A last shot of winter has hit parts of Britain including Cumbria with a flurry of snow before temperatures are set to rise at the weekend.
Parts of south west England received a dusting of white as did higher ground on the Cumbrian and Northumberland border.
Dartmoor is covered in a blanket of snow which can be seen in these photographs which make the park in March look like a Arctic beauty spot
Wintry showers and hail storms have also been reported across the country.
Snow ploughs were seen clearing snow near Hartside Top Cafe, in Cumbria, which claims to be the highest cafe in England.
But as the weekend approaches temperatures in London and parts of the south could hit 20 degrees with people enjoying the first real sign of summer.
Paul Knightley, forecast manager at MeteoGroup, said: "There's been a covering of snow over Dartmoor, some in places in Scotland and other parts of high ground.
"Over the next few hours a few more showers of snow will continue towards the south west of England and a little bit for the Pennines too.
"As we get towards the weekend there will be a change in the wind which will pull warm air from the continent and temperatures in London might get up to the 19 or 20 degrees."
This would mean the weekend could see temperatures double what is normally experienced at this time of year.
But forecasters are warning that not everyone will benefit from the upturn, with eastern and north eastern parts of the UK facing a cold wind and showers.
Mr Knightley said: "Some areas will enjoy the warmer weather but there also will be exceptions. Further to the east and above the Humber area there be will a south east wind which will be chilly."
It is also thought that temperatures may continue to be slightly higher than normal through next week, but still with a risk of more rain.

Hosted by Ciara Young
"I worked with ciara on the three session business bundle, I started a soul led business last year and Ciara guiding me effortlessly through the holes in my business. Like Ciara I am a deeply spiritual being and often my 'blockages' are not surface level problems but more metaphysical and often ancient wounds. I loved doing the Time Line Therapy with Ciara and we got to the root of where my lack consciousness was coming from. Ciara guided me back to when I was in the womb and helped me clear my timelines from there. We also worked with my inner child and Ciara reminded me to bring my natural sense of magic and enchantment into my work. Since then I feel much safer and confident on my path and a whole new reality is unfolding quite quickly for me, Ciara is very professional, compassionate and thorough with her work, love working with her." - Tricia O'Connor, Artist & Priestess
"My intuition led me to booking a coaching session with Ciara and I am so grateful that I followed those inner stirrings. I have found such profound resonance with her that it is truly awe-inspiring! Ciara is a spiritual leader, mentor, innovator, healer and visionary. Her depth of metaphysical understanding and mystical power are remarkable. It is astonishing how she is able to translate this practically to her clients. She was able to simultaneously "meet me where I was at" and connect to the vastness of my being, which enabled me to connect with a far greater sense of Self. Her wisdom and guidance have been invaluable to me on my spiritual journey and had incredible transformational effects in my daily life. There are no words which properly convey the depth of admiration, respect, and gratitude I have for Ciara and the work she does. I highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking to connect more lovingly and compassionately to their own being; and create more grace, insight, and ease along their spiritual path." - Em Cox, USA
Dearest Ciara, I believe that this is a love story. Not only the love, respect, and wonder for Ciara as mentor and friend, but more importantly and wholly, for my own Being. For the empowerment, fulfillment, love, and embracing of the highest potential of my own unique journey guided by her clarity of truth and wisdom. I can't say it's been easy. Many, many times have I raged in my sorrow and devastation at seeing through those illusions that kept me warm and fed. Yet, I am emerging, and have emerged, a changed Being. A self-sovereign Being, filled with the brilliant light of perception. A Being united as a living expression of Infinite Intent. So much love for you, Ciara, that words can never express... - Nic Robichaud, Canada
Out of a personal emotional emergency something very special happened: I contacted Ciara in deep search for help for an issue and she was able to clear my view right away and lift me up. Besides that she provided several healings for me and made sure I received every information we talked about.
When I had the session with Ciara, her lovely warmhearted being made me feel comfortable in an instant. I was completely laid back without any hesitation to tell what I truly think and feel (in my experience not usual with every professional!). Ciara's coaching surpassed my expectations. She is a truly dedicated, gifted healer, very articulated and with her on- point-analytical abilities she reminded me of what I did not consider. She awakened my inspiration!
During the session, I started feeling constantly pure joy and happiness which kept flowing through my body even days after we talked.
She taught me the tools how to deal with a current emotion and what can I say - I decided to use the tools and I see an improvement in my life right away :) Even days after our coaching I feel uplifted, happy and inspired. The change that took place is miraculous :)
What is equally beautiful besides the help I received from Ciara is that it feels that I have met a friend from a long time ago, a pure being, joyful, shining and radiating love, helping the world to be a better place.
I trust you very much. It is such a pleasure to have you as my coach. Thank you so much Ciara! - Monika, Germany
I have been blessed to be able to work with Ciara recently. Her genuine kindness and compassion immediately put me at ease. Her approach towards our encounter was indeed only for the Highest Outcome for me as an individual.
During my session I felt an inner sense of calm from just hearing her voice. Her insight into what modes of healing, techniques of thought or movement or new practices to put into place helped me to align with the best steps to take from where I was at that moment. She offered this information with a multitude of grace and astuteness! I am pleased to say that I have been especially successful at using the suggestions she gave me for Inner Child work.
Since my session I have been able to implement and see actual growth and change in several key areas of my life. It has been overwhelming and wonderful simultaneously!
In my opinion, many souls will benefit from the knowledge and raw emotion that shines through to you when you work with Ciara. She is the channel for the light that may be what you need to allow change and growth for your life. - Emily A
I have no words to describe the deep respect I have for you and your healing work and the vast knowledge you possess and share so readily and eloquently. I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me and my family too since we've met. - S, Ireland
You have been such a blessing in my life, to help me reach higher evolutionary stages. Your wealth of knowledge and talents are truly inspiring. You have been the best kept secret!! - Lynne, Canada
A dear friend shared her experiences during a session she had with Ciara. I immediately scheduled one for myself which has changed my life! The releasing of old belief systems and programs has been so complete during the sessions that I'll be in the middle of a sentence about the belief or program and have to stop, because I can't remember what it was. It's gone in its entirety! I've shed stagnation in a business and the magic unfolding is mind-boggling. Manifesting has taken on a power of its own by applying what Ciara has taught me, and life is feeling so much more effortless. Revelations and ways of being continue to unfold even between our weekly sessions. I am not the being I was just a month ago before our sessions. Also, the sub-personalities have been unleashed gracefully through Ciara's coaching. Each and every session is a "quantum leap" in consciousness...I feel like an excited child on a magical adventure as the eternal moment continues to unfold. Much love dear Ciara! - Olivia S. United States
I believe it makes a big difference in me, everything you do, you are a treasure! Don't need to wonder why you are so booked all the time. - Terttu, USA
Once again Ciara thank you so much for the healing! I am really feeling the effects of it today! Massive activation! You are a blessing!! Much love and gratitude!! xx - Ciara K, Ireland
My recent clarity coaching session offered me a sacred space in which I was able to explore deep layers of myself freely within the divine, compassionate and clear guidance of Ciara. Highly skilled with a wealth of knowledge, wisdom and life experiences, Ciara inspired me to actively work on overcoming mental hurdles, childhood traumas, attachment issues as well as self imposed blocks by providing me with empowering spiritual information as well as practical exercises which I was able to put in practice straight away!
What I appreciate the most is the deep honesty and integrity in which Ciara conduct her sessions, transmitted through the calm sounds of her voice, professionalism as well as her pure loving mission to people's suffering by finding their infinite source of love, by finding and accepting the magnificent beauty of the inner self. - Daniela, London
I feel so honoured to work with you- thank you for doing so much hard work - making it easier for the ones following your path. I feel a real shift- a real happiness from deep within. - Maureen, Canada
Ciara.... Thank you doesn't feel strong enough to express my gratitude. I really enjoyed our time together. You are definitely gifted not only as a healer but as a communicator. You express yourself in such a clear and loving way. I feel blessed our path have crossed. Much love and gratitude to you. - Sara, Canada
Last night as I was lying in bed I set the intent to continue moving the power as we did yesterday. I had 5 very vivid remote viewing occurrences. One of them I've never encountered before. I was looking out at my own face! It was like my face was in front of me! I think it had to do with embracing my own vastness. There was absolutely no fear. I have just never experienced it before.
I so thoroughly enjoyed working with you today Ciara... I have been experiencing ahaa moments all day since we finished talking. You are a breath of fresh air, or should I say 'a fresh breeze' of joyful, insightful love. Deep respect and love xx - Susan B, Australia
I am so excited and curious for my practice moving forward, and can't thank you enough! You have such an amazing way of presenting concepts in a new manner where it just clicks. In such gratefulness and love. - N, Canada
I been doing great thanks to you and all your work you had done to help me out. Since the last time that we have talked on Skype I didn't feel any bad symptom, I did everything that you told me to and it feels good. Aloha. - Fabio, Hawaii
Feeling strong and positive, I have come back home and am faced with challenges and more than able to deal with them. I went straight to the health food shop and bought goodies and am going to make coconut cookies. They will help a little! Thank you again for such a profound and honest time and meeting of hearts. I truly cannot find the words to express my gratitude at the deep healing that I encountered with you. I just loved the fire ceremony and reclaiming my womb. Much love and blessings. - Angie, London
Just want to tell you how much I love and respect you. I don't think I could have continued support without you in my life. You really are magnificent and your wisdom is so needed. I look forward to your next webinar. - Aisling, Ireland
Describing a master like Ciara is like trying to put a shooting star in a cardboard box. It doesn't work - but we'll try anyway.
We've all heard of those rare kinds of people; Those who are different. Those that change just about everyone they come into contact with. We've all heard that they would be coming to this planet at this time. We've all heard of them, but rarely do we meet such a person. Well, in Ciara you've found one.
Through her own journey of combining the rich experiences of unfolding cosmic life, working with the unseen realms and living a day to day life, Ciara is able to explain advanced spiritual concepts in plain English and shares what it actually means to live a life of mastery. Some of the main topics she discusses are sacred sexuality, energy management, ceremonial power work and breaking free from social bondages.
Uncompromising in her devotion to the divine in you and me. Incorruptible in her actions. Honest, graceful, humble, outrageous, gentle and full of humor. If you ever wondered how a spiritual master in the flesh is when they are very young, you cannot miss out on the chance to work with her.
A lot of bold statements, but Ciara lives up to every single one of them. I cannot help but be touched, inspired and derive a sense of hope, knowing that there are these kinds of people out there, silently working away, making the world a better place for all of us. - Niels, The Netherlands
Ciara is an impeccable and pure instrument of the Divine. She is incredibly gifted, smart, and clear in her intent to share her knowledge, wisdom, and expertise with the world-stage-at-large. She has a bright future ahead of her. World, listen up. Ciara is here and has something invaluable to offer us all. - Noor Najafi, Scholar & Mystic-Teacher, USA
I met Ciara very briefly in Jan 2013. It was very good timing and I found her to be just the right person at the right time. We spoke quickly covering many important topics and she gave me a lot of insight into things I had been mulling over for some time. We spoke about "Debaptising" about which she said that maybe I should work on myself. Then, in a very nice way she did some beautiful energy work for me, I believe she did my debaptizing after all. It wasn't all rockets and lights, much more subtle but her words and the effect of her work have stayed with me to the day. I greatly appreciate the little time I spent with her and count her among my teachers. There are not a lot of people out there with the courage she has to be able to tell you what you really need to know, it may not always be pleasant or easy to hear but if you can really listen then it will serve you. - Aron, Ibiza
WOW! Everyone, I just got one of the very, very first (signed) copies in the mail today. Do not miss out on this one. This is glorious. Ciara will take you on a journey of intimacy, honesty and humility. If you ever thought 'where is that spiritual cavalry that people were talking about back in the 80's and 90's that would be coming in to change the planet?', well with this little booklet Ciara shows you that she has been here all along. This one blew my straight out of the water. From a deeply affected reader; Thank you Ciara. - Niels, The Netherlands
For Ciara, I have never met her, yet she feels just like an old friend. Her constant push to realize truly has no end. In a world that seems hidden with foul stage plays, she rises from the ashes of a fire we have made. Thank you my friend for reaching out of time, to a world of wonder, magically sublime. And even though we are One, it is comforting to know, there are luminating gifts in everything we sew. - Phoebe, Canada
Reading and hearing your words is like a drink of the cleanest sweetest water for my being. - A, Ireland
My whole-being is abuzz with excitement and ignition from the depth and clarity of your conveyance, and the gratitude that I feel for your expression is beyond my ability to express with words.... - Jodie, Canada
You have changed my life tremendously! Deepest gratitude to you! I'm at work to day and am going to flow this incredible power through the day to benefit others and manifest something for myself! - OB, USA
Ciara is an amazing healer, and a real joy to work with. She has the ability to grasp complex concepts on multiple dimensions and makes them understandable and manageable. She makes what seemed impossible, possible. I love how she always honours your own unique perspective as well. A true blessing to the world. - Maureen Robichaud, Canada
To work with Ciara is to feel renewed hopefulness and eager anticipation towards your unfolding future. Her compassionate yet earnest approach will put you at ease. Her deep and extensive knowledge incisively applied will astound and positively challenge you to move towards a life of grace and self-sovereignty. I am glad we have such a trailblazer with grace and humility helping light the path forward. Life is definitely richer for it. - L, USA

Note: We can produce customize machine according to your requirements.
The Glass Loader is very suitable for loading various kinds of flat glass, which has the specification of
high automatism and steady performance in the glass deep processing. It is mainly used in loading
the glass from another device automatical, such as glass straightline double edger , glass washing
machine. Put the glass in the specified location,after turning on the machine, the sucking begin to
work. After it sucks the glass already, put it on the roller table, transfer the glass to the frontend
device automatically. When it is need to adjust both the speed of transmission and the loading glass
quantity, the operators modify the corresponding parameters on the touch screen by both PLC
automatic control and manual control in the whole process, but manually control is primarily used in
adjustment and maintenance, each action can be done separately.
1. Horizontal motion mechanism, lifting mechanism, roll over stand on the left side of the beam,on the
right top of the conveyor table.
2. After signal is given, sucking frame transverse moves to the glass stacking frame,and stop at
specific location, the stroke and speed can be controlled by PLC.
3. Arrived at the specified location, the movement of sucking frame becomes from horizontal to vertical
quickly,and be controlled by PLC.
4. After arrived at the specified location, the movement of sucking frame becomes from vertical to
horizontal slowly,and then moves on the surface of the glass,with PLC control.
5. When the detection switch,which is near the suction cups, in contact with the glass, the traverse
motor will stop working, meanwhile the vacuum system begins to work,and the suction cups begins
to absorb the glass.
6. When the vacuum pressure reaches the pressure setting pressure,the vacuum pump stop working,
and the lifting mechanism of the suction cups will rise up 30mm,in this location, it'll stop about few
second for ensuring the single piece glass was well sucked up, finally the lifting mechanism vertical
up quickly,and then stop at the specified location.
7. When it arrived at the specified location, the sucking frame back to the origin horizontally and
overturn quickly,keep balance with the transfer table.
8. After arrived at the specified location, the movement of sucking frame becomes from horizontal to
vertical quickly, with PLC control.
9. About 20 mm from the glass surface,the suction cups release the glass by blowing the
compressed air.After the location by the transfer table, the glass quick transferred to the front end
10. When the suction cups are blowing the compressed air, the lifting mechanism move up and back
to the origin,roll over stand overturn and back to the origin too.Meanwhile the glass released from the
signal,and continue to work automatically.
Competitive Advantage:
1. It makes glass move easily and solves the difficulties of glass loader.
2. To improve the whole line automation, efficiently reduce the labor cost and the risk of industrial
injury by manual work.
3. Control system: PLC control, Touch screen, Manual/automatic switches, every move has individual
4. Traveling mechanism: national standard of square tubes, high precision gear rack transmission,
double straight line guide, straight line guide and gear rack is covered by organ shield in order to
defending power into insider of machine, which can extend its life.
5. Roller conveyor, roller is the transmission of round belt. The drive motor is gear reducer motor which
is transfer stable without noise.
6. Pneumatic turnover or servo turnover, but the servo turnover can be automatic adjusted angle of
suction cup shelf according to the laying angle of glass. It avoids the phenomenon of leakage suck
because of the deviation in the laying angle of glass.

FleshEatingZipper writes: When you think about it, six million hours of gameplay sure sounds like a lot of time. That's the figure announced by Syfy and Trion Worlds in a joint press release (that I've included below) on how many gameplay hours had been invested into Defiance, the game half of the multimedia hybrid that's also a show on the aforementioned network, but when you break it down, it doesn't really seem like much.
Wait why did you compare Defiance a new type of game that had no legs behind it to Halo 4 that had a couple behind it?
The running theme in the article seemed to be that the game should have sold more because of heavy marketing, so apparently publishers (or maybe journalists) haven't realized that marketing just gives exposure to a game. I personally wasn't excited at all for the game, and heavy marketing isn't going to change my mind. Just like very little marketing doesn't make me like a game less. Obviously people just weren't intyerested in your product, or maybe they just spent their $ on something else, planning to buy Defiance later when all the bugs have been worked out. Plus, MMOs are more of a PC market, I don't think there's many gamers who care about MMOs. Does anyone know how well Dragon Quest X is doing? Is it even available outside of Japan yet?
It's a bit boring after a while, just jump around with RT held down and you're golden.
Plus levelling is meaningless. Overall it's just not a very good game.
I keep hearing how well marketed this game was, yet I didn't even know about it until the beta released for PS Plus. I didn't know it was a show until after the game released and a review mentioned it.
Game was fun, I'd love to play it. Not for 60 dollars though because I saw this coming a mile away. Any game focused online needs players to be good, and counting on others to play something other than COD is a pain.
Watched the show and it sucked, but its on Sci-fi so didn't expect much to begin with.
Maybe because Fallen Earth has been out for a couple of years and we don't need a watered-down version of it?

Health Care Cheat Sheet (Money-in-Politics Style)
July 9, 2009 | If you've been following the money in the health care debate with us for the last month, you've probably got a pretty good sense now where it leads. As Congress continues debating the issue, we thought we'd make it even easier for you to keep track of the money by comparing the views of the big industries involved and some of the key players in each industry.

June 30, 2009 | The nursing home care industry is focusing the bulk of its attention--and likely money--on thwarting a rule supported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and originally proposed by the Bush administration.
Blue Dog Bark Backed by Insurers
June 25, 2009 | There's a particular breed of lawmaker on Capitol Hill that is pushing hard against a public health care plan, much to the delight of two seriously moneyed special interest groups-insurers and pharmaceuticals.

Tracking Your Representatives' Health Care Cash
June 25, 2009 | Here's a cool tool that brings together data from various parts of OpenSecrets.org to show how much money each current lawmaker has raised from various health-related industries and the health sector overall since 1989 (including President Obama's haul).

Follow the month-long series here.
Power Players: Senate Health Committee Chair Gets a Large Dose of Finance, Health Industry Funds
March 25, 2009 | Even as he deals with his own health challenges, as chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) has committed himself to focusing on improving the quality and accessibility of American health care. Kennedy's interest in the country's health care issues has brought him money from various health-related industries.
Obama Selects Daschle to Head HHS
November 20, 2008 | By selecting former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) to head the Health and Human Services Department, Barack Obama is tapping the expertise of a man whose political campaigns in the public sector and salary in the private sector have been paid, in part, by the health care industry.
Retirees Propel McCain to the Fundraising Finish Line
September 3, 2008 | Preparing for a general election in which he cannot collect private donations, John McCain vaulted in front of Barack Obama in fundraising from one of the biggest groups of donors in American politics: the senior set.

Democrats Get First Aid from Health Sector
May 23, 2008 | Democrats have never been the recipients of the larger share of contributions coming from the deep pockets of the pharmaceutical industry. Until this election cycle, that is.

BEST Getting Better
Dr. Lori Russell-Chapin works with high school students Nicole Happ, left, and Ashley Hudson, right.
By Frank Radosevich II
July 20, 2012
Sixteen-year-olds are not normally mistaken for graduate students. But when they work alongside Bradley faculty collecting and analyzing data, the mix-up is understandable.
Though still in high school, Ashley Hudson and Nicole Happ have been confused for master's students as they help carry out neurological research this summer with Bradley's Dr. Lori Russell-Chapin.
Happ and Hudson are working with Dr. Russell-Chapin at the Center for Collaborative Brain Research with the BEST program. Their summer research includes graphing and analyzing data as well as undergoing some of the same neuro-feedback tests Dr. Russell-Chapin runs on patients. Both students will join about 20 other BEST interns in presenting their research during an Aug. 10 symposium and said their experience working on campus has been invaluable.
"I was interested in neuroscience; it's what I want to major in and that's what really drew me in to the program," said Happ of Monticello, Ill. "I wanted to get a head start in the research so when I get to college as a freshman, I'll have that extra step and gain more opportunities."
The BEST (Building Excellent Scientists for Tomorrow) program pairs area high school students with researchers in Bradley science labs and other partnering institutions. The program targets underrepresented groups in science and math fields at a young age to solidify and increase their academic interest in those areas.
In its eighth year, the 10-week internship program has grown and now offers internships in clinical research and sustainability — Clinical Research Experiences for Students (CREST) and Research Internships for a Sustainable Environment (RISE).
"It's very fun to be a mentor and encourage students, females especially, to go into science fields," said Dr. Russell-Chapin, co-director for the brain center. This was her first year working with students under the CREST project.
"They have been extremely helpful and I've tried to give them a broad-based experience. I think it's an incredible opportunity," she said.
The high school students who participate in the BEST program go on to graduate and attend college, with most seeking degrees in science, math or engineering fields. Many former interns choose Bradley as their university and serve as undergraduate or graduate mentors to high school students.
Dr. Kelly McConnaughay, BEST program director and associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said the new CREST and RISE categories expose teenagers to new, cutting-edge fields of study that otherwise they might not experience.
"We try to push the high school students out of their comfort zones and make them realize they can do it," said Dr. McConnaughay, who is also the co-director of the Center for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) Education at Bradley.
Happ said her time spent on campus with Bradley's faculty has reaffirmed her passion for studying science.
"I'm reading about all this neuroscience and actually seeing it firsthand and thinking, 'Wow, this is really awesome,'" she said.

Hey everyone! Ok so once again I have a headach question. Sorry. Ok, Since I have been taking rebif for almost a yr now, I have been getting super aweful headachs. But I have been noticing that when I inject myself, if it is a painful injection I have the headachs waking up in the middle of the night or the following day and sometimes the next two days.
I have never used the auto inject method. I just do it myself to control how fast its going in etc. I just notice that there are certain places where it will burn so bad, and sometimes other places where I can not feel it at all. The weird thing is that when the shot doesn't hurt, I dont have a headache after. I'm also getting scared that if I dont really start switching up the injection sites I will do major damage.
Because of the fact that I have had not one single relapse since I have been taking Rebif, I wont stop taking it. I'm going with this and not about to give up. If anyone could give me any help on this it would greatly appreciated! Thank you! God Bless!!!

Gov. Chris Christie put pen to paper this afternoon on the Economic Opportunity Act, the long-awaited bill designed to overhaul the state's business incentives offerings.
"Today, I'm proud to make New Jersey an even more attractive place to do business by signing the bipartisan Economic Opportunity Act," Christie said in a ceremony at the Statehouse today.
The bill consolidates five current incentive programs into two — Grow New Jersey and Economic Redevelopment and Growth — while expanding eligibility and placing more focus on job creation. Christie says doing so will help New Jersey gain a more competitive edge in both the national and global markets.
"Let's not kid ourselves," Christie said. "We're competing with other states every day for the economic pie here — in the United Sates and around the world."
Ted Zangari, a real estate attorney with Newark-based Sills, Cummis & Gross who also serves as chair for the firm's redevelopment law practice group, said he thinks the bill will produce results right out of the gate.
"I believe the next two months are going to see the beginning of a flurry of economic development opportunities for the state," Zangari said.
With New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg set to leave office, Zangari said he believes the timing is perfect for New Jersey to capitalize on out-of-state business with its new set of competitive incentives.
"All the stars seem to be aligning for New Jersey to take advantage of the changing tides in the marketplace," he said.
New Jersey Business & Industry Association President Philip Kirschner said the new law will not just help in bringing new business to the state, but also provide decent enough incentives to keep those already there.
"When it comes to attracting companies, the competition is fierce, because the stakes are so high," Kirschner said in a prepared statement. "Locating a facility in a new state brings tremendous amounts of capital investment and the economic benefits of job creation that last years into the future. Likewise, keeping New Jersey companies from moving to other states is vital to keeping our economy moving forward and protecting the jobs we have."
A similar sentiment was echoed by New Jersey Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Bracken, who noted the bill works to serve businesses of all sizes in a positive manner.
"This legislation is very good news for those who care about the New Jersey economy, because it is specifically designed to grow jobs and motivate companies to expand in the Garden State," Bracken said in a statement. "It allows more businesses, including small and midsize firms, to qualify for already existing tax credits when they create jobs or bring jobs to New Jersey."
Notably absent from today's ceremony was former Assemblyman Al Coutinho (D-Newark), who pleaded guilty last week to theft from his family's nonprofit foundation and falsifying financial disclosure forms with the Legislature.
Coutinho was the bill's primary sponsor in the Assembly and chairman of its Commerce and Economic Development Committee.
The bill had initially been sent to Christie in August but was sent back to the Legislature with two recommended changes — removing a requirement that union labor be used in construction and building services at projects that receive tax breaks, and eliminating tax credits for hospital redevelopment projects.
Christie's changes were swiftly approved last week by both the Assembly and Senate, sending it back to the governor's desk.
NJBIZ first reported on its website today that the bill would be signed this afternoon.

HOUSTON -- Marcus Thigpen gave the Dolphins a fleeting ray of sunshine with a 72-yard punt return TD in the third quarter.
But the Dolphins offense cannot move the ball with consistency. And the defense cannot stop the Texans with consistency.
And so this game is 27-10 at the moment and hope of a Dolphins comeback is fading.

Global experts convene at Loyola to discuss transparency in government
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?
Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - October 29, 2012
Is today's information society really the best breeding ground for transparency in government? Scholars hailing from Europe and North America will convene at Loyola University New Orleans to discuss that question along with the many facets of openness in government for the XIIth Congress of the International Association of Legal Methodology. The free two-day event hosted by the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 1, from 9:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Friday, Nov. 2, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. It takes place in room 308 of the College of Law. The event is open to the public, but registration is recommended.
College of Law Dean María Pabón López, J.D., and Jean-Yves Chérot, IALM president and law professor from Aix Marseille Université, will offer opening remarks. A full list of speakers and topics is available online.
Sessions include "Transparency of Legislative Procedure," "Criminal Justice Through the Prism of Transparency," "Transparency of the Judicial Process in Modern Technological Courtrooms" and "Transparency and Private Law Contracts," among others.
According to Loyola College of Law professor Dominique Custos, Ph.D., the Judge John D. Wessel Distinguished Professor of Law and organizer of this event, the requirement that government must operate in the sunshine radiates throughout the legislative, executive and judicial branches and is essential to holding public officials accountable for their actions.
"Transparency also informs contractual dealings whether in public procurement or among private parties," Custos said.
For more information, contact Custos at email@example.com or 504-861-5660.

Drive along the elegant Passeig de Gracia, one of Barcelona's most important shopping and business districts, lined with wrought-iron street lamps and some of the city's most celebrated Modernist architecture. Both the Passeig and the Rambla radiate out from the enormous Catalunya Square, considered to be the heart of the city. Stop to admire Gaudi's controversial and towering masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia (The Holy Family) Church. Begun in 1883, it is still unfinished.
For the grand finale you'll head to the Spanish Village, where you'll find full-scale replicas of the most representative buildings and squares from all over Spain. At the Tablao de Carmen in the Andalusian Quarter you'll be entertained by a lively flamenco show. This very expressive Spanish dance form features guitars, song, dance, and much rhythmic foot stomping and hand clapping.

Pictorial HD Review
Off-beat puzzle games aren't hard to find on the iPad and iPhone, but Pictorial HD earns extra points for its soothing atmosphere and presentation. Essentially a series of three-dimensional, connect-the-dots puzzles, Pictorial doesn't task you with drawing lines between dots. Instead, it takes constellations and creates surprisingly creative 3D puzzles out of the stars.
The play screen for two-thirds of the game is a night sky with a center cluster of stars that can be rotated in all directions. The star cluster moves together, and as you turn the cluster, lines begin to form. As you might guess, the larger goal of Pictorial is to rotate the stars in such a way that the lines form a picture (a la Zen Bound 2). Your lines start out barely visible, but the closer you move the stars move towards your goal, the more prominent the lines appear. A timer ticks down from 1000, and the faster you solve the puzzle, the more points you'll earn in the end.
There are 60 puzzles spread across three different night skies. The first 20 puzzles are set against a simple, starry night. The second set has an arctic backdrop, and the third places the puzzles on a pirate's treasure map. No matter what the background is, the gameplay remains the same. While a few of the puzzles require some finicky finger work to get the stars in the right spot, most of the puzzles only take a couple of seconds to complete. So, while the 60 included puzzles might seem like a lot at first, Pictorial offers less than an hour of total gameplay.
On the plus side, the developer is clearly planning to release more levels, but unless you're obsessed with beating previous times, there's little reason to play a level again once it's completed. The presentation is simple enough for kids to pick up, while the dreamy music that accompanies each level is both beautiful and soothing.
Pictorial HD is an intriguing concept and interesting in execution, but ultimately too simple and short to keep around once you're done. For puzzle gamers who want a low key and creative distraction, it's definitely worth a look — especially since it's currently free on the iPhone. Just the same, you'll likely end up wishing there was a lot more to do here.

Ticks can cause a variety of medical problems for your dog, including Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. In large enough numbers, ticks can cause dangerous amounts of blood loss, especially in young animals. An effective tick control program is essential to your dog's good health, and always involves treating both the environment and the animal.
Environmental Tick Control
Tick control in the environment generally involves treating the yard and kennel areas. We prefer an environmentally-safe spray containing fenvalerate for this purpose. Follow product directions carefully. You may need to spray every 7 to 14 days during peak tick months. Remember that cold, frosty fall weather does not kill ticks (in fact, that is when deer tick numbers are usually at their peak), so treat your yard well into the fall and early winter. Regardless of the product used, remember not to spray where runoff could go into lakes or rivers. Removing leaves and clearing brush and tall grass from around the house and kennel areas can also help reduce the number of ticks.
The Brown Dog Tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus is the most troublesome tick in kennels and yards and is found almost everywhere. It can complete its life cycle in about 2 months, and although uncommon, it can become established indoors. If you do encounter an indoor tick problem, use a flea and tick fogger, spray or powder. Fog as you would for fleas. In the house, ticks tend to crawl to a higher area (like they do in grass). They may be found in cracks around windows and doors. Because of this tendency and the fact that ticks crawl, and do not jump or fly, another option is to apply a 1-foot barrier of insecticide such as a flea and tick spray or powder where the carpet meets the wall around the entire room. As a result, ticks moving to the walls to climb higher will come in contact with the insecticide and be killed. And, finally, remember to wash your pet's bedding regularly.
Tick Control on Your Pet
There are many tick control products for pets, including once-a-month topical products, sprays, powders, dips, shampoos, and collars.
Once-a-month Topicals:
Once-a-month topical insecticides are applied to a small area on the back of the pet, are probably the easiest product to use, and generally, last the longest. Some kill fleas and ticks, and others just fleas, so check the label carefully. Ingredients generally include permethrin, pyrethrin, or fipronil. Examples of these products include Drs. Foster & Smith Fiprotrol™ Plus and Frontline® Plus. Do not use a product containing permethrin on cats, as it can be deadly.
Sprays: Flea and tick control sprays can come as aerosols or pump bottles. Most cats prefer the pump bottles, since the hiss from the aerosols may sound too much like the hiss of another cat. If you are going to use an aerosol spray on a cat, it may be helpful to spray a cloth with the product (away from the cat), and then rub the cat with the cloth. When using a spray, you do not have to soak the pet with the spray, but be sure to spray all parts of the animal. Spray a small amount on a cotton ball to apply the product around the eyes and ears. Do not get any of these products in the eyes. Follow your veterinarian's and the manufacturer's directions on how often to spray, and spray in a well-ventilated area. Sprays often contain permethrin or pyrethrin. Do NOT use products containing permethrin on cats, as it can be deadly.
Powders: Powders are generally easy to apply but can create a mess. If you or your pet has asthma, powders may not be the best choice of product since the powder could be inhaled. Be sure to use powders in well-ventilated areas. Powders often contain pyrethrin.
Dips and Rinses: Dips and rinses are applied to the entire animal. They generally have some residual activity. They should be applied in a well-ventilated area according to your veterinarian's and the manufacturer's directions. It is helpful to put cotton balls in the pet's ears and ophthalmic ointment in the pet's eyes. Even with these precautions, be very careful not to get any of the product in the pet's ears or eyes. Dips and rinses may contain permethrin, pyrethrin, or organophosphates. Do NOT use products containing permethrin on cats.
Flea & Tick Shampoo helps to primarily rid your pet of the ticks he already has on him, although some have residual activity. To properly use a flea and tick shampoo you must be sure to work the shampoo in over the entire body and then leave it on at least 10 minutes before you rinse it off. This is true of almost any medicated shampoo. Again, remember to protect the eyes and ears of the pet. (HINT: Cats often do not like running water. It is often better to pour water over a cat with a large pitcher.) Shampoos often contain pyrethrin.
Flea & Tick Collars can be effective, but must be applied properly. To get the right degree of snugness, you should just be able to get two fingers between the collar and the neck of your pet. Be sure to cut off any excess portion of the collar after you have properly applied it. Otherwise, that animal, or other pets may try to chew on the end. Check the package for information on duration of effectiveness since many collars lose effectiveness when they get wet, e.g., if your dog swims a lot. Watch carefully for any irritation under the collar. If this occurs, you may need to use a different product. The Seresto® Flea & Tick Collar does an excellent job controlling ticks.
While flea and tick products do a very good job of preventing infestations or controlling an existing problem, none are 100% effective all of the time. It's always a good idea to check your pet for ticks occasionally, especially after a trip to the woods or grassy field. If you do find an attached tick, read our article How to Remove a Tick before going it on your own.
One last point: If deer ticks and Lyme disease are present where you live, you may want to consider administering a
Lyme vaccine to your dog to provide that extra protection. Your veterinarian can tell you if this extra precaution is a good idea for your area.

Music to Your Ears
By the time you read this, we'll most likely at least have some indication as to whether America is in for a new beginning and a chance at relative peace and prosperity or simply Dubya Dubya III. If the case turns out to be the latter, I'm either dead right now of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the mouth or attempting to seek political refuge in Canada. Or if it turns out that this is my last column for the Alibi, I wish you all well. ... Anyway, The Oktober People will celebrate the release of their eponymous debut CD on Friday, Nov. 5, at the Launchpad with simple., Foma and The Mindy Set. If you haven't yet heard the record, you're in for a sonic treat that should get you through the holidays and right on up through Memorial Day 2005 without having to buy another record. ... Now calling himself a "reformed classical guitar champion"—he's won both international classical and fingerstyle guitar competitions—local guitar powerhouse Michael Chapdelaine has just released an exceptional new CD, Bach is Cool, featuring the music of, you guessed it ... Bach. He'll perform selections from the new CD as well as music by Brouwer, Villa-Lobos, Alben and a few of his own compositions on Sunday, Nov. 7, at the Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15. Call 277-3928 or e-mail email@example.com for more information and reservations. ... In what is likely to be one of the most odd-ball rock shows of the past few months, San Francisco's The Slow Poisoners will join forces with Israeli indie rock duo, Mother's Anger (see this week's "Lucky 7" calendar) and Burque's own Rakes of Mallow on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at Burt's Tiki Lounge. The Slow Poisoner's latest offering, Melodrama, is a beautifully strange conceptual piece of rock dinner theater. Trust me, it'll all make sense once you get there.
Blue Note
Sublime. Perhaps never before has the word been more gainfully employed than in the description of Perla Batalla's spark plug of a voice. The Los Angeles-born singer is the Latina Aretha Franklin and, at times, Patsy Cline. She runs a stylistic gamut that stretches wide between Arabic drone and Mexican lullabies, and no matter what she happens to be singing, it's quite likely among the most beautiful and inspiring things you've ever heard.
Music Magnified
Dirty Dozen Brass Band
Tuesday, Nov. 9; Launchpad (21 and over, 8 p.m.): New Orleans' infamous Dirty Dozen Brass Band took their name back in 1977 from one of the Crescent City's innumerable "Social and Pleasure" clubs, where the ensemble came together specifically to provide musical diversion for those who came to relax at the club.
Sonic Reducer
Twisted Sister Still Hungry (Spitfire Records)
The world needs a 20th anniversary re-release of Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry LP like it needs another four years of George W. Bush. But, at press time, we're stuck with at least one of the above. Aside from a pair of bona fide, albeit criminally overplayed, '80s rock anthems ("We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock"), the original album was basically a steaming pile of shit. And you just can't polish a turd into anything but a shiny turd. Not even with two "lost" tracks from the original sessions and five new TS songs recorded earlier this year.

Google, EarthLink, BlackBerry, and Red Hat have joined forces and asked the FTC and the US Department of Justice to address the harm caused by patent trolling. "Our comments today also focus on a worrisome trend: some companies are increasingly transferring patents to trolls - and providing incentives to assert those patents against their competitors. These transfers can raise rivals' costs and undermine patent peace. This trend has been referred to as patent 'privateering': a company sells patents to trolls with the goal of waging asymmetric warfare against its competitors." Big figures: patent trolls cost the US economy $30 billion per year.

2018 Premiers
A Grade
Thankyou to Wirrulla Football and Netball Clubs, our Grand final host
By Peter Schwab
Director of Coaching
AFL Game Development
John Maxwell in his book the 360 degree leader looks at common misconceptions about leadership or as he states leadership myths.
People aspiring to a leadership position can often have a misconception about being a leader and what is required or what circumstances are needed so they can lead. Being a leader is not a position but a way of behaving which creates an environment where people feel connected, committed and valued.
My old Hawthorn coach Allan Jeans use to say, "you don't need to respect me, but respect the position I hold within the Club."
In truth I never quite agreed with that statement. Yes I respected the position of coach of Hawthorn, but if Allan was going to be the coach I needed to respect him, and to respect him he would need to be judged by his actions.
It was clear straight away Allan was a man to respect and a leader to admire.
Another friend clarified the definition for leadership for me when she said, "Substitute the word friend for leader and friendship for leadership and you can grasp the concept better."
It just needs you to consider the attributes and behaviours you expect from a friend and that leads you to friendship. So what are the attributes and behaviours you expect of a leader and you then understand leadership a bit better.
But what are some of the excuses or as Maxwell would say the myths of leadership.
So here's a checklist for you:

I am trying Sublime Text 2 beta on both Windows and OSX. I've seen several bits of instructions on a page, post or thread but never a complete set of instructions for either OS.
I have no experience with Python and it seems that the one instruction that looked promising needed a command "hg" that I do not recognize. I've seen other instructions that say I should just copy the files into a folder named "ZenCoding" within "Packages" and then restart the editor. This does not help me either.
Could someone please type out clear instructions from start to finish for ST2

Thanks for the reply, buzzomatic! Unfortunately, I've tried this method several times on both OSes and have no success.
I noticed on both OSes that all the folders within Packages have at least one file with the extension .tmLanguage. In the default "branch" zip file that you pointed to in #1, there's mostly files with the extension .py but not one file with the .tmLanguage extension.
Am I missing something?
See this tutorial .. hows workin on a Windows 7
s workin
A .tmLanguage file is used for syntax highlighting. As far as I know, ZenCoding doesn't add any syntax highlighting so it won't have any of these files.Have you tried looking at your console? ctrl+`When you say you've had no success, what do you mean? What are the symptoms?
oriceon, I'm shocked. I have no clue how you are making that work!!
So, I did exactly as you did on your screencast. Even without ZenCoding, html will automatically expand. But, I cannot get the same ul>li*5 to expand using ctrl-e on either OS.
Should ZenCoding show up as an option under Tools>Snippets? I don't see anything under there either. Check out the screencast to make sure I'm on the right track.
And yes, I had previously restarted ST2 when I started the screencast.
You have to set syntax to HTML or something else.
In default text edit mode it didn`t work as you expected.
Go to View -> Syntax -> HTML
then type ul>li*5 and hit tab key or ctrl + space.
Got it! I completely overlooked where sublimator said the keystrokes for expansion and as you type. I'm so used to ctrl-e for expansion since I use it all the time for both Coda and Notepad++ so this wasn't obvious to me.
as you type
Thanks for the help!
These steps work perfectly for me and I followed the example listed. I am using Windows 7 32-bit Professional.
If auto-formatting is ever added, it will be the best $59USD ever spent.
Great tool and the development seems to be steady - keep up the good work.
Or you could just install the package control plugin http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
Then use the "install package" command and select zen coding.
This way it will auto update too.
Unfortunately sublimator has disappeared from this forum and his repositories have disappeared from BitBucket.
Perhaps someone has a checkout of ZenCoding and wishes to take over maintenance? I presume the license allows for that, but I don't recall what it is, off of the top of my head.
I really need the files to add zen to sb2
Uh...it is not possible to download from here: bitbucket.org/sublimator/sublim ... /downloads
"Error Access denied"
ZenCoding is now available again via Package Control. wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control
i cannot install zen code from package control, its says
Package Control: Error downloading repository. URL error host not found downloading https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/wbond/sublime-2-zencoding.
How do i install zen code in sublime text 2?
I am having issues that I think have to do with conflicts with other packages or keybindings.if I type "script", tab or "ctrl+space" expands it to:"" as expected,
but forul>li*3tab or ctrl+space gives meul>li*350
for ul>li*5tab does nothing and ctrl+space gives meul>li*
Has anyone else come across something similar or know what settings I should change?
Subscribe to every word.
ul>li*5>a → ul>li*5>
I guess the problem is that ZC expand action is based on editor auto completition. Maybe it can be disabled?
Is there a way to change the key stroke for Zen Coding expansion? I already have Ctrl + space mapped to something else.

I have a 5-month old exclusively breastfed that is healthy and doing well. I work (too much) and pump and in the past 2 months have struggled with keeping my supply up. I have been taking Fenugreek, drinking lots of water, and making sure I get enough protein and am hanging in there, supply-wise.
Close to a month ago, I noticed my right breast was not feeling as full. I also began to notice that with pumping, my right breast would produce less. As soon as I noticed this, I made a conscious effort to encourage him to nurse on the right side more. The supply continued to decrease on that breast. The past week, I have really focused on making sure he nurses on the right side more than the left and my supply is continuing to drop on the right. It's to the point now that my pumping production on my right breast is consistently less than half of the left, despite my increased emptying of this breast.
I can't think of any reason that a breast would produce less milk than the other if it is being emptied more often. I am stressed about my supply to begin with, so I really want to get the supply on my right breast back up.
I really, really appreciate any advice or help. Thanks in advance!

Hillary Rodham Clinton finally declared her support for marriage equality for gay couples on Monday. But her decision to do so now is being interpreted by many as a signal she may be seriously weighing a 2016 presidential run, and attempting to defuse an issue that made her look too politically cautious to win the Democratic nod in 2008.
Clinton's chief Democratic rivals all endorsed same-sex marriage as far back as seven years ago, and the issue is widely popular with both Democratic and independent voters.
By weighing in at last and throwing her support behind same sex marriage two years before the next presidential primary, Clinton may be hoping that the issue will be settled among Democrats, if she should decide to run.
In the November 2016 general election the Democratic nominee is virtually certain to support same-sex marriage, and despite increasing soul and poll searching, there's still a strong possibility the Republican nominee will not.
That could make hostility to same sex marriage a defining wedge issue for the GOP nominee. It could have major political costs. A poll released on Monday shows a dramatic shift in public attitudes about legalizing same sex marriage, with 58 percent of Americans now supporting it. Three years ago, the figure was 47 percent, the ABC News/Washington Post poll reported.
Seventy-two percent of Democrats, 62 percent of independents and only 34 percent of Republicans support same-sex marriage, the latest ABC-Post poll found. If Republican opinions do not change significantly on the issue in the next two years, a GOP presidential hopeful may find the position causes considerable problems in the November general election.
Clinton recently stepped down as secretary of State, freeing her to talk more openly about U.S. domestic political matters. But even close observers cannot tell if it indicates her intention to throw her hat in the ring in 2016.
'I have no idea whether she is going to run or not,' veteran strategist Jim Manley told the New York Times. 'All I know is that she was going to have to make this move quickly after stepping down as secretary of State if she was even going to think about it.'
Same-sex marriage is now legal in nine states and the District of Columbia. Civil unions are legal in eight more states, with Colorado on the verge of joining. Many other states have outlawed gay marriage.
Clinton's 2002 Senate vote authorizing an invasion of Iraq lost her major support among progressives, particularly as the war professed. In contrast President Obama, as an Illinois state legislator, had condemned the war from the start. As the 2008 primaries approached, Clinton lost valuable political ground to the lesser-known lawmaker from Illinois over the issue.
With major Democratic politicians now taking a similar stand on gay marriage, the issue may not play the type of role in 2016 that the Iraq war played in 2008, but the likely contrast from the GOP will be telling.
Some gay activists were leery of Clinton's sudden endorsement of same sex marriage on Monday. President Bill Clinton signed Don't Ask, Don't Tell in 1993 and the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996, with both bills seriously impacting the lives of millions of gay and lesbian Americans. DOMA requires the federal government to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages, still stripping gay couples of legal protections at the federal level.
Support for marriage equality is becoming a mainstream position among Democrats, but the issue is increasingly leading to a divisive war of words among Republicans. Senator Rob Portman of Ohio last week became the only Republican senator to support legalizing same-sex marriage and he did so after learning that one of his adult sons is gay.
