Nestled at the foot of Nevada's Eastern Sierra mountain range, Carson City affords visitors access to many scenic hiking trails. Carson City actually goes all the way to the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe and offers hikers year round access to the Carson River, 3 back country lakes, multiple mountain peaks, and to some unspoiled shoreline along Lake Tahoe. Depending on if you are out for an evening stroll with the entire family or out looking for adventure, the trails around Carson City offer you a little bit of everything.
Beginner hiking trails include a mile-long loop that winds along a portion of the Carson River at Riverview Park, a 109-acre natural area with miles of traversing trails, Longview Ranch, where 1.9 miles of paved paths connect with a portion of the old V&T Railroad. Dirt trails leave from the paved sections and take hikers who want more advanced climbs up the Sierra Nevada foothills and toward summits overlooking Lake Tahoe's wilderness.
Intermediate trails include The Waterfall Trail at the end of Kings Canyon Road, the trail system on Prison Hill, as well as the Spooner Lake Loop at Spooner Lake State Park or the Chimney Beach Trail off Hwy 28.
For the most adventurous continue from Spooner Lake up to Marlette Lake or Hobart Lake and access the world class Flume Trail. Closer to Carson City is the award winning Ash to Kings Canyon Trail, a 7 mile point to point hike that takes you past a waterfall and through multiple landscapes.
We are working on an interactive trail map of all the trail systems in Carson City with great information to help enjoy your time outdoors. Until then Check out the maps and guided hikes from Muscle Powered, our trail building organization, or, visit Trails.com

Play The Reverse Card
I find it useful to look at events with the roles reversed.
For several months now, Donald Trump and his supporters have claimed that they would put states in play for the GOP that have never been in play before. I have repeatedly been dismissive of their claims. But new polling shows that, in fact, Trump and his supporters are right. Donald Trump will put states in play for the GOP that have never been in play before.
Utah, the most Republican of all the Republican states, would go to Hillary Clinton according to new polling. If Trump is the nominee, the state that has always voted for a Republican Presidential nominee will suddenly go Democrat.
Trump and his supporters are right! They do put states in play that have never been put in play before.
By the way, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania all still go to Hillary, according to the polling.

Amazon and Microsoft use old-fashioned coal power – the stuff that causes climate change – for the electricity they need to store your e-mails, photos, music and videos. Take action now and tell these companies to make the Internet green.
Thank you for wanting to take action on dirty data centers.
This particular action has ended.
Every day, we use the Internet to stay connected to our friends and the things we care about.
As the Internet spreads around the world, it needs huge amounts of electricity, and we get to decide if that electricity should come from clean energy, like the wind turbines and solar panels we are seeing more every day.
The smartest companies in the world have made a decision to embrace the future: Google and Facebook are plugging their Internet infrastructure into the wind and sun, and now Apple is doing the same thanks to people like you who asked them to embrace clean power!
If other companies follow them, then the growing Internet help clean energy grow faster too, creating a brighter future for everyone.
Unfortunately, other Internet companies are still stuck in the past: Microsoft and Amazon still get their power from coal power, a 19th-century fuel that causes climate change. All the companies behind the Internet can get their power from clean sources, but they won't until they hear from you.
Send a quick note to the CEOs of Amazon and Microsoft asking them to make the Internet green, and commit to clean energy today.

At last, the 2015 Audi TT is official and the third-generation promises to be again captivating due to its emotional design and the dynamic qualities. As you can see the new TT is not a revolution in terms of design, as Audi returned to many of the lines used by the original version and placed them in a new context.
At the first model change in 2006, up to 90 kg (198.42 lb) were saved, and the 2.0 TFSI engine variant of the new TT weighs just 1,230 kg (2,711.69 lb). This makes it around 50 kg (110.23 lb) lighter than its predecessor. The interior was already shown and for those who don't know, the highlight is that the MMI screen and instrument cluster have been combined to form a central unit called Audi virtual cockpit.
Seven of the colors in the range are new for the TT, and two of these are completely new for Audi: Nano Gray and Tango Red. For the 2015MY, Audi offers the start-stop system as standard on the new TT. The TT 2.0 TFSI and the 2.0 TDI come as standard with 17" forged wheels in five-spoke design.

Luck of the draw: Will it be fear or fortune for Hodgson? Sportsmail brings you the dream World Cup scenario... as well as the Group of Death which could await England
On the evidence of recent defeats to Chile and Germany, Roy Hodgson will no doubt be hoping that Lady Luck boards the plane when England venture to South America next summer.
For without such favourable fortune, followers of the Three Lions will be left fearing the worst.
That being the case, the group-stage draw in Brazil on December 6 could prove just as pivotal as Hodgson's squad selection when it comes to determining England's chances.
Agony or ecstasy? Roy Hodgson will discover England's World Cup fate next month
So what is the dream scenario? And, conversely, which countries would make for a perilous pairing?
Using the projected pots – of which there are four, forming eight groups – Sportsmail investigates…
Second round here we come!
'And completing Group F alongside Switzerland, Iran and Algeria, is… England.'
Switzerland – They waltzed unbeaten through qualifying and that goes some way to explaining their seeded status. They did, though, emerge from a group which contained the likes of Albania and Cyprus, while Iceland were their biggest rivals.
On top top of the World: Switzerland celebrate their qualification last month
As far as the number-one pot is concerned, the Swiss are as easy as it gets, a price of 125-1 contradicting their presence at the top table.
Iran – Geography dictates that the all-European pot (in which England are housed) must be paired with one team from Central America or Asia. That, hopefully for Hodgson, will bring the Iranians into play.
Flying the flag: Iran will be one of four representatives of Asian at the finals
Former Manchester United No 2 Carlos Queiroz may be at the helm but Iran, in three appearances at the finals, have never made it beyond the group stage.
Fifteen of their latest squad are based in their homeland and, at odds of 1,500-1, they are the rank outsiders for the trophy.
Algeria – As far as qualifying goes, squeezing through following a play-off against African minnows Burkina Faso is not normally a forerunner to success on the big stage.
We have been here before, however, just four years ago, in fact.
Blast from the past: Wayne Rooney criticises the England fans for booing their team following the goalless draw with Algeria at the 2010 World Cup
For it was in South Africa that England stuttered to a sour goalless draw which, in the wake of derision from the travelling fans, triggered Wayne Rooney's infamous verbal volley to the cameras aimed at his own supporters.
But with odds as high as 2,500-1 in some quarters, Hodgson's boys would be expected to brush them aside.
Let's book our return flights now!
'And completing Group A alongside Brazil, France and Mexico, is… England.'
Brazil – Hosts, five-time winners and favourites; whoever is paired with the Brazilians you would assume is scrapping it out for second place. Okay, England did nick a 2-2 draw in Rio at the end of last season, but their subsequent domination of the Confederations Cup was spellbinding.
Drawing on positives: Wayne Rooney scored as England drew 2-2 with Brazil earlier this year
Gold standard: Brazil, including Chelsea's David Luiz, were impressive as they swept to victory at the Confederations Cup
World champions Spain were humbled 3-0 in the final and Brazil were jettisoned to the top of the betting market.
For England, the prospect of taking on Brazil in the tournament curtain-raiser amid the hostile heat of the Maracana would surely be a horrifying one.
Mountain to climb: If England were paired with Brazil it would certainly prove a tall order. Pictured here is Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio
France – Yes, they stumbled through qualifying, but doing so merely served to highlight their devastating capability on their day.
They needed to make history by becoming the first team to reverse a two-goal, play-off deficit.
And that they duly did as Ukraine were beaten 3-0 in Paris on Tuesday night. The performance sparked much eulogy in the French press and it could be argued they now boast momentum as opposed to England's inertia.
Allez Les Bleus: France booked their place in Brazil following Tuesday night's 3-0 win over Ukraine
Mexico – See above. A draw-laden qualifying campaign is long forgotten back in Mexico City following the triumph of their 9-3 aggregate play-off victory over New Zealand.
Acclimatisation will not be an issue for the Central Americans and they have a proud World Cup history. Indeed, they have now qualified for more World Cups (15) than any other nation who is yet to win the tournament.
We have take off: Paul Aguilar celebrates scoring during Mexico's 9-3 aggregate play-off win over New Zealand
Frustrated Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez could well be viewing the finals as something of a shop window, and that could spell bad news for the country he has called home for the past four years.

World Cup 2014 - How the draw could work
FIFA will not confirm the details of the draw format until next month. What we do know is that the top seeds (Pot 1) will consist of Brazil as the hosts and the other best seven nations according to the FIFA rankings from October, ie Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay and Switzerland.
FIFA have also said the rest will be defined on "geographic and sports criteria" which basically means they will try to keep those apart who have qualified from the same regions.
In 2010, Pot 2 was Asia, N&C America and the Caribbean; Pot 3 was Africa and South America and in Pot 4 were the "other European" nations.
Then FIFA kept apart teams to make sure there were no more than two European teams in each group and all the other confederations were separated.
In 2014, there is an extra European team floating around outside Pot 1 and one less South American team, so an adjustment will have to be made. France, for example, as the lowest ranked European qualifier could go into Pot 3 with Africa and South America and then be kept apart from the top seeded European teams.
Here's how it could work:
Pot 1: Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay and Switzerland.
Pot 2: Australia, Iran, Japan, South Korea, Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, USA.
Pot 3: Algeria, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Chile, Ecuador, France.
Pot 4: Bosnia, Croatia, England, Greece, Holland, Italy, Portugal, Russia.
But you never can tell with FIFA. In 2006, they opted for a more complicated formula featuring previous World Cup performances.

Return to: Misher College of Arts and Sciences
Chemistry is a fundamental science that is critical to the understanding of many other scientific and health professional fields. An understanding of the molecular nature of substances, and how they react, enables one to understand how they can best be used to improve our lives.
Over the years, chemists have contributed enormously to the health and well-being of their fellow human beings. Physicians, for example, may prescribe lifesaving drugs; but chemists discover them and make them. The efficiency and productivity of U.S. and worldwide agriculture is due in no small part to the chemical fertilizers and insecticides that chemists have synthesized. Chemists also play an important role in evaluating and treating environmental problems (i.e., "green chemistry") and help to address national security concerns, such as the detection of chemical weapons and explosives.
Chemists are employed in industries as diverse as petroleum refining, food processing, cosmetics, rubber, plastics, fabrics, and energy production. In government labs, they monitor the environment and the purity of our foods and drugs, and in forensic chemistry laboratories, they identify and assist in prosecuting criminals. Many teach the wonders of science in settings from junior high school to university. Some chemistry majors use their degrees as the basis for professional training in medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, law, or business.
To qualify for the bachelor of science in biochemistry, a minimum of 129 credit hours of approved courses is required, including courses in the natural and social sciences, mathematics, humanities, and communications, which are required to meet the University general education curriculum.
A minimum of 45 credit hours of courses in all areas of chemistry and 16 credit hours in biology is required, along with supporting courses in mathematics and physics as indicated below. These courses also satisfy 13 credit hours of the general education curriculum.
American Chemical Society certification of the degree can be obtained by inclusion of selected chemistry courses as part of the 45 credit hours required, together with additional electives. Students are also strongly encouraged to complete as part of their degree program, an undergraduate research project with the guidance of a department faculty member.
In order to earn a degree from the Misher College of Arts and Sciences, a student must complete thirty (30) in-residence credits at a University campus. Fifteen (15) of the thirty in-residence credits must be at the 300 level or higher. In-residence credits are defined as credits for courses offered by the University for which a student receives credit and a grade that can contribute to the student's calculated grade point average.
Passing the writing proficiency examination is a graduation requirement for students who entered in Catalog Year 2008 or earlier (see Catalog Year for Degree Requirements). Students who have failed the examination are urged to seek assistance from the Writing Center.
(ST 310 should be selected only after consultation with a chemistry advisor)
Students must choose a minimum of 6 credits from any combination of the courses listed below. A maximum of 3 credits of CH 450 and CH 480 can be used to meet this requirement, and both courses require the approval of the department chair prior to registration. Additional courses, including graduate courses, may be selected with the approval of the department chair.
(May not be offered every year)
(May be repeated)
Students may take advantage of the opportunity to integrate their BS degree program with one of the graduate degree programs offered through the department in either chemistry or biochemistry, including the MS (non-thesis), MS (thesis) and PhD programs. Students should consult with the department's graduate program director regarding the differences among the various options and the specific requirements that they need to meet in order to enroll in the integrated program. Students may apply to the integrated program at any point prior to the beginning of the fourth year of their BS program. However, because not all graduate courses are offered every year, the time required to complete a BS/MS integrated program will depend in part on when students enter the program.
Students entering in Catalog Year 2008 (graduating class of 2012)—with general education.

Thank you so much for your kind words.
hey Chiara! very nice nail polish color you used for this post- please let me know if after applying it the nails structure is it damaged - like yellowish dots.I would like to give it a try since my actual nail polish are not so chip resistant.ReplyDelete
thank you for the post!
Hi dear,Delete
I really can't tell you beacuse I'm actually wearing gel nails under it.
What I can suggest you is to use a nail base coat. In fact you should always wear a clear base coat, which helps the polish stick to your nail more easily. It also creates a barrier that helps protect your nails from the damaging effects of nail polish. And plus it prevents staining and peeling, and it will give your polished nails a more even texture.

We use a thorough process with our own in-house mechanics to ensure we don't buy cars with suspect maintenance histories.
One of the biggest fears people have when they buy a car is buying someone else's problems and get stuck with a lemon.
It's difficult for the individual consumer to try to make that determination on their own. Our acquisition process for our inventory is rather extensive. We spend eight to 12 hours EVERY WEEK week analyzing used vehicles that are available for sale . We do a complete background check on the vehicles through CarFax so when we buy the used car, we know the car has service records behind it. We ask all our customers to do the same. We evaluate the marketplace for that specific model car. This ensures the price we pay will be a very competitive and fair price. When the vehicle gets to the dealership, put it through our 144 point certification process.
This process actually mirrors the Maryland state inspection process, the toughest process in the nation. So if you get a car from our dealership, this car has been hand picked for i's value, as well as serviced and reconditioned. You can be certain, we've evaluated the entire automobile, any thing broken we have repaired. You get basically a well running car that has a service background, and one we guarantee a 100 percent, parts and labor, which is the most comprehensive warranty you can get from a car dealership anywhere in the country.
This is the service we may be most proud of: we offer our clients this free every 6 month safety and maintenance evaluation. This is the same recommended service if you bought a new car from Chevrolet, they recommend every six months to take the car back in to their dealership for a check up. They would also charge you anywhere from $100 to $250. Auto Maxx Dover does it for free. We do that service here at our shop.
Why do we do that?
So you become an informed consumer. We WANT informed, practical and frugal customers. Other dealers are preying on the uninformed car buyers, trying to increase the loan amount of their customers by waving hyped up "upgrades", with no care at all for the customer's financial well being. We can not do that. Our values are centered in sound financial practices. We value practicality and saving money, not spending it. You see, with our warranty program, if you get a small problem, i's better handled then as a lower expense than ignoring it and letting it turn into a big expensive emergency! We say "Let's repair it before it becomes a major problem tha's financially too difficult to handle. This warranty works for both our end goals. It le's us extend the life expectancy of your vehicle! Done this way, it makes used cars the better alternative to buying new cars, a depreciating asset, at full price. You get to keep it longer, as well as not having to buy replacement cars as frequent. That is truly the most important thing we do for our clients' financial well being.
This process is employed on every vehicle we consider buying, but as you may have heard, the recent hurricanes have made this even more important. All over the country, used car lots are seeing vehicles from the hurricane hit areas of the country tried to be passed off as vehicles with no flooding damage. We will NOT take these vehicles unless they are completely upgraded and repaired to our high expectations.
So important is the maintenance records of the used cars or trucks that we sell, we have the most unique Used Car Warranty in the country.
Ask us about this program, and how we can finance anyone for used cars in Dover

Google Wages War on Gender
Ok, not really. But I can imagine that being a headline of some inflammatory "news" article. 🗞
They're working to remove implicit, societal gender bias from machine translations in Google Translate by changing the underlying architecture of the machine learning model they use. Basically, the model now produces a masculine and feminine version and then determines which is most likely needed. It appears that in some cases, like translating from the gender-neutral Turkish language, the system will return both versions. ✌
This is after they announced that all gender pronouns will be removed from Gmail's Smart Compose feature because it was showing biased tendencies with its recommendations. 📧
It's early in the process but it appears that they are dedicated to this work and have big dreams. 🔮
This is just the first step toward addressing gender bias in machine-translation systems and reiterates Google's commitment to fairness in machine learning. In the future, we plan to extend gender-specific translations to more languages and to address non-binary gender in translations.

The Campaign to End Loneliness, an organisation that works to tackle loneliness in older age, is launching in Peterborough. The launch event, held in partnership with Peterborough City Council, takes place next week on Monday 4th December.
The event will:
- Explore the issue of loneliness in later life in Peterborough
- Celebrate the best local practice to support older people to remain connected
- Include a 'Loneliness and Men' discussion, with panel of older men and the Men's Shed Association
There are almost 30,000 people aged 65 and over in the city - and a third of those people live alone. These figures reflect national statistics. The people living alone could be going for days or weeks at a time without meaningful contact with others, and the effects of this can be devastating.
Loneliness is as bad for you as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and worse for you than obesity. Lonely people are more likely to suffer from dementia, heart disease and depression. This puts a strain on NHS services, and destroys the quality of life of older people.
The stigma of loneliness is huge too. Three quarters of over-65s (76%) say they would find it hard to admit to feeling lonely because they do not want to be a burden. This is isolating older people all over Peterborough and nationwide.
Andy Nazer, Campaign Manager for the Campaign to End Loneliness, said:
"Loneliness is a major issue nationally, and one which isn't spoken about enough. Our campaign aims to get all partners - locally, regionally and nationally - talking about loneliness. We can share best practice case studies from all around the UK, and access some of the leading specialists in this area.
"We're delighted to be launching the Campaign in Peterborough as we know there are proven benefits in getting everyone involved in the same room talking on this subject.
"The human need for friendship and support does not go away with age. Whether we are 24 or 84, we all need connections that matter. With Christmas just a few weeks away, it's a great time to highlight loneliness in Peterborough and around the UK, and work out how we can tackle it."
Cllr Wayne Fitzgerald, Cabinet Member for Integrated Adult Social Care and Health for Peterborough City Council, said:
"We have some really strong partner organisations and volunteering groups here in Peterborough that work really hard to help individuals that identify themselves as lonely.
"However, there's still lots of work to do. Many residents, particularly men, don't speak up if they are experiencing loneliness and instead suffer in silence, significantly damaging their physical and mental health.
"This campaign launch will gather everyone in a room together to talk specifically about loneliness, and what can else can be done to combat this often hidden condition."

Rupert Boneham is an American mentor for troubled teens, who became known to reality television audiences in 2003 as a contestant on Survivor: Pearl Islands where he placed 8th. He later appeared on the All-Stars, Heroes vs. Villains, and Blood vs. Water seasons of Survivor, placing 4th, 6th, and 20th respectively. He was ultimately a fan favorite among Survivor viewers, who voted him the million dollar winner on Survivor: America's Tribal Council, a special episode of Survivor: All-Stars. The prize was awarded after a nationwide popular vote in which Boneham received 85% of the votes cast.
Boneham was the 2012 Libertarian nominee for governor of Indiana, losing to Republican Mike Pence, who later became Vice President.
Rupert Boneham has been a guest on 5 episodes.

Weekend Warriors
Anyone who knows me for any short time will know that i have a total dislike for the breed of apologist bikers that has grown up since the "instant cool school" started buying harleys and any bikes , started in thelate 80's early 90's. lol
I once asked a couple of guys sitting outside Picasso;s cafe in Londons Chelsea Kings Road " are you guys goin to Bulldog next week ? " and the reply ...." no we dont usually go to festivals but we do all ride up to the Hardrock every thursday ".............lol ..............hahaha hey but they did have bandannas and genuine shiney davidson leather jackets ! so they must be bikers eh ? Tossers!
anyway getting back to the point of all this ....which i rarely do ! lol
I just visited the "Biktoberfest" site for an update on last weeks gathering in Daytona. oh my dissappointment to see that the same weekend warrior attitude of " we are bikers but we are not bad boys, please like us " is rife even there .................yep instead of the usual riders rights type of ads we are used to there was a box stating "Loud Pipes Risk Rights".WTF my head went into an"exorcist" swivel on my body and the deep tone of the prince of darkness emanated from my busty-teethed gob..
"f**k em ......F**k em in the ass ....Motherf**ers"
take a look and laugh http://biketoberfest.org/loud.cfm
F***ing apologists .....whatever happened to the spirit of "if you dont like what you see F**k you ! "
why dont we all just write a letter to "the man" ....." Dear Sir, can you please send me your rules on being wild and rebellious bikers .........so we know what we are allowed to do ................."

Hells Angels MC sueing Department of Homeland Security
Makes you wonder if the US Department of Homeland Security don't have anything better to do with their time . I read the story on Bykuz.com and wish respect and success to the Angels in their taking these idiots to task on what is a matter of principle. Count the number of RICO [ Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,] actions that have failed in relation to 1%er clubs.and in particular when they went after Sonny Barger...in the late 70's early 80's.[More on this]
How long before they extend their criteria beyond the clubs and to " bieng a biker" as the necessary requirement.
Any subculture will by it's very definition be a microcosm of the mainstream society in which it exists and will mirror the characteristics of the main society in many ways . Just as there is a certain proportion of individuals engaged in acts (defined by the mainstream society) of a perceived criminal nature in the mainstream society , there will be a similar proportion involved within the sub-culture.[ it is also important to consider that the mainstream societies definition of criminal acts may be such as to render certain lifestyles impossible without those acts, and may indeed have been deliberately designated as criminal in order to impose controls and facilitate criminal sanction on those subcultures.(anyone remember how the law in England- the Police and Criminal Justice Act 1994 was instigated in order to stop Raves and then attempted to stop gatherings of other types such as Biker festivals.? more on this here ).
The Authorities worldwide have failed dismally on many occasions to prove in court that clubs such as the Angels are criminal organisations 'per se' .
Who watches the watchers .......we should be watching these things so they do not chip away at our lifestyles and freedoms bit by bit without us realising until it is too late .

Adele is just full of surprises.
While you might think there isn't much about the singer's inner self that hasn't already been shared with fans courtesy of her deeply personal songs, well, one glimpse of the revelations from a new (unauthorized) biography, the practically titled Adele: The Biography, out this week, proves that theory wrong.
So what have we learned about the Brit belter? How about she had a brief foray into online dating, and harbors a reluctant royal crush on Prince Harry. And that's just for starters. Hey, those gingers have got to stick together.

The story of the company begins at the end of the 1930's when, after the old Ha'Emek railway had set fire to the settlements' grain fields over and over again and the insurance companies had refused to cover this risk, a handful of the kibbutzim of the time decided to adopt the basic idea of mutual insurance and established the mutual agricultural insurance fund.
That mutual fund has come a long way since then. Beginning with field and crops fire insurance, the fund then added coverage for supplies to the farms, tractors and vehicles and, over the course of the years, industrial and liabilities insurance, and in recent years we have also established a subsidiary, the successful Atudot pensions fund.
Over the years the mutual agricultural fund went through several changes of name before finally settling on Bituach Haklai Central Cooperative Society Ltd., which is owned by 279 kibbutzim ,moshavim and associations in the agricultural settlement sector, acts as an insurance company in every sense of the term, authorised to operate in all branches of insurance and, like every other Israeli insurer, subject to state inspection.
Some 65% of all the society's revenues emanate from insurances for kibbutzim and plants and businesses connected with them, and some 35% emanate from insurances for the private sector through selected insurance agents. Faced with the need to find appropriate solutions to the size and complexity of kibbutz industry (we insure some 310 plants for more than four billion dollars), the company have attained a high level of expertise in this branch of insurance and operate with the backing of leading international reinsurers, who grant a unique and particularly wide-scale reinsurance coverage.
With the beginning of the 70th year of the compamy existence, it now have an annual revenue turnover of some NIS.540,000,000, generated by some 100,000 policies of various types in the general insurance industry. At the beginning of 2002, the new Bituach Haklai management defined it's goals and objectives as follows:-To be a prosperous, innovative insurance company that works throughout the agricultural sector and in all branches of insurance in accordance with business and economic criteria, providing its clients with professional, honest, reliable services, thus ensuring that insureds will continue to find it worth while to place their trust in the company.

Scintillating, I know.
The Bus Stop
My kids' bus stop has always fascinated me. It's such an interesting little study of a disparate group of people thrown together on a daily basis. Every year it is different. A big part of me hates the bus stop—mostly just during November and December (and January, February, March, and a third of April)—but I show up there every day nonetheless.
My first year at the bus stop was when Sam was in kindergarten. That year the only people getting kids off the bus were me and a middle schooler who picked up his brother. They then walked over to a metro bus stop and took a regular bus home. I think they had a grandparent living in my school's area. I made them come over to my house one day when it was raining too hard for me to let them stand at the city bus stop. I fed them cookies and had them wait until it stopped raining so hard before they left.
Every year since then, more and more kids have started taking the bus to and from our stop. I don't know if more kids are moving into the neighborhood, or they're consolidating stops, or what, but it's turned into quite the happening corner in the early afternoon. The bus stop population seems to have peaked last year. We had quite the crowd then.
I was definitely the outsider in that crowd last year though. Most of the parents either spoke only Spanish or were bilingual, so they all chatted in Spanish. Every one would talk and laugh and I would stand sadly to the side, catching every sixth word or so. It was disconcerting. And it made me understand a little better what it must be like to be a Spanish speaker in this country.
This year, one week into the school year, the folks at the bus stop haven't really gelled yet. There are a couple of old standbys, but everyone kind of spreads out on all the different corners.
Jack's bus usually arrives first and although technically Jack gets dropped off in front of my house, I have the best bus driver in the world and she will let Jack off wherever I am in the block and a half between my driveway and the bus stop. She's been Jack's afternoon bus driver for four years now and I LOVE her.
Yesterday was the first day that she let Jack off at the actual bus stop, which is always entertaining, because it confuses the hell out of everyone else. Why is the bus smaller than usual? Why is only one kid getting off? If her kid just got off the bus, why is she still waiting? Where is my child?!
But there we are. We spread our special education awareness wherever we can.
The Commute
We did have some excitement the other day when Quinn got on the wrong bus, which means that he wasn't on the bus that stopped at our bus stop. I figured that as long as he didn't panic and get off at the wrong stop that he would eventually end up back at the school, and he did. He was a little bit put out, but not overly upset. Maybe deep-seated anxiety skips the blonds in our family.
I asked Quinn when he figured out that he was on the wrong bus and he said, "When it didn't go home." There you have it. I had a pang of sadness when I realized that all last year, Quinn had Sam to help him figure out where to go, but now he doesn't.
Also, Jack and Quinn spend a good amount of time navigating their way home from school only to have me scoop them up and drive them back to the school not too much later, which is where Sam's bus drops him off. But it is working for us.
I can't tell you how the bus stop is in the morning these days, because we're not there. And, hoo boy, do I miss it. There is nothing like an hour of commuting in the morning to remind you of how easy it is to walk your kids to the bus stop two minutes away.
Both of my kids' schools have the exact same 20-minute drop off window in the morning, which is aaaaalmost long enough. As of now, we drop Sam off early, then I drop Jack and Quinn off late. It's just a couple of minutes on each end, but I'm waiting for the day I get yelled at by both schools. Maybe if I whine loudly and often enough about trying my damnedest, they'll let me slide.
And that's the bus stop.

Velux Loft Conversions in Bristol
What is a Velux Conversion?
You may have heard Velux conversions being called a "rooflight" due to the type of windows that are typically installed – Velux windows. These are considered the least intrusive type of conversion as the shape or style of the roof is not altered. The current roof is simply reinforced and Velux windows are added into the roof to improve the natural light if the loft.
Main appeal
Velux's are a relatively cheap and quick way to add an extra room to your property versus the other options we typically install.
Price range
Although price varies significantly based on the final design, our starting price for a Velux is around £18,000. To get a better picture of what it might cost you, give us a call on 0117 290 0295 so we can arrange for a property inspection with one of our experienced architectural surveyors.
Our team should be in and out within 3-4 weeks. However, the more complex the requirement, you should expect the time frame to be extended further.
Any major planning issues to consider?

MTPV creates semiconductor chips that convert heat directly into electricity. Much like solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, MTPV's EBLADE™ Power Platform converts any source of heat into electricity with breakthrough efficiency and power.
MTPV generates electric power from a free waste source thus reducing CO2 and thermal emissions, so we help industries become more efficient while improving their environmental footprint. Up to 60% of the energy expended in the world today is emitted in the form of waste heat. As such, waste heat is a vast and largely untapped energy resource. MTPV's approach taps that huge energy pool to produce clean electric power with no CO2 emissions while reducing the temperature of waste heat emissions.
MTPV stands for Micron-gap ThermoPhotoVoltaics.
The EBLADE Power Platform can be seen HERE >>
The EBLADE™ Power Platform is in customer pilot phase with plans to be commercially available in 2018. Pricing details will be available at that time.
The initial research on harnessing the near-field effect using the MTPV approach was made by our founder Bob DiMatteo in the labs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This work was further refined at Draper Laboratory prior to the formation of MTPV Power Corporation.
The MTPV design forms an incredibly small and even gap (about 1/1000th the diameter of a human hair) between two surfaces, one extremely hot (up to 1400°C / 2550°F), and the other at or below room temperature. Our ability to operate in this extreme state enables us to generate far more power than other chip based solutions – delivering a state-state power generator with essentially no moving parts.
When using waste heat as the energy source the MTPV EBLADE Power Platform is a 100% clean, carbon free power source that also reduces the temperature of industrial thermal emissions thereby positively impacting climate change on multiple dimensions. Compared to traditional solar PV solutions, the MTPV solution can generate power consistently 24×7 without concern for day/night cycles or weather impacts. Compared to traditional heat engines (Organic Rankine Cycle or Stirling Engine) the MTPV solution is mechanically simple with few moving parts for high reliability and uptime. Compared to ThermoElectric and ThermoPhotoVoltaic offerings, the MTPV solution can generate a significantly higher level of power.
The breakthrough that MTPV is pioneering is in the mechanism of harnessing the nearfield effect using nano-scale devices to capture photonic energy with a photovoltaic cell. This approach was invented by our founder Bob DiMatteo.
A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a solid-state device that converts the temperature differences between two different materials directly into electrical energy through a phenomenon called the Seebeck effect. While both a TEG and an MTPV device are solid state electric generators, the process by which power is generated is completely different. Compared to MTPV, TEG typically operates in much lower temperature environments and generates a fraction of the power. With no gap – hot & cold side direct contact => they degrade in high temps; we can uniquely access way higher temps therefore higher energy densities because of the gap.
ThermoPhotoVoltaic (TPV) devices consist of a heated body which radiates electromagnetic energy across a gap onto a photovoltaic device, converting the radiant power into electrical power. The amount of power generated from a given TPV device area is constrained by the temperature of the hot side of the device and generally requires very high temperatures thereby creating barriers to its practical use. By contrast, Micron-gap TPV (MTPV) provides a significant breakthrough in power source technology – transferring more power between the emitter and receiver by reducing the size of the gap between them. By employing a submicron gap (less than one millionth of a meter), the achievable power density for MTPV can be increased approximately ten times compared to conventional TPV.
Deploying the MTPV solution
MTPV is partnered with some of the largest players in global oil & gas, glass and steel production to ensure access to high quality industrial heat when this groundbreaking new technology is introduced to the marketplace.
The EBLADE™ Power Platform can be deployed in temperatures of up to 1400° Celsius (2552° Fahrenheit).
MTPV's initial target markets are in high quality industrial waste heat environments including oil & gas processing, glass and steel furnaces, cement kilns, chemical manufacturing, thermal oxidizing and landfill/biomass flaring.
Company Information
MTPV Power Corporation holds the fundamental patents to the MTPV concept as well as 84 patents awarded and pending worldwide regarding the application of the MTPV effect in the generation of electric power. We also have more than 50 intellectual property disclosures in support of our ongoing research and development initiatives.
Our investors include Spinnaker Capital, Lake Bridge Capital, Applied Materials, SABIC, Total Energy Ventures, Ensys Capital, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Clean Energy Venture Group. These investors bring MTPV a wealth of experience in clean energy venture capital investing, oil & gas, steel, petrochemicals and semiconductors.

Blagojevich begins prison sentence
After stopping at a fast food joint for a last meal, Rod Blagojevich entered a federal prison in Colorado on Thursday afternoon to start serving his 14-year sentence for corruption.
The former Illinois governor drove around in circles in a black SUV, passing the prison twice, before stopping at Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers for a last meal."He ordered a double patty melt, fries and a soda but didn't finish the meal," Josh Andreakos, the general manager, said, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Story Continued Below
Just before noon local time, Blagojevich and his lawyers got back on Kipling Parkway and arrived at Englewood, a low-security facility in Littleton, Colo., located 15 miles southwest of Denver. The former governor circled the lot for a parking spot and finally emerged, giving a wave to the cameras.
Then Blagojevich walked through the prison doors. He can expect a cavity search and to have everything taken from him but his wedding ring once he's processed.
Earlier Thursday morning, Blagojevich stepped out of his house in the darkness of dawn to dozens of reporters and camera crews as he departed for prison just after 6 a.m. in Chicago, and he told the crowd that he's "leaving with a heavy heart, a clear conscience."
Blagojevich lingered for just a few minutes at O'Hare International Airport to talk to reporters.
"Saying goodbye's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I'm leaving with a heavy heart, a clear conscience … I have high, high hopes for the future," he said.
He also noted that the people of Ravenswood Manor can finally "get their neighborhood back. I'll see you guys when I see ya," he said, before stepping into a dark sedan.
( Also on POLITICO: VIDEO: Blagojevich's 10 craziest quotes)
As the car finally pulled away and began making its way to the airport, at least one local Chicago TV station had a chopper tracking the vehicle. Within the hour, Blagojevich had arrived at O'Hare and could be seen smiling and taking pictures with fellow travelers and signing autographs to some that approached him with a paper and pen.
On Wednesday, an unrepentant Blagojevich held a news conference to say that he was preparing for the start of a "dark and hard journey" that he called "the hardest thing I've ever had to do."
"I am proud as I leave and enter the next part of what is a dark and hard journey that I can take with me the sense of accomplishment and the real belief that the things I did as governor and the things I did as congressman have actually helped real, ordinary people," Blagojevich said outside of his home, surrounded by the media and a mob of vocal supporters.

How to Enable File and Printer Sharing (Windows 7 and 8)
You can turn your humble Windows client computer running Windows 7 or Windows 8 into a server computer so that other computers on your network can use your printer and any folders that you decide you want to share. In effect, your computer functions as both a client and a server at the same time. A couple of examples show how:
It's a client when you send a print job to a network printer or when you access a file stored on another server's hard drive.
It's a server when someone else sends a print job to your printer or accesses a file stored on your computer's hard drive.
Here are the steps to enable file and printer sharing in Windows 7:
Click the Start button, type Control Panel, and press Enter.
This step opens the Control Panel.
Double-click the Network and Sharing Center icon and then click Change Advanced Sharing Settings.
This step opens the Advanced Sharing Settings page, which lists network settings for each network you're connected to.
For a home computer running Windows 7: Two networks are listed: Home or Work, and Public.
In Windows 8: The Home or Work network is called Private.
For a computer connected to a domain network: A third network named Domain is listed.
Click the down arrow next to the network you want to enable file and printer sharing for.
For a home computer: Click the down arrow next to Home or Work (Windows 7) or Private (Windows 8).
For a computer connected to a domain network: Click the down arrow next to Domain.
The figure shows the settings for a Domain network. The settings for a Home or Work network are the same.
Do not enable file or printer sharing for the Public network. Enabling file or printer sharing on a public network exposes your computer's data to other users on the same public network.
Select the Turn on File and Printer Sharing option.
Click the Save Changes button.
This action saves your changes and closes the Advanced Sharing Settings page.

Oh, boy do I feel cheated! Gone, gone are the honeymoon days when I had this wonderful love affair with my brand shiny new MyTouch. The bride turned out to be a little bit too old, not very smart and missing some very important qualities.
To my own horror I found myself lurking in the dark corners of the blogosphere, catching glimpses of new sexy things to come, enviously reading about all of the glamorous and exciting things they will do for their lucky masters. Fast, slick, young…
No, I definitely have cheated, there's the only one way out – dump your old beau and get this seductress who will softly whisper in my ear "Drooooiiiiiid". Hmmm… Tempting!
But on the second thought, it will probably cost me an arm and a half of a leg to bail out of the contract and switch carriers. Besides that, big T will probably start rolling "Eclairs" within a month so my already trusted phone will get just as smart. I do enjoy the fact that I can have a family plan and unlimited net and still pay under $100/month. I'm not missing things like physical keyboard (I'm a programmer, I'm practically attached to the computer) and I like the shape, the weight and the fact that I can put it in the pocket and forget that I even have the phone. Plus, even the newest of phones will grow old at some point too.
But there is a silver lining! After all, time is on my side©. I can't even imagine what sort of a beast is awaiting me on the other end of my 2 year contract. What do you think is waiting for us over the rainbow?

Denizli, which was a small town of 12.000 people in the 1920' s when the Turkish Republic was founded. Today, it is the second industry and tourism center in Aegean Region after Izmir, with its population of 800.000. Today Denizli, that is located on fruitful fields and has an historical past, is the 23th of Turkey provinces for population, 13th for economical activities and 9th for development of industry.
The velocity of textile industry progress in Denizli has been an important factor that motivates the improvement of textile industry in Turkey. In spite of weaving had been made by hand or semi automatic weaving machines for along country marketing till 1980, in 1980's recognition of exportation politics lead people to build up new and modern industry plants. As a result, along with the rapid production increase took place in 1980's, exportation made from Denizli has grown bigger year by year and reached approximately 1 billion dollars today. Still now, at modern plants, alongside the mainly producted towel, bathrobe and bed sheet, a huge production is being made in textile area and exportation is provided to over 100 countries.
Denizli have been successful in integrating into the global market via İzmir and İstanbul. Denizli manufacturers have increased their textile exports to the EC and the USA in recent years. There are some important indicators of the growing integration of local markets into the global economy. The economic reports of the Chambers of Industry and Commerce point to an increasing rate of exports from Denizli to the USA and Western Europe since the 1980s. The export values of towel and bathrobe, greatest portions of textile and clothing export products of Denizli, has reached the 50% of total amount of exports that Turkey summed up on these products. Along with EU countries like Germany, United Kingdom and France exportation is being done to the countries like USA and Canada too. Especially the bathrobe export made to the USA in the scope of CAT.350 is the one to pay attention. The 40% of import made by USA in the scope of CAT.350 from all over the world is provided by Turkey and the 70% of this portion is provided by Denizli.
Denizli has a wide range of businesses integrated into the Istanbul and Izmir markets as well as the national market. Apart from textiles, the main crafts are iron and metal work, food processing, plastics, wooden furniture and tanning workshops.
Denizli is also lucky to have a diverse economy. Apart from industrial and service firms, it also has a fertile agricultural hinterland, and rich historical and natural resources.
International tourism has been developing fast in recent years and the city is visited by more than one million tourists every year. Its location along the popular tourist routes of Izmir, Antalya and Cappadocia increases Denizli's potential to attract a larger number of tourists. This potential encourages service investments in the town.

How does one properly setup Distributed Processing for Summation or eDiscovery?
There are certain things (e.g., Unitization, SWF on the fly, etc.) that require the presence of an engine on the app server (i.e., the server where WCF is installed). In a single server environment, there will be an engine on the app server. When we add DPEs into an environment we have to make sure we install an engine on the app server. This engine MUST be a DPE. It cannot be a local engine.
For example:
If there is no engine on the WCF server, things like unitization will fail.
If there is a local processing engine on the WCF server, communication back to the processing manager from the distributed processing engine(s) will be disrupted (i.e., things will not work). Installing a distributed processing engine on the WCF server, but not adding it to the distributed processing manager (DPM) configuration is the correct way.
This is how things need to be set up.
Distributed Processing done right!

Jesus Christ » Son of God
From a personal study of scripture
pertaining to this subject
Matthew 8:29 - "And behold, they cried out saying, what have we to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God?" (devils that were cast out into pigs)
Mark 3:11 - "And unclean spirits, when they saw him fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God."
Mark 5:7 - "And cried with a loud voice and said; What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God I adjure thee by God that thou torment me not." (This was the demonic who it was said could not be bound but was in the tombs day and night crying and cutting himself with stones).
Luke 4:41 - "And devils also came out of many, crying out and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God, And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak, for they knew that he was Christ."
Luke 8:28 - "When he saw Jesus he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not." (verses 26 and 27 give the background of this demon possessed man). So now we see demons, unclean spirits and devils verifying that they know Jesus is "the Son of God."

This photo is from Southern Living. I chose it because I'm decorating the outside of my house this week. If only my house looked like this one!
My plan is to finish decorating the outside of our house this week, and the inside of the house next week, but honestly my brain is all over the place. I went shopping this weekend for supplies for the outside and I kept putting decorations for inside the house in my basket. Twice I pulled everything from my basket back onto the shelves and told myself to stop and focus on the outside and the list!
Time to go untangle the lights! Which brings me to the age old question, white lights or colored lights?

In general, you should install and update a good antivirus program, disconnect the pc from the network, restart in safe mode and run a full scan, but this kind of task should be done by your IT people, so I would recommend to let them know about the problem.
If this is not the answer you were looking for, please provide more details about your environment.
Removing the virus of your Tally software program always needs a latest and updated antivirus software installed in your computer system. However, before concluding that your computer is infected by a certain virus, try to uninstall and install the Tally software again because there might be another problem like corrupted or error files.
Most of the time, viruses are designed to hide and imitate a file or folder in any storage device. Your Tally file might have been already converted to a shortcut file or hidden mode files. To solve this problem, perform a full system scan to your computer's hard disk drive. Although it might take too long, the result would be beneficial for your important files.

What Does Valentine's Day Mean To You?
I remember in my younger days, Valentine's Day wasn't always all that happy.
Sometimes was, sometimes wasn't...
There was worry that it wouldn't live up to expectations.
If it did, guilt about all the extra cost and expense, I mean more than another day!
You know - when the cost of flowers is multiplied by 10, huge cards are everywhere, it 's all so commercial!
What About Valentine's Day For Your Kids?
I reckon that Valentine's Day should be about love. That's it!
Not just romantic love!
What about how you love your kids?
What about how they love you?
Maybe friends, siblings, extended family?
When is all that love celebrated?
So obviously Valentine's Strawberry Red Velvet Pancakes are the answer!!!
Here's the story, and how to make this yummy creation...
What I Did To Show My Kids I Love Them
The thing is, of course I love them every day!
Of course, they love me every day!
But I just want them to feel Valentine's Day is for them too.
It's a day to especially notice those they love, and appreciate them.
So I decided to make them a special Valentine's Dessert.
Kids should know it's not always what you buy, but what you do - shouldn't they?
Red Velvet Strawberry Heart Pancakes
Yes - it's a mouthful to say, never mind eat.
It turned out to be bigger than I had imagined - so....
It's not a dessert!
It's Valentine's Day Dinner in our house!
And of course the kids loved that - who wouldn't love dessert for dinner?
But of course being time challenged - it had to be easy to pull together at the last minute.
So here's what I did...
How I Made Valentines Strawberry Red Velvet Pancakes...
I got a tub of strawberry ice cream, which was very pale, so softened it, and deepened the pink color with a touch of red gel color. Then I put it in the freezer to thicken up again.
Also ahead of time, I used a box of red velvet cake mix to make a thick pancake batter, and made the pancakes.
And I sliced strawberries - have you noticed the natural heart shape before?
And here's the ingredients, and method...
Tub of strawberry ice cream
Gel food color if required
Strawberry strap candy
Heart shaped candy
Mint leaves
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
(This is just what I used - as you can see, it's easy to make this suit you - personalize!)
Ahead of time -
If required soften ice cream, and deepen pink color with gel color
Mix 2 eggs with the red velvet cake mix, add 1 1/2 cups milk, and stir to make thick pancake consistency
Cook pancakes on lower heat than usual, as they are thicker, and you want to retain the red color in the pan
Slice strawberries vertically
Pick mint leaves from the stalks
Make Ice Cream Heart -
Use a heart shaped cookie cutter the size you choose
Line the edges of the cookie cutter with the strawberry straps
Fill the inside with strawberry ice cream, and press right into edges
Place in freezer until serving time, when dessert will all be built together
At Serving Time -
Reheat pancakes in microwave
Place frozen ice cream heart on top
Fill the top of ice cream heart with sliced strawberries
Place the top strawberries so the natural heart shape is visible
Sprinkle the candy hearts around the pancakes
Place mint leaves on top of the strawberries
Shake chocolate dust, or cinnamon around plate
Serve with maple syrup if desired
Watch Your Kids Faces!!!
I saw delight when they first saw what dinner was.
Then recognition that it was for Valentine's Day.
Next they looked at me with such happy faces...
