I am Zeke, an Artist from Sweden.
My painting reflects the way I see the World.
It is influenced by the Forests, the Lakes and the somewhat melancholy people that lives in the land of the midnight sun.
Where small countryroads disappears among the trees and lead you to the most fantastic places...or sometimes to nowhere.
The endless light in the summer and the long darkness of the winter creates a special mood that you can only find here.
The strong colours I use is my way to fight the darkness and celebrate the light.
My paintings are made from the finest acryl and are protected with varnish.
Usually on canvas but sometimes also board.
When so mentioned the paintings are for sale. Please contact me for more info about that.
Once again...Welcome!

The Cubs may have shocked the baseball world by taking Indiana's Kyle Schwarber with the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, but the 23 year old catcher left opposing pitchers stunned in his first week of professional baseball. Schwarber went 12 for 20 with four home runs, a double, and a triple in his first week for the Boise Hawks, Chicago's Northwest League affiliate. That was his last week with the Hawks, though. While other first round draftees are still negotiating signing bonuses, Schwarber is being promoted and will report to Class-A Kane County tomorrow.
Trea Turner, the Padres' first round draft pick, also made his professional debut, although it wasn't particularly memorable. The NC State grade went one for four with a walk and a pair of strikeouts as his team, the Eugene Emeralds, fell to the Spokane Indians by a score of six to four. It's been a rough start for the Emeralds, who fell to 0-4 on the season. As for Turner, he is a plus runner and an above average defender. His glove will carry him to the majors, but don't expect a showcase of offensive prowess, even in short season A-ball.
With the best debut on the other side of the ball was Hillsboro's Anderson Placido, who struck out 12 over five and a third shutout innings Sunday as the Hills defeated the Everett Aquasox 3-0. Placido, 20, was originally signed by the Indians and pitched for them in 2012, before being released. The Diamondbacks quickly scooped him up though, and after a successful campaign (2.59 ERA, 3.1 BB.9, 11.3 SO/9) in the Dominican Summer League last year , sent him to Hillsborough for 2014. A six foot tall, 190 pound lefty, he's not a prospect, not yet, but he will try to make a name for himself this summer in the Northwest League.
Off the field, the Hillsboro Hills' ballpark has been renamed to Ron Tonkin Field, after the recently deceased car magnate and local celebrity. The news comes in the wake of a ten year, 1.5 million dollar agreement between the City of Hilsboro and the Ron Tonkin family of dealerships.

Chavit Singson viral pic is from El Hombre Tequila commercial
Still, P.I.M.P.
Chavit Singson viral pic is from El Hombre Tequila commercial
Still, P.I.M.P.
Yet to understand all that is Pacquiao, one must understand the epical dysfunction of his entourage. Because the entourage is the everyday manifestation of the larger Pacquiao "thing"—the way the two narratives he carries within him obliterate each other, matter and antimatter.
Take Luis "Chavit" Singson. The Governor, they call him, though he no longer holds that office. He's a 68-year-old tobacco magnate and one of the most powerful men in the Philippines. He's Manny's main political sponsor and a close friend—the kind admitted into the ring after fights. The Governor takes care of things for Manny. Actually, the Governor takes care of all sorts of things, some of which he speaks about with surprising candor. Say, the millions of dollars in gambling kickbacks he gave to former Philippine president Joseph Estrada. Or beating up his mistress. Last summer, the Governor found her with a younger man. He and a number of cohorts allegedly rectified this situation with (among other implements) a tiger whip.
"I beat up both of them!" the Governor cheerfully told a radio interviewer in September, after a picture of the mistress, her face looking like a lasagna, appeared on the front page of The Philippine Star. "It's good I'm not ruthless," he added. "I didn't kill them."
The Governor was gracious enough to fly me and some two dozen other members of Team Pacquiao from Manila to General Santos for Manny's birthday party. We sat together. Later, one Team Pacquiao member expressed surprise that the Governor hadn't shown me the picture in his wallet.
"That guy's dick."
"After the Governor's guys had laid it on a table and whacked it with a hammer. It had to be surgically cut off after. Too mauled."
On the plane, I asked the Governor about Manny. "Girls squeal" in Pacquiao's presence, he remarked. "Like the sound of a pig being slaughtered!" But after a few minutes he changed the subject. "I have twelve tiger. When I home, I swim with them every day. But now I want to make liger, yes?" The product of a lion and a tiger. "So I bring lion in, and he do this, yes?" The Governor made a fucky-fucky motion with his right index finger and his closed left fist. "And he do, and he do. No liger. And so I make him do, and do some more. And then…acchhhhh!"
The Governor clasped his hands to his heart and rolled his eyes back in their orbits; his lion stud had literally died of a cardiac infarction while being made to copulate for the umpteenth time with one of his tigresses.
"No liger," the Governor said dejectedly.
Or take Joe Ramos, who was also on the Governor's plane. (He's the one who'd advised me to be "ready" at the Mandarin Oriental. After several scheduled interviews didn't materialize, I'd sought help from other Team Pacquiao handlers, whose contempt for Ramos was matched only by their contempt that I had not gone to them first.) Joe is a close friend of Manny's. Manny says so. Multiple members of Team Pacquiao say Ramos stole a substantial amount of money from Manny. (Manny and Joe call the issue a misunderstanding.) According to these members, Manny told Joe he was angry and saddened by the betrayal, but that he forgave him. So Joe remained in the fold.
The thing is, a number of people have stolen from Manny, been caught by Manny, then been forgiven by Manny: Never has a fighter been possessed of so pacifistic a nature. What's more, there seems to be a consensus that these redeemed-Judas tableaux were… pre-scripted.
"He has made numerous people in his camp believe in God with what he's done," Ramos says. "Do you understand?"
Abac Cordero puts it more directly: "I think he was put here to make us better men. There is a feeling that those who betrayed him had to, so that Manny could teach them."
"Sometimes, the way things happen with Manny, it's like, parables," Ramos says. "Here's one: At the last training camp there were about thirty of us there. Now, one of my jobs is to lower the overall costs of living. So we go to this Thai restaurant next to [Roach's gym]. Our bill there was between $500 and $700 every day. So I said, 'Manny, why don't we buy some food from the local Philippine restaurant and have it delivered to your apartment? It'll only cost about $150.' Manny took me by the shoulders and in front of everybody said, 'Don't ever mess with another man's livelihood. Now let us enjoy their food.' "
It is difficult for an American to comprehend the degree to which Manny Pacquiao keeps his disciples close. Not just emotionally but bodily. When training in Los Angeles, where Roach's gym is located, Pacquiao rarely stays in the home he recently purchased. Instead, some fifteen members of Team Pacquiao—an ever metastasizing organism currently comprising about three dozen men—stays in a dingy two-room apartment.
"Whoever's on the best terms with Manny at that moment sleeps closest to him, at the foot of his bed," Roach says. "You think I'm joking? The first time I went to the Philippines, they put four guys in my room. I said, 'What is this bullshit? I want my own room.' And they were like, 'Team Pacquiao likes to be together!' So I wound up in the bed, and these…guys, helpers, sparring partners, Manny's brother, Bobby, slept on the floor."
Why is it that the closer Manny Pacquiao brings his people to his bosom, the more incapable they become of speaking for him, representing him, even knowing him?
"Because they're scared," Roach says. "Nobody wants to be the guy who asks Manny the question that might irritate him on a particular day. If you're the guy who says, 'Manny, you're supposed to fly to Manila today,' and Manny doesn't want to hear it, you might not be the guy who gets to fluff his rice.""

|November 24
In 1784, on this day celebrated two-term President of the United States Zachary Taylor was born in Barboursville, Virginia.
Birth of President Zachary TaylorHis term of office was very nearly truncated by an unexpected event in 1850. Having smelled something funny in his dinner, he decided to throw it away rather than eat it. He complained to the White House kitchen, and the chef, upset that his cooking might be unacceptable, was somewhat surprised to find the dish he prepared still sitting on a counter.
The staff immediately searched the mansion and found Cletus Earl Hargrove, a Kentuckian like the president, who had slipped poison into the president's food in retaliation against Taylor's anti-slavery stance. Hargrove, terrified at being caught, named four co-conspirators, one of whom was a southern senator.
The resulting trial on assassination charges rocked the nation, and made Taylor a revered figure even in the south. Abolitionists used the trial to advance their agenda, and President Taylor introduced his Slow Freedom Initiative at the beginning of his second term in 1853. Under the terms of the initiative, all those born to slaves after the passage of the act would be free Americans; their parents would be freed once the free children reached the age of 18 years.
A new article by Robbie TaylorAlthough many Freedmen and abolitionists thought this was far too long a process, the south grudgingly accepted it as a way to hold onto a dying institution for a few more years. The last living American slave, Nathan Thomason of Cold Pork, Alabama, was given his freedom by presidential decree in 1937 at the age of 85 - he had been born the year before the SFI, and had never had children. He died shortly afterwards, but one of his cousins said, "At least he didn't have to die bound to that dastardly Thomason blackguard".
Following the passing of this dark chapter in American history, the country moved forward fairly united. Although racism against African-Americans was still quite strong in some pockets of the country, the long process of the SFI had made most Americans take a hard look at themselves and question why they had ever thought that one race of people should hold another captive. African-American Congressman Malcolm Little of Michigan proposed a national holiday to honor President Taylor in 1961, and the motion passed almost unanimously.

text: June 5, 2013 Italy's Most Faithful Foreign Lover By Andrea Lee Italy almost irresistibly tempts foreign commentators to cliché. It's far too easy to wander off into rhapsodies over the country's stunning beauty, grand sense of history, and sensual pleasures. Or, ignoring the bella figura, one can parse Italian political and economic shortcomings in a tone heavy on statistics and with a hint of scolding, the way a susceptible high-school teacher might speak of a seductive student. The generous cultural heritage of the peninsula offers a peerless collection of metaphors to overuse. (As an American who has lived in Italy for over thirty years, I've resorted to them more often than I care to remember.) Any Italian situation can be described as an opera. Or a Renaissance-court intrigue. Or the rule of some Roman emperor. Or a Fellini film. Or the Divine Comedy. Or even Mt. Vesuvius. The much-repeated quip of a German politician in response to the February election of Grillo and Berlusconi suggests commedia dell'arte: "Two Clowns." One of the few foreigners who come close to capturing the variegated reality of the country is the British author Tim Parks, bard of Italian quotidianity. I've never met Parks—though I've reviewed his work before—but I've always felt a fellow expatriate's matey admiration for him as somebody who really knows the ropes. Prolific fiction and nonfiction writer, translator of contemporary Italian literature from Moravia to Calasso, University of Milan professor, practitioner of Vipassana meditation, and tireless fan of Hellas Verona Football Club, Parks has lived for more than three decades in northern Italy. He has worked out a civilized relationship with his chosen country, based on patient attention to the minutiae of daily life. Continue reading»

Alex Rodriguez will return to the Yankees AND be suspended tomorrow
8/4/13 in MLB | Eric_ | 7716 respect
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, A-Rod will be suspended tomorrow, likely for the rest of this season and all of next season. However, unlike recent speculation, Bud Selig will not use the CBA's "best interest of baseball" clause to suspend A-Rod, thus taking away his right to appeal. Instead Selig will suspended Rodriguez via the Joint Drug Agreement. Because of this, again according to Sherman, A-Rod will be in the Yankees lineup tomorrow, on the same day he is suspended. Yankees manager Joe Girardi has essentially confirmed this, and that A-Rod has been "penciled in" to tomorrow's lineup.
Now, there's little doubt that A-Rod isn't guilty of whatever it is MLB has on him, although it would be nice to see the evidence against him. However, the process that Bud Selig has gone through to "get" A-Rod has been a meandering mess. If he's going to use the JDA to suspend him, he has to provide a reason for not using the 50/100/life process outlined in the JDA. I'm willing to go along with it if I knew the evidence, and if I didn't get the impression that MLB is flying by the seat of its pants acting solely out of vengeance. MLB wants a PR boost by "going after the cheaters," but all the delays, leaks, and misdirections just make them look amateurish. As a result, they get the farce of A-Rod coming back to the Yankees and getting suspended on the same day.
I'm all for violators of the JDA being held accountable, but due process is paramount, even if the player in question is unpopular. The way MLB and Selig have handled this whole Biogenesis situation makes me think due process isn't being followed, and that's what troubles me going forward.

We Are Not Invisible: 5 African Women Respond to the Kony 2012 Campaign
By Spectra Speaks On March 13, 2012 · 2 Comments
The Kony 2012, a campaign launched recently by Invisible Children to raise awareness of the issues of child soldiers in Uganda in which they propose what they believe to be the ultimate solution — arrest Kony, the LRA rebel leader responsible for over 30,000 child abductions — was met with overnight "success" (i.e. over 50 million views on YouTube) and then heightened controversy; there are critiques that suggest the video promotes a white saviorist approach to humanitarianism, others that applaud the effort but challenge the film's inaccuracies, and many more that call for the inclusion of more African voices in Invisible Children's advocacy efforts.
Almost overnight, the web was flooded with so much commentary from western media on the erasure of African voices that it became challenging for me to even locate perspectives from fellow Africans; ironically, African voices weren't initially just being drowned out by the success of IC's viral campaign, but by western voices sharing their own take. Fortunately, African voices stepped up to the plate, offering a wide range of perspectives; you can find a compilation of African responses to the campaign here, and a more general roundup of the Kony2012 issue here.
Nevertheless, I'm (as always) acutely aware of the amplification of male voices on the Kony 2012 campaign. Hence — and in the spirit of women's history month — I'd like to highlight African women's voices. The 5 women below aren't just adding to the conversation, but inspiring critical thinking about how we can be more conscious about the media we consume, more humble in our efforts to provide support to fellow global citizens, and mindful of the gift social media has given us. Africans now have the power to combat harmful narratives about Africa simply by telling our own.
So, here they are: 5 responses from African women to Kony 2012, and westerners seeking to support Africa, ethically and responsibly, now and in the future.
1) Solome Lemma
Involve African Leadership, Work with Organizations on the Ground
Soon after I heard about the Kony 2012 campaign (and watched the video), I read "You Do NOT Have My Vote" written by Solome Lemma under her Innovate Africa Tumblr.
Solome is also the Co-Founder of HornLight, a platform to share diverse, complex & nuanced narratives on the Horn of Africa. In this post, she stresses the need for African leadership:
…when your work and consequence affect a different group of people than your target audience, you must make it a priority to engage the voices of the affected population in a real and meaningful way, in places and spaces where programs are designed, strategies dissected, and decisions made.
Read the full post at innovateafrica.tumblr.com, and follow @InnovateAfrica on Twitter.
2) Rosebell Kagumire
Respect Africa's Agency, Don't Paint Us As Voiceless
While the cyberspace heated up with written critique upon written critique, Rosebell KAgumire, a Ugandan blogger and journalist that covered the LRA several years ago, decided to post a video summarizing her thoughts.
In this video, she passionately asserts the danger of a single story to dehumanize a people:
"How you tell the stories of Africans is much more important that what the story is; because if you are showing me as voiceless, as hopeless [then] you have no space telling my story. You shouldn't be telling my story if you don't believe that I also have the power to change what is going on."
Rosebell also stresses the importance of including African leadership, as well as engaging other political players such as the Ugandan government and other African countries before attempting to implement any solutions.
Visit Rosebell's blog here, and follow @RosebellK
3) Betty Oyella Bigombe
Historical Context is Necessary for Any Future Solutions
Although Betty isn't currently directly involved with peace efforts for the LRA, nor has she written a formal response to the Invisible Children campaign, she has been quoted and cited several times as a notable Ugandan peace-seeking activist the Kony2012 video erases by suggesting that there's been limited attention called to the issue. Not only was Betty previously tasked with convincing the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) guerilla rebels –negotiating with Kony himself over 10 years ago — to lay down their arms, following the failure of military efforts to defeat the rebels, her shared experiences working from all sides of the conflict provide counter to IC's claim that there are just good guys and bad guys. From CSMonitor.com:
Bigombe has seen the LRA's brutality first-hand. In 1995, when she was a government minister, she was the first outsider on the scene of one of its bloodiest massacres. Rebels attacked a town and captured about 220 men, women, and children. The villagers were marched several miles to a riverbank and all methodically executed.
Yet sometimes Bigombe sees glimmers of humanity, too. Once, one LRA commander grew pensive during a conversation. He wondered how his fellow northerners would perceive him after all the terrible things the LRA has done. He asked plaintively, "Can I ever go home again?"

4) Dayo Olopade
Support the Mundane March Towards Progress, Not Just Internet Sensationalism
As a fellow Nigerian, I was thrilled to see Dayo mentioned in this list of Africans commenting on the Kony 2012 campaign. She recently wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times about the gap between what the the Kony 2012 campaign suggests as a solution and what Ugandan people dealing with the daily impact of this conflict actually need. Here is an excerpt (edited for brevity):
In Kampala last month, I met Hadijah Nankanja, the local director of Women of Kireka, a collective of women touched by Kony's marauding violence… Hadijah and I tried to come up with a way forward. Food production? Tailoring? Hair salons? And so forth. We didn't come up with a concrete plan, but opening a small restaurant seemed to be the front-running proposition. Our informal brainstorming session took about the same time as does watching "Kony 2012." I dare suggest that time spent marshaling such reserves of imagination, communion and capital to support jobs for displaced victims is far more helpful than this sort of advocacy. The kinds of problems Hadijah is trying to understand and solve are less sexy than the horror stories trailing behind Kony. But they are the nut worth cracking. The mundane march of progress in poor countries is what 'awareness' campaigns often miss. And when, as in this case, success is determined by action from outside the region, cries of a new imperialism should be taken seriously. Few international NGOs working in Africa define success properly — as putting themselves out of business. Invisible Children seems no better."
Dayo is a Nigerian-American journalist covering global politics and development policy. She is writing a book about innovation in Africa. You can follow her at @madayo on Twitter.
5) Semhar Araia
Use Media to Amplify African Voices, Not Just Your Own
Semhar is the founder of the Diaspora African Women's Network (DAWN), which "develops and supports talented women and girls of the African diaspora."
In her opinion piece at the Christian Science Monitor, "Learn to Respect Africans," Semhar refocuses the conversation on the impact of media on young people thirsty for information:
… young people's minds are open and hungry. They should be inspired by knowing Africa is empowered, saving itself, and working with partners to remove Kony. That is the real story. Invisible Children must be willing to take their followers on a journey through the Africa that Africans know. They must be willing to inspire – but also to manage – their followers' expectations. They must be willing to use their media to amplify African voices, not simply their own.
It's no wonder she started the twitter hashtag, #WhatILoveAboutAfrica. In response to negative portrayals of the continent put forth by western media, and most recently, through the Kony 2012 campaign, Semhar commands that we do more than just critique visions of Africa, but create them ourselves. Follow @Semhar and @DawnInc on Twitter.
So, that's the word — African women have spoken. If you're interested in supporting the people of Northern Uganda, but would like an alternative to donating to Invisible Children, consider supporting organizations such as Hope North Uganda and The Women of Kireka. In fact, Invisible Children has recently shared a list of other organizations working on the this issue in Uganda.
Finally, if you're itching for a new video to share, share this one, make this one go viral. Viva Africa.

Georges (Modern Library Classics)by Alexandre Dumas
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Long out of print in America, Alexandre Dumass most daring narrative is now available in this major new translation by Tina A. Kover. Filled with intrigue, romance, and deadly vengeance, Georges is the story of a wealthy mulatto boy who is driven from his island home by racist landowners. Returning to Mauritius as an accomplished young man, Georges pits his strength against a powerful plantation owner, leading a dramatic slave uprising and claiming the heart of a beautiful white woman. Georges stands apart as the only book by Dumas that explores the potent subject of race.
Praise for Georges:
"A rousing and vivid adventure . . . packed with action and atmosphere."
-The Columbus Dispatch
"A remarkable discovery . . . We are indebted to Werner Sollors and Jamaica Kincaid for providing us with a critical lens for the journey Dumas has created out of his own generous and expansive imagination."
-Rudolph P. Byrd, Emory University
"As compelling and relevant today as it was back in the 1840s, when it was first published."
-Adrienne Kennedy, author of Funnyhouse of a Negro

Former presidential hopeful Rick Santorum did not take a photo WITH Lindsay Lohan last night -- but sources at the White House Correspondents' Dinner tell TMZ ... he took one OF her.
According to our sources inside the party, LiLo was sitting with Fox News personality Greta Van Susteren when Santorum came up to say hello. We're told Lindsay was asked to take a picture of him with Greta using his camera, which she did.
Then ... our sources say Rick asked to take a photo of Lindsay using his camera. Yes ... of just Lindsay.
We're told Lindsay smiled and obliged and Santorum then went on his way.
Our photog asked Rick about the picture after the party ... and he played dumb about the photo.
He might not be running for President any more, but he can't take any chances.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out. )Too bad it's not the real Faker saying it's leaving.
Home from work...any juicy crap??
Firefly & Maddy, it looks to me like she is trying to cut her way through the crowd to get back at her table. Who in the world would not just stand on the outskirts until the formalities are done? Girl has zero social skills.
Another thing that has Kris Jenner pissed is that earlier Lindsay once again stole the Kardashians thunder by having a meltdown (withdrawals)in the restroom. She was the star of the bathroom and star of the show. By revealing to much physically and not enough mentally Lindsay was the show that everyone was watching, waiting for the inevitable trainwreck. No one was interested in the Lardassians
Take a look at "IT'S" profile. Only 4 posts there and none of the drivel posted tonight. WTF?

Attention Ladies and Gentlemen and all the ships at sea: Coming soon to a Quicky Mart near you....Lindsay Lohan trading cards. Be the first on your block to have a limited set. That is all. Return to your normal broadcasting.
From Cindy Adams at the NY Post:
We speak now of Saturday's annual White House Correspondents Association black-tie hot-shot hoo-hah dinner in Washington, DC. We speak now that Place Settings One and Two were not Him and Her Obama on the dais. Nor Robert Pattinson's nor emcee Jimmy Kimmel's.
Triple-A four-star seating was John Coale's. His was last year's biggest table because he brought Sarah Palin. His was this year's biggest table because he brought Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan, who, trust me, upped sitting next to Anna Paquin or the riveting Bobby Jindal.
So what's a John Coale? Retired lawyer who made heavy money on those tobacco cases and was with his longtime wife, Fox-TV's Greta Van Susteren, and writer/restaurateur friend Elaine Lafferty, who blew her Old Mill Inn opening in the Hamptons to attend.
Kardashian and mummy Kris Jenner did red wine. Lindsay, whose plus-one was her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, drank water. KK and LL, friends, stuck to each other. Did the red carpet together. Kardashian, cool, serious, business-like. Lindsay, fragile; almost claustrophobic, anxiety with the crowd. Jessica Alba canceled when hearing she'd be seated with Miss Lohan.
Lindsay disappeared a few times into the john. For a cigarette. Said she doesn't usually smoke but is boning up on it to prep for her Elizabeth Taylor role. In the ladies room an elderly Hispanic named Bianca was cleaning the stalls. Tearing up, the front-paged blond actress felon said: "You're too old to be doing this."
She reached into her purse, crumpled a $100 bill in her hand and gave it to the attendant, who, backing away, said, "No, no, no." Lindsay Lohan pushed the money at her with: "You're too old to be doing this kind of work." Bianca finally took it.
After the evening Kardashian and Lohan returned to their hotels. Neither hit any of those many multi-after-parties that, even now, are probably still going on.

I can imagine LL being rude enough to insult someone doing an honest job. The part I don't buy is that Lindsay gave her money. Uh-uh. Never happened.
Call me Rick Santorum......
That's precisely why we didn't vote for him... a tad 'dishonest' hmmm
Well I'm off to bed now guys, see y'all tomorrow.

FMA: Brotherhood episode 31
Just wanted to share this.
I really like this anime/manga, all of the characters are so well depicted. Their stories are interesting as well as touching.
Doctor Nox is not one of my favourite characters but this episode just made me cry. How he asks God to look past him and his son and daughter having a cup of coffee just breaks my heart :'(
What a great anime! It makes me cry like a 5-year-old girl but I still love it ;)

One of the top necessities for all the human beings is water. However, it is essential that we use water that is clean and safe. One of the water issues that carry an impact not only for our health, but also for the life of our home appliances and plumbing is hard water. An appliance that helps to solve this issue is a water softener. It's a system that works through a chemical process and makes the hard water soft. But how do you determine the right type of water softener for your home? Read below for advice.
The water is considered to be hard if it contains a high level of minerals. The minerals that make it hard are calcium and magnesium. First thing you should do before starting to look for a water softener is determine if you do have hard water and what is its level.
One simple way to see if you have hard water problems in your home is with the use of a bottle and some liquid soap. Shake up a half-filled water bottle and then spill it out. Fill it again half way with water and also add 5-6 drops of any liquid soap, can be dish washing soap. Screw on the cap and give the bottle a second round of shaking it up. After a good shake, remove the cap. If you see the bottle full of foam and it's overflowing through the cap, your water does not have hardness issues. On the other hand, if all you see is soapy film, the water is hard.
An alternative option for testing water hardness is with the help of a test kit. They usually use strips and can tell you both if the water is hard and its level.
After determining that the water you use is actually hard, the next step is calculating the capacity of water usage in your home. The average water usage is 80 gallons per person. So multiply your household members by 80 and you will have the number of gallons you consume daily.
The next calculation involves the hardness level of the water. This will help you to understand the needed capacity of the water softening system. It's usually measured in grains that need to be removed. You can find out the amount
of hardness using a special test kit or take the average number, which is 10 grains per gallon. So for the final calculation you need to multiply 10 by the total number of gallons that you daily consume. The result is the total amount of grains that you will need for the water softener to filter. According to this number you will need to look for a water softener with the right capacity. Knowing the capacity, start looking for different types of water softening systems.
Main Types of Water Softening Systems
Timer regenerated:
These units are equipped with a timer that you can set for regeneration after each particular period of time based on your daily water usage. Most of these systems usually use salt or potassium chloride for the regeneration and for each process it uses about 8 pounds of salt. Meter regenerated. The system of these units first analyzes your household's water usage and then adjusts the regeneration to fit it. This option is more
efficient compared to the previous system. It regenerates only when needed. Thus saving water waste and salt usage. It's the most popular choice among buyers.
Manually regenerated:
These units come without a timer or meter. The regeneration is activated using a simple level. So you regenerate the water softener only when you want to. It's a good option for those that don't have a
drain where they could place the water softener. In this case, when regenerating, you will need to attach a garden hose and find a drain.


text: And in this time of need, I have a trailer that is in need of a good home. it is a 6X12 ft trailer, single axle with flow through vents and inside lights. The back is a drop down design for easy loading and unloading and there is a door in the side for front entryway. Great for War and/or local weekend events. If you're interested, give me a holler at this e-mail address. It's only 2 years old. See ya next time, Diane Taylor http://dianet-write.weebly.com/ http://paranormal-minds.blogspot.com/ http://groups.google.com/group/order-of-demented-dreamers Writers don't get mad, they write books.

This job is no longer available
Further information
Randstad Education is the UK Market Leader and our specialist team have been helping teachers and support staff to find temporary and permanent education jobs for nearly 20years. We have an unrivalled reputation within Primary schools in the London Boroughs, and work with over 2,500 schools each week to find the right match for your skills.
We take great pride in the extremely high service levels that we provide to both our schools and our candidates. Our service is honest and efficient and, in addition to our recruitment solution, we offer the opportunity for additional training and development for our candidates. You will also receive personalised career support from the team.
Due to our long running success as the official School Supply service for both Lambeth and Lewisham Borough Councils, we currently need more teachers to help us meet the increasing demands of schools in Southwark who have been recommended to us by their neighbouring boroughs.
The School: We are currently looking for a KS2 teacher to cover PPA for the summer term on behalf of a 2form community primary school in Southwark. The school also has a nursery on site, and was graded "Outstanding" during its most recent Ofsted. The school is proud of its academic achievements, with a high proportion of children achieving well above average every year in both KS1 and KS2 SATs, and 18children achieving a Level6 in 2012. Places at this school are highly sought after due to its reputation in the area as well as its position on local and national performance tables. Parents are encouraged to become involved in school life, volunteering their time both in the classroom and with extra curricular trips and activities. The ideal teacher would therefore be someone who embraces this community ethos, encouraging parents to work in partnership with the school, allowing pupils development and learning to continue at home and provide consistency for them, enabling pupils to reach the academic expectations the school desires of them.
The Children: Southwark is a highly diverse area, with many schools having pupils from a wide variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. This can lead to a range of ability levels, as well as EAL needs, however the schools have a strong support network of specialist TAs and other resources to assist teachers. The pupils can display challenging behaviour due to their varying home lives, so the ideal teachers will be those with strong personalities who have creative and practical methods of classroom management and can deliver inclusive lessons, which make children eager to learn and become more involved in their own learning journeys.
The Job: We are looking for teachers with QTS this Long Term assignment who can:
- Be able to teach in KS2.
- Cover Year3- Year6 PPA.
- Commit to the position for the duration of the summer term.
- Have relevant up to date experience in UK schools.
- Preferably have knowledge of SATs requirements, but this is not essential.
- Ensure effective classroom management in line with schools' behaviour policies.
- Treat every assignment as if it is a permanent role, injecting a sense of purpose into the classroom ad helping the schools continue to have a positive impact on pupils' lives to the best of your ability.
- Provide references to cover the last 12months, as well as be willing to complete a CRB/DBS check alongside other safeguarding checks and requirements.
In reward for our teachers' hard work and commitment we provide competitive rates of pay with no hidden deductions, access to Randstad Education's online CPD portfolio, bespoke CPD courses ran by professionals (often free of charge), long term and permanent job opportunities locally as well as across the UK and internationally, a dedicated consultant with a 24/7 on call facility and a honest and trustworthy approach that matches you to the right school.

These enchiladas use a Texas-style enchilada sauce - the sauce's main ingredient is chile powder, not tomato. They are quite popular. For the chicken, I buy a whole pre-cooked chicken and dice up the breast meat. This provides about 1 and 1/2 cups. Reserve the rest of the chicken for another use. The sauce can be made gluten free by using corn starch. See instructions below.

13 Best Grilling Tips
Warm weather (and even cold weather, for some hardy souls) inspires us to cook on the grill. Grilling adds a unique, smoky flavor to foods, and it's a super-quick cooking method. The grill's flames can develop rich, complex flavors in standard fare like burgers and chicken and even in less-traditional grilled dishes, such as pizza and desserts. These 13 grilling tips will have you cooking with fire like a pro in no time!
1. Gas vs. Charcoal? The age-old debate over which grilling method is "better" involves multiple variables, from flavor to cost to convenience. While no studies prove that either is healthier, gas does burn cleaner. Charcoal grills emit more carbon monoxide, particulate matter and soot into the atmosphere, contributing to increased pollution and higher concentrations of ground-level ozone. From a taste perspective, on the other hand, many people prefer the smokier, richer taste of food cooked on a charcoal grill.
2. Get it hot! Preheat your grill 15 to 25 minutes before you start cooking to make sure it reaches the right temperature (and to kill any bacteria). Your grill should be 400-450°F for high, 350-400°F for medium-high, 300-350°F for medium and 250-300°F for low heat. A properly heated grill sears foods on contact, keeps the insides moist and helps prevent sticking. While searing doesn't "seal in" the juices (contrary to popular belief ), it does create improved flavors through caramelization.
3. Is all charcoal grilling considered equal? Conventional briquettes may contain wood scraps and sawdust as well as coal dust, sodium nitrate, borax and additives like paraffin or lighter fluid. As for lighter fluid, we recommend avoiding it altogether. Lighter fluid can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air, leave an unpleasant residue on food and pose a serious danger if used improperly.
4. Brush it off. It's easier to remove debris when the grill is hot, so after preheating, use a long-handled wire grill brush on your grill rack to clean off charred debris from prior meals. Scrape again immediately after use.
5. Oil it up. Even on a clean grill, lean foods may stick when placed directly on the rack. Reduce sticking by oiling your hot grill rack with a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel: hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
6. Safety first. Food safety is a top priority, so keep these simple rules from the USDA in mind: avoid cross-contamination by using separate cutting boards, utensils and platters for raw and cooked foods; refrigerate foods while marinating; and never baste with the marinating liquid. (Make extra marinade just for basting or boil your marinating liquid first.)

Okay, so, these thoughts turned into an essay, essentially. I wrote this in one sitting, and have not properly sat down and read this, but since it is after 2:30am where I live right now, I just want to get this up and then go to bed.
Note: There are spoilers for this episode (and previous episodes) of Psycho-Pass, as well as for Nineteen Eighty-Four (it has also been a very long time since I read this book in junior year of high school, so I may have slightly messed up in my references to the issues found in that text, feel free to correct me if that did happen).
So for this reason, as well as length, my thoughts will be placed under a Read More. Now, read, enjoy, feel free to add comments and whatnot, and simply have fun! :D
EDIT: I made some corrections on the parts concerning Sasayama, because I am an idiot who forgot that he was an Enforcer, not an Inspector. (This is why I should not write at 2 in the morning).
First, I am going to start by analyzing the name of this episode: Devil's Crossroad. This is obviously meant to reference Yayoi's choice to become an Enforcer or to join a rebellion. Devil's Crossroad is basically another way of saying "making a deal with the Devil," but I think here it could also imply that she was in a "between a rock and a hard place" decision. No matter which she choice it would have been bad.
But, in the end, Yayoi chose the Sybil system, she chose power.
And power was a very, very important and prominent aspect of this episode. First, we have music. Music is a very powerful thing. Music exists in all countries, all cultures, and all human societies in the world - and music exists among animals as well. People can be moved to tears by the sound of a piano note, people can be invigorated by strum of a guitar, and people's bodies can involuntarily and spontaneously move to the steady beat of a drum. Music can do all that before words are even involved, and the moment you add lyrics - messages can get out.
Messages are a very dangerous thing, and therefore, music is dangerous in how universal and powerful it is and just how easy it is for a medium like that to spread messages like wildfires.
So, this society "regulates" music and musicians, and tries to control it. Music and messages can be dangerous, but only when in the wrong hands, or so, this is how the leaders see it, the ones controlling the Sybil System. In their hands, it is a powerful tool that they can use to keep the masses in check through propaganda, I did not need to hear a single lyric of Yayoi's groups songs to know that that was what they were. Of course, with something as powerful as music, there is no way it can be completely and utterly "regulated." It is simply impossible. And Yayoi's love interest, Rina, showed us that.
Yayoi seemed to be in love with Rina, those are all the hints we were given. Yayoi was moved not necessarily by Rina's music, but by Rina herself. She wanted to be with her and near her. She wanted to keep her nails nice and wanted those guitar strings, not because of her love for music (she was selected to be a musician by the Sybil System) but because of her love for Rina. Rina, who chose to be a musician. There is, of course, a huge difference there.
Urobuchi commented on romance in the world of Psycho-Pass, which you can read here, and it certainly appears as if the system simply ended up having more power than love. Just like in another society that was already hinted at in this series. During the episode with the internet meet up raid, Makishima was shown to be reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
This is a novel, which contains an all knowing system called Big Brother (which is symbolized by a giant eye) and a fascist (and communist) society that cannot see that it is fascist at all. There is a supposed Resistance, which the main character discovers, but resistance in this society (especially one that has the movement of going from the outside, in) cannot and does not exist for long, or even at all. To put it simply, Big Brother is behind the Resistance, as well.
Once one has been caught, they are brought to the Ministry of Love, where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally broken down (and any and all remains of romantic love are squashed) through means of torture and then brainwashing. After this, the person has "love" - "love" for Big Brother and the society in which this individual lives.
In the world of Psycho-Pass, to do a comparison with the above, you have the Sybil System. A system which, by name alone, can tell you that it is meant to "see" everything. We most commonly think of the Sybil System in conjunction with crime and punishment. In this episode in particular, the Denominators get referred to as the "Sybil's Eyes" and when Yayoi, who was not given permission to use the gun (was not given power) she was essentially powerless at stopping the woman who she once seemed to love from leaving her behind and heading off to a possible (and likely) execution. After all, with all of the parallels to Nineteen Eighty-Four, I would not be surprised in the least if this "resistance" that Rina mentioned turned out to be something created by the ones working the Sybil System, for the Sybil System.
(Also, a side note, Yayoi was just as powerless here as Akane was with a non-Denominator gun).
But, the Sybil System does far more than that, it selects and decides for someone (unless you happen to be a special case like Akane) the job that they are going to have. And all jobs are seen as being the same, while some may be ranked as more elite than others, everyone gets paid the same (this is noted in the link posted on romance in Psycho-Pass). The Sybil System also has it's own "Ministry of Love," which is the Rehabilitation Center.
The individuals there have no free will, no power. They are constantly monitored, the sound system repeats the same mantra of "improvement" over and over and over again, and the "patients" are given gas that makes them pass out when their hue darkens. They have everything stripped away from them. Some stay there forever, never improving, some probably die, and others are able to go free (because the indoctrination process was a success, so to speak).
In Ninteen Eighty-Four, the main character is also released, but unlike Yayoi, he is not offered a position where power is, finally, granted back to him. Instead he becomes just like everyone else and sits, drinking tea and loving Big Brother, powerless. Yayoi, though, is given the option to have power. More power, most likely, than she even had before she got taken in by the Rehabilitation Center.
Working from the outside, in order to bring about change won't work. The Resistance is still powerless, because no matter how much power they think they might have, they really don't have any at all. Yayoi though, she is able to feel power, and the weight of it, in her own hands. She holds something that could allow one to try working form the inside, out in order to bring about some kind of change. So, Yayoi chooses power.
Moving away from Yayoi, Kougami, who in this episode was still an Inspector, used power as well. He basically bribed Yayoi at first into trying out being an Enforcer. But, he does not only use power, he gave power as well. He shared his power with Yayoi, even if it was only a bluff in the end. When it comes to our two Inspectors (and one Enforcer): Kougami has power and distributes it, Gino has power and utilizes it, and Sasayama (from what I was able to gather in this episode alone) has power and takes advantage of it.
When I first heard Kougami describe Sasayama I was put off to the character, but I also just kind of shrugged it off, too. But in this episode, when we finally got to see Sasayama in action, I was actually disgusted by his behavior. He was so quick to pull the trigger on those two men by the bar, so quick to pull the trigger on his gun. He is ready and waiting to shoot the musician and the girl he took hostage (after he was attacked first by the Inspectors and Enforcer) before the Crime Coefficients of either reached a level that would require action.
This is so vastly different from Akane who couldn't pull the trigger of the Denominator, despite knowing that the person in front of her was most certainly a criminal. When Akane shoots off her Denominator, the Sybil System is most definitely the one who is doing the thinking and the killing.
When Sasayama pulled the trigger of the Denominator, he was the one doing the thinking and killing. Sasayama had power, he liked the power that he had, and he used it every chance that he could -you can see it in his eyes when it was in the club, that was not just "reckless" behavior, he was getting off on being able to exert power over others. He appears as if he is getting drunk on power.
This makes me realize just how much of a latent criminal Kougami really is not. The other Enforcers present don't really seem to have this same type of behavior, either. Case in point being Yayoi. She pulled that Denominator trigger after a long, hard debate within herself. Of course, like Sasayama, she was the one who pulled the trigger, not the Sybil System. But, unlike him, she did it out of her love and desire to protect Rina - not out of some power trip.
Really, this shows how the Sybil System may be able to catch one or two people who are actually a danger to society, while also imprisoning many who simply need some therapy, freedom, and love.
And now, I will wrap all of this up by saying that I really enjoyed this week's episode and the issue of power play that was brought up in it!

Metallic belts!
Reddish dresses!
All these boldly-colored dresses paired up with shiny, hard metallic belts were a revelation on the red carpet of the Golden Globes.
Jennifer Lawrence looks so vibrant and dreamy, but also hard and cool.
And Marion Cotillard (below) took hers in a cocktail length without sacrificing any of the metallic greatness or vivid brightness.
These ladies on the red carpet looked like super heros. They looked beautiful and tough.
The gown lures you into a false sense of security, and you're drinking champers and eating pâté and then you make one false move, one offensive statement and all of a sudden, POW! you're down on the ground.
Because these women will crush you if you turn against them.
More metallic belts in 2013!

text: Slain Fan Was Son of Dodgers Security Guard Print article Send a Tip from AP 26 Sep 2013 post a comment (AP) Dodgers: Slain fan was son of team security guardBy SUDHIN THANAWALA and TERRY COLLINSAssociated PressSAN FRANCISCOThe man who was fatally stabbed during a confrontation after a Dodgers-Giants game in San Francisco was the son of a Dodgers security guard, the team said Thursday.The Dodgers said Jonathan Denver's father, Robert Preece, worked security on game days at Dodger Stadium.San Francisco police say Denver, 24, was walking with his father, brother and two other people not far from the San Francisco Giants' ballpark Wednesday night when their group exchanged words with some Giants fans who were leaving a nightclub.The exchange turned physical and Denver, who was wearing Dodgers gear, was stabbed to death."There is no rational explanation for this senseless act," the Dodgers said in a written statement. "The pain that this has caused his family and friends is unimaginable."Denver attended the game with his relatives but left in the eighth inning of what turned out to be a 6-4 Giants victory. His attackers did not attend the game, police said.San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said two people were in custody, and one of them will face homicide charges."One of the suspects during the course of the interviews (with detectives) made incriminating statements that give us the indication that he will be the person booked for homicide," Suhr told reporters."We're trying to figure out what we're going to do with the other suspect," Suhr continued. "The investigation is still ongoing."Suhr did not release the name of the suspects in the stabbing, which has punctuated a bitter rivalry between division rivals.The altercation several blocks from AT&T Park was the second violent confrontation between Dodgers and Giants fans in the past several years to end in death or serious injury. Bryan Stow, a Northern California paramedic and Giants fan suffered a traumatic brain injury after two men dressed in Dodgers gear attacked him following the teams' March 31, 2011, game in Los Angeles.In Wednesday's attack, Denver, his father and his brother had left a bar around 11:30 p.m. when they exchanged heated words about the Giants-Dodgers rivalry with another group of people leaving a nightclub a few blocks away from the ballpark.One of the members of the group was wearing a Giants hat, Suhr said.At first, no one was seriously hurt in a fight that occurred about 90 minutes after the game ended, but a second altercation occurred a few minutes later, Suhr said."We're not sure at this time who wouldn't let it go. It wasn't clear who started the second fight," Suhr said, but it ended with Denver's stabbing."Obviously, this is one of the most storied rivalries in baseball. That said, and I'm a big Giants fan, there is no place at these games for violence," Suhr said. "Nobody's life should be at stake whether they are at the game, leaving the game, whether it's six blocks away and an hour and a half after the game."Police were canvassing the area Thursday looking for the weapon used to kill Denver and any surveillance video of the crime. The suspects' car is registered in Lodi in San Joaquin County, police said.Denver was born in Los Angeles County but was living in Fort Bragg, about 170 miles north of San Francisco, according to public records. He and his brother came to San Francisco to attend the game with their father, who lives in Southern California, said Cas Smith, the owner of North Coast Plumbing in Fort Bragg, where Denver worked."He was a hardworking kid," Smith told KNTV-TV.Denver did have two recent brushes with the law in Mendocino County, according to KGO-TV. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in July, and for public intoxication at the county fair this month.Police said they didn't know if alcohol was a factor in the stabbing.The Giants said in a statement that they would observe a moment of silence for Denver at Thursday's game and increase security around the ballpark."While details are still emerging, we want to be clear that there is absolutely no place in our community for this type of senseless violence," the team said in a statement.Police, too, said they planned to have more officers on the streets, although they said their presence is already higher during Giants-Dodgers games.The teams, which moved west in the 1950s _ the Dodgers from Brooklyn and the Giants from New York City _ are longtime, fierce National League Western Division rivals, and passions tend to run high when the teams play in both cities.The Giants won the World Series last year and in 2010 but are poised to miss the playoffs this season. The Dodgers, on the other hand, were in last place just two months ago but clinched the division last week.Violence has marred previous contests between the teams. In 2003, Giants fan Marc Antenorcruz, 25, was fatally shot by a group of Dodgers fans after a drunken argument at Dodger Stadium.Stow, the paramedic beaten in a parking lot after the Dodgers' 2011 home opener, is still recovering from his injuries.Two Dodgers fans are awaiting trial on charges in the beating, which sparked outrage and brought stadium security changes around the state and country.___Contributing to this report were Associated Press writers Lisa Leff and Jason Dearen in San Francisco, AP Sports Writer Beth Harris in Los Angeles, and researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York.

In review, Nehemiah has asked the king of Persia for support to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and in spite of regional opposition and threats, the project was successful.
For the first time the people of Jerusalem were able to live normal lives without fear of attack. However, Nehemiah's goal was never just to strengthen Jerusalem's security, but to revitalize a spiritual community. The wall was rebuilt, but a strong defense wasn't enough. After reconstruction comes reinstruction. Israel needed to be strong in the Lord, and for that to happen, they needed to be a "people of the book." They had lost touch with their religious heritage. Their distinctiveness as God's chosen people could only be preserved by obedience to the Torah--the Law of God. So Nehemiah brought Ezra the priest and scribe, to read to the people the Scriptures. More people showed up than opening day at Fenway. Ezra began with prayer, he read the text, others translated it, and then they explained it…so the people could understand God's will.
There was no new manifesto issued that day, but rather the historic foundational articles of the faith, presented with divine authority. Ezra read from the Pentateuch, the Five Books of Moses. It was their first exposure to sacred Scripture. The starting point for spiritual renewal is the Book of books. As Ezra read the words of life, it was like discovering a whole new world.
The people were hungry for God's word; they listened attentively. Do you have a similar craving? Do you take time daily to read your Bible? The people of Jerusalem stood and listened for 6 hours; could you spare 20 minutes out of your day? That's less time than a TV show. The Apostle Peter says that if you're a Christian you crave Scripture like a baby craves milk (I Pet 2:2). 20 minutes…think of how, over time, you would gain a better understanding of your faith, not to mention the encouragement you'd receive.
God's word directs our paths. "When all else fails, follow the instructions!" How do we respond to the reading of Scripture? Does it grip us, excite us, move us? If we're going to be honest, we're frankly unaccustomed to such hunger for the Bible. Yet I can remember passing out Spanish Bibles to Cuban refugees during the Mariel boatlift; you'd have thought I was passing out gold bars! The Bible was forbidden in Cuba…yet here in America with all our religious freedom, we take this treasure for granted. Do we love God's word? Love for the Bible is normal Christianity; it may not be average, but it's normal. We need to dust off our Bibles and read them. Do you want to hear from God? Do you want to know His will? Open the Book. A good place to start is Psalm 119, a poem in which each verse praises the value and significance of Scripture.
God seeks us--He calls us--by His word. "The Bible is an invitation to know God. If you wish to know God, you must know His word" (Spurgeon). Eugene Peterson writes, "The Bible is writing intended to change our lives and not just stuff some information into the cells of our brains." Is that how we see it? Hebrews 4:12 calls the Bible a two-edged sword. For some, it's a sword hung up in a closet and left to

The staff was extremely nice and cooperative. A girl at the front desk was very nice in booking my cab ride to LaGuardia. They were also good about holding my bags from my 11am checkout until my 7:45pm cab to the airport. The hotel is old. The room was in the best possible shape, given the age of the hotel. The free parking for the rental car I had for two nights was very convenient.

ComfortablePosted Aug 1, 2014
Pros: The staff are super friendly and often went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Excellent price for a New York Hotel.
Location: Location is outside of New York in a borough but is within 10 minutes walking distance to the Railway that takes you easily to Penn Station NY.
The hotel rooms are comfortable and the bed and pillows rare excellent allowing for the "Best Sleep Ever at a Hotel". There were some electrical / computer glitches at the Hotel but the staff were super friendly and very professional and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. The hotel is located outside of NY in a neighbourhood that we felt was very quiet and very safe. If you don't mind walking 10 minutes to the Railway and riding a few stops to Penn Station - this is an excellent Hotel option as the price is fantastic and the stay is comfortable with friendly staff (especially the Manager). In my next visit to New York - I plan in staying in this hotel again.

Yeah, I just tested it and custom icons show properly for me as well. The original poster seems pretty high on "Apple thinking of everything, eventually" though... so perhaps they'll think of making custom icons work in the sidebar, for everyone, eventually. ;-)

Two boys said they were attacked at the Birdland Pool in Des Moines Thursday evening.
The 11- and 12-year-old boys said they were jumped and punched near 300 Holcomb Avenue.
One of the boys' mothers called police to report the incident, and threatened retaliation if no one was arrested.
An officer advised the mother not to make threats.
The case remains under investigation.
