Bloom Party!
January 12, 2011 by Barb Scala
Filed under Blog, What's New
Turn a regular day into one bursting with inspiration, ideas, goals, visions and dreams!
Last Sunday, a group of wonderful women gathered at my home for tea. The invitation read, "Let's plant your seeds for success and make a Bloom Plan for the New Year and beyond!" And that's just what we did.
I was ready for creative juices to flow! With markers, scissors, hole punchers, scrapbooking paper, glue sticks, crayons and more, we started to create our visions for 2011. In no time at all, posters were filled with exciting ideas and visions. Some were bursting with healthy lifestyle choices, business ideas and personal projects, while others had question marks about which path to follow and what direction to take.
All good stuff. The first step is to get your ideas in visual or written form and then you can work on shaping or molding them so they can grow. When what's up in your head is down on paper, you may realize that your idea is really fabulous or even find out that it won't work after all. Does it need to be more flexible, is it realistic, does it need to go back to the drawing board or be completely tossed?
It's about taking the initial step and courage to get your vision out into the world to find out if you can make it happen. Is it a pipe dream? Or can you start moving forward to see where you can go with it?
One more thing. While we were cutting, pasting, laughing and dreaming, worries began to surface. "What will everyone think?" " What if I'm not smart enough?" "How can I make this dream grow?" "Do I really have what it takes to make changes in my life."
Ahhhh yes. Our weeds. Those self-sabotagers and even excuses which suffocates our growth. So, I asked everyone to take a moment to tune into their internal dialogue and voluntarily post their negative self talk on a board. One by one, volunteers came up to list their inner fears. Soon the "weed" board was filled. "That's what we really want to work on. Not many people are void of ideas. It's our weeds that get in the way … and when we let them take over, our goals, visions and dreams are often put on hold, changed to someone else's vision or completely abandoned. "
So, how do you grow your Bloom Plan this year? Start by recording your plan on paper and then work on weeding fears, sabotagers and worries. Continually plant the five Seeds for Success into your daily life and always fertilize by getting the support and resources to help you keep going.
I wish you all a blooming 2011!!
I would love to meet you and your friends and get everyone blooming! Contact me if you would like to host a Bloom Party.

Podcast: Recorded Feb 11, 2011 (41 min edited)
Not feeling creative? In a rut? Not sure how to get energized? Well, get ready for the energy of a Cape Canaveral lift-off when Dale Allen joins me on Bloom Talk. We'll ask the question, "If not now, when?" and toss out ideas to get your creative juices flowing.
We'll also talk with Louise, a vivacious tap dancing senior who is growing her gusto. "I was a daughter, student, wife, mother and then I became a widow. Even though I was very content and very happy with life, now I lost some of those roles. I had to find more and that's when I found ME!"
From Bloomin' in the Kitchen with Dale to exploring our soul's purpose, we cover the bases and our dreams, passions and gifts. "Everyone has a gift and it starts with what makes you happy, what makes you feel alive. Start small ~ something you can access right now and that will lead you to the next thing and the next. You can't look outside, you have to look within."
More of Dale on Barb's Bloom with Barb test pilot. Don't miss Dale's song and dance routine (with a little help from Barb) about reaching for dreams and finally getting off of Someday Isle a/k/a/ Someday I'll.

Kentucky Retirement Planning
Kentucky retirement planning consists of a methodical approach. There is a lot of planning involved and you have to make sure it is done right because you have to have a plan that will allow you to have the money that you need for retirement. Imagine not having the money that you need to retire. Social security is not enough and one day it may not exist, so you want to make sure that you are able to retire with money coming from multiple income sources rather than from just one or two.
So there are some steps that you want to take in your Kentucky retirement planning that will help you do what you need to do in order to retire comfortably. And what is meant by "retiring comfortably" is you being able to do all of the things that you want to do, such as traveling, spending time with your grandchildren, and so much more.
Start Early
You want to engage in KY early retirement planning as soon as possible. But even if you're not 20 years old and starting a savings plan, that's okay. It is never too late to start. If you haven't already started saving, then you need to begin your personal planning now and start saving money toward your retirement. It can be discouraging because you think that you're too late, but no one in Kentucky is ever too late when it comes to income planning for their future.
There are some individuals in Kentucky that are older and have not engaged in their financial planning for the future yet because they may not have had a reason to. They may have been married to someone who made the money for the household, but then was suddenly placed in a position where they had to get a job. There are a number of reasons why someone may start late. However, in work terms, that is them starting early when they engage in Kentucky retirement planning.
When you start your Kentucky retirement planning early, there is something you want to do and that is called compounding. This is something that tends to be done in investing. You invest some money, it gains, and then you invest the gains. The same thing occurs with your savings account. You deposit some money, it earns, and then the balance continues to earn as it grows. Keep doing this year after year and you will see how you can make money grow again and again.
But what if you entered the workforce very late and you have absolutely nothing saved toward your Kentucky retirement planning goals? You shouldn't fret. The best thing for you to do is seek the advice of a professional so that you can put an effective plan in place. This plan will most likely consist of you working past the age of retirement or working a part time job in Kentucky once you do. There are many in KY doing this and they are enjoying doing it because they are able to create friendships and enjoy the person-to-person contact, so that makes this healthy for those who truly need the interaction while earning the money needed.
Setting Goals
In your Kentucky retirement planning, you need to set goals and they have to be realistic. You can work with a professional Kentucky retirement planner to help you in this. They will work with you to create a plan that will coincide with your current situation and will continue to evolve throughout the years. For instance, you decide that you want to buy a house several years after you create your plan. This means your plan is going to have to be changed to reflect this.
So what you need to do is set small goals in your Kentucky retirement planning. This means that you are going to put all of your personal goals in order and then you are going to put your retirement goals in order. In Kentucky retirement planning, you have to figure out how much you want to retire with. Look at your income now and then see how you are living. Usually, the income of individuals after retiring in Kentucky is 75% of what they made on their job. Of course, you will take raises into account and such, but pretend that the raises don't exist since you should be placing the increase in income into an account anyway.
Once you have set your small Kentucky retirement planning goals, it is time for you to start meeting them. As you meet those goals, you will find that they will become easier and easier for you and that your Kentucky planning is truly working. It is then that you will see the success that you have worked so hard to achieve.

ST. LOUIS -- Remember the feeling of optimism the Mets took out of spring training? Remember Sports Illustrated picking them to win the World Series in 2009? It's been less than a month, but all of that seems like a long time ago. A 6-8 start will do that.
Manager Jerry Manuel called the early part of the regular season an "evaluation period" in which the Mets would get a better idea of what kind of team they have. Well, they're starting to get an idea, and the Mets have some problems they need to address, or they're going to find themselves fading quickly in the National League East.
Here are the issues that are plaguing this team right now. Warning: This will not brighten up your morning.
1. Starting pitching: Manuel called this the Mets' "Achilles heel" after Wednesday's loss, and for good reason. When Johan Santana pitches, the Mets are one of the best teams in baseball. The rest of the time, they've been among the worst. Aside from games Santana has started, the Mets have gotten only one start that lasted longer than six innings, and it came from Livan Hernandez on April 11. Mike Pelfrey was ineffective and then injured, Oliver Perez is already looking like a $36 million headache and John Maine is still in search of the strike zone. If the Mets' bullpen wasn't among the best in the majors, they'd be losing by far greater margins.
2. Clutch hitting: New season, same old story. For all the Mets' offensive talent, they too often fail to drive in runs in key situations. Entering Wednesday, their 59 runs ranked just 11th out of 16 N.L. teams. And with runners in scoring position, the Mets are just 31 for 121 (.256). Manuel will tinker with the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. But if the Mets spent all of spring training working on situational hitting, continue to work on it in early batting practice and still struggle with it, how much of a difference can the batting order make?
3. Defense: Nine errors in 14 games only tells part of the story. There have been numerous other defensive gaffes -- such as Daniel Murphy falling down while chasing after a line drive in left field Tuesday and even missed opportunities on potential double-play balls -- that were not errors but were no less costly.
4. Intangibles: This has been a frustrating team for Mets fans to watch the past couple years, not only because of how it finished, but because their fans seem to care much more than players do. Maybe that's always the case in pro sports now, and maybe fans and the media in New York make too much out of every game in a 162-game season. But maybe not. When you see Carlos Beltran inexplicably decline to slide -- or barrel into the catcher -- at home plate Tuesday night, when you see players joking around with each other just a few minutes after Wednesday's loss -- their third in a row, and one in which they failed to put up much of a fight -- when you see these things, you have to wonder if there is something else missing with them. Something far less measurable than pitching and hitting, but something arguably more important. Call it heart, tenacity, toughness, grit or whatever else you want. But you know it when you see it, and you don't see it with these Mets. Not over the past couple years, and not over the past 14 games.

Pacific Symphony's newest recording of a three-part oratorio crafted by one of the most sought-after composers of his generation, Richard Danielpour, is set to be released by Naxos on March 25. Written for the Persian holiday of Nowruz in 2012, "Toward a Season of Peace" was premiered by Pacific Symphony, conducted by Music Director Carl St.Clair, in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Orange County, Calif. The work features Pacific Chorale (Artistic Director John Alexander) and Grammy-winning soprano Hila Plitmann. By weaving together sacred passages with texts by the great Sufi poet Rumi, Danielpour explores violence and war in the name of religion, using the season of spring as a metaphor for change and transformation. The work was commissioned for the Symphony's 2012 American Composers Festival, "Nowruz-Celebrating Spring," presented in collaboration with the Farhang Foundation.

Ag Policy Blog
USA Today Insert Features Ag
USA Today included an insert in Friday's edition, focused on a variety of agriculture issues.
The insert includes a variety of pieces about ag technology, women in farming and the challenges agriculture faces in feeding a growing world population.
At the front of the insert is a letter from American Farm Bureau Federation president Bob Stallman, who also is the chairman of the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers Alliance.
His letter talks about a movement to tell agriculture's story and to provide information and to show what happens on the farm.
"As leaders in the industry, we need to recognize that change is inevitable. We can't expect people who have valid concerns about their food to just 'trust us.' We need to understand their concerns and find ways to make our industry better, stronger and more open," Stallman said.

The Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard (k400) combines a compact keyboard with a touchpad mouse attached to its right side. It's a unique design that many would find really useful. Why choose a compact keyboard in the first place? View this post.
Design. This mouse combines a compact keyboard with a touchpad mouse to the right of the keyboard. And, if you have read any of our other posts, you'll know how much we love a well-designed compact keyboard. By default, extreme and extended reaches while mousing are eliminated with its integrated design, helping to reduce shoulder symptoms.
This design also makes it ideal for many in-home entertainment systems. Why? The keyboard with its built-in touch pad tremendously improves the user experience since you don't need to spend time looking for the keyboard or mouse. I know that I have been in this situation before and it can be quite frustrating.
Low Force. The buttons on the keyboard and mouse require little force to operate, as the keys and touchpad can be lightly touched with any finger to operate. As a general rule, exerting low force reduces the susceptibility of developing a repetitive force type of injury (such as tennis elbow).
Intuitive Design. With some compact keyboards, the key placement is just slightly off leading to more typing errors and overall frustration from the user. Not with this keyboard. From a usability perspective, since it is very similar to a traditional keyboard and thereby familiar, this means that the design will be quite intuitive, have little error associated with its use, and require no training to master.
Price Point. The price point for a keyboard with these features are well below its competitors that can make it quite attractive for those who are budget-minded.
Design. As we mentioned above, there are many aspects that we really liked with this keyboard's compact design. However, one of the design features inherent to this device that could be considered a 'con' is the location of the touch pad since it is fixed to the right. This would obviously be a limitation for left hand dominant users, or any user that wanted to switch between the right and left handed for mousing tasks as a preventative measure. I should also clarify this statement that when set-up appropriately, the mouse should be in a fairly neutral position with the right shoulder and technically there shouldn't be a significant amount of risk associated with it.
Button Size. As with most compact keyboard there is a trade-off between the size of the keyboard and button size. The smaller size buttons may not make it appropriate for those with larger hands. But, at the same time, those with smaller to medium sized hands would likely find that the button size fits their fingers/hands appropriately.
Touchpad Controls. Although there isn't a lot of force to operate, the left and right click buttons are somewhat awkward to press down. Admittedly this will not pose a significant ergonomic risk but it also doesn't help with the user experience. In today's crowded marketplace, having an excellent user experience would certainly set any product apart from its competition.
There are many advantages to the Logitech Wireless Touch Keyboard (k400) being intuitive design and elimination of extended reach distances. One 'con' to keep in mind is the fixed placement of touchpad to the right of the keyboard. Whether or not this is considered acceptable for you is entirely based on how you spend your day, your habits, and if you actually like using it. Trying any device is always strongly recommended before purchasing.

Leavenworth resident pleads guilty to murder
May 20, 2010
A Leavenworth man has pleaded guilty to murdering a four-year-old child.
Jason Lee Jones, 33, pleaded guilty Friday in Leavenworth County District Court to one count of second-degree murder and one count of abuse of a child for the death of Gabriel Rivera.
Rivera died from blunt force trauma Oct. 4, 2009, while his mother, Monica Rivera, was away from the home and left him in the care of Jones, who was her live-in fiancé at the time.
Jones' attorney, Carl Cornwell, and the state, represented by Deputy County Attorney John Bryant and Assistant County Attorney Cheryl Marquardt, jointly recommended a 30-year prison sentence to the court in accordance with a plea agreement.
"Jones was facing ... 20 years to life," County Attorney Todd Thompson said. "The state entered the plea agreement to ensure that Jones would serve 30 years. Another factor in arriving at the plea was the state's position that it is in the best interests of Jones' son not to have to testify against his father."
Jones' 11-year-old son was in the home the day Rivera sustained multiple injuries for which he was hospitalized and that ultimately caused his death.
Judge Gunnar Sundby ordered further investigation be done before he would rule on Jones' sentence. Sentencing for Jones is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. June 18.
The mother, 28, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of her son.

If you asked me who were the greatest comic troupes ever, I'd tell you the Marx Brothers, the Monty Python gang, and the Three Stooges. The Three Stooges has been funny to me my entire life. I remember watching them when I was a few years old, and laughing out loud at their hilarious slapstick humor. And still today I love them. In fact, my most anticipated thing for New Year's day isn't the ball dropping down or the resolutions. It's The Three Stooges marathon on AMC.
Some critics dislike their humor, and call it dumb, and would wondering why I would consider the Stooges to be in the same ranks as the Marx Brothers or Monty Python. Maybe it's because I saw them on an early age, but I've always loved their humor. Despite their constant fighting and eye-poking, the Stooges really did care for each other.
So my first reaction when I heard the Farrelly brothers were planning a Three Stooges movie, my thoughts were negative. The Farrelly brothers do a lot of slapstick, but to a really low-IQ. I thought they'd make it like a sequel to Dumb and Dumber.
But what really surprised me was that I actually did like The Three Stooges. Maybe it's because I went in the movie theater expecting to hate it, but I actually did laugh a considerable amount of time.
I'll have to give credit to Sean Hayes, Will Sasso, and Chris Diamantopoulos, who do make good Stooges. The casting before had called for actors like Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Hank Azaria, Johnny Knoxville, and Jim Carrey as the Stooges, but the Farrellys wisely picked three smaller actors instead. I just can't see Sean Penn as one of the Stooges.
The story starts with the Three Stooges, as babies, being thrown into an orphanage (founded in 1934, a reference to the original formation of the Stooges). The Mother Superior of the orphanage (Jane Lynch) accepts them in, but the boys get on the other nuns, particularly Sister Mary Mengele (Larry David, yes I'm being serious, and he's good too).
The Stooges grow up to 35 still living with the nuns, and discover that the orphanage will grow broke due to the economy. So Moe, Curly, and Larry decide to raise the $830,000 necessary to save the orphanage.
During their travels, the Stooges get involved in a murder plot against a millionaire, who was a former friend at the orphanage and actually has a close relationship with Moe, and even make it to reality television. During this, the Stooges push a man in front of a bus, nearly kill a dolphin, jump off a hospital, play with peeing babies, and do those famous Stooges gags (eye poking, sound effects, etc.).
The film is divided into three segments, a smart decision since the original Three Stooges films were shorts. And the film's not that long either, only 92 minutes.
Listen, I liked the film more than I probably should. The story isn't that original (the saving the orphanage was already done in The Blues Brothers), but the film does retain much of the humor of the original Stooges, not quite as great but good enough.
Their are some relentless cheesy parts the film could have done without, such as a very small sub-plot involving a few kids at the orphanage. Plus, there was some of the Farrellys' usual gags. But overall the movie was pretty funny. I would have preferred a biopic and would recommend watching the original Stooges instead, but hey, it's good and it's funny. Maybe I'm saying this as a Stooge fan, but I think you'll get at least a few nyuk nyuks out of it.

Read the text here:Revelation 1:4-8
Read the Gospel text here: St. John 18 & 19
Who is Lord?
In many ways our festival today – The Reign of Christ the King – is a little antiquated. There was an intense discussion on the ELCA clergy Facebook page about whether or not we ought to even continue to celebrate this festival, as for most of us the whole idea of Kingship is something from the deep historical past and not really a part of our experience. Quite frankly, even if you look around the world at the various Kings and Queens who continue to rule in some way, none of them holds the kind of absolute power which was held by (for example) the Roman Emperor during the time of Jesus. When Pilate says to Jesus, "Do you not know that I have the power to release you, and power to crucify you," this was true according to the political structure at the time. Pilate acted on behalf of the Emperor and his word was consequently absolute, and since Jesus was not a Roman citizen he had no right of appeal. The Emperor was absolute; the Emperor was Lord; the Emperor was a god! And those who questioned this "truth" ended up nailed to a cross!
But yet, Christians continued to proclaim the Lordship of Christ. "Jesus is Lord!" This was a popular confession in the early church and appears especially in the letters of Paul (see especially Philippians 2:11). What they were saying was this: "Jesus is Lord and the Emperor is not!" Jesus is Lord and I affirm all that Jesus stands for: justice that champions the needs of the neighbor, the needs of the stranger and the poor; self-giving love that reaches out to all who are in need; turning away from greed and acquiring things; living lives that reflect the grace and love of Christ. Theses are some of the basic things we affirm when we confess that Jesus is Lord. But at the same time in this confession we are also rejecting the priorities and values of the Empire: a life focused on money, power, success and self-fulfillment, especially at the expense of others – these are categorically rejected.
The community for whom John of Patmos' wrote the Apocalypse or Revelation knew first hand both the joys and suffering that came from such a confession. They had become followers of Christ, and they struggled to live grace-filled lives in a world that rejected their faith and values and persecuted them as a result. In this passage Jesus is given a number of names that reflect different dimensions of the Lordship of Christ. Let me list them:
1. "The faithful witness" (the word witness is, in Greek, the word martyr – Jesus reflects the radical love and grace of God even to the point of giving up his life);
2. "the firstborn from the dead" (In Jesus the powers of death are destroyed once and for all, death, sorrow, pain, suffering and persecution do not have the last word - in Christ we are a new creation called to live resurrection lives);
3. "the ruler of the Kings of the earth," (Christ is above all temporal powers; and the priorities of the empire – which lifts up power and wealth above all at the expense of human beings – these have been defeated and will be ultimately destroyed.)
4. "The Alpha and the Omega" (The first and last letters of the Greek alphabet – the metaphor here is a confession that Christ is at the very beginning and at the very end, and everywhere in between. There is nothing before, there is nothing after and in between everything is Christ!)
5. "Lord God" (Jesus is God incarnate. Jesus is Lord and God; the Emperor is neither!)
6. "who is, who was and who is to come" (see #4 above)
7. "The Almighty" (a word which in the Old Testament is used only for God. So in no uncertain terms this is a proclamation of the Incarnation!
And in the middle of this passage we, Jesus' followers and disciples are described as those who are loved and freed, who have been made a Kingdom (citizens of the Kingdom of God) and priests – that is those through whom God reaches out to this beloved but hurting and fallen world, and through whom God's love and grace flows.
Our texts today, especially the passage from Revelation, calls for us to join the chorus and confess that Jesus is Lord and accept the implications of this confession, and begin to work on living lives that reflect the priorities that this confession implies.
I began with Pilate – let me end with Pilate. It is very interesting to note that during the trial in John (18:28 through 19:16) Jesus opens up to Pilate in ways that seem as though Jesus is actually inviting Pilate to become a follower. And what does Pilate do? He waffles – he actually goes back and forth between Jesus and the Temple authorities a total of 5 times trying to decide what to do. He simply can't make up his mind. He catches a glimpse the "abundant life" which Jesus is offering, but the power and pull of the empire are too strong and ultimately he cannot resist this and gives in to it.
What about you? What about us as a community? Are we able to stand up and confess the Lordship of Christ, and accept all that this confession brings with it? Are we ready to stand up and say NO to the powers of wealth, greed, power, accumulating stuff and self-centeredness? Are you ready to accept the Reign of Christ in your lives?

Steve Kent has always been an eager beaver. In 1999, he was named one of Maclean's Magazine's Top 100 Canadians to Watch in the Next Century.
What surprised me about his elevation to the provincial cabinet yesterday was that it took so long.
Kent was first elected to the House of Assembly for the district of Mount Pearl in 2007, earning an astonishing 85% of the popular vote.
Since his election he has served as parliamentary secretary in two departments Forestry and Agrifoods Agency the Office of Public Engagement.
Since his election he has served as parliamentary secretary in two departments Forestry and Agrifoods Agency the Office of Public Engagement.
Prior to being elected to the provincial legislature he served as Mayor and deputy Mayor of St. John's twin city, Mount Pearl. It should be pointed out that he was first elected to the council at the tender age of 19!
Kent has been Chief Executive Officer at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Eastern Newfoundland, Executive Director at United Way, Newfoundland and Labrador and was Station Manager/ Manager of Corporate Development at OZFM.
His record of leadership and community service reflects his determination and his egalitarian nature.
While building a career and performing in the role of a senior elected official he completed a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration and earned a Master's Degree in Management.
Yesterday, after serving seven years in the House of Assembly, the 35-year old he was given two ministerial positions. He was appointed as Minister of Municipal Affairs and he replaced Tom Hedderson as Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs.
Over all, I thought yesterdays shuffle was a lost opportunity to put a fresh face on a party/government in decline. Too many non-performers remain at the expense of the talent languishing in the back benches.
Steve Kent's promotion was overdue and well deserved. I expect, if he does not become too hyper partisan and arrogant, like many of his cabinet colleagues, he will be Premier some day.

Almost opposite the building I am currently working in is another fine example of Art Deco architecture. It's modest size and location, next to a complex and busy road junction, perhaps causes it to be ignored among other buildings of the same period in the city, such as nearby Adelaide House mentioned in an earlier post. However, on closer inspection it reveals a wealth of interesting Art Deco ornamentation that possibly warrants an elevation in it's status and interest.
|51-54 Gracechurch Street, London.
Despite much Googling, inspection of the outside of the structure and even inquiring with the building's reception desk, I could find no information about it's history.
So, having reached a dead end, I decided to contact the planning department of the City of London, in the hope that they would not be too busy to answer my trivial questions and after a few days of waiting, they very helpfully provided the information I was after and suggested some additional references that could be helpful in the future.
|51-54 Gracechurch Street, West Elevation
From the information provided the City of London, the architect was one Leo Sylvester Sullivan (1878-1964), and the date of construction circa 1928-30. This architect is also responsible for other better known, listed buildings in the City and West-End (future posts to come) as well as many civic projects around the country. He also attended school with Sir Winston Churchill in the 1900s.
The building sits 8 storeys high and 9 bays wide and it likely to steel framed with the front clad in Portland stone. The nine bays are separated by ribbed piers with the outer four piers emboldened to provide vertical framing of the frontage. The metal window aprons were once ornamented but have been unsympathetically replaced, along with the windows at some point, which is likely the cause of it's lack of listed status.
|51-54 Gracechurch Street in 1974. Copyright City of London - Collage project
A carved pediment above the ground floor has a parallel zig-zag or chevron dancette with a chain-like pattern above. This chevron pattern is repeated around the entrances and also the north-side elevation of the building. At the top of the stone facade and between the fifth and sixth floors are two rows of carved heads. Each appears to be unique, but they are a little too high to observe with my phone's camera.
One interesting detail is the parallel chevron dancettes framing the door ways feature convex and concave half-round carvings.
The north side and rear of the building is accessible via Talbot Court. The side appears to be clad in terracotta with the lower windows and entrances framed again with chevron moldings and also beak-head stops.
|Beak-head stops
|Terracotta moldings
Finally, the rear of the building is stepped down to meet the roof heights of neighbouring properties.

That about wraps things up for this building. I may write more about Leo Sylvester Sullivan's other buildings in my immediate area as I photograph and research them.

The remainder of the game is very straightforward, even the fight against Doctor Doom. If you have Ghost-Rider with maxed-out Ravaging Flame plus Starbolt's Flame (+35% Fire Damage), he will make the final encounter laughably easy on Normal. Just keep him healed with, say, Doctor Strange's Eye of Agamotto.
- You can go to the centre of the room and activate the Iron Man Health Console. Stepping onto the glowing platform should heal your character.
- Storm's Whirlwind or Thor's North Winds will make this encounter and other swarmed-by-Doom's-robots encounters very easy.

Virtek® Simplifies Complex Production Processes for Aerospace Manufacturing
Visit Virtek at JEC World in Paris March 6-8 – Hall 5, Stand N78
jueves, marzo 1, 2018•Categorías: Proyección Láser, Sistema de Posicionamiento EspacialWATERLOO, Ontario, Canada
Virtek demonstrates the Vision Positioning System (VPS) at booth N78 during JEC World. With a smaller, faster scanning system, improved portability, and FlashAlign™ — a new feature eliminating manual target alignment — Iris 3D with VPS reaffirms Virtek's position as the global leader in laser technology.
Virtek's Vision Positioning System combines laser projection and an integrated patented vision technology that is proven to dramatically improve process efficiency and significantly save on costs.
VPS improves composite manufacturing assembly and lay up processes, minimizes highly-skilled labor while maintaining safety and quality for various sized companies across the composite and aerospace marketplaces.
"In 2017, we demonstrated a new industry standard in laser projection with the introduction of VPS along with a multitude of software and hardware developments," said Sean Francoz, senior product manager at Virtek. "These developments have continuously broken the laser barrier for flexible solutions offered to improve productivity in complex manufacturing processes."
"We are very familiar with laser technology and its benefits and began the journey with Virtek with their LaserEdge® solution for several projects over a decade ago. We felt it was a natural progression to move to the new Iris™ platform with the new state of the art vision- based laser technology when we had a need for a new project," said Türker Dölek, composite production chief, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) Inc. "We are seeing significant benefits with the flash align feature saving time during alignment as well as the systems are demonstrating an increase in throughput resulting in cost savings."
"TAI was the first customer in Europe to install and put into production the VPS as part of an early adopter program. The smooth transition was a team effort between TAI a global supplier and customer and the Virtek strategic account, service and applications teams," continued Francoz.
Beyond the VPS system, Virtek introduced a new Laser Projector (LPS-10), an upgrade to the incredibly successful LPS-7. This new laser projection system offers both short- and long-range capabilities, including advancements in software, and demonstrates Virtek's commitment to innovation and tailoring products to the needs of every customer.
"We have been known for trust, reliability, and innovation for the last 31 years and will continue this tradition with new products well into the future," said Todd Rhodes, vice president and general manager, Virtek. "We are constantly reimagining how technology can be used to increase safety and efficiency all while simplifying complex manufacturing processes for our customers."

For, in proportion as the power of the Irish parliament increased, the value of suffrages increased, and the price of boroughs. Had the Volunteers adopted the plan of buying off the boroughs, as Pitt did afterwards, the reform might, perhaps, have been carried, as the extinction of parliament was, at the expence of the poor Irish nation.
Though the efforts of the Volunteer army proved abortive in that particular, they deserve a place in history, like other memorable enterprizes, that failed likewise; because history is the repository of human calamities, as well as success and prosperity. The Volunteer army of the north led the van in the public service. Without catholic emancipation, and parliamentary reform, all, that had been hitherto accomplished, rested on a tottering foundation, liable to be blown down by the first storm.
As Flood's arguments, on the question of retrenchment, in 1783, lay open some of the arts, by which the British ministry purloined away from the Irish, the benefit of late concessions, it may not prove unacceptable to the reader.
"Notwithstanding the late hour, and the suffocation with which we are at present threatened in this house, and which will, I trust, in future be prevented by some contrivance to admit the fresh air without danger of cold, I cannot avoid offering to your consideration, a plan which will introduce a system of (economy into the state, and thereby enable this country to avoid that abyss of poverty and wretchedness with which, through the mismanagement of the minister, and Vol. iv. 2 c
corruption of his satellites, we are now threatened. A military reduction I now consider as affording the only solid ground for oeconomy. To reduce the civil list, would be frivolous, pitiful, undeserving the name of oeconomy, and therefore ought to bring contempt on such as would venture to rest solely there—not that I think the civil list ought to escape the pruning hand of this house, for every little will help; but so materially do our present expenditures exceed our income, that the whole civil list being struck off, would by no means equal them: to begin with it therefore is ridiculous; that this is the proper time for entering on this discussion no man can deny; if we wait till the committee of supply sit, we shall be told it is too late; so rapid and constant too has our extravagance been, that no time should be lost in interposing on behalf of our country. In the year 1775 you were not in debt, in the beginning of the late war you were not in debt; at the conclusion of the war you owed but jf?500,000, yet in the time of peace you quadruple that debt, notwithstanding the people and manufactures were burdened with new and excessive taxation. Your revenue has encreased, and your debts have kept pace with it; since the augmentation was voted, this has been regularly the course of things; let the virtue then of 1783 correct the abuses of 1762, the causes of which originated in the breach of the minister of the day—a man as subtle as he was crafty—a man, who wanting natural, substituted pecuniary influence—who, unconnected in this I
country, had great connexions to oppose; thus situated, he at first carried his ideas so far, that he applied for an augmentation of 20,000 men, but this was so truly laughable, that it was scouted at; this unreasonable plan was reduced to 15,000 men; but, foreseeing that it would not be easy to carry even this point at one stroke, he artfully introduced a resolution, that 12,000 men were necessary for the defence of this country, knowing that we dare not meddle with the 3,500 which we had always paid for England; thus did we become dupes to his ambition, and were saddled with an army of officers, not privates—an army of expence, not of use—an army of the minister, not of the people.
"I know arguments will be found, to prove that all this was expedient; and, that the great number of officers and regiments are necessary; but I will only ask, would the King of Prussia (and though I highly honour and respect the Rt. Hon. Gentleman who commands our army, it is no disgrace to set him the example of the King of Prussia) act so? No—I say, the King of Prussia, who is on all hands allowed to understand military matters as well as any individual now alive, differs widely from us in the regulation of his army: in it, the proportion of privates to officers is not as ours is, nearly double to what it is in our army; no—we know, that he has not one-fourth our number of officers, in proportion to his troops. Some regulation to this effect might also afford ground for considerable retrenchment, and for one such regulation,
204; AN IMPARTIAL HISTORYit should meet my support, merely in compliment to the opinion of that great man; and his opinion we may easily collect from his practice. Now if the present distressed state of our finances be traced to this source; if a faulty military establishment, encreased by a more faulty augmentation, be the cause of our enormous debt, the time of peace is surely the proper time to apply a remedy; but that this business may not depend merely upon what I say, I have it in my power to apply to the records of the house for corroborating testimony. In the year 1768, there was a committee (of the greatest consequence, if we consider the men who composed it) to take this question into consideration; I shall call for their report, in which you will see the greatest abuses exposed; you will see that our expences outran our revenues £150,000 per annum before the augmentation, and that since that time we have increased in extravagance j£100,000 more per annum, making each session j£500,000 increase of our debt; as, therefore, it is in this department our great expence lies, it is by retrenching this we can hope effectually to serve the nation, to prevent her from bankruptcy, and save her from ruin; and is there any man who will say this ought not to be done, or that it is not a consummation devoutly to be wished f
"Jn the civil list we may indeed make some trifling retrenchments, but nothing that can essentially relieve the nation. Is there any man who will say, that 12,000 men may not be maintained as heretofore? No, nor will any man say that what we could save by economy and retrenchment, should be thrown away upon a military establishment, when it might be applied to other measures infinitely more beneficial to the nation." This attempt to retrench the ex peaces of government was rejected. Grattan spoke and voted with government on that occasion. A motion for protecting Irish manufacturers, by duties on goods imported into England, was in like manner lost; and the public again took up their cause, by entering into a non-importation agreement.
A second meeting was held at Dungannon, by 500 delegates from 248 corps of Volunteers, September 8, 1783, to consider the important question of parliamentary reform; rightly judging, that it would avail little, to have freed parliament from the legislative supremacy of Britain, unless they could deliver it from the dominion of corruption. Colonel James Stewart having taken the chair, the following resolutions were entered into.
1. That freedom is the indefeasible right of Irishmen and of Britons, derived from the Author of their being, and of which no power on earth, much less a delegated power, hath a right to deprive them.
2. That they only are free, who are governed by no laws but those to which they assent, either by themselves in person, or by their representatives freely chosen, subject to the controul, and frequently returning into the common mass of constituents.

"Batman and Bill" – A documentary about how the credit for creating Batman was stolen by co-creator Bob Kane who's credited on all the Batman comics. Look at the covers and you'll see "by Bob Kane". Bill Finger was a ghost writer but he was there from the beginning and came up with the mask, the cape, the dark costume.. oh.. and the rest of the characters, the Bat cave, and on and on and on…
This is what Bob Kane's bat man looked like when he showed Finger what he had in mind:
This is the book that it's based on this book:
Wow. The more I watch this, the more I'm just cringing. What a slimey, selfish dude.

Green Technology for Swimming Pools:
We use the Go Chemless Bio Sanitizer to sanitize and keep your swimming pool healthy. The Go Chemless system uses natural ions to combat Algae, Bacteria, Viruses, Mold and Fungus. Unlike traditional chlorine and saltwater based pools which are linked to many different cancers, asthma, low testosterone, miscarriages, the Go Chemless system offers a safe and effective alternative to chlorine and saltwater systems. It has been said by many "it's like swimming in bottle water."
The Go Chemless micro-processor computer works by delivering a precise amount of elemental ions into your pool water to prevent algae, bacteria, viruses, mold and fungus from taking over your swimming pool. Unlike chlorine, which breaks down very quickly, the Go Chemless ions are available for bio sanitization over and over again.
Go Chemless has developed a method to use precious base metals to generate CU+2 and AG+ ions that are responsible for the bio sanitizing process.
What is an ion?
Ions are charged particles that exist naturally in our environment. In fact many ions are absolutely necessary to support life including human life! The best example is table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) which is made from one ion of sodium (NA+) and one ion of chloride (Cl). Without ions like sodium (NA+), Potassium (K+) and Calcium (Ca+2) your heart would not be able to beat because it's the ionic action between these three main electrolytes that make your heart contract and relax millions of times in your life.
How does my Go Chemless unit generate copper (II) and silver (I) ions?
Your Go Chemless unit generates Copper (II) ions and Silver (I) ions through a process known as electrolysis. During electrolysis a small electrical current is passed between copper and silver rods. This forces some of the atoms to surrender two electrons (Cu++) or one electron (Ag+) thus forming water soluble copper (II) and Silver(I) ions, respectively. These newly generated ions are carried into your pool through the pump system and immediately put to work keeping your pool or hot tube free of bacteria, fungus, algae and viruses. Because they are single atoms, they are not affected by filtration systems including diatomaceous Earth filters. They pass right through and into your pool many times over to do their job of biosanitizing.
What is "bio sanitizing"?
The use of metals in water disinfection techniques is not new. Early Greeks used copper and silver goblets and vessels for drinking and storage purposes. The low solubility of these metals served as a natural, controlled release mechanism which added trace amounts of these ions to the water. Such amounts were high enough to purify the liquid without causing objectionable taste. Today, Silver is commonly used in the medical field as a disinfectant and antiseptic.

As I got closer to home, I considered what I might have.
Do we have bread? Yep, I think we do. I could have grilled cheese.
Or, even quicker, I could just have cheese and crackers.
Hmm..maybe I should eat veggies and hummus. That would be healthier.
I could eat oatmeal. No, I probably shouldn't have carbs for dinner.
Ok...I'll just do grilled cheese. I know, it's carbs, but it will be quick and easy.
Imagine my surprise when I opened the door to the most amazing aroma.
Keith called out to me, "It's your lucky day. Annie made pizza."
Pizza? Yum!! Forget what I said about carbs.
"It's zucchini pizza."
I peeked around into the kitchen and saw hot, cheesy pizza on the stove. The crust, made out of zucchini, boasted no carbs at all.
|From Food and the City
I grabbed a plate, scooped up 2 pieces of pizza and sat down to enjoy every single bite.
It was definitely my lucky day...
- Dinner was made when I got home.
- They saved me leftovers.
- It was absolutely delicious.
- I didn't have to clean up the kitchen.
- AND, we went out for ice cream afterwards. (I decided the carbs didn't matter after all).
If you want to try this amazingly scrumptious pizza, check out the recipe here.

A NATIONAL campaign to raise awareness of a system to help people alert the police when they are in imminent danger but unable to speak has been launched.
The Silent Solution system enables a 999 mobile caller who is too scared to make a noise, or speak, to press 55 when prompted – to inform police they are in a genuine emergency.
The system is well-established in the UK but is only effective if the public know and understand how it works and it could, in extreme situations, potentially save a life.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is leading the 'Make Yourself Heard' campaign during National Stalking Awareness Week (8th – 12th April), with support from the family of murder victim Kerry Power, Women's Aid and Welsh Women's Aid, and the National Police Chiefs' Council.
Prior to her murder, Kerry believed that if she made a silent 999 call she would not need to speak or make a noise for police to send assistance.
Sadly her call was terminated and was not put through to the police control room because she did not know to use the Silent Solution system.
It is not true that police will automatically attend if you make a silent 999 call.
What you should do if you're too scared to speak
Callers need to listen and respond to questions and instructions, including by coughing or tapping the handset if possible, or if using a mobile phone, once prompted by the automated Silent Solution system, pressing 55.
The system filters out thousands of accidental or hoax silent 999 calls made daily.
Around 50 emergency calls from mobiles a day are transferred by a BT operator to police forces in the UK as a result of someone having pressed 55 when prompted, enabling the police to carry out urgent enquiries to respond.
Catrin Evans, IOPC regional director, said: "It is always best to actually speak to a police call handler if you can, even if by whispering, but if you are putting yourself or someone else in danger by making a sound, there is something you can do.
"Make yourself heard by coughing, tapping the handset or once prompted by the automated system, by pressing 55.
"We found from our investigation into police contact with Kerry that there is a lack of public awareness of the Silent Solution system and are keen to share this important information as widely as possible. It could potentially save a life."
Why police are making more people aware of the Silent Solution system
Kerry Power made her silent 999 call in the early hours of 14 December, 2013 when her ex-partner and stalker broke into her home.
She did not respond to the BT operator's instructions and her call was transferred to the Silent Solution system.
As 55 was not pressed, the call was terminated and Devon and Cornwall Police were not notified of Kerry's call.
Her ex-partner David Wilder called police later that morning to report he had fatally strangled her.
Kerry's family said: "Although she was not able to speak for the fear of alerting the intruder to her actions, she followed the advice given by a police officer during an earlier visit; that she could call and not speak, as the police held her details they would be alerted and attend.
"Unbeknown to Kerry, this was fiction and nobody came...a short while after the call, she was strangled."
An IOPC investigation could not conclusively identify the wording the police officer used when advising Kerry about making an emergency call however it was clear she did not know she would need to press 55 when prompted by the Silent Solution system.
