Retrofit on Change of Service Program
The Retrofit on Change of Service Program has been in place since 2004 and complements California Senate Bill 407.
This policy mandates that all plumbing fixtures, including toilets, showerheads, and sink faucets, be low-flow. Verification or replacement is required within 90 days upon a change in ownership or account holder.
Here is how it works:
- Upon a change of water service (when the account holder changes in the Department of Water and Power (DWP)'s records), the new property owner must file a Water Conservation Certificate with the DWP within 90 days of receipt of the certificate.
- If the DWP does not already have a certificate on file, a notification letter and certificate will be mailed to you.
- All plumbing fixtures must be inspected to ensure that they are low-flow/flush. Detailed instructions are included in the letter or can be found below. Requirements, which follow federal standards, have been in place since 1994:
- Toilets must have flush volumes of 1.6 Gallons Per Flush (GPF) or less.
- Faucets must have flow rates of 2.2 gallons per minute or less.
- Showerheads must have flow rates of 2.5 gallons per minute or less.
- If the plumbing fixtures are not already low-flow/flush, all necessary retrofits need to be made within 90 days, and the certificate needs to be filled out, signed by the property owner, and returned to the DWP office. Replacement fixtures must follow current California state standards.
- If the plumbing fixtures are already low-flow/flush, the certificate needs to be filled out, signed by the property owner and returned to the DWP office within 90 days.
Mandatory January 1, 2016 for new fixtures in California
- Residential lavatory (bathroom) faucets shall not exceed 1.2 gallons per minute flow rate.
- Kitchen faucets shall not exceed 1.8 gallons per minute flow rate and may have the capability to increase to 2.2 gallons per minute momentarily for filling pots and pans.
- Public lavatory (bathroom) faucets shall not exceed 0.5 gallon per minute flow rate.
- Toilets shall not consume more than 1.28 GPF.
You can check the plumbing fixtures yourself, or DWP conservation staff can conduct a free indoor plumbing survey at your property, by appointment and during normal business hours.
To ensure customer compliance, the DWP provides customers with free replacement faucet aerators & showerheads. We also offer a toilet rebate program. To participate in the the toilet rebate program, you must contact the Conservation Department before replacing your toilet.
To ensure compliance, the DWP conducts random inspections on 20% of all properties certified.

Instructions for Checking Plumbing Fixtures
Remember, if you have questions, please contact the Conservation Department or schedule a free indoor plumbing survey. We would be happy to assist you!
Toilets - Toilets manufactured before 1994 are high-flush with volumes of 3.5-7 GPF and toilets manufactured from 1994 to present are low-flush with volumes of 1.6 GPF or 1.28 GPF.
For most toilet models, the date or flush volume is typically imprinted under the lid of the tank or on the inside walls of the tank. For some models, the flush volume is stamped on the toilet between the bowl and the tank.
The use of displacement devices such as bottles or bricks, or the installation/ adjustment of flush valves or alternative flushing devices is prohibited.
Showerheads - The flow rate is typically stamped somewhere on the outside of the showerhead or on the face where the spray comes out.
Showerhead flow restrictors are not acceptable.
Sink Faucets - The flow rate is typically stamped somewhere on the faucet aerator, which is the tip of the faucet.

Psychology empowers people to convert simple routine activities into high pay-off interactions. The tricks are usually simpler and only demand careful consideration and implementation from your side. So here we are sharing 20 quite simple but quite useful psychological hacks that you can use to manipulate the people around you and generate the best out of your routine activities.
1. Notice the unique words people speak and use those words when talking with them. It will make them feel closer to you.
2. Keep your hands crossed and keep nodding your head while talking. It will make them believe that you are listening to him/her carefully even when you are not.
3. When you are one among few weak targets, being a less weaker one will save you from the harm.
For example, one of my friend's rich uncle having costly property used to keep an old watchman at his home who was barely capable to protect himself. When my friend asked him the reason, his uncle replied that even though the watchman was quite weak to protect his house, his house had lesser or almost zero chance to be attacked by thieves because other houses in his society had no watchman at all. So simply, why would a thief try to steal from a house with watchman when there were few other safer options to do that. The trade-off here was having a threat mechanism –a watchman– didn't matter how older or how stronger he was!
4. Instead of saying no for anything, change your sentence to "I can do if", That way you won't be denying and neither doing it.
For example, if a client is wanting you to create a website for him and you know that he won't pay more than 20k Rs for it, and you don't want to take that project, you can simply tell him that I can do if you can pay me 30k Rs. In that case, you won't say him no and neither be doing that project.
5. Keep moving and making gestures with your hands while delivering presentations instead of standing at one place. It will present you as a confident and impressive one and conceal your nervousness.
6. Sprinkle a mild perfume or talc before going on date or meeting and keep yourself clean. Fragrance can greatly affect the others mood while conversing.
7. Before asking anybody for help, introduce them with something impressive about you and ask the him to let you talk with the higher authority. This will make them listen you carefully and you can put your actual conversation then.
For example, if you are a marketing executive and are calling your possible prospect for a design quotation, introduce yourself like- "Hi, Darshan here from Mike Sierra, Ahmedabad, can you please hand over this phone to your business manager?". This way the receiver will feel as if it is something important and will tend to listen you more carefully.
8. If you want to get attention from a highly attractive or popular person, stay around her, talk with people around her and don't look at her as if she's not there. She will then notice you and try to initiate conversation with you.
9. If you want to propose someone, don't ask her directly for it. First tell her that this is something really important so please think upon it carefully and then tell her response the next day.
Handover a written paper piece saying "I love you. It took a great courage and many months of confusion to handover this. So please don't be rude and do let me know what you feel. It would be a dream come true if you be mine. Do I stand a chance? Can I prove it and be your special one with all my hearts? Ignore this if your answer is no or decide what to do if your answer is yes. Please take your time if you are unsure." to her and tell her to read it in personal only after you have gone.
10. This way, you will be able to know and face the answer she has, no matter what, and it won't get awkward too.
11. Use people's name while talking to them. Name is the dearest word people love to listen. It will make them instantly pay attention to you.
12. Smile before initiating communication. It will mostly bring the positive response or at least a bearably negative one.
13. Above all, read the Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence the people" It is the best book you can ever read and absorb for making people and situations work in your favor.
14. Instead of explaining people about your opinion directly, keep a habit to present your views with examples and analogies. People tend to easily accept opinions after listening to examples.
- 15. People tend to happily repay the favors you do to them. So whenever you help someone and she thanks you for that, instead of saying her "No problem", tell her that she/he can pay the favor back in future by helping you the next time when you need her. This way you will always have someone to help you out in life.
- 16. If you want a person to not change her words and complete her promise in future, take the promise in public or where somebody else is listening her. People tend to prove themselves more ethical when it's known publicly.
- 17. People value the things more which are scarce for them so before selling your service, tell your client that you might be late than their expected time as you have few other projects in queue too. Thus your client will be instantly impressed and will insist herself to work with you only and give you better price in turn.
- 18. Become a bad liar. Convince people that you are a bad liar by speaking silly lies to them that they can easily catch and they will start believing that you can not lie efficiently.
- 19. If you are appearing for an interview, try to be either first or last person to face the interviewer. People tend to remember the first and last appearances more.
- 20. To make people discuss about something unexpected, try putting an anecdote or incident instead of direct question. This way, the other person will be tempted to present his opinion about the incident or anecdote and unknowingly.
- 21. Compliment people's view of themselves to make them your friends. If they think they're funny, laugh at their jokes. If they think they're smart, inquire about that subject. This way they will eventually start feeling closer to you.
We will come up with many more such tricks soon. Subscribe if you like our blog posts.

It's a pity they don't have the ears of our great and glorious leaders. Your taxes pay their salaries but it's to no avail; the bureaucrats and the politicians are pulling in different directions.
John Whitehead, Secretary to the Treasury, gave a speech in November telling it like it is. These two images, which accompanied his talk, illustrate clearly the problems Just Wondering has been set up to address. When the Treasury Secretary tells the Government publicly that we're in deep trouble perhaps we should be paying attention and perhaps we should be demanding that Mr Key and Mr English do too.
The must-read text of the full speech is here along with many more graphs showing the sorry state this country is in and indicating the desperate state we're plummeting into.
GDP gets an F minus; this is the problem
I hate Powerpoint, but I'll bite the bullet to inflict upon you these two images from the presentation. They say it all:
R&D gets an F too; could do better but just isn't trying
This is a substantial part of the reason we have the problem. R&D is the key to the beginning of the beginning of restoring our prosperity.

Guest writer; Michael Kimmel.
When I was asked to contribute to this blog, I had no idea what I could possibly write about. I still live in NYC. I have for the last 14 years. Katie does an amazing job of discussing the changes she's seen in a city she has loved and lost, but it's a abusive relationship I'm still in….so what could I possibly bring to the table? But then it dawned on me- As a new parent, there are things in this city closed off to me now. Permanently. So, for this post, I would like to take a moment and list things about NYC that I will never see again….
1. After hours joints– It's not like I've been to one in years, but illegal, after hour bars are a true staple of NYC if you know where to find them, and they usually contain some of the most surreal shit you've ever seen. So, goodbye Trannie-dressed-as-a-golden-girl-doing-coke-on-a-bar-while-eating-a-hot-dog. I have to be up for the early feeding.
2. Eating dinner in a nice restaurant with my wife and not adding a $100 dollars to the bill at the end of the night. Yes, babysitters in Manhattan cost anywhere from $15 an hour to upwards of the cost of a call girl, depending on the educational background of said caregiver. It was actually cheaper for Spitzer to go to DC, hire a hooker, book a hotel and get freaky than to take his wife out and leave the kids with the au pair. Don't hate on him….
3. Not being hated on the subway. We don't have a car. No need. What we do have is a big ass stroller that can carry more things than Viggo's shopping cart in THE ROAD. But try fitting that thing on a subway car packed with people. And there is no way to easily maneuver it for people to get out of the way. So they glare, spit, throw feces and generally do what they can to show their disdain.
4. Smoking in bars. I am a reformed smoker. It is a horrible habit, and I am glad it's not in bars anymore. It is smelly and gross. But goddammit, people looked cooler and hotter in bars when they were smoky. I don't care who you are, you always looked better at 2 am sipping a cocktail in a haze of smoke. Have you seen Mad Men? Is Don Draper that good looking, or is it the Marlboros talking? Why do you think they use to put vasoline on camera lenses? Because obscuring things made them sexier. I guarantee that if you polled people regarding one night stands before and after the smoking ban, even after copious amounts of alcohol, the numbers skyrocketed when you were conducting business in the amidst of a thick fog.
5. Not being a curmudgeon. In general, sleep deprivation causes you to age at least 20 years. So in years past, the Mardi Gras-like atmosphere of NYC's Lower East Side, would cause you to go crazy and join in on the festivities. Now, I walk through the streets talking to myself, cursing all the drunk co-eds throwing up in the streets, while secretly wishing I had been with them an hour earlier while they were pounding Pabst blue ribbon cans and shots all the while talking about the new soulja boy album. WHO IS SOULJA BOY???? I just don't know. See? Curmudgeon. Well, there is a list of just a few things that I mourn while still living here.
RIP, single craziness….Hello Gymboree.
Michael Kimmel is a theater director in NYC, where he lives with his wife and daughter. He is currently developing The Last Goodbye, his adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with the music of Jeff Buckley for a commercial production early next year.

Novela Skin Serum Review – Many skin problems arise when someone gets older. These are the signs and symptoms of aging. Women, most especially are the ones affected by these aging problems.
This is because women are more concerned about how they look. They worry more about their physical attributes than any other factors in their body.
This is also probably the reason why women are having difficulty accepting the fact that they are getting older. One of the obvious signs of aging is the wrinkling of the skin.
Click Here To Get Your Novela Skin Serum Risk Free Trial
Wrinkles and other fine lines upset most women. If this is found on their skin, they readily panic. For them, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines are reminders that they are already old.
Yes! they do freak out upon the mere mention of the word "old." It is something they couldn't accept. Just the mere imagination of being old is already enough to make them faint. Yup, they really do overreact to the fact that they are getting older.
Women wanted their beauty to last. It is what they think hooked them to their husbands or partners. When youthfulness and beauty are lost, they might lose them too. They would imagine that their husbands are gonna go wandering to other younger and pretty women.
Getting old is really a nightmare to most women. They always think that their husbands would have another woman because they are already old. Insecurities are what women set them apart to reality.
Women think that if they are already gray and old, they would lose the man they love, they have this great feeling of insecurities which they can never explain.
That is why we can say that men and women have different sets of insecurities. They really differ in so many ways. So when they say that men are from Mars and women from Venus is really true.
Beauty is very important to women of our society. We take beauty on a very different level. It is not surprising to know that they are like that.
Naturally, the beauty and finesse of a woman are placed on a pedestal by the society itself. We expected so much from a woman. We always expect her to be as beautiful and youthful as what we expect them to be, simply because she is a woman.
That rationale kept her thinking that her beauty should stay and never fades. Because of this rationality, women are doing everything she can to maintain this thing called beauty.
Unfortunately, there are things which cannot be avoided. Aging really comes to us, whether you are a man or a woman. It is inevitable.
Remember, when we grow old, it means that wisdom and experience have been added to our age. The gray hairs and the wrinkles on our skin are proof that we have gained that wisdom and experience through the ages.
Of course, not everybody will be able to understand the idea. Yes, it is good to have gained the life experiences and wisdom, but at the end of the day, women will still be concerned with their looks.
No matter how old they get, they wouldn't really mind as long as they still look as youthful as ever. Well, you might be saying it is impossible, that there is nothing we can do about reversing the aging process.
That could be the mindset of people who think that aging is really the end point of being old. But did you know that age is just a number if you fully know the secret of lasting beauty and youthfulness?
This is the time to reveal the secret to lasting youth and beauty. The fountain of lasting beauty has finally been found and we are now revealing the secret to the real lasting beauty that never fades despite your age.

Do You Love Me? (4)
Here we are with one of the posts that I was talking about: 2NE1's performance outfits.
For their comeback on Mcountdown, 2NE1 wore these lovely dresses from Ground Zero's S/S 2013 collection.
Ground Zero is so simple to recognize since they almost are using a cartoon robot print this season.
Can I just simply say that I LOVE these dresses, they are so different from ordinary dresses.
I want one :( If I could choose, I would pick CL's dress.
How about you?

Donald Trump tweeted in 2013, let's get out of Afghanistan. Our troops are being killed by the Afghanis we train, and we waste billions there – nonsense. This week, President Trump announced what he called a new strategy. But it includes sending a few thousand more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, increasing U.S. Special Forces missions and no fixed goal for withdrawal from a country where the U.S. has had combat troops for 16 years. Max Boot, historian and senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, joins us. Mr. Boot, thanks for being with us.
MAX BOOT: Thanks for having me.
SIMON: You've been highly critical President Trump. But what do you think of this policy?
BOOT: Well, I think it's probably a reasonable thing to do. I mean, it's not a policy that thrills anybody. And it doesn't hold out the prospect of any immediate victory. It's basically a recipe for long-term engagement. But it's hard to think of what the alternative is because the only other alternatives are – A, we can withdraw or, B, we can send a heck of a lot more U.S. troops. But neither option seems terribly attractive. And so I think President Trump basically chose the status quo option, which again is not sexy or exciting. But it seems like a reasonable thing to do given the level of threat that we would face in Afghanistan if the Taliban and assorted other Islamist groups were to take over.
SIMON: And what threat is that? Because 9/11 is a number of years ago at this point. What would happen if the U.S. withdrew?
BOOT: Well, as the president mentioned in his speech, I mean, there are something in the neighborhood of 14 to 20 internationally designated terrorist groups that are operating in the area of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Of course, there's Islamic State, which is there. There's the Taliban. There's al-Qaida. There's the Haqqani network. There's a whole bunch of others. And what we've seen pretty consistently is that if we allow these groups that have ungoverned space, bad things happen.
We saw that in Afghanistan in the 1990s when the Taliban took over. We've seen it more recently in the last few years when ISIS took over a significant chunk of Syria and Iraq. That's not something that we can live with, I think, in terms of U.S. national security, especially when those groups would be destabilizing also Pakistan, which is a nuclear armed state.
So I think the way – one way you can look at what we're doing there now with approximately 10,000 troops there now and – a number that will go up probably to 15,000 or so after the increase that President Trump has ordered. What we're doing, in a sense, is kind of buying insurance against the very worst thing imaginable happening, which is, once again, having an Islamic state in the middle of the Middle East. But we're not willing to do what it takes to actually defeat the Taliban, which would be a much more ambitious undertaking.
SIMON: Well, you used that phrase – I believe it was ungoverned space. What about the idea that if the West has learned nothing else over a century in Afghanistan, it's that the country might be ungovernable, at least the way we understand it by, you know, the measures of Western democracy. I mean, there – U.S. troops in Afghanistan have been there so long. Some of them being sent now reportedly are the sons and daughters of U.S. service members who were there initially.
BOOT: That – no, that's all true. But I would counsel against the notion that, you know, Afghanistan is doomed to perpetual warfare because remember, prior to 1979 and the Russian invasion, Afghanistan was actually a peaceful place. I mean, it was still very poor, still very decentralized. But it wasn't rocked by this constant warfare, which we see there now. And I don't think we can just stand back and say, this is hopeless, and allow these extremist groups to take over. It is very, very difficult. But we're making a – I think, what is a fairly low-level commitment – one that doesn't mercifully produce too many U.S. casualties and keeps our military footprint relatively low. And I think that's – again, that's better than the alternatives, which is kind of just to throw up our hands in despair or some of the other options that Trump looked like turning the war over to mercenaries and contractors, which I don't think would be a good idea either.
SIMON: In the half a minute we have left, you've been so critical of President Trump. Do you give him some credit for, in a sense, breaking a very explicit campaign promise once he becomes president.
BOOT: I do. I mean, I do give him some credit. I mean, I think he's been a terrible, terrible president – one of the very worst we've ever had. But in this particular case, I have to give him some credit for basically allowing himself to have his arm twisted by his military and national security advisers who convinced him that his instincts were wrong. Now, the issue is whether he will stick with his current decision because as we've seen consistently with Trump, he changes his mind all the time and finds himself on both sides of the issue. But if he sticks with this resolve, I think that is probably the best decision he could have made regarding Afghanistan.
SIMON: Max Boot, thanks so much for being with us.
BOOT: Thanks for having me.

In the last 6 months, I have changed cleaning methods. I have changed noise that I call across the field, but most of all, I have changed the amount of elbow grease that I have to use in order to put a saddle on. My arms are showing it too. Ugh!
Can you guess what I have done?
Yep, I've changed horse. Not moved on – no one can move on from a nibbling, grumpy grey gelding, only upwards maybe… but I have upgraded. Don't tell Thunder! He would roll over in his grave if he heard me, and then bite me.
Meet Oscar,
Three features that I have noticed straight off:
Imagine it, you bring your horse in from the field, keen for a ride and you quickly remember the Pony Club rules – don't ride without a spotless horse, it's good for their welfare, good discipline etc etc etc. So, you remove the rug from your darling horse, to see a complete rug outline around your horse's legs and neck, including the tail, made out of mud, fresh, wet, mud.
The tail, on a grey horse, could be a beautiful white, flowing, maybe even slightly crimped… 'cause you are winning at life. Then reality hits, you have a yellow, mucky, clumped tail – and no amount of mane and tail will crack it. You just give up, and hope you see no one on your hack.
Queue everyone you know to passing you on the roads, even your Pony Club District Chairman from 15 years ago… give a rider a break…
Instead, here I am, grooming the new horse's tail to the inch of it's life, and it is effortless. Could it be that you cannot see the dirt levels, it just needs a good comb through? Don't ruin my heaven.
Entire Body
Quite literally all of the mud falls off a bay quicker than a grey – why is this? I don't think I have had such flappy chicken wings in my life before. This is great.
You quickly brush over the horse, and then feel guilty, that you haven't broken a sweat grooming. Is this normal?
Man, I don't want to wake up!
Open Door Policy
Oh my, this is one thing that could never, ever, happen with Thunder.
Now then, Oscar allows the stable door to be open, open wide, no head collar on, nothing. Thunder would be out of the door within seconds, with another idea of what he should be entertaining himself with. But not Oscar… he just stands there waiting to be cared for – waiting to be groomed, and loving his salt lick.
What is this? I can totally get used to it. If I leave the stable, would he stay?
It might be fair to say that the old steed is a dreamboat – plus he comes to his name… Thunder did do this, but not as reliably!!
Have you had to change horse recently? What are your silver linings?

Northminster - The Maltings
Purchased by Northminster Limited in 2015 the building has been carefully refurbished to provide 6 high quality 2 & 3 bedroom residential units incorporating many original features of the building including original timber trusses, the malt bin doors, and Victorian cast columns. All accessed from the stunning 20ft high open 3 storey entrance atrium housing the original working machinery including the Nalder & Nalder seed dressing machine, bucket lift elevator, steep, grain hopper and 'taking in' door winch machinery, all arranged over the original quarry tile floor. Meanwhile at the southern entrance there is located the original H. J. H. King furnace, it is the survival of this early King furnace which makes this building so important as it is thought to be the only one of its kind.
Northminster have gone to great lengths to respect the heritage of this building enabling home owners to enjoy the historic industrial past in the comfort of modern contemporary homes in what must be one of York's most sought after Bishopthorpe Road locations.

Hey Lovelies!!
We're kicking off this week with a brand new format for our Monday Pep Rally posts!
As always, Monday Pep Rally is a weekly feature where the Misfits post a question for you, the reader, to answer.
But here's the fun new part: we're taking the discussion to twitter! Every Monday, we'll be talking about our Pep Rally question on twitter and we'd love you to join in. Just keep an eye out for the #MisfitPepRally hashtag!
Today I want to talk about covers.
Book covers are the main reason why I would be devastated if e-books completely eliminate physical books from the market. I know that e-books have covers as well, and they're just as beautiful, but I can't line them up on my bookshelf and stare at them when I'm supposed to be writing at my desk.
I went to the Southern Kentucky Book Fest a couple weekends ago, and as I wandered through the enormous room filled with tables and tables of books stacked upon books---I was again reminded of just how important the cover is. I had a (very sweet and not at all impatient, no sir) child pulling me along, and there just wasn't time to stop and study each book. While I forced her to stop at each and every YA table, once we got past them, I had to rely solely on the cover's ability to catch my eye in order to stop long enough to check it out.
For me, the cover is everything. At a time when many authors don't have huge marketing budgets, the cover might be the only chance we have to grab a reader's attention.
I know we all have different tastes in covers. Personally, I like a cover that gives me a few clues to the plot of the book--not just a picture of the main character or half a face or something. With that in mind, here are a few of my favorites:
Do you find yourself drawn to certain kinds of covers? What are some of your favorites, recent and overall? Don't forget to look for our discussion on Twitter under #MIsfitPepRally!

Aromatherapy For Your Soul by Dr Silvia Hartmann
Illicium Verum: Inviting,
leading in and down, nourishing, hunger stilling, soothing,
stimulating a revival of all passions.
China Star is good for
people who have abandoned their bodies; builds
compassion for the body, rekindles good body
feelings, helps with eating disorders and sexual
problems. A major component of romantic love
There once was
a hermit who wanted to be a holy man and decided he had
to find God in the desert. So he went and lived in the
stony desert by himself; and he lived there for so long
that the sands and winds and heat and cold blew all
memory of why he was even there, what he was called or
why he had come from his mind. He became a wild thing
that wandered about and one day, he wandered close to
the home of a woman who had build a house at the edge of
the desert, near a fine spring, where she grew fruit and
flowers and many healing herbs as well.
She saw the
man and became fascinated; over many days, she
befriended him like a wild animal and eventually he came
close enough to take some food from her hand. He looked
so lost and thin that the woman had a great feeling of
compassion flow over her - she couldn't help herself,
she stroked his face. He didn't draw back, but stared at
her - her touch reminded him of many things that were
now coming back to him.
It took a long
time but eventually, he became a husband and then a
father, and finally learned what holiness is really all

DEFENDING champion Far Eastern University clashes with last season's runner up University of the Philippines, while rivals De La Salle and Ateneo collide on Sunday in the semifinals of the UAAP Season 77 men's football tournament at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium. Unlike in the recent years where the top-ranked squads have twice-to-beat privileges, all teams are in equal footing as the semifinals is a one-match affair with the winners play in the one-game Finals on March 8 also at the Rizal pitch. With reigning MVP Paolo Bugas back in harness, the second-ranked Tamaraws are slightly favored in their 4 p.m. duel with the No. 3 Fighting Maroons. In a rematch of Season 75 semis, the top seeded Green Booters hope to sustain their unbeaten run in the tournament against the Blue Eagles, who are back in the postseason after a one-year absence, in the first match at 2 p.m. Both matches will be aired live on ABS-CBN Sports+Action. The FEU-UP match will feature the league's top two goalscorers in the Tamaraws' Eric Giganto and the Maroons' Jinggoy Valmayor. Valmayor, who is playing his final year for UP, is on a personal mission as he missed the championship match against FEU last year as the national under-23 standout was serving a two-game suspension. But the Tamaraws have a deep lineup featuring Jess Melliza, Nicolas Ferrer and Arnel Amita and Joshua Mulero. La Salle will miss defender Timothy Brago, who was suspended due to cumulative yellow cards, but coach Hans Smit still has Nate Alquiros, Sabin Bustamante and Chuck Uy leading the attack. The Green Booters last won the championship in 1998. Ateneo, the Season 75 champion, suffered a major blow in its bid to make a return stint to the Finals, as midfield general Mikko Mabanag is suspended also due to cumulative yellow cards.

This is often my initial Lelo product or service. I billed it up and made a decision to test fly it tonight. I am total, prepared to bust a single off and have not even turned it on.

Upon getting conquered this behemoth, reward by yourself with the last word payoff. Squeeze the balls and Derek will ejaculate on you or in you or use a ejaculating strapon The balls keep about half an ounce of liquid, and therefore are straightforward to fill. Just location the idea in the liquid of decision, depress the balls, and launch. Derek is entirely loaded and ready to go!
Portion 18A from the Sexual Offences Act, 1957, inserted by the Immorality Amendment Act, 1969, prohibited the manufacture or sale of any item "intended to be utilized to perform an unnatural sexual act".

Just so people know, only one person has been on base for the twins today, it was a walk. Edit: never mind home run for the twins
Nope what I said is allowed. Mario Impemba pretty much said exactly what I said.
What will be will be. I don't believe in luck good or bad.
/knock on wood
That didn't take long. Nice job OP.
I didn't mention anything about a no hitter, i made the thread in the 4th HR happened in the 6th
For general reference, here are the some of the Tigers team stats and their ranking in the MLB (in parentheses) as of this morning per StatSheet:
|Team Hitting
|.278 (1)
|655 (3)
|331 (5)
|68 (16)
|322 (4)
Team Pitching
|3.52 (6)
|248 (26)
|1.18 (2)
|175 (26)
|634 (1)
Team Fielding
|1,788 (23)
|556 (26)
|28 (27)
|6 (7)
|98.8% (4)
Through seven, it's still a very good stat line for FIster - 5 Ks, 1 BB and a one-hitter even if the one hit was a home run. As a team, the Tigers are 9-27 at the plate today as we go into the 8th inning.
How can we be 6th in ERA... and 26th in runs allowed? Is our ERA calculated for our starters only, or does 26th in runs mean that we've given up the 26th MOST amount of runs?
Since this is the second no hitter we have taken into the late innings against the twins this year, Does anyone think we will see the Twins get no hit at all during this year?
Why would Leyland put Pena in there to run for Avila... and not put someone in there with better speed and let Pena get prepped to catch the next inning?
Say you want to inform someone about a possible no-hitter and give them the opportunity to watch if you know they otherwise might miss it. I usually wait until the 7th and then text something like "Hey, you might want to check out the Tigers game right now."
Just tell them so and so has a no-hitter/perfect game and tell him the inning.
now 5-2, top of the 9th runners still on 2nd and 3rd with 2 down. Miggy at the plate...
Sparing us the aggravation of Valverde.
Instead, Benoit in to close this one out.
1-2-3 9th...final score, Detroit 5, Minnesota 2.
No "Win! Twins!" today.

He's crafty! His patch game's tight.
by Bill Cable
on 2018-02-07, 08:14:18
Greetings loyal readers! Have you ever looked through your gigantic box full of Star Wars Celebration swag patches and wondered, "What the hell am I gonna do with all this crap?" Join the club! I've personally been struggling for years with a pile of patches that seems wasted just shoved into bags and boxes, never again to see the light or be appreciated.
The problem is that organizing them is difficult. A lot of people go with top-loader CD storage binders, which work OK as long as the patches are of typical size. But lost in that solution are those multi-piece puzzle patch sets you worked so hard to complete. And those are the best patches there are!!
The obvious choice is to mount them - but patches present a very challenging problem. No mounting material will stick to them. The backing is wax, so tape and glue won't stick at all. Anything that would stick will damage the patches.
After puzzling over this dilemma for a good, long while, I had an epiphany. And I'm happy to share it with you!
We start with an artist's portfolio. I went with an Itoya brand 11 X 14 Art Presentation Portfolio; number one because I didn't care if it was expandable, and number two because it's very affordable.
Now I hear you saying, "That's great and all, Bill - but you still don't have any tape that'll attach your patches to the paper inserts! You're an idiot!!" And that, my friends, is where inspiration struck. I was thinking, "Maybe I could use a razor and cut slits into the sheets, and put the corners of the patches into those slits." Might have worked - but there's something better that kinda already does that same thing. Photo corners.
These are the little cardboard things you use for photo albums when you don't want to tape down and damage the photos. I went with Canson brand photo corners, because they are highly-rated, self-adhesive, and Prime eligible. All it, my total cost for the project was $20.
How did it work out? It was very successful! (Who's the idiot now?!) I was only interested in including the patches I myself designed (or helped to design) because I'm a giant snob. But it was easy enough that I can see filling several of these portfolios with patches over the course of an afternoon. It worked best on the large "uncut" patches. The reason I went with an 11x14 portfolio was because my largest uncut patches were around 10x13.
It also worked very well on the puzzle-type patches that presented the most challenge. There is a black gutter on most (not on the Celebration Europe set - because that one had kind of a unique design that allowed me to mount them on non-overlapping corners). But I actually kinda like the gutter effect.
The only patches it didn't work so great on were the circular ones. There are no corners to grab (imagine that!), so I did my best to grab edges on four sides and hope they don't slip out. I was able to... pull Madine's finger on that patch...
If you have a collection of patches you'd like to organize in such a way that you can share them with your friends, I highly recommend this solution. It's cheap, easy and effective! And if someone else already invented this idea - well I didn't see it so I didn't steal it!

Dress: Leith (Found in store at Nordstrom) similar here | Lace up flat: Topshop | Bag: Manur Gavriel similar here | Sunglasses: Karen Walker | Hat: Janessa Leone
You could say I've had a few hiccups the last 24 weeks of pregnancy, and for most the those 24 weeks I got really down and pulled the "why me" crap I always pull. That was until yesterday. I started reading "For The Love" by Jen Hatmaker and the light bulb just went off. I've known for a few months I needed to get back to writing in my gratitude journal but feeling bad everyday sort of made me not want to do much of anything but lie in bed and watch crap tv. After the last few weeks of once again feeling bad I allowed myself to get really down, but even more I've allowed myself to experience real fear. I know the fear is not real and something I'm creating in my head and even though I know better in my head, I still can't seem to stop the fear from creeping in. I wrote a few things down while journaling yesterday that I went back and read today and really felt compelled to share. From this day forward I'm vowing to myself to no longer allow the fear of this pregnancy to take me over and not allow the things that keep happening to me as a result to get me down. I've decided to use gratitude instead, and maybe just maybe, things will start to look a little differently. Here are just a few of my realizations.
I must change how I have viewed all my pregnancy issues and instead say thank you each and every day for this baby girl. Even though most days haven't been pleasant and quite honestly have been downright scary I know in the end every single pain and moment of fear will be worth it. It's about changing my perception and maybe if I can start to view everything as a blessing instead of a "why me" I'm pretty sure the next few months will find themselves with less fear and whole lot more joy. I have to learn to give up control and allow this pregnancy to be what it will be. I truly believe everything in life happens to teach us a lesson. Maybe I just needed to be hit in the head with a brick to start learning to say thank you more and less of "I wish life was this way or I wish life was that way" which leads me to another few lessons I've had to remind myself of over the last few days.
Life isn't about worldly success. Life is about learning to love unconditionally. Period. End of story. It isn't about how you feel people are treating you, but about loving them in return no matter what. It's about loving people no matter what they may have done to you and in spite of anything they may have done or how they have made you feel. It's not about giving and hoping they will give back in return but simply giving because it comes from your heart and you truly want to give of yourself. No matter if you have felt wronged, you don't get to sit around and hold a grudge. You simply must learn to accept and forgive and keep moving forward. These few things are everything and some of the hardest lessons we must learn in this lifetime. If we can learn to accept things and people for who and what they are then we make life so much easier on ourselves. People are doing the best they know how and so we must learn acceptance and not try and change anyone. If we sat around all day wishing life was different we would miss just how incredible life is at this very moment. The only person we can change is ourselves and if we can change our perception of people and the world and learn to be grateful for all of it I think we will find we are much happier in the end.
I'm taking this one from Alex P. Keaton himself….
"My happiness grow in direct proportion to my acceptance, and in inverse proportion to my expectations." -Michael J. Fox
Have a beautiful weekend!

July 1, 2011 1:53 am PDT
It is the first New Moon of summer, so alot of people will be on vacation retreating near the water, to keep cool from the heat of the Sun. Some of us will be hanging at the beach, swimming in a lake, fishing on a river or meditating by a waterfall. Others will be singing or crying at home in a shower. We all want to be nurtured and loved, even when we deny that need. Cancer is associated with the Mother, Family, Home, Hearth, Cooking, Nurturing, and Compassion. It draws our attention to our origins. Some of us have lost our mothers and seek her in others. Other people need to cut the apron string from an overprotective mother, who tenaciously clings on like a crab, and move on with their own life.
I feel that we are all part of the Great Mother and belong to the World Tree, not only our Family Tree. There have been many occasions when I did not have the arms of a mother to nurture and protect me. Instead, I have found solace in Mother Earth who has held and comforted me, when no one else could or would. She listens without judgment, holding me for as long as I need. She feeds me and nourishes me. She wipes away my tears with a gentle breeze and cleanses me with her tears of rain. She gently cradles me in the water adorned with sunlight sparkling like a thousand diamonds dancing upon the sea.
The Archetypal Great Mother flows through everyone if they are open to the experience. Many people are Care Givers in a variety of ways. Health Spas, Healing Retreats, Alternative Health Care and Hospices, all offering healing touch with aromatic herbs and remedies. Nature is a vital part of the Healing Arts. Those who truly care can have such a miraculous impact in the healing process of others. We all need to nurture and to be nurtured. Just watching the adoration of a baby's eyes for its mother can bring tears to my own. Lovingkindness and Compassion for each other.
During this New Moon cycle the Sun, Moon and Mercury are all in Cancer. So alot of us will be able to sense the thoughts and feelings of others. It is a time to be mindful of other people's space, whether it is their home or their privacy. Home is where the heart is…Om is where the heart is…not everyone is at home in their own body or able to express their true feelings. Our relationships can mirror the type of connection we have with our selves and the parent that nurtured us the most, which could be either a mother or father. If we try to trap the crab it will become defensive and move to a hiding place. We wouldn't build a castle on quicksand so why attempt to construct a relationship without a solid foundation?
Take the time to be near or in the water…it can take you back to a time when your body was floating in the womb of mother. Prepare some nourishing food and reach the beach with friends and loved ones. Allow yourself to feel all of the elements; as you rest upon the sand of the earth, in the cool ocean of water, breathing in the fresh air, beneath the fire of the sun. Become one with all that is and in that awesome moment, allow the power of loving kindness and compassion to flow through you. Again, nurture yourself and nurture others. Take a vacation from the attachment of consenus reality and just be…or just beach.

Collaboration with US State Medical Society and International Accreditors
In the United States, there are 41 state/territory medical societies recognized as accreditors by the ACCME. These Recognized Accreditors oversee nearly 1,200 state-accredited providers, including community hospitals, state specialty societies, and county medical societies.
Each year, accredited intrastate providers offer nearly 37,000 CME activities in communities across the country, drawing nearly four million health care practitioner participants. All CME programs within the ACCME system are held to the same high standards.
Within the ACCME system, all accredited providers meet one set of standards and are accredited using an ACCME-determined process. All the accredited CME generated by a provider within the ACCME system (i.e., ACCME-accredited CME) meets the same requirements and standards. Operationally, within the ACCME system, there is a distribution of responsibility for accreditation between the ACCME and its recognized state and territorial accreditors, based on the target audience of the providers (i.e., the ACCME conducts the accreditation of providers that have a national audience and the state medical societies conduct the accreditation of providers of CME for their state or contiguous states). The accreditor is the only difference between ACCME-accredited providers and state medical society accredited providers. All the accredited CME events/activities presented by these providers are ACCME-accredited CME, and all ACCME-accredited CME is required to meet the same ACCME requirements. The ACCME has processes in place to ensure this identity and has data that verifies this identity. Each CME provider in the ACCME system can be identified by and ACCME Provider Number. All CME providers in the ACCME system are listed on www.accme.org.
The ACCME is also committed to assisting emerging and existing CME accreditation systems in other nations around the world. Toward that end, the ACCME has developed a substantial equivalency recognition process for CME systems outside the US.

|UltraCAD Design, Inc
Sometimes we have too much spare time on our hands! When we drafted this letter and sent it to Pete, he used it in the "Back Page" of the September, 1997, issue of Printed Circuit Design. It received one 'hot' reply from a reader who took exception to our descriptions of how electronic components work, and this reader went on to give us his version of how they really work! We like our descriptions better!
Every designer should participate in the IPC's Designer Council e-mail forum. There are some good discussions that occur there, and it is a potential source for good information. To subscribe, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with no message but the word "subscribe" (no quotes) as the subject.
Topics discussed range from design guidelines to requests for help, to requests for specifications, to occasional job opportunities. Sometimes there are unexpected comments there, however. One person (who shall remain unidentified) commented during a discussion about routing traces near power and ground planes, "I thought a plane was a plane. Are 'going in' electrons different than 'going out' electrons?"
That got me thinking.
Of course "going in" electrons are different from "going out" electrons. They each are very aggressive and rush in and fight each other at every opportunity. You have seen that if you have ever accidentally shorted the positive terminal of a car battery (going out electrons) to the negative terminal (going in electrons.) Any time the two are allowed to mix uncontrollably, sparks tend to fly. That is really apparent if you accidentally short one side of an electrical outlet in you home to the other one (DON'T try this!). The reason there is such a violent reaction is that the electrons there are very confused --- and very angry. The electrons at one side think they are going-out electrons, then the rules get changed and they becoming going in electrons. Then the rules get changed again and they become going out electrons. This happens 60 times each second. You'd be confused and angry, too, if someone kept changing the rules on you 60 times each second!
Most designers have, at some point in their career, accidentally and inadvertently connected a trace between the power and ground plane on the board they were working on. The circuit almost never works when this happens. The reason is the going in and going out electrons all rush to each other and begin fighting each other, and there aren't enough electrons left to run the circuit. The more they fight, the hotter the action gets; often hot enough to start heating up a part of the board.
It is very important to control these critters and not let them fight too aggressively.
Long ago, when we first began to use electricity, it became necessary to design a set of circuit components to keep control of things. That's why Mr. Ohm, Farad, and Henry, respectively, created the resistor, capacitor, and inductor. A resistor controls the flow of the electrons so that not too many of them can mix at any one time. It does this by opening a sort of gate for a fraction of a second. The time is inversely related to the value of the resistor. For example, a 10 ohm resistor has a gate that opens for just one-tenth of a second; a 100 ohm resistor opens for a hundredth of a second, and so on. A half-ohm resistor opens for a full second, but the gate is twice as large. A zero ohm resistor is not possible. You can verify this by punching one divided by zero into your calculator or spreadsheet and see what happens.
A capacitor is formed by taking two, fairly large conducting sheets and separating them by a VERY thin insulating sheet. The insulating sheet prevents the electrons from mixing, but not from seeing each other. The going in and going out electrons rush in on the opposite conducting sheets and face off across the insulator. The result is not unlike two dogs facing off on opposite sides of a glass patio door.
The electrons are really excited when they can see the other electrons on the other side of the insulator, and so when a circuit has a need for some electrons, they are really ready to go. That's why capacitors work so well in bypass situations; they deliver highly excited and charged electrons to a circuit really quickly.
The inductor was originally created to tease electrons. The original inductor was a tightly wound coil. When electrons went through the coil they got dizzy and had a tendency to keep going even after they passed through the coil. The effect is similar to what happens when you close your eyes and turn around in a circle several times. It turns out electrons really like inductors. When the see an inductance they scream and yell almost like people do when they get on a roller coaster. In fact, that's what is measured during FCC compliance testing --- the noise created by excited electrons when the see an inductance.
You are probably aware that the Coriolis force is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis force works on electrons just like it works on everything else. That's why it is good practice to wind inductive coils in a clockwise manner in the Northern Hemisphere and a counter clockwise manner in the Southern Hemisphere. Inductors not wound this way will still work, but efficiencies are improved if this rule is followed.
So there you have it. Going in and going out electrons are certainly different and many people have worked very hard through the years devising ways to control them.

Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan — The military helicopter that crashed killing 30 U.S. service members Saturday went down as it was arriving to reinforce beleaguered fellow troops engaged in fierce fighting, according to new details released by Western military officials.
The twin-rotor Chinook helicopter, carrying members of the elite commando SEALs as well as seven Afghan commandos and other U.S. troops, was downed as it arrived at the scene of a battle with insurgents after another force called for help, the NATO mission in Afghanistan said in a statement Monday. That second force has been identified by military sources as U.S. Army Rangers, who work closely with the SEALs.
Some Western and Afghan officials originally said the chopper went down while lifting off after an engagement with insurgents in a restive district of Wardak province. A precise chronology of the raid that resulted in the largest loss of military lives in the course of the 10-year Afghan conflict has been slow to coalesce, in part because of the intense operational secrecy associated with the elite units involved.
Monday's NATO statement was the first detailed public accounting of the incident, describing an operation that "began as a security search for a Taliban leader responsible for insurgent operations in the nearby Tangi Valley." The area, a gateway to the capital, Kabul, has been overrun by Taliban and other insurgent groups in recent months.
