Wild festival brawl sparks lockdown
A MUSIC festival director says the show will go on despite around 150 "loud and abusive" teenagers storming the event last week.
After being ejected, youths reportedly ran riot at a nearby pub and one of them attacked a police officer, leaving him with cuts to his face.
Nightjar Festival organiser Lyndelle Flintoft told news.com.au that the group caused chaos at the event in Torquay, Victoria, on Thursday night, but it was well-handled by security.
"They were being unpleasant basically, drinking heavily, a lot of them were intoxicated, they were kicking down signs, being abusive and abusing our security," she said.
"They were running amok, but about 99 per cent of our patrons were acting responsibly and had no idea what was going on."
Torquay Sergeant Tim Bennett also told The Age the group were running riot near the Torquay Hotel later that evening, where they hurled glass bottles at police cars.
Running each Thursday through January, the festival continues tomorrow night, and in response, Ms Flintoft said the number of security staff would be almost doubled to deal with any threats and increasing the height of the fence surrounding the licensed area.
"What happened was disappointing, but it doesn't affect the event and we are more than happy to take these steps to keep everybody safe," she said.
Inspector Peter Seel said the Torquay community can be assured that police will have increased patrols in the area to ensure the safety of local residents.
"It appears this is an isolated incident and we do not want families to be put off attending popular local events," he said.
"We want to reassure the community that we'll have extra police in the area targeting issues such as underage drinking and unruly behaviour.
"We have been working in consultation with local event organisers and extra precautions will be put in place where needed to ensure that everyone can enjoy themselves safely and continue visiting the Surf Coast as they do all year round."
In a Facebook statement, the festival organisers said: "Sadly, there was an element of not cool behaviour on Thursday night, not just at Nightjar but within the town, both prior and after the Nightjar Festival had finished.
"This Thursday night you'll notice extra fencing around the licensed area and further ID checks at licensed points and wristbands for ALL patrons over 18 - NO wristband NO service!
"All patrons under the age of 18 entering the licensed areas MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult - this means a parent, guardian or grandparent. We'll also be enforcing that there is no entry into the event if you've already been indulging a little too much!"
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said a 21-year-old from Melbourne, a 25-year-old from Whittington and a 21-year-old from Torquay were arrested and have been charged with being drunk in a public place and issued with a penalty infringement notice - following the incident last week.
A 17-year-old boy has also been arrested and is being charged on summons with assaulting a police officer, being drunk in a public place and other related offences.

Until September 11, most Americans knew very little about the Taleban rulers of Afghanistan. But even among experts, there can be strong disagreement over what kind of leaders they are.
Peter Tomsen was U.S. Special Envoy to the Afghan Resistance to the Soviet Occupation in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He likens the Taleban to modern history's worst political criminals such as the Nazi leader Adolph Hitler and the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. "We have to look at the Taleban, much as the President said the other night in his speech, as a totalitarian movement much like the Nazis or the Soviet communists where everything is viewed in black and white and where news outlets are strictly controlled to put out a certain message," he said. "It doesn't matter [to the Taleban] what is right or wrong, true or false, as long as it creates the impression that is wished [for]. That's the objective."
Syndicated journalist and south Asia expert Eric Margolis, the author of War At the Top of the World, resists the characterization of the Taleban in such terms. "This to me smacks of pre-war misinformation," he said. "It is obviously aimed at galvanizing Western support with special buzzwords like 'Nazis' and 'concentration camps' that the U.S. media would be sure to pick up and directing it against the Taleban. And this is a wild exaggeration. The Taleban are not Nazis. They are a backwards, primitive, narrow-minded mountain people who are not really that very much different from any other tribesmen in the rest of Afghanistan, in the north of Pakistan, in rural India or in Iran or, for that matter, in Saudi Arabia, where the Taleban would feel quite at home.
"So many Afghans supported the Taleban because they imposed order, however draconian it was, after years of chaos and rape and pillage after this seven-way civil war that had been raging between the Mujahadeen factions [resistance fighters] after the U.S. and the Western powers walked away from Afghanistan."
Mr. Tomsen counters that, while the present historical moment differs greatly from the Nazi and Stalinist eras, the Taleban leaders often use methods of control similar to those times. "If you are an Afghani who has lived for the past four or five years under Taleban rule, I think the totalitarian aspect of this would have come shining through," he says. "That is, the umbrella of rules and regulations backed up by military force not only against women but [also] against the population in general. There have been clips on television taken surreptitiously in the stadium of women being executed by the Taleban and men hanging from the goalposts. And of course you had the destruction of the Buddhas this treasure of Afghanistan."
Former Ambassador Tomsen was asked what the policy of the West should be toward a post-Taleban Afghanistan. "The objective should be Afghans themselves moving back to the cohesion [and] consensus they had in the 1960s when they had two parliamentary elections [and] the democracy in Afghanistan before the Soviet invasions [and] an attempt to agree on a coalition that will replace the Taleban in Afghanistan," he says. "And we don't [wish to] face a situation we faced in 1992 when the communist regime fell and the different factions in Afghanistan started to fight each other.
"If there is peace and stability in the country after the Taleban leave, then the international community could begin assistance to Afghanistan massive reconstruction aid -and the Afghans themselves could move toward self-determination."
Eric Margolis doubts that outcome could actually be achieved given Afghanistan's modern history. "The ethnic and social structure in Afghanistan was so destroyed by the Soviets. They had a policy of ethnic turbulence that the KGB ran, designed to turn tribes and clans against each other, [so] that the Afghans are having a very hard time to come to any kind of consensus and I don't see one developing any time soon," he says.

For years, multinational companies like
Claiming "presumption of fraud," French revenue officers visited Google's Paris headquarters in an effort to determine whether the company's tax maneuvers were appropriate. Google got their answer last month when they were slapped with a reportedly massive tax assessment. The company disclosed the existence of the assessment last week in a filing made with the Securities and Exchange Commission but did not reveal a dollar (or, perhaps more accurately, Euro) figure.
There are two things that we clearly do know about the assessment:
1. Google expected the hit, writing:
In March 2014, we received a tax assessment from the French tax authorities. We believe an adequate provision has been made and it is more likely than not that our tax position will be sustained. However, it is reasonably possible that resolution with the French tax authorities could result in an adjustment to our tax position.
2. The number is big. French media is reporting that the number is between €500 million and €1 billion ($693 million - $1.3 billion U.S.). That's in the ballpark of the number most tax pundits had placed the liability at last year, based on information reported by Le Monde.
For its part, Google has continued to stick to its script, maintaining that it has paid all the taxes it owes. Last year, in a similar battle with tax authorities in the UK, Google stated, "As we've always said, Google complies with all the tax rules in the UK and it is the politicians who make those rules."
An appeal is expected. But how successful Google would be at appeal is a good question. Tax, trade and transparency have been major themes across Europe of late and were key consensus issues at the 2013 G8 Summit. With that, governments across the world have renewed efforts to step up compliance against companies that are said to be dodging taxes and France is at the forefront of the charge.
Earlier this year, fast food giant McDonald's was visited by tax authorities in Paris on allegations of shifting over €2.2 billion ($3.01 billion US) in income to companies set up in Switzerland and Luxembourg for the purpose of tax avoidance.
While France has stepped up its game in the war on tax evasion (the President of France, François Hollande, was elected based largely on a platform of economic equality), investigations into tax schemes aren't restricted to companies operating in France. In Italy, fashion houses Prada and Dolce & Gabbana were dinged for tax bills in the millions.
In the UK, Starbucks became the target of public outrage when it was revealed that since 1998, the company only paid a total of £8.6m ($11.5 million US) in corporate income taxes. Since that time, the company has changed course, making a pitch directly to the public about its new tax strategies which include not claiming "tax deductions for royalties or payments related to our intercompany charges for interest and mark-up on the coffee we buy." The company called the move "unprecedented."
The strategy that Starbucks is alluding to is exactly what companies like Apple, Dolce & Gabbana and Microsoft have been accused of doing. It's a tricky arrangement involving transfer pricing, or how multinational corporations pay for goods and services within its own network. Typically, a parent company sets up a number of subsidiary companies all over the world and moves goods, services and assets from one to another. Those transactions are supposed to be "arm's length" meaning that the goods, services and assets are transferred for the same price as they would have between unrelated parties. But that's not what happens: transactions are structured in order to shift profits from high tax countries to low tax countries to cut their tax bills. These allegedly abusive schemes have become part of an overall tax strategy for multinational companies - and one that taxing authorities, including the IRS, have made a priority in investigations.
It's tough enough to follow the money from parent to subsidiary when dealing with tangible goods and services. But when assets might be intangible or difficult to value it's even more difficult. That's what companies like Apple count on when they channel funds through multiple countries in an effort to lower corporate taxes. The computer giant paid just 1.9% corporation tax on profits outside the US last year by using contrived and controversial - but legal - tax measures. The most common version of those tax schemes, referred to the "Double-Dutch sandwich," made über delicious by companies like Twitter, allows companies to route profits through low tax countries to avoid paying tax in higher tax countries. Popular countries to layer into the sandwich include the Netherlands, Ireland and Luxembourg.
Ireland, in particular, is a popular target for Google, including Google France. Google France channels its revenues to Google's European headquarters in Ireland; the corporate tax is only 12.5% in Ireland compared to 33% in France - and nearly 40% in the US. That works out to drastically lower reported profits in the higher tax countries. For 2011, Google reported €138 million in revenue in France as compared to €12.4 billion in Ireland - nearly ten times more. Yet, in 2012, Google France paid €6.6 million in corporate tax while Google Ireland paid €33 million in corporate tax - just five times more.
If this doesn't eventually break down in Google's favor, don't cry for Google just yet. Even if the company did cough up more than $1 billion to satisfy its tax liabilities, it's doing just fine. For the last fiscal quarter, Google's revenue was $15.4 billion, up 19% year on year. With respect to international operations, revenues totaled $8.76 billion, representing 57% of total revenues in the first quarter of 2014.

Torrington Fire Department reminds that clearing hydrants is responsibility of property owners
Torrington >> New Deputy Fire Chief, Chris Pepler, wants to remind people that the responsibility of clearing away snow from fire hydrants is the responsibility of property owners.
Pepler said that it has been hard to find the fire hydrants with the large amount of snow Torrington has received in the last week.
"It is challenging due to the fact that not only are they hard to find during a fire, but the time and labor it takes to dig the hydrant out once it is found," said Pepler.
Buried fire hydrants make the job of Torrington firefighters much harder, and it puts the public at risk, said Pepler. Firefighters then have to take the time to dig them out, and that can have real consequences if there is a fire in action at the time.
"Unfortunately, I think that people who see the firefighters digging out the hydrant feel that it is our part of the job," said Pepler.
However, it is not the firefighters job. According to the City Charter, any snow or sleet that falls on a fire hydrant must be removed by the owner, occupant, or person having care, maintenance, or rental of the land, building, or premises joining or fronting upon that hydrant. The hydrants have to be clear so that they are visible from the street.
Pepler said the fire department is doing the best they can to ensure the safety of the City, but he wants to remind Torrington citizens that they have a responsibility in keeping others safe as well.
"There are 900 hydrants spread out across the city of Torrington, said Pepler. "We are going out and assuring that ones in the densely populated districts within the City are clear and assisting people who are unable to clear them. I ask that people take the time to clear around them not only because it is part of the City of Torrington Charter, but do it in order to protect their families and neighbors property."

By Manhattan InstitutePosted in Medical Billing & CodingOn January 15, 2019
Every career requires a specific subset of skills in order to excel, and when it comes to being a medical biller, it's all about analytical skills. Read on to learn the 4 analytical skills every medical biller should have.
The most obvious analytical skill required in order to become a medical biller is being able to record facts quickly and accurately. Medical billers deal with countless numbers that can all blur together; they must keep this information clean, tidy, and legible — for patients, office records, and insurance companies. It's important that this information is accurate as it determines the amount of money that individuals and insurance companies pay for care, as well as the actual accounts receivable for the medical institution.
There are multiple ways to bill different things depending on the circumstances, and knowing which code to use under which circumstance is a critical part of being a medical biller. You must look at the whole picture of a patient's care in order to understand how to bill and code the care.
There are plenty of tools to help with memorizing medical billing codes, and you can always look them up in a book or on an app. But a good medical biller still takes the time to memorize those codes which will help him or her work more efficiently and accurately. Less commonly used codes should be memorized and noted for quick double checking to ensure accuracy.
There's a lot of billing to be done in the healthcare world, and your job is critical to the staffing and operation of the hospital or medical office you work in. The more quickly you can think, and thus, work, the better equipped you will be for the demands of being a medical biller.
Do you think a job in medical billing is the right path for you? Learn more about our program or get started towards your new career today.

Water Damage Remediation Process (Acworth GA)
Water damage restoration is a complicated task that needs a range of techniques and equipment in order to guarantee that the job is effectively done. Depending upon the size and scale of the emergency Water Remediation Companies Acworth, different steps are taken in order to eliminate the water and remediate any contaminated areas. Today, we will continue from our previous short article and review the various things that are normally done on a water damage task along with the scope of the devices utilized.
The important steps to any water damage restoration task can be broken down as follows:
* Flood Water Removal
* Wetness Mapping
* Mold Assessment and Removal
* Water Drying Methods
Flood Water Removal (Acworth GA)
Getting rid of the source of the water is the first crucial step on any water damage restoration. Professional specialists need to have a range of equipment offered at their disposal when they arrive on the scene. Typically, portable submergible water pumps are used to pump out water accumulation in structures. These pumps have a high threshold for extracting water and can generally dry out a whole submerged area in a short time, which is necessary to stop the damage from spreading.
Moisture Mapping (Acworth GA)
Wetness mapping involves using detection equipment in order to acquire an approximate map for the wetness values on your property. Infrared is one of the more typical techniques utilized to get precise readings, and properly trained technicians normally take high-quality digital photos as well to evaluate the extent of the damage. This step is vital in order to get a concept of how bad the water damage may be and to take preliminary steps to prevent mold growth.
Air Movers (Acworth GA)
Known as evaporators, air movers assist the drying process by regulating humidity in a region and promote circulation of air. This assists on a broad level by eliminating liquids from permeable materials - carpeting, wood, drywall, plaster and more - leaving the harder attempting to specialized equipment.
Water Drying Strategies
These are some of the most typical water drying methods made use of by IICRC-certified specialists. Each strategy is used according to the severity of the scenario.
Dehumidifiers/ Desiccant Dehumidification
Dehumidifiers get rid of the moisture from the air so remaining water in the area can be extracted from the location. These can be categorized generally under refrigerant dehumidifiers and desiccant dehumidifiers.
Refrigerant dehumidifiers work under the concept of cooling the involving air. When this occurs, the air loses its ability to maintain water, causing condensation upon the cooling coils of the equipment. State-of-the-art dehumidifiers work like an effective version of consumer dehumidifiers, rapidly pulling the excess wetness from the air.
Desiccant dehumidifiers do not require cooling to get rid of water; instead, they use materials that naturally take in wetness. When used on a large scale, these devices can quickly extract humidity from the air in as reliable a way as refrigerants. The kind of equipment uses depends on the business you work with and the conditions of the restoration job.
Added equipment specific to the property owner's region may be utilized, depending on the size of the restoration company. Each water damage job is totally unique and requires appropriate evaluation of the scenario at hand to use the appropriate equipment and methods for removing water as rapidly as possible.
Mold Evaluation and Removal
If unaddressed, residual water can lead to mold damage. Water damage experts will certainly utilize special detergents that disinfect the location and make conditions unfavorable for mold growth. In addition, some restoration companies can make use of deodorization and ventilation as part of the procedure to get rid of any sticking around odors and airborne pollutants.
Water Damage Restoration Process (Acworth GA) requires pros.

Tesla stock is hitting record highs, but David Einhorn isn't buying it.
The investor famous for a long history of high returns is currently shorting, or betting against, shares of Tesla. This hasn't been good for returns at his firm as Tesla shares are up 58.2% so far this year.
Einhorn said he has been making short bets against the company because he doesn't believe it will ever become profitable.
"If the purpose of a business is to advance the future, to have science experiments and cool buzzword things, you would get into Tesla," Einhorn said in an interview with Bloomberg. "But [CEO Elon Musk] has yet to take any money and turn it into a profitable business."
Einhorn said he doesn't see this changing.
He does see Tesla competitor General Motors changing, however. Einhorn owns a 3.6% stake in the car manufacturer that just released its mass-market electric car, the Bolt.
When asked which company CEO he would rather give $US20 billion to, he predictably answered GM's Mary Barra.
"If [the purpose of the money] is to earn a profit and return, I think you would give it to Mary Barra because GM is interested in its return on capital," he told Bloomberg.
GM's current plan is to try and make a 20% return for its investors, while Tesla recently sent out a call for money as it tries to fund the launch of its Model 3 sedan.
As for when his short position will work out for his firm, Einhorn seemed unsure.
"Eventually, the company will be called into account to demonstrate profitability," Einhorn said. "I don't know when that will happen."

With the Summer winding down, we thought we would take a look at the coverage of American soccer in the United States. Last week, in Part I, we took a look at the mainstream media. To read that article, click here. Today, we are going to take a look at that seemingly inpenetrable bastion of major sports; sports radio. In almost every city in the country the airwaves are filled with stations devoted to sports 24 hours a day. Whether entirely locally produced, or reliant on ESPN, Fox Sports or TSN for content, these stations provide non stop sports, typically in a call-in format.
What is almost universal in these stations, is the absolute lack of soccer coverage. In many markets, even soccer scores (whether USMNT or MLS) are hard to come by. Hosts rarely (if ever), mention soccer and those who do often limit their comments to a few snide remarks. Callers are often discouraged from making "soccer calls" either by the lack of soccer coverage or by the producers who screen calls and don't want to see their hosts embarassed. Those calls that do get through are typically limited to World Cup or a remarkably big event (Beckham, etc..).
ESPN does occassionally devote segments to soccer, and some stations do have the occassional regular soccer show (like Balboa's in Colorado). Some stations also broadcast their local MLS game (although even for me soccer on the radio can be a bit tough to take), yet still ignore their teams. In fairness, some hosts are willing to give soccer a go (e.g. Planet Mikey in Boston), and will at least entertain callers on the sport. However, their soccer IQ is typically low.
Soccer fans have of course found their alternative medium. Call-in pod casts are gaining popularity and provide an outlet for soccer fans looking to chat about their sport. WSD was also a popular soccer call-in program.
The big question for soccer fans is whether it matters. Should soccer fans be content to be confined to "soccer media" or should they try and break through by filling the airwaves with their calls? Is soccer not discussed because nobody calls to discuss it, or does nobody call to discuss it because it is never discussed? Tell us about your city; does soccer get play on the local airwaves?

Have you ever said no to something when you really wanted to say yes?
I said a hard no this month. There was a new opportunity I really wanted to pursue, and I desperately wanted to say yes. It was something I love doing, something I could justify spending time on, something that would benefit me and others. It had the potential to build my confidence, putting me in a role where my gifts and personality would thrive.
But there was a cost—a high cost to be paid with my time. Doing this new thing would fill up my schedule and my mental space, requiring lots of attention and energy, especially as I learned the role. It would leave no room for the other things I want to pursue, the things that make me my truest self.
Saying yes to that thing would mean saying no to anything else that comes along. I knew I had to choose between something good now or the possibility of something better down the road. As appealing as the opportunity was, I'm just not ready to say no to what may be waiting right around the corner.
Holding space for the unknown may be one of the hardest things for me to do.
My husband and I are planning a much-anticipated vacation together this summer to celebrate our ten-year anniversary. Spending multiple nights in a tropical location without kids? Yes, please. It feels easy for me to keep that week free from appointments and commitments, because time alone with my husband is a rare and precious gift. Why would I say yes to anything else when a romantic getaway awaits?
When I'm deciding between doing something good now and waiting for something better later, holding out for the better thing is a clear choice. But the choice doesn't seem as clear when the future is unknown.
My soul feels restless. I don't think it's the snow, although being stuck inside with my kids for multiple consecutive weeks because it's too cold to get fresh air is enough to make a person batty. It's more than just cabin fever—something is stirring deeper inside me. There is this longing, an ache to reach beyond my current reality and fulfill my purpose in the world.
My mind spins most days, dreaming about this cause or that purpose, a new organization I want to support, another need in the world or my community that stirs my heart. I've learned not to move forward with every passion-filled impulse that crosses my heart—I would exhaust myself in a second and be unable to sustain enough commitment to make any difference if I said yes to every opportunity.
I've said my fair share of yesses born out of impatience and paid the price. This time I'm mustering every morsel of self-control to wait for the opportunity that makes my heart come alive, where the cost is absorbed by the joy of knowing the timing and opportunity are right.
"What purpose does restlessness serve?" someone asked me, as I shared my struggle. I paused, pondering the implications of the question.
"I guess it could go two ways," I answered. "Sometimes feeling restless motivates me toward action, nudging me toward change." I paused. "But sometimes it just steals my peace and contentment with my present life." I considered my words, filtering through examples of how this has played out in recent days.
"Yes," he agreed. "Restlessness can facilitate change on the inside or the outside." Hmm. And I had assumed it was a sign something was wrong. Could my desire for change be the catalyst I need to do the hard work growth requires? Could restlessness be my motivation to get myself ready for the next opportunity that comes?
As much as I love to dream about the future, maybe my restless heart just needs to be rooted today in the place where I'm currently planted. Maybe the process of growing deep roots really serves to protect me from blowing away in the winds of change when they come. Maybe I need to spend less time longing for something different and more energy investing where I know I'm called today.
Can I confess that the thing I so desperately wanted to say yes to involved teaching an exercise class? As closing this door forced me to find another way to strengthen my body, I'm already discovering the beauty of choosing what's best over what's good. Saying no has birthed greater motivation and joy in exercising alone at home than I've ever experienced. It's also given me more time to pray and prepare and dream about what's next—all because I chose to hold space for a better yes.
Hard as it is, I choose to wait on my unknown future. I don't simply want to fill my time, which is the surest way to an empty soul—I want to fill my heart to overflowing. As St. Augustine wisely observed, "Our hearts are restless until they rest in you." May God give me the grace to hold still long enough to let His love pour in.

Guy Carpenter reports that dynamic capital growth and ample reinsurance capacity resulted in a relatively stable renewal at April 1, 2013. In a briefing released today, Guy Carpenter comments that the convergence of traditional and alternative capital sources is changing the marketplace, with non-traditional capacity now making up an estimated 14 percent of global property catastrophe limit.
Guy Carpenter says this environment benefited insurers at April 1, 2013, which is a significant renewal date for the Asia Pacific region. Reinsurance pricing in Asia generally stabilized or fell marginally this year as the adverse conditions experienced in the wake of the Tohoku earthquake in Japan and Thailand flooding in 2011 generally gave way to modest softening. Rates did increase in Korea, however. In the United States, non-traditional capacity is having a significant impact on property catastrophe business. Indeed, traditional reinsurance pricing to date has decreased on similar coverages from the January 1 renewal.
Key highlights from the briefing include:
- Japan: Rates decreased moderately for most catastrophe excess of loss lines in Japan due to a year largely absent of major catastrophe losses. However, the losses from the Tohoku earthquake and the Thailand floods in 2011 still influenced the 2013 renewal by limiting downward pressure on prices.
- Republic of Korea: The Korean insurance market endured a relatively turbulent 2012 after being hit by three typhoons. Adjustments were consequently made to pricing, resulting in rate increases to catastrophe excess of loss treaties on a risk adjusted basis. Pricing for loss-affected risk excess of loss treaties also rose significantly.
- India: The Indian domestic treaty renewal was subject to an environment similar to that faced by other territories in the Asia Pacific region. The softer market conditions saw reinsurance buyers increase their attachment points to save money or negotiate further in order to maintain a similar reinsurance spend against meaningful exposure growth.
- U.S. Property Catastrophe: For the few but sizable placements renewing at April 1, traditional reinsurance pricing was down generally in the single digit range. Non-traditional capacity has impacted the market and is expected to continue to do so in the upcoming June renewals.
David Flandro, Global Head of Business Intelligence, said, "The April 1 reinsurance renewal saw pricing stabilize in most regions as insurers benefited from an environment of dynamic capital growth. Much of this growth emanated from non-traditional sources, confirming that the convergence between traditional reinsurance and capital market solutions has now occurred.
Guy Carpenter feels that an accurate understanding of how the market is converging and where the capacity will be deployed is essential to creating new competitive advantages at future renewals. This begins with an accurate and rigorous study of the sources and uses of capital, as well as an accurate quantification of available and deployed reinsurance capacity. Guy Carpenter is uniquely positioned to assist clients and reinsurers in this area in the pursuit of opportunities for profitable growth".

Sometimes the most intense conversations my husband and I have are after working out. I think all that blood flowing thru our veins throughout our body to the brain help us have serious conversations about things that matter in life.
It was 10 pm at night and we were driving home after completing a grueling chest & biceps workout. We were exhausted and we couldn't wait to get home and get something to eat (I usually have some kind of sugary carb & a protein shake as it's the good thing to do to feed your tired muscles ;)).
Anyway, our usual serious conversation started like this:
Me: I just came to the conclusion that I like creamy desserts
Mr. Delish: What? What are you talking about?
Me: Yes! I suddenly got a strong craving for a Twinkie!
Mr. Delish: A Twinkie?! What on earth!
Me: Please don't judge me! What's wrong with a Twinkie? It's been years since I had one.
Mr. Delish: You can do better than a Twinkie! Ugh... do they even still make them?
For some reason, he thinks Twinkies are beneath him! :/
Me: Since I'm craving a Twinkie, I just realized that the only desserts that I crave are creamy ones. You know, my favorites are bread pudding, pastries with filling, donuts & churros filled with creme, and tres leches cake.
Mr. Delish: Okay, whatever.
And that's how our deep conversation ended my friends. See what I'm talking about?
That conversation inspired me to make this cake. Today (Monday) is my birthday so I decided to make my own cake... who bakes their won cake? Only people that love serious talks I say 😉
I've been wanting a Tres Leches Cake for a long time! Every time we go to a restaurant and I order this cake, I'm hoping for a good one. And every time I end up disappointed. Why is it so hard for restaurants to nail a good Tres Leches Cake? I used to make them growing up but the cake mix always came out of a box. I didn't know how to make my own cake from scratch but the milk mixture has always been the easy part. This cake was adapted from Ina Garten's Tres Leches Cake and it did not disappoint! So good.
Last year I wanted to share this recipe but a very popular food blogger shared a Tres Leches Cake recipe and suddenly all the little blogs were sharing all things "Tres Leches". You know how that goes; Tres Leches Cupcakes, Tres Leches Scones, Tres Leches Pancakes, Tres Leches Tacos... haha okay, just kidding on this one. So I decided not to share my recipe in fear of looking like one of the copy cats.
Since it's my birthday today I decided to spoil myself with this wonderful cake and share the recipe since I'm still in celebratory mode. I said sc*#w it!! I don't care if this has been shared a million times before.... you need to know about this amazing Tres Leches Cake Recipe.

Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Ashton, Thomas de (fl.1346)
ASHTON, THOMAS de (fl. 1346), warrior, was the son and heir of Sir Robert de Ashton, and it is remarkable that, although the chief recorded event of his life shows him to have been a man of conspicuous military courage, he does not appear to have received the honour of knighthood, or to have been employed in any of the offices in which his father had distinguished himself. Whilst Edward III was fighting in France, David, king of Scotland, entered Northumberland with a force estimated at 50,000 men, and wasted and pillaged the country as far as Durham. Queen Philippa, the heroic wife of Edward III, marched against the invaders with a force of about 12,000, whom she encouraged to the unequal conflict. Battle was joined at Neville's Cross, near Durham, 17 Oct. 1346, and the result was a decisive victory for the English. Thomas de Ashton, who fought under Lord Neville, captured the royal standars of Scotland. Shortly after King David was made prisoner by John de Coupland, variously described as a Lancashire esquire and as a Northumberland gentleman, who was knighted when the king returned from France, but Ashton was still an esquire when, in 1385, he formed one of the retinue of John of Gaunt in his expedition to Spain. William de Ashton, doctor of laws, who was also with 'the serene prince, Lord John, king of Castile and Leon,' was his uncle.[Baines's Lancashire; Rymer's Fœdera, vii. 490, xi. 28; Axon's Lancashire Gleanings.]

Undertaking home remodeling Bathroom Towel Set is an excellent strategy to maximize the valuation on a residence. Yet, not all remodeling plans offers significant value increment, and the roi for any particular makeover can differ noticeably 5101 views.
The majority of home remodeling experts, Tina Rogers, agree with the fact that front doorstep really is the primary transformation priority.

Too early to tell what the deal will be, or if we'll get to see it over here, but Microsoft has just invested $300 million in a deal with Barnes and Nobel to launch a new Nook business:
Microsoft launches Nook joint venture with B&N
"The deal could make Barnes and Noble's Nook e-book reader available to millions of new customers, integrating it with the Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system.
The as-yet unnamed new company will be 82.4% owned by Barnes and Noble, with Microsoft getting a 17.6% stake.
It will house the bookseller's digital and college education book businesses."
That's a pretty hefty chunk of change. I assume Windows 8 will get a reader app like Amazon's for a start, probably some cloud storage/sync using some of Microsoft's cloud platforms, so it could be interesting for Amazon to have another competitor, this seems to combine B&N's book business links with Microsoft's technical skills and platform.

Wine Lovers Chocolate Collection #6654
Our collection contains six 3.5 oz. tins-one tin each for Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah, Zinfandel, and Port. Makes a great gift for wine and chocolate lovers alike.
Chocolate Care Instructions
Chocolate is a perishable product, and should be handled immediately upon delivery. It is best stored at cool room temperatures (60-70F); and should be well wrapped to keep out moisture. Chocolate does not require refrigeration. In fact, refrigeration may change the appearance of your chocolate, specifically, the condensation that forms when it is taken from the refrigerator will cause sugar bloom on the chocolate's surface. "Bloom" is cocoa butter from within the chocolate that rises to the surface when the chocolate is exposed to warm temperatures and then cooled. While unappetizing to look at, it is completely safe. Chocolate is also susceptible to absorbing the scents from highly aromatic foods, so be careful to store your chocolate appropriately.
- Set includes 6 tins of premium chocolate
- Chocolate is specially-blended to pair with wine
- Flavors are designed to complement Port, Zinfandel, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines
Weight: 3 lbs
Material: Chocolate

Yummy chocolate
by snakebite31
Amazing how well the chocolate pairs with each recommended wine!
Chocolate collection is a great complement to wine
by turbodog
We were skeptical that different chocolates would complement different wines. Being chocolate lovers, we figured we couldn't go wrong either way by giving it a try. We really did enjoy the various chocolates recommended for the various wines.

International Day of Radiology #IDoR
The International Day of Radiology is an annual event celebrated on November 8. Its aim is to raise greater awareness of the value that radiology contributes to safe patient care, and highlight the vital role radiologists and radiological technologists play in the healthcare continuum. November 8 is the day that Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen discovered the existence of X-rays in 1895. This discovery ultimately led to the development of all medical imaging technologies and therefore a complete transformation of patient care. The day is a joint initiative of the European Society of Radiology (ESR), the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR). These are apolitical, non-profit organisations dedicated to strengthening and unifying radiology with thousands of members around the globe. Additionally, a large number of radiological societies worldwide are involved in this.
The importance of medical imaging
Medical imaging includes technologies such as X-ray, CT, MRI and ultrasound. These are familiar terms for anyone who has been to see a doctor. But importantly, they are one of the most essential components in healthcare. The standard of care that is available nowadays is inconceivable without medical imaging. On top of that, it is one of the most exciting and progressive disciplines in healthcare and a field of great activity in terms of technological and biological research. ImageBiopsy Lab's own research is a good example of this. In order to honour and appreciate this exciting and important field, we mark our calendars and celebrate November 8!
There are lots of ways to get involved in the International Day of Radiology. A number of events are held all over the world, including parties, open days, lectures, quizzes, competitions, walkathons and much more. Furthermore, a large social media campaign takes place on November 8 where you can get involved and spread the word. Happy International Day of Radiology!

It's that time of year where most winter athletes are finishing up their contest seasons and looking forward to a vacation away from the snow. It's healthy to give yourself a break this time of year and not allow yourself to think about skiing or snowboarding for a couple of weeks. The easiest way to do this is to head somewhere warm to let the ocean and beach occupy your time.
Your pale winter skin gets fried to a crisp and you tell yourself it will buff out and be tan in a couple of days—though we all know it will peel when you head back to the dry climate. Some of us feel uncomfortable with this down time because we have been giving it our all for 10 months and now all of a sudden we have free time and moments to ourselves.
I chose to have my downtime about a week ago. I had a trip planned to Austria for the Nine Queens competition and then onto Spain for the final World Cup to top off the season. About six hours before my flight was supposed to take off I cancelled my trip because my knee was just not feeling quite right and was giving me some warning signs that it was not ready for a three-week European ski adventure. It was one of the hardest decisions that I made all season and brought my emotions to a low. I knew I needed to get away from the snow for a bit and allow my mind to wander. I was becoming programmed to constantly think of the things I couldn't do versus what I could do. Plus, who doesn't love getting a head start on their tan for the summer?
My mom came to the rescue, once again, and planned a spur of the moment trip to California. 15 hours later and we had the ocean in sight. Her spontaneity always blows my mind—she had to be at work four days later but was confident that she would get it covered and if not, well then she'd figure it out when the time came. She wanted to see me happy and if a trip to the beach was going to do it then she was on board. I can rest assured knowing that my mom has my back; no matter what, she is willing to drop the world to see me happy.
Lying on the beach for five days gave me an ample amount of time to think about life and what direction I want mine to head in. We spent a day at Disneyland and I allowed myself to act like a kid and laugh until I was on the verge of peeing my pants because my mom screamed throughout the entire space mountain ride. I would get off every ride with tears in my eyes from laughing the entire time and look over and see my mom wiping those same laughing tears away. In just a week I had gone from not wanting to ever return to PT or the gym to feeling fired up about getting back at it and getting this knee of mine straightened out. My mom knew exactly how to dig me out of my hole and put me back on the top of a mountain where I belong, chasing my dreams.
I knew the best way to jump back into things was to head to Park City and start working with the U.S. Ski Team at the Center Of Excellence. I packed up my skis, bike and hockey skates and made the all too familiar drive from Colorado to Utah. I have six weeks before our next training camp in Mammoth to get my body and mind in their respective places. It is shocking what a week in the sun with family can do to change your mindset.

text: There's no question, the most endearing order of mammals to me is Proboscidea a.k.a. "trunked" animals like their only living examples, elephants. And what's not to love? Their majestic stature, fused nose with their upper lips (trunks), and specialized teeth/tusks make them all unmistakable cousins despite their incredible diversity. Every major model company has released members of this order with several standing out as my favorites. I've reviewed most of them already such as Safari Ltd.'s Woolly Mammoth and Mastodon, CollectA's Deinotherium, and Eofauna's Steppe Mammoth. This year the rogue Eofauna has struck gold again with their incredible sophomore release – Palaeoloxodon antiquus the Straight-tusked elephant.

This is a short article about a few different people trying to nourish the social options for young black professionals in Chicago. One person interviewed is the younger brother of one of my best friends. It appears that promoters of mainly-black social events in Chicago really face an uphill battle, because many venues see an black crowd and balk.
I really applaud the young entrepreneurs profiled in the article. While parties and happy hours may on the surface seem frivolous, these things are key to attracting and retaining young black professionals to Chicago. If talented, upwardly mobile people in Chicago are excluded from social spaces of their own, and treated like second-class citizens, they will continue to flock to places like Atlanta or DC that, despite perhaps lacking in the sophistication and history that Chicago offers, seem to appreciate their young black folk more and offer them venues to have a good time. The guys arranging parties and theme nights at clubs are probably doing more than most of us experts in social justice and community development in terms of stemming the exodus of black talent from Chicago, and keeping it as a viable, thriving city.

Student Trustee Elected - Trustee Meeting Update
May 7, 2013
Dear Students,
As some of you know, at the end of last week, the Board of Trustees was on campus for its annual May meeting. Among many topics presented, members from our Student Divestment Committee (SDC) gave the Investment Committee a presentation on the reasons the college should divest from fossil fuels. The Investment Committee is considering their proposal and will be sending a response to the members of the SDC in the coming weeks.
Additionally, junior Joel Begay, the 2013-14 student trustee, was officially elected. On behalf of the board, we are excited about Joel's leadership and look forward to his many contributions. We also would like to thank Samantha Barlow, the 2012-13 student trustee, for her insight and guidance during our inaugural year of having a student trustee. Samantha's vibrant personality and inquisitive thinking aided the board in many complex situations.
If there are any questions, please let me know.

White says that, despite getting a boxing license, McGregor is still under contract to UFC.
I have no idea what Conor is doing. Conor's Conor. He does his thing. But he's under contract to me. Who knows with this guy? Who knows what he is up to. I just let Conor be Conor. And the other thing is, it's fun to talk about this fight and what might happen, but what commission would let that fight happen? Really, think about that.

Reviewed By John T (Willamina, OR) Reviewed for a 2012 Jeep Wrangler —9/15/2018 8:27 AM
I had previously bought a set of very pretty Hawaii. Style seat covers for $250. They didn't last a year. Very disappointing. I drive a wrangler and the material faded and tore way sooner than expected. These are made significantly better. Installation was significantly better. They really seemed Jeep specific. We will truly test them next summer??

If you've ever seen "The Wizard of Oz," then you've seen the poppy plant -- the source of a type of drug called opiates. When Dorothy lies down in a field of poppies, she falls into a deep sleep. No wonder the Latin name of this plant -- Papaver somniferum -- means "the poppy that makes you sleepy."
Opiates are made from opium, a white liquid in the poppy plant. They're also referred to as narcotics. Maybe you've heard of drugs called heroin, morphine or codeine. These are examples of opiates.
Opiates can produce a quick, intense feeling of pleasure followed by a sense of well-being and a calm drowsiness. But they can also become an addiction. If someone uses opiates again and again, his or her brain is likely to become dependent on them.
What happens to make a person and his or her brain become addicted to an opiate? Long term opiate use changes the way nerve cells in the brain work. These cells grow so used to having the opiate around that they actually need it to work normally.
If opiates are taken away from dependent nerve cells, many cells become overactive. Eventually, these cells will work normally again, but in the meantime, they cause a wide range of symptoms in the brain and body. These are known as withdrawal symptoms. Have you ever had the flu? You probably experienced symptoms such as aching, fever, sweating, shaking or chills. These are similar to withdrawal symptoms, but withdrawal symptoms are much worse. Yuck!
Within the limbic system, brainstem and spinal cord, there are places on certain nerve cells that recognize opiates. When stimulated by opiates, these sites -- called opiate receptors -- trigger responses in the brain and body.
Scientists have identified three types of opiate receptors: delta, mu and kappa (named after letters in the Greek alphabet: Delta, Mu, Kappa). Each of these receptors is involved in different brain functions. For example, mu is responsible for the pain-relieving effects of the drug morphine.
Opiates act on many places in the brain and nervous system.
A. The limbic system controls emotions. Opiates change the limbic system to produce increased feelings of pleasure, relaxation and contentment.
B. The brainstem controls things your body does automatically, like breathing or coughinOpiates can act on the brainstem to stop coughing or slow breathing.
C. The spinal cord transmits pain signals from the body. By acting here, opiates block pain messages and allow people to bear even serious injuries.
Did you know that some opiates can have important medical uses? They're powerful pain killers, and doctors sometimes prescribe them to control severe diarrhea. If you look on a cough medicine label, you might find that codeine is one of the ingredients.
Your brain produces its own versions of opiates, called endogenous opioids. These chemicals act just like opiates, binding to opiate receptors.
Endogenous opioids are your body's way of controlling pain. If you've ever felt pleasantly relaxed after exercising a lot, that feeling was probably caused by the release of this natural chemical in your brain.
If you are looking for treatment programs addressing Opiate addiction, The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) can help you find centers.

Ron Paul committed to working within, not outside of, the GOP:
He still wants to build the libertarian movement by moving the Republican party in his direction. "Ron Paul has not called off the liberty movement and the transformation of the Republican party," senior Paul adviser Doug Wead told me Tuesday morning.Ron Paul may not be on the verge of endorsing Mitt Romney, but he's not going to bolt the GOP:
But, at the same time, he doesn't want to jeopardize the nominee's chances of defeating President Obama by encouraging a raucus and unruly insurgency in Tampa. That would set back Paul's objective of advancing the libertarian philosophy in the GOP, of moving his supporters into powerful positions within the party, and promoting his son Rand, a GOP senator from Kentucky, as a future libertarian leader.All of which means (although the article does not mention it specifically) that the idea that Dr. Paul might endorse Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson is pretty much wishful thinking.

Normally we don't pay much attention to sports here, because we feel far too much attention is paid to them elsewhere. It's not that we don't like sports; we do, but the amount of ink wasted on predicting, analyzing, and post-mortems is prodigious enough without our adding to it.
Still, this particular Super Bowl seemed to offer some unusual opportunities for the Cannibal to comment on, so we will:
1. The game itself was one of the more interesting in the championship's long history, with the outcome decided in the final minutes. This did not appear likely after the first drive of the second half, when it seemed that Brady was about to slice and dice the Giants into a kind of salad, but then Pat receivers suddenly started treating the football like a barrel cactus, leading to one of the game's more interesting aftershocks.
2. Giselle Bundchen, Brady's Brazillionaire wife, responded to taunts from delirious Giants fans by saying something to the effect that her husband can't both throw and catch the ball. While her comment may have been injudicious, it was hardly inaccurate, but somehow the Bradys and the Welkers seem unlikely to be double-dating anytime soon (not that they ever did).
2a. Also noteworthy on the celebrity side was the bizarre renaissance of Madonna at halftime. We felt older than we should, but were entertained to see one of her supporting cast flipping off the audience, for what offense we cannot imagine. Was someone disrespecting the entertainment by texting during the performance? Gauche.
3. The fact that the Patriots were in the Super Bowl surprised no one, but at one point during the season Vegas oddsmakers were offering 80-1 against the Giant victory, perhaps because the Giants at the time were looking like Harvard could beat them. (In a way, Harvard did beat the Patriots, when they lost to Buffalo early in the season, with the Bills fielding Ryan Fitzpatrick, a former Crimson signal caller at quarterback. ) Those bets must have been very painful to pay off.
4. The Giant's victory ought to mercifully put an end to the ubiquitous discussion in the press as to whether Eli Manning is an "elite quarterback," whatever the hell that is. He's now won two Super Bowls, engineered an astonishing number of improbable last-quarter comebacks, and, in spite of having the tar beaten out of him by every defense in the NFL, seems none the worse for wear.
5. Some twit or another wrote a story today about how "the Old Belichick" was back, and that the "new Belichick" didn't last very long. The new Belichick is a happy-go-lucky, relaxed and almost garrulous version of Belichickness — in fact, he is the "real" Belichick, according to those close to him, as opposed to the terse, irritated and sometimes scornful persona that usually greets the sporting press. It is rumored that Belichick does not hold the sporting press in high regard. How this can be, we cannot inform you — but we are amused that this particular reporter was surprised to find a man who had just lost to the Giants for the second time wasn't very chirpy at the post-game presser. He was, however, gracious in his comments about the Giants, which is typical, and perfectly candid in his assessment of the game's outcome. Did this inkster expect him to don a Harpo wig and toss Whoopee cushions to the audience?
6. Finally, congratulations to the city of Indianapolis for doing a wonderful job of hosting this year's game. We are advised by a friend that there was one unexpected aspect to this privilege — the town was somewhat abruptly aware that it had attracted thousands of hookers to its streets. In New York, Los Angeles, Miami or even (perhaps particularly) Detroit the sudden appearance of professional escorts at division strengths may go unnoticed, but Indy is a different story, we guess. Still, even this development is not without its civic upside, as sales of everything from fast food to lip gloss most likely benefited to an impressive degree.
Next year, the game comes to back to New Orleans. Plenty of hookers there already, but always room for a few thousand more. And Giselle — keep it up. The world loves a woman who stands by her man, unless she's named Callista. And if any of the Patriots receivers try to give you any guff, remind them that you make more money than they do.
