My subject is "Are flowers just flowers?". It was submitted by Confessions of a Part-Time Working Mom. http://thethreegerbers.blogspot.ch.
Here goes:
Are flowers just flowers or is there some deeper, hidden meaning behind them? When I was younger I loved to get flowers. I didn't even care who they were from. As I grew older getting flowers from a boyfriend was the ultimate excitement. Birthday, anniversary, just because. It didn't matter, I was a sucker for flowers.
Then one day, I can't remember where, I heard that if a man sends a woman flowers for no reason it means he feels guilty about something or is apologizing for something he's done. Well isn't that great. There went the romance of flower giving.
After my first marriage ended I found out that he had been unfaithful to me for the first two and a half years of our relationship. Basically until about four months before our wedding. I immediately started thinking back to all the warning signs there had been that, at the time, I just didn't notice or seemed innocent enough. Looking back it was so obvious.
I don't like to admit this, but he really screwed me up. He told me about the affair (yes, just one, long affair with his ex) after he had moved out and we were separated. There was no need for him to have told me about it, we were already over. He claims it was because if we had any chance of getting back together he couldn't go on living with the secret. Well, not that there was before, but there was definitely no chance of us getting back together after hearing that. I was hurt and angry but most of all I was embarrassed. I felt like he had made a complete fool out of me. The only good that came out of him sharing that was the weight lifted off his conscience. He felt better having unloaded that terrible secret he had been hiding all that time.
After we separated I slowly started dating again. I reconnected with a childhood boyfriend who lived 4,000 miles away form me. We went on two amazing vacations to Brazil and Hong Kong, he came here a couple of times to visit. We started trying to figure out ways for him to be able to move here. It was amazing for a long time, but whenever he sent me flowers, I couldn't help but wonder why. After we broke up, I dated a little here and there before I met my now-husband.
The first time hubs came over to have dinner at my house he brought me a single rose. My initial instinct was to wonder why. What had he done, what was he apologizing for? Then I realized we had only just started dating and hadn't even had the "will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend" conversation yet. It was a sweet gesture, that is all.
With all that being said, here are the top five reasons I think a man sends a woman flowers;
1) He loves her and wants to show her he appreciates her.
2) He cheated and feels guilty.
3) He loves her and wants to brighten her day for no specific reason.
4) He lied about something and feels guilty.
5) He loves her and feels like he doesn't tell her often enough and wants to surprise her with something nice.
I don't think every man sends their woman flowers out of guilt. Do some? Sure they do. Are there some total shit bags out there who run around doing whatever they want while you're picking out color schemes and cakes for your wedding? Yep, there are. Do they send flowers because they feel guilty? Maybe. Maybe they take you out to extravagant dinners or buy you jewelry instead.
Are there men out there who buy their women flowers simply because they love her? Yes there are. Just as there are men who take their women out to dinner and buy them jewelry when it isn't their birthday or anniversary. If my husband were to send me flowers today would I think it was because he felt guilty about something? No, I wouldn't. There was a time where I would have. After all, my first husband scarred me deeply and it took a long time to recover from. Not because I was still in love with him, but because I had difficulty accepting that it wasn't because of me that he cheated, it was because of him. It wasn't anything I had done or not done, it was because of his own immaturity and insecurities that he did that. Hubs and I have been together long enough that I have been able to work through a lot of my own insecurities, making me much more comfortable with myself and in my relationship.
Does my mind ever wander to the what if? Of course it does. I may have come a long way since my first marriage, but I am still human. But if he sends me flowers on a whim, for no apparent reason, I'm not going to question why or dissect what it could possibly mean. I know what it means. It means he loves me and wants to show me he appreciates me, or he want to brighten my day for no specific reason, or doesn't feel like he tells me he loves me often enough.
Flowers always have a hidden meaning, but it isn't always a bad one.

Maties fly to the top
Maties were in ruthless form as they disposed of Shimlas 56-21 in Stellenbosch while their Cape Town counterparts UCT-Ikeys bounced back from an opening round defeat to overcome the Madibaz 27-17 in Port Elizabeth.
UJ were also on the right side of a result this round as they secured a 48-21 victory over the struggling CUT, while Wits were the big winners of the round, edging Tuks 25-19 to climb to second place on the log.
All the scores and scorers!
NMMU-Madibaz 17-27 UCT-Ikeys
Simon Bolze handed the home side an early lead with a seventh-minute penalty before UCT took the lead through a Cuan Hablutzel try and Karl Martin penalty by the 26th minute.
Bolze then added a converted try of his own but another Martin penalty before the half-time break handed the visitors a slender 11-10 lead.
The Madibaz came out firing and took the lead through a Siphumelele Msutwana try but that lead and any hope of victory was wiped out when Pieter Schoonraad and Nyasha Tarusenga scored to secure the bonus point win. Martin and Lohan Lubbe were on song with the conversions.

The home side extended their lead when Duncan Saal bagged a brace within minutes of each other. Shimlas hit back on the stroke of half-time through Athi Halom to see the visitors trail 14-33 at the half-time interval.

Wits 25-19 UP-Tuks
Tuks drew first blood when Toko Seerane made his way through the Wits defence to take a 7-0 lead but a well-taken Power Play saw the home side take the lead when Sicelo Champion raced through the 13-man Tuks outfit to hand Wits a 9-7 lead in the 20th minute.

text: In an earlier post, Supererogation for Maximisers, I tried to reconcile two apparently irreconcilable claims: first, that maximising consequentialism is true; and, second, that supererogatory action is possible. Subsequently, the same topic has received significant attention in the comments to another post, Favourite Objections to Consequentialism, prompting me to revise my position. In this post I shall (1) briefly review my old position, (2) show why I'm no longer inclined to accept it, and (3) propose something new.

On June 18–the day after the heinous attack in which nine were killed at Charleston's Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church–President Obama said, "At some point, we as a country will have to reckon with the fact that this type of mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries."
On June 26, the world woke up to news of one person attacked and beheaded in a French factory and 37 gunned down at a Tunisia resort.
The beheading took place in Grenoble, France, where two men rammed the factory with a car, then set off explosives. One individual was then beheaded and his head placed on a fence.
In Tunisia, at least 37 tourists were gunned down, including five Britons. The incident happened as "Islamic terrorists reportedly 'shot people on sunbeds' along a beach packed with western holidaymakers at the popular holiday resort."
Again, on June 18, President Obama said, "Mass violence does not happen in other advanced countries." Yet even prior to the news of today's beheading and the resort attack in Tunisia, Obama's statement flew in the face of terrible, violent acts that had already taken place in countries like France, Denmark, and Norway.
For example, in Paris on January 7, two men completely ignored "restrictive" French gun controls and killed 12 people at Charlie Hebdo headquarters. On February 14/15, a man ignored Denmark's gun controls and attacked in Copenhagen, shooting and killing two civilians and wounding five others. And on November 18, 2013, there was firearm-related attack on the daily French newspaper Liberation.
Obama also overlooked one of the biggest massacre's ever–the July 22, 2011 attack in which Anders Behring Breivik killed eight people with a bomb in Oslo, Norway, then shot and killed 69 people at a youth camp in Utoya. CBSNews reported that Breivik's ultimate goal had been to "kill all 600″ people attending the camp.
It should be noted, these attacks notwithstanding, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) echoed Obama's sentiment on June 23 by suggesting the United States is the "only advanced country" where public "mass violence" occurs.

Business has probably never been more competitive than it is now so there's never been a better time to give your customers reasons to choose you.
Even little things you may not think are important could make all the difference to them. People like to think their needs are different and will gravitate toward something they perceive is made just for them. If you can't demonstrate what makes your business special, your prospective customers will never see it. The main ways in which businesses and professional services can stand out is by offering something unique in the form of service or value. Or they may offer some degree of exclusivity. You can also stand out by offering a cheaper price but it's rarely the best positioning.
Service Benefits
You can offer service-related benefits whether you sell a service or a product. For example, you could offer exceptional customer support such as: "On call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." or "We will get there within an hour or the service call is free." Either of these would work well for plumbers, engineers, mechanics or any other type of repair service. When clients come in for an appointment, they may be worried about spending too much time in the waiting room. This is especially true if you are in the medical profession (e.g. dentists, chiropractors and physicians).
So what about working something like the following into your positioning: "You will not wait more than 10 minutes in our waiting room or your visit is free."
Another tactic is to use a warranty. Why not offer the longest warranty possible? Your warranty may range from 1 year to a lifetime. Remember, the bigger the promise you can make, the more appealing your product or service will normally appear to your prospective customers.
With a little imagination, you can create an exclusive positioning. If you are offering a product, you could just limit the number that will be sold. Alternatively, you can offer a limited first edition with more benefits than later editions. This will really help you launch your product with a bang. For services, you can accept clients by recommendation only. Obviously, this works exceptionally well to create exclusivity to most any type of premium service. Everyone wants to belong to something. So set up a community of some sort. When membership is limited to clients only, it creates a feeling of exclusivity.
Value is the combination of price and quality. If the quality of your product or service is greater than that of your competitors, then prospective customers will gladly pay a higher price. You can easily offer something extra along with your product or existing service to add value. You could include detailed guidance and tips on how to get the best results from the product or service. When a product or service is complicated, many users will find it difficult to use. If you can include a manual, instructional videos or even better yet, one-on-one training, it will go a long way in adding extra value. No matter what you are selling, there are usually items that will fit well with it. The client will always be interested in other related products (or bonuses).
These related products are perfect examples of value enhancers. For example, if you create web graphics for your clients, you could also offer web hosting, a complete web site overhaul, or even tips on how to get traffic to their website. The list can go on and on.
Another way to add value without increasing your expense is to contact businesses with clients who are similar to yours and work out a trade with them. Real estate agents could do deals with furniture shops in their area. Get creative and you'll find dozens of ways to add value to your product or service. But just be sure to give them additional products or services that mean something to them.

The House on Tuesday passed legislation to revive the Export-Import Bank, using a rarely employed parliamentary move that circumvented the Republican leadership.
Lawmakers voted 313-118 to reauthorize the bank, which was blocked from taking on new business on June 30 after conservatives blocked a measure to keep it operating. The House vote occurred after a bipartisan group of lawmakers garnered 218 votes on a discharge petition, which forces a floor vote on a bill even if the House Speaker won't call for one.
"We showed that Democrats and Republicans can work together to overcome the obstruction caused by an ideologically driven minority that put its own uncompromising principles over the needs of the American people," said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who is the ranking member on the House Financial Services Committee.
The fight against the bank has been driven by Financial Services panel chairman Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, who said he believes it's riddled with corruption and serves as a form of corporate welfare.Read more on WashingtonExaminer.com

2006 Preview: Fashion
If I had to choose one word to describe the year 2005, that word would be "awesome". The last 12 months were filled with countless milestones in music, film, and neuroscience. It may well have been the Bestest Year EVAR. Will 2006 be even better?
No. It won't.
I've looked into it, and I can confidently say that 2006 will be 42% less awesome than 2005. Sorry - not my fault. Well, mostly not my fault. Even though 2006 will almost certainly suck living crap compared to 2005, there are a few interesting trends heading our way in the year to come. So, instead of doing the same stupid "year end lists" that all the other sites are doing, please enjoy this Official 2006 Preview. It's like a year end list - in reverse!
Let's kick it off with a look at...
Fashion in 2006
Wherever I go, the people keep asking me: "OMG what's Joey Headset going to be wearing in 2006?!?!" And every time they ask, I always answer with these two words. SEAFOAM GREEN. If you care about style, if looking good is important to you, here's what you need to do: Take your entire wardrobe, every pair of cargo pants, every button down polo shirt... every miscellaneous sock, and throw it all into a giant sack. Then set that sack on fire. The only threads anyone with taste will be rocking next year will be seafoam green.
"But wait," you might ask, "What labels should I buy, what designers?" Doesn't matter, just as long as it's seafoam green (or as I like to call it, The Color of Dreams).
Another fashion tip for my style-conscious readers: 2006 will be The Year of Corduroy. But not just any old cords. Next year will be all about smooth, sexy horizontal cords - produced by the Cordarounds Corporation! Traditional, vertical Corduroys generate a "groinal friction effect" which can cause uncomfortable burning sensations down there. Horizontal Cordarounds decrease friction, allowing wearers to look awesome without sacrificing below-the-belt comfort.
Finally, a trend that that is certain to rock the world of fashion in '06 is a movement I am calling "NASCAR Chic". You remember NASCAR Dads, right? Imagine them if they were really, really pretentious. And occasionally sober. By March, every hipster bar in Manhattan will look like Quarter Beer Night at Scooter's Left-Turn Grill in Charlotte, NC. Better buy a few dozen Dale Earnhardt t-shirts now, before they start selling them for $675 a pop at Armani.

Taste and OJ on Trial
Time for another
shoddy, sophomoric delightful webcomic.
Sticking with the TV commercial theme established last time, this week's comic addresses Miller Brewing Company's recent "Taste on Trial" ad campaign. Though most of the ads in this campaign have been well received, the networks considered the following 30 second spot to be... rather inappropriate.
I'll let you decide for yourself.

Movie Review: Brokeback Mountain
Once again, I have been ripped off at the movies.
In the promotional campaign for Brokeback Mountain, Paramount Pictures promised me gay cowboys. When I showed up at the theater and payed my $10... I excepted to see two solid hours of gay cowboy entertainment.
However... these are NOT gay cowboys:
In this film, Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllynhhll are bi-curious cowboys. At best.
Now, THESE...
...are gay cowboys.
Until the studios "cowboy up" and present the movie-going public with the real gay cowboy experience we deserve, I can only give them 3 Joeys (two regular Joeys, plus one Pink Joey in a Cowboy Hat).

Uwe Boll, King of Cinema
On Thursday, I profiled the upcoming vampire movie, BloodRayne. Today, I would like to bring you into the exciting cinematic world of BloodRayne's acclaimed German director, Uwe Boll.
Rest assured, that's actually his name (I didn't just have a seizure while I was typing). But what's in a name? I guess it is worth mentioning that if you rearrange the letters in "Uwe Boll", you can spell the phrase "Owl Lube". Sounds like a reference to some bestiality themed Harry Potter slash fiction...
But we're not here to talk about internet fan fiction. Or are we? One might say that Uwe Boll has taken the concept of fan fiction to "the next level". In fact, not only has Boll taken it to the next level... he has managed to defeat the boss at the end of that level, and set a new high score in the process. Think about it: There are thousands of bored, friendless gaming nerds out there who spend their lonely nights writing terrible video game fan fiction. However, there is only one man who has managed to turn his love of video game fan fiction into a lucrative full time directing job.
Just take a look at Mr. Boll's filmography - by the year 2008 this director will have achieved a feat that is unprecedented in the history of cinema: He will have directed eight feature films based on video games. IN A ROW!!! Over his entire career, Alfred Hitchcock only directed six video game adaptations, and two of those were just short films that briefly toured the art house circuit. For those keeping score, that's Boll 1, Hitchcock 0.
Although Uwe's list of completed works is already impressive enough, it is his upcoming projects that most intrigue me. Currently in post-production is a film called "In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale". I actually bought "Dungeon Siege", the game this film is based on - and find it to be a fascinating choice for adaptation. Having played this game continuously for two months, all I remember about it was... actually I remember almost nothing about it. I recall there was one level where I spent hours looking for a switch that was supposed to open some door, but I couldn't find it. So I deleted the game from my hard drive. I also remember there being some evil goblins or orcs or some crap like that. If there was a "plot" or "story" in this game, it eluded me entirely. Personally, I can't imagine how one would make a viable movie out of such a mindless timesuck... but that's why Uwe Boll is a creative genius, and I'm just some asshole with a website.
Also on Boll's upcoming project list is "Postal", a movie based on the controversial "murder simulation" game released in 1997. Postal didn't actually sell very well - the ultra-violent content of the game was so reprehensible that even rage-filled adolescents felt a little dirty after playing it. Most directors would consider this reason enough to avoid bringing the game to the silver screen. Uwe Boll isn't most directors. Plus, he's already got Gary "whatchu talkin 'bout" Coleman signed on to the project, so it's hard to see how it could fail.
Like every great man throughout history, Uwe Boll does have his detractors. The critical response to his films has generally been negative. Overwhelmingly negative. "Dear God why did you allow this man to direct movies" negative. But we all know that the opinions of critics are irrelevant... the only thing that counts is the response of the movie-going public. Unfortunately, they don't particularly care for Mr. Boll's films either (if box office results are any indication). Furthermore, some have accused Boll's "Boll KG" company of exploiting a loophole in German tax law that allows investors to profit from unprofitable films (via a tax write-off). Well, if making millions of dollars off of a shady German tax shelter scheme is wrong, then neither I nor my accountant want to be right.
Critics might say that Uwe Boll's entire career has been an exercise in getting rich despite wallowing in mediocrity. However, I contend that Boll hasn't succeeded despite mediocrity... rather, he has cultivated that rarest strain of mediocrity - one that can be jammed into a particular orifice of our popular culture over and over again until the public begs him to stop.
Or until the German government changes their tax laws.

Rayne-ing Blood
Every now and then - perhaps once in a decade - audiences are exposed to a work of cinema that is so groundbreaking, it has a uniquely transformative effect on our culture.
No, I'm not referring to Peter Jackson's King Kong. Though that movie is certainly entertaining, it's merely a remake of another film - one that was made in 1933. And then made again in 1976. I don't know about you, but I wasn't alive in 1933, nor in 1976... and I don't see how anything of real significance could have pre-dated my own existence. The history books will back me up on this.
Kong may keep our eyeballs busy for a couple of hours, but in terms of cultural impact and sheer artistic ambition, it cannot possibly compete with the other highly anticipated film coming out this holiday season.
The name of this masterpiece? BloodRayne.
Like Death of a Salesman and The Great Gatsby, BloodRayne is a truly American story. Except that it takes place in eighteenth century Romania and is based on a video game. The plot centers around a hot female vampire called Ranye, played by supermodel and (sort of) actress Kristanna Loken. No stranger to playing vicious killing machines, Loken starred as T-X in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. T3 may not have been the best film in the Terminator trilogy. Nor the second best. However, I think we can all agree that Loken's T-X was the sexiest KillBot of the franchise - much hotter than the blob of silver metal or the steroid abusing Austrian that preceded her.
Loken is not the only big name acting talent featured in BloodRayne. The cast also includes Sir Ben Kingsley! Some might be surprised to see Kingsley - considered the finest actor of his generation - bringing his talents to a video game film adaptation. They shouldn't be. Sir Ben's breakthrough performance came in the 1982 film Gandhi, which was one of the very first films based on an arcade game... specifically, the game Frogger. It was a rather liberal adaptation.
Also starring in the movie: Sir Michael Madsen, Sir Michelle Rodriguez and Sir Meat Loaf. Kick ass.
Of course, an amazing cast such as this would be of little value without a director who knows how to get the most out of them. Fortunately, BloodRanye was brought to life by well known German director Uwe Boll. Tomorrow, we will this profile this visionary film artist.

The Producers Movie
Coming soon... a film version of Mel Brooks' Broadway hit, The Producers. I can't wait!
The film features Gene Wilder, a brilliant comedic actor who starred in two of Brooks' best films: Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Also starring in The Producers: the hilarious Zero Mostel! Mostel is a veteran of stage and screen - and he's been dead for nearly 28 years, so that's a particularly interesting casting choice. With Mel Brooks in the director's chair, this movie is certain to be a classic!
UPDATE: Matthew Broderick? Nathan fucking Lane? Directed by someone named "Stroman"? Ugh... nevermind.

Music (Video) Review: Shakira, "Don't Bother"
Act 1: It's Shakira in bed... with a half naked man! Well, he LOOKS like a man... but is he really? Shakira suspects otherwise. In order to test her suspicions, Shakira gets on top of the young man, caresses him, whispers in his ear - she even bites him a few times! Yet, despite Shakira's lurid gyrations, the young man remains totally unresponsive.
Act 2: Rather annoyed, Shakira drives the young man's expensive automobile to a scrapyard. This does not bode well for the automobile.
(interlude): Shakira in the shower. She alternates between sitting on the shower floor (looking miserable) and making out with the half naked gentleman from Act 1 (looking somewhat less miserable). In both scenarios, Shakira remains fully clothed. Is her lack of nudity a gesture toward modesty or merely an attempt to conserve laundry detergent?
Act 3: After confessing her strange desire to move to a communist country (WTF?), Shakira pulls a lever on some heavy machinery. The result: Half naked man's expensive automobile is inserted into an automobile crushing machine!
As the crushing machine does its business, we cut back to the half naked man - who suddenly experiences a series of excruciating full-body spasms! As the car is demolished, the man writhes in pain - because this is no man at all: It is the well-toned anthropomorphic manifestation of the SOUL of an expensive automobile. Either that, or some guy who really likes his car.
Denouement (It's French. Look it up.): Having destroyed the car - and, apparently, the man - Shakira walks triumphantly into the dawn of a suburban neighborhood. Once again, a spurned woman finds empowerment through the senseless destruction of an ex-boyfriend's personal property.
Somewhere out there, Kelly Clarkson is smiling.

Comic: The Yoplait Girls
I've noticed that lots of people on the internet enjoy comics - or, "web comics" as the youngsters like to call them. Personally, I don't like them very much. I'm all about the written word (making those connections, the friendships that last a lifetime). However, since I'm also all about giving the people what they want... I'm introducing a regular web comic feature to this site. Don't everyone thank me at once.
This week's comic features those lovely, curd slurping ladies who just can't get over the deliciousness of Yoplait yogurt. Yes, it's the Yoplait Girls, in their first web comic adventure!
I'm sure you've seen these commercials - one girl compares the goodness of the yogurt to something, then the other compares it to some other, better thing - and they proceed in this manner until the viewer WANTS TO THROW UP. In this sense, the commercials evoke the same physiological response that the product does. Finally, a case of truth in advertising.
So here it is, the very first Joey Headset web comic. Click here to check it out!

As with any potential fixer upper in Barrington Hills, IL you may (but not always) need to use some of the money you save at closing to make a few repairs and/or home renovations.
Barrington Hills is a village located about 40 miles (64 km) northwest of Chicago in the U.S. state of Illinois. It straddles approximately 29 square miles (75 km2) over four counties, Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry. The population was 4,209 at the 2010 census. The Village of Barrington Hills was incorporated in 1957.
The suburban village is included in the greater Barrington area. Many very affluent residents live on large estates and commute to downtown Chicago. A minimum 5-acre (2.0 ha) zoning restriction has been in effect on new construction since 1963, but the existence of equestrian farms antedates the village by decades. Farming and horse raising are allowed. Barrington Hills includes farms and estates such as Hill 'N Dale Farms, owned by Richard L. Duchossois, former owner of the Arlington Park racetrack, and the Bank Note Farm. The identification of the area with horses carries over to the names Broncos and Colts for school teams.
Barrington Center Church was built in 1853 by the Barrington Methodist Episcopal Society. A memorial plaque outside the church lists 91 area residents - one woman and 90 men - who served in the Civil War. Since the 1980s, the church building has been used by a Korean-American congregation, the New Friends Wesleyan Church.
In 1860, about 18 immigrant families of Czech ancestry settled along the east side of the Fox River, near the future site of Fox River Grove. In 1867, land was purchased at the southwest corner of Church and River - Algonquin roads, and construction was started on St. John Nepomucene Chapel, named after the patron saint of Bohemia. Completed in 1873, the chapel was never served by its own priest, and currently services are scheduled only once a year. The chapel and its cemetery are owned by the St. John Nepomucene Catholic Cemetery Association, making it the only privately owned Catholic chapel and cemetery in the Rockford Diocese.
Starting about 1900, business executives from Chicago, many of whom were tied to the railroad industry, purchased the rolling farms and subdivided them into large summer estates. One such individual was Spencer C. Otis, who by 1910 is credited with purchasing 1,000 acres (405 ha) of farmland along what was then Goose Lake Road but is now known as Otis Road and creating Hawthorne Farm. Otis was a "gentleman farmer" of the era. He worked in Chicago commerce, but his hobby was dairy farming on his large country estate. Several of his business associates, including George E. Van Hagen, also built large estates in the area and ran their summer homes as year-round dairy farms.
In 1921, the Barrington Hills Country Club, with its eighteen-hole golf course, was established on 200 acres (81 ha) of unfarmable land between County Line Road, Oak Knoll Road, and Northwest Highway. The land was donated by three of the club's early founders: H. Stillson Hart, who owned the farmstead known as Hart Hills just to the east of the club; George E. Van Hagen of Wakefield Farm, who owned the land just to the west of the club; and J.R. Cardwell, whose Oak Knoll Farm swelled along the winding Oak Knoll Road on the club's northern end. Van Hagen became the club's first president. Noted Chicago architect Robert Work, who was associated with David Adler, designed the first clubhouse, which was opened in 1926 and burned to the ground in 1930. Work designed the second clubhouse as well, which opened in 1931 and still stands.
Barrington Hills was incorporated in 1957. It was then composed of land only in the northwest corner of Cook County, and expanded over the next five years to its approximate configuration of today. In 1959, areas in McHenry and Lake counties joined the village, and in 1962 the village of Middlebury in Kane County was annexed. With the incorporation of Middlebury, the village government acquired its first building, a single-room school house converted into a police station. The current Village Hall was constructed in 1974 with a substantial addition in 1993. The building hosts the police dispatch center, administrative offices and public meeting room. A fire station was constructed in 1994 on the grounds. The only public school located in the village is Countryside Elementary School, with about 500 students, in grades K-5, in the Barrington Community Unit School District 220. Older students attend the nearby Barrington High School. Portions of the village are also within CUSD 300. Some families send their children to the private Elgin Academy.
Barrington Hills is located at 42°08′24″N 88°12′12″W (42.1399063, -88.2034182).
According to the 2010 census, Barrington Hills has a total area of 28.039 square miles (72.62 km2), of which 27.43 square miles (71.04 km2) (or 97.83%) is land and 0.609 square miles (1.58 km2) (or 2.17%) is water. The village is located within the Fox River watershed of the greater Illinois River waterway. There is about 1,700 feet (520 m) of shoreline along the east bank of the Fox River. Locally there are two perennial stream courses known to the west as Spring Creek and to the east as Flint Creek. Over the years, Flint Creek has been impounded such that along its course in the Cook County portion of the village are substantial lakes with such names as Hawley, Hawthorne, and Keene.
Into the 1990s, farmers still worked about 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) of land. Residential properties of over 1-acre (0.40 ha) covered 30 percent. There is no downtown center, but the village has a small shopping strip along Route 14. With a population of 4,209 in 2010, Barrington Hills has kept its rural flavor as industrial and commercial development has sprung up around its borders.
The village is bordered on the west by East Dundee, Carpentersville, and Algonquin; on the north by Fox River Grove, and Lake Barrington; on the east by Barrington and Inverness; and to the south and southeast by South Barrington, and Hoffman Estates. Barrington Hills is one of only two municipalities in Illinois with land located among four counties.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,915 people, 1,381 households, and 1,168 families residing in the village. The population density was 140.4 people per square mile (54.2/km²). There were 1,456 housing units at an average density of 52.2 per square mile (20.2/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 94.30% White, 0.46% African American, 3.91% Asian, 0.74% from other races, and 0.59% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.92% of the population.
There were 1,381 households out of which 33.6% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 78.9% were married couples living together, 3.5% had a female householder with no husband present, and 15.4% were non-families. 12.5% of all households were made up of individuals and 5.3% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.83 and the average family size was 3.10.
In the village, the population was spread out with 25.3% under the age of 18, 4.6% from 18 to 24, 20.0% from 25 to 44, 37.7% from 45 to 64, and 12.4% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 45 years. For every 100 females, there were 98.1 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 98.6 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $145,330, and the median income for a family was $156,002. Males had a median income of over $100,000 versus $56,167 for females. The per capita income for the village was $73,629. About 0.9% of families and 3.1% of the population were below the poverty line, including 3.9% of those under age 18 and none of those age 65 or over.
The village ranks 87th on the list of highest-income places in the United States with a population over 1,000, with nearby North Barrington, South Barrington, and Inverness also making the list.

The magic of a painted floor can transform a common space into a unique and
beautiful expression of you and your families personality. You can paint
entrance floors, children's rooms, porches, or just about any wooden floor.
Start with this 2 color process, using any colors you choose. Then when you've
mastered this simple process, get creative, add decorative boarders,
quirky elements and personal touches that help create these singularly unique
painted floors.
Step 1:
New Floors:
Sweep and clean surface thoroughly.
Floors: Remove
all nails and repair any damaged or cracked areas. For optimum results, sand
floor completely to remove sealers or previous
paint. If you have a previously painted floor
and you wish to paint over it, like the
project below, scrape off and loose paint
areas, then sand with 120 grit to 180 grit
Using a power
sander to remove and smooth loose particles.
Step 2:
Applying your primer.
Next you will need to
prime the wood
floor. Benjamin Moore's 'Fresh Start'
oil-based primer will provide good results. Refer to
the artSparx basic preparation resource for
tips and techniques.
Use a brush
and a roller to apply the primer, and then
allow to fully dry.
Step 3: Choose
and apply the appropriate oil-based, low-luster finish base color. For this
yellow and white checker board pattern we have
used Benjamin Moore 'Yellow Lotus' (# 2021-50)
Satin Impervo oil-based paint. Allow to fully dry (24

use oil paint instead of water based paint?
To insure durability and long life for
your floor it is recommended that you use
oil-based products. Floors are high traffic
zones, subject to allot of wear and tear. Oil
based products can last years longer than
comparable water based paints.
4: Determine the size of the outside
border. 10 inches is a nice, substantial size,
without becoming to dominant. If you have a

Hi Jeffry, thank you. Indeed 360flex looks very interesting .. I will look into that. You leave me confused on the Adobe Flex vs. Apache Flex. I was assuming that Adobe hands over Flex completely to the Apache foundation. Is it not?

Product Description
God's Own Concentrates(GOC) are produced through a combination of BHO extraction and Fractional Distillation. GOC stresses that this is the best and only method for insuring and maintaining the specific individual characteristics of the base strains of cannabis that they use which allows GOC concentrates to keep all of their original flavour notes and personalized highs which each strain provides. All of the GOC shatter is free of all residual solvents, a result of purging all of their concentrates for 5 days. This also helps to make GOC shatter incredibly smooth and at the same time very strong. Some GOC concentrate lines may appear a bit dark and this is by choice as GOC has chosen strength and potency over aesthetics. Lastly, GOC does not use sugar based syrups or flavorings in any of their shatter lines, only strain based terpenes to enhance the existing flavour notes. GOC Concentrates THC percentages come in between the mid 70's to almost 90% range depending on the strains used. God's Own Concentrates(GOC) has chosen to produce shatter products that are as true to the original cannabis strain used as possible.

Another minute passes and another free agent is rumored to have the Lakers interest. It was reported by Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders that the Lakers are interested in Maurice "Moe" Harkless.
The Pistons, Wizards, Bulls, Lakers and Mavericks are among the teams interested in restricted free agent Moe Harkless, per sources.
— Alex Kennedy (@AlexKennedyNBA) July 1, 2016
The 23 year old forward out of St Johns was initially drafted by the 76ers. After a few trades, he wound up having a solid year in Portland. The 6'9 wing had a solid season coming off the bench for the Trail Blazers. Scoring 6 points per game and grabbing 3 rebounds, his numbers aren't great. However, his main focus was bringing defense off the bench. His per 36 numbers paint the picture of a forward that could play important minutes when given the opportunity.
Restricted Free Agent
Since this is Harkless' first foray into free agency, he is a restricted free agent. What this means is that Portland can match any team that signs him to an offer sheet. The good news for teams is that unlike Jordan Clarkson, he was a first round selection. This means that the Arenas Rule does not apply to him. A team could offer him a max contract if they wanted, but Portland would have the right to match it. A writer's prediction is that he will be worth around the 6-7 million range depending on the years.
Overall, Moe Harkless would be a great pickup for the Lakers. Possibly most importantly, it would likely signal the end of Nick Young's time as a Laker. Harkless could be the backup defensive wing that makes an impact off the bench. Depending on what the Lakers may end up offering, he could be an excellent steal. That said, the Trail Blazers could steal him right back by matching their offer. If he agrees to sign with the Lakers, the ball will be in Portland's court.

The Early Orthodontic Evaluation
Many parents with young children have questions about orthodontics: Will my son or daughter need braces? When do you start? How much will it cost?
We are committed to helping parents understand their child's growth and development from their first visit. At age 1, we look at tooth eruption patterns and tooth spacing. For the next few years, we monitor jaw growth and discuss the influence habits have on teeth. By age 7, most children are erupting their first adult teeth and the signs of adult bite problems become apparent.
Our goals of balance and stability for the entire chewing system are consistent with many of the reasons why a person would need orthodontics. Many malocclusions (bite problems) are a combination of tooth position and jaw growth issues. The practice of orthodontics is concerned with improving the position of teeth, as well as positively influencing jaw growth. Our goal should be to use the many years of growth to your advantage.
In accordance with the American Association of Orthodontists, we recommend that children have their first orthodontic evaluation by the age of 7. With early evaluation and diagnosis, children have the best chance achieving excellent orthodontic results. By using the natural growth period to correct problems, early treatment often allows us to avoid surgery, tooth extractions, or other serious complications.
The goal of early evaluation is to identify issues, and the goals of "Interceptive Treatment/Phase I" is to correct early bite problems by shaping jaw growth. Early treatment can prevent many problems from developing, some of which include crowding, upper/lower jaw growth mismatch, crossbites, and overbite/underbite. When your child participates in routine preventative care, you can count on us to recognize these problems and make recommendations that will coordinate with your child's orthodontic care to achieve the best possible and functional dental health for your child. Whatever you or your child's age, please ask us at your next visit how we can help improve you or your loved one's smile.

New method of oligomeric acetoxymethylsiloxanes synthesis
The studies proposed a new method of synthesis of various structures oligomer acetoxymethylsiloxanes with the use of heterofunctional condensation reaction between acetoxymethyldimethylacetoxysilane and alkali metals siloxanolats. The indicated oligomer used as intermediate products in the synthesis of different compounds, for example, organosilicon carbofunctional α-alcohols, which are the starting point for production of polysiloxaneurethanes and other polymeric and composite materials with a number of useful properties. It has been found that the reaction proceeds in high yield (over 91%) in the temperature range 0–110°С in inert (under synthesis conditions) solvents – toluene or dioxane. Reaction proceed in heterogeneous or homogeneous conditions depending on the structure of siloxanolats. Take into account that typical segregation acetoxymethyl group with creation of methylacetate which proceeds under influence of nucleophilic agent – alkali metal siloxanolat. Required conditions for successful reaction heterofunctional condensation is the absence in a reaction of mass proton-donating agents which cause passing of concurrent reactions (water, alcohols, acids etc.).

GIBRALTAR, June 11, 2013
Following a hugely successful trial which attracted more than 5,000 new traders in less than a month, the German investment bank Varengold is extending the offer to €1,000,000. Up to 10,000 additional tradimo.com members will get €100 each in their trading account to start trading Forex. Enabling new traders to trade with real money will help develop a more realistic trading psychology than can be achieved with demo trading (see the Demo Account Dilemma infographic). Sebastian Kuhnert, CEO of tradimo.com, commented:
"It's one thing to learn the mechanics of trading on a demo account, but it's an entirely different experience trading with real money – even if it was free."
Varengold believes that well educated traders will be more profitable in the long run – which is why they partnered with the new trading school, tradimo.com. The young start-up is focused on education, offering hundreds of free lessons and live coaching. To cope with with the big influx in new members, tradimo has had to expand the number of free coaching sessions. Jack Inman, a trading coach at tradimo had this to say:
"We get to see first-hand how the demo account dilemma plays out with our traders. It will be really interesting to see how people learn to manage the psychological challenges of trading with real money."
Both Varengold and tradimo are realistic that most new traders won't become professional traders using free money alone, but they hope some people will continue to use trading as a viable personal investment vehicle. For more information, see the Varengold Free 100 offer.
