October Photo Challenge Day 24: HOODIEPosted: October 24, 2017 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: #octoberphotochallenge, Autumn, Dogs, Fall, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, Hoodie, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, October Photo Challenge, Pet Photography, Pets, Scarecrow, Thek9harperlee 11 Comments
It's the day I've been dreading since I first saw the October Photo Challenge list: HOODIE. I don't mind wearing a stylish bandana. In fact, I quite like a stylish bandana. But I am not . . . repeat AM NOT . . . a fan of wearing actual clothes. And I do not . . . repeat DO NOT . . . like to have things on my head. My personal photographer (who also happens to be my human mommy and who also happens to owe me a ton of treats for this) took about 50 photos trying to get some semblance of an animated look from me. Not. Going. To. Happen. This was my look in every single photo. On the bright side (work with me here; I'm trying to make the best of this), I do like supporting my favorite college football team. My LSU Tigers have really come through in the last three weeks, and I couldn't be more proud of them . . . even if my face doesn't quite show my excitement. 😉 Also, my friend Scotty the Scarecrow is back for an autumnal visit. Hey, Scotty, I could use a little sip of that Dixie Beer right about now.
October Photo Challenge Day 15: YOUR NIGHTPosted: October 15, 2017 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: #octoberphotochallenge, Art for Arts' Sake, Colonial Oaks Living Center, Dogs, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, Magazine Street, New Orleans, NOLA, October Photo Challenge, Pet Photography, Pets, Thek9harperlee, Visiting Pet Program, VPP, Your Night 7 Comments
To understand my October Photo Challenge entry for YOUR NIGHT, you have to understand my day. Saturday started with a Visiting Pet Program outing to see my friends at Colonial Oaks Living Center. I stayed true to our VPP motto–Bringing Love and Leaving Smiles–as I went from room to room to see the residents. I also visited with the staff, who needed a little cheering up after a sad week. There was no time for a nap when I got home, because my LSU Tigers had an important football game against the Auburn Tigers . . . or War Eagles . . . they can't quite decide who they want to be. My Tigers found themselves in a slight scoring deficit early in the game, but I didn't give up on them and they rallied to capture the win. It took a lot of effort on my part to get that victory for my team. I was tired, but I had one last social engagement for the day. Tallulah and I closed out the night by accompanying our humans on a little Magazine Street stroll to celebrate New Orleans' Art for Arts' Sake. We visited with artists, saw lots of costumed humans who were getting a jump-start on Halloween, and stopped into our favorite watering hole where our human mommy enjoyed the air conditioning, our human daddy caught up on college football scores, and Tallulah and I did what we usually do: attracted and reveled in attention. By the time we returned home, I was a bit exhausted. I curled up on my blanket on the couch, which is kind of a special treat for me, and I said goodbye to a busy day and hello to a relaxing night.
Tomorrow's photo challenge is BEST FRIEND. I'm pretty sure you can guess who that's going to be. 🙂
October Photo Challenge Day 7: OOTDPosted: October 7, 2017 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: #octoberphotochallenge, Dogs, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, October Photo Challenge, OOTD, Outfit of the Day, Pet Photography, Pets, Tallulah, Thek9harperlee 20 Comments
My human mommy/blogging assistant is a bit of a geezer, so she looked at today's October Photo Challenge prompt and thought, "What in the world is OOTD?" She could have asked me. I'm hip. But instead she asked the Google. The Google knows everything. Turns out OOTD stands for OUTFIT OF THE DAY. Duh. This one was easy for us. You see, today my LSU Tigers are playing the Florida Gators in football. That means that Tallulah and I are donning our LSU bandanas to lend moral support to our team. And boy do they need moral support. It's been a bit of a rough season. As I dictate this to my personal typist/human mommy, the Tigers are barely holding on to a lead. If the Tigers don't win this one, our OOTD for next week's game might be a couple of paper bags over our heads.
Update on Nate: Nate is now a hurricane and he's closing in on the coast. The projected path is to our east, which is a good thing . . . for us anyway. We've had very little rain so far, which is another good thing. And we still have power, which is the best thing of all. Conditions will get a little tricky into the night, but at this point we're thanking our lucky stars. Hopefully we'll still have power tomorrow so we can share our TREAT post with you. Even if we don't have power, we'll still be having a TREAT . . . because I say so. 😉 P.S. You would think that my personal photographer/human mommy could have gotten the Tigers on the TV in that photo above. Think again. 😉
On the Sixth Day of Christmas: Oh, LSUPosted: December 30, 2014 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: Christmas, Dogs, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, Irish, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, Music City Bowl, Notre Dame, Notre Dame Irish, Pets, Sixth Day of Christmas, Thek9harperlee, Twelve Days of Christmas 8 Comments
And on the sixth day of Christmas . . . we interrupted the holiday season to celebrate our LSU Tigers. My humans and I were super excited to watch the Tigers take on the Notre Dame Irish in the Music City Bowl. I temporarily changed from my Christmas collar to my LSU collar and special gameday bandanas. My humans pulled out their purple and gold clothes, and the LSU wreath even came out for a brief appearance.
We certainly did our part, but on this particular day our Tigers came up just a little short. It's a tough ending to a challenging football season. Fortunately, though, we still have six more days to enjoy the Christmas season . . . and that's a season that never disappoints.

Countdown to Kickoff: Raise the LSU FlagPosted: August 29, 2014 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: Dogs, ESPN, GameDay, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, Pet Photography, Pets, Thek9harperlee 25 Comments
Well friends, in just a little more than 24 hours, my LSU Fighting Tigers will kick off the 2014 college football season. To say that the level of excitement at my house is off the charts would be an understatement. Mommy has planned a lovely brunch for the humans to enjoy during ESPN College GameDay; the refrigerator is stocked with adult beverages; and the pregame dinner menu is set. Mommy has painted her nails purple and laid out her gameday attire. You'll be happy to know that Daddy has not painted his nails purple, but his gameday outfit is ready to go. And, of course, I am all set with my tailgating treats, LSU collar, Tiger bling, and bandanas for both halves of the game. We've raised the LSU flag . . . and we are ready for some football!
Thank you so much for joining me on my countdown to the start of LSU's football season. If you don't have a favorite college team, I hope you'll consider pulling for the LSU Tigers. If you do have a favorite team, then I wish you the best of luck this season . . . unless, of course, you're playing my Tigers. 🙂 Geaux Tigers!
Countdown to Kickoff: More Football FashionPosted: August 28, 2014 Filed under: Things I Like | Tags: Dogs, Golden Retriever, Harper Lee, LSU, LSU Football, LSU Tigers, Pet Photography, Pets, Thek9harperlee 22 Comments
You really didn't think I would limit my football fashion to just a collar and a little bling, did you? After all, this is the first LSU Tigers game of the season. A girl needs wardrobe options for such a special event. So I've narrowed my looks down to this: the tiger-striped bandana for the first half and the purple and gold personalized bandana combo for the second half. I am so ready for Saturday night. Geaux Tigers!

i don't usually post catwalk shows but i just have to share this
flowing skirts, wide-legged cropped trousers, lace vs sheer vs metallics,
pale pink vs green, simple lines vs applique flower buds, hiiiigh shoes, big gold earrings
its romantic but i still feel like it would be easy to rock up, no?
a leather jacket, some biker boots and some studs and you've got a whole new juxtaposition

1860 Army
The 1860 Army revolver was adopted as US government ordnance because of its lighter weight, improved balance, and superior ballistics. This 6-shot percussion revolver became very popular with mounted troops and went on to be the issued sidearm for the US Army for many years. Taylor's offers a wide selection of calibers, barrel lengths, and finishes of this revolver to satisfy any shooters' needs as well as the popular accessories to enjoy shooting them. Our Army revolver product line includes classic variations and some with modern twists to better serve today's shooters. For most models our drop-in conversion cylinders are available to convert the revolver for shooting smokeless ammunition.

Welcome to the Cedar House Sport Hotel and the Winter Wonderland that Tahoe offers to us all. With an average snowfall of over 400" (810" at Squaw's Summit during '10/'11 season), 274 days of sunshine annually, and the largest concentration of ski resorts in the country – it is not surprising that Lake Tahoe winters are considered some of the best in North America.
A Truckee winter awaits, and the Cedar House Sport Hotel would like to be the first to welcome you. The Cedar House evokes a strikingly true feeling; a genuine sentiment that speaks directly to the heart of Tahoe. Our vision is to provide a mountain adventure that will exceed your every expectation. With an array of local activities available, let us help you create the perfect winter getaway.
Cedar House announces temporary closure in response to COVID-19 crisis
At Cedar House, the safety of our employees, community and guests are of utmost importance to us. With the fast evolving COVID-19 crisis, Cedar House and our restaurant Stella will be closed for an indefinite period of time beginning March 16th, 2020. This decision was not easy; however, it is the responsible choice for the protection of our town and our residents. Please know that we are reassessing this situation daily and will be here to support our community using creative and out of the box thinking. We are so thankful for all the love that everyone has continued to show us. We may be closed, but we are here for Truckee in this time of need. We look forward to the day we can reopen our doors to welcome all of you back. Stay safe and healthy.
Jeff and Patty Baird and the entire Cedar House and Stella Team
Our story began with a question – was the success of modern technology changing how we as humans communicate and connect back to one another?
Technical connections differ from physical interaction. Today's technology has connected us globally, yet we have record levels of people feeling isolated and lonely. While we all love the conveniences that modern life brings forth, in some instances, it has disengaged us from what we crave most – an understanding of ourselves and others, as well as the natural world.
To address that, we created The Cedar House, a place where people from different walks in life can come together to bond, engage, plus reenergized by exploring the awe and beauty of the Lake Tahoe region. The message of connections is felt throughout – from our architectural design, to our community dinners, and to the heartfelt greetings and engagement from our staff. We believe that balance to a world obscured by chatter and routine originates by spending and grounding oneself in the great outdoors.
Whether you visit us for one of our programs, on a company retreat or simply to relax and play here in Tahoe, we look forward to sharing our passion of the great outdoors with you. We hope you leave refreshed and inspired, understanding that our greatest moments come when we are not static, but moving in places larger than ourselves.
Jeff and Patty Baird – Owners
Green building and sustainability are not just catch phrases; it is the way our society – today and in the future – will need to operate in times of resource scarcity and economic necessity.
Defending our planet requires all of us to be more mindful of our behavior. At Cedar House, we will no longer provide disposable to-go paper or plastic cups. Please enjoy our delicious drinks in our reusable ramblers, tumblers, glass cups and ceramic mugs. We realize this is a simple change, but even modest steps can have big impacts. We understand this may at times pose an inconvenience, however 16 billion paper cups are used for coffee every single year, which leads to 6.5 million trees cut down and 4 billion gallons of water wasted to make cups that are often used for just a few minutes. We thank you in joining us as we continue to advocate change against systems that promote the endless tide of plastic and junk, which if not abated, risks the livability of our world for future generations.
Sue Duerksen – President | Sierra Green Building Association | Case Study 2008
Building Construction Type:
Stick frame construction with fiberglass insulation.
Site Use and &Protection Measures Before & During Construction (LEED Cat I):
One year before construction owner completed grading, drainage and construction of a retention pond in front of the structure; so all of the run-off water was retained on-site
Outdoor & Indoor Water Efficiency Measures in Project (LEED Cat II):
Water draining off green roof goes through gutters down a hanging chain to the landscaping below. The landscaping is sloped so that the runoff water helps water the landscaping due to the outward facing slope.
Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy Measures Used in Project (LEED Cat III):
- Wood–framed Low-E and solar tinted windows
- Every light fixture on the property is fluorescent or low voltage; no incandescent lights
- All lights have photo sensors and timers on them
- Cellulose insulation in the ceilings and blown-in fiberglass in the walls
Space & Water Heating Systems:
The buildings are designed so that everything happens from the center of each building. As a result there is no plumbing on exterior walls for saving energy and freeze protection.
The hotel uses a Rinnai tankless boiler system. Due to the design of the building there are very short footage runs from each hot water heater to each showerhead. Each building has 3 instantaneous hot water heaters for the potable water system and one Bideras instantaneous heater for the hydronic space heating system.
They were originally concerned when designing the system that the instantaneous hot water heaters may not keep up with customer hot water demand, especially due to the very cold water coming in from the street. So in order to help out the instantaneous domestic hot water heaters, the system was designed to come through a water jacket on the hydronic floor system holding tank before proceeding to the hot water heaters. This design allowed the temp of the incoming water to be heated up to a luke-warm temperature before entering the Rinnai instantaneous heaters, helping lessen the cold temperature extremes the heaters had to heat.
The Rinnai system allows each tankless water heater to "talk" to each other heater as the demand on them increases or decreases. This is an extremely energy efficient system which currently runs off natural gas, but at any time can be converted over to solar hydronic.
The hydronic in-floor heating system provides a minimum level of heating for both the hallways and each room. If a customer wants more heat in a room, a secondary ceiling mounted fan-powered hydronic system picks up the slack. Within moments of turning up the in-room thermostat, the secondary system has adjusted the room temperature to desired setting.
Green Materials & Green Measures Implemented in Project (LEED Cat IV):
Green Roof over reception/check-in area. All of the cedar exterior siding and logs came from a re-forestation project and was milled in Camptonville, CA by Moonshine Reforestation
Indoor Environmental Considerations Used in Project (LEED Cat V):
Everything used in all the interior spaces was installed and the doors of the building were left open for over a month to allow everything to outgas prior to occupation.
- Low VOC carpeting and draperies
- Richlite paper-based countertops
- Very nice plywood cabinets
- Wall mounted toilets and free floating cabinetry allow for quick and easy cleaning of the bathrooms without mold concerns.

Developers behind subdivision plan in Asharoken want to restore road and replace water pipes
Developers behind a proposed subdivision on Duck Island in Asharoken want to reroute a road and sell a plot of land to fund restoration and allow replacement of 80-year-old water pipes.
"This is probably one of the most beautiful parts of Long Island, and these people are incredibly lucky to live surrounded by this water," said Patrick Glennon, vice president of the corporation behind the project. "But they have that piece of junk as a road and you have a water service that is not reliable. And we have the ability to do something."
Asharoken Planning Board officials last month had their first look at Duck Island Corp.'s preliminary application to develop a 2-acre plot where Asharoken Avenue meets Duck Island Lane, a narrow, fractured road and the only access to the mainland. The plan would move the access road to Duck Island Lane, 178 feet west up Asharoken Avenue, allowing developers to create a 2-acre lot where a buyer could then build a home.
The property is owned by the corporation, made up of eight shareholders, including three full-time island residents, Glennon said.
The sale of the lot would help repave Duck Island Lane, a road plagued with potholes, erosion, frequent floods and sometimes limited access for the residents on Duck Island, said Glennon, also president of Northport-based Glennon Construction.
"There's no decision to be made yet," said Patrick Cleary, chairman of the village planning board, after the informal meeting. The planning board will make the final decision on the project.
Officials said that before filing an official application, expected in mid-June, the developers must address several issues: An explanation of whether residents along Asharoken Avenue would be affected by the shift in the road; clarification on whether any neighbors must consent to the change; a more detailed survey showing adjoining property owners and their houses; and additional consideration of environmental factors such as whether the site is in a coastal erosion hazard area.
Glennon said all issues would be addressed in the application.
Suffolk County Water Authority officials described the pipes as "a huge maintenance nightmare."
"I would say it is among the worst" in the county, said Paul Kuzman, acting director of construction an maintenance for the agency.
Asharoken Mayor Greg Letica declined to comment on the project.
Glennon said that some residents became concerned when John Rittenhouse became the majority owner of Duck Island Corp. Rittenhouse, a multimillionaire who grew up in Asharoken but now lives in London and works in the European energy market, bought a 22-acre property for $7 million in 2013 on the southeastern section of Duck Island, a separate purchase from Duck Island Corp., of which Rittenhouse holds 52 percent.
Rittenhouse's sister is a village trustee, and his sister-in-law is village clerk. Glennon's father-in-law is on the village planning board, but recused himself from voting on this project.
"In Asharoken, or any town, it's hard not to be related to somebody that you could say, 'there's something inappropriate going on,' " Glennon said. "I don't think there's any concern for anything inappropriate. We're not asking for any special treatment."

Events in and near Fort Lauderdale make it easy to pamper your mom or a special someone who's been like a mother to you. Check out this list of four Mother's Day events in or near Fort Lauderdale that include a free gift or surprise for mom.
To offer mothers a chance to be in the spotlight, Glorious Banquet Hall in nearby Hollywood, Florida, is hosting a Mother's Day Celebration on Saturday, May 6 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Since this event isn't actually on Mother's Day, it's a great opportunity to surprise your mom with a day out when she isn't expecting it. The event is open to all women, and those who attend will get a free goodie bag. Admission ranges from $9 to $15. There will be door prizes and unlimited mimosas.
Located in Miami, the Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse provides an air-conditioned retreat where mom can enjoy delicious food on her big day. Dazzle mom with meats that chefs grill and carve right at your table. In addition to Filet Mignon, sirloin, ribeye, and lamb, this restaurant features mouth-watering seafood and Brazilian side dishes. On Sunday, May 14 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., moms who dine at Fogo will receive a free dining card to use during their next visit. This is a great way to give mom two meals for the price of one.
As an Italian restaurant in Coconut Grove, Spasso serves pizzas, pasta, salads, grilled meats, desserts, and more. All day on May 14, mothers eat for free at Spasso. But the pampering doesn't end there. In the spirit of true Italian hospitality, the restaurant also offers all moms one free glass of Prosecco. After all, hasn't mom earned the right to a delicious meal and a glass of wine?
Exclusively for Mother's Day, Spasso will offer some special additions to the menu, including several small plates. Parties that make reservations for four to 10 people on Mother's Day will receive a complimentary appetizer to get the meal off to a great start.
One week before Mother's Day, Brickell Fashion Market in Miami will feature a shopping expo and fashion show. Some parts of the day-long event are free. This is a great event for moms who love to shop.
Taking your mom out to eat or see a fashion show are just a couple of ways to celebrate her. You can also show you care by offering to run errands for her or fixing up her home. If she needs to have her air conditioning system checked or repaired before the summer heat sets in, give All Year Cooling a call. Their team of professionals will get your mom's air conditioner running again. That's a gift that keeps on giving!

Break the leader and you still have a reel full of line to fish with, break the main line and you may have a half empty reel to fish with.

We averaged a 306% immediate increase in rents in 2019.
American Tower Corporation is a publicly held company that is a leading owner and operator of wireless and broadcast communications sites in North America, that is headquartered in the Boston, Massachusetts area.
American Tower has local offices nationwide. The company was formed in 1995 as a unit of American Radio Systems, and was spun off from that company in 1998, when that company merged with CBS Corporation. Today, American Tower owns and operates over 34,000 sites in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and India.
On September 6, 2013, American Tower Corporation announced the acquisition of Global Tower Partners. The acquisition of Global Tower Partners adds approximately 5,400 towers in the US, along with over 9,000 rooftop sites. The towers acquired from Global Tower Partners average a little less than two (2) tenants per tower and, as result, have space for additional tenants to be located on those assets.
American Tower generates revenue from all the major carriers doing business in the United States.
American Tower is posed to continue its expansion across the globe, with concentrated expansion outside the United States, with almost 3,000 sites to be built this year.
As for existing American Tower cell site leases, currently about 30% of all present American Tower cell tower leases have less than ten (10) years remaining on their lease terms.
American Tower is making an aggressive play to secure their tower sites due to their business model being directly tied in to keeping these towers up and running, without interruption or costly relocation.
American Tower completes hundreds of cell tower lease extensions and buyouts, and, again, are ramping up their efforts to make sure their cash cow is not slaughtered.
American Tower seems to have made it a mission to get to its cellular tower landlords before they can get to consulting firms like Vertical Consultants. Vertical Consultants can not only assist the property owners in getting lease terms that align with the real value of the tower site, but can also assist them to not agree to terms that may negatively impact them and their properties.
Vertical Consultants continues to advise its clients of the opportunities they have regarding their American Tower lease.
If you have been contact by American Tower, then call us today, and we will review your lease and your tower site to see what options you truly have and how to optimize those options.
Vertical Consultants is always open to providing you with not only references from clients we have assisted, but we will let you speak to them directly.
Results Matter: In 2019, Vertical Consultants averaged a 306% immediate increase in rents being received by our clients. We get results by being the only full-service telecom consulting firm that can handle your telecom, real estate and legal questions all under one roof. No other consulting firm can say that, nor can they match our results. "Advice is Nice but Results are Better"

[1 ] The Feast of "Booths " or "Ingathering." It falls on the fifth day after Yom Kippur, on the 15th day and lasts for seven days in the seventh month. A Feast of thanksgiving for the last harvest of the year, a celebration for God's faithfulness during the 40 years in the wilderness, a feast of rejoicing and of final rest. Regarding the prophetic fulfillment of this Feast at the end of time with the return of the Messiah as King when His body, 'the Bride', Jews and Gentiles together, will join Him to be forever with him, Dr. David Reagan (see XI.B.) writes: "Because Jesus literally fulfilled the four feasts and did so on the actual feast days, I think it is safe to assume that the last three (feasts) will also be fulfilled and that this fulfillment will occur on the actual feast days." With regard to what Dr. Reagan calls "the rhythm of God" (the seven annual Feast days) he argues that this rhythm is based on the creation week and even extends to the millennium "for a period of 7000 years." The Millennium of Rev 20 is thus based on the creation week and the seven feasts correspond to the six days of labor with the Shabbath day as a day of rest. According to Dr Reagan's view we are standing at the threshold of prophetic fulfillment as forshadowed in these feasts.
(2) Barney Kasdan (1993) writes about his book 'God's Appointed Times,' "A major point of this book is to show God's plan of salvation illustrated through the holy days he revealed to Israel. Critical events regarding God's plan are consistently fulfilled on these special days. Not surprisingly, we find Messiah dying on the cross as our Passover lamb on the very day of Pesach. The pouring out of the firstfruits of God's Holy Spirit likewise takes place on the appropriate holy day of Shavuot. Would such an important event as the birth of the Messiah go unheralded by one of these biblical feasts? Of all the feasts of the Lord, Sukkot best illustrates the fact that God would dwell in the midst of his people through the presence of the Messiah. He may have literall fulfilled his promise the very day of Tabernacles. ... All the feasts of the Lord have their own particular lessons to teach. Yet because of this latter day fulfillment, Sukkot seems to be the apex of all the other appointed times of God. The goal of God's plan is ultimately the establishment of His Kingdom on the earth. This best explains why, of all the biblical holy days, Sukkot is said to be the premier celebration of the Millennium. ("Zech 14:16-17). "It is worthy to note that the judgment for not celebrating Sukkot in the Messianic Kingdom will be the withholding of rain. Since Sukkot celebrates the fall harvest, it is traditional in the Jewish community to begin the prayers for the winter rains essential for the upcoming year at this time. When Yeshua returns to establish the long-awaited Kingdom, all people who have been redeemed by his sacrifice will gladly celebrate Sukkot in all its fullness. ...What a celebration there will be as his people, both Jews and Gentiles, wave the lulav (palm branch) and chant, Ana Adonai Hoshiana! (Lord, do save us!) Amen. Come, Lord Yeshua.!" (pp 96, 100-101)
(3) The apostle John in his Greek text uses a play on words: 'to dwell' or 'to live with' is literally 'to tabernacle.' The Messiah, so to speak, "set up His Tabernacle" among His people. The Greek text clearly hints to the remarkable fulfillment of God's central desire throughout Scripture to see the original fellowship restored that existed between God and man in the Garden of Eden. This desire is reflected in God's continuous emphasis on His covenant relationship with His people as for instance in Exodus 29:46, Lev 26:11-12, Num 15:41, Deut 29:12-14 and the final restoration in Rev 21:3.
David Stern in his JNT translates Rev 21:3: "See! God's Sh'kinah is with mankind, and he will live with them..." In his JNTC he points out that the Greek words 'skênê ' "tent, tabernacle, lodging" and 'skênôsei' "he will dwell" are both related to Hebrew "shakan" (to dwell) "from which is derived 'Sh'kinah,' referring to the glorious manifesting presence of God who can dwell among men. (Compare Rev 7:15; Ezek 37:27)." "Thus God will dwell with them, be the Sh'kinah and the Tabernacle with them" (Zech 2:9) . "But will God indeed dwell with man on earth?" (2. Chron 6:18). Yes, he will." JNTC p. 852

Gold eases as slight nerves set in on Fed policy outlook
[LONDON] Gold prices eased on Friday, reflecting tension between an easier global interest rate backdrop and the chance of US monetary policy being tightened before the end of 2016.
Spot gold shed 0.5 per cent to stand at US$1,324.66 an ounce at 1011 GMT, on course for a decline of around 1 per cent for the week.
Bullion has benefited significantly - hitting its highest in two years earlier this month - as central banks from Europe to Japan opt to keep policy looser for longer, because that neutralises the opportunity cost of holding an asset with no interest rate.
But the dollar has gained ground recently on strong readings on the US labour market and inflation, which have boosted bets the Fed will raise US interest rates by year-end.
"People think the international situation is enough to keep the Federal Reserve on hold, but there's some slight nervousness," Macquarie analyst Matthew Turner said.
"The assumption that the Fed is more cautious now is surely correct as it didn't manage to do the hiking cycle it wanted, but being more cautious does not mean completely paralysed. There's a slight down cycle for gold at the moment as there has been a string of good US data," he added.
The US Federal Reserve will wait until the fourth quarter before raising interest rates, likely in December after the presidential election, according to a Reuters poll which once again showed subdued inflation expectations.
Meanwhile, the ECB on Thursday held rates at record lows as it seeks to revive growth and inflation with cheap credit to the economy. It left the door open to more policy stimulus, highlighting "great" uncertainty and abundant risks to the economic outlook.
Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said spot gold could retest support at US$1,313 per ounce.
ANZ analyst Daniel Hynes said the market was also going through a bout of voidness post Britain's EU referendum result.
"But everything else is still very conducive for the growth of investments (in gold). Once we just watch out for any short-term positioning that we saw coming just after the referendum, we will continue to see support for gold prices."
Holdings of SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, fell 0.22 per cent to 963.14 tonnes on Thursday.
In other metals, palladium lost 0.7 per cent to US$677.75, having touched its highest since late October 2015 on Thursday.
Silver, which hit a near two-week low on Thursday, was down 0.6 per cent to US$19.63 an ounce, while platinum lost 0.3 per cent to US$1,095.00.

New York and Iowa
New York was awesome, fully loved it! The peoplewere mostly nice, I got free tickets to a Knicks game at Madison Square, cheap tickets to the ice hockey (totally my new favourite spectator sport!), Chicken Parma rolls and all sorts of cool stuff. Wandered around Times Square, saw Statue of Liberty-which isn't that big, and the Empire State building. Also ended up at this little Theatre/Drama/Impro club in some little street which was pretty funny. I jumped on a team with these randoms and we ended up winning which was fun, the picture is terrible but you can see it here
Was really good doing a tour of the WTC site, had a dude who was a firefighter on the day showing us around which was amazing. Was fascinating being able to put legs on all the pictures and stories you have heard. Was really worthwhile.
Now I'm just hanging out with my mates who lived with us two years ago, out in suburban Iowa. Is pretty relaxed, and just cool to be with mates. Have been eating heaps of American food, went and ate at a college dorm dining hall yesterday which was funny as, and hopefully going out sledding and playing in the snow today. Am like such a little kid with snow, its just so exciting and new for me! Still practising making snow angels and pee-ing my name in the snow!
And man, if I was American I would get so fat, they just have so much cheap junk food, and so many chocolate and peanut butter foods, it's awesome!

These new super high-arched wedges some lucky little shoe lapper bought me are simply divine! The seven inch wedge heel and one inch platform put my perfect size eights into the perfect position for stepping on my pets. The slut at the end of my chain leash in this video is allowed to beg for my permission to put its damp shoe rag of a tongue all over that shiny patent leather. I let it lick and kiss the buckles and straps before it's allowed to further beg to lick my sheer pantyhose. Of course, the little bitch can't resist the urge to lick my long red nails too. There's just something about wearing gorgeous fetish heels and having a slave practically in tears begging to worship them that makes me feel so good. And that's what really matters, isn't it?

HDD Pictures of Inspiration Egress Windows for Home?
How to Have Egress Windows in Your Home?In every region, egress windows have their own requirements. The window must fulfill the four International Residental Code criteria. First, the minimum width of opening is 20 inch. The minimum height of opening is 24 inch. Third, the minimum net clear opening is 5.7 sq. ft. (5.0 sq. ft. for ground). Last, the maximum sill height above floor is 44 inch. You have to fulfill those requirements for the sake of safety reasons.
The best window to be used, egress windows is the casement window completed with hinged sashes that swing free and clear. This kind of window is ideal for every room, from the bedroom to the basement. To maintain the window clearness, wash your egress windows using squeegee. It is a better tool to clear the window rather than a spray bottle and paper towel. Do it regularly and you will get the clean and clear windows.
If you want to have these egress windows, there are some options for you. The easiest way but much needed money way is buying the window from the home décor or home depot store and then hiring the person to help the installation. If you want to try the more economical way, you can do it by yourself. There are many tutorial video that can be your guidance.

If so, where can I find the > documentation on how to create mailing lists remotely (with a web page)? If you need bounce info, and if that list is re-used after opt-outs are calculated, then you need a mailing list manager. That's because it injects messages one at a time, so you can tune it to not hammer a server, which is bound to reject a single message with 50,000 Bcc: recipients (RFCs don't require an MTA to even accept delivery of such a message, and it's going to kill the upstream MTA) You're also going to need the bounce usefulness of mailman, but it's only really useful after multiple sends. One send cannot remove bounces from the list in case the bounces are non-permanent. No doubt you could hack something to get rid of permanent looking bounces but you'd have to parse the bounces yourself then. Not easy, when MTAs can respond in all sorts of languages and with all sorts of codes. You don't want to be overwriting each time, if I'm reading between the lines. You want to *synchronise* with other lists each time. For that, you can use some scripting of your own in PHP perhaps to do this. I host a site with a mailing list of c. 12,000 subscribers which are also in an SQL database which synchronises with mailman at each change. It was a hassle (auto-ftp and stuff) but it works nicely. I use tools in the $prefix/bin directory of mailman like add_member, remove_member, and the sync_can't remember the rest thing. -- |-Simon White, Internet Services Manager, Certified Check Point CCSA. |-MTDS Internet, Security, Anti-Virus, Linux and Hosting Solutions. |-MTDS 14, rue du 16 novembre, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco. |-MTDS tel +212.3.767.4861 - fax +212.3.767.4863

Sterilisation standards
The sterilising of reusable medical devices is a specialised area of infection prevention. Quality management of reprocessing of reusable instruments and equipment is essential in ensuring a reliable and reproducible process is performed.
The recommended guidance for reprocessing of reusable instruments and equipment is contained within Australian/New Zealand Standard 4187:2014. All sterilising facilities should have ready access to this document.
This standard can be purchased through the SAI Global website or accessed electronically through the SA Health library.
Staff who undertake reprocessing of reusable medical devices must be trained in the necessary procedures. There are specific courses in sterilisation available locally through tertiary institutions for example:
- Certificate III in Sterilisation Services (delivered by ANMEC and TIME)
- Certificate IV in Sterilisation Services (delivered by ANMEC)
- Reprocessing of endoscopes online learning package (GENCA).

Doomfist is leaving the Overwatch PTR and headed to everyone's game next week.
Doomfist went live on the Overwatch PTR earlier this month, and he's about to head over to the full game. Blizzard announced today that newest hero will be live in the game on July 27.
The trailer above features developers talking about the process behind Doomfist's development, and how classic fighting games inspired his attacks.
Doomfist has been on the minds of the Overwatch community since actor Terry Crews began campaigning to be cast as the voice of the character back in January of the year. Since then, there were rumors, and another hero released before Doomfist popped up on the PTR, where he got a quick nerf.
You can check out all 10 of Doomfist's skins right here. You'll be able to play as Doomfist on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on July 27.

***We were given the opportunity to try out 3 different MegaFood Booster powders for free from Momsmeet (momsmeet.com) May Media Group LLC, who received them directly from the manufacturer. All opinions are 100% ours. ***
I know that there are a lot of kids besides mine that have a hard time swallowing pills or chewing up vitamins, so these Nutrient Booster Powders from MegaFood might be a good fit. You can be sneaky with them!
I've used MegaFood vitamins for myself before.
I love their "Fresh from Farm to Tablet" philosophy. I love that they are made from whole foods. MegaFood kids Nutrient Booster Powders are made from whole foods as well, with a one of a kind Slo-Foods(TM) process. Plus, the powders have NO added sugar, sweeteners, preservatives, flavorings or colors.
You know what's cool? You can watch your vitamins being made at : megafood.com/livecams
The booster powders can be snuck into different foods; think yogurt, apple sauce, smoothies, energy bites. We even snuck it into salsa. The powders are easy to digest and don't cause stomach upset.
There are 3 varieties that we were able to try:
- Kids Daily Multi -- which contains turmeric, carrots, fresh fruits, and 23 essential vitamins and minerals per serving.
- Kids Daily Immune powder -- which contains oranges from Uncle Matt's Organic, and elderberry and echinacea.
- Kids Daily B-Centered -- The B-Centered features Lundberg Family Farms organic brown rice and is formulated with a full spectrum of Food-State B Vitamins. The B Vitamin blend could possibly provide daily support for mental focus, cognitive function and a sense of calmness. **This statement has not been evaluated by the Food & Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, prevent, or cure any disease.
Each jar of booster powder has it's own scoop so that you know exactly how much to use.
I love that they tell you about the farms that they use right on the label.
I actually had a hard time "hiding" the powders from my kids in drinks and food. We tried it in apple cider first by stirring it in with a spoon. It didn't mix in all the way and we were left with a little residue in the bottom of the glass.
Then, we tried to whisk it in with a power whisk to see if it dissolved a little better. There was definitely less residue that way.
My son finished all of his, but my daughter didn't end up finishing hers because she didn't like the taste. The vitamin powder still has a strong vitamin taste and smell so sometimes you can still smell it and taste it in the things that you mix it into. We tried it in cinnamon flavored apple sauce next. My daughter finished it that time, but she still didn't like it and wouldn't be likely to eat it that way again. We tried to make the smoothie recipe that was suggested, but that didn't go over very well. Nobody liked the taste of that.
We then made a smoothie with pineapple, orange and banana and that was one of the best ways she liked it. I believe she finished the smoothie, but still probably wasn't getting a full serving of the vitamins. At least she's probably getting more vitamins than she normally would.
We even tried it with chips and salsa. I thought maybe if we tried to "hide" it in something salty or savory, it might hide the taste better.
She said chips and salsa was the best way, UNTIL. . . . . . .
Finally, I tried to make the Peanut Power Bites recipe that was included in our kit.
We made those with the Kids Daily B-Centered and she loved those.
The recipe makes 4 servings, so she would probably eat close to 1 serving on any given day. I need to try it with the Multi Vitamin powder instead of the Daily B-Centered to see if it would actually work for that powder as well. When we finally find something that works, we need to go with it!
Powering up for the final game of the Soccer Tournament!
My daughter likes dried cranberries, so I might actually try this recipe next!

I AM is a 2011 documentary film written, narrated, and directed by Tom Shadyac. The documentary explores Shadyac's personal journey after a 2007 bicycle accident, "the nature of humanity" and "world's ever-growing addiction to materialism." The film, shot with Shadyac and a team of four, contrasts sharply with Shadyac's previous comedic work.
Shadyac had suffered post-concussion syndrome after a 2007 bicycle accident in Virginia, experiencing months of acute headaches and hyper-sensitivity to light and noise. The injury followed the cumulative effects of previous mild head injuries Shadyac had suffered surfing, mountain biking and playing basketball.
A 2011 New York Times article stated that: "the symptoms of a concussion [didn't] go away. Something as simple as a trip to the grocery store was painful for Shadyac, whose brain was unable to filter various stimuli.
After medical treatments failed to help, he isolated himself completely, sleeping in his closet and walling the…

Psychologist suggests synthesthesia may underlie creature's apparent memory feats…
In what seems like a blow for humanity, a very smart chimpanzee in Japan crushes any human challenger at a number memory game.
After the numbers 1 through 9 make a split-second appearance on a computer screen, the chimp, Ayumu, gets to work. His bulky index finger flies gracefully across the screen, tapping white squares where the numbers had appeared, in order. So far, no human has topped him.
Ayumu's talent caused a stir when researchers first reported it in 2007 (SN: 12/8/2007, p. 355). Since then, the chimp's feat has grown legendary, even earning him a starring role in a recent BBC documentary.

Summary of This Week's Influences/All times listed are Eastern Daylight Time (EDT).
- General Influences:
Venus moves into intensely passionate Scorpio late Tuesday until October 18, a good time to work out any deep seated issues in intimate relationships, and for couples to review joint assets, insurance policies, wills and trusts.
Mercury in Libra turns retrograde early Wednesday until October 15. Planets do not really move backwards, but appear that way from Earth's vantage point. Mercury rules all forms of communication, communication devices, and movement. Mercury retrograde in Libra emphasizes how we communicate with others, particularly with our personal and professional partners. Contractual agreements and arrangements could be subject to revision or broken off, and relationships from the past could resurface during this time. With Venus in Scorpio during Mercury retrograde, any secrets kept from another partner are more likely to reach the surface.
NOTE: I intend to upload a separate post about Mercury retrograde in Libra later, so check back to Wall Street Weather . In the meantime, here's my post on the previous Mercury retrograde period.
- Stockmarket: As referenced in last week's Stockmarket Summary, the panic of 1907 morphed into the panic of 2008. The September 15 Harvest Moon conjoining Uranus challenging Pluto, did indeed take the market from panic to euphoria in a seesaw action. Lehman Brothers (LEH) filed for bankruptcy, AIG got an $85 billion line from the Federal Reserve to keep it out of bankruptcy, and the SEC went from lax enforcement of their own rules to going to the extreme on short selling once the shorts went after Goldman Sachs (GS). Representative of the energies of Saturn in Virgo, Treasury Secretary Paulson began invoking provisions in historic governmental (Saturn) regulations (Virgo) such as the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 to guarantee unlimited amounts of cash held in certain types of money market funds for one year, yet the government refuses to insure money held in FDIC-insured banks for over $100,000. By Friday, Treasury Secretary Paulson was ready to buy up all of Wall Street's private and unregulated toxic waste (Pluto). When all the wild action was over, the DJIA had dropped 33.55 points for the week, while the NASDAQ gained 12.63 and the S&P500 gained 3.38 points. See my related posts, "AIG, Lehman, and Merrill under a Harvest Moon: Parallels to the Panic of 1907" and "After AIG, Paulson's Moral Hazard Ends at the Golden Door."
The draft Proposal of Paulson's plan to purchase mortgage-related assets aligns with the Bush Doctrine of pre-emptiveness; the plan could have been written by Hugo Chavez or Vladimir Putin. I think the interpretation of the plan on ClickBroker's blog sums it up best.
With the Sun and Mercury in Mars-ruled Aries, Paulson is trying to get Congress to agree to his plan as quickly as possible. This is also reflected by the second alignment of Mercury conjoining Mars in Libra Tuesday. This alignment was present at the time Paulson announced the government's conservatorship of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE). With Mercury turning retrograde lined up with Mars, agreements made in haste are likely to need a lot of revision or even fall apart. However, other energies around this time that I will be writing about reflect that a government intervention of Jupiter-sized proportions is on the way.
Markets and Congress this week will be focused on Paulson's proposal. Fed Chairman Bernanke will be testifying along with Paulson, GSE Conservator Lockhart, and SEC Chairman Cox Tuesday and Wednesday at 10:00 AM, Wednesday at 2:30 PM, and Thursday at Noon.
Most of the week looks to have a positive bias, but the Mercury retrograde period (September 24 to October 15) tends to create choppy and unpredictable trading patterns. Since Mercury will turn retrograde conjoining natal Jupiter in the chart for the original founding of the NYSE, moves are likely to be probably big (in either direction).
Monday, September 22, 2008
- General Influences: The Last Quarter Moon occurs at 1:04 AM and then is VOC* until entering Cancer at 1:49 AM. The Sun enters Libra at 11:45 AM until October 22. There's a greater emphasis on socializing and relationships. Venus and Pluto energies can foster deep caring and understanding. With the Moon in Cancer opposing Jupiter, a midnight snack might be difficult to resist unless you go to sleep early tonight.
- Stockmarket: Up, but could start weakening in afternoon. Venus and Pluto last hooked up on December 3, 2007 when Paulson's plan to create a "Super SIV" was not well-received by Wall St.
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
- General Influences: Rise and shine quickly as Mercury conjoins Mars in Libra! Be ready to "think on your feet" today. Put down the phone and the other distractions to watch where you're going. And take a moment to breathe J (Mercury previously conjoined Mars on September 8.) Shakeup the lunch break routine today by eating or doing something different. It might be difficult to reach agreement with another this afternoon with the Moon challenging Mercury and Mars. People can get easily irritated now. Cancer Moon becomes VOC at 5:17 PM. Venus enters Scorpio late this evening until October 18. Desires and emotions can get passionately intense now. Be honest and upfront in a romantic relationship instead of keeping something secret.
- Stockmarket: Up, strongest through early afternoon.
Wednesday, September 24, 2008
- General Influences: The day begins with Mercury in Libra turning retrograde. The Moon enters Leo at 5:13 AM. Any feeling of being off balance early this morning quickly gives way to a more sunny and relaxed outlook. The Moon in Leo today and tomorrow offers a midweek break from the recent turmoil. Squeezing even a little bit of time in for fun stuff and recreational activities will be rejuvenating.
- Stockmarket: Positive trend bias.
Thursday, September 25, 2008
- General Influences: A misunderstanding with a loved one could arise this evening, and if so, now is the time to talk things out to resolve it. It's when we're not giving our full attention to what information we're receiving that confusion and difficulties are more likely to occur, especially now with Mercury retrograde.
- Stockmarket: Choppy/mixed to moderately up.
Friday, September 26, 2008
- General Influences: Leo Moon becomes VOC at 7:20 AM; Virgo Moon takes over all the details at 9:52 AM. The morning energies are the best time to accomplish your most important tasks. Since Virgo is ruled by Mercury, it's especially important to pay attention to details, reconfirm appointments, backup computer files, charge electronic devices, and make sure you're stocked with all the essentials. Getting work finished earlier in the day could help get a jumpstart on TGIF and the weekend as the Moon and Venus (the planetary ruler of Fridays) favorably connect in midafternoon.
- Stockmarket: Choppy/mixed. Could see late session upswing.
Weekend: September 27-28, 2008
- Saturday: The Virgo Moon harmonizing with Jupiter this morning has an ambitious agenda planned today. We're in the mood to get some serious work done with the Moon conjoining Saturn. Take care traveling this evening and reconfirm reservations as the Moon opposing Uranus can create disruptions in travel, and unexpected events in general.
- Sunday: Mercury harmonizes with Neptune for the second time (first was September 19; and again October 30, 2008). Share your thoughts with friends and loved ones who share your vision. Reading inspirational literature or your favorite leisure reading is uplifting and healthier than reading about political barbs or what got blown up in the Sunday paper. Chill out any need to control or criticize another around midday. Virgo Moon becomes VOC at 1:30 PM. Libra Moon arrives at 4:05 PM, bringing in the love and need to be with someone special.
*VOC (Void-of-Course) = When the Moon (our emotional barometer) does not form any relationship to a planet before entering a new zodiacal sign. This time period is best suited for anything where NO ACTION OR SPECIFIC OUTCOME is desired, as actions taken during the VOC period might not turn out as planned.

Computer program could help solve arson cases
Program can sift through chemical clues to help RCMP scientists find the cause of deliberately set fires.
By BEV BETKOWSKI
(Edmonton) Sifting through the chemical clues left behind by arson is delicate, time-consuming work, but University of Alberta researchers, teaming with RCMP scientists, have found a way to speed the process.
A computer program developed by U of A Faculty of Science professor James Harynuk, his team of graduate and undergraduate researchers and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police National Forensic Laboratory Services, can cut the need for extra levels of human analysis, reducing the waiting time to find out the cause of a deliberately set fire.
That means quicker turnaround on answers for fire investigators, said Mark Sandercock, manager of trace evidence program support for the RCMP's National Forensic Laboratory Services, and a co-author on the research.
"Having results back in a timely way on physical evidence can only improve an investigation," Sandercock said. "By getting the laboratory results back quickly, investigators can use this information to ask the right questions when interviewing people or evaluating other evidence, which will help them resolve the case more quickly by pointing them in the right direction."
The U of A study, published recently in Forensic Science International, is the first to use a mathematical model to successfully classify debris pulled from suspected arson scenes, going beyond research based solely on simulated debris.
Harynuk's team began working with the RCMP's Edmonton-based forensic lab in 2008, looking to develop tools for interpreting chemical data. Arson investigation was a logical fit.
"Arson debris provides an interesting set of samples because it is uncontrolled," Harynuk said. "You never know what is going to be in the fire, or how it started. Paint thinners, gasoline, kerosene are all very complex mixtures, and we wanted to develop a tool that would be able to pick a complex signature out of an equally complex background."
"It's a system that is quite accurate and goes down a similar investigative path that a human would when looking at the data."
Volatile compounds released in a fire can mask the vital chemical data that RCMP scientists need to pinpoint, Sandercock noted. "It can be like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Currently, an RCMP forensic scientist examines data from a sample, which is then re-examined by a second scientist to see whether they agree on the findings—a process that can take hours per sample. The average arson investigation yields three or four samples.
The technology developed at the U of A would allow the first scientist to run findings through the computer program, getting an answer in seconds. Only if the computer gave a result different from that of the scientist would the debris sample go to a second human analyst.
For their work, Harynuk and his team focused on gasoline, the most commonly used ignitable liquid in arsons. They analyzed data from 232 chemical samples provided by the RCMP's lab services, drawn from fire debris in cases under investigation across Canada. From chemical profiles taken from burned carpet, wood and cloth, they were able to develop a computer filter that isolated the signature of gasoline in the data. This signature was then used to indicate whether or not gasoline was present in the debris sample, a possible indicator of it being used to start a fire.
"It's a system that is quite accurate and goes down a similar investigative path that a human would when looking at the data," Harynuk said.
The computer tool also applies to other types of analysis; it has been used to distinguish olive oils from other vegetable oils and to identify coffee flavour profiles, and was applied to another U of A project on odor retention in fabrics, with the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences.
The next steps for the technology are to gather support for commercialization and to test the computer program on other, less common ignitable liquids such as kerosene and lighter fluid.
The collaboration between the U of A and the RCMP is proving to be a valuable partnership, Harynuk and Sandercock noted.
"As U of A researchers, we need partners like the RCMP to provide the real-world samples where we can truly test these new tools," Harynuk said. "Without the collaboration, we would be stuck working with simulations, and those are only useful to a point."
For its part, the U of A provides research power for larger projects that the RCMP does not always have the resources to support in-house, Sandercock added.
"The university devotes the time and resources to this. Using their labs and graduate research, they built this technology from scratch. No one has tried to do what James has done. It's something we wouldn't be able to carry out on our own, to develop that kind of expertise," he said.
The research was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Alberta Innovates – Technology Futures and the U of A's Department of Chemistry.

High Street vouchers still tax freeWednesday, January 17th, 2018
As many of you are in the middle of completing your self-assessment tax return, you might be pleased to know that if you were fortunate enough to receive high street gift vouchers as part of your Christmas bonus, they could be a tax free bonus.
This is because they are defined by HMRC as non-cash vouchers and from April 2016, they fell into the 'trivial benefits' regime (not taxable subject to certain conditions). These conditions include:
– The cost to the employers must be less than £50
– It isn't cash or a cash voucher
– It isn't a reward for their work or performance
– It isn't in the terms of their contract
– A director of a close company can not receive trivial benefits worth more than £300 in any tax year.

Neutered: Radical Feminism Hits the Military
Men and women are different, plain and simple. No matter how society tries to obscure our differences, we can't change the fact that we are different.
It's time for America to embrace rather than challenge this obvious truth. The Pentagon does not, which is why they announced last month that women could now serve in active combat.
But can you blame the Pentagon? Society is trying to propel the fallacy that men and women are one in the same, only to be distinguished by their reproductive organs. You can observe this fanatic attempt to blur gender-distinguishing qualities in everything: from award shows, where Hollywood is now trying to ban gender-based awards; to literature, where books like The Dangerous Book for Boys are deemed sexist for suggesting a certain realm of facts are more pivotal for one gender; all the way to our military.
But as feminists push their radical agenda on all realms of society, they neglect to take into account the differences between our genders. In an article called "Get Over It! We Are Not All Created Equal," Captain Katie Petronio writes:
As a combat-experienced Marine officer, and a female, I am here to tell you that we are not all created equal, and attempting to place females in the infantry will not improve the Marine Corps as the Nation's force-in-readiness or improve our national security.
Petronio recognizes something that feminists do not -- men are more equipped for the physical exertion that combat entails. I hate to state the obvious, but men have larger muscle mass and greater lung capacity. They have stronger bones, tendons, and ligaments. They are taller and bigger on average. And they're better at sports that demand powerful bursts of energy.
When male Olympians line up to run the 1500, there's a reason that there are no women beside them; the male gold medalist ran the 1500 in 3 minutes, 34 seconds, while the female gold medalist had a time of 4 minutes, 10 seconds. Women simply cannot compete at the level of men because men are stronger and faster.
Petronio reported that in Officer Candidate School (OCS) in 2011, women had an attrition rate of 40 percent, compared to the male rate of 16 percent. In cases like this where females cannot keep up with males, the inevitable lowering of standards quickly follows. We've already seen this happen in our military academies. The Candidate Fitness Assessment (CFA) for the United States Military, Air Force, Naval, and Merchant Marine academies mandates that men demonstrate their ability to do pull-ups. Women, however, are welcome to merely hang on the bar as "an alternative measure of muscular strength and endurance for women who are unable to execute one correct cadence pull-up." Only three months ago did the Marine Corps change this requirement; they still mandate more capacity for the men. We would be naïve to think the same lowering of standards will not happen in our combat forces.
Says Fort Bliss Staff Sergeant Kevin Denis:
If I'm going to get evacuated and someone's going to pull me out of a combat situation where I'm injured and something's going down, I don't want to be left there by someone who can't pick me up and move me.

I love every wedding I shoot, but this one was special to me. I've know Kristen for a few years now and was so excited when she sent me a picture of the ring saying Dave had proposed. Kristen and Dave met while working at hotels across the street from one another and it was love at first sight. In the time they have dated, they have traveled the world together and captured the hearts of everyone who knows them. You couldn't meet a more sincere couple. Their wedding was full of emotion and pure happiness. I've never seen two families come together so effortlessly. Kristen is an only child and now she not only gained a husband, but four brothers and sisters.
I recently did an engagement session with Linda and Evan. They wanted an outdoor environment and Walter Jones Historical Park was the perfect setting for them. They are such a sweet couple and I can't wait for their spring wedding.
Rebecca and Jesse meet while attending the University of Florida – Go Gators! Rebecca knew that Jesse was the one from the very beginning. They made their vows at The Club Continental overlooking the St. Johns River. It was a sweet ceremony and I loved that it was officiated by the bride's grandfather.
This summer when I went up to Buffalo, NY to visit family my aunt booked me a senior portrait session with Paige and Jay. Being in a new place is exciting and challenging – you don't know where your going or what to expect. I arrived at their home and was pleasantly surprised to see their backyard. It was perfect! They had a barn, wildflowers, a wood pile and a basketball court. Paige and Jay were such a delight and total naturals.
From the first time I meet Dana and Ricky, I knew their wedding day would be filled with laughter. Their May wedding at Oyster Bay Yacht Club was a dream come true with the breathtaking coastal views and beautiful southern charm – they also have the best cornbread.
