In March of this year, I brought home my then soon to be third pair of boars Sonic, who was approx. 3-4 months old, & Ash, who was approx. 2-3 months old. Both had been made adoptable due to their respective health/behavioral issues. Ash was a runt who had been bullied so severely he refused to eat & had to be syringe-fed for over 2 weeks. Sonic was still regrowing hair on half his body from a case of ringworm & had ears that looked like theyd been shredded from bites. Sonic was sweet & timid/a little aloof but considerably less so than Ash, who I barely even saw the first two weeks. I quarantined/nursed them back to health once home, got the green light on both from the vet, buddy bathed & introduced them per the guidelines here & they got along almost immediately. Though to my surprise, younger & much smaller Ash quickly established himself as boss pig & Sonic just seemed elated for the company. For months, they were a dream. Loved their c&c 2x8 cage fleece bedding, unlimited Timothy & orchard grass hay distributed in multiple places, 3 food bowls, 2 water bottles, at least 3 hides (all with 2 entrances) & two tunnels, at all times. About 3 months in, I noticed an uptick in aggression caused in part by Sonics apparent decision to challenge Ash... more strutting, some snorting & snipping, hackles up, yawning, bouts of increasingly sustained teeth chattering & squaring up staring at one another here and there that really worried me but Id had similar issues with my other pubescent boys, & no blood was drawn, so I didnt separate & decided to see whether the addition of a 2x2 loft would diffuse the aggression a bit.
For a while, it did. The loft always had hay, a food bowl, & a hide or hammock. They didnt trap/corner one another in it like I feared they would, & it seemed to be a nice refuge up top/extra cover below that they both loved. But the spats resumed & intensified.
In the last two months, two triggers seem to have been breaking points. The first was Ash winding up at the vet for GI Stasis. Sonic took full advantage of Ashs incapacitation & bothered him relentlessly, so the vet strongly recommended separating them with a grid for the course of Ashs treatment. I did. When I reintroduced them (with a buddy bath, neutral space, & lots of hay) upon ashs return to health, everything went smoothly & they fell right back in sync. Deep cleaned their cage but rubbed their blanket on their hides so their scent would hopefully eliminate the need to re-establish dominance as if it were new space. For two weeks, they were a happy healthy popcorning pair until the fighting again resumed.
Then I had to have my carpets cleaned, which required me to move everything into either my kitchen or bathroom. Their cage remained intact, but there were a few days that week that were tremendously stressful/loud for all involved. The day my carpets had been cleaned, I took them out of their cage to clean as usual & they were fine in their playpen, but when I put them back again in a clean cage that still had their scent they started chattering immediately, Sonic chased Ash one lap, they squared up, lunged and I sprinted across the room just in time to break up flying ball of fur before they flew very far.
But Sonic was bleeding on his shoulder not a deep bite wound, but still enough to make me concerned about infections/abscesses. So I took him to the vet & she recommended separation via grid again while Sonics shoulder healed. Sonic, however, figured how to jump over the grids despite all my efforts to use spare Coroplast like a wall over the top of the grid without obstructing eyesight down below. So now their cages are separate & I doubt they can really see one another but Sonic chews at the bars in a constant frenzy & I havent been able to ease his distress. I know the continued separation and reintroduction is extremely stressful for them, & I guess Im wondering if Ive reached the point of separation being permanent. I have enough grids to keep them both in 2x5 c&c cages shorterm but would like to get them each in cavy company & back in much bigger enclosures as soon as possible. I have two other pairs I could potentially introduce them to, but my other pairs each have their own aggression issues as well. I know its wishful thinking but is it possible that reintroducing them one last time once theyre out of puberty might stand chance at success?

NetComposites Ltd has transferred the rights and ownership of this website to Gardner Business Media Inc.
On 1st January 2020, NetComposites' media assets including netcomposites.com, newsletters and conferences were transferred to Composites World (Gardner Business Media).
This site is no longer being updated. Please direct all enquiries to email@example.com.
For further details see our joint press release.
Air Force Materiel Command's Space Vehicles Directorate and Composite Technology Development, Inc., have developed a technology that could minimise the shock associated with current deployment systems.
Current deployment mechanisms operating aboard spacecraft primarily consist of heavy springs which, when activated, inflict shock to components such as solar arrays and antennae. This often hinders the equipment's efficiency in the harsh environment of space.
Their efforts have led to the Elastic Memory Composite Hinge, which is comprised of a mixture of carbon fibre strands and an epoxy resin. EMCH operates by temperature application, becoming pliable when heated and then maintaining a stiff position while cooling.
EMCH has demonstrated a gradual, controlled functionality that protects the item it will deploy. For example, during launch when intense shaking can occur within the rocket body, the hardened compound material restricts the movement of deployable objects, but once the spacecraft reaches orbit, the opposite transpires as increased temperatures from the sun or an internal energy source placed on the apparatus creates elasticity.
EMCH, is undergoing evaluation on the International Space Station. It was on board Space Shuttle Discovery when the shuttle docked with the International Space Station in December 2006. A crew member transferred the EMCH demonstration, which involved a clear self-contained, Plexiglas box, measuring 10 inches by 20 inches by 17 inches, featuring three sets of tests with two hinges apiece. It's scheduled to remain on the International Space Station for 18 months.
According to 1st Lt. Corey Duncan, EMCH program manager, EMCH serves as a low-mass, low-complexity replacement for current deployment mechanisms.
""Additionally, these hinges will mitigate spacecraft shock that is typically experienced in deployment devices."" Lieutenant Duncan said. ""If the EMCH's performance is validated during its stint on the International Space Station, it will reduce the risk of shake, rattle, and roll to future space programs, as well as to the next generation of vehicles operating in the cosmos.""
The Space Vehicles Directorate, one of nine technology directorates under the Air Force Research Laboratory, sponsored the EMCH project. Composite Technology Development, Inc., designed, advanced, and tested the EMCH system.

Most people will only know beetroot as pickle or a vinegary salad addition. If cooked fresh you get a subtle earthy flavour that is delicious, but even if you are under time stress and need a simple option go for the pasteurized (ie cooked) ones, not pickled ones from supermarkets.
If you cook beetroot at home:
To preserve the beetroot's colour and nutrients, rinse and brush clean but do not remove the skin until after cooking. Cook them similar to potatoes: in boiling salted water until you can pierce them easily. (I usually do this with a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time)
Wearing rubber gloves when cutting and handling beetroot is advisable, as beetroot tends to stain everything from fingers to chopping beard…
For the salad: peel the beets and grate or finely slice them. Mix in a vinaigrette of lemon juice and olive oil, season with salt & pepper.
Divide up into portions or leave in big bowl, then sprinkle over goats- or feta cheese to taste.
Drizzle with some more olive oil and enjoy!
Add some toasted pita bread and you have a yummy and healthy lunch

The early 1960s would bring about watershed artistic achievements by Warhol. A large share of works that were set to pioneer art historically important ideas of his, such as the Marilyns and the Elvis works, were either executed during that period or creatively anticipated it. It was above all in the year of execution of the present works that Warhol moved from a hand-painted technique to a mechanical one, for the first time employing his signature silk screening technique with which he would minimise subjective gesture to arrive at a greater degree of objectivity. Completely drawn by hand, Untitled (Avanti) and Untitled (Imperial Car) are thus uniquely intimate expressions of the artsit. Drawing was a constant part of his artistic practice and as a child, Warhol took classes at the Carnegie Museum of Art winning several awards for his drawings. Drawing was one of the most continuously, privately pursued – and accordingly most revelatory – habits of Warhol's life.
Warhol had seen works that involved everyday objects by Jasper Johns at the Leo Castelli Gallery, and the present works echo Johns' and Robert Rauschenberg's seminal incorporation of everyday objects in their respective artistic practices albeit to conceptually different ends. Purloining representations of objects that occurred ubiquitously in the consumer culture of the sixties and catalysing these through an exceptionally appealing visual language reminiscent of that of advertisement would allow Warhol to objectively investigate the relationship between art and commerce.
The 'no comment', matter-of-fact style of depiction of the works render them primary examples of the transition from commercial illustration to fine art that Warhol was undergoing at the time. It is ultimately his past as an incredibly skilled draftsman that would enable Warhol to attain his unforeseen and now iconic visual vocabulary with which he would pave the way for the Pop art that would dominate the decade. In his seminal essay for the Warhol retrospective at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1989, Benjamin H. D. Buchloh highlights the significance and stylistic influence that Warhol's commercial illustrations from the 1950s had on his subsequent artistic output: "a more extensive study of Warhol's advertisement design would suggest that the key features of his work of the early 1960s are prefigured in the refined arsenal and manual competence of the graphic designer: extreme close-up fragments and details, stark graphic contrast and silhouetting of forms, schematic simplification, and, most important, of course, rigorous serial compositions" (Benjamin H. D. Buchloh, 'Andy Warhol's One-Dimensional Art' in: Exh. Cat., New York, Museum of Modern Art, Andy Warhol: A Retrospective, 1989, pp. 42-44). Created at the very apex of the artist's transition from commercial illustration to the realm of fine art, the present works capture Warhol's already apparent mastery of image making and illuminate the fundamental importance of his professional background for his seminal artistic practice.

Unusual Wine Pairings to try when Dining Out
When eating at top restaurants, there are often some predictable expectations when it comes to pairing wine with food. So predictable, in fact, that even at the best restaurants, people tend to stick with the same wine pairing rules that their grandfathers were brought up with. Now, we won't say there are NO rules to pairing food with wine, whether at home or at fine dining restaurants, because there are. Bitter goes with sweet, acid goes with fatty, and always white wine with fish, to name just a few. But rules, as they say, are made to be broken, and we've got a few magic combinations most people won't have tried before.
Mexican & Fruity White
Most people reach instinctively for a Corona and a shot of tequila while enjoying Mexican food, but there are drawbacks – beer tends to fill you up faster so you can't eat as many of those irresistible enchiladas, and of course, some people just don't like beer. Try a fruity white instead, such as a German Riesling. The fresh, fruity flavours balance out the spiciness of Mexican food, and its acidity serves as a palate cleanser which intensifies the flavour of every mouthful. Serve it ice-cold for maximum enjoyment.
Sushi and Dry Rosè
Many sushi enthusiasts choose white wine, sake or an Asian beer when hitting the sushi buffet, but trust us, you want to try it with Rosè instead. The pleasant berry flavours of a good pink wine won't overpower the delicate flavour of the sushi (it works especially well with salmon), and it will bring out the subtle sweetness of the rice. It's also great with the type of greasy fare you usually find at sushi restaurants, like tempura and spring rolls. The acidity and sweetness of pink wine cut through the fat perfectly.
Champagne and Bar Snacks
By bar snacks, we of course mean the salty favourites: crackers, chips, nuts and (in South Africa, anyway), biltong. As well as being salty, many of these foods are also fatty, meaning that a crisp sparkling wine is its ideal partner. Champagne perfectly quenches the dryness that comes with eating salty foods, and its bubbly fizz helps clear salty and oily residues from the mouth, so you can keep on munching away.
Oysters and a Light Red
Red wine with oysters – it feels so wrong and yet somehow it's just right. Choose a light, young red, such as Beaujolais. These wines won't overpower the delicate flavour of the oyster meat, but have plenty of body and a hint of spice to stand up to their salty tang. Any light red will do, just make sure it doesn't have any of the heavy fruity flavours or rough tannins of Cabernet or Shiraz, which would ruin a good plate of oysters. While these combinations might seem a little outlandish, we guarantee that once you try them, you'll be amazed at how well they work together. We at Pigalle believe that there's only one unbreakable rule when it comes to wine pairing – just pick your favourite, and you'll never go wrong!

Boundary Country
The stories collected in Boundary Country — poet Tom Wayman's first book of fiction — slide effortlessly across time and place. Some offer an insider's guide to the people who live in British Columbia's distinctive Kootenay mountain region. Others take as their starting point the family sagas of European immigrants to Toronto during the 1930s or the lives of contemporary working folk in Vancouver. Another turns on an incident during the American Civil War. Yet all the tales are set in the borderlands of human experience — the precise moments at which history becomes memory, desire is transformed into belief, and some locale or condition alters and we sense in the change a boundary.
"Descriptive prose that puts in mind the rhythms and precision of Cormac McCarthy ... Wayman gives us nature in the eyes of a man who knows it like his own skin."

I have been stopped for a whole year - 7,288 times I have not poisoned myself and £1,749.12 of my money has not gone to tobacco companies and our governmental drug barons.
When I first stopped I used to read the posts from 6 months and a year because that is where I heard it said it could be done, but it did feel like it was so far away, how would I get there, even a month felt so long. As time went on the months seemed to pass a lot quicker.
The posts around the same time as me were good too because those people were having the same or similar symptoms and thoughts as me, that made me feel I was not alone. I also read loads on the websites because that was what was suggested, if you like I did as I was told for once and little by little I began to have long times when I did not think about them.
I knew encouraging others was a good way to help myself, as we suggest ideas to others these become a part of us as well, the more often something is heard the more it becomes real. So even if it was hard sometimes I would do my best to help a little and encourage my friends here to keep going and follow in the footsteps of those ahead of us as the WhyQuit story says.
My husband still smokes so I remember them more when he is at home but it does not make me want to smoke, in fact the stink when he comes inside from smoking is so bad I wonder how I could have smelt like that and not known.
I hate seeing the horrible things by the road side there seems to be so many these days, can't be a law about dropping them up here.
Most of all I want to thank all the people here for sharing their stories and helping me, I know without all of you I would not be celebrating today, you are all very special.

Students attending Covenant can earn up to a full year of college credit while in high school. This is a great alternative to those interested in Running Start programs, who still desire to maintain the four-year high school experience while saving time and money in their post-high school careers.
Several of Covenant's courses are approved by Northwest Nazarene University to earn college credit through their Concurrent Credit Program:
If a student takes all the concurrent college credit courses offered, they will complete 32 semester credits for college. At most universities, students taking a full load of classes complete 30 semester credits per year.
The Concurrent Credit Program is a partnership between NNU and approved high schools. It offers junior and senior students the opportunity to begin earning college credit while still enrolled in high school. Unlike AP or CLEP credits which typically allow a student to skip prerequisite courses but do not always earn college credits, NNU credits are college credits granted by an accredited four-year university. Students who earn credit through the concurrent credit program will receive the same transcript record from NNU as full-time four-year college students attending NNU. Unlike students who go through the Running Start program at a community college, concurrent credit students can continue enjoying the benefits of a Christian high school education while earning college credit. Also, Running Start credits are typically accepted as college credits only by Washington State public universities and by only a few private or out-of-state colleges and universities.
The NNU transcript certifies college credit earned, but does not automatically guarantee its acceptance at any other institution. It is important for students to check with the universities that they are considering attending to discover if they accept NNU concurrent credit. However, NNU credits earned through the concurrent credit program have been widely accepted by public and private colleges across the country.
The cost for earning the credits is $75 per semester credit. A 4 credit semester course would cost $300 total.
Running Start students at community colleges must pay for books which can exceed $1,000.00 per year.

The Harpy Contract The Witcher 2 guide, walktrough
Received from: Notice board (M15, 2)
Step 1: Learn more about harpies
The mission is connected with a notice placed on the bulletin board "Proclamation of Closure of the Mines". It's a good idea to take the notice from the board and continue completing other quests - the first part of the mission will pretty much complete itself. In order to learn more about Harpies, you just have to kill a couple of them. You can start eliminating them in the quarry (M13, 3), which is overflowing with them.
Step 2: Use harpy traps
Once you kill enough monsters, proper information will be displayed and the second part of the mission will begin. You will notice harpy lairs on the rock ledges. Unfortunately you won't be able to reach them - you have to use traps, which the harpies will take to their nests and destroy them that way.
The Harpy Trap formula can be bought from Hagart (M15, 13). In order to create it, you need 2x Oil, 1x Timber, 1x Silver Ore. In total, you need seven traps.
You need to place four traps in the quarry (M13, 3) and the other three in the harpy lair (M13, 6) - you will go there during the main part of Hunting Magic.
Step 3: Get your reward from Cecil Burdon
Once you destroy all the tunnels, go to Cecil Burdon (M15, 12) to collect your reward. You will also receive the Fire Rune and some orens.
Prize: 100 XP

Blue-gray Tanager
|Scientific classification
|see species list
Thraupis is a genus of birds of the tanager family occuring from Mexico to Argentina. Some are familiar species with large ranges.
These tanagers are mainly found in semi-open habitats including plantations and open woodland, but some will venture into towns. They feed from medium to high levels in trees, taking mainly fruit, with some nectar, and insects which may be taken in flight.
The pair builds a usually well concealed cup nest, but the female incubates alone. The Blue-gray and Palm Tanagers will nest in buildings.
Thraupis tanagers have squeaky call notes and songs which consist of 5-10 repetitions of a single or double note.

Houthi forces retook positions in southern Yemen to advance on second city Aden, military sources said on Sunday as a landmine blast killed 16 soldiers east of Sana›a.
The Houthis regained the positions they had lost in fighting in recent months, including a hilltop overlooking the strategic Al-Anad airbase in Lahj province which borders Aden, they sources said.
The base currently houses Sudanese forces from a Saudi-led coalition that has been battling Houthis across Yemen since March, AFP reported.
The deployment near Al-Anad «poses a real danger to pro-Hadi and coalition forces», a military source said.
Military sources said the Yemeni Houthis also retook Damt, the second city in Daleh province, after besieging it for hours on Saturday and clashing with loyalist troops.
At least 16 people, including nine loyalists, were killed in the clashes and many wounded, the sources said.
Forces fighting in support of fugitive president Abed-Rabbo Mansour Hadi «were forced to withdraw from the city», one of the sources said.
The Houthis also seized a military base in the coastal city of Dhubab, near the Bab Al-Mandab strait, following clashes with pro-government troops, another military source said.
Six loyalists and 11 Houthi fighters were killed.
Pro-Hadi troops seized Dhubab early last month, giving them effective control of Bab Al-Mandab, through which much of the world›s maritime traffic passes.
Late Sunday, 16 pro-Hadi soldiers were killed and six wounded when a landmine exploded as their vehicle passed in the city of Marib, east of the capital Sana›a, a military source said.
The blast took place on the road to the Sahn military base northwest of Marib, the source added.
Loyalists are in control of Marib while Sana›a is in the hands of Houthi forces who are also allied with forces loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The United Nations says that around 5,000 people have been killed in Yemen›s conflict since it escalated in March.
UN chief Ban Ki-moon was leaving for Saudi Arabia on Sunday amid a new push by the world body for peace talks in Yemen.
The United Nations is hoping to announce next week a date for talks between the government and Houthis.
All major combatants have publicly agreed to implement UN Security Council Resolution 2216, which calls on Houthi and Saleh forces to withdraw from the country›s main cities.
But while Hadi and the coalition have previously demanded that this happen before talks begin, the Houthis and Saleh want talks to address the mechanism for implementing Resolution 2216.

There is a prevailing concept that youth don't care about privacy
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a session hosted by the Privacy Commissioner of Canada on Youth Privacy. The Calgary school board's Innovation and Learning Technologies initiative invited 150 students aged 5 to 21 to a workshop exploring how their generation understands privacy, how concerned they are about privacy, what they want in terms of privacy and how they would feel if their privacy was violated.
These students' contributions dispelled the myth that the youth are not concerned with privacy. They listened to each other's perspectives and educated their peers and younger students on how to protect their privacy on the internet. Children 6 and 8 years old told each other not to befriend someone they don't know on the net, because "it could be a man 50 years of age pretending to be a 17 year old girl." Financial fraud was on their minds as well. They gave examples of fake games that could announce that they cost $2 and then charge $100.
A young student's comment:
"Internet Privacy is like a safe that you think you have the only key to but actually some others can access it"
The group shared advice on password use, information sharing, the permanency of data on the net and possible impact on their careers, staying away from internet trolls, using partial names or pseudonyms, and other privacy protective measures. These were tech savvy kids: they knew about shared accounts and cloud services. They named a broad range of social and gaming media platforms. They could explain their families' rules about social media accounts (many share accounts with their parents) and about buying applications. Many had multiple online accounts using different names.
At the same time, they admitted that they are dependent on gaming and social networks. They explained that engaging with these networks is what they do – it is embedded in their DNA and the way they think.
A 17-year-old panelist gave the following advice,
"Any time you want to click send, think the following: Will this post matter to my future employer and will it reflect who I am when I am trying to get my first job?"
I was pleasantly surprised by how privacy aware these youth are. The Calgary school board is currently studying the impact of privacy and how to introduce privacy into the curriculum. They need to be commended for that. Children and youth are immersed in online networks and they do care about their privacy. They need whatever tools we can give them to protect it.

Yesterday my (twin) sister got accepted in to two top Universities in NYC, to do photography. I was really really excited for her. Because she will get to do what she loves everyday. She will have time to develop her art.
Schools and universities often get accused of being restrictive and institutionalised, which is a massive debate in itself, for another time. But my point, and reason for getting excited at my sister being accepted into a school is this, yes you can make it on your own as an artist, its not about the qualifications you have as an artist its what you can do thats important, all of which is quite true.
But, going to school for your chosen art is a massive privilege and should not be wasted, or forgotten. It is highly unlikely that after you graduate you will ever be able to dedicate such quantities of time to simply learning about your art. It is a time where you can create and learn for no other reason than that. There is no worry of satisfying commissioners or getting grants approved before you can create work. You are not bowing to the mercy of councils or theaters or anyone. For 3 years you get to work purely for yourself.
I think thats pretty special. In my recent blog 'and it goes on...' I wrote that what is satisfying about doing a dance degree is that you can feel the developments in yourself pretty quickly because of the intensity of the course. I have no doubt that my sister will also have this unique experience, and speaking from experience I know she is going to have so much fun.

Wade reaches milestone, Heat roll past Cavaliers 122-101
MIAMI -- Dwyane Wade got a hug from his close friend LeBron James before the game, a milestone in the third quarter, a rest for the entire fourth quarter and an easy win to enjoy when it was over.
That's a night to savor.
Wade scored 24 points and became the 41st player in NBA history to reach 20,000, rookie Josh Richardson added 19 and the Miami Heat led wire-to-wire on their way to beating the Cleveland Cavaliers 122-101 on Saturday.
"I've been through a lot of adversity," Wade said. "I've had a lot of injuries in my career that a lot of people would never have come back from -- and I have, and I continue to keep going, 13 years later. And I thank my teammates, the ones that are here and the ones that aren't here, because to get 20,000-plus points you've got to shoot a lot of shots."
Goran Dragic had 18 points and 11 assists for Miami, Joe Johnson also scored 18 and Hassan Whiteside finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Miami led outrebounded Cleveland 42-26 and led by a season-high 33 at one point.
James had 26 points for Cleveland and sat out the final 15 minutes, the outcome already decided when his night came to an early end. Richard Jefferson scored 20 and Kyrie Irving had 14 for the Cavaliers.
"I think the pace, we couldn't keep up with it tonight," James said. "Whether it was our fifth game in seven nights, we couldn't keep up with their pace."
Cleveland had one real burst during the game, an 11-0 run in the second quarter that cut a 15-point Heat lead down to 40-36. Other than that, it was all Miami.
Richardson continued his brilliant play of late, the rookie making all three of his 3-point tries in the second quarter to help Miami take control for good. Wade went into the locker room at halftime with 19,997 career points, and the only drama at that point was when he would get the milestone basket.
The answer came quickly.
Wade, who came into the game 13 shy of the milestone, scored a minute into the third to get to 19,999, then got a short floater in the lane to drop moments later. He got a standing ovation at the next dead ball, and a video tribute later in the quarter.
"It was great to see," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "You don't want to be so jaded in this business that you don't take time to recognize the special moments. Dwyane's the face of the franchise. He's done what he's been able to do at a high level, for a long time, consistently."
The Cavs were befuddled all night. About 90 minutes before the game, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said center Timofey Mozgov would be in the Cavs' starting lineup. Sometime in the next 45 minutes Lue apparently changed his mind, starting Kevin Love at center instead and not playing Mozgov at all until benches were cleared early in the fourth quarter.
Love was on the bench with two fouls before the game was 3 1/2 minutes old, the Cavaliers surrounded James with four guards during one stretch of the half and nothing really worked. Miami's lead was 31-19 after a quarter, 65-44 at the half, and Love finished with just seven points in 16 minutes.
"They play well at home," Lue said. "With LeBron coming back here they get up for this game and we've got to start getting up for these games also."
Cavaliers: In Cleveland's two trips to Miami this season, the Cavaliers have led for a total of 21 seconds. ... Cleveland has lost 11 straight in Miami.... Including playoff games, it was the sixth time in James' career when he took 20 or more field-goal attempts and shot no free throws.
Heat: Miami has scored at least 100 points in 10 consecutive games, its longest such streak since 1994. ... Johnson is 23 for 39 from 3-point range since joining the Heat. ... Chris Bosh and James had a brief on-court talk after the game, and James then huddled with Wade as about a dozen photographers surrounded them.
Saturday marked only the third time in 69 games this season in which Cleveland never had the lead. The only other games were Dec. 1 against Washington and Jan. 18 against Golden State.
Miami is now 4-0 at home against Cleveland since James returned to the Cavaliers, all four wins by double-digits.
Cavaliers: Host Denver on Monday.
Heat: Visit New Orleans on Tuesday.

Bridgeport man charged with drug possession in Westport
Photo: Westport Police / Contributed Photo
WESTPORT — A police dog allegedly sniffed out a large bag of marijuana in a Bridgeport man's car Jan. 4.
An officer stopped Elijah Kearney's vehicle because a brake light was out around 8:30 p.m. as he drove down Post Road West, police said. Smelling marijuana in the car, the officer conducted a K-9 search that turned up a bag of the drugs, according to police.
Kearney, of Coleman Street in Bridgeport, was charged with possession and sale of a controlled substance. The 22-year-old's bond was set at $2,000 ahead of a Jan. 16 court date.

KISSIMMEE, Florida--The battle of the nation's two highest-scoring women's soccer teams didn't go Faith's way Friday afternoon in the NCCAA national semifinals as the Eagles fell, 5-0, to Grace Christian University.
Grace Christian's Maddie Brown showed why she is the nation's leading scorer, netting the first of her three goals less than five minutes into the game.
"She was the fastest player I faced this year," said Karina Fritz, who was named a Second Team All-American on defense this weekend along with freshman forward Abigail Speichinger.
Faith's Lyndi Shepherd was named a First Team All-American Thursday evening, but neither she nor any of Faith forwards were able to get the Eagles on the scoreboard. GCU's goalie made numerous spectacular saves, frustrating Faith's normally potent offense.
"We created some chances on offense, we just weren't putting them far enough out of reach of the goalie," said Coach Zack Barron. "They were solid on defense. They kept a lot back in their counterattack."
A 2-0 deficit felt larger than that at halftime with the Eagles struggling to gain any offensive momentum. Sensing the urgency to get the offense clicking, Barron moved Aubree Smith from keeper into the forward position to add some firepower. Grace Christian continued to make stops, and Maddie Brown continued to make goals, scoring twice more in the second half as the Tigers broke the game open and cruised to the 5-0 win. Faith finished with 10 shots on goal, while GCU had 12.
The loss halted Faith's six-game winning streak, but the Eagles get a chance to go out victorious with a consolation game on Saturday at 11:00 a.m. (Central Standard Time) against Randall University, who fell to Bob Jones University in the other semifinal.
"Grace Christian is a great team," said Barron. "Their maturity showed, being here year after year. They are the defending national champions. We have a lot coming back next year, and I'm excited to see what we can do."

Children can Cook!
I was only about 8 years old when I took over the cookie-baking chore of two batches a week to feed four big brothers. If that sounds young to you, understand that Mom was never very far away and played a role in clean-up (measuring flour takes practice!) But, like all my brothers, I left home knowing how to cook for myself.
We knew our kids were on the right track with cooking when, one day when I was a bit tied up with a work project, my five-year-old asked if she could start lunch. When I came downstairs, she'd set the table, made peanut butter sandwiches for the three of us (wheat and jam for me, wheat and honey for her brother), poured the milk expertly, and had three apples on the cutting board. I said, "How wonderful you've done so much and thank you for keeping the apple-cutting for me!" She knew the rules and the process.
How do you get children started while ensuring their safety around mixers, stove burners, hot ovens and knives? Gradually! And with a few ironclad rules surrounding adult supervision. Some of my favorite preschool "recipes" include
- Cracker Fish. Place several soda crackers and a bit of pepper and dill in a Ziploc bag. Put a toy hammer or a rolling pin in your child's hand and ask him/her to crush the crackers. They usually go at it with gusto. Meanwhile, cut thawed or fresh fish filets into large fish stick size pieces. Dip these in milk. When the crackers are crushed, place a few pieces of fish inside the bag and have your child shake it until cracker pieces stick. Then place the fish in a greased, shallow oven dish. Repeat until all the fish are coated. Bake at 400 degrees until fish is flakey (time depends on fish thickness).
- Chocolate Chips Distributed. Use your favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, preferably one with rolled oats for extra chewiness and goodness—but hold out the chocolate chips. As you drop the cookie dough by the spoonful onto the cookie sheets, have your children press 3-4 (or 6-8!) chips into each cookie. This not only involves your children in a simple part of the process but also ensures that all cookies are created equal.
- Pizza. Our favorite pizza crust is easy, although best done in a mixer: 2 cups flour, 1 egg, 2 T olive oil, 1 package yeast dissolved in ¾ cup water, ½ tsp salt, pepper and fennel seed to taste. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes or so. Then assemble! Spread out small dough circles for each child, up to three per cookie sheet. Make a bigger pizza for adults to share. Let your children put on their own toppings, from the tomato sauce to meats to pineapple, olives, onion, mushroom, etc. (our kids rapidly increased their range of likes this way!) Bake at 400 degrees until cheese is lightly browned.
There! You're on your way to having extra chefs in the house! Bon appétit!

Close This Window
Highland Drive Elementary is proud to introduce it's newest initiative: #kindkids!
Throughout this year #kindkids will be offering opportunities for our students to go beyond themselves – for example, participating in October's "Socktober" to collect socks for the homeless, writing letters to veterans for Veteran's Day and holding a donation drive for winter gear to help people in our own community who may not have proper outerwear.
The first endeavor was a school wide bucket-filling project. Thanks to the generosity of the
Highland Drive PSO
, each classroom was given a copy of the book "How Full Is Your Bucket For Kids" by Tom Rath, along with red buckets for each student, posters, banners and other mini-incentives, such as pencils, bookmarks and kindness coins. Students are filling each other's buckets with kind notes and pictures and incorporating it into their daily classroom routines! Teachers are noticing increased kindness amongst students - just as hoped.
On Friday, September 9th, Ricky Smith, Cleveland native and founder of the worldwide "Random Acts of Kindness Everywhere" (or #RAKE) came to Highland Drive to share his secrets for spreading kindness and how his one little act of kindness - a $5 pizza shared with the homeless and a simple tweet- sparked a movement that is now going on its 3rd year. He now motivates thousands of people to get out and do one kind act a day that brings kindness to someone else's day.

A tipping incident on the Carnival Sunshine last Sunday led to chaos, according to TV reports that showed shattered dishes and furniture strewn across the dining room.
The "technical issue" lasted about a minute and then the ship, which had departed from Port Canaveral earlier in the day, continued its Caribbean cruise as planned. About 3,000 people were aboard.
"There was never any issue with the safe operation of the ship and our officers quickly intervened to correct the situation," the company said in a statement to the Sentinel.
A report from CBS News described a chaotic scene, with one passenger on Twitter saying water ran into elevators and her clothes were soaked after cans fell from shelves.
Passengers received onboard credits of $50, according to the CBS report.

Development of differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) technique for electrocatalysis studies
Degree Type
Date of Award
Degree Name
Doctor of Philosophy

First Advisor
Andrew C. Hillier
The initial target was to develop an electrocatalyst for electrochemical reduction of CO2 to selectively produce ethylene. An in-situ mass spectrometric technique namely Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) was used for the study. Majority time was spent on CO2 reduction. Various strategies have been explored including alloy catalysts, modified Cu electrodes, increasing CO2 solubility using monoethanolamine solutions, ionic liquids to bypass the high activation energy requiring pathway and using guanidinium salts to stabilize intermediates. During the CO2 reduction project, certain limitations were felt using the DEMS technique which includes no control of/ low CO2 supply to electrocatalyst and inability to detect non-volatile products like formic acid. So in the thesis project "Development of DEMS technique for electrocatalysis studies", the identified limitations of DEMS technique were eliminated to fulfill the CO2 reduction experiment requirements. An enhanced version of DEMS was developed by integrating capabilities of enhancement and control of reactant supply to the electrocatalyst by using an impinging jet and detection of non-volatile products produced using an additional electrochemical ring detector.

Ok, Not the kind of deep sea diving with sharks in the Atlantic. Lets not get crazy now... I am talking about diving in to your WHO and asking good questions that alter the way you think, live, laugh, learn, and love. Deep stuff... I know.... :)
(New class STARTS 08 20 14)
Swim below the surface w me.... Will you?
I know this may sound terrible to some of you buuutttt I'm just not a surface-ey (my word) person.... Small talk bores the heck out of me and causes a mental weariness in my membrane. I's rather ask a fun quirky weird random question that creates a spark of interest or deep thinkin' in a passer by or youuuu ... my reader. That's just how I am wired. (I will warn you that this can be dangerous at time but it most certainly keeps things interesting).
Getting below the surface-
A little adventurous deep sea diving (into the matters of the heart, mind, body and soul ) can be just the trip you are looking for. Having the courage to plunge inward into the heart of the matter can often uncover a timely solution. One that may have been hidden under a little scar tissue of weakness or fear or maybe faint heartedness. You just needed to look a little deeper.
Are you READY for the TRIP?
Only you know. Are you ready to dive in and examine some of the areas that YOU have been avoiding lately? You know the scary ones ... that require you to be brave and swim in to and through the rough dark cold uncertain waters. Ouch.... I know. Right? Just keep your oxygen tank on and remember to breatheeeee. ;)
Let's dive in and hold back the heave.
Ask good questions and be sure to believe.
Have faith and Trust and be ready to receive.
Swimming in the uncharted waters right with you my friend, my reader, my diving buddy. I know it can be scary to dive deep... But the alternative (doing nothing) is even scariER.
PS - New class starting in August.
I can help you find meaning in your past yuck.
We can build your muscles so you can conquer the relational muck.
More tools in your hands... Less you'll get stuck.
August 20th if you are ready to dive in with us.

Not realistic to expect win says Vettel
Sebastian Vettel on Thursday admitted he is not expecting to win the Austrian grand prix.
Mercedes' Toto Wolff headed into the weekend's racing at the Red Bull Ring warning that Ferrari did not get the most from its upgraded engine in Canada.
"The battle is far from over," he said.
Speaking in Spielberg, Ferrari's Vettel acknowledged that the target is to win.
"We always try to fight for the victory," said the German.
Vettel said Ferrari does have a "strong package" in 2015, but he said it is still not realistic to head into race weekends expecting to win.
"We have to be realistic," he said.
"We know that we would need a perfect weekend and for Mercedes to stumble. Under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to beat them.
"The gap is still quite large," Vettel added.

History and designEdit
It is essentially a .45 ACP case, necked down to .357, resulting in a cartridge similar in form to the earlier 7.65×21mm Parabellum and 7.63×25mm Mauser cartridges. It was created to be a low recoil target cartridge that would function reliably with multiple bullet types, FMJ to cast lead wadcutters without the feeding problems that straight walled pistol rounds sometimes exhibit.[2] The cartridge can be used in standard .45 ACP magazines.[3]
Ammunition and reloadingEdit
.45 ACP cases can be resized to handload .38/.45 Auto cartridges [4] using form and sizer dies still available from the RCBS Corporation, p/n 56468.
Nearly any M1911 pistol and pistols of the same pattern can be converted to the .38/.45 cartridge with a replacement barrel, from a 38 Super barrel reamed out to .38/.45 dimensions.[1][3] During the round's initial popularity, drop-in barrels were available from makers like Bar-Sto.

The standard business formal wear is a full coordinating matching suit, including a coat and dress pants. The darker the suit, the more conventional it looks. Notwithstanding coordinating pants and coat, men should wear fasten the busted shirt, combined with a tie.
Cease from striking and brilliant hues or examples in dress shirts. Pick a tie with hues and tones that match your suit and dress shirt. Wear dress shoes, pads, open-toed and shut toed shoes in a cowhide or dress material are good and ought to be spotless and cleaned.
Dress pants or skirts with a coordinating coat viewed as business formal for ladies. If you are wearing a skirt for a meeting, at that point, skirts ought to consistently sit at or simply over the knee.

Joy in Abundance
We were greeted at Bethel Boys Home with fanfare.
The boys welcomed us by playing a song on their instruments.
We then spent the afternoon singing songs, doing crafts, and playing fun, high energy games with them. What a treat, at both the Bethel and Shalom homes, to see kids just being kids… smiling…laughing…singing…dancing.
There's joy in abundance!

Editor's Note: On December 28, 2014 Dia De Haan and a mission team of four people left on a trip to Kodaikanal. They will spend their time one-on-one with the children at both the Bethel and Shalom Children's Homes as well as the Bethania Rehabilitation Center. Please keep Dia and the team in our prayers. They return to the United States on January 9, 2015. In the meantime, keep up to date with their adventures via the Bethania blog!
We Made It to India: Weary, Yet Rested
9 hours in DFW airport
15 hour flight to DoHa airport
4 hour flight to Chennai India
1 broken flight to Madurai
1 working flight to Madurai
4 hour bus ride to Kodaikanal.
35 smiling, joyful girls from Shalom home. . .
We made it to India. We are extremely jet lagged but the beauty of India is helping us to be rested.
The beauty is all around us. In the children's big beautiful brown eyes, the waterfalls, and endless honking of cars.
There is also an overwhelming beauty at the Bethania homes of Shalom and Bethel. The children are truly aware of the presence of Christ.
Their lives are for Christ and they let you know that. They let you know of all of the blessing our Heavenly Father has bestowed upon them.

Simple Gifts
Have you taken a look at Bethania's gift catalog? What an awesome opportunity to give to others at a time when we are reminded of the blessings in our lives – family near, good food on our tables, gifts under the tree, and a God who gave Himself to restore a relationship with us. During this season especially, I am overwhelmed by God's goodness in my life and am all the more eager to use the resources He's given me to be an extension of His love to those in need.

Pure and Faultless
Religion. It's me and God, right? Go to church, read the Bible, say a prayer, give some money – is that Christianity?
Maybe I truly and sincerely invest in each of these endeavors. Church is not an obligation, but a welcome opportunity to worship God with fellow believers. I read Scripture with a heart and mind seeking to hear God's voice through the pages of His word. My prayers are heartfelt and expect, in faith, to be answered. Giving financially is a joyful response of gratitude to all that God has given me. Is this Christianity? Is this true religion? Read more…
"You won't forget me?"
How could I respond to that question?! After a few short days with the amazing children at Kannivadi, I felt like these kids were truly my Indian brothers and sisters. They wanted to know if I'd be able to see their Christmas program. Sadly, I had to answer with a "no." I'd be back in America by Christmas, and I didn't know when I'd be back in India or visiting them at Bethania. They wanted to know if I'd forget them. Read more…
The Path of Education
Last Friday I walked across a stage and received my college diploma. In some ways, I see this as a major accomplishment. That degree represents many hours of sitting in lectures, reading textbooks, preparing and giving speeches, writing papers, studying for exams, researching topics, and participating in group discussions and projects. It represents courage to do things I thought were too hard for me, perseverance when I didn't feel like studying anymore, and faithful encouragement from my friends and family. Yes, I do believe the diploma I now have represents a big accomplishment. Read more…
Bethania Hall of Fame
On each of my three visits to the Kannivadi Bethania Home, I was given a narrated tour of what I began to think of as the Bethania Hall of Fame. In reality, it was a small office with cement floors and a single computer, where I presumed that the daily business for running the home took place. For the kids, however, that room might as well have been carpeted in lush, deep red and illuminated with soft lights shining on the walls.
It was for the purpose of seeing these walls that I was pulled into that small office at some point in each of my visits. Three of the four walls contained neat rows of letter-sized sheets of paper. On two walls, each paper contained the picture of one of the children currently living at Kannivadi, along with his or her basic information – name, birthday, hometown, interests, and future goals. The kids showed me each of these simple profiles, blushing when we'd come to their own. There was a lot of running around the room as they showed me sibling connections and I tried to keep it all straight. Read more…
View of India
I awoke with a smile; it was time to look for peacocks. Leaving my straw mat, I pulled on my sandals and hurried down the cement stairs. I was surprised to be the first one to the playground. I had expected that these spunky kids would have an easier time waking up at 6 am than I did. I suppose everyone – no matter what age or ethnicity – yearns to sleep in on a Saturday morning. But before long, a few kids were pulling themselves out of bed as well, excited to be my guide in this search for peacocks.
"Good morning, sister! How was your sleep?" Read more…

Blue chip recruits Marlee Zein and McCartney Kessler are both joining the NCAA champion University of Florida Gators, but their paths to Gainesville have been starkly different.
The 18-year-old Kessler, who joined the team this month, verbally committed to Florida more than two years ago, while the 17-year-old Zein, who will arrive in Gainesville this fall, selected Florida just two months ago, after official visits to three other campuses. And while Zein is comfortable in her hometown of Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, Kessler lives in Calhoun, a town of 15,000 in northern Georgia, another contrast that never hindered their budding friendship.
When an undecided Zein visited Gainesville, Kessler was also taking her official visit to her school of choice, with the two previously acquainted, having played doubles together at the 2017 USTA National Championships in San Diego.
"I think it did help to have another person there that I knew," said Zein, who also visited Vanderbilt, Georgia Tech and Auburn. "I was taking four of them and Florida was my third one. And I knew that she was going there so I knew I would have somebody there I knew."
Kessler also knew somebody in Gainesville: her brother McClain, who is a junior on the men's team.
"My parents are from Florida and we have a vacation house that we share with a bunch of families close by, so that's nice," Kessler said. "And it helps that my brother's there."
Zein's visit convinced her that Gainesville would be the best setting for the next stage of her tennis career.
"I think at Florida, as soon as I got on campus, I got the feeling, I knew I was supposed to be here," Zein said. "The energy of the school and the campus, obviously, the tennis program — they've had really good results. Dave [associate head coach Balogh] and Roland [head coach Thornqvist] really care about developing their players, they're really cool and I'm really excited to go there."

I haven't made them yet, but I could dig them up and send them to you, if you are up to some fabrication. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Kair [mailto:scott3491 at insightbb.com] Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 9:32 AM To: Audi-VW-Diesels at yahoogroups.com Cc: vwdiesel at audifans.com Subject: [Audi-VW-Diesels] TDI timing belt tools Now that we're seeing a few "older" TDI's, some are actually off warranty and one has shown up at the independent shop I deal with. The owner wants the timing belt changed, and the shop folks have the how-to information from alldata and Bentley, but lack the tools. As expected, area dealers wish to retain a monopoly on service, so genuine VW tools are out of reach. Is anyone aware of a cheaper aftermarket source for the tools necessary to change TDI timing belts, and any other TDI specialty tools? My first reaction was to inform the owner that nothing could be done and that he'd have to sell the car cheap, but the shop owner promised dire consequences if I tried that stunt. :) TIA, Scott Kair ------------------------ Yahoo!

Seasonal local food recipe No.385 – Anna Jones' courgette and halloumi fritters with chilli and mint jamPosted on July 17th, 2018 No comments
This is a surprisingly tasty courgette fritter recipe that doesn't contain any eggs. It's from the Modern Cook vegetarian series in The Guardian. Anna says: "If you are vegan, you can replace the halloumi with two more courgettes."
As there was some Camel CSA chilli and crab apple jelly left over in my fridge, I didn't need to make the chilli jam.
Serves 4 (makes 16 fritters)
Preparation: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
3 medium courgettes (about 400g)
1 packet halloumi (about 225g)
100g rice flour
100g plain or white spelt flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch dried oregano
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Olive oil
Salad leaves, to serve
For the chilli jam
6 red chillies, finely sliced
6 tbsp red-wine vinegar
5 tbsp sugar
1 small bunch mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
Put all the chilli jam ingredients into a small pan and bring to a simmer for five to eight minutes, until the liquid has thickened and the chillies are soft and sticky.
Grate the courgette and halloumi. Mix the flours, baking powder, oregano and lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the grated courgette and halloumi, and mix well. Season well with salt and black pepper. If your batter looks too dry add a little milk or water until it is spoonable.
Heat a large heavy-based frying pan on a medium heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Next add the batter – about two tablespoons for each fritter – and fry for a couple of minutes, until the edge is well-set, then flip and cook for another couple of minutes. Keep going until all your batter is used up – keep the cooked fritters warm in a low oven.
Serve with the chilli jam and salad leaves dressed with the lemon juice. Leftover fritters keep well in the fridge for several days – reheat in a 180C/350F/gas 4 oven for about 10 minutes. They're also delicious cold!
Seasonal local food recipe No.354 – Beetroot and caraway soda breadPosted on March 12th, 2017 No comments
Frank made this loaf for Sunday lunch last weekend. The recipe's from Anna Jones in The Guardian. You might expect the loaf to be bright pink. It was before it went into the oven but oddly, once baked, it turned to a more palatable shade of yellow! Whatever the colour it tasted great.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Makes 1 x 750g loaf
300g cooked beetroot, chopped
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp caraway seeds
100ml buttermilk (or plain yoghurt let down with a splash of milk)
200g white spelt flour
200g wholemeal spelt flour
50g pumpkin seeds, plus more for sprinkling
1 tsp salt
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
Black pepper
Preheat the oven to 220°C/gas mark 7. Put the beetroot (see the note below if you're roasting your own), spices and buttermilk in a food processor and puree until smooth.
Put the flours, pumpkin seeds, salt, bicarbonate of soda and pepper into a large bowl and mix well. Pour the beetroot mixture into the flours and mix with a fork until well combined, then use your hands to gently bring the lot into a rough ball. Don't knead it though, or it will make the finished loaf tough.
Scatter some flour over a baking sheet and put your ball of dough on top. Dust with a little more flour and a few more pumpkin seeds. Cut a deep cross in the bread, then bake for 30 – 40 minutes until golden and risen.
Remove from the oven and tap the bottom of the loaf. If you get a hollow sound, it's perfect, so pop it on a wire rack to cool. This is delicious warm with salted or almond butter.
If you are roasting the beetroot yourself
Wash the beetroot well and trim off the stalks. Place the whole beetroot in a foil parcel, wrapped really tightly so the steam doesn't escape. Cook for around an hour (depending on the size of your beetroot) until tender. Once cooked, allow to cool in the foil parcel, this will make it really easy to remove the skins. When cool enough to handle slip the skins off and discard. Extra roasted beetroot can be used in salads or alongside dips such as hummus.
