Spanish team fought for the winner's Delaunay cup. The game was successful for Spain, it defeated the Czechs. And late in the evening in Lyon, Italy competed with Belgium. Our column "Euro 2016 Chronicles" will tell you everything that happened during the day in the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament.
Match of the day
Belgium - Italy. Antonio Conte recognized that Belgium might look very respectable, but Italy was more successful and more experienced. Belgians showed a good game, and two missed goals indicated that they deservedly lost.
Goal of the day
Here we have an amazing combination of the Irish and the Swedes. Seamus Coleman went down the right wing to the front line and gently pushed the ball in the area of the penalty point. Wes Hoolahan was already there; he spectacularly shot Isaksson.
Save of the day
Thibaut Courtois has saved his team for several times. Immobile and Pelle would exactly remember their unrealized moments.

Surprise of the day
The best attack of the Euro 2016 - I mean Belgium – did not result into a goal in the match against Italy. Buffon took everything, and where he was powerless, the ball flew over.
Disappointment of the day
The Spanish team did not show its title game. One error in the defense decided everything, and the Spaniards did not show their strongest advantages. If they have them, of course.
Гол! Испанцы таки забили!! 1:0! #ESPCZE pic.twitter.com/gCZMOeBCtf— SPORT.TUT.BY (@sporttut) June 13, 2016
Fight of the day
Thank God, today in France, there were no fights out of the field. But on a green lawn, one squabble definitely happened. The Irish and the Swedes made a good get-together and did not even hesitate to beat each other's legs. As it often happens, the fate awarded the fighters equally.
Shock of the day
Belgium has a very fashionable team. Radja Nainggolan came with a new hairdo, Marouane Fellaini supported him, and Origen has dyed his hair. It did not help them to win though.
Mistake of the day
A few hours after the match Poland vs. Northern Ireland one of the British fans died in France. 24-year-old fan died after falling from a railing at Castel Plage, on the Promenade des Anglais. According to local law enforcers, the fan was drunk, and he fell down on the stony beach. Yeah.
Photo of the day
Black clouds over the Stadium of Light in Lyon. Crimson sunset.
Hero of the day
Gianluigi Buffon is 38 years old, and he had come to Euro 2016 not as a tourist. He is soul and heart of Italy. The fantastic game he did not leave a chance for Belgians.
Anti-hero of the day
Ciaran Clark was marked with the first own goal in this Euro. In an attempt to interrupt the transfer of Ibrahimovic in the penalty area, he sent the ball into his own net. So the score was 1:1, and Ireland has lost the victory.

Mr. Fuji (Japanese: フジろうじん Elder Fuji) is a kind old man who lives in Lavender Town.
In the games
Mr. Fuji looks after abandoned and orphaned Pokémon at the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House in Lavender Town. He subscribes to Pokémon Fan Magazine. It is revealed that he is not a native of Lavender Town. Mr. Fuji is supposedly shy. Mr. Fuji wishes for the happiness of all Pokémon. He cares for the Cubone that Team Rocket orphaned. He is a close friend of Blaine, as indicated by a portrait in the Cinnabar Gym in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
In the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, when members of Team Rocket killed Marowak at Pokémon Tower, Mr. Fuji marched up to their hideout and started to rant about how Team Rocket was abusing Pokémon. Later, Mr. Fuji went to the Pokémon Tower to calm the Marowak's restless spirit, but Team Rocket appeared and held him hostage until the player drove them out of the tower. In gratitude, Mr. Fuji gives the player a Poké Flute.
In Pokémon Emerald, there are a series of messages left at Faraway Island where a wild Mew can be found. The messages warn that only someone pure of heart will ever see Mew. The author's name is smudged but the remnant ジ ji is still readable in the Japanese version.
In the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Mr. Fuji does not have a prominent role. He is found in the House of Memories paying respects to the deceased Pokémon there. In the house, there are hidden chambers that only Mr. Fuji has access to.

In the manga
In Pokémon Adventures
Mr. Fuji first appears in Sigh for Psyduck, when he meets Red in Lavender Town, on his way to pay his respects to his Doduo's grave. Mr. Fuji invites Red to his house and tells about the Pokémon Tower and the ghosts in there. Because of them, he cannot bury his Pokémon in a proper place. Red sees a photo of Blue with Mr. Fuji, who tells him that the lad went to the Pokémon Tower to defy the presence of any ghosts, which makes Red willing to go there as well. Once Blue defeats Koga and the truth about the ghosts is revealed to the citizens of Lavender Town, Mr. Fuji can finally take his deceased Pokémon to rest at the Pokémon Tower.
Mr. Fuji made a couple of cameo appearances in later chapters. In The Last Battle XIII, he is one of the Pokémon Fan Club members that sent Pokémon to defeat Lugia and Ho-Oh. In Last Shot, the photo of Mr. Fuji and Blaine standing shoulder to shoulder is seen in an album.
In the TCG
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Mr. Fuji and/or his Pokémon in the Trading Card Game.

|Mr. Fuji
|Mystery of the Fossils
- Mr. Fuji may be the same character as Dr. Fuji (Japanese: フジはかせ Dr. Fuji), who founded Cinnabar Island's Pokémon Lab. In addition to the characters having the same surname, the Fame Checker reports that Mr. Fuji is not from Lavender Town and is friends with Blaine, suggesting a connection between Mr. Fuji and Cinnabar Island. The anime character Dr. Fuji may have been inspired by the Dr. Fuji in the games.
- This is further supported in Pokémon Origins when Red notes how the two have the same name, and Mr. Fuji has full knowledge of Mewtwo.
- Interacting with the portrait of Dr. Fuji at the Pokémon Lab yields the following text: "A photo of the LAB's founder… DR. FUJI?!
Elder Fuji
|From フジ Fuji, the Japanese name for the wisteria family of plants, a genus of plants with purple flowers. He may be named this because he lives in Lavender Town, also named after a plant with purple flowers.
|English, French,
German, Spanish
|Mr. Fuji
|Same as Japanese name; although Western audiences may be more familiar with Fuji as being a generic Japanese name.
Elder Deung'namu
|From 등나무 Deung'namu, the Korean name for Wisteria floribunda, the "Japanese Wisteria".
|Chinese (Mandarin)
Elder Fùshì
|From 富士 Fuji, possibly relating to Mt. Fuji.

» UFC 134: Antonio Carvalho (not Mackens Semerzier) to face Yuri Alcantara on Aug. 27 in Rio
It's about time.
Featherweight standout Antonio Carvalho, fresh off a decision win at the Score Fighting Series, has been signed by Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and booked to face former Jungle Fight champion Yuri Alcantara at UFC 134: "Rio" on Aug. 27 in Brazil.
Awesome signing! Nice!
They got one more fight to annouce
I am hoping another main card fight
Hopefully thiago alves or machida will fill the gap

or maybe I should have called this "Robbie Wabi". Anyway I left the pooch at home and took a ride with WABI a group in Burien advocating Bicycle/Pedestrian awareness. I should have asked someone when picking out my bike if it makes my butt look big, but whatever. The video was shot by my friend Michael Brunk, an area photographer who has all sorts of neat toys like bike mounted cameras. I am the fat guy on the orange bike.

Listen to "Mood" – http://ovosound.io/mood
Midnight always seems to be the best time for the OVO team to release music. Minutes after, artist and producer duo Daniel Daley and Nineteen85 better known as DVSN released yet another single titled Mood from their upcoming album Morning After. Their instagram has given us a few hints of what's next, but nothing regarding a due date. For now, Daley's sharp falsettos over the piano based beat will have to do.

Slow Down
Yesterday we attended our annual Pumpkin Carving party with our Pecan Court friends. This tradition, started a number of years ago, continues as some of our children grow old enough to carve by themselves and others of our children "age out". We gather our pumpkins together for a night of carving and a soup supper. When the pumpkins are all carved, we line them up on the porch, light 'em up, then oooh and ahhhh.
The pumpkins themselves range from the simple, traditional jack-o-lantern faces to the difficult and ornate. And there are always a couple KSU pumpkins from the K-Staters among us.
We have managed, in our busy lives, to reconnect every year with these friends. At one time, when our kids were growing up together, we shared almost a communal living lifestyle. I'll never forget, shortly after one family moved in, the youngest of the group of kids – a toddler at the time- opened our front door and walked right in. She was just looking for someone to play with. We never worried about where our kids or our kids' toys were. If they weren't at our house, they were in the neighborhood somewhere.
Driveways were our living room; the cul-de-sac was the playground. Put out your lawn chair and they will come. We'd driveway sit until after dark while the kids played in the street. With only one kid old enough to drive at the time, when him or his friends would barrel down the 'sac' one or all of us would yell to SLOW DOWN!
Slow down.
The older kids have moved on to college, work, and kids. The babies of our group are getting ready to enter middle school. The adults are older…wiser…older (oh I said that, didn't I?).
I am sad that we aren't all together anymore. Jason and Kyle both missed pumpkin carving night this year as well as many of the other "olders". But, I'm hopeful that the traditions we've instilled in them will carry on into their adulthood when the time comes.
If I allow myself to imagine that far into the future I can see them in their own young neighborhoods – standing at the bus stop chatting long after the bus has left the corner, annual camping trips, pumpkin carving parties and progressive dinners, driveway sitting until after dark – debating on who's going to break it up first to go fix supper only to decide everyone will just have sandwiches, and yelling at their own teens to SLOW DOWN!
Slow down.

I wrote my thesis on Mark 14:3-9, so there's a lot that I want to say about it, but for now, I'm only going to talk about its relationship to Mark 12:38-44.
There are a lot of similarities between the two passages. Both have a 'verily' saying for example. That 'verily I say unto you' phrase is a form of verbal underlining that means 'what I am about to say is reeaaally important. ' Both involve women, and both involve women parting with their money. Enough similarities to encourage the listening audience (the best guess is maybe a 6-10% literacy rate among early Christians, meaning most were encountering the Gospels by hearing them, not reading them) to compare the stories. The structure of the text also encourages that comparison:
scribes denounced (12:38-40)
widow's mites (12:34-44)
instructions for disciples (all of 13)
anointing story (14:3-9)
plot to kill Jesus (14:10-11)
You'll notice that 12:38-40 and 14:10-11 also have to do with the (mis) use of money. When chapter 13 is read as instructions on How to Be A Disciple, the widow and the anointer serve as examples illustrating Jesus' teachings. The scribes and Judas show What Not to Do. In other words, the teachings in 13 are surrounded by positive and negative examples of those teachings. And while I have too much class to point it out, you'll also notice that the positive examples of discipleship are (unnamed) women while the negative examples of discipleship come from the Jewish (scribes) and Christian (Judas) male leadership circles.
One more point, perhaps the most important one: if you compare the value of the widow's mites with the value of the anointing oil, you find that the mites were worth 1/19,200 what the oil was worth. Almost comical. But not quite. Notice that Jesus praises both women. Important lesson here. Each gave everything that she could, and that was enough.
Forgive me for not responding to any comments on this thread; I'll be netless for a few days.

The Stonepillow Bognor Hostel and Hub offers support to homeless and vulnerable people within the Arun District. Run by Arun District Council, they have a challenging job to ensure that all of the facilities at the hostel are safe, secure and reliable.
The hostel is open 365 days a year and provides accommodation for up to 10 homeless people every night as well as being open 10 am to 3 pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
This facility is particularly important when the weather is tough through the winter months and many welcome the respite from being out on the streets at night.
Arun District Council regularly review their housing stock to see that it is fit-for-purpose as part of their ongoing checks and assessments. One aspect of this is the structure of compartmentation within the hostel. Owing to the heavy usage at the shelter, the previous doors started to deteriorate. As a result, the doors would not have done their job in resisting fire and smoke or withstanding the heavy usage they are subject to. So to conform with the latest Building Regulations and to guarantee the safety of the hostel's residents and volunteers, Arun District Council made the decision to evaluate replacing the doors to the room entrances. Of paramount importance was the fire resistance, the prevention of spread of smoke in the event of a fire and the durability of the investment. The solution needed to endure all forms of misuse, whether this was accidental or intended.
The evaluation culminated in choosing Gerda FDS FD30(S) doorsets which are known for their high-performance properties in social housing. The design takes into account the living environment, with features for longevity: frames that cope with temperature extremes; concealed door closers within the head of the door leaf ensuring maximum door opening space and prevention of swinging on closers or their removal and high-quality kick plates. The FDS doorsets are comprehensively tested in full scale performance tests for Fire, Smoke Control and Acoustics, all aspects of which, offer peace-of-mind to both the visitor and the housing officers.
The council were delighted with the specification they received: "The doors work perfectly and are exactly what is required for the purpose of the night shelter". The high quality of the Gerda doorsets was instantly recognised: "They are very robust and capable of containing a fire and withstanding any possible violent attack". The project as a whole has made a huge difference for both volunteers and residents at the night shelter: "People feel much safer since the Gerda doors were fitted".

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 220.127.116.11
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & goodroi
A post I made to GG never made it past the mods
Well I think it would be nice to get an answer from GG on this. I just posted the following info in the other post .. I'll put it here just to be sure that we have more chance getting a response ;-).
Hi All,
Well .. this Googlebot is back in my site, it came by y'day looking for 3-4 pages, noe the UA is comming as:
Mozilla/4.0 (MobilePhone SCP-5500/US/1.0) NetFront/3.0 MMP/2.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
before it was:
Mozilla/4.0 (MobilePhone SCP-5500/US/1.0) NetFront/3.0 MMP/2.0 FAKE (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)
So.. note that everything is the same but the FAKE is not there this time.
Yesterday I was not worried beacuse it only requested for 3-4 pages, but today in a 4 hours period of time it requested > 3,000 pages ... yes, 3,000! that is too much for me, even regular Googlebot does not index my site that hard!
The IPs are 220.127.116.11 and 126.96.36.199 .. before (with the FAKE version) it was using 188.8.131.52 only.
Anybody seeing the same behavior?
I was checking a little and it looks like it is following the links from my site map page. Other thing I noticed is that it is requesting the pages as http://www.mydomain.com/page.html and http://mydomain.com/page.html .. and as so far I know I have no incomming links without the www anywhere.
My concern is if it is a real Googlebot or if the case is that somebody from the other side is just getting all my content, it was fine when I got jut 3-4 hits, but 3,000 in 4 hours!? this is no a human being using a cellphone.
did it request robots.txt
Yes, it did. And rigth after that it started requesting every page under http://mysite.com/... and under http://www.mysite.com/..., both.
Are not just cellphone users thru GG proxy?
That is what was thinking first, but now requesting more that 3,000 pages in a period of 4 hours and in the order of my site map page.. I don't think so.
In addition to that, today I did a little testing, I went to the:
page, and did a search for my site, then clicked one of the links to get the page and yes, it came under a gg proxy IP, which is none of the IPs that I have mentioned and using also a different UA.
IP was 188.8.131.52 and UA DoCoMo/1.0/P502i/c10 (Google CHTML Proxy/1.0)
May be I'm using the wrong place to check, if anybody know another GG page that can be using the other UA and Proxys IPs please letme know.
Another thing is that in a revers DNS look up, the two IPs above resolve to crawl-###-###-###-###.googlebot.com (###-###-###-### = IP) and the last one from the imode GG page does not resolves. Anyway all of them belong to GG as per the ARIN info.

Hello Everyone,
One of my commitments with the store is to help all people find the intimate apparel which suits their needs, preferences, and budgets, including men. Men wear bras for any number of personal and medical reasons, and I have been a strong advocate in not only helping men traverse their own unique fit problems but also in encouraging broader societal acceptance. Through these efforts, I came to meet Shay who has a medical condition known as gynecomastia which causes the benign growth of breasts in biological males. In some cases, the most comfortable way to live with the condition is to wear a bra for support, but while that may be the simplest solution, it's hardly the easiest one. Our culture is exceptionally hung up on gender norms and body policing. Boys should dress like boys, and girls should dress like girls, right? It not only assigns certain clothing and even behaviors to one gender as being "acceptable," but it also leaves no room for anyone to depart from those norms, to say nothing of the implications on trans people as well as those who are non-binary or genderqueer. And unfortunately, people can be exceptionally cruel and malicious when presented with someone who behaves outside of the way they expect. Shay and I have discussed this many times via email, and I told him I would really love for him to guest post occasionally on the blog, particularly because he brings a completely different perspective to the table. After some poor timing on both our parts, we finally came together for his introductory post focusing on a terrifying experience where being outside cultural gender norms can have embarrassing repercussions: a body search by the TSA.
The Guy Wearing a Bra who got searched by the TSA
Who is he?
Have you ever wondered what that guy in a lingerie store is doing, besides shopping for his significant other? That guy is me. I have a benign condition called gynecomastia, which causes breast growth in males, and I wear bras for comfort and support. Over the years, I have discovered just how fun and expressive bras can be.
I first started wearing bras when I was twenty, as detailed in this blog. The decision was hard since I felt people would view me as less of a man or a freak. However, I felt more comfortable with the support that the bras provided, so I continued to wear them.
That was 15 years ago. It is no longer a decision for me. It is just a piece of clothing that I put on every day. My tastes in bras have evolved since I bought my first bras – all of them lacy. At that time, I did not know that there were other, more comfortable and practical bras to be had. Nowadays, most of my bras are T-Shirt bras. One of my everyday bras has lace, but most of them do not have any lace. For the record, I do not wear panties – I am a boxer man!
Over the years, I have had various experiences in wearing bras. One of the more colorful experiences happened while the TSA was screening me. It opened my eyes as to what women potentially go through in airport security checkpoints. Sure enough, one of my female friends shared her horror story with me. I am surprised this did not happen to me until now.
The Experience
"Sir, are you wearing some kind of brace?"
I looked at the computer screen for the full body scanner. The squares plainly indicated an alert on the underwire on one side of my bra. I was annoyed. Whoever or whatever was monitoring the scanner images ought to be able to spot an underwire for what it is.
I answered the officer in the affirmative. The officer searched me with a metal detector wand, which beeped on my bra clasp and underwire. He began feeling me up. His hands felt rough on my body. He ran his hands up and down my back, across my bra clasp and up my bra straps. I felt violated.
The officer told me I would need to lift up my shirt to show him. Oh, great! I get to show my underwear to a TSA officer that I just met and who may not react appropriately!
The officer asked me if I would need a private room for the secondary screening. I indicated that I would. Two officers came up to me and asked me to identify my property. I pointed to 3 bins. I walked over and grabbed my watch. By this time, I was ticked off and not going to miss my flight without complaint.
"Sir, please don't … eh … I guess that is ok."
I had grabbed my watch from the bin and looked at it. It was just after 5:00 am. I still had 40 minutes until they started boarding my flight. Hopefully, this would not take long: Flash male TSA officers. Let them see that an underwire bra is an underwire bra. Go to the gate. Catch plane.
One of the two TSA officers escorting me grabbed my property bins and roughly stacked them. He followed me as the other officer led me to a small room. It had a metal counter, with a single desk lamp providing the light in the place. There were no chairs. The carpet looked like the TSA had not vacuumed it in 6 months. The TSA had various items stacked against the walls. A rectangular mirror leaned against the right wall.
"I am wearing a bra! I have a big chest, and it is more comfortable that way", I asserted.
The two officers who were in the room with me and blocking the door did not immediately respond. They asked me to lift up the back of my shirt, which I dutifully did. It seemed like an eternity as I held my shirt up as high as possible without having to slide it over my chest. I waited and waited, having no idea what they were doing back there. After what seemed like an eternity, the officers indicated that I had passed inspection.
"May I get dressed now?" I asked in a thoroughly annoyed voice.
"Yes, you can," one of the officers responded.
Then they were gone, and I was alone in the room. I put on my socks, shoes, belt, and jewelry. I packed up my laptop and other electronic devices (I have a lot!), grabbed my bags and left the security checkpoint. The officers whom I'd just shown my bra were nowhere in sight.
The Aftermath
I could not help but wonder if the officer reviewing the full body scans, supposedly able to see my guy parts, thought it would be funny to subject me to secondary screening. Upon further research, I learned that the scanners now use Automated Target Recognition (ATR) software so that TSA officers do not have to review the images themselves. It is unclear to me whether it is true that there no human component in evaluating the raw scans, and whether the TSA erases the scans after review.
I left the security checkpoint feeling violated. I did not expect the TSA to put me through such an intimate inspection. I suppose I should be thankful that they did not stick their hands in my bra cups or make me take it off. However, I find it hard to feel that way when I was taken to a dark and imposing room and asked to show my underwear. As a survivor of several sexual assaults, it is quite hard for me to reconcile that what happened was somehow OK in the name of national security.
Some friends of mine have asked me if I would stop wearing bras through the airport because of this. The answer is no. I may wear a wireless bra, but I do not see a purpose in not wearing a bra altogether. I do not want to dodge something that women deal with all the time – and should not have to in my opinion.
Fifty-one percent of the population is female, and the vast majority of bras on the market have underwires in them. The TSA's scanners do not alert on every person who walks through a checkpoint with an underwire bra. These scanners can recognize metal implants, artificial joints, and other implanted medical devices and not return false positives. As an experienced technology professional myself, I find it hard to believe that these scanners cannot be (and have not been) taught to recognize an underwire bra for what it is, regardless of the gender of the wearer. As an aside, if the TSA ever pulls you into a private room for additional screening, please know that you have a right to take a witness of your choosing with you, in order to witness your screening.
The experience made me more sensitive to what women can potentially go through when being screened by airport security. I told a couple of female friends what happened and they both told me horror stories – with one having to remove her bra in public for French screeners. In a way, it does make me want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with these women. I suppose it is my way of saying, "if you are going to screen women's bras with a potentially unnecessary level of scrutiny, you might have to end up screening my bra too."

The Four of Cups ~ Finding Inner Peace
Tarot Tuesday! The card for the week is the Four of Cups, representing: Reflection, inner-communion, tenderness and emotional fullness. This card carries a strong lunar influence. Just as the moon has her cycles, just as our emotional tides have their ebb and flow, the Four of Cups represents an inward cycle, a time of drawing within to reflect on your emotional journey.
The Four of Cups indicates that you have much to consider around your relationships and expressions of love. Often with this card there is a feeling of disappointment. Even though you have four full cups, it may not seem enough, and, there is something lacking in your emotional life. The Four of Cups encourages you to take a "time-out", to examine your heart and whether you are receiving the quality of love you truly desire. In the process it is important to be gentle and tender with yourself. Your message to others is: Tread lightly now.
At the same time, it is important not to get lost in your reflections! The shadow side of the Four of Cups is moodiness, boredom and even, depression. The goal is to not to become stuck in your emotions. Instead, to review and process them so you are freed from the past and old baggage. For now, embrace the luxury of having time to commune with your deepest self. This is rich territory, and with the right attitude will bring you peace of mind and heart.
Ultimately, the Four of Cups offers a soothing and softening of your heart. As you embrace your emotional truth, and let go of further expectation, you will find yourself ready to receive anew!
Wishing you an emotionally rejuvenating week!

It was the last few days of fall near the village of St. Cirq Lapopie. Ann and I were taking a quick trip to the nearby flour mill in the next village. We had been traveling this road for several months on a regular basis. We knew the road and what we could expect to encounter on our way to the mill. Deep in conversation, we came around a bend in the road. Suddenly to the right of us, we were upon an abundant and magnificent field of sunflowers in full bloom. The placement of the sun at that very moment was perfection.
We were full of wonder. At first, we could barely speak… then we both had a series of questions. How was this field possible? Were these volunteer sunflowers? Who had planted them? Why hadn't we seen them before? Why were they blooming this time of year? Had we seen them last year? Was this field purely for our pleasure?
We continued to talk with enthusiasm about the sunflowers as we pressed on to the flour mill before it closed for the day. As we made our way back home, we passed the sunflower field again. We both had the same idea. Let's turn the car around and go back so we can stand in the field and truly take in the wonder and magic of that moment.
Ann had a camera in hand. She must have taken at least thirty pictures.
We moved deeper into the sunflowers and just stood in their midst. We noticed that there were a variety of root vegetables planted in between the flowers. The ground was muddy as we moved through the field but we didn't care. And again we had questions that just couldn't be answered.
We noticed that near the field was one lone tree with glorious pink fall leaves. Such a contrast to the sunflowers. In another direction, we saw the formidable cliffs. Our senses were overloaded!
Finally, we forced ourselves to get in the car and leave the magic of this beauty behind us. As we headed for home, we had a few moments of quiet - that's unusual for us.
When the silence broke, we both spoke of the wonder that fills our lives each day and in the most unexpected ways. We were so grateful that to have been together and to have shared the same appreciation for this experience.

Destiny called, and I willingly let go of the life I had planned to live the life that was waiting for me.
In the summer of 2009, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowel disease. For months, after enduring time spent on every medication under the sun designed for UC, numerous hospital visits, unhelpful doctors and ridiculous medical bills, along with severe depression, a nonexistent social life and unwelcomed lifestyle changes, nothing had helped.
That's when I took my illness into my own hands. I went off the medications. I visited with a functional doctor. I read up on natural eating and changed my diet to only include whole, natural foods. I received certification to perform Reiki, a Japanese energy healing practice, and I began a daily meditation. I even enrolled in a mind/body clinical trial at Rush University in Chicago.
As months went by of me working hard to take control of my own life, everything began to turn around. I am now on no medications and my UC flareups rarely occur, and if they do, they are far less severe. I now feel energized, optimistic, calm and confident in my body's ability to heal itself. The power to heal is within us. We just have to find it and ignite it!
I wanted to spread the word about the body's ability to heal itself, so I received my health coach training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Since working wtih clients, what I hear most from them is that they didn't realize how bad they felt all the time until they knew what it felt like to feel good.
Are you ready to achieve optimal health in your life? Ready to drop some pounds? Want to have more weight? Want to cook and eat healthier as an individual or as a family? I will help you create a completely personalized "roadmap to health" that suits your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and goals.
Let's talk. Schedule an initial consultation with me today!

Client Testimonials
A friend recommended Doherty Plumbing Solutions who said you were reliable and affordable. We had a burst pipe in our wall on Saturday night resulting in a plumbing emergency. Can I please use this opportunity to let you know that the plumber (Brian) who helped us was exceptional. He got the job done so quickly and efficiently and kept me informed along the way. Thanks again, you have yet another very satisfied client who will be using your services again in the future.
This is the second time I've used Doherty Plumbing Solutions following an impressive first experience.

CMLL World Heavyweight Tournament, 1991
When EMLL split from the NWA and became CMLL, it formed it's own World Championships. The first CMLL championship was for the Heavyweight division, and it started even before the name change over took place. In order to push the idea of it being a World Championship, it included a lot of foreign heavyweights.
The tournament includes 16 wrestlers, and took place over six Arena Mexico shows in three weeks. (They were running Arena Mexico on both Friday and Sunday at the time.) The logistics of the tournament differed from other tournaments.
- wrestlers were split into two blocks of eight wrestlers.
- each block of eight would face in a 'battle royale', with eliminations only by pinfall. The match would end when only four wrestlers were left.
- those four wrestlers would meet the following week, in a battle royale with the same pinfall only rules. This time, two advance.
- the following Friday, the two remaining wrestlers left from each block squared off in singles matches. The winners moved on to the final, and the losers actually met in what was billed as #1 contenders match, though the wrestler didn't actually become the #1 contender. (In the match, Rayo de Jalisco Jr. beat Nitron.)
- the final was also a singles match.
Herodes was scheduled to be in the second block, but no-showed, and replaced by El Egipcio.
1st Round Block A 05.24 -------------------\ Vampiro Canadiense |Quarterfinal Semifinal Final Brazo de Plata |Block A Konnan |05.31 Black Magic |-------------------\ Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Konnan | Universo 2000 |Rayo de Jalisco Jr.|Rayo------- Mascara Ano 2000 |Black Magic |06.07 |Konnan----- El Egipcio |Mascara Ano 2000 |Konnan----- | --------------------------------------- 06.09 |Konnan Pierroth Jr. |Nitron |Nitron----- | Cien Caras |Cien Caras |06.07 |Cien Caras- Nitron |Pierroth Jr. |Cien Caras- Fabuloso Blondy |Pirata Morgan | Mascara Sagrada |-------------------/ Pirata Morgan |Block B El Egipcio |06.02 Gran Markus Jr. | -------------------/ Block B 05.26
Konnan winning was a bit of a surprise, as it was expected he'd be leaving to join WWF full time as Max Moon. Konnan would hold the title for a couple months before losing it to the man he faced in the final, Cien Caras.

Is Copper the New Black?
Just like everything else in home design, metal finish trends come and go, from 1970s chrome to bright brass in the '80s and '90s, then a complete switch up with oil rubbed bronze in the early 2000s.
Thanks to a plethora of gold leaf, rose gold, and even unlacquered brass at last spring's High Point Market, 'warm metals' have clearly worked their way back to the forefront for trendsetters.
Being more of a classicist, I'm delighted to ground this trend with timeless design style using one of my favorites – copper.
One of the things I love most about copper is that, when polished to perfection, it hardly even needs a light source in order to give off a warm, pleasing glow. I also love that depending on the form it takes, it can come across as either the height of glamour, or an almost folksy, comforting element.
And of course, copper's visual warmth makes it the perfect addition to cozy up any home this autumn and winter.
Copper is widely believed to be one of the earliest metals used by humans.
Some of the earliest examples we have of man's use of copper are in the form of cooking pots (the oldest as of yet was found in the Middle East and dates back to 9,000 B.C) revealing that copper likely made its debut in the home by way of the kitchen.
Even in small amounts, verdigris (the bluish-green patina that develops on unpolished copper) is extremely toxic; and although we do need small amounts of copper in our diets (which most of us get from foods such as lentils, shellfish, and even chocolate – as if we need another reason to indulge!) ingesting too much is also toxic, making copper's direct contact with food inadvisable.
For that reason, people eventually began having their copper cookware coated inside with other metals, primarily tin. We actually get the word 'tinker' from the name given to tradesmen who went door-to-door re-tinning pots and pans for household cooks!
Of course, copper is still a hugely popular choice for cookware today. Its ability to conduct heat evenly and precisely make it hard for a novice cook to burn their creations and easy for the most lauded of professional chefs to whip up delicate concoctions.
In my kitchen, I prefer vintage copper. There's just something about the patina that an old copper pot has that speaks to me. Check out some of these beauties.
No doubt copper's staying power as a kitchen staple is due to how beautiful it looks hanging from the walls or ceiling.
And there is absolutely no way I could talk about copper cookware without featuring Julia Child's kitchen!
But copper isn't just for cookware. I can't get enough of gorgeous copper range hoods.
Copper stoves, sinks and plumbing fixtures are popping up everywhere, as well! Don't be afraid to mix copper with other metals. I actually find it much more appealing that way.
Fortunately, copper's many merits have allowed it to take on just about every form imaginable as it's migrated from the kitchen into every room of the house, even outdoors.
Lots of fun lighting options using copper.
Wallpaper, throw pillows, bedding, and accessories with a little copper flair are stunning too.
I'm saying, "Yes, please!" to all of the above! How will you add the warmth of copper to your home this fall?

Nozick's thought experiment is less effective than is often believed. Certainly, there could be reasons to enter the machine. Possibly, life there might be among the best of all those available. Yet we need to distinguish between two versions. On the first, I retain my beliefs, memories, dispositions, some knowledge. On the second, all these too are determined by the scientists. Nozick alludes to both versions. But only on the first will machine life have appeal.

Reducing our carbon footprint and preserving the planet's precious resources are key to not only the future of the packaging industry, but the future of our planet. Using both standard and innovative packaging materials, Mesa Labs is leading the way in developing packaging solutions that are both recyclable and reusable.
A number of factors contribute to our customer's packaging requirements, all of which affect sustainability. These may include:
- Container weight, which contributes to fuel costs
- Potential for waste due to the packaging's ability to protect the product
- Type and length of transit and storage, which contributes to the amount of refrigerant needed and the type/thickness of insulator required
- Durability, which is the ability for the packaging to be used repeatedly and stack for efficient loading
- Ease and cost of recycling and disposal, which affects the willingness and ability to recycle in a specific geography
The below tabs describe the material used to develop effective cold chain packaging, why it was used, and how the company encourages sustainability initiatives within its customer base.
The majority of Mesa Labs' insulation material comes from either EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), PUR (Polyurethane), or EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) in conjunction with a refrigerant and an outer corrugate shell. The combination of material and how much of it is used is based on the client's cold supply chain requirements.
Mesa Labs encourages the use of environmentally friendly, sustainability initiatives and provides programs to customers.
Upon decomposition, products may emit styrene, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, low molecular weight hydrocarbons and other toxic gases at elevated temperatures and therefore should be disposed of in an appropriate manor.
Waste Disposal in the US / Canada – EPS, PUR, and ePUR products, if discarded, is not expected to be a hazardous waste according to US or Canadian regulations. The use, mixing or processing of this product may alter its properties or hazards. Check local, state, federal, and provincial environmental regulations prior to disposal.
Preferred disposal methods for polymers in order of preference are:
- clean and reuse if possible;
- contact resin broker;
- contact plastic recycler;
- incinerate with waste heat recovery and/or
- landfill.
Reuse, recycling, storing, transportation, and disposal must be in accordance with applicable federal, state/provincial and local regulations.
Handling and safety – All packaging products manufactured or distributed by Mesa Labs can be provided with a materials safety data sheet (MSDS) providing the required information for regulatory, safety, composition, first aid, and disposal of packaging and packaging components. As each product is slight different than the next, you should refer to the MSDS documents of your particular container for details.
TempTrust EPS Containers are 100% recyclable. Composed of a lightweight rigid cellular plastic, EPS comprises of 90% air bubbles made from reprocessed EPS molding beads.
Although EPS is an excellent insulator, it can chip or break, and therefore is often placed into a corrugate cardboard box for shipping. The box increases the number of times it can be used. Recovered EPS can then be easily transported and reprocessed mechanically or chemically into reprocessed resin and be used for a variety of new products.
In addition, Mesa Labs is at the forefront of technology, testing new age plastics and coatings that have been proven to increase usage up to ten times today's existing EPS solutions.
For a list of EPS packaging recyclers in the US and Canada, please refer to the EPS Packaging Industry Alliance website here or download a directory of recyclers.
Similar to consumer plastic products, TempTrust polyurethane (PUR) products can be recycled using several methods to eliminate them from the waste stream and recapture its inherent value by breaking down the material into its chemical components.
TempTrust PUR is also packaged in a courage or plastic container, which allows the packaging to be reused many times over. This not only lowers the probability of being simply dumped into the waste stream, but lowers the cost per use of the product.
For a list of PUR plastics recylers in the US and Canada, please refer to the directory of companies listed on http://www.plasticsmarkets.org.
Damaged product costs millions of dollars in squandered goods as well as ecological resources. Minimizing this damage with optimum protection reduces energy use by a larger amount than the energy used for the life of the packaging itself. The TempTrust Extreme was designed to maximize the usable product life for an insulated passive container to support reuse, and thus encourage sustainability through product performance.
While EPS is an excellent insulator, it is not very durable. So, rather than a single-use EPS container, Mesa Labs focused on combining materials EPS with more durable expanded polypropylene (EPP). EPP is an exceptionally eco-friendly, and versatile plastic foam designed for lightweight, energy management and cushioning.
Manufacturing EPP does not produce VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), chlorofluorocarbon or other compounds that are recognized as most damaging to the environment. It is also It is 100%recyclable.
The TempTrust Extreme combines both EPP and EPS in layers to provide thermal efficiency, reuse, and recyclability. The Extreme product line was also designed in black to reduce visible damage and further make reuse appealing to shippers.
In addition, because the solution is more rugged, it does not require an external corrugate box and can be easily and safely stacked to maximize a trailer's or warehouse's vertical space.
For a list of EPS / EPP packaging recyclers in the US and Canada, please refer to the EPS Packaging Industry Alliance website here. Ordownload a directory of recyclers.
TempTrust Refrigerants / PCMs are freezer gels are used for transportation and storage of items or cold application for use in transportation and storage. TempTrust PCMs are designed to be refurbished and reused up to 4,000 times. This not only benefits the environment, but also your bottom line.
Although the composition can vary based on the model of PCM used, they typically contain water, a polymer, and a preservative. They are also not classified as dangerous according to U.S. and Canadian regulations.
PCM should not, however, be dumped into the ground, sewers, or bodies of water. Before disposal, refer to the relevant national and local laws and regulations or contact Mesa Labs for support.

What is solitary confinement?
Using many different euphemisms across the United States, such as restricted housing units, special housing units, or isolation, local, state, and federal governments place imprisoned individuals in a cell that cuts off their access to and interaction with others, often for 23 hours per day. The justifications often provided for solitary confinement are punishment and safety for self and others. Placing an individual in solitary is not a decision subject to due process through judges or juries in a court of law, rather it is decided by prison officials after an individual has been sentenced.
How does it affect individuals with whom iustitia works?
Individuals with mental illness, autism, bipolar disorder, and intellectual disabilities are disproportionately affected by solitary confinement, particularly people of color. When jailers do not understand the behaviors of individuals with autism or mental illnesses, such as discomfort with being touched, they punish incarcerated persons for their behavior, instead of providing assistance. At other times, incarcerated vulnerable individuals are placed in solitary confinement as a means of their own protection from other prisoners, even though other means of protection may be available.
No matter the use, solitary confinement is dangerous for healthy people. For those with mental illnesses or intellectual disabilities, solitary confinement is destructive. It can dramatically exacerbate symptoms of mental illness and cause lasting negative effects on mental well-being. United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, Juan Méndez, has condemned the practice of solitary confinement except in very exceptional circumstances and for as short a time as possible. Furthermore, the Special Rapporteur points out that in many cases, solitary confinement can amount to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The UN Committee Against Torture has also recommended drastic reform of the excessive practice of solitary confinement in the United States, finding several violations of the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CAT).
How does iustitia advocate and educate on this issue?
iustitia works with individuals who are placed into solitary because of their mental illness, intellectual disability, autism, or bipolar disorder. By connecting directly with these individuals or their families, iustitia fights against their solitary confinement without proper review and for more humane methods of imprisonment and appropriate treatment to prevent the recurrence of the events that led to placing them in solitary confinement in the first place.
Recent Developments:
- The international community, as well as individual states are increasingly moving away from the use of solitary confinement, particularly as we learn more about the mental health and developmental effects of this cruel practice.
- December 2015: After a lawsuit by the NY Civil Liberties Union, New York State agreed to dramatically reduce the number of individuals in solitary confinement in its prison system.
- September 2015: The state of California agreed in a settlement to reduce the numbers of individuals in solitary confinement, or what one expert called "social death."

How Should HR Respond to the Digital Revolution?/
The space where people, work and technology meet is becoming ever more fascinating and is throwing up huge issues for HR departments round organisational flexibility and change management. Lots of people seem to have an opinion on what is happening and what should be done but fewer people are actually commenting from the HR trenches on what it is like to face those issues on a daily basis.
In Episode 8 of the Recruiting Future Podcast I speak to Neil Morrison the Group HR Director at Penguin Random House UK, someone who is dealing with these challenges first hand.
You can hear us discuss:
How Penguin Random House has had to respond to the digital revolution and turned it from a threat into an opportunity.
The evolving nature of HR technology with a move from big enterprise solutions to smaller "disposable" alternatives.
The expectations of employees for a consumer grade user experience at work
Penguin Random House's ground breaking social recruiting initiative to attract new marketing talent into their business

Remember Windows 95?
A once-revolutionary operating system which introduced us to such treats as the task bar, the 'Start' button and Minesweeper in glorious 32-bit, it's aged about as well as Mickey Rourke's face.
And to make you feel as ancient as a clunky dial-up modem it ran on some 21 years ago, Fine Brothers Entertainment has now presented this bygone piece of desktop software to a bunch of sassy and irksomely confident US teens, who may have heard myths about old school Internet Explorer but probably never seen it in action.
Say what you like about Windows '95, but at least it didn't see Bill Gates shot dead in the South Park movie. So there's that.

Outback still high on Gamecocks
Just spoke with Outback Bowl president Jim McVay, who called me back after taking a call from the SEC office.
Despite their two-game slide, McVay has not cooled on the Gamecocks.
"It was a tough game on Saturday. … That's football," McVay said. "Does that impact our thoughts about South Carolina? Not at all."
McVay would not confirm that the Gamecocks are Tampa-bound, saying LSU is also in the mix. But given the Outback's history of taking SEC East teams, I'm betting the Gamecocks will be gearing up to stop Iowa tailback Shonn Greene on New Year's Day morning in Tampa.
But McVay was curious whether USC fans had cooled on the Gamecocks following the 50-point dismantling by Florida and 17-loss to Clemson.
So I'll put the question on the floor: How willing would you be to load up the minivan [nonparents can insert cooler mode of transportation here] and head to Tampa to watch the Gamecocks try to win their Outback Bowl trophy?
And if you would go, how long would you stay?
