Qualification for the quarterfinals of the OFC Champions League is within reach of Auckland City FC and Lautoka FC on match day two of Group C on Wednesday at Auckland's Trusts Stadium but a desperate Madang FC and AS Venus stand in their way.
After wins on the first day of Group C action on Sunday against AS Venus and Madang respectively, a second victory for both Auckland and Lautoka in the reverse fixtures would see both teams through to the last eight of the competition with a game to spare. However, that final match between the New Zealand and Fijian clubs on Saturday would then determine home advantage in the next stage.
Should either, or both, teams fail to win on Wednesday then at least one qualification spot will be up for grabs going into the final day of pool play.
On paper at least the early kick off between Venus and Lautoka looks toughest to call and the most pivotal to the eventual group make-up.
Venus were soundly beaten 7-0 by defending champions Auckland City but coach Sam Garcia said he was always treating that first match as a benchmark while targeting the game against Lautoka.
"Auckland are on a different level to the rest of the Pacific and so there's no sadness about that result. But Lautoka will be more of an even match for us – I believe we are on a similar level," Garcia said.
"We're ready for the challenge. Before arriving in New Zealand we planned how it would go. I was very happy to play Auckland City first because they have won the last seven OFC Champions Leagues and I know it would be a good experience for us."
Garcia added that in their planning process their hopes of advancing from the group always hinged on this match against the Fijian champions.
"For our team the most important moment was going to be Venus-Lautoka. After that we will know if we go on our way home or we work towards getting another win on Saturday."
Lautoka currently sit second in Group C on goal difference following their 3-1 win over a short-handed Madang side but despite the difference in outcomes in Lautoka's and Venus' opening matches, coach Kamal Swamy was full of respect for the Tahitian representatives.
"We shouldn't take anything from Venus' performance – they were playing against Auckland City but they may have a different strategy against us. It will again be a tough match for us," said Swamy.
"Venus have nothing to lose now and they would like to qualify for the quarterfinals, so they will give everything in this game. It will be tough."
Swamy suspects his Venus counterpart was keeping some cards up his sleeve during the first match and says some tactical flexibility may be needed, especially once he sees how the Tahitians line up against his side.
"We need to change our game plan in this match looking at Venus and how they play. What they played against Auckland, they won't play against us so we need to settle down and change our tactics and get into our work."
Auckland City FC's Ramon Tribulietx was in a far more comfortable position after the one-sided victory against Venus. While he knows a win against Papua New Guinea's Madang FC could seal progress to the knockout stages – step one on the way to claiming an eighth straight OFC Champions League title – he maintains the team's focus is on the individual match and not the longer-term goals.
"We take it game by game," Tribulietx said.
"We're happy with that first performance but this will be a little different. The Tahitians were more physical and maybe more organised out of possession – I think the PNG guys will be a little different and try to hurt us with different weapons. We just focus on this game and take it step-by-step."
Auckland's opponents Madang have had more to worry about in the build-up to the tournament but the arrival of more players to the skeletal squad of 12 available for the defat to Lautoka gives coach Maurie Wasi a few more options.
Wasi was pleased with not only the application of his side against Lautoka also with their effectiveness in creating chances, although the inability to capitalise on more than one ultimately proved their undoing.
They now face an even sterner test against a team that has not conceded a OFC Champions League goal in over 11 hours. Wasi says his team have no shortage of motivation with their quarterfinal hopes on the line against the defending Oceania champions.
"Most of these players have not played a team of the calibre of Auckland City so they are looking forward to it and they know it's going to be a very tough challenge," Wasi said
"We will go out there and play for the people of Madang province, for the boys themselves and their families – because they've sacrificed a lot for the boys to come out – we're just going to go out there and play for the ones that really care about our football."
AS Venus and Lautoka FC kick off the second day of Group C play at 1pm while Auckland City's match against Madang gets underway at 4pm.

Kick-off: 13h00 (local)

Assistant Referee 1: Stephen SENIGA (SOL)

AS Venus
Vital Statistics: AS Venus have only faced Fijian opposition once in their two previous campaigns at this level. In the 1999 OFC Club Championship in Nadi, they drew 1-1 with Nadi FC who then went on to finish runners-up to South Melbourne.
The Players: Teonui Tehau has been in prolific form over the past two seasons in Tahiti's Ligue 1. He netted 45 goals last season and is currently on 31 from 17 games this year. While he didn't see much of the ball in Venus' loss to an Auckland side that starved them of possession, Lautoka will need to be mindful of giving him an opening in front of goal.
Coach Quote: "As part of our planning I also believed that Auckland would win the next match and that Madang would have two losses which would mean we could face a Madang team with nothing to play for on Saturday."
Team List: 1-Tamatiti PATIA (GK), 2-Tauarii TAPUTUARAI, 3-Kevin BARBE, 4-Jean-Claude PARAUE, 5-Marcel TIHONI, 6-Hitinui VERNAUDON, 7-Marama AMAU, 8-Faretua MARAETEFAU, 9-Tefai FAEHAU, 10-Teonui TEHAU (C), 11-Raiamanu TETAUIRA, 12-Mauarii TEHINA, 13-Yann PENNEQUIN-LE-BRAS, 18-Ramanui AMAU, 22-Tamatai TEVAEARAI (GK), 23-Mauri HEITAA, 24-Hauragi HURI, 30-Roonui TEHAU.
Coach: Sam GARCIA (TAH)
Lautoka FC
Vital Statistics: All but two players in Lautoka's starting line-up on Sunday had played for his respective national team. The Fijian champions fielded 7 Fijian seniors internationals plus one each from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. The other two still boasts international experience with Cory Chettleburgh, having represented New Zealand at both U-17 and U-20 levels while Praneel Naidu was a member of the Fiji U-23 squad that competed at the Rio Olympics.
The Players: Osea Vakatalesau has scored OFC Champions League goals for four different clubs (Lautoka, Hekari, Ba, Amicale) dating back to 2008. His most notable goal-scoring feat remains sharing the global record for most goals in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign with 12. Now in his 30s, the towering forward still showed he has the speed and touch to complement his physical presence and linked well with Benji Totori in attack.
Coach Quote: "We watched the Venus game and the boys are very psotove about it. Let's hope we can play very well against them.
Team List: 1-Senirusi BOKINI (GK), 2-Edward JUSTIN, 4-Shazil ALI, 5-Poasa BAINIVALU, 6-Jone VESIKULA, 7-Dave RADRIGAI, 8-Kavaia RAWAQA, 9-Liesari QALICA, 10-Cory CHETTLEBURGH, 11-Praneel NAIDU, 12-Laitia TUILAU, 14-Samuela DRUDRU, 16-Osea VAKATALESAU, 17-Kolinio SIVOKI, 18-Arami VOLAVOLA, 19-Benjamin TOTORI, 20-Brian KALTAK, 22-Benaminio MATEINAQARA (GK / C).

Auckland City FC [NZL] vs. Madang FC [PNG]
Trusts Stadium
Auckland, New Zealand
Wednesday 28 February
Kick-off: 16h00 (local)

Assistant Referee 1: Bernard MUTUKERA (SOL)
Assistant Referee 2: Hilmon SESE (VAN)
Fourth Official: Mederick LACOUR (NCL)
Auckland City FC
Vital Statistics: Auckland City FC have never lost to Papua New Guinea opposition in the OFC Champions League. In two matches each against Sobou FC, Hekari United and Lae City Dwellers they only dropped points in a 1-1 away draw against Hekari in the 2010-11 edition.
The Players: With tighter restrictions on foreign players, Te Atawhai Hudson-Wihongi has shifted into Auckland defence for this tournament, a position the New Zealand international is not unaccustomed to playing. He saw a lot of ball in the opening win over AS Venus and it allowed him to show off his full passing range and ability to drive into midfield when required.
Coach Quote: "If you don't control the game with the ball they can become very difficult to play. We need to make sure we compete as well as we did in the first game."
Team List: 1-Eñaut ZUBIKARAI (GK), 2-Liam GRAHAM, 5-Angel BERLANGA (C), 6-Te-Atawhai HUDSON-WIHONGI, 7-Cameron HOWIESON, 9-Darren WHITE, 12-Kris BRIGHT, 13-Alfred ROGERS, 14-Cole PEVERLEY, 15-Daniel MORGAN, 17-Reid DRAKE (GK), 19-Micah LEA'ALAFA, 20-Emiliano TADE, 21-Harrison EDGE, 24-Connor TRACEY (GK), 25-Owen PARKER-PRICE, 26-Callum MCCOWATT, 27-Dalton WILKINS.
Coach: Ramon TRIBULIETX (ESP)
Madang FC
Vital Statistics: Three additional players have arrived in camp since Madang played their opening Group C fixture with just 12 players in total.
The Players: Vanya Malagian may have played goalkeeper at lower levels but it was a big ask for the midfielder to step in for his team and play an OFC Champions League match against the Fijian champions with his side's regular custodians awaiting visas to travel. Malagian performed admirably, making some important saves but he will be relieved to see the reinforcements arrive during the week so he can take his more accustomed role higher up the pitch.
Coach Quote: "In terms of Auckland City, it's always going to be hard playing against them. They're a well-established club with good coaches and a good set up so it's going to be a very tough challenge but it's one we look forward to."
Team List: 1-Mikes GEWA (GK), 3-Able Linday REDENUT, 4-Darren POLLY, 5-Langarap SAMOL, 6-Samuel KINI (C), 9-Maskulan PULUNG, 7-Maximillion SEGUM, 8-Michael FOSTER, 10-Emmanuel AIREM, 11-Vanya MALAGIAN, 12-Nigel MALAGIAN, 13-Jonnel KAMBUAL, 14-Neil HANS, 15-Hanson TOPIO, 16-Papalau AWELE, 18-Stahl GUBAG, 21-Charles LEPANI (GK), 23-Solomon MAPAI.

A New Park for People Who Live in Montecito and Santa Barbara
People who live in Montecito and Santa Barbara are fortunate to have so much public open space for walking, jogging, and picnicking. A new 14.7 acre parcel was acquired in February of this year by the Parks and Recreation Department and Creeks Division in collaboration with the Trust for Public Land, with the help of several generous grants. The site is located in the Las Positas Valley, along Arroyo Burro, and is the former site of the Veronica Meadows development. The plans for the new, as yet to be named, park include stabilizing and restoring the creek, improving water quality, and protecting wildlife habitat.
Montecito Property Owners Celebrate Arroyo Burro Land Acquisition in Santa Barbara
The City of Santa Barbara and The Land Trust invite Santa Barbara and Montecito property owners and other community members are invited to celebrate the new park on Wednesday, March 16th at 11 a.m. Come out to 599 Alan Road in Santa Barbara and learn more about the plans for improving and restoring this beautiful land.

Case Study Founder: "Jubilee" and "Sugar"
My sister called me when I was at a hoof trimming clinic with Nancy Filbert in SC back in 2003 about two horses that the owner was ready to have euthanized. A 20 yr. old backyard Ten. Walker mare, Jubilee and her 15 yr old "baby", Sugar. I told my sister I would come take a look. I regret that I didn't take "before" photos now as they were higher in the heels than they were in the toes. They both had lots of abscesses working out at the coronet. After I took them home, it took me two trims to get down to feet that were close to what you see here. I had x-rays done shortly after I began trimming them. These horses were in a small dry lot where the owner would feed grain laced with Bute. He had been doing that for years! The "baby" had been foundered since she was less than a year old.
The x-ray shows how poorly attached the coffin bone was though you can't tell that from looking at the outside of the hoof. This is why I emphasis getting x-rays!!! This horse's coffin bone was sitting right on the floor of the hoof capsule in her worst stage. When the coffin bone sinks down, the sole appears flat or even convex and bulging. What happens in this kind of situation is the whole capsule has a meltdown. The lamina stretch out or even separate from the swollen corium which is seeping fluid that has nowhere to go. Since the hoof horn is like plastic, when the hooves get inflammed from toxic stuff in the body, whether it is from chemicals like drugs or vaccinations, or whether it is from too much grass or grain that turns to acid in the gut, or whether it comes from retained placenta, poisoning is what has happened! It is the trigger that sets laminitis off. And when the coffin bone is tipped up by high heels, founder follows. It is the erroneous belief still held onto by many equine professionals that the deep flexor tendon exerts a pull on the coffin bone causing it to rotate when in reality, it is the pain from high bars that cause the horse to consciously flex his muscles to pick his heels up from the pain. When the bars are trimmed and the heels are lowered the hoof has to recover from the damage done by pressure on the toe wall lamina. With these horses, the mechanics of having the coffin bone tipped up by extremely high heels led to damage and something triggers the inflammation. Top it all off with drugs and sweet feed and we have a horse full of toxins! This mare looked "fat" but what was really going on is she was puffy from fluid throughout her body. When I started trimming her properly, she just melted! I supported her with good nutrition which included free access to grass and hay and some whole grains. The more I trimmed these horse's feet, the better they did.

How to Install Exterior Plywood Siding
Plywood can be an economical and attractive house siding. Because it's wood, it can be finished with stain for a natural look or be painted any color. Because it comes in 4-foot wide panels, it installs quickly and more easily than wood planks or shingles. You can also buy it in various lengths for panels that can fit walls from 8 to 12 feet high. You can also choose from many surface finishes, from smooth to texture resembling rough-hewn cedar. Like any wood, it must be protected from moisture and be painted or resealed regularly.
Nail metal flashing around all windows, doors and other openings in the wall with flashing nails and a hammer. Install any rigid foam board or similar exterior insulation over the basic house sheathing and wrap the house with a moisture barrier, typically a polystyrene sheet. Seal the backs of the panels and all edges with primer paint or wood sealer.
Use a tape measure and level to snap a level chalk line around the house to mark the bottom of the siding. Nail 2-by-2-inch ledger boards to the sill plates on the wall level with this line to support the panels; use 1/2- or 5/8-inch plywood to make a flush side, with the plywood, foam board and sheathing. Make the ledgers conform to the height of the panels, typically 9 feet on most exterior walls.
Set the first full panel at the house's back corner that is most visible from the street. Align it with the wall corner and the ledger board; double-check with a level to ensure that it's plumb and that the inside edge of the panel is in the center of a wall stud. Leave a gap of about 1/4 inch at the corner.
Fasten the panel with galvanized finishing nails and a hammer. Drive nails about 6 inches apart on the panel edges, about 12 inches vertically in every stud. Work from the corner in to keep the panel side straight -- don't nail both edges and then try to nail the center. Set the heads of the nails with a nail set and fill the holes if you plan to paint; use colored nails to match the shade of the wall if you're going to stain it.
Install panels onto the front of that wall, butting seams together or using the tongue-and-groove overlapping that can be found at many exterior plywood suppliers. Check each panel with a level to make sure it is plumb. Cut around windows, doors and other protrusions with a circular saw or jig saw. Measure the cuts carefully, but leave gaps of about 1/4 inch at all edges to be covered by trim.
Cut panels lengthwise at corners and work your way around the house to end at the back corner least visible from the street. Install panels from the starting corner along the back of the house before you reach the last corner with side panels.
Caulk all panel edges around doors, windows and other openings, at the corners and at the roof intersection. Install wood trim, typically 1-by-4-inch boards, around all walls and windows, at the top where the wall panels meet the roof soffit and along the bottom to cover the ledger. Fasten cover plates over electrical outlets, around dryer vents and other openings.

Course 8 will cover Machining and Stamping. First, we'll cover the overview of the typical parts you might find. Then we'll talk about the pros and cons for machining. After, we'll look at how the process works along with some of the design guidelines. Lately, we'll cover some of the common materials that you might use.
Onto Machining, or as we refer to it: CNC (Computer Numeric Control); in that the computer is actually driving the cutting tool. The other process is just a manual process of a numerical bridgeport, which is great for prototyping, but does not really apply for high volume. Some examples of machined parts are precision gears, if you need the extra strength of a metal gear, different fittings connecting two parts, or drive components to transfer power.

In reply to whats the best time to take prozac******, posted by woolav on November 12, 2005, at 7:44:19
I think different people take prozac at different times. Experimentation to find what works best for you is probably the way to go.
I used to take it in the morning, because I liked the warm stimulation I got from it that began about 2 hours after dosing and lasted about 4 hours.
Even though it has a very very long half life and doctors say it doesn't matter when you take it, I actually liked it best when I took 10mg with breakfast and then another 10mg at lunch. To me, it definitely felt better than taking it all at once, even though it doesn't make any sense. Perhaps maybe it's the fluoxetine itself that I like, but its metabolite norfluoxetine is a bit different. Don't know.

Beauty Confessional is a fashion based blog out of the UK but that doesn't mean that their tough motion photos shouldn't be appreciated world wide! I love what photographer Piers Vernon Kell has done with these images and the editing reminds me of something you'd see in a Hitchcock or Woody Allen opener. If you are looking to add a twist to your own photography or simply advertise your own creativity in a new fashion take notes from this video!

Wow the editing is fantastic and the final images too ...
whats is the BTS song??
Hi Julian, the song is "Caravan by Gordon Jenkins"
I wonder what software was used to produce this video?
Julian: I believe the song is Caravan by Gordon Jenkins. An awesome piece of music.
Well, poop. I didn't watch the whole thing before writing my reply. Silly me.
Nicely done. So much better than your standard slideshow of images. I love the processed look of the photos too. Looks like HDR (?), but a little less harsh.
i really like the concept. noir sort of twist with fasion. pretty good methinks!
How do they get the 3D look. I see that all the time now!

"The drugs I was taking were killing me. I was close to death."
That's the beginning of a beautiful redemption story we hear from a listener in South Africa. He continues,
"I grew up in a Christian family but I failed to choose the right friends. After completing grade twelve, I decided to do things my own way. My parents did everything to bring me back, but it was difficult for me to stop. I ended up living on the streets, until I found a shelter that accepted kids. One day while I was there waiting for food, the security officer was listening to your teachings from his mobile phone. I asked him to turn up the volume so I could listen too. In my language of Zulu, I heard your message about the God of the second chance. I looked at myself and I thought there was no way I could receive a second chance.
"That's when I began to get sick. I was thin and coughing a lot. Someone at the shelter finally convinced me to go to the hospital where I was diagnosed with tuberculosis. While I was treated, I heard your broadcasts again! I cried and thought to myself that maybe it was time for me to change. That's when I asked a nurse to contact my family. I found them and repented. Shortly after, I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
"I am writing to tell you that you saved my life through those teachings. It sounds dramatic, but it's true. I now listen regularly and am growing in my faith.
"May the Lord bless you and please keep the fire burning. Because you brought my life back together, I am sure you will do the same for other young people out there."
Praise God for the second chance He gives us all!

Northern Delights: Games Festival Feral Vector Next Month
Feral Vector – formerly known as Bit Of Alright – is a UK games festival which hosts talks, games, experiments and elbow-rubbing from/with assorted cheerful and interesting developer types. It's curated by David Hayward, who organised the Leftfield Collection at EGX and Rezzed. Pip thought the last one was lovely. A slight change of plan for 2015 though: mindful that everything ever seems to happen in London, this year's Feral Vector has upped sticks to Yorkshire in the hope that game-makers and game-players who traditionally get left out of this sort of thing can attend.
Feral Vector is being held at Hebden Bridge on May 29 and 30th this yaer, and tickets of assorted pricing depending your means and generosity are available now. It's hosted in a restored former Baptist church, no less. Any restored former Baptists in the audience tonight? No? Well, it's worth going along anyway, I think.
Cos of stuff like this: "near the hills, bluebells and lambs with a whole host of games to play, workshops to take part in, installations to play with, performances to watch and talks to listen to – including sessions covering game design from it's fundamental skills to the outer fringes where it relates to cities, politics and poetry amongst other things." There'll also be a botany walk co-hosted by Ed Key, of Proteus fame. This alone makes me dearly want to go.
Other devs include the folks behind Titan Souls, Big Robot's Tom Betts (disclaimer – oh, you know), Heartwood's Kerry Turner and a whole bunch more. There'll be plenty of games, of the traditional, the experimental and local multiplayerer kind alike, and assorted mini-events. More details here.
It sounds calm, friendly and cuddly. I.e. this probably isn't for you if you're all about your codblops, but if you're at all interested in games as something wider, smarter, sillier, more playful and/or more meaningful, get thee to a restored former Baptist church.

- A 15-20 minute nap - and no longer than 30 minutes- will provide enough of an energy boost. A long nap may cause grogginess and you may have a hard time waking up. If you can't sleep, don't worry, resting can be as revitalizing as napping.
Do you need to lose weight? Find out what the Right Weight for you is. Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI).
"X"= your weight in lbs
"Y"= height in inches
"X" x 705= "Z" - Multiply your weight by 705
"Z" / "Y"= "A" - Divide the previous result by your height
"A" / "Y"= BMI - Divide the previous result by your height again
A BMI of 18.5 to 24.5 may indicate the optimal weight. The wide range is due to the variety of body composition in bone and muscle among healthy people. Women in general have less muscle and bone than man do, so the optimal BMI for women will usually fall toward the bottom of the range.
Underweight: less than 18.5
Ideal: from 18.5 to 24.5
Overweight: from 24.5 to 30
Obese: from 30 or higher
Are We Aware of the Pesticides in our Foods?
Highest concentration of pesticides are found in peanuts and raisins. Choose organically grown peanut butter.
Fruits: The thicker the peel, the less concentration of pesticides. However, fruits such as cantaloupes have a very porous skin, which can absorb pesticides.
Good choices: Bananas, oranges, tangerines, lemons, grapefruits, pineapples, watermelon and figs.
If you eat a lot of the following fruits, organically grown varieties may be a better choice:
Apples, pears, grapes, strawberries, peaches, kiwi, prunes, cherries, blackberries and blueberries.
Vegetables: When using not organically grown vegetables, wash them well with water and soap.
Vegetables with the highest levels of pesticides: lettuce, spinach and potatoes.
Remove the outer two or three layers of lettuce and spinach. When eating not organically grown potatoes, don't eat the skin.
Got Hiccups?
Drink a tablespoon of pickle juice or if you have a lemon, try sucking on a lemon wedge. Their strong flavor stimulates the taste receptors and shock your diaphragm's nerves out of the spams.
Can't sleep? Got a snoring partner?
Ask your partner not to sleep on his or her back. Have your partner sleep on his/her side or stomach. You could try putting a pillow under his/her back to make it more difficult for him or her to roll over during his/her sleep. A humidifier may be helpful as it could end the snoring caused by dry air.
Dealing with a Hangover
Drink plenty of water, as much as you can. Alcohol can easily dehydrate your body which is the cause for a throbbing headache.
You could also try orange juice. The fructose which is a natural sugar in the juice, may help burning off alcohol faster and restore the blood sugar level. Also, orange juice contains a good dose of potassium which is a mineral that is lost during urination. Low potassium levels can make you feel week and shaky.
Sneezing is good
It provides necessary protection against toxins or disease-causing microbes before they can do any damage.If you feel you are about to sneeze, is best not to suppress it.
It may cause an infection by forcing the germs and viral particles into the Eustachian tubes, which connect to the middle ear.
Cherries for Arthritis Pain
Drink plenty of cherry juice, at least one glass a day for four days in a row. Discontinue for the next four days and start drinking again for four more days. Keep repeating this cycle. If available, use organic cherries without added sugar. You could either use fresh, frozen or canned cherries.
Some people have had good results from eating regular amounts of cherries and drinking one glass of cherry juice a day.
Experiment to see how this remedy can work for you.
Lower Your Blood Pressure
- Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and whole grains.
- Replace salt with different seasonings.
- Reduce your fat intake
- Increase your calcium
- Eat less meat and dairy products
- Eat garlic
- Increase your intake of potassium. Bananas are an excellent source.
- Increase your intake of fiber and magnesium.
- Excercise regularly
- Quit smoking
- If you are overweight, try to lose some weight. A small weight loss can make a big difference.
Are We Drinking Enough Fluids a Day? - Our body needs it for its maximum efficiency
Our body depends on water for important vital tasks such as transporting nutrients and other substances around the body and regulating the temperature.
It is recommended that we drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids a day spread over the day to keep our body's water levels steady. Caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea and colas, as well as alcoholic beverages should be avoided because they increase urination, leading to water loss from our body, resulting in dehydration. When sweating a lot or taking medications, it may become necessary to take ten to twenty glasses a day.
Our best bet is to observe our urine color and frequency. Pale yellow is a good sign. Frequent urination is a good sign too, though sometimes it could be caused by medication or a medical condition.
Blisters - Choosing the Right Shoes
Heat, friction and moisture are the cause for blisters on your feet. A loose shoe creates friction when the foot moves around in it. When shopping for shoes, wear or bring with you the type of sock that you are actually going to wear with your new shoes. The ideal time to shop for your shoes is in the afternoon when your feet are most swollen, this will ensure that your shoes are not too tight for your afternoon feet.
When you are trying your new shoes, stand up and make sure that there is a thumb-width between your big toe and the end of your shoe.
If you excercise, make sure that you are wearing the right socks to prevent blisters. A mixture of synthetic material and wool is ideal. The synthetic material will keep your feet dry by drawing the moisture out, and the wool will protect your feet from the shoe. You could also wear two pairs of socks. A thin synthetic material to wick moisture away from the feet and the outer pair should be thick to absorb friction.
Shinier Hair with Vinegar
Mix one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to a pint of water and apply to hair. This makes and excellent hair rinse, especially if you have oily hair, that will remove shampoo buildup and will add shine to your hair. Rinse with plain water to remove the smell.
Why Do We Yawn?
Experts say that yawning is caused by a decrease in the amount of oxygen reaching the brain. When we yawn, we open our mouth and bring more oxygen into our bodies.
Yawn becomes contagious between the ages of 1 and 2. Seeing or even hearing a person yawn often triggers yawns. And as you may be yawning right now, you know that reading about yawning can also make you yawn.
Dry Hair and Split Ends
Some experts say that mayonnaise makes an excellent hair conditioner. Put a small amount of mayonnaise in the palm of your hand and work it into your hair for at least five minutes before rinsing. Repeat once a week.
You could also try the beer method to improve the looks of your hair. Pour some beer into a spraying bottle then spray it onto your hair after shampooing and towel drying it. Your hair will look healthy and shiny.
Prevent Cancer with Beta Carotene
If we eat more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in beta carotene we would have less lung, stomach, colon cervical and prostate cancer. It will also help increase our resistance to infection, vision problems, lower our cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Beta carotene is a type of pigment found in plants. Our skin stores beta carotene in our body metabolizes it into vitamin A as needed.
Beta carotene sources: carrots, spinach, kale, sweet potatoes, mustard greens, red peppers and cataloupe.
Toothache Relief With an Ice Cube
Massage the web between your thumb and index finger on the back of your hand with an ice cube, it seems to be effective on either hand regardless if the pain is on the left or right side. Apparently, this will short-circuit the pain, similar to the way it is done with acupuncture.
- Determine Your Heart Rate
To get the most out of your aerobic performance from walking, it will be helpful if you know what your target heart rate is and mantain it for at least 20 minutes.
1. Start with the number 220: 220
2. Substract your age (45, for example): -45
3. The result is your maximum heart rate: 175
Low end of the target range; 60 percent
4. Multiply your max heart rate by 0.6: 175 x 0.6= 105
High end of target rante; 80 percent
5. Multiply your max heart rate by 0.8: 175 x 0.8= 140
Always work at the lower end of your range if you are a beginner. The high end range is only recommended to be achieved for those physically fit.
Eating yogurt for good health
Yogurt, which is the most popular form of fermented milk, is a good source of calcium, and a good choice if you can't drink milk because you have trouble digesting lactose. Yogurt can help prevent osteoporosis that afflicts some middle-aged and elderly women.
Yogurt is also a good source of protein, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and folic acid.
Some studies found that yogurt has eliminated some forms of digestive tract infections. It is also effective to ease traveler's diarrhea. Eat yogurt as a natural way to boost your overall immunity levels and fight some digestive problems.
Bananas - A Wonderful Healthy Choice
Bananas are high in iron. They can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood, helping with cases of anemia.
Bananas are extremely high in potassium and low in salt, making it ideal to beat blood pressure.
Bananas are high in fiber. They can help restore normal bowel movement, working as a natural laxative.
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body. If you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana as a natural heartburn remedy.
Because of its soft texture bananas are used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders. It neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach, helping with those who are suffering from ulcers.
Bananas are high in B vitamins that can help to calm the nervous system.
Eating bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up, avoiding morning sickness.
Easy Yogurt Recipe - How I Make It
5 cups whole milk
1 Tbsp yogurt (as starter) - I use organic whole milk plain yogurt
In a stainless steel pan, bring milk to a boil.
Let the milk cool down until you can put your finger in and count to 10 without burning yourself! (around 110°F). If you have a thermometer, it will help you track the temperature and save your finger from burning so much! Don't let the milk cool down too much or it won't work, on the other hand, it cannot be too hot either.
In the meantime, have a glass container big enough to store the yogurt, and add the starter yogurt. Once the milk has reached the desired temperature, remove the thin layer that is formed at the top of the milk, and add a little bit of the hot milk at a time, and incorporate to the yogurt while mixing very well with a whisk. Add the rest of the milk and cover. Wrap the container with a warm dish towel and place it in a warm place for at least 8 hours. A good warm place is the oven. Turn the oven to 350°F for a few minutes, turn it off and turn the oven light on. Keep the light on for the whole 8 hours.
Yogurt is now ready. Keep it refrigerated. Save a little bit of your homemade yogurt as the starter for your next batch.
Tip: To ease the cleaning of the stainless steel pan, before putting the milk in it, fill it up with very cold water. Pour the water out and don't dry the pan before adding the milk.
Yogurt has been used as a natural remedy to treat a variety of conditions, from diarrhea to yeast infections for ages. Yogurt is a good source of protein, B vitamins, calcium and potassium.
If you are suffering from intestinal problems, yogurt may help you settle these problems by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria.
See the recipe I use for homemade yogurt by going to my Past Health Tips page.
Deodorant - Simple Rrecipe
Mix equal parts of talcum powder, baking soda and petroleum jelly. Heat this mix in a double boiler until it turns into a smooth cream.
Sleep better
Try to eat dinner a little earlier, finish by 6:30pm. This way your digestive system will not be busy by the time you go to bed. It may also help you prevent acid reflux which causes heartburn, a problem that can interrupt your sleep.
Drink More Tea - Health Benefits
It supports the immune system, reduces the risk of cancer and helps prevent tooth decay. Tea contains catechins, that help prevent cell damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Compared to oolong tea and black tea, green tea contains the highest percentage of catechins, approx. 40%. Oolong has about 8-20% and black tea 4%.
Your Best Time to Visit a Sick Friend
After 9:00 pm is the best time to visit a sick friend. Your number of white blood cells is at its highest level, providing you with your best protection against any germs you may come across.
How to Clean your Thermos
Here is an easy way to clean those tall and narrow containers and remove stains and odors. Fill your thermos with hot water, drop in a denture cleaning tablet and let it stand overnight.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails are usually caused when an improperly trimmed toenail cuts into the skin or by wearing shoes that are too tight.
Cut your toenails straight across and leave them a little longer at the corners to prevent sharp ends from cutting into the skin.
Make sure you don't wear shoes that are too tight.
Flaxseeds contain the fiber and the essential fatty acids you need on a daily basis. Ground 5 teaspoons of flaxseeds in a small food processor or coffee grinder with 8 ounces of water. Take one glass in the morning and again another glass in the evening.
Green Tea and Tooth Decay
Green tea is packed with polyphenols that fight off the bacteria that cause tooth decay. On top of that, the fluoride in tea supplies a beneficial boost to tooth enamel. The Japanese conducted a study by providing a special mouth rinse of tea polyphenols to volunteers after each meal and before bedtime, and found that they have significantly reduced the development of plaque, even though none of the volunteers was brushing or flossing

Although I have tried Linux before, it seems to be the month of the Open Source, so I gave it another try recently. WOW! What a difference a year makes. The installation I tried was a CD I burned myself (love those toys) of Linux-Mandrake. Mandrake is really nothing more than Red Hat 5.2 with the K Desktop Environment thrown into the install program.
So, here's my experience and impressions so far. I downloaded the full ISO image of the CD (45 hours, don't try this without some industrial strength download-resumption software). Then, after I burned it onto a blank CDR, I ran Partition Magic to clear up some extra partitions. I created a Linux Ext2 partition (500 megs) and a Linux Swap partition (80 megs). Prepared, with all my most important data files backed up to a CDRW disk (toys, toys, toys!), I plunged into the install routine with hope and more than a bit of dread. About 10 months ago, I tried something very similar with Debian (an older version to be fair) and ended up spending much time rebuilding my trashed partition tables and FATs. This time, though, was very different.
After the CD booted (love those bootable CD's), it started the Linux-Mandrake-Redhat install routine. I stepped through the easy-to-follow (for a geek) setup and had myself a working Linux box in no time, with a dual-boot configuration to Win98 (scourge of evil but a necessary evil), and even had KDE running in a crappy 256-color mode. My modem wasn't recognized, and my printer would not print. My sound card made one squawk and stopped. ARGH! After many trips to the HOWTO files from the CD, I got everything working, with the exception of my video. I can SEE everything, but I can't convince the X server that my video is capable of more than 8-bit color (currently using 16-bit in Win98, with on-the-fly to 24-bit). And, more maddening, the video gives me little drop-out lines. Totally undocumented by any other victim/user of Linux that I've been able to find with WebFerret, Slashdot, UGeek, or 32bitsOnline. But, I have an old crappy video card, and that Riva TNT looks awfully nice, especially at $89…

The federal government is promising that new rules it will introduce for air travel mean that no one will ever be kicked off a flight again due to overbooking.
But that doesn't mean that airlines will suddenly stop overbooking flights, airline industry experts say.
READ MORE: Passenger bill of rights to outline what airlines owe you for travel disruptions
"We know on every flight a certain percentage of people won't show up, and that's why they overbook to make sure that these planes fly with as high capacity as possible," said Todd Crawford, principal economist at the Conference Board of Canada.
Barry Prentice, a professor at the Asper School of Business at the University of Manitoba, agrees, saying overbooking makes good business sense. "You don't want empty seats on an airplane, because you'll pay for them anyway."
WATCH: Minister of Transport Marc Garneau introduces legislation to create a new passenger bill of rights.
Airlines make most of their money from business travel, he said, and business travellers value the flexibility that allows them to change their flight times as necessary to accommodate meetings and appointments that run long. So sometimes someone else has to go — which is still a good deal for airlines even if they compensate the person who's bumped, he said.
And if airlines can't remove people involuntarily, they have to keep sweetening the deal until someone decides to go, said Crawford.
"If the airlines plan for this and they want to avoid a marketing or advertising disaster, they will voluntarily just keep offering more and more to get consumers to voluntarily get off of a flight."
"At some price, there will always be somebody," Prentice said. "Everybody has a price."
Although this system will undoubtedly be more expensive for airlines than the status quo, Crawford doesn't think it will significantly affect an airline's bottom line. "In terms of the overall cash value to airlines, it's very minor in sort of the overall scope of things," he said. "The main risk to them is if they have one bad incident, it shows up all over YouTube, all over the media, and that's where the real risk to the industry is."
For a few hundred dollars extra, for example, United Airlines might have been able to avoid the embarrassing incident where a passenger was dragged off a flight and the footage went viral, he said. That incident affected their stock prices — a much bigger impact than just offering a passenger more to give up their seat.
And if that sounds like a great deal — airlines offering lots of compensation to inconvenienced travellers — don't be too excited, Prentice warns. "There's no free lunch. If the airlines have higher costs, we're all going to pay a little bit higher fare," he said, noting it could potentially be relatively small but there's no way of knowing yet.
All in all, Prentice doesn't think the new rules will automatically make air travel more pleasant for the average passenger.
"But at least they will have more peace of mind that if something screws up they have a bit more protection," he said. "You can't legislate service."

Here are twenty crossword clues that describe twenty video games. Solve them if you'd like!
OR, if you treat each clue as cryptic wordplay (without a def) instead, you'll find a different video game as the answer for each clue!

Head Start began in 1964, when President Lyndon Johnson declared a war on poverty and released funds that started services for three and four year-old children living below the poverty level. Clackamas County Children's Commission (CCCC) joined these efforts in 1966, providing Head Start services to the families of our community. We were incorporated as a non-profit in 1973 and since then have expanded our program to include Early Head Start and Oregon Healthy Families. Our CCCC mission is to support the growth of healthy children and families, positive parenting, and school readiness.
Through our Head Start and Early Head Start programs we support the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children from birth to age five who are at risk in our community. We offer a combination of classroom and home visiting experiences. Additionally, we provide children and their families with services and support for health living, good nutrition, social well-being, and more.
Our Healthy Families program promotes and supports positive parenting and healthy growth and development for all Clackamas County parents and their newborn children. Healthy Families offers one-on-one parenting support as well as home visits. Services are provided both prenatally and after the birth of the baby.
At Clackamas County Children's Commission, our approach is to honor parents as the first and most important teachers. We remain responsive to each child, and value every family's ethnic, cultural, and linguistic heritage. In building strong relationships with our children and families, we support positive parent-child relationships, family well-being, and connections to peers and our community.
Thank you for your interest in our program!

If you wish that I should add to this that His body is consubstantial with us, I will do this; but I do not understand the term consubstantial in such a way that I do not deny that he is the Son of God.
The other Eusebius, too, bishop of Cæsarea, approved the word consubstantial, after condemning it the day before.
Therefore it was that Athanasius, a deacon of Alexandria, persuaded the fathers to dwell on the word consubstantial, which had been rejected as improper by the Council of Antioch, held against
Pope Dionysius is shocked that his namesake did not use the word "consubstantial" -- this is more than sixty years before Nicaea.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 6: Fathers of the Church-Gregory XI
St. Hilary, in his defence of the word consubstantial, approved in the Council of Nice, though condemned fifty-five years before in the Council of Antioch, reasons thus: "Eighty bishops rejected the word consubstantial, but three hundred and eighteen have received it.
In these last points he is more explicit than St. Athanasius himself is elsewhere, while in the use of the word consubstantial, 'omooúsios, he anticipates Nicæa, for he bitterly complains of the calumny that he had rejected the expression.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 5: Diocese-Fathers of Mercy
Caroline @336: As someone who remembers the newly-translated-from-the-Latin liturgy with the exception of 'consubstantial' from 1967, I have to say that any recitation causing double or triple train-of-thought switches is going to be seriously disruptive.
There is still debate going on over the use of the word "consubstantial" or not.

Bring in more qualified franchise leads.
Franchising success is all about relationships. Franchise Business Review's franchise leads program matches the most serious franchisee candidates with brands ranking highest in franchisee satisfaction.
Candidates who submit leads through FBR's site are serious about franchisee satisfaction data or are looking for a credible, independent source to investigate franchise brands.
Our contact rate is approximately 70%, compared to the 30% you get with most franchise website portals.
This isn't a portal. You can't pay to be listed and we don't compete with larger franchise portals for generic search traffic. That means better leads and less time wasted for your development team.
How do we do it?
- No lead sharing
Candidates have to go to your individual page and fill out a form to speak directly with you.
- Less competition
Only the 200 top ranking companies are eligible to participate in our lead program.
- No long term commitment
You can stop taking leads at any time.
- High quality, not high volume
You'll actually connect with the person who submitted the lead form. They know why you're calling, they ask smart questions, and they have a real interest in buying a franchise.
How our franchise leads work:
- Participate in our confidential market research. We'll survey your franchisees to determine their levels of satisfaction. If your survey results qualify you for our list of top franchises (overall or in your industry category) you're eligible for our pay-per-lead program!
2. We'll post your company profile on our Ratings & Awards page.
3. You receive quality franchise leads. Our unique system qualifies leads for you by requiring candidates to submit all inquiries individually. That means they're more serious, resulting in a higher contact rate and a lower cost per sale for you.
Matt Haney, VP Franchise Development, Precision Concrete Cutting
"We've used every franchise portal known to man and by far the most qualified and serious leads come from the Franchise Business Review. We're able to have meaningful conversations with all of our FBR leads."

Ernest Wistrich, director of the European Movement, noted that in December 1970 only 18 per cent supported membership, whilst 70 per cent were opposed. (9 ) The government enlisted the assistance of the Information Research Department (IRD). This covert unit, established by the Labour Government in 1948, was financed from the Secret Intelligence Services budget, with close links to MI6. The government's campaign had three stages. The first involved the dissemination of information to the press and public; the second, from the announcement of the terms of entry until the end ...

IRD] and Special Branch' run through the International Department of the Party.(163) This focus on the CPGB front groups seems to be attributable to two things. If Bower's recent biography of MI5 head Dick White is accurate, one is the inadequacies of MI5 in the post-war years.(164) The second is ...

buy padron cigars online
Posted: June 12, 2019Categories: Padron Cigars
The Padron 1964 Anniversary line of cigars was introduced in 1994, to commemorate the companies 30th anniversary. Many will argue that the 1964 was the blend that put Padron on the map; catapulting them to where they are today. Today Padron is one of the most recognizable, and awarded brands in the industry. The tobacco for the 1964 Anniversary is aged at least four years and is rolled, then boxed pressed to honor the age-old Cuban tradition of box pressing cigars. Each size within the line is blended as a Nicaraguan puro, and is offered with either a sungrown, or maduro wrapper leaf.
Blend Info: Wrapper: Nicaraguan Maduro / Natural
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Smoking Experience:
After lighting the cigar; the initial thing most people notice when smoking a Padron is the cigars draw. Padrons tend to be on the looser side; putting out tons of thick textured smoke. The cigar provides ample flavors of semi-sweet baking chocolate, earth, leather,

Star Jones returned to The View Wednesday, almost six years after she left the show under unpleasant circumstances.
"It was ugly, everything around was ugly," Jones, 49, observed. "It was a bad, emotional time. Nasty things were being said in the media. It was just not a good emotional time." Jones, who was on the show to promote women's heart health, seemed surprised by Walters' line of questioning about her controversial exit. "I had eight fantastic years here. One was 'eh,'" she said. "I came back to congratulate you on all you accomplished. I hope you congratulate me on what I accomplished."
Check out photos from The View
In 2006, View creator and co-host Barbara Walters revealed to Jones that her contract would not be renewed for a 10th season, and said Jones could say that it was her decision. Jones then announced on the show that she would be leaving, but told People magazine that she felt like she was "fired." The following day, Walters informed viewers that Jones would no longer be a part of the show effective immediately, and her name was quickly removed from the show's credits and from its official website.
"I take real responsibility for my own behavior at all times, but I won't take responsibility if have not made a decision I can live with. I made the decision to go out on my own terms," Jones said. "I wanted to be able to control it so when I walk back in here, if I were ever invited, I would feel good about coming in."
Watch more videos from The View
Walters and Joy Behar also asked Jones about her 2003 gastric bypass surgery. At the time, Jones refused to confirm she had undergone the procedure, despite her subsequent 160 pound weight loss. "We tried to protect you. We were told, 'Don't say it was gastric [bypass]. Say it was pilates and portion control,' " Behar said. "You are now a skinny b---. Congratulations."
Added Walters: "We did lie for you!"
Watch the full semi-awkward exchange below:
What do you think of Jones' reason for leaving? Do you miss seeing her on The View?

How Do I Apply for an Income Tax Extension?
Small businesses can file for a tax extension without fear of it causing undo scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). In fact, when you file for an extension, you don't even need to provide an explanation for the request as long as the form is filled out properly and submitted on time. According to The Washington Post, approximately 10 million businesses file for a tax extension each year. Filing for the extension can be done through most tax preparation software, through your accountant or the IRS electronic filing system.
Visit the IRS Website tax forms section at IRS.gov.
Locate Form 4868 if your business is run as a sole proprietorship. Different form numbers are needed for other types of businesses, so be sure to review the list to find the appropriate one for you, or consult your tax preparer.
Print the form and fill it out completely and accurately if you plan to send it in through regular postal mail. Follow the instructions on the form for electronic filing options.
Send the form via regular mail or submit it through your chosen electronic filing service, and include a payment for any estimated taxes due.
- The request for tax extension allows you to postpone filing your tax paperwork, but it does not allow you to postpone paying taxes that are due. The IRS requires you to make a good faith payment of an amount equal to what you estimate your taxes to be. Failure to make the good faith payment can result in additional fines, fees or interest added to your tax bill.

What's kind of funny is we are having ALL kind of events, but NONE of them actually implies/relies on playing the game...
While we all know the Facebook event is a mere marketing event ("ehi, this game has 345k likes, let's play it!" idea) and the Forum events are definitely lazy (no offense but they just need to read 3 pages of posts and choose a winner, like 10m of time, really?), we actually lack the feeling of the Anniversary itself (let's not forget it comes 3 months later... More like a summer marketing event disguised as Anniversary if you ask me)...
On a side note, the last Nirvana Fiasco being added to countless mistakes they did helps us remember all those unfixed bugs/issues we are asking till... Well, let's simply say "pre-Domino" era...
