Kindle Voyage, 6″ High-Resolution Display (300 ppi) with Adaptive Built-in Light, PagePress Sensors, Wi-Fi – Includes Special Offers
Electronic Price: $199.99
Sale Price: $199.99
Eligible For Free Shipping
Kindle Voyage is our thinnest Kindle ever, with the brightest, highest resolution, and highest contrast display, plus reimagined page turns and an adaptive front light.
Brilliantly crisp display
New—The high-resolution display (300 ppi) features sharp, dark text that reads even more like the printed page. The micro-etched glass display diffuses light to eliminate glare and match the feel of paper. Kindle Voyage features the brightest, highest resolution, and highest contrast display of any Kindle.
Effortless page turns
New—PagePress allows you to turn the page without lifting a finger. Simply apply pressure on the bezel to turn the page, and PagePress will provide a silent haptic response for consistent and immediate feedback. PagePress is a custom-designed force sensor made of carbon and silver, which reacts to a subtle increase of pressure, triggers a page-turn, and provides a haptic response only your thumb can perceive.
Light that adjusts with you
New—Kindle Voyage can be read in bright sunlight or total darkness—and it's smart enough to know the difference. The new adaptive front light automatically adjusts the brightness of the display based on your environment, and can even be fine-tuned further to your personal preferences. When reading in the dark, the adaptive front light slowly lowers the display's brightness over time to match the way the eye responds to darkness.
Remarkably thin design
Improved—At just 7.6mm thin, Voyage is our thinnest Kindle ever. Comfortably hold Kindle Voyage in one hand for long reading sessions. Kindle Voyage was designed to come one step closer to a sheet of paper, with a flush-front bezel for a clean, streamlined design. With a magnesium back and a specially-reinforced glass front, Kindle Voyage is both durable and sleek.

Pilot HiringJim Barnes, MEC Coordinator
The Leading Edge, Spring 1999
Hiring Projections and Planning
As was the case last quarter, the projected number of new hire pilots for the year continues to fluctuate frequently yet still in the 500- 800 range. What has changed is the lack of timely information flowing from WHQ to DENEV. As of this writing WHQ has only provided firm information about class sizes for the month of April. The lack of planning information leaves DENEV in a position of guessing how many to be interviewing for classes in future months. Manpower planning had agreed to provide information at least two months in advance, which is really the minimum for DENEV to properly plan so as to avoid establishment of pools or unfilled classes. This is not happening.
The inability to adequately plan makes it impossible for DENEV to schedule new hires for classes six to eight weeks in advance as the Flight Officer Selection Steering Committee (FOSSC) established as a goal. The six to eight weeks was established to allow DENEV sufficient time to complete all required background checks, as well as to prevent creation of future pools. It allows the new hires enough time to arrange their personal schedules to be able to devote the time required for indoctrination and initial training, as well as time to complete the pre-study material, and provide reasonable notice to their current employer.
Flight Operations Support at DENEV
Interview Captain Staffing and Training
One group will remain active for a six-month period and then the other group will become active. This was done because the level of interviewing is not sufficient to keep all ICs proficient. Also due to the rapidly changing interview rates that we've seen over the last year or two, it was felt this was the best way to maintain a group that could respond to another rapid increase in numbers. No increase is currently anticipated, but it is desirable to have the ability given the fact that we had the trained ICs.
In early February, a three-day IC training session was conducted for the first group of the ICs. The first part was recurrent training to get this group, who is the current active group, up to speed following several months of inactivity. The second part of the session was a well-organized session designed to gain input into the interview process. This was an excellent training session, thanks to the efforts of Captain Szakach. The FOSSC was in attendance to observe the process. Another similar session will be held for the second group of ICs in April. I believe that information and input gained from these sessions will greatly aid in further improvement to our interview and selection process.#

New Tax Refund Scam – It's Not What You'd Expect
The Delaware Division of Revenue would like to alert taxpayers to a new and growing scam involving fraudulent tax refunds being deposited into real taxpayer bank accounts. After the money is deposited, the crooks use various tactics to con taxpayers into turning over those funds.
How does it work? Thieves are using schemes, including phishing, to steal client data from tax professionals. They then use that data to file fraudulent tax returns, and use the taxpayers' real bank accounts to deposit those tax refunds. Finally, the thieves pose as the IRS or other law enforcement representatives, call attention to the error, and ask taxpayers to return the money to them.
If you ever receive a refund that you are not expecting, call the Division of Revenue for more information. You can also check out the Taxpayer Guide to Identity Theft at IRS.gov to learn how to protect yourself from tax scams, where you can also find help with returning an erroneous refund.
The IRS warns that versions of this new scam may continue to evolve. If you think you're being scammed, call the Delaware Division of Revenue's Fraud Team at (302) 856-5358 for assistance.

New House 2015
Five years ago Ryan and I decided to build a home. True to form we began this huge life decision with more wide eyed excitement and spirit than understanding of just how much work was ahead of us. That sort of letting your heart go before your head mentality seemed to work for us in the past, so how hard could building a house be? Before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you that we fell in love with this particular piece of property over a decade ago, and building our (hopefully) forever home has always been a dream of ours. We were lucky enough to purchase the property from a friend, and we are also fortunate to be surrounded by family that has experience building their own homes. Beyond that help this house has been built on a foundation of diligence, hard work, and faith from Ryan, the boys, and I. Before we were even able to dream of pouring a physical foundation for our home, we had to first build it metaphorically in our marriage and family. For me this house represents the recovery we fought so hard for and the redemption we experience daily. Did we have any clue that our house building journey and family recovery would coincide? Absolutely not, but that's the kind of movement that happens when a person follows a dream heart first!
So back to that first question, how hard could building a house be? For us it has been hard enough in order to teach us the lessons we needed to learn, but not without the joy of victory afterwards!

First of all, the list of ailments.
Burn is a serious ailment that reduces your Pokémon's Attack stat by 1/2. It also causes your Pokémon to lose 1/8th of its max HP every turn. Fire-type Pokémon cannot be burnt.
Freeze can render a Pokémon useless until it is cured. Freeze does not affect stats or do damage, but it prevents the Pokémon from making attacks. Only the following moves may be used by Frozen Pokémon: Flame Wheel, Sacred Fire, Flare Blitz, Fusion Flare, Scald, and Steam Eruption. These moves will cause the Ice to melt (and the attack goes through in the same turn). The Freeze status can also be removed by allowing your opponent to strike the Frozen Pokémon with a Fire attack. (Obviously, you would have to trick him or her into doing that for you.) If a Pokemon is frozen, there is a 20% chance of it defrosting each round. Ice-type Pokémon cannot be frozen. Pokémon cannot become frozen in harsh sunlight.
Paralysis is the most popular and debilitating ailment in use. Paralysis has two effects; one, the Pokémon's Speed is cut to a quarter of its original value. Two, the Pokémon has a 25% chance of being 'fully paralyzed', meaning it misses a turn. Electric-type Pokémon cannot become paralyzed.
Sleep is a very dangerous ailment. Some official tournaments, as well as many trainers, use the 'Sleep Clause' - only one Pokémon may be put to Sleep at a time. That Pokémon must awaken or faint before another can be put to sleep, otherwise the opponent loses by default. Sleep can last from 1 to 3 turns - the counter is reset if the Pokémon switches out -, during which time, your Pokémon cannot attack. The only moves it can use are Sleep Talk and Snore. In addition, the moves Dream Eater and Nightmare can only be used on Sleeping Pokémon.
Poison is the classic Health-lowering technique that has been refined into a science over the years. Poisoned Pokémon lose 1/8th their max Health each turn (1/16th in RBY) and also take a point of damage every four steps out of battle. A few moves, like Toxic, can inflict 'bad poison' which starts at 1/16th in all versions, but the damage done increases by 1/16th each turn as time wears on. If a badly poisoned Pokémon switches out, it is still badly poisoned, but the counter will reset. If a Pokémon with the Synchronize ability becomes badly poisoned, so does the attacker. Poison-type and Steel-type Pokémon cannot become poisoned.
Confusion is not considered a 'major' ailment because it does not change your status, thus, your Pokémon can be Confused as well as Burnt, Paralyzed, etc. Once Confused, your Pokémon has a 50% chance of hitting itself. No matter what the attack (even if a damaging attack was not chosen), if your Pokémon hits itself, it does it with a 40 power Physical attack that takes no particular element. It does not Critical Hit. Confusion lasts from one to four turns. Confusion is second only to Paralysis as the most irritating ailment, and even worse is to get hit with both at the same time (sometimes called "Parafusion"). While switching can remove Confusion, you're still giving your opponent a free hit.
Safeguard is the optimal ailment-preventing technique. It does not heal them, but for five turns (including the turn used), your entire Pokémon team is shielded from all status ailments, including Confusion.
Substitute can protect the user from all Status effects until it breaks. It can also be passed to other Pokémon with Baton Pass.
Heal Bell is a very rare technique that can cure your entire team of Burn, Freeze, Paralyze, Sleep and Poison. It cannot cure the user of Sleep, however (through the use of Sleep Talk). It does not affect Confusion.
Rest can cure the using Pokémon of Burn, Paralyze and Poison. It has to be used to work, so obviously, Frozen or Sleeping Pokémon cannot use it. In addition, the using Pokémon falls asleep for three turns.
Refresh cures Poison, Burn and Paralysis.
Haze removes ailments in RBY only. In later games, it does not, nor does it affect Burn or Paralyze's Attack or Speed cuts.
Sunny Day will prevent Pokémon from Freezing.
Items like Burn Heal, Antidote, the Poké Flute, and Full Heal can be used to cure major ailments in-game. None of these can be used in link battles, however.Though it is little consolation, Fainting will remove all afflictions from a Pokémon. Big deal, as there's no way to revive them in a link battle.
A Pokémon cannot have more than one major status ailment at a time. If a Pokémon is Burned, it will never Freeze. A Sleeping Pokémon cannot be Paralyzed. However, Confusion is not a major ailment, so it can be used if another ailment is already in place.
If an element is completely ineffective against another element, a status inflicting move may not work- Ground types will never be affected by Thunder Wave. However, for some reason, Normal and Ghost status attacks work on each other. (Confuse Ray, Sing, etc.)Attacks have to hit before the ailment chance can be considered. Smog has a 39.8% chance of Poisoning but only a 69.5% chance of hitting, thus, its true Poison rate is only about 27.55%.

Cracking Up
Today I'm taking a random approach and adding two items to the list. Two totally unrelated items I might add.
1. Wake Up -- A common enough phrase. Heard at home, work and even the radio.
"Billy wake up, it's time to school."
"Hey Idiot, wake up and smell the roses."
"Wake me up before you go-go."
But riddle me this. Why must we always wake up? Just once I want to wake down. Or wake sideways. After all we don't say time to sleep down. I suppose you can shut down you mind, though in my case my mind seems to go into hyper thought when I get I bed for the night.
A person can lay down. I get that. And they can get up. But can they really wake up? I think not.
2. SpongeBob SquarePants I do not like Sponge Bob. My boys however love the show. Who do I not like it? The reasons are many. The porous protagonists nerve-wracking voice and laugh. The fact nary an episode goes by that one or more characters is shown in their underwear. (Why didn't they call it Sponge Bob No Pants?) Then there is Mr. Krab. The cantankerous crab that owns the Krusty Krab and sells Krabby patty's.
His name is Krab. He has larger red pincher's so I think everyone will agree that SpongeBob's boss is a crustacean. A crab.
Mr. Krab has one child. A daughter. Named Pearl. Riddle me this if Mr Krab is a crab, why is his daughter a sperm whale?
Far as I know there has never been mention of Pearl's mother. Maybe Mr. Krab and her had a one night stand and the baby was dumped on the doorstep of his restaurant nine months later. Maybe they are divorced and Mr. Krab is so miserly because he pays a hefty child support. Here's me theory. Pearl's mom is dead. She was also a two-timing whore.
Why you ask. Follow me as I deliver the evidence. It doesn't take Jerry Springer or a DNA test to unearth the fact Mr. Krab's is not Pearls real father. That means Mrs. Krab's sold him a bill of goods. It's rather obvious she stepped out one night and got drunk. Maybe Mr Krab's was away at a Small business owners convention and she simply got lonely. Who knows. But it is obvious she and a whale got busy.
So from there it's easy to arrive at the fact she's dead. If, and this is a mighty big if, Mrs. Krabs survived the actual deed. I'm saying that because .. well let's face it, a sperm whale and a Krab don't exactly fit together like fish and chips. There had to be some residual damage from the actual deed, but back to that if. If Mrs. Krab's survived the deed I gotta think a crab giving birth to a whale is gonna do more damage than a fat guy at Red Lobster with a pair of these.

The first of day of school. The emotions of this day are all over the place. A few years ago there was a greatcommercial that summed up two responses people have on this first day.
For some parents back to school is the most wonderful time of the year, but for other's its not. Do you remember the first day you dropped your child off at kindergarten
or maybe that day you dropped them off at college.
For parents the first day of school can be filled with great joy and sorrow or maybe the feelings are fear and anxiety. For students it's the same. You might be like those kids in the commercial and dread the first day of school but other children are excited to get back and students at every level are filled with fear and anxiety about the first day in a new grade or a new school. Will I make friends? Will I succeed? Will anyone eat lunch with me in the cafeteria?
The first day of school can be a challenge, but the challenge of first days is not limited to students and parents. Do you remember the first day on a new job? There may have been great joy and excitement as you began a new career but you might have felt fear and anxiety as you stepped into a position that was unfamiliar. There is fear and anxiety in new jobs. Can I do it? Will I be successful? Will people like me? Will anyone eat lunch with me? Isn't it interesting that some of our fears and anxieties never change.
There are other first days that cause stress and uncertainty. How about the first day you held your new child? Can I really do this? Or the first day you brought that child home and you were really on your own. Or the first day of retirement when there is nothing on your calendar for months on end. What will you do? What will fill your days? Will anyone want to each lunch with you? Again some of our fears and anxieties never change?
No matter what first days we face, we can learn how to face them with faith by looking at Jesus' first days. There was his first day on earth, the first day of ministry, the first day after his resurrection and the first day of his church and as we look at these first days we find what's needed to make it through ours.
The first thing that happened on the first day of Jesus life was that angels found a group of shepherds and gave them a message. This is from Luke 2:10-12. From the very first day, God had a plan for Jesus. He was born into this world to be the savior, Christ the Lord. Now granted, Jesus didn't hear this message when he was born, but because it was recorded we know that those shepherds must have shared what they heard with Mary and Joseph who over time shared it with Jesus. From the first day of his life, Jesus was told that God's plan for him was to be the savior. Jesus always knew that God had a plan for him.
On every first day we face we need to remember that God has plan for us. God has a plan for us in school, in sports, in the band, in our dorm, at our business, with our families and in our retirement. God has a plan for us and we need to step into our first days confident in God's plan and purpose. We need to tell our children that God has a plan for them in the classroom and on their teams. We need to send our children to college with the encouragement that God has a plan for them at school and in life and that we stand with them as they search and prepare for it. We need to begin new jobs confident that God has bought us to this place and time for God's purpose. Even in retirement God has a plan for us and it's important to seek out that plan because it's more than just reading and watching tv or watching the grass grow.
All of us have a God given plan and in his book, The Purpose Driven Life, Rick Warren says that we all have a purpose or mission that is shared and a mission that is specific. The shared mission we all have is to be part of the church which shares the love, grace and truth of Jesus with others. Together we are called to the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world and the most important way we do this is by being part of the body of Christ that loves the serves the world. This is part of God's plan we need to share with our children as they start school. They are part of a church where we are all called to love others and treat others well and speak kind words to them. While we all share in this mission, we also have a specific mission.
Our specific mission is to be used by God in the unique way God has created us. The purpose of some may be to teach and lead the children and we need to pray for our teachers who face their first day tomorrow. The purpose of some is to care for the needs of our children in the schools, so those who drive buses and vans, those who cook and clean, those who provide support services to children need our support and prayers. The purpose of some is to lead a business or lead in our community or government. The purpose of some is to work in health care or finances, or to work in retail, service industries or higher education. God has called each of us to a specific purpose and as we fulfill that purpose we find meaning. On our first days we need to remember that God has a plan for us.
We also need to remember that on every first day we face God is says to us, You are my child, whom I love; with you I am well pleased. This is what God said to Jesus on his first day of ministry which took place at his baptism. The baptism of Jesus is the first time we see Jesus as an adult in the gospels and it marks the beginning of his public life and ministry and on that first day as he comes up out of the waters of the Jordan River it says… Luke 3:22
You are my child, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
No matter what first day we are facing, this word brings us much needed encouragement. New beginnings bring challenges and uncertainty, it raises questions about our competence and ability and during those times of doubt we need to know that we are God's children, that we are loved by God, and that God is pleased with us. Students, as you head off to school where you may hear harsh and critical words from others, remember that you are loved by God. If you are starting college and entering into a world that will challenge your faith and world view, remember that you are a child of God who is loved by God. If you are starting a new joy or any new beginning, remember that God is pleased with you and loves you. This is a message we need to hear on first days and every day.
These words were said at the baptism of Jesus not so much for the benefit of the crowds who really didn't know what was going on but for the benefit of Jesus. On this first day for Jesus he needed the reminder of God's love and if Jesus needed to hear this, how much more do we? We not only need to hear it we need to share it. We need to communicate this message to your children, share it with friends and use it to encourage coworkers. If we are willing to share this message then at every stage of life we will hear these words that bring us encouragement and strength. You are my child, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.
The third thing we need to know on our first day is that God will not abandon us on the second or third day but that God will walk with us every day and that is what we learn from the first day of Jesus' resurrection. Staying in Luke's gospel, the first resurrection appearance of Jesus was not at the empty tomb but along a road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. Luke 24:13-15.
Jesus walked with them that day and he listened to their hopes and dreams, their disappointments and fears. As Jesus walked with them he taught them the truth of God's word and encouraged them by taking time to eat with them and bless them and it was during the evening meal where their eyes and hearts were opened. Luke 24:28-32.
The first day of Jesus resurrection was spent walking with his followers and Jesus appeared to them many days after that so as we face the uncertainty and anxiety of our first days we need to remember that God is here to walk with us and God will keep walking with us. As God walks with us he listens to us, he takes the time to lead and teach us and then he also is willing to open our hearts and minds so we can truly see him with us. We do not face any new beginning alone; God is there to help us on the first day and to help us every day. The question is will we take the time to look to God and lean on him for help?
The final first day I want us to consider comes from the book of Acts which was also written by Luke, and it comes from the first day of the new church which was carrying on the work of Jesus. Acts 2: 1-4. The first day of the church was a day of power. It was a day when God's power was given to the followers of Jesus so they could do everything God had planned for them.
Our first days are also marked with God's power. The power of God is with us. Jesus was the Savior of the world through the power of God. Jesus ministered to people in the power of God. Jesus rose from the dead through the power of God. The church fulfilled its purpose and shared the news of Jesus through the power of God. Every important first day in Jesus life was marked by the power of God and we will be able to make it through our first days because the power of God is with us. If you are stepping into a new job find confidence and courage in the power of God. If you are stepping into the unknown of retirement you can do it because God's power is with you. If you are starting in a new grade or in new school you can make it through because the power of God is with you. The power of God is with us. .
Tomorrow is a first day for students but we all face first days in life and as we do we need to learn from Jesus' first days that
• God has a plan for us.
• We are God's children and we are loved by God.
• God will walk with us.
• The power of God is with us.
Next Steps
First Day…
First day of school… First day of college… First day on a new job… First day of retirement… First day as a new parent…
What thoughts and feelings did you have on these first days? What first days are you facing right now?
What has helped you make it through your first days?
Read about what happened on four first days of Jesus' life. What lessons can you learn from these first days?
• Luke 2:1-20
• Luke 3:21-22
• Luke 23:13-35
• Acts 2:1-12
On all your first days… remember
1. God has a plan for your life.
• How can you be part of the shared purpose God has for all of us as part of the church? Find one way to connect with the church this fall that will help you fulfill this purpose.
• Identify the specific purpose God has for you.
2. You are my child, whom I love; with you I am well pleased. Write down this message from God and read it every day. Share this message with others, especially your children.
3. God walks with us each day to listen, talk and encourage. Take time to experience God's presence with you. Read God's word and listen to Him in prayer. Accept God's offer of grace and love.
4. God gives us power to accomplish his purpose and plan. Ask God to fill you with the Holy Spirit so you can do all you want to do and all that God is asking of you.

#Monday April 17 2017 I read this interesting article (http://www.businessinsider.com/man-wants-to-get-the-worlds-first-head-transplant-2015-4) about this man that is paying big money to have his head be plugged unto a younger body of someone else once his body gets older. This technology is old as shown on this video.
But there are several questions that need to be asked about this.
As we all know, we all have 7 chakras…So if he would only have his 3rd eye chakra, his crown, and his throat chakra, what about all the ones below?
Would he then not have a heart chakra? Or will he have the other man's heart chakra?
This is an extremely interesting topic because whoever studies the metaphysics has heard that the heart IS the first brain where all our memories and experiance are stored.
The heart that gets weighed after death on the scales of Ma'at against a feather. And that judgement determines if you will pass on to the next life.
Similarly the "Tibetian Book of the dead" is as similar as the "Egyptian Book of the Dead."
The Tibetian Book of the dead states we roam around for 40 days (Mars Transit) undergoing different dimemsions.
Like on this video there is a stage where you will be observing the "fire people" and you must be strong and overcome the fear. I believe it correlates to the solar chakra. It seems like all our chakras will be brought under judgement to determine our next lesson on the kabalistic tree of life correlating to the sepirots (Our Chakras)
But once you pass those 40 days you will be incarnated again.
So this man who wants to switch bodies…will this heart chakra be there ethereally? Or will he not be able to cross the afterlife since his orginial body is not intact?
Is that not called cheating?
Stealing or trying to channel someone elses physical karmic blueprint?
Queen Nefertiti mummies head was bashed (out of hate) so in the afterlife she wouldnt speak her names to the gods. Or she wouldn't be able to reccognize herself.
Let's keep in mind that life forms our Ego. The "I". Once you die, there is no "I". Also it is stated that the drug Salvia gives a similar death experiance of having the "I" removed and only observing. Your body condenses to thin air.
What is your thoughts on this?

|George Balanchine's The Nutcracker. (Pacific Northwest Ballet)
After 32 seasons of The Nutcracker featuring the art of children's author Maurice Sendak, The Pacific Northwest Ballet acquired George Balanchine's The Nutcracker in 2015 which gives the ballet show a fresh new take on the genre. The new show runs from November 25-December 28, 2016.
Based on 1816 tale of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King by E.T.A. Hoffman and featuring the music of Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, George Balanchine has decribed the show like this: "The Nutcracker at our theater is for children young and old. That is, for children and for adults who are children at heart. Because, if an adult is a good person, in his heart he is still a child. In every person the best, the most important part is that which remains from his childhood."
The staging features new designs by another renowned children's author and illustrator, Ian Falconer, who takes Balanchine staging forward into the 21st century, while the staging by Fugate, Boal, and Whittle affirms the heritage of a tradition reaching back to 1892 and the grandeur of the Imperial era.
Value performance tickets start at $25 and will be sold out soon. Tickets can be purchased online or by calling the box office at (206) 441-2424.
The Pacific Northwest Ballet is located at 301 Mercer Street, Seattle, WA 98109.

If you really love something
set it free.
If it comes back it's yours,
if not it wasn't meant to be.
Its hard to pretend
you love someone
when you don't
but its harder to pretend
that you don't love someone
when you really do.
Love is never lost.
If not reciprocated,
it will flow back and soften
and purify the heart.
Forget the times
he walked by,
forget the times
he made you cry,
forget the times
he spoke your name,
remember now
you are not the same.
Forget the times
he held your hand,
forget the sweet things
if you can,
forget the times
& don't pretend,
remember now
he's just your friend.
(Read Related : Pain quotes)
Sometimes it's hard
to love someone
because you're so
afraid of losing them
Never be sad for what is over,
just be glad that it was once yours.
If someone you love hurts you cry a river,
build a bridge, and get over it.
How do you heal a broken heart?
I have no idea where to start
because everything I do reminds me of you.
They say no matter how dark the night is,
the sun always rises again ...
I say lost love makes one realize that
no matter how bright the day is,
the sun will always set again.
A lost love is never lost unless
what's lost is the love for your lover.
I had a dream and it was about you ...
I smiled and recalled the memories we had ...
Then I noticed a tear fell from my eyes ...
You know why?
Coz in my dream you kissed me and said goodbye ...
I know in reality we can't be together,
so I just close my eyes
and you're right here with me...
in my dreams you're mine forever.
(Read Related : Heartbroken
I was reborn when you first kissed me.
Part of me died when you left me.
But now I still live,
waiting for the day you return to me.
Its hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone if your heart
still does.
The way to love anything
is to realize that it might be lost.
Never say goodbye
when you still want to try.
Never give up
when you still feel
that you can take it.
Never say you no longer love a person
when you can't let go..

In August 2001, a two-day auction was held where many of the assets
of the plant were sold -- surpassing expectations by raising just
over $1 million. Assets for sale ranged from computers, to large
technical equipment, to smaller hand tools and office supplies.
There are items currently for sale, they may be seen in the Used
Equipment Sales.
The larger steel-making assets of the plant were marketed separately
and directly to potential buyers around the world through a private
treaty sale. This included the electric arc furnace, bloom caster,
slab caster, rolling mill and roll shop.
In February 2003, Sysco reached an agreement with Maxsteel Ltd.
of the UK for the purchase and removal of the plant's larger
steelmaking assets.

1 you are a taste and love of fashion people, to the dog with your dress to match the pet clothing, better reflect the master's taste and the dog's love.
2 dog's skin is more sensitive, the summer cut short hair, the dog's skin is more easily sunburned or stabbed, the appropriate baby to wear breathable good summer, can help the dog to protect the skin, and Dogs do not feel hot.
3 summer home for a long time to open the air conditioning, Pet Clothing the floor is very cold, to avoid the dog cool to the stomach and appear diarrhea or cold cold.
4 you want the dog's hairiness is better, for the dog shaved hair, you need to put the dog to the material comfortable pet clothing.
5 dogs in the park or when playing on the grass, Pet Clothing will be stained with a lot of grass and debris, to the dog to wear clothes can avoid stained with these things.
6 dogs sometimes drool, to the dog to wear pet clothing, you can avoid the dog's saliva flow to it, dirty hairy.
7 is the last cold weather, in the winter for the dog to wear pet clothing, that is beautiful and warm.
In the purchase of clothing for their families, Pet Clothing you are not also want to prepare for their own baby pet pet clothing? In fact, the production of pet clothing and the production of ordinary clothing is not much difference, the most important thing is to have accurate size.
From the pet's point of view, their "measurements" should include: neck circumference, chest and length.
Neck circumference
The so-called neck circumference, that is, your baby's neck circumference, in other words is usually wearing a collar position of the circumference, this position is a clothing collar position, collar can not be too hypertrophy, not too narrow, generally Measure the release of a centimeter!
In the end where they are considered the bust of the pet? Specifically refers to their front legs at the widest place around the circumference, usually, here will be the pet body the most fat place, Pet Clothing because this place hair thick Meat, so the accuracy of measurement is difficult to grasp, the general measurement of at least two to three centimeters.
The length here refers not to their entire length, but from their neck to the tail of the length of the root, it is important to note that in the measurement of the length of time, be sure to let your pet straight, the body fully unfolded, do not Tummy or lying, Pet Clothing if this will greatly reduce the accuracy of the measurement scale.
The above three parts only make the most basic measurement of pet clothing parts, if you need to produce more refined clothing, it is best to measure their legs long, the distance between the front legs, lower body length (male dog can be slightly shorter Long) and so on. Some special dogs also need specific parts of the specific measurement, for example: some dogs due to excessive nutrition and the formation of a beer belly, Pet Clothing then in its clothing production process in the size of the abdomen circle will release some, which can greatly enhance the measurement Accuracy.
After all the measurements can begin to produce, you can own hands yourself, you can also give a professional pet fashion design production staff, to produce a beautiful and fit the clothing!

Lung Cancer is the most common type of cancer linked to asbestos exposure. It is found in people who have sustained prolonged exposure to asbestos. Lung cancer, asbestos related or otherwise, develops in the tissue that surrounds the lung, often obstructing and invading air passages. The length of time between exposure to asbestos and the occurrence of lung cancer is usually 20 to 30 years and in some cases can be longer. Inhalation of cigarette smoke and asbestos dust multiplies the effect, which increases susceptibility to developing asbestos lung cancer significantly.

26 March 2012 Fast service & value for money I ordered 3 items, viz 4 brass door bolts, a set of door handles for a latching door, and an hydraulic door closer. The most impressive was the door closer in that it was only a little over ¡ê10: the last one I purchsed (from elsewhere) was over ¡ê20 and less versatile. The only difficulty was with the door handles in that the "washer" that limits the turning angle did not allow sufficient movement so as to undo the latch. This necessitated me in having remove the washer and file off the limiting protuberance.

Much of Anglo-Saxon poetry is a "mash-up" of genres. A "mash-up" is a current popular culture term that has a number of uses. In the computer field, the term is used to describe a new service, application, or web site that combines data or functionality from multiple sources. Similarly, the terms is used in modern music to describe a song that seamlessly integrates the lyrics and music of another song or songs into itself. A classical quodlibet is an early example of this. A "mash-up" is not another term for intertextuality: the latter studies how one text has absorbed and transformed another.1 Nor is it allusion or inference; lastly a "mash-up" is not simply the study of sources. All of these have their place in the literary critic's toolbox, and admittedly there are times when drawing a sharp contrast between the source critical study and the intertextual study is difficult as they meld into one another. A "mash-up," however, is a farrago, not a transformation of one thing by another, not only the discovery of the original sources on which the creator is drawing, what the creator alludes or references. Rather, a "mash-up", this farrago, is the combination of texts, genres, sources, ideas, tropes, etc into something that is both hybrid and yet new. Much of our study of Anglo-Saxon poetry, especially that in Old English, has focused on the Source Critical with some nod in more recent years to the intertextual. While this is not the only critical approach to Old English poetry, these approaches have towered as among the most common, and perhaps, even the most important.
Typically, the poems that have attracted the most attention from scholarship are those that merge a "native" Germanic genre with some kind of Christian genre or theme. Examples are not difficult to find, nor are illustrations of this point limited to the Anglo-Saxons. One could examine Dream of the Rood, Judith, Exodus just to name three in the Old English corpus. Genesis B, Heliand, and even the Ludwigslied are near contemporary parallels from the continent. Commonly, approaches to these texts have examined the sources where discoverable, examined various editorial and philological concerns, and noted the "Germanization" of Christian or Greco-Roman themes, tropes, motifs, or admired the Germanic heroic poetry on its own terms.
In our discussions of the Germanic and Christian in Old English poetry, however, the approach has typically been to explore or assume a specifically "Christian" element and observe how that element is given a "Germanic" expression. Thomas Hill noted more than 20 years ago that it is a "commonplace to observe that Cynewulf Germanicizes his source...."2 Such ideas are not limited to Cynewulf but are part of the discussion of every poem in the surviving Anglo-Saxon poetic corpus. Much of these kinds of study assumes a dichotomy between Christian and pagan, Christian and German, or even German and Christo-Roman.
What the reminder of this paper seeks to do is reopen this question. While Cynewulf is certainly drawing on known sources, he is not merely recasting them into a Germanic heroic poem. He is rather taking elements of Near Eastern culture, Greco-Roman culture, Christian commentary and theology, and his own cultural outlook drawing on multiple texts, genres, and images to produce a true "mash-up" poem about the Ascension. The poet is not merely derivative of his sources; he is merely giving a Christian theme a coloring drawn from his native culture. It is more than those things: more than source study, more than intertextual, more than expressing an old idea in new language, however loaded that language may be. Perhaps most of all, the dichotomy that we too often draw between Christian and German, Christian and pagan, etc., distorts the picture of what Anglo-Saxon poets were doing.
The process by which this will be approached will take three phases. The first part examines Cynewulf's use of the catechetical genre as source, inspiration, and perhaps as his goal in producing this poem. Second, the paper examines cultural motifs and ideas about kingship, throne-ascensions, and images of divine and human kings extending from the ancient context of the Hebrew psalms to Cynewulf's own contemporaries and beyond. The third part looks at the result of the Ascension, the giving of gifts and what that catalog of charismata in Cynewulf's poem indicates in the foregoing context. All three of these building blocks, however, will be cast against a backgroud that Cynewulf is not being just intertextual, not just giving a Germanic coloring a Christian scene and so on but is taking part in a process of creating something new.

it may be because I am not a literary scholar that I am not quite sure about your distinction between intertextuality and the mash up. Just a little bit more explanation at the point where you deny that they are the same thing might help others as well as me.

Hi Steve,
Well, I'm not sure what it has to do with being a literary scholar, so much as a certain kind of literary scholar. And I'm not that kind either.
As I understand it, Kristeva offered the term to describe a text that transforms another text within it.
Others have watered down that use so that it really means no more than "allusion", but Kristeva means it to be more than that.
A "mash up" isn't a reinterpretation of one text by another; rather a "mash-up" is the fusion of two or more texts/ideas/etc together to make a new whole.
So Sons of Anarchy is a Kristevan "intertext" with Shakespeare's Hamlet.
Or Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" is mashed with "Da Funk" by Daft Punk where both songs transform each other.
One might argue that the recent "zombie" books that retell Jane Austen novels are mash-ups and contrast the intertextual relationship of Eliot's Ulysses with The Odyssey.
It does get fuzzy; I'm still puzzling it out and trying to discover if it's useful, if someone has been here before with different nomenclature, or it I should just jettison the whole thing and resort to my usual comfort zone.

I heard this on the radio today. It touched me, so I'm passing it on.
There were two brothers who lived in the country had a really close relationship. When they grew up, they even decided to have their farms adjacent to each other. But one day, the brothers had a falling out. The one brother was so mad that he went to the edge of his property that touched his brother's land and decided to build a river between the two farms.
"Now my farm won't even touch his land," he thought.
Well, the other brother, not to be outdone, got angry and decided that he was going to build a fence.
"I won't even have to look at his land."
So the second brother hires a contractor to lay the fence. After explaining to the carpenter what he wants and why, he takes off for town.
On his way into the driveway near his house, the second brother notices that the contractor hasn't built a fence. Instead, he built a bridge over the river. Fuming, the brother began to walk toward the bridge to confront the contractor. But he noticed that his brother was also walking toward the bridge, his hand outstretched.
"I can't believe you did this. I did so much to wrong you. I just can't believe you would offer this" said the first brother.
They embraced and reconciled.
Isn't that a beautiful story? Maybe I thought it was just because God's been having me apologize more in the last year of my life than I even have. I've said I'm sorry for big mistakes and small. Stuff I was only 5% responsible for and stuff that people should have totally walked away from me for. I've been brought to humbling places and I've been to places where I've prayed that the people would somehow forgive me.
There's fear in apologizing. There's fear in thinking of the rejection. But I've found that being quick to admit my faults is the safest place for me to be., especially right now. I'm learning how to surrender more everyday. And when it comes to others, I'm still learning how to surrender to Jesus' ability to build the bridge. Whether I'm at fault or not.

I have designed, assembled, and calibrated a sounding rocket payload to perform high-resolution FUV spectroscopy. Debate lingers over the existence of a pervasive 1 million K gas in our region of the interstellar medium, the Local Bubble. If this hot gas were present, it would produce O VI upon interacting with the cold cavity wall. As such, O VI serves as a diagnostic for the hot interstellar gas. I designed the Diffuse Interstellar Cloud Experiment (DICE) to measure the O VI (1032,1038 Angstrom) doublet in absorption against two stars on either side of the Local Bubble wall. The instrument is functionally a Cassegrain telescope followed by a modified Rowland-mount spectrograph. With a holographically-ruled grating and a secondary magnifying optic, the spectrograph can achieve high resolving power (R=60,000) in a compact space.
In addition, I have analyzed Carbon Monoxide (CO) emission from Classical T-Tauri star disks using spectra from the HST-Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. The CO is photo-excited by Lyman alpha from the magnetospheric shock. I model this incident Lyman alpha radiation to use as input for a simple CO fluorescence model. Fits to the data constrain CO temperatures and column densities, which can then be compared with other known properties of the disks in our target sample. I find no correlation between this UV-emitting CO and the CO studied at infrared and sub-mm wavelengths between targets.

Black Cop (2017)
Reviewed by: Sofiya Yamnyuk
Black Cop, a drama film presented at TIFF 2017 gave an eye opening view about current racial profiling and police violence. It is rated 14A and is directed by Cory Bowles. This Toronto film follows a black cop around as he impulsively decides to treat white civilians as black people are treated. It has opened my mind about the discrimination that happens in our society today. It was accurately rated.
Was there smoking in the movie? There were no smoking occurrences in this film.
What are the benefits of not having tobacco present on the screen? With tobacco absent from the film, the atmosphere, plot and emotional connection in the movie did not change.
Why do you think the movie-makers chose to keep tobacco out of this movie? Given the subject matter of the film, smoking would have not changed the emotional connection the audience felt with the topic of racial discrimination. The movie-makers decision to keep the movie smoke-free was a good one.
