Yesterday was a busy day. Aside from working and going to my usual Tuesday night curling, I also had my first two braces consultations.
Consultation #1: Dr. T.
So far, the big "pro" for this orthodontist is the fact it's very close to my work (and home). The office is modern and clean and my appointment began on time (something I appreciate).
I was pleased that in several places in their office, they display a digital slide show of before and afters of their patients. Of course, all of them were kids, but some of them had way worse teeth than mine (and Andrea's).
After doing a (free) panoramic x-ray and side views and looking in my mouth a bit, I was told my jaw is steeper than the average jaw, and that if I ever want to fix everything, I'd need to get jaw surgery. Dr. T. didn't seem to think this is a necessity for me, as he said my jaw may revert to how it is anyway. With this in mind, I was given 3 options:
1. Have Dr. T. remove some teeth, then go to an oral surgeon for the jaw surgery, let that heal, then get braces for 2 years. Total cost approximately $10, 000. Ouch, literally and figuratively.
2. Get some teeth removed, braces for 2 years: $6200. This was the option the orthodontist seemed to think was best. I need to double check if the quoted price included tooth extractions.
3. No teeth extractions, braces for 2 years: "four thousand something."
Consultation #2: Dr. S.
The big pro with this dentist (he's not an orthodontist) is that it's very close to my apartment, less than 5 minutes driving.
The office was a bit older and busier, since it's a regular dentist office. A dental assistant of some kind took a look at my provided x-ray, then poked around my teeth a bit. She seemed to be looking at my gum recession more than anything, which was weird.
The dentist came in and his examination of my mouth and teeth was very strange. The best way to describe it was he was manhandling my teeth. He was pretty rough, pushing on my teeth and cheeks. He wasn't actually hurting me, but his hands were all over my face. I became aware of how ridiculous it probably looked and had to keep myself from laughing!
He presented 2 options:
1. Yada yada messed up jaw, I could get surgery but he doesn't think I really need it. Do that, get braces. No quoted price on that.
2. Get my 2 remaining wisdom teeth removed, then get 4 more teeth removed, then metal braces for no more than 2 years, "probably less." $6200. He said they do ceramic (which is what I want) but that he hates doing them and doesn't recommend them. That alone made me decide I probably won't go with this dentist. Personally, I'd rather have ceramic braces 2 years than have metal braces for 18-24 months. Maybe I'll feel differently once I have them, but right now that's how I feel.
I also had to pay $75 for that opinion. Whatever happened to "penny for your thoughts." Blah.
Tonight, my own dentist is giving me his opinion (hopefully it's free). I have a great dentist, but I'm anticipating he'll be the most expensive.

Grad will spend summer in native Cape Verde
as Metcalf Fund award recipient
May 6, 2015
Some might say that if you want to turn your life around, hard work is the way to do it. Some will admit that to make a real change, you have to have a little help. Rosa DaLomba knows it actually takes a bit of both.
"It was a very dark time in my life," she recalled, speaking of the years that followed dropping out of high school three months shy of her graduation.
What should have been a time of expansive possibility was instead a limbo for DaLomba, who defiantly moved away from home, spending the winter of 2007 sleeping in her car before settling in nearby Canton, Massachusetts.
"I had no goals, no aspirations – nothing to make me look forward to the next day," she said. "But in the back of my mind, I think I always knew that wasn't what life was about."
Now 26 and preparing to graduate from CCRI with associate degrees in both General Studies and General Business and a 3.51 GPA, the East Providence resident looks back on that time with a maturity and poise that points to just how far she's come in the intervening years.
DaLomba's lucky break came, as it often does, in an unexpected encounter. In 2008, she met Alex Matulewicz, who would become her mentor. "When he was talking to me, it was like he already knew my story. That was the first time that I heard someone say that I had potential. He started giving me encouragement, kind of planting those first little seeds to see where things would go," she said. "Then he brought up school, and he had my full attention."
Bit by bit, DaLomba gained momentum. Matulewicz told DaLomba to close her eyes and imagine her future. Where did she want to be? What did she want to accomplish? She painted a picture with her words, drew out the image of a woman who was an ideal student.
It was an admirable dream, but for DaLomba, the prospect of education remained nightmarish. English was her fourth language – she emigrated from Cape Verde when she was 7 and speaks fluent Creole, Portuguese and Spanish – and while she could communicate conversationally, she was essentially illiterate.
"I had such a hard time in high school," she said. "I'm not someone that is confrontational; I like to make people feel good. But when I would get called on, I'd become a whole new person. It didn't matter what I had to do to get kicked out of class, I'd do it, as long as I didn't have to read."
And with that admission, DaLomba had reached the core of what was holding her back. She knew she would have to start pushing herself if she was ever to emerge from her self-imposed cocoon an ideal student and confident person. She enrolled in the Exeter Job Corps Academy – "The best move I've ever made," she said – where she found she had natural leadership abilities.
Through the Academy, she received a certificate in business administration, and then enrolled in the New Summit School and received her diploma online. She went on to become the class president, leadership award-winner and commencement speaker for her class's graduation from the Job Corps Academy. But perhaps her biggest accomplishment came when she earned a perfect score on the GED® reading test, and was recognized with an award from her school.
"I remember we had an awards ceremony and the woman on stage called my name," she said. "I thought, there was no way this could be me. There must be another Rosa DaLomba. ... I broke down completely. That was the boost for my education. That was the gasoline that was put in my tank. I take that award with me everywhere I go," she said.
She began to work at the former Westin Providence Hotel, winning employee of the quarter in her first three months on the job. She then found her way to CCRI, where she began taking classes in 2012. True to her new form, she dove in wholeheartedly, taking a full course load, becoming a student ambassador and president of the Cape Verdean Student Association, all the while working for Enrollment Services and full time at the Westin. She managed all of this with a patented combination of true grit and humility, always staying open to the support and assistance available to her on campus.
"Although my journey hasn't been smooth, it hasn't been solo, and I am so thankful for that," she said, crediting the college staff, particularly Deb Watson, associate director of Enrollment Services and coordinator of the Student Ambassador Program, whom she called her "school mom."
DaLomba is one of 11 children; her parents came to this country not speaking the language and with little more than a fourth-grade education to help them make their way. Still, she said, they always told her how important education would be to her new life in the States. When she crosses the stage this month, she'll be second in her family to graduate from college; her sister graduated from CCRI last fall.
"I don't want to stop until I get my master's," she said, adding that she's weighing her options for her next steps, which may include pursuing a bachelor's degree in either the Northeast or Europe.
DaLomba's summer is already planned out – she is the recipient of the Michael P. Metcalf Memorial Fund award from the Rhode Island Foundation, a self-exploration and travel grant. She plans to travel to Cape Verde for three months and hopes to reconnect with her roots; lay the groundwork for a mentoring center for the Cape Verdean community in Central Falls and Pawtucket; and deliver clothing, food and school supplies she has collected for the residents of the islands of Brava and Fogo, which were recently devastated by a drought and volcano eruption, respectively.
"I want to help my community," she said. "If I didn't have the help that I did, who knows where I would have been."

March 14 is #MyFreedomDay. Today, students around the world are doing amazing things to raise awareness of modern slavery. Although outlawed in every country, worldwide, between 21 and 45 million people are trapped in slavery. Creating awareness is the first step in bringing about change. To represent the 45 million people trapped in modern day slavery, 45 STUDENTS OF CHISIPITE SENIOR SCHOOL IN HARARE, ZIMBABWE will depict scenes in which children are trapped by cultural, social and economic systems.
These scenes will take place in a 3 x 1.5m perspex box, representing a metaphorical trapping. Playing for 45 minutes, the length of time that the students are standing shoulder to shoulder in the box, will be a soundscape of the lifestyle so many children in Zimbabwe endure.
"At the end of the 45 minutes we will file out of the box and speak directly to the camera about our thoughts on freedom and this form of slavery. Our aim is to bring awareness to the issue that a lack of education = a lack of freedom. Children vending, hustling, heading households and being forced into early marriages needs to stop".

Market Outlook
The rupee on Friday opened 21 paise up at 63.84 against dollar on account of selling of American currency by banks and exporters.
The euro reached a 2.5 year high versus the dollar on Friday, as a policy meeting by the European Central Bank gave bulls cause for short-term optimism and did little to support the beleaguered US currency. Asked when the central bank will decide on potential policy tapering, ECB President Mario Draghi said on Thursday the bulk of these decisions will probably be taken in October.
Fundamental News
• Greece Industrial Production (YoY) climbed from previous 1.6% to 1.7% in July.
• United Kingdom Total Trade Balance registered at £-2.872B above expectations (£-3.25B) in July.
• Turkey Industrial Production (YoY) increased to 14.5% in July from previous 3.4%.
USDINR surpassed the important mark of 64.0000 on daily chart.
If the currency pair sustains below this mark then weak trend may continue whereas 64.1000-64.3000 is seen as resistance range.
EURINR continued the bull move on daily chart and closed strong in green.
Now, 77.5000 is seen as immediate resistance whereas 76.9000 is seen as key support for it.
GBPINR continued the strong move on daily chart and closed above the key resistance level.
Continuing the trend, it may find 84.5000-84.7000 as immediate resistance range while 83.9000 as support.
JPYINR opened gap up and continued the bull run towards higher levels.
Closing above 59.4000 is a strong sign and now 60.0000 is seen as next resistance mark while 59.3000-59.0000 is seen as support range.

Made a loop today,parked at Great Gulf trail and hiked up Madison Gulf Trail. Made a quick stop at Madison Hut to tank up on water. We missed out on snacks. We then headed back to Star Lake trail and headed out on the Buttress Trail. I had not hiked the Buttress since back in high school (40 years ?). Its a decidedly underused trail, grown in in many spots and and the footing can be rough (dare I say shades of the much maligned Link?). We were surprised a lone hiker with two dogs caught up with us. We talked a bit and let him by. Later on we found a water bottle down in the rocks, not sure it was his but I hauled it out. We got down to the last talus slope and decided to do bit of a diversion by finding the entrance to the former Adams Slide trail. I was a bit beat but my friend went searching the top of the talus field with no success initially, he started working west and quickly picked up the old route. Meanwhile I worked off to the side and came to the conclusion we started looking a bit too early. We then went about 50 feet into the woods and turned out onto what most decidedly is the old Adams Slide. The old route is definitely brushed in pretty deep for quite a distance but no doubt the Buttress used to branch off the Adams Slide trail and then when the slide trail was closed they just renamed the lower section as the Buttress. We quickly got to the Six Husbands junction and picked up the pace once we hit the Great Gulf trail and then did the long hike back to the parking lot.
Now that we have the old start of the slide trail located we probably would head over to the talus slope and then cut back into the woods to miss the brushed in section. Now the planning begins. The trailhead is quite a few miles in and the haul up Adams will be a long one. Heading back down Madison Gulf trail is an option but a bit of a work out, coming down Osgood adds a lot of miles. I think doing a car spot at Appalachia is probably the best option and use either Valley Way or Airline to head down. No matter what its a potentially long day hike. So maybe the "beast of the east" is on the "list" on of these weekends.
Edit - Buttress would be quite challenging in wet conditions. It tends to stay scrub most of the way but the lack of clipping and tough footing would make for slow going.

Atomic Junkyard
Psychotic Rockabilly
Atomic Junkyard is a "Psychotic Rockabilly" trio, focusing on original material based on - but not limited to - rockabilly and psychobilly, with ample doses of blues, RnB, country, punk, etc etc in there. I write all the songs, sing it, you know the drill. Although we certainly are inspired by and love the traditional rockabilly style, this band is unafraid to step out the box so often slammed on rockabilly bands to create new sounds, while still rooted in the styles developed in the 50s. This is not a retro or oldies act; we make music for right here, right now.

Ellicott® commissioned a special electric bucketwheel dredge to mine hard rock salt for Saudi Petrochemical (SADAF) at its Jubail, Saudi Arabia plant. SADAF is a joint venture of Shell and Saudi Arabia Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC). SADAF processes the salt into chlorine for PVC and caustic soda. The chlorine from the salt is used as a feedstock for a petrochemical plant which makes everything from polyvinyl chloride to photographic film.
SADAF said its new Ellicott® dredge will increase the plant's production because its 95% uptime rate is 25% better than SADAF's existing non-Ellicott® dredge and because of its superior technology. Ellicott® points to its development of higher horsepower wheels, the use of highly reliable variable speed AC electric motor drives, and state-of-the-art hydraulics as the primary examples improved technology. The 600 HP dual wheel has the most HP ever applied to a wheel of this diameter (94") to deliver the high cutting forces required. Ellicott® believes the monolithic salt deposit in Saudi Arabia involves the hardest digging of any mine in the world using bucketwheel dredges.
Ellicott® was able to complete commissioning after the August invasion of Kuwait even though the mine is close to the Kuwait border.
Highly customized bucketwheel dredge suitable for operations in hard salt deposit under extremely hostile climatic conditions. Better technology reduces unit production costs because of higher dredge uptime.

I particularly enjoy teaching at a local Catholic School, not just because the kids are well behaved and are held to a level of academic rigor that is not often seen, well, anywhere, but because I do get the chance to experience the school day from a different perspective,
Each class starts with a prayer. The group I have been working with most often says a prayer to St. Michael the Arc Angel.
The last day I taught this group all of the classes were 22 minutes long, and I did not have a lesson plan. Because I know what happens when you add a group of students on an irregular schedule with no specific plan to a generous scoop of impending Spring Break. I decided I would introduce the students to some creative writing brainstorming.
I whipped through a quick definition of Watershed moments with examples from world wide catastrophes and instructed them to think about their own Watershed moment and list five specific things about it. I gave a few personal examples, like the fact that I'm still mad at Gonzalo Cervantes for something he said about me when I was in the Seventh Grade. I also illustrated the lesson by speaking about my friend Lamar Wilson
Lamar Wilson and I attended college together, and I didn't know him well. It was a small department at a small school, so we knew of each other and after we graduated I got to know his unique performance style.Over the last year Lamar has fallen on hard times.
I don't mean he got a bummer of a performance review or got a flat tire on the freeway. I mean life knocked him down and then spit on him once he was there. Lamar is definitely too nice of a guy for a fate like that to befall him.
Then Lamar asked his friends for help.
Within hours, several of his friends made contributions to give him a leg back up. This includes me.
Now I'm not much in a position to help many people out, but years ago, when I was in college and going through a dark and difficult time, Lamar said something that I really needed to hear. He said it at a party that I didn't even attend. I'm fairly certain that a lot of people were helped out by Lamar in a similar way.
He paid me a kindness that he didn't have to, so I paid him one right back.
My hopes are that he will get blessings a thousandfold back for those he distributed to the world

Across tasks, differences between the CA and SLI groups were significant, but differences between the MLU and SLI groups were not. These findings suggest that by 5 years of age, children with SLI demonstrate a productive and differentiated plural system. However, unlike the normally developing children, the pluralization skills of the children with SLI were affected by input frequency, with nouns that are frequently pluralized in everyday conversation more readily inflected than ones that are infrequently pluralized. Three explanations within a model of linguistic normalcy are proposed to account for the frequency effect. These include (a) delayed independence of rule use, (b) linguistic vulnerability, and (c) a faulty lexicon.

WASHINGTON — Taking a tough new stance, federal energy regulators said Wednesday that more than 30 private firms manipulated natural gas and electricity prices during the California energy crisis, and moved to increase the state's refund to about $3.3 billion.
In addition, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission threatened to revoke the trading authority of eight subsidiaries of troubled Enron Corp. for allegedly gaming the natural gas market. The commission also said it's prepared to strip the trading authority of Reliant Energy Services Inc., now known as Reliant Resources Inc., and BP Energy Co. for allegedly engaging in "coordinated efforts" to manipulate electricity prices at Palo Verde, a key Arizona trading hub. Both companies denied the charges.
California officials expressed some satisfaction with the FERC decision, but emphasized that the remedy fell far short of the $8.9 billion in refunds sought by a coalition of state agencies and its major utilities, including Pacific Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison.
The commission also stopped short of approving the state's request to renegotiate $20 billion in long-term energy contracts that were signed during the period of feverish prices in 2001.

Vorticity is an inherent feature of fluid flow and has an essential role in the convective heat and mass transfer. The present study aims at determining quantitatively the relationship between the streamwise vorticity flux Ω, and the convective heat transfer, characterized by Nusselt number Nu. Physical vortices are created by using a vorticity generator inserted on the wall of a heated straight channel. It is shown that the streamwise variations of Ω and Nu are related through a power law of the type Nu ≈ α(Ω − C1 )β + C2 .

But anyway, on this CD-R are lots of files. Some of them are just morbidly funny in retrospect: an HTML document entitled "Can You Afford Music Distribution?" (I hope I don't have to explain the pitch-black hilarity there). The first Dutch review of our record shop when it first opened ("Vooral de bakken tweedehands bieden een verrassend allegaartje. Van Beach Boys tot John Zorn en wat daar zoal tussen zit."). But of course the secondhand CDs were great: they were our years-in-the-making combined personal CD collections from America.
And lots of letters we wrote. To each other, to friends back home, to landlords, customers, universities, etc. All of which are being documented on another top-secret blog and have been being so (?) for some time now whenever I happen across them, BUT I SAY ALL THAT TO SAY THIS: one of the documents on this particular CD was a go-to recipe for a simple chocolate cake that the Mara used to make quite often. The recipe itself is quite fucked-up looking, but I put it here so that when I lose this CD-R it continues to live on.
(moments later)
Or: no. It has been redacted just now b/c apparently the results got worse and worse every time she made it which is why she doesn't make it any more. Some recipes are best lost to the sands of time after all, he said in an attempt at general consolation. She said she'd try and rewrite it soon, now that she knows something about baking in Yurp. It was a good cake.
Until such time, now, so I don't have to fking rewrite this gvd post, we'll talk about my surprisingly pleasant lunchtime invention today. Nori is something I don't often love or even especially like, but I'm trying to add more seaweed to my diet. I'm sure there's a Japanese name for something like this which I'd love to be enlightened about. Today's version used beef, but I'm pretty sure canned tuna would work too. Or a tamago-style egg. Maybe you (or "one") could figure out a way to do "mock unagi" with very thinly-sliced tempeh or tofu. I'm going to Gooooogle that now to confirm that my thoughts, impulses, etc are not unique. Voilà.
nori rollup.
1 sheet nori
100g roast beef
couple tbsp smashed avocado
1 good tbsp prepared horseradish and/or significantly less wasabi
1 or 2 tbsp pickled ginger
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 pinch togarashi

The Northumberland Under-21 team beat Durham 6-3 in the Northern Federation match at Hobson.
The morning foursomes were washed out with the three matches given 0.5 point each.
In the afternoon singles Northumberland won convincingly by 41/2-11/2.
Paul Ridden (City of Newcastle) played superb golf to beat Richard Mason (Durham City) by 5 and 4.
Durham's only win was by Craig Hurst (Chester-le-Street) who beat Mark McCarthy (City of Newcastle) by 3 and 2.
Results: (Durham first) Craig Bell (Durham City) halved Simon Lee (Newcastle United), Craig Hurst (Chester-le-Street) beat Mark McCarthy (City of Newcastle) 3 and 2, Richard Mason lost to Philip Ridden (City of Newcastle) 5 and 4, Glen Lowery (Ramside) lost to Alex Hunter 1 up, Andrew Bryle (Brancepeth) lost to Greg Whitfield (Morpeth) 1 up, Gareth Cooper (Brancepeth) lost to Denny Ward (Prudhoe) 2 and 1.
League win
The Hadrian League got the better of Trinity Mirror North-East's Thomson House golfers in their annual match at Newcastle United with a score of 196-189.
John notches scoring feat
It must be every golfer's ambition as he reaches the later years to shoot a score that matches his age - and that's exactly what John Andrew did at Gosforth.
And the bonus was that his 74 also won him the competition because it meant a nett 60.
"I went up to 14 on the Saturday morning but I was back down to 11 by the Monday," said John, who appropriately lives at The Fairway at Brunton Park.
"It didn't quite match the exploits of a friend of mine who once won a bogey competition when he was 82," added John.
He has been playing golf for many years and was off singles figures for a good 20 of those and hails originally from Hull where he was also a keen cricketer.
He added: "I came down steadily over the years but never really won anything so it is rather nice to win when you're 74."
Gosforth date
Next year's English Under-14 Strokeplay Championship will be staged at Gosforth on August 17-18 while the annual Boys Under-16 international with Scotland is also set for the North East and will be at Hartlepool on October 8.

Note: This is the final installment on a report compiled by a panel of experts Gov. Doug Ducey commissioned to investigate four days of violent riots at Arizona State Prison-Kingman in Golden Valley.
KINGMAN - The third riot in four days at Arizona State Prison-Kingman broke out not because someone was let loose on the yard after he reportedly stole inmates' contraband cell phones and illegal drugs, and it was not because a badge-heavy corrections officer went too far in his treatment of inmates.
That's how the first two riots began.
The riot on the Fourth of July occurred because inmates were hungry, thirsty, hot and without access to the prison's phone service.
It's a good thing inmates decided to calm down when they did. There were 96 members of tactical units from throughout the state's prison system who spent hours taking back the prison when, low on munitions, the order had been given to aim birdshot at inmates' legs if they continued to riot.
Hunger and hate
Tensions began to rise that morning during breakfast when there was a shortage of meal sacks.
At the same time, about 700 inmates who destroyed two of five dorms hours earlier were loaded onto buses for transport to another detention facility.
At 11 a.m. inmates in Dorm 5 B Pod refused to return to their beds for count. They eventually complied, but not before advising they had not yet been fed breakfast and were in need of toilet paper. At the same time, inmates in Dorm 3 began threatening officers.
Hualapai Warden Pamala Rider and other key staffers responded to Dorm 3 to speak with inmates. Rider agreed to speak to one inmate from each race and it took several minutes for about 50 agitated inmates to safely make room for the three representatives to exit the dorm.
"You better bring them back or we're taking this place down," inmates reportedly warned Rider.
The three men complained about the heat, lack of cold water, and the time it took to get meals.
They asked if they could get their phones turned on and Rider said yes. They then demanded they be turned on immediately. A major said turning on the system required a process to occur and he would let them know when it was completed.
The inmates' response was filled with expletives, "You turned them off in a second, you can turn them on," according to the report.
When the three inmates were returned to the dorm, those inside began demanding breakfast. When asked if they meant lunch, the inmates advised they not been fed all day.
Investigators noted it was "well after" 1 p.m. The meals had been retrieved from the Cerbat Unit, but staff with private prison operator Management and Training Corporation left them outside, undelivered.
The major attempted to feed the inmates, but every one of them refused, saying the meat was "hot and rotten." The major reportedly inspected the meals and found them "satisfactory for consumption."
The inmates in C and D pods responded with profanities and "prepared themselves in a defensive stance" when asked if they wanted their meals. They had covered their faces and picked up mattresses to use as shields.
The major tried to defuse the situation by offering an alternative meal, an offer that was again met with invectives.
At 1:30 p.m. inmates in A and D pods in Dorm 3 began barricading the windows and doors with mattresses.
They armed themselves with "locks tied to socks, broken brooms and mops and prison-made weapons fashioned from sharpened metal."
The decision was made to plan an assault of the pods to keep inmates from breaching any door or control room.
Pepper spray, flashbangs, sting ball grenades
Eventually, tactically trained personnel from several Arizona prisons began to take back Hualapai Unit.
They used a special baton to break the door window and building windows of Dorm 2. They fogged the pods with pepper spray and threw in pepper balls. Other team members fired pepper spray foggers through the windows to force inmates away from the pod door. A flashbang and sting ball was used to create more space. A flashbang does exactly as its name implies: A flash of bright light and a loud bang disorient people in the affected area. A sting ball sprays a full radius of rubber balls at a high velocity.
Inmates refused orders to get on the ground and some began destroying restrooms and waving their weapons. A member of a tactical unit was ordered to fire his shotgun loaded with rubber rounds stabilized by a fin. The officer fired a total of six rounds into C and D pods. The inmates in C Pod became compliant. Those in D Pod did not.
Other officers armed with shotguns - loaded with steel shot - went to the perimeter when inmates tried to pry open the back doors.
While D Pod inmates in Dorm 2 continued to riot, inmates in Dorm 3 began breaking windows and had already breached the pod doors and had barricaded the front door.
Once again, tactical personnel used foggers, flashbangs, sting balls and pepper spray to assault another dorm. Inmates threw locks and other metal objects at them.
By now, the units were spread over two dorms and munitions were running low. At 2:30 p.m. more help was called for and the Lewis prison was asked to provide additional munitions.
Inmates in Dorm 5 began breaking windows and trying to breach doors. Tactical units attempted a third assault, but a call for 12 gauge rubber rounds was denied. There were no more available. All that was left was birdshot.
Inmates in Dorm 5 made their way into the control room and were forced out by a final barrage of flashbangs, sting balls and gas grenades.
The inmates from Dorm 1 were in the dining hall. They complained of the heat and said they did not want to participate in the riot. TSU members broke windows to bring airflow into the crowded building. It was enough to keep them out of the fight.
Those who rioted gave up at precisely the right moment. The commander of the tactical units advised they would start using steel shot aimed at lower extremities, as there were no more rubber rounds. An ADOC administrator onsite agreed there was a need for those measures.
Fortunately, no steel shot rounds were fired.
After the riots
Four of five dormitories were destroyed. Even afterwards, investigators learned MTC staff remained complacent in providing inmates with basic needs, such as food and water. They spent hours on the yard, in the heat. More than 1,200 of them would eventually be transferred to another prison.
There were widespread reports that members of the tactical squad abused inmates after they surrendered. That topic is not mentioned in the report. In fact, every inmate was given a medical assessment, according to the report.
Investigators were heavily critical of Cerbat Unit Warden Rick Sullivan and Pamala Rider, warden of the Hualapai Unit, both for their reaction to the riots and their management of the prison leading up to the insurrection and afterwards. Complex Administrator Frank Shaw's performance during the riots was also criticized.
The most damning indictment of all, however, was saved for MTC's tactical support unit, which failed to assault the dorms earlier. Investigators said tactical assaults early on could have quelled the riots before inmates gained nearly complete control of the facility.
"The MTC TSU team lacked training, leadership, and confidence," wrote the report's author. "They were poorly equipped. There was not an adequate inventory of munitions on hand. MTC TSU has had training cancelled or members unavailable to attend due to staffing issues."
MTC staff as a whole did not consider providing inmates with water following the riots "an operational urgency," a violation of inmate regulations.
Most disturbing, given the fact that an insidious laxness at the prison led to a serious riot in May of 2010 that was followed by a deadly escape less than two months later, is this comment: "MTC emergency response plans contained no detail on when to evacuate staff or how to address inmate disturbances."
They didn't even know how to call the Mohave County Sheriff's office.

Work to create a dedicated space for people visiting a war memorial in a north Derbyshire village has started.
Clowne Parish Council – in association with Bolsover District Council – has commissioned artist Andrew Tebbs to create an extension to the existing memorial on The Green, Clowne.
The project will create a space for people visiting the war memorial and will include a large artwork together with a new paved area and seating.
The memorial features the names of more than 100 servicemen, who gave their lives during the two world wars.
More than 800 people gather there each year for Remembrance Sunday.
Coun Karl Reid, parish council chairman, said: "There is a danger with the continuing development of Clowne town centre that the memorial is becoming overshadowed by other neighbouring activities.
"With this in mind, the new development of public art is going to create a new enclosed space, which will re-enforce the central importance of the war memorial to the community and help protect its distinctive identity."
Parishioners have been involved in a detailed community consultation to find out what people felt was needed to improve the area and what should be incorporated onto the new artwork.
It will include a new area of paving to the north of the memorial, a stone sculpture within the paving and a curved wall containing panels depicting people who contributed to the war effort.

A breather of two weeks, and we got plenty of #free quality music to talk about.
Let's start with Ben Gomori, the London based House music producer has struck gold with this new remix. Ben tries to mess around(in a rather, subtle way) with Melbourne based FraFraFra's "Work That" joint featuring the vocal talents of BBHolloGramz. The vocal cuts are amazing on this one, right here. Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
Second on our weekend Ninja freebie list is Los Angeles based Electro/Techno producer, who goes by the moniker of BetaTraxx (Nope. He's not related to Bellatrix Lestrange). Considering he's a techno/dance producer, his latest range of remixes have somewhat created a whole new definition to "remixing", to be very honest. Apparently, he just collaborated with DJ Chuckie and the famed "Slash" on Rocktronica. Well, I discovered a couple of genre bender remixes from the dude, which remixes the likes of mainstream kings "Wiz Khalifa" and "The Killers". I am really digging the string samples on the Wiz one.
BetaTraxx was kind enough to liberate both the remixes as a free download via his soundcloud. I've got you covered – as far as the stream and link is concerned, right here.
On the number three, we have got ourselves a bang from the past. For all you cosmic disco fans, I give you a re-edited version to "In Flagrante's "Brash & Vulgar" by Erol Alkan. Erol just enabled the free download access to the .mp3. Grab your copy, ASAP!
Last but not the least, let's end this post with a BANG! The homie "Flume" has done a massive remix to Rustie's "Slasherr" and rolled out as a free download last week. I just can't get enough of this tune. It's a bit of dubstep meets trap and what not. Another genre' bender on our weekend Ninja Freebie list today. A must for Flume fans. Grab your copy, right away!

Why buy traditional sweets online?
Posted on: December 18 2014
In recent years, traditional sweets have made a comeback. Despite all the wacky sweets that are created today, traditional sweets are still the most delicious and are full of nostalgia, always bringing back fond childhood memories.
Sugared Almonds are some of the most popular traditional sweets and come in a range of different pastel colours. They date back to Roman times, where they used to celebrate weddings and births with them. However, in those days, honey was used instead of sugar and it was not until the 15th century in Italy when the modern Sugared Almonds were produced. Nowadays, Sugared Almonds are often given to guests at weddings and different colours are used to celebrate different events, for example green ones are often used to celebrate an engagement. So if you are celebrating a birthday, baptism or special event, Sugared Almonds are just one of the many options of traditional sweets you could choose from.
Many people remember spending their pocket money at the old local sweet shop as a child or being bought sweets such as Sherbet Pips and Cola Cubes as a treat. However, now the experience is not quite the same and online is the best place to buy traditional sweets. Here at Keep It Sweet, we have a huge range of different traditional sweets to choose from, that you can browse without having to leave the house. When ordered, they will arrive in around 1-3 working days of being dispatched, so would make a great last minute gift or we also offer next day delivery, for if you really can't wait for your sugar fix!
Traditional sweets come in a wide variety of unique and obscure flavours, colours and shapes. From the tangy, such as Toxic Waste and Sherbet Fountains, to the sweets that come in every colour of the rainbow, such as Psycho Mice, there is guaranteed to be something for everyone, or why not buy a selection to share with family and friends and reminisce over childhood stories?
So have a look at our huge range of traditional sweets and order online today.

This is the first of several posts on recruiting with Facebook.
Create a group on Facebook. "Federated Media is Hiring" is the perfect example of what I mean. Post your apply info, list your latest jobs, build the group into a marketing tool.
As people join the group you can send broadcast messages to them alerting them to news and new jobs. It's a chance for you to establish relationships with young candidates who are interested in what you have to say.
Think of a Facebook group as an extension of your company career site. Use the same kind of content and consider adding unique content for the Facebook audience (internship opportunities, video, etc.)

Events make perfect sense for Bark & Co.
The company – which is best known for BarkBox, its subscription-based goodie box for dogs – has only one mission: to create products and services that "make dogs happy."
What better way to spread their message than to provide incredible live experiences tailored exclusively for dog-lovers and their pups?
From its annual BarkFest event in Brooklyn, to its Fashion Week-themed "Pup-Up Pawty" in Manhattan, to its BarkHike events in upstate New York, Bark & Co. is an experiential marketing machine.
In just three years, events have helped Bark & Co. generate incredible content and expose new and loyal customers to its growing list of new products and services, like BarkCam (its mobile photo-sharing app dubbed "the Instagram for dogs"), and BarkPost (its robust content site made for dog owners).
The Enterprise package was the perfect solution. Splash and Bark & Co. immediately teamed up on a three-pronged approach:
Splash's proprietary event hub technology allows Bark & Co. to feature all past and upcoming events in one place. The completely white-labeled events site (barklive.com) encourages visitors to check out events in their area, and opt-in to receive "Pupdates" when a new event is added to the calendar.
"Splash is a game-changer for event planners. It's clean, nimble, and easy to use. It helps us design our cool events with total style and run communications super efficiently. The team at Splash clearly understands events in a way that most others in the industry have missed."
As Bark & Co. expanded across the country, it became increasingly difficult for the marketing team to ensure event marketing materials – like the event site & the email invite – was perfectly on-brand.
That's where Splash's Designer Pro tool came in. Working with the Bark & Co. design team, Splash created a robust library of custom event page & email themes that employees can use to create perfectly-branded event pages & email invites in minutes.
Every time someone interacts with a BarkBox event – like opening an email invite or submitting an RSVP – that data is logged into the Splash CRM. As a result, Bark & Co. is able to access a wealth of valuable event-related datapoints – like how many events a person has attended in the past 6 months, or how influential they are on social.
It's a layer of data that helps Bark & Co. better target and reward its most valuable event attendees.
Since moving its events program over to Splash, Bark & Co. has significantly expanded its subscriber-base and has unprecedented visibility into exactly how well their events perform. The data alone has helped the marketing team expand efficiently scale its events program across the country.
Now that's pretty paw-some.

BRASILIA (Reuters) - Support for a presidential run by Brazil Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles is gaining strength within the country's largest party and he could be nominated over President Michel Temer for the October presidential race, party officials said.
Meirelles has until April 7 to decide whether to join Temer's Brazilian Democratic Movement (MDB) party and resign as minister to run for president, a tricky decision because the ruling party could end up picking Temer if his numbers improve.
"Meirelles wants to join our party and we are still studying his request, but we cannot guarantee that he will be the candidate," a senior MDB official said, asking that he not be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
"Meirelles is courting the party and the party is courting him," said an MDB strategist, who also requested anonymity. "The rank and file do not want Temer. His candidacy will not fly."
Both Temer and Meirelles received about 1 percent of voter intentions in a recent Datafolha poll. Still, the ruling party is set on having its own presidential candidate, even if a stronger centrist candidate such as Sao Paulo Governor Geraldo Alckmin of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party defends its platform of market-friendly reforms and fiscal austerity.
With Brazil's most popular politician, leftist former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, likely barred from running due to a corruption conviction, the Oct. 7 election is wide open, with many potential candidates still polling in single digits.
Temer's closest political allies in the Cabinet are the main backers of his nomination, but the growing feeling in the party is that Meirelles would make a better candidate, one of the party sources said.
A rejection rate of more than 70 percent in polls is Temer's biggest problem and is seen as unsurmountable, the person said.
Shouts of "Out with Temer" were common at Carnival parades last month among Brazilians who believe the former vice president backed the impeachment of leftist Dilma Rousseff in 2016 to take over and shield himself from corruption probes.
The president's recent decision to drop an unpopular plan to overhaul Brazil's generous social security system was not able to help his low single-digit approval rating.
Temer, 77, also runs the risk of getting further entangled in an ongoing corruption probe that led a Supreme Court justice to authorize investigators to look into his bank accounts.
Meirelles, 72, a former chairman of BankBoston, has not been snared by the graft scandals consuming Brasilia. The main obstacle to his candidacy is the lack of a party to support him, because his Social Democratic Party (PSD) plans to back Alckmin.
"Meirelles wants to be president. He will leave the PSD for the MDB. He feels it's now or never. He has the health and the energy," said a person with knowledge of his plans.
The finance minister's substantial personal fortune from his years in the private sector may help the case for his candidacy, as new limits on corporate funding for political campaigns have sent parties scrambling for cash.
Meirelles has said he will make his decision at the last minute and would not settle for being vice presidential candidate on someone else's ticket.

What a day I had yesterday! The YPAC Awards were held at a great luncheon. I didn't win Artist of the Year, but Michael Brandt, who did, was very deserving. I'm proud of him and his accomplishments. Honestly, I felt the overwhelming majority of the nominees in each category were very qualified and deserving of the award.
I know it's clichéd, but I was so honored to have been nominated with a number of driven and like-minded spirits. As I was sitting there taking it at all in, I felt both inspired and affirmed. It was amazing to have had the chance to be surrounded by people whose individual and group efforts have helped to shape
into what it currently is and what it is rapidly becoming. Chattanooga
I realize that through the recognition of all of you out there, the opportunity to experience this was availed to me. What more can I say aside from thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hello, I am here again with a new topic 'Structured Settlement Annuity' and today I am going to tell you what Structured Settlement Annuity is. The reason behind choosing this I have choosing this topic is that I have found many people asking about it over the internet, however; it is not related to IT but it is informative. So I did my R&D and decide to share this information you people.
Structured Settlement Annuity is more often a result of legal action which happens between parties where financial award is given to one party by another party as a result court action. Generally it is in the form of payments because a court has stated up so that based on the life span of the person who won this settlement usually from the car accident or some form cause physical injury.
After legal fee are paid whatever balance of the insurance companies settlement will go into annuity and insurance company will then pay the party a payment over time. Sometimes this can be a lump sum payment (large chunk of money given o the individual), however; more often it is monthly income stream designed to replace income that may have been lost as a result of the action, as a result of legal action. This is called a Structured Settlement Annuity.
This was the short introduction about Structured Settlement Annuity. I'll cover it in detail in my upcoming posts.

For centuries, scientific research was conducted by amateurs (people that were not paid to do science) (Vetter, 2011). Professionalization of science, in the late 19th century, drew those amateurs away from the scientific world and created a big gap between "real scientists" (people that are paid to do science) and citizens interested in those subjects (Vetter, 2011).
John Ray, Alfred Russell Wallace, Gregor Mendel are prime examples of amateurs who produced incredible scientific advances. John Ray published important works on botany, zoology, and natural theology and his classification of plants in Historia Plantarum, was an important step towards modern taxonomy (Raven, 1942). Alfred Russel Wallace was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist, and biologist. His best known work was on the theory of evolution through natural selection and his paper on the subject was jointly published with some of Charles Darwin's writings in 1858 (Raby, 2001). Gregor Mendel was a friar who gained posthumous fame as the founder of the modern science of genetics. His pea plant experiments established many of the rules of heredity, now referred to as the laws of Mendelian inheritance (Weiling, 1991). These individuals were largely pursuing research because of an innate interest in particular topics or questions (Vetter, 2011) and were recognized experts in their field, conducting research indistinguishable from today's professional scientists.

726-728 Court Street
Style: Italianate
Description: It is asymmetrical with a brick foundation and wood clapboard siding. The main structure is a two-story square with a hipped roof. To the east is a one-story side gabled wing with a front porch, to the rear a two-story wing. Decorative elements include double brackets in the roof eave, single brackets in the porch eave, patterned pediments over the first story windows, and an off center entry with side lights, transom, and a highly ornamental pediment. This house was briefly shown in Bob Villa's "Restore America" television program.
Significant Period:
Construction Date: circa 1870's
Architect/Builder: Unknown
Context: The James J. Boyce family lived there from 1873 until 1901. In 1873 James Boyce and Jacob Haynes founded the private banking house of J. J. Boyce & Co. James eventually became sole owner. In 1883 the business was reportedly located at the southeast corner of Military and Water streets. James died in 1905. The business was then run under Hubert, then Maurice Boyce until it was dissolved in 1911. James children lived with him long after they reached adulthood. Hubert and John rose from clerks at J.J. Boyce & Company. Arthur was a clerk for the Post Office, then worked for Carson & Boyce real estate. Maurice was a clerk for Patterson & McTaggart. At times a domestic also lived with them. The home was vacant in 1902, then occupied by Frank Murphy in 1904, Edwin Petit in 1906, then was vacant again in 1907. The Joseph P. and Harriet B. Minnie family lived there from 1910 to about 1933. Joseph held a number of jobs over the years: bookkeeper of B I shops, retiree, meter reader Port Huron Gas & Electric Co., and telegraph operator at Grand Trunk railway. The 1923-24 City Directory first listed the house with two addresses, 726 and 728, with Mrs. Carrie E. Petit as the other occupant. She was the widow of Edwin S. Petit, likely the earlier resident in 1906.

You're missing the whole point, look at the history, Cham doesn't let other people drop sh**, still ain't let Fame drop anything, Fame released a mixtape the same time Cham dropped MM3, but you didn't see Cham promote sh**. What did Cham do for Rasaq, nothing, he just kept getting money for himself, that's why Rasaq left to start his own label cause he couldn't do sh** with Cham. And 50/50 knew this and that's why he never signed… and there's nothing wrong with Cham trying to get all the money he can for himself, but if you're gonna have a label and sign people then fu**ing support the people you sign you know… You wanna be all about yourself and tour with just yourself as the only act, not letting Rasaq/Fame do any songs, not inviting Ro, Tony Henry's making his own CD's and own photoshoots for it and selling them on his MySpace, Cham ain't helping him, you just want to drop your mixtapes and albums and nothing else from anybody… again that's all fine and dandy, but then what's the point of having a label and signing people… might as well just be solo right? That's essentially what he is, and appears will always be… Cham is at least part if not most of the problem… HISTORY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF cause like I've said eventually its gotta stop being blamed on everyone else from labels to people, and its gotta be THE COMMON DENOMINATOR.

Title of Play Apple Cart
The title of the play "The Apple Cart" is taken from a well-known English Phrase "to upset the apple cart." A person is said "to upset the apple cart" when he spoils or frustrates some one else's carefully arranged plan.
Upsetting apple carts had ever been one of Shaw's main occupations. In this play he upsets the apple cart of democracy. Side by side, he upsets the apple of royalty also . He exposes the unreality of both democracy and royalty.
There are two references to this phrase in the play. Both of theme occur in Act II. The first reference occurs when the king threatens to abdicate. Nicobar tellr him at that time : you cannot upset the apple cart like this.
The second reference occurs in a remark made by king Magnus. When he is over and the ultimatum is torn into pieces. He addresses Nicobar and observes: So I have not upset the apple cart after all.
The apple cart in the play stands for the huge democratic machinery in England where the government is supposed to be carried on by the parliamentary majority. There is the constitutional King to give his sanction to the actions of the Legislature and the Cabinet. It is the prerogative of the king to veto any act or proposal which is not in the intrest of the nation. Prime minister Joe Proteus and his Cabinet make a plan to deprive the king of his power of veto. They to reduce the king to a mere rubber-stamp. So they present an ultimatum to the king. It lays down three conditions (a) the king should no more make any public speeches. (b) He should not refer to his royal veto in future.
King magnus is too clever for the cabinet . He has an ace of trump in his hand and knows how and when to play it. He upsets the apple cart of the cabinet by threatening to abdicate and by contesting election as a common man. He declares that he will form a part. As a leader of his party he will become the prime Minister and replace Proteus.
Proteus and his cabinet colleagues are taken aback at the king's decision. Proteus feels that his prime ministership is in danger. He takes back the ultimatum from the king and tears it into pieces. He then declares,"There is not going to be any abdication. There is not going to be any general election. There is not going to be any ultimatum we go on as before."
The Apple cart is an apt title. It suggests how the king frustrates the carefully arranged plan of the cabinet to reduce him to a cipher. He upsets their apple cart by his wit, wisdom, intelligence and presence of mind. The Ministers feel confused. Protues withdraws the ultimatum.
Character Sketch Of King Magnus
Magnus is the hero of the play The Apple Cart. Magnus is one of the very few living and perfect characters created by Shaw. He is very witty, clever, humrous and cool-headed. He is tallish, studious looking gentleman of about forty five. He has a very charming and attractive personality.
King Magnus possesses rare tact and political wisdom. He knows how to face a crisis. The biggest crisis comes when his Cabinet Ministers give him an ultimatum that he must not refer to his veto power. He must not make any public speeches. He must not instigate the public the Press against the Ministers. Magnus handles the situation very cleverly and upsets the apple cart of Cabinet. He proves more than a match for his Ministers.
Magnus is extremely clear-headed and sensible. He thinks that modern democracy has miserably failed and that the real power nowadays belongs neither to King nor to Parliament but to rich indusrialists. Similarly he knows that in workaday life a cabbage (Queen Jemima) is more useful than a rose (Orinthia). When the American Ambassador informs him that the United States has decided to merge into the English Empire, Magnus feels worried. He suspects that it is a plan to make England end up as a mere star on the flag of America. In this case he shows a deep...

I was torn by Lucky Chip. To admit that it was the best I have eaten this year would be to strike at the heart of my favourite burger occurrence of 2011, the Meateasy pop up in New Cross. London food-bloggers have been making comparisons between the two for the better part of a year for good reason. Both stand proudly top of the heap in anything you will find in our lovely capital.
Technically Lucky Chip are slightly behind the 'start-with-a-van-do-a-pop-up-make-enough-money-to-buy-a-centrally-based-restaurant' formula (they have the pub pop up and a van at Netil Market on the weekends). The Sebright Arms had a pleasing hum but was tame compared to the highly entertaining hysteria that was Meateasy (though we did go on a Wednesday night). What it lacked in party atmosphere however, it more than made up with in chairs (how nice to be able to pig out in a leisurely, sat down type manner). And we didn't even have to queue for the loo, let alone our table or the bar.
I loved the pub, which was slightly dodgy looking on the outside but (with wood panelling, dark red booths and proper stained glass windows) a gem once through its doors. I also liked the menu - with enough choice to show careful thought, but not so much as to panic you into never making a decision. I was particularly excited when I spotted the Tom Selleck which included my personal favourite guilty pleasure in a bun, pineapple (cheese, bacon, barbeque sauce and, rather blissfully, a beetroot onion ring). My companions tried the Kevin Bacon (cheese and bacon) and one burger of which the name escapes me, but definitely involved blue cheese and jalapenos.
Chilli cheese fries were fine. I prefer Meat Liquor's which are slightly filthier tasting. That being said, chuck some spicy meat and cheese on greasy potato, and I'm not going to complain too loudly.
My 'Tom Selleck' arrived looking pretty damn sexy; a towering mass of juicy meat, oozing cheese, pink bacon, green lettuce and a cheerful slab of charred yellow pineapple, all encased in a shiny golden bun. There was a slight problem fitting it in my mouth, then another trying to keep the whole thing together, but once I'd got my technique down (close eyes, ignore burger juice leakage and pretend no one is looking), I could fully immerse myself in the experience. I'll leave the technique talk and just say that this kind of sauce running down your chin eating is exactly up my street. Plus it just tasted really bloody good.
Like Meat Liquor, Lucky Chip has an excellent central product - patties that are moist, tasty and clearly made from high quality beef. Like Meat Liquor, they are joyfully messy to eat and both play with different topping combos, taking the product to heady gastronomic heights. I could sit here deliberating the equality of their virtues all day (anything to avoid picking sides). However, as the Lucky Chip pop up will continue to exist until (earliest) beginning of April, I'm taking it as an excellent excuse to not only prolong the debate, but to spend the next four weeks eating a lot of burgers. And, of course, reaching a convincing and well researched conclusion.
Lucky Chip @ The Sebright Arms
31-35 Coate Street
