Frequently Asked Questions
What Do Medical Grade Peels Do?
Medical Grade Peels exfoliate the top layer of skin, causing the natural cell turnover process to speed up. They refresh the skin by removing discolored skin cells and work wonders on acne-prone skin. Oil production is minimized, pores are unplugged and blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads shrink in size. Chemical peels can be a little more intense than micro-dermabrasion depending upon the percentage of acid used.
What Are the Benefits of Advanced Medical Grade Peels?
- Alpha hydroxy acids (Glycolic, Lactic) provide increased cell turnover providing superficial anti-aging improvements like a clear complexion. Chemical peels deep clean the skin and pores, and superficially exfoliate the surface.
- Beta Hydroxy acids (Salicylic acid, Resorcinol, Malic acid) penetrate deeper into the skin for more visible, immediate results such as deeper exfoliation, blocking bacterial growth, blocking pigmentation and increasing collagen production. Beta hydroxy acid peels are good for oily skin, acne, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles. Always use sunscreen with a high SPF after a beta hydroxy peel, since it increases sun sensitivity.
- Beta Hydroxy: Salicylic acid peels which are similar to low-strength alpha hydroxy acid peels, are best for fighting blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. If your skin is dry or normal, a salicylic acid peel, which is the main type of beta hydroxy acid peel, may be too harsh for you.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Salicylic or Glycolic peel can be mildly uncomfortable. Mostly a slight burning or tingling sensation. It feels like a light sunburn, but overall quite manageable. It is normal for skin to be red and peel for a few days after the treatment, as well as feeling a little dry and sensitive.

A 13-year-old is Indy's First Death Since 2003
Indy's last fatal incident was in 2003, when Tony Renna died in an IndyCar crash. That was until 13-year-old Peter Lenz died in a 125GP warm-up lap after he crashed and was hit by 12-year-old Xavier Zayat. Zayat was uninjured in the crash but Lenz was taken from the field in a neck brace and on a stretcher. Lenz was pronounced dead three hours later. He is the youngest competitor to die in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 101-year history. Lenz had been racing for six years, had won four Can-Am international titles and five national championships, and was one of the 12-to-18 125GP series' stars. When he was 11, Lenz was the youngest licensed Expert racer in AFM history. In 2009, Lenz crashed into a wall at Portland International Raceway and broke a leg (in three places) broke an arm and severed a radial nerve, ending his season as he led the USGPRU West Coast 125GP and 250GP series. Peter Lenz is survived by his parents and two sisters.
Cycle News Gone
The long-running motorcycle newspaper, Cycle News, closed its doors and laid off employees in late August. The venerable newspaper had a near 50-year history, but print journalism is experiencing a serious challenge from electronic media. The paper's website, CycleNews.com, is still operational and hopes to be a valued source of racing news.
Harley Continues in Wisconsin
Thanks to three new seven-year employee labor agreements from the United Steelworkers, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and the USW, Harley-Davidson Inc. (NYSE: HOG) announced that it would keep production operations in Wisconsin. Harley-Davidson produces engines and transmissions in Menomonee Falls and motorcycle components in Tomahawk, WI. The new contract allows H-D the use of "casual" employees who "work as required, depending on seasonal needs and to provide coverage for vacations and other absences." The contract included some improvements in benefits and pension contributions and reduction in employees at both facilities. The company expects substantial savings from the contract changes after taking some losses in the near term.
Bikers Ganging up in New Jersey
The infamous Pagans are trying to increase their territory in New Jersey. The Pagans are actively recruiting members and attracting police attention. Recently, the Hells Angels opened a small chapter in New Jersey that renewed their long-term feud with the Pagans in the area. The huge New York Angels' chapter is used for reinforcements for the smaller NJ branch, which increased tensions between the two gangs. While there has been some violence between the two gangs in neighboring Pennsylvania, no overt fighting has occurred in New Jersey. "A lot of the criminal activity they do is really well-hidden, whether it's drugs or weapons," said Thomas Garrity, chief of investigators for the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. "The main thing with biker groups is usually the problems they have among themselves. They don't usually go out and mess with what we'd call civilians."
Fast Times at Canterbury Park
On 9/11/2010, the oldest form of motorcycle racing returned to Canterbury Park for the first time in 13 years. In the Grand National Twins main event, Kenny Coolbeth rode his Harley-Davidson XR-750 to a solid win. Canterbury Park provided Coolbeth with his first win of the season, putting him 34 points behind series leader, Jake Johnson, with four races remaining in the 17-round series. Trailing Coolbeth was Jake Johnson in second on a Harley-Davidson, and Jared Mees in third, all on the classic HD XR-750. Joe Kopp, Ducati's standard-bearer, came in 16th and lost his series lead dropping 10 points behind Johnson.
Coolbeth started poorly, in 7th place, with Johnson, Jared Mees, Matt Weidman, and Chris Car in the lead. Coolbeth worked his way past Carr on the 4th lap, passed Mees four laps later and Weidman on the 11th lap. Three laps later, Coolbeth found a line past Johnson and opened up a 3.375 second lead over Johnson by the end of the race.
"This track was more like racing on a half-mile than a mile," said Coolbeth. "The draft did not really matter so much. So after Mees dropped back I just had to put my head down and ride through the bumps to catch Johnson and Weidman. When I caught them, they were sort of messing each other up, getting in each other's line. Weidman went high in turn two and hit the berm and I went by, and then I tangled with Jake for a few laps before I got away."
Chris Carr won the four-lap Dash for Cash bonus sprint. Jeffery Carver (Yamaha) won the AMA Pro Singles main, followed by Mike Martin and Brad Baker (Honda). That puts Carver 27 points ahead of (278 pts/5 wins) Brad Baker and 90 points ahead of Mike Avila in the AMA Pro Singles Championship race.
Fewer Bikers Died in 2009
NHTSA officials reported that motorcycling deaths dropped 16% in 2009 (4,462) compared to 2008 (5,312). The AMA says this statistic can "only be considered good news for motorcyclists." Other observers suspect that the number of active motorcyclists and motorcycle miles dropped substantially as the economy took its toll on vacationers and recreational riding. It's worth noting that deaths from auto crashes dropped 9.7% in the same period.
Drinking, Driving, and Wearing a Badge in Indianapolis
In August, an on-duty Indiana cop, David Bisard, rear-ended two stopped motorcycles, killing one rider and critically injuring two others. The officer was initially charged with seven felony charges, including driving under the influence and reckless homicide. The police didn't draw blood from Bisard for two hours after the crash and he still managed to test a .19 blood alcohol level, more than twice the state's .08 legal limit. Bisard has five other on-duty crashes on his record and a reputation among his neighbors of being a menace to mailboxes. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has demoted three "high ranking officers," including Lt. George Crooks, the commander of the department's hit-and-run unit and coordinator of the Fatal Alcohol Crash Team.
A local judge dropped the alcohol related charges claiming, "the proper procedures weren't followed." Bisard's lawyer is trying to get the trial moved out of Indianapolis, claiming his client can't get a fair trial in the city. During a review of internal policies, additional incidents involving police officers surfaced which has pulled the FBI into the inquiry. The Director of Public Safety has called for mandatory breathalyzers for all Indianapolis Metro police officers involved in crashes.

I have a 16 channel dvr pci capture card that is
used for surveillance. the app that came with it
(IDVR4000) is simply terrible. it crashes daily
and i have used 3 different operating systems
to see if it was something i was doing.
everytime its an "app crash". i'm done
messing with that software. i'm basically
asking if anyone knows of any software,
regardless of the price, that would be great for
motion detection and work with an internal cctv
dvr capture card. thanks.
Why are you creating a new post that omitted much of the info you posted HERE earlier?
i guess i did not think it was a complete copy. i appologize...
N/P. I have never heard of this system and I don't think there are software for this that works with Windows 7. If you really value good surveillance around the clock, consider buying what works with Windows 7.
ok this was my fault...i forgot to change the os to win xp.

With a passing cold front, the north wind howls across the waters of the lake across from our home. On those frigid days, I venture onto the dock to feel the wind on my face, look at the white-capped waves, and reminisce on other windy days.
I was sixteen working for my father on a three-story project where we were installing large, asbestos panels. Mounted on the roof was a swing arm hoist and pulley, and my job was to pull the panels, one at a time, up to the roof's edge. I was pulling the line attached to a panel when with a sudden gust of wind the panel soared, lifting me like the tail of a kite.
Not knowing where I and the panel might land, I didn't dare let go, and not knowing how far up I would fly, I didn't dare hang on. I did the only thing I could, I screamed for help. Eventually, after what seemed like hours dangling in the wind, a fellow worker pulled me to the ground.
Years later, my friend John Dozier and I decided to spend a winter day and night at the fishing club my dad belonged to. A cold front had passed and an arctic gale was roaring across the Gulf of Mexico. Too cold and windy to fish from a boat, we spent the afternoon casting our lines in the canal next to a nuclear energy plant. Late in the afternoon, we returned to the club, and after dinner, we played poker with an older member and his son. The cold wind whistled through the windows as if there was no glass in the panes. Sitting at the poker table away from the fire you would be chilled to the bone, however when close, the heat would leave you soaked with perspiration. To equalize the temperature, every other hand, like chickens on a rotisserie, we would move clockwise one seat. After making frequent trips for firewood and winning all the money, John and I called it quits and went to bed.
The next morning we ventured into the club's kitchen anticipating hot coffee and homemade biscuits swimming in cane syrup. Instead, we found an angry caretaker who refused to prepare breakfast until we replaced the firewood we had burned.
Vacationing at St. Augustine Beach, Terri and I decided to run on the beach, and with a breeze out of the North, we headed South. The longer we ran the more we wanted to run. Like the Greek god Mercury, we had wings on our feet—our legs felt like steel springs and breathing was easy. Foregoing turning at our usual spot, we decided to run another mile and then another.
When we changed course, we found the wind, now in our face, had increased to near gale force. In place of wings there were lead weights on our feet; instead of steel springs our legs were rubber bands and we grasped for breath. The hour run to the south, turned into a half-day trek north.
You cannot control the wind, sometimes at your back and other times in your face, it's going to blow. An unexpected gust can knock you off balance; it can bring bone chilling cold; from behind it propels you forward; when gusting in your face, it pushes you backwards.
In life, there will be turns of events beyond control. True leaders accept such and equip themselves to deal with unanticipated circumstances.

Coffee Meets Bagel Launches Redesigned Interface And Commenting Feature
- Thursday, December 20 2018 @ 09:09 am
- Contributed by: ElyseRomano
- Views: 459
In the increasingly crowded dating industry, the only way to stay relevant is to differentiate yourself from the competition. Coffee Meets Bagel initially set itself apart by focusing on quality over quantity, providing users a limited number of curated matches each day at noon. Last year the company introduced an ephemeral video feature and an ongoing series of real-world events called CMB Experiences.
Coffee Meets Bagel's latest updates come in response to an extensive user study conducted earlier this year. The app's interface now boasts a cleaner, more modern aesthetic and a new comment feature has been added to help members make more efficient use of their time.
Co-CEO and cofounder Dawoon Kang told VentureBeat in a phone interview that users in the study repeatedly expressed frustration at matching with someone in the app only to have their messages go unanswered or the conversation fizzle quickly.
"For them — the biggest fear and biggest frustration was that it's a waste of time," Kang said. "People are tired of spending time on something that gets them nothing."
The new comment feature allows a user to send a message to a potential match before liking their profile. The message should be specific to that person's profile, like "I also love Peruvian food" or "I'm obsessed with chihuahuas, too. I have three!" Coffee Meets Bagel hopes this feature will address the issue of wasted time by giving users more opportunity to assess compatibility before becoming invested in a match. Kang said the commenting feature led to a 60 percent increase in total messages exchanged during testing earlier this year.
Coffee Meets Bagel has also gotten a makeover. The company's redesigned logo replaces the coffee and bagel icons of previous logos with the letters C and B interlinked to form a heart. The app's bright blue and orange color scheme has been swapped for a softer purple shade, and the "pass" and "connect" buttons have been replaced with heart, chat, and x icons. Profiles now showcase more text and larger images.
"One piece of feedback we gathered is sometimes we get in the way [of matches]," Kang explained. "The bright blue could feel a little distracting, and the profile design was too cluttered."
The app's newly adopted minimalist vibe can also be found in its Discover and Suggested sections, which have been revamped to offer seamless scrolling and better navigation, respectively. Both sections are less cluttered than in previous iterations of the app.
As part of this rebrand it looks like Coffee Meets Bagel also has launched a dating website, before this CMB only their service through Android and iOS apps. Users can log into the new site using their Facebook account. From there they can create a profile and communicate with matches. Most of the features of the apps seem to be available on the new dating website.
Kang said Coffee Meets Bagel will be adding new features in 2019 to continue its mission of encouraging authentic and inspiring connections.

At one point, six boats and more than 30 divers were pulling milfoil off the bottom of Skaneateles Lake during the summer months.
(Courtesy of Robert Werner)
The battle to stop the runaway spread of milfoil on Skaneateles Lake has been won, said the man who helped lead the charge the past seven years.
"We're now in the maintenance phase," said Robert Werner, a retired SUNY ESF professor whose home sits on the western shore of the lake in Mandana.
The successful efforts of Werner and others, under the sponsorship of the Skaneateles Lake Association and costing nearly $2 million, was no small accomplishment. Efforts to control the invasive aquatic plant's spread in neighboring lakes - Cazenovia, Otisco, Cayuga, and Owasco - have not been as complete.
The secret?
"We got to it early," said Werner, who taught limnology (the study of lakes) and ichthyology (the study of fish) at SUNY ESF.
Werner's contributions haven't gone unnoticed. Next month, he's being honored as "Citizen of the Year" by the Skaneateles Chamber of Commerce at its annual dinner. He's quick to voice praise about the others involved.
"The truth is, here's a lot of people who made this happen," he said, specifically mentioning Larry Rothenberg, of Skaneateles, who played a key role in the original organization efforts and researching methods to use, and John Menapace, also of Skaneateles, who was hired by the association to carry the plans out.
Werner explained milfoil is a scourge on any waterway. It tends to take over where it grows, choking out other vegetation, reducing the oxygen level in water around it and creating troublesome weed mats on the surface for recreational boaters and swimmers alike. It can grow up to 20 feet high in the water.
In addition, when it dies each fall great quantities are washed to the shoreline "resulting in a smelly mess," he said.
Werner said milfoil in Skaneateles Lake, which is the water supply for the city of Syracuse and various other communities, was first noted in a 1974 research paper about the lake. At that time, only small, harmless patches were described.
In 2001, Werner said he rode around the lake with Rich Abbott, a former student of his and employee with the city of Syracuse Water Department, and eye-balled nearly 40 patches near shore, noting them on the boat's GPS device. They repeated the exercise in 2006.
"The number had increased threefold to 111. It was a dramatic explosion. I raised the warning flag and the village and town of Skaneateles took notice. An aquatic invasive committee was formed in 2007," he said.
Werner and Rothenberg worked together to form a non-profit group, the Milfoil Eradication Corp., which soon was taken under the umbrella of the Skaneateles Lake Association.
The milfoil group was eventually able to obtain a $100,000 grant from the state Department of Environmental Conservation, along with a $30,000 contribution from the town of Skaneateles and $70,000 from Onondaga County. "The rest was from private contributions and fund-raisers," he said.
Milfoil has been attacked in various ways in other lakes. Weed harvester machines have been used on Otisco and Owasco lakes, a Cornell University-inspired effort made use of a milfoil-eating aquatic insect on Cayuga Lake and most recently, a strong herbicide has been used in Cazenovia Lake.
All those options were dismissed for Skaneateles Lake, particularly herbicide use. "There's no way they'd let us put herbicide in a water supply," Werner said.
Rothenberg approached John Menapace, a local contractor who has a wooden boat restoration shop, to look into what other lakes were doing to control milfoil. He said he quickly dismissed use of a weed harvester.
"It's like mowing weeds on your lawn. They just come back bigger, better and faster. You've got to get every bit of this stuff out. Any part of the plant can reproduce," he said.
Settling on the approach of using divers to pull the weeds out, Menapace secured a pontoon boat, bought two suction pumps from a California company, and began experimenting with having the weeds pulled by divers and suctioned up into the boat.
Because of the amount of time the divers were down, he used a "hose diving" approach with oxygen being pumped down by a compressor, rather than regular scuba tanks on the divers.
Eventually, Menapace secured a total of six boats and one summer had more than 30 divers underneath him. The pulled milfoil was placed in large, 40-pound onion bags, taken to shore and dumped away from the lake. "At one point, we were taking out 100 bags a day," he said.
Menapace said Rothenberg then approached him about using weighted mats to cover the milfoil-infested areas. After some experimentation, Menapace purchased polyester fabric and cut it into to pieces measuring 80 feet long and 12 feet wide. He designed a special, 14-foot-wide sewing machine to sew in pockets in the fabric every six feet. Steel cable was inserted to keep the fabric on the lake's bottom.
That method proved successful and it's been the primary form of attack for the past three summers. It's been so effective that this year, only four workers were needed to make it happen.
Using a new computer technology attached to a sonar with a GPS unit, Werner said it's been determined the amount of milfoil now on Skaneateles Lake has been reduced to "four or five patches" of more than 1,000 square feet each.
Werner smiled when asked if all the milfoil removal has affected the fishing.
"What has been taken out has been replaced by curly leaf pondweed, another aquatic plant, which doesn't occupy as much space. There's room for big and small fish. Milfoil weed beds aren't what they're cracked up to be as far as being fish havens," he said.
The cost of keeping the effort going, Werner said, is currently being covered through donations from Lake Association members. The Association has more than 500 members. Rothenberg, left the area two years ago, moving out to Boulder, Colo, Werner said.
Menapace said the effort's success boiled down to three things: the clarity of the lake (which made working on its bottom easier), the generosity of the private donors and attacking the problem early on.
"A lot of guys said we were nuts, that we wouldn't be able to do this," he said. "We told them 'Yes, we can.' "

I am always open to makeup tips and tricks. It can be intimidating to experiment with new colors so I turn to the experts. I LOVE the ladies at the Clinique counter in Macy's at Easton. They never steer me wrong. Last week I stopped in while they were celebrating Happy and got a fabulous makeover. Clinique teamed up with the Food Network and created a cookie recipe (it is delicious) and they were giving them away along with cute holiday cookie cutters.
Clinique has a great new foundation out that color corrects called Even Better Glow ( I am wearing Ivory). It is a fabulous foundation that covers well plus has an spf of 15. Before she applied the foundation she mixed Repairwear Laser Focus serum, this serum makes your skin feel amazing! For eyes she used a combination of shadows including Sugar Cane, Raspberry Beret, Chocolate Covered Cherry, and Grape Pop. Lined with Violet and with Chubby Mascara. On my lips I have the Chubby Stick in Graped UP with First Date lip gloss over top. For the blush I am wearing Sunset Glow. And after I wash it all off at night Turnaround Overnight cream and Repairwear Laser Focus eye cream.
If you are wanting a new look then go see the ladies at the Clinique counter in Macy's at Easton. Dacia is amazing, tell her Ellen from That Chic Mom sent you! Thanks ladies for the amazing makeover, I love my new look!

The 4-Month Sleep Regression is brutal, but with a little bit of knowledge under your belt, you can help your baby through it.
Baby sleep over the first year is full of ups and downs. There are many factors that disturb an infant's sleep process, such as teething, gas, or overstimulation, and therefore sleep troubles can arise unpredictably. However, there are also several predictable regressions that most babies experience. On the whole, these regressions pass and an exhausted mom needs just to push through. This is not so with the 4-Month Sleep Regression. This regression is in a completely different category than the others and the bad news is, it can't be simply waited out. The good news is, there are a few simple things a mom can do to help her baby sleep well again.
READ MORE: Nanny Shares Her Secret To Getting Babies On A Sleep Schedule (Without The Tears)
The first thing that you need to know about the 4-Month Sleep Regression is, well, it's not really a regression. Some call it a "progression" instead, to help identify it as different than a mere hiccup in a baby's sleep journey.
You see, when a baby is born, he doesn't experience sleep cycles like adults do. Adults cycle in and out of deep and light sleep repeatedly throughout the night. An infant simply falls immediately into deep sleep and stays there until he's awoken by a need, frequently hunger. That's why it seems they can sleep through anything.
Around 3.5-4.5 months, an infant develops mature sleep cycles like adults. He begins to cycle through deep and light sleep, and when he enters into light sleep, he wakes up and cries. A full sleep cycle lasts 35-50 minutes, and some babies will wake in a panic at every cycle. Often naps will end after one cycle and babies will wake up more often throughout the night, not necessarily needing a feed.
READ MORE: This Doctor's Advice Works Like Magic To Get Newborns To Sleep
Since the 4-Month Sleep Regression is actually a change in how sleep operates, it doesn't go away on its own. The development of sleep cycles is permanent. Parents need to be proactive in helping their baby learn to sleep at this point, but there are many styles to choose from. Some parents will want to work on getting their child to bed wide awake, as opposed to drowsy or already asleep, so they wake up in the same place that they fell asleep and therefore won't be frightened. Others may choose to use methods other than nursing or bottle feeding at night wakings, so baby's metabolism doesn't adjust to many feeds per night. Parents who are comfortable with sleep training might use training methods like fading, controlled crying, or pick up/put down.
There are a variety of approaches to pick from. The main thing parents should be aware of, is that after this regression, they are teaching their baby something about sleep with their responses, whether they intend to or not.

Marie-Chantal's Morning Routine:
Curious to know what Marie-Chantal's morning routine is?
My morning routine is a simple one and I've kept it the same forever. My morning skincare routine begins with a polish, wash and moisturizer; and in the evenings I alternate between a vitamin C and a glycolic serum. When my skin really needs it, I apply a face mask or will go for a cleansing facial. Every few months I rotate my products out for new ones I discover, but always return back to my absolute favorites. It's important to mix things up every once in a while, as the body has a funny way of getting used to routines. I'll do the same for my hair, especially in the winter months and also with exercise… believe it or not, for my diet as well.
I am a big fan of Soul Cycle and like to make time for at least two classes a week. I also started doing pilates a few years back and will alternate between a couple of sessions one week and Soul Cycle for the other. Every now and again, I like to throw in barre work, as I find it great for toning the legs and core. If my schedule allows, I love to walk through Central Park whenever I can and sometimes, but rarely I'll go for a run.
I normally wake up around 6:00 am, as I've always been an early bird and love to wake up with the sun. I really enjoy having breakfast with my kids before they head off to school. I've gotten in the routine of having a hot cup of water with lemon juice and a mixture of the juices below (continue reading for recipes). It depends on how I feel, but I often go more towards a vegetable juice. I'm not a fan of fruit-based juices, as I find that they are very high in sugar, but sometimes I'll add one apple. My daughter Olympia, recently introduced me to raw celery juice every day. Which took some getting used to, but now I look forward to it. I just love my coffee, but with no dairy. Instead I prefer either Oat milk (my new favorite) or Almond milk.
My star sign is Virgo, so if you know about star signs, Virgo's tend to love all things health, food and organization related. The diet I am most comfortable with is the Paleo Diet and sometimes the Keto Diet. The Paleo Diet is a high protein, vegetable and low healthy carbohydrate diet. It focuses on protein and vegetables, healthy little starches and a few fruits but not too many. The Keto Diet is a high protein, healthy fat diet with some added vegetables. The theory behind the Keto diet is that it changes the way the body converts food into energy. Eating high amounts of proteins and fats puts you into Ketosis, where your body breaks down fat and converts it into energy and fuel. It reduces inflammation and really does create weight loss. Once at a stable weight more vegetables and fruit are added in.
Another new obsession of mine is bone broth (and again, it's my daughter Olympia who got me onto this new craze.) It's meant to be a great health benefit, as its full of natural collagen which is fantastic for your skin. I alternate between chicken and beef bone broth to keep things interesting. I've added the recipe I do at home below…. it's delicious.
I really believe that you have to find what works for you and try to make it fun and healthy. Listen to your body as it will tell you how it feels and what you need. From your skin to your hair and body, find a routine that works for you. I was able to figure out quite early that sugars and too many carbs make me feel puffy, sluggish and not great. However, that doesn't mean that I won't help myself to a yummy bowl of pasta or pizza every now and again.

House Democrats' Backhanded Compliment to Attorney General Barr
House Democrats on the Judiciary Committee are in an uproar because Attorney General William Barr has objected to answering questions from staff lawyers. But the Attorney General is on good ground. The Executive, after all, is a separate and equal branch of the federal government.
The Attorney General volunteered to appear and testify—as he did before the Senate Judiciary Committee. But House Judiciary Committee Chairman Nadler insisted on a format that involved questioning by non-members. He upped the ante last week telling reporters that Mr. Barr seemed to be "very afraid" of sustained questioning by staff. But "very afraid" is not the description that comes to mind when one views the Attorney General's six hours of testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
That smear, moreover, is altogether ironic given that 18 Democrats who sit on the House Judiciary Committee are themselves lawyers—from places like Harvard, Michigan, New York University, and Georgetown. And of course Chairman Nader also boasts a JD at the end of his name. Presumably the juris doctorate initials are one reason for these representatives' assignment to the judiciary committee. And it's a bit embarrassing to think that none of the lawyers on the Judiciary Committee feel comfortable questioning Mr. Barr.
By way of background, the Constitution does not itself provide Congress with the power to investigate or issue subpoenas. Instead, the Supreme Court has long held that Congress possesses both powers pursuant to the Necessary and Proper Clause. In 1927, for example, the Court held that "the power of inquiry — with process to enforce it — is an essential and appropriate auxiliary to the legislative function." In other words, Congress's power to investigate and compel testimony must be in pursuit of a legitimate legislative purpose.
But this investigatory authority is not without limits. A witness may not be compelled to give incriminating testimony in violation of the Fifth Amendment. Further, a witness's First Amendment interests must be balanced against Congress's need for the requested information. And the Supreme Court has held that the Due Process Clause applies to congressional efforts to enforce a subpoena criminally.
Constitutional protections against congressional subpoenas do not apply only to individuals. The courts have recognized that the Executive Branch also has rights vis-à-vis congressional investigations, most notably the defense of Executive Privilege.
The assertion of Executive Privilege in response to a congressional request has a long and storied history. In March of 1796, for example, the House of Representatives requested that President George Washington disclose documents and correspondence relating to the negotiation of the Jay Treaty with Great Britain. President Washington refused, noting that while the papers had all been provided to the Senate, the House had no legitimate claim to them: "To admit, then, a right in the House of Representatives to demand, and to have, as a matter of course, all the papers respecting a negotiation with a foreign Power, would be to establish a dangerous precedent."
Further, whereas Congress has broad legislative latitude when it seeks to compel testimony from individuals, the federal courts have set a high bar for congressional needs to override executive branch confidentiality concerns, at least where presidential communications are involved. The D.C. Circuit, for example, refused to order disclosure of the Nixon tapes to Congress (despite the Supreme Court's determination that the tapes must be disclosed to a grand jury) because the committee could not meet the requirement that "the subpoenaed evidence is demonstrably critical to the responsible fulfillment of the Committee's functions."
Moreover, the D.C. Circuit has directed the branches make a good faith effort to work things out in the course of congressional investigations. Thus, when faced with a dispute "each branch should take cognizance of an implicit constitutional mandate to seek optimal accommodation through a realistic evaluation of the needs of the conflicting branches in the particular fact situation."
It is hard to see how the House Judiciary Committee "needs" a staff lawyer to question the Attorney General when so many Democratic members are themselves lawyers. At the end of the day, the House's insistence that someone else question the Attorney General may best be described as a backhanded compliment to Mr. Barr.

Pills? Therapy? I'm a veteran of both.
I take medication in the morning and in the evening. I go to therapy every week, and at certain points in my life, I've been in therapy three times a week (every day, if you count inpatient hospitalization.)
In the past, I've tried over fifteen psychotropics. I have an enormous box full of half-empty pill bottles from abandoned medications that I need to take to a proper medication disposal site. I've gone through so many therapists that I laugh when I start somewhere and need to fill out that little chart that states whom I've seen and for what period of time, because there are never enough rows, and my memory is not that good.
Medications and therapy work for me. I have a good medication regimen right now — the lowest number of medications I've had to take in a decade — and I adore my therapist for the first time in my therapy-seeking life. I have plenty of friends who take medication, see a therapist, or both.
And yet I often hear something from them that rang true for myself at times, as well: "I don't know what else to do. I'm taking the medications. I'm going to therapy. I still feel like shit."
The question they seem to be asking is, Where is the in-between? Where are the things that I can do for myself when I'm not in the therapist's office for fifty minutes out of the entire 10,080 minutes that comprise my week? (For those of you doing the math, that's .49% of the week, which rounds up to half of 1% of the week that a typical therapy-going person is actually in therapy.) What happens when I leave the therapist's office, and I feel like there was some good information, but I forget everything by the time I get home? What do I do even after I take the pills like a good patient does?
I go on walks. I try to eat well and not drink (alcohol) much, or at all. I meditate.
But I also really trust in — and consider this a part of my health-care regimen, as well — the power of writing things down. People ask me why I'm teaching a restorative journaling class, and I've been thinking a lot about that: the why. I'm going to be talking about this more in the weeks to come.

BHRT stands for BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy. Through this treatment, the body is provided enough hormonal agents to make up for the absence of natural hormonal agents. Artificial hormonal agents are animal-derived hormonal agent items. They can be found in a 'one-size-for-all' dosage.
Our hormonal agents preserve the chemical balance in the body. The menstruation in ladies activates the production of some essential hormonal agents like estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. When the ovaries stop operating, whether due to age (menopause) or due to surgical elimination, there is a cessation in the production of these important hormonal agents. Accompanying physiological modifications consist of osteoporosis, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, sleeping disorders, irregular durations, loss of sex drive, and perhaps cancer. In ladies who have actually had their ovaries got rid of surgically, these modifications are extreme and they experience an unexpected drop in sex hormonal agent levels. This can cause extreme illness, particularly in more youthful females. The aging procedure is hard on guys either. They begin to lose energy, vitality, and endurance.
Artificial Hormonal agent Replacement Treatment is connected with a variety of possible negative effects and dangers, that include:
– Increased danger of Gallbladder illness
– Increased threat of ovarian cancer
– Increased threat of breast cancer
– Increased danger of endometrial cancer
– Breast discomfort
– Queasiness and fluid retention
– Increased bad moods
Exactly what is BHRT?
Due to those dangers, artificial HRT is now being changed by Natural Hormonal agent Replacement Treatment (NHRT) or 'bio-identical treatment.' The term 'bio-identical' indicates the hormonal agent utilized is structurally and chemically similar to the hormonal agent produced by the body. That is why it is called 'natural,' instead of the artificial hormonal agent, which has a structure comparable however not similar to the hormonal agent produced by the body. Bio-identical hormonal agents are produced from particles of yam or soy, and go through a series of chemical procedures to make them just like human hormonal agents. The side impacts and dangers are significantly lowered while utilizing BHRT.
In ladies, changing the lost hormonal agents can safeguard their cardiovascular health, avoid psychological decrease, and alleviate menopausal signs. It assists to prevent loss of bone mass and event of colon cancer, and might even postpone the start of Alzheimer's illness. Guy experience a boost in state of mind, vitality, sexual function and muscle mass. Hormonal agent replacement is effective and need to be kept track of by a skilled professional.
Absolutely nothing can change exactly what our bodies have actually been making naturally for several years. BHRT comes as close to the genuine thing as possible. It is not a wonder treatment. And frequently you need to go through some quantity of experimentation such as dose changes prior to you restore the hormone balance. The majority of the time, it will take in between 3-6 months to see the outcomes of treatment. Given that the adverse effects are practically minimal and the advantages are big, BHRTs are ending up being a popular option amongst males and females today.
A few of these natural hormonal agents are offered in trademark name items. It is much easier to acquire these hormonal agents from intensifying drug stores. Drug stores can provide the bio-identical hormonal agents alone or integrate them into a single dosage. They can likewise provide these in the preferred type whether it is a tablet, cream, or oil cap. In this way, you can embellish these hormonal agents to fit your distinct requirements. Often times a doctor who is not inclined to recommending BHRTs might not be open to recommending them to you. Because case, these pharmacists likewise have physician recommendation info.

Compare and Contrast the Presentation of Childhood Memories in 'Half Past Two', 'Piano' and 'My Parents Kept Me from Children Who Were Rough' Focusing on the Poet's Use of Language, Form and Structure.'
The poems are different based on theme as piano has a theme of music taking on a memory. Half past two has a theme of life before not being able to tell time. Lastly my parents kept me from children who were rough have a theme of not being able to relive a bad memory.
The three poems are contrasting on the meaning as 'My parents kept me from children who were rough' and 'piano' are about the poet's memories when they are older and 'Half past two' is an exploration of a child's imagination during his early years before he could tell the time.
In Piano, Lawrence shows he is dealing with adult memories of childhood by in the first stanza, 'Taking me back down the vista of years.' The use of the word 'vista' shows that he is dealing with a long period of time. Similarly 'My parents kept me from children who were rough' Spender shows he is also dealing with adult memories of childhood as in the last stanza, 'I longed to forgive them, yet they never smiled.' The use of the words 'longed' and 'never' show that he is looking back to that time and is hurt that they never said sorry.
In contrast to that 'Half past two' is about an exploration of a child's mind. Fanthorpe shows this in the sixth stanza, 'He knew the clock face, the little eyes and two long legs walking but he couldn't click its language.' This description of the clock face shows that the writer is explaining a young child's mind of how they were taught how to tell the time.
The three poems contrast in structure as 'My parents kept me from children who were rough' and 'piano' only have three stanzas, where as 'half past two' has eleven stanzas.
In 'Piano' the stanzas change the time of as in stanza 1, the poet is writing about the immediate past. This then changes in stanza 2 as Lawrence starts to write about the past and in stanza 3, Lawrence starts to talk about his regret. 'My parents kept me from children who were rough' is similar to 'piano' as in stanza 3 he also talks about regret. Spender changes the manner of the poem as the first stanza is about envious and what is being said. Where as in stanza 2 Spender moves on to them being physical towards them.
'Half past two' is different as there are 11 stanzas and the stanzas are about the same thing. Half past two is also different as it is the only poem where the poet uses brackets '(I forget what it was).' This makes the reader think about what it was and that he is saying 'I' instead of 'He.' The poet also decided to use speech 'my goodness, I forgot all about you, Run along or you'll be late.' The poet makes us think about that the speech helps the poet with putting the boy back into his routine.
The poems make different uses of poetic devices as 'piano' and half past two' both uses rhyme where as 'my parents kept me from children who were rough' doesn't use any but makes use of a simile.
In the poem 'my parents kept me from children who were rough' it uses different poetic devices than 'piano' and 'half past two' Spender decides to use a simile 'I feared more than tigers, their muscles like iron' the use of the simile makes it sounds like its something you would see on TV rather than something that you would hear about in reality. It emphasizes the strength of the bullies in Spender's memory.
In contrast to 'my parents kept me from children who were rough' 'piano' and 'half past two' both use rhyme. In piano Lawrence uses rhyme at the end of each line, which rhymes with the next 'me, see, strings, sings, song, belong, outside, guide, clamour, glamour, cast, past' the use of rhyme makes the poem regular and this relates to its musical theme – the thing which makes him remember in the first place.
Although 'piano' uses a large amount of rhyme 'Half past two' only uses a small...

As well as having a cool sounding name, the Orbscan Topographer is a cutting edge eye mapping instrument. It allows talented eye surgeons to carry out complex eye procedures. A key aspect of any eye procedure is to be able to map parts of the eye on computer. The Orbscan Topographer provides the most highly detailed cornea eye map in the business.
What sets the Orbscan Apart?
The Orbscan scans our corneas. Whereas most cornea scanners in eye surgery only map the front of a cornea, the Orbscan maps the whole thing. This provides a multidimensional diagnostic scan. This has proven to have a number of applications in diagnosing eye conditions and subsequent procedures including:
Eye surgery suitability: Enables eye surgeons to determine whether an eye can be operated on. The cornea scans form part of subsequent treatment plans. Post-op-scans are used to measure the success of operations.
Contact lens fitting: Cornea thinning, Keratoconus and pre-Keratoconus are now diagnosable through using the Orbscan IIZ.
The future: The Orbscan is playing an integral part in explaining the reasons behind eye conditions including decreased visual acuity and corneal degradation.
How the Orbscan Topographer Works
Eye mapping works by shining light waves into an eye. These light waves are interpreted by computer software to provide a map of our eyes. Corneal mapping is a specialised subset of eye mapping. To be of use, a cornea scanner has to be able to show curvature and thickness of a person's cornea, as well as surface rises and dips.
The Orbscan has the capability to record 9000 data points of a cornea. Each data point is 1 micron. To give you an idea of how small a micron is, it is 1/1000th of a millimetre. Given that most corneas have a surface area of 11mm, the Orbscan provides a highly accurate map for surgeons. It scans the front, back, thickness, and surface area of the cornea. It is the only cornea scanner able to do this. It takes a mere 1.5 seconds to scan one eye.
Why is Scanning the Cornea Important?
It is essential that the cornea is scanned before and after surgery. Accurate scans of this part of the eye will tell surgeons whether your eye is fit for treatment. Together with other forms of eye mapping, it will help your surgical team devise bespoke treatments to treat eye conditions you may have. After surgery, it is used to measure the success of procedures you may have undergone. Its importance cannot be overstated.
The History of the Orbscan IIz
The Orbscan IIz was developed by a company called Bausch and Lomb. They were one of the first to develop Iris recognition and mapping in 2004. This breakthrough paved the way to develop all kinds of eye mapping technology. These breakthroughs have greatly increased the success rates of eye surgery throughout the world.
Eye Surgery Technology

Equis Bioenergy is strongly committed to protecting the natural environment and reducing CO2 emissions that cause global warming and climate change. Our aim is to build own and operate biomass power plants to increase the share of electricity generated from renewable sources.
Biomass power
Power generation using biomass is renewable and produces no net CO2 emissions. When trees cut and processed for fuel, new trees are planted in their place. The energy in biomass fuel is solar energy stored chemically by the natural process of photosynthesis. Wood pellets are made from renewable resource timber such as trimmed branches from plantation forest growth, bark from sawmills, sawdust, edge material, etc.
FSC certification
Biomass power plants that burn wood products (pellets or chips) as fuel need to ensure the sustainability of the wood supply to confirm that electricity generated is truly renewable, to comply with METI renewable energy regulations. The main international standard for sustainable certification of biomass fuel wood supplies is the Forest Stewardship Council's (FSC) Forest Management certification. Learn more about FSC certification here. Biomass wood fuel used by Equis Bioenergy power plants will have FSC certification.
ISO140001 is the international standard for environmental management of business operations. ISO140001 certification of an organisation gives assurance to the community, employees, and company management that environmental impact is being measured and improved. Learn more about ISO140001 here. Power plants developed by Equis Bioenergy will be certified to ISO 140001 in operation.

Never Assume Anything. Sixty and Serving. Sorting Saturday.
A couple of days ago I wrote a post The Legal Genealogist Inspires Me to Take Another Look at the Puzzle of Jeremiah which discusses why can I find no record of my 2nd great grandfather Jeremiah Gillespie fighting for the Confederacy? Or the Union for that matter. Marian Regan mentioned in a comment that... Continue Reading →
Silliness for Sorting Saturday
OK, I know this is silly, but I ran all my blog posts through Wordle: I know, I know. It doesn't really have anything to do with genealogy. But it amuses me. And maybe I need to branch out beyond the Gillespie lines!
Sorting Saturday — Fun with Names using Wolfram
I was named for my two grandmothers, Ann Irene Feazell and Jennie Elizabeth Payne. The name Ann seems to have no family connection that I can find, so I'm also curious as to why she was named Ann. I found an app on my iPad that added some possible illumination: Wolfram styles itself as a... Continue Reading →
Sorting Saturday — Good Source, Bad Source, Exhaustive Search
To abide by the Genealogical Proof Standard you must do an exhaustive search. 1 We know that includes vital records, deeds, probate, tombstones and a wide variety of original and derivative sources. But in the age of the internet, what else does it include? How many sites should we look at? Random Google searches are... Continue Reading →

The decisions of Adil Rashid and Alex Hales, the England one-day and T20 internationals, garnered a lot of coverage recently as they opted to eschew red ball cricket in order to focus on the white ball formats. It has been portrayed by some as a damaging message about the future of Test cricket. But is this actually the case?
Both have played Test cricket, although neither has recently. There have been question marks over the attitude of both, too, with neither excelling in the unrelenting environment of Test cricket.
Rashid, who last played Test cricket in 2016, drew the ire of his County, Yorkshire, at the end of the 2016 County Championship by refusing to participate in their title deciding final game of the season at Lord's, against Middlesex, opting instead to rest ahead of England's winter tours of Bangladesh and India. It was a game which Yorkshire lost, meaning that Middlesex claimed the title with a dramatic Toby Roland-Jones hattrick at the end.
Then Yorkshire coach, Jason Gillespie commented publicly about his frustration at the decision of a player who he clearly thought could be instrumental to Yorkshire's effort to win the Championship.
There were also rumours abounding that Rashid had refused to make his Test debut against Australia at Lord's in 2015. Such conjecture does not point towards a player cut out for Test cricket.
Hales, too, has had his problems. His 11 Test career as a flawed opener started poorly and only regressed. His Test career reached a nadir when he was given out by the television umpire at the Oval against Pakistan in 2016 and reacted by storming into the umpire's room to remonstrate with the official. He was fined for his behaviour.
Of course, Hales was also heavily involved in the Ben Stokes incident in Bristol in the summer of 2017. The hangover from that event continues to affect the England team, with the case yet to be resolved. There were rumours about Hales's own conduct on that evening, too, which paint a picture of an unreliable character.
So, will England's Test team, which isn't in a great place at the moment, miss these two? In short, no. Rashid wasn't called up for the Ashes, the second spinner's spot going instead to Mason Crane, the largely untested Hampshire legspinner who made his debut in the fifth and final Test in Sydney. Rashid was a way down the pecking order. Despite England's batting fragility, too, Hales wasn't in contention for an Ashes spot, either.
Rashid played 10 Tests and took 38 wickets at 42.78, despite playing all of these games in the spin friendly conditions of the subcontinent.
Hales played 11 Tests and scored 573 runs at 27.28.
For their fragility in the Test arena, however, both Rashid (59 games) and Hales (58 games) are important components of England's ODI operation. Their performances in the format are vastly superior to those in the Test arena.
Given that England are hosting the 2019 World Cup and, according to their coach, Trevor Bayliss and the latest cricket odds, are favourites to win the tournament, is the decision of the pair to focus on this format such a bad thing?
Not really. They have little to offer Test cricket, but a lot to offer ODI cricket.
There is a lingering snobbery around English cricket that 'proper' players play Test cricket. It's why so many pundits remain desperate to see Jos Buttler play Test cricket, despite glaring evidence that he's not much good at it. There was no such lamenting, for example, when Alastair Cook, Stuart Broad and James Anderson were exiled from England's ODI side. This is a one-way street.
Of course, the actions of Rashid and Hales, in turning their backs on red ball cricket, are bad news for County Cricket. Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire have lost good players at domestic level in these moves. But their actions will only really represent a problem for Test cricket if they are copied by leading lights from the Test arena, such as Joe Root and Ben Stokes.
But we need a bit of perspective here. Rashid and Hales had virtually no future in Test cricket and the format won't miss them. They have an opportunity, however, to win a World Cup next year. I for one will be cheering to the rafters if that happens and if this makes that more likely, good luck to them!

5 Benefits to Waking Up Early
Are you an early riser in the morning? If not, you should highly consider becoming an early bird. Why? Many studies have shown that there are numerous benefits to waking up earlier. Many of us have to wake up early for work however, this blog is about adding an extra hour to your morning rather than waking up and running out the door. I admit it's going to be hard at first if you're not used to it, but if you're still not convinced check out the benefits below.
Waking up early….
Helps you keep a healthier diet. People that sleep later or wait until the last minute to wake up tend to miss breakfast. Breakfast gives your body the nutrients it needs for energy and focus. If you miss breakfast, you are more likely to overeat in your next meal.
Increases your productivity. Research shows that the most successful people are early risers. Why is this? There are fewer distractions early in the morning so it allows you to get things done without being distracted. After a good night's sleep, your brain is energized and ready to work hard. Research also shows that early risers are better at making decisions, planning and setting goals.
Gives you overall better mental health. By waking up earlier, you automatically reduce the need to rush out the door in the morning, which reduces stress. Studies have shown that morning people are often more positive and more likely to experience satisfaction in their lives.
Gives you more time to exercise. By exercising first thing in the morning, you are not only being proactive in jump starting your body, it also does not get in the way of social plans after work or being too tired.
Improves your quality of sleep. If you think sleeping in on the weekends to catch up on sleep is helping, it's actually doing more harm. If you're an early riser you usually have an established sleep routine which means going to bed earlier. Everyone needs 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Once you get a routine going you will sleep better which makes it easier to wake up early.
Waking up earlier then your normal time might be hard to do at first, but it helps your overall mental and physical health. So can you start? Check out this article about the "6 AM Challenge" that gives you the steps to waking up earlier.
