FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Tom Brady walked into his weekly news conference and glanced at the unusually large media crowd.
"Packed house," he said with a smile. "Big game."
It's about time.
On Monday night, the New England Patriots face the Houston Texans, their toughest opponent in a season in which they've rolled over mediocre teams. They're 9-3 with seven wins against teams with losing records.
The Texans (11-1) are a different animal.
"They're a great football team," Brady said Wednesday, "so any time you play the best, you want to see how you match up."
The Patriots did rout the Indianapolis Colts 59-24 on Nov. 18. And the Colts are 8-4 with a chance to gain a wild-card berth, although they must play the Texans in two of their last three games. The Patriots also beat the Denver Broncos (9-3) in the fifth game of the year, 31-21.
But, overall, they're just 2-2 against teams with winning records.
So, this game is ultra-significant — a Monday night national audience, the top team in the AFC and a need to avoid falling three games out of the conference lead — to a franchise that takes pride in first-round byes and home games in the postseason.
"This is a big game for us, a game where we're able to make up some ground that we lost early in the season," linebacker Jerod Mayo said. "It's hard to win any game in the NFL. I would be lying if I said we weren't pumped for the game. But, at the same time, we're approaching this like any other."
They know it does no good to put pressure on themselves by attaching extra importance to the game.
"Every week is different in the game of football," safety Steve Gregory said. "You see upsets, you see things like that. So, in order to win a football game in the NFL, you have to bring your 'A' game every week."
Buffalo and Miami are just 5-7, but were both competitive in their most recent games against the Patriots. New England held on for a 37-31 win over the Bills with a last-minute interception in the end zone by Devin McCourty Nov. 11. And last week, the Patriots squeezed past the Dolphins, 23-16, despite gaining their fewest yards of the season.
And don't forget: The Patriots even lost to Arizona, 20-18, in the season's second game. The scuffling Cardinals (4-8) have lost their last eight games.
But coach Bill Belichick doesn't worry much about an opponent's record. Even when it's 11-1.
"We know Houston is a good team," he said. "Whatever their record is, if it was 12-0, 11-1, 9-3, whatever, we know they're a good team. It doesn't really matter what happened against some other team they might have played, whether they won or lost. It's how we match up against them this week and how we do against them.
"We play good players, good coaches, good teams every week. These guys, they've had a great season. I can see why their record is what it is."
The Texans have a well-balanced offense with quarterback Matt Schaub, running back Arian Foster and wide receiver Andre Johnson. Defensive end J.J. Watt is second in the league with 15 1/2 sacks. At 6-feet-5, he has a knack for batting down passes, as well.
"Coach Belichick likes to bring guys with racquetball paddles and stick those up in the air," Brady said, as the Patriots prepare for Watt and Co. "I'm sure there will be a whole bunch of those there this week, which doesn't always make me very happy, but that's probably a good way to prepare for it."
Those paddles may not be all Belichick will bring out.
"Maybe brooms, get it a little longer," the coach said. "(They) knock down a lot of balls. It's not just knocked-down balls, it's tipped balls for interceptions and everything else. They're a very disruptive front.
"They're tough to handle."
If the Patriots can overcome that, and win, they'll be one game closer to becoming the AFC's top seed. They had that label last season as well, and landed in the Super Bowl.
"You always want to play against the best," cornerback Aqib Talib said. "We get to play one of the best teams in the AFC, so I'm looking forward to it."

Infographic: Indoor Tanning in Missouri
Can preteen kids tan indoors? The surprising answer in Missouri is most often "yes," found a new study that surveyed indoor tanning facilities in the state (study; media release). This infographic highlights that and other disturbing findings that paint an unattractive picture in one of 17 states nationwide that don't regulate the practice of indoor tanning.

Anise 'Florida Sunshine' for the Woodland Garden
Earlier this week I planted Illicium parviflorum 'Florida Sunshine' in the woodland garden. It is a relatively rare form of anise with chartreuse gold foliage, and the leave color intensifies in the fall to provide the ultimate glow in the garden.
Anise is a dependable broadleaf evergreen shrub. Upright to pyramidal in shape, 'Florida Sunshine' should grow 6 to 8 feet tall by 4 to 6 feet wide. Its golden leaves distinguish it from other types of anise. The foliage is gorgeous throughout the year, but it especially shines on dreary winter days. 'Florida Sunshine' is also characterized by red stems that contrast with the yellow foliage. The glossy, fragrant leaves smell of licorice when crushed. I can smell my 'Florida Sunshine' at least ten feet away without crushing the leaves. The fragrance is fabulous!
The plant is tolerant of a wide variety of soil conditions, but it will grow best in moist soils. It likes filtered sun to shade. I was impressed when I saw it at the nursery. Unprotected through the winter, it withstood subfreezing temperatures with no problems and was already putting out new leaves. In fact, it is hardy in zones 6-9, tolerating temperatures down to -5 degrees fahrenheit.
Illicium parviflorum is native to the Deep South, most often found in moist areas of the Florida panhandle and southern Georgia. The species can grow into a small tree up to 20 feet tall. Suckers sometimes appear around the base of mature plants, which may be dug for new plants, and it is also easily rooted from cuttings. It has small yellow flowers that may go unnoticed.
Florida anise, Illicium floridanum, is also a native and is cousin to the gold-leaf anise. This species will grow in hardiness zones 7-10 and likes well drained, moist acid soil. It has leathery dark green leaves and will grow to about 10 to 15 feet tall by 6 to 10 feet wide. In spring it produces maroon, 2 inch flowers with strap-like petals. There are smaller cultivars, and there are some cultivars with white flowers. 'Shady lady' is a cultivar with variegated foliage and pink flowers. All anise shrubs have wonderfully fragrant leaves.
Both Illicium parvifolum and I. floridanum are toxic if ingested, despite the delightful aroma of their leaves. Illicium verum, or star-anise, is a non-native from China and Vietnam that is used as a culinary spice.
Whichever one is chosen, an anise shrub is a great addition to the garden. I am very excited about my 'Florida Sunshine'. It truly brings a gleam of sunlight to my shady woodland.

Have you ever id'd a 23 year old woman
thinking she was a 12 year old boy?
did you read the article
in the guardian today about the man woman? That made me feel very strange.
why would anyone?
to write about the experience in a feminist framework and sell a fuck load of books.
Having been cynical, I wouldn't mind trying it just to see if I could pass myself off.
Yeh...a while ago
not sure why im bring it up...was a bit embarrasing...was for an Alex parks gig. Because, you know, if the singer is a lesbian...only lesbians can like it...did you know that?
I thought her article
was very frank and it was an interesting viewpoint.
I thought that I connected with it in very 'human' terms, it was because she did not carry an agenda with her that it makes it easier for everyone straight male/lesbian woman/straight woman to relate to what she said.
I give her max kudos for that. A valuable and honest thoughtful insight from a position that most of us will not have.....far far better than the sensationalist shallow 'swap' programs that have been on the telly recently.
obviously from a personal
point of view....but that is what makes it honest and trustworthy...its not the whole truth, but it is certainly part of it

Holland America Line Receives Sixth Consecutive Green Gateway Award from Port of Seattle for Environmental Stewardship
Line also captures Technology Innovator award from Port of Seattle
Seattle, Wash., April 22, 2015 — The Port of Seattle presented Holland America Line with its sixth consecutive Green Gateway Award. The Port of Seattle also presented Seattle's hometown cruise line with the Technology Innovator award.
The Port of Seattle presents the Green Gateway Awards annually to cruise and commercial lines that call at the port and whose environmental efforts are deemed worthy of recognition.
"Holland America Line's commitment to the environment is something we're very proud of, and to be recognized for the sixth year by the Port of Seattle with a Green Gateway Award is a testament to our dedication and focus," said Orlando Ashford, Holland America Line's president. "We are continuously seeking more ways to be an environmental steward and responsibly sail the world's oceans. We are honored to earn these accolades in our hometown."
Holland America Line also received the Technology Innovator award for investing in its Seattle-based fleet that has resulted in year-over-year reductions in fuel use and resultant greenhouse gases. Port of Seattle also cited the cruise line's installation of IPCO Power Fuel Treatment systems that are designed to enhance combustion, lower emissions, improve fuel economy, extend engine overhaul intervals and lower overall operating costs.
In previous years Holland America Line received the Green Gateway Award for its use of shore power, comprehensive practices to reduce emissions and its commitment to protecting the environment.
Holland America Line also was named the 2014 Marine Environmental Business of the Year by the Port of Seattle and the Seattle Propeller Club. The company was honored for its efforts to shrink its global environmental footprint through a series of objectives that reduce consumption of fuel and water, engine emissions and generation of solid waste.
A Long Partnership
Holland America Line ships have been sailing from the Port of Seattle since the 1970s. In May 2002, Holland America Line began using Seattle as a home port for Alaska cruises. This year the company has three ships based in Seattle sailing 50 Alaska cruises from May through September.
Seattle, the Green Gateway
Seattle offers the lowest carbon footprint for cargo shipped by sea from Asia to major markets in the Midwest and East Coast, making it the "Green Gateway" for trade. That designation was determined by the "Carbon Footprint Study of the Asia to North America Intermodal Trade" conducted by Herbert Engineering Corp., which looked at CO2 emissions of intermodal shipments from Asia to North American markets.
Holland America Line's Environmental Achievements and Accolades
Holland America Line's ships meet or exceed all provisions of the international regulations governing the environmental management of marine operations. But the company aims for superior environmental performance while operating responsibly via a practices to reduce pollution through strong policies, effective procedures, innovative technology, best practices and consistent training of employees.
Holland America Line is among the pioneers in the maritime industry in investing in technology to reduce engine emissions while a ship is at berth. Six of the 15 Holland America Line ships — ms Amsterdam, ms Veendam, ms Noordam, ms Zuiderdam, ms Oosterdam and ms Westerdam — use shore power at the ports of Seattle, San Diego, Halifax and Vancouver.
In addition to the Green Gateway Award, the company also received the 2014 Blue Circle Award from Port Metro Vancouver for the fifth consecutive year and the 2012 Rear Admiral William M. Benkert Environmental Protection Award from the U.S. Coast Guard for its commitment to the environment. Holland America Line was named among the 2016 World's Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute for the fifth consecutive year for its commitment to high ethical standards.

The most infamous, brutal incident of the 1967 Detroit riot, the Algiers Motel killings, is going to be the topic of this long-anticipated film by Oscar-winning director Kathryn Bigelow. A trailer released Wednesday morning revealed the story of the movie, that has been shrouded in relative secrecy up to now. The film is going to be labeled only "Detroit." From the trailer, as pictures of fires and U.S. military guys going into the city's roads hurry , an off screen voice states, "it is a war zone out there. On a bus, a group of young African-American men see what's happening.
What happens next is a flash of chaotic images, but it seems that the sound of a starter pistol being fired within the motel draws the eye of law enforcement officers, who spray the motel with gunfire. Then they enter the rooms and the young individuals are made to kneel and face the wall. What happened at the Algiers Motel is now synonymous with the systemic racism which helped spark the devastating violence in the city. Forty-three people died in the violence that erupted in the summer of 1967, many of them killed by police.
The now-gone motel was where Detroit police, state troopers, national guard and a private security guard went to check out reports of sniping. By the time they were through, three young black men were killed, allegedly execution-style by being shot at close selection. Three white policemen were charged in the events linked to their deaths. There was a years-long legal procedure of motions, appeals and delays, but nobody was convicted. The trailer utilizes onscreen text to say the movie is "based on the true story of one of the most terrifying events in American history."
The poster for the movie also was released Wednesday. It spells Detroit in large, red block letters that run vertically over an image of a police line facing off against Detroiters. It bears the exact same tag line as the trailer: "It's time we knew". "Detroit" spent about three days in Detroit and Hamtramck in October 2016 filming scenes for the movie. Footage also was shot in the town of Mason, near Lansing. Most of the work was done in Massachusetts, which includes a picture incentives program.

Remakes of Speedball 2 and The Chaos Engine, two legendary games from British super-developer The Bitmap Brothers, are planned for release on PC next year - although details are scarce on enhancements or changes that will be made to the classic old-school romps.
Speedball 2 was a top-down sports game, inspired by 1975 flick Rollerball, that emphasised violent tackles over sportsmanship and gave you a metal ball to hurl around the courts - or into other men's faces.
The Chaos Engine was a superb blast-fest featuring such iconic characters as The Gentleman and The Preacher, and eventually graced Nintendo's SNES and Sega's Mega Drive in the mid-'90s.
Screens and details are thin on the ground (as in, non-existent) right now but we're feverishly imagining how next-gen PC hardware can soup-up the already triple-A gameplay boasted by both classic titles. We'll be keeping our eyes on the news horizon for updates, so stay with GamesRadar for the latest info.

Half Marathon?! Yep, you read that right. After lots of thought, I've decided to step down to the half marathon. No worries though, I am very happy with my decision, and here's why… If you read this post, then you would know I was super excited to be returning to Richmond to run my 3rd Richmond Marathon.

One Week until the Richmond Half Marathon!

I realised this morning I have nothing left to stress about. What on earth am I going to do now? I can't remember how one acts when one is sane and composed and dare I say… happy?? Well, I'm sure I'll muddle through. Life's bound to go pear shaped sooner or later.
So September's come and gone. That happened. I passed my Life in the UK test, I went to Italy to check out real estate, I survived going to London to (attempt to) take photos for a friend's wedding and got back just in time to post off my UK residency papers. Stress, stress and more stressssssss. I also had two job interviews in there somewhere. One I didn't get because I don't have Edinburgh experience in answering a phone, writing down what the person tells me is broken and organising someone to repair it – but he thought I was terrific and if he had time to train me on answering the phone, writing down what the person says and organising the repair person, I would have been a shoe-in.
Oh hey, wait a minute, there is something to stress about – I'll be unemployed again in three weeks. See, told you. Oh, that feels better.
Anyhoo, being stress free today reminded me of the time I went to Zurich for a week with work in 2011. If you've never been, and for me coming from London (where I lived then), the absolute calm of Zurich is friggin' eerie. No, it's pungent. It gets up your nose and makes you screw up your face and think "what the hell is that?"
On the plus side, my stomach miraculously behaved itself the entire week. Having to sit in a deathly quiet office with three senior managers is normally enough to have it perform an aria of gurgling and suspect eruptions, brought on just from the fear of that deathly quiet, never mind what I chose to put in my mouth that day. But to my utter amazement, not a peep. It was the first time I started to see a link between my gut, my head, and how much a city can affect your stress levels.
But anyhoo, I digress. Here's a little 'diary' I wrote while there. I dug this out because I'm lazy, I mean busy, and I haven't written anything on my poor blog for so long. Millions and bazillions of readers are bound to be wondering if I'm alive, or if I've discovered God and moved to the Amazon to spread his word to some unknown jungle tribe. Actually I did discover God and I am spreading his word – on Twitter.
Just for some background, the reason I was sent to Zurich was to gather space management statistics for a week, to help them configure the floor plan of a new office being built next door. In other words, I walked into every office and counted empty desks twice a day, then wrote the numbers down. Obviously such lowly grunt work was beyond the three senior managers whose office I wrote these figures down in, so the most cost effective solution was to fly someone from London to do it, put them up in the Marriott for a week and pay for their meals. That, by the way, is most certainly not a complaint. Continue reading

|Classification and external resources
|Patient UK
Mucositis is the painful inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the digestive tract, usually as an adverse effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for cancer.[1] Mucositis can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, but oral mucositis refers to the particular inflammation and ulceration that occurs in the mouth. Oral mucositis is a common and often debilitating complication of cancer treatment.[2]
Oral and gastrointestinal (GI) mucositis affects almost all patients undergoing high-dose chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), 80% of patients with malignancies of the head and neck receiving radiotherapy, and a wide range of patients receiving chemotherapy. Alimentary tract mucositis increases mortality and morbidity and contributes to rising health care costs.[3]
For most cancer treatment, about 5-15% of patients get mucositis. However, with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), up to 40% get mucositis, and 10-15% get grade 3-4 oral mucositis.[4] Irinotecan is associated with severe GI mucositis in over 20% of patients. 75-85% of bone marrow transplantation recipients experience mucositis, of which oral mucositis is the most common and most debilitating, especially when melphalan is used. In grade 3 oral mucositis, the patient is unable to eat solid food, and in grade 4, the patient is unable to consume liquids as well.[5]
Radiotherapy to the head and neck or to the pelvis or abdomen is associated with Grade 3 and Grade 4 oral or GI mucositis, respectively, often exceeding 50% of patients. Among patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy, pain and decreased oral function may persist long after the conclusion of therapy. Fractionated radiation dosage increases the risk of mucositis to > 70% of patients in most trials. Oral mucositis is particularly profound and prolonged among HSCT recipients who receive total-body irradiation.[6]
Signs and symptoms
Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy usually become symptomatic four to five days after beginning treatment, reaching a peak at around day 10, and then slowly improving over the course of a few weeks. Mucositis associated with radiotherapy usually appears at the end of the second week of treatment and may last for six to eight weeks.
As a result of cell death in reaction to chemo- or radio-therapy, the mucosal lining of the mouth becomes thin, may slough off and then become red, inflamed and ulcerated. The ulcers may become covered by a yellowish white fibrin clot called a pseudomembrane. Peripheral erythema is usually present. Ulcers may range from 0.5 cm to greater than 4 cm. Oral mucositis can be severely painful. The degree of pain is usually related to the extent of the tissue damage. Pain is often described as a burning sensation accompanied by reddening. Due to pain, the patient may experience trouble speaking, eating, or even opening the mouth.
Dysgeusia, or an alteration in taste perception, is common, especially for those who are receiving concomitant radiation therapy to the neck and mouth area. "Taste blindness," or an altered sense of taste, is a temporary condition that occurs because of effects on taste buds that are mostly located in the tongue. Sometimes, only partial recovery of taste occurs. Common complaints are of food tasting too sweet or too bitter or of a continuous metallic taste.
The pathophysiology of mucositis can be divided into its 5 stages; including an initiation phase, a message generation phase, a signaling and amplification phase, an ulceration phase, and a healing phase. Different cytokines are responsible for the various stages. The initiation phase is caused by the production of free radicals caused by the chemo- or radio- therapy, which damages cell DNA. This causes the production of cell transcription factors such as NF-κB, which upregulates inflammatory cytokines, marking the beginning of the ulceration phase. Main inflammatory cytokines involved are IL-1 and TNF-alpha. During the healing phase, epithelial cells are attracted to the site of the ulcer and begin the re-epithelialization of the ulcers.
Diagnosis is based on the symptoms the patient is experiencing and the appearance of the tissues of the mouth following chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants or radiotherapy. Red burn-like sores or ulcers throughout the mouth is enough to diagnose mucositis.
The severity of oral mucositis can be evaluated using several different assessment tools. Two of the most commonly used are the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Toxicity score[7] and the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) for Oral Mucositis.[8] While the NCI system has separate scores for appearance (erythema and ulceration) and function (pain and ability to eat solids, liquids, or nothing by mouth), the WHO score combines both elements into a single score that grades the severity of the condition from 0 (no oral mucositis) to 4 (swallowing not possible such that patient needs supplementary nutrition). Another scale developed in 1999, the Oral Mucositis Assessment Scale (OMAS) has been shown to be highly reproducible between observers, responsive over time, and accurate in recording symptoms associated with mucositis. The OMAS provides an objective assessment of oral mucositis based on assessment of the appearance and extent of redness and ulceration in various areas of the mouth.[9]

Treatment of mucositis is mainly supportive. Oral hygiene is the mainstay of treatment; patients are encouraged to clean their mouth every four hours and at bedtime, more often if the mucositis becomes worse. Water-soluble jellies can be used to lubricate the mouth. Salt mouthwash can soothe the pain and keep food particles clear so as to avoid infection. Patients are also encouraged to drink plenty of liquids, at least three liters a day, and avoid alcohol. Citrus fruits, alcohol, and foods that are hot are all known to aggravate mucositis lesions. Medicinal mouthwashes may be used such as Chlorhexidine gluconate and viscous Lidocaine for relief of pain. Palifermin is a human KGF (keratinocyte growth factor) that has shown to enhance epithelial cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Experimental therapies have been reported, including the use of cytokines and other modifiers of inflammation (e.g., IL-1, IL-11, TGF-beta3), amino acid supplementation (e.g., glutamine), vitamins, colony-stimulating factors, cryotherapy, and laser therapy. Symptomatic relief of the pain of oral mucositis may be provided by barrier protection agents such as concentrated oral gel products (e.g. Gelclair). Caphosol is a mouth rinse which has been shown to prevent and treat oral mucositis caused by radiation and high dose chemotherapy. MuGard is a FDA-cleared mucoadhesive oral protectant, developed by Access Pharmaceuticals, Inc., that is designed to form a protective hydrogel coating over the oral mucosa while a patient is undergoing chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy cancer treatments to the head and neck.[10] Additionally, the efficacy of MuGard for the prevention or treatment of mucositis has been tested by a prospective, randomized clinical trial in which 43% of head and neck cancer patients using MuGard prophylactically never got oral mucositis. NeutraSal is an FDA-cleared calcium phosphate mouth rinse which has been shown in an open-label, observational registry trial to prevent and reduce the severity of oral mucositis caused by radiation and high dose chemotherapy. In the trial, 56% of the radiotherapy patients reported 0 (WHO score) or no mucositis, which is significantly lower than historical rates. The Mayo Clinic has been testing the antidepressant doxepin in a mouthwash to help treat symptoms.
In 2011, the FDA cleared episil® oral liquid for the management and relief of pain of oral lesions with various etiologies, including oral mucositis/stomatitis which may be caused by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The transformative mechanism of action of episil® creates a lipid membrane that mechanically bonds to the oral cavity mucosa to coat and soothe inflammation and ulcerations, and blanket painful lesions.[11] In a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, single-dose study involving 38 head and neck cancer patients with oral mucositis (WHO grades 2-3) undergoing radiation therapy, episil® clinically demonstrated fast-acting relief that lasted up to 8 hours.[12][13] episil® oral liquid is marketed in the US by Cangene Corporation.
In a 2012 randomized controlled pilot study involving pediatric patients, topical application of honey was found to reduce recovery time compared to benzocaine gel in grade 2 and 3 chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis to a degree that was statistically significant. In grade 3 oral mucositis, honey was as effective as a mixture of honey, olive oil and propolis, while both treatments were found to reduce recovery time compared to the benzocaine control.[14]
Sores or ulcerations can become infected by virus, bacteria or fungus. Pain and loss of taste perception makes it more difficult to eat, which leads to weight loss. Ulcers may act as a site for local infection and a portal of entry for oral flora that, in some instances, may cause septicemia (especially in immunosuppressed patients). Approximately half of all patients who receive chemotherapy develop such severe oral mucositis that becomes dose-limiting such that the patient's cancer treatment must be modified, compromising the prognosis.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Droid X Roms' started by Dsiiiviper4, Nov 20, 2011.
Are there any Roms that have 7 screens like the stock rom?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
That's your launcher. You can download LauncherPro, GoLauncher, ADW Launcher or pretty much any other one and have 7 screens. You might have to change it in the settings though
Boot Manager
That is not really a ROM thing but is related to the launcher/home app that you or the ROM is using. There are launchers on the market that are able to be customized to different numbers of screens.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Brad!
Oops sorry for the confusion thanks guys
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No need to apologize at all!! Its always good to ask questions if you have them, in fact its encouraged.
As long as you find a launcher you like you can make any ROM have that many screens. Some of the more popular and highly customizable ones are launcher pro, adw launcher, and go launcher ex. I would try those out and see what you think.

So far ADW is my preference.

How much are you worth?
It's one of the oldest questions in plant engineering and maintenance: How do you put a value on prevention? How much money and effort are needed to make sure something doesn't happen? And if something doesn't happen, how much did your effort contribute to its prevention?
It's relatively easy to put a value on what does happen. When something breaks, there's a measurable cost to fix it. When production stops, it's not that hard to compute a value for the lost production. It's easy to say that maintenance costs so much per hour or so much per year. But what is the value of that maintenance, and how is it measured?
When a breakdown happens, it's often easy to show that a lack of maintenance was responsible. But the opposite does not necessarily follow. When breakdowns don't happen, it's not easy to show that maintenance prevented them.
Much of what plant engineers do is making sure that negative events don't happen. It might even be said that the most successful plant engineering and maintenance operation is the one that doesn't appear to be needed. Thus, the question of the value of prevention goes to the very heart of the plant engineering function. And it runs the gamut from small, day-to-day decisions to strategic concerns of plant organization, capability, and capacity.
Plant engineers, therefore, become like medical doctors. Just as dietary habits or lifestyles can be shown statistically to have positive or negative effects, those factors may or may not affect certain individuals in specific ways. So, too, the industrial plant "doctor" — the plant engineer — finds himself dealing with probabilities and trends as indicators of the value of prevention.
All of this is not to say that it's futile to attempt measuring the value of prevention. Every plant must continually evaluate its programs and make adjustments. But closing in on the optimum level of investment is likely to involve a great deal of trial and error, benchmarking, and informed opinion.
This situation is one of the reasons I advocate that every plant should have a chief plant officer — someone at the highest level of plant management whose experience, knowledge, integrity, and professionalism are trusted to result in the best decisions for that plant. Often, the value of an individual decision can be neither proved nor disproved, so confidence in the person making it is prime.
I like to think a good plant engineer is worth his weight in gold. The trouble is I'm not sure how to prove that.

1.3 – Is Jewish Extremism Actually a Political Smokescreen?
1 comment:
Zionism is the smoke screen of the Jews!ReplyDelete
John Kaminski in his article "The root of all evil - the deceptive smokescreen of Jewish pseudonyms" says: "It was right about then — thanks to reading hard-to-find writers such as Eustace Mullins, Archibald Ramsay and others — that these same kind of events actually went back before Disraeli invented the word Zionist. So that led me to believe that the term Zionist — like Communist — was actually a synonym for Jews, or to be precise, Judaism, and these same kind of world-shaking events, seemingly always precipitated by bankers and money, occurred at regular (if not continuous) intervals back through history as far as one could see."

When someone asks what Mardi Gras is... THIS is what Mardi Gras is!Posted by Crista Rock on Saturday, February 6, 2016
It's that time of year again.
Time for the King Cake, beads, dancing, parties, costumes, parades, booze, and shenanigans: Mardi Gras.
If you've never been down in good ol' New Orleans when Fat Tuesday rolls around, just take a look at the video Christa Rock posted to Facebook on Saturday; it's a perfect montage of the kind of outrageous antics you're missing out on.
Mardi Gras takes place on the Tuesday before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. Catholics get all the 'sin' out of their systems before giving up their luxuries for the following six weeks until Easter Sunday.
So as the French say down in Louisiana, Laissez les bon temps rouler — "Let the good times roll"…

Regional Vice President Based in New York
New York City (February 2, 2017) – Pinnacle, one of the nation's leading multifamily management firms, adds the talent of Keith Tartamella to the regional leadership team as a vice president to guide the company's portfolio in the Northeast. He is charged with the oversight of 2,951 apartment homes in Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania. Based in New York, Tartamella reports to Woody Stone, executive vice president of the company's Eastern Division.
"Pinnacle is experiencing tremendous growth in the Northeast markets and Keith has the respected resume of success needed to guide the operations," says Stone. "Pinnacle began its migration into the region a few months ago and has already been entrusted with 16 properties because of the leadership we have been able to secure. Keith and his team will make a significant impact for these and future clients in the market."
Joining Pinnacle from Eagle Rock Management, Tartamella has a comprehensive understanding of multifamily management as the firm's previous head of operations. With responsibility for more than 40 properties at that helm, he was astute at budgeting, forecasting, developing process and procedure, implementing new technology, overseeing capital improvements and more. Tartamella's 13-year background in the industry was built from this and other ground-up roles with firms such as Avalon Bay Communities, Archstone Smith, Home Properties and Compassrock Real Estate.
Tartamella also leads a team of three regional property managers, including Justin Gaboury, Toni Perichino, and Darci Angarano.
Gaboury, who was the first to join the regional team, came on board in October 2016 with over 17 years of experience. Rising in the industry through key Northeast markets, his keen focus on team building and the resident experience has proven to be successful with renewal ratios at his properties. Gaboury now lends his expertise to over 1,200 units in luxury mid- and high-rise communities in the Westchester – South Connecticut market.
Returning to Pinnacle is Perichino, who has been dedicated to applying effective strategic business and marketing plans for multifamily properties for more than 20 years. As a member of Pinnacle's Northeast team, he will now oversee the financial performance and overall success of 883 units in the Baltimore/Washington DC and Harrisburg, PA markets. His portfolio is comprised of senior, garden and mid-rise properties.
Angarano brings her strength in property operations and team building to Pinnacle. With more than 12 years of experience, she will apply her ability to lead by example while overseeing six communities in three states. Her 854-unit portfolio of garden and mid-rise communities is located in Hartford, CT, northern New Jersey and Providence, RI.
About Pinnacle Property Management Services, LLC
Pinnacle Property Management Services, LLC, ("Pinnacle") is a privately held national real estate provider specializing in third party management of multifamily residential communities.

Bad Turn for us Cyanogenmod dev's and users
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
We at CM are very trusting of our members, showed by both respect and permissions granted to those people we consider part of the team. Last month, this trust was violated in a substantial way. In the spirit of openness, here is what happened.
CM's history is well established, with Cyanogen releasing his original ROM for the G1 on XDA forums. Back then, there was no "CyanogenMod" in terms of the organization and structure that we have today. The builds were hosted on Steve's personal machine, the original server was a donation of spare kit from Phaseburn. And due to the small size (and lack of funds), the CyanogenMod.com domain was bought by a third-party back in 2009 and donated to CM, when CM was a much smaller project and had no online presence besides XDA.
Fast-forward 3 years, we have 3 extremely powerful build boxes donated by the community and an army of developers, contributors, and supported devices. But, a little over a week ago, things took a bad turn. The person owning the CyanogenMod.com domain was caught impersonating Steve to make referral deals with community sites. When confronted and asked to hand over control of the domain amicably, he decided he wanted 10K USD for it, which we won't (and can't) pay.
We contacted those he had established deals with, only to discover that the person tasked with maintaining our web presence was setting up deals under the CM name, and impersonating Cyanogen himself. Plenty of satisfying evidence was provided by those sites / entities to make us certain that this wasn't a misunderstanding or one-time thing.
This leaves us at a critical impasse. Being trusted with CM's web presence means this member had control over the CM social network accounts (Twitter/FB) as well as domains (cyanogenmod.com). We have changed ownership of the social media accounts. When asked again to make the transition nicely, he responded with the following
"Hi, so you think by removing all my access across the infrastructure was going to be a great idea? We had a chat yesterday, you've decided to end this bitter. How about I just change the DNS entries right now. CM will practically go down."
Refusing to be extorted for funds, and then being threatened is "ending it bitter"? Today, it happened: all of our records were deleted, and cyanogenmod.com is slowly expiring out of the Internet and being replaced by blank pages and non-existing sites. @cyanogenmod.com e-mail is now being directed to a mailserver completely out of our control, too.
We have begun the dispute process with ICANN to reclaim our domain. In the meantime, please utilize CyanogenMod.org and all applicable subdomains.
As mentioned, this member also managed our Google Apps for Business account, and therefore our @cyanogenmod.com email addresses. These addresses should be considered discontinued until further notice. We will be contacting the Google team to reclaim rights to the apps account. In the meantime, please contact [email protected] for any devrel questions or other issues. A mailserver is being established to transition devrel and other support email addresses. We will provide those when they are finalized, and they will utilize the .org domain.
We don't like how this played out, and we are deeply hurt. Likewise, we are deeply saddened at the confusion this may have caused the community. We will continue to be open about the what, when, how, but unfortunately, we may never know the 'why' - though greed comes to mind. The team itself has not made a profit off of CM and that is not our goal. But to have one of our own betray the community like this is beyond our comprehension. We will update you all as things progress.
Know that we are pursuing every available legal means to regain control over our domain.
Please note, all donations that were given directly to Cyanogen (aka [email protected]) did indeed reach their destination and are not affected.
If you are a company out there that believes they have also entered into agreements with "CM" by this person impersonating Steve, please contact [email protected] We'd like to get a handle on how widespread this was before we file charges.
-The CyanogenMod Team
this took a turn for the worst for us this past week.
I know theres not too much CM users on here but this means a lot for people like me. almost all of our hardwork.. is vanished. less we have it stored.... CM was made for almost all android devices update to date (even including older gingerbread models). and come out with new builds everyday. most of my stuff on server was lost.
My thing is why would someone want to do this? even when its opensource(free).... why would someone want to destroy something others have worked so hard on? whats your take?
personally im surprised that something like this hasn't happened earlier...
u give unrestricted access to important aspects of an organization without any way of keeping tabs on activities that person does is just asking for trouble
My thing is why would someone want to do this? even when its opensource(free).... why would someone want to destroy something others have worked so hard on? whats your take?
why do people make computer viruses? seek to steal gaming accounts? people do bad things for no reason because they can't be held liable. They do it for the sake of just ruining things for the rest.
"some men just want to watch the world burn."
My face when I have no face.
As bad as I feel for the team, I have to wonder why you all didn't begin to migrate things when you could. Everything should be kept within the team. Otherwise someone like "Fake Steve" goes around doing what they did. At the very least you still have get.cm
well most of my software are for samsung devices. and I have all my builds since I started in 2010 saved on a passport HDD..... but most of our stuff directly on the site has been off'd. even all the source code we have on github has almost vanished. but as for me I will continue to release stuff off goo.im and dropbox..... actually most of us are doing that as of right now....
Never heard of Cyanogenmod before in my life.

I'm aware of the damage to the site and what happened on github. Honestly it makes me sick, I hope Mr. Kondik and the rest of you can have this settled quickly
It's an aftermarket operating system based on the Android Open Source Project. It was started by Steve Kondik for the G1 in 2008 and has grown into a team of developers that develop and maintain Android for something like 50 devices. It's a very popular version of Android that is almost entirely customizable
Cyanogenmod is a aftermarket rom made for Android devices. its opensource like ubuntu or other types of linux since android is linux based. made for enhanced use of android use and different outlook on your device.
Edit: I think we have more than 50 at moment and growing...... yes and this will be settled quickly.
50 was my best conservative guess, I lost track back at 25+ lol
that was a great guess.... I know in the past 2 months. I've seen like 10 other devices that have been added...a couple from LG/HTC and Motorola....I have a close friend doing the Motorola razr as we speak right now..... and it has just been launched not too far back.... thank god no boot.img or tar is required since now we have a friend outside of CM who had just created this device called a magic box(will root and rom any device in less than 3 mins....)
Nice, that will save a few headaches, just ran the new stable for Jewel but it seems to have a problem with notifications, I think I'll re-wipe the phone and try again but it looks like I will be sticking to deck's nightly for awhile longer
Deck's nightly is as good as stable..... Jewel???... is that ASOP? what you device you running?
HTC Evo 4G LTE *phew*
Deck is a great dev, even got lte working again (accidentally broke ehrpd) without being in an area where lte could be tested
JB entertainment I love it.....
hey did junipter achieve s-off yet?
oh man was any of 4.2 committed before all this mess happened?
DirtyRacun was teased on the 30th and public beta was released about a week ago, SOFF for HBOOT's 1.15 and 1.19
as far as HTC goes... I know only the oneX and 3d...

Malaria parasites stay inside erythrocytes (red blood cells) the longest time they spend in humans. There they reproduce asexually, and it is during this time that they cause disease. They fundamentally restructure their "host" cells and, for this purpose, need to secrete into them many different proteins.
We have shown that an entire complex of pumps is involved that pumps the proteins across membranes that surround the parasite and separate them from the interior of the red blood cell. It draws or pushes proteins in an unfolded state - as strings - through the membranes. It has not yet been established whether a single type of pump does it all or various pumps are used for different proteins instead. As transport of these proteins is essential to survival of the parasite – and for its pathogenic effect – every individual pump makes an excellent target for the development of new drugs.

I purchased le lift moisturizer CREME and this serum. I have been using the product for 3 months dedicated. I will start by saying prior to usage my Skin was Unevened skin tone, dry and dull look I was looking for even toned skin with slight lines to be erased. I am 34 years old.
After using both products I have to rate it 5 stars. My skin is clearer, firmer, lines have disappeared around my eyes, and my skin is even toned. It also looks very radiant! I do use in addition chanel eye cream. And I religiously wash my face every morning and night using the product as instructed. For the results price is affordable cream is $165 and serum is $175. I feel it's priceless for the results I have achieved. Will definitely use this product for the rest of my life ( I have tried EVEEYRHINg) absolutely no break outs on the product as it works on all skin types.

I have not purchased a more expensive serum, before. 1.7 oz. was $225. For that reason alone, I will not purchase, again.
That said, it's really very good. My skin is soft, smooth and firm. I don't have saggy skin, but I'm 49 and have sensitive, oily, tend to break out skin.
Light fragrance has not irritated or caused a breakout. Works well under other products. Balanced out my oiliness.
It's a lovely product that seems to do what it says. I'm just not convinced that I can't find a product that works as well or better for less money.

This product delivers halfway. It did firm my skin but not as much as I expected, even following the application techniques included inside the box. I stopped using it for a while and did notice my skin start to slack again, somewhat anyway. I must say, however, it did do wonders for my complexion, as I have oily skin, and this serum seems to absorb into my face and throat almost immaculately. I use it night and day, and ever since I started using it with Chanel White Essentiel sunscreen in the a.m., my skin feels and looks perfectly hydrated and glowy. (Olay, Lancome, and Lauder firming products seemed to leave my skin feeling "filmy" or just plain heavy and greasy.) Oh, and, last but not least, I must say it does have the most delightful aroma! All in all, I think of it not as a miraculous lifting serum but rather as a very efficient firming, light moisturizer. It is overpriced but since it does have its good points, I'll probably repurchase until I find something better.

Whatever this bottle have inside it has been doing magic to my eyes!.
I am using the samples since I went the other day to channel section in Macy's, to by a compact powder, and the selling lady gave some samples for it.in 30 minutes after I applied I can see the difference around my eyes, it looked firmer and younger. I am 29 years old and always have dark circles around my eyes, and specially now adays with work and classes I dont have enough sleep. This syrum made them look better indeed. However, I feel its sticky and shinny around my eyes, so I think its better to use it before going to bed and not under make up in the morning.
I think I will buy it when I can afford it.

Have bought and used this serum twice in a row but am currently using their blanc essentiel range at the moment. Was quite pleased with it in retrospect because when I stopped using this range ( I was using the entire LIFT range with moisturisers and eye cream as well as their masque), I discovered my skin was actually lacking firmness while using their blanc essentiel range. So it has perhaps lived up to its promise.
I may repurchase in the future but will try other brands first.

i got this as a sample, and within days, i saw and felt a difference! Skin evened out, and felt softer than before! I was so amazed at the fast acting effects that I went out to buy the full size.
Didn't break me out. In fact i think it kept the pimples away. People have commented on my improved skin as well.
to be honest, i don't use it for the "lift" effect. But it has really made a big difference to the look and feel of my skin.
Highly recommend it!

I noticed a slight slackening around my cheeks and lower chin area as I entered into my thirties. Saw this serum is targeted for Lifting and Firming. The SA shared that Asian skin tends to slacken first then followed by formation of lines thus this is idea to start off as an intenstive treatment against gravity.
The bottle is in a black color airless pump which I like as is hygenic. 30ml cost SGD$210 which is rather pricey. So far this is my second bottle, the first lasted me about 3 months with 2x daily applications.
First thing i noticed was the wobbly part of the lower chin is much tightened after a couple of weeks and now even my DH has made the comment that my face seemed smaller as the lower jowls are more firm and lifted. The texture and tone is significantly improved and I hope to maintain this results even if I switch to other skincare after this.

This review is for the SERUM from the new Chanel Ultra Correction Lift line. This is the product labeled "Sculpting Firming Concentrate" on the bottle. It is designed to be layered under your moisturizer or night time treatment. After seeing some smoothing results from a sample tube, I splurged for the full size...a ridiculously overpriced $165.00 for a 1 oz. airless pump bottle (less 1 lippie for price). However in this case I did get what I paid for. I've been using the serum during the daytime only under my regular spf 30 moisturizer. The serum is the only thing I've added or changed to my skin care routine, so I can only attribute the improvements to this product. After nearly six weeks of use my skin looks visibly plumper and smoother (I don't mean plumper as in fat or puffy--just more "filled in" looking!). The little hollows of my face don't seem to cast the deep shadows they used to, and my overall skin surface is more even-textured. The difference is noticeable with or without makeup, and in dim or bright light, which is impressive. I've had no breakouts, millia or any other bad side effects from this product.
The Ultra Correction Lift Serum is one of only two products I've used that I can honestly say delivered a significant, noticeable difference in my skin in a short amount of time (the other being Skinceuticals Retinol 0.5). If you are 35+ and/or have definite signs of aging, I highly recommend getting your hands on some sample tubes and trying out this product!
UPDATE 4/10: After several months of use I seemed to have reached a plateau with this product. Either that, or my skin just seems to have become immune to this serum. Continued use seems to only maintain the first initial results, but no further improvement happens. This was great out of the gate but all the "bang" was in in the first two months...then nothing. Considering the price and the lack of continued improvement, I'm not sure i will be purchasing this again. I will use up my current bottle and then stop using it for a while to see what happens. Will post any new developments! continued >>

Tips On Choosing The Best Overhead Door Company
As a business owner, you should take great care when choosing a door company to manage your door installation. This is because many companies that offer the services are not the same regarding quality and the services they offer. It is important to choose a reliable company that will provide the best for you. The following are important tips to consider when choosing the best overhead door company.
First, choose a company that has more knowledge on the local weather conditions in your area and that which understands the needs of property owners. This is because the company will have the materials and tools to be used and the task will be completed in the best time. Also, consider how long the company has been in this business because an experience is a very important factor in the assurance of quality services. The company must use durable materials because doors are made to last for a long period. It is also important to know if the company you choose will be available by the time the door is due for installation.

Additionally, the company must be well insured and they must have a policy that covers all damages and accidents that may occur during the process of installation. It is wise to choose a company with a good status and one that you can trust with your property. The chosen company must also have customer references and it should be registered by home builders association or have professional certificates. It is also important to compare cost between different
A-1 Door Co companies

Ooops...I am a horrible blogger. Is it too early to make my New Years Resolution?!?!
My first goal this year was to work on managing motherhood, being a wife, and a teacher. Well, I think I have a routine figured out that is working great....so far. My new goal is to add blogging back into the mix. Here is my first attempt in two months.
I feel like so much has been happening in my classroom, but I've been horrible at documenting it. Here is a little bit of what I have from the last two months. Now, it's not much and it isn't really anything exciting.
One of the mini lessons that I did with my little ones awhile back was on asking sentences. They were having a very difficult time identifying whether a sentence needed a period or a question mark at the end. This was a spure of the moment mini lesson and anchor chart.
I added the heading: Words that Show Someone is Asking a Question before the mini lesson. Then I directed my students to list some words that would show that someone is asking a question.
This is the beginning of the list. This mini lesson actually took two days to complete. Each time a student added a word to the list, we also wrote an example sentence using that same word.
This is the beginning of the list. This mini lesson actually took two days to complete. Each time a student added a word to the list, we also wrote an example sentence using that same word.
Afterwards, I hung this chart in the classroom and I feel that it has "clicked" for many of my students. We just need to work on applying it to our writing!
Back at the end of October, my first grade team invited a "bat man" to come visit our first graders. Mr. Bat Man brings in some skeletons of bats and some REAL bats for the firsties to see. I remember last year I was extremely nervous, but this has actually been one of my favorite moments in first grade.
Mr. Bat Man brings in a large net and 3 or 4 bats to fly around. Well, the first time we had him scheduled to come for a visit he FORGOT! Our firsties were so disappointed. While they were disappointed I was in a panic. I had nothing planned for the next hour!
So, I did an impromptu lesson on main characters. I quickly created the anchor chart below and pulled out Purplicious to read. This impromptu lesson on main characters actually ended up being a great lesson and it transformed my entire day. My firsities were really into learning about main characters. This group of kiddos is really creative.
After reading the text and doing some "turn and talking" about the main character, I had my little ones only draw to describe Pinkalicious. I was really impressed with their creativity. This group of kids loves to draw and WRITE! I am loving this group this year. (Math on the other hand is not so great, but that is a story for another time...)
We also wrote a great writing piece using key details to describe the main character that also was an opinion piece as to why they would recommend the book Purplicious to a friend or family member. But...I forgot to take a picture of the whole display. I told you I have been slacking at documenting what has been happening. Ooops.
So, that is all I have. Be on the look out this weekend for my Black Friday Sale and the TpT Cyber Monday and Tuesday Sale! Plus...I am working on a really cute Elf writing activity that you don't want to miss out on. I hope to have it done by Monday!
The Early Bird Sale...

7th Grade Tech Class Notes
Rocket Design Criteria
The following Design Criteria are based on the most efficient design giving the best performance and distance to the rocket.
I. Rocket-Not a true Rocket, not self propelled
A. Propulsion – what makes the rocket go
1. Fired from a compressed air launcher
2. Uses 60 psi (pounds per square inch) air pressure
3. No guidance system, it is a projectile
B. Physics –the science of motion
1. Things that effect the flight of the rocket
a. friction with the air – Drag
b. Gravity- what goes up must come down (except 17000mph)
2. Causes the flight –Newton's 3rd Law of motion (For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
II. Parts and Components- the various pieces that are assembled to make up the rocket
A. Core Launch Tube- the piece that fits onto the launcher and holds all the air pressure
1. made out of construction paper, masking tape, cardboard, glue stick and yellow aliphatic glue
2. 18" long maximum (length of construction paper)
B. Fuselage-the "body" of the rocket
1. must fit over the CLT
2. can be anything (almost) NO METAL
3. does not need to cover the entire CLT
C. Nosecone –the pointy end
1. help to penetrate the air- aerodynamic
2. I will give Urethane Foam
3. Students cover is with water putty for hardness and strength
4. If you want something else student supplies: balsa wood, preformed plastic
D. Fins- stabilizing elements to control flight
1. Sheet styrene, supplied by instructor
2. Large enough to interact with the air, small enough not to steer rocket
3. Can be bent to cause rocket to spin
III. Design Factors – limits and optimums
A. Size –overall size and diameters
1. Weight comes with size, too big, too heavy, too small not enough acceleration
2. Too large a diameter and too much drag, too small and it won't fit on launcher
B. Weight- coupled with drag on launcher it may
Not launch
1. Too much and thrust will no overcome it
2. Too little no inertia, the feather effect
C. Balance-where the center of balance is placed
1. Too far forward and it will nose over
2. Too far back and the back will out accelerate the front, tumble,
IV. Materials
A. Core Launch Tube
1. Construction paper
2. Masking tape
3. Glue stick
4. Cardboard
5. Yellow aliphatic glue, woodworker's glue
B. Fuselage
1. Anything but metal and glass
2. Does not need to be a cylinder
C. Nosecone
1. Urethane Foam
2. Water putty- hard protective surface
3. Balsa Wood- hard to find, expensive
4. Preformed plastic piece
1. Sheet Styrene – easy to cut and form
2. Any material but no "sharp- blade like" materials.
