This is what happens when a group of friends and I throw a party. This wasn't just any party though, it was Promcoming (y'know, promcoming), and it was probably one of the highlights of my year. There was food, music, and TINSEL. I still can't believe it's already over, because it was just so fantastic. Oh, if you're wondering what that god-awful loaf is, I'll be glad to explain. At one point of the party we had a movie trivia game and if you guessed wrong you had to eat a piece of fruitcake. But this wasn't any ordinary fruitcake, it was the crappiest of all crappy fruitcakes. It was King Crappy, actually. When you smelt it you could taste it and it did not smell good. One person had a bite of it and nearly died so we switched over to eggnog (which was still pretty crappy). This night was so perfect, though, and I couldn't have done it without my perfect friends (and I'm not just saying that, I have the greatest friends ever.) Off subject, it's almost next year! Let's make ridiculous goals and stay up to wee hours of the night and be giddy that the world didn't end on the 21st. Happy New Year, everyone!! I just want to take this moment to thank all of my lovely followers~ I really couldn't ask for anyone better than you group of cool cats, so danke schön!! ♡

Introduction: Make a Butter Candle - Science Experiment
This is one of my favourite science experiments cause it's great fun but also super easy and cheap! Not only this but who thinks of butter as a candle? So it's a great party trick!
Before I begin, check out my site - ScienceSquid.com for other cool experiments.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Let's Gather Up the Materials
So all your gonna need is:
Toilet paper (The more ply the better!)
Something to poke the a hole in the butter (I use a skewer)
Scissors (Optional)
Step 2: Get the Materials Ready
Let's get get all the materials ready before we make it.
So first off let's cut your butter in half. Now grab that piece of toilet paper and cut it into quarters (4 Pieces) once you've done that fold it into triangle then roll that triangle and make into a little hook.
I would also go ahead and poke a hole in the centre of the butter with a skewer at this point. (This hole is where the wick (toilet paper) will go)
Step 3: Finish It
Last step now!
With that piece of toilet paper push it into the hole we just put in with the skewer pushing the hook down. (Look at the image if confused) Once pushed down grab a match/lighter, and your done! :)
Step 4: Enjoy!
There easy as! Hope you enjoyed this quick and easy project! If your feeling adventurous you could try the fire-proof balloon experiment in combination with this experiment!

The Hugh Kilmer Trophy was given in his memory to the Storm Trysail Club by his many shipmates and friends who appreciated his great love of the sea and of the Club which he so ably helped to revitalize after the Second World War.
The Trophy will be awarded at the sole discretion of the Flag Officers and Board to a member who has, during the then current year, performed some noteworthy feat which has reflected honor upon the Club.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
The two most recent episodes (163 and 164) of the Canadian Podcast Buffet feature audio clips from PABsters past, present and future on preparing to attend the conference and how to make the most of PAB so it stays with you and, hopefully, causes you to think and act differently when it comes to creating compelling content.
While everyone offered fantastic insight, John Meadows' comments focused specifically on the PAB experience and what makes PAB a conference like no other. It might be the best promo we've heard for any conference. So, we're sharing it hear with just two days before the PAB2010 begins.
I loved this. Being a PAB newbie, I'm sure John is right. I look forward to fully participating!

Very great place d location to all main points of interest.
Tendran una excelente ubicación...
Fabulous location, great sized apartment with all mod cons, good value for money
This apartment is large enough for up to 4 people as it has a queen bed and two singles and it has 2 bedrooms, which are clean. The kitchen is of ample size and has some cooking essentials included. The location is central to the CBD which made it perfect for us, as we have a chronically ill/disabled son who can't walk very far or fast, therefore making it easier for us to get around. The apartment is also very secure, and the internet service was also very good; all in all a great place to stay.
Great location 3 blocks from Circular Quay. Clean and comfort.
Exceptional location, perfect for family with two children, only downside, noisy at night as work on adjacent street.
Great place, great location!
A great Apartment in a great location. Everything you need is here, the common parts of the building look a little tired but the flat is comfortable and very well located. The only downside, which the host cannot influence, is the work taking place on George Street installing the new light rail system. This work is being done at night and can be a little noisy. I wouldn't let that put you off as everything else is great, but it may be an issue for young children or light sleepers
This apartment is very central - 5 minutes walk to The Rocks and Circular Quay, and 10 minutes walk from Pitt Street Mall. There is also a convenience store a few steps away from the building entrance, which came in very handy. The apartment is beautifully equipped, and a welcome pack provides any small extras you might need. The air-conditioning is fabulous, especially during hot days! The beds are very comfortable and the linen is high quality. For people with young children it's great to have a bath tub as well. This apartment has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The only I would say is to check on the progress and timing of the light rail construction on George Street, as it is very noisy. Otherwise I would highly recommend this apartment.
This appartment is in a fabulous location everything is so close and easy to get to, we had 2 teenage kids with us and all felt safe in the appartment and out on the street, there are fantastic restaurants and market food, bars everywhere it's a lovely short walk to the opera house area the botanical gardens and the city shopping. It was clean and bright with a nice pool on the roof, the only let down was the bathroom is very small and the little things that you expect would to be provided such as salt pepper a roll of toilet paper, sponges an extra tea towel etc are not However there are plenty of quality towels and spare linen provided The appartment has a very good air conditioning system and the beds are very comfortable
We had a wonderful time in Sydney in every way, superb dining, still savouring the memories, excellent sightseeing, the apartment worked out brilliantly, quiet, clean, perfect for our needs, in a great location in it's proximity to Circular Quay with all it's forms of transport to anywhere in Sydney, plus cafe's, restaurants, supermarkets and shopping. We were met on time on arrival at the apartment our host allowing us earlier entry than listed as well as a later departure time to suit our incoming and out going flights which we really did appreciate. Any issues were dealt with efficiently as per 11 light bulbs which were out and needed changing. Thanks so much for a lovely stay, we'd definitely book the apartment again. Warm regards Leonie
This place was in an awesome location and looks just like the pictures! the kitchen was well equipped and it was great having a washer/dryer too. We felt very safe there and were within walking distance to everything! our host made us feel very welcome and we would recommend this to other travelers for sure!
A really convenient place that close to Circular Quay. We can find everything on George Street like supermarkets, malls and restaurants. The place is well set with all equipments for cooking and cleaning like home. I do love staying there.
Five star location right in the heart of the CBD. Clean, convenient and great value. Will book again.
This great 2 bedroom apartment is as central as it gets. Located in the centre of the city, only minutes walk from all of Sydney's great sites such as the Sydney Opera House, The Sydney Conservatorium of Music & Circular Quay.

According to GTM Research, the cost of customer acquisition for a typical solar residential system is roughly $3,000. With the bulk of this cost coming from sales and marketing, solar system installers need to reduce the cost of acquisition to deliver solar at an attractive price point. One of the most effective but least used tactics: customer referrals.
The simple truth is that people trust their friends and family. That trust extends to their opinions about who to vote for, where to dine, and what to buy. So it makes sense that solar installers should look at existing customers as ambassadors. Referrals also lower the total cost of customer acquisition and, in tight margin businesses, this is a crucial approach.
Just how important are customers referrals? Very, according to research from the Nielsen rating company:
92% of consumers trust referrals from people they know.
People are 4 times more likely to buy when referred by a friend.
4 Ways to Improve Customer Engagement
Given the importance of customer references, how do you go about getting them? As many businesses have found out, getting a new customer can be a challenge, but keeping them and fostering a long term ambassador is even more difficult. Why? Often manufacturers and installers are so focused on new sales, product and installation, they forget about customers once the product has been installed. To change this, you need to start engaging customers not only during the sale and install process, but after as well. That's because, as important as a flawless install and sale is, when it comes to creating an ambassador, it is equally important to keep in touch with your customers to find out what they think of a product, how it may be improved, and to resolve customer complaints quickly. Here are the top 4 ways to improve customer engagement and create a legion of ambassadors
1. Ask for Feedback
The number one way to increase customer engagement is to actively seek your customers' feedback. Encourage them to rate products and services. Most purchasers during the product investigation stage will read the reviews or ratings provided by others and then decide whether to buy the product or not. If people provide negative feedback, respond immediately. By offering solutions, you can convert a poor rating into a good opportunity to reinforce brand trust.
2. Engage via Social Media
Social media connects people with friends, family and the brands they use or want. When customers are happy, they naturally promote products and services through word of mouth and on social media. Give them an option to recommend products and services to their online friends once they have had a chance to assess the benefits of solar. But make sure to pay close attention to any social media efforts. Disappointed customers can damage a brand unless concerns are quickly resolved.
3. Offer Rewards
Many solar companies are offering direct dollar incentives to customers to refer a friend. If a referral turns into a sale, the referee can make up to $1,000 per successful installation.
4. Stay in Touch
Don't just install and run. Stay in touch with customers. Keep them in the loop regarding product maintenance and performance. For example, if your company has the means to collect information about their specific product performance, let customers know when they need to wash their panels, and send them instructions on how to clean them. People want to know that a company cares about them and they will appreciate the extra effort that takes.
Sounds Easy, But…
Building customer engagement is not always as easy as it sounds.
In general, products that don't give people a chance to interact with them are less likely to generate the kind of loyalty required in order to ask them for referrals. Products like consumer electronics, entertainment and packaged goods generate high customer engagement simply because people 'use' them more often, and they offer ample opportunities to post on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Low engagement products, which people purchase annually like insurance or — even less frequently — home heating and cooling systems, are simply not set up to encourage customer engagement and few even consider promotions to friend networks through social media.
That can change though.
Photovoltaic panels by themselves are a relatively "low" engagement product. However, people buying solar panels are keen to understand the benefit of their investment. If owners had a way to monitor how much energy they are generating and consuming, as well as how much they are saving from their solar investment, they are suddenly much more engaged. Providing customers with a real-time view of energy use–right on their mobile phone–can lead to higher engagement rates, more product reviews and increased referrals. Our statistics at Neurio prove this out. People open the Neurio Home Energy Monitor phone app more than four times a day or 30 times a week. That's huge engagement. And it means increased potential for referrals from your growing pool of connected solar ambassadors.

Membership features are perfectly suited for taking charge of your credit score. Apart from getting your credit, auto, insurance, and hiring risk scores (not many monitoring products have all of these), monthly membership comes with access to smart tools like Jean Chatzky Score Builder and Debt Negotiator. Plus, if you want to compare your score from the "big three" bureaus, it's easy to order credit reports from TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax.

Accounts are updated automatically and regularly throughout the day. With simple push-button actions, you can ask questions, resolve issues on your credit report, or negotiate better rates.
As an added bonus, custom alerts are easy to set up. You can get alerts sent via email or text message for upcoming due dates, new accounts, large transactions, and new credit inquiries. Alerts are a must-have feature if you want to stop identity theft in its tracks. It's all about visibility and control.
Pricing: 7-day trial for $1, then $9.99/mo.
Ease of registration: It's simple. The registration process is like any other credit monitoring service; fill in the basics, verify your identity, and add a payment method. Once you are signed in, connecting your accounts is straightforward since it finds your accounts for you—no guessing or searching required.

The hugely (un)popular domain registrar, GoDaddy has been continuously bearing the brunt over the past few days for supporting Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill. They had to eventually withdraw the support amidst huge protests on the web, including threats (and actions) of moving away the domains away from GoDaddy.
Namecheap, who is one of the primary competitors of GoDaddy has now openly accused the latter of thwarting efforts to transfer domains away from them. On its face value, this looks like a very serious charge against GoDaddy and completely against the ICANN rules.
Namecheap's community manager, Tamar, explains in her blog post that
"GoDaddy appears to be returning incomplete WHOIS information to Namecheap, delaying the transfer process"
Not returning the complete WHOIS information will force other domain registrars like Namecheap to manually process every individual domain transfer request by directly contacting the domain owner. GoDaddy might claim this as a bug (nice timing!) and intends to utilize the time delay to call up customers begging them to stay back.
It must be noted that Namecheap is the only registrar to accuse GoDaddy of playing dirty at this point of time. Namecheap has some real sweet words to say to their beloved competitors.
"It's a shame that GoDaddy feels they have to block their (former) customers from voting with their dollars. We can only guess that at GoDaddy, desperate times call for desperate measures."
This is just not done GoDaddy. We would have loved to give you the benefit of doubt here if not for what you and your PR team have done over the past week or so.
Update: GoDaddy claims that it was merely a "Normal" Rate limiting block imposed on Namecheap's IPs and accuses them of not getting in touch before going public. Namecheap confirms that the rate limiting block is now lifted and domain transfers are going through faster.

Review Thursday: Bulldog Drummond Escapes
Bulldog Drummond Escapes (1939)
Ray Milland As Capt. Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond
Heather Angel As Phyllis Clavering
Reginald Denny As Algy Longworth
E.E. Clive As 'Tenny' Tennison
Directed by James P. Hogan
Runs 67 mins, Black and White
Set right after the First World War, this film introduces Hugh 'Bulldog' Drummond, a tough, aristocratic hero with a stiff upper lip and a penchant for getting into and solcing murder mysteries.
In this one Bulldog meets a girl in the dark of night, and discovers she is being held by a mysterious guardian who's up to no good. Of course Bulldog has to leap into action!
What I love about this is the blend of action and the excellent humour, especially Tenny, the butler. Also, Bulldog's girlfriend Phyllis is tough and not afraid to bash the bad guys over the head when needed. Really, this is great fun and well worth seeing.
This film is in the public domain and can be downloaded from the Internet Archive here.

A hurricane in the Pacific has boosted waves in local waters this weekend.
Lifeguards said swells from Hurricane Celia are creating larger waves on south-facing beaches, including Wind and Sea Beach in La Jolla.
Costa Mesa resdident Matt Yount woke up at 3:30 a.m. Saturday expecting a larger surf.
"It's a hurricane and the bigger swells. It's above my head so it's gonna be good," he said, before jumping into the water.
Wind and Sea Surf Club member J.P. Marengo enjoyed the larger waves.
"It's pretty good. Usually this time of year the waves are much smaller," he said.
Marengo called the waves 'peaky' and 'challenging'.
San Diego Lifeguard Sergeant Ben Lewis expects the peak swells from Hurricane Celia to reach the San Diego coast on Sunday afternoon.
"We are anticipating some increased energy and movement (in the water) which means stronger rip currents and the possibility of more rescues," he said.
Rip currents are powerful currents that can pull people from the coast into the ocean. In March, an 18 year old was pulled out to sea by a strong rip current off Torrey Pines Beach and was never found.
Lifeguards said you'll know if you're in a rip current when you suddenly find your self in deep water and further away from the beach.
"Do your best to remain calm, swim parallel to the beach, because that will get you out of the current and onto the sandbar where the waves will help push you back on to the beach," said Lewis.

There are many reasons why a tooth or teeth can fail and require removal. Decay, age, or dental trauma all contribute to ultimate tooth failure and the need for reliable dental prosthetics. Dental implants have created a way for patients with missing teeth to enjoy restored smiles and regain healthy function and aesthetics.At Smileneeds Dental, Dr. Mariano Castro provides dental implant services in Upland to help patients smile with confidence for years to come.
A dental implant consists of a titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a tooth's natural root. During the healing process, the implant fuses with the existing tissue, becoming stable and durable. Once the implant has properly healed, it can serve as a foundation for many restorations, including:
Single tooth replacement: A dental implant can be used to replace one tooth, whether that tooth was lost to several failed root canals or was knocked-out on accident. Single implant posts are capped with a ceramic crown to become indistinguishable from the surrounding, natural teeth.
Multiple teeth replacement: When a group of teeth is missing, two or more implants are placed and topped with crown restorations or can be used to anchor a dental bridge. Implant bridges are not damaging to natural teeth and structures, like a traditional, cemented prosthetic.
Implant-supported dentures: Patients who are unhappy with their dentures can benefit from permanent and stabilized new teeth. Four or more dental implants are placed to secure a full arch denture, creating a secure prosthetic that rests comfortably atop the gum line and simply snaps in and out of place.
Choosing dental implants benefits your oral health and protects existing teeth. Preparation for dental implants does not require altering healthy teeth, and dental implants do not negatively impact tissues. These secure and lasting teeth replacement will be a part of your time for years – even your entire lifetime – with proper care.
During your initial consultation, Dr. Castro assesses your medical history and takes X-rays to determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants. At Smileneeds Dental, we complete all parts of your treatment process in-house, from your evaluation to dental surgery and implant restoration. Dr. Castro works with a local specialist who visits our office at the time of your appointment to surgically place the dental implants; referrals to outside offices are not necessary. Implant treatment from SmileNeeds is affordable. If you have questions about the cost of dental implants, please don't hesitate to speak to a member of our team. We accept CareCredit and are committed to making your treatment plan fit your needs and goals
If you would like more information about dental implants, contact Dr. Mariano Castro at SmileNeeds dental today. Let our team help you discover why our Upland implant patients love their new smiles.

Melody has cerebral palsy and sits in a wheelchair. She needs to be fed and can't hold a cut on her own. Melody can communicate with small gestures and pointing to words on her board, but in her entire eleven years, she has never spoken a word. Assuming she is also cognitively impaired, her fellow students and even her teacher aren't very respectful. When Melody acquires a computer that helps her communicate, people begin to understand how smart she is, but that still doesn't mean that everyone accepts her or treats her nicely.
Draper also wrote the amazing book, Copper Sun, the tale of a fifteen year old girl, captured by slavers in her village in Africa, sent by ship to America and sold as a slave. I highly recommend both titles. Excellent for a lit circle.

Compact Transformers in Urban Areas Rely on Nomex® Insulation
Noise is a major concern for transformers in urban areas. When Gaz Electricité de Grenoble (GEG) needed a low-noise transformer with a higher power rating to fit in an existing substation located in a densely populated area, the utility chose a liquid-immersed transformer with a hybrid insulation system utilizing DuPont™ Nomex® brand insulation.
Application Description
GEG, the power utility in southeastern France, is responsible for many transformers in urban areas. When GEG needed to replace an aging 10 MVA (63 kV/5kV) transformer in the city center of Grenoble, the replacement unit had to be a low-noise transformer with a much higher rating than the previous transformer. It also had to fit in the existing substation, so the dimensions were strictly limited.
"Transformers to be located in densely populated urban areas must meet all the usual technical requirements such as size, weight, overload capacity, safety and reliability. In addition, noise is a major constraint," explained Jean-Paul Giraud, CEO of GEG.
GEG chose a 36 MVA (63 kV/21 kV) liquid-immersed transformer—with natural air ventilation to reduce noise—that uses a hybrid insulation system based on Nomex® insulation to allow higher temperature rise. Nomex® paper is used to insulate the conductors and Nomex® pressboard is used for spacers.
Benefits Gained
Low noise emissions: This transformer does not generate the unacceptable noise levels of transformers with forced ventilation systems and the use of Nomex® insulation helps ensure that it operates reliably at full load with only the existing air-entry points in the substation.
Compact size: This transformer with hybrid insulation of Nomex® paper and pressboard is smaller and lighter weight for the given power rating than most conventionally insulated units, enabling GEG to install a low-noise transformer with a much higher rating in the existing substation.
Reliability: The use of Nomex® insulation helps this low-noise transformer take load variations and overloads in stride, helping to ensure uninterrupted delivery of electricity to the homes and businesses in Grenoble.
Safety in use: Transformers in urban areas with hybrid insulation of Nomex® paper and pressboard operate safely and reliably, even with winding temperature rises of more than 65 K.
Materials Selected and Why
The use of a hybrid insulation system based on Nomex® paper and pressboard allows this low-noise transformer to have the significantly higher power rating required by GEG while being small enough to fit in the existing substation—a power-to-size ratio not possible with most conventionally insulated units.
Nomex® insulation provides reliable, long-term service even under challenging conditions. It has a proven ability to withstand overloads and features excellent thermal stability. In addition, this hybrid insulation system—Nomex® paper on the conductors and Nomex® pressboard for the spacers—meets IEC 60076-14, an important consideration for this electricity utility.
Hybrid Transformer Scores a European First at GEG

Sharks Finally Gain Momentum
by Erik Watkins
Let's face it, for the Jacksonville Sharks, if you take into account the wins that should've been losses and losses that should've been wins, 3-5 is about where they should be. However, with only eight weeks gone, they have indeed shown that there's a lot of football left to play.
For starters: Cleveland. The Gladiators are using the 2015 season to prove to the critics that their 17-1 campaign that led to ArenaBowl XXVII was no fluke. So far, while the naysayers have stuck around, they're fewer and farther between. Cleveland came into the game at 4-2 having won consecutive games for the second time this season. Jacksonville, desperate to keep pace with their fellow Florida teams, needed to win in part to save their coach's job.
Things started out mixed for Jacksonville, as a turnover on downs led to the Gladiators getting on the scoreboard first. The Sharks were able to trade scores, and Alvin Ray Jackson's interception to end the half gave Jacksonville life, trailing 21-19 due to Julian Rauch's first two misses on extra points as a Shark.
Much like in the win against Vegas and the loss to the Storm, stops started coming in bunches. This time, like two weeks prior, Jacksonville's defense stepped up. After Derrick Ross, who during the game became the first player ever to run for 2,500 yards in an Arena Football League career, scored his second touchdown of the night, Joe Sykes gave the league a reminder of how formidable the Sharks front line can be. Sykes sacked QB Shane Austin to earn his league-leading seventh sack of the season, forced an Austin fumble, and DB LaRoche "Action" Jackson lived up to his nickname and pounced on the loose ball, turning it over from his former team to his current (and former former, as it happens) team. From there, new Shark Prechae Rodriguez, earning his first start in the place of Jeron Harvey (coach's decision), caught a TD pass from Tommy Grady to extend the lead to 33-21.
On the ensuing drive, another new Shark, DB Greg Reid, caught his second interception of the night and his Jacksonville career to set up another score and an 18-point lead. Cleveland fought hard with back-to-back scores of their own, but despite a Julian Rauch missed field goal, the Sharks held on to get their first road win of the season and improved their record to 2-5.
For all the on-field drama, there were a few things brewing off the field for Jacksonville. Thanks to a couple lackluster performances, head coach Les Moss opted to sit Jeron Harvey, giving new Shark Prechae Rodriguez his wish and letting him start. It paid off immediately with eight catches and 75 yards against Cleveland, and earned him a second starting nod. Moss also had an unfortunate incident of his own. He was swimming in his neighbor's pool over the weekend, and stepped out onto some hot concrete, suffering third-degree burns. The doctor ordered him to stay off his feet for the next several weeks, forcing him to watch practice from his car and coach from an upstairs booth.
It was a tumultuous week leading up to the game against Philadelphia, but it didn't stop Jacksonville from looking for the best cure of all: a win. The 7-0 Soul wouldn't make it easy, but the crowd of 9,465 that showed up for Military Appreciation Night certainly got their money's worth.
It was another inauspicious start, as the Sharks defense couldn't get off the field on 4th and 1, allowing a 31-yard strike from Dan Raudabaugh to Marco Thomas. Jacksonville bounced back to score 10 straight points. Prechae Rodriguez continued his form to get the Sharks near the goalline, and after Derrick Ross committed a rare fumble, the other former Philadelphia player, Tiger Jones, scored on 4th and 8 to tie the game. Following a 4th down drop, Julian Rauch bounced back from an awful night in Cleveland to kick a 28 yard field goal.
Greg Reid also made sure his presence was known, nearly intercepting Raudabaugh on first down and breaking up a second down pass. Despite giving up another fourth down score, Jacksonville was undeterred. Action Jackson gave the special teams a boost (he had 91 yards on 5 kick returns for the night), and Joe Hills started and ended the drive with two big catches to retake the lead for Jacksonville.
The last 90 seconds of the first half provided a little controversy. Following Marco Thomas' second score of the night, Philadelphia faked the extra point, went for two, and failed. Then, they challenged the call of fan interference on the onside kick (which Ryan McDaniel recovered on a ricochet off of a fan's arm. After the challenge was upheld, Mogut Ruffins scored his first touchdown of the season. A failed onside kick gave the Soul a chance at a halftime lead, but Greg Reid forced his second fumble of the night. Julian Rauch had a long field goal attempt late, but intentionally kicked it out of bounds to keep the Sharks lead at 24-20.
Jacksonville had one last defensive stand, with Action Jackson intercepting Raudabaugh's pass, but another Rauch miss kept the status quo. The kick wasn't without excitement, as Derrick Ross got a small measure of payback by leveling the kick returner in the end zone to end the half.
The teams continued to trade scores throughout the third quarter and into the fourth quarter, and the calls started to go against the Sharks as the fourth quarter started. First, the referees missed a horsecollar tackle on Action Jackson on the kick return, and Ryan McDaniel caught a 4th-and-5 pass off of the top of the boards when the ball should have been ruled dead. McDaniel scored two plays later to put Philadelphia within five at 45-40. Prechae Rodriguez shook a defender on a 28-yard catch and run to regain the two-score advantage, but the Soul found the end zone at the one-minute warning to keep the game too close for comfort.
After Joe Hills recovered the onside kick, the Philadelphia defense mustered one last fight, sacking Tommy Grady to force 3rd and 23. Finally, Julian Rauch, looking to make amends once and for all, hit a 40 yard field goal to seal the win.
After the game, the mood and body language was the lightest of the entire season. Mogut Ruffins, coming off his first score, acknowledged the struggle. "We fought hard. The guys are improving, and we know what we have to do to get tough wins. We hear the title talk, we try to ignore it. There's a new group together, and it feels good to finally see the team perform." He also recognized his new role in doing whatever it takes to get the win.
Julian Rauch, who made all seven extra points and two of his four field goal attempts, wanted to get Cleveland's disaster behind him. "You have to worry about every point, and kicks are a big deal. Last week was rough, and I was anxious to kick." He noted that there's always room to build, and credited a good snap and hold on his 40-yarder to seal the game.
Derrick Ross, who beat his old team for the first time, summed up the win in five words: "It feels awesome! We ballin'!" He also said he was going to enjoy and celebrate the win. "I'll worry about New Orleans on Tuesday. It feels good to beat two great teams, and we're getting better and better." While recognizing his milestone against the Gladiators, he knew that it was a team effort. "I won't get on my high horse."
Next up, New Orleans. While the VooDoo walked away with a season-opening win, these Sharks are proving they have much more bite than the team that took the field seven weeks ago. With a two-game road trip before hosting Orlando on June 6, if this continues, that meeting could well determine first place in the South division, and bring the title talk back to Jacksonville.

... The ancient path of tantra was born out of a realization that when we human beings join our energy together, we have access to a power greater than the sum of our individual parts. Taking that concept one step further, we have gained access to the creative force or life force of the cosmos. The instinct towards the drive for close physical connection is illustrated so beautifully in the story of these just days old twins, these tiny womb-mates.
For many people in our modern society, the word tantra may bring up notions of strange sexual rituals and of a culture that fell to its demise through overindulgence in the physical senses. But in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The tantric path was a path that encouraged balance, love and empowerment in every aspect of life. And as a life affirmative path, it nourished a healthy, and even sacred attitude towards sexuality, since sexuality IS the source of all of our lives. Today, we are flooded with images of sexuality everywhere we look. But is deep soul connected intimacy really happening for many of us? Read more
Tantra teaches that lovemaking between a man and woman, when entered into with awareness, is a gateway to both sexual and spiritual ecstasy.

Tantra: An Ancient Spiritual Path For Self Healing
Tantra teaches couples how to become more intimate by developing strong physical, emotional, and spiritual connections to their partners. Intimacy is linked with feelings of closeness, safety, and trust, and, according to Dr. Dean Ornish, "I am not aware of any other factor in medicine, not diet, not smoking, not exercise, not stress, not genetics, not drugs, not surgery, that has a greater impact on our quality of life, incidence of illness and premature death from all causes."

If an email advertises or promotes the goods, services, or websites of more than one marketer, there's a straightforward method for determining who's responsible for the duties the CAN-SPAM Act imposes on "senders" of commercial email. Marketers whose goods, services, or websites are advertised or promoted in a message can designate one of the marketers as the "sender" for purposes of CAN-SPAM compliance as long as the designated sender:
- meets the CAN-SPAM Act's definition of "sender," meaning that they initiate a commercial message • advertising or promoting their own goods, services, or website;
- is specifically identified in the "from" line of the message; and
- complies with the "initiator" provisions of the Act – for example, making sure the email does • not contain deceptive transmission information or a deceptive subject heading, and ensuring that the email includes a valid postal address, a working opt-out link, and proper identification of the message's commercial or sexually explicit nature.
If the designated sender doesn't comply with the responsibilities the law gives to initiators, all marketers in the message may be held liable as senders.

Preparing to Study Abroad
After you have applied for a study abroad program and been accepted, you will need to prepare for your experience.
In general, the more effort you put into your pre-departure research, the more rewarding your experience will be. This list of topics is by no means comprehensive, but it should get you started on your pre-departure planning.
Obtaining a Passport
Almost all travel outside of the United States requires a passport. If you are applying for your first passport, you will need to make the application in person; you can do this at your local post office. Passport forms and other information can be found at The Department of State website. If you already have a passport, it is a good idea to verify that it will be valid for at least six months after you intend to finish your program abroad.
Obtaining a Visa
Participation in many study abroad programs also requires a visa from the country where you intend to study. Your visa acts as your permission to enter the country as a student. If you intend to arrive in the country early or stay after your program ends you may need a separate visa for doing that as well. Because every country has different visa regulations, it is important for you to verify that you have the right visa to enter for your program and/or stay on as a visitor. The Department of State can provide some information on the visa regulations for different countries, but the information is subject to change, so you should always verify the information with the Embassy or Consulate of the country or countries you intend to visit.
Travel Arrangements
Although many of the summer study abroad programs make travel arrangements for all participants, most of the semester or year abroad programs do not. You will need to make travel arrangements well in advance to be sure to have arrival dates that meet the host program requirements. Even if you intend to stay in the country you visit for an indeterminate length of time after you finish your program, it is a good idea to get open-ended round trip tickets rather than one-way tickets. Many governments require that you have a round trip or onward ticket before entering the country.
Health and Safety
It is a good idea to consult the Department of State's most current Consular Information Sheet and searching for the country you will be visiting for health related issues and relevant safety advisories.
Department of State Travel Warnings are issued when the State Department decides, based on all relevant information, to recommend that Americans avoid travel to a certain country. Countries where avoidance of travel is recommended will have Travel Warnings as well as Consular Information Sheets.
Check with your health insurance provider to find out if you are covered while you are abroad, and if so, how the insurance works. Will you be required to pay any fees up front and get reimbursed when you return? Will payments be made directly to the provider? If possible, obtain a copy of your policy in the language of the country you will visit.
Host Country and Culture Information
The Department of State's Consular Information Sheet are regularly updated and contain general information on every country such as location of the U.S. embassy or consulate in the subject country, unusual immigration practices, health conditions, minor political disturbances, unusual currency and entry regulations, crime and security information. This is a good start on researching the country and culture you will visit, but it is by no means comprehensive for the student traveler.
Visit the bookstore, the library, and the internet for resources on your host country and culture. Even if you are doing and English-language program, it is helpful to learn at least basic phrases in the language(s) of your host country; the more you are able to communicate, the better you will be able to navigate physically, culturally, and emotionally in your host country and the richer your experience will be.
American Culture Information
It may surprise you to learn how much you don't know about American culture and history. Americans abroad are often asked detailed questions about our culture, history, foreign and domestic policy, customs, and other aspects of America. Many of us are unprepared for this, many of us don't even realize that "yes, we do have a culture." Before you leave, consider that you are an ambassador for your home country, and others will be learning about America through you. Spend some time reviewing American history and examining your own cultural values before you go, so that you are prepared to teach (or at least give your informed opinion) as well as to learn.

It has been two years since I've published my extensive review of the A7R II and I wanted to share what I think of the camera, after having owned it for roughly 730 days. And now that the A9 has come out it seems like an even more perfect timing.
Sony's photo division was very aggressive in developing and reiterating their technology at such a fast pace, that they made a big dent in the photography world. As of today, their market share is still growing, like in the US, where they have overtaken Nikon in the full-frame camera market.
All following image samples have been shot using the A7R II.
There has been a lot of hype around the Alpha 7R2, but hype is not always a good thing, because it has the potential to alter expectations and even turn us into picking a side. There have been many defenders of other brands that didn't speak well of the popular all-round camera. For instance, I know for myself that I have never liked hype in gaming or movie releases, and I even dislike it in music. As very often hype doesn't build around the product itself, but around something more adjacent. Rarely does the hype emanate from the very substance of an end product (but e.g. from the well-made body or the behavior of an artist, instead of the music itself).
So, what happened is that we got inflated and overly positive reviews, because, for a reason, reviewers wanted to tell the world that this piece of gear is, despite its flaws, really worth it. But what of it now? What's the verdict after all this time, and what are the alternatives (even from other brands) that have come out since then? Had there been a reason for hype? Let's find out!
Full frame 42,4MP sensor
5 axis IBIS
Enhanced Eye AF
4K video with FF readout, XAVC 100 Mbps
Digital viewfinder
No sound silent shooting mode
Since the A7R2 has been out, many new lenses (and especially bigger and heavier ones) have been released. I was really happy with the better balance the second camera models had over the former ones when attaching 55 1.8 and even 16-35 style lenses, but with time came Batis and GM lenses that, in my opinion, resulted in an inferior handling experience.
I am the type of user that liked the original A7 form factor for its portability. Having such a small and light FF camera was what got me into the FE mount and sell my Canon 5DM3. But it looks like a large river of pro photographers' tears has flooded Sony HQ, because they sadly make them bigger and bigger / heavier and heavier now, not differentiating themselves enough from the likes of Canon in my opinion (except for having the best sensor and video capabilities).
Even after all this time, I find that the A7RII still focuses very well in many situations.
But frankly: You really have to know how. What I mean by that is that you have to know your camera by heart, so that you can adapt and change to the right focusing mode at any given time. If you don't, then the focus might be off or you may miss some shots. The modes to use are not always the ones you would intuitively choose, so you have to test around like I did here.
I'll get to the point instantly on this one: I don't like it (any more?).
They say it's not about the destination but about the journey. That said, I absolutely love the result, but not everything that I have to do to get there.
The thing that I really like about my cam is what this unmatched sensor is delivering. It is still the best sensor on the market as shows DXO right here. And as you may know, Sony sensors aren't exclusively built into their own products, but have been used in devices such as Nikon DSLRs cameras, the Apple iPhone, Samsung smartphones etc., which does speak for their superior quality.
But to get back to my "it's about the journey" point, the camera is a little slow: the menus are sluggish, the startup is not the fastest, changing modes is slow and it drives me a little nuts. But hey, the above-mentioned A9 is here to save the day regarding these issues, but it comes at a cost (not the same high res sensor and a steep price tag).
When I wish to take quick shots in a setting that diverges from one of my usual "memory" modes, then, well…nothing. I just miss it. And if it is nothing that I could miss that rapidly (like landscapes), then I must admit that I don't really have fun fiddling with these slowly reacting menus and modes.
Nevertheless, the end-result is still marvellous. The pictures you take with this beast are simply jaw-dropping. Yes, even after 2 years this little box still delivers.
The ILCE-7RM2 came with many small issues that have been fixed in the meantime. Installing the latest firmware gets rid of many of them, like the overheating, the hot pixels etc. But not only do the FW updates fix said problems, they also improve the startup time, the stability, RAW capabilities, the responsiveness and more.
That's how this section could have ended, haha. No camera really falls into this category.
The Nikon 800 series is bigger, heavier and more expensive with no comparable video capabilities; and it seems like Canon is not even in the same market anymore. Everything micro 4/3 or Fuji target yet another demographic and I can't really make Leica, Ricoh and similar other brands count, as they yet again, just aren't in the same category (except for the obvious: you can take photographs with all of them).
The whole FE mount Alpha line is just very unique in its way, but not only that, they also seem to remain unmatched in many categories they fall into.
No camera has matched the overall image quality of the A7 Mark II and while it isn't the most fun to use, the results more than make up for it. The high dynamic range, the leverage in the RAW files, the ISO performance, the video capabilities and the resolution along with a great selection of lenses still make this one of the best cameras around.
I'd surely prefer one of Fuji's neat cams in terms of usage and handling, or even something like the A6500 (which sadly aren't FF), but as I've stated several times: The rendition of the pictures is just plain awesome. In a perfect world, we'd have the A9 focusing system along with the A7RII sensor for only 1999 €/$. Insert clapping and laughing sounds.
Thank you so much for hanging around on my site. If you liked this post then I would appreciate a thumbs up (it seems like I don't even have a thumbs up button, but I guess you could just raise your hand and literally hold your thumb up). In all seriousness, It would be great if you'd push some like button and interact in the comment section! 🙂
Everything has been written and shot using my gear.

Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor (Viking)
In the wake of many young adult books that feature kids with magical powers, Okorafor's voice is a refreshing standout. Sunny is an American-born child of Nigerians who have moved back home to West Africa. She is unique in many ways, one of them being she is an "Akata," a derogatory term for an American born black. She is also an albino. As if this isn't enough, she soon learns she is a "leopard person," someone possessing magical abilities, and is a strong one at that. On a quest to defeat an evil criminal, she is accompanied by Chichi, a sharp-tongued girl who seemingly knows no fear, Orlu, the down-to earth boy with watchful eyes and a warning always at hand, and the care-free African American, Sasha, who Sunny may or may not have a little crush on. Akata Witch is rich in West African spirituality and captivating adventure. –Shannon
The Emerald Atlas by John Stephens (Knopf)
Ten years ago, Kate, Michael, and Emma were spirited away from their parents in order to protect them from an unknown evil. Moved from one orphanage to the next, the siblings survived by helping one another and holding out hope that one day their parents would come for them. Now, after moving to an orphanage in a remote village in upstate New York, the siblings meet the enigmatic Dr. Pym and come face to face with the stunning secret that has followed them for the last decade. A wonderful mix of humor and magic, Stephens's debut will thrill fantasy fans of all ages. –Casey S.
Lost & Found by Shaun Tan (Arthur A. Levine)
Lost & Found is an extraordinary collection of three thematically related and thought provoking stories beautifully illustrated and told by Shaun Tan. In "The Red Tree," a girl finds hope and beauty in a world of darkness and despair. "The Lost Thing" journals a boy's unique experience as he helps a strange alien creature find belonging and happiness. And "The Rabbits" tells the fate of an old world lost at the arrival of a new invading species. These imaginative stories are movingly narrated and exquisitely presented, creating a weird and wonderful experience for all ages. –David
World Without Fish by Mark Kurlansky, illus. by Frank Stockton (Workman)
Mark Kurlansky has utilized his thorough research skills to create a book that all ages can read, enjoy, and benefit from. World Without Fish is a sobering yet creative and comprehensive account of the current threat facing fish and mammals. This is a great book for the whole family—the writing is straightforward yet gentle, and there are cartoons, illustrations, and photos. Kurlansky covers everything one needs to know to get a full understanding of the dangers our oceans face: over-fishing, by-catch risks, global warming effects, far-reaching impacts of extinction, the positive repercussions of sustainable fishing, and more. Terms are defined, and cause and effect are clearly and simply explained. It's a tough subject, but an important one, and this is the book that will educate your whole family. –Hilary

This is just a quick post celebrating something that I hope you know (by now atleast) I believe in.
Puma have dropped a new line of clothes and they're great, but this isn't about where you can buy the range (JD Sports) but really it is about the hashtag that accompanies this new line.
I took these pictures a little while ago, definitely on a day that I was feeling particularly snazzy.
Yes I think the new Puma range is cute and lovely to wear but this post is a little more than that. I actually attempted to wear this set a few days after this shoot (after a wash of course) and it didn't fit the same, now I don't know if this is because I inexplicably gained weight in those 3 days or if my mind had just decided that I was fatter? (The question mark is there because I am still trying to wok this out)
I don't know if it is just me but I definitely go through phases of self acceptance. I hope it isn't just me. One day I am posting a picture of my bare, freckly face on Instagram & loving it and other days I'm seriously considering FaceTune as a legitimate editing tool.
I try to portray an honest image online, not that I post crying selfies (I'm not gonna lie; I find these odd) but I try to show people the real side of what I do. Be it blogging, presenting, DJing; I don't just want to be this unobtainable person, which I could even imagine being.
I don't know why but I feel obliged to show the flip side of what can seem like a lovely shiny coin, because not everyone wakes up every day with the ability to immediately be incredible! For most of us (even if its only sometimes) it can take a bit of work.
I guess my point when writing this is that sometimes 'doing me' isn't being the most fabulous version of Yinkdaddy, but knowing that just because I have a rubbish body-image day or a bad day at work; there are still fabulous days on the horizon! Lol
So however you feel today, be it super sparkly and delicious or if you feel like a crusty foot. Do it with pride because no one can #DoYou like you can!

Narayanpet Olive Green Small Checks Maroon Border Pure Cotton Saree
The legend says that the weavers left behind by Chattrapati Shivaji upon camping in the region paved way for the Traditional, Ceremonial and Auspicious Narayanpet Sarees.
The Narayanpet Sarees are woven with cotton or silk yarn. Both the warp and weft yarn is either cotton or silk yarn or a mix of them. In cases where they are mixed, the warp is pure silk yarn and the weft is pure cotton yarn. The cotton used is of 80s count.
The Narayanpet Saree consists of the i) body, ii) pallu, and iii) the border. In all the sarees i.e. either cotton, silk, or mix of these two, the minimum length of the pallu is 60cms.
In these sarees no other design of flora or fauna or any other design/motif is woven. The temple design in the border is yet another unique feature which is present in all silk sarees. The presence of temple border is not compulsory for cotton sarees. The presence of arrow heads in the pallu in silk sarees is another unique feature, though not present in cotton sarees.
The Narayanpet Sarees are very popular in the state of Maharashtra, where it is still considered auspicious to wear these sarees. These sarees are also offered to Goddesses.
- The pallu and border have zari work.
- The body of the saree has checks. The presence of checks and absence of any other design apart from checks, in the body of the cotton is a unique feature .
- The sarees are worn by the women folk on traditional, ceremonial and religious occasions.
- Geographical & climatic conditions add to the refinement of the desired shades of colors.

MPEG LA Asks Patent Owners To Report Google Patent Use
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
In a move that seriously complicates things for Google's plan for high-quality, patent-free, open source web video, MPEG LA has asked patent owners to report any patents that Google's VP8 video technology utilizes.
According to MPEG LA, they are taking this step as part of a move toward the ability to provide a license, stating that they are "offer[ing] to facilitate development of a joint license to provide coverage under essential patents."
For some, such as those who are focusing on VP8 and related WebM video technology, the news might be good. For others, it simply raises doubts that the technology will ever be available to those who don't sign such a license, leaving them high and dry.

from ap: William Safire, the conservative columnist and word warrior who feared no politician or corner of the English language, died Sunday. He was 79. The Pulitzer Prize winner died at a hospice in Rockville, Md. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, family friend Martin Tolchin said.
Safire spent more than 30 years writing on the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. In his "On Language" column in The New York Times Magazine and more than a dozen books, Safire traced the origins of words and everyday phrases such as "straw man," "under the bus" and "the proof is in the pudding." ...
Safire penned more than 3,000 columns, aggressively defending civil liberties and Israel while tangling with political figures. Bill Clinton famously wanted to punch the curmudgeonly columnist in the nose after Safire called his wife "a congenital liar." ...
As a speechwriter in the Nixon White House, Safire penned Vice President Spiro Agnew's famous phrase, "nattering nabobs of negativism," a tongue-in-cheek alliteration that Safire claimed was directed not at the press but at Vietnam defeatists.
