Award recipients for the International and Keystone Awards and the Publication Prize will be selected by their respective jurors on the basis of exceptional, distinctive talent as evidenced by the strength of their submitted portfolios.
The jurors are especially interested in seeing portfolios with a strong narrative thrust and highly individual, original points of view. Winners will be notified via phone immediately following the decision of the juror. Non-selected photographers will be notified by email shortly thereafter. Decisions of the jurors are final and binding.
All U.S. and international amateur and professional photographers, age 18 and older at the time of submission, may apply.
Silver Eye staff and their relatives, board members, current interns, and past Fellowship winners are not eligible to apply.
Cash awards are given as prizes to the winning artists, and artists are not required to use the cash award to cover the cost of exhibition expenses. If chosen as an International or Keystone Award recipient, artists must provide work that is exhibition-ready. Silver Eye Center for Photography may be able to provide limited assistance with printing, matting, and framing work.
The artist pays for one-way shipping with an agreed-upon carrier such as FedEx and for expenses related to the packing of the work.
Silver Eye Center for Photography will cover return shipping using a price-match of the cost of shipping for initial delivery. Artists must submit shipping receipts to Silver Eye in order to verify shipping costs. If the price of return shipping exceeds the price-match, the artist will cover the difference for the cost.
Specifications (design, format, edition size) will be determined in collaboration with the artist and with consideration to the provided budget. The edition size will average between 300-500 copies of which the winner will receive 25 artist copies. Silver Eye and Spaces Corners are responsible for the production costs, marketing support, and distribution of the publication. Publication copyright for the edition will belong solely to the artist and the publishers.

Every cloud…
At RotaMaster we understand that our clients' data is sensitive, vital to their service, and there's a lot of it! We also understand the importance of protecting data, and having it readily available in any circumstance.
Prior to the inception of the RotaMaster Cloud, our customers only had the option to self-host the system, meaning they were vulnerable to local performance issues and restricted by policies and procedures of other systems being used. We found they were looking for alternative solutions, which lead us to introduce RotaMasters own cloud for this data.
Currently over 75% of our customers use RotaMasters cloud hosted system, and interestingly all of our new customers to RotaMaster since 2011 have opted for us to take on responsibility for their data.
Here are some of the silver linings that come with using our Cloud:
- Flexibility and Freedom – We know that your job doesn't always finish when you leave the office and we also know that sometimes it's nice to have the option to do your rotas from home, in your pyjamas with a cup of tea. The system can be accessed anywhere with an internet connection allowing you to access your rotas urgently out of office hours or at home while you put the kettle on.
- Low Maintenance – Like any relationship, it can be tough when one party is demanding of your time and exhausting your attention span. If you are cloud hosted with us, system maintenance, upgrades and big fixes are easy as pie, meaning you can focus on getting the most out of the system and it tools. Go on, put your feet up, we don't want to be the nagging other half.
- Disaster Recovery – Don't send out the bat signals just yet. RotaMaster's support team are contactable 24/7, which means in the case of an emergency getting you back on your feet is our job. The super hero capes are an optional extra.
- No Installation – All you need to access RotaMaster on our cloud hosted system is the internet. This eliminates the need for Citrix servers and with that the overhead costs of keeping them maintained. Give your finance department some good news
If you would like to find out more about our cloud, contact the commercial team on 01924 252 360.

There's just something refreshing about breaks in regular patterns of life. It's even sweeter when that break in life is a sweet friend from the States! Joey Tartaglia came to PNG to give the Canns their third language check in nDo. What's great is that we had the opportunity to visit with him for a few days before he flew into Mareroro, and we have several days with him before he departs this Friday.
Joey is a director of Finisterre Vision. He is also the one who trained us for PNG. This always makes for easy conversations, recalling fond memories and a lot of laughter. The three of us have had planning meetings for current and future goals of the Logistics role. We have also been making some plans for furlough, which is just two months away. Lastly, we have been meeting about some possible missionaries coming on board with Finisterre Vision. We are always excited about the possibility of new laborers, bringing the gospel to remote language groups in the Finisterre Range.
The most exciting part of the trip was the news that the Canns are 85% proficient in the nDo language! Praise the Lord for their diligence and the Lord's grace in learning the language so quickly.

Angel Surprizes
I walked over to see her bible more closely. The page was rising & falling on this passage..."
September 08, 2007
Hi guys,
I had an amazing morning. The Lord led me to attend a small group women's bible study at our church. I am not normally part of this group. They are working through Revelation, and were on chapter 6. A discussion emerged about the supernatural and the ministry of angels. This was partly due to the fact that we are preparing for Go Sunday, an outreach event on September 30.
One of the women heard a strange creaking noise coming out of her bible. The Lord then gave me a vision of a huge old antique wooden door that was being opened. God confirmed this through another woman who said that woman's bible was the door. Then every woman in the room saw the middle of one of the pages of this woman's bible begin to rise and fall, almost like when you lie on your back and your abdomen rises & falls as you breathe. (what an image for the living, breathing word of God!)
I walked over to see her bible more closely. The page was rising & falling on this passage:
"All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshipped God..."
Revelation 7:11
I have continued to see angels today - so far I've seen 2 more in the building - I am just amazed!
wow God!
Dawn Okpisz
Did you all fall down and start worshiping God?
Try that some time when you see something miraculous. Don't stop at the
miraculous, go to where it is pointing you to. In this case I would
think it was to joing the throne room of angles and worship.
He is coming soon and is preparing us to move past the signs and
wonders. I know it is hard to do but try it some time when you are
Fall down on your face and worship Him repent rejoice whatever your
heart cries out for. Don't stop at the door, enter in.
Donna T.
Come Share the Joy!
Abide in Him! ><>
Mine Eyes have seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord!

Sent: Sat, 8 Sep 2007 3:43 pm
Subject: Re: [NEW-WINE] surprised by angels today
One woman put her head down and began to worship - all of us started
praising God - and about the same time some began to spontaneously
prophesy - one woman asked for prayer - the woman with the "breathing
bible" reached her hand up where I had seen another angel overhead...
Note from SVR Ministries: Dawn has many stories of herself and others seeing angels and also experiencing gifts of gems. Contact her for more info.

Hello guys in thiI see some forum members with thousands of posts, and I'm always wondering, "WOW! These guys must be getting a ton of traffic just from their forum signatures."
How many posts do you have and about how much traffic are you getting a month from your forum signature links?

Not a whole lot, but it's free traffic each month, so not bad.

By Sahid Fawaz
A "right to work" referendum originally scheduled for November has state Republican legislators uneasy. In response, they passed two initiatives today to create roadblocks to those who oppose "right to work."
The St. Louis Dispatch reports:
"In the span of several hours Friday, Missouri lawmakers approved two different measures that some worry could undermine a referendum on the state's 'right to work' law.
Around 5:30 a.m., after an overnight Democrat-led filibuster, the Senate endorsed moving the referendum from the November general election ballot to the August primary ballot, when turnout is lower. At noon, the House endorsed a proposed constitutional amendment making Missouri a right to work state.
'This will ensure once and for all, enshrining in our Constitution, you have the ability to choose what you belong to,' said the amendment's sponsor, Rep. Rick Brattin, R-Harrisonville.
Voters would have to approve the amendment, but it's unclear if it would appear on the August or November ballots. Either way, Rep. Karla May, D-St. Louis, said the proposal would undercut the referendum.
'Now you're trying to undermine democracy,' she told Brattin on the House floor."

Hi there, lovely person reading this. Hello friend I haven't seen a while. Hi there, random person at a party I literally never have seen in my life. Hola to the people I see in the elevator. Bonjour to the people that are new to my life.
Introverts like me try to keep conversation simple when they know there's really no point in elaborating. Like, if I'm never going to see you again and I have no interest in you as a human being, I'm not gonna get that deep. I'm going to try to end the conversation probably as soon as I can.
So when you ask me questions such as, "Why did you move to California?" and I say, "Just because I wanted to," don't assume I don't know what I'm doing. You don't need to know. Stop shooting me with thousands of questions because you don't understand my way of life.
It's too hard for me to explain myself because my life isn't a chapter, it isn't even a novel, it's a fucking series. Therefore, sometimes I keep it simple with a few words because I don't need my life to be validated by some random individual.
"So..it wasn't for school?" No, it wasn't. Not everything in a young adults life is for school. I don't follow a formulaic path of life and there's nothing wrong with that.
"So like, what is your goal then?"
Uhhhh...being happy and living my life. People assume because I moved to a city filled with opportunity that is my goal to be some rich actress-model-director hybrid and that's not the case. I just feel more comfortable with more opportunity around me.
"Wait you live THERE? You work there? You don't have a car? You're dating him? Wait, why? You drove here? You left NYC? You left your hometown? Wait what what's going on?"
Congratulations on being boring and privileged and not understanding that not everyone has a 2015 BMW and goes to an Ivy League school for accounting and has never left their hometown and has never worked a minimum wage job or any job in their life because their parents pay for everything.
No hate, but don't act so shocked when people are less privileged than you.
I don't need a label for my occupation. I'm sick of people trying to figure me out. I work so many different jobs and gigs and I have so many different goals and what I do to make money doesn't define who I am.
I'm sick of having to answer questions with sugarcoated answers because people don't understand. You don't need to understand homie. Exit to the left.

Water Buffalo
Bubalus bubalis/ Bubalus arnee
Most Asian Water Buffalo are domesticated and have been for hundreds of years, so have their own species --
Bubalus bubalis
(below) -- but some of their wild cousins remain in northeast India and southeast Asia and are given a separate species
Bubalus arnee
or a subspecies
Bubalus bubalis arnee
(above). The wild African/Cape Buffalo is a different genus.
The wild Water Buffalo (above) look similar to the domestic (below) but are significantly larger, the second or third largest wild cattle after the Asian Gaur and, possibly, the wild Yak, and about a third larger than their domestic counterparts (below) at some 6 foot shoulder height. They also have white socks like the wild Gaur and Banteng. Both male and female Water Buffalo have large horns. They love being half-submerged in water on a hot day.

The year was 1935. Jobs in Central Florida, as in the rest of the nation, were as hard to find as Lake County oranges are today.
So Ormund Powers, fresh from the University of Florida's journalism school, was beside himself with excitement when the powers-that-be at The Orlando Sentinel offered him a job as its first Lake County reporter. It was his chance to jump from the errand-running duties of a downtown copy boy to covering trials, crimes and local government first-hand.

That leaves just Windows 10 Mobile which is running on only 20% of Windows Phone devices.
With Microsoft's share of the smartphone market at just 0.3% many view today as the death of Windows Phone. Microsoft hasn't announced any significant phone updates of late and it's suggested that perhaps the company will just maintain Windows 10 Mobile until support ends in 2018.
There are some rumors however that Microsoft will unveil a Surface Phone soon. The device will purportedly have a 5.5-inch OLED display, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of Storage, microSD card expansion, and a 20MP camera.

Last week, Banks, who will direct the film, noted that "Pitch Perfect 2" will jump in time and will follow Wilson and Anna Kendrick's characters through graduation from Barden University. Even though the follow-up film won't be released for over a year, we ... can't ... wait.

St. Albert Amplify Festival
Oct. 13 and 14
Kinsmen Banquet Centre
47 Riel Dr.
Tickets: $10 for concerts and workshops. Visit http://www.eventbrite.ca
When you boil St. Albert Amplify Festival down to its essence, it is a vibrant two-day arts umbrella – an annual festival that celebrates the boundless creativity of young minds.
Young artists are not held prisoner to rules and boundaries. Rules are meant to be tested and broken, and that is where their creativity shines its brightest.
Conceived as a youth-curated festival for students in Grade 7 to 21 years, Amplify Festival's fourth edition introduces funky art exhibitions, cutting-edge dance performances, beat-busting concerts and a dynamic poetry slam.
In addition ticketed experimental workshops as well as free events will be available to all festival goers on Oct. 13 and 14 at the Kinsmen Banquet Centre.
"You don't have to feel like you're an artist to attend. Everyone is an artist within, and we have so many easy activities to enjoy. Just come out and try it. And if you like music, there's a concert. This festival gives opportunities for youth to discover their abilities and challenge themselves. No matter who you are, there is something for everyone," said Kathleen Bell, youth festival associate.
This year's theme, selected by 20 members of the youth advisory committee, is "Challenge Your Instincts."
Bell notes the theme was inspired by the hipster cartoon animals (wolf, bear, owl, and deer), a nod to Canada's 150th anniversary, on the Amplify home page http://stalbert.ca/exp/amplify
"We wanted something to encourage our peers to try something new. People might be afraid to take risks, but the rewards can be huge. And here we have a huge well of resources that can help bring out their talents."
Wrap-Up Party
Saturday, Oct. 14
• Royal Foundry is the big Saturday night headliner. Co-founders Jared Salte and Bethany Schumacher, partners in music and life, have come a long way since they first opened at Amplify in 2015 for Zerbin.
They won second place in Alberta's 2015 Peak Performance Project, netting $75,000. The duo toured Canada, performed at Seven Music Fest and just released their sophomore album Lost In Your Head.
"They exist at a crossroads between indie rock, electro pop and dance music. They exhibit so much energy, but they are also excellent singer-songwriters. They are clever, fun and positive," noted Bell.
• St. Albert's own Paul Woida creates magic on stage with just a simple guitar and loop pedal. Over the past five years he's developed a hardcore fan base eager to hear his in-the-moment conceived pop covers and self-styled originals.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with the most influential musicians in the province, he won the Hot 107 $10,000 Hot Factor Competition and the 2016 Air Miles Detour Big Break where he opened for Meghan Trainor in Nova Scotia.
"Paul has come out on top because of his energy and sensitivity. And the way he builds songs on stage is simply incredible."
• Opening for Saturday night's two main acts is The Prototype (formerly 5 Cents Richer), the winners of Amplify's The Show 3.0. The Bellerose High band is composed of Chloe Yakymyshyn (lead singer), Cody Shyan (guitar) and Kris Pittet (drummer).
"Chloe has a beautiful haunting voice and they play piano, electric guitar and drums. On top of the ethereal and dramatic melody, the drumming is high energy and intense."
The Show 4.0
Friday, Oct. 13
The Show, now in its fourth edition, is a competition where local and regional talent duke it out to win a spot on Amplify's Saturday night stage.
Five acts are laying claim to the prize. In addition, to receiving the opening spot on the Saturday night stage, the winning act also receives a generous marketing package from PlanIt Sound, and a song video from Amplify.
The brass-inspired Thursdays, now one player richer as a six-piece, kicks off the high-energy evening with their unique dance sound blending alto sax, trombone, trumpet, drums, guitar and bass.
Led by singer Andrea Shipka, the four-piece Shipwrecked promises to deliver powerful indie rock even as Paul Kane singer Deanna Missins pulls all the stops for a solo pop cover segment.
St. Albert Catholic High's The Pedestrians, fronted by Evan Salcedo, is a groove based, emotion-packed rock band that highlights solos. The fifth and last contestant, Steve Badry, is an acoustic folksinger with strong focus on lyrics. Each act will perform a 25-minute set.
Interspersed between acts are three dance companies with vastly different formats. Viva Dance focuses on contemporary choreography; NXG Edmonton performs hip hop to a mashup of popular songs, and Dance Co. slings both contemporary and hip hop.
Tickets for both shows are $10 and are available http://www.eventbrite.ca.
Workshops are great primers to test out new skills. The much-in-demand Stage Fighting 101 and the incredibly popular Henna Body Art session are back with slots filling up quickly.
Also in its third year is Halloween Gore/F/X Make Up, a workshop where students dramatically change their looks using a few simple makeup tricks.
With the popularity of social media, organizers added Instagram Photography where students are taught to create impressive images that achieve immediate impact.
New this year is a pottery workshop where participants make a clay panda pot for plants. Also celebrating vegetation is a micro-gardening workshop.
"Micro-gardening was one of the most popular things the committee wanted. They insisted on having a floral workshop. They're very into micro-gardening. It's exploded in popularity," Bell said.
Also new this year is making a leather cuff from recycled belts and a professional cupcake decorating workshop. All workshop tickets are $10 and can be purchased online http://stalbert.ca/exp/amplify.
Free stuff
A big chunk of Amplify's mission is to encourage students to share their craft with like-minded collaborators. To that end, Amplify continues the tradition of offering free stuff.
This year, more than 100 youth artists will take part on the Acoustic Stage, the Youth Visual Art Exhibit and the Poetry Slam. In addition, organizers hope curious youth will immerse themselves in novel activities such as bath-bomb making, mug painting and T-shirt tie-dying to name a few.
This year, Cultural Services also purchased a button maker that makes lapel buttons. Basically, visitors are given a blank piece of paper to create their own design or they choose a printed pattern. The design is fed into the machine and presto – in 15 seconds the button is complete.
"It's been wildly popular. It's so fascinating because it's new."
A new silk-screen machine will also be on site where participants can choose to make either a shopping bag or a cross-over shoulder bag.
"We have canvas bags. You can come up to the station, grab a bag and choose where you would like to place it. We will walk you through the process and it will dry in an hour."
And if visitors just want to stroll through the site, check out Byron Martin, the roving magician performing card tricks, C.M. Matty, the merchant poet who writes a personalized poem on the spot, or Simon Glassman, the caricature artist.

This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
It all began with a vision. A desire to share the magical island of Kauai with the world. And, founder, Lucy Kawaihalau, has dedicated her life to that goal through Kauai Vacation Rentals. "In a vacation rental home or condo, you really feel like you're living here," reflects Lucy, "so bringing together home owners and guests to achieve the 'best fit' is only a part of our distinguished reputation. Our responsibilities are twofold. For our owners, we provide the best management and maintenance services so they can rest easy, knowing their homes are meticulously cared for, since they may be thousands of miles away from their investment. For our guests, we believe they should be treated like royalty." And, it is the respect for the guest that gained Kauai Vacation Rentals recognition throughout the world. A friendly team dedicated to serving the needs of guests, with attention to all the details, makes it all possible. "A vacation to Kauai is so meaningful," adds Lucy. "For some, it may be the trip of a lifetime. For others, it may be a yearly event. This is a splendid place to relax. Our guests are 'energized' when they go home. That's what we mean when we say, 'magical Kauai.' " This genuine business model embodies the Hawaiian word, 'Aloha,' and it has gained much recognition within the industry and business venues, including numerous awards. Many glowing articles have been written, from Kauai Business & Real Estate Magazine, Hawaii Business, and internationally distributed Travel & Leisure Magazine to famed Fortune Magazine. In fact, Lucy Kawaihalau was personally honored with coveted awards from the Small Business Administration and Kauai Chamber of Commerce for her successful business achievements. Lucy concludes, "I am deeply grateful for our recognition and awards. Yet, it is the phone call, with heartfelt and glowing remarks about a visit to Kauai from a satisfied guest that brings us great joy. Therein lies our greatest achievement."
The home and property are beautiful and well designed for privacy and efficiency. The tide pools are amazing. They are filled with fascinating life and are nurseries for the ocean beyond the tide pools
Next time I'll go snorkeling
Wow, where do I begin? How about talking about the location is the absolute getaway. You are on a secluded section of the road down from all the business so you don't see or hear anyone unless you want to. The view from anywhere in the house is amazing, with turtles regularly swimming right next to the house and relaxing on the little beach. We loved how each bedroom is its own separate unit with bathroom and patio, so if you need a little quiet time away from the others in your party, not a problem. The kitchen was fully equipped with all of the utensils and devices we needed. We really had a great time and were sad to have to leave the house! And Kaua'i!
We stayed at this property in late July 2015. The pictures are great but don't even do it justice. It is a very expansive piece of property with a large pool/hot tub area, lawn, salt water cove, and small sand area with lanais all along the house that provide multiple views and different areas to enjoy, including direct views of Spouting Horn as it is immediately adjacent to that. The kitchen is completely stocked with equipment; there is also a full entertainment system as well as Wifi access and many other amenities. The bedroom and bathroom areas have been even updated since the pictures shown here. It is convenient to the Botanical Gardens right across the street as well as the entire Poipu area just a short drive (1-2 miles) away. The only downside is that there is no A/C and, although there are breezes if you keep the windows open, if you are sensitive to that may be important to you. Also, since you are right on the ocean, the waves are audibly crashing - a nice thing really, but if you are sensitive to noise for sleeping something to consider as you won't want to close the windows if it is hot. I would highly recommend, especially when the weather is not necessarily at its hottest.

The Cincinnati Bengals are maintaining the status quo with coach Marvin Lewis signing a two-year contract, but Lewis suggested he realizes some things do need to change as he returns for Cheap Jerseys a 16th season. Offensive line coach Paul Alexander, who has been with the Bengals since 1994, had an unusually long tenure in a league where moving is common. However, the past two seasons have made it clear the offensive line needs an overhaul. Andy Dalton has been sacked 80 times in the past two years alone, and the run game also has struggled. It was clear this was a needed change, and perhaps something Lewis pushed for in his meetings with Bengals owner Mike Brown. The Bengals will bring back offensive coordinator Bill Lazor, despite finishing last in offense this season. It could be argued that Lazor was working in the confines of Ken Zampese's offense after taking over for him in Week 3. Clearly, the team believes in him enough to give him a second chance. Marvin Lewis addressed a variety of topics on Wednesday, including the importance of a two-year contract. John Minchillo/Associated Press Lazor needs to prove he can turn things around quickly once it's truly his offense. Otherwise 2018 will bring more of the same. Brown rarely speaks to the media, and he continued that habit during the Wednesday news conference to announce Ezekiel Elliott Jerseys Lewis' return. Brown usually talks to reporters at the owners' meetings in the spring and again right before the season. Brown did address reporters in a joint news conference in 2010 after he and Lewis came to an extension following a losing season in which Lewis had been a lame-duck coach. However, he didn't show up at this one, leaving Lewis to answer questions by himself. Brown likely isn't blind to a disgruntled fan base that has stopped going to games in droves and has been restless for change, but he also likely thinks that winning will cure the problem. Lewis was asked if he requested anything of Brown during their talks, specifically staff changes or facility upgrades. The Bengals remain the northernmost team without an indoor practice facility. Lewis said those are things that don't keep teams from winning. "All that stuff is nebulous — whether that [results in] wins or not," Lewis said. "I've coached three teams — actually, all four teams — in this division, and believe me, that has nothing to do with winning. Winning and losing is done out there in those classrooms, meeting Derek Carr Jerseys rooms, the field, practice, and out there in games. The rest of that stuff can help, and we do everything we can to aide our players in that way, and I feel good about that — the things that we do, and will continue to do, and get better with and make sure we do change, because everything changes all of the time with these athletes." The Bengals rarely sign big-name free agents and are rarely very active in the free-agent market. It's possible the team might change that philosophy somewhat. Lewis didn't outright say they would be more active but did say he wanted to make sure to add players who could help the team win. He also said he thought the reputation the Bengals have for not spending money on players isn't true. "We do like to grow guys from the ground up, which is important because you [can] instill in them correct habits — you're not trying to break habits — [but] I do think that we all understand that, when we have a hole, we have another avenue to fill that hole with a better player, it it's [a good fit], through free agency," he said. Lewis has been given a one-year extension almost every offseason for several years and went into last offseason with no contract. He said it was important this time to get a two-year contract. That would relieve him of lame-duck status and perhaps quiet some talks that he's leaving at the end of next season. "It's very important," he said. "We're going to go out and have some change on this staff, and I think it's very important for a coach, if he is currently employed, that he has the chance to be here for at least two football seasons." Dalton hasn't looked the same since Hue Jackson left after the 2015 season. It's likely that's partially Dalton, partially coaching and partially the offensive line. Lewis said he understands the need to get back to being a vertical-threat team and getting Dalton back to top form. "We have an amazing group of threats at DeShaun Watson Jerseys wide receiver, and we have to capitalize on that," Lewis said. "We have to get our quarterback to be the guy that we expect him to be day in and day out and lead the football team that way. That means we have to keep him from getting jostled around, and when he does, he has to be able to move and make throws on the move like we've all seen him do."
Wow! This jersey model of my favorite team is looking awesome. I liked the color combination of them. I heard that this time the team management has asked the famous top essay writing services fashion designing company to do design to their team players and staff. Now they are shinning like stars in ground.

The Yankees closer decision just got a lot simpler.
The team placed David Robertson on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday, according to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. The reliever traveled from Baltimore to New York to have an MRI exam on his sore left rib cage, which revealed a strained left oblique.
Rafael Soriano, who is 2-for-2 in save opportunities since Mariano Rivera was lost for the season with a torn ACL, will now be the full-time closer for the time being. Robertson got the first two chances and blew the second one against the Rays.
Cody Eppley, who has pitched in five games for the Yankees this season, will take Robertson's place on the roster. The Yankees are still awaiting word on starter Ivan Nova, who left Monday night's start in Baltimore and was taken for X-rays on his right foot after being hit by a batted ball in the third and rolling his ankle fielding another in the sixth.
"Nova, I checked in driving down here and he was still sleeping, so he hasn't had a chance to get up," Cashman said at the Pinstripe Bowl's charity golf tournament at Forsgate Country Club in Monroe Township, N.J. "I don't know if we'll know anything today unless his foot's blown up and swollen significantly.
"I think it's one of those you might need a few days to figure out on him, the way it appeared last night, unless he wakes up today and the swelling is obvious and things of that nature, then it's a different call, so I don't think we'll be in a position to make a call on him today."
The injuries to the two pitchers are the latest in what has been an eventful early part of the season for the Yankees, who have seen Michael Pineda and Rivera felled by season-ending injuries. Cashman also said there is no date set for Rivera's knee surgery.
"I can't describe it other than to say that it's always the unpredictable. We have a lot of talent, and that's keeping us where we're at and in the hunt, which isn't unusual for any team," Cashman said.
"You're not putting out the team, for the most part, you intended to put out, or playing at the level you expect to. It just doesn't typically happen."

DEAR BILLY GRAHAM: What does God look like? My sister tried to draw a picture of God once, but my parents said they weren't sure if she got it right. She made him look kind of like the sun. I am 9 years old. — Z.H.You have to love kids sometimes. Nine years old and what is the pressing matter that ZH writes in to the newspaper about? 'Is my sister's drawing of God accurate?' The funny thing is that his sister did kind of get it right though, so long as she was trying to draw one of the many solar deities.
DEAR H.N.: God isn't like anything we will ever see around us, because he doesn't have a physical body or a physical nature. Instead, God is a spiritual being, and he is everywhere. (This is one reason the Bible commands us not to make idols.) Jesus said, "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth" (John 4:24).So wait... is the kid ZH or HN? Also has Billy ever read his own Bible? Because some of what he just said is contradicted by his very own holy book. For example, Genesis 1:26-27...
Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.But here's the thing. If God doesn't have a physical form, then there was no 'image' for him to fashion mankind after. Also what about when God shows himself to Moses in Exodus 33:18-23?
And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.So according to this not only does God have a form and a face, but he also set it up to moon Moses in some sort of divine peep show.
And on the idols bit... That was actually more about worshiping other gods. But Christianity pissed all over that commandment anyway what with every church being filled with statues of Jesus, Mary, saints, etc...
Does this mean we can't know anything about God, since we can't see him? No, not at all. God made us, and he loves us and wants us to know what he is like.How the Bible says he's like, or how the evidence says he's like? Because the Bible shows him to be a murderous, genocidal, sadistic, egomaniac. And the evidence simply shows no trace of his existence at all.
So was this little boy's sister's drawing accurate? No. In fact her drawing was already more accurate before she ever started. That blank page was already a perfect representation of God. This is because the absence of the drawing perfectly mirrors the high likelihood that he doesn't exist. Likewise, the second pencil meets paper she, like people throughout history, started creating her own god. All gods are human creations that have traits given to them by their creators. Just like we create the drawing, we have also created our gods.

Dagne, an advice columnist intent on writing a novel.
A former lover who can be a louse. A parent with a dodgy background. A hero figure who promises romance. A white pickup too often on the scene. Three cousins who are really brothers. The full gamut of emotion from rage to ecstasy.
These components fit in Spencer's romance cum crime novel in which the action is as well written as any crime or thriller. The descriptive passages of the environment on Chincoteague Island enable the reader to easily visualise a place they may never visit.
The closeness of the community allows the characters to know each other's lives and family histories, and thus the picture of the motive for crime becomes clearer. Some characters are amusing: Alex, owning many small businesses named after himself, who sees all; Starlyn, desperate to keep her wandering husband on a leash; Bert, snooping to check the neighbourhood, as all elderly citizens feel they should; and more. Others are…worrying, to say the least: jealous, inadequate, confrontational, suspicious, lecherous–not atypical of a small town community.
There are worse traits to emerge from under the veneer of polite, or romantic, interactions. Spencer reveals them all as Dagne tries to write her novel as well as continuing her advice column, while unknowingly being involved in a murder investigation–and nearly a victim. The closure is convincing, and this has been one of the very few romance novels I have enjoyed

9to5 National Action Network Info
The 9to5 Action Network was formed in 1993, in response to the passage of the Family and Medical Leave Act. 9to5 was one of several national organizations that helped pass this landmark bill. We knew that when the law went into effect in July 1993, that many people would have questions about who was covered and how to use this new law.
In addition to training staff and leaders of all chapters, we put out a request (by phone and mail in those pre-internet days) to members across the country, to join a 9to5 Response Team to provide information about this new law to people in their communities. More than 50 members from two dozen states responded! These Response Team members became the first leaders of the 9to5 Action Network.
Over the past two decades, 9to5 Action Network members have:
- Spoken at state and federal legislative hearings
- Authored dozens of Op Eds and letters to the editor
- Registered hundreds of voters
- Participated in Regional and National 9to5 Leadership Conferences
- Served on the 9to5 National Board
- Provided local referrals and support to hundreds of Helpline callers from their cities
- Organized local workshops, meetings and social events for 9to5 members
- Participated as 9to5 representatives in rallies, marches, press conferences and grassroots lobby days lead by 9to5 coalition partners
Make a difference today by getting involved in 9to5's Action Network.
The Action Network is made up of members who want to be active in their communities but are not currently close to a chapter. Since 1973, thousands of women have made a difference in their workplaces and communities by speaking up about the challenges facing working families.
Even one person can have an impact by speaking out about the need for equal opportunity and pay for women or the ability to stay home when sick without worrying about losing a job or a day's wages. By becoming a member of the Action Network you will join the ranks of thousands of working women and men who are fighting to change workplace policies to ensure everyone has the ability to take care of themselves and their families.
"I am a member of the Action Network because I believe as a mother I should be able to work a full-time job to support my family and still have time to help my son with his homework or stay at home when he has the flu without worrying about losing my job." Holly, 9to5 Action Network
Should you become a member of the Action Network?
If you care about equal opportunity, family-supporting jobs and women's rights, than this the group for you! Here are some things you can do to start making a difference today:
- Educate yourself! Find out about issues that are affect your community and if there are local movements already happening to improve them.
- Contact your elected officials. Whether it is national or local, always take a minute to contact the people who are making decisions that affect you! 9to5 supports family-friendly policies, like paid sick days, and legislators need to hear why this is important.
- Get your friends and family to contact elected officials. There is power in numbers! The more people to speak out about an issue, the more attention it will get from elected officials.
- Register and vote! Every election counts. Don't miss out on an opportunity to cast your ballot.
- Make sure your family and friends register and vote!
- Distribute 9to5 voter guides. Our voter guide is designed to help voters understand the issues that affect the lives of working women and their families.
- Speak out! Attend town hall meetings, write letters to the editor in your local paper, post information about issues you care about in your community!
- Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Rise of the dad cap: 5 brands fronting the headwear trend
Head honchos
One man's hype may be another man's poison, but there's no denying this headwear trend that's crept up on us. Eliminating the hip hop trucker and hipster flat cap in one fell swoop, the dad cap has Hollywood's finest and Korea's trendsetters wrapped around its fitted crown. The ringleader? Anti Social Social Club, turning heads with an endearing oxymoronic logo spelled askew. Amassing a virtual queue that awaits the brand's sporadic and miraculous batch releases, we say scratch that — instead, turn your attention to these five other brands also headlining the dad cap game:
One of Korea's most noteworthy streetwear brands to stand out from the troop, Vibrate has made a name for itself by peddling a rebel attitude. While the signature "blurred" hand logo is undeniably a de facto, here's what we're truly down for: Not your average variety that's loaded with piercings.
On a less serious note, Psychic Hearts imbues the cap trend with a little fluoro from the '90s — tripping on the colour wheel to serve up a miscellany of lucid hues. Play to the subversively macabre label's tagline and declare your inner "psychic" in stonewashed denim:
A born and bred New York skater, Supreme's ex-creative director brings his logo know-how over to Noah. Amidst sharp menswear tailoring and heritage checks are a host of trending caps — riddled with impactful branding and cut from pure wool. Snuggly, and sure to keep the noggin extra cozy.
Compared to the rest, Harding Lane might seem like a contender from the backwaters, but don't knock their souvenir sensibilities just yet. Purveying embroidered motif baseball caps since 2009, the brother and sister duo have in fact, long outlived the trend. Why we love them? Simply because actual dads will still be repping their wares long after the dad cap's fashion demise.
Masterminded by the one and only G-Dragon, the K-pop star has channelled his quirky fashion force into street label, Peaceminusone. Deconstructed hoodies aside, hats off to the frontman of Big Bang for distilling the headwear of the moment; and also, what seems to be the lovechild of his two favourite accessories: Sneakers, and dad caps. Sold.
Opening Ceremony,
Psychic Hearts

ぴんすぽ!-Pin supoGeneralPosted by Gotbild 2017-05-15 21:31:39
Today May 15 was the General rehearsal of Akicha's new drama. The name is ぴんすぽ!-Pin supo. Pin supo means PIN Spot Light's type of stage light. The story is about an underground idol group which is about to disband. The show is produced by Japan Award Promotion-a model/idol management office which is not so well known. And they named the cast girls Dream Princess. Here are posters and some magnifications of Akicha.
Akicha, Nanya and Meimei is the most popular girls in the cast and therefor they are shown on the posters, the rest of the girls is really underground, which means no major exposure, no major management office and so on. I don't know how the rehearsal turned out but we have got a lot of pics of Akicha together with some other girls.

No Added Benefit with Higher Doses of Ketorolac for Treatment of Acute Pain in the Emergency Department
Am Fam Physician. 2017 Aug 15;96(4):262.
Clinical Question
Are lower doses of ketorolac as effective as standard doses for acute pain control in patients presenting to the emergency department?
Bottom Line
A 10-mg dose of ketorolac is as effective as higher doses for the short-term treatment of acute pain for patients in the emergency department. (Level of Evidence = 1b)
Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug available in parenteral form for the treatment of acute pain. Although higher doses are often used, ketorolac may have a therapeutic ceiling of 10 mg. To investigate the effectiveness of lower doses of ketorolac, these investigators used a convenience sample of patients presenting to the emergency department on weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. to enroll those with acute flank, abdominal, musculoskeletal, or headache pain rated at least 5 on a 10-point rating scale. The authors excluded patients with unstable vital signs, active peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding, or history of liver or renal disease, and those who were pregnant or breastfeeding. Using concealed allocation, investigators randomized 240 patients to receive a 10-mg, 15-mg, or 30-mg dose of ketorolac. Patients who still required pain medication 30 minutes after administration of the study drug received intravenous morphine at a dose of 0.1 mg per kg.
The three groups were similar at baseline: All groups had a mean age of 40 years, two-thirds of patients were women, and the baseline pain score was between 7 and 8. Analysis was by intention to treat. The primary outcome was a reduction of pain scores at 30 minutes after administration of the study drug. In all three groups, there was a significant decrease in pain scores from baseline to 30 minutes by at least two points. However, there were no significant differences in reduction of pain scores across the three groups at 30 minutes, or at subsequent time points of 60, 90, and 120 minutes. Further, there were no differences in the use of rescue morphine

She, my mom .... well dressed since I only can remember . Although sometimes I didn't share her style (I am talking about the 80's and 90's) now I think she was always elegant and fashionably dressed. Whenever I have the opportunity, I fumble into her wardrobe in search of treasures... but I regret that I tossed a lot of those treasures to the trash few years ago...
Today, her clothes are in the foreground! Vintage sweater, which I adore due to beautiful texture, and a hat which I loved since I was a little girl. It is 100% from leather. My mother wore it before I was even born! I feel especially in this set, is is "mine" and her outfit. Thank you, Mom!
This styling took part in Siemens Fresh Look competition, if you like my outfit I would appreciate if you could vote HERE:)

Most fans of Battlestar Galactica agree: Lt. Felix Gaeta (played by Alessandro Juliani) is a favorite character. Sure, he started off as little more than a background player on the hit show, but in the past three seasons he's developed a bit of a following. Some say he's secretly a Cylon, others say he's the heart and soul of the titular Battlestar, but one thing is certain -- he very nearly bit the dust in a third season episode last fall called "Collaborators."
Today at Comic-Con, Mark Verheiden, who scripted that episode, revealed that in the early version of the script, Gaeta actually did meet his maker.
"One of our most controversial episodes, we had basically two of our heroes trying to throw a third out an airlock for violating&#Array; basically for collaborating with the Cylons at one point, which he hadn't done," he recalls. "[Those episodes] are very tricky. That episode by the way, which I wrote, was really tricky because &#Array; we really spent some time thinking about that. This was really a dark place to go. They were going to murder one of their comrades, someone who had been on the ship the whole time. And in fact this is [how] the thinking goes. In that episode we originally did kill him because we thought that would be an interesting and dark place to go. And then we said, 'Well, there's dark and there's freaking bleak.' And that was too bleak."
But you can't just have your heroes throw another hero out the airlock, so to speak. You also have to build to that point over the course of your storyline so that it's a believable turn of events, says Verheiden.
"You can't just one day say a character that's been true blue suddenly becomes a&#Array; suddenly tries to cheat on the election like [President] Roslin did," he says. "You have to have put that in their character and I think what's wonderful about Battlestar and the world that Ron Moore and David Eick created that I came onto is that the characters are all wonderfully flawed, flawed from the get-go. We have characters that cheat on their wives, we have a president that cheats on an election."
Verheiden points out that "Collaborators" wasn't the first time that the writers toned the final product down a bit.
"We've had a couple like that where we've pulled back from the brink," he says. "We had another one I wrote called 'Final Cut,' which is the one where we introduced Lucy Lawless. Originally, in that show we had a character who was very upset with something the Colonel had done. &#Array; Originally that character, the Colonel would try to talk him down and we had him committing suicide right in front of him. And the network just said, 'You know what? Again, we're not asking for birthday parties but, wow, that's going pretty heavy.' So it's making sure the characters can support that level of intrigue within themselves and [we're] not just pulling it out. I think the worst thing would be if you watch the show and the President is cheating on the election, and you go, 'I have no idea why she would do that.' But I think we set up as we went that it made complete sense [in terms] of who she was running against, and how much she felt that would have been a terrible thing for that other guy to get the presidency."
Bottom line: Gaeta survived. For now&#Array;
