Slow and steady gains
The price of Bitcoin has been slowly recovering from the biggest drop we've seen since the year 2013. For the last ten days the price has steadily been moving upwards after a bullish breakout closer and closer to the resistance level at around 260.7 USD. I am fairly confident that at least up until this point there shouldn't be anything that will stop the trend. We will most likely see some fallback around that level, but if all goes well the 260 USD mark will be broken at the end of January or early February.
Pivot point calculator
Since I have upgraded to a much more professional software, the MetaTrader 4, I now have a lot better indicators and overall user interface. I was looking around for a MT4 pivot point calculator script and I found some, but I can't be sure how reliable they are or what algorithm they are using so for the time being I am still using this: Pivot Point Calculator. I will let you know once mine is ready- I am planning on making one really soon because it's not really making sense to manually type in those pivots every morning, right?

As reported by Censor.NET citing The New York Times, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Putin "has confirmed what the United States government has known all along": that Russia has been developing "destabilizing weapons systems for over a decade in direct violations of its treaty obligations."
She says President Donald Trump understands the threats facing America and says that America is "moving forward to modernize our nuclear arsenal and ensure our capabilities are unmatched."
The White House says U.S. defense capabilities "are and will remain second to none" as it responds to Russian President Vladimir Putin's boasts about developing a new array of nuclear weapons.
The United States says Russia acted irresponsibly by boasting of new nuclear weapons that President Vladimir Putin says are impervious to U.S. defenses.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert says it was "unfortunate" to watch a video animation depicting "a nuclear attack on the United States" that accompanied Russian President Vladimir Putin's state-of-the-nation speech Thursday. She's calling the video "cheesy" and says that "we don't think it's responsible."
Nauert says the animation confirms that Russia has been creating destabilizing weapons systems for more than a decade in "direct violation" of its treaty obligations. She says the U.S. has long known that but that Russia had previously denied it.
Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White says the Defense Department isn't surprised by Russian President Vladimir Putin's claims of new nuclear weapons. She says the U.S. military is prepared to defend the nation.
Putin said that Russia has tested an array of new strategic nuclear weapons that can't be intercepted and would make NATO's missile defense "useless." He said the weapons include a nuclear-powered cruise missile, a nuclear-powered underwater drone and new hypersonic missile that have no equivalent elsewhere in the world.
White told Pentagon reporters that America's missile defense has never been about Russia.
The U.S. has consistently argued that missile defense systems in Europe are not aimed at Moscow, but instead designed to defend against threats from Iran, North Korea and rogue threats.

OSHAWA, Ont. -- In response to constantly fluctuating fuel prices, General Motors has reduced the fuel subsidy it p...
OSHAWA, Ont. — In response to constantly fluctuating fuel prices, General Motors has reduced the fuel subsidy it pays to truckers.
Those Tier II and truckload service providers currently being paid under the authority of the five per cent Canadian surcharge will see their tariff rolled back. All shipments made on or after Aug. 14, will have the surcharge cut by more than half — with the auto giant slashing support to two percent.
"Again, it looks like trouble for O/Os that haul automotive goods," says Bill Wellman, president of the National Truckers Association. "This is the second cut in the last few months and fuel is at an all time high."
Despite Wellman's claims, prices at the pumps have been coming somewhat under control. Reports out of the U.S. indicate diesel has hit an 18-month low.
"General Motors will continue to review fuel prices on a monthly basis and make changes as appropriate," says Cliff Gilroy, director of material transportation for GM North American Logistics.

The Gospel reading for the Thursday of the Nineteenth Week of Ordinary Time, Matthew 18: 21-19:1, comes at the end of what is generally considered to be the fourth discourse in Matthew, the Church or Ecclesial discourse. The parable that is told is found only in Matthew's Gospel and is told by Jesus in response to a question from Peter about forgiveness. The whole of chapter 18 focuses on behavior within the Church, particularly from those who are in positions of authority. After Peter has been told by Jesus that a member of the Church is to forgive, and radically forgive, those who sin, not only seven times, but seventy-seven times, Jesus tells a parable.
In this parable, the King has a servant, or slave (the Greek doulos is better translated slave) who owes him 10,000 talents. The NAB reads "a huge amount," which is true, but it does not take us to the outrageousness of the amount. It is said that 1 talent, just one, could be likened to 15 years wages for a laborer. If we transpose that into modern terms and take the reasonable and perhaps even low number of $20,000.00 as the wages of a laborer today and multiply that number by 15 and then 10,000, we come up with the sum of ....let me get my calculator (there's a reason I am a theologian)... $3,000,000,000, that is 3 billion dollars! This is meant to be a parable of absurdity. The slave owes 3 billion dollars. Even though ancient slaves could hold positions in which making money was a possibility, what are the chances that he could repay the 3 billion?
Nevertheless, the slave pleads for mercy. "So the slave fell on his knees before him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.' And out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the debt" (Matthew 18:26-27). It is pity, mercy, not the hope of a payday to come that leads the King to forgive his debt. After receiving this gift of mercy, the slave runs into a fellow slave who owes him some money -100 denarii, which amounts to about 100 days wages. Following our calculations above, this would amount to around $8,000.00, a not insignificant sum, but a few bucks less than $3,000,000,000.00. When the fellow slave pleads for mercy - "Have patience with me, and I will pay you" (Matthew 18:29) - the debt-forgiven slave cruelly ignores the plea and has his fellow slave tossed into prison. This riles up the other slaves who report him to the King. The King is rightfully angry.
"You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me. Should you not have had mercy on your fellow slave, as I had mercy on you?" And in anger his lord handed him over to be tortured until he would pay his entire debt. So my heavenly Father will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your brother or sister from your heart" (Matthew 18:32-35). The intent of the parable is given to us quite directly by Jesus at the end of the parable: you will be punished if you do not forgive your brothers and sisters. The parable as a whole enacts the call of "The Lord's Prayer" to "forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors" (Matthew 6:12). This prayer is intended not to be a sweet sentiment, but performative: if you say it, you had better mean it. Indeed, the structure of the parable is explicated even more fully a couple of verses later in Matthew 6:14-15: "for if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
'The Lord's Prayer" is hard stuff, no less hard because we say it every Sunday at Mass (at least). It might even be harder stuff to keep in mind since so often we say it by rote without contemplating what we are saying. Remember, the slave who has been shown mercy by God really is owed a debt by the other slave; he genuinely has been harmed and it is hard to let debts go and forgive them. Jesus' parable, however, makes it abundantly clear how great the debt we have had forgiven by God, simply out of God's mercy for us. It is God's bailout and no taxpayers, or fellow debtors, are harmed in the bailout. We are all eligible and the amount is infinite. We couldnot pay our debts no matter how hard we work at it. We need forgiveness.
One last aspect of this parable is intriguing in this light. The image of torture is brought up, an everyday potentiality for slaves in the ancient world, which gives this parable a grounding in real life. "His lord handed him over to be tortured until he would pay his entire debt." Is this an image of hell? Is it expected that the debt would ever be repayed or would the punishment be eternal? The Gospel of Matthew uses the phrase "weeping and gnashing of teeth" six times to describe hell or eternal punishment (Matthew 8:12, 13:42, 13:50, 22:13, 24:51, 25:30). The only other occurrence of this phrase in all of the Gospels is in Luke 13:28. Does the fact that Matthew, who uses a preferred phrase for "hell" on numerous occasions, not use it here indicate that he is thinking of something other than hell? I think so. I think Jesus is pointing to a process of purgation or purification, for he does not say the wicked slave will be cast "into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30). Perhaps this is a sign of hopefulness for the future, that purgatory will prepare us for a debt free life in the presence of God, but all in all, forgiveness, a spiritual bailout for those who have harmed us, here and now, in light of their genuine repentance, seems the preferred choice.

Khunbish Borjigin hailing from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia fighting out of the GWad's Playpen based out of Montreal, Canada representing The Six Musketeers fighting camp and possessing some of the most lethal striking skills in his division with a tangible knockout ability that is underpinned by his ruthless ferocity in the cage, one of the most dangerous fighters in the 185lbs division on the fast track to the very top seek's what he describes as the "perfect performance" above all else, concerns of victory are a side effect of his ongoing struggle to fight the perfect fight, to take on the very best competition the world has to offer and defeat them soundly in operatic fashion like a flowing stream of perfection, this is his dream, this is Khunbish Borjigin's mission. Deeply respectful of the fans and the love they have shown him since his Aspire MMA debut back in December of 2016, Borjigin was quick to take to the defense of fans dismissed by his opponent Dustin Anderson during the pre-fight weight in's and will seek to exact a penance upon his rival for his transgressions.

Why I Created Horse Side Vet Guide
This cartoon is obviously a joke, but as a long-time equine veterinarian, scenarios like this are too familiar to me. Misinformation (usually found on the Internet – a/k/a "Dr. Google") leads caretakers to make guesses about their horse's condition rather than contacting a veterinarian.
Of course, many horses heal fine without veterinary help, and sometimes the information found online is helpful. But sometimes the delay in contacting a veterinarian (and procuring a correct diagnosis and targeted treatment) may result in unnecessary suffering for a horse, and ultimately a worse prognosis and increased vet costs.
Birth of An Idea
In early 2011, the horse industry was in a shambles. The value of horses was down, and the cost of equine care was rapidly increasing. Caretakers (owners, trainers, etc) were trying harder than ever to find answers to horse health questions on the Internet, and they were delaying calls to the vet whenever possible. It was driving me crazy! I was seeing all these horses that had been treated incorrectly, or whose problems had been ignored, and often because of misinformation found on the Internet.
At that same time, smartphones were exploding onto the scene. When I first used a smartphone that spring, I realized that this little device, like it or not, was going to change the way people did things. For the first time in history, everyone would have immediate access to the world of information on their phone! I wondered … Could I use a smartphone to help horse owners make better horse health decisions?
So in that spring of 2011, I envisioned building a tool that would provide horse owners the KEY horse health information they needed, right when they needed it, on their smartphone – in the stall, at a show, on a ranch, or out on the trail. I envisioned them using this tool when they FIRST had a question about their horse, while they were literally standing next to their horse – "horse side".
And that is how Horse Side Vet Guide was born. I wanted it to be easier to use, faster, more helpful than a web search, and I wanted it to be available even without Internet access.

And that is how Horse Side Vet Guide was born. I wanted it to be easier to use, faster, more helpful than a web search, and I wanted it to be available even without Internet access.
What is HSVG & How Does it Work?
Horse Side Vet Guide is based on a constantly growing, online database of thousands of interconnected equine health "Fast Facts" – short, concise articles on almost every aspect of horse health.
I created numerous images and videos that show you what anatomy you really need to know.
The HSVG database contains concise information about everything from common equine health problems to rare diseases, veterinary diagnostic tests and treatments.
More importantly, HSVG provides helpful information from the moment you make an Observation. Observations include things like: "my horse has a runny eye, seems wobbly, isn't eating, broke into the feed room last night, is depressed, has a wound to the lower hind leg etc…" Currently there are currently over 660 Observations in HSVG, and the list keeps growing! The list is based on my 23 years of experience as an equine vet.
HSVG also acts as a hub for thousands of reliable, important web resources for horse owners – Outside Resources – that expand upon the information we have created.
What an Adventure!
When I started, I had no idea how hard it was going to be to create HSVG. Certainly I would not have gotten far without my wife. She supported the idea from the beginning and has tirelessly worked on it with me. When we started, neither of us had a clue about software development. The learning curve was steep, and we made plenty of mistakes, and some really serious and costly ones.
Over the course of two and a half years, we struggled with multiple software development teams before finally finding the right ones. Much of the work we did in the middle of the night (every night) – since we had a baby son to care for and the veterinary practice to run. At times we were exhausted, but our commitment to HSVG was always strong. We have always been and still are extremely passionate about this project.
Over time, we have gradually defined the information and the structure that YOU really need when you have a question about your horse's health.
The Future
We have many exciting improvements planned for HSVG. Our goal is to help you be the best equine caretaker you can be, by providing you with reliable, relevant information, and by helping you communicate better with your local veterinarian.
Importantly, HSVG works best when it is used as a supplement to – and not a substitute for – that important relationship.
The Horse Side Vet Guide smartphone app is available on iTunes for iPhone/ iPad and on Google Play for Android devices and costs a $4.99 one-time fee. The app has been downloaded in over 70 countries and has stellar reviews on both stores. HSVG is widely considered the best horse health app in the world.
The FREE website is HorseSideVetGuide.com. You can see all the same information here as is contained in the app. But unlike the app, the website requires Internet connection and is not made for mobile use – it is best viewed on a standard computer screen.
We have over 64,000 interested and engaged followers on a very lively Facebook page. Join us on Facebook for quizzes and case studies.

Why More Millennials are Freaking Out About MoneyRyan Bhandari Follow |
The generation poised to inherit the world is very bad at saving for retirement, according to a new survey from the Indexed Annuity Leadership Council (IALC).
According to the survey, 37% of millennials have no money whatsoever saved for retirement. Couple this figure with the 24% who are in debt, and over 60% of millennials have nothing or negative money saved for their retirement.
It should come as no surprise that a survey from the IALC found that millennials are in fact very interested in investing in indexed annuities for retirement. Indexed annuities are savings vehicles that can increase in value based on the market, but can never lose the principle payment.
Annuities can be paid in one lump sum or through a stream of payments over time. In exchange for these payments, you are guaranteed future disbursements.
Starting Everything Later
Millennials are generally saddled with tremendous debt leaving college, and they are putting things like buying a car and a home until later in life so they can pay down debts. Consequently, millennials are also starting their retirement planning later in life.
Unfortunately with millennials though, they are in a worse situation than their parents. With diminishing returns on social security, stagnant wages for the middle class, and decreasing 401k match programs, it's more important now than ever that millennials prepare themselves for retirement. Unfortunately, since the majority of them live paycheck-to-paycheck, this is not going to happen easily.
Millennials are going to have start making financial sacrifices to plan for their future sooner than later. See the survey results in the infographic below:

Details like the wallpapered wall, chimney feature wall, statement lamps and rugs work well for achieving this. And keeping these in mind, you can adapt for cottage living, apartment living, country living etc. The gallery from housetohome features lots of incredibly stylish rooms and these are my favorites.

Purchased by me. Affiliate links.
I stopped by Sally Beauty to pick up some Clairol Shimmer Lights for my newly blond hair and couldn't resist grabbing some new gel polishes from FingerPaints. I picked up Charcoal Drawing as well as Fine Arts Auction, which may be my new favorite color.
I've only been wearing it for a few days, but it's a duo-chrome that leans bronze and violet with a touch of iridescent blue and green sparkle. When I applied the polish, it didn't creep away from the edges the way so many gel polishes tend to do. While I used the base and top coat from another gel manicure set (along with the light), it seems to have worked perfectly. However, I'm told by nail-aholics that the FingerPaints base is amazing.
Are you doing a gel at home or still going to the salon? What's your favorite gel polish?
Pick up any of the wide assortment of colors from Sally's Beauty for $10.99/$9.99.

Warm, breezy evenings are some of the best things about living in Georgia, but I prefer to enjoy them without the company of mosquitoes. So I decided my first major project as a first-time home owner would be to screen in the lower level of a two-story deck.
I tackled this project first for two reasons:
1. My parents graciously agreed to partially fund the project and throw in some labor as a housewarming present. (My dad is a structural engineer who knows his way around a remodel.) My boyfriend volunteered to swing a hammer as well.
2. We weren't starting from scratch — the framework for the 8-foot-by-10-foot porch was already there — so this seemed like an easy first-time project. We only had to add some screens and a ceiling fan and voila! Instant screened-in porch.
Oh, how naïve I was!
I quickly learned I'd need much more than screens: I'd have to replace the railings, put something under the floorboards to keep bugs out, install a ceiling to keep rain from dripping in from the top deck, and get an electrician to run wires for the ceiling fan.
Out With the Old Railings
It quickly became apparent that the existing railing wasn't going to work. I wanted something more open at the bottom, and the old railing was warped and falling apart anyway. So we ripped out the existing railing and replaced it with this cross bracing, which allow more visibility out the bottom of the screens while still providing plenty of structural support. (We saved the old railings and later used them to build a compost bin.)
While we were picking up lumber, we went ahead and got a screen door for just $20, plus some hardware for it.
Total cost of lumber: $150
A Cool Screen System
We used the Screen Tight system, which came highly recommended by a friend of my dad's. It took some elbow grease, but worked like a charm.
Total cost of screens and materials: $180
Let There Be Light (and Breezes)
A ceiling fan is non-negotiable in a Georgia summer. An outdoor fan was the way to go in this case, since rain can blow inside the porch if it's windy.
This project turned out to be a family affair: My uncle, an electrician, volunteered to come out and run wires for the fan, saving me anywhere from $300-$600 if I'd had to hire someone. (Never underestimate the value of handy family members.) He ran wires up to the ceiling, installed dimmable switches for the light and the speed of the fan, and put an extra outlet on the ceiling so I could plug in strings of lights. (No porch is complete without string lights.)
Total cost of ceiling fan and lights: $130
Sealing Up the Ceiling and Floor
Although the porch is covered by the second-level deck, something had to go up on the porch's ceiling to divert raindrops seeping between the boards overhead. For this, we used corrugated sheet metal, which we installed at a slight slope so water would run off away from the house. They cost about $14 for a 96-inch-by-26-inch panel. I needed seven of them.
We didn't need to replace the existing floorboards, but there's a small gap between each board, which meant mosquitoes and other bugs could still fly in from underneath. My boyfriend had the genius idea to get some wooden lattice ($12 for a 4-foot-by-8-foot sheet), cut it to fit the opening underneath the porch, then staple leftover screen material to it. Now, it's bug-proof.
Total cost of ceiling and flooring materials: $122
Throw in miscellaneous nails and screws, plus the sealant and stain we'll apply once the wood has dried thoroughly, and the cost of my screened-in porch will total around $600.
Lessons Learned
Rule No. 1 of DIY remodels: No project is as quick or easy as you think it'll be. There's a nickname for this phenomenon: "Project creep." It took me, my dad, my boyfriend, and my uncle about 8 days to complete the project, spread out over four weekends. I originally thought it would take a weekend, maybe two, but that's another aspect of project creep: It'll always take longer than you think it will, and more often than not, it'll cost you more than you expected. Once I realized how much work we had to do, I budgeted carefully, so there were no financial surprises for me.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. The combined expertise of my dad and uncle was invaluable in this project. If you have handy friends or family members, you'll learn a lot by talking and working with them, and you'll be on your way to becoming an expert yourself. If you don't know anyone with DIY skills, there's no shame in asking the employees at your local home improvement store for advice — they often know their stuff.
You'll make more trips to the home improvement store than you ever thought possible. Inevitably we would run out of screws and have to make another trip to the home improvement store, or it would start raining and we'd have to pack it in for the day. So leave some wiggle room in your schedule.
Don't skimp on details that will add to your enjoyment of the space. Installing dimmable switches for the string lights and speed of the fan seemed to be a small touch, but now I can't imagine my porch without them. I'm also glad I sprung for the reflective sheet metal on the ceiling — I could have gone with white or matte black, but the silver adds a cool industrial look that I love.
It's never going to be perfect. I do get the occasional gnat or spider in the screened-in porch, but what can you do? You'll drive yourself crazy trying to find every tiny hole through which a gnat can fit. I've gotten used to the fact that it's just mostly bug-proof.
Wine tastes better when you drink it while relaxing on a porch you built yourself. But I bet you already knew that.
What was your first major project as a first-time home owner?

South Carolina's only Democratic congressman Jim Clyburn insisted Tuesday that House Republicans will try to impeach President Obama next year if they keep control of the chamber in November's election.
Democrats have gone on the offensive on the topic ever since the GOP-led House of Representatives voted to file a lawsuit against the president last week. A few popular conservative commentators like Sarah Palin and radio talk show host Mark Levin have publicly called for the president's impeachment over what they say is his refusal to enforce federal law. But even the most conservative members of Congress have distanced themselves from the idea up to this point.
In a meeting with local reporters Tuesday, Clyburn claimed the House lawsuit is the first step in the process to make a case for eventual impeachment.
"If Republicans maintain control of the House, Barack Obama will be impeached," he said. "There were 225 votes for this lawsuit, well beyond the 218 (majority) that's needed to impeach. That's my expectation. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so."
Audio: Clyburn says Republicans will try to impeach Pres. Obama (3:41)
A recent CNN/ORC poll found that 65 percent of Americans oppose impeachment, although 57 percent of respondents who identified as Republicans were open to the idea. Democrats have been hoping to sway independent voters and mobilize their base with warnings of possible impeachment arguments.
No member of South Carolina's delegation has publicly said they would vote to impeach the president.
"You don't get impeached for having bad judgment," Fifth District Congressman Mick Mulvaney said in a Rock Hill town hall meeting last year.
In a March floor speech, fellow Congressman Trey Gowdy also rejected the idea. "(If) a president does not faithfully execute the law… what are our remedies? Do we use the power of the purse, the power of impeachment? Those are punishments, those are not remedies."
But Clyburn said the GOP was hoping to diminish Obama's credibility. "They want to sully and… besmirch the character and the service of Barack Obama," he said. "They would just love to be able to open a history book years from now and say, 'Yeah, he may have been the first African-American president. But he was also an impeached president.'"
Impeaching a president requires a majority vote in the House. However, removing a president from office would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate, which is extremely unlikely given the current power nearly evenly dividing Republicans and Democrats in the Senate.

Alright, let's jump in!
I love this storage idea from Suzanne from Just Another Hang Up. She guest posts this great tutorial on Blue Cricket Design! So cute and totally functional. I struggle with being organized yet am totally sucked into these sorts of projects! Now, if I could just get them done and actually use them!
Silly Precious Piggies shares her tutorial for this adorable clock pillow.
{SIDE STORY: My mom and I were literally talking about telling time the day I saw this! My mom was watching this show where kids went to camp but had to leave their technology behind, phones, internet, etc... While they were there they had to write, you know by hand, 2 letters to their parents. Well.... the vast majority of them didn't even know how to address an envelope! Crazy I tell ya! Technology is amazing, but don't you think everyone should know how to address an envelope or will they be obsolete soon anyways? This story then turned to a personal story about my little sister. Lucky for you she never reads my blog so I'll tell the story. On the off chance she does read this....Sorry Kate, please don't beat me up next time I see you. My sister was old...like teens and couldn't tell time. Why you ask? She learned to tell time in 1st or 2nd grade or whatever grade you are in when you learn this BUT if you don't practice it you forget. We grew up in a house without clocks so the only way to know the time was check the stove or microwave which are all digital. So really, she could tell time...as long as it was a digital clock. Once she hit a certain age admitting that she couldn't tell time was just too embarrassing for her. I don't remember how this all came out, but she now knows how to tell time. If only she had this damn pillow growing up!}
I think this pillow is a super cute way to encourage learning throughout the day. My need for it is quite far off, but I love it still! You can find the tutorial on Silly Precious Piggies.
and last but DEFINITELY not least... The Shirt Skirt by Sew Like My Mom.
and last but DEFINITELY not least... The Shirt Skirt by Sew Like My Mom.
I just found her blog today and am already in love with a few things! This shirt skirt being the first! I seriously can hardly wait to race to Goodwill tomorrow and make some! They are cute, comfy looking and great for my growing belly! Oh and the calzones look delicious! I may have to add these to my food list stat!

Witt-Birn senior to continue running at Winona
Wittenberg-Birnamwood High School senior Maddy Pietz will continue her track and field career at Winona State University next year.
The reigning WIAA Division 2 state champion in the 400-meter dash signed a letter of intent with the Minnesota university Nov. 1.
"I got letters from a lot of schools," Pietz said. "A lot of Big Ten colleges contacted me after freshman year, and I started to believe it was something I could do.
"My mom told me to keep my options open, and so I found Winona. I went and visited and everything was just amazing. The coach was great. The school, the atmosphere — it all just aligned with the type of person I am."
Pietz has a history of success as a Charger.
"Freshman year, I wasn't really sure what to expect," she said. "I knew I was fast but didn't know if I'd be fast enough to be good at the sport."
She found out that she was fast enough — and then some.
Pietz was runner-up in the 100 and 200 meters at the state meet as a freshman and a member of the 4x400-meter relay team that also placed second.
She was second again in the 100 and 200 as a sophomore but helped the 4x400 relay team win a state title and set a state record.
She switched to the 400 as a junior and won her first individual state title.
"I really wanted that individual gold," Pietz said. "There was already a really fast 100 runner on our team, so I switched events from the 100 to the 400, and it ended up being great for me."
She also finished as runner-up in the 200 and was again on the champion 4x400 squad.
Although Pietz has committed to Winona, she still has lofty goals for her final year at Witt-Birn.
"I'm going to work hard to repeat as champion in the 400, advance as far as I can in the 200 and get a third straight state win in the 4x400 relay," she said.
Pietz's passion for the sport comes from her ability to push herself.
"I love the fact that it's mostly on you, so you're constantly pushing your limits," she said. "You think you're running as fast as you can, but then you find out you can always improve and run faster. That gives me fire. I love knowing that I'm always defying the expectations of myself."
She has not set any expectations yet for her time at Winona.
"I'll need to find my groove once I get there," she said. "I could be running short or long distances, depending on how I progress once I'm there."
Pietz plans on studying movement science while at Winona, with the goal of becoming a physician assistant.

Pann: I heard that Krystal wears light makeup
1. [+139, -6] Her makeup is really light
2. [+99, -7] Her stage makeup is also very light. Other female idols wear false eyelashes, thick eyeliner, and sparkling eye shadow but Krystal barely wears makeup like that... But she's still pretty.
3. [+98, -6] Her makeup is light but she looks fancy overall... No wonder why people praise Krystal.
4. [+56, -0] Her eyes when she was at an event. It's light for a celebrity.
5. [+50, -0] When she was 19, she went to do a photo shoot with wet hair and bare face but she still looked so pretty, so the photographer took a picture of her. It's the famous picture.
6. [+47, -0] She said she doesn't wear makeup when she doesn't have schedules because she doesn't know how to put on makeup ㅠㅠ So cute
7. [+44, -0] Krystal doesn't know how to wear makeup so she goes around with bare face. Jessica said she has to put makeup 3 times on a family trip. For herself, for Krystal, and for their mother ㅋㅋㅋ
8. [+31, -1] Krystal looks prettier with light makeup... Her facial features are very strong, so thick makeup actually covers the features.
9. [+28, -0]
10. [+28, -0] Pictorial
11. [+26, -0] Soojung with light makeup & Krystal with thick makeup.

Dont eat here
1 / 10
We had the unfortunate experience of eating at this restaurant yesterday.The placce is known for it's Ice cream and tourist love it because of it.So we thought because the takeaway ice creams were good so would the food. How very very wrong we were.We waited 15 minutes at our table just to place drinks orders and there was only 3 other people dining.The staff were chatting in italian swearing in Italian at the English customers,not very professional.Our food come out before our drinks,the staff had real attitude I guessing they get loads of tourists so service doesnt matter.Well I live in Brighton and I will make sure people know how bad it really was and not to waste there money.After the 4 of us ate our meals we were left unattended for a further 30 minutes with empty plates and glasses.Even after asking 4 times for the bill.I approached what looked like the owner and I was told to calm down and sit down after asking to pay.My Wife and her friend could not believe the attitude and arroganceof this chap.We felt like just walking out,but it is not my style.However Im warning people not to go and experience this appauling experience.Explains why the dont have a website to complain.

Tweets by @Actipro
Please take some time to learn more about us and our product offerings.
Today I wanted to give a quick update on the status of development here at Actipro.
First for our Docking/MDI for WPF product, we have the recently-announced MVVM features complete and ready to go. We previously asked for beta testers to help try out the new features and have a list of customers waiting to try them out.
Before we get the beta out, we're trying to get Prism (Composite WPF) integration completed as well since a number of the MVVM customers were using it and would find these features very helpful. We should have the beta ready for the first or second week of January.
Second, we have been continuing work on the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF. The C# grammar is looking great so far and we should have its unit tests complete in the coming days.
We've begun work on the VB grammar and are continuing to move forward on it each day.
We'd like to start a list of beta testers for the .NET Languages Add-on too. The add-on's beta test will focus on usage of the advanced C# language to parse documents in the background as they are edited, thus producing an AST, reporting parse errors via squiggle lines, and driving automatic outlining (code folding). Once the VB grammar is complete, we'll want help testing the same features for it too.
If you are a customer and are interested in helping test these upcoming features out, please e-mail us or comment in this post. Make sure you indicate which features you'd like to test.
Today I'd like to post a status update on the progress of the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF. For more information on the add-on's development, please see the previous posts in this series:
We've continued working on the C# grammar implementation that uses our LL(*) Parser Framework. More...
There has been a lot of customer interest in when the SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on for WPF will be ready. About a month ago we posted the general design stages that are needed to create the add-on.
Today I'd like to review some of the new features being added to our LL(*) Parser Framework and Language Designer in version 2011.1, and will also show some screens of the C# grammar in action. More...
Yesterday we posted that we are looking for beta testers to work with the new MVVM support features coming to our Docking/MDI for WPF product in the 2011.1 version. Beta testers will be able to access the new functionality before 2011.1 is officially released.
Going along with that theme, we've had several customers request official support for Prism (Composite WPF), a Microsoft guidance designed to help build rich and flexible WPF desktop applications. In the past, one of our guru customers had made an open-source set of classes to allow integration of Docking/MDI with Prism and he shared the work with the community via our forums.
Now that our native MVVM support features have been completed for Docking/MDI 2011.1, we're considering creating an official Prism integration assembly that harnesses our new MVVM features, and placing it in our open source contrib project.
Today I'd like to ask how much interest there is out there in us implementing such an integration assembly. Please comment below if you'd like to see these features added. And if you'd like to beta test them when we do implement them, please follow the directions in yesterday's call for beta testers post.
Thanks for your input, we want to make sure Docking/MDI continues to be the premier docking window product for WPF.
Several weeks ago we posted that we were actively working on a series of updates to add true MVVM support to the Docking/MDI for WPF product.
These new features work similarly to a standard ItemsControl but are optimized for use with document/tool windows. For instance if you wish to databind your document view model objects to auto-generate DocumentWindow wrappers, you simply bind the new DockSite.DocumentItemsSource property to a collection of view models.
You can use customized DataTemplates to render the docking window content area, and can configure ItemContainerStyle styles to bind properties like docking window titles to your view models.
The features described above and more will be part of the WPF Studio 2011.1 release, which is still several weeks away. However we are looking for some customers to beta test them in advance of the official release.
If you are an WPF Studio customer with an active subscription and are looking to use these new MVVM features in your own applications, please contact us via e-mail to discuss how to participate in the beta test.
We are only looking for testers who will actively be using the new MVVM feature set and will provide feedback on them. Multiple new samples and full documentation on the feature set will be available with the beta test.
We look forward to hearing from you.
We're pleased to announce that WPF Studio 2010.2 build 533 has been released and is now available for download.
See the announcement post for the detailed list of enhancements and updates.
Yesterday we redeployed Silverlight Studio due to an issue with the SyntaxEditor Language Designer application that was discovered. Namely a licensing exception was occurring in a couple places where our .NET Languages Add-on was used. No other code changes were made to the actual Silverlight Studio products so the build number was not changed.
If you use the Language Designer and experienced this issue, please redownload the latest Silverlight Studio build to get the fix that will allow you to properly use all the features of the Language Designer application.
We've just published our December 2010 newsletter with details on recent development at Actipro, and some notes on what is coming in the short term.
Be sure to check it out!
We've just posted a new maintenance release for our WinForms controls. The release includes an updated Shared library along with various enhancements to SyntaxEditor and its add-ons.
The detailed list of changes are available in this forum post.
A free new Ruby language definition is now included in the samples, and several minor tweaks and fixes were made.
Major improvements were made to support xs:any in automated IntelliPrompt.
Numerous enhancements to C# and VB automated IntelliPrompt were made, particularly in the areas of implicitly-typed variables in a C# foreach statement, generic methods, and delegates.

No pics today, I was eating on the move, but I have a point and a message and stuff.
I was in a hurry today so I bought myself lunch (drink, sandwich, dessert and then a chocolate lollipop I couldn't resist). It came to more than a third of what I spent on the entire week's groceries in the supermarket.
Making lunch is so much cheaper.

As an Android developer, I'm spoiled. I depend on my IDE, logcat, and most of all, the Android Debug Bridge (adb). The adb can be run from a command line or directly in Eclipse. It allows me to load applications and see real-time console output; most importantly, it gives me the ability to set break points and single step through my code. The standard regiment is to enable debug on the phone or tablet, install the necessary drivers on the PC, and connect the device via a USB cable.
But what happens when you can't connect the device via a USB cable? Say, for example, the application you're writing uses the USB port to connect to an external device like a card reader or a game controller. This is the scenario I found myself in recently.
When I complained about my predicament to a buddy who also happens to be an Android developer he asked, "Why don't you run adb over TCP?" I responded, "You can do that?" The answer it turns out is a resounding yes. In just a few minutes, he had me up and debugging over my wireless connection. I've outlined the steps below.
- Open a command prompt and navigate to the directory where your copy of ADB.exe lives.
- Type "adb tcpip 5555" and press Enter.
- Type "adb connect 220.127.116.11:5555", replacing the 126.96.36.199 with your phone or tablet's IP address. Press Enter.
You should be able to do anything over the Ethernet that you were doing over a USB cable before. The only caveat is at least over wireless adb is a little sluggish. If you've ever tried to debug a USB device though from logs retrieved post mortem, you know a slightly slower adb connection is a small price to pay.
See an enlarged view of the image.
When you're ready to switch back over to USB, connect the USB cable to the device first, type "adb USB", and
press Enter.

Australian Carbon Tax Passes Lower House of Parliament
photo: Ben Helps/CC BY
One of the world's major greenhouse gas emitters, both per capita and nationally, and one of the largest exporters of coal, Australia has a rocky road in regards to climate policy. Now, the lower house of parliament has passed a highly contested carbon tax.
Under the plan, to begin on July 1, 2012, 500 of the nation's biggest polluters will be forced to pay A$23 per ton of carbon emitted. Exemptions are given to the agriculture and forestry sectors. The goal of it all is to reduce emissions by 159 million tons of carbon by 2020 (BBC News).Pricing Carbon Removes Market Distortions
Thousands of Australians have protested the tax--and while it's probably a good idea to vigorously debate how best to price carbon--but the thing that we all have to realize is that without a price on carbon, without the price of carbon-intensive activities rising to incorporate the true environmental cost, we will have zero chance of either slowing climate change or transitioning towards renewable energy sources before fossil fuel reserves become prohibitively expensive and are ultimately exhausted.
While all that means fossil fuel prices will rise, as well as prices for goods heavily dependent upon them, the more accurate way of thinking about it isn't as these things become more expensive, but rather than they now cost what they should have all along under a true cost economic system.
It's not meddling in a free market system. It's actually eliminating a de facto market-distorting subsidy.

The Diet for Purpura Nephritis Patients
Anaphylactoid purpura also can be called as Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis which maybe related with immune system of blood vessels. And the disease is more leaded by anaphylaxis and similar with the IgA Nephritis, no matter from disease history, clinic symptoms or immune pathologic change. In daily life, purpura nephritis patients can control the development of the disease through a scientific diet. Patients should know that the early prevention is better than the late treatment. And now some diet tips will listed for patients.
The salt intake:
For purpura nephritis patients without high blood pressure or edema, they don't need limit salt intake. The limitation of salt intake mainly are suggested to patients with high blood pressure or edema for too much salt in body can heavier the high blood pressure and edema, leading to further kidney damage. In addition, patients with less urine and high potassium also need limit salt intake. The proper quantity should keep in 2-3g per day.
The water intake:
Similar with the salt, patients without edema, less urine don't need limit water intake, while patients with edema should decide the water quantity intake according to their specific physical condition. Generally speaking, if patients suffer obvious edema, except the normal diet, they had better limit the water intake in 500-800ml per day and patients with urinary tract infection should drink more water, excreting lots of urine.
The forbidden foods:
Foods such as seafood (shrimp, crab), spicy foods (pepper, garlic, shallot ), caraway, dog meat, horse meat, donkey meat are easy lead to anaphylaxis, leading to more serious damage to patients. Patients should keep the low protein diet. And patients should keep the high vitamin foods.
All in all, purpura nephritis patients should pay more attention to their daily diet under the suggestions of their doctors, and the most important thing for them is the timely treatment. Now if you want to know more information about kidney disease diet or treatment, you can contact our online doctors, leave us messages or send email to email@example.com, we will reply you within 24 hours.

It's true, I officially have a toddler. I'm sure I sat in a time machine and flashed my way to having a one year old, well after the first few long months of course which I think a lot of new mothers can attest to. It's true, you feel like you're a human milk machine running on about 2 hours of sleep, all the while trying to get back to your "normal" life. The funny part is, that once "normal" life quickly fades and is gradually replaced with a whole new normal and you don't know how or when it happened. One minute you're wondering If you'll get a solid nights sleep without wrestling the – oh so brilliant – idea of bringing babe into bed because you're too exhausted to get up one more time, but somehow find just enough energy. And then the next moment, you're humming your favorite tunes while making your husbands favorite meal and glance over and see your "toddler" entertaining herself by flipping through the pages of her favorite book. Which leaves you asking the all too familiar questions, "Where did time go? How did she get so big?"
Even with all the exhaustion, stress, and frustrations I can say it has brought me one most rewarding and enjoyable times of my life. Being a mom is one of the best gifts God grants us women and I wouldn't trade one of those super overwhelming days for anything. God has blessed my little family beyond measures, and for that I am very grateful.
–A huge shout out and special thanks to Amanda Metz (www.amandametz.com) for capturing our little girl on her very special day! She was also the one by our sides the entire day of the delivery and we couldn't be more thankful for her in more ways than she knows !

So. You're a mom in your twenties. Lucky you!
You probably have glowing, youthful skin, like the 20-something-year-old girl in this photo, and not even the tiniest hint of crow's feet.
Life is good.
But even a girl with flawless skin could use a few tips from the pros.
That's where I went to find out their very best makeup advice for moms in their 20s (and don't worry- I'll be addressing women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond in future posts). Check out their top tips after the jump!
1. Face. In your 20s, you probably don't need any foundation -- but if you insist on it, stick with something lightweight. Tinted moisturizer is good, or try a sheer foundation like M.A.C. Face and Body.
2. Eyes. Lucky you! You can basically try anything you want in your twenties, whether you like bold colors, shimmer and sparkle, cream eyeshadows or powders. Just keep in mind that you want your eyes to look young and fresh. Choose neutrals and pastels for daytime over darker colors. Unless you're going clubbing, less is more!
3. Lips. Once again, anything goes. Just keep in mind that if you're doing bold eyes, your lips should be soft and neutral. If you're doing a bold lip, make sure you're not wearing too much eye makeup. For day, opt for lip gloss or stain over heavier lipstick. You probably won't need to use a lip pencil in your twenties. Yes. I'm jealous.
4. Cheeks. Keep them pink and rosy. Powdered blush usually works best for the 20-something year old.
5. Routine. You shouldn't need to spend too much time on your makeup when you're in your twenties. Your makeup routine shouldn't take longer than about 5 minutes, unless you're getting ready for a special occasion. There's just not that much to do- You're already perfect!
6. Cleansing. Yeah, I know. You're really busy and your kids are probably small. But please, ladies. Don't go to bed at night without washing your face. It's really good for your skin and it'll keep you from getting those pesky pimples that you're still probably dealing with.
7. Moisturizing. I made the mistake of thinking I didn't need to moisturize in my twenties. Now, I wish I had. The better you take care of your skin now, the better it will look ten or even twenty years from now. Do as I say, not as I did.
8. SPF. Even more important than moisturizing is wearing SPF every. Single. Day. Every makeup artist I've ever met has driven this point home. This will help hold off wrinkles better than anything else. Many moisturizers have SPF in them now. Get one of those, and also look for SPF products that contain zinc. You'll thank me later.
9. Shimmer. If you've been wanting to try products that shimmer and glimmer, your 20s are the time to do it. They tend to put the spotlight on wrinkles, so women in their 30s and 40s generally need to avoid the sparkly stuff.
10. Love. Take it from me, at 37. LOVE the way you look right now. I was plagued with insecurities about my appearance in my 20s, and now I'd love to have that skin again. My 30s are awesome, but appearance-wise, everything was just a little easier when I was in my 20s. Take a deep breath and be happy with what you've got right now. Physically at least, it will never be this good again.
Most of these tips came from Stephanie Trail, the owner of Salon NFuse here in Nashville. Stephanie's done hair and makeup for lots of Nashville celebs and models-- The woman knows what she's talking about. Thanks for the advice, Steph!
