.
Consistency isn't really a word I'd associate with Zac's yet there has been some this last year. Whereas when I first started going the 'congregation' would change on a regular basis we now have our core band of regulars who come, plus others who are frequent visitors as well as the the caller-inners. And our regulars are a real mixed bunch: from those who've been Christians for as long as they can remember to those who've rediscovered what they once had to those who are still searching; from those with a good knowledge of the bible to those who can't understand why we keep talking about Jews; from those with a strong faith to those with none; from those who are fairly obviously messed up to those who are better at keeping it hidden. The one thing we all have in common is Zac's. And I suppose a spiritual thirst.
And it is these people that make Zac's what it is, that give it its character, that colour it red and purple and black but never grey. It's for these people - and because of them - that Zac's exists, to nurture, encourage, pray for, pray with, stand alongside, feed, respect and love.
In a world where many fail to find either respect or love, Zac's offers a safe refuge, level ground, a place where the weary can rest, the weak can find strength and the unlovely find love.
Getting several mentions in one of the Archbishop's farewell speeches as well as being promoted nationwide as an example of alternative church as well as interviews with Sean on BBC radio and Sean speaking at various unlikely conferences has given Zac's a fame (in some circles!) of sorts and if more places like it rise up then it will be for the good but what happens outside isn't really what matters inside, from the floor.
2012 was the year that Avril and Kay were baptised - and Avril is still clinging on, desperately. It was also the year that Baz, one of our stalwarts, died suddenly. Other friends associated with coffee bar at Zac's also died. But others have gone to rehab. Like any year it's been a mix of good and sad, funny and tragic.
|Baz and Di celebrated their 25th anniversary in Zac's a few years ago
Just like the mix of ragamuffins that we are: crazy, bad, hopeless, hopeful, angry, determined, upbeat, downbeat, weak, wounded souls. Souls who need cherishing. But blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven.
A new year and a new adventure begins tomorrow. We're going to try having a monthly Sunday meeting, something some of us been keen on for years, to meet a need for those who find 'normal' church an unwelcoming or untruthful place. Sean is going to be taking time out to write his book leaving others of us to run occasional studies in his stead. And those are just the planned changes. God only knows what He has in mind for Zac's in 2013 but I have a feeling it will be wonderful, amazing, encouraging, and life-affirming. And I want to be in there for every bit of it.
Happy New year, Zac's! I look forward to enjoying the adventure with you all.

Oceanfront Condos
Different agencies offer many affordable waterfront real estates to suit the tastes of different people. These real estate agencies cater to the needs of those who want to live either in an affordable waterfront home or in a luxurious condominium overlooking the ocean.
One of the most famous types of waterfront property is the oceanfront condo where people can marvel at the beauty of the ocean directly from their windows. The distant sounds of the waves crashing the shore are sure to make them feel a different kind of comfort.
The views during the day and at night are also among the perks of living in this type of condo unit. The owner can have a better view of the night sky with the constellations being more visible.
The real long-term value of oceanfront condos is a wise investment especially for workers who are planning to retire. The appreciation value of these kinds of properties tends to increase more than those of the average properties in the city.
Some adventure lovers have seen another purpose for oceanfront condos.
Instead of investing a large amount of money in buying one, a lot of people decided to just rent one and spend a luxurious vacation.
However, regardless of the person's purpose, finding oceanfront condos that will satisfy the tastes of the buyer is not an easy task. No matter how desirable it is to own one, it may be a disappointing experience if he rushes into buying a unit. It is crucial to consider several factors to make the perfect choice that will allow one to experience the luxury of
living in oceanfront condos.
The market is another thing to look at. People generally don't live in theiroceanfront condos all year long. It can be best to rent it out on days when no one is living on it. This is the reason why having beach condos are considered good investments. The buyer should purchase a property in an area where tourists regularly visits.
It is also best to seek the help of a real estate company in deciding what beach condos are available in the market and the best locations to purchase the mentioned properties. Do not be contented with asking the help of just one company. Ask as many real estate agents as possible to have a proper view on the price range and features of beach condos.
It is also advisable for a potential buyer to talk to agents who specialize in beachfront properties since these kinds of properties are different from the regular houses found in cities.
Beach condos are absolutely making a name in the market. May it be for a little vacation or for a life-long experience, oceanfront condos can offer a wonderful experience for whoever decides to invest on them.

Film Review: 21 Jump Street
Natalie Stendall
Posted on March 19, 2012
Remember 21 Jump Street? The original was a late 80s undercover cop drama that gave Johnny Depp street cred as a teen idol. Here it is recast with Jonah Hill (Superbad, MoneyBall) and Channing Tatum (The Vow) as two new, naive cops with very different skill sets, sent undercover as high school students to identify drug suppliers.
As clever Schmidt (Hill) dreads the return to high school, where he was labelled a nerd, Jenko (Tatum) relishes the idea of returning to his days as a cool and popular jock. But, in true comedy style, the pair mix up their identities and find that in the seven years since they graduated, high school is a very different place.
Just when high school comedies where drifting from tired to downright exhausted, 21 Jump Street has leapt onto the big screen with a refreshingly new take on the genre. Furthering Glee's notion that 'different' is the new 'cool', 21 Jump Street's popular students are those with a passion for the environment, good causes and who wear their backpacks with two straps.
Hill and Tatum work perfectly together as unlikely friends whose bromance begins when they realise they can unite their strengths to pass the Police exams. Both bring a charm and charisma that makes their characters loveable and the film irresistible. Ice Cube also puts in a hilarious performance as the pair's uncompromising boss.
21 Jump Street is incredibly funny. Gags are fired out in such quick succession that the film moves along at an incredible pace. Whilst the most insightful jokes often result from the characters themselves, some real guffaws come from slapstick action sequences. There's also a nod to the video-game style screen shots from writer Michael Bacall's Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
Refreshingly imaginative and hilariously perceptive, 21 Jump Street is the best comedy to hit the big screen in a long time. Don't miss it.

This paper gives a pictorial view of the relevance of lean thinking, particularly the application
of muda as a supplement to the sustainable improvement diagnosis technique of existing public office buildings,
for a fuller assessment of users' requirement in Nigeria. The impact of perceived muda was related to the triple
bottom line of sustainable development on perceived job productivity and design features and estimated from endusers'
perspective, using diagnostic POE as data acquiring tool, while the confirmatory analysis was done through
AMOS, SPSS and MS Excel to explain the relationship between the different variables. The findings showed that
muda is inherent in public office buildings and it has highly significant causal effects of 0.66 and 0.76 respectively
on perceived job productivity and design features; it also has strong effect sizes of 44% and 58% in explaining both
their variances respectively. The result revealed that users require more improvement in facilities as against spatial
plan and structures, while there is a medium and positive correlation of 0.48 between perceived job productivity and
design features – implying that improvement in design features will consequently lead to improvement in perceived
job productivity. The study concludes that lean thinking is relevant to building improvement and could serve as good
supplement to the current improvement diagnosis of existing public office buildings, but not as a substitute since
data were only collected from users who are not able to provide the required technical data that would otherwise
warrant use of equipment.

The important question of whether our choices can alter our fate is the eternal riddle of these fascinating and timeless myths.
Designed for children in grades K-8, but all are welcome.
This event is approximately 60 minutes long.
Tuesday, May 28, 2013
Show starts at 6 P.M. Doors open at 5:30 P.M.
