November 30, 2011
The following was submitted by Heidi Nelson, CEO of Duffy Health Center; Karen Gardner, CEO/executive director of the Community Health Center of Cape Cod; Sally Deane, CEO/executive director of Outer Cape Health Services; David Reidy, executive director of the Mid-Upper Cape Community Health Center and the Ellen Jones Community Dental Center; and Cynthia Mitchell, executive director of Island Health Care on Martha's Vineyard.
Patients receiving their annual check-ups at one of the Cape and Islands' five community health centers may be hundreds of miles from the halls of the U.S. Congress, but the way lawmakers decide the future of federal health care spending will likely have an immediate impact on their future.
Despite Sen. John Kerry's efforts, the recent failure of the deficit-cutting supercommittee means that once again lawmakers will be scrutinizing every federal program to stave off $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts that now have been triggered. This could include cuts to state Medicaid funds and cost-effective programs like community health centers.
Many residents who live in communities served by health centers are worried about what these changes will mean in tough economic times. They are low-income families, elderly or disabled Americans and children, many of whom depend on Medicaid as their source of affordable health coverage and their local community health center for access to primary and preventive health care.
On the Cape and Islands we serve more than 46,000 residents, providing nearly 200,000 visits each year. We have seen firsthand how health centers are a win across the board for patients, states, the federal government and communities. Community health centers are recognized as among the most successful federal health programs ever created, with thousands of studies documenting their quality care, ability to keep costs down for Medicaid and other insurers, and role in creating jobs in economically challenged communities.
Here in Massachusetts, health centers represent the largest primary care network in the state, serving nearly 800,000 people. Equally compelling, Massachusetts health centers care for 30 percent of the commonwealth's Medicaid patients at a cost of only 1.3 percent of total state Medicaid spending.
As the states and Congress grapple with how to mend the nation's health care system, we are proud of the fact that community health centers remain ahead of the curve, providing a time-tested, comprehensive approach to health care that saves money and improves health. According to a recent study by the George Washington University, health centers generate annual savings of $24 billion ($1,263 per person) as a result of reducing the rate of preventable hospitalizations, inpatient days and emergency room use across the health system. They also bring economic benefits to our communities, generating more than 10,000 jobs in Massachusetts and nearly 200,000 across the country.
Disruptive changes to Medicaid, as well as potential cuts to health centers, could not come at a worse time. Health centers are already stretching their budgets to care for more of the working poor, who are struggling to keep their jobs and health insurance, or have already lost one or both. What's more, harmful changes to Medicaid could also increase the costs borne by taxpayers as patients lose a regular source of primary care and turn to expensive emergency rooms as their only option for health care.
Likewise, Congress should be wary of deficit-cutting proposals that shift costs and provide more flexibility to states — but also run the risk of weakening the provision of basic medical care for which community health centers were created.
Yes, we must address the growing national debt as a nation. But now is the time to be thoughtful about investing our limited resources where they will do the most good. We cannot afford to break or endanger what is working well. Community health centers are proven local solutions for improving the health of millions of Americans while significantly reducing costs across our health system.
Isn't that the goal in the first place?

A method for obtaining approximate solutions of transient three-dimensional heat-conduction problems has been investigated here analytically and experimentally. The method is based on the well-known principle of analogy between flow of heat and electricity and comprises a continuous resistance medium of resistivity ρe but discrete capacitances, which are introduced into the resistance medium through spherical electrodes. It has been shown that the internal behavior of the system is influenced only by the pitch diameter ratio λ of the spheres. Fundamental solutions for the infinite medium have been obtained and the analysis has shown that the system behaves like one having a resistivity ρe * which can be calculated from the actual resistivity of the liquid and the steady-state Green's function of the fluid-sphere system. Experiments for the determination of the steady-state and transient Green's functions are described. The accuracy of the method has also been investigated, and an illustrative example is given.

Most Recommended Car Accident Lawyer in Sly Park Hills Pollock Pines California
Many people in Sly Park Hills Pollock Pines California opt to hire an accident lawyer after they've been associated with an auto accident that results in accident and monetary losses.
Why Should You Work with a Lawyer?
Technically, you can file an injury claim versus an insurance company by yourself. Some people select this path when they have actually suffered only moderate injuries and have the time to look into the legal claims process themselves. Also, avoiding an attorney will conserve you some money in legal fees.
An accident attorney– especially an individual injury lawyer– can help you go up against huge car insurance companies and their group of attorneys. Your lawyer already knows the personal injury laws and procedural rules and can efficiently deal with all the legwork for you. She or he will function as your advocate throughout the whole case.
Due to the fact that an insurance company's legal representatives have the knowledge to reduce compensation and even reject the claim entirely, hiring an accident lawyer is the very best choice for individuals who:
- Have suffered severe injuries.
- Are faced with pricey medical expenses.
- Have actually experienced a substantial loss of salaries due to their injuries.
Needs to Seek advice from an Accident Lawyer
Consider working with an accident lawyer if any of the following apply to you.
- Automobile Accident Injuries
- Serious Injuries
Usually, the severity of your accidents is measured by the:
- Type of injury (or injuries) you've sustained.
Length of time it takes (or will take) for you to recover.
- Cost of medical bills (and any other healing treatments) you've sustained.
- This also can include the estimated cost of future medical treatments.
Long-Term or Permanently Disabling Injuries
Normally speaking, a long-term injury is one that lasts for around a year or longer, while a long-term injury is one that disables you for life. These kinds of accidents seriously impact your ability to become and stay utilized– not to mention the quality of your life.
Showing long-term and completely disabling injuries can be difficult organisation, and your injury lawyer probably will seek advice from each medical professional you have actually seen. He or she even may ask for the presence of your physician during any legal procedures.
Disputed Liability
When an insurance provider disputes its insurance policy holder's liability for the car crash, the company is essentially saying that the policyholder is not at fault (or is at least claiming you don't have enough evidence of fault) and, therefore, the insurance company is not responsible for paying for your damages.
An accident lawyer in Sly Park Hills Pollock Pines CA will help you offer this evidence and reveal that the other celebration was undoubtedly at fault.
Refusal to Pay
Refusal to pay (which can however does not always stem from a disputed liability) or refusal to pay a reasonable amount is when an insurance provider outright won't make a reasonable settlement deal– or any offer at all.
Tips for Employing an Accident Legal Representative
Because of possible situations such as statutes of limitations (which can vary by state), it's important to work with an injury lawyer and get the claims process going as quickly as possible; nevertheless, you do not want to work with the first lawyer for whom you see a signboard on the highway.
Think about these pointers as you look for the right accident lawyer.
Injury Focus
Just as there are various physicians who concentrate on several areas of medicine, there is a wide range of legal representatives from which to choose.
As you choose your accident attorney, ensure he or she focuses on injury accidents.
Evaluate your comfort level with the attorney.
You can start determining your convenience level from the beginning (for example, how do you feel about the attorney's success rate with car accident cases?) and continue beyond the time you employ them.
In some cases, assessing your comfort level can avoid you from employing a personal injury lawyer who isn't really well matched for your case; other times, it may persuade you it's time to change course with a brand-new attorney.
Just keep in mind, you suffered injury near Sly Park Hills Pollock Pines and monetary loss due to a car crash you believe somebody else triggered. Utilize these ideas– and trust your gut– as you search for the right accident lawyer.

Mark Wilson / Getty Images History & Culture American History US Presidents Basics Important Historical Figures Timelines & Key Events Native American History American Revolution Civil War America Moves Westward The Gilded Age Crimes & Disasters The Most Important Inventions of the Industrial Revolution African American History African History Ancient History & Culture Asian History European History Family History & Genealogy Inventions Latin American History Medieval & Renaissance History Military History The 20th Century Women's History View More by Robert Longley Robert Longley is a U.S. government and history expert with over 30 years of experience in municipal government. He has written for ThoughtCo since 1997. Updated November 05, 2017 The line item veto is exactly what you might do when your grocery tab runs to $20.00, but you only have $15.00 on you. Instead of adding to your total debt by paying with a credit card, you put back $5.00 worth of items you don't really need. The line item veto — the power to not buy unneeded items — is a power U.S. presidents have long wanted but have just as long been denied. The line-item veto, sometimes called the partial veto, is a type of veto that would give the President of the United States the power to cancel an individual provision or provisions - line-items - in spending, or "appropriations" bills, without vetoing the entire bill. Like traditional presidential vetoes, a line-item veto could be overridden by Congress. Line Item Veto Pros and Cons Proponents of the line-item veto argue that it would allow the president to cut wasteful "pork barrel" or earmark spending from the federal budget.Opponents argue that it would continue a trend of increasing the power of the executive branch of government at the expense of the legislative branch. Opponents also argue, and the Supreme Court has agreed, that the line-item veto is unconstitutional. In addition, they say it would not reduce wasteful spending and could even make it worse. History of the Line-Item Veto Virtually every president since Ulysses S. Grant has asked Congress for line-veto power. President Clinton actually got, but did not keep it long.On April 9, 1996, former President Bill Clinton signed the 1996 Line Item Veto Act, which had been championed through Congress by Senators Bob Dole (R-Kansas), and John McCain (R-Arizona), with the support of several Democrats. On August 11, 1997, President Clinton used the line-item veto for the first time to cut three measures from an expansive spending and taxation bill. At the bill's signing ceremony, Clinton declared the selective veto a cost-cutting breakthrough and a victory over Washington lobbyists and special interest groups. "From now on, presidents will be able to say 'no' to wasteful spending or tax loopholes, even as they say 'yes' to vital legislation," said President Clinton.But, "from now on" wasn't for long at all. Clinton used the line-item veto two more times in 1997, cutting one measure from the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 and two provisions of the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. Almost immediately, groups aggrieved by the action, including the City of New York, challenged the line-item veto law in court.On February 12, 1998, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia declared the 1996 Line Item Veto Act unconstitutional, and the Clinton administration appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.In a 6-3 ruling issued on June 25, 1998, the Supreme Court, in the case of Clinton v. City of New York upheld the District Court's decision, overturning the 1996 Line Item Veto Act as a violation of the "Presentment Clause," (Article I, Section 7), of the U.S. Constitution.By the time the Supreme Court took the power away from him, President Clinton has used the line-item veto to cut 82 items from 11 spending bills. While Congress overrode 38 of Clinton's line-item vetoes, the Congressional Budget Office estimated the 44 line-item vetoes that stood saved the government almost $2 billion. Why is the Line-Item Veto Unconstitutional? The Constitution's Presentment Clause cited by the Supreme Court spells out the basic legislative process by declaring that any bill, before being presented to the president for his or her signature, must have been passed by both the Senate and the House.In using the line-item veto to delete individual measures, the president is actually amending bills, a legislative power granted exclusively to Congress by the Constitution.In the court's majority opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote: "there is no provision in the Constitution that authorizes the president to enact, to amend or to repeal statutes."The court also held that the line-item veto violated the principles of the "separation of powers" between the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government. (Also see: Executive Privilege Based on Separation of Powers)In his concurring opinion, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote that the "undeniable effects" of the line-item veto were to "enhance the President's power to reward one group and punish another, to help one set of taxpayers and hurt another, to favor one State and ignore another."

The Jerry Jones Dictionary:
"To fill needs"– Sign players at key position needs prior to the draft, who are recovering from major injuries and therefore come cheap. Often players 30 years old or over (considered past prime in NFL). Occasionally possess known significant character deficiencies that make other teams label them as high risk. In the view of some fans, a tactic implemented by the self indulgent owner to save money and justify an absence of a real drafting strategy.
Example: "After his major knee surgery, and since no one else would sign him, I signed the 30 year old Anthony Spencer for a fraction of what he made last season so that I can now draft yet another pass receiver, or whatever I happen to desire at the time, and not have to be bothered with drafting a real 4-3 type defensive end."
Heading into the 2014 draft in May, picking up a quality DE has been ranked as a high priority for Dallas by about any NFL draft analyst you may read. Big shoes to be filled with Ware gone to the Broncos.
But now that they have Spencer back, should Jerry consider the DE position all taken care of? While I don't see this one year deal as a bad investment, I think it would be a mistake to assume that Spencer will be all they need at DE in 2014. Having said that, it wouldn't surprise me to see Jerry not address the DE position in the draft by making a late round pick or not at all.
After all, it was Jerry who told us prior to the 2013 season that defensive line was a strength for the team with Ratliff returning from injury and Ware a sure bet to adapt to DE. How that work out for us? Turned out Ratliff wasn't ready to play and Ware never hit his stride as a DE in the 4-3 so Jerry was left signing any defensive linemen he could find. It was classic Jerry Jones and the results speak for themselves.
While many Dallas fans may feel reassured by the signing of A.S. and he is inexpensive, I don't feel so good about it and here is why I'm concerned about Spencer next season.
My Concerns with Spencer:
1. Injury & Age: In week 2, Spencer injured his left knee which caused him to miss the entire season. He finished the season with just two tackles. At 30 years old he is attempting to recover from microfracture knee surgery.
His agent said in September that he would be fully recovered by February 2014 but recently it's reported that he hopes to be available by preseason in July. He is jogging now. Some fans point out that he is rehabbing at Valley Ranch so by signing him, Jerry feels good about progress. But Spencer took a visit to the East rival Giants and Redskins who didn't offer a contract. An indication those teams didn't feel good about it.
I think the fact is at this point, no one really knows when Spencer will be able to return to action or how his knee will hold up to 16 games in the trenches as a hand on the ground DE. Playing DE is even tougher on the body than OLB and the departed Ware indicated that was indeed the case.
2. Position Change: For 6 years, Spencer has played OLB in a 3-4 defense. He had one very good season that being in 2012 a contract season. (funny how that goes right) Now he is being asked to convert to DE at 30 years old. It's fair to say that during his career, Spencer has been a more effective run defender than pass rusher. He was often criticized for a lack of sack production as he reached double digit sacks only once in his career.
Marinelli's 4-3 defense is about getting after the QB and they need a DE who can provide a significant pass rush. Playing OLB is more about playing in space while playing DE, is more about playing in the trenches. Even if Spencer's knee holds up, I'm not convinced he is an ideal fit at defensive end in this 4-3 defense. Believe it when I see it.
Final Take:
Fans can debate whether bringing Spencer back was a smart move or not and time will tell but we can all agree Dallas must get younger on their defensive line. Attempting to squeeze another year out of a banged up veteran is just the Jerry Jones "same old-same old" and as far as their defensive line goes, the future is now.
I'm convinced Jerry and Stephen need to draft a DE early like by the third round, or they may regret it.

It has been reported that Taser International's original Six-Million Dollar Man [LINK], Mr. Bernie Kerik [LINK], has been ordered to jail.
Before revoking the bail of Mr. Kerik, Judge Robinson described him as a "toxic combination of self-minded focus and arrogance, and I fear that combination leads him to believe his ends justify his means." [LINK] [LINK]
[Okay... Sorry about that. I was attempting to post this from a mobile device and frankly, I was laughing so hard that it was nearly impossible to continue typing on the little tiny keyboard. So I had to switch to a full size keyboard.]
"He sees the court's rulings as an inconvenience," Judge Robinson said, "something to be ignored, and an obstacle to be circumvented."
After the proceeding, Mr. Kerik loosened his tie and removed papers and a wallet from his pockets. He then carefully took off a chain and medallion and handed it to one of his lawyers. He was led away, not in handcuffs, by court officers.

Bernie Kerik was on the Taser Board of Directors (2002-2005). He made $6.2M through stock options. The X26 taser was introduced in mid-2003 (during Kerik's tenure at Taser).

Bankruptcy law FAQ
Filing for Bankruptcy: Choosing Between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13
Debts Relieved Though Bankruptcy
My workers compensation doctor says I can return to work, but I can't do the job. What can I do?
One of the most important rights of an injured worker in Georgia is the right to an independent medical examination. Ongoing medical treatment must be done through an "authorized treating physician", what is commonly called a company doctor. However, the injured worker can demand a one-time independent medical examination by any doctor of his/her choosing. The employer/insurer must pay for the examination and any tests the examining physician orders, within certain limits.
This right is especially helpful when the company doctor has released a worker to return to work before he/she is fully recovered, or when the company doctor refuses to give a fair permanent disability rating.
A qualified and experienced workers compensation attorney will know when to use an independent medical examination to protect your benefits and maximize your settlement. Morgan & Morgan has over 30 years experience helping injured workers get the benefits they deserve. Call us today.

Anyone who cooks a lot of food on a regular basis knows that there are usually leftovers that will need to be reheated later. This typically calls for a good microwave with a lot of features on it.
Check out the best microwave under $200 on Amazon, right here
Sometimes, finding such a microwave can present a bit of a challenge to consumers. Fortunately, in this guide, we have selected three different microwave models so that you can assess their features and find the best option for your family. If you are looking for the best microwave under 200 dollars, keep reading.
Top Microwave under $200
One of the best candidates in the running for the role of the best microwave under 200 dollars is the Panasonic Genius, aptly named for the settings and features that are incorporated into the unit. This machine has received an overall rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com, and it comes in right around the $200 price range.
There is inverter technology built into this machine, which allows you to evenly cook and defrost your foods in record time. Plus, you don't have to worry about sacrificing flavor, because the inverter technology is designed to preserve all the flavors of your food at once. This microwave operates at 1250 watts, so you know that it is strong and powerful enough to get the job done right with just one attempt at cooking.
There are a few different pre-programmed settings that you can choose from on this microwave in order to cook your foods to perfection. Of course, if you prefer, you can also use the manual time settings on this microwave. The choice is entirely yours.
Best Selling Microwave under $200
The Panasonic Genius Prestige is yet another amazing machine. This can easily be considered the best microwave under 200 dollars because it has been rated 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com, and it costs approximately $160. Not to mention, it carries all the same features as many of the other "Genius" models on the market, but there is a little bit more to it.
Once again, the inverter technology returns to help you heat or defrost your food to perfection while maintaining delicious flavors all around. The unit is also 1200 watts, so it is 50 watts less than its aforementioned counterpart, but you can adjust the power if you need to by using one of the adjustable power settings if you need to.
This microwave has a child-safety lock built into it, so there is no way that your child will be able to start opening the door and playing with the microwave. Therefore, you can always rest assured that you and your family will be safe when using this microwave. If you choose, you can bake desserts and more in this microwave, since it has a recipe memory setting, and since it is powerful enough to handle the cooking of baked goods.
Best Microwave under $150
It seems as though Panasonic is the leader when it comes to finding the best microwave under 200 dollars. The Panasonic NN-TK903S, another one of the models in the "Genius" series, seems to be even more high-performing than some of its counterparts. This microwave has been rated 4 out of 5 stars on Amazon.com, and it costs approximately $120. Not to mention, you can even purchase this machine in three different colors: black, white, or stainless steel.
That same inverter technology that was present on many of the other "Genius" models graces this machine once again, promising completely warmed-up food with high-quality flavors. The unit also operates at 1200 watts, which means that you will always get deliciously cooked food on the first attempt of heating.
There are several pre-programmed features on this machine that you can use to cook a wide array of foods, though you certainly don't have to use them. Unlike its counterparts, this microwave actually has buttons that you can press to manually set the time instead of using a dial on the front of the unit. This makes the microwave much easier to operate.

If you are trying to find the best microwave under 200 dollars, these are definitely the top three options to consider.

I came across a lattice card using the Lots of Labels Framelits on Linda Bauwin Blog - http://stampingwithlinda.typepad.com/. I thought it was such a cute idea and I had to make one. I used the Brick Wall Embossing folder as a backdrop. I used the retired Sizzlits Little Leaves and the branch from the bird punch for the little flowers to sit on. The brick wall is attached to the new Thick White Cardstock.

Tatami Fightwear is fairly new in the Jiu-Jitsu scene but you might not know it. They have been busy making quality, yet affordable gear since 2009 and are based in the UK. One of the things I admire about Tatami Fightwear is that they make some very high quality gear at a reasonable price. I was very fortunate to receive a Tatami Estilo 3.0 from Martial Arts Supplies http://www.martialartssupplies.com/ and couldn't wait to test it out. I would like to point out that Martial Arts Supplies has a bevy of Jiu-Jitsu gear ranging from kimonos, shorts, rash guards, to pretty much anything you could imagine. On top of that they offer free shipping and hassle free returns. Something worth noting is that Martial Arts Supplies will allow you to mix and match the jacket and pants sizes in case you don't fit the standard sizing chart with Tatami gi's for no additional charge.
If you like a little bit of bling than I think you will probably enjoy the Estilo 3.0. This gi has black contrast stitching and embroidery throughout. It sports traditional patches along the shoulders and lapel. I like that the shoulder patches in the form of a black belt with "3.0" integrated onto the red competition bar. The bottom of the jacket also has a Tatami patch to add some additional flair. Each sleeve features Estilo logos embroidered in black along with Tatami Fightwear embroidered directly behind the collar on the back of the jacket. The cuffs of the jacket, inner portion of lapels, and cuffs of the pants have Estilo taping in black which looks good. The pants match the jacket well with the contrast stitching, patches, and embroidery on each leg.
This gi seems to be built very well. The jacket is a 550gsm single piece pearl weave. It features a rubberized collar that is adequately thick. The jacket and pants both have triple stitching in high stress areas such as the crotch and knee pads. The pants consist of 14oz heavy cotton with a four loop enclosure system for the drawstring. The traditional stretchy drawstring is present here. While I do like the stretchy feeling of the drawstring it could be a bit shorter and almost requires a triple knot to keep it out of the way. Nothing a pair of shears and lighter can't fix. The knee pads are reinforced to give some extra cushion and add some durability. There are few spots on the pants where the stitching is not perfect but nothing that looks unacceptable or might become problematic. This gi weighs in at about 4.4lbs.
|Note some minor flaws in stitching
One thing I really like about the Tatami Fightwear website is that they offer an interactive sizing chart. You can simply select your height and weight using their gi size calculator and it will select the appropriate size for you. Being UK based, they were kind enough to provide both metric and standard units of measure for us Yankees here in the States. If you have any concerns about sizing I highly recommend checking out the sizing calculator here: https://www.tatamifightwear.com/size-calculator-a/272.htm
The gi used in this review is an A1 and retails for $129.99 at http://www.martialartssupplies.com. One thing I have noticed with Tatami gi's is that the sleeves do tend to run a bit longer than most other gi's. Out of the package this kimono fit very well. There is plenty of intentional shrinking that can be done in my case but not much is required to get this closer to a tailored fit. The jacket is roomy for those with bigger torso's but not so much that I am swimming in it. Sleeve length is just a hair long but nothing that can't be fixed in the washing machine and dryer. The skirt length is perfect...not too long nor short. I really like the fit of the pants. They provide plenty of room in the crotch and aren't overly baggy. Pants that are too baggy are one of my biggest pet peeves. The length of the pant legs is adequate and required very little shrinking in the wash. As a reminder, MAS will allow you to mix and match jacket and pant sizes if you find that the standard A1 pants fit but need a larger jacket such as an A2 for example.
Before training in this gi I did wash it and intentionally shrink it some. I never shrink a gi too aggressively the first time out. I prefer to shrink it just a bit, roll in it, and evaluate how it feels and go from there. First time out I did feel like it would need some more work as the sleeves were a tad long and easily manipulated while rolling. A second trip through the wash and I feel much closer now. The pants are perfect at this point but the jacket will require a bit more shrinking. I absolutely enjoy training in this gi. It provides the perfect balance between a light and heavier gi. The gi is quite sturdy but feels like it can take plenty of punishment. The pants feel super light but not flimsy by any stretch of the imagination. The support in the knee pads is very welcome too. This gi will definitely be in the regular rotation and can be a great every day gi to train or compete in.
As previously mentioned the gi used in this review is an A1. I did run this one through the washer and dryer (medium heat) twice with the intention of shrinking it a bit. I experienced a little more shrinkage in the pants than the jacket and will probably be okay to run the jacket through the dryer a couple more times.
Closing Thoughts
This is my second Tatami gi and they have really delivered with the Estilo 3.0. They have managed to design a gi that looks good, provides a little flash with well placed patches and stitching, is priced very reasonably, and performs well. It seems like there are so many choices for gi's and so few of them really deliver the quality for the money. I don't think you can go wrong with Tatami Fightwear if you are looking for a great gi without spending $200.
Once again, I want to thank Martial Arts Supplies for providing a great gi for me to review. Please give them a look for your next BJJ related purchases. They have a great selection of gi's, lots of other grappling related equipment, and offer FREE SHIPPING.
A big thank you to Shervin Alavi for taking pictures of me in the gi.

An email titled "Request from the website" so that's an obvious fake.
The email sender's address is ulunomiyzm @rxfnbkbbiwo.com so that's obviously a fake email address that only a scammer would choose.
The email then claims to be from Sandra.
"Message: Did you just create your Facebook page? Do you want your page to look more established? I found a service that can send you organic and 100% real likes and followers to your social pages…"
Organic means no advertising or redirects etc involved – just people finding the website without being pushed to it.
So it's not possible for someone to have a service to do this as that would by definition not be organic.
It promises that no-one will suspect you bought the visitors, likes and followers.
Dreadfully stupid.

16 Jul Buckwheat Milk
Posted at 11:18h in Non classé 0 Comments
Buckwheat milk is also something very easy to do and can save you a few euros from buying vegan milks from the store. Another advantage when you make your own milk is you get to set the sweetness. I find commercial products way to sweet sometimes.
- The trick here is to boil the buckwheat at a ratio of 1 cup buckwheat to 2.5 cups water.
- Once it's absorbed it will thicken up. Let it cool down for at least 1 hour (or even overnight).
- Put it in a blender and add another 2 or 3 cups of water.
- A spoonful of tahini (if the tahini is wholegrain then add a bit less because it can get bitter). The tahini will give the mix some body. Add in some sweetener like brown sugar, coco sugar or stevia. Optional – Few vanilla drops for aroma.
- You then blend all that together until it's one homogenous mix. It's normal that at the bottom the grains will set. You can leave it or strain it out. If you strain you can use it in your yogurt or ice cream.
Add some carob syrup (available in our catalog) in your buckwheat milk and let it freeze overnight to make popsicles!

I know it's only Sunday and I'm a day ahead, but my first Made 4 Math Monday! Hooray!!!
I decided this year that I will be switching to Standards Based/Mastery Grading. I think this will really help my students be more successful, and hopefully I will see a lot less "D's" and a lot more "C's" and "B's."
Homework: I am only checking homework for completion this year. Last year I kind of went back and forth between collecting, checking off on a checklist, checking for accuracy, and just checking completion. This year, I am just walking around with a clip board, stamping with my cool "completed on time" stamp I ordered from Vista Print, and calling it a day. I can't get around giving a homework grade, so it will just be the percentage of homework they completed. Since I'm using math workshop, I am not going to spit out the answers to them. Already this last week they got into the habit of checking their answers with their neighbor's answers and discussing them to determine which is correct and which is incorrect. Any big disputes we do on the board.
Warm-Ups: Again, I'm not collecting these. Warm-ups I believe are more for their benefit. I may change my mind and start collecting again mid-year, but for now, it is just on the board, they complete, discuss with their table, and we go over any that have major disputes.
Classwork: I will pick and choose what I collect here. Since we are 1:1 with iPads, my kids are going to be developing Pod/Vodcasts and Educreations videos that I am going to compile and post on my site (possibly make an iBook out of them too, I haven't decided). Those will be graded. With math workshop being so group-oriented, I think that it is better to focus on the how and why, the thought processes, and working as a team.
Quizzes: I sat down a few weeks ago and broke down everything I'm teaching this year into an original 120 sub-tasks. When I put these into units, it was too much, so I combined some and got down to 95. I then made this awesome spread sheet for each unit that you can download in my brand new TpT store! WOO! They will keep them in those folders with the metal prongs on their bookshelves with their ISN's.
Each unit has one page with the corresponding task. They will rate it date it when we begin the unit and graph it at that time. We will take a quiz every 3-5 tasks on average (some units are only 4-5 tasks). They will then rate and date again. I will let them retake the quiz ONE TIME and ONLY if they have 80% homework completion. They will have to fill out a Google Form to do this. I'll link that when I have it up and running. They have to prove that they have done something to improve their learning to retake. I like that the graph is evolving, so it is showing "this is what I can do now." The last column with a date and score is for when we test, just to be sure they are at the same level.
Tests: As usual, we will have a unit test. They will rate and date each one after the test.
I'm thinking that as far as my grade book goes, a 4=100%, 3.5=95%, 3=92%, 2.5=89%, 2=84% , 1.5=80%, 1=76% , 0.5=70%, and a 0 is a 69% (we are on a 7 point grading scale).
I like that they will get a grade per task rather than one grade per quiz. I really hope that I'm right and this will help them. As far as the rubric, I am using Miss Calculate's holistic Star Wars grading rubric.
That's all for now!

At the heart of peace is harmony. To be at peace with someone--whether a neighbor, a family member, or God-- is to be in a harmonious relationship with them. When we ask Christ to cleanse us of our sin and make us new creations, we are asking for peace, a new harmonious relationship with our Creator.
How do we make peace with others?
Working hard at ridding sin from our own lives while diligently building others up helps achieve peace.
Seek the unity that comes from the Holy Spirit.
If you harbor feelings of revenge in your heart, you cannot be at peace with others.
Commit yourself to the good deeds that are the mark of a true peacemaker.

HESPERIA � Conventional wisdom says playing with the wind is an advantage in soccer. So much for conventional wisdom.
The Sultana girls scored all of their goals in first half going against the wind and beat Palm Springs 3-2 on Friday in the first round of the CIF-Southern Section Division 4 playoffs.
"The first half, against the wind, we played really well," Sultana coach Danny Polmounter said. "The second half, we were on our heels a lot. We really didn't settle the ball down like we needed to."
Kelley Keyes had two goals for the Sultans, and Britney Roberts also scored. Brianna Gonzalez had all three assists. Goalie Vaitea Tahauri made four saves.
Palm Springs' Sarah Dryden scored 46 goals in 23 matches during the regular season, but was held scoreless on Friday.
"Mayra Diaz always gets the task of guarding the best forward," Polmounter said. "She was all over (Dryden) and shut her down completely."
Sultana (21-4-3) will be looking for some revenge in Wednesday's second round when it plays at Silverado. The Hawks knocked the Sultans out of the playoffs in the first round two years ago.
"We were the No. 2 seed and they beat us," Polmounter said. "There are a lot of girls on this team who were on that team, so they remember."

Jamie's Italian Yorkdale restaurant opened sometime last year in December and I had heard lots about it seeing as it was chef Jamie Oliver's very first restaurant in Canada and North America. Jamie Oliver opened it in conjunction with the chef, Francesco Venditti, of Bar Buca at Yorkdale Shopping Centre. Needless to say, I was very excited to try this celebrity chef's restaurant! 😀
Ken made reservations here on a 6 p.m. on a Sunday night with no issues — we had heard of people not being able to get a table due to the restaurant's popularity, thus it felt great that we got a table so easily. 😀 We actually arrived before our booked time of 6 p.m. to eat since we were both starving (the restaurant is located outside of the mall — you can't miss it). There weren't many people here at this time yet and we were led by one of the hostesses to a booth near the belly of the restaurant. We could see the open kitchen to our side and it was fun during the night to watch the chefs flip the pizzas in their hands every so often — table-side entertainment. 😀
Seeing as both their pasta and pizza dishes were made fresh every day, we opted to try one of each, an appetizer, and some white wine to go with it. Our server was very friendly and attentive throughout the night and recommended a really great Chardonnay to go with our food. I really liked how the restaurant was casual yet chic and very comfortable to dine in. It wasn't too loud either and it was well lit inside.
Our Chardonnay arrived almost right away. This Chardonnay, a 2014 Pojer E Sandri, was from Trentino, Italy and boasted of citrus and quince flavours with just a hint of oak. It was actually really, really good. It was just sweet enough and the taste was really nice. I'm not a wine connoisseur and can't really describe wine well but I know that I really enjoyed this one. It went very well with our dishes that night. 😀
The appetizer arrived very quickly too. We ordered the Mushroom Fritti which were herby breadcrumbed portobello mushrooms with garlic mayo. These were really nicely seasoned and then fried. Its texture and look reminded me of chicken wings or something meaty but these were vegetarian-friendly. The portobello mushrooms were really plump and meaty. I loved this appetizer. 🙂
After we were finished the appetizer, our mains arrived shortly. The Parma pizza was a classic Margherita pizza (crushed potatoes, basil, fior di latte, with extra virgin olive oil) topped with prosciutto, arugula, and Parmigiano Reggiano (hard, granular cheese). This was really, really good! The pizza was thin crust and it was so thin that when you held it up, it was like holding a cracker. The ingredients just melded together so well and it was really delicious. The prosciutto was really good — sliced thiny, too! I could have eaten another half of this pizza if there were more. XD
The pasta dish, Porcini Fettuccine, had wild and field mushrooms, mascarpone, garlic, white wine, lemony gremolata, pangrattato, and Parmigiano Reggiano. I liked the sauce in this one and even though I'm not a huge fettuccine fan, this one tasted great. I also liked the breadcrumbs that were placed on the spoon for you to sprinkle on the dish. Ken really liked the simplistic taste of this pasta dish.
We finished off with a dessert. We ordered the Orange Blossom Polenta Cake which was served with whipped crème fraîche, fresh orange, and pomegranate. This dessert was a bigger portion than I expected and it was also really good. The polenta cake didn't taste like polenta too much but it was a dense cake that went well with the whipped crème fraîche, sweet fresh orange slices, and crunchy and fresh pomegranate seeds. Overall, it was a really good dessert to finish off our remaining Chardonnay wine too. XD
I can see why Jamie's Italian restaurant is so hyped about now after having dined there. The food really was good! I wouldn't hesitate to return again and try their other dishes. It was after our visit that I noticed somewhere online that they served polenta chips! I didn't realize that these were the much-talked about polenta fries that were supposedly really good. I think we need to go back and try these. 😀

School Matinee Program
Every year the PAC hosts thousands of local students for professional, educational and extremely fun live-arts performances through the School Matinee Program. Starting in 2014 and thanks in large part to the Foundation's generous members and the Harold J. Miossi Charitable Trust, nearly 6,000 students attended an SMP performance for free. Every year since, the program has expanded to accommodate the growing needs of the San Luis Obispo K-12 community.
The 2017-18 season will see 10,000 students from 80 schools attending one of twelve performances at the PAC. 100% of admission costs are covered for all students, teachers and chaperones who attend.
An elementary school teacher from Carissa Plains who took her class to a School Matinee Performance recently wrote to us that:
"Our students live an hour from the nearest town, and very few have opportunities to experience any cultural activities. These matinee performances are so beneficial to them and give them an opportunity to experience learning and life outside of the classroom and their own homes."
Did you know? 85% of a school district's funding are used on salaries and benefits for teachers leaving little room for investments in arts education programs (see breakdown here). With the likelihood of more budget cuts largely affecting public schools, teachers are going to struggle to supplement their student's curriculum with a quality arts education and will need programs like the School Matinee Program more than ever.
Recent studies show that students with access to the arts perform better on standardized testing, have higher attendance rates, and are more likely to attend and graduate from university. A study by Johns Hopkins University in 2009 entitled "Neuroeducation: Learning, Arts, and the Brain" found significant correlation between arts education and improvements in a child's cognition, attention, and learning. The data is in: the arts matter.

On Monday we packed up the van again, and headed for Epcot. Thinking that if we left late in the afternoon, it wouldn't be so hot.
We were erroneous.
Since it was a school day, we deemed the trip educational and decided we'd walk "around the world" of the world showcase, and visit each and every flippin' country.
With one detour.
Emme and I trotted over to Test Track to net some Fast Passes. Which were all gone by that time of the day. So Emme talked me into riding Mission Space with her. Which only had a 5 minute wait. On the "orange" side.
Let me educate you about Mission Space. This is a ride which opened 6 years ago or so. It simulates what an astronaut might feel whilst blasting off into space. This affect is achieved by the rider being strapped into a claustrophobically tiny space, with a screen placed directly in front of their face. The screen shows what it would look like while being hurtled into the vast unknown. And because of the extreme spinning that the rider endures, the centrifugal force gives the person a very realistic experience.
I rode this ride when it first opened. Discovering quickly that I am both claustrophobic and prone to motion sickness.
I vowed never ever to do that to myself again.
Other park goers evidently felt the same way, and actually died immediately after experiencing Mission Space.
So Disney created a gentler more user friendly form of the ride, know as the "green" team. Which involves the notable absence of spinning. I like the "green" team. And have actually enjoyed it with my entire family. But really, I think that the "green" team label should have been affixed to the vomit comet side of the ride. Which is now known as the "orange team". But, whatever.
Evidently, time and childbirth must have caused more brain cells to die an early and unnatural death than I had suspected, because I agreed to ride the "orange team" side of the ride with Emme.
A tactical error on my part. I silently made out my will while my life flashed before bloodshot eyes during the blastoff portion of the ride. We had been warned beforehand not to look to the right or the left, and certainly NOT to close our eyes, but rather stay focused on the screen before us. So as to not become disoriented.
This was an impossibility since my eyes had long since rolled to the back of my head.
When the ride mercifully came to an end, I quickly grabbed a complimentary barf bag, which were handily attached to the bar in front of me. I exited the ride and headed straight for the nearest bench, with Emme hot on my heals, "Mommy, are you okay? Mommy? Mommy? Mommy?"
When I felt like I would indeed live, I called Fiddledaddy and he told me that they were in Mexico. Where it was decided that we would eat dinner.
I love eating in Mexico, and surprisingly the faux cheese products actually helped my condition. But it was the bite of Churro that I wrestled away from the children that really put the spring back in my step.
I'm happy to tell you that we made it all the way around the world without incident, and left just as the fireworks were underway. The ride home was fraught with the frettings of bored and tired children.
In a moment of brilliance, Fiddledaddy handed his iPhone to the children, since he had the foresight to download games that would appeal to the offspring.
As opposed to me, who only has Scrabble on my phone. (Insert maniacal laughter.) The children are not fond of Scrabble. I got to hang on to my phone.
Jensen, who was sitting in the back in the dark, was mesmerized with the Water Slide game on his Dad's iPhone. It simulates your POV (fancy shortened lingo for point of view) as though you are sliding down the slide yourself.
As we pulled into our driveway, Jensen announced that his tummy hurt. Which is not unusual. As a hurting tummy will generally delay the going to bed routine.
We made it just past the threshold of our home, when Jensen began hurling. There was no escape.
It is not a secret that whenever vomit enters the fray*, I'm the first one to exit the building. But I was trapped. And did I mention that Jensen consumed a good deal of groceries on the way home?
I held him on the cheap linoleum to minimize the carnage, and I thought I was doing a pretty good job keeping my act together. Until Jensen looked down at his own vomit and said, "Oooohhh. Gummies!" And I don't mean like, ooohhh gummies, gross, I mean he was leaning towards them ready to go for it.
That's when the room started spinning. Fiddledaddy quickly scooped Jensen up and headed toward the bath, leaving me with the clean up.
Another tactical error.
While I was attempting to rid the linoleum of the considerable mess, I began retching. Prompting Cailey to poke her head around the corner asking, "Mommy, why do you keep saying THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS, THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS, over and over?"
Later, after going over the events of the day, we determined that Jensen has inherited my vertigo. Cailey we already know leans toward car sickness, so Emme's list of candidates to ride the "orange team" is dwindling by the minute.
I look forward with great anticipation to a visit to the Magic Kingdom to celebrate Cailey's birthday next week. And I know of at least 2 members of my entourage that will take a pass on the Teacup ride.
*The term "whenever vomit enters the fray" is a beloved term that I often use, and was originally coined by BooMama.

A Homeschool Cooperative is a cooperative of families who homeschool their children. It provides an opportunity for children to learn from other parents who are more specialized in certain areas or subjects. Co-ops also provide social interaction for homeschooled children. They may take lessons together or go on field trips. Some co-ops also offer events such as prom and graduation for homeschoolers.
Homeschoolers are beginning to utilize Web 2.0 as a way to simulate homeschool cooperatives online. With social networks homeschoolers can chat, discuss threads in forums, share information and tips, and even participate in online classes via blackboard systems similar to those used by colleges.

One day, when I am old and walking around with a –curved at the top- stick, with a cool reputation for a storyteller, when I have a white beard covering my face and my scalp sticking above what's left of my hair, when I have moved into my retirement home in a far-flung place, like Kisaju, when I am standing at the door leading to the backyard of the quarter acre plot, overlooking my fish pond and sugarcane trees, when my kids and their kids have come to visit, and my kids' offspring are running around waving their Ipads in the air, I will call them next to the fish pond where I will sit on a stool and make them gather around like it's a political rally.
And then I will start telling them stories about growing up in the east, the far east of Nairobi.
In every neighborhood, there was always that one guy who dictated how your day would turn out; he was the bearer of the key to the doors of fun. He held a certain power within him and you all made sure he was happy; you treated him right because he was the one with the football, or the bicycle, or both. If he happened to be elsewhere but home that day, you would all sit under the sun and watch cars pass by. If word went round that he was home and didn't feel like coming out to play you all went to knock on his gate, to plead with him to give you the ball but he remained adamant because his mother had a golden rule: wherever the ball was, he should be there with it. So the match often halted when this jamaa was called into the digs for porridge at 4 p.m. "Wasee nimeitwa." And that was it folks, the fat lady had done her number.
If all else failed, there was the marble champion, msee wa banoh. This one had a plastic tin full of them, these marbles. But he treasured just one, the metallic one because it was his secret weapon when you were playing: and listen to how creative we were, 'cracky no payings.' This meant that he could scour your glass banoh with his and not have to pay a cent, and if he happened to dent your banoh and you would look at him with puppy dog eyes, telling him that Mungu anakuona, he would stand by the commandment, with no regard that you didn't have a bob to buy another one, with no mercy. No payings.
We raced bicycles, we stole lugwats, we played hide and seek in the dark, and we lit firecrackers and slid them into old people's homes. We persuaded girls to hug us; those who succeeded became gods. (It goes without saying that yours truly was in this category) There was also that branch at the top of the tree, the one that hung loosely in the air. The first one to get to it during the tree climbing competition would get ultimate bragging rights, of the strongest in the herd, of being the most fearless, of getting the girl when it was all over. (It goes without saying that yours truly was the referee at such an event) That, my friends, is how legends were born.
And then time walked in. Time came, stirred every one of those moments and dissolved them into a thin film of distant memories. Technology came, drugs came, and puberty came. Girls blossomed into beautiful beings with curves housing striking dhighs; boys grew beards and developed deep voices. (Again, yours truly does not fall here) Some of us took alcohol, some went for pot, others went for both, and some lost their marbles within it all. Hehe.
Forgive me if it gets a bit didactic from now on.
So you're having lunch at a decent place with friends, those joints where you prefer your fries soaked in watery chilly and vinegar along with a Coke. And then football comes up. Who can beat who at the sport. But because this is 2015 this dispute can be settled over a game of Fifa. So you ask who's digs this head to head will go down, and you are laughed at, because you are naive and don't know that there are arcades now. You're reluctant to go because you hold a disdain for places thronged with people bursting with youth but you go to make these chaps at the table take their seats.
It's an underground area. You are met with the ghastly scene of sweaty foreheads glowing from neon lights hanging above. The air is dense. It tastes like salt and raging hormones. You sit at a couch and watch these kids while away time, a group of boys with a bird or two tagging along. The girls sit and watch the gaming, bored out of their wits. You can see that she wants to get this show on the road, she badly needs a drink. So you follow these cats to find out where they get their poison.
They slip into those dark isolated bars in the middle of town. Also underground, lurking behind the shadows of M-pesa shops. The establishment will not want to know if you are a day older than sixteen or serve their drinks with a proper glass. And that is how you know that drinking has gone to the dogs.The glass just has to be there, sometimes it's all about the glass. So now you're seated in a dark corner, you watch them get drunk, followed by the talking in low volumes, followed by the entanglement of lips. These ones are really kissing, and not like that kissing that you watch on movies, no. They are going for the jugular with their tongues here. And then after all is dried up they leave, they'll come back tomorrow and do it all over again, never mind that it's a Tuesday.
As you drive home, you start to think about life and how time gets in the middle of things, how it changes things. You think about what can be done to cure this insanity, and then you see this scene here, and you decide not give a crap because they don't pay you enough for this shit. Mungu anatuona.
