A criminal conviction can lead to a number of consequences, including incarceration, community service, probation, and fines. Many defendants are surprised to learn that they will also be ordered to pay restitution after a conviction. What is restitution? When will you have to pay it? Here's what you need to know:
What is Restitution?
Restitution is money that defendants must pay to victims in order to compensate them for any losses they experienced as a result of the defendant's crime.
When Are Defendants Ordered to Pay Restitution?
Restitution is one of many consequences that a judge considers when deciding how to sentence a defendant for his crimes. However, not all defendants will be ordered to pay restitution. Defendants are only ordered to pay restitution when the losses the victim has suffered are directly related to the crime that was committed.
For example, a defendant who is convicted of theft will most likely be ordered to compensate the victim for the items that were stolen. The amount that the defendant is ordered to pay will typically be the value of the stolen property.
However, crime victims must file a Victim Impact Statement with the District Attorney's office in order to ask the court for restitution. In this statement, the victim is required to show proof of the losses he has suffered. If this statement is not filed, he is not entitled to restitution.
What If A Defendant Cannot Afford to Pay Restitution?
You will not be required to pay the restitution all at once. The court will create a payment schedule for the defendant that outlines how much needs to be paid and when it should be paid. All payments will be made to the court, which will then process the payment and send it to the victim.
If you miss any payments, the court has the authority to collect the money in other ways. For instance, the judge can issue a wage garnishment order, which means a portion of each of your paychecks will be sent directly to the court. A judge can also intercept tax refunds or put a lien on your property. In some cases, the court may decide to revoke your probation or suspend your driver's license as punishment for missing restitution payments. To avoid these penalties, it's important to stay on schedule and make all required payments.
Restitution is just one of the many consequences of a criminal conviction that can affect your future.

Antonin Dvorak: Carnival Overture, Op. 92
From the first, Antonin Dvorák was always a strong advocate for his native Czech folk music. He even insisted to his German publisher (who granted him a contract at the urging of fellow composer Johannes Brahms) that the Czech titles for his works be printed on the covers of his works. By the time he reached his 50th year, in 1891, he was teaching composition at the Prague Conservatory of Music, demonstrating to his students how one could deftly set folk themes in classical forms. His Symphony No. 8 and Requiem recently completed, Dvorák began at this time to write shorter orchestral works in the form of overtures and tone poems. Carnival is the center of a triptych of overtures composed on the themes of "Nature, Life, and Love." He began writing the first piece, In Nature's Realm, in March 1891; Carnival followed, depicting life, and Othello, representing love, was completed in January, 1892. Dvorák conducted the overtures at their premiere in Prague on April 28, 1892, at a concert that became his farewell appearance before took the directorship of the new National Conservatory of Music in New York. The three pieces were also performed as his welcome to the U.S. at a concert in Carnegie Hall later that October. According to the composer's own program note, Carnival depicts "a lonely, contemplative wanderer reach[ing] at twilight a city where a festival is in full swing. On every side is heard the clangor of instruments, mingled with shouts of joy and the unrestrained hilarity of people giving vent to their feelings in songs and dances." The ebullient opening section with its rapid tempos and 'clangorous' percussion leads to a slower Andantino section, featuring a solo ostinato by English horn. The English horn is soon joined by flute to represent, as Dvorák wrote, "a pair of straying lovers." The festive motifs return and the overture ends with a breathless, brilliant coda.

Superman #146 (1961)
Okay, I get that this isn't for the benefit of Pa Kent but for the reader, but it is still really bizarre – if we didn't have the small Clark in corner gleefully pointing out the diagrams it would be less like "hey dad, check out this sweet poster I made!" Do modern Superman stories use powerpoint to explain things? Does this compromise his secret identity? I mean, if someone found these posters he'd have a lot of explaining to do.
Superman #149 (1961)
This whole story is really strange in every way, but I'm just going to focus on how Superman chooses to use his Fortress of Solitude. Again, I don't know what modern Superman does, but this iteration uses it to be a full scale creeper.
Okay, I'm getting a little off track here, but his hoarder zoo is really what drew my attention on these pages. He has all these weird contingencies in case of his death for Jimmy to get a car and Lois to get a pearl necklace, but what about these animals? Is there a care manual for them, or would they just starve until someone finds the cave? And even if they found the cave, these are alien creatures, so would they even know how to take care of them?
Speaking of, in issue #146 Jor-el tests his rocket with Krypto which was also strange. Rockets CAN be tested without creatures in them, Jor-el. But how does Krypto not starve after 20 years floating in space alone? And how can Superman speak the language of Krypton?? Was he just an especially fluent toddler?
Okay, Superman is giving me a Super Headache. Time for a break and see you next time!

The Sports Xchange
By David Driver, The Sports Xchange
Werth, Strasburg lead Nationals to victory
WASHINGTON -- Jayson Werth put in some in extra time after Monday's game watching film with his hitting coach.
And that paid off for Werth on Tuesday, as he had two hits and three RBIs, and pitcher Stephen Strasburg allowed just one run as the Washington Nationals beat the fading Colorado Rockies 7-1 in the middle game of a three-game set.
Werth, the Nationals' right fielder, entered the game hitting .135 in his last 13 games, but he had an RBI double in the first and a two-run double in the fourth. He also walked twice.
"I was here last night watching video with Rick Schu. We made a minor adjustment," said Werth. "I'm a feel guy. I go on feel. Hopefully that will help get me going. I felt good. It is not for a lack of effort" that caused him to struggle recently.
Strasburg (7-6) gave up one run and five hits with eight strikeouts in 7 2/3 innings as the Nationals won their fourth game in a row. Second baseman DJ LeMahieu broke up the shutout bid with a long solo homer in the eighth to make it 7-1.
"I just tried to execute my pitches better," said Strasburg, who had allowed 17 hits in his previous two starts. "I wanted to go out there and trust my stuff. I wanted to keep the ball down a little bit better."
"Everyone has a bad outing over the course of the year," added Strasburg, who gave up eight hits and seven runs in his last start, on Wednesday at Milwaukee.
Strasburg also had success as a hitter and fielder. He doubled and scored in the fourth, had a sacrifice bunt in the fifth, helped complete a 3-6-1 double play in the sixth and walked in the seventh. Reliever Craig Stammen got the last four outs for the Nationals.
Since winning five games in a row through June 15, the Rockies have now lost 13 of their last 15 games. Colorado began July with a lopsided loss after going 8-20 in June with a team ERA of 6.48.
"It is up to us to turn it around," said manager Walt Weiss. "We got down early and we made it tough."
Colorado starter Christian Friedrich (0-3) lost his third straight start since he was called up from Triple-A, where he had an ERA of 7.89 in 13 games.
"We are not going to make any decisions right now," Weiss said of Friedrich's spot in the rotation. "A lot of deep counts. That made it tough."
Washington left fielder Bryce Harper, in his second game since coming off the disabled list, was 1-for-5 with three strikeouts a day after he suggested he should be playing center field.
Starting third baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who played first later in the game, added two hits for Washington.
Rockies' catcher Wilin Rosario had singles in his first two at bats against Strasburg.
Nationals second baseman Anthony Rendon hit a two-run double, and Werth drove in the third run of the fourth inning with a double to make it 6-0. The Nationals increased the margin to 7-0 when Werth scored on a second wild pitch of the inning by reliever Chad Bettis as the game turned into a laugher.
The Nationals jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first on a two-run double by Werth and a sacrifice fly by Zimmerman.
Friedrich gave up five runs in 3 1/3 innings before Bettis took over. Friedrich's ERA rose from 8.10 to 9.45.
Strasburg had an adventurous tour around the bases in the fourth. First, he hit a sinking liner that right fielder Brandon Barnes dived for and missed. Strasburg settled for a double, though he started for third. The pitcher then went to third on a single by center fielder Denard Span but did not try to advance on a wild pitch by Bettis as Span went to second. Strasburg scored easily on the double to left by Rendon.
"It was a little foreign to me," Strasburg said of being on base this year. He is hitting .094 but his ERA fell to 3.53.
NOTES: Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki was not in the starting lineup as part of a night off, according to manager Walt Weiss. ... Washington RHP Doug Fister (6-2, 2.83) and Colorado LHP Tyler Matzek (1-2, 4.24) are the scheduled starters for the series finale Wednesday. ... Weiss said that LHP Franklin Morales (4-4, 5.75) would start Thursday at Los Angeles against the Dodgers after RHP Jhoulys Chacin (right shoulder inflammation) went on the disabled list Monday. The versatile Morales did not allow a run in his first five outings out of the bullpen this year. He also has made 11 starts.

INTERVIEW | Azzedine Alaïa
"The starting point is always the woman, the body you're dressing... I've never thought and I don't think of being fashion or revolutionary. I don't reason by thinking of creating something which is purely Alaïa. I never think of myself as a designer or a couturier. I admire women; I love them because it's thanks to them that I did and still can do what I love. I'm not interested in the noise around fashion. When I make dresses for women, for my girlfriends, and see that I'm making them beautiful and happy, I am happy as well, incredibly happy."
Azzedine Alaïa, picture by Valerio Mezzanotti for MFF Magazine.
This simple thought is Azzedine Alaïa's, master of seduction, sculptor of the feminine body, prophet of contemporary femininity, and couturier "sui generis." Back under the fashion system's spotlight during the latest Paris fashion week, he brought his couture on the catwalk after six years of absence from the official schedule. Naomi Campbell, who calls him dad, opened the show. Because the world of the Tunisian creative talent is full of special, iconic women. From Grace Jones to Beyoncé and Greta Garbo, for whom he made one of his first creations. Curious of the world and in love with women, thanks to his sculpture studies he worked on the woman's body to define a new language of sexiness. "There are parts of the body that it's nice to show and reveal... Even when you create a dress with a zip, the zip needs to open on a side of the body that is nice to show, a special one." Tireless worker, tailor more than designer, along with the Richemont group, he chose the path of freedom. "I have a great respect for what they do for me... They give me a great freedom. That freedom I don't have in my mind, my thoughts, my ideas. That freedom that, even when I'm absorbed by my work, allows me to create." And build a story in the name of an aesthetic continuity because, as he candidly admits: "All I do is work on my own work."
How was it to come back showing Couture?
I did not do any such thing as a "comeback showing couture." I find it strange that journalists think that there is such a thing as a comeback. I have always done couture, alongside ready-to-wear, developing together. I have always done couture dresses, and more and more in recent years. I am discreet, and do not show off. Discretion can be considered a form of absence, but I have been very much working on couture dresses through the years.
How did you start working on the collection? And what did you want to express?
I started like every time: nothing special. I did clothes for the collection. I do not try to express anything, not to do anything stylistic, not to think about fashion. I am doing regular work, like a couturier dressing women. I never stop to work. There is no beginning and no end. I work more than ever.
When Naomi opened the show, what did you feel? And what is your first memory related to her?
It is not about memory or about the past. I always live in the present. And Naomi is always present.
What is the Alaïa woman? Who are your muses?
I do not have any specific muse: every woman is my muse. When you make clothes, you have to respect every woman. Women choose style today: they are the muses of my style.
Azzedine Alaïa, picture by Valerio Mezzanotti for MFF Magazine.
How did you start working in fashion? When did you realize that you wanted to be a designer?
I never thought I would be a designer, and less now than ever. It started normally: I was at the school of fine arts. Things happen without thinking about them. And even today, I do not organize anything. I loved Paris; for me coming to live in Paris was much more important than anything else. Paris, when you love her, gives you everything; and when you don't, she throws you away.
What is your first memory related to fashion?
When I was a child, my mother would dress for celebrations, and people around her would be sewing clothes; I witnessed all that. I had an aunt who was a dancer – her shoes came from Perugia, she was dressed with a red-drape coat with a reverse side in panther by Dior or Balmain copied in Tunis. I would go out with her, and I was very proud of her company. When I looked at her, I couldn't not think about fashion.
If you could go back and you had not become a couturier, what would you have wanted to do?
I would have done something I could enjoy: I can do anything I love. I could have taken care of children, of young people.
What do you think of today's fashion? You created your own universe and avoid following the typical fashion system timing... why?
I can't think of today's fashion: I live the time as it is. The past, I know. And I am in the present and I live through it now. And I do not know what a universe is, nor what "mine" would be; fashion made it possible for me to meet extraordinary women throughout my career, like Louise de Vilmorin, Arletty, Carla Sozzani. Women make men. I do not have muses, but women are the most powerful, and they make men, even the most powerful and most intelligent.
Who are your points of reference? And, in the contemporary landscape, who are the young/emerging designers you appreciate the most?
My point of reference, as it should be for every designer, is women: they wear the clothes, and bring the designers to the top. I am curious to see who is coming up: there are always people we do not know about, and who are coming up. I have admiration for every designer who is really working to make a consistent body of work.
Azzedine Alaïa, picture by Valerio Mezzanotti for MFF Magazine.
What is seduction today?
There has never been any difference between forms of seductions – in the past, the present, and the future. It has existed for millenaries, and it depends on every individual's sensitivity, then and now.
Art has always been an important part of your work. What is the link between art and fashion, and why?
Art is a great nutriment for me, much more than the history of fashion. Very early on, I was looking at the work of Zurbarán, and Velásquez, and that has remained in my brain forever. For me, there is no difference between the great artists of yesterday and of today: art is never dépassé. I went to see the exhibition of Valentin de Boulogne at the Louvre: he is a master today, just as he was in the 17th century.
You often work with the world of theater. What do you enjoy in the exchange between disciplines?
I appreciate every form of the art of our time: it is important to respect them at the same level, to work with them equally, and with respect to their individual form. If it is ballet, you have to react the movement. You have to respect the dancers and their bodies. They have to be at ease perform; the clothes should not weigh on them, so that they can accomplish their work. I should not perturb their movement. In opera, too, people move, it's not static; it's not a fashion picture. You have to let the silhouette appear in the air: clothes should be part of the dancer's body, and appear with them. But it is the same in every woman's life.

As the egoic mode of consciousness and all the social, political, and economic structures that it created enter the final stage of collapse, the relationships between men and women reflect the deep state of crisis in which humanity now finds itself. As humans have become increasingly identified with their mind, most relationships are not rooted in Being and so turn into a source of pain and become dominated by problems and conflict. Millions are now living alone or as single parents, unable to establish an intimate relationship or unwilling to repeat the insane drama of past relationships. Others go from one relationship to another, from one pleasure-and-pain cycle to another, in search of the elusive goal of fulfillment through union with the opposite energy polarity. Still others compromise and continue to be together in a dysfunctional relationship in which negativity prevails, for the sake of the children or security, through force of habit, fear of being alone, or some other mutually "beneficial" arrangement, or even through the unconscious addiction to the excitement of emotional drama and pain. However, every crisis represents not only danger but also opportunity. If relationships energize and magnify egoic mind patterns and activate the pain-body, as they do at this time, why not accept this fact rather than try to escape from it? Why not cooperate with it instead of avoiding relationships or continuing to pursue the phantom of an ideal partner as an answer to your problems or a means of feeling fulfilled? The opportunity that is concealed within every crisis does not manifest until all the facts of any given situation are acknowledged and fully accepted. As long as you deny them, as long as you try to escape from them or wish that things were different, the window of opportunity does not open up, and you remain trapped inside that situation, which will remain the same or deteriorate further.
With the acknowledgment and acceptance of the facts also comes a degree of freedom from them. For example, when you know there is disharmony and you hold that "knowing," through your knowing a new factor has come in, and the disharmony cannot remain unchanged. When you know you are not at peace, your knowing creates a still space that surrounds your nonpeace in a loving and tender embrace and then transmutes your nonpeace into peace. As far as inner transformation is concerned, there is nothing you can do about it. You cannot transform yourself, and you certainly cannot transform your partner or anybody else. All you can do is create a space for transformation to happen, for grace and love to enter.
So whenever your relationship is not working, whenever it brings out the "madness" in you and in your partner, be glad. What was unconscious is being brought up to the light. It is an opportunity for salvation. Every moment, hold the knowing of that moment, particularly of your inner state. If there is anger, know that there is anger. If there is jealousy, defensiveness, the urge to argue, the need to be right, an inner child demanding love and attention, or emotional pain of any kind - whatever it is, know the reality of that moment and hold the knowing. The relationship then becomes your sadhana, your spiritual practice. If you observe unconscious behavior in your partner, hold it in the loving embrace of your knowing so that you won't react. Unconsciousness and knowing cannot coexist for long - even if the knowing is only in the other person and not in the one who is acting out the unconsciousness. The energy form that lies behind hostility and attack finds the presence of love absolutely intolerable. If you react at all to your partner's unconsciousness, you become unconscious yourself. But if you then remember to know your reaction, nothing is lost.
Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race. This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular. Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may have noticed, they are not here to make you happy or fulfilled. If you continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again. But if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation, and you will be aligning yourself with the higher consciousness that wants to be born into this world. For those who hold on to the old patterns, there will be increasing pain, violence, confusion, and madness.

So I am learning Rails and that i made the decision to look at my cheap hosting choices on GoDaddy, as well as their versions seem like this. Are the GEMs relevant inside a normal Rails application (determining that liberally), or is only the Rails version? My prediction is that's could be actionpack and rails, possibly?
If it's only the Rails version, GoDaddy is applying 1.1.2 and I am running 2.2.2. This is actually the same situation just like the ActionPack. What is a developer to complete?
a) downgrade for their version from the GEMs and learn how to develop against individuals?
b) develop for that new versions from the GEMs since many stuff does not change much anyway?
c) Quit. Hosting that is shared can be a joke, if you wish to host rails applications you'll want a minimum of an online Devoted Server somewhere?
d) Something I did not think about, and that's why I am asking this to begin with?
I would observe that, if c may be the answer, that's pretty annoying because for ASP.Internet hosting that is shared essentially works with no hitch.
I personally use Dreamhost, which often has got the most current gems (right here.)
Otherwise, you need to have the ability to vender your gems and Rails. The vendored versions should override whatever is a component of the machine.
You are able to bundle all of the gems you'll need within the vendor directory, including rails itself.
See there for any complete explanation.

What's your interpretation?
Photoperiod and seasonal productivity in swine
This figure shows a seasonal pattern of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in blood plasma in male pigs raised in a light-proof building with identical temperature and diets. Pigs in the natural photoperiod had minimum light (7 hours and 51 minutes) in December and maximum light (16 hours and 35 minutes) in June. Pigs in the reverse photoperiod had a shift of 6 months with minimum light in June and maximum in December. The light program was adapted once a week. What can you tell from the figure?
A seasonal pattern of productivity in domestic swine has been reported throughout the world. Reproductive and growth performance is low during summer months and high during winter months. Puberty of gilts is delayed during summertime.
The figure on the front cover demonstrates a light-dependent seasonal pattern of IGF-I levels in male pigs exposed to one of two light programs.1 The highest IGF-I concentrations occurred under decreasing daylength (October in the natural photoperiod and April in the reverse photoperiod). Lower IGF-I concentrations were observed under increasing daylength (March in the natural photoperiod and October in the reverse light program). The IGF-I concentrations were highly correlated with feed intake and testosterone concentrations.1
The effect of light duration on the attainment of puberty in gilts was studied in two replications (studies A and B, Table 1) of two light programs (long day and short day).2 Study A began in March, and study B began in September. Beginning at 57 days of age, gilts received 12 hours of light (L) and 12 hours of darkness (D). Under the long-day program, light was increased each week by 10-15 minutes for 12 weeks to reach a duration of 14.5 hours L:9.5 hours D. Photoperiod was then decreased 10-15 minutes per week for 12 weeks to return to 12L:12D by the end of the study. Pigs under the short-day program received the reverse photoperiod: a photoperiod decreased by 10-15 minutes each week for 12 weeks to reach 9.5L:14.5D per day, and then increasing light weekly for 12 weeks to return to 12L:12D. Gilts received the same diets and were housed at the same ambient temperature. Photoperiod was a major factor responsible for the delay in puberty (Table 1).
Photoperiod may govern the production of melatonin to influence reproduction. Melatonin is a hormone secreted from the pineal gland during the dark hours of the light-dark cycle in many mammals. The direction of its nocturnal increase in serum signals changes in daylength to the neuroendocrine system. The link between melatonin and seasonal breeding is the GnRH (gonadotropin-releasing hormone) pulse generator, which regulates pituitary LH (luteinizing hormone) secretion. Oral administration of melatonin has reduced age of puberty in gilts.
Seasonal reductions in productivity of swine may be decreased or minimized if photoperiod is considered in combination with decreasing temperature and increasing nutrient density in diets during the summertime.

Some say words are cheap but when I think of the most memorable, romantic or saddest tragic stories. The words used in these stories are what provokes one to think of the story, event or people involved. Just a few words can make you visualise an entire scene. It is the words that are used.
- You complete me
- My world would not be a world without you in it
- Romeo, where forth art thou,
to name a few,
It amazes me how words, a simple line or phrase you have heard in life can conjure up an entire scene, you can almost feel the moment.
Songs I have loved have been those with lyrics that were meaningful to me and clever lyrics,
- round, like a circle in a spiral or a wheel within a wheel never ending or beginning in an ever spinning reel.
- picture yourself in a boat on the river, tangerine trees and marmalade skies.
- Never seen you looking as lovely as you do tonight
- a man who will fight for your honour
all words that just hearing them make me think of people, times in life and things that have happened. Just hearing a couple of words from a song usually gets me humming or singing all the words to the song.
No, I don't think words are cheap. I think our world would be much poorer without them. Well, my life would be.

What is an OPS?

A One Place Study (as opposed to the genealogical work of an Online Parish Clerk or the worldwide surname reach of a One Name Study) focuses on the history of a specific place. By 'history', I don't just mean dates and events, but also its social history – the people who lived there and what they did for a living. A place's history can also include maps and picture postcards, details of the names on the war memorial, how it appeared in the Domesday Book, and more.

I know, I know. It seems rather redundant. I have a Blogger blog, have pointed my own domain at it (so it seems like a website) - and then put a tab for blog posts in the background. Why?

It's a matter of priorities. Do you want a blog or a website? I wanted a website, but couldn't afford yet another one, so I went with a FREE Blogger blog (ooh, I do like that word). If you want to post daily posts, then you want a blog (and you can put half a dozen static pages down the side). If you want the focus to be on the static pages, not the blog posts, then you want a website. So I logically ha ha created a Blogger blog.

In order to make it look like a website, I bought my own domain name and 'pointed' it at the Blogger blog.

I wrote one post, which was the welcome post, and instructed Blogger to show only one post per page.

Then I wrote lots of static pages, which were listed down the side. Boom! a website is born!

But as the One Place Study has progressed (and I did this for the Blagdon Surname Study blog-website, as well) I wanted to keep a record of the things I have done, so that I can look back later and say "Ah! that's how I did it!" - and when. So I wanted a blog. Except, it already was a blog. Except, it wasn't.

So I plunged into the world of redirects and fancy searches. This is a lot easier than it sounds.

You create a blank Page called 'Blog', and a test Post called 'test post'.

Every Post that you want to appear on the Page, you put the label 'blog' on it.

Then you set up two redirects (found in Settings-Search Preferences): one, for the front non-moving post, and one for all the blog posts that will appear:
Front page:
From: /
To: /2016/04/welcome-to-south-pool-one-place-study.html

Blog posts:
From: /p/blog.html
To: /search/label/blog

Tip: don't forget the / in front of each bit.

And now you have a blog inside a blog/website!

Every day is a new beginning.
I moved recently; abandoned people and tore down the life I knew to throw myself out into the unknown, to take a chance.
The place I sleep is not mine.
The food I eat is not mine.
The friends I meet are not mine.
I wanted to take this step because I'd gotten comfortable, and I didn't like what I saw in myself. I wanted to tear it all down and start over. But with what? What do you start with when you rid yourself of (almost) everything and try again?
Like houses, days and lives—I believe—are built on foundations. Though I rarely follow this advice myself for the current iteration of my being, I understand that how you start the day might not be how you finish it, but any carpenter will tell you that a good foundation is a fundamental step to a sturdy house. How you wall it, paint it, fill it or make it a home will differ from person to person, but without a good foundation, that thing you thought looked perfect is one bad wind from crumbling away.
In New Orleans, the new city that I hope to call mine someday, I had a chance to go through the Lower Ninth Ward, which saw the worst flooding after the levees were breached. The people there have mostly rebuilt. It's difficult in some areas to tell that there had ever been a disaster.
But every so often, we'd drive by a plot of land; humbly small for a suburban life. Just enough for a yard, maybe a kid's playground, a driveway sometimes. But where once was a house now sits only a square of dead grass. I don't know why, but that image shakes me; more than the videos of the destruction, the museum diaries and voice recordings and replayed broadcasts from the horrible time that Katrina rolled through. To see a house reduced to its foundation humbled me to mine.
So it's time to get back to our roots. The supermoon has come and gone, the solstice is passed, and it will get cold again soon. Maybe you think it's too late in the day to get started. Maybe you think it's too late in the year to start a new resolution. Maybe you think it's too late in your life to start a new practice. I tell you truly: if you're reading this; if you're making a conscious effort to reflect upon the day, the year, the life you live right now, then it's not too late. Start today. Start now. How do we set our day? Is it a cup of coffee? A morning asana practice? Do we write? Journal? Read? Play music? How do these things affect our day? Do we enjoy doing them?
It's your life. You build it. So ask: what is your foundation?
And if we don't like how it's built, what can we do to change it?

Dwight is a weird kid and therefore considered a loser by many of his classmates. Tommy and his friends are not much higher on the social totem pole, but at least they try to avoid potentially embarrassing situations. This is not easy to do in middle school when you always strike out playing softball in P.E. or your pants get wet in an awkward location or you really want to ask a girl to dance.
Unexpectedly, Dwight's weirdness offers possible solutions when he tells the other kids to ask his origami Yoda finger-puppet for advice. But can Tommy really trust Origami Yoda's advice on a matter of great importance? Is the finger puppet magic? Or is it just Dwight messing with them? How can Origami Yoda seem so wise when Dwight seems so clearly clueless?
To help him decide, Tommy puts together a case file with stories from classmates who asked Yoda's advice. His skeptical friend Harvey adds his rather mean comments and eventually makes his own advice-giving origami Yoda. In the end, Tommy has to decide whether to trust weird Dwight's Yoda and risk embarrassment or listen to negative Harvey's Yoda and play it safe.
The Strange Case of Origami Yoda is a fun, quick read, illustrated with doodles and instructions for making your own origami Yoda. The audiobook is well done, with five narrators for the different kids who contribute to Tommy's case file. The embarrassing situations are true-to-life, and the questions of whether it is okay to be weird, to be mean, to take chances, or to hide behind criticism add real depth to the story.

Tangerine by Edward Bloor
When the family moves to Florida, their new town of Tangerine adds to the mystery: the continual muck fires, disappearing koi, a student struck by lightning, and a massive sinkhole. Paul finds his way around these hazards as he joins the soccer team at Tangerine Middle School - the school on the other side of the figurative tracks from his middle class subdivision.
Paul is a clear-sighted and honorable character surrounded by a family absorbed in their own concerns and dreams. The mysteries and citizens of Tangerine provide a complex and rich world where Paul can seek his own place and perhaps a clearer view into his own past.

The Minister Provincial of the Province of St. Anthony of Padua – USA, in keeping with the Chapter mandate, has erected a Provincial Delegation and named Friar Paul MIŚKIEWICZ as Provincial Delegate.
Fra Paul MIŚKIEWICZ
With the decree of the Minister General on August 2, 2010, the General Delegation of Great Britain and Ireland became a Provincial Delegation under the Jurisdiction of the USA Province of St. Anthony.
The final decision of the Minister General and his Definitory was made following the favorable opinion of the Friars of the General Delegation, and of the Ordinary Provincial Chapter of the Province of St. Anthony in 2010. In fact, the Friars of the Delegation along with the Provincial Chapter of the US Province, responded well to the proposal of the Minister General and his Definitory, to transfer the Friars inscribed in the Delegation along with its seven Friaries to that same US Province.
Friar Paul will move to the Delegation as soon as the documentation for residency is completed by the competent civil authority.

Everything You Need to Know About Living Near Your Family
Many teens dream of getting far away from their families. They can't wait to spread their wings and fly the nest. The urge to be independent, to escape the constraints of family rules, and to be an adult, at last, is very strong. It results in thousands of high school kids crossing the country to attend college or start a new job each year. For many, freedom was exactly what they were hoping for and they set up home on the other side of the country or on the other side of the world. For others, it is not so successful and homesickness or family circumstances may drive them back home to live close to their folks.
What's good about living near your family?
The main advantage is that you get to be part of an extended family network. Your contact with your nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles is so much more than the annual birthday card. Your kids get to make memories with their cousins and with the kids of people that you went to school with. This kind of continuity can be reassuring and stabilizing. Nothing is more familiar and comforting than your hometown.
Image source
In contrast, if you move overseas, you are in a completely unfamiliar place and possibly in a country where you don't yet understand the laws and customs. You may need to find a local immigration lawyer to check out that you have the right to stay there and it can be unsettling if you have to move on.
Living away you miss out on the bond with elderly relatives. Children benefit greatly from contact with grandparents and they, in turn, thrive in the presence of children. You get to spend plenty of time with them in those very special final years of life.
When you live near your family you have a ready-made backup plan. It is far easier to ask your Mom or your sister to look after the kids whilst you attend a hospital appointment than it is to rely on friends. They are your kin, they owe you one!
What's not so good about living near your family?
Living close to their folks is not for everyone. You will be expected to pitch in when they need a hand and you may find this irritating. This is especially true if they have a tendency to take advantage of your good nature. Saying 'no' to relatives is hard and can cause family tensions.
Image source: https://static.pexels.com/photos/188934/pexels-photo-188934.jpeg
Sometimes, you just want to be left alone but this can be interpreted as awkwardness and rejection. You need your privacy if you have issues going on in your life that you don't want your relatives to know about and this can be almost impossible if you live on the same block or in the same neighborhood. If you are struggling with your kids, you may not want your own parents to know about this. Small towns, in particular, can be notorious for gossip and this does not suit everyone.

It has been a month since Baby K turned one year old yet I still can't put my mind on it. It has just been way too fast for me and everything needs to slow down a little. I remember last year, I was nervous and scared. I wasn't quite sure how I will manage taking care of her. I have an experience in taking care of babies/kids. I have four siblings and I helped my mom took care of them while she works but that's different. If I could't do it, she will take over. Not this time around. I had to do everything on my own. I had to trust my own instinct to judge whether it's good or bad. Remember, I had a lot of posts of me worrying because I might not be doing them right. But heck, everything went smoothly. Although, I can still clearly remember how rough that first week was.
She loves it when we go for walks and visit the library. Although, she can never sit still and finish one story. She always wants to go around and explore (or just mess up the dvd section). When it comes to eating, she will eat just about anything and sometimes, she prefers to do it by herself. I'm still on the process of teaching her how to use the spoon correctly.
She is my little dancer. Whenever she hears a good music or even his dad's singing, she will start dancing. Or she will just start dancing out of nowhere, sometimes even when I'm breastfeeding her. That's how big her love for dance is (still better be when she grows up, haha).
I am still yet to teach her new words. I'm not quite sure how I'll be doing it since she rarely listens to me when I tell her a story. The only words she can say are dada, papa, mama (finally!), dadi, and gigi (if you're a game, you'll probably know what this means lol). I'm still grasping to the fact that she is a toddler. Whenever friends and family come and visit us, they always say that she grew big and my thought was, really? She looks the same to me. I guess that's what you get for staying with your kid 24/7. But then, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Being her mommy is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
But seriously, any thoughts on how I should teach her to learn new words?

lundi 1 janvier 2018
by Bernard Bujold
The year 2017 ends and at each New Year's party, I like to make a "report" before embarking on the future and "predict" what will be the new year!
From the last year, I retain the following elements, which will influence 2018:
Smartphone photography has definitely replaced traditional photography. Just compare photos taken with IPhone X with those of a conventional camera to understand;
The arrival of "Google Home" in our living rooms is in a very primary stage but the future of the internet will develop from this kind of machine and artificial intelligence;
I read hundreds of books in 2017, of which I put the following three at the top of my readings:
1. "ORIGINS" by Dan Brown, certainly a prophetic look at the future of our humanity.
2. "LET TRUMP BE TRUMP", a look at the most notorious politician of our entire planet,
3. "TWO NIGHTS" by Kathy Reichs, her new character Sunnie is so captivating that one almost gets to forget the very famous BONES;
There was a period when I was a daily fan of CNN and Anderson Cooper. In 2017, I may have listened to Cooper a dozen times at the beginning of the year, but since June, I have completely abandoned CNN and I am a regular at FOX News;
There was a time when I read dozens of paper newspapers every day. During the last year, I read only one: the WSJ and I sometimes flipped through a few others, from time to time;
It will be necessary to see how the market of Quebec newspapers will stabilize in 2018. Le Devoir, despite its limited means, hopes to occupy the space left free by La Presse in paper format. All observers will also monitor the progress of LA PRESSE + that some call it a stroke of genius while others consider this project the failure of the decade. Let's mention that LA PRESSE + is not yet financially profitable ;
If there is a social momentum to be monitored in 2018, it will be the direction in which go the wave that began in 2017 in terms of the denunciations and accusations for abuse by the leaders of our society.
During the past year, many leaders have been eliminated from society and, unfortunately, their creations have also been swept away by the fall of the creators.
It is unacceptable that humans dominate and benefit from other humans but what happens if in their elimination, their empire is also eliminated? Thousands of employees are penalized by the fall of deplorable leaders.
The answer is not as simple as saying that we need exemplary leaders because this situation is utopian, a leader usually having qualities equal to his faults!
I wish you all a Happy New Year 2018.
Remember that the important thing in life is to adapt and survive as to continue your journey.
Have a nice trip!

Mount Laurel 4? The morning after the presidential election, the New Jersey Supreme Court will hear the appeal of a broad challenge to the state's longstanding "Mount Laurel" state constitutional rule, which requires higher opportunity towns to allocate a fair share of affordable housing for low income families in their region. A group of wealthy suburbs, supported by Governor Christie, is seeking to replace the current system (which has created over 60,000 affordable housing units statewide) with a new "growth share" approach that has no enforcement provisions, and permits towns to avoid their fair share obligation with a modest financial payment to a state fund. An unusual alliance of civil rights organizations, special needs providers, for-profit and non-profit developers, business groups, religious groups, and more diverse municipalities are asking the Court to affirm the holdings below that require each town to allow for its fair share of low- and moderate-income homes. Fair Share Housing New Jersey is arguing the appeal - you can listen to the oral argument on at 10:00 am on Nov. 7 here, and read more about the case here.

Well this is interesting….OIH is approaching $110 and I if you recall, back in January I sold 4 OIHGV (July 09 $110) contracts. If OIH holds, I may end up getting called on OIH and I'll cash out. I had been hoping for a rally in oil holders during the summer (peak usage) so hopefully I'll sell 400 OIH @ $110 to revert to $44k in cash. If I don't get called, it may be very profitable to sell October $110 strikes which are trading at $10 – that would be an additional 4k in profits!
As for the ETF-Cashinator, things are looking like they might be stabilizing once again but we've been down this road before too. Things are looking up slightly!

Talented contestant list set for Buffalo Bill Rodeo in Nebraska
June 13, 2017
There's some pretty fine talent that will ride, wrestle, rope and race in the Buffalo Bill Rodeo this week.
Some of that talent is in the form of champion cowboys and cowgirls, and some of it is from the weekend warriors, the rodeo athletes who have career and family obligations and can't rodeo full-time.
Either way, fans at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo at the Wild West Arena on the north side of North Platte will see some of the best cowboys and cowgirls going down the road.
One of the champions fans will see is a home-state cowboy. Riley Pruitt, a tie-down roper from Gering, won the average (the fastest combined time on 10 runs) at the 2016 National Finals Rodeo. Pruitt, who is 25 years old, won the 2015 Buffalo Bill Rodeo with a time of 17.0 seconds on two head.
His ride is a 17-year-old dun named Chip, who carried him to his win in North Platte two years ago, and at the NFR last year. Chip makes Pruitt's job easy. "I know exactly what he's going to do every time, which makes my job so much easier. He's going to score, run, stop, give me three steps back, and if I draw a good one, I know I can win on him." Chip has had some time off, to rest before the busiest part of the rodeo season starts, and Pruitt has a good idea what he might do when he's rested. "He's a funny horse. When he's fresh he'll try to buck me off."
As soon as North Platte is over Pruitt and his traveling partner, tie-down roper Chase Williams from Stephenville, Texas, will hit the road, competing at Reno, Nev., Prescott, Ariz., Livingston and Red Lodge, Mont., Cody, Wyo., St. Paul, Ore., and Greeley, Colo. That's the schedule through July fourth. Even though he makes his living in rodeo, he's a homebody, and when things aren't going smoothly, he loves to be home. "When things are struggling, when I go two or three weeks and draw bad or rope bad, I come home." His wife, Jenna, also helps. "She keeps me a little bit sane."

Another Husker contestant at the rodeo is Valentine's Trula Churchill. Raised in Stonewall, Okla., the barrel racer moved to Nebraska in 2000 when she married former steer wrestler Linn Churchill.
A three-time NFR qualifier, she will ride her horse Worm, whose registered name is A Streak of Rita. Worm, who was raised by Churchill, is 12 years old and has carried the cowgirl to her three trips to the NFR, three trips to the Canadian National Finals Rodeo, and countless wins.
A teacher for 20 years, Churchill, who taught at a two-room school south of Valentine, quit her teaching job in 2011 when she realized Worm was an exceptional barrel racing horse and she could rodeo full time on him.
He has a unique personality, Churchill said. "He loves his job, and he tries to win every time. He's special to me because he has let me not have a real job." She and Worm compete every spring in California, coming home in the summer and returning to California for their circuit finals in the fall.
Worm is picky about where he competes, and Churchill knows his favorite arenas and his not-so-favorites. If he doesn't like an arena, he won't run well. If he does, he runs his heart out. "There are some places that he really likes, and there are some he doesn't like at all. I've figured out which places he doesn't do well at, and we don't go to those." Churchill hasn't competed in North Platte since 2000, before Worm was around, so she doesn't know how he'll react to the arena, but she thinks he'll like the rodeo. "I have a gut feeling," she said.
Mullen's Steven Dent will kick off the biggest part of his rodeo season at North Platte.
The bareback rider figures he's competed at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo nine of the last 12 years, tying for the saddle bronc riding title in 2011 (with Luke Rush, Clay Center, Kan.). He's been to the NFR seven times, and hopes to qualify again this year. He hasn't rodeoed much so far, but will ride in Lexington, Ky., on June 16 then ride in North Platte the next night. After North Platte, he's on the rodeo road for a month and a half, competing in Reno, Nev., Springdale, Ark., Prescott, Ariz., Oakley, Utah, Greeley, Colo., St. Paul, Ore., Livingston, Mont., Cody, Wyo., and Killdeer, N.D., all by July fourth.
The North Platte rodeo is the closest pro rodeo for Dent, and it's like his hometown show. "It's pretty much where everybody in Mullen goes to, if they go to town, and there's always a bunch of people there that I know. Almost the whole community of Mullen goes to the rodeo. It's nice when the crowd gets excited when you ride."
Dent and his wife Kay have three children: son Cylas, who is 4, and daughters Emri, 2, and Dailie, 3 months. They ranch near Mullen. Dent is ranked 24th in the pro rodeo world standings.
Four-hundred sixty-four contestants will compete in North Platte this week. The tie-down roping, team roping and steer wrestling is two head, meaning each contestant gets two runs. The other events: bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, and barrel racing, are one head.
The rodeo begins at 8 p.m. each night. Rodeo clown and barrelman Cody Sosebee will entertain, and trick roper Loop Rawlins, a semi-finalist on the 2014 season of America's Got Talent, will perform. Bullfighters Quirt Hunt, Gordon, and Wacey Munsell, Ulysses, Kan., will work the bull riding, and Randy Corley, who will be inducted into the 2017 Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame, will announce. Beutler and Son Rodeo Co., Elk City, Okla., will provide the bucking horses and bulls.
Slack, the extra competition that doesn't fit into the performances, will be at 8 a.m. on June 14 and 15 and is free to the public.

After the premier of her new ad campaign, Tory Burch is facing criticism for possible cultural appropriation. With designers, such as Marc Jacobs, using white models with dreadlocks, and the lack of diversity in fashion shows, it is easy to see where Burch may have gone wrong.
The video, directed by Giovanna Battaglia Englebert, premiered earlier this week on Elle Malaysia. It was the debut of Burch's Spring and Summer 2017 collection, which featured model, Poppy Delevingne, and two other models. Although, the video includes a song produced by African American artists, the video fails to include any models of color.
Twitter has reacted in outrage to the video.
"Tory Burch had a misstep when her ad featuring Juju on the Beat consisted of exclusively white models" maaaan I love press releases in 2017
— Leigh Feldman (@Leighzus) March 24, 2017
Cultural appropriation: an all white casted Tory Burch commercial with white women dancing to Juju on the Beat.
— Nawezi Kimbuta ✌♚ (@NaweziMarcel) March 22, 2017
Burch states that the video was not meant to insult anyone, in fact, it was meant to do the opposite. "The video was intended to celebrate music that we love with our spring collection," Burch said in a statement. "It was never meant to be insensitive in any way."
Englebert shared her reasoning behind the song choice for the video in an interview, stating, "I wanted the video to be playful and as chic as possible and to put you in a very good mood." While the song is a feel good song, it does not take away from the fact that models of color were not included in the video. The continued use of cultural art without the inclusion of that particular culture is the definition of cultural appropriation. While the fashion industry has been making strides to be more diverse and inclusive, circumstances such as this, continue to arise.
Tory Burch has released an apology in regards to the video. "I personally feel very badly if this hurt anyone and I am truly sorry." Due to the backlash, the video has also been removed from all social platforms. Well, except for Twitter, of course.

Artist Statement: Still life paintings are an important part of art history, spanning from the times of ancient Egypt and existing into today. Some depict natural objects such as fruits and vegetables, while others feature man made objects such as glasses, bowls, books and tables. What many may not know about still lifes is the grand amount of symbolism that hides behind the objects selected – a mango, or other exotic fruit may symbolize travel, or wealth, while an intricately detailed wilted flower may symbolize impending doom. In my series of still life paintings titled "Peek", I look to the still life for inspiration. "Peek" gets its name from the act of making visual reference to the composition and color of still life paintings.

The redesign suits the print edition but for some reason it doesn't work on the web. Although I appreciate the perceived benefits of maintaining the look and feel between mediums, I actually liked the old site design better. It was easier to navigate. Less is more sometimes. Just ask MSNBC.
The magazine looks great and the website does a great job of incorporating the same design elements, together providing a consistent experience for the reader. Keep up the good work.

Carrot greens aren't toxic like many people seem to believe, and in fact, are very much edible. It reminds me of a tougher version of parsley with a carrot background flavor. This is an improvised chopped salad inspired by tabbouleh.
- A small bunch (1 cup's worth) of carrot greens, just the leafy parts
- 1/2 US cup parsley curly or flat leaf
- 1 cup cooked quinoa
- 1 small tomato
- 1 scallion, or 1/4 onion
- 1/4 to 1 carrot, or enough for about 1/4 cup minced
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- juice of 1 lemon
- salt, pepper, sumac to taste
- Remove the non-leafy parts of the stems of the carrot greens as they are tough
- Finely chop carrot greens, parsley, carrot, tomato, and scallions/onions to about the same size.
- Combine quinoa with the chopped ingredients
- Mix together oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and sumac to make dressing to taste
- Add the dressing to the salad, and combine well
- Let rest in fridge for an hour or two
For a kick, add a clove of finely minced garlic.

SACRAMENTO — A hastily drafted bill to remove about 225 acres of land east of Marina del Rey from the state coastal zone and thus circumvent an environmental lawsuit was rejected Friday by the Senate Natural Resources Committee.
The legislation was sought by retiring Controller Kenneth Cory in an attempt to speed up the sale of 75 acres that the state received in trust from the estate of Howard Hughes as payment of the late billionaire's inheritance taxes.
After October, 1987, the state will be able to sell the land back to Hughes' Summa Corp. for at least $75 million, or sell it to another buyer.
A representative of Cory, whose office was involved in negotiating a settlement of the Hughes will, maintained that the value of the land had been clouded by a lawsuit filed by the environmentalist Friends of Ballona Wetlands against the state Coastal Commission over a development plan for the area.

Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last to appear, at the back of the mouth, usually in the early twenties. Most people have 4 wisdom teeth, though many have fewer or none at all.
Frequently there isn't room for them with the result that they develop at an angle, pressing into the teeth in front or into the bone behind. As wisdom teeth are coming through, the surrounding gum sometimes becomes inflamed and sore. This is called 'pericoronitis'. This may settle down or come and go.
It is usually better to remove a wisdom tooth if you have repeated bouts of 'pericoronitis'. Occasionally this infection can be very serious requiring hospitalisation. In addition, wisdom teeth can lead to decay in adjacent teeth requiring removal of the wisdom teeth.</>
What will the Dentist do?
The dentist will usually take a full mouth x-ray to see where the wisdom teeth are in the jaw, as well as to see how simple or difficult it may be to remove. He will pay particular attention to any surrounding structures such as sinus (upper teeth), or nerves (lower teeth). Sometimes nerves can be damaged when lower wisdom teeth are removed which may lead to numbness in part of the tongue or lower jaw, but this is usually temporary and will recover.
Most wisdom teeth are removed with local anesthetic in the dental practice, but in rare cases or in those requiring general anesthetic hospitalisation may be considered. Depending on your job, you may need to take 2 or 3 days off work to recover from your wisdom tooth extraction. Your dentist will provide you with painkillers and antibiotics, as necessary, and we are available for contact by phone.

Hoots man!! 'Tis Scotland daft enough to break away from Mother England? Apparently, 'tis true!
Aye, bonny laddies and lassies! Scotland is actually contemplating the unthinkable. They are really considering separating from the United Kingdom. The same country that gave us kilts, bagpipes, Walter Scott novels and Scott Towels is considering filing for divorce from Britain. There is a vote scheduled for mid-September and for the first time in the polling data, it isn't looking good for a reconciliation.
Despite their best efforts, the Brits seem to be losing control of their argument to keep the Scots in the fold. If the opinion polls are to be believed, the United Kingdom will start shrinking. That means all those people at National Geographic better get to work fast and update their maps and population data. Trivial Pursuit will have to change some answers, too. The merry old gentlemen in England won't be very happy drinking their morning tea when they find out their fellow countrymen have bolted and taken the North Sea oil and gas with them to boot. Because you see, when it really comes down to it, it's all about the money.
So what's a body ta do? They could go begging to them on their hands and knees not to go, I suppose. But that would only humiliate them and make them look even more pathetic. I guess the Scottish haven't forgiven the English for all those wars they won and got their noses tweaked in the process.
So Europe will get what it richly deserves: more bureaucracy. And another one of those English-speaking countries, whose residents speak English with such a heavy accent, you'd swear it was anything but English.
England should really bend over backward if they want the Scots to stay. I would think and do like the Scottish.
How about trying to patch up relationships and using a really big roll of Scotch tape? Go to an animal shelter and adopt all the Scottish terriers you can find. Play hopscotch with all the kiddies and forget the English ales and down as much scotch as you can. At least that will help you forget for a while.
It might be a lost cause, but it's worth a try. Why? Because the two share a long and storied history (mostly full of bloody battles in which they slaughtered thousands of each other's men, women and children), a common government, language (sort of), and the English might lose access to all that valuable North Sea oil and gas. But mostly because of all that North Sea oil and gas.
I have always felt the trouble started when the Scots starting wearing those kilts and the English started calling them sissies. There was no use apologizing after that.
I just hope they can patch things up and let bygones be bygones. Otherwise the Scots might decide to flee the island and emigrate to America and establish a new presence on the East Coast, probably in New England somewhere like their ancestors. Oh wait. That's already been done. After all, who hasn't heard of the Boston Celtics?
Congratulations to this week's winner, Becky Goodman. She correctly guessed that "1 = K. on the L." was "1 = Knees on the Leg." The word "knee" was listed in last week's column.
Here is next week's puzzle: "10 = L. T. of I."
As usual, at least one of the words is included somewhere in the column. If you think you know the answer, submit your answer at AdVantageNews.com, under the Contests tab, click "Off the Top of My Head Answer" or call the AdVantage News answer line at (888) 532-4441 before noon on Tuesday.
