My original thoughts on the (dinner) menu at Italian eatery Tipo when I was there a while back were that it offered a little something for everyone, but I felt differently about the brunch version as I was reviewing it while seated at the bar. Not that it didn't have a fair number of options – it included lots of plates, some pizza, and sweets – just that not many of them were the "br" in brunch. That seemed a little odd since I assume many people eat brunch looking for a traditional breakfast.
She started with a Mimosa Spritz – aperol, prosecco, oj – and I stuck with water as I continued perusing the menu. Wanting the early morning meal despite the fact that is was after noon, I picked out the few options that were available to me. Crepes and frittata stood out at first, but it was the Smoked Shortrib and Potato Hash – farm egg, melted onion, sourdough – that had me the most interested. It sounded like a hearty breakfast and met me where I was at at the moment.
Mrs. Portlandeater was in the mood for a Margherita Pizza – fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil, olive oil. It wasn't the most exciting choice on the menu, but the heart wants what the heart wants, as they say. We placed our orders and watched as the pie was created and thrown into the oven. The kitchen appeared to be prepping for dinner as the restaurant was in its last hour before closing to reopen for the night.
Our food came out with mine in a skillet, the seasoned egg and two buttery pieces of toast hiding the hash. It was on the smallish side, though I somewhat expected that because the prices weren't particularly high. Her pizza was traditional with a fair pouring of olive oil on the top. She grabbed a slice and I arranged my food in a way that allowed me to view it all at once.
I took a bite of the toast first and it was marvelous. It was made from fresh bread and crispy through and through; I found a satisfying crunch in every bite. I ate all the toast first, making room to dig into the egg. The chicken seed was cooked to medium and a smidge spicy. As eggs go, it was quite good. I finished that before moving on to the taters.
Based on appearance, I had mixed feelings about the hash. It looked well prepared overall, but the potatoes were a little large for my liking. It was nothing too far outside of the ordinary, but for a hash, smaller bites of potato offer a better ability to mix in the other parts of the dish, allowing for more consistent flavors and textures. An initial bite proved it wasn't devastating, but I felt the beef didn't quite cover for the large potato as well as it could have.
Despite the biggish spuds, the hash was still quite enjoyable. The short rib in particular was really tasty and added the depth I was looking for in the plate even if some potatoes were left without any. These weren't just hash browns, they were a meal – a small one, but still substantial enough to remind me I had made a good decision. I finished those and considered an order of another plate or something sweet, however, my wife had plenty of pizza left and was willing to share.
For pizza purists, the margherita at Tipo is a must. The smattering of mozz and basil on top of thin crust and light red sauce with an olive oil finish is true pizza for many a restaurant-goer. While it's not my personal favorite, I frequently find myself eating her leftovers and Tipo is at least as good as any I've had lately. Before I was done, I found myself gladly consuming half a pizza.
Pizza, drink, and hash plate came to about $37 with tip. Whether you are there for brunch or dinner, Tipo makes really good food. My only issue is that the brunch menu itself falls short on breakfast options. Yes, there are some, but many more are suitable for lunch. If you are in the mood for lunch or dinner, Tipo makes a great choice, but if you want some of the standard morning foods, you might consider going somewhere else.

I hope ya'll had a fun 4th of July weekend! I've been a little under the weather this week. We spent the weekend at Lake LBJ at my friend's in-law's lakehouse and I've been sick since we got back.
I've been friends with Mindy for nine years and she's been trying to get us to come out to the lake for the last four. Something or another has always come up and we have never been able to come up but this year, this year, we finally made it. Nathan being the cautious little guy he is, wasn't too interested in getting in the water.
His idea of staying cool was sucking down popsicles.
And hanging out with Roxie on the dock.
Of course, as soon as we packed up everything and were ready to go home, he came up to me and asked, "Um, did you bring my float?" "Yes. I brought your float." So we hung out a little longer and got in the water after all and then afterwards he even wanted to go for a boat ride. I guess he just needed some time to warm up to the place. I bet next year he'll jump right in the water as soon as we park.
As for today's outfit...it's been something that I've been wanting to wear ever since I bought this skirt but this shirt has been sitting at the bottom of my laundry hamper for months. I just kept forgetting to grab it when I did my striped laundry. Yes. I do my black and white stripes together with those fun little Bounce Color Catcher sheets. I have a stripe problem.
Stripe Shirt: Old Navy, Skirt: Express, Shoes: Ivanka Trump
Hopefully it won't take months for me to wear it again.

We believe that dental treatments should be a pleasant and relaxing experience. Our office is equipped with luxurious amenities, such as paraffin hand wax, fresh flowers, warm blankets, and neck pillows.
This tool uses fluorescent light to highlight oral tissue irregularities including cancer and pre-cancer. This revolutionary tool can alert Dr. Cooley to problems often months before the symptoms of oral cancer would otherwise be apparent. We also perform salivation DNA tests, which provide information about conditions like gum disease as well as overall health conditions. Periodontal care is an essential part of our dental practice.
However, even with a comfortably furnished office, Dr. Cooley understands that some patients experience dental anxiety. To help mitigate these feelings of anxiety, we provide sedation dentistry options. We provide both oral sedation and nitrous oxide. Our team can help you determine which type is best for your needs.
In addition to sedation offerings, we stay abreast of leading dental techniques and equipment that make your dental visit more efficient, effective, and comfortable. At your routine biannual exams, he will perform an oral cancer screening using the advanced OralID?.

People are our greatest resource, but that's not all they are of course!
If you check out our page on What We Believe, you will find that we believe that the church is flat. In other words, what Jesus began in the first century had a flat structure (if it had any structure), with only one head – Jesus!
The church is not meant to have an organisational structure with a hierarchy of leadership offices. Rather, there are people within the church whose particular way of being a gift to the body is to fullfil certain tasks and functions.
Here is a list of just a very few of those people with functions. They are listed for the benefit of those with a more traditional view of the church who need to know who is the most appropriate person to contact for a particular purpose:
Malcolm and Diana Dow – called pastors in the old system, and recognised and accredited as such by the Baptist Union of Victoria. Malcolm provides much of the teaching, visioning, and oversite for the body. Diana is also a teacher, but in addition provides a lot of pastoral care and administrative support. They both provide direction and healing prayer ministry at the Beth Tephillah Ministry Centre, where Diana is also supervises the volunteer staff and is the contact for appointments.
Arthur Donohue – provides administrative support, property management skills, transport, friendship ministry, and a beautiful singing voice.

Documents with TOI suggest, almost 2,000 truckloads of coal procured from WCL, Betul through Gujarat small industries corporation (LUN) in 2014-15 are missing.
Madhya Pradesh's commercial tax department blew the lid off the scam after probing a complaint in Betul district in the first quarter of 2015.
Sales Tax Officer Betul, R D Tiwari, who investigated the matter told TOI, "I think it should be investigated thoroughly at a bigger scale."
Officials of WCL said, all due taxes have been paid for the coal and it could be related to several other things, apart from tax evasion. Technically, as trucks have not crossed state borders it could be said they are missing."
Replying to a communication WCL, Pathakheda, officials informed sales tax department that between year 2009-10 and 2014-15, cumulatively 1,08,477 metric tonne of coal was allotted to New Saurashtra Bricketing Industries Association and Atul Industries of Gujarat from WCL mines in Pathakheda.
A communication made by investigation officer (which is with TOI) reads, "Between April 1, 2014 and March 17, 2015, a total of 2,016 form 49 were downloaded from our software by WCL, Pathakheda, Betul. Most of these were downloaded, but on checking records at our outposts it was found only 25 outgoing form 49 and 5 incoming forms were registered."
"Majority of these form 49 were downloaded against New Saurashtra Bricketing Industries Association, Ahemdabad, Gujarat. A total of 1,845 outgoing and 141 incoming form 49 did not cross state borders. As majority of these forms did not cross state borders there are chances coal was sold somewhere in state itself, causing loss to revenue," states the report.
Coal linkages are provided to MSMEs by Coal India Limited through state agencies.
These linkages enable MSMEs to procure coal at Rs 1,500 to 2,200 per metric tonne, but instead of using it for the purpose meant, it is sold by companies in open market at Rs 6,500 to Rs 7,000 per metric tonne thus making a profit of more than 200% and causing revenue loss to state exchequer, said official sources.
If rough estimates are to be considered, difference between market rates and subsidized rates at which these coal is supplied to companies is considered, it comes out to be close to Rs 40 crore.
Naeem Khan, a complainant in the case told TOI, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. If proper investigations are carried out then anomalies of LUN and connivance of state government officials with private companies will come out."

Good morning and Happy Monday! The sun is shining today, and I'm in better spirits :) Thanks for all the Happy Anniversary wishes, so nice of you all!
Yesterday evening Ben and I got severe cabin fever so we went to Borders to look around for awhile. Then we headed over to Chipotle, got ourselves some burrito bowls and brought them home to eat. I started eating Chipotle in Minneapolis, and let me tell you, it is just fantastic. All the ingredients are completely fresh, unprocessed, family-farmed, sustainable, organic and 100% delish! My only gripe is they give you enough to feed a small army – or if you're me, enough to feed you twice! I ate half my portion for dinner, and am eating the other half today for lunch. My burrito bowl consists of:
- Rice
- Black beans
- Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa
- Fresh Tomato Salsa
- Chipotle chicken
It was so fresh and had so many bright flavors I definitely could have eaten the whole thing, but that would not have been a very wise decision ;) My favorite items in this bowl are the Fresh Tomato Salsa, which is packed with cilantro, and the Chipotle chicken which is really smoky and charred. For lunch I also packed a crispy, sliced Braeburn apple.
This morning I had hmmmm, yep – the best bowl of oatmeal I've ever made! Super creamy, sweet, exotic and crunchy due to the following ingredients:
- ½ cup Oats
- 1 cup Milk/water
- 1 medium banana
- Generous sprinkle of Cinnamon
- Splash of vanilla
- Toasted almonds
- Toasted coconut
- Maple syrup (star ingredient!)
I miss this bowl already, it was so good!
I totally slacked off on working out and running in the second half of last week – darn! This is going to be an insane week in terms of things I need to get accomplished, but I've got to make working out a priority. I find the longer I go without working out and/or running, the harder it is to get back into a routine. I'm kicking off my routine with a walk during lunch today – yes!
Do you all have a workout routine you like to stick to? How do you feel when you miss workouts or fall out of your routine?
Have a suuuuuper Monday!

How To Help Your Baby Develop Strong Vision
Even though your newborn cannot see much, from birth the eyes develop at an astonishing rate. Blurry shapes become real objects, and a flat, dull single dimension turns into full depth perception. Most infants' eyes follow a natural development pattern, but you can aid in strong vision development by providing eye-stimulating activities for your child.
1. Keep things moving.
Even though your baby will not be able to focus directly on your face during the first few months of life, you can still help your baby develop strong eye movement and head movement by altering their physical environment. For example, instead of placing your baby in the same position in the crib, you can try turning her so that their head is in a different end on altering nights. This gives her slightly new surroundings to look at and become acquainted with. The same applies to the swing or bouncy seat in the living room. Don't just leave the swing in the same corner, but alter its position every few days. As you walk around room, talk to your baby to provide motivation from them to turn their head and move their eyes in the direction of your voice.
2. Take advantage of tummy time.
Your family doctor probably stresses tummy time because it helps head, shoulder, neck, and arm muscle development. However, tummy time is also important for eye development as well, including testing new depth perception and using the eyes to coordinate with the rest of the body for balance and motion. Place toys on the floor for your child to look at, and allow for different floor surfaces with different patterns.
3. Help your baby use the eyes to direct motion.
Of the reasons why eyesight is so important is that the body depends on sight to help the brain known what signals to send to the muscles for movement. Babies learn depth perception and coordination as the eyes get stronger. Encourage this connection by giving your baby high fives, by clapping your hands or assisting them in clapping theirs. Roll toys or balls to train the eye muscles to track movement in a continuous stretch. Peek-a-boo and providing finger foods (once the child is able to eat solids) that encourage hand-eye coordination are also great eye-development tools.
Although rare, infants can have eye development problems from birth. If you notice that your infant cannot focus well, has rapid, erratic eye movements, or does not respond to changes in light, contact an eye doctor to set up an infant vision test.

Blood sugar must be maintained at an adequate level to give the brain fuel.
There's been lot in the popular press lately about blood sugar, pre-diabetes and the risk of diabetes. What does it all mean for you?
Most of us love sweets. In fact, our tongue and brains are biologically programmed to like sweets to prevent us from being poisoned. But it's not the sweets found in Mother Nature but the refined sugar and corn fructose found in so many processed foods that becomes the problem.
Maybe you've had symptoms of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar fluctuations: fatigue, shakiness, sweating, weakness, irritability, poor sleep, headaches, blurry vision, and brain fog. You may have been to your doctor and been diagnosed with hypoglycemia, prediabetes or insulin resistance. Or, you may have even tried to figure out how to adjust your diet to prevent the rapid rise or fall of your energy levels.
Are You Hypoglycemic?
Blood sugar must be maintained at an adequate level to give the brain fuel. Glucose is the only fuel our brain uses. When the brain does not have sufficient glucose to fuel itself – i.e. hypoglycemia – it makes it difficult to perform everyday tasks such as driving, attending school, focusing at work, or having enough energy to exercise.
In a healthy body, our brain and glandular system work together to maintain blood sugar. The part of the brain called the hypothalamus monitors your blood sugar, and sends a message to the glandular system for the adrenal glands and liver to release energy stores. The liver then converts protein into glucose to raise your blood sugar.
However, if you have poor protein digestion, and/or a glandular system that has been exhausted by stress or illness ,you will not be able to raise your blood sugar.
These basic body malfunctions are often overlooked by traditional approaches yet these factors are at the root cause of blood sugar problems.
The Solution
If what you've tried isn't working, join thousands of other people in the Chico, Redding, and the Sacramento Valley who have gotten their blood sugar under control with our 3-part approach: we improve your digestion, especially of protein and simple carbohydrates (sugars), offer a short term food plan to rebalance your body and we provide neuroendocrine stimulation to help the body reestablish it own natural ability to maintain its blood sugar without medications.
To learn how you can overcome diabetes and low blood sugar call Dr. Patrick's Chico office today at 530-899-8741 to schedule a consultation so you can feel better again!

Family's Shropshire skiing connection spans borders
International junior skiers came to Shropshire to train, reinforcing a bond between clubs that goes back almost 30 years.
Pauli and Vicky Candlin, born and raised in Austria, visited the Telford Snowboard & Ski Centre to follow in the footsteps of their father David.
David, 47, was a popular trainer at the Telford Ski Club in the 1980s, and later managed the centre.
Even after moving to Austria in 2000 to teach, he maintains a strong partnership between the Madeley club and his own in Alpbach, Tyrol.
He visits every year, usually accompanied by international competitors Pauli, 17, and Vicky, 15, who both have Austrian-British nationality.
The pair both participate in the Junior Freeride World Tour, and Pauli is ranked 9th in the Austrian competition.
"That's not too bad in the skiing nation," said Pauli, who was born in Austria like his younger sister.
"From next year I will be in the official senior Freeride World Tour, I can't wait.
"I love skiing because it is the closest feeling you can get to flying.
"The feeling you get beneath your feet is amazing.
"You can always go higher, faster and further, there is always room for improvement.
"The first time I ever wore skis was when I was in Telford when I was young. I can't remember a winter without skiing."
Pauli and Vicky both first put on skis while visiting Telford, and progressed under the tutelage of experienced father David.
He now acts as the director of children's skiing at the Alpbach Activ ski school.
Skiers and instructors from Alpbach often visit Madeley to train and share resources, and vice versa.
David said: "My parents still live in Wellington, it's really nice.
"I come back every year for a few days. Telford has changed so much over the years.
"The people are still great though, and I do miss England.
"I've tried to keep the Telford connection going, it's a bit like a family aspect to it.
"The Telford ski team is one of the sponsors for Vicky and Pauli, I think it is brilliant because it is all a closed circle as this is where I started out."
One of the instructors who learned from David in the 1980s was Nigel Buckley, who now works at the club as a duty officer.
Nigel said: "We are lucky to have them here, it's pretty amazing.
"We have been pleased to have a partnership with the club over in Austria for some years.
"David worked closely with us for some time and when he moved over there we maintained that connection.
"We always welcome them back with open arms."

For three and a half quarters it seemed Dover had a firm grip on tonight's game. They led 30-21 with 4:00 minutes to play before Alvirne mounted an impressive comeback, outscoring Dover 15-1 down the stretch. The Broncos took their first lead of the game with just over a minute to play when Kaycee Carbone (#3) found herself open for a three pointer, off an inbounds play. They would add 4 more points, including an amazing full court football pass to Amanda Wetmore (#15) to seal the game with 8 seconds remaining.
"They have a lot of heart," said head coach Steve Tracy, "It was a gutsy win by a bunch of young kids."
The Broncos' team feature 7 sophomores, 2 juniors and only 1 senior (Carbone), after a foot injury ended Emily Barry's season. Coach Tracy gave credit to a very tough opponent in Dover, "They have six seniors who have been together for a long time."
One of those seniors, Abby Tilton (#20) gave her team and early 5-0 edge with a corner three. Dover's 2-3 zone defense gave Alvirne trouble early on as they tried feed the ball inside to Marissa Sweeney (#23). Sweeney would find some room down low to score the Broncos' first points of the game.
Sam Ratte (#11) played an aggressive defense all game fighting through picks to defend the three point threats from Dover. Ratte hit her first shot with just over 4 minutes to play in the first quarter to cut the Dover lead down to one point.
Kaite Boyatsis (#5) would find her way to the basket putting Dover up 7-4. With the paint on lockdown Alvirne looked elsewhere to points and found 3 in the hands of junior Jess Baker (#10). Baker's three-pointer tied the game at 7 and it would stay that way for a while.
Both teams clamped down defensively for the remainder of the 1st quarter and well into the 2nd. It took until the 3:45 mark for Abby Tilton to break the scoring draught with a deep three. Sam Ratte, back into the game after a short breather, took the ball the length of the floor following a deflection to cut into the Dover lead. But, another three-pointer, this time from Abigail Cooke, put the Green Wave up 13-9.
Allison Benson (#23) grabbed an offensive rebound and scored to extend the lead 15-9. With just 53 seconds remaining in the half Sam Ratte took a three point attempt. The shot missed, but she was fouled on the play and headed to the line. Ratte made 2 of 3 to close out the scoring in the first half. At the half, Dover: 15, Alvirne: 11.
Kaycee Carbone opened the scoring in the third quarter with her team trailing by 4. Her shot cut it to a two point deficit. Abigail Cooke answered for Dover with a three-pointer. Then Sam Ratte scored for the Broncos to leave the score 18-15. After a miss by Alison Benson, Katie Boyatsis grabbed the rebound and scored. Timeout Alvirne.
The Broncos looked solid out of the timeout baskets from Carbone and Nicole Teague (#22). But Dover would close out the quarter with 4 points of their own. First, Mercedes McDermott (#32) got position down low and scored. Then, after an Alvirne turnover, Boyatsis dribbled the length of the floor and scored with a pretty finish at the buzzer. At the end of the 3rd quarter, Dover: 24, Alvirne: 19.
Dover continued to feed the ball to McDermott early in the 4th. With two strong moves to the basket she increased the Green Wave lead to 28-19. Marissa Sweeney and Abigail Cooke traded shots and Alvirne trailed 30-21 with 4:00 left in the game. Cue the comeback!
The Broncos really hunkered down and pressured the Dover shooters late in the game. With a strong move to the hoop, Sam Ratte drew a foul and made both free throws. 30-23. Amanda Wetmore got to the line, making 1 of 2. 30-24.
The Alvirne D pressured Cooke as she tried to move up court, causing her to step on the sideline. After some solid ball movement Nicole Teague got open for three and nailed it. 30-27. Ratte came up again on the defensive end, stealing the ball and going the length of the floor. 30-29 Dover.
Emily Benson ended the 8-0 run, getting to the line and making 1 of 2 for Dover. It would be the team's last point of the evening.
Alvirne had an inbounds play still trailing by 2 points with just over a minute to play. Carbone. Open. THREE. GOOD!!!! Broncos take a 32-31 lead.
Dover tried to counter but the shots would not fall. Alvirne stepped up their perimeter defense and challenged for every rebound. With 45 second to go the Broncos passed the ball around, out high before finding Nicole Teague down low for two more points. The final basket came thanks to a beautiful full court pass to Amanda Wetmore who hit the lay-up with 8 seconds remaining. Final Score, Alvrine: 36, Dover: 31. An unbelievable comeback by the Broncos, outscoring Dover 15-1 in the final minutes.
Sam Ratte led all scorers with 12 points. Kaycee Carbone finished with 10 points including that clutch three late in the 4th. Marissa Sweeney totaled 7 points.
Abigail Cooke was the only Dover player in double figures. She finished with 10 points. Her teammates Katie Boyatsis, Abby Tilton and Mercedes McDermott all finished with 6 points each.
"The pressure at the end, I think, won it," said Coach Tracy postgame, "It wasn't always pretty, but I have to give Dover credit. Just two tough teams gutting it out."

Free Printable: Back to School Checklist for Special Needs Students {#1 in a Series}
It is hard to believe, but Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools start up in just over a month. The transition back to school is an especially big deal for us this year because our son will be starting Kindergarten. Getting him prepared has been a big job - there is a lot to do to ensure that he is ready for the change...and also to make sure that the school is ready to receive our unique learner! We have done a lot (including the 7 - yes 7 - trips I have made to the new school), but there is more to be done before the end of August.
As we start thinking about what is left to do to make the transition to elementary school a good one, naturally I decided to make a list (those of you who know me well know that list-making is a given for me). We know that we are not the only ones who need to prepare their students before major transitions, so we decided to make a free printable checklist for our readers. Please download it and feel free to share! This is the first post in our back to school series - stay tuned for more tips and free printables in the coming weeks.

European Foot & Ankle Clinic
We can help you! For your first evaluation and resolution to your concerns please visit us at any of our 4 Chicago land locations , call today (773)205-0106. We speak English, Spanish, Polish and Russian.
We use advanced and innovative European neurolitic dehydrated alcohol injections to shrink neuromas and provide long-term , non-surgical solutions wherever possible.
A neuroma is a tender area that develops as a result of an overgrowth or swelling of nerve tissue. Sometimes referred to as benign nerve tumors, neuromas tend to develop in the ball of the foot where pressure is concentrated during walking, standing, and other activities, but they can occur in other areas as well. One of the most common types of neuroma in the feet is Morton's neuroma, a painful swelling that occurs in the ball of the foot. Most neuromas can be diagnosed with an examination of the foot which looks for lumps or bumps under the skin that are associated with neuroma symptoms when pressed or touched.
How is a neuroma diagnosed?
Many neuromas can be diagnosed with a physical examination of the foot , ultrasound test or just with gentle pressure on the ball of the foot to locate areas of thickened tissue and to observe and evaluate the resulting sensations. X-rays may also be ordered to ensure symptoms are not being caused by another condition and would most of the time show bone compression of the painful area .
How is neuroma treated?
Some neuromas respond well to conservative treatment options aimed at reducing the pressure and irritation around the nerve so inflammation and pain can resolve. Often, switching to footwear that fits properly can provide significant relief of symptoms while also reducing the pressure that causes nerve inflammation. Avoiding high heels is also important since the sloped shape of the shoe can significantly increase pressure on the ball of the foot where neuromas are most likely to occur. Custom orthotics and Gel silicon toe cups ( latter currently available ONLY at our clinic) can be very effective in helping relieve pressure on nerve tissue so pain and inflammation can resolve. Pain medications including both oral medicines and injected solutions such as European homeopathic as well as Dehydrated Alcohol, Plasma PRP or Steroids can also be effective in providing immediate relief for symptoms, including both pain and inflammation. Other techniques like extracorporeal shockwave therapy can also be effective in treating neuromas and relieving symptoms. When surgery is necessary, the doctors use minimal incision/no scar surgeries to improve recovery time and reduce the risk of scarring.
We welcome patients from all over Chicago & Hammond IN including: 46320, 46324, 46323, 46406, 46404, 46312, 46327, 46321, 46402, 46408, 46409, 46403, 46405, 46375, 46311, 46373, 46373, 46303, 46304, 46301, 46307, 60657, 60638, 60614, 60622, 60645, 60639, 60630, 60634, 60532, 60525, 60527, 60558, 60559, 60555, 60554, 60552, 60455, 60457, 60549, 60805, 60803, 60623, 60629, 60622, 60625, 60629, 60620, 60623, 60651, 60639, 60641, 60618, 60610, 60614, 60613, 60611, 60304, 60305, 60301, 60302, 60303, 60316, 60607,60201, 60290, 60640, 60630, 60659, 60654, 60656, 60641, 60640, 60642, 60645, 60647, 60171, 60707, 60656, 60631, 60614, 60625, 60629, 60659, 60660, 60613, 60657, 60618, 60622, 60610, 60068.

Dressing Up a Sweatshirt
Well, hello there! It's been forevaaaaaaa! Work life is calming down slightly, so I at least have time to put a blog post together. Hooray!
I have to admit, I haven't jumped on the sweatshirt bandwagon, but the one from the Altuzarra collection at Target caught my eye. I love the silky fabric on the front. So I guess that wouldn't classify as a complete sweatshirt, huh? 🙂
I think there are so many possibilities with this shirt. Obviously you could pair it with jeans like I did. But, I did add a statement necklace and booties to dress it up a little for work. The Target site shows it with a black pencil skirt, but I think a black pencil skirt is such a safe choice. What about hunter green? Or a purple? Y'all know I love color!
Do you love my baby pony tail?! I haven't been able to do this for seven years! I love it short, but being able to pull it back is AHHH-MAZING.
Here are some of my Stella & Dot favorites over the last few years.

Age is no bar to good sex, says a study of the increasing numbers of sexually active 70-year-olds.india Updated: Jul 09, 2008 20:53 IST
Age is no bar to good sex, says a study of the increasing numbers of sexually active 70-year-olds, both men and women.
Increasing number of such women reported having greater satisfaction, more women experienced orgasm during sex and fewer reported never having had one, according to the study.
Knowledge about sexual behaviour in 70-year-olds is scanty, with even less being known about "normal" sexual behaviour in the 70s' group.
Nils Beckman and colleagues from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden studied attitudes to sex among four representative samples of 70-year-olds in the country, whom they interviewed over a 30-year period.
Over 1,500 people were interviewed about aspects of their sex lives including sexual dysfunctions, marital satisfaction and sexual activity.
The authors found that over the 30-year period, the number of 70-year-olds of both sexes reported having more sex.
The data included married men who saw numbers rise from 52 percent to 98 percent, married women from 38 percent to 56 percent, unmarried men from 30 percent to 54 percent and unmarried women from 0.8 percent to 12 percent.
The authors also noted that the number of men reporting erectile dysfunction decreased, whereas the proportion reporting ejaculation dysfunction increased, but the proportion reporting premature ejaculation did not change.
Interestingly, both men and women blame men when sexual intercourse stops between them. This finding replicates the results of other studies in the 1950s and in 2005-06.
"Our study... shows that most elderly people consider sexual activity and associated feelings a natural part of later life," the researchers concluded.

The Boss Baby is generic animated fare, but it's bolstered by a unique visual flair and important lessons for children in the audience.
Tim Templeton (Miles Bakshi) is a 7-year old kid with an overactive imagination living the dream. As an only child, he receives the undivided attention of his loving parents Ted (Jimmy Kimmel) and Janice (Lisa Kudrow), including a bedtime routine of three stories, five hugs, and one special song. Tim's ultimate desire is for it to be the three of them forever, which is why his life gets turned upside down with the arrival of a new baby brother. Tim instantly becomes jealous of the infant, who basically takes over the house with his constant demands and everyone tries to adjust.
The senior Templetons are infatuated by the baby's cuteness, but Tim is incredibly suspicious of his suit-wearing, briefcase-carrying sibling. Trying to discover the truth behind the family's newborn, Tim is startled to discover that the baby can talk like a fully-grown adult (Alec Baldwin) and is conducting business on a secret mission. Introducing himself as the "Boss Baby," Tim's brother reveals he was sent from Baby Corp. to stop the launch of a new product from Puppy Co., which would severely limit the amount of love in the world for babies. Tim agrees to help Boss in his quest, so the baby can receive a top-notch promotion at his job and Tim's life can be restored back to normal.
The Boss Baby is the latest feature from DreamWorks Animation, the studio behind the Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon series (among others). It is directed by Tom McGrath, who co-helmed DreamWorks' lucrative Madagascar franchise, so the hope going into Boss Baby was that it could be a solid piece of entertainment for the family that delivers laughs and a touching story. On that front, the movie is mostly successful. The Boss Baby is generic animated fare, but it's bolstered by a unique visual flair and important lessons for children in the audience.
Screenwriter Michael McCullers, known primarily for his work in live-action comedy with the Austin Powers series, penned the Boss Baby script, and it's safe to say it's what audiences probably expected when they first heard of the project. The main narrative runs a little thin and follows a rather predictable trajectory, but it's still generally strong in its execution. In particular, the world-building is somewhat creative, imagining a place where babies and puppies are embroiled in a war for affection against one another. McGrath has fun playing with the rules of this universe, fully immersing himself in the fantasy element to showcase things like babies that never grow up. The screenplay lacks the subtext viewers have seen in other animated films, but the tale of two brothers is enjoyable enough and has some moments of sweet sentimentality.
On a technical level, McGrath takes advantage of the benefits of the animation realm when constructing the elaborate playtime fantasies that go on in Tim's head. The director really captures the spirit of being a kid, as the young protagonist runs through the childhood gauntlet that sees him pretend to be everything from a ninja to a pirate. These sequences are fun to watch and inventive in their style, rendering the "real world" through the perception of an energetic boy whose mind runs rampant with the possibilities. There are some nice comedic bits that juxtapose what goes on in Tim's head with what the parents see (especially a backyard "car chase"), and they only get more extravagant as the film moves along. Running at just over an hour and a half, McGrath also does a good job of establishing a pace, meaning The Boss Baby never overstays its welcome.
Fortunately, the interesting visuals are complemented by a pair of satisfactory leads that carry the movie on their shoulders. Baldwin is the clear star as the Boss Baby, doing an amusing riff on his Jack Donaghy persona from 30 Rock (plus a nod to Glengarry Glen Ross). Granted, the schtick of the actor's voice coming out of the mouth of an adorable toddler loses some of its impact throughout the course of the movie, but Baldwin does a good job in the role. The same can be said for Bakshi as Tim, whose turn here can be a valuable teaching tool for families going through a similar situation (i.e. a newborn baby). The arcs of the brothers Templeton can be seen coming from a mile away, but they nevertheless feel earned as the characters spend a majority of their screen time in each other's company and form a bond.
The supporting cast isn't as lucky. Kimmel and Kudrow's parts are fairly thin as the basic parents who care about their children and only want what's best for them. Steve Buscemi has a small role as Puppy Co. CEO Francis Francis, but he too isn't given all that much to do. In fact, the meatiest secondary character is Tobey Maguire, who voices the adult Tim narrating the story. Maguire is able to inject his natural charm and humor into his performance, but the movie's reliance on the voice over - particularly early on - comes across as largely unnecessary, as The Boss Baby falls victim to the trap of telling, not showing. These shortcomings are excusable, however, since the bulk of the film is about the two young brothers, and McGrath rightfully places them in the spotlight.
In the end, The Boss Baby won't win any prizes for being the next great animated film, but it nevertheless gets the job done and mainly accomplishes what it sets out to do. Its target audience is definitely the juice box crowd (as opposed to the entire family, like some of Pixar's best efforts), but both parents and kids should get a small kick out of Tim and Boss' exploits if the children are eager to see it. Again, Boss Baby is not revolutionary in any way, but it makes for a solid day out at the movies, and could lead to some meaningful conversations afterwards about sibling rivalries.

Why New York Shouldn't Mourn Earmarks
The ban on spending earmarks adopted this past week by Republicans in the House and Senate represents a Round One victory for the Tea Party over a GOP establishment that took pork-barrel spending to a new high (or perhaps low) during the Bush years. Congressional Democrats — still reeling from their electoral pummeling — are about to find themselves largely alone in maintaining a practice that represents corruptive policymaking at its worst.
Ed Schultz hysterically declared on his MSNBC show that banning earmarks "would gut Middle America." Partisans like Schultz are worried, but should New Yorkers be concerned?
Hardly. New York would actually be a winner under an earmark ban, because research by my Cato Institute colleague Brandon Arnold shows that when it comes to the distribution of pork, no state fares worse than New York.
In 2009, New York taxpayers contributed just over 8.2% of the overall federal tax burden. It would be reasonable to expect a similar percentage of earmarked dollars to flow back to the state. In reality, New York received only about 2.1% of total earmarked funds. As a result, the Empire State has the dubious distinction of being the nation's biggest "earmark donor" state.
New York is not alone. Unbelievably, 90% of the US population resides in an earmark donor state. In addition to New York, taxpayers in 34 other states and the District of Columbia are essentially picking up the tab for 16 "earmark beneficiary" states.
Mississippi and West Virginia are the biggest takers, with Alaska and Hawaii not far behind. Mississippi's and West Virginia's shares of earmarked dollars have been a respective 11 and six times larger than their share of federal taxes paid.
What do these states have in common? They've had powerful friends in Congress. Arnold found a correlation between a state's earmarks and its representation on the appropriations committees — "where earmarks are born and bred." Longtime Senate appropriators like Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.), Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Ted Stevens (R-Alaska) and Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) had been in prime position to bring home the bacon.
This explains why politicians like the recently re-elected Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — an appropriator — strongly oppose any efforts to change the status quo. Murkowski's Alaska has received a share of earmarked dollars that is 5 1/2 times larger than its share of federal taxes paid.
Banning earmarks wouldn't "gut Middle America" — it would just mean a powerful club of policymakers would find it more difficult to ladle federal gravy on their constituents at the expense of the rest of the country.
But don't uncork the champagne just yet.
Critics of the Republicans' earmark ban have a point when they argue that it won't save a lot of money. While the tawdry and often questionable uses of earmarked money draw a lot of attention, it represents less than half of 1% of total federal spending.
Yes, earmarking greases the skids for bigger spending and more intrusive government. Policymakers are more willing to support a particular piece of legislation if it contains goodies for their district or state. But earmarked money almost always comes from federal programs that are themselves constitutionally and practically dubious.
Take, for example, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant program. The $8 billion CDBG program provides formula-based grants to localities for a range of development projects such as parking lots, museums and street repairs. These are precisely the type of local projects that members of Congress are fond of bypassing distribution formulas to directly fund via an earmark.
Just as earmarks have achieved notoriety for wasteful and ineffective spending, community development programs funded through traditional means have had the same problem.
Examples from New York abound. The city of Utica spent CDBG funds on a variety of improper uses, such as $902,799 on a marina and $255,158 on ski chalet renovations. The city of Troy used $1.6 million to lure a hockey team to the city. And Niagara Falls and Lockport used $12 million to build an amusement center, which shut down after just six months of operation.
Even if CBDG funds went entirely to "worthy" projects, federal funding is still an inefficient way to foster local economic development because of the excessive bureaucracy that results from funneling money through multiple levels of government.
Federal administration costs are about 5% of the value of CDBG grants, with local and state governments taking a 17% and 8% cut, respectively. A large share of the CDBG budget disappears before any actual work is done.
Therefore, the goal shouldn't be to get the state of New York an equal share of federal subsidies that go to state and local governments, be it earmarks or grants. Rather, the goal should be for New York and the rest of the states to reassume responsibility for their own affairs. When that happens, the Tea Party can start pouring the champagne.

Following an substantial renovation in 2015 as component of the bigger Scioto Greenways project, the park now characteristics expanded multi-objective trails and river access for little, hand-powered watercraft. Audubon Park consists of athletic fields, a basketball court, picnicking regions, a playground and a non-reservable shelterhouse. For the duration of the winter months guests come to the park to view the snow-capped trees, and to warm up inside the lush environments of the conservatory. Antrim Park was acquired in 1970 as a present from the Antrim family and committed to John C. Antrim.

April 22, 2007 – Yesterday's assassination of Fallujah, Iraq, City Council Chairman Sheikh Sami Abdul-Amir al-Jumaili was a reprehensible and cowardly act, Multinational Force Iraq officials said in a statement today. The councilman was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting outside his house in the city.
"This was an attack on democracy by individuals who oppose the concept of government that is representative of and responsible to the people of Iraq," officials said in the statement. "Multinational Force Iraq sends its sincerest condolences to the loved ones and colleagues of Sheikh Sami al-Jumaili and the citizens he gallantly represented."
The statement called the killing a "reprehensible act" aimed at destroying the Iraqi people's chance at a better future. But, officials said, the attack resolves U.S. commitment to rebuilding Iraq and supporting its government.
"This cowardly act only strengthens our commitment to the people and government of Iraq as they continue to establish a free and democratic society," officials stated.
According to news reports, the Fallujah City Council chairman was an outspoken critic of al Qaeda and the fourth council chief to be assassinated in just more than a year. Abdul-Amir's predecessor, Abbas Ali Hussein, was shot to death Feb. 2. Abdul-Amir's assassination came only a month after the 65-year-old sheikh volunteered to take the job.

The number 12 jersey carries a significant meaning to the Coast Guard men's soccer program. Lieutenant Junior Grade Thomas Cameron ('09) wore the number while playing at the Academy. Cameron, co-captain of the 2008 ECAC championship team, was an excellent player who was a leader and mentor for his teammates. Cameron's contributions to the program also included an assistant coaching stint while waiting for his next phase of flight school in the fall of 2009.
Tragically Cameron died on February 28, 2012 as Coast Guard helicopter, designation 6535, went down in Mobile Bay, Alabama during a training flight. The accident claimed the lives of all four crew members on board. His loss was felt by many including everyone he had played with or had been coached by at the Academy. Sporting tradition would have it given such a tragedy Cameron's number would be retired, but Parsons saw an opportunity to honor Thomas' legacy. Every year Parsons picks a senior whose leadership, hard work, and desire to win mirrors what Thomas brought to the program over the course of the five years.
"I am excited that Luke (Telang) is this year's #12," said head coach Chris Parsons. "He has many of the same characteristics on and off the field that Thomas possessed. Going all the way back to his game winning goal freshman year against King's Point, I knew Luke would be an impact player for us in the attacking third just as Thomas was. He brings an energy and passion to the game. Thomas brought that energy to the team. I love looking back at the 2008 season highlight film and watching Thomas celebrate after goals. Luke is the same way. It gets the guys pumped up and continues the legacy of great team spirit that the men's soccer program has cultivated over the years."
Lieutenant Junior Grade John Tarzian wore number 12 during the 2014 season when Coast Guard earned their first NCAA Tournament berth in 33 years.
"Wearing number 12 was the biggest honor I have ever received as a player period," commented Tarzian. "It means so much to the program and the embodiment of Thomas's legacy on and off the field. The number 12 on the team is a player who has an ability to change games. Personally speaking, I was not a player who could change a game with my soccer skills (not like Greg Kennerley, Lukas Benedetto, or Alex Lane) however I think that wearing number 12 motivated me and pushed me through the game, the practices and even the time I spent with a broken leg. When the team sees the number 12 working their ass off its contagious. The next thing you know everyone is getting stuck in to tackles, going after the 50/50s, and playing with the passion and grit Thomas played with, the passion and grit only the Coast Guard Academy men's soccer team can produce."
Ensign Lukas Benedetto not only embodied the number 12 mentality on the field but carries the same drive with him every day.
"Wearing the number 12 jersey is the greatest honor of my service career," said Benedetto. "Those who have worn number 12 will have different interpretations of what it meant to them but, it will inspire and emotionally move us all the same like nothing else I have seen. To me, it represents the never-ending search to achieve greatness both on the pitch and in life. It means to work harder, run faster and jump farther than your opponent. It means to keep going, even on the days you're tired, feel sick or want to give up. Success is never freely given, it is earned. This is who Thomas was and that is what it means to wear number 12. Wearing that jersey meant the world to me and I will take that with me wherever I go"
This season, senior co-captain Luke Telang was selected by Parsons to continue the tradition and wear the number 12 jersey.
"Wearing the number 12 this year is really an honor," added Telang "I think back to the guys I have played with in the last three seasons who have worn number 12, and they are all people whom I still look up to today. I just hope to emulate the same leadership qualities they did, through passion and dedication. The number 12 serves as a motivator for me to elevate my game, and work the hardest I can whenever I step on the field. I owe that to my teammates. Every game I look forward to competing alongside the greatest teammates I could ask for, and I could not be more thrilled to sport the 12 in my last season here at the Coast Guard Academy."
The Bears are on the road tomorrow September 23rd, against Emerson in their second NEWMAC game of the season.

The Bible Is The True Words…Of The One True God
Realize That We Are All Sinners Against A Holy God
Repent. What Does That Really Mean?
Receive Jesus Christ As Your Lord And Savior, Today
Are you a Christian? Are you sure?
Want to leave the group of humankind called the unrepentant and unredeemed and enter the group called the Bride Of Christ? A simple prayer to God is the start of a new life and a new path. It is not about being good and cleaning up before you ask God. God wants to you come as you are, a sinner. Jesus came to take the punishment of sinners, not the self righteous.
You think you are a good person? Maybe by a human standard – but not God's standard! And it is God's standard that counts!
Ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins by His atonement on the cross and the shedding of His blood and invite Him into your life. Ask Jesus to renew your mind over time.
This video illustrates the true Gospel of Jesus Christ as it is shown in the Bible when read with proper context and uses the original Greek text. You may find this vastly opposed to what is being taught in modern day 'Christian Church Religions and denominations' who are teaching the very false Gospel Paul said in Galatians should be accursed. When Jesus told us of the End Times and what would happen, this was one of the signs that He was about to Return. Do not take my word for it. Read the articles on this website regarding Salvation, but then go and read the same books of the Bible and see for yourself that this is the true Gospel. That is the problem today; church organization members are not checking the Bible to make sure what is preached is actually what the Bible teaches. Check it for yourself: Salvation is NOT of good works in any way.

Relax and De-Stress With This Restorative Yoga Flow
By: Karen Sehgal
All four poses that I am going to share with you today are restorative yoga poses, or poses that move our nervous system from fight-or-flight to rest-and-reset. Designed to sooth the body into a healing state called the relaxation response, this restorative yoga flow is about cultivating space, ease and a feeling of contentment in the body, mind and spirit.
Restoring balance and wholeness to the body, including strength and flexibility
Relieve, release, and help repair tissues in the body, including muscles, connective tissues, and joints
Helps balance our body's main systems, such as respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic, nervous, and endocrine systems
Promotes the relaxation response, helping us to feel calm and relaxed
Creates an ocean of stillness in the mind, body, and spirit
Restorative yoga poses are practiced with little or no effort, and remind us to enjoy the journey of this moment, which is perfect as it is. The tissues in your body will begin to trust and soften after 3 to 5 minutes, and the nervous system will respond to longer holds in comfortable stillness.
You Will Need:
1 rectangular bolster, 2 yoga blocks and 1 blanket
These props were made for your comfort and ease. You can find them on Amazon under yoga props, but they can also be replaced by household items. Thee bolster can be replaced by a firm pillow the length on your spine and width of at least 18 inches (couch pillow works well), and the blocks can be replaced by books.
Be patient, playful and creative, and remember that this restorative yoga flow is supposed to feel good. If you are not comfortable, change something. But most importantly, keep trying—it's worth it.
*If you may have any physical issues, please consult with your physician before starting a new exercise regimen.
Pose 1: Viparita Karani - If you only do one pose, do this one!
Props needed: blanket (optional)
Lie on the floor with your spine perpendicular to a wall. Place your sit bones a few inches from the wall with knees hugged into chest. Slowly straighten your legs up the wall. If you're uncomfortable, adjust the distance between your sit bones and the wall; the farther you are from the wall, the easier this stretch will become. If you need more comfort, put a folded blanket under your head. Once you are comfortable, stay in this pose for 5-20 min.
Getting out: Slowly bend your knees into your chest and pause. Roll onto your right side and pause. Sit up and pause. Getting out slowly ensures you don't shock your body back into-fight-or flight.
Note: 20 minutes in a restorative pose is said to be equivalent to about 4 hours of deep sleep. Consider setting a timer so you can let go.
Pose 2: Supta Baddha Konasana
Props needed: bolster, blanket and 2 blocks.
Sit on the floor with the bolster behind you and in line with your spine. Lay your whole spine onto the bolster with the blanket tri-folded under your head (not neck). Bend your knees, put the soles of your feet together and drop your knees open to the side like butterfly wings. Place one block under each thigh. Adjust the props until comfortable and stay in this pose for 5-10 min.
Getting out: Use your hands to bring your knees together. Slowly roll onto your right side off the bolster, and pause. Use your hands to press up to a comfortable seat and pause.
Pose 3: Upavista Konasana/seated wide angle
Props needed: bolster
Sit on the floor with your legs wide open in a V shape with the bolster in front of you. If you cannot sit tall with a straight spine, place a folded blanket under your bottom. Gently fold your torso forward at the hips until you can rest completely on the bolster. If your body does not rest comfortably on the bolster, place an extra pillow or more folded blankets on top of the bolster. Stay in pose 3-5 minutes.
Getting out: Slowly roll up while keeping your head down. Once you are comfortably sitting back up, you can look up and bring your legs back to the center.
Pose 4: Salamba Savasana/ supported final rest
Props needed: bolster, blanket
Lie flat on your back with the blanket folded under your head (not neck). Place the bolster horizontally under your knees. The back of your heels should be resting on the floor. Open your arms wide in a V shape, with palms facing up to the sky. For extra comfort, consider an eye pillow over your eyes. Stay in this pose for 5-10 minutes, or longer. Rest, relax and enjoy!
Getting out: It's important to always get out of these poses as slowly and as mindfully as you got into them. Roll onto your right side and hug your knees into your chest and pause. Keep your eyes closed and stay relaxed for a few seconds. Then, use your hands to press yourself up to a comfortable seat and pause. Take notice of how you feel and thank yourself for your efforts to increase the quality of your life.

Day 3 is soon to an end. Today we went to Shibuya, the young and hip Tokyo, home of the vibrant Japanese pop culture. We came just in time for the seven day super sales at the major department store Shibuya 109.
Most of the stores have some kind of Twitter or Facebook thing going by the cash register. After a couple of hours of fun shopping, we picked up some sodas outside. The vending machine accepted payment using the RFID-based Suica-card.
… and of course, Shibuya is the place to go to if you are looking for that young, blinged phone.

The new bus rapid-transit line along Cedar Avenue helped Minnesota Valley Transit Authority ridership reach a record level in 2013, the transit agency said this week.
MVTA ridership last year was 2,706,416, which topped the previous ridership high in 2008 by about 67,500. It also was 160,000 higher than in 2012.
The METRO Red Line bus rapid-transit service, which began in late June, accounted for 130,733 rides in 2013.
"The addition of the METRO Red Line service has been a shot in the arm for both MVTA and the Twin Cities region," said Beverley Miller, executive director of the MVTA, which serves Apple Valley, Burnsville, Eagan, Rosemount and Savage.
MVTA contracts with the Metropolitan Council to provide the Red Line service, which runs from Apple Valley to Eagan's Cedar Grove transit station and to the Mall of America mostly in bus-only lanes. It has frequent trips and limited stops.
MVTA's weekday and weekend ridership reached record levels last year, while Route 475 (Apple Valley and the Cedar Grove transit station to the University of Minnesota) ridership increased by 79 percent from 2012.
The top three MVTA routes in 2013 based on ridership were:
— Route 460 (Burnsville express to and from downtown Minneapolis), at 458,416.
— Route 477 (Apple Valley express to and from downtown Minneapolis), at 370,527.
— Route 444 (Savage/Burnsville/Cedar Grove/Mall of America), at 264,811.
Robin Selvig, MVTA spokeswoman, said the agency plans to add peak-period trips from the Rosemount transit station to downtown Minneapolis this year and make improvements to Route 445, which operates throughout Eagan.
"We are working with a consultant to see what those improvements will be," she said. "How can we improve safety? And are there areas that have been developed, particularly on the north side of Yankee Doodle Road, that we should consider serving?"
Also this year, Route 440, which runs from Apple Valley to the Cedar Grove transit station, will become a route with designated stops, Selvig said.
MVTA plans to use federal grant money for additional express service trips from the Rosemount station to downtown Minneapolis this year and hopes to begin offering express service from Rosemount to downtown St. Paul in 2015, Selvig said.
Meanwhile, Dakota County hopes to finalize a design this year for a center median bus rapid-transit-line stop on Cedar Avenue in Eagan that would shave several minutes off the current stop at the Cedar Grove transit station.
A 300-foot climate-controlled walkway over Cedar Avenue would connect the new stop to the transit station.

Bulker Halts Traffic in Elbe River
A Capesize bulk carrier blocked vessel traffic in the Elbe River, Germany, after it suffered an engine damage in the morning hours of January 17, 2017, Waterways and Shipping Office Hamburg (Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsamt) informed.
The 180,100 dwt Cape Leonidas restricted the traffic to and from Hamburg, according to local media.
Several tugs assisted the vessel, bringing it to deep waters to prevent grounding.
The 2010-build bulker is now moored at the Port of Hamburg, according to the ship's AIS data.
The ship departed Narvik in Norway on January 12, 2017, and was en route to Hamburg, local media reported.
The 292-meter long Cape Leonidas is owned by Greek shipping company Alma Maritime, VesselsValue's data shows.

FarmVille Wishing Well: Everything you need to know
Note: If you'd rather NOT wait for the Wishing Well to come to you over time, you can follow a few steps to "force" the game to give you one. Simply claim a penny from a news feed post from your friends that DO have the Wishing Well. Go into your Gift Box and attempt to use the Lucky Penny. You will be shown the store, with a store preview of the Wishing Well. Click on the "Preview" button and click "Buy." You will be forced to pay 5,000 coins to have the Wishing Well through this method, but at least you won't have to wait for it to come to your game.
Last week, we brought you a sneak peek of a then unreleased Wishing Well in FarmVille, that would apparently be part of the game's St. Patrick's Day celebration for this year. Well, the item is unreleased no more, as some lucky farmers are now receiving the Wishing Well on their farms. As with all major features, the Wishing Well update is on a slow rollout to users - if you don't see anything concerning this new feature in your own game, be patient as it will come to you eventually.
For those that are lucky enough to receive the Wishing Well, however, you'll be prompted to place your free building via an in-game pop-up. From there, you'll be introduced to what makes this feature different, as it combines an over item-collection feature in the form of collecting Lucky Pennies with four smaller collections of mostly St. Patrick's Day themed items. Redeeming these items will reward you with four prizes.
Once you place the Wishing Well on your farm, you'll need to start collecting Lucky Pennies (Zynga is nice enough to give you a free throw either way). Lucky Pennies can be collected via asking for them from friends, or you can purchase them in bulk - 5 Lucky Pennies for 4 Farm Cash. Gathering them from friends is a two-fold process. When you first place your Wishing Well, you can post a general request for a Lucky Penny on your wall (which then goes to your friends' news feeds). When a friend clicks on the request and gives you a Lucky Penny, they will receive one for themselves as well.
Otherwise, you can click on the "Ask for Pennies" button inside the Wishing Well (only appears when you have no pennies in your inventory), and then send individual gift requests to your friends, asking them to send you a penny.
When collecting pennies through such wall posts, you'll also sometimes randomly "stumble upon" extra pennies that you can share to your news feed as well. Once you have at least one Lucky Penny, you can throw it into your Wishing Well for the chance to receive one of six collection items.
You'll see the your current collection objective at the bottom of the Wishing Well's menu. You'll start on the Level 1 Collection, and by completing it, will move onto Level 2, 3, and 4. You must complete the previous collection before unlocking the next, and each collection has six different items to gather. Again, for each Penny you throw into the Wishing Well, you have a chance of receiving one of the six items needed for your current collection.
Level I is called the St. Patrick's Collection, and it has you collecting the following items:
Four Leaf Clover
Leprechaun Hat
Pint Glass
Lucky Horseshoe
Celtic Knot
The prize is a Leprechaun Gnome, an item that was available last year in the game's St. Patrick's Day event (via the Pot of Gold).
Level II is called the Irish Flower Collection, and it has you collecting various themed flowers:
Wild Thyme
Irish Eyebright
Bog Asphodel
Golden Samphire
St. Dabeoc's Health
The prize for Level II is a Clover Rabbit - a lovely green rabbit with a clover pattern on its side.
Level III is called the Irish Food Collection. Here's what you'll need to gather:
Irish Stew
Belfast Bap
Ulster Fry
Soda Bread
The prizes start to get really good now, as you'll receive a free Irish Cottage building for completing this collection.
Finally, Level IV is the Irish Landmark Collection. Here are the items within:
Gap of Dunloe
Giant's Causeway
Ross Castle
Blarney Stone
St. Patrick's Cathedral
The final prize for this event (currently) is the Dexter Cow, which will assumedly give off a Dexter Cow if placed inside a Dairy Barn with a Bull.
And there you have it - The first of what appears to be three buildings that will be released in FarmVille as part of this year's St. Patrick's Day event. Will this year's Pot of Gold or Tree House items interact with the Wishing Well, or will this be an entirely solo feature? We'll be sure to let you know as we know more in the coming days and weeks.
Check out the rest of our FarmVille Cheats & Tips right here or check out our St. Patrick's Day coverage here.
Have you received a Wishing Well on your farm yet? What do you think of the prizes? Add comment.

So, you are thinking of investing in real estate instead of the stock market? Decisions, decisions! How do you make the decision? Well, maybe I can help.
Historically real estate typically appreciates 3 to 5 percent a year. I know real estate a few years ago was appreciating 24% a year but that was not a normal market and could not continue. Buyers were over reaching just trying to get into the market before they were priced out and taking on loans they figured they could refinance out of in a few years. Well, we all know what happened next. The real estate market declined and declined by about 40 percent sometimes even more.
So, here in todays market we have VERY affordable prices for entry level homes, which make great rental properties. You want to try to find a home that is your typical three bedroom or more two bath home in a nice neighborhood at an affordable price. No swimming pool, because tenants typically don't know how or won't take care of a swimming pool.
When investing in rental property, you need to have a 20 percent down payment, unless you purchase a HomePath property or a HUD property then you only need a 10 percent down payment. You can determine if a property "pencils out" as they say, by making some simple calculations.
Take your annual anticipated cash flow from the rental property, deduct your mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, an eight percent management fee if you are going to have a property manager and a five percent vacancy factor if the property is vacant for a month or for repairs and this figure is called your "cash on cash" return or net spendable income. To figure cash on cash as a percentile, divide your annual cashflow by the down payment amount. If this percentage is greater than your return in the stock market then investment property may be right for you.
You may think well, "I can manage the property myself and save the 8% the management company would charge me." Don't do it, especially if this is your first rental property. I would highly recommend spending the 8 percent management fee to have a management company handle the property for you. Their services are invaluable. They run credit checks on the tenant, collect the rents and then forward them to you. They take care of any maintenance issues. Who wants to get the call in the middle of the night that there is a backed up toilet? Let the management company handle it for you, it's a small price to pay.
Hopefully, you will take that next step after homeownership and invest in real estate. It is a great long term investment for your retirement and it really can make you wealthy.
