New Fleet Of Ambulances For Kent
5 July 2017, 12:47
The ambulance service in Kent will soon be boasting a fleet of brand new ambulances.
South East Coast Ambulance Service says 42 are on order and will eventually replace the ageing ones in the fleet in Kent, as well as Sussex and Surrey at the moment.
The vehicles follow the design of the Trust's other ambulances being a box body on a Mercedes Sprinter chassis.
The purchase is a beneficial investment to the Trust as it is estimated that on average for every year older an ambulance gets it costs the Trust an additional eight pence per mile.
SECAmb's fleet covers approximately 15 million miles each year so the new vehicles will deliver significant savings.
The ambulances will be fitted with full telematics and speed limiters, which operate when the vehicles are not responding on blue lights and sirens.
SECAmb Head of Fleet and Logistics, John Griffiths said: "I'm delighted we've been able to place this order which will bring obvious benefits to the Trust and of course patients. The purchase follows a review of our fleet and will see our oldest vehicles, which have been in operation since our legacy Trust days, replaced with brand new ambulances.
"I know the new vehicles will be very much welcomed by staff across our region and they also represent a good investment for the Trust. Our fleet department and mechanics do a fantastic job to keep our vehicles on the road but it is vital that these vehicles are replaced as they are operating beyond their economical lifespan."

WASHINGTON, DC -- The George Washington University men's lacrosse team elected three captains for the 2016 season. Senior midfielder Tim Wetzel was elected for a second straight season, and is joined by senior defensemen Alex Santangelo and Jack Ferrell.
Wetzel (Carlisle, PA/ Cumberland Valley) has been a three-year starter for the Colonials and is expected to be a major contributor in 2016. He finished the 2015 season as the team's second leading scorer with 19 goals and 12 assists, while also scooping up 37 groundballs in 13 contests. Wetzel is studying mechanical engineering.
"Tim is your classic lead-by-example type of guy," says head coach J.D. Englehart. "He's a reliable, steady presence on the offense and has a knack for making the people around him better. Better yet, he's a great kid and always puts the program first."
Santangelo (Sudbury, MA/ St. Mark's) enters the 2016 season with 20 career games under his belf, but spent last season studying abroad in Barcelona, Spain. He was a starting defensemen as both a freshman and sophomore, and is expected to be the vocal leader of the defensive unit as a senior. Santangelo is studying political science, with minor courses of study in psychology and history.
"Alex's presence, both on the field and off, was sorely missed last season," Englehart says. "We're excited to have him back for us, and have high hopes that he'll step right back into the starting role he occupied in his first two seasons. In fact, he looked fantastic in scrimmage play this fall."2
Rounding out the trio, Ferrell (Avon, CT/ Northwest Catholic) has been a three-year starter on the defensive unit and has played in all 36 MCLA contests for the Colonials, racking up 48 career groundballs and 1 assist. Ferrell is studying electrical engineering.
Englehart adds, "Jack is Mr. Dependable. He has been the glue of the defense and someone I completely trust to be in the right place at the right time, nearly 100% of the time. He's fundamentally sound, coachable, and one of the hardest working players on the field. I've been fortunate to have worked with Jack going on four years, first as his position coach, and now as his head coach."
"All in all, these three young men have worked really hard to build a reputable program here at GW, and they are going to continue to do that this season and well into the future. I'm very excited for them and their teammates who elected them," Englehart said of the three captains.
The Colonials kick off their 2016 season with an SELC divisional game at perennially ranked Liberty University. The game is slated for 2pm on Saturday, February 27th in Lynchburg, VA.

Rock from UK
at den Atelier
promoter A-Promotions
Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line up with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, that produced acclaimed albums such as Selling England by the Pound. With Genesis, Steve's guitar playing produced some of the most memorable moments, from the sensitivity of his acoustic sound on Horizons and Blood on the Rooftops to the dramatic rock guitar solos of Firth of Fifth and Fountain of Salmacis. Brian May of Queen has credited Steve Hackett as an early influence. Still today, Steve Hackett's live electric gigs take his fans on an extraordinary journey drawn from a rich musical heritage. Perennial Genesis favourites such as the mighty Firth Of Fifth or Carpet Crawlers sit alongside solo classics and more recent material, such as the new album Wolflight featuring the single Love Song to a Vampire. Steve is an exhilarating artist still at the very top of his game. This show at the A is going to be a unique highlight to progressive rock fans.
Musicians playing with Steve for the Autumn tour will be Roger King, keyboards; Gary O'Toole, drums & percussion; Rob Townsend, saxes and flutes, Roine Stolt, bass & guitars; Nad Sylvan, vocals

Yesterday evening in "A Conversation with the Artist." Botero conversed with Robert Hass, at the Chevron Auditorium in the International House at UC Berkeley.
So I don't have to cover the basics, the premises of why this standing room only experience was such a draw, so I don't have to expand on its massive popularity and why 1000's of people couldn't even get inside to see the conversation, here are a few links:
In the San Jose Mercury News: http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/local/states/california/northern_california/16574216.htm
In the Berkeley Daily Planet: http://www.berkeleydaily.org/text/article.cfm?issue=01-26-07&storyID=26178
In the SF Chronicle: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2007/01/22/EDGC7N728U1.DTL
Botero's conversation with Hass has its lowlights. At the end of the evening the second "question from the audience" began as an acid induced rant by a character cut from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for being a loose cannon, and the question went down hill from there. But tolerance of the stuck-in-68 16 year old or 48 year old as the case may have it with their bumper-sticker-on-the forehead craziness was required.
Botero's and Hass' conversation was too meaningful and too important for me to get bogged down in the distractions of anti-intellectual, anti-rational leftist-by-color-my-clothing folk.
Botero calls art an "accusation." A claim one would supsect carried more humor than fire if one were to look at only his "popular" work: the rotund nearly comic figures he has found acclaim for. But when you hear him talk about how enraged he was by the reports and pictures of Abu Ghraib, a new meaning emerges.
He speaks of the United States as the one place on earth where torture would not only be not expected but he felt it is a place where it would be impossible to manifest. So when he, and he feels, the world saw th worlds model for compassion and human rights adopting the behavior of its antagonists he felt, as Hass put it, and I'm paraphrasing, as if the last light on the planet had gone out.

When I walked out my door this morning it struck me that the leaves on the trees in Fort Tryon Park are suddenly changing. Against the dim gray sky and slick black rocks there are brilliant yellows and reds. Perhaps it's been happening subtly for a time now, but today the transformation is arresting. It got me thinking that one, I wished I could just walk among the trees and not be going to work, and two, that we can look to a natural phenomenon such as this for inspiration to undertake necessary changes in our own lives. On that note, here are some of the better quotes I culled this morning on personal growth. Happy autumn!
"We are either progressing or retrograding all the while. There is no such thing as remaining stationary in this life."
— James Freeman Clarke
"The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become."
— W.E.B. Du Bois
"To change one's life, start immediately, do it flamboyantly, no exceptions."
— William James
"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death."
— Anais Nin

"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."
—Albert Camus
In New York we've almost passed the time of brilliantly shining leaves, yet when I found this quote yesterday it struck me as perfect for this moment. As nature hunkers down to rejuvenate itself during the winter, it's tempting to let your spirit go into hibernation, as well. But we are capable of creating a new spring for ourselves—in our lives and our souls—whenever we choose to try. I choose now.

I finally made this recipe from the NY Times I've been drooling over:
Roasted Sweet Potato Salad With Black Beans and Chili Dressing.
And oh lord, is it amazing! I think my batch could use more salt, pepper, and jalapeño, so adjust accordingly. You really can't go wrong with sweet potatoes, which are delicious cooked any of a thousand ways. But this recipe is a great harmony of sweet and spicy. Just look at this photo I took!
Yowza goodness! I believe I'll be eating only orange foods all autumn.

I've always thought October was an enchanting month. Growing up in California I could pretend it was a real autumn and that some boy would carry my books down a sidewalk covered in crinkly red-orange leaves, like on the after-school specials. Bit of a problem, though, because in my hometown there were no sidewalks, no one walked anywhere, and the only items underfoot were acorns and dry dust.
Five years after moving to the East Coast, I am still enamored of these storybook autumns. Bright mums on stoops! A rainbow of leaves in Central Park! Crisp mornings where you're happy to wrap up in a soft scarf! Pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks! (Okay, scratch that last one.)
So let's all rejoice in this transitional month, break out last year's Halloween decorations (you didn't throw them away did you, my good little recycling blog readers? you know that stuff's all plastic), and read some John Keats: To Autumn. (But don't go see the movie about him. It looks entirely too "R"omantic.)
Also, let's appreciate this month's birthstone, the opal. (And don't make me say "rocktober." Oh dangit, I said it. I apologize.)
"A variety of Opal called Hyalite, which glows bright green under short wave UV…There also appears to be some Calcite, which glows bright red."

Cune Imperial Gran Reserva Cvne 2004
Winemaker's Notes:
"The 2004 Imperial Gran Reserva is 85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, and 5% Mazuelo aged in new French and American oak for 24 months. Deep crimson-colored, it gives up aromas of toast, spice box, espresso, blackberry, and plum. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate it displays a plush texture, ripe flavors, excellent volume and concentration, and a relatively forward personality...92+" WA 07/10 "Firm and a bit austere, this red shows depth and drive, with chewy tannins supporting plum, tobacco, licorice and mineral flavors. The structure is solid but the wine remains fresh. Maturing now, this has a long life ahead...95" WS 09/13 "After initial aromas of char, gritty leather, asphalt and tar fade, you get mature, herbal cherry and plum scents. This gran reserva is delivering light, racy, tangy flavors of raspberry and strawberry along with vanilla. On the finish, this is subtle, elegant and pure...92" WE 11/13

Jagoinvestor and Manish..continued
Manish talking to Puneet:
Here is where I disagree to some extent , If you disagree that Tradional Insurance can beat Term + Balanced Funds in long run , then you are disagreeing the fact that Equity investments risk goes down in long run , Take two case
Case 1 : A buys Traditional Insurance
Case 2 : A buys Term Plan + balanced funds (not pure equity)
Do you think Case 1 can beat Case 2 ? Why ?
Tell me a case , when traditional insurance is better in terms of safety and returns MF + Term combo ? Do not tell me pure safety , if only safety is the concern , not taking any risk at all with your money is the biggest risk I can think of .
All over the India people like PV subramanyam , Monika Halan and other top notch financial planning enthusiast have said that traditional plans do not give even inflation adjusted postive return , if you are arguing that they do not make sense to you , you already defeat me because I trust them .
Subramanyam's comments: Thanks these are nice things to hear!
'Personally I am an equities person (I started investing at my age of 18) and have handled the family portfolio maybe even at 17. I am an incorrigible equity enthusiast. My stand costs my clients money. My clients are banks, life insurance companies, mutual funds and brokerage houses for whom I do training.
Traditional plans unfortunately do not disclose how they are managed and my view on an employee – who is not responsible for the brand image – is a big issue. Most fund managers have a right to screw up and then move on. So whether it is a fund business or any other business an employee's fluctuating loyalty will ensure that traditional plans (and ULIPs) will do badly over long periods of time. I am repeating this – we have 20 competent fund managers and more than 500 schemes running.
Traditional plans have so far been run (whose results are visible) by LIC only and it is evident from the results that the traditional plans have underperformed PPF, but till HDFC standard life came out with a term plan, LIC did not have a term plan. When I say 'has not happened', I mean 'has not happened'. Some people can assume that 'has not happened' means 'Will not happen' – I am responsible to my clients. The readers of my blog should take anything available in the public domain with a pinch of salt including this post.

Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms
Genetic Screening
Genetic screening is the process of testing a population for a genetic disease in order to identify a subgroup of people that either have the disease or the potential to pass it on to their offspring.
Narration Transcription
Genetic screening is really a term that's used to help us identify a smaller group of people from a large population. And this smaller group of people really actually might have a higher risk of either having a disease, developing that disease, or potentially having children who may have that disease as well. So I want to differentiate genetic screening from the term "genetic testing". Genetic testing is focused on an individual; genetic screening is really focused on a whole population of people, trying to identify those specifically who are [at] increased risk to develop it or to have children with a condition in question or the condition being screened for.
Doctor Profile
Name: Donald W. Hadley, M.S., C.G.C.
Occupation: Associate Investigator, Social and Behavioral Research Branch, Public Health Genomics Section; Associate Director, Office of Clinical Liaison, Office of the Clinical Director
Biography: Mr. Hadley is a genetic counselor and a clinical researcher. As a genetic counselor, he provides education and counseling for people participating in NIH clinical protocols who have or at risk for inherited diseases. As a researcher, he evaluates methods for educating and counseling families with genetic conditions. His research is performed within the Public Health Genomics Section. Mr. Hadley strives to understand the psychological and behavioral outcomes of the counseling and testing process. His clinical role gives him insight into concerns of families considering genetic testing and the issues they deal with following their decisions.

Few know Birmingham School of Architecture was the first to coin the phrase 'Live Project' in the 1950s as a means to establish new pedagogic methods in response to rebuilding post-war Britain. Between April 1956 and October 1965, 5th year students designed many projects that encompassed nearly every aspect of architectural design including a pathology laboratory, housing estates of 27 houses and five garages, club-houses, nurses home, theatres, health centres and a technical college. A commendable effort and one that was very much in tune with the times where the architect was the agent of change, yet not necessarily in control of project briefs that were often issued as directives from external clients and rarely led by student cohorts to conduct proof of concept tests.
Fast forward 50 years and the rise in ethical and social design combined with access to the latest digital fabrication technologies has seen a step change in the transformative powers of architects laying claim to new emerging practice in which the immediacy of building offered by digital tools is fundamental to securing the future role of the architect. As highlighted by Professor Bob Sheil (2012), we are at an 'event horizon' in which new digital tools extend creative processes offering greater collaboration and more reflection, fine tuning and testing before delivery of the best possible design.
'Live Projects' establish both a technical question and a social answer that for Samuel Mockbee (2002) of Rural Studio is when 'I tell my students it's got to be warm, dry and noble' . Only when we have demonstrated that both exist in a proof of concept can we then start using the word pop-up in the context of citywide initiatives in which whole neighbourhoods could be built and established at speeds unimagined before with new uses to rehabilitate landscapes and cities emerging from conflict, environmental disaster and economic decay.
Communities need designers more than ever and latest tranche of Live Projects, from The Royal College of Art, sit in the emerging architecture methodologies for evidencing ways of valuing architecture: Health and Ageing; Neighbourhood Cohesion; as well as Identity, Belonging and Heritage . Today's designers seek to investigate why and how the place of shelter [the home] has become a place that increasingly isolates the inhabitant from shared activity within the immediate and wider community. We have observed a condition within post-war European housing estates whereby the rigid imposition of defined spaces for defined activity has reduced, rather than enhanced the opportunity for community that develops through shared and visible activity. A familiar housing legacy in what was once a 'gift' for one generation has become a 'given' for another, further exasperated by lack of opportunities to evolve and mirror latest social and economic topics whereby home owners now hold equity and have a stake, though not necessarily a voice, in long term sustainable community visions.
An increase in isolation from communal activity creates a condition whereby living becomes less affordable; products have to be made by others and consumed in an environment that requires travel, performance and creativity becomes the preserve of those with learned skills and occurs within institutions that are the preserve of cultural, social and economic elites.
As the isolation [physical, economic, social, educational, experiential, environmental, cultural, spiritual etc.] increases, affordability decreases and the experience of living becomes trapped within the mundane. Affordability is now a catalyst for design, for architect Jean-Phillippe Vassal (2010) 'what is interesting about cost-effectiveness (maybe this wasn't so true ten, fifteen years ago) is that it creates the means to make extraordinary things happen. Among others it enables this magician to make something very simple, very natural and obvious, simply, naturally and with a kind of obviousness'
Similarly, the elements of architecture whose modern origins lie in Le Corbusier's 'Dom-ino House' (1914-15), now in it's 100th year, are ripe for reinvention, coming under the critical gaze of Rem Koolhaas (2014) , Director of the 14th International Architecture Exhibition Venice, 'Under near-microscopic attention, the apparently mundane elements of architecture are revealed as unstable compounds of cultural preferences, forgotten symbolism, technological advances, mutations spawned by intensifying global exchange, climatic considerations, fluctuating thresholds of comfort, mythical desires, political calculations, regulatory requirements, neoliberal economics, new digital regimes, and, somewhere in the mix, the ideas of the architect'. A rallying cry to all architects to seize the opportunities that exist, find ways to use technology, rehabilitate society and extend architect authorship, transform the value of materials and socialise technical competence. A parallel already founded in other design disciplines such as the Maker Library Network (2014) , in which designers studios become communal workshops that for Sennett (2013) , 'In the ancient world in both China and Greece, the workshop appeared as the most important institution anchoring civic life,'.
Similarly we recall Live Projects founded the establishment of the Government School of Design, fuelled by need to improve the education of designers, which, it was assumed, would in turn improve the output of British industry before being given Royal Charter in 1896 and becoming the Royal College of Art. Norman Potter (1969) teaching in its Department of Interior Design wrote 'What is a designer: Education and Practice', saying,' Every school should have its own design office in which teaching staff are kept creatively active for a part of their (paid) teaching time, and in which students can work – in effect – as an apprentice, during a part of their design course. This is a very fast and practical way of learning.'
For Potter, design theory and practice were social, yet the word community was in its infancy, and rarely used before 1940. According to Stefan Muthesius (1993) , in Tower Block, its wide appeal arose out of the welfare state housing boom of the 1950s. 'What seemed certain was a close relationship between 'community' and high density.' Pop-up projects share these social qualities where production itself has been socialized blending last vestiges of utopian welfare state with manufactured, affordable aesthetic, what Reyner Banham (1955) in 'Industrial Design and Popular Art' referred to as, 'design-as-popular-symbolism is in the pattern of the market as the crystallization of popular dreams and desire.'
Now Maker Architects, such as 'We Made That', 'The Decorators', 'Assemble' reflect this returning to community design as well as a desire to continue a way of working established whilst studying furthering proof of concept research, that for Carmody Groarke, recent RCA Design Tutors, find new ways of culturally valuing architecture: 'Whether temporary invention or permanent building, our work is concerned with how architecture can record cultural value in the meaning of its making, facilitate engagement and provoke an active discourse about how (and for what reasons) our built environment is made.'

Good afternoon, Y'all. I hope and pray this afternoon finds you snuggled up somewhere all cozy and comfy. It is now and has been pretty chilly in "these here parts". At 12:55 pm it is a whopping 44 degrees out side. Now, I do realize that in places, that is a heat wave. But, in the south, there's a lot of complainin' goin' on when the temp drops below 65 degree. gggg In all reality, there's no pleasin' most of us any way, so it doesn't matter what the temp, we will still be complainin'. Do I here an "Amen" from anyone?
An update: It is now 3:07 pm, 38 degrees and "snowin' to beat sixty"! That's right, y'all, you heard me, "it's snowin' in the south"! If you don't like it, just wait a few minutes, there'll be a heat wave comin" down the road. gggg
Ok, enough about the weather. gggg I have been busy as a little bee over the last few days. Working on Christmas Cards! I absolutely love inky, gluey, glittery hands! It means I have been doin' what I enjoy. I have gotten several of my Christmas Cards made. And I must tell you, I am really happy about that. In the process of making the nice cards with the boxes, I also made a few other cards with scraps that I may have tossed had I not had my thinking cap on. So, I will show those to you first.
Then I glittered up my little reindeer cut out and popped him on there. These two are really more like little pictures than they are cards, because on the back side there is an easel. A flat strip about an inch wide attached to the back of the card with wings protruding from each side is what allows it to stand up perfectly.
These next pics are all of the cards, with easels and boxes. They are very time consuming. But, it helped me to take a few weeks to work on all the pieces parts. I have two of the plastic shoe-boxes from the Dollar Tree that I have all the components in. That make putting a card together go pretty quickly.
Well, there you have it y'all. This is what I have been up too for a little while. I still have a few more to go. But, they will go pretty quickly, since I have all the pieces parts ready to go.
If I don't get back on here before Thanksgiving, I pray that each and every one of you have a Happy Thanksgiving and will take the time to thank God for all He has given you. For those of you that are not in the U.S. and celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday, I do pray that you, too, will take the time to thank God for something in your life. We all have so much to be thankful for every day. I am thankful for Jesus Christ and all that He has done for me. We can never thank Him enough. For some inspirational reading, read Psalm 100. It is just five verses long. But, oooohhh the message in those five verses. Ok, now get to reading, there will be a test later. gggg Happy Thanksgiving, Yall!!!
My favorite quote for Thanksgiving, "Gobble till you Wobble, Y'all"!!!!! hahaha
hugs and blessings, y'all, Patty

MISSOURI CITY, Texas (KTRK) --A pepper spray scare had one Fort Bend County school on high alert Wednesday morning.
At about 11:15 a.m., the chemical was set off in a classroom at Quail Valley Middle School, then spread to the rest of the campus, making some students and staff feel ill.
SkyEye13 captured the line of kids from up above. They were ushered outside while administrators tried to get to the bottom of the pepper spray.
It was not immediately known if the spray accidentally went off or if a student intentionally set it off, but if it was a prank, we're told proper disciplinary action will follow. Some parents weren't taking any chances and took their kids home early for the day.
"I was in the cafeteria and they told us to evacuate. I wasn't sure what was going on," student Adam Wade explained.
Parents were notified about the incident via email and voice text.
"With all the shootings and things that's been going on, it's scary. It's very, very scary, so I immediately left school. I told my job 'I'm not coming in today, I have to go get my child from school," parent Kimberly Murphy said.
Fort Bend ISD says two students were transported to the hospital out of precaution, but that everyone was allowed to go back inside after firefighters gave the all-clear.
Fort Bend County released a statement about the incident:
"At approximately 11:15 a.m., a student sprayed pepper spray in one of our classrooms, which moved quickly throughout our entire building. Several students and staff members reported feeling ill due to the smell and we quickly evacuated our campus. Students and staff that began feeling ill are being assessed by EMS personnel, and we are thankful that the Missouri City Police Department and EMS responded so quickly. The Fort Bend ISD Police Department has also been notified.
We will update you when there is more information and when we resume our school day, but I want to assure you that we are taking all necessary steps to keep our students safe, and we are contacting the parents of those affected.
I am proud of the way our students handled the situation, which is similar to our regular safety drills. Thank you for your continued cooperation, and should you have any questions, please call 281-634-3600."

Livin' la Vida Loca hitmaker Ricky Martin shared a sweet selfie with his 8-year-old twin sons Matteo and Valentino via Instagram Sunday.
"What a perfect way to wake up!!!! So much #pride ! Hab, vi saknar dig.
Happy Pride everyone!!! #Pride2017 #gaypride #gaylove #gaylatino #loveislove," the proud papa, 45, captioned the image.
The father-of-two recently opened up expanding his family with fiancé Jwan Yosef.
"I want a big family. Daddy's little girl has to come," the singer-actor said.
He added: "It's funny because the way we do babies, I get to choose the sex. So definitely girls are coming."
The She Bangs singer went on to reveal that his husband-to-be also plans on having his own kids.
"I'm talking about my babies. And then he is going to have more babies as well. Genetically, connection," he said of Yosef's family plans.
Does he want twins again?
"Listen — if still we have the energy, let's do it!" Martin said. "I don't have a problem. If there's two, there's two."
Ricky welcomed his sons via gestational carrier as a single father in August, 2008.
"Adoption was one option, but it's complicated and can take a long time," Martin said at the time of the twins' birth. "Surrogacy was an intriguing and faster option. I thought, 'I'm going to jump into this with no fear.'"

Good Friday to one and all. Our day is starting out with history making cold temperatures across the bluegrass state. Readings this morning will likely range from – 5 to -30 and that will give us one of the coldest mornings on record for Kentucky.
This comes on the cusp of a recent snowstorm that produced some of the heaviest one day snowfalls we've ever had. Our history making week continues as we track a developing winter storm into our region late tonight into the weekend.
This is a storm system that is likely to bring snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain our way. It's going to be tough to figure out which areas get hit with what kind of precipitation and how much.
A WINTER STORM WATCH is out for most of Kentucky…
That will likely be updated to include additional counties and to switch it to a warning for some.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain is likely for our region. Figuring out who gets what of each will be the difficult part. Here's a preliminary look…
Again, that's the early call and a lot can change. This system is loaded with moisture and will put down a TON of precipitation. I will have another update later today.
In the short term, track what we have out there early today:
Make it a great day and take care.

"Orthus Health coaching is an integral part of my success. My coach gives me practical guidance and helps me not to feel guilty if I gain weight. She understands the cravings, and the lack of motivation. Orthus Health's First5 weight loss program is an additional benefit of the Balls Foods' company wellness plan. I was informed I needed to do the program because my BMI put me in a high-risk category. Now I am off all medications, have lost weight, and continue with coaching to help maintain my success.
"I participated in 4 Orthus Health coaching programs - weight loss, prediabetes, prehypertension, and quit tobacco and did a medical appeal. I met my weight and BP goals for my incentive. I am so proud to say I lost 9.2 pounds since starting First 5, reduced BP from 156/92 to 136/70 and down by 18 cigarettes. Following my 6-session programs, I am continuing with extended health coaching to get the ongoing support I need."
I started with health coaching 3 years ago to stop smoking. Then last year, while on the First 5 weight loss program, I spoke with Dawn every Tuesday. Once I went back to work, I then spoke with my coach every other week, and now we talk monthly. I'm still making progress on the continued coaching program. Not only has it helped with my weight loss, but coaching has really helped me deal more effectively with family stressors.

Autumn 1996 (4.3)
Names - Part 4
- History in a Nutshell
20th Century Personal Naming Practices in Azerbaijan
by Jala Garibova and Betty Blair
Go back to Part 1 or Part 2 or Part 3
Before the Soviets Came
Pre-Revolutionary Names (Before 1921)
A study of names in Azerbaijan between the 1890s-1920s (prior to the imposition of the Soviet government) indicates that religious personal names were very well established in Azerbaijan. Shah Ismayil of the Safavid Dynasty (16th century) had established Shiism in the region where Azerbaijanis lived. (Shia is distinguished from the majority Sunni branch of Islam, primarily through the lines of descendance and authority rather than through doctrinal differences. In Shiism, political power was directed from Prophet Mohammed to Ali, his son-in-law, who was known as the fourth caliph). Obviously, names such as Ali and other Shiite Imams (religious leaders) became incorporated with names of other Imams, to account for combinations such as Alireza and Alihusein. Sometimes names contained the element "-gulu" (servant), as in Rezagulu (servant of Reza) and Aligulu (servant of Ali).

In fact, the custom of giving religious names was so strong that, on occasion, people would randomly select a word from the Koran, and if they liked its sound, might choose it as a name, without even knowing its meaning. For example, the Arabic word "Tukazzibani" is a phrase used in one of the "suras" which means "you are skeptical, doubting that something is true." One female child was given a shortened version of this name, Tukazban, possibly because the element "ban" sounded so familiar to the middle name of the well-known Azerbaijani woman poet of the 19th century, Khurshid Banu Natavan.
However, a careful analysis of names indicates that the influence of Islam was beginning to weaken somewhat during the first decades of this century. In the choice of many personal names, no reference was made to religion at all, especially among female names.
Another phenomenon during the Pre-Revolutionary period was the use of double personal names. For females, many personal names conveyed the idea of "lady," such as Khanum, Beyim, Banu, and Khatun, or the word for "girl" or "daughter"-Guiz. Among 140 female names in birth records from 1880-1919 in one region of Baku, 62 ended with the element Khanum.
Double names were also formed with the words indicating relative relationships, such as ata-father, ana-mother, baji-sister, ami-uncle (father's brother), baba-grandfather, nana-grandmother, bala-baby or child, and bibi-aunt (father's sister).
These appeared in combinations, such as Nanaguiz (grandmother's girl), Anabaji (mother's sister), Atabala (father's baby), Bibikhanim (aunt's lady), Amikishi (uncle's man), etc.
Curiously, the words khala-aunt (mother's sister) and dayi-uncle (mother's brother) were not found in this system of double naming, indicating that a child was considered to belong more to the father's family than to the mother's.
A few names during this period provide evidence that the birth of a girl was less desirable than that of a boy. Such attitudes were obvious with female names such as Basti, Tamam, Yetar and Kifayat-words which all mean "enough." Guizyetar, Guizbas and Guiztamam mean "girl-enough." And the name Guizgayit even expresses the wish, "girl, go back." These names seem to have been given in families where parents were looking forward to having a son, but ended up with a daughter.
Giving birth to a boy after having waited for a long time produced a new pattern of male names containing the component verdi-meaning "given," as in Allahverdi, Haqverdi and Tanriverdi, all meaning "God-given." Examples exist for Imamverdi (Imam-given), and even Shahverdi (King-given).
However, other secular patterns were beginning to emerge as well. Persian secular names were finding their way into the repertoire of Azerbaijani names; Khavar, a female name meaning "East," and Rukhsara, another female name meaning "beautiful face," are but two examples.
Arabic words also provided a rich reservoir of names. Curiously, many of the Azerbaijani names of Arabic origin do not seem to have been part of the naming tradition in the Arabic language itself. Possibly name givers who experimented with Arabic were trying to achieve freshness and mysteriousness. A beautiful-sounding name was considered valuable in creating a stronger effect when its meaning was finally revealed. Therefore, people attempted to use Arabic words whose meaning was not obvious to most. Many of these names originated in literature. For example: Majid (magnificent), Anvar (feeling of lightness), Gudrat (power), Rugiyya (slim, tender), and Durra (bead).
So, in general, in can be said that Pre-Revolutionary names were strongly influenced by Islam although there was a gradual tendency during the early decades of this century to move away from religious names. Perhaps, the international influence brought about by the Oil Boom influenced such a trend.
Future Trends
Naming Practices Since Independence (1991)
In 1991 with the collapse of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan gained its independence. The ratification of the new Constitution in 1995 once again reinstated the Azerbaijani language as the single official state language.
Many Russian-speaking families are beginning to entertain serious thought about sending their children to Azerbaijani schools-a consideration they would never have made before.
Though it may be too early to clearly document the trend, evidence seems to indicate that names are being chosen that sound more Azerbaijani.
Narmina has reverted to Narmin again, dropping the Russian-sounding final "-a" syllable. Among 200 birth certificates studied between 1990-1996, there were five Narmin's but only one Narmina, which is the opposite pattern found in the archival records of 1967-1990 among 180 female names. At that time six Narmina's and one Narmin were listed.
Some of the most popular female names during these years have included Gyunel (kinsmen's sun), Aysel (meaning flooded by moonlight-a newly created name possibly chosen because of the root "ay" which is very popular), Aydan (belonging to the moon-considered to be a positive characteristic for a female), Laman (glittering), Nazrin (Persian, meaning white mountain wildflower), Narmin (slender), and Fidan (sapling; a young tree).
Popular male names include: Tural (long-living), Aykhan (khan of the moon), Eshgin (love), Fikrin (thought), and Ilkin (first, implying firstborn).
The trend towards russification seems to have weakened even in Russian-speaking families. Instead, there has been a tendency towards Turkish names and, even more recently, an emphasis on the Turkic origin of Azerbaijanis. Turkey was the first country to establish international relations with Azerbaijan after independence. During the Soviet period almost all relations with Turkey had been deliberately cut off. Immediately after independence, there was a sudden surge towards embracing Turkey (though it is not as strong today as earlier). The word Turan (all the countries where Turkic people live) has been used as a name. The Turkish names Semra, Selma, and Aydan have become very popular.
In the process of Azerbaijanis rediscovering their own roots, there seems to have been a tendency these past six years to return to some older names that were clearly Azerbaijani. Once again many of these names - Leyla, Murad, Rustam, for example - are found in classic literature as in Fuzuli's Leyli and Majnun. Names like Tural and Seljan have come straight from "Dede Gorgud," an epic probably known many generations before it was penned in the 14th century.
The Question of Surnames
Again when Azerbaijan first gained its independence, there was a rush among many people to shed the Russian suffixes "-ov" and "-ova" and "-yev" and "-yeva" from their last names. But the process proved cumbersome, and many gave up, especially when they were told that once the new identification cards were distributed, people would have a chance to choose the ending they wanted for their last names. In other words, they could opt to retain the Russian endings or to take on a variant Azerbaijani ending, "-li" or "-lu" or "-zade," both of which mean "born of."
Of course, these days, more pressing needs distract the average person from worrying much about changing his or her surname. Economic pressures tend to make people postpone dealing with such problems. And so once again, the surname stays more or less fossilized while the personal name becomes more of an accurate barometer of the nuances of political and social change.
Time will tell which direction Azerbaijanis will go. It's likely that a wide range of names will be accepted in the community. With the presence of foreigners and foreign companies in Azerbaijan, it's also likely that foreign names or Azerbaijani names based on the phonological structure of foreign names, especially English or English-sounding names, will also become incorporated into the vast treasury of names being chosen by Azerbaijani parents. It's all part of the game of trying to anticipate the future for their children and trying to provide their children, through the choice of names, with the best possible equipment for dealing with it.

I'm driven by a love for letters, types, expressions and everything visual. I was born and raised in Romania, in the post-communist industrial city of Ploiesti. I studied International Communication & Media at Utrecht University of Applied Sciences in Utrecht, Netherlands. In 2015 I did a minor (exchange) in Marketing Management at Business Academy Southwest in Esbjerg, Denmark. I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Communication Systems.
My journey with visual started in my early teens. When I was 12 years old I was experimenting with websites and learning HTML; I learned the alphabet from a computer keyboard. At around age 14 I started doing graffiti as a hobby together with a friend. That's where my passion for lettering and calligraphy comes from. Years later, in university, I discovered the Adobe Suite: Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, softwares which expanded my creative horizon. Nowadays I'm aspiring to a successful freelance brand consultant and graphic designer. My favorite field is branding and logo design, but I'm also into creating print materials, advertisements and photography.
I have experience with social media, marketing, journalism, copyrighting, video-editing and filming as well.

They note that the goal of such rhinoplasties (nose jobs), for example, is not to conform to a particular standard of beauty, but to reveal a more beautiful version of the patient.
Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) February 15, 2016
According to an article published February 5th on Cosmopolitan, "ethnic plastic surgery," which some plastic surgeons use to describe any cosmetic surgery in which patients wish to improve their appearance while preserving particular ethnic traits, is on the rise. According to Los Angeles medical center Beverly Hills Physicians (BHP), this trend underlines the growing acceptance and enthusiasm for cosmetic procedures among women and men of all ethnic groups who don't see a conflict between their interest in improving their appearance and celebrating their ancestry. The medical center notes that concerns related to preserving one's ethnic identity are just one of many issues taken into account by Beverly Hills Physicians when a potential patient is considering cosmetic surgery options. Indeed, they note that the goal of rhinoplasties (nose jobs), for example, is not to conform to a particular standard of beauty, but to reveal a more attractive version of the patient.
Beverly Hills Physicians fully understands that the nose is not simply an appendage that sits on the face; it is a highly important breathing and sensory organ. But because it lies in the center of the face, it is a natural that some patients have concerns with its shape or appearance, especially if they feel it draws undue attention. While the roots of rhinoplasty date back to ancient times, BHP notes that they are not only on the cutting edge of the latest achievements in this quickly advancing field, but have completed hundreds of beautiful, successful, and safe rhinoplasty procedures.
Occasionally, BHP notes, patients find themselves unhappy with previous rhinoplasty results done elsewhere. In such cases, the issues can be cosmetic or health related; symptoms of a poor nose job can include blocked airways and even a constantly runny nose. BHP notes that their widely respected plastic surgeons are outstanding practitioners who fully understand how to alleviate these concerns. Rhinoplasty revisio n is just another cosmetic surgery option that BHP provides that aims to correct results that are less than pleasing or which may cause complications or health issues.
Beverly Hills Physicians understands that every patient is unique and all patients bear individual concerns regarding the process of achieving his or her best self with plastic surgery. For more information on the successes Beverly Hills Physicians have achieved, or to schedule a free consultation, interested readers are encouraged to call them at 800-788-1416 or visit the medical group online at http://www.BeverlyHillsPhysicians.com.

Counterculture is a movement and lifestyle that opposes the status quo. The most famous counterculture movement was that of the '60s hippies that believed in civil and women's rights and stood against the war in Vietnam. These movements have always carried a set of symbols to help identify the participators, and those symbols have been used for gain time and time again. Here are some counterculture icons that would make any Capitalist lick his lips with greed.
John Lennon's New York City Shirt
This photo by Bob Gruen is an iconic symbol of the great musician and his affinity for the city of New York. The picture shows Lennon in the famous New York City shirt with cut-off sleeves, his round glasses and his characteristic mop top. This image is not only reproduced in mass as a poster that has adorned more college dorm walls than any other object, image or bodily fluid, but it also made the actual shirt an icon. Not only is the shirt in the picture reproduced but you can buy a shirt that has John Lennon wearing the shirt. That some real Inception type stuff.
Che Guevara's head
No not his actual head, but the photograph that has been infinitely reproduced and reissued by Alberto Korda. The artist never claimed one 'red' cent from the sale of the picture since he was a strong proponent of communism. The image was then given (or sold, this isn't definitive) to a wealthy Italian publisher where it was put on the cover of Che's Bolivian diary, without any credit to the artist. Finally, the most iconic iteration of the image was created by Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick and produced in mass and distributed (again for free) amongst people in London. This story is all tragedy and artistic thievery though. In 2000, Korda sued Smirnoff for using the image in an alcohol commercial which he felt was unbefitting to the revolutionary's image. Korda gave the $50.000 out of court settlement to the Cuban healthcare system, and Fitzpatrick signed over the rights to his red, black and white image to the William Soler Pediatric Cardiology Hospital in Havana, Cuba and any revenue it may create.
The Peace Symbol
The quintessential piece of counterculture imagery - the three pronged piece symbol - finds its way into graffiti and protests of today. Almost 60 years after its inception. Originally used as the logo for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, it was quickly adopted generally as an anti-war symbol. The artist laid no claim to what he created insuring that the peace symbol would be forever associated with the pungent odor of patchouli and B.O because it is free to use unlike deodorant.
The Anarchist A
This is a readily recognizable symbol with connotations of chaos, but as this is a huge philosophical debate we will not get into it. This symbol is usually seen it at protests, riots or Hot Topic. This ideology is very intensive and usually associated with workers' rights and revolution. The image of the rough A in a circle was been made famous by punk rock musicians that printed and drew it on EVERYTHING.
Colored bandanas originated in the gay community as a symbol of complacency of certain sexual acts. Of course, due to the visibility and social acceptability of the lifestyle in the 80s and 90s, the bandanas were phased out but adopted by various gangs so they could easily identify friends or foes. The most famous colors are red and blue made popular by the Eastside vs Westside conflict of the 90s. Even with being negatively associated with gang culture, bandanas sell like hot cakes for everyone from hikers, tennis players and douchie hipsters.
Is there a counterculture symbol that I might have missed? Well let me know in the comment section below.

Hey Casa lovers!, this dessert if one of my favorite ones to make this time of the year for Thanksgiving and of course I had to share it with you my dear friends!. I have to say, since I did not put any toppings or fruit spread on it, I had to do it on a water bath. I know that for some people is too much work but trust me when I tell you, if you are not going to put any toppings on any cheesecake, the water bath is the route to go. Make it today so it's ready for tomorrow!!!!!!
For the crust
1 1/2 cup of Graham crackers, crushed ( I use Keebler)
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
5 tablespoons of butter, unsalted, melted (I use Breakstone brand)
Cheesecake filling
3 (8 oz) packages of Philadelphia cream cheese (@ room temperature)
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin puree (I use Libby's)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of real vanilla extract (I use McCormick)
1/4 of ground nutmeg
1/4 of ground allspice
– Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
– Take your springform pan and put foil paper all around it
– Take either a food processor or a zipper bag and smash the crackers evenly until they are crumbs. Take the crumbs, the melted butter, the tablespoon of sugar and with a spatula fold them until well combined. Make sure you don't make a paste, it has to be a bit crumbly
– Take a glass and press the crackers mixture onto the springform pan and bake for 5 minutes, set aside and let cool until you make the batter
– Put water to boil to use for the water bath
– In a stand mixer, mix the sugar, cream cheese and vanilla together until smooth on #2 speed
– Then add the pumpkin, the spices and add one egg at a time
– Once is well combined, take a spatula and mix by hand well
– Pour this delicious batter into the springform pan, take a shallow container (like a roasting pan) and add the boiling water. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, make sure you put it in the center of the oven. No peeking!
– Once the time is up, turn the oven off, open the door mid way and let it be for about an hour. After that's done, take it out and let it cool off the oven for 1/2 hour and then transfer to the refrigerator
– I know these may seen like a thousand steps but the writing is more than the making of it! and it's soo worth itttttt.
Love how this picture came out!. Last step I swear!, cut, serve and add whip cream if you'd like and enjoy!!
Happy Thanksgiving my lovely Casa lovers, I love you all!

Denver Part 1: Josh Plumley (1995) and Beau Fleming
I know I've been remiss in posting lately, and I'll blame it on lack of internet (not entirely true) and the overwhelming draw that Missoula has to sit back and forget all responsibilities.
We found out that while eastern Kansas is just lovely, western Kansas is as flat and relentless as everyone says it is. So when dad said, "Look Katie, I think those are the Rockies!" I told him "No way, those are just the bottoms of clouds." I hadn't seen these kinds of mountains in some years, and they're just unreal as they rise from out of the plains of Kansas.
Josh Plumley met us at his house that evening and we walked to his neighborhood sushi restaurant which had a really odd western name that sounded more like an Irish Pub, but great sushi. There he introduced us to his wife, Alissa, and her mother, Phyllis. Alissa is one of the friendliest people I've ever met and made us feel incredibly welcome in their home (Josh did too, but he has nothing on his wife). Their story is that they work for separate companies in technology sales but had to communicate with each other fairly often via telephone. After (and I'm shaky on this fact) about two years of talking, they finally met at a conference and turned out to Alissa's surprise that "Josh wasn't an old man!" They spent the entire conference together and that was that.
On another note which may be of much interest, horror, or relief, depending on the audience, ESA as of next year is banning the practice of the students' favorite way of embracing the culture of Europe. That is, drinking in the British pubs and Parisian bistros. Goes for the teachers as well. Well we got to talking about this development to Josh and his take was "Probably for the best," and told us this story:
Josh and a friend of his had a couple of drinks and were walking back to the hotel when they were lured into an establishment by the promise of dancing girls. The two of them were escorted by a man down a flight of stairs into a room where they sat down by themselves. They ordered drinks from the man, which he brought over, and told them, to their horror, that they owed 600 pounds. Then the man walked out of the room. In shock, the two of them sipped on their drinks and decided that they were screwed. Next the dancing girls entered the room and provided a performance. The man returned and told them that they owed another 600 pounds. They were worried that not only would they not be able to pay, but they might not get out of there alive. Once again, the man walked away and they were alone in the room. So they decided that they better make a run for it before he came back and charged another 600 pounds for sitting there.
They escaped unscathed and if you think about it, got away with free drinks and a free show.
We got back to the the house after dinner and Beau Fleming showed up for a few drinks. I had a technology crisis and was dealing with my computer at that point, so I didn't get to hear his story. What I did gather is that he's a psychiatrist and has had some interesting patients. Dad let me know that it was too bad that I didn't talk to Beau because he's "really interesting and smart." Maybe dad'll write a post.

Hi all,
I just had an unpleasant experience in a supermarket car park. When I got out of my car, a NZ Couriers woman was also getting out of her van and yelled at me "That was pretty f-ing arrogant". I was a bit gobsmacked and just apologised and she stormed off into the supermarket. The thing is, I don't really understand what I did wrong.
Yes, I parked in the spot to the rare of where she was while she still had her lights on - was it maybe because she was wanting to straighten up and I should have waited?
Anyway I'm not used to being shouted at in parking lots so I'm thinking of complaining (or at least wanting to wanting to clarify what I'd done wrong to offend her), but are NZ Couriers all owner drivers? Am I likely to just get put through to her when I call the 0800 number? Should I bother complaining?
Appreciate any advice.

- rbeckAsked on July 27, 2016 at 07:28 PM
I am trying to conditionally calculate a value based on an numerical entry. Example if the user enters 1 or 2 or 3 etc, I am trying to create a hidden field for other calculations which assigns a value based on if the number the user enters is Greater than 2 then value is X.
I have used this feature before in other forms, but now the UPDATE/Calculate Field options in Conditional editor is missing both Greater Than and Less Than.
Is there something required to have <> in the STATE section of the Conditional wizard?

Those options "less than and greater than" are only available on number field and form calculation field.

This is the time of year that companies are finishing up their annual retirement plan audits. The filing of IRS Form 5500 is due on July 31 for plans with calendar year-ends.
In general, any retirement plan exceeding $250,000 in assets must file a 5500. But how do you know when you are ready for a retirement plan audit?
With some exceptions, all retirement plans with 100 or more eligible participants at the beginning of a plan year require an annual audit.
Keep in mind that eligible participants aren't just your employees who are actively participating. It also includes eligible employees who don't participate. So, if you have 100 employees and only 50 of them are participating in the retirement plan, you still need an audit. Total participants also include people who have left the company but are still entitled to plan benefits and deceased individuals who have beneficiaries receiving benefits through the plan.
Once your plan reaches 100 eligible participants, an annual audit must be performed by a qualified third-party CPA firmlike Carpenter, Evert and Associates. The results of the audit are included in your Form 5500 filing.
A retirement plan audit will look for assurance that certain requirements are met, including:
- All employees have the same access to participation in the plan
- Specific requirements of the plan are done in accordance with the written terms of the plan
- The plan's assets are valued accurately
- Plan transactions are compliant with current laws
As you approach 100 plan participants, be aware that many variables can affect the need for a retirement plan audit, including participant exceptions, the 80/120 rule, and specifics of your company's plan. A retirement plan audit expert at Carpenter, Evert and Associates can help you determine when you will need an annual audit and how to plan ahead for the process.
To contact a retirement plan audit specialist, Click Here or call us at (952) 831-0085.
For more information on filing your Form 5500, go to the IRS Form 5500 Corner.
