High Speed Spending
Would you pay $1,000 so that someone – probably not you – can ride high-speed trains 58 miles a year? That's what the Obama Administration's high-speed rail plan is going to cost every federal income taxpayer in the country.
One thousand dollars per taxpayer is only the beginning. Count on adding $400 for cost overruns. Taxpayers will also have to cover operating losses: Amtrak loses $28 to $84 per passenger in most of its short-distance corridors. In 2001, it lost the most - $84 per passenger in the state-subsidized Raleigh-Charlotte corridor.
The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) plan includes huge gaps, such as Dallas to Houston, Jacksonville to Orlando, and the entire Rocky Mountains. Once we start building high-speed rail, you can expect local politicians to demand these gaps and others be filled at your expense. And don't be surprised when the government asks you for another $1,000 or so in about 30 years to rebuild what will then be a worn-out system.
What would you get for all this money? Unless you live in California, don't expect super-fast bullet trains. In Florida the FRA is considering trains with top speeds of 125 miles per hour. In most of the rest of the country, the FRA is merely proposing to boost top speeds of Amtrak trains from 79 to 110 m.p.h.
A top speed of 125 m.p.h. means an average speed of only 75 to 85 m.p.h., which is hardly revolutionary. Many American railroads were running trains nearly that fast 70 years ago.
The pro-rail Center for Clean Air Policy predicts that, if the FRA's system is completely built, it will carry Americans 20.6 billion passenger miles a year in 2025. That sounds like a lot, but, given predicted population growth, it is just 58 miles per passenger.
Florida's portion of the plan will cost at least $11 billion, or $600 for every Florida resident, plus tens of millions more per year in operating subsidies. For that, the average Floridian will take a round-trip on the train only once every 15 years.
Most of the rest of your $1,000 will go to California, which wants you to help pay for a 220-m.p.h. train. Even this train will do little to relieve congestion or save energy; mainly, it will just fatten the wallets of rail contractors.
Who will ride these trains? We can get an idea by comparing fares between New York and Washington, DC.
As of this writing, $99 will get you from Washington to New York in two hours and fifty minutes on Amtrak's high-speed train, while $49 pays for a moderate-speed train ride that takes three hours and fifteen minutes. Meanwhile, relatively unsubsidized and energy-efficient buses cost $20 for a four-hour-and-fifteen-minute trip with leather seats and free Wi-Fi. Airfares start at $119 for a one-hour flight.
Few people who pay their own way will spend an extra $79 to save an hour and twenty-five minutes of their time. But anyone who values their time that highly would be willing to pay an extra $20 to save an hour by taking the plane. The train's only advantage is for people who are going from downtown to downtown.
Who works downtown? Bankers, lawyers, government officials, and other high-income people who hardly need subsidized transportation. Not only will you pay $1,000 for someone else to ride the train; that someone probably earns more than you.
Nor is high-speed rail good for the environment. The Department of Energy says that, in intercity travel, automobiles are as energy-efficient as Amtrak, and that boosting Amtrak trains to higher speeds will make them less energy-efficient and more polluting than driving.
High-speed rail will cost you a lot of money and provide little benefit to anyone except a few bankers, lawyers, and bureaucrats. That's not change we can believe in.

Solving the pain of clean inner window panes
Q I have a screen door and between the panes I cannot get anything but liquid as it so narrow. I cannot remove the inner pane. What can I pour in there that would clean the inside glass? It looks terrible.
A Drape a soft, high-quality microfibre cloth over a fly swatter, and use an elastic band to secure the cloth onto the fly swatter. Soak the cloth with plain old water. Wipe the window with the fly swatter. Next, fasten a dry microfibre cloth onto the fly swatter. Dry the window in the same manner. The fly swatter is narrow and will hopefully reach between the screen and the window. If the window is extremely dirty, soak the cloth in ammonia, instead of water, to clean. If you absolutely cannot use anything other than a liquid spray between the screen and the window, a commercial or homemade window solution is your best option.
Q Regarding leather, there is a hole in my leather seat in my Kia, due to an acid leak from a battery. Please advise what to do and where to purchase a leather patch (cream/beige-coloured leather).
A I am sorry to hear that! Leather patches are available at most department and, home hardware stores, furniture retailers, car dealerships and online. Please follow the instructions included with the kit. For a more professional repair, take your vehicle to a restoration specialist.
Q I have had a bistro table by my door all summer and found it very handy for putting parcels on so I can open my door easier. Now that winter is here, I am worried it might break if it gets too cold. The glass is a wavy kind of pebble finish on the underside. What is your insight on this?
A Glass tables are unstable, and even tempered glass tables sometimes break for no apparent reason, I know because this happened to my glass table. When you add the additional element of cold temperature, this adds additional stress onto the surface of the glass. If you love your table, reduce the risk of breakage by moving it to a warmer area of the house.
Feedback from wise contributor Re: Storing Asparagus When bringing fresh asparagus home, cut off the end about half inch, and place ends down, and tips up in a high glass and place in fridge. Asparagus will last longer than a week and stay crispy. Submitted by: Peggy Fill your home with the aroma of chestnuts Preheat your oven to 425 F (220 C). Score each chestnut around the shell. Be very careful as they are slippery. Put the chestnuts in a pot of water to simmer. When the water begins to simmer, remove the chestnuts and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes (or until they begin to peel). Remove them from the oven, drop them into a bowl and cover the bowl with a tea towel. Leave for 15 minutes. Some chestnuts will be easier to peel than others; throw away any gooey nuts. Remove the outer shell and the tough brown skin. The house should now smell delightful and the chestnuts are ready to eat.

This unsourced sentence from Wikipedia is, I think, fantastic.
With the completion of the Tractatus Wittgenstein believed he had solved all the problems of philosophy and he abandoned his studies, working as a schoolteacher, a gardener at a monastery, and as an architect, along with Paul Engelmann, on his sister's new house in Vienna.
— "Ludwig Wittgenstein", Wikipedia, Retrieved July 6, 2009.
I've heard people say that Wittgenstein was the greatest philosopher of the 20th century. Now I know why. If I end up going into philosophy, this is what I want my career summary to be too. Publish one book, solve all the problems in the field, and then do some gardening.
Sure, Wittgenstein did come back to philosophy later and renounced much of his previous work, but for a while there he really knew what he was doing.

Google Opens Innovation Campus In Tel Aviv
Google launched its Campus Tel Aviv, a center for Israeli entrepreneurs and start ups.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut a virtual ribbon at the inauguration ceremony Monday.
The campus occupies an entire 16,000-square-foot floor of the Electra Tower in Tel Aviv. The space includes an area for meetings and workshop space for startup companies.
Using the campus and participating in its activities are free for entrepreneurs and startups.

The campus will also give start-ups access to Google work teams and industry experts. Google will also offer at the center Launchpad, a two-week seminar for startups in their early stages. Some 100 Israeli startups will benefit from Launchpad each year.
Google began operations in Israel about 7 years ago. In a post on Google's official blog, Amir Shevat and Eyal Miller, co-leads of Campus Tel Aviv noted that the Internet economy contributes 6.4 percent of Israel's gross domestic product, and the country is the world's second largest center of tech start-ups after Silicon Valley.
"For some time now, we've been supporting Internet and mobile entrepreneurs in Israel with tech talks, events and hackathons," they wrote, referring to events in which experts compete to find security flaws in software to help developers. "We hope that Campus Tel Aviv will enable us to do more to support local innovation and, in doing so, make the web and the mobile space better. You can find out more about Campus Tel Aviv on our website."

02 Feb Seraphina Martin: Solar Etching
Seraphina Martin joined us from Sydney for a weekend of solar plate etching on 21-22 January 2017. She took complete beginners and advanced printers right through the process of solar plate etching over the two days. Students were given three plates to use and beautiful printing paper to print onto. A range of techniques explored allowed students to create interesting and diverse work full over colour and detail.
Solar plate etching is an excellent way to produce detailed prints without the use of nasty chemicals. It is a reasonably quick process to learn and beginners felt their finished work was quite exciting. Printers can use their own drawings or other photocopied images to add to their work. Detail can be added with found objects being printed directly onto the paper. Layers of colour can be built up using relief and intaglio printing methods.
Seraphina is a very accomplished printer and an experienced teacher who delivers workshops with ease and grace. Students felt at ease with her and she is very generous with her knowledge. She brought a huge amount of materials to share and was happy to encourage students to explore all the possibilities.
We can't wait to have her back!

The man police say was the SpyEye developer, Hamza Bendelladj, 24, of Algeria, aka "Bx1," is coming to the U.S. to face charges after his extradition from Thailand, where police arrested him earlier this year while in transit from Malaysia to Egypt.
He stands accused of playing a critical role in developing, marketing, distributing and controlling the SpyEye malware.
Arrest in 'Largest' DDoS Ever
Sony Hacker gets 1 Year in Slammer
LulzSec Member Pleads Guilty
WI Man Charged in DDoS Attacks
Bendelladj faces one count of conspiring to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, 10 counts of wire fraud, 11 counts of computer fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit computer fraud.
If found guilty, he could spend up to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud, up to 5 years for conspiracy to commit computer fraud, up to 20 years for each wire fraud count, and up to 5 or 10 years for each count of computer fraud.
In addition, he could end up paying fines totaling $14 million.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ), between 2009 and 2011, Bendelladj and others developed, marketed and sold versions of SpyEye to other cybercriminals.
Authorities said Bendelladj also operated command and control (C&C) servers for the SpyEye malware.
"No violence or coercion was used to accomplish this scheme, just a computer and an Internet connection. Bendelladj's alleged criminal reach extended across international borders, directly into victims' homes," said U.S. Attorney Sally Quillian Yates.
"In a cyber-netherworld, he allegedly commercialized the wholesale theft of financial and personal information through this virus which he sold to other cybercriminals. Cybercriminals take note; we will find you. This arrest and extradition demonstrates our determination to bring you to justice."
"The FBI has expanded its international partnerships to allow for such extraditions of criminals who know no borders," said FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark F. Giuliano of the Atlanta Field Office.
"The federal indictment and extradition of Bendelladj should send a very clear message to those international cyber criminals who feel safe behind their computers in foreign lands that they are, in fact, within reach."

Ukrainian Summer School "Viadrinicum" – sierpień 2015, Franfkurt
Zapraszam studentów i doktorantów UŁ do zapoznania się z poniższa propozycją the Ukrainian Summer School "Viadrinicum"Politics, Civil Society, and the Arts, która odbędzie się w dn. 24.08-06.09.2015 w Frankfurcie nad Odrą.
Szczegóły: Scholarships_Viadrinicum_2015
The Viadrinicum is an International Ukrainian Summer School that provides students and young scholars with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge about Ukraine, its language, history, politics and culture. With the help of an interdisciplinary approach of cultural, social and economic sciences we try to combine diverse perspectives with a focus on the current situation in Ukraine as well as its historical development. Therefore students and young scholars from all disciplines are invited.
In its first year the Viadrinicum will take place from 24 August to 6 September 2015. During the two weeks you will have the opportunity to improve your Ukrainian skills in language classes on various levels. In the meantime, our Ukrainian participants have the opportunity to take part in a German language class.
In close cooperation with the Frankfurt Institute for Transformation Studies (FIT) we will have two seminars on political changes in Ukraine before and after Maidan and will discuss the role of civil society in the recent transformations and the heritage of an oligarchic system.
In a second seminar Stanislav Menzelevskyi (Oleksandr Dovzhenko National Center, Kiev) will talk about representations of the heroic in Ukrainian Cinema from the beginning of the medium until the recent developments around the Maidan (e.g. Небесна Сотня). In the evenings you will have the chance to watch some examples in film screenings. Scholars from the project Donbas Studies provide a third seminar on their activities in the Donbas region, where they connect academic methods with cultural production and civil society activism. The result is called Scientific Activism.
Closely linked to this seminar is a workshop on conflict management by Prof. Kirchhoff from the IKM (Institut für Konfliktmanagement). Furthermore there will be literature evenings, public discussions, and an Open Space, where you will have the chance of discussing your own scientific or cultural project with other participants and scholars.
The European University Viadrina Frankfurt/Oder funds ca. 25 short-time travel scholarships for students and PhD candidates to support their participation in the Viadrinicum (150-600 €, depending on your country of origin).
You can apply for a scholarship if you fulfill the following requirements:
– You are a student or a PhD candidate.
– You have a genuine interest in questions concerning Ukraine.
– Your knowledge of English is sufficient to take part in the discussions actively.
Please enclose in your application:
1) a personal data sheet (CV),
2) a short summary of your studies,
3) your motivation to participate in the Viadrinicum of not more than 2000 signs.
Please submit your application by e-mail only to: email@example.com
The deadline for application is May 25, 2015.
BWZ UŁ nie pośredniczy w kontakcie z organizatorami wydarzenia.

Some authors prepare meticulously when they begin to write a new book, knowing in detail from the outset precisely what will happen to whom and in what order. Personally, I find this approach dampens creativity, and I prefer to take the journey alongside the characters; I will usually know something about the people and their story arc before I start a book, but the way it develops can often surprise me. It's also usually the case that I have to wait until I've finished a book before I can look back on it objectively and say with any hope of certainty exactly what the story is about!
With MAKE DO AND MEND, the initial intention was to describe a growing intimacy between Harry and Jim which would be set against a background of some sort of conflict. In the preliminary sketches for the book the setting was to be the present day and the conflict with land-hungry neighbours who threatened the family's farm. (This aspect of the plot later found a home in THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER WYE, which was published earlier this year and which takes place in a very similar geographical area – waste not, want not! - but there the similarities end.) However a sudden inspiration struck, of unknown origin, and convinced me that relocating the action of the book to the middle of the Second World War would make it all very much more interesting. That way the grit of conflict - which every book needs – could be supplied not so much by the war itself, nor even by the difficulty of maintaining what in those days would have been a highly secretive relationship, but by Jim's status as a conscientious objector.
I know some people think I may have been influenced by Mary Renault's THE CHARIOTEER in this respect. This is immensely flattering, of course, but in all honesty I read the book so long ago that the only thing I remember about it is that one character was called 'Laurie'. I was actually thinking more about Private Godfrey in the TV series 'Dad's Army', who had been a 'conshie' in the First World War but who had nevertheless distinguished himself as a volunteer ambulance driver on the battlefield – for which he later won the reluctant admiration of his Home Guard platoon.
It has always seemed to me that conscientious objection must be a very difficult position to hold. Individually we might well be in favour of peace and diplomacy, but "when the blast of war blows in our ears" there is usually some kind of mass patriotic effusion which paints anyone who dares to express an opposing – or even a slightly less committed – opinion as either a scoundrel or a traitor. With Jim, I wanted to be able to portray a character who loved his country enough to support it in his own way, but who did not necessarily approve of the methods it adopted.
In this context, by the way, it's important to remember that the true nature of the horrors perpetrated by the Nazi regime didn't become common knowledge until much later. Throughout the war even perfectly intelligent people were capable of believing that the rumours of atrocities they had heard were in fact some sort of 'black propaganda', part of what we would now call an insidious media campaign; the actual truth was so far beyond the imagination of most normal people at the time that even if they had heard such stories they would have been likely to discredit them. As humans, we have a tendency to dismiss as fiction anything we don't completely understand or even believe to be possible – a trait which has sometimes prevented us from making progress that we should have a great deal sooner.
So, while in retrospect Jim's position may look hopelessly naïve, at the time it would have been one which required considerable courage and personal conviction to maintain; that was the conflict I found intriguing, not least because it has such obvious similarities to the historic situation of gay men. It takes some strength of character, after all, to admit that one is not like everybody else, and to be prepared to shoulder the consequences. If the majority all seem to think and act in the same way, being the exception can vary from uncomfortable to downright dangerous – as those who stand out from the crowd have often discovered. My interest is in people who are prepared to hold firm against pressure to conform, and who – sometimes loudly, sometimes more quietly – continue to attest what they believe in, even in the face of apparently insuperable odds.
In a way, therefore, Jim in MAKE DO AND MEND is not only someone I would very much like to meet but also someone I hope that – if I was facing a similar set of circumstances – I would have the courage to be. His journey was not at all the one I was expecting to take when I began the book, but it's one I was glad to have had the opportunity of exploring – and one which, I hope, will have raised a comparable series of interesting speculations in the minds of the book's readership. If that is indeed the case, then Jim and I will have succeeded in what – all unknowingly – we both set out to do.

Running Wild is one of the last of a dying breed – a band that keeps on chugging solely on the support of their fans. No big concert tours, no multi-page spreads in major magazines, no heavy rotation on "Headbanger's Ball" – hell, nothing in America at all! Not even a record deal, which is why many people probably don't even know about their latest release, Rogues En Vogue. Oh sure, you can catch a little something on Blabbermouth every now and then, but is it ever anything that would motivate a reader to search out any of their Pirate Metal? I guess the name alone can draw some curiosity, as it did for me way back in 2000 when I kept seeing the band in the new racks of the record store I worked at. This eventually led me to pick up Death or Glory on cassette for a mere dollar. I damn near wore that thing out. Still, it wasn't for another year or so that I started to pick up more of their stuff, spurred on by some new kids at my radio station, and later none other than Matt from Exhumed, but I digress. Although they may have seen some modest stateside success in the early 90s, nowadays most folk surely only hear of this band via word of mouth, despite their 20+ year history. On that note, here's a bunch of words from my mouth that will attempt to persuade you to check out their latest effort.
After some early work that dwelled in the realm of Satanism, Running Wild and leader Rock N' Rolf Kasparek eventually turned their sights towards the equally as metal but not nearly as explored realm of pirates. The rest, as they say, is history. They found their niche, with songs like "Under Jolly Roger", "Pile of Skulls", "Tortuaga Bay", and more tales of the marauders of the sea. Yarrrrrrrr. Their musical approach hardly changed much, continuing in a traditional metal with hints of thrash and power metal and of course a few folk elements thrown in for effect. Yikes – too much background information! Let's get on to the damn album.
We start things off with "Draw the Line", a mid-tempo number that is solid but perhaps not best fit to open an album. On the other hand, "Angel of Mercy" blows things apart with a nice little drum leading into their more signature thrash/boogie sound. OK, maybe "boogie" isn't the best word for pirates – a thrash jig? Why not! Grab your bottle of rum and get down to it. "Skeleton Dance" falls somewhere in between musically but keeps the jig factor going. "Skull and Bones" is the first obviously pirate song, with a few moments here and there that give it a nice "tale of the sea" feel. The title track is a fun listen with some strong solos and tight rhythm guitar laying down the foundation for another yet another pirate tale. "The War" is the requisite epic this time around (they always have at least one 10+ minute track on every album). It's no "Treasure Island" or even "The Battle of Waterloo", but it's a solid work that will leave you celebrating whatever war it is that they're singing of.
Maybe I missed it before, but one thing I'm noticing this time around is the amount of Judas Priest influence in this band. Maybe it should have been obvious since their name is also an old Priest song, but I really started to notice it on "Angel of Mercy", which sounds like it was built around the main riff from "Painkiller", and "Soul Vampires", which sounds more than a little like a reworking of "You've Got Another Thing Coming". There may well be more but I'd rather not nitpick. Heck, if you've got to invoke the spirits of a band, it might as well be one of the best, right?
So what we end up with here is a Running Wild album that will likely fall just below the "Best of Artist" level reserved for albums like Masquerade and Pile of Skulls. This is still a solid effort from these barnacle-encrusted Germans that show no signs of watering down. Yes, the material isn't as great as it could be, but when you've already done some of your best work, you don't have to match that to make a good album. Much like Motorhead, Running Wild doesn't really make bad albums – they just make albums that aren't as good as some of their others. For that, I raise a hooked hand in salute.

A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular. They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile.
Reasons for crowns:
A crown procedure usually requires two appointments. Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown. A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory.
While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown. Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly.
At your second appointment your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate.
You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown.
I recently went in to have my teeth cleaned and had a great experience! The staff at Robert Chiang, DDS were very friendly and welcoming. My cleaning with the Hygienist was very comfortable - I normally find that to be the worst part. They have very up to date technology and were able to take some pictures of potential problem areas. The Dentist, Robert came in afterward to do an exam. He was very personable and professional. He took the time to explain and show me some areas that could need attention in the future. I normally dread going to the Dentist but found this experience to be pleasant. I will definitely be going back.

These are just two sample pictures in a growing gallery of body art. I do so love to paint on people!
These two pictures are from this past summer. Upon waking up in the morning on this particular day, I did not feel like going anywhere, getting out of bed or even moving at all. However, I felt like simply lying there doing nothing was a waste of time… enter a paint brush and an array of body paints and these are just two pictures of the result!

Authorised and Unauthorised Providers
This Eastern Catholic Metropolia (Chaldean-Syrian) has been requested by our vicar-bishops, missionary bishops, archdeacons, chor-episcopa, parish priests, and parishioners to document what business firms, organisations and/or companies which provide quality services to their customers. Likewise, we were requested to document which organisations and businesses should not be financially supported by members of the clergy and laity of this church jurisdiction (2.9 million souls).
Therefore we shall list, as occasion requires and document the circumstances which led to the determination to be authorised or unauthorised providers, not only on this church web site but also to be posted in every parish church, organisation, hospice etc.
Unauthorised Providers: in accordance with the canon laws (synodus) of this church jurisdiction forbids every member of the clergy, every parish church, church institution, and/or church foundations are not permitted to purchase products or services, donate funds, nor permitted to utilise the premises of any of our church buildings or organisational building spaces.
Not Authorised Provider throughout the Archdiocese (especially within the State of California)
Failure to implement Warranty in a timely manner and numerous Broken Promises and no final inspection by their licensed contractor at our home for our Disabled/Retired Priests.
On 25 March 2014, the Metropolitan (Metran) received Mr. Tim Stephenson, Sales Manager of this firm. A contract was signed for $8,204.00 to install a walk-in disabled shower with disabled hand rails and built in seat. The Metran was promised that upon completion of the installation, the licensed contractor would inspect the work.On 17 April 2014, installation completed; per Installation Manager, the team that did the installation was their finest crew. No instruction manuals were provided for the new shower heads, etc. The Installation Manager did not come to the construction site, no final inspection was completed. He made two different appointments and did not show nor inform us of his not coming.
The supervisor of the instillation crew (Vasile R.) was late the second day; he signed off the warranty and left with his two crewmen to finish the jobNickolay K. Signed off the warranty installation. The supervisor left early because he had to get ready for his next installation. No licensed contractor inspected the work.Upon the first usage, it was discovered that the shower handle which controls the temperature was incorrectly installed. Instead of starting off: cold, warm, to hot---it went HOT, warm, cold. The parts were installed backwards; new parts had to be ordered. When new parts arrive, Nickolay K. only wanted to install one of the three parts; we had to insist he install all the parts. Suddenly he stated he does not speak English The supervisor was contacted and all the parts were installed (in Ukrainian). We had to call for further repairs: the stainless steel disabled handle bars were dripping RUST. During installation they did not coat the screw to hold the disabled bars.
Then the sliding glass door safety track came off. We informed the president of the corporation, Mr. David Brotman of the problems via telephone voice mail. We took the part to Home Depot; we were informed the wrong strength tape was utilised; the repairs would be $2.45 and $5.75. We purchased the items since three weeks had elapsed and no parts were ordered by Custom Development of California. We left a message with repair department---no response. We then began sending a weekly e-mail requesting when the warranty work would be done. This went on for over 18+ weeks.
We contacted Call Kurtis of Channel 13 television who does exposes on such problems and seeks resolution. Mary McCarron, Special Project Manager responded with great interest; she could not believe what has occurred to our disabled priest, Father Jakob who survived 30 years in the Russian Gulags.
We instructed the priests not to utilise the shower until it was repaired, under warranty. Father Jakob, 94 years of age, was going to preach a retreat for priests in San Francisco. He utilised the shower; upon exiting the shower, he began to slip and grabbed the towel rack on the glass door. The doors were unstable and he fell knocking his head. Out of concern for the other priests, he attached the Home Depot parts to the shower doors to provide safety and further accidents. We personally tested the identical glass shower doors with the same safety track in place. We recreated the accident; we weigh over 150 lbs more than Father Jakob and the glass doors with the safety track held in place and we did not fall to the floor. Hence, if the safety track had been replaced in a timely manner, no accident would have occurred.
Three days later, Father Jakob died. The autopsy listed the cause of death due head trauma due to injury haemorrhage to the brain. If we desired to press charges, the coroner stated he would recommend a minimum of second degree manslaughter due to the prolonged lack of repair We informed David Brotman of Channel 13s interest in our case; suddenly on a Sunday night, they found the parts and wanted to come out immediately to repair the shower doors.
We informed Mrs. Mary McCarron that the sliding glass shower door had been fixed by Father Jakob before his death. Therefore, we should not proceed with the television taping and showing.
Therefore this firm is designated as an unauthorised provider throughout this entire Archdiocese; this notice shall be posted in every church, parish social hall, in all of our institutions so that the laity and visitors to our web site would not utilise this licensed contractor who failed to install the shower temperature control valve properly, failed to have a licensed contractor certify the work, broke every promise (7) and failed to fulfil their warranty legal requirements for over 21+ weeks. Their stainless steel disabled grab bars are still leaking rust.
Obviously we shall never recommend this firm and shall proceed to file a legal complaint with the State of California Licensed Contractor Board.

Types of jellyfish
Floating jellyfish in the sea often struck by its beauty. Such a wealth of shapes, colors, as among the jellyfish, not to meet many animals! Jellyfish inhabit all seas, and some of these sea animals prefer warm waters of the tropics and subtropics, while others liked the cool Northern parts of the oceans.
Some jellyfish can be found at a depth of 10km, and there are jellyfish that do not leave the coastal strip. It is noteworthy that each type of jellyfish is found only on the territory of the area is an animal does not apply to pandemic, that is common everywhere.
The largest jellyfish is Cyanea arctica – chosen by a cool North sea. The age of lanei can be identified by its colour – older individuals are covered with brown and red spots; the young specimens are painted in an intense orange color.
Medusa majestic and beautiful: the dome of Arctic lanei can be over two meters in diameter. Huge size in combination with blue or pink tentacles in 2-3 dozen metres away – a spectacle Grand and stunning.
Jellyfish in the Black sea, however, can not boast of such colossal parameters. And the color palette is native jellyfish is much poorer – dominated by purple and blue tones. The most common samniashvili – transparent jellyfish, with a bright blue border and a distinct "ears".
For all the jellyfish inherent radial symmetry – eared transparent jellyfish allow you to personally ensure that all the paired organs of the jellyfish represented in the number of multiples of 4.
Unlike harmless Aureli, Comerota capable of causing harm to humans. A luxuriant mane of the oral tentacles "sea nettle", also known as this type of jellyfish, causing searing pain. Of course, this terrible killer of fry and small fishes are not able to kill the man, but still when you meet him is better to touch only the upper side of the dome, where there are no stinging cells.
The species of jellyfish, the most dangerous to humans
Chironex fleckeri. Poison "sea wasp" leads to paralysis of the nervous system and death is literally in three minutes after the toxin gets into the body. Fortunately, in the Black sea "sea wasp" are not found, but in Australian waters annually killed several people.
Physalia physalis. Visalia peacefully float on the surface of the water, like boats beautiful blue color. Under water are also poisonous tentacles up to 15-20m – they are a danger to people. The poison affects the nervous system, and the bather simply drown, unable to stay on the water.

We all have very good reasons to be enraged.
Over the past few months, I've noticed an "uptick" in the online autistic community drama levels. Of course, it could just be me… I haven't been active in the autistic "scene" for years, until last spring. I gave it a whirl, back in the late 1990s, and again about 10 years ago, but the drama drove me away. I have a busy life with a lot of responsibilities that most folks don't bother with and have no idea about, and I just haven't got time for the drama.
Now, again, it starts. I see other people tweeting about it, blogging about it, emailing me about it. Ugh. It's just so … awkward and painful and illogical, which for me is the equivalent of being flayed alive. Why can't we all just get along?
Well, I'm pretty tired of feeling ill, every…

1. What to use: Your best bet is a pair of purpose-made cuffs with comfortable lining, that shut with either velcro or buckles (the former is way better for quick release in case of emergency, like your roommate coming home). They distribute tension evenly over a wide area, which is what you want. Many come with straps you can tether to your headboard, bedposts, bedframe or bed legs. Stay away from anything that locks with a key, lest you lose it and have to call the fire department. Rope has too high a learning curve to recommend here, and police-issue metal cuffs are too hard on the delicate wrists. And while they may look good, silk scarves and stockings have a tendency to get too tight under tension, making them unsafe and nearly impossible to untie without a pair of scissors. Also avoid thin ropes, twine, thread, and phone or electrical cord, as they're more likely to cut off circulation. Leather thongs may look good, but they cut into the skin and are a bitch to untie, so just go with the purpose-made ones like we told you.
2. Restraint snugness: Don't make the cuffs too tight. You should be able to fit one or two fingers between the bondage and skin.
3. Circulation: Having a limb fall asleep is a sign of bad bondage, a definite no-no. The tie-er-upper should check for cooling or discoloration (i.e. whitening) of parts past the restraints about every few minutes. If the bound one starts feeling an uncomfortable tingling or numbness, they should pipe up. If you fail to follow these simple instructions and a limb gets totally numb, then remove the restraints, lower the limb, massage the area to help with blood flow, and cover up to help warm the limb.
4. Nerves: If you tie someone up incorrectly, very important nerve paths can get pinched. The result is usually shooting or focused pain. Untie immediately to avoid serious nerve damage!
5. Positions: Don't restrain someone in a standing position — you don't want any pressure on the restraints. Instead, make sure they're lying comfortably on their back on a bed — it's the least stressful. With a little practice, healthy dabblers can stay in a comfortable position for about a half hour. You can extend play by varying positions often and leaving enough slack (sometimes a few inches is all you need) for the bound person to move their bod a bit to readjust when necessary.
6. Breathing: Let's keep it simple and focus on wrist restraint. Don't obstruct nasal passageways, or gag someone. Covering their eyes with an eye mask is okay, so long as you get their permission first.
7. Alone time: Don't leave a bound person alone. If abandonment is part of your thing, pretend to make a dramatic exit and keep an eye on them from afar, checking on them every few minutes. But really, why not just stick with them and tease them mercilessly?
8. Check-ins: Whoever's in the driver's seat is ultimately responsible for the safety of their bound partner. Check in with your partner often, make sure they are comfortable, encourage them to let you know of any numbness or dizziness, feel for cooling due to compromised circulation, and look for signs that they might be on the verge of freaking out. But if you follow all of the above advice, there should be nothing to worry or freak out about.
9. Troubleshooting: Be aware of medical conditions like joint pain, heart problems, bad backs, asthma, sexually transmitted diseases and infections, etc., since you'll be responsible for their well-being once they're tied up — a good idea with any kind of sex, really.
10. New partners: If a brand new partner lets you tie them up, they're a dumb-ass and you probably shouldn't be playing with them in the first place. So it goes without saying, never let yourself be tied up on a first date. While we're at it, don't stare directly into the sun, don't play in traffic, don't stick your hand in boiling water, and don't jump off bridges.

The Ravens (8-2), who are coming off a 41-7 pasting of the Houston Texans last week, lead the AFC North by three games over the Pittsburgh Steelers, while the Rams (6-4), who are coming off a 17-7 win over the Chicago Bears, are three games behind the first-place San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West. Kickoff from Los Angeles is set for 8:15 p.m. ET, and the Rams have won three of their last four games. Baltimore is a three-point favorite in the latest Rams vs. Ravens odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 46.5.

The model knows Baltimore has been on a roll and won four consecutive games by at least 14 points. The Ravens are also 4-0 against the spread in their last four games following a straight-up win.
Jackson leads the team in passing and rushing. He has completed 185-of-279 passes for 2,258 yards and 19 touchdowns, while rushing 116 times for 781 yards and six scores. He has eight rushes of 20 yards or more. Last week against the Texans, Jackson completed 17-of-24 passes for 222 yards and four touchdowns, while carrying 10 times for 79 yards.
But just because Baltimore has been red-hot does not guarantee it will cover the Rams vs. Ravens spread on Monday Night Football.
Under third-year coach Sean McVay, the Rams are 32-14, including 2-2 in the postseason. Los Angeles is 4-0 against the spread in its last four games after allowing fewer than 90 yards rushing in its previous game.
Goff has been a big part of the Rams' offense, completing 225-of-373 passes for 2,783 yards and 11 touchdowns. Goff, who threw for 517 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to Tampa Bay in Week 4, had his best game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Oct. 27, when he was 17-for-31 for 372 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-10 win.
Slowing down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense is as difficult a task as any in the NFL right now. They've scored a league-high 157 points in their last four games, winning by an average of more than 25 points per game.
In that span, Jackson has thrown for 751 yards and eight touchdown passes with zero interceptions, and also rushed for 321 yards and four touchdowns on 47 carries. He's very clearly emerged as one of the favorites to win NFL MVP this season, proving to be one of the most dynamic players in the league.The Rams defense has played extremely well in the last four games, allowing a league-low 44 points and ranking first in rushing yards allowed. Granted, their competition in that span has been unimpressive, but the defense is hitting its stride at the right time with the Ravens coming to town.
Neutralizing Jackson and slowing Baltimore's offense is nearly impossible, but the team that's come closest to doing that is Pittsburgh. In Week 5, the Steelers held Jackson to 161 yards passing and 70 yards rushing with one total touchdown and three interceptions.
They have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL and against the Ravens, they didn't blitz as much as they normally do. Why? Because blitzing Jackson is a recipe for disaster.
This season, Jackson has been unbelievably good when facing five or more rushers. Against the blitz, he's completed 54 of 90 passes (60%) for 757 yards with 15 touchdowns and only one interception. He's been sacked eight times on such plays, but he's averaging 8.4 yards per attempt against the blitz (7.9 against a normal rush). Additionally, he's rushed for 112 yards on only six carries, an average of 18.7 yards per rush.
For comparison, he's thrown just four touchdown passes and four interceptions against a normal rush this year, with a passer rating of 91.2 (122.1 vs. blitz).
This is good news for the Rams, who are better at getting pressure on the quarterback without blitzing than any other team in the league.

DRAGON BOAT RACES: It's a perennial favorite -- the bright long boats and on-board drumming add to the pomp and drama -- and it returns to Long Beach each July with plenty of shoreside activities. Those activities include martial arts demos and music and crafts, but every visitor takes time to take in a race or two. We like the boats, yes, but the precision and speed of the people at the oars always impresses. At Marine Stadium on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31
POGOPALOOZA: How were you on a pogo stick? We don't mean to assume you no longer pogo. Perhaps you do. Perhaps you're a pogo master, and you're at the level of the pogo-flipping stars set to bounce around the OC Fair from Thursday, July 28 through Saturday, July 30. But if it has been a year or twenty since you did the hoppity-hop, be prepared for some astounding advances in pogothletics. Which Google tells us is not a real word, but we think pogo + athletics certainly applies here.
B MOVIES AND BAD SCIENCE: The people at the Page Museum and Natural History Museum have a great sense of humor. Yes, they're dedicated in a serious way to study, but come Saturday night they're ready to kick it up. So they're running free flicks at the tar pits on Saturday nights through the end of August. A scientist will also speak. The film on Saturday, July 30 is "Dinosaurus!" You know dinos are not associated with our pits? This is why we love the Pagers. Sense of humor. Bravo, and roar, and all that.
OXNARD SALSA FESTIVAL: Music and dance and food all get feted at this weekend-long free fest. Can you make time for all three on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31? We hope. Can you make salsa many different ways? Of course. Should it always rely heavily on cilantro? That's our vote, but we're open to other varieties. Bet you'll try a few, too.
MOVIES MOVIES MOVIES: Stan Lee's at the Aero (no word if he's swinging down via hand webs from the vintage theater's famous sign); the first two Spideys will play, too. That's on Saturday, July 30. And it is the final weekend for the free Old Pasadena Film Festival. How can various free movie fests be wrapping up already? Summer, don't go.

WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - U.S. small business sentiment weakened in September for the fourth time in five months as fewer owners expected to add staff and make capital investments.
The National Federation of Independent Business said on Tuesday its optimism index fell 0.1 point to 92.8 last month.
The drop is a sign the U.S. economy is taking a hit from uncertainty over the possibility of tax hikes and government spending cuts next year, said William Dunkelberg, chief economist at the NFIB.
"Owners are in maintenance mode - spending only where necessary and not hiring, expanding or ordering more inventories until the future becomes more certain," Dunkelberg said.
He suggested uncertainty over the outcome of the country's upcoming general election is also probably hurting sentiment.
The NFIB had already released on Thursday the labor components of its small business optimism index, which showed a net 4 percent of firms were expecting to create jobs in September, down from 10 percent the prior month.
That weighed heavily on the overall index. Also holding back optimism, the share of firms planning capital investments in the next three to six months fell to 21 percent from 24 percent.
The U.S. economy has grown at a lackluster pace this year, which has hurt President Barack Obama's chances of winning the Nov. 6 election. Opinion polls point to a very tight race between Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
And looming over the economic outlook, the federal government is scheduled to tighten its belt severely in January unless lawmakers pass an alternative plan.

Intragastric Balloon
Category(s): Bariatric
Also called the intragastric balloon, the gastric balloon is a reversible, incision-free weight loss procedure. A deflated soft silicone gastric balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth and filled with liquid which reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold. This allows the person to feel fuller faster. The procedure is performed under sedation or general anesthesia and generally takes 20 to 30 minutes to perform. The balloon can be left in place for up to six months and then needs to be removed or replaced.

Q: "What are your Stats?"
Ask how many properties they have sold in the past year or from the start of the current year, as well as how many were buyers & how many were sellers. Knowing the list price to sales price ratio and the average amount of time their listings were on the market is also a good statistic to find out.
Q. "What is your availability?"
Houses are moving quickly! Being able to get into that new listing the second it hits the market could be the key to snatching it up before other buyers have a chance to see it.
Q. "How will you communicate & keep in touch with me?"
Think of how frequently you would like to hear from your agent and what method of communication works best for you. Make sure you are comfortable with their strategy and style.
Q. "Will you preview houses for me?" Q. "How do you arrive at the recommended list price?"
Your time is valuable! Once your agent has a good idea what you are searching for they should be reviewing homes for you the second a new listing hits the market, or even before they hit the market, instead of running you around to look at every new house that comes on the market.
Q. "How do you arrive at the recommended list price?"
Always be cautious of agents who suggest a price higher than what other similar homes are selling for near you. You want to select an agent who is knowledgable of pricing trends in nearby areas and can explain to you how they arrived at their recommended price.
Q. "If you are not available to show me a property do you have an agent/team member that backs you up?"
Top agents are always hard at work and are usually working with multiple clients. If they are already booked and your dream house becomes available they should have someone that backs them up and can get you in right away to see the property. Our team consists of 9 Delaware Realtors, one Maryland Realtor, and two Realtors licensed in DE & MD. We cover from the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware & Maryland Beaches!
Q. "What is your success rate and strategy for getting offers submitted when there is heavy competition?"
Multiple offers are extremely common in today's market. A great agent will know how to structure a solid offer that will put you at the front of the line for consideration. Our team has a Transaction Coordinator that specializes in this process.
Q. "Do you have a preferred lender that you can recommend?"
Top Realtors have a working relationship with one or several great lenders. A knowledgable lender can be the key to a smooth transaction and can also help you tremendously in being the winning bid in multiple offer situations.
There are always more questions to ask Realtors but hopefully the above will help you hire the right agent to assist you in your buying & selling experience!

A genuine estate purchase choice is a document that provides someone the authority to purchase a bit of property in a fixed cost throughout the term that real estate purchase choice is essentially. Throughout the option period, the dog owner can't sell the home to other people and should sell the home towards the purchaser from the option when the purchaser desires the home. The client has got the right, although not the duty, to buy the home. The client allow the choice expire without acquiring the property. Your main lose, within this situation, will be the cost you compensated for real estate purchase option.
You will find three considerations to determine at that time the choice is produced for that property.
1. Just how much are you going to spend the money for property if you choose to get it? It doesn't matter when the property's value rises or lower throughout the option term, you'll be able to buy the home for that cost decided within the option. When the value rises, won by you, however, if the value goes lower, you need to allow the option expire and merely get it for that going value at that time. Your maximum loss is the total amount you compensated the dog owner for real estate purchase option.
2. How lengthy may be the term from the option? The word is really a fixed period of time and depends upon what your owner will decided. Most option contracts possess a a couple of year term but it may be any period of time that you simply agree.
3. Just how much are you prepared to spend the money for option? You have to buy the option from who owns the home. These funds is one of the owner regardless of if you choose to buy the property or allow the option expire.
To avoid the dog owner from selling the home as the choice is essentially, you are able to record real estate purchase option using the county courthouse. However, you might want to think about the effects of the action as some mortgage companies call the borrowed funds due when they visit a purchase choice for the home because they contemplate it a purchase. You need to use your judgment with this.
When you possess a property purchase option, you control the home. Also, real estate purchase choice is also a good thing which may be offered, or allotted to someone else if you want. Look for the following article to determine you skill together with your property now that you've got guaranteed the acquisition option.

I'm still mildly obsessed with Tom Petty. Here are two VH1 programs featuring TP.
I'm still mildly obsessed with Tom Petty. Here are two VH1 programs featuring TP.
I had the good fortune to meet Tom many years ago. I had a scheduled interview as a music journo, but our talk ended up going all the way until showtime (I still feel bad for the 5 other writers whose opportunity was lost that day).
Remember thinking to myself afterwards: that might have been the most normal human I'll ever meet in this business.
He had issues, could be a bit of a dick sometimes, wasn't just a bit particular about his work, and was someone easily called a music nerd. At the end of the day, he had a good heart and wanted to be a good person.
Damned if that doesn't describe a whole lot of people both I and everyone else knows. The one in question just happened to be in a band that sold a lot of records.
More importantly, I got the impression he saw himself as no more than that, despite all those years in the spotlight.
And this, I liked even more than his music.

Cancer kills nearly 600,000 Americans per year. And this year alone, over 1.6 million people will be diagnosed. So much time and research has gone into the cure of cancer in the last few decades. Yet, because of the stigma associated with marijuana, this wonder plant has been largely ignored by governments and researchers as a potential cure – or a key piece to a cure at least.
The Admission
In August 2015, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) released a report on their website which stated, "Marijuana kills cancer". Yes, you read that right – marijuana kills cancer.

Mark Lindsay
Mark Lindsay was born on March 9, 1942, in Eugene, Oregon. He was the second of eight children. The family moved to Idaho when he was young. Lindsay began performing at the age of fifteen with local bands. He was tapped to sing in a band called Freddy Chapman and the Idaho Playboys after he won a local talent contest. After Chapman left the area, Lindsay saw the other band members and a new member, Paul Revere, playing at a local I.O.O.F. Hall. He persuaded the current band to allow him to sing a few songs with them. The next day he was working at his regular job at a bakery when Paul Revere came in to buy supplies for a hamburger restaurant that he owned. This chance meeting began their professional relationship. Lindsay became lead singer and saxophone player in a band with Revere and several others. He suggested they call themselves "The Downbeats" after a magazine with the same title. They made some demo tapes in 1960 in Boise, Idaho, and signed with a record company called Gardena Records. Paul Revere and the Raiders scored their first national hit with the piano/sax instrumental "Like, Long Hair" which peaked at #38 in the Billboard charts on April 17th, 1961. The group began dressing in Revolutionary War-style outfits. Mark Lindsay carried the theme a bit further by growing his hair out and pulling it back into a ponytail, which became his signature look. Lindsay hosted a Saturday afternoon TV show called "Where the Action Is." By 1968, Lindsay had completely taken over the writing and producing tasks for the group. Paul Revere & the Raiders had a revolving cast of band members, with only Revere and Mark Lindsay remaining in the group since its inception. Dick Clark created another show, "Happening 68", which was to be hosted by Paul Revere and Mark Lindsay and feature the group. The group itself was featured prominently in this show. Happening '68 premiered in January 1968. The show was so popular that the group also hosted a daily version over the summer of 1968, called It's Happening. Happening '68 survived into 1969, at which point the name of the show became Happening. The show was canceled in October 1969. Mark Lindsay had some success with such songs as "Arizona" (Billboard #9--Gold single) and "Silverbird" (Billboard #25) in 1970 [4]. He recorded "Indian Reservation", a song written by John Loudermilk years earlier, to be a solo recording, but the decision was made to release the song under the name "The Raiders" and it went on to be the only number one song in the group's history. He continued to chart solo singles throughout 1970-71 ("Miss America" (#44--May 1970), "And the Grass Won't Pay No Mind" (#44--November 1970), "Problem Child" (#80--January 1971), "Been too Long On the Road" (#98--June 1971) and "Are You Old Enough" (#87--October 1971)[5]. Lindsay kept his profile up by appearing on The Carpenters television variety show Make Your Own Kind of Music, as well as singing the themes to films Something Big (1972) and Jody, the theme from Santee (1973-credited to The Raiders). According to a Rolling Stone interview (conducted in 1985), Lindsay left The Raiders because "there was a contractual thing I didn't agree with, and I just stopped." Lindsay continued to record solo singles for a few years (for Warner Bros., Elka and Greedy) before retiring from performing to serve as head of A&R for United Artists Records. He contributed to the recordings of artists such as Gerry Rafferty (on "Baker Street"), Kenny Rogers, and others. His accomplishments also included composing jingles for commercials (including Baskin Robbins, Datsun, Kodak, Pontiac and Levi's among others) and scores for motion pictures. He contributed both his voice and his musical compositions to advertisements for companies such as Yamaha, which used the music from "Silverbird" as the background to one of its commercials. He also composed music for the movies For Pete's Sake and The Love Machine, sung by Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick, respectively, and for a 1982 documentary, The Killing of America, as well as a song for the movie Savage Streets. In 1980 he dubbed a voice and co-wrote the musical score (with W. Michael Lewis) for the American version of the Japanese movie Shogun Assassin. On November 11, 2006, "Mark After Dark" switched to FM webcast "K-Hits 106-7" KLTH Saturday nights 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. PST. On March 10, 2007, the program "Mark After Dark" changed its name to "Mark Lindsay's Rock & Roll Cafe" to refer to Lindsay's new restaurant, which opened to the public in Portland, Oregon, on August 27, 2007. The restaurant includes a remote studio where Lindsay does his radio show in front of restaurant guests and can be seen from the street and sidewalk. The studio is also used at times by other K-Hits air personalities. On September 21, 2007, a federal lawsuit was filed against the new restaurant for the restaurant's allegedly unauthorized use of various trademarks owned by the Yaw family, who had operated a series of restaurants in the Portland area for many years.[7][8] On May 12, 2008, "Mark Lindsay's Rock & Roll Cafe" announced its closure. [9] Lindsay's recording of Treat Her Right with Los Straightjackets in 2001 was cited by Stephen King in his column for Entertainment Weekly in May 2008. "This remake of Roy Head's 1965 soul hit smokes. And Mark Lindsay sounds so good you just gotta wonder where he was all those years." Lindsay married his second wife Deborah (née Brandt) on July 29, 1989, in McCall, Idaho. His first marriage ended in the early 1980's
