Jamaica Citizen Sentenced To For Possessing A Firearm As An Illegal Alien
Orlando, Florida - U.S. District Judge John Antoon, II, sentenced Omar O'Neill Lewis last week to 57 months in federal prison for possession of a firearm by an illegal alien. He pleaded guilty to the charge on August 13, 2012.
According to court documents, an Orange County Sheriff's deputy observed Lewis attempting to conceal a handgun under a parked car in a parking lot. The handgun was recovered and identified as a FN Herstal 5.7 mm. The gun was loaded with a round in the chamber and 16 rounds in the magazine. Lewis was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. At the time of his arrest, Lewis identified himself to deputies using a fictitious name. He also produced an illegally obtained Florida identification card and Florida driver's license. Through a search warrant for the collection of DNA samples, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's laboratory in Orlando confirmed the DNA collected from the firearm matched DNA collected from Lewis.
Lewis was later identified as a national and citizen of Jamaica. On April 3, 2001, an immigration judge had ordered Lewis removed from the United States. He was physically removed from the United States on June 28, 2001. Lewis reentered the United States on or about July 25, 2005, without the permission of the Attorney General or Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He was physically removed again on February 23, 2006. Lewis made other attempts to enter the United States using fictitious identities. On October 5, 2009, in the Southern District of Florida, Lewis was sentenced to 46 months' imprisonment for illegal re-entry. On May 25, 2010, he was sentenced to 19 months' imprisonment for false impersonation of a United States citizen.
This case was investigated by the Orange County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations. It was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Myrna Amelia Mesa.

Panama Canal expansion workers strike over pay
Several thousand workers at a major project to widen the Panama Canal are on indefinite strike over pay.
The strikers are demanding higher wages, as well as back pay.
The consortium behind the $5.25bn (£3.4bn) project says its salaries are above average but acknowledged there had been payroll problems.
The Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, handles some 5% of world trade with about 14,000 ships passing through each year.
Workers at the site downed tools on Monday.
They are demanding an increase in the basic pay from $2.90 to $4.90 an hour, with skilled workers getting a rise from $3.52 to $7.10.
They also say they are due overtime payments and are calling for an improvement in safety.
The United Group (GUPC), the multinational consortium in charge of the project, said it was working to correct some mistakes with its payroll.
It also said it abided by Panamanian regulations.
The GUPC said it was ready for talks but noted that its wages were above the minimum paid in the rest of Panama.
The Panama expansion project involves building a third set of locks to enable some of the world's biggest ships to pass through.
The project is due for completion in 2014.

St. Mary Foundation Exceeds $1.25 million 40th Anniversary Campaign Goal
2010-12-24 · By Editor
The St. Mary Medical Center Foundation, celebrating 40-years of supporting the work of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word and hospital programs, successfully completed its "40th Anniversary Campaign" by raising $1.4 million against a goal of $1.25 million. Lou Cassani, Campaign Chair, announced the achievement at a recent meeting, and noted that it was accomplished in record time – 9 months. "Approximately 80 campaign-specific gifts were received from St. Mary Board members, friends, grateful patients, area corporations and foundations to support the mission-focused programs of the Sisters and St. Mary, as well as the hospital's Centers of Excellence in Cardiology, Bariatrics, Orthopedic Surgery and Obstetrics" said Mr. Cassani. A special thanks to the Evalyn M. Bauer Foundation was acknowledged, which matched all $5,000 gifts to the Campaign and to the Foundation's annual auction.
Leo Vander Lans, the St. Mary Medical Center Foundation Chair stated, "2010 has been a very good year. In addition to successfully concluding the campaign, the Foundation has experienced record net receipts for our 30th Annual Gala Dinner & Auction, several significant six- and seven-figure planned gifts from long-time friends of St. Mary, a grant award of $1.9 million to expand the hospital's Internal Medicine Residency Program and a $1.1 million grant to support patients being assisted by the hospital's C.A.R.E. (Comprehensive Aids Resource Education) Program."
Chris DiCicco, St. Mary Medical Center's President/CEO, shared, "The Foundation's success enables St. Mary to be not just a good hospital and community resource, but a great one. With the continued help of the Foundation, we plan to expand our historic commitment to greater Long Beach. The legacy of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word demands no less".

Agfa Graphics launches Advantage N-TR HS platesetter for high-volume newspaper printers
Wednesday, October 01, 2014
Press release from the issuing company
New high-production engine hits speeds of 350 plates per hour, helping publishers extend editorial and advertising deadlines without sacrificing quality.
Agfa Graphics today introduced a new high-speed platesetter for the high-volume newspaper market. The Advantage N-TR HS (Trolley Load, High-Speed) runs at speeds up to 350 plates per hour. Thanks to the increased speed, the Advantage N-TR HS can extend newspaper publishers' editorial and advertising deadlines, giving them the ability to deliver the latest news and last-minute offers to their daily readers.
The increased speed will also help newspaper publishers replace multiple, slower CtP engines with fewer faster ones. This results in savings on new CtP investments as well as other costs such as processing equipment or punch and bending machines. In addition, less processing equipment drastically reduces the labor cost for cleaning and refill. Finally, fewer CtP engines also mean less required floor space.
"Agfa Graphics again shows its commitment to the newspaper industry by offering state-of-the-art CtP technology that meets the requirements of the premium level newspaper market segment," said Emiel Sweevers, Global marketing manager for newspaper engines, Agfa Graphics. "Like all segments in the newspaper industry, the high-volume segment is also looking for improved production efficiency, cost savings and automation."
Sweevers continues: "With Agfa Graphics, newspaper publishers have a partner with expertise in hardware, complete workflow solutions and consumables, covering the entire pre-press production area. We continue to develop solutions that enable our customers to face the current market challenges."
The Advantage N-TR HS features a trolley to transport plates from a safelight environment to the CtP imager. This gives customers who cannot switch to yellow safelight in the room where the CtP device is installed, the flexibility to more easily and efficiently load the plates in a separate yellow safelight environment.

People of the Jewish religion practice in synagogues as their official place of worship. Synagogue is a Greek word that means "assembly."
In addition to worshiping at synagogues, those of the Jewish religion also practice at home. Within Judaism, it is believed that it is not the place of worship that is sacred. Rather, it is what people do while they are within the building that is sacred. Because of this, home plays a large role in where those of the Jewish religion worship. On the Sabbath, the day of rest, many start their day by worshiping while in the comfort of their own homes.

LOVE - (All you need is…)
Where would we be without love? More to the point where would our writing be without it? For in one way or another it features in most works of fiction. When I say love I'm not just talking about the romantic notion of love, I am talking about the emotion of caring for something or someone in an unconditional way.
For me the notion of love is intrinsically linked to its opposite, hate. This dichotomy is the engine which drives most rollicking good stories. There is nothing readers like more than to ultimately see love (and other similar admirable qualities) triumph over evil. Whilst I may not write particularly romantic stories, love always features (in some form or another) in all my fiction.Love is one of the most basic of human emotions and we have all experienced it at some point in our lives. It is so strong that artists over the ages have written about its power in songs and verse. It is the very bedrock of human happiness and without it we would all be hard put to survive.
The most primitive and basic form of love is that of mother and child. Love is the protective umbrella that we are all reared under and mother love can - quite literally - achieve almost impossible tasks.
What a fabulous premise to underscore a great story! And what a great adversarial emotion to stand against a destructive protagonist…
In my novel writing, 'love conquers all' is a frequent theme – it may be parental love, it may be romantic love or it may even be love of a belief, place or group of people. 'Love thy neighbour' is also a common theme when one or more people are racing to save a population or even the whole human race. I have often heard of great sacrifice in order to save one single pet! So love at its best is a very admirable human quality that most of us understand.
Whilst some may think it a simplistic theme, it is a mighty powerful ally in the structure of a modern story. And far from being solely the thematic concern of the romance genre, it ought (in my opinion) to suffuse all our fiction.
The antagonism of love and hate makes for rich pickings in terms of rising tension and suspense and, as fellow human beings, we can all empathise with and cheer for the main characters who think it worth fighting for.
The story is generally richer for a good dose of love and we readily identify with the emotion and therefore the impact of the story is increased.
So do you use love (especially unconditional love) in your writing? Do you think it enhances your story?

Interview with Andrew Lloyd Fry of Celebration Symphony Orchestra, 3 months after Fry's release of The End For Which The World Was Made, Which Can Be Listened To Here: https://celebrationsymphonyorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/the-end-for-which-the-world-was-made
From October 2016, S. Service (Moffat Street Music)
S. Service:
Hi. Who are you? Where are you from?
Andrew Lloyd Fry:
My name is Andrew Lloyd Fry. I am 26 years old and live with my wife in Kansas City.
Listening to "Functional Music Vol. 1" made me hopeful for the future of music. It felt inspired by truth, mixed with contemporary technology, AND complete and skillful in regards to musical fluency and historical significance.
Originally this was not something I was planning to release, I was just going to record a couple of ambient pieces and just share them with my family and friends. But by the time I was done I was pretty happy with the collection so I decided to release them together. I have always been super amazed at the power of ambient music (at least its effects on me). Oftentimes it is quite simple and drawn out but for me it's some of the music I have the greatest emotional connection with.
When listening to "The End For Which The World Was Made", I felt connected to prophecy; I was energized to run or do a handstand; I was satisfied to sit and rest. And yet, I know nothing about your background. I cannot find an online presence, save for BandCamp. Can you explain this lapse? Am I simply unfamiliar? (ß totally possible).
The record is only a couple of months old, and I am still working on the website and stuff like that. Stuff moves kind of slow when you do it all yourself.
What is your musical background? What instruments do you play? Do you produce and mix your own music?
My first instrument was the violin at age 10. But it wasn't till I was in high school that I started playing guitar and writing music. And that's when it really came alive for me. In college I took all the music classes I could (ear training, music theory). I started playing around on my brother's keyboard when I was younger, and at that point it was actually the main instrument I played.
I did pretty much all the instruments on the album, other than some of the drum and electric guitar parts. Yeah, I recorded and edited the music all out of my home. I don't know if I will do that again. It was incredibly time consuming. But I got it done.
Am I correct to assume that you write the music yourself?
Yes I do.
I am very curious to know (reveal if you want…) how you begin your music writing process? Lyrics, melody, instrument lines?
When I started, I knew I wanted to make albums that felt like a concise whole. Like one piece of art. So, I started working on the general themes of the album as a whole. I take each idea and just free write pages and pages. Then I go back over it later seeing what I liked. Then I sit down on the piano and work on the harmony of the song till I come up with something I like. Then I kind of put them together. But recently I have been trying to break this mold. I really think changing your approach and order really is a good method to keep generating interesting and original content.
Is this your first musical project/name under which you've released albums?
I have been a part of a couple of other projects throughout the years, but this is the first thing that has an official release.
It seems that your music is inspired by an eclectic grouping of insights from here and there; a body of thoughts and movements that range from up to down, stopped to rushed; rested to flying. Besides making music, what do you do that inspires the formal production of these albums?
I am definitely a very avid music listener. I try to intentionally find inspiration in a variety of musical worlds, which undeniably has a huge impact on what I make. Other than that I spend time in nature and read a variety of books.
Do you have any words to share here about your faith? Your walk?
Every human being wants life and that is exactly what God is, and what he has to offer us. As far as how my faith relates to my music, I really find making music about [it] the most exciting thing, the most exciting and fitting thing I could do with music.
Are you producing more music anytime soon? Now?
I am about half way done writing my next album. Also me and my wife are planning to record a side project together of more simple folk songs. I am hoping both of these are finished in 2017 but we will see.
Do you work with other musicians and/or artists? Do you have a label or are you on a record label?
I have a very musical family. Two of my brothers did some parts on the album. No, I am just releasing everything myself.
The duration of each song on "The End For Which The World Was Made" is quite long compared to more common song lengths (they are between 10 and 16 minutes each). This almost allows each song, being roughly 3 times the length convention prepares our ears for, to take a III act structure. Each has room to explore great ideas, and then great ideas ABOUT the great ideas. It is like a serial TV show vs. a feature length film; with more time spent in the work, the audience can engage with your story at a deeper level – at a more serious level – at a more specific level. How much thought have you put into the duration of each song? And, is there a specific reason why they are long, or is the length secondary to the message (aka, it results naturally as you serve to create the song)?
Well, I did do that very intentionally and there were several reasons for having long song lengths. The first one being wanting to get outside of the box of the three minute pop song. There is nothing wrong with a song being three minutes but I don't see why 99.99999 percent of all songs need to be that long. Also, I really liked the idea of having time to develop and go some where in the music both lyrically and musically. I think it can be really satisfying when a section comes back that you heard seven minutes ago. And lastly I feel like it is a form, for me at least, that really forces me to be a lot more creative. Playing the same four chords over and over for 15 minutes really won't work any more.
Aren't you glad? Life is beautiful and God is good.
Yes I am very happy to be alive.

Statement of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in Support of Stop Iran Now Rally
"As thousands gather today in New York to decry the hateful and inciteful actions of the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I am proud to join them by adding my voice to their efforts. As we know too well, the President of Iran has made a series of incendiary, outrageous comments, questioning the Holocaust and calling for Israel to be wiped off the map. Israel's right to exist – and exist in safety – must never be put in question. To deny the Holocaust places the President of Iran in company with the most despicable bigots and historical revisionists. These hateful statements are beyond the pale of international discourse and acceptability.
His request to visit to Ground Zero, the site of the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil in our nation's history — a request that was properly denied —was unacceptable as Iran continues to refuse to renounce and end its support of terrorism. President Ahmadinejad's outrageous comments and support for terrorism is even more disturbing when viewed in the context of the regime's quest to acquire nuclear weapons; his anti-American, anti-Israeli rhetoric underscores the seriousness of the threat. United States policy in this regard must be clear and unequivocal. We cannot and must not permit Iran to build or acquire nuclear weapons.
We can and we must continue to speak up. I commend all of those raising their voices to raise awareness of the Iranian regime's policies and statements during President Ahmadinejad's visit. We must continue to work together to put pressure on Iran until it ends its anti-American and anti-Semitic policies of hate, ends its nuclear weapons program, renounces sponsorship of terrorism, supports Middle East peace, and plays a constructive role in stabilizing Iraq."

Parents who love their children typically "want what's best" for them. This can translate into providing opportunities to explore interests, or enabling time and resources with patience while our sons test various skills and abilities. Inevitably, it also means providing coaching and guidance – after all, as adults, we have been around the block a couple of times more frequently than our sons and we should share our acquired wisdom and insights.
I think we need to be careful; however, to distinguish how we perceive "what's best" for our sons – is "best" aligned with what we see on TV, read in books, or receive from God's Word?
Naturally (because we love them), it's normal to want our children to never go hungry, be homeless, or become ill with the lack of resources that could heal them — however, it's easy to tip that scale too far to the other extreme. We can easily slip to defining wealth, mansions, the praise of men, and perfect health through perfecting one's own body in physical sport and training as the goal for our sons' own lives. This would be unfortunate for many reasons:
- our sons could be confused in how to distinguish doing their very best at their appointed task versus doing their very best to acquire material goods or conditions (stuff, wealth, house on the hill, perfect 6-pack Abs, vanity wife, etc.) as artificial measuring posts (i.e. running hard to win the prize of the true calling, versus running hard to fill a trophy case of trinkets)
- our sons could be confused as to the origin of our love — pride in their earthly accomplishments, versus joy in seeing how they help, serve, lead others in relationships motivated by gratitude for all God has already accomplished on our behalf (salvation from slavery and damnation).
Surely, the best possible life for our children is defined by their response to God's commands (obedience), receipt of His grace upon confession and repentance for restoration, and to do good works – not to earn reconciliation, but out of gratitude and as an expression of love towards others. In this case, I want them to seek God, run the race as to win (for Him), and regardless of the outcome, know I love them as gifts from God (Psalm 127:3).
Consider these passages as admonitions to our sons (each will open in a new window, each from NASB unless otherwise noted):
- 1 Tim 6:8-12 – If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content. But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But flee from these things, you man of God, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, perseverance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
- Matthew 5:16 – Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
- Ephesians 2:10 – For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
- 1 Cor 3: 10-15 – According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it. For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work. If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. If any man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.
- 2 Cor 5:9-10 – Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
- 1 John 2:28 – Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
- Ephesians 4:1-3 (TLB) – I beg you—I, a prisoner here in jail for serving the Lord—to live and act in a way worthy of those who have been chosen for such wonderful blessings as these. Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Try always to be led along together by the Holy Spirit and so be at peace with one another.
Give your sons (and daughters) a big hug; talk with them, spend time sharing insights from the Word. Let them know you love them and want them to follow God's leading for their lives. It may have eternal consequences.

Tripwire Interactive has announced today that its highly successful co-op sci-fi horror FPS game, Killing Floor 2, will be launching globally on November 18, 2016 for the PC and PS4.
In Killing Floor 2, players will descend into continental Europe where the outbreak caused by Horzine Biotech's failed experiment has quickly spread and gained unstoppable momentum. The gameplay takes place just one month after the events of the first Killing Floor , where the specimen clones are everywhere and "civilization is in disarray." Communications have failed, governments have collapsed, and military forces have been "systematically eradicated" worldwide.
With everything seeming hopeless, one group of civilians and mercenaries have banded together to combat the outbreak and established privately funded operation bases across Europe.
The game features "Visceral Gore" with a brand new blood system which will allow players to "send entrails, severed limbs, and blood flying as they wade through hordes of enemies." If caught, enemies can do the same to the player, and "rip them, and their entire party limb from limb."
The game also features 6 player co-op, solo play, and 12 player PvP Versus Survival where "two teams take turns playing Humans vs. Zeds in a pair of short matches."
New enemies will be added to the game along with a unique blend of weaponry ranging from assault rifles to "Mad Scientist" weapons. Along with all this will be a new and expanded perk system made for different play styles, and a reinvented "Brutal Melee Combat' system which allows players to control the type of melee attacks they can perform to bring about "bone breaking, crippling attacks to Zeds."
The first game in the series has "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews on Steam, while the early access version of the second game was "Mostly Positive" reviews so far.
Are you interested in Killing Floor 2? Have you been waiting for it to exit Early Access? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

I'm pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.
Lauren Oliver delivers an electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed New York Times bestseller, Delirium. This riveting, brilliant novel crackles with the fire of fierce defiance, forbidden romance, and the sparks of a revolution about to ignite.
Remember how I didn't really love Delirium? How I couldn't connect with the characters and found the plot kind of dull? Well, that is most certainly not the case with Pandemonium! I absolutely adored it!
Lena was a much more interesting characters now that she's been un-brainwashed, but I still found it difficult to connect with her in the beginning. Luckily there were so many other spectacular characters to fill in the holes before the end, by which Lena had grown into a powerful heroine.
The setting was drastically different, but in a good way. In Delirium, the world they live in feels white-washed and drab, whereas the world in Pandemonium felt warm and vivid and exciting.
The way the book was written in two alternating perspectives was really different. It tells the story through two separate storylines that eventually meet up somewhere in the middle. The way they wove into each other flawlessly was beautiful.
And speaking of beautiful, have you ever reading anything written by Lauren Oliver? Because she is a word genius. Her writing is perfect and delicious.

- Closure: Cork
This wine is made from a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The alcohol level is relatively low and yet whilst there are medicinal mint flavour components present, the strong leafiness associated with under ripe Cabernet appears to be missing. Medium body, much, lighter than expected from this style, but understandable given the low levels of alcohol. On the nose some leafy and cool liver oil aroma emerge, to be followed by medicinal mint, stewed fruit and plum flavours. Soft palate with very fine tannins, good balance and a aftertaste of mint, stewed fruit and plum. A wine that may take some getting used to, particularly on the nose. Cellar 2-3 years.

Katie Couric may have hit a new low on Monday night's CBS Evening News—though I'm sure there are plenty of other broadcasts of hers that could be nominated.
In a story designed to evoke sympathy for an "undocumented" husband and wife who have given birth to 10 US citizens since they came here illegally, and who are now heading to Colorado before they get caught, Couric lamented:
Nearly two out of three Americans see illegal immigration as a very serious problem. More than three quarters say the U.S. should do more to keep illegal immigrants from crossing the border. Hundreds of thousands of them now live in Arizona. But as Kelly Cobiella reports, many no longer feel welcome.
What? Isn't that the point? Arizona had the Welcome mat out for a generation, and now the actual CITIZENS of Arizona feel like doormats.
But check out the tone of the report filed by Kelly Cobella. Why, people who do business with illegals are hurt by this too—and they are citizens! Boo hoo!
COBIELLA: Two years ago, this park was filled with families like the Quintanas every weekend. Arizona was home to more than half a million illegal immigrants. Since then, at least 100,000 have left.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: On this block alone, we have 20 vacancies at least.
COBIELLA: Kyle Kester (ph) is the Quintana`s landlord. He`s lost seven tenants in the past week.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is hurting not just illegals. I was born and raised in the United States, and it`s hurting me now.
COBIELLA: Graciela`s best friend left to California with her family on Saturday.
Did you get to see her yesterday before she left, Graciela? No?
Manuela knows she broke the law when she came here 15 years ago.
Do you see yourself as a criminal?
"No," she says. "A criminal is someone who kills. I just want to work."
The family packed up before dawn today and headed north to Colorado. Manuela says she`s lost hope in this state. She thinks she`ll find it again in another.
Kelly Cobiella, CBS News, Phoenix.
This is too ham-handed and obvious to even be labeled propaganda.

Bobby Brown weds Alicia Etheredge, four months after death of ex-wife Whitney Houston
Singer, Bobby Brown married his partner & manager, Alicia Etheredge yesterday in front of family and close friends at a traditional Hawaiian ceremony in Honolulu. His daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown snubbed the event which came months after her mother Whitney Houston's tragic death. The pair's three-year-old son Cassius acted as a ring bearer and he and his dad wore matching red suits and Adidas trainers. Bobby's older children Landon, 23, La'Princia, 22, and Bobby Jr., 19, were all in attendance. Brown and Etheredge became engaged on stage in 2010 – three years after Brown's divorce from Whitney Houston. Here are a few pictures from the event
Whitney Houston died of accidental drowning in a Beverly Hills hotel bathtub in February. White powder and drug paraphernalia were found in the bathroom where she died. Brown and Houston were married for 15 years, during which Houston developed a heavy addiction to cocaine, marijuana and crack. In an April TV interview, Brown hit back at suggestions that he got Houston hooked on drugs, or that he somehow played a role in her death. But his relationship with his daughter has been unstable for some years now.

Switching gears
Last night I switched gears, so we speak. My bike intervals went from 2/1s to 5/1s, which means pedaling hard for 5 minutes, rest for 1 minute and repeat 6 times. With a 5 min warmup and 5 min cooldown, I got a nice 45min workout. By the third interval I was starting to wonder whether my coach wanted me to reach my max heart rate or was doing some sort of evil experiment on me. Of course it didn't help that I chose level 10 on the bike to add some nice resistance and tried to stay above 100rpms for all 5 minutes at each interval. As a result I was sweating buckets of water and was about to pass out by the end, starving! I finished by biking 20.2km with an average pace of 2.14min/km. I felt proud, thus a blog post.

This summer I was talking to the nephew of a former premier of a major Canadian province (equivalent to the governor of a state). His uncle had been in the news quite a lot back in the 1980s, even here in the States, and, as a fiscal conservative governing over a recession, he made a number of painful cuts to the budget. He was vilified for his actions.
The premier died a couple of years ago and his mind had started to slip in his last years. Towards the very end of his life, he was re-living the trauma of the attacks on him by the press and political opponents. Of all the great things he accomplished, his power and fame, what shaped his last days was the struggle of his worst days. So powerful were those memories that they slipped from memory into what he was actually experiencing. All over again.
It's worth remembering that these are real people in office or running for it. You don't have to hate them to decide not to vote for them. And it's not just that they are real people. That hate that could so easily consume you is a real emotion.

Without color, our world would be listless and dull, which is why the color-infused Design Army Color Consumption photo shoot is so interesting and fantastical.
Just like a fantasy world where nothing seems to be real and everything is whimsical and magical, the subjects of Color Consumption are thriving off of bright colors. In one image, two people are desperately trying to catch pink and blue balloons in their nets, while in another, a woman is hooked up to IV bags full of orange liquid, literally soaking up the color. While the people are brightly colored, their surroundings are not, making it seem as though they sucked up all the color around them.
The Design Army Color Consumption photoshoot is quirky and surreal.

Salad, Pasta, another Cake & Curry Cauliflower Carrot Soup
Anyway, the delicious salad I had last night sure did remind me that all the washing and chopping and mixing and roasting is simply worth it!
Roasted zucchini, eggplant & orange bell pepper on a bed of iceberg & lamb's lettuce, some cucumber slices, tomatoes, red onion & avocado chunks (I actually prefer avocados in form of guacamole... oh well, next time), drizzled with a balsamic yogurt dressing. Oh and some Nachos with mexican salsa.
Now onto my dad's cake. He and my mom enjoyed it a lot! Of course so did I ;)
A layer of raspberry perserves, banana slices and chocolate mousse.
I didn't have any fresh berries to add so I simply used pieces of cake crust, spread them with more chocolate mousse and arranged them on top. Some chopped chocolate on the sides & on top and it could've passed as the mouthwatering Starbucks Chocolate Fudge Cake I used to have quite often ♥
A few days ago I wanted something quick, so here goes Kamut pasta in olive tapenade mixed with broccoli & scallions sautéed in garlic. And a few drops of soy yogurt. Yumm!
Last week I made a Curry Cauliflower Carrot Soup with potatoes & red lentils! This was hearty & filling, yet light.
I ate it 3 days in a row yet never managed to take a picture. Even my boyfriend loved this!
I'll have to increase my soup cooking skills and make more of them.
I used about 6 medium potatoes & 2 carrots cut into small chunks and about 1/4 cup red lentils that I cooked in broth.
Midway cooking I added about 8-10 cauliflower florets, cut into smaller pieces, nutritional yeast, curry, ginger, garam masala, nutmeg, chili, paprika, salt and pepper.
I added 1/4 - 1/3 cup soy milk and puréed 2 cups of the solids in my blender and poured it back into the pot.
With a slice of whole wheat toast spread with a layer of olive tapenade, this was a perfect dinner!
WOW, that cake looks so professional!!
And I love yogurt on my pasta!! Especially in the summer.

No worries - salads take a long time for me to make too :0)
Oh man, that cake!! Lizzy, you need to stop tempting me with all these desserts - you KNOW I have a sweet tooth, with all the baking I do!! :0D
- 1. Juli 2008 um 15:48
- Jennifer (of Veg*n Cooking) hat gesagt…
Dicing, slicing, and roasting might take awhile, but it is well worth the time. Just take a look at that picture of your salad. I want it now!
And what a lucky dad you have, I would be honored to have one of your gorgeous cakes, you are so talented.
That pasta and broccoli dish sounds simple and delicious.
If all goes well at the farmer's market this weekend, I am going to try my hands at making homemade falafel, and if I do I'm going to make your vegan tzatziki. I'm still super thrilled you posted that recipe. I hope I can find the needed ingredients at the market this weekend.

- Alice (in Veganland) hat gesagt…
I have the same problem with salads: I think they take too long. Actually, they don't, and they can be soooo good! Just look at yours!
And I don't even want to talk about the cake ;-)
- 1. Juli 2008 um 19:18
That cake is amazingly gorgeous and professional looking! Wow--I am super impressed! What recipe did you use?!
I love salads :o) They are SO worth the time and effort!

- Tuimeltje hat gesagt…
I just went through a few days worth of your posts, and I'm all hungry now. Good thing I'm about to have dinner!
If you open a vegan bakery in Berlin, I have one more reason to visit that city. I've been wanting to go there ever since one of my German teachers waxed poetic about the city, and after finding out about some of the vegan stuff there, well, I can't not go, can I?
- 2. Juli 2008 um 18:30
I'm currently on food ban because I have an appointment tomorrow morning that requires a fast so I am seriously regretting looking at this post. Those are some of the most delicious looking foods ever. I really wish you would open a restaurant right next door to my house.

That cake is awesome! I tend to keep my salads very simple, and spend most of my time and effort making the dressing.
- 3. Juli 2008 um 14:15
- Lizzy hat gesagt…
Romina - Thanks! I spent A LOT of time trying to get it coated in frosting because the second layer kept swishing away due to the slippy jam-banana action inbetween =p
Veggiegirl - Sigh, good to know ;)
Aww man believe me I wish I'd be able to give you a taste of everything I make because there are too little people willing to eat for the masses I wish I could produce!
Jennifer - So true!
Aww, thank you *blushes* yeah he really appreciated it and there's nothing better than having people smile and 'mhh' between bites! my best friend was even better, she was like "seriously NO egg? how does it hold together so well?" "there's NO margarine in that mousse?" gotta love it when people are positively surprised that a delicious baked good is vegan.
Ohh wonderful! Hope yours will stick together (unlike mine ha ha). Mhhh, can I stay with you for the weekend? ;)
About the tzaziki, I think frsh parsley would round it up nicely!
Alice - Ha ha I KNOW, it doesn't take more than 20 minutes (mostly) yet that time span seems endless!
Courtney - Thanks a lot! I used Vcon's lower-fat chocolate bundt cake recipe and VCTOTW's chocolate mousse recipe.
Cecilia - Ha ha, aww I didn't mean to do that. I'm in your situation all the time though when I check out other blogs. I want to eat everything I see =p
Just me - Thanks! I'd even let you eat some of the batter ;)
Tuimultje - He he, thank you =)
And you really should come here. Call me and we'll explore all the vegan diner's here! It's about time I finally do that.
lighterportions - So sorry to hear that! You should treat yourself with a cake after the appointment =)
Cookiemouse - Thanks a lot!
Yeah I guess I should do that, too. Somehow I'm not very good with dressings and I definitely need practice since it's the dressing that matters most! Do you maybe have any favorites you can recommend?
- 3. Juli 2008 um 14:38

wow, that pasta looks wonderful!
as does that cake, I mean seriously, WOW. It looks SO dense and SO fudgey, it's almost illegal. :O !

Air conditioners industry has changed significantly over the past few years. Though the main function is still the same, there are many other added function than only cooling the air. There are more things you need to understand before you make decision to buy one. I will write a quick list on what are important to look for when you ought to purchase air conditioner.
BTU Output
Every air conditioner is designed with different cooling capacity, which often called BTU (British Thermal Unit). You need to choose carefully which BTU output is considered proper size to cool your room. Because if you get the wrong size, you cannot send it back to the store you bought the unit. Greater BTU are made for greater room size. That's why if you run bigger BTU size than what your room needed, the AC will cycle off too often and may leave humidity. But if it's too small, the AC will work too hard while still not adequately cool the room. Though many air conditioner company always mention how many square footage its products can handle, they usually overrated it by 1,000 or even more BTUs. I suggest you to buy 1,000 BTUs more than what the company suggested.
Chassis Type
There are 2 models of chassis you need to know.
- Fixed Chassis. The most popular model, and usually lighter. It's a typical window air conditioner that you usually know.
- Slide-Out Chasis. This model usually called through the wall air conditioner. It is usually installed in through a wall sleeve, but this can be sometimes used in normal window application. It offers simplicity for you to do maintenance and replacement of your window air conditioner.
It's a standard feature you have to look when buying home appliance. At least you need to look for one year warranty including parts and labor.
Variable Speed Fan
Having this feature can help to reduce fan noise and also increase efficiency system. Look for 3 settings minimum.
Adjustable or Oscillatting Louvers
This will help direct the wind to where you want it. However if you bought window air conditioner, you need to place it carefully, since it's not really good to spread out the wind to any direction.
Digital Display and Electronic Controls
Having digital display, will give an ease to control the temperature and many other setting, because usually an air conditioner with digital display will be supported with remote control. It's most needed when you have one big room.
Filters and Air Purifier
Filters need to stay clean, in order for air conditioner to work efficiently. That's why you need to look for washable filters feature. Don't bother buying an air conditioner that hard to clean and wash. Though sometimes you need to replace the filters, at least it's not too often.
Some products are boasting their ionic cleaning and air purifier. Ionizing air can help your filters to stay clean for more times. If your unit got an air purifier function, you should make sure your room vacuumed regularly, in order to ensure optimal cleanliness.
24 hour Timer
Being able to set automatically when your air conditioner will run and when it off, will help to maintain the efficiency of your electricity bills. Though some unit only offer 12 hour timer, I suggest you to look for 24 hour timer.
Dehumidifier Functionality
Some air conditioning unit offers dehumidifier functionality which are very helpful feature during late Spring or early Fall. At that times, cooling your home is not always necessary, that's why this feature can provide extended comfort.
Quiet Mode
I think mostly people put an air conditioner on during their sleeping time. Having a quiet whispering noise off course are much better than loud noisy voice. Some units are equipped with this feature, which ensure sleeping comfort for you.
Heat Pump Mode
Usually big BTU units have heat pump mode, which can run reverse mode than most air conditioner do. During winter, having this kind of air conditioner is a fortune.
That's all from me, I hope these tips on what to look for when you buy an air conditioner, can help you deciding which one will perfectly suit for your needs.

It is more common for children to develop an earache, but adults can suffer from them as well. Although rarely serious, earaches can be miserable and extremely painful. When adults develop an ear infection, it is usually one of two categories: acute middle ear infections or outer ear infections. If you believe you are suffering from an earache, read below to find out the differences and where to seek treatment.
Outer Ear Infections aka Swimmer's Ear
Commonly known as swimmer's ear, an outer ear infection commonly affects swimmers who have been exposed to germs that grow in warm, moist conditions. Symptoms of an outer ear infection include ear redness, itchiness inside the ear, drainage from the ear, pain when moving the head and a fever.
If you're suffering from an outer ear infection, it can usually be treated with antibiotic eardrops. Depending on how severe the infection is, a doctor may need to remove some pus and debris from inside the ear. To avoid swimmer's ear, try drying your ears with a blow dryer (on the lowest setting) after you've been swimming.
Middle Ear Infections
Although most common in children, middle ear infections can plague adults as well. Any time fluid or bacteria gets trapped inside the ear, it leaves the ear at risk of an infection. A middle ear infection can be identified by a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear, hearing loss, balance problems, ear pain, fever and drainage from the ear.
Most of the time, this type of ear infection can be easily treated; however, if you suffer from regular earaches, you should see a doctor to determine the root of the problem. To avoid middle ear infections, try to avoid cigarette smoke, don't clean your ears with Q-tips and take a decongestant when time you have a cold, as suggested by your doctor.
If you suffer from recurrent ear infections, consider seeking medical care at Denton Regional Urgent Care. We offer convenient access to the expert care you need right when you need it, even after hours or on the weekend.
Disclaimer: Patients' health can vary. Always consult with a medical professional before taking medication, making health-related decisions or deciding if medical advice is right for you.

Having problems with your Rainbow 75th Anniversary Canister Vacuum ?
I replaced the powerhead drive belt. Now (2 times) while vacuuming the powerhead motor appears to run backwards. Because the metal pully which has left hand threads on it will backout / unscrew it self.
Prior to this belt rerplacement it functioned properly.
Thank You
Answers :
Look at your power head motor. If you see a fiberglass looking sleeve on the shaft where the belt attaches to it, you need to remove that. You can slip it off, chip it off, or break it off piece by piece. You can usually use pliers and break it into pieced until you get it all off. It could also have a metal sleeve or a plastic or rubber sleeve on it. You will be able to tell if it has any sleeve on it. If it does remove what ever sleeve that it has. Tighten the brushroll pulley snugly tight. That should do it.

I replaced the powerhead drive belt. Now (2 times) while vacuuming the powerhead motor appears to run backwards. Because the metal pully which has left hand threads on it will backout / unscrew it self. Prior to this belt rerplacement it functioned properly. Thank You Bob
Look at your power head motor. If you see a fiberglass looking sleeve on the shaft where the belt attaches to it, you need to remove that. You can slip it off, chip it off, or break it off piece by piece. You can usually use pliers and break it into ... Rainbow 75th Anniversary Canister Vacuum

I have a bosch bagless jet 12 amps/1450 W which I got secondhand. the switch to operate the powerhead (the rug brush) no longer gives me any results.

Windtunnel belt I have a new Hoover Windtunnel canister. The belt keeps coming off. It happened a couple weeks ago (several times after putting the belt back on) so I assumed I might need a new belt as it might have dried out at the store. I ordered new belts and today I used it for about an hour and the belt came off again, twice. There doesn't seem to be anything to hold the belt on the stem as it seems to slip off.

The powerhead will turn until you touch it down on the carpet then the belt just spins (burning rubber smell). Is there supposed to be a fitting around the metal shaft opposite the powerhead or does the belt ride on the metal shaft?

Hi my proheat bissell 7901 stopped pumping water to the floor, but it pumps water from the hand hose. I read the manual and followed how to check belt and the flat belt on right side of shampooer is fine and I turned on and it turns and so do the brushes at the bottom of the machine. I was reading online and I guess there's two belts on this machine? where can I find the other belt to see if it needs replacing. I guess it's a ribbed belt? that is the water pump belt?

Canister powerhead brush does not seem to spin when the carpet level adjustment is on any level other than "high". Could it be something as simple as needing a new belt and is there a difference in a regular belt as opposed to "whisper belt"?
The belt is worn/stretched to the point that it cannot take the load on low level setting due to more resistance against the carpet and there is also no signifagant difference between the two belts except for expecting a longer belt life from the whi ...

I replaced the belt as I have done before on Self-Propelled Vision. When turned on it is very loud and left on too long will smoke and you can smell the belt deteriorating. I do not feel this is a belt issue. There is either something wrong with motor or some kind of friction I am unaware of. How do I check?
The best way to check if the motor is burning or not is to go back into the unit and take the belt off of the motor shaft. If the unit does the same thing and burns or even if the lights flicker when the unit is on, then it is definitely the motor. ... Dirt Devil Vision Turbo W/Bonus Upright Vacuum Vacuum

VAT invoice: Unsatisfactory VAT invoices
You should make every effort to ensure that traders comply with the regulations governing VAT invoices. If you find that registered traders are issuing incorrectly prepared VAT invoices you should remind them, in writing, of their obligations under the regulations and the difficulties that incorrect invoices may cause for their customers.
If a trader continues to default, you should send a further letter, drawing attention to the trader's legal obligations and warning them that continuing irregularities may result in a civil penalty being imposed under the VAT Act 1994, section 69 for a breach of regulatory provisions. Guidance on the issue of a penalty is in VAT Civil Penalties Manual.
In line with our policy stated during the consultation with UK business prior to introducing the regulatory changes, following the changes to the VAT invoicing regulations inserted by SI2085/2007 with effect from 1 October 2007, HMRC has adopted a 'light touch' approach for a twelve month transitional period.
Regulatory penalties under s.69 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 should only be assessed in that period in cases of abusive and repeated or fraudulent non-compliance. Any regulatory penalty will apply to the general failure and will not attach to each invoice issued.

Shares of General Mills are climbing on Wednesday, shaking off the company's fiscal third-quarter results that missed Wall Street expectations. General Mills reported adjusted earnings of 62 cents a share, below analyst expectations of 64 cents a share, according to Thomson Reuters. The food products company attributed the weaker-than-expected results to the harsh winter weather. Looking ahead, General Mills said it still expects to earn between $2.87 and $2.90 a share in fiscal 2014.

(image "baby" from Schuelke. 2004)
Before the yeast was administered to the mice at a weekly dose of 120,000,000 yeast cells for 5 weeks, Zhang et al. had cultured the yeast with copper sulfate for 10h to induce the expression of myostatin and ovo-myostatin proteins.

In this study, immunized mice in all groups were found generally healthy looking and no significant damage in any internal organs. [If one also takes into account the report on the "myostatin baby" by Schuelke et al. (Schuelke. 2004)] these findings suggest that immuomodulation of myostatin is safe in both laboratory animals and human.

1. Lead by example - Great leaders operate with humility and a "Do as I do" rather than a "Do as I say" mentality. They never ask anyone to do anything they are not willing to do themselves.
2. Use the 7 P's - In the military, I learned that
Great leaders are visionaries who see an objective and are able to work backwards to figure out what must be done, and then possess the ability to inspire and motivate those around them in order to accomplish the mission.
3. Respond, don't react - While emotion may play a part in the decision-making process, great leaders take time to be proactive and process information. They are extremely careful not to make reflexive decisions.
4. Take accountability - Great leaders are quick to give credit where credit is due and let others shine before themselves. They praise in public, criticize in private, and always accept the blame for failures en route to future success.
5. Develop leaders, not followers - The best leaders are those who inspire and develop others to become leaders in their own right. They possess an ability to maximize the leadership capacity of those around them by firing up vision and imagination and then relinquishing control.

Every few years it seems there is some article that comes out proclaiming that marriage is obsolete, all men are awful, or they only want stupid women. Not surprisingly, these articles are often written by single women.
The latest installment is from Kate Bolick and ran in The Atlantic. The premise is multi-faceted but can be generally pared down to this: Being single is becoming the preferable choice for many women. And while I love the general idea -- not everyone needs to or should marry -- I never understand the need to impugn all those who make different choices.
Not all men are either deadbeats or playboys and not all traditional marriages aren't working.
Bolick says the stigma of the single woman may soon fade and I hope that is true. Because then maybe we won't have to be subject to all the name calling on both sides. If Bolick is right and marriage is changing (open marriages are becoming more common, for instance), then maybe there will be different options.
I like that idea. But none of this means that people won't still want to be coupled. One need not throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water. Traditional marriage will always have its place on the field of potential lifestyle choices.
But the part I keep coming back to is this notion that "marriageable" men are hard to find. Bolick says: "We're contending with a new 'dating gap,' where marriage-minded women are increasingly confronted with either deadbeats or players."
In her mind, women are better off staying single than settling for men who aren't "marriageable." But marriageable sounds unnervingly snobby, like she is disregarding the idea that just because a person might be less educated or wealthy, he isn't husband-worthy. I am all for high standards, but not impossibly so.
If marriage is changing, then fine. But let's not pretend that marriage is changing because one woman in her late 30s living in New York City has gone through a lot of semi-quality men and declared them all "unmarriageable" and herself as "happy" being single. It seems that all the protesting is a bit transparent. Don't settle. That's a horrible idea. But don't generalize, either. It's just another extreme reaction.
Do you think all the good men are gone?

A Booming Online Business: E-book Selling
Low-cost self-help e-books that deal with money making schemes and such on- and offline are in high demand these days. This is because people are slowly opening their eyes to the benefits that the internet and technology bring to marketing their products and even services. Also, these e-books help the regular internet surfer get ideas on what he can do to earn as he does so. E-book selling is indeed now a booming business today.
E-book selling can net you 100% profit compared to the 10 to 25% that you usually get from those of traditional businesses. The business scheme is likely cheaper than selling books which have been published in print simply because it's free to publish such things on line than getting a publishing company to print your work for you on paper. There is also less barriers you need to go through when e-book selling as opposed to getting your work published by renowned printing companies.
Before you can sell your e-books, however, here are some things you need to know to market your e-book wisely. First tip is to fully understand the nature of your business and the e-book itself. Should you let your clients download freely as they pay? Or should your clients achieve a certain level first before they could avail of the e-book you're selling? Either way you choose, you can be assured that this will keep your clients of being dissatisfied with the product or rather, the e-book. Second, you should establish guidelines on who is able to download or access the product. You can either set up a password for your customers after providing them a sample of your work for preview or you could allow them to download it and then ask them to pay for it as they've read a part of it. Lastly, determine the use of your e-book. Is it for personal use? Is it for business use? How about to help your target market, the students, with their academics? This will, in turn, determine your target market.
Clients pay for e-books using their credit cards. In selling e-books, you should establish a reliable payment method that does not compromise their personal information. This can help establish trust between you and your customers. Their personal information should be protected from those who would want to exploit their personal information for other means.

Here with antiX M8.2 Test 1, running live. Let me tell you why I like antiX so much as a Live CD.
1. Loads, even to RAM, in under two minutes, faster than that to run straight from CD.
2. Recognizes, even on CD, just about any wireless network card you can throw at it.
3. Has a good selection of software, and given that you can run it live, from USB, or install it to disk from the CD, it is easy to install or just use as is (as I am doing right now.
4. It's fast, and I think it is a blend of being easy enough, yet fast enough. You can get smaller Live CDs, but they take more tinkering and they don't have as many good apps. You can get larger live CDs, but they don't boot or run as fast as antiX.
I consider this the #1 top Live CD overall and one of the best systems around. You can run it either as a stable system or you can also customize and build your own system from it. What other system can do all of these things well? Some can do certain tasks better, perhaps, but on the balance this is the best live CD you can get!
The appearance of this version is better than ever - the nicest boot splash screen I've seen yet, thanks to the great artists in the antiX community!

I didn't take my big camera along on any of our excursions and I don't really regret it because I made a conscious effort to take plenty of phone photos. Plus, the sand and the DSLR do not mix. I feel like I have to be too careful with it when I have the big camera and I don't always feel like being careful!
And now, it's Monday and we are back to our routine. I really like Mondays. Weekends are relaxing, but Monday feels like recovery from the weekend, haha! I think that's what breaks are for, to help you desire your routine again, don't you?

FOODTRIP(54): Breaks and Shakes
Been seeing Breaks and Shakes in Sapphire St (near Lilac St), whenever I pass by the place. So a few days ago, I finally had a chance to visit this place.
If you're familiar of Mad Mustard or St Paul Parish, place is exactly located at the 2nd floor of the ACC building in Sapphire St., near Lilac St.
Place is a bit small but cozy. We were the only customers at that time so I was able to appreciate the place.
Menu is placed above the counter.
They offer milkshakes, breakfast and pastas. Prices were very affordable.
Here's what we ordered.
Creamy Carbonara (Php120)
- I really LOVED their creamy carbonara!! As the name itself, their carbonara was really creamy, saucy, and delish! Though servings were just enough and so bitin.
Tuna Aligue (Php130)
- Though I'm not a fan of spicy meals, I also loved their tuna aligue as it was also creamy and very flavorful.
Dark Chocolate Milkshake with Crushed Grahams (Php120)
Coffee Almond Fudge with Whipped Cream (Php120)
- Both milkshakes are superb! I love how smooth these milkshakes are. Not a fan of milkshakes but I think their milkshake is something I would come back for more.
By the way, they have few board and card games that you can use to play while waiting for your orders. And I also noticed that "Ate" was the one who got our orders and she's also the one who cooked and prepared our shakes. Such an all-round:)
Overall, our meals and shakes were SURPRISINGLY GOOD!
I just noticed that people aren't really that familiar with place and I haven't also seen much reviews about this place. If I'm not mistaken, I've seen the place a lot of times since last year but was only able to try this until now. Maybe I think the place isn't that noticeable and I also think they lack promotion. Their good foods and nice cozy place need more shout outs as this foodie spot deserves such. :)
Breaks and Shakes
Located at: Unit 6 ACC Building, Sapphire Street, Concepcion Dos,
Marikina City
Opens: Tues-Sun 10am-10pm
