By Clement Ong
Last week, the Supreme Court of the United States laid down a controversial decision on marriage equality. Some argued it was a landmark decision, and some disagreed.
I have no intention to discuss the merit of the decision in this writing; however it is a strategic time for me to reassess the raison d'etre of the law.
For this, I reread "The Law" – a book authored in 1850 by Claude Frederic Bastiat, a classical liberal theorist.
The Purpose of Law
"The purpose of the law is to prevent injustice from reigning," said by Bastiat. Justice is achieved only when injustice is absent.
Law keeps a person within the bounds of justice, and it imposes nothing but a mere negation. The law obliges the people only to abstain from harming others.
Thus, law is defensive – it defends equally the rights of all.
The Legislative Functions
Some argued it is not the business of the judiciary to make laws; but it is the business of a democratically elected legislature.
While leaving the above argument to legal pundits on the powers of judiciary, I am more interested to discuss the functions of legislature.
Bastiat said, "It is not true that the function of law is to regulate our consciences, our ideas, our wills, our education, our opinions, our work, our trade, our talents our pleasures. The function of law is to protect the free exercise of these rights, and to prevent any person from interfering with the free exercise of these same rights by any other person."
Therefore the law shall never be a tool of oppression of majority against the minority.
Law and Justice
Some argued the law shall reflect the views of the majority, and the justice shall be felt by mankind.
Bastiat had a different perception. He believed, "Law is the common force organized to act as an obstacle to injustice. Law is solely the organization of the individual right of self-defense which existed before law was formalized. Law is justice."
If we agree the right to marriage is universal, and it is just for one to exercise his right freely – then the law shall not act as an obstacle.
The Liberty and Freedom
Last but not least, let us look into the individual liberty and freedom.
Bastiat asked, "Is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long he does not harm other persons while doing so?"
In the same tone, the late Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr, an American jurist once said, "The right to swing my fist ends where the other man's nose begins".
Perhaps, we should ask ourselves – "When we exercise our right to marriage, do we harm others; and when others exercise their right to marriage, do them harm us?"
End Note
If you find my writing is offensive, then allow me to reiterate the following declaration from Bastiat.
"I declare that I do not mean to attack the intentions or the morality of anyone. Rather, I am attacking an idea which I believe to be false; a system which appears to me to be unjust; an injustice so independent of personal intentions that each of us profits from it without wishing to do so, and suffers from it without knowing the cause of the suffering."

How to Restore a Stamp
To prevent damage to the stamp the chlorine should be very lightly diluted and the stamp must be rinsed after treatment. Better to undertreat than overtreat. Damage, due to over-chorlinization will not be obvious right away but will soon show as time passes, chlorine destroys paper fibers, so be careful. Practice on a few worthless toned stamps before attempting it on anything valuable. This treatment works great for toned covers to.
Do not EVER put chlorine on any 3 cent 1861 stamp. It could change the color and create a fraudulent stamp, not to mention the risk to the stamp. There are delayed effects and if you sell it you will be selling a stamp that either is not the color it appears or will self-destruct or both. Further, do not buy a stamp that is toned with the expectation that you can fix it.
Peroxide from the drug store does remove oxidation/sulpheretting (mostly) and does reduce toning to so degree sometimes. Do not put peroxide on a lavender pink - you will end up with a much more ordinary stamp. It is doubtful that this is due to the reduction of sulpheretting but seems to be due an interaction with some other part of the formulation that is responsible for the eerie appearance of this stamp, For this reason - I would keep peroxide away from these stamps in nearly every instance.
That musty smell that you get when you open that old album is the smell of bacteria (microscopic protozoans called infusoria). So yes, you can be thrilled about inheriting grandpas old collection, but at the same time, if you do not move to protect it, it will dissapear before your eyes. It's a slow process but bacteria will eat away at the paper and gum. Most bacteria feeds off the gum and the simplest way to stop the decaying process is to soak off the gum. But for most of you this will be a drastic course of action.
If you do see that your prized stamp is indeed disentegrating, layer by layer, then formaldehyde vapors will arrest the decay. Stamps should be exposed to the vapors from this chemical, dried and then rinsed with a celluloid solution mixed with 1,000 parts of acetone. Make sure the room is well ventilated whilst doing this. The process should be repeated two or three times.
You can buy formaldehyde from Carolina Biological Supply Co., 2700 York Road, Burlington, NC, 27215. 1-800-334-5551. As for celluloid solution, maybe your local photography store can lead you in the right direction. Acetone is nail polish remover.

I want to know how you go about making friends!
We all move around rather frequently and many of us deal with numerous deployments and/or separations and sometimes this can lead to feeling pretty darn lonely.
I get numerous emails from newly married spouses asking how to make friends each time they move and how to 'fit into' the military community. What would your suggestions be and what works for you?
Do you go out and meet the neighbors or wait for them to 'welcome' you?
Do you make friends via your spouse's unit or family group?
Do you make friends at work or in volunteer settings?
Do you count on the friends and/or family you left behind to get you through?
Do you rely on the internet when making friends?
The list could go on and on.....so how do you make friends?

The China Auto Show 2012 is underway. Green cars are just a side note at the China Motor Show. Luxury cars and sports cars rule. The hottest new ride is the Lamborghini Urus - the BMW X6 for the very rich.
The Beijing Auto Show 2012 has opened and car makers from all over the world exhibit their fanciest cars. China is still a growing car market and it is also a big market for luxury cars. Each year the China Motor Show seems to become more attractive. Not just the cars, but also the hot models presenting the luxury rides in the show floor.
My favorite premier is the super hot Lamborghini Urus. It is still a concept, but I hope Lamborghini is turning the Urus concept into a production car soon.
Check out our large collection of photos from the Beijing Auto Show 2012 below in the gallery.

Would you wait in a queue for 8 hours to take the perfect "selfie"?
Infinity Mirrors, lining every inch from floor to ceiling with delicately lit, flickering LED bulbs; the souls of a million light-years away, so it would seem.
Yayoi Kusama's recent exhibition, "I Who have Arrived in Heaven", shown at New York's David Zwirner Gallery allowed viewer's to go in one at a time to capture this magical moment, gaining 2,586 hashtags for #DavidZwirner on Instagram, 1,045 for #DavidZwirnerGallery, and 1,354 for #IHaveArrivedinHeaven.
The on-off strobe effects of the bulbs create numerous repetitive patterns and reflections, suggesting endlessness and ultimately invoke concepts of life and death. She has stimulated a very contemporary set of nerve endings and her recent work dovetails with a surge in artwork designed to propel viewers into an out-of-body experience. The exhibition's title, I Who Have Arrived in Heaven, aims to reflect the artist's long-standing interest in cosmic realms, while at the same time presenting a link to her multi-talented past in artistic production, spanning from performance and architecture, to fashion and design.
The exhibition also includes three rooms dedicated to 27 of her minimalistic, pop art paintings, alluding to universal spheres, or basic life forms that highlight her unique amalgamation of representational and non-representational subject matter. These canvases seem to build on everything she has made or seen, including a wild panoply of world cultures. European peasant art, African art and children's art are just some of the precedents their packed surfaces evoke. Looking at the vibrant swirls and strokes it's as though Kusama is giving us an insight to her mind, I can't help but think of Jung's collective unconscious theory and Jackson Pollock's work, but also of an artist working at full tilt, using an immense image bank, overflowing with memories and thrills.

Leading US nuclear fuel company to file for bankruptcy
According to the plan the company will repay convertible bonds in October 2014 with $530 million raised from new equity and debt. The majority of creditors have approved, says Reuters.
During the restructuring process USEC intends to run business operations and to fulfill all obligations to suppliers, partners, clients and employees.
USEC, which had a market value of about $43 million as of Friday's close, has total debts of $640.4 million in cash and equivalents of $128.4 million as of September 30, according to Reuters data.
USEC operates the only US uranium enrichment plant in Paducah, Kentucky. The enterprise belongs to the US Ministry of Energy while USEC rents it. However in May, 2013 the company said it was forced to cease uranium enrichment because the Ministry of Energy considered the plant commercially unpromising.
Besides uranium enriching USEC was the contractor involved in the Megatons to Megawatts program for conversion of Russian weapon uranium into nuclear fuel for American power plants. The program began in 1994 and ended in December, 2013. In 2011 USEC and Russia's "Tekhsnabeksport" signed a long-term contract for delivering uranium enrichment services to US nuclear power plants until 2022. These deliveries have to partially fill in for the Megatons in Megawatts program ending in 2013.
USEC was founded in 1992 to provide enriched uranium for civilian nuclear power. In 1998 the company went public with IPO and listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
Currently the company is involved in the American Centrifuge project for highly efficient uranium enrichment gas centrifuge extraction into nuclear fuel. The company said in November that government funding for the $350 million project in Ohio would end in January.
Even with five nuclear reactors under construction in the south east United States, the nuclear industry is expected to lose a large share in the energy sector, especially after Japan's Fukushima disaster which raised concerns over nuclear safety. The demand for uranium is expected to decline, at least until new regulations limiting carbon emissions are put in place.

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY, VA-The Hampden-Sydney Tigers returned to the win column while splitting a conference doubleheader with the Eagles of Bridgewater College. Both games were back-and-forth throughout, with the Eagles taking a 7-5 win in game one, and the Tigers returning the favor with an 12-7 win in the second game. The Tigers now stand at 11-12 overall and 5-5 in ODAC play, while the Eagles are 16-12-1 on the season and 5-8 in conference.
It took two and a half innings to break the 0-0 tie in game one, and is was Jacob Bartlett (Chesterfield, VA/Matoaca) who helped get the Tigers on the board, batting in Cody Smith (Bristol, VA/Virginia HS) on an RBI-triple. Two batters later, Bartlett then scored on a base knock from Andrew Kasiski (Chesapeake, VA/Indian River).
The 2-0 lead was short lived though as Bridgewater used a pair of doubles to help score three runs in the top of the fourth, taking a 3-2 lead.
The Tigers continued the scoring into the bottom of the inning, and an RBI-single from Austin Spivak (Newport News, VA/Menchville) drove home Ryan Clawson (Moseley, VA/Cosby) to tie the game at 3-3.
The home team scored in its third consecutive inning, as an error by the pitcher allowed Bartlett to score for the second time in the game and give the Tigers the lead back at 4-3. Triesler then scored on an RBI from Kasiski to put the Tigers up 5-3 after five.
The back-and-forth scoring continued in the top of the seventh as the Eagles scored four runs to reclaim the lead at 7-5.
Eagle pitching then kept the Tigers at bay to secure the win for Bridgewater.
On the mound, Jimmy Butler (Roanoke, VA/Patrick Henry) went four innings, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks with a strikeout. Bradford Webb (Charlotte Court House, VA/Randolph Academy) allowed three runs on two hits and three walks with four strikeouts, and Trey Celata (Chesapeake, VA/Atlantic Shores Christian) surrendered a run on a hit and walk with two strikeouts in 2.2 innings.
Offensively, the Tigers had 11 hits to Bridgewater's six. Bartlett, Triesler, and Matthew Spagnolo (Glen Allen, VA/Deep Run) each had two hits.
In game two, the Tigers wasted no time getting on the board, scoring before the first out was recording and putting three runs on the board in the first, with Bartlett, Triesler, and Chase Counts (Virginia Beach, VA/Ocean Lakes) all scoring.
Bridgewater matched the three runs in the top of the second, but the Tigers reclaimed the lead in the bottom frame with Bartlett scoring Clawson on a sacrifice fly.
Bridgewater tied the game again with a run in the fourth.
The Tigers took the lead back with a run from Spagnolo as Clawson batted him in in the bottom of the sixth.
The lead flipped again in the seventh, with three runs from the Eagles putting Bridgewater up 7-5.
Counts tied the game back up in the bottom of the inning, with a two-RBI double.
Clawson then helped give the Tigers the lead in the eighth, batting in Spagnolo. Jayson Maitland (Colonial Heights, VA/Colonial Heights) then hit a bloop single to give the Tigers some insurance, scoring Tyler Blevins (Draper, VA/Pulaski). Bartlett then drove in two more to make it 11-7 in favor of the Tigers. Before the inning was over, Kasiski drove in one more run to give the Tigers their final five run cushion.
Chase Mayberry (Appomattox, VA/Appomattox) threw the first six innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks while fanning three batters. Evan Lester (Chester, VA/Thomas Dale) allowed three runs on three hits with a strikeout in 0.2 innings. Hayden Basse (Fairfax Station, VA/Bishop O'Connell) picked up the win while pitching 2.1 scoreless innings.
Offensively, the Tigers had 11 hits, with Triesler, Counts, Clawson, and Maitland all recording two.
The Tigers return to action Tuesday, April 10 as they hit the road to face Lynchburg College. First pitch is set for 3:00 PM.

OnBase AnyDoc helps Yankee Candle Fundraising keep up with growth
The Challenge
Yankee Candle Fundraising nearly quadrupled its business over the last five years. Using traditional catalogs and handwritten order forms was working for the company. But manual data entry, as well as sorting and storing the increasing amount of paper order forms, wasn't. The company needed a better way to manage orders coming in from school groups and non-profit organizations who raise money by selling Yankee Candle products.
OnBase AnyDoc solved all the problems that paper created.
The Solution
Yankee Candle Fundraising leveraged the OnBase AnyDoc solution to automate the scanning of order forms, minimizing manual data entry and storing them in one central place. With about 70 percent of the company's business coming from the education sector – groups of grade school through high school students – the solution's sophisticated hand print recognition functionality works wonders. Using OnBase AnyDoc, even crumpled paper with information crossed off or written in different colors of ink can be scanned into the system for validation. By keeping all of their order forms in one, secure location, staff spend less time looking for information and more time acting on it. Every day, Yankee Candle Fundraising customer service receives calls from parents asking for a copy of a form that a student has lost or misplaced. At one point, the company had to hire a full-time, seasonal employee to search through boxes and envelopes to find, photocopy and mail the duplicate order forms.

Buffalo Check: A Versatile CollectionOur newest collection, Buffalo Check, is incredibly versatile due to its oversized dimensions. The scarf itself is 33 inches wide by 78 inches in length and is our widest piece. All of our scarves are already designed to be longer than standard to accommodate additional methods for styling each piece. The extra width lends our Buffalo Check Collection to being both a scarf and a wrap! We've compiled style tips below to demonstrate the versatility and incredible style of these pieces.As a ScarfWhen wrapped around the neck, the extra width gives our Buffalo Check scarves a beautiful drape at the front. The 100% Merino wool weave is warm without being itchy. Ideal for Fall!As a WrapThe Buffalo Check collection can also be worn draped over the shoulders. At 33" wide, there is plenty of fabric to keep you warm and toasty on a chilly day.Do you know the history of the Buffalo Check pattern? Our collection is a modern take on the classic American pattern. The red and black Buffalo Plaid originally seen throughout the American West dating back to the 1800s actually hails from Clan McGregor in Scotland. Read our article on the full history to learn more!
The History of Buffalo CheckWhile many people think of Buffalo Plaid as a statement from the American West, its origins in fact hail from the Rob Roy tartan of Clan McGregor in Scotland. A descendent of the Scottish clan ultimately settled in Montana and brought with him the classic textile. This relative traded heavy woven blankets in the style of his family's infamous black and raid plaid tartan for buffalo pelts, giving way to the nickname "buffalo plaid."While we Americans refer to the pattern as plaid, the correct term is in fact tartan. It is said that the Cheyenne and Sioux warriors that traded with Jock McCluskey, the Scottish descendant in Montana, could not properly pronounce the Gaelic word pladger, meaning tartan, and instead referred to the textiles as plaid. The Indians were in awe of the deep red color in the original tartan and believed it to be dyed with the blood of McCluskey's prey and conquests. These American Indians wore this McGregor tartan in battle for protection and good luck.
Travel in Comfort & Style, Not Your PJs
The Ultimate Comfy Travel Outfit (that doesn't look like pajamas)
Just as our company mission statement conveys, we believe fashion should be both effortless and classic. When traveling long distances, this can sometimes be difficult to accomplish while also achieving the most important aspect of travelwear: COMFORT. Luckily, we've compiled the holy grail of travel attire that will leave you looking and feeling like a well seasoned travel pro!
My husband and I both love to travel. We've traveled to many different parts of the world, usually with just a carry-on suitcase no less, and one of the pre travel things I always dread is choosing the best outfit for the airplane. Over the years I've developed a rhythm and a science to packing for international travel and I'm excited to share it!
The Lo & Sons OMG bag is my absolute favorite international travel accessory. It has a strap to fit easily over the handle of your suitcase and all the right interior pockets for your essentials such as laptop, ipad, passports, wallets, and even separate pockets for spare flats!
As someone who isn't a fan of the constricting nature of denim, I tend to opt for a pair of comfortable leggings that are a bit more interesting than just a plain black. I love the moto inspired leggings by alo. They are cute, comfortable, and extra long which all tall girls will appreciate. I like to add a classic white t-shirt as my base top layer since it is so easy to mix and match with accessories. This one by Vince is made of quality fiber which is so important as no one wants a see through t-shirt!
Airplanes and airports are often over air-conditioned and completely freezing. Adding layers on top of your basic travel outfit is essential for keeping comfortable and cozy. Plus, you don't have to worry about packing these sometimes bulky items into your precious suitcase space.

Rainy Day Style
Sometimes a rainy day is exactly what the doctor ordered. We've curated a fun and functional set of accessories for the next time you are out and about exploring on a dreary and wet day.
A camel trench coat is a classic, must have piece in every woman's wardrobe. While I personally love neutrals, it transcends all styles and colors and can truly be worn with most every outfit. The black Sperry wellies combine a classic quilted look with a waterproof base. In inclement weather, functionality is of the essence! Our Lightweight Collection in Dark Grey fits perfectly into the color palette, won't be damaged if wet, and is not too heavy to be bulky or overly hot in the humidity. We are also loving this new Hunter umbrella is extra deep to keep you protected and dry from downpours.

How to Care for your Cashmere
The Complete Guide to Caring for your Cashmere
All wool materials have special properties unique to the specific type of fiber as well as the type of weave of the textile. One of the most iconic and recognizable woolen fibers is cashmere. Cashmere is a special material that, if cared for properly, will last for a very long time.
As with any natural fiber, it is imperative that you care for your cashmere carefully and with love in order to maximize its lifespan. A cashmere textile should last through countless seasons and wears if treated with care.
Common Cashmere Issues Include:
We are conditioned to think that pilling is a sign of low quality; however, this simply isn't the case. Pilling is a natural characteristic of cashmere due to the long fibres in the material. Using a product such as a cashmere comb or sweater stone can easily remove the pills and leave your cashmere looking good as new! A cashmere comb is ideal for more delicate weaves while the sweater stone is best suited for heavier knits and blankets. We recommend purchasing your cashmere care products from The Laundress.
The easiest way to remove fold lines and creases from your cashmere or knit textiles is by turning the piece inside out (if applicable) and ironing on the lowest setting. A clean, dry cloth should be placed between the iron and the cashmere to protect the textile. The iron should never come into direct contact with the wool fibers.
You can also use a handheld steamer on your cashmere but be sure to lay the piece flat to dry afterwards from any residual water from the steam.
Stain Removal
All stains to your woven wool/cashmere pieces should be taken to a specialist for removal. Never attempt to spot clean yourself as it may damage the fibers and cause the stain to "set" into the fabric.
While many sources suggest that your cashmere good may be handwashed, all of our Worthington Corners collections are woven textiles, and hand washing a delicately woven piece can lead to irreparable damage.
Storage Recommendations:
Never store your cashmere pieces on a hanger! Hanging a cashmere or wool garment can cause the fibers to stretch. When out of season, cashmere and wool textiles should be folded and placed in a breathable cotton bag and then stored in a cool, dry place. Preferably, in a spare room or top of a closet as opposed to under the bed. Placing a sheet of tissue paper between each piece also allows for any excess moisture to be absorbed.
Do not store wool in a plastic bag as wool is a natural fiber and needs to be able to breathe. The Laundress sells easy, zip-closure all purpose storage bags safe to for use with cashmere/wool or you can pick up natural cotton storage bags in various sizes from your local Container Store.
Pro Tip: Always add a few cedar wood balls to your cashmere storage. Cedar naturally prevents damage to your textiles from moths and mildew.

Olympics: past, present, future - Herne Hill to Stratford
Total expenditure for the 1948 London Olympics was £732,268 - around £20 million in today's money, compared to the £9.2bn budget of the 2012 version. Author Janie Hampton looks at the cycling events of the Austerity Games.
The new Velodrome in Stratford is a triumph. Ian Cleverly sits on the Siberian pine boards and talks track design with Ron Webb and architect Jonathan Watts, then steps outside to discover the battle for legacy by users of the much-loved Eastway circuit.
Tony Doyle, one of Britain's greatest stars of the Six-Day circuit, takes Graeme Fife through his career and onto his current mission to get the kids of Southwark on bikes.
Michael Breckon achieved his ambition to reach the Olympics as manager of the Canadian cycling team in 1972. The Englishman found himself in the middle of a terrorist massacre in Munich.
Herbie Sykes and photographer Timm Kölln continue their fascinating GDR series and uncover remarkable Stasi files on the stars of East German cycling. Ian Cleverly and Andy Waterman go deeper into Oregon in search of framebuilders and wheel manufacturers. Ridley, the Belgian bike company with the un-Belgian name, get a visit from our man Jordan Gibbons.
Two special mentions: if you enjoyed the first part of Morten Okbo and Jakob Sørensen's Belgian road trip with Brian Holm in issue 30, the second installment of The Quick and the Dead is even better. And Guy Andrews and Joe Hall take a long, hard stare at the history of shades in the peloton, from Persol to Oakley and all stops between, in a beautifully presented special feature.

If you suffer from sciatica symptoms, you may have never considered that your tight hamstrings might be a contributing factor. But tight hamstrings place increased stress on your lower back—which in turn can aggravate your sciatic nerve.
See What You Need to Know About Sciatica
Here are 2 easy hamstring stretches that may help alleviate your sciatica symptoms:
See Stretching for Back Pain Relief
1. Supine Hamstring Stretch
The supine hamstring stretch is relatively simple, and it is gentle on your lower back.
- Begin by lying flat on your back.
- Next, bend your knees towards the ceiling—while keeping your feet flat on the ground.
- Draw one knee towards your chest, and place your hands below your knee to aid this process.
- Extend your opposite leg out, and then repeat the entire process with your opposite leg.
Watch Supine Hamstring Stretch (Towel Hamstring Stretch) for Low Back Pain and Sciatica Relief Video
2. Wall Hamstring Stretch
The wall hamstring stretch is more advanced than the supine stretch, and should be avoided if you are in acute pain.
- Begin by lying flat on your back with your feet in front of a wall.
- Raise your knee up on your stabilizing leg, then slowly raise the opposite leg straight up against the wall.
- Try to achieve as close to a 90 degree angle as possible. If you are new to stretching, you can slightly bend your knee—and work your way up to 90 degrees over time.
- Repeat the entire process with your opposite leg.
Watch Wall Hamstring Stretch for Sciatica Relief Video
Additional Considerations
If you are new to stretching, begin with holding each of the above stretches for 10 seconds. You can then slowly work your way up to 30 seconds.
See Hamstring Stretching Exercises for Sciatica Pain Relief
Additionally, you can help remind yourself to perform the above hamstring stretches by tying your stretching to a daily activity. For example, every time you brush your teeth you can perform the above two stretches.
See Sciatica Causes and Exercises
Before starting any exercise program, make sure you first get the thumbs up from your doctor—you don't want to risk further aggravating the underlying cause of your sciatica symptoms.

Breakfast is essential to a healthy lifestyle and for those looking to lose weight. Whether you're just trying to live a healthier life, or drop a few pounds, when you're really hungry you will potentially make poor food choices. The goal is not allowing yourself to get to that point and the only way to do that is include protein within your meals, most especially breakfast. Here are three best breakfast choices for health and weight loss.
Avocado toast
So very popular right now for a reason, avocado toast is not only absolutely delicious, it's health and fulfilling. You can make it any way you'd like, just be sure to have a whole grain, preferably organic, seeded bread on hand at all times. My favorite brand is Eureka Seeds of the Day because it contains 8 organic grains and seeds, in addition to 5 grams of protein in 1 slice. Top your toast with 1/4 of an avocado, a little sea salt and anything else you want like tomato, an egg, arugula or even some cilantro. Make your avocado toast your own. Learn more about the health benefits of the avocado here.
Oatmeal with fruit
Oatmeal is packed with fiber; which keep you feeling full longer because it contains slow release carbohydrates that don't spike your blood sugar. Recent studies have found that you are not only nourishing your body, but eating it a few hours before exercise may actually help you burn additional fat. In addition to the health benefits of oatmeal, add some fruit to take it to the next level. Use fresh or frozen and choose a healthy fruit like raspberries, one cup contains 8 grams of fiber along with offering numerous health benefits.
One of the best proteins you can eat that will satisfy and keep you feeling full is the powerful egg. The combination of fat, calories and protein contained are great for those trying to lose weight in a fulfilling way. Go light and have a hard-boiled egg on its own with a little sea salt or top it over your avocado toast for an even more fabulous breakfast that will keep you full until lunch. Learn how to make the perfect hard-boiled eggs here.

My first trekking poles were given to me by my husband for our anniversary a few years ago. Now, some of you may cringe at this gift for an anniversary but I was thrilled to death. I am not the most graceful person you will find on any trail and my balance is by far balanced. Trekking poles have made life for me on the trail so much more enjoyable and have given me the confidence to explore deeper, hike farther, and go higher than I ever would have attempted without them. I am a complete fan of trekking poles which is why my husband recently bought his first pair.
His reasoning for purchasing trekking poles is a bit different than why I love mine. His is for help with his knee pain since his wife(ME) likes to hike mountains and this is what causes him pain. So recently we took a day trip to my favorite rocky bluff state park and he had his first experience with his trekking poles.
Our goal on this day was to hike up and down the bluffs which is a mixture of a few different trail terrains. Our first hike was up a gravel/rocky path on the East Bluff Trail.
Uphill the entire way to the top with larger rocks thrown in there for some fun.
After reaching the top we headed back down the Pothole Trail. This consisted of rocky steps all the way back down the bluff. This equals=painful on the knees.
Next, we took a bit of a break, had a snack and headed back up. Although this time it was back up steps, not a rocky trail. And after that is was back down a mixture of terrain.
He took many stops to adjust the length of his poles along the way until he finally got the hang of what he liked on which type of terrain.
After a full day of hiking a park we have hiked numerous times in the past and knew exactly what we would feel like when we were done….the verdict was that his knees were not nearly as sore as they typically are after this particular hike.
I can only hope they offer as much relief to his sore knees during our trip to Arizona…especially since my goal is the very top of a very well know rock! Which ultimately means, if we reach the top we will also have to return back to the bottom.
Here are a few more things we saw during our hike and after when we took a quick tube float in the lake as a reward for a big day of hiking.
Have you ever tried trekking poles?
What is your favorite brand?

Offshore staff
LONDON -- Infield Systems has published a new report on prospects for the offshore Arctic oil and gas sector through 2017. It analyzes market drivers and constraints, technological, vessel, and drilling rig requirements for the region, and forecasts capital expenditure per sector.
The report encompasses current and future offshore oil and gas developments within the Arctic Circle, and developments in the `sub-arctic' regions of Sakhalin Island, the Jeanne D'Arc basin offshore Eastern Canada, and the Cook Inlet in Alaska.
Infield has identified over 130 Bboe in discovered oil, gas, and condensate reserves in throughout the offshore Arctic/sub-arctic regions. Around 114 Bboe, or 86% of the total, are gas reserves, with around 16 Bbbl of oil.
Roughly 99 Bboe lies in discovered natural gas fields in the Russian offshore Arctic region (not including the Sakhalin Island area).
Infield counts 147 discovered fields, of which only 25 currently produce, with a further 13 fields either with a firm plan or under development. Most of the fields (101) are classified as "possible" developments, and many are unlikely to be developed until the longer term.
But capital expenditure in the arctic region should increase steadily throughout this decade, Infield claims, rising at over $7 billion annually through 2017. Russia, with its large reserves, should largely drive this expenditure, especially during 2013-2015 (assuming the Shtokman project goes ahead in the Barents Sea).
At present, Shtokman, with reserves of over 24 Bboe, is due onstream in 2016. Further development of Sakhalin Island and other projects in the area should also consume a large share of Russia's capex.
Canada may experience a sustained rise in expenditure after 2013, Infield adds, particularly offshore Newfoundland, with the possibility of some (currently speculative) projects to come on smaller fields in the Canadian arctic islands.
Other areas of sustained expenditure are the Snøhvit and Goliat fields in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea. Off Greenland and Alaska, the focus likely will remain more on exploration.

Working on a New Zealand student visa
As an international student in New Zealand it is a visa requirement for you to study full time. Students who are enrolled on courses that are over two years in length (or who are studying a subject that would make them eligible for points under the Skilled Migrant category) in New Zealand are eligible to work up to 20 hours per week during the term time and full time in the holiday periods.
At the moment New Zealand has a relatively strong economy which means that it is generally not too difficult for students to find part time employment in or around the universities. Typically students undertake work in restaurants, cafes, bars, tutoring, administration or retail. Part time work while studying can be very helpful in helping to meet living costs but is not usually enough to contribute towards tuition fees.
The minimum wage in New Zealand is $13.50 NZD per hour before tax.

Red Cross CNA Training Classes
Choosing the Red Cross for Your CNA Training Courses
Getting your CNA certification is a great way to start off on the path to a rewarding health care career. Many different schools and organizations offer CNA training, but the Red Cross CNA training classes are some of the best available. In these courses you will learn a variety of skills that will prepare you for a career as a Certified Nursing Assistant.
The Red Cross CNA program is also called Nurse Assistant Training or NAT. At the end of this program you will be ready to obtain an entry level job in a nursing home environment and will have the necessary qualifications to take your state's CNA exam. You will learn a wide variety of useful skills including: using medical forms to record information, taking pulse, blood pressure and temperature, patient bathing, hygiene and exercise and a variety of techniques for moving, transporting and assisting patients. In addition you will receive basic training on how to respond in emergency situations.
In general the Red Cross CNA training classes include 2 distinct sections. You will focus on theory, where you will learn in techniques and information in a classroom environment, and clinical experiences, where you will practice the skills you have learned in a real healthcare environment. The number of hours required will vary based on your program and area, but courses are generally completed in about a month.
During your theory training you will be taught through lectures and demonstrations every skill and technique that you will need as a CNA. Additionally in the Red Cross program you will receive CPR training and AED training. Once this segment of your training is successfully completed, you can then begin the clinical training.
Clinical training is a great way to really put your knowledge to the test. You will be working in an actual healthcare facility, such as a nursing home, under the direct supervision of a licensed nurse instructor. This instructor will supervise small groups of about 15 students or less. You can put your skills to work while gaining actual practical experience. At the end of your clinical time, you will know exactly what working as a CNA is all about.
Red Cross is one of the premier CNA programs because of their experience and quality instruction. When you choose the Red Cross, you are choosing a CNA program with more than 100 years of experience. Every instructor is a licensed Registered Nurse that can provide answers to questions and help when needed. Additionally you will find that the curriculum is well rounded for optimal learning. The Red Cross uses a wide variety of different teaching methods to ensure that every student gets a top quality CNA training experience.

Regent Cinema
Liverpool Road,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Crosby is a suburb of Liverpool, approximately six miles north of the city. In the 1920's the district was a desirable residential area to live in.
The Regent Picture House opened in 1920, and offered patrons a cafe. Competition was from the Corona Cinema, a Gaumont British operated cinema. It was taken over by Associated British Cinema(ABC) on 25th November 1935. Up to 1939 the cinema was enjoying good business, until the nearby Plaza Cinema in Waterloo opened.
Entrance to the building, had the paybox situated facing the street, between the two sets of doors. At the side of the cinema there was a very long passageway for patrons to queue out of the rain.
The Regent Picture House was a pre-sound cinema, and had a restricted proscenium arch, placed between exit doors either side of the screen. Curtains were raised and lowered.
In the 1960's, the Regent Cinema was running on a shoe string budget, with matinees on Wednesday afternoon, and Saturday continuous from early afternoon.
Closure came swiftly in 1967, with no forewarning in the local paper. The cinema then operated bingo for many years, until in the 1990's the nearby St. Mary's School bought the building.

I'm so happy for you! Don't mind the green, it's a seaweed wrap
5 comments:
I hear you. For me it's all a question of focus. I look at the positive reviews, the love and support, the way my kids all want to be writers because of my books, and that's enough. If we don't find a focus, it's never enough. There's always someone better, more successful, more beautiful, stronger... Thanks for being honest with your feelings. I think we all deal with that to a degree.ReplyDelete
I have tried so hard to just stay focused on the love of writing. Forget the contracts, the confetti. I tell myself the true greats wrote like no one was reading. And they would have kept writing no matter what...didn't Poe write from the gutter?ReplyDelete
But it's hard. We're human.
For every person better off, there is smoeone worse off. Like me. Not that I'm jealous of you. ;)ReplyDelete
Enjoy the contract and drink the jealousy away. After all, they are nowhere near as good as you are are they.
Keep with it.
I get that little jealous devil sitting on my shoulder every so often. I have to beat him off with a stick, and think wildly positive thoughts. He's still lurking in the corner, but I think I've tamed him, for now.ReplyDelete
I do my best not to be jealous of others' success, I really do. But I very much hear you on this. >_< Especially when it's someone's third or fourth book getting published and becoming a huge success (or, ye gods, their first...), and I'm sitting here with fifteen books under my belt. Grr. Arg.ReplyDelete

Hey all,
On Thursday, the Jesters, the team behind Dragonkin Laboratory, organised an internal play test of the content. This was the last one before launch: a front-to-back playthrough of all the content, to give a thumb up or down about readiness. The play-testers genuinely loved it, but felt that the second and third boss battles just werenÆt polished enough ¢ not to the degree that the team expect from themselves. When the Jesters got together to discuss how to broach the feedback, they felt that polishing the bosses (moving time from other areas) would lead to bugs elsewhere. Ultimately, they werenÆt happy with launching on the 30th July, and the team came to us and asked for more time.
We looked at other options, like bringing more developers onto the project, but thatÆs never a perfect solution: the new developers need time to understand the code and the update itself, and the timeframe was too short to make that worthwhile. So, we concluded that we needed to delay the project. If we wanted to be proud of it, and if we wanted you to feel secure playing it (youÆre the ones potentially risking resources by playing it, after all), then we needed that delay.
We have all agreed on a date of the 13th August. That gives the team an extra two weeks (three weeks, if you take the very original date), to give a comprehensive polish pass, and be supremely confident in the launch (at least, as confident as you ever can be with a release).
We want to make sure that the delay comes with a small bonus to you: the team can bring in additions that wonÆt affect the polishing time, but will make the release a little fuller, and ¢ more importantly ¢ will address some of the feedback that came through from Temple of Aminishi. The team had already been fluffing the rewards for Dragonkin Laboratory, for example, but the extra time allows them to add cherries on top. Specifically, from this delay, the team will be able to add:
We are very aware that July has been virtually empty of content releases. ItÆs far from what you expect and what we aim for. We want to make sure that there is still a game update on the 30th, so we will be bringing you a Clan Improvements Week alongside the already planned Beach. These are highly requested clan features that clans themselves have suggested. Here are some highlights:
We will also be giving every member several elite dungeon rewards on the launch of Dragonkin Laboratory. This will include drop enhancers and dungeoneering tokens, and will be gainable by talking to Bryll Thoksdottir outside of the Dragonkin Laboratory.
YouÆve been patient with us, and we want to thank you so much for that. Please know that the extra time will put Dragonkin Laboratory in a much better place. We also believe that youÆll enjoy it more for the polish.
There are good things on the horizon, including more mobile invites next week, and weÆll talk about some of them in FridayÆs Month Ahead for August.
Thank you all again.

The MTV reality star's dad accused him of abandoning his family after achieving notoriety and being fired from pre-fame jobs for inappropriate sexual conduct, among other things.

Following the signs.0 comments Posted by Vinodh at 2:45 PM
Oh well..
Its been a busy summer so far
- A math course to dig out the forgotten probability theory
- Auditing a Neuroscience/Psychology course on Cognitive development. Fascinating.
- Teaching Assistant for a basic prog course. My students adore me, obviously.
- Swimming - fish in the see, I know how you feel....
- Salsa dancing - Never knew dancing could be fun. I'm getting pretty good at it too.
- Biking - started biking to school
- Research is going well too. Started a Fun project to generate puns/jokes automatically. Will kill you guys with my auto PJs sometime.
And a some other things which I'm not particularly proud of.
Now, coming back to the title,
There are days when I struggle.. in such pressure.. when I need some support, some pillar to lean on. Times when I long for a good friend, to share and discuss.
I had such a bad week a while ago and was really looking for a break...
And then, on a friday, I got an email from a friend, inviting me to a AOL satsang for Guru Poornima.
Like any other invitation, I didn't RSVP.
Then, later in the same afternoon I landed on a random webpage, with a PDF - DiaryofaDisciple, an everyday journal of a disciple of Swami Vivekananda. It was a eazy, light, happy read and he went on and on about how a Guru knows his followers and gives them what they want. He says, one needn't even ask. Just wanting is enough!
Then, it struck. I realized the Calling!!!
I had to change plans for the evening and made sure I was there. Helpful friends gave me a ride to the place far far away. And well.... I got my questions answered. (kinda)
I have this knack of meeting some really amazing people in the most unusual circumstances. The good evening, turned greater awesome when a gentleman, offered a ride home. Ah, the simple things that we discussed in the car.. well, some things are better left unsaid.
Life has its own way of sorting things out!!

In this post, I'll show you how to consume a SOAP web service (asmx web service) from iOS. It's pretty easy to start off with.
There are many links that talk about the use of many frameworks like ASIHttp framework, JSON Framework, wsdl2objc tool, etc. But for the purpose of this post, I would like to keep it simple (KISS! ;-)) Those frameworks are basically used for consuming web service methods that are more complex and those that return JSON response or things like that.
More on those later. For now, let's concentrate on consuming a very basic ASMX web service hosted by w3schools.org, Temperature conversion web service.
As you can see, this web service exposes two methods: Convert a given temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit and vice versa. In this post, let's consume the first one (Celsius to Fahrenheit method).
The steps to follow for consuming the service from XCODE are given below:
- Create the request SOAP Envelope message as string
- Create a request to the URL
- Add required request header elements
- Initiate the request
- Implement connection delegate methods
- Parse the response.
For creating the soap request envelope message, open the method definition in the browser and copy-paste the request string as shown in the page. A sample is shown below:
Note the format specifier in the middle of the soap message. That is to take the value entered by the user from the text field.
Next step is to create a request to the URL of the web service. Sample code is shown below:
Next, add the required header elements to the request object. You can find out what header elements are required in the message by looking at the sample request objects shown in the webpage of the service's method. Sample code shown below:
Finally, set the body of the request by converting the soapMessage to bytes (shown in the last step above).
Next step is to implement the NSURLConnection delegate methods in the application. These methods are used to implement functionality at different stages of the request. A sample of the methods is shown below:
The code of the connection methods is given below:
-(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response { [self.webResponseData setLength:0]; } -(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data { [self.webResponseData appendData:data]; } -(void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error { NSLog(@"Some error in your Connection. Please try again."); } -(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection { NSLog(@"Received %d Bytes", [webResponseData length]); NSString *theXML = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes: [webResponseData mutableBytes] length:[webResponseData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSLog(@"%@",theXML); //now parsing the xml NSData *myData = [theXML dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSXMLParser *xmlParser = [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithData:myData]; //setting delegate of XML parser to self xmlParser.delegate = self; // Run the parser @try{ BOOL parsingResult = [xmlParser parse]; NSLog(@"parsing result = %hhd",parsingResult); } @catch (NSException* exception) { UIAlertView* alert = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Server Error" message:[exception reason] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles: nil]; [alert show]; return; } }
In the last method, you can see that we have written some code to parse the response received from the web service.
Now, to enable our application to parse the response XML, we need to indicate that our app implements the NSXmlParserDelegate interface.
For this purpose, specify the same in the interface file as shown below:
Now, the next step is to implement the NSXmlParserDelegate methods. It has 3 methods:
- didStartElement
- foundCharacters
- didEndElement
The code of the above methods is given below:
//Implement the NSXmlParserDelegate methods -(void) parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didStartElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName: (NSString *)qName attributes:(NSDictionary *)attributeDict { currentElement = elementName; } - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser foundCharacters:(NSString *)string { if ([currentElement isEqualToString:@"CelsiusToFahrenheitResult"]) { self.resultLabel.text = string; } } - (void)parser:(NSXMLParser *)parser didEndElement:(NSString *)elementName namespaceURI:(NSString *)namespaceURI qualifiedName:(NSString *)qName { NSLog(@"Parsed Element : %@", currentElement); }
The foundCharacters method is called when an XML tag is encountered that has some characters between the start and end tag. In our case, the response is wrapped between the CelsiusToFahrenheitResult tag. The characters that are found between the start and end tag are stored in the NSString variable string. Hence the code. The result string found is assigned to the result label on the screen.
When you put all the required pieces of the code together and run the app, you get this result.
When the user enters the celsius value in the text box and presses the button, the web service is called and the resultant xml response is parsed and the resulting value is displayed on to the screen.
I have attached the complete sample application source code here. Do have a look. You can download a zip copy of the same there from the bottom right of the page.
Hope this helps!

It has been documented that there is a group of righteous people called "The Nistarim". I am not referring to the lammed vav tzaddikim of the Gemara (Sanhedrin 97b, Sukkah 45b). Rather, a mystical brotherhood whereby the leader goes by the name Baal Shem (see here for wiki article and here for chabad article).
My question is twofold:
What practices did/does this group engage in?
Although all the info I could gather online seems to suggest this group formed around the time of the emergence of Hassidut, I have been told by a particular Chassidic Rebbe that his tradition is that this group dates back to the times of Rabbi Akiva, and the purpose of their continued efforts is to bring back prophecy to the Jewish people through meditative techniques passed down from generation to generation, dating back to Talmudic times, in an attempt to usher in the Messianic era. Does anyone know of any material on this subject?

The Paregien Journal – Issue 317 – Dec. 18, 2015
Stan Paregien, Editor
In the course of a year, a person who travels even a little bit will meet a lot of interesting folks. Some are witting and charming, others are self-centered and obnoxious, while most are somewhere in between.
The fact is, though, that the really important people in our lives are a fairly small number of family members and friends. And it is to those precious few that I dedicate this page.
NOTE: Please know that those who fit into one or both of those categories of "family" and "friends" are not necessarily in the photos below. I did not have recent photos of many of you, nor did I have space enough to include all. Kind of a nice problem to have, really.
This is a group of Christian men who meet in Bradenton each Thursday morning for a "show and tell" brunch. The man at left is a visitor, then (clockwise) are Jim Waid, Clay Landes, Mike Cook (sunglasses), Stan Paregien, Don Betts, Mike Sirus and Rom "Hollywood" Colella.
Abe was a native of Hawaii. As a 9-year-old boy, he watched from his family's farm as the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Abe graduated to heaven this year.

The National Skills Academy for Environmental Technologies is to launch a Green Deal based skills training package, scheduled for roll out in October.
The move will see the inclusion of training in building insulation, consumer awareness, energy efficiency, energy assessment, energy advice, and underpinning business and management skills. These join the Academy's existing core qualifications courses.
Cathryn Hickey, executive director of the Skills Academy, explained: "Many employers who support and use the Skills Academy will be working across the range of Green Deal measures."
"They believe it is necessary to expand training provision to deliver all of the skills and competences to support Green Deal and the low carbon agenda."
"By having a comprehensive training offering through the Skills Academy, building services and construction employers can be confident that the appropriate support infrastructure is in place for them to take advantage of the market when the Green Deal is launched this autumn."
Considered the 'game-changer' for the energy market, the Green Deal will facilitate its growth and broaden consumer choice.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced support of £1.3bn a year to deliver energy efficiency measures across Britain, helping to tackle fuel poverty and climate change.
The Government has further reinforced its ambitions with news that it will fund all registration and oversights costs associated with the Green Deal for two years. This means official Green Deal approval will be free for installers, assessors and council providers during this period.
The National Skills Academy for Environmental Technologies, led by employers and supported by government, delivers high quality training in renewable and low carbon measures. It is the UK's leading network of quality environmental technology training ensuring employers and sole traders have access to industry-recognised training in a location close to their business.

If you wish to turn off WiseHarvesting, your Axos Invest account(s) will continue to be rebalanced in the most efficient way possible, but please note that we will no longer monitor your account to try to find deduction opportunities between securities. In some cases, this can result in wash sales erasing the losses that were harvested over the 30 days prior to the date you turned off WiseHarvesting.
Another thing to note is that the securities in your account at the time of turning off WiseHarvesting will remain in your account since we will no longer be monitoring for harvesting opportunities. There's nothing wrong with this since we worked hard to pick the best alternate securities, but it's important to be aware of it.
Finally, regardless of whether you turn WiseHarvesting on or off, Axos Invest will continue to monitor the allocation of securities in your account and rebalance as necessary to ensure you are close to your target allocation of securities.

Traditional Christmas Cake (thanks to Party 'n Bake, the one stop baking shop in Hilton Ave)
Ingredients (all available from Party 'n Bake):
255g plain flour; ¼ level tsp salt; 1 level tsp mixed spice; 1kg Baker's Mix; 56g candied peel, chopped; 85g glace cherries, quartered; 56g almonds, blanched & chopped; 226g butter; 226g soft brown sugar; 4 eggs , lightly beaten; 1.5 level tbsps black treacle; 2tbsp brandy.
Set oven to 150°, down to 120°. Line base and sides of an 8-in round cake tin with a dbl layer of greaseproof paper, then tie a double band of brown paper, 1-in wider that the depth of the tin, round the outside. Sieve flour, salt and spice into a large bowl. Cream butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Beat in a little egg at a time.
Stir in treacle, then flour, dried fruit, peel, cherries and almonds. Turn mixture into prepared tin and bake in a cool oven for 3 hours, then reduce to very cool and bake for a further hour, or until skewer inserted comes out clean.
Leave cake to cool in tin for 10 minutes, then turn it out on to a wire tray; remove paper. When almost cold turn it upside down, pierce with a skewer and spoon brandy over. When completely cold wrap in greaseproof paper and foil, or store in an airtight tin.
Quick Tip: Make the cake at least a month before Christmas: this gives it time to mature. Before almond pasting spoon a little more brandy over the top of the cake.

That's where Altria is focused today.
Our companies have a long history of leading the industry. Today, adult smokers are increasingly seeking new options, including those that reduce risk. We're working to provide those choices.
Reducing risk.
The future of our industry is about innovation, harm reduction and informed consumer choice.
More than half of adult smokers – millions of people – are looking for innovative alternatives to cigarettes that reduce the risk of smoking.
That's why Altria is investing in a portfolio of new products that satisfy changing preferences and have the potential for lower risk. Through product innovations, we strive to give consumers the choices they want today — and develop new technologies for tomorrow.
Altria was the first and only company in the industry to support FDA regulation of tobacco. This was the necessary first step to bring innovative, reduced-risk products to market.
Today, FDA acknowledges the continuum of risk for tobacco products and recognizes the role non-combustible products may play in reducing harm for smokers. We are greatly encouraged by the FDA's commitment to harm reduction and by its stated goal to "
encourage innovative, less harmful and satisfying non-combustible products for adults who need or want nicotine."
Expanding choice.
Altria is leveraging the resources across our company to offer a new portfolio of product options for adult tobacco consumers, with the potential to reduce risk.
We are focused on providing a compelling portfolio of non-combustible products that adult smokers enjoy, while conducting the necessary science to bring them to market. We focus on meeting three important consumer expectations:
superior sensory experiences and nicotine satisfaction;
reduced health risks and accurate relative risk information; and
the ability to avoid social friction.
We believe these product platforms have the potential to drive adult smoker conversion, and we're seeking regulatory authorization to inform adult smokers of the facts about those choices.
