Amber Larson, Crystal Quintero, Wisdom Quarterly; (latimes.com, 1-29-15)
|An extremely rare and "extremely cute" Sierra Nevada red fox, which has nearly gone extinct with only 50 left in the U.S., has been spotted in the park (Yosemite National Park).
Red fox sighted in Yosemite
Motion-sensitive cameras captured the red fox -- one of 14 mammals protected by California -- on Dec. 13 and Jan. 4. Park officials are still trying to determine whether the cameras caught the same fox or a second one. "The chance of running into them is very unusual," Cobb added.
The last time a red fox was seen at Yosemite was in 1915, she said.
The shy creatures avoid human interactions. They burrow in soil and logs at 6,000 feet elevation, according to the park's website. Little is known about the creature because sightings are so rare. Photographs of the Sierra Nevada red fox were taken in 1990 during a wolverine study at the Lassen National Forest.

Coming Together in the Venn Diagram
The Health Care Council of the Lehigh Valley has taken an excellent approach to Community Health. Their recently released "The Road to Health" evaluates the health of the Lehigh Valley community. If you haven't read through it yet, definitely read through it now.
This new report gives an excellent overview of the state of health in the Lehigh Valley, something Renew Lehigh Valley and the Lehigh Valley Research Consortium touched upon at the State of the Lehigh Valley luncheon in February 2012. But this report follows up on the call to action issued at the end of our luncheon; it shows where we are and where we have to go in order to be healthy.
A healthy community is a sustainable community. And it's one reason why I wanted to highlight the Health Care Council's work. When organizations like Renew Lehigh Valley and outreach efforts like Envision Lehigh Valley seek to plan for the future in a smarter and more efficient way, we often get into our silos. Yet, why can't we see the larger picture? Envision Lehigh Valley may be one effort to plan for a sustainable future for the Lehigh Valley to ensure a high quality of life, but "The Road to Health" is doing the same thing just in a different arena. We all are working for the same goal.
It's like a Venn Diagram. One outreach effort in the Valley is focused on land use and economic development, another is focused on community health, and yet another is focused on education and the connection to the neighborhoods. They all have the same goal, and that center area where all the circles overlap is where we must focus our efforts. If we are to make the Lehigh Valley a sustainable community, we must all work together and support our various efforts.
So, I encourage you to join us at one of the Health Care Council's two health forums being held in our area. All those efforts in the Venn Diagram are seeking public input, as they should in order to truly have community support. So come out Wednesday, November 28th to the Fowler Family Center at Northampton Community College (511 E. 3rd St, Bethlehem) from 7-9pm OR join them Thursday, November 29th at the Salvation Army (144 N. 8th St, Allentown) from 7-9pm.
We're all seeking to ensure a high quality, sustainable life in the Lehigh Valley. Let's all work together to see the bigger picture, rather than individual puzzle pieces.

Father Mychal Judge was a little-known Franciscan friar ministering humbly to the disenfranchised and unloved on the streets of New York City… until September 11, 2001, when he suddenly became a global figure.
As chaplain to the city's Fire Department, he rushed to help the first responders at the World Trade Center but was killed by falling masonry in the North Tower. This picture of his body being carried out of the debris became an icon of the atrocity.
North West writer and BBC journalist Michael Ford wrote the first biography of Mychal Judge after his death, which became an overnight bestseller. Michael Ford explored the outer and inner life of the 'Saint of 9.11.', his extraordinary ministry among the homeless, immigrants, gay people and AIDS patients, and the struggles of a charismatic but deeply wounded man wrestling with guilt, alcohol addiction and his gay sexuality.
Learn how his story inspired so many throughout the world, through
- unique footage of 9.11
- letters he wrote
- photos from his album.
Signed copies of Michael Ford's biography, Father Mychal Judge: An Authentic American Hero will be for sale.
Doors open 5.30pm for refreshments - lecture from 6pm followed by Q&A until 7.30pm. FREE event - no booking required. Parking available in church grounds.

I would like a logo to go on top of White Botany. Unique simple logo using the shape of the cactus, succulent or orchid like the examples provided. (Something like the Kate Spade style also in the images attached). Minimalist logo that can be a mix of subtle and obvious as long as it isn't many colors just one or two.

In honour of the fact that Halloween is right around the corner, Rick and I decided to do something a little different and chose a game without a co-op feature. This week's Indie Game Date is Spooky's House of Jump Scares, a procedurally generated first person horror game that straddles the line between kawaii and terrifying. Also, it's free!
Listen to use take turns screaming, laughing, and trying not to poop ourselves for 150 out of 1000 rooms.
*Note regarding the video: For some reason the capture software we use didn't frame the video correctly. We've never had this problem before and I tried multiple times to try to fix it to no avail. We should have it worked out by the next Indie Game Date.

The Best Triathlon Cycle Tires
Triathlons incorporate three sports—swimming, biking and running—for strength, endurance and stamina competition. Triathlons require specialized gear for each individual sport, and elite triathletes put extra attention on tires. The triathlon cycle tires can improve time on the bike, which can shave seconds off from the entire triathlon.
Continental Attack/Force
The Continental Attack and Force is a combination tire set designed for optimal performance. The Attack is the front tire and measures 22 mm and weighs 190 g. It consists of a stickier rubber than the rear tire and has less tread. The rear tire—called the Force—is 1 mm wider than the Attack. This set of tires is lightweight and designed to roll easily for fast riding, making them an ideal choice for a triathlon cycle tire.
Michelin Pro Race 2
The Pro Race 2 from Michelin is an all-around tire that is a popular choice among triathletes. Michelin is a leading company in the tire industry, and the Pro Race 2 is its best choice for road bike tire. This tire is built with ultra-lightweight materials that provide a balance of grip, rolling resistance and performance. With durability and toughness, this tire has a long tread life and is resistant to punctures in varying road and weather conditions.
Hutchinson Fusion 2
Weighing in at only 220 g, the Hutchinson Fusion 2 road tire is an all-around professional level tire that delivers grip and performance. The tire is made with a 127 TPI casing that resists punctures and flat tires, and the triple compound tread provides grip, performance and a low rolling resistance. Every tire from Hutchinson is pre-stretched during the manufacturing process that allows for easier mounting of the tires.
Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX
The Vittoria Open Corsa EVO CX tire is a well-constructed tire that maximizes road performance. Every detail in the tire is optimized for grip, performance and rolling resistance. For example, the casing of the cord and rubber compounds is made from Polycotton and Kevlar threads that act independently from one another. This reduces the amount of rolling resistance that will improve the resistance to punctures. The tread pattern—classic herringbone—combines grip and rolling resistance for performance on the corners and on the open road.

Florida Workers' Comp Report: Insurers Unfairly Target Physicians
The Florida Medical Association, silent rather than actively supportive of dispensing physicians in the workers' comp fight last year, may be poised to take a more proactive role in the issue during the 2013 legislative session.
A new report from the state Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) points to continued interference by insurance carriers into the doctor-patient relationship.
"For the last several years, insurance carriers have engaged in what appears to be an anti-competitive scheme of intimidation against dispensing physicians -- physicians who are simply trying to treat their patients effectively and efficiently," said Jeffery M. Scott, general counsel of the Florida Medical Association.
Other pertinent results from the DWC report, according to the FMA:
* The National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI) and insurance carriers continue to make bogus claims, based on the NCCIs inaccurate math, that physician dispensing is a major cost driver in increasing workers compensation rates.
* There is virtually no difference in the cost of a repackaged prescription whether it is dispensed by a pharmacy or a dispensing physician.
* Other cost drivers are responsible for high workers compensation costs. If these other cost drivers were addressed, rates could be reduced by 7.5 percent to 8.3 percent. Had the NCCI and carriers pursued legislation for these other cost drivers, the NCCIs rate increases over the past three years would have been largely negated or eliminated, and rate decreases potentially could have occurred.
* Carriers frequently, and improperly, underpay physicians who have valid claims for reimbursement. Based on the report, in 92 percent of cases that reach a determination, the carrier was found to have underpaid and the health care provider won.
If we want to increase patients access to health care in Florida, we need policies that help our physicians provide that care in a free-market system -- not make it harder with price-fixing schemes that hurt physicians and their patients," said Scott.
Comments are now closed.

Express Leather Top\ ASOS Ring\ Express Clutch\ Guess Heels\ VS Button Down Dress\ ASOS Belt (similar here)
No, my fashionable and very observant style mavens, you are not seeing double. I am in fact wearing two pieces that have already made their debut on The Chic Street before now. However, while searching for an ensemble to accompany me on a night out for drinks, I came across this leather top and realized that it has only left my closet once since it was purchased last winter. I am sure I am not the only maven who has worn a piece once and then tucked it in the back of my closet, only to rediscover it much later. So, instead of allowing this piece of leather to be sucked in that black hole of no return, I decided to layer it with a dress instead.

I thought I would share this post with some print offs from HP to keep the children amused this summer. I particularly like the holiday journal one.
Keeping the Kids Entertained this Summer
Help is at Hand from HP
It's the age-old challenge for parents up and down the country – how to keep the kids entertained over the long summer break. HP has lots of ideas on how parents can connect with their children through their mobile entertainment devices and fun printing activities.

A Glamorous, Watercolor Backyard Wedding in Bowie, Maryland
Kelly Pollack (24 and a wedding photographer) and Zachary (Zach) Haynes (24 and a financial representative) outfitted their playful wedding with glitzy gold décor and a blend of hot pink, light blue and mint green. "We just wanted our wedding to feel fun and colorful!" Kelly says. Originally, the pair was set on a destination wedding but realized an at-home affair in Kelly's parents' backyard (and on their anniversary) was the perfect plan. The day was filled with personal touches, like the white church window frames built by kelly's dad, a custom crest and a "Just Meowied" cake topper with two ceramic cats to honor their own, Macro and Pixel.

In the final 4 years, Google inventory has gone from about $300 per share to over $1,200 per share (before the break up). Those are so lovely – I am afraid I might make them from monopoly money so no person would have to undo them, ever. This also means placing your money in different investment automobiles resembling real property, bonds, CDs, or precious metals. I barely ever touch actual money anymore-my debit and credit cards take care of all of that for me. I had no idea that I would have points trying to get my palms on the bodily currency that my bank abstractly promised me. I like your money rose however I do not suppose it might work with Canadian money, the new payments anyway.
The CFPB researched the best way youngsters develop the skills and attributes that contribute to their monetary nicely-being in adulthood With help from the Corporation for Enterprise Development and researchers from University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of Maryland, Baltimore County, we developed a framework that connects Money as You Grow activities to youngsters's monetary developmental levels.
The classical method, wherein one tries to find the primary machine (comparable to a card) that services because the fee instrument and then builds the additional classification of a system round that instrument, will not work. With that framework in mind, now we have up to date and tailored the Money as You Grow actions and content material.
In cellular, these have included thousand-fold will increase in data rates over little greater than a decade, a lot reduced latencies, higher network availability, excessive-definition voice, plunging prices per gigabyte for operators and users, and so on.
A few of the ideas in the e-mail included hair care, such as gift certificates for hair cuts; automobile care comparable to reward certificates for oil adjustments, tune-ups, car washes and more; present certificates for eating places so the household can take pleasure in going out to eat (embody tip money could be nice too).

The Banksy Sweeping It Under The Carpet stencil graffiti street art, upon which this Sweeping It Under The Carpet t-shirt is based, was created in Chalk Farm, Camden, London.
The highly political Banksy piece was commissioned by British newspaper The Independent, when U2's Bono was the Editor, and was said to be representative of The West's reluctance to address third-world issues such as that of AIDS in Africa.
Banksy himself was quoted by The Independent in May 2006, speaking about this particular piece, stating that it was also about the democratisation of subjects in works of art. He said, "In the bad old days, it was only popes and princes who had the money to pay for their portraits to be painted. This is a portrait of a maid called Leanne who cleaned my room in a Los Angeles motel. She was quite a feisty lady."
The artwork is printed at the bottom of our Premium Women's T-shirt!

MISUSED STATS In his new book The Sum of Our Discontent (Texere), David Boyle suggests that our demand for precision often leads to misleading or silly numbers. For example:

$245 billion How much world imports exceed world exports. (Calculated by adding every nation's stats together. But barring extraplanetary trade, the difference should be zero.)

Invasive Species Removal – Volunteers Wanted
The City Stream Watch program is looking for volunteers to help remove dog-strangling vine from the shorelines of Green's Creek and Sawmill Creek. Dog-strangling vine (also called pale swallowwort) is an extremely aggressive plant that is rapidly spreading, eliminating native plants and changing the shoreline ecosystem.
This volunteer opportunity not only provides hands-on removal of the invasive vine, but also provides an excellent opportunity to learn about different invasive species and their effects on our local environment.
All necessary equipment is provided; however we suggest volunteers bring drinking water, snacks, sunscreen and a hat. There is no cost. An on-site lunch is provided thanks to the generosity of the Monterey Inn Resort and Conference Centre. If you would like a sandwich, please be sure to register by email a week in advance before the event. Register by emailing your name and which location you prefer to email@example.com. Once registration is complete, a meeting location will be sent out to all participants.

Try out this magical whirling dance!
Sufi dance can be described as a physically active form of meditation. It has its origins in Sufism – a branch of Islam. In the religious form, the goal is to reach out to God, and to the surrounding world. More worldly forms of the dance have evolved over time.

New version 5.07 was released today.
You can download it from Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... handwallet
We also have a new web site, please help us by visiting and pressing the "like / share" button:
What's new?
1. Improvements in dealing with files and pictures in the app:
- It is now possible to store files / backups on any location on SD and not just specific folders (relevant for Android 5.0 and above).
- Devices with android 5 and above can now attach images and files to Actions directly from Google Drive.
2. Quick filter added: In the 'Actions' screen you can click an action and see similar actions (same category, account etc).
3. Improvements with Dropbox sync. You can now keep the images and files in Dropbox and download them only when needed (for example when you edit an old Action). This is useful especially if several members of the family or company use the app and share the same data.
4. Improvements in Backups: you can now backup automatically when exiting the app. Also we fixed the Dropbox automatic upload on exit.
5. You can now hide the balance in the "Accounts" screen (Good for people that are afraid to see the balance ). You can also hide the "V" in the "Account statement" if you do not use them (Options/fields).
6. Improvements in voice recognition. Also more languages added.
7. We upgraded the developing environment and fixed some minor bugs (titles in the export of "Account Statement", some "share" problems etc).

Urban Meyer-Jim Harbaugh II could be the start of the next Ten Year Rivalry
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh was asked Monday what people in Ohio should think of him, since, thanks to his personality quirks, some view him as crazy and some just crazy like a fox.
"Not crazy," Harbaugh said, which in itself was a little crazy.
In Columbus, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer continued his longstanding tradition of never saying the word "Michigan" while barring entrance to the Buckeye football facility to anyone dumb enough to wear an article of clothing with the color blue on it.
He'd consider that not crazy also.
So too, presumably, would Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler, the legends of Ohio State and Michigan, respectively, who during the so-called "Ten Year War" (1969-1979) coached against each other and built up a rivalry that remains as heated as ever.
The second-ranked Wolverines and the third-ranked Buckeyes meet Saturday in Ohio State – noon kickoff, as always.
It's the first time since 2006 that the game has national championship implications for both teams. This isn't about one team trying to play spoiler or a new coach arriving or a lame duck about to leave. The battle lines and participants are set, the first of many to come with Harbaugh perched here and Meyer dug in down in Columbus, each with a powerhouse in progress.
There is a long tradition of great coaches on both sides of this series – Jim Tressel and Lloyd Carr each won national titles, after all. They were more senatorial or professorial though. No one has ever quite channeled the unhinged competitiveness of Hayes and Schembechler the way Meyer and Harbaugh do. No other coach ever pushed quite like these guys. You never had to wonder if, say, Brady Hoke was crazy.
This, here and now, is a battle between two pure-breed alpha dogs, each an accomplished winner, each in his prime, each barreling forward with everything they have.
This is just their second match-up (the Buckeyes won handily in Ann Arbor last year, but that was considered a rebuilding Wolverine team). They battle regularly in recruiting, however, even trying to raid each other's states for talent. It's unlikely a day goes by where they don't think of each other.
What's it like competing against Urban Meyer, Harbaugh was asked Monday.
"Unique, in that it's at the highest level," he said. "In terms of competition on the field or recruiting, Urban is at the highest level. The competition is at the highest level."
The idea that this could be the start of another Ten Year War, that these games will go down in history as particularly significant in a rivalry that is always significant, is not lost on anyone, even the participants.
"Second coming of two legends," Wolverine offensive lineman Erik Magnuson said. "It's cool."
"The two coaches you have going against each other are two of the greatest in college football," Michigan linebacker Mike McCray said. "Once we get older [we'll] look back and [see] that we were part of history."
Like Meyer and Harbaugh, no one was ever quite certain what Hayes and Schembechler would do next. Hayes was a true character, the kind of guy who, in 1970, decided to start walking to work to help America decrease its dependence on foreign oil. It was three miles each way. He even did it in the winter. Schembechler was ferociously driven, holding to bedrock truisms of life, such as, "Early is on time and on time is late."
The rivalry, back when the rest of the Big Ten offered few obstacles, became all-encompassing.
One time Hayes and assistant coach Edward Ferkany were on a recruiting trip in metro Detroit, scheduled to drive back to Columbus that night. Still in Michigan, the gas tank grew low and Ferkany tried to pull off Interstate 75 to refuel.
"Coach, we gotta stop," Ferkany pleaded according to Michael Rosenberg's book, "War as They Knew It."
Hayes would have none of it, claiming they'd push the vehicle if need be.
"Keep the [expletive] car going," Hayes barked back. "We're not stopping in this goddamn state and paying taxes."
They somehow made it to Toledo and filled up on proper petroleum.
That was Hayes, though. He dubbed Michigan "that school up North," which Meyer has co-opted as an abbreviation, TSUN. In 1968 (pre-Schembechler), when leading Michigan 44-14, Hayes decided to go for two. When asked why, he declared, "Because I couldn't go for three."
For his part, Schembechler was asked, in 2004, at age 75, if he knew anything about "The Dead Schembechlers," a Columbus-based, anti-Wolverine rock band that dressed in matching Woody Hayes outfits, declared a University of Michigan diploma as "worthless as confederate money" and believed Tressel's sweater vest held mystical powers.
Schembechler enjoyed the slightest of advantages in the 10-year battle with Hayes, posting a 5-4-1 record. Upon learning of the band and their songs – who can forget the "hit" tune "Schembechler Kicked My Crippled Dog?" – he proudly declared to John Niyo of the Detroit News: "I still matter in Columbus!"
This is part of why Meyer and Harbaugh feel like the perfect foils, the perfect fits. Neither is the most well-adjusted individual out there, both slightly (or more) awkward socially. It's easy to envision someone starting a band where everyone dressed in Harbaugh's khaki-based ensemble.
Harbaugh played for Schembechler at Michigan and in 1986 even guaranteed victory over Ohio State (the Wolverines won 26-24). Schembechler loved Harbaugh, but declared him his cockiest quarterback ever. Meyer was a defensive back at Cincinnati, but always eyed the chance to coach in Columbus and nearly worked himself to death before getting there.
Neither has anything to prove professionally. Meyer has won three national titles, including two at Florida. Harbaugh rebuilt the Stanford program and then took San Francisco to the Super Bowl before returning to Ann Arbor. Neither can imagine being satisfied for a second, though. They feed on the challenge.
The two were coincidentally born in the same Toledo hospital, less than a year apart. "We've talked about it, being born in the same hospital," Harbaugh said. "What a small world, as they say … I've always taken great pride in Toledo …"
As he riffed, Harbaugh broke into a brief one-man play, re-enacting an apparent common conversation.
"Where were you born?" Harbaugh said, imitating a questioner before playing himself.
"I was born in Toledo, Ohio."
So it went on Monday, Harbaugh giving oddball and at times hysterical answers if only to get through his media responsibilities and onto preparation for the game, which is all that matters and all he wants to do anyway.
That's the only way guys such as Meyer and Harbaugh can operate. Whatever doubt, whatever fear they possess will be washed away by work and more work and the thrill of the battle, the chance to walk in the shoes and along the sidelines of Woody and Bo and everything else.
"Healthy, fair and honest competition," Harbaugh called it.
It should be start of something big, like historically big.

Feast of Consecration of St. John Lateran Jn 2/13-22
St. John Laterans is the Cathedral church of all the world, the Popes home church. Not the Vatican. Though the latter is where the Pope lives these days and where most of the big ceremonies are there, for most of Catholic history the Pope lived in the Lateran Palace the conclaves took place there. The Cardinals (then really the parish priests of Rome) would choose one of themselves to be the next bishop and would bring him out on the balcony to get the seal of approval (or disapproval) from the lay people of Rome. Today we celebrate the main parish church of Christianity and our own parish churches.
read the padre
One upon a time there was this lovely old parish church which the people downtown decided to close it and tear it down. It would cost more money to insure the church and maintain it then it brought in from its collections. Tough decision, but necessary. The neighborhood was almost abandoned and few people came to the Church for Mass. Downtown had closed the school several years ago. Many of the people who had grown up in the parish and had raised their children their were furious. Why tear down such a lovely place. So they had a meeting. One of the men at the meeting brought along a map showing the rapid transit and bus routes through the neighborhood and the projected population movements. In ten years, maybe five, he said. Theyll wish they had this church and school. So they established a foundation and put enough money into it to insure and maintain the church and the school for five years. Downtown still wanted to tear it down, but they didnt dare.

Planned gifts give you the freedom to support causes you believe in, often in ways you may not be able to accomplish during your lifetime. It is a way to make clear your intentions and to maximize potential tax benefits.
Upon receiving the planned gift, the Yukon College Foundation will issue a donation receipt, which may result in significant tax savings for your estate in the year of death and possibly the following year as well.
If you are considering a legacy donation to the Yukon College Foundation, we encourage you to consult your own financial and legal advisors to ensure your gift is tailored to your personal circumstances.
Planned gifts can be made in the following ways:
A bequest – the most common type of future gift – is a commitment made through your will to be distributed from your estate upon your death. A bequest may be a specific sum of money, asset or piece of property, or a portion or percentage of your estate. Gifts can be given outright, or dependent on certain conditions. Sample language for including Yukon College is available for download (here). These are samples only, and we strongly encourage you to consult your own legal advisors to ensure the clauses are tailored to your needs.
We recognize that bequests are a personal matter, but please let us know if you have named the Yukon College Foundation in your will and we will work with you to ensure your bequest will achieve your intentions. Thank you for your generosity!
New and existing life insurance policies can be gifted to Yukon College, reducing the taxes owed on your final return. By naming Yukon College as the owner and beneficiary in your lifetime, the annual premiums you pay are also tax deductible.
You can donate unused portions of your RRSPs or RRIFs and receive a charitable donation receipt for the full amount of the RRSP or RRIF, offsetting taxes owed.
You can create a charitable gift annuity and you will receive guaranteed annuity payments throughout your lifetime. The portion of the gift not required for purchase of the annuity is retained by the College and gives you an immediate tax benefit.
You can establish a charitable remainder trust than retains income interest for your life and/or your beneficiaries, giving you an immediate tax benefit. When the trust is terminated, the remaining assets become your gift to Yukon College.
You can transfer the residual interest in your residence and retain the right to use the property for life, giving you an immediate tax benefit.
Contact usShould you have any questions about Yukon College and the gift avenues outlined above, please contact us
Tax law and estate planning are complex, please talk to your financial or legal advisor about the tax benefits, thresholds and appropriateness of these choices for you.

To greatly boost the accuracy of Japan's GPS system, an H-2A rocket carrying a navigation satellite successfully lifted off from the Tanegashima Space Center here on June 1. The H-2A No. 34 blasted off at 9:17 a.m. and about 28 minutes later, its payload successfully separated from the launch vehicle.
The satellite will enter an orbit at an altitude of approximately 36,000 kilometers in two weeks.
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite Michibiki No. 2 is expected to enhance the accuracy and reception of the existing global positioning system for Japan. It will transmit a signal to supplement the current U.S. GPS from almost directly above the Japanese archipelago.
The system is less susceptible to being blocked by buildings, mountains and other obstacles. When used with the GPS, the margin of error is estimated to be within a few centimeters.
The last rocket launch in the Michibiki series was held in September 2010, for the No. 1, which can remain over Japan for about only eight hours a day.
To improve on this limitation, the Japanese government is planning to create its own GPS system, which could provide better positioning readings with a higher degree of accuracy.
Japan plans to put another two Michibiki satellites in orbit by the end of 2017, for a total of four. These could combine to have a GPS system operating on a daily 24-hour basis from fiscal 2018.
The Cabinet Office estimated that the total cost of development and launch of the Michibiki No. 2, 3 and 4 would be 89.9 billion yen ($810 million).
To develop and operate the ground control system, the cost is estimated at 118.8 billion yen.
The June 1 liftoff marked the 28th successful launch in the H-2A series. The success rate of the launch vehicle is 97.1 percent.

How To Repair Cracked Grout
Here is a little guide I made on repairing SMALL areas of cracked grout…
Sanded Caulking: a type of caulking (caulking is a rubbery sealant used to seal all the corners and joints in a shower) which has sand added to match the appearance of sanded grout (the grout usually used on tile floors).
This is especially useful when the grout cracked as a result of slight movement or a settling crack when the grout is likely to crack again.
This is not a good solution for large areas but it is a helpful trick around door thresholds and also if you have a very small hole to fill after you do a cleaning job.
The area in question:
Close up:
Sanded caulking and sponge being used:
Available at Lowes and Home Depot:
After sanded caulking:

If you have ever, ever professed to love hip-hop, here are two things you need to do/plan to do, immediately, if you haven't completed at least step one:
1) Get Big Boi's new solo album, Sir Luscious Left Foot ... the Son Of Chico Dusty.
If you haven't listened yet, well, what the hell have you waiting for? A loopy chunk of Southern funk, on the disc Big Boi's often-overlooked, rapid-fire but smooth rapping skills are firing at full cylinders. Sure, there are big-name collabos -- one particular Crossfade favorite, an album standout, is "Shine Blockas," which features Gucci Mane. But the star here is Big Boi himself, and the album, as a complete package, follows a complete musical and lyrical arc so satisfying, it'll make you love Island Def Jam for jumping on this solo release after his original label, Jive, let it gather dust on a shelf.
2) Show up to Sobe Live this Wednesday, August 8, by 8:30 p.m. for a free concert by Big Boi himself.
Yeah, it's free, no catch -- so get there early. The first 300 to 500 fans in line will get in with a ticket. The event is sponsored by HP and MySpace, as part of HP's campaign to improve sound quality on PCs.

In other words, the company is pushing its new HP laptops with integrated Beats Audio, quality soundcards and speakers approved by Dr. Dre himself and legendary industry honcho Jimmy Iovine.
If you can't get in, or can't make it at all, the show will stream live on MySpace, at myspace.com/hp. Otherwise, be 21 or older and get to SoBe Live, at 1203 Washington Avenue on South Beach. If you need to call the club, the number is 305-725-3353.

Hi everyone!
It is crazy to think that I have been engaged for 6 months now and my wedding is a year and a half away… or as I like to think of it, 18 months away!
The moment after I got engaged I thought to myself… now I have to plan a wedding?!
Getting engaged is exciting but I was soon overwhelmed and had so many questions and thoughts started to fill my mind.
Everyone around me started to ask questions about things I haven't even thought about or even wanted to think about yet. It was a lot and it all came at once. I soon realized that as much as I wanted to enjoy the moment, there were some things that needed to be decided and booked sooner rather than later.
With all that being said, I thought I'd share some of the things that I have realized/gone through already during the last 6 months.
Resize and Insure your Engagement Ring
The last thing I wanted to do and I am sure any new bride-to-be wants to do, is to send her new ring off to get resized and/or to get insured. However, the last thing you want is for your ring to fall off your finger because it is too loose. Nothing will replace the sentimental value of your ring, but you should be prepared and just incase something does happen to your precious rock, it should be insured so at least you can get your (or his) money back!
Plan an Engagement Party
This is totally up to you if you'd like to celebrate your engagement – it can either be a big celebration or just a small get together with your closest family and friends. There are so many different ways you can celebrate your engagement and it is just a nice way to share your news with loved ones and of course, another excuse to flaunt your ring!
Set a Date, Even If It's Not the Date
Once all the "Congratulations" subside for a bit, the first thing your family and friends will probably ask is "When is the wedding?" I would suggest coming up with an estimated answer such as "next summer" or "early 2018" etc. I'm sure your family and friends will appreciate feeling like they are in the loop and this may also help you when looking at venues.
Let's Talk Numbers
This could be a difficult thing to do, but it is important to decide and figure out how much everyone is contributing and what you and your partner can contribute yourselves. It's better to figure out the budget as soon as possible as this number will affect all wedding decisions and purchases. It is so important to work out a budget before you starting planning/looking!
Wedding Style
Before you try on dresses, look at flowers, or sample cakes, look at the big picture and decide what kind of atmosphere you want for your big day. Are you dreaming of a classic, romantic, vintage, rustic, modern or all-out glam wedding? Do you want your celebration to be formal, casual or somewhere in between? To help you get a better idea of what type of wedding you want, spend some time gathering inspiration! Check out wedding blogs, wedding magazines, Instagram pages, Pinterest, etc!
Pick a Location
This could be one of the most difficult things to do as lots of venues fill up quickly and you may need to book quite in advance to get the date you prefer. There are many questions you should ask yourself, do you want to get married in your hometown or away (destination wedding)? Outdoors or indoors? Big or intimate? Once you make some decisions, then you can get down to specifics and start looking at different locations and venues.
Set the Guest List and Book a Venue
When building your guest list, it is important to consider how many guests your venue can accommodate. You don't want a soiree that looks half empty, but at the same time you want to leave enough space for your guests to move around comfortably throughout the evening. Also remember, the more guests means higher prices, more guests means more tables and more tables means more centrepieces, flowers, linens, favours, etc. When you know more or less how many people you will be inviting, reserve your venue!
Choose Your Wedding Party
Your wedding party should be made up of people who play an important role in your life, the people you'd like to be by your side on your big day and those who you want to remain in your life forever. Your wedding party can be as big or as small as you'd like, it's all up to you! When or how you ask your wedding party also depends on the date of your wedding and what you are most comfortable doing – at the end of the day, there is no right or wrong way to choose/ask your wedding party! Be confident with your choices and have fun with it!
Thank you again to everyone for all the congratulations, love and support!
Being engaged can be an exciting time but it can also be very stressful… take your time, have fun with it and enjoy the moment!

"This is the most shameful thing America has ever done!"
Hearing this, black comedians, Dave Chappell and Chris Rock, looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Aired after the presidential election, Saturday Night Live featured a skit that took place on election night. Gathered for what had been expected as a victory celebration, white comedians playing the part of progressives were shocked and utterly devastated as the evening progressed. How could such an outcome be even possible?
Yet in contrast, the "business as usual" reaction on the part of the black comedians spoke volumes.
Recently I've been listening to an audio CD[1] that recounts the terrible choices architects of the American Civil Right's Movement faced. Drawing from the prophetic Biblical tradition, along with insights gained from Mahatma Gandhi and Reinhold Niebuhr, the path facing them could not rest merely on the goodwill and best of intentions of others. Instead, two distinct and divergent paths were dominant during the Civil Rights movement; two trajectories that still echo today.
As now, the first approach emphasized that through education, civility training, better opportunities and discussion; people's "better angels" would in time emerge. The desire to do the right and just thing would prevail. Ultimately, innate human goodness would overcome the guile of human sinfulness.
Yet the path that the architects of the Civil Right's movement chose, meant renouncing the first approach as idolatrous, however well intended its adherents were. The banality of evil that perpetuates injustice, intolerance, corruption and the stain of racism on American consciousness exist in part because mere optimism and expressions of goodwill are wantonly deceptive. They disturb and disrupt nothing.
Yet in contrast, while the Biblical lens does not provide a guarantee of happiness for those who seek to follow Christ, it does unfailingly assure us that bearing for Love's sake is redemptive. Bearing for Love's sake in non-violent protest, responding to hatred without malice while unmasking the treachery of others through relentless love is to stand in solidarity with all of God's children. But bearing for Love's sake also requires vigilance, given the formidable temptation of that first path.
But that second path, the one that asks us to pick up and carry the cross of Jesus…
is to move beyond good intentions…
and testify to the One whose light has come into the world.

text: ashley76 0 Posted June 7, 2008 I have had acne since 11. I am 32. I run a business, am a mother and a wife and STILL feel stuck in the same old world of acne. I am SO sick of it. I try for months, sometimes years not to let it get me down but it always catches up to me. I have been convincing and hoping for over 15 years now that I would grow out of it. I am going to important work meetings and worried about which way I will sit because of whatever new bump is on my face. I won't go to a birthday party with my son tomorrow because I just can't take being out with all of our friends right now and meeting new people and what not. I don't usually avoid things because of my acne but I'm just really extra sick of it right now. So, things I have tried... it's been so long i hardly remember all of them and am sure i am forgetting but I have tried: -accutane, differen gel, benzomycin, birth control pills etc.. etc.. some worked, none worked well, all had other side effects that i eventually couldn't take. -dan's regimen (BP did weird things overtime to my skin and left me with wrinkles which are now almost gone) -glocilic cleanser followed by tea tree oil and witch hazel, aveno mosterizer. this was most recent, last 6 months...and coupled with my period and 2 12-hour flights with my toddler has left me looking horrible. -so, so, so many more dead ends that i can't remember.. it has been over 20 years! So, I am starting a new holistic regimen. Said I will give it a month but I am a little confused about a few things. I got fish oil vitamins and vitamin e. I understand I should also buy vitamin c, a, zinc, and b complex. Can I get one vitamin for all of this or do i need to take ALL of these? I already ate fairly healthy but plenty of dairy. I almost don't know how to eat without dairy products. Love them. BUT I'm trying to just gradually start cutting them out. I stopped my morning coffee that always has milk or cream and switched to green tea. I will try to cut down on yogurt, butter, and cheese. But I'm going to have to eat cheese once in a while as a treat. is that ok? I mean I looove cheese more than anything. Is honey any better than sugar? Or just as bad? This is what i'm going to try: Morning Wash with water only apply bare minnerals skin-rever upper bare minerals make-up, very light night wash with cytaphil (original formula) (NEED BETTER SUGGESTION_something EXTREMELY GENTLE but that still cleans) tone with dr. hauschka clarifying toner apply burt's bees tea tree oil blemish stick to any big spots everyday vitamin e fish oil capsules lots of water 3 cups of green tea limit dairy and meats (still have some) WHAT ELSE? SO all you natural success stories.... what do you think? I will try to get courage to post pictures soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh baby
Jane has that too.
Not sure what I'll do when she outgrows it. With each of my babies I used to watch them while they slept, little mouths working away at a dream snack, contentment and peace in a bundle. Now the lamb fills that spot, next prolly a purse dog.
Don't tell my husband.

If the DFES emergency response guide template asks for a password, click on "X" (close document) twice or press the Esc key to open document.
When is a DFES emergency response guide (FES-ERG) required?
A Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) emergency response guide (FES-ERG) is required by dangerous goods sites (except petrol stations and mine sites) that store or handle more than ten times the manifest quantity of dangerous goods. The FES-ERG is required to complete the licensing process for a dangerous goods site.
For more information see What are DFES emergency response guides (FES-ERGs)?
Completing the FES-ERG
A site operator should complete as much of the template as possible before liaising with the officer in charge of their local fire station or regional office. This will allow the FES-ERG contents to be finalised before submission to the department.
A list of DFES offices around the State is available from the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
Lodging the FES-ERG
Once the FES-ERG for the site has been developed and finalised in consultation with DFES, the guide can be:
- included with the documentation if applying for a dangerous goods site licence (see licence application lodgement details)
- emailed to the department's Chief Dangerous Goods Officer quoting the dangerous goods site licence number.
Email for Chief Dangerous Goods Officer: firstname.lastname@example.com
What happens after lodgement?
The department then notifies DFES of the dangerous goods licence number, which DFES incorporates into the FES-ERG.
DFES then distributes the FES-ERG to the operator and the local fire station or regional office.
The operator must ensure that a printed copy of the site's FES-ERG is held at the site.
For further information regarding the process for the emergency response guide please contact DFES or the department.
To contact Dangerous Goods Licensing
Phone: (08) 6251 2300
For more information on FES-ERG send a blank email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Contact the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.

Tez Reviews: Rewined Candles
If you're a wine lover like me, you'll be obsessed with Rewined Candles. Seriously though, what could be better than wine and candles, combined in one unique product? The combination is like peanut butter and jelly or chocolate and peanut butter, it just works!
From the concept right down to the design, Rewined Candles seems to have thought of it all. Plus, they're a company that believes in reusing to come up with a completely new, totally rad product.
Rewined is based in Charleston, South Carolina, where they handcraft candles from repurposed wine bottles. The scents are designed to mimic the key notes, flavors, and hues of your favorite type of wine. The American-owned company was started by a man who worked in a restaurant and saw several wine bottles going to waste on a daily basis. Rewined was born shortly after he had the brilliant idea to turn those bottles into premium candles.
All Rewined Candles are made from a premium soy blend that are hand poured into repurposed wine bottles. Each scent is also delicately crafted to pick up the subtle savory and sweet notes of even the most complex wines. Plus, the design of the labels instantly give your space an upscale meets vintage feel. The style of the label paired with the repurposed wine bottle makes them a classy addition to any space.
I was actually sent two unique Rewined Candles scents, and couldn't have been happier with the picks. I loved the warm, crisp notes of the Pinot Grigio scent, but also enjoyed the light, refreshing fragrance of the Rosé.
Rewined Candles describes the Pinot Grigio as a "smooth, clean varietal" with hints of sandalwood and rich minerals accented by strong notes of citrus – a description that is spot on. While I'm not necessarily a candle (or wine) connoisseur, I'd have to say this is one of the best candles you'll ever experience. The burn on it was smooth, and the fragrance was even more subtle, yet warming. I'm definitely going to have to stock up on this one!
While I'm obsessed with the Pinot Grigio candle, I didn't think that another scent could measure up until I lit the Rosé. This scent was a completely different fragrance with hints of rose petal, white peach, pink peppercorn, and a rich minerality that stood all on its own. I also appreciated that this candle came packaged in a clear glass bottle as compared to the green of the Pinot Grigio. The scent is much more delicate than Pinot Grigio, and the packaging definitely mimics that. I'd recommend picking one of these up for that special female in your life, along with a bottle of Rosé as well.
As much as I loved these two scents, I can't wait to try all of the other options Rewined Offers. The company stocks everything from Seasonal Sangria Magnum to Champagne, Cabernet, Merlot, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc.
Whether I'm writing, working, cleaning or reading, I almost always have a candle lit to help me relax. Rewined candles make the perfect gift for any occasion and I couldn't say enough about the quality of the product and scents. Don't forget to enjoy them with a rich glass of wine. Cheers!

The use of the two rail lines that go through River Heights for transporting rail cars and industrialization of the adjoining lands continues to increase as does the disruption to the neighbourhood.
The increased use of the rail lines to store and transport rail cars is governed by the Federal Government therefore the City of Winnipeg cannot regulate the land use so it is compatible with the residential neighbourhood.
The result has been the erection of storage Silos, a plan to build a transloading station and the parking of rail cars.
The fact that the City of Winnipeg does not have the authority to regulate the use of these lands illustrates the need remove the rail lines.
The need to remove the rail lines is illustrated by the City of Winnipeg losing its application to have the silo's removed based on the City's position that storage of materials is not integral to the rail line operations (works that is integral to a rail lines operation are allowed by Federal law, including transloading stations and storage of material on rail line lands).
A stay of prosecution against Fort Industries was ruled this past Dec 19, 2014. In essence the prosecutor decided that the Federal Government's jurisdiction over railways and the activities thereof overrules that of the City ability to regulate land use and the Silo's can stay at the BNSF property.
Over the past few years I have been working to open the door to moving the lines from River Heights to a more suitable location in Centre Port.
A Rail Line Rationalization Working Group is moving forward in working with all stakeholders to remove the rail line out of the River Heights.
There is a basic agreement by all parties on a conceptual plan that will satisfy all stakeholders and detailed implementation issues are presently been addressed.

We're excited to announce that I've been offered, and have accepted a position as an application developer with Distinctive Software Systems (DSS), a small software company in South Jordan, Utah. DSS specializes in database driven applications for medium to small businesses. I've already begun work and am staying with Nolan while Cerra finds us an apartment . We're going to miss Mom and the animals, but we're just a short, cheap flight from Idaho, so we'll be visiting often. Cerra and I are very grateful to have been blessed with this great opportunity for me to work doing what I love while earning a good salary and for Cerra to return to college full-time. Thanks to all our family and friends for your support as we've taken these first steps together this past year. Of course, special thanks to Mom for all that she has done and does for us.

I found a plan for this jig in an old woodworking book, long before the days of power tools were the major factor in the wood shop. Made from scraps, it is held in the bench vise to securely hold two mitred parts such as a picture frame while a saw kerf is cut to take a spline.
Hopefully the pictures can provide you with a better description than my attempt at describing it. The batten affixed near the bottom assists in both holding it in the vise while allowing the mitred parts to,clear the jaws of the vise. The clamp bar rides on two trammels pins. Small springs on the bars (photo 3) provide a little tension when releasing the clamp bar. A butterfly nut is all that is required to hold the parts in place while sawing the kerf(s).
Good luck

The Star Wars franchise is hotter than ever. Episode VII brought in record returns, and the spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is still selling tickets. Disney isn't going to let this moneymaker stop producing.
Although the original series may have only two more episodes left, Disney is busy dreaming up new directions for the universe. Rumors are flying about a potential Han Solo film. The lovable rogue is one of the most iconic characters of all time. Reviewers couldn't stop praising the reappearance of the Millennium Falcon in Episode VII, and it's likely Disney is counting on the tide of nostalgia to carry a Han Solo flick to box office gold.
The movie still doesn't have a title, but it's already cast several stars. Alden Ehrenreich, who has already worked with Woody Allen, Francis Ford Coppola and the Coen Brothers, will take the lead role. Donald Glover will take on a young Lando Calrissian. Game of Thrones megastar Emilia Clarke has been cast in an unnamed role, but many insiders assume she'll be playing the female lead. Khaleesi wouldn't settle for a minor part.
The movie is already securing rights to shoot on the Spanish Canary Islands and Italy. Few specifics are known, but the island, Fuerteventura, is home to lava-strewn hills and volcanic mountains. It could make an exotic backdrop for a foreign planet. Its hard-to-reach location will make it harder for spoilers and photos to leak online.
The movie is set for release in 2018, so producers must be eager to get the ball rolling. As with most Star Wars movie, the Han Solo flick is sure to need plenty of special effects. Post-production can take months, so there's not much time left.

About Gabrielle Colette.
Gabrielle Colette is a fashion blog that aims to inspire you and to give you the fashion tips you need.
I am 24 and I just finished studying my MA at the London College of Fashion. Don't get me wrong guys, I do not study design as I am unable to hold a pen or to draw an apple, and I have to say that sewing a button is a struggle for me (but I am getting better with the years). So you may have guessed it I am rather studying Fashion Business, and more precisely Fashion Entrepreneurship.
As a consequence I just left London and I currently back to France. I said "currently" because I am a big globetrotter at heart. Indeed, in the past three years I lived in four different cities: Paris, LA, Munich, Berlin and London either to work, either to study. But to be honest my heart belongs to LA, where I want to settle down for good #lifegoal.
I am originally from Paris. I mean kind of…. Let's be honest, I was born and raised in a small city in Normandy that you probably you don't know. That's exactly why I like saying I am from Paris, it sounds more stylish. I have spent many years of my life in Paris so I am not 100% lying when saying this. Although, it gets really tricky when curious people ask me what part of Paris I am from, I always get blocked and I don't know what to say…
About the blog.
My wishlist is full of affordable clothes as I rarely buy items, which cost more than £60. Fashion is style not price. Nonetheless, my yolo wishlist is the opposite. It only has (very) expensive items that I can't afford but of which I am envious of. Come on girls, we are all dreaming of the newest Gucci bag !! I just hope the yolo wishlist will become a normal wishlist in a few years.
Then, of course there is the page "Shop my Insta", where can find most of the clothes I am wearing on my Instagram pictures, that are not in my blog articles.
Hope that you will like taking this fashion journey with me and do not hesitate to contact me for any enquiries about me, my blog or if you want to collaborate with me.
PS: I am a junk food addict (I don't always like going to the gym for all that and I hate tofu).
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com you can also use the form in my "contact" page.
Much love,

You must provide backing for your quilt that is at least 5" larger than your quilt top in every direction. This means that the backing must be a total of 10" longer and wider than the length and width of your quilt. For example, if you quilt is 55" x 70", then your backing must be at least 65" x 80". For those not familiar with long arm quilting, the backing must be attached to canvas leaders at the top and bottom and extra fabric is necessary to do this. Tension is placed on the sides of the quilt with clamps, which can cause distortion on the backing for the first couple of inches; a 5" per side allowance prevents the potential distortion from affecting your quilt.
Backings may be piece with 1/2" seams ironed open, but selvages must be cut off to prevent puckering. Please square your backing on the grain prior to drop off. When choosing a backing, please remember that the thread on the back will match the quilting thread on the top; the nicest quilts have a print back in multi-tones that coordinate with the colors used in the top or in colors that will match the quilting thread.
Your Quilt Top
In many ways, successful machine quilting depends on the quality of the top's piecing. While some adjustments can be made while quilting, it is a mistake to think that fullness, waving borders and irregular seams will just "quilt out". I will do everything in my power to adjust problem areas through easing, basting, additional quilting, and as a last resort taking tucks, but these steps can result in additional charges and ultimate responsibility for fullness lies with the piecer.
Proper measuring and attaching of borders, whether they are the borders of blocks or the final borders of the quilt will go a long way to ensure a lovely flat quilt top. To properly measure a border, measure the width of a top in three places; top, middle, and bottom. Find the average of these measurements and cut two borders to this measurement. Find the middle and quarter of each border and mark with a pin then do the same to the sides of your top. Match the pins and gently stretch or ease the pieces together. Iron the seam to the border. Do the same for the length of the quilt. This same process should be used if mitering the corners.
Attaching borders by sewing on a long strip then cutting off the excess and continuing around the quilt nearly always results in waving borders. Tearing your border fabric along the grain and then attaching it to your top also will stretch the outside edges of your border and distort them. If you have pieced borders, you can alter their length invisibly by sewing a new seam between blocks just inside or outside the existing seam. Each seam adjustment can lengthen or shorten a border by 1/8 inch. So, just four seams can change the measurement by 1/2 inch.
Finally, do not forget to clip stray threads from the back of your quilt top to prevent them showing through and make sure all your seams are pressed in the right direction if you are planning any stitching in the ditch.

Olympic speaker Steve Parry is a retired British Olympian butterfly swimmer who competed internationally in 100-metre and 200-metre butterfly distances and claimed a number of medals in this discipline, including at the Olympics. As one of Britain's greatest ever swimmers, he retired at the top of his game after winning an Olympic bronze medal in 2004 – the country's first swimming medal in eight years.
Steve's story begins in Liverpool, city of his birth in 1977. From an early age he enjoyed swimming, joining a club in Woolton but progressing to bona fide teams like the Liverpool Penguins and City of Liverpool. He started training seriously when he was 12 years of age, and at 16 he qualified for the European Junior Championships, going on to win it the following year.
At 18 years of age, Steve left the UK to attend Florida State University, studying marketing and finance alongside his swimming. The Olympic speaker excelled during his time in the United States, winning the NCAA title in the 200 m butterfly. After returning to Britain and joining Stockport Metro, he set a Commonwealth record at the 2000 US Nationals in Seattle, beating, among others, a very young Michael Phelps. Later that year he qualified for his first Olympic Games in Sydney.
He bagged an impressive 10 medals between 1997 and 2004, including a gold at the 2002 European Championships in Riesa and a Commonwealth silver in 2002 in Manchester, just a few miles from his home city, but his Olympic medal is his greatest competitive achievement.
Following retirement, the Olympic speaker set up Total Swimming, a company that brings temporary pool facilities to children in deprived areas across Britain – he is particularly keen on all children learning to swim as early as possible because of his own narrow escape from drowning at the age of nine. In 2009, Steve was diagnosed with cancer only four weeks after getting married, but following treatment he was soon given the all clear. He is now an ambassador for Cancer Research UK and in 2011 teamed up with Richard Branson, Ronan Keating and other celebrities to swim the Irish Sea. The effort generated £300,000 for charity.
Articulate and coherent throughout his appearances, he is a charismatic and proud athlete who is determined to support and nurture athletes with the same intrinsic drive to succeed as he discovered. His values and traits as an athlete mentor and television personality translate over to his suitability as an Olympic speaker.
