The disappearing act…
Have you ever been in a relationship, it’s going along just fine when all of a sudden the guy just vanishes? No text, no phone call, not even a Facebook message and while you struggle to understand what the heck just happened he has decided to up and leave.
Out of all the break-ups that you could possibly endure the disappearing act may be one of the most painful. Why? Because everyone deserves to know why the other person left, even if the relationship wasn’t a good one. If you have ever had a break-up like this, I’m sorry because you deserve better and people that can’t be bothered to break-up with you don’t deserve to have you to begin with. It’s the biggest cop out of all.
So, while he is free to get on with his life, you are left wondering if he’s ever coming back. The worst part about the disappearing act is that no matter how many different ways you try to contact this person, he will not respond. It hurts and as much as you would have likes some closure, you won’t get it.
So, what does this mean? It’s time to move on. No, it won’t be easy and you will have to pick up the pieces bit by bit but what it doesn’t mean is the end of the world. Think of this as freedom from a relationship that wasn’t meant to be. You don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with you, especially someone who doesn’t have the guts to tell you that. Be strong ladies because it will hurt for a while but it will get better.

Current transformers must be manufactured according to their application in the circuit in which they are operating. Thus, current transformers are classified for measurement and protection.
The current transformers used in current or energy measurement are devices capable of transforming the load currents in the ratio of Ip / 5 generally, allowing the recording of values by the measuring instruments without being in direct connection with the primary circuit the installation.
Sporadically, current transformers with several cores are constructed, some for the measurement of energy and others, suitable for the protection service. However, the concessionaires normally specify in their standards separate units for their billing measurement, and the installation designer should reserve an independent unit for protection, when applicable.
In addition to representing high safety to operators and readers, current transformers are intended to protect measuring instruments against overloads or overcurrents of very high values. This is possible because its core is specified to enter saturation for currents greater than the rated current times the overcurrent factor. | <urn:uuid:418e01eb-ef7b-4326-bd82-b6370f17d6bd> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.editoradesiderata.com.br/transformers-for-measuring/ | 2018-06-24T22:26:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867095.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624215228-20180624235228-00071.warc.gz | en | 0.940226 | 200 | [

Government battles over right-to-die case
Italy’s government issued an emergency decree Friday to prevent a woman who has been in a vegetative state for 17 years from having her feeding tubes disconnected, but the president said he wouldn’t sign it.
The family of Eluana Englaro, 38, vowed to go ahead and disconnect the tubes, and her nutritional intake was being reduced. She has been in a vegetative state since a 1992 car crash.
RUSSIA Transit of U.S. supplies to Afghanistan allowed
Russia granted transit rights Friday to nonlethal U.S. military supplies headed to Afghanistan but only after apparently pressuring a former Soviet state to close an air base leased to the Americans.
The signal from Moscow is that Russia is willing to help on Afghanistan, but only on the Kremlin’s terms.
Kyrgyzstan announced the closure of the Manas air base but American officials suspect that Russia was behind the decision, having long been irritated by the U.S. presence in Central Asia. AUSTRALIA
Extreme danger from heat, wildfires
Volunteers battled to contain dozens of wildfires across southeastern Australia today as temperatures soared to record levels and officials warned conditions were perfect for a deadly inferno.
At least 40 fires were blazing in New South Wales state, and more burned in Victoria and South Australia. Most were in parks and bush land away from residential areas. Forecasters said a heat wave would peak with temperatures up to 117.

Do You Need an Attorney to Help File Your Car Accident Claim?
If you have received a car accident settlement offer from your insurance company, an attorney can help you get the best value for your claim. An insurance attorney familiar with settling car accident claims will be able to:
- Review your settlement offer to determine whether or not it is fair;
- Negotiate with the insurance company in an effort to increase the settlement;
- File a lawsuit should your insurance company stall negotiations.
Insurance companies often benefit from quickly-settled car accident claims because early offers can be low. Although closing the door on a car insurance process may be desirable, it is a good idea to err on the side of caution before agreeing to a settlement—particularly if you have a high-dollar claim.
TIP: Most car insurance attorneys offer free claim consultations, and contacting one does not obligate you to hire that attorney. Consulting with a lawyer before agreeing to a settlement can give you a better idea of the strength of your claim and legal options without costing you money. See Negotiating Fees with a Car Accident Lawyer for more.
Reviewing the Car Insurance Settlement Offer
Car insurance settlements are determined by the circumstances of the accident, the language of the car insurance policy, and the controlling law. An experienced attorney will understand how all three of these components come together when assessing the value of your claim. If the insurance company gives you a settlement offer lower than what you expected, an attorney can review the details and provide advice as to whether the value is appropriate given the situation and your insurance policy.
Tip: Car insurance companies make money by short-paying claims, and, like any business, making money is the primary objective. While this does not mean your insurance company is untrustworthy, it does suggest that you should be wary of any settlement offer and review the fine print closely before signing.
Negotiating with the Insurance Company
If the car accident settlement offered to you is lower than you are willing to accept, and you intend to negotiate a better offer, an attorney can be a valuable asset. Insurance companies have well-trained experts familiar with claim settlement negotiations, so you may be at a disadvantage before the bargaining even begins. Although you could get an increased offer by challenging the insurance company, it is difficult to maximize a settlement without assistance from an attorney.
A lawyer will approach the negotiation process with the experience and knowledge necessary to level the playing field. An attorney will know how to request damages beyond medical bills and vehicle repair costs, and attempt to include damages for pain and suffering or loss of income that go beyond what a basic policy may cover. A lawyer will also be able to put increased pressure on the insurance company by being savvy enough to pursue litigation should negotiations break down.
Tip: Negotiating a car accident settlement will mean that it takes longer for you to collect the insurance payout, however, if you can afford to do so, being patient can pay off with a higher settlement in the end.
Filing a Car Accident Lawsuit
Should you be unable to agree on a fair car accident settlement, a lawsuit against the insurance company becomes a realistic option. In this event, a car insurance attorney is a necessity and should be contacted before any legal action is filed. Auto insurance settlements that are contentious to the point of litigation involve difficult questions of fact and law that will be decided based on the strength of legal arguments that laypeople are unprepared to pursue.
Consulting a Car Insurance Attorney
Although the value of hiring an attorney varies with each situation, having experienced legal counsel will help anyone injured in a car accident improve their chances of getting a high claim settlement. Attorneys take a portion of the final amount, and settlement negotiations will delay your payout; but more often than not, it is worth the added cost—particularly with high dollar claims. When considering a car insurance settlement, remember to be patient, consider all of your options, and reach out to an attorney for a free consultation before accepting money from your insurance company.

Metal Backsplash Ideas
Fanciful swirling metal pulls, fun red sculptural wall elements and a copper backsplash break free of the ordinary. Two sinks and two pullout trash containers eliminate prep conflicts. Generous counter areas avoid bottlenecks for large prep, along with two appliance garages.
Backsplash materials run the gamut from tile to stone to wood, but metal kitchen backsplash ideas abound as well, and they can add a substantial, modern feel to any kitchen design.
There are several types of metal that lend themselves particularly well to backsplash designs, and each comes with a range of pros and cons.
A good place to start when planning to add a metal backsplash to your kitchen design is with the overall scope of the project. You'll need to define the square footage the backsplash will cover in order to estimate the amount of metal and other materials you'll need for your backsplash. Obviously, this scoping exercise will go a long way to defining the required budget for your project, so you'll want to make sure it's the first step you take. To calculate the amount of material you'll need, first decide if you want your backsplash to cover the entirety of the wall space above your countertops or just a portion thereof. Once you've decided on the amount of coverage, mark the area off and measure the square footage.
When the scope of the metal backsplash project has been defined, you'll want to begin thinking about which metal you want to feature in your backsplash design. One of the more common metal backsplash choices is stainless steel. Popular in recent times as an appliance feature, stainless steel has begun to appear more and more in backsplashes as its bright, reflective, easy-to-clean surface makes it an attractive and efficient choice.
Punched or hammered tin is another metal that's becoming more common in backsplashes—it can add a great deal of texture and weight to any kitchen design, and it's also durable and easily maintained. Copper and brass are two more metals that many homeowners feature in backsplashes. Each of these metals offers the added benefit of "evolving" over time—exposure to air and moisture can cause slight or even drastic color variations over time, often deepening their hue or resulting in attractive striations and patterns.
One you've decided on the right metal for your kitchen backsplash design, it's time to begin construction. You'll have two options here—hire a contractor to install the metal backsplash for you, or go the DIY route and install it yourself (or, if you're lucky, with some assistance from friends and family). Depending on the complexity and size of the project, you may be able to save a considerable amount of money by installing the backsplash yourself. On the other hand, hiring a contractor will save you time, and you won't have to break a sweat; this is an especially attractive option if you've never installed tile before or aren't particularly handy.

The Second Council of Lyons was one of the most largely attended of conciliar assemblies, there being present five hundred bishops, sixty abbots, more than a thousand prelates or procurators. Gregory X, who presided, had been a canon of Lyons; Peter of Tarentaise, who assisted as Cardinal-Bishop of Ostia, had been Archbishop of Lyons. It opened 7 May, 1274, in the church of St. John. There were five other sessions (18 May, 7 June, 6 July, 16 July, 17 July). At the second session Gregory X owing to the excessive numbers rejected the proxies of chapters, abbots, and unmitred priors, except those who had been summoned by name. Among those who attended the council were James I, King of Aragon, the ambassadors of the Kings of France and England, the ambassadors of the Emperor Michael Palaeologus and the Greek clergy, the ambassadors of the Khan of the Tatars. The conquest of the Holy Land and the union of the Churches were the two ideas for the realization of which Gregory X had convoked the council.
Despite the protest of Richard of Mapham, dean of Lincoln, he obtained that during the six years for the benefit of the crusade a tithe of all the benefices of Christendom should go to the pope, but when James I, King of Aragon, wished to organize the expedition at once the representatives of the Templars opposed the project, and a decision was postponed. Ambassadors of the Khan of Tatary arrived at Lyons, 4 July, to treat with Gregory X, who desired that during the war against Islam the Tatars should leave the Christians in peace. Two of the ambassadors were solemnly baptized 16 July.
Gregory X had prepared for the union by sending in 1273 an embassy to Constantinople to Michael Palaeologus, and by inducing Charles, King of Sicily, and Philip, Latin Emperor of Constantinople, to moderate their political ambitions. On 24 June, 1274, there arrived at Lyons as representatives of Palaeologus, Germanus, Patriarch of Constantinople, Theophanes, Bishop of Nicæa, Georgius Acropolita, senator and great logothete, Nicholas Panaretus, president of the ward-robe, Berrhoeota, chief interpreter, and Georgius Zinuchi. The letter from Palaeologus which they presented had been written in the name of fifty archbishops and five hundred bishops or synods. On 29 June, the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Gregory X celebrated Mass in the church of St. John, the Epistle, Gospel and Creed were read or sung in Latin and Greek, the article "qui a patre filioque procedit" was sung three times by the Greeks. On 6 July, after a sermon by Peter of Tarentaise and the public reading of the letter of Palaeologus, Georgius Acropolita and the other ambassadors promised fidelity to the Latin Church, abjured twenty-six propositions which it denied, and promised the protection of the emperor to the Christians of the Holy Land. Gregory X intoned the "Te "Deum", spoke on the text "Desiderio desideravi hoc pascha manducare vobiscum", and on 28 July wrote joyful letters to Michael, to his son Andronicus, and forty-one metropolitans. Three letters dated February, 1274, written to the pope by Michael and Andronicus, in which they recognized his supremacy, exist as proofs of the emperor's good faith, despite the efforts to throw doubt on it by means of a letter of Innocent V (1276) which seems to point to the conclusion that Georgius Acropolita, who at the council had promised fidelity to the Roman Church, had not been expressly authorized by the emperor.
The Council of Lyons dealt also with the reform of the Church, in view of which Gregory X in 1273 had addressed questions to the bishops and asked of Hubert de Romans, the former general of the Friars Preachers, a certain programme for discussion and of John of Vercelli, the new general of the order, a draft of formal constitutions. Henri of Gölder, Bishop of Liège, Frederick, Abbot of St. Paul without the Walls, the Bishops of Rhodes and of Würzburg were deposed for unworthiness, and certain mendicant orders were suppressed. The council warmly approved the two orders of St. Dominic and St. Francis. Fearing the opposition of the King of Spain who had in his kingdom three religious military orders, the idea was abandoned of forming all military orders into one. Gregory X, to avoid a repetition of the too lengthy vacancies of the papal see, caused it to be decided that the cardinals should not leave the conclave till the pope had been elected. This constitution which inflicted certain material privations on the cardinals if the election was too long delayed, was suspended in 1276 by Adrian V, and a few months later revoked by John XXI, but was re-established later in many of its articles, and is even yet the basis of legislation on the conclaves. Lastly the Council of Lyons dealt with the vacancy of the imperial throne. James I of Aragon pretended to it; Gregory X removed him and on 6 June Rudolph I was proclaimed King of the Romans and future emperor. Such was the work of the council during which died the two greatest doctors of the Middle Ages. St. Thomas Aquinas, summoned by the pope, died at Frosinone (7 March, 1274) on his way to Lyons. St. Bonaventure, after important interviews at the Council with the Greek ambassadors, died 15 July, at Lyons, and was praised by Peter of Tarentaise, the future Innocent V, in a touching funeral sermon.

Do what rasmataz suggested.
If it switches off like a light (instantly), then it is loss of spark. Loss of fuel pressure would cause the engine to slowly die-out.
Crankshaft or camshaft position sensor sensor could cause immediate stalling (switching off), as would a faulty ECM Power
What size engine (or engine code) are you dealing with.

Nothing says Halloween like trick-or-treating, candy apples, and throwing bean bags at tombstones with the president’s name. Such was this elementary school’s idea of a good time for a Halloween fundraising event. Of course, good ideas seem to be in short supply as of late (see UMass Issues ‘Threat’ Chart for Halloween. It’s Even Color-Coded! and #SJW Feminists Try to Ruin Halloween. Let’s Laugh At Them…).
Kids tossing bean bags at a mock tombstone for President Trump at a public school was a “despicable” display of dirty politics the adults forced on the unwitting children, a Gloucester Republican official said, as the furor continued to grow.
The incident occurred Friday, the school’s principal said. The tombstone was intended to be a “humorous” game during the fundraiser, school officials said.
Interesting. Would school officials also find it humorous if the tombstone read “Barack Hussein Obama”? Asking for a friend.
West Parish Principal Telena S. Imel said in a letter to parents: “On Friday evening, the West Parish Grade 5 Parent Committee hosted Haunted Happenings, a party and fundraiser for the West Parish Community. … Unfortunately, however, one game brought in by a parent included the name of our president painted on a tombstone.
“While, according to the parent, this was designed to be humorous, a number of attendees rightfully felt that it showed disrespect … it inappropriately brought a political agenda into what was designed to be a fun family affair.”
Big fat duh on that one. “Fun family affair,” especially around Halloween, needn’t get political. There are a lot more funnier deaths. What about “Pennywise” on a tomb? Or even just “All creepy clowns”?
The letter added that the school will be more diligent to make sure it is not used as a place to spread political messages.
“What saddens me most is that some of our families were understandably uncomfortable while attending this event,” Imel’s letter said.
Funnier things for adults to write on faux tombstones, I just thought up after looking at the above photo:
- Spider in My Shower
- Milk in the Back of the Fridge
- Inspirational Skinny Jeans
- Diet Goals
- Amy Schumer’s Comedy Career
Ideas. Just ideas.
The incident was condemned by school officials after the outrage so at least that’s something. They didn’t seem to have a problem with the game before the complaints though. Perhaps they want to help children master the fine art of fostering death wishes. They should also hand out pencils and paper so children can compile a thorough list of people they would like dead. Teaching is caring. | <urn:uuid:0190f64a-b3fb-4af9-bfee-600bb05d554d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.louderwithcrowder.com/elementary-school-game-donald-trump-tombstone/ | 2018-06-21T00:16:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863980.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621001211-20180621021211-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.960069 | 618 | [

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook
“every visitor on this hall,” stated Dumbledore, and his eyes lingered upon the Durmstrang scholars, “shall be welcomed back here at any time, must they desire to come. I say to you all, as soon as once more in the light of Lord Voldemort’s return, we’re most effective as powerful as we’re united, as susceptible as we’re divided. Lord Voldemorts reward for spreading discord and enmity may be very satisfactory. We are able to combat it handiest by using displaying an equally strong bond of friendship and trust. Differences of dependancy and language are nothing at all if our ambitions are equal and our hearts are open.
“it’s my perception and not ever have I so hoped that i am flawed that we are all dealing with dark and intricate occasions. Some of you on this hall have already suffered straight at the hands of Lord Voldemort. Lots of your households have been torn asunder. Every week in the past, a student used to be taken from our midst.
“consider Cedric. Do not forget, if the time will have to come whilst you must make a alternative between what is right and what’s effortless, bear in mind what occurred to a boy who was excellent, and form, and courageous, considering that he strayed across the path of Lord
Voldemort. Bear in mind Cedric Diggory.”
Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online)’s trunk used to be packed; Hedwig was back in her cage on prime of it. He, Ron, and Hermione were waiting within the crowded entrance corridor with the leisure of the fourth years for the carriages that would take them again to Hogsmeade station. It was one other beautiful summer’s day. He supposed that Privet power could be scorching and leafy, its flower beds a rebellion of colour, when he arrived there that evening. The concept gave him no pleasure at all.
He regarded round. Fleur Delacour used to be hurrying up the stone steps into the fortress.
Past her, far across the grounds. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) might see Hagrid serving to Madame Maxime to again two of the massive horses into their harness. The Beauxbatons carriage used to be about to take off.
“we can see each uzzer again, I ‘ope,” mentioned Fleur as she reached him, maintaining out her hand. “i am ‘oping to get a job ‘ere, to make stronger my Eenglish.”
“it’s very good already,” mentioned Ron in a strangled style of voice. Fleur smiled at him; Hermione scowled.
“just rightbye, ‘Arry,” stated Fleur, turning to head. “It ‘az been a pleasure meeting you!”
Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online)s spirits couldn’t help however carry somewhat as he watched Fleur hurry back throughout the lawns to Madame Maxime, her silvery hair rippling in the sunlight.
Marvel how the Durmstrang students are getting back,” said Ron. “D’ you reckon they are able to steer that ship without Karkaroff?”
“Karkaroff did not steer,” said a gruff voice. “He stayed in his cabin and allow us to do the vork.”
Krum had come to assert goodbye to Hermione. “would i’ve a vord?” he requested her.
“Oh . . . Yes … All right,” stated Hermione, looking reasonably flustered, and following Krum by way of the group and out of sight.
“you would better hurry up!” Ron referred to as loudly after her. “The carriages’ll be right here in a minute!”
He let Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) maintain a watch for the carriages, nonetheless, and spent the next few minutes craning his neck over the crowd to take a look at and spot what Krum and Hermione possibly up to. They lower back rather quickly. Ron stared at Hermione, however her face was rather emotionless.
“I preferred Diggory,” said Krum abruptly to Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online). “He vos alvays well mannered to me.
Alvays. Even though I vos from Durmstrang with Karkaroff,” he added, scowling.
“have you bought a new headmaster yet?” mentioned Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) Krum shrugged. He held out his hand as Fleur had executed, shook Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online)’s hand, and then Ron’s. Ron regarded as though he was struggling some type of painful inner wrestle. Krum had already started running away when Ron burst out, “Can i have your autograph?”
Hermione turned away, smiling on the horseless carriages that have been now trundling toward them up the pressure, as Krum, looking amazed but gratified, signed a fragment of parchment for Ron.
The climate could no longer have been more one of a kind on the journey back to King’s cross than it had been on their method to Hogwarts the previous September. There wasn’t a single cloud within the sky. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), Ron, and Hermione had managed to get a compartment to themselves. Pigwidgeon used to be once again hidden underneath Rons gown robes to discontinue him from hooting continuously; Hedwig was once slumbering, her head underneath her wing, and Crookshanks was curled up in a spare seat like a tremendous, furry ginger cushion. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), Ron, and Hermione talked more fully and freely than that they had all week as the train sped them southward. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) felt as if Dumbledore’s speech at the Leaving Feast had unblocked him, one way or the other. It used to be less painful to talk about what had happened now. They broke off their dialog about what action Dumbledore might be taking, even now, to stop Voldemort handiest when the lunch trolley arrived.
When Hermione returned from the trolley and put her money back into her schoolbag, she dislodged a replica of the everyday Prophet that she had been carrying in there. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) checked out it, unsure whether or not he really desired to know what it could say, but Hermione, seeing him watching at it, stated lightly, “there’s nothing in there.
Which you can look for your self, but there may be nothing at all. I have been checking daily.
Only a small piece the day after the 1/3 mission pronouncing you gained the event. They failed to even mention Cedric. Nothing about any of it. In case you ask me. Fudge is forcing them to keep quiet.”
“He’ll in no way hold Rita quiet,” mentioned Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online). “not on a story like this.”
“Oh, Rita hasn’t written something at all due to the fact the 0.33 challenge,” stated Hermione in an oddly constrained voice. “in reality,” she delivered, her voice now trembling somewhat, “Rita Skeeter is not going to be writing whatever at fascinated about a while. No longer until she desires me to spill the beans on her.”
“What are you talking about?” mentioned Ron.
“I found out how she was once listening in on confidential conversations when she wasn’t imagined to be coming onto the grounds,” stated Hermione in a rush.
Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) had the affect that Hermione had been dying to inform them this for days, but that she had restrained herself in light of everything else that had occurred.
“How was she doing it?” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) immediately.
“How did you discover?” said Ron, staring at her.
“well, it was you, relatively, who gave me the notion. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online),” she said.
“Did I?” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), at a loss for words. “How?”
“Bugging,” stated Hermione happily.
“but you said they failed to work ”
“Oh now not digital bugs,” mentioned Hermione. “No, you see … Rita Skeeter” Hermiones voice trembled with quiet triumph “is an unregistered Animagus. She will be able to turn ”
Hermione pulled a small sealed glass jar out other bag.
“ right into a beetle.”
“you are kidding,” stated Ron. “you haven’t.. . She’s no longer…”
“Oh sure she is,” mentioned Hermione happily, brandishing the jar at them.
Inside have been a few twigs and leaves and one significant, fats beetle.
“that’s not ever you are kidding ” Ron whispered, lifting the jar to his eyes.
“No, i am now not,” said Hermione, beaming. “I caught her on the windowsill within the hospital wing. Look very closely, and you can discover the markings round her antennae are exactly like those foul glasses she wears.”
Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) seemed and saw that she was relatively proper. He also remembered anything.
“There was once a beetle on the statue the night time we heard Hagrid telling Madame Maxime about his mum!”
“precisely,” said Hermione. “And Viktor pulled a beetle out of my hair after we might had our conversation by way of the lake. And unless i am very a lot wrong, Rita was perched on the windowsill of the Divination class the day your scar hurt. She’s been buzzing round for stories all yr.”
“when we noticed Malfoy under that tree …” stated Ron slowly.
“He was talking to her, in his hand,” mentioned Hermione. “He knew, of course. That is how she’s been getting all those pleasant little interviews with the Slytherins. They would not care that she was doing whatever unlawful, as long as they have been giving her horrible stuff about us and Hagrid.”
Hermione took the glass jar back from Ron and smiled on the beetle, which buzzed angrily in opposition to the glass.
“I’ve informed her i will let her out after we get back to London,” mentioned Hermione. “I’ve put an Unbreakable allure on the jar, you see, so she are not able to change into. And i’ve
informed her she’s to maintain her quill to herself for a whole year. See if she can not ruin the habit of writing horrible lies about individuals.”
Smiling serenely, Hermione positioned the beetle back inside of her schoolbag.
The door of the compartment slid open.
“Very clever. Granger,” mentioned Draco Malfoy.
Crabbe and Goyle were standing behind him. All three of them seemed extra cheerful with themselves, extra smug and extra menacing, than Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) had ever noticeable them.
“So,” stated Malfoy slowly, advancing slightly into the compartment and watching slowly round at them, a smirk quivering on his lips. “You caught some pathetic reporter, and Potter’s Dumbledore’s favorite boy once more. Massive deal.”
His smirk widened. Crabbe and Goyle leered.
“trying not to suppose about it, are we?” mentioned Malfoy softly, watching round at all three of them. “seeking to pretend it hasn’t occurred?”
“Get out,” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online).
He had now not been this virtually Malfoy considering the fact that he had watched him muttering to Crabbe and Goyle for the duration of Dumbledores speech about Cedric. He might believe a kind of ringing in his ears. His hand gripped his wand under his robes.
“you have got picked the losing side, Potter! I warned you! I informed you you have got to decide on your enterprise more carefully, remember? Once we met on the train, first day at Hogwarts? I informed you to not hang round with riffraff like this!” He jerked his head at Ron and Hermione. “Too late now. Potter! They’ll be the primary to go, now the dark Lord’s again! Mudbloods and Muggleenthusiasts first! Good 2nd Diggory was once the f”
It used to be as if anyone had exploded a box of fireworks within the compartment. Blinded via the blaze of the spells that had blasted from every direction, deafened via a series of bangs, Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) blinked and looked down on the floor.
Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle have been all mendacity unconscious in the doorway. He, Ron, and Hermione had been on their feet, all three of them having used a different hex.
Nor have been they the only ones to have executed so.
“suggestion we would see what these three were as much as,” mentioned Fred matteroffactly, stepping onto Goyle and into the compartment. He had his wand out, and so did George, who was cautious to tread on Malfoy as he adopted Fred inside.
“exciting effect,” stated George, looking down at Crabbe. “Who used the Furnunculus Curse?”
“Me,” said Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online).
“bizarre,” said George frivolously. “I used JellyLegs. Appears as if these two just isn’t blended. He appears to have sprouted little tentacles everywhere his face.
Good, let’s not go away them here, they do not add a lot to the decor.”
Ron, Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), and George kicked, rolled, and pushed the unconscious Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle every of whom regarded surprisingly the more severe for the jumble of jinxes with which they’d been hit out into the corridor, then came again into the compartment and rolled the door shut.
“Exploding Snap, anybody?” stated Fred, pulling out a p.C. Of cards.
They were halfway via their fifth sport when Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) determined to ask them.
“You going to inform us, then?” he mentioned to George. “Who you had been blackmailing?”
“Oh,” stated George darkly. “That.”
“it isn’t important,” stated Fred, shaking his head impatiently. “It wasn’t something foremost. Now not now, anyway.”
“now we have given up,” stated George, shrugging.
But Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), Ron, and Hermione saved on asking, and ultimately, Fred said, “All proper, all right, for those who fairly need to understand … It used to be Ludo Bagman.”
“Bagman?” mentioned Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) sharply. “Are you announcing he was concerned in ”
“Nah,” mentioned George gloomily. “Nothing like that. Silly git. He should not have the brains.”
“good, what, then?” stated Ron.
Fred hesitated, then stated, “You take into account that bet we had with him at the Quidditch World Cup? About how eire would win, however Krum would get the Snitch?”
“Yeah,” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) and Ron slowly.
“well, the git paid us in leprechaun gold he’d caught from the Irish mascots.”
“So,” mentioned Fred impatiently, “it vanished, didn’t it? With the aid of next morning, it had gone!”
“but it have to’ve been an accident, mustn’t it?” stated Hermione.
George laughed very bitterly.
“Yeah, that’s what we thought, to start with. We proposal if we just wrote to him, and instructed him he’d made a mistake, he’d cough up. However nothing doing. Not noted our
letter. We kept seeking to speak to him about it at Hogwarts, but he was continuously making some excuse to get away from us.”
“ultimately, he turned beautiful nasty,” stated Fred. “told us we have been too young to gamble, and he wasn’t giving us whatever.”
“So we asked for our a refund,” stated George glowering.
“He didn’t refuse!” gasped Hermione.
“right in one,” mentioned Fred.
“however that was all of your savings!” stated Ron.
“inform me about it,” said George. “‘direction, we found out what was going on finally. Lee Jordan’s dad had had a bit of of main issue getting money off Bagman as well.
Seems he is in big predicament with the goblins. Borrowed a number of gold off them. A gang of them cornered him in the woods after the world Cup and took all the gold he had, and it nonetheless wasn’t ample to quilt all his debts. They followed him all of the way to Hogwarts to hold a watch on him. He’s lost the whole thing playing. Hasn’t received two Galleons to rub together. And you understand how the fool tried to pay the goblins again?”
“How?” mentioned Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online).
“He put a chance on you, mate,” said Fred. “Put a big guess on you to win the tournament. Guess towards the goblins.”
“So that is why he stored seeking to support me win!” mentioned Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online). “good I did win, did not I? So he can pay you your gold!”
“Nope,” mentioned George, shaking his head. “The goblins play as dirty as him. They are saying you drew with Diggory, and Bagman was once making a bet you’ll win outright. So Bagman had to run for it. He did run for it proper after the 0.33 task.”
George sighed deeply and started dealing out the cards once more.
The leisure of the ride passed pleasantly sufficient; Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) wished it might have gone on all summer season, actually, and that he would never arrive at King’s move . . . But as he had discovered the tough method that year, time is not going to slow down when whatever disagreeable lies ahead, and all too soon, the Hogwarts specific used to be pulling in at platform nine and threequarters. The common confusion and noise filled the corridors as the students started to disembark. Ron and Hermione struggled out past Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, carrying their trunks. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), nonetheless, stayed put.
“Fred George wait a second.”
The twins turned. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) pulled open his trunk and drew out his Triwizard winnings.
“Take it,” he said, and he thrust the sack into George’s hands.
“What?” mentioned Fred, watching flabbergasted.
“Take it,” Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) repeated firmly. “I don’t want it.”
“you are intellectual,” said George, seeking to push it back at Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online).
“No, i’m now not,” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online). “you take it, and get inventing. It’s for the funny story retailer.”
“he’s intellectual,” Fred stated in an almost awed voice.
“pay attention,” stated Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) firmly. “when you do not take it, i am throwing it down the drain. I do not need it and i are not looking for it. But I might do with a number of laughs. We could all do with a few laughs. I’ve received a feeling we’ll need them more than natural before lengthy.”
“Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online),” mentioned George weakly, weighing the money bag in his fingers, “there is bought to be a thousand Galleons in right here.”
“Yeah,” said Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online), grinning. “feel how many Canary creams that is.”
The twins stared at him.
“just do not inform your mum the place you received it… Even though she might no longer be so eager so that you can join the Ministry anymore, come to suppose of it. . . .”
“Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online),” Fred started, but Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) pulled out his wand.
“seem,” he stated flatly, “take it, or i will hex you. I do know some excellent ones now. Just do me one desire, ok? Purchase Ron some one-of-a-kind costume robes and say they may be from you.”
He left the compartment before they could say another phrase, stepping over Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who have been still lying on the floor, blanketed in hex marks.
Uncle Vernon was ready beyond the barrier. Mrs. Weasley used to be close by using him.
She hugged Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) very tightly when she saw him and whispered in his ear, “I consider Dumbledore will let you come to us later in the summertime. Maintain in contact, Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online).”
“See you. Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online),” stated Ron, clapping him on the back.
“‘Bye, Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online)!” stated Hermione, and he or she did some thing she had certainly not finished earlier than, and kissed him on the cheek.
“Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) thanks,” George muttered, whilst Fred nodded fervently at his aspect.
Harry (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook Online) winked at them, became to Uncle Vernon, and adopted him silently from the station. There was no factor stressful but, he told himself, as he obtained into the back of the Dursleys’ automobile.
As Hagrid had stated, what would come, would come … And he would have to meet it when it did. | <urn:uuid:09d8b070-7615-47ed-bc20-b91d970ee368> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://harrypotteraudiobookfree.com/harry-potter-and-the-goblet-of-fire-audiobook-2/23/ | 2018-06-22T01:20:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864337.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622010629-20180622030629-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.965656 | 5,344 | [

The Little House is situated in the village of Mells a largely unspoilt Somerset village built mainly of Bath stone. The village dates back to the 11th century, and is thought to be one of the prettiest in Somerset. It has a traditional pub (The Talbot Inn), a village shop & cafe, a church, and many historic buildings. These are all within walking distance of The Little House.
In the immediate area is the local market town, Frome which has markets on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Also close by is the historic city of Wells and its magnificent cathedral, hippie heaven Glastonbury, Street (famous for its shopping village), and Longleat House, garden and wildlife park.

There is a lot to see in Bath - the Roman Baths, the Pump Rooms, the Assembly Rooms, the Costume Museum and the excellent shopping.
Further afield, Bristol is about one hours drive, the south coast and its lovely beaches and coastal villages is about 1-2 hours, and the cathedral city of Salisbury and the world heritage site of Stonehenge about one hour away. There is a good bus service in the village with buses every hour to Frome and Bath. | <urn:uuid:2ed6f788-a063-450b-b900-b935938b58e9> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p1018400 | 2018-06-22T01:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864337.41/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622010629-20180622030629-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.963315 | 479 | [

To lose weight, you need to get in tune with your eating behaviors. These three strategies will help bring them into focus.
1. Write Down What You Eat for 3 Days
The first step in reversing mindless eating is to put real effort into becoming aware of how you eat.
Tip: Jot It Down
Use a notebook specifically for the purpose of recording every bite of food and sip of drink for three days. Include time, portion sizes, location of meal or snack, reason for eating (hunger? stress?), and who was with you. Look for patterns and make changes where you see bad habits.
2. Study Your Eating Environment
Surroundings make a difference! Many of us eat in stressful or distracting areas, such as a work cubicle or the car while driving.
Tip: Find a Calm Spot
Make an effort to eat your meals and snacks in a relaxing place, such as a park bench or outside on your patio. At home, turn off the TV while you eat. These simple changes can make a difference in how satisfied you are once you are finished.
3. Monitor Boredom
Distinguishing true hunger from “head hunger” can be a challenge, especially when you have too much free time.
Tip: Find a New Hobby
Consider learning a new skill that engages your creativity and districts you from thinking about food. Knitting, gardening, scrapbooking, or putting together a puzzle can help extinguish food and eating “chatter” and help you get in touch with feelings of actual hunger versus perceived hunger.

Which Vehicle Parts to utilize for Repairs
Auto Repair Open Sunday
Which Car Parts to Use for Repairs
There are many options to choose from when it comes to an automobile it doesn't work ever again: it could be junked, a fresh car can be bought, the automobile can be set, accommodations car can be used for the time being, or a family member's can may also be used for the time being. There are a plethora of ideas that can be chosen from if one has a faltering car, though, the best thing to do would just repair the car that doesn't work any longer. This may also be harder than it looks, though, because of the fact that auto parts are expensive nowadays, labor is expensive when getting maintenance done at an auto repair shop, and there are many choices to make in regards to what kind of repairs have to be made anyway.
One issue that lots of people offer with when correcting their car by themselves or having an auto repair shop fix their car is which kind of auto parts they will be using. You will discover in essence two types of vehicle parts you can use to fix an automobile, and they both will be explained, as well as the pros and downsides of using each type of vehicle part.
The first kind of car part that involves mind when restoring one's car is OEM car parts. The term "OEM" means "original equipment manufacturer," which means that OEM automobile parts come directly from the business that made the car to begin with. Quite simply, if a person's Chevrolet Cavalier were to are unsuccessful because of the alternator or basic then an OEM alternator or beginner could be purchased to be able to repair the car. The benefit for buying oe manufacturer auto parts is the fact that there will generally be a guarantee on the part that is bought. In addition, an example may be usually guaranteed that the part will continue to work and fit the car on the first try.
A downside to buying OEM auto parts is the actual fact they are generally much more expensive that other styles of auto parts. Whereas other automobile parts may be around $50, the same auto parts that are bought from the OEM may be up to $150. The purchase price makes all the difference, too, when fixing your car, so that it may not necessarily behoove you to buy OEM vehicle parts.
On the other hand, the other type of auto parts that may be purchased when mending a car is after-market car parts, or automobile parts that are created for the same automobile by third-parties. These car parts are usually much better to run into, and more auto repair shops and retail stores generally hold after-market vehicle parts instead of OEM auto parts. That is one of the best advantages to buying those types of automobile parts, but another is they are significantly less expensive than OEM vehicle parts. This is touched on within the last paragraph about OEM parts, but after-market auto parts are usually 50% or even more less than the initial manufacturer's auto parts.
All things considered, it is really up to the person and the situation when the car is being repaired. Many people choose OEM auto parts just because they are the safest kind of parts to go with, but quarrels for third-party vehicle parts are because they're much cheaper tend to be more accessible. All in all, though, there are types of options and decisions to make while looking for auto parts to repair your car! | <urn:uuid:04d321d3-680a-4647-b1c2-2566b0f9cb26> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://autorepairopensunday42840.isblog.net/which-vehicle-parts-to-utilize-for-repairs-5737912 | 2018-06-24T01:18:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865995.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624005242-20180624025242-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.968135 | 705 | [

Every year in the winter, we head to a destination with snow. Last year we went to Park City, UT and this year to Winter Park, CO. We flew Southwest direct from SNA (1 hour, 40 minute flight), rented a car, and drove the 2 hours to Winter Park. We arrived on Friday evening and left Monday, which was the perfect amount of time in the snow.
We stayed at the Vintage Hotel, which is in an excellent location. From our window, we could see the tubing area and it was a short 3 minute walk to get there. You could also access the Winter Park Village easily, a short cabriolet ride that you pick up in front of the hotel. The village has lots of stores, restaurants and of course access to ski slopes. The hotel itself is dated, however the location makes it an excellent choice when visiting the area. Our room had a fireplace and a kitchenette, with a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, stove, coffee maker and was fully stocked with dishes and pretty much everything you’d need to prepare simple meals. There are several hotels in the village area, right near the ski slopes, but I’m not sure how they compare to the one we stayed at so you may want to find out especially if you plan on skiing during your stay.
One of the most popular things for families with young kids is tubing. Since the Coca-Cola Tubing was just steps from our room, it was a no brainer and we went there. We had advance reservations, which I highly recommend, since our time and several others were sold out when we checked in. We had a blast, and because they limit the number of people per hour, you never had to wait more than a minute to go down the hill. They have four lanes and tell you which are fast and which are slow. Of course, Milana preferred the super fast ones! Everyone gets their own tube (so much safer than having lap kids!) and you’re allowed to hold on to your child’s so you can go together. There were also tandem tubes, but those were super slow so I don’t recommend them. The tube bottom color makes a difference too, the ones with the white bottom are the fastest. I highly recommend this if you have young kids!
My favorite part was not having to walk up the hill after going down, but instead taking the covered magic carpet back to the top.
I have to mention the most amazing mittens I found for Milana. We have gone through so many, and none worked this well. These are seriously the best things ever and didn’t fall off once. She loved them and said they are the best gloves she has ever had. I highly recommend these! There is no wrong way to put them on (no finger/thumb holes) and they go up to almost the elbow, where you can tighten the strap, so they are not likely to fall off. They are called Veyo Mittyz and you can buy them on Amazon by clicking on the highlighted name.
That evening, we had a reservation for a hot cocoa sleigh ride in Snow Mountain Ranch. It was awesome and the scenery on the trail was just gorgeous! The horses were very friendly and well taken care of, which was very important to us.
Milana loved roasting (and eating!) the marshmallows. And we enjoyed the hot chocolate, after a frigid ride!
And the scenery in the middle of nowhere was just spectacular! So much snow, it’s a true winter wonderland. I highly recommend the hot cocoa ride if you have small kids, it’s not too long and the marshmallow roasting is fun for kids.
The next day, Dave did a snowmobile tour with Grand Adventures, and while kids are allowed, I figured Milana would be bored sitting on the back of a snowmobile for an hour. So instead, we dropped him off and headed to the area where they rent out kid snowmobiles, and it was a great choice! She had so much fun and did amazingly well. Do this if you come here with kids! They have to be 5 years old to participate and it’s $20 for 5 laps, which is plenty for little ones.
Aside from the Winter Park Village that’s near the hotel, Winter Park has a downtown as well. We walked around, checking out the stores and restaurants but I don’t recommend it. There isn’t much there, and the village was much cuter than the downtown.
Overall, this was a super fun weekend. While Winter Park isn’t as easily accessible as some of the other winter destinations, the roads were plowed and well maintained, making the drive easy. If you’re looking for some winter fun with kids, this is a great place to visit! | <urn:uuid:acfed938-b86b-4755-8651-12c3780877ab> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://milanastravels.com/2017/02/07/winter-park-travel-with-kids/ | 2018-06-24T01:43:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267865995.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624005242-20180624025242-00111.warc.gz | en | 0.983142 | 1,010 | [

The chief reason for all my comic book research is because I'm creating a graphic novel for an assignment. More on that later. My research also came in handy when a friend asked me to sketch a superhero character for a pitch!
This is Ryder. Bad-ass. A relatively quick sketch done in pencils and heavily modified in Photoshop. In retrospect, I think I should have used less grainy paper. It's a little too rough. However, I like the general design, and especially the mask! He was inspired by a collection of superheroes - The Black Panther, Gambit (X-Men), Batman, Neo (The Matrix) and Nite Owl (Watchmen).
Now onto my comic book (which does not yet have a name). My idea somewhat inspired by 'Inception' and 'The Sandman'. I've come up with a rather complicated plot about 'Dreamweavers' who are servants of the great Dream Lord Morpheus (nothing to do with 'The Sandman' however). Dreamweavers are responsible for creating the dreams of humans, and each Dreamweaver specialises in different kinds of dreams.
This is 'The Evolo'. She is the creator of escapist dreams. The idea is that these dreamweavers are made of 'dreamstuff' and only exist in dreams - thus why her legs are part of her skirt which is actually the ground. They weave the material around them to create landscapes for dreams. I wanted lots of billowing fabrics for my Dreamweavers. Like the Sandman, their clothes are constantly changing in size and shape because the material is transitory and always shifting - such are dreams. This design was inspired by Storm (X-Men), Emma Frost (X-Men) and Dream (The Sandman). I like the background of this illustration. It has a nice flow.
This is the juxtaposition of The Evolo. This is The Marre. He is the creator of the inescapable nightmare. The darkest and cruellest illusions that you cannot wake up from - those are the work of this dreamweaver. Although he is a juxtaposition of The Evolo, I wanted his clothes and his face to somewhat have a resemblence to The Evolo, to suggest that they two are infact not so different. He too has the billowing fabrics which he weaves nightmares out of. I originaly planned for him to be a very beautiful character, as his personality is going to be charming, witty and sweeping. By accident, I made him too manly. Now he appears as a fierce brute, though that wasn't my intention. Inspirations were Dream (The Sandman), Sephiroth (Final Fantasy) and Quinlan Vos (Star Wars). And yes, he has some weird-looking abs.
These are the faces of The Evolo and The Marre. As superhero characters, I wanted them to have masks of some kind, but I disliked the idea of hiding too much of their faces, so I went with tattoos instead. The Evolo's tattoos are largely Art Nouveau inspired, whereas The Marre's has sharper-edges. | <urn:uuid:df7644e0-f02b-411c-8146-4ab8f7922c22> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://leaflock.blogspot.com/2010/08/superheroes.html | 2018-06-25T00:26:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.970643 | 645 | [

Sweater: H&M, Leggings: Urban Outfitters, Boots: Naughty Monkey
'Reflection' doesn't just refer to the Christina Aguilera song from Mulan, kids. It's Wednesday and I hope you're all hanging in there. I pretty much feel like I'm hanging by the tips of my fingers across the cliff face, but I'm hanging in nevertheless.
This sweater from H&M gives great reason to hold on, because it's so cuddly and delightful! The knitted material is soft and gives good warmth without being overbearing. Additionally, the length is ideal for layering with leggings, jeans, skirts, or pretty much any bottom of your choosing. I particularly love the scooped hemline, providing a slight but perfect mullet shape :)
The pleather leggings are ideal for giving the typical casual sweater a more chic look and providing sleek feminine lines to contrast the thickness of the top.
The boots are my obsession, and how I got my hands on them is a story in and of itself. All I'll say is that I've got some serious skills, lol. But seriously, if you're a boot lover like myself, then you should check out Naughty Monkey's line. I promise you won't be disappointed ;)
Enjoy your week everyone, see you Friday...

Model and reality TV star Kendall Jenner might not be the first person who comes to mind when looking for workwear inspiration, however she has just introduced us to an Australian brand that offers luxe-feel tailoring at affordable prices.
Jenner, 20, often wears sleek coats with her box-fresh white trainers and she has revealed that she turns to high street label TY-LR for her put-together street style look. The model is guest-editing the April issue of Teen Vogue, and said she would like to see the brand on the cover: “It’s called TY-LR, I wear their coats all the time.”
The Adelaide-based label, which only hit stores in August 2015, is all about clean, simple shirting and suiting from silk trenches to ankle-grazing trousers. It has a COS-like approach to workwear, with Zara-like turnaround: TY-LR releases a new collection every single month.
Chances are you've seen TY-LR on your Instagram feed already. It's a favourite of the super blogger set, including the Song sisters, Damsel in Dior, Gala Gonzalez and Danielle Bernstein of We Wore What.
Here are five hero pieces from the latest TY-LR collection... | <urn:uuid:2638e7d5-b4b9-486f-956f-bd126459fba4> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/brands/kendall-jenner-introduces-us-to-new-workwear-secret-weapon/ | 2018-06-25T01:22:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867304.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624234721-20180625014721-00431.warc.gz | en | 0.967194 | 265 | [

Well, I'm here to report that I did not have the horrible experience that some people on the webby are reporting with their keratin hair treatment. But I'm also not going to report that it is a miracle hair saver.
Is my hair softer, lighter, thinner, straighter, and easier to manage? Yes, for the most part. did it hold the hair dye better? Yes, definitely.
What it didn't do is transform my dead hair into alive hair. I still need to have several inches cut off from the bottom. There's just no way around it.
And the sooner I get this done, the sooner it can grow back. But I'm still feeling whiny about it. I like my long hair. But what's the point if you can't effectively style 3-4 inches of it?
Last commentary about getting keratin hair therapy done...
Go to a salon that knows what it is doing. Some people may only have to leave it on for 1 day; some have to leave it on for 3 days. It depends how damaged your hair is, the texture etc.
Know going in that you will not be able to wash or put your hair up into a binder in any way for 1-3 days. I didn't know this and it was a pain in the ass to deal with.
Would I do it again? Well, this is supposed to last 6 months. If it lasts even 3 months, I would say it is worth it at $200. But I'm not sure I would do it again.

Replacing valve cover gaskets on a Mercury Villager
This past weekend I helped a friend by replacing the valve cover gaskets on his Mercury Villager. Working on this engine reminded me of why I love Jeeps so much.
This is a sideways mounted V 6 engine. This means that the rear valve cover in under the firewall and behind the intake manifold. The intake is at least made in two pieces so you can take off the top part without having to remove it from both the heads.
Ed’s van was literary pouring oil out of the rear valve cover every time he headed up his steep driveway. Before diagnosing the problem, we thought it had to be a pressurized oil leak like the oil pressure sender or something due to the huge amount of oil it would leak.
However, close inspection showed the line of oil began and ended at the valve cover to head joint. Only the rear one. The front cover was not leaking.
This van is actually a retagged Nissan Quest. I loved the old Nissan L series engines. They were extremely reliable and easy to work on. There were only a couple of special tools needed for the whole engine. And every part was easy to get to. Not so on this little V6.
From reading the internet forums, it seems common for the valve cover gaskets to fail at 100,000 miles. My Jeep engine has 330,000 miles on its original valve cover gasket. The old L series Nissans had a simple cork gasket that lasted me well over 100,000 miles.
This engine however has a strange shaped rubber gasket that cost $20 for the pair. The most expensive part of the job however was getting the intake gasket that only came in a set and cost $40. I only needed one of the gaskets from the set but it was not available separately except from the Nissan dealer. My nearest Nissan dealer is over an hour away.
The manifold at first seemed impossible to remove. There are two hard water lines attached to the bottom of the manifold that attach via short hoses to pipes attached to the engine. You can’t access the clamps without raising the manifold and you can’t raise the manifold without disconnecting the hoses.
I finally figured out I could raise the right side of the manifold just enough to access the clamp and pull off the hose. Then I could work on the other one. I seriously considered cutting the hoses. But one is a special shaped hose that I am sure is dealer only and who knows what it cost.
Also complicating the issue is that the EGR valve is connected the manifold by two L-O-N-G studs and to the exhaust by a hard metal pipe. The EGR valve won’t move much so you have to pull the manifold out of the valve on the long studs.
After pulling off the right hose, I could raise it enough to get the left hose off and then pull it loose from the EGR. That is after figuring out how to disconnect the vacuum line to the brake booster. There is also a hidden sensor wire that can only be disconnected while you hold the manifold up. Of course there is no room to have anyone helping, so you have to balance it all in one hand and disconnect the wire with the other.
Luckily Ed’s van is dark red so the blood stains don’t really show much. There is a very sharp flange just under the windshield wipers that I hit my hand on as I was pulling loose the last of the lines.
Once the manifold was out of the way, the Valve cover is still not easy to get to. It is way back under the firewall and several of the screws required a stubby screwdriver to operate. Oh, I forgot to mention, the valve cover is not held by real hex head or even torx bolts. It is held down by 9 number 2 Phillips screws!
I hate Phillips screws because you have to hold constant pressure down on the screwdriver while turning to prevent stripping out a tight fastener. This is very difficult to do while stretched over the engine compartment on fasteners you can’t see.
Once the screws were out and the crankcase vent line disconnected, I was able to pull the valve cover. It simply fell off as the gasket was completely degraded. There were two spits in the gasket that allowed oil to simply run out from under the cover. The remaining part of the gasket crumbled as I removed it from the cover. The new gasket was very flexible and much thicker showing just how the old one had degraded from the heat.
Thankfully cleanup of the head was as easy as wiping with a rag because it would have been next to impossible to get a scraper in there to clean up any stuck gasket material.
With the rear cover back in place, I focused on the front cover which was not leaking but I knew would have the same degraded gasket. Besides, there were two in the kit.
This one looked like it would be a breeze to remove as you can look straight down on all eight screws. Wait a minute! The rear cover had nine screws? After removing the eight screws, the cover was still attached. Careful inspection showed there was a ninth screw. It was under the distributor!
Not under the distributor cap but under the distributor itself. This means that you have to completely remove the distributor from the engine taking a chance on changing the ignition timing.
Thankfully someone had made a nice paint mark on the distributor earlier so I could tell exactly where to put it back. I failed however to mark where the rotor pointed before pulling with great force to break the seal of the O ring on the distributor housing. The distributor popped up and of course twisted as the helical gears disengaged from the cam. I marked where I thought is had been and continued.
The front cover was much easier to remove and clean after the distributor and the knock sensor were removed than the rear one had been.
I cleaned it up and put it all back. I carefully aligned the rotor with my mark and the distributor with previous mark.
Next came the seemingly impossible task of replacing the intake. The two hoses and the EGR valve all seem to have to be connected at once and at three different angles.
After several trial fits, I figured out that the only way to make it work was to slip the EGR part way on the studs, then connect the left hose and then the right one. The trouble was once all that was accomplished there was no way to put the spring clamp on the first hose. I needed a longer pair of pliers than I had in my tool kit to accomplish the task.
I eventually replaced the spring clamp with a worm drive clamp so that I was able to tighten it through one of the little gaps in the manifold using a nut driver. It looked like it was all going well until I noticed that the sensor wire was not connected and it need to have been connected before I sat the manifold down. After much work I was able to fish the wire under the manifold and eventually connect it to the connector on the back of the engine. I added a bit more blood to the under side of the cowl in the process.
With all the hoses connected I finally was able to slide the EGR valve home and tighten the nuts. Then I began the process of hooking back up all the other wires and vacuum lines that connect to the throttle body and idle air control valve.
I finally got the intake air lines reconnected and the manifold bolts tightened and it looked ready to crank when I noticed I had forgotten to put the mass air flow sensor back in. It just clips in place and I had only removed it to help get my arm in behind the engine.
At that point I had my assistant try to start the engine. The engine would turn over but felt like it was trying to back fire. It would hardly turn with the starter.
At this point I remembered the rotor position was not certain so I pulled the distributor again and moved the rotor one tooth. I put it all back and had my assistant try the key again.
This time it started and ran perfectly. There was much rejoicing as we let it idle and warm up to check for water leaks. Finding none, we drove it back to Ed who was very happy to have his van back. | <urn:uuid:76caf8eb-55f4-4131-8293-7f3ea5dc3328> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://mikestrawbridge.com/blog/2010/10/replacing-valve-cover-gaskets-on-a-mercury-villager/ | 2018-06-18T02:12:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267859923.59/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618012148-20180618032148-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.981732 | 1,729 | [

The European Processor Initiative (EPI) gets together 23 partners from 10 European countries, with the aim to bring to the market a low power microprocessor.
It gathers experts from the High Performance Computing (HPC) research community, the major supercomputing centres, and the computing and silicon industry as well as the potential scientific and industrial users. Through a co-design approach, it will design and develop the first European HPC Systems on Chip and accelerators. Both elements will be implemented and validated in a prototype system that will become the basis for a full Exascale machine based on European technology.
The development of such technologies needs a long-term financial support. Therefore, the EPI consortium will be buoyed through a Framework Partnership Agreement.
Vice-President Andrus Ansip, in charge of the Digital Single Market, and Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, welcomed this new step:
The European Processor Initiative is an important step of a strategic plan to develop an independent and innovative European supercomputing and data ecosystem and will ensure that the key competence of high-end chip design remains in Europe, a critical point for many application areas. Thanks to such new European technologies, European scientists and industry will be able to access exceptional levels of energy-efficient computing performance. This will benefit Europe's scientific leadership, industrial competitiveness, engineering skills and know-how and the society as whole.
Mr. Philippe Notton, the EPI General Manager and Prof. Mateo Valero, Director of the Barcelona Super Computing Centre added:
We expect to achieve unprecedented levels of performance at very low power, and EPI’s HPC and automotive industrial partners are already considering the EPI platform for their product roadmaps.
The main objectives of the EPI are to:
- Develop low-power processor technology to be included in a European pre-exascale system (capable of around 1016 calculations per second) and in European exascale systems (a billion billion or 1018 calculations per second),
- Guarantee that a significant part of that technology is European,
- Ensure that the application areas of the technology are not limited only to HPC, but cover other areas such as the automotive sector or the data centres, thus ensuring the overall economic viability of the initiative. One specific objective for the automotive sector is for instance to develop customized processors able to meet the performance needed for autonomous cars.
EPI will provide to the European industry and research a competitive HPC platform and data processing solutions at world class level in the best interest of data security and ownership.
The EPI consortium proposes to create a long-term economic model by delivering a family of processors for the 3 markets:
- High Performance Computing
- Data centres and servers
- Autonomous vehicles
EPI puts in place the roadmap for European HPC chips and accelerators facilitating the development of pre-exascale and exascale machines as well as prototypes for automotive proofs of concept.
The financial contribution of the European Union to the initiative under the Horizon 2020 programme is expected to be around EUR 120 million. Specific grant agreements to support the EPI will be published later this year. The objective is to allocate funding to implement the roadmap presented by the consortium.
The EPI initiative is part of a broader strategy to develop an independent European HPC industry based on domestic and innovative technologies as presented in the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking proposed by the European Commission on 11 January 2018.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking is a legal and funding entity which will enable pooling of the Union's and national resources on High-Performance Computing to acquire, build and deploy in Europe the most powerful supercomputers of the world.
The aim of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking (JU) is to develop exascale supercomputers based on competitive EU technology.
The activities of the Joint Undertaking will be grouped around two main pillars:
- Procurement and operation of HPC machines: to acquire two world-class supercomputers and at least two mid-range supercomputers, and to provide and manage access to these machines to a wide range of public and private users around 2020.
- A Research and Innovation programme on HPC: to support European HPC technology, co-design European exascale machines, develop the first generation of a European low-power microprocessor technology and foster applications, skills development and a wide use of HPC.
The JU builds upon the EuroHPC declaration, launched in Rome in March 2017 and already signed by several countries. | <urn:uuid:ed9a53a0-6ad7-4363-a445-a4b4678a2ef2> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/european-processor-initiative-consortium-develop-europes-microprocessors-future-supercomputers | 2018-06-19T04:34:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861899.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619041206-20180619061206-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.91503 | 935 | [

PORT CANAVERAL/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – ‘The SpaceX boosters back in town! The boosters back in town!’ paraphrasing the popular lyrics of the hit single from Irish hard rock band Thin Lizzy – its what comes to mind with the speedy cadence of ‘launch, land and relaunch’ firmly established by CEO Elon Musk’s hard rocking crew of mostly youthful rocket scientists and engineers.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – After seemingly endless bouts of damaging rain squalls and flooding, Florida is at last living up to its billing as the ‘Sunshine State’ with some superb weather forecast for Monday afternoon’s scheduled liftoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 with its first Korean customer – on the eve of Halloween.
PORT CANAVERAL/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – The now twice flown SpaceX first stage booster that successfully delivered the SES-11 UHDTV satellite to orbit Wednesday, Oct 11, sailed proudly back home into Port Canaveral during a beautiful Sunday sunrise, Oct. 15 only three days after it safely landed on a tiny droneship at sea.
Before the year is out, the long awaited debut launch of the triple barreled Falcon Heavy rocket may at last be in sight says SpaceX CEO and founder Elon Musk, as he forthrightly acknowledges it comes with high risk and released a stunning launch and landing animation (see below) earlier today, Aug. 4.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – Spectacular 4th of July fireworks are coming tonight, July 3, to the Florida Space Coast courtesy of SpaceX and Intelsat with the planned near dusk launch of the commercial Epic 35e next-generation high throughput satellite to geostationary orbit for copious customers in the Americas, Europe and Africa. UPDATE: After a 2nd abort launch is now NET July 5. JULY 5 UPDATE: GO for launch attempt tonight at 7:37 PM. Weather looks good at this time
PORT CANAVERAL/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – The launch cadence at Elon Musk’s SpaceX is truly ramping up with Falcon 9 boosters rapidly coming and going in all directions from ground to space as the firm audaciously sets its sight on a third commercial payload orbital launch on July 2 in the span of just 9 days from its East and West Coast launch bases.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – With Sunday’s successful Falcon 9 blastoff for Iridium Communications joining rocketry’s history books, Elon Musk’s SpaceX accomplished a double headed American space spectacular this weekend with 2 launches and 2 booster landings in 2 days from 2 coasts for 2 commercial customers – in a remarkably rapid turnaround feat that set a new record for minimum time between launches for SpaceX.
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FL – In another breakthrough milestone aimed at slashing the high cost of rocketry, the innovators at billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk’s SpaceX successfully launched a ‘used’ rocket for only the second time in history – that blazed a path to orbit with its BulgariaSat-1 commercial television comsat payload Friday afternoon, June 23, from the Kennedy Space Center and just minutes later landed upright and intact on an oceanic platform waiting offshore in the vast currents of the Atlantic ocean.
PORT CANAVERAL, FL — Rocket recycling continues apace as the latest SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to successfully launch a payload to orbit on Aug. 14 and land the first stage at sea minutes later, sailed safely into Port Canaveral just days later atop the dedicated drone ship landing platform. It’s just the latest previously unfathomable […]
SpaceX has released a slew of up close photos showing the sensational “super smooth” touchdown last week of a Falcon 9 booster on a tiny droneship at sea located several hundred miles (km) off the East coast of Florida. “This time it really went super smooth,” Hans Koenigsmann, SpaceX VP of Flight Reliability, told Universe Today | <urn:uuid:26620317-f6f7-4418-b755-97702c3f426d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.universetoday.com/tag/droneship/ | 2018-06-19T04:32:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861899.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20180619041206-20180619061206-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.922539 | 837 | [

Not surprisingly, for the Dolphins, its Dion Jordan. He's simply laughable (and yet another screwup by the Fins).
Jordan has been giving the Dolphins headaches since they made him the No. 3 overall pick back in 2013. Not only was he a disappointment on the field, but he struggled to stay on it. Not only has he battled some injuries in his short NFL career, but he's also been suspended twice -- most recently for the entire 2015 NFL season. Miami has tried to unload him via trade, but will likely be forced to release him when his suspension is up.
Amusingly, Ted Ginn Jr is the Panthers entry.
Kind of amusing that two former Fins first round picks are on the list. But then Miami's history with first rounders hasn't been so great in quite some time. In fact, I think the last good first round pick was in 1983, when they took Marino. Just sayin. | <urn:uuid:52d751a3-f9de-4354-9842-7b2373fe34cd> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://dolphinblog.bitchindave.com/2015_10_04_archive.html | 2018-06-20T03:39:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.988464 | 194 | [

This has been a subject which I had wondered about for a long time. But through much prayer, thought and reading of scripture, Yahuwah reveals His ways.
The various methods used today
For those new to this topic, there are a couple of views you will want to consider before coming to a conclusion. The three main views out there today are:
1) The dark moon – this is the moon one cannot see. Some people use the day of the dark moon whilst others use the day after the dark moon.
2) The first visible crescent – this is the first sighting of the moon. It occurs in the evening of the 29th or 30th day. Some people use the day on which the sign is seen as new moon day. Others use the day which follows.
3) The full moon – This is the moon which is full of Light. Again some use the day on which the moon is full as new moon day, whilst others use the day after.
Whilst there may be other slight variations, one of these three methods will cover the majority.
The First Witness
When many people read the scriptures which talk about new moon day, their first view of the subject is that the scriptures are silent on the topic. And initially I would agree. When trying to find out which day new moon day falls upon, it might appear that they are indeed silent.
Let me relay a short story here, which might get you thinking about the subject and actually show you that the scriptures do speak about which day new moon day is.
Johnathan decides that he is going to attend College
The College course is 30 days long. The first day Jonathan attends the open day of the College. He learns that after six days of study, He will have an exam the following day.
Day two of the course, Jonathan starts his lessons. He starts to study each day and after the end of six days, he has an exam upon the seventh day. This first exam was worth 15% of his grades.
The day after the exam, Johnathan starts to study again. His second exam is again after the end of another six days. The second exam is worth 55% of his grades. It is the biggest exam in the whole course and marks the midpoint of the course he is doing. Johnathan needs to study a lot for this second exam and spends a lot of time preparing. He is given the most material revealing the most about the subject He is studying.
Then there is the third exam. Johnathan is now following the same pattern which placed his next exam after another six days. This exam was also worth another 15%.
It is upon this exam that Johnathan sees that there is not far to go. The course is almost finished and he is looking forward to completing it.
At the end, Johnathan has completed his course with 100% of the subject matter covered.
Now consider the events you saw take place whilst Johnathan was doing his College course. We saw Johnathan attend the first day. We then saw Johnathan work for six days, and then have an exam. It was worth 15%.
We saw Johnathan have major exam after another six days of work. It was worth 55%. During this time Johnathan was shown the most information.
We then saw Johnathan have another exam after another six days of study. It was worth 15%.
Up to this point, Johnathan has completed 85% of His exams. We know that Johnathan has an exam after six days of work. The last exam Johnathan had therefore had to have been upon the 29th day of the course as the exams were set after six days of work, and Johnathan still had 15% of the course to go.
But how did we reach this conclusion if there was no light upon this last exam? How did we know the exam was here and how did we know it was worth 15%? You see the scriptures are exactly the same, for when the light is absent it becomes a light itself.
In this example we are not actually told of an exam upon the 29th day. Yahuwah never actually tells us there is a Sabbath upon the 29th day either. That does not mean that there is no Sabbath here however. It means that there is no Light shone upon this event. There are markers – Things which show us, when His appointed times are which in turn show us that there was a Sabbath at this time. It is held in the fourth commandment which tells us after 6 work days, there is the Sabbath.
If Yahuwah is to remain honest and true, would one really expect to see a Light, where Yahuwah does not place it?
Yahuwah shows us Light upon the new moon. We see this in His word.
Yahuwah shows us Light upon the first Sabbath. We see this in His word.
Yahuwah shows us Light upon the second Sabbath. We see this in His word.
In fact this Sabbath has the most Light upon it out of all the Sabbaths. We see this event over and over in His word.
Yahuwah shows us Light upon the third Sabbath. We see this in His word also.
It was upon this Sabbath that Yahuwah healed a blind man, and He said at this time:
1 Now as Yahshua passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth.
2 And His disciples asked Him, saying,
“Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Yahshua answered,
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of Elohim should be revealed in him.
4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
The very next Sabbath, the one which sits right beside New Moon day, is hidden in the scriptures. Just like the Light from the moon, there is no Light upon this Sabbath. Just like the cups below, some contain liquid, but there is one which contains none. The same way that some of the Sabbaths are seen, and the fourth Sabbath is not seen.
The Light we see in His word is there to guide us on how we, followers of Yahshua, should walk.
Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a gide to my path.
Importantly, this method does not take the Light the Father gives us in His word, and flip it upon its head. This is what we see when we use the full moon as the new moon. It results in us taking Light he calling the full moon the new moon.
This results in there being no light upon the second Sabbath, and the fourth Sabbath almost being full of Light.
But using the Scriptures shown above, this is actually flipping everything upside down. Taking that which we don’t see and placing it in full light, and taking that which we do see and placing it in darkness.
Hence the warning is seen in scripture which says:
Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
We are told not to take that which we see the Light upon and hide it. We are told not to take that which is hidden, and put Light upon it.
There is only a single method which reveals His appointed times.
The second Witness
This witness is overlooked by most. Even those who use the moon to know when His appointed times are. And this scripture is right in front of us all, quoted many times, but never given a second thought.
Here is the scripture.
He created the moon for the appointed times. The sun knows it’s going down.
Most people who use the moon to know His appointed times will clearly recognise this scripture. We use it when we are sharing what we have learned about His appointed time with others.
We show people that the scripture says that He created the moon for the appointed times. We show people the list of appointed times in Leviticus 23 which start with the Sabbath and conclude with the appointed time of booths in this chapter.
But have you ever heard anyone explain to you the part which says ” The sun knows it’s going down”? What does this mean and why is it there?
This is a marker. It marks a single moment in time when the appointed times are revealed to us each month. The moon, the marker for the appointed times is seen when the sun sets, upon either the evening of the 29th or 30th days.
When one uses the first visible crescent, this is exactly what one sees. As the sun sets upon either the 29th or 30th day in the evening, look above where the sun is setting and you shall see the new moon. The moon is declaring when the appointed times of Yahuwah shall be for that coming month.
This only works with the first visible cresent as the new moon as it is the only one in which the moon is seen as the sun sets.
The dark moon is not seen at all, and the full moon is seen the entire day. It is the first visible crescent – the new moon, which has Light shone upon it in His word, declaring when the appointed times shall be counted from as the sun goes down.
What is a sign?
Have you ever considered what a sign is? When you travel down a road and approach a give way sign, do you see the sign before you have to give way? Or do you give way and then see the sign? It is obvious to many that you see the sign first. Likewise with Yahuwah.
In Genesis 1:14 Elohim tells us that it was the Light which was to give us these signs. It was the Light which was to show is His appointed times. The Lights Elohim gives us does indeed show us His appointed times.
14 Elohim said,
“Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and appointed times and for days and years;
Those who use the dark moon as the new moon seem to miss that Elohim tells us here that is was the LIGHTS which were to provide us with His appointed times. It was not the darkness. It was the Lights.
For those using the full moon as new moon, they also miss this as they take the single day which has no Light in His word and they place it in Light. Likewise, they flip the second Sabbath around and place it in darkness – the single day which has the most light on it in His word.
There is only one method to keep His appointed times, and it uses His Lights to know when the appointed times are going to be.
The first visible crescent as a sign, like the Give Way sign, seen as we approach it, marking when His appointed times shall fall on the evening the sun sets. | <urn:uuid:bfc8c7e4-0841-457c-b26c-6eb14c546053> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://calendarofscripture.com/2018/01/23/when-is-new-moon-day-2/ | 2018-06-20T03:56:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863411.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620031000-20180620051000-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.97838 | 2,328 | [

The season is not over yet, so to see your player of the season already pictured in another club’s jersey is very unbecoming. It’s confirmed that Flamini finally revealed his plans and sign for AC Milan of the Serie A. Yes, he had every right to sign since his contract was going to be up by June. But to pose in another club’s jersey is another whole matter. He should not really be grudged for the desires, passion and commitment shown this season was incredible. His arrival on the biggest stage and claiming the frist eleven spot to boot also signal his departure from the club. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
Yet again Sunderland away was the last game of the season. The last time, Diaby broke his leg and never seemed to recover completely to constantly feature for Arsenal. There was no such concern this time around. The match was played at half-pace and generated few attempts on goals.
Fabianski again was presented with the oppourtunity to show his talent and the boy did not disappoint. He caught a long range volley to the top corner cleanly. No chance for the opposition to even go for a rebound. However the young Polish always looked in a hurry to distribute the ball. Sometimes it’s good, as it helps to initiate quick counter attacks but he should look to be calmer in his game and choose the best option at different scenarios of the game.
Walcott gave another assured display on the right wing. Eboue would be looking on with much jealousy. Quick of the pace and knowing when to move infield helped create the opening goal. Gilberto did really well to pick out Walcott’s movement and thread a wonderful pass to the young English boy who promptly stuck the ball into the back of the net.
Mark Randall was given a chance to show that he his worth considering for next season. Coming on and playing on the left of midfield, the young lad showed calmness on the ball and executed passes with simplicity. He was unlucky not to have notch his first senior goal as the linesman ruled his goal, offside.
The long and hard season had finally come to and end. The emotional roller-coaster that Arsenal players and fans have to go through has finally seen them finishing just 4 points off winners, Man Utd. It was another classic case of so near yet so far. | <urn:uuid:6f53075d-273b-4536-9285-e23e9490626e> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://arsenalheart.wordpress.com/2008/05/13/we-will-come-back-stronger/ | 2018-06-22T03:57:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864343.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622030142-20180622050142-00471.warc.gz | en | 0.987889 | 495 | [

Officially welcome to the 3rd Annual Tesla Hertz Run weekend. Going to try to go over everything in this email and see if we can cover it all. I’ll try to make it chronological so it makes the most sense.
– Conference Call – Going to take a page out of another race’s book. We will hold a conference call this Wednesday Oct 7th at 8:00PM- It will be more of a Q&A type call. One of us will be on the call to answer questions from 8-8:30.
– Packets – Since there isn’t a lot to worry about, you can come right before your race. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE understand that we have 4 races going off on Saturday. We’re only checking in 1hr before your race. So if you’re running the 50k, your check in will start at 7:00 am because your race starts at 8:00 am.
10 milers on SUNDAY – Anyone running the 10 mile you race will start on time on Sunday. We’d like to encourage you to get out there and support the group of folks that have been out there ALL night! If you know anyone looking to run, have them come out too. It’s looking to be a small field and the 10 miler is there to get people who never knew there were trails on LI out there!
– Weather – Looks like the weekend is going to be nice. Little bit of rain on Friday but anyone that was there last year knows the ground will get dry pretty quick.
– Getting there – 245 NY-25A Rocky Point, NY 11778 – This is the address to ACROSS THE STREET from the trail entrance. If you’re parking and LEAVING your car for the day, park here. In the Waldbaum’s parking lot. If you have a crew member that can move your car, feel free to park where ever, and they can move it. If you have a lot to drop off you can park in the lot for the race then move it to Waldbaums before your race. The trail entrance will be marked with Lights, Cones, Balloons. You’ll know it. There is a decent walk to the actual start area. So if you’re carrying a lot, we’d suggest you use a wagon, or a hand cart or something of that sort. We will try to lend a hand as much as possible.
– See this picture – http://teslahertzrun.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/TelsaRunMap.png
– Start times – 5-10 mins before each race, Vinny will have a prerace briefing. Races will start ON TIME!! Also – we have a hard rule at this race. The race you toe the line for is the race you MUST complete. If not you’re a DNF. That means if you step up for the 100k and only finish 5 laps, you do NOT get a finishing time/award for the 50 mile. You get a DNF. You have a REALLY long time to be out there to get any race distance done and we will support you as much as we can and help push you and encourage you and perhaps even run WITH you if that’s what it takes, but what you started, is what you must complete in order to get a finisher’s award.
– Course markings – We use PINK survey tape attached to clothes pins in the trees. Some will also have reflective tape on them so you can see them from REALLY far away.
– Mandatory Gear – 100 milers – you must start with a headlamp/flash light. ANYONE who is out past sundown needs to have a headlamp or flashlight. Honestly it’s not about the trail. You’re crossing a road 2 times, per loop and we want to make sure everyone is seen properly.
– Aid stations – We’re going to have HEED, Gatorade and Water. If your taste is for something else we’d suggest bringing your own. You’re welcome to use the water to mix whatever you need. We’re switching it up a bit due to some things we weren’t happy with about the Hammer sponsorship rules and changes. Nichole and I both use Honey Stinger products; we feel they make great nutrition and do just as good if not better than competitors. Therefore, we will have caffeinated and non-caffeinated gels, chews and waffles at each aid station. There will also be a decent amount of food. Everything you’d normally expect to see at aid stations ; PB&J, pretzels, candy, soda, soup, bacon, pancakes, quesadillas, pickles, eggs, potatoes… but there’s seriously a grocery store right across the street.

One mistake by a Verizon employee almost cost Jim DiOrio $170.
DiOrio had Verizon service -- copper, not fiber -- at his Morristown home.
In 2017, he received several letters from Verizon saying DiOrio's service needed to be upgraded to FIOS because the company was no longer going to support its copper wire network.
DiOrio put it off, but Verizon was persistent. It started calling him to schedule the change.
He finally said yes and in July 2017, and a technician came to his home.
"The technician came out the first time but couldn't install the fiber optic cable because he said it was a two-man job," DiOrio said. "I then set up another appointment and the same thing happened. The technician needed a helper which he didn't have."
So he set up a third appointment, making it clear two technicians would need to come.
But when the new date came, only one technician came. Rather than reschedule yet again, DiOrio stepped in as the helper.
The job was done after three hours, he said, and the technician gave DiOrio some papers to sign.
"I noticed that there was a two-year term to the agreement," DiOrio said. "At that time I knew that I would be moving full-time to my existing house at the Jersey shore in Belmar in February 2018."
DiOrio said he asked the tech, but the tech said not to worry. He explained that ending the contract early wouldn't matter because DiOrio was moving.
"At no time prior to this time did Verizon indicate in writing or on the phone that in order to accomplish the upgrade, I would have to commit to a two-year term," he said. "I reluctantly signed."
Months passed, and DiOrio was ready for his move to Belmar. On Feb. 16, he, said, he called Verizon to cancel the service effective Feb. 22.
"The customer service representative immediately told me that I owed $170 for an early termination fee because I had 'upgraded' the service," DiOrio said. "I explained that I didn't upgrade the service and that Verizon had upgraded it and I had no choice in the matter."
The rep asked where he was moving, saying that if FIOS service was transferred to the new house, he wouldn't have to pay the early termination fee.
Verizon does provide service in Belmar, but it wasn't that simple.
DiOrio already had a contract with a different service provider for the Belmar home, and if he canceled, he'd owe that company an early termination fee.
DiOrio's call was escalated to a supervisor, but the verdict was the same. Unless he took his FIOS service to Belmar, he'd have to cough up the $170 penalty.
Frustrated, he reached out for help.
THE MISTAKE, REVEALED
Two-year contracts are quite common among service providers, and most offer the same "out" for customers who move. If the customer moves and continues service at a new home, the contract would continue and no fees would be due. There would also be no fee if the service provider doesn't do work in the town.
But DiOrio's situation was a bit unique. He wasn't trying to leave Verizon, but he already had a relationship -- going back seven years -- with a different company for his Belmar home.
Plus, prior to the change away from copper, he didn't have any contract with Verizon. The change to FIOS wasn't his choice, but at Verizon's insistence.
We asked Verizon to take a closer look, and in a couple of hours, the case was solved.
DiOrio got a call from a customer service rep, who DiOrio said "was delightful and fixed everything."
The rep explained that the switch to FIOS shouldn't have been considered an upgrade with a two-year contract, and DiOrio would not be charged the $170 fee.
Verizon confirmed that customers who agree to change to fiber at Verizon's request, as a matter of policy, are not asked to sign a contract.
What happened to DiOrio was a mistake, said Paul Sullivan, a Verizon vice president.
Sullivan also clarified the company's policy when a person moves.
He said when a FIOS customer moves to an address where FIOS is not available, a customer can share proof of the new address. Once that's validated, the early termination fee would be waived.
If the new address is able to get FIOS, and if the customer sticks with the service, there would be no fee.
There would only be an early termination fee if the service was available and the customer chooses to use another provider, he said.
We thank Verizon for fixing this issue so quickly.
DiOrio said he was impressed by the rep who contacted him, calling him a "true customer service advocate." He said the rep is the kind of person who should be training others who deal with customer problems.
He hopes his story is a warning for other customers, and he wants our readers to be careful when initiating new service or changing an existing one.
"In my case, the change to my service was initiated by Verizon so I was very unsuspecting," he said, noting that he worries about people who have no luck with customer service reps. "If they couldn't pay the termination fee, they would then get hounded by collection agencies and have their credit score damaged. These folks need to be protected."

Oh, wow, NOW we're talking! Though the first three books were equally full of suspense and fast-paced action and romance, I feel like they paled in comparison to this one.
In the new book of the Forest of Darkness series, we learn Vince's secret and watch him fight through numerous obstacles to finally get his own HEA. In case you didn't notice, Vince is the cute half-korean guy that works at the bookstore Kaia likes to visit. He's sort of her friend, too, but, as we found out earlier in the series… Read More | <urn:uuid:d5837a5b-8071-40dc-a23d-57a985d9b685> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.readingalley.com/book/view_all_reviews/9d3eeb23/9 | 2018-06-23T04:33:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864940.31/warc/CC-MAIN-20180623035301-20180623055301-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.982177 | 120 | [

Gross domestic product rose 11.2 percent in the three months ended Dec. 31, compared with 11.5 percent in the third quarter, the statistics bureau said in Beijing today. That was less than the 11.3 percent median estimate of 23 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News.
About $7.6 trillion has been wiped off the value of stocks worldwide this year on concern that a U.S. slowdown will spread. That is complicating efforts by China, the other main engine of global growth, to curb lending and rein in consumer prices that rose 6.5 percent in December, stoking social tensions.
The yuan traded at 7.2260 per dollar at 10:10 a.m. in Shanghai, from 7.2250 before the report.
China's consumer prices advanced 4.8 percent in 2007 from a year earlier, outstripping the government's 3 percent target, statistics bureau said today. Fitch Ratings forecast today that inflation will average more than 5 percent this year.
Weaker U.S. demand has already contributed to a slowing of exports from China, a manufacturing base for Motorola Inc. mobile phones and Samsung Electronics Co. televisions. Overseas shipments rose at the slowest pace since 2002 in the fourth quarter. Reduced export incentives, particularly on products made by polluting industries, were also a factor.
While inflation cooled from an 11-year high of 6.9 percent in November, the pace remains more than double the central bank's annual target. Soaring costs have triggered stampedes at sales of discounted cooking oil and eggs, price controls on staple foods and memories of the unrest before the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and crackdown. | <urn:uuid:325112b5-85bd-4580-b161-7b7b07d477a5> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://tradingeconomics.com/articles/01232008204010.htm | 2018-06-25T04:26:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867424.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625033646-20180625053646-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.951884 | 341 | [

Capital of Wales
Cardiff is the Capital city of Wales and is the largest city in the country with a population of 350,000. It hasn’t always been the capital city and was granted this honour in 1955.
As you would expect from a capital city Cardiff has everything to suit all tastes but it also a world famous sporting venue with the recently erected Millennium Dome that became the National Stadium for England Football club during the building the new Wembley Stadium over a seven year period. As such its fondly adored by both Welsh and English football fans alike.
One word of warning is that the Welsh have their own language which is still widely spoken throughout the country and most of the street signs and often menus have the words spelt out in English and in Welsh or sometime only in welsh so take your translation guide book.
Castles meet modern building on the shores of Cardiff Bay
Cardiff is an interesting and rather unusual city because it has many different aspects from the Port to the sea side, known as Cardiff Bay. In addition it has a modern shopping centre, art galleries and government building all within walking distance of each other.
To best explore the city visit a tourist information office and find an are which best suits your tastes. There is too much to see to enjoy the entire city in one day so plan you trip over several days and you won’t be disappointed.
Make sure that Cardiff Castle is one of the must-see sights on your list. It is a huge gothic building and fully functionally with a history dating back to the 11th Century.
A city that has risen into a very prosperous town
Cardiff is a very proud city and it has recovered very prominently from the difficulties it suffered during the depression on the early 1930s that saw the demise in its Docklands trade by more than 50%. It has since grown in reputation and stature and is now a commanding and powerful, modern capital city.
The government buildings are based in the Centre of Cardiff and as a trading, commercial centre it is second to none in the country.
The majority of the shops in the city centre are large brand labels but there are also some retail parks in the suburbs near Cardiff Bay. The most famous shopping venue in Cardiff and also the largest is the St David’s Centre in Cardiff Bay which is one of the largest shopping centres in the United Kingdon covering 130,000 square metres. Alternatively head to the Castle Quarter for a more traditional selection of shops all offering great items and good discounts. | <urn:uuid:32a0e9b8-b94b-4970-b1b7-ef9613dfc528> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.hotel.info/en/cardiff/hotels-101723/ | 2018-06-25T04:34:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867424.77/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625033646-20180625053646-00151.warc.gz | en | 0.973954 | 512 | [

Web Design/Dynamic websites
Dynamic websites are type of websites that use one or more computer programming languages that allow the content to be managed or somehow outputted using a server-side application. Dynamic websites are mostly rich of content and manageable. Most Open Source website applications are competitive in the part of managing the content with an ease. Dynamic websites are examples like Wikibooks, Wikipedia, or blog portals. They allow the usage of custom templates and actions in the server-site, such as logging and adding new data. Today, it's quite hard to find a website that wouldn't be dynamic-content based.
Most dymanic websites are built on top of programming languages that are fast and can be used straight out of the box. Most of them are compatible with CGI to be used with Apache, or other powerful web servers.
Most used programming languages on the web today:
Note that Perl was the whole start of the server-side scripting for people who couldn't afford to buy or to learn the alternatives. Perl is now most portable solution that is the most widely available in the world. (add more)
Powerful dynamic website applications can also be built using almost any bigger programming language (C, C++, Pascal for example) which speeds up overall execution time of the script. Using PHP or other applications is a bit of pain as the applications are quite slow because they need to interpretate the source code, compile and execute it. Whereas, compiled applications are only executed either using SAPI or CGI interface. An example of powerful applications would be eBay - though the author is not sure but there are .DLL files. Also, Borland embeds .exe applications inside their search engine.
Webservers compatible with CGI/FastCGI applications:
- A common dynamic web design pattern: ["Redirect After Post" by Michael Jouravlev 2004.
- "Yahoo! Design Pattern Library"
- "An Introduction to Using Patterns in Web Design by Ryan Singer 2004

If you are entering a tournament on FanDuel this Sunday, you have most likely eyed up at least one player from the Pittsburgh Steelers for your roster.
In the past two games, the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ defense has allowed an average of 29.69 points to the quarterback position in FanDuel leagues, and the Jaguars’ defense is currently allowing an average of 320.8 passing yards per game. Ben Roethlisberger has a very attractive price tag of $8,300, and all signs point to Big Ben having a huge day.
Wide receiver Antonio Brown($9,000) finished the 2013 season with eight touchdowns, and he already has five in 2014. He is clearly Roethlisberger’s favorite target, and against such a weak defense, Brown could add a few more touchdowns onto his current total.
The Jaguars have allowed a league-high 11 passing touchdowns this season, so wider receiver Markus Wheaton($5,300) and tight end Heath Miller($5,900) are sneaky options the average daily fantasy player may overlook.
If things get out of hand early, and that is a distinct possibility, then Le’Veon Bell($8,600) will find himself with a heavy workload against a defense that is ranked 25th against the rush. Bell is able to provided his owners with versatility because of his capability as a dual-threat back, but LeGarrette Blount($4,600) is a very intriguing option for such a cheap price tag. Against the 27th ranked rush defense of the Carolina Panthers, Blount was able to accumulate 118 rushing yards and score a rushing touchdown. Most daily players will find a way to work Bell into their lineups, but few will make the contrarian play in selecting Blount, That could be the difference between winning a big pay day, or just winning your $10 back.
Statistically speaking, this is one of the best matchups daily fantasy players could hope for in Week 5. Roethlisberger has a fairly cheap price tag compared to Andrew Luck($10,000) and Philip Rivers($8,900), and you could make an obvious stack of Roethlisberger/Brown which should provide an easy reward, or go outside of the box and have a Roethlisberger/Wheaton or a Roethlisberger/Miller stack.
If something seems too good to be true, however, sometimes it is.
If a Kate Upton clone gave me a key to her hotel room, I would not hesitate to pay her a visit. When I would wake up the next morning in a bathtub full of ice with my kidney missing, however, I would have learned the hard way I was suckered into a bad situation because of a pretty face.
This matchup seems very pretty on paper, but I want to metaphorically protect fans from having their kidneys removed for their daily fantasy lineups.
The Steelers’ have only averaged 24.25 points per game this season, and that was against some very weak defenses. Even if Pittsburgh does manage to put points on the board, rookie quarterback Blake Bortles($6,400) is bound to breakout at some point during this season with all the weapons he is surrounded with. Bortles will have less targets in Week 5 with Cecil Shorts and Marqise Lee most likely sidelined, but he still has Allen Robinson($5,000), Allen Hurns($5,300) and Clay Harbor($5,000) to help him move the ball. The Steelers’ defense is mediocre against the pass, and with several injuries to account for, the Jaguars’ offense could find a way to exploit Dick LeBeau‘s schemes.
Also, this game will be played in Jacksonville.
I’m personally rolling with several combinations of Steelers’ players in my lineups, but am I taking this matchup too lightly? Am I being ignorant in overlooking everything I stated above?
I needed to get a few other opinions on this, so I asked some of my favorite analysts if they thought this game was a trap.
The top player in this week’s match-up is likely Antonio Brown. Last week, against the leagues worst defense versus the pass in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brown nabbed 131 yards on seven receptions with two touchdowns. And the Jaguars? The Jaguars are the league’s second-worst. I wouldn’t expect the 130+ yards and multiple touchdowns again from Brown, but I would expect another 100+ yard, one touchdown minimum game.
I also like Le’Veon Bell, who is arguably the second-best running back from the line of scrimmage behind only DeMarco Murray of the Cowboys, getting the chance to play against the Jaguars’ 25th rushing defense. The inside linebackers will have a tough day, as even in relief, and LeGarrette Blount might get his appetite filled a bit in the Jags’ second level.
Another solid play will be the Steelers’ DEF. Don’t believe too much of the hype just yet in Blake Bortles. This will continue to be a learning experience for the rookie QB, and the Steelers might rely on a constant blitz to keep pressure on the young offense.
Even with solid play from Brown, growing numbers from Heath Miller and some other targets at wideout in the Pittsburgh offense, Big Ben might not be the biggest, baddest play. However, with that said, Ben should break the top 6 in Week 5 points. If the price is right, he’ll get better than average points, but there are also some better, more cost-effective picks as well.
Everyone is riding the Jacksonville Jaguars fade train this year, and that includes me.This week, however, presents a very interesting matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Everyone is assuming the Steelers will win big, with good reason: Jacksonville is pretty bad. There are 3 teams that give up more than 400 yards per game, and Jacksonville is one of them. On the flip side, there are only five teams that average more than 400 yards per game and the Steelers fall in that category. All signs point to the Steelers putting up a lot of yards and winning big.
The Steelers, however, are only a six-point favorite to win, and the game is in Jacksonville. The Jags are 7-4 in the last 11 games in Jacksonville against the Steelers, and the Steelers have only won six out of its last 15 games against teams with a losing record. Neither of those stats scream to pick Pittsburgh.
Ultimately, for Jacksonville to have a chance, it is going to have to score a lot of points. I think that the Steelers have too much firepower on offense for the Jags to keep up. With that said, I am still not picking Pittsburgh in my eliminator group this week, despite them being the consensus top pick.
I expect a conservative game from the Pittsburgh Steelers who would suffer greatly from a loss to the 0-4 Jacksonville Jaguars.
The second half break down against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has fans and some analyst skeptical about the play-making ability of the Steelers, so it makes sense to go with a conservative approach. The main beneficiaries from a conservative offense? LeVeon Bell and Shaun Suisham. Expect a lot of running and short passes. The goal is easy points, and that translates to field goals.
Jacksonville and rookie quarterback Blake Bortles will have to impress with their offense to shake the Steelers’ conservatism. Unfortunately, I don’t expect this to happen as the Steeler defense has proven adept at handling rookie quarterbacks. Expect a low scoring game, and a Steelers’ win.
So there you have it. While most seem to agree this game is not as safe as some may think, it still looks like rolling with a Steeler in your daily lineup is the right move.
Could this game be a trap? Yes. Is it too good of a matchup to pass on Steelers’ players? Yes.
Whether you want to roll with as close to a sure thing as possible in Antonio Brown, or take a leap with LeGarrette Blount, you won’t find too many writers telling you to sit a Steelers’ player this week. | <urn:uuid:edd3981a-0e74-4ebe-9e86-92ba403ee4a9> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://yourfantasyfootballcoach.com/2014/10/04/2014-fantasy-football-pittsburgh-steelers-vs-jacksonville-jaguars/ | 2018-06-18T05:22:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618051104-20180618071104-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.968069 | 1,694 | [

Ever since Dell took itself private in a $24 billion plus deal late last year, folks have been waiting for the other shoe to drop — as in job cuts and other belt-tightening measures.
It looks like the wait is nearly over with The Register reporting that the PC-and-server maker plans to cut deep — up to 20 percent of U.S. staff and even deeper cuts in Europe, the Middle East and Africa or EMEA. Dell disputed the Register’s percentages but in a statement said it is always evaluating ways to boost “operational effectiveness and allocate” in ways that may affect its workforce.
Here’s a brief timeline:

Congress and the President just passed a new spending bill, and just as with the previous bills this year it’s likely to set off some fireworks on Capitol Hill and beyond.
But wait. Didn’t we just pass a large spending bill? Technically yes. President Trump signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 in February, which increases federal spending for the next two years. However, the Act dealt specifically with federal spending, while the new omnibus is for appropriations, meaning it directs money to different programs and agencies. It’s different than the last spending bill, but that’s not why this omnibus package stands out from previous fiscal legislation.
The $1.3 trillion omnibus currently on the table is the last chance this year for lawmakers to rack up any sort of accomplishments before November’s midterm elections. In other words, many lawmakers need something, anything really, to point to in their home districts as proof they’ve gotten something done that could justify their staying in office.
What does that mean exactly? To understand this question, one needs to look at what’s in this appropriations bill.
The majority of the package will be funneled into domestic and military spending. Chief among the former is $1.6 billion meant for President Trump’s wall along the southern border. Another $4.6 billon is going toward the opioid addiction crisis, while $50 million is included in a school safety measure to increase training to recognize potential gun violence as well as increasing compliance with criminal background checks during gun purchases.
While the package touches on major political issues, many of the funds are earmarks for projects in various congressional districts. Between those earmarks and the aforementioned policy issues, lawmakers have crammed a myriad of provisions into this spending package which, depending on the circumstances, could hurt or help them come November when the polls open.
The Political Pitfalls
Since this legislation is likely the last Congress will pass before the elections, much is riding on what made it into the package and what didn’t. The two biggest policy battles tied to the bill are immigration and gun control, which will both be heavy hitters in this year’s elections.
Regarding immigration, Trump won something of a victory with his border wall funding, a top priority for Trump going back to the campaign trail. However, the victory is only a partial one. Trump actually wanted $25 billion for the wall, but Democrats refused to budge and forced a compromise with the GOP; in exchange for $1.6 billion in wall funding, the GOP was forced to cut hiring funds for new border agents from the omnibus.
Additionally, there are no provisions for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, something Democrats had been hoping for. Democrats shut the government down temporarily back in January to push a debate on DACA in Congress, and while the debate itself happened, nothing was ultimately accomplished to secure a deal for DACA recipients. This won’t win either party any favors from a public that supports some sort of compromise on DACA. A Harvard/Harris poll from January found the majority of Americans were in favor of a deal in Congress that would give undocumented immigrants brought by their parents work permits and a path to citizenship.
Republicans can possibly spin the wall funding as an accomplishment to constituents, as it falls in line with the president’s agenda. However, the compromise over hiring more border security may be seen by Trump’s base and immigration hardliners as a betrayal by Hill Republicans, lambasting the so-called RINOs who are trying to undercut border agents and thereby letting more illegals into the country. Democrats have more to gain politically, as they can now say they did undercut Trump’s divisive immigration policy. But when it comes to DACA and Dreamers, both parties have some explaining to do.
Next, there’s the issue of guns, a painful topic for many in the wake of last month’s shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
In the aftermath of the shooting that left 17 people dead and many more inured, a Politico/Morning Consult poll found 68 percent of registered voters favor stricter gun laws. Similarly, a poll from CBS found 65 percent of respondents believed laws regarding gun sales should be stricter, while a CNN study concluded 70 percent of Americans wanted more gun control laws. Faced with this trend, it behooved both parties to have some kind of progress on guns in this legislation.
In fact, the deal reached by Congress is somewhat modest; in addition to a $50 million-a-year grant for school safety, it also includes the Student, Teachers, and Officers Preventing, or STOP, School Violence bill, which is backed by groups such as Sandy Hook Promise. It also includes language permitting the Center for Disease Control to conduct research into gun violence but not advocate for gun control. And while there are provisions to improve the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, which bars criminals and people with mental health issues from buying guns, the compromise does not include universal background checks, something many Democrats and gun control advocates wanted.
The gun provisions are a mixed bag for both Democrats and Republicans. While Democrats can say they’ve made some strides in curbing easy access to guns, it won’t be seen as enough by their base or the majority of the public. Likewise, conservative Republicans and Second Amendment advocates are already fuming that there are any extra restrictions at all on who can or can’t buy guns. GOP leaders can tout the school safety additions, but should understand that it may only satisfy some within the party’s base who can’t see beyond gun control. Moreover, the majority of voters aren’t interested in school training as much as they are in more gun restrictions. All of which is to say that including universal background checks might have been a smart move for Republicans. Time will tell, but not heeding the polls on guns may come back to bite the GOP in November.
Spending bills by their nature are political, but the omnibus before Congress is unique; it comes as the last piece of legislation in an election year, and it comes during a hypersensitive political climate buoyed around a highly controversial president.
Republicans, for their part, have the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and whatever is in this bill to campaign on nationally and in their constituencies respectively. After their recent losses in Alabama and Pennsylvania, it’s clear that riding Donald Trump’s coattails alone isn’t enough to clinch victories. Likewise, Democrats can’t campaign solely on being anti-Trump; they must tout their advancements on issues like gun control and immigration, plus any goodies they worked into this package, if they hope to flip Congress in November.
One thing is clear: the passage of this spending bill can be seen as the unofficial start of high campaign season. How voters react to it all remains to be seen. | <urn:uuid:bfe07cb9-67a7-477d-bfed-148d5e2a96e8> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://policyinterns.com/2018/03/27/the-political-ramifications-of-omnibus-2018/ | 2018-06-21T06:14:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864039.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621055646-20180621075646-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.966857 | 1,435 | [

Some of our days are getting really nice and warm! No doubt that it’s got you thinking spring and being outdoors. As you prepare for spring and begin to think about your mulching needs, there are few things to keep in mind.
Prepare the area:
Pull weeds or cut them close to the ground, if you are mulching for weed control. While not strictly necessary, it will help the mulch, and anything under it, to lay flat, and it will slow down the weed growth. Remember, mulch prevents weed growth by excluding light.
Enrich the soil and dig the beds, if you plan to do so.
Lay down anything you want under the mulch, such as landscaping fabric or plastic.
Add a generous thickness of mulch. The depth of mulch is really important if you want to retain moisture and prevent weed growth. Aim for at least two to four inches (5-10cm) of depth.
Better yet, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of mulching (and it can make for a tiring day), give us a call! We have a Mulch Special of 10% off (when we spread it) until the end of March! | <urn:uuid:f797082a-9428-45a1-ac0c-e8397627a7e2> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.tpslandscaping.com/about/monthly-tips/69-mulch-tips-and-special.html | 2018-06-22T07:10:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864364.38/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622065204-20180622085204-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.949034 | 253 | [

HUÉ 1968: A TURNING POINT OF THE AMERICAN WAR IN VIETNAM
Mark Bowden, who wrote the phenomenally successful Black Hawk Down (book and movie), has now published the equally commendable Hué 1968, a book that will likely become the standard account of the grisly encounter that began on the first day of Tet (the Lunar New Year), January 31, 1968. For Bowden, the importance of the conflict in Hué can hardly be overstated: it resulted in the American leaders deciding to exit Viet Nam without winning the war and in American citizens coming to mistrust their leaders with rare intensity (until more recent times).
While these effects are of considerable importance, Bowden’s book succeeds on several levels for other reasons. He doesn’t write from an America-only point of view, he doesn’t make the battle’s outcomes central to the story he tells, and he tethers most of his stories to those civilians and combatants in the city’s contested precincts. Bowden in Hué 1968 gives the reader a 360 degree and an “all ranks” view of the battle.
Bowden begins evocatively by following an eighteen-year-old woman named Che Thi Mung as she rides her bicycle into Hué along the Perfume River to sell woven palm leaf hats to help support her family. She is also a committed Viet Cong operative who daily gathers information about the city’s defensive preparations and readiness for war. Up until January 1968, Hué has been spared from the war’s destruction, a blessing that is about to be withdrawn. Che gathers and turns over intelligence that will help the combined Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army attack Hué, the most decisive part of the entire Tet Offensive.
After Che’s introduction to the reader, Bowden multiplies his perspectives. His kaleidoscope picks up an enlisted Army radio man, Frank Doezema, 19, who found himself in Hué on January 30 with thirty-nine days left until his scheduled return to the States. He had seen plenty of action during his year in the country. Unusually, he had made friends with some Vietnamese during his tour.
From Che and Doezema, Bowden switches lenses to capture a few of those less connected with the reality on the ground. LBJ, a president whose interests were decidedly domestic, now found himself by November 1967 trapped into directing a war that would define his presidency. General William Westmoreland was the US commanding general who believed then and forever that the main show would be/was at Khe Sanh, a conceptual error of cataclysmic proportions.
Additionally, Bowden’s graceful prose captures the spirit, commitment, and intelligence of several North Vietnamese and Viet Cong leaders.
Agonizingly, one of the characters in this gritty tragedy is Hué itself. In the view of both North and South Vietnamese, it is the third most important city after the respective capitals of Saigon and Hanoi. It is the ancient religious and cultural capital of Viet Nam. It is home to a highly educated citizenry, many of whom, from the North Vietnamese perspective, need to be re-educated or executed as appropriate. Nearly three thousand Hue citizens will be relegated to unmarked graves. Initially, the American and South Vietnamese armies try to preserve the graceful architecture of the Citadel, Hués hub, but the exigencies of urban warfare will reduce much of it to rubble and leave the remainder punctured by bullets, grenades and rocket fire.
Mark Bowden shows us in graphic detail why the North Vietnamese lost this battle but won the war and how stupid is the old saw: “the victors write history.” The Tet Offensive and principally the battle for Hué produced a stalemate that would eventually favor the North Vietnamese; the Americans would go home in 1975 much as did the French twenty years previously. As far as victors writing history—in this war, the war the Vietnamese call the American war—it is obvious that the losers have spilled far more ink writing this history than the winners ever will. – Neal Ferguson

The burgeoning custom bicycle manufacturing scene is seeing a return to another hey-day, thanks to the efforts of Don Walker's North American Handmade Bicycle Show, now in its fifth year.
The popular consumer show began in Houston, Texas in 2005 and has made stops ins San Jose, California and Portland, Oregon before landing in Indianapolis, Indiana, right down the street from Zipp, makers of carbon wheels and components.
What began as a gathering of like-minded craftsmen, intent on showing the world that the art of handmade bicycles was not dead, has evolved into nothing short of a world-wide phenomenon. Lance Armstrong and comedian/actor Robin Williams attended last year's show, with Armstrong buying the custom Naked commuter bike for his Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop in Austin, Texas.
Stay tuned over the next few days as our tech editor James Huang reports from Indianapolis, delivering juicy photos of delicious bicycles many deem too pretty to ride. The event is held at the Indianapolis Conventer Center, with show hours 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. CST Friday and Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sunday.

I’m in the mode of “Buy American.” In so doing, I have to overcome my practice of buying Japanese cars. My Datsun and Honda represented a 25-year investment, on my part (I keep cars a long time), so switching my purchase pattern won’t be easy.
(Pic of 2013 Chevy Impala to the right. Mine, in 1967, was teal blue. Loved that car.)
I’m not like other people: I don’t change autos often. Not like my Dad. He bought a new Chevy every 4 years, whether we needed one or not. I think he viewed driving a late model car as a sign he’d arrived, that he was truly living the American Dream.
But we only ever supported Detroit, meaning we “bought American.” After all, my parents were the generation who personally knew the horror of Pearl Harbor. They weren’t likely to buy a Japanese car, no matter how economical.
This is what I recall our family owning: A turquoise and cream (maybe it was white) Chevy, hard top convertible (they were said to be ‘so cool,’)…a black and white another. I don’t really recall most of them, just knew that as soon as the payments finished (4 years out), Dad would opt for another, bring it home, and we’d all inspect it, appropriately Ooohing and Aaaahing, as we pressed buttons, worked the radio, fingered the leather interior.
We only had one car in the family. What’d Mom do, when Dad took the car to work? Stayed home, mostly. She never worked outside the home but with 6 of us (4 kids), she had plenty to do. On Fridays, she had “her day.” That’s when she got the car to go shopping, whether to the Mall when it was built, or grocery shopping, to stock the shelves or buy items we fast-growing kids needed.
What was my first car? A Chevy Malibu. I loved its rich, deep blue/green luster, with its black leather interior. I liked the fact even better that I bought it with my own money, straight out of college, when I landed my first job as teacher. Those payments, like my father’s for the family car, went on for the next 4 years.
Quite simply: We were doing our part for America, contributing to its industry. Each week, on TV, we were encouraged to “See the USA, in your Chevrolet” by none other than America’s Sweetheart, Dinah Shore.
I kept that car through 200,000 miles (with poor attention to upkeep) and only turned it in when its leaky rubber gasket around the front window drove me to distraction. I’d get out, in the early morning freeze, of 10 degrees, with a sleepy child on my hip, in the process of taking her to her sitter’s. If it rained, the accelerator stuck, and I’d have to chip away at the rubber floor mats, to release the accelerator from the floor’s icy grip (water had pooled and formed a frozen pond on the floorboards.) Not a nice way to start the day as single, working parent.
Then, there was its pre-ignition problem, as the car would start up after I turned it off (never could figure why called ‘pre-ignition.’)
On one memorable occasion, the heater coil went and water from the radiator (with fresh antifreeze I’d just added), backed up, into the car, creating a steam bath that clouded the front windows. Water sloshed around, on the floor, wicking up my bell bottom stretch pants (remember these?), making a ghoulish, green line, against the cream-colored fabric.
I kept wiping the front windshield to allow me to see, as I traveled a heavily-trafficked road. Wiping…wiping…and and telling my little one “Don’t worry, we’ll be all right,” (tho’ I worried we wouldn’t be.)
But over the years, my support for that vaulted American company, Chevrolet, waned and I joined countless others who deserted, preferring the Japanese brands: Datsun and Honda became my next cars. On one occasion of auto buying, I believed the hype about one such car and went the route of that Swedish car maker, Saab, and finally, in my realtor years, I bought the reality that “Image matters” and drove a Jaguar and then a Lexus.
But I am ever-so-pleased to note a shift in car production, as the formerly-revered Chevrolet makes a serious stride to recapture America’ s loyalty. Yep, it’s touted lately as the Comeback Kid, and I’m one who’ll welcome its reemergence on the scene as power player. After all, I can still hear Dinah Shore’s invitation, ringing in my ears, as she punches the air:
Now, for a spin down Memory Lane, click on this link to hear America’s Sweetheart, sing “See the USA”.
Read up on how Chevrolet is blowing the doors off its competitors in all categories….We’ll be checking out the product; we can’t wait to help America get its game back on, in this market.
Then, too, we plan to “See the USA,” just as Dinah suggested, and word is: We’re not a minority in this; most of us Baby Boomers are planning that same cross-country trek, determining to spend our money in our country, instead of the usual European haunts.
With Chevrolet leading the pack, we stand a good chance of re-establishing our nation’s auto dominance…You know, the way things used to be…. Here’s the article…
***Now, what’s your favorite car? Will you put your toe back into the American car pool and “Buy American” in future years? (Too bad this re-emergence didn’t happen in time to save Detroit.)
***Please note: While Colleen Kelly Mellor completes her book Patient Witness, documenting her lifetime experience with the health care industry (it’s ‘wicked interesting’ as they say in Rhode Island), she’ll post to biddybytes on Mondays, only….. | <urn:uuid:69fe545d-750c-428e-8868-32617f534e55> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://biddybytes.com/reemergence-giant/ | 2018-06-24T06:43:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866888.20/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624063553-20180624083553-00191.warc.gz | en | 0.963289 | 1,401 | [

As the name suggests, Downtown Bingo is a casino that focuses on Bingo Rooms which open at different times throughout the day and week. The casino does offer other games, which can be found under the Games tab at the top of the screen. The main website itself is busy, with different promotions being scrolled in and out, which can make navigation feel a bit confusing. There are a large amount of deposit bonuses listed on the front page as well which is always a good sign. These bonuses change frequently, so it is important to verify information before you make a deposit.
The major feature of Downtown Bingo are bingo rooms that open for new games every few minutes The price per card ranges all the way down to only $.05 per card, which makes Downtown Bingo Casino a very casual place to spend some time without risking your bank. During off-peak hours, the rooms that are open are generally lower cost per card, with some of the higher cost per card Bingo games only open on weekends.
Aside from Bingo games, Downtown Bingo Casino also offers a large selection of video slot and poker machines, over 100 in total, which cover all of the main categories such as progressives, 5 reel and 3 reel as well as exclusive slots. There is a wide selection of Video Poker games at Downtown Bingo which includes 1, 4 and 10 hand games. Due to a nice website layout, it is easy to navigate to the type of game you are most interested in playing.
Downtown Bingo Casino also offers a modest selection of table games including Poker, Baccarat, Keno, Blackjack and Roulette. It is pretty obvious the focus of this casino is on their Bingo rooms, but it is nice to have the option to take a break from Bingo and play some other games.
Downtown Bingo offers a large amount of promotions, contests and deposit bonuses, so many so that you might have to do a bit of research to determine which bonus will work best for you depending on the games you want to play. Probably the most unconventional of their bonuses is their starter deposit matching bonus, which includes matching for your first three deposits. This bonus offers a 500% matching on your first deposit, 600% on your second deposit, and 400% on your third deposit. The reason why this deposit bonus is so unconventional and special is that there is no wagering requirement or play-through requirement. Your winnings can be withdrawn immediately. Because of the focus of this Casino, this deposit bonus can only be used in the Bingo rooms. There are other promotions available at Downtown Bingo Casino which occur seasonally. Right now, in the summer of 2016, there is a contest to win a Mediterranean Cruise as well as a few special Bingo rooms with enhanced prizes. | <urn:uuid:bf59e7ae-db00-4e6e-bbf8-9c976199dd5d> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://worldcasinoreviews.com/downtown-bingo-casino-review/ | 2018-06-25T06:20:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867493.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625053151-20180625073151-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.967983 | 569 | [

Audience Reviews for Lake Placid
I love genre-bending movies, and especially those that mix horror with comedy. That puts me dead center of the target demographic of this film. The plot is pretty silly and there certainly isn't enough action for anyone looking for scares. What saves it is the script. It's witty and never takes itself too seriously. The characters are all foils for one another, setting up some of the most entertaining dialog of any movie I know. The plot revolves around a 30 foot Asian crocodile somehow winding up in a lake in Maine - go figure. What makes the movie are the characters assembled to do something about it. Bridget Fonda is an annoying paleontologist who's never before ventured out of her museum. Here, she plays both the archetypal fish out of water as well as potential romantic interest for the local game warden, played by Bill Pullman. The essential characters are rounded out by Brendan Gleeson's dour sheriff, Oliver Platt's rich and eccentric mythology buff, and Betty White as the colorful local little old lady with a secret or two. As I said, reduced to a plot outline, it's pretty unimpressive, but the verbal barbs that fly back and forth between the characters are what make the show. It's an "action/horror" movie I could watch with my eyes shut and still enjoy. 5 Stars 11-05-13
To begin with its not even Lake Placid, but some other lake, this one up in Maine ("the graveyard of horror!" ... I just said that. I don't know if its true. Like the sound of it though. London's maybe the real graveyard ... anyway ) and there's something in the water, something big, and its eating people. Funny and cool creature feature.
Lake Placid I believe is a very underrated film. The film seems to be crucified by the fact it was written by Alley McBeal creator, David E. Kelly. If you can get past this fact, Lake Placid is a very entertaining horror comedy. The acting is decent at best and the scares are good enough, but the film works because it is entertaining and is meant to be a fun film to watch. The film's story is about a killer larger than life crocodile, and the hunt to capture it. With a script laced with tongue and cheeks humour, Lake Placid is different killer creature film. The films humour does get nerve racking at times, but considering the length of the film, in the end you don't care. If you like silly horror films, then you'll most likely want to watch this film.Veteran horror director Steve Miner (Friday The 13th Part 2, 3, House, Halloween H20) directs this film with wit, and Minder definitely knows how to craft a good, fun, B movie style creature film. Even if Lake Placid is flawed, this is still a very good little film. A fairly good effort in general, Lake Placid manages to combine Silliness with decent enough horror element. This film can definitely be seen as an introduction to a horror film for people who are new to the genre. The film will probably appeal to a younger, more ripe horror crowd who can't handle films such as The Exorcist. If you're new to horror and want a killer creature film, then watch this one or Jaws. This is fairly soft in it's horror themes to appeal to people who would usually hate the genre due to the fact that it's too intense.
Lake Placid Quotes
|Hank Keogh:||I never heard of a crocodile crossing an ocean.|
|Hector Cyr:||Well, they conceal information like that in books.|
|Hank Keogh:||Was that, like, a homosexual remark You know Hector, I'm sure you're a fine person in your own mental way, but I think it would be best if you and I didn't speak.|
|Hank Keogh:||I'm going to say this because I believe in being straight with people: I think you are a mental.|
|Hector Cyr:||Sheriff, I appreciate your candor, really I do. I think it's always good to know where somebody's coming from and frankly your origins have been a bit of a mystery ... to me.|
|Hector Cyr:||Let's not overlook the fact that he didn't eat me.|
|Jack Wells:||'Cause he just ate a cow, stupid!| | <urn:uuid:968c3da5-dc22-465b-afcb-d1eef88bdb44> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/lake_placid/ | 2018-06-25T06:40:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867493.99/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625053151-20180625073151-00511.warc.gz | en | 0.958417 | 1,022 | [

I was inspired by Dylan Ryder's week-long integrated project week course at the school where we work. Dylan led students in researching interesting, bizarre, or unique animals, constructing their habitats and creating felted models of the animals. Viewers could interact with and learn about the animals via Scratch projects the students programmed. Some projects even contained LEGO WeDo sensors and motors to make the models move when people approached them, for example.
During our spring break I caught part of "Planet Earth 2" on television, specifically the bowerbird section.
I immediately tweeted at Dylan a premise for a new game, which he named "Tidy Bower."
Back at work, I constructed a bower from cardboard. I cut many strips of cardboard to form the bower, which I housed in a cardboard box that fit over the screen of a laptop. I lined the sides and top of the box with light blue construction paper. The "floor" of the box was covered with a color printout of a forest floor.
I used a broken headphone as the left controller, a metal washer as the ground, and a piece of brass soldering iron "cleaner" for the right controller. Each were connected to wires poked through the cardboard. The wires are taped to the box. I can clip the wires with alligator clips to a Makey Makey.
Ideas for improvement of the Scratch project could include having a potential mate appear and size up the score before deciding to stay or go! Also, there is a bug in how diamonds and baubles will fall from the piles and if the bowerbird is underneath, can quickly rack up points! Have fun and remix the project after building your own bower! | <urn:uuid:a5b762e8-e0e9-4bf5-86b4-e59330a49a53> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://joshburker.blogspot.com/2017/04/tidy-bower-scratch-makey-game.html | 2018-06-18T07:24:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860089.13/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618070542-20180618090542-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.949204 | 353 | [

Subject: letter from an Obama Supporter
I’ve been a daily reader of your blog for the last year or so, and wish I had come across it sooner. As an Atlanta native it gives me a daily reminder of home.
So, now for the point of this email. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m an Obama supporter. Having said that, I think that I just keep an open mind about the truth in everything and never blindly follow anyone. Every point that you make is intelligent and thoughtful whether I agree or not.
The magic of it being your blog is that you are free to express whatever your opinion is and as a reader, I’m free to agree or disagree, read or not read.
Thanks for your blog and please know that you have loyal readers who won’t leave because I don’t agree.

Because no design registration took place, Basil had to invoke its copyrights and its unregistered design rights. The claim based on copyright failed. The design is too basic and its looks are determined by function. The claim based on an unregistered design do stick, however.
The combination of the distinctive elements are not found in any existing baskets. The Java basket does not differ sufficiently from this, and it was also based on the Basil design. Basil’s claim on design rights was therefore successful. The only drawback is that the prohibition and the damages were limited. An unregistered design only has a life span of three years. An actual registration can last up to 25 years and would have earned Basil much higher damages. | <urn:uuid:084cee4f-23c4-4ff6-b1ee-ac30a96cf8fc> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://trademarkagency.abcor.eu/merkennieuws/modellenrecht/%20bicycle-basket-is-a-european-union-design-but-has-no-copyright | 2018-06-20T09:14:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267863516.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20180620085406-20180620105406-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.984823 | 145 | [

While in Colorado I came across a scapbook of Valentine's from the early 1940's. A mother of a loved only child had put together an album of Valentines received from aunts and uncles. When the young man was school age, cards were added from friends. This one struck me as the perfect Valentine to send from two bloggers asking our loyal readers to be ours! | <urn:uuid:d4201347-f239-4357-b9d2-32d9670a2ab3> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://commonbonddesign.com/blog/2013/02/happy-valentines-day-from.html | 2018-06-21T10:41:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864139.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621094633-20180621114633-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.98895 | 85 | [

I'm almost done - It should be only one more lesson, then it's finished. I've smoothened it up a bit today, and I ended up carving the writing in more.
That's my clock to the left there. The pieces are from Anisha's clock (It smashed D:) Eniwei, It's meant to be an ouroboros, and the dial says "Time is a circle" in English, Norwegian, and runes, as well as "Time is eternal" and "Time is now" in runes. I think I know which colours I'll go for as well (For the serpent, that is. I've got no idea about the dial) | <urn:uuid:2b849c87-3651-4c3c-b990-221b94351cbf> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://painterlywolf.blogspot.com/2012/11/soon-done.html | 2018-06-21T10:41:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864139.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621094633-20180621114633-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.986557 | 142 | [

Sun-dried tomatoes can be made in the oven using 2 pounds of plum tomatoes that are cut lengthwise. Place the cut side up on a baking sheet, and season with salt. Let the tomatoes stand for 20 minutes. Roast in a 250 degrees Fahrenheit oven for about four hours, until the tomatoes are slightly dry but still have juice. Drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with thyme.Continue Reading
Sun-dried tomatoes can also be made using a dehydrator. Use 7 to 8 pounds of firm plum tomatoes that have been stemmed with the hard core removed. Cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds without removing the pulp. Mix 1 teaspoon each of basil, oregano and thyme with 2 teaspoons salt. Sprinkle a small amount of this mixture on each tomato. Place the tomatoes cut side up on a dehydrator tray, and set the temperature to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Turn the tomatoes over after four to five hours, and press them flat using a spatula. After a few hours, turn again, and flatten gently. Continue drying until done.
Sun-dried tomatoes may be made in advance and refrigerated. They should be brought to room temperature before serving. Commercially made sun-dried tomatoes spend up to 10 days in the sun for the drying process to be complete. Larger tomatoes lose up to 93 percent of their weight in the process. Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in lycopene, antioxidants and vitamin C.Learn more about Vegetables | <urn:uuid:cfbfd7c2-f323-465b-962e-d00ac230137a> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.reference.com/food/make-sun-dried-tomatoes-oven-9d1c2f320459e2aa | 2018-06-21T10:00:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864139.22/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621094633-20180621114633-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.913284 | 312 | [

Just last week at Nakumatt Thika Road, the Christmas scene was having the usual very tall tree, lights and all the decorations and trimmings that go with it. The newest addition was the Polar Bears. So when a friend MTO snapped the scene, it became a point of discussion in my house but also on the FB.
Thank God the Nativity Scene brought back into our TRM. Yeah, I know Jesus is not popular in some circles, but hey he is King of Kings. King over Christmas trees and Polar bears.
So am happy that some children will this Christmas ask ” Who is the baby in the manger?” and someone will answer ” Long time ago in Bethlehem…”.
As we pass by to buy ice cream, to gawk at wonderful displays, to eat at the food court or to simply stroll as a family or alone, we must pause at the Nativity Scene and for a brief moment remember that God loved you and me so much that he gave his one and only son…not the lifeless block of baby in the manger but King of Kings and LORD of Lords.

Yes I’m a feminist. No i don’t hate men.
I had to write it. Not only because i had almost offended (unintentionally) a couple of people but also that i always wanted the world to know this.
Well of course abla naari (helpless woman) is an image that has been stuck to the fairer sex of the society since forever. Whether painters or writers, doctors or mathematicians, women in the ancient times had been suppressed, had not given opportunities and if at all they dared to come ahead were condemned with great public opinion. I still end up meeting a lot of people who tell me similar things,people who are mean, inhuman and ignorant, who are as ancient as those stories, which is unfortunate and i’d really pray for them.
As responsible women we try to endorse or encourage the idea of a confident woman. Yes we do. But that in no way implies that we are trying to, as some people might ridiculously call it ‘compete’ with men.
There is no competition. The union of both male and female is responsible for the world that exists today, is proof of the fact that we aren’t competitors, we are here to be together. That is what feminism is all about.
The first time i ever met a feminist was my English teacher, whom i’m more than grateful to, for so many things she has done to me and is unaware of. Yes she told me i didn’t have to give up but at the same time was the one who made a much more open minded person.
My father, isn’t my hero. No i wouldn’t call him a hero. He is God to me. I have no idea what exists above but if it someone. I hear a male voice. I feel his presence when i feel His.
My brother, my first love. The first time i ever wanted to protect something, it was my brother. He looked up on me. He loved me and wanted me around. I’d be the hero for him no matter what the world said. No matter how many times i failed. I was still the hero. I still am. This is what love is, if at all it exists in the face of the earth.
My best friends, my support. Two people who come from two completely different worlds but people who have stood by me. Whether the weather was warm or stormy. Nothing mattered. I have cried my heart, i have laughed my lungs out. I have felt at home whenever i was with them. They are men.
Well I’m yet to fall in love but i completely leave it for the time to come.
Whether it is Robin Williams or G. H. Hardy. Inspiration occurs without keeping in mind the sex of the people who inspire us. If Jane Austen would have been a man, I would have loved her as much. Maybe a bit more who knows (winks)
What i mean to say is. Friendship and love are two things that won’t care about your gender. (i don’t know if this is the stupidest sentence ever made but it makes complete sense)
Equality. Is. What. We. Need. | <urn:uuid:3d794f88-6373-4b88-88e9-d8b4e2a3bd76> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://lifesawordplay.wordpress.com/2015/02/06/no-i-dont-hate-men-yes-im-a-feminist/ | 2018-06-22T09:20:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864387.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622084714-20180622104714-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.981362 | 681 | [

Young Clarksville builder embraces old European customs
Modern homebuilding requires detailed blueprints, mathematical formulas and fractional measurements. Not part of the equation – customs and traditions.
However, when contemporary building techniques and unique designs are blended with traditions, it transcends sticks and stones into art forms.
A young Clarksville builder embraces his old European heritage and its quaint customs. He infuses foreign designs and traditions into his homes, then delivers spectacular results.
Meet R. Paul Krueckeberg III, a rambunctious 31-year-old Tennessee native who has made Clarksville home for his active family of four. Paul’s grandfather, a Korean War Distinguish Service Cross recipient, was influential in Paul’s development. Paul’s dad, also a decorated veteran, set Paul on a path toward his construction career when Paul was very young. Paul came to work for his Dad after graduating from the University of Memphis. Paul watched, listened and learned from a true craftsman. Following in his father’s footsteps, Paul has become an exclusive, custom homebuilder, who adds his own European flair to the homes he builds.
Attesting to his ancestral roots from Europe, Paul, president and owner of Krueckeberg Exclusive Homes, plants an evergreen tree at his build sites. But his tree isn’t planted in the ground; it’s anchored to the tallest rafter of the home. The ritual is called a Richtfest, commonly called a Builder’s Party or “topping-out” ceremony. It’s an expression of workers’ pride that the rough framing has been completed – a homebuilding milestone.
It turns out that this unique evergreen tree celebration has its own ancient roots and many debated beginnings. Most say its origin is Scandinavian and practiced for more than a thousand years. Wherever the origin, the practice has even been carried out atop the new World Trade Center, and smaller buildings and homes around the world.
Recently, a “topping-out” ceremony was held in a southeast corner of Clarksville at a home site along Sango Road.
“The tree is a charming addition to the building process,” said Steve Sanderson, the future homeowner of one of Paul’s custom projects. “Paul’s workmanship and attention to detail is unlike any other homebuilder I have ever met.
“His homes designs are like visiting Europe; his workmanship reminds me of how painstakingly precise the old masters would do it.”
The event drew leaders from the Clarksville Edelweiss Club to come out for the occasion.
“It’s great to see the community join in and celebrate a unique European tradition like this ‘topping-out event,’” said Debbie Whitaker, club president. “Attending activities like this and others that are more familiar, like Oktoberfest and Fasching, allow us to immerse ourselves in European culture firsthand.”
Incorporating timeless traditions like the “topping-out” ceremony further testifies the pride the construction crews have in their craft.
Whatever the slant, all stories claim the evergreen observance symbolizes positive things – good luck for future occupants, continued growth and a safe job site – and celebrates an important achievement in a building’s birth. It’s a sign that a construction project has reached its literal apogee, its most auspicious point.
Leveraging the traditions of old-world design, Paul’s contemporary construction projects often include castle turrets and towers; and he builds them strong enough to be fortresses. Even the peaks of his homes are topped with stately copper finials.
Visit one of Paul’s custom homes in the Clarksville area. It’s cheaper than flying to Europe, and you’ll come home richer for it.

BLOOD donor sessions will be returning to sports and community centres.
NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) decided to move the sessions away from mobile blood vans and back to static centres after listening to the views of those who give blood.
Claire Williams said: “We introduced the blood mobile sessions as they allowed us to hold sessions more often and get to more towns and villages.
“But some of our donors told us that they preferred giving blood in static buildings, as these venues were better able to deal with large numbers in comfort.”

If investors want Santa to deliver their holiday gifts this year, both Ben Bernanke and Barack Obama will need to help pull the sleigh.
In the case of the Federal Reserve chairman, the market is awaiting another round of money printing to push the S&P 500 past resistance at 1,420, according to Ed Sollbach, a strategist at Desjardins Securities.
As for the president, investors need him and house speaker John Boehner to steer the U.S. economy past the fiscal cliff.
Mr. Sollbach assigns a 90% probability to the Fed expanding its quantitative easing program by 25-50% at its December 11-12 meeting in order to compensate for the potential fiscal cliff and the scheduled year-end expiry of Operation Twist.
He expects a deal will be reached to transform the US$600-billion fiscal cliff into a ‘fiscal bump’ of roughly US$200-billion of modest tax hikes and spending cuts.
“However, given the acrimony in Washington, a deal will be difficult to achieve and it will likely go down to the wire until Christmas Eve,” Mr. Sollbach told clients. “Investors are likely facing higher capital gains taxes, so more selling of winners will continue through year-end.”
Since President Obama’s only spending cuts are US$800-billion ‘savings’ from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the strategist expects the political compromise will see high spending and most of President Bush’s tax cuts remain. The result, Mr. Sollbach noted, will be annual deficits remaining in the US$1-trillion range.
“Bond supply should continue to increase, eventually even overwhelming the 33-year bond bubble,” he said.
The strategist also anticipates further money printing by the Fed will drive gold prices back to the 2011 high of US$1,923 per ounce. | <urn:uuid:82d8a750-ccb7-49fe-93a6-b04eecb2f3fe> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://business.financialpost.com/investing/trading-desk/be-careful-what-you-wish-for | 2018-06-24T09:01:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267866926.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20180624083011-20180624103011-00551.warc.gz | en | 0.93706 | 403 | [

Recently I came upon two articles in the New York Times that I found very engaging. The first is an article by Christopher Solomon, who writes for Outside magazine. The title of this piece is “America’s Wildest Place Is Open for Business.” It is both disturbing and evocative at the same time. It is the story of a huge tract of wilderness in northern Alaska that the present administration wants to tap for oil and gas. Apparently there is a lot of that stuff under the ground, but what is above ground is absolute pristine wilderness of incredible beauty and enormous size. But what I would like to point to is not just an “environmental issue,” but rather it is our disregard, our trashing, our actual destruction of authentic sacred space. (By the way look at what they want to do with Bear’s Ears too down here in the lower 48.)
I will begin by simply quoting from the beginning of the article:
“Several years ago a mapping expert pinpointed the most remote place in the Lower 48 states. The spot was in the southeast corner of Yellowstone National Park, 20 miles from the nearest road. Roman Dial read the news and wasn’t much impressed. To him, 20 miles — the distance a hungry man could walk in a long day — didn’t seem very remote at all.
Mr. Dial is a professor of biology and mathematics at Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, and a National Geographic explorer. He decided to figure out the most remote place in the entire nation. His calculations led him to the northwest corner of Alaska, where the continent tilts toward the Arctic Ocean. The spot lay on the Ipnavik River on the North Slope, 119 miles west of the Haul Road (otherwise known as the Dalton Highway), which brings supplies and roughnecks to the oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. Judged by miles, Mr. Dial reckoned, the place was six times more isolated than that corner in Yellowstone. So he decided to walk there. On the journey he and his companion didn’t see anyone else for 24 days.
Their destination lay within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. NPR-A, as it is known, is the single largest parcel of public land in the United States. The reserve sprawls across nearly 23 million acres, which makes it larger than Maine or South Carolina or 10 other states. The reserve’s eastern border sits about 100 miles to the west of the more famous Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Separating the two like a thorn between roses lies the industrial sprawl of Prudhoe Bay.
If the reserve still doesn’t ring a bell, you’re not alone. Even Google Earth doesn’t know it, though the reserve is 10 times the size of Yellowstone. ‘It is the wildest place in America that you’ve never heard of,” as one conservationist recently told me. Yet the reserve deserves attention, now more than ever. The Trump administration has declared the nation’s public lands and waters open for business, particularly to oil and gas companies. In its first six months the administration offered more onshore leases to energy companies to drill on public property than the Obama administration did in all of 2016, the secretary of interior, Ryan Zinke, boasted to the conservative Heritage Foundation in late September. ‘Our goal is an America that is the strongest energy superpower that this world has ever known,’ he told the group, and added, ‘the road to energy dominance goes through the great state of Alaska.’
Nowhere is this more evident than on the North Slope. In April, Mr. Trump signed an executive order aimed at lifting President Barack Obama’s closure of federal Arctic waters to drilling, a decision now being challenged in court. Both the administration and the Republican-held Congress are trying yet again to open the Arctic refuge for oil exploration, an effort that provoked a fierce battle a dozen years ago.”
So the article goes on at quite some length. It is filled with facts of a political, of an economic, of a social nature. But it also describes with some eloquence the environmental significance of this land, its beauty and its manifold connections to so many forms of wildlife. Mr. Solomon does not explicitly say so, but he is in fact delineating a “sacred space” of sorts in the same way that John Muir did with the Sierras over a century ago. Muir sometimes referred to that wilderness as his “cathedral.” To refer to these kind of spaces in such a manner is not sentimentality or romantic effusions. Rather this is a sense, articulate or not, of the numinous, the divine, the mystery within the Mystery as the Taoists would put it, the recognition and intuition and contemplation of the incredibly complex interrelatedness in which we live and breathe and act and die. Living within society it is not impossible to have all this, yet it is also very noteworthy that most people simply become lost in all the diversions of human constructs that we surround ourself with. The end result is a kind of sleepwalking existence, yet it may be quite noisy, quite frenetic. Thoreau saw all this almost two hundred years ago.
Mr. Solomon laments the imminent destruction of this beautiful wilderness, but what you read between the lines as it were is a lament for the destruction of all sacred space because this is what the meaning of this destruction is all about. We are not just destroying a parcel of land, huge though it be; we are destroying our very sensitivity to that which transcends our petty greedy grasp. We are ultimately destroying our very selves.
Here is the link to that whole article:
The other piece that struck me was an obituary in the New York Times of Katie Lee, a folk singer from the 40s and 50s and 60s. She died recently at the age of 98. She was not as well known to the general populace as Joni Mitchell or Joan Baez, and probably not as talented as these two, but people in folk song circles knew her quite well. People like Burl Ives, Josh White, and Ramblin Jack Elliott admired her. Ives said, “The best cowboy singer I know is a girl–Katie Lee.”
At first her repertoire was traditional for folk singers of the early 50s, but a new awareness was brewing within her. Growing up in the desert country of Arizona she fell in love with the desert wilderness and especially the great desert canyons and rivers, like the Colorado and all its tributaries. Incredible country indeed! One particular area held an especially deep attraction: the Glen Canyon area. Many there were who said that this canyon complex was as majestic as the Grand Canyon. So when it was proposed to dam the Colorado at this point and drown the canyons under water, Katie was shaken to the depths of her soul.
From the obituary: “Her enchantment with Glen Canyon began in 1953 during a visit with friends and continued when she became a river runner. She adored its rapids, and the breezes that she said sounded like voices speaking to her. She swam nude in its potholes and waterfalls. She explored its 125 contoured side canyons, each of them named (some by her), and each one a different aesthetic experience. ‘When they drowned that place, they drowned my whole guts,’ she said in an interview in 2010 at Telluride MountainFilm, a documentary festival. ‘And I will never forgive the bastards. May they rot in hell.’”
You can feel her anger, and it is like the anger of Jesus chasing the money-changers out of the Temple. Katie wanted to chase these same money-changers out of this Temple. She joined such legendary figures as David Brower, the head of the Sierra Club at that time and author Edward Abbey, one of our greatest champions of the desert wilderness in their concerted opposition to this “blasphemous” destruction of a rare sacred space. Katie became known as the “Desert Goddess of Glen Canyon.” But their fiery opposition proved futile–just as it happened with John Muir’s opposition to the Hetchy Hetch dam in Yosemite. The money interests seem to always win. But that didn’t stop Katie from writing songs of protest: From the obituary:
“In ‘Colorado River Songs,’ an album she released in 1964, she pilloried the Bureau of Reclamation.
Three jeers for the Wreck-the-Nation Bureau
Freeloaders with souls so pure-o
Wiped out the good Lord’s work in six short years.”
But you can see that her protest came from a deeper place within her, that Glen Canyon had affected her heart much more than just as “beautiful scenery.” From the obituary:
“She added: “I had a cause! A cause that didn’t center on me-me-me: one that asked nothing of me, really, yet was far from mute. I’d never had a cause before, but now there was a place, almost a person, that needed my help.”
She never let up, even in old age, even when the environmental movement became stagnant and superficial and willing to compromise with the powers that be. Her fiery nature never got old; her keen sense of the magnitude of this blasphemy never faded. From the obituary:
“Ms. Lee recalled in “All My Rivers Are Gone” that while on a trip to Glen Canyon in 1957, a year after the first dynamite blast that initiated construction of the dam, she took a break from lunch, stared at the river and talked to the water. “I feel betrayed. Homo sapiens! Greedy pathetic fools with a genetic mania to destroy all the sanctuaries that feed their souls. Well, hell, I don’t give a damn if we’re blotted out. I don’t want to be a part of the human race when I see the pimps in government and the whores who do their bidding. I’d rather be a coyote.”
From the few coyotes I have met, I would say it would be an honor to be among them! And I am sure that Katie and all her coyote friends are in the all-loving embrace of the One who crafted all of us. | <urn:uuid:5d5df610-561c-4a28-9d2a-6c21b11ab5cc> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://monksway.com/2017/11/21/the-last-great-place/ | 2018-06-25T10:09:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267867644.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20180625092128-20180625112128-00231.warc.gz | en | 0.969422 | 2,202 | [

A Historical Perspective of Duffee Finishing, Inc.
Duffee Finishing, Inc. (DFI) began operations in 1967 with Bob Duffee as the owner/operator. It was Bob¡¯s commitment to fill the niche for small job shops and individuals for quality coating applications for small-run metal products that the large coating companies were not equipped to handle. During those early years only liquid applications were offered and colors were limited.
In 1987, DFI purchased the first batch oven and began offering powder coating in addition to liquid applications. As demand for liquid application diminished, and powder coating became an industry choice for coverage largely due to its durability and choice of colors and textures, DFI kept pace with industry requirements by expanding the facility, purchasing modern equipment, and increasing its employee base in order to continue to provide up to date powder coating processing for metal products.
DFI¡¯s tradition as a family owned and operated corporation expanded in 1991 with the addition of Todd Cochran as Vice President. DFI continues to provide the highest quality, professional powder coating application in a consumer friendly service oriented manner. Our family name and 40 year reputation stands behind each product we coat.
Duffee Finishing, Inc. is committed to providing high quality powder coating applications at affordable prices. We are dedicated to customer service by offering our customers a direct link to our management staff for the purpose of creating a hands-on, long term, and mutually beneficial business relationship.
This is a company that is proud to have been a leader in the powder coating industry in Central Ohio for 40 years!

My friend C and I were chatting the other day about the old days at the law firm, back when we worked together almost 10 years ago. She is moving away in November and I will miss our chats.
She's one of those friends who posts work rants on Facebook and I understand every word and meaning, as we do the same job. I get it. Sometimes the inner b*tch comes out in you. Mine is named Lisa; C's is ChristinE, with an "E" ending. (no offense to the Lovely Lisa's and Classy Christine's out there).
Here's the scoop - my name is close to "Lisa", but it's not. After being called "Lisa" for years and not getting anywhere when politely correcting people of what my actual name is, I had had enough and one day my inner b*tch came out to play.
At the old firm, office supplies sales people from corporate businesses used to stop by the office periodically (and unannounced) to advise us of their GREAT sales and why WOULDN'T we switch providers to THEM? Every time, the answer was the same: because we already have a provider who gives us great service and great deals, and they are a local company. We want to support them.
One salesperson in particular, Doris, used to stop by quite regularly and give the same spiel every time about her great service and how we should want to have her as a sales rep. She looked a bit like Delta Burke on Designing Women. Haughtiness at its finest. You know the kind.....she takes one look at you and pegs you for one of those stupid young people who doesn't know a thing, and it's written all over her (heavily made-up) face.
If she only knew . . .
So one day, Doris stopped by, unannounced as usual. After being called "Lisa" for the umpteenth time that day, and I actually had a person tell me "yah, whatever" after I politely corrected them, I was ready for Doris.
Doris pranced into the office and gave me her prissy fake smile and haughty look.
"Hi Dear, do you need any supplies today?"
"No, we just put in an order yesterday."
"Oh!! Who does your ordering?"
Pause. Lightbulb moment.
"Oh, is she here?"
"No, she only works part-time".
"Do you know when she'll be in next?"
"Nope. She only comes in when Ron needs her to come in."
"Oh, okay.......well, I'll just leave this catalog for her then." She places the catalog on the reception counter and pats it like the good little puppy it is, and leaves.
I smirked and pitched the catalog in the recycling bin. C came back from lunch and laughed hysterically when I told her we have a new worker in the office, "Lisa".
About a week later, I answered the phone and it was Doris.
"Yes, can I speak to the person who does your ordering? I can't recall her name."
"Oh...yes, that's LISA, but she's not in today."
"That's too bad, I missed her again! When is she in next?"
"Not sure. It hasn't been too busy lately, so it might be awhile."
"Okay, well I'll follow up in a few weeks then?"
I left to my now-job shortly thereafter, but C told me she kept up with Lisa Chirade for a while until she never heard from Doris again. Every once in awhile, I'll phone C and tell the receptionist that "It's Doris calling!! She'll know who it is!" | <urn:uuid:1c5267ea-9dc0-4811-bdaa-145fb59f7a51> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://magnificentoregregious.blogspot.com/2012/09/its-knockout.html | 2018-06-18T13:12:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.979223 | 794 | [

During my Victory Garden years, we grew a lot of different types of onions. Or rather, Kip Anderson, our gardener, grew a lot of different onions. I was nonplussed. After all, can’t you just buy a bag of onions for a buck or two at the store?
You can, but that would be like saying ‘can’t you just buy a loaf a bread?’ You can, but oh the difference. Onions are just like that: some to eat fresh, some to store, some hot, some mild, some brown, green, white, purple — the variations are endless.
There are only two real tricks to the onion game: the first is day length. Our friends at Bonnie Plants sum up the difference nicely:
- In the North (the area north of a line drawn from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.), summer days are long. This region encompasses zone 6 and colder. If you garden in this area, grow long-day onions.
- In the South, summer days don’t vary as much in length from winter ones. This region includes zone 7 and warmer. If you garden in this area, grow short-day onions.
- Day-neutral (sometimes called intermediate) onions form bulbs in any zone, but are especially suited for gardeners in zones 5 and 6.
It’s also widely known that it’s easiest to sow onion seeds indoors and then plant what are referred to as sets directly into the garden. But what is not so well advertised is that onions belong to the group of plants whose seeds prefer (or require) darkness to germinate. For years I’ve noticed spotty germination with my onion seeds, and then by chance I left an empty flat over half of the planting tray. The side that was covered had close to 100% germination, the side that was open to the sun had very little germination at all. So henceforth, an empty flat over the planting flat until the seeds peek above the soil.
So simple, but not, unless you know. | <urn:uuid:e1d09e1f-9d07-400f-95c6-3cb369a6c620> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://michaelweishan.com/gardenblog/?p=3845 | 2018-06-18T13:07:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.956335 | 436 | [

This app note has two best circuits: first, Figure 6 shows a wideband thermal RMS-to-DC converter. This circuit uses the old servo-multiplier (or light-bulb multiplier) technique of using a feedback loop to force two matched parameters (in this case, the heat produced in the two composite thermistors) to have equal value. We'll see this circuit again. The flowmeter (Figure 8) and anemometer (Figure 11) are related tricks.
The second celebrity circuit is on the final page: Jim's obsession with the HP200 makes an early appearance. Figure 12 is an op-amp recreation of the Hewlett-Packard HP200 audio oscillator circuit (and the references include William Hewlett's thesis). While the flowmeter and anemometer are useful applications, I wonder if they weren't just a set up so that he could justify spending time at work playing with Hewlett's light-bulb circuit.
The other applications are also interesting and instructive. Figure 1 shows an interesting temperature controller (but the LT3525A is now discontinued). The explanation includes a simplified discussion of the various delays and time constants in a heat flow problem, but the full story is much worse: it's not just a multiple-time-constant system, it's a diffusion-equation system! Also, his discussion of insulation needs a caveat about the trade-off: you want to keep the losses small to save power, but large enough to allow the system to quickly recover from an over-temperature condition. Regardless, using the 50-ohm resistor and switch to check the loop response is a great idea, but the loop response needs to be checked for positive steps (when the heater heats) and negative steps (when the losses cool). He only shows the former. (Also, I don't think he needs the 100M resistor in the integrator, but that's another discussion.)
The circuit in Figure 4 uses a CA3096 array to thermally stabilize the feedback transistor in a log amp. This neat trick is also used to thermally stabilize a VCO in National Semiconductor's App Note 286. I'll comment here: Yikes! That LM301A has a huge compensation capacitor! A 33nF capacitor gives a unity-gain frequency of 1 kHz and a slew rate of 0.5 V/ms (yes, volts per millisecond). Replace the LM301A and 33nF with an integrator, and I think you'll get better (and more repeatable) performance. Looking back at Figure 1, is Jim afraid of integrators? I'm guessing Bob Widlar didn't consult on this circuit.
Best quote (page AN5-1): "The close relationship between temperature and electronic devices is the source of more design headaches than any other consideration."

I have a couple exciting things to share with you!
6 Inch Heels Forever
For a long time I’ve been considering buying high heels from an online store called “6 Inch Heels Forever” but have been a little concerned about buying directly from China and frankly I find their website a little difficult to navigate. Their heels are quite extreme, very unique and absolutely gorgeous, in my opinion.
Well, I recently learned that they have opened a retail store in Toronto!!! I am sooo there .. but it might take a couple weeks to get there. I’m interested in learning how “walkable” some of their extreme arch styles are.
After I go shopping I’ll be sure to add a photo album or two here for those of you who are as into heels as I am. And if anyone is looking for a gift for me, please consider something from these guys. A little pricey, but I’m worth it .. or not .. *giggling*
Now, I rarely endorse anyone here on my site but I have to tell you about someone I met recently who I think the world needs to know about. Vanessa Thompson is an extremely talented singer-song writer, is drop-dead gorgeous and has the voice of an angel.
She gave me permission to mention her here. Please check out her website and her videos on YouTube. And while you’re there, spend a dollar or two to download her music. Who knows, if we’re all really nice to her, she might just let me post her photo on my “Friends” page.
Vanessa, I wish you all the best in your career. | <urn:uuid:8f5cf6b5-a125-4a7b-abcd-b6bfd247f23c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://seleenak.com/2009/05/ | 2018-06-18T13:26:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.962304 | 351 | [

ICA is a international non-governmental organization based in France, which operates under the French legal system, and the status of an association under the law of 1901.
ICA governance relies on the principles of transparency, democracy and accountability. ICA is an organization for archive professionals and institutions and it has no political affiliation.
ICA governance is ruled by a constitution . The constitution describes the role, mission and responsibilities of the various bodies composing the organization.
ICA governance is in the hands of two main bodies: the General Assembly is the highest decision-making body in the ICA and decides on long-term strategic directions as well as the management of the organization. In between GAs, responsibility for ICA's performance lies with the Executive Board, which implement the GA decisions and, if necessary, propose adjustments to the strategic directions.
ICA leaders and officers are elected by voting members. The Secretariat takes the lead in coordinating day to day operations. | <urn:uuid:643e343a-8dd3-4f77-a81d-8059046e5e29> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.ica.org/en/about-governance | 2018-06-18T13:31:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267860557.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618125242-20180618145242-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.949137 | 190 | [

What does the elephant look like?
African elephants have dark gray skin, ears width is 4 feet and have tusks. They also have no bumps on its forehead. Asian elephants have light gray skin and sometimes have pink or white spots. It has two humps on its forehead just above the ears. Asian elephants ears are typically have the size of the African elephants. They both have very long tusks.
What are the different types of elephants? Describe them
The different types of elephants are the African elephants and Asian elephants (also known as Indian elephants) African elephants are the larger of the two different types of elephants. Some Asian elephants are called makhnas, if they have no tusks. There are two different types of African elephants. They are forest elephants and bush elephants, also known as savanna elephants.

Snap on your crash helmet, fire up your Formula I, and slam it into first. Power through the first turn and you're off on a Grand Prix class racing circuit. The faster you push your race car the more alert you have to be. You may slide off the track and into a maze of grass and trees. You may find yourself skidding into a pond. Or you may find yourself halfway through a hairpin turn before you know it. Whether you race against an opponent or against the clock, there are thrills enough for anybody.

New Orleans, Louisiana: my favorite city in the United States by a long shot. With a history so fascinating and scandalous, the only thing they taught us about New Orleans in school was that the U.S. acquired it in 1803 in the Louisiana Purchase. When you visit New Orleans and become familiar with its past and its people, the place gets under your skin. Like the song says, then you know what it means to miss New Orleans, and the feeling gets stronger the longer you stay away.
Everyone loves the things New Orleans is famous for: the food, the music, and the “laissez les bons temps rouler” attitude. But even more special are its residents and their unique traditions. Here are ten things you may not know about New Orleanians.
1. They invent saints.
When building the Chapel of Our Lady of Guadeloupe in New Orleans, the parish priests ordered a large statue of the Virgin Mary from Spain. Months later, they received two crates instead of one. The unexpected second crate bore the legend EXPEDITE (as in “expedite this shipment”). They opened it and found a statue of a Roman centurion, which they assumed was St. Expedite. He still stands near the entrance to the Chapel, and people pray to him for rapid solutions to problems.
2. They know how to deal with arduous teenage boys.
That spiked metal object near the top of the poles in this photo is called a Romeo Catcher. New Orleanians – especially those with daughters – put them on poles below their balconies. I don’t think I need to explain the rest….
3. They engage in competitive fence building.
The Cornstalk Hotel in the French Quarter sits behind an iconic “cornstalk” cast iron fence. The fence, erected in 1856 by an owner of the then-mansion, is beautifully ornate with ears of corn on their stalks and pumpkins at the base of iron columns, around which are entwined pumpkin vines and morning glories. Not to be outdone by those Europeans in the Quarter, a resident of the very American Garden District (Colonel Robert Henry Short from Kentucky) had an identical but much, much larger cornstalk fence built around his mansion at 1448 Fourth Street. Unfortunately for Colonel Short, the fence didn’t keep out the invading Yankees during the Civil War: they kicked him out and used his home as officers’ quarters during the occupation of New Orleans.
4. They are very creative with sacrificial offerings.
New Orleans voodoo queen Marie Laveau (1782-1881) is reportedly buried in Saint Louis Cemetery #1 in the Glapion family crypt. It’s the second most visited grave in the U.S., topped only by Elvis. Visit the crypt on any given day and you’ll see all manner of offerings lying around it. My personal favorite: buckets of Kentucky Fried Chicken (so much more humane than the traditional sacrificial killing of a chicken during voodoo ceremonies).
5. They let women run plantations.
Take a fairly short drive from New Orleans through the Bayou to the Laura Plantation in Vacherie, Louisiana and learn about the fascinating world of the French Creoles. Back in the day, many Creoles ensured that their smartest child, not necessarily the oldest son, would run the family business. The Laura Plantation is one example of the many farms along River Road in plantation country that were run by women. When Laura Locoul sold the farm in 1891, she stipulated that from that sale forward, it must be called “the Laura Plantation.” You go, girl!
6. They serve a fantastic 25 cent martini at lunch.
At beautiful Commander’s Palace Restaurant in the Garden District, modern New Orleans cooking meets haute Creole for delicious results. More importantly, they serve fantastic martinis at lunch for just 25 cents!
7. They have the BEST marching bands.
There’s nothing quite like watching New Orleans high school marching bands strut down the street during Mardi Gras parades. Incubators for New Orleans’ amazing musical tradition, these bands have more energy and pride than any I’ve seen. Forget about one drum major. They come at you with a line of drum majors!
8. They are serious about their Mardi Gras throws.
Doubloons, beads, cups, stuffed animals, and … coconuts?? New Orleanians are serious about the stuff that’s thrown to the crowds from the floats during Mardi Gras parades: serious about throwing them, and serious about catching them. Don’t even think about coming to the parades without a butterfly net or some other contraption designed to help you collect as many throws as possible. The most valuable, of course, are painted coconuts from the Zulu krewe, which are prized collectors’ items.
9. They give a sheet about their Mardi Gras costumes.
If you’ve never been to Mardi Gras, it’s worth a trip if for nothing else than to see the costumes. From incredibly ornate, to a simple yet effective “sheet” theme, New Orleanians don’t mess around when it comes to getting dressed up for Mardi Gras day!
10. They still need our help.
Even though it’s been 7 years since Hurricane Katrina, the rebuilding effort in New Orleans is still very much underway. The need is especially great in St. Bernard and Orleans Parishes, where thousands of families can’t afford to rebuild their homes. If you love New Orleans like I do, consider donating your time or money to the St. Bernard Project. It rebuilds homes for senior citizens, people with disabilities and families with children who can’t afford to have their homes rebuilt by contractors. For clients who can afford supplies, the St. Bernard Project provides supervised volunteer labor. For clients who can’t afford supplies, the St. Bernard Project buys the supplies and provides the labor. Together, we can help the people who really know what it means to miss New Orleans return to their home. | <urn:uuid:5110efea-250d-4968-af36-b932ac06ac4c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://rainbowinclouds.wordpress.com/tag/new-orleans/ | 2018-06-22T12:58:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864482.90/warc/CC-MAIN-20180622123642-20180622143642-00271.warc.gz | en | 0.957097 | 1,304 | [

It is with thankfulness that I announce the release to the public of the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR TASK FORCE
In the wake of the sensationalized stories of Walter Reed Medical Center President Bush signed an
Executive Order setting up a Presidential Commission, the Dole Commission. It is still in session. KWVA
Director Jeff Brodeur has attended some of their hearings.
In the same Executive Order the President established a Task Force to examine what was being done and
could be done for returning veterans of the Global War on Terror, under existing law and existing resources.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs James Nicholson was named to chair the TF, and it had a 45 day deadline.
On April 13 Secretary Nicholson hosted an all day briefing for veterans’ service organizations leaders. I
was privileged to attend. In those briefings many were able to comment on various VA programs: Medical Care
and all of its aspects (DoD, VA—the world’s largest medical organization—, and civilian), real estate and
housing (the VA is one of the nations largest mortgage companies), education (the VA –GI Bill—is a major
force in public college education), benefits (the VA is one of the largest benefits administration
activities in the nation), burials (the VA administers the world’s largest cemetery system), and
On Monday, April 23, Secretary Nicholson in a telephone conference spoke with many of us about the TF
Report. He briefed the President within two hours after briefing us. I deem it significant that Secretary
Nicholson was quick to give us the word before he gave it to his boss!
Secretary Nicholson noted that there were 25 recommendations of which he considered the following five to
be the most significant in helping wounded warriors:
- VA and Department of Defense will develop a system of co-management and case management for returning
service members to facilitate ease of transfer from DoD care to VA care.
- [I believe this will result in
better care, fewer falling through the cracks in care, and ultimately better hand-off from DoD to VA, and
better healing and rehab. ltd].
- VA will screen all GWOT veterans seen in VA health care facilities for mild to moderate Traumatic Brain
Injury. The enrollment process for VA health care will be improved by modifications made to completing the
VA 1010EZ form.
- Expanding VA access to DoD records to will help coordinate improved transfer of a service member’s
medical care through patient “hand-off.”
- [The VA is world leader. ltd].
- VA and DoD will develop a joint DoD/VA process for disability benefit determinations by establishing a
cooperative Medical and Physical Evaluation Board process within the military service branches and VA. DoD
will now have one responsibility: fit or unfit. If the determination is fit for retention the DoD inserts
back into military service. If the determination is unfit the VA will assume control and make disability
determinations. There will no longer be multiple and duplicative disability rating processes.
- [Note that the
electronic medical records will relieve the veterans burden of trying to find 20 to 40 years of records,
years after events, from all over the word in order to initiate/support a claim. ltd]
Over time these and other modernization measures will assure younger veterans that they will not have to
attempt to hurdle the same walls of barriers that many of us have encountered. At this phase we are glad to
extend a well-done to Secretary Nicholson and the Veterans Administration. We promise to continue working
with the VA to make it better and better.
