Proper installation of RF connectors onto coax cable is critical in wireless system performance. Two new N male connectors simplify the installation process by eliminating the need to trim the braid during cable preparation. The RFN-1006-49I features a solderless captive pin and the RFN-1006-4I features a crimp pin. Both connectors are compatible for high performance cables such as Times Microwave LMR®-400, CommScope CNT®-400, Belden 9913, and RF Industries RFI-CU400™. Combination hex/knurl coupling nuts allow for tightening by hand or wrench. White Bronze (tri-metal) plating eliminates tarnishing while providing improved electrical performance and reduced PIM (Passive Intermodulation). Exceptional VSWR of less than 1.10 to 1 up to 3Ghz and less than 1.20 to 1 up to 8Ghz is achieved through an enhanced impedance matching design. Industry standard tooling can be used for cable preparation and crimp termination. Heat shrink and assembly instructions are included with each connector. VSWR charts are available.
Available from RF Connectors Distributors throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. For additional information contact us at 800-233-1728 or 858-549-6340, email@example.com or visit our web site at www.rfindustries.com.

This will do justice to the space and it will also give a royal dining space feel. Another good way of playing with the narrow dining space is to go with the glass dining tables. The trick simply lies in the reflection of light. Since it is not opaque, it will give a visual illusion of more space a slight will pass through it. Therefore, your narrow room will not look occupied by a dining space. A glass dining table with a wrought iron frame can be a perfect idea for a narrow dining room.

Hello friends and family,
I just finished the last of three camps I was able to serve in this summer. The first camp was in Almaty followed by Bishkek and the final one was back in Almaty with the Special Friends. The camps were huge successes with over 200 youth total. I had a few in depth conversations with some new Brothers. We have our first weekly club time starting this Saturday.
Please pray for many youth to attend our weekly clubs as well as their hearts be open to us and the Father.
Please pray for my intentionality and time with young influencial men in the area.

Q. I'm using Windows XP and when I view the same page on different users' account, the layout and fonts are different.
On one account the fonts seem to run into each other and the font looks a lot larger, causing a confusing screen. On the other four accounts the fonts are fine. What do you think?
A. In Windows XP your font size is configured using three primary options. The first two are in your Display Properties menu. You can access this by right-clicking any blank spot on your desktop and selecting properties or by double-clicking the Display icon in your control panel.
At the far right hand tab of this menu called Settings, select Advanced and change the DPI (dots per inch) setting. This will increase or decrease the size of all objects on you PC. To adjust the font size only, go to the Appearance tab under Display Properties and change the font size to Normal, Large Fonts or Extra Large Fonts.
The third place to adjust font size and the one that most likely applies to your problem is found in Internet Explorer under the View menu. There is an option there called Text Size and this will allow you to change the size of fonts as they appear inside Internet Explorer.

We're WesfedWe're out to change the world by promoting fantastic companies and improving their impact on the communities they serve.
WESFED 2008-Present
WESFED was founded in early 2008 as a web development agency. What began as a hobby has now turned into a team of like-minded professionals serving clients all over the United States.
WESFED has moved geographically throughout the years but has established Clarksville, TN as its official headquarters. Here, WESFED aims to improve the community by promoting great companies and making them the best.
Our Mission
At WESFED, our mission is to change the world by promoting fantastic companies and improving their impact on the communities they serve. We want honest companies to thrive and dishonest companies to disappear. We stand by our clients and refuse to work with any company that we feel will not create a positive impact on the community.
Marketing Philosophy
Communication is the key to success
From emails to phone calls, to client meetings, to team meetings, communication is key. We realize that clear, concise communication is the real secret to being productive, efficient, and excellent.
Data is communication
As marketers, we live by data. Statistics, numbers, and patterns are all very important to producing quality results for our clients. We understand that data is a form of communication that is just as important as any other.
Our Process
It all starts with an introduction. Whether through our website, a referral or by other means, everything starts with an introductory phone call. We want to get a quick glimpse of your company and what you're looking for so we can determine if it makes sense to move forward. If your company is looking to grow through Inbound Marketing, we'll schedule a time to discuss things further.
Our initial consultation will dive a bit deeper into the details of your company. We'll discuss inbound in more detail and really see if it's something that your company is ready for. We only succeed when our clients succeed and we only seek to work with companies that are a great fit for inbound. If our companies mesh, we'll move ahead and schedule a time to start paving the road forward.
Roadmapping is when we discuss company growth goals and how we're going to reach them. This normally consists of an in-person meeting or video call but can be done over the phone as well. Here, we really dig deep into your company, its market, and how we plan to have a successful campaign. Lastly, we provide you with actionable steps to get started.
Our development stage is the all-inclusive step of implementing the inbound strategy that will take us from "Point A" to "Point B." A big part of how this will play out will depend on your market and your specific audience. This stage normally consists of web development, buyer personas, and the initial SEO.
Once the initial development stage is over, we begin the long-term growth plan of the roadmap document. This includes continual improvements through Growth-Driven Design, executing our Inbound Marketing Strategy, and continual reporting and ROI assessments.
SMB Companies Thrive with Wesfed
WESFED has made a huge impact on our website and user engagements. We never expected for such a big improvement within the first year of working together!
Super Great Work! [WESFED] is easy to work with and gets the job done right. Will work with again.

After suffering serious injuries or losing someone you love in an accident, you will be facing a challenging road ahead. No defendant will give an accident victim adequate compensation without a fight, so the legal process needs to be handled by a lawyer with experience and tenacity.

So it is critical to work with an attorney who will help you obtain the best compensation award possible, while letting you keep a reasonable percentage of your own award.
"I am a lawyer who takes great pride in the compassion and personalized service I give to my clients as well as the aggressive, tenacious approach I take to protect their interests. My colleagues have nicknamed me "The Boar" because of the aggressive approach I take with my clients' adversaries and the insurance companies involved.

From dancing at Hanley's House of Happiness to raising pints at Kelly's Pub on St. Patrick's Day, the history of the Irish community in Chicago is told through stories of its gathering places. Families are drawn to the pub after Sunday church, in the midst of sporting events, following funerals, and during weddings. In good times and bad, the pub has been a source of comfort, instruction, and joy--a constant in a changing world. Based on interviews with tavern owners, musicians, bartenders, and scholars, Chicago's Historic Irish Pubs explores the way the Irish pub defines its block, its neighborhood, and its city.

A closer look at the classroom-expenses deduction for teachers: How big is it?
As congressional Republicans tout the benefits of their party's tax proposal, Democratic lawmakers are trying to pick the bill apart, provision by provision.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., took aim at one specific element of the bill that is of interest to many K-12 teachers.
"Teachers spend $1.6 BILLION per year on school supplies. The Republican tax bill ELIMINATES their ability to deduct those expenses," Feinstein tweeted on Nov. 6.
She's referring to a provision in the tax code that allows teachers to deduct eligible, unreimbursed classroom spending up to $250. The provision was expanded and made permanent in December 2015.
The tax bill unveiled by House Republicans would have scrapped the deduction.
Feinstein's tweet was retweeted at least 26,000 times, and received at least 34,000 likes.
The California Democrat has a point in her tweet, though we found two elements of it that are worthy of some caution.
The $1.6 billion figure stems from a study by the National School Supply and Equipment Association. The study found that "on average, teachers reported spending about $149 of their own money on school supplies, $198 on instructional materials, and $138 on other classroom materials for a total of $485 in the 2012-2013 school year."
Note the time frame: The study goes back five years.
To be fair, there has been at least one more recent survey along these lines, from 2016 by a group called AdoptAClassroom.org. This study offers a higher figure for out-of-pocket classroom spending by teachers -- $600 a year.
But if Feinstein had used the $600 figure, she would worsened the second, and more significant, problem with her tweet.
As we noted above, the limit for deducting unreimbursed classroom expenditures is $250 per teacher. So of that $485 spent out-of-pocket by the average teacher, $235 would not be deductible. (Teachers who itemize also can deduct more than that, but only if the out-of-pocket amounts are especially large, meaning few would qualify to do so.)
If you adjust the calculation to take that into account, the approximate value of the lost deduction would be $825 million, not the $1.6 billion Feinstein cited in her tweet.
Feinstein's office said they sent out a subsequent tweet that provided some more specificity. That tweet said, "The average teacher spends $500 per year on school supplies. Republican plan says they can't deduct even $250 from their tax bill. Terrible!"
For what it's worth, that tweet sent about three hours later attracted only a fraction of the attention the earlier tweet received -- 4,600 retweets and 8,600 likes.
Finally, we should note that the $825 million figure is a maximum amount that could theoretically be deducted. In reality, not every teacher who qualifies for this deduction takes advantage of it, for whatever reason.
The Treasury Department estimates that in tax year 2016, the classroom expense deduction reduced federal tax revenue by $210 million. That makes Feinstein's $1.6 billion figure even more overstated.
Feinstein tweeted, "Teachers spend $1.6 BILLION per year on school supplies. The Republican tax bill ELIMINATES their ability to deduct those expenses."
She has a point that the GOP plan would get rid of the existing deduction for out-of-pocket classroom expenses for teachers. But the tweet overstates the value of the deduction in two ways -- first, because only a portion of that amount can actually be deducted under the law, and second, because not all teachers use the deduction.
We rate the statement Half True.
CORRECTION, Nov. 7, 2017, 7:30 p.m.: After this article was published, several readers informed us that teachers do not have to itemize to benefit from this deduction. Any qualified teacher can reduce their taxable income by $250 off the top, whether they itemize or not. Some teachers with very large out-of-pocket expenses may be able to deduct additional amounts if they itemize. We have changed the article to reflect this. The rating remains the same.

Soundbytes: A Stunning Success
Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus' first Open Mic, "Soundbytes" was a marvelous mash-up of musical talents. Held on Friday, October 7, at the Knights of Columbus, the fundraiser showcased performers in a variety of musical genres and a spectrum of ages from high school seniors to senior citizens. The audience enjoyed a beautiful Adele solo, rocked to the sounds of a local garage band, danced to Take 2, was uplifted by Back to Three's message, and entertained by several Barbershop quartets from Saratoga Soundtrack, Capitaland, and Racing City Choruses, as well as Nancy Plaat & Mary McDonnell, Daniel Plaat, Freida Barton, Hopscotch, The Remnants, All In, Something Legendary, Jessica Vallee, Xstatic, Into Wishin', Rhythm Method, and Mo BoRhap.
Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus would like to thank the Knights of Columbus for their accommodations with refreshments; all of our participants; and our audience for making this such a successful venture. About $800 was raised at this fun event. Proceeds will enable Saratoga Soundtrack to compete at the regional level in April of 2017.
Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus is an award winning women's a cappella group, singing four-part harmony. Performing everything from standards and jazz to ballads and contemporary songs the chorus has been entertaining under the direction of the talented composer/arranger/director Nancy Faddegon since 2008. Their musical performance is visually enhanced through characterization and choreography. Through the years, this musical group has delighted local audiences at many popular events and venues: Congress Park, Saratoga Race Course, and First Night.
Saratoga Soundtrack Chorus is a not-for-profit chartered chorus of Sweet Adelines International, a worldwide organization of women singers committed to advancing the musical art form of barbershop harmony through education and performance. SSC recently placed fifth in the Sweet Adelines Region 15 Greater NewYork/New Jersey. At the SAI competition held in Las Vegas Saratoga Soundtrack won fourth place in Division A (small choruses).

What do you get when you introduce a woman from the far northwest side of Chicago who not only wanted to be a priest from the time she received her First Holy Communion (in the Roman Catholic Church) but also had an Anglican understanding of the Eucharist to the Episcopal Church via her late husband? When she rediscovers the beauty of the liturgy, the expansiveness of its theology and its passion for mission and her sense of call is affirmed, you get a mature woman delighted to do the work God meant her to do. Not that her 26+ years as a social worker (working with adults with disabilities) is abandoned. . .
What do you get when a 'formerly serious (read 'uptight') person discovers the joy of spontaneity of play through dance, improv, stand-up and goofing around with her Norwegian elkhound and her many friends? When you combine these qualities with a passion for learning and teaching, ministry that is centered on connecting people with each other and God, creativity and drive, you get Deb Seles!
Deb is a graduate of Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, and was ordained in 2002. She served as an assisting priest at St. Christopher's in Oak Park, Illinois; as Executive Director at L'Arche Chicago, an interfaith community where people with and without disabilities live, work, pray and play; as Chaplain at Bishop Anderson House, serving John Stroger Hospital; a trained, certified, and practicing spiritual director and intentional interim rector; and for six years as Rector of the Church of the Ascension in Twin Falls, Idaho.
Deb begins her ministry as Associate Rector at St. Margaret's on July 1, and can be reached at email@example.com updated: September 10, 2018 at 19:32 pm

Only 11 months after GM very publicly announced that it was pulling its $10 million ad budget off of Facebook — practically on the eve of Facebook's IPO — the car company is back on the social media site.
Last May, a GM source told the WSJ that paid ads had little impact when it came to customers buying cars. Less than a year later, an email statement from Chevrolet marketing VP Chris Perry says, "Today, Chevrolet is launching an industry-first 'mobile-only' pilot campaign for the Chevrolet Sonic that utilizes newly available targeting and measurement capabilities on Facebook."
Reports from last year indicate that Facebook executives had urged GM to do more free media on its brand page, rather than paid, before the company left.
Former CMO Joel Ewanick helmed the Facebook exodus. At the time, he was doing an overhaul on all of GM's advertising and marketing strategies.
But Ewanick and GM parted ways in July — two months after the headline-making decision was announced — and return to paid Facebook advertising (with an undisclosed budget) is coming months later.
This begs the question: Why now?
While there hasn't been an explanation from GM on why it is returning to paid advertising at this point in time, and the hiatus wasn't discussed in the statement, both companies confirmed that this has been in the works for the past year.
Facebook released a statement that, "We've had an ongoing dialogue with GM over the last 12 months and are pleased to have them back as an advertiser on Facebook. We look forward to working even more closely with GM in the coming weeks and months."
The NYTimes reports, "According to Ryndee Carney, a spokeswoman at General Motors in Detroit, General Motors 'worked closely with Facebook' on the idea for the test campaign, which was presented to 'the Chevrolet digital team, Carat and Commonwealth.'"
For GM and Facebook, looks like after a dramatic year, everyone is back to playing nice. Or figuring out a subtle way to make a graceful return.
While last year's bad PR might outweigh the good of this announcement, GM's return, particularly to Facebook's expanding mobile initiatives, is helpful to the social media company.
A new report by market researcher IDC says that Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, and The Weather Channel are giving big ad networks like Google and Millennial Media a run for their money, making up 52 percent of U.S. mobile display ad spending.
Facebook made $234 million in mobile revenue in the U.S. last year and is constantly working on it's mobile strategy, which makes sense considering that 60 percent of Facebook's 1.1 billion users were using the social network on mobile devices in Q4 2012. And who knows what the Facebook phone will bring to the company's mobile advertising strategy.
Last year, Facebook may have been an option. This year even the most skeptical clients are being forced to admit that spending on the network is justified.
GM claims that it is testing its ads on mobile devices only. While that is the growing market, it seems kind of ridiculous to continue shunning Facebook's desktop ads. We suspect that in a few months, GM ads will begin to trickle onto all available screens.

It's once more into the breach for the Renault Koleos, as the French widen their assault on the SUV market. On looks, at least, it's off to a good start, with a face that emphasizes the company's distinctive design language. C-shaped daytime running lights will make it recognisable in your rear-view mirror, and the full LED headlights on higher-spec models should help at night.
Renault has put its best foot forward when it comes to standard equipment, and there are just two trim grades to choose from. The entry-level Dynamique S Nav gets 18in alloy wheels, half-leather interior and an infotainment system that allows full integration with your smartphone.
Unsurprisingly, there is a variety of safety systems as standard, like Blind Spot and Lane Departure Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition with Over-speed Prevention – so there's even less excuse for being nabbed for speeding. Front and rear parking sensors, a reversing camera, an electronic speed limiter and cruise control all make it on the standard spec list, too.
The lack of availability of adaptive cruise control is surprising, but an even more glaring omission is the absence of a third-row seating option, so this is strictly a five-seat SUV, unlike many of the Koleos's supposed rivals. D'oh. Renault has kept things simple in the engine department too, which is exclusively diesel for the UK market for now.
It kicks off with the familiar 1.6-litre 4cyl turbo that produces a modest 128bhp and useful 236lb ft of torque. It comes with a 6spd manual and drives the front wheels. All-wheel drive is only available with the larger 174bhp 2.0-litre dCi engine, as is the 7spd automatic transmission.
The Koleos is more refined than you might expect from its Kadjar DNA, and its ride comfort is right up there with some of the best in the segment. The steering is pleasingly direct and the FWD model handles particularly well, with little in the way of roll in the corners.
Performance is adequate rather than good, but at least it's delivered in a smooth fashion. And that's the Koleos in general: smooth, polished and quietly impressive, banishing memories of its non-illustrious predecessor. Rivals may outgun it in the seating department, but the big Renault fights back with style, specification and generous space for five.

From: The Jakarta GlobeJakarta. In a meeting with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta on Wednesday, the head of Japanese consumer electronics giant Panasonic confirmed that it planned to move its production base to Indonesia, senior Indonesian government officials said.
By Camelia Pasandaran
By Camelia Pasandaran
Gita Wirjawan, chairman of the Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), said Panasonic president Fumio Ohtsubo told Yudhoyono and Vice President Boediono in separate meetings that the company would move its factories from China and Vietnam to Indonesia to take advantage of lower wages and the booming economy, which is driven by consumer spending.
Gita first revealed that Panasonic was considering such a move in March.
Industry Minister MS Hidayat, who was present at Ohtsubo's meeting with Boediono, said Panasonic was upbeat about the country's economic prospects, and would close its factories in China and relocate them here. He did not offer a timeframe or investment value for the move.
"They are committed to making Indonesia the production base for exports as well as for the domestic market," Hidayat said.
This week, the Wall Street Journal reported that the average wage for factory workers in China is about three times more expensive than in Indonesia - $413 versus $129 a month - while wages in Vietnam were $136.
The report cited research by JP Morgan, CEIC and the International Labor Association.
Rachmat Gobel, the chairman of Panasonic Gobel, the electronics firm's local unit, also declined to cite an investment value for Panasonic's factory relocations, saying only that the parent company had been continuously investing in Indonesia, and had already brought the total to $400 million.
Panasonic's three factories in Indonesia - in Jakarta, Surabaya and Batam - make home appliances, personal electronics and batteries.
"Its current annual turnover [in Indonesia] is $850 million," Gita said, adding that it is expected to surge to $3 billion by 2014, partly because of its recent acquisition of Sanyo.
Yopie Hidayat, a spokesman for Boediono, said Panasonic told the vice president the company may also develop solar panels domestically.
"It plans to turn houses into self-sufficient energy houses with zero emissions," Yopie said. "They made the prototype in Japan but are considering whether to develop the industry there or in Indonesia considering the skilled-laborers here and the availability of abundant solar energy. The vice president supports the plan to make Indonesia as the production base, not only as the market."
"They're still considering the solar panel development here," he added. "But the LED factories have been here and there's also plans to extend the battery production factory."
Boediono encouraged Panasonic to develop solar energy as it could supply remote regions of the country with electricity.
Gita and Hidayat both said Panasonic's decision was expected to convince other companies to make Indonesia their production base.

Illumination-Universal's "The Secret Life of Pets" is dominating the U.S. box office with a $96 million opening weekend at 4,329 locations, estimates showed Saturday.
The animated comedy took in $38 million on its opening day Friday, five times higher than the first day of "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" with about $6.6 million at 2,982 sites.
"The Secret Life of Pets" will wind up dwarfing the weekend's second-place finisher — either Disney/Pixar's fourth weekend of "Finding Dory," which has won three consecutive weekends and is playing at 3,871 venues, or Warner Bros.' second weekend of "The Legend of Tarzan" at 3,591 sites. Both are heading for weekends of around $20 million.
Fox's launch of Zac Efron's "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" will finish fourth with about $18 million, followed by Universal/Blumhouse's second frame of horror sequel "The Purge: Election Year" with about $11 million at 2,821 sites and New Line-Universal's fourth weekend of Dwayne Johnson-Kevin Hart comedy "Central Intelligence" with $8 million.
"Pets" will post the sixth-best opening of 2016 following "Captain America: Civil War," "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "Finding Dory," "Deadpool" and "The Jungle Book" — all members of the elite group of 39 titles that have opened with more than $100 million domestically. It's also a new opening weekend domestic record for an original animated film, topping the $90.4 million launch of "Inside Out" last summer.
Popular on Variety
"Pets," which explores the lives of pets in Manhattan after their owners go to work, is performing well above recent forecasts, which placed it in the $70 million to $80 million range. It's another strong entry in the animated sector, which has been a key contributor to keeping the overall business healthy this year with "Dory," Disney's "Zootopia," Sony's "The Angry Birds Movie" and Fox's "Kung Fu Panda 3."
The "Pets" voice cast includes Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, Steve Coogan and Albert Brooks. "Despicable Me" helmer Chris Renaud directs and Yarrow Cheney co-directs from a script by Cinco Paul, Ken Daurio and Brian Lynch.
Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri and longtime collaborator Janet Healy produced the movie — which carries a relatively modest $75 million price tag.
The raunchy "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates," starring Efron, Adam DeVine, Anna Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza, is performing slightly better than forecasts. Efron's R-rated comedy "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" opened in May with a $21.8 million weekend for Universal.
"Pets" is by far the biggest opening of the year for Universal, which has seen only middling performance in 2016 after a record-setting 2015. It's also another success for Illumination, which opened "Minions" a year ago with $115 million on its way to a $336 million domestic total and $1.16 billion worldwide for Universal.
"Finding Dory" will finish the weekend with about $422 million as it surpasses Disney-Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" as the top 2016 domestic grosser and the 16th largest title of all time just behind "The Lion King" at $422.8 million. "Captain America: Civil War" is 20th on that list at $406 million.

A religious moment? Not at all. He is "pardoning" the turkey--i.e., releasing it from its death sentence -- presidents can do this.ReplyDelete

Painful Turds
As soon as the question leaves my lips, my guests practically rise out of their chairs in anticipation. (Or is that the result of broccoli backwind?) In any case, Painful Turds are as much a part of caker culture as−
Okay, okay. They're not called Painful Turds. I made that up. They're really called Chow Mein Noodles Chipit Crunchies. But my name is just so much more…visually appropriate, don't you think?
Don't let appearances fool you, though. These delicious drops have been a popular fixture at caker bake sales for years. And they're as easy to make as JELL-O. Just make sure you use the crunchy chow mein noodles and not the soft kind. After all, no one likes a soggy turd.
12 ounces chocolate chips
12 ounces butterscotch chips
2 cups peanuts
2 cups chow mein noodles
Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips slowly in pan. Stir, then add noodles and peanuts. Mix thoroughly, then drop by spoonful on waxed paper. Chill, then pack in sealed container.

Yoga is a set of ancient Indian spiritual practices from more than five thousand ago years. Yoga is one of the six schools of Hindu philosophy. The people of India see Yoga as a means to both spiritual and physiological mastery. Outside of India, Yoga has developed into a fitness program mostly utilizing the practice of postures (asanas) of Hatha Yoga.
As a means of spiritual realization, Yoga is a key part of Jainism, Buddhism, and Hinduism (including Vedanta). Additionally, other religious and spiritual practices throughout the world have been influenced by Yoga. Many Hindu texts establish the basis for Yoga, such as the Upanishads, the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and many others.
Yoga Paths
The four main paths of Yoga are Karma Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and Raja Yoga. A committed practitioner of yoga is referred to as a yogi, yogin (masculine), or yogini (feminine).
Yoga Asanas of Hatha Yoga
The physical aspect of Yoga, the asanas, has been much popularized in the West.
Generally, contemporary usage of the word 'asana' in reference to the practice of yoga refers to a physical posture or pose. Although 'asana' originally referred to sitting meditation, its scope has evolved over centuries to cover a great variety of body postures.
The practice of Yoga asanas:
- balances various internal and glandular functions
- promotes tendon strength
- massages the internal organs
- promotes muscle flexibility
Despite the common misconception that Yoga consists only of asana practice, Yoga asanas are actually part of Hatha Yoga, which is just one of several different yogic paths.

Danica Patrick was the first woman to ever hold the pole position for the start of the Daytona 500 Sunday. She didn't win the race.
In a contest with several collisions, Jimmy Johnson survived to win the trophy.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished second for the third time in four years.
Johnson, who won the race for the second time, led 17 laps.
"I had a lot of confidence leading the train," Johnson said of taking the front position as the remaining cars raced around the 2.5-mile track, mostly in single file. "I knew I had a fast car."
Danica Patrick finished in 8th position. She led three times, including five laps under green — also becoming the first woman to lead a lap at the race not under a yellow flag caution. She accomplished the highest finish ever for a female driver at the race.
"At the end of the day it was a solid day," she said. "We stayed basically in the top 10 all day so it was nice. "Crew chief Tony Gibson beamed after the race. "She did great under pressure," he said.
"The Great American Race" is history, and history was made.

A new CD is out this week, which features long-lost recordings of Don McLean, Jerry Jeff Walker, Pete Seeger and others. The recordings were made at the oldest continuously operating folk coffee house in the country, Caffe Lena.
Host Dick Gordon speaks to Jocelyn Arem, who has spent years gathering reel-to-reel and other taped recordings from attics and basements, and digitizing the music. She's also traveled the country, recording oral history memories of the Saratoga Springs, N.Y. shop with musicians such as Ani DiFranco.
The project is called the Caffe Lena History Project, and it includes a CD boxed set, a book, and a traveling exhibition.

Creative Alternatives School (CAS) was established in 2014 to meet the needs of children who required a special education setting. CAS is a private, nonpublic school for children with special needs that include emotional disturbance (ED), a learning disability (LD), attention deficit disorder (ADD), and other health impairments (OHI).
CAS serves students in grades K – 12 who due to various maladaptive behaviors, cannot attend public school. The program is designed to enable students to obtain a quality education and the necessary skill sets for re-entry into a public school setting.
Each classroom accommodates up to 12 students who are instructed by a credentialed special education teacher and two teaching assistants. Lessons are derived from California State Standards and then individually modified to help students prepare for transition to public school. In addition to obtaining a solid academic background, students have access to psychological counseling, speech and language therapy, behavioral support management, and other specialized services through GBS.
Creative Alternatives School teachers focus on academic content and behavior support as it relates to the student's IEP. The special education needs of the students at CAS are met by using specific teaching strategies that have been proven to be effective in changing student outcomes in a positive manner.
CAS currently serves students who reside in Fresno County. Creative Alternatives School is a specialized non public school that provides highly structured and small classroom sizes along with educational and therapeutic programs that includes a behavior management component. The school primarily services students with mild to moderate and moderate to severe social/emotional disturbances.
CAS also provides a Transition Program that includes vocational education and group activities such as career planning. During Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meetings, the team reviews the appropriateness of the student's placement in accordance with the (FAPE) Free and Appropriate Public Education mandate. This includes academic, social/emotional and behavioral issues. The IEP team considers and documents such issues as peer and adult relationships, academic abilities with respect to performance, and student's behavioral issues.

A top field has been lined up to test North East long jump star Chris Tomlinson at Gateshead's International Stadium next month.
Fast Track has specially added a men's long jump competition to their Tyneside programme - and brought over the top two in the world to test Middlesbrough-born Tomlinson.
He'll go against 2001 world silver medallist Savante Stringfellow of the United States, who currently leads the IAAF world rankings.
And Dwight Phillips, second in the world this year, will also jump at the Norwich Union Super League meet on Sunday, July 13.
Tomlinson burst into prominence in April of last year when he finally consigned the oldest British record to the history books.
His clearance of 8.27 metres at a meeting in Tallahassee, Florida, broke Lynn Davies' 34-year-old long jump mark - three months after Tomlinson broke both his wrists in a freak training accident.
The 8.23m record set by 1964 Olympic champion Davies had proved beyond a generation of British athletes, a matter which had long been a national embarrassment.
The huge Tomlinson - 6ft 5in tall - had been injured when he was trying to power lift 107kg. He slipped backwards, lost his balance and the weights fell on top of him. However, within 48 hours the Teessider was back in training despite having both wrists in plaster.
Tomlinson won his third long jump title at the AAA Indoor Championships this year.
He has bounced back from the hamstring injury he sustained during his opening jump of 7.73 at the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham to take part with the GB team at the European Cup this weekend.
Tomlinson has been greatly helped by Olympic triple jump champion Jonathan Edwards, whose first outing of the season will be at Gateshead.
Coach Peter Stanley has worked with both of them.

I have yet to be to another city with as many interesting and thriving breweries as Portland, OR. It's even ok (in my opinion) to judge an eating establishment by who they have on tap (if you walk in and only see PBR, Heinekin, and Coors–it's time to keep looking). I love how it's socially acceptable to walk into a brewery with a large jug to fill for later, and some breweries even have their own food cart entourage that ensures hot food is available to beer lovers. I usually rate breweries on three subjects: venue (is it cozy? Neat? Cramped?), beer offering (i.e. do they offer a lot of different kinds? Do they have guest taps? Sours? Ciders?), and service (because a smile goes a long way).
Recently, the standard was set for breweries by a Portland-based brewery by the name of Base Camp Brewing. Their brewery and taproom, located in inner SE Portland, is an experience. The taproom has vast amounts of seating compared to most other breweries I've frequented, and the entire place exudes a mountaineering feel. It brings to mind one of my favorite quotes from comedian Mitch Hedberg–
Base Camp Brewing
I would live at Base Camp Brewing if they'd let me. The taproom is set up on to a second story, and outside at the street level there are bonfires burning in the evenings with seating. I'm half convinced they donated tents to the surrounding homeless as you will see tents pitched in the blocks around the brewery.
Base Camp only had its own beers on tap during my multiple visits, and this impressed me. Not because they didn't include guest taps, but because they had 10-13 of their own beers on tap! That is quite impressive. I also happen to have a special place in my heart for puns, and many of the beers were punningly named (my favorite being the In-Tents IPL of course). Of the ten, I've managed to sip four to five but have come back to the S'mores Stout every time–and no, it's not because it's got a charred marshmallow on the rim of the glass. I just have a thing for espresso-y stouts.

Survey 2 – 2017
Commercial Radio Audience Measurement survey shows 3.35 million people, more than 80% of New Zealanders aged 10+ listen to commercial radio each week.
Radio Broadcasters Association CEO Jana Rangooni says "At a time of increased competition I'm ecstatic to see yet another period of growth with 48,000 more people listening to commercial radio in this latest survey. Everyone in the industry across all brands should feel incredibly proud to see the work they put in 24/7 to stay relevant and engaged with New Zealanders of all ages is making an impact."
Survey 2 2017 has shown that commercial radio continues to thrive, delivering compelling results across key demographics. Highlights include:
The CEOs of both major commercial radio companies were pleased to see today's results.
Michael Anderson CEO of MediaWorks said "Through these results we see MediaWorks and Radio as a whole consistently demonstrating its connection with New Zealand audiences. Radio is a key part of our media mix and with its ability to deliver content across the full media spectrum - it provides great opportunity for innovation now and into the future."
NZME CEO Michael Boggs points out "It's another strong survey for NZME and for radio as a medium. The standard and strength of the content being produced is resonating with listeners and advertisers but most importantly these results show it's a dynamic medium able to constantly adapt and react to what's happening in the market."
The table shows the ranking of the major commercial Networks by Weekly Reach, Station Share and Breakfast share across all people 10+ and the key 18-34 and 25-54 demographics.
The RBA Ceo Jana Rangooni also notes "With the first year of four rolling surveys the industry will also be releasing more insights as to how people use radio. Last month we released figures around the changing patterns of listening with the younger age groups and today we are also releasing a snapshot showing the devices people are listening to radio on. While these still clearly show traditional AM/FM radios, car radios and stereos are the primary device we will be watching with interest how this evolves over time especially on mobiles.

Kim votes against $50 million in annual funding for housing for homeless people, while at the same time insisting people have a right to live in tents on the street
San Francisco, CA - (July 20, 2016) Supervisor Jane Kim voted on Tuesday to oppose $50 million in annual funding - $1 billion over 20 years - that will create permanent housing for homeless people, as well as build additional navigation centers to get people off the streets and into services. Kim cast this vote while also taking the position that living in tents on public sidewalks should be legal. Kim has a long record opposing efforts to reduce tents on our streets.
"Protecting the right to pitch tents on public sidewalks is more important to Jane Kim than ensuring sustainable funding for new housing and navigation centers that would actually move the homeless off the street and into safe, permanent housing," said Maggie Muir, campaign consultant to Supervisor Scott Wiener.
Kim supports the right to pitch a tent on any public sidewalk, park or plaza. She criticized the city for removing the massive tent encampment on Division Street and supports state legislation that would wipe away San Francisco's local laws against camping on sidewalks and other public spaces.
Kim also has stated that San Francisco and California are in a state of emergency around homelessness. Yet, despite claiming we are in an emergency, Kim opposed this $50 million in annual funding for permanent housing for the homeless, while continuing to support legalizing the tent encampments.
"Jane Kim voted to sacrifice significant and critical funding for housing homeless people, while she continues to protect the right of people to pitch a tent in any public space. Kim talks out of both sides of her mouth. You can't say we have a homelessness emergency and then insist that the right to live in a sidewalk tent is more important than creating stable, safe housing," stated Muir.
The funding Kim opposed was a sales tax, a portion of which (a quarter cent or $50 million annually) would be dedicated to building permanent, supportive housing for homeless people and expanding the city's network of navigation centers to get encampments off the streets and into housing. The funding will be administered by the new Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing. Without this funding, this new department - which consolidates homeless programs to deliver them in a more efficient and coordinated manner - will struggle to achieve its mandate to transition homeless people off the streets and into housing.
Kim recently sponsored and promoted legislation stating that we are in a "state of emergency" around homelessness. Kim even released a video and toothless petition asking for a statewide state of emergency. She followed these pronouncements by voting against this critical funding measure to actually get homeless people off the streets and into housing.

Subscribe To L.A. Noire: Remixed, L.A. Noire Official Soundtrack Announced Updates
I've already subscribed
Today Rockstar Games revealed two music collections inspired by L.A. Noire. L.A. Noire: Remixed and the L.A. Noire Official Soundtrack will be released on iTunes on May 17th.
The official soundtrack is an original score recorded in Abbey Road Studios. It was composed by Andrew Hale, who also worked on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and The Getaway. It features orchestra scores not unlike those found in films from the 1940s. There are also some "modern takes on the classic torch songs of the period" produced and written by Stephen Coates (The Real Tuesday Weld), with Claudia Brucken (Propaganda) providing guest vocals. Woody Elms, who received numerous awards for his work with Red Dead Redemption's original score, composed additional music for the game.
If you're looking for something to dance to, you can pick up L.A. Noire Remixed. Remixed, a collaboration between Rockstar Games and Verve Records, features six "reinterpretations" of jazz classics:

Alien Surgeon
The Alien Surgeon. What cant be seen must be mirrored was possibly the most driven aspect of this piece. I've watched a few Alien Abduction films and they really do get under my skin. they are creepy, intense, and quite sexual in a perverse way, But you cant shoot that stuff and rightly so. I'm a firm believer of what happens in your own mind can be far more powerful at times than having it all laid out in front of you. Here the main concept it to reflect the sexual perversity of the scene on the alien creature, again following the whole premise of it been Within. It was he first finished high detail translucent silicone piece of its kind and was drawing a lot of inspiration from the likes of Ron Mueck in producing these.
A run through the process of creating the Silicone piece

Wow, I can't believe after all these years this is the first time Deion Sanders has made the blog! The dime boxes usually are filled with 85% baseball, but sometimes a few other sports get mixed into the baseball. Usually it's annoying to be thumbing through baseball cards and then hit a run of something else, but this time I was glad to see a football card staring back at me.
This card is part of the 1991 Star Pics set. I never followed his collegiate career and only briefly in the NFL. I became a fan of his for who he is away from the game. None the less it's always nice to find cards of his that I don't have. Of note (at least to me), the back of this card has his college major listed: Broadcasting. No wonder he's so good in the booth!

VoIP stands for "Voice over Internet Protocol." This innovative residential phone technology converts voice signals into digital and then sends them to their intended location via high speed internet networks. In Mount Hope, WV, many consumers find this type of service convenient because they can use VoIP in any location they have access to a high speed, broadband internet connection, allowing them to have access to their home phone number when they are out and about. This is a great feature that can be advantageous for business or personal use.
There are many features that make VoIP worth taking the plunge. Though customers are unable to choose their own area codes when they use regular home phone service, VoIP services allow consumers to customize their phone numbers, including area code! Consumers also can include caller ID, unlimited and international calling, call forwarding, three-way calling, call blocking and more to their plans, with plans beginning at as little as $5.99 per month. It's inexpensive and filled with features that are easy to learn, no matter your level of tech-savvy, which makes it a great option for anyone who wants to save money and use a new, innovative service without spending years learning how to do it right.
The reason why the DSL phone services in Mount Hope, WV are very fast is because they run on copper lines. In many ways, DSL is similar to a traditional phone service, but it's different because it offers greater convenience and speed. Once DSL service has been ordered, the customer will receive a special modem, which connects to telephone lines. After the modem has been installed, the customer can access the Internet and make phone calls. It's not uncommon for DSL providers to bundle phone and Internet services, and the cost of these services can be very affordable.
The main reason why consumers choose a DSL service in Mount Hope, WV is because they want a bundle that includes phone and Internet service. The DSL Internet service is significantly faster than dial-up, and it allows the customer to use the Internet while making phone calls. When compared with a traditional landline service, DSL offers several advantages.
Although DSL offers several great benefits, it can be unreliable. A customer must be close to the DSL service provider to get the best connection. If a customer is 18,000 feet away, he or she might not get any connection. Another downside of DSL is the issue of busy networks. Since the service uses telephone lines, it's possible for the network to become overwhelmed, which would render the DSL services almost useless.
Traditional home phone service, also known as landline service, has been around for a very long time. This system uses a series of underground wires to connect to a jack inside a customer's home in Mount Hope, WV. While traditional service was very popular for many years, many consumers are moving toward wireless phone connections and other alternative options.
The primary advantage of having traditional phone service in Mount Hope, WV is that it creates a clear, stable connection. Unfortunately, this connection comes with two major drawbacks. The biggest drawback is its immobility. Traditional phone service is not portable and cannot move with the customer to a store or their place of employment. The user must be home to make or receive calls on a landline. Also, traditional phone service can be far more expensive than other types of residential phone service. On average, landline service from a top provider starts at $49.99.
Today, many consumers are choosing wireless phone service because it offers a variety of features and benefits. One of the greatest advantages of going wireless is unmatched mobility. Consumers can use a wireless phone service to make calls from almost anywhere in the country. Cell phone services give consumers several options for payment plans, and the two major plans are prepaid and pay as you go. The prepaid service allows consumers to only pay for the minutes they use, and it's an excellent plan for people who don't make many calls. The other payment plan consists of monthly payments, and it can be a great choice for people who spend a lot of time talking on the phone. It's even a great choice for consumers who plan to use a lot of mobile data and access the Internet. Use the Wirefly cell phone plan comparison tool to compare cell phone plans in Mount Hope, WV and find the best plan in your area.
Many of the newest smartphones can be converted into a mobile hotspot, which broadcasts an Internet connection to family and friends. By choosing a wireless phone service in Mount Hope, WV, consumers can enjoy great flexibility while traveling. Wireless service is useful at home, but it can be even more convenient while traveling. The only downside of choosing to go wireless is the cost. A standard wireless plan can cost quite a bit more than the alternatives. However, it's usually the best option for people who're always using the Internet or talking on the phone. One of the potential downsides of wireless service is reliability, which isn't great in some areas. When searching for a home phone service in Mount Hope, WV, Wirefly makes it easy to compare many different service providers.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers.

This is a little fill in job that I'm taking to the show in November to see if they sell. They are measures for spaghetti for 1 to 4 servings. I used up some of the left over wood on my bench rather than throw it in the barrel. Three are mahogany and three are spalted beech. I put in a hang hole but if you think about it, they are full of holes. I can eliminate that on any more I make!!
They are finished with Behandla salad bowl finish.

Doug and Larry- here are the sizes: 13/16" , 1 3/16" , 1 3/8" , and 1 5/8". I copied one that was given to us from some people in Italy
That set of Forstner bits by 1/16's came in handy for this project.

I've obviously had a deprived education Jim, I wouldn't have guessed what they were if my life depended on it! That of course doesn't alter the fact they are beautifully made. Even my wife, who, unlike me, eats spaghetti didn't know.

A program evaluation of the character education program at a junior high school in Saint Louis County
Metadata[+] Show full item record
Starting with the Ancient Greeks, Pilgrims, Puritans and Quakers and now all school districts across the United States of America are faced with continually increasing challenges of developing students who are well-rounded human beings capable of making moral and ethical decisions in an ever-increasing immoral and unethical world (Lickona, 1996; Riley, 2001). The purpose of this program evaluation is to examine how association between student-to-student and student-to-teacher, which includes fighting and bullying, disrespect and insubordination, have been affected from the inception of a school-wide character education program to a national character education program recognition. A Pearson's Chi-square test of association was utilized because it is one of the most commonly used statistical approaches to repeated measures designs. The scope of the program evaluation involved a cohort of students in a junior high school in St. Louis County from the inception of a character education program to the National School of Character recognition three years later. Discipline referrals were collected involving aggression, including fighting and bullying, disrespect and insubordination to determine the effect the character education program was having on student-to-student and student-to-teacher relationships. The result of the findings is there was no significant association between these reported behaviors, indicating the variables are independent of each other. This program study indicates there is no significant limitation in the relationship involving discipline referrals from the inception of the character education to the national recognition. This leads to a conclusion that the national recognition may be less concerned about reduction in discipline referrals, and may put more weight on practice, procedures and policy.

Hong Kong is widely regarded as one of the international cities in the world and even claims to be "Asia's World City" turned out to be one of the city's most intolerant of different races and ethnicities.
The survey results were published in The Washington Post this points to the fact that 71.8 percent of Hong Kong residents do not want to live next door to a different race. In fact, the city was alive at least 450,000 people outside the ethnic majority, the Han.
The survey was conducted over the last five years with the respondent police recruits and high school students. Obtain survey results, most of the 1,860 respondents said they are less comfortable if you have a friend or neighbor of Africa, Nepal, the Philippines, India, and Pakistan.
"It's very embarrassing. You hope conditions improve, but it is very, very sad," said Executive Director of Unison, Fermi Wong.
Hong Kong is already trying to overcome the problem of racial discrimination since 2008. "Prior to this situation, the government has always said that Hong Kong is a harmonious society and all perception of discrimination is merely a misunderstanding," said Kelley Loper, a professor of law at the University of Hong Kong.
Most of the 300,000 domestic helpers working in Hong Kong comes from Indonesia and the Philippines.
Unlike other foreigners who can obtain permanent residency if've lived in Hong Kong for seven years, the domestic workers can not get the same rights. This issue is still being decided in court.
