Or tomorrow.
The point is, I think that you should REALLY plan to make the carnitas we talked about a few days ago. Then, with some other quick and easy additions, you can have a taco party that everyone will love so much because the carnitas ARE NOT GROUND BEEF and you'll be a celebrity!
If that's the sort of thing you're after.
You'll need to start the short ribs first, obviously. The night before would be preferable, but it's not mandatory.
Beyond that, I suggest adding your taco toppings of choice, some kind of slaw, and either red or green Mexican rice.
Homemade salsa and/or guacamole can act as appetizers AND part of the meal, and are so simple to make. You can of course buy them premade, but it's a nice touch if you have the time to make your own!
Then, you need beer. Beer just….works with tacos, doesn't it?
Have a carnitas party soon, friends. You won't regret it!
Recipes needed:
- Beef short rib carnitas
- Jalapeno Fennel Slaw
- Homemade Salsa
- Fresh Guacamole
- Mexican Red or Green Rice
Optional other ingredients:
- Mexican crumbling cheese
- Lime wedges
- Flour tortillas or taco shells
- Hot sauce
- Shredded lettuce
- Chopped tomatoes
- Chopped onions
- Pickled Jalapenos
- Fresh cilantro

There has been an outpouring of anger over last week's news that the dementia service operating out of Thomson Court day centre is to be moved 'in-home'.
The Buteman reported last week that the Integrated Joint Board of Argyll and Bute Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) plans to remove the day service at Thomson Court, replacing it with support at home or in the community instead.
The closure will also result in the loss of one senior care worker and two social care workers.
The decision has sparked outrage from island residents.
A demonstration was held outside Thomson Court on Wednesday morning with representatives from GMB Scotland, pupils from Apple Tree Nursery, local councillors, and concerned members of the public in attendance.
A petition is also being circulated in attempts to reverse the proposals.

Spokane SC Shadow are saddened to share the news that a member of our soccer family passed away this weekend in a tragic car accident in Canada that also took the life of two of his siblings. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the family and friends of Christian Adugna.
From Coach Aaron Blackmer: "Christian Adugna was an amazing little man, that I had the pleasure of knowing and coaching for far too brief of a moment. He as an awesome little guy who had a huge impact on everyone he came in contact with, and he will be missed immensely by everyone who met him. It was such an honor to have met and coached Christian. He was an amazing little man filled with such joy, humor and passion for life and the game of soccer. Rest in Peace little man."
Recently in Alberta, Canada the Adugna family was in a tragic car accident. Tragically, all three of their children died: Blen (16), Christian (11), and Emnet (11 months). Parents Solomon and Meseret were both hospitalized due to their injuries.
For those interested in helping with the immense financial burden of the transportation of the deceased from Canada to the United States, please write checks to St. Gregorios Orthodox Church, with a memo of "funeral fund". Donations are also being accepted via the Spokane Habesha Community website: http://www.habeshacommunityspokane.org/
At the request of extended family, the funeral for the children of Solomon and Meseret has been moved to Seattle. The time will be this Saturday, Aug. 26th at 9am. The place will be St. Gabriel's Ethiopian Orthodox Church, 949 Martin Luther King Jr. Way South, Seattle, WA. The burial will follow at 1pm.
There will be a memorial prayers service in Spokane on Wednesday, August 30, at St. Gregorios. The time will 7pm.

Cyber Round Up: DHS to Provide Direct Cyber Services; Promise and Peril of Active Cyber Defense; Cyber Operations Stealing from Drone playbook
DHS Might Provide Cyber Services Directly To Industry Under New Strategy (Nextgov): With a new DHS cyber strategy set to be released in the coming weeks, reports suggest that the agency could be taking on a new role in the cyber realm. DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen described the new system as "security as a service" and called it a "natural evolution." The article says that Nielsen would not elaborate on the details of the new strategy but that it was consistent with ones from the Obama administration. The full article can be read here.
The promise and peril of active cyber defense (The Hill): A recent opinion piece on The Hill discusses the shortcomings of current cyber strategy in the U.S. and suggests adopting active cyber defense policies. The article makes clear that the options for this extend well beyond hackbacks that are illegal under U.S. law. The options "can include everything from honeynets and beacons to botnet takedowns and sanctions." But the article also identifies the shortcomings of active cyber defense, including collateral damage to third parties. The full article and questions posed by the author can be read here.
- How Obama's drone playbook could influence future cyber operations (Fifth Domain): The Department of Defense is considering utilizing cyber operations in places where the U.S. is not already engaged in conflict, according to a recent article. Admiral Michael Rogers, head of U.S. Cyber Command, testified to Congress that the U.S. needs to adapt to better use its cyber capabilities "outside the designated areas of hostility." The article explores how this new cyber policy parallels what happened in the Obama administration with drone strikes. It also includes analysis from Bobby Chesney, who notes that cyber operations could inadvertently implicate a third nation's sovereignty. The full article can be read here.

Nikon suffered a 31% drop in global sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras in the three months to 30 June, according to figures released yesterday.
The firm blamed 'sluggish markets in Europe and Americas', though it added that cost cuts boosted profit margin over the same quarter last year.
Nikon sold 1.1 million interchangeable-lens cameras, compared to 1.59m a year earlier.
Sales of interchangeable lenses fell 28%, while demand for Nikon's fixed-lens compact cameras crashed 43%.
Earlier, we reported that worldwide shipments of compact system cameras jumped 12.8% in the first half of 2014, as DSLRs suffered a 22% decline.

does running builds the entire body abs, chest, legs, etc. etc.? just curious since my coach got a nice body he said running can do that, please enlighten me.

hi anon, in my experience running does give toned legs as it will engage your calves, hamstrings, glutes, and quad muscles. couldn't comment about the chest and midsection. like any sport, one has to include exercises such as crunches, pushups, etc. this will help prevent injury and a more stable running form. hope this helps =)

(July 5th)
Once, the room had been the seat of Adari power, from which the royal family of the greatest nation on Sayleen set policy, laid plans, and worked politics to keep hold of a power that had served them for a millenium or more. Now, Heran Kyall Varrn reflected, that time was past. He had taken control of the Adari warroom as a symbol, originally. The American-style portraits had been removed and replaced by proper Sayleen mosaics, depicting the families of the Varrn in traditional scenes. The American-style oak table had been burned and replaced with a much more somber kathor-wood one, just as large and able to handle more weight. The windows were as open as ever, shielded by the best artifice that a nation's money could buy and letting only slightly filtered light in, but the crests above them had been torn free, to be replaced by the symbols of the Varrn.
The American-style computers, Kyall had kept. There was symbolism, and there was practicality.
Now, looking over the displays the computers projected across the table, he thought back to the early days of the war and was amazed by his own naivete to have trusted Clockwork's projections for a moment. "That tree is an annoyance, no more. I have seen it in action, and it can only control so many drones at a time." The words floated up from the past, and Kyall fought back a snarl as the reports continued to roll in.
"Heavy fighting along the Julathi Penninsula." Reported one spotter, one ear to her headphones. "Our scouts are requesting permission to join forces with an Adari regiment caught in the bluffs."
"Granted." While Kyall watched the map, the generals of the Varrn alliance were doing the same. Grandmaster Jerathi Saal snapped out the words. "Blanket permission is granted wherever the enemy has appeared. Pass the word to all officers of rank Forcelord and above. We have to keep the enemy off the bluffs!"
"Warthread Y'Parn reports successful firebombing of the Paulin Reach. Estimated enemy casualties 341,209." Another spotter reported. Kyall caught his breath. His father had owned a summer home in the Paulin Reach. Unspoiled by the Chitrani invasion, it had been a beautiful expanse of blue trees and green sea. Now…
Now it had joined too much of his world. When Rex Mundi had revealed himself, his cybernetic corruption had spread into the Ash living on Sayleen, as well as the ninja trees of Earth. As near as the now-allied forces of Sayleen could determine, Ecchs had limited his orders to the Sayleen-bound zombie tree to harry both forces, winnowing them down in case Rex Mundi's dominion were to be extended to Sayleen next.
Ash had followed those orders with gusto. Over an eighth of Sayleen's plant life had already been destroyed, and bitter, heavy fighting surrounded every remaining forest and algae cluster. Ash had already spread to the point that he badly outnumbered the combined armies of the fifteen nations.
It was only a matter of time, now.
"At least one of your allies is proving useful." Grandmaster Saal sniped at Kyall.
Kyall took the jibe without anger. "Yes." He agreed with both the spoken and unspoken statements. "The Yocanu have fought bravely, especially given that this world is not theirs. I will remember that." The Oligarchs, on the other hand… failures. Wastes. To have trusted them in the first place, allowed them to bring this horror to his world…
"Not much chance." Saal shook his head. "It's a matter of time, now, my lord. I would like to suggest again that we contact Rex Mundi and discuss his terms. If we…"
"We can't." Kyall said simply. The room fell silent, orders momentarily forgotten, as everyone turned to look at him. "Our only method of communication with Earth is the psibeacon."
"But… he must answer a hail. Our people are dying!" Saal said in disbelief. "He has won, all that he has to do is accept our surrender!"
"Our surrender?" Kyall turned on him, lashed out. Saal took the blow stoically. "Do you think he cares? Rex Mundi doesn't care about human lives. What are Sayleen lives to him? If he comes to this world to find it a barren, desolate wasteland, our species extinct and his gods-cursed zombies the only thing still moving, do you think that he will feel remorse? Guilt?" He spat on the floor. "He will feel nothing."
"Then what do we do?" One soldier asked quietly.
Kyall looked around, and only barely managed to restrain a wince. He had not meant to speak so bluntly. Now stories would spread that the cause was doomed, and he couldn't have that. The only thing to do was to reveal his one hope, and pray that Ash could not disrupt it. "We do the only thing that we can. We counter-attack."
The room was silent. He had everyone's attention. "Our scientists have been working on the captured psi-beacons day and night since we captured them. Rex Mundi has prevented us from connecting to Atlantis, but Earth still has one psicrystal nexus open." He smiled slowly. "His."
"I hadn't heard of this." Saal said slowly.
Kyall shrugged. "As it stands, Mundi is still blocking us. But we're making progress, rapidly. If anything disrupts his control, even for a moment, we will be able to start sending troops directly into his base. We will find the codes to control his beast, and turn it to our side. We will take possession of the device with which he thinks to own the universe, and we will use it for the glory of the Sayleen." His eyes burned with passion. "We will force the humans off of our world, and we will rebuild every last tree and blade of grass that this.. this monster has taken from us. Rex Mundi thinks that we are unimportant, that we aren't worth thinking about until his real problems have been resolved." His smile widened, and he raised a fist. "We will show him just how much of a mistake he has made!"
The cheers were reflexive, but the soldiers were reassured. Even Saal, who must recognize the difficulty of what Kyall proposed, looked glad to have an objective. Kyall reflected that perhaps it was good that he had snapped. The troops' morale was clearly poor. They needed a goal.
And soon, Rex Mundi would learn the folly of having left Sayleen alone for so long.

You slipped away on a Monday night in September.
Tim was there at the hospital, in tears. He later screamed in his car until his voice was coarse.
Simultaneously, I was at home, weeping and holding Audrey on my hip. "Why, God, why?"
Six-year-old Kayla walked up and put her arm around my waist, "It's okay, mama. That's just how life is." A wee girl comforting her mama.
But I could not let go – of your sincere and unassuming smile, our Costco trips where you always always bought us baby wipes and ordered pizza, the way you stocked up on chocolate covered raisins and water bottles, your unceasing curiosity about astronomy.
You told us facts about the moon and the sun and insisted on ice cream at every visit.
All three girls begged to go to your house – a place of toys and a candy drawer and unconditional love. Oh, how you adored them – calling them beautiful and smart, blessing them with your presence. You never once told us "no" when we asked to come over so we were there often. Because you wanted it (and we wanted it too).
When I published my first ebook, you bought five copies. FIVE. And you didn't even know what an ebook was. Every single time I appeared on the news, you watched and you called all of your sisters to tell them to tune in. A proud grandfather. You took me as your own.
Kayla's tears join mine, "He was always my favorite grandpa. He was always so nice to me. I loved him so much." She pauses, frightened, "When I start getting older, I bet I'm not going to remember him very much. I can hardly remember what his face looks like." That fear jerks at my heart too. I know it. I tug her in close.
"Someone has to take care of his garden," she says resolutely.
The memories hover over us. Tim at age 5, chomping on cherries and ice cubes on his way to California, side-by-side with you. Newly married, living at your house, eating fresh grapefruit from your trees. Watching you hold our three newborn babes in your arms.
"How can I go on without my grandpa?" Tim asks me the afternoon after, "He always said he'd live to be 100. I was counting on that." The loss burns our throats.
In anguish, I realize I didn't get even one picture of you holding our youngest. Not even one. Though you bounced her on your knee and delighted in her.
The night you left us, I sang hymns to the girls until they fell asleep on the twin bed they share. "Come Thou Fount" and "Amazing Grace" and "Take My Life and Let It Be." The words escaped my lips and filled the room, my hands upturned in surrender to a God who is still good.
In loving memory of Grandpa Sheaffer. I will never, ever forget you.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to seek clarification of another matter. In an earlier answer, the minister indicated that he would not sign off at the moment on any further sponsorship deals. However, the previous minister indicated to the House that he did not sign off on sponsorship deals; they were awarded through a standing offer list.
I would like to seek clarification. Is the minister saying simply that he will not sign off on any more deals or is he in fact freezing all new sponsorship contracts?

In the ongoing pursuit of worldwide dance fusion and music culture, Photographer Nicola Dracoulis teamed up with dancer Yassmin Foster for a Rio meets London skank (dance) experiment.
Yassmin and Nicola met in 2007, while working with the AfroReggae inspired Favela to the World project, that introduced young people in East London to the experience of Brazilian live communal drumming. Nicola and Yassmin discovered they share a love of the energy of new music and dance that is constantly evolving without restriction of established rules. Both were interested in investigating current trends to engage and inspire young people across different cultures in learning about each other. For their first piece of work together they wanted to bring young people in Hackney that they had come to know and love, a project they could truly relate to.
The Corcovado uses music, video and participatory dance to immerse the audience in the world of a diasporic youth culture.
Inspired by the big trend of 'funky house skanking' that was blowing up on the young UK scene in 2009, Yassmin and Nicola embarked on an adventure. With a passion for street culture, in particular street based dance, they decided to collaborate on producing a documentary style music video, highlighting similarities and differences by way of youth cultural exchange.
As Feijão com Arroz, the pair travelled between London and Rio, facilitating an exchange of dance movement between young people in both cities and committing the process to film.
For the music, Kye Scarlett aka Menny, a young upcoming producer from Limitlus Productions was brought in to create a track under the creative direction of Yassmin and Nicola who were looking for a funky house style track that infused an edge of the Afro-Brazilian sound.
At the end of the process, 16 young people came together in London to learn the new choreography and perform for a new dance film/music video/documentary: The Corcovado. The film can be seen below.

The body knows
The past few days have been rough. I couldn't put my finger on it but something just wasn't right. I spent Thursday in bed with a headache that I chalked up to physical and emotional stress and stress eating. Today I woke up feeling better but still, something just wasn't right. The body knows well before the mind catches on. 11 years ago today, my grandmother Toby passed away after a few days of fading fast, losing her cognitive abilities to the brain cancer that doctors attempted removing a month and a half prior to us watching this speedy decline happen right before our eyes. I didn't know at the time but my grandmother's body was deteriorating from the inside out at 57, first bladder cancer then lung cancer, and finally brain cancer. My grandmother led a life of dignity, and never let her aches or her pains both emotionally nor physically get in her way of having a pleasant day and sharing it with the people she loved and cared for daily at her kitchen table. When she did mention her MS, she was shot down and noses were turned up in disbelief that anything was "wrong with her" despite her clunky metal forest hump style leg braces at 50 and missing toes from a lawnmower accident. Mhmm. To this day, I've had conversations recently with family members who denied her credibility. During my healing journey with Lyme, when I was in the thick of it, I asked for my grandmother's guidance and protection and a new relationship developed, or our on-going relationship changed. She became my guide when I asked for and accepted her help. She's always been there, but I invited her and gave her permission, and that's different. I'm not sure but I think that's how it works. This spring, when things were heating up for me, I had a shamanic healing session with a shamanic herbalist on Nantucket and I channeled my grandmother. She was annoyed and seemingly angry at first, clenching her jaw and pressing her lips, arms folded across her chest blocking her heart, and I asked her why she was angry. She said no one listens. I put my hand on her and I let her know I will always listen and she softened with a smile and said three potent words to me, "I believe you" — Anyone that has suffered from MS, Lyme, or any other chronic illness or autoimmune disease knows how life affirming it is when you connect with a person who looks into your eyes and says those three simple words to you. My grandmother didn't know it at the time, and her doctors didn't know it at the time, and no one knew it at the time, but her diet and her lifestyle of stuffing her emotions into her classic coach bag with a credit card receipt or on a list she kept on a yellow legal pad where she did her daily writing, scheduling, shopping lists, recording of phone calls and rude things people said, you know, normal things to write about for no one to see, just left on her kitchen table, and there it was left, for no one to see, and it was actually killing her. The kidneys are part of the filtration system of the body. She drank coffee. I never saw her drink water in my life. Also, she never gave herself time to process her emotions. I didn't know what significance this day or the past few days had emotionally, but physically, my body has memory of breaking down on August 22-23, for the last 11 years. Bringing awareness to it changes the energy automatically and now I have something to work with. More processing of my grief over her passing, even 11 years later. How? By setting aside time to think about it, scheduling a half hour where I will sit and meditate and think of only this, and allow myself to feel whatever comes up. When the half hour is up, my time for grief is finished for the day, and I will move on, starting with something light like dancing to upbeat music to get my energy flowing back up as opposed to low and heavy. My grandmother held onto her grief from a life of disappointments and tragedies. The lungs are associated with grief. Cigarette smoke stained her grief filled lungs as she inhaled the smoke to stuff down her feelings, and then when it was too hard to bear it all emotionally, the cancer spread to her brain, and took over. Her diet fed all of the autoimmune symptoms in her body and the dis-ease where stagnancy developed into cancer. It was so painful that I had to figure it out. I didn't realize it at the time, but I started my actual healing work then and there with my own curiosity and need to know why everything. I thank her for her intensity, her wisdom, her matriarchal dignity, her model of a successful businesswoman, her vicious side eye, her laugh, her hugs and the weird and gross way that she loved making the wa-wa-wa-wa sound while nibbling on your chin - ugh, gross, (still gives me the chills, the kind that makes my eyes bulge and my lips go flat and I make a fire marshall bill face and neck) the way she watched ballerinas dance, lace and flower prints, old lady things, her tchotchkes, hippie dungaree mismatching outfits and the ultimate, the matching hanes sweatsuits. Jesus. (Shaking my head) Can I say Jesus about my Jewish grandmother? She was, in my eyes, at her time of death, super woman. So what the fuck! I never ever ever thought I'd ever see the day she'd die, but I did. And it was really hard. And now I'm 35, and a few other people who are very dear to me have also died and passed on, and that was really hard too. I'm feeling feelings today, and giving myself this time to write and process and to share, because it's not just my story or her story. The best thing I can do for me, for her, for everyone, is to share. It's surprisingly powerful to have had the shamanic experience of seeing my grandmother in my meditative state as the adult I am now, 11 years after she's passed. She was so warm. and so proud. and I am so grateful to have that new memory, and that peaceful feeling to revisit whenever I sit quietly. Relationships don't end when people pass on, they absolutely 100% just change.
Also, tonight, for the first time, I met a woman named Toby, and she told me all her mail is addressed to Mr. Toby (insert Jewish last name too). We laughed, and I thanked her, and realized that chance meeting was a nudge to dive in.

Good Evening, I am the Colonel. Everyone refers to me as the Colonel and that's the way I like it. I am a member of the British Legion and I do my bit for them and all those who have served. I live alone at the end of the village. Samantha cleans for me and my shopping is delivered. My days are filled, solving crossword puzzles and keeping up to date with world events from the newspapers I collect each morning from the Post Office. I also like to peruse the ones at the pub, early evening. Gwen ensures my favourite arm chair is ready. My papers are folded correctly and my malt whiskey with one cube of ice is by my chair when I arrive. People often ask my advice and opinion on domestic and world issues. I am precise, like order and I always like to have the last word!
Good evening, everybody, and welcome to Littlewich. My name is Gwen and I run the village pub – The Pillar of Salt. Yes, there used to be two of us, but my partner – ex-partner – Chris, couldn't take the pace of village life and decided he'd rather be back in the city. So you're stuck with just me, I'm afraid. I get lonely sometimes, of course I do, but seems like there's always somebody around to cheer me up, if you know what I mean?
They're a strange bunch these villagers. Old Littlewich and New Littlewich – what's that all about then? There are people who seem like they've been here forever and can probably trace their ancestry through this village – and new families moved in to liven things up. Everybody wants different things and some of them don't care how they get them. And it all happens in this pub, you know? I bet this old place has seen a few christenings, marriages and wakes in its time.
Hi I'm Barry, I don't live in the village – but seem to spend most of my time here, one way or another. Me and my mates seem to have attracted some nicknames – some of which are deserved. I'm Bazza to my mates – or Barry the Bins if you're being formal! Surprise, surprise I'm on the bin round and I tell you – there is some interesting stuff thrown out it this village. I could tell you some tales when I see you in the pub. People think out of sight, out of mind – not the case – I see it all, and if Freddie Fingers sees it – he nicks it all, don't you Freddie!!
Hey do one Bazza – it's not like you haven't passed me stuff to sell on! Freddie's the name, Littlewich born and bred – I know everyone – and I may be related to a few. I'm your original recycler – if you chuck it – I'll save it from landfill and er….re-purpose it – usually for a profit. I do odd jobs to, look after the church grounds – that sort of thing. Oh yes, I'm pretty useful to know – and I have my reasons for keeping an eye on young Beth and her Grandma. I live next door to Mary and Jeff - but if I'm not at the pub, my favorite haunt is Joe's tug boat.
Sod off yer bloody 'tug boat' – it's a narrow boat you heathen! Show some respect or the next time you want to come aboard you'll end up in the canal. I'm Joe and I'm not from round here – but I pass though about once a fortnight. My main trade is coal an' I have a low cost supply chain (well free actually if I'm passing the chandlers at the right time). I have varied wares for sale - bit of booze, some items may be a little on the warm side, but I do offer some good quality 'herbs' if you know what I mean. Don't cross me – you've been warned.

I found this Time Caster Switching Description in my pile of Time stuff.
As you can see. The two pickup selector switches allow more choices than a standard 5-position strat switch.

Both poems with severe apologies to Joyce Kilmer
(but we still think that this guy owes her a greater apology)
with apologies to Joyce Kilmer
I think that I shall never see,
a food that doesn't agree with me.
I whose hungry mouth is pressed
against the pie with lemon zest;
I who looks at food all day,
and lifts my heavy arms that sway;
I who may in summer wear
a net of chocolate in her hair;
Upon whose bosom crumbs have lain;
who hates to have her bagels plain.
I think that I shall never see,
my feet somewhere below my knees.

Turds: On Barely Avoiding One in the Grass
I think I've not seen flower nor bird
which moved me as did that fine turd.
A turd in hue of brown and tan,
it coiled in grass where my dog ran.
Its grandeur suggested that of Alsatian,
a Labradoodle, or Dalmatian.
I chanced to see it, as down I glanced,
and breathed a thank-you as back I danced.
For had I walked without a care,
I'd not have seen it lying there.
The gloom that did downcast my eyes
revealed to me that shrine of flies.
My spirits then were so upraised,
I wrote this verse to this thing's praise:
This universe was made by God, I've heard,
but anyone can make a turd.

That was the inspiration for this lunch. So she has peanut butter sandwiches decorated with Wilton icing writers and a candy eye. She has string cheese, grapes, freeze dried peaches and one of the gummy fish.

Olympic silver medallist Gemma Gibbons wishes she could go back in time and restart her World Judo Championship campaign after losing in the second round in Rio.
Gibbons, who won Olympic -78kg silver at London 2012 last summer, was bidding for world glory in the same category in the city where the next Games will be held.
Gibbons got off to a positive start in Brazil beating Anar Seitimova of Kazakhstan by waza-ari and yuko in the first round but then met her match in Viktoriia Turks.
The Ukrainian lost their last match at the Moscow Grand Slam, where Gibbons went on to win bronze, but history didn't repeat itself in round two at the World Championships.
Turks caught her and held her down for ippon while fellow Brit Natalie Powell, also fighting in the -78kg category, lost by the same method to Anamari Velensek of Slovenia in round one.
Both will now quickly turn their attentions to the Rijeka Grand Prix in Croatia from September 14-15 but still Gibbons' disappointment at her world outing was clear.
"I'm gutted. I could have been world champion, but I'm not. "I just got caught by Turks and it ended my championships," said Gibbons.
"I wish I could restart the day but that's not how judo works. Now my focus is on the next Grand Prix in Croatia and the Grand Slam events coming up."
Britain now face the possibility of leaving Rio without a medal just over a year after winning two at London 2012, Gibbons' silver and bronze from the now retired Karina Bryant.
Sally Conway was due to fight on the same day as Gibbons and Powell in the -70kg but withdrew the night before due to a hip injury with Sarah Adlington and Philip Awiti-Alcaraz the last Brits up.

Do you know a great Dad who also happens to be a hard-working trucker? One thing that makes truckers so special is their ability to always be prepared. They seem to have a tool, accessory, or gadget for everything, but that makes finding a meaningful Father's Day gift a real challenge.
So what can you get for the truck driving Dad this Father's Day? Take a look at these four excellent gifts, plus a bonus idea to get you started.
Father's Day Gifts for Truck Driving Dads
Picture of the Kids and Family
Nothing is better for reminding the long-hauling father why he works so hard. A picture of the people who call him "Dad" makes a perfect gift to keep him going through the seemingly-endless miles of highway. If you can, find something that he can easily mount in his truck so that he has something that will always put a smile on his face.
A Truck Driver Tee Shirt or Sweatshirt
There are plenty of shirts and clothing options available for the truck driver in your life, and some will be perfect for the proud truck driver. Let your trucking father show his pride and tell the world that he is one of the hard-working, long haul truckers who make this country tick.
A Gift Card from a National Chain
The good thing about national retail stores and restaurants is they have locations all over the country. No matter where his truck driving job takes your Dad, he should be able to use a gift card to purchase a hot meal, buy some needed tools, or pick up some clothing. There are plenty of national chains that would make good ideas, including Wal-Mart, Perkins, Subway, 7-Eleven, Target, and more.
A New Truck Mattress
Nothing beats a good night's rest, especially for truckers who need to be rejuvenated and alert. You can help your Dad get the sleep he needs for his over the road trucking job with a comfortable new bunk mattress. There are plenty of options ranging from firm to soft, along with a wide price range to fit your budget.
Bonus: Wash the Truck for Him
Sometimes an action is better than an item. It's only a matter of time until your truck driving Dad has to leave again, so he might as well leave with a clean, sparkling semi truck. Give his rig a thorough cleaning this Father's Day to really show him how much you appreciate all of his work.
Trucking Jobs are Waiting
There are excellent trucking companies in need of truck drivers right now. Pass on the word to your Dad to visit CDLjobs.com and take a look at our Classified section to find the best position for his skills and experience.
Find the best driving position that will fit your family's needs; stop by and start the next chapter in your trucking career.

I designed an 18" square mini of Claptrap, the mascot of the series. High five, guys!
I'm not sure how many quilters are also BL2 fans, but I thought I'd go ahead and share the pattern with you guys as a freebie.
I'm planning on adding an embroidered speech bubble to mine before I quilt it. Claptrap has so many hilarious quotes. It'll be tough to choose one!

Cactus Table
Come to the table……. nature's table.
You have probably seen driftwood tables, tree trunk tables but have you ever seen a
cactus table?
I had to travel some of the most remote and fertile regions of Central and South America to find these unique, organic table bases. I never knew that the cactus tree could be not only so large and but also EXTREMELY interesting.
What caught my eye was the bleached blonde color, unusual branch formations and quite frankly
all the holes …. just image these tables being lit from within!!
Next week I will introduce you to an artist who sculpts home decor accessories out of the most unique materials. It is truly fascinating to see what can be made from 2 million year old dinosaurs bones, mammoth tusks, rare gemstone slabs and other exotic materials!
"Each decade has a way of expressing itself. This is the decade of authentic, one-of-kind style."

Identifying RFID Project Leaders
Advocates for the technology come from many different areas within a company and hold a wide variety of titles.
Sep 19, 2016—
Our salespeople are often asked for information regarding the titles of our readers. It's a common question all publishers receive, and it makes sense when selling a mature technology. If your company sells, say, storage devices, then you want to reach the most senior person at a firm's IT department to tell him or her why your storage devices are better, less expensive or whatever than your competition's. Alas, this doesn't work with new technologies, such as radio frequency identification.
First, if you target a senior person in the IT department, that individual is almost certainly going to reject RFID out of hand, unless his or her CEO has decided RFID is the right thing to do. That's because RFID doesn't benefit IT in any way and it adds work—more boxes on the network to manage, more data to analyze and filter, and more applications to develop. And if things go wrong, it's the IT executive's fault.
Titles are irrelevant. In some companies, such as Macy's, the VP of logistics is leading the effort. At Marks & Spencer, the head of packaging used to run the RFID project (an RFID leader now handles that task). And at Walmart, RFID was driven by the CIO. So that's three retailers with three different functional areas leading their RFID efforts.
At our RFID in Health Care event in 2014, we had as a speaker David Rutherford, the nurse manager at Riverside Methodist Hospital. How many salespeople asking about titles are focused on nurse managers? Answer: none. But that was the right person at that hospital to contact.
So how do you sell RFID if you can't target by company and title? You focus on the people who "get" RFID and who believe it is the answer to an issue affecting their company's performance. The only way to find people like Carlo Nizam, a talented supply chain executive who understood the value of RFID and pushed it within Airbus (see RFID Special Achievement Award: The Man Who Gave RFID Flight in Aerospace), is to focus on those actively researching solutions.
If someone is not actively researching RFID solutions, it is very difficult to convince that person to buy one, since the technology is not an improved version of what he or she already uses—it's a new technology that brings business-process changes and risk. And even if you manage to convince someone you met at a manufacturing conference to use RFID, you'll also have to convince his boss and his boss's boss. It only takes one person within an organization to say "no" for a project to be killed.
If you do find a person who "gets" RFID in an organization, you'll then have an advocate within that company who will help sell RFID internally. Even if that person is not high up in the management ranks, he or she understands the problems that RFID can solve and will have credibility internally to push for pilot funding. A project still might be killed as the request for funding goes up the chain of command, but you'll have a much better shot if you have an advocate inside the company pushing for RFID.
I receive emails from people with a variety of titles all the time. They are passionate about using RFID to solve their problems and want to know who they can work with. It's too bad that solution providers are often looking for those with higher titles.

The exotic food, rich culture, and beautiful landscape of Asia enticed you to vacation there. However, misfortune comes upon you suddenly as an infamous terrorist organization ambushes your tour group and takes you as prisoners to their compound. Escape as quickly as possible before you find yourself at the mercy of their ruthlessness.
*A chaperone must accompany participants under the age of 16 years.
We recommend Prison break for those who are looking for a "classic" escape room. Great for a variety of ages, it will challenge you to think creatively and logically. You will need at least 2 people to escape successfully (wink).

Further strong concerns were also expressed tat security would be compromised.
The Parish Council refused the application based on these grounds.

Globalization, Convergence and the Principles that Guide the Accountancy Profession
Fermí n del Valle | President, International Federation of Accountants
Jul 21, 2008 | Istanbul, Turkey | English
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I am honored to participate in the 12th World Congress of Accounting Historians here in Turkey. I am pleased to be back in Istanbul, which I had the pleasure of visiting in November 2006 for the 16th World Congress of Accountants. This city is the perfect location for a global discussion centering on history and business, as this is a place where civilization and commerce have some of their deepest roots.
I would like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Oktay Güvemli for inviting me to speak to you today.
As many of you are aware, IFAC is the global organization for the accountancy profession and is comprised of 157 members and associates in 123 countries and jurisdictions, representing more than 2.5 million accountants in public practice, industry, commerce, education, and government.
While IFAC itself is very young - we celebrated our 30th anniversary last year - the history of the accountancy profession stretches back centuries. The military museum where we are meeting is featuring a special exhibition on accounting from the Ottoman Empire, including documents on the Merdiban, or Stairs, method of accounting that was used as the state accounting system in the Middle East for more than 1,000 years.
The tradition of a deeply committed accountancy profession in this country continues today. I would like to acknowledge IFAC's two member bodies here in Turkey: the Expert Accountants' Association of Turkey and the Union of Chambers of Certified Public Accountants of Turkey. In addition, I would like to recognize and thank the two Turkish members who currently serve as IFAC volunteers: Omer Duman who is a member of the International Public Sector Accounting Standards Board, and Masum Turker who is a member of the Small and Medium Practices Committee.

Since 1987, no new class of human antibiotics have come on to the market. Our new class of antibiotic has been synthesised using a unique and economic method of manufacture. Unlike current antibiotics, which rely on a specific 'lock and key fit' between the antibiotic and the bacteria causing the disease, our antibiotics have been designed to overcome this shortfall, starting at the process of our patented antibiotic synthesis.
How our unique antibiotics targets superbugs
RECCE® 327 non-specifically attacks protein in the outer wall of bacteria. Their unique pressure within causes them to burst and lose viability. The protein may mutate as in a superbug; however, as it is still protein, as usual, the RECCE® antibiotics still attack it. Whether it is the normal or superbug form of the bacteria, RECCE® antibiotics still kills it. Application of RECCE® 327 initially weakens the cell walls of the bacteria and almost immediately, the cell wall begins to collapse or burst, resulting in bacterial cell death.
Electron microscope images generated by Dr Peta Clode and Lyn Kirilak of the Centre for Microscopy, Characterisation and Analysis, University of Western Australia, demonstrate RECCE® 327's unique mechanism of action.

Agoda is at the moment a single of the most well-liked on the web hotel booking website in the world, especially in Asia. If our family / close friends want to book hotels in Agoda but they don't have Agoda members, we can book it for them making use of our account and we will get the points. Hotel Transylvania tends to make a ideal birthday party theme as well as excellent Halloween celebration for the kids! Our initial location was Red beach, which was close to the hotel and was marvelous. The principal benefit of staying at a Very good Neighbor Hotel is the good quality of the hotel and close proximity to the Disneyland resort. You will never ever know and its doubts like that which make bringing your personal travel kettle for hotel stays all the far more attractive.
You are going to absolutely want to sign up for a rewards program with your favorite hotel prior to the start of the trip. On December 20 1970, although guests celebrated the holidays, a fire started in the Pioneer Hotel in downtown Tucson. Lo and behold, I not only located out great data about the hotel, but could indirectly associate the pitcher with Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey…who each lived at the hotel and often dined with each other. Even if you decide on to remain someplace else, you can nonetheless discover excellent bundled bargains online for discount tickets, specially if you develop a complete package with airline tickets, a rental auto, and a hotel reservation.
And when she arrived at the hotel in the middle of the evening, the hotel did not have her booking. I drove from Tampa to Las Vegas in 2003 and located avery nice motel about one hundred miles east of N.M. It was I think a motel 6 or eight. The cost was under 70.00 and I was surprised how good it was! If you are buying it for the goal of reselling and generating a profit, you have to be a lot far more cautious about what you buy and the cost you spend for it. Here are a few tips for purchasing to resell hotel silver.
There are ferry services to Las Islas Cies operating from Baiona, Vigo or Cangas and will get you to the archipelago in about 40 minutes. Just handful of methods from Kamari's popular black beach, Oscar Hotel delivers spacious rooms, friendly service and a fantastic pool and garden. The standard hotel remotes won't let you do this so you will need to have to have universal remote (I know, you are almost certainly reading this from your hotel room and want some other way to do this without having acquiring one thing but you require some way to hit enter and the remote in your space will not work.
If you stay at a Excellent Neighbor Hotel then you will most likely be within walking distance to the Disneyland resort. Just asking yourself if any person out there is intelligent adequate and as nerdy as me to figure out when is the optimum time to purchase a hotel. Large Sur is the coastline of California just north of Santa Barbara running north all the way to Monterey, CA. Starting near Hearst Castle, this beautiful winding scenic ride along the Pacific Coast Highway will take a full tank of gas, but is well worth the trip.

The underwater caves and mangrove forests of Belize. The breathtaking lakes and waterfalls of Nicaragua. The rainforest canopy trails through Honduras. You don't have to go far off the beaten track in Central America to find yourself on an adventure. Peppered with ancient sites, this was once the land of the Maya. Scale their stone temples that rise up from Central America's landscapes and you'll find yourself stepping back in time.
Central America does safari like nowhere else. Ready your camera in Costa Rica and Honduras where macaws, toucans and brightly coloured frogs peek out from trees. A picture of the elusive jaguar is particularly prized. Swap rainforest for the ocean bordering Nicaragua and you could spot humpback whales. In Belize you can really get up close and personal to the wildlife – with the help of a snorkel. It's home to the second largest barrier reef on the planet.
With its white sands backed by emerald forest, Nicaragua feels like one of Central America's best-kept beach secrets. Relax the days away, or surf and kayak your way along the shores. In Costa Rica, the coastline isn't just for sun worshipping and snorkelling. Here leatherback turtles come to nest, and you can learn about them on a wildlife tour. If you're not staying near a beach, you're rarely far from a breathtaking waterfall in Central American forests.

Let's look at the first of four scientific studies of near death experiences that provide crucial light, and significant, verifiable evidence on the survival of human consciousness after clinical death.
- Dr. Sam Parnia et al. (2014) (below)
- Dr. Pim van Lommel et al (2001)
- Dr. Kenneth Ring et al (2006)
- Dr. Janice Holden (2007)
There are many other careful studies that corroborate and extend their findings not explicitly discussed in this article, but are important for readers interested in more extensive research. The following studies are fully cited in the References to this book: Basford 1990, Fenwick & Fenwick 1995, Greyson & Flynn 1984, Roberts & Owen 1988, Sabom 1982, and Zaleski 1987.
Dr. Bruce Greyson and Dr. Emily Kelly have made longitudinal studies of near death phenomena (with control groups) at the University of Virginia's Division of Perceptual Studies (in the Department of Psychiatry in the School of Medicine) which is partially dedicated to the scientific study of near death experiences.
The Parnia-Southampton University Study (2014)
In 2014, scientists under the direction of Dr. Sam Parnia at Southampton University completed the largest scientific study of near death experiences.
It was a 4-year study of 2,060 patients who had suffered cardiac arrest in hospitals in the U.S., U.K., and Austria. The researchers found that 9% of the survivors (185 patients) had a near death experience, though many more—an additional 30% (618 patients) had some sense of postmortem consciousness and feelings which did not meet the full description of an NDE (see above, Section l).
Some of the patients (who had an NDE) maintained visual awareness for up to three minutes after cardiac arrest – long after the brain shuts down (occurring 20-30 seconds after cardiac arrest).
This study advanced those of van Lommel, Ring, and Holden by taking account of experiential markers showing how long patients maintain awareness after clinical death (after electrical activity in the brain is almost completely absent).
For example, a patient reported hearing two "bleeps" from a machine that sounds in 3-minute intervals, revealing that he maintained awareness for more than three minutes after cardiac arrest.
This patient was not only aware of sounds in the room, but was also able to accurately report with heightened visual acuity what was going on in the operating room. The events reported were verified by researchers after resuscitation.
In our next post we will discuss the second of the four studies — the van Lommel et al Study — and its significant contributions to the topic of near-death experiences.

Ever since my last post about my weight loss process "A course in weight loss: a confession and an invitation" where I described my inability to lose weight and fit into the dress I had bought for my daughter's wedding, I have released 6 pounds and I'm feeling really good about it, as I finally fit into the dress. No sense of deprivation here, just becoming more conscious about what I eat, even within the parameters of an "impeccable," mostly raw plant-based diet.
The results are really due to a change in consciousness prompted by the exercises I have been doing daily from Marianne Williamson's book A Course in Weight Loss: 21 Spiritual Principles for Surrendering Your Weight Forever.
By means of that daily practice I was pushed to really look into myself and those places I was not addressing honestly. And as I did, and cleansed those parts of myself that were resisting change, I started to pay attention to resources that were right in front of my nose. For example, several months ago I had bought Alejandro Junger's book Clean: The Revolutionary Program to Restore the Body's Natural Ability to Heal Itself, (reviewed in a previous post "Are you 'inflamed'?"), but had not had the time to look at it. It had been patiently waiting on my table for me to open it, and during this time of releasing resistances, it popped right in front my consciousness for me to read it. When I did, I decided to follow meticulously the "elimination diet" it proposes (see my previous post for a list of the most common allergenic and inflammation producing foods), I tweaked other aspects of my diet, and the pounds started to drop. Amazing!
As a health coach, my approach to weight loss or the jump-starting of a healthy way of eating is usually to invite my clients to start "crowding out" the unhealthy choices with nutrient-dense foods, mainly in the form of green veggie juices, smoothies and raw soups. I have found that many of my clients make astounding changes in their health by just adding these delicious drinks to their diets. (For recipes, please go here). As their bodies start receiving their quota of intelligent nutrients, their cellular memory wakes up after a slumber induced by chemicalized, processed food and other addictive substances and the cravings shift towards the fuel meant to make our bodies operate in an optimal fashion. Slowly but surely, cravings for non-supportive choices start melting away, as the body begins to crave natural, whole, clean foods.
I will be sharing this experience and offering personalized recommendations in my next program: A Course in Weight Loss: A Phone Group Coaching Program, a series of 8 phone sessions starting August 21, that will look deeply into the personal roots of excess weight and other body issues by following the principles presented in Marianne Williamson's book. This phone group coaching program will support participants in developing a healthy relationship with their body that is honoring and respectful of its sacredness. For more information, please go here.

Are you a manufacturing or operations focused business? Sales and Operations Planning can help you consistently achieve your optimum level of output.
To The Point Sales and Operations Planning provides a monthly business management process around a single, integrated business plan. Instead of fragmented, individual plans for the different functions of your business, your leadership team will be able to plan and overview the entire business, and make sure it functions well as a cohesive unit.
What is Sales and Operations Planning?
S&OP is an iterative business management process that brings key-stakeholders together around a single focus and goal.
Without properly managing your supply and demand, you will not be able to plan for, or manage, your ideal output. S&OP helps leadership reach a consensus on how to best manage resources monthly, which ensures that changes in the market or your business are taken into account and planned for.
Properly implemented, a S&OP process will continually review customer demand and supply resources, and "re-plan" (for future actions and anticipated results) according to an agreed moving timeline.
By understanding changes from the previously agreed sales and operations plan, management will understand how the company achieved its current level of performance. This is crucial in keeping an aligned primary focus.
What are the benefits of To The Point Sales and Operations Planning?
- Generate a single, agreed view across all departments.
- Provide a monthly update to the financial forecast for the business.
- Allow the relevant departments to generate action plans to address any issues identified: ie. resource increases or decreases, and any investment needs.
- Have a clear understanding of the causes of any shortcomings, and stimulate intelligent debate.
- The process allows for early 'gap identification', and for action planning, discussion and review.
- Grow the top line of the business while reducing operating costs and inventory required.
- Planning assumptions that are aligned across the organisation.
The effective use of Sales and Operations Planning, or S&OP, can have a significant positive impact on a business. Sometimes the biggest benefits aren't obvious at first, but in the long-term add the most value.
Any manufacturing or operations organisation should consider the approach, and "To The Point" can help you to understand the potential hidden benefits. We will ensure the process is designed to optimise these benefits for your organisation.
