has morphed into today’s mutant Ninja white patriarchal hero – something a white male could previously do only by “transitioning” to an entirely new gender.
They might at least have the common decency to be embarrassed by their sudden adulation of Saint Bannon but that would be asking for some semblance of decency which is clearly beyond their ken.
Michael Wolff, who was apparently tapped to write about the first 100 days of Trump as he was given White House access, has not previously been held in high regard by the MSM. I suppose that could explain why he was chosen unwisely, it would seem, by Bannon himself, I would suspect. A questionable decision in retrospect.
Wolff has previously been bashed by none less than the Columbia (his alma mater) Journalism Review and referred to as “blunt,” “pathetic” and “calculating” by various sources. Of course being a pariah of MSM may have served in Wolff’s favor at the time Bannon tapped him for the assignment.
So brace yourself; it will be shark week, which generally runs for a month, commencing with the release of this book next week. This is good for the MSM as they haven’t had much new Russia! Russia! Russia! material for quite awhile now.
I am focusing on something that will not be good news for the MSM, also revealed in Wolff’s book: Peter Thiel Is Exploring The Creation Of A Conservative Cable News Network.
I would suggest they not hire Steve Bannon. | 2019-04-26T16:00:23Z | http://www.michellesmirror.com/2018/01/from-racist-svengali-to-media-superhero.html |

There are over 300 car hire locations in England so wherever you need a car, there’s likely to be a pick up point nearby.
England is beautiful during most months of the year. The seasons are very distinctive – so you can expect colourful autumns and crisp winters.
In England, unlike in other countries like Spain, it’s usually cheaper to rent a car in the city (or “downtown”) than at the airport.
Choose the best – compare the global leaders in car hire, and pick the right price and options for you.
Book with ease – our booking process is quick, simple and transparent.
Pick the location – find the most suitable pickup location using our interactive maps.
Select your favourite – choose from a versatile range of vehicles, from small cars to SUVs.
Help on hand – we have a large customer services team ready to assist you with your car hire needs 24 hours a day.
Flexible bookings – free cancellation and amendments as standard.
Most hire cars are likely to be manual, as this is how most cars operate in England.
You must be at least 21 years of age to hire a car, and young driver fees may apply if you are under 25.
Turning at a red light is legal in some countries, but this is not allowed in England. Only if your lane has a designated arrow which is green, may you go when the straight on light is red.
The UK has a fantastic network of motorways, and there aren't many toll roads. In fact, the majority of toll routes are river crossings. Unless you plan on using one of these, you most likely will not come across any tolls. If you happen to cross the Swinford Bridge, you’ll be pleased to know that this particular toll is only 5p.
Zebra crossings are white striped lines painted on the road. Pedestrians have right of way here, so you must stop and let them cross.
Single carriageway roads are 60 mph, unless otherwise stated.
A white circular sign with a thick black diagonal line means that the road is national speed limit.
Most towns and built up areas have 30 or 20 mph speed limits.
Motorways are 70 mph, and you overtake on the right.
Known as one of the greatest bridges in the world, designed by Victorian engineer, Brunel.
One of the best preserved in the world, built in 70AD.
Perhaps the most well-known prehistoric monument on the planet.
Once a hunting ground for William the Conqueror, wild ponies live here.
Large sculpture carved into a limestone hill close to Weymouth.
National park which stretches over five counties and has 1.6 thousand miles of public footpaths.
Famed for the legend of Robin Hood and its Major Oak – the biggest oak in Britain.
One of the largest cathedrals in Northern Europe, with medieval stained glass.
Originally built for Benedictine monks, more recently it was a filming location for Harry Potter.
A historical site built for transporting coal and used as an air raid shelter during WWII.
Depending on where you are in England, you may find yourself on a country road. Here you will find the most spectacular scenery, but if you are unfamiliar with them, it’s useful to know what to expect.
You may get stuck behind farm vehicles such as tractors. Be patient, often they will pull over and let the queue of cars behind them pass. If they don’t, make sure you wait until you have a good view of the road ahead before attempting to overtake.
Country lanes are often only wide enough for one car. Drivers are usually pretty polite, so it’s good to look out for possible passing places in case you need them. You will find that people will do the same for you, but if you need to, giving way is simple enough. Just keep your speed low enough so that if you do come across a car heading the other way, you can slow safely and work out how to pass one another.
If there is no street lighting and you hit a foggy patch (day or night) it’s important to know how your fog lights operate. This isn’t a common issue, but you can get caught out if you don’t know how to turn them on and you suddenly need them.
Signs aren’t always very frequent when you’re outside of town. Have a clear route in your head before you set off. | 2019-04-19T04:43:53Z | https://www.easycar.com/car-hire/england |
A shop owner has been left shocked after a sneak-in thief snatched her handbag while she worked just feet away.
Mum-of-one Sam Johnstone was at work in Tuxford and said she was completely unaware of a man creeping in through the back door, before he made off with her Dubarry bag.
The bag - which contained her "whole world" including her keys to her shop, car and home, along with her purse and passport - was taken in the brazen raid on Blue Rose Bridal on Eldon Street on Tuesday, July 4 at around 2.15pm.
Sam, who co-owns the boutique with Donna Tong, said: "I got a text from Barclaycard saying one of my cards was being used in Retford Asda so I rushed into the back room to check my bag but it had gone.
"I thought 'oh my god, not my bag; it's got my whole world in it'.
"I had to rush round to check my car was still there and luckily it was.
"It's scary to think he was in the back room while we were in the front - it's only separated by a curtain."
Once he had escaped undetected, it is claimed the thief attempted to go on a shopping spree with Sam's cards.
"Because he'd used a card I hadn't used for a while, my bank got in touch. If he hadn't done that it would have been a lot longer before I knew what was going on.
"He was trying to use all my contactless cards which allow you to get £30 of goods at a time.
"Since I put an appeal on Facebook other shops say they stopped someone from doing the same to them."
Sam says the incident has made her and other workers on the quiet village street feel uneasy.
"It's a little bit shocking - he'd managed to get in while we were here," she said.
"It looks like he's targeting women and it's mainly females working along this street.
"I think it's made all of us very wary."
Notts Police want to speak to the man in the CCTV image to help officers with the enquiry.
The police appeal to anyone who knows who he is or who may know anything about the crime to contact them, quoting incident number 525 of July 4, on 101. | 2019-04-21T22:08:26Z | https://www.lincolnshirelive.co.uk/news/local-news/sneak-thief-swipes-bag-just-192426 |
Sam is suspicious... and rightly so. I think that Strider appreciates the suspicion, even if it means repeated defending of his intentions. Perhaps that is in part what leads Strider to confide the seriousness of Frodo's wound to Sam?
"I fear, Sam, that they believe your master has a deadly wound that will subdue him to their will."
Yeah... that fear is pretty spot on.
But more specifically, we're diving into the unnatural state of the Black Riders. Mortal weapons are of little use against the Riders, but the name of Elbereth strikes like a blade. The blade used to wound Frodo is found, only to melt away to just the hilt once Strider picks it up. Weathertop itself appears as an ambush point from the start, and now their relative peace merely the Riders confidence that there quarry is not long a free living agent. The wound that the Riders left is such that neither special herbs left from the days of the Men of the West nor elven magic are enough to stay it's dire effects.
Probably the best off of our party is the pony, who is much improved since his liberation from Bill Ferney and growing a bond with Samwise Gamgee.
Sam also further stands out as a disciple of Bilbo. He is quite curious about the world at large for a Hobbit, and has a quite fanciful and creative bent. The song at the site of the stone trolls is not insignificant.
The journey from Weathertop to Rivendell is still days away, days they must travel as swiftly as possible. The roads can't be trusted, but an elf-stone left on the Last Bridge seems to indicate at least safe passage over the River Hoarwell/Mitheithel. But the decision is made to avoid the road as much as possible until time to ford the Loudwater, the Bruinen of Rivendell. The land between the rivers are desolate and filled with ruins of great men who fell under the shadow of Angmar, long destroyed in the war that ended the North Kingdom.
Strider gives us a slight insight to his past in reflecting on Rivendell. "I dwelt there once, and still I return when I may. There my heart is; but it is not my fate to sit in peace, even in the fair house of Elrond." Not only that, but enough familiarity to say that "The heirs of Elendil do not forget all things past." The nice thing about a textual medium like a book is it easily allows for a slow build of reveal combined with greater exposition. We're not getting the full matter of Aragorn's heritage and birthright, but Tolkien is building up to that point.
Glorfindel is our first deliberate encounter with an elf, but spurred by that chance encounter back in the Shire. News traveled fast, with news of the hobbits wandering without a guide, Gandalf's absence, and the Nine abroad, reaching Rivendell far enough in advance to send out outriders nine days ago. Glorfindel is the source of the elf-stone on the bridge, left for the exact purpose that Aragorn took it for. I do wonder that even without the threat of the Black Riders, if the hobbits could have made it this far without a guide. The journey is far from straightforward. As it is, luck and fortunate allies has gotten Frodo and his allies this far.
Fortunately, elven steeds run swifter than the mounts of the Black Riders, and Glorfindel's steed is well trained. That training saves Frodo (and everyone, since his failure means the Ring is restored to Sauron), the siren call of the Wraiths pulling at Frodo nearly won, and his show of defiance would have meant little. But once crossed the river, one last show of defiance does seem to mean something.
And the river rises up in a "cavalry of waves" in which Frodo seems to see the forms of white riders upon white steeds in the froth. Whatever he saw, the Black Riders in the river are washed away, and those still on land soon follow as their crazed mounts leap into the flood. Frodo's faint into darkness in confusion could be from the toll the wound has taken on his mind and body, or maybe it's part of a last frantic pull on part of the Riders.
While looking at the film, for the time being we'll skip over the machinations at Isengard. Long story short, Saurman is up to no good.
Actually, the whole adaptation can be summarized as "long story short." An extended multi-day journey is compressed into one frantic day.
An injured Frodo has reappeared, injured by a dark blade who's evil magics work fast. Frodo is going cold and is "passing into the shadow, soon he'll be a wraith like them." No stated fear of the wound suborning Frodo's will, but a flat statement that the wound will ultimately transform our hobbit into a wraith. Out of all the hobbits, Samwise really is the one most likely to recognize the obscure "weed" Strider says they'll need.
No Glorfindel here, but instead Arwen playfully catching a frantic Aragorn off guard. It's a cute moment, but in terms of the bigger picture, it's a bit of an odd action on her part. She has spent the days searching for them, and knows that five of the riders are "behind" them on the road and the other four could be anywhere. I remember first watching the film and wondering at why Arwen glowed so radiantly when running to Frodo, as it turns out I completely forgot how Glorfindel appeared to Frodo's eyes.
Actually watching this I'm shocked at how young Liv Tyler looks, smooth cheeked with a softness of residual baby-fat. Orlando is likely to also appear shockingly young once he appears again. The elves in The Hobbit are played by older actors, ones that retain something of an ageless quality but that no longer have the softness of recent youth.
I know quite a few people who are emphatically not a fan of Arwen's expanded role in these films. I have a bit of reading and re-watching to go, but this substitution I'm not bothered by. Within it we are clued in to a long history between Aragorn and Arwen, one where body language hints at one time or perhaps hoped for intimacy. Jackson is giving us a piece of Aragorn's story arc that needs some sort of presence for later events in the story.
The Frodo here couldn't stay on any elven steed, no matter how well trained, by himself. So Arwen rides ahead with a barely conscious hobbit in front of her. Jackson has made the mounts of the Black Riders a bit more evenly matched to the swift elven steed, though that likely is more for drama than anything else. The ambush itself seems largely missing, but there is a mix of open plains riding and chaos of sparse forests before they reach the river. There is no question about the river responding to a mystic call nor the shapes of horses within the angry froth. The river comes in Arwen's response, washing away the riders, and we end with Frodo collapsing as Arwen holds him tight. | 2019-04-21T22:53:01Z | https://libromancersapprentice.blogspot.com/2016/04/lord-of-rings-fellowship-of-read-book-1.html |
Antennae of mandibulate arthropods are equipped with numerous specialized epidermal sensilla, which are composed of two structural units: sensory cells with their dendritic processes and several sheath cells. However, they are complex in structure and function and play an essential role in shaping the nervous systems’ primary processing centers. The arthropod nervous system provides a wealth of information that can contribute to our understanding about arthropod phylogeny and evolutionary transformations of the arthropod brain. Here, the discipline of Neurophylogeny provides a synthesis of neurobiological questions and evolutionary aspects. In a set of experiments with representatives of Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea and Hexapoda, I analyze the anatomy and morphology of antennae and arthropodia (especially epidermal sensilla), primary visual, chemosensory, and mechanosensory pathways, as well as secondary processing neuropils in the nervous system.
The arthropodium has adapted many different shapes and is thus able to perform a vast of different functions. Among arthropods, trunk legs, primarily used for locomotion, were transformed many times independently into appendages of various functions and are thus considered excellent study models to understand pathways of adaptation and evolution. The aim of this project is to investigate the terminal (=ultimate) legs in centipedes, which do not participate in walking. Often correlated with sexual dimorphism, terminal legs may be extremely elongated and resemble antennae. We explore the sensory equipment, innervation patterns and functions of terminal legs of selected centipede species using multimodal microscopic (SEM, TEM, LM, cLSM, µCT) and electrophysiological techniques. Comparisons with antennae and walking legs will unravel potential constructional morphological constraints in the course of evolutionary transformation from former walking legs in what is assumed to be sensory appendages.
To investigate external morphology I use scanning electron microscopy, and to further explore the ultrastructure of organ systems transmission electron microscopy. On a larger scale, I use histological methods like paraffin histology and serial semi-thin sectioning in combination with light microscopy. On the level of organ systems and tissues, I use immunohistochemistry and neuronal backfilling in combination with fluorescence and confocal laserscan microscopy. With the aid of specific antibodies I detect a variety of epitopes like cytoskeleton, musculature or neuropeptides. Beyond that, non-destructive imaging by X-Ray micro-computertomography allows for an integrative analysis without dissection. Finally, to understand and transport histological and tomographic data, I use 3-dimensional visualization and reconstruction.
Myriapods are terrestrial arthropods comprising the taxa Chilopoda, Diplopoda, Pauropoda, and Symphyla. They are poorly known with respect to many organ systems. However, these data are needed as pivotal question on arthropod evolution fundamentally depend on the status and systematic position of this taxon.
Our group focuses on a comparative analysis of external morphology and internal anatomy with emphasis on sensory organs, glandular systems, transformed appendages, and the nervous system. Moreover, we investigate fossil taxa, developmental stages, as well as aspects on taxonomy, biodiversity, and general biology.

Expecting a baby is an exciting time for you and your family. The Birthplace at Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center offers technologically advanced maternity care.
At The Birthplace, expectant moms have access to an onsite obstetrician 24/7 and an ante-partum unit is available to care for high-risk mothers prior to delivery. All private maternity suites have comfortable, attractive decor designed to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Rooms also feature rocking chairs and oversized sleep chairs for family members, including brothers and sisters of any age.
Expectant moms can bypass the emergency room during labor and enter The Birthplace directly — day or night — to get the care they need. Spring Valley Hospital is the only hospital in Las Vegas with a separate entrance for labor and delivery services. Dedicated parking space is also reserved for expectant moms at the Birthplace.
Spring Valley Hospital is the only hospital in southwest Las Vegas with both a Level II and Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). With a total of 30 beds, the NICUs are equipped with advanced medical technology required for a wide range of conditions, including babies born a few weeks prematurely, unstable babies and those born with low birth weights.
A Level II NICU is a special care nursery that provides basic care and is also equipped to treat infants who are moderately ill with problems that are expected to resolve quickly. A Level III NICU has specially trained personnel, such as a neonatologist, nurse practitioners, NICU-trained nurses and respiratory therapists. They provide continuous life support and comprehensive care for extremely high-risk newborn infants including preemies and those with complex and critical illness. Because the care of premature and sick babies is highly complex, choosing a hospital with an onsite NICU that provides the greatest level of care is important — especially for those facing a high-risk pregnancies.
Families of NICU patients are welcome to use “Bailey’s Room,” a special family room at Spring Valley Hospital named after a former NICU patient. The family room was recently renovated to provide a more home-like environment for families during a trying time in their lives.
Mothers and families who’ve taken advantage of couplet care often leave the hospital with less anxiety and the confidence to start caring for their baby. Having a baby close to the bedside at all times allows moms to focus on development and get to know her baby’s personality and patterns. Couplet care also gives mothers a chance to receive special attention from the knowledgeable nurses while at the hospital. They can educate you and your family about important infant-care methods, such as your baby’s sleep patterns, breathing sounds and eating habits, as well as provide breastfeeding counseling.
While couplet care is encouraged, we also understand rest is important to recovery. We welcome moms to take a break and re-energize when needed while maternity nurses care for your newborn.
To preregister, please call 702-369-7710 or use our online registration system.
If you need a referral to an OB/GYN or other physician at Spring Valley Hospital Medical Center, call our free physician referral service at 702-388-4888. | 2019-04-25T19:04:42Z | https://www.springvalleyhospital.com/services/womens-services/birthplace |

Go to Robert Bruce's events page at www.kundalinidynamics.com for full details and bookings. This is the first of a series of affordable events by Robert Bruce in Australian and New Zealand capital cities.
sessions will concern Kundalini and Ascension, and how these are connected. For the final hour, I will open up the floor for questions. The venue is a very nice UWA lecture theater.
Please note that the date for this event is 10th Oct 2015. The date given on the flyer has been changed to the 10th.
Here is a description of the seminar for Conversations with a Mystic.
I usually start all my live events with a fun demonstration of Body Awareness Tactile Imaging. This, because my new system of energy work is the cornerstone of my work. Understanding this on a personal experience basics is crucial for everything I teach. In the Kundalini and Ascension seminar, this will be followed by an explanation of what kundalini and Ascension actually mean, what they are and what they are not. Belief system territory follows, with an explanation that, above all else, your beliefs have a massive impact on your reality, and on your interface with the Greater Reality and your Higher Self. This can be as easy to do as it can be difficult to swallow, as you are instructed to discard all beliefs that are not based on Personal Experience.
When persons ascend, they are not 'taken up' or dissolved out of normal physical reality. Their perceptions change, as their beliefs and understandings 'align' with the Higher Self and the greater reality. This is essential because the Higher Self exists in absolute truth in The Now, as Eckhart Tolle says. It is because of this that, if you want to align with your higher spiritual divine intelligence, you must live in actual truth in all ways.
Analogy…. Imagine that a normal person's energies are like a crowded ear-splitting rock concert, and that his/her Higher Self is like a tuning fork toning a beautiful clear note. The Higher Self is obviously drowned out by the chaotic noise. The process of cleansing the belief system removes one instrument at a time, and then the crowds, until enough silence is created whereby the Higher Self note can be heard.
Once you are aligned as closely as possible, your Higher Divine Self begins to manifest more closely in everything you do. This includes the downloading of any creative information you need, whether it be music, poetry, science, spiritual truth, psychic perceptions, or revelations.
This process is related to The Creative Inspirational Process. It is well known that creative musicians, poets, writers, scientists, anyone with any kind of creative work, downloads information from the collective consciousness. This works 'because' beliefs are not involved. So your belief system cannot get in the way. But for anything else relating to the spiritual understanding of life and your self, having a disciplined truth based belief system is crucial. This is, btw, how I came to be, and how I access 'inspirational' information regarding my work. | 2019-04-22T12:25:54Z | http://blog.astraldynamics.com/2015/08/04/kundalini-and-ascension/ |

Over the weekend, Netflix posted a cryptic image with the word “Homecoming,” setting the internet ablaze, with the Bey Hive dousing the fire. A few days after, confirming the internet rumors, Netflix released an official documentary trailer featuring clips of performance practices, juxtaposed with clips of black history and art, iconically featuring a voiceover clip of the late Dr. Maya Angelou.
The documentary will provide an in-depth look into the preparation of the iconic Beychella performance, along with never-before-seen scenes of Beyonce creative directing the entire performance.
The trailer was just a teaser but it didn’t stop me from guessing what to expect in it. Anxious for what’s to come, I’ve speculated 5 things that you can expect from Homecoming.
Beyonce’s Coachella performance was based on high-energy historically black college or university (HBCU) homecomings. HBCU homecomings are huge celebrations with a wide variety of events and culture ranging from Black Greek Letter Organization step shows, band extravaganzas, and fun house parties. From the outfits, music selection, and song breaks, we can clearly see how homecoming performances that inspired her. I’m hoping to see Bey studying Youtube videos of legendary bands from schools like Southern and FAMU to finally end the debate of which band is better and who actually inspired Bey. Giving back to the institutions who inspired her, following her Beychella performance, Beyonce launched the Homecoming Scholars Award Program, which awarded four HBCUs $25,000 to give to a student of their choosing.
The length of the documentary is a glorious two hours and seventeen minutes long, making it possible for us to possibly see full-length clips from the performances, in several different angles. The trailer showed the dancers joking behind the stage and during dance rehearsals so I strongly believe we’ll also get clips of Bey doing the same. I’m sure we’ve al wondered how silly Bey is, and it looks like we’ll finally get an inside look.
Beyonce is known for making large stages a platform for black culture, and Beychella was no different. Beyonce made history by being the first African-American women to headline at Coachella. She also broke records as the most live-streamed performance of all time. Her unapologetic celebration of black culture and history in a predominately white cultural space opened the mainstream door for appreciation of a celebration that educated African Americans have enjoyed for decades. Those records and the impact of the performance were no accident. I’d love to see Beyonce in the beginning stages of this mastermind plan to broadcast the beauty of black culture.
Beyonce is a global entertainer that has astonishingly kept her personal life away from the public. In this documentary we’ll get a glimpse of her training in the gym, sharing intimates moments with Jay Z, hitting dance practice with Blue Ivy, and super exclusive video of the mystery twins, Rumi and Sir. With Bey always flying under the radar with her personal life, this overload of personal videos and pictures will finally put our wondering minds at ease.
After we have explored the journey to Beychella, the documentary will probably end with a look at what’s to come for Beyonce. As the Queen of release dramatics, she always surprises fans with jaw-dropping announcements, so it’s safe to assume this will be no different. It’s certain there is a lot more to come from mother Bey, and I’m sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what’s next. | 2019-04-22T08:38:20Z | https://niachantal.com/5-things-to-possibly-expect-from-beyonces-new-netflix-documentary/ |
There are features of this impressive old building which point to its medieval origins, not least the remaining dry moats to the east and the north of the structure. Indeed, the architectural historian will find much to admire and cogitate.
Its most famous owner was, perhaps, Marie Gaudin, who was called by many the “most beautiful lady of the time”. Indeed, her pulchritude caught the eye of King Francis I which resulted in her becoming his mistress.
Notable visitors include Henri IV who stayed at the chateau in May 1535 following his signing of l’Edit de Nantes (a recognition of the Huguenots), and the Duke of Windsor in 1937.
Boasting 20 guest rooms, an outdoor heated swimming pool, restaurant and bar, Chateau de la Bourdaisiere is situated just a few miles to the east of Tours near the village of Montlouis-sur-Loire. | 2019-04-25T06:59:56Z | http://www.nightsinthepast.com/chateau-de-la-bourdaisiere.html |
Substance abuse has always been and remains a serious problem for the American society, regardless of age of its members. The issue of substance addiction involves several psychological, biological, social and economic factors. Today, countless amount of drug dealers use to enrich through the distribution of narcotic substances, hurting, thus, the national economy and social wellness of Americans. In this regards, sociocultural determinants and aspects of drug abuse and dynamics of addiction should be studied more closely in order to evaluate the damage caused by drugs.
Drug addiction strongly depends on such factors of gender, age, ethnicity and race, income level, sexual orientation, and educational attainment. Besides, drug addiction depends on community, household, and interpersonal dynamics. Among adolescents, substance abuse is influenced by peer pressure, family, and social networks. Recent researches suggest, for instance, that marijuana exposure, on the part of siblings and friends, is the primary determinant of current marijuana use among adolescents ("Substance abuse," 2014). According to recent researches, America currently takes 60 percent from the global drug market, which population makes 6 percent of the world's (Moorehead, 2007). Experts claim that drugs widespread use is caused by financial crisis, fear of workplace loss, drugs availability, and the desire to escape the cruel reality (Blair, 2011).
According to the U.S. Department of Health, drugs and alcohol cause damage of $294 billion to the country's economy annually. Both direct, and indirect costs were considered at calculation: expenditures for medicine, maintenance of law enforcement agencies, elimination of consequences of the road accidents caused by drivers in a condition of drug intoxication, compensation to victims of the crimes committed by criminals in a condition of drug intoxication, work decline in production, etc. (Doweiko, 2012). Besides, drug addiction has its devastating physical and psychological cost. Psychologically, chemical substances can cause various feelings from euphoria to sharp depression or suicidal thoughts. Physically drugs intoxication can cause various physical effects ranging from slowed breathing and sleepiness to a rapid heart rate. In terms of long-term effects, substances are even more harmful and life threatening than in terms of short effects (James, 2008).
The U.S. law defines and punishes cases of crimes and accidents committed under the drug operation. The addicted persons usually practice vandalism, violence against their families and friends, stealing for to receive money for drugs, etc. From their part, drug dealers often resort to force and violence against other drug dealers. According to reports of the FBI, in 2009, there were approximately 1.7 million arrests associated with drug abuse violations. Besides, in the USA, more than 1.4 million of arrests are performed for driving under the influence of drugs annually. Drugged driving is the major cause of disability, injury and death of the youth ("Alcohol, drugs and crime," n.d.).
Several researches showed that suicides committed under the influence of drugs are 6 times oftener in comparison to those committed under other influences (Ilgen, & Kleinberg, 2011). Statistics shows that 86.4 percent of the registered homicide cases are committed under the influence of substances ("The link between drugs and homicide," 2002). In addition, drug abuse affects interpersonal relations dramatically, leading to disharmony in families and at workplaces. Drug abusers usually mingle in the companies of other drug users, which supports the drug abuse. As a result, being influenced by such groups, a person hardly can break away from substance addiction ("Substance abuse and interpersonal relationships," 2014).
Before drug addiction can be treated, its dynamics should be studied. Scientists define several stages of the substance abuse dynamics. For example, denial is manifested when a person refuses to recognize any events or actions and accept them. Denial is considered to be one of the most primitive defense mechanism since it is usually characteristic for early childhood. Every day, many people use denial in order to avoid painful feelings or unwished aspects of life. For insstance, substance addicted use to deny their dependence, pointing to their success in career performance and relationships. Displacement of the event hurting the individual's mind with the use of drugs is another defense mechanism. For example, abandoned lover tries to forget bad memories associated with the incident and expel them from the memory through the escape from the reality by means of drug abuse. Besides, displacement usually has aggressive manifestations, being directed on the surrounding people. As a result, it is a rather inefficient mechanism because misapplication of negative emotions to other harmless people leads to additional problems (Ferguson, 2012).
Projection occurs when a person attributes his or her own thoughts, feelings and motives to the others. In other words, he or she explains others acts due to own motives attributed to the person. For example, the bright representative of a group of people using a projection is a husband experiencing jealousy. Projection is usually a result of absence of acknowledgement and insight of one's own feelings and motives. Rationalization is reflected in giving justificatory reasonable explanations to already rendered events or, on the contrary, person's inaction. For example, a person may start claiming that he or she takes drugs because of having deep depression or working hard. One more mechanism of defense is intellectualization, which helps the person to separate his or her emotions from behavior. Intellectualization example can be addicted person who tries to deflect attention from discussions about the harm of drugs by engaging in debates over legalization of substances (Ferguson, 2012).
Taking into account all abovementioned information, it should be noted that chemical abuse greatly affects such aspect of the United States wellbeing as the economy, social health, and interpersonal relations. According to statistics, young people are most exposed to drug abuse. Significant amount of crimes and road accidents occur because of drug abuse, leading to numerous deaths and injuries of young people. In this regard, the U.S. law is directed on active combat against drug spread and intake. | 2019-04-23T10:49:57Z | https://primewritings.co.uk/essays/research/chemical-dependence-crisis-of-addiction.php |
What DARPA is investigating; MIT’s tech forecasting model.
DARPA’s Semiconductor Technology Advanced Research Network, aka Starnet, unveiled its research plans for 2015 and 2016. Topping the list in 2015 is an investigation into the feasibility of using advanced 2D materials for ultra low-power devices, along with the fab methodology, modeling and simulation tools necessary to make it all work.
The fiscal 2015 research will look at limits in scaling multifunctional and spintronics materials, as well as begin development of new heterogeneous architectures and the statistical underpinnings of machine learning and neuro-based architectures, as well as developing components, architectures, data control and sensors for swarm applications.
Next year, the agency plans to design circuits using “steep turn-on” transistors for pattern recognition and energy scavenging, along with developing scalable computing system concepts for the 2020 to 2030 timeframe for defense-related computing systems.
MIT engineers have developed a formula for predicting how fast certain technologies are moving based upon patent information.
Researchers scanned more than 500,000 patents spanning everything from solar photovoltaics to fuel cells to 3D printing. One surprise was that just because there are more patents for a particular technology doesn’t mean that it’s actually progressing faster. That’s evident with 3D printing, which has fewer patents than other technologies, but it’s progressing at the speed of Moore’s Law.
First of all, the fastest-moving technologies are 3D printing, MRI technology and wireless communications.
Researchers believe the method may evolve into a rating system, similar to some of the stock market indices such as Standard & Poor’s, which may help investors find the next big thing and avoid investments that are unlikely to succeed. | 2019-04-25T20:03:15Z | https://semiengineering.com/system-bits-april-21/ |

You are given a string $$$s$$$ consisting only of lowercase Latin letters.
You can rearrange all letters of this string as you wish. Your task is to obtain a good string by rearranging the letters of the given string or report that it is impossible to do it.
Let's call a string good if it is not a palindrome. Palindrome is a string which is read from left to right the same as from right to left. For example, strings "abacaba", "aa" and "z" are palindromes and strings "bba", "xd" are not.
You have to answer $$$t$$$ independent queries.
The first line of the input contains one integer $$$t$$$ ($$$1 \le t \le 100$$$) — number of queries.
Each of the next $$$t$$$ lines contains one string. The $$$i$$$-th line contains a string $$$s_i$$$ consisting only of lowercase Latin letter. It is guaranteed that the length of $$$s_i$$$ is from $$$1$$$ to $$$1000$$$ (inclusive).
Print $$$t$$$ lines. In the $$$i$$$-th line print the answer to the $$$i$$$-th query: -1 if it is impossible to obtain a good string by rearranging the letters of $$$s_i$$$ and any good string which can be obtained from the given one (by rearranging the letters) otherwise.
In the first query we cannot rearrange letters to obtain a good string.
Other examples (not all) of correct answers to the second query: "ababaca", "abcabaa", "baacaba".
In the third query we can do nothing to obtain a good string.

Posted by Kim May on January 15, 2010 under DB2 for Linux Unix Windows, DB2 Migrations, Oracle. Tags: DB2 V9.7, Oracle, ValueNet, VAP.
In doing some co-marketing planning with the local IBM team there is clearly a lot of energy behind the push to move Oracle users to DB2. With V9.7 the claim is that 95% of all Oracle application code will run – untouched – in DB2 V9.7. So the IBM teams (and me) are looking at customers using both DB2 and Oracle as targets to move to 100% DB2 in 2010.
I am accumulating information on the migration process and trying to figure out how to accomplish it quickly – and therefore as inexpensively as possible. I want the ROI to show a return fast! There is a tool to estimate the migration effort which can then be used to estimate the cost. It’s 2010 – it’s so much easier than these things used to be…in fact, in looking at older migration plans, Frank dug up a white paper comparing Oracle and DB2 V6.1 that includes migration information. It’s 148 pages long…take a look (at the link below) if you have absolutely nothing else to do.
Of course, in the world of new reseller programs, ValueNet and Software Advantage Plus, and so on, I must mention The Fillmore Group has a competitive migration VAP in place to enable us to sell DB2 to Oracle users for the best prices anywhere. Call me if you want to make the change. Go DB2! | 2019-04-25T04:38:13Z | http://www.thefillmoregroup.com/blog/?tag=db2-v97 |

Spread far and wide is David Cameron's latest attempt at FUD, this one aimed specifically at farmers, telling us that Brexit could cost livestock producers as much as £330 million on lamb and beef exports alone.
The Prime Minister delivered this little nugget as he visited a farm in north Wales, prior to addressing the Welsh Conservative conference. The pitch is that more than 90 percent of UK lamb and beef exports - worth around £605 million - currently go to the EU.
On this basis, he says, if farmers had to rely on WTO rules rather than EU membership to secure trade access to the EU, they could be faced with tariffs costing £240 million a year for beef and £90 million for lamb, he said.
"British farmers and food producers rely on the single market", he claimed. "It gives them access to 500 million consumers, to whom they can sell their goods on an open, unrestricted basis. No tariffs, no barriers, no bogus health and safety rules designed to keep our products out".
And, like all "good" FUD, this has a basis in fact. Currently, beef imported from third countries into the EU, including the UK, does attract basic tariffs, with beef ranging from 12.8 percent plus, between €176.80 and €265.20 /100 kg.
Given that we were unwise enough to leave the EU without a trade deal, our exporters would have to be paying these rates to for the privilege of selling product to the remainder of the EU. However, nothing is ever quite as it seems. Overall, the UK is only 72 percent self sufficient in meat – about 76 percent in beef and veal. We import more than we export.
Now, if the EU imposed tariffs on us, we could impose similar amount on their product, which would mean that EU-sourced beef would not be competitive with home produced meats. Producers currently exporting to the EU would have an expanded opportunity on the domestic market, and one doubly attractive as it would be without the currency risk.
Even that, though, is not the whole extent of it. With current third country suppliers, the EU has a low tariff quota regime, brokered under the aegis of WTO rules, known as the Hilton quota. It was so named after being negotiated in the Hilton Hotels in Tokyo as part of the GATT agreements in 1979.
This allows for a quota of 58,100 tonnes of high-quality fresh, chilled and frozen beef from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand – at a lower fixed tariff rate of 20 percent. But, since reports indicate that much of this quota goes unused, this is something that the UK could relatively easily tap into.
Of more interest, though, is the duty-free beef quota Duty-Free Beef Quota (otherwise known as the Duty-Free Tariff Rate Quota – TRQ), which currently stands at 48,000 tons, taken up on a first come, first served basis. Although the UK would not automatically have access to this scheme, it does set a precedent for duty-free access to the EU market that the UK could invoke during Article 50 negotiations.
But therein lies our strongest suit. The willingness – some might say desperation - of the EU to do trade deals means that its own traditional beef markets are under threat. At the moment the Canadian deal, so loved by Boris Johnson, is causing alarm in Irish circles and the prospect of TTIP, opening European markets to US-produced beef, represents an even bigger threat.
Putting this together, it turns out that the one way of protecting UK livestock producers from cheap US beef is to leave the EU, opting out of TTIP (something that will keep Labour supporters happy) and imposing tariffs on EU goods.
On the other hand, we also have the option of a free market solution. Currently, we are only 55 percent self-sufficient in pig meat (which includes bacon and other cured products). The main imports come from Denmark and Holland, with additional supplies sourced from Germany, Ireland, France, Spain, Belgium and Poland.
The UK, therefore, has considerable leverage over a wide range of EU suppliers. In return for quota and tariff-free access to our pig meat market, it would be relatively simple to do a deal on beef – and also broker access to the valuable lamb market.
Mr Cameron's FUD is precisely that. The chances of the livestock industry being adversely affected by Brexit are slight and, in all probability, less than the effects of wider market access if we stay in the EU. | 2019-04-22T10:01:51Z | http://www.eureferendum.com/blogview.aspx?blogno=85974 |

There are a ton of accepted, best practice ways to work towards a higher conversion rate on your website. Whether it is an ecommerce site, lead generation, or even a portfolio, their uniqueness is not trumped by what has worked for marketers everywhere. I hope the following items help you understand that there are some staple ways to have a successful site in 2018.
Not everything is a game of throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks. It’s important to start any CRO testing plan with analytics. You need to know your customers and how they behave before you can begin to test them. You can do this by installing a software like VWO, or even just Google Analytics to track trends in behavior to begin to establish a foundation for what is wrong, and what must be tested or changed.
Once you’ve gathered some ideas around how users interact with your site, it’s time to establish your hypothesis for experimenting. This means gathering viable ideas you believe will help users reach the end destination you have set out for them in the easiest way possible. A hypothesis should be based on an observation and should reflect the trends gathered in your planning phase. Once you have gathered the hypotheses you want, it’s time to test.
Now that we have that covered, let’s begin to look at the best strategies we’ve seen work this year.
What speaks more to your products or your business than the customers themselves? NOTHING. Social proof, or testimonials, have been found to be the number one item users look for when shopping or researching a service. IF there is no social proof, there is no purchase.
Our movement in 2018 has been to focus on moving social proof sections to the forefront. This content should be front and center as an accessory to your CTA, add to cart button, or checkout process. We like to boil pages down to the bare bone necessities. That means the desired goal, brief information, and social proof. That tactic has shown time and time again to work, and we highly recommend shifting your focus on gathering and implementing your crowds as soldiers in your war for a higher conversion rate.
Obviously, you’re already trying to make your business an essential part of people’s lives. You strive to reflect your chops as something everyone wants and everyone can have. But what if I told you that was all wrong?
The key to making your product feel exclusive is to make it seem like it’s rare, or limited, or only for those who qualify. Human nature proves time and time again that people want what they can’t have… Or at least what they can’t have.
How do you do this? It’s time to test different messaging, implying that your product is one of a kind, or is only available at limited quantities. Other tactics include using timers (see below, this means a time to buy or you’re out!), or offer an email capture to “see if you’re qualified”, or even just telling users they’re flat out, missing out.
This one is going to sound incredibly simple. Move your CTAs up. That simple. Let me explain.
User attention spans are dropping. Site speed is beginning to play a very large part in how users deem a website experience worthy, so the ability to get goals across early and in a simple way is essential in 2018.
Let me give you an example: For the longest time, web designers and developers have made pages where information leads the charge for a scroll size 4000px and higher. At the end of the journey, they say “Okay, now you know, so BUY.” This works for big brands and trusted businesses with returning customers. But if you’re a shotgun business with a new idea, it’s important to use an elevator pitch of sorts that drives users to convert within the fold of the page (the fold is the section of the page you see when you load the URL).
Take your CTA, or your valuable content, and move it towards the top of the page however possible, in a logical manner. Don’t sacrifice your messaging or vital info, but implement the conversion point in a place where a user an easily reach it before bouncing.
If your test fails, test again. | 2019-04-23T12:41:35Z | https://powerdigitalmarketing.com/blog/the-top-cro-strategies-to-focus-on-in-2018/ |

I can't believe it's been a week and I am still sick! I probably shouldn't complain about it but seriously! Is this ever going to get better!?!? I have run out of ideas of what to do anymore. I have become this old granny who sits all day long knitting and reading. Sigh...I'm depressed.
Besides the being sick part I have been trying to figure out what I am going to do this year. The time is just ticking so I better come up with a good plan. I am not going to allow myself be lazy this year! I must admit that I have been having some difficulties with my change of plans but everything is under control...I think.
Either way now my priority is to get better which doesn't seem to be happening any day soon! Feeling homesick isn't helping either but things could be a lot worse than this so I will have to be patient.
Now that I have had all this free time I found these pictures that I took ages ago in Greece. It's always nice to find old pictures that you don't remember you even had.
Also as I said I have been reading a lot lately so here are a few books that I liked and recommend.
I found "El árbol de la Diana" on the library mostly just to practise my Spanish. I didn't think I was going to like it but it wasn't too bad. I am probably more excited of the fact that I understood 90% of what was going on in the book, but it surely had some mysterious things going on which made it interesting.
It is one of those books that is all about drama, mystery and romance...some people might find that overwhelming but I quite liked it.
I wish you all a good weekend! | 2019-04-25T16:55:42Z | http://karpalo93.blogspot.com/2013/08/hi-there-i-cant-believe-its-been-week.html |

BUBBLINE LIVES! Well, sort of.
... that at some point in time Princess Bubblegum and Marceline TOTALLY WERE A COUPLE.
Olson answered a fan's question (cut off in the video) concerning Bubbline, referencing a conversation she had with creator Pendleton Ward.
"And he said, 'Oh, you know they dated right?'"
Here's another video of Olsen answering the question with one fan yelling, "YES, YES!" as she spills the beans.
WE HAVE REACHED CANON. I repeat: We have REACHED CANON.
In the video you can see Olsen also made a point to ask Ward if the couple would be visible on the show or in the upcoming book. Unfortunately, not so much.
And I said, 'Are they going to do it on the show at all, or can we say anything about it in the book?" And he's like, 'I don't know about the book, but in some countries where the show airs, it's sort of illegal.' So that's why they're not putting it in the show. | 2019-04-22T06:36:25Z | https://www.buzzfeed.com/skarlan/adventure-time-actor-confirms-princess-bubblegum-and-marceli?utm_term=.mrO1YVqd8o |
I’m kind of having an Eichler moment today. You know that feeling when you get lost in photograph after photograph of stunning architecture, and then you can’t stop thinking about anything else?
Ok, maybe it’s just me, but I fell into a deep Eichler-sized hole online today and could not stop thinking about the photos I found here and here. Oh, and here. So go ahead, follow me into that black hole of pretty houses, you won’t be sorry. | 2019-04-24T00:13:55Z | https://www.claasshaus.com/blog/i-dream-of-eichler |

Which Big Muff Pi DIY?
That thing looks and sounds good, covers all the major Muffs from Triangle, Russian to Rams Head, all analoge too! A distortion is, in my opinion, a much more versatile pedal than a Muff. I had been sold on the Iron Bell for my muff tones, and bought the pedal. Very sorry for my late reply. Creamy Dreamer doesn't include the ludicrous power filtering of the original. On the album he used a Muff only and the signal was split between a Hiwatt and Yamaha rotating speaker cabinet for a hint of modulation. ? Any recommendations for what muff style pedal would work. See this feature for some.
Too boomy and dark and choked sounding with probably too much gain for my taste. That saturated fuzz and the fat lows does create some noise. Try it and hear how it sounds. It would be for my gigs in a classic cover band as well. Thanks for all of the guidance! Using the caps in series is a strange oddity for the Russian Big Muffs. Enclosure pre-drilled is only available with full kits, and will not take a battery.
Sometimes three gain pedals at once — compressor, distortion and overdrive. Lastly……you guys need to come play in the States!! Keep up the awesome work on this site man! Is there something wrong with my chain? Would one work better for the Gilmour chase? We recently wrote songs that need more bite. Are there any noticeable differences in tones or characteristics with the Muff? What pedal s , in your opinion, would best suit my requirements for a proper Muff like tone? The Green Russian Big Muff is awesome just as it is, but this is the super tweakable version in a sorta Sovtek Civil War looking color scheme. I usually set my Silver Jubilee like Billy Gibbons, with the mids and bass cranked and the treble and presence rolled all the way down and it works nicely with most Muffs. Can't wait to give this one a run through! Steve Howe of Yes recorded with one in 1971, and Robert Fripp of King Crimson was also recording with one in the Foxey lady enclosure in 1971. Additional traced units from some of the same versions may expose different transistor types used, or slightly different resistor or capacitor values in various locations of the circuit.
What is a good Ram's Head Big Muff clone?
Not quite as aggressive as the Pig Hoof but you can dial in similar tones and the mids switch also makes it a bit more versatile. Is there a pedal that can do both tones at bedroom level or close? My guitar is a Les Paul with p90 and my amp is a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. If you need more gain or just something to open up the tone a bit, add the Klon with a fairly clean setting. Which pedal would you recommend? I think both has a very smooth character and lots of sustain. It also rolls off any harsh overtones from the Muff, enhances the sustain and also adds a bit of compression and mid range.
I think i mean mid-scooped but i dunno for sure? Big Muffs are often referred to as fuzz and although that describes the tone, a traditional fuzz and Big Muff are soundwise and technically two different effects. Best wishes, Carn Hi Carn! I dont want to buy another pedal, if I can jet close with this one. Routing the wiring for the knobs is the fiddliest bit, and is easier if you use solid-core wire. Any suggestions for getting closer to that sound? Thanks a lot for your kind words! Is that primarily the blues driver or the Muff or something else like amp settings etc. There are no records on David using hum buckers on any album or song… as far as I know.
Note: The new model does not have the Pie logo on it, everything else is the same. Almost all capacitors round disks are ceramic, and all resistors with colored bands are carbon composition Shown above - Various second edition Triangle V1 Big Muff circuit boards showing the variety of capacitor and resistor values used. Glad you like our music : The albums are available on iTunes, Amazon, Burning Shed etc : I could write a loooooooong answer to your question but I think most of it is already covered on the site and in this feature in particular. It still needed work, but Mike did like the small volume boosting pre-amp Myer had built and the overdriven signal it sent to the amp. I have owned dozens of these and they all sound slightly different from each other. That's a website all to itself, and whaddayaknow? He assembled a four stage, silicon transistor circuit, much different than the Muff Fuzz, or any other fuzz circuit around at the time, and with a much different sound.
I have another question, this one pedal related. Does the Caprid sound dull in the room or only on the recording? Even the audio samples of it have some Gilmour tones. I have come across multiple examples from different owners with exactly these same component types and values, so this version seems to have been rather common. I did hit one snag during the build but it was due to a faulty power adapter. I highly recommend this pedal. It's based on the Triangle Muff as opposed to the Ram's Head, but they share a pretty similar tonality and Gilmourish does seem to enjoy the Triangle for those kinds of tones. When I find the perfect formula I will post a recipe if anyone is interested.
A very sincere thank you! More of an overdrive sound to it than the thick fuzz than some versions have. A clone is often the best buy. Note the component values are different from one Muff to another, giving each a slightly different sound. You might also want to adjust the settings on your amp a tad. The Muff has a lot of gain, which is in essence a very compressed tone so too high settings would only create a less dynamic tone. Mike Matthews has stated that he personally hand wired a few thousand of the very first production Big Muffs and that he still has a copy of an order for a Triangle Big Muff he sold to Carlos Santana in 1971 see scan below. I have one for my Laney Cub and it sounds amazing even on the very lowest volume levels.
Here I come again, looking for your wisdom! The Red Muck may appear a bit thin and flat on its own but opens up for a wide range of tones in combination with a booster. Like the other Vick Audio Muffs, the 1861 has a 3-way toggle for adding more mid range that allows the pedal to cut through more. I will be going abroad to study very soon and so will either buy a Laney Cub or a Blues Jr to have in my room. Most amps have a neutral setting with the controls around noon but you might want to tweak the controls to taste. Perhaps a bit too much mid range for my taste but it handles most of the typical Gilmourish pedals nicely. New models would sometimes feature old parts and there were a lot of so-called transition models. | 2019-04-21T12:55:29Z | http://swissmobilitysolutions.com/kit-big-muff.html |
Ukraine's president said his nation was not only defending itself from Russian aggression but also Europe as a whole as he gave a speech during a military parade to mark the 27th anniversary of Ukrainian independence Friday.
Petro Poroshenko said the Ukrainian army was one of the best in the world and highlighted its role reinforcing Nato's eastern frontier with Russia, a region that for the last four years has been a bloody theater of conflict between pro-Moscow insurgents and Ukraine's armed forces.
The former business magnate also used the occasion to hammer home his country's aspirations to join the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance, both of which have condemned Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea in the aftermath of the Ukrainian revolution and the flight of Russophile former president Viktor Yanukovych.
Poroshenko also pressed for a schism between the Russian and Ukrainian Orthodox churches as another measure to stem Russia's influence in its smaller western neighbor.
The United States National Security Advisor John Bolton was in attendance and met with the Ukrainian president.
Around 4,500 soldiers and 250 military vehicles took part in the parade.

Don’t know about you, but I always had a thing for Christmas pajamas even tho I’m not a big pajamas person. And after my girl was born, this escalated. Now that she is older and just getting into the whole Christmas spirit, we have so much fun finding and afterwards wearing them in the Holiday season. So I guess we just made a new Holiday tradition.
If you are in the search for the most adorable pieces on the market, I rounded up some of our favourite unisex ones from this year.
Rugby stripe Holiday onesie from Burt’s Bees: I love that Burt’s Bees pajamas are made of organic cotton plus they look plain enough for the minimalists too. Another plus that the brand offers matching pjs for adults as well.
Book to Bed Pajamas and Book Set: Holiday pajamas that comes with a book. What a great idea! This way you can dress to your bedtime story. It also comes in a few different colours.
Carter’s Santa Claus Christmas Holidays Pajama Set: In my opinion Carter’s always makes the greatest pjs for kids. I love the Christmas editions a lot, so you can guess how many we own.. Ooops. Comes in a set of 4 pieces perfect for a mix’n’match.
Jammies For Your Families Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer Microfleece Footed Pajamas: Every kid loves Rudolf, so why not dress like him? This micro fleece footed pajamas is perfect for those who can’t keep their throws on during the night just like my daughter.
The Gift Pod Christmas Pajama Set: A classic 2 piece flannel version with elastic waistband. On sale right now!
Baby Starters Christmas Reindeer Coverall Pajamas: This might not be the best option for night, but I just felt in love with it. I think the cute reindeer details are adorable and it has a snap leg closure for easy diaper change.
Carters Gray Santa Claus Christmas Pajama Set: Carter’s again. A soft cotton, snuggle fit will always work.
Carters Santa’s Helper Christmas Pajama Set: … and again. This penguin print is the best. Also on sale!
Baby Starters Christmas Plaid Button-Front Shirt & Pants Pajama Set: And a button-down plaid one finally with the the classic red and green. It works both for girls and boys.
Burt’s Bees Baby Holiday Pajamas: organic cotton here as well. Not the classy Christmas one, but the print still reminds me of snowflakes and winter.
Did you find the perfect one already? Do you do the Holiday Pj trend with your little ones? | 2019-04-19T14:17:15Z | http://styledbymeshy.com/the-cutest-holiday-pajamas-for-kids/ |
Below is a small sampling of my recent photography, which I’ve also added to my portfolio on this site. I use a Canon 50D as well as a variety of lenses. I feel that it is imperative for all multimedia journalists to have a good understanding of photography and of what makes a picture “good” or “interesting.” Feel free to comment or to contact me directly if you would like to see additional samples of my work.
Constructive criticism and suggestions are also welcome!

The length of the burn might have been visible for a longer period of time but since I was in my car, we only witnessed the last two and a half seconds as it past down through the view of my windsheild.
My wife and I were in a parked vehicle with the windows up, so no sound was available to us.
My observation was the last two and a half seconds of it\'s life, it was a solid fireball slightly larger than the width of it\'s train. The fireball went out and the train/trail broke up with sparkles at the end of it\'s train as it burned out.

Teams woke up to a 20 degree drop in temperature from previous day and a rather strong wind - front came through late Friday and made conditions tough. At launch time winds were already at 14 and gusting to 20 from the west which had the river rolling and it never let up.
Some teams were not able to fish areas they had previously found good fish in but others made the adjustments and still managed some good fish today. A couple of teams ended up in the far end of creeks while some toughed out the flats and fought the wind all day long.
The good news is everyone made it safely back to weigh in and all the teams had fish to weigh.
1st Place - Keith and Darrell with 6.19 lbs they also had big fish today with 1.84 lb slab. The team was using 14' BnM Crappie Poles lines with 6# Vicious Hi-Vis line rigged with 1/16oz Road Runner head and Lake Fork Live Baby Shad. Fishing under corks in 4-8 foot of water.
2nd Place went to Jon Cammon with 5.97 lbs, he was also using BnM Crappie Poles in 10-12 foot of water.
3rd Place ....you guessed it - Joe Lambert and his team partner Chuck Hellums with 5.88 lbs. They were also pushing corks in 4-8 foot of water and appeared to be having way too much fun:) We welcome Chuck to the club and look forward to him fishing with us this year.
We can't thank our sponsors enough for all their support. Thank You to BnM Crappie Poles, Tennessee Valley Marine, Vicious Fishing, Lake Fork Tackle, Slider Crappie Jigs and Road Runner for your love and support of this great sport.
The sport lost a great man and ambassador of the crappie world a few weeks ago and anyone that had the opportunity to meet and fish with him knows that he just flat-out loved to fish and would listen to what the fishermen needed as far as baits. TJ Stallings of Blakemore Road Runner will be missed greatly by all who knew him. We'll leave with TJ's favorite saying.....

1. Lighting – the general rule of thumb is to light 3 of the 4 corners. Ideally, you should use three different kinds of lighting (i.e. a table lamp, floor lamp and a light focused on an object or piece of art work).
2. Live plants – Simple, structural greenery in an attractive pot is timeless. I recently read THIS interesting article about the benefits of houseplants.
3. Candles (out of reach of little hands and paws) give off soft light and great smell. What’s not to love?
7. Keep a basket for clutter creep nearby- Things that don’t belong will, inevitably, find their way in, but you can just toss those things in a basket until you have time to deal with them.
8. Keep toss pillows and throw blankets handy. A storage ottoman is a perfect hiding spot for these. | 2019-04-18T22:58:51Z | https://confessionsofatypeahousewife.com/tag/plants/ |

As I explained in my last post, practising the final skill over and over again does little to develop the final skill. Experts in any field won’t simply have practised the final skill in isolation: they will have spent a large chunk of time being drilled in the skills that underpin and lead up to the final skill. So why are teachers often tempted to ask their pupils to answer practice exam questions every lesson?
Writing a paragraph or essay in every English lesson has a couple of drawbacks. Firstly, it sets kids up to fail. If they haven’t yet had enough practice of the skills underpinning essay writing, they will likely write something poor and imprecise. When kids write things like “He uses a rhetorical question to make the reader think” or “She uses alliteration to make the reader read on” it’s not – contrary to popular belief- because one of their previous teachers told them that would be a good thing to write. No teacher in the history of the universe has ever said that. No, kids write things like that because they have no idea what else to say, and in their admirable attempt to try hard and impress you, they write the first thing that comes into their heads. Why waste their time on this? Instead, they first need more focused practice on the skills and knowledge that underpin essay writing.
Secondly, writing a paragraph or essay every lesson isn’t always helpful for the teacher. Particularly when the whole class seem to have flunked their essays, it’s so hard for a teacher to know exactly what to give feedback on, and exactly what to re-teach or which misconceptions to clear up. Instead, teachers need precise feedback that guides them as to what to do next.
So how might we go about this? How can we get pupils to practise the right things? And how can we ensure that teachers are given the most precise and useful information about their pupils’ progress and areas for development?
Here are a few things we do in the Michaela English department. (Sadly these are all English specific, but perhaps teachers of other subjects could offer alternatives that suit their subjects).
In an aside, Macbeth reveals his intentions to deceive: ‘stars hide your fires’.
In act 3 scene 1, Macbeth’s evil deepens. List three events prior to this where Macbeth’s evil is shown.
In act 3 scene 1, Macbeth’s evil deepens. List three events that occur before or after this in which Lady Macbeth’s evil is shown.
This enables them to make connections between scenes, and understand how authors develop characters and themes in the text as a whole.
Write down everything you can remember about Arthur Birling’s relationship with Eva Smith.
List 3 beliefs Priestley holds about society. Extension: add where these beliefs are best exemplified in the play.
Write down all the interactions Eva Smith had with the Birlings.
These activities test memory, of course, but they also give the teacher a sense of how much pupils know about specific topics. They tell you whether your class are ready to move on, can help to shine a light on misconceptions, and might provide a spring board on which to add further details about a particular idea or topic, as a way to deepen understanding.
Over time, you can build up from pupils knowing who’s who, to what they represent and the significance of their role in the play.
Which statement best fit Arthur’s character, and which best fit Sybil’s? Write an ‘A’ next to the statements you believe match Arthur, and an ‘S’ next to the statements that match Sybil.
Again, this activity would tell you a lot about what your pupils understand about the text and the writer’s intentions. You could also have an interesting conversation about option 3 as arguably this applies to both characters. Either way, this prompts some deep thinking about the text.
What I particularly like about these questions is that they really force pupils to think about their answers. They have to draw on their knowledge of the plot, characters and ideas. These sentence stems also provide pupils with the opportunity to practise writing out the kinds of sentences they might have to write in an extended piece of writing later, but without having to worry about everything else. As ever, starting with sentence-level drills aids and supports writing further down the line.
These tasks alone won’t be enough to develop the skill of essay writing, but I think they are useful as they encourage us to start thinking about the most precise forms of practice to give pupils when they are learning how to write about texts. Rather than simply relying on paragraph or essay practice, we need to come up with cleverer ways to ensure pupils practise the right things and that teachers receive the most precise feedback. As ever, knowledge leads to greater and deeper knowledge, and helps to develop skills over time. Without the right kinds of practice, pupils are left without the tools required for developing the final skill. Continued practice of application and manipulation of knowledge is a crucial step in skill development: it simply cannot be overlooked. | 2019-04-20T00:43:25Z | https://mcsbrent.co.uk/precise-practice/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=precise-practice |

The Macri government’s decision, it said, was a result of the “complex political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela.
The Argentine government has gone one step further towards simplifying the legal requirements for Venezuelans to arrive and stay in the country.
The Macri administration on Wednesday authorised the so-called “Assistance to Venezuelan Migrants Programme” which is aimed to “facilitate the arrival to the territory, the regulation of their migratory condition and their social insertion into the community”.
The decision, the government said, was necessary because of the “complex political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis” in Venezuela, where opposition leader Juan Guaidó last week declared himself interim president with the support of the US, Argentina and other nations.
Venezuelans can now enter the country with a national ID document or passport with an expiry date of no less than two years. Children under the age of nine can enter the country via land borders in the company of their two parents and at the very least a birth certificate.
Among other changes, those Venezuelans wishing to obtain residency in Argentina will no longer be required to legalise their criminal record check and instead can verify it online or at the Venezuelan consulate in Argentina.
In 2016, Argentina loosened requirements for Venezuelans wanting to secure residency in the country by dropping pre-requisites for documentation.
Around 2.6 million people have left Venezuela since 2015, the United Nations’ International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports, of which 130,000 are currently living in Argentina, according to official data.
“If you imagine that millions of people are leaving Venezuela, then you understand how their system for producing legal documents is collapsing too. We see it in Migraciones where there is an inability among Venezuelans to provide complete documentation,” said Dr Horacio García, the Director of the National Migrations Direction, in an interview with the Times earlier this month. | 2019-04-21T15:17:07Z | http://batimes.com.ar/news/argentina/argentina-loosens-immigration-requirements-for-venezuelans.phtml |
Always use a measuring cup when feeding your dog not a coffee cup or mug.
Repeat every five days until dog reaches the desired weight. The full amount of food will vary depending on the dog. Most service dogs eat two cups of feed per day (measuring cups!).
Always feed a good quality food. Never leave the food down longer than ten minutes. If your dog does not eat his/her food in the time allowed pick the food up and only give him/her the food that was left from the last meal at the next feeding. Do not add food or feed the full amount. This will cause weight gain.

The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway traces its origin to the Louisa Railroad of Louisa County, Virginia, begun in 1836, and the James River & Kanawha Canal Company begun 1785, also in Virginia. The C&O of the 1950s and 1960s at its height before the first modern merger, was the product of about 150 smaller lines that had been incorporated into the system over time.
By 1850 the Louisa Railroad had been built east to Richmond and west to Charlottesville, and in keeping with its new and larger vision, was renamed Virginia Central. The Commonwealth of Virginia, always keen to help with “internal improvements” not only owned a portion of Virginia Central stock, but incorporated and financed the Blue Ridge Railroad to accomplish the hard and expensive task of crossing the first mountain barrier to the west. Under the leadership of the great early civil engineer Claudius Crozet, the Blue Ridge Railroad built over the mountain, using four tunnels, including the 4,263-foot Blue Ridge Tunnel at the top of the mountain, then one of the longest tunnels in the world.
While the Blue Ridge Railroad attacked the mountains, Virginia Central was building westward from the west foot of the mountains. It crossed the Great Valley of Virginia, The Shenandoah, and the Shenandoah range Great North Mountain, reaching a point known as Jackson’s River Station at the foot of Alleghany Mountain in 1856. This is the site that would later be called Clifton Forge.
To finish its line across the mountainous territory of the Alleghany Plateau known in old Virginia as the “Transmountaine”, the Commonwealth again chartered a state-subsidized railroad called the Covington & Ohio. This company completed important grading work on the Alleghany grade and did considerable work on numerous tunnels over the mountain and westward. It also did a good deal of roadbed work around Charleston on the Kanawha River. Then the War Between the States intervened, and work was stopped on the westward expansion.
During the Civil War the Virginia Central was one of the Confederacy’s most important lines, carrying food from the Shenandoah region to Richmond, and ferrying troops and supplies back and forth as the campaigns frequently surrounded its tracks. On more than one occasion it was used in actual tactical operations, transporting troops directly to the battlefield. But, it was a prime target for Federal armies, and by the end of the war had only about five miles of track still in operation, and $40 in gold in its treasury.
Following the war, Virginia Central officials realized that they would have to get capital to rebuild from outside the economically devastated South and attempted to attract British interests, without success. Finally, they succeeded in getting Collis P. Huntington of New York interested in the line. He is, of course, the same Huntington that was one of the “big Four” involved in building the Central Pacific portion of the Transcontinental Railroad, which was at this time just reaching completion. Huntington had a vision of a true transcontinental that would go from sea to sea under one operating management, and decided that the Virginia Central might be the eastern link to this system.
Huntington supplied the Virginians with the money needed to complete the line to the Ohio River, through what was now the new state of West Virginia. The old Covington & Ohio’s properties were conveyed to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in keeping with its new mission of linking the Tidewater coast of Virginia with the “Western Waters” of the Ohio River. This was the old dream of the “Great Connection” which had been current in Virginia since Colonial times.
On July 1, 1867 the C&O was completed nine miles from Jackson’s River Station to the town of Covington, seat of Alleghany County, Virginia. By 1869, it had crossed Alleghany Mountain, using much of the tunneling and roadway work done by the Covington & Ohio before the war, and was running to the great mineral springs resort at White Sulphur Springs, now in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. Here stagecoach connections were made for Charleston and the navigation on the Kanawha River and thus water transportation on the whole Ohio/Mississippi system.
During 1869-1873 the hard work of building through West Virginia was done with large crews working from the new city of Huntington on the Ohio River and White Sulphur much as the UP and CP had done in the transcontinental work, and the line was joined at Hawks Nest, WV on January 28, 1873.
Collis Huntington intended to connect the C&O with his Western and Mid-Western holdings, but had much other railroad construction to finance and he stopped the line at the Ohio River. Over the next few years he did little to improve its rough construction or develop traffic. The only connection to the West was by packet boats operating on the Ohio River. Because the great mineral resources of the region hadn’t been fully realized yet, the C&O suffered through the bad times brought on by the financial panic Depression of 1873, and went into receivership in 1878. When reorganized it was renamed The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Company.
During the ten years 1878-1888 C&O’s coal resources began to be developed and shipped eastward. In 1881 the Peninsula Subdivision was completed from Richmond to the new city of Newport News located on Hampton Roads, the East’s largest ice-free port. Transportation of coal to Newport News where it was loaded on coastwise shipping and transported to the Northeast became a staple of the C&O’s business at this time.
In 1888 Huntington lost control of the C&O. A reorganization without foreclosure resulted in his losing his majority interest to the Morgan and Vanderbilt interests, which installed Melville E. Ingalls as President. Ingalls was, at the time, President of the Vanderbilt’s Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati & Louisville, The “Big Four System”, and held both presidencies concurrently for the next decade. Ingalls installed George W. Stevens as general manager and effective head of the C&O.
In 1889 the Richmond & Alleghany Railroad, which had been built along the tow-path of the defunct James River & Kanawha Canal, was merged into the C&O, giving it a down grade “water level” line from Clifton Forge to Richmond, avoiding the heavy grades of North Mountain and the Blue Ridge on the original Virginia Central route. This “James River Line” remains the principal artery of coal transportation to the present day.
Ingalls and Stevens completely rebuilt the C&O to “modern” standards with ballasted roadbed, enlarged and lined tunnels, steel bridges, and heavier steel rails, as well as new, larger cars and locomotives.
In 1888 the C&O built the Cincinnati Division from Huntington down the South bank of the Ohio River and across the river at Cincinnati, connecting with the “Big Four” and other Midwestern Railroads.
From 1900 to 1920 most of the C&O’s line tapping the rich bituminous coal fields of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky were built, and the C&O as it was known throughout the rest of the 20th Century was essentially in place.
In 1910 C&O merged the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville Railroad into its system. This line had been built diagonally across the state of Indiana from Cincinnati to Hammond in the preceding decade. This gave the C&O a direct line from Cincinnati to the great railroad hub of Chicago.
Also in 1910 C&O interests bought control of the Kanawha & Michigan and Hocking valley lines in Ohio, with a view to connecting with the Great Lakes through Columbus. Eventually Anti-trust laws forced C&O to abandon its K&M interests, but it was allowed to retain the Hocking valley, which operated about 350 miles in Ohio, including a direct line from Columbus to the port of Toledo, and numerous branches southeast of Columbus in the Hocking Coal Fields. But there was no direct connection with the C&O’s mainline, now hauling previously undreamed-of quantities of coal. To get its coal up to Toledo and into Great Lakes shipping, C&O contracted with its rival Norfolk & Western to haul trains from Kenova, WV to Columbus. N&W, however, limited this business and the arrangement was never satisfactory.
C&O gained access to the Hocking Valley by building a new line directly from a point a few miles from its huge and growing terminal at Russell, KY to Columbus between 1917 and 1926. It crossed the Ohio River at Limeville, KY. to Sciotoville, Ohio, on the great Limeville or Sciotoville bridge which remains today the mightiest bridge every built from point of view of its load capacity. Truly a monument to engineering, but seldom commented on outside engineering circles because of its relatively remote location.
With the connection at Columbus complete, C&O soon was sending more of its high quality metallurgical and steam coal west than East, and in 1930 it merged the Hocking Valley into its system.
The next great change for C&O came in 1923 when the great Cleveland financiers, the brother 0. P. and M. J. Van Sweringen, bought controlling interest in the line as part of their expansion of the Nickel Plate Road NKP system. Eventually they controlled the NKP, C&O, Pere Marquette Railway in Michigan and Ontario, and Erie Railroads. They managed to control this huge system by a maze of holding companies and interlocking directorships. This house of cards tumbled when the Great Depression began and the Van Sweringen companies collapsed. But the C&O was a strong line and despite the fact that in the early 1930s over 50% of American railroads went into receivership, it not only avoided bankruptcy, but took the occasion of cheap labor and materials to again completely rebuild itself.
During the early 1930s when it seemed the whole country was retrenching, C&O was boring new tunnels, adding double track, rebuilding bridges, upgrading the weight of its rail, and rebuilding its roadbed, all with money from its principal commodity of haulage: Coal. Even in the hard years of the Depression coal was something that had to be used everywhere, and C&O was sitting astride the best bituminous seams in the country.
Because of this great upgrading and building program, C&O was in prime condition to carry the monumental loads needed during World War II. During the War it transported men and materiel in unimagined quantities as the United States used the Hampton Roads Port of Embarkation as a principal departure point for the European Theater. The invasion of North Africa was loaded here. Of course coal was needed in ever increasing quantities by war industries, and C&O was ready with a powerful, well organized, well maintained railway powered by the largest and most modern locomotives.
By the end of the war C&O was poised to help America during its great growth during the decades following, and at mid-century was truly a line of national importance. It became more so, at least in the public’s eye through Robert R. Young, its mercurial Chairman.
Young got control of the C&O through the remnants of the Van Sweringen companies in 1942, and for the next decade he became “the gadfly of the rails,” as he challenged old methods of financing and operating railroads, and inaugurated many forward looking advances in technology that have ramifications to the present. He changed the C&O’s herald or logo to “C&O for Progress” to embody his ideas that C&O would lead the industry to a new day. He installed a well-staffed research and development department that came up with ideas for passenger service that are thought to be futuristic even now, and for freight service that would challenge the growth of trucking. Young eventually gave up his C&O position to become Chairman of the New York Central before his untimely death in 1958.
During the Young era and following, C&O was headed by Walter J. Tuohy, under whose control the “For Progress” theme continued, though in a more muted way after the departure of Young. During this time C&O installed the first large computer system in railroading, developed larger and better freight cars of all types, switched reluctantly from steam to diesel motive power, and diversified its traffic, which had already occurred in 1947 when it merged into the system the old Pere Marquette Railway of Michigan and Ontario which had been controlled since Van Sweringen days. The PM’s huge automotive industry traffic, taking raw materials in and finished vehicles out, gave C&O some protection from the swings in the coal trade, putting merchandise traffic at 50% of the company’s haulage.
C&O continued to be one of the most profitable and financially sound railways in America, and in 1963 started the modern merger era by “affiliating” with the ancient modern of railroads, the hoary Baltimore & Ohio. Avoiding a mistake that would become endemic to later mergers among other lines, a gradual amalgamation of the two lines’ services, personnel, motive power and rolling stock, and facilities built a new and stronger system, which was ready for a new name in 1972. Under the leadership of the visionary Hays T. Watkins, the C&O, B&O and Western Maryland became Chessie System, taking on the name officially that had been used colloquially for so long for the C&O, after the mascot kitten used in ads since 1934.
Under Watkins’ careful and visionary leadership Chessie System then merged with Seaboard System, itself a combination of great railroads of the Southeast including Seaboard Air Line Railway, Atlantic Coast Line, Louisville & Nashville, Clinchfield, and others, to form a new mega-railroad: CSX.
Today, CSX, after taking on 43% of Conrail, is one of four major railroad systems left in the country. It is still an innovative leader, true to its roots in Robert Young and “For Progress,” the Van Sweringens and their quest for efficiency and standardization, to George Stevens and his dedication to operating efficiency and safety awareness, back to Collis Huntington and his dreams of a transportation empire, and even back to those long forgotten Virginians who started it all to carry their farm produce to market in the 1830’s in a different world, the world before the Railroad.
The C&OHS has no railroad employee records or genealogical data available.
The C&O Tracks Magazine has some articles pertaining to C&O employees.

A new and conceptually simple data structure, called a suffix array, for on-line string searches is intro-duced in this paper. Constructing and querying suffix arrays is reduced to a sort and search paradigm that employs novel algorithms. The main advantage of suffix arrays over suffix trees is that, in practice, they use three to five times less space. From a complexity standpoint, suffix arrays permit on-line string searches of the type, "Is W a substring of A?" to be answered in time O(P + log N), where P is the length of W and N is the length of A, which is competitive with (and in some cases slightly better than) suffix trees. The only drawback is that in those instances where the underlying alphabet is finite and small, suffix trees can be constructed in O(N) time in the worst case, versus O(N log N) time for suffix arrays. However, we give an augmented algorithm that, regardless of the alphabet size, constructs suffix arrays in O(N) expected time, albeit with lesser space efficiency. We believe that suffix arrays will prove to be better in practice than suffix trees for many applications. | 2019-04-19T12:32:18Z | http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.105.6571&rank=2 |

Health authorities agree that anyone who needs ART should have access to it. Reaching that ambitious goal is challenging. According to the World Health Organization, 11.7 million people in low- to middle-income nations were on ART in 2013, thanks to a drop in drug costs. According to estimates, the cost of providing ART and support services to one person is now approximately $500 a year, down from nearly $1,100 in 2004. That price continues to fall.
Yet access to ART remains a dream for millions of people. The investment in fighting HIV/AIDS is unprecedented. Since 2010, the United States has spent more than $200 billion on domestic and international HIV efforts, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. But the recession in 2008 put pressure on financial resources. In some parts of Africa, clinics were closed and new patients were no longer accepted for treatment.
To keep up with demand for ART, we need to change our funding strategy. 2016 estimates from the South African Centre for Epidemiological Modelling and Analysis suggest that if an additional $22 billion above current levels is spent over five years ($4.4 billion per year) to implement test-and-treat in 21 African countries where the virus is widespread, HIV transmissions can be stopped and the epidemic can be ended. As part of its advocacy efforts, TTEA and other partners are exploring a range of funding options, including quantitative easing, to fully fund $22 billion for this humanitarian campaign. | 2019-04-18T23:20:12Z | http://ttea.info/proposal_issue.html |

Hi ! Lets chat about bikes and likes !!!!!!

The radioactive, complex mutagenic enzymes in the spider's blood that were transferred at the time of the bite triggered numerous body-wide mutagenic changes within Parker, granting him superhuman strength, speed, toughened flesh, and numerous arachnid-like abilities. Like many superhuman powers, the effectiveness of Spider-Man's abilities varies based on the author and the needs of the story.
It begins with an orphan named Peter Parker, raised by his beloved Aunt May and Uncle Ben in Queens, New York. A quiet student, he works diligently at his studies and pines for the beautiful Mary Jane Watson. But this ordinary teenage boy is about to have his life turned upside down, when he is bitten by a genetically altered spider. Suddenly, he finds himself possessed of spectacular powers. He is now and forever Spider-Man!
When Peter joined The Future Foundation he was given a new costume by Sue Storm. The suit is made of third generation unstable molecules. It has basic default settings however, by concentrating Peter can change the suit's designs and color. Spidey, Ben, Sue, and Reed will work along with other members of The Future Foundation to protect the Marvel Universe from its greatest future threats.
The police, led by Jean DeWolff, arrive too late to save Spider-Man from a massive beating but in time to kill Sandman. The Crime Master escapes, but Spider-Man has managed to link him with TFONG. A severely injured Spider-Man goes to Felicia to recover. The following day she forces him to leave before the arrival of her other man — the unmasked Crime Master. Felicia questions him too much, and he determines that she has been seeing Spider-Man. In fury, he attacks her with a shard of mirror. He gets a call from the leader of TFONG, telling him to shut Ellis Island down before they all get caught. Spider-Man goes to Ellis Island himself and finds Robbie, but was too late as Octavius had already drilled into his frontal lobe, leaving him motionless.
In this Batsuit, the fins on the sides of Batman's gauntlets are now retractable and are capable of firing outwards as projectiles. The chest emblem is smaller than the original, and separated in half across the pectorals. Furthermore, this suit also has a built-in retractable 'memory cloth' cape that can be stored in compartments behind the shoulder blades. Though this function was only ever used once when scaled a vantage point in China.
Peter's life did not get any easier after his wedding. As soon as he returned from his honeymoon, he was attacked by Kraven the Hunter in one of the most traumatizing events in both Peter and MJ's lives. Kraven was seeking to regain the honor that his family had lost and to do so, he must prove his superiority over his greatest foe, Spider-Man. After ambushing him, Kraven shot Peter in the head with a rifle and buried him on his grounds. Kraven donned a black Spider-Man costume and became a merciless vigilante. He even defeated Vermin, a villain Spider-Man could not defeat on his own. After two weeks, it was revealed that Spider-Man was actually alive and Kraven shot him with a tranquilizer. Peter eventually made his way to Kraven's estate and brutally pummeled the hunter. Kraven was unconcerned as he has proven his superiority over his foe before and so he set the Vermin free. After Spider-Man left Kraven to capture Vermin, Kraven killed himself.
Carlie Cooper: She is an officer of the NYPD's Crime Scene Unit and ex-best friend of Harry Osborn's ex-girlfriend, Lily Hollister. She had also been friends with Gwen Stacy. At Harry Osborn's goodbye party Peter asks her to be his girlfriend and the two share their first kiss. However they break up after Spider Island due to surmising that Peter was Spider-Man, and was angry that he'd lied to her. Carlie eventually left New York for her own safety.

Now it was time for [John Romita, Sr.] to introduce a new Spidey villain with the help of [Stan] Lee. Out of their pooled creative energies was born the Rhino, a monstrous behemoth trapped in a durable rhinoceros suit.
While in an ESU laboratory, Peter invented a white & blue suit that was made of steel plates that were from a pseudo-metallic composition using a modified webbing formula. He used this costume during the "My enemy's enemy" story where he fought Blood Rose, Gauntlet and the heavily armed New Enforcers. The costume was destroyed by acid during the battle and was never rebuilt. Despite providing Spider-Man with increased durability and strength, it slowed down his movements.
If you want to make your Halloween costume something no one will ever be able to forget, add some incredible accessories! There are lots of different ways to add to your style. If you're dressed as a superhero, get weapons, gloves, boot tops, capes, and masks. If you're getting ready to battle the Sith as a powerful Jedi, or want to try the Kessel run as a smooth-talking smuggler, you can get lightsabers, blaster pistols, and helmets. There are lots of generic items you can use for almost any look, like solid-color capes, skin suits, hats, and boots, to help you create a look all your own.
Spider-Man has had a large range of supporting characters introduced in the comics that are essential in the issues and storylines that star him. After his parents died, Peter Parker was raised by his loving aunt, May Parker, and his uncle and father figure, Ben Parker. After Uncle Ben is murdered by a burglar, Aunt May is virtually Peter's only family, and she and Peter are very close.
In this new series Spider-Man is voiced by Drake Bell (who played a spoof of the character in the parody film "Superhero Movie"). At the start of the show, Peter is recruited by Nick Fury to join the SHIELD organization in order to learn how to become a better hero. The series highlights the more technological side of the character, and showcases various gadgets and vehicles such as the Iron Spider suit. He leads a team of teenage heroes consisting of Nova, White Tiger, Power Man and Iron Fist, while other characters like Amadeus Cho, Agent Venom and Ka-Zar appear as the series progressies. Alternate versions of Spider-Man like Miles Morales, Spider-Ham, and Spider-Man 2099 all made their animated debuts in the third season.
Another great choice for movie fans, Jim Carrey's performance as The Riddler in 1994's Batman Forever was like a role the actor was born to play. And no matter if you employ the exaggerated mannerisms of Carrey's Riddler, or prefer a more stoic type super criminal, this authentic jumpsuit costume will have you ready to go toe-to-toe with Batman. This officially licensed costume is the perfect choice for the guy who enjoys a good pun!
Being a superhero doesn’t give you a ton of down time, but if you find your kids have a few moments to spare, it’s likely an opportune time for a candid shot. You’ve worked on making sure they know to look serious while they’re in costume, so let them show their stares towards the camera while they have their hands against their hips. The bold logos featured on the chest of the boy’s costume will be on full display and any onlookers will feel a surge of reassurance when they see that this trio of heroes are on the scene and ready for action!
Turn up the fun for your son’s night of trick-or-treating with one of Spirit’s boys TV and movie Halloween costumes. These officially licensed outfits will have him looking like he stepped straight off the big or small screen as one of pop culture’s most popular characters. These costumes are some of the most coveted because everyone at school and in the neighborhood will know exactly who he’s dressed as, from The Cat in the Hat to Kylo Ren. Our children’s Godzilla inflatable costume has a tail and appropriately angry face that will delight everyone who sees it. Dress as a hero in a classic Ghostbusters jumpsuit that will have you ready to take care of any kind of pesky paranormal activity going on. Finish the look by carrying around your handy P.K.E. Meter and wearing your Ecto Goggles!
If you're a guy, you probably spend most nights quoting your favorite movies, telling the latest jokes or mimicking superheroes, whether or not your properly dressed for the occasion. That's why Halloween is the perfect night for men. Is there another holiday where you can dress up like Bender and talk about your shiny metal posterior? And what other night can you dress up like a pirate captain and swing a sword around? What other night can you wear a cape, a Batman costume, all while pretending to fight crime, without the police getting involved. That's right, Halloween might be the best thing that's ever happened to men across the world, so you'd better make the best of it in one of our men's costumes.

I’ve had it for a while now… That nagging feeling when it comes to my styling skills… I’m not a stylist by any means and while it would be lovely to have my food styled by either Alexandra or Caroline every day, in real life that is just not an option and I have to do it mysef ofcourse.
And I learned quite a bit over the years. Mostly by doing it a lot and by looking at the work of people I admire such as Meeta or Peter of Souvlaki voor de soul. Totally different in style from me but you can learn lot from someone elses work by looking at it and not necessarily by copying their style. That is not what this is about. But looking at other people’s work you get a sense of how they play with props, placement of cutlery, texture of backgrounds and such.
But lately I feel like I’m just repeating the same trick over and over. It is therefore time for a change, something new. A change in style or at least a variation. And that is not so simple really. So it seemed a fun experiment to make 1 dish and style it in two different ways. Once in my usual way and one completely different. For the other style I got inspired while browsing through the most recent edition of Donna Hay magazine. And no I am not talking about the clean style she is know and loved for, because Donna has more sides too. And you can clearly see that in the magazine more than in the books. Which makes sense as that is not only worked on by miss Donna but by an entire team with stylists and photographers. So Donna it is.
The photo you see above is kind of my ‘standard’ style. Not too much fuss, light and bright, salad, some cutlery and done. Nothing wrong with that but I wanted something else. I think part of the problem is that I don’t take enough time to think about it. And the fact that I did think about it this time already made a difference.
And while we’re at it; below you can see what the salad looked like before styling it. I always take the various components with me into the studio or whereever it is I am taking the photo. The dressing for the salad is a mustard dressing (in the red bowl) and you don’t want to go and stir it all through straight away because it will not look very charming. The cashews are already in the salad but I brought some extra in case I wanted to use them as decoration (I didn’t except for snacking on it) and the thyme is for decoration. In the blue bowl are the pieces of apple that are still to be added to the salad.
The photos in Donna’s Magazine all had a bit of a kitchen feel with things in the background that told a story so I tried to replicate that feeling a bit. Did I succeed entirely? It’s ok but I kind of feel it is lacking something. Regardless of looks, the salad itself was delicious. I had seen a salad like this in the Green Kitchen book and I changed it a bit around to suit my needs and wishes.
Cook the quinoa according to package instructions with two stock cubes (making sure you have at least 1 ltr of water) and leave to cool.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in quarters or halves (depending on size) and cut and prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Prepare the dressing by mixing the ingedients together and stir this well until it becomes one.
And for easy comparison I have the two styles side by side below! Let me know your thoughts!
What a fabulous idea to challenge oneself! But I guess you already knew that I would love this idea 🙂 And what I really love about your results is that you even used the same dishes and cutlery but still the images look so different and I just love them both!
Thanks so much Eva! Yes I think it’s always fun to challenge one self as much as possible.
I do love your styling Rosa. You have your own unique style!
I took a class with Peter G two years ago in Adelaide. What a wonderful man he is. So down to earth, friendly and helpful.
I think your photos are brilliant. They aren’t Donna Hay, they aren’t the delightful Meeta nor are they moody like Peter’s. They are you – you do have your own style and I love it.
Thanks Maureen and thank you Simone! I love what you do Simone but I get that you want to ocasionally change things up. I like both versions to be honest.
Thanks so much Peter! And good to know you like both versions!
Thanks so much Wendy, much appreciated!
Ditto on Maureen’s comment to you!
The first photo, I could NEVER do. It held me – and I came back to it a few times.
You actually have a pretty distinctive style, IMO. One that’s pretty good. It’s fun to play with other ideas, of course, and I don’t do that nearly often enough. And your “kitchen” photo looks great! But I really prefer your “normal” style.
Thanks so much John. I guess it’s hard to say from yourself that you have a certain style really. Other people apparently see that better than I do! Glad to hear your prefer my regular style though!
I totally love your style Simone. It’s clean and fresh – but I can understand the feeling of getting stuck in a rut. I think I should assign the challenge too. When I return from the Venice workshop I think I will give it a go. Should be gun. I really like the new remake of the image too. Cool stuff!
I love both pictures because they tell different stories and you know that I know what you mean when it comes to getting stuck in a rut 😉 But I have to admit I prefer your style, in my eyes it is unique and speaks for itself. But anyway, we should practice and I would love to join you the next time.
I love your style, which is totally expressed in the first photo (beautiful!). It works really well and it’s in your “comfort zone”, your tried and tested method of taking lovely photos. The second one is gorgeous too, but perhaps you find it lacking because it’s outside that zone! I imagine every style needs time and practice, so switching to something new might feel wrong in the beginning. I’m saying all this hypothetically, as I am still somewhere in my food photographer infancy 🙂 Great post!
Thanks Eleni. Yes I guess trying something new might feel a bit weird as it is indeed not in my comfort zone but I love trying out new stuff so there will be more of that!
…need to challenge myself too.
Thanks Terra! Yes the recipe is definitely delicious!
Really interesting walk through of your processes Simone, and I too love the 1st & 3rd images especially. | 2019-04-25T04:51:26Z | https://insimoneskitchen.com/styling-remake-quinoa-salad/ |
Police officers in Lexington, Kentucky said they had “no words” after a Krispy Kreme truck fire sent dozens and dozens of delicious donuts up in a smoke on New Year’s Eve. In a now-viral tweet posted Monday, the cops can be seen “grieving” at the scene of the tragic donut accident, and well, we can’t blame them.
The incident occurred around midday on December 31, 2018. The Krispy Kreme truck’s driver noticed smoke coming from the vehicle and immediately called 911, according to a local news report. He was able to safely escape the blaze, but his payload of Krispy Kreme donuts was not so lucky.
It’s unclear how many donuts were lost in the mysterious fire, but any squandered sugary treat is a tragedy. The Lexington Police Department shared their devastation online, posting photos of forlorn patrolman burying their faces in their hands and frowning in front of the blackened truck of extra crispy Krispy Kreme donuts.
Other local constabularies were quick to get in on the action, sending words of consolation to the Lexington Police Department.
“This literally hurts my soul. Prayers to LPD as they deal with this loss. #IDonutThinkWeCanRecoverFromThis,” the Louisville Police Department commented.
Even the NYPD responded, saying they’re sending some backup… with sprinkles.
The laughable display from the Lexington Police Department earned them some free donuts, courtesy of Krispy Kreme. The donut dealers said they planned to have fresh donuts delivered to the station on Tuesday. | 2019-04-23T09:55:23Z | https://www.thrillist.com/news/nation/cops-mourn-krispy-kreme-donuts-lost-truck-fire |

Basement water proofing is one of the most important home improvements you can make. Just like preventing water from coming in through your roof, preventing water and moisture coming in through the foundation, will increase the value of your home. Home buyers are very skiddish about water in basements and is often one of the first areas of concern they express.
Today, there are very real measures we take to prevent seepage and a damp smell that so many basements have. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. Many older homes did not properly provide for water drainage around the foundation because basements were not finished and were primarily used for storage. Today, they are often finished adding additional living space to the home’s footprint. That’s why you may be having water issues in your basement.
To create proper drainage from the ground surrounding your foundation, we use 5 methods. You may already have 1 or 2 of these in place and may still be experiencing water penetration. If so, consider adding more options to make your home drier.
Pipes or gravel placed inside the trench will create a barrier with the foundation.
Leaders need to be angled properly so water moves away from house.
This type of drain removes water from the yard.
Installing sump pumps keeps water from rising around the foundation. | 2019-04-24T10:08:14Z | https://mjharrisroofing.com/additional-services/water-proofing/ |

An electric power steering (EPS or EPAS) is designed to provide assistance to the driver of a vehicle by way of reducing effort on the electric motor. Most of the power steering systems are designed to give variable assistance i.e. a higher support when the speed of a vehicle decreases and lower assistance when the vehicle takes a higher speed. An intricate balance of power and control is necessary to make this possible and recently the kind of functionality has been readily available to the manufacturers.
An EPS system is different from the HPS systems as it does not require a hydraulic pump that is belted into the engine. Here the electric motor gets its power from the vehicle’s alternator which is belted into the engine.
The biggest advantage of having an EPS system is that it is activated only when required. In fact with an EPS a vehicle can achieve up to 3 % improvement in fuel economy in comparison vehicle a vehicle equipped with a with conventional HPS system..
The main reason why automobiles have power steering systems is that they cause reduction in the input force needed to turn or steer a vehicle. The EPS mainly consists of a steering mechanism that is linked with a steering wheel via a steering shaft and detects a steering torque applied to the steering wheel with the help of torque sensor. There is a motor to assist operations of the steering mechanism.
The function of the torque sensor is to convert the torsional torque of the steering shaft to an analog signal and finally output it to the electronic control unit (ECU). The torque is generated by the steering of a steering that is linked to the steering shaft. The analog to digital circuit does the job of converting the analog signals to the corresponding digital values in the ECU. The motor is driven according to the steering torque that is detected by the sensor, thus reducing the steering force that the driver needs to apply.
Another important component of the system is the power-steering fluid that transmits the power in your car’s power steering system. Just like the other fluids in your car you need to service the power steering fluid that involves draining it and then add fresh fluid.
It is recommended you do not assess the value of the power steering fluids based on its cost. In fact it could be the cheapest among all the fluids that go into your car’s systems. However the fluid is very important for the safety of your car. It requires minimum maintenance too.
You must change it on schedule to improve the life of other power-steering components. This will definitely save a lot in on the maintenance of the power-steering pump and the power-steering rack. | 2019-04-26T06:09:27Z | https://neworleansautorepair.net/car-care-services-new-orleans-oil-change/power-steering-system-car-care-new-orleans/ |
With ten days to go until the Marrakesh Rookie Test, the official entry list has been confirmed, featuring young talents and experienced drivers, proving once again Formula E's ever growing popularity in motorsports.
Drivers from a variety of series will be in Marrakesh, Morocco, next Sunday 14th January, to have their first taste of Formula E, as they take part in the rookie test.
The test, to be held at the Circuit International Automobile Moulay El Hassan, will feature two drivers per team, who will participate in two sessions throughout the day.
Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler was one of the first teams to confirm their lineup, with DTM racer Nico Müller, teaming up with junior series' star Nyck de Vries. In dialogue with Just Electric, Müller expressed his opinion on testing at a street course “There’s no room for errors and an additional bit of precision in your driving is needed”.
It was known by late 2017 that Venturi's third driver Michael Benyahia would be one of the two drivers to jump into one of the seats; with the other being occupied by 2005 DTM champion Gary Paffett, who currently drives for Mercedes in the German touring car championship.
Dragon Racing announced their lineup last December, with Italy's Andrea Caldarelli teaming up with Maximilian Günther. The latter looked enthusiastic ahead of this new venture when talking to Just Electric “[It's] great to confirm that I will be testing Formula E at the beginning of 2018. It will be a new challenge, thanks to Dragon Racing for this opportunity. I'm really looking forward to it”.
James Rossiter and Fédéric Makowiecki will test for TECHEETAH. Rossiter has already taken part in the pre-season testing in Valencia, whilst this will be Makowiecki's first time at the wheel of a Formula E car.
Andretti will feature IndyLights' latest champion Colton Herta and DTM 2012 season winner Bruno Spengler. The young American competed with Andretti in the ladder to the IndyCar series last 2017, whereas the Canadian has been driving for BMW since 2012 in the German championship.
Before the official entry list being confirmed, three teams had officially confirmed their lineups. Panasonic Jaguar Racing will have Pietro Fittipaldi and Paul di Resta testing for them. Rumours have been finally confirmed that the young Brazilian will test for the British outfit.
WEC star Harry Tincknell will be joined by Alexandre Imperatori -who raced for many years on the LMP1 Privateer class; in the NIO garage. The Swiss was at Hong Kong with the Chinese team and has been key on the testing of their latest road car. Tincknell will test a Formula E for the second time on his career, as he had been behind the wheel of the Jaguar car prior to the start of S3.
DS Virgin Racing confirmed earlier this week Joel Eriksson's participation in the rookie test; and Ferrari's third driver Antonio Giovinazzi has been announced as the occupant of the second seat. The British squad has gone for a young and strong lineup for the testing held in Moroccan soil.
Reigning Teams' Champions Renault e.dams will have Formula 2 driver Alexander Albon and Mitsunori Takaboshi testing for them in Marrakesh. The latter is linked to Nissan, manufacturer that will take over the French team at the start of S5.
After testing for the Indian squad ahead of Season 4, Spain's Daniel Juncadella will be with Mahindra Racing once again, at a test he will share garage with Belgium's Sam Dejonghe.
This is Formula E's first ever collective rookie test, after having collective testing in the off-season periods and a testing session after both the 2014 and 2015 Punta del Este ePrix. | 2019-04-22T08:06:49Z | https://www.just-electric.org/2018/01/04/marrakesh-rookie-test-entry-list-confirmed/ |

The Indian Navy has successfully completed the maiden test-flight of the first indigenously designed and developed fourth-plus generation naval light combat aircraft (LCA) prototype.
The test was conducted at the ski-jump facility of the shore-based test facility at INS Hansa, Goa.
DDR&D DG DRDO secretary Dr Avinash Chander said: "With today's copybook flight of LCA-navy from the land based ski-jump facility, we see our own indigenous combat aircrafts soon flying from the decks of our aircraft carriers."
Designed to operate from the decks of aircraft carriers, the LCA's stronger landing gears take in forces exerted by the ski-jump ramp during take-off, and enable it to be airborne within 200m, compared to a 1000m requisite for conventional runways.
"The aircraft has a special flight control mode that enables hands-free take-off, reducing the pilot workload."
The Indian Defence Ministry said in a statement: "The maiden successful picture-perfect launch of NP1 is a testimony to the tremendous efforts put in by scientists and engineers to design the naval aircraft, its simulator [that helps pilots to know well in advance how the aircraft will behave on ski-jump] and the flight test team that timed the whole event to near perfection."
The aircraft has a special flight control mode that enables hands-free take-off, reducing the pilot workload.
The navy is awaiting the LCA-2 aircraft, which is expected to include a more powerful engine. | 2019-04-21T06:06:27Z | https://world-defense.com/threads/indian-navy-tests-indigenously-built-light-combat-aircraft.358/ |

Riley�s �A �Sense of Drift�: Adrienne Rich�s Emergence from Mother to Poet� is a model of rigour and thoroughness with respect to Rich�s actual historical impact and provides an excellent summary of Rich�s poetic development while integrating Of Woman Born into her... Of Woman Born -- The conclusion of Motherhood In Of Woman Born, Adrienne Rich effectively weaves her own story into a persuasive account of what it intends to be a mother within the bonds of patriarchal tradition.
An honorable human relationship- that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word "love"- is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other.
Adrienne Rich is one of the quintessential feminist writers of our time. This discussion is to examine Rich's book Of Woman Born: Motherhood as Experience and Institution.
If you want one book that tells the whole story of patriarchy, feminism, and religion in a relatively short readable form, poet Adrienne Rich's Of Woman Born is hard to beat. | 2019-04-20T05:14:15Z | http://thunderroadusa.com/tasmania/introduction-from-of-woman-born-adrienne-rich-pdf.php |

It seems I have been taking my sweet time in updating this blog of mine… Well, I was full of good intentions but it seems that time is just flying and that I can’t find much of it to complete the blog. So, here is what I will be doing below. I will be listing all the previous projects I have completed in chronological order. I don’t have the exact dates for each as these projects span about 15 years. I’ll put the years when I remember them.
This was my very first “serious” project to start making my own furniture. I only had a brand new bought table saw, the same I still own today – the Ridgid 10”. Everything for these pieces was done on that table saw. Again, this was my first serious project and I had not learned the famous “measure twice, cut once” rule. I therefore cut much more than once. I have to say that I learned quickly from the first few mistakes not to trust myself and take my time in measuring and cutting wood. You can see the major mistake in the lower drawer of the top chest not being the same size as the others. Essentially, of course, all three drawers were supposed to be the same size. Well, I’ll pretend that this was my design choice and we’ll leave it at that!
This piece of furniture was fairly big and unwieldy to work on. I’m happy to say that I had my father’s help on this one as, alone, it would not have been pretty. Fortunately, I had decided not to glue and screw some pieces in the armoire. I say fortunately because the weight of the thing was impressive with everything included. The box of drawers inside was removed as well as the top and doors.
The hinges I bought should not have been used on this piece of furniture. They are hanging hinges and I need to lift the doors to remove them making this an impossible process when you consider that the top actually overhangs the doors. So, once I completed it including varnish, everything was screwed in place and the doors were no longer coming off.
Empty garage of the new house.
These side tables were a fun little project to build. There were new techniques for me to learn and apply. The fun part was that I was making 4 in total. Two for me and two for my best friend. There isn’t much to say about these. Everything was pretty straightforward in the build. I took my time and they turned out great.
The original plan for this coffee table was to use it as a working desk. However, the height of my couch is not enough for the height of the table once open. Build was fairly straightforward with nothing of note to mention. The only problem that is dogging me to this day is making proper 45-degree cuts! I can’t seem to ever get these correct whatever I try.
I have stained this piece the same color that I used for the nightstand tables and bed. You can see that color here with my then baby (3 months old) Weimaraner, Kimiko.
As my woodworking was progressing apace, I was ending up with lots of smaller parts that I didn’t want to throw out “just in case…” I saw this in ShopNotes and decided to build it. I had a friend help me who was not used to woodworking and to whom the rule, nay, law, “measure twice, cut once” was unknown. We had fun as I would argue that some things seemed crooked and he’s assure me that they were straight and I’d challenge him to recalculate and he’d see there were actually mistakes. There was also my workbench that we built together that fit together magically however many mistakes we made. We’re still wondering how it actually all lined up properly. Well, I imagine that if you rout enough dadoes, you get a few that are ultimately aligned! I’m not showing that masterpiece but you can see it in the background of some pictures.
So, the wood station was put on big casters, as I need to have everything on wheels, as it is a garage that actually gets used for putting cars in as well as motorcycles at that time. It served its purpose well until I changed houses and had less space. It was destroyed and the wood reused where possible. Such is life.
This was the most challenging work I had done so far in my woodworking hobby career. There were a number of complications that I had never done before but the plans were clear and brilliantly made, especially for the lats. That was just brilliant and made everything much easier to assemble. The pictures show how it was done. For this project, I “had” to buy a few tools that have served me faithfully ever since.
Making the jig for the routing was a challenge in itself as it was incredibly important that everything be straight. I bought a new router kit – it came with a fixed and plunge base.
I then made the lats but they were slightly too proud so had to be put on the jointer to thin. Yes, you did see a brand new DeWalt planer in the background. This piece of equipment actually was taken out and used only about 3 years ago… for my home office project.
A friend introduced me to a high end furniture store and I saw this type of desk. I was quite impressed by it and the fact that it was very minimalist and clean lines. This is what I like in the furniture I build. I used the pictures I could see on the website and made the design in SketchUp. I had no idea of the actual size and thickness of the wood used so let’s just say that I over-engineered it. The vertical posts are 1.5” thick. This is being held up by a top cross beam that is bolted in the wall studs. The three posts hang off of this via a 45-degree cut in. I later went to the store and had a look at the actual desk. The original size of the posts is 5/8”… Mine is sturdy! 😉 The shelves slide in grooves cut into the posts and are held there by this over only 3”.
The desk is somewhat larger and deeper than the original design. I was thinking of adding small front legs to it but decided against it. I wanted to see how it would hold up. It’s holding up very well after a few years of use. Both desks are being used on a daily basis as we work from home.
I have build these custom made cabinets and hanging shelves for my best friend’s new house. She had an interior designer come and suggest various things for her to do to in her house’s upper level. Unfortunately, that designer not being a woodworker told my friend that it should be done in MDF… I hate that stuff. A profound hatred of it.
I made a design based on what she was telling me she wanted. She had seen my office furniture and really liked the free flow design and this is what she opted for her shelves. As everything “needed” to be done in MDF, I got a very good dust mask to start working. The whole project took me about 3 months to complete, including the paint job. As payment, she bought me the Fuji Q4 Gold. All the frustration and hatred of working with MDF evaporated when I started using the paint gun. What a complete and utter joy to use. And the speed! I just couldn’t believe it. Extremely fast and easy to use. Gave great coverage and I was able to complete this otherwise very long paint job in about 2 days. This is the tool that I use now for all staining and painting I need to do.
Epic fail! I need to redo this desk, at least the desk part. Well, it’s out there. I’m really unhappy with this desk. Here is what happened.
I laminated the boards using the conventional one up, one down configuration to ensure I would not get cupping. The frame was built according to my friend’s wishes and it needed to be very discrete. This meant that there would be pieces of wood that would server as a stretcher across the boards for the desktop. This resulted in an incredible curvature after 12 months of existence… I need to completely redo the top with the appropriate modifications. I think it will be easy to convince my friend that I need to put additional structures that will make the whole look a bit heavier but much more sturdy and the work surface will stay flat. I’m thinking that I could integrate metal in the cross-members so that it will be smaller but very sturdy.
So, that is it for all my past woodworking. I am slowing down on that front a bit as I have all the furniture I need. There may be some things that I will be redoing, for example the electronics and sound system cupboard that I built with crazily warped plywood.
I am now meddling in DIY electronics! I have built a pre-amplifier and am currently building an amplifier. The B24 from AMB.org. I’ve already built a pair of speakers, the Mini-Statements by Curt’s Speaker Design Works. I am currently building my second pair of speakers, the Ellam Flex 3W from Troels Gravesen. I will post pictures of the build when I am done with them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and happy holidays!
This is the second post of this series. I had promised that I would post regularly on this project… well, I guess it is once at the beginning and once at the end. I was also talking about procuring a new tool because of this project. Well, this hasn’t materialized yet. I had actually bought the tool, made the payment and then waited for 3 months before being told that the company had “lost” a container that contained said tools. I was reimbursed and not told anything about this anymore. I was told by the store where I had bought the tool that I had to call the company directly to know when they would get more tools. Talk about customer service… Let’s just say that I am reconsidering buying tools and wood from that place in the future. There are quite a few nice places around that actually care about the customer. Maybe it was just that one sales person, as I’ve had run ins with him in the past, maybe it’s the store who has changed over the years. I don’t know but let’s just say that I will diversify in the future. OK, enough of that. The tool seems to be back in stock and still on special so I may still be getting it.
I have received the wood from the mill. This wood comes from J.T.M. Sawmill in St-Lazare. A lot of wood was ordered for the project and I actually did not add the requisite 20%. I just needed to ensure that I did not make stupid mistakes. Measure twice cut once really applied here. I still made some minor mistakes but these didn’t have a big impact overall. More on that later.
When I ordered the wood, I was told that there would be a two weeks production delay. I then received the wood on time, considering I had to physically go there to inquire as my messages went unanswered and they didn’t call as they said they would. Although a good place with very nice people, they are understaffed and that means that getting answers takes a bit more time. They deal only in wood, which is very nice. They have a nice selection of the more common types. This is not a glitzy place at all contrary to where I used to buy wood.
I finally asked them to deliver the next Monday as I was going to be away on the Friday. I received almost everything on the Monday afternoon – was missing the desk top I had ordered. He came two days later with it, essentially after the storm that left about 40 cm of snow… While waiting for this, I started ripping and gluing up the boards for the shelves. I will need to research this process more as the results were not exactly what I was looking for. If anyone is willing to share his or her technique with me, I would be much obliged. I used biscuits to help line up the 8 foot boards and glued them together, reversing the grain to ensure that there would be minimal curvature. This seemed to work but there was some mismatch on the boards that required more sanding than I would like to do. I am thinking that I should do the glue ups prior to having the boards finished and then finish everything in the planer. Does that make any kind of sense? I’ll need to experiment with cauls and also maybe cut the planks to close to finished lengths and glue them like that. Or keep the lengths to a maximum of 4 feet. I don’t know. Following the glue-up, I cut all the shelves to rough size.
I then went on to the plywood cabinets, the biggest piece of this whole setup. I cut down the 4×8′ sheets to rough size and finished then on the table saw. You see here the setup I used with my Festool TS-55. Fairly simple setup and works really well. Spent a day cutting all the plywood to size. The one error I made was on the inside shelves for the corner cabinet. This mistake was not very bad as I had tons of spare plywood already available from prior projects. The next day was spent on biscuits and routing the panels for the base cabinet. The last day was for all the edge banding and adjustable shelving holes to be drilled. Sanding was done at the end of all this. Wipe down with wet rag, let dry and sand with very fine grit (220) and then everything was ready for varnish.
My painting station is also my garage as you can see. So, everything was set up as I normally do this step and I started varnishing the first set of pieces. I can only do 12 at a time due to space and setup. I am thinking on how I can update and upgrade that setup. I think I have a few ideas but suggestions are welcomed!
Varnishing was much longer than anticipated. It took me 2 full days with a paint gun and went through a full gallon of Varathane Diamond Wood Finish Satin. Lets just say that there is a lot of varnish on these parts. The very nice thing about my Fuji Q4 Gold is that it took only 6 minutes to apply a coat of varnish to all these pieces. This is a real time saver. The finish that I get is very smooth and nice. I love this kit. The process I use is I apply three coats of varnish with varying dry times between them. Typically, the second coat goes on about 30 minutes after the first one as the initial one dries very quickly. One hour later, the third coat goes on and that dries for at least 2 hours. I then sand everything down by hand using 220 grit sanding paper. I have used a different process for the shelves that will be used again in the future as it saved me tons of time. I then wipe everything down and give the fourth coat. This usually is the final one but for the top of the cabinets, I gave a light sanding and gave a fifth coat. The finish was amazing.
The next thing I did was to assemble the cabinets. This assembly included glue, biscuits and pocket hole joinery. It is fairly stable and strong. What was nice was to put in the pins and then slide in the shelves and see that everything fit just perfectly. Did I say I love SketchUp?
I then moved on to the doors for the cabinets. I cut the stiles to width and size and then set up the router table to cut the tenons and grooves. I don’t know how I ever lived without a router table. The setup was not too difficult to do and then I ran all the pieces at once. I did keep some wood templates for the next time I need to do doors. I’m really happy with the doors. They are amazingly straight and true. Really happy.
It was then time for the real work to begin. I had been putting this off for a while for fear of the magnitude of the task. I had designed these and knew, up to a certain point, the necessary steps to do. So, I eventually jumped in and started it. Now for a bit of background. When I got the wood from the mill, I complained that the 1.5” thick and 7” wide boards for the library posts were crooked. I had made it abundantly clear that it needed to be straight. They told me that for the type of material I wanted, it was near impossible to have it straight for the length required (8 foot boards). So, I took it and then ripped all of the boards to correct width. Unfortunately, I had not checked the thickness of the planks and they were actually thicker than 1.5” by about 1/8”. Well, that was a problem, a big one. More on that later.
I therefore ripped the wide planks to width. I got a nasty surprise. The wood, still somewhat straight, started warping. There was nothing to do for it I though. So, I ripped everything and then sorted through the crooked and straighter posts. I marked the curves seen on the pieces to try to figure out how I was going to assemble all of this together. The most crooked I put aside and checked that a 7” piece from these would be straight. These were used for the cross members of the libraries. I was less than happy. I ended up pairing the similarly curved posts so that, when the cross members were glued in between, the posts would see their curves nullified and I hoped I would end up with very straight library sides.
I cut all the cross members to size first and ended up with a very nice stack. I then started to set up the table saw with the dado to make the numerous cuts to fashion them to their final look. This was a very repetitive process once the setup was done. This may sound benign but I was actually very stressed by this section of work. As this process was very repetitive, I was afraid of paying less attention to what I was doing and have two things happen: messing up a bunch of pieces and loosing one or more fingers due to inattention. Well, I’m very good at scaring myself so I’m happy to say that there were no mishaps. As I was stacking up the small cross member pieces, I noticed that the stack was not perfectly straight as it should be. This is when I realized that the posts I had cut were not perfectly square! My lack of verifying the dimensions came back to bite me in the proverbial derrière. My width was dead on 1.5” but the thickness of the original material was more than that. I had to break out the planer and get all the pieces through. That is how I created rejects as the planer destroyed some of them. I also put all the long posts through. Unfortunately, the pieces were not perfect so I had to take that into account at assembly. This also meant that the tenons I had cut were not all exactly square and some had to be recut once the cross members were planed to size. Much additional work but I did not loose too much material overall. Let’s not forget I had not bought the extra 20% so couldn’t redo anything without additional delay.
Then came the mortises and the exacting calculations to ensure I put all the marks at the correct places. I calculated at least 5 times to make the final cuts. Everything went without a hitch. I was REALLY happy about that. What I thought would take only 2 days ended up taking 4.
I proceeded to dry fit everything to ensure proper alignment and practice how I would be doing this considering glue was going to be involved. I needed to be precise and fast. I dry fitted everything, looked at the alignment and hoped that the technique of matching opposite curves would make things end up straight. Well, the glue up went well. I had to fight with some pieces but overall, I was happy with how things went. As you can see, I put three or four libraries together for clamping and curing. I had to wait for the unclamping to see if things would be straight. It worked! I was really happy. Everything was straight, no curves, flat and gorgeous!
I moved on to the next scary part of this project, the shelves… I sanded them all down with my new toy, a Festool RO-150 FEQ. Wow! Is that tool the best ever sander! It has two settings, a rough sanding and a finish sanding. I used 80 grit sanding pads to make quick work of the misaligned boards and finished everything with 180 grit on fine orbital. Dust collection worked flawlessly in conjunction with the other toy, the CT-36. I now have a quiet(ish) dust extraction system for when I am sanding things. Unfortunately, I dropped my Osborne miter gauge on the floor and had to recalibrate it. There were a few shelves that ended up being cut crooked but I fixed it all. There weren’t too many that I cut into a parallelogram. I cut the lip on the shelves and tested them on some extra cross members. The last thing was cutting the shoulders on the shelves.
I varnished everything as I usually do but changed a component of the process. For the shelves, I decided to use my small Porter-Cable sander with a 220 grit paper instead of doing it by hand. Now, that was a great decision! Things went so much faster and that helped me make my weekend deadline. I also modified my holders to they could hold 5 shelves each, making it possible to varnish all 40 shelves in two days.
This project was officially finished on July 28th, 2013. It lasted a full 6 months, 4 months longer that intended. I learned many things while doing this project, many things about both myself and about the work processes. This project was the biggest I had ever taken on from the design perspective to execution to install. All steps were instructive and achievements in themselves. I have to say that I am extremely proud of this project. This is my second favorite. I loved it so much that I didn’t really want to deliver it when it was ready. I do hope it will live on for many years and that it will bring aesthetic pleasure to their new owners. I will still be able to go see it once in a while and am really looking forward to see it full of books.
Be well and enjoy what’s left of summer!
I just got my first contract to build bookcases and a desk for two rooms for a friend. These two items are my very first contracts. I am so excited and nervous.
I was discussing what I did with a friend and she was interested in knowing more. She wanted to get my thoughts on what kind of libraries I would see her office. My girlfriend and I had brunch at her place where we discussed her house and the extensive remodelling that went into it. It is truly a beautiful home.
While we were discussing things, I noticed a beautiful solid walnut library in their dining room. This thing was a least 14 feet long by about 9 feet high. The posts were 1.75″ square and the shelves 1.5″ thick. All solid walnut… Then they mentioned the table. Also solid walnut, about 2″ thick with 4″ legs. Let’s just say I had to pick my jaw up from the ground and take care of the puddle of drool that came out. These items are simply gorgeous.
We discussed what they would like and the general feel of the whole concept. It needed to be airy and light. Solid wood was important. The room where this is going is white with natural birch flooring. There is a lot of light that comes into this room. Again, airiness was paramount.
I worked on 6 different designs, from the boring looking to something a bit funky. What I also did was to recreate the dining room library look (pictures above). They loved it. This is what I will be tackling starting this week.
I have to say that I may have been a bit too present in sending them designs and revisions. They were very gracious and never told me to go away. One thing I took care of doing was to listen to their comments on the existing library in the dining room. I was also careful to look at the other libraries they had around the house and inquiring what they liked and disliked about these. This enabled me to provide them with the plans you see above as well as a twist to it that solves both a problem they have with the solid walnut one and a structural issue that I was having.
I devised the following locking system for the shelves. This provides both structural integrity and retention – all while giving a flat surface to put books on and the option of putting the shelves either at 12.75″ or 6″. I’ve already made a template to see if it would work and it does!
The next thing that I will be figuring out is how to make all these cuts as reproducible and exact as possible while minimizing the various change in setup of the table saw. The shelves will need to be all ready before I start putting the grooves in.
I was really pleased that they asked me to provide them with something similar for their son’s room which will eventually become a study. The son has been warned!
I will be updating the posts regularly as I progress with these two projects. I’m really looking forward in getting the ordered wood and be making sawdust! I’m also receiving a new toy for this project.
I have loved photography for many years now. I have considered myself to be something of a “purist” where I did not go for quantity with an electric motor, but more for quality, at least what I felt was quality for my expertise level. I bought the Toyo 45A in Toronto, at Vistek over 10 years ago. I used to own a F65, then a F80 which I gave to my friend and still own my F100. While I still was using these cameras, my favourite and most used was the Toyo. About 5 years ago, I bought a Hasselblad 501C Black Edition used but in mint condition. This camera was sold about 1 month ago. That was my 2nd go to camera.
I also sold my darkroom which had an Omega D5-XL enlarger in it and more developing tanks than I care to list here. Let’s just say that it was fully stocked. I spent many hours developing film and printing 20″ x 24″ prints, both B&W and Colour. Yes, colour. I loved it.
However, for the past 2 – 3 years, it was not getting used. None of my old school gear was getting used. It was collecting dust and giving me guilty feelings whenever I opened the closet door. I decided to post them on LesPac.com, an online classified website. I don’t think I asked enough for them as they sold the very next day. I’m more than happy to know that there are many “real” photographers still out there. Those that take the time to dive in chemistry and print something that smells and needs to dry. Knowing that someone will be fumbling with knobs under a dark cloth having people look at him funnily but with curiosity is really a good feeling.
I remember the days of carrying this smallish 5 pound camera on my back with film holders, at least 10 giving me 20 shots, a changing bag, sheet film and my tripod – metal, about 3 pounds. I went up what passes for mountains around here. Carried it to the top of “Les Draveurs” trail in “Parc National des Hautes-Gorges” or up “Parc National Les Grands Jardins” during my yearly trips there. The best times were when there would be people coming up to me to ask about the camera. I would always let them touch and have a look under the cloth. They would be impressed by the size of the negative as well as the reversed and inverted image.
The Toyo saw the world with me. We went to Portugal, Spain, France, across Canada together. The Hassi saw even more – portability being sometimes more important. The Hassi was part of my last vacation in Italy. It photographed the “Bridge of Sighs” without the photographer knowing what it was taking… A true friend.
Film and chemistry were becoming much harder to find. Actually, the chemistry availability actually plummeted these past few years. Talk about freedom from choice! I will miss the smell in my unventilated room. The smell on my fingers. Going to bed awfully late as I didn’t pay attention to the time because I was so engrossed in the process. The magic of seeing the pictures starting to show in the developer bath. The happiness of seeing a reel of 6×6 cm negatives come out of the tank or seeing the perfect greys of a newly developed 4×5″ negative. The tonality was simply amazing. I even considered building my own 8×10″… That never materialized.
So, as I said, it is the end of an era for me. I am now fully digital. I have my camera, a D800 (with the AA filter) and my Epson 4900 for prints. I am still converting my negatives using an Epson V700. That is a looooong process.
I’ve already taken quite a few pictures with the D800 that I like. I am discovering the use of the digital darkroom by using Lightroom. The picture at the top of my blog was taken in October 2012 with the D800 and modified in Lightroom. In a future post, I will be showing a few before/after tinkerings.
Thank you Toyo, Hasselblad and Omega. Thank you Kodak, Fuji, Ilford for creating fantastic products. You will be missed.
I first started woodworking some years ago in my father’s basement. He had a Crafstman Radial Arm Saw and some hand tools. He did a lot of different things using these tools. He is of the “figure it out with what you have” generation I would say. I’m a wee bit more of the “what tool can do this best” generation myself. Now, I do think that I don’t have many tools and use these in some innovative ways sometimes but I have to admit that I did spoil myself once or twice… I work hard so my hobbies need to be pleasurable, right? I will soon populate my WORKSHOP page so you will be able to see what tools I have and regularly work with. Some may say that I don’t need all the tools I have and some may be surprised that I have so few, all things considered. I’m really happy with what I have and all of it has seen very good use. I am now looking at upgrading my bandsaw. I currently have my father’s old Beaver. It has seen a lot of use from him but very little from me. I did use it for a rather big project that I will be discussing in a later post and that made me decide to get a bigger and more powerful model. This has been “something to get” for the past 6 years. I’m a strong believer in getting the tools you need only when you have to. So far, I haven’t had to but my next project is dependent on it.
To get back to the matter at hand, I started my woodworking hobby with this first easy piece. I was living in a very small apartment and needed a somewhat attractive place to put stuff. I have been an avid reader of Woodsmith and ShopNotes for the past 10 years and saw this storage chest. I found it to be just the right challenge for my new interest. I had just bought my table saw which I was keeping in my father’s basement. At first, it did get more use from him than me… but I digress.
This chest was extremely straightforward to build. All that was needed was a sheet of 3/4″ plywood, about 16′ of wooden mouldings and an 8′ board of cherry. The main challenge for this chest was that I had not bought the correct hinges for it. However, as I am somewhat hard headed sometimes, I decided to use these and “make it work”. This ended up in providing a nice detail to the chest.
It now resides in my godchild’s bedroom keeping her toys safe.
This is my very first completely original design. I came about this design after researching many buffets from various manufacturers and never actually finding one that had all the things I was looking for. I decided to create my own.
I used Google SketchUp 7 to create this item. It is made out of cherry stained to a dark chocolate color using Saman stains.
Creating the Google SketchUp model: This was a bit of a challenge in itself. Because of this project, I have become fairly proficient with SketchUp! At least for straight lines… This model went through at least 18 revisions before I was happy with it and felt confident that I could build and assemble it alone in my shop.
Selecting the wood: I went to my normal supplier, Langevin & Forest, to get the wood for the project. I selected unmilled lumber for this (a first) as well as plywood.
Milling the wood: As I said, this was a first for me. I used my DeWalt DW735 thickness planer as well as my Delta 37-275X 6″ jointer and went to work. I practiced on many scraps to get a feel for how to go about this. It ended up working really well and I will never go back. I had owned the DW735 for 3 years prior to this and had never used it, not even for a test… Imagine my glee as I saw the pieces of wood go in and then come out nice and smooth. It did take me a few passes before I understood that I needed to flip each piece every other pass so that I ended up with a straight board. My dust collector filled up very quickly as I had much material to mill.
Cutting wood: I then began to cut the pieces to size based on the printed plans. I have yet to find a better way of doing this. I can’t say I’m really happy with the quality of the prints coming out of SketchUp as the dimensions are difficult to read when you dimension things appropriately. Also, the actual printing is a chore. It may be just me but I need to find a better way of doing this. Cutting the various pieces was fairly straightforward. I believe that spending so much time in the design phase with SketchUp helped me better plan what needed to be cut when in the shop. I call this the IKEA phase. I find it fun to see all the parts together prior to assembly. Everything is sanded down and ready to go!
Complicated parts: There were some complicated parts in this project. This piece is one of the more complicated parts that were produced with this project. I was amazed that it came out exactly as the SketchUp model said it would. You may be surprised by this but the actual confection of the piece was “interesting”. The central groove was also in line with the rest of the grooves that were supposed to line up for the wine separators. All in all a perfect fit! I cannot thank the people at Google SketchUp enough for this free program. It is free and easy to use and is a fantastic tool for the woodworkers out there who want to create furniture. I have yet to explore its more advanced aspects.
Assembly: This was a project in itself. Keeping in mind that this was done by one person alone, I had to ensure that the building made sense and was fairly straightforward with little necessity of extra hands. I was able to accomplish this by ensuring that the glue-up was done in sections. The most difficult part was to get the frame up and glued. I used compression straps to ensure that everything would stay in place while the clamps were put in place and tightened. As you can see, I was a bit innovative in the clamping style used. It worked and that is what counted.
Stain: I used my Fuji Q4 for stain for the first time. The results were surprisingly good, in my opinion. I used to do this step by hand prior to getting the gun. This was a pleasant experience as I was able to do all of the staining process in under 20 minutes. I mixed 2 parts of Saman Chocolate (#119) with one part of Saman Black (#108) Then came the varnish. I use Varathane Diamond Finish Satin for this piece as I wanted it to blend in with the rest of the dining room furniture we currently own – future project to be done, replacing this with something else, including chairs.
The Buffet is now filled with a collection of Whiskey, great wines and other spirits, its two drawers are being used for placemats and other smaller items.
Overall, this is the nicest piece I have built, ever. This is the one I am most proud of. You will see in my other future posts other items I have created based on my designs, modified items I have seen as well as unmodified Woodsmith plans (most of my current furniture). I am now confident enough in my woodworking and drafting abilities to continue exploring new ideas of increasing complexity and personal usefulness.
Ultimately, for me, usefulness is the most important part of my woodworking. Every piece I craft need to serve a purpose and last a lifetime. | 2019-04-19T17:05:03Z | https://kimikodesign.wordpress.com/ |

(Sold) This is a 1942 White Dot Sheaffer Triumph Vac fountain pen in striated Marine Green celluloid, with a 14k gold, two-tone Triumph Lifetime Fine nib. The pen has been restored, which included a complete disassembly, a thorough cleaning, an overhaul of the filling mechanism, ink flow adjustment, a nib tune-up, and a gentle polish with a soft cloth (by hand). This is a full-size pen, measuring 5.1" capped and 0.46" in diameter.
Why do you write with a fountain pen? Me? I do because it brings me joy. Writing with any other instrument feels more like a chore, yet the fountain pen is a continuous source of pleasure. And no pen brings me more joy than the wartime Sheaffer Triumph. It's everything I want in a fountain pen. A beautiful, ergonomically sound design, a gorgeous, semi-transparent striated celluloid, a high-capacity vacuum filling mechanism, and, last but definitely not least, the Triumph nib.
The pen I am offering today is one of the nicest specimens of the model I've seen in a long time. It's flawless. A beautiful, vibrant, luscious celluloid, with excellent barrel transparency and awesome gold-filled trim, paired with the amazing Triumph nib, together, make this a superb fountain pen that should satisfy most fountain pen enthusiasts. Even if you've never owned a vintage fountain pen, you really owe it to yourself to try the Triumph at least once. The Triumph is such a departure from the classic, conventional fountain pen, that it is a writing instrument in a class of its own.
The Lifetime nib lays down a confident, even cocky, line of about 0.5 mm (on my paper), and feels incredibly smooth, yet without any flow issues that plague modern gold nibs of equal smoothness. The nib writes fantastic strokes in virtually any direction, has a large sweet spot, and gives one that gliding, almost hovering sensation. It grabs on to the surface of the paper, and holds on, until you command it otherwise. It writes under the lightest pressure, yet it will take a heavy hand just as easily. A fabulous writer! | 2019-04-24T05:49:50Z | http://www.acousticpens.com/blog/2016/11/17/sheaffer-triumph-vac-fountain-pen-marine-green-f |
In episode 241 of The Revolution Podcast we share the listener feedback we received for the penultimate episode of NBC’s Revolution entitled, “Memorial Day” which aired on May 14, 2014. We hear some great thoughts and theories about how the show might end and which portions of the story will have some sort of closure. We also hear thoughts about the necklace that Truman gave Marion, the relationship growth between Charlie and Miles, the flawed plans of the Patriots, and Miles’ new attitude.
We also hear thoughts about the use of the word evolution in the opening title sequence of the show and how that makes more sense now than ever before. We hear listener thoughts on how the book “American Gods” ties in to the show and a cool theory about Truman and the nanites.

Just got back from Chicago and Chambana. I always enjoy seeing so many special people and the fact that this was my last excursion out there is bittersweet.
My trip included two days of schooling, a graduation photoshoot, limo rides, swimming, steak and shake, complimentary bloody mary's, dinner with an amazing professor, and fun with supertramp friends.

Greensboro, N.C. -- Cammy Pereira's walk-off single in the seventh lifted Furman to a 1-0 victory over Samford, but ETSU downed the Paladins, 4-1, to eliminate the purple and white from the Southern Conference Softball Championship in Greensboro, N.C., on Friday evening.
With a trip to Saturday's SoCon championship round waiting for the winner, ETSU's Taylor Wright lined a three-run double into the right-center field gap with two outs in the top of the eighth inning to propel the Bucs into the title game for the second straight season.
Furman (41-15) grabbed a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when Hannah Reynolds belted a solo home run down the left field line for her 11th long ball of the year. ETSU answered the following inning as Tiffany Laughren doubled, moved to third base on an error and scored on Kelsey Chernak's sacrifice fly to right field.
The Paladins had their chance to punch their ticket to the championship round in the bottom of the seventh when Reynolds drew a leadoff walk and pinch runner Caroline Nageotte was sacrificed to second, but ETSU starter Madison Ogle got Pereira to foul out and caught Caroline Cash looking at strike three to end the inning.
In the eighth, a leadoff single and two failed attempts at force outs that turned into fielder's choices with one out loaded the bases for the Bucs. Reliever Emily DeMonte induced a grounder to first base that AnnaRose Borrelli fired home for the second out of the inning before Wright broke the tie with her three-run double into the gap.
Ogle (13-13) limited Furman to a run on five hits over eight innings to earn the win. She fanned seven batters and issued just two walks. Laughren went 2-for-4 at the plate, while Kylie Tolar finished 2-for-3 for ETSU.
DeMonte (13-4) took the loss for the Paladins after allowing three runs on four hits in three innings in the circle. Starter Lindsey Bert gave up just one unearned run on three hits in five innings in her final appearance as a Paladin. The left-hander fanned four batters without allowing a walk and collected one of Furman's five hits.
In the Paladins' first game of the day, Periera delivered a walk-off single over the center fielder's head with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the seventh inning to hand Furman a 1-0 victory over Samford that eliminated the Bulldogs from tournament play.
Reynolds opened the seventh with a single up the middle and moved to second base on Candace Johnson's bunt single. After Emma Ogburn popped out, Cash worked a walk to load the bases with one out. Pereira pinch hit for Lauren Duggar and lofted a fly ball to the base of the center field wall on a two-strike pitch to pick up the walk-off single.
Bert earned the victory to improve to 28-9 in the circle after holding the Bulldogs to just four hits in a complete-game four-hit shutout. She struck out eight batters without issuing a walk to pick up her school-record 14th shutout of the season.
Samford's Taylor DeCelles (9-13) took the loss despite allowing just one run on five hits in 6.1 innings of work for the Bulldogs.
Furman's 41 wins during the 2018 season mark the second most in school history. | 2019-04-25T14:08:52Z | http://www.furmanpaladins.com/sports/w-softbl/2017-18/releases/20180511zeqi7f |

I have a few HP passenger cars without trucks. I've tried to find some for sale on ebay dut there is none of them,, so I decided to make my own. What type of trucks was the most common passenger truck on us railroads in 1940-70's?
P.S. And what about John Fisher's castings? Do somebody have masters for them?
How many cars do you need trucks for?
I have 4 cars without trucks.
Is there any blueprints of 41-N-11 truck?
Is there any possibility to find any plans or blueprints of any type of 41-n***-11 trucks?
I have 15 HP passenger car kits which have no trucks, so the kits remain unbuilt. Yesterday I received a kit made by John Harmon bought through ebay to make 6 passenger cars. The kit has trucks for all six cars and the trucks are castings made by Bowser. These look good but the openings for the axles are about 1.5 mm diameter while the axles are 1 mm. It looks like the wheels will be too loose when installed.
After spending so much money for the kit it's disappointing to be faced with this hassle. I hope to find bearing inserts to put in the trucks, maybe the ones from Peho. There's more research to be done.
Probably these castings can be used as patterns to make more trucks. That's also needs researching.
Murad, what about to contact Peresvet. They have recently the CIWL coaches which have very nice trucks, very similar to US trucks from the first half of last century. You will need to modify a bit on them to get the real US design.
I have these same castings and they look like copies of the Rokal coach trucks. I bought bearings from 3SMR in the UK, drilled the holes out to fit the bearings and used Muellers pin point axles. Can't stop them on a grade!
Mueller also does wheels with a blunt axle to fit the Rokal trucks but, I've not had much success with them.
Thanks. I've considered this approach. Only inserts which I knew about are from Peho and size isn't specified. Wheels with the kit are 1/4 inch diameter (6+mm) and I haven't seen Modmueller wheels that small. I'll try to find some metal tubing for making bearing sleeves to fit into the castings and use the trucks and wheels which are with the kit. If inserts work then possibly more trucks can be made by 3D printing.
Is there any chance to buy 1 truck from you? | 2019-04-24T07:50:22Z | https://www.ttnut.com/scale-passenger-trucks-t3313.html |
Thelma, a young and shy student, has just left her very devout parents' home, on Norway's west coast, to study at Oslo University. At the university, she feels irresistibly and secretly drawn to the very beautiful Anja. Everything seems to be going well but one day at the library she has an extremely violent epileptic fit. Little by little, Thelma feels submerged by the intensity of her feelings for Anja, which she dare not admit - even to herself, and is prey to increasingly frequent fits. It soon becomes obvious that these attacks are in fact the symptoms of supernatural and dangerous faculties. Thelma is then confronted by her past, weighed down by the tragic implications of her powers. | 2019-04-24T09:50:31Z | https://en.unifrance.org/movie/43215/thelma |
Dhaka is celebrating its 400th year and much of the celebration is centred on Old Dhaka, a city immersed in history and tradition. As its crumbling, yet spectacular architecture is evidence to, Old Dhaka represents a glorious and glamorous past. Yet there is so much more to Old Dhaka than merely its architectural splendour. It is the warm and vibrant life in Puran Dhaka as it is locally called, that has sustained despite the decaying infrastructure and utter neglect from the authorities to maintain and preserve this living symbol of our glorious history. | 2019-04-24T02:38:05Z | http://archive.thedailystar.net/magazine/2008/08/03/index.htm |
