This website has been developed with the support of the heating, insulation, glazing and lighting industries to provide information on how to improve the Energy Efficiency of Homes.
There is a great deal of confusing and sometimes conflicting information about what should be done and what is the best thing to do? What will save the most money? And what is the pay-back?
The fact is that all homes will need to be fully insulated, have the most efficient heating and hot water systems and controls, have efficient windows and low energy lighting. It is not about why or how it is about when and that is now!
The Climate Change Act 2008 sets legally binding targets for greenhouse gas emissions reductions of at least 80% by 2050 with an interim target of at least 26% by 2020 against a 1990 baseline. The Act also establishes a carbon budgeting system which caps emissions over five year periods, with three budgets set at a time, to set out our trajectory to 2050. The first three carbon budgets will run from 2008-12, 2013-17 and 2018-22, and must be set by 1 June 2009. The Government must report to Parliament its policies and proposals to meet the budgets as soon as practical after that.
This website will help you understand the issues; explain the benefits of Energy Performance Certificates, where to get one and how to improve it.
G2Action is about getting you to take action to improve your home and moving from being a "G" towards being an "A"

Peripheral Visuospatial Attention: An fMRI Study
Dugan, James Patrick
MetadataShow full item record
Dugan, James Patrick
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to demonstrate the effects of directing sustained attention to near and far peripheral locations ( <12 and >20 degree eccentricities, respectively) on blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response. Using a Hillyard paradigm we presented 8 Hz flashing light stimuli at 8, 12, 22, and 33 degree eccentricities in the upper left and right quadrants of the visual field. The 8 and 12 degree locations were presented randomly using a projection system. In a separate session the 22 and 33 degree locations were presented with the same timing, but using fiber optics to direct stimuli near the eye. During the presentation of the stimuli the subjects alternated their attention between a single left and right location while maintaining central gaze. BOLD response to the stimuli at the attended and unattended locations was evaluated. All subjects showed a response in visual areas V1, V2/VP, and MT+, in both attended and unattended conditions. A number of parietal locations also responded well to the visual stimuli. At all of these locations subjects showed a significant modulation of activation with sustained attention. The magnitude of the modulation was similar for the near and far periphery, but varied by visual region; MT+ showed the greatest modulation.

We had a barbeque so of course my mind convinced me to pretend I'm just like everybody else. 'Go ahead, and have some of that hot sausage' that contains nightshades and was probably grain-fed. 'Have a margarita, you've been good.' But actually I haven't. I recently discovered the uncured bacon from Whole Foods that I've been eating for months is made from grain-fed piggies. Not very Paleo, Jasmine!
In the middle of the night I noticed that I broke out in a fresh rash near my arm pits. It boils down to either the margarita mix, which was the healthiest mix I could find (again, justifying cheating) and/or the half of sausage I consumed that was probably made with wheat and for sure contained nightshades. I hope I learned my lesson…enough to remember this the next time my mind wants to fit in with the cool kids.
I joined a community called Fitocracy, a social network that allows you to track your workouts for points (leveling up is addicting for this wanna-be-gamer), and connect with others. I posed a question in the Paleo group pertaining to where a girl can find some grass-fed and, just as important, grass-finished meats. A couple of people swore by U.S. Wellness Meats, so I put an order on a Saturday evening, and received my shipment Tuesday afternoon – frozen, vacuum-sealed, and eager to please me. So far I'm not disappointed by anything I ordered, which included bacon, rabbit, chicken wings, ground bison and ribeye, lamb chops and kebobs, breakfast and chicken/apple sausages, etc.
I'm on Day 26 of a 30 Day [exercise] Challenge. I wish I could say I've been able to keep up with the ever-increasing planks and squats, but I can't deny how proud I am of myself for sticking with it. My recent hormonal migraine has not been helping me achieve my goals, but that's okay. This Challenge was a great way to jump-start my exercise goals. And hopefully the more I exercise the less head pain I'll feel.

The beginning
In August 2012, I quit my job. I had worked at the same accounting firm for 12 years prior and was leaving to pursue my passion...personal fitness training. I had finally completed my certification in January 2012 and slowly worked towards leaving a job I thoroughly enjoyed for a job where I could help people in a different way. I wanted to show my community how to be healthy!
Towards the end of 2012, I began training for my first half marathon. I completed it on December
30th. I felt GREAT!!! No aches, no pains, no problems, just pure joy! Then in January, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There were so many things going through my mind. How could this happen to me? I eat healthy, live healthy and have no risk factors. I am too young to have... Could the tests be wrong? Am I having a bad dream? How do I tell people? What do I do now? On the outside, I sobbed. On the inside, I felt surreal. People walking by me, living life. This cannot be real. There were people all around yet I have never felt so alone.

Darlene I had no idea, how were you diagnosed and what is the prognosis if you don't mind me asking? I fear not having health insurance and not being able to go to the doctor although I do make a point to go to my annual gyn appointment every year.ReplyDelete
Darlene, I know we don't speak often but do share the same church family and I'm sorry I've not made a better effort as your family in Christ. Know that our family is praying for you. hugs!!! <3ReplyDelete
Thank you, Audrey. :-)ReplyDelete
Connie, I will reply to you privately on FB.ReplyDelete
Thank you, Audrey. :-)ReplyDelete
praying for you (((Darlene))) ~Janette HowardReplyDelete
I am praying for ya'll! Chin up little sister!ReplyDelete
I can only imagine your shock and aloneness at hearing such gut-wrenching news. No amount of feeling good and inner strength can prepare you for this diagnosis!ReplyDelete
There are so many cancer survivers (my mother survived breast cancer) and so much assistance in dealing with all the aspects of health care involved (chemo, radiation, surgeries, etc). I will be praying for your Health Care providers, along with your physical and emotional state through these days ahead. If there is anything I can do, NO matter how small, please do not hesitate to call on me. You are a child of the Most High God who loves and cares for you "ALWAYS & FOREVER".
Darlene, I read this while I was on vacation and was shocked. I only had my Ipad and it wouldn't let me comment, but I wanted to be sure to come back and comment now.ReplyDelete
I can't believe it. But I know, for all the reasons you listed why you shouldn't have been someone diagnosed with breast cancer - those will all be contributing factors to why you are a survivor! It sounds like you already have a plan of action. I know your courage and faith will bring you through this.
You are a strong and beautiful woman with a faith that is even stronger.
I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers my dearest "first best friend".

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 15, 2016) - Storm Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SRX) -
Storm has filed its unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at June 30, 2016 and for the three and six months then ended along with Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") for the same period. This information appears on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on Storm's website at www.stormresourcesltd.com.
Selected financial and operating information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 appears below and should be read in conjunction with the related financial statements and MD&A.
Umbach, Northeast British Columbia
Storm's land position at Umbach is prospective for liquids-rich natural gas from the Montney formation and currently totals 109,000 net acres (155 net sections). To date, 48 horizontal wells have been drilled (44.4 net) with 39 horizontal wells producing at the end of the second quarter (35.4 net).
Production in the second quarter was 12,852 Boe per day and NGL recovery was 35 barrels per Mmcf sales with 53% being higher priced field condensate plus pentanes recovered at the gas plant.
During the second quarter, three horizontal wells (3.0 net) started production. There is currently an inventory of nine horizontal wells (9.0 net) that have not started producing which includes three completed wells.
Storm's two operated field compression facilities have total capacity of 80 Mmcf per day raw gas with actual throughput in the second quarter averaging 67 Mmcf per day raw gas. Construction of a third field compression facility with initial capacity of 35 Mmcf per day is planned for early 2017 with start-up in April for an estimated total cost of $25.0 million with $10.9 million having been invested to date to purchase major equipment ($6.1 million in Q1 2016 and $4.8 million in 2015). The third facility is expandable to 70 Mmcf per day raw gas for an additional investment of $7.0 million.
Raw gas from Storm's field compression facilities is sent to the McMahon and Stoddart Gas Plants where Storm has firm processing commitments totaling 65 Mmcf per day raw gas in 2016.
A summary of horizontal well performance and costs is provided below. The five most recent horizontal wells have averaged 5.5 Mmcf per day gross raw gas over the first 90 calendar days, a 15% improvement from the average 2014 and 2015 horizontal well. On a per-stage basis, the drill and complete cost for the most recent wells has decreased by 28% from 2014.
The majority of future horizontal wells are expected to have greater than 1,600 metres of completed length with more than 28 frac stages while the average 2014 and 2015 wells have a completed length of 1,265 metres and an average of 21 frac stages. More information on the type curve and well economics is provided in the presentation on Storm's website.
Horn River Basin, Northeast British Columbia
Storm has a 100% working interest in 119 sections in the Horn River Basin (78,000 net acres) which are prospective for natural gas from the Muskwa, Otter Park and Evie/Klua shales. Storm's one horizontal well, producing 280 Boe per day, was shut in during July 2015 due to the low natural gas price at BC Station 2. Cumulative production to date from this well is 5.1 Bcf raw.
Commodity price hedges are used to support longer term growth by providing some certainty regarding future revenue and funds flow. The objective is to hedge 50% of most recent monthly production for the next 12 months and 25% of most recent monthly production for 13 to 24 months forward; anticipated production growth is not hedged. Although Storm has no oil production, the WTI price is hedged as approximately 80% of NGL production is priced in reference to WTI (condensate, plant pentane and butane). A summary of commodity price hedges is provided below.
Storm's strategy with respect to natural gas transportation commitments is to diversify natural gas sales by selling at Chicago, AECO and BC Station 2. Current transportation commitments total 65 Mmcf per day in 2016 and increase to 91 Mmcf per day in 2018 (interruptible capacity on the Alliance Pipeline adds up to 11 Mmcf per day in 2016 and 14 Mmcf per day in 2018). A summary is provided below and further information on pipeline tariffs and price deductions is provided in the presentation on Storm's website.
Production in the third quarter is forecast to be approximately 12,500 to 13,500 Boe per day. Capital investment in the third quarter is expected to be $8.0 to $11.0 million which includes completing and pipeline connecting three to four horizontal wells at Umbach.
When first quarter results were reported on May 12, natural gas prices in April had averaged $1.04/GJ at AECO and US$1.92/Mmbtu at Chicago, the field netback was $2.15 per Boe and production was reduced to meet firm transportation and processing commitments. In such circumstances, Storm's primary objective was to avoid increasing debt in order to preserve the ability to accelerate growth when the natural gas price improved. With the recent improvement in the natural gas price (July was $2.25/GJ at AECO and US$2.73/MMbtu at Chicago), the field netback has improved to approximately $10.00 per Boe and growth is again economically justifiable. If natural gas prices remain at this level during the second half of 2016, additional horizontal wells will be drilled and completed at Umbach and capital investment for 2016 will increase to $36.0 to $50.0 million (was $37.0 to $42.0 million). This includes $6.1 million incurred in the first quarter to purchase major equipment for the third field compression facility at Umbach where start-up is planned for April 2017. Updated guidance for 2016 and preliminary guidance for 2017 is provided below.
The AECO - BC Station 2 price differential was -$0.20 per GJ in the second quarter, an improvement from the 2015 average of -$0.85 per GJ. Having the differential return to historical levels (average for 2010 to 2014 was -$0.20 per GJ) is supportive of Storm's future production growth which would be sold at BC Station 2.
Natural gas prices in North America have improved significantly over the last three months as a result of increasing demand in the United States (electric power generation, LNG exports, exports to Mexico) and flat to declining production. With rig counts at historical lows and higher debt levels preventing many producers from increasing capital investment, natural gas prices should continue improving into 2017. Longer term also appears increasingly bullish with LNG export capacity of more than 9 Bcf/d currently operating or under construction on the US Gulf Coast plus US exports to Mexico are expected to continue increasing as multiple new export pipelines and interconnections are completed over the next two years.
Although Storm's growth rate in 2016 was reduced by the deferral of activity due to very low natural gas prices in the first half of the year, production is still forecast to increase by 36% per share on a year-over-year basis. Storm's strong financial position will support planned growth in 2017 which includes the addition of a third field compression facility at Umbach with initial capacity of 35 Mmcf per day (April 2017 start-up).
The cost to drill and complete horizontal wells at Umbach has decreased by 28% on a per-stage basis since 2014. Further reductions are expected in the second half of 2016 from lower service costs and from modifying completion techniques.
At Umbach, Storm has a higher quality, liquids-rich land position in the Montney formation which is at a relatively shallow depth resulting in a lower cost to drill and complete horizontal wells. With 155 net sections, there remains room for significant future growth given that there are producing horizontal wells on only 6% of the lands (9 net sections), proved plus probable reserves are assigned on only 20% of the lands (31 net sections), and approximately 33% of the lands have been delineated to date with producing horizontal wells. The focus remains on increasing value for shareholders by converting this large resource into production and cash flow per share growth. This will come from continuing to improve well performance, finding ways to further reduce the cost to drill and complete wells, decreasing controllable cash costs (reducing third party processing fees), and maintaining a strong balance sheet to preserve the ability to accelerate growth when commodity prices are supportive of doing so.

Boe Presentation - For the purpose of calculating unit revenues and costs, natural gas is converted to a barrel of oil equivalent ("Boe") using six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas equal to one barrel of oil unless otherwise stated. Boe may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A Boe conversion ratio of six Mcf to one barrel ("Bbl") is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. All Boe measurements and conversions in this report are derived by converting natural gas to oil in the ratio of six thousand cubic feet of gas to one barrel of oil. Mboe means 1,000 Boe.
Non-GAAP Measures - This document contains the terms "funds from operations", "funds from operations per share", "netbacks", "field netbacks", "field operating income", "total operating income", "cash costs", and measurements "per Boe" which are not recognized under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and are regarded as non-GAAP measures. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the calculation of similar amounts for other entities and readers are cautioned that use of such measures to compare enterprises may not be valid. In particular, funds from operations is not intended to represent, or be equivalent to, cash flow from operating activities calculated in accordance with GAAP, which is measured on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Funds from operations and similar non-GAAP terms are used to benchmark operations against prior periods and peer group companies and are widely used by investors, analysts and other parties. These measurements are also used by lenders to measure compliance with debt covenants and thus set interest costs. Additional information relating to certain of these non-GAAP measures, including the reconciliation between funds from operations and cash flow from operating activities, can be found in the MD&A.
Forward-Looking Information - This press release contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. The use of any of the words "will", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "believe", "plan", "potential", "outlook", "forecast", "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements or information. More particularly, and without limitation, this press release contains forward-looking statements and information concerning: production; drilling and completion plans; capacity of facilities; timing and construction of a third field compression facility and the purchase of equipment in connection therewith; the effect on the Company of the operations capital expenditures being reduced in 2016; hedging; 2016 and 2017 guidance in respect of certain operational and financial metrics, including, but not limited to, commodity pricing, estimated average operating costs, estimated average royalty rate, estimated operations capital, estimated land and property acquisition costs, estimated general and administrative costs, estimated fourth quarter production, estimated annual production, estimated number of Umbach horizontal wells drilled, completed and starting production and estimated debt in 2016 and 2017; reserve volumes; commodity prices; production, operating and general and administrative costs; anticipated lower costs for services; anticipated higher level of run rate cash flow associated with a larger production base; natural gas sales; and improvement on controllable cash costs. Statements of "reserves" are also deemed to be forward looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and that the reserves can be profitably produced in the future.
The forward-looking statements and information in this press release are based on certain key expectations and assumptions made by Storm, including: prevailing commodity prices and exchange rates; applicable royalty rates and tax laws; future well production rates; reserve and resource volumes; the performance of existing wells; success to be expected in drilling new wells; the adequacy of budgeted capital expenditures to carrying out planned activities; the availability and cost of services; and the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking statements and information are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements and information because of their inherent uncertainty. In particular, there is no assurance that exploitation of the Company's undeveloped lands and prospects will result in the emergence of profitable operations.
Since forward-looking statements and information address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to the risks associated with the oil and gas industry in general such as: operational risks in development, exploration and production; delays or changes in plans with respect to exploration or development projects or capital expenditures; the uncertainty of reserve estimates; the uncertainty of estimates and projections relating to reserves, production, costs and expenses; health, safety and environmental risks; commodity price and exchange rate fluctuations; marketing and transportation of petroleum and natural gas and loss of markets; environmental risks; competition; ability to access sufficient capital from internal and external sources; stock market volatility; and changes in legislation, including but not limited to tax laws, royalty rates and environmental regulations.
Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Additional information on these and other factors that could affect the operations or financial results of the Company are included or are incorporated by reference in the company's MD&A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.
The forward-looking statements and information contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof and the Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable securities laws.

Irving (/ɜːrvɪŋ/ UR-ving) is a principal city located in Dallas County in the U.S. state of Texas. According to a 2013 estimate from the United States Census Bureau, the city population was 228,653[9] making it the thirteenth most populous city in Texas. Irving is part of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
Irving includes the Las Colinas community, one of the first master-planned developments in the United States and once the largest mixed-use development in the Southwest with a land area of more than 12,000 acres (4,856 ha). Las Colinas is home to the Mustangs at Las Colinas, which is the largest equine sculpture in the world, as well as many Fortune 500 companies, such as ExxonMobil, Kimberly-Clark and Fluor Corporation. In January 2011 the city completed the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas and continues to develop the area into a mixed-use complex including a special entertainment district.
Part of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport lies inside the city limits of Irving.
Irving was founded in 1903 by J.O. "Otto" Schulze and Otis Brown. It is believed that literary author Washington Irving was a favorite of Netta Barcus Brown, and consequently the name of the town site, Irving, was chosen. Irving originally began in 1889 as an area called Gorbit, and in 1894 the name changed to Kit.[10] Irving was incorporated April 14, 1914, with Otis Brown as the first mayor.
By the late nineteenth century the Irving area was the site of churches, two cotton gins, a blacksmith shop and a general store.

Government and infrastructure
Local government
Prior to the November 2008 elections, Irving banned the sale of alcoholic beverages in stores, making it the largest in population dry suburb in North Texas. In 2004 the pro-alcohol measure failed with 63% of voters opposing the measure. In 2006, 52% voted against the measure. On the third attempt, with heavy monetary backing by retailers, voters narrowly voted in favor of the measure in 2008.[49] People in favor of changing Irving's liquor laws saw the interest in the 2008 United States Presidential Election as a catalyst for changing the laws in their favor.[50]
In 2009 Irving had a city council that was entirely at-large. While Irving has a large population of racial minorities, the entire city council and the mayor's office, was entirely non-Hispanic White. Manny Benavidez, a resident of Irving, filed a lawsuit against the city in federal court in November 2007, saying that the voting system was not in compliance with the 1965 Voting Rights Act. On July 15, 2009, a federal judge ruled that Irving is required to create a new electoral system so that racial minority representatives may be voted into office.[51] In 2010 elections, which included one at-large seat and two district-seats, three new council members were elected, replacing two incumbents and adding a newly created seat. Among the three new council members were two minority council members.[52][53]
The city of Irving is a voluntary member of the North Central Texas Council of Governments association, the purpose of which is to coordinate individual and collective local governments and facilitate regional solutions, eliminate unnecessary duplication, and enable joint decisions.

A dive team has resumed the search for a 42-year-old Vancouver man who presumably drowned Wednesday night at Klineline Pond. The man reportedly waded into the deep section of pond to retrieve a child's hat when he went under, according to Clark County Fire District 6. The 911 call came in at about 8:30 p.m. from Salmon Creek Regional Park, 1112 N.E. 117th St. Within about four minutes, crews arrived at the scene, but the man was already lost underwater, said Fire District 6 spokeswoman Sarah Mitchelson. The man's family told rescue crews that a child's hat had blown off and landed in a part of the pond that is not a designated swimming area, Mitchelson said. The pond is an old rock quarry that's been filled with water, and there are deep drop-offs along some parts of the pond's floor, she said. "He waded out a distance and stepped off of the drop-off," Mitchelson said. The area of water where he was last seen is 40 feet deep and had a temperature of 50 degrees Wednesday night, she added. The man, who was not wearing a life jacket, called to his family for help, but they weren't able to reach him, she said. Wednesday night, crews with Fire District 6, the Clark County Sheriff's Office and the Southwest Washington Organization of Rescue Divers could not find the man, whose name was not released. The park will be closed to the public Thursday as crews continue their search. Comments | More in General news | Topics: drowning, Vancouver, wading

In the body of Stephen King's fiction--nearly 50 novels--11/22/63, an audacious refashioning of the Kennedy assassination and an exploration into the nature of time, fate, and love, might be his most ambitious book to date. Reviewed: Full Dark, No Stars ( Jan/Feb 2011), Blockade Billy ( July/Aug 2010), Under the Dome ( Jan/Feb 2010).
The Story: "Get rid of one wretched waif, buddy, and you could save millions of lives." With those words, Al Templeton, a cancer-stricken diner owner about to lose his business, convinces high school English teacher Jake Epping to take a trip into the past--September 9, 1958, to be exact. When Epping lands there under the assumed identity of George T. Amberson, he's got one goal in mind: to stop the assassination of President John F. Kennedy five years in the future. But what Epping/Amberson discovers in Dallas is a world of misdirection and coincidence (and, in an unusual twist for Stephen King, romance) that forces him to dig hard to get to the truth--before he kills Lee Harvey Oswald, thereby changing the course of history. Easier said than done. "The past," Jake learns, "is obdurate."
Scribner. 849 pages. $35. ISBN: 9781451627282
New York Times
"On the 849 pages between those covers, Mr. King pulls off a sustained high-wire act of storytelling trickery. ... Mr. King's description of America in the midst of the Cuban missile crisis, fearing imminent nuclear annihilation, is at least as scary as anything he ever made up." Janet Maslin
Washington Post
"A tale richly layered with the pleasures we've come to expect: characters of good heart and wounded lives, whose adventures into the fantastic are made plausible because they are anchored in reality, in the conversations and sense of place that take us effortlessly into the story. ... [King] is not only as famous and wealthy a writer as any of his time; his work suggests that if a time traveler found a portal to the 22nd century and looked for the authors of today still being read tomorrow, Stephen King would be one of them." Jeff Greenfield
Miami Herald
"11/22/63 draws you into the lives of ordinary people and their problems with the pull that has always been the secret to King's phenomenal success. ... Fortunately King, who is now 64, has long been aware of how much his faithful readers love him, and 11/22/63 is, in many ways, a gift from him to us." Rene Rodriguez
Milwaukee Jrnl Sentinel
"Jake may wear a similarly white hat, but his efforts to rewrite the past in his own image also dabble in black magic, of the sort that tempts every great quester searching to write the story of a different and better future. As 11/22/63 proves anew, King is one of them, and his latest quest merits a journey of your own to your favorite bookstore." Mike Fischer
St. Petersburg Times
"This is King's first novel to focus on a single historical event, and he brings to vivid life such actual characters as the mysterious émigré and possible spy George de Mohrenschildt, hapless FBI Agent James Hosty (Oswald's keeper in the months before the assassination) and Oswald himself. ... Harrowing, heroic and heartbreaking, 11/22/63 is a trip into the past you won't want to miss." Colette Bancroft
Cleveland Plain Dealer
"King, who first tried to write this book in 1972, would--as always--benefit from more aggressive editing. Still, a reader who tries merely sampling 11/22/63 may find herself blowing off commitments, settling into a chair for the weekend and swallowing the book whole." Michelle Jarboe McFee
Minneapolis Star Tribune
"King's 11/22/63 is a boring read. ... King has thoroughly researched this period of U.S. history, but it bogs down his story." Carole E. Barrowman
Critical Summary
The logistics of time travel could have sunk 11/22/63 very quickly. But what has always separated Stephen King from the pack is his storytelling ability and his immersion--and seeming belief--in the tales he tells. Riffing on time travel without running into the scientific weeds, the novel recalls Jack Finney's Time and Again or Ken Grimwood's Replay (which itself features an interesting take on the Kennedy assassination). King's books are long and occasionally in need of some pruning, but he's earned his words, and readers would be sorely disappointed if the stories ever went under the knife. Those who grew up reading King know that even his bad sentences are better than most. The veteran's got another hit on his hands.

Mothapalooza celebrated its fifth year in 2017! It was another wonderful weekend of mothing, diurnal field trips, workshops, keynote presentations and camaraderie based out of Shawnee Lodge & Conference Center.
Please mark your calendars and join us for the next Mothapalooza, coming July 12-14, 2019.
Mothapalooza is a celebration of the rich and stunningly beautiful world of moths. Their much better known diurnal counterparts the butterflies are dwarfed by the diversity of moths. Fewer than 140 butterfly species have been recorded in Ohio; there are an estimated 3,000 species of moths. We know from the previous five Mothapaloozas that participants can expect to see a blizzard of moths, numbering into hundreds of species.
Our weekend program features an interesting range of talks by leading experts, Break-out Sessions and field trips to experience moths and other elements of natural history firsthand.
Sponsored in large part by the Ohio Division of Wildlife, the 2017 Conference featured well-known keynote speakers and guides including Doug Tallamy, Author of "Bringing Nature Home", Eric Metzler, Moth Expert Extraordinaire (he's got so many credentials, I can't list them here - click his name link!) and Samuel Jaffe, a New England-based Naturalist and Founder of The Caterpillar Lab.
The 2019 Conference planning is underway and we will announce our keynotes and field guides well in advance of the event. We expect to open registration in February of 2019.
The event was based at the beautiful Shawnee Lodge & Conference Center in the heart of the 65,000 acre Shawnee State Forest. This will be our venue again for 2019. A few miles to the west is the expansive 16,000 acre Edge of Appalachia Preserve. This region harbors Ohio's richest biodiversity and is chockfull of rarities, both plant and animal. Expert-guided field trips, both day and night, will explore the best habitats in the area. Attendees can expect to compile huge lists of moths, butterflies, myriad other insects, birds, plants, and more.
We hope you will join us for what should be a one-of-a-kind Nature Experience!
Dave McShaffrey posing with some spectacular moths during Mothapalooza 2013 - and take a look at that sheet! We will be returning to the same venue in 2017.

We woke up to a whole lot of it covering everything in a blanket of white. The colder it is outside, the more you enjoy the warmth of your home. Rafael and I cuddled and snuggled and made each other laugh. The dogs came back in from a morning romp in the garden with snow stuck to their fur.
My little guy had a fever the past few days but was feeling much better today. So full of chuckles and kicks.
I didn't have the cable to my camera, so I took pictures with my iphone, which was fun.
I hope you are enjoying your week!

By now, most of us are familiar with law enforcement's use of DNA when investigating crimes. Samples are taken from individuals suspected of committing certain criminal acts to see if they can be tied to a crime scene. Arizona collects these DNA samples, and then checks to see if there are any other crimes where the DNA was present. This could result in additional charges for defendants.
Will Drones Eventually End Warrants?
Drones have become one of the most effective weapons being used in the war on terror. When a mission is too risky for troops, officials can send remote controlled aircraft into trouble spots and conduct surveillance or attack targets.
Child Passengers May Mean Aggravated DUI in Arizona
Arizona's tough DUI laws are designed to make motorists think twice before getting behind-the-wheel if they have had too much to drink. The penalties for a DUI conviction can have a long-lasting effect, making it difficult to move past the initial punishments. If the matter becomes a high-profile case, it can be a challenge to present a strong defense to the charges.
DREs: The Special Officers Focused on "Drugged Driving"
Arizona has had some of the toughest drunk driving laws in the U.S. Some of these laws have recently changed to lesson some of the potential penalties that go along with a DUI conviction. However, like many other states, Arizona is experiencing challenges with the number of drivers thought to be operating while under the influence of drugs. One of the main difficulties that for officials is developing a system to test motorists that officers believe are impaired.
More Law Enforcement Officials Focusing on 'Bath Salt' Drug Crimes
A new type of drug has been making national news lately. Commonly referred to as "bath salts," these synthetic drugs are designed to mirror the effects of other illegal drugs, such as PCP. A recent attack in Florida by a man believed to be under the influence of bath salts may lead to increased penalties for those convicted of drug crimes associated with these drugs.

Who's Your IDOL?
Just who is your IDOL? Is it money? Is it your car? Is it your favorite singer? Well this is what the flesh wants it to be! We have a serious issue, not just in America but in the entire world. From the President to the University campus to programming on television, it is no surprise there is an all-out war against believers of GOD.
Colton Dixon would rather lose "American Idol" than try to conceal his spirituality.
Colton, a devout Christian from Murfreesboro, Tenn., plans to continue using the show and social media to spread his message of faith — despite warnings from producers that it could alienate some viewers and cost him the "Idol" crown.
"When we first started the Twitter and Facebook stuff, they said beware of political and religious tweets," he told TODAY.com. "Just because it can turn off voters or whatever. But, you know, being a Christian is who I am. It is a part of me musically. It is what I want to do after the show —go into Christian music….

1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:
•April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they "cling to guns or religion" and have an "antipathy to people who aren't like them."
•February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011.
•April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University, Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus' name be covered when he is making his speech.
•May 2009 – Obama declines to host services for the National Prayer Day (a day established by federal law) at the White House.
•April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three.
•October 19, 2010 – Obama begins deliberately omitting the phrase about "the Creator" when quoting the Declaration of Independence – an omission he has made on no less than seven occasions.
•November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is "E pluribus unum" rather than "In God We Trust" as established by federal law.
•January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court.
•February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress.
•April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.
•August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception.
•November 2011 – Obama opposes inclusion of President Franklin Roosevelt's famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial.
•November 2011 – Unlike previous presidents, Obama studiously avoids any religious references in his Thanksgiving speech.
•December 2011 – The Obama administration denigrates other countries' religious beliefs as an obstacle to radical homosexual rights.
•January 2012 – The Obama administration argues that the First Amendment provides no protection for churches and synagogues in hiring their pastors and rabbis.
•February 2012 – The Obama administration forgives student loans in exchange for public service, but announces it will no longer forgive student loans if the public service is related to religion.
2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith:
•June 2011 – The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery.
•August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD – a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except America).
•September 2011 – Air Force Chief of Staff prohibits commanders from notifying airmen of programs and services available to them from chaplains.
•September 2011 – The Army issues guidelines for Walter Reed Medical Center stipulating that "No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit."
•November 2011 – The Air Force Academy rescinds support for Operation Christmas Child, a program to send holiday gifts to impoverished children across the world, because the program is run by a Christian charity.
•November 2011 – The Air Force Academy pays $80,000 to add a Stonehenge-like worship center for pagans, druids, witches and Wiccans.
•February 2012 – The U. S. Military Academy at West Point dis-invites three star Army general and decorated war hero Lieutenant General William G. ("Jerry") Boykin (retired) from speaking at an event because he is an outspoken Christian.
•February 2012 – The Air Force removes "God" from the patch of Rapid Capabilities Office (the word on the patch was in Latin: Dei).
•February 2012 – The Army orders Catholic chaplains not to read a letter to parishioners that their archbishop asked them to read.

Do you Tweet? I have a Twitter account and I try to tweet regularly, but I often forget! But a few months ago I downloaded the Instagram app for my iPhone and I'm starting to become slightly addicted. Here are a few pics that I have been snapping and sharing on Twitter:
My iphone is quite an old model so the photos aren't as sharp as some that I see on Instagram, but I've been wondering – can you upload photos to Instagram that you took on a 'real' camera? Some of the photos look amazing and I doubt they have been taken on a phone. But then I wonder what's the point of doing that?!
Q. Do you have an Instagram profile? If so, please let me know because I'd love to follow more people. If you would like to follow me I'm @susewssoso, or you can just follow me on Twitter because I upload all my photos there as well. It's a good way of documenting what I'm currently working on without having to do a whole blog post.

Congressional Leaders Offer Reassuring Fiscal Statements
Our founder earned clients a 23% average annual return over five years as a stock analyst on Wall Street. "The Greek" has written for institutional newsletters, Businessweek, Real Money, Seeking Alpha and others, while also appearing across TV and radio. While writing for Wall Street Greek, Mr. Kaminis presciently warned of the financial crisis.
Go Long Over the Short Short-Term
More than a hint of compromise was in the wind as the group congenially addressed the nation. House Speaker Boehner said that some revenues were on the table. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said that some spending cuts were available. Democratic Party Senate Leader Harry Reid said the cornerstones of a deal were in place, and that they intended to close a deal rather than simply pass the buck forward. He added that the deal was a high priority focus, and that representatives were not going to wait until the last day of December, which was a concern of ours. He also noted that they might even work through a portion of the Thanksgiving Day recess, reflecting how important resolving the issue is to them. Finally, Senate Minority Leader McConnell concurred with the statements and closed, giving the public a sense of calm about the issue not previously existent.
Stocks, which had been down after heading into the press conference with low expectations, immediately broke above break-even ground. The SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE: SPY), which was down 5.1% from the election through Thursday November 15, was approaching a half point gain at noon, as was the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (NYSE: DIA) and the PowerShares QQQ (Nasdaq: QQQ). Oil is benefiting from the news as well, with the United States Oil (NYSE: USO) security driving up over 1.3% at the hour of scribbling here. Even gold is benefiting from the clarity, and as pressure lessens from its sellers using capital to buy stocks viewed as too cheap. The SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE: GLD) has broken above break-even ground. I offer kudos to the congressional leaders for this expression, because if it is executed upon, it offers support to shares. It at least reverses the near-term downtrend, and so I advise investors to raise risk and remove hedges at least through next week, barring other factors.

hi all, we sell CCTV Equipment online via our website http://www.jmcsecurity.co.uk, we want to redesign the site giving it more of professional look. we had the logo designed on here a few months ago, and would like to keep that intact and base the site colours around that.
target audience are mainly small to medium business looking to add CCTV to there premises as well as end users looking for some home security.
We are relatively happy with the website, but a lot of our customers are business's so we think we need to go for a more professional design. But its all about helping the end user be able to navigate around our website with ease. So good clear navigation is essential.
with regards layout, most the pages are a 2 column layout, but the home page can be 2 or 3 column. As long as theres plent of room to get all the information in.
apart from that we leave the creativity up to yourself.
All we really require from the winner is the original pdf files, but of course if you have css and html files would be an added bonus.
