ēcolav extends price reductions
Times are tough, the markets are volatile and most everybody is cutting back in some way, shape or form. But when it comes to attire and appearance, "cutting back" is rarely an option for successful businessmen and women. Last month, in recognition of these challenging times, ēcolav announced a 25% price reduction on dry cleaning services for men's and women's business garments on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The customer response has been phenomenal.
"Quite frankly, it's been overwhelming," said ēcolav President David Greenberg. "When we announced the promotion, we were confident we would see a good uptick in traffic from new and existing customers," Greenberg said, "but the surge in business on Wednesdays and Thursdays has exceeded all expectations. It certainly validates the decision we made last month. I'm a small businessman myself, and I talk to our customers every day. I know what they are going through. I'm glad ēcolav is able to play a small part in helping our friends in the Miami business community."
In a show of appreciation and for a limited time, ēcolav is extending the 25% price reduction promotion to Monday through Sunday. This discount applies to all men's and women's suits, men's business shirts and women's non-silk blouses. And don't forget the environmental extras that make the ēcolav experience so unique: environmentally-safe solutions, bamboo hangers, biodegradable bags and the one-of-a-kind ēcolav store filled with organic products to support healthy lifestyles.

ēcolav glams in miami modern luxury
Marta Calles of Miami Modern Luxury features ēcolav in the magazine's November issue, and her review really captures the essence of what makes ēcolav so unique.
"Dry cleaning isn't exactly a cutting-edge industry, but the brand new ēcolav in Brickell has figured out a way to get those stains out without coating your clothing in chemicals. The sleekly styled dry cleaners work their magic in a dust-and-particle-free Clean Room, and make use of sustainable bamboo hangers and degradable plastic bags. That dress that cost you more than a monthly mortgage payment? They'll restore it to on-the-rack conditions via a biodegradable Green Earth solvent and a whirl in the Green Jet laundry machine. The best part? They won't charge you any more than their potentially toxic counterparts will, so you'll have some spare cash to spend on the organic beauty products, also sold on premises."

ēcolav announces price reductions
It's no secret we're all feeling the pinch of the softening economy. Between housing prices, 401(k) balances and Wall Street volatility, the only certainty these days seems to be uncertainty. So in an effort to offer some relief to our friends and neighbors here in the Miami business community, ēcolav announces a 25% price reduction on dry cleaning services for men's and women's business garments every Wednesday and Thursday. This discount applies to all men's and women's suits, men's business shirts and women's non-silk blouses.
ēcolav hopes these new prices make life a little easier for all working professionals here in Miami. And don't forget the environmental extras that make the ēcolav experience so unique: environmentally-safe solutions, bamboo hangers, biodegradable bags and the one-of-a-kind ēcolav store filled with organic products to support healthy lifestyles.

ēcolav welcomes "the green home lady"
ēcolav was pleased to recently welcome noted sustainability expert and popular blogger, The Green Home Lady, for a tour of our Miami Flagship Store. "Never before have I entered a dry cleaning shop to be encircled by a blue sky-white cloud horizon curving along ceiling and walls," she writes in today's blog entry, "I've never noticed music playing or an oceanscape at my cleaner's, and I definitely had never watched Planet Earth while I waited to be served. Techno-Eco-mood indeed." The Green Home Lady (TGHL) was so impressed, she's coming back for our Grand Opening on November 12. In the meantime, if you want to learn more about sensible sustainability from a well-respected source, e-mail TGHL at email@example.com.

daily candy sweet on ēcolav
The Daily Candy, "the insider's guide to what's hot, new, and undiscovered," recently discovered ēcolav and the review was pretty sweet. "Recently opened ēcolav makes being green easy by using degradable plastic bags (to cover garments), biodegradable solvent GreenEarth, and sustainable bamboo hangers. Good for the world and good looking, too, ēcolav is more tranquil spa than hectic dry cleaner — the walls are lined with ocean images and TVs play the Planet Earth DVD. All services are done in a dust- and particle-free room, using a state-of-the-art machine (a.k.a. the Green Jet). Plus, prices are the same as you'll pay at the old toxic joints."

"As the divine light grows brighter, it reveals what it contains, that is, divine life; and divine life reveals that the Ultimate Reality is love."
– Thomas Keating, The Mystery of Christ
For many, the return and beginning of a new year marks a time of renewal. This renewal is one of hope. Hope in the future through self-improvement and intentional planning which will unfold during the weeks and months to come.
At the same time, the celebration of Jesus' birth, at the start of Christmas, and culminating with the Feast of Epiphany, reminds us that the hope that has been revealed, renewed and presented in the world – once again – is love.
If we have created resolutions for the new year, how are they informed by love? Or do they still reflect vestiges of last year's self-judgements and recriminations.
I invite all of us to find ways to renew our sense of love. Love of ourselves and especially love of our neighbors. If we are willing to renew our sense of love, then we embrace the Love of the True Self that resides within us all.
May the light that is within you shine brightly this new year! Kathleen

OK, got some more done.
Wiring is done through the wing. The black tape on the servo's is just so they don't fall out. Temporary connections at the motors. I just had to get them all going. Sounds great and they seem to have plenty of thrust.
Has anyone tried the 3030 props yet? Mine came with 3020's.
Here are a couple of pics, and the rubber bands are just temporary.
Had to run up the motors.....
Thanks thermite. The kit comes with black props, I just pressed these ones onto the motor shaft so I sould play. Comes also with little prop adapters to mount the props on and so you can attach the spinners. No idea where to get the little adapters yet, cause I need some more. After this I may have to build another multi. I have 8 of these motors sitting in a box. I was thinking a Spruce Goose out of foam. Or maybe a small pusher B-36.
Well progress has been a little slow. Have been cutting and hinging the control surfaces. I don't know why but that is my least favorite part of a build. Tail surfaces done, still have to do the ailerons. I left the tail feahters stock, but I used a strip of valemat( I think that is how to spell it) on each of the ailerons. I used some WBPU and 2 coats on each of them. Added a bit of strength with little weight gain.
I have seen a couple of posts that guys are adding weight to the noses. Since I hate doing that, I decided to get the battery as far forward as possible to balance. (using lipos) I added a tray to the front of the hollow fuse that follows the line from the servo to the nose wheel. This way, I will also be able to secure the pushrod better. I may cut a hatch to allow better battery access after I mock it up and check where the battery needs to be.
Here is a pic of the batt tray(meat tray foam)....
Just got my fus halves together last night. I'd glued the pushrod guide in for the nose wheel and found that when I had it all assembled with the front gear, there was a lot of binding of the pushrod on the inside of the guide... I decided to pull the guide out and just have a small piece near the servo tray where it enters the front section of the fus. It's perfectly ok without the guide as the pushrods are quite rigid anyway.
I bought my quad model for $85 the friday before Easter. I'm glad I found this thread, there aren't a lot of building threads out there. I have lived next to Pope AFB most all my life. My granddad was stationed here until he retired, and my dad retired here as well, so mine will be painted appropriately. Just before my dad retired, they reformed the Air Force and did away with MAC, getting the 23rd composite wing, adding F-16's, and A-10's to the existing array of C-130's, and C-141's. Some of the 130's, as well as the F-16's and A-10's got Flying Tiger Marks. I'm thinking of doing this. Does anyone know where to find those type of decals, or have plans, pics, scans? Here is a photo. Thanks. Brian
Hi Guys,
I have my C-130 kit and finding this thread has given me thing s to think about before I start building. I wan't to make mine a Spectre Gunship. I have had plenty of the motors burn out rather quickly in my pico moth and pico cub. What about adding feigo brushless to this ship? I don't want or need stupid power but like motors that I won't have to replace often.
Using the sticks for motor mounts is a cool idea would I save any on weight if I use carbon tubes?
"OH Cocky one" that is an awesome fat albert you did! are u going to add led's to simulate the jatos for night take-offs?
Thanks for the help thread!
Flying Camel
here is another thred with herky picts and info:
Hi Flying Camel.
Good luck with your build. I started this thread in the hopes that people would post some of their mods here so we dont have to go searching all over. Hope it will help you.
As far as the carbon rods go, I dont think you will save too much weight, the "mounts" are only 2" long per stick. You never know though....every little bit helps.
I did that cause the cowls are way too flimsy.
The Feigo brushless motors would be a nice way to go but would be rather expensive for 4 motors and 4 controllers. If I could afford it I would do it too.
Post some pics of how you do yours and any conversions you make.
Good luck.
Hi Kevin,
I have 2 motors allready and 2 ESC's also. I have read others running 2 brusshless motors on 1 castle creations ESC so I would only need 2. I think it was KENSP who did it with his PBY catalina. I'm not to worried about the price since I am lazy and don't want to replace the motors.
I'm leaning twards building my first one all stock just to get experiance and then go brushless one a second. I'm having troubles making up my mind and just going for it.
For one thing I suck at doing the hinges so I hate doing that part. I have a light kit too and I think this is my best canidate for putting it in.
I wish they made 4 blade props for this bird.
I will keep in touch on how it goes building it. I also like you battery tray idea I have lots of different sized lipos and wonder which would be best in the Herky bird?

UJ was lucky enough to spend a few days embracing the cold at Laax – a ski resort just outside of Zurich, Switzerland. Having read up a bit before we went, we knew this wasn't going to be your typical chalet and après affair, but we seriously underestimated just how innovative Laax is.
The journey
Laax runs their own shuttle from Zurich airport straight to the resort, which takes around two hours. They have a trailer for all your skiing equipment too, if you're bringing your own stuff. Plus, they have USB phone charging points in the shuttle – ideal if, like us, you NEED to update your Instagram as soon as you land.
The accommodation
There's no quaint chalets with all-wooden-everything here. In their place, an impressive range of hotels, apartments and hostels, each with its own unique qualities. There's rocksresort, a range of upscale design apartments with striking stony exteriors that mirror the mountain landscape, right next to the lively Rider's Palace, a hostel which offers cheaper bunk rooms and a seriously good Saturday night party.
We were staying at Peaks Place, an apartment-hotel near the Laax ski point. The main reception area and bar nod to more traditional ski aesthetics, with sleek light wooden panelling and contemporary fireplaces, but it's just a nod. The apartments – which vary in size – are all brand new and have a living area and kitchen, in case none of Laax's restaurants take your fancy. Which is unlikely, because the choice is pretty much overwhelming. Oh, and they are available on a buy-to-rent scheme if you fancy a Swiss second home and an excuse to ski for three weeks every winter (we do).
The skiing
Skiing in Laax, like everything else there, isn't what you'd expect. You want to do your bog standard, normal skiing? Sure, go ahead. With 224 kilometres of slopes and runs, you won't be disappointed. But Laax has far more to offer. Snowboarders are welcomed here, and there are 4 snowparks housing an Olympic-size kicker pro-line, over 90 obstacles and the longest halfpipe in the world. Unsurprisingly, Laax has earned a reputation as the best freestyle destination in the world.
The après
Coming from London, it's easy to feel skeptical about the choice of restaurants and bars when we go away. What if we suddenly fancy pizza? Or ramen? Or fried chicken? What if we want to drink our favourite cocktail? Well, our fears were abated when we saw the list of restaurants and bars Laax has to offer. Whether you're up on the mountain, in Laax village, or down in the valley, we really mean it when we say there's something for everyone here. Our highlights include the pork fillet, washed with local wine from the Graubünden region at The Peaks restaurant, raclette and New York sours at the enigmatic Travelling Restaurant, and some seriously spicy Korean fillet steak noodles with a yuzu berry margarita at nooba.
The rest
If you're a reluctant skier, there's still plenty to do around Laax. Each day after hitting the slopes, we made sure to get our dose of R&R at the Wellness Centre in Peaks Place, which includes a swimming pool, a (much needed) relaxation pool, and a spa area complete with steam room, sauna and bio sauna, for those who don't like it as hot. If you want to take a day around the slopes, Laax is set in the heart of the Alps and full of insanely beautiful hiking trails. We ventured down from Staderas to Conn, with its amazing views of the Rhine Gorge, stopped off for a quick coffee, and came back up again. So don't forget to pack your boots.
For more information and booking, head to Laax.com.

I started dating someone recently and it's had a big impact on my life. In addition to a new relationship status — and living arrangement — it's also meant educating someone new about my diabetes, and my diet.
Dating with diabetes requires paying extra close attention to blood sugar levels. As wonderful as being taken out for dinner and drinks on the town may be, it's proven to be extra important to monitor blood sugar.
Common food-centric dates like grabbing drinks or meeting for coffee require extra planning, beyond just what to wear.
Alcoholic indulgences are a common hiding place for sugar, and even drinks that aren't mixed with pop or fruit juice can still cause sugar levels to rise and fall quickly, making it imperative to eat when drinking. And as lovely as a sugar-free, non-dairy latte might be, caffeine too can alter typical sugar levels.
Going out for a long walk together? Ice skating? Dancing the night away? All great date ideas that require just a little extra planning when your date's a diabetic. Physical activity is great for everyone, not just those of us living with diabetes.
Being active is so effective when it comes to diabetes management that it can even prevent at-risk individuals from developing type 2 diabetes, and can dramatically reduce the amount of insulin type 1 diabetics require. But don't push it too hard — overdoing physical activity can bring on a low sugar. Listen to your body, and your date.
And dating a diabetic, one that's off cow's milk and red meat at that, has brought my new partner his own set of challenges. He's seen my highs and lows, both emotional and sugar-related, and knows now what to do.
My boyfriend, while not a vegan or vegetarian, has joined me in my quest to eat less animal products and is learning how to live with a girlfriend with a sub-par pancreas.
He's adjusted to a sharps container in the bathroom, developed a fondness for unsweetened vanilla almond milk, let me test his blood sugar (it was 6.2, but he had just finished scarfing down some holiday baking) and even offered to carry glucose tabs, just in case.
While diabetes can bring with it a unique set of challenges, there's no challenge that can't be conquered with the right planning and, maybe, the right partner.

With so many shows and movies dedicated to the walking dead these days, it's hard to weed through the traffic and find the classics. Luckily, I've listed a few of my favorite living dead movies to help aid you in your search.
5. Dead Alive (1992)
Some say this is the goriest movie of all time. I'm not sure if that's true, but it's definitely up there. The movie starts out simple, with a momma's boy named Lionel spending his life waiting on his mother hand and foot. However, there's a serious change of pace once his mommy dearest gets bitten by a cursed monkey at the zoo. Lionel's simple, contained world quickly shatters, and watching him try to pick up the bloody pieces is pretty entertaining. Intrigued? You should be. If the gore doesn't entice you, maybe the fact that Peter Jackson directed it will.
4. Day of the Dead (1985)
This movie is interesting for many reasons. First of all, when the movie starts off, the zombie apocalypse is well under way. Instead of starting with the outbreak and making the movie about the panic, it focuses on how people deal with the virus after an extended period of time. It also illustrates the behavior of the military in catastrophic situations, and shows how their given position of power can become corrupted quite easily. Also, it's one of the first films to demonstrate zombies learning, which has been a strong topic of debate ever since. Smart and innovative, this movie focuses more on the scientists at work, than everyday people trying to adapt to the changes. It's a welcome variation to the stereotypical zombie films. But then again, when has George A. Romero ever disappointed us?
3. Zombie (1979)
I've got three words to say about this movie: zombie versus shark. If that doesn't inspire you to check your Netflix right now, I don't know what will.
2. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
I know I have a lot of Romero zombie movies on this list, but what can I say? The man knows zombies. This movie is not only frightening, thrilling, and even a little funny at times, but it also sends a message. Who are the real zombies? Is it the living dead, roaming the earth and mangling flesh? Or could it be the humans who confine themselves to a routine, boring existence? Watch this awe-inspiring zombie flick and decide for yourself.
1. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Some people like Dawn of the Dead better, but Night of the Living Dead is my favorite zombie movie of all time. Romero layed out the rules for future zombie flicks, such as: zombies eating human flesh, zombies have little brain function other than basic motor skills, zombie bites kill, and zombie brains must be destroyed in order to kill the zombie. Although White Zombie is technically the first zombie movie of all time, Romero really shaped the zombie genre that we all know and love today. Duane Jones gives a memorable performance as Ben, the only stable character in a house full of hysterical strangers. With his help, the group holes up in a farmhouse and tries and make it through the night alive. Will they survive? Watch the epic thriller and find out!

Revealed: CPA Australia's $8m TV ad bill
CPA Australia has spent an estimated $17 million on advertising in the past three years compared with $2.3 million spent by rival body Chartered Accountants.
That spending includes CPA Australia shelling out an estimated $8 million on television advertising alone while Chartered Accountants spent nothing on TV ads between 2014 and 2016.
The revelation comes as CPA Australia, which boasts a 160,000-strong membership, continues to be under fire from a group of members over the outfit's corporate governance, including the level of pay and disclosure about the remuneration of senior executives including CEO Alex Malley and the board, and the way the body's marketing budget is spent.
The advertising spend figures are based on estimates by market research firm Nielsen and cover branded paid for media spots across mediums including television, newspapers, radio, magazines and online. It excludes event and other sponsorships and it is not clear if it covers the television show In Conversation with Alex Malley, a content marketing partnership with Nine Network.
A 16-page document sent to CPA Australia members two weeks ago states that spending on the TV show, Mr Malley's autobiographical book The Naked CEO and related websites accounted for "six per cent of total marketing, promotion and publications expenditure". This would would work out to an estimated $1.8 million based on the body's 2016 total marketing spend.
CPA Australia has also sponsored the National Basketball League (NBL) for $756,000 and the Australian Open tennis for an undisclosed amount.
Accountant and CPA Australia member Neale Wallace thinks the spending on television advertising is wasted money.
"It's disappointing though not overly surprising to hear that the CPA Australia has thrown away [more than] $8 million on TV advertising," Mr Wallace said.
"As a member-based organisation, TV advertising is of no use and does nothing to entrench the 'brand' in the minds of the general public, who quite frankly are not our target audience."
"CPA Australia marketing spend is already excessive – funds saved from ineffectual TV advertising should be channelled back to member based services."
Mr Wallace, a sole practitioner at Wallace BG operating out of Wollongong in NSW, has been a CPA member for 25 years and is also a registered tax agent and a financial planner.
"TV marketing should be stopped, as should sponsorship of such sporting groups as the NBL and Australian Open, which are a blatant misuse of our member funds," he said.
"Marketing should be limited to member based formats such as the In the Black magazine ... member marketing materials and digital activity, and most importantly for reaching out to key stakeholders and other professional sectors with whom members in our profession collaborate with on a day-to-day basis."
Another accountant and CPA Australia member, Will Camphin, said the CPA needed to show how its marketing spend helped ordinary members.
"If the question is how unprecedented 'brand awareness' and 'advocacy access' translates to real value for ordinary voting members, then this is what needs to be clearly communicated now," he said.
Mr Camphin runs a Sydney-based practice, WA Camphin & Co ,which offers accounting and consulting services, and he also leads an online technology discussion group for accountants.
Legal threats from CPA
CPA Australia declined to answer questions about its advertising spending, instead replying with a threat of legal action.
"As legal action is to be taken against the AFR in relation to earlier articles, it is not appropriate that we comment," said Karen Hellwig, the media and communications manager at CPA Australia.
The 16-page document featured a section devoted to justifying the marketing spend of the body, noting "CPA Australia's visibility is undeniable, yet our investment in marketing, promotion and publications as a percentage of turnover remains consistent with more than a decade ago".
In 2016, the body spent $29.4 million on marketing, around 16 per cent of the total revenue of $180.1 million. This is down from 2015 when $31.4 million was spent on marketing, around 18 per cent of total revenue of $174.5 million.
Chartered Accountants, which declined to comment for this piece, does not break out marketing spend as a separate line item in its annual report so there is no way to benchmark its marketing spend against the CPA Australia.
The body lists items, but not spending detail, about what marketing spend covers including the In The Black magazine, the In Conversation with Alex Malley television show and Mr Malley's autobiographical book The Naked CEO.
CPA Australia and Chartered Accountants have both spent money on advertising and sponsorship activity with Fairfax Media, the publisher of The Australian Financial Review.

BBC: River Tyne booze cruise on inflatables criticised by police
Techie1 posted a topic in UK Police/Crime NewsA planned 3,000-person drinking trip on inflatable dinghies on a city centre river has been criticised by police. The River Tyne Booze Cruise is based on the Finnish Kaljakellunta, meaning "beer floating". This is "what England needs", organisers said. They said alcohol quantities would be "regulated". Northumbria Police said they were concerned about people drinking a "significant amount of alcohol" in vessels that were not "appropriate". "The River Tyne is not a countryside stream," a spokesman said. "The current is strong, there is a lot of debris and a number of vessels use the waterway every single day. "A rubber dinghy is not an appropriate vessel to be used on this river and if people were to fall overboard then they could find themselves in real danger." The force said it would speak to the organisers. One, Kieran Chapman, said it was "more of a social drink not a night out in town getting mortal". "People will be searched before they go on to the river to make sure that they're not drinking five litres of vodka," he said. The event's Facebook page recommends participants wear armbands and life jackets and stay on their vessel at all times "to eliminate accidents". The July event, lasting three-and-a-half hours, is due to begin in Newburn and finish on the quayside. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-39418982

Roar will publish a first-person story about abortion, "My Abortion: A Daily Story," every day for at least 365 days.
Today's story comes from Mashable, which polled women on whether they feel shameful for having an abortion. An 80% of responders said NO.
The writer says that stigma is what still affects her from her abortion experience.
I had an abortion when I was 34 years old, three-and-a-half years ago. It was a heartbreaking decision for me to make, because I still have not had children and I would love to be a mother. It was not the right time.
I was marginally employed in the "temp economy" and I was in a physically and emotionally abusive relationship with someone I had met only two months earlier. Still, I felt like because I am a working professional (a lawyer), and I want children, I should have been prepared, so I questioned my decision before I did it and even after. My partner at the time did NOT want a child.
"None of us is a murderer, not a single one of us who had an abortion did what we did with malice in our hearts."
I thank the universe that I live in a state where all that was required was a phone call and one appointment and a very long day at a very crowded clinic. There were protesters at the clinic that day, they were not loud but they did make me feel a bit scared.
I used to sometimes argue with people on Twitter who are against abortion. The worst is when they call women who have abortion "murderers." None of us is a murderer, not a single one of us who had an abortion did what we did with malice in our hearts. I did what I did out of love for myself, my then boyfriend, my family who would have been burdened helping me raise a child I was not financially or emotionally prepared for, and my future children if I am lucky enough to have them.
Stigma still affects me because I feel like I cannot be open at all times about my experience. I tell people sometimes, but I cannot admit it on social media, even though I want to, because I think it's important to tell our stories and not let the other side dominate the discourse.
If they want to call us murderers they can do that to my face. Sometimes I wish I can just say whenever I want: "It happened to me, and it was really hard, and I grieve for the child I could not keep, but I am not sorry."
I am sick of being silenced. My abortion was the hardest thing I ever did, but I know why I did it. Women who go through this deserve compassion, not sadistic laws that make our experience even harder. Stigma affects me to this day because every time I read an article about abortion restrictions, or every time I hear an anti-choice person say that abortion is murder, they are talking about me, and it's not okay.

Common Bond Cafe & Bakery: Serving world-class cuisine with a smile
If you have ears.. then I'm certain you've heard all about Common Bond Cafe & Bakery. If you haven't heard of them then I suggest you at least look them up and possibly stop in. They are known for having amazing pastries, specifically their croissants and cookies, wonderful brunch and delicious lattes that will have you dreaming about them.
For my birthday my boss treated me to breakfast at a place of my choosing. Being a self-proclaimed "Food Evangelist", there was no way I could pass up the opportunity to try one of Houston's most talked about hot spots on the scene today.
Common Bond's breakfast is what I consider to be "lite fare"; your not going to see pancakes, eggs, bacon, waffles, chicken wings, grits or biscuits and gravy any where near the menu let alone on it. This makes the walk-up counter service a breeze due to the limited choices but please believe what you want isn't listed on the menu.
The beautiful array of pastries like croissants, macarons and sticky buns are what you want. The "Pain Au Chocolat" and almond croissants are killer and must be tried.
We decided to try something from the menu and something from the pastries window. She ordered the soft scramble with fresh squeezed orange juice. The scramble came topped with sauerkraut and fresh tomatoes. It's served with a portion of french loaf.
I ordered the almond croissant and the carmel latte. Both were amazing. I recommend you NOT wear black pants when eating the powder sugar dusted croissant or at least remember to bring a black napkin.
The Crossaint was so soft and crispy at the same time. The soft, creamy center deserved an encore.
Though I didn't get to try the scramble my boss said it was "too good for words" and the the consistency of the eggs was "like nothing she had ever tasted. Or possibly would have ever attempted."
The latte was stellar — oh my gosh. It was so pretty I didn't want to drink it but I sooo did. It was the perfect balance of sweetness, caramel and cream. I enjoyed every last sip and was sad when I realized it was all gone. This drink paired with my croissant made for the best birthday breakfast ever. I didn't leave stuffed and uncomfortable like I usually do at breakfast.
In addition to the sweets there are also an assortment of other breads to pair with your morning coffee, lunch soup, salad or sandwich or your evening bite. You can purchase these breads by the slice or loaf for great prices. Definitely a great way to enjoy Common Bond with the whole family.
Common Bond is open Tuesday – Friday 7a – 7p & 9am – 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and the kitchen closes at 3pm daily!

'Molecular key' to successful blood stem cell transplants identifiedApril 23rd, 2009 - 12:08 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, April 23 (ANI): Researchers at University of British Columbia have identified a 'molecular key' that has the potential to increase the success of blood stem cell transplants.
Blood stem cell transplants are currently used to treat diseases such as leukemia, Hodgkin's lymphoma and aplastic anemia.
During the procedure, donor blood stem cells - which can produce red and white blood cells and platelets - are injected into the recipient to produce new blood.
The stem cells then need to travel to the thymus - an organ near the heart - and produce T-cells, a type of white blood cell that orchestrates the body's immune system.
A common problem with blood stem cell transplants is the failure of stem cells to repopulate the thymus and generate T-cells. Without T-cells the patient is unable to fight infection and post-transplant prognosis is poor.
Now, Prof. Hermann Ziltener and his research team at UBC's Biomedical Research Centre have identified a molecule called S1P that can tell the thymus to 'open the gates' and accept more stem cells.
"This discovery gives us a handle on determining whether the thymus will be receptive to migrating stem cells. By treating patients with drugs that control S1P, scientists can now manipulate the thymic gates to either open or close," said Ziltener, a professor in the Dept. of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine.
The new study is published in the April issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine. (ANI)

I Have PCOS
2 comments:
So what are the odds of this? I Google my washer model number, find your post, decide to look at your other posts, and come across this! Wow!ReplyDelete
I was diagnosed with pcos at the tender age of 16. I'm 28 now. I had been having problems for years. My dr was totally unfamiliar with pcos, and sometimes I think she questioned the validity of it. It's been a struggle, because like you said, very little is known about this disease. I've found out more from doing my own research.
Unfortunately I have a severe case of pcos. I have every known symptom. I was initially put on birth control to regulate my periods. I stuck with those until I was married and my husband and I started trying for a baby. We tried unsuccessfully for almost 4 years. I happened to be at my new gyno, and ended up seeing her nurse midwife, who told me I should be on Metformin. I started the Metformin and got pregnant fairly quickly after that. Unfortunately I miscarried at 9 weeks. The Metformin made me extremely sick, but I kept up with it.
We conceived again around two months later. I developed gestational hypertension. It turned into pre-eclampsia which went undiagnosed, and as a result my daughter died shortly after being delivered by emergency c-section.
Thank you so much for your posts. I'm glad the metformin has been easy on you! I really need to get back on it again. I gave up on it after my last pregnancy. I hate the side effects, but it is worth it.
It's a constant struggle dealing with this crazy disease, but you've given me the kick in the butt I needed to get back on track. I have a lot of weight to lose. It was a relief though, to finally understand why I have struggled for so many years, and still am, with my weight.
Thanks again for sharing!
Emily, I am so glad you found me! I too have a lot of weight to lose, but it is finally working. I hope you can continue the treatment. I have found that eating less sugar and carbs helps tremendously with the stomach upset. I am so sorry to hear about your problems having children. We have been trying for three months now with no luck. I am afraid I may be in the same boat. I'm sorry your symptoms of PCOS are so uncomfortable! I know I am lucky to not have a few of them. But, I hope with more awareness comes more effort, so maybe we will see advances with treatment in the near future. Good luck to you in everything, and I sincerely appreciate you stopping by!ReplyDelete
Please keep in mind that I DO moderate my comments. You will NOT be posted if you do not have the balls to leave your name or contact info. Do us all a favor, and don't be a jackass because, really, I deal with enough jackasses everyday.

Going to the doctor is part of most peoples' daily lives. We get a cold or break a bone, and we visit the doctor to get cured. Elon Kierre, a senior print journalism student from Dardanelle, did just this just a few weeks ago, but her regular checkup was anything but regular. Her doctor told her she had a heart murmur.
"Are you sure?" Kierre asked, not believing the situation could be that serious.
Most college students believe they can't have serious heart conditions, especially a student as active and healthy as Kierre. When Kierre's doctor referred her to a cardiologist in Russellville, she thought it wasn't a big deal because her dad had a similar situation, and his got better without surgery.
She then had to wait a week for the results only to find out they needed to run more tests, so they sent her to the heart hospital in Little Rock.
There, the doctors performed a TEE test, or a trans-esophageal echo, in which they ran a food tube with an ultrasound transducer inside it down her throat to get a closer look at the heart's valves and chambers.
"It was the worst experience of my life," Kierre said.
The results confirmed she did have a hole in her heart, known as atrial septal defect (ASD). According to the Adult Congenital Heart Association, about 1 in 500 babies are born with ASD, but by age five the hole usually closes on its own.
Kierre's ASD, however, did not close on its own. The condition left a one-inch hole between the left and right chambers of her heart.
After consulting with her doctors, they informed her surgery was necessary. She was also informed if the hole got any larger, they would have to do open-heart surgery.
Kierre would not have to go through this, though, and they were able to perform a less invasive surgery through her leg.
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, "The doctor inserts a catheter (a thin, flexible tube) into a vein in the groin. He or she threads the tube to the heart's septum. A device made up of two small disks or an umbrella-like device is attached to the catheter. When the catheter reaches the septum, the device is pushed out of the catheter. The device is placed so that it plugs the hole between the atria. It's secured in place and the catheter is withdrawn from the body. Within 6 months, normal tissue grows in and over the device."
"I woke up in the middle of [the surgery] and looked around, and I was like, 'What's going on?'," Kierre said.
Kierre spent the night in the hospital but was released the next day. The whole process wasn't too stressful for her because she had the support of her family, friends and co-workers. Kierre even showed up for the first day of classes—just two days after her surgery.
She said the process did make her tired, but "everyone was really understanding."
She's now being monitored by her doctors and is taking prescribed medication. After the six month waiting period, her doctor notes she should notice a difference, especially in her breathing.
"If your doctor says you have a murmur, don't disregard it; I almost did," Kierre said.

Crowd of One is an interesting book by John Henry Clippinger, a senior fellow at the Beckman Centre for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School. One of the central thoughts of the book is that people only become themselves through their relationship with others. If we become isolated our growth becomes stunted. Critical to this thought is another, namely that technology is changing our territorial and psychological boundaries.
This point is picked up by Sherry Turkle at MIT who argues that: "what people mostly want from public spaces these days is to be left alone with their personal networks" and that a new "state of self" is now developing whereby people can transport themselves somewhere else at the touch off a button.
I think I've witnessed this first hand. First on holiday where numerous couples were sunbathing next to a swimming pool, each of them on some kind of portable electronic device. What were they doing? I have no idea but they certainly weren't talking to each other. They were undoubtedly connected to something but I couldn't tell you whether their 'self' was developing or not.
The second instance was when I took my brother's kids to an indoor playground. Soon after I sat down a couple in their late twenties sat down next to me with a girl aged perhaps six years of age. The girl was dispatched into the safe play area and both parents took out Blackberries and proceeded to check email. They did this for over sixty minutes without once speaking to each other or acknowledging the presence of their small daughter. Again, they were certainly connected but to what and for what reason I'm not sure.
It's the same at work. Ten or fifteen years ago people didn't take calls in the middle of meetings. Today it's commonplace. I was in a meeting with News Corp not so long ago when someone from their ad agency took a call and the rest of the room was put on hold for almost ten minutes until the call had ended. You can see this teleportation process in operation in countless restaurants too where couples are talking to each one minute and then divert to receiving phone calls or checking emails the next.
Back in the day this would have been considered rather rude and people would have switched these devices off or hidden them under the table. These days it's just considered normal and these devices are proudly and openly on public display.
In short, we are becoming so tethered to our electronic devices that we never entirely switch off and escape from the presence of others. Now this may be a very good thing in terms of the development of individual identity, because we are constantly connected to other people, but I wonder what it's doing to the quality of our thinking.
Firstly, our connectedness to others through digital networks means that a culture of rapid response has developed in which the speed of our response is sometimes considered more important than its substance. We shoot off email mails that are half thought out and long-term strategic thinking is constrained by a lack of proper thinking time. We are always responding to what's urgent rather than what's important. I could have probably put all that together a lot better but I'm pushed for time and really can't be bothered.
This connectedness is constant but our full attention is only partial as a result. Linda Stone, an ex Microsoft researcher, coined the term Constant Partial Attention to describe the fact that we feel some kind of need to scan electronic and digital environments to ensure that we are not missing out on something more important. We don't want to be left out of the loop. As a result, nobody feels secure enough to leave these electronic devices off for an hour during a meeting, let alone for a week when they are sitting next to a pool on holiday.
But it's not necessarily speed that worries me. There is evidence from Malcolm Gladwell and others that many of our best decisions are made when we have little or no time to think. We can probably get away with this for a while, especially when the decisions that need to be made are fairly unimportant, but sooner or later I suspect our lack of aloneness and reflection will catch up with us.
We just don't switch off, ever, which means we never truly create the time to properly reflect. We scroll through our days without thinking about what we are really doing or where we are ultimately going.

Some ideas on music & musical program – May 2017 – Tokyo, Japan By Violinist Laurence Kayaleh
Dear Friends of Music,
Since the early stages of my artistic life, I was eager to learn new repertoire. Of course, there is always endless beauty to discover in music, even in the regularly performed repertoire. The musical literature is incredibly rich, inspired, and inspiring. Every time I work on a Brahms or Beethoven sonata, or any work of the standard repertoire, I approach it as if it were the first time I read it, even if I have already performed it many times in concert. Music grows, as we grow as human beings. The general conception of interpretation, and the understanding of composers' indications become much deeper with time and experience. A genuine artist never knows a work completely, even after years of dedication. The artistic evolution is constant; it never ends. This is also the beauty of the Arts.
The repertoire written for the violin is vast (although not as vast as the piano's!).
Even though I regularly perform and cover well-known repertoire ranging from the Baroque through the contemporary eras, I believe it is also my role, as a performer, to present lesser-known works but very inspired to a larger audience. There are some remarkable jewels out there yet to be explored—a real gold mine.
Karol Szymanowski's Sonata for Violin & Piano in D minor Op. 9 was composed in 1904, in Warsaw. It was created in April 1909 by violinist Paul Kochanski and pianist Arthur Rubinstein. The work was composed in the style of late Romanticism which he highly appreciated and respected at that time. The work is dedicated to Bronisław Gromadzki, an amateur violinist and good friend of Szymanowski. The young Szymanowski, a pupil of Zygmunt Noskowski, was then 21 years old. He demonstrates in this work a very fine mastery of the classical form.
Gabriel Fauré's Sonata for Violin & Piano No. 2 in E minor, Op. 108 is a masterpiece of artistic depth. It was written in 1916, five years before his sublime Piano Quintet in C minor Op. 115 (1921), and only eight years before his death. The human and musical evolution in the 40 years between his first and second violin sonatas is quite striking. The work certainly reflects and expresses World War I torment and human suffering… The musical writing demonstrates great inspiration and maturity.
Sonata Op. 108 was written during the third period of his life throughout which Fauré was suffering from hearing loss problems.
The gorgeous theme in the Andante from the discarded Symphony in D minor of 1884 is full of beauty and expression.
The work was premiered by Lucien Capet and Alfred Cortot on November the 10th, 1917 at the Société Nationale de Musique. The sonata is dedicated to the Queen of Belgium, Her Majesty Elisabeth.
After Szymanowski's and Fauré's lesser-known sonatas, the program will conclude with the superb and one of César Franck's best-known works, his Sonata for Violin & Piano in A major. The sonata was written in 1886. It was Franck's wedding present to the young violinist and composer, Eugène Ysaÿe. Ysaÿe performed the work for the wedding guests with pianist Léontine Bordes-Pène. Both Ysaÿe and Bordes-Pène gave the first official public performance of the sonata on December 16th, 1886 at the Museum of Modern Painting in Brussels.
The role of a performer is quite subtle. One must follow and respect the musical text and the composer's indications, while in a way "reimagining" the piece using the eloquent and precise indications given by the composer. There is a distinct but fragile line between what the performer can do or not to serve the composer's intentions without it being detrimental to the personal interpretation.
The artists need to emphasize the coherence in the sound colors to create a total "communion" between the instruments, thus favoring the general atmosphere and respecting the color of the harmonic architecture. This is always a very critical step in chamber music, made even more complex by the uniqueness of every musician.

Industry: Advertising
For those who understand that while a picture is worth a 1,000 words, that right word is worth 1,000 pictures…
As one of
the most indispensible parts of any creative team, or department, they are
tasked with creating the written (or spoken) content for advertisements
alongside teams of Designers, Art Directors and Creative Directors.
From the client, they take the information (or "copy") about the desired product, service, or person about to be campaigned, and turn it into exciting and persuasive writing. But the title of Copywriter is a misnomer in that while words establish the emotional tone and reinforce a brand's strategic positioning, Copywriters must have a visual sense in order to better conceive and communicate, "how an idea should look and feel visually."
While no college education is necessary, a degree (in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, Creative Writing etc) can help an aspiring Copywriter gain a firm foundation in persuasive writing and help them land their first job. An exciting career with plenty of room for growth and advancement, Copywriting often leads to bigger jobs in the industry.

STAMFORD, Conn. — A Stamford couple has been indicted on 39 federal charges in a scheme that defrauded its victim-investors in a surgical glove innovation of more than $2 million, prosecutors said Friday.
Thomas J. Connerton, 64, and Jean S. Erickson, 62, were arrested Thursday and appeared in federal court, said Deirdre M. Daly, U.S. attorney for Connecticut.
The indictment alleges that Connerton was the founder, president, and CEO of Safety Technologies, which had its principal place of business at various times in Simsbury, Madison, Westport and Stamford.
Safety Tech was founded in 2006, purportedly to develop and commercialize a highly durable puncture and cut resistant material to be used in the surgical glove market and other related markets.
It has not obtained any patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and Connerton did not register Safety Tech's securities with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Beginning in June 2009, Connerton induced victim-investors to provide funds and purchase Safety Tech securities by falsely representing that the valuation of Safety Tech was in the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, that a lucrative deal to sell or license his glove technology was imminent, and that he would use their funds for research and development, product testing, and to bring the product to market.
He offered his investors small amounts of equity in Safety Tech through "Subscription Agreements" or investments contracts through which he sold what he described as "Units."
It is alleged that Connerton made numerous other false representations to victim-investors, including stating in September 2015, "I will go on the record to state that there is not a single investor that will lose one dollar invested in Safety Technologies."
The indictment alleges that he used invested funds to pay personal expenses, including, on two separate occasions, to purchase diamond engagement rings from Tiffany & Co. He also used funds to repay loans to an earlier investor.
Through this scheme, it is alleged that Connerton defrauded more than 50 victim-investors of more than $2 million.
The indictment further alleges that he, with Erickson's help, engaged in monetary transactions to conceal from the FBI and the SEC the source of funds received by Safety Tech from the sale of securities. They negotiated checks and purchased bank checks in order to move the fraudulent proceeds from one account to another.
The indictment also alleges that, in April 2016, Erickson contacted the FBI and falsely stated that she was just an investor when she was engaged to Connerton and sharing a home with him at the time. During the call, she provided a false address to an FBI special agent.
Connerton was charged with 12 counts of wire fraud, one count of mail fraud and 18 counts of securities fraud, offenses that carry a maximum of 20 years in prison on each count.
He was also charged with six counts of money laundering, which carries a maximum of 10 years in prison on each count, and one count of money laundering conspiracy, with a maximum prison term of 20 years.
Erickson was charged with money laundering, money laundering conspiracy, and making a false statement to a federal agent, with a maximum of five years in prison.
Connerton was detained pending a Monday detention hearing. Erickson was released on $250,000 bond.
A federal grand jury in New Haven returned the indictment on March 7.
This case is being investigated by the FBI and the IRS Criminal Investigation Division.
Anyone with information that may be helpful to this ongoing investigation, or who believe they have been victimized by this scheme, are encouraged to contact the FBI at 203-777-6311.
