Card of the Day Reviews
game store owner (Shuffle and Cut Games,CA)
This card is really
fun in Elf decks. It's especially good in
Elves because they decks tend to be low mana
costs, so the decks usually run very light land.
So you have a very good chance of drawing an Elf
when using it. If you don't, you probably milled
away a land you didn't need anyhow. While I
don't see Elves being viable in competitive MTG at
the moment, they are still a really fun casual
deck. In limited, Bloodline Shaman isn't
really usable as you wouldn't likely have a tribal
deck of any consequence.

Bloodline Shaman
Rofellos... Eldamari...
Elvish Champion... you are not the glue that holds
the elves together. No, that title belongs to one
tiny little elf called the Bloodline Shaman. It is
she who keeps your forces coming in the face of
Earthquakes, Pyroclasms, Starstorms, Pestilence,
and lo, even the Wrath of God! It is she who
deserves the coveted honor of an Elf among Elves!
But she's not so
amazing in limited...

A perfect card for an elf deck.
Bloodline Shaman is card advantage is green , a
color that normally has none. I played this card
in mono green elves and it can really get the deck
moving fast. One of the few problems is if you
have to use it early when you are behind on mana
you can sometimes put the lands right in the
grave. In draft I don't value this card very high
as it loses some of its effectiveness.

Elves loved him,
that's for sure. In constructed, this guy reads,
"Tap to draw an Elf or put a land into your
graveyard." Nothing else really plays him, and I
really don't think much of anything else can, with
the weak exception of a Beasts deck, and this guy
neither accelerates your mana nor bludgeons your
opponent into the ground, thereby making him less
than stellar.
In limited, your
deck is going to need to be absolutely loaded with
a tribe in order for him to be worthwhile. I think
he was better in ONS/ONS/LEG draft than when
Scourge came into the mix, simply because green
was so much stronger and you could dig for
Timberwatch and Wellwishers. If you had the
super-Beast deck, you were probably just winning
anyway, but this guy could grease the wheels for
Constructed: 2.0
Limited: 2.0
Welcome to a week full of
random (but not necessarily bad) cards. We start
off the week with a card that has been popping up
in elf decks. By turn 3, this card can be tapping
away and getting the player an extra creature.
This card is probably less useful after the first
game as you might accidentally put that sideboard
win condition into your graveyard. But otherwise,
you can read this as "tap: draw a card".
In Casual, it could be a
nice addition to an elf deck but otherwise, you
don't need it. If you're playing wizards, milling
away counterspells isn't a good idea.
In Limited, it isn't as
useful here as it is in Constructed because it's
much harder to focus a limited deck on all
creatures. Not to say it isn't good, but it
requires more of a focus.
(Also, how many green
wizards are?)

on the viability of elf decks)

Bloodline Shaman
Everyone first encountered
this card in Onslaught limited formats,
where the card was a qualified success. Some
people loved it, especially in limited decks
with a lot of Beasts or Elves. In Onslaught
block constructed, the Shaman was one of the
key cards to the all-Elf mono green deck
that had some success early in that format.
In a deck focused to make this card's
ability useful, Bloodline Shaman provides
FAST card advantage for a color that doesn't
see a lot of that kind of thing.

So decrees Tetsuo, so let's make a thread all about dat fusion
I decree "no more Dream Theater threads and more T-Square and Casiopea threads."
So we all love Casiopea
and we all love T-Square
So this thread is all about gushing over their madd skillz, and recommending even more great bands [Dimension comes to mind]I confess, I've grown fond of these bands as well quite recently, and I blame Dave Harris entirely for getting me into even more genres god damn my hard drive is already full of stuff hnnngff. But I really like it and the talent these guys possess is just so fucking insane, and it's so smooth!
Also, let's not forget, when Casiopea and T-Square come together:

"I know my rights! And if you come near my sister, I'm gonna call 911," my tiny voice squeaked down our winding Colonial staircase to my parents below, who burst into laughter at the sound of their five year old taking charge.
Of course, they hadn't harmed my sister at all -- they'd merely grounded her to her room for being fresh. But I had learned about abuse in kindergarten that day, and armed with knowledge, I was ready to protect my sister (who, by the way, was several years older).
I was a fiercely independent child -- a trait I carried into my teen and adult years. Help with my homework? Not necessary. Assistance with the latest try out or extra-curricular activity? Under control. A helping hand with college applications, law school applications or job searches? I got it.
I credit my parents for my early independence. I'm not sure how they did it, but they struck a perfect balance of intervening in my life and giving me freedom to grow and make my own decisions. They never overwhelmed me or nagged me with lectures and curfews -- they trusted. This tactic may not have worked with all children, but it was just right for me.
Of course, the older I got, the more independent I became, probably to the dismay of my parents who couldn't turn back on their established parenting style. But like they had always done, my parents respected my desire to do things on my own to the point where it was assumed that I would take care of everything thrown at me -- I always had.
What I don't think my parents realized -- and probably still don't -- is that I absolutely needed them. I still need them now as a grown, married woman. I'm not talking about bumming gas money from them or asking them to house sit for me; it's an emotional need. It's the feeling of calm the minute I hear one of their voices on the other end of the line. It's the sense of comfort just from being in a room with them. It's the knowledge that they literally have known me longer than anyone else, so their advice means that much more. And of course, it's love.
A few weeks ago, while I was dealing with something tough, I connected with my mom on the telephone. The minute I heard her voice, I lost it. My mom was caught off guard at first -- I don't lose it, remember? I take care of things. But she quickly shifted into mom-mode, mostly listening and occasionally offering her opinion. It was just what I needed: "crying" on my mom's shoulder and being able to release the stress helped me to move on. I couldn't have used just anyone's shoulder for that.
I needed my mommy.
I don't think I'm alone in my grown-up need for my parents. I see it in my friends; I even see it in my own parents. Just because we're not in pigtails and OshKosh B'gosh anymore doesn't mean that we don't need someone to clean a scraped knee or scare away the ghosts under the bed. Don't confuse independence for aloofness, parents -- we may look like we've got it all under control, but we still need you even as adults.
What is your favorite memory of you and your children? How do you stay connected with your children now that they are grown up?

I am so hit or miss on this blog. I would love to be more faithful about writing on it, but the truth of the matter is that my life is in a whirlwind state right now. School consumes most of the time and energy. Even if I am not working on school, my brain is thinking about what needs to be accomplished for this weeks assignments. Maybe things will slow do and I will do more writing soon. Who am I kidding anyway; it's not like I have many who follow this. I would guess I could count those who read it on both my hands. Anyway, this morning, on my Sunday morning run, I ended up with something I thought deserved the attention to type and share. What is it about the Sunday morning run? It is usually so so so good and God really meets me there. I mean He meets me every morning, but on Sunday morning, He really meets me.
I have been being tormented by these nagging fears about my children. I went through the stupid, dangerous decision stage with the oldest one. She seems to have outgrown it and is making pretty tremendous strides toward responsible adulthood. I had to pray my way through that stage. Now it's time for child number two to make the stupid decisions. I know that I really have no control and have to do the best I can and trust the God loves him more than I do. This time, I am plagued with doubt. I have the constant almost panic in my chest, "what if I am not doing something I need to do; what if he does something that leads to his death, or to something that will affect his record and won't go away; what if he….." This goes on and on. I pray for him and I know he is in God's hands, but this panic seems to start small at my toes, then it grows and swells and if I don't keep a handle on it, it can literally wash over me like a wave. It's like the accuser sits on my shoulder and says, "you have messed up, you aren't doing the right thing, there is something more you should be doing, you are depending too much that grace takes care of this." I know that anxiety and control are things that I struggle with, so I don't let it go unchecked. I start praying immediately. It just seems the last couple days have been relentless. The enemy has been whispering accusation, doubt and fear into me.
This morning it started as I hit the pavement and I started chatting with the Lord about it as I ran. Then the Spirit of God rose up in me and started answering all those accusation with truth.
"How can you depend too much on grace?" Really, seriously, what a ridiculous accusation to throw at me. Grace is all I have; grace is everything. I am not saying I throw up my hands and don't do anything else with my son, but grace is EVERYTHING. Grace to endure, grace to rest, grace for wisdom, grace for mistakes, grace for my son, grace to trust, believe and pray. Grace is everything.
It was then I realized that I was going into battle. This has been a spiritual attack and the enemy is using his age-old strategy. In fact, the only strategy he has; the one he used in the garden. He comes and plants seeds of doubt in God's goodness, His ability; he tries to separate us from God and get us to try to handle things independent of God, because he knows that the only way to get to us is to pry us away from dependence on God. If he can get us to step outside of the cleft of the rock where we are hidden in Christ then he has a chance to cause trouble.
Of course, I need God's grace when it comes to raising my kids. I mean, really everyone does, but we really need it in deep measures. My husband and I are keenly aware of how desperately we need His grace. We don't have great role models; we don't know what we are doing. Most of the time we are like, "what now?" But by God's grace, He knows that we are incapable and that we are flawed. He didn't give us children so we could prove what great parents we are. He gave us children to drive us to our knees knowing we are flawed, we have no idea what we are doing and we desperately need Him. If it is up to us to raise God-fearing, productive members of society, things are truly and completely hopeless.
At this point, I started to re-realize why we put God's word in our hearts. We put it there so that when the enemy comes at us with lies, we can remember the truth. It is the sword of the Spirit. It is the weapon we use to fight; it is an anchor to our soul. It tells us who God is, who we are and what the truth is. If you don't have the truth planted in your heart you have to go look up the truth to fight with; it takes longer and the enemy has more time to whip you and torment you. The time to plant the truth in your heart is when times are good and easy, when you don't need it to fight. If you intentionally plant the truth in your heart, it is automatic. The Holy Spirit can begin to remind you of the truth you know. He quickens your mind with the Word of truth. It is the roots that tie you to the Rock when the storms come at you.
He reminded me that my son's days were written in God's book before ever one of them was lived. He reminded me that my choices were fear or faith. Being anxious and fearful does not change my son's behavior or make him any safer than walking in the faith that says I can trust God with my son b/c He loves him more than I do. He reminded me that He knew how this story ends and that He had, in fact, written that ending. He reminded me that I can't see the details and that my "bubble" ideas about the life I want him to have is not an idea that has all the facts; God's plan is good and brings Him glory. He reminded me that if my son is one of God's chosen that he is already hidden in the cleft of the Rock with Jesus. No one can snatch God's children from His hand. No matter what things may look like, God always has the last say. God has always been faithful. I have watched Him take care of me, provide for me, protect me, guide me and fight for me for the last 20 years and before that He was working, weaving, protecting, shifting, and preparing the way for me to be adopted into His family. He has protected me from so many things I thought I wanted and from things that should have killed, maimed, or seriously changed my life; then there are the things that I don't even realize that He has protected me from.
Anyway, by the time I was done running, He had reminded me of all the truth that I knew and shut the mouth of the enemy. I had peace and the Lord, who is my warrior, had fought and won the battle against the accuser. My mind was prepared to win the battle because the truth was inside me; the Lord just had to quicken it to my mind.

Jerusalem (Agenzia Fides) - The cemetery adjacent to the Salesian monastery in Beit Gemal, in the Israeli town of Beit Shemesh, west of Jerusalem, was desecrated and the wooden and concrete crosses placed on many tombs were destroyed. The incident dates back to mid-December, but has only emerged in recent days. Local police have opened an investigation against unknown persons, but nobody has filed complaints against individuals or specific groups for the act of vandalism.
In the night between March 31 and April 1 of 2014, always in the area of Beit Shemesh, unknown vandals had written blasphemous sentences on the walls of two houses belonging to the Latin Catholic monastery of Deir Rafat (see Fides 01/04/2014). The nuns of the monastery, belonging to the Monastic Family of Bethlehem, of the Virgin Mary and Saint Bruno had on that occasion reported to Agenzia Fides that among the writings in Hebrew, some expressed "blasphemous sentences against Jesus and the Virgin Mary". Other writtings called for "revenge" and accused Germany and the United States of "Nazism". Even some cars parked in the area had been vandalized.
Vandalism suffered by the monastery of Deir Rafat was part of the series of acts of intimidation committed against the Christian monasteries as of February 2012. Since then, extremist groups close to the settler movement have led attacks against places of worship - churches and mosques - frequented by the Arab population. (GV) (Agenzia Fides 09/01/2016)

Ask The Doc: Patient Empowerment is YOUR Choice
Speak Up!
Dr. Ingrid A. Allard is striving to transform the patient/doctor experience -- one student at a time. Allard, the associate dean of community outreach & medical education at Albany Medical College, believes physicians should have a relationship with their patients. "The attitude has definitely gone from paternalistic to partnership," she says. And, as in any relationship, half the responsibility is yours.
Allard recalls a public service announcement featuring a woman who was definitive about what she wanted to eat at a restaurant. "But then you cut to her sitting across from her doctor, and when he asked her if she had any questions, she said she didn't," Allard says. "I think people can still be intimidated by the level of education (physicians) have to have. They don't want to appear stupid."
But you should never feel as though you're the only one: "Even I have trouble speaking up sometimes!" says Allard, who will be among the panelists at the HealthyLife symposium presented by Albany Medical Center on Oct. 2.
Speaking up can get especially difficult as the topic becomes more personal. A lot of different things can affect the big picture, Allard says, whether it's divorce, depression or -- worst of all -- signs you could be significantly ill. "That's probably the biggest part of why people aren't always (proactive)," Allard says. "They just don't want to hear bad news."
Since patient care is a delicate subject, Allard encourages people to search for the right physician the same way they would any other specialist. "Don't just go on someone else's recommendation," she says. "It's about your needs." Especially if those needs become serious.
Here are Dr. Ingrid A. Allard's top tips for your next visit:
Know Your Doctor. The New York State health department lists every licensed physician in the state. Visit nydoctorprofile.com to research their location, specialty, education, and any reports of malpractice over the last 10 years.
Write Down Symptoms. Allard recommends writing down symptoms you're experiencing in advance, including anything unusual.
Research Right! Wondering whether you've got Lyme disease? Avoid blogs or forums. "Those are just one person's opinion, and everyone responds differently to medication," as well as medical conditions, Allard says. Get reliable information from Medline Plus, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, WebMD or its sister company, MedicineNet. While background research is valuable, remember it's the doctor's job to make an authoritative diagnosis.
Don't Forget Your Medication. "Sometimes you forget the exact name of a medication," Allard says. The solution? "Bring your medications with you. That will help the doctor, too, so they know the exact dosage." Don't forget to write down the over-the-counter medications you may take regularly, and bring any if necessary.
Keep Your Eye on Your Doctor. Stick with a physician who takes the time to sit down with you, not one that stands by the door, Allard says. "I also tell my (physician) students to keep questions open-ended, asking 'What is it I can do for you today?'" A sensitive doc will pick up on your body language. "For instance, if you say you're not experiencing a symptom but are shaking your head 'yes,' that's a sign a good doctor will pick up on," Allard says. All the more reason to be open and honest, and the best way to do that is developing a rapport with a doctor you're comfortable with.
Questions to Ask the Doctor
-If I'm getting a blood (or other) test back, what information should I look for? While the doctor will go over what you'll be tested for and the results, you'll be more empowered if you know what the healthy range is for vitamin D, for instance, in advance.
-What are the precise directions to taking this medication? Make sure you have a clear understanding of what you're taking by actively listening to your doctor's directions. Jot down notes to refer to later if the doctor's writing appears unclear.
-What happens if I miss a dose? Will it affect you significantly? Does any action need to be taken?
-What are some common side effects? Ask about side effects well before your first dose. Plan accordingly; avoid driving or direct sunlight, for example, if you know you might be sensitive to it.
-What's Next? Don't forget to keep asking questions, keeping the lines of communication open, especially if tricky "what if" scenarios occur. The key to keeping informed is keeping knowledgeable.

Get A Free Spins Bonus To Try The New Irish Eyes 2 Slot Game
If you enjoyed the original offering from NYX Interactive, then you're sure to love the newest hit: the Irish Eyes 2 slot game. This one boasts the same excellent theme, but it has updated high-definition graphics, an all-new button layout, and more features than ever before. Much like the original, the setting is the Emerald Isle but there are animations making the background images appear to blow in the wind. On the five reels that come with 25 paylines, you'll still see the Lady, the Pots of Gold, and the Leprechaun.
The top jackpot here is $10,000 and in order to win it, you'll be able to choose from several different bet amounts which start at a penny and climb to $50. Nothing here has changed, either, so much like the original, this title is geared toward those who don't want to have to spend a lot in order to win a substantial prize. There are Autoplay settings once again, but there are more parameters that you can set to customize your experience.
The wild in this sequel is the Lady, and she can help to create more wins by substituting for any other icon barring the scatters. There aren't any bonus games or multipliers here, and while this may be a bit disappointing, they appear often enough to keep gameplay interesting. The scatter, then, is the Pot of Gold, and when three or more appear anywhere on the screen, individuals will receive between 10 and 20 free spins depending on the number of Pots present. Each win that occurs while this feature is active is tripled, too!
Though it is quite simple in nature much like its predecessor, the ability to win big with such a simple interface is a boon to many people. If you'd like to give it a shot for yourself without having to make an investment, then head on over to EU Casino where you'll get some Irish Eyes 2 free spins in the demo version with no deposit necessary. Then, if you decide to create a real money account to enjoy this or any other title offered by EU, you'll get a $10 no deposit bonus to try out the Real Kick game as well as a 100% deposit match of up to a staggering $5,250.

Here's a beautiful set of images from German photographer Stephanie Jung. They are multiple exposures of four Japanese cities - Tokyo, Osaka, Shibuya and Nara. If you were to just glance at them, you might think they are sketches. Each frame captures so much movement. And in my opinion, these urban scenes are very appropriate for the process. I couldn't find any technical information, but I'm a big fan of the resulting images.

These are the styles of art photography that I don't get. All but the third image don't do anything for me. Too much going on. But they make a lot more money than what I take, so whatever floats the boats and pays the bills.
I thought the same thing.
Because you take photographs, this is art!
I really like the ones full of people: makes it look like a load of movement of a bustling metropolis... The emptier ones doesn't quite make sense though...
Definitely gonna have a try at this...
beautiful. almost cubist in nature. captures the hustle and bustle of city life.
Inside an atelier in New York i saw something similar made by Laurent Dequick - http://ldequick.darqroom.com/ - and since i saw theam i wanted to know how to achieve such results. Can anyone help?
Hi, I can't find an email address to mail to, so I post it here: to the fstoppers webmaster: I have checked your site an hour ago and it was all nice, a new look. Very Nice, but I hope that you will keep this old one.
I really like these shots and they look like paintings to me. I would imagine these printed on huge canvas and sold in a gallery for big $$$$$.
I like, keeps drawing my eye, making me look and look. Would love to know how it was done, in camera or PS?
Great shots and great technique. It reminds me of atelier olschinsky

Neighborhood Newsletters
Albert Kaufman
Hello BlueOregonians. I thought my next blog posting to you might show a little of what I'm thinking neighborhood-wise. I'm the president of my (Beaumont-Wilshire) neighborhood association. In that role, I pen a president' message for our newsletter every 2 months. In the past two newsletters I have written to encourage people to remove their lawns and plant vegetable gardens and about community building. I thought some of you might enjoy this month's message. I really love being part of my neighborhood association - it's the most effective place for change I've ever found. I'll keep traveling to Washington, DC to lobby for more international family planning funding every year, but for the day to day feeling of healing the world, you can't beat your neighborhood association.
It's 7pm on a warm and sunny Tuesday Summer/Autumn evening and I'm on the front porch listening to music on the laptop and watching sunflowers wave in the wind. I talk to neighbors who walk by on Klickitat: with their dogs, bikes, kids and cell-phones. When we connect I tell them about our neighborhood association – an upcoming meeting, community picnic or we talk about trees, gardens or the beginning of the school year. My Father is an extrovert and always speaks to strangers, and this trait is one I'm happy to have inherited. Birds are winging their way from Northeast to Southwest, black crows, as the leaves from the large maple out front drift to the ground. Autumn approaches.
I've been thinking a lot about what to write this month. It's election season and I'm excited about the change I feel in the air. With a BA and MA in political science I have always enjoyed the political process. From my days as student council president in high school to living on a kibbutz for a year and lots of time spent on community councils and planning boards, I love fostering leadership and encouraging people to take initiative and make our world a better place. I believe it increases our joy and happiness when we're involved in our community – I think it's even been shown that those who participate in their communities live longer and have better love lives :)
And, as Cher once said "life is not a dress rehearsal". We get one chance to live big, fantastic lives, why not choose to live large right now? In that vein I'm reminded of one of the suggestions we received to our query of what we should do with our neighborhood association's treasury. Someone wrote in suggesting we have a water fountain on Fremont. It sounds like a radical idea, and I don't know of another neighborhood outside of downtown that has one – so, perhaps it's time for us to take the leap! The idea makes me laugh and I think it would be fantastic and be one more attraction to our business district/social center. We now have people on our board working on intersection repair projects, improving Wilshire Park and continuing to make our neighborhood incredible. I want to encourage you to dream along with us and jump in with any ideas or projects you have that will bring this community together to get to know one another better and increase our sense of place. What's your vision for Beaumont-Wilshire?
Have a great Autumn and I hope to meet you soon at one of our upcoming community events.

Two People Shot Near Columbus Elementary & High School
At least two people were reportedly shot near schools in southeast Columbus.
The victims were located in an area near Liberty Elementary School and Independence High School on Whitlow Road in southeast Columbus.
The incident was reported around 3:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon.
According to police at the scene, a fight led up to the shooting. At least one person of interest was being interviewed.
Columbus Police say neither of the two victims are affiliated with Liberty Elementary or Independence High School.
The high school students were already dismissed for the day.
The elementary school was in the process of letting out. Students and staff still present at Liberty Elementary were placed on lockdown, but that order was lifted Thursday evening.
20-year-old Tywan Stewart was taken to Grant Medical Center with a gunshot wound to his right let. He was expected to be okay. A 14-year-old was shot in the leg and was taken to Nationwide Children's Hospital in critical condition, but will also make a full recovery.
Patrol officers located the suspect vehicle on Winter Lane Park. 32-year-old Atica Woolfork was arrested and charged for helping the alleged shooter flee from the scene.
Police issued an arrest warrant for 30-year-old Arthur N. Woolfork
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the Columbus Police Assault Unit at 645-4141 or Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 645-TIPS.

Lamelle Helase Photo-Repair Cream SPF 50
Lamelle Helase Photo-Repair Cream SPF 50 is a first-of-its-kind product that can physically repair skin cells on an atomic level. This sun protection cream is suitable for all skin types except those suffering from acne.
Lamelle Helase Photo-Repair Cream SPF 50 – Benefits
It consists of Photolyase, a powerful DNA-repairing enzyme that is missing in humans but found in most animals and plants on the planet. Most animals and plants naturally produce this protein, but humans are a relatively new species. Our DNA and bodies have not yet evolved to the stage where we create our own DNA-correcting photolyase.
Sunscreen and antioxidants have, until now, been our only defense against DNA damage. And they have always been able to merely prevent damage – thus there were no means of reversing existing damage. But now, with Helase, we can not only prevent but also physically correct dangerous DNA breaks and "kinks" such as dimers.
|50 (ml)
|Key Ingredients:
Use your products in the following order:
Day Time
- Cleanser - Cleanse the skin in the morning to remove the byproducts that the skin has produced while you were sleeping.
- Day Time Active - Your day time active should be the first protective layer on the skin.
- Day Cream - Apply your day cream/moisturiser to create a protective layer, sealing in your day time active and preventing moisture loss during the day.
- SPF - This is an essential product to apply before leaving home. This is what protects the skin from sun damage and pre-mature ageing and lowers the risk of pigmentation and skin cancers.
- Oral Supplement - Take your oral supplement before leaving home in the morning, to boost the skin's protection.
Night Time
- Cleanser - Cleanse your skin thoroughly in the evening to remove the traces of oil, dust, debris and pollution that has collected from the day's activities.
- Night Time Active - Apply your night time active to start repairing and regenerating the skin.
- Eye Product - Apply your eye product to help stimulate the regeneration of the delicate skin around the eyes.
- Night Cream - Apply your night cream, to seal in moisture and prevent moisture loss and encourage maximum hydration while you sleep.
- Exfoliator - Use your exfoliator twice a week, to get a deep cleansing effect. This also encourages speeding up skin cell turn over, allowing for better penetration of active ingredients and skin cell renewal.
* Should you require any additional advice or assistance, or should you experience any sensitivity or concerns while your skin is adjusting and transitioning on to the new products, PLEASE do not hesitate to call your nearest Skin Renewal Branch so that we can assist you personally. For after hours medical emergencies, please contact 0861 7546 72.

The ultimate choice in stump grinder teeth for performance, durability and value.
Multi-Tip achieved a patent for the original multi-tipped system and won a government award for a high level of innovation because it significantly reduced the time taken on site to replace teeth. With significantly less parts, all it takes is one bolt to hold in the equivalent of four cutting teeth.
It now has 'Patent Pending' status on its new locking system, which greatly reduces bolt stress, has even less parts, less tools required, and reduces wear to the wheel particularly when plunge cutting.
If you are new to Multi-Tip, we would recommend you fit MT2 over the original system.
As with all Multi-Tip stump grinding teeth, we only select superior grade carbide with the correct cobalt percentage formula.
If you already use the original Multi-Tip system and wish to upgrade, we are offering a 25% discount on the new wheel.

Searching for a new way to jam to your music? Look no further than TegoAudio.com! This company sells Nova speakers, a uniquely shaped audio console that plugs into your music device. These are widely acclaimed devices, having been featured in many places; like on tv shows EXTRA and Dr. Drew's Life-Changers, reviewed by Gadget Review, Shopify, Techour, and Buymeaniphone.com, and mentioned online by The Huffington Post, and Golf Stuff We Like.
Nova Speakers are loud enough to fill a room with music, but small enough to fit in your pocket. Link multiple speakers together for even greater sound output. The bass chamber on top of the device collapses in for easier transport. They're rechargeable via USB cable, or they can run for eight hours on an internal lithium ion battery. Nova Speakers are available in red, white, or black chrome tinted colors. There's only three retail locations in California that sell Nova Speakers, so online shopping is the best option. Before S & H, one of these speakers cost $40-more of a splurge if you want my opinion- but Tego Audio guarantees prompt delivery; up to five days on standard shipping.
Tego Audio claims to have the first quality portable speaker. Jeff Willis, the co-founder of the company created Nova speakers after unsuccessfully searching for good portable speakers. The philosophy of Tego Audio is to sell products that are superior in quality, sound, and style. While Nova speakers are an expensive buy, it's certain you will be satisfied with them. Tune into Nova speakers for a whole new listening experience with your music!

Every day, we get questions from our customers about all things beauty. It could be anything, from which products we personally swear by to exactly how to use them for best results. So this week, the BeautyMNL Editors are answering a few inquiries that came in through the mail. By that, of course, we mean our email: firstname.lastname@example.com. There's no Q too big or too small, too strange or too simplistic, so keep 'em coming, beautiful!
E.: "I have pitted scars on my cheeks from my previous acne breakouts. What do you guys recommend to heal or, at least, reduce them?"
ANSWER: When it comes to deep scars or acne wounds that have left crater-like indentations in your skin, there's only so much topical skincare can do. Only a professional laser treatment can completely pave away that level of texturization. In lieu of lasers, what you can do to at least minimize the depth of the scarring is this: exfoliate regularly and use anti-aging treatments that boost cell turnover.
Regular exfoliation gradually smoothens out rough areas and improves the appearance of uneven skin. Anti-aging products, on the other hand, encourage the production of new skin cells to plump up the skin, especially where it's damaged.
TRY: Too Cool for School Replenish Aqua Soft Peeling, now on sale at P637 (limited time only), Neogen Gauze Peeling Green Tea, P1,650, Farmstay Grape Stem Cell Cream, now on sale at P590 (limited time only), Benton Snail Bee High Content Skin, P900
Exfoliator Tips: Choose an exfoliator that suits your skin type. If you're sensitive, try a gentle peeling gel to buff away roughness without causing irritation. If you'd like a more potent treatment, opt for exfoliating pads. Each pad comes soaked in an anti-acne solution—so, not only does it smooth out your skin, it also prevents further breakouts.
Anti-aging Product Tips: Complement the exfoliation process with an anti-aging treatment. Choose a serum with powerful healing ingredients, such as snail mucin, stem cells, and bee venom. These youth-preserving properties gradually lessen the appearance of damaged skin by creating healthier skin cells.
Ann Clarisse Aquila: "I'm not really familiar with brushes and sponges, since I don't know what the difference in the result of applications are. I have the L.A. Girl blender, [which] Mom gave to me for my graduation makeup. But if I'll be using different products, do I wash the sponge or use a different sponge for that? I'm so sorry, these tools aren't really my forte."
ANSWER: Before choosing between makeup brushes and sponges, it's important to think about which products you are using. For powder-based products like bronzer, setting powder, and eyeshadow, brushes work very well. They allow for precise application and control over the amount of pigment pressed into the skin. On the other hand, liquid and cream formulas can be applied using sponges. They impart a soft, flawless finish without caking or creasing.
Having said that, our final answer is that it really depends on your comfort level with the tools at hand. If you find it easier to apply liquid foundation with a buffing brush, go ahead! If you're more comfortable using a sponge (or even your fingers) for all your makeup, do that, too. It's up to you at the end of the day.
TRY: EcoTools Mineral Set, P800, Krist Bansuelo 5-Piece Travel Brush Kit, P2,400, PRO STUDIO Beauty Exclusives Mini Pro Blend Sponge Trio, P445, Wunder2 Wunderblend, P400
Tool Hygiene: When using a sponge with different products, spritz it with makeup sanitizer between uses. Just apply the solution directly over the sponge and wipe away the excess product with tissue paper. This will help you avoid muddy application. Finally, don't forget to wash your sponges and brushes with soap and water once a week.
TRY: Laverne Sanitizer (150ml), P599, Laverne Sanitizer (60ml, P399, Nippon Esthetic Cosmetic Sanitizer, P500
Rosarie Villabito: "Can you recommend the best sunblock for the face for acne-prone/sensitive skin?"
ANSWER: If you have oily, acne-prone skin, look for a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel sunblock. This will absorb in an instant, wear comfortably under makeup, and is the least likely to clog your pores.
TRY: Lumiere Organiceuticals Sunscreen Gel SPF60, P1,180, Bioré UV Watery Essence, P420, Nelly De Vuyst SPF 30+ UVA-UVB Protection, P2,448
The last thing you want is to add another layer of grease on top of oily skin, which is why a gel-based sunscreen is your best bet. Barely-there consistency that dries semi-matte? Check. None of that pore-clogging stickiness sunblock is known for? Check. Good SPF protection? Check. Bonus points for zero white cast!
Tired of acne breakouts? Read anything you need to know on how to heal acne scars.

A Google Home devices sits there waiting for you to issue a command. It's always on. I decided to measure the wattage being used by the device and it works out to be around 2.9 watts.
To work out the cost I plug the 2.9 watts into my Energy Cost Calculator, along with the fact that it is running 24 hours a day. The running cost of the Google Home device is around $8.34 a year, based on the electricity provider I use and set as the default in the Energy Cost Calculator. Your electricity costs may vary.
Keep in mind these devices are really only useful on a room-by-room basis, so there's a good chance you'll be encouraged to buy more. Perhaps one in each room. Each device adds to your electricity cost.
Now of course $8.34 a year isn't that much and if Google Home gives you considerable enjoyment and usefulness, then that's one of the many choices you have to make in life.

On February 20, the H-2B Workforce Coalition delivered the H-2B Workforce Coalition Principles for Comprehensive Immigration Reform to Capitol Hill. This document was created with input from Thoroughbred racing and other industries that rely on the H-2B visa temporary worker program. The principles are designed to convey to federal lawmakers the efficacy of the existing H-2B program. The NTRA is an active member of the H-2B Workforce Coalition.
The H-2B program is at risk due to recent efforts by the U.S. Department of Labor to impose onerous changes that would severely limit the usefulness of the H-2B program to Thoroughbred trainers and other employers who rely heavily on the existing program.
Click here to read the entire H-2B Workforce document. Below is an abbreviated list of its principles.
- Immigration reform must maintain a viable seasonal worker program along the lines of the existing H-2B program for non-agricultural workers.
- Immigration reform must maintain the current protections for American and H-2B workers and not impose burdensome new requirements on employers who use the H-2B program.
- Wage rates required to be paid to H-2B and similarly employed American workers must be based on local markets.

CabinZero bags have lost and found tags built in. This ensures your bag is able to be traced back to you in the event it is lost (or even stolen). The system is also linked directly into the Airline's own baggage tracing system. You just need to register the tag online with Okoban.com as soon as you receive the bag. Your bag then has lifetime protection using this lost and found system.

Once upon a time, the western genre dominated the box office, comparable to the way comic book movies do today. While the genre hasn't died out completely, big studio westerns need to be remakes (True Grit, 3:10 To Yuma), updates of a classic property which the public has all but forgotten about (The Lone Ranger), have another genre grafted onto it (Cowboys & Aliens), or have Quentin Tarantino's name on it (Django Unchained).
Of those titles mentioned above, the Coen brothers' True Grit was perhaps the greatest critical success, which is ironic given that the original film, (which starred John Wayne in his first and only Oscar-winning role), is considered a classic of the genre. Now come reports that Tommy Lee Jones will write and direct a Warner Bros. remake of another Wayne western, 1972's The Cowboys.
The plot follows rancher Wil Andersen, who has to recruit a crew of boys to help him drive his herd of cattle to sale when none of the local men will join him. They have to contend with a gang of cattle thieves - led by Bruce Dern (Big Love) - who are following them along the way. It is not known at this point if Jones will also star.
Tommy Lee Jones and westerns go way back - he stars as a claim jumper who helps escort a group of insane women from Nebraska to Iowa in most recent directing effort The Homesman; his 2005 film The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada was a modern-day western revenge tale, and his directorial debut was a TV movie western, The Good Old Boys.
Jones' path to stardom really began with his role in the famous 1989 TV miniseries, Lonesome Dove and he impressed as a tracker in Ron Howard's The Missing and as a Texas sheriff in the Coen Brothers' modern-day Cormac McCarthy western-noir, No Country For Old Men. He seems to really come alive these days in historical roles, like his firebrand abolitionist congressman in Lincoln, and while he's always a solid presence, he appears to almost resent appearing in blockbusters like Captain America or Men In Black 3.
John Wayne's name is even more synonymous with westerns than Clint Eastwood's, having starred in more than 80 of them. While well-regarded, The Cowboys is not exactly a beloved classic on the level of True Grit or Rio Bravo, although it is notable for being one of the very few Wayne films in which his character dies at the end.
So if Jones is going to remake a John Wayne film, he's smart to avoid the iconic classics, although the outraged fanbase of such things is not as big or vocal as some other genres. My dad hated the True Grit remake, though... so Jones might still need to be careful.
There is currently not release date available for Jones' remake of The Cowboys, but stay tuned for more information as it becomes available. The Homesman is currently in post-production.

One of the special exhibits at the show was 'Dear Jane Through the Years' honoring the 150th year since Jane Stickle finished her quilt in 1863. Author of the Dear Jane book, Brenda Papadakis gave a lecture tour of the quilt exhibit! Awesome!
Here are most of the Dear Jane quilts......some were just too blurry to post. Notice how different border treatments and colors change the whole look sometimes! Fun! Enjoy!
.......JoAnne.....check this one out! :o)
My next post will be the rest of the show! I hope everyone is tolerating this weather better than I am! I feel like a big sweaty mess! Let's all hope the weather turns on Sunday as predicted! :o)
Stay cool!!!

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW: The Humor Shelf
"The collaborative work of Pauline Whitchurch and Evelyn Beilenson, Aging with Attitude: Better Than Dying with Dignity is an 88-page compendium comprised of some of the best 'laugh-out-loud' witticisms showcasing senior citizen responses to life. One of my favorites is 'The upside of senility . . . getting to enbarrass your children.' Presented as full-color cartoons with the saying on the left and the cartoon drawing on the right, [this] is a very highly recommended entertainment and would prove to be an enduringly popular addition to personal and community library collections!"

text: Samwell_Tarly #1 Posted August 3, 2017 Sorry if this has been posted before but I did a little search and nothing has come up. After Brans little creepy episode, his emotionless robotic style must mean something, are they building him up to be the villain of the story. Well heres why I think Bran could be the Night King. Warging Abilities - He can warg animals/humans. Maybe this could possibly hint at the fact Bran might warg the nights King, rather than age or transform into him. Time Travelling - Bran has already created one time travelling conflict. Bran created the injury to Hodor. When the Three-Eyed Raven says the ''Ink is dry'', we actually now know it isnt but more a metaphor to the fact that it shouldnt be re written or messed with. Hounds vision - Does this mean that Brans presence at the Wall is connected to the NK WW creation - Bran saw all this in his training - his reaction to Leaf creating the WW as a defence against the first men was to flinch a way that suggested it was like the shard was going into him, like all them years ago he was that man. He could possibly go back in time to save the Children of the Forest, consequently becoming the NK. Leafs confession - Leaf explains why she and the other children of the forest created the WW, she says ''we needed to defend ourselves......from you'' after a light pause she then says ''from men'', was this a slip up and was aimed directly at Bran. As said maybe he travels back to save the children of the forest after hes messed around with his own time stream, unintentionally allowing them to turn him into a monster. Men can only become WW - The WW have been using Crasters son to increase their regime. Bran is magically gifted so it's possible that this ability could be explained not only by the Night King's origins, but by Bran's powers acting as a channel. Bran was touched - Unlike any other vision that NK was able to see him and touch him therefore nullifying any power that stopped them entering the cave. The reason why the NK was able to see Bran is because they are already physically connected due to being the same person. Identity crisis - Jojen called Bran the raven foreseeing his training with the three eyed raven. When Bran is touched, the three eyed raven says 'its time for you to become me' this could essentially mean he will need to adopt different identities to ensure the fate of the word. Is this plausible?, please discuss, Id love to know what people think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are so excited about seeing your market activity over the coming weeks and don't forget – if your market does not fall between May 13th 27th then you can still take part – May is Markets Month.
With over 900 Markets taking part last year, you will already have heard that Love Your Local Market is the biggest markets the UK has ever seen. This year over fifteen countries worldwide, who came to Brixton Village Market on April 30th to sign a Memorandum of Understanding committing to participation, have adopted the concept.
What was started here in the UK by all you hard working traders and operators, has been an inspiration to the world of markets and you should be very proud that you have started a movement creating the largest market event in the world. Hopefully by now we have received registrations for 1,000 markets participating in #LYLM2015 – if your market is not one of them, then we hope you will register now to #BePartofthe1000.
Competition Time
In advance of this years Love Your Local Market, we would like to make you aware of two competitions that will be running from May 1st and into June, which we hope will capture some of the energy of this years celebrations.
The competition will be asking for video and photographic contributions from market operators, traders and members of the public and we hope that you will use the Press Release Template that can be found in the Love Your Local Market Campaign Pack to send details to your local and regional newspapers and TV and radio stations.
Video Competition
For this we are simply wanting people to capture what it is they love about their local market. There is a prize of £200 to the winning and the outcome will be decided by Facebook Likes. We hope that this approach will give you plenty of material to engage with traders and customers during Love Your Local Market fortnight, increase activity on your Facebook pages and grow the brand awareness of Love Your Local Market.
Photo Competition
Once again the outcome will be decided by the number of Facebook Likes that constitute votes for the pictures submitted.
We are hoping to have a little bit more fun with this one though and have come up with four categories based around the Love Your Local Market acronym. There is a prize of £50 for each category with an additional £100 for the overall winner.
The categories are:
L – Loveliest (market, customer, product, trader etc)
Y – Youngest (trader, business, customers, etc)
L – Longest (market, visiting customers, serving trader/management, etc)
M – Merriest (product, trader, customer, etc)
