It used to be that the worst part about going to Edmonton Oilers games when the wind chill dropped it to 29 degrees below zero is that the Oilers had usually dropped to 29 spots below first place.
It's still cold as hell right now, but at least there is a playoff race to bring a little warmth to these bitter December nights.
Sunday at Rogers Place saw some more of it when the Oilers, four points up on the Winnipeg Jets for one of two wild card spots when the puck dropped, gave themselves a little breathing room with a 3-2 victory.
Mark Letestu, who's scored five of his six goals this season against Winnipeg, tied it on a power play at 2:28 of the third period, then took credit for the go-ahead goal when Jets rookie Patrik Laine ripped one into his own net by accident at 11:21.
"I'm just trying to get a rebound out there, hoping for Connor (McDavid) or (Milan) Lucic to bang it in," said Letestu. "Pretty fortunate for us that it goes in the way it does. But we'll take it."
Laine was trying to clear the rebound after Letestu put a shot off goaltender Connor Hellebuyck and ended up burying one in the far corner. With authority.
What happened, exactly?
"That's a good question," sighed the dejected 18-year-old. "I kind of tried to get rid of the puck right away. It was just a bad position for me. An unfortunate goal."
Unless you were looking at it from the other bench.
"Fortunate bounce for us," said Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. "Tessy put it on net and did make a good shot to bring out the rebound like that. We'll take it and run with it. No matter how you can get the winner, it's nice to get it done."
It was a tough break for the best rookie in the NHL, but a much needed one for the Oilers, who won for just the third time in the last 10 games (3-3-4). While wins have been hard to come by, they have been grinding out enough points to keep their heads above water.
"Tonight really wasn't our best effort, we were lacklustre for two periods, but then the power play gets a big goal and we catch a break," said Letestu. "It's nice to get rewarded on a night you don't deserve it. There have been nights where we have and it's got away from us, so to get one we maybe didn't deserve feels pretty good for the room."
The standings are still a little too close for comfort (the Oilers were passed by Calgary on Saturday, had Winnipeg hot on their tail Sunday morning and are trying to stay ahead of three California teams who have plenty of games in hand) but it still beats the alternative: being out of it before the New Year.
"These points are huge," said Nugent-Hopkins. "It's nice to be in the fight right now. We're battling every night and every point is so big … we just have to find a way to get those points because it's a tight race right now. We've put ourselves in the (division) lead and we have to keep it rolling."
Any Oilers who've been around for any length of time can't help but get caught up in the adrenalin that comes with looking at the standings from the top down instead of the bottom up.
"I've only been here three years but the first two, especially the first one, was tough, frustrating for guys," said winger Benoit Pouliot. "You feel a little depressed, a little down on yourself, and it's tough to get out of it.
"This year, things have been really good so far. Everyone is buying in and playing well. There is still work to do obviously, but it's been a turnaround big time, much better than what it was."
"You want to be up there, you want to be in the mix, and we are right now," added Leon Draisaitl. "We have to keep pushing and we have to keep putting points together."
With both teams running on fumes it was a tight battle the whole way, with Winnipeg leading 1-0 after 20 and 2-1 after 40 on goals from Mathieu Perrault and Chris Thorburn (Oscar Klefbom replied for Edmonton).
Letestu's two goals in the third sealed the deal, and the Oilers are right where they want to be in mid December.
"We didn't do much to earn breaks in the first two periods," said head coach Todd McLellan. "Our team was lethargic tonight. It wasn't a really good game. Fortunately, we came back and found a way to win. We'll put it in the bank and move on."

I am sure you are asking but where is caramel flavor coming from – we are using Date Paste to create that unique and sought after flavor. Keep in mind before you dive into cooking, I know I could not wait, Belgian waffles are much more dense and the batter will be thicker compared to regular waffles.
And here were are… below are the keys to the absolutely the best post workout snack or when you just want to feel like a kid again. All that and still amazingly good with all Paleo friendly ingredients – enjoy responsibly 🙂
I used a waffle maker for this recipe so if you do not have one here are a few recommendations:

Ratings and Reviews
Probably my favorite mobile game ever
This was the first butterscotch shenanigans game I've ever played and I was so impressed with the care to detail and story put into this game, from the meme-orable characters to the large map and surprising amount of weapons and augments for such, makes it for a time consuming, but enjoyable and memorable experience. I also enjoy that this company connects its games to where achievements can earn you bonuses and extra missions in other games on your bscotch id thingy, something they never really explain but I feel it should be highlighted because it's really cool
The Binding of Towels
This game is a procedurally generated whirlwind of flying animals and chainsaws.
Occasionally when I stop firing for a moment I can briefly gain a moment of respite from endless explosions and unicorns flying in circles only to begin shooting again.
It's like a bullet hell with animals instead of bullets. And then also bullets.
Good stuff:
+ Lots of fun.
+ Lots of places to go.
+ Lots of enemies
+ Lots of animals to throw.
+ Moderately challenging.
Not so good stuff:
- Game asks to review the game every time you go back to the home panel. Super annoying.
- Can lose track of what's what on the screen really easily. Would be nice if enemies had a red outline or something.
- Magic enchantments don't last nearly long enough.
- Can't actually shoot towels (yet).
Great game
Fun and funny gameplay, unless you're an animal/magical creature, then you might not. I played all of Butterscotch Shenanigan's games that are on the AppStore and I recommend them all.

What to Expect From CADSRCBeamDesigner?
The top benefit of moulage for a mold making material is it is heat reversible. Another benefit of the flitch beam is that it may be nailed to a wooden wall, creating a flitch beam a whole lot easier to work with in many occasions. The primary advantage of the use of CAE is the capacity to test, simulate and possibly validate an item 3D without needing to build physically. It gives the capacity to instead of two.
The CADS RC Beam Designer Cover Up
In any certain stage of the procedure for research and development of a new item, the engineer is confronted with the need to predict the true behaviour of their undertaking. It truly is a capable assistant for extended distance pointing and presentations. Drafting used to be one of the most frequently available CAD jobs but companies have discovered that they can use interns or outsource and spend less. The students may obtain an upper hand should they pursue from best diploma college. Inside this training course, they come across the basic concepts which are required to pursue higher education. In addition, they need to spend good amount of time to learn these professional courses and to get training in field of chip designing. It is preferable to be a master of a single software than being reasonably talented in regards to several kinds of software.
CADS RC Beam Designer - Overview
Floor plan view is regarded to be the most fundamental and fundamental architectural drawing. In terms of a business printer it's likely that you're going to be printing at least 10 pages per day so let's say you're printing 65 pages daily that bring your total to 23,725 pages per year and dependent on the example ink cartridge we used that usually means you would need 53 cartridges and your complete cost would be $1,325. Thus site plans mainly contains external area details alongside boundary lines. The very best shop will provide you a broad range of top quality, Delicious and Affordable Mini Alcohol that come with designer bottles that enable you to decorate your home through it. If you are searching for the best one among them, then it is easy to reach the very best shop by exploring on the internet. In addition, it can also be regarded as the finest and personalized company present.
Vital Pieces of CADS RC Beam Designer
Generally, in the architectural design procedure, it is better to retain concept work in-house to keep the integrity of the plan. When the job is completed, it is going to go back to the docking station to recharge. If you locate a CAD job posting, it's possible that the sort of platform is going to be specified ahead of the business.
Conventional design isn't possible for such huge number. Once the last design is agreed upon, the essential documents will have to be ready for construction, permits and bidding. For some, the expert design gives higher confidence if you're looking for a dependable laser system for private use at home. For instance, you can learn how much of a specific form or kind of steel is employed in an individual drawing. The next bit of the jigsaw is collaborative working and that has seen a variety of developments in the past few decades. In addition, it may be used for materials of various shapes and sizes. A drawing sheet can be an AutoCAD layout or a particular field of model and once a sheet is finished it can be issued.
If you wish to have, then you can put your order. Through workflow analysis and appropriate planning it's possible to recognize processes that may be outsourced to enhance core business processes and productivity. It is a process which may be several iterations, or it might be necessary to draw the piece several times until it meets the vital requirements. The procedure is repeated at each point where they'll be a reinforced concrete column. To understand which part of the architectural design procedure can be outsourced and what has to be retained in-house, it is crucial to be aware of the form of design output that may be created. A tool particularly for the sheet metallic designer is Smart Fasteners Technology. The software also has considerable outlays, along with the training that's necessary to make be in a position to work with this kind of application.
Making a choice about which technology to choose depends mostly on your requirements. The LCD technology's been around for years because it's the exact technology utilized for wristwatches. This type of technology appears to be not appropriate for computer game playing. Now, several technologies are employed in the approach. Digital wall lighthouse technology in the Rumba ensures complete vacuum cleaning of a single area before continuing to the next location. It's strongly linked to the automobile business, simply because each car has many parts that could be drawn up from steel.

Always remember that training should be fun. Even when you just can't seem to get the tech right on the complicated lifts like the snatch and clean and jerk you just keep smiling and try to have fun. Even if you are a good lifter and you have a bad day, just take it on the chin, move on and learn from the mistakes. It will only make you better. Lifting weights is fun. Getting out of breath is fun (for me anyway lol). Being fit is fun and at the end of the day that's what we are trying to do for you. Get you fit so you can have fun with anything else you do with your self. So while training make it fun. Sing, dance, laugh and never forget to smile and just talk some shit with your fellow team mates at the box.
Snatch 1rm
Clean and jerk 1rm
*For newer athletes still working on technique for so then going heavy get some working sets in. 5×3 snatch and clean and jerk and a challenging weight but no misses.

The Thursday Post: Poetry By Heart Scotland 2017
6 April 2017
The SPL is delighted to announce the winner of Poetry by Heart Scotland 2017 is Dominic Bogle, a S6 student St Columba's in Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire. Poetry by Heart Scotland, a competition run by the SPL, encourages high school students to learn poems and to recite them before an audience. This is the third year we've run PBHS. The competition is structured as a series of regional heats, culminating in a final at the National Galleries of Scotland. Learning and performing a poem improves confidence and memory, while participation in PBHS introduces under-18s to Scotland's vibrant spoken word scene, giving them the chance to engage with and receive performance tips from professionals.
This year's final was held on March 18, with seven finalists participating. They came from around Scotland: the Kaimes School, Fettes College, St Columba's, Dalziel High School, Albyn School, and Bishopbriggs Academy (who had two students in the final). The judges were the poets John Glenday, Jane McKie and Samuel Tongue (whose poem 'What is it Like to be a Herring Gull' is featured in our latest edition of our annual online anthology Best Scottish Poems). Jenny Lindsay, the poet and host of poetry cabaret Flint & Pitch, was compère.
The final began with a performance of Adrienne Rich's poem 'At Majority' by PBHS's organizer and poet Marjorie Lotfi Gill to set the tone. Jenny Lindsay introduced each recitation, giving the audience background on the upcoming finalist and the poem they were performing. After each finalist had performed both their poems, the judges excused themselves to deliberate amongst themselves who should be the winner. During the break, Jenny performed a set of her own poems, and read from a selection of work by contemporary poets.
To kick off the second part of the final, John Glenday gave a recitation of a poem he heard regularly as a boy before he knew how to read, explaining that poetry was something he heard and internalized before he'd ever read it. He explained why memorizing and reciting poetry has been important to him as a person and as a writer. 'I could say something about how by memorizing a poem, it gets absorbed into our bloodstream, our DNA, and that's why it's called learning a poem by heart. Because poetry is all about humanity; memorizing a poem makes us more human, and more humane.' He added, 'Poetry is the only art form where you can possess the original simply by remembering it.'
Before the winner and runner up were announced, the judges gave feedback to each of the students on what they felt they'd done particularly well. Sam Tongue recited 'The Bright Field' by R.S. Thomas before the winners were announced by Jane McKie. Dominic Bogle won on the basis of his performances of 'My brain swims empty and light' by Robert Louis Stevenson and 'A Life in Dreams' by Jacob Sam La-Rose. The runner-up, Orla Chambers, is an S5 student at Dalziel High School; she performed 'A Blockhead' by Amy Lowell and 'Aunt Julia' by Norman MacCaig.
The SPL would like to thank each of the schools and their pupils who participated in the heats and the finals, as well as the judges, Sam Tongue, Jane McKie and John Glenday; Jenny Lindsay for hosting; and Marjorie Lotfi Gill for organizing the the competition. We'd also like to thank our former colleague Georgi Gill, who was instrumental in setting up PBHS and organizing the first two years of the competition, as well as playing a vital role in initiating its third year. Georgi recently moved on from the SPL and we miss her humour, dedication and integrity.

"Nothing makes the future look so rosy as to contemplate it through a glass of Chambertin" (Napoleon Bonaparte)
Napoleon liked to travel to Italy. I like to travel to Italy, but I don't bring an army with me. Napoleon appreciated Italian art. I love Italian art, but I don't carry it home with me. Napoleon loved his wine, and so do I, but whereas he was stuck on one type, I enjoy trying different varieties.
The young and newly appointed head of the French army in Italy Napoleon first emulated Hannibal by crossing the Alps in 1796 to 'liberate' northern Italy mostly from the Austrians, and to lend support to local Jacobins. The treaty ending this particular conflict handed Venice over to the Austrians, ending the long history of the independent Venetian citystate.
In 1800 Napoleon crossed the Alps a second time and pulled off a famous victory when faced with defeat against the Austrian army at Marengo in the Piedmont. (Did you know that Tosca is set against the background of the Battle of Marengo?) This time Napoleon's excursion to Italy was much
more lasting, and he insured his continuing influence by installing his relatives as rulers of various parts of Italy. His brother Joseph became King of Naples. Sister Elisa became Princess of Lucca and Grand Duchess of Tuscany and enjoyed a long and popular reign as reflected by the fact that one of Lucca's beautiful squares is still officially named Piazza Napoleone. Napoleon's own wife Marie Louise became by all accounts a muchloved ruler of Parma.
While initially welcomed as liberator in Italy Napoleon blotted his copybook by carting off much of Italy's treasures and donating them to the newly established Louvre in Paris. From one city alone, Bologna, 86 wagons were needed to transport the looted art back to Paris. Outstanding examples include the famous Horses of Saint Mark, which Napoleon had mounted on the Arc de Triomphe and Veronese's great Wedding at Cana, which hangs in the Louvre to this day.
So which wines did Napoleon favour? When it came to Champagne, which he was quite fond of, it had to be Moet and Chandon and he made many visits to their cellars in Epernay. He was quoted as saying 'In victory you deserve Champagne, in defeat you need it!' As for red wine, he only had time for one, Burgundy's highlyrated Chambertin.
Supposedly he had barrels of Chambertin carted around after him during his campaigns including Italy, which would mean some poor soldiers had to carry them over the Alps! Incidentally when Josephine Bonaparte died an inventory of her wine cellar listed 13,000 bottles about half of which were very fine Bordeaux. Her taste obviously differed from the Emperor's.
2010 Louis Latour GevreyChambertin, on special in SuperValu at €37 down from €47.99. I know, good Burgundy is expensive! Chambertin Grand Cru is one of Burgundy's stronger, more intense, perfumed wines with great cellaring potential.
Just in at Lidl, a more affordable Burgundy, Bourgogne Hautes Cote de Nuits, 2014, €12.99.

I was a "waiter" for a long period of time, trying so many different things, options…… only to find out that no matter what, NOTHING(not even time) could stop a migraine of happening!!!
So now I am an "early jumper" and my migraine are gone after a couple of hours. I have 4 to 6 migraines per month.
I always take a triptan and it's THE ONLY thing that will work for me !!!!!
I face this dilemma constantly. I too was concerned that I was using either the triptans or the DHE too frequently. So I decided to "ride out" a headache with only Haldol and Cogencin. Well, what started as a 5 quickly blew into an 8 and lasted 2 days. It also threw me into a bad headache cycle that lasted over a week. So now I am really hesitant to try this again. Any advice out there on how you cut back your triptan usage. Also, the DHE is a wonder drug for me but I can no longer get it here in PA. Has anyone been able to get it anywhere?
I'm a "waiter." The doctor has me on Imetrex, but I can only take them when I go to bed. They make me feel lethargic, nauseous and totally out of sorts. That doesn't help though when a migraine sneaks up on me in the middle of the day. Usually when that happens, I'll take Excedrine. But I have to be careful with that too. I get nosebleeds easily and aspirin thins the blood.
I am a jumpaiter . . . this means that I alternate between the two, depending on the symptoms I have and where I am when the problems start !
I am on daily preventative meds and managed to reduce the dosage successfully but I do seem to be getting intermittent symptoms ( thankfully not the full blow head pain I used to get ). The main problems I currently seem to suffer with is pain behind my eyes and in my left cheek / sensitivity in my scalp / neck pain and nausea and I will take various courses of action to address these, depending on where I am and the time of day. If I have arrived at work and will not be driving for a while I will take an abortive medication, if it is starting to have an impact on concentration . . . if I am at home I get my iced wheaty bag out of the freezer and lay with it in the small of my neck and meditate with a cooling eye mask on to see if this helps as I can usually " zone out " of the sensations while meditating. Luckily for me both courses of action work extremely well, on the whole ( probably only because I am on a preventative med ). If I am going to be driving within a few hours of the feelings starting, or not at home and able to lie in a cool, dark room I have to be a waiter until I am able to do either of my two preferred methods but I drink plenty of water and try distracting techniques. I am sooooo pleased that people have referred to random smells in this tread as on Tuesday night ( a just short of migraine night ) I was hunting for a very irritating perfume type smell that I thought was giving me a headache and making me feel sick !
I fall into both categories now that I have read "The Migraine Brain". This 11.00 pocketbook has a long list of weird & wacky things that happen to us that indicate a migraine has begun that most people would not usually even consider…like the itchy ears I have had for 10 yrs!! I have been to 3 docs and not one knew this can happen with migraine..I mean, who knew??!! Now when my family see me with my fingers in my ears, scratching away, they remind me I am getting a migraine. The information in this book has been a game changer in my treatment of migraines. I have bought and given away 4 copies of this book and everyone says the same thing – that no one told them 99% of this stuff and now they feel much much more in control of their health life. It is definitely a godsend. As much as I wish I had this information 20 yrs ago when this began for me I am just very grateful I have it now.
I am a chronic migraineur. I wish I could be a "jumper" but, like many of you, I am limited to x number of triptans I can have per month so I wait most of the time. I also try to follow my neuro's advice: if I have an important event, and a migraine is beginning, I take a triptan. If I can rest at home instead of taking a triptan, I do that. This doesn't always work, because some of the migraines are disabling, so even if I can rest at home, I simply don't want to be in pain! It's hard, very hard to make a decision to take a triptan, even with this guide, but it helps a bit. Luckily I don't have too many important events!
I used to have MOH but stopped all over the counter meds and reduced my triptan usage from about 20 a month (a couple of years ago when my company was generous) to less than 8. So I take nothing for my headaches/migraines except a triptan when I absolutely need to. If the triptan doesn't work, I have a prescription for Toradol and Maxeran, which I might need 1-3 times a month. Most of the time, I'm in pain. Such is my life.
Hi alise and JT63332,
I was absolutely a waiter thinking "it" wasn't really a migraine or would magically go away! As I've gotten older I am getting better at listening to my body and taking abortives when a migraine starts. 🙂
Used to be a waiter, but now I know better. My migraines never go away without proper medication. What helped me was that a neurologist said; one migraine attack does more damage to your body than all those pills do!!
I used to wait. Have had migraines (pre menopausal) for 18 months….. I tried jumping in early and just got it the day after medication…. tried waiting and suffered….. tried homeopathics, natural medicine, diet, drugs, combinations….. my worst one was 5 days long…. I have always had such great health, high pain tolerance, healthy lifestyle blah blah blah,,,, the migraines are now having a toll on my working and family life… I feel sad and hopeless when I am bent over a bucket, vomiting in a dark room when I want to be making lunches for my family and going to work….now the doc says I must take twice daily beta blockers, double the triptans(?) anti inflammatories and take anti emetics…. till menopause, maybe 6 to 8 years… I fear the last week of my cycle, its like I have a body that is not one I know or recognise… I am scared my brain is deteriorating from this trauma.. I can handle the headache just about but the nausea vomiting diarrhoea phantom smells loss of finger tip sensation slurred confused speech and agitation is sending me up the wall…
I'm a waiter. I can't take triptans because I have hemiplegic migraines and I'm scared to get medication overuse (MOU) migraines. I had a MOU migraine for over a month this summer. My neurologist wants me to take my medication, Fiorinal, as soon as I feel a migraine coming on. I work full time and do need to take my medication every day or every other day.
I agree with several of the previous commenters. I try to be a jumper, but am probably more of a waiter because of the sad need to hoard the medication for the worst of the worst migraines. If I could get as much medication as I actually need, I would be a jumper, no question. I also have them too frequently to use the triptans at the onset of any migraine symptom… but as I get older, I feel a little better capable of knowing which ones are going to be full blown a little quicker than I used to.
I am typically a waiter – those precious as gold Imitrex must last. I'll usually start with 2 Aleve and drinking lots of water. I might add phenergan or a muscle relaxer depending on how severe my symptoms are. Mine usually start with a flutter behind my right eye, stiffness in my neck and phantom smells. I think we all know where our 'breaking' point is regarding the abortive but I do think I allow myself to suffer too long before taking the Imitrex.
im a jumper. I am still trying to work full time. I usually take ibuprofen at the first whisper of head pain. If I'm at work, I go for triptans, if I'm at home, I go for pain medicine. However, the # of attacks I'm having is about 4/ wk. It's been rough. I'm seeing my neuro in 3 days though and hoping to try something new…
I'm a "waiter" on using abortives because I have so many migraines each month that I could risk MOH. I can usually tell which ones will respond to analgesics, NSAIDS, or triptans thanks to keeping such a long and detailed diary. However, I do use accupressure on my trigger points, aromatherapy, massage, extra water, room darkening, etc. as early interventions. I almost always do something within the first few minutes of a warning. Today is a perfect example: I felt tenderness in my right eye and immediately started massaging the trigger points on my right temple. I was able to abort the impending migraine before it got bad enough to need medicine treatment. Tomorrow I might not be so lucky, but I will take today for the blessing that it is.
I'm a waiter….it took a suggestion the other day from my husband when I said the bottom of my face was all tingly and I was smelling something like wet nasty diapers (I get phantom smells – it's weird and nasty), he said "Why don't you take your migraine medicine?". Wow, now there's an idea! So I did and it went away. The only problem is I am a chronic migraineur and I can only do this twice a week and I get these symptoms almost every day, especially the odors. At least I can take phenergan for the nausea when it gets bad, and I have pain patches.
The random smells! Thank you for posting that, I thought I was nuts looking for a sour smell in my house! This had been going in for over a year, my migraines started a year and a half ago, and periodically I will search the house looking for ' that smell'! If it were a constant smell it would've easy to find, bu incomes and goes! I do think you have solved my mystery!
It depends, if I am at work or doing something I cannot take a break from, I take my medication, but if I am at home or a family member's house then I excuse my self, find a dark noise free room (witch can be hard to do at family get togethers cause there any where from 2-5 children running around) and try to sleep it off, I, for lack of a better term, am lucky cause I have a lot of family members that suffer from Migraines, so they understand what I need to do. The Only time I take meds when I am at home is when it goes into my jaw (I also have TMJ) and I cannot open it.
Unfortunately I'm a waiter-I'm only allowed tryptans twice per week-In theory I can use those up by Tuesday. Then I am stuck with a headbanger I can't treat on Friday. I know I should treat ASAP, but the fear of a real nasty one later in the week makes me overcautious 🙁
I used to always wait – only was able to get 9 Imitrex pills per month (per insurance) and I didn't want to "waste" them. Now that I receive more than that (thru the VA) I take right away and notice I never "wait" for the headache to go away – it just…goes away…

OSCEOLA, Iowa -- As Iowans bundle up for another round of sub freezing temperatures and snowfall, cattle also adapt. "If they are fed well, even in weather like today, they are going to huddle and be fairly warm as a group of animals," said Mike Telford, executive director of Iowa Farm Animal Care.
The Clarke County Sheriff`s Office, the state and district veterinarians say that was not the case for the herd of Osceola farmer Michael Bachman, whose 40 cattle were found dead over the weekend. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship said, "It appears that the livestock producer had been failing to adequately feed his cattle which likely resulted in fatalities."
Channel 13 News attempted to reach Bachman at his listed address in Osceola next door to the cattle. A woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said Bachman was unavailable.
The Iowa Farm Animal Care is an organization that offers resources and help to farmers in need of animal care. Telford says they work closely with the state veterinarians office and Iowa State University. He says they are always a phone call away and keep a caller's name anonymous. "It's really unfortunate they didn't contact Iowa Farm Animal Care because we are there as a preventive measure for these sorts of situations," said Telford.
The sheriff's office says they have been back to the farm every day to make sure the animals are receiving the food and water they need. Unfortunately, Telford believes it is a situation that should have never had to happen. "The unfortunate part of this case in Clarke County is that it certainly could have been prevented."
The Sheriff's office says Bachman has been compliant during the investigation. Charges are pending and have not been filed at this time.

The Seek
NOOK Book(eBook)
Available on Compatible NOOK Devices and the free NOOK Apps.
From the talented and versatile Ros Baxter comes the first full–length, stand–alone novel in her sexy, engaging, groundbreaking SF Romance series.
When everything else is gone, all you have is hope.
The year is 2098, and the people of New Earth have been homeless for seventeen years. Ruled by a mysterious Council and adrift in a fleet of space stations, their sole mission is to survive long enough to find a new home. They call it The Seek.
Kyntura is the first and only female Avenger – one of the secret, separate elite who stand on the frontline between the refugees of Earth and a universe that would do them harm. For Kyn, fight and pain are the only things that drive out memories of the Apocalypse...and of the boy she left behind when she enlisted. But a young recruit called Mirren and a deadly mission will bring her face to face with all she has tried to forget.
As she leads a squad of Avengers in The Seek, Kyntura will have to face her demons – and the boy whose heart she broke a decade before – to confront the truth about New Earth and save the future of humanity.

If you are looking for a book that is heavy on the sci-fi and action that has just a bit of romance, then you may want to check out The Seek. Although it is the second book in the series, the first appears to be more of a prequel novella that features a couple of the characters that are from the main character Kyntura's past and while they do appear in this book and the incident is discussed, it is more in passing and not pivotal to the plot of The Seek. In The Seek, we learn that Earth was conquered (and possibly destroyed – I'm a little unsure on that point), leaving the surviving humans to flee the planet and begin looking for a new home. Kyn was eleven when she was forced to flee and was taken in by a neighbor who raised her alongside his own children. Seeing something within her, he pled her case to join the Avengers, which serves as the New Earth's military force. As the sole woman in the Avengers, Kyn fought her way up the ranks literally and her skill earned her the position of Magister (trainer). What I liked about Kyn was that she wasn't the bada$$ they thought she was because she was a woman proving a point, but rather her success was due to her using her position to work out her fury and rage at all that she had lost over the years. Because she was determined to minimize her losses as much as possible, she was hard on her trainees. She didn't care if they didn't like her or if they called her unsavory names, she only cared that she did everything within her power to give them the best chance at survival. Kyn comes off as cold, unfeeling, and not sentimental, but this is far from the truth. She compartmentalizes her feelings to a near robotic degree so that she can teach her squad to survive and the first mission her current trainees goes on demonstrates how good she is at what she does. When one of the settlements takes a turn for the worse and her trainees are slated to be sent to the field sooner than they are ready for it, Kyn does what she has to in order to go with them so that she can do what she can to save as many as possible. She's a realist and understands that despite her skill, her own survival is not guaranteed but she does not care. The Seek is an action packed read that pits Kyn against unknown forces, reunites her with friends she never expected to see again, and causes her to question everything she has done for the past decade. While the book is light on romance, this does not mean that it is lacking sex. Kyn doesn't make connections because they are distractions, but she does have physical needs and will seek out a partner when needed. As such, readers are treated to a couple of steamy scenes. But things really heat up when Kyn's path crosses that of a man from her past and she must confront feelings she thought had been buried long ago. Ms. Baxter has done a great job of setting The Seek up for its sequel and I cannot wait to find out what happens next to Kyn and the people of New Earth. I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. Reviewed by Angela at Crystal's Many Reviewers!

I had to laugh when I read how you stuffed your car with crafting supplies. When our group goes on retreat we take everything but the kitchen sink and most goes unused. But you never know what you might need. Your latest journal pages are delightful and I like your happy snowman tag.
Be a creative patient and the nurses will want to join a class or two while you're on location and may just extend your treatments so they can take advantage of your talents.

From Loggers World, February 1993
Being older makes you wiser.but you can still be fooled just take note of the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) latest bit of advice given to its members interested in environmental issues. Is it possible they are being led "down the garden path…?"
In January the AARP and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) brought together groups including the National Park Service, the National Wildlife Federation, Renew America, and the Nature Conservancy. From this meeting was formed the Environmental Alliances for Senior Involvement (EASI).
Editor's Comment:
According to the website, this is who they are:
"The Environmental Alliance for Senior Involvement (EASI) is a national nonprofit coalition of environmental, aging and volunteer organizations established in 1991 as the result of a visionary agreement between the US Environmental Protection Agency and the American Association of Retired Persons. EASI's mission is to increase opportunities for older adults to play an active, visible role in protecting and improving the environment in their communities. EASI's national partners include over 300 national, state and local public and private organizations such as:
National Association of State Departments of Agriculture
Corporation for National and Community Service
US Department of the Interior: Bureau of Land Management, National
Park Service
Coastal America
North American Coalition on Religion and Ecology
National Wildlife Federation
US Environmental Protection Agency
National Rural Water Association
National Association of Physicians for the Environment
National Association of Towns and Townships
US Department of Agriculture: Forest Service, Natural Resources
Conservation Service
National Association of Counties
Groundwater Foundation
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
Commonwealth of Virginia
University of North Texas at Denton
Pennsylvania Business Roundtable
US Department of Health and Human Services: Administration on Aging
Oklahoma Blue Thumb
National Park Foundation
RSVP Association of Washington State"
plus many more.
I wondered just exactly who are, why are they and what is the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. Sounds like a shadow Department of Agriculture to me.
You should check out this site. The organization is doing so many good things it stinks.
Do you think its possible these Older "and wiser" seniors might be in a green haze of misinformation? Hmmm. Sit down and try to broaden their perspectives as to what these "environmental" industries have accomplished in reality by going to the EASI website and learn about all the good things the seniors are doing. https://www.easi.org/.*

Assay Information
Gene Information
Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules that act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are able to deactivate G protein subunits of the Gi alpha Go alpha and Gq alpha subtypes. They drive G proteins into their inactive GDP-bound forms. Regulator of G protein signaling 10 belongs to this family. All RGS proteins share a conserved 120-amino acid sequence termed the RGS domain. This protein associates specifically with the activated forms of the two related G-protein subunits G-alphai3 and G-alphaz but fails to interact with the structurally and functionally distinct G-alpha subunits. Regulator of G protein signaling 10 protein is localized in the nucleus. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq Jul 2008]

PostPlanner addresses the Frequent Issue Using the status of Facebook upgrade, and that's the difference. For example: If I would like to print a"Good Morning" message in my Facebook page, then I will be posting it A.M. IST, but for countries other than India, it may be evening or day.
This destroys the degree of personalization, And your page becomes more country-specific rather than being a global page. With PostPlanner's automobile time-zone conversion, even when you schedule an upgrade for 8 A.M., then it is going to be posted at 8 A.M. local time for India, and 8 A.M. local time to get the U.S., etc.. You will see info about this excellent feature here.
When you start using PostPlanner, you will want to Adjust a few settings:
- Default page: Choose a default page for posting. You can change it .
- Time: You can set time for queuing your post. This will allow you to avoid having to set the time when you're scheduling a post. As buffering your article on 11, it will be the same.
- Create a list: this attribute will make your FB automation easier and more fun If you manage pages and classes.

In one of our local towns there is this beautiful forest that every now and again has an even on. Today was a 'Forest Festival'. Me and the girls decided to take a look (I bribed them with the fact they could see the Gruffalo!)
There was a shuttle bus, from the town to the Forest and I decided that this was the easiest way to get there rather than trying to fight for a parking space. Plus Little M has never been on a bus before so I thought we could tick that off her list of things she really should have done by now!!
I was a bit nervous how Big M would be today especially as she'd been up since 5am, plus she can be a bit unpredictable when there are crowds. She was amazing! She held my hand the whole time and listened to all my instructions which was a relief!
So picture the scene…
I have a 2 year old in one hand and a 1 year old on my back in the rucksack (FYI one of the best purchases we have made since having Little M – although she is getting a little heavy now) and a potty in a carrier bag in the other. We were ready to find the Gruffalo…
We walked though the forest , looking at the different craft stalls and events that were taking place.
And then we spotted him…
He was hiding behind one of the stalls.
'His eyes are orange, his tongue is black, he has purple prickles all over his back.
Oh help! Oh no!
It's the Gruffalo'
(I was able to quote this without looking it up! I know this stuff better than I know my A-Level English Lit stuff!)
Big M was a bit dubious at first but she went up to him to say hello. Little M on the other hand was far too happy in the rucksack and she really didn't want to get out so the photo we got is…
Don't we look great??! Ha Ha!
We also got to meet some minion who Big M loves at the moment. I think she was just so overwhelmed that she got to meet them she didn't know what do with herself (kind of how I would feel if I randomly bumped into Robbie Williams – erm…did I just compare him to a minion? Sorry!)
We then had a bit more of a wander, looking and buying some lovely crafts all made locally and from local produce.
By then it was lunch time, good job I had a pack up as the girls were ready for their sandwiches and a lot of the food there today were burgers and hot dogs.
We looked around the food court, mainly as Big M had stolen most of my lunch so I had a make a small purchase for when we got home.
I could tell that both girls were getting very tired and it was time to head home, so back on the bus we went.
You can see how tired Big M is here but Little M is really enjoying the bus ride. Maybe we should do it again soon 🙂

Sadly, Lou Reed died over the weekend, sadly, yes sadly because no matter what he did or didn't do, he was a person, creative, outgoing, argumentative and vulnerable.
Lou's musical career starting with The Velvet Underground and even his early solo career with Bowie was way before my time.
The earliest I can remember hearing him was when a still image version of Walk On The Wild Side was aired on Top Of The Pops around 1975.
Even in the short snippet that was shown, It was vastly different to anything else around in the charts back at the time. All that glam-rock poppy crap, the Osmonds, middle of the road, Leo Sayer, poppy shit.
It didn't just sounded differently, basser and basic with his gravelly monotone, but the lyrical content with its overt sexuality of homo- and transexual natures was outrageous at the time.
Holly came from Miama FLA .. What does FLA mean?
Hitch-hiked her way across the USA .. Okay.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way .. Why?
Shaved her legs and then he was a she .. Eh????
Certainly had this boy paying attention and all of my mates in our formative years, intrigued but staid back in Glasgow circa 1975
I was barely a teenager at the time, but the question has to be asked. … If it was that dubious .. how come it was so popular that it made the charts?
Truth is, people like a bit of dirt, they like to play along with the dangerous side, not ever going there but they like to think they know.
Lou was often described as a musical geuius was undoubtedly a flawed character.
Oh do you think?
Well who made you God?
If you think that the man was flawed, then at least remember your own failings first before you start throwing stones.
As it happens, I do think the man was flawed, but I'm sure he had his plus points too.
Don't we all?
But I'd never slag him off because of it and certainly not when the man isn't even cold.
What a shocking epilogue the Daily Mail has given him today .. I'm loathe to provide a link and give them the hits, but read this, it comes across as sad, bitter and vitriolic as if there was a personal grudge involved.
Shame on them.
Although I do like their line Walk On The Peaceful side, pretty incongruous with the rest of the article but I do agree with at sentiment.
As a balance, a more positive review from the Guardian
I like his retort about how he stays creative, so do I!! 🙂
Be peaceful Lou.

When to consult an attorney when you are let go?

Hamilton Law Quoted in The Reporter
Ayesha Hamilton, Esq. of Hamilton Law Firm P.C. was quoted in The Reporter December 2013. Learn more about Kyle's Riess' story here: http://www.thereporteronline.com/general-news/20131204/teen-says-he-was-fired-because-of-disability
LGBT Rights in Pennsylvania
PA HB 300/SB 300: "An Act amending the act of October 27, 1955 (P.L.744, No.222), known as the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act, further providing for the title, for findings and declaration of policy, for right to freedom from discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation; defining "sexual orientation" and "gender identity or expression"; and further providing for unlawful discriminatory practices, for prohibition of certain real estate practices, for powers and duties of commission, for education program and for construction and exclusiveness of remedy." HB 300/SB 300 was referred to the State Government Committee on April 28, 2011, and there it has remained since. This Bill appears to have bi-partisan support in the PA House and Senate and provides much needed civil rights protections for the LGBT community at the state level, in the employment and housing realm. All of our surrounding states provide these protections and there is no reason that Pennsylvania cannot step up to the plate. The LGBT community constitutes an important and productive part of our society and deserves the same protections afforded to Pennsylvania citizens being discriminated on the basis of race, age, sex, or disability. These amendments to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act would prevent discrimination on the basis of "sexual orientation" and "gender identity or expression" in the workplace as well as in housing. I can't think of a single legitimate reason to oppose this Bill. Can you?

The Best UK Dance Music Festivals Summer 2017
Even though I'm writing this in the midst of a very heavy rain shower that seems to have lasted most of the last 24 hour hours, we have a lot of great summer festivals just around the corner. With any luck we will have some great weather this summer for revellers to soak up the sunshine and hear some awesome music drifting through the hills and valleys. It is over two decades since Glastonbury formalised the appearance of dance music on the festival calendar and in that time dance music has become a regular fixture. This week we pick a few of the best line ups for UK based festivals that cater for the electronic and dance communities.
Glastonbury - Pilton - 21-25th June
Glastonbury always sells out in the time it takes for Liam Gallagher to fall out with his brother Noel at a family gathering. Nonetheless as the world's most famous arts festival puts increasingly more effort in the dance and electronic area, so we thought we would highlight a few key attractions for anyone lucky enough to have obtained a ticket. There are quite a few big hitters from the dance community this year with Chic, Leftfield, Justice, Goldfrapp and DJ Shadow all worth watching. Further afield at Silver Hayes you can catch the talents of Sister Bliss, Fatboy Slim, Shy FX, Mylo, Seth Troxler and Jackmaster among dozens of other live acts and DJs. With TV and extensive radio coverage you can at least get some of the good vibes in your living and possibly miss the rain and mud.
Cocoon in the Park - Leeds temple Newsam - 8th July
Following up from last year, Sven Väth's one day party returns to Leeds with another sterling line up with the main man joined by Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati, Richy Ahmed, Alex & Digby, Annie Errez, Bobby O'Donnell. At the time of writing the first two phases of tickets had sold out and you might just find yourself with the final release tickets if you are not quick. Cocoon in the Park started 2009 as a collaboration between Vath and the Leeds based team behind Mint Club and Mint Warehouse. The open air event has just one stage and offers just pure dance music and state of the art visuals. You can also buy your tickets with coach travel from Hull, Newcastle and Manchester to save you the pressure of driving there.
- 3rd Release ticket £60.50
Secret Garden Party - Mill Hill Field, Cambridgeshire - 20th-23rd July
The Secret Garden Party comes to an end this year sadly, after first appearing on the festival calendar in 2004 it had gained huge momentum. It has built a reputation as one of the leading music festivals in the UK and rightly so. The finale promises to be an epic one and brings together the likes of Crystal Fighters, Metronomy, Zero 7 and many more quality acts for one heck of a party. DJ duties are picked up by luminaries including the reggae selector legend David Rodigan, Luke Solomon, Stanton Warriors and quality tunes from ex-snooker star Steve Davis. It will no doubt be a very emotional scene once the curtain finally falls on possibly the most famous garden party of the 21st Century, but no doubt something equally euphoric will take its place.
- Adult weekend ticket £197
Eastern Electrics - Morden Park, London - 5th August
Another one day dance festival and new location for the house and techno event. With seven stages and tents to choose from, you will not be short of finding something of your liking. Techno and house legend Carl Cox heads the main stage supported by Darrius Syrossian, Nick Curley with more names to be added. Other headliners across the various areas include Chicago house legend DJ Pierre, Steve Lawler, Terry Farley, Skream and Hot Since 82. No doubt that this festival, like so many will sell out - (it was close to doing so as I write) and being based in central London will attract a huge number of house and techno heads to this popular event.
- VIP - 2nd Release £65.95
- 5th Release £54.95
South West Four - Clapham Common - 26th -27th August
Having the luxury of being based in London and on the last Bank Holiday weekend of the summer it means you can party hard and still take Monday to recover. Featuring some of the heavyweights of the commercial dance community there is something for most dance fans. With Pendulum, dance music collaborators Sigma and Gorgon City, veteran drum and bass producer Sub Focus and Ram Records Wilkinson all delivering live performances. The DJ duties are taken care of by Marco Carola, Deadmau5, Eric Prydz, Sven Väth, Marshmello and Eric Morillo among others.
- VIP Saturday £137.50
- Saturday £70.31
- VIP Sunday £137.50
- Sunday £64.69
Creamfields 24-27th August
The biggest and best dance festival in the UK returns once again with an incredible line up of live acts and DJs over the course of four long days and nights. Spread across almost a dozen areas you can catch the cream (excuse the pun) of dance music in the open air. Creamfields sets up a marathon session only for the hardcore as things kick off on the Thursday with a few of the areas opening up for those keen to start festivities. Friday cranks up the heat with Seth Troxler, Andy C, Armin Van Buuren and Sigma among many others. Saturday sees Deadmau5, Diplo, Stormzy, Pete Tong, Laidback Luke heading up some of the areas and a UK exclusive performance from Richie Hawtin. There is little rest for the wicked on day four as Hardwell, Fatboy Slim, Steve Angello, Eric Prydz, Paul Van Dyk as well as Hollywood star Idris Elba shows off his deck skills. There are also DJ sets from Chase & Status, Pendulum and Faithless to carry the festival to its euphoric climax. There are many ticket buying options depending on how many days you want to attend.
- 2 Days with camping £185 plus booking fee
- 3 Days with camping £210 plus booking fee
- 4 Days with camping £230 plus booking fee

"I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done." – Buddha
I changed.
Yes, this happens a lot. Thanks to revamping my Dream Board to narrow its focus a couple months ago, attending Ignite 8 last Friday, and a whole lot of meditation… it became clear that some changes to my 30 before 30 list were in order. Sometimes, you don't know what you really want until you start planning your life around it all.
I also realized that I was doing a lot of really cool "Bucket List" stuff that simply had not made the list. This included:
- Riding in a convertible
- Running a mile nonstop outside
- Watching Star Wars all the way through the first time EVER
- Played in a softball tournament
- Went on a solo road trip
So what is going and what is staying? For now, just a couple of things. More changes will happen. It's not going to be a perfect or a perfect process, and that's ok! All that really matters is having the experiences in life you most want (and sharing them with rad people along the way.)
Want to help me mark something off the list? Help me become a Super Connector by adding me on LinkedIn!

This is an Azerbaijani variation of minced lamb meat kebab - other similar versions include lula kebab in Armenia, and kofte kebab in Turkey, among other variations.
This dish is typically prepared by grinding or chopping the meat together with the onion. It is then grilled on skewers. I do not have a functioning meat grinder nor a grill, so this recipe is modified to accommodate my kitchen.
I made the kebabs by frying them in a pan. I divided the meat in approximately 12 meatballs, which i then rolled out between my palms into sausage shapes. I then fried them in two batches.
This version of the kebab is typically served wrapped in flat-bread (called lavash, traditionally made in a tandoor type oven). If this flat-bread is not readily available you can substitute with another thin flat bread such as flour tortillas or even naan. A pita might not be a good substitute as it is too thick, but if you'd like to make a gyro out of it, go for it.
I could not find any lavash (one of my next projects is to learn how to make it), so I used regular flour tortillas. They go very well with this dish. Another essential ingredient are onion slices. I marinate them briefly by mixing them in coarse salt and let stand for about half an hour and then add a touch of rice vinegar. The salt softens them and the vinegar gets the onion stink out to make them palatable as a topping.
Another thing you will need is sumac. As I mentioned in my last post, sumac is a spice common across the Middle East and Central Asia. For this Azerbaijani inspired dish, it is almost essential. It adds a tangy flavor and a beautiful reddish color. For these kebabs, it is used both as an ingredient and a finishing spice.
Serve the kebabs with garlic-yogurt sauce and red chimichurri sauce for dipping.
Lyulya Kebab
(Serves about 4-6)
You will need:
To serve with kebabs:
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp rice vinegar
Thin flat bread (lavash, flour tortillas, or naan)
Sprigs of cilantro and mint, for garnish
Pomegranate seeds
Sumac, for garnish
For kebabs:
4 tbsp olive oil, divided
2 lb ground lamb meat (85% lean, you want the fat)
1/2 minced white onion
A dash of sumac
1/2 tps cumin
1/2 tsp hot Hungarian Paprika
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp pepper
Salt (I would have said to taste, but don't taste raw meat)
1. First, marinate the onion slices that will be served with kebabs. Take 1/2 of the onion and slice thinly into crescent moons. Put the white onion slices in a bowl, and mix them with 1/2 tsp coarse salt. Let stand to allow the onions to become moist, about half hour, then mix with the teaspoon of vinegar. Set aside while you make the kebabs.
2. Mix lamb, minced onion, 1 tbsp of olive oil, sumac, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon and salt and pepper until combined. Divide into 12 even pieces and roll each one into a meatball. Using the palms of your hands, roll out each meatball into a sausage shape (about Italian sausage size).
3. Heat remaining 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the kebabs, turning frequently to allow even browning, until the kebabs are done and no longer pink, about 15 minutes.
4. To serve kebabs (you can bring everything out and allow your guests to do it themselves), wrap each one in a flat-bread, top with marinated onions, springs of cilantro and mint, pomegranate seeds, sprinkled generously with sumac. Serve with garlic yogurt dip (recipe follows).
Garlic Yogurt Dip
You will need:
8 oz plain Greek yogurt
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh mint
1 tbsp finely chopped dill
1 finely chopped scallion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste
Combine yogurt, garlic, herbs, and salt and pepper. Squeeze juice of 1/2 lemon and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
