Well we had our first call from the school nurse last week. Logan had somehow gotten a plastic binder in the eye, it scratched his eyebrow and then poked the corner. The way the nurse described it, you'd think his eyeball had popped right out, I was expecting it to be WAY worse than it was. But I had made an appointment with the eye doctor before seeing it. He did cut the corner pretty good, but managed to miss scratching the eye, which was good, but the doctor still made me feel dumb for being there, oh well! I'm sure its the first of many calls from the school.
Well, I can report that Miss Avery seems to KNOW how to crawl, she just chooses not too! ha ha! She'll crawl a couple of 'steps', and then drops right back to her belly to commence scooting. Friday night we took a picnic to the park, and she was having trouble scooting on the blanket so of course, she had to crawl, but once we got home and back on the slippery hardwood floors, back to her belly. Little stinker! And she's managed to start pulling herself up to a standing position. But still not teeth :(
We had a good labor day weekend, didn't do too much which was kind of nice for a change. We went on the picnic Friday night, and it was a bit chilly. Then Saturday night we had a cookout/bonfire with the neighbors, it was like a perfect fall evening complete with s'mores. Then Sunday Logan went off to spend the night at Auntie Jamie's and Richard and went to a wedding reception while Avery stayed with Grannie. On Monday, since Logan wasn't home, we napped when Avery napped :) It was great, although we did miss Logan.
Hope everyone is having a good week so far! | <urn:uuid:ef84e99c-c0be-49e7-82d9-2fffbc7645f4> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://thegustys.blogspot.com/2010/09/injuries.html | 2017-06-25T08:58:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320476.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625083108-20170625103108-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.990468 | 378 | [

Have I been living the wrong Life?
We arrived in Vienna late this afternoon and we are staying right across the street from the summer palace gates. Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Marie Theresa used this hotel for their guests. When I go to bed tonight, I will dream of Royalty and hope there are no ghosts left behind in our room. Prayers will be said, in hopes that the hotel has not made a mistake in the low fees that they have charged us for the wonderful accommodations.
The palace across the road, is only their ‘summer palace’ with the official palace downtown. We are going to explore both these places including the royal treasury and more of this beautiful hotel which we can’t believe is so affordable.
I will post photos when I get home and sort out this wonderful adventure that we have been having. We leave Saturday.
From my iPad which is not the best way to post especially in a hotel lobby! | <urn:uuid:b542739d-2590-4592-bab5-14379c014dba> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://itsinthepicture365.com/2013/09/22/summer-palace/ | 2017-06-25T08:49:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320476.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625083108-20170625103108-00477.warc.gz | en | 0.962755 | 195 | [

The Next Great Teen Movie Premieres at Sundance: ‘The Spectacular Now’
The truly remarkable 'Now,' plus 'Kill Your Darlings' and 'Two Mothers'
It’s easy to be our own worst enemy at a festival: what we see and, more important, what we miss is mostly up to us. Obviously, there are obstacles beyond our control — tight lists, long lines, slippery publicists — but the choice alone is cause for anxiety, which is why catching a great movie is a huge relief. Just one good decision can mean the difference between getting on a plane and feeling like an failure versus leaving genuinely satisfied, and we have every reason to think The Spectacular Now was that good decision.
On the surface, Now isn’t groundbreaking or brave or provocative: Sutter Keely is a harder-drinking Lloyd Dobler — popular, but not obnoxiously so. He’s the kind of guy who can give everybody what they need: girls, beers, confidence, whatever. He seems to have all the answers, except to his own problems, which start with the whiskey he’s constantly drinking.
Director James Ponsoldt covered similar territory in last year’s Smashed, which was a slightly underwhelming but still realistic and deeply felt portrait of a young alcoholic (Scott Pilgrim’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who has a minor but well-defined role as Sutter’s wasp-y older sister). This time, Ponsoldt manages to tuck the abuse neatly into Sutter’s personality, which is so undeniably charming that you understand not only how easy it would be to let him drive, but how much you would want to be along for the ride when he does. That is neither a spoiler nor a plot point — this isn’t a morality tale of any kind. And it would surely be a less remarkable film if not for the almost absurdly natural performances of two relative newcomers, Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley, whom we’ll get to in a second.
The movie opens with Sutter staring at his computer and trying to respond to a standard college-essay question about misfortune and what he’s learned from it. His recent breakup seems to provide the best answer: “I’m not going to say we were the life of the party, but we were.” But when he wakes up after having passed out on the lawn of his classmate, the anonymous, manga-loving Aimee (Woodley), they strike up an unlikely friendship, and Sutter is determined to convince Aimee that she needs to see herself the way he sees her, and his attempts to make her feel special eventually leads to a relationship. If you’ve seen a teen movie or two, you expect the inevitable. Will the popular girls gang up on Aimee for dating one of their own, for instance? But there are no easy stereotypes here, and Sutter’s ex Cassidy has as much depth as the two leads. When he tries to get back together with her, she wants to, but she’s too disturbed by his constant good-times vibes. “I want more than a moment. I want a future,” she says, which is more than a drunk, even a good-natured one, can offer her. Instead it’s the wallflower Aimee who takes to the whiskey.
Sutter is the kind of character who has seen a few teen movies himself, and so he knows how this goes: For a guy like him, high school is as good as it gets, or so he thinks, and looking at the miserable adults around him, he’s not able to bring himself to consider anything but the present. Teller, cute but not traditionally handsome, sort of in the vein of Wil Wheaton, makes Sutter uniquely irresistible, and the chemistry he has with costar Woodley, who brings a perfect repertoire of nervous giggles and awkward mannerisms to her in-bloom Aimee, is so authentic that if somebody could promise not to ruin it, we would beg for The Spectacular Now to be turned into a television series so that we could watch them some more. And this is to say nothing of the solid supporting performances — Bob Odenkirk as Sutter’s boss, Kyle Chandler as the anti-Coach Taylor, and Jennifer Jason Leigh as Sutter’s overworked mom (does Leigh have another mood besides burnt-out?) The Spectacular Now is a smaller film than Say Anything, Dazed and Confused, Breakfast Club, etc., but it belongs in the canon.
And it definitely made up for some poor choices. Kill Your Darlings, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as Allen Ginsberg circa 1943, has been getting a lot of hype, but the guy next to me fell asleep and I could hardly blame him. On a positive note, Dane Dehaan, who popped up on everyone’s radar in 2011’s Chronicle for being both talented and possessing an uncanny resemblance to young Leonardo DiCaprio, is basically at young-Leo best here as Lucien Carr: boyish, beautiful, and easily able to manipulate everyone around him. The movie centers around the murder of William S. Burroughs’s friend and Carr’s ardent admirer (if not stalker) David Kammerer, but this debut definitely felt like the work of someone who was too in awe of the Beat generation to effectively depict it. On the flipside, director John Krokidas might have intended for lines like “I love first times, I want my whole life to be comprised of them” to sound like the pretentious pronouncements of the young, which the soundtrack would certainly suggest (Nico Muhly composed the score). As Burroughs (Ben Foster), Carr, Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac (Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Huston) pull a prank at the Columbia University library that involves replacing the glass-case classics with banned books by Henry Miller and Lady Chatterly’s Lover, TV on the Radio blasts in the background, and the mixing in of the modern day gives the stunt a fratty quality. (The main point of curiosity here is Radcliffe’s audacity, and lookie loos will definitely want to see how “fully” he embraces his gay character.) If the goal was to expose the writers as merely intelligent young men with patricidal ambitions and an arrogance of purpose, then mission accomplished.
Finally, Two Mothers. Everyone at the premiere wanted to know the same thing: how would a movie about two best friends who take each other’s sons as lovers play out? Adapted by French director Anne Fontaine from a story that Doris Lessing wrote when she was 85, Two Mothers stars Naomi Watts as Lil and Robin Wright as Roz, neighbors who as girls spent their life at the beach in their Australian seaside town. Fast-forward and they remain neighbors, each with gorgeous seaside property. Their sons have gone from young surfers to full-grown teenagers in the blink of a big wave, and Roz and Lil call them “gods.” The film raises more questions than it adequately answers in terms of why they begin the affairs, the first of which being: Are Roz and Lil simply sentimental for their own youth? Are they gay as everyone including Roz’s husband suspects, and is this their way of being with one another? Or is it far more incestuous: Do all mothers love theirs sons a little too much, and this the best way to consummate?
The ideas are provoking, particularly the nature of female friendship and how such closeness can appear threatening to other people. But when Roz allows Ian to kiss her, a line is crossed, and Tom goes storming over to Lil’s house to tell her about it. Out of spite, they have some hot, complicated sex of their own, and now everyone’s crossed the line and it appears nobody can get outraged, which is the strangest part of Two Mothers. Roz and Lil don’t accuse each other of perversion or abuse, and Tom and Ian don’t seem to be grossed out by the idea that each is slipping the other’s mom the high hard one. It’s a conspiracy of silence, so when Lil goes to Roz and asks simply, “How are you feeling?” and Roz says, “good” and Lil responds “me too,” there was laughter from the audience. This conversation in the absence of any other, perhaps one that acknowledged the weirdness of the situation, seemed almost absurd. The director said later that she was surprised how many times people laughed throughout the movie, and maybe there was an element of discomfort or awkwardness.
But it’s not a prudishness that keeps us from loving this film. It lacks characterizations, particularly in terms of the sons, who are mainly there to be torsos lightly tucked under sheets — fit and fetishizable. We have no idea where their desire came from, or what they do when they’re not surfing or eating dinner with their moms, or how they remain friends. Anyway, two years pass in what seems like bliss, and again, what happens in those years? Are Roz and Lil never bothered by the fact that what used to be a family dinner is now a double date? Does the emotional immaturity of the boys, which is never even alluded to but must be a factor, ever get on their nerves? Maybe they don’t need to have substantive intellectual connections because the boys can just return to their mothers afterwards. This is Lil and Roz’s sandy fantasy life, surrounded by their only sons, and satisfied as women, even if their existence seems impossibly hermetic. Of course, when one relationship suffers, so do they all, and the contrast between the couples becomes ultimately destructive.
After the premiere, the director, Watts, and nervous-seeming newcomers Xavier Samuel and James Frecheville took the stage. (Watts was wearing what looked like leather leggings, which seemed appropriate for the occasion.) The actors were mainly too shy to say anything, and Fontaine had some translation problems, but she described the film as disturbing and ironic, and attributed the laughter to those sensations. Ultimately, we heard a lot of chatter on the way out of the theater, and where many people were just too turned around to know what to say, the reaction sounded largely positive. It’s really a better conversation-starter than it is a movie, but Fontaine’s departure from convention is worthy of applause. | <urn:uuid:a289d06c-50a8-454b-a095-330a687e2229> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.spin.com/2013/01/spectacular-now-next-great-teen-movie-premieres-sundance/ | 2017-06-26T03:40:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320669.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626032235-20170626052235-00557.warc.gz | en | 0.9697 | 2,233 | [

Jeannette church sending volunteers to national gathering in Pittsburgh
Several volunteers from the Christian and Missionary Alliance Church on Harrison Avenue will attend Franklin Graham's Festival of Hope in Pittsburgh next weekend to assist those who want a relationship with Jesus Christ.
The festival is scheduled for Aug. 15-17 at Consol Energy Center, according to the website billygraham.org. The event has one purpose, according to the site — to proclaim God's love to those who need Jesus.
“It's a world-class event to bring spiritual hope to our lives and to our communities,” said the Rev. David Gilmore, pastor of Christian and Missionary Alliance Church.
Each volunteer at the church was required to complete training called the Christian Life and Witness Course over a span of three sessions for three consecutive weeks in order to provide their testimony and offer prayer to those who come forward during the Festival of Hope.
To qualify to attend, each candidate was required to obtain a reference from the pastor of their church and attend all three sessions. Some are geared more toward the counsel of children and teens, while men will counsel men and women will counsel women.
Seven volunteers attended the classes and will be available during the festival. Most of the content is focused on how to share their faith with others. As the event is an interdenominational gathering, the counsel will not focus on one specific religion, but Christianity and hope.
For those who want support in their faith, volunteers will provide their names to local churches for follow up.
Not only is the church offering volunteers, Gilmore is offering a way to get there.
“We're aware that transportation can be a challenge,” Gilmore said. “We'll bus as many people as want to go. Often just getting to the Consol Energy Center is difficult and we don't want transportation to stand in anyone's way.”
Christian and Missionary Alliance Church is sponsoring a bus for all three days and the cost is free. Donations will be accepted by those who want to give.
The church, as well as the website, 3rivershope.org, urges anyone who wants to attend to bring a friend. Billy Graham Associates and festival organizers encourage people to reach out and invite friends, neighbors and family members who could benefit from spiritual renewal and hope.
“They don't want the place to be filled with church people,” Gilmore said. In other words, it's an open invitation for anyone to attend, regardless of denomination.
The church has made reservations for buses and will fill as many as the volunteers can. Gilmore said their goal is three, or one bus each night, but the hope is that there will be more.
The festival itself has a range of activities, including a youth night and a family night. There will be music from well-known Christian artists such as The Charlie Daniels Band and Michael W. Smith, as well as Kari Jobe, Tenth Ave North, The City Harmonic and Aaron Shust.
The only request that the church has is that anyone who is interested should call so the volunteers can estimate the number of buses they will need.
The festival is free to anyone who wants to attend. Specifics about the trip will be provided during the phone call.
To reserve a spot on the bus, call Joyce at 724-523-8946, leave a message at 724-527-2240, or send email to Gilmore at [email protected].

I work as a Medium to connect with those crossed. I offer sessions on all family members, beloved pets included.
My fee has never been raised…….the quality of a session does not hinge on its price, I don’t believe in asking excessive amounts for the gifts with which I have been blessed.

Intuitive Reading Testimonials
- I’d like everyone to know of the fabulous and comforting reading I just got about my father from Shirl Knobloch!!! This woman can truly see into energies that have departed, and the reading was “spot on”! God bless Shirl, she has given me much needed peace!~~~Jane Baldwin~~~
wasn’t sure what to expect at first, only sending a name and a picture.
However, Shirl was able to accurately describe the person with great
specificity and detail, I was blown away. Shirl is clearly gifted and I
would highly recommend her.
- Thanks so much for your time and reading. . You got Every little personal aspect about him right. .. from the financial problems and worrying. . To a previous sickness that he had leading up to what took him out. .. the one thing that really upset me is that he isn’t going to be present for a while… but i know his spirit will be back. …i wish you could talk to him daily and tell me what he’s saying ~~~~~Amy Carafello Peraino
- Jennifer Jeune, River Vale, NJ
Thank you Shirl, for the reading you did recently about my mother who passed very suddenly a month ago. You touched on some things that were very much about my mother, and it was comforting to read them. I wish I had your gift and could communicate with her as I miss her very much and didn’t get to say goodbye. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a touching and real reading.
- Hi Shirl, I just
wanted to thank you for doing the Reiki session on my 5 y/o lab,
Beemer. After his diagnosis of congestive heart failure and dilated
cardiomyopathy three weeks ago, I was so upset when the vets told me he
had less than a ...year to live. The first thing you told me was that
no mortal can predict how long a life will last. That statement in
itself picked my spirits up. The second thing that you did was make him
a beautiful gemstone healing charm for his collar, which he proudly
wears in the attached photo. (As you can see, he has grayed
considerably in the last few months, making him appear to be much older
than his 5 years.)
I had never heard of Reiki until becoming friends with Doreen a couple of years ago, but she had such success with it on her dog, Riley, that when this came up with Beemer, I knew I wanted to try it. Since I live on the west coast, we decided to do the Reiki session at 5am our time, when we knew that Beemer would be resting peacefully. He was sleeping on his bed, right next to mine, but of course I was awake with anticipation of his session. During the time it was scheduled, he slept calmly without the rapid respirations that he has had so often since the onset of his illness. I lay quietly near him, with my arm over the side of the bed touching him. At one point, I felt a definite surge of energy through my arm and into my body, and thought at the time "Shirl must be sending me a little help too". When Beemer woke from his sleep, he was noticeably happy and energetic, bouncing around the house like he used to. Since the session, his respirations have been lower at night than they have since his diagnosis, and he once again feels like chasing sticks and playing with his brothers. I am so thankful for your gift being able to help him and so many others like him that our vets often just "write off", having done all that they can. Thank you again!! We'll be in touch again soon.

I had my beloved Tigger reading of him crossing. I could not catch my breath while I was reading it. Many things were SAID THAT NO ONE would know. And it came up during the reading. It was excellent and I plan on getting a reading again in the future. Awesome!
- Once again Shirl, thanks. I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do :) Many, if not all, the information is spot on. I so appreciate all that you do...Thank you - Susan, NJ
- Shirl, Once again, many thanks. As always ,your readings are right on target. You have confirmed things I guess I knew but needed to hear. I am very appreciative, now I can begin putting this puzzle back together.......Brightest Blessings - Debi, New Jersey
you so much for the information, I found it on target and will use the
suggestions to benefit myself, family and loved ones. Blessings as
always. - Sharon, Illinois
did an intuitive reading for me which was very accurate and heartfelt.
the reading brought to light some things that may have gone unnoticed
by me, but were spot on. thanks shirl! i look forward to working with
you again in the future!!! - Jennifer, NJ
has recently done both an intuitive session with me and a
Reiki/Intuitive session with my dog Taz. I have found most of her
insights to be "spot on". Her prices are reasonable and the turnaround
is quick. I would highly recommend her. - Robin and Taz in
You are really right on with a lot of things! The trust thing
especially!!! I am definitely taking the advice in the relationship
category as well - I think it is warranted...And regarding balance - I
do not have any of it right now but am REALLY working hard to achieve
it....You were SPOT ON with the emotional exhaustion and as of late, I
have focused my attention inward and have the beginnings of new found
strength...... See MoreThank you so much - this is wonderful...I passed
it along to my friend - she might do it too. J.S.~~~~~
Shirl,Thank you so much for your intuitive impressions. Being fairly
new to this whole process or Reiki, intuitives, energy, etc that Riley
has brought into my life, I must say you certainly just bumped up my
belief in it by leaps and bounds. EVERYTHING you touched on has so much
truth and validity that it was almost kind of scarey to me (but in a
fun good way). I kept going from "OMG OMG OMG" to "holy crap, holy
crap".THANKS Doreen in Ohio
- Shirl, this is unreal. I understand a lot of what she has told you. What anamazing confirmation.Thank you for the wonderful reading. I think you helped me so much. -Leah, Ohio
intuitive reading for me and was right about so many things. I was very
impressed since I rarely get a good reading face to face. She is the
real deal!!! Thank you Shirl for your guidance and advice for the many
things I am going through. Blessings
Pet Communication Testimonials
- Zara Benton wrote.....Shirl, thank you so very much for communicating with Zak and Harley at Rainbow Bridge for me. It has answered many of my questions and made me feel better about the way things happened when they left me. Knowing that they understand why I had to let them go and why it hurt so much and that they felt my pain makes it a ...little easier to let them go. They will be there waiting for me and I will hold them again one day. To imagine Zak 'dancing' with happiness and Harley playing makes me smile with joy. You were able to listen to their thoughts and feelings and pass that on to me so I know they are free and all the pain and fear is gone. They have my love and I have theirs for all time. You are a very gifted lady and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful words. Until we meet again...............my heart belongs to you my angels
past Saturday I unfortunately had to get my dog of 16 years euthanized.
I had such a heavy heart making that decision and felt very guilty. I
had Shirl Knobloch give me an animal reading of my beloved departed
Dakota. I was very amazed about my the reading. She had never known my
dog nor me personally. She gave me insight to matters that only I
shared with my dog, and personal matters that gave way to a depressed
heart that my dog was always by my side during those hard times! I can
personally say that Shirl is the real deal when it comes to a reading
about a lost loved fur baby, and yourself! Thank you Shirl for my
reading! ~~ Melissa Springston ~~
ThankYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR INTUITIVE READING!! YOU PICKED UP ON EVERYTHING GOING ON AND GAVE ME PEACE OF MIND. I CANT THANKYOU ENOUGH!! GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH YOU. I CANT THANK GOD AND YOU ENOUGH! YOU HAVE LIFTED MY SPIRIT AND LITERALLY MADE IT SOAR AGAIN!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 Jackie Loarca

Shirl is the best animal communicator! you should give her a try you will be amazed!
- Paola Ascoli~~~~~
I can’t begin to thank you enough for the wonderful blessing of hearing what our cats had to say! I look forward to more messages from my furry babies in the future. Your gift is truly incredible and I have been telling everyone about you and how amazing these messages are!
- Hi Shirl,
Thank you so much. You are amazing! I think I understand almost everything that Boscoe told you. Boscoe was diagnosed with thyroid cancer 2 years ago, and hasn't been feeling as well. I've been worried about him since he can't tell me how he feels, and his personality has changed somewhat since the illness. My main fear was that I'm not being a good dog mom to him, and that I'm missing something that he needs. It's a relief to know that he is not ready to make the transition yet, because I know I'm definitely not ready for him to leave me.
You are absolutely right that he has some training, and is very smart, and he does love being outside. Sometimes it's hard to get him to come back in. I think the person from his youth is his former foster who had him as a puppy, and then again after he was adopted out and returned. He loved her very much. I'm a little confused on the water since he never goes swimming at the dog parks, and doesn't particularly love his baths. The only thing I can think of is that he maybe misses my parent's old house because they had a pool. They moved from there about 3 years ago, but he always loved going to that house and running in their yard.
I'm sure the jealousy stems from one of my dogs, who joined the family about a year ago. I wasn't planning on getting another dog, but fell in love with him at the shelter, fostered him for awhile, and then made him a permanent resident. There have been a few incidents between them over food, but they have accepted each other. I'm sure Boscoe is just feeling left out because I have to share my time with yet another dog. I know that he doesn't like it when I leave, and my schedule has changed recently causing longer hours at work, which means less time with the dogs.
Everything makes so much sense, and I truly appreciate you getting in touch with my boy. I'm so happy that he is going to be with me longer, and now I feel like I can give him the things he wants and needs during our time together. I'm very grateful that you were able to do this for me. I'll be in touch again with my other dogs.
Have a great rest of the day!
- Thank you so very much for today, I am so very grateful for the sessions. The reiki really helped me to collect my thoughts and to release some of the hurt and make peace. The intuitive session helped me so much. I am still healing but it helped to ease some of my concerns and I really needed that chance to "talk to him" and "visit" once more. Some of the things you said really helped a lot and eased my pain, and you will be pleased to know that I gave the go ahead for the rescue to start looking for rescue bully to carry on the therapy visits. - From Debbie in New Jersey
- Thank you so much, Shirl for the reading of my beloved Riley. Everything that you told me made complete sense. After weeks of crying, it was as if a switch was flipped in my head by your reading, and for the first time, I felt some peace. I felt that it was a powerful reading. - From Eileen in PA
Pet Reiki Testimonials
- Hi Shirl, Thank you for doing the reading and Reiki Session on Haley. She really is a beautiful girl and I love her dearly. Everything you said sounded exactly right to me. She has been acting normal but she's such a sensitive soul that I knew what happened had to be bothering her. I have been spending alone time with her and giving her lots of love. And you are also right in that I have to be careful to be fair with the other dogs as well. If you feel she needs more than one Reiki session please let me know. Thanks again, Gail
He seems to be in better spirits and is more awake and interested in our household goings-on today. Yay!
Thanks so much. I'll schedule a communication session for him after his chemo session.

- I just received my Tarot reading from Shirl and was amazed by how accurate it was. Everything that came up in the reading corresponds to situations that are going on in my life right now. I really value these types of readings especially when you are in a situation and not sure which way to turn. My heart has been pulling me one way, and my head the other. Shirl’s Tarot Reading cleared things up for me, and I now understand what my decision needs to be. While I was reading my Tarot Reading, a tiny white feather appeared out of nowhere and landed on my keyboard!! The feather was a blessing from my angels, letting me know everything is going to be ok. Thanks Shirl,Susan in NJ
A letter of thanks from a Veterinarian in Ohio for my help in locating a lost pet:
There are no words of thanks nor an adequate amount of money to compensate you for your time, your expertise, and your patience in helping us find Peyton the Pug. I never knew how many truly wonderful people there were in this world until this weekend ... While so many disappointed me, there were many others who went so far above and beyond to help me get Peyton back. I would very much like to meet you some day, just for a moment, to simply thank you in person for what you did for us. I will never be the same after this ordeal but am hopeful that it has taught me lessons that I would not otherwise have appreciated!
I came to Shirl not knowing what to expect but in need of some stress relief and relaxation. I had been going through a lot of tough things lately... Shirl was just wonderful!! The office was beautifully decorated and it gave me a sense of peace when I walked in. Shirl greeted me in a warm friendly manner and I felt at ease. .. The experience was unbelievable!! Reiki was definitely the answer.... I had heard that it it was some kind of new age healing technique that was helpful with stress and tension, so I thought I would try it. Well, I cannot thank her enough! I felt so wonderful after. The stress I was feeling was gone and my head seemed to be more in a peaceful place.. I cannot explain it but I felt more balanced!! The Reiki or Reiki/ crystal session is definitely something to consider!!! Thank you Shirl!!!
I just wanted to write to you and say thank you very much for todays session. It was really amazing, I had no clue the stones and crystals had so much power. I remember at one point you placed a stone or a crystal in my left palm and my hand began to visibly pulse! I definitely felt sensations in certain parts of my body too which was really fascinating. Even after I left I felt good and I ended up having a really great day! Well, thanks again Shirl see you soon!!
I really enjoyed today's session. I left feeling so much lighter and that feeling has carried throughout the rest of the afternoon. I wasn't sure what to expect going into the session, so I was suprised when I had such a strong feeling in two areas, and when you advised what each chakra stood for it made so much sense-they were completely tied into the areas that I have been experiencing some turbulence in my life.
It really felt good to let go of things that I had been carrying with me for a long time, and I am sure that as with the reiki session, that I will reflect more on it from days to come. I was suprised to learn about the gemstones that I have been purchasing too. Its interesting to see where the subconcious leads you!
Thanks so much-and I will definitely be in touch again!
“I am humbled by Shirl’s ability to do an Intuitive Reading only knowing a person’s first name. It is a blessing to find someone with such a beautiful God-given gift who uses her gift to heal and help others.
I found the Briar Rose web site when browsing the Internet and, after reading the other testimonials, I knew that I needed Shirl. I have so much going on in my life, so many decisions to make, as well as needing to heal my body physically and spiritually.
Shirl’s reading was incredibly accurate. It wasn’t a minute too soon either. I was ready to do something rash, which she sensed and cautioned me against. Her reading has made me slow down, take more time to consider various aspects of my life before making decisions personally and professionally. She has also reminded me to look after my own needs, take time to smell the roses, and follow my own spiritual path.
I look forward to more readings from Shirl and hope to take it further by attending some of her events.
Thank you, Shirl. You have given me a lot to think about. You stopped me from making rash decisions/mistakes. You have reminded me to continue my own spiritual journey. You’ve provided me with reassurance in the career path I’ve chosen. I never considered myself much of a nature person, but I look forward to bringing it into my home and, moreso, into my life. I look forward to future guidance from you.”

As promised, here is my testimonial.
You will recall late last Spring that Dakota was diagnosed with acute kidney failure. The Vet administered a form of dialysis by intravenous on 2 or 3 occasions, each time only slightly reducing his BUN kidney values. He was also on several medications. He lost over 20 pounds, about 20% of his body weight, had multiple bouts of diarrhea and vomiting, no appetite and no energy. The Vet finally suggested we not put Dakota through any more treatments and indicated he might have a month or so to live.
We came to learn of the services you provide and after speaking with you, you offered to practice reiki treatments on him and all you ever promised was to attempt to get Dakota in a better frame of mind physically and mentally to better deal with the stress of his illness and to whatever degree he had the ability to fight off his illness, this frame of mind would allow him a better chance of dealing with it either as a manageable chronic illness or possibly even reverse the disease.
Miraculously, after treating him for about a month he began to regain his appetite, have more energy and in general have a better quality of life. By the end of the Summer, after visiting with the Vet we started to see his kidney values reduce, although not back to normal levels, low enough for Dakota to manage his illness. The Vet indicated to us that she was amazed and has never had a dog with Dakota's condition make this kind of turn around. We indicated to her the services you were performing on Dakota and she was quite impressed and simply told us to continue doing whatever we were doing.
It is now almost 10 months since Dakota became ill and he is doing fine. We will continue to utilize your services to keep Dakota's frame of mind and stress level at a minimum to better allow him to continue fighting his own illness, and this, along with some medication we are still giving him, has reduced his condition to some form of a manageable chronic illness.
We can't thank you enough for all you have done.
Respectfully and With Sincere Appreciation,
Nat, Barbara, and Dakota
I was absolutely amazed at the connection Shirl was able to make with my dog Lucy. Lucy is a 13-year-old Papillon, and a former puppy mill breeder dog. She is not very well socialized and extremely skittish. But by the second visit Lucy came out from under the chair and rested comfortably out in the open. Shirl was able to let me know certain things that Lucy communicated that were so specific it was surreal. I truly appreciate this gift that Shirl has and the gift she gave me with the insite to Lucy. I recommend everyone should let his or her pets meet Shirl.

"that was incredible. i really enjoyed it.
i can see how this will work with practice.
i think my abbey dog sent me a message this morning
while we were still in bed.
i fogot the message but remember the circles after it.
then shortly after that
i saw my name spelled out.
i think dogs are really smarter than we give them credit for.
it will be an incredible journey.
but you are right
believe in yourself.
trust your instincts.
and believe ."
thanks so much god bless you.
looking forward to seeing you soon.
"I'm hoping this testimonial serves as encouragement to others seeking answers, to try Briar Rose's new "Pendulum Readings". This is a departure from conventional tarot card readings. Employing an ancient technique of using the pendulum in giving answers to questions clients may have, these sessions are both informative and interactive. The half hour allotted each session, is more than adequate to have many questions answered. These readings allow more flexibility in what is being asked and more concise definitive answers are given. I found Shirl's use and knowledge of the pendulum both accurate and fascinating. Readings are done in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere and handled very graciously by Shirl. For those interested in having your questions answered very directly and like the idea of taking a more active role in the reading itself, this is your ticket. You won't be disappointed."
I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for the four intuitive readings which you have kindly provided on behalf of Chloe, Willikins, Spooky and Ruby.
Your genuinely caring nature was evident right from the start, and I was able to trust you in communicating with my beloved furbabies. Chloe, Willikins, Spooky and Ruby are my absolute world, and you were able to communicate with them showing respect, empathy, care and love. These values are of utmost importance to me.
I now have comfort in knowing that Chloe, who has passed, is at peace and feels free, happy and loved. For almost seven years I have felt much distress over her passing, however I now have peace in knowing how she feels. She spoke from her heart to you. The description you gave of Chloe, in particular her passing, was very emotional for me because it was as though you had known her for all of her time here. I smiled from the inside and outside when you mentioned that she was "boasting" to you, for that is exactly my girl!
For Willikins, the manner in which you described our relationship is absolutely true. The anxiety you mention, I have always wondered of the cause, so when you stated the reason behind it, it was as though you had supplied the missing piece to the puzzle. He had a home prior to me adopting him, and you also suggested changes or movement around our home - we have recently moved into this house. Willikins is an anxious, but energetic, empathic and loving boy, and he certainly does his best to make me laugh as much as possible ... some of the things he has done are akin to a comedian's show!
I had a specific request for Spooky. You explained that it is up to the animal if they wish to share requested information. Spooky was able to trust in you and share this information, for this I am extremely grateful. Spooky is a rescue and knowing more about her past can only help me to understand her better, and provide her even moreso with the home, security and love she has always deserved, but unfairly cheated of in the past. To further help Spooky heal, I have requested distant reiki sessions with you (as I live in Australia) and I am looking forward to being in touch with you regarding this.
And for Ruby, she is just as you describe, energetic, loving and a peacemaker. You mentioned she may have come from a harsh or judgemental situation. The manner in which she came to me was from perhaps an unusual circumstance. It is of my understanding her old owner was sent to a remand centre, therefore his parents were placed in the position of finding homes for his dog's puppies - one of which was Ruby. Ruby is exactly the type of dog I could see in therapy, she is able to instill joy and happiness in everyone she meets, particuarly elderly people, they are all drawn to Ruby and her cheerful ways.
Because of your gift, not only am I able to deepen my bonds with my furbabies, I am also able to dispel their insecurities and provide specific reassurance where they require it most. I have a greater understanding of their emotions and needs and for this I am truly grateful. Your communication sessions were emotional, powerful, comforting, enjoyable, insightful and informative.
Thank you Shirl for making a wonderful difference to our lives.
Bright blessings and fond regards,
Maree Louise Quay
I just wanted to thank you for the meditation this morning. I
felt so great afterwards. I loved the way you led us through the pathway
and the beach-have been to meditations
before,but this one was the best.
I will be back.
Thank you for last night's meditation.When I step into your office,I feel like I am in a sanctuary.When I leave, I feel calmer ,focused,destressed and balanced. I have been to many meditations,but you by far are the best. I highly recommend a session with Shirl!!!
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful meditation class last night. It was the best one yet! Each time I come I go home feeling so focused and vibrant! I always look forward to seeing you and coming to your class!
Sorry for not writing sooner. After Tuesday, things got extremely busy but i did want to post what a wonderful time i had on Tuesday. You where awesome on Tuesday during the full moon meditation. I haven't experienced anything like that, you have lifted a big weight off my shoulders, for that I thank you. I cant wait to come to your place again and I will.
Intuitive Reading/Distant Reiki Healing Testimonial
Shirl provided an accurate intuitive reading in regard to my current state of affairs….stuck, angry, a bit depressed. I am impressed that this came to her via just my name. As for the distant Reiki session, I awoke this morning with a clear head absent of sinus issues (pretty clogged when it rains like today) and certainly much more relaxed. A very positive experience for me. Thanks Shirl.
Originally I had gotten it just for Ms. Panini. She has been a little sick along with loss of appetite. I had changed my mind and then had decided to get it for all three of us because I had a session done once before and felt it had helped my health, however, the session with Briar Rose Readings was different from the previous one I had with a different person. The next morning, after the Reiki Sessions, I was happy to see an email regarding all three of us about things that have been happening in our lives which might bring some insight as to why things were going the way they were for us. I did not receive such an email when I had done this service before with another healer.
I have to tell you, I was very impressed. The healing itself was amazing. Ms. Panini started eating her food the next morning and Cody and I had such a restful nights sleep. Not to mention, the after thoughts of the sessions that were sent the next morning to my email were dead on, almost as though they had been there our whole lives. It is a very strange feeling to have somebody tell you about what path you have walked down in life and never met nor talked to about it before.
I would definitely recommend this service, especially if you have a pet that is ill.
Thank you again,
Tara Gooley Seymour, CT
Scooter is a wonderful dog with some behavioral and emotional scars from his abusive prior home. He is nervous and shy of strangers and does not tolerate being handled. Although he has made great progress in trusting, housetraining, following commands, recently he became quite subdued and had some physical ailments. His vet was unable to diagnose a physical problem. I brought Scooter to Shirl at Briar Rose reiki, and from the moment Scooter and Shirl met; you could see the bond forming. Scooter was responsive and eager to be near Shirl for over 30 minutes. Shirl was respectful of Scooter and reassured him that she would not touch him. Shirl gave me some insight as to what she felt Scooter was experiencing, and her observations made perfect sense. Scooter and I left and as soon as we arrived home, started working on the areas Shirl felt we needed to address. By md morning the next day, Scooter was alert and eager to walk the neighborhood. It was a lovely surprise to watch him approach our neighbor and enjoys loving pats and an ear scratching. Scooters mood and indeed his physical condition is getting better daily. Thanks to Shirls’ healing gift, Scooter has a second chance at a normal happy home, and I’ve got my best friend back. Both myself and Scooter will be frequent visitors to Briar Rose Reiki for mind /body/ spirit “tune-ups”
The Reiki sessions have made a noticeable difference in my battle with depression and weight gain. Shirl’s guided imagery has been the source of much healing. I cannot thank her enough for the help she has and is giving me.
My hour with Shirl left me feeling as refreshed and energized as if I had spent a full eight hours sleeping......the office is very comfortable, the music is very soothing, and Shirl answered all my questions in a very patient and informative manner. I would recommend Briar Rose Reiki to anyone in need of a peaceful respite from today's hectic pace.
Shirl asked that I tell you a little about my experience with her Reiki treatments on my dog, Gretchen. Gretchen is nearly 15 years old and has a degenerative condition affecting her hind legs. Reiki was my last ditch effort to find something that would bring Gretchen some relief. I took her to Shirl in September hoping that she could give Gretchen some comfort in what seemed were going to be her last weeks. The results were better than I could ever have imagined. Not only did Shirl help Gretchen accept her situation but there was also a physical improvement! Her mobility increased tremendously.
The Reiki treatment is totally benign. Shirl does not even have to touch the patient. I can see nothing in the treatment that could possibly cause harm, and the potential benefits are huge. It is a testament to Shirl’s caring spirit that she should want to volunteer to treat your animals.
I cannot put into words how much Shirl has given to both me and Gretchen. I am sure the Reiki treatments are the reason that Gretchen is still with me today. My only regret is that I did not find Shirl sooner. I firmly believe that all the dogs, and probably all the animals at your shelter can be helped by the Reiki treatments. You would be foolish not to accept Shirl’s generous offer to volunteer.
I hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.
I am fortunate enough to call Shirl who is "Briar Rose Reiki" a dear friend of mine. She is a very gifted healer. Her specialty is the treatment of animals and her gentle, humane approach has produced astonishing results.
Anyone who loves their pets and is looking for an alternative to conventional treatment should try Reiki. Animals have proven to be wonderful patients and their human counterparts receive healing benefits as well.
I encourage anyone interested in a completely uplifting experience to try Reiki. Briar Rose Reiki is one of the best places to begin.
I suffer from carpel tunnel syndrome. When movement became increasingly difficult, I scheduled a Reiki session with Shirl. From the time the session ended, I felt relief and that relief has continued. Very relaxing and positive experience I would not hesitate to recommend.
I meant to write last week that I feel sure that you helped me too. Something made a turn for the better, Buzzer the Boxer and I both stabilized. And he is spunky enough to ask for special treats. Peace and Blessings to you. Thank you again for your efforts. My life, and certainly Buzzer's, has been enriched by your generosity.
Benny did seem a bit livelier this week. And seemed to have a little less pain (he tries not to show it, though). Thank you for all you have been doing. I know that it has contributed to the healing that is happening.
C.S. from Clifton .....
I just wanted to let you know that Gretchen is doing better than I would have dared to hope. She seems to be gaining strength every day. Her legs are stronger; she's playing a little and she just looks bigger. Thank you for your help.
This is a sample of the Intuitive Readings I do....It is not a prediction reading or yes or no answers to questions but a thorough in depth view of your overall position in life at the present time and how the past and future may have their affect on you. I take considerable time in preparing these and hopefully seeing this charting can help your own intuitive sense realize what is best for you. Arrangements can be made by PayPal or email me for payment options.
So much going on in your life.......hard to slow down to take enough time to see what is really happening. You may find yourself swept off your feet.....being excited about a new project or idea. You threw all your energy into it.CAUTION....Don't get carried away by an idea or by your feelings for someone. Be careful. Beware of going too fast....Beware of infatuation. There could be the end of an infatuation or a loving relationship....It depends on the Shift in Your Attitude. Jealousy and conflicts bring confusion and uncertainty. Projects become delayed...completion seems impossible. It seems to you the situation will just continue without end. THE END is in your hands. Your change in mindset is all that is needed.
You are juggling 2------you need to balance your life. It is flattering to have 2 or anything but this is causing you STRESS. There is a fine line that separates being carefree and careless- -------realize the things that NEED to be cared for in your life before YOU CROSS THIS LINE.
Freedom if not used wisely can be a limitation. You may be feeling a little trapped in life without knowing which way to turn. You may feel trapped by routine. Beware of being naive and getting in too deep. Sometimes difficult situations in life make us grow, accept responsibility and see what is of true importance in our life.
Sensitive artistic soul keenly aware of the spiritual world is close to you. You yourself are very empathic, good at dealing with people, you are the counselor or therapist. Important for you to have a mission in life.Someone else close by you is following their heart and romantic dreams but must avoid pitfalls of illusion. Much of their attention is in the world of dreams......You may feel conflicted on how you feel towards them in your heart and how you need to take action toward them.You have recently forgotten what is REALLY important in life. You are losing your way, forgotten your priorities, abandoned projects. Very Restless. Little trouble realizing what is in your best interests.The answer lies in your INNER strength and ability to decide what is best for you. You may have a hard time listening to others but your inner energy knows the path. Look inward and LISTEN.Most important, do not lose touch with reality. Don't give in to immediate desires. Realize things that will sustain you for the long haul.Know that sometimes lofty goals that started out promising may sometimes turn out to be a waste of our energy and evaporate our strength. There is a constant thread of realizing reality throughout your reading....not plunging into illusion.Sometimes our dreams can never be materialized in our present life, but the death of one dream allows for the flourishing of another....the right one born of this life. Don't turn away from your future to examine your past.Now is the time to WITHDRAW from distractions and distracting people. Don't let your energy evaporate from people who will extinguish your strength. LET THEM TAKE CARE OF THEMSELVES. FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION TO GO DEEP WITHIN. The guidance you receive will help you move forward more than you now think is possible. You are so caught up in worry and detail...go to your inner guide to counsel and protect you.Refresh your soul in silence and solitude...let these distractions go. Do not allow yourself to be deceived by immediate attractions or you may lose the long term sustenance you have. LOOK INSIDE......the answer is there.
I received an intuitive request about Tity, a dog with biting issues.......Here is what the owner said about the reading:
Thank you for taking time to do this for us! It's been very helpful because it tells me not to push Tity too much with regards to meeting strangers. The way you have described him is spot on and he does have that "sad" look from time to time which is probably the depressed/melancholy state that you mention. He has had this expression (from time to time) ever since he was a little puppy. And he is super protective of his family and he does have a stronger bond with one member of the family.
More than anything your reading confirms we should not push him too hard with strangers and I am very grateful for your advice. Thank you so much Shirl.

This is the Intuitive Reading I did on Tity
I have tried to get a feeling on Tity....please email if any of this makes sense to you.I feel he loves his family very much but does not welcome others..likes above everything a sense of balance and harmony in the days routine.....does not want intrusion by others to disrupt this. Extremely vigilant about keeping his little family unit in harmony and balance....but very independent and needs some time to be alone also...almost as if he suffers from a state of depression or melancholy when things are at of balance in the home. What could help this is a very steady routine in his life....a daily walk at the same time each day....his knowing that things are all according to the family schedule. He will always be protective of you so just keep this in mind if you have the type of home situation where others visit and come in and out during his day.....this would be very upsetting to him. He has an important bond with one member of the family..they are very dear to him....he likes to spend time in nature so the daily walk would be the best solution for him.
Please let me know how things progress. I would appreciate any feedback you can send me about this communication.
Blessings to you and Tity....he is a special loving dog, just needs special care and attention.
This is a healing request on an elderly horse named Thora who had seemed to be losing her will to fight against the disabling arthritic pain affecting her leg.......Her owner wrote:
Hey Shirl –
Well, I’m not sure if its my imagination but the mare seems a bit brighter. You’d have to be her “father” to notice the difference in facial expression but I think its there.
Seems to be moving a bit better. Some interesting impressions you had – I will give you a little feedback on that at some point.
Any impressions on aches & pains or trouble spots??
Coincidentally, right as I contacted you I contacted 2 therapeutic riding programs to see if they would be interested in them. I have in the past but their age makes them undesirable for that generally. But these were 2 I hadn’t tried. So far the reaction is 50/50 I’m dragging my feet on it. I think the regular light exercise and the constant attention will make them healthier, age better and in general be happier and more content. Also the programs are in jersey so I can check up on them regularly.
But oddly enough I got your email the same day I got email responses from those programs. So I don’t know who you were picking it up from but it was out there floating around.
This is the intuitive reading I did on Thora:
Lot going on emotionally with Thora....I get a sense that she led a very productive working life and is trying to come to grips with the fact that she now no longer can do the things she loved that gave her a sense of importance. It is very important that she believes she has value now for her health and well-being. She is very loving but sometimes the frustration she feels at not being as she was in her prime manifests itself with what you perceive as her sense of independence. It is her only way to control some aspect of her own dignity and self worth. I think Thora might be a wonderful candidate for getting involved with some kind of therapy for children or disabled adults. She needs a sense of work very strongly to make her want to fight any physical challenges now coming her way and give her the will to overcome them. Any stimulation you can provide even if it is only more of a commitment of your companionship would make her better able to come to peace in her mind that her life although it is changing can still be wonderful. Please let me know how she is responding.
I have had the pleasure of having Shirl do two intuitive readings for me and was pleasantly surprised at the accuracy with which she could read and interpret the messages. What`s more amazing is all she needs for an accurate reading is your first name. There are no questions asked that could be interpreted as “leading”. She brings a deep, sensitive understanding of current issues involving her client. Her candid demeanor makes it all the more believable. For anyone interested in intuitive readings, done in a completely professional, yet heartfelt manner, I would highly recommend “White Ivy Intuitive Readings “. You will not be disappointed. | <urn:uuid:83e3d3bd-1b56-4766-b1b9-c38fece3e4f2> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://briarrosereiki.com/feedback.html | 2017-06-23T01:33:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319943.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623012730-20170623032730-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.983255 | 9,342 | [

- Brand new Technical Centre to undertake manufacturing, personalisation and commissioning programmes for Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations division
- New Technical Centre located near Coventry represents a £20m investment by Jaguar Land Rover
- Technical Centre comprises four zones: Manufacturing Facility, Paint Facility, Technical Suite and new VIP Commissioning and Viewing Suites
Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) today officially opens its new Technical Centre in the heart of the British Midlands. The innovative new £20m facility near Coventry will be the headquarters of SVO and will house manufacturing, paint, technical and customer commissioning and presentation zones inside the 20,000m2 facility.
The new Technical Centre is significant representation of the growth of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations – the specialist division of Jaguar Land Rover created in June 2014 to build a business responsible for halo car products (SVO), Vehicle Personalisation, classic car programmes by Jaguar Land Rover Classic and an exciting range of Branded Goods.
John Edwards, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said: “The new Special Vehicle Operations Technical Centre is a major step forward in meeting the desires of our most discerning customers. There are more than 200 skilled employees here that are committed to outstanding quality and craftsmanship in everything they do.
“The SVO Technical Centre is very modern facility, inspired by a Formula 1 engineering centre. It covers 20,000 square metres including a manufacturing area, one of the world’s most eco-friendly and advanced paint shops, custom-built commissioning suite, technical suite, presentation suite and offices.
“This new Technical Centre enables us to build on the successful launches of the Range Rover Sport SVR, Range Rover SVAutobiography and Jaguar F-TYPE SVR , and provide an excellent foundation for the growth of the SVO business with the introduction of exciting new Vehicle Personalisation programmes.”
The Vision: Vehicle Personalisation
In future, customers will be able to visit the Technical Centre’s Bespoke Commissioning Suite by invitation, where they will explore the infinite range of possibilities for creating and customising their own Jaguar or Land Rover vehicle. A member of the Jaguar or Land Rover Design team will be on hand to assist the customer in the commissioning process.
Greg Clark, Director of Vehicle Personalisation said: “Our brand new facility delivers industry leading quality, precision and choice. We will encourage customers to participate in the design of their own vehicles, to give a real sense of emotional connection to something that they have created; something unique.
“Our aim is to progressively grow our portfolio to cater to, and exceed, the desires of our most discerning customers.”
The exclusive experience will continue through to the food served to customers visiting the Technical Centre. Michelin-starred chef Graham Edwards, who learned his trade in London’s West End and has previously worked with Raymond Blanc, is on hand to create a selection of dishes designed to suit the client or and utilising the very best of the Midlands’ regional ingredients.
The SVO story will continue in the Technical Centre once the customer has left, as their car is painted and hand-finished in the other three areas of the building.
The quality and attention to detail throughout the Technical Centre has been inspired by the exacting standards of the top level of motorsport. The workshop features a series of highly advanced workstations and has been created to enable the final assembly of SVO vehicles, by hand, to the highest possible quality. | <urn:uuid:c0f936af-a603-443a-a4a0-fe2bb631e2cb> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.westovergroup.co.uk/landrover/news/new-20m-technical-centre-opens-for-jaguar-land-rover-special-vehicle-operations/ | 2017-06-23T01:43:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319943.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623012730-20170623032730-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.9231 | 727 | [

I’m not sure why, but my first thought when I see a recipe is usually something along the lines of “that sounds great – I wonder how it would taste if I did THIS instead.” I guess I was never one to color within the lines either. In any case, that was what I thought when I ran across a recipe for a new (to me) cocktail called the White Lady. It was a martini-type cocktail made from gin, cointreau, and fresh lemon juice.
As I’m sure I’ve mentioned, one of my creative outlets is creating new cocktails for my friends. So when I saw this the first thing that came to mind (aside from “is it 5 o’clock yet?”) was Tanquerary Rangpur Gin. I discovered this a couple of years back – it’s distilled with rangpur limes (which are actually not limes – they are a cross between a mandarin orange and a lemon, but have a nice lime flavor), and has become my favorite for gin and tonics (I also love rangpur gin and bitter lemon).
I’ve been awfully well-behaved lately, and since it’s (a) spring break, (b) after 5pm, and (c) I keep getting texts about tornado warnings, I decided it was high-time I try out a new cocktail. I made only modest changes to the original recipe, namely: I substituted rangpur gin, and used Patron Citronage instead of Cointreau (much more affordable, and I think it works really well in cocktails). After tasting it, I decided to add 1 tsp. of sugar syrup for a modestly sweeter drink – it’s not a sweet cocktail by any stretch, but this made it more to my taste.
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add:
- 2 oz. (4 Tbsp.) Tanqueray Rangpur gin
- 1/2 oz (1 Tbsp.) Patron Citronage or other orange liquor
- 1/2 oz (1 Tbsp.) freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp. sugar syrup (optional)
Shake, and strain into a martini glass. (I love my stainless steel martini glasses – you can store them in the freezer so they are nicely chilled and you don’t have to worry about breaking them.) | <urn:uuid:bbe95812-dd97-4efd-828d-8dd525b3838f> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://susanlaury.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/rangpur-white-lady/ | 2017-06-23T01:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128319943.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20170623012730-20170623032730-00516.warc.gz | en | 0.955111 | 506 | [

Preparing the Mortar:
When installing thin veneer, a bonding agent is required in the setting mortar.
Mortar should be mixed to a workable consistency.
Type S mortar
1 cup bonding agent per bag of mortar
Preparing the Surface:
Over sheetrock, wallboard, paneling, plywood, other rigid wood-related sheathing or rigid insulation board. Cover the wall surface with a weather-resistive barrier. The barrier shall be equal to that provided for in the U.B.C. Standard No. 14-1 for Kraft waterproof building paper of asphalt-saturated rag felt. The building paper or felt shall be applied horizontally with the upper layer lapped over the lower layer not less than 2 inches. Where vertical joints occur, the felt or paper shall be lapped not less than 6 inches. Then install 2.5 lb. (or heavier) diamond mesh expanded metal lath. Use galvanized lath for exterior applications. Black metal lath (non-galvanized) may be used for interior applications. Overlap lath sides by not less than ½” and lath ends by not less than 1 inch. Attach the lath using galvanized nails or staples 6″ on center vertically and 16″ on center horizontally, penetrating studs a minimum of 1″. Be sure to attach the metal lath with the small cups pointing upwards. Double wrap metal lath a minimum of 16″ around all inside and outside corners. Then apply a ½” thick scratch coat of mortar over the metal lath and allow it to set. Mortar can either be type N or S.
Over clean unpainted, unsealed, untreated brick, block, concrete or other masonry surfaces: No surface prep is necessary.
Over painted, sealed or treated brick, block, concrete or other masonry surfaces: The surface must either a) be cleaned back to the original surface by sandblasting, water blasting, acid etching or wire brushing, or b) have metal lath attached using corrosion-resistant concrete nails with a scratch coat applied over the metal lath.
Applying the Stone:
Setting the stone: Using a mason’s trowel, apply approximately ½” thick even layer of mortar to the entire back of the stone. Then press the stone firmly into place on the prepared wall surface, squeezing the mortar out around all edges. Using a gentle wiggling action or tapping of stone will ensure a good bond. For jointless/dry-stacked installations, it’s important when setting the stone that the edges of the stone are properly sealed with mortar to ensure satisfactory bond. If the stone is being installed onto a very dry surface or in a hot/dry climate, the wall surface should be wet to prevent excessive absorption of moisture from the mortar. This can be done by spraying or brushing water onto the wall surface. The wall surface should be allowed to dry for a few minutes after wetting to eliminate excess surface water.
Grouting the joints: After the stone has been applied to the wall surface, use a grout bag to fill the joints with mortar, forcing grout into any voids. Any mortar that accidentally gets on the stone should be allowed to set until dry and crumbly, and then brushed off with a dry whisk broom.
“Dry stack look”: We recommend grouting to fill noticeable voids and to conceal cut or broken stone edges. Approximately ½ amount of grout as for “jointed look”. The “dry stack” appearance will result from deep striking of the joints.
Finishing the joints: When the mortar joints become firm (normally 30-60 minutes), use a wooden or metal striking tool to rake out the excess mortar to the desired depth while at the same time forcing the mortar into the joints so as to thoroughly seal the stone edges. Be careful not to work the joints too soon or the mortar will smear.After working the joints, use a whisk broom to smooth the joints and clean away any loose mortar from the joints and stone face. Loose mortar and mortar spots which have set for only a few hours clean up easily and should never be allowed to set up overnight.
- It is important to divert water run-off away from stone surfaces by using can’t trip, gutters and flashing. Water run-off combined with severe freeze-thaw conditions can result in damage. Stone should not be used below water level.
- Do not install in temperatures below 40° Fahrenheit. Provide supplemental heat if necessary to ensure a minimum of 40° Fahrenheit temperature between installation and mortar drying for approximately 24 hours.
- DO NOT USE STRAIGHT MURADIC ACID to clean stone. Recommended cleaners are either white vinegar or a stone detergent mixed according to manufacturer’s instuctions, such as SureKleen’s 600 detergent.

Thank you, Sweet Elderly Lady, whom I shall call Sweet!
You came over to our table as you were leaving and spoke to my 8 month old baby, Ice Cream. You told her how sweet and adorable she was! Apparently while I was in the bathroom with Artist, trying to get the ketchup out of her white shirt, 2 other women came by and did the same. Ice Cream is the smiliest baby I have EVER seen! In fact, as much as I love the nickname Boo gave her before she was born, I think from here on out I’m going to refer to her as Smiles!
Of course, every Momma loves to hear nice things about her kid! And I love how much joy my baby brings to everyone around her! But that’s not the main thing that stuck with me. You, Sweet, opened up a little more than that. You spoke some real words to her, deeper and more personal, honest, and vulnerable than the rest. You told my baby that you were watching her during your whole lunch, and her smiles helped you eat more than you’ve been able to in a long time.
I loved hearing those words. Partially because one day I want to tell Smiles that from the beginning she was a blessing to people and spread cheer wherever she went. But mostly, I loved them because you inspired me.
My small group was studying about being in tune to God’s leading, and one thing that stuck with me was the idea of following your impulses. Those little urges to do something that we (or at least I) generally ignore, either because it seems silly, or would take time, or whatever.
And you, Sweet, gave me a beautiful example of doing something that I might have been worried wouldn’t be well received or that might have been considered a little crazy…but being on the receiving end of it, I felt only blessed! So, thank you! Next time I have an impulse to do something nice, I’ll try not to let what I’m afraid others might think cause me not to do it! 🙂 | <urn:uuid:e037248d-aef3-401f-a7c3-66da0c2d5eca> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://runningwithspears.com/to-the-sweet-elderly-lady-at-black-eyed-pea/ | 2017-06-24T15:44:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320264.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624152159-20170624172159-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.988547 | 442 | [

Settlers of the 1800’s once suspected it to be filled with marble and gold treasures, Spanish explorers searched for the fountain of youth here and the Osage Indians feared the strange noises that came from deep within it, dubbing it “The Devil’s Den.”
Ever since it was first discovered, Marvel Cave has been attracting visitors with its interesting history, mysterious darkness and the breathtaking beauty it holds underneath the Earth’s surface.
What is now the foundation and the entrance of the popular 1800’s mining town amusement park, Silver Dollar City, was first discovered around the year 1500 AD by the Osage Indians. They often heard mysterious noises coming from the entrance of the cave so they avoided going near it, let alone inside the dark cavern.
In 1869, explorers traveled deep into the unknown caverns looking for marble and other mineral deposits. During that time, the cave was referred to as Marble Cave.
By the year 1894, Marble Cave was an Ozark tourist attraction operated by William Henry Lynch and his two daughters. Visitors traveled from all over to see the cave and Lynch continued to run the operation for another 50 years. After his death, the cave’s name was changed to Marvel Cave.
Today, a cave tour is included with your admission ticket to Silver Dollar City. You’ll get to explore the Cathedral Room, 300 feet below Earth’s surface as you learn even more about the cave’s history and geological beauty.
The hour-long tour will allow you to examine the limestone rock formations up close as you climb almost 600 stairs. Your experienced tour guide will narrate your tour with detailed explanations of everything you see along with interesting and entertaining stories about the cave.
A new tour begins every half hour, so next time you’re visiting Silver Dollar City, stop and take a tour of Marvel Cave. You’ll be amazed by mother nature’s magnificent show!

An Age report into the future of passwords is interesting reading.
Looking for a safe password? You can give HQbgbiZVu9AWcqoSZmChwgtMYTrM7HE3ObVWGepMeOsJf4iHMyNXMT1BrySA4d7 a try. Good luck memorising it.
Sixty-three random alpha-numeric characters — in this case, generated by an online password generator — are as good as it gets when it comes to securing your virtual life.
But as millions of internet users have learned the hard way, no password is safe when hackers can, and do, pilfer them en masse from banks, email services, retailers or social media websites that fail to fully protect their servers.
Security experts widely agree on two core principles: make your passwords as long as possible, mixing up words with some numbers and symbols, and never ever use the same password for more than one website.
Beyond that, just cross your fingers and pray that the website you’re using is doing all it can at its end to protect the mental keys to your virtual world.
As someone who had their account hacked recently, I believe that password security is something that we don’t really take seriously until our account/s are compromised. Don’t wait for it to happen to you.
Read the whole report here.
Recently the Independent newspaper (UK) published a piece on the safety and security (or lack thereof) of our passwords.
Alarm bells have been ringing for security professionals more or less continuously over the past three years. In 2011, the number of Americans affected by data breaches increased 67 per cent. Every quarter, another multinational firm seems to trip up. PlayStation was a larger casualty, forced to pay $171 million (£112.8m) to protect gamers after its network was broken into. Before Twitter went down, 6.5 million encrypted passwords were harvested from LinkedIn, 250,000 of which later appeared ‘cracked open’ on a Russian forum. (‘1234’ was the second most popular choice; ‘IwishIwasdead’ and ‘hatemyjob’ appeared on one occasion each.) Now all these once-precious words have been added to gigantic lists that hackers can spin against other accounts in future attacks.
In part, progress depends on us – the web’s innocent masses. It’s been four weeks since I changed my password to a cavalry of new passphrases, and muscle memory still sees the old beloved word (a retro chewy sweet) typed into password boxes across the web. Companies will struggle to create security that gets under this convenience limbo. But the web is a darker place than most of us realise, and while we wait for better technology to filter through, it’s probably best to get used to slowing down and locking up.
Read the entire article here.
A few days ago The Sydney Morning Herald reported on the advent of malicious software apparently holding your computer to ransom.
It seems that some computer users receive a message from the Australian Federal Police saying that their computer is locked and a payment is required for unlocking.
The first police-themed ransomware arrived in October in Australia, shortly before the Australian Federal Police (AFP) warned that cybercriminals were using its logo in a scam to trick victims into paying a fraudulent $100 fine for “illegal” online activity.
A spokesperson for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), which operates consumer alert service Scamwatch, told Fairfax that it had received 100 complaints of police ransomware since the Australian-targeted scam first emerged.

Although it is just a new addition to the social media stable, Google+ throws up some privacy issues.

I have two theories of where glitter originated. 1) The Seventh Circle of Hell occasionally has pieces break off it and those pieces crumble into tiny shiny fragments that Satan himself then blows to earth. 2) A pre-school or elementary teacher invented glitter as their ultimate tool of revenge against parents.
Once a project with glitter enters your home, it's all over. Never again will you have a floor that doesn't sparkle, clothing that doesn't look like you raided the Kardashian sisters' closets or food that doesn't shimmer under the kitchen lights. You've heard the saying "it reproduced like rabbits"? Glitter makes a mockery of that statement.
There is no vacuum made that has enough suction to suck up glitter. Mop it up? Forget it! A mop will just redistribute the twinkling pieces to another portion of your tile or wood floor. You will leave your home looking like you're ready for 70's night, forever. You will think after dusting, vacuuming, steam cleaning carpets, sweeping and mopping that you have FINALLY eradicated your humble abode of the evil presence, and then you will find MORE. Suddenly the mere mention of Las Vegas, awards shows and Mariah Carey will make you cry unabashedly.
You want to tick off someone royally? Put glitter in the card or letter you send them. As these surprise glitter attacks become more common, people are beginning to think of party invitations and Christmas cards like letter bombs. "DON'T open that - It may be loaded!" Opening what was once anticipated mail becomes a lesson in how to don a Hazmat suit. If this horrible trend continues, authorities may have to train and deploy Glitter Squads for the protection of sane people's homes.
I realize that there will always be glitter fanatics. Should there come a day when it is unlawful to have and use the abhorrent craft material, an underground black market would surely arise. None of us want that. Instead, I propose creating glitter free zones. The No Glitter logo could be displayed prominently on front doors, children's backpacks and mailboxes. All the sparkly loving people can glitter each other to death - just leave the rest of us to our shimmer and shine free existence.

A Facebook-branded phone, similar to the Google phone that came out last year? That's the rumor of the day.
Insider sources have tipped off Techcrunch editor Michael Arrington to the possibility that the social networking giant might be working on a legitimate piece of hardware themed around its massive community-driven service, a report indicates.
A report from CNET added weight to the rumor, stating that hardware manufacturers confirmed that the social-networking company had reached out to them. However, a spokesman for Facebook immediately denied the rumors.
"The story is not accurate. Facebook is not building a phone," Jaime Schopflin said.
The reports suggest that the actual hardware of the phone is being developed by a third-party manufacturer, with Facebook itself working on the underlying customizations to the Android operating system that said phone will be running.
According to Arrington, Facebook was jealous of Google's Nexus One upon its launch. To best integrate its own services into a phone, Facebook realized that it needs to push beyond its typical application-based offerings and directly tie its services into the core of the operating system. That means a contact list that's essentially a Facebook friends list, a calendar that's based on Facebook events, et cetera.
It's unclear just how this treatment would differ from what currently exists on the Android platform, however -- after all, it's not unheard of for phones to synchronize all of these elements with Facebook's current offerings. Perhaps everything would be directly hard-coded to the site's offerings, in that one's "photos" would jump to a synchronized version of Facebook's, or one's location could be updated via Facebook Places with the touch of a single button.
All ruminations, but if Arrington is correct, the sky's the limit for what Facebook could potentially stick in its rumored "affordable" phone -- which could sell for around $50, he speculated.
And it's not as if Facebook lacks the talent to completely reconfigure rival Google's open-source operating system to its own purposes. Arrington claims that both Joe Hewitt -- creator of Facebook's Web and iPhone-based apps -- and Matthew Papakipos -- former Google Chrome OS project lead until he left the company for Facebook in June -- are teaming up to spearhead the Facebook Phone initiative.
Nevertheless, if true, Facebook's rumored phone development would tie in nicely with the company's latest attempts to push into the mobile space. Or, to borrow a quote from Facebook head of mobile products Erick Tseng from this year's MobileBeat 2010 conference, "We really see mobile as the future."
Who would have ever thought he could have been subtly talking about hardware, rather than Facebook's 150 million-plus mobile user base?

2000 mustang passenger window goes up and down fine but driverside is stuck down
Can you hear a motor running when you try to roll up or down the driver's window? If you can hear the motor running but nothing is moving then the gear kit in the motor is bad. If you hear nothing then either the switch or the motor is bad. You can test the switch with a simple test light.

Part I: Having my doubts
When we left off, my mom and I had just arrived at the little bridal shop in my neighborhood, only to find one woman, clearly not an employee (and also, it turns out, not an English speaker), knitting in the corner... and no one else. Anywhere. In the whole store. For at least five minutes. My fears! Confirmed!
But my mom and I took advantage of the opportunity to pointedly ignore the signs, posted all over the samples, that read "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH DRESSES. ASK FOR ASSISTANCE"after all, there was no one to assist us, five minutes after our appointment was scheduled. The selection was small, but it was good, and my first choice dress at the time was one of three in the window, which I took to be a serendipitous sign.
Eventually, the manager came out and, to her credit, didn't yell at us for getting our grubby hands all over the sample dresses. :) She directed me to a seat, pulled out a binder full of pictures, and told me to mark the ones I liked, because they were all of the dresses that she had in the store.
I must have marked at least ten dresses: one I'd tried before, the remainder were a mix of my choices and my mom's choices.
First up was a La Sposa satin gown, Fana.
I still don't know why I marked this dress. Was it everything I ever hoped and dreamed? Hell no. It was practically nothing that I wanted in a dress: it was shiny, it was drape-y, it was kind of boring. But when I tried it on, it looked fabulous in oyster, a sort of dark champagne color. The draping made me look like a six foot-tall supermodel. I don't think I'd ever seen myself in anything so slimming and flattering before.
I came out of the dressing room feeling like a million bucks, while my mom sat in a big cushy chair on the complete other side of the shop. "What do you think?" I asked, all smiles and enthusiasm. "I don't know," she said as she fidgeted with her cell phone and calendar. "Come closer; let me look at it."
Hm. This wasn't the response I expected, or the scene as I'd envisioned it.
"Um, it's pretty long and kind of hard to walk; why don't you get up and come here?"
After some huffing and puffing, my mom put her stuff back in her purse and walked over, putting on her glasses to give me her most critical eye. In a little notebook, she wrote down the name of the dress ("La Sposa, not Lasso," "O-Y-S-T-E-R, not ouster"), and her response ("Maybe"). She criticized the fit ("Mom, it's a size 10; it's not supposed to fit"). She sat back down.
Unnerved and in a nervous sweat (sorry, whoever tries that dress on next!), I went back for the second dress... | <urn:uuid:8c02dbdb-0065-421d-8a7b-73ff0010ce16> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://howtotieknots.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-i-found-my-wedding-dress-part-ii.html | 2017-06-27T20:36:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321553.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627203405-20170627223405-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.985083 | 662 | [

Lead acid batteries are 100% recyclable. Lead is the most recycled metal in the world today. The plastic containers and covers of old batteries are neutralized, reground and used to the manufacture of new battery cases. The electrolyte can be processed for recycled waste water uses. In some cases, the electrolyte is cleaned and reprocessed and sold as battery grade electrolyte. In other instances, the sulfate content is removed as Ammonia Sulfate and used in fertilizers. The separators are often used as a fuel source for the recycling process. | <urn:uuid:0f60511f-ac78-4ed4-a5d9-38082549783a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.vrla-batteries.com/article/are-lead-acid-batteries-recyclable.html | 2017-06-27T20:54:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321553.70/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627203405-20170627223405-00277.warc.gz | en | 0.950256 | 116 | [

Mid-Week Round Up: October 1

Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards appeared at a House committee hearing on Tuesday. The House is debating a bill to revoke Planned Parenthood’s federal funding. Republicans criticized the CEO’s salary and grilled her about recent videos that purport to show illegal activity. Richards called the videos “sensationalistic” and argued that they “mislead rather than inform public debate.” President Obama has promised to veto the bill if it reaches the Senate.
(Content warning: rape) When a woman was raped by her sister’s fiancé, how could both she and her sister get arrested while the rapist goes free? Buzzfeed reports on a shocking mishandling of justice that led to not only the re-traumatizing of a rape victim but also the death of a child.
In September 2014, 43 students from Ayotzinapa, Mexico, went missing. Although local gang members confessed to murdering the students, their confession is suspect and the fate of the students is unknown. Slate has a heartbreaking reflection on the art projects that have arisen to honour the missing students, as well as the longstanding Mexican tradition of blending protest with art.
Officials in a mostly Aboriginal community downplayed the seriousness of a tuberculosis (TB) outbreak for months, CBC has found. In the largely Inuit community of Nain in northern Labrador, at least 14 people were infected with TB, and one person died. Public health officials did not release information about the outbreak until weeks after it began.
As the federal election approaches on October 19, the Liberals, NDP and Green parties have all vowed to repeal Bill C-36. The Conservative law makes it a crime to secure the services of a sex worker and has been criticized for endangering sex workers by driving them underground.

Hans Rollman writes about the growing field of trans literature, asking leading scholars how they see what seems to be a new era of trans representation in writing. As one scholar puts it:
“I think about it as literature which engages the idea of trans people as a reading public. Literature is often thought of as a way of expressing the values or history of a community and in order to do that in a way that is not reductive, one needs to be writing towards other trans people.”

I will be shooting portraits this weekend (first time ever attempt) and am curious of the best possible lighting positions for singles and couples for the startup. I know I can chimp and will probably move setup for different moods. However, the nerves are a bit frayed thinking about it, so I was hoping some of you can give me a good starting point to increase my chances of not looking an idiot. I expect to be shooting indoors 8 ceilings, but if the weather cooperates, may move outdoors for some shots. My gear will be one each SB-600 & SB-800 with adjustable 6 light stand for each, 5-in-1 32 reflector set with disc holder and stand and a 43 white satin umbrella, various clamps. Also have a white, neutral and light blue backdrops (okay cotton sheets). Ambient light is questionable. I will be shooting with a Nikon D80 and a variety of lenses to choose from, but likely to stay with 35mm f/2, 50mm f/1.8 and 85mm f/1.8. I have a couple of books on portraiture due to arrive today, but doubtful any thorough reading before doing the shoot.

MIND THE DATA
Search for Gender Based Differences In Alzheimer’s Disease
- The goal of the 2013 Geoffrey Beene Global NeuroDiscovery Challenge is to identify male/female differences in the pathogenesis and presentation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the pre-symptomatic, early symptomatic and late stages of AD. The objective of this Challenge is to generate novel hypotheses addressing the causes and consequences of such differences.
- The Solvers are also expected to provide a rationale supported by available data and a detailed research plan describing how to test the hypothesis. Of particular interest are hypotheses that can be validated in a secondary phase by mining existing AD databases for analysis of variables associated with gender differences in AD.
- This Challenge requires only a written proposal.
- New insights, paradigms and tools are urgently needed to gain a better understanding of the processes associated with the pathogenesis and presentation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in both women and men. This new knowledge will not only help reveal the existence of biologic male/female differences at different stages of the disease but will also contribute to a mechanistic understanding of the neurodegenerative cascade in AD.
- To address this need, the Geoffrey Beene Foundation Alzheimer’s Initiative (GBFAI), through the launch of its 2013 Geoffrey Beene Global NeuroDiscovery Challenge, seeks to identify male/female differences in the pathogenesis and presentation of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in the pre-symptomatic, early symptomatic and late dementia stages because answers may come from looking across the spectrum of the disease.
- The objective of this Challenge is to generate novel hypotheses addressing the causes and consequences of such differences. All novel hypotheses related to the topic are encouraged.
- This is a Theoretical Challenge that requires only a written proposal to be submitted. The Challenge award will be contingent upon theoretical evaluation of the proposal by the Seeker.
- To receive an award, the Solvers will not have to transfer their exclusive intellectual property (IP) rights to the Seeker. Instead, they will grant to the Seeker non-exclusive license to practice their solutions.
- GBFAI and other Challenge Sponsors are extremely interested in further development of one or more of the Winning Solutions after the completion of this Challenge. While interest and ability to implement the Solutions are not required to win an award, Solvers should indicate their interest (or lack thereof) in participating in the follow-up implementation of their proposal. | <urn:uuid:85141554-d1ad-4461-9d21-9e4dc77ac84c> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://geoffreybeenechallenge.org/challenge/ | 2017-06-29T10:49:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323908.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629103036-20170629123036-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.911394 | 511 | [

...and no I'm not talking about the magic cleaning product. I'm talking about these rediculous high heels that I walked away with last night.
I needed to run to the Nine West Outlet Store last night to purchase some new black pumps for work. These are my go to work shoes. I wear them at least twice a week. LOVE THEM but the heel broke yesterday and the super glue just wasn't going to hold it. Of course you have to look around the whole store. It's freaking buy one, get one half off.

High-flying Easyjet to land £200m
Easyjet profits have soared by more than 50% and will top £200m this year as European airline passengers continue to defect to the budget carriers.
Despite tax attacks on travellers, such as Gordon Brown's £2bn passenger duty, and the green lobby's warnings over air travel, easyJet today reported that over the past year it carried 37.2m people throughout Europe, 4.2m or 13% more than in the previous year.
The carrier has attracted passengers by cutting fares by an average of 6.8% over the past 12 months but has increased revenues by charging for bags, selling food and drink more vigorously on its planes and getting its customers to buy its car hire and hotel packages.
As easyJet spreads its wings - it has concentrated on expanding in Italy and Spain and new services will make it France's leading budget carrier - unit costs have fallen 10%.
'We have achieved significant improvement in margins despite the doubling of air passenger duty in the UK and record fuel prices,' said chief executive Andy Harrison.
The airline had already told analysts to expect profit growth of up to 50% in the year to end-September.
Those earnings, easyJet said today, will actually grow by more than half again for the second year running after it reversed the write-off of its investment in the part-privatised air traffic controller Nats.
It has re-valued its 6% stake in Nats at £11m, having written off its initial investment of £7m five years ago when Nats was bailed out by the Government.

A few hundred years ago, Cascadia Island didn t even exist. Like the Washington seacoast, it was rock submerged beneath the Pacific. A massive earthquake changed that, exploding the rock upward, making it land unstable land, according to seismologist Dr. Doug Lam. Lam has spent years researching the Cascadia Subduction Zone. He published a theory that the unrelieved tectonic strain beneath the idyllic landscape of Cascadia Island could be triggered with modern construction processes with catastrophic results. The paper was disregarded, even ridiculed, by his peers and by mega wealthy developer Mick Walker, who stands to earn millions from the construction of a luxury resort on Cascadia. The elegant casino, hotel, and convention center will reap millions for him even if the tiny island only lasts for a short time When a series of earthquakes begins to shake the Northwest Corridor, Doug s worst fears are confirmed. In an attempt to convince Walker to evacuate Cascadia immediately, Doug hurries to join guests arriving for the resort s grand opening. As the tremors wreak havoc across the Northwest coastal area, the military is left with too few resources to assist the people on Cascadia. Convinced that the island will be in ruins within hours, Doug reluctantly calls upon his girlfriend, Jennifer Lindstrom, president of Nightingale Aviation a major medical transport helicopter company for help. With snow falling, visibility dropping, and winds increasing, Doug embarks on an impossible mission with Jennifer and Nightingale s helicopters to evacuate over three hundred people, while smaller earthquakes continue to herald the approach of a catastrophic tsunami. John J. Nance hurtles readers along a nail-biting quest to rescue hundreds of stranded vacationers and resort staff. Meticulously researched, and with the signature authenticity only a veteran pilot could provide, Saving Cascadia is a hair-raising thriller of awesome magnitude.

Turkey-tastic Trivia: What Content Are You Most Thankful For?
A Thanksgiving quiz for the modern marketer
November 21, 2014
Similar to the Thanksgiving feast we are all looking forward to this next week, your blog boasts a wide spread – of content, that is. Or at least it should.
Earlier this year, we helped marketers discover the “Blogging Food Groups” to feed audiences a variety of quality content on their blog. As a recap, here are the 5 blogging food groups essential for a successful content marketing strategy:
- Whole Wheat & Grains: Hearty & filling content you can dish out on the daily. Carbs at their best are those how-to posts featuring useful & relevant topics.
- Vegetables: It might not be your favorite, but you know it’s good for you. If you eat your veggies you also enjoy a healthy serving of case studies & thought leadership pieces.
- Meat: Those valuable, time-consuming projects that leave readers begging for more. Think ‘Big Rock’ content and strategic research & analysis.
- Dessert: The sweet & sharable course that has everyone coming back for seconds. This light-hearted, cultural content typically accompanied by graphics & videos is a definite crowd pleaser.
- Condiments: Guaranteed to liven up any meal, a dash of this content can spread like fire. Just like that ‘hot’ post you read recently that was packed with bold statements and helpful links.
This year, we want to help you reflect back on 2014 – the content you have created, shared and consumed – and discover the content you are most thankful for.
Sure, everyone places great emphasis on the Turkey; the valuable, time-consuming ‘Big Rock’ content that takes its place as the centerpiece of most marketing campaigns. But lets not forget about all of the sides and condiments that liven up the meal. And some would argue that dessert, the sweet and shareable course, is the best part of the meal.
So, what kind of content are you most thankful for? Take our turkey-tastic quiz to find out!

How did all of this start? The Underground Music Showcase was founded in 2001 by then Denver Post music writer,
John Moore, who now covers theater for the paper. He who already had been writing about local music, and wanted to add a live-music component to his yearly a survey of local music experts that crowned Denver’s top acts. This year’s winner was Hearts of Palm. click here to read our feature on the winning band, and click here to check out the 2008 UMS Poll results.

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) - Secrecy disputes disrupted a pretrial hearing on Thursday in the Guantanamo war crimes tribunal for five prisoners charged with plotting the September 11 hijacked plane attacks in 2001.
Defense attorneys said the audio feed to the spectators' gallery had briefly been cut, as was the feed that provides Arabic-to-English translation to the defendants, who include the alleged mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
The interruption came as one of the defense lawyers, U.S. Navy Commander Walter Ruiz, questioned a former commander of the Guantanamo detention operation about whether intelligence agencies or contractors were meddling with attorney-client mail that is supposed to be confidential.
Ruiz referred at one point to the CIA and at another to the USDI, the undersecretary of defense for intelligence - a senior U.S. Defense Department post.
Prosecutors objected to the questioning and Ruiz said the audio feed had been cut by an unseen hand outside the courtroom. Prosecutors said it had not been cut.
Ruiz asked if he should refer to the CIA as "the agency who shall remain nameless." After a side conversation that was inaudible to journalists watching on monitors in the press center, Ruiz said, "I will not be threatened by prosecution and I want that to be clear."
In accordance with the rules governing the tribunal, the judge called for a closed session to decide what could be discussed in open court. Spectators were ordered out and the defendants were removed, triggering a round of objections from their lawyers.
Secrecy disputes have regularly sidetracked the proceedings at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A previous hearing was disrupted when intelligence monitors listening from outside the courtroom cut the public audio feed, but the judge, Army Colonel James Pohl, ordered that kill switch disabled.
The United States has held foreign terrorism suspects at the Guantanamo facility, which has been criticized by rights groups and others.
Pohl still must decide whether the defendants can be present in the courtroom when classified information is discussed during pretrial hearings.
The lawyers have said that most of the classified information relates to the years the defendants spent in secret CIA prisons between their capture in 2002 and 2003 and their transfer to Guantanamo in 2006.
The agency has acknowledged that Mohammed was subjected to the mock-drowning technique known as waterboarding 183 times, and defense lawyers say all five defendants were interrogated using now-banned methods that constituted torture.
Once the trial starts, which will be in late 2014 at the earliest, the defendants will be allowed to hear everything heard by the jury of U.S. military officers who will decide whether they are guilty of crimes that could lead to the death penalty, including terrorism, hijacking and murdering 2,976 people.
Prosecutors argue that trial rules allow the defendants to be excluded from pretrial hearings to discuss legal arguments pertaining to classified information that could jeopardize national security if disclosed.
Defense lawyers argue that the rules allow them to stay in the courtroom unless they are disruptive, and that they should be allowed to hear all the pretrial arguments in a case that could end with their execution.
"Mr. Mohammed has a right to be present when we're talking about matters that deal with his torture," said Mohammed's lawyer, David Nevin.
Prosecutors acknowledged that the defendants had been exposed to classified intelligence sources and methods during their time in CIA custody. The judge said that if the defendants themselves were to testify about such matters, then "obviously they'll be present for that."
"If the information came from them in the first place then we can release it back to them," defense attorney James Connell clarified during Wednesday's session. He represents Mohammed's nephew, Ali Aziz Abdul Ali, who is accused of sending the September 11 hijackers $120,000 for expenses and flight training.
The defendants have sat quietly during this week's hearings, flipping through court documents and chatting with their lawyers without any of the outbursts that have marked earlier hearings.
All were dressed in white clothing, with turbans or keffiyehs. Mohammed wore a jungle-print camouflage jacket over his.

Binyam Mohamed Torture Evidence 'Hidden From Obama'
Letter to president about Binyam Mohamed was blanked out, say campaigners as they prepare for Guantánamo prisoner's release to UK
US defence officials are preventing Barack Obama from seeing evidence that a former British resident held in Guantánamo Bay
has been tortured, the prisoner's lawyer said last night, as
campaigners and the Foreign Office prepared for the man's release in as
little as a week.
Clive Stafford Smith, the director of the legal
charity Reprieve, which represents Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed, sent
Obama evidence of what he called "truly mediaeval" abuse but
substantial parts were blanked out so the president could not read it.
In the letter to the president [PDF] , Stafford Smith urges him to order the disclosure of the evidence.
Smith tells Obama he should be aware of the "bizarre reality" of the
situation. "You, as commander in chief, are being denied access to
material that would help prove that crimes have been committed by US
personnel. This decision is being made by the very people who you
It is understood US defence officials might have
censored the evidence to protect the president from criminal liability
or political embarrassment.
The letter and its blanked-out
attachment were disclosed as two high court judges yesterday agreed to
reopen the court case in which Mohamed's lawyers, the Guardian and
other media are seeking disclosure of evidence of alleged torture
against him. Mohamed's lawyers are challenging the judges' gagging
order, claiming that David Miliband, the foreign secretary, changed his
In a judgment last week, Lord Justice Thomas and Mr
Justice Lloyd Jones stated repeatedly that Miliband claimed the US had
threatened to stop sharing intelligence with the UK if information
relating to Mohamed's alleged torture was disclosed. Miliband
subsequently denied the US had applied such pressure. The case will be
reopened next month.
After a meeting with Mohamed's US-appointed
military lawyer, Lieutenant Colonel Yvonne Bradley, Miliband said
yesterday that the US had granted permission for Foreign Office
officials to visit Mohamed. The Foreign Office said the officials would
be joined by a Metropolitan police doctor, who would accompany Mohamed
back to the UK if he is released.
Stafford Smith said he believed
this trip was to check Mohamed was fit to fly after the hunger strike
that he has maintained for over a month. He stressed that no date for
his client's release had been fixed, but "I think we're talking about a
week, I sincerely hope so".
Millband said the US administration
had agreed to treat Mohamed's case as "a priority", adding that Britain
was working with Washington for "a swift resolution". Bradley said
later: "We haven't been given any specific date about Mr Mohamed's
Earlier, she told a press conference that Mohamed's treatment "would make waterboarding seem like child's play".
and Stafford Smith yesterday met in private with members of the
intelligence and security committee, the group of MPs and peers facing
mounting criticism in Westminster over claims it failed to effectively
scrutinise the activities of MI5. Stafford Smith said he told the
committee it would have been "absolutely impossible" for it to have
cleared MI5 of involvement in the torture of Mohamed had it seen 42 key
documents in the case - as he has - that Miliband says cannot be
released for reasons of national security.
Bill Delahunt, a senior Democrat congressman and chairman of the House of Representatives subcommittee on human rights
and oversight, said: "We cannot let our governments stonewall ... I
take offence at the idea that secrecy is being maintained in order to
preserve national security." He told the all-party committee on
rendition: "The treatment of detainees has done great harm to the
security of both our nations."
Lieutenant Colonel Nigel Wylde,
who worked in intelligence in Northern Ireland, told the committee:
"The use of torture is utterly counterproductive because it breeds
hatred against us and encourages people to become extremists."
Davies, a former shadow home secretary, said torture was wrong morally
and legally, ineffective and undermined the safety of British people.
"Was the government involved, was it a matter of policy or a matter of
freelancing - failure of policy or a failure of control?"
Liberal Democrat foreign affairs spokesman, Edward Davey, said:
"Miliband's bad judgment in blocking the courts from publishing this
evidence of torture is being compounded by his refusal to press the new
Obama administration to disclose this evidence freely." | <urn:uuid:ab2d9c72-9d5e-4f96-a37e-bfae25857e94> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.commondreams.org/news/2009/02/12/binyam-mohamed-torture-evidence-hidden-obama?quicktabs_1=0 | 2017-06-25T15:03:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320532.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625134002-20170625154002-00317.warc.gz | en | 0.96177 | 979 | [

Bill O’Reilly, the fallen star of Fox News Channel, might receive as much as $25 million after being dropped.
The amount is equal to about a year’s salary for O’Reilly, who was formally let go Wednesday over allegations of sexual harassment and other inappropriate conduct. The amount was reported by several news outlets, all citing unnamed sources.
The New York Times first reported that five women received a total of $13 million, much of it paid by O’Reilly, after they complained about O’Reilly’s behavior.
The Times reported Thursday that payouts related to sexual harassment allegations at Fox News has cost parent company 21st Century Fox more than $85 million. The total includes up to $65 million being paid to the men forced out because of harassment allegations. | <urn:uuid:f5a02d56-38bd-4eeb-b592-1ea3c8c87241> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/bill-oreilly-may-get-25-million-payout-reports/ | 2017-06-26T08:48:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320695.49/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626083037-20170626103037-00397.warc.gz | en | 0.969642 | 166 | [

I was looking for an API to connect Bigcommerce and Lightspeed. Your software looks like it would do the job. We switched to Lightspeed a week ago and will be moved over to Bigcommerce next week. How long does your setup take?
Thank you for your interest in Modern Retail and our Bigcommerce/Lightspeed Integrator. The entire process takes about 2 weeks to get Lightspeed integrated with Bigcommerce. However, our integration ONLY works with Lightspeed "Cloud" and not their "On-Premise" version. If you have Lightspeed installed at your location, you cannot use this integrator. I’m sorry.
When you are ready to begin, you can buy our Lightspeed Bigcommerce integration here:
Here’s the process we’ll follow to get you onboarded:
And here’s one about our on-going support and upgrades:
Please let me know if you need anything else.

Backwards, so that the dangles hang behind you. Very cool if you have a low cut shirt in the back, or a boat neck.
The original idea was to have a necklace that had dangles. I have a sketch of my idea, and I was all set to make it, until the clasp I had in mind went AWOL. Instead I used a sterling silver ring (that used to be a clasp, but broke) and worked with what I had. Goofing off with my finished project, we (Jay and I) saw that it looked cool two other ways also. My next project is to dig for that clasp, and do another necklace. | <urn:uuid:d68a5ad4-2ae3-4de6-beb4-750c4ca66101> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://laforestgump.blogspot.com/2011/04/idle-wednesday_13.html | 2017-06-28T17:23:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323721.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628171342-20170628191342-00637.warc.gz | en | 0.983117 | 137 | [

A Lupin Flowers for Everything Dinosaur
The spell of gorgeous weather at the end of September must have made the difference. In the early spring we planted out some Lupin plants that we had raised from seeds. The area behind the office is slowly and surely being turned into a more nature friendly area. We have lots of Sedems and even a second Buddleia bush to help attract bees and butterflies. The Lupins were planted out as we wanted to use the large leaves and stalks as backgrounds for some of our prehistoric animal model shots. The foliage works quite well for this particular job. However, we never thought that we would get a flower, especially after the less then glorious summer we had – weather wise.
Everything Dinosaur’s Lupin in Flower
Picture Credit: Everything Dinosaur
Naturally, we could not simply plant out the seeds, we divided our seeds into three groups, each group being put in a different area of the yard, one group experienced full sun virtually all day, the second group was placed in an area that had partial shade and the final group was planted in an area roughly between the other two. The Lupin that flowered came from the middle group. We had also sourced the seeds from two different sources, the seedlings had been labelled to help us identify which source the plant that emerged was from. We contacted the supplier to let them know that one of their plants had flowered in its first year for us. We will try and get some pictures done using the foliage as a backdrop, but in the meantime, we have a lovely flower that cheers us all up. | <urn:uuid:76a27766-2c7a-44f0-bba4-5c9f0e47ac2a> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://blog.everythingdinosaur.co.uk/blog/_archives/2011/10/1/4913721.html | 2017-06-29T12:18:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128323970.81/warc/CC-MAIN-20170629121355-20170629141355-00717.warc.gz | en | 0.987028 | 324 | [

E! to debut Holly Madison's 'Holly's World' reality series on June 13
By Christopher Rocchio, 05/24/2010
E! has announced Holly's World, a new The Girls Next Door spinoff following former Hugh Hefner girlfriend Holly Madison and her new life in Las Vegas, will premiere on Sunday, June 13 at 10:30PM ET/PT.
Holly's World will document various aspects of Madison's life -- including her starring role in Vegas' Peepshow stage show, traveling to Mexico for a calendar shoot, getting involved in local politics, and maintaining a busy social life.
"Audiences fell in love with Holly on E! and fans are eager to follow her next chapter," said network programming executive Lisa Berger. "The series will feature Holly and her family of friends as they take on new loves, careers and ambitions together."
Madison appeared in the first five seasons of E!'s The Girls Next Door -- along with Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson -- as one of Hefner's girlfriends.
Madison, Marquardt and Wilson all subsequently moved out of the Playboy mansion prior to The Girls Next Door'ssixth-season premiere last October.
E! ordered the eight-episode series in January and it is being produced by Prometheus Entertainment, Alta Loma Entertainment and Fox Television Studios with Kevin Burns -- who also produces The Girls Next Door as well as Wilkinson's Kendra spinoff -- serving as executive producer. | <urn:uuid:da1421cb-f741-40ae-87b6-d3fac5d95695> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/e!-debut-holly-madison-holly-world-reality-series-on-june-13-11171.php | 2017-06-24T02:07:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320209.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624013626-20170624033626-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.955309 | 303 | [

The Future of Optimist U18
- As copied from Posting on April 3, 2016 in Curling by Lisa Shamchuk
It was announced at the banquet last night that this will be the last year for
the Optimist U18 Curling Championship. The Optimist U18 Steering Committee has been working with Curling Canada for
many years to establish a U18 national championship. It has been agreed upon at the executive level, and will be
voted on by member associations at the AGM this summer, that Curling Canada will henceforth run a Canadian U18
Curling Championship. Upon approval, Curling Canada will take over organization of the event, which will become the
national level U18 championship for all Canadian Provinces and Territories. It is hopeful that a World U18 Curling
Championship will also be approved shortly.
The Optimist U18 Curling Championship has been a much loved event, and has not only been a fantastic time for
all the organizers and followers, but a truly awesome and memorable event for all the junior curlers who have
participated. Everyone is sad to see it go, but we are happy to have under 18 curlers recognized at an official
national level. We are all excited to continue to provide opportunities for junior curlers to develop and have fun
with the sport of curling!
- April 4, 2016 Sterring Committee
The Steering Committee had a vision sixteen years or more ago; that there needed to be an under-18 level (and
perhaps at least one more), for the development of our sport. That goal is imminent. Over the next few months, the
timing and format of a National should become evident.
The Steering Committee deeply appreciates the participation of our partners over the years; especially the
Optimist groups and Host Committees that have made these championships memorable. We also applaud all the
participants and followers. While this cessation closes a wonderfu capture for the U18 event; a new exciting
era begins.

This article was originally published on Thought Catalog on Feb 6, 2017.
When I was a kid, my grandpa used to tell me how lucky I was that my generation in the Western world has only ever known peace. Both World Wars had come and gone, countries had been rebuilt, the economy had recovered, and divisive thinking had been replaced with a newfound appreciation for the importance of sticking together, no matter your background or religion. I knew he was right, because when he was a young soldier fighting in the war, a piece of a ricocheting bullet got lodged just above his eyelid. You could still feel it there, which made him a total badass in my eyes.
But those untroubled times he was talking about now seem like a distant reverie. Britain no longer believes in the merits of the EU, Donald Trump is building walls – both metaphorically and physically – and, in the aftermath of terrorist attacks across the globe, countries are fortifying their borders. Utopian notions of togetherness have been brushed aside in favor of the classic, cracker-barrel concept of us vs. them.
“This is our country,” they cry. “That, over there, is your country. Go back to your country.”
As everyone scrambles to defend their land, their morals, and their religion, people have lost sight of the most basic of truths: each one of us is an amalgam, our DNA composed of countless molecules, each one only a sentence in the chronicle of who we are when we enter this world. Think of how many people came before you, had to exist so you might also one day. No one person is one thing; we only are because of others, as a result of a unique marriage of genetics, cultures, language, and butt load of serendipity.
I was born in Lebanon during the civil war in the 80s. I don’t know much about my biological parents, but I’ve been told money played a role in their decision to give me up for adoption. My parents, who were stationed in Beirut at the time, were looking to adopt a baby, and as the result of a million lucky coincidences, our paths should cross. I don’t know what my life would have looked like if they wouldn’t have stumbled across the hospital I happened to be born in; or if they had never met in college a few years earlier; or if they had never felt the urge to explore new countries together. What I do know is that things would have turned out very differently for me. Not because I did anything to make this happen, but because of happenstance. People tend to forget this.
The United States run on the credo of the “Self-made man”, from dishwasher to millionaire – it permeates every fiber of cultural consciousness. This idea that you can be whatever you want to be – an astronaut, a rapper, president – with just the right amount of elbow grease is the reigning mantra. You grew up in the ghetto? No matter. If you want it enough, you’ll eventually end up on Park Avenue with a vacation home in the Hamptons. It’s right there, waiting for you. All you have to do is reach out and grab it. What, you haven’t made it yet? You must be lacking the necessary stamina.
Some people believe in this tenet so strongly that they forget that no one gets to where they are without a generous helping of fortuitousness. Some of us undoubtedly work harder than others, some of us are more successful than others, and part of that success, indisputably, is rooted in blood, sweat and tears. But there’s this whole other part that people ignore because it doesn’t sound as sexy on the back cover of their autobiographies. I’m talking about the part made up of external factors: mentors who push us when we need it the most, timing, and – most importantly – dumb luck.
Because I was at the right place at the right time, I now get to enjoy a so-called “privileged Western life”. I work hard, sure, but I was afforded the opportunity to receive the education I needed to succeed, to be allowed to stumble and fall on my face, and to always have someone pick me back up, dust me off, and encourage me to try again.
Some people aren’t so lucky. Their lives are marked by war, or poverty, or any other number of obstacles, because the hand they were dealt just happens to suck. As we enter another undoubtedly turbulent year, let’s not let fear cloud our judgment; let’s resist the urge to label those who are different from us as weird, weak, or sinister. Let’s listen to people’s stories – really listen – instead of relying on mental shortcuts, such as race, religion or gender.
The term sonder refers to the realization that every passerby – the angry guy on the subway, the barista brewing your coffee, the girl who just smiled at you – is living a life just as complex and detailed as yours. Take a moment to let this realization wash over you. Smile back. | <urn:uuid:965b75a1-69c8-48ad-9d60-4a4eef637dc5> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://www.beforeyoukickit.com/blog/2017/2/8/942xsqrlax443u5xxn96t25406s6lo | 2017-06-24T01:40:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320209.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624013626-20170624033626-00437.warc.gz | en | 0.978252 | 1,093 | [

As an Albuquerque based community organizing project by and for women of color, Young Women United is proud of the leadership we have carried over the last decade to defeat attacks on reproductive healthcare. Our work in the Respect ABQ Women campaign has centered on the lived experiences of Latino/as and other communities of color as part of a long term vision of reproductive justice for all people.
Renowned workers’ rights activist, Latina leader, and native New Mexican, Dolores Huerta has taken to the airwaves to oppose the City of Albuquerque’s Nov. 19 ballot measure that, if passed, would criminalize abortion after 20 weeks in the city, and effectively, throughout New Mexico. Young Women United, a local Albuquerque leader in the Respect ABQ Women Campaign developed the ad with the support of Dolores Huerta to ensure Latina/o voters are engaged in the conversation and vote against the ballot measure on Nov. 19. Young Women United has welcomed the solidarity of national partners NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, and Advocates for Youth to maintain decisions about abortion in the hands of New Mexican women and families. | <urn:uuid:55ac881f-d718-42b7-9ff9-b0ee133bf496> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.youngwomenunited.org/dolores-huerta-has-taken-to-the-airwaves-to-oppose-the-city-of-albuquerques-nov-19-ballot-measure/ | 2017-06-24T20:36:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320338.89/warc/CC-MAIN-20170624203022-20170624223022-00517.warc.gz | en | 0.930816 | 297 | [

At first, serenity: Carmarthen Bay's gentle tide sliding against the beach and the distant hum of an 18.3-liter engine. The 12-cylinder's noise builds and builds as it approaches, steadily becoming a roar. Then, a deafening microsecond as the Blue Bird single-seat race car streaks past in 144-mph freeze-frame. Then, again: tranquil waves.
This is Pendine Sands, the sprawling beach in South Wales where Sir Malcolm Campbell set the world Land Speed Record in 1924. It's hallowed grounds for racers and was once considered Great Britain's best forum for speed. Now, 90 years after Campbell's airplane-powered Sunbeam 350 hp Blue Bird shocked the world, a group of hot rods is set to race across Pendine's storied beaches once again.
Pendine Sands began gaining acclaim from motorcyclists and soon got its own 100-mile TT race in 1922. Stars from the illustrious Isle of Man TT would come down to ride on the famously flat, hardened sand—better than any paved circuit in the region. And it wasn't just the surface that proved useful, either: Cars of the era needed several miles to gain (and scrub) speed for top-end runs. Luckily, Pendine Sands offered an astounding seven miles of picturesque straightaway.
The Land Speed Record has been broken twice in the last 42 years; it was broken 28 times between 1920 and 1939. The Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression were unprecedented periods of automotive advancement; the cutting edge could always be seen along Carmarthen Bay.
No two men pushed the limits more than Malcolm Campbell in Blue Bird and Leyland engineer John G. Parry-Thomas in Babs, his 27-liter V12 version of Zborowski's Chitty Bang Bang open-wheel racer. Campbell was a brilliant self-publicist, and he milked the story dry: What better than a duo of death-defying friendly rivals who, in the span of three years, collectively raised the top speed mark from 146.1 mph to 174.2 mph? As it turned out, no matter how much press you receive, eventuality waits for no one.
J. G. Parry-Thomas was doing roughly 170 mph when he tank-slapped, rolled, and burned in a horrific wreck along the coastline. Parry-Thomas was laid to rest near the Brooklands circuit in Surrey, and Babs was ceremoniously buried in Pendine's dunes. | <urn:uuid:9bff7037-97b9-4af6-8363-1456c3577262> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://www.roadandtrack.com/new-cars/news/a6483/malcolm-campbell-flathead-fords-and-the-rebirth-of-pendine-sands/ | 2017-06-25T16:20:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320539.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20170625152316-20170625172316-00597.warc.gz | en | 0.954715 | 515 | [

NOTES: Neotropical Institute Cut #22. Bulk reel #492
Song type 1 = SO-SOO-la; 2 = SO-SO-LA; 3 = SO-LAA.
a) Two birds: one in type 1, other is +/- a type 1-2. Quality: 2. Level: +2. 139 tape. Std.
b) 6:05 PM. Weather: Cloudy, fair. This is probably the same bird as cut 21. In the beginning its phrase is modulated in the second figure, becoming almost as type 2. But then it becomes type 3, like the other bird and I think they're probably the same. Quality: 2, 1-. Level: 0. 139 tape. Std.
This actually recorded ~200 m. below (along road) where recorded 19 April; this bird's territory apparently extended 300-400 m. along the road.
Then one phrase @ 7.5. Quality: 1-. Level: +2. Std.
This is in the same location as Cut 21. The type 3 bird of that cut was on the downhill side of the road, and it was also there today but reacted only fitfully to whistled imitation (in the beginning it came in but then left; again when the two birds of Cut 22 + my imitations apparently proved "too much," he came in again, but again left.
I had heard one of the birds of this cut (I think it was the type 1-2 bird) way up the slope from the road (both these birds were on the uphill side) and whistled type 1. It gradually came closer, but so did the other bird, which I had not heard before. Apparently these birds eventually came into contact; I heard some scuffling, which I presume was caused by these birds and shortly after one of them was heard rather far away, the other still +/- in the area. After they became silent, I could not call any of the birds in close to me again. None of the birds seem to react strongly to territory today.
Further note re: Cut 22) - Singing by the Soisolas was general today:; profuse song from dawn to at least 8:30 - 9:00 AM; periods ofo song throughout the day; profuse song again from late PM (4-5:00 PM) to nightfall.
10 Apr 1973 - I was at ame site as cuts 21 & 22 by 5:30 AM. I heard absolutely no Soisola song anywhere in the entire Turiamo road region up to 8:30 AM; then heard a little bit distantly. This increased and by 8:50 could hear > four birds singing +/- regularly. However, by 9:00 to 9:10 they had stopped singing.
At ~ 10:00 I played type 1 song that had been recorded in the Turiamo region several years ago. This was played for quite some time but there was no reaction. At 10:30 AM I tried again, for a long time pointed in direction of the Cut 22a) birds, then in the direction of the 22b) bird: no reaction. Heard no more Soisola song after 9:10 AM up to ~12:00 M when I left. Is this because all males are incubating now? More likely it's because of the renewed drought, for all bird activity is considerably depressed and there aren't even any mosquitoes. | <urn:uuid:3c4dc594-ab30-4d61-8da2-a7c3211f5416> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/70926/crypturellus-erythropus-red-legged-tinamou-venezuela-aragua-paul-schwartz | 2017-06-26T11:44:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320707.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626101322-20170626121322-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.974977 | 773 | [

You know summer is just around the corner when the first big studio blockbuster opens. This past weekend moviegoers flooded into theaters for the latest Marvel comic- turned-movie, “Iron Man 2,” and were treated to a film that did something most sequels don’t do – lived up to its hype.
“Iron Man 2” picks up six months after the first movie ended. Weapons manufacturer Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) has revealed his superhero alter-ego to the world and appears to be relishing all the attention. Privately though, Tony is slowly being poisoned by the palladium in the arc reactor which powers him and his suit. This is ironically what saved his life in the first film.
After a U.S. Senate committee tries to take away the Iron Man suit for national security purposes, Tony’s thrill-seeking tendencies spiral out of control. He promotes his assistant, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow), to be the new CEO of Stark Industries. This leaves him more time to concentrate on the important things, like drinking, partying and his new assistant, Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson).
That is until Tony has a small run-in with angry Russian physicist Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) who, like Tony, has his own arc reactor. He also has a grudge against the Stark family, and is being funded by competing weapons manufacturer Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). With some words of encouragement from Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), Tony comes out of his self-destructive funk, works on finding a way to stop Vanko, and save himself and the rest of the world.
Comic book adaptations, as a movie genre, are kind of hit-or-miss. For every “Dark Knight,” there is an “Elektra.” What makes or breaks it is the casting of the hero. Robert Downey, Jr. is Tony Stark – he just is. No other actor can make an arrogant, narcissistic, pompous prick like Tony Stark as likable and entertaining as Downey. He has a tough-guy bravado mixed with a quick sarcastic wit that makes him one of the most enjoyable superheroes in theaters today.
Downey can make any movie great. But what is a superhero without a super villain? Rourke’s Ivan Vanko (aka Whiplash) is dark and menacing and a perfect counterpart. Whiplash has very little dialog in the film, and what he does say is usually in Russian, but Rourke does a lot to give him depth and a sense of humor.
Along with exceptional casting, what also sets “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2” apart is the direction of Jon Favreau (who also appears in the films). Some superhero movies tend to take themselves too seriously. Favreau does an excellent job of balancing the humor with the action. The movie has some genuinely funny laugh-out-loud moments. There is a playfulness to these movies that makes them more fun and engaging.
As good as the movie is, it’s not without its (minor) faults. First, there are one too many storylines. Between evil Russian physicists, rival weapons manufacturers, palladium poisoning and U.S. Senators trying to take the Iron Man technology, the plot gets a bit muddled. As awesome as Samuel L. Jackson is, the entire Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. sub-plot seemed thrown in as just a big set-up for future “Iron Man” sequels and the upcoming “Avengers” movie (look for it summer 2012). Plus, I don’t care how super hot Scarlett Johansson looks with dark red hair in a skin-tight leather suit; it cannot distract from the fact that the girl can’t act.
Was “Iron Man 2” as good as the first one? No. But as far as sequels go, it was pretty great and is definitely worth your time and money. Pay close attention and spot cameos by DJ AM and superhero uber creator Stan Lee as themselves. And be sure to stay until the end of the credits for a teaser scene introducing a certain Norse-god-turned-superhero who should be hammering his way into theaters next summer. | <urn:uuid:5c8e9607-ff1d-499c-abc7-06374ad1d361> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://imamovienerd.wordpress.com/2010/07/27/downey-is-marvel-ous/ | 2017-06-26T10:36:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128320707.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20170626101322-20170626121322-00677.warc.gz | en | 0.962264 | 908 | [

Dear Mr Johnson
I’m writing this year in advance of the Chanukah in the Square event in a personal capacity. I would like to know if it is mayoral policy for public occasions to endorse direct and indirect discrimination of women in events supported by the Mayor of London?
It would seem that the use of the Mayor’s budget to support an event like Chanukah in the Square at which, judging by the publicity, no women will speak publicly in a religious capacity and under the mistaken sense of it being representative of the Jewish community, which it is not, might be construed as a misuse of public funds. The only way I can see you counteracting this possibility would be to insist that a woman rabbi and woman leader of the Jewish community speak at the event. Otherwise, it seems to me that you are condoning the removal of women from public Jewish life and discrimination on the grounds of gender. Chabad is no more authentic an expression of Jewish life than the Movement for Reform Judaism and Liberal Judaism and in both Liberal and Reform synagogues there are many women rabbis and communal leaders who could be involved.
I realise that this is an event that you are undertaking alongside the London Jewish Forum and the Jewish Leadership Council and that you may be unwilling to leverage a change in the heady Jewish politics that leads to Chabad controlling this occasion. However, since the publicity has the Mayor of London’s logo appearing on it, I would have thought that you might be able to insist, at least, that women play an active role – both as communal leaders and religious figures. I do not think it would be too extreme a step to indicate your unwillingness to continue to support the event without an end to discrimination. The publicity and full line-up has not yet been released so it would not be too late to make this insistence. I would gladly find a photo opportunity in a London synagogue (that embraces equality) of the Mayor of London lighting a Chanukiah if it is your desire to demonstrate your commitment to London’s multi-faith life!
Last year when I attended, and I should add brought with several others from my community to enjoy the occasion, I was utterly dismayed and disillusioned by the lack of leadership which had led the stage to be dominated by men and that you, as a non-Jew, could participate in the lighting of the candles but a woman, let alone a woman rabbi, was not heard in the proceedings and did not have any religious input.
I would be grateful for your attention to this matter at an event which I presume is partly funded and supported by the Mayoral budget and which I consider to be a reflection of London’s great cosmopolitan nature – yet the event remains in control of a sect of Jews who do not represent me. It is therefore, as far as I am concerned, equivalent to the Christmas lights on Oxford Street or Chinese New Year celebrations – both of which I enjoy but neither of which has any bearing on my religious sensibilities.
For your information, I have written about this here: http://wp.me/p1B8IT-aJ
With very best wishes and kind regards

Zee launches soap for British Asian audiences
London: Zee Network`s UK-based lifestyle channel Zing is all set to launch Britain`s first locally produced soap for British Asian audiences.
`Cloud 9`, featuring a mix of British Asian, English and Indian characters, is being touted as the first-ever daily soap series to be produced in the UK specifically catering to the country`s South Asian audiences.
The drama revolves around the residents of a special British town called `Cloud 9` highlighting British Asian values of family life and striking a balance between tradition and modernity.
"This is my first daily TV series and it really is an amazing experience. It is a very intense schedule but I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity. I thoroughly enjoy being on set, working with such a talented team," London-based actor Valmike Rampersad, who plays the lead role of Ajay, told PTI.
Zing claims `Cloud 9` will help chip away at stereotypical perceptions regarding the UK`s largest ethnic group and showcase South Asian lifestyle, drawing on themes relevant to their way of life.
Archana Kanade, Zing business head, said, "The future of British Asian TV is here. With `Cloud 9`, Zing is taking Asian entertainment in the UK to the next level. `Cloud 9` is the product of extensive research and background work enabling us to tailor the soap to the taste of the Brit-Asian psyche, presenting their world to them on the small screen for the first time.
"This soap comes at a time when the Asian population is growing rapidly and is the largest ethnic population in the UK. Numbers have gone up phenomenally since the last census and it is this audience that `Cloud 9` will cater to."
`Cloud 9` goes on air from today and will occupy the weekday prime-time television slot of 6.30 pm GMT.
Zing focuses on Bollywood hits and classics and British Asian music as part of the Zee Network`s other entertainment offerings. | <urn:uuid:3b41476a-41f3-4501-a334-782472c5a9d1> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | http://zeenews.india.com/entertainment/idiotbox/zee-launches-soap-for-british-asian-audiences_125829.html | 2017-06-27T07:08:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128321025.86/warc/CC-MAIN-20170627064714-20170627084714-00037.warc.gz | en | 0.936512 | 416 | [

The Spice Girls exercise the Five Date Rule and safe sex. Pretty sure. Don’t pretend you don’t love this song. I know you sing it in the shower before all fifth dates.
I have a girlfriend (now married) who cheerfully drilled her dating life down to a science. She once went on 24 first dates between April and August. She met guys at Home Depot, at cocktail parties, at the dog park. She knew what she was doing. She had a first date outfit that consisted of skinny jeans, leopard print low-heeled pumps (she’s even taller than me, and I’m 5’10”), and a cream silk blouse. How she managed to wear this throughout summer I will never understand.
She had a set of rules she followed that seemed to work for her, and, at least from what I could tell, things backfired when she didn’t follow her own rules. For example, she once slept with a guy on the first date, but it wasn’t really a date, because he was a visiting friend she’d known for years. Backfired. One of her rules was the package check on date 2, something I’d never have the guts to do. During the good night kiss (assume you’re standing up at your door or something), she’d brush her hand across the guy’s package. Or maybe she cupped it or something. I’m not sure, and I could never do this because I’d assume the guy thought I was easy. But she made it work, and disqualified one extremely tall but weirdly disproportionate guy because of it. Success!
I’m always scared of guys thinking I just want to have sex, and soon, so I could never pull off the package check. The problem is, I do want to have sex, and soon, and early dating for me is a constant struggle to hold this urge back. A guy who kisses even moderately well will send me into the lost in desire neighborhood of my… brain. So, before that “2 Become 1” night, I’m just kind of awkward and cold in my effort to keep the guy liking me without revealing that I’m kind of slutty.
My friend with the package check also exercised the five date rule. “If a guy can’t wait five dates to have sex with me, he doesn’t really like me.” This seems like a patent truth. Five dates can happen over like, two or three weeks for people who really want to hang out – which isn’t much time to get to know someone when you think of it. My problem was always, if I really liked someone, I was struggling just to keep the three date rule that I followed as closely as possible in my twenties.
There are guys… like, one I call the “Brazilian Art Director Date Rapist”, who you give it up to on the second date because you realize they are jerks who aren’t going to be your boyfriend and you’ve never done it with a Brazilian. Backfired and led to an eight month boning hiatus (Note: “never did it with a Brazilian” not a great reason to have sex with a guy who you will later refer to as “rapist”). There are really nice unavailable/inappropriate guys who’re never going to be your boyfriend because they’re not boyfriend material but they’re sooooo hot. You don’t wait around for some other slut to snatch them up! And then there is the guy (like, once every five years?) who you really like and kissing him is like seeing your future so you have to wait… you have to… but what if it’s really bad? So you better not wait more than three dates just in case. Which relates back to my friend’s package check if you know what I mean.
So, in my extended single thirties dating career, I’ve really worked on adopting the five date rule (except for the really hot guys that are clearly not future husbands – they have the golden ticket). And, it works. For one thing, I think I’ve dated guys that disappeared when they realized they weren’t getting the second date rule. And, they didn’t qualify for my second date rule (compartmentalized into fun casual boyfriend category), so who needs them if they can’t wait for five? Then again, it’s extremely difficult to be flirtatious and not implement the three date rule, and that’s something I’m working on, keeping the five date rule without seeming like a not before marriage rule. “I gotta go” for no reason right in the middle of something works, and is mysterious.
I had little practice implementing the five date rule until recently, because I had a lot of one dates with guys I didn’t exercise any rules on, and a lot of dates with super hot guys who are clearly not my future husband, baby daddy, or potential gardening/traveling partner. But, I’ve already benefited from the five date rule, and now I know I can do it. Because the five date rule prevented ME from sleeping with someone I ended up not liking. And not having slept with him has been the best feeling.
I could get into the details of liking and not liking this guy, brunch and too many drinks and stinky feet and things like that, but really, gossip is so useless. That guy was disco-ed, and I had the lucky feeling of not looking back on gross sex with him, or, even worse, good sex with someone gross. That’s so disheartening.
I’ve realized recently through actually implementing the five date rule, that something so beautiful can come out of it. No, I’m not talking about a boyfriend, cheeseballs. I mean, yeah, you’re right, that potential is there, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
I’m talking about the fact that if you keep a five date guy around long enough to sleep with him, and he passes the test – he suddenly becomes a one or two date guy. Meaning: you can’t stop thinking about him, he’s irresistibly hot, and you’re not even sure he’s potential husband material anymore because he’s so fucking sexy. In effect, you are crushed. And you’re crushed on a guy that took you out five times in earnest before you ever slept with him.
And that’s the only kind of guy I’d ever consider for a boyfriend anymore. | <urn:uuid:67aa306c-aded-4ca8-a48f-c77071685a32> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://interstalking.com/2014/09/ | 2017-06-28T02:04:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322275.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628014207-20170628034207-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.971592 | 1,430 | [

Gospel: Mt 28.16-20. Jesus says all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him and He gives the Great Commission to His disciples sending them out to make disciples of people of all nations. As Jesus came to inaugurate the kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven, so when He ascends to the Father as King of His creation, He sends His disciples to implement this kingdom by means of the power of the Holy Spirit. In order to accomplish this challenging task, they (we) need to become the image-bearers of their God as revealed to them by Jesus the Messiah. This means that they must be transformed. How does that happen?
The following remarks are based on After You Believe: Why Christian Character Matters by N.T.Wright, a book to which we are going to be referring throughout Pentecost. Thursday, January 15, 2009 was a beautiful cold day in New York City when at 15:26 local time flight 1549 of U.S. Airways took off from La Guardia Airport bound for Charlotte, N.C. with Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger III at the controls of the Airbus A320. Everything was routine until two minutes after take-off the plane ran into a flock of Canada geese. Suddenly both engines lost power. Sully and his co-pilot had to make a series of instant decisions: to select the Hudson river as a landing site, to turn to the proper heading, shut sown the engines, activate a “ditch system,” and maintain the proper attitude of the plane with the wings perfectly level. And they were successful. No one was hurt. In accomplishing this feat, Sully was demonstrating a group of skills and habits acquired over many years that we could call virtues. Virtue is what happens when wise and courageous choices have become “second nature.” None of the skills was innate; each had been acquired by disciplined training. The four classical virtues–courage, discipline (temperance), cool judgment (prudence), and the determination to do the right thing for others (justice)–were defined by Aristotle in the fourth century before Christ. Learning to navigate the world wisely and to become complete and mature human beings is the challenge we all face. This is what is meant by “character” and it means to become truly human. It is what we are “here for”–to realize our potentials as humans, to reflect God’s image through worship and in mission by “following Jesus.” It is the result of a transformation of our fallen nature by our disciplined effort empowered by the Holy Spirit. Through habits acquired by practice we possess virtues which in the aggregate reflect character. Character manifests itself especially at times of crisis and challenge. Manifesting the Christian virtues includes many that are different from those of pagan culture–as well as many of the same (including Aristotle’s). But the aggregate of them all is found throughout the behavior and relationships of the complete and mature Christian. Prolonged testing by many challenges and much help from the Holy Spirit result in Christian character. The Protestant doctrine of justification by grace through faith rather than works may deceive us into believing that we should not have to work at acquiring virtues and character. But the discipline we are talking about here is not “to earn our way to heaven” but to become the kind of people that are pleasing to the Lord. This is the process of sanctification which follows justification and which requires both our effort and the Lord’s.
Memory Verse: Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God (Rm 12.2). | <urn:uuid:3d609092-b484-4c27-bff9-fa5059e1c450> | CC-MAIN-2017-26 | https://stclementsreflections.wordpress.com/2017/06/06/reflections-for-the-week-of-sunday-june-11-2017-first-after-pentecost-trinity-sunday/ | 2017-06-28T02:01:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-26/segments/1498128322275.28/warc/CC-MAIN-20170628014207-20170628034207-00117.warc.gz | en | 0.973103 | 782 | [

Diabetes among Indian Americans
- Asian Indians in the US have the highest risk for diabetes that develops at a younger age and at lower body mass index (BMI).1 Compared with whites, Asian Indians have three times the risk of diabetes, when adjusted for age, sex, and BMI and the risk is substantially higher than all minorities in the US (Figure 011).2-5
- The higher prevalence of diabetes reported among Asian Americans is primarily due to the very high risk among Asian Indians and to a less extent than Filipinos, both of whom have more unfavorable distribution of fat with higher visceral fat depot.3, 6, 7
- The CADI Study, done in the 90’s showed a diabetes prevalence of 8% among Asian Indians in the US.8 Recent studies have showed a dramatic increase in the prevalence of diabetes 17% to 26% over the past 20 years.4, 5, 8-12 Another 33% to 37% of Asian Indians have prediabetes.5, 10 Nearly half of the diabetes among Asian Indians remain undiagnosed.12
- In the MASALA Study the crude prevalence of diabetes among Asian Indians in California was 29% and prediabetes 37% which became 26% and 25% respectively when adjusted for the age (Table 103A).10 In this well-designed study, the prevalence of diabetes among Asian Indians was 400% higher than whites, 200% higher than Chinese, and 50% higher than blacks and Hispanics.10
- Asian Indians in the US enjoy a higher socioeconomic status (SES) than whites, which is a protective factor for diabetes in western societies. Ironically, adjusting for SES actually exaggerated the prevalence of diabetes among Asian Indians.10
- Asian Indians however, have the highest odds being physically inactive ─a well known risk factor for diabetes.13 But the diabetes risk is 300% higher even after adjusting for physical inactivity.2
- The diabetes prevalence rate in MASALA is higher than all other studies reported to-date but probably more accurate given the very robust protocol used.10 The prevalence may be an underestimate since those with known cardiovascular disease (CVD) were excluded.14 The rates are also higher than those reported from urban India where the rates range from 14% to 19%.15-17

|Diabetes plus prediabetes (dysglycemia)||51%||47%||32%||47%||49%|
- The prevalence of diabetes increases dramatically with age and BMI among Asian Indians. The prevalence increases from 6-7% among those with the normal weight, to 19-33% among the obese.3
- During the past decade, BMI has increased among all Americans, but age- and sex-adjusted BMI remained consistently lower in Asian Americans than whites. Yet, compared with their white counterparts, Asian Americans have a significantly (30-50%) higher risk for diabetes with Asian Indians having the highest followed by Filipinos, other Asians, and Chinese.2
- The prevalence increases nearly 8-fold between those <30 years of age and those >60 years of age.3
- South Asians in New York City were five times more likely to have diabetes and six times more likely to have metabolic syndrome. These rates are as high as or higher than that observed in Europe.9
- A novel finding was that strong traditional Indian beliefs and practices, including arranged marriages and high glycemic loads, were important predictors of prediabetes and diabetes. 10
- Visceral adiposity as measured by waist circumference is most closely associated with prediabetes and diabetes than overall adiposity measured with BMI or total body fat from whole body DEXA.10 This is a critical clinical finding because clinicians who focus on body weight to guide their screening practices or lifestyle recommendations will miss patients if they do not use a measurement of visceral adiposity, in their clinical encounters.10
- Asian Indians in the US also have the highest rates of gestational diabetes (11%) than whites (4%).18
- The major determinants of prediabetes and diabetes among Indians included high blood pressure, fatty liver, abdominal obesity (visceral adiposity), microalbuminuria, higher levels of subclinical (carotid) atherosclerosis.10 Microalbuminuria is a very strong risk factor conferring a 5-fold risk.10
Asian Indians had the highest ethnic-specific self-reported diabetes prevalence which increased from 6% to 7% among the normal weight, to 19% to 33% among the obese (NHIS data).19

“5 Ways to Spot a Fake”
[Via Eric Saar]
Sometimes a digital photo just looks like it’s been doctored. You can see some fringe around the edges of an inserted object. The colors don’t match. Or it’s just an impossible shot.
Manipulated photos are everywhere. We’re used to it. But sometimes it’s just distracting how bad they can be. If you pay attention to some of these tell-tale signs in your work, you can take your work that much further down the road towards believability.

I’ll be taking advantage of our glorious Spring weather and heading over to the Fourways Farmer’s Market this weekend. Here are my five fab reasons to go:
1. It’s a great Sunday morning outing for the whole family – and it’s outdoors in a pretty location. You can’t ask for much more in Jozi.
2. It’s a way for your kids to experience fresh produce sold by local suppliers and help choose the fruit, veggies and food products they will eat later. If your kids, like mine, are fussy eaters, this is a great introduction to new food.
3. The Sand Art stand is tons of fun for littlies – and the team who man the stall will watch your kids while you browse in peace.
4. You’ll be supporting independent local producers – and finding some amazing new products along the way.
5. It’s FUN. It’s absolutely the antithesis of the mall, you can chat to the producers and suppliers, pick up some delish ingredients and ready-prepared food and then have a picnic on the hay bales under the trees while your kids play in the playground.

We all have so many things that have to be plugged in that remembering to charge a watch is extra drudgery. Casio has been working their lab-boys overtime on this along with other new tech issues lately and we are starting to see the result of their latest groundbreaking efforts. Also, they’ve been collaborating with developers to get there faster – (according to ABTW) Sony was a co-conspirator on some of the tech in this new watch – this blogger applauds Casio for their vision and direction. Yea, it’s a GPS watch – whoopee – but the real news is it is a GPS watch that does not have to be plugged in and recharged.
How does it do this?
Well, the GPW-1000 watches use, in a single module, new ultra-small motor technology for the movement which drives the hands, it’s ceramic circular polarized GPS antenna and a new low-power consumption, high-performance GPS LSI leaving room for all it’s other goodies, (here comes the magic..) solar collection panel, battery, and even the padding and extra durable (fine resin reinforced)Triple G Resist construction – it does, under all that plastic, have a stainless steel case.
In Japan, the GPW-1000 products will be in the “Sky Cockpit” line. The USA iterations will be “Aviation Series” and perhaps a little less expensive. This blog is not recommending the purchase of these models (while, of course, not not recommending them either). The technology will show up all over the place in the more exoteric Casio lines and these first wave units are not indicated as limited or special editions. In fact, it is anticipated that Casio will figure out a way to stuff all their tech into the next generation of products and will likely make better use of the GPS capabilities.
(Sidebar: Casio can’t sell Atomic watches into African and South American markets – the signal doesn’t make it that far. I’d love to know how well this thousand dollar watch sells in the jungle and desert villages)
What this watch is not..
Actually, for the wearer, it is not a GPS watch. It uses the GPS tech inside to continuously reset the time, but there is no read-out to let the user know where he is. That means that it is not a sports watch outside of it’s simple inclusion of a stop-watch and countdown timer. While it can put up with almost any abuse you can pile on it (it being officially a Triple G Resist) it can’t tell you about your laps, your heart rate, or your calories burned. It can’t be plugged into your computer to log and analyse your bike-hikes and if you get lost, ..well, you are on your own.
It does not have a compass, temperature indicator, barometer, altimeter or any of that new stuff that is showing up all over the Casio catalog. It does have the “Smart Access” crown which helps reduce the multi-button confusion that other G-Shocks styme us with.
Again, this is not a GPS watch – that is, not completely. It receives but it does not send. So you can’t track it back to the bar that you left it in. You can’t strap it onto your kid at Disney World and use an app on your iPhone to find him lost in the tunnels of Pirates of the Caribbean. This timepiece knows where it is in the world, but unless it is on your wrist or on your dresser, you won’t.
It ain’t cheap..
For the $1,000 you invest, you are getting a self-powering, very impressive looking (but, plastic, nonetheless) timekeeping watch that is insanely accurate (and corrected to where ever you are). It sports a sapphire lens and super-tough carbon fibre-resin laminated band. And you will never have to set the time, wind it, or change a battery – short of taking a sledgehammer to it, you will never have to fix it. Wash it if it gets dirty, but don’t worry about dropping it off to your friendly neighborhood watchmaker for a yearly tune-up like your Rolex – it just won’t ever need it.
Below, find a couple glam videos by Casio that actually shows some of the components of this model.
Final note: If you think Casio is getting into the game of GPS a little late, consider the model pictured below – released in 1999 (yea, 15 years ago), this Protrek was a pioneer.
ProTrek PRT-1 – the read-out gave the location co-ordinates and the ungainly hardware went up your arm a bit.

‘Boos, leg drops,’ rare appearances at 2013 Billboard Music Awards
The MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada was home to the 2013 Billboard Music Awards, which aside from its television airing, was also shown on YouTube. Much of the highlights and memorable moments were the unexpected ones, mishaps, and rare appearances. Here are some of them:
Justin Bieber’s bittersweet moment
Justin Bieber became the first recipient of the “Milestone Award” beating out Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars in that category. Justin Bieber has been raking in numerous awards over the last few years but this one seemed more significant and meaningful than the rest.
At 19 years old, Bieber certainly has become one of the greatest teen stars of all time. That is why I believe he was the proper recipient of such a coveted award from the Billboard Music Awards. To date, he has already five Number 1 albums to his name and that is hard to beat.
As soon as he approached the platform and was handed the award, you could hear the rising swell of boos drowning out the cheers and applause, before he could even get a word out and give his acceptance speech.
It wasn’t the kind of crowd reaction you would expect for one of the hottest artists of today. But the manner by which Justin Bieber handled it showed some measure of maturity and his own resolve to not let things faze him. When he was finally able to give his acceptance speech, there was one line that stuck out and revealed a more emotional side of Justin Bieber: “I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously, and all this other bulls*** should not be spoken of.”
I couldn’t agree more with that statement. I think he gets a lot of undeserved flak just for being who he is.
Instead of that night being a special time in this young man’s life, it became a bittersweet moment for him.
Miguel’s “leg drop of doom”
Miguel’s performance of his hit “Adorn” was going smooth until he decided to take a jump from the stage to a platform. But instead of landing on the platform feet first, he accidentally “leg dropped” a fan across her face and could have broken her neck.
The R&B artist admittedly got caught up in the moment. But after his performance, he went to see the said fan backstage who was bruised up but amazingly still in good spirits.
The video clip of Miguel’s “leg drop” became an instant viral hit and trended on Twitter. It has been dubbed the “Leg Drop of Doom.”
Lucky for Miguel, the fan still adores him and he miraculously escaped a lawsuit here. Maybe next time, he should look first before deciding to take a leap of faith.
Madonna’s new landmark achievement
The one and only Madonna, the “Material Girl” and Pop-icon, was awarded the Top Touring Artist Award for her worldwide successful “MDNA” tour covering over 88 sold-out global shows and grossed $305 million.
Before she could be recognized for this astonishing feat and a new landmark achieved in her stellar career, the people in attendance at the MGM Grand Arena were given a montage video of highlights from the concluded ‘MDNA’ 2012 tour. As she approached the podium to give her acceptance speech, all eyes and ears were glued intently on her.
Madonna did make a few striking statements, such as: “It took longer to negotiate whether I could show my a** in that trailer than it took to rehearse for the entire ‘MDNA’ 2012 tour.” Her notorious frankness and racy remarks have made Madonna (in)famous over the decades. It is her personality and not a put on.
Madonna who is a mother of four and is 54 years old, looks like she could have another run. The Pop icon indeed has her place in music history firmly secured.
And let’s not forget what she had on. Madonna wore a see-through fishnet mini-dress displaying her thigh-high stockings and garter belt, which was voted the most outrageous outfit of the night. Her latest fashion effort matched her “vintage” Madonna attitude and is one of the few artists of today that can pull off such an outfit without looking out of place.

Californians continued to save water in April despite the easing of the drought, reducing use by about 26 percent compared to 2013, the State Water Resources Control Board said Monday.
The reductions came before the recent roll back of harsh mandatory conservation targets. They also came during a relatively dry April. Sacramento received about 1.5 inches of rain during that month. Los Angeles saw about 0.3 inches.
Water savings ranged from 23 percent along the south coast to about 33 percent in the San Joaquin valley, state data show. Water districts in the Sacramento River watershed cut use by 31 percent.
Starting this month, water agencies across the state will propose their own water conservation targets based on their ability to withstand another three dry years. Regional water officials say most Sacramento-area water districts will not have mandatory targets because their water supplies are healthy.
“Californians continue to demonstrate that they are serious about water conservation, which is fabulous,” said State Water Board Chair Felicia Marcus in a statement. “We will be watching closely to make sure that water agencies continue to prioritize the conservation habits their customers have adopted.” | <urn:uuid:9ed2d32c-9c76-4c71-822c-5ca6603e91ca> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/water-and-drought/article82101472.html | 2018-06-18T22:44:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267861456.51/warc/CC-MAIN-20180618222556-20180619002556-00076.warc.gz | en | 0.960824 | 231 | [

Woodstock, Vermont. Photographs of Americana
We took a day last week on our trip to Hanover, New Hampshire to head across the Connecticut River into Vermont and visit the little town of Woodstock (not the one in New York with the concert). It's a beautiful little town that simply reeks with Americana, and is filled with 19th century buildings that are well kept and gorgeous. We visited on a Wednesday and caught the weekly farmer's market going on in the town green.

The storage battery
The storage battery is the centre of onboard electrosystem Audi 80. Various consumers of a food use a stock of its energy, and the storage battery from the generator is charged.
The electrode (lead plate) contacts to the dissolved sulfuric acid (electrolit) and gives under the influence of a solution positive ions, that is электрически charged частцы, to electrolit. Thereby between electrolit and a lead plate electric pressure is created.
However the pressure created as a result of "voluntary" transition of charged particles, not enough, and on the accumulator submit зарядное pressure. As a result of it sulphate of lead of the discharged accumulator room of the battery turns on a positive electrode in диоксид lead, and on negative – to spongy lead. Simultaneously in electrolit sulfuric acid, an external sign of almost complete process of gymnastics – occurrence of vials of gas is again formed.
At an accumulator discharge there is a return process. Диоксид lead of a positive plate and spongy lead negative again turn to lead sulphate, and sulfuric acid is spent, and water is formed. Therefore with a discharge of the storage battery the acid density decreases.
Designation of the storage battery
In models Audi 80 with 4 and 5-cylinder engines the storage battery is located behind on the right in a motor compartment. In models with the 6-cylinder engine: the accumulator is located at the left ahead in a motor compartment. On installation sites it is protected by a cover.
Parametres of the storage battery
Pressure and capacity: in a designation 12 В/40 Aч the first (12), of course, specifies pressure. Behind inclined line the current strength which the accumulator is capable to give for a time unit is resulted – Aч means ampere-hours. It is the nominal capacity of the battery measured according to standard conditions. In practice it is necessary to count only on 2/3 specified ampere-hours; at older accumulator only on half.

Female Lawmakers Shape Health Care With Their Own StoriesCQ Politics reports that Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy, D-Ohio, is one of several women lawmakers who is using her own history with multiple sclerosis to lobby for changes in the health care system: "As the health care debate rages on, [Kilroy] has decided to use her personal story to help fellow lawmakers understand how important it is to make health care available for all Americans. In a 'Dear Colleague' letter she sent last week, Kilroy told them about her own diagnosis."
Kilroy is "not the only member to see her own illness as a way to advance an agenda. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz , D-Fla., created a stir earlier this year when she announced she had been undergoing treatment for breast cancer." She introduced legislation to increase awareness of the benefits of early detection. "Though she has been less vocal on the issue of health insurance coverage, she agrees with Kilroy that fighting a serious disease - at the same time that a patient is fighting for insurance coverage - is too difficult. Both Democrats support the public insurance option" (Miller, 10/12)". This is part of the KHN Morning Briefing, a summary of health policy coverage from major news organizations.

What did I think of this book? Well, brace yourselves, Twilight fans. I was sorely disappointed! The whole climax fell with a big, fat "FLOP!" What the heck? As a matter of fact, there was no climax!! Stephanie Meyer is a great writer, but I felt like she rushed the ending and didn't give it the right and proper resolution. She puffed it up like a balloon about to pop, and then, "THHhhbbbbbsssss . . . ." It deflated! No big boom, no pizzaz, no nothin'!! What kind of ending was that??? I felt like I had wasted my money when I finished.
There were too many other conflicts that she set up and never smoothed out. What happened with Leah? And Jacob's pack? And did Jacob go back to school? Did anybody else feel cheated that Jane got to walk away?
I felt like there were so many cliches all over the place, but there's no need to go into that!!!
The mushy romance (which was really just infatuation) was getting really old to me. Eventually you get a brain again, and then you find out what real love is! Which doesn't involve panting over good looks and being ready to faint all the time! I love my romance as much as anybody else, but this is just pish-posh!
And why, oh why did she have Jacob imprint on Renesme???? I think that Jacob and Leah should have been together. That would have been perfect.
I also think that Stephnie Meyer must be Masochistic. She seems to be turned on by violence. Weird.
And last of all, I wish that Bella would have learned to be happy with herself as a human before she became a vampire. That would have been better, and healthier for her!
Okay, all done. No more bashing on a book that I still enjoyed reading, despite all of my criticisms. So, hopefully nobody is too upset (Celeste? That means you!) This is just my opinion, after all! | <urn:uuid:f3e2c0eb-c716-48b6-ba48-8444c0c95253> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://candccfamily.blogspot.com/2008/08/breaking-dawn.html | 2018-06-21T21:37:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.990263 | 434 | [

FIRST DEGREE MURDER – CASE DISMISSED
The Defendant was charged with First Degree Murder. In the State of Illinois the Defendant was facing the prospect of spending the rest of his life behind bars. In that case the Defendant was allegedly the driver of a vehicle used in a drive by shooting. Witnesses identified the vehicle used in the shooting as one being similar to that of the Defendants. Chicago Police Detectives arrested the Defendant based on the similar vehicles and while in Chicago Police custody the Defendant confessed to his role in the shooting. If found guilty the Defendant would have a minimum of twenty years in prison.
The Defendant hired Chicago Criminal Lawyer Michael P. Schmiege to represent him. After reviewing the evidence and speaking with the Defendant Mr. Schmiege realized that the Defendants statement was taken illegally and was coerced. Therefore, Mr. Schmiege filed a Motion to Quash Arrest and Suppress Evidence and Motion to Suppress Statements. There was an evidentiary hearing and Mr. Schmiege extensively cross-examined the arresting detectives concerning the manner of arrest and manner of interrogation. At the close of the hearing Mr. Schmiege argued that the arrest was made without probable cause and the statement was the result of the illegal arrest and need to be suppressed. After that lengthy hearing the Judge agreed with Mr. Schmiege that the arrest of the Defendant was without probable cause and violative The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which protects you from unreasonable search and seizure and the judge granted the motion. With the evidence being suppressed, that being the Defendants confession, the State had no choice but to DISMISS the case.
After the case was DISMISSED the Defendant filed a civil rights lawsuit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the City of Chicago and that case settled for a substantial amount of money. In this case the Defendant confessed to the crime of murder, had his murder case dismissed and then got paid by the City of Chicago.
Contact Chicago Criminal Defense Attorney Michael P. Schmiege if you are under investigation or have been arrest for murder in Chicago or Illinois. | <urn:uuid:edceef9d-ac12-41bf-9f52-c3e1fd83560c> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | http://chicagocriminaldefensefirm.com/recent-cases/people-of-the-state-of-illinois-v-f-a/ | 2018-06-21T22:02:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.961665 | 432 | [

The man in a drug-induced frenzy who police say they had to tackle as he tried to strangle and stab his boyfriend to death inside a Broadway apartment last Thursday night has been charged with attempted murder and assault, according to prosecutors.
Branden Miskell, 30, was arrested after police were able to stop the bloody attack just before midnight on January 11th. Police say the suspect admitted he was trying to kill his boyfriend.
Police at the scene said it appeared that Miskell was exhibiting signs of excited delirium, a condition of extreme agitation and physical aggression usually associated with heavy drug use. According to the charges, Miskell told police he had consumed “marijuana chocolate” prior to the attack:
According to police, the end of the assault was captured on video by the body cameras on the arriving officers.
The police report includes the victim’s account of his terrifying attempts to escape Miskell and call police:
The 29-year-old victim continues to recover from his injuries.
According to the police report on the incident, Miskell and the victim moved to Seattle together from Georgia and lived together in the third-floor Lyric building apartment where the attack unfolded.
King County prosecutors say Miskell has no significant criminal history.
Miskell has not yet entered a plea on the domestic violence charges. Prosecutors asked that he be held on $1 million bail. | <urn:uuid:3e487c7b-1369-48a2-baf5-0946f2d23702> | CC-MAIN-2018-26 | https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2018/01/man-charged-with-attempted-murder-in-broadway-apartment-stabbing-attack-on-boyfriend/ | 2018-06-21T21:19:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2018-26/segments/1529267864300.98/warc/CC-MAIN-20180621211603-20180621231603-00396.warc.gz | en | 0.982447 | 285 | [

As I continue to delve into sewing projects, I’m beginning to need some repeatability. I’ve managed to put together some successful pieces without patterns so far and the time has come to figure out this part of the equation.
simple pattern making tool
After a rudimentary proof of concept for a new project, my buddy Scott and I spent an evening drawing up patterns on cardboard and putting together a prototype cut from those patterns. Satisfied with the outcome of our prototype, we set ourselves on a mission of production for our new idea. While I cut material using our pattern, temporarily taping the pieces together with iron on seam tape, Scott began assembling components.
The ability to repeatably cut fabric has been awesome, particularly after we swung by the hardware store and bought an inexpensive wood burning/soldering iron to cut and seal edges all at once.
Pattern drawn out on fabric with pattern in the background.
While sewing up the first run, my sewing machine siezed up, throwing a wrench into our production plans, but with some quick transport to Casper via one of Scott’s business trips, we were able to drop the machine with Dave from Sew Fix it. Dave was amazing, not only fixing the machine overnight basically, but also delivering it back to Lander the next day as he made some other deliveries. To top it all off, he gave me a tutorial on adjusting stitches, zigzag stitches and machine maintenance, right at the house!
I brought one of the first batch into the field with me for two weeks of backcountry skiing and when I returned, I was able to finish up the “production pieces” before Scott took off for a float down the Grand Canyon, handing them off to him with a feedback form for our “voluntold” testing crew. We are looking forward to some design feedback, durability testing and most importantly tales of adventure and fun on the big river.
Things we learned in this process:
- Hot knives rule to cut nylon.
- cardboard patterns are easier to trace around on fabric than paper.
- Math skills. This is why they teach math in schools, you may actually need it someday!
- Sewing machines need to be oiled. (oops, thanks Dave!)
- We still have a bunch to learn before we go into actual “production.”
- Scott made his first machine stitches (and did great!)
- Iron on seam tape is awesome when working with lightweight fabrics and washes out when they are all sewn up.
Scott lays down his first stitches on the prototype cut from our very first pattern.
While I was in the field the abridged version of my Backcountry Boiler review was featured on the National Geographic Adventure Blog, check it out:

When Mike St. Pierre from Hyperlite Mountain Gear was hanging out at my house this summer I was throwing out ideas for all kinds of things when he playfully mentioned that it’s not the ideas that are the hard part of gear design. Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of business or marketing experience, which I think is what Mike was alluding to. Still, I threw out the idea of an ultralight ski pack, perhaps based on the Windrider pack they already make, and Mike seemed intrigued. After reading that I had been taking the Windrider out on some ski tours, Mike suggested that his new Porter pack might be a better fit for skiing. After a brief email exchange where I told Mike about some upcoming ski courses I would be working for NOLS, he sent me out the Hyperlite Expedition, the big brother to the Porter, and I agreed that I would prototype an Avy pouch that would attach to either the Porter or Expedition.
Hyperlite Expedition Pack. Photo courtesy of Hyperlite Mountain Gear.
The Porter/Expedition packs are no frills ultralight packs in classic mountaineering style. The packs are constructed from the same Cuben Fiber hybrid as the Windrider, but features a beefier (but not bulkier) waist belt and shoulder straps. The packs can be closed in either drybag style – creating a loop at the top, or with the removable vertical straps for a clean top. Along each side of the pack runs a vertical daisy chain, to about halfway up the length of the pack. On the rear of the pack run another pair of daisy chains, framing the rear panel.
I spent an evening this week building a Prototype Avy tool pouch that should work well. Overall, I am happy with how this “first draft” turned out, though it wasn’t without its trials and a few ripped seams. I can’t seem figure out pattern making yet. I find it helpful for conceptualizing and laying stuff out, but my sizing keeps coming out a bit off. Easily fixed at the sewing machine though! It attaches securely with 3/4″ side release buckles and remains quickly removable. The pack has three compression straps on the sides which should allow ski carry in the A-Frame method, which isn’t my preferred way to haul skis around when they aren’t on my feet, so I’ll continue to look at ways to incorporate a diagonal carry method with the new pouch attached. After some testing this winter, I’ll send the pouch off to Mike and we’ll see if he can adapt my “train-of-consciousness” sewing job into a refined Cuben Fiber product worthy of his pack line.
