In the last few comfy and cold days off, I've been indulging in some fun TV shows! And not the typical kind.
It's been a strange catalyst for me. When I first started this blog, I was into learning and researching the fashion world (as an outsider.) I'd grown up with female seamstresses in my family, custom making most of my clothes, reading their countless back issues of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. So my interests at the beginning of this blog, spanned the history of fashion, but also learning about modern trends. In the last few years…I don't know what happened. The endless cycle of fast fashion and the disillusion with lack of transparency of bloggers being bad, turned me off the fashion world in an odd way. And then one day a few months ago while bored of watching all the same things on Netflix and through the Roku, I discovered the M2M channel! A portal to fashion videos.
From their about page
Made to Measure (M2M) is a new fashion video network. M2M covers the world of fashion and style – past, present and future – through fresh and culturally relevant storytelling. M2M features original programming, classic fashion films and runway shows from the world's top designers. M2M's original series and documentaries highlight the people, issues, trends and events that have defined and transformed the fashion landscape.
There are tons of catwalk/runway videos. Fashion films both recent and from the past. Lots of quirky and interesting series that show behind the scenes from the fashion world, but also intriguing interviews!
For example, I've been LOVING these interview series called Tea at the Beatrice with Glenn O'Brien. A simple concept of Glenn O'Brien (famed editor and writer) interviewing a wide array of artists and creatives! It's a simple interview, but full of such great information!
Or these quirky shorts about fashion icons figures and objects
It's the only place I've been able to rewatch this old favorite, Signe Chanel, which followed Karl Lagerfeld and his couturiers as they got ready for the Haute Couture show!
I enjoyed for the first time, watching a runway show! It has been YEARS since I've been able to sit through one. This Chanel 2017 pre-fall show at the Ritz was sublime!
This seriously has been so fun to absorb and made me fall in love with fashion again. It feels so weird to say that?!! Do yourself a favor and connect to this channel!

Alternative fuels; The Best Alternative?

The electric car has been an elusive dream of environmentalists and automakers for decades, however with growing concerns about global warming; the idea is attracting a new generation of entrepreneurs who are hoping better batteries will make electric cars practical this time around. Electric cars help fight global warming for the reason that they contribute less greenhouse gases to the atmosphere than gasoline-powered cars, even if the electricity is created in a coal-fired power plant. Passion for the environment dates back to the 1970s and more specifically during the oil crisis. For decades, common people of all ages as well as celebrities have longed for the creation, distribution, and market of hybrids.
Legendary actor, the late Paul Newman asked Congress to promote new sources of energy years before "green" was even a household name.
When the oil crisis lifted, interest waned. However, this time around, the threat of global warming will keep people focused. With the millennium ten years in, new energy conserving ideas are being brought to the market. Among the most prominent are cars powered by electricity, as opposed to gasoline. Electric vehicles seem practical, and they protect the environment by reducing pollution.
Some contemporary's believe that our economy would suffer colossal changes in order to accommodate these low-emission vehicles. The entire oil industry would bear an enormous loss, car manufacturing would have to change completely, and many people involved in the gasoline industry would become unemployed. While alternative fuels may help protect the environment, they would destroy the economy.
The oil industry depends on the production of gasoline. Transportation accounts for twenty-five percent of U.S. demand, and it depends wholly on oil. If...

Performance artist Casey Jenkins recently debuted a new show called 'Programmed to Reproduce,' which tackles the issue of online harassment. Jenkins is best known for her 2013 show 'Casting Off My Womb,' which involved her knitting with period blood-stained yarn. Although the show resulted in a great deal of online harassment, Jenkins is now putting the negative comments to good use.
Programmed to Reproduce debuted at the Australia's Festival of Live Art, which runs until March 11th. During the show, Jenkins uses an industrial knitting machine to produce banners that reveal some of the negative comments she has received online. Jenkins also reads the comments out loud, giving viewers a glimpse inside the dark world of online harassment. Audience members are then invited to share their own experiences with online harassment in order to create a conversation around personal identity in the digital age.
Jenkins' show ultimately offers an interesting look at gender and bullying in the age of the Internet.

To make sure growers have the "best experience possible" with its new Roundup Ready Flex cotton, Monsanto says it is making information about a new formulation of its glyphosate herbicide available to other manufacturers.
Speaking at a media event at its Leland, Miss., research facility, Monsanto representatives said they will be selling new versions of Roundup WeatherMax and Roundup Original Max that have been specially tested and formulated to provide optimum crop safety and weed control for use on Roundup Ready Flex varieties.
But the company will also make information about the new formulations available to producers of competing glyphosate herbicides, said Jeff Wheeler, Roundup marketing manager for Monsanto.
"We've been telling growers that injury may occur when they use glyphosate not specifically formulated for Roundup Ready Flex cotton," said Wheeler. "We're encouraging growers to ask their retailer if their glyphosate products contain the new formulation.
"We want to make sure growers have the best possible experience with Roundup Ready Flex cotton, and we're trying to offer the best products we can provide."
The new Roundup agricultural herbicide formulations, which were scheduled to begin arriving at farm supply wholesale and retail outlets in mid-September, will feature a product starburst on the label that reads: "Herbicide for use with Roundup Ready crops and now specially formulated for expanded Roundup Ready Flex cotton uses."
Wheeler said the new formulations of Roundup WeatherMax and Roundup Original Max will be the only Roundup agricultural herbicides that can be applied over Roundup Ready Flex cotton beginning in 2006. (Monsanto expects to introduce the technology next year if foreign regulatory approvals are received.)
"Pricing will be competitive with Roundup Original Max being offered at the same price point as in 2005," Wheeler says. "Growers can expect Roundup WeatherMax to be offered at a similar or lower price compared to its 2005 list price."
Monsanto tested a number of herbicide formulations on Roundup Ready Flex cotton last summer after studies confirmed that a combination of components in existing glyphosate formulations, including all previous Roundup agricultural brands, has the potential to cause leaf injury when applied past the four-leaf stage in cotton.
"These new Roundup brand formulations address this potential leaf-injury problem and underscore Monsanto's commitment that cotton growers have the best possible experience with Roundup Ready Flex cotton, both in terms of weed control and crop safety," Wheeler said.
He said Monsanto is making the improved formulation technology broadly available to support grower choice and a competitive marketplace, although it is not yet known which manufacturers will have new formulations available.
Before the recent Monsanto studies, leaf injury from over-the-top glyphosate applications had not been an issue because those applications were not allowed in Roundup Ready cotton past the four-leaf stage. Roundup Ready Flex cotton gives growers more flexibility by allowing applications past the four-leaf stage. To date, only leaf injury has been documented. No bollshed, pollination problems or yield reduction have been observed as a result of this crop injury.
"We know that environmental issues can play a role in the occurrence of this injury," Wheeler said. "This leaf injury has only been documented in cotton — not in any other Roundup Ready crops."

Storage & Shelving
Racks-storage and display shelves | StoRacking
Designed to hold all kinds of merchandise, even the heaviest, all while facilitating organization, classification and handling.
The StoRacking storage shelving system's multiple combinations make it possible to get full use of the store and available volume, since the display and storage can share the same space, thereby reducing the surface area used for storage.
For light loads, there are two lines:
• With shelves: 950 and 1,250 mm wide, which have been adapted to the boxes used in Drive shops
• With cross-shelves: 2,000 and 2,500 mm long, suitable for the storage very large products that are not very heavy
For medium or heavy loads, combining shelving and rack, the system is divided in two zones:
• Upper: for the storage of products of any size or to create ambiences, which is useful to highlight the image of the products since these spaces become points that draw the attention of the customers
• Lower: for the products that we want to display. Here the products are accessible for the customer to take and buy. In this part we integrate the standard shelves

This Week's Vegetable Share:
- Lettuce Heads
- Acorn Squash (grown by our neighbor, Brad Paulson, and harvested by us)
- Red Cabbage
- Beets
- Dill
- Leeks
- White Salad Turnips
Farm Journal
Late October is the time of year when we talk about "putting the farm to bed". This is how we refer to the many tasks that must be completed before winter sets in. These tasks include shutting down the irrigation system and draining all the pipes, removing plastic mulch from the eggplant and pepper fields, pulling up and stacking tomato stakes, turning crops under, spreading compost for next year's crops, sowing rye as a cover crop on late-harvested fields, planting garlic, winterizing tractors, covering lettuce and other greens with protective frost fabric, and harvesting potatoes, sweet potatoes and squash for storage. On Friday, in anticipation of a freeze, the Grayslake crew spent the afternoon covering sensitive crops with frost fabric, while, up in Brodhead, Matt and I spent the afternoon harvesting acorn squash. These days it seems we don't often have a chance to work together just the two of us. But on Friday it was kind of like the old days, the two of us working side by side to bring in the harvest. As we worked, we talked about how much we are looking forward to the quiet and the rest that winter will bring. But we also talked about how much we will miss working outside, feeling the sun on our faces and the dirt on our hands. It's a bittersweet time of year, and we're determined to savor every moment.
Have a great week! --Peg

In the Farm Kitchen: Tips for Making the Most of your Share
Like most of the other crops we harvest throughout October and November, the flavor of beets continues to improves with each frosty night. Beets are at their sweetest right now so it doesn't take much to enhance their flavor. In my opinion, beets are best enjoyed in simple dishes rather than fussy ones. One of the easiest ways to prepare beets is to drizzle them with olive oil and roast them, wrapped in foil, in a 400 degree oven until they're tender. Pair roasted beets with any of the following flavors and you're likely to have a winner: dill, mint, parsley, greens, goat cheese, blue cheese, lemon, cumin, wine vinegar, orange juice, lemon juice, horseradish, smoked fish, sour cream, hazelnuts, walnuts, and pinenuts. Another easy and delicious way to enjoy beets is to grate them raw (and unpeeled) into a salad. Use 2 cups of grated beets, 1 teaspoon of fresh dill, and 2 teaspoons finely chopped onion or shallot. Season with your favorite vinaigrette.
This Week's Featured Recipes
German Sweet-and-Sour Red Cabbage
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 leek, white and light green parts sliced thinly
1 apple, peeled, cored, chopped
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon celery seed
Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add leek and apple and sauté until soft, about 7 minutes. Add cabbage, vinegar, sugar and celery seed and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender and liquid is reduced to glaze, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Beet and Turnip Greens with Bacon
1 bunch beet greens, coarsely chopped
1 bunch turnip greens, coarsely chopped
6-8 slices bacon, chopped
1 leek, white and light green parts sliced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Cook bacon in a large skillet. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a plate; pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet. Add leek and cook until softened. In three batches, add beet and turnip greens and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper and stir in bacon.
Borscht with Beets, Red Cabbage and Dill
1 1/2 pounds beets, unpeeled
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/2 head red cabbage shredded
1 bay leaf
One 16-ounce can whole, peeled tomatoes (with liquid), roughly chopped
9 cups beef or vegetable broth
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 to 1/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
In a large saucepan, cover the beets with cold water by l inch. Stir in 1/4 cup of the vinegar and 2 tablespoons salt. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until very tender, about 30 minutes. Drain, cool, and peel the beets. Dice the beets and set aside.
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks, garlic, and caraway seeds and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring, until wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the bay leaf, beets, tomatoes, and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.
Stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons vinegar and the remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Season with pepper to taste. To serve, divide among soup bowls, top with dollops of the sour cream and sprinkle with the dill.
Next Week's Harvest (our best guess)... potatoes, Swiss chard, celeriac, lettuce, arugula, radishes, shallots, and more!

Arkansas may retry a man for murder even though jurors in his first trial were unanimous that he was not guilty, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday.
Alex Blueford, who is accused of killing his girlfriend's 1-year-old son, is not protected by the Constitution's Double Jeopardy Clause, the court ruled in a 6 to 3 decision.
Because the judge dismissed the jury when it was unable to reach agreement on lesser charges, Blueford was not officially cleared of any of the charges, the majority said, and thus may be retried.
"The jury in this case did not convict Blueford of any offense, but it did not acquit him of any either," Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote.
The decision brought a sharp dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan.
"Blueford's jury had the option to convict him of capital and first-degree murder, but expressly declined to do so," Sotomayor wrote. "That ought to be the end of the matter."
The Double Jeopardy Clause is found in the Constitution's Fifth Amendment and commands that no person shall be "twice put in jeopardy of life or limb" for the same offense.
Blueford was tried for the death of Matthew McFadden Jr., who died in 2007 from head injuries. Arkansas prosecutors said Blueford intentionally caused the boy's death, while Blueford maintained that he had accidentally knocked the child to the ground.
Blueford was charged with capital murder, although the state waived the death penalty. At trial, the judge instructed jurors that if they had reasonable doubt about whether he was guilty of capital murder, they should next consider the charge of first-degree murder. If they found reasonable doubt about that, they should then consider manslaughter, they were told, and after that, negligent homicide.
The jurors' final option was to acquit Blueford of all charges.
After a few hours of deliberations, the jury reported that it might not be able to reach a decision. The forewoman told the judge that the jurors were unanimous against capital and first-degree murder, had split 9 to 3 against manslaughter and did not vote on negligent homicide.
The judge sent the jurors back for more deliberations, but half an hour later the forewoman reported no verdict. The court declared a mistrial.
All agree that Blueford can be retried on charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide, but Blueford claimed the murder charges were off the table because a jury had rejected them.
The Supreme Court majority disagreed. "The foreperson's report was not a final resolution of anything," Roberts wrote. "The fact that deliberations continued after the report deprives that report of the finality necessary to constitute an acquittal on the murder offenses."
He was joined by Justices Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Stephen G. Breyer and Samuel A. Alito Jr.
Sotomayor's dissent said the ruling weakens the founders' concerns about allowing the state to bring repeated charges against those it disfavors.
"This case demonstrates that the threat to individual freedom from reprosecutions that favor states and unfairly rescue them from weak cases has not waned with time," she wrote. "Only this court's vigilance has."
The case is Blueford v. Arkansas .

However, it has a very thin atmosphere which is detectable with very sensitive instruments. This week's episode #370 of the podcast The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe reported a story about a new observation from one of the satellites that is currently orbiting the moon. Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's LAMP spectrometer detects helium in Moon's atmosphere is an article describing the findings.
The surprising thing about this was not the finding of helium, but that the panel was not able to understand where this helium would come from. The podcast is generally excellent and I learn a lot from it. If you are not a regular listener then I would recommend it to you very strongly. (I know a few people have abandoned it recently because of the unholy row started by Rebecca Watson, but I still listen to it. I must admit that this week's episode was more to my liking because I found none of the panel members annoying!)
However, like many great science podcasts, SGU lacks adequate input from anyone who understands the physical sciences adequately, and time after time they miss something really obvious.
Someone else, Brad the Barbarian, beat me to the answer on the SGU forum but that's not unusual since I usually don't get the podcast download until the Saturday or Sunday after the Wednesday release. He explained that helium is the result of alpha decay of radioactive isotopes. I'll add a little more detail.
This process happens on the earth too, and it keeps the concentration of helium in the air fairly constant at a few parts per million. Yes, as they said on the show, helium escapes relatively easily from the atmosphere because it is so light that it can reach escape velocity, but it is constantly being topped up from below, albeit rather slowly.
|Helium - light enough to escape
One of the best illustrations of this is the observation that helium is a major inconvenience to the industries that drill for natural gas. In some fields the natural gas contains more than 20% helium. Helium is inert and does not burn, and if the helium is not removed it has a very detrimental effect on the calorific value, and therefore the economic value of the gas that they wish to sell.
Fortunately this is where we get most of our industrial helium from. The unwanted contaminant has value in itself. At the moment there is a world shortage which is causing some inconvenience.
The helium collects in natural gas reservoirs for the same reason that the natural gas collects. Above the oil field there is a rock layer that is impervious to gases, so they collect as a kind of bubble. By drilling through the top of the bubble the gas is allowed out.
The helium comes from a specific type of radioactive decay of elements in the rocks below - namely alpha decay. Some elements decay into others releasing an alpha particle. An alpha particle only needs to collect two electrons from the environment to become a helium atom, and electrons are very easy to find if you have a positive attitude - or should I say a positive charge.
Incidentally, for the SGU panel there was a clue. The instrument that measured this property of the moon's atmosphere is known by the acronym LAMP. The A in that acronym is 'Alpha'.

I left out that MP volume 1 in my list. I started it on Sunday - it is VERY good, but part of me wishes the collective we could move on from World War II & Nazis. Can't our own generation(s) start being significant enough and do significant enough things for entertainment to riff?

by Punchy » Tue May 14, 2013 10:37 am
Well, the series is more about the Cold War than WW2, by the end of Volume 2 they are up to JFK's Presidency.
Wernher Von Braun was a real-life integral part of the Manhattan Project, it makes sense to feature him.
by outsider » Tue May 14, 2013 10:49 am
Oh, I realize going in that it's going to feature a lot of real-life/historical characters - my comment was more on entertainment in general. It seems like a lot of geek-centric properties have WWII as the focal element.
I dig the Manhattan Project anyway (my grandfather was a physicist in Oak Ridge, helping extract uranium) but I do like the hidden/alternate history that Hickman is rolling out.
by Punchy » Tue May 14, 2013 10:59 am
Yeah, it does seem like a lot of stuff is harkening back to WW2 but with Vampires or Werewolves or some other sci-fi/fantasy slant.
Maybe it's because we aren't as ready to tell stories about the current wars, so people need to go back to older ones?

Before or after discount?

Cover price was $9.99, so before a discount is applied!
by outsider » Tue May 14, 2013 12:29 pm
It may be that, plus a bit of nostalgia. 'The Greatest Generation' is rapidly dying off, so it makes sense that the current generation of storytellers is affected by that and harkening to the defining era of their parents'/grandparents' lives.
I just wonder if our children & grandchildren are going to have Al Qaida, North Korean or Chinese villains in their geek stories like we do with Nazis (but not Japanese... oddly enough).
by Arion » Tue May 14, 2013 3:03 pm
Ah glad to hear that.
Guys, by the way, I posted a Neon Genesis Evangelion review on my blog. If you could please stop by and leave a comment I'd appreciate it.

I passed on Bendis' last volumes of Avengers and though about trying it with this since I haven't seen the trades super cheap.

Felt the same way about Gorgon.
by misac » Tue May 14, 2013 5:11 pmNova Classic v.1 – This took a while to read, could just read like an issue and a half on my lunch break. It was super fun though.
The pop culture references are pretty funny, Woody Allen and Tony Orlando were a couple.
The last two issues is a crossover with Spider-man and it's pretty cool. It's sort of a murder mystery!
Art was John and Sal Buscema, mostly Sal and of course it was great.
Angel & Faith v.3: Family Reunion – It's funny the last trade had Faith's dad dropping in and this one has Angel dropping in on Conner.
I think this was mostly to set up the Willow mini but it was still good. Rebekah Isaacs' art fits this book so well, love it.

So far it's been okay. Wish the reader was a bit better for Droid but it's more than manageable. I like the library and the idea that you can download comics for non-wifi reading but I wish it was like 10 instead of 6. The selection and browsing filters are great though. I have a crapload of stuff queued in my library already.
Give me a month and I'll tell you if it's worth the purchase. I did get the year subscription at the discounted rate.
by Keb » Wed May 15, 2013 9:48 amSpider-Man: the Origin of the Hobgoblin by Roger Stern, John Romita & friends
(read on unlimited). Great story. Must have been something to read this when it first came out in monthly format. It's like you don't know what will happen next. Romita is just naturally born to draw Spider-Man. Too bad we didn't see the conclusion but the clues that were dropped as to hobgoblin's identity were great.

We were gone...
I've (we've) essentially disappeared off the face of virtual world. Ok I still check Facebook from Time to time, but I haven't been writing or visiting blogs lately. I just can't. If I am not in class or at work I am at home with the dogs studying (which means avoiding the internet) or helping family. Well that isn't entirely true I have been watching some TV on DVD to try and relax after a stressful day or two. I've even stopped doing house work for the most part b/c I just don't have time. Poor Andy has been put in charge. And lets just say house work in my opinion is really a two + person job.
But if you think I've neglected cyber space, it's nothing in comparison to my dear grandmother. Well I hadn't seen my grandma in like 6 weeks and she can't drive anymore (she does have other family around who help though). She finally called me the other day almost in tears because her Sheltie (lula's litter mate), Jack, needed to go to the vet because his skin condition had come back with a vengeance. In short I am now at grandma's 2-3 times a week bathing Jack with special shampoo. Which I am happy to do… As long as the visit can be at like 10:00 at night or 7:00 in the morning. It's been good to be with grandma again.
On a lighter note, here is a photo. It's of me receiving a singing valentine at work. Andy totally surprised me! I thought it was simply brilliant and I don't know if he'll ever be able to top it. \

'There definitely is a need to implement technological solutions to provide health insurance cover'Posted: February 4, 2016 Filed under: Health Insurance Companies | Tags: Bajaj Allianz, Cashless Health Insurance, claim settlement, Remedinet Leave a comment
This story was first published in Express Healthcare in November.
Remedinet,, a healthcare IT solutions provider, recently tied-up with Bajaj Allianz for a healthcare insurance solution. Munish Daga, CEO, Remedinet Technologies shares more details of the agreement and elucidates how it would be beneficial to simplify operations for Bajaj Allianz, in an interview with Lakshmipriya Nair Excerpts
Remedinet recently entered into a tie-up with Bajaj Allianz for a healthcare insurance solution. Tell us how would the solution help in simplifying operations?
Bajaj has partnered with Remedinet's platform to further streamline their cashless claim settlement process and reduce manual intervention. With Remedinet's technology, these processes go from offline to online where the data entered by the hospital staff flows into Bajaj Allianz's platform electronically through Remedinet. Thus, when the patient arrives he/she does not have to wait as member validation happens real-time by entering only the member Id in to the system. Similarly, all following information and documents are exchanged and processed electronically for a quick response time. This partnership will help to reduce the turnaround time for responding to queries by 40 to 50 per cent initially.
How will your solutions help revolutionise healthcare delivery?
There definitely is a need to implement technological solutions to provide a health insurance cover, not only for in-patient care but for out-patient as well, that can efficiently cater to the diverse and rising needs of consumers. Leveraging technology to build such a system will lead to standardisation of processes, transparent and error-free transactions, reduced turnaround and waiting times, paperless transactions and a process which is completely real-time. Furthermore, such a system will also, automate all processes involved, which in turn, will lead to a bank of structured data that can be used to gain tremendous insight into mapping healthcare usage patterns and trends.
How has the healthcare IT space evolved? Which are the areas that Remedinet seeks to leverage?
Today, services that can be provided at the click of a few buttons are the most sought-after. With every other sector gearing steadily towards mobile technology, it is only fitting that the healthcare insurance sector makes the move too. At Remedinet, we have put our foot in the door by making it possible for the hospital administration to monitor the status of cashless healthcare policies of their patients using an app on mobile phone/handheld devices. Remedinet is also gearing towards making it possible to submit and adjudicate claims using an app – processing the entire transaction from end-to-end using a mobile phone.

A trip to North west of Iran
Our Holy Prophet ,Mohammad (P.B.U.H) said:
Whenever you feel tired have a trip, even short, whenever you feel uneasy in your hometown, migrate…
My mother, my brother's family and I have one week trip to North West of Iran (Ardabil). Although I had a terrible toothache during the trip I enjoyed it a lot. We visit Ardebil, which is one of the cities of the northwesters province of Iran. Ardebil people are Iranian –Turkish. They speak in Turkey and they are really kind and calm.
We went to Sareyn. Sareyn is a town near Ardabil on the slope of Sabalan Mountain. It is well known by its mineral spring. It has sulphuric water which is good for bones and skin. We spent 2 hours in sulphuric water in International Sabalan Pool and enjoy its warmth. There are 11 pools for mineral water some are luxury and some on medium.
On the way back we bought honey and honey comb from the best honey maker in the current year in Ardabil. Ardabil is famous for its natural honey. It is really rich and delicious.
Since I had pain in my tooth I could not go for shopping as I wish, I `ve just bought some souvenirs for my nieces and nephews.

Additional Information:
The primary reason for using macros is that by using 10 lines of code, you can process 10,000 lines of data. A loop is basically an instruction to repeat the same steps until all the data has been processed. The For/Next loop lets you explicitly state how many times you wish to repeat the steps and so can be considered the most reliable.
If you are unsure how much data needs to be processed, a For/Next loop that says "do this 1000 times" may be inefficient as there may only be 10 rows of data. Alternatively, it may not process all the data, or it may process data that should be left untouched e.g. formulas for totaling data at the bottom of your table. It is worth stressing that you cannot use CTRL+Z to undo the actions of a macro. This is the argument for using the Do While loop featured in the video.
There is a close relative of the Do While loop, which is the Do Until loop. Logically they are interchangeable because you can either say Do While there is data to process, or Do Until there is no more data to process.
The reason we study conditions at the same time as loops is that you may not wish to treat 100 rows in exactly the same way. In the video, negative numbers are changed to zero. This could also be achieved using the formula "=IF(Result<0,0,Result)". Highlighting could be achieved using conditional formatting. The case for using Visual Basic comes if we want to do anything more sophisticated with negative results e.g. delete the rows or move the rows to a different table.
Until you introduce loops and goto statements, it is very easy to follow your code. That is to say that you work through the macro from top to bottom and process each line exactly once. When you can move backwards, it is possible you will get stuck in an infintely repeating sequence. If Excel stops responding, you can always press Escape to debug. Occasionally Excel will crash so please ensure you save your file before running loops.
Tabbing out the various sections of your code, as defined by loops and conditions, can simplify more complex macros. Not only does it make it clear where certain conditions apply, but it also ensures your combination of loops makes logical sense. If an IF statement starts within a certain For/Next loop, it must also end within that loop.
An example would be if a For/Next loop is used to analyze the first 100 rows and the IF statement confirms there is data present, the IF statement compounds on the For/Next loop. That's to say there must be data present and it must fall within the first 100 rows. Therefore, your "End If" statement, has to come before the end of the For/Next loop. Excel will not run a macro until errors of that nature are resolved.

Flavio Maluf is a popular name in Brazil. He being the president of two companies, namely Eucatex and GrandFood, some of the largest companies in the nation. Hard work, education, spirit of learning and great leadership skills have made Maluf who he is today.
Maluf studied at Armando Alvares Penteado Foundation (FAAP), where he graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering. In the 80s, he moved to New York to further his studies, taking an administration course, at the New York University. Perhaps, in preparation of running a company someday.
In the year 1986, he moved back to Brazil and began working at Eucatex. His first worked in the trade sector of this company, before moving to the industrial department. His hard work made him get noticed, and, within a decade, the family decided to appoint him as the new president. In the year 1997, he became Eucatex president, succeeding his uncle.
Since assuming the role of the president of Eucatex, Maluf has been very instrumental in the growth of the company. He has grown Eucatex, to export in over 37 countries. Also, his leadership has been instrumental in Eucatex being rated as the second best manufacturer and distributer of wood fiber in the foreign market.
About Eucatex
Eucatex is the first producer of environmental-friendly and acoustic fiber, in Brazil, utilizing natural Eucalyptus. This family-owned company was founded in the year 1951, but launched their first factory in 1954. This was in Salto in San Paulo state. The company started business, producing ceiling linings and insulating materials that had thermal properties. Then, they would use low-density materials in the manufacture of their products.
Currently, the firm operates two major segments. They have a construction and furniture segment. Their construction segment manufactures and supplies paints, partitions, laminate floors, and doors. On the other hand, the furniture segment produces MDP, Tamburato, and wood fiber plates. They are marked as the largest producer for these furniture products, holding a 16% Brazilian market share for MDP and Tamburato.
Under the leadership of Maluf, the company has expanded to open a new plan in Salto, dealing in the production of T- HDF/MDF. They also, recently, opened another branch in Botucatu City.

MUCH-travelled striker David Gormley has already ensured he will never need to buy a round in any pub in Auchinleck.
Back in 2013 his 78th minute strike saw off Linlithgow Rose and set-up Auchinleck Talbot's tenth Scottish Junior Cup win – cue drinks all round.
And he will be looking to further cement his love-in with the Talbot faithful in this afternoon's Dyslexia Scotland Scottish Junior Cup final against Musselburgh Athletic at Kilmarnock's Rugby Park.
Gormley, who has played for Motherwell, Ayr United, Alloa, Albion Rovers and Elgin City in the seniors and Glenafton Athletic, Kirkintilloch Rob Roy and Talbot in the juniors, has scored goals for them all. He is already over the 20-goal threshold this season, five of these coming during Talbot's run to the final – in which he has also claimed six assists.
But his most important contribution to his side claiming their 13th Junior Cup final appearance came in the semi-final, where he donned the gloves after Talbot backstop Andy Leishman was red-carded, and proceeded to save a penalty, taken by Hurlford's Stewart Kean.
That was two minutes into the second half of the semi-final, second leg and with Talbot hanging on to their two-goal advantage from the first leg, a Hurlford goal then might have swung the tie away from the 'Bot. However, the ten men came back to win 2-1 and take the tie 5-2 on aggregate.
That wasn't the first time Gormley had turned penalty-saving hero. He had previously demonstrated that side of his game whilst 'upstairs' with Alloa, going into goal and saving a penalty from Hamilton Accies' Simon Mensing.
He was at it again last Saturday, in Talbot's last pre-final match, against Irvine Vics. Another red card for Leishman meant Gormley faced a late penalty, but this time he couldn't stop the kick, so Talbot's 5-0 lead became a 5-1 final score.
Gormley, however, is confident he will not be required to don the gloves this afternoon at Rugby Park, as Talbot will have regular reserve keeper Robert Kerr, who was unavailable against Hurlford and Irvine Vics, in their cup final squad.
Gormley is, however, confident that the favourites will justify that ranking with victory, just months after it seemed he would be leaving Talbot. He was all set for another sortie into the senior game with Clyde, and was seemingly certain to step up during the January transfer window, but the deal fell through and Clyde's loss was Talbot's gain.
If Gormley is likely to be a key man for Talbot, they will have to keep a close eye on Musselburgh striker Jordyn Sheerin. The former East Fife, East Stirlingshire and Arbroath hit-man has already scored more than 40 goals this season and he will be the main threat to Talbot's dream of an 11th Scottish Cup win.
Musselburgh, managed by Stevie McLeish, pictured, have been in wretched form, particularly since they dumped Linlithgow Rose out of the Scottish Cup in the semi-final. Since then, they have won just twice in 12 games, but the guys from Olivebank are unconcerned about being cast as the outsiders.
They were similarly under-rated when they faced Talbot in the 2011 final, but took the favourites to extra time before going down to a Talbot team who were mightily relieved to hear the final whistle.
"We're a cup-tie team, we've played our best in cup games this season and, having run Talbot so close in 2011, we mean to do even better today," says Burgh chairman Charlie McGlynn, who would love to have a cup win to celebrate tonight, before he and wife Mary, the club secretary, fly out on holiday tomorrow.
Today's final offers Talbot boss Tommy Sloan the chance to equal legendary predecessor Willie Knox's record of winning the Junior Cup for a fifth time as manager.
Talbot's surprise loss to Shotts in 2012 denied Sloan the chance to equal the unique run of three-in-a-row Scottish Junior Cup victories which Knox achieved between 1986-1988, and it is the memory of that loss to Shotts which drives Sloan on today.
"That result means there is no way we will underestimate Musselburgh today," Sloan stressed.
"They made life awkward for us in 2011. I expect another hard game today, we know they are dangerous opponents and we will be ready," he continued. Sloan isn't concerned about equalling Knox's record: "That sort of stuff is for after you retire," he said. "Today is simply about winning the cup again."
Talbot's last win, in 2013, came at the expense of Linlithgow, in a final dubbed 'the Junior El Clasico', because both teams went into the game unbeaten all season. Today's game hasn't had that element of hype, but it will still be interesting.
Talbot have already won the West Superleague and they are due to face Hurlford in the Ayrshire Cup final – while the Scottish is Musselburgh's solitary shot at glory this season.
Talbot will start as overwhelming favourites, but if 'the Real Madrid of the Juniors' have an Achilles heel, it is they sometimes fall to unranked opponents – Shotts in 2012 and Ardrossan Winton Rovers in the West of Scotland Cup last month being two recent examples.
That is a perceived failing which Musselburgh intend to exploit. They may be outsiders, but Athletic cannot be written-off for the match, which kicks-off at 4.05pm and is live on BBC Alba.

Yes, that's right. At long last this one has burst forth into the blogosphere. Beware. I hereby promise that I will never post anything about how my day went.
Okay, if something worthwhile happens, you'll hear about it. If I want you to. But no pictures of my feet or "I'm so bored!!!1" posts. Seriously.
And no drama. Unless there's something juicy. But.
Mostly, I will use this to talk about the books, movies, photos, music, TV, etc that I've been reading, watching, looking at, listening to, viewing, etc as well as any matters of social importance that cross my mind. Or just random neurons. It's my blog. Thbbpt.
So, tomorrow (or some other day depending on when I feel like it) I will kick this off by talking about the progress I've made on my summer reading list (and yes, I've made progress, shock awe) and some commentary on my most recent visual media endeavors. Alright, it's time to let my brain sleep.

Michael Jackson is dead.
That's why I keep this blog; to bring you late-breaking news like that, which I'm certain you haven't yet heard about anywhere else.
Love him or hate him, no-one can deny that Jackson was a controversial person who will not soon be forgotten. Even his fans and admirers have to admit that the man had more than his share of oddities. Even at the height of his popularity, during the nineteen-eighties, there were those who joked about his outlandish outfits and his infamous single "glitter glove". He seemed dissatisfied with his own appearance, subjecting himself to plastic surgery on several occasions. I've always suspected, and still do suspect, to this day, that his freakish appearance at the time of his death was largely attributable to negative side effects from his earlier plastic surgeries.
Then there was his pet monkey, Bubbles, his hyperbaric oxygen chamber, urban myths that he himself encouraged, such as his alleged purchase of John "The Elephant Man" Merrick's remains... the list goes on and on. Eventually we cross the line from mere eccentricities into dangerous and even sinister behavior. His infamous dangling of his son over the edge of an apartment balcony was ill-considered, at best and, of course, everyone is aware of the accusations of pedophilia and child molestation. To this day, there are those who suspect that Jackson merely bought his way out of those charges.
Say what you will about the man, however, I submit that, when it came to pop music, he had an undeniable talent that ranked among the very best. His songs were unfailingly catchy and his signature dance moves were amazing to behold. Almost every single track on his 1982 album, Thriller, ranked high on the charts and the album as a whole remains the best-selling ever. I suspect there exists nary a North American household that doesn't have a copy of Thriller stashed away on some neglected shelf somewhere, usually right next to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
So goodbye, Michael. Thanks for the music, and may you finally rest in peace. May you be remembered as you deserve to be, for your talent, rather than for your eccentricities.

|Kylan and I 2003 (he was 2 yrs old)
|Deena with Makenzie and Devin in 2003 (they were both 3 yrs old)
2004 was a rough year, my step Dad had just passed away the month before this and I think we were all still in shock but traditions help with consistency in childrens lives!
The recipe we use is from my step-mom Deena and everyone always ooohs and awwws over it but it's all I've ever known!
Deena's Sugar Cookies
3/4 cup shortening
3/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
5 cup flour
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
2 tsp salt
Cream shortening, sugar and butter together, add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Chill for 1 hour then roll out onto floured surface until 1/4" think. Cut out with holiday cutters
Cook at 350 degrees for ONLY 5-7 min. and NO LONGER then 7 min. Cool and decorate!
The pictures are from Christmas Eve's in the past (please ignore my messy kitchen because we were having too much fun baking).
|2006 this was the year we learned that Makenzie's hair could actually be curly if we tried hard enough...LOL! She had to have spiral curls for cheerleading and it was a pain in the patootie!
|2007 was the year that Kylan broke his little arm and was in a camo cast!
|2008, Kylan wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty!
|2008, Gigi helped us with the cookies that year!
|2008 this was the year Makenzie discovered that she liked to decorate cookies, cakes, cupcakes, etc
|2009 the kids can almost make the cookies and decorate them without me now!
Makenzie's REALLY into decorating and cooking in 2009 check out the flour on her face!
This year 2010 she has asked for cake decorating supplies for Christmas...who knew they were so expensive??? Not me! Thank goodness for Hobby Lobby coupons!
I hope you enjoyed our Christmas Cookies tradition thru the years!
