Tea Pea is an aladdin's cave of cool and colourful homewares and accessories. It's one of those shops that you could easily spend 1/2 hour browsing through trying desperately to narrow down your favourites from 'everything!!' to something you can at least fit in your house.
Meg and Scott the husband and wife team behind the shop, source or design the products themselves. The collection is filled with items they'd love to have in their own family home and their care and pride really shows.
I like how Meg and Scott bring a personal touch to their shop. Online they share a couple of details about their lives and it's this approachability and mateship that make them stand out from other shops. That, and the rocking products.
They've got a real life shop in Khandallah, Wellington and an online shop for the rest of us.

Thousand Guineas winner Commanding Jewel has joined her unbeaten half-sister Atlantic Jewel as an autumn carnival absentee.
On the verge of starting the serious part of a preparation aimed at having her peak for the Sydney carnival, Commanding Jewel has suffered a joint injury.
"She has tweaked a joint and will need a little bit of an operation," the filly's managing co-owner Brad Spicer said.
"It's nothing serious but it's a shame because we deliberately gave her a light spring to concentrate on the autumn."
By leading sire Commands, Commanding Jewel cemented her standing as one of Australia's most valuable fillies when she completed her first racing campaign with a Group One Thousand Guineas win in October.
Spicer said trainer Leon Corstens had in the past week started to increase Commanding Jewel's workload.
"She was about four weeks into her preparation and Leon was just about to up the ante with her," he said.
"Thankfully the injury isn't long-term and she will be back for the spring."
Atlantic Jewel, the 2011 Thousand Guineas winner, has been off the scene with a troublesome tendon injury since last year's Sydney autumn carnival.
Unbeaten in seven starts, Atlantic Jewel has been cleared to return to work but trainer Mark Kavanagh will reportedly take a conservative approach with the mare and save her for the spring.
In spite of Commanding Jewel's setback, there are high hopes for the autumn and winter carnival prospects of horses racing under the Spicer Thoroughbreds banner.
"Even without Commanding Jewel we've probably got the best depth we've ever had," Spicer said.
The team will include South Australian Derby winner Zabeelionaire, import Rosello, three-year-olds Sekiguchi and Wolfpack as well as Fantome Gris, a two-year-old who is in the running for a Sydney autumn campaign.

In this essay, We will start off with a detailed analysis of the five normative theories used as guiding principles. Then after, a case will be thrown in with debate on the most useful ethical theory. The essay will then be finally summed up with a conclusion.
What is ethics?
Ethics is the study of what ought to be done (Kerridge, Lowe and McPhee 2005). It focuses on the notions of right and wrong, and is categorized into two main moral perspectives, namely teleological and deontological approach.
Teleological approaches are also known as result based systems; Judgment on whether an action is right or wrong is determined by the consequences the action reaps and not by principles (Rae 2009). Deontology as Carreira, Guedes and Aleixo (2008) describes, is 'the science that sets the guiding norms of professional activities under the sign of morality and honesty'. Unlike teleology, deontological approaches are bind by moral principles which have no regards for the consequences (Trevino and Nelson 2007).
Debeljak and Krcac (2008) terms egoism as the exclusivity of addressing concerns in satisfying one's own desires and wants. It is the act in accordance with one's own desires for self-preservation, self-interest, or preference for satisfaction. Advantages
Egoism is based on the view that each individual or corporation has their own wants and needs. It empowers employees to feel that they are important, and adds value to their own their self- interest and importance. Disadvantages
As egoism is centered upon one's self, the needs of others, as to the user/agent may not be evaluated, thus, individuals may have no intentions to pursue the needs of others (Rachels 1986). Analysis
In terms of guiding company decisions, egoism can be seen as an offensive act of play as it may...

Bible Explorations
July/August 2011
When God calls
Part 10: Called to serve
John 10:1–10
In the care of the Good Shepherd, we can live life to the fullest.
One day when I went to the gym for my weekly workout, a woman I had never met climbed onto the empty exercise machine adjacent to me. After some small talk, she began to share how she came to faith in Jesus Christ. (Sometimes I think "Talk to me" is written on my forehead!) I was just trying to keep up my pace and breathe as I listened. What really got my attention was when the woman said she was concerned that her sister, who brought her to faith, was worshiping in a church with a pastor whose teachings were very strict.
"I don't know what's going on with my sister and that church," she told me. "I just know that Jesus came to give us life and life abundantly."
Later I began to think about what it means to have abundant life. Most people are trying to live an abundant life, seeking happiness and fulfillment socially, emotionally and physically. But a society that gives us access to an abundance of material things can be hard on our spiritual lives. A candidate for ministry in my presbytery wrote, "I'm often left wondering if it is more difficult to grasp God's presence when we live in a society plagued with gross overabundance."
On the other hand, when the economy is down or we believe that we don't have the resources to do what is needed, a mentality of scarcity often prevents us from experiencing the abundant life that Christ promises.
God's generous provision
The theme of abundance is prevalent throughout the Old and New Testaments. In Genesis 1–2, God creates the earth and everything in it for Adam and Eve to care for and enjoy. In Exodus 16–17, God gives food and water to the Israelites in the wilderness. From the familiar phrase "my cup overflows" in Psalm 23 to the Gospel story of Jesus feeding fish and bread to five thousand people, with bountiful leftovers, the Bible offers plenty of evidence that God generously and graciously provides for people in need.
In John 10, Jesus is having one of his many discourses with the Pharisees, the religious leaders of the day. He has tried to explain his mission to them, but they don't understand. So Jesus tells them a story, similar to a parable, about the Good Shepherd. Jesus identifies himself in three ways in this story: as the shepherd, the gate and the voice.
The task of a shepherd was difficult in an arid land, where bandits, wild animals and other dangers threatened the sheep. Like the sheep's relationship with the shepherd, our relationship with Christ begins with our recognition that Christ is the one who protects us from danger and provides for our needs. As the shepherd, Jesus leads us along the winding road of life, among all the other things that beckon for our attention. As the gate, Jesus allows us into his presence and guards us from things that are not life-giving. As the voice, Jesus calls us to come to him for guidance.
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, has come to give us not only life, but life abundantly (John 10:10). The word used in Greek is perissos, which means "exceeding, going beyond, more than enough." In Christ we have the opportunity to experience life's many blessings. We can cultivate and use the gifts we have been given and share them with others. We have the ability to become better stewards of our time, money and talents and to spend more time growing spiritually. We may face trials, but we are assured that nothing can overtake us as long as we are in the care of the Good Shepherd. There is no doubt that God wants us to live life to the fullest.
In good times and bad
Jerryd Bayless, a professional basketball player for the Toronto Raptors, says his motto is "Live life abundantly." In a post on his blog (JerrydBayless5.com), he explains how he keeps a positive outlook even though life as an NBA player can be difficult. While being traded from one team to another is hard, he says, it has given him the opportunity to be exposed to different people and experiences. When his father had a serious heart attack, Bayless learned some valuable lessons. This trying experience taught him that he was not in control; rather, God controlled all things. He also realized that people don't live forever and vowed to spend more time with his family and friends.
Bayless has the right outlook on life. The abundant life we have in Christ allows us to experience God's bountiful blessings and opportunities in good times and bad.

General Description
Hypertension, also known as essential hypertension, is clinical syndrome marked by elevated arterial pressure in the systematic circulation. It is an independent disease manifested mainly as the elevation of the blood pressure with unidentified cause.
Hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease with approximately 100 million of hypertensive patients in China. It may lead to severe complication of the heart, brain and kidneys and it is one of the risk factors for stroke, coronary heart disease and renal insufficiency. Hypertension can be classified into benign hypertension and accelerated hypertension according to the urgency and the duration and the latter is also known as malignant hypertension with unfavorable prognosis.
According to its clinical manifestations, this disease falls into the categories of "xuan yun" (vertigo), "tou tong" (headache), "gan yang" (liver yang) and "gan feng" (liver wind) in TCM. The causes of hypertension are mainly emotional disorders, improper diet, prolonged illness and overstrain. Its pathogenesis includes deficiency of liver yin and kidney yin or deficiency of yin and yang, hyperactivity of liver yang, accumulation of turbid phlegm and obstruction of collaterals by blood stasis. In female patients it is related to disorders of conception and thoroughfare vessels. The location of the disease is at the liver, kidney and heart, with incoordination between yin and yang as the principal aspect and wind, fire, phlegm or stasis as the secondary aspect. Pathogenically, it is mainly a case of principal deficiency and secondary excess, deficiency with concomitant excess. For the young, the middleaged and new patients, their cases are mostly attributed to excess syndrome; and for the old and prolonged patients, their cases chiefly attributed to principal deficiency and secondary excess.

U.S. Sen. Al Franken stopped by the state Capitol on Monday to tout the benefits of the Senate's recently passed immigration bill for Minnesota and the nation.
The measure would bolster the employment pool for Minnesota's agricultural industry, particularly dairy farming, as well as for high-tech and medical firms, Franken said.
The bill includes new border security measures and a 13-year path to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.
He did not predict what will happen with the bill in the U.S. House, where Republican leaders have said they won't pass the Senate's version.
"I would like them to come up with something very similar, but I don't expect them necessarily to, but they have to show that they're serious," Franken said. "I think it's up to the House to do a bill in good faith that has as the end game a reform of our immigration system that would put people on a path -- a fair but tough path "-- to citizenship."
There are 85,000 people in Minnesota who would potentially benefit if the bill were to become law, said John Keller, executive director of the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Keller appeared with Franken at the afternoon news conference along with a representative from Minnesota Milk Producers and from the Latino Economic Development Center.

LB Jonathan Vilma will play, TE Jimmy Graham is out for Saints
Bucs need another big day from Freeman, offense
Tampa - Excuse the lateness of this week's TK's Take, but I had to see if LB Jonathan Vilma would actually play. He will according to the NO Insider.
The good news is Drew Brees will be without one of his favorite targets in TE Jimmy Graham. He is out with a sprained ankle.
New Orleans record is abysmal, and currently 0-2 on the road.
Historically, this matchup has been close, with the home team usually winning.
Brees has such a quick release, he can neutralize the best of pass rushes.
Unfortunately, the Bucs don't exactly "bring it" with regularity, which concerns me more.
If Brees has time in the pocket, he'll eat you alive.
If I were game planning this one, I might just come out with a nickle defense and incorporate my blitz package from the corners using one of the extra DB's.
TB isn't ranked 30th against the pass for nothing.
I don't think we have a corner that can cover Marques Colston 1-on-1. Devery Henderson isn't as much of a threat because of his stone hands.
RB Darren Spoles can be a pain. He gets into open space and he'll make you miss, resulting in some big gains.
How much Vilma will play won't be known until this game gets underway.
He has had four days practice, his only four days of the year.
I don't believe he is anywhere near ready physically, but he is definitely a mental edge for the Saints defense.
The Bucs special teams can win this one for the home team.
Field position will be paramount.
Many say ball control for the Bucs is the real key. Not so fast.
The Bucs can hold the ball all day long, but if they don't put at least 3 to 4 TD's on the board, it won't make a difference.
I say field position is the key. The shorter the field for the Bucs offense, the best chance of reaching that 3-4 TD goal.
I don't think the Bucs offense is there yet to sustain long drives to the endzone.
So, where do I lean in this one? Saints are minus 2 in the morning line, which is a 1 1/2 points less than where it opened.
Late money is being put on the Bucs.
I would like nothing better than to say I'm going with the boys today, but I can't.
The Saints offense is just too consistent, and the Bucs defense will have it's hands full.
This is not KC they're playing today.
I'm going with the Saints in this one minus the two points.
Just a reminder- As I stated in the season preview, I expect this Bucs to turn dramatically to the positive the final eight games of the season. We're not there yet.
TK's Pick: Saints -2
TK vs. Spread 2-3

Fall is definitely a muskie hunter's favorite time of year, when the fish become more aggressive and are more willing to take your bait. This is the season when the fish are packing on the pounds for winter and when your odds are just a little bit better for that trophy of a lifetime. It is no question that more 50" plus muskies are pulled out of Ontario waters than any other time of year. Anglers start put away their casting rods and trolling big cranks in hopes of putting their offerings in front of a prowling muskie looking for its next meal.
Unlike the northern pike, muskies are known to be much more curious than aggressive. When a pike sees your bait, there is no hesitation, and it will go for it. Muskies are a little bit different. They like to follow their prey. They stalk every move before deciding whether or not to strike. If you have ever fished for a muskie, you know from experience that they will follow your bait, sometimes with their nose almost touching it right up to the boat. When you figure eight your lure, the muskie will follow it; sometimes you get a hit, sometimes you don't. But come fall, the games are over. These fish are hungry and they know they need the weight for winter.
To catch this aggressive fish, you need a hunting style to match. Hands down, trolling is the best bet for fall muskie hunting. These fish are at their peak feeding time and when they see your bait go flying past their nose, all curiosity has left them and there's a good chance that the fish will strike. Knowing that these fish are feeding heavily, electronics are a must for a successful day on the lake. Watch your fish finder carefully and look for the baitfish to be schooled, and then troll your bait through areas where the baitfishes are because chances are there is a muskie lurking around somewhere. Muskies rarely hang around in packs. They usually are loners or feed in pairs. They look for ambush points like reefs, points and other areas to which they can hold on and then attack their prey. Marine electronics are perfect for finding the baitfish. If you are venturing out on a foreign body of water, especially larger lakes like Lake of the Woods, you want to maximize your time. Knowing where you are driving and what's under you will ensure a long, successful day of fishing. Check out this site for awesome electronic equipment: www.lowrance.com.
You may have heard the saying "big baits catch big fish." Anglers troll baits anywhere from 9" to 13" in length. I attended an outdoor show last May and the angler who was doing a seminar put it into perspective this way: "Put two guys in a boat and one of them troll a 3" bait and one of them troll a 13" bait. Now why would a fish swim over to attack that 3" bait (peanut) when he could swim over and attack a t-bone steak?" Makes perfect sense, doesn't it? If you're looking for some ideas to start filling up your tackle box for fall, check out your local tackle shops for these baits: Grandmas, Jakes, Triple-D, Legend Plow, Salmo Whitefish, and Believers. When trolling, your best bet is to go with a heavy action rod anywhere from 7 to 8 feet in length for that added flexibility. This will ensure you're not ripping the baits out of muskies' mouth. You will also need a bait casting reel spooled with line anywhere from 80 to 100 pound test. Your line will be going over sharp rocks and debris and when you catch that trophy of a lifetime you don't want to lose her because of the wrong line.

Barrier Eggman
this wiki
Barrier Eggman (バリアエッグマン Baria Egguman?) is the ninth boss in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, that the player has to encounter at the end of Wing Fortress Zone. Barrier Eggman also appears as the mid-boss at Flying Battery Zone Act 2 in Sonic & Knuckles, where the player is unable to destroy it.
In both games, the fight involves the player trapped in a small room behind an impenetrable force-field-like barrier. Within the room is a moving laser that is operated by Dr. Robotnik from a control panel just on the other side of the barrier. Once the boss is defeated, the barrier deactivates, allowing the player to proceed, and Robotnik escapes.
Game appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
|Barrier Eggman
Barrier Eggman in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Booby-trapped room surrounded by laser pillars, where the player has to hit the moving laser cannon at the ceiling, while watching out spinning platforms with spikes and cannon's laser waves. Requires to hit eight times in order to defeat it.
|Previous boss
|Next boss
The player encounters Barrier Eggman at the end of Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. It is located at the cabin room of the air fortress and where Dr. Robotnik also is seen to be piloting it before the boss. After the Star Post, the player has to destroy a small mine on the roof to enter the cabin room. After taking a small amount of rings, the player finds himself being trapped between activated laser walls, while Dr. Robotnik himself is laughing on the right side of the room.
A small hatch on the ceiling opens and small spinning platforms with spikes below them will arrive to float around the trapped room. A moving cannon also appears to the ceiling of the cabin room, that eventually stops to load its laser attack. It will then shoot the laser to the floor and starts moving again towards the player's direction. After five seconds, it will stop shooting, shuts its laser cannon and repeats its pattern over again.
The only way to get out of this trapped room is to destroy the laser cannon. This is possible, when it stops and starts loading the laser cannon to its full power. The player has to use spinning platforms to reach the cannon, but the player has to watch out to not touch the spiky undersides of the platforms, which can hurt the player. The player also has watch out to not get hit by the laser blast that the cannon will shoot after loading it enough. The player is able to tell how long they have until the laser fires by the rate it flashes as it gets closer to firing: The faster it flashes, the closer it is to firing.
By hitting the cannon eight times, it will be destroyed which ends the battle. Dr. Robotnik doesn't wait to see the results, as he is seen escaping to his space shuttle to travel to his space station Death Egg. After the player is freed from the trap room, Sonic arrives too late to the launch pad to stop the doctor, who has launched his space shuttle and takes off. After this, Tails arrives with the Tornado, now with a rocket add-on set below the biplane. After the sky chase, Sonic grabs hold of the ship and keeps hanging on until the space shuttle is docking into the space station. The player will then progress to last zone in the game.
Sonic & Knuckles
|Barrier Eggman
Flying Battery Zone Act 2
Event boss, where the player gets trapped to the booby-trapped room. The player is unable to reach laser cannon this time, but has to dodge every laser blast it does until the end of whole event.
|Previous boss
|Next boss
Barrier Eggman later returns in Sonic & Knuckles as sub-boss, that the player encounters during Flying Battery Zone Act 2. The player will get trapped to the room on the exit hall. Robotnik is now also seen controlling the moving laser cannon at the ceiling himself this time. When the player controls Knuckles, Eggrobo normally is seen controlling it.
In this version, there are no more spiked platforms (meaning that the player cannot attack the laser eye directly). Instead, the room becomes smaller every time that the laser is fired. To survive this event, the player only needs to avoid the laser fire for a certain number of times. Though the player must survive the laser to win the fight, it is possible to hit the laser cannon's eye, but it doesn't do anything.
Eventually, so much of the room is damaged that the barrier falls on its own and Robotnik panics, he escapes to the outside of the air fortress. After that, the player will follow Robotnik to the outside and has to pass through the last platforming section of the zone, where a long platform will raise up while the player has to keep running the route or he/she will eventually get crushed between the long platform and ceiling. After this, the player will be able to ride up with the long platform for the moment, when the zone's boss Hang Mobile arrives.
In other media
Sonic the Comic
The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 version of Barrier Eggman was featured in Sonic the Comic #6, "Attack on the Death Egg", in which Sonic returns to the Wing Fortress some time after the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to find that the defenses have been left running on automatic. Having defeated the system before, he easily does so again by leaping onto a spiked platform and then hitting the laser cannon with a Spin Attack.
- In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, if Sonic doesn't follow Robotnik downwards and instead jumps over to the pilot seat after beating Barrier Eggman, there is a hidden Extra Life monitor to be found.
- The laser originally made no sound effects in Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but its Sonic & Knuckles sound effects were added in the 2013 mobile re-release.

Staff from The Towan Blystra, in Newquay, joined forces with other like-minded volunteers, to help to prepare the seaside town for the busy summer season ahead.
Residents and councillors also lent a hand, alongside members of staff from other businesses in the town, to help to rub down and repaint 52 benches in Newquay.
The enthusiastic group of volunteers spent four days, working in several locations around the town, and completed more than double the expected amount of benches.
The Towan Blystra team, pictured also raised £100 for CLIC Sargent in the process, being sponsored by customers and colleagues for their DIY efforts.
Shift manager Pete Aldin (pictured second right with colleagues) said: "It was hard work, but a great community project – and everyone enjoyed the challenge."
The 27 volunteers also enjoyed a complimentary lunch at the pub on the first day.
Jenni Pagett, Cornwall Council Community Network Support Officer, said: "It was fantastic to see so many people who care about Newquay and were prepared to muck in to make it look better.
"A really big thanks to all of those who volunteered and helped to make the project a success.
"I was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the volunteers and hope to be able to repeat the project again, before the main summer season."

Optimising excipient properties for ODT formulation
It's a big challenge to ODT producers to achieve a minimum disintegration time while keeping formulation simple and robust.
No wonder – compression forces and tablet hardness versus disintegration rate are key formulation factors. So it's just a question of identifying the ODT excipient that would meet your requirements…..

Now in its twelfth year, the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate was started by Ricky's wife, Sherialyn, and his friends in memory of the former basketball coach at Northwestern University. Ricky was out walking in his Skokie neighborhood with two of his young children on a beautiful day in July of 1999 when he was killed by Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, a member of the white supremacist Creativity Movement. Within the next several days, Smith also killed a Korean American college student and wounded six Orthodox Jewish men, three other black men and a Taiwanese immigrant.
Because of Ricky's lifelong love of sports and his compelling work with young people in the community, the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate was launched to honor his legacy and bring attention to the need to combat hatred in all its forms. In 2007, Sherialyn Byrdsong entrusted the Race to the YWCA Evanston/North Shore to steward into the future (read Sherialyn Byrdsong's story here). Today, the Ricky Byrdsong Memorial Race Against Hate annually draws thousands of participants from throughout Chicagoland to join together to declare that racism is not tolerated. Proceeds benefit the work of the YWCA Evanston/North Shore, especially in areas of violence prevention and racial equity.

`Jacks Sweep Double-header from Texas Southern
April 16, 2002
NACOGDOCHES - The Stephen F. Austin softball team swept Texas Southern in a double-header Tuesday night at the Coy Simms Complex to improve to 9-42 overall for the season. SFA won the first game, 2-1, in eight innings. The 'Jacks returned to the field and shutout the Lady Tigers, 3-0, in the second game.
Junior Devin Cobb was solid on the mound for SFA in the first game surrendering only four hits over eight innings. TSU had its struggles in the field as well recording three errors, including one in the bottom half of the second inning that would eventually lead to SFA's first run of the game. The Lady Tigers tied the game in the top of the sixth but that would be all the offense SFA would surrender. The 'Jacks scored the game-winning run when sophomore Brooke Chandler singled to left field in the bottom of the eighth to drive home Erica Henrion.
SFA got another solid pitching performance from freshman Traci Moore in the second game as she surrendered two hits in six innings. Chandler was the offensive star in game two as well, recording two hits and an RBI in her three plate appearances. Chandler gave SFA all the offense it would need, when she hit a solo homerun to left-centerfield off the Lady Tigers' Deana Lemon, in the bottom of the fifth. The 'Jacks followed that up with two more runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to ice the victory. Cobb pitched the seventh inning to record the save.
Senior Erica Henrion picked up a hit while Cobb and freshman Kacie Rees each recorded two hits.
SFA returns to action Saturday April 20 when the 'Jacks travel to Thibodaux, La., for a double-header against Nicholls State. The first game is slated to begin at 2 p.m.

Suspected robbers extradited to Columbia County
by Wes Mayer
The two suspected armed robbers arrested in Newnan last week were extradited to Columbia County on Monday to face numerous charges.
On Monday, authorities from Columbia County came to Coweta to interview the two suspects, Kevin Mitchell Abrams, 27, and Edward Earl Abrams, 38, and search their vehicle, which was a rental and was impounded after their arrest, said Lt. Col. Jimmy Yarbrough with the Coweta County Sheriff's Office. Both men were wanted for the armed robbery of a restaurant in Columbia County, and authorities in North Carolina verified they are also suspects of a bank robbery in their state.
According to Yarbrough, during the investigation, Columbia County investigators found masks, gloves and firearms used in the restaurant's robbery inside the rental vehicle along with an amount of suspected stolen money. After this, the two men were extradited to Columbia County on multiple charges, including armed robbery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime.
The two men were arrested by authorities with the Coweta sheriff's office and Newnan Police Department around 5:15 p.m. April 18. According to Lt. Mark Cooper with the city police department, authorities received information from the LaGrange Police Department that the suspects were traveling in Coweta County and authorities were able to pinpoint their location in Newnan.
The suspects' vehicle was first seen in the area around the Target store in Newnan Crossing West shopping center off Bullsboro Drive and Newnan Crossing Bypass, Cooper said. Authorities then followed the vehicle and performed a traffic stop near the intersection of Newnan Lakes Boulevard and Lower Fayetteville Road.
The two men were taken into custody without incident, charged with being fugitives from justice and were transported to the Coweta County Jail.

Top Christmas Music We Love
This woodsy design, studded with fruit and plants, blends faux and real. From the crafts store, purchase a 16-inch grapevine wreath and artificial Granny Smith apples. Use a hot glue gun to affix the apples, spacing them equally around the ring. Select an assortment of seasonal flora from the florist or the forest — pinecones, fragrant eucalyptus, and juniper — and weave them into the grapevine, filling in the areas between the apples.
Turn Dad's old ties into door decor. You'll need a 14-inch wire wreath form from a crafts shop and 19 ties. Cut all ties but one into 15-inch lengths. Position the narrow end of first cut tie, front side up, on a section of the wreath. Wrap tie around form until pointed end is positioned as shown, hiding the rolled tie; secure with pins. Repeat, overlapping ties slightly. Flip wreath over; sew rolled-up ties to the backs of points. Pin on the uncut, bowed tie.

Sound Off for Wednesday
Two Heroes: Kahlil Smith seems to have gotten his life back on track; I wish him great success. Marjorie Morrow has gone WAY beyond rewarding him for returning her ring - she is his true hero and has my admiration for recognizing and rewarding Kahlil's potential and ensuring his success. Kudos to both.
What is texting?: If you are stopped at a traffic light, the cars right and left of you are too. If their drivers are texting, they don't text 'while driving.' Did you watch them after they took off or did you look straight because you are a responsible driver?
Thanks Rev. : Feel so much better knowing Rev Jessie Jackson will be investigating Paula Deen. Wonder if his No. 1 disgraced son will assist?
Who's guilty?: Paula Deen is no more guilty than all of us black and white peopl esaying something in our past that we are not proud of and being investigated by Jessie Jackson takes the cake. "Let any of us who is without sin cast the first stone."
Fox News: Yes Liberals are there, you would know that if you watched. Juan Williams, and Bob Beckel are the first that come to mind.
Who's a racist?: Yes, Republicans do know other people have opinions, and let them share them. It's the Democrats who holler "Racist" if someone voices another opinion not shared by them.
Let it go: Paula Dean grew up in the South when the N word was used routinely by 99.9% of whites. Blacks call each other by the N word routinely today. She apologized. Let's move on.
Dead horse: Anyone else tired of hearing about Zimmerman?
The "N" word: If what Paula Deen said was so terribly inappropriate, why did it take over five years to surface? Maybe she didn't have the millions back then. This media holiday is not about the "N" word, it is about the $M$ word!
Dear Mr. Letter Carrier: Please come to a full stop when bringing our mail. Your constant removal of the mailbox door has lost its comedic value.
Thanks CCSO: I just have to say a big cheers to Coweta investigators Fetner and MacDonald for the great job they did breaking the huge credit card theft ring. This world is a much safer place when you have people that actually not only do their job, but go the extra mile.

|How to Ensure a Successful Business Or Property Sale in 2014
|News Releases - Business, Economy & Finance
|Written by Ginny Grimsley
|Wednesday, 08 January 2014 11:13
Surprise, It's Not Only About The Price!
Corporations are holding record levels of cash, interest rates are low and the housing market is rebounding. The result? Merger and acquisitions professionals are buying more businesses and high-end homes are selling faster -- Silicon Valley had a 26 percent increase in sales of $1.5 million-and-up houses in the first half of last year.
If you're considering selling a business or property in 2014 – while business is good and before mortgage rates climb – keep in mind: Focusing only on the price can short-change you in the long run.
"A lot of sellers are rushing to close the deal because they're worried about what may be around the corner," says attorney John Hartog of Hartog & Baer Trust and Estate Law (www.hartogbaer.com). "My first rule: Sell smart, not fast."
Sales of commercial properties were up 11 percent in the third quarter of last year, notes wealth management advisor Haitham "Hutch" Ashoo, CEO of Pillar Wealth Management (www.pillarwm.com).
"These sales can constitute a significant money event, so you have to consider how they may impact your future lifestyle needs," he says.
Adds CPA Jim Kohles, chairman of RINA accountancy corporation (www.rina.com):
"And you have to factor in how the transaction will affect your tax position. A great sales price doesn't look so good if it costs you more in taxes."
The three offer these tips for a successful business or residential property sale:
About John Hartog, Haitham "Hutch" Ashoo & Jim Kohles: John Hartog is a partner at Hartog & Baer Trust and Estate Law in Orinda, Calif. He is a certified specialist in estate planning, trust and probate law, and taxation law. Haitham "Hutch" Ashoo is the CEO of Pillar Wealth Management, LLC, in Walnut Creek, Calif., specializing in client-centered wealth management. Jim Kohles is chairman of the board of RINA accountancy corporation of Walnut Creek, Calif. He is a certified public accountant specializing in business consulting, succession and retirement planning, and insurance. All three advise ultra affluent families.

Systems thinking is a way of seeing organisations, projects, and teams as systems consisting of interrelated and interacting parts. Systems thinking lets us see the whole, instead of focusing on the parts in isolation. It helps to identify self-reinforcing feedback loops and not-so-obvious cause-effect relations, including suble effects that take place over longer periods of time.
The topic of this tutorial is the Diagram Of Effects (a.k.a. Causal Loop Diagram) technique, one of the System Thinking tools. This tool can be used to cope with issues like:
Content outline and process
We start with an outline of the theory, its history and applications. We then play a collaborative, experiential game. After the game we create step by step, together with the participants, a Diagram of Effects of a story from our own practice. This helps the participants to get an idea how the techniques learnt in the game translate to everyday practice. Subsequently we facilitate groups of participants in translating their own stories in a diagram and finding systemic interventions. Each group presents its results to the rest of the participants.
The tutorial contains only a small theory part and it mostly consists of practice and exercises.
|experiencing systems thinking through ball game, including debrief
|theory: systems thinking, diagrams of effects (basic concepts); steps for creating diagrams of effects
|case study with exercises
|wrap-up, theory: causal loop diagrams (advanced concepts)
|lunch break
|summary of first part, introduction to second part
|split participants in groups; collect and tell stories
|each group works out a diagram of effects of a story and identifies possible interventions
|plenary presentation of results; feedback from participants and facilitators
|wrap-up and mini-retrospective
Managers, project leaders, Software developers, scientists, coaches, customers, anybody who's ever had to deal with a non-trivial problem.
The tutorial is self-contained: Participants are not required to have any prior familiarity with the technique.
Benefits of attending
Participants will learn to apply systems thinking, and in particular the Diagram of Effects (or Causal Loop Diagrams) technique, to understand and solve problems in projects, teams, and organisations. Participants will learn how to use this technique to focus improvement efforts and to find effective interventions. They will also learn new stories and interventions from other projects.
Presenter resume with contact information
History of tutorial
This session has been run in various forms at different conferences, like OT2003, XP2004, XP Day Benelux, XP Day London, and XP Days Germany. We used these workshops as an acceptance-test, so we now know which points left the participants puzzled. The session has now matured into a structured and experiential training.

Pulmonology reviews in Troy
The staff was so friendly.
It seemed to us that at all times were were present their in his office that all the patients were on the verge of a revolt. That was flag # 1. We waited 3 and half hours past our appointment time and then another 30 minutes in a exam room. Our 2nd Appt. was even worse, A 4 hour wait after our scheduled appt. time. Everybody and I mean everyone in the waiting room had a frustrated demeanor and felt literally hopeless in dealing with this Doctor. The waiting room of his office reminds me of a group of people who have been oppressed and are
Do your self a favor, based on our experience with this Physician, consider all that is written here! Save yourself a potential awful experience and horrible treatment by someone who is supposed to help you in your greatest time of need!
P.S. The paperwork they force you to sign gives them the right to dismiss you as a patient if you display "Anger" toward the staff or Doctor. And they wield this like a weapon against their patients. If you show any passion, hopelessness, woeful grief or frustration about the dreadful treatment you are receiving, they will threaten you with the "Anger Staff Abuse Policy". I have seen patients simply plead with them passionately about the wait times and only to get threatened with the policy.
I Have Never Seen Anything Like it In all my experiences!

A strategy-oriented Scarface game allowing gamers to relive Tony Montana's epic rise to power in the drug-fueled world of 1983 Miami. Featuring both single- and multi-player modes, the game challenges players to make critical strategic decisions to rise from humble beginnings to directing an army of henchmen and hired gunmen through detailed scenarios of conquest and domination. In the story-based single-player mode, players will need to direct large-scale citywide strategic commands to complete their conquest as well as direct street-level real-time combat. The game will challenge gamers to handle larger territory, additional adversaries and new profit-making opportunities through increased drug trafficking. The wireless multi-player mode pits up-to-four gamers playing as criminal cartels in a race to make money and conquer turf. Through turn-based strategy showdowns and real-time combat, each player will manage the production and distribution of drugs while building up enough cartel strength to overpower adversaries, take their turf and eventually, rule the Miami drug scene.

Windows Blue will clearly bring a lot of improvements to Windows 8, but here's something quite unexpected.
A new leaked screenshot that reached the web a few hours ago shows that Microsoft is planning to rename "Computer," the root folder of your operating system, to "This PC," even though the reason behind this decision is pretty impossible to imagine.
In case Microsoft indeed makes this modification, it would be the second such change it makes in Windows, as the folder was initially called "My Computer" in the first versions of the operating system.
Last but not least, the same screenshot also shows that Microsoft might actually merge Libraries with devices and drives under the aforementioned "This PC" folder, most likely in an attempt to make it a bit easier for users to access music, videos and documents.
Of course, these are all just a bunch of rumors and Microsoft could make even more changes until the full version of the operating system hits the shelves.

Slim Science Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Slim Science is a weight loss program from AmeriSciences. There are three supplements included – Slim, Carb Right and Energy. When the three are combined they are supposed to support weight loss and make it easier to eat right. Information on the program is scattered all over the Internet, but not on the official AmeriSciences website. That site appears to be down for maintenance, but there is some skepticism about whether or not it will ever be live. We found the three supplement weight loss program for sale on a spinal health website for $250. That is MUCH more than we would suggest the dieter spend for this program.
List of Ingredients
- Calcium
- Green Tea Complex
- Serotain
- L-Carnitine
- Potassium
- Capsicum
- Vanadium
- Garcinia Cambogia
- Cola Nut Extract
- Gymnema Sylvestre Extract
- Caffeine
- L-Tyrosine
Carb Right:
- Banaba
- Chromium
- Gymnema Sylvestre
- Thiamin
- Riboflavin
- Vitamin B12
- Calcium
- Green Tea Extract
- Guarana Extract
- Korean Ginseng Root Extract
- Eleuthero Root
- American Ginseng Root
- Chinese Kirin Ginseng Root
- Korean Ginseng Root
- Tienchi Ginseng Root
- Capsicum Fruit
- Soy Extract
- Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex
- Bee Pollen
Product Features
The three supplements in Slim Science are pretty interesting. One is added to boost metabolism with ingredients like green tea, garcinia cambogia and cola nut. The garcinia cambogia is associated with negative side effects, including liver damage, so we'd suggest dieters skip this portion of the Slim Science program.
Carb Right contains ingredients to control blood glucose response. This is the best supplement in the Slim Science trio. Carb Right may help control hunger, which is the biggest reason why dieters fail to stick with a diet plan.
Energy is a combination of ginseng, guarana and green tea. This is the better slimming formula of the two stimulant-based supplements in the Slim Science program. When this supplement is taken with the Carb Right, you may notice increased energy, metabolism and weight loss while feeling less hungry.
- All ingredients were listed online.
- The three formulas all contain at least one proven ingredient.
- Green tea and caffeine are two of the best weight loss ingredients.
- We are not fans of garcinia cambogia.
- The Slim Science program is extremely expensive.
If you want to lose weight with a complete program, Slim Science is good if you take out the Slim supplement. However, there are weight loss supplements that contain most of the ingredients in the Carb Right and Energy supplements in the program. There is no sense in paying this much money for three supplements when you can find one supplement with clinically tested and supported ingredients.
