"First thought, best thought"
We began Craniosacral Therapy: Introduction by entering a space that was clearly intended to invoke mindfulness and attention to the senses. A double-circle of artful Soul Cards lay in the middle of the room, surrounding a purple-glass vase with lovely purple and green flowers. A few small candles were lit and the soundscape was neutral. It was evident that the instructor, Jeremy Manalis, took great care in providing an environment that was conducive for awareness and safe for exploration. Little did I know that we also were being prepared to learn a technique that was as subtle, yet as powerful as the environment itself.
After we were welcomed with a thorough overview of the course activities, we were asked to share two thoughts that came to mind: what we would like to feel when we left class on Sunday and what we might be fearful of when approaching the work. At one point, a classmate questioned her first thought, which was met by Jeremy with a warm and gentle smile and the phrase, "First thought, best thought."
~Movement and Unwinding~
The method through which Jeremy expresses his instruction is grounded in Hugh Milnes work in Visionary Craniosacral Therapy using the Liquid-Electric model. Rather than a more manual and agenda-focused therapy, the Liquid-Electric model was explained as a following of the natural rhythms and movement of the craniosacral system to restore balance and calm to the central nervous system.
My felt experience of craniosacral work has evolved over time. It began with a chiropractic student who practiced the work with me during my pregnancy; I remember laying there thinking, This is bunk&theres no way anything is happening in my body. Eventually I received a combination of Shiatsu and Craniosacral Therapy from a colleague: Jolene Kelley. Her style infuses gentle presence, intuitive awareness and extraordinary communication. At one point in the session, she held my right ASIS while supporting my sacrum. I immediately felt an incredible urge to move, to rock and stretch, and asked Jolene to hold my feet so I could feel more grounded.
This is something I had only experienced once before in massage school while receiving Myofascial Unwinding; the desire to move on a massage table! Sometimes, it feels as though theres an unspoken rule that youre supposed to relax and lay still while re- ceiving a massage. This was not the case I was encouraged to move as my body felt appropriate. After a few minutes of rocking and stretching, I noticed a lightening of the sensation and a relaxing wave wash over me. It was incredible work which inspired me to find out more.
Thats where Craniosacral Intro came into play. What I really appreciated about the way in which we learned the work was the sheer amount of time spent on integrating mindfulness with science learning about the system with which wed be working from a variety of as- pects before laying hands on each other. I was pleasantly surprised to experience an anatomy lesson on the bones of the skull, intertwined with the personalities or energy that each bone represented within our bodies. Jeremy also introduced a style of yoga, yin yoga, which was much more restorative, and brought subtle movement awareness to our systems; grounding our spinal columns, feeling Earths gravity pulling and supporting us all at the same time.
~Practicing and Patience~
I discovered another thing about myself through practicing the work; patience and quiet pays off. Before taking the second class offered at OSM, Craniosacral Therapy Level 1, I decided to exchange with colleagues to help me connect more with the work. I learned a lot through those trades; in one, a lesson of full disclosure of health history and being fully present and aware of the body in your hands, in another, patience for myself and for the client as their process unfolds in its own, unique way.
As I traded, I noticed something very different about myself as a traditional, Western Neuromuscular Therapy practitioner; my mind was calm when I participated in this process with a client, it was in a place of curiosity and connection, creating a balance between scientific knowledge about the bones and tapping into the deeper knowing and intuition of my body. At one point, as my hands supported my partners pubic bone and sacrum, my mind kept saying, Theres nothing happening here, just move on, while my hands were like glue, waiting for something to unfold. I decided to trust my hands, to release the need for something specific to happen, and breathe. Immediately following that breath, my partner began to unwind, to cry, to release. Patience works.
~Chaos Before Order~
We began the Level 1 weekend with 3 questions, spoken to us during our group meditation: What does your body feel like today? What does your body need? What do you want to get out of this class? My body felt electric and orange, huge and external. My body needed cooling water, coming to center, going inward. When I heard the third question, there was silence, nothing. So thats what I gave as my answer I wanted nothing from this class. I wanted stillness nothing embracing the void.
Throughout the weekend, I felt free to move as my body wished, to roll with the tides, to undulate and to stretch or shake. Over the past year, Ive really embraced the movement my body wishes to express and have felt incredibly liberated. On the last day, as Jeremy, lectured about the zygomatic arch technique, a decompression, that could impact the way we face the world, how our spirit expresses its bravery and strength or weakness and fear, I felt in my gut that this was going to be something big for me because I had experienced severe facial trauma when I was in a car crash at the age of 15.
My partner began by working with my temporal bones via the ear and the first sensation I experienced was tension and discomfort. As I communicated my experience to her, we realized it was because she didnt have support for her arms to fully relax, so that tension was being communicated through her arms. Jeremy brought her a pillow and immediately, her arms re- laxed and my face began to unwind through my neck.
I rolled all over the place, stretched, yawned, hummed; my partner even began to hum with me and it felt like the small vibrations created with the sound were loosening the tension in the intricate connections of my skull. Once the humming stopped and she moved to my zygomatic arch, she brought my face to the midline. I began to feel a great emotion welling up within my body, my face became heavy, sad and full of tears. Almost instantaneously, with a flow that felt just right, my body became a great huffing, sniffing, buzzing beast on the table. I convulsed and cried and shook. I began to see images of myself after the wreck, as we waited for the ambulance; I had gotten out of the truck and was pacing, swearing, angry at the driver, living in severe survival mode. My face bloody, I looked in the mirror and picked out pieces of glass, staring into the eyes of a frightened animal.
I was still huffing, rhythmically, and said, Im going to pass out. Just then, still on the table, I heard a voice coming through; it was Jeremy. Open your eyes, look at your partner, shes here with you, Im here with you, the whole class is here with you. It was at that point that I connected with my breath and knew I needed to come back from that place and let it pass through me. I looked up and saw my partners glowing face, her sincere, brown eyes, and felt an intense and incredible energy buzzing throughout my body. As I continued to calm my breath, the buzzing began to subside, my eyes looked through a haze of tears at the ceiling tiles just staring past them. I was calming, cooling, coming to center.
~Finding My Midline~
It wasnt over yet; my partner asked if I wanted to experience the maxillae technique, where the practitioner puts two, gloved pointer fingers into your mouth to provide a fulcrum for the maxillae to unwind upon. I had a bit of a headache after the previous release, so thought it would help. As she worked with my maxillae, my neck began unwinding again, fighting for a place in my body. My head throbbed, and I asked her to get Jeremy over again, as we couldnt find a place of relief.
As he came over, he acknowledged me and held my head. I began to move, to roll, which is when I heard his voice explaining that my head was in balance, yet it was having a hard time connecting to my neck. I said, My neck and head need to create a relationship. Moments later, Jeremy moved my head to a place where he said, Thats your midline, hold it, feel the stillness. I realized at that moment what I hadnt been aware of before: in all the permission I gave myself to move as I wished, I never gave myself permission to be still, or to move from that midline and centered place. I had often segregated the two as if they couldnt co-exist.
Relief washed over my body and stillness came. Jeremy stepped away, giving me permis- sion to take care of myself and skip the trade with my partner. I laid there for quite some time, feeling into my midline, feeling my center, connecting with my neck and head, talking to them about their relationship. When I felt it was time, I sat up, wrapped a blanket around myself, and meditated in my power for about 20 to 30 minutes. I felt as though I was an old, wise woman, sitting on a mountaintop. My bottom melted into the table, into the legs, into the floor. My heart felt huge, expansive and somehow calm in all the bustle of the class. I moved a little, but always around that midline, around that center, like a maypole being wound and unwound repeatedly.
~The Path Ahead~
I learned to trust my body, trust the perspective of my teacher and partners, to allow space for the uncertainty of my head settling into comfort with my neck. I trusted my intuition that day, my knowing that this was a safe space and I was willing to be completely present with my process and feel into it. I embraced the change that came over me, the connection to my classmates and teacher and took a risk that unfolded and fostered a connection within my body. Perhaps my experience may be a bit more dramatic than that which typically happens in a classroom, that the sense of safety I felt was from within, and yet I feel that it was an expireence worth sharing. Ultimately, there is so much more to this work than I can express. I look forward to the path ahead; learning about the dance between body and mind, spirit and science, bones and fluid. This is a dance that speaks the language of my soul.

Alternative Dispute Resolution
While LGK lawyers have over 75 years of combined courtroom experience, they also know that more often than not, the best resolution comes from talking through differences in a conference room rather than before a judge or jury in a courtroom. Our attorneys practice alternative dispute resolution (ADR). They have specialized mediation, evaluation and arbitration training. We are routinely appointed by judges or parties to assist with resolving disputes, in civil arbitration and in the areas of marital dissolutions and child custody cases.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) include several processes designed to help people resolve legal problems without needing a judge to decide the issue. ADR involves an independent, impartial third person, called a "neutral", who tries to help resolve or narrow the areas of conflict. The use of ADR early in a court case can result in more efficient, cost-effective resolution of disputes with greater satisfaction to the parties. Most civil cases, including family law cases, filed in Minnesota courts are settled by using ADR. Minnesota courts recognize the effectiveness of ADR as a tool for settling disputes; most parties are required to use ADR to help resolve the dispute.
In family court, ADR can be a facilitative process, an adjudicative process or an evaluative process. A facilitative process is mediation, where the mediator help the parties compromise and make their own decision. An adjudicative process is like a court hearing, binding or nonbinding; the neutral role may be an Arbitrator, a Parenting Consultant or Parenting Time Expeditor. An evaluative process has the neutral gather information and give an opinion or recommendation.
A "neutral" is a person who provides an ADR process. A "qualified neutral" is a person who is included on the State Court Administrator's roster. To be on that list, the person must have completed training and continuing education requirements. All qualified neutrals must have a minimum of 30 hours of training. Three LGK attorneys routinely work as neutrals. Suzanne Kvas is a member of the panel of arbitrators with the American Arbitration Association.
All qualified neutrals serving in family law must have additional training. To be a neutral for family law mediation the neutral must have had 40 hours of training, including the psychological issues related to separation and divorce, family dynamics, needs of children, family law including custody and visitation, support, asset distribution and evaluation, and taxation as it relates to divorce; economics and domestic abuse. To be a neutral for family law evaluative process, the neutral must have specialized training. After the neutral completes training, she can be listed on the "Rule 114 Roster." Rule 114 neutrals are also required to keep up their skills through required education.
We have alternative dispute resolution experience in the area of civil and family law and provide the following services:
Civil Arbitration: Suzanne is a member of the panel of arbitrators with the American Arbitration Association and is routinely selected by parties to act as their arbitrator. She has many years of experience as a civil arbitrator.
Mediation: Barbara are qualified neutrals in civil and family law mediation.
Custody/Parenting Time Evaluations, and Early Neutral Evaluations (SENE and FENE): Barbara are qualified neutrals for family law evaluative processes and have completed the training for Early Neutral Evaluations, both social and financial. Barbara is on the ENE roster for the First, Second and Tenth Judicial Districts which include the counties of Ramsey, Dakota, Scott, Carver and Washington.
Parenting Time Expeditor And Parenting Consultant: Barbara are qualified family law neutrals to be Parenting Time Expeditors and Parenting Consultants. Over the years, they have served in this capacity for many families and have been appointed to many cases by the court. They have the necessary training and experience to help families find creative solutions to their family law issues.

It's a cold, cold world out there for people on foot. While Mayor Hick had his scraping fleets quadruple-plowing the main drags during and after the second blast of holiday snow, as if to prove a point (I imagine him riding atop the biggest plow in town, waving his biggest cowboy hat in a pre-stock-show exposition of civic enthusiasm), the mounds of dirty snow piled up higher and higher along the edges of the roadways: miniature Himalayas that taunted unwilling urban outdoor adventurers to climb their ragged peaks. I might add that, from my own personal point of view, a mid-storm fire-hydrant mishap in the neighborhood left Mississippi (and the alley in my complex) an inpenetrable ice rink. I'm thinking seriously of switching to skates altogether.
I live near Monaco and Mississippi and take the 83L bus to work; it's a quick and direct route, but a walk of a few blocks from my home, which normally takes no more than ten minutes to traverse. After the first storm, RTD did have buses running when I returned to work on Friday, but on a holiday schedule that left the suddenly popular transit option overcrowded and risky. Some people stood in the street, watching overladen buses pass them by. I was lucky, although there was no place to catch my bus unless I also walked down the middle of Leetsdale Drive alongside the approaching motor-behemoth. Like mine, most stops were completely buried.

Nearly two weeks later, I've tried just about every route I can think of just to get to my bus stop, only to find that there's still no bus stop to be seen. I've zig-zagged through parking lots, climbed gritty, icy peaks and skated down sidewalks where the constant melt-and-freeze routine's left ice as smooth as, well, ice: pure, unadulterated ice passable only to mountain goats and Apolo Ohno. You've got to be surefooted, in other words, to cross these vast, steely sheets. Or very, very quick. And then you hope the driver sees you.

The January transfer window at Arsenal was a pretty big one, especially with Alexis Sanchez, Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott departing. Stripping a squad, who let's face it, are struggling to stay in touch with the Top 4, of that talent is going to have an impact. Arsenal worked diligently to bring in Henrikh Mkhitaryan in a swap deal for Sanchez, but the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund is the one which really stands out for me.
First of all, this signing should have happened years ago in my opinion. While Aubameyang isn't a typical "Arsene Wenger player" he has all the attributes to be a huge success in the Premier League and has already shown what he's about. Yes, he's raw and at times a bit untidy, but he has electric pace and pace causes problems against any side. He's also an accomplished finisher too. Therefore, Gunners fans will be betting on Pierre-Emerick being the first goalscorer in all upcoming matches, and anyone who wants to keep up with the striker's performance and online betting should visit great sites like Betting (dot) com.
At times you could say that Arsenal are a side who try and walk the ball into the goal, they can overplay it. With Aubameyang they have a player who's always playing on the shoulder, he's waiting to pounce on that final ball; and Arsenal will more than likely find themselves playing that pass to him more often than not. His goal scoring record certainly stands up to scrutiny too. At former club Borussia Dortmund he played 213 times, scoring 141 goals, providing 36 assists. The Gabon international is quite simply an elite striker.
What we also saw while Aubameyang was at Dortmund was him utilised effectively as a wide player too. He's still lightening quick, even at 28, and shows no signs of slowing down. While it's not his only attribute, pace is a big part of Auba's game and he can certainly deliver from wide too. Over the course of his career he's played 100 times as a right winger, scoring 39 goals and setting up 23. That's a record that any of the top wide players around would be proud of. It gives Arsene Wenger the chance to mix things up if he wanted to play Danny Welbeck or Alexandre Lacazette for example.
Aubameyang's arrival at the Emirates will also be enhanced further by Henrikh Mkhitaryan also joining the club in the window too. The pair played together at Borussia Dortmund for three seasons and formed a great understanding on the pitch. Their understanding on the pitch for Arsenal won't take long to reform and this could be a great weapon for the Gunners over the course of the rest of the season.
While Alexandre Lacazette is a superb player in his own right, so far he's failed to hit the heights expected of him. Aubameyang has come in and immediately hit the ground running, Arsenal already look like they have a totally new dimension to their game. Auba will score goals for the Gunners and plenty of them and these could be integral in getting them back into the mix for a Top 4 finish.

Yep, while Tony was doing all that killing and getting all that blood on his hands, 'ol Shulkie just stood by and did absolutely nothing about it. She's morally guilty of watching crimes be committed and looking the other way. How could she have just stood there and watched Tony run amok like that and not do anything about it?

USMCA Goes Into Effect
Deal Could Lead to Greater Market Access to Canada and Mexico, But Trade Disputes Remain
OMAHA (DTN) -- As the sun rose Wednesday, it brought with it the dawn of a new era as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement goes into effect.
Not a lot will change, and there are already some concerns about when some provisions will translate into greater market access for areas such as dairy.
USMCA could increase U.S. agricultural exports by about $2 billion as part of the forecast that the trade deal will increase gross domestic product overall by about $65 billion. Poultry and egg sales are both expected to grow to Canada. About 12% of the boost in agricultural sales, or about $242 million, is expected to come from higher dairy sales to Canada as well.
U.S. agricultural exports to Canada amounted to $20.9 billion in 2019 and $19.2 billion to Mexico, ranking them No. 1 and 2 in sales.
Overall, after three years of negotiations and tariff disputes, USMCA "provides certainty" for agriculture -- a repeated theme among agricultural leaders discussing the new trade deal. For most major ag products, such as corn, pork and beef, USMCA allows continued zero-tariff access to the two largest agricultural export markets.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, pointed out the certainty for agriculture on Tuesday as he credited President Donald Trump for renegotiating NAFTA to get USMCA completed. "For President Trump, tomorrow marks the completion of another promise made and kept," Grassley said.
Yet, Grassley also said Tuesday he wants the U.S. Trade Representative's Office to use all the tools available to deal with an issue the U.S. is already facing with Mexico.
"That country has quit approving biotech traits for U.S. companies, and they have offered no satisfactory explanation for the lack of approvals," Grassley said.
Trade Ambassador Robert Lighthizer had told Congress two weeks ago he might sue Mexico if the country doesn't start approving biotech products again. Lighthizer said Mexico has not approved any new biotech products in the past two years.
Rep. Collin Peterson, D-Minn., said in a separate call on Tuesday that implementation of USMCA "is a very positive thing at a time when we need signs of positive action in agriculture." Peterson said agriculture "needs to be vigilant" because there are signs of more trade barriers on the horizon.
Dave Milligan, Michigan farmer and president of the National Association of Wheat Growers, pointed out Mexico became the top buyer of U.S. wheat under NAFTA. The USMCA deal will provide some balance with Canada now because U.S. farmers selling registered wheat varieties into Canada will no longer have their wheat priced as feed-grade levels.
"There is probably a little fine-tuning that needs to be done with that," Milligan said of the wheat trade.
John Newton, chief economist for the American Farm Bureau Federation, noted NAFTA was already good for agriculture. He pointed to expected greater access for U.S. dairy products, as well as egg and poultry sales. Other tweaks in USMCA clarify biotechnology access as well.
"From our perspective, NAFTA was good for agriculture. They made some meaningful changes in dairy, poultry and wheat, and I think we want to make sure they live up to their commitments under USMCA, especially on the dairy side," Newton said. "At this point, all eyes are on the continued success of our trade with our largest markets."
Former Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, now president and CEO of the U.S. Dairy Export Council, said Canada has two major issues to resolve to better open up dairy access for producers: opening up tariff rate quotas (TRQs) and eliminating two classes of milk Canada had created specifically to protect its markets.
The trade agreement is expected to provide roughly 3.6% more access to the Canadian dairy market. Initially, it was expected the new access would allow the U.S. dairy industry to negotiate directly with Canadian buyers such as retailers and food-service operators. Instead, what Canada has done so far is try to funnel U.S. dairy products through just three major dairy processors.
"Probably most of those major buyers will not need the products that we now have the greater capacity to sell," Vilsack said. "So, while we have the TRQs, as long as we have to funnel through these three buyers, we're not going to be able to fully utilize the TRQ. If we were able to negotiate directly with retailers and food-service companies, we're confident that we'd be able to sell more products."
When it comes to eliminating Canada's Class VI and Class VII milk, Canada will have six months starting Wednesday to eliminate those programs, which were put in place in 2016 specifically to reduce U.S. dairy sales to Canadian processors.
Dairy exporters have already raised concerns with the U.S. Trade Representative's office to get the attention of Canadian counterparts.
"We thought this agreement was going to give us the ability to more aggressively pursue opportunities in the Canadian market, but at least at this point, that's not what the Canadians are willing to do," Vilsack said.
Over the long term, Vilsack said, U.S. dairy should see growing exports to Canada, but that greater market access won't happen immediately.
While Mexico has been the top market for U.S. dairy, Mexico now is implementing a new inspection process that puts "a far less onerous requirement" on its domestic processors. There are also some concerns over the state of the Mexican economy, which was struggling even before COVID-19 hit. The foodservice and tourism industries, alone, in Mexico will continue to struggle.
Even as agriculture celebrates USMCA, other trade challenges are flaring up. Earlier in June, the House and Senate parliamentarians ruled that the chambers could vote on resolutions to withdraw from the World Trade Organization. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said the House will not take up such a measure, but the Senate still could. Some in agriculture are already expressing concerns.
"Withdrawal from WTO would be a brutal blow for American agriculture," said John Bode, president of the National Corn Refiners on a call about USMCA.
A lot of people also don't understand the significance of moving the U.S. out of the WTO, Vilsack said.
"As it relates to agriculture, essentially what it would do is put us at a competitive disadvantage from a tariff perspective," Vilsack said. "It would also make it much more difficult for us to respond to any kind of a barrier that was non-scientific -- that was not rules based."

When police pull motorists over, they must have probable cause. DUI checkpoints, however, work a little differently. Typically, the police set up roadblocks near highways or busy intersections and stop drivers to look for signs of impairment. DUI roadblocks are most likely to be set up when there is higher potential for drunk driving, like around holidays or big events. This practice is allowed in many states in order to combat drunk driving and it is believed to prevent numerous injuries and fatalities every year.
Sobriety checkpoints have naturally been the subject of controversy as the authorities are allowed to stop drivers and speak with them without having probable cause. There are rules governing these checkpoints and the police do not have free rein to stop every driver for no reason. These "random" checks are only partly left to chance. The police must establish a pattern for stopping drivers, like stopping every fourth or fifth car. Police cannot opt to stop vehicles with a certain make or model or stop only those of a certain gender or race.
Checkpoints are not meant to take up much of a sober driver's time and should generally last the same amount of time as a red light. Reasonable suspicion is needed for anything more than briefly stopping and questioning a driver. An officer can only ask a driver to undergo sobriety testing if there is evidence that would cause a reasonable officer to suspect intoxication. Examples of evidence may include the smell of alcohol on a motorist, slurred speech or an open alcohol container in the vehicle. To arrest or further detain a driver after testing, there must be more evidence that indicates impairment, like the results of a breath test or field sobriety testing.
After sobriety checkpoints were introduced, critics believed that these stops were a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which protects people against unlawful search and seizures. The legitimacy of checkpoints was upheld in 1990 in the U.S. Supreme Court decision Michigan Department of State Police v. Sitz. The court found that checkpoints do not violate the Fourth Amendment because the stops are only minimally invasive to drivers but are important to the state's "grave and legitimate" interest in reducing drunk driving.
DUI checkpoints are federally sanctioned, but states are not required to set up any roadblocks. There are 12 states that do not conduct checks:
Indeed, checkpoints are illegal entirely according to the state constitutions of Minnesota, Oregon and Michigan. Texas' interpretation of the SCOTUS decision makes random DWI stops illegal, while state court decisions prohibit them in Washington and Rhode Island.
Sobriety checkpoints have been found to reduce alcohol-related accidents and fatalities by 18 to 24 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Alcohol-related crashes cost America more than $132 billion every year, and it is estimated that communities save up to $23 for each dollar that funds checkpoints. Federal grants are sometimes used, which helps keep costs low.
The police are not required to announce when or where checkpoints will be conducted, but the public is frequently informed anyway. The act of announcing checkpoints act as a deterrent as people may be less willing to drink and drive, knowing the police are on the roadways looking for impaired drivers.
If you are arrested as the result of a DUI checkpoint, a DUI lawyer could help you learn what steps to take next. In some cases, checkpoints are found to be run incorrectly, which could invalidate evidence of a DUI. Additionally, if an officer did not have reasonable suspicion to test you further, evidence against you may be barred from being used in court.
This article is intended to be helpful and informative. But even common legal matters can become complex and stressful. A qualified drunk driving lawyer can address your particular legal needs, explain the law, and represent you in court. Take the first step now and contact a local drunk driving attorney to discuss your specific legal situation.

You may be aware of the government's new plans to "make it easier for individuals and businesses to get their tax right and keep on top of their affairs", if you have not yet heard and you have a VAT registered business with a taxable income of over £85,000 you need to start planning how you are going to comply with this new legislation when it comes into force.
From April 2019 all VAT registered businesses whose turnover exceeds £85,000 will no longer be able to use the HMRC website to submit their VAT return. Your records must be kept digitally and you must file your VAT return through software compatible with MTD.
If your turnover is, at present, below £85,000 but then you exceed the threshold after April 2019 you must be MTD compliant for the next VAT period commencing after you exceed £85,000.
One point to consider is making sure your VAT quarters are in sync with your year end as other taxes will follow, possibly as early as April 2020, when a quarterly profit and loss account will have to be submitted!

The following very early events were added by Allpar.
1769: Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot invents the car, powered by steam; a ratchet converts the piston's up-and-down strokes into rotary motion. His car, like Daimler's much later model, is three-wheeled, and was steered via tiller (and ran on roads, not rails). One of his later cars, from 1771, remains at a Parisian museum.
1784: William Murdoch builds and patents a steam car, first in Britain.
1789: Oliver Evans gets the first patent for an automobile in the United States.
1801: Richard Trevithick makes the first car designed to carry passengers, using connecting rods to convert the boiler's piston motion to rotary wheel movement. He reportedly hit 9 mph on flat roads. Trevithick patents a revised version of this car in 1802; the new one had many innovations, and again ran up to 9 mph with multiple passengers. However, after a road accident (and a fire destroying the first car), Trevithick leaves the car business.
1824: Walter Hancock begins making steam road vehicles; in 1827 he patented a safety boiler that split rather than exploding on failure. He started the first powered bus service in 1831, and the first scheduled bus service in 1833. He cracked the 20 mph barrier in 1836. His later bus had leaf springs and a chain drive.
1861: Britain puts the reigns on road cars with speed limits of 5 mph in urban areas, 10 mph in rural areas; in 1865 they would cut speeds further and demand that vehicles be preceded by men with red flags. In the same year, France endorses the use of road cars.
1861: Alphonse Beau de Rochas sets out the principle of the four stroke engine.
1873: Amédée Bollée launches a series of steam cars to serve as cabs/buses; this is defined by some as the "first real automobile."
1876: Nikolaus Otto invents the "Otto Cycle" engine, building on de Rochas' work, with four strokes: intake, compression, (spark) power, and exhaust.
1879: The infamous Selden Patent is filed; for many years he filed amendments to the original patent on the automobile engine and use of such an engine in a four wheeled car, and it was finally granted in 1895. Armed with this patent, the successor to Maxwell-Briscoe would gain royalties from competitors.
1886: Karl Benz gets his own patent on the car, in Germany. Gottlieb Daimler puts his high-speed internal combustion engine into a stagecoach, hence allowing Mercedes-Benz to claim for over a century later that they had invented the car. He did create the first four-wheeled car to reach 10 mph.
1892: Gottlieb Daimler sells his first car.
1893: Rudolph Diesel invents the engine that bears his name, similar to the Otto engine but replacing spark with compression.
1892: Walter P. Chrysler begins his apprenticeship as a mechanic in a railroad roundhouse in Kansas, making his own tools.
1894: Henry G. Morris and Pedro G. Salom construct and test a battery-operated car in Philadelphia, PA; the following year, they build four "Electrobats."
1895: Pope Manufacturing Co., Hartford, CT, makers of the Columbia bicycle, build an electric car designed by Percy Maxim.
1896: Morris and Salom form the Electric Carriage & Wagon Co., concentrating on electric cabs. Meanwhile, A.L. Riker forms the Riker Electric Motor Co. in Brooklyn, NY.
1897: Isaac L. Rice, president of Electric Storage Battery Co, and the Electric Boat Co., purchases the Electric Carriage & Wagon Co, which becomes part of the Electric Vehicle Co., Elizabethport, NJ.
1897: Pope Manufacturing begins to make the Columbia Electric, selling them in the United Kingdom as City & Suburban Cars and in France as L'Electromotion.

A Whole Lotta Yum
4 comments:
- Mary-Sue said...
Mmmmm Andrea, Karen and I did that last week with four different fillings and they are soooooo good. Melt-in-your-mouth good. It was my first time making them (I mostly watched, to be honest) but it looked so easy I will definitely be making my own from now on!
What did you use for filling?
- February 27, 2008 at 9:44 AM
- Heather said...
These ones have potato, onion, cottage cheese and a bit of cheddar as a filling. I usually like lots of garlic in there too.
- February 28, 2008 at 7:42 AM
Do you have a recipe for this? My family loves frozen store-bought perogies (??), so I am thinking that these must be to die for. From what I've seen I'm going to start coming to eat at your house for now on....
Rebecca ;)

Rebecca, the recipe I use for the dough is from Canadian Living's Country Cooking cookbook, I would think that the library would have it. The filling is just whatever we feel like putting in, really. If you can't find the book at the library, perhaps we will be able to tempt you to a knitting night, with the promise of the recipe??? :-)

LOS ANGELES, March 18, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMAX Corporation (NYSE:IMAX) (TSX:IMX), Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures announced today that Zack Snyder's epic action fantasy feature film Sucker Punch will be released in the immersive IMAX® format on Friday, March 25th. The film will open on 229 IMAX screens domestically, simultaneous with its North American wide release. The film will also open on at least 78 IMAX screens internationally, with 22 screens releasing day-and-date. Additional international playdates are expected to be confirmed in the coming days.
Sucker Punch has been digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology for presentation in IMAX. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique immersive environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
About Sucker Punch:
Close your eyes. Open your mind. You will be unprepared. Sucker Punch takes us into the vivid imagination of a young girl whose dream world provides the ultimate escape from her darker reality. Unrestrained by the boundaries of time and place, she is free to go where her mind takes her, and her incredible adventures blur the lines between what's real and what is imaginary. She has been locked away against her will, but Babydoll (Emily Browning) has not lost her will to survive. Determined to fight for her freedom, she urges four other young girls— the reluctant Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), the outspoken Rocket (Jena Malone), the street-smart Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and the fiercely loyal Amber (Jamie Chung)—to band together and try to escape their terrible fate at the hands of their captors, Blue (Oscar Isaac) and Madam Gorski (Carla Gugino), before the High Roller (Jon Hamm) comes for Babydoll. Led by Babydoll, the girls engage in fantastical warfare against everything from samurais to serpents, with a virtual arsenal at their disposal. Together, they must decide what they are willing to sacrifice in order to stay alive. But with the help of a Wise Man (Scott Glenn), their unbelievable journey—if they succeed—will set them free.
Sucker Punch is directed and produced by Zack Snyder and produced by Deborah Snyder, with Thomas Tull, Wesley Coller, Jon Jashni, Chris deFaria, Jim Rowe and William Fay serving as executive producers. The screenplay was written by Zack Snyder & Steve Shibuya from a story by Zack Snyder.
This film has been rated PG-13 for thematic material involving sexuality, violence and combat sequences, and for language.

Tila Tequila was not invited to the funeral of her reported fiancee Casey Johnson -- and she isn't happy about it.
See photos of Tila from over the years
A source close to Tequila tells UsMagazine.com, "She wants so badly to go to the funeral, but nobody will give her the details or tell her anything. She is extremely frustrated, as what she shared with Casey was real and special. Nobody understood."
Over the weekend Tila, 28, told E! News, "I don't want to talk about the funeral. I wasn't allowed to go, and I am so upset. I can't sleep, and I am on suicide watch."
It seems the reality TV star has been seeking media attention via Twitter and photographers since the death of Johnson on Jan. 4.

CPSC Adopts Strong New Crib Safety Standards
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) adopted a new mandatory safety standard for cribs last week that consumer advocates called the strongest in the world. The action follows recalls of millions of cribs in recent years due to entrapment deaths and injuries. The new standards, which become mandatory in six months, will ensure that new cribs have been tested for safety to rigorous standards. "Parents and caregivers should have peace of mind that when they leave their baby in a crib that their baby will be safe," stated CFA Senior Counsel Rachel Weintraub in a joint press release with Consumers Union, Kids In Danger, and U.S. Public Interest Research Group. The new standards go a long way toward providing that assurance, she added.
Congress Leaves Crucial Financial Reforms Unfunded
The Senate approved a temporary spending bill Sunday that leaves the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) without the crucial funding increases they need to implement the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Earlier this month, the House narrowly approved a full-year continuing resolution that would have provided a much needed funding boost to both agencies, but Senate Republicans blocked consideration either of an omnibus spending bill or a full-year continuing resolution.
While the House still has to act on the Senate spending bill, it is expected to follow the Senate's lead in voting for the temporary continuing resolution that would fund the government at current spending levels through early March. As a result, decisions about funding for these agencies will be deferred until next year, at a time when political divisions between the House and Senate are likely to make it even more difficult for the Congress to adopt a budget.
"It is not enough for Congress to increase the authority and responsibilities of these agencies without giving them the funding they need to fulfill those responsibilities," CFA Director of Investor Protection Barbara Roper wrote in a letter to all members of Congress. "Unfortunately, that is precisely what Congress has done," Roper added in the wake of the Senate vote.
Consumers Warned of Low Auto Insurance Claims Payments
In a consumer alert issued earlier this month, CFA warned consumers who have been injured in an automobile accident that the computerized systems used by many insurance companies to process their claims often make unfair, "low ball" claims' offers. "Consumers should be very vigilant when dealing with automobile bodily injury claims generated by computer programs," said CFA Director of Insurance J. Robert Hunter. "By adjusting their computer systems to generate claims 'savings' without adequately examining the validity of each claim, these automated claims systems can result in unfairly low payments to consumers." The alert identifies some of the major insurers using such systems and includes tips on how consumers can protect themselves from unjustifiably low claims offers.
FDIC Urged to Adopt Safe Template for Prepaid Cards
In a joint letter to the FDIC last month, CFA, Consumers Union, Consumer Action, the Shriver Center, and the National Consumers Law Center called on the agency to adopt a Safe Transaction Account template for prepaid cards. The groups praised the agency for its decision earlier this year to adopt Safe Transaction and Savings Account templates for the benefit of low- and moderate-income consumers and for having included prepaid cards as a type of product that could be offered through the Safe Transaction program. Because prepaid cards present unique issues, however, the groups called for these cards to be addressed through a specific template. "Consumers need first-class protections as prepaid cards become 'bank accounts' on plastic for the unbanked and under-banked," said CFA Financial Services Director Jean Ann Fox. "Funds deposited onto a card must be protected by pass-through FDIC insurance and Electronic Fund Transfer Act rules on unauthorized use and disputes. Most importantly, prepaid cards must not become debt traps with overdrafts and payday-loan type credit features."

Glam Doll Donuts
Teresa Fox and Arwyn Birch sell only doughnuts and Intelligentsia coffee and espresso at their new Glam Doll Donuts shop in the heart of Eat Street. But they obviously put the rest of their planning energy into the interior design, with its hand-painted tiles, original artwork, vintage photo booth, and comfy seating. The doughnuts lean toward unconventional combinations like a peanut-buttery cake doughnut with sweet-spicy sriracha glaze or a raised turnover filled with muenster and provolone cheeses topped with curry icing. But you'll find straight-up classics too: apple fritters, plain icing with sprinkles, and doughnuts filled with raspberry curd. But what really sets Glam Doll apart is its hours: It's open till 1 a.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Today I wanted to share with you how I have been storing my Paper Pumpkin Stamp sets. Those mini sets are great! But, what to do with them when you finish your kit? There are so many great sentiments and images but it is easy to loose track of what you have and if you aren't keeping track of them, if they are not organized, then you probably aren't using them!
I decided I wanted something that could sit on my stamp shelf and had easy access for me to be able to thumb through and quickly glance at the stamps to see which I want to use. I have prepared a video tutorial to show you how to make my stamp file box. It only uses a few products and holds one years worth of Paper Pumpkin Stamp Sets.
If you are new to my website, or Stampin' Up! and don't know what I am talking about when I refer to Paper Pumpkin?? then you should definitely go read learn more about this fabulous monthly subscription kit HERE!
Another use for this box would be to organize and store your handmade cards! Keep those beautiful creations safely stored until they are ready to be signed and sent away! All of the products used in this project can be purchased from my online shop.
Additional Tip: Of all the months I have been a member of the Paper Pumpkin Club there has only been one stamp set (Manly Moments, May 2018) which was too long to fit inside the clear envelope. My solution was to cut the stamp set in half, acetate sheets and all, and put one half on one side of the whisper white cardstock and the other half on the back side. It works just fine! I forgot to point this out in my video. Sorry!
Thanks for watching today. Let me know if you make your own and share with me how you chose to decorate yours. I kept my simple but I know some of you will really make yours spectacular and I would love to see them! Share your photos with me on facebook.
Have a blessed day and happy stampin'!

I like working with the Scouts. I think it is one of the best organizations for a boy or young man to be a member of. That is why I was a scoutmaster for thirty years, and than stayed on as a committee member. That is why I am now serving as a cubmaster.
I can usually juggle the troop duties and the pack duties without much of a problem. The pack meetings and activities are only three or four days a month. The troop only needs a few days a month of my time. It is pretty easy scheduling.
March was more challanging. The Cub Scout schedule was easy. The den meetings were held on the first Monday of the month. The pack meeting was on the third Monday. The pack committee meeting was on the 23rd. There was only three evenings of Cub Scout meetings.
My Boy Scout schedule, on the other hand, grew almost out of control. The troop decided to work on the Scouting Heritage merit badge in March. Guess who happens to be the merit badge councilor? I told the troop I would be able to attend the meeting the the second Monday, and could maybe get away from the den meetings on the first Monday, but the third troop meeting of the month I could not attend. I think this is a great merit badge for Boy Scouts to earn so I really wanted to help out as much as I was able.
The troop also had a court of honor on the fourth Monday of March. As the troop's advancement coordinator I planned to attend. The troop's spring fundraiser was a breakfast held on Palm Sunday. Since a fire at the local church affected our plans we held a special parents meeting to find a new location. I love to play play disc golf, so I agreed to be a chaperone for the month's disc golf outing held on Saturday, the 19th. I offered to conduct a junior leader training course for the newly elected junior troop leaders later that same day. And then, of course, there was the regular troop committee meeting. Oh, and don't forget the district roundtable. As you can see, my Boy Scout schedule became very busy in March.
It has been quite awhile since I have had ten days of Scouting meetings and activities in a single month. When I was the scoutmaster it happened quite often. In fact, it almost seemed normal. But this is not normal for my schedule anymore.
Oh well, it may have been a busy month, but it was worth it. And it was fun. And hopefully, several of the Boy Scouts will earn their Scouting Heritage merit badge.
