Enhancing Tips by Gilbertville Decorators to Make Any Area Better
We are creative types by nature as well as love to think of, desire and also explore, following our instinct. That stated, there are some harsh concepts that guide us to make certain a wonderful result every time. They are simply tried as well as true things that function. And these typically aren't methods or skills that take years to master.
1. Select the paint color last.
I get phone calls regularly from house owners that want to pick a paint shade prior to they relocate. I get the reasoning. Why not show up to wall surfaces with a fresh coat of paint? Naturally you could do it by doing this, but in my opinion it's not excellent.
There are hundreds of paint shades with various colors, tones and also tones. As well as every one looks different from home to home, since lights differ, indicating exactly what looks great in your present residence could not in your brand-new one.
2. Provide your furnishings some breathing space.
Resist congestion a space. Thoughtful living suggests space to navigate effortlessly. This is really terrific news if you are collaborating with a tight budget plan. You don't have to fill an area with lots of furniture.
3. Hang art work at the right elevation.
Galleries and galleries hang art work so that the midline (facility) of each piece is 57 inches to 60 inches from the flooring. (The ordinary human eye level is 57 inches.) And you need to do the same.
In a room similar to this, where the ceilings soar, there could be a tendency to hang the art higher. But bear in mind: It has to associate with human scale, not the framework's scale.
4. Know how to organize furnishings on a rug.
There are essentially three means you could set up furniture on your carpet.
All on: The carpet is huge enough to position every one of the furniture legs in addition to it. This creates an extra glamorous feeling. For this, bigger is much better. Simply make sure to leave at least 12 to 18 inches of flooring surface area on all 4 sides of the carpet's boundaries.
5. Withstand need to be as well theme-y.
For instance, the Cape Cod look is a very popular request. You understand the trademarks: beadboard, a blue and white nautical combination, some sailing boat paintings.
6. Develop a prime focus.
There are leading roles and also supporting actors members in any type of manufacturing. The same is true in style. Pick your celebrity as well as make it the prime focus to secure an area. Permit various other products to take a second function. Don't ask everything to have a leading duty; it will certainly simply lead to aesthetic noise.
Your centerpiece might be a remarkable hood in the kitchen area, a mantel and also art piece in the living-room or a headboard in the room. Whatever it is, choose something that will certainly attract focus.
7. Consider view lines.
Your focal point should be complimentary and clear from one area to the following, to ensure that it seems like you're being drawn between them. That's why the most effective place for a prime focus is typically straight throughout from the entrance to the area.
8. Modify your antiques.
Don't hang on to an item that simply does not fit. I uncommitted if your great-aunt Sally gave it to you. If it's not working for you, then locate a new residence for it (possibly in a different area).
9. Differ the scale.
What looks good in the store may appear like an elephant in the space when you bring it home. Or it's too small to be of any kind of significance. Constantly differ range and also proportion.
The large-scale sunburst mirror frame fills up the wall area perfectly right here, while the sand dollars make a fascinating grouping listed below. They would be a lot too unimportant independently. 3s and also fives create more pleasing setups than also numbers.
10. Include layers of lighting.
In this kitchen seatsing area, the backsplash is lit, the art work is highlighted as well as the closet insides are filled with light. One central lights fixture would certainly not have had virtually the same dramatic outcome.
Professionals develop layers of lighting to develop interest, intrigue and variety. In an area where every little thing is lit evenly, absolutely nothing attracts attention. Pick a prime focus as well as maybe a secondary focal point and highlight those.
11. Be bold.
Individuality is exactly what makes a room fantastic. Make your own statement and also enjoy. The even more you attempt, the a lot more you will certainly begin to see what works and just what does not.
Incorporate unforeseen components for drama. The unconventional ottoman seats, library-style shelfs as well as big chandelier here are all unforeseen in a traditional living-room, however the outcome has personal appeal.
12. Ignore all principles for creative thinking.
Having some guidelines offers individuals an excellent starting factor for equipping and embellishing their residence, even if several of them aren't functional for a particular space.
Opt for something personal that makes you grin and, most importantly, is comfortable. Extremely made rooms don't truly equate in contemporary life. A cushion collection as well as an art setup that are apparently careless, as shown here, create a dressed-down appearance with plenty of style.
Pick your celebrity as well as make it the focal factor to anchor a room. Your focal point needs to be free and also clear from one room to the next, so that it really feels like you're being drawn between them. That's why the finest place for a focal point is typically directly throughout from the entry to the area.
If it's not working for you, then locate a brand-new home for it (maybe in a various space).
What looks good in the shop may look like an elephant in the space when you bring it house.

There's this family that lived in a modest home on the edge of New Bern, Michigan. John Edwards, the father, owned a downtown store. His wife, Mary, was a traditional homemaker. They had two kids; Betty Jo, nine and Annie, getting on five. Mary's mother, Ruth, also lived in the small, neat bungalow.
Nice family. God fearing. Loving. No debts to speak of. Mary and Ruth planted a vegetable garden every spring, made a big deal of attending the local 4th of July parade, went to church regularly, heated the house from the main room fireplace during the cold parts of winter.
We're talking average, decent Americans here.
One day at school a classmate of Betty Jo's said she knew how to make babies but she wouldn't tell Betty Jo because the whole thing was so outlandish to her, so hard to believe, that she thought an adult needed to do it. They had together in recent years gone through the tragic outing of the real Santa Clause.
So Betty Jo went to her grandmother when she got in from school that day and asked her how babies were made. Ruth, the grandmother, thought that question should be answered by Betty Jo's mother and said as much.
Betty Jo found her mother on the porch shelling peas. "Mother," she asked, "how do you make babies?"
Mary Edwards, a very shy person, was absolutely flabbergasted by the question, especially the way her daughter phrased it. She wasn't prepared, couldn't even think of the words to get started, so she just sat there, the pot of half shelled peas on her knees, looking up at her daughter.
"If you don't tell me, Mother, I'm going next door and ask Jimmy Peterson. He knows everything. He'll tell me."
Mary Edwards was forced to say something. She launched forward blindly with lullaby verses and phrases that she had read in the bible and Reader's Digest. She stuttered often and would stop and look off in the distance.
As awkward and confusing as it was, Betty Jo grasped the general concept.
Within a week however she was reading a paperback romance novel that described a love tryst where, in a short but descriptive paragraph, the heroine, among other things, kissed the hero on his child maker. Well more than just kissed.
Betty Jo read it once, twice and a third time. She had no frame of reference. The visual picture she conjured made no sense. Was unconnected to anything her mother had said about this kind of thing.
So Betty Jo took the book to her grandmother and read the paragraph. "What does this mean, Nana?"
Grandmother Ruth, from the old school, had no idea, so she sent Betty Jo to her mother again.
Mary Edwards was even more embarrassed this time. She flushed and again was speechless. She knew she had botched the birds and bees explanation and was clueless how to handle this.
Betty Joe was determined to understand. "Do you ever do this to Daddy?" she asked.
"Well," Mary Edwards was sweating, "Once or twice. Not often really. Rarely."
Then there was silence.
Betty Jo left and went back to her grandmother. "It's OK. Mother does it to Daddy, sometimes."
And, thereafter until her death… Grandmother Ruth washed and kept her own silverware.

Cristiano Ronaldo has reached another milestone in his career after netting his 30th La Liga goal. The Real Madrid star became the fastest player to reach such feat.
This happened when he scored the first goal in Saturday's La Liga win against Getafe. The goal came before half time in the match and many knew the achievement the Portuguese has reached.
The 33-year-old Portuguese star became the fastest to score 30th goals but just the second player to ever score 300 La Liga goals after Barcelona's Lionel Messi. It took Ronaldo 286 games to reach the landmark while it took Messi 334 games, a massive 48 games difference.
Messi scored his 300th La Liga goal last February against Sporting Gijon. The duo holds possibly all records in world football and are only breaking each other's record at this point in time.
Ronaldo added another goal on the day to make it 301 goals as he helped his Real Madrid side to a 3-1 win over Getafe. There are discrepancies as regards a particular goal which Real Madrid claim had made Ronaldo reach 300 goals last week.
This goal was scored in 2010 after his free kick was deflected home by Pepe against Real SocieSociedad. This has always generated rancour but the officials credit the goal for Pepe but Madrid do count it as Ronaldo's goal. Whichever way Ronaldo has reached another milestone after this match.
Despite a very poor start to the season, Ronaldo has picked up himself to hit the ground with his goals. With just two goals in the early part of the season, he has now increased the pace of his goals which has took his league tally to 16 in 21 games now, all thanks to his recent form. His season tally now at 30 goals in 32 club outing.
Ronaldo holds the record of Real Madrid all time highest goal scorer with 436 goals from 426 appearances for the Los Blancos. It might be difficult for Ronaldo to match Messi's current 372 La Liga goals from 408 games as both are still currently playing and Messi is still younger and might probably play longer in the league.
The next highest goals scorer in La Liga after Messi and Ronaldo is Talmo Zaha with 251 goals in 277 games.

– "The Barbarous Relic" – Now in a Bull Market!
by Victor Sperandeo with the Curmudgeon
Full Disclosure:
Both authors of this post are gold investors:
· The Curmudgeon has owned gold coins and bullion since 1980. He's owned precious metal mutual funds, ETFs and individual mining stocks since 1981. However, one very large gold bullion position was stopped out on October 31, 2015 (end of month hedge fund liquidation) after spot gold closed below $1080/ounce. That position has not been replaced yet.
· Victor has been a gold investor going back to the 1990's and added to his position along the way. He also bought Silver at $15.50 several months ago and does not intend to sell it for years.
All opinions expressed herein are those of Victor Sperandeo unless otherwise noted.
In a book titled A Tract on Monetary Reform1 written in 1924, famous economist John Maynard Keynes wrote:
"In truth, the gold standard is already a barbarous relic. All of us, from the Governor of the Bank of England downwards, are now primarily interested in preserving the stability of business, prices and employment, and are not likely, when the choice is forced on us, deliberately to sacrifice these to outworn dogma, which had its value once, of 3 pounds, 17 shillings, 10 1/2 pence per ounce. Advocates of the ancient standard do not observe how remote it now is from the spirit and the requirements of the age."
Keynes remarks about gold were restricted to the "gold standard," which limited government spending and printing fiat paper money. It was not about gold or the metal's value. Keynes never said a negative word about gold that Victor or the Curmudgeon could find. Gold, like all assets, goes up and down for fundamental (and sometimes technical) reasons that cause an imbalance in supply and demand.
Note 1. This is the book in which Keynes most famously quipped that "in the long run we are all dead" and where he called the gold standard "a barbarous relic" as noted in the above quote.
We've previously covered the Drivers for Gold Price Movements, which we update in this post along with other important factors which impact the price of gold (and silver).
Precious Metals Overview:
Gold is primarily money (or a "store of value") as 90% of its production is hoarded. It's also thought of as a commodity as it has industrial uses. the yellow metal conducts electricity and does not tarnish. Those qualities make it the metal of choice for a wide variety of industries. You can view a stunning slide show on the Many Uses of Gold here.
Silver is approximately 60% an industrial commodity and 40% money. This ratio changes over time and is just a rule of thumb.
One of the primary determinations of demand for precious metals is the U.S. dollar, as it has a great influence on all commodities priced in dollars. Hence, gold and the dollar are inversely correlated.
Gold's History over the Last 5 Years:
Let's briefly recap gold's price history from its cyclical peak in September 2011 along with the dollar and related commodities.
The Dollar Index Futures (DXY) made a long term low on 5/6/11. Virtually all commodity indexes made a high five days earlier on 4/29/11. The Diversified Trend Index2 (DTI) - a long/short commodity index Victor created - also made an all-time high on 4/29/11.
Note 2. Readers can track the DTI daily via the Wisdom Tree WDTI ETF.
Gold continued to rally for several more months after commodities peaked and the dollar made its intermediate term low. On Sept. 6, 2011, gold reached an all-time high of $1921.50. The yellow metal then started a multi-year decline which ended late last year.
The February 2016 Gold futures contract (which had the largest "open interest" in December 2015) made a closing low on 12/2/15 at $1054.50. Meanwhile, the March Dollar Futures contract made a closing high on 100.24 on 11/30/15. In retrospect, those dates marked a major trend change for both gold and the dollar.
Fast forward to this Friday 4/29/16, when June Gold futures (again, we quote the futures contract with the most open interest) closed at a new intermediate high of $1290.7 (+22.4%). That same day, the June Dollar Index futures closed at a new intermediate low of 93.054.
Technically, gold is now in a bull market. It is above its 200 day moving average (MA), which is SLOPING UPWARDS. Also, gold closed above its last intermediate high in October 2015. Please refer to this chart of June 2016 gold futures:
Conversely (and as expected with inverse correlation to gold), the U.S. dollar is now in a bear market. It recently made new intermediate lows and is below its 200-day MA, which is sloping downwards.
In addition, virtually all gold and silver mining stocks, ETFs and precious metals mutual funds have rallied stupendously this year (some up over 80%) and by any standard would be considered in very strong up trends.
In an April 29th note to subscribers, the staff at Dow Theory Letters wrote:
"With most of the metals embarking on new bull markets we now officially recommend increasing your metals holding to 20% of your total portfolio by buying more gold, silver and platinum and/or their ETFs, which are GLD, SLV and PPLT."
The China Factor:
As we've noted in previous posts, China is a very important factor effecting the gold price. China continues to buy huge quantities of iron ore, copper, oil and gold. According to the Wall Street Journal (on line WSJ subscription required),
"China now buys about an eighth of the world's oil, a quarter of its gold, almost a third of its cotton and up to half of all the major base metals. Its buying power has made the country integral to global commodities trading."
Note: Please refer to "Shanghai Gold Benchmark Price – New Kid on the Block" which claims the Chinese gold auction methodology is far more transparent that its London, UK counterpart.
China is buying gold bullion and taking delivery, for nationalist reasons and also for investment. They want to have the Yuan partially backed by gold in order for it to become the next world currency (replacing the U.S. dollar).
Also, China spent a tremendous amount on building its infrastructure to get the country back on track to increasing GDP growth which had been on a downward trajectory for the last year.
China's gold buying and infrastructure build up helped all metals to trade at new intermediate highs (except copper, but it's very close). The DJ Commodity Index is +14.64% (page B6 WSJ April 29) year to date. With Crude Oil at new intermediate highs, the CPI will increase year over year. However, with economic growth decreasing or stagnant, a 1970s style stagflation repeat is possible. That's all good for commodities and gold.
Fed Rate Hikes on Hold:
2016 is an election year which has been accompanied by very weak economic growth (GDP for the last two quarters was +1.4% and +0.5%). Many experts believe actual GDP is worse than reported as detailed in last Thursday's Curmudgeon post. As a result, the Fed is not likely to raise short term interest rates through the rest of this year, and surely not in June. Here's why:
The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for June 14th and 15th, while the UK's Brexit referendum vote is on June 23rd. The Fed has mentioned that referendum is a huge risk to the global economy if the UK votes to leave the European Union (EU). Mid-June is also when the Democrats and Republicans prepare in earnest for their conventions in July, which culminate with the choice of a Presidential candidate for their respective political parties.
Therefore, if the Fed raised rates in June and the market tanks, they would surely be blamed. It might also result in Congress taking away the Feds "official independence" or pass a bill that would finally audit the Fed [please refer to "The Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2015 (H.R. 24)"].
Question for readers: Do you really believe the Fed is independent? Many don't!
Goldman Sachs believes there will be three Fed rate increases this year.
"We continue to expect that the strengthening of the U.S. labor market will force the Fed to hike rates three times this year, which will lead to a stronger dollar and a gradual increase in U.S. real rates, pushing gold down," Goldman analysts said in a note to clients.
Moreover, Goldman Sachs' head of commodities, Jeff Currie told CNBC in an April 5th interview: "Short gold! Sell gold!"
The Curmudgeon and I believe Goldman is very wrong here. Indeed, on Friday April 29th ZeroHedge reported that Goldman Sachs was stopped out of its "Short Gold" recommendation.
Brexit Fallout:
If Brexit happens, the damage done will be unknown and gold (as a hedge against uncertainty) should do quite well. Personally, I believe a UK exit would mark the end of the European Union. At a recent dinner in NYC, with 31 all-star money/hedge managers, and myself this was the greatest concern expressed.
The IMF listed Britain's June 23rd referendum on EU membership as a key risk, along with instability in China and other emerging markets, volatile share prices and a loss of long-term growth potential in developed economies.
"The planned June UK referendum … has already created uncertainty for investors," the IMF's chief economist, Maurice Obstfeld, wrote in the IMF published half-yearly assessment of the world economy.
Gold Manipulation Subsides:
Gold is also bullish because the manipulation of precious metals downwards is apparently ending, at least in the near term. Please refer to: Deutsche Bank Admits It Rigged Gold Prices, Agrees to Expose Other Manipulators, reported by ZeroHedge for details. This revelation comes after the Sub-prime real estate and Libor fixing scandals.
Banks and other financial institutions will have to clean up their act fast, and will likely stay away from manipulating markets. They have now admitted to pushing gold/silver prices lower no matter what the situation called for. That caused confusion and disenchantment amongst gold investors.
-->Gold being real money, and thereby the avowed enemy of banks and financial institutions, should now begin to trade on its own supply/demand factors without downward price manipulation and/or intervention. That should be good for gold.
Rinse and Repeat - Central Banks Have Run Out of Bullets:
Lastly, global central banks have run out of schemes to combat further economic weakness. They have failed dismally to restore meaningful economic growth after the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In fact, extreme monetary policy accommodation (including negative interest rates in many countries/regions) has not been enough to reinvigorate the world economy.
Japan's BoJ left rates unchanged at its last meeting on April 28th, rather than proceed further into NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy) or extend their already massive QE program. That lack of further monetary easing caused the Yen to rally 4.3% in two days and the Nikkei to decline -4.8%. Japanese equity buyers are showing their lack of confidence that the BoJ (and central banks in general) can alone provide what has been a highly elusive return to robust economic growth.
The entire world seems to be in turmoil, yet the public is sold (by the likes of Janet Yellen) that things are OK and getting better. Most of the public looks to politicians to solve their problems, or as they put it "get something done." Yet all they really get are false promises which give the politicians more power over people's liberty.
These are indeed interesting times, and they scream -own gold! Suki Cooper, analyst at Standard Chartered, provided a few reasons:
"A dovish Fed, weaker dollar, falling US Treasuries coupled with the absence of additional stimulus from the Bank of Japan has spurred investor safe haven interest in gold, taking prices to levels last seen in January 2015."
Let's end with this somewhat scary quote on manipulation of the masses (the public or "we the people") from an Austrian-born American publicist, sometimes called "the father of public relations:"
"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
― Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda (originally published in 1928)
Good luck and till next time...

Project Details
Borderless worked with the It's not OK team to create a series of compelling and powerful videos about the danger signs of domestic violence. The purpose of the project is to increase New Zealanders' understanding around control so that they know the danger signs, realise when a situation is serious, feel confident to take action and know where to go for help. The long term goal is for all New Zealanders to recognise the danger signs and take action - safely - to prevent serious harm or death in a family violence situation.

A few nights ago I went upstairs for a few minutes leaving the Army Man and Laura downstairs. After just a moment, I heard a sound that is heard in our home at many times daily: crying. This time was different though. On the Crying Threat Level scale I would rate it as "High" but that was only because I was an entire floor away from the crying and couldn't tell if there was any thrashing involved. I'm sure there was. So this crying-I'm talking full on screaming and shouting and crying. I couldn't figure out what the heck could be going on. I was there not a minute ago and all was well. They were sitting on the couch together. What could have transpired?
What happened was this: a tiny little hangnail caught Laura's attention. She showed it to the Army Man. He looked at it and felt his fatherly duties involved somehow removing the offending nail. So he decided to just rip it off. Rip it off of my extremely dramatic and sensitive daughter's finger. The crying began before the ripping even started, that's how dramatic Laura is. The moment she broke free from the Army Man she came barreling upstairs screaming and crying, waving the evidence in front of me with nary an intelligible word to be heard. She was so distraught that she actually ran from bedroom to bedroom screaming and crying. For added effect perhaps? Searching for a safe place to hide from further finger injury? Maybe looking for some weapon of torture to use on the Army Man? I didn't even get the full story until the Army Man came upstairs to sheepishly explain that he hadn't thought it would hurt her so much.
I know he meant well. And I know I'm lucky to have the Army Man as my husband when most Dads would just tell their daughter to go see Mommy for an issue like that. I just hope he learns his lesson and next time gets out the clippers sitting in my bathroom for just such an occasion.

Platform scenes, comprising a variety of formal events, such as donatives and speeches, are among the most sought-after of all reverse types. Typically they are ornate, can be tied to specific historical events, and often the physiognomic features of Imperial personages can be divined. In this case we have a truly historical type depicting the donative that accompanied the promotion of Geta from Caesar to Augustus. Though the coin was struck in Rome, the investiture took place in Britain, presumably at the frontier city of York, which the Severans made their base of operations for the campaign against the Caledonians. In truth it was not necessary for Severus to lead the campaign personally, but he did so to get his quarrelling sons, who accompanied him, out of Rome. The ageing emperor hoped that the experience might help bring perspective to matters and inspire a new harmony between his sons, but his hopes were in vain. Severus died at York early in February, 211 after having made no headway on the matter. This scene of a donative to the army is especially relevant to this late period of Severus' life considering his parting wisdom to his sons was: "Agree with each other, give money to the soldiers, and scorn all other men."

I have a lovely Barbie pink polish to share with you this Pink Wednesday. I had Mod Squad on my wish list for a while and finally ordered it online from Ulta when I had a coupon. It's from Essie's Spring 2007 collection based on what I was able to find.
Mod Squad is such a beautiful pink, but the formula isn't the greatest. It's a runny, slightly thick crelly that did not apply very evenly. I experienced a lot of balding. I don't know if I got a bad bottle because I didn't notice this complaint anywhere else. I had to take extra care with this polish and wait between coats. I had to use three coats for full opacity. I used Orly Nail Defense as my base and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat.

Isn't this a really pretty and girly pink?! I really do like it, just not the formula. I plan to keep it around though.
What do you guys think of Mod Squad? Is it in your stash?

Iran reaped dual reward during their qualifying campaign for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™. Carlos Queiroz's side successfully booked their return to the world football extravaganza having missed out on the last edition at South Africa 2010 and, in addition, two fresh gems were unearthed during their campaign.
Ashkan Dejagah and Reza Ghoochannejhad, both European-based, emerged as two of the tournament's brightest revelations. Despite joining Team Melli only last year, the pair have quickly established their place among Queiroz's starting line-up. Dejagah was the first to shine, completing a brace in his international debut as Iran drew 2-2 against Qatar. Ghoochannejhad, for his part, came as the team's savior in the closing stages as Iran revived their fortunes.
Queiroz first started the pair in a home fixture against Korea Republic, during which Ghoochannejhad debuted and Iran won. But Dejagah underwent knee surgery this April and was thus ruled out of the remainder of the campaign.
"It was a pity that he (Dejagah) couldn't be with us during the last three games," Ghoochannejhad told FIFA.com after scoring the match-winner against Korea Republic in Seoul in the concluder which sealed progression to Brazil 2014. "Ashkan is a great player who can help the team in next year's World Cup. He's fast, got great crossing ability and is really difficult to defend against. Above all, he's a nice person to hang out and work with. I can't wait to play together with him again."
Dejagah, who joined English Premiership side Fulham from VfL Wolfsburg last season, also expressed his hunger to return. "I miss my team-mates and coach Queiroz," he said. "Playing in front of the Iranian fans is so wonderful. I became so desperate after finding out I was unavailable for our last three qualifying matches."
Continental reunion
Last month's AFC Asian Cup qualifier provided the duo with a chance to re-unite. With Ghoochannejhad remaining the lone striker in Queiroz's 4-2-3-1 formation, Dejagah returned to his right-winger role providing the attacking spark. Both players started and excelled, with Ghoochannejhad scoring the match winner as Iran edged Thailand 2-1 at home to move two points clear in their group.
The duo were on target as Iran routed the same opponents 3-0 in the return meeting. It was match during which Dejagah stole the show, though. The 27-year-old midfielder was a constant menace and broke the deadlock on 28 minutes with a superb strike. The Standard Liege-based Ghoochannejhad doubled the lead just before the break by sublimely lobbing the goalkeeper, before Alireza Jahanbakhsh put a seal to the victory with a stoppage-time strike.
The two players continued their prolific form a week later in Beirut, each scoring as Iran demolished the hosts 4-1 to book their place at the continental finals at Australia 2015 with a game to spare. Results aside, even more significant were the team's improved finishing abilities - something which had left Iran's FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign in jeopardy.
Even when Iran sealed their qualification for Brazil 2014, with a pulsating 1-0 defeat of Korea Republic in Seoul, there was concern amid excitement among the supporters, with the consensus that Team Melli must enhance their firepower. After all, Queiroz's side finished as the lowest goal-scorers among Asia's four qualified teams, with just eight goals netted in as many games.
With Ghoochannejhad and Dejagah now contributing in attack, though, Iran have returned to their old selves as a formidable power - a promising sign heading into next year's global showpiece in Brazil.
"I am very happy with my team-mates," Ghoochannejhad said. "Everybody likes to work and support their team-mate in and outside the pitch. I haven't though thought about our World Cup prospects but we are really confident about this team."
---After Iran struggled in front of goal throughout much of their FIFA World Cup™ campaign Ashkan Dejagah and Reza Ghoochannejhad came to the rescue, and Team Melli will be relying on the European-based duo at Brazil 2014.---

PSE found at fault for Greenwood explosion
Can we trust them near 18 miles of jet fuel pipelines?
PSE was found to be at fault for the explosion in the Greenwood neighborhood last spring. The Utilities and Transportation Commission determined that PSE's lack of professional oversight of the gas line led to the explosion. Yet PSE has plans to dig large holes for new power poles within feet of an aging jet fuel pipeline through the heart of the Eastside. Can we trust them?

A three-year plan to make Philadelphia's streets safer includes proposals that touch on virtually every aspect of road travel around Philadelphia.
"It's really about integrating this into the way we do business," said Kelley Yemen, the city's director of complete streets.
The Vision Zero Draft Three-Year Action Plan is the first product of a task force assembled by Mayor Kenney in November to review how the city can improve road safety. Its recommendation include expanding existing initiatives such as a network of protected bike lanes; adding more red light cameras; and addressing old complaints, such as enforcement against illegal sidewalk closures and blocking bike lanes.
The report also recommends changes in the way the city manages its roads. Among them is a proposal that City Council give the city traffic engineer authority to change road signs and lanes to make them safer. There's also an emphasis on data collection, such as a database combining police crash data with hospital trauma information, and a review of new developments to learn how they affect traffic safety.
Vision Zero, a city-planning philosophy that originated in Sweden, proposes that virtually all traffic-related injuries or deaths are caused by human error that can be planned for and prevented through a combination of design, education, and enforcement. Kenney aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths by 2030. Details on which streets will be affected will come as the city meets with residents in the spring and develops a technical report. A final draft is due in September.
About 100 people a year die in Philadelphia traffic crashes. Philadelphia had six fatalities per 100,000 people, according to the 2015 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data. That's more than New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Each day, four children in Philadelphia are involved in traffic crashes. And a disproportionate number of crashes happen in neighborhoods where the majority of residents live below the poverty line.
In City Council, Cindy Bass welcomed the report's findings. In her Eighth District, two schools, Roosevelt School and Wissahickon Charter School, both on Washington Lane, have problems with speed restrictions, crosswalks, and a lack of traffic guards.
"People just don't slow down and seem to have respect for the traffic signals around schools," she said.
The report included recommendations for more attention to people who park in school zones and dropoff lanes, and red light cameras on school bus stop-sign arms. Other enforcement recommendations include focusing on obstructed bike lanes and illegally closed sidewalks.
City officials emphasized that education and design were more effective than penalties. Philadelphia will soon install two bicycle signals that will grant right of way to bicyclists, and the feedback from that and other initiatives will determine whether they'll be more widely applied, Yemen said.
Another proposal is an intersection traffic light system that gives pedestrians and cyclists a chance to walk before turning cars get a green light.
"It's one of those cheap, easy things that can really change the complexion of an intersection," she said.
City money dedicated to Vision Zero projects is spread through multiple departments, but major investments are $1 million for Vision Zero safety measures in the Streets Department's $23 million 2018 capital budget, and $500,000 to the Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems from Philadelphia's operating budget, said city spokesman Mike Dunn.
The report includes as goals seeking money to upgrade existing bike lanes, and preparing to redesign routes with high-injury rates in order to apply for grants. The city has about $550,000 in grant money to install 25 miles of protected bike lanes, but few of those lanes will appear this year because of when the city receives the money, Yemen said.
Vision Zero has its critics. One, John Baxter, of Downingtown, a member of the National Motorists Association, applauded the report's emphasis on redesigning roads, but said he worried that another priority, slowing cars, would unnecessarily hinder motorists, the majority of whom, he said, did not drive dangerously. He said focusing on speed ignored the role that pedestrians play in causing crashes.
"Jaywalking is not human error, it's just stupidity," he said. "There needs to be more respect for drivers."
The report issued Tuesday highlights that the likelihood of death in a traffic crash increases substantially the faster a vehicle is traveling. One of the city's goals is to slow down traffic.
Bob Previdi, policy coordinator for the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, which has been leading the effort to embrace Vision Zero in Philadelphia, said the report highlights the right priorities.
"The impacts of this should be directed into the neighborhoods," he said. "The neighborhood piece is vitally important here."

"Dealing with contamination may be 30 to 40 times more costly than preventing it in the first place."-U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended in 1989, requires each state to develop and implement wellhead protection programs. The State of Florida has the ultimate authority and responsibility for ground water protection. However, Florida Administrative Code, Section 62-521 defers the management of wellhead protection programs to local governments.
The basic regulatory framework of the City's Wellhead Protection Program (WHPP) was established in Title X, Chapter 366, Part 4 of the City Ordinance Code. The Program's primary focus is to reduce the risk of ground water contamination within the immediate vicinity of public drinking water supply wells. To accomplish this goal, a specific geographic area, known as a wellhead protection area (WHPA), has been defined around community and non-transient, non-community public potable water wells covered by the Wellhead Protection Ordinance. Within these areas a Pathway Focused Approach to Wellhead Protection is being implemented. The Pathway Focused Approach is primarily concerned with the mapping and inspection of Private Wells and existing contamination sites within WHPAs. The Wellhead Protection Program is designed to determine if a Risk of Contamination to the Floridan Aquifer exists due to the presence of a faulty private well in proximity to a groundwater contamination source.
Special provisions shall also be applied to all Floridan Aquifer wells within wellhead protection areas. Wells which penetrate the Floridan Aquifer (250-feet deep or greater) present a potential conduit for the introduction of contaminants directly into the aquifer. Therefore, Floridan Aquifer wells shall be required to have an approved backflow prevention device. Additionally these wells must be fitted with a 5-foot square concrete well pad.

Democrats Aim to Turn Obamacare Into Asset From Burden in 2018
(Bloomberg) -- Andy Kim decided to run against House Republican Tom MacArthur last year as he watched TV coverage of GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare while waiting in a hospital room for news on his unborn son.
Kim was sparked by MacArthur's amendment that would have let insurers charge more for patients with pre-existing conditions and his central role in helping the repeal pass the House. An ultrasound had just shown that Kim's son was dramatically underweight, and he wondered "if my baby boy is going to have a problem for the rest of his life."
"What I promised myself and my family that day was I was going to do everything I humanly can to hold Tom MacArthur for what he just did," said Kim, a Democrat who's challenging the New Jersey Republican in the November election.
The attempt to repeal Obamacare ultimately failed after getting stalled in the Senate. But the effort to scuttle the 2010 law inspired dozens of Democrats like Kim who have put the Affordable Care Act at the center of their campaigns and are using personal experiences to illustrate how a repeal would have hurt them.
Election Losses
The decision by Democrats to take the offensive on health care marks a switch in tactics from 2010, when the party lost 64 seats and the House majority after passing the Affordable Care Act. To climb back they need to gain a net 23 seats to win back House control and the power to block key elements of President Donald Trump's agenda and any further attempts to roll back the law.
House Democrats named Kim, a former Obama administration national security aide, to their "Red to Blue" program for top tier candidates in Republican-held districts. His campaign reported raising $1.1 million through March 31. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted its rating of the race between MacArthur and Kim on Friday from "likely Republican" to "lean Republican," slightly less in MacArthur's favor.
The failed GOP repeal attempt gave Democrats a chance to promote popular aspects of the law -- including its ban on jacking up rates for patients with pre-existing medical conditions. After years of attacks by Republicans, Obamacare gained majority public approval in a Gallup poll for the first time in April 2017. A Gallup poll last month found that the cost and availability of health care is Americans' top issue for the fifth year in a row.
MacArthur's amendment would have let states seek waivers to let insurers charge higher premiums for those with existing conditions and drop some benefits designated as "essential" under Obamacare, including maternity care.
Chris Russell, a campaign strategist for MacArthur, said his amendment "sought to make coverage of pre-existing conditions sacrosanct for all Americans and ensure essential health benefits remained the federal standard." It wouldn't allow denial of coverage for a pre-existing condition, Russell said in a statement.
Higher Premiums
But critics said it would have made premiums too expensive for people with health problems.
"I know exactly what happens when people lose their access to health care or health insurance," said Kim Schrier, a pediatrician and one of five Democrats running to replace Republican Dave Reichert, who is retiring from his House district in central Washington state.
"I have my own pre-existing condition -- type 1 diabetes," Schrier said. "If I didn't have insurance through my company, I would be in that same situation."
While repeated GOP efforts to repeal Obamacare have failed, Congress did vote in December to end a key component starting in 2019 -- the requirement that almost all Americans obtain insurance or pay a penalty.
Premiums for 2019 are expected to be announced in October, just before voters head to the polls. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office forecasts a 10 percent increase for people who buy insurance on the individual market.
The individual market makes up just 7 percent of how Americans got their health care in 2016, compared to 49 percent of Americans with employer-sponsored coverage and 35 percent with Medicare or Medicaid. But the Affordable Care Act still drives the politics of health care.
Bipartisan Plan Fails
A bipartisan Senate proposal to stabilize the Obamacare marketplace, sponsored by Republican Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Democrat Patty Murray of Washington, failed in March over language restricting abortion funding.
Representative Ryan Costello, a Pennsylvania Republican who backed the Alexander-Murray plan and opposed the 2017 Obamacare repeal, said he believes voters will pay more attention to what Republicans are doing now.
"It's going to be much more on what are you doing, or how do you propose to lower costs, not how did you vote on a bill that never became law," said Costello, who isn't seeking re-election.
But Democrats plan to make the argument to voters that Republicans should be held responsible for insurance costs because they control both chambers of Congress and the White House.
'Incredible Contrast'
John Lapp, a Democratic strategist and former executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, said, "There's an incredible contrast with Republicans, who either their answer is to take away your health care, or do nothing and allow the health-care market to skyrocket."
Priorities USA, a Democratic super-political action committee, cautioned party members in a memo last month not to lose track of the key issues that animate voters: the economy and health care.
While Trump's policies are "raising the cost of health care and driving up insurance premiums," he gained ground on how the public viewed his handling of health care: from a 30-percentage-point net unfavorable rating to 12-point net unfavorable, said the memo prepared by the Hart Research Group and Global Strategy Group.
Medicare For All
National Republicans say Democrats are still responsible for health-care costs because they enacted Obamacare.
"Democrats are responsible for Obamacare and they've done nothing as it's destroyed our health care system," said Jesse Hunt, a spokesman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, the House GOP campaign organization. "Their only answer now moving forward is to try to push a government-controlled, single-payer health care system that'll total $32 trillion."
Such proposals have gained traction among Democrats. The House version of Senator Bernie Sanders's legislation to create a "Medicare for all" national health-care system has 122 Democratic co-sponsors. Liberal groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Democracy for America and Justice Democrats have endorsed more than three dozen Democrats running on nationalized, universal health care in Republican-held districts.
But the biggest shift for the party may be Democrats' willingness to defend Obamacare in competitive, Republican-held districts. Illinois GOP Representative Randy Hultgren's Democratic opponent, Lauren Underwood, is a nurse and former Department of Health and Human Services official who helped implement the health-care law during the Obama administration. Underwood beat six Democratic opponents in the state's March 20 primary.
"While the Affordable Care Act is not perfect -- I don't think anybody is asserting that it is -- American families have seen the benefits of having coverage options that are affordable," Underwood said. "It touches everybody and they don't want to see it go away."

Investors pour P4.7B in Lapu-lapu City, Mactan Cebu
LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines - About P4.7 billion was invested by 15 real estate companies to develop hotels, resorts and subdivisions in Lapu-Lapu City as of the first quarter of 2008.
City Administrator Teodulo Ybañez said Lapu-Lapu projects a business-friendly environment with competitive business taxes, licenses and fees, which are lower than its neighboring cities – Cebu and Mandaue.
Filinvest is developing the P25-million Seascape Subdivision in Barangay (village) Mactan and Aldea Del Sol Subdivision in Barangay Maribago.
The Robinsons Land is developing the P533-million phase 1 of the integrated resort and condominium, Amisa, while investment for the Blue Coast Residences is pegged at P12 million.
Both development projects are located in Barangay Punta Engaño.
Clavall Properties, the developer of Shangri-La Mactan Island Resort and Spa, will expand the resort with an estimated cost of P1.3 billion.
Other developments include Gaisano Grand Mall of Mactan in barangay Basak (P134 million), Microtel Hotel in barangay Punta Engaño (P65 million) and Mactan Oceantown Information Technology Park and Commercial Complex in Barangay Maribago (P57 million).
Lapu-Lapu City ranked second among 21 cities in the country, where entrepreneurs can easily start a business.
Ybañez said they have not increased business taxes from 1992 to 2007 despite being proclaimed as a highly urbanized city last year.
It was only recently that the City Council approved an ordinance which proposed a two to five percent increase in business taxes, according to city treasurer Elenita Catag-Catag.
But she said that the increase is only applicable to companies with gross sales and receipts of P2 million.
Michael Dignos of the City Attorney's Office said these investments bring Lapu-Lapu City closer to becoming an international gateway for business and tourism by 2020 as indicated in the Mactan Island Integrated Development Plan.
Dignos said the results of the survey — Doing Business in the Philippines — indicate that Lapu-Lapu City continues to attract investments from big companies, which directly deal with the local government.
The survey was conducted by the International Finance Corp., the private arm of the World Bank, and the Asian Institute of Management Policy Center.
"The survey was undertaken without the knowledge of the city government. It was done with stakeholders," Dignos said.
Ybañez said the study's results were proof of the government's good transaction records with businessmen.
He said the survey presents "objective findings as opposed to subjective, unfair findings we have encountered a few months back."
"It serves as an inspiration to do better because the survey provides us with knowledge on where we failed so that we can improve it. It also points out best practices of other cities which we can emulate," he said.

Callum Wilson described his contentious equaliser as "a touch of magic" after Bournemouth rescued a thrilling 3-3 draw against West Ham.
The Cherries led 2-1 at Vitality Stadium before Marko Arnautovic struck in the 81st and 89th minute to seemingly secure a dramatic win for the visitors.
But in the third minute of stoppage time, Wilson converted Nathan Ake's header across goal amid suspicions of handball and offside.
Referee Bobby Madley held a lengthy discussion with his assistant before awarding the goal, leaving Wilson relieved that the call went his way.
"Sometimes you get those decisions against you," he said. "I tried to go in as a striker and follow the ball in and put a little touch on it to our delight but not to West Ham's."
When asked what "touch" it was that proved decisive, a laughing Wilson responded: "Magic. It was eventful.
"It seems to be the way against West Ham. It is disappointing not to take three points as we played well until the slip.
There's the whistle! The points are shared after a dramatic ending…#BOUWHU | #afcb pic.twitter.com/nKi74phbSD
— AFC Bournemouth (@afcbournemouth) 26 December 2017
"It was hard to go one down after seven minutes, but we have shown character to get back in the game at 2-1."
Eddie Howe added: "It is a total mix of emotions as I felt it was ours at 2-1.
"I am not quite sure if they thought it was offside, but I am very happy to see it given. The longer the referee and the linesman talked I thought it would not be given, but it is no more than we deserved."
Howe's opposite number David Moyes, meanwhile, was at a loss to explain why Madley would overrule his colleague.
"I don't know why he would not go with his linesman's decision," he said.
"The offside could be close, the linesman gives it as an offside goal but the worst thing is the Bournemouth player puts it in with the top of his arm so it should be ruled out for that.
"For both decisions to be ruled out is disappointing."

I came over from Allan's blog to say way to go on the food photo project. I love eggs and veggies together.
Hope you and yours have a great day!
I popped in from Allan's blog to say hi! Also doing the photo challenge :) I think eggs are my absolute favorite breakfast! Love them with veggies!ReplyDelete
Hey guys thanks for dropping by. Yeah - I do love scrambled eggs !ReplyDelete
Hi! Following you. I think eggs are one of the best things in my diet. Per calorie, they make me more satisfied than almost any other food. I eat them (usually without or less yolks) every day.ReplyDelete

Tiny Township is well known for its beaches: Balm, Bluewater, Cawaja, and Wahnekewaning to name just a few. It is located on the peninsula that separates Severn Sound and Nottawasaga Bay at the south end of Georgian Bay, with a coastline of some 70 kilometres. Tiny is home to Awenda Provincial Park on Georgian Bay at the north end, and the Tiny Marsh Provincial Wildlife Area, source of the Wye River, in the south.
To the east is Tay Township which includes the towns of Port McNicholl, Victoria Harbour, and Waubushene. This can be a less expensive area in which to find a waterfront, but still enjoy beautiful views across the Bay.
Midland and Penetanguishene provide the area shopping, banks, theatres, hospital, etc. Midland has the Cultural Centre and Penetanguishene has the King's Wharf Theatre. Both provide a variety of top notch entertainment. There is also a Cineplex in Midland.
North of Midland is the small town of Lafontaine, host of the annual Festival du Loup, a festival of francophone music and culture, which celebrates the death of a wolf that terrorised the village in the 19th century.
Throughout the area are many wonderful marinas. The waters are filled by picturesque sail and power boats wending their way to overnight anchorages at nearby islands, or through the 30,000 islands on their way to the famed North Channel.

A tool that I developed to teach my oil painting students how to efficiently mix colors through using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and White. It is the best method I know to train the color sense of budding artists. To begin, pick any two color paints that you wish to use and find them on the diagram; draw a straight line connecting them; the colors crossed by that line are the results from mixing those paints together in varying amounts. To learn additional ways to use this tool, I invite you to visit me, Lee Su d'Avalonia, on Facebook and ask me for a personal explanation of this useful tool. Happy learning!

CoreDoc is the creative brainchild of four former colleagues with many years of individual and combined experience in the IT industry.
After having worked in international IT companies, Oil companies and Shipping companies in positions of management, procurement and sales we were all surprised to find that even these multinational companies lacked something as simple and essential as functional Asset Management.
We all shared the same perception: The market for asset management software is crowded with high end solutions, which are very expensive and hard to implement. The lack of overview and ease of use makes it hard for employees to understand the systems and consequently adopt them.
And an idea began to form that there might be a market out there for a product.
We saw a need for a simple tool that would easily allow us to keep track of asset inventory, staff availability, licenses, incident tickets, documents, contracts and clients. None of the asset management systems we came across in our daily work offered these features in a simple user friendly manner. And the integration between different modules - let's not even go there.
So we decided to develop our own.
Taking two years to develop our original concept and update it to the current needs of the IT world, we put together a tool that does all the things each of us saw a need for in our workplaces. The result is the CoreDoc suite of modules - and we would be lying if we didn't say that we are very pleased with the result. We hope that you will be, too.

I really want to see Ayer's Rock before we come home, so it could still be another month or so, but we might be home in time for our birthdays so get your credit cards ready for buying presants.

Yes, you have to see the rock before you come back. It would be like going to NYC and not seeing the Statue of Liberty.

I though any game discussions should include a Fallout topic !
I have been playing quite a bit of Fallout 4 !
Any Fallout 4 players out there ?
How do you like the DLC so far ?May 2, 2016 at 20:26 #48520
I tough the DLC where interesting but not worth the price
they charged: Still waiting for the big DLC they were talking about !September 10, 2016 at 19:11 #48564
With the Vault-Tec Workshop DLC, Far Harbour and Nuka World added to the other DLC. You get your money's worth with the season pass. The latest DLC, Nuka World is great fun !September 23, 2016 at 19:32 #48568
Here is my review of Fallout 4 Nuka World:
When, I first starting playing this DLC, I found out that I was going to have to live the raider life. I wasn't too happy about this because this goes against all the main character stands for. But once I found there was a way to opt out (talk to the medic in the Nuka-Town Market), I played both options. Living the Raider live was weird at first but after a while I got into it. I order to create raider settlements in the commonwealth, I had to go against some of the settlements I created. Most of them being heavily fortified with a high defense rating. While creating raider settlements, I would still get request to help the other settlements I created before being a raider: that didn't make much sense! I loved playing the other option (the opt-out option) that gave me the chance to wipe out the raider gangs (make a save so you can go back and play the other option).
While doing the Beverageer achievement, i couldn't find the Nuka-Xtreme recipy book: it wasn't on the table where it was supposed to be (another Bethesda glich ! ) Had to replay the DLC from the start, using an old save, to get that achievement: fortunately that time the book was there! On your first playthrough get that book as soon as possible.
All in All, i found this DLC to be great fun ! Taking all the DLC's into account, i had my money's worth with the season pass.December 24, 2016 at 18:57 #48573
Got tired of Fallout 4 after 1 year of playing… Bought Forza Horizon 3 and Gears 4 and played for a while. Started playing Fallout 3 again: what a great game !April 20, 2017 at 19:04 #48635
Replayed Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas: great games. Currently playing Fallout Shelter on XBOX ONE: got all the achievements except one.

DNS Propagation
What is DNS propagation?
To make viewing the web faster for their customers, ISPs (Internet Service Provider) cache all of their DNS records. This caching process is called Propagation.
Caching means that the ISPs read and display websites from their local files instead of looking them up on the Internet each time their customers want to view a website. This is similar, on a massive scale, to the way the browser on your computer caches websites to speed up browsing.
Propagation ultimately speeds up web surfing by:
1. speeding up the return time it takes for a web browser to request a domain look-up and get an answer
2. reducing the amount of traffic on the web therefore giving it the ability to work faster.
Why does propagation take so long?
The reason it takes so long for your website to be visible to everyone once you launch it, is that each ISP has an automated process that updates and caches DNS records every few days. Until their cache is reset, it will not display your launched website. There is not any kind of standard for this process, and they can set propagation time anywhere from a few hours up to 72 hour for full propagation.
Can you speed the process up?
Unfortunately, no. There is nothing that you, no one can reduce DNS propagation time. It is simply a case of waiting for this automated process to complete.
