With a loss to the New York Giants (4-2) on MNF to cap off week even of the NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys (1-4) will not be officially eliminated from the playoffs but they might want to start thinking about watching the Super Bowl in Dallas rather than playing in the championship game on their home field. Vegas has installed Dallas as -3 favorite at home, but the Giants have won 11 of the past 19 games in the series.
Dallas has not won since September 26 and has dropped their past two outings. The Cowboys is ranked in the top ten in passing and rushing defense, but have only 4 turnovers and, other than linebacker DeMarcus Ware who has seven sacks, the team has struggled to get a pass rush. Tony Romo has throw 10 TD passes but has been intercepted 7 times, with his primary targets Miles Austin and Roy Williams collecting 70% of his touchdown throws. The running game, though, has struggled at times, with Felix Jones leading the team in rushing with only 229 yards. Even with some outstanding individual performances, the sum of the part has added-up to mostly losses.
The Giants, meanwhile, have regained their running game and defense that helped them win a championship in 2007. Ahmad Bradshaw leads the NFC in rushing with 582 yards and has transformed into an every down running back. After a bad 2009 season and a slow start this year, even Brandon Jacobs has regained his mojo. Eli Manning has continued to grow in the passing game with 10 TDs but need to protect the ball better. Hakeem Nicks and Steve Smith have developed into big-time receivers and have combined for 787 yards and 7 TDs. Defensively, the Giants can rush the passer with Justin Tuck and Osi Umenyiora leading the way.
The Cowboys are fighting for their playoff lives but the Giants have not lost in Dallas since 2007. Look for the Giants to cover the spread and win on the road.

A man who is suspected of 15 armed robberies in National City and San Diego was arrested Wednesday.
National City Police arrested Ricardo Reyes, 34, during a traffic stop on Bevner Court in San Diego.
Reyes is suspected of being the so-called "Frustrated Fan Bandit," the person responsible for more than 15 armed robberies including motels, gas stations, convenience stores and fast food restaurants.
Reyes is accused of robbing two businesses Jan. 3 in University Heights and Normal Heights.
Agents labeled the suspect as the "Frustrated Fan Bandit" because he either wore San Diego Padres or Chargers clothing during the robberies.
Reyes has been booked into county jail on multiple counts of armed robbery.

Starring: Rosalind Russell, Jan Handzlik, Roger Smith, Forrest Tucker, Coral Browne, Fred Clark, Peggy Cass
Director: Morton DaCosta
Summary: An eccentric heiress tries to raise her nephew to be a free spirit
Other Nominations: Actress (Russell), Supporting Actress (Cass), Art Direction, Color Cinematography, Film Editing
-I won't end up seeing I Want to Live! With Susan Hayward (despite getting 6 Oscar nominations including Director, Actress and Adapted Screenplay), but I would be surprised if Rosalind Russell didn't deserve Best Actress for playing the title role. It's difficult playing an eccentric character, as the natural inclination to to go too big and wild, or to just be "wacky." Russell (who played the role in the original Broadway production) is fun and offbeat, but she still maintains an emotional connection with the audience because she's still acts like a plausible human being. Her terrific performance is the main attraction here.
-This is a genuinely funny, bawdy and sweet movie for the most part-it's a comedy that definitely has some heart to it
-The production design is a lot of fun: Russell has on about 30 dresses and hairstyles throughout the course of the movie, and her appartment changes designs at least 8-9 times, each being more over the top than the last. The whole movie is stylish, including the unusual artistic decision that comes from its stage roots-many scenes end with a fade to black and a spotlight on Russell and I thought it worked here.
-The movie is about being a free spirit and living life instead of just following the beaten path-this is fine, but the vast majority of people aren't wealthy heiresses/children who inherited a massive fortune from their deceased father. These characters are divorced from any kind of common reality that a normal person might live it, so the message has some obvious counters to it from this perspective.
-At 2 hours, 23 minutes, it's a bit long for a comedy and some of the scenes go on too long (Mame meeting her boyfriend's family being the most obvious).
Really solid comedy with some heart, held together by an outstanding lead performance by Rosalind Russell
Rating: B

Introduction: Cell death is a central event in the pathogenesis of sepsis and is reflected by circulating nucleosomes. Circulating nucleosomes were suggested to play an important role in inflammation and were demonstrated to correlate with severity and outcome in sepsis patients. We recently showed that plasma can release nucleosomes from late apoptotic cells. Factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) was identified to be the plasma serine protease responsible for nucleosome release. The aim of this study was to investigate FSAP activation in patients suffering from various inflammatory diseases of increasing severity.Methods: We developed ELISAs to measure FSAP-C1-inhibitor and FSAP-α2-antiplasmin complexes in plasma. FSAP-inhibitor complexes were measured in the plasma of 20 adult patients undergoing transhiatal esophagectomy, 32 adult patients suffering from severe sepsis and 8 from septic shock and 38 children suffering from meningococcal sepsis.Results: We demonstrate plasma FSAP to be activated upon contact with apoptotic and necrotic cells by an assay detecting complexes between FSAP and its target serpins α2-antiplasmin and C1-inhibitor, respectively. By means of that assay we demonstrate FSAP activation in post-surgery patients, patients suffering from severe sepsis, septic shock and meningococcal sepsis. Levels of FSAP-inhibitor complexes correlate with nucleosome levels and correlate with severity and mortality in these patients.Conclusions: These results suggest FSAP activation to be a sensor for cell death in the circulation and that FSAP activation in sepsis might be involved in nucleosome release, thereby contributing to lethality. © 2011 Stephan et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

First, he was a child prodigy who talked at 7 months. Later, he did enough cocaine to kill a baby rhinoceros. In a new authorized biography titled Everything's Bigger in Texas: The Life and Times of Kinky Friedman, author Mary Lou Sullivan digs into the Texas Jewboy. And it turns out he's a delicate onion.
"I'm a different person every time I answer questions, no matter what they are. Sometimes I'm a psychopathic liar," Friedman begins.
What about today?
Today, I feel pretty mellow. This has really been a strange experience having a biography written on you, you know? You see these differing opinions and all that.
Did the author have to pull your teeth to get you onboard?
No, I agreed to do it, but I didn't quite realize how ... not that it was intense, but you want to be very honest with stuff, I think. At the same time, you don't want to get too personal, you know? I didn't know a lot of that stuff until I read the book.
There were surprises when you read it?
Yeah, I didn't know my brother felt that way. Or how Ratso [Larry Sloman] or Dylan [Ferrerro, Texas Jewboys' road manager] felt. They carried the narrative well, those guys.
There's the Justin Biebers and Barry Manilows and people that'll make more money than God. Then there are careers that really are interesting in that they seem very quixotic. Mine was like that. Maybe I thought I had a chance of really being a mainstream success. When you look at it, that's pretty ridiculous. It's a long shot.
In the book, you come across as much more complicated than your public persona would have people believe, like a yarn ball of contradictions.
I got the sense ... look, you never know. I could be doing a biography of you, and you wouldn't know if I was at a typewriter typing, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," a thousand times like Jack Nicholson.
Or if I was writing something great about you or something ridiculous, or something that says that everybody loves Rachel or everyone hates her. That makes a bad biography. We all know the story.
"The guy's a big success and everybody says great things about him." This is not one of those. I thought this was pretty accurate. It would be ironic if this book turns out to be a real financial pleasure, which it looks like it's going to for Mary Lou Sullivan. I've written nearly 40 books, and this one, the one I didn't write, is the one that really hit. [Laughs.] I think it's gonna do very, very well.
I think she [Sullivan] did a really good job because you get a good taste of the music business, too, and of the road. And a lot of the celebrity shit — what it's like to be a band that's barely getting by, just trying to make it. Then there's the drugs and all that shit.
Had you ever spoken about that period of your life before? I mean on the record and with such candor?
You know, maybe not. It wasn't that I was particularly hiding it or anything like that. But I'd say it was most of the '80s for sure. You're not gonna turn down Levon Helm or Eric Clapton or somebody like that saying, "Here, have a line here, Kinky." At least I wasn't going to. I stopped about 1985 or '86.
But I really was a death magnet for a while. People that were closest to me all seemed to be very vulnerable people who died young and broke: John Lee Hooker, Woody Guthrie. I haven't known any real assholes that died young, you know, of a drug overdose. All the bad guys, like Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, live to be 93 or older.
That's why I advise people to be a little more of an asshole if they can. Because it does seem to give you more longevity. On the other hand, as Bill Cosby's life will attest, longevity has ruined as many men as it's made. If Bill Cosby had died 10 years ago, he'd be a national hero. Now he's just another predator.
Speaking of predators, what do you think about all these perverts?
Well, the interview Matt Lauer did with Bill O'Reilly is fun to watch. Did you see that? It's amazing. Now, look, does Matt Lauer realize that he is exactly like Bill O'Reilly and he just got Bill O'Reilly on the spot so he can do that? Or does he not think he's like Bill O'Reilly?
If you have your own TV show and you've got a limo and all that, there's plenty of women around, so why are they picking only the ones on their staff? The ones that are trying to make it in television or the movies or whatever, the ones that they think they can control? It's all about power and control for those guys.
I find it enjoyable because most of these guys are stuffed shirts. We don't need to pick on him especially, but six months ago, we were toying with doing a TV show, and the people that were putting it all together said, "It'll be like Charlie Rose. He owns his own shows; he does this and that. He's really the gold standard."
Tell me about this TV show.
It's a talk show. We may still do it. All I know is that I would be the most self-absorbed interviewer in the world, so maybe that would be something different. I might be humorous. A lot of the people that I would like to bring on it would be very diverting and insightful.
Like who?
People like Willie and Billy Bob Thornton and Dwight Yoakam, so people could see another side of them.
But you see, these guys I know never did this power-tripping stuff. My friend Don Imus was on the radio forever. He never did any of this shit. He said he fired people and hired people, but never did he use his power over them or threaten their careers.
You must have named your new record Spitfire after your favorite feral cat.
Yeah. It will be out in a few months. These are the 12 new songs I wrote when Willie advised me to turn off Matlock on TV. He said, "Turn off Matlock, start writing." That was at about 3 o'clock in the morning, and in a very short period of time I had written these songs. When you hear them, you'll wonder, as I do, wherever the hell they were all this time.
Because you're 73 and they're just now coming out?
I cannot believe I'm 73. It's unbelievable.
Well, congratulations.
I don't act like it, you know? I'm very immature. I think immaturity has saved me.
If you hadn't become a writer/singer-songwriter/animal rescuer/general disrupter, what do you think you would have done with your life?
Well, I think we're all drawn to occupations we're hideously ill suited for. I would've been a good teacher, I think. Or maybe a shrink — that would've been fun. But I'm telling you, these original songs, they've been percolating for decades. They are not satirical or funny. I think it's the best stuff I've done. Did you see the review that professor wrote for the show at McCabe's Guitar Shop, the night after Poor David's when I went to Los Angeles?
No, but I guess you liked it?
Yeah, the Ph.D. gave a review that was rather amazing. Anyway, those are reviews. Reviews are one thing. If you want to die in obscurity in the gutter somewhere, then read your reviews.
But you don't have a computer. How did you read it?
It was shown to me by a friend. I don't know, being 73 and playing, I guess it's a good thing. It's something to do.
Have you had stalkers?
A stalker.
Oh, a stalker. Yes. A couple of times. It's very, very tedious. I can't imagine how bad it is for Bob Dylan and those guys, Jesus Christ. Actually, it's not that bad for me. I mean, I like to meet people and talk to them. I'm a social butterfly, so I usually wind up meeting most of the audience at my shows. Even the stalkers have pity in their eyes while they're looking at me.
Oh, come on. How are your animals?
They're doing pretty well. We're going to be closing our doors [on Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch] in mid-December because we're all getting older, including the animals. We're taking them down to Austin Pets Alive, which is a great outfit that sees that everybody gets a happy home.
Will you stay in Me-die-na?
You mean Me-dee-na?
I don't know. I've been giving serious thought to getting the hell out of here. I've spent a lot of time here at the ranch, both alone and with people. I don't know, whatever. I think I want to go somewhere else for a while. I just lost one of my dogs. He was a poodle, a small, white poodle who really stole my heart. I'd never had a poodle before, a dog that sits right next to you when you're sitting in a chair, you know?
His name was Mr. P. He came to me from a guy who was dying, who had to check into M.D. Anderson. He said if he lived, he would come back for Mr. P, and if he didn't, I'd take care of him.
Mr. P bit me twice the first day, bit the shit out of me. Then he warmed up, and he and I became very, very close. He was very protective of me. Anyway, I think he ran off to die. I think that's what happened. We have not been able to find him.
You can hear the coyotes at night and wild pigs and stuff. It's been two weeks now. It hit me so fucking hard. More so than when I lost my parents. I've lost a lot of people that I've loved. And I've loved many people in my life; that's why I think I'm a lucky man. Mr. P is certainly at the top of the list.
I'm really sorry. What about your dog Sophie?
Sophie's great. Sophie, she's my rock. She's blind and deaf. She runs this house like you wouldn't believe. She goes outside; we go for little walks and stuff. There's two others, Winston Randolph Spencer Churchill Friedman, who's a middle-aged beagle, and Luigi, the youngest. He had the misfortune of being a fucking pedigreed dog. Now he's happy and doing well.
There's an entire chapter in the book about your 1975 Austin City Limits performance that's never been aired on account of being too offensive. You're the only such case, as far as I can tell.
At the time, it seemed like a real career breaker, you know? They told me just do what I normally do and they'll edit it. Instead, they went to the media with it and said, "This is the first show we've ever had to cancel because it's so offensive." [Friedman performed with the Texas Jewboys at ACL wearing a Native American headdress. Folk singer Buffy St. Marie ran up from the audience, screaming, took it off Friedman's head, and disappeared with it.] I saw the damn thing a couple of years ago. It was on sale at the Austin airport. I bought a copy. It is tame by today's standards. I mean, really tame.
So I don't know why they did that. I don't know why I did what I did, either. I guess I got into music to express myself and to convey the truth as I saw it in music.
Bob Dylan himself told me that he picked up a guitar to get laid, which makes sense. The guy who sits down to write the great American novel never does that. I'm telling you, if a guy ever says, "I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna paint my masterpiece," he never will. It's always done by a guy who wants to get laid or somebody like Van Gogh, who was just trying to pay his rent. He didn't think he would ever be rich. There were Justin Biebers who really were successful in Van Gogh's day. But we don't even know their names. We can't even Google them.
How did you first hook up with Bob Dylan in the the early '70s?
I went out to Roger McGuinn's house one night in L.A. It was very mysterious because we had to go to the end of the Santa Monica Pier; then this baby blue Cadillac convertible would pick us up and take us to this designation. This was me and Dylan Ferrero. Kris [Kristofferson] was there. And Bob was singing "Ride 'Em Jewboy" in the kitchen. He was drunk. We had a little conversation with him and hung out with these guys for a while.
Then we spent time together in Yelapa, the island off Mazatlan in Mexico. That was in '76 with Dennis Hopper and Bob and me. Spent a couple of weeks out there.
Is Willie still your shrink?
Yeah. He's a pretty damn good shrink. Recently, he told me his goal in life is to get to the next big town without slashing his wrists. Then he said, "Never give them everything you've got." That's good advice to somebody who's performing music, you know? You've seen these guys … Leonard Cohen did it. He played for four and a half hours. Gave them everything he had. You shouldn't do that.
Do you get tired, after all these years, of answering the same interview questions? Do you just ever want to say …
Piss off, mate? No, not really. I rather enjoy it. Some writers I talk to are very interesting people. I find you insufferably dull, but no. You just have to watch it when you get real exhausted so you're not telling the same anecdote twice in one interview. That's a sign that you're running too much on pure adrenaline.
[The topic migrates back to Matt Lauer.]
It's exciting. I like it. It's an ongoing story. And Garrison Keillor. He's always been a stuffed shirt, you know? But Lauer's interview with Bill O'Reilly was just terrific. Can you imagine that?
I mean the fact that he said, "Those five women that came forward to complain about you, can you imagine the courage that took with you, the biggest guy ... ." He was talking about himself, Lauer was!

I just think it's amazing. I think a guy that can look at you like that, I mean … Lauer must be like a sociopath. Or a guy who sees how other people laugh, so then he laughs that way.
How in the hell can he be grilling Bill O'Reilly about that when he knows damn well he was doing precisely the same thing?
What are you listening to these days?
I'm listening to the final rough mix of Spitfire, making sure I like it. I think most of the songs were percolating through my life for years, but if you heard them you wouldn't know that I had written them.
As Billy Joe Shaver says, "I'm cursed to be born a serious soul nobody takes seriously." That may be changing.

Radiant tubes (radiation tubes) in Kanthal® APM and Kanthal® APMT iron-chromium-aluminium alloys (FeCrAl alloys) available as complete ready-to-install assemblies according to almost any customer specification.
We provide, for example, welding of flange and bottom or distance spacers to the radiant tubes. The Kanthal program also includes U and W shaped radiant tubes.
Longer service life
Radiant tubes in Kanthal® APMT and Kanthal® APM FeCrAl alloys offer several advantages compared to ceramic tubes, silicon carbide tubes and nickel-chromium (NiCr) alloy-based tubes.
User benefits include superior resistance to, for example, carburization, thermal shock, sagging and distortion. This is due to the materials' excellent mechanical properties and their capability of forming a dense and adhesive oxide film that protects against corrosion and atmospheric attack.
The lifetime of radiant tubes in Kanthal® APMT and Kanthal® APM is often many times longer than that of NiCr alloy-based tubes.

I want to one day live in a world where I can walk down the health and wellness aisle of a store, and trust that anything I pick up is telling the truth! Apparently, in this day and age, that is far too much to ask.
Do you shop at Walgreens, Walmart, GNC or Target?
Well, you might want to rethink your choice to buy supplements at these 4 national retailers. In 2015 these stores were exposed for selling bogus, potentially harmful herbal supplements to their customers. These "supplements" that claim to be full of healthy herbal mixtures are in fact full of "cheap fillers" that include:
- – Common house plants
- – Radish
- – Wheat
- – Soy
- – Beans
- – Peas
- – Legumes
- – Rice
This mislabeling has caused many trusting Americans to buy these rip-off supplements in hopes of a healthier diet. One of the most alarming facts about the mislabeling is that many of the "filler" ingredients are common allergens!
The 4 Bogus Supplements:
1. GNC Herbal Supplements
Some GNC brand supplements have been proven to contain soybeans and peanuts; both common allergens!
2. Target's St John's Wort, Valerian Root and Ginkgo Biloba
These 3 "herbal supplements" contained ZERO herbal ingredients. Instead, they were stuffed with beans, carrots, peas and rice.
3. Walmart's Memory-Boosting Ginkgo Biloba
This popular supplement contained radishes and wheat. To top it off, this specific supplement claimed to be gluten-free and wheat-free!
4. Walgreen's Ginseng Supplements
This particular pill contained zero traces of ginseng and instead consisted of powdered rice and garlic.
How to Choose a Good Supplement for Health Benefits
- Purchase it from a health food store, not a drugstore
- Don't just go for the cheapest option
- Get recommendations from a practitioner. They can tell you the right dose and type (e.g. there are over 6 types of magnesium! A doctor can help you know you're getting the right one or the one that's most absorbable)
- Avoid supplements loaded with too many fillers or binders (one or two is alright, but shouldn't be a laundry list)
- Avoid supplements with artificial colors and dyes

Schedule and Take the PMP Certification Exam
PDF Download: The Complete PMI PMP Certification Guide 2020 can be downloaded as a PDF file.
After you have successfully settled the PMP® Certification fee or completed the PMP® application audit (if you have been unfortunately selected), you will receive an approval email / audit verification confirmation email from PMI. The email contains the PMI Eligibility ID which enables you to schedule your PMP® exam session at the Pearson VUE (you have already paid the PMP® Exam fee, so there is no need to pay again at Prometric).
Do act fast to book your preferred exam session as exam seats are limited and confirmed on a first-come-first-served basis.
Article Highlights
Fix a Date for Your PMP® Exam at Pearson VUE
Pearson VUE is a global provider of testing services and is considered one of the most trusted examination administration body. Only examinations that require the highest level of quality assurance and security would make use of Pearson VUE.
As said, you can find the PMI Eligibility ID in the email sent to you by PMI. This PMI Eligibility ID is also recorded on the myPMI section of PMI website in case you have lost the email. Do keep this PMI Eligibility ID in a safe place as it enables to book PMP® exam session online without further payment (you have already paid the PMP® Certification fee to PMI already). One strange thing is that you may not be able to find the URL to book for the PMP® exam in the email from PMI. The Pearson VUE URL is buried deep inside the Exam Scheduling Instructions PDF file.
On the Pearson VUE website, you will be able to search for an exam centre with seats available based on your preferred time and date. Do try to get to know the transportation arrangement to the exam center before choosing one. The term "Schedule an Appointment" is used on the website to mean schedule your PMP® exam section. Follow the on-screen instructions. You will need to have your PMI Eligibility ID and the first four letters of your last name to verify your eligibility status. After you have selected and confirmed a suitable exam slot, you will be presented with the examination confirmation details. There is no need to copy this as you will also receive this in email.
It is advisable, though not required, to print out the exam confirmation information for your PMP® exam and bring it to the exam centre. Accidents do happen. I have once read that when one PMP® exam candidate arrived at the exam centre, the centre staff told him that they did not receive his booking. He had to phone Pearson VUE customer care immediately with his confirmation number to re-arrange the exam.
In Case You Need to Reschedule the PMP® Exam
Changes may be inevitable. In case you need to reschedule your confirmed PMP® exam session, do it as soon as possible. You are allowed to reschedule your exam date up to 2 days before your actual exam (fees apply if it is within 30 days of the scheduled booking). You will just need to go to the Pearson VUE website to carry out an appropriate action. The PMP® exam reschedule fee is arranged as follows:
- Beyond 30 days (not including the PMP® exam date): free of charge
- Within 30 days and 2 days before the exam (not including the exam date): US$70
- Within 2 days: no refund, all fees forfeited, you will have to pay the re-exam fee in full to schedule another exam session
Advice On the Scheduled Date of PMP® Exam
- Arrive early at the examination centre (better 30 minutes earlier), especially if you need to travel far to the examination centre as the traffic condition may not be predictable. If you were late for the exam, you may be refused to enter and have booked another session by paying the re-exam fee. It is advised to book a hotel room near the exam centre to save you from the traffic jam and allow you to relax. Or you can visit the exam centre a day before the actual PMP® exam to more accurately estimate the transportation time.
- Check the Pearson VUE website again about your exam venue. Some PMP® aspirants have reported that the exam venue was relocated after they have booked the exam session but the information has not been passed to the candidates. Or you can phone the exam centre to confirm the correctness of the address.
- In case you encounter any irregularities before or during your PMP® exam (e.g. power outage, evacuation, etc.), stay calm. Contact PMI or Pearson VUE customer care for direction. Ask the centre staff to give you some sort of written proof of the situation. Don't leave the exam centre without it.
PMP® Exam Taking Strategies
To attempt such a mind-wrecking 4 hours 200 questions exam as PMP®, you will need to have a good exam taking strategy. The following outlines the most effective ways to tackle multiple choices questions. Choose ones that suit your style.
- Question First – read the question in full, think of the correct answer before reading the answer choices, this allows you not to be confused by the answer choices
- Answers First – this is the reverse of question first technique, suitable for wordy and lengthy questions. Read the answer choices first and then read the question. You will have a better knowledge of what keywords to look for when reading the questions.
- Eliminate – according to the experience of PMP® exam takers, out of the four choices for each question two answers are usually obviously wrong. Just cross out these two answers and focus of the difference between the remaining two answers and look for hints from the question.
- Look out for "Absolutes" – absolutes in the answers are usually wrong, do look out for them. Absolutes include "always", "all", "never", "none", "only", etc.
- Read Through – you read the question word by word from the beginning of the question to the end of the answer choices, this is what most candidates will do
And for the calculation questions:
- Calculate First – read the question and choose the correct PMP® formula, calculate your own answer before even reading the choices provided
- Calculate Back – if you are not sure how to calculate, work backwards by reading the answer choices first and try to fit the number provided into an appropriate PMP® formulas
What's Next?
Hopefully, you have well prepared for the PMP® exam and you will surely pass it. You are immediately a PMP®!

4 May 2017, 10:47
Why can't all of our meals be just like this?
#CapitalBreakfastWithRomanKemp - it's kind of a big deal. We've had Ed Sheeran and Anne-Marie stop by for a chat; Sean Paul, Dua Lipa and Harry Styles have all rang in to wish the guys luck, and now... This.
We wanna make Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp all about you guys, which is why we've introduced Capital Firsts. This week, Emma, a massive Charlie Puth fan, said it would be her dream to get the 'Attention' singer to serenade her over her morning meal. So that's what we did.
> WATCH: Ed Sheeran Called Roman Kemp's Mum To Beg For Forgiveness Over THAT Tattoo
After Vick armed Emma with a bowl of cereal, the magic happened - Charlie Puth popped up on a massive screen, and wooed us all by not only singing a song; but coming up with (an albeit unique) personalised melody about Emma's breakfast.
And yes, sometimes she does put sugar on her cereal.
Don't mind us - we're just here, making dreams come true and that. Emma seemed pretty damn happy with her Capital Firsts wish coming true, and it could be you next.
We hope you LOVED @charlieputh's vocals... And, plus, you got a free bowl of cereal. Everyone's a winner on #CapitalBreakfastWithRomanKemp https://t.co/oSpdCSlKE6— Capital (@CapitalOfficial) May 4, 2017

By Candice McQueen, Tennessee Education Commissioner
This past Friday, on my most recent Classroom Chronicles visit, I had the honor of spending the day with teachers, administrators, and students in Giles County and Franklin Special School District. It was a pleasure to celebrate the final day of Teacher Appreciation Week in the classrooms of our talented teachers and bright students. I was inspired to hear students explain why they value their teachers and how their teachers have inspired them to grow and learn.
May 6 also marked an important moment on my Classroom Chronicles tour. As of Friday's visit, I've met with over 10,600 teachers, in 121 schools, in 74 districts. I kicked off this tour just over a year ago with a visit to my home district, Clarksville-Montgomery County. At this time, I set the goal of connecting with 10,000 teachers across the state because I believe it's important for leaders to listen and learn from teachers. While I'm humbled to say I've had the opportunity to engage with so many of our talented teachers, the goal wasn't really about the number – it was about the journey along the way, and it's been an incredible journey.
In Hamblen County, I was encouraged to see students connected to the local business community, as they learned job skills while working toward a Work Ethic Diploma. At Moore Magnet Elementary in Clarksville, I saw teachers creating interactive classroom environments, with high levels of student engagement. In Trousdale County, I saw dedicated counselors who have been instrumental in creating a culture focused on postsecondary opportunities, and beginning these discussions with students early in their academic careers. When I visited Sherwood Middle School, a Shelby County school within the district i–Zone, students shared with me that their teachers have high expectations for their academic performance and behavior. These are just a few highlights from a tour that has allowed me to engage with incredible leaders and teachers across the state, working together to ensure all students learn and grow.
While the exceptionally strong schools I've visited have all been unique, they also have had quite a bit in common. Our best schools have teachers who are laser-focused on students. These teachers are highly engaged in their own learning and can be seen collaborating with one another to ensure all students are progressing toward their goals. This translates into students who are also highly engaged, as the respond to high expectations and opportunities to work with one another and think critically. Teachers and students in the best schools are also united by strong leaders who are focused on measurable student growth and positive outcomes for all students. These leaders set a vision aligned to the state's vision and their communities' needs while proactively and creatively using all possible methods to support this vision.
As I reach this milestone on my Classroom Chronicles tour and reflect on teacher appreciation week, I want to extend a special thanks to those of you who have welcomed me into your districts, your schools, and your classrooms. I also want to thank the department's Teacher Advisory Council and the Governor's Teacher Cabinet. These groups are comprised of outstanding teacher leaders who regularly share candid feedback and thoughtful solutions with leadership. I'm also appreciative of the hundreds of educators who have been involved in critical work with standards and assessment. Whether it's item review, range finding, content coaching, or standards review work with the State Board, I'm deeply appreciative and proud of the educators who offer their time and expertise to some of the most critical parts of our work. Finally, thank you to all Tennessee teachers for your dedication to your craft and a sincere devotion to your students. I look forward to meeting many more of you as I continue my travels.

text: New Jersey...Gov. Christie has made massive cuts to curb the deficit that has been racked up by liberal democrats and entitlement spending for two decades. Many protest, especially the public school system and others (Greece style). Guess what? He has turned the ship around and being fiscally responsible. NJ will be the shining star very soon and will have a balanced budget, no debt and a prosperous state. Little is heard of Ireland. They are in debt big time...but the leaders have implemented cuts across the board that was hard at first, but have made tremendous progress with the banks and have cut the guberment down. Ireland will be another shining star in a world of the G20 who wants to tax everything. The best of Greece with the IMF loan....is that they DEMAND they privatize health care b/c it has got'n out of control. Also 1 in 3 work for the guberment in Greece. They cannot and never will pay their bills. EVER! They are so in the hole it is impossible to pay off the guberment bonds/bills/pensions/entitlements. So, here in the USA, what do we have? Obamacare....which is a total failure. He has has put us in debt 8x than under Bush. In fact, he has spent more money than all the great President's combined!!! Bush spent a lot...and not happy about it...but he spent with wars, just like in WWI and WWII. Obama and the power hungry politicians want to spend all our money to get votes. More nipples on the guberment roles = votes. The EU and ECB fallout will end the liberal, socialized mentality...and will end Obama. The USA debt is $50T...that includes our unfunded liabilities....off balance sheet (ENRON) debts. Lastly, do you know who holds the #2 of our debt? think about it....think about it...... It is the US guberment. Intra-guberment holdings is #2 behind China. Well, how can that be? It's the ponzi scheme of stealing money from SS and Medicare/Cade. It's all broke. Last thing to think about....Fiat Money in history has always collapsed....most it lasted was 250 years. Guess what? Look at the EU and the USA and make up your mind. Look at Cali...they are Greece(liberal dem's have spent it into BK11). My cousin's and Aunt live there say it is a total disaster. Thank God I live in Texas...no state income tax, no housing crisis (my home has gone up in value since 2007). In fact, Texas has the best economy in the nation. Stok

How To Make Fishing Lures by Vlad Evanoff
The Colorado blade is one of the most popular blades. Designed by John J. Hilderbrant, in 1899, it has been catching fish, for almost 100 years. Due to the Colorado blades being almost round in shape it has a large amount of water resistance and a rotation angle around the spinner shaft at about 50 degrees. Use the Colorado blade for slow retrieve situations and light currents.
It is a popular blade for walleye spinner harnesses, spinnerbaits, Colorado spinners, weighted spinners and of course the popular unweighted baitholder spinners.
Colorado blades are ideal when you require a spinnerbait that will buzz the surface on a slow retrieve and for free falling (helecoptering) spinnerbaits on short arms.
Deep Cut Colorado Blade
This blade is very similar to the Colorado blade in shape. It is almost round in shape except it has a deep cut on the bottom of the blade. This deep cut enables the blade to spin at very very slow retrieves.
Use the deep cut Colorado Blade for extremely slow rolling spinnerbaits and walleye harnesses when you will drift or backtroll very slowly and require the blade to spin. Don't forget to use them on bass when the water is cool in the late fall.
The Indiana blade is slightly more narrow than the Colorado blade and has a rotation angle of about 40 degrees. It is used on all lures that the Colorado blade is used on. Use for situations where a slow to medium retrieve is required.
Due to the blade being slightly more narrow than the Colorado blade, it is very popular in current situations. The flash given from this blade is greater than with the Colorado blade.
The Indiana Blade is great for walleye harnesses and spinnerbaits where more flash and less vibration is required.
The willowleafblade is a very long narrow blade. It spins very close to the shaft and has an angle of rotation of about 20 degrees. The blade spins very fast and tight to the shaft so it is ideal for quick retrieves and swift currents on weighted spinners. Due to the tight spin, it gives a lot of flash. It's most popular use is on spinnerbaits, lake trolls and extra large bucktail spinners for big pike and musky.
Use the willowleaf when speed and flash are needed. It will allow you to get deeper than any other blade on quick retreives because there is minimal lift from this blade. The willowleafblade will maximize flash because of the tight angle of rotation.
The willowleaf is fantastic on spinnerbaits when fishing weedlines because this long slender blade seldom gets hung up on grass, weeds or brush.
When the game fish are feeding on minnows use a willowleaf blade to imitate the flash of the shinny bait fish.
The French blade was developed in France over fifty years ago. Since then it has been most commonly referred to as the French blade. It is used many of popular weighted spinners. The French blade is used on more trout spinners than any other blade. This blade's angle of rotation is about 40 degrees. The idea is the recessed domed blade creates a fish-calling sonic effect. This blade is a medium depth running blade and is good for still to slow moving currents.
The French blade is generally use on weighted trout spinners in sizes 0 to 3. It is also very popular with pike and musky anglers in the larger sizes on bucktail spinners. Although not very popular on spinnerbaits it does work extremely well for bass and pike when rigged on spinnerbaits.
The swing and ripple blades are both transplants from Europe. They are used on many very popular spinners. It is quite similar to the willowleaf blade except that they are more rounded on the ends. One brand alone sells over 7 million spinners annually. Both blades have an angle of rotation of about 20 degrees. They are good for quick
retrieves and swift currents. Little lift is created by these blades so they will run deep with properly weighted bodies. The ripple blade is different in that it will reflect light in all directions because of the unique bends in the blade.
Sonic In-Line Blade & Pro Sonic In-Line Blade
The Sonic In-Line blade, originally from Italy, is a uniquely //II § |j\\\ designed blade. It is the one of the few self clevising blades. The / III //In in-line blade does not require a devise to attach to the spinner [ l\\Vw/y/I shaft. The Sonic in-line blade has a direct to shaft rotation giving I \V/J this blade the ultimate in spinner vibration. It spins extremely fast \ \\ /J i around the shaft which produces a lot of flash. The sonic in-line \ /
blade is the standard blade found on the popular Italian spinner \ /
while the pro sonic in-line blade is a redesigned version of the original.
The pro in-line blade has a ridge somewhat similar to the French blade. Is stamped out of a heavier gauge 0.025" and creates a louder more fish attracting vibration. It is not available in as many sizes as the more popular traditional sonic in-line blade.
The in-line blades are popular on weighted spinners for trout in smaller sizes and bass, pike and musky in the larger monster sizes.
The fluted blade is a much sought after blade in the bass, pike and musky angler community. Many musky and pike spinner manufacturers use this exact blade in the manufacture of their oversized pike and musky bucktail spinners. This is the largest blade we sell and boy do we sell a lot of them. It's design is similar to an Indiana blade that has been somewhat longated with diagonal ripples down the back half of the blade.
The ripples create extra flash and vibration. The angle of rotation is about 37 degrees and it creates a lot of lift because of its large size.
The ripple effect creates a different sort of turbulence and a lot more resistance in the water. This is definitely the blade for big bass, pike and musky. I don't think there is a single musky hunter out there who does not have a dozen or so big fluted musky spinners ready at all times.
June Bug Blade
The June bug blade is considered by many as an old timers blade. Originally used as a bait hook spinner (unweighted spinner with a removable hook locked in place with a coil spring or hook snap wire shaft). The angle of rotation is derived from an adjustable | arm attachment which come from the centre of the blade to the j shaft. The shaft passes through a hole in the from of the bade and ' then the arm attachment (no clevise is used), the adjustment of the arm determines the angle of rotation. The major advantage of this blade is it can be retrieved at any speed and will always spin at the correct angle.
Propeller Blade
Propeller blades are amazing little blades. They are generally available in two styles, pointed and round and in several sizes.
Every angler should have a few ready to put to use. Propeller blades will spin rapidly at the slightest movement. Excellent for use on crawler harnesses, various spinners, and both surface and underwater plugs.

text: This afternoon I decided to take off my gel polish at home and it was a total disaster. Probably my biggest beauty blunder moment in a long, long time. I was so prepared, I had all the bits and bobs and my confidence was at the level of 'I've watched nail ladies do this to my nails over a hundred times so I know exactly what I'm doing'. But it turns out taking off my gel polish is not something that I should be doing at home. And something I don't think I'll ever be doing again. Continue reading

Machine Knit Lace
September is almost over and I've not posted to my blog once this month. Hopefully I'll reform here sooner or later. I have been knitting, but mostly trying out new things and doing swatches.
I decided that the lace patterns in the Stitchworld manual look a little different than when knitted in person. So, I'm making a notebook. Have just 4 done so far:
I'm working on a lace edged "shawlette" that will have about 4 inches of lace at the bottom. It needs a scalloped edge so I was looking for the most exaggerated scallop I could find. I won't be able to block it very much since the fiber content will be cotton, so I'm thinking the more scallopy the better. I guess I'm leaning toward the last swatch. It's a combination of normal lace and fine lace. In fine lace the stitches are transferred but there is no yarn-over type of hole left behind. That would be the straight stitch up the middle of the motif. Haven't done that before. I am not advanced enough in programming lace into the machine so I'm going with the patterns in Stitchworld II and III. I've learned that the lace holes pull up on the knitting and the stockinette stitches push downward. Some of the lace patterns make a straight edge, some have this natural wave. They're all pretty, though. It's hard to decide!!
The multi-colored swatch is the yarn I'll actually be using. It's pale green, but I plan to paint it with Dylon dye, as I did the swatch. Not sure of the colors I'll use, but something like this.
Some things I've learned about lace: 1) you can't program lace into the Brother 970 machine. You have to enter it as a fairisle pattern and then know when to run the knit carriage 2) If you enter a pattern into DAK and then from DAK to your machine, DAK can screw up things. Since DAK has been told it's a fairisle pattern, it flips it sideways. You have to flip it back to make it work. Your machine might be very unhappy knitting the pattern backwards. Found that out the hard way. 3) Even weight on the knitting is a must.
Mary Anne Oger figured out a way to use the ribber comb to weight her lace knitting evenly across. You cast on with waste yarn, every other needle, push the teeth of the ribber comb up between the stitches, push through the wire and let it drop. Hang the necessary weights, push the other stitches back into working position. Knit a few inches of waste yarn and then do a permanent cast on with the main yarn. It works like a charm. I haven't had dropped stitches since using her method. If you haven't already seen her blog, it's a great resource. Needles to say....
Once I decide on the lace pattern, it won't take long to knit my "shawlette". I've already charted out the shaping. More on my progress later...

I of course read the documentation, but my English-foo is too weak to understand that ( for sure it is possible for ACSI images, but how about IDE's? ) so I decided to check it.
I have an image done through dd and when trying to attach it in Hatari it doesnt boot. It seems that it starts to read from the image as under Atari logo at boot I see:

But it stops there.

Surfing: Hang Ten
The ocean is a force of nature that refuses any effort to tame it. To throw one's self on the mercy of this beast is a courageous act. With the help of this trick guide, you can learn to harness that power and push your water-borne adventures to new heights. See how to
perform a headstand on a surfboard.
Trick: Headstand
Difficulty: Hard
1. Aloha! The "Mystical" Headstand has been an integral part of surfing since it's beginning.
2. Only the finest of surfers can do the "Mystical" Headstand.
3. A surfer must be riding centered, his shoulders squared, eyes looking forward.
4. Then, the surfer bends himself forward, placing his hands down as he places his hands on the surfboard.
5. He then becomes "inverted and erect" (aka head over heels)
6. After the surfer rides erect and completely straight up (again, head over heels) he should regain his original position.
7. If you don't regain your position and ride away, you haven't completed the head stand.
While you're stuck at home, make the most of your time by learning a new language, skill, or even train for a remote-work job with our new premium online courses.

text: Good day my fellow hunters. Just a quick question regarding shot placement...... As much as I trust the information found on this sight, I see that the Greater Kudu shot placement(heart vital area) is just behind the shoulder as I use the shot placement pics found here on the AH forum. However, when I use the book "The Perfect Shot" by Kevin Robertson, it shows perfect shot placement on the same animal to be straight up the leg and lower half of the body(roughly where this arrow made it's mark. I do apologize as I do not have the book with me while I am at work. My question is what shot placement guide should a bow hunter lean towards more? The book or this sight? I've heard nothing but good about both sources. Or is one better for the archery hunter as the other would be geared more for the rifle hunter? I do plan to ask my guide this as well. Just looking for input from others from around the world that have good feedback as I prepare for a bow hunt in Namibia this fall. Other species that I plan to target practice for in preparation for my hunt include Warthog, Blue Wildebeest, Gemsbok, Mountain Zebra, and Baboon. Thanks all, DL P.S. I do not look at the "10 ring" scoring lines on the target ;-)

Bikram yoga is a type of yoga exercise that takes place in a hot environment. The benefits of Bikram yoga can be divided into two categories. As with any exercise regimen, the most common benefit is that achieved in the body and health, the second benefit is for the mind.
Some of the benefits of Bikram yoga is to help people meet their health goals. Although yoga does not require any type of weight resistance training, it's ideal for losing excess weight and tone muscles throughout the body. The yoga allows the muscles and tendons stretch, based on a principle similar to isometric exercise. This means that the muscles used are contracted and relaxed, so, working on muscle tone.
As it can elevates the heart rate, it's an effective way to lose weight and keep it stable. It also makes good effects on the health of the heart and lungs, as well as all internal organs. The yoga classes are conducted under a hot environment. It basically has all the positive benefits of exercise, but a little higher as the heat ensures sweating. The sweat produced expells toxins of the body, weight loss becomes basically acts as a sauna, removing all impurities from the body through sweat, while allowing the person to increase their strength and endurance and its overall flexibility. The benefits to the mind are also present in the Bikram yoga.
The quiet and calm can be achieved easily, which helps relieve stress and tension that builds up by the bustle of everyday life. Also elemental level of concentration in the person. The ultimate benefit of healing can be achieved is a feeling of wellbeing, and be happier with the body and health, it helps to eliminate depression, anxiety and even anger.
The Benefits
- The clothing must be made of lycra or some elastic material.
- A bottle of water. As the session goes by, the Yoga heat increases the temperature in turn with our sweat. Drinking water during class will help to maintain fluid levels in the body.
- Towel. Most classes will give you one or two towels for a nominal fee. Most people bring their own. A large towel to cover the Yoga mat, and a small towel to rest.
- If you do not have a yoga mat, the class of Yoga can probably rent one.
- Clothes to change into after class. It is very likely that after the class your clothes are wet. Also bring hygiene items you want to use after the class, such as hair brush, wipes, etc.
- It is wonderful to shower after the class.

A 50+ wife and mother of 3 on her first solo trip away – what could possibly go wrong? Thanks to the kindness of strangers it was the most memorable Mother's Day possible. Two years ago but still so clear to me!
Last year on Mother's Day I arrived in London from Australia on the start to My Big Adventure. I was travelling on my own for 4 weeks, staying with my daughter and other friends, in UK, Denmark and Sweden. I love travelling and usually have my handy husband with me but unfortunately he wasn't able to come with me, so I was on my own. I'm very proud of how well I coped given that my first day was so eventful. This is my travel blog post from Mother's Day 2013, which shows just a fraction of the excitement and, looking back on it, I'm grateful all over again for the kindness that was shown to me by complete strangers.
It was an amazing Mother's Day and one I'll never forget.
Where do I start? Ok – last post I was getting ready to arrive & be let loose in London. At Heathrow airport I managed to…

A-Mill Artist Lofts
The A-Mill, situated along Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, held the title of largest flourmill in the world for 40 years. Completed in 1881, it was owned by Pillsbury and operated two of the most powerful direct-drive waterwheels ever built, each generating 1,200 horsepower (895 kW). The mill still stands today on the east side of the Mississippi River, and is currently being renovated into affordable artist rental lofts called A-Mill Artist Lofts by Dominium. Based in Minneapolis, Dominium owns, develops, and manages rental communities throughout the U.S. Dominium engaged Sustology as their sustainability consultant because they were interested in transforming the A-Mill into a state-of-the-art green building in its regeneration as a residence for artists.
Sustology coordinated a multidisciplinary effort to green this affordable housing development for artists via the US Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for New Construction program. To this end, Sustology promoted innovative strategies such as using Mississippi River water to heat and cool the building, retaining and reusing nearly all of the stormwater onsite, and properly disposing and recycling materials used by the artists.

Feeding Therapy at Kara Dodds & Associates
Picky Eaters Versus Problem Feeders
Children with feeding and swallowing problems have a wide variety of symptoms, and not all of these symptoms are presented in each child. Feeding deficits can be "Sensory" and/or "Developmentally-based", requiring an Occupational and/or Speech Pathologist to diagnosis and treat the specific feeding needs of the child.
Some of the more hallmark signatures of feeding difficulties in young children can be:
- Refusing food or is considered a "picky eater" (e.g. limited repertoire of food choices)
- Failure to thrive (e.g. weight gain / growth)
- Irritability (e.g. fussy) during feeding times
- Difficulty to accept or tolerate different textures of food (e.g., only pureed foods or crunchy cereals)
- Long feeding times (e.g., more than 30 minutes)
- Difficulty chewing, moving food around the mouth
- Pocket food in the cheeks
- Difficulty breast feeding
- Coughing or gagging during meals
- Frequent spitting up or vomiting
- Inability to transition to baby food by 10 months of age
- Inability to accept table food (e.g. solids) by 12 months
- Has not weaned off baby food by 16 months
- Inability to transition from breast milk / bottle to a cup by 16 months
If you have concerns regarding your child's feeding development contact our center to schedule an evaluation to determine current abilities and needs. Based on the evaluation, or therapists will develop recommendations and a treatment plan (e.g. individual, group feeding, parent consultation) specific your child.
Our therapists use an eclectic and holistic approach to improving feeding skills including integrating methods of: "Talktools", Susan Evan Morris (Pre Feeding Plan), and the SOS (Sequential-Oral-Sensory) Approach to feeding developed by Dr. Kay Toomey.
Therapy plans target improved:
- range of motion of the oral mechanism (e.g. lips, tongue, jaw)
- improved chewing
- increasing acceptance of different foods
- improved sucking and/or drinking abilities
- improving positive mealtimes experiences

Blueberry Coconut Smoothie
Sharing a super yummy smoothie recipe with you today! Very simple to make, as are most smoothies, and great to start your morning with or even enjoy as an afternoon snack!
Blueberry Coconut Smoothie
- 1 Large Banana
- 1 Handful of Spinach
- 1 Handful of Blueberries (add more if you'd like!)
- 1 Tablespoon of Cacao Powder (I use Sunfood Superfoods Cacao powder.)
- 1-2 Medjool Dates
- 1 Cup of Coconut Water (You can use the water right from a coconut or you can use bottle coconut water such as this brand.)
- 2 Ice Cubes
*Optional: You can also add actual coconut or coconut shreds to your smoothie to give it more texture and added flavor.
- First, wash your spinach and blueberries well.
- Then, soak your dates with warm water. Just for a minute or two. If you have a powerful blender such as a Vitamix of Blendtec you can skip this step but it definitely helps blend the dates better if you do soak them. :)
- Next, add all your ingredients into your blender.
- Blend & Enjoy! :)
*Note: The color of your smoothie will vary depending if you add more spinach, blueberries or cacao. The more spinach you add the more green your smoothie will be, the more cacao you add the more brownish and the more blueberries the more purpley it will be. You can always adjust the measurements to this recipe but I think you'll like it just as it is! :)
