Despite finishing last in the NHL last season, the Panthers stooped for the lower shelf in the start of free agency on Friday, rather than paying for top-shelf talent.
The Panthers first order of business was to re-sign their own restricted free agent center Shawn Matthias to a two-year deal worth a reported $3 million, up from his $900,000 last season.
A few hours later they bid farewell to co-captain center Stephen Weiss, the franchise's all-time leader in games played and assists, who signed with the Detroit Red Wings for a reported $4.9 million a year in a five-year deal. Weiss earned $3.1 million in his final season of a six-year deal worth $18.6 million.
Weiss, 30, the Panthers fourth overall pick of the 2003 draft , had four seasons of 20 or more goals and has 145 goals with a franchise-high 249 assists in 654 games, also a franchise record, over 10 seasons.
After scoring just one goal with three assists in 17 games last season before opting for season-ending wrist surgery, Weiss' goal total is fourth in team history, 43 behind leader Olli Jokinen. His 394 points are second to Jokinen's 419.
The Panthers also signed free-agent right wing Joey Crabb to a two-year, one-way deal and veteran defenseman Mike Mottau to a one-year, two-way deal.
Crabb, 30, has 20 goals and 32 assists in 170 NHL games, including a career-high 11 goals and 15 assists with Toronto in 2011-12. He played 26 games for the Capitals last season and had two assists, before spending most of the season in the AHL with Hershey.
Mottau, 35, has 58 points in 335 NHL games, but didn't play in the league last year. He most likely will play for the Rampage this season.

Soft tissue grafting is often necessary to combat gum recession. Periodontal disease, trauma, aging, over brushing, and poor tooth positioning are the leading causes of gum recession which can lead to tooth-root exposure in severe cases.
When the roots of the teeth become exposed, eating hot and cold foods can be uncomfortable, decay is more prevalent and the aesthetic appearance of the smile is altered. The main goal of soft tissue grafting is to either cover the exposed root or to thicken the existing gum tissue in order to halt further tissue loss.
The three different types of common soft tissue grafts include:
Reasons for soft tissue grafting
Soft tissue grafting is an extremely versatile procedure that has many uses. Recent developments in dental technology have made soft tissue grafting more predictable and less intrusive. Here are some of the main benefits associated with soft tissue grafting treatment:
What does soft tissue grafting treatment involve?
Initially, deep cleaning will be performed both above and below the gum line to clear the teeth and roots of calculus (tartar). The grafting procedure itself will generally be performed under local anesthetic, but this will depend on the size of the areas receiving grafts. A small incision will be made at the recipient site in order to create a small pocket. A split thickness incision is made in this pocket and the donor tissue is placed between the two sections of this area. The donor tissue strip is generally larger than the incision, so some excess will be apparent.
Platelet rich growth factors which stimulate natural tissue growth and promote good healing may be applied to the site before suturing. In addition, tissue-stimulating proteins may be added to encourage quicker tissue growth. Finally, the wound site will be sutured to prevent shifting, and surgical material will be placed to protect the sensitive area. Gum uniformity and substantial healing will take place in the first six weeks after the procedure.
If you have any questions about soft tissue grafting, please ask your dentist.
Friendly, professional, quality work, great communication with the patient for the entire process. Careful discussion of the options and financial structures. No Surprises. Highly Recommend.
Greg T.
I've been going here for years and the staff have always been friendly and remember who you are. Dr. Mack also goes so far as to personally call the evening after major procedures to ensure that you are doing well. The office has great options for keeping you entertained during long procedures, such as listening to music or watching movies. They also stay up to date with the newest dental procedures. I got to enjoy this as I just recently watched a movie while they scanned my mouth, designed and milled my crown and then had it put in place all in one visit. I can't recommend them enough.

I have been very busy as of late with some computer games I have been working on. plus, I have been playing 40k much more often recently in about a year of hiatus from gaming.
Been kicking ass with my Dark Eldar, which isn't anything new since I am the self titled 'best Dark Eldar' player on the face of this mud ball. I can't lose a game if I tried.
The game I am currently working on as both artist and co-designer is Leaiva Online. This is a 2D mmorpg which will have over 40 different 'classes' a player can choose from.
Come join up!
On a side note, I have been banned from another xenophobic 40k site, yet again. What else is new. Shame too because the knowledge of Dark Eldar on that site from the posters was piss poor at best.
Any-who, I am also still doing art for some magazines, and other various online things.

Lissa Reed is a novelist in the contemporary LGBTQ+ romance genre. She was born in Lake Charles, LA and during a childhood spent moving around as part of a U.S. Navy family, picked up writing as a hobby and hasn't much put the pen down since. She blogs frankly about life with depression and anxiety, the writing process, cooking, and her cats. Her most recent book, Absolutely, Almost, Perfect was published by Interlude Press in August of 2017.
She lives in the DFW area of Texas with her two cats, an unkempt balcony garden, and an alarming collection of nail polish. Her blog name comes from the fact that she is from Louisiana (and its many, many swamps and bayous) and she really does have a secret past as a sort-of debutante.

Total Bed-Material Transportby Avery A. Bishop,
Daryl B. Simons,
Everett V. Richardson,
Serial Information: Journal of the Hydraulics Division, 1965, Vol. 91, Issue 2, Pg. 175-191
Document Type: Journal Paper
A method of estimating the bed-material discharge of sand-bed flumes, canals, and rivers is presented. The method uses a group of curves developed from flume data that relate intensity of transport, intensity of shear, and the median fall diameter of the bed material. Also, these curves illustrate that the intensity of transport varies with regime of flow and form of bed roughness. Application of the method yields good results for sand-bed channels when the depth of flow is less than 4 ft.

Tata Motors has raised concerns over policy changes in automobile sector, saying these cannot only be driven by a group of NGOs and activists.
The auto major said the industry should be made a stakeholder while dealing with the policies as it has the right expertise and technical knowledge about the industry.
"There is nothing wrong in change of policies and even nothing wrong if the policies are changed in the very challenging period of times.
But I think we need to be a part of the policy making process because the policies cannot only be driven by a group of NGOs and activists," said Tata Motors CEO and MD Guenter Butschek today.
He further added: "The policies are needed to be based on the knowledge and on the expertise."
According to him, the automakers are trapped in this and might loose their competitiveness in the global market.
"We get trapped somewhere in the middle and we might loose the ability to take the next level of the competitiveness as far as the global map is concerned," he said while addressing SIAM annual convention here.
Butschek's remarks has come in the ongoing debate in the backdrop of the diesel fuel policy.
In August, the Supreme Court has lifted the over six months ban on sale of diesel cars above engine capacity of 2000 cc in Delhi region after levying 1 per cent 'green cess' from carmakers.
It had also ruled that Central Pollution Control Board will set up a separate account in a public sector bank to collect this green cess.
Butschek said auto industry would remain one of the major drivers of the GDP, however, he also added there are plenty of challenges in future.
"These challenges would give us positive aspirations and open new horizons. We have to identify the opportunities for the industries to grow," he said, adding that we have to do it with positive mindsets.
According to him, some polices as vehicle scarping would have huge contribution to the environment and safety.
"Let the government finally decide how it work as whether it is voluntarily or its going to forced or subsidised. At the end of day we just need the clarity, then we would trust accordingly and the contribution is going to be huge in the industry and finally to the economy," he said.
Butschek further added that GST, which is expected to be implemented soon, would help the auto industry.
"This is something which is going to help us as industry, which is in particular help our customers also… This is a welcome move," he added.

I am in the middle of quite a busy season and with so much to get done, I don't always take the time to sit down and eat. But, I can't afford to fill up on junk and crash a few hours later, so I have been making smoothies to keep me going.
If you'd like to make one, here is the recipe that I've been using:
4 Strawberries
1 Container Yoplait Original Peach Yogurt
3/4 Cup Crushed Ice
1 Banana
1/2 Cup Orange Juice
Combine contents in blender and blend until smooth. Prepare to become addicted.

Youth Suicide in India
To those who have lost their lives by suicide,
To those who struggle with thoughts of suicide,
To those who have made an attempt on their lives,
To those caring for someone who struggles,
To those left behind after a death by suicide,
To those in recovery, and
To all those who work tirelessly to prevent suicide and suicide attempts in our nation.
We believe that we can and we will make a difference.
1. Introduction
2.1 Understanding suicide
2.2 Overall statistics
2. Facts about youth suicide
3. Risk indicators of youth suicides
4. Reasons for youth suicide
5.3 stress
5.4 Failure in relationships
5.5 Lack of empathy by parents
5. Prevention of suicide
6. Conclusion
Suicide is the act of taking one's own life. Suicide may result from despair, as the result of a mental disorder, or other challenges. In some cases, financial difficulties and interpersonal relationships may lead to suicide. The World Health Organization estimates that suicide is the thirteenth leading cause of death worldwide and is a leading cause of death among teenagers and adults under 35. Throughout the world, there are anywhere from 10 to 20 million suicide deaths per year. Suicide is a serious public health problem that causes immeasurable pain, suffering, and loss to individuals, families, and communities nationwide. Every suicide attempt and death affects countless other individuals. Family members, friends, coworkers, and others in the community all suffer the long-lasting consequences of suicidal behaviors. Suicide places a heavy burden on the nation in terms of the emotional suffering that families and communities experience as well as the economic costs associated with medical care and lost productivity. And yet suicidal behaviors often continue to be met with silence and shame. These attitudes can be formidable barriers to providing care and support to individuals in crisis and to those who have lost a loved one to suicide.
"Life has no smooth road for any of us and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfils itself." – W.C.Doane
1.1 Understanding suicide
Although some people may perceive suicide as the act of a troubled person, it is a complex outcome that is influenced by many factors. Individual characteristics may be important, but so are relationships with family, peers, and others, and influences from the broader social, cultural, economic, and physical environments.
There is no single path that will lead to suicide. Rather, throughout life, a combination of factors, such as a serious mental illness, alcohol abuse, a painful loss, exposure to violence, or social isolation may increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. 1.2 Overall statistics
Every 40 seconds a life is lost through suicide(Worldwide as per WHO data). Suicide Rate (India 2006-07): General Population-11.5 % per lakh. Army-7.5 % per lakh. Mumbai: (As per Police stats) 3 lives lost per day due to suicide. Navi MumbaiL As per Police stats) 2 lives lost per week due to suicide
In India according to National Crime Records Bureau 110,417 people committed suicide in the year 2002, which is 1.8% more than compared to 2001., i.e; a suicide is committed every five minutes. Seven times that number attempt to take their lives and as for those who feel desperate and unable to cope, the number is mind boggling. More suicides occur between 18 and 45 - in other words in the most productive age group of our society. - Every 3 seconds a person attempts to die.
- Suicide is one of the top three causes of death among the young in the age group of 15-35 years - The psychological, social and financial impact of suicide on the family and the society is immeasurable. - About 1 lakh people...

My name is Justin Adkins. This is a picture of me holding my son at the zoo; something that would have been very painful to do during the height of my spondy pain. Read more about me.
Through my own journey of getting help for my condition, I found that there was simply nowhere for people to go for answers and quality information. And even worse, people had no clue how to move and feel better. They only knew what little information they had heard from their doctor or what they happened to come across on the web.
The one thing that will help you the most in your recovery is improving your knowledge of YOUR body and YOUR specific spondy situation. I have assembled many resources that will help you do that. I encourage you to change your thought process away from looking for that one exercise or stretch that might help you, and instead focus on the big picture. Every spondy situation is different and you need to improve your overall knowledge and movement to provide yourself with the best chances of moving and feeling better.
I welcome you to look around this site and learn about your condition and ways you can go about improving how you move and feel.
I hope I can be of help during your spondy journey, and I'm always here to answer your questions.

Today I have the honor of hosting E.J. Bancesco! He's an architect from Chicago that has a love for writing. Both his novels are set from his place of birth, Romania. His latest novel, The Scarf, is about a teenager that finds himself entangled in the Romanian Underworld of 1967 where he begins to discover there's more to his great nation and unravels truths about himself. E.J. is now working on a new title, which you can read the first chapter at the end of the interview.
Tell us a little about yourself:
I was born in Bucharest, and have been in the US for 34 years. As an architect travel worldwide for work. Once a year I spend a month with my mother and by brother's family in Romania. These return-visits are the both the groundwork and the reason for my two published novels. In the US I studied advance painting at SMFA in Boston from 1998 to 2003.
I cook.
What inspired you to start writing?
Reading, without a doubt. Each amazing work of fiction I read stirred my imagination but awakened my critical thinking, as well.
Reading and the incredible strangeness of a certain place in the world. I will mention that in the answer to your next question.
How do you write? Do you plot? Or do you just go for it?
There is a point of departure for all my stories and it exists on the map of the world, in my memory, and of course, in my imagination. In its physical being it's a riverside village in northeastern Romania; in memory is the cradle of my first life-lessons (triumphs, tragedies, etc.)
In my imagination it is the stage where everything my mind can fathom becomes a story.
And to finally answer your question: that point in the universe offers the plot—the layout of the story. Then comes the writing. So writing follows the plot until—we all hit that weird point—the writing takes off from the plot, and the poor plot must follow.
What are the first 5 things you do to prepare yourself for a day of writing?
First, I read a few paragraphs from the novel currently on my night table; then skim over old photos (related to the story); re-read what I wrote on the previous session; inevitably get caught in correcting some of that. And then of course, research as needed.
How long have you been writing for?
Since the high school years.
What was the first story you've ever written about?
The village I mentioned before, was unique in that several prominent aristocratic families had their estates there before the last king of Romania abdicated in 1948. I cannot imagine anything more fascinating for a teenager than manor halls haunted by the ghosts of the past. That's what I wrote about when I started to fancy myself as a storyteller.
What do you find most challenging about writing?
Keeping a handle of the story structure.
What is something you wish you could tell your younger writer self?
Write and read everyday and do not dare call yourself a writer. Learn the craft!
This is something it took decades for me to absorb. I could have written many novels if I knew that knowing how to write is a craft and not a pastime.
How many stories have you written?
Before all that, I wrote several stories that are now lost.
Do you have any tips you can give other aspiring authors out there?
Read. Not what appeals to you as a person, for the person you are is not a writer yet. You must enter the high sphere of thinkers and creative artists and while that is never guaranteed, it maybe attainable via extensive reading—and understanding—of the most important writers in history.
Which authors inspire you most?
Tolstoy, Chekov, Emily Bronte, John Fowles, Anita Bruckner, Jules Verne, Scott Fitzgerald, Proust … too many to mention.
Tell us about your most recent work? Can you share an excerpt with us?
It's a novel. Working title is Moon bites
Here is a chapter:
Cecilia had everything in that envelope: cash, train tickets, a pair of house keys, written instructions, advice, rules and warnings.
There was no point in protesting, for she was here handing me my walking papers, which meant, Vadim had given his blessing.
She must have told him that I couldn't be trusted to live in Bucharest without supervision for three months, not after what I'd done last November. He may have suggested a summer camp, to which she replied maybe, maybe not, and perhaps reminded him that I would never thrive in a structured situation like that. Doubtless, Vadim recognized the truth in that, because he knew that disobedient wouldn't begin to describe me. He may have demanded to hear more options, for although he had always shirked from knowing too much detail about my life, he had to have assurance of my general safety and wellbeing when decisions were made on my behalf. The distance he kept from me, as I later understood, was the life vest he had to wear while riding the wave of political favor.
So she promised him she will handle this. And as such she obtained his leave to do what she thought was best. Still, I am almost certain that he held her responsible for any undesired consequences. She—and this I know for certain—smiled right through his cautioning, hardly able to dull the sparkles of triumph in her eyes.
And so, here I was on that Friday in mid-June, glancing in the vestibule mirror once more, seconds before Cecilia Milescu would come to dispatch me to a realm I wouldn't have—in a million years—imagined so complicated and scary, so marred with baleful history.
When the doorbell rang, I smiled at my reflection in the vestibule mirror and ruffled my hair before opening the door.
"Madame Milescu. Please, come in."
"Good morning, Andrei!"
I let the imposing woman by, and gulped the perfumed air she brought in.
"You were talking to yourself, weren't you?" She said. "Just now?"
"I don't know what you mean," I mumbled, watching her calves as she strode into the dayroom.
She looked around as if she hadn't been there only a week before. "There's dust, everywhere. Again. And you haven't changed the water." She pointed to the flowers on the dining table. Then she pulled a chair, sat down and placed her white, lacquered purse on the table before her. Her light wool ivory deux-piece with pale ochre trim and buttons conveyed her the deceptive air of a well-off housewife with modest imagination and a dull outlook on life. "They've wilted," she added eyeing the flowers again, reproachfully.
I remained standing in the doorway. "Sorry," I said. "I'll remember next time."
"Next time, next time…"
"Madame Milescu—"
"I…" I faltered.
"What is it, Andrei?"
"I—I am in love with you."
Her expression hardened. Moron, I castigated myself as blood rushed up to my cheeks. Fuckup. Stutterer.
"Your enthusiasm is seriously misplaced," she said. "Each time I correct one of your slip-ups you invent a new one. When am I going to—"
"Madame Milescu—"
"Sit down in front of me, Andrei."
I complied, keeping my eyes down.
"I'm going out of town," she said.
"For how long?" The blood ebbed from my cheeks.
"Until school starts in September."
"The whole summer?"
"Yes. But we won't leave you here all by yourself."
"Are you taking me with you?"
"No. You're going to Hatmani."
"Hatmani? What the fuck's that?"
"Language, Andrei," her warning came sharp, and yet, a hint of amusement flew across her face. "Hatmani is a village."
"Does he know this?"
"Victor? He demanded you leave Bucharest, yes, but—"
"But he can't know where you're sending me."
"You know it. See?"
"But I've never been to a village," I protested. "What am I going to do there for three months? Are you putting me to work on a cooperative? Is this punishment for what I just said?"
My chest tightened with suspicion. "Are you sending me again to some home for boys in the deep country?"
"Stop it." She massaged her forehead with her perfectly manicured fingers; the flash of her cherry-bright nails sent a hum of desire through my veins.
When she spoke again her tone was softer. "You'll stay with a very nice and caring elderly lady. Her name is Maria Asavetei."
"But why are you sending me there?"
"You need new experiences."
"What experiences? Cleaning stables and learning all about dung?"
"Spending the summer in nature instead of staying here alone in this swelter." That's what. I promise you, once you've seen Moldava you'll always want to go back to—"
"Who is Moldava?"
"Don't cut me off. Moldava is the most beautiful river in the country. With the whitest, finest sand beaches north of the seashore."
"So where is he taking you this time?" I said, unable to keep the reproof from my voice.
She blinked. "I don't like your tone, but since we're in agreement with the Hatmani proposition…"
Agreement? You hypocrite, I revolted inwardly. You're both a couple of fucking dictators.
"…with the Hatmani proposition," she repeated, "I will tell you." A rare sparkle of girlish glee lit up her hazel eyes. "Victor and I are going to America with the Prime Minister," she announced triumphantly. (On June 26th in 1967, President Johnson met with Prime Minister Ion Gheorghe Maurer of Romania.) "For two weeks. We will spend two weeks in America."
"Two weeks?" I exclaimed. "And you're sending me to the Middle Ages for an entire three months?"
"Two weeks there," she said faking a rueful smile, "and then to West-Germany. Also work delegation, too. After that Victor's taking me to Sochi until September—for vacation." She shrugged her shoulders. "Will be a busy summer, Andrei. It can't be helped."
I was speechless. She unclasped her purse and drew out a bulging letter-size envelope.
"Don't trash the money," she said brightly. "Make it last, for you'll have no more until you're back in Bucharest, in autumn. Here." She pushed the envelope toward me. "There's a round trip train ticket inside, keys, and your instructions. You leave Saturday night. And make sure you purchase and pack everything on the list."
"What list?"
"Read the letter, Andrei. I must leave, now."
Headed for the door, she turned and gave me a surreptitious smile: "You'll find this summer most educational. Be obliging with your host and polite with everyone. And I'm warning you—don't fight."
She smiled, or thought she'd try, but instead she barred her teeth, looking less friendly than a menacing wolf.
"Don't worry," I hurried to reassure her.
Her grin softened. "Watch yourself with those village girls," she added, "or any others you might encounter, will you? Precaution, yes? For if you do something that leaves a mark you know where you're going in September."
After she'd left, I pondered the meaning of her last sentence until my mind numbed.

Good evening...
I was sent these products to use and review a few weeks ago, but i had to use them for a while in order to give a honest review, so that you would know exactly what to expect if you buy them.
All three products are by L.A Girl, and they are the Makeup setting spray, the gel liner in 'Mermaid Blue' & the Blush collection in 'Pinky'.
It comes in a flat and long case which has a magnetic flap. It looks like the 'Naked' palette. I like it.
|A close look at the contents
The 'Pinky' collection contains 2 blushes, 1 bronzer, and one highlighter. The blushes are a light pink and a slightly darker pink, and they are buth pigmented, but not overly so.....however, they are quite buildable as in you can apply layer upon layer to increase the color pay-off/intensity.
These are the swatches of the products. The highlighter is also very shiny and pigmented as a good highlighter should be, however, i have a problem with the bronzer.....correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't bronzers supposed to have a glow? As in a shimmery glow? This bronzer here is just matte, and i don't know why.
In conclusion, the L.A Girl blush collection in 'Pinky' is a good buy *that is if you don't mind the matte bronzer*.
Next, we have the L.A Girl makeup setting spray. Prior to this bottle that was sent to me, i've never owned a makeup setting spray because i felt that there was no need for me to buy one. I always manage to pull off a matte look by myself *without a setting spray*, and my makeup always lasts on my face. Infact, after long hours, my makeup has this tendency to look just the way it did after i just applied everything......so i was like "No need to get one".
So, seeing that i've never owned or used one, i have nothing to compare this one to.... i have no idea if it's perfect or not, however, i know that i loved the way it felt against my skin when i sprayed it on my face after applying my makeup, and i like the fact that it evaporates quickly, leaving you with a nice matte face. It smells like rose-water, and the nozzle sprays well. You have to close your eyes *of course* , hold the bottle about 12" away from your face and spray. It sets your makeup and holds everything in place, giving you a matte finish.

Have a good night...

Be aware of her body language. Pay keen attention to her expressions and take cognisance of every detail her body language might be expressing. Women always have a way of revealing their mood, mind, and desires more through expressions than by uttering words.
Be unpredictable. No one likes someone that is transparent. Being capricious brings about an aura of endless possibilities and expectations.
Find the little things that are romantic and act on them. It is every woman's dream to have a man who can read her every desire and succinctly interpret her by making her a reality. Sweep her off her feet by doing the little things that count.
Ask meaningful questions. As a man, you should be concerned with things that interest your woman. So ask her questions on her goals, plans, and ambitions. Do not ask questions like how old are you? Women quickly deem this as a shallow way of reasoning.
Do not be sexually aggressive. It is important to be sexual but you have to be charming and alluring with it. Do not be too pushy and fussy about it else you pass the wrong message and appear lustful. So rather than look at her breast line and stare endlessly at her seductive body, praise her look and let her feel comfortable with you and not harassed by your presence.
Never brag about yourself. This is a sign of insecurity and it shows you feel intimidated by her; after all empty barrels make the loudest noise. Exhume confidence and not pride and she will discern your worth herself.
Do not use the same old pick-up lines. Nothing annoys a woman more than the usual textbook pick-up lines; they are a cliché to her. Be creative, spontaneous, and direct when expressing you without mincing words. It is always better to let the occasion dictate rather than relay already crammed lines that may be out of place at a given time.
Be a good listener and be attentive. Every woman wants a man that pays attention to all they say, and who listens carefully enough to read between the lines even at unspoken words. It is rude to interrupt conversations or be distracted with other things like phone or TV while your woman is talking. Listening and paying attention shows her she is important and she will always want to be with you.
Have clear goals and ambitions. No woman likes to be with a clueless, helpless, and uninterested man. Be a goal getter and be purposeful while making your aims and objectives clear so that she can either buy into it or realise you are different from her desired man.
Be responsible. Responsibility is a very necessary trait for any real man. You must dress responsibly and be accountable for all we do. One must also be a man of integrity by saying only what we mean to say and meaning what we say.
Be caring. This involves showing genuine interest in the things that concerns your woman and encouraging her.

OMB Control Number: 0579-0104.
Summary of Collection: Under the Plant Protection Act (7 U.S.C. 7701-7772), the Secretary of Agriculture either independently or in cooperation with the States, is authorized to carry out operations or measures to detect, eradicate, suppress, control, prevent, or retard the spread of plant pests new to the United States or not widely distributed throughout the United States. The Plant Protection and Quarantine Service (PPQ) of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) engage in detection surveys to monitor the presence of the European gypsy moth and the Asian gypsy moth. The European gypsy moth is one of the most destructive pests of fruit and ornamental trees as well as hardwood forests. The Asian gypsy moth is an exotic strain of gypsy moth that is closely related to the European variety already established in the U.S. This strain is considered to pose an even greater threat to trees and forested areas. In order to determine the presence and extent of a European gypsy moth or an Asian gypsy moth infestation, APHIS sets traps in high-risk areas to collect specimens.
Need and Use of the Information: APHIS will collect information from the Gypsy Moth Identification Worksheet, PPQ Form 305, to identify and track specific specimens that are sent for test based on DNA analysis. This information collected is vital to APHIS's ability to monitor, detect, and eradicate gypsy moth infestations, and the worksheet is completed only when traps are found to contain specimens. Information on the worksheet includes the name of the submitter, the submitter's agency, the date collected, the trap number, the trap's location (including the nearest port of entry), the number of specimens in the trap, and the date the specimen was sent to the laboratory.
Description of Respondents: State, Local or Tribal Government; Federal Government.
Number of Respondents: 120.

Lower brain volume linked to memory lossOctober 7th, 2008 - 6:15 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Oct 7 (ANI): Have problem recalling the name of that friend who used to sit behind you in college? Or you always get a bashing from your friends for not remembering their birthdays? Well, then blame such memory loss on your lower brain volume, according to a new study.
The study found that people experiencing occasional memory loss had a lower brain volume, despite not showing any such deficits on regular tests of memory or dementia.
In the study, 500 Netherlands residents between the age group of 50 to 85 without dementia were asked about occasional memory problems.
The questions dealt with problems like having trouble thinking of the right word or forgetting things that happened in the last day or two, or thinking problems such as having trouble concentrating or thinking more slowly than they used to.
Later, their brains were scanned to measure the size of the hippocampus, an area of the brain important for memory and one of the first areas damaged by Alzheimer''s disease.
Out of the 500 people, 453 were found to have occasional memory or thinking problems, also called subjective memory problems, as they cant be seen on regular tests of memory and thinking skills.
It was found that people with occasional subjective memory problems had smaller hippocampus than their normal counterparts.
On average, the hippocampus had a volume of 6.7 millilitres in those with occasional subjective memory problems, compared to 7.1 millilitres in people with no memory problems.
"These occasional, subjective memory complaints could be the earliest sign of problems with memory and thinking skills and we were able to discover that these subjective memory complaints were linked to smaller brain volumes. Because occasional memory lapses were so common, though, much more work needs to be done to use such complaints diagnostically," said study author Frank-Erik de Leeuw, MD, neurologist and clinical epidemiologist, of Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Netherlands.
After measuring the amount of white matter lesions in all the participants, the researchers found that the amount of lesions was not tied to occasional memory problems.
All the participants had visited a neurology outpatient clinic not because of memory complaints but for reasons such as falls, vertigo, chronic head pain, or mild traumatic brain injury.
The study has been published in the latest issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. (ANI)

With April 18 behind them, the IRS has some advice for tax clients who missed yesterday's filing deadline.
First, they should file and pay owed taxes as soon as possible to minimize penalties and interest. For taxpayers who are due a refund, there's also no penalty for filing a late return.
If taxpayers owe but can't pay in full, they should pay as much as they can when they file their return. They can use the IRS's electronic payment options, or the free IRS Direct Pay tool from a checking or savings account.
Those who need more time to pay can apply for a direct debit installment agreement through an Online Payment Agreement. Taxpayers who don't use the online tool can apply on Form 9465.
Taxpayers who aren't required to file may still get a refund if they had taxes withheld from wages or they qualified for certain tax credits. Those who don't file their return within three years could lose their right to the refund.
The IRS also noted that nearly everyone can use Free File to e-file federal taxes. Taxpayers whose income was $64,000 or less can use free brand-name tax software; those who made more than $64,000 can use Free File Fillable Forms.
The IRS will send electronic confirmation when it receives the tax return and issues more than nine out of 10 refunds in less than 21 days.

Located just 56 kilometres (35 miles) west of San Salvador, the capital of the Central American country of El Salvador is Lake Coatepeque, an almost perfectly round crater-lake.
Also known as the Coatepeque Caldera, the name means "Snake Hill" and it was formed thousands, somewhere in the vicinity of between about 72,000 and 57,000 years ago, by the eruption of several overlapping stratovolcanoes east of Santa Ana volcano.
Lake Coatepeque, an almost perfectly round crater-lake that is 740m (2,428ft) above sea level, and it is one of El Salvador's most beautiful and enjoyable attractions. The deep blue lake is the magnet which draws people to the region. The 23 square kilometre (9 square miles) pristine lake is ideal for swimming, fishing, boating, and simply taking in the breath taking scenery.
The nearest town to the caldera is Santa Ana, which is just 18kms (11 miles) away to the south. Santa Ana is an historic town that is surrounded by volcanoes and other attractive lakes. Much of the land around the lake has been claimed to be used as weekenders by El Salvador's wealthy, meaning that there's not much of the lake that is easily accessible to the general public.
Nevertheless, there are still some areas which do give you access to the waters, and there are several lakeside restaurants that are ideal places to perch yourself in order to enjoy the stunning sunsets for which the caldera is famous.
The lake gets quite deep in parts, as much as 120 metres, and there is a large island near the eastern shore. Although El Salvador has a tropical climate, because of its altitude the waters of the lake can get quite cool, which is perfect if you have been active, but slightly unexpected given the outside temperature.
Because the caldera is also popular with locals, there is a good choice of hotels and hostels from which to choose. Given that it is such an attractive place, it is probably worthwhile staying near the lake for a few days to enjoy its ambience.
You can also base yourself at the lake to do some day touring to other nearby areas. The country here is quite spectacular, and although Coatepeque is the largest lake in the region, there are other smaller lakes, and some fascinating nearby volcanoes to explore.
El Salvador is not as westernised as most other Central American countries, so it can be a bit of a culture shock for those who are not prepared to confront a country whose citizens have strong local attitudes to life.

Matthews-Winters Park
Matthews Winters Park borders the ever popular Red Rocks Park (itself a part of the Denver Mountain Parks system). There are two main trails in this park, the Dakota Ridge Trail and the Red Rocks/Morrison Slide Loop, with various spurs and shorter trails. However, these trails can be pieced together for various combinations including a 9 mile marathon that covers the entirety of the park. Steep ridges, rolling hills, and red rock formations make this a very special part of the Jefferson County Open Space system.

Hi all!
Thought I'd show you my latest creations....
Russ had this tshirt for ages, and loved it, but it got a little tight for him lol! So I rescued it from the trash, and turned it into a shirt for Jamie.
Jamie decided he needed to do some of his 'posing' shots.....
Then I made this Feliz today...it's a little different to the usual style I make. It has no overdress, no frills, but it does have the sash ties still, with grosgrain ribbon straps and a giant applique flower. I love the way this turned out!
and finally....a sneaky peek at the oilcloth camera bag I'm working on...it's going ok so far lol!
Thanks for looking!

Series: The 10 Greatest Books of All Time
Virtual Entertainment, 2013
The story takes place in 1922, during the Roaring Twenties, the post-World War I prosperous time in the United States. Described as the "ironic tale of life on Long Island at a time when gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession," it received critical acclaim. In it Mr. Fitzgerald was at his best...his "ability to catch the flavor of a period, the fragrance of a night, a snatch of old song". The book is widely regarded as a "Great American Novel" and a literary classic, capturing the essence of an era and the post-war "carefree madness" of a nation hungry for life. The Modern Library named it the second best English language novel of the 20th Century.
In a 1924 letter, Fitzgerald said, "the burden of The Great Gatsby was the loss of those illusions that give such color to the world that you don't care whether things are true or false as long as they partake of the magical glory."
— Excerpted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

As a new comer to the blogsphere I have been wondering how best to post the creations of the web and make sure the creator gets there due credit. So often I am blogging from other blogs, and sharing images from Facebook.
So how can I make sure that the creators get the credit?
As of today all I can do is try to google any information on the photos themselves or track it backward as much as possible. But I still feel like every creation posted should list it's creator and a link if available.
To my followers and steampunk creators I ask this: What is the best way to make sure a creator gets credit, and how much effort should be given to this?

THE so-called real life Tony Stark has quietly launched a company effectively designed to turn us into cyborgs and merge our brains with AI technology.
Whether he's promising to fix South Australia's power supply crisis or colonise Mars, few dream bigger than Elon Musk.
The co-founder of PayPal and the founder of Tesla and SpaceX has reportedly launched a new company that could merge computers with human brains.
The company is called Neuralink Corp and is pursuing what Musk calls "neural lace" technology, implanting tiny brain electrodes that may one day upload and download thoughts, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal.
The concept is not an uncommon one but the science behind it is very much in its infancy.
Musk has long signalling his intention to enter the area of brain-computer interfaces and outlined his vision for the neural lace at the Recode's Code Conference last year.
"We're already a cyborg — I mean, you have a digital or partial version of yourself in the form of your emails and your social media and all the things that you do, and you have basically superpowers with your computer and your phone and the applications that are there," Mr Musk said at the conference.
For him the plan is all about ushering in the true symbiosis of man and machine intelligence — a task countless others are also committed to.
"Effectively merging in a symbiotic way with digital intelligence revolves around eliminating the I/O (input/output) constraint, which would be some sort of direct cortical interface," the billionaire entrepreneur said.
Back in January, during musings on social media about starting a boring company to dig underground tunnels to alleviate traffic congestion, Musk told one Twitter user he might soon make an announcement about his neural lace plans.
Musk has not made an official announcement, but Neuralink was registered in California as a "medical research" company last July, and he plans on funding the company mostly by himself.
It is unclear what sorts of products Neuralink might create, but people who have had discussions with the company describe a strategy similar to Musk's other companies, SpaceX and Tesla.
In recent weeks, Neuralink has also hired leading academics in the field, the Journal reported.

Most people are familiar with the standard job fair model. Businesses seeking new employees set up a table and fill it with information about their company. Then, job seekers make their way down the line, have short conversations at each table, hand over a resume and shake hands before moving on to the next booth.
This past June, Northcentral Technical College (NTC) took this concept and flipped the table, metaphorically speaking, by hosting its inaugural IT Reverse Job Fair.
At the event, seven IT students and recent graduates who were looking to secure employment set up interactive demonstration tables in order to display their work and the knowledge they had accumulated while at NTC. From software developers to network specialists, the students showcased their unique skill sets as employers floated from table to table, reviewing the work on display and asking detailed questions.
This highly targeted event paid dividends for both the students and employers, as they were able to spend valuable one-on-one time together to mutually determine if there was a good fit.
"The recent Reverse Job Fair was a much needed innovation to streamline the process of connecting students with employers," said NTC student Seth Ficke. "I had more success there than at any other employment fair I have ever attended, even ones with many more potential opportunities."
For Ficke, the IT Reverse Job Fair turned out to be more successful than even he initially realized, as shortly after the event, he accepted a job with one of the employers he had visited with on that day.
The employers in attendance also expressed their appreciation for the innovative approach to a job fair, as it gave them the chance to get to know the students in a relaxed setting, making the conversations more personal and in-depth.
"Not only was it great for those participating as students or recent graduates, it was also a perfect time for employers to pay attention to one potential applicant at a time and really understand all that that person has to offer," said Liz Soczka, Aspirus Human Resources Representative. "I wish that when I was in college I could have had been given the same opportunity, as I think this type of job fair could be extremely beneficial to those entering the workforce in the next few years."

It's been another busy day. There wasn't much sewing going on here in my little corner of the northeast of England. I attended an event which of course involved this tower of quilts …..
Before heading off, I loaded a quilt into my longarm quilting system to start quilting tomorrow. I'm interrupting my summer break to get this one job done. University students need quilts and as they start their studies again in a few weeks' time it is important that this quilt gets longarm quilted now. I hope to bring you a progress report tomorrow.
I did a wee bit of stitching this morning before I kicked off. Do you remember this doodle from yesterday?
Well I gave it a go. At the time when I was doodling I had no intention of replicating it by stitching it out …..
And although it's not perfectly identical to my doodle it is a pretty good representation of what I penned wouldn't you say.
This little piece of stitching is only 8 inches square. And I used up scraps of backing and wadding leftover from another project. I even used the thread that was already running thru my sewing machine. I had a spare hour before I had to leave for my outing. And while I was adding a few things to today's To-Do List I spotted yesterday's doodles and decided to give a go at Freemotion Quilting it. I think I shall do a little more doodling that will stretch me. I realise that sometimes things don't always work out as we would like but today's effort is pretty good. So I encourage everyone to have a go. Doodle something and try to stitch it out. Go on, you know you want to!
Once again I will say it's been another brilliant day in happy longarm quilter land. Over the last few weeks I have been more relaxed about day-to-day living but today I went back to making lists of what I need to get done. I think I'm going to find it hard to get back into the groove but I have to do it. I have another week or so before things go back to normal in my sewing room. I'll tell you a secret ….. the Christmas longarm quilting bookings are coming in steady. The slots are booking up quicker than I thought they would!
So for this evening, this very happy longarm quilter is going to be doing some planning in order to be able to fit everything in. I hope you have a super cosy evening doing something you really enjoy. Until you read me again,
Happy stitching. ♥ ♥

For the last several days, I have cruised the wheat field, all 4 x 40 feet of it. I learned that once it started to ripen, it is important to check it daily by tasting a wheat berry. When the wheat is unripe, the berry is sort of mushy. Once it ripens, the berry sort of cracks. As a farmer, I checked it every day for the last week or so. On Thursday, a berry cracked. So, I scheduled my beautiful mom to come over on this beautiful Saturday morning and help with the harvest. She's been looking forward to it…
A John Deere combine wouldn't fit on Gladys Drive, plus there is a tricky telephone pole at the end of the retaining wall, so we opted for a hedge trimmer instead. Bzzzzzzzzzzz.
At some point in the process, I had to relinquish control. I mean, I wanted to cut each stalk with scissors to ensure that I wouldn't lose any wheat. It became clear within seconds that scissors, shears, or lawn trimmer were not going to do it. Hedge trimmer it was. I buzzed it one way, and the wheat fell the other. My mom started gathering it up, and we tied a string around it. (To make a sheave, people!)
After we bundled and tied all the wheat, and placed it on the front porch, we went back over the cut wheat to gather extraneous grain. Couple of passes, and I gathered about another pound of grain.
After that, I gave the field a buzz cut. I will turn the soil next week.
In the meantime, the wheat will sit on the porch continuing to dry until my thumbnail won't make a dent in a berry. Then it's time to winnow!
I feel Amish.
