Water Filtering
Water Filtration Services In Round Rock
Call The Round Rock Plumbing Team: 512-253-4393
Water is vital for our survival and unfortunately in the past years this water has become polluted. Industrial pollution and the discharge of industrial wastes into the rivers have affected not only the quality of drinking water but also that of bathing water. Impure water causes many diseases and as a consequence several companies have come up with healthy, affordable solutions such as replacement water filters. These filters come in different sizes and shapes and they were created in order to suit every budget. A popular method of removing impurities from water is reverse osmosis and people seem to buy reverse osmosis.
The great thing about replacement water filters is that they can be installed or removed at any point of time, without much difficulty. These filters are flexible, compact and powerful despite of their small sizes. Most water filters are not only eliminates the impurities in the water but also the bacteria and germs. However, replacement water filters must be changed frequently so that there is prevailing of bacteria and impurities. Due to the fact that they have gained a sudden popularity, these filters are very affordable and easily available in the market.
Call The Round Rock Plumbing Team: 512-253-4393
Many companies have started to focus on replacement water filters because people have started to depend on them since they are easy to install and so handy. The water filter can be placed anywhere you want, whether it is a tap, pitcher or a faucet. A simple way of establishing whether or not you need replacement water filters is verifying if the sink begins to loose water pressure; this usually happens when the filter is clogged with dirt or other sediments and it's an indication of the fact that it needs to be changed. Although some filters can be washed out and reused for a while longer, if a filter stops less than 5 microns from escaping the filter its replacement is a must. It is recommended to use replacement water filters before the water you use starts to taste or smell bad.
Another way of obtaining pure water is to buy reverse osmosis filters. Reverse osmosis is a water treatment process in which water is forced through a membrane with small holes. You should buy reverse osmosis filters because they easily dissolve minerals that cause hardness, chemicals and other impurities. Also, reverse osmosis improves the quality of your water and it will remove contaminants such as chromium, mercury and nitrates.
Although some people claim that you shouldn't buy reverse osmosis devices because this procedure eliminates the minerals that are in the water and which are vital to our body, the pros for using such filters are far more numerous than the cons. If you buy reverse osmosis, you should be aware of the benefits such as: removal of contaminants and heavy metals, no use of electricity, provides fresh water at a reasonable cost. The downside is the fact that it is possible for a few microbes to slip through and reverse osmosis removes the fluoride from the water.
To conclude, it is essential to have fresh water for you and for your family and this is why you need replacement water filters. Our main goal is to make sure that you rely on the best products in order to purify the water you use. We also recommend you to buy reverse osmosis filters.

So far over this last year, Congress has stated multiple times in multiple voices that Health Care is a "Right" and I have a "Responsibility" to buy insurance to cover my medical expenses so that my fellow citizens are not burdened by them. This was backed up by the President of the United States when he signed the legislation passed by the Senate in December and the House of Representatives on Sunday.
The new law also states that if I do not live up to my responsibilities of purchasing said insurance, that I will have a fine levied upon me.
Not in the most leftist history class was I ever instructed that fines could be levied upon "Rights".
However, if this is the new rule, than I am correct to understand that more legislation is in order.
We have a right to keep and bear arms. Bill of Rights, Amendment #2.
According to the new rules on "Rights", this means that each and every citizen now has a "Responsibility" to purchase a firearm so that they may "Keep and Bear" it, lest their fellow citizens be burdened with having to put themselves in danger by defending those who are not responsible enough to purchase their own.
To not file new legislation as an Amendment to the new law and vote FOR it under the now ongoing "fixing" of the new law, is to either be the ultimate hypocrite or admit that fines cannot be levied upon those who do not wish to pay for use of their "Rights".

Prozac for cats has been the miracle drug for many pet cats facing the particular possibility associated with euthanasia or abandonment, saving them from a bad end, along with giving them this life they deserve.
Even though they have a reputation to get independent along with self-sufficient, many felines manifest behavior issues or negative habits which requirement attention.

Some cease while using litter box.
Others use your litter box for elimination reasons but additionally mark their own territory applying urine or fecal matter. One such incident where some sort of couple had brought home a new baby, the particular cat was inappropriately urinating on everything.
After a couple of weeks and keeping the litter box clean, the cat stopped. However, when they brought home their second baby, the particular inappropriate elimination and urination became very bad, in addition to didn't stop, even after several weeks.

Meals at Shakerag Workshops have been a highlight of our program from the very first year. This year will be no different, given our continued interest in using local foods and buying from local farmers as much as possible. We love planning what we will be eating in June – thinking about the balance of options at meals, trying new recipes, making sure that we use old favorites – our planning committee's discussions about food are among our favorite meetings!
Sarah Gunn, chef and long time Sewanee community member, will be heading up our cooking staff this summer. Sarah grew up here in Sewanee, and she is an artist known for her elaborate cake designs and the delicious meals she served at the Sewanee Writers Conference. From a family full of artists, musicians, and mountain naturalists, Sarah is excited to be planning for our Shakerag meals. We are eager to see what new menu ideas Sarah will bring to our table – and we will make sure to include some of our Shakerag favorites too.
We plan fabulous meals fit for carnivores, vegetarians, pescatarians, vegans, gluten free folks ... Shakerag loves you all and will provide plenty of healthy choices at mealtime. Breakfast will include fresh eggs, seasonal fruit, oatmeal, local grits, toast, homemade jams, and locally roasted fair trade coffee. You can always build a salad at lunch with fresh organic lettuces, tomatoes, kale, swiss chard, quinoa, and grilled tofu, topped with a homemade dressing, or stack a sandwich on Ginger's sourdough bread. Dinners promise to be bountiful with plenty of your favorite Shakerag recipes returning – Frank Stitt's Pea Cakes, Hugh Acheson's Hominy Stew, and others which we have developed over the years. We hope that you will be pleased with our food and will enjoy eating at Shakerag as much as we do.
Some of our favorite recipes:
Shakerag Homemade Granola
Heat 1 cup water to 1/4 cup honey. Remove from heat. Add the following: Oats, walnuts, almonds, & sunflower seeds. Stir. Bake at 300 for 5 min. Stir in raisins.
Caramel French Toast Casserole
from Elizabeth Koella
1 loaf french bread (I used homemade Challah)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp Karo or Maple syrup
6 eggs
1 and 1/2 cups milk
1 tbsp vanilla
Melt butter and brown sugar and syrup over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then pour into 9 x 11 casserole, coating the bottom. Slice bread into 1 inch widths, and arrange over caramel mixture. Mix eggs, milk and vanilla and pour over the top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and cover with plastic. Refrigerate overnight. Uncover and bake at 350 F for 45 minutes. Serve with fresh fruit. I drizzled a bit of cream over the top after baking.
Falls Mill Grits
Proportions: 3 parts water to 1 part grits
Rinse grits in bowl with water. Stir. Pour off water and chaff, reserving grits. In a heavy-bottomed pan, boil 3 cups water and salt. Add rinsed grits. Bring to a boil again. Turn heat down to low. Cover. Simmer for about 20 minutes.
Quick Cooking Oats and Other Rolled (or flaked) Grains
from Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
3 cups water
1 1/4 cups rolled grains
Bring water to a boil, and stir in the grain. Lower the heat and simmer until the cereal is thickened, about 5 minutes. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Hines Hickory-Smoked Ham
from How America Eats by Clementine Peddlefurd
Shakerag Chef: Anne Griffin
note from Anne: The key to this recipe is the ham itself - my favorite is Bingham Ham (out of Nashville) or Clifty Farms (more easily found). There may be others as good but not just any ham will do!
1 hickory-smoked ham
6 medium onions, sliced
2 3/4 cups brown sugar
2 cups cider vinegar or cooking wine
2 bay leaves
24 whole cloves
1 cup dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon ground cloves
Cover ham with cold water; soak 1 to 3 days, changing water frequently. Scrub ham, place on rack, skin side down in large kettle. Cover with cold water. Add onions, 2 cups brown sugar, vinegar, bay leaves and whole cloves. Bring to boiling; simmer 20 to 25 minutes per pound. When small bone at hock end can be twisted out, ham will be done. Let ham cool in water. Remove skin; cut off some of fat. Score fat. Mix remaining 3/4 cup sugar, bread crumbs, mustard and cloves. Pat on ham, while fat is moist. Bake at 400 F for 25 minutes or until ham is glazed and brown. Cut ham in very thin slices when serving.

|The swim course the day before the race
I traveled to St. Andrews feeling well rested and confident the recent flare up with my left hamstring wouldn't adversely effect my race. The forecast was calling for cool temperatures (14-16 degrees) with a high percentage of showers, which was cause for concern for most athletes, but it didn't bother me too much because I race better in cool weather.
Swim: 29:32 (1900m)
The swim is a counter clockwise loop that is very easy to navigate. Males and females went off in separate waves which meant that overcrowding wouldn't be too much of an issue. The water temperature was close to 20 degrees meaning it would be a wet suit legal swim. When the gun went off I quickly found a good rhythm. During the swim (unlike the bike and run) you really have no gauge of how well you are doing other than where other swimmers are in relation to you. That said, I felt as if I was swimming well, and at each turn buoy fellow Cape Bretoner Chris Milburn (who is typically faster than me in open water) was just a few meters ahead of me - which reassured me that I was swimming efficiently and sighting well. I exited the water in 20th place overall - 12 seconds faster than in 2014, which I was very happy with.
Of all the triathlons I've completed, St Andrews has, without a doubt, the longest and most challenging T1. It involves a run up a steep hill of approximately 600 meters. I navigated my way up and out onto the bike course as efficiently as possible in a time that was 15 seconds quicker than in 2014. I had the 10th fastest time in T1, and moved up from 20th to 16th place by the beginning of the bike leg.
Bike: 2:30:21 (90k)
By looking at my T2 time in comparison to everyone else (4th overall), most would think that my T2 was efficient and uneventful. It was very efficient, but unfortunately it was eventful - almost disastrous. As I was approaching the dismount line I did as I always do and undid the straps on my bike shoes and peddled the last 100m or so with my feet on top of my shoes. Unfortunately, on my last peddle stroke my left shoe started to drag on the ground, which caused my bike to tip to the right. Somehow I was able to get both feet to the ground just in time before falling over. I'm not saying this would have ended my day, but had I fallen it definitely would have adversely effected my run. I parked my bike in T2 feeling as if I had "dodged a bullet."
Run: 1:26:23 (21.1k)
My plan leading up to race day was to attempt to maintain a 4:10/km pace for the run. If I was able to achieve this, it would be 6 seconds faster/km than I had ever run at the half distance. When I reached the first turnaround point of the double out and back course I was right on target and I learned that I was now in 7th place overall. It was a that moment that I figured if I could maintain my current pace that I could crack the top 5 - which was another goal of mine going into the race. As you'll see in the picture below, my pace stayed very closer to my goal pace, and I was actually able to pick it up a bit over the last few kms. With 2km to go, I moved into 5th place, and in the last 200m I was able to out-sprint the guy in 4th, which was an added bonus!
Overall time: 4:31:28
I crossed the finish line feeling incredible. Not only was it a personal best for me at the half distance, I honestly don't think it could have gone any better - which is not something I can say very often! And to top things off, my good friend and training partner Corey Deveaux (who had crossed the line in 2nd place about 10 minutes earlier) was at the finish line cheering me on. Shortly after, two other friends/training partners, Chris Milburn and Andreas Burger crossed the line, followed by the remaining Cape Bretoners in the race. It was fantastic to be able to celebrate with such a great group - including Lisa who, despite having a work schedule all winter that was not conducive for consistent training, completed the aqua-bike (1900m swim/90k bike). I couldn't have been more proud!
|Top 5 accepting our Club Championship Award!
If you've never done Challenge St. Andrews, I highly recommend it! Other than a lengthy T1, it's a fantastic course. In addition, it is very well organized and accommodations are quite reasonable. For more on the race, including all of the Cape Breton results, click here.

Peachee Easy
Here's a fun and easy project to make. I bought some of those large peachee's like the kind we use to use for each different class subjects. I covered both front and back with print paper, added a piece of lace down the binding. I used my Martha Stewart Scrapbooking Punch across the top of the pockets to add another lacey look. A little shear ribbon, buttons, tags and flowers added that little something extra. I tucked a few 7gypsies Scrapbooking Ancienne Ephemera Cards and some cards I made out of Graphic 45 Domestic Goddess Collection paper into the pockets. These "Peachee Easy" books make fun gifts as journals for a friend or two so give them a try.

Paper Roses
Back in the 70's I use to make these Paper Roses. Of course back then I made them out of construction paper and now with the beautiful scrapbooking paper available you can make them to match your projects or layouts. I love that they are back in. I forgot though, how much time it takes to make just one. From cutting the petals out to gluing the last one on only took me..... 35 minutes for one full rose. yikes! I'm working on making a video of how to make them but I'm going to have to get faster at it. :)

A Sign of "LOVE"
I enjoy these types of Scrapbooking projects. I started with individual wooden letters that I covered front and back with vintage style paper. I added a metal key and lock, and stamped for some accents. I then inked and faux stitching the edges. The center of the "O" has a clear piece acetate which I stamped words of love on. I finished up by gluing the letters together so they would stand on their own.

Happy Thoughts
A group of friends of mine came up with an idea to put together a box with "Happy Thoughts" for a dear friend that was going through a rough time. They asked if I could make the box and I was happy to do so. Everyone added their own "Happy Thoughts" for her to read when she is down. We could all use a box of happy thoughts from time to time, so consider make one for someone you know who needs a pick me up.

Wilco Airbus Series Vol 1
by Dave Gorman
Airbus Anyone?
Following on from their success with
the A300 series, European aircraft consortium Airbus set
their sights on a single-aisle short to medium range
passenger airliner to rival the Boeing 727 and 737,
whose dominance in that market was more or less
universal. The result was the Airbus A320, with Air
France launching commercial services in March 1988. The
A320 featured a number of pioneering features for a
civil airliner, most notably fully digital fly-by-wire
flight control systems and a fully glass cockpit. It was
also the first time that composite materials had been
significantly used in a narrowbody airliner, and the
ECAM (Electronic Centralised Aircraft Monitoring)
concept, allowing all of the main aircraft systems to be
monitored from the two glass screens in the centre of
the cockpit. After the rise in oil prices in the late
1970s, Airbus also made the aircraft very efficient; in
fact the A320 burns 50% less fuel than its old
competitor, the B727. Airlines snapped them up as more
aircraft were added to the A320 family, specifically the
A319, A321 and most recently the A318, the aircraft went
on to become the second-best selling jet airliner family
of all time (after the Boeing 737).
PSS were responsible for the first
real incarnation of the A320 series in FS. A320 Pro for
FS2002 was a big hit when it came out, and with the
patch for FS2004 it remains a favourite for many Airbus
fans (yours truly among them) nearly 6 years on. A320
PIC from Wilco was the next proper simulation, but the
lack of a 2D panel and a questionable visual model
resulted in a product that was less popular than the PSS
version. Now, Wilco are back with the Airbus Series Vol
1 – an advanced simulation of the A318, A319, A319CJ (bizjet
version), A320, and A321. So it's good value, if nothing
else. The Deluxe version also comes with a nice
JustPlanes compilation video. I had a look to see if my
old favourite finally had a worthy opponent.
I'll be honest and tell you that I
have, in fact, had it for a while but have only just got
it working. The MCDU had an annoying habit of causing
FS9 to crash when I tried to use it. Oh well, After SP3a
and a fresh new AIRAC the old girl's up and running and
I'm enjoying it.
The installation process is simple,
as long as you make sure you have the latest patch
installed. Also, Wilco say it's a good idea to delete
the fmgc.cfg file after installation and each navdata
update to prevent crash-to-desktops. Users of the
download version don't get the extra liveries (you will
get them if you buy the boxed package from Just Flight) but they
are available for free from Wilco. What you do get,
however, in addition to the aircraft models and base
liveries, are a range of very useful utilities for the
A320 series. The Configurator, as it is called, contains
a Configuration setup utility (also available from the
Aircraft menu in FS), a Load Manager, a Fuel Planner,
and a utility for setting custom keyboard commands. I
was pleased with this – load managers and fuel planners
particularly are a must for any payware addon in my
Upon loading the aircraft in FS, the
first thing I noticed is how nice the panel looks. PSS
may reign supreme in that department but not even their
A320 panel is a match for 6 years' worth of new
technology. Instrument legibility is exceptional and all
of the LCD displays have a very high (but sadly
non-adjustable because it does hit FPS) refresh rate. A
lot of the buttons you will find on the panel are just
eye-candy but for the most part the panel is functional
and easy to use. The LCD displays can be called up for a
larger view although the only one that ever really needs
it is the lower ECAM display. The ECAM buttons would
have been better attached to it though, they are
currently located on the centre pedestal so looking at
the ECAM actually requires two extra windows to be
called up. It's no big deal though, and I prefer it to
the full-screen panel of PSS fame. One small bug I found
in the panel is that when you load the panel in a Cold
and Dark state, although the engines are turned off the
ignition switches both remain in the On position – it
can be a nasty surprise when you put the knob into IGN/START
mode! One other thing I found strange was the lack of a
weather radar in such a modern product, particularly
when FeelThere already have the technology in their 737.
Moving into the VC (and Virtual
Cabin), the pleasing appearance is kept up. I found the
VC a bit hard on the FPS, although it was still usable
for me, and the virtual cabin is good too. Needless to
say, switches are fully clickable and functional in the
Externally, the model is good but to
be honest the freeware models from IFDG and Project
Airbus are better, albeit without virtual cockpits. The
liveries also lacked some small details, but for the
most part were reasonably accurate and it's hard to
complain when they're free. The paintkit leaves a lot to
be desired, so all things considered the painters did a
good job. I have a problem with the engine fan blades
when the engines are on though, the textures seem to
flicker a lot. Again though, it's not a big problem
because I spend most of my time in the cockpit. If
you're willing to dispense with the virtual cockpit and
cabin though, it would perhaps be a good idea to switch
to the freeware models; without the VC/Cabin they will
be a bit easier on FPS too.
The sounds are as good, if not
better, than the PSS sounds. The CFM engines in
particular have a distinctive hum from the cockpit at
full throttle, and the IAE engine sounds are well-done
too. Again though, it's no big deal if they're not to
your liking because there are replacements on Avsim for
both of them, with the freeware CFM offering being
particularly good. Aside from the engines, there are
also sounds included for the APU and air conditioning
packs among other details, and the end result leaves the
cockpit sounding very alive and realistic. However, I
was a bit disappointed to find that no co-pilot callouts
(80kts, V1, Rotate, etc) were included when this is
pretty much a standard feature in payware addons now.
The FDE threw up a few problems when
the package first came out, but they seem to have been
mostly corrected now because it handles pretty well for
me. It's certainly better than the PSS one. The
fly-by-wire systems on the Airbus make it very easy to
hand-fly and that is something that Wilco has modelled
well. The FMGC handles aircraft movements well, although
it does seem to have some trouble with sharp turns
(anything over 65 degrees really) but whether or not
this is realistic I don't know. I also found that it
seemed to have some trouble keeping its speed down on
approach. The spoilers tend to be a bit reluctant to
deploy via the / key sometimes too. There were also some
very annoying bugs I found in my time flying the
aircraft. Sometimes for no reason at all the aircraft's
speed would shoot up to somewhere around 400KIAS,
setting off all kinds of warning buzzers, in the climb.
Keeping to the 250kt speed limit under 10,000ft is
nigh-on impossible, and the nose has a tendency to drift
upwards after takeoff. Also, a well-known problem has
the nose lurching towards the ground on finals. Hard to
replicate though, and Feelthere still haven't fixed it.
For the most part, however, the FDE is a very good one
and a credit to those who made it, especially when
fly-by wire is so difficult to model in FS.
Wilco say that this is a frame-rate
friendly product, but I can assure you I didn't find it
as smooth as they imply. It's OK without scenery and
with few clouds, but crank up the weather or add some
scenery like UK2000's Manchester and the FPS plummet. As
I stated earlier on, you can always give up the VC for a
less-demanding freeware model. One thing that would have
been nice for those with slower systems is a utility to
adjust the refresh rate of the panel displays, as the
high refresh rate on them may cause problems on slower
The PDF manuals of the Wilco download
package are pretty good too. There is a useful Pilots
Guide along with specifications, standard procedures and
checklists for all of the models included. The
Checklists and Procedures document is a particularly
worthwhile read.
So, what about conclusions?
Throughout this review I have been comparing this
package to the ever-brilliant PSS rendition of the same
aircraft, as I'm sure many Airbus fans will end up doing
if they are thinking of buying this package. It's been
hard trying to decide if this package is as good, or
better than, its old school opponent, but my feeling at
the moment is that – dare I say it – it is. It's a close
call but it's hard to resist the crisp panel, great
sounds, and good FDE of the newcomer over the older PSS
package. Whether or not you are an Airbus addict this
package is definitely worth trying out, whether you
loved the PSS addon or this is your first step onto the
Airbus experience from a Boeing, Cessna, or anything
else. If this is your first time in a "real" Airbus,
just remember to be patient because mastering the Airbus
can take some time especially if you are used to flying
Boeings. Practice makes perfect though, and the end
result can be very rewarding indeed.

St. John Primary (SJP) and St. Theresa Middle (STA) provide an atmosphere for intellectual and spiritual growth, while promoting learning as a life-long process. The school endorses a curriculum that exposes students to various disciplines, encourages academic excellence, and prepares the student to develop leadership roles. Our faculty and staff are committed to the religious and academic education of each child to his or her full potential. We work in partnership with parents, the primary educators of their child, to guide each child through instruction that promotes acceptance, tolerance, love, individuality, inquiry and success. SJP and STA do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin.
Academic Excellence
- Students score higher than average at the local, state, and national levels on standardized tests.
- 8th graders score well above the national average on ACRE (Assessment of Catechesis of Religious Education).
- 7th grade students perform well in the Duke Talent Identification program every year.
- Our graduates continue to achieve success in their high school classes receiving honor roll awards and top class rankings.
- Students are provided many interactive hands-on learning experiences: collaborative learning work-groups, math games, science experiments, literacy centers, guest speakers, virtual field trips, youth legislature, and creative project presentations.
In terms of academics, St. Theresa provided me with an impeccable foundation - one that unquestionably prepared me for the demands of the high school classroom. I do not feel that any school could have provided me with a better background. Beyond classroom lessons, though, the school further taught me the firm commitment to service and provided me with a great understanding of and connection to my faith. I would not be the same person today without the support and guidance of this community.
Caitlin Ballotta, Valedictorian 2010 | Harvard University Student
St. Theresa has given me the tools that I need to propel myself forward in life. The most important things that I received at St. Theresa were a quality education, a strong spiritual foundation, and good moral values. St. Theresa has made my transition to high school easier. I have the skills to be successful inside and outside of the classroom. At school, students are encouraged to do their best to succeed. The staff wants every child to reach his or her full potential. St. Theresa is not just a school, it is a family. I am very thankful that I was lucky enough to attend St. Theresa.

For the month of February my one monthly goal is to cut out all of the fabric pieces for a Dresden plate wedding quilt, have all of the paper pieces for the curved blades of the plates cut out, and have a good portion of fabric glue basted on the paper pieces to them ready to sew at a moments notice. This quilt is something that I need to have completed by the end of the year, as that is when the wedding is. It will contain English Paper Piecing, appliqué, and two and a half inch squares in rows between the big blocks with the dresden plates. I am up for the challenge and excited to get this quilt off to a great start.
I am out of town next week and it is going to be a perfect hand project to do on the airplane, and/or if I have any down time during my trip.
Here is to an exciting month, in which I hope to get a lot of prep work on this quilt done so it can be smooth sailing to get it finished on time.

Getting out the vote becomes major priority for Muslim-American organizations
Mosques could become voter registration centers this summer, especially during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, from June 6 to July 5, if the advice of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Islamic Circle of North America, and the US Council of Muslim Organizations is followed.
'People need to work better with Muslim communities' – former intel officer [VIDEO] https://t.co/ca0NWyKvAF@anyaparampil— RT America (@RT_America) March 24, 2016
"We're seeing an energy that is largely motivated by anti-Trump sentiment," Colin Christopher, deputy director of government affairs at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Virginia, told the New York Times.
"The advantage of this is our community is going to put more resources to putting young leaders into the process," Christopher added.
Before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, American Muslims tended to vote Republican, but a 2015 Pew Research Center poll found 70 percent of them call themselves Democrats. It's difficult in the era of Donald Trump, who recently said "Islam hates us," to see a near future in which that trend would swing back.
Believe it or not, however, there are Muslims backing Trump. Sort of.
Saba Ahmed is the president and founder of the Republican Muslim Coalition, but there hasn't been much simpatico between her and the Republican presidential candidates lately.
"Absolutely horrifying" was how Ahmed reacted to presidential candidate Senator Ted Cruz's proposition that police patrol "Muslim neighborhoods" following the terrorist bombings in Brussels.
"I'm not sure which neighborhoods he's talking about when he talks about surveilling Muslim-Americans," Ahmed told the Fox Business Network this week. "I'm really disappointed in a lot of the GOP presidential candidates."
"They're being advised by Islamophobic people," Ahmed continued. "Why are they not talking to any Muslims about Islam?"
Cruz had recently announced Frank Gaffney, a prominent peddler of Islamophobic conspiracy theories, as an addition to his foreign policy advisory team. So, what about the front-runner, Trump?
"I think it's time for all of us to come together behind his campaign and lobby him and campaign for him, and do the best we can to make sure that a Trump presidency is open and welcoming towards Muslims and Islam," Ahmed told The Islamic Monthly a week before the March 22 Brussels attacks. She added that a visit with Trump's campaign was likely to happen in April, which she would use as an opportunity to organize an appearance at a mosque for him.
Representing barely 1 percent of the US population, Muslims aren't a demographic to which presidential candidates typically cater. However, the swing state of Florida has the country's 7th highest Muslim population, according to a 2010 study released by the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies.
The Muslim Conspiracy Theory Both Trump & Cruz Subscribe To [VIDEO] https://t.co/wNXteRwIJB@Thom_Hartmann— RT America (@RT_America) March 23, 2016
"The best answer to this anti-Muslim rhetoric is engagement in the political process," Naeem Baig, president of the Islamic Circle of North America, told the New York Times. "It is a matter of survival for the American Muslim community."
In a non-scientific survey conducted by CAIR that was released last month, about 75 percent of Muslims registered to vote said they would exercise that right during the primaries. Two-thirds of them said they would likely vote for the Democratic candidate.

Research interests: HIV, HCMV
I attended the University of Oklahoma (OU) and majored in Microbiology. While microbe hunting was interesting, I was more fascinated by viruses and their uncanny ability to commandeer the cell to execute their selfish instructions. After completing a summer research program in a virology laboratory, I was convinced that viruses were my passion. While taking a virology course my senior year I became interested in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). I chose Duke University because of its strong program in HIV vaccine research, and I joined Dr. Sallie Permar's laboratory. My interests lie at the nexus of virology and immunology and the constant game of cat and mouse between host and pathogen(s). When I'm not in the lab, I enjoy reading, listening to music, playing with my dog (a Sheltie named Nina), unsolicitedly educating people around me, about science, and better understanding the world around me.

Director Ingmar Bergman shot Mozart's last operatic masterpiece for Swedish television in 1973, all on a studio lot in which the famed 18th-century Royal Court Theatre of Drottningholm was re-created. A heroic prince (Josef Köstlinger) has been enlisted by the Queen of the Night (Birgit Nordin) to rescue her daughter, the beautiful Pamina (Irma Urrila), from her evil father, Sarastro (Ulrik Cold). The music is sublime, and the film is stunning to look at with gorgeous cinematography by Bergman favorite Sven Nykvist. "THE MAGIC FLUTE is magical indeed, charming and musically fulfilling, a perfect commingling of one form of art and another." - Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times.

Quality AC repair - Metroplex
Written by Super User
Supplying your air-conditioning needs in the Metroplex
It can be a very frustrating experience when your air conditioning is not running properly. In cities such as Grapevine, Louisville and Flower Mound, you want to ensure that it is operating at all times, especially when the temperature gets hot outside. If you are experiencing problems with your air-conditioning, you have an option to have it corrected by an honest, licensed professional service that has years of experience in the area. That service is Select AC, and we can provide what you require for air-conditioning in your home.
One of the primary things that need to be considered when having the air conditioning repaired in your home is the honesty of the company that is repairing it. We are a family company and we understand that it can be difficult to afford this type of repair, so we ensure that we take care of it in the most effective method possible. We are very protective of our reputation and we ensure that we do what is necessary to make you happy customer when you use us for your AC services as well.
Another thing that needs to be considered is the fact that you are using a licensed professional. There are many fly-by-night services that may be able to correct the issues that you are experiencing, but without a license, you don't have much of a leg to stand on if a problem should occur. You can trust the fact that when you use Select AC, we are a licensed professional and we are well known for providing quality services to those in the Metroplex.
Services That We Provide
Many people in cities such as flower mound, Grapevine and Louisville find that they require regular service, and it can be of benefit when you use our service in such a way. We will come to your home on a periodic basis to ensure that your air-conditioning unit is running properly and that the lines are clear. This will help to reduce the possibility of problems, including the line back-flowing into the home or the unit having difficulties prematurely. Quite obviously, this type of the service can help to save you money in the long run.
If a repair service is necessary, we will be able to come to your home in a timely fashion so that we can care for the matter with only a minimum delay, at best. The temperature can get quite hot in the Metroplex and, if you are suffering from a difficulty with your AC unit, it can end up making your entire home uncomfortable. All it takes is a call to Select AC and you will be well on your way to being comfortable once again. You will appreciate our integrity of service and the fact that we are reliable and trustworthy in all that we care for at your home.
If you are in need of air-conditioning services, the best choice available in your area is to contact Select AC. We are a quality company that has built our reputation on the reliability that we provide to our customers. We are also a family company, so we understand the need for integrity in all that we do. You can call us today for services that may be necessary or you can request a quote from our service, and we would be happy to provide it for you. In doing so, we recognize that we are building a relationship with you, and appreciate your service.

5C Panel Discussion
The IEA CCS Roadmap and the IEA ETP2012 reports indicated that CCS is not only about electricity generation. ~45% of captured CO2 should come from industrial applications between 2015 and 2050 under the 2DS scenario. This technical panel aims to engage various stakeholders from the energy intensive industries to discuss what are the different challenges and barriers to overcome in deploying CCS. The challenges is not limited to technology but also discuss issues related to market competitiveness, carbon leakage, project financing, and regulatory framework.

Looking for something to do in the 'hood Saturday nights? The Seattle Folklore Society hosts weekly folk concerts featuring musicians from around the country – right here in Phinney-Greenwood at the Phinney Neighborhood Center.
This Saturday, Oct. 17, a Vermont-based group, Woods Tea Co., will perform at 7:30 p.m. The SFS website notes that the group performs "bluegrass, Celtic tunes, sea chanties and folk songs with ease and skill." They draw "on a wide variety of musical experience and expression, employing as many as a dozen different instruments from banjos, bouzoukis, and bodhrans, to guitars and tin whistles."
(According to Wikipedia, a bouzouki is a stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body and a very long neck and a bodhran is an Irish frame drum.)
Upcoming concerts will feature Tret Fure, Dunava, Mary Flower and The Canotes. Ticket prices range from $14 – 17 and can be reserved online.
An out of the neighborhood note: next month, SFS will host a concert with the beloved Northwest duo Reilly and Maloney at the Maple Leaf Lutheran Church in Meadowbrook. SFS notes that:
With careers that date back to 1970 and the devoted following to prove it, Ginny Reilly and David Maloney packed houses all across the country in their first two decades together, sharing stages with the likes of Judy Collins, Tom Paxton, and Greg Brown. A ten-year hiatus followed, but the pair returned to performing in 2000 and the ensuing run has been no mere victory lap.
Look for more information at the SFS website.

Vinyl Kicks EP Review
The Vinyl Kicks came out with their first EP less than a year ago and fans will be happy to hear that a new release is on the horizon. Their first EP, Almost Young, established The Vinyl Kicks as a band and is still experiencing growing success. However, where Almost Young was good, the band's upcoming EP, Ambitions Don't Age Well is great. Listeners will be pleased to hear growth in the band lyrically, vocally, and instrumentally.
The quintet is comprised of Adam Cohen on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Justin Andrews on bass and backup vocals, Hope Finlayson on keys, Sean Acosta on lead guitar, and Jason Davis on drums and backup vocals. A band with so many elements is not easy to manage but the Florida natives, all under the age of twenty three, have great synchronicity, especially on the upcoming EP.
Instrumentally, the EP sounds somewhat reminiscent of Pink Floyd, or rather what I imagine Pink Floyd would sound like if they were born forty years later. Similar to Pink Floyd, The Vinyl Kicks are experimental, they're groovy, but most of all they're not afraid to be themselves. Where a lot of current bands are afraid of extended instrumental intros, The Vinyl Kicks tip their hat to Pink Floyd and let their intros take their time, building up sweet anticipation and letting each song unfold as it was meant to.
However, it's not fair to only compare The Vinyl Kicks to Pink Floyd instrumentally, because they also sound like a lot of other things. At times the EP sounds a lot more like The Strokes than Pink Floyd, yet at other times it can best be compared to The Killers. The band has fused new and old really well on the upcoming EP. They remind me of bands from forty years ago, while simultaneously sounding like current bands. The band seems to have used forty years' worth of albums as their textbooks and it's clear they've been studying because Ambitions Don't Age Well sounds like a collection of the best parts of indie rock over the last half decade.
The vocals on the EP are just as good as the instrumentals and I love them for the same reason that I love the instrumentals. They are what they are, and while they may take notes from some of the big names that came before them, at the end of it all they put their own spin on everything they do. At times, the vocals remind me a little of Pink Floyd, The Black Keys and Kings of Leon. Yet, to be honest the vocals on the EP don't sound enough like the vocals from any of the aforementioned artists to be directly compared to alone. After I listened to the EP for days trying to figure out just who the vocals remind me of, I finally came to the conclusion that while The Vinyl Kicks sound a little like a lot of things, they really only sound like the Vinyl Kicks and their upcoming album is proof of this.
If you didn't know that Adam Cohen, the lead vocalist had a hand in writing the lyrics, you'd figure it out just by listening to him sing. He has one of those voices that is emotionally in sync with each song and its lyrics. While Cohen has a cool, silky voice through most of the songs, there are parts of the album, like the chorus on "Broaden the Odds," where he showcases a more raspy tone as he breaks into a yell. This works great for the EP, it's just one of the subtleties that sets The Vinyl Kicks apart from other bands with a similar sound.
Lyrically, the EP is very poetic. It's full of songs that show instead of telling. By that I mean that instead of coming right out and saying what they mean, The Vinyl Kicks paint the listener a picture and let the listener feel how they feel. One of my favorite lines is found at the beginning of "Broaden the Odds," "slow she goes, slow she goes, tie me up some tangled souls." Lines like this abound throughout the EP and paint abstract art in the listener's mind. Ambitions Don't Age Well features powerful enough lyrics that each song could be read in a monotone voice at a poetry event and it would still go over well.
All in all, The Vinyl Kicks have created something truly great on Ambitions Don't Age Well. Everything about the EP just works – it's everything their last EP was but better. Whether you're a fan of the indie rock classics or the genre's modern day hits, you'll love Ambitions Don't Age Well. Do yourself a favor and pick it up when it's released on iTunes, May 15th of this year; you won't be disappointed.

On the second day of New Year 2017, I would like to share with you a new skincare brand available in TNS Skin Lab Malaysia - Dr. Lewinn's. Well, in fact Dr. Lewinn's is a brand with heritage from Australia. It is a leading Australian anti-ageing brand for more than 25 years now, and dounded on formulas by Dr. Laurence LeWinn, a plastic surgeon to "Hollywood Stars".

Cinderellas Royal Table
This was a lunch that in retrospect should have been planned a little better. We seemed to time arriving at MK from AK in the middle of a parade and boy was the MK busy.. Anyway we arrived some 20mins late from our PS time though this caused no problems with the CM who took us straight into the Throne Room Lobby.. The Lobby is actually very busy and I have visions that we will be left here a while as we turned up late. However Lord Danny and Lady Jackie are gonged, announced and seated in a nice window seat overlooking Fantasy Land within 5 mins.
Jackie chooses the Prime Rib Royal Pie with Cabernet Gravy which comes with a beautiful selection of fresh vegetables and I order the Prime Rib Steak Rare which comes with Mashed Potatoes. The menu is quite limited being mainly Prime Rib, or variations on Club Sandwiches but the food is adequate, The Beef in Jackies pie is well braised and very tender whilst my Prime Steak is nice and tender despite being beautifully rare, its also nicely seasoned.
For Puddings Jackie orders an Apple Bread custard, kind of a cross between Bread and butter pudding and apple turnover and I have the Creme Brulee which is rather strange with a thickly textured custard under the caramel, still its quite tasty.
The Magic Kingdom is completely dry. If theres ever a day where a relaxing glass of wine would come in handy it's today; as I look out of the window at the shoulder to shoulder crowds in Fantasy Land
Jackie has an Orange Juice with her meal and I opt for one of Cinderellas Egg Nog smoothies which is so thick it may as well be a dessert , still you get a souvenier glass.
The Ambience is rather loud but then its lunch time and this is the Magic Kingdom so there are lots of children dining.
The entertainment is provided by a party of Americans to our Left who are being taken out for a meal by a friend. This friend sends his bill back at least 6 times to query things much to the embarrasment of his party who in the end get up and leave him on his own. When its finally sorted by a different Cast Member, (the original girl having given up trying to explain the bill to him) the guy then seems to have difficulty understanding how to pay, perhaps he thought food was included in the admission price to the park, who knows?
Anyway good basic hearty food in a nice unique setting, with points removed for not having decent beverage choices. If your gonna be dry fine, but who on earth wants to drink sugary pop with a meal. The bill came to $75 inc tip and two extra cappucini. 7 out of 10.

Sigh...its already Sunday night :( I feel like I got so little accomplished - I really need longer weekends! I caught up on sleep yesterday, but other than that and grocery shopping, I am sadly underachieving!
Well, wait, I did manage to take a Mr.Clean pad to my stairway - it is amazing how quickly little fingerprints build up! And, I did manage to get a start on a Praying Mantis Life cycle pack - I was originally creeped out by those little guys, but after hatching them in class one year I am now a big fan - they're actually kinda cute! I also got a start on lesson plans - have to finish those up after this quick post!
Oh, and I used the random number generator thingy to pick a comment to win the Butterfly Life Cycle pack! Congrats to #9, Lisa! It's on its way via email Lisa!
Insect Themed CCVC "I have... Who has..?" game! My students love this game format - and if yours are anything like mine, this is the time of the year where you need lots of little fun breaks, otherwise you end up with the squirmy wormies, the ceaseless chatterers or the imps of destruction - I had one young lady actually use a dry erase marker on my carpet the other day! I tell you, spring time makes their little brains go haywire or something!
Anyways, you can check it out here:
And, just to infuse this post with as much Butterfly love as possible, check out this giveaway from Simply Kinder - it ends tonight so be quick! You can win a Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore!
Alright, back to the laundry and lesson plans that are waiting on me! Have a great week!

Joe Satriani has released the cover artwork of his upcoming album "Unstoppable Momentum" along with the track listing. Satriani plans to release the new album on May 7, 2013 through Epic Records.
The album was recorded at Skywalker Sound in the Bay Area and produced by Satriani and Mike Fraser (AC/DC). It features Vinnie Colauita (Sting, Jeff Beck) on drums, Chris Chaney (Jane's Addiction) on bass and on keyboards Mike Keneally (Dethklok).
The albums' 11 songs are "heading in different directions and touching on a variety of musical influences," Satriani said. "The idea was to crank up the energy level of the sessions and allow for more individual expression of the material from each player. The chemistry with Mike, Chris and Vinnie was fantastic and we blazed through all of the tracks with everyone laying down amazing performances."
Unstoppable Momentum Track Listing:
01. Unstoppable Momentum
02. Can't Go Back
03. Lies And Truths
04. Three Sheets To The Wind
05. I'll Put A Stone On Your Cairn
06. A Door Into Summer
07. Shine On American Dreamer
08. Jumpin' In
09. Jumpin' Out
10. The Weight Of The World
11. A Celebration

Every year, some 3,100 trucks carrying 100,000 tonnes of trash make the journey from York and Durham to Model City, New York, to dump the regions' garbage in someone else's backyard.
But soon, those trucks will trundle along a service road just south of Hwy. 401 and pull onto a stretch of brand new blacktop leading to a large, silver-sided complex. They'll disappear inside through an oversized garage door.
Over the course of a year, those trucks will dump as much as 140,000 tonnes of household trash to be burned.
The Durham York Energy Centre, a $284-million waste-to-energy facility, is on course for completion by August, though final touches and adjustments will continue for months afterward.
It will burn the household waste that isn't recycled for all of Durham region, as well as a portion of York, using the heat generated to create electricity. It has not been without controversy.
Opponents of so-called waste-to-energy facilities argue that emissions pose health hazards; that they create an ongoing demand for waste and discourage recycling; that they're inordinately expensive.
"It's bad for the climate, bad for community health and bad for our economy," said Ananda Tan, a spokesperson for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives, an umbrella organization that advocates "zero waste."
But industry and municipalities that have bought into the approach contend modern waste-to-energy facilities are not the incinerators of years past that functioned as enormous backyard burning barrels spewing toxins. The production of energy offsets the high cost to an extent; places that incinerate most of their garbage also tend to have high rates of recycling.
And garbage has got to go somewhere.
"There are no new landfills being built out there," said Greg Borchuk, Durham Region's project manager for the facility. "Probably the only thing harder than permitting this would be permitting a landfill."
Durham has relied on landfills in the GTA and the U.S. since the region came to exist in 1974. By the mid-90s, with a growing population, the region began mulling a "local solution" to waste disposal.
The closure of Michigan's Pine Tree Acres Landfill in 2006 added urgency as the region negotiated a short-term agreement to divert waste to the New York state landfill.
Zero waste is "a beautiful idea," said Borchuk. "Someday we'll get there, maybe. But we needed an answer now."
Toronto is approaching a similar conundrum. With the city's current waste diversion rate hovering just above 50 per cent, its Green Lane Landfill near London, Ont., is expected to last until 2029.
The city is in the early stages of developing a long-term waste strategy. Earlier this month, the public works and infrastructure committee approved a report recommending a new strategy be developed that puts more emphasis on diversion.
The report suggests studying a variety of technologies to deal with waste, including some that turn waste into energy, buying another landfill or expanding Green Lane landfill, among other options.
Peel Region is moving to replace its Algonquin Power burn facility with a much larger plant. Work could begin as soon as next year.
The facility in Clarington, about 60 kilometres east of Toronto, will process household waste from both Durham and York regions.
Garbage will be dumped into a pit and two crane grapples, operated from a control room that looks down on the pit, will stir it — trash is not a particularly uniform fuel — before feeding it into one of two combustion chambers.
There, at temperatures of at least 1,000 C, the trash of well over half a million people will be mostly reduced to ash in about an hour.
Heat from combustion boils water in surrounding pipes to create steam, which powers a turbine-driven generator to create electricity that powers the facility. The remainder will be sold to the electrical grid.
Heavy ash???? falls into a recovery area where it's picked through for leftover metals, which can then be sorted and sold.
Gas and fly ash??? is fed through a system that injects lime to reduce acidity and activated carbon — essentially fine charcoal — to bind with heavy metals such as mercury.
The gas is then fed into a "bag house," where it's forced through hundreds of fabric filters that catch particulates before it exits the stack.
Remaining ash — about 70 per cent less material by weight, 90 per cent less by volume — goes to landfill.
The filtering processes result in "dramatically reduced emissions," said Paul Gilman, chief sustainability officer for the New Jersey-based company Covanta Energy that's building the facility and has a 20-year contract to operate it.
"While people call them incinerators, they're nothing like incinerators in the past," said Gilman.
Nickolas Themelis, director of the Earth Engineering Center at Columbia University, said fears about emissions from waste-to-energy facilities are just that — fears.
"They are subject to the most stringent environmental conditions," said Themelis. "These are higher standards than for other high-temperature combustion plants."
A 2009 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency that compared emissions and efficiency of using landfill gas versus waste-to-energy to generate electricity suggested emissions from landfill projects were generally higher, though waste-to-energy has "significantly higher" hydrochloric acid emissions.
Waste-to-energy opponents have worried about the emissions of dioxins, toxic chemicals that can cause cancers, among other health impacts. But Themelis said recent studies showed those emissions, in a modern facility, are low.
"There's no problem with dioxins, it's inconsequential," said Themelis. "Unfortunately, it's a bit of a scare."
There are more than 85 waste-to-energy plants operating in the U.S. The practice is far more widespread in Europe, where population density and smaller land mass forced the move away from landfill earlier.
Christian Ludwig, a professor of solid waste management at the Paul Scherrer Institut in Lausanne, Switzerland, said statistically, countries that use incineration rather than landfill tend to have higher rates of waste diversion. Switzerland's recycling rate, in 2010, was about 51 per cent, similar to Durham region, which has set itself a lofty 70 per cent goal.
Efficient recycling is vital, said Ludwig.
"But something will remain," he said. "The better you recycle, the more difficult it is to deal with what's remaining."
Materials that can't be recycled can pose hazards if simply dumped in landfill, leeching chemicals into the environment.
"You have to carefully check that if you incinerate, that you do the best you can do. But without incineration, the picture of waste treatment is not complete. You need something complimentary to the recycling for the parts that are very difficult to recycle."

This year, we had two missions at VBS. One was collecting money for a mission team headed to Arizona next month, and the other was collecting canned goods for our church's food pantry.
The kids & I have been volunteering in the food pantry once a month, placing donations on the shelves and helping families who come in for their groceries. Alex has really taken to this, and he gets so excited about this opportunity to serve!
The kids collected quite a bit of food during VBS week, and Alex asked if he could be the one who put it all on the shelves. I got permission from the food pantry director, and I told Alex we'd go in on Saturday to do it. He pestered me from the moment he woke up until the time we could slip away at 3 PM to get over to church. He is SO excited about this ministry!
It's tempting to underestimate what a 5 year old can do, but he sure is proud of his job! I'm glad we found a place where we can get our kids plugged in to serve others!
Never do I want our blog to be a place for bragging about good things we do, but I do want Alex to remember how excited he is about this service opportunity! I also want to encourage those of you with a house full of little ones…you CAN teach them to serve!
What ways have YOU found to teach YOUR little ones to serve?
We're always looking for new ideas!
