Customer agrees that Company reserves the right to adjust the rate and any applicable credits or discounts if the content, and/or volume, and/or presentation, and/or location of materials differ from Customer's description.

The total cost for the service to be performed is an approximate calculation of the total amount due by Customer before the job has been completed in its entirety.

Amounts due and not paid within thirty (30) days after Customer's receipt of the invoice shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half per cent (1.5%) per month. In the event Customer fails to pay Company all amounts which become due under this Agreement, Customer agrees to pay, in addition to the amount due, all reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, and related expenses incurred in the event payment is not made in a timely manner, and proceedings are brought by Company to collect sums owed.

How to Shorten a Long Curtain to Look Better
Curtains come in assorted lengths to accommodate most standard window sizes. If you have windows that deviate from the norm, metal clip-on curtain rings offer a budget-friendly solution for quicky and easily shortening long curtains. Select a curtain ring size that slides effortlessly over your curtain rod in a color and style to enhance your existing decor.
Attach metal clip-on drapery rings to the top of your curtains and slide them over your curtain rod. Place the rod in its wall bracket over your window.
Unclip a metal drapery ring at the end of your curtains. Fold over the top hem of your curtains, shortening them to a desirable length. Repeat this step until you reach the entire width of your curtains.
Remove your curtain rod and curtains from the wall brackets and slide your curtains off the rod. Lay your curtains flat on the floor wrong side up.
Measure the folded top hem across the entire curtain width, adjusting it slightly to create an even fold. Pin the folded area with straight pins to keep it even and remove your drapery clip-on rings.
Crease the curtain fold to give your curtains a crisp top edge by pressing it down with a hot steam iron. Place a cloth between the curtain and steam iron for creasing delicate curtain fabrics. Remove the straight pins as you finish pressing a folded area.
Lay the creased curtain flat on the floor right side up. Clip a metal curtain ring to the top of your curtain over the creased fold. Start about 1/2 inch from the outside edge of your curtains working your way inward. Space the clip-on rings about every 4 inches.
Slide the metal curtain rings over your rod and place the rod into its existing wall brackets.
Things Needed
- Metal clip-on drapery rings
- Tape measure
- Pencil
- Paper
- Straight pins
- Steam iron
- Ironing cloth
- This shortening solution works best for common rod pocket curtains. To shorten pinch-pleated or grommet curtains, fold over the bottom hem until you reach your desired curtain length. Next, press a crease in the fold line and iron on fusible web tape to secure the new hem line in place.

PW Reader Ring: Tamara & Thaddeus!
The couple: Tamara Bashenko Thaddeus (TC) Felsberg.
The ring: My ring is white gold with a twist band and a cushion-cut diamond with a diamond halo.
About a year and a half ago, we went to Sydney Rosen along Jewelers' Row in Philly, and TC ended up picking out this gorgeous ring for me to look at. He kicked me out of the store so he could talk to the owner, but in the end, he said that he wasn't purchasing the first ring we found, and that we should keep looking.
A year and a few months later, when he proposed to me, I opened the box to the same beautiful, breathtaking ring that we found all that time ago. He secretly bought it that day we were in there. I was speechless.
The proposal: About a year after that ring-shopping trip, TC had asked for my dad for my hand, and so the next step was (supposedly) once again finding the perfect ring. So we planned a date in Philly, and the plan was to go to a movie—and go ring shopping.
We parked a few blocks down from the Ritz (our favorite movie theatre) and because we were there early, we walked around historic Philly, enjoying the rose garden where they created and signed the Constitution. TC stopped at the car once to grab something, and then we crossed the street to another beautiful little park where the creek had dried up and there was this beautiful willow tree. I remember admiring it and thinking that I wanted one in our future yard.
We got to the bridge and he asked me to sit down. I was curious about why, but I sat down. He gives me this bag and says that he got me an end-of-the-year present for my first year of teaching. I opened it and found an iPad box and started crying (I really wanted an iPad!). He crouched down in front of me, and jokingly I said, "Get up! People will think you're proposing to me with an iPad!" Little did I know that also in that box, there was a video rolling and a ring box right below it … holding the exact ring from that one day in Philly, which he purchased that day. I was floored. I am not easily surprised at all, so the fact that this boy completely stunned me was amazing. It was beyond awesome. Now Philly will be a place that I will cherish even more than before. That was my perfect proposal.
The band: The wedding band I want is a simple, thin diamond band to compliment my engagement ring. If I can find the perfect one, I'd even go for a very delicate weave with the diamonds so that if I wear it alone, it still has character to it.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko defender Daniel Darkwah has undergone a successful shoulder surgery according to the club.
The surgery which was expected to be done earlier was done successfully at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital according to the club.
The former Aduana defender could not make many appearances for Kotoko due to the injury the last term and is yet to play this season.

Hope You Love the Salvador Dalí Museum!
The year I was married (some years ago), I made a trip to San Francisco and first saw Salvador Dali's work in person. His artistry captivated me and I hoped some day to see other work he had done. On our first visit to the St. Petersburg – Clearwater area we discovered the Dali museum… We were thrilled to see so much of his work in one place!
Now, I think I can say that even if you are not familiar with Salvador Dali's work, you will love this museum and be fascinated by his artistry. Plus, the architecture of the museum is captivating — both for it's creative design and the views it showcases of the waterways surrounding downtown St. Petersburg, Florida.
Museum Hours
You can visit any day! The museum is open daily from 10:00am to 5:30pm.
On Thursdays & Fridays, the museum is open late – until 8:00pm.
Take the Tour
I recommend taking one of the free group tours led by docents, that are available throughout the day. The guides are extremely knowledgeable and will help you appreciate the work and Dali, in a way that is hard to do on your own. (By the way, private tours at an additional fee may be arranged in advance.)
And, the museum offers complimentary audio guides — on a first come, first served basis. These also will increase your enjoyment and appreciation of the works that you see.
- Available audio tours are in English, German and Spanish.
- And, if you bring a child to the museum, ask for the audio recording, the "Mr. Moustache" tour, customized for children between the ages of 5 and 13.
For anyone who wants a great treat, the Dalí Museum has an amazing café, called "Cafe Gala", named for Dalí's wife, Gala.
They offer a light menu, that includes a variety of Tapas (and small plates of appetizers), plus some amazing Spanish soups. And, don't miss the deserts (flan!) and cookies, and a most surprising and lovely wine and beer selection.
If you go early, the café has light breakfast items and pastries. And, coffee lovers will be thrilled at their delicious coffee, espresso, cappuccino and macchiato.
The café is open during regular museum hours. And, you have the choice of eating in the café dining area or outside on the Avante-garde patio. If you run short on time, keep in mind that you do not need a ticket to visit the café (or the gift shop).
A parking garage is located on-site ($10), plus there is also on-street, metered parking and parking lots nearby.
Not Driving? Take 'The Looper'
A downtown trolley, the Looper Trolley, stops near the Dalí Museum and the cost of only 50 cents! More information on the Looper at: The St. Petersburg Looper Trolley

State News Roundup
In a report released last month, the State Commission on Investigation charged that the association's director, Octavius T. Reid Jr., improperly took thousands of dollars from his organization to finance an extravagant lifestyle that included trips to Paris and the Virgin Islands, expensive bottles of wine and champagne at dinner, and the use of a car.
Meanwhile, the report alleged, Mr. Reid so mismanaged the organization's insurance pool that it lost more than $1 million at one point.
"We think the officers of the association weren't minding the store," said Thomas Cannon, executive assistant to the independent panel that conducted the investigation. The report has been forwarded to the state attorney general for investigation of possible criminal wrongdoing.
Mr. Reid has been placed on paid leave from his $92,000-a-year job. Association officials were scheduled to study the case more closely late last week.
The Utah Education Association has hired an accounting firm to audit the accounts controlled by its past president, James Campbell, who resigned last month.
"There are problems with the immediate past president's account," read a statement released by the state teachers' union. "The audit is now in progress. Any differences between u.e.a. and the immediate past president will be submitted to arbitration."
A spokesman for the union refused to comment further.
Mr. Campbell, who resigned April 9 citing health reasons, led the 16,000-member union during a one-day walkout last fall and a threatened strike during the legislative session this year.
Beth Beck, the union's vice president, has succeeded Mr. Campbell and will serve until the term expires July 14. At that time, a newly elected president will take office.
Maryland's superintendent of schools has proposed a far-ranging package of school reforms, but no price tag has been put on its implementation.
At a meeting with the state board on April 25, State Superintendent of Schools Joseph L. Shilling outlined a package that calls for extending the school year by 20 days, requiring all students to remain in school until they graduate from high school or reach the age of 18, offering evening and weekend classes to accommodate working students, doubling the number of computers in Marylandschools, making kindergarten mandatory, and improving the teaching force.
If approved by the legislature, the reforms would result in one of the most comprehensive revisions ever undertaken in Maryland's public-school system, Mr. Shilling said.
The plan's cost has not yet been determined, according to Larry Chamblin, a spokesman for the state department of education. "The superintendent and the board's strategy will be to first set up a plan of what needs to be done and then take up the question of financing," Mr. Chamblin said.
Board members, he added, will begin to examine the proposals in greater detail at their meeting this month.
North Dakota public schools may not charge parents for kindergarten classes, according to an opinion issued by the state's attorney general last month.
In January, following voters' rejection of a tax increase for schools, the Williston school district imposed a $25-a-month kindergarten fee. In his opinion to the state department of public instruction, Nicholas Spaeth ruled that the fee is unconstitutional.
As a result, the district will stop collecting the fee and will return all the money collected. Officials estimate the loss at about $37,000 this year and $50,000 next year.
Mr. Spaeth also ruled that districts may not charge a fee for credits beyond the 17 required for high-school graduation or institute a charge for a course that must be retaken by a student who failed it the first time.

Brought to you by EBM
As a landlord, the last thing you want is to be left out of pocket in the event that your property is damaged by forces beyond your control, and underinsuring your property can prove an expensive mistake.
Underinsurance is when a portion of a property has not been insured, or has been insured for less than it is worth. The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) suggests that a property is underinsured if an insurance policy covers less than 90% of the rebuild costs.
But how common is it anyway?
Underinsurance is a lot more common than you might think. According to the ICA, eight out of ten homeowners and renters are underinsured for their home and contents, yet 83% say they could not resume the same standard of living if their property was badly damaged or destroyed because they did not have enough insurance.
Spurred on by the notion, "It won't happen to me," some owners choose to nominate a lower value than they need in order to reduce the premium, believing it is a cost-saving measure. However, this can be a costly mistake when it comes time to lodge a claim.
Having cover in place is invaluable when things go wrong, but an insurer can only respond to a loss when the right type and amount of cover have been selected.
So what can you do?
When taking out insurance, the first thing you need to determine is what type of cover suits your needs. For example, do you need a policy that covers:
- Building, contents, and tenant-related risks.
- Contents and tenant-related risks, but not the building itself.
- Short-stay accommodation, such as Airbnb.
In addition to insuring a property with the right type of cover, you should also check whether the insured value is adequate for their property.
To limit the risk of being underinsured, you need to confirm the exact value of the building and contents (current full replacement cost, not the original purchase price) and provide that amount to the insurer. If you're not sure how much the building is worth, you may be able to get an estimate by speaking to a builder, or using an online calculator.
To avoid finding out the hard way that you're underinsured, we recommend landlords and property managers do their homework when selecting a policy. If you have question, The RentCover team are always on hand to provide guidance.

Standard home and contents insurance will not protect against many of the risks that landlords face. Whether it be loss of rent due to an absconding tenant, malicious or accidental damage, or a whole range of other circumstances including tenant hardship, the RentCover range of policies provide peace-of-mind for property owners knowing they are well protected by landlord insurance.

Assess the legacy left to phillip II
Extracts from this document...
Assess the legacy left to Philip II by his father In 1556 Charles V abdicated as Holy Roman Emperor, dividing his possessions between his brother Ferdinand and his son Philip, Ferdinand received the traditional lands passed down by the Hapsburg family and gained the role of Holy Roman emperor whilst Philip received the huge and prosperous Spanish empire, - one in which 'the sun never set', the largest on Earth, With Ferdinand ruler of the Hapsburg lands, Austria, Bohemia and Hungary, and the role of Holy Roman Emperor, Philip was relieved of a proportion of the large scale responsibilities passed down by Charles V, However Philip gained an incredible amount of wealth, power and land. He inherited the flourishing Netherlands and the illustrious 'new world', the Americas - hence appeared to have attained a vast and incredible empire. However with that he also gained the debt still unresolved from Charles V, wars, unsettled feuds and an empire almost too huge to govern successfully. How great was the legacy Charles V left to Philip? ...read more.
Within Aragon alone there were three separate Cortes, Spain was a 'dynastic union rather than a unified country' supporting the economy with Spanish taxes was difficult and complicated and consequently impossible to rule over as a whole. Castile was one of the richest Spanish kingdoms and a key player of the monarchy and therefore most of it was very independent from rest of the empire. The other provinces in the Monarchia like the Netherlands and Italy did not regard themselves as a part of the Spanish empire though acknowledged to be ruled by Phillip. All in all Phillips Monarchia was extremely divided making it a liability especially with threats of war and a struggling economy. With in these geographical and political problems lay the underlining internal crises - Religion. Philip was a very religious man and with his connections to the Holy Roman Emperor, he felt a duty to protect Catholicism -so gaining his title of the 'Most Catholic King'. Protestantism was a surfacing problem; more and more princes began breaking away from the church, regaining the power the pope had so much control over. ...read more.
However stripping these countries of their own economic prosperity would always be a risk, and could easily backfire. Charles V left an impressive legacy an incredible and vast empire which included the inspiring discoveries of 'new' lands. He provided Philip an access to a range of different countries which could provide different riches and wealth. However with this diversity came the difficulty of rule, the inheritance was remarkable one, a notable and imposing empire which was to have effect on much on the world. However, the troubles that came along with the greatness were numerous and problematic to say the least. Phillip faced difficulty from the very start, financial problems were some of the most posing, this is reflected in the collapse of the economy which resulted in Spain's bankruptcy, yet the security of a large empire would allow Philip to recover. Difficulties and problems with such a great legacy were something which was inevitable, and now with such an empire it would be Philips chance to prove him self in dealing with these problems. Charles V did not just leave a lot of land, power and wealth, but a challenge which at times would seem almost impossible. ...read more.

This has been in the works for a while now, due in no small part to the mega-success of the films of Marvel's most famous character. Fanboys are already up in arms about what they see as a travesty, but I think it's a good idea. What is that idea? Spider-Man on Broadway. It's happening. Tickets go on sale in June. It sounds like a more faithful adaptation than the dodgy Superman musical from three decades ago, and it has some stellar talent involved, namely half of U2! If I was a U.S resident, my curiosity would drive me to see it for myself. It's a bold move and will hopefully bring in new fans to the comic book medium, or at least get fanboys out of the house – as long as they don't picket the theatre. I can hear it now – "Spidey's a swinger, not a singer!" Press release below.
Webheads, get ready to experience the exploits of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man in an entirely new, exciting way when "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" opens on Broadway!
Mark your calendars now, thwippers, "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" opens on Thursday, February 18, 2010 at Broadway's Hilton Theatre, 213 West 42nd Street. And some lucky Broadway goers will get to see the show when preview performances begin Saturday, January 16, 2010.
Stay tuned to Marvel.com to find out about your chance to purchase tickets to "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" before they go on sale to the general public!
Of course a show starring Spider-Man deserves all-star talent and "Turn Off the Dark" has it in spades! Tony® Award-winner Julie Taymor ("The Lion King," "Across The Universe") is not only directing the musical, but she shares writing credits with Glen Berger. Oh, but there's more! Bono and The Edge, 22-time Grammy® Award-winning members of the legendary band U2 are creating new music and lyrics for the show!
The principal creative and design team for "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" includes Daniel Ezralow, Choreographer ("Across the Universe," "The Green Bird"); George Tsypin, Sets ("The Magic Flute," "The Little Mermaid"); Eiko Ishioka, Costumes (Academy Award® for "Bram Stoker's Dracula," Tony Award® nomination for "M. Butterfly," the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics); Donald Holder, Lighting (Tony® Awards for "The Lion King," "South Pacific"); Jonathan Deans, Sound ("Fosse," The Beatles "LOVE" by Cirque du Soleil, "Young Frankenstein," "Ragtime"); and Teese Gohl, Musical Supervisor ("Across the Universe," "Frida"). Additional members of the "Spider-Man" creative team will be announced at a later date.
Drawing from over 40 years of Marvel comic books for inspiration, "Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark" spins a new take on the mythic tale of a young man propelled from a modest rowhouse in Queens to the sky-scraping spire of the Chrysler Building, the bustling offices of the Daily Bugle, through the dizzying canyons of Manhattan, to new vistas never before seen.
The musical follows the story of teenager Peter Parker, whose unremarkable life is turned upside-down-literally-when he's bitten by a genetically altered spider and wakes up the next morning clinging to his bedroom ceiling. This bullied science-geek-suddenly endowed with astonishing powers-soon learns, however, that with great power comes great responsibility as villains test not only his physical strength but also his strength of character.
Spider-Man's battles will hurtle the audience through an origin story both recognizable and unexpected-yielding new characters as well as familiar faces-until a final surprising confrontation casts a startling new light on this hero's journey.
Casting for "Spider-Man" will be announced soon.
Group tickets now on sale. Single tickets will go on sale June, 2009. For more information about group tickets, visit the "Spider-Man" website atwww.SpidermanOnBroadway.com or by calling 1-800-Broadway.

It looks like we're back to square one again. Dell has matched HP's $2 billion offer to buy 3PAR, and HP upped the ante today with an offer worth $33 per share or $2.4 billion. 3PAR has accepted HP's bid.
Dell had previously signed an agreement to acquire 3PAR for $18 per share or $1.13 billion, with a provision for matching competing bids. HP then effectively outbid the company and offered $1.6 billion, but Dell matched that offer yesterday, after which HP made a renewed bid for $1.8 billion. HP then offered $2 billion last Friday.
According to the release, the 3PAR board of directors has determined that HP's revised proposal constitutes a "Superior Proposal" (as that term is defined in 3PAR's merger agreement with Dell). Accordingly, 3PAR notified Dell of its intention to terminate its merger agreement with Dell immediately following the expiration of the three business day period contemplated by, and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in, its merger agreement with Dell in order to enter into a merger agreement with HP on the terms set forth in HP's revised acquisition proposal.
This latest offer more than doubles Dell's original bid for 3PAR, which was high to begin with. 3PAR provides a virtualized utility storage platform that enables customers to significant drive down cloud computing infrastructure, storage and associated management costs.
It looks like this bidding war has come to an end, folks.

More than a year of lobbying work by general aviation's advocacy groups on the FAA's sleep apnea policy has brought considerable revisions to the agency's original proposal, which would have forced costly sleep studies on pilots even if they had shown no symptoms of the disorder.
The new policy, which takes effect March 2, will not disqualify pilots from receiving a medical certificate based solely on body mass index (BMI). Pilots believed to be at risk for the condition will receive a regular medical certificate and be required to undergo a follow-up assessment. Those who are diagnosed with the condition must receive treatment to continue flying.
"The FAA's new policy, as proposed, will not require a sleep study unless a pilot reports symptoms specifically associated with sleep apnea to their aviation medical examiner," said Sean Elliott, vice president of advocacy and safety for the Experimental Aircraft Association. "We are still studying all the details of this proposed policy, but it is an improvement on the agency's initial proposal more than a year ago that was quite overreaching, mandating additional tests based on Body Mass Index and other indicators even if no symptoms had been present. We found that very intrusive and draconian. EAA felt it was very important to get back to common-sense guidelines that can be primarily addressed between pilots and their local aviation medical examiners."
The new policy "combines a focus on safety with a commonsense approach that lets pilots who haven't been diagnosed with an illness keep flying," added Mark Baker, president of theAircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA).
The issue of sleep apnea came to the forefront in 2013 when the federal air surgeon described a planned policy change in an FAA medical bulletin. Under the original FAA proposal, pilots with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or greater would have been required to undergo testing for sleep apnea by a board certified sleep specialist. The FAA said it planned to expand the policy to include all pilots with a BMI of 30 or greater.
But GA's alphabet groups strongly objected to requiring thousands of pilots to go through expensive and intrusive testing based exclusively on BMI. The groups turned to Congress for assistance, and the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that would have required the FAA to go through the rulemaking process before introducing any new policy on sleep disorders.
In December 2013, the FAA stepped back from its initial announcement and began working with pilots and GA advocacy groups to address concerns about sleep apnea.
Under the new policy, announced Jan. 23, the risk of obstructive sleep apnea will be determined through an integrated assessment of the pilot's medical history and symptoms, as well as physical and clinical findings. Aviation medical examiners will be provided with guidance from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine to assist them in determining each pilot's risk.
Pilots who are determined to be at significant risk will receive a regular medical certificate and undergo a sleep apnea evaluation. That evaluation can be performed by any physician, including the aviation medical examiner, and does not require a sleep study unless the physician believes one is needed.
Pilots will have 90 days to complete the evaluation and forward the results to the FAA's Aerospace Medicine Certification Division, the Regional Flight Surgeon's office, or the aviation medical examiner. Thirty day extensions will be available to pilots who need more time to complete the process.
If the evaluation does not lead to a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, no further action will be required. Pilots who are diagnosed with sleep apnea will then have to send documentation of effective treatment to arrange for a special issuance medical certificate to replace the regular medical certificate issued previously.
The new policy also eliminates the initial plan by the FAA to eventually extend required sleep evaluation to those with a BMI of at least 30. That provision was among the most-opposed by EAA, as it was predictive medicine without evidence of safety benefit that would be extremely costly for pilots, even those without symptoms, association officials noted.
"We appreciate the FAA's willingness to move forward toward a more realistic policy for addressing and treating this disorder within the aviation community," Elliott said.
"It's also important for pilots to be forthcoming with their personal AMEs if they do have sleep apnea symptoms, for their personal safety and that of their passengers," he continued. "This is not simply because it's required within the regulations. As EAA continues to push for medical certificate reform, we are telling regulators, the Administration, and Congress that pilots are responsible when self-certifying their fitness prior to every flight. Reporting and addressing disqualifying conditions by those who have them are essential to our overall goal of wider freedoms for pilot medical certification."

In my previous post, I told you about my ongoing issues with sleeplessness and how a doctor prescribed the sleep aid Ambien in an effort to help me get some rest.
When we last left off, I was telling you about how I tried dyeing my eyelashes in my sleep, as a result of taking the drug.
I would love to tell you that that episode marked the end my relationship with Ambien, but sadly, I continued to take it.
To recap, I knew I was taking more and more Ambien to get the same effects at night. And now I realized that I was getting up during the night and doing crazy stuff in my sleep that I couldn't recall the next day.
In fact, when my daughter saw me covered with black eyelash dye, she told me that she had noticed me doing wild things too, but she figured I was awake.
One night, she said, she had watched me rub Tiger Balm all over my feet and then over the rest of my body. If you've ever used this stuff, then you know how astonishing this is. Tiger Balm is very potent--just a dab on your temple when you have a headache will give you a real sensation of warmth. And here I was, spreading the stuff like frosting on my skin. And that wasn't even enough to wake me up or make me remember it.
But in spite of all of this, I continued to take Ambien. In fact, I couldn't wait until my next dose. Looking back, I was obviously hooked on it, but at the time, I didn't want to believe that I was addicted to a prescription drug. Other people had that problem, not me. I talked myself into believing that it was a harmless medicine that was helping me sleep. That thinking, which I now realize was completely wrong, is what kept me able to justify taking Ambien everyday.
Another issue that I was dealing with while taking the drug was what I called "tanking and hitting the wall." Every day, right around 4 p.m., I would completely bottom out both physically and mentally. If a friend or co-worker asked me a question I felt like it took every ounce of mental energy I had to answer. The simplest tasks took me forever to do. I could no longer think. It was as if someone pulled the plug on my brain. I could no longer function. Period.
This wasn't just some mid-afternoon dip in my energy level—the kind that I know many people have (and the reason the lines start to form at Starbucks again late in the afternoon). It's not like a cup of coffee got me back on track for the rest of the day. At 4 p.m., I was done.
But it wasn't until the serious physical problems began that I really started to wake up and smell the coffee about Ambien.
For example, I began having tingling sensations in my arms and legs (and no, it wasn't the day after I had slathered Tiger Balm all over myself). That scared me, but I wasn't ready to admit to myself that my beloved Ambien was at fault.
Then right around that same time, I went in for my annual gynecological exam and during the breast exam, my doctor found a lump in my left breast. I was sent in for an ultrasound, and my doctor found two more—a second one on the left side, and one on the right.
My doctor said we needed to watch the lumps for the next several months to see if they changed in anyway. One lump in particular concerned her the most. I told her that I didn't want to wait—that if a lump needed to be removed, to go ahead and schedule a time to do it.
I left the office and my head was spinning. I remember thinking to myself "I have a big problem, and I need to figure this out."
I don't know if it was a higher power talking to me or my own intuition or what, but all of the sudden, I decided to drive to the Safeway pharmacy where I picked up my Ambien.
When I got there, I told the pharmacist "I need you to give me what the side effects are for Ambien. Not the list that you give to your customers, but the list that the drug company gives you."
Bless his heart, he didn't question me. He went back, retrieved it from the box and handed me this booklet filled with extremely small print, detailing the side effects of the drug.
Please keep this in mind as a tip—always ask the pharmacist for the insert that the pharmaceutical company gives out. Then, if you ever have side effects, you can check the full list for information. The pharmacists seem very willing to give them out, so make sure you ask.
As I read through the side effects, I felt sick to my stomach.
Tingling in arms and legs. Breast tumors. Brain function completely gone. Sleepwalking.
Everything that I had been dealing with was on those pages. Never, not once, did anyone warn me about these particular side effects.
The following week my husband Ed and I traveled to Europe for a vacation. While we were on a sail boat, I took my bottle of Ambien and threw it over the side into the water.
Ed turned to me and said "Thank God—I might get my wife back now."
Bless his heart, he had never said a word to me about it until then.
I will remember that moment for the rest of my life.
Of course, quitting Ambien cold turkey was not exactly easy—I pretty much didn't sleep for the rest of our vacation. But as the days went by, I could feel the real me coming back. Within 2 days, I got my brain function back and no longer hit the wall at 4 p.m. The tingling went away. The sleepwalking ended. And although I did opt to get one breast lump removed, the other 2 completely went away on their own, and looking back, I bet the 3rd one would have gone away as well.
My husband got his wife back. And I got myself back too.

Rihanna isn't usually worried about showing a little skin, but she ditched the skimpy hotpants and cropped tees to head out in New York in this camoflage onesie from her own River Island collection.
Obviously, rather than looking like she'd gone for the cosy option, Rihanna unzipped her all-in-one to create a plunging neckline, and styled it with an array of accessories.
She opted for a black G4LIFE beanie, also from her RI collection which launches in early September, and a pair of black lace-up low top trainers, to create her signature street style vibe.
She also added a selection of gold jewellery and a pair of oversized black sunnies for a couple of blinged-up final touches.
It seems like camo might be Ri-Ri's must have AW print this year, as we've seen her rocking it in all sorts of ways recently from trousers to bra tops, onesies to beanies.

Thank you for your generous gift!
What happens to the gifts we give?
Your gifts, given so generously through the stewardship of treasure, are used to touch, help, and heal others across our parish and diocese. Your offertory gift is the life blood of our daily parish ministry and supports all our programs and costs which help change lives for the better. Your CSA gift supports ministry across our diocese including some in our parish.
How much should I give?
It is not the gift, but the intention to give that is most important. Any amount given to the Parish is always meaningful and appreciated. The tithe spoken of in the Bible is 10%. We recommend parishioners give 5% of their gross income to the parish in their offertory gift, that 1% be used to support diocesan ministry through your CSA (Catholic Sharing Appeal) commitment, and the balance of 4% for other charitable causes. Some families are able to give more and other families can not give as much. Others choose to tithe the total amount of 10% to the parish to simplify their giving plan. We ask that you prayerfully consider your gift of treasure for the coming year.
If you are a visitor to our parish community, we invite you to use the online giving link to make a one-time donation. Your donations help us continue to serve the many travelers to our area.
Thank you!

Malta eye positive results against Latvia and IsraelTuesday, October 4, 2011, 12:33
Malta face another double header in the space of four days when they are due to face Latvia in Riga on Friday 7th October and then come up against Israel the following Tuesday at Ta' Qali National Stadium. Both matches are valid for the Euro Championship 2012 Group F.
These matches will present our mentors with a gauge as to what extent our recent improvement, quality wise, can be sustained. The match in Latvia will be a stiff test for the team guided by John Buttigieg, primarily because we shall be performing in alien conditions.
Inspite of these difficulties we should feel confident of turning in a good display and possibly obtain a satisfactory result, which at best could increase our meagre points' tally.
The same could be said when we play Israel on home soil, four days later. The Maltese supporters only hope that playing in front of the home crowd will not be counter productive and place undue mental pressure on our players. At least when we faced Georgia in our last Group F match we managed to overcome this complex and put up some quality fare.
In seven matches against Israel we managed only two draws and contrived five defeats, most of which, albeit, by a tight scoreline. This time our clan hopes to go one better and register a first victory against opponents who are ranked higher than us.
In the matches between Malta and Latvia there is equilibrium since out of four encounters each team won two matches.
Against Israel if we can throw our inhibitions overboard and maintain our concentration throughout the whole match it is within our capabilities to obtain a positive result against a team which will regard this encounter as one of prestige, given that they are lying third in the table with no chance of qualifying for the final stages. Nevertheless, this tension-free element on the part of Israel may well help them produce their best.
No doubt, Malta will do their utmost to strike their first success against our visitors on the 11th October. The boys in Red will certainly deserve the wholehearted support from the public at Ta' Qali.
Previous matches between Malta and Israel:

Everyone loves to make fun of Coachella – it's a pretty easy target, and at times it feels kind of like an SNL parody of itself – bands with names that could only be imagined while on Mushrooms, outfits that look like Game of Thrones costumes (or maybe the classy softcore porn version of GOT at least), a rainbow of wristbands worn like bangles in some African tribe as status symbols to show everyone else how VIP you truly are, it's a world with its own language and rituals… but at the center of it are people. Friends. Tribes. And with the exception of a few dramatic moments regarding cellphone reception, a slightly bad trip, an overpriced uber, or a long line at Spicy Pie, everyone is having a good time. You look into a sea of thousands of people from all over the world, all of them different and unique and beautiful, and you see smiles on their faces, hands in the air, and you realize for at least a brief moment we're all in this together… and it's pretty fantastic.
The best part about Coachella is seeing your friends, the ones who live 7,000 miles away and only visit once a year, the ones who live a few blocks away and you see every day… the ones you swore you'd never lose track of, but it's still good to bump into behind the main stage, and the ones you swore you'd never speak to again but you realize time heals all wounds. ~ Steven Meiers @toastycakes

While we've had a few slight hints from director JA Bayone and producer/writer Colin Trevorrow about the pending sequel to Jurassic World and the direction of the storyline, there hasn't been a massive amount of concrete news. Today, we have a little bit of an update to reveal, as the sequel has scored another new casting addition in the form of the impeccably named Justice Smith.
Having gained plaudits for his role as resourceful teen Ezekiel 'Zeke' Figuero in Netflix's hard-hitting musical drama The Get Down, Smith represents another solid casting addition off the back of this latest Netflix success story. There's no word yet on exactly who he's playing, but it's nice to have him on board nonetheless.
Smith joins a cast that already includes the returning Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, in addition to series newcomers Toby Jones and Rafe Spall. JA Bayona will direct from a script penned by Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly, with Belén Atienza, Patrick Crowley and Frank Marshall attached as producers, and Trevorrow also executive producing with Steven Spielberg and Thomas Tull.
Jurassic World 2 will be released in cinemas on 8 June 2018. For all the latest movie news, pick up the new issue of SciFiNow.

Culture is defined as "group norms of behaviour and the underlying shared values that help keep those norms in place." For example, look at the typical meetings in your office. Is everyone on time or do meetings usually start five to ten minutes later than schedule?
What about attention to detail? Do final project reports receive a thorough review and commentary or are they filed as received? These scenarios represent organizational culture.
If your employees are stressed, overwhelmed, or procrastinate on deadlines, or if your company is always underperforming, don't blame your employees. Blame your organization's leaders.
An organization's leaders or founders establish values that permeate through the organization and manifest in behaviours. The more these behaviours loop back to the leaders' own values, the more they are reinforced and perpetuated throughout the organization.
To change an organization's culture, the leaders must change their own values and behaviours. They can do this by creating a vision for the company and telling the story about how working toward the vision will help the company and its employees grow.
In addition, leaders need to be persuasive and model the behaviour that they wish to see from their employees; frequently engaging in conversations with all staff to "sell" the vision and inspire their staff. This is the correct approach.
An incorrect approach to changing organizational culture is through disincentives such as coercion, threats, or punishment. All of these "power tools" may work to incite change in employees' or departmental behaviours, but the change is temporary at best. Using power tools to influence cultural change is not sustainable or desirable.
Here are four considerations for changing your organization's culture to one that is efficient, productive and effective:
Sell the new vision and enlist early adopters and those that are on the fence to join you in selling the vision. Once they do, ensure that they are recognized for their accomplishments.
Don't just preach about the need for change. Use examples from your company that demonstrate an urgency for change. For instance, have managers take calls from disgruntled customers to understand why customers are cancelling orders at the last minute, leaving the company in the hole by $100,000 for each product design prototype that is not purchased.
Redistribute resources to the 20 percent of areas that produce 80 percent of the company's results. These are areas where implementing change first will have a tremendous impact organization-wide.
Enlist an individual in your company called a "consigliere" (source: Blue Ocean Strategy). This individual will find out who is fighting change, who is supporting change, and what you need to do to build strategies for sustainable change.
To this last point, a stumbling block to any change initiative is typically an "old guard" mentality that is steadfastly held, usually by long-time employees. Leaders must expect to spend a great deal of time with these individuals to get them to buy into the organization's new vision, so that they don't disrupt the new way forward.
Changing an organization's culture is probably one of the hardest things that leaders will do. It's a slow process, but the rewards of working in a vibrant company where respect and appreciation of everyone's time are top of mind will go a long way to ensuring long term organizational and personal success.

Today when i started streaming i noticed that my bot wasn't greeting people when they came into my channel. Then i noticed it wasn't updating the "live Accounts" tab. It seems it can identify itself when it joins the channel and says "name" has joined the conversation. This doesn't happen for any other account that does join my channels chat. Have any clue what could be causing this issue? Ultimate Twitch Bot Ver.- 22.214.171.124I didn't make any changes when i logged into ultimate twitch bot today all i did was press connect and left it at that.http://imgur.com/V0EYt29 -imageThanks for making this awesome bot! I find it very useful. I will donate when i can for sure! Keep up the great work.

New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet is "part of a small minority at U.S. news outlets," Monica Anderson writes for Pew. "[I]n newspaper newsrooms, the percentage of overall staffers and supervisors who are black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American or multiracial has remained virtually unchanged in the past two decades." Anderson uses data from the American Society of News Editors census to chart that stagnation:
The percentage of minority journalists in newspaper newsrooms edged up by a miserable .05 percentage points in 2012, even as absolute numbers fell by 300 positions. The decline counts as stagnation because minority journalists lost newspaper jobs at about the same rate as journalists overall.

All Ball, Raised by a Gorilla
Koko loved books about cats. So, one year the gorilla – famous for learning 1,000 words in American Sign Language – asked her trainers for a kitten as a Christmas present. They complied, giving her a stuffed cat. But that greatly upset Koko, who wanted the real thing. She got her wish several months later, when her trainers at the Gorilla Institute near Stanford University let her select a Manx kitten as her birthday present.
Koko, who loved rhyming words, named the fluffy bundle All Ball. The two quickly bonded. Koko mothered her precious kitty, trying to nurse him and often cuddling and petting him. The two also played daily. But a mere five months after Koko adopted All Ball, he escaped the research facility, wandered onto a nearby highway and was run over.
Koko was devastated, first refusing to acknowledge the news and then sobbing. Thirty years passed. In 2015, on Koko's 44th birthday, she received two kittens, Ms. Gray and Ms. Black, whom she bonded with instantly. Her two new pets were probably the best birthday presents she'd ever received since All Ball [sources: McGraw, Kratochwill].

Enemy Info
|Stone Location
|Archylte Steppe - Northern Highplain
|Mark Location
|Archylte Steppe - Central Expanse
|Additional Foes
|Adroa x5
|Initial Reward
|Frost Ring x2
|Repeat Reward
|Bomb Shell x3
|Mission 05
My focus this time appears to be dispatching an adroa on the Archylte Steppe. I don't know how many years have passed since the fal'Cie last called upon me, but there seem to be more beasts about. Not that it matters. Provided I can complete my Focus and retain my master's favor, I will never die. And a little hardship is a small price to pay for an eternity of peaceful dreaming.
Your task for this mission is to hunt and kill the Adroa in the Ascendant Scarp. Turn right and head along the canyon wall (on the radar map this is to the South, but if you look at the big map it is oriented visually up but it is still South). Use the jump points to head down until you reach the next save point and use it. When you jump down the next point you will end up in a fight with a Svarog worth an easy 920 CP! Fight your way through various groups of mobs until you reach the split and bear to the right, and you will find a pack of Adroa.
As you are fighting a Verdelet and an Ugallu - I am not sure whether the Adroa summoned them or they are simply add's but either way you have to kill them as well since they become part of the active fight. The Verd can be a little tough until you get it staggered, after which it goes down very fast. The fight nets us a whopping 4,800 CP - not a bad take really - and the Mission Complete flag of course. There is a Treasure Sphere nearby with 2 lumps of Milerite in it - go ahead and grab that now, then backtrack to the save point and use it to save your current progress. Now use the jump point to drop down to the northeast and use the stone here to trigger the next mission!
