Route: 40I-MGY-40I
Weather: Overcast, light snow, 23 degrees, wind 330 degrees at 6 knots
Over three weeks since I last took to the skies, I managed to get up and run myself through the paces this afternoon. My goal is to fly every two weeks at a minimum so I went up solo to run through pretty much a mock checkride for a thorough refresher. It was plenty cold out and Emerson (one of the owners) came out to help me get 338 started. Once she was warmed up, I filled the tanks and did a quick preflight before running through my pre-takeoff checks.
From Stewart to Wright Brothers with maneuvers in between
The winds were out of the Northwest but quite light compared to many of my recent flights at around 6 knots. Departing for the first time at Stewart, I made a normal (and pseudo soft field, as is the norm on the grass) takeoff and climbed quite quickly into the pattern - gotta love the engine performance on a cold winter day. I remained in the pattern for five landings, randomly switching between short field, soft field, and the normal variety. I could tell I was a little rusty but they were still pretty smooth and my soft field landing was one of the best I've ever made. On the final approach, I intentionally practiced a go-around and departed the pattern to the Northeast.
The clouds were up at around 4,000 feet so I climbed to 3,000 and made two sets of steep turns. I wasn't holding altitude all that great the first time around but got my head in the game and cleaned things up on the second set. Then I climbed up to 3,500 and did a series of power-off and power-on stalls. I hadn't done that latter in the 150 since my checkride (nearly two months ago) but managed a few stalls with good, clean breaks and smooth recoveries.
Feeling good about stalls, I descended and made S-Turns along a straight section of high-tension power lines. Without much wind the practice probably wasn't that useful, but looking at the GPS track it appears I made relatively consistent turns. I then headed off towards Wright Brothers Airport and pulled my power enroute to simulate an engine failure. There were plenty of fields as I set up and made a slow turn so that I would be landing to the North on the longest field clear of power lines.
About 200 feet off the ground, I knew I would have made the landing and pushed in the throttle... and then the engine sort of coughed and didn't come back. I pulled it back to idle and advanced it slowly and it roared back to life. This isn't anything new in the 150, as you often have to advance the throttle more slowly than usual when it's really cold out. Nonetheless, you wouldn't believe the number of thoughts that ran through my head in those 3 short seconds. Of course, I was still in a position to make an emergency landing - so at least I had that going for me!
Maneuvers out of the way, I continued towards Wright Brothers and made a crosswind entry to the pattern for Runway 2. Nobody else was flying when I arrived but traffic picked up while I was there. At one point, there were 5 of us in the pattern. Same as at Stewart, I made a variety of landings. The crosswind was stronger here, and interestingly cut out or picked up within 10 feet of the ground every time on final so I couldn't trust the windsock too much. But even with having to make some quick corrections on short final I managed to set it down without any drift all but one time.
Heading back home, I climbed up to 2,800 on departure because another plane was inbound from the East. I never did see him, but we were calling out positions over the radio and he said he had me in sight. It's a good time to mention that I flew through snow showers off and on during all my flying this afternoon - they came and went in varying intensities. Nothing so bad that visibility was ever less than 5 miles, but I probably wouldn't have set off on a cross-country to an unfamiliar destination today. For practice, however, the weather was great. Plus it's fun to have the whole Star Trek warp-speed look out the front as the snow zooms past.
One last smooth landing at Stewart and I was safely back on the ground. It sure felt like forever since I had been up last and I was glad to once again feel good about piloting a plane. Honestly, I was more excited to go up today than I have been in quite a while. Other than the cold temps it should be nice tomorrow, so the plan is for me and Gina to fly up to Urbana for a $100 lunch. The itch to be in the sky is one that you can only ignore for so long!

Okay, so we have all done it, whether you forgot you were wearing it or you were too tired to bother removing it – just don't make a habit of sleeping in your make-up – it is extremely detrimental to your skin health.
It can result in clogged pores, acne breakouts, oxidative stress which can lead to premature ageing, inflammation and very dull, dry & tired looking skin.
If you want to check out just how damaging it can be then head over to the Daily Mail website to read (and see) how one of their journalists, Anna Pursglove, went a month without removing her make-up before bed. The results are shocking! Luckily she hasn't done any lasting damage to her skin but it did age her by 10 years during the experiment.
Get into a routine to help your skin, it may sound like a chore but it can be quite simple, especially if you take our skin health products, help: clear skin and help: revitalise my skin.
Just 1 sachet a day of help: clear skin mixed into your favourite beverage or soft food (hot or cold) will have you fighting acne breakouts and looking at clear skin in as little as 6 weeks… SIMPLE!
help: revitalise my skin comes in an easy, portable and delicious ready-to-eat format for consumption at any time of day. Containing CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a proven anti-ageing agent, and Aloe Vera, which aids skin regeneration, it will help your skin stay beautifully revitalised… and in tip-top condition. Not bad for a mid morning snack!
The benefits will definitely outweigh the effort of a skincare routine, so start now.

The perception of Buffett, recently photographed at a rally for Hillary Clinton, is of a "liberal" billionaire. The reality is that his most influential paper, the Omaha World-Herald, is often the editorial equivalent of a voter who pulls the straight-ticket master lever to vote for GOP candidates, no matter how incompetent or troglodyte some of them are.
The Herald's corrosive political influence includes a large section of conservative northwestern Iowa, across the Missouri River from Omaha, Nebraska.
On Wednesday, the Herald urged its Iowa readers to return Supreme Court Obstructionist Sen. Charles Grassley to office, as well as Rep. David Young and Rep. Steve King, who is almost certainly the loosest cannon in the U.S. House of Representatives whose name isn't Louie Gohmert.
Before endorsing King, the Herald acknowledged that King continues to draw controversy, which is like acknowledging that Adolf Hitler was rude to Poland.
This is the best defense of King that the Herald could come up with:
Responding to criticism that he hasn't offered a large number of bills, King told The World-Herald, "It is far more important to be engaged in killing bad ideas than to put your name on a good idea."Compare the Herald's less-than-persuasive praise of the baldly homophobic, racist and chauvinistic King with the Des Moines Register's tell-it-like-it-really-is assessment of King, a lawmaker it has called "an embarrassment to the state of Iowa" and whose opponent, Kim Weaver, the Gannett paper just endorsed:
King has done strong work on the farm bills as a member of the House Agriculture Committee. He has supported renewable fuels and worked to obtain federal earmarks to complete Highway 20.
King noted that future trade agreements will rest on the trade promotion authority Congress has approved. He said the legislation would not have passed if not for amendments he worked to include.
Contrast that with her opponent in the 4th district, Rep. Steve King, who's infamous for talking. He's known nationally for making outrageous statements — on the floor of Congress, on cable TV, on talk radio, and anywhere else he can get attention.Iowans would be better off listening to their own statewide newspaper and ignoring the GOP-inspired machinations of Nebraska's.
But actually doing anything? King has earned a reputation for being one of the least-effective members of Congress. In seven terms in Washington, not one of the bills he's introduced have ever made it out of committee. Instead, he's known for his amendments and resolutions that ultimately go nowhere. He takes pride in obstruction.
We invited King to meet with the editorial board twice this election season, but his campaign declined.
The Register instead endorses Weaver, who represents a refreshing voice in Iowa politics. She knows the challenges many Iowans face because she's heard from them directly.
Below are 20 good reasons to defeat Rep. Steve King (which don't include his latest remarks about the superiority of white culture and his idiot comments about Mexican immigrants with "calves the size of cantaloupes.)
20 Reasons to dump Iowa Rep. Steve King
- King, a miserably ineffective showboat, sponsored 17 bills in the U.S. House, but, according to Open Congress, not one of them was enacted
- In 2013 Steve King has been identified as one of the "ten Republicans who shut down the government" (Gawker), costing the U.S. economy $24 billion.
- Has one of the worst congressional ratings, according to Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and avoided the Vietnam draft for three years before he suddenly quit college after being assigned a high draft number which ended the threat of him being forced to shoot at anything that shoots back
- The Des Moines Register can't stand him: "King seems to amuse himself by being as partisan and vitriolic as he can be. He has had 10 years in Washington to cultivate his inner-statesman, but he has failed to do so. It's time for Iowa to make a change." (Written in 2012)
- The right-wing editorial page of the Omaha, Nebraska World-Herald endorsed King
- Engaged in deceitful race baiting in the House of Representatives
- Voted to expand internet surveillance of users by forcing Internet Service Providers to retain customers' temporarily-assigned IP addresses, as well as other information, for 12 months
- Voted for a $250,000 congressional publicity stunt/nonbinding resolution to encourage public display of "In God We Trust" and to affirm that divisive religious bumper-sticker slogan which replaced E Pluribus Unum (Out of many, one), the US' original motto
- Voted to defund your local NPR station, presumably in an attempt to get you to listen to Rush Limbaugh more
- Voted to strangle Medicare
- Voted to force a rushed decision to extend the toxic, leaky Keystone XL pipeline through the Ogallala aquifer
- Voted for the "2004 American Jobs Creation Act" — which cut jobs
- Accused Iowa marriage equality supporters of following him around and screaming "the worst profanity I've heard anywhere" — but offered not a shred of proof
- Somehow concluded that the existence of babies in trashcans meant that the Obama's Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional
- Was endorsed by Wall Street financiers who want to eliminate farm subsidies and were fined by the Federal Elections Commission
- Played hookey from the House to whine at CPAC about Nancy Pelosi forcing him to use energy-saving lightbulbs in his office while the rest of Iowa's congressional delegation was on the job fighting to protect Iowa National Guard jobs
- In a legislative passion ploy, showcased Bishop William Lori, a notorious Catholic bully, as Joan of Arc, tied to the stake by marriage equality advocates
- Claimed he bulldozed throngs of intimidating, profane gays to protect Connie Mackie (but unfortunately failed to provide any evidence whatsoever of this)
- Was called an embarrassment to Iowa by the state's largest newspaper, in its 2010 endorsement of opponent Matt Campbell. The Des Moines Register added that King was "provocative, not focused on getting results for Iowans... reactive, not visionary" and added that it was time for Iowa voters to replace him
- King wants U.S. Intelligence (which didn't see ISIS coming in the first place) to spy on U.S. mosques, despite the fact that virtually every single American Muslim organization has publicly disavowed both the ideology and the practices of ISIS

I'm not going to lie, grocery shopping or even my (casual) outings to Target with three little ones is extremely intimidating. I mean, where do they all sit? How am I going to fit everything into one cart? The baby hates her car seat and now I have to stuff it into a cart while she screams. Ugh...the daunting things that I think about when trying to get out of the house is overwhelming. That was until I was introduced to Binxy Baby.
This revolutionary "cart hammock" has completely changed my thoughts and feelings on grocery shopping. I am not even kidding you guys, the first time I used this thing I had the most peaceful Target shopping experience I had had in MONTHS, maybe even years!
I was able to fit all three kids into one cart and they literally all enjoyed it. Justus sat up in front and talked to me; Eliza in her Binxy Baby and Roz sat in the main cart and talked to baby Eliza the whole time. There was no screaming, no asking for popcorn every two seconds, and no melt downs. I was in shopping HEAVEN!
And what's even better? Eliza loves laying in there! She doesn't feel constricted like she does in her car seat, and she doesn't get overheated like she does when I wear her in my Moby wrap. It is seriously glorious! But if you are still wanting to bring your car seat along, you CAN! Just set the car seat right in the sling and they even have a strap for you to strap your car seat in!
If you are a mother of one, two, three or four PLEASE check out this product! No, I am not getting paid to sell this product but because of how much it has changed by life, I want YOU to know about it! It is just that great! So please, do yourself a favor and check out this awesome company!

I'm rounding the corner on my first year of being in my 30s and I have to say—I much prefer this decade. Most of the clichés are true: You care less what people think and you have enough money to afford multiple tv streaming services. But there are a lot of other positive comparisons.
What you consider risky behavior
20s – Having no idea how condoms work because you wouldn't be caught dead buying them unless you drove fifty miles away from your hometown.
30s – Picking your own investment portfolios on your employer-matched 401(k).
How you talk about sex
20s – Waiting six weeks to tell your friend about what *actually* happened that night you didn't come home until 6AM, because you thought it was bad until something else happened that was way worse.
30s – Meeting a friend and her new baby at a highly rated dessert place so you can enjoy $9 slices of cake while discussing various consensual sex acts performed on your husbands between episodes of WestWorld.
Your money management skills
20s – Trying to decide if you have enough gas in your car to make it to the liquor store so you can buy whatever bottle of wine is available for less than the $7.61 in your checking account.
30s – Buying three bottles of laundry detergent so you get a $5 Target gift card.
Your fav method of emotional self-sabotage
20s – Driving by your ex-boyfriend's house to see whether he's home or whether anyone is over.
30s – Watching Interstellar for the 8th time so you can hold yourself and cry over the parent-child relationships and the ravages of time.
The content of your selfies
20s – Double fisting $3 well drinks with your girlfriend at 3AM.
30s – With a perfectly formatted excel spreadsheet that is going to help you achieve your goals.
Reasons to get excited
20s – Your friend just bought a new car she can't afford so you should both call into your non-salary jobs and drive to the beach.
30s – the Tums you just took is berry flavored!
Your pre-date routine
20s – "Let me remove every single hair from my body and get slightly tipsy so I can force myself to laugh at your jokes."
30s – "Let's take my car so you can put gas in it on the way."
Someone tell me it's just going to keep getting better.

By Laurie Hebert RHIA, CCS, CCS-P, CTR, vice president, oncology data services, Care Communications, Inc., HealthPort
Patient-centered care has emerged as an imperative for the healthcare industry. It drives patient satisfaction, quality of care, patient safety, better outcomes, and reduced costs. With these goals in mind, the Commission on Cancer's (CoC) Cancer Program Standards: Ensuring Patient-Centered Care (2016 Edition) covers the requirements cancer programs must meet to earn and maintain CoC accreditation, along with standards to promote patient-centered cancer care. These include delivery of genetic testing and counseling, development of survivorship care plans, and ways to address psychosocial distress and healthcare disparities and barriers.
This article explores the value of CoC accreditation and the role of HIM in raising awareness, providing multidisciplinary education, and advancing benefits for cancer patients and their families.
What do you know about CoC accreditation and its benefits?
Establishing and maintaining CoC accreditation is a voluntary commitment aimed at making sure a cancer program offers a full range of services required to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, and support patients and their families. Continual evaluation of program performance promotes patient engagement and high-quality cancer care.
CoC accreditation offers significant benefits for cancer programs, patients, families, and communities. It's a streamlined process with quality measures in place, standards that must be followed, and performance improvement initiatives. The CoC revolves around a multidisciplinary group of professionals who are responsible for program management and adherence to standards. Accredited programs receive the following benefits from the CoC:
- National recognition—by organizations such as The Joint Commission, American Cancer Society, and National Cancer Institute, for having established performance measures for ensuring high-quality care.
- Organizational model—to support delivery of comprehensive, multidisciplinary cancer care.
- Quality improvement measures—access to resource tools that compare quality of care and improve performance based on nationally recognized quality measures and standards.
- Data analysis—participation in CoC special studies developed to address important issues in cancer care.
- Public awareness—promotion and national exposure (marketing efforts, the CoC Hospital Locator, etc.) offering patient information about where to receive quality care.
For patients, their families and communities, the CoC quality standards for cancer programs ensure patient-centered services:
- Quality care, close to home
- Comprehensive care, including a complete range of state-of-the-art services and equipment
- A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best available treatment options
- Information about ongoing cancer clinical trials and new treatment options
- Access to prevention and early detection programs, cancer education, and support services
- Ongoing monitoring and improvements in cancer care
- Patient tracking through the cancer data system
- A cancer registry that offers lifelong patient follow-up
A cancer diagnosis means many options to consider and decisions to be made, which can be overwhelming for patients and families. As a first step, the CoC Hospital Locator is a helpful tool that allows an easy search for resources and services offered by accredited programs in every state.
What is a cancer registry and why is it important?
According to the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA), a cancer registry is an information system designed for the collection, management, and analysis of data on persons with a cancer diagnosis. Healthcare institution registries must maintain data on all patients diagnosed and/or treated for cancer at their facility.
Maintaining a cancer registry ensures availability of accurate, timely, and complete data for treatment, research, and educational purposes. The registry includes a broad range of demographic and medical information such as medical history, diagnostic findings, cancer specifications, therapy, and follow-up.
State law requires that all healthcare entities—including hospitals, cancer centers, physician practices—report malignancy according to specific criteria. The standards for CoC-accredited programs mandate that data be collected and analyzed by a Certified Tumor Registrar (CTR). These individuals are data information specialists who capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment, and health status of every cancer patient in the US.
What is required to become a CTR?
Gone are the days when cancer registrars were simply trained on the job. Today, community colleges offer formal education programs that teach cancer data management. In addition, NCRA offers an online certificate program in cancer registry management through AHIMA. Areas of study include cancer program management, medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, biostatistics and epidemiology, cancer data abstracting, and more.
To become a CTR, a candidate must meet eligibility requirements including a combination of education and experience in the cancer registry field, and then pass an examination administered by the NCRA Council on Certification. The growing need for CTRs opens new opportunities for HIM professionals who wish to broaden their skills and seek more diverse, rewarding career options.
Advancing CoC education and cancer awareness
CoC accreditation denotes quality, potentially attracting more patients and providing opportunities for patient engagement. HIM professionals have the experience, expertise and leadership ability to raise awareness about cancer care and CoC accreditation in their own facilities. Multi-discipline education is essential. If your facility is CoC accredited, work with your marketing and public relations department to include information on your website and in related patient materials. Providing access to information eases the burden for patients and families faced with difficult decisions.
As healthcare organizations make the shift to value-based care, establishing CoC accreditation seems a natural fit for enhanced efforts to engage patients, build service lines, and become more competitive in today's market.

Planning the perfect holiday
paper straws
party can be tricky. So here are 5 tips for creating a holiday office party your co-workers will love!
Find an invitation style that fits the feel you want to convey. Do you want your party classy, elegant, wacky, playful...?
Try an unexpected theme. Ugly sweater parties always work, but why not try a karaoke party or holiday fiesta. Go with a theme that best fits your crowd.
ick festive foods and serve
Tissue Paper Pom Poms
By going DIY, you can offer more choices and please more people. For example, Moe's Southwest Grill offers a make-your-own fajita bar where people can create their own unique fajitas.
Create a hot chocolate station to add a holiday feel.
Holiday lights can transform a conference room. Shop the bargain bins at the dollar store. And if you really have no budget, add a red tablecloth (or bedsheet) and cut out a paper banner or snowflakes.
Use the office projector to screen a classic holiday movie or slideshow of company photos.
A gift exchange creates a generous feel, and no one goes home empty-handed. Food and
party straws
toy drives are another feel-good option.
Music can make or break a party. If you have a co-worker who is a DJ, put him or her to work. If not, set up a playlist beforehand (ask your co-workers for requests) and stream it. You can even share your playlist after the party.
In my experience, the key to a great office holiday party is to make it feel like it's everyone's party. Find ways to get input from your co-workers. The more inclusive it is, the more fun everybody has!
I'm excited to bring you another homemade treat idea for your pup! This one was inspired by one of my own favorite game day snacks… the beloved bread pretzel. Piles of French inspired sweets, glam cotton candy displays, scripted "Eat Me" silhouettes and playful DIY wigs are just the beginning of all the *royal* fun!
One of my favorite elements is Juliet's signature handwritten and papercraft
Christmas straws
details. Using simple black marker drawings of champagne, candelabras, and strawberries she created a youthful, theme-y and playful pop. She says in her party details (read them below!), "I just wanted it to be gorgeous and opulent and over the top fun and I am so pleased with how it turned out," and I have to agree – great job Juliet, it looks like outrageously fabulous fun!
You know how a trip to the movie theater just isn't the same without popcorn or candy? Well, for me a trip to the stadium just isn't the same without a warm & doughy bread pretzel. So, I thought it would be fun to create a "one for you and one for me" sort of project featuring pretzel snacks for pets AND pet parents that can be enjoyed on game day… or any day, really!
Since neither my husband or I had ever made our own bread pretzels before, we decided to go with a mix from a
box to make things a little easier. You still have to let the dough rise, form the pretzels, dip them in a boiling water/baking soda mixture, then bake them – so the process is a bit involved, but it's still doable in about an hour and worth the extra effort, IMHO at least. ;)

Refund time limit will help consumers get their money back
The Government has acted on Citizens Advice recommendation to introduce a time limit for when refunds need to be paid as part of the Consumer Rights Bill.
Today MPs have a chance to support a change in the law which will require businesses to provide a refund within 14 days of agreeing to it
Citizens Advice Chief Executive Gillian Guy said:
"Businesses should not be sitting on customers' cash by dragging out how long they take to provide a refund. A set time limit on when refunds need to be paid, as recommended by Citizens Advice, will help people uphold their rights and get money back in their pocket.
"Providing details about consumers' rights at the till or online checkout would further help consumers and businesses understand and uphold rights. All too often shoppers and retailers are at loggerheads because neither is exactly clear on a customer's rights."
Notes to editors:
- The Citizens Advice service comprises a network of local bureaux, all of which are independent charities, the Citizens Advice consumer service and national charity Citizens Advice. Together we help people resolve their money, legal and other problems by providing information and advice and by influencing policymakers. For more see the Citizens Advice website.
- The advice provided by the Citizens Advice service is free, independent, confidential, and impartial, and available to everyone regardless of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion, age or nationality.
- To find your local bureau in England and Wales, visit citizensadvice.org.uk. You can also get advice online at adviceguide.org.uk
- You can get consumer advice from the Citizens Advice consumer service on 03454 04 05 06 or 03454 04 05 05 for Welsh language speakers
- Citizens Advice Bureaux in England and Wales advised 2.3 million clients on 5.4 million problems from October 2013 to September 2014. For full 2013/2014 service statistics see our quarterly publication Advice trends
- Citizens Advice service staff are supported by more than 21,000 trained volunteers, working at over 3,000 service outlets across England and Wales.

Sales Tax on Zazzle Orders
U.S. Domestic Sales Tax
Zazzle charges sales tax on orders shipped to California and New York, as required by law.
Interstate commerce laws requires Zazzle to charge sales tax for orders bound for delivery in any state where Zazzle has facilities or primary business affiliates. This list currently includes California and New York.
If you have been charged incorrectly for Sales tax, based on the exceptions noted above, please contact the Zazzle support team.
Sales Tax is subject to change according to changes in State Law.
International Orders (placed through the .com portal) will have a Value assigned to the order for customs purposes.
When a package leaves the Zazzle facility to be delivered internationally, they must place a unit value on the package. This unit value is applied to insure the worth of the order in accordance with the regulations and procedures of the customs process. In most cases (depending on the country of destination), a tariff will be placed on international packages, prior to actual delivery. A tariff is a tax on foreign goods upon importation.
When a package arrives at an international hub, a customs officer inspects the contents and applies a charge for the appropriate import tax value. These tariffs are not the responsibility of Zazzle.com. Rather, it is the responsibility of the intended recipient to pay for any charges incurred as a cost of the import.

In 2012, French football changed drastically. Qatar Sports Investments become the majority shareholder of Paris Saint Germain, and bought the club outright. Prior to the purchase, PSG were a big club, but not to the level of a Barcelona or a Juventus, clubs who have rich and vibrant European football history. PSG aren't an old club, so they do not have the natural history of a club such as Liverpool, but they can etch their name into modern history, like Chelsea. Despite their status in Paris, they never made their mark fully on Europe's top competition. The UEFA Champions League. Only now has PSG been able to make their mark in Europe, but I have a feeling that this season could be different, and join me as I give you an explanation why. *
Okay, so first, Le Parisians are a great footballing team. Yes, they maybe miles ahead in Ligue 1, but that's not because of the other sides. Their opponents are great teams, PSG are just a lot, lot better. They have the ability to outspend any side in France, and most teams in Europe, but they don't get the attention I feel that they deserve. A lot of countries look down at PSG because of their spending power, including England (ironic seeing as Chelsea did the exact same thing, but that's another story). Angel Di Maria has been the premium attacking midfielder in Europe this season, but he is still seen as a flop because he couldn't cope in a mediocre and quite frankly boring Manchester United side and Premier League.
It's slightly disrespectful to look at PSG and snigger because "It's only the French" because the truth is, they would dispose of most of the English sides in Europe this season, with relative ease. Sure, it's only my opinion, but when you consider that last season a PSG side that isn't as good as this season beat Chelsea, the English Champions, it almost proves my point.
The players in the PSG side are some of the best in the world, and are natural born winners. Try and tell Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic that they aren't winners, and they aren't good on the big stage! They know more about winning than most of the other sides in the competition. It's just a myth.
If they can all get on the same wavelength, PSG can go far in the Champions League, simply because they are better than a lot of other sides. People do not pay attention to them in the same light that Ateltico Madrid and Borrusia Dortmund did when they reached the finals. For those sides, they slipped up when it mattered, but they didn't have the potential in their squads to the level of PSG.
This could all be pointless in a month's time, but that isn't my point. My point is that we in Europe need to wake up, take a long hard look at a club who is building for the future in one of the greatest cities in the world, and realise they are a powerhouse of European football. The potential PSG has is frightening, and if we ignore it, we will pay the price.
*This was written prior to the Chelsea Vs. PSG Champions League game, so this may be pointless by the time you read this.

25 Animals That Just Don't Care.
It is true that some animals can be domesticated. After all, us humans dedicate a lot of time to training them to be house pets. But there will always be some moments that the animal's wild instinct will take over and their training will go right out the window. Yes, they can be cute and cuddly, but we have to remember they will always have a savage side to them. And to be frank, animals couldn't care less about how their actions affect others.
Take a look at these wild creatures below and ask yourself if they look like they care.
#1. This kitty doesn't care about your problems. He is actually amused that you are throwing your guts up.
He also wants to know if this will change the time dinner will be served.
#2. Over time, this fella became very comfortable in this backyard. He just doesn't like the lights.
I actually wouldn't mind, he looks pretty cute.
#3. This fella was supposed to learn how to swim. Who says dogs need to learn to swim anyways?
He decided floating was good enough. Swimming is for suckers.
#4. Why did the turkey cross the road?
He didn't. He just stood there for 5 minutes. He doesn't care that you will be late for work.
#5. This crow just doesn't care.
Looks like you've got a new hood ornament!

What can we learn from the language of nature, and how does our silence facilitate that education?
Last week, 35 people journeyed to Marble, Colorado to begin a 10-day meditative retreat led by The River's Path and Impermanent Sangha Retreats. As an exploration of the eco-dharma—the environmental teachings of the Buddha—participants will engage in silent reflection throughout the retreat. The purpose participants' silence is not to extinguish communication by not speaking, but rather to open themselves to new channels of communication in nature.
The language of nature is a language that transcends words, which makes it difficult for us to comprehend. For many people, the idea that nature communicates with us through plants, water, or rocks is a radical notion. Because Western teachings train us to utilize language to promote things like "progress," "development," and "economic growth," too often we ignore the language of nature, where these terms have no meaning.
In English, space and time are described linearly and relative to the speaker. We typically describe our lives like this: "I was born in Wisconsin. I left my hometown at age 18 to pursue my degree in Michigan. My spouse and I married after we graduated, and moved to Pennsylvania for our careers. Finally, when I was 65 I moved to the East Coast for a change of pace and to retire."
In this example, the author describes their life as a chronology of progress: They pursued an education, graduated, married, contributed to society through their career, and retired. The author writes subjectively, and describes space ("my hometown"), time ("at age 18"), and other people ("my spouse") as they exist related to the speaker. Naturally, when we speak and think in this manner, we leave ourselves very little room to learn from outside perspectives. We view everything from the inside out, and place ourselves in the center.
According to the Global Language Monitor, the English language currently contains 1,035,877 words. That's just over one million words to describe every single emotion, circumstance, object, and sensation that we experience in our lives. It seems impossible that so few words could accurately describe the complexity of our world.
We can learn from languages that approach concepts like space and time differently than we do—even "languages" that are not human. Nature speaks such a language. Nature embodies cycles, adaptation, and rebirth. Wildfires, the carbon cycle, and the water cycle illustrate these values. In contrast, Western culture inherently values progress, development, and efficiency.
Nature functions objectively rather than subjectively: The sun always rises in the east, every being dies eventually, one rotation of the Earth on its axis will always take about 24 hours. Western culture, on the other hand, idolizes the individual's perspective, personal opinion, and freedom of choice.
While Western culture's value of independence can be liberating for some people, the implications can be debilitating for others. Human relationships—and more so than ever before, the health of the environment—are tested by Western ideologies, and all sense of community interdependence disintegrates within them.
Nature embraces symbiosis, mutually beneficial relationships, and synergistic communities. Even the briefest of studies in ecology will illustrate this. When we take time to observe these functions and cycles and align ourselves with them, we can learn powerful lessons in the beauty of interdependence, rediscovery, and personal growth in general. We develop a stronger sense of community, and learn to adopt the pace of nature, which allows us to practice compassion for one another and for our planet. The English language focuses on the "self" rather than the "collective" or the environment around us—but switching channels to the language of nature allows us to tune into the wealth of knowledge nature has to share with us.

This weekend was pretty great! It seems like weekends are always really busy, so I was kind of excited to have nothing on the agenda. A free weekend gave me the opportunity to do a few things that I've been meaning to do for awhile, including (but not limited to):
- Having some newer friends over for dinner Friday.
- Giving myself a much-needed haircut. It seems really short to me, but only one person noticed at church, so it's probably not obvious at all. I mean, it's more like armpit length than elbow length. My curls are so springy now!
- Catching up on all the ironing, while watching several episodes of Once Upon a Time. Such a fun show - why has no one told me to watch it? Maybe it's terrible and I just have bad taste!
- A much needed real date night. I mean, I pretty much call it a date any time John and I go out to dinner. But this was an official date. We're talking dinner, mini-golf, fro-yo. I'm a simple girl!
This outfit has nothing to do with the weekend. I actually wore it to work last Monday. I hope you are prepared to see these sandals quite a bit, because they will likely be a summer closet MVP.

This is Orion! Don't you love that name? I do. Not pictured are the chunkiest of chunky thighs — totally hilarious.
He is Miss Meredith's latest nanny charge, and she brought him over today so we could catch up for a bit before their next stop. I've been asking loads of friends to stop by with kids lately just to get Magda used to the smells and sounds of small children. Orion is 5 months and he was perfect around the pups. Not at all bothered by Merlin's raspy barks of excitement, and just a tad curious about Magda's wiggling. Which lasted about 2 minutes until she disappeared (as usual).
After Mere left, I roamed the house to find her. Oh, here she is.
Hiding under the dresser, despite her dog bed RIGHT THERE. (Also, do not judge me for all that dog hair. Please.) It took about 15 minutes after Orion had left the house for her to tiptoe out and get back to her normal self. Poor thing.
For your internet share today, did you guys hear the State Fair Craft Beer exhibit was robbed of $10,000 last week? Wow.

Plug-in-petrol-electric C-Class becomes an option even for the diesel's cars drivers
The C350e is another reason to weigh up the advantages of plug-in hybrid power over a conventional diesel engine in your next compact executive saloon.
With the Volkswagen Passat GTE, Volvo V60 D5 Twin Engine, Audi A3 Sportback e-tron and BMW 'iPerformance' 330e, there are now plenty of ways for benefit-in-kind tax payers to combine premium- brand ownership with a sub-50g/km electrified powertrain and end up in a faster and more efficient company car for a lower monthly outlay than that of a mid-range diesel. And it might offer value to a private buyer with the right kind of usage in mind.
Like the Passat GTE and unlike the V60, the C350e has an electric motor mounted in line with the combustion engine and upstream of a seven- speed automatic transmission.
With only 80bhp of electric power and 6.2kWh of battery storage, the C-Class offers less zero-emissions power and range than most rivals, but a relatively healthy 208bhp turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine makes this the only four-door PHEV of its kind capable of a sub-6.0sec 0-62mph time.
Mostly, this car appeals because it's a well-equipped C-Class at an attractive price. Available from just under £39,000, it will actually cost you less than an equivalent 94g/km C300h diesel hybrid once you deduct the government's £2500 PHEV car grant. For fleet drivers, the tax saving should more than offset the slightly higher monthly contract hire. To sweeten the deal further, Airmatic air suspension is thrown in as standard.
The interior is expensive-feeling, pleasant and solidly hewn. Packaging of the drive battery takes a sliver of boot space away, but it hardly makes a difference to the practicality. Back seats that fold 40/20/40 are standard and passenger space front and rear is competitive for the class, with room for bigger adults in the rear.
To drive, the C350e makes for a better limousine than it does a sports saloon. There are several drive modes, but even in Sport and Sport+ settings the steering feels rubbery and leaden off centre and the air springs struggle to maintain flat, the C350e will return about 50mpg. Use the car like any other, decline to bother to charge it and drive it with no regard for the talent of its powertrain to 'sail' and regenerate energy while braking and you'll see economy in the low 30s.
Short-range motorists who like the idea of an upmarket compact exec with a zero-emissions twist might be at home here. The C350e is actually competitively priced compared with higher-end C-Class diesels, and for those who don't do the mileage to see the benefit of a leggy oil-burner, it's got plenty to recommend it.
That it isn't more competitively priced compared with the PHEV competition may count against it, though, as will the fact that it doesn't offer more robust and longer-lasting electric-only running.
A surprisingly well-priced alternative to a diesel, but not the greatest example of the new PHEV breed
Price: £36,400 (after gov't grant)
Engine: 4cyls, 1991cc, turbo, petrol, plus electric motor
Power: 275bhp
Torque: 442lb ft
Gearbox: 7-speed automatic

NHS chiefs do not cook the books to swipe off money but to bring the NHS deficit down but would not need if Mr Cameron kept his word and invested £8billion as promised.
NHS was established in 1948 by Labour Leader Clement Atlee and is now destroyed by the Conservative Government. They have no right to tough it because it belongs to the people being paid through the National Insurance.
Hospitals show a deficit of £2.45billion for the year 2014/15.
The whistle-blower stated further that millions of pounds are being put through as income.
The final report by NHS Improvement points out the extra cost of £1.4billion for agency staff and around £145milion costs for "bed-blocking".
Again it shows up the Government irresponsibility not having put the promised £8billion into the NHS.
They not only ignore the fact of a great deficit but find the NHS an extra £498million financial penalty for not being able to meet the £316million worth of efficiency saving. They are despicable.
What kind of politics are they allowed to run?
This is not a call for a revolution but surely even a Government has its limit and to live up to their responsibility. If not the MPs are voted in to make sure they do.
Ever since 2010 the NHS is run down, sold off to contractor which have no other interest but pumping out money as much as possible.
The very idiotic idea of sacking 5,000 nurses and doctors with the excuse to save money and then employ agency staff is nothing but putting money into Mr Cameron's friends' pocket.
50 chief executives earning over £500,000 plus bonuses which adds to the expenses and is questionable if they are necessary. Mr Cameron took out £1million for his flagship experiment "Better Care" which sunk.
It is not only the NHS situation but number of other services have been cut down not to mention the Welfare cuts which have gone to far.
The Government forgets that they were voted in by the people and financed by the taxpayers they should be responsible to look after the people's interests. Ever since the Tory were elected they done everything else but that.
Therefore they should be accountable for their action and not do as they like and get away with it. Even so they are the majority but they still have a responsibility to the public.
Mr Cameron seems to be only there for himself and his friends while he screws the general public into the ground. He had his games for far too long and should be stopped.
His politics brings the country down to highest deficit for 67 years and added more debts of £115billion during 2014/15 despite austerity, cut back and privatisation.
So where does the money really go.

AUDI, BMW AND Mercedes-Benz have agreed to supply Here, a connected technology company they jointly own, with real-time sensor data collected by their cars to enable the use of advanced online services. The deal marks the first time a trio of leading brands has agreed to share data and it could spell the beginning of a fully connected car industry. "We're showing for the first time how you can take the value of rich sensor data coming from a vehicle and use it to do things that positively impact safety and efficiency," said Alex Mangan, Here's product marketing manager for connected driving.
"To make the most of connected systems, we all as an industry need each other. The cars need sensor data, and with this kind of agreement a Toyota vehicle, for example, can have an understanding of what the Jaguar Land Rover car saw down the road." Mangan believes that with three of the world's biggest car makers on board, others are more likely to follow. He said progress had been slow until now. "Every car maker knows that in order to do the things they want to do, they need to share data." he said. "But when it comes to the actual implementation, they think they still need to differentiate, so their data isn't immediately comparable." Mangan said this is where the challenge for Here lies. "The data coming from a BMW 3 Series is very different from a BMW 5 Series, and then it's even more different from an Audi and Mercedes. "Normalising data sets is therefore a massive challenge. We have to do a lot of processing in the cloud."

Q: What do you do when the organization's recognition programs reward the accomplishments of only the most visible workers (like salespeople) and people in the background feel turned off by all kinds of recognition?
A: As a leader you may not have much influence on the organizational programs that do not recognize the right things. But you can make sure that you recognize the right things in your own groups. Instead of getting caught up in trying to fix the organization, practice some of the behaviors listed in the LPI with your people. You have the ability to make your people feel very special—including those steady, solid people behind the scenes.
Take time each day to think about who you might want to recognize, how to recognize them in a way that's important to them, and when and/or where to recognize them. In addition to your direct reports or teammates, what about encouraging your boss or others up the senior management ladder? What might be some appropriate ways to do that? And what might the benefits be?
Showing appreciation and celebrating values and victories creates a spirit of community. It's important to remember that the practice Encourage the Heart is all about recognizing both individuals and the team as part of that community. And there are virtually unlimited ways to demonstrate that you appreciate everyone's contributions and accomplishments. Make it real. Make it timely. Make it meaningful. And never underestimate the power of a genuine and heartfelt "thank you."

Haydu's debut novel for teens is not for the emotionally faint of heart, but those who can withstand it won't ever regret accompanying Bea, a high school senior recently diagnosed with OCD, on a profoundly uncomfortable and frenetic journey dominated by her increasingly manic compulsions.
When Bea kisses a strange boy during a blackout at a school dance, it's clear she's a little eccentric, but it isn't until her therapist slips several pamphlets about OCD into Bea's hands that readers will recognize her more extreme tendencies for what they truly are. Haydu is a masterful wordsmith, and readers will likely find themselves ready to crawl out of their skin as Bea's need to perform certain rituals, even at the risk of alienating those she loves, becomes all-consuming. The one bright spot in Bea's life is a budding romance with Beck, the boy from the school dance, who resurfaces in Bea's group-therapy sessions. He's plagued by issues of his own, and Bea finds comfort in a new relationship with someone who also has "one foot outside the border and into crazytown." They are about as dysfunctional a pair as two people could be, but they're also heartbreakingly sweet and well-suited for one another.
A raw and well-crafted alternative to run-of-the-mill teen romances that also addresses tough mental health issues head-on. (Fiction. 14 & up)

The Next Big Thing
- It is no secret that we are riding the wave of a technological tsunami that has become an integral part of our daily lives as more of us are now using smartphones to do almost everything related to communications and the internet. But now, recent advances in technology have opened the door to IoT allowing us to remotely manage our home-based appliances, thermostats, security systems and other devices.
- This explosive growth has created the need for an IoT management system that provides fast, secure access to smart-home products and services from one, single source gateway.
- Unfortunately, there are no smart device management systems currently available to consumers, so we built an industry-first IoT dashboard designed to provide a superior user experience that delivers important product, service and usage information in real time.
- In addition, more enhanced features such as automated ordering, troubleshooting, maintenance & repair capabilities, and new product information are being developed.

Proteins are complex molecules which are made up of amino acids and are used as the building blocks for cell growth, maintenance and repair. Carbohydrates provide energy in the form of sugars and are mainly found in plants and grains.
Proteins are made up of 20 amino acids. Dogs can produce about half of these amino acids internally, the other half, termed essential amino acids, need to be provided by the diet. The 10 essential amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. It is crucial that diet is complete with all of these amino acids as if even one of these "essentials" is deficient, the body cannot make specific proteins effectively.
The biological value of proteins indicates how efficiently an animal utilizes them. For example if egg's value index is 100 in wheat it can be as low as 50. This value is high for proteins from meat, most meat by-products, eggs and dairy products. Dogs can digest these proteins efficiently and they provide amino acids in proportions suitable for tissue protein synthesis. In contrast, the biological value of most plant proteins is low, due to insufficiencies of specific amino acids and lower digestibility.
Carbohydrates typically make up 30-70 percent of a dry dog food. They come mainly from plants and grains, and provide energy in the form of sugars. Carbohydrates have several important functions in a dog food. The most important function of carbohydrates is to provide energy to the animal. Dogs are able to convert certain carbohydrate sources into simple sugars that are easily absorbed. Carbohydrate sources like potato, maize and apples contains fibers that helps to regulate bacteria in the colon. Fiber is not a required nutrient for dogs, but it is included in most dog foods because it helps keep your dog full, maintains colon health, aids digestion, and even helps control blood sugar levels in diabetic dogs.
