"We see preserved natural resources, increased density in urban areas with sufficient existing infrastructure and along mass transportation corridors within the urban development boundary. There are more greenways, water access, pedestrian friendly parks, improved historic neighborhoods and landmarks still recognizable and protected."
The Plan:

Ryan says:
The Miami C.A.V.E. (Citizens Against Virtually Everything) mentality manifested.
Maybe they are afraid that real, high quality urban public spaces will justify the City's move toward a denser, pedestrian-oriented city.
Perhaps this is why they fight the Streetcar, as well. As each one of these projects moves forward, they have fewer and fewer excuses for leaving the automobile and miniature back yard behind.
Or maybe it's something else, which I will write about later.
John says:
There is a limited amount of bayfront area for greenspace, so I can understand folks who want to save it in the park and say the museums should be across the street or up in the "arts district" or whereever. Personally, I don't mind 20% of the park being used for musuems… seems like they'll create a nice buffer between the ugly noisy freeway and the green space.
However, when you look at the pictures, something is not clear: about _another_ 20% of the park in front of the museums seems to be taken up by some sort of "promenade" which looks suspiciously like a road past the museum entrances with a turning circle at the end. Now the museums are taking up 40% of the park…
Another factor beyond using up space in the park is the cost of the museums. We already have functional art and science museums so does the county really need to build two more budget-busting edifaces?

Xavier says:
This issue regarding current MPM plans having excessive green space consumption when, as Gabriel says, the park is in terrible shape, is ridiculous. The plans, as James mentioned in an earlier post, are sound and forward thinking.We're downright lucky that they are in place.
The site is world class, so is the design, so are the buildings going vertical around it. I look forward to seeing Ryan's follow up on what he thinks might be the cause.
I think the focus needs to be on how the museums will boost the local economy, quality of life, and cultural depth of the city not on whether it consumes 20% green space or less or more. That's insane. Why weren't these folks complaining when the park was only used by homeless and the occasional roving show?

According to a recent report by Trust for Public Land stated that Miami was the last of 50 major cities in the U.S. for acres of green space/person. So Miami needs to increase its green space. There is currently a race track running through Bicentennial Park (still its name). The guy who owns the Homestead Race track had promised that he would repair the park after the Miami Grand Prix, but decided to go bankrupt instead and then open the Homestead racetrack soon after. He was never forced to pay back his debt to the residents of Miami. UEL has a lot of good ideas but with it currently split on their stance they should work out their internal stance before telling the city what they want. Ideally, the museums would not take up more space than they originally promised the UEL. The current plan is very cool, but we need a promise from all people involved with getting it built that it will be budgeted for and maintained in the future. This does have world class potential, and if the Bay Link is ever built it would be a pivotal stop for tourists on their way to the beach. Good work on the blog.

I don't think people want the park to look like what it does now. It's rediculous to compare the park in its present state to what it could be w/o buildings. You show the park now next to the park w/ buildings AND landsaping. What about a park pic of now plus a park pic w/ landscaping. I think people want to preserve the park by only adding landscaping and sidewalks and lighting without two large museums taking up space. Where will the ultra music fest and other large outdoor downtown music festivals go once a lot of the space is covered w/ buildings? I doubt the people in Vancouver, Canada would want to open up museums in their large urban Stanley Park. The museums could be located in so many other spots. Why do they need to be on the waterfront. Miami should preserve its last remaining downtown open spaces as open spaces and build the museums mayber where the miami arena is or where they want to build the baseball stadium near govt. center. Why go to the waterfront park to sit in a building?
Anonymous says:
The Museums could go anywhere, we have this idea that we should give away public space for private entities case in point AA Arena. I agree with anonymous that if they put lights in there, maintained the park even slightly put in some nice trees and maybe some picnic tables, people would go. Since it's been closed to the public for so long and since homeless are the only people that occupy the park it is not very welcoming. Remove the old race track and make it welcome.
Dave says:
Fill in the little inlet, make it greenspace, then you can build the musuems as designed and increase greenspace in the process.
Anonymous says:
Filling in the inlet is foolish, the city just spent a lot of money fixing the baywall, that would be a huge waste of money.
Gabriel J. Lopez-Bernal says:
Yeah, I think the Inlet is an integral part of the park…I can envision future MDT waterborne services arriving at this point, along with local water taxi service…It could also serve as a waterborne museum space…
Anonymous says:
The inlet also divides the park from the AA Arena which is nice. There is also space behind the arena that was supposed to be used as a park, what happened to that idea?
Anonymous says:
I would like to see the model of the park including City Square, that will be a huge addition to the neighborhood removing several parking lots and replacing them with Giant Buildings.
Steven says:
One other aspect to consider is that the museum park plan is basically the only thing keeping a new stadium for the marlins from being considered for the site. If we build the museums, we get green space. If we don't, we get another stadium and no green space.
C.L. Jahn says:
First, it's ridiculous to claim that no one is complaining that the current state of the park is deplorable when in fact everyone is doing just that. The current park is a fine example of urban blight. People don't use it because it IS overrun with homeless people. And frankly, it doesn't LOOK like a park. it looks like a lot with a road over it. Everyone is basically in accord that the park must be drastically improved.
But there must be a logical limit to that improvement. One of my favorite parks was a little quiet patch on Flagler. Nestled among the buildings, it was a lovely place to go and eat lunch, tucked away from the traffic on the street. There was a nifty little sandwich stand there. Someone decided to expand it. Then it expanded again. Now the sandwich stand occupies the entire space.
I like museums. I spent some of my childhood outside Washington DC, and spend many weekends visiting various museums. Since that time, the number of museums has nearly doubled. And it's no problem in Washington, because the space for those museums had been set aside ages ago.
Unlike Performing Arts Centers or sports complexes, museums grow. They have to, as they collect more stuff to exhibit. I look at the plan, and it's very nice, but I can't help wondering what happens in 20 years when the museums need to double their floor space. You point out the pretty little model and cry "ONLY 20%!" I look at it and I see that the only place those museums can expand to in this plan is further into the park.
In 20 years, we will stop seeing this as a park with 20% of the space taken up by museums: we'll see the museums, and we'll see the park. And when your grandchildren expand those museums into the park, they'll cry "but we're only going to take 20% of the park! It's only 20%!"
Show me that future growth will absolutely not encroach more of the park. Show me a plan that goes beyond the pathetic excuse for planning that occurs in Miami and actually outlines the future of the park and the museums for the next century. Show me that, and I'll get behind the plan. But until you show me THAT plan, I will fight this one. It's very pretty, but it's shortsighted.

Recently I had one of those conversations that I guess every runner gets or will get at some point - yes the `injury & regret' conversation - "running is bad for the knees….you will regret it you know…".
Yeap had one of those, to be fair it didn`t start too well..
"Hey Kelv, are you still running THE MARATHON now that you are injured?"…
Of course I replied…."Yes, still running THE MARATHON (I hope they did mean London !), first run back this Saturday"
"Hope it goes well but I knew you were doing too much…..you know running is bad for you….bet you regret it now ?"
"Err no…. I really enjoyed those weeks, so not at all - I loved those weeks"
Those weeks I am referring to was when I ran;
9th Feb - Frimley Lodge parkrun - 21:06 (PB)
10th Feb - Wokingham Half - 01:38:00 (PB)
17th Feb - Bramley 20 - 1st 10M in 01:27:57 - 2nd 10M in 01:15:30 - 02:43:58 (PB)
23rd Feb - Moonlight Challenge - Ran all 32.75M - 05:44:11 (PB)
3rd March - Bramley 20 - Even Paced 9:00`s - 02:55:21
10th March - New Forest 50Km - Birthday Run - 05:53:20 (PB)
17th March - Fleet Half - So many great things about this race……
Not only did I have fun in those races - I love running that way but I learnt a heck of a lot about myself & those `self-limits` you put on yourself. So it was rather bizarre that I saw one of these motivational posters saying almost exactly that - have no regrets but like most of these banners they need maybe one more line….& learn from any experience…good or bad. No regrets.
*As for the `injury` - it`s a lot better so a few more days rest then the tester at Basingstoke parkrun this Saturday. I had always planned to go back to Basingstoke around this time to give the course `a bit of a go` - unsure what I`ll do now but it will be fun going back seeing so many friends again & running the course again…the best bit about finishing your parkrun - going for coffee with great company afterwards :-)
Have I minded these last two weeks of not running - not really. I have to say I`ve done a lot more Bikram yoga sessions - mainly for the calorie burn but the warm conditions must get the blood flowing & therefore (in my limited opinion) be good for sorting injuries / niggles out …I don`t mind carrying out more of this experiment.
Tomorrow (Good Friday) I`m off to watch & support runners at the Maidenhead Ten - hope it`s warmer than when I watched the runners at last Sunday`s Cranleigh 15 / 21…and I hope the `abuse` is better… :-0 (Need to find out where the nearest Costa Coffee is to Maidenhead :-) )
Next up racing wise - Saturday week - a return to the `Bolt round the Holt` - 21Km - and yes of course there is a slight twist…. as it may include running Frimley Lodge parkrun beforehand - one starts at 9.00am & the other starts at 10.00am plus a 26 mins journey time ……………..then `THE MARATHON` on the 21st April :-)
Happy running & enjoy...
Happy running & enjoy...
(Just cos I like the song)

Violet Oon's Singapore chicken curry
- 1 two-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 7 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 10 shallots, peeled and coarsely chopped
- ½ cup Singapore curry powder (see recipe)
- ½ cup water
- 1 chicken, cut into about 20 bite-size pieces
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups Thin Coconut Milk (see recipe)
- 1 pound small potatoes, peeled and halved
- 2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
- 1 loaf French bread, cut into serving slices
- Using a mortar and pestle, pound, in this order, the ginger, the garlic and the shallots until they are fine. The ingredients may also be finely ground in the container of a blender or food processor.
- Mix the curry powder with one-half cup water and blend to a paste. Mix half the curry paste with the pounded ginger, garlic and shallot mixture, and rub all over the chicken pieces. Marinate at least one-half hour.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over high heat. The oil should be very hot. Add remaining curry paste and fry for three to four minutes, or until paste is fragrant and turns a rich, dark brown.
- Add the marinated chicken and reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes, or until spices are cooked.
- Add the coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat. Add potatoes and salt, and cook over medium heat for 30 minutes, or until chicken is tender and potatoes cooked. Note that this dish is better the second day. If the curry will be reheated later, slightly undercook at this stage so that the potatoes do not become mushy. Traditionally, this dish is served with fresh hot French bread for soaking up the thick gravy.

Nearly a century has passed since the League of Nations appointed the first High Commissioner for Refugees, and the international community's treatment of such displaced persons has come a long way since. Millions have been displaced by conflict and persecution, but have also found protection in the form of refuge in another country or through the opportunity eventually to return safely to their own. This success, however, does not mean that the current system for handling refugees is sufficiently effective or accountable. That there are nearly 55 million forcibly displaced persons around the world is evidence enough of that. More than four million people have fled from the civil war in Syria, and nearly two million of them are now in Turkey.
In situations of mass displacement, the international community relies on individual states to shoulder the primary responsibilities of their care, and to extend hospitality to those who cannot risk remaining in their own countries. No state is obliged to help any other state that admits refugees. Hence, few, if any, provisions to assist nations that accept refugees and displaced persons are codified by law, leaving the costs of their safe harbor sit on a nation's own balance sheets. As a result, their reception of refugees frequently comes at a great cost, and with few, if any, assurances about how long the displaced people will stay.
By definition, the refugee problem is an international one: Every state that admits refugees acts on behalf of the international community in defense of fundamental human rights principles. In turn, asylum states are entitled to expect the support of others, whether it is through financial, political, or material aid, or ideally, through more active efforts to mitigate the problems that create refugees in the first place. Tragically, such support is rare, and the cost of caring for refugees is disproportionately borne by those nations that are least able to afford it. Most refugee-hosting countries are in politically unstable regions like the Middle East

Cofounder, Verge Genomics
While pursuing an MD/PhD at UCLA, Zhang was shocked to learn a fact every drug researcher knows all too well: 90% of medicines that start human studies fail. "It's still largely a guessing game," she says. Her startup, Verge Genomics, is the latest in a long line of biotechs that think merging the latest in computer science with new technologies for decoding the human genetic code can provide a solution. What's special: Verge has the guts to target Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, areas most drug companies have abandoned as hopeless. The seven-person startup raised $4 million from firms including IA Ventures and Draper Associates, and assembled advisors including Alzheimer's luminary Paul Aisen, Harvard biotech guru George Church, and the chief medical officer of the biotech firm Alkermes. Using machine-learning algorithms to understand networks of genes is an exploding scientific field. Maybe this time, it will work as a business.

Florida continues to rank among the half dozen states with the most uninsured adults, while 153,000 residents who do have health coverage are missing tax credits could lower their premiums, according to studies released Tuesday.
Florida ranked 45th in the percentage of adults with health coverage, according to an analysis by wallethub.com — with nearly 15 percent lacking coverage. Texas came in last with nearly 20 percent of adults uninsured. Massachussetts ranked first with 3.25 percent.
Meanwhile, about 153,000 Florida resident who purchase policies away from the marketplace created by the Affordable Care Act would be eligible for tax credits that tend to lower premiums, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services figures.
"We encourage everyone to check out their options on HealthCare.gov or their state Marketplace and see if they qualify for financial assistance," said HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell. "Marketplace consumers who qualify for financial assistance usually have the option to buy coverage with a premium of less than $75 per month."

The week before last, Paul Davis (owner of Alvord Ranch) called me and advised that I come down to the Alvord Dry Lake and take a look at the surface, as it had become rather rough.
That following Wednesday, John Drury and I flew down and landed on the lakebed to check it out. The rancher's son, Justin, drove down to the lakebed with a truck so we could drive all over the lakebed to check it out. The Southern most 3 miles is very smooth but at 3 to the 3.5 it starts getting rough, smooths out for little bit, then at the 4 mile it gets rough, like a washboard. From the 4 mile mark to the North end of the lakebed, it is too rough to run on. Past the 7 mile it also gets soft and the truck began sinking in and nearly got stuck.
The problem is that they have had no rain from last fall until now so it turns powdery and the wind blows it up into ripples (sand serpents). Until they get a substantial rainfall, then wind to blow it around to settle the surface plus a drying spell, it is not going to make a smooth surface to run on. That translates into a postponement until mother-nature fixes it.
In the mean time, I plan inspect the Diamond Valley lakebed in Nevada to see if it is useable. If it is useable, I'll push for getting a permit to run there. The last time I submitted a permit request and environmental analysis to the BLM, they were willing to provide a use permit, but only if I posted $37,480.00 into a BLM account for their use. As I have no idea at this time where I would find that kind of money, I'll have to keep pleading my case that the same permit at the Alvord Dry Lake is only $100.00. Either way, we're still making preparations to run the Eagle as soon as we get a lakebed to run on.
From November 4th to the 7th, the North American Eagle™ will be at the SEMA show (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association) in Las Vegas. With attendance normally around 100,000 people, the North American Eagle™ will have some great exposure. Be sure to continue to follow us through our social media pages, as we will be announcing an amazing new initiative during the SEMA show.
The North American Eagle™ team is also excited to be announcing a new sponsor within the coming month, one with whom we have been working closely on a series of new projects.

The Skies I'm Under
In 2012, I began escaping to the summerhouse at the bottom of my garden to allow all my memories and emotions to spill on to a page. Three years later, I self-published The Skies I'm Under. I hope it shares with you the reality of becoming the parent of a child with complex disabilities. I hope parents know they are not alone and practitioners can have a deeper understanding of what life is like for families like mine.
The Skies I'm under is a raw and honest account of becoming the parent of a child with complex disabilities. It's like an intricate tattoo of my heart on my sleeve that I'm sharing with the world.
For Professionals
I hope professionals who care for families like mine read The Skies I'm under and hear the heartbeat of world that lies beneath the clinical jargon.
For Parents
I hope that other parents like me read it and feel a little less alone. There are no wrong feelings and this is a hard road to tread but there are some beautiful views along the way.

Posted here, without comment -- well, not much, anyway -- is the transcript of a most remarkable segment of MSNBC's "Scarborough Country," featuring the quick-minded John Ridley vs. Jersey's own Steve Adubato, who has a nice head of hair.
SCARBOROUGH: It's unbelievable. And, you know, let me give you one more example of double standard, sort of these P.C. days. At a graduation ceremony at Howard University on Saturday, Oprah Winfrey said her grandmother told her she hoped, quote, "She would get some good white folks to work for her." And then Oprah said to that class, "I regret she didn't live past 1963 and see that I did get some really good white folks working for me."Sphere: Related Content
Steve Adubato, my gosh, just fill in—-pick the race, and just fill in a white person saying that about any other race, and that white person would be off the air, would they not?
ADUBATO: In a heartbeat, Joe. Oprah gets away with all kinds of things because, first of all, she's not disgusting, Opie and Anthony, trying to make a joke about what we were just talking about. But Oprah making a comment like this gets away with it because she's the queen of daytime television.
I have to tell you something. I was looking at some of these blogs, Joe. There are white folks across this country and others who are disgusted by what Oprah did, and I believe she thought, because she was at Howard University, a black university, that she could get away with it.
And the problem is, in this environment and the Internet, everybody got to see it. She should apologize for what she said. There was nothing funny about it. If a white person said it, they would be condemned, as they should. She should be. And because she's Oprah, she shouldn't get away with it.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, you know, though, John Ridley is laughing right now because he's got a white guy working for him every morning from 6:00 to 9:00 a.m.—John?
RIDLEY: Listen, Steve, I was with you two out of three. I was hoping to make it three out of three this time around. The only people who could be offended by this are white males who see the sun setting on their (inaudible) empire washing away.
ADUBATO: John...
RIDLEY: There was something on Media Matters today. You talk about double standards. There's a 9-1 ratio on news talk shows of white males to anyone else of another gender or color. The fact that the one black woman who really accomplished in media says, "You know what? It's a nice day and age because I was nice white focus who work with me." How many times do I have to hear, "John, you're a credit to your race"? "John, you're not like the other guys"? "John, it's so nice to have you here because you're so articulate"?
ADUBATO: John?
RIDLEY: Steve, I'm sorry...
ADUBATO: Respectfully, John...
RIDLEY: ... this is not her—this is not her trying to be funny.
This is her trying...
ADUBATO: Hey, John...
RIDLEY: ... to make a point about how far that she has come in the media.
ADUBATO: John, let me say this real quick.
RIDLEY: Say it real quick, and then we'll talk about double standards, and see what you can do about getting more people of color on the news talk shows, because I have two white guys on both sides of me talking about double standards.
ADUBATO: John, real quick.
RIDLEY: Yes, sir?
ADUBATO: Anyone who says you're a credit to your race, you're articulate, you understand what that means. That is totally inappropriate. That's disrespectful, but that has nothing to do with Oprah making a comment like that. Look, because she's not as egregious as the other clips we saw, John, doesn't mean that she can't step over the line and say something racially insensitive. I'm surprised you can't admit it.
RIDLEY: I'm saying, Steve—Steve, I'm saying is, this is what we live with constantly. And when the one time that white guys hear this, they're freaked out. She said, "I have nice white people that work with me."
ADUBATO: John, some of us are freaked out by any inappropriate comments that have to do with race.
RIDLEY: Steve...
ADUBATO: Whether it's Oprah or Opie and Anthony.
RIDLEY: Steve, the last time I was on this show, what did you quote to me? Dr. Martin Luther King, not Ayn Rand, not Nietzsche. You thought that the only thing I would understand is Dr. King.
ADUBATO: Oh, that's—wait a minute.
RIDLEY: It's all of these...
ADUBATO: John, I can't believe you just said that.
RIDLEY: It's these little things. Of course you can't believe I just said it.

Shaun looked over the edge of the rock to the lagoon below, where the sound of body hitting water had just reverberated. Eight metres doesn't sound like a long way, but it certainly looks it when you're standing that high above the water. Shaun looked around at the other people there, a group of people in their early twenties, joined by one social connection or another, gathered for a Saturday away from the worries of home, at the lagoon with eskies and fold-out chairs. He hoped they weren't all going to jump off the rock, because then he'd be forced to as well, and as much as he feared falling from that height, he feared even more standing at the edge with everybody else watching, edging centimetre by centimetre to the edge. He looked pretty safe though. Most people were standing around talking, not even looking interested in the lagoon. The weather wasn't really warm enough to send everyone rushing in for a swim.
Ally climbed out of the car. The surroundings were spectacular. They were at the top of a cliff, below them a beautiful blue lagoon, with trees as far as you could see. She could hear a couple of people already splashing around in the water. She took a quick survey of the people present. There were a few familiar faces from uni, a few she didn't know, and a couple she had met before at similar social gatherings. Standing near the edge of the cliff was Aaron's friend Shaun, looking very nervous. She smiled. She had met him a few times before, he was really smart, and really sweet. She walked up to say hi.
"You gonna jump in?"
"Oh hey Ally. Um, no probably not. The water looks nice, but it also looks a long way down. Are you?"
"Um… we'll see. Probably not."
Cloudy weather had meant she hadn't brought her swimmers, she wasn't even wearing nice underwear. There was, of course, another more subconscious reason for that; she wasn't very happy with how she looked in a bikini. Her skin was an unattractive shade of beige, in need of a good tanning session. There were pockets of flab where she wished there weren't, around her love handles and her thighs. With all these cute boys and cute girls around today, she thought it would be best to just play it cool.
Ally was a friend of Shaun's high school friend Aaron. He had met her at Aaron's house, and then a few times since. She came up and said hi. What did he say in reply? Something lame, his mind had gone blank. He hoped he didn't sound too stupid. Unlike most pretty girls though, Ally actually made you feel at ease rather than on edge. Her mouth would just crack open when she smiled, flashing her white teeth like sunlight gleaming on the water. When she spoke to you she would look deep into your eyes, as if she was actually listening to every word you said.
"How have you been, anyway?"
"Yeah, pretty good. Busy with uni."
"Have you been painting?"
"Not as much as I'd like. I started one, but haven't done much on it."
"How about you?"
"Same. I mean, without the painting. Pretty busy with uni."
She liked that he had asked about painting. Last time she had seen him they had a conversation about it. She said she loved painting, but was too embarrassed of her work to ever show anyone. He had said he just wished he could do anything creative. She wished the guys she routinely flirted with would take that much of an interest in what she actually cared about. She studied him for a second. He was so… fragile. Not in a sensitive-guy kind of way, but just devoid of the cocky bravado that characterised most guys' behaviour. It made you feel safe; safe to just be yourself; safe in the knowledge that he had no hidden motives, he meant what he said.
Ally wondered why she could feel this around Shaun, and yet there was no spark between them. He wasn't particularly good looking, but he wasn't ugly. Just kind of plain and like he didn't put any effort into how he looked. Some better clothes, some grooming, and he wouldn't be much different to any other guy. Maybe it was just that there was no thrill of the pursuit. He was just too nice, too sweet. You didn't have to tease him into liking you. It seemed a strange trade-off, all the time worrying about what guys thought about you; making sure you looked good and acted cool; all the conversations about whether he was into you or not. was that all really for fun? Because here she was, not needing to go through it all, yet there was no appeal. Maybe it was that she was worried about what other people would think. Her friends, or people who saw them together. What would they think? That she had settled for the nice, kind of nerdy guy because she couldn't play the game of pursuit? Because she couldn't get the cool guy? Maybe they wouldn't say it out loud, at least not to your face, but they would think something was wrong.
Shaun's heart beat a little faster when Ally spoke to him. He wasn't used to speaking to girls like her. He spoke to other girls sure, but with a girl like Ally it was like there was an invisible barrier between them. If they had been in high school together she probably wouldn't have known his name, she would have been with the popular, pretty girls, while he was with the unseen underclass. She would have been out partying while he studied or read. Shaun wondered about the barrier – intangible, but as real as if there was a brick wall between them. You could feel it in the rush he got when they spoke, like was peeking over the wall into a place where he wasn't allowed to go. You could see it in the fact that nobody, least of all Shaun, doubted that they could never be boyfriend and girlfriend. She was beautiful, and did what she wanted – had her nose pierced, wore clothes from the op shop and made them seem cool, studied an arts degree and didn't care whether it would get her a good job. He was plain, and constantly self-conscious – was he wearing, doing, saying the right thing? Was he getting the marks that he needed to? When they finished uni, she would go off travelling, live some bohemian dream. He would get an engineering job on the bottom of the ladder, and keep working hard until he was nearer the top. That was the wall between them. That was why when they did speak, he always had to check that he wasn't just imagining it.
"Do you know many people here?"
"Some. I went to high school with a few."
"I couldn't see that many people I know. Other than the guys I came with."
"Maybe more will come later, it's still pretty early."
"Yeah. It's a nice day, isn't it? Although it would be good if the sun came out."
"Well I might go see who else is here. It's nice to see you again Shaun."
"Yeah, you too."
"I'll see you later."
Before they left, they both took one more glance over the edge of the rock. It definitely held an allure, to leave the safety of solid ground for the unknown expanses of air and water below. But it would have to wait for another time.

2017 Peggy Kirk Bell Winner
Rafe Cochran named 2017 Peggy Kirk Bell Award Winner
PINEHURST, NC – Even though the great local golf icon Peggy Kirk Bell passed away in November, there is little doubt that she would embrace the giving and philanthropy of the 2017 winner, 12-year-old Rafe Cochran of Palm Beach, Florida. The rising 7th grader at Palm Beach Day School is this year's winner of the U.S. Kids Golf-sponsored Peggy Kirk Bell Award, in large part because he was moved by an overwhelming need of poor Haitian and Jamaican families and acted in his own special way to try and make things better for them.
That is big stuff for a young man, says Delane Bailey-Herd, Senior Field Representative for FOOD FOR THE POOR, one of the largest international relief and development organizations in the nation. Bailey-Herd nominated Rafe and said she had "had the opportunity to see the needs as well as the power of transformation through the efforts of remarkable individuals such as Rafe."
"Rafe finds time for humanitarianism and incorporates this in his daily life to help empower the poor, and specifically poor students," said Bailey-Herd. "He started using his talents at age nine to help families and children in need and raised enough money to build three homes in Haiti. Through his continuing efforts, he has raised more than $100,000 to build an additional six double-unit homes in Haiti for desperately poor and homeless families through the Rafe Cochran Golf Classic in partnership with our organization.
"He has also funded the construction of a school in Jamaica for disadvantaged students, providing them an educational environment conducive for learning. He wants to help break their cycle of poverty and prepare them for the future."
Dan Van Horn saluted Cochran with this statement.
"Peggy Kirk Bell has been an inspiration to young golfers for many years," stated Dan Van Horn, Founder and President for U.S. Kids Golf. "We could not have chosen a better representative for this award than Rafe Cochran. U.S. Kids Golf proudly recognizes young golfers for their exemplary service to their community and world. This young man embodies Peggy Kirk Bell's heartwarming character, philanthropic spirit, and passion for the game of golf. We congratulate Rafe for receiving this year's award."
Rafe learned about the Peggy Kirk Bell Award from attending the U.S. World Championship several years ago. His incentive to apply was to show that you're never too young to make a difference and appreciates that it brings awareness to kids doing positive things for others.
Rafe began preparing for his future at age six, by taking golf lessons in Palm Beach, where he lives with his parents Diahann and Jay. He says he was 'hooked' on golf.
"I really am self-motivated when it comes to golf. No one is telling me to play or practice; I just love it!" Rafe acknowledged. "My coach, Bobby Collins, has been a big influence with me, teaching me all aspects of the game, mental and physical, and the importance of sportsmanship, competition and of course, technique."
Apparently, he is also self-motivated when it comes to helping families and children in Haiti and Jamaica, having made a donation sheet for the U.S. Kids Golf events that he played in, asking for a certain amount for pars, birdies, eagles and a hole in one. The first three Haitian homes were built with the $18,000 he raised in his inaugural fundraising attempt.
He feels that education is the key to ending poverty and achieving success and knows that the Jamaican school will give them a solid start to gaining their goals.
"I will 100% stick to working with Food For The Poor on projects I am passionate about," said the honor student. "I hope my annual golf charity event will grow bigger and bigger each year in order to provide funding to help people less fortunate around the world. I plan to continue to raise more money."
His plans include studying hard in order to get into a top university, such as Stanford, and hopefully play on their golf team. He sees himself with a future career in golf. Ironically, it was difficult for him to put together his dream foursome, but for various reasons, it was a generationally-interesting group: Jack Nicklaus, for greatness and wisdom; Jordan Spieth for being such a positive role model; and his golf coach Collins because he would like to share the day with him for being a fun, talented golfer in his own right.
For such a golf-involved young man, he points out that neither parent of this only child plays golf. He does come from a close, caring and supportive family whose relatives are sports-minded. His father is a professional racecar driver, his aunt is a two-time world champion windsurfer, and a cousin is on the US Junior Olympic snowboarding team. A great-grandfather is a former number one world polo player and has been inducted into the Polo Hall of Fame.
Rafe prefers surfing, fishing, tennis and art when he's not playing golf, but he does practice golf every day.
"The best part of my game in my short game, putting and chipping," he pointed out. "The part that I would like to improve is my length. However, that will improve with my growth and size."
Bailey-Herd, his friend at FOOD FOR THE POOR, puts his growth and size in another context.
"He is a hope-giver who is positioned to become a world-changer, one community at a time as evidenced by his efforts thus far," she said. "Rafe impresses me with his dedication and commitment to bringing continued hope and relief to those economically depressed and discarded. He will continue to provide opportunities where none exists."
About the Peggy Kirk Bell Award
Peggy Kirk Bell is widely considered to be one of the founders and catalysts of women's golf in America. Peggy played professionally and won the Titleholder's Championship in 1949. She is best known for her dedication to teaching the game of golf to women, and in 2002, she became the first woman inducted into the World Golf Teachers Hall of Fame. Ms. Bell resided in Pinehurst, North Carolina, where she could be found on most days at the Pine Needles Resort, which is affectionately known as the "Home of Women's Golf."
Peggy Kirk Bell was a pioneer, a champion and an icon. But more importantly, she was our friend. We honor her passing this past November with a renewed passion and commitment to celebrate great players on the golf course and even more, great citizens within our communities. And in that spirit, we will continue honor her memory and contributions in perpetuity with this award in the years to follow.
Since 2007, the Peggy Kirk Bell Award has been presented to one young golfer that has demonstrated outstanding philanthropy and inspiration through their efforts on and off the golf course. Past winners have varied from our first recipient, Kyle Lagrasso, who at age 5 competed in the World Championship despite battling a rare form of cancer known as retinoblastoma (and losing an eye to it at age 2) – to last year's honoree, Avery Zweig, who galvanized an entire army of young golfers to raise money for individuals battling life-threatening illnesses.
About U.S. Kids Golf
U.S. Kids Golf, LLC is based in Atlanta and manufactures equipment and related golf products designed for kids. It was created in 1997 when Founder/CEO Dan Van Horn found that his children were losing their interest in golf due to not having the proper equipment.
In addition to more than 4,000 golf shops and retail locations in the United States, the company's products also are available in over 75 countries worldwide.
The U.S. Kids Golf Foundation, a Georgia non-profit recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity, was created in 2001 and provides services that include competition and instruction. The Foundation organizes more than 1,200 golf tournaments for kids each year with over 15,000 individual players ages 5-18.
These tournaments include Local Tours in over 60 cities worldwide, nine U.S.–based Regional Championships, seven international multi-day tournaments which includes the prestigious European Championship, and the pinnacle events held each year in Pinehurst, North Carolina, the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship and Teen World Championship.
The vision of the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation is to provide kids and their families the opportunity to participate in the game of golf through instruction and competition. They believe that family interaction is critical in the development of young golfers and encourage parents to serve as caddies for their kids during tournaments and to develop positive coaching techniques.

The headrest section of Perfect Chair will pivot forward to provide the correct angle for head support and an adjustable neck pillow can be placed behind the neck to keep the neck itself in alignment.

The idea was to dress her up like a Treasure Troll. You know. These guys:
It was supposed to be SUPER easy. Gel and hairspray her hair to stick up straight, stick a jewel in her belly, and call it good.
Except the more I sprayed and messed with her hair, the worse it looked.
It's just way too long and fine to stand up like that.
Then there was the matter of getting the jewel to stay put. Mila's reaction to my efforts? "Mama put something fun to play with in my belly button! I will pull it out and play with it! Hooray for new toys!"
I even tried having her lay down so I could make her hair look like it was standing on end and maybe gravity could keep that dang jewel in her belly button. No such luck. Kiddo rolled around and thought it was hilarious.
The costume I thought would be the easiest (and possibly most awesome, Hulk Hogan notwithstanding) was by far the biggest flop. Alas. We'll try again tomorrow.
(Troll doll or not, she's still pretty dang precious, don't you think?)

Heather DeAtley, Contributor to Moving, for You: A Tribute to Empathy
I'll never forget the deep sigh I experienced after hearing these words in Hebrew:
ושוויתי אדוני לנגדך תמיד . Vishiviti adonai lenegdahach tamid.
To see God in front of you always.
It was an invitation to let go of old narratives that were no longer my own. Old stories I had inherited that used to have such power over me, just fell away.
Shortly after, I was inspired to write these words:
swoon, rally, and ignite. this life, this world is worth the fight. --IP
A new beginning thus began.

Babydoll dress - Primark
Hi guys, I wore this outfit when I went to visit the Eiffel tower. I wore a babydoll dress that I purchased from Primark. The dress has a beautiful back detail that I love, It makes the dress look a bit edgy. The sandals are also from Primark. I forgot where I got my necklace from but I have linked similar ones above. The Eiffel tower was so beautiful. We spent the whole day there taking pictures, eating ice cream and just enjoying our self. I remember that day being the hottest day out of the 6 days I was there for.
Thank you everyone for reading and good luck with everyone that has gone back to school and uni. I'll see you on my next post, bye

I am vowing to get back to my sock knitting because:
a) I love handmade socks because they fit me
b) They are a much more portable project
c) Socks are a quick knit -- a sense of accomplishment
d) I have boxes of stashed sock yarn that needs to be used -- well, I am using it for shawlettes
e) Realistically, how many shawlettes can one person wear
f) I LOVE SOCKS! Wear them daily....
Photo is of a pair that has been in the works for some time. Sock one is done and sock two is well on its way. Love how they match. Goal is to finish shawlette this weekend and then this sock is next project, along with two summer baby hats which in DK weight yarn won't take long...photos of them in a week or so.

MACC improve to 18-0 with opening region win
The #4 Nationally ranked Greyhound's Men's Basketball Team defeated Three Rivers CC 88-77 Saturday evening at the Fitzsimmons-John Arena in their opening NJCAA Region 16 contest. Moberly jumped out to an early 23-10 lead behind three pointers by guard Delfinkco Bogan. After Three Rivers trimmed the lead to 29-24, Moberly rallied behind sophomore guard Brandon Better to lead 50-36 at the half.
The lead never got below 8 points the second half as Moberly held off Three Rivers behind the strong offensive player of wing Mar'Qywell Jackson. Jackson led Moberly in scoring with 24 points (8-9 from the FT line), Bogan had 20 points and Better added 15 points. Three Rivers was led in scoring by sophomore guard Cameron Reedus with 25 points while Gabe Grant had 21 points and Terrance Parker with 12 points.
Moberly improved to 18-0 with the victory and also 1-0 in Region 16 competition, as well as 2-0 in the MCCAC Conference. Three Rivers dropped to 15-5 and 1-2 in region 16. "We came out really strong and set the tempo early vs. a very good Three Rivers club," said Coach Patrick Smith
"Our region is simply by far the best I have seen in my eight seasons in Region 16. Three Rivers did a good job of hanging in there the second half but I'm proud of our guys for getting enough defensive stops and scoring enough to keep the margin relatively comfortable. Now it's onto the next game and staying in the present."

About Dictating Text to Word with NaturallySpeaking
The simplest way to think about dictating with Natural Language Commands is that you can work with your favorite documents in their natural settings. Word and WordPerfect have similar commands, so most of the examples will work for both.
Here are a few points to remember about dictating:
Don't panic if Undo That doesn't seem to completely restore an error. Speak the command again. You may have to repeat the command several times to restore things as they were.
Many NaturallySpeaking commands are actually multiple commands as far as your word processor is concerned. Undo That only undoes one Word or WordPerfect command at a time.
NaturallySpeaking's idea of a paragraph isn't exactly the same as Word's or WordPerfect's idea. When you create a paragraph with the New Paragraph command, NaturallySpeaking (in effect) presses the Enter key twice. That action creates two paragraphs! (In Word, click the Paragraph [¶] button on the toolbar to see the paragraph marks.) To get a single Word or WordPerfect paragraph, you must use the command New Line.
After a New Paragraph command, Dragon capitalizes the first letter of the next sentence. After a New Line command, Dragon does the same, but only if the last sentence ended in a period or question mark.

No one has to tell you there's a difference between being 25 and 65. Indeed, just about everything in your life changes from decade to decade, as you progress from college-age concerns through marriage, raising a family, working and aging. Health, of course, is a big change-agent. Ask any 50-year-old with an achy back or hot flashes.
Most women want to stay young, pretty and healthy as long as possible. We all want to look our best, but it's is important that each woman know that a healthy body is not always linked to what society tells us is a "beautiful" appearance.

by Bart Cochran
On Tuesday, July 18, I was arrested in Washington, DC and charged with section 22-1307 of the DC criminal code: "crowding, obstructing, or incommoding." How did this happen to a small town UCC minister from Western Massachusetts?
Like many of us, I have become increasingly concerned about the issue of health care, particularly as it affects the poor and disabled in our country. Drastic cuts to Medicaid, the federal healthcare insurance program for the poor and disabled, have been proposed by the current Administration and are being considered by Congress. This means that almost 300,000 poor and disabled adults and children in Massachusetts are in danger of losing their health insurance and access to care, with another 37,000 Massachusetts elderly covered under Medicaid also losing that benefit, according the most recent computations from the Congressional Budget Office. Watching this situation unfold in the news has been distressing to me and my family. I was becoming increasingly uncomfortable about the treatment of the poor and disabled in the Congressional effort to eliminate the Affordable Care Act and decided I could no longer remain silent. When I learned of the call to moral resistance and civil disobedience issued by a coalition of faith groups that included Repairers of the Breach (formed by Rev. William Barber and others), Red Letter Christians, and Faith in Public Life, I jumped in my car and drove to DC to join them. On July 18, our coalition coordinated with the National African American Clergy Network's Day of Advocacy on Capitol Hill, where we rallied to hear statements and prayers from African American clergy, and were addressed by Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA). We then proceeded to protest, preach and pray at Senator Mitch McConnell's office where we were placed under arrest.
We gathered in moral dissent over the plan in Congress to kill the Affordable Care Act and replace it with nothing, leaving vulnerable people without health insurance and access to care. Rev. Barber urged those of us who are called to proclaim and embody God's Word to "put on our clerical robes, take up our holy books, and speak truth in the public square." He stated:
Altogether, 29 clergy and people of faith were arrested that day. My group of 11 was escorted out of the Russell Senate Office Building by the Capitol Police who were courteous and respectful to all the protestors. We were turned over to the DC Metropolitan Police and placed in a police van for transport to the processing facility. Each of us posted collateral of $50 and was released within several hours. As we got out, members of our group who had elected not to participate in civil disobedience met us outside the police station with water and sandwiches. It was an exhausting day, but exhilarating for all of us. We were filled with the presence of the Holy Spirit and the joy of fellowship.
"The language of left versus right is far too puny to describe the moral stakes of this death bill. The proposed deconstruction of Medicaid may be the largest transfer of wealth away from the poor since the labor of enslaved Africans was stolen with federal protection. Claiming to be "pro-life" while actively working to take health care from 22 million working poor people is hypocrisy and sin. To do this knowing that people will die is a form of political violence and political murder. It is hypocrisy, and it is sin."

No updates for the recent months due to studio relocation and renovation while trying to keep up with all the current projects. Quite a feast. Fortunately, all's good now and AK-ART is back in full swing.
In October, AK-ART was present at a conference 'Future of creating' held in Wroclaw, Poland to touch base with the latest technologies and software. It was a good opportunity to hone 3D skills at in-depth workshops with Autodesk specialists, check the newest 3D printings and CAD tools. It was interesting to see AK-ART's logo during introductory presentation as one of the official users of PCC's software (Autodesk Golden Partner and the conference organizer as well as providers of the latest software and hardware for my studio). Who knows, maybe during the next edition, I'll drop by as one of the presenters to share some workflow tips.

That's my precious little cheeseburger pictured here. I also have the cutest little baby bat you've ever seen. We are enjoying Halloween and have been practicing our "Trick or Treat//Does that have nuts in it?//Thank you!" lines for weeks. But I have been having some scheduling issues with another holiday that falls on Oct. 31: Reformation Day. I'm Lutheran, so this is a big day for us. We like to throw parties to celebrate and sing songs about salvation by God's grace. It's what we do. Reformation Day parties and Halloween parties are a hard combination for parents of little children, though, and we've had to do some fancy work with the scheduling. I figured it was just a Lutheran problem until I saw a few stories that indicated the scheduling conflict was more widespread.
Bruce Nolan at the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports on a parish that's moving Halloween from Oct. 31 to Nov. 1. Livingston Parish says that people who trick-or-treat outside of the hours 6-8 on that day will be fined. The story explains that the parish has dealt with the issuer repeatedly over the years and that this was the law that developed, but not without dissent:
All this has attracted the attention of the American Civil Liberties Union, which Friday dispatched a letter to parish officials telling them they were violating neighbors' constitutional rights to walk their streets and ask for candy any day they pleased, as well as the religious freedom of anyone wanting to celebrate Halloween as a religious feast -- although trick-or-treating is not part of Wiccans' observance of the day.
Mark Oppenheimer and Kim Severson at The New York Times expanded the theme by looking at other scheduling issues. Some areas might have moved trick-or-treating to Saturday night except that folks didn't want to mess with college football watching plans. Other areas simply have a desire to avoid trick-or-treating on nights before school is in session. Here is my favorite chunk of the story, which deals with a county in Georgia's decision to move the festivities to Saturday:
The Savannah mayor, Otis S. Johnson, who was at a Monday news conference where officials suggested the switch, said that as a lifelong resident of the city, he could not remember another time anybody complained about Halloween on a Sunday. But he said he supported the decision.
"Sunday is the Christian Sabbath," Mr. Johnson said. "But also since celebrating Halloween normally takes place at night, and the Jewish Sabbath ends at sundown, we would not be disrespecting their Sabbath either. And Muslims celebrate their prayer on Friday. So if there were religious concerns, we have covered all of them!"
Mr. Johnson's reasoning was not good enough for a Savannah Morning News columnist, Tom Barton, who wrote on Wednesday that Mr. Johnson had violated the Linus Rule, after the Peanuts character who once said, "There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."
"The county's top elected officials ignored this sage advice Monday," Mr. Barton wrote. He added: "Saturday night is the absolute worst night for extracurricular candy-bar grubbing. As everyone who has gone beyond Sesame Street knows, Saturday is reserved as the night when Savannah's adults go out and do stupid things (think partying, clubbing, driving drunk and fighting over girlfriends and baby daddies at 24-hour IHOPs)."
There's much more meaty discussion of religion, too, such as how seventh-day Christians (who observe a Saturday sabbath) are affected by changing to Saturdays and how Roman Catholics are affected by a move forward into All Saints Eve.
There was one Halloween story that was a bit confusing to me. From the Associated Press, It's about how a small Native American community called Jemez Pueblo has banned trick-or-treating due mostly to safety concerns but also because it's "a holiday that's not part of pueblo culture." I was hoping to find out more about exactly how this holiday conflicts with the tribe's culture. We're told that they "deeply embrace" their traditions, including their unique language and adobe beehive-shaped outdoor ovens. Trick-or-treating only came to the group a few decades ago:
[Jemez Pueblo Gov. Joshua] Madalena said the ban is supported by the Tribal Council and pueblo religious leaders.
"Their words of wisdom is what we need to continue to promote our traditional ways and values to our children, to educate them on our ways and customs, our dances and our songs," Madalena said. ...
The leaders instead want to stress All Souls Day Nov. 2, which pays respect to loved ones who have died.
"We pay tribute to our ancestors, we pay tribute to our family members that have passed on to the other world, and we ask blessings from them," Madalena said.
So the traditional culture includes a celebration of All Souls Day? What exactly is this traditional culture that rejects Halloween but embraces All Souls Day? The actual religious views of the tribe aren't mentioned. The reader who submitted this story thought it would be an excellent hook for discussing syncretism. He also said, "it seems some aspects of Christian culture have been traditionalized while others have been rejected. To me, at least, that's a fascinating starting point for a piece on how religions are constantly reshaped by outside forces." Halloween is pretty foreign to my religious culture, although the less demon-crazed it's become, the more acceptable. But still, this does call out for a bit more information and more substantive treatment.

Retro Game Consoles – Amiga CD32
Amiga CD32
Commodore was not able to meet demand for new units because of component supply problems. The success of the CD32 in Europe was not enough to save Commodore, and the bankruptcy of Commodore International in April 1994 caused the CD32 to be discontinued only months after its debut.
Technical Specs
The Amiga CD32 was powered by the Motorola 68EC020 processor running at 14.3MHz, which is similar to the 68020, but with a few options dialled down. Memory was divided in to three main areas: 2MB Chip RAM, designed for graphics access only; 1MB for the operating system and 1KB of flash memory.
Above: Amiga CD32 motherboard
The graphics were powered by the Amiga's customer graphics chipset known as the Advanced Graphics Architecture (AGA). This is the same chipset used in the Amiga 1200 and Amiga 4000.
It features a pallet of 16.7 million colors with no more than 262144 on screen at one time. The highest resolution is 1280 x 512, but this was never used for gaming due to the limited number of colors.
The Amiga CD32 has 4 voices in stereo using 8-bit resolution. The game console offered enough ports to allow the Amiga CD32 to be converted into a full featured Amiga 1200 computer. Third party vendors sold 3.5 inch floppy drives keyboard and other devices to support the Amiga 32 as a computer. It is ironic that after year of trying to fight the image of a game machine, that once Commodore released a game computer, people find a way to convert it back to a computer.

Our first chart under, drawing on information published in the Digest of Education Statistics: 2010 reveals the answer! For our blog, we interviewed a sample group of peers and adults, to get data to evaluate prior research and statistics relating to our project to develop a national view for our project. Customized calculators, as opposed to the standard a single developed by the Department of Education, would probably give a extra accurate cost estimate to students because they could ask extra inquiries and calculate fees primarily based on a more school-certain formula.
Most of the students that completed the survey described that the explanation why they decided to go to college was for the reason that it was required for their career. The Times Higher Education Planet University Rankings, published by the British magazine Occasions Larger Education, score universities according to business earnings (innovation), international diversity, teaching (learning atmosphere), investigation (volume, income, and reputation), and citations (analysis influence). Campus bookstores do not give students a break and only invest in back books at a fraction of the price.

To examine the association between metabolic deregulation and pancreatic cancer, we conducted a two-stage case–control targeted metabolomics study using prediagnostic sera collected one year before diagnosis in the Women's Health Initiative study. We used the LC/MS to quantitate 470 metabolites in 30 matched case/control pairs. From 180 detectable metabolites, we selected 14 metabolites to be validated in additional 18 matched case/control pairs. We used the paired t test to compare the concentrations of each metabolite between cases and controls and used the log fold change (FC) to indicate the magnitude of difference. FDR adjusted q-value < 0.25 was indicated statistically significant. Logistic regression model and ROC curve analysis were used to evaluate the clinical utility of the metabolites. Among 30 case/control pairs, 1-methyl-l-tryptophan (L-1MT) was significantly lower in the cases than in the controls (log2 FC = −0.35; q-value = 0.03). The area under the ROC curve was 0.83 in the discrimination analysis based on the levels of L-1MT, acadesine, and aspartic acid. None of the metabolites was validated in additional independent 18 case/control pairs. No significant association was found between the examined metabolites and undiagnosed pancreatic cancer.

Have you ever caught yourself grinding your teeth and wondered why you're doing it? Has your dentist ever mentioned to you that you're grinding your teeth and you never noticed? Here's some simple solutions for you to stop grinding your teeth straight from our Kirkland, Washington dental practice.
Teeth grinding, or Bruxism in medical terminology, can happen for a variety of reasons with or without your knowledge. How can this happen without your knowledge? If you're grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw in your sleep or when you're stressed, you may not notice that you are in fact doing this.
To help you recognize when you're grinding your teeth, and to help you stop, we've compiled this list of common causes for you.
Strong Emotions
such as anxiety or stress are common causes of teeth grinding. If you've ever heard the phrase "bite your tongue," this is similar. Often times you cant' take out your stress or anxiety, so you literally clamp down on your jaw to keep it in.
How to Stop: It's important to find another protective way to relieve the stress or anxiety. Aggressive options include kickboxing or going for a run. If lower key is more your style, you can try yoga or meditation, or both since they go hand-in-hand quite often.
Abnormal Tooth Alignment
can also cause teeth grinding for many reasons, including adjusted bit patterns that conform to your tooth alignment.
How to Stop: This is a more difficult fix. You'll want to talk to your dentist or orthodontist for options on correcting your tooth alignment and bite. They may recommend braces.
They could also potentially provide you with less extensive options for protecting your teeth.
Sleep Disorders
such as sleep apnea can also contribute to teeth grinding. Some sleep disorders can be quite serious and will need to be treated by a specialist.
How to Stop: Based on your diagnosis, your dentist could recommend different options for protecting your teeth in your sleep, like mouth guards that go over a molar and keep your jaw separated in your sleep.
It's also possible that treating your sleep disorder will alleviate the teeth grinding and clenching that occurs when you're deep into your dreams.
Diet and Lifestyle Choices
such as smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking caffeine or even illegal substances can increase bruxism. Aside from the damage done to your teeth by grinding, most of these have other side effects to your skin, gums, hair, nails and internal organs.
How to Stop: Eliminate the external stimulant from your body by stopping your consumption. (We do not recommend any patients stop taking a prescription medication without speaking with their physician first). If you stop grinding your teeth, you know what was causing the bruxism.
Grinding your teeth can cause irreparable damage to your teeth, including cracks and worn enamel. If you or your dentist finds that you are grinding your teeth, follow their treatment advise.

#fuck knows. Felt like it.
#Thoughts and theories
#Cranking these out quickly
I wonder.
Posted by CruelNebula - Filed in Anime - 717 views
Sometimes I wonder.
Why am I so hopeful?
How do i constantly see the good in people? despite...how the world so desperately wants me to forever see the bad.
I have all the reason to hate everything. and Yet I don't
Is it because I've lost so much? but if i was any other person...that'd make me distant...Angry at the world of "My circumstances"
In truth, I guess it's because I don't want to be like that.
I don't want to be angry
I don't want to be depressed
I don't want to be the guy that forever closes off everyone and yet will still dream of being understood.
I want to be open
I want people to see
that sure it isn't easy
But I have to be me...
Because why lie?
Why pretend?
What's the point?
who am I pretending for?
Who am i hiding from?
Does any care about masks?
No ones.
So why wear one?
I'm tired.
So very tired.
I wish I was in the right mind to elaborate
But i'm exhausted.
I see all reasons
and None of them stick
Dare claim ones life is harder
Dare claim ones circumstances are more crippling
and I will silence that myth.
Within seconds.
I'm tired
so very tired.

Preparing tax-filing materials for your small business should be a year-round process, but there are some things companies can do particularly during tax-return season to ensure they maximize their deductions.
The pros come out each year with lists to help companies on this issue, so we rounded up some of their best recommendations for you.
Know your deductions
Businesses can deduct all "ordinary and necessary" business expenses from their revenues to reduce taxable income. These include:
- Equipment
- Furniture
- Home office
- Insurance premiums
- Social Security
- Business travel
- Salaries
- Rent
- Building improvements
- Trips that mix business with personal activities, as long as more than half of the trip is devoted to business
- Business losses
On some of these items, you will have the option to deduct 100 percent of the cost in the year of purchase, or to spread the deduction over several years. Decide which would be the best option for you in the long term.
Remember Affordable Care Act tax credits
Certain small businesses can receive a tax credit of up to 35 percent of the health-care premiums they paid to cover their workers. On next year's return, the credit will increase to 50 percent.
Sales taxes
- Make sure you know your sales-tax responsibilities in all states where you are doing business, according to the small-business counseling organization SCORE.
- Most products and some services are taxable. Business owners selling a product or service that is subject to sales tax must register with the state tax department and track both taxable and nontaxable sales on their tax returns.
- If you do not have a physical presence in another state but sell items online or by catalog in that state, you could be subject to a state's use tax.
Deducting loans
- Most business loans are not considered income.
- If a creditor or lender reduces your debt, you will owe taxes on the forgiven amount.
- Make sure to deduct the fees and interest you pay on your loan, but not the principle.
- Be prepared to prove that the assets and expenditures you financed with the loan are necessary for operating your business.
"If you feed the goose, you are putting money into something that's going to produce a long-term gain for you, and anything you can do to that end is usually tax-deductible," said Robert Gellman, managing director at the San Diego-based accounting firm CBIZ MHM. "So if you focus on building value -- from personnel and a new coat of paint to new carpet -- usually you're going to get paid back for that expenditure."

Renter's Guide to Cambridge
Cambridge is home to two of the world's most prestigious universities: Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). These two schools along with their students and staff fill this town that lies just north of Boston. Cambridge's name is fitting, since its origins come from a prominent university in the UK based in Puritan theology. This city carries a small town flair that is both unique and appealing.
Cambridge is the fifth most populated city in Massachusetts. Some refer to Cambridge as, the "City of Squares," due to the sheer number square-shaped neighborhoods and communities. The city is a quick 15-minute drive from Boston, an hour-and-a-half from Concord, New Hampshire, and three-and-a-half hours from New York City. If you don't like the cold, Cambridge might not be the best place for you. The area experiences very cold winters, with most winter days at or below freezing. Summers are humid and warm, not usually getting much hotter than 80°F but with a high level of humidity.
Cambridge is ranked number one by Sperling's Best Places for "Most Competitive Private Colleges," which makes sense due to Harvard and MIT being located in Cambridge. Sperling also ranked Cambridge as the number one "Safest City for Families with Young Children".

Living in Cambridge, MA
Cambridge is very close to Boston, but still manages to have a small and tight-knit feel. The Boston metropolitan area has done a wonderful job at preserving the history of different localities, as well as the original housing structures. This makes housing in Cambridge very appealing, but also more expensive. Cambridge has a lot to offer in terms of arts and culture, as well as a highly educated populace. A few drawbacks to living in Cambridge is the high cost of living, the constant traffic and city sprawl, and an economy that ebbs and flows.
Cambridge is predominantly white and is also one of the most liberal-leaning cities in the nation. The city is about two thirds white, 15% Asian, 11% African American and 7% Hispanic. Livability named Cambridge #2 on "The Top 10 Healthiest Cities," based on the city's walkability rating, recreational opportunities and the doctor-to-patient ratio.
