anissa wrote:mnp13 wrote:How do you know she's "human aggressive"? She jumped up and nipped the trainer who bent over her. She didn't lunge at her snarling and snapping.
I don't know if she is human aggresive. I havent labeled her as so either, so please dont put words in my mouth. I am more concerned that she MIGHT be.. and finding a way to deal with it.. than stamping her as such and getting rid of her.
And you may want to reread what I originally posted.. She DID lunge up at her (feet off the ground), growled and snapped right onto her!
The trainer realized that we were having some problems and came over to speak to us, as soon as she went to acknowledge Jaida.. Jaida lunged up and BIT HER! There wasnt blood, and the trainer took immediate control of her.. but it scared the poop out of me, and Im sure everyone else in that room.
mnp13 wrote:The trainer that Jaida nipped didn't deal with the issue past telling you to sit in the corner... so you should probably seek out someone who knows how to deal with things like this.
pitbullmamaliz wrote:As a representative of the rescue that assisted Anissa and Jaida, I feel it necessary to defend us - we NEVER push dogs on people or lie about their behaviors to make them seem better. Anissa can vouch for the fact that we told her straight up that Jaida is dog-aggressive while on leash, plays roughly/loudly, and needs some training. Jaida was juggled from home to home to home during fostering mainly due to rescue politics, which I feel is a sad state of affairs. I handled Jaida at an adopt-a-thon at a very busy zoo all day long, and yeah, she couldn't be around the other dogs, but she wasn't phased at all by kids/people coming running up to her and putting their hands all over her. I think last night happened simply because it was a new environment, Anissa was probably a little tense due to Jaida barking/lunging at the dogs, and that transmitted down the leash so the trainer was just kind of the final straw. I agree with Anissa and everybody else that it's time to find a new trainer.
I know the first response to a dog biting is 'it needs to be put down'.. but Im not sure if I can live with that guilt.
Romanwild wrote:That the hard truth. It's not just HA dogs though. I feel terrible this week because I couldn't find a foster home for a dog that attack a calf at the local fair.
He wasn't HA but obviosly AA. Our local shelter was over capacity and had 3 non AG Pit Bulls ready to go. I had three days to get a foster and couldn't find one. They have to put him down because the don't adopt out AG Pit Bulls. What are you going to do. That's the reality. I feel like I stuck the needle in him.
Romanwild wrote:I only did public classes once then decided I would be better off in a all pit bull class for the most part.

Guilt has nothing to do with it. If you own this breed, IMO, you have to be able to do this if necessary. You mention not being able to live with the guilt. I'm not sure I could live with another dog biting someone because of an irresponsible (phrasing, not directed at you) owner.
I have zero tolerance for Human Aggression (again, not diagnosing this as human aggro, far too few details), and would have no problem putting a dog down if it was necessary. It's a 'necessary evil' when owning this breed, IMHO.

"I agree with this. Most experienced trainers aren't even fazed by a nip. They're not ususally happy about it, but will certainly give you some behavior modification tequiques, or work a bit more with the dog to see exactly what type of aggression it was and go from there."
Most experienced dog trainers learn how to avoid being bitten, unless they are wearing a sleeve. That was not a Schutzhund slam, guys, I admire and support those of you who do.
Julie K, fingers and toes intact
and as far as 'biting' the trainer.. had the damn trainer had enough sense not to just walk up to a dog unexpectedly, we would have walked out of there proud as hell.

Hey all! This is Micah with another video showing off what's new with the editor! So check out the video and see what you're gonna get to play with!
Frustrating asymmetrical ship building is a thing of the past with the addition of Symmetry to Blockade Runner's Editor! To begin, you start by setting the position of a symmetry field. After a field is set, any action done on one side will be duplicated on the other side. The fields can be added to all three axises (X, Y, Z) allowing for even quicker symmetrical ship building!
Other fun abilities with the symmetry tool include...
- Placement of a symmetry field inside a single block or in-between two blocks (allowing both symmetrical and asymmetrical ships)
- Lock the placement direction for more specific placement.
- Individual fields can be toggled on and off, remembering their last locations.
- "Symmify", replacing everything on the other side of the symmetry fields with a mirror copy of your side.
- Every shape works with mirror and undo.
More on the Editor as we go, so check back soon for more news on Blockade Runner!
- Micah
Think the symmetrical tool will help in your ship building? Comment below or head over to the forum post or the article post and let us know!

An overseas Filipino worker is seeking justice for having been physically abused by her husband when she went home for a Christmas vacation.
In a lengthy Facebook post on January 3, 2015, Racedha Autor narrated her unfortunate plight in the hands of her own hubby, Jilvinson Bandivas Pagaling.
Racedha said they had a quarrel and separated on December 23, 2014. She lived with her parents since.
On December 25, she said Jilvinson texted and asked her to get their children from their house because he would look for a job.
On December 31st, Jilvinson texted again and told her to come over to his house in Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City because their car already has a buyer and she needed to sign some documents for the deal.
Racedha said she went there the following day along with her kids, mother, stepfather and stepmother. When they arrived, the suspect suddenly drove the children and her stepmother out of the house, leaving the couple alone inside.
There, Jilvinson allegedly punched Racedha in the abdomen and face then choked her. He also allegedly dragged Racedha to the kitchen where he burnt her in the face with a frying pan and repeatedly kicked her legs.
While Racedha was trying to escape, the suspect allegedly pointed a gun on her head and threatened to kill her. When she was able to get out of the house, the OFW said she was beaten up by her husband in front of their children.
The suspect went into hiding following the domestic violence.
Here's a screenshot of the victim's Facebook post, followed by a video of the news report.

It seems like I'm unconsciously forming this habit of posting entries every two weeks… not that everyone aka my random viewers mind. In case that you really care, here's what I've been currently up to.
Reference materials for my Hausarbeit. My next step is to start writing, which I should be doing now but will wait for the christmas break to do it. Or, will probably start next year and cram.
to a random video my brother is watching.
of my Christmas wishlist. I actually wrote down a couple of things and sent the list to my older brother, to which he replied, "Do you want me to buy everything?". They were basically cheap and just personal necessities. His reply got me thinking, should I wish for something special? A bag, shoes, shirt, perhaps? But then again, I don't need those. I don't want them.
My younger brother asked about it too, and told him he can just go and buy me a colored ink for my printer. "Eine Tinte? Heh?", my baffled brother replied. I mean, should I wish for something else then? Should Christmas gifts have to be extravagant?
This is personally not a big of a deal but since my list is questioned, I am pressured to think and write one. If it were up to me, I would just write a list of the things I do not want to receive, namely shoes, clothes, jewelry, fancy bag. That wouldn't be such a bad idea, aint it?
gifts for Christmas. This is what I really like to do.
the nightly boardgames at home. From Chess to Dama to Quiz Nights.
how these boardgames bring out the nasty competitiveness in the family. In the middle of our games, there'll always be bullying, shouting, arguing, etc etc. My father had to act as the referee all the time. Don't worry though, the competitiveness ends when the game ends. Still, our game gets serious.
Black Mirror. I'm three seasons late
a Swiss cheese fondue. Me and my small group had dinner last Tuesday at our prayer group's leader's house. She wanted to do something special and prepared a lovely cheese fondue for us first timers. Being the Asian that I am, I asked for meat. No shame!
Looking forward to
- the christmas break in two weeks! I can finally sleep and hopefully, run!!!!
2. Tomorrow's buffet! We are celebrating my Papa's 60th birthday and it's our tradition to spend it at a buffet. Haha
I wish I could write more of what I've been up to but I've got an early start tomorrow and should be sleeping right now. So, see you in two weeks…. which is Christmas!!!!

hello...welcome to the mad house
so this is me in my natural habitat. my workshop is the place i feel most safe, hidden away from reality, and i can dream up stories and ink down images as they pop into my mind. i'm usually sat in that black swivel chair, chewing on my pen and staring out into the garden.
the location is amazing, my workshop is in my parents garden, which means a beautiful view of fields, vegetable patches, chickens and the rabbit. (and it's only a short hop skip and jump away from the house when i need another cup of strawberry tea).
'the owls that sleep under red skies'
'pink car'
'seaside rock'
all these were done with pen and ink onto board.
had some fun today doodling these, i was feeling a little bit, not stuck but something close to that. so i took a break from what i like to think is me actually trying to make some money and just got fancy with the inks :)
hope you guys like!
last night i think i started the slippery decent into madness...a tiny thought entered my head, and that thought said 'hey millie, wouldn't it be swell if you knew how to make paper cranes?' so on the internet i popped, and got instructions to make them. i'll just do one i thought, thinking i would probably give up halfway through. but that is not what happened. oh deary me. it was like an addiction, i just couldn't stop! and i'm still not cured. all last night i made paper birds and then today i made some more! what is wrong with meeeee?
on the bright side of life, they are mighty cute :)
hope y'all having a good weekend!

Data collection for business intelligence purposes is exploding thanks to emerging hardware and software technologies that enable the management and storage of almost unlimited amounts of information. Often data integration projects fail due to unexpected cost and time overruns. At Astera, we believe a data integration solution should be simple and seamless, freeing up decision-makers to focus more on the data and less on the actual act of integration. Centerprise offers a next-generation integration platform that distills complicated coding into simple drag-and-drop operations that can be performed by business users with little or no IT supervision. By offering a user-friendly and intuitive visual environment free of manual coding, we've significantly reduced the time and cost associated with enterprise information integration.
Modern technologies enable organizations to collect and store terabytes of data from virtually any source imaginable. This presents a challenge to reliably integrate and store data in a way that allows for meaningful reporting and analysis for operations and business intelligence. Our data warehousing solutions streamline design, implementation and maintenance, all in an intuitive, easy to use interface.
Astera provides a solution with DWAccelerator, which empowers IT and business teams to deliver on data warehouse promises. DWAccelerator provides complete functionality for today's demanding data storage and analysis requirements, including automated integration flows, superior performance, usability, scalability, change data capture for fast throughput, and wide connectivity to popular databases and file formats.
Data mapping, is the key initial step in a wide variety of data integration processes that require converting data from one source into a format that matches that of the destination location. While there are numerous data mapping tools available in the market, most are not designed for complex, hierarchical data conversions and require workarounds, multi-step processes, and custom programming that are difficult to create and expensive to maintain. Centerprise database mapping software has been specially developed for complex data mapping. It reduces or eliminates the need for hand coding and automates many tedious tasks, saving human resource time and resulting in fewer errors and higher quality, more reliable data.
Astera ReportMiner data extraction software provides a complete solution for end-to-end data extraction and integration. ReportMiner enables you to liberate business data trapped in documents such as PDFs, PDF forms, PRN, TXT, XLS, and XLSX so you can integrate it into your company's main database for operations and business intelligence applications. With ReportMiner, data extraction from source documents is only the beginning of the data ingestion process. ReportMiner goes far beyond data extraction to help users achieve automated integration of dataâfrom extraction, to sophisticated transformation and mapping, to load, and beyond to job scheduling and maintenance.
EDIConnect is a complete solution for accurate and efficient bi-directional EDI data integration. It offers EDI capability in an intuitive user interface with visual tools to build bi-directional integration. With built-in transaction sets for incoming file translation and ingestion, advanced data mapping, validation, and correction capabilities to better manage data ingestion, fast and easy outgoing transaction construction, acknowledgement generation, and automation, process orchestration, and scheduling, EDIConnect delivers the power and scalability to meet the most demanding EDI needs.
"Great ETL tool, with excellent support. We have been using Centerprise for 3 years now, and it is used throughout our integration department."
"WOW Why did we wait soooo long? Centerprise has reduced our lead time for conversions and increased our efficiencies as a conversion team."
"I've found Centerprise to be one of the most comprehensive and robust data integration tools in the market. It provides an endless number of great features to address any data transformation need."

I am done.
scrappy-bee blocks will enjoy his donkey block. I do think he turned out pretty cute. I am excited to have one project done.
However, since it is almost the beginning of the month I have new bee blocks coming in. Plus I only have a very short time to finish my peaceful green baby quilt. Like under 10 days. So I will be starting that tomorrow.

I had a lot of trouble getting it to work, even contacted the developers and we confirmed I was doing right (programming wise). But the problem was the lower operating voltage of the Chipkit.
No pictures yet, but the difference is spectacular: 16+1 colors and no flickering!
The 4X CPU speed of the Chipkit really shines here, and as an additional bonus, it seems I'm able to update the columns at 20 MHz speed instead of 5MHz, another speed increase of 400% right out of the box! I'm using regular digitalWrites with hardware SPI, so I figure I could push the refreshrate up a notch if needed.
Now I can focus on getting the display system back on track, continue on the serial communication, SD card reading, etc...
But I'd still say -
Chipkit, you sure were worth the trouble!

Sunday's Hymn: For the New Year
May the Mind of Christ My Savior---Kate B. Wilkinson (Listen.)
May the mind of Christ, my Savior,
Live in me from day to day,
By His love and power controlling
All I do and say.
May the Word of God dwell richly
In my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph
Only through His power.
May the peace of God my Father
Rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort
Sick and sorrowing.
May the love of Jesus fill me
As the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing,
This is victory.
May I run the race before me,
Strong and brave to face the foe,
Looking only unto Jesus
As I onward go.
May His beauty rest upon me,
As I seek the lost to win,
And may they forget the channel,
Seeing only Him.
I've used this as the New Year's hymn before, but I like it, so I'm using it again. It reminds us that in order to keep our resolutions, we depend on our union with Christ's resurrected life and the life in the Spirit that comes from it. Yep, the same Spirit that introduced us to life as new creation keeps on working within us, producing the "good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them." (Ephesians 2:10 NET)

Film- maker, Juliette Dalton from 2DiceProductionz, arrived on day 3 with a enthusiasm reflecting her passion for projects such as PDP. This energy is so invaluable to other independent project makers like myself. What was intended to be 3 minute promo was edited in to a 10 minute docu-film about the PDP pilot because her mission is providing platforms for young people's voices. The poets did not disappoint her. It was to be a concentrated day of packed with writing, performance techniques and debate strategizing.
Watch the PDP poets, myself and Sam Berkson talk about the resonance of training days. Great result. Thank you 2Dice!

text: THE SENATE took another shot at passing a concealed weapons licensing law Wednesday, but it ran out of time and delayed the issue until today. Twice before, Senate Minority Leader Richard Langley, R-Clermont, had run afoul of time limitations in trying to add the licensing measure to other crime bills. His amendment to a bill (SB 661) would pre-empt local rules and allow people to carry concealed weapons with a state permit. Now they must get a different one for every county in which they may travel.

After an inspired time in Florida last winter, I am pleased to announce my first exhibit of etchings. I learned the process from my friend and teacher, master printer Ron Garrett at his studio Raga Press in Boca Raton. We began with linocuts, moved on to Plexiglass etching, then graduated to metal plates, first zinc then copper. It is a wonderful somewhat mysterious process that blends my hand craft skills with my drawing ability, and balances control with surprise in a great balance.
My printmaking pursuits were extended with a workshop in Hudson, NY at Inky Editions with Lisa Mackie, producing prints with yet another new technique called carborundum. All to be continued.

According to recent statistics, Facebook has more than 800 million active users, a significant part of the estimated figure of 7.062 billion population of the world as given by the United States Census Bureau (USCB) and is a record breaking social networking site with the largest number of users. Its significance does not only lie in its popularity, but also in the traffic that it brings with itself and the huge potential that marketing has with it. This is the reason why almost every company you have probably heard of has a page on Facebook. All the business houses, either large scale companies or small ones, know the importance of this particular social networking site and the tremendous opportunity it creates for the business. This is the reason that Facebook is made a part of important marketing and advertising strategies and is given preference over the other mediums in terms of increasing the sales.
It is considered that, a person not having a Facebook page belong to the Stone Age. This actually is not true, but business owners need to be skeptical in their approach and instead of questioning the importance of their Facebook pages, they should give more time to get a killer Facebook page for their small business. There is absolutely nothing to lose since Facebook is absolutely free and all you are doing is getting free publicity. If that is not all, Facebook ensures that your company is getting freely advertised (unless you decide to spend money on Pay per Clicks) and using the skills of your web designers or you yourself, you can create a business page that showcases your products and services and has the capacity to lure in more clients. If you are not too sure what to do after creating a Facebook page to make it look more awesome, you should strongly consider going through the following tips:
Linking page to your Business website:
If you have an official website for your company, you can link it to your Facebook page. If you want your Facebook followers to directly see your website, you can place important links on the page so that whenever someone clicks on it, the page will land to your website. You can even upload your blogs regularly by typing in the URL of the website on which your blog is getting hosted or the RSS fed's URL and placing the link on your Facebook page. This will ensure that any kind of activity including getting comments, like or shares will directly get updated on your Facebook page without troubling you to do everything again.
Attractive Logo:
A Logo is a must for your company. Irrespective of the scale of your business, a logo is very essential. It symbolizes and represents the company and cannot be ignored. It also creates a specific brand for the company and works wonderfully towards its marketing. The Logo Company is a globally renowned company that has been designing professional logo for a long time and has an extensive list of clients. The company focuses on creating unique logo designs for your small-scale business so that the business can create substantial credibility as well as interest among your followers on your Facebook page.
Getting a Strong Fan Base:
One of the main reasons that most of the businesses create a Facebook page is to attract customers. Since Facebook is a social networking platform that has no barrier of language or borders, it works on a global platform and customers from all across the world can see your services. It therefore becomes a necessity from the part of these businesses to get as many fans as possible. The larger the fan group, the better the chances of the page getting free publicity. Issue a call to action whereby you make strategies keeping in mind the tactics to hook on the fans and getting more and more likes for your page.
You can use attractive images, design and logos for attracting more fans and add location of your company. You can even add on your friends, employees and family members and ask them to refer your page to their set of friends so that your network increases. A method that has found prominence in order to get more fans is by buying them. Yes there are various websites that offer you close to twenty likes on your fan page for each dollar spent. So if you have a slightly higher budge, you can easily spend on this to increase your network and popularize your business.
Basic Secrets Revealed:
Let us reveal some secrets just for you! Well Facebook can do a lot of things to your business than you can actually think of and so can you. You can add an option of Favorite Pages where you can recommend the business of other companies and ask them to do the same. This would help in cross promoting both the businesses and provide you with a larger customer base.
Another secret is to get a Facebook reveal tab whereby you can hide some contents from those who are not a fan of your page and add additional discount links and exciting offers for your existing fans. You can give a hint to these offers and mention that only the fans will be getting the offer once they like a page under the reveal tab. This will create an excitement and increase the traffic towards your page.
You can try out different strategies than the other businesses by placing a share button instead of like. This will ensure that more and more people will share your post and will bring in more users. You can add flash contents and pop up windows and increase the user interaction on your profile too.
These tips will surely make your Facebook business page stand out from the crowd. You need to ensure that proper focus is given to this particular social networking site and accordingly work towards that. Facebook is a great platform to showcase your business and the best part about it is that, Facebook is free and if in case these tricks do not work for you (the chances are very less though, you can delete your page any time. So although you are on a shoestring budget, Facebook has something for all!

Wrinkles of the City is a beautiful street art series that pays respect to the elderly residents of Istanbul. The large-scale portraits of these individuals grace the roofs and walls of 15 different buildings in the Turkish city. Although many people might believe it simply represents a celebration of life lived, there is more to the series than first meets the eye.
Created by French Artist JR, the Wrinkles of the City series touches on the changes of the city as much as the people. He says, "Wrinkles of the City project paints a picture of the twentieth century by exploring the lives of those who witnessed their cities become scarred by the course of history, economic growth and socio-cultural changes. Its goal was for the elderly's personal stories to symbolically confront the walls of their city, and for the city and its inhabitants to confront their wrinkles and the stories of their elderly."

The classroom and the office are the two main settings where we learn about the practice of architecture, yet both expect the other to fill in more than a few gaps. Maybe schools shouldn't emphasize the "technical details" and instead focus on teaching how to design; or maybe a little technical knowledge would be great preparation for that first job out of school (where you won't get to design much more than a straight line). No matter which ideology you subscribe to, there will always be a disconnect between the classroom and the office.
Our webcomic, Architexts, features a character named Tim who attends school at an unnamed, practice-based architecture program. Tim faces all the challenges one would expect when attending a demanding educational program, while also working full-time in the profession.
Whether you were a full-time student, a part-time student that worked full-time, or an educator, we want to hear your experiences and insights for our forthcoming book, Architects, LOL. Check out Architexts for information on submitting your stories and insights for this book.

Today is a catch-up day. I realized in embarrassment that I haven't posted anything since late April! The last few months passed in a flurry of travel, but fortunately, the travel included some really good food. But first, here is a Hong Kong-based post featuring one of my favorite foods of all time: Dumplings.
In late April, my friend A and I had a long-overdue reunion. She invited me to watch her boyfriend P play volleyball for the South China Athletic Association. Every week they faced a different opponent in a different locale and that given week, they were playing in Sham Shui Po. Of course, I'm never in Sham Shui Po so I promptly went online for lunch ideas. I stumbled upon a promising restaurant called (simply) Shandong Dumpling Restaurant, named after a Chinese province. The place was conveniently located near the MTR station.
The menu has a long list of dumplings and wontons, along with typical "northern dishes" including cold Chinese salads and some hot stir-fries. It seemed like all the dumplings could be served in noodles with soup as well. In the end we ordered the shredded chicken salad, and three types of dumplings: beef (A's favorite), pork and chives (my favorite), and – a new one for me – fennel and pork (P's favorite).
The dumplings came ten to a plate, all plump and steamy in their carb-and-protein glory. I bit into my first one – pork and chives – and was extremely impressed. First, the filling was actually well-seasoned; I can't even begin to count how many Hong Kong dumplings I've tasted with ultra-bland filling. Second – the crucial element that jumped this unassuming Sham Shui Po joint to my favorite dumpling place in HK – the wrap was carefully crafted to produce a delightfully chewy, full-of-springback texture. In Mandarin, we might say it has good jiao ji-er, or literally "chew power". The skin was thick enough to really add some substance to the dumpling, so it wasn't just an overbearing meat dish, but truly, a dish with meat and dough. These dumplings received the highest compliment from me, that being: They tasted just like the way we make them at home.
The highlight of my meal, though, were the fennel and pork dumplings. I'd seen this on many dumpling menus before, particularly the one at my all-time favorite dumpling place in the world, Beijing's Tianjin Bai Jiao Yuan. It's called hui xiang (茴香) in Mandarin, and I'd never known the English translation. Anyways, it's fennel, and it's awesome in dumplings. It gives the filling a bit of dill-like flavor. It's a strong taste, and definitely not for the weak-of-taste-buds. But for those willing to try a new thing, you may be very pleasantly surprised. I think it gives the filling a bit more kick.
I will add, also, that the dumplings here were definitely better than the cold salads. The shredded chicken salad, while good combined with the cucumbers and peanut sauce it was served with, was not great and I probably wouldn't order it again. The dumplings though – oh man the dumplings! I wish I lived closer to this place; I'd be eating there all the time (especially with the reasonable prices). I did notice, however, that you can order frozen dumplings to go – next time I'm in the neighborhood, perhaps?
Note: The place seemed to only have a Chinese menu. Therefore, it'd be smart to visit with your Chinese-reading friends. Or at least the ones who are proficient enough in food vocab!

Children's Hospital, Boston
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The design of medical technologies for developing countries is a multidisciplinary process. We describe a model process for an appropriate medical device design. D-Lab Health combines real world projects and partners with a diverse student team to provide experiential educational opportunities in a developing country health care setting; in turn, the partners benefit from student medical device designs. In order to effectively communicate practical design strategies toward an appropriate design for medical technology, a series of accelerated technology learning modules was developed using commercially available and customized medical devices. Each module included a formal framework for the students to think about the competing priorities of the user, chooser, payer, and approver of such global health technologies, christened the "global health innovation compass." These modules provided a hands-on laboratory experience that demystified the design process. This was particularly useful for nonengineering students who were able to add value to the project through their life-sciences background. An essential component of the course was a week-long visit to our field partners in Nicaragua to enable the students to get first hand experience and to identify a health need they could address with a technology solution. Subsequently, the students utilized their hands-on training to develop medical device prototypes within an abbreviated production schedule of 3 weeks. We describe the design process for one such prototype "a low cost glucometer."

Watch What Happens When a College Kid Tries to Interrupt a Live Weather Report
Don't be a punk and mess with The Weather Channel's Jim Cantore when he's covering a nasty winter storm. A college kid tried it last night in Charleston, South Carolina, and found out first hand that Jim has cat-like reflexes. Not only did Cantore deliver a knee to the poor kid's crotch, he did it without skipping a beat. Respect.

This classic Danish dish is a healthy way to kick off the new year. It feels decadent and celebratory, but is actually packed with good for you omega 3 fatty acids, protein, and vitamin C. Be sure to choose wild salmon when shopping for this recipe. Farm raised salmon doesn't contain the same ratio of beneficial omegas as its wild counterpart. You can also serve this with thinly sliced cucumbers in place of chips. For a dairy free version, simply omit the sour cream- it will still taste delicious!

1⅜" (34mm) Real Leather Belt with Brushed Nickel finish Buckle.
We make our Women's and Men's leather belts from the best quality Italian hides. Unlike a lot of mass produced belts, our handmade soft, grainy Bullhide and smooth Cowhide belts are made from just one solid 3 – 3.5mm thick piece of leather; they are not several thicknesses of leather and cardboard glued and stitched together and they are guaranteed not to crack or split. As part of the hand-finishing process, we bevel the edges of the belts and we use high quality buckles. All this ensures that our belts will last for years and will improve with age.
Sizes: Our belts may be ordered online up to a 46″ waist. If you need a larger size than this please email us your size details and also which size and colour you require as sometimes we do have larger hides that we can cut longer belts from. We will contact you asap.
Choosing which belt size to order:
Please order the same size belt as your trousers or jeans. For example, if you normally wear 36″ trousers or jeans, then choose a size 36″ from the drop down list of sizes below. This belt size will actually measure more than 36″ to the middle hole, as we allow for the belt going over your clothing.
Please do not order the total length of the leather as we do not size our belts by that method.

Another wee quilt in the shop. This one features Kate Spain's gorgeous Central Park line, as well as a few Oval Elements by Art Gallery, and of course, plenty of Kona - Snow, Taupe and binding in Celery. This quilt was born out of an idea I had for a block - and it came together just the way I saw it in my head - love when that happens! lol
The quilt is heavily quilted (between 1/3 and 1/2 of an inch apart) in wavy lines, that give it a particularly delicious feel and sense of movement. It measures 39" x 40" post washing and drying, and is so ridiculously textural and snuggly that I am going to have to put it away or risk wearing out the fabric from *petting* it!
I really really like this fabric line...I can sense another Central Park creation here soon...or at least the fabric stashing for it!

The other day I wrote about how people are going around the barricade at Newark & Madison.
Yesterday I was walking to Crossfit Hoboken, and what did I see? I cruiser parked on Newark between Madison & Monroe, waiting. I walk up to the police officer and ask him to roll down his window. I said, "Too bad you are in a marked car - if you had an undercover car you would be catching a lot of people!"
He replied, "Already caught two people going around the barricade."
Good. Its the first time in THREE years that I ever saw a police car parked there nabbing people. We have some fanatics who cry about everything in this town, but that's where I want my tax dollars spent - safety. News just came out today that the police caught a suspect who has been plaguing our town stealing packages.
Hats off to the Hoboken Police. Great job! I like seeing more proactive police work rather than just reacting to a 911 phone call. Keep up the good work. Now, if someone is reading this at City Hall, can I talk to you about re-painting the crosswalks along Newark Street? Also would love to see a stop sign at Newark and Clinton, on the Eastbound side, while we are at it.

Finally got around to trying to rig the second sail that came with my used sailing outrigger.
Almost, but not quite...
Luff sleeve exceeds mast length by 2" and a mast-tip extension is not going to happen.
But there is a conveniently-sized 6" piece at the tip of the sail that, if removed, would give me that 2" plus 4" more for downhaul adjustment - giving me a slightly (8") flat-top sail.
I have read cautions about re-cutting a pointy-top sail to make it flat-top destroying the integrity/shape of the sail.
But would this small of a change have a significant effect?
I could fool with the foot, but that seems to open a bigger can of worms sewing/seam-wise.

Tokio Marine moves its EU base to Luxembourg
Today, Tokio Marine announced that it will establish its new European subsidiary in Luxembourg following the UK's decision to leave the European Union. Tokio Marine is aiming to have the new insurance company operational within the first half of 2018 to enable Tokio Marine HCC and Tokio Marine Kiln to start writing business, including with Japanese customers.
The oldest Japanese insurer joins leading global insurers AIG, FM Global, CNA Hardy, Hiscox, RSA and Liberty Mutual who have also chosen Luxembourg as their new EU base to ensure that they can continue to serve their European client base without interruption.
According to Tokio Marine, Luxembourg was chosen thanks to its pro-business position, strong financial services experience and well-respected and robust regulator, as well as its geographic location at the centre of Europe.
Barry Cook, CEO of Tokio Marine HCC said: "Post-Brexit, Luxembourg is likely to become an important market place for property and casualty insurance in Europe and we are looking forward to contributing to that new development."
Tokio Marine HCC and Tokio Marine Kiln are part of the Japanese Tokio Marine Group. Established in 1879 as Japan's first non-life insurance company, Tokio Marine Group has been expanding its business globally from the domestic non-life insurance business to the life insurance business and the international insurance business.

Did you hear? They reprinted Cryptic Command, only here's the thing. In order to play with it, you have to admit Paul Rietzl was right. Boros is the future.
Gatecrash is proving to be no joke, and this past week the big preview cards took a turn for the Boros. The Boros color combination was one of the few two-color combinations that wasn't supported in Return to Ravnica to enjoy a reasonable amount of success regardless. Recent Boros decks have tended to be fairly aggressive, ranging anywhere from W/R Humans to Tokens with Hellrider to R/W Aggro. Now two powerful new weapons for Boros have been revealed that are sure to thrust the color combination into the top tier.
First off, what is possibly the sickest of all ten Guild Charms:
This card is so pure Boros that it's even illustrated by Zoltan Boros!
Sure, all the Charms are decent, right? What makes this one so special? Some cards take a little while for the community as a whole to fully appreciate. Boros Charm seems to have immediately struck a chord with the tournament scene, already being hyped as one of the top cards in the set.
They're right.
Sometimes the strong cards are relatively straightforward, clearly awesome, and uncommon.
That doesn't answer the question, though. What makes Boros Charm so good? After all, Lava Spike, Rootborn Defenses, and Double Cleave aren't exactly dominating the tournament scene. Besides, Double Cleave kind of overlaps with both Lava Spike (if you use it on an unblocked creature) and with Rootborn Defenses (if you use it as a combat trick). I thought the Charms were better the more different the abilities?
Well, just to be clear, raw power is still a massive factor, and the first two abilities are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum. If the card did only those two, it would still be absolutely excellent. Even if the third mode only gets used 5-10% of the time, it is all just gravy. Now, what if I told you that mode is actually being a little underrated? Let's get back to it in a minute. First, let's look at the first two and why they already ensure the card's success.
To understand Boros Charm, we must understand how good an instant that makes all your permanents indestructible is. Remember, Rootborn Defenses only protects your creatures. Boros Charm doesn't just counter Ultimate Price or Supreme Verdict; it can actually counter Naturalize or Wasteland, to say nothing of owning Armageddon.
It doesn't stop there, though. Need a Fog? Block with all your guys, and none of them die in combat (not to mention the possibility of taking a few attackers down). Need to protect your planeswalker from a Maelstrom Pulse? Boros Charm can do that.
Need a Giant Growth? Sometimes, making your team indestructible is like Giant Growthing everyone.
Need a Brave the Elements to protect your team from Earthquake? Boros Charm does a lot more than that, and Brave the Elements was a four-of in Paul Rietzl's Pro Tour Amsterdam winning Extended deck.
While "countering" Supreme Verdict is obviously ability #1 on this format-changer, it actually does so much more. What about countering Shatterstorm? Countering a Pernicious Deed activation? Absolutely blowing out Obliterate in an epic fashion? The indestructible mode alone is already more versatile than some Charms.
How much would we pay to make all our permanents indestructible? How good would such a card be for two mana? How about one?
Well, for one mana, the card would certainly be at a far greater power level than anything remotely close to it ever has been. That card would be Lightning Bolt good. Possibly better. Just imagine using that card in Modern, in Legacy. It would certainly be better than Flameslash, which is a pretty fantastic card.
What about two mana? Now we are getting into the realm of printable cards. A two-mana counterspell for most spot removal spells, most sweepers, most land destruction? A two-mana combat trick that saves your entire team? Even Bonfire of the Damned isn't always such a good topdeck anymore! I am confident that at two making all your permanents indestructible would be a quality Constructed tournament card.
What's the big deal? Boros Charm costs two. Why does getting this ability for two mana have everyone going out of their minds?
Here's a question for you. What would you think of RW instant deal four damage to target creature or player?
This card would be absolutely incredible, right? Searing Spear is a very popular tournament card, and that card would be about as more powerful as Lightning Bolt is to Shock. No question, if we had Boros Blast we would roll out the red carpet for the card.
Could Boros Charm be better?
Boros Blast is basically a spell with two modes, deal four damage to target creature and deal four damage to target player. Boros Charm, like Boros Blast, has the four damage to a player ability (which is not just one damage more than Lava Spike but is at instant speed). I mean, Patrick Sullivan plays Flame Rift in Legacy, and this one doesn't deal four damage to you...
What about four damage to a creature? How good is Flameslash? It would be a great one-mana spell, to be sure, and too good as an instant. It might even be playable as a two-mana instant. How does that compare to the indestructibility mode of Boros Charm? Both would be too good as one-mana instants and both would be good at two mana, but I think you have to give the edge to the indestructible version. Regardless of which is actually slightly ahead of the other, the point stands that the two effects are in the same league as each other.
Part of the beauty of burn spells that hit creatures and players is that the "modes" are so opposite each other. When one mode isn't good, the other is. The same is true for Boros Charm. Does your opponent have creatures? Making your guys indestructible helps win combat. Does your opponent have no creatures? Making your permanents indestructible helps against their removal. Maybe your opponent is just trying to beat you with a planeswalker or assemble a combo; now four to the dome can help with the walker or the race.
Boros Charm could stop with the first two abilities and be a stone-cold killer. We haven't even touched on the possibility of combining with your own mass removal. We are starting to talk about a non-inconsequential amount of mana, but Boros Charm plus Supreme Verdict is certainly one way to win a creature standoff. Combine Boros Charm with Armageddon and things are looking pretty one-sided.
Ok, so the card is sweet. What about that "third" ability (as though the first two abilities weren't actually seven in disguise)? What are we supposed to do with double strike that we can't do with four to the nug or turbo-indestructibility 9000?
Remember how people were initially underwhelmed by Jace's bounce ability? After all, why should you have to -1 to get Unsummon when Brainstorm costs 0? Still, Jace's bounce ability proved to be a tactical monster. Sure, you Brainstorm far more often than you Unsummon, but when you Unsummon, it could be game winning. It's a powerful option when it matters.
What does this have to do with double strike?
We aren't going to use the double strike ability as much as the other two, but when we do, it is often going to be crazy good. Just look at the most straightforward application, using double strike when it will amount to more damage than the four to the face does. That means it is necessarily dealing five or more damage for one card and two mana!
The most common sources of mega-double damage out of a Boros deck are likely to be Champion of the Parish and Sublime Archangel, but there are actually countless possibilities. This card is certainly not a purely Boros card. Playing R/W/U? Give your Thundermaw Hellkite double strike and that's five right there. Aurelia, the Warleader? Take an extra six. Playing Naya? Thragtusk, Thundermaw, Wolfir Silverheart, and Kessig Wolf Run are all obvious possibilities.
Another feature of Boros Charm is that it doubles damage triggers. The most obvious of these is Stromkirk Noble, but what about equipment? Have a Jitte or Sword of Feast and Famine on your creature? Get paid twice. You can actually pull this trick off with Sword of War and Peace, though you have to Boros Charm the creature before equipping the Sword. Do it, however, and your opponent is not likely to survive the attack. Standard is not exactly short of Boros Charm combos, either. Runechanter's Pike in a R/W/U deck just got a lot deadlier!
Ever wanted to Assault Strobe your Immolating Souleater? Boros Charm is a lot more flexible and could lead to some interesting double strike combo decks. Double strike isn't just a way to kill opponents, however. You can also use it as a crude form of removal. Let's say you have several relatively smaller creatures and your opponent has a big one. Giving double strike to the one they block might not save your guy, but it does let you take down their only threat.
Now, let's imagine we are playing a more midrange deck. We attack with Restoration Angel, and they surprise us by blocking with their own Restoration Angel. A timely Boros Charm is functionally a removal spell for their Angel.
Here's another possibility. Let's imagine we are attacking with Hellrider and our opponent blocks with a lifelinker, like Vampire Nighthawk. Sure, we could make our guy indestructible and save him that way, but double strike actually gives us a little more value, letting us first strike the Nighthawk down before our opponent can gain two life.
Whether it is little edges, like that extra two life or an extra point of damage with our Thundermaw, or savage haymakers, like combining double strike with Runechanter's Pike, the double strike option of Boros is actually a very nice option on an already unreal powerful card.
Boros Charm is actually as good as they say.
It's going to be interesting to see the implications of this card. My first thought is that this is going to have a big influence on what sorts of removal people play. For instance, both Mutilate and Terminus look a bit more appealing and Supreme Verdict and Bonfire less so.
Boros Charm is going to be a killer in Boros Aggro, no question, but it is so pushy that it is going to show up in a variety of places that one might not expect, including quite a few midrange strategies. Interestingly, it is also likely to be so good in some places that it eventually becomes overhyped and people will start putting it all sorts of places it doesn't belong. After all, if you don't have permanents that are getting destroyed, you are missing out on the best part!
Verdict: Multiple format staple.
Boros is no one-trick pony, however. Boros Charm wasn't even the only epic, format-impacting Boros card previewed this past week! Remember that Cryptic Command from earlier? How about:
So, XRW Instant - Just go ahead and do whatever you want. You were going to anyway.
What does this even mean? Ok, to start with, ever heard of Rolling Thunder? Yeah, this card is better in half a dozen ways.
What about Fireball? Let's see, instant speed and costs nothing to split up, not to mention being able to split it unevenly? Ok, we are already talking about a nice one. But we haven't even gotten started on this card's text. What's up with this set giving Boros more options than Wall Street?
When you hit creatures, you tap them? So this is mostly a way of giving the card "Kicker 1: Tap target creature." Ok, that is pretty awesome. That means the card just gets "make all your creatures unblockable" or "Fog" for free. After all, the card is Turnabout. However, it doesn't have to be just tap them all; you can mix and match however you want.
Let's say our opponent has a Snapcaster Mage, a Restoration Angel, and a Thragtusk. Maybe we kill the Mage and the Angel and tap the Thragtusk, maybe we kill the Mage, tap the other two, and send a little to the face. Hell, you can literally just make up whatever text you want. Why not Time Walk them too?
Oh wait, you actually can do that?
That's right, this is an instant, so you can Fury them on their upkeep, kill the Mage, tap both the Angel and the Thragtusk, and send one to the face all for just six mana. Not only have you removed all of their blockers and poked them, they can't even cast noncreature spells this turn! No Supreme Verdict. No Terminus. No miracled Bonfire.
It appears that Boros is supposed to be the anti-sweeper guild. Interesting.
Need to stop a combo deck from going off? Aurelia's Fury is most of a Silence for just three mana.
Need to kill a planeswalker? Yeah, Aurelia does that just fine.
Need to help your first strikers force their way through? Yep, Aurelia does that.
What about just finishing off opponents when all of your creatures are killed because it was not your lucky day and you didn't draw one of your four Boros Charms? You guessed it: Aurelia does that.
What if you need to stop your opponent's lethal strike and you know they have a Boros Charm so your removal is worthless? Yeah, Aurelia can even help there! Boros Charm may save all their guys, but Aurelia's Fury still taps them. Plus, there is the outside possibility of some weird situations where you Fury them for one using just three mana. This forces them to use the Boros Charm or forever keep their peace. Now you can respond with the bigger Fury that actually kills creatures.
This card is so versatile that it just nuts. Whether you are killing and tapping their team on their upkeep while preventing them from playing spells or just X-spelling someone out of the game in response to their Sphinx's Revelation (yeah, so there's that...), Aurelia's Fury is freaking out of control. It is expensive and not going to fit as many places as Boros Charm, but it will have a variety of surprising applications that we just haven't thought of yet, as the card is so unlike anything this color pair has ever really had to work with.
Ok, let me leave you with a few Gatecrash decklists to consider, though this is just scratching the surface. The right places to put Aurelia's Fury is far from a solved problem, and Boros Charm is going to go all kinds of places. What do you see as the best R/W/x deck? See you next week!

Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Chevron (NYSE: CVX) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures and attractive valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

- CVX's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.09 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.21, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- CVX, with its decline in revenue, slightly underperformed the industry average of 3.2%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly dropped by 9.8%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- CHEVRON CORP's earnings per share declined by 31.4% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, CHEVRON CORP increased its bottom line by earning $13.44 versus $9.48 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 5.7% in earnings ($12.68 versus $13.44).
- In its most recent trading session, CVX has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. Looking ahead, although the push and pull of the overall market trend could certainly make a critical difference, we do not see any strong reason stemming from the company's fundamentals that would cause a continuation of last year's decline. In fact, the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings.

They always say long distance relationships never work. Being far away from your significant other is very daunting. No matter how hard it may look your relationship is still worth fighting for. It will be difficult but definitely not impossible. You just need to make a commitment and make small adjustments with your loved one. Here is a list of long distance relationship advice that you can follow to maintain a happy relationship.
Make an effort to communicate with each other every day
It is necessary for you to maintain and establish an emotional connection since you are not seeing each other every day. It doesn't have to be in-depth or long talks. What is important is that you made an effort to get in touch with him/her. Let your partner know about your little victories and bloopers of your day. Ask him or her about their opinion on something you plan to purchase. This will make them feel that their thoughts are still important and considered.
Create a schedule and work around it
Do your best to get in touch with each other even if one person is busier than the other. If you are on a tight schedule and need to call at a specific time, let your partner know in advance so that the opportunity to talk is not wasted. Be flexible with your loved one's time.
Learn to trust
Trust is very essential in any kind of relationship. Be faithful, and learn to avoid placing yourself in situations that can tempt you to cheat. Don't be too clingy and let your partner have a little space. By doing this your partner will not feel stressed and it will definitely build trust in your relationship.
Stay connected with the right apps and technology
The last thing you want on a long distance relationship is massive mobile bills. Before your partner goes away think of free apps to keep in contact like Whatsapp, Skype or Viber. There are alot of free Wifi hotspots these days so whoever is away from home no longer has to pay for excess mobile data usage. If you must make an actual phone call there are mobile plans that let you make unlimited calls at a capped rate if both of your mobiles are with the same company. Keep a look out for these deals it will save you alot of money down the track.Credit: Elvis Ripley via Flickr

Don't be cryptic
Your partner is not a mind reader. You could have had several bad things happen to you at work that day and when it comes around to talking on the phone to your partner you may not feel like talking. Make sure to tell them what fully happened and not give them the cold shoulder. It is your job as a couple to make each other feel secure at all times. Try use video chat more than texts or phone calls as you will have a better understanding of what the other person is feeling by their facial expression and body language.
Visit frequently
As often as your budget allows try to visit often. A relationship will not survive with just a phone call or web chat alone. If you have the opportunity to meet each other in person, take it. Make the most of your time together by going on dates, no matter how simple it may be. Make your partner feel special in the limited time that you are together.
Don't forget to support each other even if you are miles apart
Even if you are not with him/her physically, let your loved one know that you support them in whatever problems or troubles they are facing. If they end up dealing problems with on their own all the time they will subsequently not need your help which is never good in any relationship.
In conclusion
Some of these things do not only apply to couples in a long distance relationship but also to those who are also in short-distance relationships. Love, communication, and trust are the foundations of a great relationship. So follow these long distance relationship advice to help you have your happy ever after.
Have you ever been in a long distance relationship? What advice can you give that helped you through this tough time apart? Please comment below.

At the age of nine Camarena moved to the U.S. and settled in Calexico, California. He worked in the fields with his family picking plums and peaches. Camarena yearned to get a proper education and soon it came. He took advantage of this opportunity and became an ethical student. He played football, basketball and helped publish the yearbook. Camarena was voted "Best all Around Senior."ÃÂ He decided to attend college and enter the law enforcement field. Camarena served in the U.S. Marines, and became a Legal Clerk and a Court Recorder. In 1970, Camarena departed from the Marines and worked with the Calexico Fire Department. Camarena became a part of the Calexico Police Department as a Criminal Investigator in 1970, while he attended Imperial Valley College. There he got an AA degree and criminal justice degree.
Camarena was sent to the El Centro, California Police Department Office and became a Narcotics Investigator for the Imperial County.
In 1874, Camarena join the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration). Camarena was a talented Drug Enforcement Special Agent. Camarena and family were transferred to an undercover investigation in Guadalajara, Mexico. In Guadalajara, his mission was to stop the Caro-Quintero Organization. Caro-Quintero, at the age 32, was the main leader of the wealthy organization.
Camarena was about to conclude his case when he was captured during his lunch hour. It was the afternoon of February 7, 1985 when Camarena didn't come home so his wife contacted his close friend, who then reported the kidnapping to the U.S. law enforcement officers. There was a vast amount of law enforcement officers sent to search for Camarena. There were a lot of people worried but no one was able...

The question I asked myself after seeing these was, "who buys them"? Seriously, who would need to buy a big bag of hard candy like this. I've never seen them available in stores or even kids bubble vending machines. Are there hordes of Japanese grandmas out there stocking up on crappy candy for when the their grand-tykes pay them a visit? If my readers have any ideas, I'd be curious to hear them. To me, these are just giant bags of unfortunately flavored tooth decay.

No. 7 Cal Men's Swimming Hosts Washington
Oct. 31, 2007
Fri., Nov. 2 Spieker Aquatics Complex, Berkeley, Calif. 1 p.m.
The No. 7-ranked California men's swimming team (1-0) hosts Washington in a Pac-10 dual meet Friday at 1 p.m. at Spieker Aquatics Complex. The Golden Bears, who this season have a 133-116 dual meet victory over Pacific and scored 1,435.50 points at the Pacific TYR Invitational, welcome a Husky squad coached by former Cal women's swimming assistant coach Whitney Hite. The Bears are coming off an eighth-place finish at the 2007 NCAA Championships and a second-place finish at the 2007 Pac-10 Meet. Cal features eight returning All-Americans, including Dominik Meichtry, the 2007 Pac-10 champion and national runner-up in the 200 freestyle. The Bears also welcome new head coach David Durden, the former top assistant at Auburn who helped guide the Tigers' men and women's teams to six NCAA team championships from 2002-05. Durden was most recently the head men's and women's swimming coach at Maryland from 2005-06.
Noting Washington
Whitney Hite is in his second season directing both the men's and women's swimming program at Washington. A former swimmer at Texas, Hite was an assistant for Teri McKeever's Cal women's program from 2003-05, helping the Bears to three top 10 NCAA finishes. In 2006-07, the Husky men were 2-3 in dual meets (0-1 Pac-10) and placed sixth at the Pac-10 meet with 222 points. Cal has a 6-7 all-time dual meet record against Washington, defeating the Huskies in the last meeting, 129-76, Oct. 31, 1998 at Spieker Aquatics Complex.
Bears Win TYR Pacific Invitational
Cal dominated the TYR Pacific Invitational, held at the Roseville Aquatic Center Oct. 19-20 in Roseville, Calif., winning 14 of the meet's 16 events to finish with 1,435.50 points (791.50 points for Pacific, 361.00 points for UC Davis). The Bears captured the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relays and had three different individuals win races on Friday. Senior Jernej Godec swam the backstroke leg of Cal's victorious 200 medley relay (1:32.80), which also included senior Richard Hunter (breaststroke), senior Dominic Cathey (butterfly) and sophomore Alex Cushing (freestyle). Godec went on to win the 50 free with a time of 20.97. Other Cal winners Friday included Meichtry, who won the 200 free (1:41.44), sophomore Aaron Casey placed first in 1,650 free (16:05.57) and freshman Damir Dugonjic, a native of Ravne na Koroskem, Slovenia, won the 100 breast (57.51). Cal also won the 400 free relay (3:08.20) Friday, paced by senior Mark Eckart (22.73), senior Joe Whittington (21.80), freshman Martti Aljand (22.45) and senior Eric Dunipace (22.58). On Saturday, the Bears' 200 free relay of Whittington (20.87), Eckert (21.09), Hunter (21.13) and Cathey (21.45) placed first (1:24.54). Individually, junior David Russell captured both 100 back (49.18) and 200 back (1:51.42), and also swam the third leg of the Bears' victorious 800 free relay. Other members of Cal's 800 free relay (6:58.24), were Meichtry, senior Louis Vayo and senior Michael Jafari. Miechtry was the winner of 500 free (4:37.44). Other Saturday highlights included senior William Copeland winning the 100 free (45.48), Godec winning the 100 fly (50.39) and sophomore transfer Sean Mahoney winning the 200 breast (2:06.36). Mahoney, a native of Rio Vista, Calif., is a transfer from West Virginia.
Cal's All-American Line-up
Cal's returning All-Americans from last season include Meichtry (free), Eckert (backstroke/Individual medley), Hunter (breaststroke), Copeland (sprint free), Godec (free/fly/back), Whittington (free), Vayo (back/IM/free), and Russell (backstroke).Meichtry placed second at the NCAA meet with a time of 1:33.45 in the 200 free, the second-fastest time in school history behind the eight-time Olympic gold medalist Matt Biondi's time of 1:33.03 set in 1987. He also helped the Bears to a seventh-place finish in the 800-free relay at the NCAA meet, along with fellow senior Vayo. Meichtry was the 2007 Pac-10 champion in the 200 free with a time of 1:33.82. He has the school's second-fastest time in the 500 free (4:15.89), set in 2006, and is a member of the school-record 800 free relay team.The Bears' 200-yard freestyle relay placed sixth in the 2007 NCAA meet and returns three of its members - Copeland, Godec and Whittington. Godec was second in the Pac-10 meet in the 50 free and has the school's third-best all-time mark in the 100 fly (46.32).Russell placed ninth at the NCAA Championships with his time of 1:41.81 in 200-yard backstroke, and was a member of Cal's 200 and 400 medley relays. He was the 2007 Pac-10 champion in the 100 back and has the school's second-best all-time mark in the 200 back (1:41.81) and third-best time in the 100 back (46.70).Eckert was second in the 200 back, third in the 400 IM and fourth in the 200 IM at the Pac-10 meet, and has the school's third-best all-time mark in the 400 IM (3:46.63).Hunter was seventh in the Pac-10 meet in the 100 breast.

He joins Meichtry as a member of the school record-setting 800-free relay. Vayo has the school's fifth-best all-time mark in both the 200 (1:45.82) and 400 IM (3:48.54). Whittington, besides being a member of Cal's sixth-place 200 free relay, was on the Bears' 200 free relay that placed second at the Pac-10 Championships.
Introducing David Durden
Durden was hired to direct Cal's men's swimming program on Aug. 27, replacing Hall of Fame coach Nort Thornton, who retired in July after 33 years at the helm of Golden Bear swimming. Thornton will remain involved in the men's swimming program as an assistant. Durden, 31, spent five seasons at Auburn, including 2005 when he was the assistant head men's coach for the 2005 NCAA champion Tigers. Prior to being the No. 1 assistant and chief recruiting coordinator for the powerhouse Auburn men's team, he was an assistant coach for both the Tigers' men's and women's swim programs. During his tenure, the Tiger men's and women's teams won a total of six NCAA team championships - the men winning in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and the women winning in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The Auburn women finished second at the national meet in 2005.At Auburn, Durden was the primary coach for a number of world-class/postgraduate swimmers who were preparing for the World Championships and the World University Games. He mentored multiple world and NCAA record holders. Durden also served as the head coach for the Panama team at the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2003 Pan American Games. A 1998 graduate of UC Irvine, Durden earned a degree in electrical engineering. He competed on the Anteaters' swim team from 1994-97 and was the 1997 Big West Conference champion in the 200 butterfly.Along with Durden being named head coach of the Bears, Bart Kizierowski will be taking on the role of assistant coach. Kizierowski, a former Cal All-American (1998-2000) and a two-time Olympian for Poland, spent the last three years as a volunteer assistant coach for the Bears.
2006-07 Golden Bear Team Recap
In 2006-07, Thornton's Bears compiled a 5-3 dual-meet record (2-2 in Pac-10). With Cal's eighth-place finish at the 2007 NCAA meet, it was the 28th time in Thornton's 33-year career the Bears were in the top 10 at the national meet. Of Pac-10 schools, only Stanford (second) and Arizona (third) placed higher. Cal collected its 35th individual national champion under Thornton when Patrick O'Neill captured the NCAA title in the 200-yard butterfly with a school-record 1:42.98. The Bears placed second at the 2007 Pac-10 meet, led by Meichtry, Russell and O'Neil. Meichtry captured the 200 free (1:33.82), Russell won the 100 back (46.93) and O'Neil won the 200 fly (1:45.00). The Bears were also conference runners-up in the 200 free, 400 free and 200 medley relays.
Honoring Nort Thornton
Former Cal head coach Nort Thornton retired after 33 years at the helm of the Bears men's swimming program on July 26. Thornton led Cal to a dual-meet record of 231-85 (.731 winning percentage), produced back-to-back NCAA team titles in 1979 and 1980, and produced numerous individual national champions, including O'Neil, who won the 200-yard butterfly crown at the 2007 NCAA Championships. Through the years, his Bears have won 48 individual and relay NCAA championships and 108 Pac-10 individual, relay and diving titles. His 1979-80 and 1980-81 teams also captured Pac-10 team championships.Thornton started his Bears' career with the 1974-75 season. The veteran coach has been named National Coach of the Year twice and has been the Pac-10 Coach of the Year four times, most recently in 1999. A product of San Jose State, Thornton led the Bears to NCAA team titles in 1979 and 1980 and produced a long list of stellar All-Americans. He has an even more impressive collection of Olympians, including world record holder Matt Biondi, Anthony Ervin, who won the gold medal in the 50-meter freestyle at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and Duje Draganja, who took silver in the 50-meter free at the 2004 Athens Olympics. Since Thornton took over the Cal program, 48 Cal athletes have represented several countries in the Olympic Games, winning 29 medals, including 14 gold, 10 silver and five bronze.

Promoting a small business is usually thought of as being expensive, but the technology is now at a level where we can engage millions of people for free. Most people don't know that you can advertise a small business for free, and that is probably a good thing. This article focuses on inexpensive ways to reach millions of customers.
Things You Will Needpen and paper
Step 1
Create a website. A website is one way to advertise your website for free. You can even create the site for free using free web software. This software can be found on sites like Filefront and others. A website is huge to your ability to engage customers and promote your business. You can literally reach millions of people on the internet, and a website can maximize your earnings.
Step 2
Create a blog. Blogs are similar to websites but you instead write blogs related to topics that you previously selected. You can write blogs specifically targeting customers online. You can write blogs related to your business or product.
Step 3
Email marketing. For a small fee, you can reach thousands of people through email marketing. This form of marketing utilizes the ability to share the same email with thousands of people. You can literally reach thousands of people with the click of a mouse. Company's will even send out the marketing emails for you.
Step 4
Always think about your company image. You might not consider this a form of advertisement, but your company image is very important. The smallest mistake can often be magnified and the biggest accomplishments can be overlooked. Try to do everything correctly and not cut corners. Always treat customers with respect and this will echo. Which brings me to my next tip.
Step 5Word of mouth. Word of mouth travels very quickly but you don't need to literally walk up and tell people about your business to spur word of mouth. You can put flyers on frequently visited bulletin boards or inside coffee shops, this will often spur conversation about your business.
Step 6
List in the yellow pages. Many people go online without a clue and lookup the number for local plumbing company's without bias. This means, whoever pops up is who they are going to call. They don't care if it's a name brand company or a small business, yellow pages lists your company in alphabetical order.

1. Really loving a new board game called Seasons. I've played it two weeks in a row at my board gaming club and it's next on my list to go in my collection. The game has some Magic: The Gathering elements, but adds in some beautiful dice and cute animal characters. It's strangely addictive and relatively short, whilst also being very strategic. When we get it I promise you some lovely pictures of all the interesting pieces.
2. Having ideas for writing a short story. I used to write all the time, always making up little stories as I lie in bed failing to get to sleep. Lately I've been making up a new tale in those quiet moments and I'm happy that there are still some stories in me after a long time of not feeling very creative in that direction.
3. Thinking about the concepts behind the justice system. I read a blog post and many articles following on that pointed out that the concept of 'innocent until proven guilty' harms the victim a lot of the time, especially in rape or child abuse cases. Assuming the accused to be innocent, means the victim is often assumed to be lying. That in the court it is the accused who ends up in a position of power when a rape victim is the one who is cross-examined over their traumatic experience. I could go into a lot more detail about many incidents I'm reading about, but I don't feel this is the space for that. Enough to say, I'm thinking about this a lot.

Advocates for the Preeclampsia Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing maternal and infant illness and death due to preeclampsia, a life-threatening disorder of pregnancy related to high blood pressure, will be participating in and raising money for the Foundation's annual The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia™. The annual event, which happens around the country to support innovative research and raise public awareness about the warning signs of preeclampsia, will be taking place at Oak Ridge Park in Clark on Sunday, May 21, at 10 a.m.
The 7th Annual Central/Northern NJ walk day event is once again organized by Springfield residents, Stephanie and Marissa Steiner. The day will include a family-friendly walk, raffle prizes, and complimentary food. Guest speakers include a member of the Board of Directors from the Preeclampsia Foundation, as well as our 2017 Mission Family, Larissa and James Nickson of Lawrence Township, who lost their first baby to preeclampsia and are passionate about raising awareness so that this doesn't happen to other families. They will be sharing their story and leading off the walkers at the event.
The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia, with the tagline "Making Strides, Delivering Hope," makes a clear connection with the mission of the Preeclampsia Foundation – a commitment to better outcomes for those whose lives have been or will be touched by preeclampsia and other hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. That "promise" includes ensuring education and awareness for all pregnant women and funding research to identify a cure for the condition.
"Preeclampsia survivors are bringing wonderful awareness to communities across the country through the Promise Walk," said Preeclampsia Foundation National Events Manager, Sara Gauthier. "We are very excited to continue this momentum in 2017, since we know that greater awareness and knowledge results in healthier birth outcomesfor mom and baby."
For Central/Northern New Jersey, this will be the 7th year they have produced a walk, attracting an unprecedented number of walkers, supporters with the goal of raising $30,000 dollars toward helping women and their infants who suffer from the devastating effects of preeclampsia.
"May is National Preeclampsia Awareness Month, deliberately chosen to coincide with Mother's Day weekend," explained Executive Director Eleni Tsigas. "Almost 300,000 women each year are affected by preeclampsia, with approximately 25 percent of those resulting in serious adverse outcomes to either mother, baby or both."
This year's local sponsors include: New Jersey Perinatal Associates, Applebee's and Saint Barnabas Medical Center/RWJ Barnabas Health, as well as RWJ OBGYN Associates, PM Pediatrics, Turning Point Restaurants, Allstate of Springfield and Summit, Larissa Nickson's Usborne Books and More, Alisa Molbert Realtor/Mancini Realty LBI, Cooperative Counseling Services, and Dr. Iammatteo of Morristown.
For more information, and to register or donate, please visit www.promisewalk.org/cranford. Walk-up registrations will be accepted on the day of the Promise Walk event, but pre-registration is strongly.

Bigger isn't better
01.10.12 - Permalink
For some complex biological structures, bigger isn't always better. Instead what most researchers want to explore is the actions of smaller biological structures over longer periods of time.
Researchers from the University of Utah, University of California at San Diego, Rutgers University, Stony Brook University, and the University of Florida have teamed up to get a closerand longer lookat those smaller proteins through the National Science Foundation's Petascale Computing Resource Allocations (PRAC) program. The PRAC program support science teams as they work with NCSA to run on Blue Waters and other petascale systems.
Molecular dynamics research captures the interactions of individual atoms in complex biological structures like proteins, DNA, and RNA. Looking at smaller systems of atoms isn't necessarily easier than looking at ever-larger systems, explain the researchers, because molecular dynamics is very difficult to parallelize as you can't parallelize for time.
A researcher wrings performance out of today's supercomputers by breaking a problem up into many small pieces and having those pieces run simultaneously on the computer's many processors. Because the atoms in the simulation are influenced by what has happened at previous points in the simulation, you can't have the future proteins or RNA being simulated at the same time as their earlier selves. You have to take it one timestep at a time.
So the team is looking at a process where you have lots of simulations, but the processors share moderate amounts of information that are really crucial to solving the overall problem. Using this intermediary approach, the team runs multiple copies of the same system under different conditions, simulating the system at a variety of high temperatures, pH levels, or even physics models not typically found in nature, for example. These copies swap data every so many timesteps within the calculation.
People have been using this methodcalled replica exchangefor about a quarter of a century. However, with recent access to large-scale HPC resources through the TeraGrid and XSEDE, the use of these methods has exploded. In fact, the team and others have seen a series of successes by using it. On Blue Waters and other systems of its size, the team wants to begin enabling multidimensional replica and information exchange between ensembles of independent molecular dynamics simulations, delving into the effects of changes to more than one factor that influences the system's behavior. They've learned that only looking at one factor isn't enough.
As part of the PRAC program the team is currently updating the simulation code frequently used to do that work. Called AMBER, more than 1,000 sites around the world take advantage of the code.
