Huawei's Watch 2 – the best smartwatch at an affordable price?
Writing the Huawei's Watch 2 review was not an easy task because we are not yet sure about the release date (rumors are that it will be released in September 2017) or the features. The first Huawei's Watch came with Android Wear and was in harmony with iOS 8 even though not all features were not working when paired with an iPhone. The full round design was matching with the classic Swiss watch designs and was one of the most elegant looking smartwatches at the time it was launched. So, producing something better than that is going to be a difficult task for the company itself. Next, in this Huawei's Watch 2 review let us see the expected features in the new one.
The rumor is that the operating system that will be used in the Huawei's Watch 2 will be Samsung's Tizen OS not Android Wear 2.0. Because of this, the user can expect much better connectivity and options in the Huawei's Watch 2. Huawei is aiming mainly at the Chinese market and the needs of Chinese market are entirely different than the world market. The news is that Huawei will launch the women's version first in the market. We can expect the new watch to be light and thinner because its predecessor was a lightweight watch and was fit for everyone.
The screen will be a 1.4-inch one and can give you a resolution of 400 x 400 pixels. The first watch used an AMOLED display and we will have to wait for the release to know what will be used in the second model. The processor used in the first watch was Snapdragon 400 and featured 512 MB RAM. The Huawei's Watch 2 should be upgraded from this to support LTE and 4G. A snapdragon 2100 processor is the best option here.
The watch will be programmed to support both iOS and Android. Samsung is aiming to use their Tizen as an open source OS, so Huawei can customize the software as they want. In other words, it will be altogether a new watch face in the new Huawei's Watch 2. Next, we will look into the negatives in this Huawei's Watch 2 review.
Possible drawbacks
If the company is going to use Tizen OS from Samsung then the customers cannot expect Android Pay to be available in the smartwatch. If the Huawei's Watch 2 is using Snapdragon 400 processor then there will not be much difference in the performance. This means it will not be optimized for less power conception as the Snapdragon 2100 processor. This also means that the watch may not have the LTE facility. But we can hope that this Chinese giant is not going to disappoint its customers with something that is old.
This Huawei's Watch 2 review was based on the facts that are being circulated in the market and if they are true we can expect a better smartwatch than the first model. We can also say that its competitors will have a tough competitor to face with.

The Rude Pundit has often shit on his beloved homeland, the South. He regularly attacks Louisiana and Tennessee because they are places where he lived, has family and friends, still visits, but would never in a million fucking years live again (well, okay, for the right price, perhaps). That's because the stupid is strong there, in the politics and the people. So he has said awful, hideous things about them, as well as other flyover states, like Indiana and Kansas, places where backwards ass country fucks crawl out of their ditches to yowl as if they comprehend human language.
Well, now he can add New York to the list where redneck yahoos embarrass everyone.
Those upstanding Uhmerkans in the don't-give-a-fuck beards aren't Duck Dynasty fanboys from backwoods Alabama. Oh, no. They're from the Empire State, and they're part of a crowd of over 2000 who gathered at the state capitol in Albany to protest Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York legislature and to get them to repeal what they perceive as restrictive regulations on assault weapons and bullet magazines. These Yankee shitkickers would rather "Die" than have to knuckle under to Big Brother Cuomo expanding background checks and making illegal gun possession a felony, let alone the proposal to limit gun purchases to one a month. How can one "Live Free" that way? (By the way, on assault weapons, there's a loophole big enough to drive a tank through.)
But the rally, which attracted no less a publicity cum whore than Donald Trump, included everything you could want from a collection of deranged gun fellaters.
You had your gun control is just like Hitler/Stalin/Pol Pot sign:
You had your Confederate flag (which is weird on so many levels):
You even had an effigy of Andrew Cuomo that was sort of non-committally dangling, not really hanging - no rope was visible - but kind of semi-aborted on what looks like modified coat hangers:
It was a lovely day for a nice walk by people who probably needed the exercise. And, since current polls show two-thirds of New Yorkers like the Safe Act's gun laws, that was all they got. Well, that and a chance to see Donald Trump's helicopter.

It is hard to believe that I just had a baby less than 2 weeks ago and today my little Owain is just 15 months old. It is a bit strange to have two babies around the house so close together. When the other kids were born, their siblings were much older and while they didn't have complete understanding of what it meant to have a new baby in the house, they did know that we were going to be adding to our family.
I think that Owain was young enough to have an instinct that we were having a baby. One of the signs that Ariel would be joining us soon, was Owain's sudden need for extra attention. The week before she was born, he started crawling up to me and wanting to cuddle on the couch and take a nap. He would just wrap his legs around the baby belly and fall asleep. I think that some how he knew that he wouldn't be the youngest baby of the family any more.
He doesn't seem to be phased at all by Ariel. He is curious and will come and try to play with her, but he really does not seem to be put out by her. He just goes about his business as if today is just another day, and now we have another baby living with us. It does seem like he is putting an extra effort into being super cute though! I don't see any hurt feelings, anger or frustration in him the way that I did with my oldest when I brought home a new sibling. When he does get my attention for an extended period of time, he pulls out all of his cutest faces, moves and babbles non-stop. He is very patient for a 15 month old, much more so than my 3 year old.
I think my 3 year old was concerned that when Ariel was born that she would need surgery like Owain and that we would be spending our days in the PICU. The other day, I was changing Ariel and he looked at her chest and said "Look, Ariel is not not broken, her Heart is fixed". He was almost 2 when Owain was born, but he remembers everything we went through to 'fix' Owain's Heart. He wasn't old enough to understand everything that was going on, so we told him that Owain had a broken Heart and that the Doctors had to fix it.
I have mentioned before how the month before Owain's first birthday, along with his birthday, the anniversary of his surgery, the entire month of May, and the Heart Center picnic were hard on me emotionally. Every time I turned around something brought back memories and before I knew it I was walking round the house, store or where ever crying. Ariel's birth has brought another whole set of memories…along with lack of memories. Like the day I realized that Ariel was 9 days old, I lost it when I thought about the fact that at 9 days old Owain had Open Heart surgery. When she was discharged and we where leaving the hospital to go home I looked down at her and thought about how when Owain left the same hospital he was transported in the NETS Van and I didn't see him again for almost 12 hours after that. As I crawl across my bed to get to her bassinet for middle of the night feedings it occurs to me that I never had to do this for Owain because he was almost a month old when he came home and pretty much slept through the night.
There are all sorts of little things that I do with Ariel that I suddenly realize I never had the chance to do with Owain and I have found myself mourning for the loss of things I missed out on with him. This is yet another thing that has caught me off guard and I was not expecting. I look at him now, and it is so hard to believe everything that he went through. It is hard to believe that he almost didn't make it. He is so amazingly healthy right now. No, he will never be completely 'healthy', he will never be able to play any high impact sports, he will never be able to do many things that could get his heart rate too high and put too much stress on his heart, but he has so many other options in life. He is strong, happy and is here to be loved by is big brothers and little sister. He is an amazing little boy and is one of my biggest inspirations. I find myself feeling a little silly to be crying over the fact that I didn't get to be both irritated by those exhausting middle of the night feedings that never end and blessed by those precious moments spent alone for those magical middle of the night feedings that pass by so quickly.
I am not sure how many more things will pop up unexpectedly and trigger those emotions and experiences that I thought I got over almost a year ago. I don't know for sure that there will be any more moments where I find myself driving down the road crying because of a smell, a song or something one of my older children say. I know that today Owain is happy and healthy, that he loves bananas, carrots and taking apart his brothers Thomas the Tank Engine train tracks, he is learning to walk, cutting his back teeth and he loves to dance, play in the sink and flood my kitchen when he takes a bath, he is gentle with Ariel when he rubs her head, and smacks her when he wants to play and she just lays there(not hard enough to hurt her though!!), he can tackle his 5 year old brother and is so strong that diaper changes have become wrestling matches, his favorite word is Mama and giggles with glee when we play, he sleeps through the night, wants to go to bed every night by 8 and almost always finishes his food. He might have had a rough start, scarred us silly and is one of the reasons for our current financial difficulties, but everything that he has gone through in the past 15 months has made him what he is today, and that to me is perfect.

General Motors Co. is considering shifting production of the Chevrolet Equinox to other facilities, a move the head of the union leading the ongoing strike at an Ontario plant said represents a "war on Canada."
GM informed Unifor head Jerry Dias on Wednesday that the company has started to explore other production alternatives as the strike at the CAMI facility in Ingersoll, Ont. continues into its fourth week, according to a company official. The official said negotiations have reached an impasse, although a narrow window remains to reach a collective agreement before production is shifted.
Despite the possible production change, Unifor — which represents about 2,500 striking workers — is standing by its primary demand that the company make a long-term commitment to the plant that would prevent further production from shifting to Mexico. Dias called GM's threat "a slap in the face" to Canada and the United States.
"The bottom line is that by doing this at this point in the negotiations, they are really thumbing their nose at both Canada and the United States," Dias said in a phone interview Thursday.
"They have declared war on Canada."
A key sticking point in the discussions remains a long-term commitment that would designate the plant as the lead producer of the next-generation Chevrolet Equinox. Production of the new Equinox began at the plant in January, but the vehicle is also produced in two Mexican facilities. The union says it wants the lead producer designation to ensure the CAMI plant would maintain core production levels in the event of a downturn or manufacturing changes in the auto industry.
The designation is particularly significant for the union, as about 400 employees were laid off this summer after GM moved production of the GMC Terrain from the CAMI plant to Mexico.
The company official said the negotiations have nothing to do with NAFTA, but about reaching a collective agreement. But Dias disagrees, and has repeatedly pointed to the loss of the Terrain at the CAMI plant as "NAFTA at its ugliest."
"The decisions General Motors have made are as a result of NAFTA. They are exploiting Mexican employees, paying them $2 an hour to build the Terrain that used to be built in our plant," he said.
"They can talk about separating NAFTA from the dispute, but the dispute is a result of NAFTA."
The tensions in the GM negotiations come at as NAFTA renegotiations appear to be falling apart. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with politicians and business leaders in Washington on Wednesday, where he acknowledged that the agreement could be in trouble and that the federal government is bracing for the worst. Trudeau departed for Mexico on Thursday.
The union representing 2,500 striking workers has been on strike since Sept. 17. GM recently completed an $800 million investment at the CAMI facility to produce the Equinox.
Hundreds of employees outside the CAMI plant have also been affected by the strike. GM said it made "related production adjustments" at three facilities because of the labour dispute at the CAMI plant, including GM's propulsion plant in St. Catharines, Ont., Spring Hill manufacturing plant in Tennessee, and engine operation plant in Flint, Mich.

Obamacare and Insurance Coding
In my last article on Obamacare I said, "It's a certainty that the law will be phased in by 2014, and everything will change." Wrong again.
This spring I had a wellness evaluation from my medical provider. She ordered lab tests done for my usual: thyroid, cholesterol, a blood panel.
A month or so later, I received a bill from the lab for $78; the individual costs for physician services and tests were each "more than free." Geez, I thought these tests are free under Obamacare! I looked at: https://www.healthcare.gov/what-are-my-preventive-care-benefits online and, sure enough, I was covered.
Then I called the lab. They told me that the tests had been coded in such a way that they were ineligible for coverage. They had called Blue Cross and were told that the insurance company could not legally give them the proper codes, because of laws concerning patient privacy.
I called my provider's office, who told me that she had called Blue Cross, who said, "We can't tell you how to run your office."
I called Blue Cross. No, I was told, they are not legally allowed to give me the proper code either! Moreover, there are thousands of codes corresponding to thousands of different circumstances, and it would be too confusing and time consuming to figure it out; there would be no guarantee that they had given me the right one. Would they rather create all this extra paperwork? Didn't that cost a lost of money?
Blue Cross also told me that there was no record of my provider having called the provider number in the last two months.
But wait, there's good news! Blue Cross agreed to call my provider and give her the provider number she needs to get the right codes.
And here is another tidbit of information you may find useful when you go through this process (and I would be surprised if you don't). It wasn't the codes for the tests that were wrong. It was the code for the diagnosis. My provider had used a code for a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, instead of a code for a wellness check. (Side note: interesting that the insurance company accepted a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia as justification for thyroid and cholesterol tests!)
The provider's office called me to say that they would resubmit the order to the lab with the correction.
What concerns me is not just the $78; the real concern is that people will just go ahead and pay for tests that they don't have to pay for. They will then notice that Obamacare does not provide free wellness tests and that nothing has changed.
We can defeat these pesky detail-devils! I am available for free consultations and will be more than glad to help you resolve these paperwork issues. DON'T PAY FOR WELLNESS TESTS. Email me a [email protected], or phone me at 208-304-9066.

Lift them Up
Yeah, I totally know today is not Friday yet, but this is going to be up until the weekend at least, and as I've sat here and wrote it, I realized I couldn't wait until tomorrow to put it up.
We all have struggles
in life, sometimes they seem to
have no end, no out
Lately I have had
some of my own, found myself
wishing for... something
Then I reach out, I
take in words and I wonder
how can it all be?
Now I try so hard,
my hardest, to push aside
thoughts of myself
I will sit, I will
pray, I will send anything
I think will help you
I will think of you,
I will spread the word, the world
needs love, needs it now
If you have a prayer
a positive thought, a bit
of good energy
If you have karma
to spare, virtual hugs to
send, now is the time
Now is the time, we
lift each other up, across
the miles we join
Wishing we could do
more, but hoping for now we
make some difference
I've been struggling lately. Between the swine flu invading my household, the ridiculous decision to try and adopt a 9 month old puppy (yeah, say I told you so, the adoption was never official & we couldn't handle him), morning sickness that has reacquainted me with the toilet in a forgotten way, not being able to eat, a house I'm too tired to clean, and pregnancy hormones making me slightly crazy? It's been... interesting. I've cried. I've sobbed. I've snapped at Sam. I've gotten to the end of my rope and wondered where there was to go.
But, I'm surviving. At the end of the day, Sam always falls asleep and watching him like that I can't help falling back in love with him no matter what happened that day. I can get through one day at a time and some days I feel a little better than others. My life has become a question to me. I don't know how we'll do this, I don't know how I'll get through the next 5 months if this sickness sticks around. I don't know how I'm going to handle an infant and a 4 year old. But I'll figure it out. I have my family, and I can't wait until the day I get to feel our new little baby move inside me! We have our ups and downs, but my heart is intact, in fact most days it swells with love and pride and wonder at least once.
I've been behind on my reading around the blogosphere, but I'm getting caught up. Unfortunately, as I catch up, I see that there are other women out there who are struggling too. Is it something in the air? I don't know. All I know is that I am moved to tears and find myself wishing there was something, anything, I could do to help ease their pain. I want to hold them in my arms, tell them that it's so hard right now, but I know it will eventually be okay. I want to cry with them, tell them that I'm sorry, I'm so sorry for what they're going through right now.
In this weird online world, we meet people without meeting them. Some of these women probably don't even know who I am. I read their blogs, I've been looking into their lives for a couple of years. I've laughed with them, I've cried with them. Some of them know me, and have reached out to me in my times of need. Some of them I admire for their strength, their humor, their writing, or their hearts. Sometimes it is hard to care so much about people you've never met. To be allowed into their pain in a way you're not allowed into people's lives sometimes.
With all of that though, the tears I've shed, the pain I feel for them... I wouldn't give it up. I love them. I love the support I've found. I love that there is a world where we can share these innermost scary thoughts, that we can purge ourselves. I love that we can share ourselves and know that we can find support. Today, I want you to support these women. I want you to click, to visit, to tell them anything. Whether it's a prayer you can offer, positive energy you can send their way, a virtual hug, or a word or two of comfort, it matters. They need you, in the same way that I've needed you and you've been there for me.
Audrey ~ If you've been around here, you've heard about Audrey before. She's one of my closest online friends, and an amazing and awesome woman. She has her struggles, but she has a big heart, and she's always been there for me. Auds has actually been having some more up times lately, but there are still struggles. Like Facebook jerks. Seriously people? In any case, she can use your love.
Janet ~ I think Janet is strong. If you read through her archives, you'll see the trials she's gone through, and she almost always handles it with a smile or a joke. She is funny, and she is fiercely in love with her kids. Her pride in them is pretty awesome. Well, sometimes things just get overwhelming. It happens to us all, right?
Mama Bee ~ Mama Bee is hilarious. She is one of the most hilarious women I read, and also somehow manages to title every blog post with a song title. So not something I can do. She's been sick. Real sick. Like me, except without the baby. Which is a whole second reason she should be lifted up. See, she wants another baby. But it hasn't been in the cards (yet). I know how hard that is, I remember the anger and the frustration and the want. So, just love her up, kay?
Adam ~ All right, so it might be true that Adam is not a lady. It also might be true that his life is going all right at this point. However, Adam has friends. Friends he loves fiercely who happen to be having some hard times. So, why is he on this list? Because in reading his post today, I was reminded that sometimes, supports need supports too. Because I think you should read his blog. At first, you'll probably be impressed because it's kinda funny and witty and if you're like me, sarcasm is alwaysa plus. Then after a while, you'll realize that this guy is kinda awesome, and that the kind of friendship he offers to those he cares about is pretty cool, and maybe you'll be happy he's a part of our community and want to tell him so.
Casey ~ I love Casey. She probably doesn't know me, but she is one of my favorite lady bloggers. She is adorable, she is faithful, she is an amazing photographer and she's funny. I hope that I'll be able to meet her one day. Right now, she's going through hard times. I don't know all the details, but I know she is struggling. I know that she is amazing and supportive, and right now she needs to be lifted up.
Britt ~ Britt is the one who really inspired this post. Just read this. It will absolutely take your breath away, and if you don't want to just sweep Britt away and hug her tight and take away her pain, I will eat my shirt. She is a strong woman, she is amazing, but right now she is going through something unthinkable. Even without the details, I cry when I think of her. I know that right now, it's hard for her to see the future, it's hard for her to see that there will be light and love and wonder and things will be okay, someday. So, we need to keep reminding her that she's not alone, that there is love out here, and that she will make it.
That's all for now. Do you know someone who needs a lift? Leave it in the comments. Even if it's you. And thanks for being part of this weird, wonderful little world inside my computer.

"X-Men: Days of Future Past" marks producer Simon Kinberg's first start-to-finish job as a screenwriter, after co-writing and working on rewrites for previous "X-Men" titles. Kinberg has stepped into the spotlight to take on on additional promotional duties since director Bryan Singer dropped out of promoting the film after sexual abuse allegations were brought against him.
"I love talking about this movie and my role as a writer and a producer," he told Variety.
Opening Friday, "Days of Future Past" assembles the largest-yet number of characters from the X-Men universe in one film. In total, 20 major characters (including both the younger and older versions of Magneto and Professor X) are strung throughout the pic, which jumps from the future to the past and back again, with Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman) uniting the time periods.
Kinberg talked to Variety about being the spokesman for the film and why Batman and X-Men are never going to exist on the same screen.
Variety: You've got quite a few characters to balance onscreen, not to mention some heavy hitters when it comes to talent.
Simon Kinberg: It's true. You have No. 9, 10, 11 on the call sheet who are all used to being No. 1. The challenge is to tell stories that are worthy of the actors; there really hasn't been a cast quite like this.
How did you keep them and their past and future storylines straight?
I note-carded it out. All the scenes in the movie. I broke down each of the character's stories and each one had a different color notecard that ran like parallel tracks on a bulletin board. Yellow was for Jen Lawrence, because of her character's eyes. Purple was for Wolverine, read into that what you will [purple has historically been the color of the villain in comicbooks]. Beast was blue because of his skin. Young Charles was green and young Eric was red.
Moviegoers seem to be inundated with Marvel properties. What makes "X-Men" distinct?
There's a tone, it probably most closely resembles a "Dark Knight" tone. It's a little more dramatic and weighted and almost operatic than any other superhero movie. However, this movie has some lightness and humanity. It's a dramatic franchise that's hard to integrate into anything else. Licensing issues aside, Batman and X-Men are not going to exist together.
What's it like to have to take on more responsibilities when it comes to promoting the film?
I'm very connected to this movie, being the person who wrote the first and last draft. I've been much more involved in the post process, and I saw lots of cuts of the film. I have a sense of the film's balance.
(Slight spoiler ahead)
This film reverses some of the actions in the previous "X-Men" films. Where do you go from here?
For this film we first thought of bringing Ian and Patrick in as bookends, and not integrating them into the main plot. The idea got floated, and I'm a fan of the comic and the days of future past [storyline, which was published in the early 1980s] so we just did it.
What direction are you going in for "X-Men: Apocalypse?" There's only so many times the world can be saved and history can be altered, right?
Yes, but the audience has an appetite. And as long as there's an appetite, these characters have something to give.

"The whole concept of keeping my faith while understanding, respecting and actually listening to the other side through a dialogue has since shaped the person I am today."
"As a result of my SUSI experience, I certainly have a better understanding of others and a greater interest in their traditions."
"The DI program provided me with a tool, a methodology for training others. It is my experience with the DI that inspired me to create a center for interreligious and intercultural dialogue within the Catholic University of Salvador."
"I have more respect for everyone to live as they wish. And I'm fighting every day to ensure that's the case in my own country. Different cultures, religions and political opinions should be able to live together."
"The SUSI program was the main turning point in my life, shifting from being a closed-minded person who believed in one rigid identity toward a person who is always willing to learn about himself through the different 'other.'"
"(My SUSI experience) totally changed my personal life and mindset. I am more open-minded for religion pluralism and I am interested more in studying about religions. "
"The SUSI program helped me to find my passion, which is religious pluralism, including conflict resolution."

IP-Mobile Cast
The new service is based on multicasting technology and is designed to make it affordable for mariners to receive a wide range of content.
MIDDLETOWN, RI – May 14, 2014 –
The IP-MobileCast content delivery service developed by KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) for its mini-VSAT Broadband satellite network is now live, constituting a maritime industry first that will enable seafarers in the middle of the ocean to have affordable access to daily digital newspapers, television news, sports updates, music, new-release blockbuster movies, and TV programs via a multicasting service. KVH, a leading provider of satellite Internet services to the maritime industry, recently completed successful beta testing of IP-MobileCast, and is making the service available immediately to existing mini-VSAT Broadband customers who are interested in subscribing to IP-MobileCast.
The IP-MobileCast service utilizes multicasting technology to deliver large amounts of content to many ships at once, overcoming the prohibitively high satellite communications costs typically charged to deliver files for individual use. The new service (patent pending) is notable for numerous technological advancements: Content is delivered over the top of the network so there is no charge for the delivery, only for the content itself; the multicasting transmission does not affect the vessel's mini-VSAT Broadband onboard data speed; the service ensures digital rights management (DRM) of copyrighted material, such as Hollywood movies and television programs; and the content is delivered using forward error correction to minimize burden on the mini-VSAT Broadband network.
"The IP-MobileCast service is revolutionary in the richness of fresh content that can be delivered to mariners at sea, who up until now have not had access to updated news, sports, television, or movies onboard their vessels," says Martin Kits van Heyningen, KVH chief executive officer. "Now, mariners in the middle of the ocean can experience an incredible amount of news and entertainment content the entire time they are at sea, and maritime operators can benefit from providing crew welfare services reliably and affordably."
"We're broadcasting football highlights from the games in Brazil, culminating in complete, live coverage on July 13th," says Jim Dodez, KVH's senior vice president for marketing and strategic planning. "We're especially proud to bring globally celebrated special events to mariners at sea, to strengthen their ties to home and family. It's how we interpret the spirit and the letter of the MLC-2006 crew welfare act."
Thousands of hours of beta testing were completed to ensure the IP-MobileCast service can deliver large multimedia files and regularly updated content to a vessel's onboard server, which can then make the content available to nearly all types of platforms on the ship, whether it is a flat screen TV, a computer, or a Wi-Fi enabled personal device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
"We can provide content from anywhere in the world to a vessel anywhere at sea, and the user has an experience that is even better than that on land," says Brian Arthur, KVH vice president of product development. "On land, people have become accustomed to viewing entertainment content via a streaming device, which is subject to freezing or interruption. With the IP-MobileCast service, the content is broadcast over the KVH mini-VSAT Broadband network and stored on an onboard server, so everyone watching it is viewing something locally, with no streaming interruptions. The reaction we have had from our beta testing users has been fantastic."
Existing customers of KVH's mini-VSAT Broadband service who have an onboard TracPhone V7-IP, V11, or V11-IP satellite communications system can immediately request access to IP-MobileCast's daily news and sports content, movie trailers, and television programs through their onboard Integrated CommBoxTM Modem (ICM); an over-the-air software upgrade is all that is required. KVH is offering several introductory promotions as part of the launch of the service for both new and existing customers, with details available from KVH's sales offices.
The content available via IP-MobileCast is provided by KVH Media Group, a leading provider of commercially licensed news and entertainment content to the maritime, hotel, and retail industries. KVH Media Group's brands include NEWSlink Print – daily news in more than 60 national editions; NEWSlink TV – 12 channels of regional news in native languages and 4 channels of international news in English; MOVIElink – latest release movies from Hollywood and international studios; TVlink – top TV programming including complete seasons of the most popular series; SPORTSlink – daily video clips of key games and sporting events; and MUSIClink – licensed music in a variety of genres. All content is licensed for use onboard commercial vessels, avoiding the potential liabilities for shipping companies that can result from crew members bringing DVDs onboard and sharing them with other crew members in potential violation of copyright laws

What Is an ESR Blood Test?
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) is also called Sed Rate or Sedimentation Rate. It is a simple test used to determine how much inflammation is in the body, but it cannot diagnose the specific condition causing the inflammation.
How ESR Blood Test Works
Inflammation changes the proteins in red blood cells causing them to bind to one another in clumps, making them denser than normal red blood cells. An ESR test simply notes the speed at which blood cells sink to the bottom of a test tube. The faster the blood cells fall, the more inflammation is in your body.
Primary Uses of the ESR Test
ESR tests are most often used to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis, polymyalgia rheumatica and giant cell arteritis (GCA). Rheumatoid arthritis causes inflammation of the lining of the joints, resulting in pain, joint damage and sometimes deformity. Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory disorder causing stiffness and pain usually in the shoulders, neck, upper arms, hips and thighs; giant cell arteritis (GCA) refers to inflammation of the arterial lining and causes headaches, jaw pain and blurred vision.
Increased ESR
Increased ESR has many causes, including pregnancy, menstruation, infection or anemia. Many diseases such as kidney disease, syphilis, tuberculosis, thyroid disease and lupus also cause ESR rates to be higher than average. In addition, certain medications such as oral contraceptives, vitamin A, dextran and methyldopa (aldomet) can cause ESR readings to be higher than normal.
Very High ESR
In addition to polymyalgia rheumatica, giant cell arteritis and rheumatoid arthritis, other common causes of a very high ESR include necrotizing vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessel walls) and macroglobulinemia primary (cancer of the B lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell).
Low ESR
Though a low ESR is generally not a cause for concern, it is worth noting that liver or kidney disease, congestive heart failure and some protein abnormalities as well as sickle cell anemia or conditions that cause an increase in either red or white blood cells can cause a lower than normal ESR result. Medications such as aspirin, cortisone and quinine can also result in a lower ESR.
Discuss your ESR Test Results with a Doctor
Because there are so many conditions that can affect an ESR test, it is important to discuss your results with a qualified doctor who is aware of all your medical conditions and the medications you are taking. The ESR blood test is considered a screening test and cannot be used to diagnose any one condition. It is, however, useful in screening for certain inflammatory conditions, or in monitoring their progress.

Mitochondria are small organelles, found within the cells of plants and animals. Mitochondria supply energy to the cell in which they reside. They produce a molecule called ATP, which stores energy in its chemical bonds. ATP is important in aerobic respiration and provides the primary site for the respiration to occur. Cells that have high energy demands typically have greater numbers of mitochondria than those with low energy demands.
Mitochondria are roughly oval in shape and possess a double membrane. The outer layer of the membrane forms the physical boundary that separates the external and internal environments. The inner layer of the membrane is highly convoluted and possesses extensions called cristae. The interior of the mitochondria is called the matrix. Mitochondria are small organelles, and a given cell may have thousands of the structures. The average mitochondria in an animal cell is about 0.5 to 1 micron in size.
Mitochondria have their own DNA that is different from that of the larger organism. The presence of this mitochondrial DNA, or mDNA, has led some scientists to propose that mitochondria are actually symbiotic bacteria that live within the cells of organisms. Nevertheless, the instructions for constructing some of the components within the mitochondria lie in the nuclear DNA of the organism, demonstrating the complex relationships between the organelles and their host cells.

Body Flow Ride is a Pilates-based exercise regimen created for equestrians by Jennifer Artur.
For many of us, riding is our passion and a huge part of our lives. Over time, imbalances and poor posture can develop and can not only be seen in your riding but more importantly, can affect how you ride. Rounded shoulders, lower back pain, tight hamstrings and hip flexors are common complaints from many of us riders. Body Flow Ride will help create efficient bodily function in the saddle as well as counteracting the stress that riding puts on our bodies on and off the horse.
- Build core strength and increase flexibility. Core stability and strength will allow for independence of arms and legs while riding.
- Deepen your seat by developing better posture. You will find less bouncing in the saddle and more connection to your horses movement.
- Create a mind-body connection which can build a more trusting relationship between horse and rider. Your horse will have more confidence with your strength and ability and will respond better to your commands.
Body Flow Ride is suitable for all levels and riding styles. Group workshops and private sessions can be held at your facility or in our studio. Body Flow Ride is a great add on to riding clinics. Contact Jennifer for rates and availability.

My husband and I had just gotten to Gold Beach the night before our baby shower, Friday January 31st, 2014 when we ran into a friend at the store and I started feeling slightly crampy around my lower belly. Our friend noticed and asked in a joking manner, "Are you having your baby now!?" We laughed, shrugged it off, and returned to my father-in-laws house for the remainder of the night.
Sometime shortly after Javin and I both fell asleep, I was in and out of the bathroom, uncomfortable, on my knees, curled in a ball…nothing made me feel better so I dozed when I could but spent the majority of the night in pain.
In the morning, my father-in-law saw my behavior and called the hospital to see if a doctor would be available to see me, he insisted we go get checked out. I mean, I was bending over the couch and could hardly move, but being as this was our first child, and we still had 10 more weeks until our due date, being in labor wasn't even an option. Was it?!
At this time, the hospital in our tiny little home town wasn't delivering babies, they were not staffed or prepared for it. But being as I came in and was already 6 cm dilated and progressing quickly, they made an exception. Yes we were ahead of schedule, and yes, I had a baby shower planned, but we were also having a baby.
Though the circumstances were not ideal, I remember feeling so calm, while I sensed everyone around me was a ball of nerves. My husband and both our moms were emotional, and there was nothing I could do at this point besides play things out.
Labor and delivery was tough for me. My body had began labor the night before (I know now) and when I got to the hospital they gave me I believe indomethacin to attempt to slow/stop labor. They would not fly me because I was already progressed further than they would have like, and so our only option was to wait for a team to fly in from Medford, to assist with the baby and take him to the NICU there once he was born. Because the doctors were trying to somewhat regulate and keep my labor on their schedule, my body was confused when they then broke my water to begin labor again.
Once I began to push, it wasn't long at all until our son, Parker, was born. 10 weeks early, breathing on his own, and 3lb 12oz of all our love. After I delivered the placenta the doctors then saw there had been an abruption, and I had a large blood clot that worried them enough that they insisted I stay the night for monitoring. The most difficult night in my life was this night. My first born had just been flown 3 and a half hours away and I didn't get to hold, admire, or nurture him. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect since this was NOT a part of our birth plan.
Long story short, we spent 6 weeks in the hospital, allowing Parker to mature. I lived in the hospital with him, while my husband continued schooling and working full time back home on the coast. I was his advocate, and I am so thankful I could be there to stand up for him and what I felt was appropriate. I saw many other babies have multiple set-backs during our stay, and we were so blessed to be able to bring our baby home even weeks before his original due date.
Once Parker turned one, we knew we would want to start trying for another baby soon. And when we got pregnant, I was in the best shape of my life. I actually was pregnant with our daughter while I attended a bikini competition and as lean and strong as I've ever been.
Our journey with Avaley's pregnancy was much different than Parkers. I changed midwifes, and knew I wanted a more natural approach to birth this time around. My midwives suggested I go see a specialist and discuss progesterone shots to possibly help prevent preterm birth with this pregnancy since the placental abruption I had with Parker was from an unknown cause.
So I did, and we came to the conclusion that we would begin shots at 20 weeks, and continue them once a week for 17 weeks until I reached "full term".
These shots sucked. They were a pain in the ass, literally.
Every Friday my husband would stick a large needle into my rear-end muscle, and have to slowly inject a thick, oily, hormone-filled shot over 60 seconds. For two days after each shot I could hardly sit, lay, or touch near the injection site. Down my leg ached, and felt as though I had been injected with cement. I grew moody and grouchy, partly because I was in pain, and partly because of the extra hormones I am sure. Because I was even more uncomfortable, and even more moody, I had less sex-drive. After each shot my stomach would turn, and I'd be in the bathroom the following day more frequently than I would have liked. I also remember having headaches frequently following the shots.
The truth of the matter was, I was scared to have another preemie. We were blessed with Parker, he had no significant issues from being born so early, where in many preterm births, that is not the case. I also felt obligated to follow the recommendations of my midwives because I didn't want another hospital birth either, and I needed them happy with the choices I was making. So we toughed it out and took the shots.
In addition to taking these shots, I had multiple additional ultrasounds to determine if my cervix ever shortened, which it never did. And it never was short before beginning the shots as well.
Come 37+ weeks, I had no more shots, and I lost my mucus plug. After this, I began very inconsistent contractions. I was so hopeful for a baby on my birthday, or even on Christmas, but that didn't happen. December 29th, my water broke at about 11:00 at night. True, more consistent contractions began almost instantly and we grabbed our bag and headed to the birthing center. I was so thankful we were to term, I was free of any medical intervention, and I could do as I pleased while I labored. Shower, ball, and bath. Avaley was born in the water at just after 2:00 am and we had a healthy baby girl whom I carried for 38+ weeks. Her daddy got to cut the umbilical cord, and I got to hold her first thing. It was magical. Everything I had hoped for.
Now, here we are, 14 weeks pregnant with our third child, and we've arrived at the dreaded progesterone dilemma again.
This time around, I've done more research, asked more questions, and discussed more with my husband about what we should do as far as taking progesterone shots goes.
My midwives again are sending me to another specialist. My husband and I will see them in a couple days. I was adamant about Javin coming with me this time, because I didn't want to forget anything, or feel pressured without him being there. Part of me also knows Javin doesn't want me to take the shots, and has had strong opinions about that from the beginning. So it will be good for both of us to be a part of this meeting and doctors appointment. I don't want to take the shots either, not just because they hurt, and are incredibly expensive, but as I said, I've done my research.
During my second pregnancy I received 17 Makena hydroxyprogesterone caporate injections. I began my research at the source, the Makena website. The "negative side-affects" list is never-ending, and many quite severe. Blood clots, yellowing of skin and eyes (which indicated liver complications) etc. However, I already knew how my body reacted so I wasn't going to spend my time there.
Ingredients: Man-made and chemical form of progresterone (which only makes up 25% of each injection), sesame oil, and preservatives.
Stress level officially through the roof! So, 75% of each injection is actually GMO sesame and preservative junk?!
Okay…moving on.
In a clinical study, certain complications or events associated with pregnancy occurred more often in women who received Makena. These included miscarriage (pregnancy loss before 20 weeks of pregnancy), stillbirth (fetal death occurring during or after the 20th week of pregnancy), hospital admission for preterm labor, preeclampsia (high blood pressure and too much protein in your urine), gestational hypertension (high blood pressure caused by pregnancy), gestational diabetes, and oligohydramnios (low amniotic fluid levels).
This was taken directly from the Makena website. I re-read that paragraph multiple times, and even had Javin read it to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me.
"complications occurred MORE OFTEN in women who recieved Makena."
I realize that clinical studies are very difficult to utilize for true results, because each individual is so different that there is no way to actually compare these women properly. So I began a full-on obsession with digging deeper into this. To spare you all the never-ending data, I'll just say I came out of this feeling frustrated, and discouraged more than anything. I know my brain and my heart say these shots aren't necessary, and there's absolutely NO WAY of telling if they did or didn't play a part in Avaley's full-term pregnancy. Pharmaceuticals scare me for a lot of reasons, and I chose to use them as little as possible in our lives. (We don't even take ibuprofen.) And where are the studies showing that these shots are not affecting the babies, and that down the road there wont be learning complications or some other negative side-effect because of the progesterone shots?!
There's no way of truly knowing these things. The only thing we can do is pray for guidance, and trust God's plan.
So we are meeting with a doctor at Maternal Fetal Medicine in just a few days, and after that appointment, I'm not going to trust a specialist or anyone else. I am going to follow my gut.
It has gotten me this far.

When I began this little blogging adventure, I thought I'd be sharing my own static ideas about style and fashion. I had no idea through blogging, shopping new places, and following other bloggers that my style would change, and I couldn't be happier! While my jeans and leggings aren't quite a thing of the past, I'm now more often choosing dresses, dresses, and more dresses! Blame it on seeing all of the fabulous dress-wearing ladies on blogs and on Instagram, having a better idea of where cute, retro dresses are available in my size, or trying to deal in the hot Louisiana weather. Needless to say, when Modcloth announced their 50% off sale, I was all about it. I was also notified that many of my wishlist items were part of the sale. It was so nice, I had to order twice! Check out the following video showing all the great clothes I scored for half-price:
The good news is the sale is still going on. The bad news is that certain items are going out of stock or are now only available in certain sizes. Do you recognize a couple of the dresses? It's because I featured them in my Poppy Picks post. Well, they're mine now! Hooray!
Here are links to the items I featured on the video:
I've already starting taking outfit pics in some of these garments, and I can't wait to show them off. I'm also excited about how some of these pieces will transition from summer to fall. I have a million ideas for that romper!
What was the last time you scored big on a great sale? I'd love to hear about it in the comments! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at my video. P.S. There are new and exciting things coming soon to the blog, so stay tuned! See ya next time!

Why consider a staging service?
Your home is probably the single most valuable asset you own. When you sell your vehicle you make sure it is detailed and looking its best so why would you not do the same for something that has a hundred times the value!
How much has to be done to enhance the value of the property being sold?
Landscape staging is a balance. Sometimes a staging is as simple as a property cleanup that involves some minor raking, edging and mowing. Other times it is more complicated and involves tree reduction, major landscape repairs and plantings to enhance the street appeal. The trick is not to over stage the property but to address what will detract from the sale.
How can we help you obtain maximum value for your property?
We at Garden City have been providing staging services for the Victoria market for ten years. We know how much or how little it takes to ensure your property looks its best for the sale.
"Just wanted to let you know that the Ten Mile Point property sold–thanks in great part to the work you did to bring this property in line with the $4M price tag. Thank you for responding quickly when we called you and for your excellent work."

Wondering how to get remarried, legally? Just like the first time around, getting remarried is going to necessitate a visit to the county clerk for your marriage certificate. Remarriage, however, is a little more involved with it comes to paperwork and documents.
For any marriage, both parties need to be present at the time of application. You'll both need the following:
• Government-issued photo I.D. (usually a driver's license or passport).
• Information regarding your parents, including birth dates, birth names, birth places, and dates of passing, if applicable.
Note: No actual proof of these items regarding your parents is needed, but it still needs to be accurate. Any mistakes on a marriage license application could render the application invalid.
Additional documents are required for remarriage. Read on to learn about the additional items you'll need if you're getting remarried after a divorce or the death of a spouse.
Remarriage After Divorce
Do you need divorce papers to remarry? Yes. You'll need to present your divorce decree or certificate of dissolution from your previous marriage. If you no longer have a copy, your lawyer can order you another one. Or, if you represented yourself, you can obtain it yourself from the court. Be prepared to provide the exact date of your divorce, as well as the state or country where the divorce was decreed, the exact grounds for divorce, and whether the former Mr. or Mrs. is still alive. It sounds morbid, but in order to ensure your union is a legal one, your local government will need to be absolutely sure that you're no longer married to your former partner. Once that's done, you're all set to get remarried!
Remarriage After the Death of a Spouse
If you're a widow or widower, you'll need to present your former spouse's death certificate to prove they're no longer living.

In a normal season, a group of N.F.L. referees taking a few minutes under the lights of "Monday Night Football" to figure out where a ball should be placed after a defensive holding penalty would be amusing. But with replacement officials making scenes like that one too common and sometimes struggling with the rules of the game, the amusement has begun to fade.
"Honestly, it's embarrassing," Mike Tirico, an ESPN announcer, said in the second quarter of Monday's game between Denver and Atlanta. "The command and control of this game is gone."
Two weeks into the regular season, with the N.F.L.'s lockout of its officials going strong, replacement officials have awarded a team an extra timeout in a close game, ruled multiple incomplete passes as fumbles, missed an array of pass-interference and unnecessary-roughness calls, and in one game took six minutes to review a play that they subsequently determined was not reviewable. One referee was removed from the crew of a New Orleans Saints game after publicly proclaiming himself a Saints fan.
In a recent radio interview, Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy suggested that the replacements might be approaching the game as supporters rather than officials. "I'll be honest, they're like fans," McCoy said. "One of the refs was talking about his fantasy team, like 'McCoy, come on, I need you for my fantasy.' "
Jim Harbaugh, the coach of the San Francisco 49ers, was so exasperated by the officiating in a Week 1 win over the Green Bay Packers that he threw a challenge flag and the broadcast crew speculated he had done so simply to give the officiating crew a piece of his mind.Continue reading the main story
So far, however, the league is shrugging off the criticism, issuing a statement after Sunday's games in support of the replacements.
"Officiating is never perfect," the statement said. "The current officials have made great strides and are performing admirably under unprecedented scrutiny and great pressure. As we do every season, we will work to improve officiating and are confident that the game officials will show continued improvement."
The situation has provided so much fodder for critics that the sports Web site Deadspin, with the help of readers on Twitter, has been compiling a list of the blunders, a process that is being called Scabwatch.
"Once is funny, like when Seattle gets a fourth timeout and can't even make hay of it," said Drew Magary, a writer for Deadspin. "But now the calls are so bad that you really don't expect any play to be officiated properly. Ike Taylor got flagged for nothing on Sunday. It was insane."
The sentiment through one week of games was that even with a few bad calls, the officials had performed reasonably well over all.
Chris Kluwe, the outspoken punter of the Minnesota Vikings, had been critical of the replacements in the preseason but defended them recently on Twitter, saying, "The replacement refs did a good job at our game; couple missed calls but nothing egregious."
In the second week, however, players brazenly exploited weaknesses they had discovered in the ways the games were being called.
In one instance, Cortland Finnegan of the St. Louis Rams openly shoved Josh Morgan of Washington in an attempt to bait Morgan into retaliating despite being in front of an official. When Morgan responded by throwing the ball at Finnegan, he was immediately flagged. The penalty cost the Redskins a chance at a comeback.
"There's no doubt the integrity of the game has been compromised by not having the regular officials out there," the Giants' Mathias Kiwanuka said Tuesday.
Taking advantage of the lack of judgment is a process Magary says will continue as long as the replacements are on the field.
"Why not? They're trying to win and preserve their employment," Magary said. "It's not their fault the N.F.L. has handed them this massive weakness to exploit."
One issue the critics and the league disagree on is the effect the replacements have on player safety.
Some have speculated that missed calls and players trying to take advantage of the replacements' inexperience could lead to more injuries, a belief Greg Aiello, an N.F.L. spokesman, dismissed, pointing out there have been 75 safety-related calls through two weeks this season compared with 74 over the same period last season. He also says that the league's system of fines helps to ensure player safety.
"It is longstanding policy that players are subject to fine and/or suspension for an illegal hit even if a penalty was not called on the play," Aiello said in an e-mail. "So players know they are held accountable to the safety-related rules even if the game officials miss one, which has happened in previous seasons. We have seen no evidence that player safety is being compromised."
Magary disagreed.
"You saw it last night," he said of the officiating during Monday's game between the Broncos and the Falcons. "You see how out of control it's getting. Someone will get blinded at the bottom of a pile or get their jaw broken."
With no movement reported toward a settlement, it appears Week 3 will also feature replacement officials. And the criticism is likely to continue.Continue reading the main story

Introduction to Life Groups
Life Groups are more than small group meeting. In many churches you may find "small groups" which are a program of the church congregation. At Restoration Cornerston, Life Groups are not a program of the congregation. They are the most basic unit of the congregation. In other words, you can expect "small church" in our Life Groups.
Life groups are the smallest units of people who have teamed up to do the work of the congregation. Our Life Groups will flex as needed for the purpose of coming alongside each other to meet the very real day-to-day needs of the congregation. It is very difficult to be very intimate and personal in a larger group setting, so our Life Groups provide a safe environment for each person to be authentic with one another and provide the opportunity for maximum spiritual growth.
In a Life group, Christians come together in close relationship to do the work of the kingdom. Life Group members join with one another to edify, equip, and evangelize. In our Life Groups, the focus is on "one another" ministry. Depending upon the spiritual maturity of the believers in a Life Group you may have a recognizable leader or you may have more of a peer model where each member of the group is functioning in their giftings from the Spirit.
It is our desire to have a vibrant and active set of Life Groups where the Lord is able to meet the needs of each individual member of the congregation through ministering to one another.
